Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 2140 Chief Baikui ([-]th) Liu Zhen was impeached
Wenyuan Pavilion is heavy, and a cabinet meeting is being held in the small meeting hall on the left side of the cabinet Datong room.

Since the emperor had successively vetoed several proposals by the new chief assistant, Gao Yushi, on adding cabinet ministers, and with the departure of Wenhuadian University scholar Shen Yiguan a few days ago, there are now only three cabinet ministers in the cabinet: Zhongjidian University Shi Gao is pragmatic, Zhao Zhigao, a scholar of the Jianji Temple, and Zhou Yong, a scholar of the Wuying Temple.

Gao Wushi and Zhou Yong are both elders of the Real School, needless to say, Zhao Zhigao, the second assistant, became the only representative of the Mind School in the pavilion.However, due to the aftermath of the "medicine diet case", Zhao Zhigao's son was accused of collecting and embezzling salt tax, forcing this important minister of the Mind School to give in to Gao Yushi, which has actually changed his hostile position against the Real School.

In this way, the current cabinet finally doesn't have to quarrel anymore, and everything can be done with the pragmatic attitude of the chief minister.However, there was a little accident today.When Gao Wushi showed Zhao Zhigao a piece of bullet, the elder from Nanbang didn't speak for a while.

This bullet was made by Xu Sanwei, the governor of Gansu Province. He impeached Liu Ting, the admiral of Zhengxi and the commander-in-chief of Sichuan, for his ineffectiveness in fighting, and let go of Bu Rihatu, the Grand Master of Mengyuan of the Chahar Department.At the same time, he also accused Liu Ting of disobeying military orders. It was precisely because he did not report his actions in time and used troops privately, which led to Burihatu's "calmly breaking through" and so on.

As governor of Gansu, Xu Sanwei's accusations against Liu Ting are undoubtedly very serious.Because according to what he said, Liu Ting not only offended the tradition and authority of civil servants commanding troops, but also caused serious consequences.The civil and military status of the Ming Dynasty is very different. If Liu Chen is convicted of the crime, it seems that it is not too much to be sentenced to be executed under the two punishments.

So, why didn't Zhao Zhigao speak?Because before this bullet, Liu Ting's letter of victory had already been delivered to the cabinet.In the Baojie book, Liu Ting described in detail the process of using troops after he dispatched troops to Gansu this time. If his description is true, then in any case, he should have made great achievements rather than "ineffective combat".

According to what Liu Ting said, when he hurried all the way to Shandanwei not far to the east of Ganzhou, he received instructions from Gansu governor Xu Sanwei. The main force of Brihatu's troops who withdrew from the city and escaped.

At that time, Liu Ting's headquarters was not fully assembled, and there were only [-] forwards around him. It might not be enough to force the main force to pursue Burihatu, and there was even a hidden worry of being severely defeated by Burihatu.However, considering that the order of the governor of Gansu could not be ignored, Liu Ting decided to catch him by surprise and personally led [-] cavalry from his headquarters to attack Suzhou across the mountains.

After two days of arduous raids, Liu Ting's troops arrived at Weluburg, not far from Suzhou.He joined forces with the "local militia" in Weilubao and launched a surprise attack on Suzhou, during which he also wiped out a group of Mongolian explorers.

Due to the sudden arrival of Liu Ting's troops, the Mongolian army in Suzhou City was caught off guard and lost control, and was killed into the city before closing the outer city gate.However, things didn't go smoothly all the time. The Mongolian army closed the gate of the Wengcheng at the last moment, which led to the failure of Liu Tingjun's plan to break the city in one fell swoop.This made Liu Ting's army pay the price of more than two hundred elite cavalry to enter the city.

After entering the city, it was not smooth. The Mongolian army, which had already woken up, fought fiercely with Liu Ting's troops in the city.At this time, Liu Ting discovered that the Mongolian army in the city was not all cavalry, but there were many musketeers.These musketeers who didn't know the details were using quite good muskets to shoot after Luchai and Juma, causing a lot of casualties to Liu Ting's troops who were all equipped with cavalry.

Fortunately, Liu Ting responded in a timely manner, first mobilizing the "Weilubao militia" to set up a musket formation to shoot at him, and then personally leading an elite cavalry to kill through the flank line, and went around to the main street to launch a fierce attack on the Mongolian musket position. Defeated the main force of the Mongolian army in the city.

After the defeat of the main force of the Mongolian army, the defeated army fled in two ways.Flee all the way west to Jiayuguan to establish a defense line, and flee all the way east to find the Burihatu department, the main force of the Mongolian army, behind Liu Ting's department.

Liu Ting's troops suffered considerable losses in the city. They had [-] cavalrymen and more than [-] "Weilubao militiamen" on hand, and now about [-] were killed in battle, and more than [-] were injured. The defensive Jiayuguan was also unable to go out of the city to pursue the enemy in the east-after all, there may be the main force of Brihatu here.

Therefore, Liu Ting could only strengthen the city defense immediately after clearing out the remnants of the enemy in Suzhou City, and prepare for the main offensive of Brihatu.

This judgment was quite timely, because the main force of Brihatu had already rushed to the city of Suzhou early the next morning.At this time, Burihatu already knew that he was being swayed by Liu Ting, and he obviously came here with hatred.As soon as he arrived at the city of Suzhou, he made a gesture of vowing to conquer Suzhou. His entire army was about 6 people, all of whom camped outside the range of the artillery of the Ming army and put on a strong attack.

Fortunately, it was getting late at this time. After firing cannons on the Suzhou city tower to frighten the Mongolian army, Buri Hatu had to stop the attack in the face of the night.However, Liu Ting's party took advantage of the last sunlight to detect through binoculars that the Mongolian army had begun to prepare siege equipment.

Faced with this situation, Liu Ting did not dare to be careless. That night, while arranging people to guard against the Mongolian army's night attack and stealing the city, he counted gunpowder, artillery and other supplies in Suzhou City to deal with the Mongolian army's onslaught tomorrow.

However, the next morning, an accident happened.The Mongolian army camp had withdrawn for more than ten miles at some point, and it hadn't left the camp to fight until halfway through the morning, as if some conspiracy was brewing.

Liu Ting waited for another half an hour. Seeing that the Mongolian army camp was still dead, he finally couldn't bear to personally pick more than [-] people out of the camp to investigate.As a result, the camp of the Mongolian army was empty, and the [-] troops disappeared without a trace. Wooden dummies were placed at the camp gate and other places that could be detected by the telescope of the Ming army. A, from a distance, it looks like the Mongolian army is in business as usual.

Only then did Liu Ting realize that Burihatu had played with the golden cicada to escape the shell last night, and the Mongolian army had already escaped by detour.This time, the two drew a tie to some extent, calculating each other's game.

After Brihatu left, Liu Ting remembered one thing: Although the Hexi Corridor is a "corridor", Suzhou is just a city in the corridor, and it is not built in the middle of a certain pass to block the passage.More than a hundred miles around Suzhou City are "corridors", which can be allowed to pass by the Mongolian army.

In other words, as long as Burihatu didn't really make up his mind to insist on capturing Suzhou again, he could go around at any time and ignore Suzhou and the Liu Ting tribe in Suzhou city.

Fuck, miscalculated.

Liu Ting immediately realized this, but it was of no use. The plan to intercept Brihatu's main force had gone bankrupt.He regretted it very much at the moment, and later realized that if he really wanted to block Burihatu's way, he should have continued to attack Jiayuguan yesterday regardless of the casualties-Jiayuguan is the real pass. A trend of closing the door and beating the dog has formed.

Of course, whether the dog can be beaten or not is another matter.

In short, the current situation is that Suzhou has indeed recovered, but Brihatu still has the initiative to evacuate at any time, and he can even choose to join the Mongolian army from the direction of Jiayuguan and fight back to Suzhou again.

After thinking about it, Liu Ting realized that his strength was really not enough to attack Jiayuguan at such a moment, so he had to send all Ye Bujian to contact Ganzhou to mobilize troops to Suzhou, and then decide how to recover Jiayuguan according to the situation.

Ganzhou received news from Liu Ting two days later.Xu Sanwei was overjoyed at first when he learned that Liu Ting had taken back Suzhou with a surprise attack, but immediately turned gloomy, and sternly rejected Liu Ting's request to mobilize the Ganzhou army to go to Suzhou.

Not only that, he also publicly accused Liu Chen of predicting the enemy's miscalculation, and let the Brihatu troops withdraw to Jiayuguan intact.According to what he said, the main force of Burihatu's troops did not suffer any losses but controlled the crucial Jiayuguan Pass. The Mongolian army may attack and harass eastward at any time.

In particular, Xu Sanwei believed that if Jiayuguan was not recovered, Suzhou would be in danger.The more Xu Sanwei said, the more he got angry. He said that it was not just Suzhou. Since the Mongolian army in Jiayuguan was still strong, once the Ganzhou army was transferred to Suzhou, the Mongolian soldiers could rely on their mobility and even consider playing the game of building plank roads to hide Chencang. : On the one hand, they deceived the Ming army in Suzhou City and forced the main force of the Ming army in Suzhou to stay on the defensive by various means; on the other hand, they used the main force to attack Ganzhou.

At that time, the main force of Ganzhou has been transferred westward to Suzhou, and the city defenses are empty. Maybe the Mongolian army will take advantage of the vacancy. Like Liu Ting's recovery of Suzhou, he will be attacked by surprise. Can Liu Zongrong take this responsibility?
When the Ganzhou defenders heard the order, they were not allowed to send troops in the city by Xu Sanwei. However, the rest of Liu Ting's troops who had just left for Ganzhou from Shandanwei were furious when they heard the news.Liu Tianfeng couldn't suppress the rage in the army, so he had to disregard Xu Sanwei's strict order and lead the remaining vanguard army of Liu Ting's department with more than [-] people westward to join Liu Ting in Suzhou—this is Xu Sanwei's accusation that Liu Ting's department did not obey the military order origin.

Liu Ting, who was in Suzhou, waited for several days, only to wait for the rest of his vanguard army to arrive. He was also so angry that he cursed Xu Sanwei, saying that he really lived up to his name, and he really "feared" the enemy like a tiger. At this time, I'm still worried about what ghost Ganzhou is going to be attacked by Brihatu!

According to what Liu Ting said when he scolded Xu Sanwei in front of his subordinates, Brihatu was not even willing to attack Suzhou, which had just been captured, so how could he turn around from Jiayuguan to attack Ganzhou again!Besides, the most critical question is, why is he going to beat up Ganzhou at this time?

Think about it, if the main force of the Mongolian army went to attack Ganzhou, Jiayuguan would be empty of troops. At this time, the main force of the Ming army was in Suzhou. As long as they went to win Jiayuguan, wouldn’t the main force of Burihatu be blocked in the Hexi Corridor and unable to fly? ?Who else in the world is stupid enough to fight like this?If there is such a fool, it can't be Brihatu, it can only be you Xu Sanwei!
Of course, Xu Sanwei would not be so stupid.The reason why he wanted to do this kind of thing, in the final analysis, was to subdue Liu Ting and let Liu Ting know that the title of "Admiral of Zhengxi" on his head was not easy to use in Gansu, and he still had to listen to the command of the governor of Gansu!
Although theoretically the governor and the chief soldier cannot be directly distinguished because of the difference in civil and military skills, the reality is that the governor who may be of a lower rank can command the chief soldier of a higher rank in name.Therefore, although Xu Sanwei's approach was rough, after such incidents happened in the past, the imperial court would still protect the governor with a high probability and force the general to subdue.

Liu Ting knew the court's consistent temperament, so he knew that his subordinates' disobedience to Xu Sanwei's order had already created trouble for him, so he could only quickly write a letter of victory and send it to the capital first, hoping that Gao Yuanfu's eyes were as sharp as a torch, and he could see through it at a glance. Among the reasons, reach out and give yourself a helping hand.

His prudence did have an effect, and Gao Wushi immediately discovered something was wrong after receiving the report.However, Gao Wushi didn't act immediately, but waited for Xu Sanwei's memorial to arrive, and after comparing the two, he thoroughly understood the root cause of it, and then called the other two cabinet ministers for a meeting.

At the meeting, Gao Wushi took out Liu Ting's victory report first.Needless to say, Zhou Yong said that Liu Ting's surprise attack was very successful. Although Jiayuguan has not yet been taken back, as soon as the main force of the Western Expeditionary Army arrives, Jiayuguan will definitely be taken back sooner or later.Zhao Zhigao was not very happy to praise Liu Ting, but because he had already given in to Gao Yushi, he could only reluctantly say that Liu Ting did a good job, "we can wait and see the aftermath."

Then, Gao Wushi took out Xu Sanwei's bullet.Now, Zhao Zhigao's expression turned ugly.

There is a situation here: Zhao Zhigao is from Jinhua, Zhejiang, and Xu Sanwei is from Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Although the two are not of the same age, at least they are both from Nanbang, and they are both from the Heart School. It's one of our own.

Now here comes the problem, although what Xu Sanwei said in this bulletin should be "facts", but everyone has discussed Liu Ting's actions just now, and "unanimously agree" that he has done a good job.Now that the words are still in my ears, if I immediately turn my face and say that there is something wrong with Liu Ting because of Xu Sanwei's impeachment, wouldn't he be slapping himself?It's too embarrassing.

Gao Wushi looked at Zhao Zhigao expressionlessly, his face turning green and then pale, and he couldn't help laughing. He was about to speak, when Zhao Zhigao sighed and said, "It's really a big taboo to have civil and military discord before the battle, Yuanfu... "

"Yes!" Gao Wushi immediately cut off the second half of Zhao Zhigao's sentence, nodded and said, "Liu Ting is the admiral appointed by the imperial court to conquer the west, and he is responsible for the follow-up operations, so he can't change his general just because of this, it seems..."

He pretended to be very sorry and let out a long sigh, and said, "I'm going to wrong Xu Lizhai for moving."

Zhao Zhigao's complexion changed, as if he couldn't believe his ears, he asked: "What? Yuanfu is going to be a military official and change to Fujun? Yuanfu, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles after this move, please think again."

Gao Wushi smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry about this assistant, just listen to me."
