Chapter 5 War of Mouth
Although Chongzhen has his little abacus and wants to compromise with the Eastern Man, he does not dare to really show the attitude of the Lord and him. He wants Yang Sichang and others to operate this matter secretly. After it is really done, once the people in the world scold him, he can also excuse that this is what Yang Sichang and others pretended to do. The blame can be pushed on the ministers below, and then find two scapegoats to take the blame for him, which will block the mouth of all sentient beings in the world.
However, in the capital of Daming, secrets can't be hidden. Although everything related to the construction of slaves is carried out in secret, there is no impervious wall in the world. This matter was quickly spread in the capital. After learning the news, the officials and the people all cursed. He even scolded Yang Sichang as a traitor. For a while, the discussion was blocked. Yang Sichang didn't want to take the blame, so he had to drag it down.
However, secretly, Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian still controlled the soldiers and horses in the Jingji area as much as possible according to Chongzhen's intention, and did not fight with the Jiannu who entered the bandits. Only the new minister of the Ministry of War, Lu Xiangsheng, was determined to fight the main battle, and led the Xuanda soldiers and horses under his leadership to fight with the enemy's army around Jingji continuously, although he repeatedly won Win, but these news were suppressed by Gao Qiqian and Yang Sichang, and they were not reported to Chongzhen at all.
During this period, it can be said that Chongzhen is not very clear about the war situation around Gyeonggi Province. However, as long as there is bad news, Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian will blame Lu Xiangsheng's head, which makes Chongzhen very dissatisfied with Lu Xiangsheng, but secretly Gao Qiqian and Yang Sichang are still tripping Lu Xiangsheng everywhere, and neither supply Lu Xiangsheng had enough food and salary, and did not send troops to cooperate with him to use Jiannu. In the name of Chen Xinjia, he also divided Lu Xiangsheng's only few soldiers and horses at present, which made Lu Xiangsheng's troops thinner.
But now that Xing Tianjun suddenly sent out such a sentence, which is equivalent to pushing the court to the forefront of the storm. If they don't fight, can the people in the world agree? At that time, even Zhu Youjian and he will all be rejected by the world. Xiao Tianjian did this. In fact, it was clear that he was forcing the court to be responsible for this matter and forcing the court to find a way to fight to the death with Jiannu. It turned out that their plan was kicked over by Xiao Tianjian. How could Chongzhen not be angry?
Now that it's better, Xing Tianjun actually openly launched the banner of going north to resist the invasion of Jiannu. If they are asked to come, it shows that the court does not have the ability to protect its own land and people, and actually relies on a thief army to help them. In addition, Xiao Tianjian said that he went north only to resist Jiannu. Jun, as long as Jiannu withdraws from the customs, they will return to Henan. Can they believe this? Once Xing Tianjun goes north, is it possible to spit out the meat he ate in his mouth? Therefore, it would be a joke to let Xing Tianjun go north to fight against Jiannu and Tari.
However, if you don't agree to go north by the Xing Tianjun, the court will send troops to fight to the death of the Jiannu army, and it can't be defeated. It must be shown that Zhu Youjian, who is today's great tomorrow, has the ability to protect the people of the Ming Dynasty. However, in this way, the court must pay a huge price and invest all the elite soldiers at hand. In the battle against Jiannu, once they are defeated, they will not only lose face, but also these elite officers and soldiers who are regarded by Zhu Yu as the last guarantee of the Ming Dynasty may also be damaged in large numbers in this war. What else can they take to eliminate Xiao Tianjian's Xing Tianjun and Li Zicheng and other thieves in the future?
So this time Xiao Tianjian sent this article to tell the world is equivalent to forcing the court to a dead corner. It can't advance or retreat. On the contrary, it is his Xiao Tianjian standing at the highest point of morality. Xiao Tianjian's method is really extremely vicious, no matter what the court is. It's not flattering at both ends.
Do you agree to let Xing Tianjun go north or not? Chongzhen retired from the left and right maids, leaving only the most trusted Yang Sichang to discuss this matter. Yang Sichang had actually thought about this matter for a while before entering the palace. He immediately advised Chongzhen not to let the Xingtian army go north. At present, the only way is to quickly mobilizing soldiers and horses from all over the country to defend the capital. One is to form heavy troops around the capital. The division is to prevent the construction of slaves from attacking the capital. The second is to strictly prevent the Xingtian army from standing on the moral commanding heights, sending troops to the north, and going to the north to seize the territory under the banner of resisting the construction slave army.
As for this poisonous trick to deal with Xing Tianjun, Yang Sichang gave Chongzhen a good idea, that is, to once again publicly recruit Xing Tianjun, so that Xing Tianjun's move can be removed.
Chongzhen was in a better mood when he heard this, but he immediately asked Yang Sichang which side of the officers and soldiers were transferred to the guard. Yang Sichang immediately said that he wanted to transfer Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanding's Shaanxi troops to the guard as soon as possible.
Chongzhen also asked what to do in Shaanxi once Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting led the Shaanxi army to the guard.
Yang Sichang replied that he could order Zheng Chongjian, the current governor of Ningxia and the right servant of the Ministry of War, to take charge of suppressing Li Zicheng and other people's army in Shaanxi as the governor of the three sides.
After thinking about it, Chongzhen felt that this was the only way to do it now, so he had to order a decree, quickly dispatching Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanding to lead troops into the capital, and at the same time issued an edict to let people go to Henan to recruit Xiao Tianjian.
Of course, Chongzhen did not forget to order the officers and soldiers of Hebei to strictly prevent the Xing Tianjun from going north. In short, this time, he could not let Xing Tianjun take this opportunity to develop to the north. In addition, he also issued a secret order to order the officers and soldiers around Henan to continue to take advantage of this opportunity to find ways to recover the lost land in Henan.
When Xiao Tianjian got the news that when the court again made an edict to comfort him, he sneered.
"I had expected that today's emperor would come up with this way to deal with the current situation. Sure enough, they wanted to treat them in their own way, and in turn, they would stand at the high point of morality! Pull this game!"
Niu Jinxing, Li Xin, Li Jinde and others nodded repeatedly. In fact, this time, Xiao Tianjian issued an announcement that he wanted to temporarily suspend troops from the court and resist foreign aggression was mainly proposed by Xiao Tianjian. After listening to it, they found that Xiao Tianjian's move was really brilliant, and they immediately put Xing Tianjun. As for the highest point of morality, it has grasped the initiative of folk public opinion. No matter what the court does, it will not please both sides. At the same time, it also forced the court to the ground, which made the court have to work hard to fight against Jiannu.
When Xiao Tianjian put forward this idea, these brain-eating counselors all applauded their hands on this plan, and they did not dare to underestimate Xiao Tianjian in their hearts. If it were not for the great wisdom, they would not have come up with such a way, so in addition to admiration, the rest of them was to Xiao Tian. Jian is in awe.
And Xiao Tianjian is somewhat ashamed of this, because to some extent, he still learned from the method of a great man in later generations and put the national righteousness in the front, so that he occupied the moral commanding heights.
However, he also knows that after this method is used, the court will definitely find a trick. The only way for the court is to sacrifice his magic weapon. If he refuses to accept Zhao'an, the court will take back the initiative and publicize his Xiao Tianjian's unwillingness to recruit him, and put him Xiao Tianjian. He is said to be a famous little man, and in this way, he has solved his cruel move.
However, they have already discussed this matter, and have formed a consensus among the senior management of Xing Tianjun that they can agree to Zhao'an, but to solve the matter of Zhao'an through negotiation, when this matter develops to this point, it is not only a military matter, but also a matter. It has developed into a war of public opinion.
Therefore, just after the court announced the intention to recruit Xing Tianjun, Xing Tianjun immediately began to declare with great fanfare that as long as Xiao Tianjian and even Xing Tianjun could accept the recruitment of slaves in order to resist foreign aggression and build slaves, but the court needed the court to send someone to discuss how to recruit security.
In fact, Xiao Tianjian did this by using a procrastination formula, because everyone knows that Zhao'an is not a trivial matter. Even if Xing Tianjun accepts Zhao'an, he always has to negotiate the conditions first. No matter how profound the justice is, it is impossible for Xing Tianjun to accept Zhao'an directly without saying anything. He must negotiate the conditions. Let's talk about accepting recruitment.
Therefore, Xing Tianjun said that he agreed to accept recruitment in principle, and the matter of resisting foreign aggression was soon publicized, and new notices were posted in various places, indicating the attitude of Xing Tianjun, but there is also a premise that the imperial court and local government must also stop the military action against Xing Tianjun at the same time. Otherwise, the court is not sincere about the matter of Zhao'an.
Of course, such a reaction was quickly fed back to the Beijing Normal University. After hearing this, Chongzhen was furious again. After discussing with the ministers, he felt that this matter needed to be taken up. After the agreement, he ordered the current governor of Henan and Xing Tianjun to contact him to discuss the recruitment of Xing Tianjun.
However, with the communication speed of this era, if such a thing really unfolds, even if the messenger sends messages day and night, it will be more than a month in a blink of an eye.
During this period, the enslave army who entered the bandits was not idle. Dorgo and Yue Tuo led a large army all the way, and had already penetrated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Along the way, they attacked the city and burned and looted it. Later, they saw that the Ming army was really weak, and few Ming troops dared to stop them at all, so they simply divided them into eight. The road began to attack deeper into the territory of Daming, as if it were in a no-man's land.
Although Chongzhen had to change some ideas about the entry of the Jiannu army because of Xiao Tianjian's unexpected action, the director's army raised the eunuch did not dare to lead his troops to find the Jiannu army to seek a decisive battle with it at all. Therefore, in addition to Lu Xiangsheng, he was also leading a limited number of soldiers and horses under his command to continue to build around Beijing. In addition to the fierce battle of the slave army, all kinds of royal troops did not fight a decent battle at all.
And Lu Xiangsheng was indignant about this. He repeatedly sent people to find Gao Qiqian and asked Gao Qiqian to cooperate with his actions to prevent the Jiannu Army from continuing to rage in the Jingfu area. However, Gao Xiangsheng did not listen to Lu Xiangsheng's words at all, and continued to control the 50,000 Guanning army in his hands, only He just led the army into a group and followed the buttocks of the Jiannu army in Hebei. He didn't dare to take the initiative to find a fighter and fight with the Jiannu army.
On the contrary, in order to prevent Lu Xiangsheng from making great achievements, he secretly tried his best not to allocate food and salaries to Lu Xiangsheng's department, so that the more than 10,000 officers and soldiers under Lu Xiangsheng had to fight with the Jiannu army every day. In this way, Lu Xiangsheng's soldiers and horses suffered great losses.
