Chapter 728: The Strategic Intent Has Been Achieved
Yang Tinghe and Zhu Si broke up unhappily. After Yang Tinghe returned, he was ready to deal with Zhu Si's assertions.
Let you be the emperor for a few days, and you will insist on going your own way, and everything will come according to your wishes, is this going against the sky? If I don't give you some color, it seems that you don't know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has!
Even if the courtiers can't teach you, isn't there still your "queen mother"? I'll see if you'll be able to do anything so easily after putting pressure on you!
Yang Tinghe made up his mind that this time he would unite with Empress Dowager Zhang to teach the little emperor a lesson.
But before that.
He first went to the Yamen of the Household Department to visit Sun Jiao. Sun Jiao was not surprised by Yang Tinghe's arrival, and after Sun Jiao learned that Tang Yin had sent troops, he was expecting Yang Tinghe to "persuade" the emperor in what way.
After meeting, Sun Jiao saw Yang Ting and the face that was so black that it couldn't be blacker, and he knew that the monarch and the ministers were summoned separately in the palace to discuss a good result. This Yang Zhongtang is looking for someone to vent. 「…… Like-minded brother, why don't you advise Your Majesty on such a major matter? Do you think Tang Yin really has the ability to turn things around?"
Yang Tinghe's face was very dark, but when he saw Sun Jiao, he first showed a calm look in a low tone, but in fact, his aura had long been extremely disordered, betraying his resentful mentality.
Sun Jiao listened, what you mean by this is that I knew in advance and didn't advise?
This basin...... Buckles! Sun Jiaodao: "The old man was also in the court, and all the ministers learned about it together, as for why he didn't persuade His Majesty to withdraw his order...... Anyway, it will only take two or three days for Bohu's soldiers and horses to go out of the city, right? Call it back now, will it ...... Give the Tartars a chance to take advantage of? The old man doesn't know how to march and set up the army, so let's let the people in the military department study it."
I learned the news with you, it's all a matter of the Ministry of War, you can't persuade you to come, look for ***? When my grandson old man is soft persimmon easy to pinch?
Yang Tinghe frowned: "Your Majesty didn't inform you in advance?"
"Oh, Jiefu, there may be ambiguity in what you say, Your Majesty doesn't publicize it to the public, how can you tell the old man? If the old decay knows in advance, it will be a rule
I advise Your Majesty to do it yourself, and it is not good to make trouble with such a matter of sending troops...... There's going to be a big mess." Sun Jiao looked wronged.
"And now?"
Yang Tinghe said, "Are you willing to jointly persuade Your Majesty?"
Sun Jiao seemed to understand something. Your monarchs and ministers met alone, and the talks collapsed, and you were unhappy, and you planned to unite a group of ministers to put pressure on the emperor?
Sun Jiao said earnestly: "But he said that this young man is unruly in nature, and he still uses reason to persuade him...... It's a little more difficult, and it's better to wait for the results to be there, and let Your Majesty know that you are lost with the facts."
The implication is that pull me into the water, no way! Yang Tinghe glared at Sun Jiao, his eyes were about to burst into flames.
Sun Jiao knew that Yang Tinghe was deliberately pretending to be angry in front of him, and he didn't mind, anyway, he had nothing to talk about with Yang Tinghe.
"In terms of the use of the northwest, the old decay has been sorted out here, and since the husband is here, let's take it back and take a look. That's what someone will bring to you."
Sun Jiao seemed to be covered in oil, slippery and slippery, and did not give Yang Tinghe any chance.
In Yang Tinghe's view, if he doesn't help himself, he is a political enemy.
But in the face of a Sun Jiao who didn't like to be an official in the court, in fact, Yang Tinghe didn't have many ways, what family reputation, protégés and the future of future generations did others care about, etc., what did Sun Jiao care about?
Chaozhong Ziran is one, even if the two sons want to be officials in the future, but Sun Jiao really cares about what official positions the two sons will do in the future?
In the next few days, Yang Ting and the liaison ministers played and persuaded Emperor Cheng.
It is mainly based on the chaotic government in the Zhengde period as an introduction to a large-scale exhortation, a bit like going to the noon gate to kneel together, or kneeling down together in the court to admonish, in short, to make the battle bigger.
I originally wanted to get the support of Empress Dowager Zhang, but the matter was ...... It's not going well.
is that Yang Tinghe can't get in touch with the Empress Dowager Zhang directly, even if the news spreads to the palace, it seems that the Empress Dowager Zhang doesn't care too much about persuading her stepson.
It's easy to understand.
If Empress Dowager Zhang is really that kind of strict mother, before
The Emperor Zhengde would not make such a fuss.
To put it bluntly, Empress Dowager Zhang is more like a boudoir woman with a small jasper family, she doesn't have much knowledge, and what she wants to do is live a peaceful and stable life.
Now that none of Empress Dowager Zhang's biological children are left, her husband is also dead, and only the two younger brothers of the Zhang family are left close to her, and now she wants to fight for more things for the Zhang family.
Did this stepson fail to be the emperor? Although from the perspective of Empress Dowager Zhang, Zhu Si was very unhappy about her fighting for the status of her biological father and mother, but in general, after more than a year, her position in the palace is still very stable.
Empress Dowager Zhang was too lazy to toss.
As a result, Yang Tinghe has only half of what he wants to do for the time being, and he doesn't know whether he should continue it.
However, it was said that in the northwest at this time, Tang Yin's plan to lure the enemy into the depths did have a very good effect.
When the Tatars learned that Juyongguan had sent a group of men and horses to Xuanfu, they naturally wanted to intercept them, which was a guarantee for obtaining military merits and obtaining the greatest value on the battlefield.
The Tartars did not think that the Ming cavalry had much combat effectiveness in the wilderness.
The development of the war situation is also in line with the expectations of the Tartars.
The Tartar cavalry of all walks of life gathered, and there were about three or four thousand cavalry, and the number was probably one less
point, directly chasing the Ming cavalry, forced the Ming cavalry back to Juyong Pass all the way, and the Tatar cavalry also took advantage of the situation to kill in front of Juyong Pass.
In this battle to lure the enemy into depth, the Ming Dynasty lost forty or fifty generals.
The main reason is that the defenders of Juyong Pass are not suitable for this kind of guerrilla warfare, knowing that they will withdraw when they encounter the enemy, and the Ming cavalry still lags behind or gets lost, and then ...... The report of the battle reached the capital.
This gives the ministers room to make a fuss.
The battle report came, and early the next morning, Zhu Si did not show up for a long time, and the ministers were like frying pans, one by one indignantly accusing the emperor of inaction.
"Ministers......
Zhang Zuo appeared in the court, with a kind mouth
Kiss announced to everyone present, "Your Majesty is in good health, please go back first, and rest for a day today."
Lin Jun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, stepped forward quickly, pointed at Zhang Zuo and said, "Your Majesty doesn't dare to come out to see the ministers and wait, right?"
Zhang Zuo was shocked: "Lin ...... Lin Butang, what are you talking about? Your Majesty is really sick, something else...... You can't talk nonsense."
The great disrespect has reached a certain level, and he dares to point at the eunuch who holds the seal of the master of ceremonies and accuses the emperor?
Is it bullying me Zhang Zuo to speak? Or is it a bully that the emperor has no temper? "No, we have to face the saint today, and the important military situation in the northwest must be stated today! Please pass it on!" Lin Jun did not give up.
"This ......"
Zhang Zuo looked at Yang Tinghe, "Elder Yang Ge, Your Majesty said that you know the inside story, and you should come out and say a few words at this time...... With your ability, it should be easy to clean up the situation, it's up to you whether you want to or not."
Yang Tinghe frowned slightly. I know the inside story? That's right.
The emperor said in front of me that the purpose of Tang Yin's troops was only to lure the enemy deeper, although he lost his men and horses, but the strategy of luring the enemy deep into the army was actually successful, sending 3,000 troops and coming back 2,950...... This loss was completely controllable, and the whole army was not annihilated, and the main force of the Tartar cavalry was successfully attracted to Juyong Pass......
Yang Tinghe, as the first assistant of the cabinet, should have come out to preside over the overall situation at this time.
But just as he was about to say something, Jiang Mian and Mao Ji each pulled him.
Although Jiang Mian and Mao Ji didn't know the inside story, they understood one thing.
The emperor is now being blamed by angry ministers......
Aren't we going to teach the emperor a lesson? Our goal has been achieved! Why do you want to help the little emperor maintain the scene? Wouldn't it be good for the ministers to maintain this anger?
Yang Tinghe understood what Jiang Mian and Mao Ji meant, so he directly stood by and ignored Zhang Zuo's words.
Zhang Zuo had no choice but to go back to Zhu Si.
At this time, Zhu Si was talking to Huang Jin in the Qianqing Palace, and Huang Jin brought the latest news in Juyong Pass
, but directly reported to the East Factory, which directly reported to the emperor.
「…… Your Majesty."
Zhang Zuo appeared in front of Zhu Si with an embarrassed face. Zhu Si glanced up at him: "What, those ministers refuse to leave, right?"
Zhang Zuo lowered his head: "Yes." Zhu Si sneered, "The surname Yang also refuses to come forward, right? He's a joke he really wants to see! I told him that this was to lure the enemy deeper, and he didn't know that the strategic intention had been achieved?"
Zhang Zuo sighed: "Maybe Yang Ge always thinks that sending troops is a loss, and it goes against the original intention of luring the enemy."
"There are still immortals in war?" Zhu Si got up angrily, almost slapping the table, "I finally know how that imperial brother died, he was to death by this group of people! I like to find trouble with me when I have nothing to do, who is used to them for their faults? I'm really ......."
"Your Majesty is angry." Zhang Zuo hurriedly said.
Zhu Sibian flattened his mouth: "I can't be angry with this group of people, their rank is too low...... Oh yes, go on!"
Wong Kam said, "...... Right now, the Tartars are already arrayed outside Juyong Pass, clamoring for me to fight! Tang Zhitai has already arranged a night attack, just wait for the enemy army to relax, maybe he can launch a surprise attack tonight,
Even if you can't kill or injure many Diyi, you can still make them retreat!"
"Good!"
"The time and place are favorable, and now that the time and place are favorable, it doesn't matter if people are not in harmony! Anyway, this battle is not for the old stubborn people in the court to fight hard, they have opinions for them to hurry up! Quickly send a message to Mr. Tang and let him make his own decision."
Huang Jin said again: "Your Majesty, Tang Zhitai also asks for instructions, if the Tartars retreat after the night attack tonight, will our soldiers and horses pursue?"
Because the strategic intention has been achieved, Tang Yin understands that as long as there is a "bombardment from the air", it is a good thing for the Tatar people to withdraw when they are bombed.
Now the question is, whether to pursue or not.
This is the option that could have a twist. Zhu Sidao: "Let Mr. Tang watch it...... If he thinks it's appropriate to attack, then rush out and give me face!"
