第三十三章                        回京

The battlefield that determines the victory or defeat of soldiers is the battlefield, while the battlefield that determines the success or failure of officials is the capital.

The war at the border has come to an end. But anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is an intermission. However, the key to the success or failure of this war lies in the capital.

Weng Wanda dared not neglect. He even assigned some of the work that had been eliminated in the war to others to deal with, and hurriedly returned to Beijing. He was even before Zhou Mengchen.

After Weng Wanda returned to Beijing, he first went to the palace gate to sign up for a visit.

This is the convention for foreign officials to enter the capital. Let the emperor know.

But this has become a false article in the Jiajing Dynasty. The reason is very simple. During the tenure of other emperors, they may call their foreign ministers over and meet them and ask about the situation outside. However, in the Jiajing Dynasty, it is almost impossible to happen.

From entering the capital to leaving the capital, the emperor's favor is already tremendous.

The same is true for Weng Wanda.

After leaving his name at the palace gate, it is his main business to come to the capital.

Before he could leave the palace gate, a servant in brocade clothes said, "My master, please invite me."

This servant was a little arrogant. Although he was talking about his words, his eyes always looked at him from a slant, as if it was growing on his forehead.

Weng Wanda asked carefully: "Who is your master?"

The servant said, "My master is the chief minister of the dynasty."

Weng Wanda said: "Mr. Yan?"

The servant said, "That's right."

Weng Wanda had a little bitterness in her mouth.

In fact, Weng Wanda came to Beijing this time to see Yan Song. It is because he is life, death, honor and disgrace, and it is just a matter of Yan Song's thoughts. This has nothing to do with the war he fought. If the court judged fairly, Weng Wanda would naturally be out of standard this time. But there is also a reason for it.

Most civil servants in the Ming Dynasty actually did not fight. There were only a few people who could fight. Most civil servants called victory, which was actually driven away by absolute superior troops. As long as this kind of war was properly arranged in advance, he could calm down during the war and not command blindly, most civil servants could do it.

However, once you do not have an absolute advantage in military strength or even at a disadvantage in military strength, many so-called military coaches will be blinded when facing a dynamic battlefield.

Of course, it is not that there are civil officials who can fight against military generals. The three kings, Wang Ji, Wang Yue, Wang Yangming, Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, who were awarded the title of civil officials, are famous commanders like Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting. However, the famous ones are only a few. Most civil officials are not good. Even Liu Tian and Heishui have a great victory, in fact, a considerable part of it is because Liu Tianhe and Zhou Shangwen are in harmony, and Liu Tianhe dares to delegate power. It can allow Zhou Shangwen to show his abilities 100%. However, leadership ability is also a kind of ability of the main general. However, most civil officials look down on military generals and think that the generals are vulgar. They think they are a hundred times better than them. However, when they fight, they lose their power and are embarrassed, and they say that the following generals are unwilling to use their lives.

Although Weng Wanda served as a border minister for more than ten years, he did not go beyond this range.

But he had never encountered such a situation before. The Tartars were even stronger than the official army. It was already his limit to his ability to maintain the situation without a big collapse.

In fair judgment, Weng Wanda was dismissed from office at most and was not punished and died.

But the court's judgment is often based on Yan Song's pen.

Didn’t Yan Song want him to give birth to him at this moment, and did he want him to die?

Weng Wanda started his career in Guangxi and has always been a border minister. He is not very close to the officials of the court. Even Xia Yan is the same. Therefore, after Yan Song took office, he kept trying to win over Yan Song. However, Yan Song also knew his shortcomings. When Xia Yan was there, Xia Yan controlled most of the generals of the nine borders. The entire strategic thinking of the nine borders was controlled by Xia Yan.

After Yan Song took office, as the chief minister, how could he not control the most important military aspects of the Ming Dynasty? It was just that Yan Song didn't know much about marching and fighting. Of course, Xia Yan didn't understand either. At this time, he could see that the chief minister had a sense of people.

Zeng Xian and Yan Song selected Weng Wanda. Looking at Weng Wanda's resume, he started from Guangxi and started from the battle in Annan. Although this battle was not completed, people at that time thought that he was capable of using troops. Later, he served as the governor of Shaanxi and later became the governor of Xuanda step by step. It can be said that he was the leader of the officials in the world.

The Ming Dynasty was not the Qing Dynasty, there were only three-sided governors, Guangdong and Guangxi Governors, Xuanda Governors, and the rest were not very permanent governors.

Although it is a little lower than the ministers in the court, it can barely be called a civil servant. He has his own choice.

Yan Song's methods to Zeng Xian made many border ministers feel sad.

The same is true for Weng Wanda.

This was why he kept pulling and pulling in secret. Weng Wanda didn't want to get on Yan Song's ship completely, but he didn't want to offend Yan Song. Otherwise, Yan Song would have wanted him to be the Minister of War at the beginning. He had not yet stepped down as Governor Xuanda for so long. Although he was Governor Xuanda as the most important border minister of the Ming Dynasty, he had a lot of responsibilities and had a lot of affairs. But it might not be that Weng Wanda was in his heart, and he was not very willing.

Promotion may not be a good thing.

But at this moment, he had no choice.

All I can say is: "Please lead the way."

Yan Song stood under the dripping eaves with a smile on his face. Seeing Weng Wanda coming, he quickly stepped forward and said with a smile: "I have been waiting for Brother Weng for several months, and Brother Weng has finally arrived. Let me wait."

Weng Wanda hurriedly said, "Duke Yan, this is Weng's fault, Weng's fault."

Yan Song grabbed Weng Wanda's hand with one hand, looked intimate and said, "Where is wherever there, half of the weight of the nine sides is in Xuanda. Xuanda is the gateway to Beijing. Without Weng, you can't sleep well in Beijing. Brother Weng will not handle Xuanda's affairs well. Naturally, he will not come to the capital to take office."

This sentence seems to be intimate.

But Weng Wanda was so cold that she heard it.

Yan Song still remained calm, and his smile was about to come out. He said, "But, Brother Weng also needs to know the importance of the importance. Xuan Da is not as important as Grand Sima."

People in the Ming Dynasty liked to use the ancient name, and the so-called Grand Sima was the ancient name of the Minister of War.

Weng Wanda could only smile and said, "This is Weng who doesn't know the general and does not understand the overall situation."

Yan Song and Weng Wanda settled their homes and guests. Yan Song had a victorious smile on his lips and said, "So, Brother Weng has decided to take office in the Ministry of War?"

Although Weng Wanda was helpless, he knew that his nodding meant that the Yan Party label would not be erased from the future. However, after thinking about it, he felt helpless in his heart: "When will I take office when I need you to take office. It's just that this time the Tartar invasion. Xuanda suffered heavy losses. Please give me a few good words before His Holiness?"

Yan Song said: "I know the sufferings of the frontier. It is not easy to be in chaos every year. It is not easy for the people, and it is not easy for Brother Weng. I heard that Zhou Shangwen has also gone. It is even more difficult for me. However, this time it is difficult for me, and it is even more difficult for the Tartars. No matter what, it is a win. It is always good."

"Win the fight-------" Weng Wanda was stunned for a moment. She didn't know what to say.

Although Weng Wanda found millions of reasons for himself in his heart, there was one thing he could not deny. That is, this was actually a defeat. Weng Wanda was still relatively pragmatic in military affairs. But he never expected that this was the case when he arrived at Yan Song.

After Weng Wanda paid the letter of vote, Yan Song returned the gift to him, which made him unable to accept it.

Yan Song said: "It was a victory. The Tartars came in a fierce manner, and they lost their troops and left. They were suddenly under the strong city and almost died and survived. Only then did they find a way out. I heard that Altan was sick because he was angry."

Weng Wanda can be said to be Altan's real opponent. He knows the best of all aspects of Altan's situation. He has never heard of such words before and asked with a meaning: "Where did this news come from? Why don't I know?"

Yan Song said, "I don't know either. Altan will not report to the court. Of course, what I say is what I say? Brother Weng, just be willing to be a hundred times. This time, not only do you have no mistakes, but you are a meritorious minister."

Yan Song said this sentence quite straightforwardly. It made Weng Wanda unable to control his expression for a moment, showing a look of shock.
