Su Man'er's matter has been temporarily resolved, and the Su family's matter needs an opportunity to be resolved. Don't rush it. The first thing to be resolved right now is the matter in front of you.After Leizhou Mansion became an empty city, under Yang Chendong's order, most of it was burned down in a big fire. It was said that it was the remnants of the Yellow Bandit Army, so many facts could be covered up, such as the population A large number of disappearances can be regarded as an explanation.
After the Leizhou fire, those who should have left also left.On a flat beach near the sea, Yang Chendong personally saw off the crowd.This also includes Su Man'er and her maid Xiaoyun.
Now that the Yellow bandit army has been wiped out, Su Man'er should also do it.But now that Yang Chendong is fine, this woman must disappear, at least so that Menda can't find her.In line with Jin Yiwei's pervasive way of doing things, it seemed unsafe to keep her anywhere, so he finally decided to send her to Chixian City.In Yang Chendong's words, let her go there to relax. In addition, she can better show her abilities and let her arrest the military song and dance troupe of Chixian City.This is an excellent group for laboring and comforting the army. If it is used well, it will play a great role after the war. With this alone, it is worthy of Yang Chendong's attention.
It is a bit cruel for Su Maner to be separated as soon as they are together.But she also knows that whether it is her own affairs or her husband's affairs, it is a big matter, compared to this little matter of hers, it is nothing.
Su Maner agreed, without crying, but gave Yang Chendong a long kiss in front of Hu Yan and Mrs. Xue. This was also a way of declaring her sovereignty, telling them that she had truly become Yang Chendong's woman.
Kaohsiung and Zhu Fangyong left by boat, but Yang Chendong did not go with them to Xiaoliuqiu Island. Although he always wanted to see the changes there, he did not do so in the end. He knew that his mission had not been completed. Although the Yellow Bandit Army was said to have been wiped out, Yu Yanyu Lie was responsible for the matter in Yunnan, because at this time the Ming Dynasty was divided into the Northern Ming Dynasty and the Southern Ming Dynasty.
Yang Chendong wanted to intervene in Yunnan's affairs, and he must intervene, but there is still a big difference between being asked to help, or taking the initiative to help.If you are too proactive, it will inevitably make people think that you have some ideas, which is extremely detrimental to the next thing.
Now all he has to do is wait, waiting for Yingzong and the Nanming court to be unable to resist, and someone will come forward to invite him.Now he just sent Huang Yuliang's head to Gaozhou Prefecture, and at the same time he also brought more than 8000 soldiers (after Wu Sheng's Leng Feng [-]st Battalion and Auxiliary Battalion were all formed, the team has grown again) and appeared here And live down.
Yang Chendong led an army of [-] troops to stop outside the city of Gaozhou Prefecture, which made Yu Guang, the former general of Shaozhou guarding here, a little terrified.Ordinarily, the Yellow bandit army has been wiped out, and the mission of the imperial envoy should be considered complete, but he still leads so many soldiers to swagger outside the city. What does it mean?What's the point?
Chapter 4 Kuang Ye's Sorrow (fourth update)
If someone else dared to do this, don't look at the lack of soldiers in hand, but Yu Guang still dared to lead soldiers to question.But when the person he was facing was Yang Chendong, he couldn't even think of asking the crime, or in his eyes, as long as the other party didn't make trouble for him, he would be lucky. As for him asking the crime, hehe, let's forget it. How many more days does he want to live?
He had no choice but to take Yang Chendong by himself, so Yu Guang reported the matter to Guan Ying and General Ma Wei in Wuzhou Prefecture, and at the same time sent the head of the bandit leader Huang Yuliang.
In Wuzhou Mansion, the frontline battle report was sent down, the Huang bandit army was destroyed, and the bandit leader Huang Yuliang was decapitated. All these were placed in front of Guan Ying and Ma Wei, which made them very excited.But the excitement was accompanied by a piece of bad news sent to them, that is, the brave Yang Chendong was resting outside Gaozhou Mansion with a team of more than 8000 people.
This is not an ordinary team, but a strong army that is very capable of fighting.Facing such an army, even if they were given twice or even three times as many troops, the two generals would not be sure of victory.
What the two of them knew more clearly was that this so-called imperial envoy status was set up for the Yellow bandit army. Now that the banditry is gone, the title of imperial envoy should be taken back. How many of them are there?
"Report." After Guan Ying and Ma Wei looked at each other, they made the same decision.Obviously, they have a reputation for self-knowledge. They know that facing Yang Chendong, the level of the two of them is not enough. Even so, they can only hand over the conflict. As for the decision of the emperor and the court, they only need to obey that is.
Outside Gaozhou Mansion, Yang Chendong was indeed resting his army.
The 10,000+ yellow bandit army was wiped out, and there were many meritorious deeds in the war, so it happened to be rewarded one by one at this time.
Leng Feng has made meritorious service, those who should be promoted will be promoted, and those who should be commended will be commended. With the arrival of Kaohsiung this time, he has also sent a lot of military medals, which can be handed out together at this time.
After the auxiliary soldiers made great achievements and had no problems with their loyalty and cultural lessons, they were directly promoted to Leng Feng. For a while, the number of Leng Feng's second regiment, which originally had only 1000 people at the beginning, rose to nearly 300 people.The three battalions under its jurisdiction have also changed from the original three companies to four companies.
Don't underestimate the 300 people who have just become Leng Feng. Their comprehensive personal qualities are already very strong, and most of them are old auxiliary soldiers who came out of Chixian City.Some of them's personal strength has already met the requirements for entering Leng Feng, but they just haven't passed the final test.Now that there is time, Yang Chendong called Kong Jie, Political Commissar of the Second Regiment, Song Zhe, Political Commissar of the Auxiliary Corps, and others as examiners, and gave the 300 people a chance to jump over the dragon's gate.
Temporary auxiliary soldiers, those who have made military achievements, and those with good personal military qualities will naturally become official auxiliary soldiers.The auxiliary corps also increased from the original 2000 to 3000.
Leng Feng has 300 soldiers and 3000 auxiliary soldiers, and the rest are temporary auxiliary soldiers adapted from the Yellow Bandit Army who have just joined.Their number is also the largest, reaching nearly 4000 people.
Specifically, it is the Second Lengfeng Regiment, which has three battalions under it, each with four companies, and a company of 100 people, that is, 1000 and 100 people, plus 1300 people directly under the regiment, a total of [-] people.
Auxiliary Corps, nine ordinary battalions, one battalion and three companies, one company 100 people, a total of 2700 people.There are 300 people directly under the regiment, 3000 people in total.
Temporary auxiliary troops, a total of ten battalions, one battalion and four companies, one company of 100 people, a total of forty companies, with a total of 4000 people.
From 3000 to 8000 people in the past, it has become more than [-] people now, and its strength has more than doubled.This is the speed at which an army develops in a state of war.Only war is the best ladder for soldiers to advance, and it is also the best whetstone for forming a strong army.
The rest work is still going on. After all, there are so many battalions, companies and platoons, and some suitable officers are always needed to take up the post.What is the personal strength of these people?Do you have the ability to command, can you unite your comrades, and how is your loyalty?They have to be checked one by one.
While the Yang Family Army was renovating, the Imperial Palace in Nanjing, the capital of the Southern Ming Dynasty, was also very busy at this time, and it was even noisy.
The Guangdong Rebellion was resolved, the Huang bandit army was destroyed, the bandit leader Huang Yuliang was decapitated, and the head had been sent to the Ministry of War to be verified as correct.
Ordinarily, this should be good news. Originally, the founding of Nanming was not long, and the interior was not completely stable. Two major wars occurred one after another, which made the treasury, which was not full at first, even more empty.For this matter, Empress Qian has already started to cut down on clothes and food in the harem, and cut down expenses. Although the effect it can play is not very great, it represents a signal that even the royal family is saving their lives. These courtiers Naturally, they also want to express something. If they learn from others, they can save some gold and silver expenses.
With one of the two blocks missing, the Nanming court should breathe a sigh of relief.But when the battle report attached the news that Yang Chendong stayed outside Gaozhou Prefecture to rest, the courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty, including Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, couldn't calm down.
If the Yellow Bandit Army is a poisonous snake, which is very entangled and can even hurt people, then Yang Chendong is a fierce tiger descending the mountain, and its danger is far greater than the former.
Such a fierce tiger did not return to the mountain immediately after killing the poisonous snake, but stayed. I am afraid that with Nanming's military strength today, it is really difficult to restrict it.If so, wouldn't it shake the foundation of the country?
"Kuang Shangshu, although you acted with good intentions and put a lot of effort into this matter at the time, but now that person comes and doesn't leave, how do you explain it?" Shangshu Liu De.
My brother-in-law lost all face in Hangzhou, and it was Kuang Ye who was upholding justice there.Although it was true that the brother-in-law was wrong, Kuang Ye also explained it afterwards, on the surface Liu De had long since stopped pursuing it.But can what happened really be wiped away like this?He didn't speak, just because the conditions were immature, now that he had the opportunity, how could he be polite?The spearhead of the attack is directed at it.
Following Liu De's words, Shang Ren, the imperial censor of the capital, also stood up and pointed out Kuang Ye's fault, "I impeached Kuang Ye, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, because I am ignorant, and the officials recommended by the Ministry of War are not qualified for their current positions. Including"
Shang Lu opened his mouth and came, reading a lot of names.Some of them were generals who were defeated in the Yunnan War, and some were young generals who were newly promoted after the reorganization of the guards, but their qualifications were somewhat insufficient.
Because of the rebellion, the importance of the Ministry of War was fully reflected.With the rising tide, Kuang Ye's power has also increased a lot, and many yamen need to obey his orders unconditionally.That is to say, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility, the more things need to be managed, and the more things to be done, and the more people will be offended.
The existence of the original six parts is a place of mutual checks and balances.Even if the power of some departments is greater, it will be very limited, but when the Ministry of War holds a lot of power and wants to override the other five departments, it is natural to cause public anger.
As the censor of the capital, Shang Ren had already received a lot of materials accused by officials. He didn't say it before because of the two rebellions, and he didn't have the energy to engage in internal governance at all.But it’s different now. The chaos in Guangdong has been solved, which means that there is a major hidden danger. Next, Nanming can do his best to deal with the disaster in Yunnan. At this time, they see hope, and they naturally think about picking peaches and grabbing credit. .
And if he wanted to get what he needed, Kuang Ye became the first person to be overthrown.Even if you can't push it, you have to show it some strengths, let him know that some people can't be offended, and some benefits are not something you can get alone.
Liu De did it out of selfishness, while Shang Ren did it out of selfishness.But in any case, the spearhead was directed at the veteran Minister of the Ministry of War, these words were spoken in the court, Kuang Ye held back his right hand that was trembling due to anger, and slowly closed his eyes.
There is a saying that if you don't die, you won't die.If you don't do anything, nothing will happen.
Kuang Ye, who is dedicated to serving the country, is nearly seventy years old, and has been in charge of the Ministry of War for decades, which makes him very proficient in this way.It was precisely because of this that he found that many people were incompetent, which greatly affected the development of the Nanming army, so he punished some of the generals who had paid nothing and reported false merits, and replaced them with a group of young generals. It is up to them to change the military affairs of Nanming today.
It is naturally correct to do so, but it will naturally affect some people who hold real power, and even touch the cake in their hands.
May I ask?Which general will have no one behind him who pays for nothing and pays false merits?Even if there is no backer at the beginning, after they have money, they will go to Beijing to find a backer and find a so-called retreat for themselves.The so-called running official is not a specialty of any dynasty, but has existed since ancient times.
In this way, Kuang Ye's actions amounted to mobilizing a lot of interests.Now it's only Liu De and Shang Ren who stand up, which is already giving him a lot of face. This is because he was not too aggressive when he started. Otherwise, according to his opinion, the generals of the various guards are afraid If you want to replace [-]% of them, if you do that, you will really provoke public anger. This time, they won't just stand up and criticize you.
Slowly closing his eyes, Kuang Ye felt a little sad in his heart, but soon he opened them again, and then fell to his knees with a plop, "Your Majesty, I am old and have been unable to sleep at night recently, please The emperor took pity on him and allowed the veteran to retire and return to his hometown."
Chapter 4: Wang Ji Plays Smelly Chess (Part [-])
In the face of impeachment, Kuang Ye took a counterattack.He didn't choose to explain anything, and he didn't mean to ask for credit, but he simply teased him. I quit, and I didn't serve the head office.
Zhu Qizhen who was seated on the golden dragon chair has been watching all this silently.
After undergoing civil engineering changes, Zhu Qizhen's mind has matured a lot, at least he can still see clearly what is going on in front of him.That is, everyone thinks that Kuang Ye's performance has been too much these days, and his power is too heavy, and they must join forces to attack him.
The courtiers under him are divided into cliques, which emperor would not know this?But most of them passed by with one eye closed.After all, only when there is a fight, will the emperor's important feelings be displayed, and he can better find a way of balance that is beneficial to him.
In fact, not only the ministers, but also Zhu Qizhen, who is the emperor, has received many secret reports from Jinyiwei and Dongchang during this period of time.Most of what he talked about was who the minister of the Ministry of War met, who he took down, and who he recommended.
Because the war is imminent, sometimes things are urgent, and it is often Kuang Ye who gets things done first, and then writes a booklet to explain the whole story to him, the emperor.
There is nothing wrong with such a thing in a state of emergency.But once the world is peaceful, if someone wants to pursue such a thing, they will be caught right away.Even as the emperor Zhu Qizhen, he felt resentful for Kuang Ye's failure to report everything, and sometimes he wondered if he, the emperor, still exists in the eyes of this old Shangshu, and such a courtier should also Take a good beating.
Even the emperor thinks like this, so it's no wonder that under the accusations of everyone, Kuang Ye can only choose to become an official.
He deliberately thought of beating Kuang Ye, and also beating all the courtiers. In addition, the Guangdong Rebellion has been resolved, and the pressure on the Ministry of War has been greatly relieved at this time.After Zhu Qizhen weighed it in his heart, he opened his golden mouth and said: "Since Kuang Aiqing's health is not good, it is best to rest in the capital for a while. I will arrange for the imperial doctor to go to the house to treat Aiqing. As for the Ministry of War For the time being, let the left servant, Wang Ji, take care of it."
Zhu Qizhen actually agreed, and there was no so-called pushback.This kind of performance fell into the eyes of other ministers, some were happy, some were excited, and some felt disappointed.
