When Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian found out that all the other coalition military attachés were obedient, but only Wu Shigong and three other Henan military attachés did not listen to their "discussions," their noses suddenly became angry.
In fact, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian wanted to seize such a small amount, not entirely for selfish reasons. Of course, in the seizure, they were given a share in accordance with official rules, and they would not refuse it pretending to be noble.
However, in addition to giving some of these seizures to the Liaodong Army to appease them, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian planned to return most of the rest to the coalition forces that had made the greatest contribution today.
Although this seems to be a change from the reduction and exemption of the share of seizures surrendered by the coalition forces, this is a matter of the leadership's authority and a principle that cannot be compromised.
But Wu Shigong and the other three slapped them hard in the face. How could this not make Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian furious?
However, as Wu Shigong estimated, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian were not able to retaliate openly, but for these two officialdom veterans, covert revenge was also handy.
There are two ways to take revenge. One is not to report Wu Shigong's past merits, and the other is to block Wu Shigong's future meritorious service. Anyway, the central idea is to prevent Wu Shigong from being promoted.
But from an objective point of view, Wu Shigong’s reaction this time was indeed excessive. From the perspective of the Runing camp, it was indeed detrimental to the interests, but from the perspective of Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian, they also had to balance the various branches.
The relationship between military units. This is a question where the butt determines the head. To be fair, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian's handling of the seizures was relatively fair.
Of course, Wu Shigong also has very good reasons for his objections. But unfortunately, Wu Shigong's reasons for his objections cannot be said publicly. It is not necessarily that he wants to say: The reason why the Runing camp is not surrendered is to expand its strength? Just to become a prince? That is not peace.
Is there any difference between openly declaring rebellion?
Therefore, under impulse, Wu Shigong made such a reaction that was not in line with the rules of the officialdom. This, of course, also made Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian create an image of Wu Shigong as a military attaché who robs money, grabs credit, and never gets rid of anything. This
No wonder Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian wanted to take revenge immediately.
It can also be seen that the personnel arrangement of the Runing Battalion for this expedition was incomplete. Wu Shigong did not bring any literati staff such as Deng Qifan or Zhang Xuebin on the expedition, which also led to Wu Shigong's arbitrary handling of officialdom issues.
Otherwise, with the persuasion and mediation of Deng Qifan and others, although the Runing Battalion would still inevitably suffer some losses in terms of profits, at least it would not have reached the point where it was incompatible with the coach. Even the conflict with the Liaodong Army would not have happened.
It will not be intensified. After all, the Liaodong Army only received hundreds of armors. It is not worth it to do such an excessive "naked corpse incident" for these things. This can also be deeply seen that within a political group, familiarity
The importance of literati with officialdom rules.
As an aside, in the original history, Li Zicheng's peasant rebel army did not pay attention to the literati, and as a result, Li Zicheng and others were on the run soon after they captured Beijing.
The reason is that there are too few literati around Li Zicheng. The only ones Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance are just low-level officials who have been bullied and have a strong desire to retaliate against society. They are not very good at governing the country. And in the legend
Li Yan? If there really was such a figure in history, he was never a core member of Li Zicheng's group.
After the victory in the Huangxian Battle, of course, they had to announce their victory to the court again. However, in the memorial submitted to Emperor Chongzhen, the three military attachés from Henan - Wu Shigong, Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng - unfortunately turned into one word -
"Waiting". Whenever they are mentioned, the memorials of Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian are replaced by "Vice General Liu, etc."
Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian used Spring and Autumn style, and they did not falsely report military information. They just ignored Wu Shigong and others. Of course, the names of these three people were definitely not in the merit report book.
Of course, it was impossible for Wu Shigong and the other three to see the memorials of Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian. Wu Shigong was mentally prepared to be deprived of military honors anyway, but Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng were not fools, and they basically guessed that Zhu Dadian and Gao Qi
Hidden approach.
But it doesn't matter to Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng. They advance and retreat together with Wu Shigong. Although there are some reasons why fellow villagers cling to each other, the main reason is that Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng both know that they have no future.
Chen Zhongzhi will not talk about him. He was not doing well in the Henan Governor's Biao Camp. No matter how meritorious he was, the Henan Governor could not leave the Governor's Biao Camp to Chen Zhongzhi to lead him.
Jiang Cheng lost his main support because of Jiang Guerrilla's death. It turned out that Jiang Guerrilla's guerrilla camp would definitely be led by other military attaches arranged by the imperial court. After all, Jiang Cheng was too far away from the official position of guerrilla.
There are also two levels: garrison and captaincy. As a relative and confidant of the former guerrilla, Jiang Cheng will definitely not have a bright future when the new guerrilla takes office.
Besides, in the "Laizhou Victory" and Shahe Victory when Liu Yulie led the army, Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng had already earned enough military merits. When the court awarded them rewards after the war, the most they could do was to give them a false title.
, but I don’t know how to move. This is just like Wu Shigong now has the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Capital and is actually in charge of Runing’s defense.
Isn’t it necessary that after they have achieved military merit, the court will give them false titles? Let’s take a modern example: if an official is receiving treatment at the chief minister or deputy ministerial level, but his actual official position is a county magistrate at the division level.
, wouldn’t that just become a joke? The imperial court would not do that.
The only advantage of having a false title is that it makes you more prestigious in official interactions, and the court gives you more salary. But we all know that the salary of officials in the Ming Dynasty was negligible in the total income of court officials. Therefore,
A military attaché who doesn't like false fame very much and is unlikely to have false fame will definitely choose to earn such a large amount of money first.
But when Emperor Chongzhen read the memorial announcing the victory, another interesting thing happened. After Emperor Chongzhen learned about the great victory in Huang County, he was of course very happy. But when he read the contents of the memorial carefully, he found that
A son-in-law of a Hou family who stole a young widow disappeared mysteriously. This also shows that Wu Shigong was indeed notorious in the heart of Emperor Chongzhen.
Emperor Chongzhen was immediately furious, not because of Wu Shigong, but mainly because Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian dared to hide themselves and colluded to hide themselves. How could this not make the controlling Emperor Chongzhen angry? So, Chongzhen
The emperor immediately asked Wang Chengen to investigate clearly what happened?
Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian, who were in charge of the army, must also have people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei. Under Wang Chengen's investigation, he quickly reported the ins and outs of everything that happened.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw that this was the case, he didn't pursue it further. However, when he saw the contradiction between the coalition forces and the Liaodong Army, he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.
The Liaodong Army spent a lot of food and salary from the court, but all it brought to Emperor Chongzhen was the loss of his troops and the humiliation of the country. What's even more annoying is that the Liaodong Army has vaguely become an independent kingdom.
The Liaodong Army fled the capital, and Emperor Chongzhen had no choice but to send eunuchs to appease him. Therefore, the arrogant Emperor Chongzhen had long disliked the Liaodong Army.
But now that there is such a greedy and lustful military attache who has caused the Liaodong Army to suffer some losses, it seems that evil people still need to be punished by evil people!
However, Wang Chengen did not speak for Wu Shigong this time. He advised Emperor Chongzhen: "Wu Dusi is so greedy for money, no wonder Governor Zhu and Gao Gong would treat him like this. However, they only taught Wu Dusi a lesson and did not publicly punish him according to military law.
.It also shows that Governor Zhu and Eunuch Gao are quite broad-minded and still remember the emperor’s great trust.”
Emperor Chongzhen also nodded in agreement with Wang Chengen's words. After all, he was not interested in redressing Wu Shigong's injustice.
Emperor Chongzhen pointed to Wu Shigong's name on the report and said to Wang Chengen: "This man has a bad character and really insults the honor of his ancestors. Wu Hou is elegant and diligent. Although Xue Hou is said to be careless in doing things, his character is also quite good. It's really true.
The nine sons of the dragon are all different! Although they are considered brave, in the previous dynasty, such people who have small talents but no great virtues would never use them."
Wang Chengen immediately smiled and flattered him: "Isn't it that the emperor has a broad mind and knows people well?"
Emperor Chongzhen also laughed. But after laughing for a while, he put away his smile and sighed: "What a troubled time!"
The reason why Wang Chengen wants to help Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian this time is because after the change of chief assistants, an alliance between the new chief assistants Wen Tiren and Cao Huachun has been vaguely formed between the internal and external dynasties. Although Wang Chengen is not very
He likes to seize power, but he also doesn't like other eunuchs from the inner court to climb on his head. So in order to fight against Cao Huachun, Wang Chengen put aside the feud between the ceremonial eunuch and the imperial horse eunuch, and took the initiative to take this opportunity to
Gao Qiqian extended an olive branch.
After seeing that the goal of not acknowledging Wu Shigong's previous achievements was achieved, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian took another approach to block Wu Shigong's future achievements.
During the military meeting after a day's rest, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian ordered the entire army to march out immediately, strike while the iron was hot, capture Dengzhou City, and completely eliminate Kong Youde's rebels.
However, during the military meeting, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian arranged for Wu Shigong to lead Chen Zhongzhi and Jiang Cheng to form a partial division to recover Zhaoyuan first, and then advance along the coast to mop up the defeated troops left behind by the pacification of the rebels.
, and finally surrounded Dengzhou City from the south of Dengzhou City. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster! ·
