readx;???? Before Zhang Jiashi ordered Yu Jian and Su Jiao to lead an army to reinforce Donghu, Zhang Jiashi asked people who could participate in the military conference to hold a consultation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because many people are leading troops outside or serving as county guards, Zhang Jiashi, who came to attend the military conference this time, is not much civil and military.

Prime Minister Chen Ping, Imperial History Cheng Li Zuoche, Imperial Servant Xiahou Ying, Shaofu Xiao He, General Li Xin, Wei Wei Huan Feng, Lang Zhong Ling Yu Yong, Yu Shi Ling Zhang Liang, and National Lieutenant Tu Sui were the main personnel involved in this meeting.

Zhang Jiashi appointed Zhang Liang as the imperial commander, mainly as Li Zuoche's adjutant. Because Zhang Jiashi had no intention of appointing Zhang Liang to the official corresponding position at the time of the meeting.

First, Zhang Jiashi believes that such an arrangement can effectively protect Zhang Liang and prevent Zhang Liang from being too eye-catching, and secondly, in terms of Zhang Liang's character, the subordinate official in the imperial history who serves as the imperial history order can be regarded as a place where he can give full play to his corresponding talents.

To be honest, if it weren't for Zhang Jiashi's desire for Tu Sui to fade out of the Great Qin Emperor prematurely, the position of national lieutenant would be the most suitable official position for Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang's ability to command the army, Zhang Jiashi is not very clear about Zhang Liang's ability in this regard, but the duties of the national lieutenant also have the function of assisting the monarch in military construction, so in many ways, the position of the national lieutenant can also be regarded as the top of a kind of staff officer.

Zhang Liang did not object to Zhang Jiashi's arrangement, because if he didn't think that Zhang Jiashi was indeed worthy of his assistance, I am afraid he would not have paid attention to Zhang Jiashi's solicitation.

......

After the meeting began, Zhang Jiashi named three themes for this military meeting.

The first is the issue of reinforcements to Donghu.

Although it is said that the actions of Zhang Jiashi and Chen Ping are equivalent to declaring war with the Huns.

However, it is undeniable that the declaration of war by the Xiongnu and the aid to the Donghu people were in fact not too directly related.

Before Zhang Jiashi raised this issue, he thought that there might be many people who opposed such a military action.

After all, such a military action would not be of much benefit to the Great Qin Empire.

But contrary to what Zhang Jiashi thought, even Xiao He, who thought that the Great Qin Empire should recuperate the most, had no idea of objecting.

This made Zhang Jiashi very stunned.

He couldn't help but put his eyes on Chen Ping. However, Chen Ping, who was sitting at the top of Zhang Jiashi's left hand, was very calm and silent.

Zhang Jiashi will not ask such a situation to the end on such an occasion, because for Zhang Jiashi, if some opinions can reach a consensus, it is not a bad thing.

Although Zhang Jiashi did not want to see his subordinate Wenwu say nothing on some major opinions, there were priorities, and in some matters related to the survival of the country, Zhang Jiashi still hoped that his subordinate Wenwu could work together.

Zhang Jiashi does not want to see such a thing as party strife develop to the extent that it can affect the peace of the country. After all, the lessons of history can be said to be very profound.

......

Since this kind of thing is unavoidable, it can be regarded as a laissez-faire method adopted by many kings in order to weigh the strength of the ministers of the court.

There are three main famous party struggles in Chinese history:

The first is the "Friendship Dispute" formed in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, also known as the "Niu-Li Party Dispute":

In the late Tang Dynasty, there was a struggle for power among different factions within the ruling group, which was known as the "dispute between friends and parties". In the third year of Xianzong Yuanhe (808), during the examination, Niu Shengyu and Li Zongmin criticized the current politics and criticized the prime minister Li Jifu in the policy theory, but Li Jifu rejected it and did not use it for a long time. By the time of Tang Muzong, Niu Shengyu was once the prime minister, and Li Deyu, the son of Li Jifu, accused Li Zongmin of presiding over the scientific examination and fraud, and Li Zongmin and others were demoted, and the struggle became more complicated. The ministers of the imperial court were divided and combined, forming the "Niu Party" headed by Niu Shengyu and Li Zongmin, and the "Li Party" headed by Li Deyu, and the two factions have been fighting each other for more than 40 years. Li Party leaders Li Deyu and Zheng Qin were both born in the noble clan and the sons of the prime minister, and they both served as people with shadows, advocating that "the nobles of the court must be the children of the ministers". The reason is that it has been bleached since childhood, "without teaching and self-contained". However, the leaders of the Niu Party, Niu Shengyu and Li Zongmin, were mostly promoted to the top of the ranks, and opposed the monopoly of official careers by the sons of the ministers; in their attitude towards the feudal towns, the two factions had their own opinions. The Li Party has been a minister for generations, and supported the Tang court to suppress the strong feudal domains, because the Jiedu made them powerful and affected their interests; most of the Niu Dang came from local prefectures and counties, and they were inextricably linked with the feudal towns, and their interests were related, and they advocated appeasement, hoping that the imperial court would recognize the fact of secession. The two sides also have very different attitudes towards the regimes of the surrounding ethnic minorities...... The two parties fought for a long time, and finally turned into an offensive spirit.

Apart from the different interests, there is no obvious difference in political opinion. For example, at that time, the eunuchs of the court arbitrarily exercised power, and the two parties vied with each other to cling to the eunuchs for assistance. The two parties alternated in power and attacked each other, making the court of ** even more chaotic. During the reign of Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Deyu was in a high position and demoted Li Zongmin and exiled him to Fengzhou; during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, the Niu Party gained power, the Li Party was reprimanded, and Li Deyu was demoted to Yazhou. When Xuanzong, Niu monks and children died of illness, and the Niu Li party dispute ended. Tang Wenzong sighed for this: "It is easy to go to Hebei and it is difficult to go to the court and friends."

The "Anshi Rebellion", the "Niu-Li Party Dispute" and the secession of feudal towns and the interference of central officials caused the powerful Tang Dynasty to collapse and the rivers to decline.

It can be said that the "Niu Li Party Dispute" has created a precedent for large-scale party struggle.

The second large-scale party struggle was the party struggle between the reform faction headed by Wang Anshi in the Northern Song Dynasty and the "old-fashioned faction" headed by Sima Guang and Su Shi. This party struggle was later called the old and new party struggle:

In March of the eighth year of Yuanfeng (1085), Shenzong died of illness, Zhezong ascended the throne, Sima Guang was in power, and the new law was abolished several times, and the history called Yuan You was changed, under the leadership of the Empress Dowager Xuanren, he was committed to restoring the old system of his ancestors, which lasted nine years, and almost all the reformers in this period were demoted. Cai Qu, Zhang Dian and others were demoted to Lingnan (Guangdong), opening a precedent for the Northern Song Dynasty to demote officials to Lingnan.

In the first year of Yuanyou (1086), Wang Anshi and Sima Guang died of illness one after another, and the old faction continued to hold power, the party struggle was still endless, and the court was divided into two parties.

Luo Dang Zhu Guangting, Jia Yi and others attacked Su Shi and slandered Song Renzong as inferior to Emperor Wen of Han and Song Shenzong as inferior to Emperor Xuan of Han, thinking that it was disrespectful to the previous king. At this time, Lu Tao and Shangguan both came forward to defend Su Shi, which is known in history as the Shuluo Party Dispute (Shu Luoshuo Party Dispute). So far, the party struggle has only been reduced to a struggle of will, which has finally caused the DPRK's program to be sluggish and the political style to deteriorate. In the ninth year of Yuan You (1094), the Empress Dowager Xuanren died of illness, Song Zhezong was in power, Zhang Dian entered Beijing to serve as the left servant of Shangshu to beat the door of the servant, and restored the new law of Song Shenzong, known as "Shaoshu" in history, which means inheritance, Zeng Bu used it as a bachelor of Hanlin, and Zhang Shangying used it as the right Zhengyan.

During the reign of Zhang Dian, he took revenge on the ministers of Yuanyou, and deprived Sima Guang and Lü Gong of their gifts on the charge of "resisting the first emperor and changing the law", and most of the old party members were exiled and relegated to Lingnan and other wild areas, and tried to abolish the Empress Dowager Xuanren, which was stopped by Zhezong.

It can be seen from this that the old and new party struggles in the Northern Song Dynasty obviously had great factors of struggle.

What is interesting is that whether it is Sima Guang or Su Shi, although they did not fully support the reform of the law at the beginning, they were by no means staunch opponents. However, Wang Anshi's reform of the law was too hasty and unrealistic, and second, because of two major factors, such as the unclear use of personnel, which led to a major qualitative change in the original intention of the reform, and the two became staunch opponents.

The last large-scale party struggle was the "late Ming Dynasty party dispute" that gradually evolved in the middle and late Ming Dynasty:

The party struggle at the end of the Ming Dynasty pointed out the dispute between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party and the Zhejiang Party at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the government has become more and more popular, with many parties and party contentions. In the thirty-third year of Wanli (1605), Gu Xiancheng, a minister who was dismissed by the Ming Dynasty government, lectured at Donglin Academy outside the East Gate of Wuxi in his hometown with his fellow friends Gao Panlong, Qian Yiyi, Xue Fujiao, Shi Menglin and others. satirizing the government and politics, judging characters, and attacking the establishment. For a while, "the scholar doctor held the pestle of the road, retreated to the forest, and heard the wind and echoed" ("History of the Ming Dynasty", volume 231, "The Biography of Gu Xiancheng"). Some incumbent officials, such as ** star magnitude, also correspond from afar. The Donglin Party got its name from this. At the same time as the Donglin Party, another group of officials and gentry formed the Zhejiang, Qi, Chu, Xuan, and Kunming parties. These parties also had contradictions with each other, but they all colluded with the big landlord clique to "attack Donglin and exclude dissidents" (History of the Ming Dynasty, vol. 236, "Xia Jiayu Biography"). Tang Binyin, the leader of the Xuan Party, is from Xuancheng, Gu Tianjun, the leader of the Kunming Party, is from Kunshan, and the other parties are named after the township. Among these parties, the Zhejiang Party is more powerful, and the leaders of the Zhejiang Party, Shen Yiyi and Fang Congzhe, have successively served as the first assistants of the cabinet and are in power in the DPRK.

The loss caused by the Donglin party to the Ming Dynasty is a profound historical lesson, many people do not have enough understanding of the harm of the Donglin party, and are confused by the gorgeous rhetoric and the coat of "clear stream" of the Donglin party, and there are many words of praise and praise for it.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the party struggle began in the 22nd year of Wanli "Jingcha" (assessment of officials) and continued until the first year of Hongguang (1645), which never stopped. Both on political and military issues, there are endless debates. At first, it was a dispute between the Donglin Party and the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang, and later evolved into a dispute between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party. Empress Mingshenzong had no children, Concubine Wang Gong gave birth to a son Chang Luo (i.e., Guangzong), and Concubine Zheng Guifei gave birth to a son Chang Xun (i.e., King Fu), and Chang Luo was the elder. But Shenzong favored Concubine Zheng and wanted to establish Chang Xun, but he did not establish the prince. Cabinet scholars Wang Xijue, Shen Zhengyi, Fang Congzhe and others successively followed. The Donglin Party members wrote against it, and all parties rose up to oppose Donglin. As a result, there was the dispute over the "national capital", the dispute over the merger of the three kings, the dispute over the country of King Fu, the dispute over the "three cases", and the dispute over "Li Sancai's entry into the cabinet", and the Donglin Party and its opposition launched a debate on the issue of establishing the prince for more than 20 years. In the end, Shenzong finally established Chang Luo as the crown prince, and the power of the Zheng clan was suppressed to a certain extent. However, the Donglin Party's wish to promote Li Sancai as prime minister also failed to materialize.

At the time of the Apocalypse, the party struggle within the ruling class intensified. Initially, Ye Xianggao, Zou Yuanbiao, Yang Lian, **Xing and others of the Donglin Party were given the opportunity to govern, and the Zhejiang, Kunming, and Xuan parties were once ostracized. Soon, the eunuchs headed by Wei Zhongxian formed an alliance with some of the parties in Zhejiang, Qi, Chu, Xuan, and Kun, and were called "eunuch parties" by the Donglin Party, and the army sprung up. The Donglin Party vehemently opposed the "eunuch party" to power. Yang Lianshang impeached Wei Zhongxian for the twenty-four evils and was arrested by Jinyi Tiqi. Zuo Guangdou, Wei Dazhong, Zhou Shunchang, Huang Zunsu and others were also arrested and executed. The Donglin Party suffered a setback. Emperor Chongzhen succeeded to the throne and hunted down the eunuchs. Under the regime of King Nanming Fu, the struggle between the Donglin Party and the eunuchs continued. For example, the struggle between the "Restoration Society" and Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng.

And the Ming Dynasty party struggle even affected the continuation of the Ming Dynasty's national fortunes, if it weren't for the fact that the Donglin Party people were basically empty talk and misguided the country, or even knew about the party struggle without doing the right thing, I am afraid that the situation in the Ming Dynasty would have improved a little in many aspects.

For a court, party struggle has its inevitability, but it is undeniable that if a kind of party struggle intensifies, then it is definitely not a good thing for a country.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

On the issue of whether to send troops to aid Donghu, a corresponding consensus was quickly reached.

Because many people, under Chen Ping's hint, knew Zhang Jiashi's determination and some considerations. The people here are not empty talkers, many of them can see the inevitability and urgency of Zhang Jiashi's assistance to the Donghu people after thinking about it.

Especially for military personnel, the existence of the Donghu force can indeed contain part of the attention of the Huns, but many people know in their hearts how effective such a situation of restraining the attention of the Huns can be, but few people can have too optimistic ideas.

Especially Li Xin and Tu Sui, who were once the commanders of the army, did not think that if the Huns really engaged in a full-scale war with the Great Qin Empire, then the Donghu people would be able to give too much help.

After all, even now, even if the Donghu people resist the further offensive of the Huns, they still need to rely heavily on various assistance from the Great Qin Empire, and this time they even have to directly send troops to Donghu for reinforcements.

It is conceivable that if a big war breaks out in the near future, the Donghu people may just stay and do nothing to avoid being burned.

Tu Sui did not think about the issue of opposing Zhang Jiashi, but he knew one thing better, that is, if the Donghu people were really eliminated and annexed by the Huns, then the threat to Liaoning County would become very huge.

The Great Qin Empire has experienced several years of civil strife, and the decline in national strength is very serious, if it were not for Zhang Jiashi's timely dispatch of troops to turn the tide, I am afraid that the current Great Qin Empire has already become the dust of history.

And Tu Sui thought in his heart:

Many places in the border counties can be captured by the Huns, however, only the safety of Liaoning County is related to the strategic situation of Hebei......
