I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 119 Change of mentality (for subscription)

"Your Majesty, Yang Lian was just promoted to the position of Zuo Deputy Capital Censor in October, and now he is also appointed as the governor of Liaodong. Is it too hasty?"

Shen Guan was the first to feel something was wrong. Yang Lian was promoted so quickly. Didn't this increase Donglin's power greatly?

"Your Majesty, the appointment was inappropriate. Yang Lian was originally to appease Liaodong. He was not familiar with things in Liaodong before. If he was appointed hastily, I am afraid that it will not only be unhelpful to the war in Liaodong, but also harmful."

Unexpectedly, Han Xu also stood up to object at this time, and what he said was reasonable. Yang Lian was not familiar with things in Liaodong, so it was really inappropriate to appoint him rashly.

"Then who does Han Aiqing think is suitable for the position of governor of Liaodong?"

When Han Xu saw the emperor asking him a question, he hesitated for a moment and replied:
"Your Majesty, I think that Wang Huazhen, the right counselor of Liaodong, is suitable. He was originally stationed in Guangning. During his tenure, he appeased Mongolia and won the hearts of the people of western Liaoning. He can be appointed governor of Liaodong. He and Xiong Tingbi will support each other."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Yishui's eyelids jumped and he lowered his head and said nothing.When Shen Guan heard this, he also looked at Liu Yishen with a playful look on his face.

"Wang Huazhen."

Zhu Youxiao naturally knows this.

Historically, after the Battle of Liaoshen, this person was appointed governor of Liaodong, but he did not get along with Xiong Tingbi, who was restored to his original post.Blindly trusting the Mongols, he also believed that Li Yongfang and other surrendered generals could serve as his internal collaborators, and advocated taking the initiative to attack.

As a result, they listened to the traitor Sun Degong's plan. During the battle, Sun Degong and his general Bao Chengxian took the lead in escaping. The Ming army was defeated and Guangning fell.What is even more shameless is that after running back, in order to prevent the court from convicting him, he directly took refuge in Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian took the opportunity to use him to expose the Donglin Party's "corruption of Liaodong Army salaries", defeating the remaining power of the Donglin Party in one fell swoop, and allowing Xiong Tingbi to pass the first nine sides.

"Let's forget it. I'm afraid that he and Xiong Tingbi won't cooperate well and will restrict each other, so let Yang Lian do it."

Seeing that the emperor still insisted on using Yang Lian, Han Xu seemed not to give up and wanted to continue speaking, but was directly interrupted by Zhu Youxiao's words.

"Now that the governor's matter is settled and the court knows that Jianlu is going to attack, what else can the court do now? It can't be like Saarhu."

At this moment, Liu Yishen seemed a little happy. Seeing that the emperor was still anxious, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Your Majesty, you have done a good enough job. The Liaoning salary arrears have been paid, the spies in Liaodong City have been eliminated, Yang Lian has done a good job in anti-corruption, and there is an adequate supply of armaments and weapons. What's more, the imperial court also transported Krupp cannons and muskets to Guangdong. Ning, geography, people and existing things.

We will attack before spring next year. It will still be very cold in Liaodong at that time. Our army has the advantage of defending the city and the weather is good.Just leave the rest to Xiong Tingbi. "

Zhu Youxiao smiled bitterly when he said this.It's true. He's done enough. He's so anxious and worried now just because this battle is so important in his heart.

There are many people who oppose the re-employment of Xiong Tingbi and Yang Lian in Liaodong's anti-corruption campaign. Only by winning can those people's mouths be silenced.

Only by winning can Jianlu be restrained in time, otherwise Liaodong will be a bottomless pit, costing 500 million taels or more every year, which no one can bear.

But now I can only lament that he did not ascend the throne earlier, make preparations earlier, and cannot immediately summon [-] elite troops to go directly to the Liaodong front line. He can only give Xiong Tingbi the greatest financial and material support. The next step will only depend on Xiong Tingbi.

Don't ask him to win a big victory, just ask Liao and Shen not to lose, then he will win.

Seeing the emperor's expression darken, Liu Yishuo wondered if he had said something wrong. Just when he was about to stand up and admit his mistake, he saw Zhu Youxiao said:

"What Liu Aiqing said is that I am impatient. It is too late to do anything now, so I have full trust in Xiong Tingbi and Yang Lian."

When everyone heard that the emperor actually blamed himself and said that he was impatient, they quickly wanted to get up and apologize.Unexpectedly, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand to dissuade him.

"In Southwest China and Liaodong Province, a single move can affect the whole body. You must pay attention to it. When you get back, you should submit the question book immediately. I will ask the Secretary of Ceremony to supervise the draft and convey it quickly. Don't delay the matter."

"I will obey your orders!"

"Go quickly and finish all the things at hand during this period. The official seal will be sealed on the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month and will not be released until the twentieth day of the first lunar month."

Seeing that the emperor issued an order to expel guests, everyone did not dare to say anything, so they immediately resigned and returned to Wenyuan Pavilion to work.

Zhu Youxiao was left to close his eyes and meditate on the Nuange couch, thinking about how to train troops, how to wipe out the rebellion in the southwest, and how to fight the Liaodong war.But the more he thought about it, the more tired he became, and he felt like his whole body was about to sink.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding environment changed, as if it was no longer the Qianqing Palace, but turned into a battlefield in Liaodong. Suddenly, a loud explosion was heard, and a voice shouted, "Liaoyang City is broken, follow me and attack in."

He turned around and looked over, and saw that the scene had changed again, and it turned into a group of people with golden braids surrounding one person, wailing, "The Great Khan has passed away."

Just when he wanted to see who that person was, those people disappeared like mist, and a cry came from the right, "I respectfully send the Ming Emperor back to heaven!"

He turned around and saw a man in yellow robe hanging himself from a tree with a crooked neck.He stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the person, but the scene disappeared again.

Another voice came from the left, "In compliance with the imperial edict of the Ming Emperor, I inform King Felipe of Spain that you have invaded Luzon, massacred our people of the Ming Dynasty, and harassed our land of Dongyi. I have repeatedly sent envoys to inform you, but still no If you repent, you can only punish them with angry soldiers, and there are no words to prevent them.”

There were more and more sounds around, and the scene changed faster and faster. Zhu Youxiao felt dizzy and his body kept falling until he heard a "bang"!
"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

Zhu Youxiao sat up straight, sweating profusely and breathing heavily.

"This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die, please forgive me long live."

He heard the words and looked around, and found Zhang Chang waiting on the side with a wet towel in his hand.There was a palace maid next to her, kowtowing on the ground, and a copper basin and towels were scattered beside her.It seems that she accidentally knocked over the basin when she was carrying water, and then she woke up.

"Buddha bless you, Long Live the Lord is finally awake, but he scared this slave to death.

Just now you were lying on the couch with your eyes closed, and you fell asleep thinking about it. Cold sweat was pouring from your head, your brows were furrowed, and you didn’t know what to say. He Ning and I were scared to death. He Ning went to call the imperial doctor and asked the servant to be there. Watching over here. "

Zhang Chang saw Zhu Youxiao woke up and immediately shouted in surprise.

"I'm fine. Just let her get up and give me the towel."

Zhang Chang quickly took a clean warm towel and handed it to Zhu Youxiao.

After taking the towel, Zhu Youxiao put it on his face and applied it for a while. Although his head still hurt, he felt much better now.

"What time is it now?"

"Your Majesty, it is Shen Shi (three to five o'clock in the afternoon) now."

I fell asleep for an hour.The dream just now was really torturous. There were so many scenes, some from history and some that I had never seen before, all mixed together. Thinking about it now, my head still aches.

After closing his eyes and relaxing for a while, he felt much better. Zhu Youxiao felt that the Nuan Pavilion was really stuffy, so he got off the bed, washed his face, and wanted to take a walk outside the palace.

When Zhang Chang saw this, he immediately knelt down to stop him.

"Your Majesty, no, He Ning went to call the imperial doctor. He should be there soon. It's cold outside. It's better to rest in the Nuan Pavilion and wait for the imperial doctor to take a look before making a decision."

"I just had a nightmare, nothing happened. Don't worry, just go out with me for a walk. I've been so bored here that I'm almost sick from boredom."

Seeing that Zhang Chang could not defeat the emperor, he had no choice but to go out with Zhu Youxiao.

"Your Majesty, let's take a walk around Qianqing Palace."

As soon as Zhu Youxiao left the Qianqing Palace, he felt the fresh air and felt much better. Hearing Zhang Chang's suggestion, he was noncommittal and thought of a scene in his dream.

"It's still early now, let's go to Long Live Mountain to have a look."

Zhang Chang's face turned pale for a moment, and he could only call Long Chu, and also arranged for someone to hold a coat to prevent Zhu Youxiao from catching a cold.

After riding the Dragon Boat Festival, passing through Xuanwu Gate and Beishang Gate, we arrived at Long Live Mountain.

It was already winter, and the flowers, plants, and fruit trees at the foot of the mountain had already lost their leaves. It had also snowed a few days ago, leaving Long Live Mountain covered in snow.

"Zhang Chang, just bring a few people with you. The others will wait below."

During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, the soil from the excavation of the moat was accumulated here to build a tall earth mountain called "Long Live Mountain", also known as the "Zhenshan" of Ouchi.It is said that when the Forbidden City was built in the Ming Dynasty, coal was piled here, so it was commonly known as "Coal Mountain".

The reason why Zhu Youxiao came here is because there is a very famous locust tree on this mountain, which is the crooked-neck tree where Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself in history.

Zhu Youxiao led Zhang Chang and others up the steps. Long live mountain was not high, but it had just snowed, so the ground was still a little smooth.

Zhu Youxiao was in high spirits, so he was not afraid and walked quickly, but Zhang Chang was scared to death, fearing that the emperor would fall.

At first, Zhu Youxiao wanted to find the crooked-neck tree, but what was embarrassing was that there were many locust trees in Long Live Mountain. He had never been there in his previous life, and he didn't know which tree was the one.

Finding that he couldn't find it, Zhu Youxiao had no choice but to give up and continue walking to the top of the mountain.

After reaching the top of the mountain, he stood on the pavilion and looked forward. He had an unobstructed view of the entire Forbidden City and even the Imperial City. He could even see Beijing outside the Imperial City.

As expected, it is the best place in Beijing to climb up and overlook the whole city.

Seeing this scenery, Zhu Youxiao felt much better. He took a fancy to the huge Forbidden City and even Beijing, and suddenly felt a sense of pride rising in his heart.I also thought about discussing my affairs in Liaodong today and my dreams.

I thought that my dream might be a different direction of history. An event would have different results. The key depends on how to execute it.

With the knowledge of the history of the previous life as a reference, as the helmsman of the Ming Dynasty, I had no problem with the operation after time travel and avoided many minefields. If the Battle of Liaoyang was just about defense, there would naturally be no big problems.

Then why do I still worry so much about the situation in Liaodong next year?
He was also trying to figure out the puzzle in his mind. Looking at the Forbidden City and Beijing wrapped in silver before him, he seemed to have the answer and spoke it out softly.

"Maybe I need a proof to prove that I made the right choice!"

"Xiongguan Road is really like iron. Now we are crossing it from the beginning. It depends on whether we can really cross it with this step!"
