Chapter 602 He has already gone

The news that Liu Yu was captured by Jin Yiwei was still a secret to the local area and had not spread in Beijing.

But some gossip still spread like wildfire.

Li Dongyang had just returned to his villa in Xijiang Mixiang that day. He planned to take a rest first and go to the Ministry of Industry to discuss river affairs before nightfall, but he was blocked by Ma Wensheng's temporary visit. plan.

"You mean Zhang Bingkuan went and captured Liu Yu"

Li Dongyang looked very surprised when he learned what Ma Wensheng was going to tell him.

Ma Wensheng said helplessly, "It was the Jin Yiwei who took action. Almost all the governor's people were captured, and we don't know where they are now."

"He is What are you going to do?" Li Dongyang couldn't figure out Zhang Zhou's routine at all.

The target is Liu Yu, a person who is nominally a member of Zhang Zhou's faction. After all, Liu Yu sent troops to Jizhou and cured Zhang Zhou's efforts to complete the local governance of Yongping Mansion, and the emperor intended to promote him. People also made Liu Yu regarded as Zhang Zhou's local power. < /p>

"What"

Ma Wensheng was also startled.

Immediately he understood what Li Dongyang meant.

Could Zhang Zhou choose to attack Liu Yu because Liu Yu had different ideas?

You must know that Zhang Zhou is not the only one who "appreciates" Liu Yu in the court. Ma Wensheng has always admired Liu Yu, thinking that he was a breath of fresh air in the army, and even spoke for Liu Yu many times.

Li Dongyang said, "That's not true."

Ma Wensheng finally understood and sighed heavily, "Bin Zhi, do you think I would have any unusual dealings with a feudal official?" When I recommended him before, I also valued his ability. As for the other things, there was nothing extraordinary about him."

"Maybe Zhang Bingkuan thinks that he has some intention behind it to betray Brother Tu. You have to know. Sometimes things may not happen, even if someone intends it to happen, it is still a sin."

Li Dongyang is reminding Ma Wensheng again.

The fact that Liu Yu is being liquidated by Zhang Zhou does not necessarily mean that he has any substantial dealings with you. Even if Liu Yu attempts to jump around repeatedly, it is still a sin.

"Is that so? I don't know." Ma Wensheng was also speechless.

Liu Yu has never had any contact with me. If you have to say that he intends to have contact with me, then you have to ask Liu Yu. Where would I know if the incident had not happened?

Li Dongyang also No longer entangled in this issue, he said, "Zhang Bingkuan dared to go to the local area to take down a feudal censor. It was extremely dangerous. He never thought that this person might jump over the wall in a hurry."

Ma Wensheng said "Have you heard anything?"

"Yes." Li Dongyang no longer concealed anything and nodded, "Maybe you don't know that Liu Yu has been impeached by the local government many times for wrongdoing, and he is powerful in the local area. plateHe never stopped searching and looting wherever he went, and the army was also in a state of chaos. If he was guilty and should be punished, it seemed that Zhang Bingkuan should not be the one to take action. "

Ma Wensheng thought for a while, frowned and said, "But what I know is that wherever he has been, the officials have been fairly clear. "

"Brother Fuitu, this official, from the outside, looks different from the inside. Yan Guan has a deep understanding of local affairs, and even if something scandalous happens, there will not be so many Yan Guan slandering him alone. ”

Li Dongyang is a cabinet minister after all. You can basically see Guan Bai’s transcripts of the following memorials for participating in the impeachment. He will know more about Ke Dao’s participation in the impeachment.

Even though Ma Wensheng has a high status in the court, he has never interfered with Ke Dao, so he naturally has no idea about Liu Yu's impeachment.

Ma Wensheng said, "If this is the case, then. That makes sense, flies don't bite seamless eggs.

Li Dongyang frowned and said, "But I still don't understand why Zhang Bingkuan took action against Liu Yu. Even though this person has some bad deeds, he still relies on him. Logically speaking, this person can give Zhang Bingkuan works. If he captures this kind of person, who will dare to seek refuge with him in the future?"

Ma Wensheng said, "The one who took action was Jin Yiwei, not Zhang Bingkuan himself, or how could he happen to do it? I'm just in Jizhou Town. "

Li Dongyang asked, "Then why did he go to Ji Town?"

Ma Wensheng was also asked.

There are some things that Ma Wensheng wants to do. He doesn't understand, just like he doesn't understand, strictly speaking, does Liu Yu belong to the traditional faction or the Zhang Zhou faction?

Liu Yu's matter can be regarded as subverting his Ma Wensheng's values.

Li Dongyang waved his hand and said, "It has happened. I can't wait to rescue you, especially Brother Futu. Sometimes you still have to learn to watch the fire from the other side, even if Liu Yu is indeed the person you admire." . Just watch them dog eat dog. "

Ma Wensheng smiled bitterly.

How could this be "dog eats dog"

But Ma Wensheng seemed to understand that it seemed that the cabinet represented by Li Dongyang had nothing to do with Zhang The situation was indeed tense during the Zhou Dynasty, and everyone began to slander the northwest

Zhang Mao had traveled thousands of miles, but before he could reach the Yulin Guards stationed in Yansui Town. He could no longer hold on, and the daily marching speed dropped from seventy miles a day to less than fifty miles. The mood of the team began to become depressed.

It was also because the army learned that Yansui. A group of troops has been sent to the local area, and Wang Qiong, the commander-in-chief of the three sides, is personally in charge of the army.

This also means that Zhang Mao is no longer the commander-in-chief of the troops in the northwest. In other words, in this war, Zhang Mao is at best a participant, probably just a bystander, and the status of his men has declined rapidly. It seems that the court does not expect Zhang Mao to win this war.

"Father, the child has just been obtained. A secret report came from a bigAt the same time, it is said that Uncle Xinjian has led troops to Weininghai and has not appeared for many days, or he has sent troops from Weininghai into the grassland. ”

When Zhang Rui reported the news to Zhang Mao, his words were also a little nervous.

Zhang Mao was still eating, and he was not enjoying the hot soup because he was marching outside. , there was only a small bench and a small table in the tent. When he heard this, he slapped the table and even some soup spilled out.

"Father"

When Zhang Rui noticed that there was heat. The soup fell into Zhang Mao's hands and he wanted to step forward to help clean it up.

But Zhang Mao seemed to feel no pain and sighed, "I was tricked by Zhang Bingkuan." "

Zhang Rui said, "How can my father say such things? As a minister of the Ministry of War, how can he plot against the honorable ministers and generals in the court? Even if he has His Majesty's support, he should abide by his duty. And the child thinks that Cai Guogong He is not a person seeking personal gain, he should have other arrangements. Judging from the current situation, all groups of people attack at the same time, which will be a greater deterrent to the Tatars. If we are the only one on our side."

"You are trying to say that being a father is not enough to deter the Tatars. In other words, in the eyes of Tatars, a father is just a soft persimmon and can be pinched casually, right?"

Zhang Mao was also angry.

On the big issues of right and wrong, and Forget it, he is muddying the waters, now it is clear that his son is siding with Zhang Zhou.

How can Zhang Mao not be angry?

The elbow is turned outward, but it is still his own. The eldest son, the one who will inherit the family business in the future, is equivalent to being divided and disintegrated by Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Rui lowered his head and said nothing because he always talked about Zhang Zhou's problems with his father recently. Some unfavorable results occurred, and neither father nor son could convince the other.

"Wang Dehua sent troops, right?" Zhang Mao calmed down and asked coldly.

“I don’t know yet. "

Zhang Rui said, "Father, you should also know that the focus of the Tatar invasion is still in Ningxia and other places, which are also some distance away from Yansui. Wang Zhongcheng's troops did not leave from Ningxia, but just When the troops marched to Hetao and other places, some of the Tatar tribes that were previously in Hetao seemed to have all withdrawn from Hetao because of the Ming Dynasty's troops. There are rumors in the army that as the next step, our government will build more cities and fortresses within the Hetao, and relocate the people inside to ensure the progress of farming and other things. "

Zhang Mao said with emotion, "The Hetao is a good place after all. The water and grass are very good. Even if there is a desert, it is still not to the point where not a single blade of grass grows. If the Ming Dynasty could build a fortress within the Hetao, local people would also be able to get some rest. "

"Father"

Zhang Rui seemed very puzzled.

Why did his father suddenly change from a person who only cares about his own selfish interests to a person who is considerate of the people's concerns? He is a "good man" who cares about the country and the people

Zhang Mao said, "Do you think my father doesn't have some responsibility in his heart? It's a pity that in the past few decades, my father has not had the opportunity to come to the Northwest in person. This time, I also had a lot of feelings. It would be better if there was no Zhang Bingkuan.”

Zhang Rui was suddenly speechless.

The thoughts in his father’s head seemed to be very out of touch.

But it also made Zhang Rui realize that his father It seems that as I get older, I think more about the future and destiny of my family, and I am no longer as shy as before.

The fate of the family seems to have reached a crossroads.

Zhang Mao sighed.

It seems a bit senile, which makes Zhang Rui feel a little distressed.< /p>

"Don't worry, father, the child will go and make arrangements right away. "Zhang Rui hurriedly went out to deliver the order.

After Zhang Rui left, Zhang Mao put away his compassionate attitude, his eyes gradually became fierce, he pinched the soup bowl in his hand and said "This boy was deceived by Zhang Bingkuan to save your life. He even ignored the interests of this government and said that he would give birth to a girl who is outgoing. I am afraid that even this son will not be able to keep my old bones."< /p>

Liu Yu was quickly escorted to the capital.

The news finally spread.

Following this came the news of Wang Qiong's invasion of Hetao. , and Zhang Mao was slow to advance in the northwest, and his march became slower and slower after leaving Pianguan. It seemed that he could not catch up with Ningxia to stop the Tatars.

After this court meeting, Zhu Youtang specially appointed the cabinet to the post. The three of them, plus Lu Wan and Xiong Xiu who were on duty at the listening office, called to Qianqing Palace.

"In the past few days, I have had people sort out the military situation in the northwest. , you take a look first. ”

Zhu Youtang first gave seats to a few people, and then asked Li Zhang to hand over the booklets he had prepared to the five people present.

Xie Qian was not there. .

It is said that he is recuperating, but everyone knows that the rift between Xie Qian and the emperor has already arisen, and it seems that retirement is only a matter of time.

The five of them opened the books in their hands. , after checking, it was nothing more than sorting out the military situation in various places, but I discovered one thing that was different from what I had learned before, that is, Wang Shouren led his troops across the Weining Sea, and counting the days, it has been six days since the troops were dispatched.

"Xin Xinbo is sending troops from the Weining Sea. According to the march plan he reported before, he can march more than a hundred miles a day, or even two hundred miles a day. If everything goes well, he should enter. The grassland is also nearly a thousand miles long, close to the Tatar hinterland. ”

Zhu Youtang’s expression was somewhat relieved.

Cheng Minzheng said, “Your Majesty, I don’t know how many troops Xin Xin Bo will lead. If he falls into a lonely battle, will there be any soldiers and horses?” Rush to help"

Zhu Youtang did not answer.

Li Zhang on the side said, "Mr. Cheng Ge, it's like this. Uncle Xinjian obviously can't rush to help along the way. If he falls into a tight siege, I'm afraid I can only rely on myself. Everything was planned before the troops were sent out. As long as they brought enough artillery, muskets, and fire bombs,Shouldn't be a problem. "

Lu Wandao "Based on the current military comparison between the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars, the Tatars can no longer compete with us head-on. If they send troops normally, the Tatars will definitely avoid fighting. It would be better to send troops behind the enemy every time and give them a fatal blow. Only in this way can the Tatars be forced to fight back, and our Ming soldiers can resist the bandits several times their own without harming themselves. With Xin Xin Bo's tactics like this, success is certain. "

Zhu Youtang expressed satisfaction with Lu Wan's words.

He nodded and said, "What the Lu Qing family said is absolutely true. The question now is not whether the Ming soldiers can win in a head-on battle. Whenever there is a war, our Ming soldiers will definitely win a complete victory. It just depends on whether the Tatars dare to fight. It seems difficult at the moment. "

Li Dongyang said, "Your Majesty, if you go deep into the grassland so hastily, I'm afraid you will encounter trouble outside the battlefield. Factors such as the right time and location must also be guarded against.

Zhu Youtang smiled and asked, "Does the Li Qing family think that the Tatars are adapted to the climate on the grasslands, but the soldiers of the country cannot adapt to it? In fact, it doesn't matter." During this battle, Bingkuan also suggested to me that we should use the barbarians to control the barbarians, take advantage of the internal contradictions of the Tatars, and use the conflicts between the Huosi, Duoyan and other tribes and the little Tatar prince to send troops to deal with the Tatars. ”

Li Dongyang did not expect that his words would lead the emperor to tell the “secret”.

Li Dongyang took advantage of the situation and asked, “I don’t know how to provoke internal conflicts”

"Bingkuan has gone. "

Zhu Youtang said, "He is going to Ji Town. At the same time, he will go north with the army and go to Daning to meet the leaders of the tribes around Duoyan and arrange for them to send troops from the east. , will also lead troops to attack from the west. Coupled with the three people of the British Duke, Xin Xin Bo and Wang Qiong, the little Tatar prince can be said to be attacked from both sides. I believe that this Warring States Dynasty can achieve the greatest results at the smallest cost. The people under the command of the little Tartar prince may be hungry this winter.
