Chapter 1088 The Minister of the Humerus

The most ruthless emperor's family, the biological mother and son may turn against each other, and the same is true between the Wanli Emperor and the Empress Dowager Cisheng, the Li family, back and forth, tug-of-war with each other, and the cold war between each other until the Wanli Emperor drove the Empress Dowager Li out of the Forbidden City, and the matter has developed to this point, and the Empress Dowager Li still returned to the palace.

In the past, Emperor Wanli would come here in the morning and evening to say hello to Empress Dowager Li, and then always have a meal with him a day, but now, Emperor Wanli only came three times a month and rarely stayed for dinner.

No matter what Empress Dowager Li thinks about this, but after such a long time, she has also adapted to it, and people who have been in the palace for more than five years have memories, Empress Dowager Li was full of black hair before leaving the palace, and her appearance was a woman in her thirties, but now she is completely an old woman, full of white hair, and her face is also wrinkled.

If there is any difference from the past, an old eunuch said in private that the original Cining Palace, when he entered the room where the Queen Mother was, he unconsciously felt awe, cautious, and the Queen Mother was imposing, but now it makes people feel very quiet, sometimes even if the distance is very close, in a trance, they feel that there is no such person.

Ups and downs, life and death, seeing a lot, there must be such and such changes in mentality, this is a good way to follow.

Emperor Wanli came to Cining Palace for dinner, although Empress Dowager Li did not have any fluctuations in expression, but she rarely changed into a new dress, and arranged for her cronies to go to the imperial dining room to give a few words of instructions alone, and made a meal that Emperor Wanli liked.

But some things, lost is lost, there is no way to recover, the original table when the two of them are eating, is a small round table, the mother and son are very close, but now, under the signal of Emperor Wanli, the place where Cining Palace eats is a rectangular long table in the West, Empress Dowager Li sits on one side, Emperor Wanli sits on the side, looking at each other across the long table, and there is nothing to say.

When eating, it was also very quiet, and the eunuchs and palace maids on both sides trotted to divide the dishes and clean up, and this errand was also the last thing the palace people wanted to do.

Because the atmosphere was too depressing, everyone felt trembling inside, for fear that something would go wrong and lose their heads, but in fact it was not so terrible, and some people dropped the dishes because of nervousness, the Queen Mother and the Emperor just looked at it lightly and ordered to change it, but the palace people still felt terrible.

Emperor Wanli ate the rice in the bowl in two bites, and then drank a small glass of medicinal wine in front of him, and the Empress Dowager Li on the opposite side wanted to let Emperor Wanli eat more, but after thinking about it, she didn't speak.

Zou Yi, who was waiting on the side, saw Emperor Wanli waving his hand, and hurriedly beckoned everyone in the house to go down, and he finally followed the door.

"When I came to see my mother today, I wanted to ask something, the Japanese invaded North Korea, and the Ming Dynasty must send troops, but who is the handsome emperor is still undecided, is it Wang Tonghao or Li Rusong is suitable?"

Hearing the first half of Emperor Wanli's words, Empress Dowager Cisheng's eyes dimmed, but she still said indifferently:

"The emperor has already chosen someone in his heart, right? Wang Tong's martial arts are promising, isn't he the most suitable? ”

Emperor Wanli picked up the silver pot containing fruit juice in front of him, poured himself a bowl without paying attention to it, took a sip, and was silent for a while before saying:

"It's indeed as the queen mother said, but Wang Tong, the emperor, doesn't dare to draw any conclusions, can't say?"

"You kid, the first emperor has never been so suspicious......"

This question and answer made Empress Dowager Li seem to have returned to some of the previous times, but after saying a word, she stopped in a self-defeating way, why Wanli is so cautious and suspicious, and what is the reason, everyone understands very well.

The atmosphere in the side hall of the dining room was a little awkward, and fell into silence, and after a while, the Empress Dowager Li said quietly:

"The mourning family doesn't know what to say, so many things that the mourning family has encountered in recent years are inseparable from this Wang Tong, but the emperor, Wang Tong is willing to fight like this for the emperor and the mourning family, which is enough to show his heart, before the Eastern Expedition to Jianzhou, it was to destroy me, it was the Jiangnan investigation, it was the opening of the port of Tianjin, it was the escort and rescue in the palace, this pile of great contributions was accumulated, and it was almost at the peak after the destruction of the Jianzhou Jurchens, what he really wanted to do, what should he do, what he wanted and the emperor wanted, it should be at that time, But Wang Tong ran all the way to Songjiang, and the emperor can think about it, if it were someone else, would he do this......"

The room was quiet again......

On October 25, the twentieth year of Wanli, the first assistant Wang Xijue proposed at the Fengtianmen side hall court meeting that the responsibility for the war to aid the Korean and resist the Japanese was heavy, and he must be the commander of the name to win.

Emperor Wanli recognized the remarks of the first assistant, and asked Wang Xijue to propose the candidate for the commander, Wang Xijue thought that the Liao Duke Wang Tong who was currently living in Songjiang Mansion was the most suitable, and the Wanli Emperor was also very satisfied with Wang Xijue's judgment, and the ministers of the court had no objections, and then they could issue an order to summon Wang Tong as the commander to mobilize a large army to fight in the court.

The will was rushed all the way to Songjiang Mansion, and when the calculation was still halfway through, Wang Tong had a letter coming, which said that it was a view on the Korean war situation, which was quite pertinent.

There is a very clear statement, that is, the current situation is already delaying the fighter plane, Wang Tong said in the fold, the soldiers are fast, and to seize the opportunity, the Japanese army in Korea is gradually stable, the Ming soldiers and horses should not sit by the Yalu River and watch the other side's movements, should attack as soon as possible.

The Japanese have nearly 200,000 troops in Korea, and the mobile troops that can be mobilized on the Liaoning side are more than 60,000, and there are more than 15,000 soldiers in the Ming concept.

Wang Tong also made an analysis of this possibility, the terrain of North Korea is narrow, and there are mostly mountains, the area west of Pyongyang City to the sea is relatively gentle, and the gentle area of North Korea, that is, the west side of the entire peninsula, and the south side of the side is flat land, this area is actually quite narrow.

In this way, the two sides seem to be encountering in a narrow alley, no matter how many people you have and how many people I have, everyone facing each other is a fixed number of people, and the number of troops does not play a role here, and the 60,000 soldiers and horses of Liaoning may not be less than the 200,000 of the other side in this terrain.

After making this analysis, Wang Tong admonished the imperial court, saying that the soldiers were noble and fast, and in order for the guest army to quickly integrate local soldiers and horses to fight after arriving at the destination, the imperial court should first let Li Rusong, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, send troops to lead the elite cavalry into Liaoning, first integrate the various departments of Liaoning, and enter the court to attack the Japanese army.

Moreover, in order to be safe and increase the certainty of victory, the imperial court should also send the Han Gang Regiment of the Huwei Army stationed in Yongping Mansion to Liaoning to fight in Korea.

This twist and turn seems to be too stupid at this time, obviously the imperial court gave you the position of the commander Wang Tong, and in the future, you will have to suggest that Li Rusong enter the court, and let him integrate the various departments of Liaoning to attack first, isn't this a great credit to the Li family in vain?

If Wang Tong is the commander and Li Rusong's soldiers and horses are assigned under the command, the situation will be different, and the credit will be your good command at that time.

In this situation, Li Rusong will definitely be sent to North Korea, and he will integrate the Liaoning soldiers and horses to launch first, even if he is subordinate, I am afraid that outsiders will think that Li Rusong's merits have nothing to do with you Wang Tong.

But the time of this letter is the most concerned point in the palace, counting the distance from the Beijing division to Songjiang Mansion, that is to say, when the imperial court has not yet decreed that Wang Tong is the commander of the army to aid the DPRK, Wang Tong has already played, what does this mean, on behalf of Wang Tong does not care about personal gains and losses, and completely thinks about the gains and losses of Daming Sheji, this small thing, but it shows Wang Tong's loyalty even more, but it proves the correctness of the appointment of the court.

The military is urgent, Wang Tong's twists and turns are also true, the court is as good as a stream, and immediately ordered Li Rusong, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, to lead the elite five thousand troops of the headquarters into Liao, to aid the Korean to resist the Japanese, the ministers of the DPRK and the central government after you push me to let go, no one is willing to go to Liaoning to take this responsibility, and in the end, in desperation, can only order Liaoning Governor Xu Guangguo to control the soldiers and horses, as the commander-in-chief Xuanfu and the Liaoning army, and wait for Wang Tong to arrive and then make a decision.

This matter has become a joke in Beijing, and it is rumored among the government and the opposition, and now it is because the victory or defeat of the soldiers and horses in Liaoning is uncertain, if Wang Tong leads the troops, I am afraid that he will be the first to be the first to do this superintendent, it has been said that the second assistant Shen has always said hello to all aspects and is ready to take on this role.

The will arrived at Songjiang Mansion, and the incense case was placed in the Liaoguo Mansion to receive the will.

The will is very simple, order Wang Tong to command the army to aid the war against the Japanese, one of which is appointed, appointing Wang Tong as the governor of the left and right of the governor's mansion, although the governor's office of the five armies has no real power very early, but this position is a symbol of the military general's command of the army.

For the composition of the soldiers and horses to aid the DPRK and various aspects, the imperial court gave Wang Tong a very broad power, allowing him to select soldiers and horses to form an army in various places in the Ming Dynasty, and he also arranged the marching route and logistics baggage, and the financing and distribution of military expenses and military salaries were also decided by Wang Tong himself.

This power was even more terrible than that of the symbolic Zuodu Governor, which meant that the affairs of this army were completely controlled by Wang Tong during the war, and he was not responsible to the civil officials, but directly to the emperor and to the Son of Heaven.

The so-called ancestral system is nothing in the face of this will, but it is strange that no one has said anything about this from the capital to the locality, because after so many years, everyone feels that in terms of Wang Tong's status and status, it should be so, and there will be no mistakes. ro！ ~！
