Chapter 0012: Bargaining with the Emperor
Zhu Youzhen unknowingly created a record, and he didn't know it himself!
Yuan Chonghuan knelt in front of the emperor like a dog waiting to eat meat, and with that humility, no one could see that this person dared to kill the frontier minister as soon as he took office! If Mao Wenlong is domineering, then Yuan Chonghuan, who dares to kill Mao Wenlong without a holy decree, should be even more domineering! Looking at this humble Yuan Chonghuan, Zhu Youzhen doesn't look like the Yuan Chonghuan he will know in the future! Looking at appearances, in fact, is the most inaccurate thing!
Just sent away the three eunuchs, and had to face this disgusting person, Zhu Youzhen's mood was even worse, but he was trying to suppress himself, he suddenly realized that being an emperor is actually the most painful thing in the world, whether it is a prosperous era or a troubled era, in fact, it is not much better! Unless it's like my grandfather and brother, I don't care about anything! But Zhu Youzhen believes that even if they don't care about anything, deep down, they will definitely not be happy! There should be no hope! At least, he believes that Zhu Youxiao is like this, and Zhu Youxiao has also been trying to do it for a short time, maybe it is hopeless for national affairs, or maybe he feels that his efforts have not been rewarded! But he soon became immersed in his carpentry world!
Time is like a sea of suffering! Life is like a bitter boat, there is no end, but you have to keep working hard! Behind the glamorous appearance, there are hardships that ordinary people can't understand! and depressed! Zhu Youzhen looked at Yuan Chonghuan and was very depressed!
Yuan Chonghuan saw that the emperor didn't say anything for a long time, and couldn't help but raise his eyes to take a look, and found that the young emperor was also looking at him, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head again, "Weichen Yuan Chonghuan is ordered to face the king." ”
Zhu Youzhen sneered, didn't speak, and opened a notebook, as if the person kneeling in front of him didn't exist.
Yuan Chonghuan's heart was very hot, but he didn't dare to move, he kept kneeling like this, for a man in his forties, kneeling for a long time is also a physical life! What the hell is the emperor going to do? At a young age, come with me? If you have the ability, don't use Lao Tzu!
"Yuan Chonghuan, I suddenly forgot to look for you something. Otherwise, you should step back first! "Even if Yuan Chonghuan knelt here and didn't speak, Emperor Chongzhen's heart was very uncomfortable! In the last life, I pressed the treasure on this guy! But what about this guy, he is proud of his merits, and he has no king! Decide for me everywhere! The general will not accept the order of the foreign monarch, I really think that I am the emperor of the soil! Do whatever you want at the border! Kill the feudal officials! Make peace with the golden people privately! So much so that rumors spread inside and outside the court, and the common people were willing to spend money to buy his meat after Yuan Chonghuan died! But in the end, history has laid all the sins on my head! Say I have eyes but no beads! Self-destruct the Great Wall! If Yuan Chonghuan doesn't die, what will happen to history!
If the matter is not clear, but based on the experience of Zhu Youzhen who lived the third life, even if Yuan Chonghuan does not kill, he keeps this guy, and in the end, the Ming Dynasty will also perish! Because the Ming Dynasty was overthrown by Li Zicheng! It was hollowed out by the Jiannu outside the Guanxi and the anti-democratic alliance in the interior, until the Ming Dynasty ceased to exist! Shanhaiguan is still there!
Yuan Chonghuan was shocked! He didn't expect that after kneeling for a long time, the emperor would say such a sentence? He knew that the matter of appointing the Liaodong Governor was imminent! The emperor is going to give up on himself! Then I will never have a chance again in my life! Thinking of this, I just feel as if my whole body has been drained of bone marrow! I'm going to sit down on the ground! He didn't know, was it because the posture he had just kneeled in was irregular? Immediately knelt straight! "Your Majesty! Weichen can pacify Liaodong in five years? ”
Zhu Youzhen didn't deliberately pretend! He's really disgusting this guy! Thinking about treating ministers, there is no need and no need to make a fuss, causing people to say that they have no measure at all!
But when he heard that Yuan Chonghuan was talking about this five-year pacification of Liaodong again, he was furious! Slammed the table hard, and the shock was flying all over the sky! "You pacify your mother for five years! Today, I have already said in the court that the slogan you put forward to pacify Liaodong in five years is to fool the people and mislead the officials, do you dare to say it again? I really don't know, how can you be a feudal official at your level!? ”
Yuan Chonghuan didn't expect that the emperor would swear to himself, but fortunately, he has been in the army for a long time! He was a little timid, thinking that he might lose the only chance in his life! Don't go, still kneel in front of the holy car! "Your Majesty! Weichen really has the ability to pacify Liaodong in five years! As long as you give Wechen absolute power, pour the country's manpower and material resources, and relieve Wechen of the problem of soldiers, horses, and salaries, Wechen guarantees that Liaodong will be pacified in five years! ”
Zhu Youzhen stood up angrily, "Shut up!" Giving the whole country its support to you? Then I can calm myself down! What is the use of asking you! With the strength of the whole country, the national strength has failed, and the displaced people have risen one after another! When the time comes, your Liaodong has not been pacified, and the Ming Dynasty has been dragged down by you! If you put forward this strategy, you are misleading the country and the people! You say, how many soldiers and horses are you going to raise? ”
Yuan Chonghuan is not afraid! "Wechen wants an army of 300,000! Let's work together! The enemy is coming, retreat on all fronts, and don't give Houjin a chance to take advantage of it! Wait until the enemy retreats! Let's attack as one, and we will definitely find a chance to break the enemy! Holy! ”
Yuan Chonghuan said triumphantly! In the last life, these few words made Zhu Youzhen happy! But how happy I was last time, how angry I am this time! If it weren't for Zhu Youzhen's more than 100 years of experience, he would have to draw his sword himself at this time! "Fart! 300,000 troops! The 300,000 army can't catch up with the Jiannu cavalry! Don't you understand military affairs? Yes, you have an army of 300,000, Guan Ningjin can be unbreakable! But if Huang Taiji does the same every time as he does this time, he will bypass it from three sides! What's the use of your heavy defensive line? Raising an army of 300,000 is equivalent to the country supporting 3 million people who do not work! On the one hand, the country has to support you with heavy troops, and on the other hand, you are constantly being built to the south! The displaced people of the Central Plains have taken the opportunity to make trouble again, and my country has been dragged down by your mediocre plan! ”
Yuan Chonghuan also let go at this time, "Your Majesty! Wealth and danger are sought! Now we only need to tighten our belts and pour the strength of the whole country to subdue Jiannu, and if we are afraid, we can let go and govern the country! Emperor! ”
Zhu Youzhen saw Yuan Chonghuan kneeling here, crying and screaming, it seemed that he didn't listen to him, it was the most wrong thing in the world, and he was angry and funny! In all fairness, if Yuan Chonghuan is allowed to go to modern times to engage in rumor~ sales! Eighty percent is a gold medal big senior! A thing without a shadow is said to be about to come true!
"There is no 300,000 army, the border army should be about 200,000 now, I decided to cut half, leaving 100,000 border troops to hold Guan Ningjin, do you have the ability, if you have it, you can do it, if not, I will find someone else!" Zhu Youzhen really didn't want to talk to this guy, so he dragged out his thoughts.
Yuan Chonghuan thought he had misheard, "Your Majesty! The 200,000 troops guarding the Guanning Jin are clumsy! Do you want to split another half of the men? No, Your Majesty! ”
Zhu Youzhen smiled, "Yes, this sentence, you don't have water, since you know that the 200,000 army is clumsy to defend the border, and your 300,000 army can pacify Liaodong, how did you come to the conclusion?" Can Liaodong be pacified in five years? When you are more than 100,000 Houjin cavalry, they are all paper paste? Wild ~ war, have you ever fought Jiannu? ”
Yuan Chonghuan was a little discouraged, he didn't expect the emperor's thinking to be so clear! He said uneasily, "Your Majesty, if the existing military system is left intact, Weichen is willing to ask for his life and guard the east gate of my Ming Dynasty!" ”
Zhu Youzhen shook his head, "One hundred thousand!" No jokes! Guan Ningjin left 100,000 elites! Aren't these soldiers a mutiny? The general's salary will be paid in full, and the person responsible for taking the lead in making trouble will be investigated and punished! Soldiers who participated in the mutiny will be terminated as mercenaries! Never Hiring! ”
Yuan Chonghuan still wanted to bargain, and his face made Zhu Youzhen even more angry, "Forget it, you don't have this ability!" Say goodbye to the old man and go home! ”
Yuan Chonghuan almost didn't cry, "Weichen is just forty years old?" Just say goodbye to the old and return home? Emperor! 100,000 is 100,000! Wechen asked the emperor to let Wechen go to pacify the Shanhaiguan mutiny! Weichen only needs 50,000 taels of silver! ”
Zhu Youzhen sighed, "As much as you should, the court must seek truth from facts, and the army must also seek truth from facts!" Leave behind the strongest soldiers! Soldiers' salaries, you go to Wang Chengen and allocate money to the border soldiers from my internal funds! ”
Yuan Chonghuan heard that the emperor still handed over the errand of Liaodong to himself, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there is an official to do, he will always be able to make meritorious contributions! When the time comes, you will know how unwise it is to despise Lord Ben today! "Weichen commands, please give me the Shangfang sword, so that Weichen can uniformly restrain the entire line of Jiliao!"
Zhu Youzhen sneered, forcibly suppressing his anger, "You think too much, you are a Liaodong Governor, just take care of Guan Ningjin's defense line, what kind of Shang Fang sword do you want?" Inspector Sun behind you, don't worry about it, and Mao Wenlong from Phi Dao, you don't have to worry about it! ”
Yuan Chonghuan was very unwilling, "That minister is still not the governor of Liaodong!" If we can't restrain the army on Phi Dao, the power of our Guanningjin defense line will be greatly reduced! Moreover, the Northwest Great Wall and Shanhaiguan are all connected, only one control! In order to be able to ensure the safety of my Ming border! This has been practiced in the previous dynasty! Segmented defense is definitely not as good as integrated defense! ”
Zhu Youzhen nodded, "Since you think so, then you should tell the old man and return to his hometown, your concept is different from mine!" The Ming Dynasty can do without you Yuan Chonghuan, but it can't do without me, go out, I still have official business! ”
Yuan Chonghuan slammed his head three times, "Your Majesty!" ”
"Get out!"
"Your Majesty, otherwise, the supply line of Phi Island will be handed over to Wei Chen, and the food and salary issued by the imperial court to Phi Island will go through Wei Chen first, and then be sent to Mao Wenlong, this is okay, right? Otherwise, if he grows big overseas and does not obey the constraints of the imperial court, it is not okay? Weichen and Mao Wenlong have no personal grudges at all! This is all for the sake of my Ming dynasty! Emperor! ”
"Get out!"
Yuan Chonghuan sighed, "Your Majesty, you can do what you say, and all the ministers will obey the order, just to be able to make contributions to the country!" ”
"Get out! If you don't go out, I'll get out! Emperor Chongzhen put his hands behind him with a straight face, and walked out of the study quickly.
"Your Majesty!"
"Quick, this man has passed out!"
Emperor Chongzhen came out of the study and heard a commotion from the eunuch behind him, which was even more disgusting to this Yuan Chonghuan! Do whatever you want, why bargain? Bargaining with the emperor, do you really think you are a character?
