Chapter 59: Party strife resurfaces (please read the new chapter)

Hearing the "good news", Fang Congzhe was overjoyed. Could it be that Liaodong had won another battle? This good news came just in time!

The Donglin Party is really good at inspiring people. Even if it was a little later, they would probably be forced to take a stand.

Huang Jiashan heard that the Donglin Party was trying to force the palace at Donghuamen, so he hurried over as soon as he received the good news.

After all, he is a 70-year-old man, and this time he is really out of breath.

After adjusting his breath, he said excitedly: "Tieling General Li Xianzhong took advantage of the Jianlu army to besiege Shenyang and left Crow Falcon Pass eastward again. With the cooperation of General He Shixian, 3000 people from Zhenghong Banner were annihilated."

Liu Yijing and others were really shocked when Huang Jiashan shouted "big victory".

Seeing that the forced labor was about to happen, a good news came out.

However, they were relieved when they heard that only three thousand enemies were wiped out.

Although three thousand built captives is a lot, compared to the enemy who went deep into Shenyang and robbed tens of thousands of people of our Ming Dynasty, this killing was of no use at all.

Just as they were preparing to continue the attack, they heard Huang Jiashan say excitedly: "Then Li Shen will lead his troops deep into Jianzhou's lair, destroy many Jianlu lairs such as Mardun Village and Gule Village, and kill Jianluo 1 in the city wall. Twelve thousand, and rescued more than 1 border residents who were taken captive, and seized countless materials of all kinds."

Huang Jiashan actually took a "big breath" on the key content, and now the Donglin Party completely stopped.

Fang Congzhe excitedly took the battle report and read it again, and then shouted: "What a great victory, this is a plowing and sweeping of holes!"

Although Li Xianzhong did not attack Hetuala this time, he completely burned Gule Village, the second largest city in Jianzhou, and severely damaged Jianlu. It is not an exaggeration to say that he plowed the court and cleared the holes.

With this record, this expedition to Jianzhou can be considered a victory.

After all, the Jianlu were defeated under Shenyang City, but the Ming army went deep into the hinterland of Jianzhou and gained a lot.

Although the losses of the army are still greater than those of the captives, our Ming Dynasty has a rich family after all, and reinforcements from the mainland can continue to go to Liaodong.

Jianlu was seriously injured and might not be able to launch another attack in the short term, unless he planned to exterminate the Jurchens in Jianzhou.

At this time, the people watching outside Donghua Gate cheered when they heard that the Ming army had achieved such a great victory. This was also the first time that Li Xianzhong's name appeared in front of them.

At this time, Liu Yijing was no longer in the mood to perform the unique skill of "bumping into the coffin", and all the Donglin Party members left Donghuamen in disgrace.

Soon all the recent battle reports were in Wanli's hands, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Ming Dynasty finally regained a victory.

Although Yang Hao and Wang Keshou boasted about how they strategized, their achievements were nothing more than withstanding a feint attack by Jianlu on Shenyang and uncovering a group of spies.

As for attracting the main force of the Jianlu, whether they did it intentionally or passively defended is not that important.

Wanli knew very well that without Li Xianzhong's unexpected counterattack, the Liaodong region would have been plundered by the Jianqi again.

Of course, the supervisor, Yan Mingtai, was also remarkable. He took the initiative to lead 3000 troops to the rear, and reorganized the captives in Qinghe to cover the retreat of the main force.

It was precisely because of the desperate struggle between Li Xianzhong and Yan Mingtai that Yang Hao and others had the opportunity to withdraw the main force of the Ming army to Shenyang and Liaoyang.

However, he felt a little unfinished about the farce outside Donghua Gate. The Donglin Party ended up hastily like this.

Although the Donglin Party members have been fighting to the death with other parties over the years, they are surprisingly unanimous on two things.

One is to prevent him from making Zhu Changxun, the third son of Concubine Zheng, the crown prince, and the other is to oppose his sending "mine supervisors" to collect taxes across the country.

Anyway, these civil servants just couldn't get along with Wanli. Since they didn't let him get his way, he would definitely not make life easy for these civil servants.

Therefore, Wanli has always asked them to check each other and never let one party dominate.

Including the candidates for the first assistant, he first selected Shen Yiguan from the Zhejiang Party, then Ye Xianggao from the Donglin Party, and now Fang Congzhe from the Zhejiang Party.

He will never let one party occupy the position of first and second aid for a long time, thus forming a trend of being unable to lose the last one.

Fang Congzhe has been serving as the first assistant for five years, and he is quite satisfied with Fang's first assistant's work.Although he has no idea of ​​replacing the first assistant for the time being, he still has some concerns at this time.Now the Donglin Party members have basically been expelled from the court, and the three parties of "Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang" have become the dominant party.

Especially after the Liaodong War, I am afraid that a group of people from the Three Parties will be promoted and re-employed in Liaodong, which will cause the power balance between the DPRK and China to be too unbalanced.

Wanli is not satisfied with Yang Hao, the Liaodong coach.

Although he was able to calm down and stabilize the situation this time, he lost most of the nine elites in one battle. If the battle continues like this, he will definitely bring down the Ming Dynasty.

So he decided to intervene in the court's situation.

Emperor Wanli, who had always refused to fill vacancies, finally filled several vacancies at once this time.

Yuan Yingtai, a doctor in the Ministry of War, was promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of War, Liu Yijing, a young minister, was promoted to the left minister of the civil affairs department, Zhou Shunchang, the chief minister of the civil affairs department, was promoted to a doctor in the household ministry, and Yang Lian, a military officer, was promoted to the imperial censor of the capital procuratorate.

Wanli's filling of the vacancy directly caused an uproar.

First of all, these people and positions were not reported by the Ministry of Civil Affairs at all, but were directly appointed and dismissed by Wanli.

Although there are only four people, there are no top leaders like ministers of various ministries involved.

But they are all Donglin Party members, which undoubtedly sends a signal to the court that His Majesty will re-employ Donglin Party members.

Moreover, Liu Yijing and Zhou Shunchang were the protagonists of this "breaking into the palace and crying in mourning" incident. Obviously, this shows that Wanli is not satisfied with Yang Hao's strategy for Liaodong.

Such a result surprised the first assistant Fang Congzhe and the Minister of War Huang Jiashan.

Among them, the most terrible one is Liu Yijing, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The Ministry of Civil Affairs is in charge of the evaluation of officials. The Three Parties were able to expel the Donglin Party from the court mainly because they controlled the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Although Liu Yijing is only the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is now vacant, which is equivalent to him taking control of the Ministry of Personnel.

The information about Yuan Yingtai's appointment as the right minister of the Ministry of War is not simple. The right minister of the Ministry of War has always had the saying of "left inside and right outside", which means that the Donglin Party has the opportunity to intervene in external military affairs, such as the Liaodong War.

Fang Congzhe understood that His Majesty was worried about the cabinet and was afraid that it would engage in malpractice for personal gain, so he let the Donglin Party get involved.

It seems that the turmoil that started with the "Great Victory of Liaodong" did not end because of the failure of the Donglin Party members to "break into the palace to cry in mourning", but instead intensified.

The Donglin Party, which was originally defeated, was overjoyed. Although they failed to force Chief Fang to submit, they unexpectedly gained His Majesty's favor.

Many people began to envy Liu Yijing, and they regretted why they were not the ones who went to bump into the coffin.

At this time, Liu Yijing was intoxicated in everyone's flattery. In the past, there was "Hai Rui carrying the coffin to scold Jiajing", but now there is "Liu Yijing carrying the coffin to demand justice."

Therefore, whether Yang Hao turned defeat into victory during the "Great Victory of Liaodong" has once again become the focus of debate between the two parties.

Although the Ming Dynasty did achieve considerable results, Yang Hao's butt didn't seem so clean, and there were cases of false reports of results.

The most important thing is who should be responsible for the defeat of the two groups in the northwest?
The two sides have been wrangling over this for several days, but have not been able to come up with a result.

Fortunately, the Jianlu troops have withdrawn, and there is no war in Liaodong for the time being. Therefore, Fang Congzhe, the chief assistant of the cabinet, decided to transfer Liaodong economic strategist Yang Hao, Governor of Jiliao Wang Keshou, Kaiyuan general Ma Lin, Tieling staff general Li Xianzhong, and South Road supervisor Yan Mingtai. Go to Beijing and confront him.

Li Rubai, the former commander-in-chief of Liaodong, temporarily took charge of Liaodong's military affairs, and Liaodong governor Zhou Yongchun continued to be in charge of Liaodong's government affairs.
