Renzi Scroll, Section 113: The Power of Public Opinion
"Public opinion?" Ye Xianggao's expression changed a little as if he was touched by something, and he didn't speak for a while.
"Brother Jinqing, what's wrong?" Li Sancai asked in surprise.
"I'm worried that public opinion will inevitably criticize me and others in the future." Ye Xianggao sighed, "The Xuanfu army behaved in such a tantamount to rebellion, but the imperial court pretended to be deaf and mute and turned a blind eye.
This doesn’t make sense.”
Ye Xianggao's words made both Li Sancai and Zhang Huaichang slightly change their expressions. Didn't the two of them take this into consideration, but once the Xuanfu Army is declared to be rebelling, there will be no room for maneuver, although the Jizhen Army is currently blocking it.
The Xuanfu Army, but the situation in Datong Town is unclear. If Yang Yuan fails to gain an advantage over Sun Shaozu, the Datong Army will also take advantage of the situation to overwhelm you, and I am afraid that You Shigong cannot stop it.
In fact, Datong is very close to Gyeonggi Province. Whether you come from Ping'an Prefecture on Xinping Road or from Yuzhou via Bao'an Prefecture, it is very close. Moreover, the Xuanfu Army has controlled the entire west. Sun Shaozu wants to
It is very convenient to lead the Datong Army here.
The Jizhen Army itself was inferior to the Xuanfu Army, and some of them were still stationed in the east to deal with the Chahar people's harassment. Even though You Shigong judged that the Chahar people's harassment was a kind of containment, he did not dare to ignore it.
, once the hole is opened, and the Chahar people rush into Gyeonggi Province with another large army, I am afraid that he, the commander-in-chief of Ji Town, will really be in trouble.
Under such circumstances, if Sun Shaozu's Datong Army and Xuanfu Army join forces to advance eastward, You Shigong will definitely not be able to resist it...
"What Xiang Ye said is true. If it was the 23rd day, we could explain it by saying that we didn't know the situation yet, but if it takes 35 days, the people in the capital will definitely understand it, and public opinion will turn around, and we will not be able to absolve ourselves of the blame.
"Li Sancai is even more worried. He has received more favor from Emperor Yonglong, but at this time he shrinks due to power or interests. This will be a stain in the minds of the scholars, and of course the same goes for Ye Xianggao as the chief minister.
Zhang Huaichang nodded with a heavy face: "Then we can only declare clearly that Niu Jizong has rebelled, remove Niu Jizong from the post of Governor-General of Xuan, order the Xuanfu army to immediately stop any actions, and not accept Niu Jizong's orders, and let Long Jinwei search the private rooms in Niu Jizong's mansion.
Prison, but I am afraid that the generals of the Xuanfu Army will not listen at all, and there is also Datong. Once the border wall is completely opened, it is difficult to say whether the Chahar and Tumote people outside the border wall will have other reactions.
…”
This is also an issue that must be faced squarely.
If the Chahar and Tumote people outside the border wall were to know that Xuanfu, Datong, and Jizhen, the three major border towns facing them, were attacking each other due to civil strife, they would inevitably come up with the idea of profiting from it.
The recurrence of last year's situation would be an unbearable burden for the Gyeonggi Province and the imperial court. The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development is still struggling to restore the economy of the Gyeonggi region, and the refugee problem has not yet been completely solved.
While the three of them were discussing, Zhang Huaichang saw his entourage and a family member of Ye Mansion peeking at the door. He couldn't help but feel a little angry. Why are you so unruly?
But in front of Ye Xianggao and Li Sancai, he couldn't help but ask in a cold voice, "What's going on?"
"Sir, this is an urgent letter from Mr. Feng of Shuntian Prefecture sent back from Tiewang Mountain. He requested that it be handed over to you and presented to Prime Minister Ye and Prime Minister Li." Chang Sui said cautiously.
"Oh?" Zhang Huaichang's face softened slightly, "Feng Ziying's letter?"
Ye Xianggao and Li Sancai also heard this and were quite surprised and a little curious as to what Feng Ziying had in mind.
They already knew that it was Feng Ziying who persuaded King Zhonghui to send troops from the Beijing camp, and that it was he who persuaded Xu Dahua to let You Shigong send out the army to the west in advance.
The former was fine. King Zhonghui was originally a layman and had no independent opinions. It was understandable that he was fooled by Feng Ziying. However, it was not easy for Xu Dahua to be persuaded. Such a cautious person was actually persuaded to dare to issue an order.
He didn't even have the chancellor Zhang Huaichang, so he can't help but be said to be an anomaly.
Zhang Huaichang read ten lines at a glance, quickly read it, and handed it to Ye Xianggao, who also read it and handed it to Li Sancai. Ye and Li were also quite moved after reading it.
"Huaichang, what do you think?" Ye Xianggao and Li Sancai exchanged glances and asked.
Zhang Huaichang noticed the change in the two men's attitudes, and it seemed that Feng Ziying's suggestion moved them.
"I originally wanted to pull the trigger and consider using Chai Guozhu's Shanxi Town, but Shanxi Town is a bit far away, and there are also Niu Jizong's gang members in Shanxi Town. I didn't expect that Feng Ziying actually came up with this idea, but it was a bit risky." Zhang Huaichang pondered for a while, "
But the risk is worth taking.”
"Huaichang, Feng Ziying must have written letters to You Shigong, otherwise he would not dare to make this suggestion, but this guy's arms are a bit too long." Li Sancai also stroked his beard and thought deeply, but he changed the subject,
"The line from the Stone City Box to the Dashui Valley is also where the Chahar people's troops are pointing. In case..."
Gu Yu/span> "Ziying made it very clear that one or two departments were transferred, but not all of them were free. Even if the Chahar people have some spies working in our capital city, they may still have a partial understanding of our internal situation. The scholars and people in the capital city
How many people can understand this situation? And even if they know it, it will take time to transmit it back, so this is a time difference problem. Send troops from the front line of Shichengxi Dashui Valley, break into Sihaizhi along the Chaohe River, control Yongning, and fight
Niu Jizong was caught off guard and attacked his rear, forcing him to retreat..."
Speaking of this, Zhang Huaichang couldn't help but smile and shake his head: "This is just a beautiful dream. In fact, being able to break through and enter Sihaizhi is enough to make Niu Jizong's liver and gallbladder split. Losing Yanqing Prefecture directly threatens Yanqing Youwei."
Now, I'll see where his Xuanfu army goes back."
Li Sancai also shook his head, "How is that possible? The limit is just one or two troops from Ji Zhen. I'm worried about whether I can control Sihaizhi."
"It should be possible to catch someone by surprise." Zhang Huaichang said: "Chaohe is still in the hands of the Jizhen Army, and Niu Jizong only controls Changping Prefecture. This may be a fatal mistake on his part, but it may not be that he doesn't want to, but that
He may not be able to do it, his main goal is to go to Beijing."
The Chaohe River is located about 40 to 50 miles northeast of Changping Prefecture. It faces Sihaizhi in Xuanfu Town across the Great Wall. To the east are Mutianyu, Dashui Valley and Huairou, and further to the northeast is Shichengxi.
Sihaizhi is the most important guard post in the east wing of Yanqing Prefecture. It is closely adjacent to Heihanling Fort and Zhousigou Fort on the Outer Great Wall. It is also an important place to deal with these two passes. It is also adjacent to Yongning City.
Yongning is the most important grain and grass supply base in Yanqing Prefecture, and also has the largest equipment and armor repair station in Yanqing Prefecture.
Ji Zhen controls the Great Wall, and if they attack suddenly, the Xuanfu Army probably has never thought that Ji Zhen Army can counterattack in this situation. It is very possible to capture Sihaizhi. Can it be captured?
Yongning is hard to say.
"Then let's fight?" Ye Xianggao thought for a while, "Let's not mention it for the moment. The Ministry of War ordered You Shigong to attach it and dispatch two troops to capture Sihaizhi, seize the opportunity to attack Yongning, and cut off the Xuanfu army's retreat...
…”
"Okay." Li Sancai and Zhang Huaichang both nodded.
Just as he was talking, he heard another voice outside the door, but this time it was Ye Xianggao's long attendant, "Sir, Prince Yi Zhong is here to visit."
The three of them were startled and exchanged glances. Ye Xianggao frowned and said, "Coming to Wenyuan Pavilion at this time is not a good one."
"It's still a bit strange. Why did Prince Yi Zhong choose to come at this time?" Li Sancai was quite puzzled. "Either he should have come two days ago, or he should have come when the situation became clear and favorable to him. Come at this time,
What’s the purpose?”
"You'll know when you see him. You two will avoid it for now, but don't leave in a hurry. No matter what his intention is, I won't give him a clear answer, but I guess I can figure out his purpose...
"Ye Xianggao said calmly: "But now, we can't attack him directly, otherwise the emperor will fall into a coma and the Supreme Emperor will intervene, then we will be passive."
Prince Yitada also knew that this was not a good time to visit, but when he saw the news published in "Today's News", he knew that something was wrong.
"Today's News" did not publish other news. It just talked about the "great achievements" of Lao Si since he succeeded to the throne, from quelling the rebellion in Ningxia to expanding the western frontier, from opening up the sea to developing the east side, from increasing finance and taxation to building water conservancy projects.
Such a long speech to build momentum is clearly targeted.
As expected, there is an editor's note below, which proposes to ensure that there are successors to the cause of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and that the crown prince should be established as soon as possible, so that the imperial power will be permanent.
Obviously this is just the beginning, and all kinds of voices will quickly emerge in the capital. Whether it is the prince or the superintendent, they will take advantage of the fourth son's unconsciousness to make Zhang Chi, Zhang Qi, Zhang Ji, Zhang So, Zhang Ji and others quickly
Entering everyone's sight, we began to explore the possibility of several of them as candidates, and the purpose of all this was to completely exclude ourselves from the legal and moral principles.
He has to come.
If you don't come, there will be no chance at all. If you come and express your attitude, you can also test the attitude of the princes in the court. If you really don't have a chance, you should make plans early.
He also thought about asking his father to speak out, but after some insinuations, he found that his father had long given up on intervening in these matters. No matter how he tried, there was no response, and even through the concubine, he received no response. This made Prince Yohitada very disappointed.
.
The only chance now is to see the attitude of these civil servants. Zhang Chi's performance is not popular, and Zhang So is too young, so is it possible for him to take the initiative to serve as a supervisor?
Prince Yi Zhong himself is not sure, no matter how small the hope is, he will give it a try. He has been in contact with Ye Xianggao and others, and feels pretty good, but he also knows that this is more of a symptom, and he has to give it a try.
