Chapter 111: Wenyuan Pavilion
Jingshi Wenyuan Pavilion, the place where the Ming cabinet does things, and the highest palace of pursuit in the minds of civil officials. Although the Ming Dynasty does not have a prime minister, but the first assistant is more powerful than the original prime minister, even how much silver the emperor uses to marry which wife to sleep with which concubine and which prince has to go to a few more words, the emperor's decree feels inappropriate, and it is directly returned, although the emperor of the Ming Dynasty can be lazy, but one by one lives pitifully, and it has to be the chief of the Qing Dynasty in the back, Shu Tan, who has a military aircraft department to act as a chieftain, the chief said that no one dares to fart, Ji Xiaolan only saves zài in the TV, and the real Ji Xiaolan was scolded by Qianlong as raising a dog.
After Chongzhen ascended the throne, many cabinet ministers have been replaced, and the world is full of chaos, and some officials have begun to be afraid of taking responsibility. The current situation is that many people who can be elders do not want to continue to be, and those who can't be squeezed their heads and want to come in. In the four years of Chongzhen, Qian Xiangkun, Sun Fenghe, and He Ruzhong repeatedly resigned due to old illness, and Chongzhen finally let them go after rejecting them several times, the only thing is that Sun Chengzong applied for retirement six or seven times a year, and the emperor rejected it again and again.
Today, there is a bit of a dullness in the Wenyuan Pavilion, and no one is silent about the top civil officials, because there are many old people in the cabinet last year, and the candidates who will be promoted have not yet been decided, so several candidates also participated in the meeting, including Min Hongxue and Xu Guangqi, the new officials of the Ministry of Shangshu Min Hongxue and Xu Guangqi and others. Chongzhen was wearing a simple regular dress and looked coldly at the officials below.
Wang Chengen's sharp voice sounded, and he read a note: "Shandong Patrol according to Wang Dao Chun Shu: Shandong Li Jiucheng Kong is virtuous and difficult, not counting rì and nine counties are broken, thirty rì and Deng County is lost, there is no other, the traitor Yuanhua Mingtong clues, Ji Fu Yu Dacheng bribed out of the cage, the mistake is in the front, everyone knows it." Xingwen Deng's camp gods descended from the sky, and Dengzhen was restored, but the rebel thieves nearly 10,000 people went down to Huang County, and the Huang County mistakenly led the troops to Yuanhua, which was overcome by the rebels, when the thieves broke the city, the county people were suspected of Yuanhua and rebellion, so the road was pure Yunran. Today, the Sun thief is especially hidden among the thieves, the Wailai Mansion is useless and tends to be flat, and the Wendeng camp is the rebel Geng Zhongming blocked in the dangerous place of the Huangxian Mountain. The ministers of the beggar temple are combined to knock on the ground, and strive to protect the dangerous territory, the society is very fortunate, and the world is very fortunate. ”
Chongzhen looked at the quiet pavilion elder below, and a wave of exhaustion surged in his heart, Da Linghe was still holding on, but the news didn't make sense at all, and he didn't know how long that young master could hold on. Now Shandong, which controls the canal, is actually in chaos like this, and the annual cost of Dengzhou Qiang Town is 900,000 taels, and it has become a ruin in a blink of an eye, and he has turned Sun Yuan into hatred in his heart.
He resisted the urge to scold in his heart, and said as calmly as possible: "Everyone Aiqing has listened, everyone can talk about it." ”
Although Liang Tingdong did not enter the cabinet, he also participated as a soldier as a soldier, and after listening, he looked left and right at all the pavilion elders, and saw that everyone was looking at him, and knew that he was the only one who spoke first. I had to cough dryly and said: "Your Majesty, Li Jiucheng is wreaking havoc in Shandong, and the ministers are not handling the soldiers effectively, so they dare not shirk the blame, and the ministers ask to resign from the post of the soldiers to ......."
Chongzhen coldly interrupted him and said: "What I want today is to offer a plan, if everyone is about to resign, what is the use of me asking for ministers?" ”
Liang Tingdong lowered his head in embarrassment and listened, Chongzhen actually had a very good impression of him, Liang Tingdong had won several battles since he took office as his own soldier, and he was more strategic than an ordinary civilian official. Chongzhen looked at him like this, and felt a little unbearable in his heart, and slowly said with a sè face: "This soldier has made many achievements since he took office, I have seen it, Liang Aiqing can't be presumptuous, let's talk about the strategy in my heart first, let the ministers refer to it." ”
Liang Tingdong had a step at this time, and hurriedly said: "There are four places where Fang Jin was recruited, the thieves of Shanxi, the Jiannu of the Daling River, the Haikou of Fujian, and finally Li Jiucheng and others from Shandong. The disease of Fujian Haikou is not to worry about for the time being, and the thieves in Shanxi seem to have a huge number of people, but they are actually vulnerable. The most worrying person is Jiannu and Li Jiucheng'er, Li Jiucheng's rebels are mostly Dongzhen Jīng Rui, although they were defeated by the Wendeng camp in Dengzhou, but their strength was not greatly damaged. Lü Zhi reported that the Wendeng camp had many losses on Shenmi Island and Dengzhou, and it was because of the lack of strength to attack in Huang County......"
Chongzhen's face sank again, and Chen Xintang reported that he had lost nearly 1,000 people in Dengzhou, and in addition to the battle of Shenmi Island in June, according to his 3,500 troops, Jīng Rui had lost more than half.
"Chen Si Li Jiucheng's momentum, his defeat in Dengzhou, morale has declined, but can prevent Wen Deng's camp in Huang County, it can be seen that the strength is still there, Wen Deng's camp jīng soldiers are unbearable and too bad, and they must be recruited and dispatched to rescue Shandong, so as not to suffer another military disaster in the anointed land of Jinan Qingzhou."
Chongzhen nodded slightly, finally able to hear something real, he interjected and asked, "Where are the soldiers used now?" ”
"At present, the siege of the Daling River has not been solved, there is not only the urgency of relieving the siege, but also the worry of the thistle breach, Tianjin, Changping, Miyun soldiers or to prevent thistle or aid Liao. The remaining nine sides must be captured and guarded against thieves, there is no soldier to adjust, the minister repeatedly calculated, only the Tongzhou soldier can be adjusted, the deputy general soldier Yang Yufan is the son of the former Shandong general soldier Yang Zhaoji, quite paternal, can be of great use. However, Tongzhou choked the east of the Beijing Division, and the ministers did not dare to transfer all of them, so the ministry only transferred the deputy general army of Yang Yufan, and transferred Wang Hong of Tianjin and Liu Guozhu of Baoding, and added the general rank of Yang Yufan to the general army of the army, and went to Qingzhou to intercept Li Jiucheng's rebels. ”
The other pavilion elders still listened quietly, they would not take this matter lightly, because Li Jiucheng's combat strength was still strong, and the people of Shandong only had the strength to defend the city in the face of them, and once they made a mistake, it was easy to be settled.
Liang Tingdong saw that everyone didn't react, so he stubbornly continued: "Second, I can only urge Wendeng Camp to make more efforts. ”
Wen Tiren stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Chen Xin's department has fought many bloody battles in the past two years, although Chen Xin is loyal and righteous, he is also flesh and blood. Now Liaohai can use the soldiers, the first tweet to the camp and the Sichuan soldiers, but the strong soldiers are not easy to come by, and the ministers ask the soldiers not to urge too much. ”
The relationship between Wen Tiren and Chen Xin is well known to the court, Chen Xin has been marked by the Wen faction since the Battle of Gu'an, and Wen Tiren has never hidden his head for Chen Xin in the court.
Although Liang Tingdong knew, if the war situation continued to deteriorate now, it might threaten his own official position, so he still argued: "Back to the old man's words, the lower officials did not intend to urge Chen Xin, but just asked the Wendeng battalion to drag the rebels and prevent them from flowing to Jinan Qingzhou, and wait for the Yang Yufan army to surround and level Li Jiucheng in one fell swoop." ”
Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction, and said softly to Wen Tiren: "What Wen Aiqing said is reasonable, and the arrangement of this soldier is also appropriate, so I will dispatch the division as soon as possible." ”
Liang Tingdong passed the test again, and let out a long breath after sitting down.
"What else does this soldier have to do with the Daling River, let's talk about it today."
Liang Tingdong trembled as if he had been pricked by a needle when he heard the three words of Da Linghe, this was already his nightmare, he sometimes preferred Zu Dashou to be completely wiped out by Huang Taiji in a battle, rather than drag it like this and not die.
The elders of the pavilion quieted down again, looking like they had nothing to do with themselves, Zhou Yanru was like an old monk in the Dingding, he was the first assistant of the cabinet, a scholar of the Jianji Palace, Wen Tiren and Wu Zongda were scholars of the Wuying Palace, the elder and the first assistant were only one level apart, but the power gap was very large, the incumbent was on guard, and the lower was covetous, and the relationship slowly turned into antagonism.
"This, the emperor, the ministers have repeatedly urged Liaozhen to break the siege in a big way, but ...... But Master Sun and Qiu Jiahe both insisted that Wendeng Camp and the Sichuan soldiers go together, and they had to do so to have a chance of winning. ”
Chongzhen's face showed impatience, and he scolded loudly: "The Wendeng camp is still in Denglai, Zu Dashou has been sticking to April, this battle is attracting the attention of the world, if you sit back and watch, how will the world see me." ”
Liang Tingdong's face turned red, he knew that those people in Liaozhen, once the army broke the siege, it would definitely be another fiasco, and he would still be responsible at that time.
He didn't know what to do, but Zhou Yanru seemed to wake up from his meditation, he gave Xu Guangqi, who was also attending the meeting, a look, Xu Guangqi stood up and said: "Since it is necessary for the Wendeng camp to aid Liao, why not appease Li Jiucheng's department, so that the Wendeng camp can be quickly transferred to Liao Town, so that Shandong does not have to be eroded, and the various departments can be preserved, and the Wendeng camp can be transferred to aid Liao, wouldn't it be better than killing." ”
Everyone looked up in surprise and looked at this squire with great prestige and seniority.
