However, this was not Zhang Haogu's idea. Even if Nurhachi died, he should not have died like this.
He actually died in the hands of the Ming army.
This is undoubtedly telling the capitulationists in Liaodong, don't worry about whether you have something or not. As long as you dare to come and surrender, we will dare to kill you. Yes, we will kill you. We will also say that you are plotting evil and intending to rebel.
In the end, you were discovered by the wise and powerful Generalissimo, and you were completely wiped out in advance.
The most outrageous thing is that the memorial they submitted to the court was actually a petition for merit.
boom!
Zhu Youxiao slapped the table angrily, his eyes full of murderous intent. He gritted his teeth and said, "Mao Wenlong is so brave. He dares to do whatever he wants!"
Zhang Haogu also picked up the memorial, and his eyes exuded a bit of murderous intent: "Your Majesty, Liaodong is broken, completely broken!"
This is a memorial asking for merit
However, Zhu Youxiao was not stupid. Nurhachi had shaken the entire Liaodong, and even a surrender faction appeared in Liaodong. As a result, because of Mao Wenlong's tampering, he directly killed Nurhachi, directly making the divided Liaodong become monolithic again.
Mao Wenlong asked for credit, but he asked for a large amount of money, saying that he hoped the court could reward the army.
Zhu Youxiao already wanted to kill someone.
This is simply lawless.
If things go wrong, the entire western Liaoning will change hands again.
Zhang Haogu also understood very well that there was nothing he could do about Sun Chengzong mobilizing the Dongjiang Army to go to western Liaoning. He did not have many soldiers under his command, and 20,000 people captured the entire western Liaoning. If he wanted to hold on, he would have to disperse his forces. Mao Wenlong still had
Thirty thousand soldiers and horses, these people can be used just right.
The entire Shanhaiguan defense line constructed by Sun Chengzong also required a lot of manpower and material resources.
To put it simply, Sun Chengzong had no useful people under his command, so he could only let Yuan Chonghuan guard Ningyuan, and let Mao Wenlong and Yuan Chonghuan work together to stabilize Ningyuan first.
Yuan Chonghuan himself was also strengthening Ningyuan's defense line, deploying powerful and invincible general artillery, and arranged for Mao Wenlong to recruit and surrender. He didn't expect you, Mao Wenlong, to fight, but at least Hou Jin's side would not be able to live in peace.
However, no one in Wu Lu expected that things would actually develop in this direction.
Mao Wenlong actually bombed Nurhachi to death.
Zhang Haogu squinted his eyes, looked at the memorial in his hand asking for merit, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, Mao Wenlong has been taking merit for a long time. He boasts that he has tens of thousands of Dongjiang troops in his hands, but he doesn't
Taking the imperial court into consideration, now, now, Liaodong seems to be unstable, Mao Wenlong is thinking!"
Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Haogu and said, "He wants to betray the Ming Dynasty?"
"There is no such thing as rebellion, but according to my estimate, Mao Wenlong must have gone to Tongliao!" Zhang Haogu said slowly: "The war in Liaodong is like this. Your Majesty, you might as well think about it, people like Mao Wenlong want to see Liaodong.
Is the war over?"
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help being slightly stunned: "What?"
"As long as the war in Liaodong does not end!"
Zhang Haogu said slowly: "They can keep coming to the court to ask for money and silver. As long as the war in Liaodong does not end, they can continue to embezzle the court's salary. Your Majesty, this is to support the bandits and respect themselves!"
"These bastards!" Zhu Youxiao gritted his teeth and said, "These bastards, do they really think that I can't cure them?"
"Your Majesty, this is Sun Chengzong's memorial!" Zhang Haogu took out a memorial, placed it in front of Zhu Youxiao and said: "Sun Chengzong asked the Emperor to commend Mao Wenlong and let Mao Wenlong continue to be stationed in western Liaoning honestly.
At this time, Mao Wenlong still needs to be reused and cannot be punished!"
Zhu Youxiao felt that the evil fire in his heart was sizzling out. He gritted his teeth and said, "This Mao Wenlong disobeyed orders and killed Nurhaci. Do I still want to reward him?"
"Your Majesty, I have a memorial here, which was given to me by Yuan Chonghuan. Yuan Chonghuan said that the land serves the Qin Dynasty, but he still holds firewood to put out the fire. If the firewood is not exhausted, the fire will never be extinguished!"
Zhang Haogu slowly said: "In the past, Mao Wenlong was stationed in Pi Island and often lied about his military exploits. The court knew clearly that he was lying about his military exploits. In order to allow Mao Wenlong to continue attacking the Jurchens, this bounty was given to him. But now,
Mao Wenlong is becoming more and more arrogant and wanton and should be severely punished!"
It has to be said that Yuandu Du and Mao Wenlong are really at odds with each other. It is completely a situation where only one of the two can survive.
Don't expect the two of them to cooperate wholeheartedly.
At least one of the two must die.
Zhang Haogu still paused slightly and continued: "He also believes that the entire Liaodong generals have the idea of respecting the bandits and respecting themselves. He believes that at this time, the court must still use thunderous means to rectify the Liaodong generals. In this way
, in order to better appease and stabilize Liaodong!"
"Kill them all!" Zhu Youxiao said coldly: "Who will guard Liaodong? Master Sun? The number of new troops is too small. If they go to guard Liaodong, they will definitely have trouble from all sides, and inside the imperial court, if
If someone makes trouble again, they will have to be suppressed by the new army!"
"emperor!"
Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "My opinion is, kill one to serve as a warning to others!"
Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment, and then slowly said: "Kill one to serve as a warning to others, kill Mao Wenlong?"
“Treat each situation on a case-by-case basis!”
Zhang Haogu thought for a while and said slowly: "I can't say what is happening to Mao Wenlong, but the most important point is that Mao Wenlong and his generals must not be allowed to continue to be in charge of the Dongjiang Army!"
Zhang Haogu didn't want to worry about the feud between Yuan Dudu and Mao Wenlong, and he didn't bother to care about who was right or wrong. However, now the God of War on Pi Island is obviously disobedient. If Mao Wenlong is obedient, his men will kill Nurhachi.
, then Mao Wenlong cannot restrain his subordinates, which is also a problem.
No matter what, Mao Wenlong must be removed. His problems can be investigated slowly, but the Dongjiang Army must be replaced.
"The minister's plan is three-step!" Zhang Haogu said slowly: "First, give Yuan Chonghuan's memorial to the generals at all levels in Liaodong to take a good look at it, so that Yuan Chonghuan can completely offend these Liaodong generals and let them isolate them.
Yuan Chonghuan, as a result, Yuan Chonghuan is left alone and helpless, and he must be completely devoted to the court and the emperor!"
"Second, I will personally go to Liaodong!" Zhang Haogu said slowly: "If there is really something fishy about Mao Wenlong, I can request an imperial edict to execute them on the spot!"
"Third, let me ask for an imperial edict to appease the generals in Liaodong and tell them to let bygones be bygones, but don't imitate Mao Wenlong. The court will easily target them to appease the generals in Liaodong. In the future, we will come back to settle accounts in the autumn!"
Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment and couldn't help but said: "Master, do you want to go there in person?"
"Yes!" Zhang Haogu nodded: "Go on a killing spree!"
