Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 137 I don’t dare to think about that scene
  News soon spread that the palace wanted Wang Qi to return to Beijing.

Throughout the Forty-Nine City, both scholars and ordinary people were discussing privately, wondering what changes the court's move would bring to the newly pacified Liaodong.

Renshoufang, Liuyuan, Sijiucheng. Officials from Beijing and China often come here to drink tea, chat and exchange feelings.

Hanlin Editor, Jiang Yueguang, a common scholar, made an appointment today with two friends who were also awarded Jinshi, to drink tea and talk about Taoism.

"The Holy One has urgently called Wang Qi back to the capital! He is specially rewarded with the title of Duke. Tsk tsk tsk. The twenty-year-old Duke makes people gnash their teeth with envy!" Jiang Yueguang was wearing a blue robe and sitting on the green Under the weeping willow, I drank a cup of chai and made a sound.

On the other side, Sun Chuanting and Xue Guoguan also had strange expressions on their faces. They couldn't tell whether they were jealous or impressed.

Speaking of which, Jiang Yueguang was a court official, but Sun Chuanting and Xue Guoguan were both officials from other places. They went to the capital this time for inspection of the capital and came to the Ministry of Personnel for questioning. There was nothing to do today, so a few people came here to sit around.

"Then Yuan Chonghuan seized the opportunity and followed Lang Guogong. With his contribution to quelling the Hou Jin Dynasty, he was appointed as the inspector of Liaodong, no matter what!" Xue Guoguan looked really jealous of Yuan Chonghuan. , why is there such a big gap in official promotion?
  "I have read the detailed memorial of Dingyuan Hou circulated in the palace about the war. The isolated city of Ningyuan City was besieged by nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Houjin Eight Banners. In half a month, they attacked no less than a hundred times. Our Ming army was close to After losing half of the damage, he was able to lead the army to defend for twenty-seven days, and was supported by the Marquis of Dingyuan. He also personally killed Mao Wenlong. Based on this, he was finally awarded the title of Inspector, which is what he deserves." Sitting aside, his expression Sun Chuanting, who was the most ordinary, picked up the tea and took a sip.

"You, Sun Boya, are working so hard and don't care. Back then, you and I were ranked among the Jinshi. Among them, you, Sun Boya, were the best at talking about military affairs. Why didn't you take advantage of this Liaodong opportunity and soar into the sky? You should seize this opportunity! "Jiang Yueguang looked regretfully at Sun Chuanting, who looked opposite him with an indifferent expression.

At that time, among the six arts of a gentleman, Sun Chuanting was the leader in the art of archery. In terms of marching and fighting, his talent was so high that Jiang Yueguang was amazed. Even the emperor's master Sun Chengzong had a comment at the time: Sun Boya was good at planning. , has great talent.

Hearing Jiang Yueguang's words, Sun Chuanting just took the tea cup and sighed slightly.

He wants to!

But when Wang Qi returned to Beijing, Sun Chuanting was still serving as the county magistrate in Shangqiu, handling miscellaneous matters in the county. How could he have the opportunity to meet Duke Lang, and how could he be qualified to recommend himself?
  "I am not as good as Yuan Yuan in this matter. If we exchange identities, even if the opportunity comes, we will not be able to seize it!" Thinking of the scene of Yuan Chonghuan kneeling down to worship Wang Qi, Sun Chuanting could only smile bitterly.

The story of Yuan Chonghuan kneeling on the ground outside Donghua Gate and begging Wang Qi to take him to Liao Dynasty has been spread throughout the capital. Yuan Chonghuan's kneeling and licking behavior was scolded by countless scholars and civil servants, saying that it was a shame. The face of a scholar, a dignified scholar, saluting a red man, has already brought shame to scholars all over the world!

But what about now?

Yuan Chonghuan made great achievements in Liaodong and was appointed as the envoy. Who can say that he is not worthy?

On the contrary, when anyone talks about Yuan Jianchang now, he must give a thumbs up and call him a heroic man!

"By the way, if Duke Lang returns to Beijing, will there be new changes in the war in Liaodong? Can Xiong Tingbi, Yuan Chonghuan and others take up the banner and continue to regain the lost territory in Liaodong? Boya, what do you think?" Xue Guoguan and Jiang The two of them, Yue and Guang, looked at their classmate Jinshi, who was known for his knowledge of soldiers, and wanted to hear his opinion.

After all, the most talked about thing in Beijing these days, apart from Wang Qi's title of Duke, is this matter. With Wang Qi here, everything seems to be taken for granted, but once Wang Qi is gone and resigns, things will suddenly change!
  To be honest, Sun Chuanting has also been thinking about this matter these days. In order to study Wang Qi's layout and plan for the Houjin campaign, Sun Chuanting almost printed the entire Liaodong map in his mind, and almost all the routes that Wang Qi took were recorded in his mind. The map has been restored countless times, and Sun Chuanting is still shocked by his unbridled imagination and power of planning and decision-making.
  Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the great victory of Ningyuan was the art of war by Wang Qi alone.

So what will happen to Liaodong without Wang Qi in charge?

Sun Chuanting was a little pessimistic.

"Although the main force of the Later Jin Dynasty has been destroyed, its control over Shenyang is still there, and Shenyang City is strong and it is hundreds of miles away from Fushun and other places. The soldiers and horses of the Later Jin Dynasty can completely use Shenyang City as a stronghold to occupy Fushun and Kaiyuan. Wait for the land to confront our army and consume it." To be honest, Sun Chuanting was not optimistic about the situation in Liaodong after Wang Qi left.

After all, so far, excluding the variable Wang Qi, all other Ming Dynasty's victories against Hou Jin have been achieved by holding on to the city. They have never taken the initiative to annihilate the war. Sending troops to Shenyang to attack the remnants of the Jiannu forces is a kind of offensive battle. This is what Ming Dynasty is not good at.

After listening to Sun Chuanting's words, Jiang Yueguang and Xue Guoyong looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes.

"The imperial court should have thought about these issues, right? After all, the cabinet has Ye Shoufu, Sun Taifu, and Han Cifu sitting in charge, so it is quite measured," Jiang Yueguang said with a slight embarrassment. Apparently, he doubted the strategic vision of those cabinet ministers. .

"The imperial court's thoughts" Sun Chuanting shook his head: "They must be from a different perspective than ours."

The three of them all understood that the court's perspective lay with the cabinet, and the cabinet's perspective lay with the emperor.

Han Xu's words in the Wenhua Palace have long been known to everyone, and Emperor Tianqi has obviously been moved by Han Xu's words. After all, the emperor cares more about whether Wang Qi can be killed by him than if a few more people die in Liaodong. controlled.

The emperor's heart is unpredictable!
  Sun Chuanting was already imagining how wonderful the expression on Duke Lang's face would be when he received the news that the emperor ordered him to return to Beijing immediately.

For a moment, Sun Chuanting suddenly remembered that these days, a libretto about Emperor Gaozong of Zhao and Song Dynasties had suddenly become popular in the capital. Among them, a scene in which twelve gold medals recalled Yue Wumu was particularly loved and sought after by people.

Presumably many people are also dissatisfied: the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked, it is the emperor's scheme.

Xue Guoguan put down the tea cup and didn't know what he thought of. Suddenly there was a trace of schadenfreude on his face: "At that time, if Wang Qi returns to Beijing, the war in Liaodong will go smoothly. If Wang Qi leaves Liao, our army will be defeated on the front line. Then. There is no room for the respect of the nobles in the imperial court and cabinet. Will you beg Duke Lang to go to Liao again? I don’t dare to think about that scenario."

"It's not like this, it's not like this!" Jiang Yueguang was startled for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, hurriedly picked up the tea cup and said, "Let's not talk anymore, let's taste tea, taste tea, good oolong tea. "
