In the imperial palace of Nanjing City, Zhu Yujian summoned the ministers to discuss and solve the matter of the Xichuan soldiers mutiny and occupation of Jingzhou.Today, the Longwu court has just lost nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses, and its vitality is greatly damaged, while there are Qing troops in the north of the Yangtze River, there are Zhejiang warlords, entrenched in Yangzhou to confront the imperial court, and Wu Yue Fan is eyeing Nanjing, and the situation in the south of the Yangtze River is very tense.In this case, if there is a problem with Huguang in the west, then Zhu Yujian is really anxious and doesn't know how to deal with it.At this time, in the study, Zhang Tongchang, who had been reused, said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is only one way to solve the current dilemma!"
”Zhu Yujian pressed his forehead with one hand and said in a deep voice: "Try to say it!"
”Zhang Tongchang said: "Activate the main battle faction, declare war on the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and prepare for the Northern Expedition!"
”Zhu Yujian frowned, "The imperial court is now strong, and it is still difficult to protect itself, so why talk about the Northern Expedition?"
”Zhang Tongchang said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court did not immediately go on a northern expedition, but in the name of the Northern Expedition, to transfer the pressure on the imperial court caused by the Zhejiang army, Wu Yue Domain, and Xichuan Domain.As long as the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty went to war, Xichuan would be pinned down by Wu Sangui in Hanzhong, and the attention of the Zhejiang army and Wu Yue would also turn to the north, and the imperial court would have a chance to breathe. ”Zhu Yujian's eyes lit up, and he pondered for a moment, "The Qing family's words are feasible!"
”Zhu Yujian couldn't help but get up from the throne, paced back and forth in the study, and then stopped, nodded and said: "Hype up the Northern Expedition, create confrontation between the north and the south, and use the external pressure of the Manchu Qing Dynasty on the Ming Dynasty to divert the contradictions."
However, in order to turn the attention of the Zhejiang army, Wu Yue Domain, and Xichuan Domain to the north, the imperial court must first ease the conflict with them.Now, I have reconciled with Zhao Bo'an and Zhu Yihai, and only the Xichuan Domain remains. ”Speaking of this, Zhu Yujian looked at Zhang Tongchang and Yang Wencong and asked, "Have you chosen the person to be sent to Huguang to appease the Xichuan soldiers?"
”Yang Wencong saluted and said: "Back to Your Majesty, it's decided!"
But~" "But what?
”Zhu Yujian frowned.Yang Wencong said: "The person recommended by the minister is Yan Qiheng, the former squire of the military department, who was sent by the cabinet department to envoy Xichuan, and has some intersections with Sun Kewang and the generals of Xichuan!"
”Zhu Yujian pondered for a while, remembering that in order to pull Sun Kewang to fight against the Qing army in Sichuan, he sent Yan Qiheng to Yungui, and privately promised to be crowned the king, which made Zhu Yujian furious.At that time, Yan Qiheng and Plug Yinxi were demoted together, and later Plug Yinxi seized He Tengjiao's military power, Longwu could only reuse Plug Yinxi, Yan Qiheng was reinstated, and he became a soldier in the army, but with the removal of the main battle faction, Yan Qiheng fell into bad luck again and was demoted by the court again.Zhu Yujian only knew that Yan Qiheng was demoted from the imperial court, but he didn't know where he was demoted, so he said: "Where the others are, immediately reinstate, and order them to go to Huguang to appease the mutinous Xichuan soldiers."
Get Jingzhou back. ”Yang Wencong saluted, buckled his head and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!"
”Zhu Yujian was puzzled for a moment and asked, "Why did the Qing family say this?"
”Yang Wencong said in a low voice: "Two years ago, Yan Qiheng was demoted from the military department to Ji'an, Jiangxi Province to be a fellow governor, and he was still on the road, so he changed to Guangxi Taiping to be a county magistrate, and then he was demoted to Wenchang, Qiongzhou to be a county magistrate.Half a year ago, Yan Qiheng resigned and returned to his hometown on the grounds of illness, and went to Shanyin, Zhejiang to live in seclusion.The minister wrote to him and asked him to come back, but he couldn't get sick!
”Zhu Yujian's face gradually gloomy, two years from the deputy ministerial-level officer, to the county, and continued to be degraded, from Nanjing, to Jiangxi, from Jiangxi to Guangxi, and then to Qiongzhou, almost all the time spent on the road.In ancient times, it was not easy to go far away, which was clearly rectifying people and trying to consume people to death on the road.Zhu Yujian couldn't help but be furious: "Who did this!"
”Zhang Tongchang and Yang Wencong did not speak, because the initiators were Zhu Yujian and He Tengjiao.Although Zhu Yujian did not give a direct order, He Tengjiao dared to do so because of his support and trust.Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Zhu Yujian understood in his heart, couldn't help but be silent for a while, walked back to the throne and sat down, and sighed: "It seems that Yan Aiqing has a grudge against the imperial court!"
Anyway, I will personally issue an order to recruit him into the court. ”Huguang, Yuezhou Mansion, Baling.Baling County is where the capital of Yuezhou is located.Although Yuezhou is the gateway to Sanxiang, the traffic in Huguang is crucial, and personnel exchanges are frequent, but in the past two months, there have been many more people coming and going to Yuezhou, and they are all big people.Since 1655, the first month, people have come to Yuezhou from time to time, and the people are all kinds of people, and most of them are officials.These people came to Yuezhou, not to climb Yueyang Tower, not to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Dongting, they traveled thousands of miles, and some even came from Nanjing, not for anything else, but to visit one person, that is, the main battle faction boss who lived in seclusion on Junshan Island, the former Wenyuan Pavilion University scholar Du Yinxi.This is busy Baling Zhi County, the people who come are either famous gentry, or officials who are bigger than him, each of them can not be offended, where the Shangguan has to accompany him, the affairs of the county are almost deserted, and the adults will be accompanied to Junshan Island in three days.On the first day of the second month, Xu Keyi, the county governor of Baling, was resting in the county office, and the official suddenly came to report, saying that a court official had arrived at the post station.Xu Keyi asked the newspaper, and couldn't help complaining in his heart, what is this?
The old man has lived on Junshan Island for two years, and in the past, except for Liu Tichun, the chief soldier of Xiangyang, he sent something from time to time, but he didn't see anyone coming.It's not a New Year's holiday now, so why suddenly a swarm of people came over, just like rushing to the market.Xu Keyi was very reluctant in his heart, but complaining was complaining, so he hurried to the post station to receive the officials from the imperial court.Xu Keyi is just a county magistrate and can't get in touch with the major affairs of the imperial court, but judging from the direction of the wind, Xu Keyi can also see a little bit that the imperial court is going to use the old pavilion again.The big man who came to Baling was none other than Yan Qiheng, the military servant who had just been revived by the imperial court.He was ordered to go to Huguang to deal with the mutiny of the Xichuan soldiers.Yan Qiheng rushed to Huguang from Nanjing, and did not go to Jingzhou to deal with the Xichuan mutiny at the first time, but hurriedly came to Yuezhou to meet his old superior, Gu Yinxi.At this time, on the lake boat heading to Junshan, Yan Qiheng stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the vast Dongting Lake, Xu Yi stood behind him, and couldn't help but have the courage to test it: "As soon as the adults arrive in Huguang, they come to visit the old man who is blocked by the pavilion, which is really admirable!"
”Yan Qiheng stood at the bow of the boat and couldn't help laughing: "The Pavilion Department is the pillar of the imperial court, and it is also the old official of the official. ”Saying that, Yan Qiheng glanced at Xu Keyi and said, "There are a lot more people who have visited the pavilion elder recently!"
”Xu Keyi complained a little: "It's really a lot, Baling has been eaten poor in order to receive all the officials!"
”Yan Qiheng said."
It's just this moment, gritting your teeth and standing tall, it's not bad for you."
After hearing this, no matter how stupid Xu Yi is, he understands.Since Du Yinxi went to Junshan Island to live in seclusion, someone above hinted at him to monitor Du Yinxi's every move, and he did the same.Now it seems that the wind direction of the imperial court may be changing again.This made Xu Keyi's heart startled, there is no doubt that the old man is going to be resurrected, it seems that he has to hurry up and let people send some local products to the cabinet department, one is to tie the knot, and the other is to let these adults who came to Junshan to visit the old man know that Baling County has always taken care of the old man, otherwise let these adults know that Baling County has neglected the old man, and any one person can kill him.()
