When Pu Yuanzong came out of Qinzheng Hall, he was completely confused.
Before entering, he was still a hero of North Korea and a capable minister who assisted the new lord Zhongzheng. He also helped North Korea deal with the overlord country to achieve a balance of power. How could he go in? If you come out, you will be sent away.
"Why don't you fight? I think your king has no respect for you."
Xu Jing will be nearby now To fan the flames, he had received some advice from Tang Yin before, and it was always to sow discord between the monarchs and ministers of North Korea.
Pu Yuanzongdao "As a minister, I should understand the difficulties of my lord. Just as the imperial court now needs people in Liaodong, I go there on behalf of North Korea, but also because my lord respects your majesty today."
p>These words are righteous and righteous, and there is a determination and attitude of being a loyal minister to the death.
Tang Yin didn’t make any comments, he just patted Pu Yuanzong on the shoulder and walked away.
About that.
Believe it or not, it’s up to you to be happy. Anyway, you’ve done a lot of self-deception.
Three Tun Camps.
It had been less than five days since Cui Yuan and Zhu Feng had withdrawn their troops from the grassland. Only those who had experienced it could understand the pain they and the soldiers they led had experienced. It also made Zhu Feng realize how important it is to be able to accurately judge the direction and understand the map.
Leading troops into the grassland, they actually managed to get lost. Even if they got lost, they actually bumped into the main force of the Tatars by mistake
This kind of shit luck would never happen again. The second time, if we enter the grassland again, we may have to die in the desert, and we don't even know whether we will come back alive.
"Brother Cui, it's a good thing. The imperial court has officially appointed you as the commander-in-chief of Jizhou."
Zhu Feng learned the news from the capital that day and hurried to congratulate Cui Yuan. .
But there was no joy at all on Cui Yuan’s face.
Liu Yu, the governor of Jizhou, has been "brought to justice" by Zhang Zhou. Now the governor of Jizhou is vacant, let alone the Jiliao general system that the emperor has established but the position is still vacant. He Being the governor of Jizhou means that he has to handle military and political affairs, but he has no experience in communicating with local officials.
With his status as a foreign relative, others did not have a good discussion with him, nor did they treat him seriously as a capable person. Most people felt that he relied on nepotism to get to the position.
Zhu Feng is probably the only person in the entire army who truly recognizes his abilities and does not even regard him as his consort.
But Zhu Feng
It’s hard to describe in one word.
Cui Yuandao "With my qualifications and ability, it is difficult for me to be qualified for this job, so I have submitted a petition to your Majesty to appoint someone else. I also recommended you to your Majesty."
< p> Cui Yuan told the truth. He really wants to return to the capital now, and he misses his wife and home. Thinking about the carefree life before, it seems quite good.Anything?For a capable person, no matter how great his achievements are, others will still say that he is a prince-in-law and that he relied on women to get to the top. What’s the point?
Cui Yuan himself is not the kind of person who wants to move up. For a crawling person, power is at best a tonic to him. He can accept it with or without it.
Zhu Feng said hurriedly, "Brother Cui, please don't laugh. I am going back to the capital. Yanwu Hall still needs me. I will not be idle when I go back."
Although Cui Yuan To give Zhu Feng face, he didn't say anything, but his eyes seemed to say, you know in your heart whether you will be idle when you go back. If you can change it, I would rather go back to Yanwu Hall to "busy".
"By the way, I also got news that Brother Zhang and Princess Yongkang are coming here soon." Zhu Feng quickly wanted to change the subject.
Because Zhu Feng was really afraid of being cheated by Cui Yuan, and he was the one left behind in the end.
Cui Yuan was surprised and said, "Gong Cai Guo is coming, and there is also the eldest princess."
Zhang Zhou came even though he came, he actually came with Princess Yongkang. What is the truth? The key is, this matter Why didn't we learn from the official documents of the court, but from Zhu Feng's mouth whether this was a public matter or a private matter?
Zhu Feng said, "That's what I said, it seems to be to reward the three armies. The eldest princess wants to Come, maybe I asked your Majesty."
Cui Yuan looked a little disappointed and said, "I don't know."
Zhu Feng smiled and comforted, "Maybe Her Royal Highness wanted to give it. What a surprise, this matter was indeed not publicized, and Brother Zhang didn’t tell me. I learned the news from the capital.”
At this time, Cui Yuan couldn’t help but look at Zhu Feng curiously. He seemed to be wondering where Zhu Feng had so many information channels.
But then he understood.
Zhu Feng has been hanging out in Yanwu Hall for several years, and it is not in vain. Many generals who came out of Yanwu Hall, even if these people are not top military generals, are distributed in the middle ranks of various armies. , have become the backbone of various frontiers, and are all actual military leaders.
Zhu Feng usually laughs and laughs, and he doesn’t think others respect Zhu Feng, but it is not difficult to get information.
In addition, Zhu Feng also has a friend named Zhang Zhou. Everyone in the world knows that Zhu Feng and Zhang Zhou are brothers. Moreover, behind Zhu Feng is the big tree of Cheng Guo Gongfu. It is indeed not comparable to a new upstart like Cui Yuan.
Cui Yuandao "I don’t know why Cai Guogong is here."
Obviously Cui Yuan is very worried that Zhang Zhou is here to serve as a supervisor. He, the commander-in-chief who has not yet taken office, feels a lot of pressure. .
Zhu Feng smiled and said, "I have learned some gossip about this, which is unknown to outsiders. If you want to hear it, I will tell you in detail."
As he said, Zhu Feng sat down and said with a smile, "Brother Zhang is here to mobilize troops to Liaodong. There are not only Mongolian Tatars but also Jurchen Tatars. We have dealt with the Mongolian Tatars." After a while, the Jurchen Tatars have begun to make trouble again in the past year. Brother Zhang is not here, and neither is the new uncle.I'm really getting carried away now. "
Cui Yuan was obviously a little ignorant about this, and asked, "Haven't all the Jurchens been dealt with? I also know that most of the Jurchens have moved south. "
Zhu Feng said, "Tatars are Tatars, and their habits are hard to change. It is true that they moved south, but their nature is bad. How can they engage in production with peace of mind. In places such as southern Liaoning, they began to cause trouble, and even They occupied some cities and villages, and some even retreated northward on their own. "
"That's right" Cui Yuandao, "then one policeman should be killed and a hundred policemen should be killed. ”
“It’s useless. If these Jurchens were all in the same group, it would be easy to solve, but they themselves are like mountains, and there is no connection between one and that. There is serious internal strife among them. These people are disobedient. They wanted to adopt a gentle policy before, but now Maybe we need to be tougher, even if we move to Liaonan, or we can send them directly to Yunnan."
Zhu Feng looked very knowledgeable.
Cui Yuan asked, "It depends on you. "I mean, the next step is that Cai Guogong will lead his troops to defeat the Jurchens."
Knowing that Zhang Zhou was going to Liaodong through Yongping Mansion, Cui Yuan was somewhat relieved, at least he didn't have to face such a powerful person like Zhang Zhou every day. Boss, it’s easy to show your cowardice.
Zhu Feng said, “I don’t think so. I heard it might be someone who uses Tang Yin. That Tang Bohu should not be underestimated. He is Brother Zhang's classmate, and he has not returned from North Korea. ”
“By the way, why didn’t he reply?” Cui Yuan was like a political novice now.
He didn’t understand many things, and no one followed him before. He said that he didn't need to ask, and these things didn't have much to do with him.
Now that Zhu Feng said it, he naturally wanted to find out.
As a general soldier, if he didn't know all these things, he would feel that he was too difficult to get along with.
Zhu Feng said with a smile, "Tang Yin looks like a scholar, but he is ruthless. Without making any concessions, he took over North Korea's monarchs and ministers in one fell swoop and made it a big deal with just a few hundred people. He went to North Korea to mobilize troops, but the North Koreans did not want to help us fight the Jurchens. Only by letting Tang Yin go could we force them to send troops. "
Cui Yuan shook his head and said, "In my estimation, even if Tang Shilang goes there, North Korea may not submit. No matter how many soldiers and horses they send, they are not as effective as the Ming Dynasty sending thousands of soldiers and horses." "
Zhu Feng said, "You don't understand this. It doesn't matter how many soldiers and horses North Korea sends, and it doesn't matter if their soldiers and horses can't do anything. The point is to let them fight. It's best to lose both sides." "
"Oh. "
Cui Yuandao, "So in the next step, Cai Guogong may send people to deal with North Korea."
"This can't be said nonsense. After all, North Korea is our vassal state. How many years has it passed? Even so, the place is a bit dissatisfied with the king's rule, but in any case, it is generally obedient. If this kind of words were known, it might not be thought that we have to rely on coercion rather than kindness when dealing with vassal countries. ”
Zhu Feng seemed to care about face matters now..
Cui Yuan nodded with a smile and said, "After hearing what you said, I felt enlightened."
Zhu Feng stood up, smiled and said in return, "Anyway, I'll leave the affairs here to you in the future. After I waited for Brother Zhang to come, I discussed with him the date of my return. I thought I missed him after not seeing him for a while. Don’t get me wrong. I feel it is a great honor to know him in this life. ”
Cui Yuan also stood up to see him off. Hearing the words, he felt the same and said, "Although Cai Guogong didn't mention much to me, he can be regarded as my boss. I also feel that I am lucky to know such a person in my lifetime."< /p>
"Both each other." Zhu Feng said, "Then we can work together in the future. If we help Brother Zhang more, we can become a pillar of the court like him in the future."
Cui Yuan was stunned.
We have led troops to fight such a big victory now, and have been entrusted with important tasks by the emperor, so we are not considered pillars
But thinking about what Zhang Zhou did will also make Cui Yuan Shao felt powerless.
It’s really a comparison between people
Zhang Zhou is already on his way to Santun camp.
Even if his destination is the port of Tianjin Wei, he still has to go to Santun camp first. His presence in rewarding the three armies will show that the court attaches great importance to it, and at the same time, Go meet Zhu Feng and Cui Yuan to make next arrangements.
Yongkang walked with him on the road, and he was just a team. Yongkang wanted to meet Zhang Zhou several times, but Zhang Zhou refused.
As soon as they arrived within the boundaries of Yongping Mansion, the team was still reorganizing outside the post house that day. Yongkang insisted on coming over to meet Zhang Zhou. He was also polite to Sun Shangqi who came from Zhang Zhou, so there was no conflict. .
"Master, the eldest princess is outside." Guo Ang came in and informed Zhang Zhou.
As the envoy of Fusi Town in Beizhen, Guo Ang traveled with Zhang Zhou, and Sun Shangqi also came with him.
But Sun Shangqi did not stay in the capital as the governor of Beizhen Fusi Town. This position is currently vacant, or it is still Guo Ang's temporary post.
Zhang Zhou said, "Please."
Zhang Zhou did not need to go out to greet him, but just waited in the post house. Then he saw Yongkang coming escorted by several government soldiers.
"Mr. Zhang, why have you been invited to see me so many times but you can't get it? There are some things. Shouldn't we make it clear now? I heard that after arriving at the garrison, you will leave without stopping. Can't we open up? "Let's talk about it"
With Yongkang's temper, she really doesn't want to suffer, and she even doesn't want to talk to people like this.
No one in the world who can suppress her seems to exist.
But she also knew that she had to ask Zhang Zhou now, so the questioning was a bit lacking in momentum, so she could only say it tactfully.
Zhang Zhou smiled and motioned to the chair beside him, probably asking her to sit down and talk.
Yongkang said, "If you don't want to see someone, I can't help but know what's good and what's good. Just say it and leave. I just heard that the emperor's brother asked the consort to stay in Jizhou as the commander-in-chief. This is different from the previous emperor." Brother, what I said is different. I didn’t say it beforeOkay, let the Prince Consort Cui return to the capital and give him errands in the capital camp."
Zhang Zhou shrugged and said, "Your Highness, Prince Consort Cui did win the last battle, but that has passed. "
"What does the past mean? Don't you mean it doesn't count?" When Yongkang heard this, Zhang Zhou planned to "defend the debt."
Zhang Zhou said, "Of course the credit you have had cannot be counted." There is no next game."
"Next game"
Yongkang was furious when he heard this, and said angrily, "After fighting one game after another, I just returned from Ningxia When he came back, he was sent to Jizhou. The war in Jizhou has just ended. What kind of errand are you going to send him again? Are you sincerely trying to torture him to death?"
Zhang Zhou said, "No, this time He may be needed to assist in controlling the military affairs of Jiliao, pacify Liaodong, and further clean up the Jurchens. "
"What do you mean?" Yongkang frowned.
Zhang Zhou took out a map and spread it out for her to see under Yongkang's puzzled eyes.
< p> Yongkang said, "I am a woman and cannot understand maps and such. "Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "I thought there was nothing in the world that you don't understand, eldest princess. ”
Yongkang glared at Zhang Zhou fiercely and wanted to get angry, but he held it back.
Zhang Zhou said, “The threat of Jurchens has always been there, and the threat will get worse in the future.” Growing older, in my opinion, is strangled in the cradle. Before they rise, the hidden dangers must be completely eradicated. The Jurchens have been dealt with once before. If the eldest princess cares about it, she should also know that Xin Xinbo and others have made great achievements before. "
"What does this have to do with my consort?" Yongkang obviously wanted to protect her husband.
No matter what you say, you can't let your husband take risks again.
Zhang Zhou said: "Cui Prince Consort does not need to lead troops on the front line, but he may need to coordinate troop deployment and garrison, etc. The next step in Shanhaiguan is that he may have to guard it. If people from all walks of life attack, they can probably mobilize 200,000 troops, and he is only part of it."
"Two hundred thousand"
"That's right, it's two hundred thousand. Although the Jurchens are small in number, they are very scattered. Even if they deploy 200,000 troops, they may not be able to cure the problem. They just want to further clean up the situation. I am here this time to help complete this matter. "Please remember to bookmark this chapter when you finish it.
