Chapter 1190 Wu Lin wants to unify the order
Although it is true that everyone is not so satisfied with Zhao Tan, and although it is true that everyone despised Zhao Tan for not being able to defeat the Ming Kingdom and losing face many times, Zhao Tan is at least not a surrendering faction.

Zhao Tan has struggled hard in the end, and he is also an orthodox ruler who has been recognized by everyone, a serious emperor. Although his ability is not very good, his will is still strong.

What are you Shen Ging?
You are just a minister of justice, and you actually betrayed the emperor, deposed the emperor, and made peace with the Ming Kingdom privately, so that the Song Dynasty lost even the country name?

When they first heard the news, all Sichuan and Shu officials were furious and felt that Shen should be a complete traitor.

It is unforgivable that he betrayed the Great Song Dynasty, betrayed the emperor, and stole the control of the Lin'an court and made peace with the Ming Kingdom.

They want [Xing Wang Shi, seek Lin'an], [Punish the traitor, Zhongxing Da Song].

The slogan was shouted loudly, and the will of the officials in Sichuan and Shu was also boiling. At one time, there was a great momentum to send troops out of Sichuan to attack Lin'an.

But as the main person in charge, Wu Lin's head is always sober.

He knows that talking about crusades against national thieves at this time is just giggles, and there is no possibility of realizing it. If you want to achieve something, you must first unify the internal voice.

In the current situation, only by unifying the internal voice can we achieve true self-protection, otherwise we will not be able to even do self-protection.

So Wu Lin decided to invite five pacification envoys from Lizhou East Road, Lizhou West Road, Kuizhou Road, Zizhou Road and Chengdu Fu Road, as well as the top leaders of the states, prefectures, and armies under their jurisdiction to come to Chengdu for a meeting.

First, unify the orders, and then unify the coordination of materials and personnel. First, do a good job in defense, and then discuss how to deal with the current situation.

It is still unclear what Lin'an thinks about Chuanshu, and whether the Ming Dynasty has any plans for Chuanshu, anyway, we must not sit still.

No one knows the urgency of the current situation better than Wu Lin.

The original appeasement envoys on Lizhou East Road and Lizhou West Road were Yao Zhong and Wang Yan. Now both of them have died in battle. When they were transferred, the court did not have time to appoint new appeasement envoys, so their subordinates temporarily appeased them. make the post.

At present, the acting appeasement envoy of Lizhou East Road is Yao Zhong's subordinate Yao Zhi, the appeasement envoy of Lizhou West Road is Wang Yan's subordinate Lu Shimin, the appeasement envoy of Kuizhou Road is Li Shiyan, Wu Lin's former subordinate, and the appeasement envoy of Zizhou Road. It was Ma Yongkang, a scholar from the imperial court.

The Sichuan appeasement envoy and Chengdu prefect has just been transferred by the imperial court, and a new one has not been transferred, so there is no actual chief on Chengdu Road.

It doesn't matter. The prefects, prefectures, and prefects below are the same. They need to do things anyway. As long as they accept this crisis situation, they can talk about everything.

When all of them were ready for the meeting, it was the end of October in the fifth year of Hongwu. Wu Lin had been training for more than three months, and he was training a group of recruits a little bit, and the military defense of Chuanshu was no longer there. So nervous.

After the local officials arrived in Chengdu, they held a meeting in the prefect of Chengdu, headed by Wu Lin. The main content of the meeting was to elect a person with sufficient prestige as the current military and political director of Sichuan and Shu. This is a realistic need.

Regarding this point, the officials also know that this is indeed a real need. When even the emperor is gone, everyone really needs a unified voice and people to make a decision, so that everyone's safety and interests can be guaranteed.

And the officials also knew that the reason why Wu Lin invited everyone to come was obviously to let everyone recommend him and let him order Sichuan and Shu in a logical and unimpeded manner.

As a matter of fact, as the envoy of Sichuan Xuanfu, Wu Lin did have the qualification to command Sichuan and Shu.

In the traditional sense, as a military commander, Wu Lin's command qualifications are only valid in the North Sichuan Military Region, and the North Sichuan Mountain Military Region also mainly uses military commanders as civilians. Borderland military commanders and mainland military commanders are indeed different in terms of power and status.

However, after entering the wealthy area of ​​the Chengdu Plain, the words of the Sichuan appeasement envoys, who were mainly civil officials, were more effective.

But in this special situation, there is no appeasement in Sichuan, no emperor, the imperial court has become a lackey, and everyone does not want to admit that the lackey in the imperial court and Shen Gai, who has no prestige but is a traitor, no one is willing to obey Shen Gai's orders.

Although Shen Gai hadn't sent any orders to Chuan Shu, everyone didn't want to hear his vulgar words.

So Wu Lin's call seemed so responsive to the people's hearts that even some civil officials who had always had some opinions on Wu Lin and military generals had to accept some of their emotions and come to this meeting.

Wu Lin did not say anything at the meeting, but as his megaphone, Yao Zhi, the acting envoy of Lizhou East Road, said a lot. Then, to sum up, Wu Lin, the envoy of Sichuan propaganda and envoy, was elected to command Sichuan and Shu with a formal position. General military and political power.

Although all of you may be dissatisfied with this, but in a critical moment, Wu Lin is the only one who can lead them out of the predicament, so please put your dissatisfaction temporarily, obey Wu Lin's orders, concentrate all your strengths, and protect Sichuan and Shu.

Yao Zhi was right. At least one-third of the people present were dissatisfied with this situation. They were jinshi and civil officials, but now they had to listen to the orders of Wu Lin, a military general, and felt very uncomfortable.

But the situation is such a situation. Although they are unhappy, they have to admit that only Wu Lin can cope with the current situation. They may be able to reject Wu Lin, but they cannot cope with the situation. Only by relying on Wu Lin's military ability can they survive the crisis. .

The only literati to appease Ma Yongkang in the face of this situation has become the backbone of the Sichuan literati.

The generals naturally have nothing to say, just support Wu Lin, and many of the civil officials still plan to look at Ma Yongkang's attitude, and then consider their own position.

As a jinshi and a high-ranking official in the imperial court, Ma Yongkang has a high regard for himself, and he also has a traditional sense of superiority to military generals, and he is honest.

But in this situation, he knew very well that he was even more upset with Shen Gai than Wu Lin.

What is Shen supposed to be?
Although the two of them are not scholars in the same subject examination, their rankings in the imperial examinations are not as good as him. They just relied on mixed qualifications to get into the upper ranks, but they did not want to serve the country. They actually launched a coup to replace the emperor, and did what a country thief would do. How did this make him? Can you take this breath?
He felt that Shen Gai hated it even more, but Wu Lin looked frank and lovely in comparison.

But having said that, as a jinshi, it would be awkward for him to listen to a military general's orders, but in this situation, if civil and military disputes continue, it is obviously not a good thing, so Ma Yongkang thought about it again and again and came up with a solution to the problem.

"Wu Xianggong was originally the messenger of Sichuan, and he ordered the military and people of Sichuan to be justifiable. No one can say no. At this critical moment, Wu Xianggong stepped forward, and there was no problem."

When Ma Yongkang said this, Wu Lin was very happy and thought that Ma Yongkang was going to accept this situation.

As a result, Ma Yongkang changed the subject and revealed his true purpose.

"Wu Xianggong's commander-in-chief in Chuanshu affairs is justifiable, but there is another problem at the moment. Although the Lin'an court is controlled by Shen Kai, it can basically be called a lackey of the Ming Kingdom. Although Zhao Dun is His Majesty's son, he has always been I can't help myself, any orders from Zhao Dun at the moment are the intentions of the Ming Kingdom, and we must not follow them.

But nominally, we are still officials of the Lin'an court, and we have not set up a banner to change course. Faced with the orders of the Lin'an court, if we resisted forcefully, we would inevitably end up with a bad reputation for being wicked. Doubt? "
