Chapter 151 Wang Shizhen
The dispute between Zeng Xian and Qiu Luan was actually a dispute between initiative between the three sides, and it can even be said to be a dispute between Xia Yan and Yan Song.
Zeng Xian impeached Qiu Luan, killed Liang and took advantage of his merits, embezzled military pay, and more than a dozen serious crimes. Qiu Yue also impeached Zeng Xian and falsely accused him of his crimes. However, Xia Yan almost slapped the table in front of His Majesty before he decided on this matter. Qiu Luan dismissed the Ningxia general from returning to his capital to live in leisure.
The previous article also introduced Qiu Luan,
The fact that Qiu Luan was able to make a fortune in the Jiajing Dynasty and become the leader of the nobles was to occupy a team in the great etiquette and become a noble force that Jiajing could trust.
From this perspective, Qiu Luan is not Yan Song's person, he just has an ally with Yan Song.
But if the general is outside, he wants to make achievements, so he naturally has no one who is not looking for help from the court. The relationship between Qiu Luan and Yan Song is like this.
But Qiu Luan is too unscrupulous.
Zeng Xian's charge of impeaching Qiu Luan can be said to be true. After all, Qiu Luan's faults can be said to be countless, and Zeng Xian was caught by Zeng Xian. But Zeng Xian is different. Whether Zeng Xian has any problems is not the case. How can people like Zeng Xian who want to do big things not pay attention to their feathers?
When Zeng Xian impeached Qiu Luan and Qiu Luan initiated a counter-attack, he did not catch Zeng Xian's handle for a while and could only fabricate some.
Of course, it can't be hidden from Emperor Jiajing's eyes.
Although Emperor Jiajing had a tendency to do political sway, he did not allow anyone from behind to fool him. His mere dismissal of Qiu Luan was already considering Qiu Luan's contribution to the great etiquette.
Yan Song launched an attack on Zeng Xian, not necessarily to take Zeng Xian, but it was just revenge.
The battle between two tigers has always been the main theme of the court today.
Wang Shizhen also had a bit of a storyteller style and said, "Altan couldn't capture it for a long time, so he stopped thinking about going south to the Great Wall. However, the colder it went north, and they camped within dozens of miles north of Yulin to spend the winter."
I don’t know if anyone cursed and said, “The Tartars are too arrogant.”
Many people nodded and said yes.
Maodong, a few dozen miles north of Yulin, did not take the Ming army seriously at all, and felt that the Ming army could not fight on the side walls.
Wang Shizhen said, "Yes, the Tartars are too arrogant, but now he can't be arrogant. On New Year's Eve, Governor Zeng appointed the generals, but he didn't expect that when the generals arrived, they did not see the banquet. Instead, they saw a map. Governor Zeng said without saying a word, "The generals obey the order. The soldiers divided into three groups and attacked the enemy camp."
"The generals were shocked and said one after another: The commander cannot be supervised, but now it is snowing heavily outside the pass, and the troops cannot move."
"Governor Zeng said: The Tartars cannot travel either. They only take dozens of miles. If they fly to the enemy camp overnight, the Tartars will be defeated."
"Everyone wants to persuade him again, Governor Zeng said: I have decided, and those who speak will be punished."
"Then he brought a group of people and came out of the pass to the enemy camp. But he saw heavy snow and the horse could not move. Governor Zeng led the way and led the horse. After walking all night, he arrived outside the Tartar camp, and there was no gap between the Tartars. Governor Zeng said: Who will break this camp with me?"
"A general jumped out and said: Xie Huan, the last general, was willing to die for the supervisor."
“------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wang Shizhen said it aroused, as if the battle on New Year’s Eve was really fought like this.
But Zhou Mengchen didn't believe it. Zhou Mengchen estimated that the battle report Wang Shizhen saw was only a few dozen words or hundreds of words. However, Wang Shizhen improvised it and wrote it into a perfunctory article. However, the general situation was consistent.
Zeng Xian’s battle must have been a sneak attack on the snowy night. It’s not easy to think about it.
Zhou Mengchen suddenly remembered that Xue Jiuxian was in Zeng Xian's army. I don't know what the situation was. What were the casualties in this battle? Can the soldiers receive timely treatment?
Just as Zhou Mengchen thought about Xue Jiuzhen.
Xue Jiuzhen doesn’t have time to think of Zhou Mengchen.
At this moment, he was taking many people to check the rounds. He carefully looked at the legs of a soldier and said, "Your legs can't be dragged anymore, you must be cut off, otherwise your life will not be saved."
Xue Jiuzhen also brought the regulations of some hospitals formulated by Zhou Mengchen in the army. Although the temporary field hospital cannot even be called a field hospital, it still played a huge role. However, Xue Jiuzhen did not expect that the most surgery he performed in the army was either an amputation surgery.
Especially after this battle,
The army set out on a snowy night, and a war lasted for several days before the troops were concluded. Many soldiers were frostbite. Severe frostbite often had no solution, or amputation was the best solution.
These things are not something that the juren sitting in the top scholar building can know.
Even Zhou Mengchen doesn't know about it now.
Wang Shizhen was really happy about this great victory and gave Xie Huan a lot of plots for a while. He said, "Altan was shocked. He didn't know where the enemy came from, how many people there were. He also heard that a large army came from on the river and did not dare to fight with the court. He crossed the river that day. However, the wintering livestock he brought could not be taken away, and was captured by the army."
"This is the first victory of this dynasty after the Heishui Victory. After this battle, there was no more Tartar in Hetao."
After hearing the familiar Hei Shui Victory, Zhou Mengchen suddenly remembered Liu Tianhe. He thought to himself: "If Mr. Liu is still there, he will definitely be very happy to hear this news. The Nine Borders of the Ming Dynasty are also one of the successors."
Many of the students were very happy. As they were talking, they heard Wang Shizhen cough twice and said, "Everyone, I have another good news. You can't imagine this news."
The juren said, "Don't talk nonsense, just say it quickly. At worst, we can just invite you to drink."
Wang Shizhen said: "Governor Zeng, after the good news, had a memorial, which has been sent to the Great Inner. But I heard that the contents were formally written to the court and requested a reconciliation."
"What?" Zhou Mengchen was shocked and couldn't help but scream.
Zhou Mengchen knew that Xia Yan would be killed by Yan Song, but he didn't know the specific time, but the incident itself had an impression. He had a vague impression and told him that Xia Yan died because of this reconciliation.
To be honest, Xia Yan can't talk well to Zhou Mengchen.
But Zhou Mengchen still didn't want Xia Yan to have such an end. It was not that Zhou Mengchen was tolerant of Xia Yan, but that he understood the inside story of the court's operation more and more, that is, the core figures of the current Ming Dynasty, not Emperor Jiajing, not Yan Song, but Xia Yan.
To be honest, Emperor Jiajing is gone. The court is still maintaining it. Once something happens to Xia Yan, the current situation in the court will be difficult to maintain.
Of course, this is not to say that Xia Yan is a talented person, but is forced by the times. If Jiajing continued to work as diligently as in the previous twenty years, Xia Yan would naturally not be able to bear this burden. It was Jiajing's invasion of politics, and Xia Yan was the most prestigious among the old ministers, and he had a little trust with Emperor Jiajing.
The current situation forced Xia Yan to this point.
Of course, the emergence of talents in the Ming Dynasty is not without people who can replace Xia Yan.
But there is only one person who can replace Xia Yan now, that is Yan Song.
This is another reason why Zhou Mengchen didn't want Xia Yan to die, that is, Yan Song's rise to power.
Speaking of which, Yan Shifan is still an acquaintance of Zhou Mengchen. Yan Song has cared for and won over Zhou Mengchen many times. However, Zhou Mengchen is still unwilling to join Yan Song's side. Although Zhou Mengchen has a bad impression of Yan Song's history, more importantly, Zhou Mengchen knows what kind of person Yan Song is.
Yan Song had no bottom line in front of the emperor. Emperor Jiajing was not a good bird, but an extremely selfish emperor. He always placed himself on the people of the world. Emperor Jiajing had a personality that needed a minister who could stop him like Xia Yan. If Yan Song was replaced, it was the beginning of the disaster in the world.
Moreover, the political pattern of the two tigers fighting each other was broken, which was not a good thing for Zhou Mengchen.
There were Yan Song and Xia Yan checks and balances between the outside court, so Zhou Mengchen would not have any trouble. Even if Xia Yan looked down on Zhou Mengchen and was even disgusted, he did not treat Zhou Mengchen. Is Xia Yan magnanimous? No, it’s because Xia Yan and Yan Song understand.
