After all the civil and military officials left the main hall of the Governor's Mansion one after another, Liang Fuchen still looked pleasant and asked: "Master Zhao, what are your different ideas that you must discuss with me in private?"
Zhao Junchen looked seriously and asked: "Mr. Liang Ge, as the dust of the decisive battle on the Weishui River has settled, the 100,000 cavalry of the Mongolian coalition have been wiped out. They are all the most elite cavalry of the Mongols! In addition, the Mongolian grassland In the past few years, there have been constant natural disasters. The disasters are even more serious than those in Shaanxi and Gansu. The tribes in Mongolia have long been devastated and have no successors. They are also full of conflicts and constant internal friction... Don't you think that now is the time? Is this a great opportunity for us to expand our results and pursue victory?"
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Liang Fuchen's gray eyebrows suddenly raised slightly, his expression also became serious, and he asked slowly: "What does Mr. Zhao mean by expanding the results of the battle and pursuing the victory?"
Since Liang Fuchen met Zhao Junchen, he has always had a pleasant, friendly and easy-going image, which made Zhao Junchen quite uncomfortable. However, after Liang Fuchen heard Zhao Junchen's proposal, he finally returned to his usual majestic and solemn appearance. .
Zhao Junchen replied word for word: "What this junior means is that the imperial court should take the opportunity to send troops to regain the Hetao area! Reset the three guards of Daning, Kaiping and Dongsheng! Let the northwest defense line of the imperial court advance deep into the grassland in one fell swoop place, completely solving the hidden dangers of invading invaders that have been sifted by fire on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu for many years! Once this goal is achieved, the various places in Shaanxi and Gansu will become the rear area of the northwest defense line, and the Mongols will no longer be able to drive straight in and plunder southward at will. ! The tens of millions of people in the northwest territory of the imperial court and within the territory will have no worries from now on!"
Although he had a vague guess in his heart, Liang Fuchen couldn't help but trembled after hearing Zhao Junchen's answer!
He had no idea that Zhao Junchen's ambition was so great!
Liang Fuchen was seen frowning tightly and his eyes were flashing. He was obviously thinking hard about Zhao Junchen's proposal.
After a long time, Liang Fuchen said softly: "This is not a trivial matter! Today's Mongolian tribes are indeed in decline, but with the strength of Shaanxi and Gansu alone, even the Ordos tribe that can barely defeat the Hetao area is very difficult to defeat. It is difficult to hold on to the results of the war for a long time. After the war, border relocation, garrison, settlement and other matters are not trivial matters. They all require long-term management... Therefore, this matter must not only rely on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu, but must obtain the approval of the court. Support and recognition!”
Hearing what Liang Fuchen said, Zhao Junchen suddenly felt relieved.
Such a statement means that Liang Fuchen is already moved, and now he is just worried about the court's attitude.
Liang Fuchen was also a man with long-term vision and ambition, so he naturally could not resist the temptation to regain the Hetao. If this matter could be accomplished in Liang Fuchen's hands, he would surely be among the famous officials of the Ming Dynasty and be favored by history books. To praise greatly and enjoy the gratitude of future generations - this is the ultimate ambition of Liang Fuchen as a minister.
Therefore, Zhao Junchen quickly explained: "Actually, before the decisive battle on the Weishui River began, the junior had already had such an idea, and also submitted a memorial to the court explaining the necessity of this matter in detail. According to the junior's guess, The court should have made a decision now."
Liang Fuchen asked: "Do you think the imperial court will definitely support the proposal to regain the Hetao?"
Zhao Junchen smiled and said: "Mr. Liang Ge, you are a close minister of His Majesty. Don't you understand what our Majesty is thinking? He is also an ambitious emperor. Once the recapture of the Hetao can be successful, His Majesty's His prestige will also be greatly increased, and he will become one of the wise kings and heroes in history! Therefore, His Majesty will definitely strongly agree with this matter, and under the current situation in the temple, the elders will not easily resist His Majesty's attitude. , so the imperial court will definitely agree and support this matter!"
Liang Fuchen naturally also understood Emperor Deqing's great achievements and the current complicated situation in the temple center, but he nodded in agreement and said: "If this is the case, now is indeed a great opportunity, and this can be done!"
After saying that, Liang Fuchen stared at Zhao Junchen with his eyes and asked: "Master Zhao has pushed hard for this matter and has been planning it for a long time. He must have made a comprehensive plan and made full preparations? Can you tell me something?"
"Mr. Liang Ge, you are the full-power imperial envoy responsible for all military and political affairs in Shaanxi and Gansu. Naturally, I dare not hide it from you! After thinking about it over and over again these days, I do have some immature ideas in my mind. If there is anything inappropriate, I hope Mr. Liang Ge will not hesitate to correct me!"
After a few polite words, Zhao Junchen told Liang Fuchen in detail all the plans and preparations he had painstakingly planned these days.
Liang Fuchen is now the person in charge of the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu. Zhao Junchen's plans are naturally inseparable from his support. Many things also require the joint endorsement of Liang Fuchen and Zhao Junchen, so Zhao Junchen did not have anything to say when he complained. hide.
After listening to Zhao Junchen's plan and ideas, Liang Fuchen was silent for a long time, seeming to be thinking about the feasibility of Zhao Junchen's plan.
After a full stick of incense, Liang Fuchen finally spoke again.
Liang Fuchen's expression was full of admiration and he said: "Sir Zhao's plan is so well thought out and interlocking! If everything goes according to this plan, recovering the Loop will be simpler than imagined. A lot! Master Zhao’s plan is already very mature, and I can’t find any fault with it. Once the court expresses its clear attitude and is willing to send troops to retake the Hetao, it can completely follow Master Zhao’s plan!”
After speaking, Liang Fuchen looked at Zhao Junchen's face with complicated eyes, and then said: "Master Zhao must have spent countless efforts to come up with such a plan. He is really far-sighted, enterprising, and has good intentions!"
Hearing Liang Fuchen's praise, Zhao Junchen smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "This junior is forced to come up with such a plan! Mr. Liang Ge, you also know the current predicament of the imperial treasury. The grain reserves have long been exhausted. , if there is another disaster in the future, the imperial court will be completely unable to provide food and grass to help the victims, and big things will inevitably happen by then. As the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, this junior will not be able to escape the blame...
Today, the younger generations have already tried their best to save food and grass, and the Hetao area has an excellent environment surrounded by the Yellow River on three sides, with abundant water and grass, warm in winter and cool in summer. It is not only suitable for animal husbandry, but also Farming on good soil can alleviate the court's food shortage problem to a great extent, so it is naturally targeted by the younger generation!
What's more, the strategic location of the Hetao area is also extremely important. It is a strategic location that all dynasties in the Central Plains have fought for. Once the imperial court regains the Hetao area, the Mongolian tribes will not be able to plunder the people of Shaanxi and Gansu at will, and the people of Shaanxi and Gansu can also Staying behind to cultivate food with peace of mind can also alleviate the court's food shortage dilemma...
All in all, the juniors don’t have any long-term vision, everything is forced by food! "
After saying that, Zhao Junchen shook his head and sighed again and again.
After hearing Zhao Junchen's half-truth and half-false explanation, Liang Fuchen was even more impressed and said: "No matter what, once the recovery of the Hetao is completed, it will be a great contribution to the future, and Mr. Zhao will also take the greatest credit." !”
Next, Zhao Junchen and Liang Fuchen discussed some details in detail, and reached consensus on many issues. Many ideas and judgments were also completely consistent. They were also willing to work together on some aspects of the plan that were against the court rules. Commitment, for a while it actually seemed like we were like-minded.
Liang Fuchen is also a man with clever means and long-term vision. His experience is much better than that of Zhao Junchen. After some discussions between the two, the plan to regain the Loop became more and more perfect.
By the time the discussion between the two came to an end, it was already midnight.
Both Zhao Junchen and Liang Fuchen were in poor physical condition, and they were both deeply tired at this time, so Zhao Junchen took the initiative to say goodbye and left.
Liang Fuchen did not persuade Zhao Junchen to stay, but invited Zhao Junchen to continue the discussion tomorrow, and Zhao Junchen readily agreed.
*
But he said that after Zhao Junchen left the main hall of the Governor's Mansion, he walked towards his room.
As he walked, Zhao Junchen's expression was full of thoughts.
When Zhao Junchen walked to the door of his room, he seemed to have figured out something, and said softly: "That's it!"
Ever since Zhao Junchen met Liang Fuchen, he always felt that there was something wrong with Liang Fuchen, but Zhao Junchen could not figure out what was wrong.
Now, after Zhao Junchen said goodbye to Liang Fuchen, he finally had the opportunity to think quietly alone, and finally found something strange about Liang Fuchen!
After Zhao Junchen met Liang Fuchen for the first time, the most profound thing that impressed him was that Liang Fuchen never called himself "I" or "this pavilion", but simply called himself "I". Compared with The styles of the other pavilion elders in the temple can be described as completely different!
If he calls himself "I", he is implicitly trying to show off his qualifications. If he calls himself "this pavilion", he is secretly using his status to suppress others. However, Liang Fuchen simply calls himself "I", neither showing off his qualifications nor showing off his qualifications. Not using power to overwhelm others shows Liang Fuchen's confidence in his own abilities and his pragmatic style.
But now after seeing Liang Fuchen again, Liang Fuchen's self-identification has been quietly changed to "old man".
Such changes can be described as profound.
"That is to say, after Liang Fuchen experienced the kidnapping by horse bandits and saw that I am now in the spotlight, has he lost the confidence to rely on his own ability to suppress me? This is also true. Under the current situation , he only has his own qualifications that can beat me in Shaanxi and Gansu... This means that if I take a tough stance in the future, he will choose to make temporary concessions on many things... Therefore, many methods can be used Got it!"
*
And just as Zhao Junchen was thinking about Liang Fuchen's changes, Liang Fuchen was also thinking about his conversation with Zhao Junchen.
After pondering for a long time, Liang Fuchen slowly murmured to himself: "Zhao Junchen's character and methods have become more and more sophisticated! Just looking at his actions, he can be called the pillar of the dynasty, especially his The determination to forge ahead not only means daring to lure the enemy deep and completely annihilate the Mongolian coalition forces, but now he also wants to recover the Hetao... I am far behind with such courage!... I am not as good as this guy!"
Liang Fuchen is a pragmatic person. Although he doubts that Zhao Junchen is the mastermind behind using horse bandits to kidnap him, he still can't help but admire Zhao Junchen when he thinks about Zhao Junchen's various achievements!
On the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu, hundreds of years of fighting against invaders have already made everyone think inertia. They believe that the Mongols are wolves and the Han people are sheep. The Mongols are the ones who take the initiative to attack, while the Han people are passively beaten On one side, Zhao Junchen was extremely courageous. Not only did he annihilate 100,000 Mongolian cavalry in one fell swoop, he also wanted to counterattack!
Although Liang Fuchen made some achievements during his tenure as the governor of the three sides, he was far inferior to Zhao Junchen.
Even Liang Fuchen had to admit this.
If Zhao Junchen was still here, he would find that Liang Fuchen still calls himself "I" when he is alone, which means that Liang Fuchen still maintains sufficient confidence in his abilities.
After sighing softly, Liang Fuchen's expression suddenly became extremely serious, and he said coldly: "However, if this son is not eliminated, he will become a big trouble in the future!"
When speaking, Liang Fuchen's tone was serious and full of hostility.
Such a hostile attitude has nothing to do with Liang Fuchen's suspicion that Zhao Junchen used horse bandits to kidnap him. It all stems from Liang Fuchen's loyalty to Emperor Deqing!
Emperor Deqing regarded Zhao Junchen as a chamber pot and a fat pig. With Zhao Junchen's wisdom and vision, he could naturally see clearly!
At the same time, the enterprising spirit Zhao Junchen has shown during this period also shows that he is by no means a person who is waiting to die!
Therefore, Liang Fuchen believed that Zhao Junchen would definitely resist Emperor Deqing in the future!
Moreover, once Zhao Junchen takes action to resist, the situation will be earth-shaking!
After understanding this, Liang Fuchen only felt that Zhao Junchen was a major danger to the court in the future. Regardless of whether Liang Fuchen's kidnapping by horse bandits was related to Zhao Junchen, Liang Fuchen believed that he must take action!
