Chapter 310 Chongzhen's Face
"Master Sun, you are my teacher. Although I know you are old, you still have to clean up the mess in Liaodong. Only you can clean up. Therefore, you have to work hard. Thank you first."
Sun Chengzong stood up and bowed in emotion: "With the emperor's words, it's a pity to pieces."
At this time, Chongzhen faced Man Gui: "I have granted your Liaodong strategy, and it is a heavy burden. Not only should I win over the hearts of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, but it should also be used by the country. I can no longer let Jiannu fight to our capital. This is very shameless."
Man Gui promised with confidence: "Whenever there is a minister in Liaodong one day, he will guarantee that Jiannu will never see the majestic Yongding Gate again."
At this time, Zhao Xing rarely interrupted: "Master Sun, Lord Man, Zhu Lei defended his life, not only consumed huge money and food for the country, but also was too conservative. As the saying goes, the best defense is to take the initiative. Only by mastering the initiative can the enemy be exhausted from coping and unable to care about it, and vice versa."
Master Sun fell into deep thought about Zhao Xing's criticism of Sun Chengzong again when Zhao Xingxing reiterated his old story. Man Gui deeply agreed and Chongzhen praised him.
This is not because Chongzhen understands Zhao Xing's theory, but because Zhao Xing's method can save money. Chongzhen is now sensitive to money. In his mind, everything that can save money for himself is the truth and a loyal minister.
Zhao Xing looked at Man Gui who was eager to try. He was really afraid that this militant would act recklessly, so he reminded carefully: "Although Huang Taiji was seriously injured this time, don't think that he would not have the ability to continue attacking within three to five years. You must know that Jiannu is a soldier for the whole nation, and a child of thirteen or fourteen years old can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. According to my Jinyiwei's report, after Huang Taiji returned to Liaodong, he was ready to reorganize the Mongolian Eight Banners, then rectify the Han people in Liaodong, and form the Eight Banners of Han. In this way, his military strength will not decline but rise. Be careful."
When people in the room were shocked when they heard this news: "Is this news true?"
Zhao Xing said painfully: "This time Jiannu invasion did not get what they wanted, but he found out the truth about the Ming Dynasty's strong and powerful outside. They were eager to try the next invasion, so they began to consolidate their troops and prepare for the war that would end. Everyone had to guard against it."
Now, the atmosphere that had just returned to joy was broken again, and the atmosphere became heavier again.
"What should I do, what should I do?" Chongzhen couldn't sit still and began to pace anxiously in the middle of the ground.
Zhao Xing took advantage of the situation and proposed: "Long live the order to reopen Dongjiang Town, order Mao Youde to be the commander, and become a future trouble for the Later Jin Dynasty again and become a horn with western Liaoning. Next time Huang Taiji dared to enter the army again and let the Mao brothers dig out his nest."
Chongzhen stopped, then looked at Zhao Xing, nodded and said, "This is the law. But Yuan Ni was arbitrarily killing Mao Shuai, and the three brothers of the Mao family wrote letters to restore Mao Shuai's name many times. There was a lot of resentment in their words. I am afraid that once they were in charge of the army, something that would be unbearable would happen."
Yuan Chonghuan was cut off, and the third adopted son of the Mao family, who later became King Sanshun, wrote letters to Chongzhen many times, asking him to correct his adoptive father's name. For this reason, the three brothers also wrote a blood letter.
But firstly, Chongzhen couldn't let go of his pride, and secondly, the unfairness in the book made Chongzhen feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable, so he kept holding on.
In order to fulfill Mao Wenlong's instructions, Zhao Xing also wants to rebel against Shandong next year, and there will be no Sanshun King in the future, so he must reconcile in the center.
So he stood up and said, "After Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Shuai, the soldiers of Dongjiang Town in Pidao and other places had already distracted, so this time the soldiers of Pidao could not sit out. But as long as Dongjiang Town is restored and the third adopted son is the commander, they can gather people's hearts again, and restrain the enemy for western Liaoning, so that Huang Taiji dare not invade the capital again."
Sun Chengzong nodded: "This is the most correct way, but the third adopted son has a lot of complaints about Yuan Ni's killing Mao Shuai. Once they are allowed to form an army, it is just as the emperor is worried."
Zhao Xing laughed and said, "When Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Shuai for his ulterior motives and destroyed the Great Wall by himself for his ulterior motives, it was his crime. Later, the emperor endorsed Yuan Chonghuan, but he was actually deceived by Yuan Chonghuan. As the saying goes, Zhou Gong was afraid of rumors and Wang Mang was not usurping (the corporal). Isn't this the case? At the same time, did the emperor also consider the overall situation?"
The slope that Zhao Xing handed over was about to touch Chongzhen's heart. He clapped his hands: "Yes, yes, Zhao Aiqing is right." Then he deliberately sighed: "It's still Zhao Aiqing who understands my heart."
"The third adopted sons are all carrying a deep blood hatred with the extermination of the Later Jin clan. They will not surrender to the Later Jin. Which of the soldiers in Dongjiang Town is not a deep hatred with the Later Jin? Even if they want to surrender, the soldiers will not surrender."
Later, when surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, it was forced by the officials of the court. First, Chongzhen firmly disagreed with rehabilitation of Mao Wenlong, then the tycoons pressed step by step, and Shandong officials were oppressed layer by layer. With the feeling of revenge for their adoptive father, he had to betray Shandong and surrender to the Qing Dynasty.
Now everyone nodded in agreement with what Zhao Xing did.
"The loyalty of the third adopted son to Mao Wenlong is no longer comparable to that of father and son. Therefore, I am in a dark mind and ask Mao Chengdou, the son of Mao Shuai, to be the general officer of Dongjiang Town. However, Mao Chengdou was young and in order to reflect the great grace of the emperor, he asked the emperor to reward Tian and houses in the capital, and take Mao Shuai's first wife, Zhang's concubine Tian, to train Mao Chengdou in Beijing."
The reason why Zhao Xing has such confidence is that as long as he pinched Mao Wenlong's family, he could grasp the three of them and learn about the ending of history.
He really avenged his adoptive father and was willing to surrender and kill the enemies of their entire clan. It can be seen how loyal the three of them were to Mao Wenlong. At the same time, when the three were named King Sanshun, they asked Mao Chengdou to follow them to enjoy their happiness several times. For this reason, they were willing to write a letter to Shunzhi and were willing to transfer their title to Mao Chengdou. This is not a description of loyalty. But Mao Chengdou had backbone, and finally, in order to get rid of the three of them's sincerity, he went into the mountains and eventually disappeared, and he had his backbone.
But at this time, Zhao Xing was actually taking huge risks, because Mao Shouyi was standing at the door holding a knife. If Mao Shouyi was disgusted with this kind of approach of taking hostages, with his violent temper from the Northeastern people, he could directly slash him with his knife.
As a result, he looked at Mao Shouyi with guilt, and everyone looked at Mao Shouyi. Mao Shouyi had already understood, so he knelt down at the door and kowtowed to Zhao Xing: "Thank you for your good intentions." Then he said bluntly: "As long as the emperor rehabilitates Mao Shuai and treats my little boss well, I can guarantee that my two uncles and brother Mao Kexi will never betray the court."
With this sentence, everyone felt relieved and relieved Chongzhen's concerns and suspicions.
The most fundamental reason why Chongzhen acknowledged that Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong was that Mao Wenlong refused to let his family go to Beijing and did not accept civil officials and eunuchs to supervise the army. This is the biggest taboo as a military general in the border area.
If they could accept the resettlement of Mao Shuai's family in the capital, Chongzhen could still rebuild Dongjiang Town according to Zhao Xing's method. Because he also knew the great role of Dongjiang Town, especially under the great pressure of Zhao Xing's report on Huang Taiji, the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of Han, Chongzhen had to let go.
But he was still unable to come to Taiwan when he really made the world clear of Mao Wenlong.
Seeing Chongzhen's expression, Zhao Xing could only continue to be confused. "Long live to write a letter to Mao Zhongming and the other three. It is a letter. I took this letter to Shandong to meet the third adopted son in person, and explained the secrets to them."
This arrangement is very thoughtful, a letter of family, not an imperial edict or a handwritten edict. In this way, in the face of the official, as the emperor, he did not overturn the imperial edict that had been endorsed for Yuan Chonghuan, and the emperor did not go back on his word, but in terms of personal arrangements, his personal relationship was rehabilitated. This not only solved the problem, but also brought Chongzhen closer to the relationship between the three.
Faced with Zhao Xing's enthusiasm and responsibility, Chongzhen could not say anything anymore, so he directly ordered Zhao Xing to bring paper and pen and write a letter to his third adopted son at Zhao Xing's home.
The content of the letter was that he was deceived by Yuan Chonghuan at that time, and at the same time, he endorsed Yuan Chonghuan for the sake of the overall situation.
Now, I am preparing to reopen Dongjiang Town, with Mao Chengdou, son of Mao Shuai, as the general of Dongjiang Town. The three of them actually lead the troops. I allow you to set up a ancestral hall for Mao Shuai in his hometown and sacrifice in Pi Island in his personal name.
In fact, such an arrangement was equivalent to Chongzhen admitting his mistake to the three of them. This not only gave Chongzhen a face, but also comforted the heart of the third adopted son.
After receiving this letter, Zhao Xing was happy. History was obviously twisted by himself. The possibility of Huang Taiji's invasion of the capital in the last two games was slim. The Ming Dynasty's carriage that was rushing into the abyss was finally trampled to death by Chongzhen. Once Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting solved the northwest, the overall situation of the carriage turning around would be determined.
After arranging this, Chongzhen stood up and said happily: "In just half a day, he has done so many major national affairs and can all be implemented. This is much higher than the court meeting that holds a month. I think if there is any major event next time, just talk at Zhao Aiqing's house."
