Chapter 55 Choice
When Zhu Yijun heard the words of the Changding Fort victory, his face instantly sank. He hadn't heard of this victory for so long, Zhu Yijun thought he was suffused by his little wings, but he didn't expect that he would still appear.
This Changding Fort victory is not a real victory, but a complete scam.
If it were normal, Zhu Yijun would expose the scam without hesitation, but if he wanted to create an admiral, if he exposes the scam, it would be a big problem, and Zhu Yijun could only sigh helplessly.
After taking the memorial presented by Zhang Jing, Zhu Yijun felt a little lucky, but after reading this memorial, Zhu Yijun's mind of luck disappeared instantly. As expected, just like in history, the so-called Changding Fort victory was a pit.
This memorial was submitted by Liang Menglong, the governor of Ji Liao, and was mainly for praise and requesting credit.
Zhu Yijun slapped the memorial on the table and said angrily: "What is this Liang Menglong for?"
Zhang Jing was shocked. What's wrong with the emperor? Isn't it a great victory? Why are you still angry? And he cursed the governor of Ji Liao Liang Menglong. Zhang Jing hurriedly bowed and stood aside, fearing that the fire in the city gate would cause the fish to harm the pond.
Originally, Zhang Jing wanted to announce the good news and make the emperor happy, but now it seems that it would be better if he doesn't eat it.
Tao Chengqi, the deputy general of Liaodong, has never heard of this man Zhu Yijun in his two lives. The number one general in Liaodong is Li Chengliang, who is also the general of Liaodong. This credit is Tao Chengqi, but in Zhu Yijun's view, it is a hot potato.
Once again, I picked up the memorial and read it. More than 700 Tatar warriors led cattle and sheep to "invade" the Liaodong side wall, claiming to surrender.
Tao Chengqi, the deputy general of Liaodong, believed that he had surrendered and led his army to kill him. The Tatar warriors had no resistance. They killed more than 470 Tatar warriors and captured countless people. Our troops suffered minimal casualties. Seeing this, Zhu Yijun threw the memorial out again, and was so angry.
I really think the Tatars were fools, with more than 700 people believing surrender and driving cattle and horses. Do the Tatars have no brains? Not to mention now, during the Chongzhen period, the Tatars did not have such strength, and I did not have the Qing Dynasty.
Although the southeast was in ruins during the fight against the Japanese, and dozens of Japanese pirates could fight the Ming army fled in panic, it was not the southeast, but the northern border of the Ming Dynasty. It was not during the Jiajing period, and the Ming border troops were now very capable of fighting.
Whether it is Li Chengliang or Qi Jiguang, they are all the masters who can fight the Tartars cry for their parents.
There are minor casualties, are you very proud?
This is killing good people and taking credit!
Zhu Yijun directly gave his character in his heart. Now that Shanxi and Shaanxi have stabilized, Zhu Yijun from Liaodong also hopes to stabilize as soon as possible, but if this happens, how can he be stable?
Although this matter is not big, it is said that more than 700 Tartars have been killed to surrender. There are fewer people in the Ming Dynasty who have plundered the Tartars in recent years.
People come to surrender, and you kill them directly, who will surrender in the future? How bad the impact is, I won’t say that. In the end, you still have to rely on a knife to speak. The truth is only within the range of the cannon.
But my reforms will be very fierce, and I need a more stable frontier. How can I be stable in this way?
But what should I do now? I have defaulted on the credit? Not to mention whether it will be revealed in the future, even if it is not revealed, the impact of this matter is very bad and will be very far-reaching. What I need is a stable northern border, not a broken northern border.
If this lie is exposed and Tao Chengqi is punished, how can the warriors promote them, and how can they appoint admirals? I am afraid that those literati will not find a reason. If they are not successful enough, they will have more trouble, and they will not be able to support the mud.
Sitting there angrily, Zhu Yijun was so angry that he wanted to cut Tao Chengqi with one knife.
"Your Majesty, the news of the victory is spreading now!" Zhang Jing said cautiously when he saw that Zhu Yijun was not so angry.
Zhu Yijun sighed and threw the memorial to Zhang Jing: "Let the people in the cabinet agree to reward!" After saying this, Zhu Yijun showed a bitter smile on his face. Politics will indeed slowly smooth out a person's edges.
Although many times you don’t want to compromise or submit, you can’t do anything about it.
The best choice for me now is to abide by the credit this time. Anyway, the matter in Liaodong has been done, and I punished Tao Chengku, and the Tatars will not believe in the Ming Dynasty. I cannot really kill Tao Chengku, after all, this matter seems to be nothing in the eyes of the border army.
The border troops fought against the Tatars, and many people died. These people had brothers of living people and robes of living people.
If Tao Cheng's morale is cut off because of this incident, it will definitely cool the border army's morale and feel cold and want to warm up, it will be difficult to take it. What's more, if it breaks it, it will affect your appointment of the admiral. It's better to accept this great victory.
Sure enough, when politics reaches a certain level, it depends on gains and losses, not right and wrong, not good and bad.
From the bottom of my heart, I wanted to punish Tao Chengqi, but I couldn't do this. As my mind turned around, Zhu Yijun sighed again. Perhaps he might become unable to recognize himself again and again.
Zhang Jing heard Zhu Yijun's words: "Yes, emperor, I will go to the cabinet now!"
"Don't spread today's matter!" Zhu Yijun said expressionlessly. At the same time, this is also a test for Zhang Jing. Let's see if the news will be leaked this time. If someone leaks the news, don't say it's unpredictable.
"I understand!" Zhang Jing nodded: "I will let them get everything in their stomachs."
Zhang Jing left, Zhu Yijun had breakfast under the servitude of Liu Se, and after dinner, Zhang Jing also came back. Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Jing and said, "Tell the cabinet that I am going to drop the Langshan General Liu Xian and return to Beijing to serve as the admiral of the Beijing camp, and let the cabinet draft an order."
Taking this opportunity to push this matter out, Zhu Yijun wanted to settle the matter before the New Year.
The news of the victory of Changding Fort was indeed effective. The news of Zhu Yijun's establishment of the admiral did not cause much turmoil. Although there were oppositions, they were very small and did not generate any sound waves.
When attacking the warriors when he was making great achievements, the ministers were afraid of angering the emperor.
Jiangling, Zhang Juzheng's mansion.
Since returning to Jiangling, although Zhang Juzheng was presiding over his father's funeral, any movement in the capital could not be hidden from Zhang Juzheng. The fast horses traveling between Jiangling and the capital conveyed the news about the capital.
Unfolding the letter in front of him, Zhang Juzheng glanced at him and frowned.
