Chapter 977: I want to fight this battle

Wang Tong said so frankly that he was willing to lead the troops to the battle, Emperor Wanli stared at Wang Tong for a long time without making a sound, in the imperial study, Tian Yi and Zou Yi both stopped their work, bowed their heads and hands, and did not dare to speak.

After being silent for a long time, Emperor Wanli closed the notebook in front of him and said in a deep voice:

"In that case, you take a charter and you will lead the troops to Liaozhen!"

Wang Tong solemnly agreed, the atmosphere in the imperial study was very strange, and there was no need to continue here, after saying this, Wang Tong bowed and bowed.

When he arrived at the door, he was about to turn around and leave, but Emperor Wanli stopped him again and asked:

"Wang Tong, do you really want to lead the troops to Liaozhen?"

"Your Majesty, the minister is sincere."

Emperor Wanli waved his hand and never spoke again.

There is a joke in Jingshi, saying that the rich people in Tianjin Wei and Jiangnan are all beautiful wives and concubines, and those who have less than ten wives and concubines dare not boast in front of outsiders, but Emperor Wanli is just a wife and a concubine, and this day is very hard.

Although the words are mean, what they say is similar to the real situation, Emperor Wanli and Empress Zheng are almost the days of a small couple, they are together all day, occasionally Concubine Li De will go once, and the rest of the concubines don't pay much attention at all.

After Emperor Wanli returned to the palace, he looked very tired, Empress Zheng waited for Wanli to wash and change clothes, and when she settled down, she asked softly:

"What's the emperor's trouble?"

"Tian Yi said that Wang Tong is unpredictable, uneasy about his current status, and wants to win greater achievements and be a reckless character, so he took the initiative to ask for orders to go to Liaozhen to seize military power and meritorious deeds!"

Empress Zheng also frowned, but then sat next to Emperor Wanli and said softly:

"Your Majesty, the concubine took the liberty to say a word, with Wang Tong's mental skills, if he really had this unpredictable ambition, I'm afraid he wouldn't have proposed it to the emperor so clearly, wouldn't it be a disaster for himself to do so, and Tian Yi could think of it, how could Wang Tong not think of it?"

Emperor Wanli took a sip of fruit wine, shook his head and said:

"That's what Zou Yi said, he said that Wang Tong knew that he might cause trouble if he said this, but because of his loyalty to me and his loyalty to Daming Sheji, he brought it up openly."

Empress Zheng pursed her lips and chuckled, and asked softly again:

"What does the emperor think?"

"There is such a thing in Liaozhen, but it makes me feel that what border town elite soldiers, what generals, are all fooling people, just like on the stage, the surface work is enough, and as soon as Wang Tong comes out, they have all become fake, but this time the situation in Liaozhen has deteriorated like this, and someone must be sent to clean it up, the most reassuring person for me is Wang Tong, he went, I can't really do what he said, completely calm the border troubles, and kill all the Tartars."

After a pause at this point, Empress Zheng took the fruit wine with interest, and brought another cup of tea, and Emperor Wanli continued:

"But what I am most worried about is Wang Tong, putting the soldiers in the hands of foreign ministers, even if there is no accident thousands of times, but if there is an accident, it is the catastrophe of the overthrow of Sheji."

Empress Zheng hesitated, and suggested softly:

"Your Majesty, Wang Tong led the troops several times before, all of them were special affairs, and there were no rules to rely on, but this time it was different, the emperor could handle it in accordance with the ancestral system, the ancestral system said that the civil ministers commanded the army, the military generals led the troops to fight, the internal officials supervised the army, and the tripartite mutual system, the emperor chose a reassuring civil minister to command, and reliable internal officials followed, isn't this reassuring?"

"The general meaning is that the regimental training on the side of the Naturalization City can be reorganized into two regiments, the local township Yong guards of Tianjin Wei can be reorganized into about three regiments, plus the two regiments of the Huwei Army itself, the troops under the Huwei military regulation can have six regiments, and then the merchant group armed and the city side of the Naturalization City can be used, there is no problem with 4,000 cavalry, Jizhen can produce 15,000 soldiers, how can Xuanfu also send 5,000, and the 2,000 cavalry on the Datong side can always be sent out."

When it got dark, Wang Tong, Lu Wancai, Li Wenyuan, and Yang Sichen were in their own study, and anyone could see that Wang Tong was very excited.

"Although Liaozhen was defeated, but the big city is still there, the hinterland is still in their own hands, the soldiers and horses everywhere only need to bear the grain and straw for this journey to Liaozhen, and the rest of Liaozhen's own storage can supply this expedition, naturally they will not be busy in vain, the wealth of Horqin and the Jurchens can be used as remuneration, the veterans can retire according to the rules in the naturalized city, and give them land, fields and even slaves, with these temptations, the generals and soldiers everywhere will definitely rush forward Mr. Yang, you now plan a post, Tomorrow, we will send someone to Tianjin Wei, and let the Sanjiang Craftsman's Workshop, Zhang Shiqiang, and Sun Dahai check the inventory, and first look at the storage of firearms, carts, and ammunition, after all, we will need to equip a few new regiments this time. ”

Yang Sichen and Lu Wancai on the side glanced at each other, got up and nodded in agreement, and directly spread out the paper and pen on the bookcase and began to write, the folding fan in Lu Wancai's hand was closed, knocked a few times on the palm of his hand, and said in a deep voice:

"Everyone here is not an outsider, Lu Mou's words will be spread out, the military is dangerous and don't say it, Brother Wang is a famous general in the world, this will definitely be a victory, but Brother Wang has thought about it, if this goes to defeat, the situation that has been run will disappear, if it wins, such a big achievement, how can Brother Wang deal with himself in the court and in the officialdom?"

Wang Tong put the draft of the Eastern Crusade Charter on the table, and listened to Lu Wancai's statement, his expression did not change much, and Lu Wancai said again:

"Brother Wang went north to naturalize, have you forgotten what treatment you will be treated after you come back? If you win this time, the merit is not inferior to naturalization, and if the two are combined, what title is there to reward, do you want to be crowned king? ”

Wang Tong shook his head with a smile, but said:

"I didn't expect Brother Lu to think so highly of me, and before the soldiers and horses moved, you already thought that I would definitely win a big victory if I went."

"Alas, Brother Wang, this is not the time to laugh, do you think that now Your Majesty and you are still in the Tiger Mighty Martial Arts Pavilion, it has long been gone, and now the Holy Judgment has decided, and there is no room for people like you around you, do you have to say it more clearly, you have already made great achievements, you must not go on like this again!"

The more Lu Wancai said, the more direct he became, he was already a little anxious, Yang Sichen put down the brush in his hand on the side, bowed down and said:

"Hou Ye, Lord Lu is right, Hou Ye will lead the army again this time, and the merits obtained are not only not beneficial, but have great risks, and I hope Hou Ye will be cautious!"

"Lord Wang, you also have a wife and children now."

After Yang Sichen finished speaking, Li Wenyuan, who had been silent on the side, said in a muffled voice, Wang Tong shook his head and asked:

"I have asked the Son of Heaven for an order, and now you are saying this, can this be denied?"

"What can't be shirked, Master Hou, you pretend to be sick, there are many ways to make a sudden serious illness, and your majesty will not blame it when the time comes, and it may not be possible to push the boat down the river!"

Lu Wancai said it crisply, Wang Tong lowered his head and muttered for a while, then raised his head and asked:

"If I hadn't gone and the others led the army to Liaozhen, what would have happened, would they have exterminated the Tartars? Will the Tartars be driven out of Liaozhen? ”

Unexpectedly, Wang Tong asked this question, everyone was silent for a while, the Huwei Army is indeed strong, but Li Hutou, Tan Bing and others led to the battlefield, whether they can play the record led by Wang Tong, no one can say, Lu Wancai and Yang Sichen can make such a judgment, Li Wenyuan did not favor his son, he opened his mouth and said:

"Right now, Li Chengliang has already suffered a defeat, without the spirit of commanding the troops, the rest of the towns are at most defended, and the people below can be generals, but they are not handsome, they may be able to win once or twice, but they can't fight in a big war."

Wang Tong nodded with a smile, hesitated for a while, organized the wording there, and said:

"The defeat of Liaozhen this time, tracing back to the source, was instigated by the official here, and it is the sin of Li Chengliang and the Li family that the situation is so corrupt, but the official does not clean it up, but allows it to develop for personal gains and losses, that is the great sin of the official, I'm sorry Your Majesty, I'm sorry for Daming, and I'm sorry for myself."

Hearing Wang Tong say this, Lu Wancai sighed but stopped talking, and Wang Tong said again:

"This time to send troops, the official also has his own reasons, but it has nothing to do with what position of power, the official is now rich in the world, the marquis worships the general, the wife and concubine, there is nothing missing, the official is loyal to the Son of Heaven, and he has nothing to think about, but he still has to lead the troops to pacify the Liao chaos."

Lu Wancai shook his head, sighed and said to Li Wenyuan beside him:

"Lao Li, both your side and my side have to think of a way to pass on the sentence that there is no 'non-dividing thought' to the top, which is more or less comprehensive."

Li Wenyuan nodded, and Wang Tong said with a smile:

"It seems that I can't spend Chinese New Year's Eve in Jingshi this year, I will go to Guanwai, you still have to help me inquire about the news of Jingshi, and you must also suppress the situation in Jingshi, so as not to give birth to any inexplicable chaos."

Lu Wancai smiled bitterly, arched his hand and said:

"This is natural, everyone can have today, it is all Brother Wang's support, everyone is one."

Wang Tong stretched out his hand and nodded at him, and said:

"You are too tired to live and think too much, this official is here to make a package ticket with you, it will be fine, rest assured!"

Hearing Wang Tong say this, several people in the room were stunned, and Lu Wancai shook his head and said:

"In the past, when I heard Brother Wang, you say this, my heart has also settled down, but this time there is still no bottom, or no bottom."

Wang Tong did not continue to persuade each other, went to fight the Jurchens outside the Guan, completely destroyed them, and completely annexed them, thinking of this, let Wang Tong's blood boil, no matter how shallow his historical knowledge was, Wang Tong also knew what the Manchu Qing had done in China, and how many years of darkness had been in China, how much the Han civilization lagged behind other civilizations, how hard it was to catch up, and what kind of price it spent, now, the opportunity to change all this is in front of his eyes, and he can change history!!!
