The jealous General Denglai

The yamen of the governor Denglai was probably the most dilapidated among all the governors in the Ming Dynasty. Because Dengzhou Prefecture is an unsafe place, wars and chaos occur from time to time, and Tartars are eyeing it outside, so the successive governor Denglai will not repair it, as long as it can barely live in people.

Those who serve as the governor of Denlai regard this position as a way to upgrade the grade. Once the grade is improved, they must immediately find a way to transfer it. None of the previous governors of Denlai has a term of more than two years. The shortest is even seven months.

At this moment, in the meeting hall of the Governor's Office of the Denglai Governor's Office, there were several people sitting discussing the matter. The person sitting on the right was naturally the Governor of Denglai. He was the highest-level official in the Denglai region and the top military and political leaders. The person sitting on the left was the Shandong general Liu Zeqing, the second-in-commander of the Ming army in the Denglai region... Which is the top leader? Of course, it is Yang Wenyue. Although Liu Zeqing is the first-rank general and the highest official position of a military officer, he is subject to the control of Yang Wenyue, who is only a third-rank general.

On the right, the lower head is Zeng Hualong, the governor of Dengzhou Prefecture. He is very old and has poor energy, and always looks a little drowsy. If he accidentally, saliva will hang down from the corner of his mouth. Then, the lower head is Sun Zhike, the governor of Laizhou Prefecture. He is energetic and energetic. Unfortunately, because of some of the previous things, he was not very popular in the eyes of his colleagues. At this time, in order to avoid arousing everyone's disgust, he could only sit quietly.

On the left, the lower head is Dengzhou gentry general Du Shengyuan, a big man with a dark skin and a tough expression. Du Shengyuan kept clenching his fists, as if he was sure to win. Next head is Dengzhou guerrilla Song Degang. His expression was a bit complicated, a little expectant, but a little uneasy.

The issue discussed is of course the issue of regaining Tatsuyoshima.

After Song Degang returned to Dengzhou Prefecture, he immediately reported to General Liu Zeqing.

Liu Zeqing was indeed very interested and praised Song Degang for his flexibility and far-sightedness on the spot. Liu Zeqing's reaction was completely within Song Degang's expectations. Liu Zeqing was a general of Shandong and was directly responsible for military affairs. Tartars appeared in Shandong and were not effective in clearing them. The first thing he was held accountable is he. Once this rotten sore is exposed and the matter is big, the person who is most likely to be directly asked to be executed is also the general officer.

If it were decades ago, the general officer would have an extraordinary position. No province would have had a general officer. During the Wanli period, there was only one general in Shandong, and there was not even a deputy general. However, by the seventh year of Chongzhen, there were already many general officers. Not to mention the group of general officers responsible for suppressing the chaos in Shaanxi, there were three generals in Shandong alone. Their titles were all Shandong generals, in charge of various places. Liu Zeqing was in charge of the two prefectures. But the islands that appeared in the Tatars were all under the jurisdiction of the two prefectures. Who would you hold them accountable if you didn’t hold them accountable?

Liu Zeqing immediately reported to Denglai Governor Yang Wenyue.

Yang Wenyue was indeed quite interested.

If Tian Hengdao is squeezed out, he will not be able to escape the fate of being imprisoned. Compared with military generals like Liu Zeqing, civil servants are even weaker when they meet the Jinyiwei and can only passively capture them. The generals have a chance to resist. It seems that veterans like Zuo Liangyu have hundreds of personal soldiers around him. Even if they make mistakes, the Jinyiwei dare not arrest anyone. The court dared not scold Zuo Liangyu for fear of pushing him to the rebel army.

Speaking of which, Liu Zeqing also has hundreds of servants. If he acts ruthlessly, the Jinyiwei dares not do anything. Outsiders think that the Jinyiwei is very terrifying and can catch people at will. In fact, the Jinyiwei is also a human being, and he is also afraid of death. It is okay to catch civil servants. Often this is the most powerful time for them. However, if you want to catch military generals and have a large number of servants around you, the Jinyiwei will be afraid of it.

For example, when Li Chengliang was born, the Jinyiwei dared not put a single fart on his territory. The reason is very simple. Li Chengliang had eight thousand servants in his hands. All 30,000 to 40,000 people in the Jinyiwei were pulled over, which was not enough for these eight thousand servants to get stuck in the teeth. In fact, when it comes to war, the Jinyiwei was completely outsiders. Dongchang was similar to the Jinyiwei, which means bullying civil servants. He did not dare to wipe the generals lightly.

Therefore, a very strange phenomenon occurred in the Ming Dynasty: the civil servants had a very high status, but their lives were never guaranteed, and their homes were beheaded and confiscated at every turn, even Zhang Juzheng was no exception. The status of military generals was very low, and a first-rank general had to be humble to a fifth-rank general, but there were very few generals who were captured and killed.

In the second year of Chongzhen, Shanxi General Zhang Honggong was killed because he was on the territory of the three major camps of the capital. If he was in one acre of three-point land in Shanxi, who would dare to kill him? Yuan Chonghuan, the fool, rashly killed Mao Wenlong, the general of Dongjiang Town, and ended up being sent to the guillotine.

This strange phenomenon is even more obvious in the battlefield of the Central Plains. Due to the ineffective suppression of the uprising army, the governors, the prime ministers, and the governors of the top were constantly arrested and imprisoned, and Yang He, Chen Qiyu, Xiong Wencan and others were all among them. The generals below were always fine. On the contrary, the court had to constantly commend these generals. Zuo Liangyu, He Renlong, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, Zuo Guangxian and other generals didn't know how comfortable they lived.

...It's gone far.

The opportunity should not be missed, and no more mistakes will come. Yang Wenyue immediately summoned the civil and military officials under his command and went to the conference hall to discuss.

"On that day, the officials led their troops to Aoshan City...the basic situation is that."

Dengzhou guerrilla Song Degang first explained the deal he reached with Zhang Zhun.

As for the powerful relationship, he believed that he did not need to clarify it himself. Everyone present was a human spirit, and they naturally ate the marrow and taste it carefully. Generally speaking, this transaction has great benefits to everyone present, and they have no reason to object.

"Song Guerrilla's proposal is very good. We Dengzhou Prefecture will fully support it."

Sure enough, Zeng Hualong took the lead in expressing his attitude.

Zeng Hualong, the governor of Dengzhou Prefecture, was an old man from Sun Yuanhua. He stayed at the position of governor of Dengzhou Prefecture for six years. When Kong Youde was in trouble, he was detained. Kong Youde tried to force him to join the Tartars with him, but he refused to leave with Kong Youde. In the end, Kong Youde let him go in his old relationship. Later, the whole story was basically found out, and he was still restored to his post and continued to serve as the governor.

Zeng Hualong was the first to agree with the Tartars who destroyed Tianheng Island. No matter how Zhang Zhun made a rebellion, he was on the territory of Laizhou Prefecture. The Tartars on Tianheng Island, the burning Laiyang City was under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou Prefecture. The Tartars burned Laiyang City was temporarily suppressed, and the emperor did not know. If the emperor knew, it might cause an uproar. What awaited him would inevitably be the fate of being arrested and imprisoned.

These days, there are a lot of prisoners such as Grand Secretary, Secretary of State, and Governor, let alone a small prefect? ​​Even if there is no need to be arrested and imprisoned, it is possible that the Jinyiwei will come directly with the imperial edict to behead and show the public. If you want to eliminate the danger of being arrested and imprisoned or beheaded or shown to the public, you can only cut off the poisonous sore of Tian Hengdao as soon as possible, and the faster the speed, the better.

"I agree with it."

After a moment, Sun Zhixie also agreed.

In the final analysis, Tianheng Island is under the jurisdiction of Laizhou Prefecture. If this poisonous sore is not cut off as soon as possible, it will definitely endanger his life. Moreover, the last time the Tartars went ashore to burn, kill and loot, which was more or less related to him. Thinking of the secret connection between him and the Tartars, Sun Zhixie of course wanted to kill all the Tartars and silence them.

"The last one will be willing to take the lead!"

Seeing that all the adults agreed, Song Degang hurriedly expressed his courage and determination.

The long-awaited opportunity has finally arrived and no one will let it go.

"The last general is willing to take the lead! He will never refuse!"

Dengzhou gang general Du Shengyuan was not a fool, and then said loudly.

If it were in the past, the two of the Tartars on Tianheng Island would never have been involved. The Tartars were so fierce, who would be fools who would be tangled with the Tartars? They had never heard of the Tartars' rampage. But now, the situation is different. Now, the Tartars on Tianheng Island have been severely weakened, and their combat effectiveness has been lost by more than 70%. Who would not be able to beat the dogs in the water?

Even the blind man can see that at this time, it is definitely a great achievement to deal with the Tartars on Tianheng Island. Promotion and wealth are inevitable. Maybe there is also a chance to meet the saint. As long as you have the opportunity to meet the saint, you will be successful from now on. Let’s not talk about anything else, there is a general in Denglai now in Denglai that is vacant. Whoever makes great contributions may be promoted to Denglai. Taking Tianheng Island may become the fourth general in Shandong. This is the highest honor of military generals!

The military system in the Denglai area of ​​the Ming Dynasty was very complicated and difficult to describe in one word.
