73. History has changed dramatically
Li Chengliang knew that he had hated the emperor, and now the backers behind him were suppressed by another faction, and he urgently needed a war to turn over the Liaodong family, otherwise, the Li family, who could not prove his worth and ability, would be questioned, and the civil officials who had damaged their interests would not talk about their past friendships, and the Liaodong army, which only looked at interests, would not care about these, and they would abandon the Li family at any time.

But right now, not only the emperor is very satisfied with Xiao Ruxun, but the military department is also persuaded by Xiao Ruxun, basically Xiao Ruxun as the main general of the Eastern Expedition can no longer be changed, the top priority is not how to clean up Xiao Ruxun, but how to operate Li Rusong to the Korean battlefield to make contributions and stabilize people's hearts!
The main general is out of play, then, the deputy general, at least one deputy general must be sought!
Li Chengliang calculated the gains and losses in his heart, and Li Rusong's face turned into a tomato again, he finally realized that he was played by Xiao Ruxun in person again, not only was he sold, but he was also stupidly counting the money for him, he seemed to be able to see the ugly face he hid behind Xiao Ruxun's sincere face.
Yellow-mouthed children! Ann dare to insult me!
Li Rusong's anger surged out like a volcanic eruption!
"Ahhh I'm going to kill Xiao Ruxun!! ”
Li Rusong pulled out his sword and was about to rush out of the door, Li Chengliang was startled, and quickly threw his cane, fortunately, Li Chengliang's sword was not old, and Li Rusong was directly smashed to the ground under a blow, and Li Rusong, who screamed in pain, came back to his senses and shouted angrily: "Dad!" What are you doing? I'm going to find Xiao Ruxun for revenge!! ”
Li Chengliang scolded: "You went to Xiao Ruxun today to take revenge!" Tomorrow you can go to the emperor for revenge! Your father and I will be killed by you! Forty years old! Forty years old! When you go to the battlefield so calmly, why can't you be honest at home?! This is Jingshi, not Liaodong! Not Shanxi! There's no room for you to be presumptuous here!! Let me go into your house and think about it for three days, and I will not be allowed to go out of the house without my permission!" ”
"Daddy!!"
"Get out!!"
Li Chengliang's majesty was insurmountable in Li Rusong's opinion, so he confessed to it.
Looking at the back of Li Rusong leaving in a panic, Li Chengliang sighed, and asked his subordinates to invite a few of his capable staff, he had to operate it well, although the main general was basically out of play, but the deputy general must get it, no matter what, let the Liaodong Department fight a turnaround battle in this battle, otherwise, he will definitely not be able to explain!
Zhu Yijun knew the results of the Ministry of War's questioning for the first time, and Luo Sigong's report made him very satisfied, especially Xiao Ruxun's tricking of Li Rusong in front of those officials of the Ministry of War made Zhu Yijun even more interesting, and when he heard that Li Rusong provoked Xiao Ruxun in front of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, and drew his sword against each other, the color of dissatisfaction overflowed his entire face.
"It's not the first time that Li Rusong has been so arrogant, but he was not in Beijing in the past, and Li Chengliang had to shrink his tail and be a man in Beijing, let alone Li Rusong? It can be seen how arrogant Li Rusong is in the locality! ”
Zhu Yijun looked at Luo Sigong dissatisfied: "In the future, tell me directly about this kind of thing related to the Li family, don't say it as an unnecessary thing, Li Chengliang, that daring man, dared to ignore me, and now even his son is in the capital to spread wild!" It's just unprecedented! ”
Zhu Yijun is not so broad-minded, Li Chengliang ignored his overtures and followed the civil officials, which made him very dissatisfied and felt that his dignity as an emperor was despised.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is one more thing about the Li family."
Luo Sigong weighed it and decided to talk about it.
Zhu Yijun frowned.
"Speak."
"Yes! Li Chengliang has been carrying out activities in the DPRK and China recently, and it seems that he is determined to send Li Rusong to the Korean battlefield, so he spared no expense in giving a generous amount of money to several officials of the Ministry of War to help them speak. ”
Zhu Yijun snorted coldly.
"Humph! He has just been knocked down, the dragons of Liaodong have no leader, and they are choked enough by Hao Jie and Song Yingchang, and the DPRK and the DPRK put pressure on him together, of course he has to fight a turnaround battle! If he can't fight, let his son fight, if his son can't fight, his Li family's foundation in Liaodong will be shaken, how can Li Chengliang be willing? ”
"Then Your Majesty, what do you need your ministers to do?"
"Keep an eye on the Li family, and write a list of ministers who have dealings with Li Chengliang and submit it to me."
Luo Sigong nodded and promised: "Obey the order!" ”
After Luo Sigong left, Zhu Yijun calculated the time it would take for the garrisons to hurry, and felt that the time was almost up, so he called Zhang Cheng beside him: "Zhang Cheng, the draft decree will be sent to the cabinet and the six ministries." ”
Countless people want to take advantage of this war, and Zhu Yijun is naturally no exception, he wants to use this war to support his own cronies, grasp the right to speak in the army, and also enhance his actual power, and more drastic power seizures are brewing in his chest.
Those who stole power and money from the emperors of the Ming Dynasty under the banner of the ancestral system, he will clean them all up! Zhang Juzheng is just the beginning!
You guys...... But don't really think I'm a fool.
This is where history begins to change dramatically.
On the third day of the ninth month of the twentieth year of Wanli, the power of the main battle faction in the court completely overwhelmed the strength of the main and faction, and Zhu Yijun, the emperor of Wanli, issued an official edict to the cabinet and the six ministries, clarifying his opinions.
Japan's invasion of Korea, in fact, to protect the Ming Dynasty, to protect Korea is to protect China, the Japanese provoked the Ming Dynasty's national prestige, I could not bear it, and the cabinet and the six ministries drafted a declaration of war edict, informing the Korean Ming Dynasty that it was about to send troops to fight in Korea, and ordered it to prepare the grain, grass, and bean fodder used by the army.
According to the previous routine, Shi Xing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, immediately responded to the edict and played the "corresponding strategy" of the Ministry of War that had been studied long ago, as well as the number of troops and the candidates for the command class.
Among them, Song Yingchang, the general manager of the preparation of the war, with the title of the right attendant of the military department, hung the "military affairs of the sea defense of the sea and the imperial Japanese in Jiliao, Shandong, Baoding and other places", and was the same as the governor, and was the commander of the war in the DPRK.
With Xiao Ruxun, the chief military officer of Ningxia and Pingyubo, as the "chief military officer of the Admiral Jiliao, Baoding, Shandong and other places to defend the sea and the imperial Japanese", and was the main general of the Eastern Expedition to Korea, Xiao Ruxun also took the opportunity to gather a group of his old troops in Ningxia, and Zhao Hu, Wang Hui and Chen Xie were on the list.
Liu Huangshang, a member of the military department, and Yuan Huang, the director of the military department, were praised in the army, and assisted the commander Song Yingchang.
With 5,000 Ningxia firearms battalions, 10,000 Xuanda crossbowmen, 10,000 Shandong spearmen, 5,000 Zhejiang gunners, and 10,000 Zhejiang sword and shield men, a total of more than 40,000 soldiers and horses formed the army of the Eastern Expedition to Korea.
In addition, Liu Wei, the general of the three battalions of the five armies, wrote to Sichuan soldiers with 5,000 soldiers to ask for battle, the emperor praised it, and there was Shanxi general Li Rusong to ask for battle with 5,000 cavalry from Liaodong, the emperor thought it was impossible, and ordered the troops and horses of Liaodong to strictly guard the garrison, in case the Mongolian departments took advantage of the emptiness of Liaodong to attack Liaodong, and ordered to recruit Tong Nuer Hachi, the leader of the Jianzhou Wei Jurchen Department, to assemble 5,000 Jurchen cavalry to prepare for battle as the deputy chief soldier of Liaodong, and after the victory, he was allowed to hold the rank of general of Longhu.
Li Rusong was shocked when he heard the news, and repeatedly wrote to cry blood and ask for battle, please avenge the revenge of a thousand loyal souls in Pyongyang, and the emperor promised him to be loyal and brave, so he allowed Li Rusong to lead 5,000 cavalry of Tong Nuer Hachi to enter the court to cooperate in the battle as the general soldier.
The edict was sent to Korea, and the DPRK was shocked, and hurriedly sent an envoy to ask the Ming not to let the Jurchen cavalry enter the battle, which was rejected by the emperor, and the emperor was deeply responsible, and the Korean princes and ministers were afraid to speak.
The Great Tomorrow Army re-entered the DPRK, and it was irreversible.
