Chapter 115: Nanjing Decision III

I have to say that Song Taizu made a very bad start for future generations. Whenever the emperor trusts a general, the civil official can immediately cite this example, showing that no matter how loyal he is to you, since he has become the leader of the army, he has the gene of rebellion.

Even if he didn't want to betray, the soldiers under his command would give him a yellow robe.

This sentence also made Luo Yulong speechless.

"Qian Gong, what do you want to say?" Luo Yulong said.

Qian Qianyi said: "With the national dynasty system, when the internal and external balance, Your Majesty holds 300,000 forbidden troops sitting on the Yangtze River line, balancing the foreign domain, and then Zheng Guogong went south to Hunan with tens of thousands of troops, along the way to recruit and rebel, the ministers counted carefully, there are generals who can fight, Zhang Xianbi, Huang Chaoxuan, Gao Yigong, Ma Guangyu, Liu Tichun, this is still a well-known general, from Yueyang to Changsha, three army breakers, three army descendants, ministers view Hunan documents, at this moment Zheng Guogong under the command of the soldiers, when there are 150,000 people, plus he is in Xiangyang, Xijing, widely connected, With a wave of arms, half of the country is no longer owned by the imperial court. ”

"What does Qian Gong mean?" Luo Yulong's eyes narrowed slightly, and a killing intent brewed in his heart.

This killing intent was not towards Zhang Xuan, but towards Qian Qianyi.

Didn't Luo Yulong know that Zhang Xuan's power was great? He knew it, even acquiesced.

Since ascending to the throne, although it has not been a long time, Luo Yulong has changed in many places. For example, he knew that there was large-scale tax evasion in the Jiangnan world, and even Qian Gong in front of him was one of them, and he knew that generals at all levels, except for Zhang Xuan, more or less violated laws and disciplines, such as Zhang Yingyuan's big belly.

He was also aware of Gao Jie's private trade dealings with the Qing court. He knew that Zheng Zhilong was wholeheartedly making money with the authority of the Great Xia court, and the Zheng family could be described as rich and rivaling the country. Richer than his treasury.

What is called, not deaf, not dumb, not a family.

He knew that Zhang Xuan's power was expanding rapidly, but so what, such power was not in Zhang Xuan's hands, in whose hands, at least Zhang Xuan was still the son-in-law of the Luo family. The man in front of him is loyal, and when he digs the corners of the country, he is not a little soft.

Zhang Xuan is of course in power, but he does things in power, and he will not betray Great Xia, but if he puts this power in the hands of others, can he feel at ease?

There are priorities, and Luo Yulong understands very well that the current strategic form of Great Xia and Dongyu is actually very unstable. At least after the external situation stabilizes, it is not too late to clean up the things in front of us one by one.

"However, if Qian Qianyi looks for death by himself." Luo Yulong secretly said in his heart: "Don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

Now the great cause of the imperial court is based on Pingnan, and anything that hinders Pingnan cannot be allowed by Luo Yulong.

"Zheng Guogong will definitely not betray the imperial court, but there are some things that must be done in front, Zheng Guogong is not asking Gao Yigong to be the general of the expedition to the west, and the ministers are asking Cao Zongyu to be the general, and the southern expeditionary army will be subordinate to the names of the generals, and Zheng Guogong will take charge of it." Qian Qianyi said: "This is the original intention of Zheng Guo's public system. ”

Luo Yulong's heart moved slightly, and he secretly said in his heart: "That's true." ”

He groaned for a while.

This plan still seems to be Zhang Xuan's commander-in-chief to conquer the Southern Army, which does not damage Zhang Xuan's prestige, but in fact, the actual military power of the Southern Army is on a few generals.

Among Zhang Xuan's generals, many people are related to the Luo family, such as Luo Dai, Deng He, and Cao Zongyu, all of whom came out of the Cao camp. Can be trusted.

Once this is the case, according to the system established by Zhang Xuan, these generals who have the rank of general and independently lead the troops are all registered in the Privy Council, and in many cases, Zhang Xuan cannot deal with it alone, and it is impossible to say that he has violated military law and will be cut with a knife.

No, you must return to Beijing and the Privy Council will decide.

In other words, he was originally a general of Zhang Xuan's subordinates, and he was in a semi-independent state.

Of course, Luo Yulong also knew that these people were all pulled by Zhang Xuan, and they were Zhang Xuan's ironcore, so it might not be useful to do so. A system is a system, reality is a reality, and there are still differences.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Guogong is a confidant of His Majesty, he will definitely be able to understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts, if he can't do it to Zheng Guogong today, how can he balance other generals in the future, please think twice." Qian Qianyi said.

"Okay." Luo Yulong said: "Just Yi Aiqing." ”

The mouth of the literati has always been impossible to refuse.

However, Luo Yulong was also worried that Zhang Xuan would resist, so he wrote a private letter to Zhang Xuan to explain one or two.

A few days later, Zhang Xuan pinched the letter, and after reading it, he sighed slightly in his heart, to be honest, Luo Yulong did this, although he was a little uncomfortable, but he didn't have any intention of resisting. This is even in line with Zhang Xuan's original intention.

In Zhang Xuan's view, the most important lesson of the Ming Dynasty is that the imperial court cannot control the army, such as Zuo Liangyu, He Renlong, Zu Dashou, Wu Sangui and others, sitting on large soldiers, the imperial court cannot control it, which is a major factor in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the new dynasty must learn a lesson.

The imperial court must be able to control the army, and the Lile expedition is from the Son of Heaven and from the imperial court, which is the right way to be glorious.

As an important minister of Great Xia, Zhang Xuan's own interests have long been linked to the interests of the imperial court. Even though this made Zhang Xuan a little inconvenient, he firmly supported it. What made him unhappy was Qian Qianyi's deep involvement.

Whether it was that the water in his previous life was too cold, or now Zhang Xuan used a knife to force him to lower in summer.

Anyway, Zhang Xuan's impression of Qian Qianyi was not good, and he also believed that Qian Qianyi's impression of himself as a martial artist was not good.

They have never been friendly with each other, how can Zhang Xuan be happy in the face of the increasing power of the civilian clique represented by Qian Qianyi in the center of Great Xia.

"Wait until the southern crusade is over." Zhang Xuan secretly said in his heart: "I will definitely go back to the Privy Council to sit in charge, and when the time comes, I will have to fight with Qian Qianyi." ”

Zhang Xuan seemed to smell another battlefield call.

Zhang Xuan, as the head of the Great Xia military generals and one of the top figures of the nobles, is naturally a big man who is opposed to civil officials. Zhang Xuan wanted the Great Xia court to operate according to his own ideas, so he inevitably fought with the civil official group that represented the tradition, whether it was political opinions, but personal enmity, and both sides could not be good.

"Emperor Daxia said." A little eunuch stood on the high platform and said in a sharp male duck voice: "General Quan Zhengnan, deputy envoy of the Privy Council, military affairs of the seven provinces of the governor, Zheng Guogong Zhang Xuan, since the southern expedition, first break the Ming army in Dongting Lake, then break the Ming army and the Miluo River, three break the Ming army in the Gaoqiang River, four break the Ming army in the south of Changsha City, and five break Changsha City. Forcing the puppet emperor ** is a great achievement. Special Jin Zhengnan general, with the Privy Council. The seven provinces of the governor are as old as ever. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Xuan came out of the line and saluted and said.

After Zhang Xuan saluted, he stood on one side.

The little eunuch represented Luo Yulong at the moment, and even Zhang Xuan had to avoid it.

"Cao Zongyu, the commander of the Nanyang Army, broke the city from the general, fought the high wall, and the battle of Changsha, and made the Marquis of Yueyang. General Pingnan. ”

"Deng He, the commander of the Runing Army, broke the city from the general, did not fight with the battle, attacked the heights, sealed the Marquis of Miluo, and leveled the barbarian general."

"Wang Jincai, the commander of the Ningbo Army, broke the city from the general, broke the Lingji, broke the Miluo River, broke the Changsha City, and sealed the Marquis of Gaoyang. Conquering the Barbarian General"

"The cavalry commander Luo Dai, the partial division out of the Miluo River, broke He Tengjiao, conquered Changsha, and repeatedly broke the thieves. Feng Xiao rode the marquis. General Fuyi. ”

"The Jinhua army commanded Xu Du, set the policy first, broke the army later, first broke the city of Lingji, and then fought under the city of Changsha, and sealed the Marquis of Nantang. General of the Levy Wai. ”

"The commander of the naval army, General Zhou Fuchen, the two Ming army water divisions, have meritorious service in responding to logistics, and they are specially named Fubo Hou, and the commander of the Yangtze River Water Division."

"Dashun mighty general, General Quan, Linqu male high merit, led the army to vote, its intention is very sincere, specially named Linyi Marquis. General Zhengxi. ”

A series of rewards went on, and generals at all levels were smiling.

Although among the titles of Great Xia, they are generally descended to succession. It can only be hereditary unless it is chartered. But even so, these people have changed their ways. From now on, he has become one of the upstarts of Great Xia. Even many people count the eighteen generations of their ancestors, and it is estimated that there are no such big officials.

For a while, I couldn't help but rejoice and go crazy. I didn't think of the intrigue behind this reward at all.

Of course, some people's joys are different.
