Ning Tong is a miserable person
Zhang Zhou felt that this was probably a joke. It would be understandable if Ning Tong had a bad marriage, but with Ning Tong’s temperament, who would be with her? It's okay to be miserable.
Because Ning Tong is really a master of UA. She can make an ex-husband who is not interested in women feel full of guilt and all kinds of self-blame and compensation. I asked who can compare with this method
"It's okay. Your ex-wife rented a shop in the city, and the master and servant ran some of her daughter's Rouge Hangzhou fans there. They made the woman's business known to everyone, and she was also a good person. Talented person." Zhang Zhou sighed.
In the capital, it is actually very difficult for women to do business.
Although women these days are not said to be stuck in the front door, most of them are hiding in the boudoir. Even if women love beauty, they cannot tap into their potential for consumption. .
The land south of the Yangtze River is relatively open, and maybe even better. At the feet of the emperor in the capital are all high-ranking officials, and everyone imitates the three obediences and four virtues that the destined woman must do. Women like Ning Tong can still do business. If it's decent, then it's really rare.
Zhu Feng said, "She is doing business."
"Yes." Zhang Zhou said, "I didn't pay attention either. You can go and see if you want. Don't drag me along."
Zhu Feng said with a slight shame, "For me, she still went out to show her face. She shouldn't have been like this."
Zhang Zhou pushed the teapot in front of Zhu Feng, probably saying, do you want to go first? Have a cup of tea and calm yourself down
Are you out of your mind or something? The person who pulled her out to do business in the first place seems to be your ex-husband
"Pick up your mood and go Mian Sheng, I will not accompany you. After returning to the capital, I will be more responsible for the affairs of the Yanwu Hall. The main focus of the students of the second phase of the Yanwu Hall is no longer artillery, but firecrackers. There are two shifts every three days. Come back if you need anything. I've arranged the class schedule for you, Zhu Laoer"
"Oh."
Zhu Feng looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, as if he was afraid of it. He said that he was dawdling wherever he was.
Liaodong.
Lu Wan and Wang Xian's troops have already retreated beyond the boundaries of Tongliao in later generations. They still have to go more than 400 miles to the Ming Dynasty's Acropolis in Shenyang.
The mobile combat force is mainly in charge of Wang Xian and Peng Quan. The escort of prisoners and the transportation of artillery are mainly in charge of Lu Wan's Liaodong Town soldiers and horses. The light artillery is in the position where the team is behind. Once there are Tatars, When the pursuers approach, mobile artillery units are needed to rush forward to harass and block them.
This is the fourth day of their retreat.
The road remains difficult.
That night, Wang Xian and Ma Yongcheng went to Lu Wan specifically to discuss the matter.
Seeing that Lu Wan seemed to have a written memorial in hand, Ma Yongcheng couldn't help but ask, "Lu Zhongcheng, are there any sentries sent out in advance to report victory?"
Lu Wan said, "We haven't withdrawn yet. Dangerous place, if you win now, if you encounter a Tatar ambush later orIf we pursue them and start a battle again, the outcome will be unpredictable, and I am afraid that there will be a situation where extreme joy will lead to tragedy. Besides, it’s not too late to have a good meal, so why can’t we wait until we enter the ground at the border before we start our victory?"
"Haha, you really are not in a hurry. "Ma Yongcheng couldn't help but look at Wang Xian who was standing aside.
Wang Xian looked very serious. Since Lu Wan didn't call Zhang Yong and Zhang Heling over, he seemed to sense that Lu Wan had some ulterior purpose.< /p>
Wang Xiandao: "The war is over. If we delay in achieving victory, I'm afraid there will be criticism in the court.
Lu Wan shook his head, "That's not right. This battle was planned by Zhang Shilang of the Ministry of War, and you and I are just the ones who executed it. No matter what our merits or demerits, the primary credit must be recorded in You should know this better than me about Shilang Zhang. Even if the battle report arrives a few days late, Your Majesty will not rush it. If there is no result, how can the people in the court still criticize it casually?"
"But"
Wang Xian cannot let Lu Wanwan So.
Because Wang Xian knew that once the soldiers and horses entered the territory of Shenyang and reached Liaodong, it would be the governor Lu Wan who had the final say. When the time came to discuss the merits of both parties, Lu Wan would definitely suppress it. The achievements of the Jizhou people and horses can only be discussed before entering the Liaodong territory.
"Wei Gang, you are from Shandong. When you arrive at the Liaodong capital, It's like returning to your own realm. "Lu Wan said, informing him of the battle report he had just received, "Although we have not found a large group of Tatar cavalry on the way back now, there are an unknown number of cavalry attacking one after another in the north and west. We are still in danger. Be more self-respecting. To avoid any disputes, after passing Maoshan, it is up to you whether you want to go south or to Shenyang. ”
The general meaning.
If you want to go together, then go together. If you don’t want to go together and want to go your own way, no one will stop you.
Wang Xian said with a straight face, "Although I am from Shandong, I do not belong to the Liaodong capital. How I use the army does not depend on where I am from. That's it."
The boundaries of Shandong in the Ming Dynasty include Liaodong, but Liaodong is mainly a military area, and it is just under the Shandong Chief Envoy. It is like Lu Wan, the governor of Liaodong Town, has no control over it. The affairs of the various states in the Shandong Peninsula were the same.
Wang Xian knew that the discussion on military achievements could not produce any results, so he took Ma Yongcheng away angrily.
Wang Xian and Ma Yongcheng returned to the camp. p>
After Ma Yongcheng made sure that no one was watching, he said, "Why should we retaliate with him? How can we retaliate ourselves? As he said, when we walk out of the grassland, an unfamiliar place, we will divide our troops and go south, and we will go back." What would it be like if we didn’t go to the Ming Dynasty?”
“Eunuch Ma, do you think the court will accept the credit we have given ourselves?”
Wang Xian’s words surprised Ma Yongcheng.
p>
"There are still heads that are not accepted, but they are all on our side."
Wang Xian sighed, "But the problem is that this dispatch of troops is nominally for Liaodong Town troops to enter the grassland." , because of the situation, we cannotIf we don't return to Jizhou from Liaodong, even if we take the road of Yizhou, Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, this road will be the boundary of Liaodong. Our troops will inevitably have to deal with Liaodong soldiers when they go south. "
"This"
Ma Yongcheng has no experience in leading troops, and he is not knowledgeable. He doesn't know so many twists and turns.
Wang Xiandao "And I'm afraid that the minister Zhang in the court hopes that the people from Liaodong will get the credit. "
"Why is this?" Ma Yongcheng still puzzled.
Wang Xian said with emotion, "I am not the governor of Jizhou, and I am not even an official in the border town, but Liaodong Now under the control of Zhang Shilang, the reason why Lu Zhongcheng dared not to announce the victory so late was because he was sure that Zhang Shilang would be on his side and take credit for the soldiers of Liaodong, because considering the overall situation, it was necessary to stabilize the morale of the Liaodong army. It is more important than stabilizing the thousands of us troops. "
Ma Yongcheng thought for a while and said, "That's right. Liaodong has been struggling for so long. Nearly 40,000 troops have been dispatched from different fortresses, and so much food, grass and baggage have been mobilized. If the limelight of this battle is completely overshadowed by us. , then they will not go to Liaodong again," Wang Xiandao said, "unless we pass through Daning. ”
“This”
Of course Ma Yongcheng doesn’t want to do this.
For the military merit of the soldiers, it is necessary to abandon the safe path and take the dangerous path. Ma Yongcheng For a eunuch who was going to the battlefield for the first time, he didn't have that much courage.
Wang Xian sighed, "But I'm afraid, even if we return to the army, we won't be hijacked by people from all walks of life in Liaodong, and the customs clearance will be smoother. , but the result will still be suppressed by the court. But are you willing to give up the first victory to those people in Liaodong? If we take those heads away, I'm afraid there will be disputes."
After thinking about it, Ma Yongcheng shook his head and said, "We won't do it for those Tatars. With my son's head in mind, if we cause a military uprising, then our sin will be huge. "
Wang Xian said angrily, "But what can we do now? You and I have to look at the faces of those generals in Liaodong. If we can't win military honors for our generals, what's the point of doing this general?"< /p>
Ma Yongcheng advised, "A good man will not suffer any immediate losses. As long as he can return to the ground of Jizhou or return to the capital, even if he files a complaint, he cannot cause discord at this time." Mr. Wang, you must hold back. After you go back, you will probably be promoted to Governor Zhongcheng. You have a bright future, but don’t be caught out at this time."
"Alas"
Wang Xian can only Sighing heavily.
On November 18, the situation in the grassland still had not been reported to the capital.
There were even more voices of criticism from the government and the public. There was still no court meeting early that morning. After Li Dongyang left the palace gate, he was stopped by Tu Jing, the Minister of Civil Affairs.
"Bin Zhi, there has been a discussion in all the yamen of the capital. Let's take a step to speak. ”
Li Dongyang waved his hand and asked his sedan bearer to leave first.
And he got on Tu Tong’s carriage.
The movement of the carriage is tantamount to saying that the carriage is moving. Tu YuyiThe carriage took Li Dongyang back home.
Tu Yan asked eagerly, "Is there no news at all? If this continues, Liaodong may be invaded by the Tatars next. Jizhou reported that it is snowing everywhere outside Beiguan. I heard that There are no people in places with thick snow. I am afraid that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will never return." Li Dongyang looked calm and said, "The troops in Liaodong and Jizhou did not leave after the snow. They should be able to count those heading north and west."
"Haha." Tu Jian smiled bitterly, "Do you still want to say that the battle report was delayed and not sent back to the capital because of the snow on the road. "
Li Dongyang said, "If this battle occurs in spring, summer and autumn, the battle report will pass through Daning and go directly south. The road will naturally be closer and relatively flat. It will be difficult to reach it before the pass at most. Okay. But if there is snow everywhere in the grassland, it is not surprising that the soldiers and cavalry conveying the battle report will be delayed all the way to Liaodong."
"But it has been ten days now. There's no news inside, don't you think something might have happened?" Tu Yu asked.
Li Dongyang opened the transom of the carriage, pointed at the people on the street outside, and asked, "Do you see how we are different from them?"
Tu Yu was not in as good a mood as Li Dongyang , said, "I don't know what you mean."
Li Dongyang said, "You, like ordinary people, are ignorant of things on the battlefield. Before the exact results of the battle are reported, you can make any criticism. Your Majesty will think you have ulterior motives."
"Ignore the soldiers who set off on the grassland," Tu Fu asked.
Li Dongyang said with a comfortable expression, "Don't say ten days, so what if it's a hundred days? The criticism in the court is not on you and me, but on Zhang Bingkuan. The longer the time drags on, the greater the pressure on your shoulders." He is the one who is the master. At this time, instead of watching the fire from the other side, you still want to distinguish right from wrong for him."
"You"
Tu Yu wanted to refute, but suddenly he was speechless.
Li Dongyang said, "I know what you and your colleagues in the DPRK are thinking. You want to take this opportunity to suppress him and make him lose His Majesty's trust. But you can't suppress him without results, because what he planned There are many things that have no consequences or even signs beforehand. It all depends on his mouth. No matter what you say now, you think it makes sense, but it is meaningless to His Majesty."
< p>Tu Feng frowned and said, "Binzhi, you are speaking for Zhang Bingkuan.""Humph." Li Dongyang's face became cold, "The cabinet does not deal with ministry affairs. Officials are evaluated for promotion. It is your responsibility to oversee the capital and make plans. The use of troops mostly relies on the control of the platform, the governor, the generals, and the garrison officials. At this time, you should not say or do anything that is beyond the scope of your duties. How should you criticize the government. No matter how much you criticize, just don’t bring it to His Majesty’s side.”
Just when Tu Yu wanted to say something else, Li Dongyang said, “That’s right, let me tell you one more thing. What do you think of the noise in the court?” , Your Majesty, can’t you hear? Heng Heng left.”
Inside the Hubu Yamen.
Zhou Jing met Tu Jing, and Tu Jing also told the details of his meeting with Li Dongyang.Detailed description.
"Hey, why can't I figure out the attitude of the cabinet department?" Zhou Jing was also very curious.
Tu Feng said, "You and I are the ones who treat people peacefully in this court. Unlike those of the Fa Si, who speak and act radically, it is probably because of this that Binzhi said this."
Zhou Jing smiled and said, "This means that we will not care about the controversy between North Korea and China."
"That's probably it." Tu Yu looked helpless, "Actually, I also understand that if Zhang Bingkuan has to be implicated in this, His Majesty will not listen. In fact, from the beginning, who supported the fight against the Duoyan Three Guards? The prince said: "But your majesty seems to care about this. Tu Butang, you don't mean to say that this Bingkuan is also a bully and is afraid of the strong. He insists on finding soft persimmons, so much so." Don’t you dare to confront the little Tartar prince?”
Tu Feng slapped the table and said, “If we really let him fight, the whole court will have to circle around him. Otherwise, he can’t fight.” "Hit, who does it matter? What does it have to do with me?"
Zhou Jing nodded.
What the officials of the Ming Dynasty cared about most was the dominance of the court. They finally convinced Wu Xun, but it was Zhang Zhou's turn to take the lead.
Tu Jingdao said, "No matter what the purpose of recruiting troops is in the northwest, if it involves the capital, warehouses, and storage, there must be a threshold. It is not suitable to send troops in the coldest month of winter, it is not suitable to send troops to the fields in spring, and it is not suitable to send troops in the rainy and treacherous weather in summer. It is not appropriate to send troops in the autumn to ensure the harvest."
"Hahaha." Zhou Jing said with a smile, "I understand, it is not appropriate to send troops all year round."
Tu Yu said coldly. Well, the northwestern part of the Ming Dynasty has always been focused on defense. It is rare that the Tatars have stopped now. Zhang Bingkuan has already obtained the military merits, and even the Duke of the country has obtained them. What else can he ask for? He has to torment the entire Ming Dynasty and let the court revolve around him. In order to achieve his goal, others are in the Ministry of War, but in fact, the one who can restrict his actions the most is your Ministry of Husbandry."
"Yes." Zhou Jing nodded.
As the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and also as the head of the six ministries outside the cabinet, Tu Fu has sufficient say.
Zhou Jing suddenly asked, "I heard that within the last six films, many people secretly want to give gifts to Zhang Bingkuan. Do you want to participate in the impeachment?"
"What"
p>Tu Yu seemed surprised by this.
For example, when Li Guang gained power before, everyone from the government to the public gave gifts to Li Guang. Now that Zhang Zhou has gained power, because Zhang Zhou is a scholar himself, the civil servants in the court and Zhang Zhou have conflicts of interest. Rarely comes close.
As a former professional gift-giver, Tu Yu was a little surprised when Zhou Jing mentioned people and things that gave gifts to Zhang Zhou.
Probably thinking that I haven’t sent it yet, who is so ignorant?
Zhou Jingdao said, “Because of Zhang Bingkuan, His Majesty set up the Shangting Office, which obviously had the intention of hijacking the cabinet and the six ministries. There are no fixed rules for the appointment of officials. Zhang Bingkuan's wishes come first. The Yanwu Hall is filled with all kinds of people close to him.People, it is not surprising that some people want to take this opportunity to become an official in the court. ”
Tu Yan said angrily, “Then you go tell the people in the Sixth Section and there is no need to mention it to me.” The matter of participating in the impeachment of Zhang Bingkuan has nothing to do with me for the time being."
"Yes. "Zhou Jing seemed to understand.
Even if Tu Yu was willing to use some means to limit Zhang Zhou's rise, he did not dare to antagonize Zhang Zhou directly. He mostly wanted others to take the lead. Everyone wants to hide behind and be a hunter.
"Your Majesty, this is a report from Liaodong. There is mention of sending troops. It is said that the three guards of Duoyan were on the ground near Liaodong in the past two days. The herdsmen were all silent. "
" Ye Bushou was ordered to go 150 miles deep into the grassland, but still could not find out the news about the Liaodong troops led by Lu Zhongcheng. ”
Xiao Jing carefully presented the battle report to Zhu Youtang.
Zhu Youtang didn’t even want to read it.
No news is nothing to him The good news was a kind of torment, which made him anxious, fearing that God would take back everything he had given him before.
Zhu Youtang said, "If I had known better, I should wait a little longer for Zhijie to arrive and then let him lead the troops to dispatch from Jizhou.
Xiao Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Even if Marquis Anbian goes to such a war, nothing will be changed." "
"You want me to send Bingkuan?" Zhu Youtang frowned.
Xiao Jing said hurriedly, "I have no such intention. "
Zhu Youtang said coldly, "You'd better not mean this. I heard that when Lu Wan and Heling sent troops from Liaodong, they withdrew their troops, dispatched their generals, and mobilized baggage and horses. If something goes wrong, do you know?”
“I don’t know. "Xiao Jing explained hurriedly.
"Because of this, the trip was delayed for three or four days, otherwise we would not have caught the heavy snow, and there should have been news by now. "Zhu Youtang said.
When Xiao Jing heard this, he thought to himself, is your Majesty shirking responsibility?
If the troops are sent out smoothly, everything is Bingkuan's credit. If it is not, everything will be done." It's someone else's fault
"Bingkuan told me that after the weather gets better in the past two days, two groups of people from Liaodong and Jizhou will move closer to Liaodong, and then they will report their successes and failures. Come here, it will be a victory or defeat, or a lukewarm withdrawal of troops. Just look at these two days. In the past two days, I have asked Bingkuan to come to the palace to pray for blessings and dispel the bad luck. I am upset, and it just solves the bad luck in my heart."
