Chapter 179 The Ming army is fully outnumbered

Chapter 178

The premise logic of high achievements and earthquakes is that the most important thing is "lord", not earthquake. In Cheng Shijie's eyes, Emperor Chongzhen was not his master, but his boss.

Whatever the master asks his servants to do, the subordinates have to obey. But what excessive things the boss asks his employees to do depends on how much money the boss pays. If you pay three thousand yuan a month and let them work overtime, no overtime pay will be given.

Next, the employees will tell the boss to get lost.

However, if you are paid 30,000 yuan a month, even if your boss asks you to work overtime, even if you ask him to work all night, you still have to grit your teeth and insist on it.

But the question is what did Emperor Chongzhen, the boss, give Cheng Shijie?

money?

Emperor Chongzhen was actually not as rich as Cheng Shijie.

that power?

Regardless of whether Emperor Chongzhen agreed or not, Cheng Shijie had the final say in Liaonan.

This is a fact.

Of course, as a grassroots cadre of Hansteel Group, Cheng Shijie is very good at talking things over.

"Eunuch Gao, if Cheng is afraid that his superior power will overwhelm his master, then there is no need to fight this battle!"

He said calmly: "Do you know why Jiannu became stronger and stronger from a small tribe with only a few hundred thousand people, while the Ming Dynasty became weaker and weaker?"

Gao Qi said subconsciously: "What is it?"

"It's just because we are worried that there are too many people with great achievements who can shock their masters. They clearly have the opportunity to strangle the slaves, but intentionally or unintentionally let them live, and even sit back and watch them develop and grow!"

Cheng Shijie said with a bitter smile: "Back then, if Li Chengliang wanted to kill Jiannu, it would be like squeezing an ant to death. Unfortunately, the court was worried that Li Chengliang would not lose his tail, so they were suspicious of him, so he had to raise the bandits to respect himself. Jiannu is such a vicious wolf, and he is a wolf.

The cub slowly becomes stronger and turns into a fierce tiger. How many Ming people are conniving behind it?"

Facing Cheng Shijie, Gao Qiqian was really speechless.

Cheng Shijie is right. A large part of the reason why Jiannu was able to grow from a small tribe with only a few hundred thousand people to compete with the Ming Dynasty was because the Ming army was supporting the enemy and playing tricks on the enemy to support the bandits.

!

The generals of the Ming army wanted to keep the war in their jurisdiction, and fight big and small battles non-stop. In this way, the court not only did not dare to touch them, but also had to send a large amount of food, military pay, and put it into his pocket!

This is also the suppression of military generals by civil servants. Without fighting, the officers and soldiers of the Ming army would not be able to eat enough, let alone eat, because the civil servants were as ferocious as dogs.

There were very few generals like Cheng Shijie in the Ming Dynasty who did not care about anything and only wanted to destroy the slaves, too few!

Gao Qiqian was silent for a moment and said, "Aren't you afraid that someone will impeach you in the future?"

“If you want to impeach, then impeach!”

Cheng Shijie said angrily: "What else can they do besides impeachment? When Jiannu is exterminated, Cheng avenges the destruction of his family and clan. Without revenge, he will be spared. For Cheng, his official title is nothing more than smoke and smoke in the past. Even if it is just

By doing business, Mr. Cheng can also become the world's richest man. Now, Mr. Cheng has decided on this battle. If anyone dares to stop him, I will chop him into pieces with a knife!"

Gao Qiqian looked at Cheng Shijie's determined expression, and was very shocked in his heart.

He thought to himself that Cheng Shijie was indeed a loyal minister.

It was also the hope of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, although Gao Qiqian was greedy, he never thought about the collapse of the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty disappeared, he would still make a lot of money.

Gao Qiqian suddenly thought of those people thrown out by Cheng Shijie's order. These people were Wen Tiren's gang members. If Cheng Shijie didn't give Wen Shoufu face, Wen Tiren would definitely deal with Cheng Shijie when he returned to the capital.

When Zhang Fengyi impeached Cheng Shijie, he could have plotted against Zhang Fengyi, but to deal with the current chief minister, Gao Qiqian's ability was not enough. At least he had no say in the selection of the chief minister.

"All right!"

Gao Qiqian looked at Cheng Shijie and said: "Since General Cheng is determined to destroy the Jian slaves, we don't have anything to say. However, there is one thing that General Cheng needs to pay attention to!"

Cheng Shijie smiled and said, "Tell me about it!"

"It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain!"

Gao Qiqian said: "In the eyes of His Majesty, Chief Wen is a virtuous minister who is not interested in fame and wealth; in the eyes of the ministers, he is gentle and gentle, never competitive with others, and is a worthy target.

No matter how bad he is, he is not a political enemy. In fact, he is a poisonous snake!"

In fact, speaking of it, it is really accurate to see from a high altitude.

Cheng Shijie mostly bases his judgment on people based on various historical records, while Gao Qiqian relies on his own vision.

During the more than seventeen years of Emperor Chongzhen's reign, he actually changed dozens of cabinet chiefs and ministers, and the Minister of War was like a revolving door. They had to be replaced every other year, and most of them lost their heads.

It can be said that as an official during the reign of Emperor Chongzhen, you had to be on guard every day. However, in such an environment, there was one person who gained the lasting trust of Emperor Chongzhen and controlled the cabinet for eight years. He was called the tumbler in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

.

And this person is Wen Tiren.

When Wen Renti and Qian Qianyi first joined the cabinet, in the winter of the second year of Chongzhen's reign, the Ministry of Civil Affairs selected a list of additional cabinet members. Donglin Party leader Qian Qianyi became the popular candidate, but Wen Tiren was not on the list. At this time, "

Wen Tiren, who was not interested in fame and fortune, could not sit still. He immediately joined forces with Zhou Yanru, who also hoped to join the cabinet, to criticize Qian Qianyi and impeach Qian Qianyi for forming a clique for personal gain.

Emperor Chongzhen hated cliques among officials the most, so he believed that the widely praised Qian Qianyi was suspected of cliques, so he expelled Qian Qianyi from the capital and let Wen Tiren join the cabinet.

Wen Tiren first united with Zhou Yanru to attack political opponents, including Yuan Chonghuan. After the Jisi Incident, Wen Tiren immediately impeached Yuan Chonghuan for collaborating with the enemy, which became an important driving force for Yuan Chonghuan's imprisonment. All officials who supported Yuan Chonghuan were also impeached by Wen Tiren.

After Wen Tiren became the second assistant in the cabinet, he ordered his party members to impeach Zhou Yanru, successfully removed Zhou Yanru from power, and became the first assistant in the cabinet. He remained in this position for eight full years.

Wen Renti was able to serve as the head of the cabinet for eight years under the nose of Emperor Chongzhen. In fact, he adhered to an iron rule: "If you don't do it well, if you do it more, you will make mistakes!"

When Wen Tiren served as the chief minister of the cabinet, he rarely spoke, like a sleeping old man, standing there with his eyes closed and concentrating without saying a word. Emperor Chongzhen wanted to increase taxes, but Wen Tiren neither stopped nor supported it.

He said that he came from a writing background, but taxation was not his major, and he had no right to speak. When Emperor Chongzhen wanted to change the military system, he claimed that he was a CI minister, and that he came from a writing background, and military affairs were not something he was good at.

It can also be said that Wen Tiren, the first minister of the cabinet for eight years, did not do anything serious except attacking political opponents.

Gao Qiqian looked at the few Ministry of War officials who had been beaten with bruises and bruises by Cheng Shijie's personal guards, and said with a faint smile: "If they return to the capital, what does General Cheng think will happen to them?"

"Needless to say, the bad guys will definitely complain first!"

"Only dead people cannot speak!"

Gao Qiqian said calmly: "General Cheng doesn't bother to dirty his hands. We have done all the dirty work for you!"

Having said this, Gao Qiqian winked at a Jinyi guard.

This Jin Yiwei was a ruthless man. Without saying a word, he pulled out his embroidered spring knife and walked towards more than a dozen officials from the Ministry of War.

"What are you going to do..."

Seeing the Jin Yiwei approaching with great momentum, these Ministry of War officials were not fools. They realized something was wrong.

However, the problem was that these Jinyi guards did not talk nonsense to them, and they slashed with their swords. After a while, there were more than a dozen corpses on the ground.

Gao Qipian looked at Cheng Shijie and asked: "Nowadays, Jiannu is a trapped beast. If they break out, from which direction will they break out?"

"Needless to say, it must be the joint force of Dongjiang Army and Guan Ning Army!"

Gao Qiqian smiled and said: "Did you hear that? Invite these dozen adults to the joint headquarters of Dongjiang Army and Guan Ning Army, and we will ask the court for credit on their behalf!"

More than a dozen officials from the Ministry of War who came with Fu Zonglong were killed by Gao Qiqian. After their death, these people would be chased by the court, and at least they would end up with a good end.

Of course, in official circles, it is not scary to do something wrong. What is most scary is to be on the wrong team. That is the most fatal thing.

Fu Zonglong watched this scene with cold eyes and did not express any opinion.

As an official of the pragmatic faction, he was actually part of Sun Chengzong's party. Of course, Sun Chengzong himself was actually part of the Ming Shao faction, that is, a pragmatic official.

He was really afraid that Cheng Shijie was pedantic, so he just threw these dozen officials outside. When these officials returned to Beijing, they would bite Cheng Shijie like mad dogs and spare no effort.

On the contrary, it is certainly not appropriate to do this at high altitude.

But the problem is, since this is done for Cheng Shijie, there is nothing inappropriate.

Fu Zonglong looked at Sun Chengzong and said, "Mr. Sun Ge, General Cheng, are you too close to the chamberlain?"

"Is it okay if we don't get closer?"

Sun Chengzong smiled bitterly and said: "If I had lowered my dignity and bowed my head to Wei Zhongxian, how could I have allowed Liaodong to be corrupted again and again?"

Having said this, Fu Zonglong stopped talking.

After the defeat at Liuhe, Sun Chengzong was impeached and dismissed from office. After the battle with Dalinghe, he was dismissed again. The blow to Sun Chengzong was really too heavy.

Sun Chengzong lacked Cheng Shijie's flexibility.

If you want to really get things done, you must be flexible and flexible. There must be people at the top and people in the palace.

Just like Qi Jiguang and Qi Shaobao, when he wrote a letter to Zhang Juzheng, his title was "Minions under the sect..."

Of course, in the Ming Dynasty, the word "minions" was not a derogatory term, but represented loyalty, reliability, and trustworthiness.

Sun Chengzong did not live in Cheng Shijie's Chinese army tent, after all, the name was not justified, but lived in an independent horse-drawn RV given to him by Cheng Shijie. This horse-drawn RV had the same specifications as Xu Guangqi, Sun Yuanhua, and Gao Qiqian.

it's the same.

They are eight feet wide, one foot six feet long, and about one foot four feet high. The interior of the horse-drawn RV is divided into three parts: a living room, a small kitchen and a bathroom.
