Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1156 Qi Jiguang Enters Beijing

Gao Yushi had no knowledge of the content of the discussions between Zhang Cheng and Shen Shihang. Until Shen Shihang and his party returned to Beijing, neither side took any practical measures. To be exact, they didn't even communicate.

Shen Shixing has always been an extremely calm person. As Gao Yushi's nominal "teacher", he has seen many scenes of Gao Yushi quietly eliminating his opponents over the years, so he naturally knows how powerful Gao Yushi is. It is by no means an easy task to lay hands on such a person.

At the beginning, Yu Youding secretly intervened in Zhang Jing and Liu Shouyou's plan for high-level pragmatism, and even the dignified old man almost got himself into it. This incident gave Shen Shixing enough vigilance, so until everything was ready, he It will definitely not be shot.

Besides, for such a plan, I don’t know how much preliminary work has to be carried out secretly. Now the time is still far away, so why worry?It is reasonable to lay an ambush everywhere step by step.

Besides, although it is easy to defeat the planned battle, there are several difficulties in it, and they must be resolved before they can act.

For example, this battle must be led by Gao Yushi himself, or at least he must be in command, otherwise, even if he is defeated in the end, the main responsibility will not belong to him!This has to be determined in advance, and it must be ensured that Gao Yushi will lead the army in person.

Another example is how to "maximize the benefits" of this defeat - I have already analyzed it before, even if Gao Yushi suffers a big defeat, he may not be completely helpless.It is more likely that the emperor will miss the past, and then he will be given a punishment that is neither light nor severe, and he will probably be "encouraged to serve".

This kind of disposition by the emperor is a common outcome for nobles and favored ministers, and Gao Yushi is fully qualified to enjoy this treatment.Therefore, this wave of expected failures only broke the myth of Gao Wu's invincibility and shaken his irreplaceable position in the emperor's mind. It's all over in one go.

So in this case, how to make a profit for the School of Mind?This requires him, Shen Shixing, the Chief Assistant, to plan and plan carefully. When the Real School is in chaos due to the defeat of the high-practice school, he will make a sudden move to obtain the maximum benefits for the Heart School.

This is obviously not a simple matter, everything is a trick, and a chain of tricks is formed by the trick.As the chief designer, he naturally has to be more careful, not only can't act blindly, but even complete the layout without leaking the wind.

Shen Shihang didn't respond, and didn't even ask the cabinet about the "platform call" a few days ago, so Gao Yushi gradually felt relieved.He secretly estimated that it might be because his uncle's departure was rather sudden, and Shen Shixing took over in a hurry, and he might not be ready for a full-scale conflict.But in terms of Shen Shixing's nature, since the outcome is unpredictable, it must be delayed and slowly accumulate the chances of winning.

Gao Pragmatic's idea is not unreasonable, because Shen Shixing really does not fight unprepared battles. This can be seen from the fact that he did not personally intervene in the plans of Zhang Jing and Liu Shouyou, but let Yu Youding manipulate them secretly. come out.

Of course, this is also in line with the performance of Shenshihang in the original history.In all kinds of history books—regardless of official history and unofficial history—almost all agree that Shen Shixing has two ends and is exquisite in all aspects.Even Wang Shizhen, who had a good relationship with him, used a more euphemistic statement in "Shoufu Biography", saying that he was "rich in savings, not close to the cliff, and not different from others."

Not close to the cliff, this statement is very subtle.

There is a saying that "a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall", so in traditional Confucianism, "not close to a cliff" seems to be a very commendatory term.However, Wang Shizhen is, after all, the head of the last seven sons, who has dominated the literary world for 20 years, and his words obviously have deep meaning.

Where is the deep meaning?

The reason is that although a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, that is just a gentleman's usual way of sheltering himself. In fact, a gentleman should also have the courage to go forward despite tens of thousands of people.

The key here is when a gentleman should "not get close to the cliff" and when should "go ahead despite tens of thousands of people".

When?where righteousness lies.

If it's just an ordinary time, then of course it should be "not close to the cliff", but if it is where righteousness lies, a gentleman should "go to it despite tens of thousands of people".

However, Wang Shizhen never mentioned that there was a time when Shen Shixing was so "forgiving".So in other words, Wang Shizhen actually secretly pointed out the huge shortcoming of Shen Shixing's lack of extraordinary courage.

The reason why I have to point it out secretly is because the relationship between the two parties is not bad, so it's hard to say it clearly.

Because of the records and analysis in the original history, Gao Wushi didn't pay much attention to Shen Shihang's "indifference", and only thought that Shen Shihang didn't want to intensify the conflict so quickly.

Gao Yushi thinks that Shen Shixing's behavior is not the best, but it is not bad.As long as he doesn't choose to change course, cancel the reforms promoted by the previous Practical School, and turn history back, then he can still tolerate the existence of this Shen Yuanfu.

Anyway, his consistent attitude is clear: as long as you don't mess with me and don't stop me from reforming, then basically I can bear with other things.

Just a joke, he can bear those honorable beings, and he can even find a way to drag them to a righteous path suitable for them to "reform evil and return to righteousness", so why can't he bear others.The premise is just those two: don't mess with me, don't block my way.

Therefore, he didn't bother to take care of it if Shen Shi couldn't move.He has been busy with the establishment of the Imperial Guard recently. Although Qi Jiguang has not arrived yet, he has been exchanging letters with him.The two sides exchanged some ideas and precautions for the training of the imperial guards in letters, and basically reached an agreement. Now Qi Jiguang and Yang Siwei are ready to take up their duties after the proper handover.

Oh, of course, Qi Jiguang has to recruit troops himself, and this time he can’t go to Yiwu, he has to recruit troops in the north—although the imperial guards allow the whole country to recruit troops in name, but from the perspective of easy settlement and convenient command, etc., It is better to be near Gyeonggi, or at most no more than Beizhili.

After another ten days, Qi Jiguang finally came.

It's really not easy for Qi Jiguang to come here.The 1000 Qi family army first directly allocated [-] to Qi Jin, and asked him to take him to Liaodong to take up his new post. Then he brought only [-] people to Beijing, and stopped when he was still far away, and reported to the Ministry of War to "ask for instructions."

This thing is very interesting.

Although Gao Wuwu's armed servants in the capital had been "hardly controlled" by him, they had always reached as many as [-], and the court's attitude towards this was completely indifferent.Even after so many years, the officials who like to take care of shit have never expressed any objection to this, let alone impeachment.

But when Qi Jiguang arrived, he only brought a thousand soldiers and horses, and the team stopped decisively when it was still far away in Shunyi, and seriously "asked the Ministry of War for instructions"—that is, "Excuse the Ministry of War, can I come to Beijing now?"

The differential treatment of civil servants and military generals is undoubtedly revealed in this incident.

Gao Wushi has three thousand armed servants in the capital alone, and there are at least tens of thousands of other servants, servants, employees, etc. in total.If the scope is expanded, for example, if Kaiping, the most important "heavy industry base" in Jinghua, is included, then he, someone from Gao, might be able to pull out an army of [-] tomorrow just by giving an order.

However, the imperial court completely turned a blind eye to his power, as if he had never heard of it.

But when he arrived at Qi Jiguang, even though he only brought a thousand Qi family troops with him, without any backup or foundation, he still didn't dare to stop to ask for instructions, otherwise, he probably wouldn't dare to move forward even if he was killed.

Except for the nobles of the Jingnan family who were originally in charge of guarding Yanjing, all other generals were treated the same when they came to the capital. No one dared to bring more than five hundred members into the capital.When Liu Xian brought Liu Ting to the capital for "activities", the reason why there were only a few people at hand was not because his family members were really so few, but because even if he had, he would not dare to bring them to the capital.

Are you here for "events" or do you want to engage in military remonstrance?

Although Qi Jiguang is a general of the border town that the imperial court relies on, he also received close attention on this issue. He knew this himself, so he made such a move.

Not to mention, there are really a large group of people in the imperial court who are very sensitive to this, and they all said that it does not matter if Qi Jiguang himself came to take office, but he should not bring troops here because "the ancestral system is like this".What makes Gao Pragmatic even more speechless is that most of these people are neutral officials.

On the contrary, the Xin School headed by Shen Shixing showed relative restraint at this time. Many of them went to the Shu and said that Qi Jiguang could bring "500 people" to Beijing.

As for the practical school, under the influence of high pragmatism, they now only hope that Qi Jiguang will come to take office quickly, and quickly put up the airs of the Imperial Guard, and other things are trivial.One thousand Qi's army is only one thousand Qi's army. If your Qi's army can fight again, can these 1000 people still threaten the capital?What's more, Qi Jiguang is not crazy, how could he use these 1000 people to rebel?

The emperor didn't seem to have considered this situation before, and he was a little undecided for a while in the face of the various arguments of the ministers.

Zhu Yijun didn't think there was any threat to Qi Jiguang bringing 1000 people here, but the opinions of the opposition were fine. This kind of ancestral system still needs to be maintained, because its starting point is to maintain the stability of the imperial court.

In the end, Qi Jiguang was stuck in Shunyi County for a full three days. Gao Wushi couldn't stand it any longer, so he took the initiative to ask for orders—he went to Shunyi himself, "led" Qi's army over, and stationed in a group of temporary barracks that had just been repaired. The Beijing North Camp of the house.

The implication is that the Qi family army will not enter the capital, but directly live in the Beijing North Camp.Doesn't this violate the ancestral system?

Zhu Yijun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the highly pragmatic Shangshu.The nature of what was brought by civil servants and what was brought by generals has changed in nature—regardless of whether Qi’s army is still Qi’s army, especially when Qi Jiguang himself is among them, it doesn’t make much difference whether Gao Pragmatic goes or not. The difference is huge.

The difference in name means that it will lead to different results.

In the eyes of the officials in the DPRK and China, it was no problem for Gao Wushi to lead the Qi family army over as the left servant of the Ministry of War, assistant manager of the Jingying Rongzheng.He is not only "right in charge", but also has made great military achievements. The officials in the capital naively think that as long as Gao Pragmatic goes, the Qi family army will be stable.

It's really a fan of self-confidence, Gao Yushi himself is not so inflated.When Qi Jiguang himself was alive, no civil official could command Qi's army after surpassing him.The reason is obvious, even if you cross Liu Ting, you will not be able to command and surrender to the Japanese barbarians!

Follow Ren's servant, is this just a joke?If it was that simple, then why did Chongzhen only tolerate Wu Sangui, Zuo Liangyu and others infinitely?
The servant only recognizes his own master, he cares whether you are the emperor or not, and the emperor cares about his food?

The high-practical memorial received Zhu’s approval at the fastest speed. In Zhu’s approval, Zhu Yijun even said, “Since Qing is in charge of military affairs, it is natural for the military affairs of Gyeonggi to act cheaply. Military Supervision."

The debate came to an end, Gao Yushi didn't delay much, and rushed to Shunyi County with two hundred family members to pick him up.

When he arrived at Qi Jiguang's military camp in Shunyi County, Qi Jiguang had already ordered the whole army to line up to greet him, and he himself stood at the forefront of the team.

Gao Wushi knew that Qi Jiguang would not be angry because he was left out for a few days, but whether there would be dissatisfaction within the Qi family army was hard to determine.So as soon as he saw Qi Jiguang, he made a joke and said loudly, "Qi Shaobao, are you safe? Our hall is here to welcome Qi Shaobao today."

Qi Jiguang didn't expect Gao Wushi to use such an opening remark, he was taken aback and quickly stepped forward, and said in a loud voice, "Qi, a young lackey of Mu En's sect, pays his respects to Young Sima, please forgive him for not being able to fully salute because of his armor."

Having said that, he still knelt down, but was supported by Gao Yushi who jumped off the horse first.

"What is Qi Shaobao doing? Don't frustrate the students. Hurry up and excuse yourself." Then he said to the officers and soldiers of the Qi family army who knelt down with him behind Qi Jiguang: "The same is true for all officers and soldiers. Please excuse me." Bar."

Even so, the officers and soldiers of the Qi family army still got up after seeing Qi Jiguang get up first.

"Jie Ying" is naturally a high-level polite phrase. He and Qi Jiguang went inside to discuss the procedures for entering Beijing, and at the same time asked Qi Jiguang to order the Qi family army to prepare for departure.

After a while, Qi's army moved, and Qi Jiguang really handed over the command to Gao Yushi, and he led the troops forward, while he rode behind Gao Yushi himself.

On the way, Gao Yushi was not idle, and while leading the team to the Beijing North Camp, he asked Qi Jiguang: "Mr. Nantang, the matter of his appointment is now settled, but the matter I asked in the letter before..."

"Young Sima is asking about where to recruit troops?"

Gao Wushi nodded and said, "That's right, this should be the most important thing right now."

Qi Jiguang replied: "The imperial guards are divided into horses, infantry, artillery, and engineering. At present, I plan to recruit the horse army in Bazhou, and the infantry and engineering soldiers in Cangzhou. Only the artillery army has not yet been determined."
