Chapter 310: A Turnaround
Until the Battle of Songshan in the last year of Chongzhen, Jiannu was under the two fortified cities of Jinzhou and Ningyuan, and he tried his best to make no inch.
The subtext of Zhang Li's words is already obvious, there are Hongyi cannons guarding the city, and Ningyuan City and Jinzhou City of Guangningwei are quite safe.
In fact, to put it more bluntly, Nima has cannons anyway, who is guarding the city or not?
Zhang Zhang looked at Zhou Yanru indifferently, only to see him bow his head and ponder, obviously pondering what he had just said.
Zhang Zhang knew that he was gambling-
gambled on this Zhou Yanru, who was a traitor in the history of the Ming Dynasty, for his own selfish interests of "comeback", he did not care about the safety of the country at all.
Even if he said it wildly, there was a big loophole in his words, that is, why did Zhou Yanru believe that he could hold Liaodong?
A hairy boy who is less than twenty years old dares to compare with the longevity of the ancestor of the Liaoxi General?
Although Zu Dashou is a little domineering, he still has a few brushes, not to mention anything else, the prestige in Liaodong alone is unmatched!
But-
None of this is the point!
Even if Liaodong loses a fine light, Shanhaiguan is the first pass in the world, and the Tartars will definitely not be able to surpass half a step!
The point of Zhou Yanru's concern is, what are the benefits if he supports Zhang Li?
Or how can tension connect Liaodong to his resurgence?
Since Zhang Zhang dared to take the liberty to visit, he naturally calculated all this.
Zhang Zhang gritted his teeth and said: "Master Zhou, how did the student be calculated by Wen Tiren's old thief, I think your old man has also heard of it." In the previous Baohe Palace, the old thief Wen and the students also had a common hatred......"
The more Zhou Yanru listened, the more relieved he became, and he couldn't stop holding his beard and nodding slightly.
The so-called peace of mind is a political stance. Oh, yes. The festival between tension and Wen Tiren can't be unraveled.
Isn't the enemy of my enemies friends friends?
This so-called "officialdom friend" had a professional term in ancient times, called "friend party" -- for example, Zhou Yanru's Donglin Party and Wen Tiren's Zhejiang Party. has already been the ancient Wei Gonggong original "eunuch party......
In officialdom, this is a more reliable relationship than one's own father and mother!
Zhang Li's words were only halfway through, and he smiled slightly and fell silent.
At this point, Zhou Yanru doesn't need to ask himself if he understands military affairs, whether he can defend Liaodong, and whether he can prevent Jiannu!
I'm afraid that in Zhou Yanru's heart, even if he is a pig, as long as he is an obedient and obedient "Donglin pig". There's nothing wrong with going to defend Liaodong - there's a Hongyi cannon!
The Donglin Party has always been like this!
If it is explained that there is still one person to do the affairs of Liaodong at the end of the year, that person must not be Yuan Dudu, nor is he the "emperor" Sun Chengzong, but the former Liaodong Jingluo Xiong Tingbi, who gave Nuer Hachi so angry that he was nicknamed "Xiong Manzi".
It's a pity that Xiong Tingbi is not a member of the Donglin Party, and he is still very strong.
Well, if a civil official can get a "tough" comment, it also shows that this "bear child" is too ignorant.
Yes, Xiong Tingbi has a very bad temper. He has always refused to suffer losses, and his relationship with colleagues is very poor. When something happens, he scolds, no matter who it is, even if it is the secretary of the military department, he will scold correctly.
Therefore, it is natural to offend his immediate boss, the Donglin Party.
As a result, the cabinet of the Donglin Party decided to remove Xiong Tingbi. Send another person to replace him, this person is also a member of the Donglin Party, and his name is Yuan Yingtai.
Yuan Yingtai is a good official and an outstanding water conservancy expert, so to speak. In the Donglin Party, he is very good, but there is one thing he can't do, and that is to fight......
After Yuan Yingtai took office, he changed Xiong Tingbi's previous practice and put a large number of Mongolian refugees outside the city into the city.
As a result, a month later, Nurhachi led his troops to attack, the Shenyang defender He Shixian desperately resisted, at the critical moment, those Mongolian exiles who were appeased began to show their true colors, they wantonly destroyed the city, attacked the defenders, and the Houjin army should be combined with the outside, He Shixian died in battle, tens of thousands of troops were annihilated, and Shenyang fell.
It seems that many of the cities conquered by Nurhachi in Liaodi outside the pass relied on this method of infiltrating spies.
It seems that it was not Nurhachi who attacked the city - in fact, if the defenders actively resisted, the cost of conquering a tall city without artillery was considerable, and the population of the Jin Kingdom in the era of wild boar skin could not be consumed at all, but the Ming generals or commanders of the Ming army were stupid and repeatedly let spies into the city to cooperate with the outside world.
When Zhang Li thought of this, he couldn't help but feel happy, Nima water conservancy experts can go to Liaodong, what is wrong with himself, a literati who almost became a "royal poet"?
Well, there is another point, the Mongolian Tartars captured by their own Tuanshan Fort will all enter the Iron Mountain Fort to mine and be reformed through labor!
If you don't transform the Mongolian Tartar, Yuan Yingtai dares to use it, but Young Master Ben doesn't dare - Young Master Ben still wants to live for two more years!
As for Chaolu and others, they are mixed-race children, and they are usually not allowed to be accepted by Mongolian tribes, and they are fundamentally different from Mongolian Tatars. As long as they are carefully screened, people like Chaolu can still be used......
"Zhang Li, just say it, what are you going to do?"
After Zhou Yanru pondered for a long time, he still didn't figure out how Zhang Li planned to connect Liaodong with his reinstatement, so he simply asked directly.
Zhang Li hurriedly gathered his thoughts and said in a deep voice: "Lord Zhou, the student heard that Zu Dashou was also very close to the gentlemen of Donglin before...... However, your old man was just frustrated for a while, and the old man turned around and took refuge in the old thief Wen! It's really shameless to the extreme, phew! Zu Dashou is a two-faced and three-faced person! ”
The tension began to circle again, and Zhou Yanru obviously ate this set, and his face immediately turned cold.
Zhou Yanru looked disdainful, and coldly burst out a sentence: "That ancestor Dashou is just a vulgar martial artist, and the old man was blind before!" ”
Zhang Zhang had a disapproving expression, and hurriedly continued: "Lord Zhou is wise! When the students were patrolling Ningyuan before, they were ordered to train a regimental mountain army. Now the mountain army only listens to the orders of the students, and the students are unwilling to join the crowd with Zu Dashou and others, so they were framed by the old thief Wen! At present, there is a big opportunity in Liaodong, as long as Lord Zhou grasps it, then it is a sure thing to be reinstated and re-enter the cabinet! ”
Zhou Yanru couldn't help but be slightly surprised: "Liaodong has a chance?" What are the chances? ”
Zhang Zhang glanced at Zhou Yanru meaningfully, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Zhou, the students received the news that Jiannu actually sent an army of more than 10,000 people to be stationed under the city of Guangning, and it has been half a month now. Jiannu does not attack the city, and the old horseman of Zu Dashou does not go out of the city to fight......"
"What?!" Zhou Yanru suddenly exclaimed, and the whole person trembled a little.
Not scared, but - shocked!
Zhang Zhang naturally stopped talking, and he had to leave enough time for Lord Zhou's brain to make up!
This is your own killer feature!
Jiannu sent troops in the winter, precisely to contain Zu Dashou and prevent Zu Dashou from "quelling the rebellion".
But the purpose of this military action was unknown to the imperial court, and in the eyes of the imperial court, Jiannu's movements were too weird!
First of all, Jiannu has never had a precedent for sending troops in winter, and sending troops in winter will not cause any "surprise attack" -- the Guangning city wall is four stories high in later generations, and it is still extremely slippery in winter.
Moreover, despite the bitter cold wind, the Jiannu army set up camp outside the city of Quang Ninh, and lived peacefully with the general army of Zu Dashou Zu a few miles apart......
Well, live in peace!
This Nima, there is a conspiracy!
What is Jiannu doing?
Could it be that Zu Dashou and Jiannu had negotiated privately, or that Zu Dashou's offer was too high, and Jiannu ran to Guangning City to intimidate him by force?
Even if this possibility is only one percent, it is enough to make the imperial court, ah, no, make Chongzhen sleep!
With Chongzhen's suspicious temperament, there must be much more content than tension in the brain.
But isn't it, wasn't Yuan Dudu executed by Ling Chi by Chongzhen's brain to make up the "collusion with the Tartars"?
The history of this person is controversial, and he may have such and such problems, but if he is against the Ming and licks the Qing, it is really something that only Chongzhen can make up for - Yuan Dudu is dead and blind!
After all, before Yuan Dudu died, he led a large army to the king of Beijing who was surrounded by Tartars......
Zhang Zhang reined in his thoughts and said lightly: "Master Zhou, the students will wait and see what happens next-"
Zhou Yanru has already calculated clearly in his heart at this moment, this is definitely a good opportunity to hit Wen Tiren!
If it is said that Zu Dashou and the Tartar have an affair, I am afraid it is not very true and credible, but as long as the emperor is suspicious, then Wen Tiren must have a hard time.
You see, when Lord Zhou presided over the government, this kind of thing did not happen, and as soon as Lord Wen was in charge, strange things happened......
Chongzhen pays the most attention to the art of balance, if the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty want to say that they are highly respected and can compete with Wen Tiren, it still depends on Zhou Yanru and Lord Zhou!
Zhou Yanru smiled and said: "Zhang Li, you have such a mind at a young age, I'm afraid he won't be under the old man!" ”
After a pause, Zhou Yanru thought a little about "loving talents", and said loudly: "Zhang Li, if you stay in Beijing, the old man will ensure that your official fortune will be prosperous and prosperous!" ”
Tension is in a daze, hehe, here it is!
This Nima Donglin Party leader speaks unusually, and the painting is quite tempting!
Master Jing, this young master must stay, but-
"The teacher is above, please bow to the students!"
Zhang Zhang bowed to Zhou Yanru for the first time, and after a few thoughtful salutes, Zhang Zhang said word by word: "The student is willing to be responsible for the affairs of Liaodong until the Wen thief is completely defeated!" ”
Zhang Zhang used to be a "Lord Zhou", but in fact, Zhou Yanru is now an official and deserves the title of "adult" - this can only show that Zhang Li thinks that Zhou Yanru is still an official.
And now this "seat teacher" makes Zhou Yanru feel extremely comfortable and relieved.
The relationship between teachers and students, the most important relationship in officialdom!
Zhou Yanru was slightly stunned, glanced at Zhang Zhang suspiciously, and said lightly: "With your background as a Tanhua, do you have no intention of joining the cabinet and becoming an auxiliary minister in the future?" (To be continued.) )
