Chapter 858: Canonization of Wu Sangui


In the Yangzhou Palace, Zhao Ming, who had just returned, convened a cabinet meeting.At this time, Zhao Ming, who took a bath and changed into clothes, appeared in the main hall.Chen Mingyu, Du Yinxi and others immediately stood up to greet them, "Your Highness!

”Zhao Ming sat down in the middle hall and waved his hand: "Sit down!"

”After a few people sat down, Zhao Ming immediately asked, "What about the news from Guanzhong?"

”Du Yinxi said: "Back to Your Highness, I have sent it back." ”Zhao Ming bowed slightly, "Let's talk about it!"

Why is Wu Sangui in a hurry to claim the title?

”Du Yinxi took out a secret fold and presented it to Zhao Ming, "Your Highness is not in Yangzhou, and the Military Intelligence Department will send it to the cabinet first." ”At this time, Zhao Ming watched and listened to Gu Yinxi's explanation: "At the beginning of the year, Wu Sangui led the Zhou army to cavalry, and Jiang Xiang of Shanxi Province jointly attacked the Mongolian tribes in the Hetao area, incorporated the middle and front sets into the territory, and subdued more than 100,000 Mongols there.However, a leader of the Mongol tribe fled to Moxi.Two months ago, Wu Sangui received news that the Mongol chieftain who had fled to Moxi was contacting the Mongol tribes in Moxi with the intention of attacking Guanzhong.Wu Sangui decided to take the initiative to attack Moxi, fearing that Guanzhong would be empty and attacked by the imperial court, so in order to avoid falling into a two-front war, he was eager to declare himself a vassal to the imperial court, so as to fight against Moxi Mongolia with all his might. ”Zhao Ming listened and watched, he had fully understood, he closed the secret letter and asked: "Now that Sun Kewang is in Yangzhou, do you gentlemen think you should accept Zhou Guo as a vassal, or refuse?"

”Several cabinet scholars discussed a few words, and Chen Mingyu said, "Your Highness."

In the land of Guanzhong, there are Tongguan and Hangu, and Bashu is even more difficult to walk.Wu Sangui has Bashu Guanlong, and the location is advantageous, and it is not easy for the government and the opposition to attack.Now Wu Sangui sent troops to Moxi, and Guanzhong was empty, which was indeed an opportunity for the imperial court. ”Zhao Ming bowed slightly, but in his heart, he didn't want to attack Zhou Guo, so he asked, "Mr.

Plug also sees it this way?"

”Du Yinxi groaned: "What Chen Ge said is reasonable, now is indeed a good opportunity to attack Guanzhong.However, the minister thought that it was also a good opportunity to recover Beijing. ”Zhao Ming smiled and said, "What do you say?"

”Du Yinxi said in a deep voice: "The minister thinks that in the attack, it is better to recover Shenjing!"

”Du Yinxi paused and continued: "There are three reasons for the minister!

First, although Guanzhong is empty, there are Tongguan and Hangu solid, and the imperial court may not be able to attack Guanzhong in a short time.Second, if the imperial court sends troops to attack the Zhou state, Azig will definitely send troops south to relieve the siege of the Zhou state, so the imperial court might as well attack Azig, accept Wu Sangui as a vassal, and sweep away Azig when the Zhou army is held back by the Mongols!

”Zhao Ming nodded, blocking Yinxi's words was exactly what he thought.Although the Ming army had cast a siege cannon, the role of that cannon was limited.The first is that the bombardment interval is too long, just like the Ottomans bombarding Constantine with a giant cannon, which is actually not very effective.The second is that the transportation is slow, and now it takes two or three months to transport from Zhenjiang to Tongguan, and Henan is still in the hands of the king of Liangshun, and so on all the way over, I am afraid that it will be half a year.This means that Wu Sangui may have ended the war with the Mongols before the Tongguan Pass was breached.In this way, Zhao Ming lost the opportunity in vain.Moxi Mongolia is also a threat to Zhao Ming, Zhao Ming really didn't want to stab Wu Sangui when he attacked Mongolia.Seeing that everyone was bowed, Du Yinxi immediately continued: "Third, the Zhou army is now attacking Moxi Mongolia, and the imperial court refuses to call the Zhou army a vassal, and attacks the Zhou army from behind, which is equivalent to helping the Mongols.Although it is said that in order to win, it is impossible to be benevolent, but the minister thinks that it is still not time to attack the Zhou army at this time. ”Zhao Ming smiled and bowed his head, "Not bad!"

Attacking the Zhou State can be done at any time, and there is no need to make a move when Wu Sangui attacks Mongolia.Moreover, King Gu ordered that Wu Sangui immediately send a messenger to claim the domain, and Gu had no reason to refuse.In the end, Azig did not express any of Gu's national letters, and he did not even send an envoy, so he really did not take Gu and the court seriously. ”Zhao Ming looked around at everyone and said loudly: "I have made up my mind, accept Wu Sangui's feelings of being a vassal, and recruit soldiers from various towns to gather in Yangzhou, prepare for the Northern Expedition, and recover Shenjing!"

”When several cabinet scholars heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little excited in their hearts."

Whoa!"

Everyone bowed in unison.Zhao Ming immediately stood up, waved his fist and said, "Go and do it!"

”At that moment, the cabinet drafted a decree for Zhao Ming, requisitioning the towns of Huguang and Gannan, and requisitioning the naval armies of the Han State and Yanping Domain, preparing to go on the expedition.For a time, more than ten teams of cavalry with flags on their backs rushed out of Yangzhou and began to give orders to all parts of the world.The next day, Yangzhou Palace.Zhao Ming sat in the regency hall, standing on both sides, civil and military officials.The state of Zhou, which owned the land of Guanlong and Bashu, was a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, which can be said to be an exciting event for the Ming Dynasty.Therefore, Zhao Ming summoned the ministers to the palace and asked the civil and military officials to witness together, and the Zhou State proclaimed himself a minister.This will inevitably make Zhao Ming's prestige reach a peak.At this time, Sun Kewang walked up to the main hall and saw two or three hundred people standing on both sides, and even the petty officials of the sixth or seventh rank also came to join in the fun.Zhao Boan did it on purpose!

When Sun Kewang saw such a scene, he couldn't help but twitch the muscles at the corners of his mouth."

The ministers of the Zhou Kingdom are the prime ministers, and the grandson can be expected, meet His Royal Highness the regent of the Ming Dynasty, His Royal Highness Chitose, Chitose, Chitose!"

Sun Kewang walked to the center of the hall and knelt down in humiliation under the gaze of more than three hundred pairs of eyes.For more than ten years, Sun Kewang has knelt down with Zhang Xianzhong, knelt with Wu Sangui, and now another person has to kneel down with him, which makes Sun Kewang, who thinks highly of himself in his heart, feel extremely humiliated.Zhao Ming was full of smiles, immersed in his tiger power and the joy of spreading the world.At this time, beside Zhao Ming, the eunuch Pang Tianshou, immediately unfolded the decree and read it aloud, "The regent system said: Wu Sangui, the former Ming Pingxibo, endured humiliation and burden, was loyal and courageous, fought back, broke the slave chieftain between Guanlong, recovered the land of Shaanxi and Bashu, and made great contributions to the imperial court.Today, the prime minister is expected to enter the court and sincerely return.Lonely heard of great joy, on behalf of the emperor canonized Wu Sangui as the king of Zhou, Wangqing helped Gu Zhongxing Ming, Yang Wei Western Regions, for the national and dynasty barrier, Wangqing is a matter of respect, trying to repay the strange grace, Qin this. ”After Pang Tianshou finished reading it, he slowly closed it, held it in front of Sun Kewang with both hands, and said with a smile: "Sun Guoxiang, take the edict." ”After listening to the edict, Sun Kewang couldn't help frowning, could it be that Zhao Ming already knew the purpose of Zhou Guo's ministership?

But he actually knew why Zhao Ming agreed to Zhou Guo as a vassal, did he think that Zhou Guo would really give in?"

Sun Guoxiang?"

Pang Tianshou reminded in a whisper.Sun Kewang reacted, hurriedly picked up the edict with both hands, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Minister Sun Kewang, acting minister, thank His Royal Highness the Prince Regent for his great kindness!"

”Zhao Ming bowed his head with satisfaction, "The Qing family is flat!"
