Chapter 169: Unexpected
In the Spring Festival of the sixth year of Chongzhen, there is still some good news that the imperial court has gotten, the battle of Denglai is still ongoing, the imperial army has recovered Dengzhou, and is besieging Laizhou, it should be said that the time to take Laizhou will not be too long, of course, the most shocking news for the imperial court is that Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, was beheaded by Zheng Xunrui, the governor of Yansui, and almost all of his 15,000 rogues were annihilated.
The arrogance of the rogue can be said to have suffered a heavy blow, Zheng Xunrui's toughness, which shows that you must know that this young governor of Yansui is only nineteen years old.
Someone in the DPRK set up a government to let Zheng Xunrui be fully responsible for the extermination of the Liukou, that is, let Zheng Xunrui serve as the governor of the newly established five provinces, and now the Liukou's power has invaded Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Huguang and Sichuan and other places, Zheng Xunrui can command the troops in these places and make every effort to exterminate the Liukou.
However, this mention was vetoed, and as for why it was vetoed, no one knows the specific situation, and the relevant twists and turns involving Zheng Xunrui were all detained, and there was no news.
But another thing attracted the attention of the Chinese military minister of the DPRK, Zuo Yu Dewen Zhenmeng, who was promoted by a rocket, and became the Zuo Attendant of the Ministry of Ceremonies, concurrently serving as a scholar of the Dongge University, making him a prince and a counselor, and becoming an auxiliary minister of the Korean cabinet. You must know that from an official of the sixth rank to a court member of the second grade, such a speed is very rare in the court, and everyone of course understands that the bread here contains the credit of Zheng Xunrui.
Wen Zhenmeng became an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, which was recommended by Xu Guangqi, Xu Guangqi's health was already very poor, but after hearing that Zheng Xunrui had killed the rogue Gao Yingxiang, he actually got up and asked his family to hold a banquet to congratulate.
Zheng Xunrui is Xu Guangqi's student, Wen Zhenmeng is the grandfather of Zheng Xunrui's wife, such a relationship is indeed unusual, although Xu Guangqi is in poor health, he is still the second assistant of the cabinet, and he still has a deep trust in the emperor.
The things in the court are incomprehensible, since Zheng Xunrui has such an extraordinary ability, why can't he be reused, responsible for exterminating the Liukou, or responsible for the affairs of Liaodong, instead of reusing Zheng Xunrui, he promoted Wen Zhenmeng rocketly, which is obviously a recognition of Zheng Xunrui.
Just when everyone was speculating, Xu Guangqi, who came to the Qianqing Palace with a sickness, was summoned by the emperor alone.
"Xu **qing, how is your health lately?"
"The minister thanks the emperor for his concern, recently, I feel a little better, and I can eat a lot of food."
"In this way, I can rest assured, Xu **qing must take care of his body, I need your support."
"The minister must do his best, the Lord Wen recommended by the minister is reusable, and the emperor can use it with confidence."
"Don't talk about Wen **qing, I have received a lot of twists and turns recently, many of them are recommended to Zheng Xunrui, the governor of Yansui, I have always been a little hesitant, Zheng Xunrui is too young, at the age of nineteen, if he takes on the heavy responsibility of exterminating the rogue, can he bear it, there can be no mistake in this matter, this rogue's wanton is even more troublesome than the Denglai mutiny."
Zheng Xunrui went to Yan'an Mansion to serve as the prefect for only one year, and it was only a few months for him to serve as the governor of Yansui, and it was too frequent to adjust, and every time he adjusted, it took time to adapt, and the time to adapt was too long, I am afraid that it would be unfavorable to do things.
"I know, Xu **qing proposed to establish the post of governor of the five provinces, whether he recommended a candidate."
"The establishment of the post of governor of the five provinces is mainly due to the fact that the forces of the army to exterminate the Liukou are somewhat scattered, and the matter of exterminating the Liukou in Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places, the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou is in charge, and the extermination of the Liukou is powerful, but the Liukou dispersed the troops, and after entering Henan, Huguang and Sichuan, because there is no unified command, these places are fighting separately, and the Liukou has room for maneuver, and the minister estimates that the key direction of the Liukou's next step is Henan, so the establishment of the post of the governor of the five provinces is to coordinate the strength of the provinces, Unify and exterminate the rogues. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Guangqi gasped slightly.
"Xu **qing doesn't need to be in a hurry, just say it slowly."
"Someone in the court recommended Lord Hong Chengchou to be the governor of the five provinces, the minister thought it was inappropriate, since Lord Hong took office as the governor of the three sides, the extermination of the Liukou is powerful, he is familiar with the situation in Shaanxi and Shanxi and other places, at this moment to adjust, I am afraid that the defense force of Shaanxi and Shanxi is empty, and the Liukou take advantage of the weakness, as for Zheng Xunrui, the minister has just said that it is not suitable to serve as the governor of the five provinces, the governor's office of the five provinces is set up in Henan, the minister has thought for a long time, and recommended Chen Qiyu, the right imperial history, to serve as the governor of the five provinces, and Chen has served as the political envoy of Shaanxi, He is familiar with the situation of the Liukou who have been exterminated many times, and he has also made some contributions in the battle to exterminate the Liukou, and there is no problem in serving as the governor of the five provinces. ”
When he said this, Xu Guangqi's face became more and more pale.
Seeing such a situation, the emperor no longer asked, in his opinion, the general soldier Cao Wenzhao is good, but unfortunately Cao Wenzhao is a military general, it is impossible to serve as a civilian official, the governor of the five provinces must be a civilian official, Xu Guangqi recommended Chen Qiyu, is still good, once fought against the Liukou in Shaanxi, and won many victories.
But there is one more thing, he must consult Xu Guangqi's opinion.
"Liu Zeqing served as the chief soldier of Yulin and assisted Zheng Xunrui in managing the affairs of Yulin border town, I thought that the responsibility was heavy, and I should send the prison army to it, in the past, Yulin border town, because of famine, was dilapidated, I was very worried, but now the situation is different."
Xu Guangqi's expression quickly dimmed, and the emperor still couldn't trust any minister.
Zheng Xunrui in the letter, specifically mentioned the matter of supervising the army, thinking that Yulin border town is not suitable for sending the supervision army, first, Yulin border town is still in the process of recovery, the strength is actually weak, and second, the supervision army to Yulin border town, need to be familiar with the situation, but also to command the army, so the relationship is not easy to coordinate, there may be incidents in the middle, the third aspect, is also the most important aspect, Zheng Jiajun has been incorporated into the ranks of Yulin border town, if the supervision army meddles in the affairs of Zheng Jiajun, it will definitely cause contradictions.
Xu Guangqi knew what Zheng Xunrui meant, that is, he didn't want the imperial court to interfere too much, lest the good signs that had just appeared in Yulin Border Town would not exist in a short period of time, but unfortunately Zheng Xunrui didn't understand the emperor's heart, how could the emperor rest assured about the rising Yulin Border Town, and if he didn't send a prison army, he would be suspicious all the time.
Xu Guangqi is fully aware of the scourge of the prison army, but this involves the emperor's bottom line, and he will not directly oppose it.
Xu Guangqi's expression, the emperor noticed.
"Is Xu **qing against this matter, although it is said."
"The minister is not against it, but feels that this matter can be relieved, Yulin border town Yan'an Mansion and Qingyang Mansion and other places, many years of famine, most of the rogues are from these places, now Zheng Xunrui is trying to restore the stability of Yansui all over the country, there must be a lot of things, and it is mainly civilian, in this case, the time to send the supervision army is earlier, last year Zheng Xunrui wrote a twist, indicating that there are only 30,000 border troops in Yulin border town, and the previous 150,000 people are very different, what needs to be done at present, It is to recruit border troops, stabilize military households, and prevent people from being forced to defect to the rogue because of life, or mutiny, the 30,000 border troops in Yulin border town have greatly reduced the pressure on the imperial court, Zheng Xunrui can report truthfully, that is, there is a countermeasure, in this case, it is better to see what the effect is. ”
"Xu **qing is reasonable, I will think about this matter again."
After Xu Guangqi left, a trace of coldness shot out of the emperor's eyes.
Zheng Xunrui's Zheng family army, he is still a little worried, although the number is not large, less than 10,000 people, but after all, it is a strong army, defeated the rogue four times, and all of them have achieved great victories, Zheng Xunrui also bought a large number of war horses in the grassland, these are the meaning of expanding the army.
However, the emperor will not be suspicious and act casually, after all, there are not many strong armies in the imperial court, except for the Tieqi of Jiaoning, it will be counted as the Zheng family's army, and the rest of the army, the combat effectiveness cannot be compared with these two armies.
The reason why I wanted to send the supervising army to the border town of Yulin was to control the army, but what Xu Guangqi said was also reasonable, if the control was too much, the combat effectiveness of the army would decline, and even irreconcilable contradictions would appear, that would be more than worth the loss, after all, the pressure on Liaodong and Liukou was huge, and the imperial court needed a strong army.
As for Chen Qiyu's appointment as the governor of the five provinces, it should be said that it is feasible, Xu Guangqi is very calculating, and the recommended candidate will not be very bad, and Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, has also recommended Chen Qiyu.
Slowly standing up and pacing around, the emperor's face changed a lot, as if he was thinking about something important, and after a long time, he stopped.
The celebrant and eunuch Wang Chengen has already entered the Qianqing Palace.
"Wang Chengen, the celebrant and the supervisor drafted the decree, Zheng Xunrui, Bingqing Yujie, the governor of Yansui, established meritorious deeds, and killed Liu Kou Gao Yingxiang Shen Yikui Zhang Cunmeng and Wang Ziyong and others, should be rewarded, but his young should continue to sharpen, in order to show the reward, give his parents to live in the capital......"
The holy decree soon arrived in Jiangning County, and the Di newspaper also arrived in Yansui Town.
Zheng Fugui and Ma's Sun were extremely happy, they were able to be ordered by the emperor to live in the capital, it was a huge honor, and they couldn't ask for it, and there were a few people who could get such a holy decree, all because Zheng Xunrui established meritorious service and was rewarded by the imperial court, but Zheng Fugui was a little worried, that is, the matter of maize and sweet potato seeds, after thinking about it, he decided to let Zheng Kaihua go home and hand over the affairs of the family to Zheng Kaihua.
