The same thing, from different angles have different views, in the eyes of Chen Guodong and almost everyone in the world, Wu Chongming is a scumbag, he betrayed Wu Xiang, and betrayed Gao Di, who had the grace to promote him, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a slave with three surnames.

However, in Wu Chongming's eyes, he himself is right, standing upright, worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of Li Rusong, and even more worthy of Li Ruzhen, as for Wu Xiang and Gao Di, they are all a fart.

Wu Chongming and most of the military generals of the Ming Dynasty are two extremes, he only takes a share of the income due to him as a general of the Guanning Army, these incomes he did not use to support his family Ding Bing, nor did he buy real estate in Tuntian, but gave birth to nine sons, the eldest son is one year older than Wu Sangui, born in the thirty-fifth year of Wanli (1607), the youngest son Wu Zhaoshou was born in Chongzhen four years, and is now five years old.

When he learned that Cheng Shijie wanted to see him, he asked Lu Xiangsheng to directly take his wife, three concubines, nine sons and six daughters, together with three younger brothers, younger brothers-in-law, and nephews and nieces, a total of 35 people to the capital.

On the official road to the capital, the original rugged official road has been renovated, even if you sit in an ordinary carriage, it is not too bumpy, of course, Wu Chongming is a military general, he rides a war horse, facing the future, if you want to say that you are not worried, it is definitely impossible.

Cheng Shijie has become the regent of the Ming Dynasty in just five or six years, and many people envy Cheng Shijie's luck, however, as a military general, Wu Chongming knows the hardships involved. To say that in the group of Guan Ningjun, there are really many generals who can fight.

To calculate carefully, Sun Yuanhua is also from the Guan Ning Army, as well as Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji, Zhao Shujiao, Man Gui, etc., there are really a lot of generals who can fight, but no one has mixed Cheng Shijie's achievements, it can be said that Sun Yuanhua should be regarded as the best one in the Guan Ning Army so far, and now he has become the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department and the governor of Nanzhili.

But Cheng Shijie relied not only on being able to fight, but also on being very daring to work hard, just like when Cheng Shijie was suppressed by Sun Yuanhua, he only had more than 2,000 people in his hands, he dared to launch a counterattack against Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, and successfully took Dengzhou and won the success of the Dengzhou mutiny.

Although this incident was not recorded in the documents of the imperial court, however, those who should know the truth have already known it, which is for more than 90% of the generals, they will choose to accept their fate, but Cheng Shijie did not accept his fate, but fought back angrily.

Even if Ren took advantage of the efforts to quell Kong Youde's rebellion, in fact, because he tore his face with Sun Yuanhua, Shandong would not have a foothold for Cheng Shijie, even if Prime Minister Sun Yuanhua could take a boat in his belly and not worry about Cheng Shijie, but the problem is that some people want to curry favor with Sun Yuanhua and clean up Cheng Shijie.

In this case, Cheng Shijie is also in a situation of nine deaths, but the problem is that Cheng Shijie once again took the risk, led his subordinates to cross eastern Liaonan, and entered Liaodong can be said to be Cheng Shijie's best move, not only avoiding Sun Yuanhua's influence forces, but also because of his success, Sun Yuanhua had to support him.

Because the recovery of Liaodong is Sun Yuanhua's political demand, in the face of this temptation, let alone just a contradiction, even if Cheng Shijie pinched Sun Yuanhua's son to death, Sun Yuanhua had to pinch his nose and admit that those who become big things are not informal, Sun Yuanhua is a person who wants to succeed, and he has to let go of insignificant personal grievances.

Cheng Shijie succeeded......

Just when Wu Chongming was thinking about it, his eldest son Wu Zhaoren excitedly rode a horse to Wu Chongming: "Daddy, today is really a double happiness." ”

Wu Chongming frowned slightly and said, "Double happiness is coming? What's the joy?? ”

Wu Zhaoren said: "The soldiers over there in Shanhaiguan have begun to be reorganized, and the fifth brother has passed the selection of the Ning Navy and has now entered the Army University of the Ming Empire to study, is this a joy?" ”

Wu Chongming nodded: "Count the joy, what else is the joy?" ”

The Army University of the Ming Empire is the original Liaodong Army Military Academy, and it is also the only way for the promotion of officers of the Ning Navy, which is mainly divided into two branches: lieutenant officers and school officers, but now it has opened a senior general command college, which means that Wu Zhaoxin will become a lieutenant as long as he graduates from the Army University.

It can be said that entering the Army University is equivalent to stepping into the ranks of officers with one foot.

Wu Zhaoren continued: "Listening to the news from that side, Daddy is going to reuse it this time!" ”

"Reuse?"

"Is the information reliable?"

"It shouldn't be bad, I heard that the regent decided!"

Hearing this news, Wu Chongming was overjoyed, since the Ning Navy and Jiannu were carried out, and the Jiannu army was completely destroyed, the situation in the world has become clear.

Clear-eyed people have already seen that unless Cheng Shijie and Huang Taiji decide the winner, there must be a lot of people in the world, and if it is not a quick decision, there are more variables.

Cheng Shijie now controls Liaodong and Liaoxi, and recovers Northern Zhili, and his sphere of influence extends to Shandong and Henan. In terms of territory, Liaodong is the largest piece, especially Liaodong, which has long replaced Jiangnan and become the richest place in the world. From the beginning of the Funing Army and Tianjin Sanwei to be absorbed by Cheng Shijie, Cheng Shijie did not use the generals of the Funing Army and Tianjin Sanwei, nor did he use the generals of the Guanning Army in western Liaoning.

Some of the generals who were retained, such as Xie Zhiliang, Xie Shangkui, Zu Dabi, and Lu Xiangsheng, were all people who did not have the stain of defecting to the enemy, and only they had the stain of defecting to the enemy. This is actually a weather vane.

Just when Wu Chongming went to the capital full of joy, the news that Shanhaiguan changed hands within a day also spread, and the court did not explain in detail how Shanhaiguan changed hands, of course, this matter did not make any waves in the capital, in the eyes of civil and military officials, this is normal.

The general in charge of the Shanhaiguan offensive is Lu Xiangsheng, plus four brigades with more than 80,000 elites, nearly 200 land artillery pieces, such a powerful strength to fight a defeated general who is guarding Shanhaiguan.

The center of the imperial court was very calm, but the people could not be calm, and the news of the Ming army's capture of Shanhaiguan within a day spread like wings, and the cheers of the entire capital "Long live" rose and fell, wave after wave.

In other words, the Ming army sent back such a good news, and the common people must have suspected that those stinky Qiu Ba had lied about their war exploits again, but they would not have the slightest doubt about this good news, because it was the Ning Navy that fought Shanhaiguan, the strongest soldier in the world!

It's not surprising that this team has played an exaggerated result, and if it doesn't win, it's news! But even so, the capture of Shanhaiguan in one day still made the people excited, and they said: "This is the real strong army!" Such an army is worthy of being called the Son of Heaven Yulin! If Lord Chongzhen was willing to use the Ning Navy earlier, how could Daming have such a catastrophe! ”

The news quickly spread to the entire Beizhili, and the common people were surprised and encouraged, saying that they did not expect the army of the imperial court to be so strong, and with such strong troops guarding the border passes, the Ming Dynasty would definitely be able to clear the four seas and all countries to come to court.

Only those who have experienced the war know the value of peace, the people of the Ming Dynasty have experienced a terrible war, and the doom of almost losing the country still makes them shudder, because of this, they have become more and more deeply aware that the victory or defeat of the original army at the border pass is so important to them, which has never been done before.

However, when the news reached Nanjing, the reaction was not quite the same. Zhu Yihai, the Hongguang Emperor who was unlucky enough to fall to his grandmother's house and was forced to the throne by the ministers to become a puppet, turned pale with horror when he learned the news, and his soul was not possessed, and he muttered: "Was Shanhaiguan broken in one day?" How many days can Nanjing resist? Heaven is lonely, heaven is lonely! ”

Zhou Yanru, Ruan Dacheng, Ma Shiying and other ministers are even more earthy.

Shanhaiguan is still vulnerable in front of the Ning Navy, how many days can Nanjing resist? Nanjing's city wall is far less solid than Shanhaiguan's, Nanjing's weapons and grain reserves are far less than Shanhaiguan's sufficient, Nanjing's soldiers, forget it, anyone who knows a little bit about military affairs does not think that those soldiers guarding the Nanjing city wall are soldiers!

The army of the Northern Ming Dynasty is pressing forward step by step, and its own internal and external troubles are in danger, and this situation has simply reached the point of despair!

Ruan Dacheng mustered up the courage and said, "Why don't you ...... Moving the capital? Move to a more robust city......"

Sun Yuanhua, the secretary of the Ministry of War, asked sharply: "Where to move?" ”

Ruan Dayue was speechless.

is different from Sun Yuanhua, Sun Yuanhua and Cheng Shijie have incense no matter what they say, even if Sun Yuanhua is an official in Nanming, the official residence is a product, and the superintendent is still the secretary of the military department, but the problem is that Sun Yuanhua's three sons, the eldest son and Ding, the second son and son Hedou, and the third son and Sun Hejing all stay in Liaodong, and the eldest son is currently a member of the Jinzhou Executive Committee, and in Daming, he belongs to the officials at the level of Wanping Zhixian in Beijing. The second son and grandson Hedou worked as a teaching assistant at Liaodong University, and he belonged to the doctor of Guozijian or Taixue in Daming.

Although the official position is not high, the problem is that everyone is a descendant of the Ning Navy.

Even if Nanjing is beaten down by Cheng Shijie, Cheng Shijie will settle accounts after the autumn like Beijing officials, no matter how he calculates, he can't count Sun Yuanhua's head. Even if Cheng Shijie comes, he will say in the face of Sun Yuanhua: "Chuyang Gong!" ”

Sun Yuanhua naturally didn't want to move the capital.

But the problem is that Nanjing is not suitable as a capital, and it has never been. Nominally, the city has the Yangtze River to rely on, which sounds good, but the problem is that for the enemy army with a strong naval division, Nanjing is not an insurmountable moat, but a smooth road!

However, the naval division of the Ning Navy is stronger than the army, with more than 200,000 strong soldiers and more than 3,000 warships, Zheng Zhilong, who has held out in front of the Ning Navy for less than a year, Xiao Ri was rubbed on the ground by a partial division of the Ning Navy, and now the daimyo in various places in Xiao Ri have either been caught and killed or tattooed on their bodies, indicating that they have nothing to do with the daimyo in various places.

It is said that now the warships of the Ning Navy have sailed to Sumatra, showing off their might, if the Ning Navy goes upriver from the Yangtze River, who can resist?

Furthermore, if you want to hold the Yangtze River defense line, you must hold Huaibei, otherwise the Yangtze River defense line is useless and meaningless, but now Huaibei is in the hands of the original Dashun army, and later they were reorganized by Cheng Shijie, so to speak, now the middle and lower reaches of the Huai River are in the hands of Cheng Shijie.

The so-called Yangtze River natural insurance does not have any defensive significance at all because it lacks a vital corner! What else is there to say? Wait to be pounded!

But even so, Nanjing is still the strongest city in the south of the Yangtze River, or it is the only city in the south of the Yangtze River that has been operated as a military fortress, and the rest of the cities like Hangzhou, Suzhou, Jiaxing, Changzhou, Yangzhou, etc. are similar to Liuli, which looks beautiful, but it is extremely fragile, and they can be crushed with a single blow! If Nanjing can't hold it, then other cities can't hold it, and even if they want to move the capital, they won't have a place to annihilate!

The idea of moving the capital didn't work, Ruan Dacheng planned to retreat, but Sun Yuanhua didn't plan to let him get out so easily, this military secretary was murderous, and bowed his hand to Zhu Yihai and said: "Your Majesty, Ruan Dacheng is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he retreated before he saw the shadow of the enemy, and the words of moving the capital hurt the morale of the people!" Please beg this fang to deter those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and to boost the morale of the army! ”

Ruan Dacheng scolded in his heart, Lao Tzu just wanted to save his life, there was no need to kill him, right? If Lao Tzu had a relationship like Sun Yuanhua, Lao Tzu could also stand and talk without backache.

However, Nanming's political system is the same as before, even if he is impeached as a cabinet deputy and a minister, he also needs to defend himself, but Sun Yuanhua actually hates Ruan Dayue very much, because he didn't want to be the secretary of the military department, and Nanzhili is now renamed the governor of Zhili, because he has long wanted to go to Liaodong and take refuge under Cheng Shijie.

Although Cheng Shijie is his protégé, the problem is that his teacher did not persist last winter and has passed away, without the protection of his teacher Xu Guangqi, his relationship with Cheng Shijie is not as close as outsiders see, and now if the soldiers do not bring down Ruan Dayue with blood, presumably Cheng Shijie will be happy.

So, Sun Yuanhua's words were like knives, and the two sides had a fierce confrontation, Sun Yuanhua seemed to have become the spokesperson of Cheng Shijie in the Southern Ming Dynasty.

As more and more people were involved, everyone quarreled in front of the emperor and the first assistant, of course, the content of their quarrel had nothing to do with the current situation, so naturally don't expect them to come up with any ideas that can resolve the current crisis.

Even if it reaches the point where he may die at any time, the country will be destroyed, and the capital division will be suspended, the Donglin Party's crazy nature of fighting to the death and infighting without a lower limit still cannot be changed, as long as there is an opportunity, they will try their best to fight.

Zhu Yihai coldly watched these so-called courtiers arguing in front of him over a trivial matter, and wanted to cry from the bottom of his heart.

Being forced to be this emperor is sad enough, and there are such a group of ministers who love to die, my God, can you be more ruthless? He looked at Zhou Yanru, this guy is also the first assistant of the small court in Nanjing, why don't you come out to take care of it?

However, Zhou Yanru looked at him with a pleading face, as if he wanted him to open his mouth to stop the quarrel, although he was the teacher of Zhang Pu, the leader of the Donglin Restoration Society, but the Donglin Party didn't seem to buy his account, he couldn't control this group of guys who had exhausted their discipline and had no way to fight against the enemy, so he could only hope that the emperor could play a role.

Anyway, your old man is also the son of heaven, and his words should always be more effective than mine, so you can open Chrysostom once to stop them!

looked at each other, and for a moment, there was a feeling of sympathy between the monarchs and ministers.

I don't know if it's a feng shui problem, for more than two thousand years, but all the regimes in Nanjing Dingdu, most of them love to die, the Eastern Jin Dynasty established the capital in Nanjing, and this regime is simply the ancestor of the death world, so that all capable ministers are eager to personally lead troops into Nanjing.

At that time, it was called Jiankang, there was the rebellion of the great general Wang Dun in the past, and the rebellion of Su Jun in the back, and the emperor was scared to death by life, which is strange enough, right? Liu Song, who usurped the Jin Dynasty and stood on his own, also had no lower limit for death, and the founding monarch Liu Yu was still a wise king, and his son Liu Yilong was a big difference, and he couldn't look at it in the future.

followed by Nanliang, for the sake of a Xiao Yuanmingsheng, the Hou Jing Rebellion was rectified, and the densely populated and economically developed Jiangnan was transformed into a barren countryside, and there were no people for thousands of miles; followed by Hou Chen, "The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the flower of the backyard across the river" is what he said.

Then until the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, it finally reached the highest state of death: hundreds of thousands of militiamen on both sides of the Huai River, of course, these militias are more tiger wolves than the army of tigers and wolves, they can't wait to go south immediately, in fact, Cheng Shijie does not need to mobilize elite troops to go south, he only needs to give Song Xiance an order, and Song Xiance can pull up another two or three hundred thousand horses in Jianghuai at any time.

Just when the gun was about to be on the top of his head, Nan Ming's side was still fighting infighting, wantonly rejecting dissidents, and even for his own selfishness, he could organize an army of more than 100,000 to raze his own military town, which really made the world stunned!

Looking through history, it is not difficult to see that the city of Nanjing is really not suitable as the capital, and there will definitely be big problems when building the capital here.

Of course, Cheng Shijie did not go south, his biggest problem now is to carry out land reform, only by completing the land reform, Beizhili and the entire north can be transformed into his help, if this problem is not solved, it will be a big problem.

But the problem is that the problem Cheng Shijie faces is not small, first of all, Cheng Shijie is now the regent of the Ming Dynasty, and he must admit that everything in the Ming Dynasty can be changed, but it cannot be completely overthrown.

Just like the land problem, although during the founding of the country, Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty had divided the fields, but people are different, the same is the same village farming, the same weather, but the problem is that some people plant land better than others, each mu more than a bucket, accumulate a lot, will slowly make a fortune.

One-size-fits-all is not the answer to the problem (end of chapter)
