Chapter 594: Chang Wei's Flaws
Everything started a year and a half ago, Wei Liangqing didn't know what his cousin Wei Liangdong was pumping in his brain, and he actually asked Chang Wei for the fictitious title of Jinyi Weibei Town's envoy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It doesn't matter, in Wei Liangqing's eyes, this cousin is a standard gentleman, who doesn't know anything except eating, drinking, having fun and being a little smart. He didn't even know how to steal and kill for money, he just relied on the favor of his uncle Wei Zhongxian.
Therefore, giving Ying Tianfu Xie Yuan a false title could not attract Wei Liangqing's attention at all, but it didn't take long for his cousin Wei Liangdong to encounter an assassin, but fortunately, there was no danger. Although Wei Liangqing looked down on his cousin, he was still very concerned about his cousin's safety no matter what.
Who would have thought that the assassin incident would lead to the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect and the Holy Mother Sect, and what is even more amazing is that Xie Yuan and the stinky little dragon Fu Zhouzi quickly extinguished the Holy Mother Sect. This battle gave Wei Zhongxian a boost of face, and the name Chang Wei officially attracted the attention of Wei Zhongxian's group.
What made Wei Liangqing even more curious was that this Chang Wei turned out to be a carefree person, and he had no intention of climbing up as an official, so it was Chang Wei's relatives and friends who benefited from that battle.
So far, Chang Wei's performance has been very good, and the eunuch group is very satisfied, and then Chang Wei made flintlock pistols and organized the volunteer battalion to attract the emperor's attention. But the rapport did not last long, and Min Chengbi, the official of Zhejiang, wrote a letter accusing Chang Wei of infringing on his interests on Liuheng Island.
Chang Wei's ancestral home is Fufeng, Shaanxi, born in Suzhou, Nanzhili, and is an official in Nanjing, it can be said that his scope of activities is completely in Nanzhili, and meddling in the matter of Liuheng Island in Zhejiang is stepping on the boundary, which is a taboo in officialdom, and he must be taught a lesson, so that he can have a long memory!
So, Wei Liangqing signaled to Tian Ergeng to take off Chang Wei's Beizhen envoy, and Chang Wei, who had learned a lesson, finally settled down, and he and his ally Shen family stayed away from Liuheng Island. Before long, Chang Wei broke the conspiracy of the White Lotus Sect to bombard the Nanjing Imperial Palace, and once again got the false title of the envoy of Beizhen, and then, exterminated the pirates, exterminated the lake bandits, and went north to exterminate the White Lotus Sect!
This series of swift and unparalleled actions not only made Chang Wei stand out in the imperial court, but also earned Wei Zhongxian back a lot of face. Although these things did not violate Wei Liangqing's interests, they aroused strong uneasiness among the governor of Caoyun, Teng Leshan.
Chang Wei's father Chang Qing's impeachment of Teng Leshan was suppressed by Wei Zhongxian, Wei Liangqing naturally knew what Teng Leshan was afraid of, and when Wei Liangqing hesitated, Shandong Governor Zhao Yan and a group of people impeached Chang Wei's subordinates for looting the treasury and bullying his colleagues, and on the other side, Min Chengbi also got evidence that Chang Wei used Shao Ze's identity.
These two things add up to Chang Wei will be exiled for three thousand miles without going to prison for a few years, it is no longer possible to go straight to the top of his career, and when he arrives here, he doesn't need Wei Liangqing and Teng Leshan to do anything, Chang Wei is finished.
But when he arrived at the palace, the emperor had another idea. Chang Wei's deeds such as making muskets, practicing righteousness and bravery, fighting the Church of Our Lady, the White Lotus Sect, and making glass mirrors all reached the ears of the emperor. The emperor's way of supervising the world was through officials from all over the world, eunuchs sent to various places by Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and imperial horse supervisors, and even nobles such as Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei.
In the face of all kinds of news, the emperor thought that Chang Wei was a capable minister and a useful figure, and he approved Tian Ergeng's request to beat Chang Wei and interrogate the facts of the case, but the emperor's original intention was to beat the board.
It was this will that caused Wei Liangqing's panic, such a big thing, it was just a beating? If he was really allowed to enter the imperial court, with the help of his cousin Wei Liangdong, how far would he grow? No, Chang Wei must be finished!
So, under the instruction of Wei Liangqing, Tian Ergeng weaved ten major crimes, and wanted to completely cut off Chang Wei's career. In their opinion, those who go to prison will either be beaten to death, or obediently confess their guilt and submit to the law, and there is no superfluous option.
Chang Wei's martial arts were abolished, and the person was tortured half-dead, and he was on the verge of collapse, but he did not open his mouth, did not confess a word, and did not admit the slightest crime. What they didn't expect was that Yuan Keli actually flew into Beijing and entered the palace to ask for the holy oracle, and the three law divisions did not delay at all, and went directly to Cangzhou to clarify the case.
In the end, Chang Wei lost 100,000 taels of silver!
Although Chang Wei is not completely finished, he is far away from his official career, and what is more interesting is that Chang Wei has many enemies in the rivers and lakes, and Wei Liangqing no longer takes him seriously.
But Chang Wei's tenacity exceeded Wei Liangqing's expectations, first the ocean-going fleet, then the pedal carriage, the carriage, and Yuan Keli's recommendation, all of which reached the emperor's ears. In the end, Wei Liangdong even said that Wei Zhongxian was moved, and Chang Wei won the envoy of Jinyi Weibei Town, this time it is no longer a false title, but a real award!
But Wei Liangqing couldn't stop it, because the emperor was determined to activate Chang Wei! Okay! When you get to the capital and my territory, I have a hundred ways to get you out, or even play you to death!
But something even more excessive, that cousin Wei Liangdong used Chang Wei's exploits and two cars to make the emperor Longyan happy, and made Wei Liangdong the Duke of Anton on the spot, and sacrificed to Taimiao!
He immediately summoned Ke Guangxian, Hou Guoxing, Xu Xianchun, Ni Wenhuan, and other henchmen to discuss ways to deal with Chang Wei.
This time, the plan was not only to clean up Chang Wei, but also to bring down Chang Tong, Chang Kuan, and even Yuan Keli, these people were good at harming people, and there were countless tricks, so they quickly formulated a careful plan and set a subtle trap.
But on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve last year, the secret news told by his uncle Wei Zhongxian personally made Wei Liangqing bitter in his mouth and cold in his hands and feet! All calculations and plans were shattered by this news, and all his means were in vain, at least for a period of time, he did not dare to do it!
Wei Zhongxian's news was: The emperor and Chang Wei have become brothers! Moreover, the emperor is serious, and he gave Chang Wei a waist card that he carried with him!
Wei Zhongxian is not a fool, he knows that Wei Liangqing is playing tricks against Chang Wei, he didn't ask about it before, because it is not necessary, after all, a little Xie Yuan, life or death does not look in his eyes.
But now, you must not deal with Chang Wei, that is a character who has sworn to his master!
Speaking from his heart, Wei Zhongxian had a good impression of Chang Wei, except for calling him fat. When Chang Wei talked with the emperor, from the destruction of Houjin, the expansion of territory, Europa, and America, to the guns, warships, glass mirrors, and pedaling carts, they were all ways to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and did not involve the slightest government and party disputes.
Moreover, Chang Wei's eldest brother Chang Kuan, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, Chang Tong, the second brother Zhenjiang Prefect, and even the teacher Yuan Keli, are all down-to-earth and never participate in the battle. These people are all liked by the emperor, needed by the imperial court, and are people that Wei Zhongxian must respect.
No matter how powerful Wei Zhongxian is, no matter how powerful he is in the world, he still needs to rely on these people who do the truth to govern the world and govern the government, otherwise the court will collapse long ago just by relying on those who slap the horse and only know how to make money. Even Wei Zhongxian himself once took out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to buy horses, armor, and guns for the Liaodong front.
In short, in a word: Chang Wei and his helpers are not enemies!
Chang Wei and the emperor bowed to this unbelievable thing, and immediately, Wei Liangqing wilted. He put away his thoughts, stopped all plans, and honestly watched Chang Wei from the sidelines.
On the sixth day of the first month, Chang Wei went to the palace, first washed the stains on his body, and then said that the farmers could not eat enough by the White Lotus Sect, and then launched high-yield potatoes.
Later, Chang Wei threw out the proposal of apportioning the land into the mu and re-implementing a whip law to collect a large amount of industrial and commercial taxes. This was naturally blocked by the Donglin Party, however, after the initial confrontation, Chang Wei gained more power!
On the first day of entering Beizhen Fusi, Chang Wei slaughtered Wang Chang and Yan Lao Wu, and then released more than 800 people who were involved in Donglin, and beheaded more than 200 people! Clarifying the matter of the edict made the ministers of the imperial court see clearly Chang Wei's iron-faced selflessness and his observance of the law in everything.
Subsequently, a series of things such as the establishment of the Machinery Bureau, the improvement of guns and gunpowder, and the cleaning up of the rebellious Fu Wang brought great benefits to the court and the emperor. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chang Wei proposed a plan to rectify the guard and cut the domain.
Wei Liangqing stopped a little, but in exchange for the emperor's severe reprimand and cabinet changes, Wei Liangqing was afraid, really afraid!
At this time, Chang Wei was even more out of control, gathering the displaced people in Shaanxi, beheading Lin Dan Khan at Zhenyuan Pass, regaining the jade seal of the country, and being awarded the title of Duke of Qin, and then, out of the fortress to control the Tatar Khan Court, swept through the Monan grassland for 2,000 miles!
It's not over, in the wild wave battle of the Qinglong River, after the defeat of the first battle, the 50,000 cavalry of Kimbellahauge were defeated, killing 25,000 people, and achieving unprecedented combat achievements!
Looking at his jubilant cousin Wei Liangdong, Wei Liangqing's heart was cold!
Finally, things have taken a turn for the better!
On the sixth day of the first month of November, when the news of Chang Wei's defeat of the Horqin tribe, the burning of its grassland, and the slaughter of its tribal population came, a note was made in the imperial history of Suzhou, and at the same time, the secret letter of Mao Yilu, the governor of Nanzhili, and Min Chengbi, the governor of Zhejiang, was also sent to Wei Liangqing!
"Chang Wei, Chang Wei, you finally showed your flaws!"
Yuan Keli saw the first time that the imperial history of Suzhou was sparse, so he sent someone to fly out of Beijing to find Chang Wei. Yuan Keli, who is experienced and has a keen sense of smell, saw the hidden crisis behind this trick.
On the eighth day of November, Chang Wei learned that Houjinzierharang and Haoge had sent troops at the same time, and immediately drove more than 200,000 young prisoners and millions of livestock, withdrew from the Horqin grassland, and planted gunpowder at the mouth of the valley where the Qinglong River entered the grassland, razing the place to the ground, and severing the connection between the Horqin grassland and the hometown of Daningwei.
The 45,000 army retreated to the hometown of Daningwei, and built an earthen city at the confluence of the Lightning River, Qinglong River, Luan River, and Mameng Mountain, where it could threaten Houjin Yizhou to the east, guard the Chahar grassland to the west, and choke the road to the south of Karaqin and Wuliangha in the north, and to the south less than 300 miles away from the Xifeng Pass, and the cavalry could reach it in one day and night. It's a real battleground!
On the tenth day of November, Chang Wei met the two masters of Gu and Chen under Yuan Keli, and the words of the two made him shocked!
At the moment, he spent the night with Tang Jinyi, Hu Wenqing, Fang Huan'er, and the secret businessman, and on the second day, the three of them went south with Gu and Chen.
Three days later, news came from the Great Wall: There is a holy message! The imperial court specially sent the right attendant of the military department, the imperial historian, the celebrant supervisor, the imperial horse supervisor, the Jizhou military garrison and others to discuss the grassland affairs, and asked Chang Wei to return to Xifengkou to discuss.
Chang Wei appeased the generals, handed over all matters to Wuding, and only took Zuofu and Zuo Bi to the south.
On November 15, on the Great Wall of Xifengkou, where the snow was fluttering and the water was dripping into ice, Chang Wei met more than a dozen important members of the imperial court.
"See Qin Guogong!"
Today's Chang Wei is not only a super-grade national prince, but also made immortal achievements, although this group of adults with the mission of the imperial court and the oracle, but in the face of him still knelt down and bowed.
"You don't have to be polite!"
After the greetings, the old acquaintance of the eunuch Bingbi Tu Wenfu handed over the holy oracle to Chang Wei, the content of the oracle was very casual, the emperor highly appreciated Chang Wei's military exploits, and let him dominate everything in the Monan grassland, and he determined that the meritorious ministers returned to the dynasty to be rewarded, as for the matter of immigration, it is still controversial, and he needs to return to the court to determine the specific situation and strategy, in order to implement Yunyun.
The emperor wrote thousands of words scattered, and there was a strong sense of concern and affection between the lines, which made Chang Wei feel a little at ease, and after reading it, he made up his mind, because the emperor did not mention what Yuan Keli said.
This is to affirm his merits, and he does not intend to pursue the matter, at least to give him a chance to refute it.
After carefully reading the oracle several times, Chang Wei discussed the matters on the grassland outside the customs with several dignitaries, these people were instructed by the emperor and the cabinet, and everything was based on Chang Wei's opinion, and they were responsible for coordinating the nearby soldiers and generals to cooperate with him.
The final result was: the new Daning Town, Wuding stepped into the sky as the general soldier of Daning Town, the general soldier of Jizhou assisted Chang Wei's men and horses to guard Daning Town, and the general soldier of Jizhou was the female general Qin Liangyu.
Qin Liangyu's character Zhensu, a native of Zhongzhou, Sichuan, is a descendant of Han Fubo's general Ma Yuan, hereditary Shi Yan Xuanfu envoy, after the death of Ma Qiancheng, because his son Ma Xianglin was young, Qin Liangyu took the husband's position. After the first year of the Apocalypse, the Jin soldiers besieged Shenyang, Qin Liangyu led his brothers and sons to participate in the war, and then stationed in Jizhou, with outstanding military achievements, the emperor issued an edict to Qin Liangyu to add second-grade official clothing, and awarded the order of the wife, and named Ma Xianglin as the commander.
Sending famous generals like Qin Liangyu to assist, it can be seen that the imperial court has really made up its mind.
Daning Town has jurisdiction over Daningwei, with Wuding concurrently serving as the commander, Quan Ningwei and Cheng Laohu as the commander, and Qinglongwei and He Wenlie as the commander. They were temporarily stationed in Daning, building a castle to stabilize the territory.
Wanquan Town was newly established, with jurisdiction over Wanquanwei, Kaipingwei, Yingchangwei, and personnel selected by the imperial court; Changping of Hetao Town was set up as the general soldier, and Changping of Naturalized Wei was also the commander; Shuofangwei, Dongshengwei, Linhewei, Jiuyuanwei, Jiningwei and other nine guards, and the command just fell on the nine sons of the Big Dipper. Of course, if you want to take office, you have to wait for the implementation of the real affairs of immigration.
Although there is a suspicion of taking power in this way, the brothers have made outstanding achievements, and no one in the court is willing to go to the grassland to blow the wind, and even if they are willing to come, no one has the talent to hold on.
How Ma Lie, Zhuo Qizhen and their subordinates will be rewarded will only be determined if they enter the Hajj, but their official positions will definitely not be low.
After agreeing on all this, Zuo Fu and Right Bi returned to Daning and took Ma Lie, Zhuo Qizhen, Batu Baihu and others south to receive rewards! )
