The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 18 The noble military minister’s big gamble!
Uncle?

Soup!

Tang Shaozong’s uncle!

Dongou Wangtang and his fourth generation grandson!

In an instant, Tang Hao understood the identity of this person.

He knew that someone from the Tang family would come, but he didn't expect that such a big shot would come.

The fourth generation grandson of Tang He, King of Dongou, and he is real. Unlike a fake like him, he is a noble Ming Dynasty noble with upright roots!
"Old man, please come in quickly!"

Hearing this slightly alienated address, Tang Li smiled slightly and didn't say much.

Walking into the front hall, when Guo Xun saw that the person coming was Tang Yan, he immediately stood up and saluted.

Speaking of which, Dongou Wang Tanghe's lineage and Weixiang Gong Guo Ying's lineage both belong to the founding honorary group, so they also have some contacts in private.

After all, everyone is from a down-and-out noble family, and it's quite a bit like "joining the group to keep warm" together.

Tang Er smiled and nodded in response, which was regarded as saying hello to Guo Xun.

The greatest advantage of Guo Xun is that he knows how to observe words and emotions, just like a eunuch.

So he wisely chose to say goodbye and leave, leaving time and space to his "own family" of the Lao Tang family!
After Tang Hao sat down, Tang Hao got up and prepared tea.

"No need to work!"

"What kind of tea do you want, a real man?"

"That's what girls only like to drink!"

Hearing this, Tang Hao felt a little funny.

This tea is not something only women drink, but something that literati like to drink, which can better demonstrate their noble status.

It seems that this cheap second uncle has a lot of resentment towards the civil servants and gentry!
Tang Er fetched a bowl, then poured a large bowl of wine from Guo Xun and drank it all in one go.

"Hahaha... so happy!"

"Guo Xun is quite a talented guy. He sincerely wants to make friends with you!"

"This 'Five-Spice Shaju' is the best liquor in the south of the Yangtze River. A bottle costs ten taels of silver. Normally I would be reluctant to spend money to buy and drink it, but this time I got the advantage of you!"

Tang Hao frowned when he heard this, sat down and continued to eat meat.

"Is our noble life so miserable now?"

"It's sad!" Tang Yi put down his wine glass, "The days are getting more and more sad!"

"The family fortune accumulated by our ancestors has almost been completely destroyed by now. After all, there are so many mouths and places to spend money everywhere."

"Your Excellency has never been able to get ahead, and he has no real power in his hands. If he does any profitable business, he will be targeted for impeachment immediately. If he doesn't earn enough money, he will be in trouble. Woe, do you think this life is sad?"

Tang Hao was stunned when he heard this, then smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"It shouldn't be like this!"

"Then there aren't any outstanding and outstanding noble disciples? The kind who can regain their glory and carry the banner?"

Hearing this, an inexplicable smile appeared on Tang Er's face, and that smile was very intriguing.

"Yes! Why not?"

"Isn't the old Zhang family the best example?"

"Generations of loyalty, marriage to the imperial family, and a stern family tradition, but if you look at the British father-in-law, will he have any future in this life?"

As soon as these words came out, Tang Hao was stopped.

The second generation British Duke Zhang Mao "had no other artistic talent in his life", this is the evaluation in the history books.

"Why is this happening?"

Tang Hao asked the question he was most concerned about.

According to Tang Yan, Zhang Mao was the son of the famous general Zhang Fu, and the old Zhang family had a strict family tradition, which was different from ordinary noble families, so this second-generation British Duke was definitely not a simple person.

He himself was born into a noble family and was an out-and-out general family. If this was the case, why did Zhang Mao never get the chance to lead the army in battle?
"Because the imperial court cannot tolerate a prince who can fight!"

Tang Pi sneered: "How did you get the title Duke of England? It was earned by King Zhonglie (Zhang Fu) who fought hard in the north and south!"

"One square site, three tied canal bosses, the grass is transformed into mulberry and hemp, and the sculptures are inscribed with the title of Huaxia. It is a kindly place with etiquette and customs, and it seems to be a prosperous hometown. Who in the world can compare with the grandness of etiquette?"

"But what's the result? Just because of the civil engineering fort incident, all the achievements in his life have been wiped out, and he has been slapped with a big hat. I really want to put all this civil engineering disaster on his head!"

"It was also that civil engineering disaster that completely ruined the great Ming Dynasty!" Tang Yan sighed, his old face full of sorrow.

Tang Hao fell into deep thought after hearing this, and the "civil disaster" appeared in his mind.

There is no need to go into too much detail about the reasons and process. After all, this is something that everyone knows. The Tumubao Incident was a landmark event that marked the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty.

Just looking at the results, it's very interesting.

The bad news of the Tumu Fort incident came and the entire capital was in chaos.

When those civil servants and gentry were busy noisily moving the capital and fleeing south, they did not forget to share the blame and convict the British Duke Zhang Fu, Cheng Guo Duke Zhu Yong, Taining Marquis Chen Ying and others!
What's the pot?

The civil engineering revolution is the cause of this disaster!

Indeed, who was the instigator of this catastrophe?
Undoubtedly it was the Ming Dynasty God of War Zhu Qizhen and the damned traitor Wang Zhen!
However, Zhu Qizhen is the Ming Emperor, the noble Ninth Five-Year Plan. He cannot make mistakes, and naturally he cannot take the blame.

Therefore, the first big pot must be placed on Wang Zhen’s forehead!

Wang Zhen was the main culprit. Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu ordered that Wang Zhen's family and party members be executed, and his family property was confiscated.

But in addition to Wang Zhen, the principal culprit, there must also be accomplices!
Who is the accomplice?

The British Duke Zhang Fu, the Duke of Cheng Guo Zhu Yong, the Marquis of Taining Chen Ying, etc., all the noble military ministers who accompanied Zhu Qizhen, the war god of the Ming Dynasty, one by one, don't even think about running away!

Are they guilty?
guilty!

As a minister of the imperial court, he failed to persuade the emperor and was controlled by the treacherous minister Wang Zhen, which caused great disaster to the country. Isn't this a sin?

Therefore, Zhang Fu, Zhu Yong, Chen Ying and other noble military ministers will also take the blame for this civil disaster!

You must know that at that time, the people in power were Yu Qian, Chen Xun and other civil servants and gentry. How they wanted to share the blame and convict them was not a matter of a word for them.

Because of Zhang Fu's outstanding achievements in his life, Emperor Jingtai did not dare to touch him. However, the second generation Duke Zhu Yong was different. He was directly deprived of his title and became a commoner. He died in vain and still had to bear infamy!
Then there will be a big liquidation, where those who deserve to be reduced will be reduced, and those who should be convicted will be convicted. No one wants to have an easy life anyway!

Wow, what a great show!

Tang Er drank the wine leisurely, and when Tang Hao had almost consumed it, he opened his mouth again.

"Boy, do you know about the disaster of Tumu?"

"Can you not know?" Tang Hao nodded.

"Then do you know why this civil engineering disaster happened?" Tang Li said with a smile.

Tang Hao was moved when he heard this and said with a smile: "What do you mean, my father-in-law... is there any other hidden secret in this?"

Tang Yan sighed heavily and his eyes became blurred.

"Actually, it was a huge gamble made by noble military officials!"

Gamble?

Honorable military minister?

Tang Hao's expression changed drastically!

Because he suddenly thought of a possibility!
That Tumu Fortress Incident was probably a wrestling match between civil servants and gentry and noble military ministers!

"Since the beginning of Sanyang, all major military and state affairs have come from the cabinet. The noble military ministers have gradually declined, while the civil servants and gentry have continued to rise strongly due to the increasing power of the cabinet..."

"At that time, Prince Wulie (Zhang Fu) was very old, and the other noble military ministers were all useless. Including the Duke of Cheng, Zhu Yong, no one could take charge of the overall situation on his own, and no one could succeed Wu Lie. Liejun Prince carries the flag for the nobles!"

"so……"

Tang Hao sighed.

"So you took action?"

"Is that why there was that civil engineering revolution?"

"So the noble military minister wants to take this opportunity to complete a great victory, to renew the generation, and to support a group of young and promising new forces?"

"So the noble military ministers want to use this opportunity to spawn a group of nobles from the Northern Expedition, take over the banner from Zhang Fu, the king of Wulie County, and compete with the civil servants and gentry, right?"

"This is indeed a huge gamble for you!"

Tang Hao clicked his tongue in surprise, then sneered again and again.

"But have you ever thought about it?"

"If we lose that battle, then the noble military minister will be completely doomed!"

"And it turns out that you really lost the bet, you were completely defeated and completely ruined!"
