Beiyang new warlord

This ruined Hong Chengchou's plan to attack again after a rest. Under this situation, the Ming army was no longer suitable for battle.

But under such circumstances, Hong Chengchou suffered the heaviest blow since leading the army this time.

On July [-]th, the gate of Ningyuan City.

Hundreds of soldiers pushed their wheelbarrows and continuously sprinkled the loess on the ground. Immediately afterwards, dozens of royal guards surrounded an eunuch and walked in on the loess on horseback.

Just after entering the city gate, Hong Chengchou had already brought all the generals of the north marching army and Qiu Minyang, the governor of Liaodong. He opened his robe and knelt down.

"Chen Hong Chengchou accepts the order!"

Watching him kneel down, followed by the two military supervisors, especially Zhang Ruolin's bearded mouth, a sudden smile erupted.

In the standard act of conveying the decree, the eunuch threw the dust fly on his shoulder, and the eunuch raised his orchid fingers, and read aloud in a sharp and piercing voice.

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor's edict said: Soldiers are murderous weapons, bravery is fierce virtue, and I don't want the mountains and rivers to be stained with blood, and go to war, but the barbarians bully me, despise my heavenly power, plunder my people, and rob my city. I have no choice but to fight against you." ! Send the general to ask for it for me!"

"Since the Liaozuo incident, Wang Shi has won many battles and victories repeatedly, and the thieves' hearts and livers have been broken. However, it has lasted for a long time, and the people were killed and injured. I really don't want to see it! I especially wrote Hong Qing's thunderous sweep of the acupoints to drive out the thieves with the force of Mount Tai. , to return to my border, I am looking forward to it in the capital, the jade seal is waiting to be sealed, I also hope that you will triumphantly come back as soon as possible, disarm and return, and educate the people for me and the people's livelihood!"

"Kin this!"

The eunuch was smiling all over his face, and the fat meat on his face drooped due to castration. However, in just a few seconds, beads of sweat the size of beans were continuously flowing down from Hong Chengchou's forehead, drop by drop. The loess below was all wet.

Hong Chengchou is also considered a rare political evergreen tree under Chongzhen. After Chongzhen took over from Yang He's team for three years, he was finally promoted to the position of governor of five provinces, so he knows Chongzhen too well.

Don't look at this imperial decree is not popular, it seems to have the meaning of praise, but through the imperial decree, Hong Chengchou seems to be able to faintly see the impatient expression on Chongzhen's old and haggard face.

It is estimated that it is the credit of the two supervising officers. While impeaching the Liao division for paying, they also exaggerated the achievements of these days and made the Qing army worthless.Not to mention Emperor Chongzhen's character, he was so happy and lacked a long-term heart. Just the pressure from both sides of the Huguang battlefield in Henan prompted him to change course.

The emperor is already impatient with the previously set battle strategy!

But I know that the Liaodong Army's consecutive victories this time around were based on the fact that the Qing army used its own weaknesses to attack its strengths. It was a defensive battle, and it was a small-scale contact. Arranged by his side, guarding the back road, the army was huddled into a group, with the tip of a needle against the wheat awning. Without the protection of the formation, the field battle was still the shortcoming of the Ming army, especially the lack of mobility, which was its fatal weakness.

Now is definitely not a good time for a decisive battle!

Can you fight against the emperor?My colleague Sun Chuanting is already a good example!If he didn't take any action this time, I'm afraid that the war has nothing to do with him and it will be light. In the place where Sun Chuanting squatted, he would have to carry his luggage and live in it.

"Master Hong?"

For a few seconds, Hong Chengchou didn't respond, and the eunuch who delivered the decree asked impatiently.

Suddenly regaining his senses, Hong Chengchou gritted his teeth and slammed his head on the ground.

"Minister Hong Chengchou, take the decree and thank you!"

After receiving the hot imperial decree, Hong Chengchou still had to follow the rules. A letter of silver sent the eunuchs and Jinyi guards who passed the decree to eat happily. Inside, the two superintendents also "disregarded the previous suspicions".As if seeing himself making great achievements and returning to the scene of being promoted to the third rank in the capital, Zhang Ruolin smiled all over his face, and hugged his fists at Hong Chengchou with a smile.

"Supervisor, you have made great achievements, and you are entrusted with the title of Marquis and Prime Minister. Congratulations!"

But he couldn't hold back his anger anymore, and gave him a hard look, Hong Chengchou flicked his sleeves, turned around and went back to the yamen with his hands behind his back!

Watching him leave in a daze, a group of generals also snorted contemptuously, and some spit in disdain, and were left behind in a blink of an eye. The two military supervisors also turned dark and cursed angrily.

"what!"

Mao Jue was completely ignorant of the great changes in Liaodong. After all, there were no telephones in this era. The news he got was still in the court battle report sent by Adelena thirteen days ago. The Qing army had suffered heavy losses in Dongjiang. According to Hong Chengchou This battle cannot be lost.

And the matter of Wa Kingdom has officially entered the final stage!With one last breath after work, he can go back to Dongjiang with peace of mind.

On the streets of Kyoto, there are still samurai with swollen faces, running back and forth, holding strings of men, women, old and young in their hands like grasshoppers tied with ropes.

This rebellion was not without its benefits. The daimyos who were involved with Kunimatsumaru were convicted, their territories were taken back, the family members of the criminal samurai were dismissed, and the civilians were made slaves. The vacated territories were distributed to the daimyos who took refuge in Dongjiang. What is immoral, all the peasants in the territory were expelled, and suddenly, more than [-] officials and slaves were added, and hundreds of thousands of people were displaced.

These people don't even have the qualifications to become refugees. Every day, Japanese slaves are sent to Noto in a steady stream, and then transported to Dongjiang by boat. For farmers, it is simply a shot in the arm!

The politics in Kyoto also began to stabilize. Although Mao Jue was exhausted, Yuan Chonghuan came out to pick peaches, but when he returned to work, he really shared most of Mao Jue's burden. Dozens of scholars from Jiangnan and Jiangbei defected to Dongjiang's command, and were incorporated into Sheguan as Mufu, Nianji and other positions. Dongjiang's control over the Toyotomi family and the Tokugawa family has become a bit stronger.

Mao Jue of Donglin Academy was not dismantled either. Amidst the clanging knocks, the statue of Zhu Zi erected by Kunimatsu Maru was removed and replaced by a statue of Lao Tzu, and a few teachings were severely warned. Confucianism can be taught, but The part of loyalty to the emperor must be weakened, and it should be brushed aside, while the loyalty and loyalty to the ruler must be strengthened, and it must be mixed with a lot of Huang Lao's learning, the rule of inaction!

The devils and aristocrats inside were chanting the mysteries of heaven and earth, the greatness of the universe, and Mao Jue, whose carriage was parked at the entrance of the academy, couldn't help showing a wretched smile.

The spiritual shackles that control the upper floors are also locked!

Just when he was fascinated by listening, there was a clear sound of horseshoes behind him, but the sound was full of shrewdness.

"Greetings Dong Weng! Go back to the Dong Weng Order and send out all the envoys to the daimyos and the Kanto governors. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has also started to make preparations. The silver and cloth are being distributed. According to the progress, before the daimyos arrive, they will be on time." Finish!"

I don't know if it was for business or for people, Mao Jue had a strong smile on the corner of his mouth, he was very polite, he even jumped out of the carriage, reached out and patted Zhang Huangyan's shoulder.

"Thank you, Cang Shui."

This is a big event, Yuan Chonghuan is finally getting married! Mao Jue's ultimate political construction is also taking shape!

According to the tradition of the Fusang samurai family, the female patriarch recruited a strong husband-in-law among the retainers, the family was stabilized, and everyone had a next generation who would continue to be loyal, and the Toyotomi family was naturally stabilized.

On the Dongjiang side, the blood of the Ming people has been injected into the ruling class of Fusang, and Yuan Chonghuan has completely integrated into the political center in a legitimate way. The control of Fusang is like buying an insurance, and not only now, but also in the next few hundred years, the upper class will be They are immigrants from China in the past, how can these little Japanese turn their faces and bite people, and collude with the American devils?The future is guaranteed!

The Wa country project is finally coming to an end!

And what excites Mao Jue is the handsome young scholar's staff in front of him. Although he is not gay, Zhang Huangyan's eyes are so hot that he looks like a gay guy, making Zhang Huangyan feel uncomfortable. He avoids Mao Jue with sweat on his back. A warm slap, a heavy fist.

"Dong Weng is too flattering to his subordinates! Doing things for Dong Weng should be a pity, but he still has not escaped Mao Jue's "claw". When he stretched out his hand and forced him into the carriage, Mao Jue asked with a smile.

"By the way, Cang Shui, I have always been curious, how did you convince such a stubborn Master Yuan!"

"Oh! This! Has Dong Weng ever heard of Chen Yizhong?"

Chapter 455

To be honest, almost everyone knows about Wen Tianxiang, but few people know about his contemporary Prime Minister Chen Yizhong. There is no way. Compared with the vigorous Wen Tianxiang, this Prime Minister Chen is really powerless. He is a famous escaped prime minister. Lu Xiufu led the last emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty to fight in Yashan. He fled to Siam in the name of asking for soldiers, and lived and died here.

But Chen Yizhong still did a good deed. It is said that he exchanged three cans of tea leaves and his own reputation for a port from the King of Siam, rescued a large number of Song people who were unable to escape, and became the ancestor of the Siamese Chinese in the future.

After Guomatsumaru's death, Yuan Chonghuan greatly wavered and denied the meaning of his life, thinking that he was unfaithful and filial, and violated the way of a sage, so he had the idea of ​​retiring, but Zhang Huangyan compared him to Chen Yizhong, even if If you can't save the dilapidated country, you have to do something anyway! If you defend the Wa country for Daming, isn't it considered a contribution and meaningful?

Today's Governor Yuan lacks such a personal goal in life. This persuasion can be regarded as a sudden enlightenment for him. Just as Mao Jue came back, he finally came out of the mountain again.

Even asking him to marry Chiyohime, he acquiesced indifferently.

This guy also has a clever mouth. Listening to Zhang Huangyan's explanation, Mao Jue nodded heavily like a loyal audience. He really is that person in history!

This is a big guy!

Speaking of Zhang Huangyan, not many people know about it, but when it comes to Yue Fei, he is not afraid of being broken into pieces in "Lime Yin", and he wants to stay innocent in the world! I am afraid that many people are familiar with the quatrain Yu Qian, and Zhang Huangyan is able to relate to this One of the three heroes of the West Lake who are on par.

This person is flexible and good at gathering people. In history, when Yingtian was captured, he persuaded several troops in the inevitable team to give up their lives and go north to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Strength, Lone Tree Zhitian for 20 years, finally Wu Sangui strangled Emperor Yongli with a bowstring in Burma, Taiwan's Zheng Chenggong also died suddenly of illness, he painfully admitted that the building had collapsed, reluctantly dismissed his subordinates, and was arrested the next year , was killed in Hangzhou by the Qing Dynasty.
