Baima Hutong in Beijing, the residence of Huang Daozhou.
It was already night, and most of the people had already fallen asleep, but in Huang Daozhou’s mansion, it was brightly lit. Zhan Shifu Shao Zhan was working on Huang Daozhou and was discussing state affairs with a group of Donglin Party cadres.
It's just that Huang Daozhou's face is very stern at this moment. He looked at the people in front of him and said: "Everyone, since the resignation of Brother Qidong, the power of my Donglin Party members in the court has declined even more."
"Yeah, yeah!" At this time, Yushi Lin Lanyou of the Metropolitan Procuratorate said bitterly: "Hate, now the country is difficult, but the court is treacherous, and the demons are dancing!"
The traitor in Lin Lanyou's mouth is the chief assistant Wen Tiren. Because his duties are similar to those of prime ministers in the Tang and Song dynasties, they are called traitor. As for the dance of demons, it certainly refers to the eunuch remnant Yang Sichang.
"Brother Youping (Zodiac Zhou Ziyouping), you have always been knowledgeable. What can you do to deal with this unfavorable situation now?" Then Lin Lanyou asked hopefully. Since Liu Zongzhou was dismissed, Dong Lin The banner of the party members was carried by Huang Daozhou.
"Well, tonight, the old man summoned everyone to come together to discuss matters. I really have some ideas." Huang Daozhou nodded and said: "I wait for the Donglin Party members to serve the country with all their heart, and to save this country in danger! Why have we repeatedly suffered setbacks?
Including this time, Brother Qidong impeached the traitor Yang Sichang. There had been hope for success, but he was dismissed from office by the Holy Supreme, and he was defeated! why? I found that one of the important points is... Our Donglin Party does not hold the military power! "
Hearing what Huang Daozhou said, everyone else showed a thoughtful look.
After all, this is also very obvious. When the Donglin Party crowd impeached Yang Sichang, if he hadn't had a good son, he might have been impeached! At least not as beautiful as it is now! But now...
And if it is extended, let alone the invasion of the Qing soldiers, high-ranking officials like Zhang Fengyi, Shangshu of the Ministry of War and Liang Yandong, the governor of Xuanda, were all forced to commit suicide!
On the contrary, it was those powerful generals. Although they lost the battle, they rebuked at most a few words. Even the civilian officials with military support behind them were mostly safe and sound. Therefore, in this situation, the Donglin Party members have control over the situation. Supporting troops is really necessary.
But the problem is that if these Donglin Party members want to engage in party disputes, all of them are experts, but when it comes to the military, they will be blinded.
At this time, Qianzeng frowned and said: "Brother You Ping is reasonable, but you and I are both literati. If you say you are loyal and patriotic, there is absolutely no shortage. But if you talk about training for soldiers. Yes, that's not what I am waiting for!"
"Yes." Huang Daozhou just nodded. As a great scholar at home and abroad, he has learned Chinese and Western, but he alone has no knowledge of military affairs, because this is what a vulgar martial artist can do, but now...
Zodiac Zhou has already figured out a good way.
He just said slowly: "Look, everyone, if you want to hold a military power, I think the army of the son of the traitor is the first! I heard that after this person became the commander of the town captive guard, he began to recruit and buy horses, and his strength rapidly expanded. , If such an army can be held in hand, it will be of great help to me..."
"It makes sense!"
These Donglin Party members all nodded their heads after hearing this. After all, Yang Shanlu was able to slay 800 tartars with 1,000 mysterious armor at the beginning, and slay the old slaves and Yangguli. This kind of strength is beyond doubt...
But can this kind of political enemy's army be in your hands
Seeing them in trouble, Huang Daozhou smiled: "Don't worry, you guys, I already have a plan for this, and that is to tell the emperor to send a prison army to the Xuanjia Army!
And this supervising army must have talents from my Donglin Party! In this way, we will be able to influence the Xuanjia army with the patriotism and loyalty and national righteousness that we are waiting for, and strive to get the military power in our hands! And to take a step back, even if the military power cannot be captured, the soldiers can still be taught to be loyal to the emperor and love the country and expand the influence of the Donglin Party members in the military. Isn't that a good thing? "
"It makes sense." Qian Zeng and others nodded frequently, feeling that it was a good way, not to mention that they all knew very well that the power of the supervising army was great!
Not only can he supervise Yang Shanlu in peacetime, and be equal to him, even when the situation is critical, he can also ask for the imperial decree to kill this dog! So with this kind of power, hehe...
But among these, Supervisor Yushi Lin Lanyou still has a question: "But as far as I know, the saint is very fond of Yang Shanlu, and even personally gave him a letter! Such trust, will he agree to send a supervising army? "
Huang Daozhou laughed when he heard it. Honestly speaking, he was not good at training soldiers and warfare, but in terms of playing word games, there was definitely a set of things. He just laughed and said: "You guys, rest assured, this thing is done. 80% sure!
Because we can say this to the emperor, the reason for sending a prison army is not because we don’t believe him, but because we care about him! Love him!
It is because this commander with a heavy hand is too young and inexperienced, so we sent a supervising army to escort him. "
"High! Really high!"
Lin Lanyou and the others had their expressions stretched after hearing this. They felt that this idea was very good, and they had already touched Chongzhen’s temper in the past few years. This is a person who is impatient and easy to trust, so just tell him Be tempted, it is not difficult to send a prison army.
"But Brother Youping, since the candidate for the supervising army is very important, but I wait for all of them to have important positions..."
"Maybe something—" Huang Daozhou said confidently: "I have already selected a talent in our Donglin Party! This person is not only upright, but also loyal to my Donglin Party. He is a suitable candidate!"
At this time, a family member of his staff came in to inform him: "Master, as you ordered, we have invited the Lord Zuo."
"Hurry up and let him in." Huang Daozhou laughed excitedly after hearing this: "Say Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived, our talents are here!"
Then I saw a person coming in from outside the door, this person was nearly forty years old, his face was fortified, and his eyes were as sharp as a falcon. This person is the famous Zuo Maodi! Later generations will be called Wen Tianxiang's existence at the end of Ming Dynasty!
"Haha Brother Zuo is here, please sit down soon, we will wait for you!" Huang Daozhou said hastily, because all of you present here are the leaders of the Donglin Party, so Huang Daozhou did not hide it, and waited until Zuo Mao took the seat. After that, I told him what I thought just now.
After Huang Daozhou finished speaking, Zuo Maodi stood up and said solemnly: "That's right, as long as the saint is willing to send a prison army, I will die for someone on the left."
"it is good!"
Huang Daozhou was overjoyed when he heard: "If this is the case, it should not be too late. Tomorrow the old man will enter the palace and tell the emperor about this matter."
"Yes, yes, it shouldn't be too late. If you can capture this powerful army in the world, it will definitely be a great help to me!" The Donglin Party members present here are all excited and inexplicable, as if they have seen it. good prospect forecast.
But what none of them saw was that outside the living room where they were talking, a servant of the Huang family was leaving quietly...
On the second day, Huang Daozhou went to the Palace Mian Sage. According to his qualifications, it was not difficult to enter the Palace Mian Sage. So after arriving in the Forbidden City, he quickly obtained permission to enter the Palace Mian Sage.
Then Huang Daozhou came to the warm pavilion of Qianqing Palace under the guidance of the little eunuch.
At this time, the early dynasty had just left, but Emperor Chongzhen was still reviewing the memorials on the imperial case. After seeing the arrival of the Zodiac Zhou, he asked: "The old gentleman is here specifically, can you have something important?"
Huang Daozhou just fell on his knees, paid a salute, and then said: "I tell the emperor, the minister does have important things, but it is for the newly appointed town captain commander Yang Shanlu."
"Oh?" Hearing Huang Daozhou mentioned Yang Shanlu, Chongzhen couldn't help but sit up straight. After all, Yang Shanlu now holds a decisive position in his heart.
"It turned out to be about Yang Aiqing, so what is going on?" Chongzhen asked.
"The minister heard that this person is expanding his new army aggressively for safety reasons, so the old minister suggested that the Xuanjia army should send a supervising army, and the emperor should decide."
"This..."
Chongzhen frowned. He was no stranger to the supervising army. He thought that when he first climbed into Dabao, because he was fooled by the civil official group, he recalled the supervising army sent by his brother Emperor Tianqi.
But now, as he became more and more disappointed with these civil official groups, he also sent more and more supervising troops to supervise various places that he thought was important, but now... The Xuanjia army also has to send supervising troops, This seems a bit wrong... After all, I believe in Yang Aiqing.
Seeing Chongzhen’s hesitating expression, Huang Daozhou had already prepared his speech, so he immediately said: "The emperor Qiqi, sending a supervising army to the Xuanjia army is not because he does not believe in Yang Shanlu, but because he is young and lacks experience. Yu loves him and protects his purpose, so he has to send a prison army." Then Huang Daozhou repeated the rhetoric he prepared.
"This..." After hearing this, Chongzhen had to say that he was a little moved...
From the bottom of his heart, he believed in Yang Shanlu, but he felt that Huang Daozhou's words also made sense. After all, Yang Aiqing was too young, so it would be nice if someone urged him.
In fact, there is another reason that Chongzhen himself did not realize it, or it can be said that it is the nature of the royal family. For this very important position, he subconsciously hopes to be firmly in his own hands...
Since this is the case, Chongzhen nodded and said, "I've got it right."
However, Huang Daozhou was not prepared to say goodbye, because according to practice, most of the guards sent by the palace were served by eunuchs in the palace. If Chongzhen sent a eunuch in the past, what happened to their Donglin party
So Huang Daozhou immediately said: "The Emperor Qizheng, because most of the Xuanjia Army is composed of military households, these people are ignorant and dull, so the veteran suggested not to send people in the palace, but to choose one from the hundred officials. Those who are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and talented, go to teach these military households to be loyal to the emperor and love the country, and it is more appropriate."
"Well, it makes sense." Chongzhen felt that it was reasonable, so he nodded and said, "If this is the case, can someone choose the old man?"
"Yes, the old minister recommended Zuo Maodi, the magistrate of Hancheng County. This person is loyal and patriotic, and has a talent. He is a suitable candidate for the military supervision." Huang Daozhou immediately threw out his ultimate goal.
"Well..." As for Zuo Maodi, he already had quite a reputation at this time, so Chongzhen knew very well that he was actually a member of the Donglin Party!
It's just... As Huang Daozhou said, it seems more appropriate to send him over than to send an eunuch.
After all, Chongzhen is very clear that the Donglin Party members are at odds with the Yang family and the father and son. If this is the case, if Zuo Maodi is sent over, he will definitely not wear a pair of pants with him, so he can do a better job of this supervising army. Come on...
"Okay, I am clear about this matter, and I will make an order tomorrow." Chongzhen nodded and said.
"The emperor Shengming." Huang Daozhou was very happy when he heard it, haha, finally succeeded! And if this happens, what will happen to Yang Sichang, you old boy!
Even if I can't bring the Xuan Jia army over, I will give you some eye drops!
After Huang Daozhou left the palace, a tea guest in a teahouse diagonally across from the palace saw a tea guest got up and left...
ps bowed and thanked the German flag captain for rewarding 888 iron blood again! And two consecutive reminders, affectionate, no return, so today's second chapter, the number of words are more substantial, ha ha.
In addition, I would like to mention a book friend. Today, I saw a full subscription user in the author's backend. When I saw his nickname, I stayed and "become clear" one by one! This is also true love... Thanks! (End of this chapter)
