Chapter 1105 Expert Meetings
"The veteran believes that Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three provinces of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, is indeed responsible. He should consider the possible reaction of the Frangji people. If the navy and army were sent there in advance, the incident would not have happened." Wen Tiren's voice was in the Wenhua Hall It rang, "However, if the army and navy were sent there in advance, it would be easier for people to give excuses, saying that Governor Sun forced the Folangji people in Haojingao back!"

"The occurrence of the Frangji incident, the veteran believes that the main reason is that it has been malicious and unscrupulous for a long time. These Western barbarians meddling in our Ming Annan affairs are equivalent to declaring war with my Ming. For the Flangji people in Haojingao, Just giving an ultimatum, in the eyes of the veteran, is really too kind!"

"The brutality and unscrupulousness of the Xiyi is not limited to the Frangji people. The Hongyi who were originally in the Dayuan is an example. Moreover, the old minister heard that these Xiyi came to the east from afar and brought disasters. Wherever they went, What a disaster, burning, killing, looting, and harming the people; if the old minister remembers correctly, it was the same when the early Folangji people first came to my Ming Dynasty, they only showed their meekness on the surface after being defeated by my Ming Dynasty."

Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his voice a lot, and played loudly: "My Ming Dynasty is a kingdom in the sky, and I am the suzerain of the world's vassal states. I should vigorously build naval forces, send troops overseas, and even send troops to the old nest of Xiyi, so that they can understand. Anyone who offends our Great Ming will be punished no matter how far away! If we don’t defeat the Western Yi, our Ming’s national policy of opening up the sea will surely suffer setbacks, and merchant ships that sail long distances will surely be plundered by the Western Yi!”

No one expected that Wen Tiren not only attributed the crime of this incident to the cruelty and unscrupulousness of Frangji, but was even very radical, shouting that he would fight to Xiyi's old lair.All of a sudden, everyone in the hall couldn't help but look at him.

Anyone who offends our great Ming will be punished no matter how far away!Is it too far to say right now?
However, Emperor Chongzhen could understand why Wen Tiren said such a thing. Just as Wen Tiren said at the end, now the western barbarians are basically dominating the ocean.And Xiyi is so cruel, how can Daming's merchant ships be kept safe?This will definitely affect the national policy of opening the sea!

The tax revenue brought by Kaihai is increasing year by year. This is one of Wen Tiren's achievements as chief assistant. It is absolutely impossible for him to let other things affect Kaihai.It is also for this reason that he must speak for Sun Chuanting.If Sun Chuanting hadn't been in charge of opening the sea, even if he could open the sea, he might not have received so much sea tax.

Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about it, when Wen Tiren suddenly turned to look at the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and said coldly: "I am an official of the Ming Dynasty, and I am assigned by the Ministry of Officials, but how low is it? Governor Sun, as the chief official of the Ming Dynasty, Can it be assessed by the Ministry of Officials? Convicting Governor Sun with one word, will the Ministry of Officials also assess and convict the cabinet in the future?"

When I asked this question, Li Changgeng, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who was already kneeling there sweating, was dripping with sweat. Although Wen Tiren didn't say it clearly, everyone knew that he was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials who had exceeded his authority.This is the power only the emperor has. What do you mean by Minister of the Ministry of Officials?
"I..." Li Changgeng still wanted to defend himself, if this kind of thing had changed before, it wouldn't matter if he said a few words.But in the scolding of Emperor Chongzhen, Wen Tiren said this again, emphasizing the limitations of his responsibilities, and immediately made people feel that he seemed to want to be emperor.Although everyone knew that it was impossible for the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to have such thoughts, but at this time it was such a conclusion.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't wait for Li Changgeng to defend himself, and he shouted angrily: "Did you hear the words of the first assistant? In the past few years, have you, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, fulfilled your duties? Now you still have the ability to worry about things outside of your authority! Go back and think about it." Think! What is the responsibility of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials? I have to give an account of what happened in the past two years!"

He had planned before that he would attack Liubu and take back the equity to the treasury.This matter is almost facing the entire civil servant class, so we must be cautious, otherwise we will encounter great resistance.Therefore, he has already set the time and selected the target for surgery.The Minister of the Ministry of Officials cannot be dealt with seriously at this time, so he is ordered to go home and think about his mistakes behind closed doors.

If you wear a hat that will fight in the nest, no matter what you do, the minister of the official department will be criticized by others.In the original history, it was Min Hongxue who became the Minister of the Ministry of Officials after he was defeated by the fight, but in this plane, everyone knows that he is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and I am afraid that he will not be in office for long!

On this matter, I will also warn other civil servants that the emperor doesn't like infighting very much. If anyone commits such a taboo in the future, if the emperor finds out, he will definitely not have good results.No matter what he said was right or wrong (Sun Chuanting was indeed wrong), the dignified Minister of the Ministry of Officials was ordered to go home and think about it behind closed doors.

After Li Changgeng withdrew from the Wenhua Palace, Emperor Chongzhen turned to Wen Tiren, his face softened a little and said: "Wen Qing's words are very true. Those who offend our Ming Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away, and Xiyi is no exception! Speed ​​up the process. Otherwise, in this incident, if my Ming Dynasty has not only navy in Fujian, but also Beihai in Guangdong, Qiongzhou Prefecture and other places that can fight, the Folangji people may not dare to be so arrogant!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Wen Tiren responded immediately after hearing this.

So, next, Emperor Chongzhen discussed with these courtiers and set the tone of the national policy of vigorously developing the navy.And this is unimaginable in previous dynasties.This is not only the will of the emperor alone, but also the cabinet.This may be the advantage of the cabinet being formed by the chief assistant of the cabinet.

In the northern part of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Sangui called out that those who violated the Ming Dynasty would be punished even if they were far away, and exterminated the two Mongolian tribes that invaded the capital. For this reason, he was fully affirmed by Emperor Chongzhen at that time.With such an example, this oath borrowed from the Han Dynasty has actually already had an impression on the people of Ming Dynasty.It is also because of this that Wen Tiren was able to utter this oath in a logical manner, which did not make people feel abrupt.

The most important thing is that now that the Ming Dynasty has pacified northern Mongolia, recovered Liaodong, and North Korea, and the treasury is increasingly full, it already has this ability and has begun to implement the ocean strategy.

At the end of the meeting, Wen Tiren played to Emperor Chongzhen: "How should Governor Sun deal with it, please show your Majesty?"

If Sun Chuanting was not dealt with at all, it would not be easy to punish other officials in the frontier if they did something wrong.Moreover, seeing that Sun Chuanting is fine, it is estimated that impeachment memorials will fly into the palace like snowflakes.If the imperial court has already made a final decision on punishment, then most people will not say anything.

Emperor Chongzhen understood the reason why Wen Tiren held on to Sun Chuanting, and he was reminding himself of this.Therefore, after pondering for a while, he opened his mouth and said: "Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three provinces of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, did not do his job well. The people of Ming Dynasty must do their utmost to rescue them. The formation of the Guangdong Navy must see results within two years, so please!”

Taken together, Sun Chuanting's punishment can be regarded as dismissal and retention.Other things are things that he needs to stay in office to do.This dismissal and retention only happened during the Manchu Qing period.Now that Emperor Chongzhen said this, these people in the Wenhua Palace were stunned.

This punishment, if you say it is serious, it is indeed serious, and they are all dismissed!But if you want to say it’s not serious, in fact it’s really not serious. Staying in office is still doing the original thing, exercising the powers and obligations of the governor.

What is going on with this dismissal and staying in office?

But these people are all human beings, and if you think about it for a while, you can actually see it.The emperor still values ​​Sun Chuanting's way of running the army, and the key must be used.Given such a punishment, the position of the governor of the three provinces of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong is not something that other people will think about for the time being.

Wen Tiren wanted to understand this, and felt relieved, this is what he wanted.Originally, he wanted to suggest reducing Sun Chuanting's salary.But this treatment is likely to be considered too light.The emperor made such a move, so you don't have to worry about it yourself.

"Your Majesty's punishment is appropriate, and the veteran seconded it!" Wen Tiren was the first to play.

The emperor's attitude is just that, and everyone has seen the fate of the Minister of the Ministry of officials. The other courtiers have no objection, so the matter is settled.

But there is another thing, that is Annan's rebellion. Originally, Emperor Chongzhen was going to wait a little longer and let Annan fight first. The restless chieftain jumped out and used King Fu's money to let Zhu Xieyuan take in as many people as possible Disaster victims, refugees, several things can be better resolved.

But now, on Frangji's side, Daming must take revenge.Even if it wasn't the Folangji from Haojingao, those Folangji from Annan who participated in the rebellion must not show mercy and must be severely punished!The original plan must be changed.

But if you want to change the plan, you can't expect Zhu Xieyuan to train soldiers.For this reason, after the meeting in the Wenhua Palace, Emperor Chongzhen entered the chat group, pulled in a temporary group, and brought in Wen Tiren, Sun Chuanting, Zheng Zhilong, Liu Guoneng, Zhu Xieyuan, Min Hongxue and others to discuss this matter, and soon There is a plan.

Sun Chuanting had already known what his punishment was through the chat group before.He is naturally a sensible person, knowing that the emperor has to give an explanation to others, and he should do the governor's work well, so that there will be fewer mistakes in the future, and the reinstatement of the official is just the last word to satisfy the emperor.

For this reason, he considered the questions raised by the emperor in the most detailed way, and he was the first to propose a solution: "The Southern Garrison has not gone through war for a long time. The combat effectiveness of the newly formed guard army is open to question. In my opinion, it is better to send these newly formed guard troops to suppress the chieftain rebellion and wipe out the Annan rebels! Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, or The troops of the guards in Guizhou and other places already have sufficient strength. They cannot be immediately available, but they can also be used for training."

After speaking, he thought for a while, and added: "Although the guard troops in the surrounding provinces have not fought for a long time, they are also very adaptable to the terrain, weather and environment of Annan and Yunnan, and they will not be affected by a large amount of water and soil. Disobey and reduce staff."

Hearing his words, the first reaction in Emperor Chongzhen's mind was that later generations fought back in self-defense against Vietnam. It is said that at that time, the higher-ups also had the intention of training troops, sending troops from each military region to fight back in turn.Today, Sun Chuanting's suggestion is similar to this, and the Vietnam of later generations is today's Annan, even the location is the same.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional. Sometimes, history is surprisingly similar.For Sun Chuanting's request, Emperor Chongzhen also agreed in his heart. The remaining guard troops really had to go through the baptism of war!Although the frontier troops on the Nine Sides are elite, if they are transferred to the south, they really have to consider the problem of acclimatization.

However, before Emperor Chongzhen had time to speak, Min Hongxue said in the group: "For the sake of safety, I thought that there should be an elite team at hand, just in case. In this way, the troops of the guards took turns to suppress the rebellion. Don’t be afraid to be defeated by the rebels! For this army, I recommend Uncle Zhonglie’s white-armed army.”

This is a prudent move, Emperor Chongzhen nodded.Otherwise, if the army of the guard is really miserable and is abused by the rebels instead, it will be terrible.

Just as he was thinking about it, Wen Tiren also spoke: "Your Majesty, the old minister suggested that the imperial court can negotiate with King Fu to allocate part of the money that was originally used to train recruits and then capture Annan for the military expenses of the various armies. If it is too huge, the imperial court can bear part of it. After all, there is no major war in the north, and the treasury has more revenue, so it can get some money."

Zheng Zhilong is also very excited to participate in such a high-level meeting.He is a shrewd person, knowing that working hard under the ground is not as good as at this time, it is more realistic to leave a good impression on the big shots in the court.

Therefore, after Wen Tiren finished speaking, the emperor also affirmed it. When no one in the group spoke any more for a while, he asked Liu Jinsheng to play on his behalf: "Your Majesty, the east side of Annan, from north to south, is all by the sea. Now Annan, north and south Therefore, the general thought that if the navy transported troops to the south, landed on the south side of Annan when it was empty, and then attacked from the north and the south, it might be easier to resolve the Annan incident!"

He made this suggestion because he learned about Li Zhiqi's Denglai Navy, so he often did it.The most recent time, troops were transported to land in Incheon, and the Ming army penetrated into the heart of the remnants of the Manchu Dynasty in North Korea, which had the effect of a surprise soldier.He was sure that he could do the same in Annan.

Hearing this, Liu Guoneng immediately reported through Ma San: "The final general is willing to go!"

Sun Chuanting was a little late, and added that the guards in Fuzhou could also be sent out to fight after the supervising army arrived.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't speak all the time, watching you and me in the group slowly complete the plan, he couldn't help showing a gratified smile.

　Thank you Iron-Blooded Descendants, I hope Heaven will reward you!
