Chapter 1497: The country is in turmoil and misses loyal ministers The Kyoshi is getting hot.
The complete loss of Liaodong has caused an uproar in the world.
In a sense, once Liaodong is lost, this is equivalent to the Ming Dynasty completely losing a barrier, not to mention that Liaodong is not a desert, where the fertile soil is thousands of miles, the military significance is great, and the economic role is also huge.
At the beginning, in order to consolidate Liaodong, the imperial court expanded countless military towns in Liaodong, used countless manpower and material resources, and stationed countless military horses, but now, it is completely buried.
It is even possible that in ten or twenty years' time, an enemy as terrible as the Tatars will appear there, which will greatly increase the burden of the Great Masters.
Previously, I had only heard of the rebellion, but when the rebels appeared on the front line of Jinzhou, this made people wake up like a dream, and all the departments of the imperial court had become a pot of porridge, and the controversy was extremely great.
As a result, the imperial court had to add a court meeting to discuss the matter.
Li Dongyang's mind has been very restless recently, all his previous thoughts have been on how to make the clan extinct, the internal struggle in the imperial court, but because of this external trouble, was completely interrupted, Li Dongyang is a rational person after all, of course he understands that the trouble of this rebellion is more important, at this time he had to put down the layout for the clan, and set his sights on Liaodong.
Early this morning, the court meeting began under the chairmanship of Li Dongyang.
Almost all the officials of the DPRK and China had already arrived, and several princes in Beijing were also present, and the DPRK envoy in Beijing also participated in the court meeting with great concern.
Obviously, this is not a good thing for anyone, first of all, the complaint of the household department is the most, although the salary of Liaodong is less, but the tax of Liaodong is gone, this is not enough, the loss of Liaodong this important town, it is necessary to add money and food, recruit more sergeants, stick to the Jinzhou line, in recent years, the deficit of the household department has become more and more serious, and then go on like this, you can only raise taxes, but to increase taxes, related to all aspects, how easy it is to talk about Here in the military department, there are also heavy losses, which goes without saying; As for the other tribes, they are also in turmoil.
Zhu Houzhao naturally wanted to participate in such an important matter, in fact, he knew before that this court discussion was not so much to solve the Liaodong issue as to discuss the aftermath.
How to strengthen the defense of Jinzhou, and how to compensate the loyal ministers and martyrs who died in Liaodong, in essence, in fact, the imperial court has acquiesced to this fact, and is unable to consider Liaodong for the time being, because the latest report is that the scouts of the Tatar department have become more and more frequent, and it is very likely to attack at any time.
Obviously, compared to the Liaodong Rebellion, the upcoming war with the Tatars was the most important thing for the entire Ming Dynasty at the moment.
There is a priority in things, but Zhu Houzhao still feels very annoyed, as the Son of Heaven, he actually lost Liaodong, which is of such great strategic significance, which has obviously become a heart disease that he can't hide, so since this court discussion, he has been silent, only occasionally casting his eyes on Ye Chunqiu, revealing a little worried.
Ye Chunqiu's mood was heavy, if you look closely at his eyes, you will find that his dark circles are very serious, he has not slept well for many days, although he is standing upright in this hall, he has been listening absentmindedly At this time, I heard Li Dongyang say: "Princes, this Yang Yu rebellion, it is reported that Governor Ye Jing has been killed, Governor Ye is a loyal minister of the imperial court, and now there are no bones, it is really pitiful and lamentable, the old man thinks that the imperial court should give some compensation to calm the hearts of the people in the world." ” Anxious to compensate, is also Li Dongyang's idea that it is safe, now everyone is in danger, there are rumors everywhere, rewarding some loyal ministers and martyrs, can spread the news to Liaodong, show the imperial court's attention to it, thus inspiring, can also greatly shake the morale of the front-line officers and soldiers in Jinzhou, so that they can sit back and relax, peace of mind, and suppress thieves.
For a moment, the temple fell silent.
Is Ye Jing dead?
Ye Chunqiu, who had been expressionless, raised his eyes in shock, although he had already been mentally prepared, he was still startled by Li Dongyang's words, and at this time, he looked at Li Dongyang with a nervous expression.
When Zhu Houzhao heard Li Dongyang's words, he suddenly became energetic, he beat his fingers, glanced at Ye Chunqiu worriedly, and said, "I haven't heard the news of Ye Aiqing's martyrdom yet. ” Li Dongyang sighed and said, "The old minister also hopes that Governor Ye will be safe, but I received a report this morning, and I learned about it, hey."
After the rebellion, Yang Yin, the commander of Liaohaiwei in Liaodong, heard the news and knew that Liaodong was not safe, so he withdrew to Jinzhou overnight. ” Saying that, Li Dongyang took out this morning's report and said: "This is his report to the Ministry of War, which describes the thief's situation, saying that Yang Yu colluded with the Jurchens, and suddenly attacked, and suddenly Liaodong was in chaos like a pot of porridge, Yang Yu made people occupy Liaoyang, sent troops to kill the governor's yamen, killed seventy-nine people, and the rest of the people, all surrendered to Yang Thief. ” Seventy-nine people were killed What's more, I didn't get the news of Ye Jing's surrender, if Ye Jing surrendered Yang Yu, then Yang Yu would inevitably publicize and make a lot of noise, it is impossible for the court not to get the news here, since there is no surrender, the governor's yamen has been served in one pot, and so many people have died, presumably Ye Jing also Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel angry, no matter what, the governor is the imperial envoy of the imperial court, and he is the right deputy imperial envoy of the Imperial Palace, which is almost a step into the ranks of high-ranking officials in the temple, but Ye Jing is in this rebellion When many people felt sorry for Ye Jing, Li Dongyang said again: "This Yang Yin still has a report, saying that it is based on the rumors of his coming, that Yang Yu captured the governor Ye Jing and asked him to surrender, Ye Jing refused, Yang Yu gritted his teeth, deeply hated, and wanted to threaten him with death, Ye Jing denounced him as a national thief, this Yang Yu was ashamed, so he was annoyed and ashamed, so he killed him on the spot, Ye Jing was killed, and he was still scolded, his fierceness is rare in people. ” The ministers were terrified.
In fact, the scene at that time can be roughly made up by everyone's brain.
As for whether this rumor is true or not, it doesn't really matter anymore.
At present, the most important thing for the imperial court is to set up a banner, the so-called poor family thinks of a good wife, and the country is in turmoil and misses loyal ministers, under the current situation in Liaodong, a loyal minister is of great significance.
Ye Chunqiu's face suddenly became gloomy.
These days, although he is trying to cover it up, but his heart is extremely uncomfortable, he doesn't need how brave his father is, or how strong he is, he would rather Ye Jing save his life in order to survive, because this is his dearest, someone who can't be kissed.
Ye Chunqiu just wanted him to live well aa2705221:
