Chapter 358: You Don't Want It, I'm Willing
Chapter 358
In February of the ninth year of Chongzhen, the weather in Beijing was abnormal. At the beginning of February, it was still bitterly cold, but in the middle of February, the weather suddenly turned hot, and the sun seemed to be pressed lower and lower, until it reached the top of the Temple of Heaven, like an iron plate, making people breathless.
The original snow melted in just a few days, and at the same time, the city of Beijing became a muddy pond, full of mud, Wen Tiren was on duty, listening to the people cursing thieves on the street, as if a plan was slowly generated from his head.
Whether it is Jiannu or Tartar, it is very difficult to gnaw the defense system established by the Ming Dynasty after more than 200 years, just like the last time they took a lot of effort to let go of the border defense line, but the problem is that it only needs a fulcrum to block it, and it will be in vain.
Pingding Prefecture was blocked by the rout of Taiyuan Mansion led by Xie Zhiliang, and the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Chechen Khan did not break through Jingcheng, let alone threaten the capital. As for Lanzhou being blocked by Zhang Jiwu, the more than 200,000 troops of the Junggar Khan Department are also difficult to overcome, not to mention that Cheng Shijie blocked the banks of the Baihe River and surrounded and annihilated the army of the Tushetu Khan in the valley between Jing'anbao and the Baihe.
Such a zone in the Central Plains, how many or how many, just like the Zasaktu Khan after occupying Taiyuan, all the way to the south, only to the territory of Lu'an Mansion, they can't move, even if they can transfer the Ming defenders, but the problem is that the regimental training organized by the Shu landlords makes the Zasaktu Khan have a headache, and the most incredible thing is that it is in the Hao family compound in Changzhi County.
This small village located in the south of Changzhi, there is a rich man surnamed Hao, Hao old rich man died early, leaving a minor son named Hao Huanchen, Hao Huanchen does not learn no skills, but loves to dance knives and guns, when the Mongolian army went south to attack Changzhi County, Changzhi County was quickly breached, but Hao Huanchen organized more than 200 villagers, stubbornly guarded the Hao family compound, relying on the Hao family compound covering an area of less than 30 acres, insisted on 11 days, but let the Zasaktu Khan Department nearly 2,000 people.
Let Jiannu come in, I'm afraid the result is still the same, even if Jiannu was at its strongest, when he conquered Shenyang City, he used the Shenyang general soldier He Shixian to retreat from the West Gate, Jiannu conquered Shenyang City, and when he occupied Liaoyang, Liaoyang City was abandoned by the Ming army, and the Ming army abandoned Da'ankou and Longjing Pass, even if it was the fourth year of Chongzhen, when the battle of Dalinghe City, Huang Taiji could only take the way of siege.
It also means that Jiannu's ability to attack the city is not stronger than that of the Mongols, if the Ming is willing to defend, it is difficult for them to break through the city, but the Ming has more than 2,000 cities, and there are more than 1,000 fortresses on the Great Wall defense line alone.
What if the Ming army was allowed to go out of the customs and attack Jiannu?
In the case of Jiannu's field advantage, I am afraid that except for the Ning Navy, the other Ming armies are simply unable to defeat Jiannu in the wilderness.
Thinking of this, Wen Tiren's brows twisted into a ball: "How can we make Da Ming go out of the customs to attack Jiannu at all costs?" ”
How can I ......
Thinking of this, Wen Tiren's head suddenly had an idea.
He hurriedly took the pen and hurriedly wrote the letter.
The letter is not long, only a few hundred words, for Wen Tiren, it is immediate.
"Someone!"
"Your Excellency!"
"Deliver it to Lord Wang immediately!"
"Yes!"
……
Ering Dabu Sannaoer, which is the Mongolian word "Eren" has the meaning of "mirage", and "Dabu Sannaoer" means salt lake, which together is a salt lake with a mirage.
During the reign of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, a city had been established here, of course, a city, which was only equivalent to a small town in the Central Plains. After Huang Taiji retreated from Kuku and Tun, he was stationed here, and he originally hoped that the Ning Navy could pursue, and he could just use the terrain to fight the Ning Navy for a counterattack.
It's just a pity that the Ning Navy did not pursue, Huang Taiji decided to separate the military and civilians of the Dajin Kingdom, and the people moved to Mobei, leaving only one of the eight banners in Monan to monitor the movements of the Ming Dynasty.
The army of the Ming Dynasty did not wait, but waited for the cabinet minister of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Yingxiong.
When Wang Yingxiong arrived at Ering Dabu Sannaoer, Fan Wencheng was in charge of receiving him.
Fan Wencheng didn't have time to talk nonsense with Wang Yingxiong, he said with an unkind face: "Lord Wang, what you are doing is not authentic!" ”
Wang Yingxiong's face was full of doubts: "How can you say this?" ”
Fan Wencheng was slightly stunned: "Why don't you reward Ning Haijun?" ”
These words made Wang Yingxiong feel confused, he wanted to ask Fan Wencheng who he was, why did he care about Cheng Shijie?
In fact, Fan Wencheng's thinking logic is like this, Cheng Shijie and Jiannu traded the heads of Mongolian Tatars, but the problem is that the Ming court did not reward Cheng Shijie, but dismissed Cheng Shijie's officials, which made Cheng Shijie very angry, so he interrupted the transaction with Jiannu grain for the head, and instead sent troops to attack Shenyang.
If it weren't for Huang Taiji's early preparations, Jiannu's losses would probably be very heavy, but fortunately, there were less than 10,000 horses in Shenyang, most of them were Han military flags, although the losses were heavy, Huang Taiji was not too distressed, but it was a pity that he could no longer trade with Ning Haijun.
When they understood what Fan Wencheng said, Wang Yingxiong began to scold Cheng Shijie, they all thought that Cheng Shijie was loyal to Daming, but they didn't expect Cheng Shijie to have already been with Jiannu.
"I don't know why Lord Wang came this time?"
Wang Yingxiong said: "Deal with our common enemy!" ”
"Who?"
Fan Wencheng's brows furrowed: "Didn't you use our big gold as a gunman?" ”
"It's better to have use value than no use value!"
Wang Yingxiong still has a strong confidence at this time: "Now only if we cooperate, there is a way to live, if you don't cooperate, wait a few more years, do you think you still have a chance?" Cheng Shijie's anti-reluctance is clearly revealed......"
"What do you want?"
"I want your Khan to ascend the throne and become emperor!"
"Emperor?"
Fan Wencheng began to think about it, Huang Taiji's accession to the throne was a considerable risk.
The majesty of the Son of Heaven can not be offended, if the Ming Dynasty is like in history, the army is exhausted, unable to get out, he does not say that he ascended the throne and called the emperor, even if he claims to be the emperor of the universe, the Ming Dynasty is helpless, but now the Houjin country is declining, but the combat power of the Ming army is getting stronger and stronger, and the words of ascending the throne and calling the emperor will inevitably attract the fierce attack of the Ming army, and the consequences will be serious.
Fan Wencheng said: "The risk is too great. ”
"In the entire Ming Dynasty, there are three armies that can fight, the Guanning Army is eye-to-eye, it's not a secret, I think you should almost take the Guanning Army, and the other two armies, one is the Tianxiong Army, and the other is the Ning Navy!"
Wang Yingxiong said: "Once your Khan is proclaimed emperor, we will try our best to promote Emperor Chongzhen's personal expedition!" ”
Hearing this, Fan Wencheng's breath became short.
This is another change in the civil fort. The last time the 500,000 Ming army was lost, and the Mongolian army besieged the capital, you must know that there were only more than 30,000 men and horses, and he couldn't eat the Ming Dynasty. But the problem is that Huang Taiji's current strength is much stronger than before.
"Lord Wang is now a supreme minister, but I am afraid that the Khan King will not have anything to reward you!"
"Wang's move is not for personal gain, but for the public!"
Wang Yingxiong said righteously: "Respect for Confucius and Confucianism, worship literature and dethrone martial arts, is to follow the national policy of a thousand years, Zhu Youzhen was deceived by Cheng thief, and went the other way, pro-martial arts, far Wenchen, did not pay attention to the way of the sage, moral articles, but superstitious those strange and obscene techniques, so he brought about his own destruction......"
Fan Wencheng said: "I, Dajin, will never make the same mistake!" After Dajin enters the customs, the power of the Mo family and the Legalist family will be uprooted, all strange and ingenious techniques will be banned, and the world will return to the right path! At that time, Lord Wang will be the first hero of the founding of the country, and his descendants will be princes and marquises, which is unspeakably expensive, which makes people envious! ”
Wang Yingxiong said: "The old man made this decision for the sake of the common people in the world, not for personal gain!" ”
Fan Wencheng arched his hand and said: "Lord Wang is selfless, high-spirited and bright, the old man admires!" ”
Wang Yingxiong returned the salute: "Master Fan has won the award!" Lord Fan has worked hard for the cause of Jianzhou, has done his best, and has the legacy of Wuhou, which is admirable! ”
Fan Wencheng smiled: "Where, where is it, Lord Wang has won the award!" ”
Both of them cursed in their hearts: "Hypocrisy! ”
Although they have their own small abacus and their own interests, Fan Wencheng and Wang Yingxiong have completely the same views on dealing with Cheng Shijie, Cheng Shijie must die!
The Ning Navy system he built single-handedly must die! Needless to say, Wang Yingxiong needless to say, although Fan Wencheng is the advisor of Houjin, he is still a Confucian in his bones, and the position of Confucius and Mencius in his heart is irreplaceable, he can support a foreign race to enter China and rule Shenzhou, but he must not tolerate someone subverting the supremacy of Confucianism and kicking Confucianism off the altar!
Cheng Shijie made every effort to promote compulsory education for all, advocate equality for all farmers, industry and commerce, promote martial arts, promote industry, run newspapers, encourage women to let go of their feet, and advocate equality between men and women......
The most frightening thing is that after a short run-in, this system immediately burst out with powerful power, and earth-shaking changes took place in Liaodong, which made the scholar class terrified!
Cheng Shijie must die!
Even if the price of killing him is a foreign invasion and the destruction of the whole country, he will not hesitate to do it!
Once the Ning naval system is spread, the supremacy of the scholar class will be deprived, and they will have to compete with workers, peasants, soldiers, and merchants for the power that was originally firmly held in their hands, which they cannot tolerate.
……
When Cheng Shijie arrived in Liaodong, it was naturally an empty alley, and hundreds of people spontaneously came out to welcome Cheng Shijie's arrival, which was different from those bastards who picked up a bowl to eat meat and put down chopsticks to scold their mother.
The people of Liaodong still feel Cheng Shijie very much, in Liaodong they only need to work hard to get enough money for them to live, no matter how turbulent the Central Plains is, Liaodong is peaceful.
In particular, Jinzhou, as the largest city in eastern Liaoning, is not only the political center of the Ninghai Navy, but also the economic center, as well as the educational center, timber and rice from North Korea, livestock and skins from Mongolia, silk, tea, porcelain, cotton cloth from Guannai, and rare furs from Ningguta...... It's all gathered and traded here.
Thousands of craftsmen worked day and night to build artillery, guns, weapons, and armor for the Ning Navy.
The former Jinzhou Acropolis, one of the 25 guards in Liaodong, is still far from the famous cities of Nanjing, Beijing and Hangzhou, but it is already the leading big city in the north.
"Daddy......"
Cheng Jiayue rushed out of the crowd and came to Cheng Shijie.
Cheng Shijie hugged Cheng Jiayue and was full of joy.
As for Cheng Jialong, he directly ignored it.
After a long time, Cheng Shijie looked at Cheng Jialong and said, "Did you cause trouble?" ”
"Nope!"
However, Cheng Jialong's lie was immediately exposed by Cheng Jiayue, and Cheng Jiayue began to tell Cheng Jialong, Cheng Jialong's face was full of misery, and he felt that his ass was definitely going to suffer.
It's just that Cheng Jialong was very surprised that Cheng Shijie didn't beat him, but asked whether he was willing to go back.
Cheng Jialong is reluctant to go back?
What are you going back for?
Every day can not finish the work, read endless books, although in the Ming Dynasty he did not have the computer and mobile phone to play, but can play a lot more than the later generations, in the later generations he is just an ordinary child, here, he is the young marshal of the Ning Navy, the prince of the sea country, to say that one person, above ten thousand people, is not an exaggeration.
Cheng Jialong felt that something was wrong with Cheng Shijie, of course he didn't disturb Cheng Jiayue and Cheng Shijie's father and daughter's family fun, and he came to the General Staff of the Ning Navy to watch politics as usual.
At Cheng Jialong's age, he was still a child in later generations, and in this era, he was already an adult, after all, Cheng Jialong's height was taller than most adults.
When he came to the General Staff of the Ning Navy, Cheng Jialong found a problem.
"What about Chief of General Staff Zhou?"
Cheng Jialong was very puzzled, the General Staff had been replaced, and there were many strangers, which made Cheng Jialong realize that there must have been a huge change in the Ning Navy.
Li Xin was originally depressed, because of his idea, let Zhou Ning go to work, let Meng En completely leave the power center of the Ning Navy, it is said that he will be transferred to Wusongkou in the future, although his rank has not changed, but leaving the center of the Ning Navy, it means that it will be difficult to come back.
Li Xin hesitated, but before he could speak, Chen Guodong told Cheng Jialong, and he told Cheng Jialong how Meng En advised Cheng Shijie and how he angered Cheng Shijie, including Zhou Ning and Zhang Yu's reversal, and Meng En's assignment.
Cheng Jialong muttered: "You guys are so stupid, he doesn't want to be the emperor, I want to be, my father just wants to be Cao Cao!" ”
Li Xin's eyes lit up, and he finally understood the problem now.
I wonder why Cao Cao didn't become the emperor back then?
Some people say that there is too much internal opposition? This is actually, who doesn't want it from the dragon's work? Xun Yu only represents a small group of people, and the most critical problem is that Cao Cao has not passed his own level.
Cao Cao was actually a Han minister all his life, especially when he was young, his goal was very clear, that is, to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, eradicate traitors for the country, and achieve himself.
But with the development of events, the Han Dynasty has been out of control, warlords everywhere are divided, disputes continue, I dare not say how noble Cao Cao's motives are, but it is not so despicable, things are done step by step, Cao Cao must have survived first, and when he finally unified the north and survived among the heroes, Cao Cao's heart began to slowly change.
No one is bad from the beginning, Cao Cao finally failed to make the decision to be the emperor, which has a lot to do with his experience, after all, he has been calling himself Hanchen for decades, and when he is old, he suddenly wants to usurp the throne, and the entanglement and contradiction in his heart is very complicated.
Of course, Cheng Shijie's reluctance to be the emperor is actually directly related to his character, he knows that once he takes that step, he will never want to leave the palace for the rest of his life, he can only become a puppet of power. He knows that the hearts of the Ming people have always been there, don't look at how slandered the Ming Dynasty is in the history books, in fact, until the end of the Qing Dynasty, the resistance against the restoration of the Qing Dynasty has been continuous.
In Cheng Shijie's heart, Da Ming is sacred, Da Ming is the white lotus in Cheng Shijie's heart, he can tolerate his own self-respect for his own rights, but he is not allowed to destroy the white lotus in his heart.
With Cheng Jialong's words, Li Xin suddenly brightened.
That's right, Cheng Shijie doesn't want to be the emperor, but Cheng Jialong does.
Cheng Jialong is Cheng Shijie's eldest son, and he has a natural reason to inherit everything from Cheng Shijie, including the army, as well as property and status. The most important thing is that Cheng Jialong is not pedantic, he seems to have been influenced by Cheng Shijie and is willing to accept Ning Haijun's current system.
"Li Xin meets the young master!"
Li Xin did not shy away from Chen Guodong, he knew that Chen Guodong would definitely report to Cheng Shijie, so he would throw stones to ask for directions and see Cheng Shijie's attitude.
