Chapter seven hundred and twentieth: enemy attack
Huang Liji stood there without saying a word.
I have a very positive attitude as long as I am not embarrassed, but what is embarrassing is the attitude of others.
When Emperor Tianqi saw that he was like a wooden stake, he said, "Why don't the Huang Qing family say?"
Huang Liji was already full of grievances.
here we go again.
In fact, he also knew that this was difficult to express.
In fact, he has never had any good feelings for Wang Wenjun.
After all, Huang Liji was also a victim of Qingliu, but he was the leader of civil officials after all, and all officials thought that Wang Wenjun was extraordinary. If he followed Zhang Jing and stepped on Wang Wenjun, he would have been charged with flattering the emperor and colluding with Zhang Jing.
But if he stood on the side of Yang Jingchen... he would inevitably stand opposite Zhang Jing.
Why did he go to provoke Zhang Jingyi for nothing?
His Majesty asked him what he thought about this matter, but in fact his Majesty had a prejudice in his heart. In most cases, His Majesty and Zhang Jingyi were in the same group, so he was waiting for him to express his opinion.
At this time, we must show the skills of the chief assistant who has been together for so many years.
The so-called need to... and... and...
Taking a deep breath, Huang Li became very calm and said, "I have heard a little about Wang Wenjun's deeds in Zhenjiang. However, Zhenjiang is thousands of miles away from the capital. I cannot guess what Wang Wenjun's behavior is. However... I think it is difficult to make public comments now. Your Majesty has ordered him to be the supervisor. If it is changed easily, on the one hand... I am afraid that all officials will be suspicious and the morale of the military and civilians will be greatly reduced. The second thing is to change generals at the last minute, which is really unknown. Therefore, I mean... I... Let's wait and see first and then make a conclusion."
These words are very effective.
Emperor Tianqi thought to himself that Mr. Huang seemed to dislike Wang Wenjun, but he was worried that my replacement of generals would cause various storms. He just thought about it carefully. This supervisor had been gone for several months. If he changed generals temporarily, it would be inappropriate.
As for Yang Jingchen, he only thought that some people in the court saw that Wang Wenjun was uncomfortable and wanted to mess with him. I was here to argue, and Mr. Huang was obviously also fighting for it, trying to ensure that Wang Wenjun did not lose his position as the governor.
So Emperor Tianqi said, "I am only afraid that such people will miss the military opportunity."
"Your Majesty." Yang Jingchen couldn't help but say, "The prince acted meticulously and did nothing. When he was in the Censorate, he impeached the law and greatly applauded the people. All the scholars and people in the world respected them. Such virtuous people are actually in line with the will of the army and the people. If he is in charge, the pirates will be defeated. Your Majesty should be unquestionable."
"What's more, the prince and the prince taught the collection of essays of all officials to discuss teachings. Isn't this knowledge all the principles of the Four Books and Five Classics? What advocates is benevolence and righteousness. The so-called benevolence and righteousness are what people want."
Emperor Tianqi said with a big head and said unhappy: "Okay, okay, but I still have to issue an order to urge him. Huang Qing will personally draw up the order and teach him to use his life with peace of mind and not to be lazy."
This has regained some face, but it is indeed not appropriate to change players at this time.
But this kind of reprimand is a wind direction, which is inevitably heartbreaking.
Yang Jingchen couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, I... thought this was not possible. If I issued an order to instruct the soldiers, it would inevitably be cold. Besides, I have also read the reports from Zhenjiang. The princes and the princes were elegant and did not abandon military affairs. The officials of the six provinces were convinced by him. Everyone tried their best to strengthen the coastal defense, raise money and grain, and fund military affairs. The preparations of the sea guards in various places also used the method of practicing the new books and practiced diligently. These were all waiting for the battle, and the civil and military officials of the six provinces had no complaints, but why did the court punish them so unreasonably?"
Emperor Tianqi did not want to continue to get involved in this issue, so he said with a stern face: "You please leave."
After directly sending all the ministers away, Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but be angry and said to Zhang Jing who was deliberately staying: "Zhang Qing, I have told you a long time ago that you did this supervisor, otherwise how could there be so many troubles? Then Wang Wenjun has such a high reputation in the court. No one impeached him no matter what he did, and he only applauded!"
Emperor Tianqi said at this time that he was as frustrated as he was.
Zhang Jingyi smiled slightly and said calmly: "Your Majesty, I don't want to undermine the situation, but I just think that some things are wrong, and the matter of coastal defense. To be honest, I really don't have the ability to take charge of the six provinces and make the civil and military officials from all over the six provinces convince me, so I quit the position of supervisor."
Zhang Jingyi has carefully considered this matter.
Coastal defense involves too many things, from training troops to food and grass, to fortifications in various places, as well as manpower dispatch, countless official documents, six provinces, thirty-seven prefectures, and 232 prefectures and counties. Just writing and meeting the mountains and rivers will flood Zhang Jing. What else can you do?
What's more, these six provinces are all old systems. Those civil and military officials and generals all have their own set of values. Most people do not agree with him. They hope that they will do their best to do their best by relying on a position of supervisor?
Power is both top-down, but also bottom-up. Only when the people below you have the same values and goals as you, can your orders be executed accurately. Otherwise, it will become mutual ruling and hypocritical disobedience. You cannot stare at each of them all the time.
This is why, since ancient times, countless smart people have been tied up once they enter the court, and it is difficult to achieve success.
Unless you are like Zhuge Liang, you must do everything yourself, but the problem is that it is only useful that a talent like Zhuge Liang can do everything yourself.
Is Zhuge Liang strong in his mind?
Emperor Tianqi didn't say much, and exhaled a sigh of relief, just said with emotion: "Let's see how this person is. If there is any report on the Jinyiwei, I will report it together." Gu
Zhang Jingyi agreed naturally.
The capital has just agreed.
But at this moment...
In Zhenhaiwei, Taicang Prefecture, someone suddenly rushed into the commanding hall of the guards crying.
"Report, report... There is thief love, there is thief love..."
The Zhenhaiwei used to be a garrison, but now... in order to prepare for the sea, he directly transferred the elite soldiers here to train horses, with a total of as many as 4,000 people.
The person who led the team was Liu Mingwu, the guerrilla general promoted by Wang Wenjun. Liu Mingwu was once a thousand households, but Wang Wenjun valued him and ordered him to train troops in Zhenhaiwei.
Liu Mingwu immediately realized that his chance to make a fortune came. After arriving at Zhenhaiwei, he began to recruit soldiers. The so-called recruitment was to draw strong soldiers from the original garrison, and on the other hand, to recruit strong men.
Taicang is the gateway to the estuary of the Yangtze River, and Zhenhaiwei is the gateway to the gateway here. It is of great importance. In order to recruit soldiers, he and the governor of Taicang Prefecture and the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture were exhausted.
Even here, Liu Mingwu imitated the Qi family army, saying that the Zhenhai Guard horse was the Liu family army, to show that he fully followed the commander's wishes and tried his best to imitate Qi Jiguang.
But at this moment, in this continuous water village, someone first howled: "The thief is here, the thief is here."
Immediately afterwards, a cannon sounded.
Of course, this cannon did not kill the enemy, but sent a warning message.
Suddenly, Liu Mingwu was so shocked that he hurriedly walked out of the maid's room where he brought him to the army. He was wearing clothes in a mess while walking, with an anxious face and shouting: "Where are the thiefs, where are the thiefs?"
"Report..." The personal soldier stumbled and fell to Liu Mingwu's feet and said hysterically: "The river mouth... is in the river mouth... many ships, many ships..."
Liu Mingwu raised his eyebrows, took a deep breath, and said, "Don't be afraid, they are in the water and we are waiting on the shore. They can't help us. Summon brothers and wait for me to wear them."
At this time, he suddenly realized that it seemed that Hu Yesheng, the magistrate of Taicang Prefecture, was still in this guard.
This time, he was invited to come because Hu Yesheng escorted a batch of food and grass, so he stayed in this camp for a day. He drank until late at night last night, but he didn't know if he woke up.
Calm down.
Liu Mingwu quickly went to another wing room in the courtyard, but he did not dare to go in rashly, but carefully informed the civil servants beside Hu Yesheng.
After the clerk went in to report, not long after Hu Yesheng walked out majestic wearing a black hat.
Liu Mingwu smiled and bowed to Hu Yesheng, and bowed respectfully, "How did Mr. Hu rest last night?"
Hu Yesheng smiled faintly, received his courtesy and said, "Shang Hao, I heard that there is a thief, right?"
In theory, Liu Mingwu is actually a third-rank military officer.
Hu Yesheng, after all, was actually just a small sixth-grade judge.
Logically speaking, Liu Mingwu's official position is much larger than Hu Yesheng.
However, Liu Mingwu did not dare to neglect him at all. He not only gave him a polite manner, but even was very polite.
You should know that the Ming Dynasty used civil servants to build military affairs, and even local civil servants, Liu Mingwu sometimes dared not offend him easily.
After all, Hu Yesheng was a senior scholar in the imperial examination and a third-class Jinshi. His great master, one of the chief examiners of the exam, is now the Left Censor in the Censorate.
The Zuodu Censor and the current supervisor Wang Wenjun are colleagues.
The civil servant who came from the imperial examinations had a very complicated identity. He could not understand the relationship between teachers, students, masters, classmates and classmates in the same year. Even if it was just Hu Yesheng, no one could guarantee who was involved behind him.
Moreover, under normal circumstances, if there is a conflict between civil officials and military generals in the local area, the superiors will almost be indiscriminate. Let’s deal with the military generals first. This is almost custom-made and has no reason to say.
After all, you dare to go against the local civil servants now, and you dare not even think about what you dare to do in the future.
If you are labeled as a arrogant general, then you will be finished.
Liu Mingwu answered carefully: "Yes, I just reported that a thief was coming."
