It was almost impossible for the Ming clan to rebel, not to mention that Zhu Shenzui was just a low-level clan.
Zhou Anmin couldn't be wrong in his judgment, but Zhu Shenzui was an exception, and what Zhu Shenzui had been thinking about was not to truly rebel, but to prepare for the coming storm.
It is said that Qin lost its deer, and the whole world chased it away.
When the troubled times came, Zhu Shenzui, as a member of the clan, would have an innate advantage. If he had enough power at that time, he would have a chance by relying on the name of the descendant of the Jin Dynasty, the legitimate son of old Zhu.
"Li Hu?" After listening to Zhu Shenzui's story, Zhou Anmin silently wrote down the name, and then said to Zhu Shenzui: "I need to find someone to inquire about this matter, which will take at least one or two days, or at most three days." That’s all, I’ll tell you when I have the news.”
"Then please leave it to my brother-in-law." Zhu Shenzui raised his glass.
After clinking glasses with Zhu Shenzui, Zhou Anmin smiled and said, "It's all a trivial matter, but even if Li Hu is available, people are far away from each other, so you need to be more careful on weekdays."
"This little brother knows it well. Thank you brother-in-law for reminding me." Zhu Shenzui drank the glass in one gulp and nodded.
It is essential to be on guard against others. Zhu Shenzui has always been cautious in doing things. Zhou Anmin knows this. This is what he admires most about his brother-in-law. But Li Hu and the people in Wangjia Village are different. They are outsiders. It is okay to use it if it is available, but it also needs to be used how to use it, and they must also be careful.
"Brother-in-law, I read the post a few days ago. The imperial court was shocked by the defeat of Liaodong. Is there any news from there recently?" After drinking more wine, Zhu Shenzui put Li Hu's affairs aside for the time being and inquired about the imperial court's affairs. News comes.
Zhou Anmin sighed, shook his head and said: "You also know about Sarhu. Now there is almost a quarrel in the court. Many people want to hold coach Yang Hao accountable. There are many people who suggest killing him, but we must protect him." His are better too.”
"Now Yang Hao is being escorted back to the capital and thrown into the sky prison. He is being guarded by the Jinyi Guards. However, the adults in the court are quarreling and there is still no opinion on how to deal with him."
"What? The emperor hasn't killed him yet?" Zhu Shenzui was a little surprised when he heard this. Yang Hao was a man of great ambition and talent. During the crisis of the war, he actually plotted to eliminate dissidents, ordered the troops to stand still, and watched the friendly troops being surrounded by slaves, which eventually led to the four-pronged army. They were defeated one by one by Jiannu, and the Ming army returned defeated in this battle.
In fact, judging from the military ratios of both sides and the quality of the generals in the entire Battle of Sarhu, the Ming army still had the upper hand. In particular, several of the commanders-in-chief of the Fourth Army were extraordinary. Among them, Liu Tie, the commander-in-chief of the South Route on the right, was known as Liu Dadao and was famous for his bravery in the three armies.
Du Song, the commander-in-chief of the left middle road, is also famous. He has experienced hundreds of battles and is extremely brave. When he was guarding Shaanxi, he fought against the barbarians in more than a hundred battles and was invincible. He was called "Master Du" by the foreigners outside the Great Wall. .
Ma Lin, the commander-in-chief of the North Road on the left, is the second son of the famous general Ma Fang. Although he is not as famous as Liu Qing and Du Song, he can still be regarded as a good general.
If the commander of these three armies, Yang Hao, had not commanded them blindly and leaked the information, which led to the march route being known to Jian Nu in advance, Lao Nu would eventually seize the opportunity to defeat each other. As long as two of the armies could join forces and respond to each other, or Yang Hao heard the news The last commander-in-chief Li Rubai was decisively sent to quickly reinforce, and if the Chinese army quickly advanced and moved closer, the outcome of the Battle of Saarhu would definitely not be what it is now.
In Zhu Shenzui's view, what coach Yang Hao did was simply incomprehensible. His operations on the battlefield were as good as those of Master Li Tianxia and Li, who sat back and watched the destruction of friendly forces without doing anything. In the end, he saw that the situation was not going well and rubbed his feet. The enemy ran away without even seeing his face.
If he were Wanli, Yang Hao would have been beheaded on the day he was escorted to the capital, and he wouldn't be able to forgive his hatred. Who would have thought that this old boy would still be alive today.
"How can someone protect him after such a huge defeat in Liaodong?" Zhu Shenzui was confused. It's crazy that he could survive such a crime.
Zhou Anmin gave a bitter smile, dipped his hand into some wine, and wrote two words on the case. After writing, he reached out and wiped the words away.
"You mean..." Seeing these two words, Zhu Shenzui was slightly startled and looked towards Zhou Anmin.
Zhou Anming nodded and said softly: "Although this person is from the Zhejiang Party, it is said that he has a close personal relationship with Zhao Heting. You also know who Zhao Heting wants to come, so even the emperor has some concerns about how to deal with Yang Hao."
Zhu Shenzui clenched his fists subconsciously, anger rising from the bottom of his heart.
He could clearly see that the two characters Zhou Anmin had just written while soaked in wine were the characters Donglin.
The Donglin Party takes it as its own duty to get rid of current abuses and rectify the political agenda, but judging from Yang Hao's incident, it is just that the party is fighting against dissent, and the defeat of Saarhu had a great impact. In this case, Yang Hao still saved his life, which is simply unreasonable.
"We brothers should talk about the affairs of the imperial court privately. Little people like you and I can't be the masters of the imperial court. Maybe the emperor has other plans." Seeing Zhu Shenzui's ugly face, Zhou Anmin comforted him a few words, and then He added: "But it's not like the emperor has done nothing. This is not because he just appointed Xiong Tingbi to manage Liaodong a few days ago. Xiong Tingbi is much better than Yang Hao. It is said that he did a good job after arriving in Liaodong. I think he will recover in a few years. With the strength of my Ming Dynasty, it is no problem to destroy Jiannu."
Xiong Tingbi was a capable minister and general, and had once patrolled Liaodong. He was indeed the most suitable person to succeed Yang Hao.
Moreover, according to Zhou Anmin, Xiong Tingbi recruited exiles after arriving in Liaodong, purified military orders, built chariots, repaired firearms, dug trenches and repaired the city, and established a strong garrison, which temporarily stabilized the situation in Liaodong.
In Zhou Anmin's view, although the Ming Dynasty was defeated in Liaodong, its national power was still there, and compared with the Jiannu in Liaodong, the Ming Dynasty still had huge advantages in all aspects.
Defeat is a common occurrence for military strategists, and a temporary defeat is nothing. As long as we stabilize our position and regroup, avenging Liaodong is not a problem.
Zhou Anmin's point of view is actually what most people think. After all, for the Ming Dynasty, mere post-finance is nothing, and the situation has gradually stabilized after Xiong Tingbi arrived in Liaodong. As long as they follow the steps, these slave-building slaves are not the opponent of the Ming Dynasty at all.
But compared to Zhou Anmin's optimism, Zhu Shenzui did not see it that way, because he knew very well how far the situation in Liaodong would deteriorate in the future. The rise of Hou Jin and the changing situation in Liaodong, coupled with natural and man-made disasters and rebellions, eventually became the last straw that broke the Ming Dynasty.
If Wanli can survive for a few more years, with Xiong Tingbi's ability and Liaodong's response, maybe the situation can be saved. Although Wanli, a otaku, had not been in court for decades, Wanli was a disciple of Zhang Juzheng after all. His control of the country and judgment of changes in the situation, coupled with his suppression and methods of ministers, etc., were simply not comparable to those of later generations.
During the Wanli Dynasty, the three major conquests were famous, and the highest decision-maker who decided on the three major conquests was the Wanli Emperor.
If Wanli was really a mediocre person, how could he have such great martial arts? This is also true. Replacing Yang Hao with Xiong Tingbi can be said to be the wisest decision made by Wanli after the Battle of Sarhu. This decision also effectively curbed the establishment of slaves in Liaodong, causing the two sides to temporarily form a confrontation in Liaodong. , and did not let the situation deteriorate further.
Xiong Tingbi is indeed a capable minister. During the year he spent in Liaodong, the situation gradually improved significantly. The advantages established by Jiannu in the Battle of Sarhu were eliminated by Xiong Tingbi one by one. Unfortunately, Wanli's life was about to come to an end. It was over. After Wanli's death, the subsequent successors coupled with the struggle between the DPRK and China, Xiong Tingbi, who had a flawed character, was impeached and resigned.
Xiong Tingbi left Liaodong, and the already stable situation deteriorated instantly. In just a few months, Jiannu broke through the defense line established by Xiong Tingbi. Seeing that the situation was not right, the court once again activated Xiong Tingbi. Xiong Tingbi was ordered to go to Liaodong again in the face of danger.
However, at the same time, the governor Wang Huazhen was asked to hold back Xiong Tingbi. The two had different opinions and many conflicts. In the end, Guangning was defeated because of Wang Huazhen. Xiong Tingbi was dismissed and imprisoned. Later, he was involved in party disputes. Tianqi was furious. It is really deplorable that a famous general of a generation ended up like this after killing Xiong Tingbi and passing him to Jiubian.
