Yuan Chonghuan took a deep breath. If he wants to make this a big deal and make it a trivial matter, he can only put forward conditions. It's not that I can't do it, but that the conditions you gave me don't meet.
In this way, everything that is not right can be pushed onto you, making you dumb and unable to tell the story of your sufferings.
"Your Majesty, the matter in Liaodong has been going on for a long time. The three feet of ice did not freeze in a day. It is the result of the 40 years of accumulated abuses since the Wanli Dynasty. It cannot be solved in five years." Yuan Chonghuan said.
Chongzhen and his ministers all listened with their ears pricked up.
He said that Liao would be restored in five years, but now he is raising difficulties and saying that it cannot be solved in five years, so he must impose conditions.
"If you want me to regain Liaodong in five years, your majesty must agree to some conditions." Yuan Chonghuan said loudly. Now that the cabinet members are here, whatever they say is testimony, and the emperor will not be able to deny it.
"My dear, if you have any conditions, I will definitely agree to them." Chongzhen said seriously.
Yuan Chonghuan said in his heart, okay, this is what you said. There are always conditions that you can't agree to, so don't blame me for not being able to implement them.
"First of all, we must ensure that soldiers' military pay is paid on time, and their weapons and equipment must be excellent. Only when elite soldiers are fully paid can soldiers fight." Yuan Chonghuan said.
The ministers were shocked. The most difficult thing for the imperial court now was finance. Liaodong's military expenditure was huge and it had been prioritized. There was still a large amount of unpaid wages. Some of the unpaid wages in other border towns were three or four years old. This would be very difficult to achieve.
Some officials sneered, no wonder this southern barbarian dared to boast that he was waiting here at Haikou.
Chongzhen's face turned red and white, and he said word by word: "I promise you, if the Ministry of Revenue does not have enough money, I will give it to you from the inner treasury."
Yuan Chonghuan's heart trembled. The emperor was still too young. He was just like a child. If he liked a toy, he would get it no matter what.
"The personnel arrangements in Liaodong, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Personnel are related to personnel issues in Liaodong. I need to agree. Those who can be used and those who cannot be used will not be used. It is up to the ministers to promote and demote them." Yuan Chonghuan said.
The ministers discussed that this was asking for personnel power. This request was a bit excessive.
Chongzhen calmed down at this time. "I also promise you this. If you have any personnel changes, just go ahead and make them. I will approve them."
Yuan Chonghuan took a deep breath. He was given financial rights and personnel appointment and removal rights.
"I have more than enough ability to subdue the slaves, but I am an upright person. I cannot handle everything and satisfy all the ministers in the court. If I have done something good, some people will be jealous and impeach me. If I have a small
There will also be setbacks and impeachment constraints. These will interfere with my work and affect my determination."
The ministers all of a sudden wanted to take over the financial and human resources power, but before they could get it, they actually wanted to remove the supervision over him. This is a bit too much.
Chongzhen looked serious. If he agreed to this, he would completely let Yuan Chonghuan go solo.
"Don't worry, I know this well, and you don't have to be afraid of impeachment." Chongzhen said slowly, "I will also give you the Shang Fang Sword, allowing you to kill first and then report."
Yuan Chonghuan was stunned, he could agree with this. He was anxious, and he really couldn't find a reason.
"I have one more thing to say. For matters in Liaodong, there are governors, governors, and supervisors. The three powers check and balance each other, which affects efficiency. Discord between governors will also lead to disaster. I request the court not to set up governors and governors. All affairs will be handled by
I am responsible for you alone."
The ministers were speechless. What do you want to do, build an independent kingdom?
"I promise you!" Chongzhen did not hesitate. He has given you so many conditions, including this one.
Yuan Chonghuan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. His mouth was full of bitterness.
"Liaodong is not isolated. Tianjin, Ji Town, Liaodong Town, Denglai, Shandong, and Dongjiang are all the front lines against the Jiannu. I request that all battalions, guards, cavalry troops, and naval forces in these places make overall plans.
They are all led by my ministers, and all the food, fodder and materials are mobilized by my ministers.”
Yuan Chonghuan gritted his teeth and said.
"But, these places are all under your supervision."
Yuan Chonghuan was stunned, he could agree with this.
He really has no conditions he can offer. It's over.
Seeing that he had calmed down, Chongzhen turned around and asked, "Is there any problem with the household department?"
Gu Xiang, the Minister of Hubu sighed, and said to Yuan Chonghuan: "Don't worry, Mr. Yuan, the power of the Hubu will cooperate."
Chongzhen asked again: "Is there any problem with the officials?"
The Minister of Rites hurriedly came out and said, "There is no problem on my side. We will fully cooperate with Mr. Yuan in his personnel appointments and dismissals."
Chongzhen asked: "Where is the Ministry of War? What do you mean here?"
The Minister of War saw that the emperor and the two ministers agreed. Although he was reluctant, he did not dare to take this responsibility.
No one is a fool. This Yuan Manzi has finished bragging and now wants to find excuses to change his mind.
If anyone says it can't be done, well, the blame will be placed on your head.
Yuan Manzi can smile crookedly, and his heart feels full, thank you.
"Good man, good man"
"There is no problem with the Ministry of Industry. Weapons, gunpowder, and armor will be the first to be supplied to Liaodong. All other border towns will be sent to the back."
Chongzhen looked at Yuan Chonghuan and said: "If you still have conditions, please tell me. All the ministers in charge are here today to solve it for you."
Yuan Chonghuan's mouth was full of bitterness and he couldn't say a word.
Seeing that he had nothing to say, Chongzhen said: "I have issued a decree to appoint Yuan Chonghuan as the governor of Jiliao, the censor of Zuodu, and the governor of Liaodong. He will be in charge of all the six towns of Tianjin, Jizhen, Liaodong, Shandong, Denglai, and Dongjiang.
Water, infantry, and cavalry troops. Personnel arrangements are made by oneself. Shang Fang is given a sword, which can be killed first and then reported. The situation in Liaodong is urgent and cannot be without a supervisor for a day. Yuan Aiqing should take up his post as soon as possible."
The ministers bowed down to accept the order.
The emperor then drove back to the harem.
The ministers all dispersed, and Yuan Chonghuan stood alone on the platform, a little dazed.
"Master Yuan, the meeting is over, it's time for you to leave the palace." Young Eunuch Shuangxi reminded him softly.
Yuan Chonghuan nodded, turned around and walked towards Donghua Gate.
Zunhua, Yang Mansion.
Yang Fan sat cross-legged on the floor, surrounded by Lin Yueru and Tu Shanyue, while Mei Xiang served him tea and water.
Lin Yueru got into work very quickly, and within a short time of arriving in Zunhua, she integrated the intelligence network left by Wei Zhongxian and resumed formal operations.
Yang Fan is listening to the report on what happened in Beijing during this period.
Lin Yueru said with emotion: "I really make friends wherever I go. When the father-in-law and maids in the palace heard that I was looking for information, they all volunteered one by one and were willing to work for me."
Yang Fan smiled, the human heart is made of flesh, if you treat him well, he will naturally think of you. What is the biggest principle in the world, that is, equal exchange.
Yang Fan and his men respect others and treat them equally. Naturally, they gained their favor.
After the three of them listened, they all felt a little emotional. Governor Yuan had tried all his tricks but couldn't make a difference. If he doesn't do it later, things will probably get worse.
Having agreed to so many conditions, and with everyone in the world watching, he will not be able to deal with the aftermath by then.
"What is Governor Yuan doing now?" Yang Fan asked.
"I'm lingering in the capital, still thinking about it." Lin Yueru curled her lips and said.
That's right, if you don't leave and drag it on, you can continue to think of a solution. If you go to take the job, you will have no solution at all and you can only do what you brag about.
