Chapter 195 Analyzing the Situation
Chapter 195 Analyzing the situation
Mos's den in Hanhai Grassland, looking at Tie Mo's frowning face, Aqige felt a little confused. Even Wang Zuoguai didn't understand why Tie Mo was like this.
Aqige flipped his beautiful eyes, reached out to pinch the letter, glanced at it, but he didn't see any reason. Tie Mo became frowning after reading this letter, but after looking at it, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the letter.
Wang Zuo hung half of his butt off the ground and bowed to Aqige, "Princess, can you see it?"
Aqige didn't think much about it and threw the letter to Wang Zuogu. After taking the letter, he looked carefully. Wang Zuogu's face remained unchanged, but his heart was filled with storms. What the letter was about His Majesty's affairs. Although he was talking about Yuan Chonghuan, the person who wrote the letter knew His Majesty's affairs well. Who was the other party?
I felt aroused in my heart and looked at Tie Mo in my contemplation from the corner of my eyes. It was really unimaginable that the general was far away from Zhangbei, and his ears and eyes were actually connected to the palace.
After a while, Wang Zuoga returned the letter to Aqige and said with a frown: "General, are you worried about the affairs of General Yuan?"
"Yes, with Mr. Wang's wisdom, what should be seen?"
Wang Zuogao nodded softly, "I saw something. Supervisor Yuan seemed to be stating Mao Wenlong's crimes. However, after several official documents were sent to His Majesty one after another, they were mostly testing His Majesty's attitude. If what was said in the letter was true, then Mao Wenlong would probably be in trouble. His Majesty had nothing to say, and Supervisor Yuan was not scruples, so he would naturally be more bold in his work."
After pondering for a while, Wang Zuogua continued, "But, my subordinates don't think there is anything to worry about. What can I do if General Yuan eliminates Mao Wenlong? I have heard of Mao Wenlong. This man Chen Bingpi Island, his troops and horses are mixed with fish and dragons, and he often plunders Liaodong. Although he is an officer and a soldier, he is more like a bandit."
Tie Mo sighed with a wry smile. Wang Zuoguai's opinion is probably the idea of most people. In this era, many people are probably the same as Wang Zuoguai and think that Mao Wenlong is not that important.
"Mr. Wang, have you ever thought that if Mao Wenlong is not important, why did Lord Yuan Keli and Supervisor Sun tolerate Mao Wenlong more? Just say Supervisor Sun, do you think Supervisor Sun is not as good as Yuan Chonghuan? What problems can Yuan Chonghuan see can't be seen by Supervisor Sun?"
Wang Zuoguai was stunned. In his impression, there were really not many people who were admired by the Ming Dynasty, but Sun Chengzong was definitely the first one. Sun Chengzong took office in Liaodong several times, and each time he managed Liaodong as stable as a rock. Without the good foundation laid by Sun Chengzong, his successors would not have a good life.
In addition to the Liaodong affairs, Sun Chengzong did a lot of good things to the Ming Dynasty. The most important thing is that he was concerned about the victims and worked tirelessly. When Emperor Chongzhen raised money and grain for disaster relief, the old man donated all his salary and moved some money from his hometown. That time, the old man donated a total of nearly 20,000 taels.
Twenty thousand silver may not be a big deal for other officials, but for Mr. Sun, it is quite a lot. As far as Wang Zuoguai knows, although Sun Chengzong is famous in his hometown, he did not buy too many industries. The Sun family's family style is very strict, and few children in the family can plunder money.
It is precisely because of his understanding of Sun Chengzong that Wang Zuoguai was somewhat confused at this time.
Yes, why has Commander Sun never mentioned Mao Wenlong?
Gradually, Wang Zuoguai realized that he had ignored something, "General, it seems that Wang has too little knowledge. If Supervisor Sun does not hold Mao Wenlong accountable, it can only mean that Mao Wenlong is very important and irreplaceable. Although Wang doesn't know why Mao Wenlong is important, Wang still admires Supervisor Sun very much."
Tie Mo nodded, drank a sip of milk wine, and said with a grim brow: "Yes, Supervisor Sun does not hold Mao Wenlong accountable, then Mao Wenlong must be very important. Unfortunately, Yuan Chonghuan ignored it at all. Supervisor Sun advised Yuan Chonghuan more than once, but now it seems that the effect is very small."
"Well? General, how did you know that Supervisor Sun advised Yuan Chonghuan?" As soon as he asked, Wang Zuogao regretted it. Such an important and private matter is a taboo.
Tiemo smiled, and did not answer, but continued to talk about the previous topic.
"Although Mao Wenlong is too selfish and has many shortcomings, his role is also very obvious. Mao Wenlong acts, seeks profit and avoids harm, just like a bandit, he takes advantage of it, and is brave in war. As long as Mao Wenlong and his Pidao base are there, the Jurchens dare not stay away from their nests on a large scale. In recent years, Huang Taiji conquered various Mongolian tribes several times, and each time he kept enough troops in Haidong."
"Why? You're not afraid of being too far away. Mao Wenlong, a bandit, brought his troops along the waterway to the Jin old nest to rob him!"
"The foundation of the Later Jin Dynasty is too thin. Mao Wenlong doesn't rob it. The Jurchens face the dilemma of insufficient rice and food every year. If they are robbed by Mao Wenlong on a large scale, how can they live? At that time, if no one needs to beat them, the Jurchens will fall apart by themselves. Can Huang Taiji, the Khan, still do it?"
"The situation inside Huang Taiji and even the Jurchens, so even when facing Lin Danhan's counterattack before, he would not dare to mobilize Haidong's troops to help."
"In a certain way, Huang Taiji is not afraid of Guanning Iron Cavalry, but he is afraid of Mao Wenlong. No matter how powerful the Guanning Iron Cavalry is, it is predictable, but Mao Wenlong's troops are unpredictable. You can't figure out when he will pounce on him and bite him hard, which will kill you. So, I can only be careful."
"There are not many people in the court who think that Mao Wenlong is not good. They shave so much money and grain from the court every year, but they just make small fuss with the Jurchens and even do business with the Jurchens. But they didn't know that this was Mao Wenlong's style of conduct. They didn't understand Mao Wenlong, but Huang Taiji knew that Mao Wenlong was the one who took advantage of him. As long as Mao Wenlong was there, there was a muffled thunder hidden behind the Jurchens, and the Jurchen tribes would be bombed into the sky at any time."
"Supermaster Sun and Yuan Keli all know this, so they tolerated Mao Wenlong. But as for Yuan Chonghuan, he couldn't see. Perhaps, he could see Mao Wenlong's role, but he was too selfish and could not tolerate Mao Wenlong, and he wanted to get rid of it quickly. Or, he felt that if he got rid of Mao Wenlong, he could control the troops under Mao Wenlong's command, and the Pidao base could still play a role."
"What a pity... It's a pity... Yuan Chonghuan is not Mao Wenlong. Even if he controls that army, his style of conduct cannot be the same as Mao Wenlong. What's more, it's unknown whether he can control Mao Wenlong's army!"
