I'm really not doing business

Chapter 392 The destiny that I, Zhu Yili, should have is to have fun!

Zhang Juzheng likes to say in his memorials that he was born in a commoner family. This is not because Zhang Juzheng likes to show off, to show off how awesome he is and how he can climb from being a commoner to the position of Tutor Yuanfu. Of course, this is indeed a heifer riding a rocket, cowhide In the sky, Zhang Juzheng did not show off, but told the emperor that he had no followers, no background, no clan, and no threat.

After all, Zhang Juzheng's family was a guard of the Liao Prince's Palace, a hereditary Qianhu family, while Xiong Tingbi was born as a cowherd boy.

Zhang Juzheng dominated the court with his passion and ambition. When he left, there would be endless grievances and disputes. These grievances and disputes would lead the Ming Dynasty to where they will go. Things are unpredictable and no one knows, not even Zhu Yijun himself. I am not omnipotent. He needs help and people to forge ahead.

Comrades, peers, and joy.

Zhu Yijun's desire to popularize basic education was an unrealistic fantasy after seeing Xiong Tingbi. Zhang Juzheng felt that it was more realistic to open up the sea.

This is Zhang Juzheng's idea to expand the navy, let the Zheshe households go out to plunder profits, and use the plundered wealth to realize the revival of the Ming Dynasty. As for what His Majesty expects, it is also what Zhang Juzheng expects, but this is really too difficult. , rarely, Zhang Juzheng once again used the great trick of changing the topic.

In the past, Zhang Juzheng would use the "Emperor's Illustrations" to explain away the emperor's doubts during the banquet. Now, Zhang Juzheng changed the subject by using the opening of the sea and the expansion of the navy.

There are tens of thousands of Ande Guangsha, sheltering the world with joy.

Set up the heart for the heaven and the earth, set the destiny for the livelihood and the people, for the sacred and inherited knowledge, and for the peace of the world.

Did Zhang Juzheng not have this kind of ambition when he was young? Even now, he still has this ambition. As time goes by, Zhang Juzheng, who has become the chief minister of the empire, has not reduced his belief in his ambitions. The older he lives, the more he values ​​the present.

This is also the experience that Zhang Juzheng repeatedly taught to the emperor. No one can have the vision to travel through the long river of time and see what the country and the country will look like in five years. Even if he is as powerful as Emperor Taizu Gao, he cannot decide what will happen after his death. Four years after his death, Lord Jianwen gave up his kingdom.

If you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach a thousand miles.

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change, which is another important point in the theory of contradiction. Only by doing more can we make the world a brighter place. Only in this way can we have no regrets about this hasty life when we die.

Regarding the expansion of the Navy, Zhang Juzheng and Zhu Yijun talked about a lot of plans, mainly focusing on military construction. The most important point is the establishment of a school affiliated with the Jiangwu School. For the elite soldiers fighting in all directions, at least let them of children can read.

Zhu Yijun called it: the Primary and Secondary Schools Affiliated to the Royal Army and Navy University of the Ming Dynasty.

With Zhang Juzheng's talents, he dare not promise to His Majesty that every child can study, but he can promise to fulfill part of it. No matter how much, it is really not something he can do. It requires the whole society. progress.

"This child Xiong Tingbi..." Zhang Juzheng was a little speechless. Looking at Xiong Tingbi, he always felt that he saw himself, the boy himself, the genius-like self.

"Sir, just try your best to educate." Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and smiled. You must be sweating profusely after seeing a genius even scarier than you Zhang Juzheng, sir!

After Xiong Tingbi passed the martial arts examination, he was ridiculed by others, and then in anger he passed the Jieyuan exam in the provincial examination. Everyone at that time said: There are three yuans in the world, but there are no two Jieyuans in the world.

There is no doubt about Xiong Tingbi's military talent. For example, when he was sent to He Shixian, the commander-in-chief of Liaoyang, Xiong Tingbi sent him a letter "Congratulations to the Commander-in-Chief" and advised He Shixian not to drink, to have a good relationship with his brother troops, and not to go out of the city casually. Fight against the old slave chief and don't trust the barbarians too much.

(It is not advisable to drink too much before the battle; all officers who come to support should be kind and comforting, and should not make evil sounds or looks. Although they are good at fighting and can defeat a few people, they can only succeed by relying on the help of the masses. We still hope to be careful and stay away from the enemy.) Put it aside and do not keep it for use in the army. I hope the general will listen to my words and not ignore them.)

And He Shixian drank before the battle. When he was too drunk, he led a thousand servants out of the city to fight and killed all the invading enemies. Then the old slave chief Nurhaci lured the enemy deep. He Shixian advanced lightly with force and was surrounded by the old slave chief's elite. No one could rescue him. , He Shixian was brave and fled back to the west gate of Shenyang. However, at this time, the surrendered barbarians in the city rebelled, He Shixian died in battle, and Shenyang fell.

He Shixian is not an incompetent person. He beat the old slave chief Nurhaci twice and treated the old slave chief as a military merit. After Xiong Tingbi left, he completely forgot Xiong Tingbi's instructions and went through the minefields warned by Xiong Tingbi. In the end, Defeat.

Under the idea of ​​the Liao people to defend the Liao territory, it even became politically correct to reuse the surrender to the barbarians. Xiong Tingbi violated the taboo by opposing the reuse of the surrender to the barbarians.

Jiang Yi is indeed easy to use, but the general's attitude towards Jiang Yi is: trust it like your heart and rely on it like your brothers and feet.

Xiong Tingbi was very opposed to this. Xiong Tingbi's reasons were very good. The Ming Dynasty was defeated in the Battle of Sarhu. The barbarians who originally wanted to be the loyal dogs of the Ming Dynasty had changed their minds. People's thoughts were disturbing the country, and trusting the barbarians might lead to disaster. , the people of Liao were subjected to the law of Liao, which seemed to repair the province but actually harmed the country.

The Donglin Party members in the imperial court did not understand the situation and were very dissatisfied with Xiong Tingbi's attitude! Who are you talking about harming the country?

Xiong Tingbi wrote to refute many times. Even though he was dismissed from the Liaodong Economic Strategy, he still wrote a nearly 10,000-word "Declaration of Order" before leaving, analyzing the situation in Liaodong comprehensively and thoroughly.

But this memorial was like a stone sinking into the sea, and no one cared about it.

After Xiong Tingbi's death, Sun Chengzong, Yuan Keli, Yuan Chonghuan and others followed the strategic direction arranged by Xiong Tingbi's tripartite and stabilized the situation in Liaodong.

"Xiong Da, come here." The discussion between Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng did not avoid Xiong Tingbi. Xiong Tingbi stood by and looked very surprised. There were rumors that His Majesty and Mr. Xiong had many disagreements, but when Xiong Tingbi met today, it was not like this at all. Between the monarch and his ministers, There is no gap between them. They are both master and disciple, good friends and comrades.

It’s a blessing to have the same ambition and forge ahead.

"Your Majesty." Xiong Tingbi came to the emperor and was very respectful.

"That bastard Jie'er thinks very highly of you, and thinks you are a malleable talent. The beauties from all over the world that I promised you have been sent to you. You must remember not to be greedy for pleasure. Under the teacher's tutelage, you can practice literature and martial arts to serve the country. Zhu Yijun said with a smile on his face.

Before the battle with Gao Qiao Tonghu, Zhu Yijun promised two beauties from all over the world to Xiong Tingbi. Naturally, he would not break his promise, so he really sent them. Moreover, they were not the original beauties from Prince Lu's Mansion, but the six beauties from Prince Lu's Mansion that Zhu Yijun rewarded. Two, two Persian beauties, brand new and unopened.

Xiong Tingbi looked at the emperor blankly, and after being stunned for a long time, he frowned and said slowly: "I... am still young. Please ask your majesty to send the beauty back. It will not be too late to talk about this matter on the day when I become Wen Chengwu."

He had two concubines before he got married, which made Xiong Tingbi a little confused. His Majesty had already rewarded a hundred hereditary households. In Xiong Tingbi's view, it was enough. The most important thing for him now was to study hard.

It is a gift from you that cannot be rejected, but at his age, he is not yet old enough to play with beauties from all over the world.

"That's fine. Send it to Prince Lu's Mansion first. I'll give it to you later when you become a man." Zhu Yijun stood up. He was ready to leave after eating and drinking. He patted Xiong Tingbi on the shoulder and said : "Xiong Da, don't put too much pressure on yourself, study step by step, don't worry too much."

Zhang Juzheng and Xiong Tingbi put the emperor on the carriage, then bowed their heads very respectfully and shouted: "I send you off to your majesty."

After the car turned a corner, Zhang Juzheng and Xiong Tingbi returned to the Quanchu Guild Hall. Xiong Tingbi followed Zhang Juzheng step by step. Halfway there, Xiong Tingbi finally couldn't help but said: "Sir, I am confused."

Zhang Juzheng's feet stumbled. When he heard the word "confused", those painful memories began to attack him.

"What doubts are there?" Zhang Juzheng looked at Xiong Tingbi and stood firm, who! Not even a genius!

He had survived all of His Majesty's questions. He could still answer Xiong Tingbi's doubts at a young age, but there were many things for which Xiong Tingbi had to find the answers himself.

Xiong Tingbi hesitated for a moment and asked: "There are 80,000 soldiers and horses in Liaodong, and less than half of the officers and soldiers in the large camp are capable of fighting. The east and west support forces are weak and difficult to support. The troops are not replenished and grain is not provided. There are only 3,000 elite soldiers in Liaodong." Human ears, the Marquis of Ningyuan is the Marquis of Wuxun, why are you turning a deaf ear?"

Xiong Tingbi couldn't understand Li Chengliang's actions in Liaodong. Although Li Chengliang was not as good at training troops as Qi Jiguang, but as one of the few generals who could go out and win in battle, why didn't Li Chengliang change the status quo? Liaodong's military preparedness was poor, and the only ones who could best fight were Li Chengliang's three thousand guest soldiers and servants.

"What do you think?" Zhang Juzheng did not answer, but asked Xiong Tingbi what he thought. These are the contents reported by the governor of Liaodong, the generals, and the various officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs. The imperial court was fully aware of the corruption in Liaodong.

Xiong Tingbi thought for a moment and then said: "Everyone says that Li Chengliang served as Anlu Mountain in the Ming Dynasty. He supported the invaders to respect themselves and guarded against the enemy. The military equipment in Liaodong is so rotten that he is suspected of supporting the invaders."

"It's not a suspicion, Li Chengliang is just trying to support the bandits." Zhang Juzheng stood under the big hackberry tree. It was late autumn and early winter. Under this big tree, there were all fallen leaves. This tree was planted after he returned to Beijing in the 32nd year of Jiajing. , and later the Quanchu Guild Hall was established, so it was transplanted.

Xiong Tingbi's brows knitted into knots upon hearing this. He stayed for a moment and then slowly said, "Huh?"

"This is his way of survival. Three thousand guest soldiers, no more and no less. If there are too many, the court will be jealous, and if there are too few, he will not be able to defend against the enemy. This is the last resort in life." Zhang Juzheng was indeed educating carefully. The only problem with Xiong Tingbi, a versatile man in both civil and military affairs, is that he is a bit like Hai Rui, who hates evil and hates evil. This is an advantage and a virtue, but in the court, it is a fatal flaw.

There can be no more or less capable soldiers in Liaodong who can go out to fight.

Zhang Juzheng explained the secret in detail. When looking at things, don't look at the surface. You must start from the phenomenon, find the problem, and then find the cause of the problem from the prevailing status quo. Then, among multiple solutions, choosing one is not the best. But the most appropriate way.

Just yelling and cursing is not cultivating at all, it is just venting emotions.

This is the way of thinking that Zhang Juzheng taught Xiong Tingbi.

This is not how cheap Confucianism thinks. The humble Confucianism is more inclined to think like Westerners. I think, therefore I am, I think, therefore I am right. If you don't listen to me, it's your fault. This is a heresy that everyone will punish.

"I kind of understand." Xiong Tingbi nodded with understanding and said, "I don't want to, but I really can't."

"Of course." Zhang Juzheng nodded with great satisfaction. Contradictions are so common. If you don't do anything wrong, if you do too much, it will be wrong.

In the early morning of the next day, it was still dark. In Prince Lu's palace, the maids began to be busy. A beautiful woman who knew that she was in need of food when she saw the child came to Zhu Yili's bed, leaned down and said softly: "Your Highness, Your Highness , it’s time to get up and go listen to the government, everyone in the palace is busy."

"Ah! The 25th is Xiu Mu. I didn't listen to the government today. I went to sleep! If you can't afford it, you can't afford it." Zhu Yiliu suddenly lifted up the quilt and covered his head.

The quilt in winter is extremely warm. Zhu Yili, who was under the seal, had made a plan yesterday. He was going to stay in bed and sleep in. He had already decided to take a bath on the 25th of every month. It was a big deal. Son, he has to stay in bed!

The palace of Prince Lu's palace was very warm, but the palace maid came in from the outside and was not wearing thin clothes. She looked at the angry little Prince Lu, and reluctantly took off the cloak and hung it on the hanger next to her. She only wore A layer of gauze clothes, lifted up the quilt, got in, hugged Prince Lu, and said in a shy and pitiful voice: "Your Highness, I should have taken a rest today, but Li Gong said that he still has to go to Wenhua Hall , just come and tell me early in the morning that His Highness has to go."

"If Li Gong is to blame, His Highness and His Majesty are brothers, so there is no problem, but we, the maids, will suffer and will be punished."

"Your Highness doesn't want to be a concubine either, so I will be punished by Your Majesty."

The cold body jolted Zhu Yili, and the wandering hands made Zhu Yili wake up completely. He sat up with great annoyance and prepared to get up. As soon as he sat up, he lay down again and got into the arms of the maid. I rolled it on the facial cleanser a few times, and then the anger was gone.

"Giggle, giggle, your Highness, please slow down, tickle, Your Highness." The beauty laughed while avoiding Zhu Yili's hand. It was only when the laughter became a little low and repressedly charming that she stopped the daily wake-up call. , If we continue to pester him, I'm afraid the gun will go off.

The old nun on the other side of the palace has to inspect the inside and outside of Prince Lu's palace every half month. If a beauty is found to be imperfect, His Majesty will take back all the beauties given to him. Zhu Yili followed the agreement and did not mess around before the wedding. It's so powerful that even if you can't eat meat, you can still drink some soup.

"There are still three years! Three years before I get married! So angry!" Zhu Yili started to get up. He was still a little resentful, but when he thought of Xiong Da, those resentments disappeared.

After Xiong Tingbi left Prince Lu's Mansion, he lived a life that was not human at all. He got up earlier than a chicken and went to bed later than a dog. He studied at home in the Quan Chu Guild Hall in the morning, lectured in the martial arts school in the afternoon and was beaten, and had to take exams on schoolwork in the evening. , I really heard the chicken and danced, covered with stars and the moon.

Xiong Da thinks this is his great opportunity, and he is really trying to grasp this great opportunity. Zhu Yili thinks that Xiong Da has shouldered a weight that he should not bear at such a young age.

When Zhu Yixuan sent Xiong Da away, it was really like beating gongs and drums. Having a great person like Xiong Da by his side would only delay his great cause of being king of Lu! This Xiong Tingbi led his sparring partners to sing the chicken and dance together in Prince Lu's Mansion, which made Zhu Yili want to show off and feel a little ashamed. As soon as Xiong Tingbi left, the sparring partners began to show off again, and Prince Lu's Mansion returned to its former peace.

What could be more comfortable than rolling on facial cleanser a few times in the morning? No, absolutely not!

Geniuses have their destiny, and he, Zhu Yixuan, is a born nobleman. Lying down, lying down, and enjoying himself is his destiny in this life!

Twelve palace maids shuttled in the palace, waiting for King Lu to get up. These palace maids were all plump, wearing a thin layer of gauze. They walked like willows swinging in the wind, with an enchanting look that is untouched. Youthful, with occasional bursts of laughter.

"Brother! I'm only twelve years old, twelve years old! Don't you feel ashamed that you asked a twelve-year-old to get up so early and accompany you to go to court?" Zhu Yili saw the emperor's brother, got in the car, and Start complaining loudly!

Zhu Yijun slapped Zhu Yiliu on the shoulder and said sternly: "I am so diligent and you are so lazy. As a brother, aren't you ashamed?!"

Zhu Yili weighed it up and realized that he really couldn't beat the emperor, so he said with a straight face: "Brother! You are the emperor, the emperor, the greatest born nobleman in the world. You can only take this day off for a month, just this day! What a big deal." My son, I can still delay your rest! It’s a blessing for the Ming Dynasty that the emperor is so diligent!”

"The mill donkey is still napping!"

Zhu Yijun laughed angrily at his bratty brother. He pressed Zhu Yijun's hammer and said, "The civil servants in Liaodong have impeached Li Chengliang, so today's court meeting will be postponed to tomorrow. You can just sleep in tomorrow."

"What's going on in Liaodong? You have to go to the Wenhua Palace. Hurry up, don't delay the state affairs." Zhu Yixi heard that someone in Liaodong was impeached, and then he realized why the emperor gave up his precious rest time and went to the imperial court to listen to politics.

There are several things that must be decided decisively in the Ming Dynasty. There are wars on the border such as the Xuanda, Liaodong, Nagasaki, Luzon, and Yunnan wars, and various sudden disasters, such as the earth dragon turning over, Ling Xun, the Yellow River bursting its banks, etc. , these all require timely decision-making, and there is no room for delay. One day's delay on the court's part is a big deal.

Zhu Yili is very smart, but he believes that enjoyment is his own destiny.

Zhu Yijun came to the Wenhua Hall and sat upright, announcing the courtiers waiting in the side hall to enter the Wenhua Hall. Zhu Yijun stood aside with a yawn, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

"I pay homage to Your Majesty. Your Majesty pays you your respects." The ministers bowed their heads and bowed. They were all court officials and there was no need to kneel down to perform the speech.

Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said: "How should you all deal with the matter of Zhou Yong, the governor of Liaodong, and the governor of Liaodong, Zhou Yong, the minister of the Ministry of War, impeaching Li Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, Marquis of Ningyuan?"

Zhang Juzheng took out the memorial with a solemn expression and said: "Li Chengliang built a mansion called the Flower Tower in Tieling Wei, with carved railings and jade inlays. The terraces and pavilions are the best in the south of the Yangtze River. Three thousand prostitutes and entertainers gathered there, who prostituted themselves day and night, and hunted for minerals. Taxation, collecting house numbers, weaving oxcarts, seizing large households, adjusting husbands and craftsmen, repairing memorial arches, counterfeiting military rations, appropriating military service, defrauding officials, using non-exorbitant punishments, and torturing property, exhausting the bamboos in Nanshan, unable to exhaust all the dirt; destroying the East China Sea Their filth cannot be completely washed away."

"This memorial is also jointly submitted by Yu Zhao, the censor of the Daning Guards, and Zhou Liangyin, the military counselor of the Quaning Guards."

The loyal prince Yu Zhao presented a memorial to prove that this incident was not groundless. Everyone looked at Zhang Xueyan, the former governor of Liaodong and now the Minister of Household Affairs.

Zhu Yirui blinked, OK, OK, this is how to play, right? Prince Lu’s Mansion also needs a flower building! And it’s the Ten Thousand Kingdoms and Hundreds of Flowers Tower!

"Li Shuai is indeed bohemian." Zhang Xueyan said slightly helplessly.

Zhang Xueyan knew very well about the Tieling Weihua Tower. Was it a prostitute who entertained three thousand people? I underestimated Li Chengliang. She was a Han prostitute, and there were many beauties from all over the world. Some prostitutes, brothel sisters, and domestic prostitutes who were not from lowly status also required at least 5,000 yuan to pay.

Tielingwei is almost like a devil's cave. No matter how strong a person is, he will lose more than ten kilograms in three months.

"The flower building is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with hot springs flowing through it. People from Liao Dynasty never forget to leave." Zhang Xueyan added a little more details. Li Chengliang's flower building was built next to the hot spring. In short, it is a place where people don't want to come back. The place.

As for other matters, such as chasing mining taxes, collecting house numbers, and numbering oxcarts, they are all commonplace problems that cannot cause harm. Previously, the court owed wages, so Liaodong Dusi had to find a solution on his own. Later, inertia formed, so It's not that easy to change. In recent years, the pursuit has become less vicious. The debt collection has gradually been transferred to the tax office, which makes it a lot easier.

There is only 30% of the tax collection space in the tax collection office. Li Chengliang's guest soldiers, when there is no war, more than a thousand people take turns helping the Liaodong tax collection office to collect taxes and collect arrears.

All the charges are real and not false accusations.

When Zhang Xueyan was in Liaodong, in the second year of Wanli, this flower house was actually closed. This year, for some unknown reason, Li Chengliang opened it again.

In fact, the problem is very obvious. There is a conflict between the commander-in-chief of Liaodong and the governor of Liaodong, both civil and military.

Qi Jiguang said in a rare voice: "There will be no war this winter. There is more than three feet of snow in Liaodong, which makes it impossible for people and horses to travel. The post road has been cut off for more than seven days. There are three thousand guest soldiers and servants under Li Shuai's account. They can both capture and cause chaos. If nothing happens, there will be incidents of treachery and robberies. Li Shuai returned to Hualou, probably to find some work for these three thousand people. If they don't stay in Hualou, they are afraid of causing trouble."

"Qi Shuai, there has never been such a ridiculous thing in Jingying!" Li Youzi, the censor of Youdu, did not agree with Qi Jiguang's statement.

Since the first year of Wanli, they have indeed gone to war every winter. This winter, they were recuperating and had no combat missions. However, the Beijing camp did not need prostitutes at all. Li Youzi did not agree with Qi Jiguang's reason for returning to protect Li Chengliang.

Ma Ziqiang thought for a moment and said: "The Beijing camp is on the side. The Beijing camp can do it, but the Liaodong guest soldiers can't?"

"The Beijing camp is OK, but Liaodong is not." Qi Jiguang answered this question with great certainty. He further explained: "There are 100,000 people in the Beijing camp, and each person is worth eighteen silvers per year. If there is a reward for military merit, each person will not be less than thirty silvers per year. If there is no war in Liaodong, the guest soldiers can only get ten silver coins a year, and if there is a war, they can only get eighteen silver coins."

"It's not fair to compare the military discipline of the Beijing camp to the Liaodong guest soldiers."

Hai Rui sat up straight and said with furrowed brows: "Shuai Qi is wrong. Marshal Qi is in command in Jizhou. He has 100,000 soldiers in twelve cities. The southern army has full pay and the northern army has half pay. There is no trouble for 100,000 soldiers." When such a ridiculous thing happened, at that time, people inside and outside the court, as well as the southern and northern armies, regarded Commander Qi as a wart, a superfluous and useless thing, and they wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible. If there is such a ridiculous thing, impeachment is inevitable."

After Hai Rui's words, the courtiers discussed it. The military pay given by the Beijing camp was sufficient and the military discipline was good. It was reasonable. At that time, the Jizhou guards could not even get full pay, only half pay, and they did not cause such trouble. trouble.

"Hai Zongxian, there are differences between Liaodong and Jimen. We cannot generalize. Specific things should be treated in detail." Qi Jiguang is not good at debating. As soon as Qi Jiguang learned about Li Chengliang's Hualou, he knew that something bad was going to happen, so he was not prepared. He was trying to get someone involved for a few reasons, but this Hai Rui actually turned over an old score!

Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang are completely different. Qi Jiguang is very good at training troops. Executing orders and prohibitions is his only way to win consecutive battles. Li Chengliang is indeed not as good as Qi Jiguang in training troops.

"So, whose problem is whose problem it is." Hai Rui was not aggressive. After refuting Qi Jiguang's statement, he sat up straight and continued the discussion.

Tan Lun immediately said: "What should we do? Let these three thousand guest soldiers go out and do evil? The military discipline of the guest soldiers has always been a headache. It's not just a day or two. They are standing and talking without back pain. It's a cold place in Liaodong. , after fighting for several years, the soldiers in Liaodong can’t enjoy themselves anymore?”

"The soldiers of the Beijing camp are selected from the best from all over the Ming Dynasty. Everyone knows who Li Chengliang's guest soldiers are. They are all desperadoes."

"This Zhou Yong is a bit of a troublemaker."

Tan Lun felt that Zhou Yong's impeachment memorial was somewhat trouble-making, but there was an obvious conflict between the governor of Liaodong and the commander-in-chief, which might not be conducive to the situation in Liaodong.

The military discipline of the guest soldiers is good. The Ming Dynasty has already recruited troops from all over the country. Li Chengliang's military resources are incomparable to those of the Beijing camp. The Beijing camp can select loyal and brave men from the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty. Li Chengliang's guest soldiers and retainers are all deserters. disciples.

The military expenditure of the Ming Dynasty was 10 million silver per year, and 8 million of it was spent on the soldiers of the guards. Guest soldiers were a double-edged sword. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty abolished the military system of the government, which led to the historical lessons of the expansion of the vassal town. The only way to recruit soldiers is to recruit soldiers. Parallel with the military garrison.

Zhang Xueyan said helplessly: "Zhou Yong is not making trouble for nothing. In fact, this old Li is not giving any face to Governor Zhou."

Li Chengliang took Zhang Xueyan with him whenever he went out to fight. Li Chengliang charged in the front, and Zhang Xueyan was behind to stabilize the rear and provide supplies. The two were comrades who fought against the enemy, and Li Chengliang had to give Zhang Xueyan a share of his military merits.

Zhou Yong, the governor of Liaodong, went to Liaodong in the fifth year of Wanli. It was really a concubine entering the house, not anywhere.

Zhang Xueyan originally asked Li Chengliang to close the flower house, saying that it would easily cause criticism, so Li Chengliang closed the flower house. The main reason was that the imperial court provided full salary. Li Chengliang did not need to use this method to win over people's hearts. Zhou Yong persuaded Li Chengliang to take charge of it. The reason for controlling Tielingwei's magical cave was also because he was afraid of causing criticism, so Li Chengliang directly reopened the flower building!

The main theme is a rebellious one.

Zhang Xueyan persuaded Li Chengliang not to put himself in danger. Li Chengliang felt that his elder brother was concerned about his safety. Zhou Yong went to persuade him. Li Chengliang felt that Zhou Yong's control was too lenient this time. When it came to war, he was so ignorant!

Li Chengliang has won consecutive battles and has great military achievements. His son Li Rusong is the general of the first elite battalion in Beijing. In any tough battle, Li Rusong is the king's vanguard, fighting tough battles and charging ahead.

Zhou Yong did not seek Zhang Xueyan's status, but what he said was of no use. Instead, he got worse and sued the capital.

Wan Shihe was keenly aware of some problems and asked curiously: "Did Zhang Shangshu also go to Hualou when he was in Liaodong?"

"Ah, I have indeed been there." Zhang Xueyan showed some embarrassment, but then felt that it was not a shameful thing. If you have a good relationship with a fool like Li Chengliang, you must go to this flower house. If you don't go, you won't give him face. If Li Chengliang is a fool, he will definitely not get the good results from Zhang Xueyan.

"That's no wonder Zhang Shangshu and Ning Yuanhou have such a harmonious relationship." Wan Shihe looked in the direction of Zhongshu Sheren with a smile. Today, Zhongshu Sheren fell into the latrine and went to the toilet for so long and didn't come back.

Let’s go to the Flower House together. What we will play is definitely not playing chess, calligraphy and painting. Maybe there will be something else like two dragons...

Zhou Yong is a traditional Confucian scholar, who is not in the same pot as Li Chengliang. Zhang Xueyan is a Xunli. He only wants the situation in Liaodong to be stable. He doesn't care much about reputation. He can go to Hualou.

"Dazai, stop teasing me." Zhang Xueyan waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that he would surrender and stop teasing himself.

"Zhou Yong is from the Jin Party. I will write him a letter later to persuade him." What can Wang Chonggu do? We can only persuade peace, but is it possible to persuade the governor and the general to fight against each other? Isn't that a joke to the Jurchens?

Li Chengliang was a Zhang Party member in a broad sense, and he protected Zhang Juzhengmen. However, Li Chengliang had never obtained the badge of the Quanchu Guild Hall, so he could not be considered a Zhang Party member, but only a Zhang Party member in a broad sense.

"Your Majesty, let Marquis Ningyuan shut down the flower building and transfer Hou Yuzhao there." Zhang Juzheng thought for a moment and decided to make an affair with Li Chengliang. It was obviously inappropriate to confront the governor like this. This flower building It is necessary to pass the pass, and transfer Hou Yu Zhao from Daning Guard to Liaodong to help Zhou Yong. The loyal monarch Yu Zhao is his Majesty's man, so Li Chengliang would not dare to be so messy.

"Open it and let Hou Yuzhao pass." Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and made his own decision. He thought for a while and said: "Qi Shuai and Da Sima are right. These three thousand guest soldiers and servants are covered in ice and snow." What do you want them to do? If they don’t do anything, something will happen and it will be harder to deal with.”

"The last time Marquis Ningyuan came to the capital, he was extremely respectful. If you think about it, Li Shuai is also walking on thin ice. If you are not careful, you will lose everything. If there is no way, I am afraid he will not directly conflict with the governor."

"The flower building is not the core of the problem. The core problem is to prevent the gap between the governor and the commander-in-chief, lest it be taken advantage of by traitors."

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Juzheng thought for a moment and bowed his head before saying.

The quarrel between the governor of Liaodong and the commander-in-chief did not happen overnight. Either Zhou Yong compromised or Li Chengliang compromised. Taking advantage of the heavy snow and winter, the fight had to come to an end.

"The governor-general of Luzon, whose surname is Zhengmao, sent me a memorial to thank His Majesty for the marriage." Zhang Juzheng said something else with a very strange look on his face.

The seventeen-year-old Ming Emperor married his sixteen-year-old princess to Luzon. From now on, Yin Zhengmao was a true relative of the emperor, which in turn triggered a more thought-provoking question.

Why did the Ming royal family so deliberately turn Yin Zhengmao into one of their own? He even married an unrelated imperial princess. Isn't Yin Zhengmao really a member of the Ming Dynasty's exiled clan?

At first, everyone just regarded it as random speculation, but now, even the court officials are taking a closer look.

The more I look at them, the more they look like each other.

Of course, this issue cannot be discussed in court.

　There is no need to doubt Xiong Tingbi's military talent. History has tested it. Sun Chengzong, Yuan Keli, and Yuan Chonghuan were all following Xiong Tingbi's strategy, and they were a bit imitated. Guangning is an extremely critical place. If Guangning is lost, the three parties will arrange this method. In fact, it couldn't be used. Before Xiong Tingbi died, he had a bag hanging on his chest. Inside was Xiong Tingbi's plan after losing Guangning. "Ci Shu" did not appear in the temple in the end, no matter what, no what. Alas, a sigh. Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! !
