Chapter 18 Each has a ghost

Lu Jianguo took advantage of the situation and nodded: "What Zhang Shangshu said is extremely true, and this matter will be discussed later." ”

Zhang Huang was in a hurry, and took two steps forward and said: "Prison country, there are no rules, there is no square circle...... ”

was dragged by Zhang Guowei, "In the matter of Zhang Qi, as a speech official, he can indeed hear the wind and play, but at this time, unlike in the past, the ministers must work together to achieve great things." The prison state has already made up its mind, and it is no longer possible to talk about right and wrong. ”

Zhang Huangyan threw up his sleeves angrily and returned to the train.

At this time, the guards came to report, "Liao Zhongping, deputy of the Thousand Households Office, said that there is an urgent military situation." ”

The ministers are all discolored, and the emergency military situation reported by thousands of households will be checked, could it be that the Qing army attacked from a defenseless place?

Lu Jianguo also became nervous and looked at Zhang Guowei.

Zhang Guowei looked at the faces of the ministers in the room, and sighed slightly: "Prison country, let people come in and talk about it." ”

Only then did Lu Jianguo raise his voice and say, "Pass." ”

Liao Zhongping ran quickly and entered the lobby.

"Wechen see the prison country."

"What is the military situation, according to the truth."

Liao Zhongping then recounted what happened at the dock one by one.

Liao Zhongping is not a treacherous person, and he did not play right and wrong behind his back because of Wu Zheng's confrontation.

However, he did not speak well for Wu Zheng and the 1,800 soldiers and civilians.

If Wu Zheng was present at this time, he could only evaluate four words - tell the truth.

But the faces of many people in the hall changed.

Especially Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren.

The two glanced at each other, and Fang Guoan suddenly stepped forward and said: "The eunuch country, although he is a mere sentinel and a general of the defeated army, after all, he still knows that he will not live up to the court and the Ming Dynasty, and the minister thinks that there is no need to punish the crime, and the reward will be exempted, even if the merit is offset." After retiring from the court, the minister will admonish this person well, so that he can serve the court well in the future and be loyal to the court. ”

Before Fang Guoan's words fell, Wang Zhiren snorted lightly, and immediately stepped forward and said: "The minister just heard that Wu Zheng took dozens of boats from Jinshanwei Wharf and crossed the sea and returned. The governor of the minister, the Ming sailor, thought that the supervisor could promote him to the deputy thousand households, and put Wu Zheng and his subordinates under the command of the minister, first, to strengthen the strength of the imperial court's sailors, and secondly, to reward Wu Zheng and his soldiers for killing more than 100 people in the Qing army, so as to show that the court rewards and punishments are clear. ”

Fang Guoan was furious, turned his head and glared at Wang Zhiren and said, "Lord Wang, are you trying to rob people with me?" ”

Wang Zhiren snorted coldly: "Lord Fang, Wu Zheng is under the command of the Jiading General Army, and the Jiading General Army belongs to the Hongguang Dynasty, and now the Hongguang Dynasty is dead, I don't know where the word Lord Fang came from?" ”

Fang Guoan was stunned for a long time, and suddenly said: "The general army of Kejiading is subordinate to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and Fang is the general of Zhennan. ”

Wang Zhiren said: "What Lord Fang said is reasonable, but it is true that Wu Zheng belongs to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, but the soldiers under his command are subordinate to the Jinshan Wei Thousand Households, according to Lord Fang, the soldiers of this guard should naturally belong to Wang." ”

Everyone was stunned, including Lu Jianguo.

The two of them are the princes of the dynasty, it is not an exaggeration to say that there is no more powerful person in the small court of Shaoxing Mansion than these two, and even Lu Jianguo has to let these two people score three.

Now in front of the civil and military ministers, is it interesting to fight for a small sentinel?

But among the ministers, there are really a few who understand.

For example, Zhang Guowei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, just didn't want to talk because he really felt tired.

He was the secretary of the military department of the Chongzhen Dynasty, and saw the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the establishment of the Hongguang Dynasty. Seeing the fall of the Hongguang Dynasty again, King Lu was in charge of the country, and he felt really tired.

Looking at the intrigue in the small court, it was not that he didn't want to prosper the Ming Dynasty, but that he couldn't do it.

After the death of the Ming Dynasty, he proposed to raise troops against the Qing Dynasty with Gongsheng Dong Zhining, Wang Jiaqin, Zhang Mengxi, etc., and then asked Zhang Huangyan and others to invite Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, to Shaoxing to supervise the country.

Although he is a civil servant, he also understands military affairs.

Nowadays, in eastern Zhejiang, there are too few people who have really fought with the Tartars and have not died.

But now, there are more than 100 living soldiers in front of him, all of whom have fought face-to-face with the Qing army.

With this group of people will be the backbone, and an army will be formed, what will it be like?

With such an army under his command, what kind of glory and reputation can he get as an official?

Go without saying.

Qian Sule has led soldiers, and he understands the difference between this kind of veteran and the temporary conscription of the rebels.

Therefore, when Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren were arguing, he desperately glanced at the envoy of Lu Jianguo.

Zhu Yihai still knows what Qian Sule means.

Qian Sule, Zhang Huangyan and others have the merit of supporting it, if the court wants to choose a person trusted by Zhu Yihai, if Qian Sule is not the only one, it is the first.

It's just that Zhu Yihai doesn't think that a mere sentry officer and more than 100 defeated soldiers are of much use.

There were 30,000 people under Fang Guoan, and 10,000 and 8,000 sailors under Wang Zhiren.

With more than 100 people, Zhu Yihai's interest really can't be mentioned.

But there is one thing, Zhu Yihai is very clear.

As a member of the royal family, especially now that he is in the position of superintendent, Zhu Yihai knows better.

That's balance.

For the sake of the above, the most important thing to do is balance.

It has nothing to do with right or wrong, loyalty and treachery, only about the balance of power.

The power of Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren was too great, and it was already difficult for the Chinese courtiers to suppress these two.

Zhu Yihai had clearly felt the challenge of Fang and Wang's strength to his authority.

Therefore, Zhu Yihai needs to find an opportunity to suppress Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren and warn them.

This warning is actually very simple, that is, I am against what you agree with, and I agree with what you oppose.

Since you all want it, then I won't give it.

Although Zhu Yihai is not optimistic about Wu Zheng, Wu Zheng is the best tool to warn Fang and Wang at this time.

So, Zhu Yihai looked at Qian Sule and bowed slightly.

Qian Sule, who received Zhu Yihai's signal, immediately came out and said: "Your Royal Highness, the minister thinks that Wu Zheng killed the Tartars and led thousands of soldiers and civilians to the south, in order to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and serve our dynasty." Therefore, the ministers thought that the court must be generous and favorable, so that the people of the world will be grateful for His Royal Highness's generosity, and will follow suit and come to vote. I beg your Highness to think twice. ”

As soon as these words came out, Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren immediately stopped arguing, looked at each other, and in an instant, the two sides reached cooperation.

Fang Guoan said: "Qian Yushi's words are wrong, just a sentinel, that is not enough to affect the hearts of the people in the world." Besides, Wu Zheng and his subordinates were reused under the command of Bengong and Xingguo, which also showed the court's kindness to the army and the people. In this way, this duke will not fight with the Xingguo Gong, Wu will belong to me, and the soldiers and ships under his command will belong to the Xingguo Gongshui Division. Xingguo Gong, what do you think? ”

Wang Zhiren stepped forward and said, "Great goodness." Your Royal Highness, the minister thought that Yue Guogong's suggestion was very good. ”

Seeing that the two of them sang and harmonized, Zhu Yihai scolded three times in his stomach, "Little girl." ”
