Chapter 78 Who to send to Liaodong?
Sun Yunhe said quickly: "Yes, Governor!" At the same time, he turned to his subordinates and ordered: "Wake him up and punish him severely!"
Dongchang is trying the case intensively, but the Donglin Party is extremely anxious.
Originally, the Donglin Party members thought it was a good opportunity to overthrow Wei Zhongxian, and they could even take the opportunity to overthrow Xiong Tingbi and take back Liaodong.
Now it seems that this is not the case at all. People like myself have fallen into Wei Zhongxian's plan.
Under such circumstances, self-protection has become the most difficult thing at the moment.
Everyone in the imperial court knows that His Majesty is not willing to listen to people like himself, especially after Wei Zhongxian dedicated the Qingyun Sect's demonic path.
No, here Wei Zhongxian is cruelly persecuting everyone, and over there that demon is dragging His Majesty into seclusion.
Moreover, His Majesty actually saw no one, so it was obvious that Wei Zhongxian and that evil spirit jointly did this thing.
Zou Yuanbiao and Yang Lian were locked up at home, but people outside were trying to save them. Although they couldn't go to their homes, they must be rescued.
Because everyone knows that now is the time to work together in the same boat!
Once Zou Yuanbiao and Yang Lian fall, everyone is doomed.
This time it is a matter of life and death, no one dares to underestimate it.
There was a lot of commotion outside, but the palace was not affected too much. Zhu Youxiao saw no one, which made it impossible for people inside the palace to make trouble.
The emperor was in retreat, and the only person serving him was Chen Hong, and no one else. Even Wang An, the eunuch and eunuch in charge of the ceremony, could only stand aside.
The matter of selecting the queen in the palace is still going on, and Zhu Youxiao does not need to worry about all this.
Of course, there is still something that Zhu Youxiao needs to worry about. That is to determine the candidate for governor of Liaodong.
The governor of Liaodong, Xue Guoyong, died, and the court needed to appoint someone to go there, but Zhu Youxiao could not choose another Donglin Party member.
One Yuan Yingtai, one Wang Huazhen, and one Yuan Chonghuan, the three of them made Liaodong out of control, or in other words, a mess.
Although Yuan Chonghuan may not be as useless as Yuan Yingtai and Wang Huazhen, in fact, since he killed Mao Wenlong, the situation in Liaodong has indeed taken a turn for the worse.
Liaodong may still be able to hold on, but the consumption is too great. Liaodong has become a big hole in the Ming Dynasty's finances and cannot be filled at all.
Zhu Youxiao will never believe the Donglin Party's advocacy of recovering Liaodong. They just want to fight in Liaodong, want to recover Liaodong, and then embezzle Liaodong's military pay.
This matter was not a secret to begin with, but the original Emperor Tianqi didn't know about it. If Wang Huazhen hadn't turned to Wei Zhongxian, maybe the royal family still had no evidence.
They did not pay taxes themselves, embezzled military pay on Liaodong affairs, and colluded with Liaodong's border generals. They were corrupt from top to bottom and exploited the soldiers. Under such circumstances, if Liaodong could win the war, the slaves would be damned!
In Zhu Youxiao's view, it was too difficult to rectify Liaodong, and it was basically impossible to expect the Ming army in Liaodong to defeat Nurhachi.
As for cleaning up Liaodong, input and output are not directly proportional.
First of all, the soldiers in Liaodong had no fighting spirit, the civil servants only thought about corruption, and the people were miserable.
Solving these problems is definitely not something that can be done overnight.
Rather than spending a lot of time on this, it's better to start anew and wait until you have finished training your troops.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao's policy towards Liaodong is very simple, which is to maintain stability. As long as the status quo is maintained, being able to hold on is the greatest victory.
Therefore, when it comes to appointing the governor of Liaodong, the first choice is to select ministers who advocate defense, rather than those who shout to regain Liaodong.
Judging from the current situation in the Ming Dynasty, it is basically impossible to regain Liaodong. Therefore, calling out the person who regained Liaodong, whether it is really invisible or intentional, cannot be used.
It would be Zhu Youxiao's mercy not to drag this kind of person out and behead him!
Those who can't see it are stupid; those who can see it but don't say anything and shout to regain Liaodong, such people deserve to die!
Zhu Youxiao looked at the information in his hand, and here were all the qualified people he selected.
As for the list sent by the cabinet, Zhu Youxiao had already thrown it aside.
The purpose of that list is very simple, that is, to recommend Wang Huazhen.
It is impossible for this person to use it himself, and this time he will be implicated.
Now Wang Huazhen is the governor of Guangning. This guy is the vanguard of the Donglin Party in embezzling military pay in Liaodong. He has no moral integrity and can bite the Donglin Party back.
After searching for a long time, Zhu Youxiao finally selected a suitable person, and this person was Wang Xiangqian.
Different from Wang Huazhen, Wang Xiangqian is not a Donglin Party member, he is a Qi Party member. The most important thing is that he and Xiong Tingbi have the same idea. They both believe that the Liao people are unreliable and there is no need to rush to destroy the Jiannu. The Jiannu has become bigger and should be taken slowly.
It's a pity that his statement too much strengthened the ambitions of others and destroyed his own prestige. Compared with the rhetoric of the Donglin Party, Wang Xiangqian's statement was too low-level and could not confuse the emperor at all.
Therefore, this strategy has never become the mainstream of Ming Dynasty's strategy in Liaodong.
Historically, Wang Huazhen abandoned Guangning and fled, and the city was completely destroyed. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, men and women, begged to enter the customs, but the elephants refused to accept them, and their cries shook the valley.
On the third day of the review, Xiong Tingbi arrived. Xiang Qian opened and closed the door to welcome the soldiers and civilians, and planned military affairs with Tingbi.
From this, we can see that Wang Xiangqian and Xiong Tingbi have a good relationship, and Xiong Tingbi's arrogance and domineering are not reflected at all. It seems that Xiong Tingbi is only arrogant and domineering when facing the so-called gentlemen of the Donglin Party.
The governor of Liaodong will be replaced by Wang Xiangqian, and the governor of Guangning will also be replaced. Who will be replaced?
Zhu Youxiao quickly thought of someone, and this person was Wang Zaijin.
This is also an official who firmly advocates defense. He once said that there must be the power to restore the whole Liao Dynasty, and then Guangning can be restored; there must be the power to destroy the slaves, and then the whole Liao Dynasty can be restored. Otherwise, the Wusi War will be left behind. The situation cannot be solved and the supply that is difficult to continue must be exhausted, so we must not ignore it.
To put it bluntly, if we can regain the strength of the entire Liaodong, then we can attack Guangning. When we have the strength to destroy the Jiannu, then we can begin to attack the entire Liaoning. Otherwise, there is no need to start a war, which will only increase consumption.
At that time, Guangning had been lost, and Wang Zaijin felt that there were major hidden dangers in Shanhaiguan City itself.
He suggested that the important city be built. After the important city is built, Shanhaiguan Pass City can truly become a natural pass.
Paint the ground and build walls, build platforms and build strongholds,
Build barracks and set up mansions,
Divide your troops into formations, watch and help each other,
Heavy customs clearance,
Wei Shanhai,
To defend the capital.
In a word, I will build the city and defend it so that you can't get in. Then I will slowly accumulate strength. When I have enough strength, I will annihilate you in one fell swoop.
Wang's idea of being in Jin Dynasty was opposed by Yuan Chonghuan, the chief officer of Ningqian Bingbei, Shen Qi, the chief officer, and Sun Yuanhua, who praised painting.
Yuan Chonghuan asked to build it as far as Ningyuan, two hundred miles away, but Wang Zaijin refused to listen.
Yuan Chonghuan directly reported his opinions to the first assistant Ye Xianggao twice, but Ye Xianggao did not know the situation on the front line and could not make up his mind.
At this time, Sun Chengzong, a scholar in charge of the military affairs department, asked himself to go to Shanhaiguan in person.
After Sun Chengzong returned to Beijing, he reported to the king that he was not enough to take up his post in the Jin Dynasty. "His pen and tongue became more swift and sharp, but Shen Xiong's broadness failed", so he was appointed Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing.
