Chapter 181: If you want to be an official, why do you hand in a blank paper?
The butt wiping paper came out of Liangchen's mouth, and at this moment, he looked very, very sincere.
Liangchen's heart is actually very sincere.
Speaking according to people's minds, he must be invincible, but he doesn't want to shoot Wanli's sycophants in order to soar. But in fact, he really appreciates Wanli.
At least, when Wanli was there, no matter how his policies were questioned and abused by foreign courts, Daming was safe and sound. The Three Great Campaigns not only effectively maintained national unity, but also dealt a heavy blow to Japan, so that Japan no longer dared to look west at China for the next 300 years. During the Wanli period, the commodity economy was highly developed, and humanistic ideas were also blooming, and it is never an exaggeration to say that it was a prosperous era.
How can such an emperor be a faint king?
Undoubtedly, in addition to "slacking off government", the most distressing thing in the Wanli period was Salhu, but even Salhu, this battle in Liaodong failed to make the Ming Dynasty greatly damaged.
As for Salhu, Liangchen had read a lot of books in his previous life, most of which explained that the army's strategic deployment was wrong. However, he did not believe that there was anything wrong with the deployment of this campaign.
Dividing the army into four routes, it seems that it is easy to be broken by the opponents, but in several important battles of the three major campaigns of Wanli, the Ming army adopted the strategy of attacking from multiple ways and encircling the enemy. Attacking the Jianzhou rebels is even more necessary, the reason is very simple, the Ming army is mainly firearms and infantry troops, and its mobility is not as good as that of the cavalry-based Jianzhou army.
If you only attack with a large army, in the vast land of Liaodong, it can be said that you will be defeated before the battle. The main force of Nurhachi was discovered, and the two armies fought, winning a victory that could not be annihilated, and could not expand the results of the battle. If it is defeated, it will be a global collapse.
If even the enemy can't be discovered, then this battlefield is doomed to failure. After all, the logistical food supply for the 100,000-strong army is extremely long and dangerous.
If the Ming army only marched along the way, Liangchen was sure that Nurhachi would never shout the slogan "Let you come as many ways as you want, I will only go all the way", and his corresponding policy should be "I will retreat when the enemy advances, and I will advance when the enemy retreats." The guerrilla tactics of "the enemy is stationed and we are harassed, and the enemy is tired and we fight", thus dragging the Ming army to a dead end.
Judging from the overall deployment of the campaign, a multi-way attack can effectively limit the mobility of Nurhachi's troops, and at the same time limit the activity area of Jianzhou's soldiers and horses, and force them to divide their troops. In fact, Nurhachi was also forced to divide his troops during the campaign and was in an extremely dangerous situation.
The defeat of the Ming army was defeated by intelligence and traitors. To be more precise, it was defeated under the noses of the people of Jianzhou.
After learning of the defeat of Sarhu, Wanli, who was already seriously ill, was not frightened, but decisively appointed Xiong Tingbi, who was dismissed for beating the dead with a stick, to serve as the economic strategy of Liaodong.
After Xiong Tingbi came out of the customs, he quickly boosted the morale of the army, repaired Liaoyang and Shenyang, and built a strong defensive line. After the Battle of Salhu, Houjin's advantage disappeared, and the initiative in the war was always controlled by the Ming army.
Xiong Tingbi's popularity in the court was very bad, and a large number of officials impeached him, but the notes of these impeachments were left in Wanli. This shows that Wanli is very clear about the strategic situation in Liaodong.
It's a pity that back then, he died.
If he hadn't died, history would have been rewritten.
The 60,000 army of Kang Mazi of the puppet Qing Dynasty was completely annihilated by the Mongolian Dzungaria, and the entire northwest was eroded, and everyone said that he was the Ming Jun.
The incompetent "perfect old man" beat tens of thousands of people in Jinchuan, killed and injured tens of thousands, and was still called Mingjun.
Wanli, this real Ming Jun, how did he become a faint king!
Throughout Wanli's life, although he has a slight flaw, he is not a flaw, and he deserves the title of Mingjun.
Liangchen felt a little ironic, maybe the reason why Wanli was called a faint monarch instead of a Ming monarch may be that he, the emperor, was really too good, too kind, too tolerant of the courtiers, and too much to give the officials freedom of speech, which made him a faint monarch.
As far as these officials of the Wanli Dynasty are concerned, if they are placed in the so-called prosperous era of the Pseudo-Qing Dynasty, it is light to kill the head, and it is normal to exterminate the clan.
A dead person will not scold the emperor for being a faint king.
Originally, Liangchen just wanted to wait quietly for the second uncle to make a career, and in the past ten years, he also worked hard to boost the second uncle, and never thought that there would be Wanli contact.
Now, Wanli is standing in front of him alive, which makes his thinking change.
His words can be said to be compliments or heartfelt words, but there are no lies, let alone deception.
………
Zheng Guifei is from a civilian background, of course she knows what butt wiping paper is, she laughed, the little guy's words are so rough.
Wanli didn't realize what it meant for a while, but when Concubine Zheng whispered to him, he also laughed.
Very relaxed smile, Wanli is also a human being, since he was born, everyone has been so serious and rigid when talking to him, even if Concubine Zheng can give him a different pleasure and ease, but it will not be as white as Wei Liangchen said.
Without money, life will be difficult.
It's a simple sentence, but it's the real truth.
Wanli wanted to get money precisely because he had no money. If he has money, where will he be infamous for "competing with the people for profit".
"Your Majesty, there is a good saying, if you have money to travel all over the world, you can't move an inch without money. Those who say that Your Majesty loves money, Your Majesty may wish to ask them if they love money. If someone says he doesn't love money, then Your Majesty will take his money. "What the good minister said was a half-truth.
"Even if I am the Son of Heaven, I can't take people's money at will." Wanli laughed, the more he looked at Wei Liangchen, the more he felt his temper, "You little guy seems to love money." ”
"In front of Your Majesty, the grass people don't dare to bully the king, I like money very much, I like it very much. A sage once said that the city is bustling, but there are only two people who come and go, one for fame and the other for profit. But in the eyes of the grass people, this fame and fortune is actually one person, the money. Liangchen paused for a moment and said with certainty: "Therefore, people live for money." Whether it's Your Majesty or the grass people, it's natural to like money, so you don't have to care what others think. Because those who say that His Majesty likes money, they themselves also like money. … Since childhood, my father told the grass people a truth, that is, if you want to be rich, you have to be an official. ”
Zheng Guifei smiled: "What is the truth of this? ”
"Niangniang, doesn't the book say that there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book? Studying is just to be an official and get that golden house? Liangchen said seriously.
"Crooked." Concubine Zheng couldn't help laughing, "Since you want to be an official and want to have a golden house, why do you hand over a blank scroll?" ”
