Ming politicians

Tang Haitai never expected that he would have no time to leave Liaodong. After the disastrous defeat in Liaodong, both Chen Xinjia and Qian Qianyi were taken directly to the capital, and they were sent to prison at the same time. But his official career is definitely over, and he can't rely on it. At this time, Tang Haitai still said that his uncle is still the second assistant of the cabinet, and he thought that returning to the capital would not be a big problem.It's a pity that Tang Haitai didn't know, because of the failure of Chen Xinjia and Qian Qianyi, and even more because of Tang Shiji's constant praise, Zhu Youjian made some decisions that shouldn't be made. Tang Shiji basically has no right to make suggestions on matters in Liaodong. In such a sensitive period, Tang Shiji would not bring up Tang Haitai's matter for the time being, lest someone would catch him. This delay would make it impossible for Tang Haitai to return to the capital.

After Tang Shiji was forced to resign, Tang Haitai was like a thunderbolt, knowing that his plan to return to the capital was in vain. The newly appointed governor of Liaodong, Lu Xiangsheng, was not interested in him at all. People, and important notices, have nothing to do with him. After a while, Tang Haitai clearly felt that he was already a worthy person in the governor's yamen.

Tang Haitai was originally a dude with no skills. He used to be under the cover of Tang Shiji, and he still had a great status in Liaodong. Unfortunately, most of the garrison in Liaodong has been adjusted. Now it is dominated by the Yulin Camp. The officers of the Yulin Camp will not They are all Lu Xiangsheng's confidantes, so they don't pay attention to him, a frustrated governor.

In fact, Lu Xiangsheng underestimated Tang Haitai, and he also did an investigation. In the disastrous defeat in Liaodong, this humble Tang Haitai had a lot of responsibility, although he was not a big official and had a lot of airs.Moreover, he was greedy for life and afraid of death, especially when the army was surrounded, he didn't want to resist, and all he could think about was running for his life. Of course, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't understand such an official.Even though Tang Shiji, Tang Haitai's uncle, was still in the cabinet, Lu Xiangsheng didn't like Tang Haitai. Later, Tang Shiji retired, and Lu Xiangsheng didn't pay attention to Tang Haitai, who was so incompetent.

Encountering such treatment, Tang Haitai was very depressed, but he couldn't think of a way to solve the current situation.

before.Tang Haitai is not short of money, because relying on Tang Shiji, he always employs people to send money. Tang Haitai has always been extravagant, and he doesn't pay attention to that little salary at all, although Ningyuan City is not big.But it is also very prosperous, there are restaurants, brothels and teahouses, everything that one expects to find, Tang Haitai is a frequent visitor to these places, and he never feels distressed when spending money.

The current situation has changed suddenly, no one will continue to send money to Tang Haitai, almost overnight.Tang Haitai felt tight.Ordinarily at this time, Tang Haitai could see the situation clearly and be a man with his tail between his legs. After all, the Ming Dynasty would evaluate officials once every three years. Tang Haitai still had a chance to return to the capital. After all, Tang Shiji still had some connections in the capital.Besides Su Tiancheng's status, he would never notice him as a little radish. Unfortunately, Tang Haitai, who has become a habit of squandering, couldn't help it at all.

Ningyuan City is not big.But fish and dragons are mixed and very complicated. This is definitely the focus of Houjin's operations. Fan Wencheng has devoted most of his energy to this small Ningyuan City. There are many spies of Houjin here, all mixed in. Among the merchants, the officials in the governor's mansion and the governor's office were all concerned by people with ulterior motives. Tang Haitai was also the focus of attention at the beginning.

The changes in Liaodong have long attracted Fan Wencheng's attention. Fan Wencheng is clear that the Ming Dynasty is like this. With the appointment and dismissal of a group of officials, there must be proud officials and frustrated officials. At this time, it is precisely among the officials The best chance to find nails, those frustrated officials, is the focus of the work. [

Tang Haitai was not particularly concerned, but with Tang Shiji's resignation, Tang Haitai quickly rose to become a key target.The intelligence networks in Beijing and Liaodong have already found out Tang Haitai's details.

Feeling frustrated, Tang Haitai would never have imagined that he had become the focus of Fan Wencheng's attention, and it was precisely because of being the focus of attention that Tang Haitai's fate had changed tremendously since then.

Frustrated Tang Haitai didn't have much money to squander in brothels. As an official of his rank, it was unrealistic to think of his family members coming to Ningyuan. Many times, Tang Haitai, who was very drunk, was sent back by the staff of the restaurant.

Because of Tang Haitai's performance, the officials in the governor's office looked down on him more and more as the governor.

The biggest blow to Tang Haitai was that Lu Xiangsheng reappointed a new governor, and he also took office. The governor's office has two governors. This should be a joke. Everyone knows that there is only one governor's position, but it happens The strange thing is that the newly appointed governor is Lu Xiangsheng's confidant. From then on, the new governor is in charge of all matters uploaded and issued by the governor's office, including all key notices.

Tang Haitai has completely become a worthy person, and he doesn't even need to touch his head.

This arrangement dealt a huge blow to Tang Haitai and was unbearable.

It is precisely because of this arrangement that the following series of things happened.

In fact, Lu Xiangsheng also wanted to transfer Tang Haitai away. He was out of sight and out of mind. Unfortunately, he had too many things to do. Besides, there were too many changes in the capital. Tian Cheng entered the cabinet, this change made Lu Xiangsheng feel that the decisive battle between the imperial court and the Hou Jin Tartars was about to begin. By then, Liaodong would be a very important place, and Su Tiancheng and the Jiangning camp would launch a campaign in Fuzhou and Xuanzhou. Offensive, the Yulin camp stationed in Liaodong can also play a role, at least it can contain the Houjin Tartars in Liaodong and relieve the pressure on the Jiangning camp.

The imperial court's residence newspaper had already arrived in Liaodong, and Lu Xiangsheng understood that Su Tiancheng was directly responsible for the affairs of Liaodong.

This kind of layout is what Lu Xiangsheng is most satisfied with. Chen Xinjia’s lesson is too painful. After Chen Xinjia came to Liaodong, he rejected Su Tiancheng and Jiangningying, and suffered a disastrous defeat, which almost ruined Liaodong. Launched a large-scale attack on Lushun, occupied Xuanzhou and Fuzhou, and caused a major crisis in Houjin's rear. Huang Taiji had to withdraw his troops to deploy defenses in the rear. Liaodong might really fall.

Lu Xiangsheng once followed Su Tiancheng to exterminate the Tartars. Lu Xiangsheng will never forget the extermination of the Tartars in the ninth year of Chongzhen. The bravery of the Jiangning Camp, Su Tiancheng's wisdom, and the fiasco of the Later Golden Tartars have been engraved in Lu Xiangsheng's heart. He knew very well that as long as he followed Su Tiancheng, there would definitely be a big fight. At that time, he would be able to personally experience and command the battle to wipe out the Golden Tartars. This was the dream opportunity of any general commanding an army.

Lu Xiangsheng devoted all of his energy to the training of the Yulin Camp. The training methods of the Yulin Camp are exactly the same as those of the Jiangning Camp. In fact, some of the training methods of the Yulin Camp were taught by the officers sent by the Jiangning Camp. This kind of training The method does have a great effect and can maximize the combat effectiveness. The only disadvantage is that the consumption is relatively large. Fortunately, the imperial court has not reduced or exempted the military pay of Liaodong, and Lu Xiangsheng can still maintain it.

Because of this situation, Lu Xiangsheng didn't notice Tang Haitai.

After all, Tang Haitai is Tang Shiji's nephew, and Lu Xiangsheng will not find fault on purpose. As long as Tang Haitai lives in peace, he will not bother so much. Tang Shiji's face still has to be taken into account, so Lu Xiangsheng did not care about Tang Haitai's drunkenness. Blame, anyway, Tang Haitai has nothing to do, and he won't cause trouble if he is drunk. [

Lu Xiangsheng would never have thought that Tang Haitai would undergo tremendous changes because of his own negligence.

Tang Haitai has completely become a frustrated person, no one cares about him, no one cares about him, and he has become a worthy person in the governor's office. When he was reused by Chen Xinjia before, Tang Haitai kept the officials of the governor's office in his eyes, and he carried them when he walked. If you are frustrated now, others won't pay attention to it. It's also the so-called, and some people even wait to see the joke.

It was impossible to keep these things about the governor's office secret, and they were spread out as gossip.

The speaker meant what the listener meant. These things were obtained by Houjin spies lurking in Ningyuan City.

The information was quickly passed to Fan Wencheng's hands. This information attracted Fan Wencheng's attention. He thought that the opportunity had come. After so many years, Hou Jin's intelligence network could not penetrate into the officials of Ming Dynasty. This time I am afraid there will be a breakthrough.Fan Wencheng did not hesitate, and immediately made arrangements, demanding that the intelligence personnel ambushed in Ningyuan City, no matter what means they used, no matter how much they paid, they must bring Tang Haitai in.

Fan Wencheng, who is familiar with Tang Haitai's experience, knows that he will succeed this time. If he wins over Tang Haitai, he can easily obtain a lot of information. The money is gone, the relationship is established, and the information is obtained, isn't it just a bag.

Houjin's intelligence network in Ningyuan City was activated quickly, and plans were sent to Shenyang one by one. After ten days of deliberation, a set of the most mature plans was finalized.

Ningyuan City is still so lively. Su Tiancheng won a big victory in Xuanzhou, which greatly encouraged the morale of the Liaodong Yulin Camp and the frontier army. The haze of failure quickly disappeared. Because of this big victory, Ningyuan, Shanhaiguan, etc. Cities such as Jinzhou, Jinzhou, and Dalinghe City have also undergone changes, and merchants come and go more frequently. Even in Dalinghe City, which specializes in garrisoning troops, merchants have gradually appeared. (to be continued...)
