Both Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou came from the Qingming Dynasty. In the Qingming Dynasty, what civil servants valued was someone who dared to speak up. Some civil servants repeatedly confronted their superiors and even the emperor, even going so far as to get beaten up, just to gain a reputation of not being afraid of power.
But this habit doesn't work with military attaches. What military attaches pay attention to is the distinction between superiority and inferiority. The superior is the superior and the subordinate is the subordinate. What the superior says is an order, and no one is allowed to violate it.
Therefore, although it was strange to see that Li Yan did not seek a decisive battle with the enemy, but instead defended his camp, Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou just sat in their seats and did not dare to say anything.
After Li Yan warned several generals about the details they should pay attention to, he turned to Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou and said with a smile: "General Wu, General Zu, do you have any doubts about the arrangements made by this officer?"
Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou looked at each other and shook their heads together. Zu Dashou smiled bitterly and said: "I don't dare, I am not sure about the arrangements of the Superintendent, but compared to the Superintendent's move, you must have your reasons.
The general will never dare to question the command of the Governor."
"Haha...you guys!" Li Yan pointed at Wu Sangui and laughed, "You must have questions in your hearts, you just don't dare to ask me."
"This... the Superintendent made atonement for his sins. The general was wrong." Wu Sangui and Wu Sangui's mouths twitched for a while, then they just gritted their teeth and lowered their heads to admit their mistake.
Seeing Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou frightened in front of him, Li Yan felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. Once upon a time, he was just a small official. Although he was a moderate celebrity in his hometown, but for people like
For princes like Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou, who held heavy armies, they were not even ants, but now these two big men who used to have to look up could only look at their faces. This is such a big deal.
The contrast.
However, although Li Yan was very proud in his heart, he was also very clear-headed. His power and status today all depended on the man sitting in the Golden Palace and the 20,000 lions of the Third Army.
They themselves are nothing.
Thinking of Pang Gang's instructions to him before leaving, the corners of Li Yan's mouth turned up slightly. Now it was time to reveal the plan to the two of them.
Li Yan said: "General Wu, General Zu, you don't have to be like this. You all blame me for not explaining the matter clearly to you, but it is a major military matter, not just you, even General Li Yuan didn't disclose it. So you
It’s not surprising that I don’t know the meaning of what I’m doing.”
"What, is there something hidden here? Didn't even Li Yuan, the emperor's confidant, know about it beforehand?" Upon hearing this, the Liaodong generals were slightly surprised.
Seeing everyone's surprised look, Li Yan smiled and said: "Everyone knows our purpose this time. The emperor's intention is very clear. Either we don't fight, or if we fight, we must completely beat the Manchu Tatars to the ground.
Let them never stand up again! But how are we going to fight? Do we just rely on our 50,000-strong army? You must have some doubts, right?"
At this point, everyone's faces became embarrassed. To be honest, they were not very optimistic about the plan to attack Shengjing. The reason is very simple. Their military strength is really insufficient. Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty today is not as good as it was a few years ago.
In their heyday, they could still pull out an army of at least hundreds of thousands. It would be extremely difficult for them to capture Shengjing with an army of 50,000.
Seeing the confused looks on everyone's faces, Li Yan knocked on the table a few times and then said: "Okay, everyone, stop guessing. Now it's time to tell you the answer. The emperor's plan to regain Liaodong this time is
It is naturally impossible to rely on our group of people to complete what I have personally formulated. In addition to our group of people, there is also a group of people who will attack Shengjing from another direction, and our task is to defeat the Tatars.
The child is nailed firmly here."
"Wow..."
After listening to Li Yan's words, everyone couldn't help but make a noise. In addition to them, the court also sent another group of people, which was really beyond everyone's expectation.
Zu Dashou spoke first and asked: "Supervisor, is this also what the emperor means?"
Zu Dashou's words made Li Yan frown. From these words, Li Yan could hear Zu Dashou's hidden dissatisfaction. Zu Dashou was dissatisfied with himself for hiding this important matter from him.
Li Yan turned to look at Wu Sangui again. He found that Wu Sangui, a young man, was obviously not as well-mannered as Zu Dashou, and he immediately showed his dissatisfaction on his face and complained.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, as the commander-in-chief of the army, the general and the ancestor are the generals, so the court does not know how to deal with such a big matter. Isn't this a bit unreasonable?"
Seeing these two dissatisfied expressions and words that could be said to represent the Liaodong generals, Li Yan did not explain anything, but said solemnly: "General Zu, this is the emperor's intention, and it is also the governor's intention. It is natural for military aircraft to be important.
The fewer people who know about it, the better. Do you have any opinions?"
For this matter, Li Yan rarely gave an explanation. Instead, he just used the words "military aircraft event" to explain the matter, and asked the two people what their opinions were. This was in sharp contrast to Li Yan's gentle attitude in peacetime.
Until then, Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui suddenly woke up. They realized that the governor in front of them was not a good person. He had already given Zu Dashou and other Liaodong local generals a disincentive when they first arrived in Jinzhou.
Now that he dares to say something about military matters in front of everyone, it shows that he doesn't care about everyone's reaction or their backlash.
Looking at the vaguely indignant expressions of the Liaodong generals, Li Yan sneered: "Don't you hear that in the art of war, soldiers are the place where life and death are important matters of the country. They must be observed. This time the imperial court sent troops to Liaodong in two groups. What a big deal it is.
The Emperor has ordered that no one should reveal anything, and even General Li Yuan only found out today, so why should you do this?"
Everyone turned their attention to Li Yuan, who had been sitting silently next to Li Yan, and saw that the first general who followed the current emperor still looked calm, without any dissatisfaction. Seeing this scene, all the people in Liaodong
The generals also had to put away the dissatisfaction on their faces.
In an army that values strength first, Li Yan holds such a powerful army. No matter how dissatisfied everyone is, they can't do anything to him, not to mention that the person behind him is still looking at them coldly.
Seeing that all the Liaodong generals lowered their heads, Li Yan's expression remained unchanged, but he sneered in his heart. These guys were all hard-working people, and the emperor was right. Sooner or later, he would have to tell them to get out of Liaodong...
....
Just when Li Yan led the army and Huang Taiji faced off at the foot of the Lion Mountain outside Shengjing, there was also a person thousands of miles away in the capital standing next to a huge map with his hands behind his back, looking at Shengjing and Shengjing that had been surrounded by red circles.
surrounding places.
"Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji, if I let you escape this time, it would be so unreasonable!" A faint sigh sounded in this simply decorated study room.
At this time, a eunuch's distinctive sharp voice sounded outside, "The imperial concubine has arrived!"
As the voice arrived, Zhu Ayao, dressed in palace attire, walked in accompanied by two delicate palace ladies.
After the wedding, the nourished Zhu Yuyao changed from her former youthfulness and began to bloom with amazing charm. Although she is only sixteen years old this year, she has received the strictest formal royal education since she was a child, and she appears to be the most luxurious in Pang Gang's harem.
She is beautiful and is very much favored by Pang Gang.
But despite this, Zhu Yuluo did not indulge in pampering. She still maintained good friendship with Wei Manting and Kong Ruolan, the two queens of the East and West Palaces, as well as the two noble concubines Chen Yuanyuan and Li Xuezhu, and even the two dowry maids Ling'er and Qiaoer.
The concubine also had a good conversation. This made Pang Gang marvel at the excellent diplomatic skills of this former Ming royal princess.
After entering the study, Zhu Yuyao covered Pang Gang with a cloak and said softly: "Your Majesty, the weather is getting cold. Why don't you wear more clothes? What should I do if I catch a cold?"
Smelling the faint fragrance of Specific Gravity, Pang Gang didn't answer, but grabbed Zhu Aona's little hand, feeling the delicate softness and just smiled without saying a word.
Although it was her husband who grabbed her hand, she was still not used to this kind of intimacy after receiving a strict royal education since she was a child. She could only shyly lower her head and whisper: "Your Majesty, someone is watching."
Pang Gang laughed: "What are you afraid of? I am being intimate with my own wife, am I breaking a law of heaven?"
Speaking of which, Pang Gang, a guy from later generations, is really incompatible with today's people in some aspects. For example, since he has married seven wives and given them titles, it stands to reason that everyone
There should be a courtyard of their own, and the two queens should even have their own palaces.
But Pang Gang didn't do that. He lived in Qianqing Palace on weekdays and built a three-story building behind the former Qianqing Palace to accommodate his seven wives and four children.
Entering, this move stunned both the civil and military ministers outside the palace and the eunuchs and maids inside the palace.
How could there be such an emperor in the past and present? Couldn't the huge palace not accommodate the emperor and a few concubines?
Faced with the officials who complained one after another about Pang Gang's problematic behavior, Pang Gang simply wrote four words on the paper, "None of your business!" and dismissed them all.
When Zhu Yuyao first got married, she was very puzzled by Pang Gang's approach, but as time went by, she gradually felt the benefits of this approach. At least everyone living in the same house was very lively.
It is also very warm. Several sisters and children talk together every day, and they will not feel lonely or bored when chatting.
Seeing that Zhu Ainao's jade-white neck started to turn red due to his actions, Pang Gang stopped teasing her and chuckled: "Okay, what's the matter with your concubine coming here?".
