Chapter 78 Confessions before the expedition, please follow up)
Wei Zhongxian was a little surprised, so he picked up a glass of wine and drank it to calm his stomach.
Liu Shimin also said: "My good nephew, Yuan Keli is indeed very famous, but he has a very bad temper. Not to mention the eunuchs, even the late emperor, he would be very hard to get along with. Even if he is given an official position,
He won’t remember us either.”
Indeed, Yuan Keli is such a person.
"However, he is very different from those Qingliu. He is non-partisan and capable. He is also known as a detective among the people. If this person is dragged to the court by Donglin, he will cause us trouble, but if he goes to the local government, he can actually exert his power.
effect."
"Well...nephew is right~" Liu Shimin knew he should listen to him.
When Wei Zhongxian saw this, he also smiled and agreed to use Yuan Keli.
This matter was initiated by Hong Chengchou and promoted by two powerful father-in-laws.
Donglin and Zou Yuanbiao will also agree. In this way, the matter of arranging the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou can basically be completed.
Talking about the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou and the Donglin Party, Wei Zhongxian here has some information from the court.
Not long ago, Zou Yuanbiao opposed transferring Yuan Yingtai from Yunnan and Guizhou back to Liaodong. Gao Panlong proposed that Yuan Keli should be appointed governor of Liaodong, and Zhao Nanxing proposed that Yuan Yingtai should still be appointed.
For a moment, Yang Lian, Wang Wenyan and others couldn't make up their minds at all.
At the critical moment, Ye Xianggao, who was still at home, took action and persuaded everyone in Donglin to put military power first.
Then he mobilized his contacts and specifically seized the "Red Pill Case" to launch a fierce attack on Fang Congzhe and the Zhejiang Party. The Donglin Party had unanimous opinions on this matter, and it seemed that he had resolved the internal conflicts.
Fang Congzhe, Yao Zongwen, Liu Tingyuan and others were forced to attack Xiong Tingbi to divert their own pressure.
The "Red Pill Case" and the dismissal of Xiong Tingbi escalated rapidly and reached the point where they had to be dealt with. Therefore, Xiong Tingbi was immediately dismissed without waiting for a discussion on who would take over as Liaodong Manager.
Since there is no one more familiar with the situation in Liaodong than Yuan Yingtai recently, Yuan Keli and others are still far away from the capital and Liaodong, so the imperial court directly selected Yuan Yingtai to take over.
At this time, Yang Lian came to be a good person to win over Xiong Tingbi, and sent the very capable Zhu Tongmeng to investigate whether Xiong Tingbi had actually committed corruption and neglect of duty. The result must be that there was no corruption, but Xiong Tingbi's dismissal had already been decided, and he just acted as a "hindsight"
, did a pretty good job of winning people's hearts.
"It is said that Ye Xianggao is about to leave the mountain. How are we going to deal with him?"
In Wang Hongyu's eyes, Donglin is divided into several factions, which can be divided. In addition to different regions and divisions, there are also differences in whether the actions are radical or moderate.
Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong, Wang Wenyan and Yang Lian belong to Donglin's radical faction. This group will definitely take advantage of the situation to expand their power everywhere, and will definitely lead to confrontation in the future.
Zou Yuanbiao, Ye Xianggao, Huang Zunsu, Zuo Guangdou and many other people belong to the moderate group.
Although they criticize others, they are also pragmatic or keen on teaching. Wang Hongyu does not intend to make too many enemies, so not only will he not have conflicts with these people in the near future, he will try to maintain a friendly attitude.
There are also Sun Chengzong, Yuan Yingtai and even later Xiong Tingbi, etc., who were attracted to join the Donglin Party, and most of them are moderates. Try not to have conflicts with these people to prevent them from being further pushed into the core of the Donglin Party.
At the current stage, we need to accumulate strength, go through previous experiences, and don’t make high-profile enemies for the time being.
Therefore, Ye Xianggao is definitely not an enemy in the short term.
Ye Xianggao and Xiong Tingbi, as well as Gao Huai and Li Chengliang who impeached Liaodong respectively, were all powerful figures with profound knowledge of Liaodong. In addition, he could always stabilize the situation and prevent party disputes or opponents from fighting until their faces were torn apart and their bayonets were red.
To the extent that this person can make Yang Lian, Wang Wenyan, etc. less arrogant.
Historically, Wei Zhongxian got involved with the Donglin Party only after he drove Ye Xianggao away. Although Ye Xianggao always helped the Donglin Party to cover up, Yang Lian would not fight directly when he was around.
Even when Wei Zhongxian was scolded as "illiterate" and came to him angrily, he could persuade Wei Zhongxian to calm down, without even listening to the words of the officials.
Wang Hongyu said that for Ye Xianggao and other people, try not to have conflicts first and prevent an immediate decisive battle with the Donglin Party.
"To deal with those people, we must accumulate strength at the current stage. First, completely stabilize the palace, and do not make enemies in the court for the time being. Let the Donglin Party give priority to dealing with Fang Congzhe and others. We will first remove Wang An from the Donglin Alliance in the palace.
Get rid of it, accumulate some economic and military strength, and then compete with Donglin."
This is one of the fastest ways to gain strength by relying on Wei Zhongxian and even Tianqi.
After discussing serious political matters, we can also engage in technology, open factories, and do things that are fun for foreigners.
Wei Zhongxian knew that Wang Hongyu had left behind a dozen missionaries and seven thousand volumes of Western writings. The conservative civil servants in the court were busy competing for power and official positions after the new emperor ascended the throne. After hastily expelling a group of missionaries, they did not investigate those who had switched careers to work.
He felt that he was too busy and had no time to do these things, so he only held half of the shares and continued to invest, while the rest of the management and dividends were handed over to Wang Hongyu.
This pair of partners complement each other perfectly, and the business will only grow more prosperous as time goes by.
They talked a lot during this banquet but still felt that they still had more to say than they did. Little did they know that they would have fewer and fewer opportunities to get together and negotiate in the future. In the future, the three of them would have very complicated feelings when recalling this moment.
A few days later.
Yuan Yingtai officially took charge of the Liaodong Economic Strategy. He himself was also working hard. He had just gone to Henan and now he has returned to the capital. In the court, he elaborated on his grand plan to appease the Liao people and Mongolia and send an army of 130,000 to suppress the slaves.
Huang Jiashan, the Secretary of the Ministry of War who has made great achievements in the northwest and three regions, was regarded as a dissident by the Donglin Party and has been driven back home.
Huang Kezuan, who was well versed in artillery and military affairs, was isolated and criticized because he did not support the move and was a dissident. He was unable to stop Yuan Yingtai's plan.
On the other hand, Hong Chengchou also immediately wrote a letter exposing the Shuixi'an family's bribery of a large number of officials.
The clear currents gathered in the middle of the court, and they were worried that there was no target, so they all attacked in groups. Fang Congzhe, the first assistant, was being besieged by Donglin. When he saw that he could divert his attention, he immediately made the matter bigger and mobilized the cabinet and the entire court to deal with the matter seriously.
Wang Hongyu and Hong Chengchou were selected at just the right time, and finally Yuan Keli became the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou.
The Shuixi An family has been a local super chieftain since the Tang Dynasty. Seeing the limelight, they quickly kept a low profile. Although the smaller She family was more capable of fighting, they heard that the famous Yuan Keli was working behind their backs as governor, so they immediately restrained themselves.
many.
At least in the short term, the She'an family will not rebel directly, unless the main force of the Sichuan soldiers and white pole soldiers that they feared are completely lost in Liaodong...
As Yuan Yingtai took charge of Liaodong's strategy, he planned a grand plan to attack with an army of 130,000. The main force of the 17,000 Southern Army, which had been training in Pinggu for a long time, also embarked on the road north to Liaodong.
As the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Army, Wang Hongyu opened a new stage.
Now that I am here, the winner of the bloody battle in Hunhe River will also change.
