Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 968
Wonderful!

Hearing what Xu Guo said, Zhang Siwei realized that it was really dark under the lights this time. Shanxi Town is certainly an important town in Jiubian, but because Shanxi Province has separately demarcated Datong Town and Xuanfu Town in the north, in fact The military strength of Shanxi Town is not strong.

Of course, this "not strong" also needs to be compared. The current registered military strength of Shanxi Town is about 7, and the actual strength can barely reach 5. If it is placed in the interior or some southern provinces, it is very strong.

However, the problem is that there are 12 registered in Datong Town, and 13 registered in Xuanfu Town. The two towns combined have a registered army of 25!Even the actual military strength is as many as 140 to [-]. This is the real heroic town. [Note: See Chapter [-] of this volume for the geometry of pawns on the nine sides. ]
Of course, due to the fact that the military center of the Ming Dynasty is tilted toward the "Eastern System", the troops in Jizhen and Liaodong are stronger, and the actual strength in the direction of Jizhen is as high as 12 to [-] (in fact, this data includes Shuntianfu and other areas other than Jingying) ); and Liaodong also has more than [-] actual troops on the list.

However, because Li Chengliang took most of the people who dared to fight and kill as servants, the soldiers of the Liaodong Guards lacked field combat capabilities, and most of the time they could only undertake the task of defending the city. Compared with other towns.

In any case, Li Rusong's going to Shanxi is definitely a promotion, but at the same time, he also lost the opportunity to make military exploits in Liaodong.

This is what Xu Guo called suppression.

Zhang Siwei didn't think of this just now, mainly because of "darkness under the lights", Xu Guo understood it as soon as he said it: the emperor didn't seem to want to see the Li family and his son make great contributions together.

However, Zhang Siwei didn't quite understand the meaning of the emperor. Although Daming suppressed military generals in terms of status, he was generally not afraid of military generals making meritorious deeds, and it was not uncommon for father and son to be famous generals. The famous father and son are Zhang Yu and Zhang Fu.

His father, Zhang Yu, was the most successful in Jing Nan, and his son, Zhang Fu, made peace in the South. Cheng Zu was worried that they would be too difficult to control.

Oh, but Zhang Yu died early, is it possible that the emperor is now planning to wait for Li Chengliang to die, and then use Li Rusong?

However, I heard that Li Chengliang's health is very good, and he doesn't seem to be able to die easily...

Seeing that Zhang Siwei seemed to be distracted, Xu Guo coughed lightly, lowered his voice slightly, and said, "Yuanfu, do you think there is such a possibility... The emperor felt that Li Chengliang's contribution was enough, so he secretly ordered Qiuzhen to suppress it." Squeeze him, then find an opportunity to let him retire, and then replace Li Rusong?"

Zhang Siwei came back to his senses, thought for a while, and said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out... Now that the emperor has released Li Rusong to be the general soldier of Shanxi, then in three years, his qualifications are enough, and he will be transferred back to Liaodong." It is also a matter of course. If there is indeed a task to suppress Li Chengliang in Liaodong, then he will definitely try to attack Li Chengliang's prestige until Li Chengliang has to resign... As long as he resigns, the emperor will be able to push the boat along.

Of course, the emperor might be more 'merciful', for example, asking him to resign three times before reluctantly agreeing. "

Hearing this, Xu Guo nodded, but there seemed to be something that he didn't fully understand. He frowned slightly and said, "The reason is such a reason, and it doesn't make sense. It's just that, even if Li Rusong returns to Liaodong, his impression of Qiuzhen It is bound to be bad, will there be some bad effects by then?"

Zhang Siwei didn't pay as much attention to military generals as Gao Gong did. He heard the words and said disdainfully: "What's the impact? If the emperor really wants Pragmatism to suppress Li Chengliang, then the day when Li Chengliang takes office must be the time when Pragmatism returns to Beijing, and before he returns to Beijing, I guess he won't stop at Yuanma Siqing..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Siwei himself felt a little unbelievable, and asked Xu Guo: "Weizhen, do you think you are too young to be pragmatic? Although you and I can clearly see the emperor's current behavior, but the twenty The governor in his early years... really sounds a bit jaw-dropping."

Xu Guo smiled wryly, and said: "Isn't that dumbfounding? But there's no way, there are some things that are not comparable. For example, I, Xu, won the Jinshi at the age of 39, but to be honest, he was earlier than me 20 years! What's more, he is still the number one scholar in the six poems, and he has been the top scholar for 200 years, so naturally he cannot be judged by common sense."

Xu Guo can be regarded as a person whose official career is very smooth. He entered the cabinet from Xinke Scholars in [-] or [-] years. Although it has been a few years since the suspension, the speed of promotion is still fast enough, and he mainly relied on the fact that he was a high arch student—— ——In this life, he joined the cabinet much earlier than in the original history.

And what about high pragmatism now?His identity is much stronger than Xu Guoke's, and his own capital is even stronger. Although he may become a governor in his 20s, when he thinks about it carefully, it is not so incomprehensible.

Six champions, Annan Dingbei.

These eight words are enough to deal with any doubts. If you have to talk about age, what's the point?Did you win six first prizes as a teenager?Did you settle down in Annan and Dingbei before you were 20 years old?

No?What nonsense did you say?Jealousy and jealousy?Yo, this is not what a gentleman does!

When Xu Guo said this, Zhang Siwei thought about it for the same reason, so he nodded to express his approval, then changed the subject and turned the topic back to Li Chengliang's memorial. He pointed to the memorial on the table and asked, "What does Na Weizhen think?" , how to draft a ticket for this matter now?"

Xu Guo thought for a while, and said: "Li Ru... should have commanded himself not to listen to Uncle Ning Yuan's orders, neither to visit the military constitution, nor to file a report or request for his enlistment. This is his own sin. What's the matter with Uncle Guan Ningyuan? Although Uncle Ningyuan is his uncle, after all, he is not in Fuzhou, and it is impossible to supervise everything. He has letters to guide him, but he can't predict whether he listens to the persuasion. Why should he take the responsibility for this matter? "

He coughed lightly, and continued: "Therefore, for this matter, we only need to pick Li Chengliang out. If the ticket is drafted, we will push everything to Li Rugui himself, and the next patrol will investigate and deal with it. Li Chengliang, on the part of Li Chengliang, warmly comforted him." Fan, it’s okay to say nothing.”

Zhang Siwei thought for a while, nodded and said: "This is okay. It can not only save Li Chengliang's face on the bright side, but also let his prestige in Liaodong suffer some blows. It shouldn't ruin the pragmatic thing."

Xu Guo smiled and said: "If you want to be honest, you probably wouldn't plan to use such a thing to force Li Chengliang to retreat. Besides... I always feel that Li Chengliang cannot retreat for the time being."

Zhang Siwei nodded again, and sighed: "Yes, if Li Chengliang retreats now, then Liaodong will be gone in no time—once his group of followers are gone, I think we can laugh out loud in our dreams." Come on, if we take advantage of the situation to disrupt Liaodong, and Qi Jiguang is far away in Daning, he can't move easily, and this good situation will be ruined."
