Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1445 Establishment of the State (Part [-])
Now that the emperor has made a decision, the various opinions of the outer court are actually meaningless.It's just that the turmoil caused by the war in Jianzhou has no reason to end so easily.

There is an extremely important change that has not yet been dealt with: the defeat of Li Chengliang.

This matter has already caused a lot of trouble in Beijing, from the old story of Han Xianyou impeaching Li Chengliang, the censor of Shandong Province, to the impeachment of Li Chengliang by Ren Yangxin, the censor of Zhili, and the impeachment of Li Chengliang by Ren Yangxin, the censor of Zhili. Arrogance cannot be shaken", it can be said that one wave is higher than the other.

However, under Wang Xijue's persuasion, Shen Shixing applied for the rescue of Li Chengliang, and said: "Things on the nine sides are difficult today, and Liaodong alone is in trouble; the generals on the nine sides are loyal and brave, and Chengliang alone is the most. In the past 20 years, there has been no battle, no war It can be said that we have tried our best to prevent the day.

As for the encounter when using troops, since ancient times it is hard to say that there will be a hundred victories and no losers.Now, taking his achievements in bloody battles as falsehood and his loyalty to serve the country as deceit, he disintegrates the hearts of officials and allows the barbarians to dominate without daring to speak out; If you don't dare to discuss it, how harmful is it?
Today Jianzhou is still encircled by us in three ways, and it is difficult for the captive chieftain brothers to fly.After all this great work, even if you do your best to punish the ugly, what's the point of pity?However, it was not Li Chengliang's business alone to suppress the barbarians and encircle them several times. It was also Li Chengliang's last policy. I deeply regret it.Emperor Fuwang gave me special observation. "

Shen Shi Xingtang Yuanfu personally went to Shushu to apply for the rescue of Li Chengliang, which is naturally not an ordinary order.Although the Ming Dynasty had no prime minister, the first assistant was still regarded as the head of all officials. Even the emperor had to consider the first assistant's face in ordinary times.

In addition, Shen Shixing's application for rescue is quite particular. He didn't discuss whether Li Chengliang had killed someone in the past, and he didn't even bother to defend the Li family's "big tail". He just simply reviewed Li Chengliang's 20 years of fighting He emphasized that it is human nature to have an occasional defeat, and it is really unbearable for this one defeat to obliterate half of his career.

The reason for this statement is that he knew that the emperor knew in his heart:

First, it is actually very common for generals to fight in battles these days, especially when they are fighting abroad, and it is not only Li Chengliang who does this.

Second, for things like going out to fight, if you lose a battle and you have to pursue the old case, who will dare to go to war lightly in the future?How many generals dare to guarantee that there will be no defeat in this life?
Third, although Li Chengliang's troops are defeated now, the situation in Jianzhou is not out of control, and the encirclement of the three armies is still going smoothly, and this is also Li Chengliang's previous plan. How could he just focus on one defeat and ignore the whole battle? Woolen cloth?He is also responsible for this overall victory, so what's the point of convicting him only for defeat in one area?
Fourth, the so-called Li Chengliang family's tail is too big to lose, "Huan Shenjing is dominated by left and right, and arrogance cannot be shaken", the reason why Shen Shixing did not defend it is not because it is a fait accompli.

The so-called "Huan Shen Jing left and right" is really unshakable, not Li Chengliang, but high pragmatism.

Li Chengliang's direct line is only about [-] even in Liaodong, and Li Rusong has another [-] in Xuanfu.Can the number of [-] be able to "encircle the capital around Shenjing, and the arrogance cannot be shaken"?What a joke!
The Jingshi Jingying claims to be 40. Although most of them are unable to fight, there are [-] of them with top-notch imperial guards. According to the situation of the Grand Parade, this army is more elite than any frontier army. It can be called the history of Qi Jiguang's military training peak.Although Shen Shixing didn't understand soldiers, he heard Gao Yushi's evaluation: before the imperial guards, a hundred thousand elite cavalry rushed into the formation and could not be shaken.

One hundred thousand elite riders charging into battle?Even if it takes 40 to [-] years to go back, Al Da Khan has such a mighty army when he is at his strongest.

Needless to say, outside the capital, from east to west from Liaodong:
There are about 18 soldiers in Liaodong, of which 15 are descendants of Li Chengliang, and among the remaining [-], there are [-] descendants of Ma Dong and Ma Chengxun seconded by Cao Yu and Xuanda.
Ji Town originally had [-] to [-] soldiers, but later due to Qi Jiguang's transfer to the commander of the imperial guards and Qi Jin's transfer to the Shenyang guerrilla, the strength of the troops dropped a little.However, since Jizhen is one of the main positions in the plan to send troops to Chahar, another [-] to [-] troops were transferred from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang, Jiangxi and other places, and the current total strength has remained at [-] to [-].

And the Li family has only one Li Ruzhang in Ji Town, and his job is only to guard Jizhou West Road as a general.Li Ruzhang is the fourth son of Li Chengliang, so the treatment is naturally inferior to that of the eldest son Li Rusong, and he only brings a thousand followers with him.What is the benefit of these 1000 people in front of the [-] or [-] elites of Ji Town?

The military strength of the Xuan Mansion used to be as high as 15. However, with the infiltration of the Ma Family Army and the Ma Family Army and the absence of war in the direction of Tumed for a long time, the total force of the Xuan Mansion has also declined. Now it is about 13. Five thousand is the Liaodong iron cavalry brought by Li Rusong.

Five thousand Liaodong iron cavalry is certainly not weak, but Xuanfu is the place where Ma Fang rose up, and he has been under Gaodang's sect for many years. No matter in terms of military spirit or strength, Li Rusong is a strong dragon in Xuanfu.What's more, because of Ma Fang's relationship, Xuanfu's free cavalry is also a strong point, and it is not afraid of Li Rusong's Liaodong cavalry.

Needless to say, Datong has 12 soldiers and no Li family generals, which is a thoroughly high party base.

Then there is Shanxi Town, the one that was omitted from the "Three Xuanda Towns".It also has [-] soldiers, and there are no Li family generals, and it is also the basic board of Gaodang.

In addition, there is Changping Town under the jurisdiction of the governor of Shuntian. It is hard to say that the capital itself is still the periphery of the capital, but it also has [-] to [-] soldiers.Among them, the Li family has a guerrilla general Li Ruwu, but he is only Li Chengliang's nephew, and there are only three hundred followers around him, so he is not worth mentioning at all.

In such a situation, even if Shen Shixing listened to it, he would not be moved if he said that "Huan Shenjing is dominated by left and right, and arrogance cannot be shaken", let alone the emperor's disbelief.He could even imagine that Gao Yushi would sneer and scoff when he heard this.

According to the traditional thinking of the Ming Dynasty, since there is Gao Yushi, the world's number one literary commander who is famous and well-known in the world, sitting in the capital, and there are a lot of generals he has commanded in the surrounding towns, how can a general like Li Chengliang dare? What's wrong with you?
After all, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were so confident that they didn’t pay attention to the generals when they were not in command. With such a powerful Wenshuai, they naturally wouldn’t worry about the mere 3 soldiers.Therefore, to say that Li Chengliang's tail can't be lost is purely because the civil official group discriminates against military generals, thinking that rebellion can only be done by military generals, so when this kind of time comes, it is used as an example.

But it is useless, with the shrewdness of His Majesty the Emperor, it is impossible to fail to count.Unless the emperor himself wants to punish Li Chengliang, he will not take this statement seriously.

When Shen Shixing went up to apply for rescue, Li Chengliang had just been defeated, the battle of Jianzhou was not over, and the emperor was still hesitating about how to deal with it.Therefore, at that time, Gao Yushi suggested that the emperor not respond first, and wait until the fight was over, and the emperor agreed.

Now that the battle is over, Jianzhou "surrenders and loses half", waiting to be dismembered by three points. At this moment, it is time for the emperor to make a decision.

Zhu Yijun took this opportunity to bring up the matter again, and asked Gao Wushi how he thought Li Chengliang should deal with it.

Gao Yushi was very straightforward, saying: "As far as my personal habits of leading troops are concerned, rewards and punishments must be clearly distinguished. Uncle Ning Yuan's hard work in the past is well-known to all people in the world. , it is not appropriate. On this point, the minister agrees with Yuan Fu's theory.

However, although Uncle Ning Yuan made great achievements in the past, the rewards from the late emperor and His Majesty were also unique, and he is now a hereditary earl.This so-called meritorious service is enough, and it cannot become the principle that there should be no punishment. "

Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "This is exactly where I hesitated. Those who should be rewarded have already been rewarded, but this punishment...but it is not easy to punish, lest people in the world say that my emperor is mean and ungrateful, which is really embarrassing. "

Gao Wushi said: "I think it's embarrassing, but it's not the case. If you have been punished, you still have to be punished, but the favor can be counted separately."

Zhu Yijun was a little surprised and asked, "How can the two be carried out at the same time?"

Gao Wushi said: "I think Uncle Ning Yuan's defeat is actually the biggest defeat of the imperial court in recent years. If it were someone else, I'm afraid it would not be a pity to go to prison and die. But since he is the prince of the world, he might as well be more lenient and only lose his position. Just order him to return to Beijing to take care of him with Earl Ningyuan.”

Zhu Yijun's complexion changed slightly: "Do you think...the punishment is not heavy? Liaodong..."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister hasn't finished yet."

Generally speaking, courtiers are not allowed to interrupt the emperor's speech, but Zhu Yijun and Gao Yushi were used to being rude when they were alone, so he didn't think there was any problem, and just followed his words: "Then you continue to talk."

Gao Wushi then continued: "Uncle Ning Yuan resigned to Liao Town, and the post of Liao Commander was vacated. In fact, according to my original intention, it is reasonable for Uncle Ning Yuan to lose and Cao Yu to win this battle. Cao Yu should take over as Liao Commander. May the people of the world misunderstand, then Cao Yu’s reward will need to be considered separately, and the post of Liao Commander will still be handed over to the Li family.”

Zhu Yijun's heart moved, he frowned and said, "You mean Li Rusong?"

As for Li Rusong, Zhu Yijun was quite satisfied, but it seemed strange that he was dismissed as his father and then sent to Liaodong as the commander-in-chief.Although if he did this, he would not be afraid that people in the world would say that he was mean and ungrateful, but on the other hand, it seemed that he was afraid of the Li family, and felt that the Li family would not be able to play without them in Liaodong, and it still felt wrong.

He frowned and thought for a while, but he was still not particularly satisfied, so he said: "Let me consider this matter carefully, but just now you mentioned that Cao Yu will be rewarded for his achievements... If he takes over as Commander Liao, that's all. If not, how should I be rewarded?"

Gao Wushi said: "It is reasonable to say that Cao Yu has been in Liaodong for half of his life, and he is the most familiar with the situation in Liaodong. At this time when the Liao affairs are initially determined and the Mongolian war is about to start, it is not the best policy to transfer him away from Liaodong. It's not impossible to make a trade-off, but it's best not to move too far away.

According to my humble opinion, if it is inconvenient for Cao Yu to take over as commander-in-chief of Liao this time, it is better to be transferred to commander-in-chief Ji first.Ji Town is the closest to Liaodong, and it is also an important place to send troops to Chahar. It is also suitable for Cao Yu to town it. "

"That makes sense." Zhu Yijun thought for a while, and then asked, "Then what about Yang Siwei?"

Yang Siwei is the current commander-in-chief of Jizhen, and took over the position left by Qi Jiguang when he entered Beijing.

Gao Wushi said: "Yang Siwei's arrangement depends on whether the emperor wants Li Rusong to leave Liaodong."

Zhu Yijun frowned and said, "What does this mean?"

Gao Wushi smiled and replied: "I don't know if your Majesty still remembers that Yang Siwei was originally from Liaodong? That's right, Uncle Ning Yuan took over as Commander-in-Chief of Liaodong in the fourth year of Longqing because Wang Zhidao, the former general of Liaodong, died in battle, and Yang Siwei was from Liaodong." Siwei had already served as the commander-in-chief of Changping in the second year of Longqing, and before that, he was the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong.

In other words, it was precisely because Yang Siwei was transferred to Changping that the position of Liaodong Deputy Commander at that time was vacated for Ning Yuanbo.So after Wang Zhidao died in battle, Uncle Ning Yuan was able to serve as Liao commander.Otherwise, it would have been Yang Siwei who succeeded Liao Shuai back then.

Therefore, I have three arrangements for your Majesty's reference: first, if Li Rusong is transferred to Liao Commander, then Cao Yu will be promoted to Ji Commander, and Yang Siwei will be promoted to Xuan Commander; Yang Siwei also did not move; thirdly, Li Rusong did not move, Cao Yu was promoted to Commander Ji, and Yang Siwei returned to Commander Liao. "

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "I understand what you mean, but I think these three arrangements are reasonable, but they are not perfect... I don't mean to blame you, this matter is indeed quite difficult, It just has to be reconsidered.”

Gao Wushi said: "Yes, I understand."

Zhu Yijun thought for a while, then suddenly asked: "Hey, since Yang Siwei made his fortune earlier than Li Chengliang, what age is he now?"

Not long after Gao Yushi left his post in the Ministry of War, he still remembered this clearly, and immediately replied: "Yang Siwei was born in the ninth year of Jiajing, and he is fifty-nine years old this year."

Zhu Yijun frowned and said, "Is he still in good health?"

This question is really not superfluous. During this period, the generals of the Ming Dynasty suffered a lot of injuries. When they were nearly 60 years old, many unmentionable diseases developed, and most of them would resign from office. It is rare to see Li Chengliang as healthy and long-lived.

Gao Wushi said: "I heard that his health in recent years is not as good as before, but I heard that he led troops to patrol the border not long ago, so it is not a big problem."

Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "That's not a guarantee, since the bodies of these military officials either don't collapse, or they collapse quickly. In three or four years, they can change from a parachutist to a bed rest. Since There are already rumors that his health is not as good as before... It is not because I want to say something unlucky, but I am afraid that he will not be strong for a long time, if I let him fight in front of the battle again, it is really not the way of a king."

It is not easy to answer these high-level pragmatic words, so there is no interface.

Zhu Yijun sighed: "Forget it, let him go to the Xuanfu. There has been nothing wrong with the Xuanfu for many years. In the future, Chahar will not let the general of the Xuanfu go to war. He will send some troops at most. We can still do it. As for Li Rusong...let him go back to town in Liaodong to take over from his father, and hope he won't be like his father."
