Wei Ming wanted to give this year to An Ansheng, but there will always be people who don't think so. The twenty-eighth of the twelfth lunar month was over. Originally, the twenty-ninth lunar month was about to boil a big pot of meat to reward yourself after a busy year, but things went counterproductive. Before dawn, the imperial edict came, Xuan Weiming entered the palace immediately, and Zhu Youxiao's Long Nian was waiting outside.
"What did the emperor do in such a hurry? What happened?" Wei Ming asked in surprise. It stands to reason that if Zhu Youxiao finds himself to have private affairs, he is more willing to crawl out of the tunnel and come to the Institute of the Ministry of Industry to drink and discuss. And to declare oneself into the palace, that can only show that something big has happened.
"I don't know, the emperor just let the humble position Xuanweihou enter the palace, and didn't say anything else." the eunuch said. After getting dressed, Wei Ming hurriedly got into the carriage and slew towards the palace. At this time, the fence on the road has been removed and placed on both sides of the road. It seems that they have just received the order and have not had time to clean the road. Seeing this, Wei Ming's heart kept sinking. With the sway of the carriage and the cold wind blowing in from time to time, Wei Ming's mind became clearer. Now Liaodong is the only one who can have trouble. And Wei Ming is most afraid of accidents here. It stands to reason that this shouldn't happen. Sun Chengzong has already gone, this is the biggest nemesis of Jin in the Ming Dynasty. If he can't resist the post money outside the customs, then who can do it for Daming? I opened the curtains, breathed out a sulky breath in my chest, and watched the eastern sky being illuminated by the rising sun and the still black Googou cloud. The situation in Liaodong should be similar to this, right
When he entered the palace, Wei Ming was not even asked to get out of the car, but was pulled directly to the Imperial Study Room. Jumping out of the carriage, there were no steps in total, but Wei Ming stumbled two somersaults abruptly.
I opened the door to the room, and it was too late to clean the slush on my clothes. There were already a lot of people in the Imperial Study Room. Although Ye Xianggao is nominally the first minister of the cabinet, he has actually been at home at leisure. Now the one who is actually in charge of the cabinet is the academician Han Xu. The scholar of Wenyuange University who has been appointed internally, Zhu Guozhen, the official book of the Ministry of Ritual, is also there. After Zhu Guozhen became a bachelor of Wenyuange, Gu Bingqian, who was about to replace him as a bachelor of Dongge, was also there. There are also scholars of Jianji Temple, He Zongyan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Dong Hanru, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Zhao Nanxing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Liang Dingxian, and Wangji of the Criminal Ministry. The worst in a room is an old man who is still a scholar, and Wei Ming does seem to stand out from the crowd when he is standing here.
"What are you doing in a daze, come in quickly, it's quite cold." Zhu Youxiao seems to be sick, wearing thick clothes and running nose on his nose. In this way, still insisting on being there, it seems something really happened in Liaodong.
Wei Ming bowed to the emperor and sat next to Liang Dingxian. After Wei Ming returned to Beijing, he was only left with the position of Assistant Minister of the Engineering Department, and it felt awkward to sit here. But when the emperor asked him to come, Wei Ming couldn't help it, so just come. Liang Dingxian and Wei Ming belong to a small group. Except for Wei Ming, no one really wants to do it next to him. In the eyes of others, Liang Dingxian is just a villain who has run out of shit. Relying on a lighter, he slowly climbed to his current position. They couldn't understand Liang Dingxian, and Liang Dingxian would naturally not look at them. Sitting there alone felt good.
"You are all human beings, and you should have guessed what happened. That's right, something happened in Liaodong. The people in Houjin were crazy, and they besieged Guangning without death. My teacher insisted very much there. It's hard work. What can you do, hurry up and talk about it." Zhu Youxiao's opening remarks are so simple, but the bottom is exploded. It's one thing to think, but another thing to hear. Zhu Youxiao motioned to Wei Zhongxian next to him to talk about the situation, squinting his eyes and sniffing his nose there. It looks uncomfortable.
"Everyone, last night, Liaodong sent a rush for eight hundred miles. The messenger died when he arrived in the capital and placed the memorial in the basket that was handed down. So it is impossible to ask the messenger. The letter says , Houjin rushed to Guangning City like a mad dog, regardless of the heavy casualties, as if swearing to destroy Guangning City. Sun Jinglue's defense was very difficult." Wei Zhongxian saluted the emperor after he finished saying that he had finished. The task retreated behind the emperor.
Hearing Wei Zhongxian's words, Wei Ming really wanted to stand up and slap the animal. This is not scientific at all. How many defenders are there in Liaodong? Before Sun Chengzong went, it was 150,000. After Sun Chengzong left, it was still 150,000. But the one hundred and fifty thousand in the back and the one hundred and fifty thousand in the front are not the same. There are more than 150,000 vacancies in front of more than 10,000, and more than 10,000 retreat vanguards. The so-called vanguard of retreat is that this kind of person rushes forward when receiving payment. During the war, I was screaming, but screaming and running back. For this kind of people, it is said that even Houjin's cavalry could not catch up with them when they fled. For this kind of people, Sun Chengzong laughed and let them go, and then the people who ran back from Liaodong selected soldiers and added them to the army. He even kicked the old, weak, sick and disabled out of the army to make up for the vacancy. Not only that, but also established his own cavalry. There were not many cavalry soldiers, only seven thousand, all of them were selected from refugees who had died of wives, children, and old mothers. This kind of person, you don't need to mobilize at all when fighting, even if you don't even give them a knife or horse, they dare to rush to fight with the Houjin people with their fists and teeth. The hatred is too great, it has reached the point where either you die or I die. How many people does Jinneng have? Although a lot of Han people have been robbed over the years, some people are required to have food. Without food, even some people have to starve to death. If there were no potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn in Central Plains, many people would inevitably die of starvation, not to mention that they would be so poor that there was nothing. If ** Hachi can organize an army of 100,000, Wei Ming will cut off his head and kick the ball.
"Then dare to ask the emperor, how many people came from Houjin?" Wei Ming asked. He doesn't believe that 150,000 people can't hold a Quang Ning City? What a joke! Hachi can't beat it even if it's smashed to death. The current combat effectiveness of the Ming army is indeed a bit weak after Saerhu, but it is not so good that even a city can't be defended! What's more, Wei Ming has too much confidence in Sun Chengzong.
"One hundred thousand, Aye!" Zhu Youxiao said while sneezing. Wei Ming was taken aback. One hundred and ten thousand? How can it be
"How could this happen! **Hachi simply can't summon so many soldiers!" Wang Ji, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, stood up and said in horror. Shangshu of the Ministry of War is not a good place to sit now. Fighting every day, maybe when the war will be defeated. After losing the battle, who was the first to be unlucky? It must be a book from the Ministry of War. The general emperor on the battlefield is still out of reach, so I can only let you out. Only two of the two dynasties of Tianqi and Chongzhen stayed in the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of War for three years. You should know that during the period, there were more than 20 Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and they changed one every few months. This frequency basically went to the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of War. , It is equivalent to stepping into the prison of the Ministry of Justice with one foot, it is only a matter of time to go inside. When there were only tens of thousands of people in Hachi, the elite army of the Ming Dynasty could be wiped out. Now that people have hundreds of thousands, how much force do they need to be able to resist it? Millions? The Ming Dynasty can't be passed yet
"There weren't so many, but there was a traitor named Sun Degong. He surrendered to Hachi with 30,000 people." Wei Zhongxian said.
Hearing this, Wei Ming leaned back weakly on the chair. I told Sun Chengzong a long time ago that Sun Degong is a traitor, so why doesn't he have such a long memory? Do I have to wait until something happens to know that I made a mistake? How many heads are there enough for someone to cut? But after thinking about it, Sun Chengzong was kind enough to blame. Sun Degong is Wang Huazhen's confidant, and Wang Huazhen is the governor of Liaodong, who is also the second in command of Liaodong. Although he was under the control of Sun Chengzong, in fact, Sun Chengzong had no good way to take Wang Huazhen. Sun Chengzong is now facing the same problem as Xiong Tingbi faced in history, that is, Wang Huazhen is powerful in Liaodong, and most of his military power is controlled by Wang Huazhen. The reason why there is no such fierce contradiction between Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen in history is that Sun Chengzong had to make concessions to Wang Huazhen for the sake of the general trend. Sun Degong is Wang Huazhen's confidant, and it is not surprising that Wei Ming has 30,000 soldiers in his hand. However, the 30,000 army has followed Houjin like this? The situation in Liaodong becomes bad. Wei Ming now even had the heart to kill Wang Huazhen. With such an idiot, it is not surprising what Liaodong's erosion looks like.
"The emperor, in this situation in Liaodong, the first offense was to manage Sun Chengzong in Liaodong, and ask the emperor to give the emperor a lesson to cure Sun Chengzong's sin of losing his teacher and humiliating the country!" There are only a few people in the meeting. Who will jump out if he doesn't jump out? He knew very well that Sun Degong was Wang Huazhen's confidant. And Wang Huazhen is a member of the Donglin Party. If this matter is to be investigated further, Wang Huazhen must be responsible for the first crime. If Wang Huazhen's small actions in Liaodong were not supported by the Donglin Party, would he dare? And if Wang Huazhen is convicted, the Donglin Party will be unlucky. So now no matter what, Wang Huazhen must be fished out, at least the first crime cannot fall on him. Zhao Nanxing's purpose is as simple as that, but here are all discerning people who know what Zhao Nanxing wants to do. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is detrimental to the public. Ever since Sun Chengzong went to Liaodong, **Hachi also came to commit crimes, but he was beaten up every time. This fully shows that Sun Chengzong has the ability to contain or even eliminate ** Hachi. Now, for the benefit of the Donglin Party, Zhao Nanxing is going to kill Sun Chengzong. For this kind of person, no one will give a good look. However, the beauty of officialdom lies here. Even people who are not pleasing to the eye, big guys will smile when they are together, and seldom talk badly at each other. Once you start to greet you with a bad face, then it's time for you to die.
Wei Ming was a little worried. Sun Degong surrendered to the enemy. In any case, Sun Chengzong escaped the charge of being lax. But how can the crime be minimized? This is what Wei Ming has to do. If Sun Chengzong returns, then the situation in Liaodong will definitely become chaotic. Only genius knows what will happen then.
