Nanming Yiming

Chapter 190 Shameless Old Thief He
Hearing that He Tengjiao made an appointment to meet with him, Du Yinxi knew that his immediate boss was here to grab credit.

In fact, Du Yinxi was able to serve as the governor of Huguang thanks to He Tengjiao's recommendation, and Du Yinxi still feels grateful for his support and support.However, this supervisor is really too narrow-minded, and repeatedly obstructs Daming's great cause of recovery for his own selfishness. At this time, the two of them have long been strangers to each other.

But at this time, the two are still superiors and subordinates after all, so Du Yinxi took the lead and said: "He Dufu, you have worked hard all the way, so I don't know what's going on when I go north to Linxiang?"

He Tengjiao said with a smile: "I am very relieved to hear that Governor Du has achieved great victories in Changde, Changsha and other places, and has won successive victories."

"It's just that Boluo, the general of the puppet Qing Dynasty conquered Nanchang, led more than [-] Manchu elites to besiege Nanchang. Although Yu Guogong and Jianwuhou fought hard, the situation was very urgent. Now Nanchang is at stake. As a friendly army, we must not sit idly by. If Nanchang falls, the Qing army will inevitably turn to Hunan."

"The Governor and the Qu Ge Department had three considerations and decided to transfer the Zhongzhenying to the east to aid Jiangxi in order to relieve the siege of Nanchang. I also hope that Governor Du must put the overall situation first and persuade Li Guo to send troops to the east."

Although Du Yinxi had guessed that He Tengjiao wanted to steal credit, he never expected that He Tengjiao would play this trick and directly transfer the Zhongzheng Camp away in the name of supporting Nanchang.He Tengjiao is also a well-read poetry and book official of the frontier, and he doesn't hide it at all, openly stealing the credit of others, how can there be such a brazen person in the world?
This is shameless fucking opening the door to shameless - shameless is at home!

No matter how good Du Yinxi's self-cultivation is, at this moment he can't help but greet He Tengjiao's relatives in his heart.

Du Yinxi suppressed the anger in his heart, adjusted his breath and said: "Now Xu Yong is injured, the morale of the Qing army is low, and Changsha can be broken with a finger. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for our army to withdraw rashly at this time, which is tantamount to giving the Qing army a breather." Wouldn't it be safer for our army to break through Changsha and then go to relieve the siege of Nanchang?"

He Tengjiao snorted coldly in his heart, and said: "It is said that rescuing soldiers is like putting out a fire. The Duke of Yu asked for help repeatedly, and now Nanchang is in dire straits; if Changsha City is destroyed, it may be too late by then, please stop The governor must put the overall situation first!"

"The Qing army in Changsha doesn't have many troops anymore. The army under the governor's command can also recover Changsha; of course, the governor will definitely tell the emperor the contribution made by the governor Dudu and the Zhongzhen Battalion to the recovery of Changsha. You solved the Nanchang war. Wei, when the time comes, it will be another great achievement, and the credit will naturally be indispensable to you."

He Tengjiao spoke so grandly, and with Qu Shixu backing him, Du Yinxi was alone and alone, so he definitely couldn't compete with them. In desperation, he agreed to help persuade Li Guodong to aid Nanchang.

When Li Guo, Gao Yigong and others heard that they were asked to go to relieve the siege of Nanchang, they exploded in anger and scolded He Laozi for being shameless!
Li Guo said angrily: "Governor Du, I will order people to attack Changsha, I won't believe it, why does he dare to fight me?"

Du Yinxi shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "Duke Xingguo, don't be angry. If we don't listen to the imperial court, we will be fooled by He Tengjiao. Even if we can capture Changsha, not only will we be useless, but we will be guilty." !"

Although Li Guo was a warrior, he followed Li Zicheng's side to fight in the north and south, and he knew something about the so-called "emperor's mind".Generals with heavy soldiers who disobeyed orders and did not obey orders would inevitably be feared by Yongli. If He Tengjiao fanned the flames again, they might become a thorn in the court's side, and even Du Yinxi would be punished by the court.

In this way, the only way for their loyalty camp is to rebel and stand on their own. I am afraid that the biggest beneficiary is Man Qing.

When several people were hesitating, they suddenly reported that Huang Sanpang, a wealthy businessman in Nanjing, begged to see him.

It's not that Du Yinxi never thought of asking Qian Mo for help. He knew that the Duke of Yue had a lot of energy in the court, and even Ma Jixiang, the celebrity next to Yongli, was also his ally.

But after all, the long distance cannot quench the near thirst, and now Qian Moyuan is in Nanjing, so he is beyond the reach of what happened in Changsha.

But since Huang Sanpang came to him, there might be some way to do it.

So he said enthusiastically: "Mr. Xingguo, this Mr. Huang is the envoy of the Duke of Yue. It is Mr. Huang's credit for the previous transportation of grain."

Qian Mo's military exploits are real. Daming's current situation is all due to the Duke of Yue's heavy damage to the main force of the Tartars. Li Guo is quite convinced of this.Hearing that Qian Mo had borrowed food thousands of miles away, I was even more moved!
After all, not all the big officials in the frontiers of Ming Dynasty were as useless as He Tengjiao. Qian Mo, Jin Shenghuan, and Li Chengdong also fought against the Tartars in real ways.

So he cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Huang sent food from thousands of miles away, this kindness Li Guo has written down, I don't know how I can teach you when I come here this time?"

Huang Sanpang said hastily: "This is all arranged by the Duke of Yue, and Huang, who runs errands, dare not take credit for it!"

Then he changed the subject and said: "I see that you all have sad faces, are you troubled by Teng Jiao's robbery?"

Li Guo said: "This old thief He is really deceiving people too much. He has the support of Qu Ge's department in the court. We have no choice but to ask the Duke of Yue to help him?"

Hearing Li Guo's words, Du Yinxi was also taken aback, thinking that this Duke Xingguo has a real temperament, how can he say such things clearly?
Huang Sanpang said with a smile: "Naturally, His Majesty Yongli has the final say on matters concerning the court. How dare the Duke of Yue do it for him?"

"It's just that this army needs a lot of food and grass to go out. How can we go out without food and grass?"

Du Yinxi is so shrewd, naturally he can see through everything.

Soon He Tengjiao received a reply from Du Yinxi that the Zhongzhen Camp was willing to relieve the siege of Nanchang, but they lacked food and grass and could not go on an expedition. He also asked He Dufu to allocate 20 stones of food and grass.Otherwise, they can only wait until after the autumn harvest, when there is food and grass, and then leave.

Of course He Tengjiao knew that this was Du Yinxi's plan to delay the troops, and he wanted to use the food and grass as an excuse to delay the dispatch of troops.If you really have to wait until after the autumn harvest, Changsha will probably be breached. Wouldn't you be beaten by chickens?

Anyway, this amount of food and grass can be reimbursed to the imperial court in the end, but fortunately, I will advance a batch of food and grass first.After all, the emperor was not short of hungry soldiers, so Du Yinxi's request was reasonable.

After a bit of arguing, He Tengjiao paid Li Guo 15 shi for food and grass.

Originally, he was worried that Li Guo would trip him up, but he didn't expect that Zhongzhen Camp would hand over Xiangxiang, Xiangtan, Ningxiang, Xiangyin and other counties around Changsha to He Tengjiao.

So He Tengjiao withdrew all the people around Baoqing, and soon took over these sites, forming a siege to Changsha.

Unexpectedly, after He Tengjiao withdrew his troops from Baoqing, Hao Yongzhong's troops became so brave that they directly broke through the city and captured Baoqing Mansion in just one day.

He Tengjiao was so angry that he cursed: "Hao Yongzhong, that bastard, obviously didn't work hard before, and he took down Baoqing Mansion as soon as I withdrew. He wanted to monopolize this territory."

However, when he thought that he had snatched the great achievement of regaining Changsha from Du Yinxi and Li Guo, his anger became a lot smoother.

So Zhang Xianbi, Cao Zhijian, and Hu Yiqing were urgently ordered to lead the main force to besiege Changsha Mansion.

Although there were frequent good news on the Hunan battlefield, Emperor Yongli was indeed having a headache now.

He picked up Chen Youlong's petition memorial and said: "All of you, the cabinet, talk about how to deal with the matter of Hao Yongzhong and Chen Youlong? It has happened for almost 2 months, and the court can't still have no attitude. "

This matter itself is very clear, Hao Yongzhong was jealous of Chen Youlong's meritorious service, took the opportunity to sneak attack, and annexed Chen Youlong's troops and territory.But the difficulty is that now Hao Yongzhong has tens of thousands of soldiers, and he has made new achievements.

It was difficult for the Yongli court to punish him, so he had to acquiesce to this established fact.

In this way, Chen Youlong can only be sacrificed, and how to appease him has become a big problem. The heroes must not be chilled, so how will the people of the world treat Emperor Yongli?

The chief assistant of the cabinet, Yan Qiheng, had been complaining about his illness and refused to go to court. The second assistant, Qu Shixu, said: "This incident is all because Hao Yongzhong is jealous of Chen Youlong. The court will naturally punish him. But the reason is that he has already done his crimes and made great achievements. The victory of capturing the Baoqing Mansion. I think it’s an imperial decree of reprimand, and then not rewarding his meritorious deeds and not punishing his crimes.

"For His Majesty Chen Youlong, you can issue an order to comfort him, appoint him a minister of the military department, and allow him to recruit soldiers and horses in Liuzhou. In addition, let Hao Yongzhong send him 2 taels of silver and 5 shi of grain as compensation."

It has to be said that it was quite appropriate for Qu Shixu to deal with it this way. The court not only reprimanded Hao Yongzhong, but also appeased Chen Youlong.Although there was a bit of a biased taste, for Hao Yongzhong he lifted it high and lowered it gently, which made Chen Youlong suffer.

But in the face of Hao Yongzhong who holds a heavy army, Yongli is also very helpless.The fact that the matter can be handled like this can be regarded as an explanation to all parties, and Yongli looked at Qu Shixu with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.Since Yan Qiheng is in poor health, it seems that Qu Shixu is indeed the best candidate for the chief assistant.

Ma Jixiang saw Yongli's admiration for Qu Shixu. Originally, he was still hesitating whether to tell the inside story about He Tengjiao and Hao Yongzhong, because this would completely offend Qu Shixu.Now it seems that it is impossible not to talk about it, otherwise the position of chief assistant may fall on Qu Shixu's head.

I saw Ma Jixiang cleared his throat and said: "Regarding this matter, Commander Jin Yiwei made Ma Jixiang have inside information to report to His Majesty."

Originally, Yongli was going to order to do what Qu Shixu said, but Ma Jixiang made such a horizontal move, which made him somewhat unhappy, thinking why this guy is so blind today.But after all, there are other cabinet ministers around, so he might get angry and said: "Ma Aiqing, just tell me what's inside."

Ma Jixiang said: "According to Jin Yiwei's investigation, Hao Yongzhonghuo and Chen Youlong's behind-the-scenes mastermind is He Tengjiao!"

So Ma Jixiang took out a letter and said: "This is a letter written by He Tengjiao to Hao Yongzhong. Jin Yiwei got it from Hao Yongzhong."

When Ma Jixiang said this, several people present were shocked.

Qu Shixu's expression became solemn, although he wanted to defend He Tengjiao, but now the letter had fallen into the hands of Ma Jixiang, and he could not deny He Tengjiao's handwriting.

Ma Jixiang went on to say: "Furthermore, according to Jin Yiwei's verification, Hao Yongzhong's 'Siwangshan Victory' was seriously exaggerated. He only wiped out 1000 Qing troops, but he exaggerated it to 5000. He Tengjiao's 'Yongzhou Victory' was also exaggerated to wipe out 5000. The false report was completed, and more than ten thousand enemies were wiped out."

"The Qing army did not have so many troops in Yongzhou and Baoqing at that time."

At this time, Yongli was a little displeased. He Tengjiao actually took the initiative to provoke internal fighting, and then falsely reported his achievements, which is really too much.So he asked Qu Shixu: "Old Qu Ge, didn't the Ministry of War verify the number of beheadings reported by He Tengjiao?"

Qu Shixu said with some embarrassment: "These front-line generals exaggerated the number of beheads, which is also normal. The Ministry of War is not good at verification. Please punish your Majesty."

Qu Shixu’s words are actually a little unreasonable. Qian Mo and Jin Shenghuan are not paid by the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War is only symbolically verifying their battle reports; Still need to check carefully.

But he is his favorite minister after all, so it's not good to blame him too much. At this time Yongli said: "The Ministry of War must carefully verify and boast about military achievements. This trend must not be raised!"

Ma Jixiang continued: "He Tengjiao not only boasted about his military exploits, but also falsely passed on the military order of the Ministry of War, ordering the Zhongzhen Camp to abandon the siege of Changsha, instead march eastward to Nanchang, and then lead his troops northward to surround Changsha."

Qu Shixu said: "He Tengjiao reported this to me. Now Nanchang is at stake. Our army has enough troops in Hunan. It is the decision of the Ministry of War to send the Zhongzhen Battalion to aid Nanchang, not his false military order."

Of course Ma Jixiang knew that Qu Shixu and He Tengjiao were wearing a pair of trousers, so he would definitely cover this up for him.He had been waiting here a long time ago, and said: "The Duke of Yu has already reported the battle situation in Nanchang to the Ministry of War. The Qing army suffered heavy losses in Nanchang. It has already lost 4 people, including more than 1 people in the Eight Banners. The city of Nanchang is clearly It’s as solid as gold, so how can you say it’s at stake?”

"The Ministry of War adjusts the direction of attack. The cabinet and His Majesty don't know anything about such a big matter?"

The people present are all human beings, how can He Tengjiao's careful thought of grabbing credit be hidden from them?

Qu Shiqi was already sweating profusely at this moment, and he was beaten up by He Tengjiao this time!Sophistry said: "Our army has been advancing all the way in Hunan, not to mention that the plan to capture Changsha has not changed. Regarding the deployment of troops to support Nanchang, our Ministry of War can make the decision."

At this time, Yongli was very dissatisfied with Qu Shixu, and the emperor hated the collusion of the ministers behind his back, let alone the second assistant of the cabinet and a big official in Xinjiang.

Seeing that Yongli became suspicious of Qu Shixu, Ma Jixiang secretly rejoiced, thinking that Qian Mo's intelligence department is really powerful, and all the information that comes is first-hand, which is much better than his Jinyiwei.

Ma Jixiang said: "It's okay for He Tengjiao to use his troops indiscriminately for his own selfish desires and want to seize the credit for regaining Changsha. He has never known how to fight. Qu Ge's department is old in military affairs, how could he be fooled by him?"

Hearing that Ma Jixiang directly pointed the finger at him, Qu Shixu looked extremely angry, and said loudly, "Marquis Yong'an, what do you mean by that?"

Ma Jixiang glanced at Qu Shixu, snorted coldly, and said, "It seems that the Qu Ge Department still doesn't know anything about the latest battle report on the front line in Changsha!"
