It turned out that the small group was still a small group. Chen Yongfu suddenly realized that Jiang Quan was not trying to cobble together a new small group for himself, but was just acting as a lobbyist for Tian Jianxiu.
This former Ming Dynasty general in command of Datong was now able to put down his dignity and become a "thief general" of the peasant army that he had always looked down upon in the past. He worked so hard to win over the generals, but he didn't know how sincere or false he was?
But when Chen Yongfu thought about the tragedy in which dozens of members of Jiang Gan's family were massacred after the Battle of Yanmen, he suddenly felt that this person's behavior was probably because Jiang Gan was determined to be loyal to Dashun, right?
Unlike Jiang Gu, who has been stationed in the border area for a long time, Chen Yongfu has always led his troops to fight in the interior of Henan.
For a long time, Chen Yongfu's troops did not have any fixed base. He was even more like a "roving bandit" than the Dashun Army at that time. He was always running from one place to another. Over the course of many months, he almost traveled everywhere.
The entire Henan Province has seen the tragedy in the entire Central Plains.
Chen Yongfu has seen many stories of people eating people.
He knows what the corruption in the Central Plains is like, and he has seen too many tragedies in which whole families and even entire villages die.
Chen Yongfu always thought that he had been hardened enough after seeing these situations. But at this time, Chen Yongfu had a little more understanding of Jiang Yu because of the tragic incident in Datong.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, life is so difficult, everything in the world can never be perfect, and even finding peace of mind and a clear conscience is extremely difficult.
It is extremely difficult to get even one and a half points and be worthy of the present moment.
Chen Yongfu silently looked at the generals drinking at the same table. What he thought in his mind was that it was enough for a person to accomplish what he was capable of. He could not force others to have too much true feelings. As long as Jiang
Quan could fulfill his duties as the founding earl and general of the Great Shun Army, so why bother asking about his true intentions?
The night got darker, and Chen Yongfu felt that he was much drunk. After waiting for a while, until Chen Yongfu felt that the atmosphere was suitable, he said goodbye to Jiang Quan, and left under the escort of several attendants in the palace - Chen Yongfu wanted to find time to go
Talk to Li Laiheng and talk about what he can do and what he can achieve under the pressure of Huang Taiji's 200,000 troops. What Li Laiheng hopes he can achieve.
Chen Yongfu is just a mortal, so he is no different from Jiang Yu.
Chen Yongfu was thinking about leaving like this, while Jiang Quan slowly conveyed Tian Jianxiu's goodwill to Bai Guangen, Zuo Guangxian and others before he confidently went to visit Zehou's house.
The heartache of the Datong tragedy was real, and the grief in Jiang Guan's heart was as real as his resentment at being tricked by his old subordinate Liu Qian.
His plan to win over the generals for Tian Jianxiu is also true.
Jiang Quan wants revenge, but also wants a higher status and more fame and fortune - at least in Jiang Quan's mind, these things are not contradictory to each other, but rather echo each other.
However, in addition to Jiang Quan, Tian Jianxiu also had other more important guests in Zehou's house. Among them, the most powerful one was, of course, the great scholar who currently leads the Tianyou Palace as Pingzhang Zhengshi.
The first phase of the founding of the country is Ox Venus, Ox Qidong.
Qi Weng didn't drink much tonight, but it wasn't because he was as frugal as Tian Jianxiu, but because Niu Jinxing was good at tea but not good at wine.
Today, Niu Qidong's food and clothing expenses are no less than those of a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty. Although his trust in Li Zicheng has been reduced due to the rise of the Qin Party, as the de facto independent prime minister of Dashun
, his power is still very great, and he has also recruited a number of old officials from the Ming Dynasty under his sect.
Except for the impenetrable Huguang in Dashun, about half of the entire civil service system is still under the control of Niu Jinxing's disciples and former officials.
"Shao Shichang's letter has been sent to Gansu."
Niu Jinxing knocked on the table, showing a strong sense of anxiety in his heart. It was Niu Jinxing's idea to ask Shao Shichang, the mastermind next to Li Shuangxi, to write a letter to Dang Shousu. Li Shuangxi himself didn't even know about this letter.
What is the content of .
Tian Jianxiu was a little hesitant. He had a good relationship with Li Guo. They had known each other for more than ten years. In Tian Jianxiu's heart, Dashun Jiangshan was actually the property of the Li family. What does it have to do with him? Now he is in
Doing these things behind the scenes actually seems to be a bit of a villain.
Niu Jinxing asserted: "Double happiness...Yihou was ordered by His Majesty to change his surname back to his original name. Your Majesty did not even inform me about this matter beforehand! The so-called title of Prime Minister of Pingzhang Government is just a false title after all!"
Tian Jianxiu closed his eyes and sighed: "With Shuangxi's current achievements, he would not be able to be granted the title of Marquis. Your Majesty has made Shuangxi a Marquis of Yi, which is already a special grace and honor. Moreover, the word "righteousness" means Qi Weng.
You should also know that the meaning is very good."
"I mean, the problem lies in the word "righteousness". He is also an adopted son, why doesn't your majesty let Li Laiheng return to the clan? What's more, Li Laiheng is so young, even younger than the Marquis of Yi! Isn't he also a Marquis? Li Guo
He has already been granted the title of Marquis of Jing, and Li Laiheng has been granted the title of Marquis of Sui. Then, a hundred years after Li Guo passes away, who will inherit Li Guo's title of Marquis of Jing? What does Your Majesty mean by this arrangement? Is it possible that Li Laiheng is not wanted to inherit Li Guo's title?
Do you want Li Laiheng to inherit another title instead of inheriting something else?"
Niu Jinxing kept asking questions, obviously he was particularly dissatisfied with Li Zicheng's knighthood arrangement at the founding ceremony. Li Shuangxi - now we should call him Zhang Nai, Zhang Nai was asked to change his surname back to his sect, which made Niu Jinxing angry.
Quite a sense of crisis.
Tian Jianxiu was a little helpless: "Recently, the frontline cavalry has sent back military information. It is said that at the Yanmen Pass and Ningwuguan lines, the activities of the captive army are frequent and there is a large number of troop movements. I am particularly worried that the captive army will take advantage of our preparations for the founding ceremony.
Yu, launched a surprise attack. I have personally seen the power of Luqi in the Battle of Yanmen. Although His Majesty personally mentioned that the army is here now, it is just in case...in case something unexpected happens on the front line. Qi Weng, you talk about these things in vain, and then
What good is the world's affairs?"
"Marquis Ze, it's not that I'm overly worried. It's actually Li Guo and Li Laiheng who are so aggressive. Their father and son were granted the title of marquis, and they are two powerful generals. Even if I don't think about Yihou, I still have to think about your majesty. Is it possible for me to do so?
Just sit back and watch what happened to Chen Qian in the Southern Dynasty?"
Chen Qian was Emperor Chen Wen of Nanchen in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. He was not the heir of Emperor Chen Wu, Chen Baxian, but the eldest son of Chen Baxian's younger brother, Chen Daotan, the king of Shixing Zhaolie. In the late years of the Southern Liang Dynasty, Chen Baxian led troops to attack Hou Jing and took control of Jiangdong.
, his biological son Chen Chang and others stayed in Jingzhou with Emperor Yuan of Liang, and ended up being captured by the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
When Chen Ba died, his parents and children were not around, so his nephew Chen Qian succeeded to the throne and became Emperor Chen Wen. After Chen Qian's death, the crown prince he established, Chen Bozong, was usurped by his brother Chen Xu, King Ancheng.
Niu Jinxing's words directly pointed out that Li Guo and Li Laiheng were disobedient and compared them to the family of King Shixing of Nanchen. If Tian Jianxiu hadn't been listening to the scribes around him telling history recently, he wouldn't have paid attention to the Southern Dynasties. Regarding Chen's past, when he heard Qi Weng criticize Li Guo like this, he would definitely be furious.
Tian Jianxiu did not want any conflicts within the Dashun Army. He held down Niu Jinxing's hand and said sincerely:
"Shuangxi is very happy about being granted the title of Marquis. You, Qi Weng, also know very well what this child's temperament is. Just send Shao Shichang's letter to Dang Shousu. Don't talk too much about this matter with Shuangxi in the future. There are various truths hidden underneath.”
Niu Jinxing held her forehead and sighed: "Zehou, Zehou, what a big man Yihou is! He is so brave on the battlefield, how can you treat him as a baby! Even if he is a baby, he is your majesty's righteousness. Son, Your Majesty himself has no heirs, and this baby is the son-in-law of Zehou. How can such a relationship be good? Maybe we will all feel like Li Si's yellow dog!"
Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, was framed by Zhao Gao and when he was being escorted away with his second son, he sighed, "I want to go to Cai Dongmen with Ruofu and lead the yellow dog to chase the cunning rabbit, but how can I succeed!".
But this is the story of the fall of Qin. Tian Jianxiu frowned immediately when he heard it. He refuted it in a rare and tough tone:
"The new foundation of Dashun has just been laid, so this is not the time to talk about this! Qi Weng, if you are really serious about this, why not talk to Military Advisor Song about another matter. His Majesty recently talked to me, and he intends to let Shuangxi do it locally. A military governor. A local military governor is not as good as commanding the troops in the middle camp. If Qi Weng is interested, he will let the military advisor of the Song Dynasty talk to him and find ways to keep Shuangxi in the middle camp."
When Tian Jianxiu mentioned Song Xiance, Niu Jinxing felt even more helpless:
"Song Xiance is indeed an old friend of mine, but he has never been involved in our affairs. And since he went to Dezhou to meet Li Laiheng, he has been saying good things about Li Laiheng in front of His Majesty all day long, and asked him to say it to the Marquis of Yi. Things are also very difficult...but you are right, it is much better for Yihou to remain in the Zhongying Qinjun than to become a military governor."
Tian Jianxiu nodded:
"It won't take long for the Japanese army to move south. Shuangxi is brave and good at fighting. With him in the middle camp, our chances of winning will be even greater. This battle may be bigger than the one where we defeated Sun Chuanting in Xin'an. , there are still many opportunities for double happiness and meritorious service."
