Ming politicians

Chapter 1175 The price of infighting

Su Tiancheng knew the news of Huang Degong's beheading very quickly. Apart from regret, he had no other feelings. After so many years, Su Tiancheng's views on many things were different. For example, for people like Huang Degong, it is said that They need to use all their strength to win them over, but sometimes, beheading such people will also fulfill their reputation, and it will also enable Su Tiancheng's great cause of unification to be realized as soon as possible.

The army was still divided into two groups. Su Tiancheng, Lu Xiangsheng and others led the army to directly attack Yingtian Mansion. Hong Chengchou led the army to attack Zhenjiang Mansion, Yangzhou Mansion, and Huai'an Mansion, and then launched an attack on Fengyang Mansion. It should be said that nearly 20 people were wiped out. After Wan's Ming army, the guards in Nanzhili were greatly weakened. Except for Yingtian Mansion and Fengyang Mansion, there may be some battles and killings, and there are basically no large-scale battles in other places.

The worst fate was the Ming army originally stationed in Huizhou Prefecture. After 4 people entered Zhejiang, they were detected by Zhu Shenxuan and Yang Sichang. After entering the encirclement, it only took three charges to completely defeat the Ming army. The captured Ming army was close to 3 people. These prisoners were used by Yang Sichang unceremoniously. Water conservancy facilities undergo large-scale renovations. After all, Fujian and Zhejiang have basically not repaired water conservancy facilities, which is very unfavorable to agricultural production.It is estimated that these captured Ming soldiers would never have imagined in their dreams that they would become coolies and start working with their faces facing the loess and their backs facing the sky.

As for the remaining 2000 Ming troops stationed in Huizhou Prefecture, less than [-] were able to withdraw to Nanjing City, and the rest were wiped out by the army led by Lu Xiangsheng, or surrendered.

Su Tiancheng sent all the captives to Zhejiang.It was handed over to Yang Sichang. Yang Sichang needed a lot of manpower. The construction of water conservancy facilities in Zhejiang and Fujian was fully rolled out, and what was needed was labor.

The battle to attack Yingtian Mansion slowed down.Many places here are familiar to Su Tiancheng. When he was the county magistrate in Jiangning County, he traveled through many counties, so he knows the general situation.But Hong Chengchou was different, speeding up the march. After all, he wanted to lead the army to take Zhenjiang Mansion, Yangzhou Mansion and Huai'an Mansion. No matter how much resistance he would encounter, at least the army would have to march thousands of miles.

Qin Sande already knew all the situation.In particular, the news that the 25 Ming troops in Huizhou Prefecture were all wiped out in Yuhang, Zhejiang was a fatal blow to him. The arrangement he was proud of led to a complete defeat, with 20 troops and only [-] remaining There are more than [-] troops.All were wiped out, always analyzed from the perspective of combat effectiveness.It must be unreasonable, the deployment and arrangement of operations have fatal flaws.

The main responsibility for the current situation lies with Qin Sande.

We must find a way, otherwise Qin Sande will die. [

All the preliminary preparations have been done, and the rest is to implement step by step.Although Zhu Yousong was directly responsible for issuing orders for all the later matters, Qin Sande was not idle, he was trying to relieve himself of his responsibilities, and the progress of this matter was still very good.

First of all, the memorial to suppress the battle situation was completely decided by Zhu Yousong.Qin Sande asked Zhu Yousong to be in charge of all matters and make all the decisions because of his physical discomfort. All the officials in Nanzhili knew this well, so Qin Sande couldn't be blamed for suppressing the memorial. The second is the matter of the disastrous defeat caused by mistakes in combat deployment. It must be difficult to directly shirk responsibility for this point, but Qin Sande is familiar with the situation in the palace, and it is not impossible to hide the truth. It is not the first time that the emperor has been deceived. As for Speaking of those censors and givers, if you want to talk "nonsense", you can find a way to deal with it. Jin Yiwei and Dongchang have completely controlled the public opinion in the capital. How can Sande have no way to deal with it? The most important thing here is the cabinet. Fortunately, Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant of the cabinet, has a good relationship with Qin Sande.

In the end, it is how the imperial court handles this matter. Since all the responsibilities are placed on Zhu Yousong, Zhu Yousong's ending must be very miserable. It is said that the imperial edict of the imperial court should be conveyed by the eunuch. During this process, Qin Sande Of course, you can think of a way to make Zhu Yousong unable to speak, or even to see the emperor.

There are also some officials in Nanzhili, such as Sun Tai, Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanzhili, who Qin Sande needs to deal with. Nanjing also has dark lines from Jinyiwei, and Sun Tai's dissatisfied words and actions. Can not know.

Everything is in the process of hard work.

There is already news from the palace. Wang Chengen scolded Qin Sande, and the revealed meaning is very clear. The reason why the emperor arranged for Qin Sande to go to Nanzhili is because of his trust in Qin Sande. Unfortunately, Qin Sande didn't seize the opportunity, and thought of leaving at the critical moment. This would definitely disappoint the emperor, and it might affect the emperor's trust in Jin Yiwei and Dongchang. Considering the position and the interests of many people, Wang Chengen chose to support Qin Sande.

There is also a deeper reason, Wang Chengen will not say it, the emperor has begun to worry about many relatives of the emperor, and thinks that it is not a good decision for these relatives to enter the court, especially Zhu Shenxuan's betrayal. The influence in the court was great, and it directly changed the emperor's previous thinking of trusting the emperor's relatives.Wang Chengen fully supported the emperor's decision. As for himself, he also felt that if the current trend continued, once the emperor trusted his relatives and relatives again, the status of eunuchs would also be affected.

From Wang Chengen's point of view, Zhu Yousong's ending is of course miserable.

Knowing that Wang Chengen scolded him, Qin Sande felt relieved. If Wang Chengen didn't care about this matter, it would be really dangerous. Since Wang Chengen opened his mouth, he would definitely deal with it.

The news from Zhou Yanru is not very clear, probably because Zhou Yanru didn't make a clear statement.

Qin Sande is somewhat resentful. You, Zhou Yanru, did not make a clear statement at such a critical moment, which made his heart uneasy and swayed up and down. What does this mean? After calming down and analyzing it carefully, Qin Sande understood that although Zhou Yanru did not make a clear statement, he actually supported him. If Zhou Yanru objected, there would definitely be words revealed. This is probably because Zhu Yousong is an official of the court, and Zhou Yanru is here At that time, he couldn't make a clear statement, otherwise he would show his concern for the eunuch, what would the emperor think.

When people are in a hurry, a little bit of little things will make everything worse.What's more, it is related to his own life. Qin Sande thought a lot, and implemented it step by step according to his own ideas. Up to now, he can only wait, and all the changed things have been done. .

In comparison, Zhu Yousong's feeling is much duller.

After Sun Tai reminded, Zhu Yousong also became vigilant. He originally wanted to inquire about news from the capital, but because there were too many things at hand, especially after the news of successive defeats came, in order to be able to defend Nanjing and Fengyang Mansion , Zhu Yousong can be said to have worked hard, and he can't take care of other things for the time being.

The news came successively. After the news that the [-] troops who attacked Zhejiang were defeated and almost completely wiped out, and after the news that Huang Degong was defeated, he was unwilling to surrender and "suicide", Zhu Yousong already knew that Qin Sande had done it at the beginning. All the arrangements he made failed. It can be said that more than [-] Ming troops were ruined, and a large amount of land was also lost. [

The responsibility here is very important. After making a comprehensive deployment of the defense of Nanjing and the guards of Fengyang Mansion, Zhu Yousong began to think about the size of the responsibility here. It is impossible to say that he has no responsibility at all. After all, he is the coach, but all the matters in the early stage were arranged and deployed by the supervising army Qin Sande, which is known to many officials, especially Sun Tai, Shangshu of the Ministry of War in Nanzhili, who knows the reasons behind it. , even if the court wants to deal with it, it needs to deal with Qin Sande first.

Qin Sande said he was sick, but Zhu Yousong thought it was a heart disease, but he actually thought that the court would soon be held accountable.

It was only at this time that Zhu Yousong remembered that he had not reported the battle situation in Nanzhili to the court in time, and the court did not know the specific situation. It should be said that all the battles in the first stage were over, and the focus of the next battle Turned to Nanjing and Fengyang Mansion.

The memorial was quickly written and supplemented. Zhu Yousong was hesitant to show it to Qin Sande. It was all telling the truth, without covering up the contradictions or avoiding the problem. The main contradiction here was also borne by Qin Sande. Zhu Yousong partly responsible.

After hesitating again and again, Zhu Yousong also made a selfish decision. He did not show the memorial to Qin Sande, but directly presented it to the court. After such a long time, Qin Sande always said that he was sick and did nothing. At the critical moment, it is also necessary to bear the main responsibility for the failure in the early stage.

Judging from the current stability of Nanzhili, Zhu Yousong feels good about himself. Although the situation is very tense, he has to come forward almost every day to arrange matters large and small, and he participates in person. It is to tell many officials in Nanzhili that there will be no major incidents in Nanzhili for the time being, so many officials can barely stabilize.

As for whether he can continue to stabilize Nanzhili, and whether he can hold Nanjing City, Zhu Yousong is not fully sure, but he feels that Nanjing City is the accompanying capital of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not a big problem to keep it here. Besides, after the fighting begins , the imperial court will definitely send a large number of reinforcements to reinforce, or attack Su Tiancheng. (to be continued
