Chapter 92: The strategy to return

In fact, Zhou Mengchen still has a little understanding of what Zhao Wenhua did.

Indeed, there are parties and factions.

There are actually differences among the strict party. This is normal.

Zhou Mengchen remembers that the biggest difference within the strict party was the conflict between the old and new party, or the young and strong party and the elderly.

The reason is very simple, that is, Yan Song is old.

The reason for this is the old man Yan Dang. He basically followed Yan Song's old subordinates before Xia Yan fell. Most of them were mainly Jiangxi people. And although it was not honest, they were also sensible. After all, Yan Song had not defeated Xia Yan at that time, which was too much. It was undoubtedly Xia Yan's target.

Xia Yan started to act, but he would not be polite.

But after Xia Yan fell, although Xu Jie slowly rose, fundamentally speaking, Xu Jie was not Yan Song's opponent at all. He has been in a defensive state. Even though he took the initiative to attack today, it seems that it is still a defensive counterattack.

Therefore, when people joined the Yan Party, led by Zhao Wenhua and others, they made money without any concealment. With the cooperation of the little master, the power of this faction is getting bigger and bigger. After all, Yan Song is old. Jiajing is in his early fifties, and now Yan Song is all 80 people. It is natural to lose energy.

There may not be no conflict between the two sides.

It’s like the Xu Jie faction that the inner part is clearly distinguished.

But what Zhou Mengchen didn’t understand was, as for this level, even internal struggles would have to be restricted. After all, the Six Ministers of the Secretariat are at the level of pillars in any sect.

Nie Bao was also from a scholar of mind. However, when Zhou Mengchen collaborated with him, he always forgot about this matter.

To undermine your own people to this extent. As for?

Zhou Mengchen pressed down on the doubts in his heart. Anyway, he didn't have to worry about the Yan Party. Even such serious problems occurred within the Yan Party. It was Zhou Mengchen's happy event. After all, Zhou Mengchen has never been a friend of Yan Party. He is now concerned about his own affairs.

So he told Zhang Juzheng about his doubts and current situation in detail and asked Zhang Juzheng for advice.

Zhang Juzheng was silent for a while after hearing this. He said, "Actually, Xu Wei is right. You should make a second-hand preparation."

Zhou Mengchen said: "It's impossible to save the matter."

Zhang Juzheng said: "In Beijing, there are three people who have confirmed your position. One is Your Majesty, and the other is the Prime Minister and the Teacher. Your Majesty can naturally decide on your affairs. But you have also said it yourself. You may not let Your Majesty follow your wishes. It is to say that you have shaken Your Majesty's determination to keep you in Beijing. So what will you do with the determination of the other two?"

Zhou Mengchen said: "So, Yan Song and Ge Lao Xu also want me to stay in the capital."

Zhang Juzheng said: "Yes. The teacher wants you to go to the Ministry of War. There are no small problems in the Ministry of War. Moreover, Shangshu Nie has been in the Ministry of War for a long time. If you are a minister in the Ministry of War, once there is something wrong with the world, you will be the leader. The Prime Minister will be in charge. If there is nothing wrong with the world, you can enjoy wealth and honor."

Zhou Mengchen sneered and said, "Your master is really worthy of me."

Xu Jie's placement of Zhou Mengchen seemed to be very good to Zhou Mengchen. From then on, Zhou Mengchen estimated that he would be rich and prosperous, and even when he retreated in the future, he would be bound to be granted a title of marquis. However, this essentially the placement of military generals was not the placement of civil servants. Xu Jie's approach was only to look at Zhou Mengchen's identity as a general. He ignored that Zhou Mengchen was also a Jinshi and could compete for supreme power. If Xu Jie's arrangements were made, Zhou Mengchen would be dedicated to military affairs in the future and would only kill a Minister of War.

This is not what Zhou Mengchen wants.

However, Zhou Mengchen could understand that the orphan he picked up also wanted to treat his own son with his own son. What he thought about.

It is estimated that in Xu Jie's future layout, Zhang Juzheng will be the chief minister in the cabinet. Zhou Mengchen is the Minister of War outside, making Zhou Mengchen a capable subordinate of Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng actually understood this. His eyes were slightly dodged. Even though the two had a close relationship, the position of the cabinet was limited. Sometimes they had to fight. However, in Zhang Juzheng's opinion, this was a matter of ten years later. For the sake of illusory things, it would be ridiculous to have a rupture now.

But this is also a thorn in both sides' hearts. It will grow slowly.

Zhang Juzheng said, "I don't understand the meaning of the chief minister. But I don't understand the meaning of Yan Shifan. You have done a great job in Datong. Every man is innocent and he is guilty of possessing a treasure. Yan Shifan has already made moves and will do whatever he wants to push his man to serve as the governor of Datong."

Zhou Mengchen narrowed his eyes slightly, and a murderous aura spread out. He gritted his teeth and said, "He thinks beautifully. If I don't become this official, Datong will never fall into Yan Shifan's hands."

The old people following Yan Song still have some bottom lines. However, Yan Party promoted some newcomers with the senior master of the small pavilion, and they really didn't even have a good attitude to eat. It would be fine if Datong had no money, they looked down on it. Now Datong's finances can rank in the top ten or even the top five among the wealthy prefectures in the world. How can they let go of such fat?

Zhou Mengchen would never allow the foundation he worked hard to build to make a wedding dress for Yan Shifan.

In order not to happen, Zhou Mengchen even had the desire to die with Yan Song.

Zhang Juzheng said: "It's not like this. The teacher will never allow Yan Song to succeed. But if you do something that goes against the holy will, it's hard to say."

Zhou Mengchen understood that Zhang Juzheng's implication was that everyone wanted you to return to Beijing. Whether it was to go to the Ministry of Revenue to manage finances, or go to the Ministry of War to provide a favor to Nie Bao, or Yan Song had any arrangements for Zhou Mengchen. But one thing was consistent. That was, he didn't want him to stay in Datong and didn't want to cause trouble in the north.

If Zhou Mengchen insists on his own, he will probably be beaten.

Zhou Mengchen was a little decadent for a moment and said, "Is there really no way?"

Zhang Juzheng said: "Maybe there is a way, but I think you will definitely not use it."

Zhou Mengchen suddenly looked up and said, "What's the solution?"

Zhang Juzheng said: "Let something happen to Datong."

Zhou Mengchen immediately said, "No, isn't this a thief to be respectful?"

Zhou Mengchen's construction in Datong made Datong not only a military center, but also an economic center. In this way, Datong's strategic location will be even more important. Therefore, once something happens to Datong, the court is in the most appropriate placement, Zhou Mengchen will still be allowed to return to Datong to deal with it.

No one is more suitable than Zhou Mengchen.

But what can happen to Datong?

It was just a war with the Tartars. Zhou Mengchen would never be able to do such a thing. It was the same thing that Zhou Mengchen wanted to reconvene. However, in Zhou Mengchen's plan, the reconvene battle was a short and fast battle. It was a war that had been planned for a long time, suddenly attacked, and ended neatly.

It is not time to start now. Once the war begins, the great situation of Datong construction may no longer exist.

I don’t know how many additional people in Datong will be killed or injured.

And doing so has sequelae, and the sequelae are very serious.

Such a beginning and end can be perfect. No one knows it?

It is impossible. And for many people in the political arena, there is no need for evidence at all. Just prove it with a free heart. From now on, even if Zhou Mengchen has an army of more than 100,000, the upper class of the court actually did not doubt that Zhou Mengchen had other thoughts. Some measures against Datong Town were only for balance, and did not target Zhou Mengchen himself.

If this happens, will such trust still exist?

In the future, the court settled the scores in the autumn, and I don’t know what the outcome would be. For example, in history, Li Chengliang played this trick in Liaodong when he was young, but what would happen to his 8,000 cavalry of the Li family ended? He died in North Korea and on the grassland. Even when Li Chengliang was in his seventies, his son died, and he even asked Li Chengliang to serve as the general of Liaodong. He asked him to clean up the mess. This was certainly because of the influence of the Li family. But the court had never considered the life and death of the Li family. He had never thought about giving Li Chengliang a chance to enjoy his old age.

It can be said that it is a disaster.

Zhou Mengchen couldn't do this. Even if he could do such a thing, he wouldn't do such a thing. Although the Ming Dynasty was in decline and it was not until the end of the year, as long as he didn't want to be the emperor himself, he would do less in such things.
