Chapter three hundred and eighty: sinners fall under the law
When Zhang Jing saw Emperor Tianqi being interested, he said, "Your Majesty, no matter how sharp the weapon is, it is still used by people. If the same firearm is used for the three major camps of the capital, I am afraid that it will be a waste of resources... I did not intend to arrange the Jing camp, but I am afraid that such a weapon will be given to them."
"So..." Zhang Jingyi continued: "The key to the problem is still people. To ensure that people make the best use of it, a series of systems and guarantees are needed to make them have no worries when fighting, can take the initiative and be well-trained. So essentially... the way to train troops is not to give people war horses or firearms, but to first understand what kind of people they want to recruit, and then tell these people why they fight, and then make them have no worries in their lives and give them respect."
"In this way... such an army can be invincible. In fact, how to make the best use of the people, even the ministers are slowly exploring. There are still many inappropriate places in the military academy, and they need to be built slowly based on actual conditions. Nothing is a one-day achievement, but fortunately, this time our students encountered waste like Guanning Army. Otherwise, they would be unlikely to be lucky."
Emperor Tianqi nodded repeatedly when he heard the words before, feeling reasonable.
But Emperor Tianqi was a little confused about what he said later.
Is Guanning Army a waste? Is this the elite of the Ming Dynasty...
Well, they are indeed trash.
Emperor Aoki couldn't help but feel excited at this time.
But he did not say anything to Zhang Jingyi anymore, but ordered people: "Summon all officials here."
So not long after, King Xin Zhu Youjian brought his men to the front of the formation.
At this time, I saw that it was already full of devastation.
Everyone couldn't help but take a breath.
At this time, Emperor Tianqi was holding his hands behind his back, his face turned ashen, and after his eyes were ignorant, he said coldly: "I never expected that in this capital, I would be attacked here... and I would not say what the attacker was. I would understand it. I would never imagine why these people met Jiannu people in Liaodong, and they were all trembling, but when they raised their swords to rebel, they could be so fierce! In their eyes, are I not even as good as Jiannu?"
When these words were said, all the officials were terrified.
This is definitely something worth pondering.
The emperor is even more hateful than the foreign tribes.
However, as soon as Zhang Jing stood aside, he couldn't help but think: Isn't this always the case? Foreign tribes can make peace. After all, it's the same for everyone to be emperors, but all the premise is to protect their own interests. If the Jiannu people can protect their interests for some people, then what if they are regicide?
Such things have happened in China countless times.
Emperor Tianqi's face became colder and colder, and he said, "Come here, bring the traitor to me."
The officials had seen many prisoners, and they were all escorted to them in dejected manner.
These people are no less than a thousand.
Looking at the thin number of students, many people have even numb scalp.
This Donglin Military Academy is really a group of lunatics.
Can you win this way?
Fortunately, everyone's fortunes were saved.
But at this time, someone was escorting two people.
One is Li Ruzhen and the other is Wu Xiang.
Many people may not recognize Wu Xiang. He is just a guerrilla general in Liaodong.
But Li Ruzhen, who doesn’t know these officials?
When everyone was shocked when they saw Li Ruzhen being tied up and escorted to Emperor Tianqi.
One by one, what was revealed was a look of horror, and what followed was a whisper: "It's Li Chengliang's third son... why is the Li family involved in this matter?"
Some people also showed meaningful expressions.
The Li family in Liaodong is mixed in Liaodong. At that time, Li Chengliang would not exaggerate the fact that he was the King of Liaodong. Which of his sons and disciples and former officials is now in the position of important positions such as generals and deputy generals?
Most of the military and horses in Liaodong are related to him.
The reason why Xiong Tingbi strongly opposed the Liao people defending Liao territory at the beginning was not that the Ming Dynasty should not have been taken from Liaodong among the military horses of Liaodong. In essence, Xiong Tingbi saw that almost all the Liaodong generals in the Liaodong army were related to the military merit group led by the Li family.
However, it is obvious that Xiong Tingbi's advice is impossible to achieve, because it is simply unrealistic. The subordinates who have deep relationships with the Li family have already controlled almost all positions.
For example, Li Chengliang's younger brother is now a general. His eldest son Li Rusong was originally the general, but because he died in battle, he posthumously named Shaobao, Ningyuan Bo, established a temple, and posthumously posthumously posthumously. When he arrived at the second son Li Rubai, he was also the general of Liaodong, but he fought against Jiannu, but fled and finally committed suicide. But even so, when he arrived at Li Ruzhen, Li Ruzhen was still the general.
The fourth son was appointed as the general of Yansui, Guangxi, and his fifth son Li Rumei died early. In addition, there were generals of Liaodong generals like Zu Dashou, who were almost all promoted by the Li family at the time and had a close relationship with the Li family.
They married each other, became brothers in the army, and formed a close friend.
This is like the close friendship between Li Ruzhen and Zu Dashou, and Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang in front of him are in-laws. Speaking of Wu Xiang's son Wu Sangui, he has to call Zu Dashou as his uncle.
This relationship of mutual promotion and mutual marriage makes this Liaodong, especially military horses like the Guanning Army, like an iron plate.
Now that the ministers saw Li Ruzhen, they were very surprised, and some even whispered: "Is Liaodong a rebellious?"
Emperor Tianqi obviously also saw the doubts of all officials, but said coldly: "Who are you?"
His eyes fell on Wu Xiang.
Wu Xiang was already trembling at this time, his face was gray. His spirit had long disappeared. He said with difficulty: "I am Wu Xiang, the guerrilla general of Shanhaiguan."
As soon as he heard the name of Wu Xiang, the Minister of War Cui Chengxiu, who was standing beside him, said: "Are you a Wu Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi? Your article was also appreciated by Your Majesty, saying that you have good strategies and will become a great person."
As soon as this statement was made, Emperor Tianqi had a little impression. He heard that such people were willing to rebel and was even more furious.
Wu Xiang crawled on the ground and said ashamedly: "My...I...I have to do it."
"Why did you have to?" Emperor Tianqi said angrily with a tense face.
Wu Xiang said: "I am a martial Jinshi who is capable of being disliked by the Ministry of War and is not as good as others everywhere. If I had not followed General Li, how could I be a guerrilla general today?"
This means that if I want to be promoted, I have to find a backer. If I don’t find the Li family as a backer, I’m just afraid I’m still an unknown person now.
Emperor Aoki couldn't help but smile sarcastically, "So, even if it's a treason, do you dare to do it?"
Wu Xiang said, "If you do it, you may be able to gain wealth. If you don't do it... you will die!"
Emperor Tianqi did not expect this man to say this in such a glorious way.
However, he also deeply felt that when the corruption of the rules and regulations reached such a point today, if Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu were there, who would dare to do such a thing?
Emperor Tianqi's eyes then fell on Li Ruzhen.
Li Ruzhen seemed much more calm at this time, without Wu Xiang's fear, and he even glanced at Wu Xiang with contempt.
Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but stare at Li Ruzhen coldly and cursed: "Li Ruzhen, why did you betray me!"
Li Ruzhen fell silent.
After a long time, he actually looked at Emperor Tianqi with a strange look: "It's not my minister who betrayed the king, but it's my minister who betrayed me and others. Your Majesty has already gone on the wrong path. Do you still know it now?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the officials suddenly changed their colors.
People chewed these words carefully and felt more and more frightened.
The meaning of this is clear enough. It is not that I, Li Ruzhen, betrayed you, Emperor Tianqi, betrayed us. You checked accounts in Liaodong and killed gentry in Guide, which made us unable to bear it.
To be honest, Zhang Jing, who was standing aside, actually felt that he had a little progressive thought when he heard this.
The emperor shouldn't have betrayed his class, otherwise it would naturally cause a backlash.
But when I thought about it carefully, I found that these words were simply reactionary. The so-called emperor betrayed them, and these "they" had benefited for hundreds of years, and they had lost the Ming Dynasty and reached a group of people who were about to lose their capital.
Now the survival of the Ming Dynasty is only in front of them. Not only did they not wake up, they even continued to try to extract benefits with confidence, only thinking about personal interests. If there is a slight dissatisfaction, they said that the king treason and the minister want to kill people.
Regret... This is actually not uncommon in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
Many emperors... were suspected to have been murdered by their ministers, so that Emperor Jiajing did not dare to see a doctor when he was sick, and some emperors did not dare to go to the palace to eat easily.
However, these are still some "small means", and it is ruthless to launch a rebellion so blatantly.
Zhang Jing looked at Li Ruzhen, who was still calm, but thought of something more important, so he said, "You said that Your Majesty has betrayed 'Minister'. Who are you, you, Li Ruzhen? If you were only Li Ruzhen, it would be not enough. Since you have such bold plans, you will definitely have a back seat. Otherwise, even if you killed Your Majesty today, you, as traitors, will you definitely not survive. Besides, can you, Li Ruzhen, be able to do such a military mobilization?"
Li Ruzhen's face was filled with the arrogance of a noble family. Even today, he could still act like he was disdainful of others.
