Chapter 10: Destiny?
Back to Beijing!
On the way back to Beijing, Wang Dou successively dismissed the elite soldiers of Xuanfu back to Xuanfu, and the 9,000 Jiading also sent 6,000 people back, and when he came to the foot of the Son of Heaven, there were only 3,000 Jiading left around him.
On this day, Emperor Chongzhen, regardless of the opposition of others, personally led hundreds of civil and military officials, went out of the city for ten miles to greet him, sealed Xiahou, and matched the princess.
Even according to the grapevine, Chongzhen also personally said before leaving Beijing that the current Ming Dynasty is a critical node, and there will be two hundred years of national fortune in the past, and if you can't get by, Chongzhen will not have 20 years.
Wang Dou is very sincere!
He didn't lead the army to force the palace!
Chongzhen was also very sincere, and on the third day of Wang Dou's return, he married the princess, and on the fifth day, despite the opposition of the ministers, he pulled Wang Dou as the secretary of the military department.
Although he is only a secretary of the Ministry of War, he is not a cabinet minister, let alone the first assistant of the cabinet, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Wang Dou will definitely be the first assistant of the cabinet in the future!
Chongzhen once again showed his sincerity, and Wang Dou began to show sincerity in disguise.
Today's Wang Dou and Chongzhen are like two guys doing business, you take a step back, I take a step back, both sides want to cooperate, but they are afraid of each other, so they can only cooperate step by step, so that it looks more like a monarch and a minister.
You give a step, I give a step.
But in any case, the overall harmony is quite harmonious.
As the secretary of the military department, Wang Dou also began to do things.
He restructured the military department, changing the inheritance of civilian checks and balances on military attachés. It also changed the tradition of eunuchs supervising the army, but at the same time, he set up the Logistics Department and the Staff Department.
Among them, the logistics department is served by civil officials, eunuchs, and brocade guards, and is responsible for logistics-related matters such as salaries and armor. The General Staff Division is responsible for formulating various plans.
Through the construction of the system, only 1,000 soldiers were left in the hands of the army that could be directly controlled by the general soldiers, and the rest of the soldiers were controlled by the imperial court through various means such as logistics control.
Even the elite soldiers of Xuanfu are no exception!
At this point, three years have passed since that war.
Wang Dou proved with iron-like facts that he had no intention of rebellion.
Chongzhen's sincerity also followed.
Wang Dou enters the cabinet!
The four words "out of the general" have directly become the most popular words in the capital.
At the same time, Chongzhen was promoted to the Duke of Xia on the grounds of Wang Dou's deep merits!
Rest with the country, hereditary replacement, Xia Guogong!
There is the beauty of uniforms, and there is the summer of etiquette!
The title of Duke Xia is enough to prove Chongzhen's trust and expectations for Wang Dou, and Wang Dou is also very satisfied with this, as a traverser, he only feels that his life has reached the peak at this moment!
Although he is not yet the first assistant of the cabinet, he is the Duke of Xia, and the current cabinet chief assistant is a head lower than him, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes the first assistant.
You know, he is only in his thirties this year, and he is in his thirties as a scholar of the military department and a member of the Cabinet University, what else do you want?
......
Late at night, inside the Xia Gong's mansion, Wang Dou looked at the desk in front of him and fell into deep thought.
Tomorrow I will be a member of the Cabinet University, and I will carry out deeper reforms. According to his own will, he will paint at will on the landscape painting of Daming.
Xia Gong!
Xia Gong!
Xia Gong!
At this moment, Wang Dou's heart is satisfied, and there is nothing more proud in life than this!
In the case of not rebelling and becoming an emperor, this moment may already be the ultimate in what can be done.
But what Xia Gong, who was full of how to reform, how to expand the amount of bread, and how to skillfully cut meat, did not expect that the civil officials were also very excited tonight.
"Husband, I heard that civil officials have been more and more active recently, you have to be careful. ”
Listening to the princess's concerned words, Wang Dou smiled slightly, very disapproving: "Xiucai has not rebelled for ten years, and those civil officials are very powerful, and in front of the knife handle, they are nothing." As long as Your Majesty and I work together, then they can't do anything!"
"But what you say also makes sense, then tomorrow I will knock and beat them to make them settle down. Wang Douman said indifferently.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty was crippled by him, but he was just a civil official, so what could he do?
Even considering the efforts of civil officials, it is better to think about how to better reform, how to renew the life of the Ming Dynasty, and how to make the Han family continue the world for another three hundred years!
......
In a study somewhere, a group of unsavory civil servants began a gathering again, but this time there were very few people participating.
"I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup he poured into His Majesty, which made His Majesty trust him so much, and really made him a cabinet scholar, it seems that the old man, the first assistant, will not be able to be for long. ”
"Hehe, just look at Xia Gong's actions, the restructuring of the military department, without weakening the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, so that the generals cannot directly control the army, with such a system, since then the rebellion of the martial arts has become very small. Xia Gong took the lead in dispersing the elite soldiers of Xuanfu to the nine sides and scattered to the south, and the 15,000 families in their heyday are now only 3,000, isn't such a loyal minister enough?"
"Yes, if you don't like it, if I were Your Majesty, I would also like such a loyal minister, not to mention that it is still Weng's son-in-law, and the family is a family!"
"Yes, in the three-year career of the military department, he has refined at least 200,000 elite soldiers for Daming, and the warlords of Liaodong have also been wiped out by him, the barbarians in the south have been suppressed, and even the Haikou has stopped a lot, all of which prove that this Xia Gong has administrative ability, is a real civil and martial arts, martial arts can quell rebellions, and cultural can reform and restructure, he is qualified to serve as a cabinet scholar!"
Hearing everyone's ridicule, the cabinet chief didn't care, but looked at them with wide eyes and waited for them.
I just kept silent.
It was cold for a while.
"That's it, everyone is here today for the same purpose, and everyone's losses in the past few years are not small, right?"
"Drifting is gone, since Xia Gong took Jinyi Wei and the family to raid the heads of the officials one by one, the drift is gone. In the past, the military salary of one million taels of silver issued by the court was only 800,000 taels when it left the treasury. When they arrived at the place, there were only 600,000 taels left. When it came to the soldiers, there were only 100,000 taels or 200,000 taels left. ”
"But now all this is gone, and there is no silver or two! Up and down the court, there is a lot of hatred for Xia Gong. ”
"Princess Xia Zhang Haihai advocated opening the sea, and almost all the high-level scholars in the south disagreed. The millions of people involved in the Cao Yun system are also not satisfied. ”
The old man did not oppose it for the sake of opposition, but for the consideration of millions of people related to Caoyun, he opposed Xia Gong.
"Xia Gong opened a lot of salt factories near Beihai, where the salt quality is excellent, the amount is huge, such as the largest number of private salt in the middle of the world, Yangzhou salt merchants have been washed out of half, this is to compete with the people for profit!"
Scholars, you said a word, just to tell Wang Dou's crimes, I talked for half an hour, and then listed Wang Dou's forces, and then fell silent.
"Your Majesty has a lot of trust in Xia Gong, as long as Your Majesty still trusts Xia Gong, we have no choice. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty is in one day, and Xia Gong is invincible, but what if Your Majesty is gone?"
This night, the undercurrent is surging!
After dawn, Wang Dou went to the palace in an excited mood and became a member of the cabinet of scholars.
On this day, Chongzhen fell into the water and fell unconscious!
On this day, Wang Dou hurried to the palace and saw Chongzhen who was unconscious.
A few days later, Chongzhen returned to the light and ordered Wang Dou to be the minister and the prince, and Wang Dou went to the palace late at night, wanting to honor the edict.
But he never came back!
However, as a traverser, Wang Dou has always left a way back for himself, especially after Chongzhen fell into the water, he was even more vigilant to the extreme.
It's a pity that he still overestimated the bottom line of the civil officials.
However, although Wang Dou did not return, under the leadership of his loyal subordinates, the princess, her son, and daughter successfully used the tunnels to escape from Beijing City, return to Xuanfu, and return to Shunxiang Fort.
After he became the prince of the country, the hundreds of square kilometers of Shunxiangbao became his fiefdom, where there were 3,000 families loyal to him!
There are hundreds of thousands of people who are loyal to him!
On the second day, the four gates of the capital were closed, and the whole city was covered by the Jinyi Guard, whether it was the scholar or the scholar, or the high-ranking noble, all of them were broken in, carefully searched, and not let go of a corner!
A few days later, after learning that the princess could not be caught and Wang Dou's son could not be found, the high-level leaders finally determined the cause of Wang Dou's death.
If the princess is caught and the roots are successfully eradicated, then Wang Dou is the mastermind of Emperor Chongzhen's overboard, the purpose is to seize the world, and the specific actions can refer to Yang Jian.
Didn't Yang Jian take over the Yuwen family back then?
Don't say it's impossible!
Everyone is dead, can they still jump out and confront each other?
But I didn't catch it, so it's a pit!
So, Xia Gong died in the assassination of Houjin!
It's the conspiracy of the Houjin chieftain Huang Taiji!
Huangtaiji, who is thousands of miles away: Meow meow?
The new emperor Zhu Cihong ascended the throne within a few days, and after the princess went to Shunxiang Fort, it was already the tenth day after the new emperor ascended the throne.
At this moment, the news that Chongzhen died in the water and that Xia Gong died in the assassination of Huangtaiji has been made public and announced to the world.
"It's over, Daming is over. Xiaomeng said helplessly.
Thinking about Wang Dou's crossing, but she handled it single-handedly, and the memories from the future in Wang Dou's mind were also decided by her after thinking about it carefully.
Every piece of future knowledge has a big role to play. But now he is dead, under the intrigue.
"This Ming Dynasty's luck is one percent in Emperor Chongzhen, three percent in the imperial court, and fifty percent in Xia Gong. Now Xia Gong is violent, Chongzhen is violent, and there is endless fighting in the court......" Speaking of this, Changmei also shook his head.
Although all along, his image has been quite cold. But those who know him know that he is actually a very good man!
(Deng Yin scolded and quit to the live broadcast room...... )
Chongzhen fell into the water, Xia Gong died violently, and when the princess came to Shunxiang Fort with Wang Dou's son, Xuanfu entered a semi-independent state.
If this is the end of the moment, in fact, under the taboo of both sides, the Ming Dynasty will continue to exist.
Wang Dou's eldest son is only two years old this year, and Wang Dou's eldest son is only eight years old this year.
So the princess doesn't want to go to war directly with the court at the moment.
In the same way, Zhu Cihong, the new monarch, didn't want to deal directly with Wang Dou's son and his sister, he was also afraid that if the car overturned, what would he do if he was sidelined by Qingjun?
But a lot of times things don't go according to people's ideas.
The civil officials, especially those who secretly made Chongzhen fall into the water, and the civil officials who let Wang Dou die violently, do not want Wang Dou's son to continue to live!
If Wang Dou's son lives for a day, it will be impossible for them to live with peace of mind!
Therefore, under the planning of the civil officials, only half a year later, the imperial court took action against the entire Xuanfu Town.
This battle is somewhat similar to the battle of Zhu Yunwen against Zhu Di many years ago, when the imperial court sent troops to fight against rebellion, but the army was unwilling to fight.
The imperial court easily mobilized an army of 100,000, and Xuanfu Town was temporarily recruited by the princess with 8,000 families and 50,000 troops.
That's three years!
Three years later, the Xuanfu was destroyed, the princess committed suicide, and Wang Dou's son was betrayed by traitors and died on the way to escape.
However, Huangtaiji, who had retreated for more than six years, seized the opportunity and decisively entered the customs after the defeat of the Ming army and the Xuanfu.
Even in order to enter the customs, he directly accepted the Han people, so that the Han people also became a member of the Manchu people. From then on, there is only one Eight Banners, no one Eight Banners, no Han Eight Banners, and Eight Banners of Mongolia!
The capable go up, the mediocre go down!
As soon as the internal strife in the Ming Dynasty ended, the national strength was consumed, and the army also resumed the old way of civilian commanding military generals, and the military generals once again separated from the imperial court.
However, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was one from top to bottom, regardless of men, women, old and young, shouting the slogan of entering the customs in unison, which can be regarded as a rainbow of morale.
And this year happens to be the seventeenth year of Chongzhen!
After going around for so long, everything is back to square one again!
It's still the seventeenth year of Chongzhen!
This year is full of clearance!
This year, Beijing fell!
It's just that this time it is no longer Emperor Chongzhen who hangs on the crooked neck tree, but his son Zhu Cihong!
In a circle, history is back on its track.
At this moment, a large amount of information was sent back to Xianyang, and Ying Ziqi also continued to upload analysis results one by one, while Han Feizi took many mathematicians, logicians, sociologists and even psychologists to analyze these materials from all aspects.
Analyze why Destiny is the way it is!
Obviously, everything is so smooth, everything is good at the beginning, it is clear that the monarch and the ministers get along, the emperor trusts the courtiers, and the courtiers trust the emperor, but suddenly he loses!
Why is that?
Why?
Ying Zheng also wants to ask why!
At this moment, dozens or hundreds of reasons naturally appeared in his heart, but he was not satisfied with any of them!
Wang Dou is too naïve?
Chongzhen is too naïve?
No, no, no, it's certainly not the real reason.
Natural disasters?
Or is this destiny?
Can't really change it?
"Xiaomeng?"
"Ahh ”
"Let Wang Dou see his fate clearly, and after seeing the later history clearly, he will be reborn again! I want to see what this so-called destiny is!"
