Chapter 673: The Wrath of the Great Power
When the east of Lianghuai Mountain was surging, the factional struggle in the Ming court in the south also initially appeared, but when it was about to develop more and more intensely, it suddenly made a big turn.
The whole court quieted down because Wang Yan resigned from the position of the center and invited himself to the local governor, perhaps because everyone was not sure about the impact of this matter and did not understand Wang Yan's intentions, so they did not dare to act rashly, and wanted to wait and see what happened first.
Wang Yan has rarely been in the court recently, and spends most of his time in the palace planning with his staff how to replace the imperial court system with the shogunate.
Wang Yan was more inclined to the Song system, but was opposed by Wang Fuzhi, Gu Yanwu and others, the Song system did solve many problems in China, but after all, it is very old, and the key to any system is not the system itself, but in the people, no matter how good the system, people will not play, it is in vain.
The Ming system has been implemented for a long time, and the upper and lower bureaucrats are very familiar with it, and the Ming emperor is usually not diligent and often ignores government affairs, and the entire imperial court can still maintain normal operation, which shows that the Ming system can be separated from the imperial power and can be changed on it.
At this time, the world was undecided, and the time for great changes was not yet ripe, so Wang Fuzhi and others suggested that Wang Yan should not make too many changes and not delegate too much power.
After discussion, the shogunate's system was changed in the future, but Wang Yan decided to restore the right to seal and perform in the middle of the matter first to show his political philosophy.
At this time, Wang Yan's recital was approved, and his policy began to fully shift to the southwest, first to lay a solid foundation for himself, and the next cloth was to increase the rank of general, which was abolished since Xu Da, and now the emperor will definitely not allow it, but he must take this title in the future.
Time in a blink of an eye to the end of December, he wants to withdraw from the imperial court, it is not so simple, it is not easy to control the southwest, the Ming Dynasty is an old empire of more than 270 years, and he has only been in the officialdom for more than four years, the army is fine, but in the civil system he can only temporarily master some key points, there are still a large number of talents selected by the imperial court through the imperial examination, not from his royal family.
This is also the reason why Wang Fuzhi and Gu Yanwu said that he was big enough, but he had no foundation.
In the Hengyang Palace, Wang Yan and a group of staff members were discussing for days, and Chen Bangyan asked: "Your Highness, Your Majesty's excerpt has been approved, and the affairs of the Shogunate have been decided as soon as possible, I don't know when Your Highness is going to Wuchang?"
After all, personal energy is limited, Wang Yan has been a little dizzy recently, and when he saw Chen Bangyan asking, he thought about it and asked, "Do you think it is more appropriate for Lone to leave Xingzai?" ”
Gu Yanwu stood up and saluted, "Your Highness, I think that before taking advantage of the peace meeting of the imperial court, I will go back to Wuchang first." In this way, His Highness can hold the power of the southwest in his hands in the name of preparing for war. ”
Chen Bangyan nodded, and then sighed dissatisfiedly, "Jianyi peace discussion, obviously just wants to use this to open up the fortune and delay time, how can Your Majesty believe it so easily?" ”
Gu Yanwu shook his head, "The ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee may not be fully convinced, but for Your Majesty and the eunuchs, even if there is only one chance of this matter, you can give it a try." If it succeeds, it will be a great achievement, and if it is not successful, there is no loss for the eunuchs, they are only for the selfish interests of one surname. Now that the danger of the imperial court is gradually disappearing, for them, even if it is a plan, it is just a matter of more soldiers dying in the battle, and we will just spend more effort. This is the difference between the family world and the public world, and it is also the reason why we follow His Highness. ”
After hearing this, Chen Bangyan and the others pondered slightly, and Wang Yan said: "In this case, the Lone Club will set off in the near future, and you must also prepare to go together. ”
Many of the aides nodded in agreement.
At this time, a palace guard suddenly came from outside the hall, "Your Highness, the celebrant has come to ask to see you." ”
"It will be for the sake of peace." Wang Yan sneered, and then said to the guards: "Bring it in!" ”
The guards were ordered, bowed and retreated, and soon came in with a small eunuch.
Wang Yanwei is famous, the eunuch party is not strong in the court, and the eunuchs naturally can't stand up, the little eunuch saluted very respectfully: "Little eunuch, see Your Highness!" ”
"Little father-in-law, what's the matter?" Wang Yan raised his hand and said.
The little eunuch hurriedly said: "The prime minister asked the little eunuch to ask His Royal Highness to go to the Ministry of Rites to discuss the matter of peace. ”
Feng Cheng offered excellent conditions, but he clung to the fact that the Ming army's sailors must withdraw from the Yangtze River first and did not let go, and Wang Yan has not cooperated, and Pang Tianshou, who presided over the peace meeting, was extremely annoyed, but he had no choice but to keep inviting Wang Yan.
Wang Yan felt that Pang Tianshou had been confused by Feng Quan's conditions, but this Feng Heng and the Manchu Qing were really shameless.
This peace negotiation is not uncommon in Chinese history, but it has never been so unscrupulous to deceive people, once it is reached, if you want to break the contract, it will be a huge loss to the image of the whole country, so you must find a suitable excuse, otherwise the whole country will have no integrity and will not be able to win the trust of the surrounding areas.
However, the Manchu Qing obviously didn't care, and it was also a loss that the East was strong in the Ming and Qing dynasties at this time, so he didn't talk about it, but this kind of gene was planted, and it was also one of the triggers for the Second Opium War in another history.
Wang Yan listened to the eunuch's words, then waved his hand and said: "Gu still has a big matter to discuss with the deployment today, and my father-in-law will tell Minister Pang Nei to let the Ministry of Rites discuss first, and Gu will pass another day." ”
The little eunuch was anxious when he heard this, and he was still discussing, everything was all in order, and you couldn't get over it.
Wang Yan didn't go, and the little eunuch naturally didn't dare to pull it stiffly, but if he went back like this, the old ancestor was not easy to explain, so he hurriedly said: "Your Highness doesn't go to the Ministry of Rites, can you tell the sailor when to withdraw the troops?" ”
When Wang Yan heard this, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, and the little eunuch immediately felt a pang in his heart, knowing his identity, he was not qualified to ask King Hengyang, so he immediately lowered his head.
Just as he lowered his head, Yu Taichu hurriedly came to the outside of the hall, and then hurriedly came in, and there was a whisper in Wang Yan's ear in the corridor, and Wang Yan's face slowly sank.
After Yu Taichu finished speaking, he stood aside, Wang Yan was silent for a while, and there were bursts of anger on his face, and after half a sound, he said to the little eunuch: "You step back first, and after Gu and the subordinates are discussed, I will give Pang Neixiang an answer in the near future." ”
With such a guarantee, the little eunuch San can have an explanation, and he hurriedly saluted and retired.
After the little eunuch left, Chen Bangyan saw Wang Yan's attitude change and his face was angry, and he couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, I don't know what happened?" ”
Wang Yan groaned for a while and said, "Hong Chengchou has already opened up the Cao Yun. ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, the three sailors worked together to cut off the Yangtze River, and the Manchu Qing sailors in Jiangnan were not opponents at all, how could Hong Chengchou break through the blockade?
Wang Yan saw that everyone was suspicious, so he asked Yu Taichu to tell the information: "Zheng Guo's surname received a secret order to retreat from the Yangtze River to Fujian, and the strength of the naval division to blockade the Yangtze River weakened, and Heyi colluded with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Hong Chengchou purchased 100 heavy artillery, which could shoot six miles and cover the river, and the naval division was threatened by artillery, Lu Jianguo retreated to Zhoushan, and the Manchu general also took advantage of the wind to break through the shore artillery blockade, and returned to Huguang in the west, and the Manchu Cao Yun has been through. ”
Theoretically speaking, Wang Yan is the minister of war, and the transfer of the Ming army must go through him, which is also the reason why Pang Tianshou wants to negotiate with him, and cannot directly order the retreat of the water division, but the imperial society has a higher existence than the official government, Zheng Chenggong is not a subordinate of Wang Yan, and it is not like Man Dazhuang to return to his control, and he received a secret decree to choose the imperial order between the military order and the imperial order, which is also in line with the regulations of the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Yan's words, the information is a bit big, but everyone quickly grasped the point, Hong Chengchou was able to get through Caoyun, Zheng Chenggong withdrew first is not the main reason, the key is to buy a hundred heavy artillery with a very long range from Heyi.
After all, the naval warship is wood, and if it is shot, it will sink and capsize, and it will not have an advantage in the fight against shore artillery.
Originally, the naval division used the Manchu River to prevent erosion, and the artillery of each battery was insufficient and the firing range was limited, so it could sweep the Manchu batteries along the river, but Hong Chengchou prepared a hundred heavy artillery pieces to be used in a centralized manner, so the situation was different.
After hearing this, Chen Bangyan couldn't help but be furious: "Your Highness, just Heyi, you dare to meddle in Chinese affairs, this matter must not be tolerated." ”
Wang Yan was also very annoyed in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "The anger of a great country is a million corpses. This Heyi has repeatedly provoked, and he has repeatedly endured it, thinking that this dynasty is weak and can be bullied, and he has colluded with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this matter is indeed intolerable, and it must be let know the anger of China. ”
