Chapter 1204 Interests are paramount
(Drifting through Europe became the first elder of the book, thank you.) Thanks to the dream book people for voting for their valuable monthly tickets, and thanks to the reward of the demon thief group who chose to take the middle route and the demon thief group, Xie Lu is grateful. )
When Jierharang arrived in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the news could not be completely kept secret, and some civil and military ministers in the court knew about it, which was also because after Jierharang came to the capital, he went to meet Concubine Zhuang and Fulin.
There was immediately a controversy in the court, although the atmosphere in the capital was still depressing, Jinyiwei and Dongchang were eyeing each other, and they still wanted to arrest an official who seemed to have contact with Su Tiancheng, but it was involved in such a big matter, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs naturally had a discussion, and Zhu Youzhen, who had been closely observing the movements, saw that the news had leaked out, and simply picked out this matter in the early dynasty, Zhu Youzhen's point of view was very realistic, and the Jin Tartars surrendered to the court, just because of Su Tiancheng's rebellion, Therefore, there was no time to restore the setting of the Jianzhou Guard, from this level, the Houjin has returned to the Ming Dynasty, and now the biggest threat to the court is Su Tiancheng, as well as the so-called Great Jin Court.
Chen Xinjia also introduced the relevant situation of contact with the Houjin Tartars in the early dynasty, and the Houjin Tartars obeyed the leadership of the imperial court, fought with the Jiangning camp according to the arrangement of the imperial court, and cooperated with the imperial court to exterminate the Jiangning battalion.
After the matter was said, the discussion quickly disappeared, everyone knew the courage of the Jiangning battalion, since the Houjin Tartars were willing to take the initiative to deal with the Jiangning Battalion and fight with the Jiangning Battalion, this is a good thing, although the Houjin Tartars are also the opponents that the court is most worried about, but between the two opponents, it is the imperial court that can catch and fight each other, and get the greatest benefits.
Among all the ministers of civil and military affairs, the only one who has a different view is Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet. Zhou Yanru was not optimistic about the alliance with the Houjin Tartars, but he couldn't come up with a way to deal with the Jiangning Battalion, so he could only silently watch the establishment of this kind of alliance with a weak foundation.
The qualitative change appeared in the imperial court, and received information that Su Tiancheng personally led the army to conquer Beizhili.
Zhu Youzhen knows very well that the Great Jin Dynasty relies on Su Tiancheng, and Su Tiancheng is the absolute core of the Great Jin Dynasty. This is very different from the Ming Dynasty, including the Houjin, to put it mildly, Zhu Youzhen and Huang Taiji both died at the same time, the Ming Dynasty and the Houjin still have to continue, they have a mature system, with a legitimate heir, but Su Tiancheng's situation is different, there is no clear heir. And it is only the unification of the south, many civil and military ministers who joined the Great Jin Dynasty mainly surrendered to Su Tiancheng, and to put it mildly, the Great Jin Dynasty established by Su Tiancheng has some similarities with the regime of Liukou.
Therefore, Zhu Youzhen believed that as long as Su Tiancheng could be killed, the Great Jin Dynasty would be wiped out. If the imperial court can recover the south, especially Shandong. It will be a huge wealth that will be gathered, and it will not be very difficult to exterminate the Houjin Tartar when the time comes.
After having such an understanding, Zhu Youzhen began to think about how to put Su Tiancheng to death, you must know that the Jiangning camp is extremely brave. Since Su Tiancheng ascended the throne and became the emperor, the defense measures must be very tight, relying only on the Ming army, I am afraid that it will not be able to achieve the goal, and the Ming army can barely resist the attack of the Jiangning battalion. It's pretty good.
At this time, Zierharang brought news that the Manchu Eight Banners of Houjin were willing to fight jointly with the Ming army and fight with the Jiangning battalion in Beizhili, and the target was also aimed at Su Tiancheng.
After receiving Chen Xinjia's report, Zhu Youzhen was not particularly happy, he knew very well that this idea was thought out by Huang Taiji, he could grasp the key points, and he could accurately predict the situation.
Zhu Youzhen appeared very cautious this time, and immediately summoned all the cabinet ministers to come to the discussion, and Zhu Youzhen asked all the cabinet ministers to put forward their own views, say whatever comes to mind, do not have any scruples, and do not think of matters that will be investigated.
The debate was very fierce, as before, two sets of completely different opinions were formed, the first assistant of the cabinet, Zhou Yanru, resolutely did not agree to fight with the Houjin Tartars to deal with the Jiangning battalion, and the second assistant of the cabinet, Chen Xinjia, thought that this was a very good suggestion, and the Ming army could command the Houjin Tartars and deal a fatal blow to the Jiangning battalion in Beizhili.
The reason for the two is also very clear, Zhou Yanru believes that the wolf ambition of the Houjin Tartars is well known, under the banner of joint operations with the Ming army, what if there are other attempts, such as the use of false ways to defeat the strategy, which will make the court internal and external difficulties, into a desperate situation, because there is a Liaodong Guanning Jin defense line, the Houjin Tartars can not enter the customs, seeing that this opportunity has come, so put forward a proposal for joint operations, the Houjin Tartars have surrendered to the imperial court for more than a year, but there are no substantive measures, On the contrary, they are still recruiting soldiers on a large scale, using the mutual market in Quang Ninh to buy grain and grass, and this kind of intention, can't the imperial court see it?
Chen Xinjia believes that the Houjin Tartars are likely to have other thoughts, and the ultimate goal is also for their own interests, but the Houjin Tartars entered the customs, fought with the Jiangning battalion in Beizhili, and were in a situation of isolation and helplessness before and after, the Liaodong border army guarded Liaodong, and the army led by Wang Daozhi was stationed in Baoding Mansion. It is also necessary that there is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, and at present, the Golden Tartar does not have such strength.
Zhou Yanru quickly refuted Chen Xinjia's opinion, in the early years of Chongzhen, the Houjin Tartars entered the customs from Xifengkou and other places, and there was no support, but after they entered the pass, they burned and looted, and soon gathered grain and grass, and the courage of the Houjin Tartar cavalry was also a fact, when there was such a situation, how to control, not to mention the biggest danger was that within the scope of Beizhili, there was no place to rely on in the capital, once the Houjin Tartars were familiar with the terrain of Beizhili, It is very likely that while fighting with the Jiangning battalion, he will covet the capital.
Chen Xinjia also put forward a rebuttal, thinking that the Houjin Tartars really fought with the Jiangning Battalion, and they would not have the ability to covet the capital, not to mention that all this was speculation, and the imperial court could make proper arrangements to prevent the Houjin Tartars from taking such measures.
The argument was very fierce, and neither Zhou Yanru nor Chen Xinjia could convince anyone.
After the controversy lasted for a while, it was Zhu You's turn to check the board.
"What you Aiqing said is reasonable, after I listened, I noticed a problem, I asked Zhou Aiqing, since you think that there are many dangers in the joint operation of the Houjin Tartars and the army, then can you come up with a way, so that the army can completely defeat the Jiangning battalion, this time Su Tiancheng led the army to conquer and entered Beizhili, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I dare not be arrogant, relying on the strength of this army, wanting to kill Su Tiancheng is tantamount to a fool's dream."
Zhou Yanru lowered his head, this is his biggest weakness, if it is recommended to mobilize the Liaodong border army to participate in the battle, this is no different from letting the Houjin Tartars enter the Guannei to fight, and there is still a huge threat to mobilize the Liaodong border army to fight, that is, to give Liaodong to the Houjin Tartars, which is more dangerous than letting the Houjin Tartars go deep into the north to fight alone.
"Chen Aiqing, I have listened to it for a long time, and I also ask you a question, in case the Houjin Tartars burn and loot in Beizhili, in case they use the strategy of false Dao to cut down the enemy, how to deal with it, I have not heard the good way, in this regard, Zhou Aiqing has a clear understanding, the wolf ambition of the Houjin Tartars, must not be underestimated, let alone negligent."
Chen Xinjia also lowered his head, in such a short period of time, it is impossible to think of a perfect strategy, only to give all kinds of restrictions in the negotiation with Jierharang, and at the same time ask the officials of Fuzhou County to make all preparations.
"I see, this joint operation strategy is still possible, but I want to remind you, don't have any luck psychology, I used to trust Su Tiancheng very much, but what is it like now, Su Tiancheng led the army, attacked Beizhili, attacked the capital, thinking about my life, the situation is pressing, I have no choice, the Houjin Tartars can enter the customs, they can fight with the army, but they must be clearly told not to have other ideas, otherwise I will ignore Su Tiancheng's attack, but I will also deal with the Houjin Tartars, I still have hundreds of thousands of troops, stationed in Liaodong, but I am not a vegetarian. ”
"Negotiation matters, Chen Aiqing has worked hard, time is urgent, Su Tiancheng led the rebels, I am afraid that they are already about to enter Beizhili, I don't want to delay the time because of the delay, causing Beizhili and the capital to fall into a crisis......"
When leaving the Heart Cultivation Palace, Zhou Yanru looked at Chen Xinjia and didn't say anything, because of the difference in concepts, he felt that the emperor gradually began to rely on Chen Xinjia, and the power struggle within the court will gradually appear, in the past, Zhou Yanru, who is experienced in the past, must have thought of a way to deal with it, but now it is different, the court is full of crises, and it is difficult to say how long it can last, at this time, it is not much point to continue to fight for power.
Chen Xinjia is as ambitious, when he was in Liaodong, he thought that he could defeat the Houjin Tartars, but he suffered a fiasco, thinking that there was no hope in this life, but by chance, he became the second assistant of the cabinet, although the situation is not very good, but the matter is man-made, as long as the situation of the court can be stabilized, even if it is across the river from Jiangningying, after all, the court has an orthodox status, and I believe that the situation can always change.
The Ming Dynasty is in such a crisis, between the first assistant of the cabinet and the second assistant of the cabinet, there is an analysis, and the power struggle is also faintly emerging, which has to make people sigh, fortunately, Zhu Youzhen's change is very great, knowing that the Tao is a crisis, knowing that the Tao is a crisis, knowing that the Tao is focused on interests, and the clapper is a joint battle with the Houjin Tartars.
