Chapter 351: Discord [Three Watches]
(
The county seat of Wu'an County, a wing room in the backyard of the county government.
Li Yuntian sat on the Taishi chair with his eyes closed and rested, and the Taishi chair swayed back and forth, making a slight creaking sound.
After entering the city, Zhang Zhixian of Wu'an County diligently vacated the backyard of the county government to Li Yuntian, since the Han King occupied Wu'an County, Zhang Zhixian was imprisoned for refusing to recognize the Han King, and the Han King's people sent a Xinzhi County to replace him.
Since the rebels defending the city fled, the Xinzhi County naturally followed suit, and Zhang Zhixian was released by the jailers to welcome Li Yuntian into the city.
Li Yuntian is the imperial history of the imperial court, a popular man before Emperor Xuande, and now he is serving as the governor of Shandong, Zhang Zhixian naturally has to serve well.
"My lord, the situation has been clarified, the rebels have 40,000 people in De'an County, and the defender of the city is still the bandit leader Lu Ping." Soon after, the door of the wing room opened, and an instructor from the martial arts hall walked in and said in a deep voice.
"Forty thousand!" Li Yuntian couldn't help but open his eyes when he heard this, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, in his opinion, the Han King had released too many rebels in De'an County.
The city defense of the county seat of De'an County is far less than that of Dezhou City, this time Zhang Hao led the counterinsurgency army to come violently, if it is replaced by Li Yuntian, the rebels will be withdrawn from De'an County to Dezhou City, relying on the city defense of Dezhou City to consume the Ming army.
As long as they survive November, when the heavy snow arrives, the Ming army will have to retreat, otherwise they will have to camp in the ice and snow. [34815671 Ruling Da Ming Zhi Da Ming] 348 Ruling Da Ming 351
But the king of Han did the opposite this time, and actually laid 40,000 rebels in the county seat of De'an County, and put on a posture of a decisive battle with the Ming army, which is really a bit strange, and it is clear that the 40,000 rebels were put to death.
As for saying that the King of Han wanted to take advantage of the Ming army's siege to attack the Ming army inside and outside with Lu Ping, Li Yuntian felt that Zhang Hao would never give the King of Han this opportunity, and he must be ready for battle, as long as the King of Han dared to come to the rescue of the rebels in De'an County, then he would definitely fall into a bloody battle, which was exactly in line with Zhang Hao's intentions.
However, the King of Han is good at using soldiers, why did he put Lu Ping in the county seat of De'an, Li Yuntian couldn't guess his intentions for a while, could it be that the King of Han was too arrogant and didn't take Zhang Hao in his eyes?
Li Yuntian felt a faint trace of inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, with his understanding of the King of Han, the King of Han would never let Lu Ping's rebels go to death in vain, there must be some unknown secret in this.
"My lord, the king of Han has sent a messenger." Just when Li Yuntian was secretly pondering the intention of King Han to place heavy troops in De'an County, a personal guard entered the door to tell him.
"Inform the royal governor and the thousands of households, and let them come to the lobby quickly!" Li Yuntian's brows furrowed slightly, and then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, got up from the recliner, and said a deep word to the guard.
At this time, it was an extraordinary period when the two armies were fighting, and the King of Han would definitely not send people to catch up with him, but to "persuade him to surrender", the purpose must be to play a discordant plan and divide the relationship between him and Emperor Xuande.
Therefore, Li Yuntian prepared to "receive" the envoy of the King of Han in the hall of the palace, and summoned his subordinates, putting on a business-like style, not giving the King of Han the slightest loophole to exploit.
Wang Dudu's name is Wang Jian, who is the governor of the Gyeonggi Governor's Office, Zhou Zheng's old subordinate, who originally served under the account of Xue Lu in Jinan City, was transferred by Li Yuntian last month along with the 5,000 Jinan City reinforcements.
It is worth mentioning that the generals who can be called governors do not only refer to the left and right governors of each prefecture, but also include the governors of each prefecture, the governor and the governor, as well as the commanders of each prefecture.
Li Yuntian sent Wang Jian to come naturally to strengthen the garrison of Qingzhou City, for example, compared with Jinan City, which had strong city defenses, Qingzhou City was more vulnerable to the attack of the Han King.
Following Li Yuntian's order, countless sergeants with weapons in their hands and armor poured into the compound of the county government of Wu'an County, and stood in formation in the courtyard, silent and the atmosphere was gloomy.
Wang Jian led the thousands of households in the city to enter from outside the courtyard, and sat down on the seats on both sides of the lobby, Wang Jian sat on the right side of the lobby, and Zhang Zhixian of Wu'an County sat on the opposite left.
"Your Excellency!" When Li Yuntian led Li Daniu into the lobby, everyone in the hall hurriedly got up and bowed to him with a respectful attitude.
Since Li Yuntian captured Qingzhou City, annihilated the rebel Chen Lang at Heihugou, and defeated the rebel Yang Yongbu in Donglin County, the three major battles have brought his prestige in the army to a new height. [34815671 Ruling Da Ming Zhi Da Ming] 348 Ruling Da Ming 351
In particular, the Xiaowu Army formed by Li Yuntian was even more preoccupied with Li Yuntian.
When Li Yuntian went to Jinan City as a governor, no one could have imagined that he would win three battles in Qingzhou at a young age, not only driving the rebels out of Qingzhou, but also recovering Dengzhou and Laizhou, making the rebels lose half of their territory, making great achievements, and then reversing the unfavorable situation of the Ming army in Shandong in one fell swoop.
Li Daniu came to Qingzhou City on the same day as Wang Jian, he was originally in Jingzhou City, Li Yuntian felt that he couldn't make military exploits if he stayed there, so he was specially transferred.
Like Li Manshan, Li Daniu has now been promoted to a deputy Qianhu of the Gyeonggi Governor's Office, and is the military attache of the Ming Dynasty's Cong Wupin, and Zhang Hao deliberately promoted his position and rank after taking over as the Grand Governor of the Gyeonggi Governor's Office.
Li Yuntian sat down behind the table in front of the lobby, Li Manshan stood behind him with a cold expression, holding the handle of the waist knife in his right hand, and his more than two years of military career had made him complete the transformation from a civilian to a soldier.
"Bring the rebels to the court!" After groaning for a while, Li Yuntian shouted at the sergeant standing at the entrance of the lobby with an expressionless face.
When the sergeant heard this, he bowed his hand to Li Yuntian and walked quickly towards the courtyard gate.
Soon, a middle-aged man wearing a three-rank civilian official robe walked into the courtyard gate with the sergeant, and saw that the courtyard was full of murderous soldiers waiting in formation, and his face couldn't help but change slightly, and he felt that something was wrong.
"Yang Yun, the left attendant of this official department, has seen Li Yushi." Under the gaze of everyone, the middle-aged man walked into the lobby, stood in front of the hall and said to Li Yuntian.
"The left squire of the ministry?" Li Yuntian's brows furrowed slightly, and he said quietly, "In the impression of this official, the left waiter of the official department does not seem to be surnamed Yang!" ”
"The official is a traitor of the Ming Dynasty, and most of the officials of the Ministry are his henchmen, and this official is temporarily appointed as the left servant of the Ministry of Officials by the order of the King of Han, and after the removal of these traitors in the court, the emperor appoints new officials of the Ministry of Officials."
Yang Yun couldn't help but show a trace of embarrassment when he heard this, and then said to Li Yuntian in a loud voice, "Li Yushi, Emperor Taizong and Emperor Renzong are not thin on you, and now that the court's 'traitor' ministers are in charge, Li Yushi should stir up the turbidity and take down those 'traitor' ministers, so as to bless me for generations to come." ”
Before the rebellion of the Han Dynasty, Yang Yun was just a state experience of the seventh grade of Le'an Prefecture, and he was born in Shandong, and was entrusted with a heavy task due to the lack of civil officials under the Han Dynasty, so he lacked confidence in front of Li Yuntian, a two-rank Jinshi from the imperial history.
"Whether the 'traitor' minister is judged by the emperor or not, and there is no need for the king of Han to 'worry'." Li Yuntian saw that Yang Yun said that it was high-sounding, so he sneered and said coldly, "This official is deeply favored by Emperor Taizong and Emperor Renzong, and he will be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, eradicate the 'traitor' of the imperial court, and protect me for the long-term peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
"Li Yushi, the emperor was deceived by a 'traitor' minister, and he needs an upright and loyal minister like Li Yushi to turn the tide."
Yang Yunyan's face changed a few times when he heard this, and it was obvious that the "traitor" in Li Yuntian's words was referring to the King of Han, and then he arched his hand at Li Yuntian and said, "The King of Han greatly appreciates Li Yushi, and my Ming Dynasty is now gloomy, and I need a young talent like Li Yushi to take on the big role." ”
"Li Yushi, after clearing those 'traitor' ministers in the court, the King of Han will definitely recommend Li Yushi to the emperor, and it is more than enough to serve as the left deputy of the Imperial Court with Li Yushi's talent." As he spoke, Yang Yun silently threw a bait at Li Yuntian.
If Li Yuntian can serve as the left deputy of the imperial history, he will undoubtedly ascend to the sky in one step, and become an out-and-out important minister of the imperial court, holding the heavy responsibility of supervising civil and military officials.
King Han's offer is indeed very high, which shows the importance he attaches to Li Yuntian, after all, Li Yuntian not only ruined his good deeds of entering Beijing to seize the throne twice, but also took Qingzhou City on the battlefield in Shandong, forcing him to switch to strategic defense, and his talent has been undoubtedly displayed.
As for Yang Yun's suggestion that the King of Han recommended Emperor Xuande, it was purely a cover-up, if the King of Han won this war, the emperor of Emperor Xuande would probably come to an end, and he might not even be able to live with his life.
"This official is self-aware, and the official's supervision of the imperial history has not been done well, how dare he dare to think of the position of the left deputy imperial history?" Faced with the temptation of the King of Han, Li Yuntian was indifferent, and looked at Yang Yun coldly, "This official asks you, what are you doing this time, but you want to surrender to this official?" ”
The reason why Li Yuntian rejected the King of Han was not that he was afraid that the King of Han would rebel in the future, and settle his account, if he wanted to soar, he would have defected to the King of Han when Emperor Yongle died, and the King of Han would definitely entrust him with a heavy responsibility.
In Li Yuntian's view, if in the founding period, the Han King who can fight well is definitely the most suitable monarch of the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty has existed for nearly half a century, and after Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yongle have used troops for many years, it has come time to recuperate, and the only people who can bring prosperity to the Ming Dynasty are Emperor Hongxi and Emperor Xuande, who are gentle and open-minded.
There is no doubt that after the Han King ascended the throne, he would definitely reuse the nobles, and continue to conquer abroad, wanting to establish great achievements like Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yongle, and then the people would be more miserable and the people's livelihood would wither, which was definitely not the situation that Li Yuntian wanted to see.
Therefore, he spared no effort to ruin the good deeds of the King of Han entering Beijing twice, which made the King of Han sigh and cry out in vain.
"Li Yushi, this official is here at the behest of the Han Wangjun, the Han King appointed you as the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, the General Army of Shandong, and the general charge of the military affairs of Jinan Mansion, Jining Mansion, Dongchang Mansion, Qingzhou Mansion, Dengzhou Mansion and Laizhou Mansion.
Yang Yun saw that Li Yuntian had a bad attitude, and knew that it would be in vain for him to continue, so he took out an official document from his sleeve and said to Li Yuntian solemnly.
Hearing this, all the officials in the hall couldn't help but look at Li Yuntian in unison, wondering what kind of reaction Li Yuntian would make, there was no doubt that Li Yuntian's choice would have a serious impact on the situation in Shandong
