"Tell me!"
Chongzhen chuckled and took a sip from the tea cup. Yuan Keli had an idea, which was basically feasible.
"Your Majesty, our ancestors have three major sources of support. One is Yuan Chonghuan, the Liaodong manager appointed by the imperial court.
Second, the ancestral generals and the ancestral army under their control,
The third one is the officials, merchants and gentry who are married to the ancestral family and control the huge wealth.
Now that Yuan Chonghuan has been transferred away, the Zu family wants to take advantage of it. If Yuan Chonghuan is smart, although he will not make a clean break, he will never exchange interests like before.
Without Yuan Chonghuan's cover, the generals of the ancestral family would be exposed to the court's sight. "
"The first way is to use the evidence that the Jin Yiwei is in control, directly mobilize the troops and kill all the generals of the ancestral family with lightning speed.
Now there are more than 100,000 people from Tengxiang Zuowei, Hubenwei, Fujunwei, and Ma Xianglin. Even if there is any trouble during the arrest process, they can quickly suppress it.
Without the protection of the ancestral family, those married officials, merchants and gentry could be liquidated at any time! "
"What about the cons?"
"Your Majesty, the ancestral family is different from Mao Wenlong. Zu Dashou's father, Zu Chengxun, was a general of Li Chengliang's family. The ancestral family has been developing for nearly a hundred years, and its forces are intertwined and spread throughout Liaodong.
There are at least 30,000 people in the Liaoxi Army who are servants and generals of the ancestral generals. Once these people resist, they must be killed, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
The number of officials, businessmen, gentry, and gentry families involved is at least 40,000 to 50,000, and at least 30% of these people will be killed directly.
If we dig deeper, maybe the families involved in these families may be related to Jiannu, and even more people will be implicated. this……"
Yuan Keli didn't finish what he said, but Chongzhen could understand the worry in it.
Although the generals of the ancestral family were corrupt and formed cliques for personal gain, it seems that at least they have made great efforts in the war against the slave establishment.
As soon as Liaodong was recaptured, there was a bloodbath in Liaodong. Thirty to forty thousand Liaodong soldiers were killed. Some of the Tengxiang Zuowei and others who participated in the battle also died. The coalition forces that surrounded and killed domestic slaves did not kill so many people.
"Yuan Aiqing, I will listen to the second option first and then make a decision!"
"Your Majesty, the second way is to cut the flesh with a blunt knife. Now the Liaodong capital is vacant. I thought I would transfer a trustworthy capital commander.
Then he dispersed the ancestral generals and the troops in their hands and mixed them with the imperial army.
Without military orders from the imperial court, if the generals of the ancestral family only mobilize their troops, it would be a rebellion and can be destroyed directly;
Secondly, the ancestral family cannot be touched now, but the officials, merchants and gentry who are married to them can make a move to cut off their source of money and both their arms first.
Third, after Liaodong is slightly stabilized, Li Banghua is asked to rectify the situation and try to clear up some of the unqualified ancestral generals. During this period, Jin Yiwei secretly conducts a thorough investigation of the ancestral generals;
Fourth, if you attack the Mongolian tribes or Korea, then send some of the ancestral generals to go. If you don't go, it will be a rebellion, and they will be killed directly. If you go, some of them will be killed.
If there is a rebellion in Fusang and Mongolia, then the ancestral family will be confiscated and exterminated directly! "
Listening to Yuan Keli's second approach, Chongzhen's eyes lit up. This was the same approach as when the Battle of Longjing Pass consumed the generals controlled by the nobles in the capital camp.
Now the entire Ming Dynasty is not the same as when he first came to the throne. It is surrounded by crises, surrounded by enemies, heavy troops need to be treated with strong medicine, and reconstruction is disrupted.
Nowadays, all wastes are being destroyed, and it is not suitable to go to war. Cutting the flesh with a blunt knife is the best choice to minimize the impact.
He immediately asked: "Does Yuan Aiqing have a candidate for the Liaodong Dusi Commander-in-Chief?"
"Zhao led the teachings to serve as the commander-in-chief, and He Kegang was appointed as the commander-in-chief. Then one person from the Forbidden Army was transferred to serve as the commander-in-chief.
Those martial arts scholars in the martial arts department taught by His Majesty have passed the examination, and some of them can be transferred to serve in the various guard posts in Liaodong to divide the western Liaoning army. "
"Okay, let's transfer Zhao Lianjiao to be the capital commander first. After returning to Beijing, Yuan Aiqing will discuss the transfer of Wu Jinshi with the cabinet, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of War!"
Chongzhen just agreed after listening.
His idea was also to let Zhao Lijiao serve as the capital of Liaodong. Because Zhao Lijiao was not from western Liaoning and had been squeezed out by the ancestral family in the western Liaoning army, it was appropriate to transfer him to suppress the ancestral family.
"Your Majesty, now that it's been decided, will the order be announced soon?"
"Then let's draw up the edict. By the way, I've also written the edicts for Yuan Chonghuan and Li Ting's cave sweeping, and they will be announced directly later! As for Zhao Lijiao, you can talk to him after the edict is announced."
"I obey the decree!"
The two of them also acted vigorously and resolutely, getting started directly.
After writing three or four imperial edicts in a row, the Fang family entered the lobby and whispered: "Your Majesty, the time is almost up. Please move to the city wall!"
"Let's go!"
Half a quarter of an hour later, Luan arrived at the foot of the city wall. At the same time, the drums of war drums sounded on the city wall. In several camps outside the city, military generals from more than a hundred households quickly gathered in front of the city wall.
After the sound of eighteen drums settled down, more than a thousand generals gathered together. Even though it had been a whole night, they could still clearly feel the strong evil aura from their armors!
Chongzhen appeared on the city wall, and all the generals immediately saluted in unison. The sun shone on the armor, and the cold light shone, and the momentum was astonishing.
Chongzhen first looked at the continuous tents in the distance, and then looked at the generals below. With a wave of his hand, the Fang family reached the top of the wall, followed by two Jinyi guards carrying trays.
On the tray were several volumes of imperial edicts.
The Fang family picked up one, slowly unfolded it, and said loudly: "The emperor is destined to be blessed by heaven, and the edict says: The establishment of slaves has troubled the Ming Dynasty for nearly fifty years... Now the main force has been destroyed, but the Ming Dynasty hates the family and has not avenged it.
Today, Sun Chuanting, the commander of the Forbidden Army, led the Liaoxi Army and his troops to sweep the holes in the Jiannu territory and wipe out the tribe and species;
Under the leadership of the North Korean capital commander Mao Wenlong, he led his sergeants in three groups to clear out the remaining enemies of the slave coalition forces built in the North Korean Administrative Department... This is it! "
As soon as the voice fell, the generals below were stunned.
The amount of information in this imperial edict was so great that North Korea actually became the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Dongjiang General Mao Wenlong became the capital commander of North Korea, and Sun Chuanting led the Liaoxi Army to sweep holes. Then where did Yuan Chonghuan go?
Youdao means to come to whatever you want. The Fang family continued: "Yuan Chonghuan accepted the order!"
"I accept the order!"
"Emperor Feng Tiancheng Yun issued an edict: Liaodong was occupied by slave-building thieves, and the people had families and could not return... The return to the Ming Dynasty is really a joy for the whole country.
The country is benevolent and the people are the leader. Yuan Chonghuan, who is responsible for the economic strategy of far western Liaoning, is transferred to the Liaodong Chengxuan Political Secretary Zuo Buzong to support the people, build bridges and roads, and reopen trade routes...I admire this! "
"I accept the order!"
Yuan Chonghuan immediately accepted the order loudly.
The generals were once again confused, even more confused than when Mao Wenlong was transferred to North Korea just now to serve as the capital commander.
Dongjiang General Soldier was transferred to the capital commander. After all, they were all military generals, and they were all second-grade officers. However, Yuan Chonghuan was a military general who became a civilian official, and he was demoted. What's going on?
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Pingliao Zhao led the army to accept the order!"
"I accept the order!"
Among the generals, Zhao Shujiao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he would have something to do with him at this moment. He didn't have time to think too much and left immediately.
As soon as he left duty, everyone among the generals in Liaoxi became jealous.
