Chapter 1080 The Emperor Is Not Happy

In 1655 AD, the first month of the fifth year of Wuding.

In the fifth year after Gao Yihuan became emperor, the unification of the world was basically realized.

On the occasion of the New Year, the surrounding vassals and tribes came to pay their respects to the emperor of the suzerain country.

Today's territory of Wei State, in name, starts from North Korea and Sakhalin Island in the east, extends to Xiaohai (Lake Baikal) in the north, extends to the Caspian Sea and the east bank of the Ural River in the west, and extends to Guangdong in the south.

Of course, the area actually controlled by the Wei army is much smaller. The Wei army in the northeast has not yet entered the Songhua River Basin. The Mongolian tribes in the north are only subject to nominal surrender and still have considerable independence. Uzbekistan is also semi-independent.

However, although Great Wei has not directly controlled it, there are no strong forces in the surrounding area. As long as the population of Wei State grows, there is an internal motivation and demand for expansion, then these places are in the bag.

Gao Yihuan has been on the throne for five years, and he has achieved such achievements. Logically speaking, he is qualified to be called the Great Emperor, but Remnant Ming in the south does not give him face.

The Great Emperor is a great emperor who achieved the unification of the world and the worship of the barbarians, but Gao Yihuan unified the mainland, but there are still two islands that have not been restored, and there are still people who refuse to accept it, and take the initiative to provoke, attack the southeast coast, plunder the population, and plunder the wealth.

He couldn't even protect his own people, so Gao Yihuan naturally had no face to call himself emperor.

After leaving North Korea, Gao Yihuan traveled all the way through Liaodong, Liaoxi, Hebei, and Hedong, and finally entered Guanzhong from Pujindu. He inspected the conditions of the people and military fields along the way, and then returned to Chang'an, participated in the New Year's meeting, and accepted the worship of the vassal states.

Not long ago, the Wei army defeated Tsarist Russia, and now they wiped out the remnants. It was originally a good opportunity to show off their martial arts and make all nations pay homage to them, but Nanming made it difficult for Gao Yihuan.

Because the attack on the southeast coast was tantamount to a blatant slap in the face, Gao Yi's joy faded, and the pilgrimage ended hastily, and the atmosphere was not enthusiastic.

If the emperor is unhappy, someone will be unlucky.

In the Tiange, Gao Yihuan stood with his hands behind his back, and several great scholars stood behind him.

Gao Yihuan said angrily: "The Ming army is less than 20, and the number of troops that can be used will not exceed [-]. The imperial court deployed more than [-] troops along the coast, and the Ming army even broke through several houses. Immediately issued an order to dismiss Ding Qirui. Accept the question and ask him to come back and give me an explanation!"

Li Yan took a step forward, "Your Majesty, the Ming army has the advantage of maneuvering warships. Governor Ding can't fortify everywhere, and there are inevitably mistakes. Although the Ming army has broken through several prefectures, they have not captured the key areas. Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Shui Neither the Shijun port nor the shipyard suffered any losses."

Gao Yi said angrily: "If Guangzhou and Fuzhou are lost, I will have his head!"

Seeing that Gao Yihuan was furious, Chen Mingxia hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Ding Qirui is the supervisor in Fujian, and he often has correspondence with Zheng Sen. He ignores Zheng Sen's use of Zheng's network to smuggle, and there is a possibility of connecting with Nanming. The minister agrees to resign Ding Qirui." The position, escorted back to the capital for trial!"

Li Yan frowned slightly, the words came out of Chen Mingxia's mouth, and the inquiry turned into a trial. He hesitated for a moment, but still bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Governor Ding has stated to His Majesty about the matter of recruiting Zheng Sen. Now that something is wrong, we can only It is considered a mistake in decision-making and cannot be defined as collaborating with the enemy. In addition, the Ming army is now harassing the coast, and a temporary change of command may not be beneficial to the situation."

Gao Yihuan turned around, lost in thought.

Chen Mingxia said again: "Generally speaking, it's really inappropriate to change coaches just before the battle, but it also depends on the specific situation! If Ding Qirui has the ability to solve it, then of course he can't change it, but the current situation is caused by him, and I think Ding Qirui is in charge. Responsibility. Moreover, Ding Qirui has been unable to control the situation, and the situation in the southeast has not improved so far, so I think he must be dismissed."

Gao Yihuan walked back and forth for a few steps, then stopped suddenly, "Tune Ding Qirui back to Beijing for questioning, and the imperial court will appoint another minister as governor."

Gao Yihuan didn't believe Ding Qirui colluded with the enemy. Gao Yihuan thought that he might simply be incompetent and made a wrong decision.

"This matter is settled like this." After Gao Yihuan finished speaking, he looked at the crowd and asked: "Sir, who do you think can take on this important task and clean up the hidden dangers in the southeast for me?"

Chen Mingxia hurriedly said: "I recommend Gu Junen, Governor of Shandong."

Gu Junen used to work in Dashun Military Mansion and was Li Zicheng's counselor. After he voted for Wei, he became the governor of Hedong. He was recently transferred to Shandong as the governor.

When Gao Yihuan went to North Korea, most of the military rations were transported across the sea from Shandong, and North Korean refugees also crossed the sea from Dengzhou to disembark. Gu Junen, governor of Shandong, was also responsible for the logistics of the army and the evacuation and resettlement of the refugees. He did a very good job.

Gao Yihuan pondered, and was about to agree, but Li Yan saluted, "Your Majesty, the matter in the southeast involves Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang provinces. I think that I should send a bachelor to directly supervise the entire southeast. I recommend the Liangge Department to go to the supervisor. "

Liang Yizhang was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect Li Yan to recommend him, his face darkened.

The situation in the southeast is not simple, it is a fire pit. Although the Wei army is numerous, they are powerful but have no place to deploy. It is difficult to destroy Nanming.

Gao Yihuan obviously likes Li Yan's proposal. Gu Junen's ability is good, but he lacks prestige, and he doesn't have the experience of governing several provinces. The chieftain, in response to the attack of the Zhou army, has rich experience in battle.

Gao Yihuan turned to look at Liang Yizhang and said, "Sir, would you like to share my worries?"

Liang Yizhang hesitated for a moment, but still bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to take orders, but I have a few requests."

Gao Yihuan said happily, "Sir, just talk."

Liang Yizhang said: "First, I hope to transfer Wang Deren, Wang Guangtai, and Bai Wenxuan to listen to the three generals. Second, transfer a Sichuan army, and add a few infantry troops to Fujian. Third, transfer the Beiyang Navy to the south for reinforcements, and Use Zheng Cai, Zheng Lian and other generals. Fourthly, Your Majesty, please order Zheng Zhilong to write a letter to Zheng Sen, as well as the generals of the Zheng Army, to express their intentions of appeasement!"

Gao Yihuan pondered slightly, thinking about Liang Yizhang's request. The generals he wanted seemed to have no characteristics, but in fact there were traces to be found. They were either those who once obeyed his orders, or those who had been sidelined in the past few years and had no chance to make meritorious service.

As for increasing the number of troops and dispatching naval forces, it is reasonable and reasonable, and it is no problem to ask Zheng Zhilong to write letters. The only thing that makes Gao Yihuan hesitate is to use Zheng Cai, Zheng Lian and others.

Gao Yihuan didn't want to use the Zheng family because he was worried that they would collude with Zheng Sen and raise the bandits' self-respect, but to support the bandits' self-respect, there is one condition, that is, they must have the ability to destroy the bandits, and let the court see that they can't do it without you. Otherwise, the court will definitely replace someone else.

Now the navy of the Ming army is extremely passive. If the Zheng family is used, it would be a good thing to force Zheng Sen back.

At this time, Gao Yihuan was in the hall, and started to pace again. After taking two steps, he looked at Liang Yizhang, and laughed loudly, "I promise sir!"

Liang Yizhang bowed solemnly, "I will not disgrace my mission!"

Immediately, Gao Yihuan ordered Liang Yizhang, a university scholar, to go to Fujian to supervise the division, the governor of Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, and at the same time allocate infantry and navy, select generals, reinforce the coast, and wipe out Nanming.
