191: Blowing the Sand and Traveling Thousands of Miles (24)

The three guards of Tianjin were originally insignificant, and they were an absolute "little brother" in front of many important towns near the capital. Until the Wanli period, Japan's invasion of North Korea awakened the bad memories of the "Japanese plague" in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Zhigao, the Grand Secretary at that time, analyzed the situation very thoroughly. He said: "If the Japanese cannot invade China in the north, they only rely on Korea to Quan and Qing. The two roads of Qing will be our guards. When Quan Qing is destroyed, Korea will be destroyed. Once Korea is destroyed, Japan will not follow the land and invade Liao. They will have to follow the Eastern Han Dynasty, Linjin, Qingchuan, Dading, Datong, and Yalu Rivers divided into four rivers. All the southeast coasts have close concerns, which is a major problem now. Therefore, Quan, Qing must be stationed troops, and even the coastal frontiers should be prevented."

"Tianjin Beigong Shenjing, Nantong Canal, Chenfei's meeting, crown and cover, duck green sail can arrive in three days." In this case, "Tianjin, Denglaimo would be more than a member of the Japanese governor, defend the Central Plains in the south, the Northern Shenjing in the east, and the Eastern Sea Island. This is the most indispensable part of internal defense."

When Zhu Cixuan read this archive in the palace, he could not help but be amazed. When so many people in later generations questioned the significance of the Korean War, they did not expect that as early as the Wanli era, the court officials had already realized that North Korea was actually the meaning of China's Pingfan.

Tianjin was therefore established as a governor and general, but it was not a local governor, but a special governor - the governor of Tianjin Coast Defense. The right assistant chief of the Shandong governor, Wanshidega Principal, was appointed as the governor of Tianjin Denglai Coast. Because North Korea's national strength was weak and could not support the food and salary issues of the Ming army entering the North, Wanshide and subsequent governors of Tianjin were committed to reclaiming military farms and expanding their power to civil affairs.

In the 27th year of Wanli, the Japanese riots in Korea were quelled, and the governor of Tianjin moved to Baoding. Until the first year of Tianqi, Jiannu occupied Liaoyang, Jin, Fu, Hai, and Jiannu. These four prefectures were really owned by Jiannu. These four prefectures were really a water and a water flowing distance of Tianjin. It took two days to sail with sails. Tianjin, as the throat of the north and south, was a hub for water and land freight transportation in western Liaoning, and was also a food and salary supply for the Eastern Army. It was necessary to set up important governors.

"I was transferred to the right assistant chief of the Guanglu Temple as Shaoqing, and governor of Tianjin." Li Banghua revisited his hometown and couldn't help but sigh. He received a letter from Zhu Cilang in the capital, and despite the bumps of the carriage and horses, he arrived in Tianjin. Seeing that the crown prince was safe and sound, he sat high in the hall, and Wu, Sun Chuanting, Cai Maode and others were there, his heart finally felt much more at ease.

Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "Tianmen is indeed a strategic location, but it is also a place that cannot be defended. We just turn the sea route from here."

"Your Highness is going to Jiangnan?" Li Banghua asked curiously.

"Shandong." Zhu Cilang said: "Zhou Yingqi was originally the governor of Shandong, but now he has taken a boat back to Laizhou to settle down and settle down."

"Your Highness comes from Shanxi. Why don't you go to Shandong by land?" Li Banghua said in confusion.

Zhu Cixuan said: "Your father, country and mother are still in a place where you are tired, how can you walk alone?"

Li Banghua thought for a while and looked around the close ministers of the Eastern Palace. Seeing that they didn't speak, he said leisurely: "Your Highness can hear that when a person dies, it may be heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather."

Sima Qian's "Letter to Ren'an" is an introductory reading material at present.

"Your Majesty is carrying the Nine Cauldrons. Only by insisting on the righteousness of exile." Li Banghua said calmly: "The current national power is in a state of danger and people are suspicious. If the emperor is the master of China, he should guard China; if the parents of Zhao people, he should comfort Zhao people; if the master of the magistrate temple, he should guard the magistrate temple. Zhou Ping and Zhao Gao's humble plans are not suitable for hearing."

"Haha," Wu Qing smiled freely and easily. "This is a bad statement from Xiantai. If it weren't for Zhou Ping's migration to the east, would the Zhou Dynasty have a national destiny for the next four hundred years? If it weren't for Song Gao's migration to the south, how could the martial arts world be restored? Since it is a sign of democracy, we should live with the people, how could we make a fuss about Mount Tai lightly?"

Zhu Cixuan knew that Li Banghua's strength was fair and moral. Although his vision was accurate, he was not a good eloquent. He interrupted and said, "Someone in the court must hold this theory, but I don't know why the emperor's father didn't take it?"

Seeing that Zhu Cilang had distracted the topic, Li Banghua knew the meaning of His Royal Highness going around, and still said slowly: "The emperor has not taken the proposal to move south, nor has he taken the proposal to stick to it."

"Uh? That's puzzling."

Li Banghua said helplessly: "The emperor hopes that the ministers of the cabinet will make a decision. However, the old gentlemen of the cabinet will refuse. First, if they insist on moving south and are left to guard Beijing, wouldn't it be obvious that the city will be destroyed or destroyed? Second, if they are lucky enough to follow Nanxing, they may be even more miserable. If they live with Shenjing, they can still get a gift. If they survive in Jiangnan, they will only be punished for the dead, or be dismissed or imprisoned, and there will be no benefit. Which ministers of the cabinet will do such a harmful and unprofitable thing?"

Zhu Cilang shook his head slightly and said to himself: My father is not kind now. He has been arbitrary for seventeen years and when he encounters such a major problem, he expects others to take the blame. He takes the reputation and wants to be profitable. How can there be such a good person in the Pavilion Assistant?

He suddenly thought of Tian Cunshan. After being educated, this guy has been trying hard to take the blame for him. Now he is really indispensable.

In comparison, the eunuch is indeed much cute.

"It's not only the case that moving south is like this." Li Banghua took a sip of tea and continued, "Please ask the prince and Ding and the two kings of Yong to go south to supervise the country, and the same is true for the vassals. Some people compare the matter of Emperor Suzong of Tang, Li Heng, to establish himself as emperor, which made it difficult for His Majesty to make a decision, and the ministers are even more unwilling to take responsibility."

During the Anshi Rebellion, Li Heng and Lingwu ascended the throne and became emperor, and respected Emperor Ming of Tang Li Longji as the Supreme Emperor. Li Longji himself did not mind this matter. Not only did he help his son to make up for the abdication procedures, he also ordered other princes to go to Lingwu to obey the orders of the new emperor. However, his biological father did not care, and later emperors were not afraid of being in danger of his adult son, so as not to suddenly become the Supreme Emperor one day.

Zhu Cilang took a breath and spit out two words: "Ignorance."

Li Banghua smiled and said, "There is still a matter of transferring Liao Town to pass into the pass!" He couldn't help but feel bitter in his smile, and he said to the crown prince in detail: "The holy heart originally wanted to transfer Wu Sangui into the capital to defend the capital. However, Zhang Jinyan, the soldier, said: "The adjustment of Sangui is not adjusted, and we should not abandon Ningyuan." The chief assistant Chen Yan promoted the 'one inch of mountains and rivers and one inch of gold' everywhere. The land of Ningyuan 300 miles must not be abandoned! Therefore, until today, the matter of transferring Sangui into the capital has not yet been concluded."

Zhu Cilang couldn't help but pat the table lightly and frowned: "The emperor's father is really... cough cough, even if a minister dares to say that the matter of abandoning the land is, as long as he agrees, the history books still say that the holy dictates the land is a little... Will he still name the minister and say that it is a minister who deceives the holy intention!"

Giving up the country is absolutely unavailable. Why do you have to let the ministers take down such a big problem?

"Wait, transfer Wu Sangui to Beijing? Is he willing?" Zhu Cixuan was a little surprised: "I heard that Shanhaiguan and Guangning are all private property of Wu's family. How could he abandon his private property and enter the capital for protection?"

Li Banghua said: "I don't know this. I think Wu Sangui was also known as "the bravest army and the filial piety of the nine borders" in his early years. He should know that the overall situation is the priority."

Although Wu Sangui had a history of running away at the battle and causing Hong Chengchou to be captured, there were also heroic moments when twenty-eight cavalry broke through the 3,000 Jiannu camp and rescued his father Wu Xiang. Zhu Cilang's impression of Wu Sangui was still influenced by later generations, and he thought that he was not a loyal minister and brave general.

"Well, Your Highness, Wu Xiang has arrived in Beijing recently and was ordered to supervise the Beijing camp. The resolution will be issued in the next two days." Li Banghua said.

Zhu Cixuan only lamented the pain of inconvenience in this era after arriving in Tianjin. Bai Guangen had already become Li Zicheng's Taoyuan Bo, and the silver seal that appointed Bai Guangen as the "General of the Bandit" was sent out. Shandong reported the report of the "Breakup" invading, and then received the edict summoning Shandong General Liu Zeqing to defend the king.

I'm afraid that Emperor Chongzhen would make a decision, and even if Wu Sangui flew back to Beijing, it would be too late.

...

Chongzhen sat in Wuying's hall and asked the white-haired general in front of him: "How many soldiers are there between you, your father and your son?"

The white-haired general was Wu Xiang who returned to Beijing from Shanhaiguan, the father of Wu Sangui. He knew that he could not brag at this time, so he quickly kowtowed and replied: "I have been punished for thousands of times! I have verified 30,000 soldiers according to 80,000 soldiers. Because I need food and salary for several soldiers to support a soldier, this is a common problem for each side, not starting from closing the door."

Chongzhen still had a glimmer of hope: "Are these 30,000 people brave and good at fighting?"

Wu Xiang's heart trembled, using his ability to do business, and then retreated: "If 30,000 people are soldiers, why should we succeed today? My soldiers are only 3,000."

Chongzhen only felt the back of his teeth itchy, and he held back and asked, "How can three thousand people resist millions?"

Wu Xiang evasively said, "These three thousand soldiers are not ordinary soldiers, but the sons of Xiang and the brothers of Sangui! Since receiving the favor of the country, I have only eaten coarse grains, and all three thousand people have eaten fine wine and fat sheep; I have only worn coarse cloth, and all three thousand people have worn silk and satin! Therefore, I can die!"

Chongzhen swallowed his breath: "How much money is needed?"

"million!"

"Million!" Chongzhen took a breath of air conditioning: "Million yuan of salary, even if you raise 30,000 soldiers, you can't use it!"

"One million taels of silver is still a shortage." Wu Xiang hurriedly settled the accounts for the emperor: "These three thousand people have farms worth hundreds of taels of silver outside the pass. Now they have abandoned them to enter the pass. What kind of land is given to them? The salary has been reduced by fourteen months. What kind of supplement is used? There are still six million people outside the pass, so where are they placed? According to this calculation, millions are not enough to save money. How dare I speak nonsense?"

If Wu Xiang calculated it like this, it would not be enough.

However, whether it is tens of millions or millions, it is the same for Chongzhen.

"The silver in the warehouse is only 70,000 taels. If you collect all the gold and silver utensils, you may have to collect 200,000 taels." Chongzhen said helplessly.

Wu Xiang had no choice but to sigh, as if he was lamenting the difficulties of the country's destiny, and as if he was lamenting that a good deal could not be completed.

Chongzhen returned to the inner palace midway and soon received news that the prince had arrived in Tianjin. However, he was always on Guan Ning Bing, and was really physically and mentally exhausted by this son who disappointed him. After a long time, he waved his hand and was powerless: "Let him take care of himself." (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
