Chapter 24: Recovering Shenyang and Recovering the Homeland
Wen Tiren wrote a letter to Zhou Yanru, in which he talked about the thoughts of the Donglin Party members in Nanjing.
Contact Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong, and Sun Guozhen, the governor of Denglai, and on the condition of military salaries, the two of them will send troops from the north and south to Beijing to crusade against Zhu Chunchen.
In addition to this idea, Wen Tiren also mentioned the relocation of the capital in the letter, hoping that Qian Qianyi, Zhou Yanru and others could persuade Zhu Youzhen to move south and move the capital back to Nanjing.
This saves you a lot of trouble.
"The situation in the north is erosive, Xuanda and Ningjin are unstable, and Dongjiang and Denglai are constantly urging salaries day by day, which has become a burden to the imperial court. Mao Wenlong of Phi Island had 30,000 troops, but he falsely claimed that he was asking for 200,000 salaries, which belonged to Liu Xingzhi's secret collusion with Jiannu, and Wenlong's heart of disobedience was already clear.
Jin and Shaanxi are in trouble, Sichuan and Guizhou Tusi provoked, so at this moment still the imperial court in Beijing, not in line with the sky, Nanjing is the foundation of our dynasty, there is a Yangtze River in front of the natural danger, backed by the Jiangnan wealth, can be guarded.
Ploughing and operating, accumulating national strength, he will be able to achieve the Central Plains in the future, and hope that the jade rope will take this as a persuasion, and enter the emperor, and wait for Yuan and Sun Er to eradicate the power of the traitor, and the society will immediately move south without curbing. ”
Moving south?
Regarding Wen Tiren's thoughts, Zhu Youzhen can see through it at a glance.
said that it is high-sounding, but it is not the heart of the Son of Heaven.
Jiangnan is the foundation of the Donglin Party, its power is huge and solid, and if he really goes to Nanjing, he will never have a chance to take power again.
This is also the reason why the original Emperor Chongzhen has been reluctant to move south, since the second year of Chongzhen, the Donglin Party has not dispelled the idea of persuading Emperor Chongzhen to move south, and also wanted to bring Zhu Cihong over first, but in the end Emperor Chongzhen refused.
Chongzhen isn't too stupid.
Emperor Chongzhen of the former can see what he can understand, and it is even more impossible for Zhu Youzhen to be fooled like this now, what he is thinking about now is how to eradicate the Donglin Party in Nanjing.
As long as you can hold Nanzhili back into your own hands and connect Beijing and Nanjing, it is equivalent to dredging a major artery, and the heart of the country of Daming can resume beating again.
And the fists of Ning Jin and Denglai can also be powerful, and it is no longer difficult to defend or fight.
As for the uprising of the displaced people, which gradually spread throughout the country, Zhu Youzhen has no energy to pay attention to it now.
"Since the Nanjing Donglin Party is willing to pay, let Yuan Chonghuan and Sun Guozhen knock a hard shot."
Don't give the money to your door in vain.
-----------------
Ningyuan City, governor of Liaodong Yamen.
Yuan Chonghuan is very busy now, the Houjin army has more than 20,000 cavalry, and now the troops have surrounded Jinzhou, and the battle situation that has just been relaxed for a few months has become tense again.
"What does Huang Taiji want to do again?"
In the big room full of sand tables and maps, Yuan Chonghuan frowned: "Didn't he just withdraw his troops from North Korea, and he didn't plan to rest?" ”
Cao Wenzhao, a deputy general and guerrilla general, expressed his thoughts.
"Could it be intentional pressure, I heard that Mao Wenlong is in a difficult situation now, many of the military guards he operates in southern Liaoning have been pulled out by Huang Taiji, and the food and salary have been cut off, and Huang Taiji doesn't want us to support Mao Wenlong."
"Is he trying to force Mao Wenlong down?"
Yuan Chonghuan's sorrow is more than three points.
"Futai, once Mao Wenlong surrenders, we will be finished." Cao Wenzhao carefully glanced at Yuan Chonghuan's face and said, "Simply, get rid of Mao Wenlong?" ”
Yuan Chonghuan was stunned for a moment, but quickly shook his head again: "The emperor has already said that Mao Wenlong cannot be eliminated for the time being, and he plays a vital role in the situation in southern Liaoning. ”
"But in case ......"
"No whatever!" Yuan Chonghuan drank: "Take out 300,000 taels from our military funds to send them to Phi Dao, so that Dongjiang can survive this period of time first." ”
Cao Wenzhao was a little unhappy: "Our own military spending is not enough, and the soldiers have been in a lot of mood recently. ”
"The emperor has already sent a letter, asking us to persist in persisting, and the emperor will find a way to make up a military fund for us as soon as possible."
Yuan Chonghuan has no better way now, so he can only choose to believe Zhu Youzhen.
Cao Wenzhao said no more, and received the order in silence.
Outside the door, Cao Wenzhao's nephew and also Yuan Chonghuan's personal commander Cao Bianjiao rushed in quickly.
"Futai, Your Majesty's hand."
"Bring it quickly."
Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly took it, and couldn't help but smile at a glance.
Cao Wenzhao beside him saw it really and hurriedly asked: "Futai is so happy, but Your Majesty has made up the military expenses." ”
"Not really."
Cao Wenzhao was suddenly disappointed.
"But it's pretty much the same, someone will send us money right away." Yuan Chonghuan immediately said: "In addition, last month Gengchen, Lu Wan, the squire of the military department, learned to rebel against the soldiers of the Beijing battalion, slaughtered hundreds of officials and twenty-seven lords of the Five Military Mansions, and then His Majesty personally suppressed the chaos, and Lu Rebellion has already subdued the law. ”
The uncle and nephew were stunned.
Jingying rebellion?
"What kind of rebellion is Lu Wanxue's ......plot" Cao Wen's edict came out, and he suddenly thought of something, and his eyes widened: "Futai just said, slaughter all the officials and the lords of the Five Military Mansions?" ”
Yuan Chonghuan nodded: "That's right, the ministers of civil and military affairs are all going to the country." ”
"Shhh Cao Wenzhao took a breath: "This matter, could it be the emperor." ”
Yuan Chonghuan glared: "This matter is the behind-the-scenes manipulation of Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, you are not allowed to talk nonsense, now Zhu Chunchen is in control of the government and threatens the Son of Heaven, and the commander must raise troops to return to the division as soon as possible to enter the customs, and King Qin will escort him." ”
"Yes." Cao Wenzhao also knew that he couldn't talk nonsense, so he hurriedly hugged his fists and responded.
Yuan Chonghuan then waved his hand: "Wen Zhao, you go to Jinzhou first, although Huang Taiji may not be able to fight this battle, but he will not retreat, after all, he should not be taken lightly, I will stay here." ”
"Yes, take care of Futai."
Cao Wenzhao was ordered to leave, and Cao Bianjiao's eyes were hot, so he looked at Yuan Chonghuan.
"Stinky boy, are you so unhappy to be the commander of General Ben's own army?" Yuan Chonghuan didn't understand Cao Bianjiao's thoughts, and immediately scolded with a smile: "Go to Jinzhou with your uncle, and wait for General Ben to ask His Majesty for a general rank for you." ”
Cao Bianjiao was suddenly overjoyed, hugged his fists and thanked him: "Thank you Futai!" ”
After that, he quickly ran out of the house and chased after Cao Wenzhao.
Yuan Chonghuan lit the letter, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He is now full of confidence in holding the Ningjin defensive line, and this confidence was given to him by Zhu Youzhen.
The emperor is wise and wise, which is a blessing for the country.
What's the difficulty of the current situation, who hasn't had a hard life, no matter how hard it is, as long as you don't have a distraction, you can always get through.
What's more, isn't there still Zhu Youzhen on his head?
"Punish the Donglin Party and nobles, and hold all the power inside and outside Beijing, Your Majesty is so resolute, it can be described as a generation of Ming Jun."
After burning the letter, Yuan Chonghuan walked to a national map and stopped, his finger first clicked on Denglai, and then went all the way south to Nanjing.
"Once the connection between Beijing and Nanjing is opened, the country can gather strength, and then Denglai will contact Lushun and Jinzhou, reopen and expand the battlefield in southern Liaoning, and contain the rear of Huang Taiji, and our army will be able to recapture the Great and Small Ling River when it leaves Jinzhou.
Once the battle line is pushed to Xiping, this battle of national fortune can be won, Shenyang will be recovered, and the homeland will be recovered! ”
