He Kegang walked in angrily, but Yuan Li couldn't hold him back.
"What do you mean, Supervisor?" He Kegang said, slamming a document that had just come from the Ministry of War onto the table in front of Yuan Chonghuan.
Yuan Chonghuan did not seem to be angry at He Kegang's offending behavior. He glanced at He Kegang and picked up the documents from the Ministry of War.
I saw the document saying:
He was promoted to the first level of Yuan Chonghuan and was rewarded with forty taels of silver, a scarlet python robe, two pieces of silk silk, a son of Yin with brocade robes and guarding thousands of households, and he was given the imperial edict he deserved. (This son is speculated to be the son of Yuan Chonghuan's concubine in Ningyuan, who later joined the Xiangbai Banner and changed his surname to Manchu. He is the ancestor of Yuan Shoushan, the Heilongjiang general in the late Qing Dynasty.)
Guo Guang and Wang Ji were each promoted to one level and were rewarded with twelve taels of silver. (Of these two people, Guo Guang was the deputy military envoy. Yuan Chonghuan had delayed taking office in the capital. When Ningyuan rebelled, he scraped together money to quell the rebellion and rescued the governor Bi Zisu. Wang Ji was the head of the household department and was stationed in Ningyuan. Responsible for military pay)
The ancestor's longevity is increased by one level, and Yinyi's son, Benwei, is responsible for thousands of households. He is rewarded with thirty taels of silver and two pieces of silk, and he is given the royal decree as he deserves.
He Kegang was promoted to the Governor of the Department.
Liu Si was promoted to the Commander-in-Chief, Jin Guoqi and Zhang Hongmo were promoted to deputy commander-in-chief, and Sun Jiwu, Liu Yingxuan, Cao Gongcheng, Huang Long, Xie Shangzheng, Jia Desheng, and Wang Zijing were promoted to generals.
Liu Tianlu, Zu Kefa, Chen Wei, Han Daxun, Luo Jingrong, Meng Dao, Zu Dalue, Wang Weizheng, Sun Ningyuan, Pei Guozhen, Zhang Cunren, Zhao Fengming, and Yang Bangze were each promoted to guerrillas.
Zu Zerun, Zu Zehong, Sang Angerjie, Liu Yingguo, He Fengguo, and Wu Xiang were all promoted to the capital of the Qian Dynasty.
Each of the above will be rewarded twelve taels of silver.
Deng Changchun, Yang Rumei, Li Zhengying, Diao Erji, Na Benqi, Tabu Neng, Liu Yuying, Tong Shoudao, Zu Banglin, Jiang Shouli, Ha Hui, Zhao Lishi, Chaotu, Zu Kuangkan, Liu Liangchen, Hu Hongxian, Zu Keyong, Li Yun, Ding Xinxin, and Yu Nadai were each promoted to garrison.
Li Xun was awarded the title of General Qian,
Feng Jing, Zu Bangwu, and Li Shiyuan were each appointed commander-in-chief.
He Kegang said angrily: "When did the Supervisor submit this list of promotions? Why does no one know? It's not until today that His Majesty has approved it and the Ministry of War has reported it, that no one knows."
Yuan Chonghuan said angrily: "Why should I tell you that I know what we are doing in this department?"
He Kegang is a native of Ningyuan, Liaodong. Tomorrow was appointed as a garrison in the first year of Qi Dynasty. In the sixth year of Tianqi (1626), He Kegang fought meritoriously in the Ningyuan victory and was appointed the governor of Jin Dynasty.
The next year, Ning Jin won the battle and was promoted to general, deputy general Ningyuan. In the first year of Chongzhen (1628), Yuan Chonghuan returned and supervised Ning Yuan, still using him as deputy general to lead the Chinese army.
The official historical record of this person is extremely positive, and he is a heroic image. But upon closer inspection, there is a lot of mystery.
Veins popped up on He Kegang's forehead, and he said angrily: "Why don't you discuss such a big matter with the Chinese Army? Have you considered this list carefully?"
Yuan Chonghuan snorted coldly and said, "There is a problem."
He Kegang said: "Supervisor, please count the numbers on this promotion list. Zu Dashou, Zu Kefa, Zu Dalue, Zu Zerun, Zu Zehong, Zu Banglin, Zu Kengkan, Zu Keyong, Zu Bangwu, Zu Yao, Zu Shikui..., the Zu family alone has been promoted eighteen times!"
"Of the remaining people, twenty-seven are the children of local wealthy families in Liaodong. What is the governor trying to do? Give this corner of Liaodong to local powerful people." He Kegang said sadly.
Yuan Chonghuan suddenly promoted a large number of local generals in Liaodong. Many of these generals were not senior positions, but they were in specific positions.
With these people, things can be done. This kind of personnel arrangement is the essence of the Chinese art of power. In fact, high officials are not as effective as those who do specific things.
Obviously, He Kegang also discovered a problem.
"But Gang, now the only corner of Liaodong left is the Liaoxi Corridor. If we don't unite the powerful people in western Liaoning, this area cannot be defended. We can't let the horses run and not eat grass at the same time, right? . I also accidentally thought that it was necessary to improve their status and strengthen their determination to fight the imperial court to the end and regain Liaodong. Just in time, you went to patrol the sea. I didn’t tell you. Now His Majesty has agreed, and the matter is over. At this point, that’s all it can do.”
He Kegang took a deep look at Yuan Chonghuan and said: "Supervisor, the cabinet does not know the origins and backgrounds of these people. They are too far away from Liaodong. But the Guanning Army is an army of the imperial court, not an army of local clans. Prime Minister Qian is right The Superintendent has high hopes, and I hope that the Superintendent will think more about everything in the future and ask the Prime Minister for instructions more often. Today, Ke Gang was in a hurry and made a mistake. Please forgive me, Superintendent."
Yuan Chonghuan said nothing and kept a straight face.
He Kegang looked at Yuan Chonghuan and retreated.
He didn't quite understand why Yuan Chonghuan did this. However, he clearly knew that this would greatly increase the voice of the local forces in Liaodong in the Guan Ning Army.
But now that the matter was over, He Kegang could only convey the situation to Beijing immediately. Soon Qian Longxi received He Kegang's report.
Qian Longxi frowned, and then he gave Yuan Chonghuan an order to find a way to deal with Mao Wenlong as soon as possible. Yuan Chonghuan came suddenly. He bypassed the Ministry of War and submitted a letter directly to the emperor. The emperor approved it and then transferred it to the Ministry of War. The Cabinet only found out about this.
However, the done deal is already over and it is too late to take further measures.
It seems that he and Li Biao miscalculated Yuan Chonghuan's attitude towards getting rid of Mao Wenlong. In the past, he always threatened to deal with Mao Wenlong, but when he got serious about it, he made strange arrangements. I don’t know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd.
The cabinet has reached a consensus that the negative impact of Mao Wenlong's existence is getting bigger and bigger, and has already exceeded the positive impact. He mingled between Korea and the slaves. As a result, the neutral faction in North Korea has become more and more powerful. The main militant faction was suppressed. This is what Daming does not want to see.
Anyone with a discerning eye has noticed that Mao Wenlong is stirring up the situation in North Korea and seems to have an ulterior motive. His tendency to establish himself as a local warlord became more and more obvious. The ambitions towards North Korea are also gradually revealed.
Qian Longxi rubbed his temples with a headache. Yuan Manzi's actions often make people confused and confused. No one knew what he was thinking. His brain circuit is really strange.
The localization of Guan Ningjun is such a big matter. Why don't you discuss it with the senior officials in Donglin and decide on your own? What does he mean?
Do you plan to win over Liaodong generals and establish your own business in Liaodong? How is this possible? It's simply ridiculous.
Qian Longxi felt that Mao Wenlong's matter could not be delayed any longer. Yuan Chonghuan always used the excuse that the emperor would not agree, and kept arguing with Qian Longxi. It can be seen that he is very unwilling to deal with Mao Wenlong.
Yuan Chonghuan is implying that if Mao Wenlong is to be dealt with, procedures need to be followed.
Mao Wenlong is a first-class official. The right way is to impeach the censor, then mobilize the courtiers to attack him, and have his majesty order his arrest and imprisonment.
If abnormal methods are used to dispose of Mao Wenlong, I am afraid that the tail will be left behind and the treatment will not be clean. It will be very dangerous to be held accountable in the future.
Qian Longxi thought for a long time, and he felt that Yuan Chonghuan was beginning to be difficult to control. It seems that it needs to be forced.
