Chapter 43 Fooling me, right?!
“…”
Dongnuan Pavilion fell into silence, and Wu Sangui's face showed a look of surprise and his eyes slightly opened. He didn't know what the emperor meant.
But if his answer is not good, it will arouse suspicion and suspicion of the emperor, then there will be a storm in front of Liao!
“Wow~”
"Bang!"
The sound of the shaking of the armor leaves and the sound of the knees hitting the golden bricks, sounded in the East Warehouse. Han Zanzhou, who was accompanying him, looked alertly at Wu Sangui kneeling on one knee.
"Your Majesty! There is no such thing as before Liao!"
Wu Sangui, who knelt on one knee and bowed with fists, looked moved and said, "When the Eight Banners of the Lu were invading the Ming Dynasty many times, and even invaded the territory of the pass, in front of Liao..."
‘The descendants of the quasi-warlords are the ones who are made by their own clans. As for the interests of the Ming Dynasty, they no longer consider them.’
Looking at Wu Sangui who was excited, he told his heart how the generals in front of Liao were loyal to the Ming Dynasty and defended the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Chongzhen did not listen to a word.
Emperor Chongzhen knew better than anyone else about the virtues of the Liaodong generals.
Treat Liaodong as their gold and silver mountain.
Treat Liaodong as their private territory.
Treat Liaodong as a place where they train private troops.
Before the Liao Dynasty in the third year of Chongzhen, the situation on the surface was the same thing. No one can tell the story of any intricate interest network behind it.
If Emperor Chongzhen dared to take Zu Dashou, the Liaodong general who heard about this would dare to treason collectively.
Since the Emperor of Ming Dynasty could not tolerate them, he simply surrendered to the Tartars. Anyway, they had soldiers in their hands. When they arrived at the Tartars, they would turn their guns to the Ming Dynasty, and their wealth would be even more prosperous!
“Haha~”
Emperor Chongzhen laughed and reached out to Wu Sangui and said, "Get up, I know what you said. If there were no many brave generals and powerful generals in front of Liao, the situation in front of Liao would be even worse.
The Jianlu attacked the Ming Dynasty and entered the pass, which was actually Yuan Chonghuan alone. This had nothing to do with the brave generals and powerful generals in front of Liao.
Although I am angry that Jianlu invaded the Ming Dynasty, I am not angry that the brave generals and generals who are loyal to the Ming Dynasty."
Being the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is frustrating.
Especially since the Wanli Dynasty.
No matter the civil servants in the court, they always hold the sword of the ancestral system, stand on the moral high ground, control the right to speak for public opinion, and give the Emperor Ming a hat.
He was still a military general on the frontier, and he was always surrounded by turmoil, especially if he didn't give enough money and food, he would have a mutiny, bombing the camp, stimulating the court and the Emperor of Ming.
As a lonely man in the Ming Dynasty, although he was the supreme emperor in the world, he was fighting against so many interest groups. The dispute between imperial power and ministers had never disappeared, which was not so easy.
"Han Zanzhou... passed on my oral instructions and ordered the Military Affairs Office and the Ministry of War to have officials, all the Xiyuan Military Academy, to inspect the Shenji Camp."
At present, the court has been in trouble due to the abolition of Tianjin's military and establishment of a prefecture.
Looking at Wu Sangui in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen felt that he would gain some political advantages elsewhere.
As for the current situation in the Ming Dynasty, war is always an extension of politics.
The same is true for controlling the Beijing camp.
Calculate the time, Cao Wenzhao's real tiger generals probably escorted the money from Shanxi to confiscate the house, as well as a group of rebels from the eight major Shanxi merchants, and returned to the capital.
Before they came back, they continued to support Zu Dashou and his group of generals in the Liao Dynasty, fought against the in-service honorary relatives in the Beijing camp, and gave Cao Wenzhao and others, and then moved into Shenji camp to create a relative environment.
"Wu Sangui, what is your character "?"
Looking at Wu Sangui who was accompanying him, Emperor Chongzhen leaning on the cushion, he spoke, "Young talents like you are the pillars of the future of the Ming Dynasty.
In the Xiyuan Martial Arts Hall, I must study hard. I am very optimistic about you and Zu Qing’s descendants. Don’t let me down.”
Since I was rushing to Shenji Camp, I was idle and idle, and spending my boring time with Wu Sangui was also a good choice for Emperor Chongzhen.
"The last thing will be the last one to live up to the holy grace!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Sangui hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the name of "Changbo" is Changbo. After the time of the Xiyuan Martial Arts Hall, he will definitely study hard."
"Changbo? Good to use the word "其典"!"
Emperor Chongzhen nodded and praised: "I hope that there are more young talents like Changbo, the better, but Zuqing and the others always have some concerns.
I feel that I am a foreign general in the Jingying side. Compared with the in-service honorary relatives in the Jingying and the generals and schools in the Jingying, I trust them more.
But in fact... I give high hopes to Zu Qing and the others. Look at the current Jingying, they are called those trashers, what they have trained to do!"
Emperor Chongzhen said the angry words, asking Wu Sangui to sit upright and dare not say much, but he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, is it that the emperor really want to reuse his uncle and father?
Before rushing to the capital, Wu Sangui and others saw warnings in their letters collected. Don’t say what should not be said, and don’t say what should not be said!
The Zu family and the Wu family are in-laws, but in fact they have become a community of interests.
Wu Xiang's successor is Zu Dashou's sister.
What's interesting is.
Zu Dashou also married Wu Sangui's aunt.
Such a phenomenon is extremely normal among the local generals in front of Liao. The interests are deeply involved, so the only way to strengthen the relationship by relying on in-laws.
"Your Majesty... the army base in the Shenji Camp has arrived."
Han Zanzhou's voice sounded outside the imperial carriage, mixed with horse sounds from time to time. Emperor Chongzhen heard this and walked out of the imperial carriage under the service of Wu Sangui.
But the scene in front of him made Emperor Chongzhen frown.
Previously, when inspecting the right garrison of Shenshu Camp, it was randomly selected, so that Emperor Chongzhen could see the dirty and messy environment of the garrison.
I thought that I had clearly stated that I would reduce the amount of troops and the salary reduction in the Beijing camp, and the Ministry of War also stopped issuing two members. The situation of many garrisons in these three camps would improve.
But, nothing has changed!
With the fearful waiting of the honors, military generals, and internal ministers of the Shenji Camp, Emperor Chongzhen, surrounded by a group of ministers and honors, came to the gate of the central army stationed in the Shenji Camp.
"Is this your Shenji Camp, is you expelling troops and reducing salary?"
Looking at the group of honorary relatives, military generals, and internal ministers in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen shook his sleeves and said in a deep voice: "For so long, I didn't think there was any change in your Shenji Camp!
They all fool me like this, right?!"
People who want to pretend to be asleep can't wake them up no matter what method they use. There are too many such people in the Ming Dynasty, which is scattered on top and bottom.
