Chapter 1053: Zhang Fengyi's Choice
Since coming to Dengzhou, Wu Sangui is almost forgotten, but he has no way, Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou, that is, Su Tiancheng's world, there is no hope for a long time, Wu Sangui is of course not satisfied, but his performance is indeed unsatisfactory, several expeditions, he also went out with the army, but the privileged thinking formed in Liaodong made him unable to put down for a while, and the military regulations of the Jiangning battalion were too strict, Wu Sangui was a little unbearable.
In the final analysis, Wu Sangui still can't forget what happened in Liaodong, he once held military power, lost the army overnight, and during that time in Liaodong, he encountered a lot of things, which made Wu Sangui have a lot of resentment in his heart, these grievances have no place to vent, after a long time, they will naturally ferment, forming dissatisfaction with Su Tiancheng.
So in every expedition, Wu Sangui was full of emotions.
Wu Sangui, who is good at observing words and feelings, has long noticed that the attitude of the emperor and the court towards Su Tiancheng is slowly changing, he thinks that this may be his opportunity, as long as he can attract the attention of the court again and show his loyalty, he will definitely be able to be reused by the emperor, if the opportunity is good, maybe he can replace Su Tiancheng.
The law of history cannot be violated, Wu Sangui originally had a chance, he was also a fierce general of the Ming Dynasty, if he could adjust his mentality in time and be loyal to Su Tiancheng, it would not be the current situation.
Zhang Fengyi led an army of 30,000 and stationed in Dengzhou, Wu Sangui felt that his opportunity had come, and I am afraid that the emperor and the court would find a way to deal with Su Tiancheng, and he helped and made a contribution, which could completely change the current situation.
After Zhang Fengyi came to Dengzhou, Wu Sangui was thinking of a way. It is necessary to see Zhang Fengyi, show loyalty, and at the same time, be able to give advice and attract Zhang Fengyi's attention.
It's a pity that Wu Sangui didn't expect that after Zhang Fengyi led the army to Dengzhou, he could only stay in the barracks. He was not allowed to leave the barracks, but fortunately, who wanted to visit Zhang Fengyi, Qu Qingze did not stop him.
After careful preparations, Wu Sangui was ready to meet Zhang Fengyi.
Wu Sangui's visit made Zhang Fengyi very happy, in the past three days, Zhang Fengyi was a little desperate, and it was obviously unrealistic to go to Gaizhou to see Su Tiancheng. During the war, whether he can meet Su Tiancheng smoothly is something that cannot be said, and even if he arrives in Gaizhou, Su Tiancheng will find a reason casually, and he may wait for a few months, I am afraid that after he really finds Su Tiancheng, there will be no result. Returned to Dengzhou again, 30,000 soldiers. Many of them followed Qu Qingze.
Since the contradiction between Su Tiancheng and the imperial court has been exposed to a certain extent, how can Su Tiancheng sit idly by.
Therefore, Zhang Fengyi couldn't think of any good way.
Hearing is false, seeing is believing, Qu Qingze spent a day. specially accompanied Zhang Fengyi to Dengzhou Mansion City and Penglai City, as well as the Jiangning Camp Barracks to have a look, and what he saw made Zhang Fengyi even more frightened. Needless to say, the prosperity of Dengzhou Capital City, Penglai City and the military camp, the Jiangning battalion soldiers stationed there, the momentum they showed made Zhang Fengyi, who was the secretary of the military department, feel breathless.
Zhang Fengyi already felt that he had no hope when he came to Dengzhou, and accepted an impossible task, so in a short period of time, he also made a decision to act in a perfunctory way.
Wu Sangui's visit is like a shot in the arm; in any case, Wu Sangui is the commander of the Jiangning battalion and a high-ranking officer, and if he can get Wu Sangui's help and work out a sound plan, he may be able to change the situation in front of him.
Zhang Fengyi and Wu Sangui were talking in the room, and there were sergeants guarding outside, and Zhang Fengyi didn't see anyone during this time period.
The strange thing is that the conversation between the two was not long, but after about half an hour, the conversation ended, Zhang Fengyi walked out of the room first, with a smile on his face, and Wu Sangui followed behind, without much expression on his face.
The conversation with Wu Sangui disappointed Zhang Fengyi, and he really understood that Su Tiancheng can recognize and employ people.
At the beginning of the conversation, Wu Sangui first showed his loyalty, Zhang Fengyi was still a little worried, but after a few words of temptation, it was determined that Wu Sangui really wanted to obey the emperor and the imperial court, Wu Sangui, as a senior officer of the Jiangning battalion, had such thoughts, which showed that the Jiangning battalion was not monolithic, at least at the beginning, Zhang Fengyi thought so.
Zhang Fengyi, who was ecstatic, began to inquire about the situation of the Jiangning camp, and faintly revealed that if Wu Sangui could make a group of officers loyal to the imperial court, it would be a huge credit, but it was a pity that Zhang Fengyi's idea fell through.
After a few conversations, Zhang Fengyi felt that Wu Sangui didn't seem to have the power to fight the army, and he didn't have many friends in the Jiangning camp, as for the matter of plotting against the officers, he couldn't count on it, and after the conversation, Zhang Fengyi finally understood that Wu Sangui meant that he was thinking about taking refuge in the imperial court and leaving Dengzhou.
Zhang Fengyi was devastated, so he simply told the truth, and asked how many Jiangning battalion sergeants Wu Sangui could lead, that is, how many henchmen, Wu Sangui blushed and did not speak, now Zhang Fengyi completely understood, it turned out that Wu Sangui was in the Jiangning camp, and he had no real power at all, but it was just an ornament.
Zhang Fengyi still comforted Wu Sangui and told Wu Sangui that he would definitely go to the emperor and the court and recommend Wu Sangui.
Zhang Fengyi's perfunctory attitude, Wu Sangui also saw it, and the conversation naturally couldn't continue.
Through the conversation with Wu Sangui, Zhang Fengyi was even more frightened, because Wu Sangui, who was the commander of the guard, was not able to control the army and did not have any real power, which can only show that Su Tiancheng regarded people like torches and had already seen through Wu Sangui, probably for some reason, he did not deal with it.
Wu Sangui used to be in Liaodong, and he was also famous, but unfortunately he came to Dengzhou, he was nothing, a general soldier in Liaodong, suffered such treatment, which seemed a little impossible, but Su Tiancheng did it.
After sending Wu Sangui away, Zhang Fengyi was completely dead, it seems that he needs to be wise, don't think about what he can do in Dengzhou, as for the emperor's secret decree, the tasks arranged in it, he can't complete it, so don't think about those things, it's better to give the court a twist, just say that he is not feeling well, and I implore him to return to the capital, so that the court can send more capable officials to Dengzhou, and the current plan is to leave Dengzhou as soon as possible and leave this place of right and wrong.
After making up his mind, Zhang Fengyi began to write the recital.
Wu Sangui's whereabouts have always been under the surveillance of Qu Qingze.
Wu Sangui went to see Zhang Fengyi, which was expected by Qu Qingze, but it was also a little unexpected, Qu Qingze did not expect that Wu Sangui was so impatient, but Wu Sangui had no power, and he couldn't even move a single soldier of the Jiangning battalion.
But Qu Qingze's idea is still different, the 30,000 army stationed in Dengzhou is like a time bomb, containing 20,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers all the time, Su Tiancheng is about to lead the army to conquer, Dengzhou must ensure absolute stability, the best way is to meet Zhang Fengyi directly, no matter what method is used, prompt Zhang Fengyi to make a decision, let the 30,000 soldiers leave Dengzhou temporarily, it is best to go to Xuanzhou to station.
This is also in line with Su Tiancheng's requirements, if the Japanese invade Korea, the 30,000 troops stationed in Xuanzhou can stabilize the situation, so that Fuzhou, Xuanzhou and other places will not be affected, and the 30,000 troops are stationed in Xuanzhou, Dolgon is also scruples, and does not dare to let go.
After thinking it through, Qu Qingze made two decisions, the first was to send someone to monitor Wu Sangui, and the second was to see Zhang Fengyi.
Qu Qingze entered the barracks and came out for a long time.
When leaving the barracks, Zhang Fengyi sent Qu Qingze with a wry smile, and the smile on Qu Qingze's face was comfortable.
Back at the Governor's Mansion, Qu Qingze immediately wrote a letter to Su Tiancheng.
His conversation with Zhang Fengyi achieved results, which made him himself not expect that Zhang Fengyi must not agree to the deployment of the army, because there is no emperor's holy decree, but Qu Qingze said that all the responsibilities can be pushed to the side of Dengzhou, besides, the army is stationed in Xuanzhou, and the space for activities must be larger, and the 20,000 soldiers of the Jiangning battalion are stationed in Dengzhou and other places, and the safety is enough to ensure it. I don't know what Lu Dao is for, Zhang Fengyi actually agreed to such a suggestion.
Qu Qingze wants to report the situation here to Su Tiancheng immediately, the time must be fast, otherwise it will be too late, and at the same time, Qu Qingze also wants to ask for instructions on how to deal with Wu Sangui, although Zhang Fengyi did not specifically mention anything about Wu Sangui, but from the subtle changes in Zhang Fengyi's expression, Qu Qingze still noticed the abnormality.
Zhang Fengyi made such a decision, but also helpless, no matter what, he used to be the secretary of the military department, and now he also hangs the title of the secretary of the military department, 30,000 troops are stationed in Dengzhou, in fact, there is danger, the sergeants are all in the barracks, they can't leave the barracks, after a long time, the sergeants will definitely not be satisfied, and there will be trouble, and it will be out of control.
Zhang Fengyi knew very well that if there was really infighting, there was friction between the sergeant and the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, to that extent, he, the secretary of the military department, I am afraid that he would not be able to keep his head, Su Tiancheng led the army to conquer the golden tartars in the front, but there was a situation of cannibalism in the back, no one could bear it, and the emperor's secret decree could not save him.
After thinking about it, coupled with Qu Qingze's rhetoric, Zhang Fengyi agreed and led the army to leave Dengzhou.
Going to Xuanzhou is the best choice, returning to the capital is definitely not possible, and there is no place for the 30,000 troops to be stationed, only to go to Xuanzhou, and some reasonable explanations can be made.
Zhang Fengyi still has the basic qualities, and Zhang Fengyi fully supports the matter of exterminating the Golden Tartars, and he must not affect the biggest thing because of his own actions, then he may become a sinner in history. (To be continued......)
