Chapter 47 Three Parts

Gu Huaizhen had 300 people on his side and more than 50 mule carts, and the officers and soldiers on the opposite side could have nearly 1,000 people depending on the formation

He led 300 people to attack 1,000 officers and soldiers, on the surface, it was no different from looking for death, but in fact, Gu Huaizhen also had his own calculations

There are a total of four hall masters in the Dragon Slaying Gang, and each of them is not a fuel-efficient lamp, just like the hall master of the White Tiger Hall, Xing Ming'an

, It can be regarded as an old treacherous and cunning Qinglong Hall is the hand of the four halls, the hall master Gu Huaizhen will not be a general, when the Dragon Slaying Gang started in Shaanxi, he participated in it, even if it was in vain in the end, but he also retained a certain strength

Gu Huaizhen knows some art of war, he knows that now is the best time to charge, taking advantage of the fact that the troops of the officers and soldiers who have opened the way are swarming backwards and fleeing, he will lead the team to chase after them, and he will definitely be able to break up the positions of the officers and soldiers

The facts are exactly the same as Gu Huaizhen expected, he led the rebels to kill the front, the officers and soldiers on the opposite side saw that their brothers were defeated and retreated, how could they have the will to fight, they turned around and ran The difficult governor Wu 18 had just received a report, saying that the people in front of him had a large number of muskets, and before they could give the order to attack, the rebels killed them, and their own subordinates were even more unbearable, so they left him behind and ran away with their heads in their hands

Seeing this situation, Wu Sinan naturally would not shout loudly and stop the officers and soldiers, because he understood that even if he shouted to his throat, these soldiers would not come back to fight to the death with the other party, and Lord Wu would not do it, and there were still a few confidantes in his family, how could he just die so, he didn't think about it, he ran to the sedan chair, and under the protection of his cronies, he fled backwards

Looking at it this way, Lord Wu seems to be an official with little ability, the so-called strange temper, that is, he can bully and bully his subordinates, but, when he was running away, Lord Wu's strange temper seemed to be committed again, he coldly pulled out the knife of his cronies' guards, and came to himself Of course, Lord Wu will not stab at the vital place, nor will he be too dead, and he will insert it deeply

His actions startled his guards, and they hurriedly asked, but Lord Wu only said one sentence, "Don't make a fuss, just run, if someone asks, just say that they fought with the rebels and were stabbed" The guards saw that the adults did this, so they had to promise the big guy to flee into Nanping County in one go, and then they calmed down and sighed, after all, the traitors would not have the courage to attack the county seat

This kind of stupid thing, Gu Huaizhen would definitely not do, it can be said that when he didn't chase half the way, he led his troops to retreat, drove the mule cart, and fled elsewhere

If according to the normal situation, there are only about 300 rebels, and the officers and soldiers who hit the outpost saw it, and after reporting to Lord Wu, Lord Wu ordered the troops and horses, and then went to chase after him, and he would definitely be able to catch up, no matter what, with more than 50 mule carts, just like that, where could they escape

However, no one thought that Lord Wu made another incredible move, not only did he chase it, but also asked the officers and soldiers to strictly guard the city, posing a face, worried about the delay of the traitor's posture of attacking the city, the traitors will inevitably seize the time to escape, but you don't chase today, gather troops tomorrow, send more of your subordinates out to find it, eighty percent can also be found, more than 50 carts, more than 300 people, no matter where they go, it is also dazzling, but, Lord Wu did not do this, only sent a dozen people out to investigate, and then nested in the county seat, Let your staff write the recital for you

The full text is probably like this: "Minister, Fujian Governor Wu Sinan knocked on my emperor Sheng'an to present the land of Penghu, occupied by the Dutch barbarians, the minister intends to gather the sailors to recover the lost land, but the sailors are outdated, and there are many warships that cannot, which really makes the ministers more than capable of committing our country's land, although it is far away, it has always been my Ming purpose, the minister lost the land, and was unable to recapture it, I am really ashamed, there is a negative saint on the grace not long ago, the minister inspected Yanping Mansion, on the way back yesterday, on the official road of Nanping County, Encountering a rebel with a large number of firearms, ambushing Weichen, the minister fought desperately, seriously injured, Fang was lucky to break through the rebels can have such a number of firearms, obviously purchased from the hands of Taiyu bent Yangyi, trying to plot misdeeds at this time Shaanxi Liukou chaos, this group of rebels such as taking this opportunity to make waves, will inevitably shake the country's ministers have the intention to gather troops to exterminate this group of rebels, helplessly seriously injured, difficult to preside over the big move, but also ask Your Majesty, bold and loyal ministers, replace Weichen, come here to coordinate the overall situation, lead the division to suppress the bandits" This twist and turn and what happened yesterday is not at all, Needless to say, the most puzzling thing is that the governor's injury is not serious, why do you still ask to abdicate and make way for Xian

I didn't understand who my staff was, but the adults asked me to write, so I could only write like this, and after I finished writing, I sent it to Beijing as soon as possible

From Fujian to Beijing, if you use 600 miles to expedit, there is half a month, you can basically arrive However, now most of the post stations have been withdrawn, there are few places to change horses, this walk, the time can be long, it took more than a month, before it was sent into the capital

Wu Sinan mentioned the occupation of Penghu in the meloquis, but did not say that Taiyuwan was occupied, why is this? The reason is actually very simple, because the Ming Dynasty at that time did not recognize Taiyuwan as the land of China, but only included the Penghu Islands in the territory, so Lord Wu would say that the Dutch fought with the Portuguese for the ownership of Macao as early as the end of Wanli, but they were defeated and had no choice but to flee to the Penghu Islands and settle down

At that time, the Ming Dynasty had withdrawn the garrison on the Penghu Islands, so the Dutch occupied Penghu without much effort until the second year of the Apocalypse

At that time, the governor of Fujian was not easy to provoke, and immediately sent troops to teach the Dutch a hard lesson, not only the Dutch soldiers who invaded Quanzhou and Zhangzhou were beaten away, but also hit Penghu in one fell swoop, and the Dutch drove the Dutch away, and the defeated Dutch had to flee to the south of Taiyuwan, because the Ming Dynasty did not attach importance to Taiqiuwan, and the Fujian governor did not continue to catch up, so that the Dutch took root, but the Dutch only occupied the southern part of Taiyuwan at that time, and in the north of Taiqiuwan, he also had a good neighbor, this neighbor was called Spain

After the Dutch occupied the southern part of the South Bay, Spain's maritime navigation and trade were threatened, and in May of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the Spanish headquarters in Manila sent Admiral Antony with 12 board ships and 300 soldiers to set out from Luzon, cross the Bashang Strait, and go north along the east coast of Taiqiwan, and landed at Sanmink Point on May 11, because it was difficult to gain a foothold in the place, and continued to go north along the coast, entered Jilong Harbor on the 12th, landed on Jilongyu, and built the city of Holy Savior and two batteries at the southwest end of the island, in July of the same year, The Spanish governor in Manila ordered two ships to go to Taiwan, and in August he personally led four ships to Taiwan, in an attempt to rendezvous with the Spanish army occupying Taiwan and dominate Taiwan Bend, but because of the strong wind encountered on the way, he had to return to the Philippines

*******************************************************

There was a great drought in Shaanxi, and the rogues were in turmoil, and the movement was getting bigger and bigger, how could Lord Yue, who was at home, not hear that when he heard that in addition to Shaanxi, Ningxia, Shanxi, and Gansu were all in turmoil, and the imperial court suppressed it unfavorably, he could no longer sit still

Immediately, personally drafted a recital, sent someone to send to the Beijing division of his recital, the content is very simple, said that now I heard that Shaanxi drought, the rogue is in chaos, although the minister Ding is worried at home, but after all, it is the first emperor appointed to the minister, when the country is in trouble, when the righteousness of the monarch is the most important, how can you be at home to the rogue raging, delay for a long time, will definitely lose the vitality of the court, the Tatars outside the gate look at the Central Plains, if you spend too much effort on the Liukou, you will inevitably be the Tatars to reap the benefits of the fisherman, so, the minister is now asking for love, and I hope that the emperor will allow the minister to be reinstated, led the army to suppress bandits

Yue Su has the Changfeng Dart Bureau as the Olympic aid, although the memo was written more than half a month later than Governor Wu's, but it was the first to deliver his memorabilia, naturally no one dared to delay, and it was sent to the Empress Dowager Zhang as soon as possible

After Empress Dowager Zhang saw Yue Su's performance, she was not moved by Yue Su's loyalty at first, and then she wanted to make a decision to recruit Yue Su into Beijing, but after thinking about it, she dispelled this idea

Why do you not hate me when I treat you like this, but you want to help me? Are you really faithful? Doesn't it mean anything else? When you return to Beijing and reinstate your post, you can barely do it, but you are just asked to lead troops to suppress bandits, and then let you be the governor of the five provinces, how much power is there, how many soldiers and horses are in charge, you still have so many cronies and comrades in the DPRK and China, it can be said that once you pull the flag and rebel, who can cure you? I, an orphan and widow, must not lose the country

Empress Dowager Zhang thought of this section, so she put Yue Su's recital aside, and turned to study whether to reinstate Yue Suguan As for letting Yue Su raise troops to suppress bandits, she didn't think about it at all, and studied it for a long time, and Empress Dowager Zhang didn't make up her mind Finally, she picked up Yue Su's recital again and read it again, and when she saw the end, she suddenly realized that there seemed to be something missing

It turned out that in the past, there were suggestions from the cabinet and the celebrant supervisor, but once, there was no why not, because Yue Su's position was not said there, and he took the initiative to ask for affection, please go to war, Fang Congzhe is really inconvenient to give advice and suggestions, and it is bound to offend Yue Su, suggest that he be allowed to play, isn't that nothing to do, he is not willing to let Yue Su come back, take away his current rights and be in a dilemma, simply don't write anything, Queen Mother, you take your own idea, Fang Congzhe doesn't write, and the old fox Zou Yi naturally won't write, Just like that, it was given to the Queen Mother as it was

At this time, Empress Dowager Zhang found that there was no suggestion from the cabinet and the celebrant on the fold, so she pondered for a while and said: "Come on, go to the cabinet to pass the decree, and ask the first assistant to meet in the imperial study" to summon the courtiers, it is inconvenient for the Empress Dowager Zhang to be in Cining Palace, and it is the right way to lead her son to meet in the imperial study

Fang Congzhe was summoned, and immediately understood, this is the Queen Mother wants to discuss with herself about Yue Su, what should she say, along the way, Lord Fang was thinking about it, and when he was about to arrive at the imperial study, he finally thought of a statement

Entering the imperial study, I saw the Empress Dowager Zhang sitting on it with her son, Fang Congzhe bowed and said: "The minister from the Zhe see my emperor long live, the queen mother Chitose" into the palace to see, that is respect and inferiority, don't look at the queen mother in power, the emperor is young, but the emperor is the emperor, long live is long live, your queen mother is just a thousand years old, of course you have to be ranked after long live

"Fang Qing's family is flat, come here, look at the seat" Zhang Yan said calmly Soon, a little eunuch moved the chair, and asked Fang Congzhe to sit down from the bottom After sitting down, he bowed again, and said: "I don't know if the emperor summoned Weichen here, what instructions do you have?" ”

"Fang Qing's family, the excerpts sent by Yue Qing's family, I think you have also seen the excerpts sent in the past, and the cabinet will give opinions, but this time there is none, so the emperor is very puzzled and wants to ask Fang Qing's family, why did he not give advice" Zhang Yan said lightly

"Ah...... It turned out that the emperor summoned Weichen for this matter, and the minister had indeed seen it, but after all, Lord Yue was a minister who entrusted Gu, even if Ding Wei returned to his hometown, his status was above Weichen, so his performance, Weichen really didn't dare to give opinions without authorization, and asked the emperor to judge "Fang Congzhe first pretended to be surprised, and then calmly explained

"Oh, so that's the case, did I say it" Zhang Yan nodded, and then said: "Fang Qing's family, the emperor saw Yue Qing's excerpt, what he wrote was very pertinent, and he was even touched by his loyalty, but now, Yue Qing is worried at home after all, if he does his filial piety now, if he takes love now, he can't bear it, but if he doesn't win love, the chaos in Shaanxi is getting bigger and bigger, just like Yue Qing said in the fold, once it drags on for a long time, it will inevitably damage the vitality of the court, you see, what should I do?" ”

"Your Majesty, the matter of suppressing bandits, I and other ministers, did not dare to slack off, every day are discussing countermeasures to the rogues in Shaanxi and other places, all because of the famine, the people are not able to make a living, before they rebelled, for nothing more than a bite of food in the current dynasty can fight the ministers, in fact, there are countless people, such as the military department of Shangshu Xiong, if he goes out, it is not difficult to come to quell the rebellion, Lord Xiong and Lord Yue do things, the temperament is probably the same, are all iron-fisted people in the Yue Lord has 'Yue Yan King', ' Yue shaved his head's nickname, once these two adults go to suppress the bandits, want to come to the rogues, never dare to surrender, will definitely fight to the death most of the rogues, in fact, innocent victims, because of the lack of food, so they take risks, vain words to kill, it is really unbearable, not I and other people who read the sage books can do so the ministers and so these days, has always wanted to choose a person who can coexist with grace and might, command the overall situation, and strive to Fu as the main, supplemented by suppression, try to make those innocent people Zhao'an can not kill a person, not kill a person" Fang Congzhe spoke, While carefully looking at the face of the Empress Dowager Zhang, after seeing that Zhang Yan listened to her own point of view, she showed a satisfied expression, and nodded again and again, before she dared to finish her words from beginning to end

Before Zhang Yan entered the palace, the Zhang family was just a small family, and there was no difference between them and ordinary people

Originally, Zhang Yan didn't plan to let Yue Su lead the troops, but now after hearing this, she can't let Yue Su lead the troops, and she can't let Yue Su command the troops, 'Yue Yan King', 'Yue Shaved Head', she has long heard that if such an iron-fisted person is allowed to lead the army, regardless of whether he is loyal or not, those innocent victims are unlucky, and he must not be allowed to kill most of them

Yue Su must not be allowed to lead the troops

Zhang Yan thought so, pondered for a moment, and asked again: "Fang Qing's family, since you said that the Yue Qing family and the Xiong Qing family are not suitable, then you can choose the right person to come now, and this matter can't be dragged on like this."

"In the past few days, the minister has been thinking about the candidate, it just so happened that the right talent, the governor of the three sides Yang He Yang sent a letter of recital, the meaning of the recital, and the ministers and others think of the basic same Yang Lord Jiuzhen border, in the Shaanxi area, can be described as highly respected, if he presides over the overall situation, the minister believes that he will receive all the credit" Fang Congzhe said this, and took out a recital from the cuff

Zhang Yan immediately asked the little eunuch to take it and present it, and took a look, it was indeed the recital of Yang Heshangchen, the governor of the three sides, and its content was also consistent with what Fang Congzhe said, they were all intended to be suppressed and appeased, with the main thing being and the suppression being supplemented

After reading this recital, Empress Dowager Zhang nodded and said, "Then let's do it, wait for the celebrant to pass on the decree and let Yang He preside over the suppression of the matter......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Yan paused again, and after a while, he continued: "As for the matter of Yue Qing's family's request for affection, I think it will be replied like this, Yue Qing's loyalty to the monarch, the emperor is very pleased, but after all, the Qing family is in the period of filial piety, if the court takes the affection, will not let the Qing family bear an unfilial infamy, the emperor really can't bear it, just draft it according to this meaning, Fang Qing's family, you can step down" At the beginning, Zhang Yan was still thinking about whether to reinstate Yue Suguan, just after talking to Fang Congzhe, Zhang Yan realizedSince there are many people in the DPRK and China, then you don't have to come back for the time being, and when the situation is more stable and my rights are more stable, it will not be too late for you to come back

Fang Congzhe had long expected that after Zhang Yan listened to his words, he would definitely not be thinking about reviving Yue Su's love, Lord Yue, you should worry at home first

Fang Congzhe was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was impassive, and he only said flatly: "Weichen retires"

*******************************************************

In the afternoon of the same day, according to the Queen Mother's wishes, he prepared a reply to Yue Su, as well as the will of Yang He to preside over the suppression of bandits, Zhang Yan approved them one by one, and planned to send them out the next day

As a result, early the next morning, Wu Sinan's excerpt was delivered, and there was another excerpt that arrived on the same day as him, which was sent by Sun Chengzong, the governor of Jiliao, who invited himself to the office due to illness

It's still the old rule, first handed to the cabinet, and after the cabinet gives opinions, it is sent to the celebrant and then forwarded to the Empress Dowager Zhang

These two things are big things, first say that Sun Chengzong resigned, Sun Chengzong is old, although his health is not particularly good, but it is not bad, he wants to give office, and the body has nothing to do with it, I really don't want to do it Since the fall of the Donglin Party, he has resigned, but was stopped by the carpenter emperor, thinking of the love between teachers and students, Sun Chengzong also held his breath, guarded the Liaodong portal for the students, and then Yue Su came to power, and did not treat Sun Chengzong how, or as always, you are normal, I am not difficult for you to wait until Yue Su Ding worry, when Fang Congzhe was in charge, Sun Chengzong's life was very sad, he was ostracized, and he was often impeached inexplicably, so he really didn't want to do it, so he only submitted his resignation today

Fang Congzhe wrote a suggestion on this recital, which probably means that Sun Chengzong is very old, and hopes that the emperor will allow him to invite him to the post of governor of Jiliao, which can be taken over by Xiong Tingbi, the current secretary of the Ministry of War

This suggestion is very coincidental, why do you say this, it is because when Xiong Tingbi was the first time he served as the Liaodong Economic Strategy, he was replaced by this old man, and today Fang Congzhe plans to let him replace Xiong Tingbi's military department secretary again

No one knows why Sun Chengzong has always been impeached during this period of time, but as soon as he left, Liaodong lost his coach, and the most suitable person to be able to *** seems to be Xiong Tingbi

After reading this excerpt, Empress Dowager Zhang thought for a while, and said silently, "It can be corrected" Let's talk about Wu Sinan's excerpt, the dignified governor was ambushed, and the other party still has a large number of firearms, what is the difference between this and a rebellion If it is as in the past, the cabinet will definitely supervise and let Wu Sinan go all out to suppress the bandits, but now the fold says that the governor has been injured a lot and is lying on the bed, what can I do? Really approved Wu Sinan's recital, removed him, and changed the governor, it doesn't seem to be a thing, people are at least injured when they fight with the rebels, and they can't get up for a while, and they are polite and polite, you really remove the official, and if there are officials who encounter this in the future, who dares to fight with the traitors, in case they are injured and removed, isn't it chilling to change people, if you don't change people, who will preside over the overall situation to suppress the bandits? Wu Sinan also described the traitors as very powerful, with so many firearms, they really attacked the city and plundered the land, and there was trouble, it would be difficult to clean up the chaos in the west and not settle down, and the chaos in the south would not let the Ming Dynasty take a breath

The most infuriating thing is that in this excerpt, Fang Congzhe just helped the Queen Mother analyze the pros and cons, explaining that the matter of suppressing bandits is imperative, and he must hurry up and say that he can't remove Wu Sinan, what should I do, the old guy didn't even say where is your spiritual head on Sun Chengzong's fold? After Zhang Yan read it, she thought about it, and then ordered: "Chuan Zou Yi came to see me"

Zou Yi is now in the ceremonial supervisor, and after getting the news of the queen mother's summons, he hurriedly rushed to Cining Palace and entered the door, bowed down and said: "The old slave sees the queen mother, I don't know what happened to the queen mother summoning the old slave?" ”

"Fujian Governor Wu Sinan came up with the excerpt, have you already seen it?" Zhang Yan asked

"Yes, the old slave of the Queen Mother has already seen it"

"What Fang Congzhe said is good, but he has never said a specific method, I also know that the traitors there should be eliminated immediately, so as not to cause chaos, but Wu Sinan's injuries are so serious, and he can't be replaced, who is in charge of the overall situation?" Zhang Yan said quite dissatisfied
