574 North-South Gallop Report (7)
At the end of Zhu Cihong's rest time, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War had already made a new proposal: to take Gu Junen's governor Yungui and Liu Zongmin as the commanders in charge of Yunnan, and to hang the seal of the southern general.
Gu Junen is not bad, he can go to Guizhou to perform his duties first, and Liu Zongmin is more troublesome, because Zhang Xianzhong gave up Guizhou in August of the twentieth year of Chongzhen and entered Yunnan. Now Yunnan is also in chaos, there are Ming army guards, there are Qianguo Gong Mu's family, there are all kinds of Tusi chaos undecided, plus Zhang Xianzhong is wandering around, there is really no room for him, the general of the expedition to the south.
Since Zhu Cihong did not want to eradicate the loyalty camp, he naturally would not let the loyalty camp go to Yunnan to die. In order to ensure combat effectiveness, the plan for the expansion of the mountain division was submitted to the military department by the Metropolitan Governor's Office. At the same time, the loyal battalion was reorganized as the main force, and another Sichuan army was built with the Sichuan people as the mainstay.
If the work of Jinyiwei is in place, Zhang Xianzhong can die unexpectedly, and the four Donkey Kongs under him can be corrected, then the Xiying will also be reorganized into the main army, so that the three armies of nearly 100,000 people will attack Burma and completely quell the rebellion in the southwest is an ironclad matter.
Wu Fu returned to the first auxiliary room, froze on the chair for a moment, and pulled the bell to let the outside people in. This Sheren is his newly admitted protégé, and it can be seen from the article that this son is quite open-minded, and after seeing him twice, he also found that he has an extraordinary conversation, and he is also similar to himself in political affairs, so he deliberately cultivated, and asked him not to enter the Hanlin Academy to take the examination of Shu Jishi, but to take the "new learning" examination, and take the road of politics in the East Palace system.
Wang Xuan pushed the door in, turned around and closed the door, stepped forward and said, "Teacher." ”
Wu Fu frowned slightly: "Be cautious." ”
Wang Xuan bowed slightly, indicating that he knew his mistake. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like protégés, the same year and the like, and he and his mentor Wu Fu are probably the most traditional masters and apprentices of the later generation in the past 20 years. Sun Chuanting is an alternative in the officialdom, and he may not be willing to promote his protégé when he becomes a second assistant. After that, Jiang Dejing may be retro, but it will be at least twenty years before Jiang Ge ascends to the position of first assistant.
"What did you see today?" Wu Fu asked.
Although Wang Xuan is a seven-grade person. But anyone can enter the lounge, but everyone doesn't dare to go in to listen when they see the crown prince inside. Wu Fu would often find an excuse to let Wang Xuan in, and then let him sit in the corner, with only eyes and ears, never attracting attention.
"Your Highness is far-sighted. It's amazing. Wang Xuan said.
Wu Fu smiled and said, "What do you think?" ”
"The students thought that His Royal Highness passed through the heart of the northwest, and he was about to make the tiger general, sweeping the past with a thunderous force." Wang Xuan paused, and then said: "As for the southwest, most of them are to pay equal attention to suppression and appeasement, supplemented by interspersal strategies, so they ordered Liu Zongmin and Gu Junen to go." The two of them are eager to get merit. We will certainly not worry about criticism from the DPRK and China. ”
Wu Fu nodded as if he didn't know: "It's not bad to have such knowledge." You should be able to see that the path to the pavilion has been sealed. Wang Xuan bowed slightly, knowing that this was also the reason why the teacher did not let him enter the Hanlin Academy. In the future, most of the Ming Dynasty's Zaifu will follow the system of the Two Song Dynasty, and it is necessary to have the resume of the governor's place. Wu Fu said, pointing to the offices of several new pavilion elders.
Wang Xuan naturally understood.
"You've been in the center for so long, haven't you thought about going out for a walk?" Wu Fu asked.
"But it's up to the teacher." Wang Xuan hurriedly bowed.
Wu Fu shook his head: "This matter depends on your own ambitions. The greater the ambition, the heavier the grinding. ”
Wang Xuan gritted his teeth. Secretly said: The old gentleman is a protégé who I am dedicated to cultivating, if my ambitions are small. Is it worthy of this cultivation? He immediately said: "The students take the ambition of helping the people through the world, and they are willing to dominate the world, to the king, to the king, and then to make the people pure." ”
Wu Fu smiled: "Then you should know where Lu Dao is going." ”
"Students understand." Wang Xuan bit the tip of his tongue: "The student will submit to the scribe department today, please go to Zhiyizhou County, Yunnan." ”
Wu Fu sat forward and said with a smile: "You still want to dominate the world." But I can't even see the world clearly. ”
"Please ask the teacher for advice." Wang Xuan was stunned.
"If you go to the northwest, you will probably become the Ban clan of the Western Han Dynasty in twenty years; If you go to Yunnan, you will only be a superintendent for life. Wu Fu shook his head and said: "None of them are ways to enter the cabinet and govern." ”
Wang Xuan listened to Wu Fu quietly and did not dare to interrupt.
Wu Fu paused, and then said, "You should go to Liangguang." ”
"Liangguang?" Wang Xuan was quite surprised.
"Burmese Tusi is always rebellious. It's not just because of the treacherous people in the area. Wu Fu said: "More than half of Yunnan is wrapped in unreliable toast from Myanmar and Laos. When the country is strong, the toasts dare not move, and once they are weak, they all have different intentions and are hindered on all sides. Now that the country's strength has not yet recovered, and there are western thieves flowing to Yunnan, we should not expect Myanmar to make achievements in ten years. ”
On the other hand, only the southwest corner of Liangguang borders Annam. At present, Annam is at a time when the north and the south are fighting, and the national strength is exhausted, and our dynasty is buying more and more rice and grain from Annam every year, and one day it will force the people of Annam to run out of food. So...... It is better to fight late than to fight early, and it is better to win quickly than to fetters . Wu Fu stretched out his hand and drew a rough figure in the air: "Defeat Annam, seize this granary that is no less than Huguang, from east to west, subdue Tusi and Siam in the middle, relieve the border troubles in Yunnan, and then join forces with Yunnan to attack Burma, and the southwest will be naturally pacified." ”
- Annan is the breakthrough of the chaos in the southwest!
Wang Xuan drew a map in his heart, listened to the explanation of the master, and became clear.
"This is to focus on the big picture, and the bystanders are clear." Wu Fu finished speaking: "Do you understand? ”
With the pacification of the outer lands, at least a governor could not escape. Now Wang Xuan is only in his early twenties, and ten years later he will become the governor of the year, as long as there is no accident in his office, he will definitely be able to return to the central court at the age of forty to serve as a hall at the level of the ministry and temple. Fifty into the cabinet, it can be described as smooth sailing, merit and success.
"If you go to Liangguang now, I'm afraid you can only know one state and county." Wu Fu said: "If you want to make political achievements, you must choose the right place. Although Guangdong and Guangxi are bordered by Annan, especially Guangxi, there are wolf soldiers available, but it is still recommended that you go to Guangdong for the division. ”
"Students should follow the teacher's instructions."
Wu Fu also didn't show off his mysteries: "Yue Governor Shen Youlong is a strong person, even if you provoke him well, you can help you carry it down." If you choose Qinzhou, it is close to the South China Sea, and there is Wulei Mountain in the sea, which is the main road into Annam, and it is the place where you can operate. He raised his eyes and glanced at Wang Xuan: "Alas, the current scholars have the heart to enter the cabinet, but they don't even read Fang Zhi!" ”
"Students are ashamed." Wang Xuan only felt that his cheeks were hot, and said, "The student will go to the clerical department." ”
Wu Fu nodded.
Naturally, the sooner this kind of thing happens, the better, otherwise it is difficult to say whether an important place like Qinzhou can be his turn. Fortunately, now that there is a vacancy in the secretary of the ministry, the cabinet can also appropriately "guide" the ministry. For example, the biggest official voice today is Huang Daozhou, and even His Majesty the Emperor has the intention of loosening his mouth, all because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is pressing.
If Huang Daozhou is appointed as a heavenly official, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to employ people in the future.
……
"People say that Zodiac Zhou is a perfect generation, and there are saints in the world, how can there be perfect people in this world?" Zhu Cihong said to Chongzhen: "My father wants to use Huang Daozhou, most likely to prevent his sons from being unfilial, right?" ”
Huang Daozhou was demoted, purely because there was a problem with the way he spoke to the emperor. Chongzhen's character can't stand others confronting him in person. In the same way, he may not be angry when written in the song, but he is scolded for being loyal and treacherous, which makes him sad too much. Especially for a Confucian with a high reputation like Huang Daozhou, Chongzhen is actually very entangled in his heart, and he has used it no less than three times.
Chongzhen was relieved to hear his son say this, and said: "I don't believe that Huang Daozhou is a perfect person." However, Zodiac Zhou can resist Yan and give direct advice, which can be compared to Wei Zheng of Tang and Hai Rui. ”
"What my father said is," Zhu Cihong said, "but he is stubborn and does not know how to be flexible, and he is really not suitable for the position of a heavenly official." Tianguan still has to be a wise elder like Mr. Li who is round on the outside and square on the inside. ”
"Who do you think I can do this?" Chongzhen was in a better mood when he saw that his son was not worried about his face and refused to use Zodiac Zhou. This is undoubtedly to prove that he was right to dismiss Zodiac Zhou, because his son also sees it this way...... Well, it seems wrong.
"Erchen thinks that Xie Xuelong may be up to the task." Zhu Cihong said.
- Sure enough, it's not about my feelings.
Chongzhen sighed in his heart.
Xie Xuelong and Zodiac Zhou are together to some extent.
In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Xie Xuelong wanted to step down from the governor of Jiangxi, and was promoted to the head of the Nanjing Military Department, and as usual, he had to recommend the officials of the province. At that time, Huang Daozhou defended in front of the monarch because of Yang Sichang's matter, and was demoted to Jiangxi. Xie Xuelong recommended him for the first place, and praised him for "being as light as a leaf and as heavy as a mountain".
Yang Sichang was furious and accused him of "party protection".
Emperor Chongzhen obeyed Yang Sichang's words at that time, and he was even more angry, and ordered Xie Xuelong and Huang Daozhou to be arrested, with eighty rods, cut down his nationality and imprisoned, and sent to prison.
In the autumn of the fifteenth year, Huang Daozhou had been pardoned, and Xie Xuelong was still in sin.
"Erchen looks at Xuelong's recitals back then, this person is loyal and honest or reliable." Zhu Cihong said: "In Jiangxi, he can also defend the land and destroy thieves and raise the people, which shows that he is a true gentleman with righteousness." It is commendable, Xie Xuelong realized in the apocalypse that the officials were in ruin, and he was excited, and now the old minister is rare, and the son thinks he can give it a try. ”
Chongzhen has begun to burn out of state affairs, especially now in military warfare, official governance, etiquette, and commerce...... The multi-pronged approach is like a mess, so he can't figure it out at all, and he loses sight of one or the other. And with so many things, the time in the day is limited, and it can't be arranged at all, so it's a blessing to have a son like the crown prince to take on the heavy responsibility.
"Just do as you say." After Chongzhen finished speaking, he immediately pointed to his grandson Qiuguan who was in the arms of the nursing mother on the side: "The feeling of licking the calf is understandable, but you don't leave Qiuguan an inch, are you a little too doting?" ”
"Father, this is the so-called early education of the sons." Zhu Cihong said: "Don't look at him closing his eyes and ears, in fact, he can still feel what the people around him are talking about unconsciously." ”
Chongzhen was surprised, and secretly worried in his heart: Could it be that you can still remember what happened in your infancy? No wonder I didn't kiss adults, because I didn't hug you much with your mother at that time? (To be continued......)
