Ming politicians

Zhu Youjian is also thinking about the candidate for the governor of Liaodong. It is impossible for Chen Xinjia to continue to be the governor of Liaodong, and it is impossible for Su Tiancheng to return to Liaodong, but Liaodong must have someone to preside over the overall situation. In fact, Hong Chengchou is a good candidate, but Zhu Youjian is very It was hesitation, Hong Chengchou and Su Tiancheng were too close, anyway, in Zhu Youjian's heart, he still felt that Su Tiancheng had too much power. To put it bluntly, Zhu Youjian believed that Su Tiancheng's The power has already threatened the imperial power.

Not only the candidates for the governor of Liaodong need to be adjusted, Zhu Youjian believes that the cabinet ministers also need to be adjusted. Neither Tang Shiji nor Liu Zongzhou can continue to stay in the cabinet.

In fact, for many things, the real responsibility lies with Zhu Youjian himself, but as the emperor, Zhu Youjian cannot admit his mistakes. When these things happen, someone always needs to take responsibility.

The cabinet recommended Lu Xiangsheng as the governor of Liaodong, which made Zhu Youjian very satisfied, and he made an order without hesitation.

Chen Xinjia finally waited for the imperial decree, he and Qian Qianyi were going back to the capital.

Hong Chengchou is still in Ningyuan City, and he doesn't need to go to Dalinghe City for the time being, because Su Tiancheng occupied Yongning and other places, and the later Jin Tartars took care of this and lost sight of the other. I am afraid that they have to consider the rear area. Under such a situation, Liaodong is temporarily stable. .

Chen Xinjia had already made preparations. The day before he left Ningyuan, he found Hong Chengchou and had a lot of words. He wanted to talk to Hong Chengchou, and through Hong Chengchou, he brought these words to Su Tiancheng.

"Master Hong, I will leave Liaodong tomorrow. I wonder if there will be a chance to meet again after this trip."

"My lord, you don't have to be so discouraged, there must still be a chance."

Chen Xinjia shook his head with a wry smile.

"I know that I don't have any chance. Before I leave, I have some things I want to say to Master Hong. These words must not be spread, otherwise it will be bad for Master Hong."

"What do you want to say, my lord? Just say it."

"For more than a year, I really have feelings for Liaodong. It's a pity that the good situation in Liaodong has been ruined in my hands. I must bear such a big crime. If Lord Su did not launch an attack from Dengzhou, I'm afraid Liaodong is in danger. According to my judgment, the imperial court will continue to send ministers to serve as the governor of Liaodong. In my opinion, Mr. Hong is actually the best candidate for Liaodong governor."

"The adults have won the prize."

Hong Chengchou waved his hands again and again. He knew very well that he was unlikely to be the governor of Liaodong.

Chen Xinjia's expression became a little serious.

"Lord Hong, the Houjin Tartars are already the biggest threat to our Ming Dynasty. They must be eradicated, otherwise Liaodong will not be completely peaceful. The capital city will not be stable either. The task of exterminating the Houjin Tartars is none other than Master Su." , Some time ago, I overestimated my own strength and even thought that I could shake the foundation of the Empress Jin Tartars. It caused a disastrous defeat, but now I finally understand, and I want to ask Master Hong to pass on something to Master Su."

Hong Chengchou nodded, but did not speak.

"Master Su can't just focus on exterminating the Empress Golden Tartars. You still have to pay attention to your own safety. The court is very complicated. Lord Su has led the army for a long time, and he has made great contributions. The more this is the case, the more people will discuss it. People become tigers, after a long time, the emperor may not be at ease, if the emperor starts to suspect Master Su, it will be the biggest disaster for my Ming Dynasty."

"I think Mr. Su still needs to keep in touch with the cabinet more. If you're a cunning rabbit, you're a lackey."

"If my prediction is correct, there will be an imperial decree coming to Liaodong soon. I am afraid Master Hong will leave Liaodong as well."

"Master Chen, why would you say that?"

"The disastrous defeat of the Liaodong frontier army has nothing to do with Mr. Hong, but the adults in the court may not necessarily have such a view. They will think that Mr. Hong is also responsible, and it must be inappropriate to continue to stay in Liaodong. There is another very important situation, that is, the Jiangning Camp has always been independent, and has almost no intersection with the Yulin Camp and the Frontier Army. How to manage it, so, after weighing it, Mr. Hong may have to leave Liaodong as well."

On the third day after Chen Xinjia and Qian Qianyi left Ningyuan, Lu Xiangsheng took office as governor of Liaodong.

The garrisons in Datong, Yulin, Ningxia and other places were also adjusted. Lu Xiangsheng rushed to Liaodong with [-] Yulin battalion soldiers, and Zhang Fengyi adjusted part of the Datong frontier army and stationed in Yulin.

Before Hong Chengchou had time to meet with Lu Xiangsheng, he received an imperial decree, which required him to take the Jiangning battalion soldiers stationed in Liaodong to Dengzhou, and the supervisor Qin Sande returned to the capital.

This edict caught Hong Chengchou a little off guard.

He thought of the possibility that Chen Xinjia mentioned a few days ago, and it seems that he is also responsible. So many things happened in Liaodong. As the main officials, Chen Xinjia and Qian Qianyi were removed from their official positions. He was removed from his post, but he also had to leave Liaodong.

This decree also surprised Lu Xiangsheng who had just taken office. In his opinion, the Jiangning Battalion is Liaodong's Dinghai magic needle, and its combat effectiveness is far stronger than that of the Yulin Battalion and the Frontier Army. Besides, after this disastrous defeat, Liaodong's sergeants Not much more, even if he brought 12 soldiers, there are only 15 sergeants here, and he still needs to recruit [-] sergeants. Now that Hong Chengchou has left with [-] Jiangning battalion soldiers, there are only [-] soldiers left in Liaodong. Sergeant Wan, the strength is seriously insufficient.

When Lu Xiangsheng met Hong Chengchou, he looked helpless.

"Master Hong, I originally thought that I would be stationed in Liaodong with you, but I didn't expect you to leave just after I arrived in Liaodong."

"Lord Lu, I want to congratulate you, but the situation in Liaodong is a bit complicated, so Lord Lu still needs to be cautious."

Hong Chengchou left Liaodong, and there was no superior-subordinate relationship with Lu Xiangsheng, and he spoke more casually.

"Master Hong is right. I was trembling after receiving the imperial edict. There are less than [-] soldiers in Liaodong, so I must recruit soldiers. I wonder if Master Hong has any suggestions."

"I can't recommend it. The number of 1 sergeants is indeed small. The Houjin Tartars are stationed in Heishan, only a hundred miles away from Dalinghe City. The defense tasks of Dalinghe City and Jinzhou are the heaviest. These two The local sergeants must be sufficient. Dalinghe City has 1 sergeants stationed, Jinzhou has at least 4 sergeants stationed, and the remaining [-] sergeants, Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan each have [-] sergeants. Next, we need to recruit [-] sergeants, of which [-] [-] people are stationed in Jinzhou, [-] people are stationed in Ningyuan, and [-] people are stationed in Shanhaiguan. If this step can be achieved, Liaodong will basically have no worries.”

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head.

"Where are we going to recruit [-] soldiers? I'm going to give a memorial to the emperor. I implore Mr. Hong to stay."

"Your Majesty Lu, don't go to this memorial. The emperor asked me to leave Liaodong. He must have considered it carefully. I am also responsible for the defeat of the Liaodong frontier army. I can't stay in Liaodong. The emperor didn't punish me. It is very good, Mr. Chen and Mr. Qian have both gone to the capital, so I should also go directly to the capital to accept the crime."

"The disastrous defeat of the Liaodong frontier army has nothing to do with Mr. Hong. I know this."

"It can't be said that it doesn't matter, I also wrote a memorial to the emperor to apologize."

Lu Xiangsheng sighed, knowing that Hong Chengchou and Jiang Ningying could not be kept.

"Lord Hong, I am aware of the bravery of the Jiangning camp. In fact, the Jiangning camp's stay in Liaodong is the greatest guarantee for the stability of Liaodong. It is said that the emperor should also be aware of this."

"Lord Lu, don't say that. Before the Jiangning Battalion did not come to Liaodong, Liaodong was stable. The later Jin Tartars couldn't break through here. Now that Master Lu has come to Liaodong, he will be able to stabilize it with the soldiers of the Yulin Battalion. The situation in Liaodong."

"Master Hong's going to Dengzhou is also a good thing. Master Su has occupied Fuzhou, Yongning, Xuancheng, Xuanzhou and other places. The Houjin Tatars must be panicked and will definitely send heavy troops. At this time, Master Hong When we arrive in Dengzhou, we will fight face-to-face with the Houjin Tartars, and I wish Lord Hong great success."

"Thank you Lord Lu for your kind words. Liaodong will not be peaceful for a long time. I am afraid that Lord Lu will also be ready to fight."

In mid-June, Hong Chengchou rushed to Dengzhou with [-] Jiangning battalion soldiers.

Lu Xiangsheng also began to recruit sergeants.

Hong Chengchou was still a little unwilling to leave Liaodong. He knew very well that Su Tiancheng's idea was to launch an attack on the Houjin Tatars from Liaodong and Yongning. Judging from the current situation, the Houjin Tatars will definitely mobilize heavy troops , from Haizhou, Gaizhou, Yaozhou and other places, launched an attack on the Jiangning battalion. Such a situation really happened. He led the Jiangning battalion soldiers stationed in Liaodong to launch an attack on Heishan and Guangning. At that time, The later Jin Tartars will really be caught in a dilemma.

As soon as the army set off from Liaodong, Hong Chengchou received a letter from Su Tiancheng.

Su Tiancheng asked Hong Chengchou to speed up his pace, and all [-] soldiers of the Jiangning battalion rushed to the Dagu port in Tianjin, and all took warships to go directly to Yongning.

After receiving the letter, Hong Chengchou will not waste time, and the army hastened its pace.

In fact, such a situation was within Hong Chengchou’s expectation. When Jiangningying left Liaodong, Zu Dale insisted on joining Jiangningying. Hong Chengchou did not agree. Zu Dale’s status was different. The frontier army will also have opinions, besides, Zu Dale is a rare fierce general in Liaodong.

The supervisor Qin Sande left the Jiangning Camp and returned to the capital. This may indicate that the Jiangning Camp is about to face a brutal fight. Qin Sande entered the Jiangning Camp to accumulate seniority. Now that he has enough qualifications, he has experienced Liaodong With this danger, I definitely don't want to continue to take risks, so I went back to the capital to enjoy myself.
