Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 486
Liaodong is a topic that cannot be avoided by the Wanli Dynasty, Taichang Dynasty, Tianqi Dynasty, and Chongzhen Dynasty. The strong rise of Jianlu disturbed the Ming Dynasty.

Especially in the early years of the Apocalypse, due to disputes between the court and the central party, Xiong Tingbi, who was well-versed in the military, was withdrawn from the important areas of Liaozuo, headed by Shenyang and Liaoyang, and replaced by Yuan Yingtai to guard Liaodong. It collapsed, and then it was influenced by party struggles, which triggered a dispute between governors and governors, and also caused western Liaoning to be captured by Jian captives. In just two years, more than half of Ming's territory in eastern Liaodong fell.

The people involved in this have no merit or demerit, but what is hidden under this torrent is the problem caused by serious party disputes.

"Master, the decree issued by His Majesty may be difficult to carry out in Liaoqian." Mao Yuanyi looked worried, looked at the silent Sun Chengzong, and frowned.

"Although the current overall situation in Liaodong is beginning to be favorable to Ming Dynasty, and Jianlu's occupation of southern Liaoning seems to be a large-scale uprising, but Jianlu still has a lot of troops stationed in western Liaoning.

If we talk about withdrawing guards and setting up mansions in the Liaoqian area, it will inevitably touch the interests of many people, especially the hereditary guards.

Once those people know about it, they will definitely resist it openly and secretly, and even push them into a hurry, and they will secretly communicate with Jianlu in order to sabotage the withdrawal of the guards and the establishment of the government. "

"The concerns you mentioned are indeed very real."

Sun Chengzong was silent for a moment, then said: "That's why His Majesty's decree has been repeatedly emphasized that it should be determined according to the situation in Liaoqian, Liaoxi, Liaonan and other places.

The matter of withdrawing the guards and setting up the government must be done, but how to implement it must be judged according to the situation.

The governor thinks what His Majesty said is very kind.

Since sitting in Liaoqian, you have been following the governor for a long time, and you can see how many dirty things are hidden in the boundary of Liaoqian. "

Mao Yuanyi frowned, and his expression became serious.

How could he not be aware of Liaoqian's pickling?

I didn't pay much attention to this aspect before, so I don't know the benefits hidden behind it, but after the emperor pointed out this matter, under secret investigation, I found too many problems.

The Liaodong generals headed by the Zu family and the Wu family have a strong foundation in the various armies guarding the border, and they have also annexed a lot of land in Jinzhou, Ningyuan, Guangning Qiantunwei and other places.

Even in many guards, the land under the name has long since changed its nature and become the private property of a certain family.

Even if this is the case, without counting the dirty things like smuggling secretly, raising servants, etc., Liaoqian's foundation has become unclean very early.

"What is the supervisor planning to do?"

Mao Yuanyi thought for a while, and said with some hesitation: "The lower officials also know that withdrawing the garrison and setting up the mansion, and clarifying the area of ​​the garrison will be beneficial to both the Liao Dynasty and the imperial court.

But it is not easy for them to spit out the fat that has been eaten into their mouths.

Although people like Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang were all transferred out of Liaoqian by His Majesty, making Liaodong generals fall into a leaderless situation, their power and background are still there.

Even the lower officials seriously suspected that these guys not only secretly communicated with Jianlu, but perhaps also had inextricable connections with some people in the court. "

"Wait."

Sun Chengzong's eyes were firm and he said: "The matter of withdrawing the guards and setting up the mansion must be carried out. This is not only to reduce the burden on the court, but also to eradicate the cancer of the Liao Dynasty.

So this matter, either don't do it, or do it to the extreme.

Only by withdrawing the guards and setting up the government in the true sense can these propositions be realized, but this will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among many people.

Therefore, we need to wait for an opportunity, when Jianlu has no time to take care of others, even if there is chaos in Liaoqian, and he does not have the confidence to send troops to invade Liaoqian, then we can implement this strategy. "

"It's easier said than done."

Mao Yuanyi sighed lightly.

It is absolutely impossible to let go of such things as interests once you have tasted it. Unknowingly, the so-called Liaodong generals, under the influence of many factors, have been entangled in the pre-Liao Dynasty and in the court. A hidden web of interests.

It may be said that the Li family was eliminated, but who can guarantee that after the Li family withdrew from Liaodong, whether the ancestral family, the Wu family and other forces worshiped other mountains.

Party struggles not only exacerbated the chaos in court and official circles, but also complicated people's hearts.

In fact, in many cases, even if you know the truth, for various reasons, these truths are not revealed.

"nothing is impossible."

Sun Chengzong stood up and said in a firm tone: "Through almost a year, the situation in the Liao region has undergone various changes, and the governor found that he was wrong.

Wrongly predicted Jianlu's prosperity, but ignored their own disadvantages.

Huang Taiji, the chieftain of Jianlu slaves, is ambitious and even more prosperous than Nanurhachi. His appetite is not limited to Liaodong, he wants to seize more territories.

But now, the pan-Liaodong strategy proposed by His Majesty has stirred up the wind in Liaodong, and even the Liaonan garrison has begun to have many rebels appear.

Do you know what this means? "

"The supervisor means to say..."

When Mao Yuanyi was pointed out, his brows were slightly frowned, "The ministries of the grasslands near Liaodong, Jianlu can't continue to conquer, and they are busy suppressing the various places in Liaodong they stole. The defect of insufficient core population will be exposed."

"Not bad!"

Sun Chengzong said in a loud voice: "This is the natural defect of Jianlu. Before, they were strong and frightened the neighboring grassland tribes.

Now he is pinned down tightly.

If it is said that we not only continue to cross the sea by boat to harass the Jian captives in places such as western Liaoning and southern Liaoning, it will not be possible to completely suppress the Liaonan rebels.

And chose to open a barrier under the rule of Ningyuanwei, and send trusted people to sit in the town to transport the urgently needed salt, tea, cotton cloth and other items in the grassland. , pass it on, this is what His Majesty meant.

If this matter can be done well, it will not only further threaten the stability of Jianlu, but also continue to reduce the burden on the court. "

Mao Yuanyi worried: "But in this way, we can't guarantee whether contraband such as iron materials and firearms will pass through this barrier and flow to the grassland."

"It's really a big problem."

Sun Chengzong nodded and said: "So the governor plans to ask you to personally sit in Ningyuan and take charge of the Qaiguan. If you want to completely eradicate the bad government before the Liao Dynasty, you must do more things.

We cannot wait for good results if we are forced to wait, so we have to take the initiative. "

"The officer understands."

Mao Yuanyi heard the words, and said with a serious expression: "For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, the officials are willing to go back to Ningyuan and catch that question. No matter how many people are offended, it will never be called such a good thing, and it will eventually become a bad thing!!!"
