Chapter 116: Qi Jiguang enters Beijing

Zhang Cheng and Shen Shixing discussed the content, Gao Shishi had no idea, until Shen Shixing and his party returned to Beijing, neither side had any practical measures, to be precise, they did not even communicate.

Shen Shixing has always been an extremely calm person, as the nominal "seat teacher" of Gao Pragmatic, he has seen a lot of Gao Pragmatic quietly getting rid of his opponents for so many years, and naturally knows that Gao Pragmatic is powerful, and it is not easy to hack such a person.

At the beginning, Yu Youding secretly interfered with Zhang Whale and Liu Shou's plan for high pragmatism, and he almost put himself into it with the dignity of the old man, this incident gave Shen Shixing enough vigilance, so he would never make a move until everything was ready.

Besides, with such a plan, I don't know how much preliminary work has to be carried out secretly, and now it is still far from the time is ripe, so what's the hurry? It is only right to lay ambushes everywhere step by step.

Moreover, although it is easy to defeat the planned battle, there are several difficulties here, and they must all be solved before we can act.

For example, this battle must be commanded by Gao Shishi personally, or at least let him be in command personally, otherwise even if he is really defeated in the end, the main responsibility does not belong to him! This must be determined in advance, and when the time comes, it is necessary to ensure that Gao Shishi will personally lead the troops.

Another example, how to "maximize the benefits" of this defeat - it has been analyzed before, even if Gao Pragmatic himself suffers a big defeat, he may not be in a slump. It is more likely that the emperor will miss the old days, and then give him a punishment that is not light or severe, and most likely let him "encourage him to serve".

This kind of disposition of the emperor is really a frequent outcome for the great nobles and favored ministers, and Gao Pragmatic is qualified enough to enjoy this treatment. Therefore, this wave of expected failures only broke the myth of Gao Shi's invincibility, and shook his irreplaceable position in the emperor's mind, but he was definitely not guilty to death, and he couldn't even talk about a comeback, just a little reflection and it was over.

So how to benefit the Mind School in this situation? This requires him Shen Shixing, the first assistant, to plan carefully, and when the Shixue School is in chaos because of the defeat of Gao Shixing, he will suddenly make a move on his side to obtain the greatest benefits for the Xinxue.

Obviously, this is not a simple matter, each of which is a plan in a plan, and a chain plan is composed of a plan in a plan. As the chief designer, he naturally had to be more careful, not only could not move blindly, but even completed the layout without leaking the wind.

Shen Shixing didn't react, and he didn't even ask the cabinet about the "platform call" a few days ago, and Gao Shixing slowly reassured. He secretly estimated that it may be because his uncle's departure was relatively sudden, and Shen Shixing took over in a hurry, and he may not be ready for a full-scale conflict. As far as Shen Shixing's temperament is concerned, since the outcome is unpredictable, it must be delayed and the probability of winning will be slowly accumulated.

Gao Shixing's idea is not unreasonable, because Shen Shixing does not fight unprepared battles, which can be seen from the fact that he did not personally interfere in Zhang Whale and Liu Shouyou's plans before, but let Yu Youding secretly manipulate them.

Of course, this is also in line with Shen Shixing's performance in the original history. In all kinds of history books, there is no distinction between the official history and the wild history, and almost all agree that Shen Shi Xing is the first rat at both ends and exquisite. Even Wang Shizhen, who has a good relationship with him, also used a more euphemistic statement in "The Biography of Shoufu", saying that he is "rich in savings, not close to the cliff, and not different".

Not close to the cliff, this statement is very subtle.

There is a saying that "a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall", so in traditional Confucianism, "not near the cliff" seems to be a very positive word. However, Wang Shizhen is the head of the seven sons after all, and he has dominated the literary world for 20 years, and his words obviously have deep meaning.

What is the meaning?

Although the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, it is only the usual way of survival of the gentleman, in fact, the gentleman should also have the courage to move forward "although tens of millions of people go to me".

The key to this lies in when a gentleman should "not approach the cliff", and when should he "go to the precipice despite thousands of people".

When? Where righteousness lies.

If it is just an ordinary time, then of course it should be "not close to the cliff", but if it is where the righteousness lies, the gentleman should "go to me despite thousands of people".

However, Wang Shizhen never mentioned that Shen Shixing had such a "open-minded" time. So in other words, Wang Shizhen actually secretly pointed out the huge shortcoming that Shen Shixing did not have extraordinary courage.

The reason why I had to make it clear secretly was because the relationship between the two sides was not bad, and it was not easy to say it clearly.

Because of these records and analysis in the original history, Gao Shixing did not care too much about Shen Shixing's "indifference", but thought that Shen Shixing did not want to intensify the contradiction so quickly.

Gao Pragmatic felt that although Shen Shixing's way was not the best, it was not bad. As long as he doesn't choose to change course, cancel the reforms promoted by the previous Shixue School, and turn back history, then he can still tolerate the existence of this Shen Yuanfu.

Anyway, his consistent attitude is clear: as long as you don't mess with me and don't block my reform, then basically I can endure other things.

Jokes, he can endure those nobles, and he can even think of ways to pull them to a righteous path suitable for them to "change their evil and return to righteousness", so what can he not bear with others. The premise is only those two: don't mess with me, don't get in my way.

Therefore, if Shen Shi can't do it, he won't bother to care. He has been busy with the formation of the Praetorian Guard recently, and although Qi Jiguang has not yet arrived, he has been exchanging letters with him. The two sides exchanged views on some ideas and precautions for the formation and training of the Praetorian Guard in the letter, and basically reached an agreement.

Oh, of course, Qi Jiguang still has to recruit troops in person, and this time he can't go to Yiwu, he has to recruit troops in Beidi - although the Praetorian Guard nominally allows the whole country to recruit troops, but from the perspective of ease of settling down and convenient command, it is still appropriate to be near Gyeonggi, or at most no more than Beizhili.

After another ten days, Qi Jiguang finally came.

Qi Jiguang is really not easy to come here. The 4,000 Qi family army first directly divided 3,000 to hand over to Qi Jin, and asked him to take him to Liaodong to take up his new post, and then he only brought 1,000 people to Beijing.

It's an interesting thing.

Although Gao Shishi's armed family in Beijing has been "controlled" by his efforts, it has always been as high as 3,000, and the attitude of the imperial court is completely indifferent to this. Even after so many years, the officials who even like to take care of have never expressed opposition to this, let alone impeachment.

But when he arrived at Qi Jiguang, he only brought a thousand soldiers and horses, and the team was still far away in Shunyi, so he decisively stopped, and solemnly "asked for instructions" to the military department - that is, "May I ask the military department, can I come to Beijing now?" ”

The differential treatment of civil ministers and military generals is undoubtedly revealed in this matter.

Gao Shi Shi has 3,000 armed family members in Beijing alone, and other kinds of family members, servants, employees, etc., adding up to at least tens of thousands of young people. If the scope is expanded, for example, if Kaiping, the most important "heavy industry base" in Jinghua, is included, then he Gao Gao may be able to pull out an army of 50,000 tomorrow as long as he gives an order.

However, the imperial court was completely blind to his power.

But once he arrived at Qi Jiguang, even if he only brought a thousand Qi family troops, with neither backup nor foundation, he still didn't dare to stop and ask for instructions, otherwise, it was estimated that he would not dare to move forward half a step further.

Except for the nobles of the Jing Yan Department, who were originally responsible for guarding Yanjing, any other military generals were treated the same when they arrived in Beijing, and no one dared to bring more than 500 Ding into Beijing. When Liu Xian brought Liu Wei to the Beijing Division for "activities", the reason why there were only so many people at hand was not because there were really so few people in his family, but because even if he had, he would not dare to bring the Beijing Division.

Are you here for an "event", or do you want to come to do a military admonition?

Although Qi Jiguang is a border town general who is extremely relied on by the imperial court, he is also closely watched on this issue, and he himself knows this, so he has such a move.

Not to mention, there are really a large number of people in the imperial court who are very sensitive to this, and they have said that it doesn't matter if Qi Jiguang himself comes to take office, but he should not bring troops to come, the reason is that "the ancestral system is like this". What makes Gao pragmatic and speechless is that most of these people are mainly neutral officials.

On the contrary, the Xin School led by Shen Shixing behaved relatively restrained at this time, and many of them said that Qi Jiguang could bring "five hundred people" into Beijing.

As for the practical school, let's not talk about it, under the influence of Gao Pragmatism, they now only hope that Qi Jiguang will come to take office as soon as possible, and quickly put up the shelves of the Praetorian Guard, and everything else is a trivial matter. A thousand Qi family troops are a thousand Qi family army, and if your Qi family army can fight again, can these thousand people still threaten the Beijing division? What's more, Qi Jiguang is not crazy, will he rebel against these thousand people?

The emperor didn't seem to have considered this situation before, and in the face of the various statements of the ministers, he was a little undecided.

Zhu Yijun didn't think that Qi Jiguang was any threat to bring a thousand people, but the opposition's opinion was no problem, this kind of ancestral system still had to be maintained, because its starting point itself was to maintain the stability of the imperial court.

In the end, Qi Jiguang was stuck in Shunyi County for three whole days, Gao Shishi couldn't stand it anymore, and took the initiative to ask for orders - he personally went to Shunyi, "led" the Qi family army over, and stationed in the Jingbei camp, which had just repaired a batch of temporary barracks.

The implication is that the Qi family army does not enter the Beijing Division, but directly lives in the Jingbei camp. This doesn't violate the ancestral system, right?

Zhu Yijun immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gao Pragmatic's sparseness. The nature of what Wenchen brought and what the military generals brought has changed - don't look at the Qi family army or the Qi family army, especially when Qi Jiguang himself is among them, there is not much difference between Gao Shishi and whether he goes, in fact, the difference here is big.

A difference in name will lead to different results.

In the eyes of the officials of the DPRK and China, Gao Shishi went to lead the Qi family army over as the assistant director of the left squire of the military department, Jingying Rongzheng, and there was no problem at all. He is not only "in charge", but also has outstanding military achievements, and the officials of the Beijing Division naively think that as long as Gao Shishi goes, this Qi family army will be stable.

It's really self-confidence, and Gao Pragmatic himself is not so inflated. When Qi Jiguang himself was alive, no civilian official could command the Qi family army after him. The reason is clear, you cross Liu Wei and you can't command the surrender of the Japanese Emperor!

With Ren Jiading, is this talking about fun? If it was so simple, why could Chongzhen only tolerate Wu Sangui, Zuo Liangyu and others infinitely?

The family only recognizes his own master, does he care if you are the emperor or not, and the emperor cares about him eating?

Zhu Yijun even said in Zhu Criticism, "Since Qing is an assistant to Rong Zheng, Gyeonggi military affairs will naturally act cheaply." Qi Jiguang and his family were also trained by the Praetorian Guards, and they were also supervised by Rong Zheng. ”

The controversy came to an end, and Gao Pragmatic did not delay much, and rushed to Shunyi County to pick up people with two hundred families.

When he rushed to Qi Jiguang's barracks in Shunyi County, Qi Jiguang, who had received the news, had already ordered the whole army to line up to greet him, and he himself stood at the front of the team.

Gao Pragmatic knew that Qi Jiguang would not be angry because he was hung for a few days, but it was difficult to determine whether there would be dissatisfaction within the Qi family's army. Therefore, as soon as he saw Qi Jiguang, he made a joke and said loudly: "Qi Shaobao, don't come to harm?" The main hall has come to the realm today to welcome Qi Shaobao. ”

Qi Jiguang didn't expect Gao Pragmatic to use such an opening statement, so he hurriedly took a few steps forward in surprise and said loudly: "Qi Mou, the little lackey of Muen's door, visited Shao Sima, please forgive the little armor on his body, and he can't give full courtesy." ”

Saying that, he still knelt down, but he was held up by Gao Shishi, who jumped off the horse first.

"Qi Shaobao is doing something, don't torture the students, hurry up and excuse yourself." Then he said to the officers and soldiers of the Qi family who knelt down with him behind Qi Jiguang: "All the soldiers are the same, all of them are exempt, please get up." ”

Having said that, the officers and soldiers of the Qi family still saw Qi Jiguang get up first, and then they got up.

"Jieying" is naturally a pragmatic polite remark, he and Qi Jiguang first exchanged the procedures for entering Beijing, and at the same time asked Qi Jiguang to order Qi Jiajun to prepare for the pull-out.

After a while, the Qi family's army moved, and Qi Jiguang really handed over all the command to Gao Pragmatic, and he led the troops forward, and he rode a horse to follow Gao Pragmatic's side.

Gao Pragmatic was not idle on the road, and while leading the team to the Jingbei camp, he asked Qi Jiguang: "Nantang Gong, this matter is now settled, but the matter I asked in the letter before ......"

"Is Young Sima asking about where to recruit troops?"

Gao pragmatic nodded and said, "That's right, this should be the most important thing at the moment." ”

Qi Jiguang replied: "The Praetorian Guard is divided into horses, infantry, artillery, engineering and other services, and at present, I plan to recruit the horse army in Bazhou, and the infantry army and engineers will be recruited in Cangzhou, but the artillery army has not yet been determined. ”
