Chapter 182: Gao Di's Question
Zhu Youcheng and Wei Zhongxian came to the living room, and the servants had already prepared a table of delicious food, and Zhu Youcheng couldn't help but move his index fingers. In the past few days, I have been marching outside, and I have eaten relatively simply, and I ran for a day yesterday, and my stomach is even more hungry, but my mother Wei Honglian did not come out, and Zhu Youcheng couldn't eat first.
After a while, Wei Honglian put Xiao Guozhong to sleep, came out to take a look, and said in surprise: "Daddy, Cheng'er, why don't you eat?" ”
Wei Zhongxian said with a smile: "It's not your son yet, my grandson's 'filial piety' comes first, if you don't move the chopsticks, he will resolutely not eat." ”
Wei Honglian said a few words of disgust on her lips, but she was happy in her heart. She hurriedly sat down, laid a chopstick dish for Wei Zhongxian with her own hands, and then picked up a little dish herself. As soon as she put down her chopsticks, she saw Wei Zhongxian and Zhu Youcheng pounce on them like evil tigers, gobbling them up. It turned out that at noon, these two were very restrained in the palace and didn't eat enough.
Zhu Youcheng sandwiched a large piece of beef, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and heard a report from his subordinates: "The military department is still the secretary of the military department, and the senior is asking to see him." ”
Zhu Youcheng didn't choke to death, and this Gaodi came too early. He knew that Gao Di would come to ask Wei Zhongxian for help, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
The beef can't go up, it can't go down, it's stuck in the middle of his throat, he beat his chest, and finally swallowed the beef, otherwise the first bachelor who was stuck in the rice in the history of Daming would be freshly baked.
Wei Zhongxian put down his chopsticks and said, "Please let him in." ”
Wei Honglian heard that a minister had come to visit Wei Zhongxian, and knew that they were going to discuss important matters, so she hurriedly returned to the inner room.
Zhu Youcheng ignored it and continued to chew his head.
Gao Shou's face was depressed, like a mourning exam, and he walked into the living room in despair.
As soon as you enter the living room. He fell to his knees with a "plop" and cried: "The factory man save me!" ”
Wei Zhongxian supervised the East Factory, so everyone called him the Lord of the Factory.
Wei Zhongxian pretended to be surprised and asked, "Master Gao was appointed as the Liaodong Economic Strategy, and he is regarded as a feudal official, why do you ask our family for help?" Could it be that there are still people in the capital who dare to harm you? ”
"Don't make fun of the lower officials. Since the first war of Salhu in the forty-fourth year of Wanli, Liaodong has rarely had a good death. Where is the emperor who promoted me to an official, it is clearly forcing me to die. Can the master of the factory persuade the emperor to retract his order, the lower officials are really not the material to lead troops to fight. ”
"The emperor's golden mouth, how can it be changed overnight? But are you ready to go to work? ”
"What is there to prepare? I have prepared a bottle of Heding Red, and when the city was broken, I committed suicide with medicine, which can be regarded as loyal to the country. ”
"I'm afraid one bottle is not enough. It is best to prepare a dozen bottles, one bottle for each person in the family. A faint voice came from the side of the Eight Immortals' table.
"You ......" Gao Di Qi Ji. He had already seen this person lying at the table of the Eight Immortals and not leaving, eating Haisai vigorously, but Wei Zhongxian did not speak, he knew that this person was afraid that he was a cronie of the master of the factory, so he did not dare to speak, so he could only look at the diner with eyes that could kill people, and wanted to force him away. Unfortunately, the man's eyes were always on the table. He didn't pay attention to Gao Di at all, he was in vain.
"Ugh." Gao Di said in his heart, "You can eat it, but now that the old man is about to die, you still have the heart to ridicule yourself, it's really unbearable for uncle, and unbearable for aunt." ”
Gao Di also ignored Wei Zhongxian's presence. said angrily: "You are ruthless. The general of the defeated army, at most, will kill me alone, can he still destroy the whole family? ”
"Not necessarily. When Sun Chengzong supervised Liaodong, although he wasted a lot of gold and silver, he did not lose his teacher and humiliate the country. And Master Gao went to Liaodong. Jiannu broke several cities in a row, slaughtering the soldiers and civilians in the city, it is inevitable that people will not be suspected, and the tall man secretly colluded with Jiannu. Convicted of treason, well, let's just punish the nine clans so-so. ”
Zhu Youcheng is purely scaring Gao Di. Gao Di is an old fritter in officialdom, and he would not have been fooled, but he was also a little worried that the saint would be deceived, so he would be speechless. once remembered that the predecessor of Liaodong Jinglu Xiong Tingbi almost moved. He has a lot of political enemies in the court, and when they fall into the ground, then they will be miserable.
Gao Di fixed his eyes and saw that the person he knew was the triumphant Zhu Youcheng. He blessed his soul, bowed deeply to Zhu Youcheng, and said: "Zhuangyuanlang is an expert in marching and fighting, please give advice." ”
Zhu Youcheng took the towel handed over by the maid, wiped his mouth, wiped his hands again, and asked slowly: "What do you think of the situation in Liaodong now?" ”
Without thinking, Gaudí replied, "It's as dangerous as an egg." The Guanningjin defense line is a longitudinal defense line, and several cities are like a string of sugar gourds, extending to the north. Lord Sun Chengzong meant that if the enemy wanted to attack Shanhaiguan, he must first attack Jinzhou, and once Jinzhou was surrounded, Ningyuan's soldiers could rescue Jinzhou, and in the same way, Ningyuan's soldiers could rescue Ningyuan. However, this qiē premise is based on the fact that the field combat ability of the Ming soldiers was equal to or greater than that of Jiannu. However, the battle of Liuhe proved that the field combat ability of the Ming soldiers was greatly weaker than that of Jiannu, and once Jinzhou and Ningyuan were besieged, they were isolated cities. And the defeat of Liuhe, Ma Shilong lightly opened the border provocation, angered the thief chief Nuer Haqi, the possibility of the conflict between the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu was greatly enhanced, and the Guanningjin defense line became an undefendable and irrevocable chicken rib. ”
"It is not possible for Jiannu to attack the Ming Dynasty, but it is imperative. It's September, and there's already a hint of chill, so you can expect this year's winter to be particularly cold. If the Ming Dynasty wants to survive the harsh winter, it must work hard and prepare enough grain and grass; And if Jiannu wants to survive the harsh winter, he must work hard to rob, rob grain and rob people. And the soldiers outside the border are so weak, thousands to hundreds, and they are so badly defeated. Daming is both rich and weak, if the slave Ha Chi doesn't rob Daming, who else can he rob? Sun Chengzong had sufficient grain and grass in Jinzhou, Youtun, Dalinghe City, and Juehua Island, and no matter which place he captured, the winter of Jiannu would be very comfortable. ”
Gao Di's face changed drastically, and he said, "This ...... What can I do? Do I really want to take Hedinghong to office? ”
"If you can't hold it, you will withdraw. Withdraw all the grain, grass, ordnance, and soldiers to the Shanhai Pass, and resist the attack of Jiannu with the strong fortress. The people of Liaodong have been killed by Jiannu, and when Sun Chengzong supervised Liaodong, I tried my best to prevent the imperial court from moving people to Liaodong, so now Liaodong is thousands of miles away without roosters. Jiannu couldn't find supplies along the way, and the old man was tired, so he would not dare to attack Shanhaiguan. ”
"But there are 400 miles of land outside the border, and if you abandon it, will the emperor say that I am afraid of the enemy like a tiger, lose power and humiliate the country, and dismiss me from my post?"
"Hehe, don't worry about this. Why didn't the emperor move people outside the border? It is to know the moisture in the land of these four hundred miles. Jiannu does not fight, the east of the Liao River is the land of the Ming Dynasty, and as soon as Jiannu comes, the east of the Liao River is full of beacon fires. Therefore, it is certain that you will be reprimanded by the emperor, but it is impossible to dismiss you. As long as you keep the grain, grass, and ordnance of Liaodong, Jiannu will be very sad this winter, and its strength will be greatly weakened, laying a solid foundation for the Ming Dynasty to recover Liaodong in the future. ”
Gao Di's heart moved, but Zhu Youcheng didn't have much say in the court after all, is his words credible?
Wei Zhongxian said with a smile: "Zhu Youcheng emerged in the Battle of Cangzhou, and his strategic vision and military command were revealed by the emperor, and his opinion is basically the emperor's opinion, which we can guarantee." And don't worry, our family in the court will speak for you, and you don't have to worry about the impeachment of those corrupt people. ”
Gao Di nodded and said, "Okay, the lower officials will leave early tomorrow morning and go to Liaodong to supervise their withdrawal." ”
Zhu Youcheng sneered: "If you want to die and go slowly, don't send it." ”
Gao Di was shocked and asked, "Why did Zhuang Yuanlang say this?" ”
"The generals of Liaodong are now in a big trend, 3oo taels of silver per year, how much profit can they share? Once he returns to Shanhaiguan, I am afraid that this military salary will not be very profitable. As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, if Gao Daren personally went to Jinzhou to supervise the withdrawal of troops, and accidentally made a salary incident, or 'Jiannu' raid, Gao Daren's bones were buried in the green mountains and green waters of Jinzhou, which is a beautiful thing. But if Lord Gao gave orders in the Guannai, those Liaodong warlords did not have the strength and determination to resist the imperial court, but they could smoothly complete the strategic task of fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness. ”
Gao Di's expression was solemn, he arched to the ground, and said: "Zhuangyuanlang is really insightful, and the old man is ashamed of himself." ”
Zhu Youcheng added: "The generals of Liaodong have their own ghosts, and I am afraid that there will be other behaviors that we do not expect. Tall, if there is an unexpected situation, please inform me quickly. ”
Gao Di looked at Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian nodded slightly, and Gao Di promised loudly. (To be continued!)
