Zuo Liangyu had been in Henan for a long time. When the bandit situation in the Central Plains was serious in the last lunar month, Yushi Hou Xun appointed Zuo Liangyu as Changping's lieutenant general and led more than [-] Changping soldiers to northern Henan to suppress the bandits. He was under the command of Henan governor Xuanmo.At the beginning of the year, several thieves from Shanshan and Shanxi were oppressed by Hong Chengchou to break through the natural danger of the Yellow River and break into Henan. Kaifeng and other big cities ended up losing two prefectures and dozens of counties within a few days. At a critical juncture, Zuo Liangyu led his troops across the Yellow River.

Zuo Liangyu was the deputy general of Changping, and he brought more than 2000 Changping soldiers to Henan. However, according to Wen Tiren's knowledge, the left team fought several consecutive battles in Henan. Ma, and Henan officials have made many memorials, impeaching the left for the corruption of military discipline, and many of them killed good men and pretended to be meritorious.However, when these memorials were sent to the cabinet, they were unanimously suppressed by everyone in the cabinet.

He Ruchong, Zheng Yida and others suppressed the memorial to impeach Zuo Liangyu because Zuo Liangyu was protected by the censor Hou Xun, and Hou Xun was inextricably linked with the Donglin Party. Of course, the most important point is that, Zuo Liangyu is a very important pawn for them - Zuo Liangyu's cooperation is indispensable for Liaodong's affairs.If this will take him down, things in Liaodong will be difficult to say.

The reason why Wen Tiren suppressed the next chapter couldn't be simpler, the court really didn't have any generals to fight.Since the Saerhu War, Ming Dynasty has used troops in Liaodong every year. There have been several large and small battles, and almost exhausted all the capable soldiers in the country, and most of those capable generals were buried in the white mountains and black waters.Right now, soldiers are used everywhere, generals are everywhere, wherever they are drawn, they will complain, and there are too few generals who are willing to sacrifice their lives.It is wrong for Zuo Liangyu to expand his troops privately, and it is true that the military discipline has been corrupted, but these are not worth it.As far as the current situation is concerned, if Zuo Liangyu is punished, I am afraid that all the south of the Yellow River will fall into the hands of thieves again.Wen Tiren still had the overall situation in mind, so he could only choose to remain silent.

However, it was Hou Xun's idea to transfer Zuo Liangyu to Henan in the first place, Wen Tiren made the decision, and now Xu Guangqi wants to keep him in Henan, Wen Tiren thought something wrong, although he knew that Zuo Liangyu was capable, but Just let him go, but don't care about him.After a little hesitation, he interjected: "Your Majesty, Zuo Liangyu is originally in Henan. Why did the Henan gentry turn a blind eye and ask the imperial court for help?"

"What does Fu mean?" Chongzhen was also a little surprised, there was something wrong with this matter.

Wen Tiren said calmly: "I think it's because of Zuo Liangyu's lack of qualifications. In my opinion, if you want to send a good general to sit in Zhongzhou, it's better to transfer Cao Wenzhao. If you have a Wenzhao, you can go to Henan. People will take care of you." But Daan."

"Well, Cao Wenzhao is good, and Chen Qiyu praised him in the memorial." Chongzhen said while digging out Chen Zhe from the case, "He said that Cao Wenzhao was loyal and loyal, and he was consecrated for years. , Breaking through the formation and beheading the generals, destroying the dead and destroying the decayed, the body is successful, the battles have been victorious, the heroic style is magnificent, and there is the style of the famous generals in ancient times. Nowadays, there are few generals who are on the right." Speaking of this, he paused and read Look at Xu Guangqi, "Hong Chengchou also said that Cao Wenzhao is great, and you often say in front of me that he is a rare and good general. Let me ask you, is this Cao Wenzhao really as good as Chen Qiyu said?"

Xu Guangqi replied in affirmation: "Shaanxi people say that Cao Wenzhao is the number one general in Ming Dynasty!"

:) Wen Tiren also nodded and said: "Wen Zhao is indeed worthy of this title."

As soon as Chongzhen's expression moved, he was about to speak, but Xu Guangqi said again: "However, the edict cannot be lightly tuned. The imperial court ordered him to restrain the generals in Shanshan and Shaanxi a few years ago, so as not to have different orders. The armies are fighting on their own. I just saw As a result, we will be transferred from Cao Wenzhao, and I am afraid that the situation will collapse again."

"Old Aiqing is right. It is not necessary to change the order from day to day." Chongzhen nodded, and stopped thinking about changing Cao Wenzhao, and said to himself: "Let Zuo Liangyu be in charge of Henan. He is also a rare good general. Can share my worries for me."

"Observe the order." Knowing that this matter could not be obstructed, Wen Tiren lost his mind.Chongzhen put Chen Qiyu's memorial back to its original position, then looked at Xu Guangqi, and asked in a very ordinary way: "Old Aiqing, Sun Yuanhua and Zhang Tao are your apprentices, how do you think about it?"

"Your Majesty!" Xu Guangqi knew that this was his last chance to save his apprentice, so he hurriedly said, "Kong Youde was sent back to Yuanhua because of his gratitude to Yuanhua. But the three of Yuanhua left Dengzhou and rushed to the capital to meet their sinners." , which shows his loyalty to the king."

"Really?" Chongzhen curled his lips and snorted, "Although he has a rebellious heart, is there any such thing as greedy ink and bribery? Is it also loyal to the emperor to take my military salary and soldiers' life money to fill his own pockets and bribe ministers?"

Hearing this, Xu Guangqi fell to his knees with a "plop". He didn't expect that the matter of Yuanhua and others taking money to clear the way had already been known by the emperor, and his heart was cold. , Yuanhua, Wang Zheng, and Zhang Tao are not only proficient in Western military art, but also proficient in firearms. They are indispensable talents in the court at present. Yuanhua has written

"What's wrong?" Chongzhen looked at Xu Guangqi and asked.

"Apocalypse Feng Yi went out to visit the cities of Qiantun and Ningyuan. He once said, 'Today it is impossible to discuss and suppress, and it is impossible to talk about war. The plan is to stick to it. The mountains and seas should be the foundation, Ningyuan should be the gateway, and Guangning should be the sentry.' The meaning is exclusive. Keeping the gate. The former Fubao regularly built Wei Zhongxian's ancestral hall, but later all those who built the ancestral hall were involved in the case of rebellion, and Feng Yi was excused because he was a frontier minister."

What Xu Guangqi meant was that Zhang Fengyi was contemptuous and cowardly, dark and cunning, skilled in seeking profit and skillful in avoiding danger, so he was not a person who could be a great leader.

Wen Tiren immediately retorted: "After Liu Ce, Feng Yi acted as Liu Ce's governor of Jizhou and Baoding in military affairs, and he had the merits of Fu Zun and Yong Sicheng. To the west of Feng Yi, the association was single and weak. The military reserve, the far-sighted sentry to investigate the number of things, down-to-earth, step by step, I think it will be of great use."

Chongzhen knew that Zhang Fengyi and Sun Chengzong had different opinions, but at this time he was hating Sun Chengzong, and the defeat of Dalinghe also made him suspicious of Sun Chengzong's single-minded way of advancing eastward, and he couldn't think of a suitable candidate for a while. Take a look, if it's unusable, it's not too late.However, he didn't think about the important officials of the court, and he was an official of the Ministry of War. How could he use it first?

"Zhang Fengyi's entry into Prince Shaobao, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Shiyin Jinyi's business." After thinking for a while, Chongzhen said again, "Zhang Fengyi, Min Hongxue, Zhang Yandeng, and Liu Silai will see me on the platform tomorrow."

After the announcement, it was another matter. Wen Tiren and Xu Guangqi resigned, and Chongzhen went to Kunning Palace accompanied by Wang Chengen.After Wen and Xu came out, Xu Guangqi could hardly hold on.After all, he is getting old, Sun Yuanhua and Zhang Tao are his beloved disciples, Wang Zheng is also his old friend, he is of the same age, he is of the Western school, he is known as the "King of South Xu and North", but now he wants to join hands with Huangquan Road, what does he think? Can it be painless!

Wen Tiren knew the grief in his heart, and saw that he was not supported, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and persuaded: "This is the end, sir, please take care of yourself!"

Xu Guangqi's face was serious: "Oh, Master Fu, this old man is dying. I only hope that my disciples will inherit what I have learned all my life, but now my most proud disciple is about to die. Do you think this old man can feel better?"

Wen Tiren didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only support Xu Guangqi to move forward slowly, while saying: "My lord is the leader of the new school, and the country is riddled with holes. Only the lord and others plan, and there is hope for recovery."

"There is hope for heaven? Those who can return to heaven are dead! The traitors Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming are the generals brought out by Mao Wenlong; Isn't "rape" clear enough? Shouldn't "Mao" Wenlong be killed? Why is it so holy..."

"Hush!" Wen Tiren subconsciously stopped Xu Guangqi, shook his head, and sighed: "Because of this, the boss should share some burdens for the emperor, and also for me."

Xu Guangqi smiled wryly, what else could he do now, the western learning he was so proud of was destroyed by Kong Youde and Li Jiuzheng, he didn't know what else he could do if he stayed in the court.

Walking forward for a certain distance in silence, Xu Guangqi suddenly stopped and looked at Wen Tiren as if there was something unspeakable.

"My lord, just speak up if you have something to say." Wen Tiren vaguely knew what Xu Guangqi wanted to say.

Sure enough, Xu Guangqi begged him, "As the assistant of all officials, if you can speak up, I'm afraid things will turn around."

After hearing this, Wen Tiren looked at Xu Guangqi with a complicated expression. After a long time, Fang shook his head and said in a low voice, "Auxiliary is also a minister." :)
