"Mr. Sun, my brother is the head guard of the Emperor. He went to the battlefield with the Emperor and saw with his own eyes the Emperor and Mongolia's first warrior Guiyingcha for thirty-six rounds. A silver spear danced up and down. He flew up and down, blocking the Mongolian warrior from the left and right, unable to parry. Finally, Long Live Lord used a move from the dragon to cross the river, knocking him off his horse... Today's emperor really has the courage that no man can deserve. ah!"
The one who was eloquently describing the emperor's courage to Sun Chengzong, Qian Qianyi, and Shen Tingyang was Ningyuan Hou Li Zunzu. This man is also a talented storyteller. Although he has never seen Zhu Youjian kill anyone with his own eyes, he speaks vividly and vividly with his clever mouth, making the listener feel like he is personally there. Sun Chengzong, who only had a little military experience, frowned when he heard this. How could this emperor kill and challenge others alone? Fortunately, we won. If we lost, would the Ming Dynasty still have internal strife?
"Why didn't the emperor return to the army in triumph that day?" Sun Chengzong glanced at Li Zunzu, "Uncle Ning Yuan, don't try to prevaricate me by saying that the emperor wants to go straight to the Tumote River!"
Li Zunzu was told by Sun Chengzong that he just sighed softly and said with a wry smile: "What does the emperor want to do? Mr. Sun really doesn't understand? The emperor is currently ordering troops in Qingtian, Datong Town... plus the salt from before Isn’t it obvious what the emperor wants to do regarding the reform of civil affairs?”
Could Sun Chengzong not understand? He is the teacher of Emperor Apocalypse. At that time, Emperor Apocalypse also had similar thoughts to Emperor Chongzhen today, but his methods were much different - these two brothers both regarded the Gonggun princes in the court as national traitors and enemies, and wanted to Big overhaul. However, Emperor Tianqi had little ability to do things, could not fight, did not know how to manage finances, was not good at strategizing, and was not good at employing people, so he brought out Wei Zhongxian, who only knew how to mess around.
After working for a long time, none of the real greedy rats were caught. Instead, they folded themselves in and died at a young age...
But the current Long Live Lord is much more powerful. He quietly managed to recruit more than ten thousand servants of the emperor, and took advantage of the opportunity of Hutu Dunhan to join the invaders to launch a personal conquest. He even fought a battle of defeating more with less. great victory. With the power of this victory, although it was not enough to control the city of Beijing, Datong was firmly under Zhu Youjian's control.
Datong's 130,000 soldiers were as afraid of the Tartars as tigers, but the young emperor defeated the enemy with ten thousand cavalry and killed the tiger and rabbit Dun Khan with such majesty that he was able to look down on Datong's eight guards and sixty-four fortresses.
Therefore, the emperor can organize his army in Qingtian, Datong, and no one dares to oppose him in Datong!
After the military garrison and town troops in Datong Town are sorted out, there will be no 130,000-strong army. There must be 45,000 capable soldiers. Including the emperor's cavalry in front of the tent, there will be a total of 50,000. Sixty thousand "soldiers of the emperor" can not only protect the emperor, but also deter national traitors and enemies in Beijing.
No matter how powerful the national traitors and the enemy are in Beijing, it is impossible for them to reach out to Datong Town, which is firmly controlled by the emperor's soldiers. Moreover, there is no way that these national traitors and the enemy's forces can really be brought to the battlefield... If there was such power, Emperor Apocalypse would not hesitate and directly sent Zhang Weixian to lead the Beijing troops to kill Nurhachi. Wouldn't it be over?
Therefore, once the emperor leaves Beijing and goes to Datong, which is beyond the reach of nobles and nobles, he can take the initiative and does not have to worry about falling into the water while rowing, getting food poisoning, or losing his life to quack doctors.
...
"Shouzhi, Ji Ming, please go to Datong!"
After seeing off Li Zunzu, Sun Chengzong said to Qian Qianyi who came to Beijing to work as an official and Shen Tingyang, who wanted to seize the water transport job, "The emperor will not return to Beijing for the time being. Even if he enters Shuntian Mansion, he will not return to Beijing." Entering Beijing... there must be no shortage of warriors around him, but there are not many civil servants who can be used, and even fewer who know how to manage money. If you go, you will definitely be reused."
Qian Qianyi was a Jinshi in the thirty-eighth year of Wanli. He had been an official for eighteen years and was forty-six years old. Moreover, he won the third prize in the year. He became an official at the Imperial Academy and was an editor at the Hanlin Academy. His starting point was very high. However, his subsequent official career was very unsatisfactory. Because he had the false reputation of being the leader of Donglin, he became a thorn in Wei Zhongxian's side. Therefore, the officialdom had been ups and downs for many years. He did not get a good job, but he was dismissed twice. Now I almost "know my destiny" before my eyes, but I am still living idle. Fortunately, my ancestors had good deeds, my family was a big landowner, and I was a registered official, so I didn't have to pay taxes. Otherwise, we would have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation!
But is Qian Qianyi a person who just eats and waits to die? This time he brought Shen Tingyang, a wealthy man from the south of the Yangtze River, to Beijing together... With Shen Tingyang's sponsorship and the support of Sun Chengzong, the leader of Donglin, there should be no problem in revolt.
But after arriving in Beijing, Qian Qianyi discovered that something strange had happened to him... The emperor had gone out of Beijing to find the first warrior of Mongolia in a duel!
The emperor was not at home, and the cabinet and the ceremonial supervisors in Beijing were under guard, so no one could restore Qian Qianyi - a figure like Qian Qianyi would be restored to the rank of minister, and it was impossible to be a county magistrate. Just let it go.
So this matter must be decided by the emperor! Now that the emperor is away, even if Shen Tingyang is willing to spend money to buy an official position for Qian Qianyi, there is no place to give it...
Qian Qianyi was twirling his beard, with a serious expression on his dark face. He looked like a black man, "Mr. Sun, the emperor seems to be extremely dissatisfied with the nobles in the capital! And the eunuch made a false report when he returned to the king. When I heard the news, I colluded with the nobles to establish the King of Fortune... You might as well write a memorial and have your subordinates take it to Datong and give it to the Holy One."
Sun Chengzong frowned and seemed to hesitate. He knew that if he handed over this memorial, he would be in trouble with the dignitaries of Beijing.
He is not afraid of eunuchs, but nobles and nobles...each of them has a big tree and deep roots!
Qian Qianyi saw that Sun Chengzong was hesitant and said in a low voice: "Mr. Sun, after we took over the offer from Yanyun Yamen, we faced off against those great men of the country. No matter how hard we endure, they will never be satisfied.
Unless we use the original two million to support the Liao army... But can Liao Town agree? They used to have a salary of more than 4 million yuan (deducting the share of Tianjin and Dongjiang, it is almost more than 4 million yuan), but if it is reduced by half, they will not have a falling out? If the commotion is really so great that Yuan Yuan Yuan can no longer suppress it, the eunuchs in the capital will definitely use the issue to deal with us!
Mr. Sun, the matter of party struggle is actually about using force to fight... The Lord's intention is clear, and there is also power to borrow. As long as we connect the eunuchs with the nobles, we are not afraid that we will not be able to defeat them! "
Sun Chengzong frowned and remained silent, as if he was still weighing the matter.
Qian Qianyi added: "There is also the death of the late emperor, which can also be used to make a fuss... We Donglin gentlemen were not in court at that time, so this matter has nothing to do with us. But the eunuchs and the nobles in Beijing , but it’s hard to escape the blame!”
"How do you say this?" Sun Chengzong asked.
Qian Qianyi said: "The nobles in the capital hated the late emperor for wanting to rectify the capital camp and the royal guards, while the eunuchs wanted to establish King Fu..."
"And Prince Fu is involved? This is trapping the feudal clan!"
Qian Qianyi said with a smile: "Why is it a trap? Someone is really planning to establish King Fu this time! Can he get away with it? When the empress arrives in Datong, won't she cry to the emperor? What will the emperor think? General Xian, the head of the cabinet Fu, this is it!"
This Qian Qianyi must have been suppressed for a long time, his mind is filled with such struggle, and he doesn’t even look at what time it is now!
Huang Taiji is about to call!
Of course, Sun Chengzong and Qian Qianyi did not know that Huang Taiji was coming to the Great Wall at Ji Town at this time... In fact, even the Eight Banners soldiers who sent troops with Huang Taiji and the Karaqin Mongolian and Inner Mongolian troops who were preparing to join forces with Huang Taiji The leaders of the Khalkha Mongolia and Horqin Mongolia didn't know that Tiancong Khan was ready to test the power of Beijing City. They only knew that Tiancong Khan was preparing to gather the Mongolian tribes on the banks of the Daling River and accept the surrender of the Mongolian left-wing tribes.
Even the prophet Zhu Youjian didn't know that the change had been advanced and turned into the Wuchen Change!
