Chapter 18 Yuan Chonghuan and his flickering
Chapter 18 Yuan Chonghuan and his deception ()
In the first year of Chongzhen.
February 12th.
Yuan Chonghuan, a figure in history that made Yang Jinghuan, who had been waiting for for a long time, finally got the call of Yang Jinghuan. Yang Jing summoned this famous historical figure with high standards of platform summoning. The platform summoning that should have happened a few months later was ahead of schedule due to Yang Jinghuan's intervention.
The platform is probably behind Baohe Hall in the Forbidden City in Beijing today, with two small back doors.
In addition to Emperor Yang Jie, there were several auxiliary ministers, Shangshu, and ministers like Sun Chengzong who were close to the emperor.
"Long live my emperor, my minister Yuan Chonghuan kowtowed to the holy house." The legendary Yuan Chonghuan knelt on the ground.
Yang Jing studied the "photo" that Yuan Chonghuan and himself saw in Baidu pictures, and found that Yuan Chonghuan was really qualified to be a "otaku". His gentle appearance was fair and clean, but in reality, due to his long-term military career, his face was full of wind and frost, and his face was a bit dark.
"You are Yuan Chonghuan?...ah..." Yang Jing sighed. For such a controversial historical figure, he also mixed the two psychology of good and bad.
The good thing is that this man is at least capable, dares to fight and is not afraid of death. As for war, he is still a tall man among the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty. The bad thing is that he does not know that the world is high, and what is inversely proportional to his ability to fight is that his strategic vision and thinking are very poor, and it can even be said to be confused and disorganized.
Not to mention anything else, Ping Liao in the fifth year was a big fool, killing Mao Wenlong was inexplicable, and he was doing things like peace talks. Without Sun Chengzong to check and take the helm, and give him guidance from a strategic perspective, he was just a young man, running around.
Of course, there is no worst, only worse. When it comes to being worse, there are people who are worse than Yuan Chonghuan. That is the unlucky guy in history, Chongzhen, who was actually fooled by Yuan Chonghuan.
Yuan Chonghuan and the ministers didn't understand why the emperor sighed. Could it be that something was ruined?
In the confusing eyes of everyone, Yang Jingwei said: "Yuan Aiqing. You were the governor of Liaodong before. You can be said to know everything about Liaodong. I will use you as the governor of Liaodong to tell you what you think and plan for the incident in Liaodong?" This time, a few months earlier than history. Yang Jingwei didn't know if Yuan Chonghuan would propose his famous "Five-Year Palm Liao" plan. Yang Jingwei decided to ask.
"Report to the Emperor... I am specially married to Your Majesty, I hope to make a fuss and be able to recover from Liao in five years..." Yuan Chonghuan finally spoke out his famous historical deception, pacifying Liao in five years.
Yang Jing smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that history is history! Although he called the right hand in hand a few months in advance, Ping Liao still said it from Yuan Chonghuan in the past five years. It seems that this butterfly that incited history is still poor in his ability to form a storm!
"Well, I will ping Liao in five years... so let's talk about your request." Yang Jing did not reject Yuan Chonghuan's plan for the time being, but just asked him to finish his words.
"Within five years, the Ministry of Revenue will transfer military pay, the Ministry of Works will provide equipment, the Ministry of Personnel will employ personnel, and the Ministry of War will dispatch soldiers and generals. All Chinese and foreign affairs must be in accordance with each other, and only then will it be helpful..." Yuan Chonghuan's voice was sonorous and powerful, and his words were fluttering under the beams of the platform, lingering on the heads of everyone.
Yang Jing thought in his mind that he wanted money, things to give things to people, and people to give them, in a word, give whatever they want.
Yang Jie muttered in his heart: Do you want me to give you a few atomic bombs? In this way, you will be destroyed for dozens of miles in one shot and help you get a few b52s so that you can airdrop it on the head of the wild boar skin. In this way, you won’t have to pacify Liao in five years. I guess it will be pacified Liao in a few days.
"Is there any?" Yang Jing asked expressionlessly, thinking: If it were the original Chongzhen, he would probably be dancing and was so happy that he thought that he had obtained an invincible commander and could pacify the wild boar skin immediately, and he would probably agree to all Yuan Chonghuan's request immediately.
"I believe that the emperor, I believe that with the power of the minister, I can control the entire Liao Dynasty and make people feel insufficient. Once I go abroad, I will be thousands of miles away. How can I be jealous of my achievements and have no one? Even if I do not use power to restrain my ministers, I can also oppose the plot of rioters." Yuan Chonghuan's voice was very loud, and only his voice was floating in the whole house.
Yang Jing was speechless. What does this mean? He asked for a full-powered agent? A moment of change in his heart, could it be that he wanted to "Shangfang Sword"? Yang Jing also had the impression of Yuan Chonghuan that he still had Mao Wenlong's head with the "Shangfang Sword". What kind of thing is this?
Yang Jing did not regret Mao Wenlong, and Mao Wenlong was not a good bird. He did a lot of dirty things, which was not worth Yang Jing's regret. The headache was that once Mao Wenlong died, a nail inserted into the back of the wild boar skin would be gone. The wild boar skin would probably be celebrating and would enter the pass in a blink of an eye.
And the three "Sanshun Kings" under him will be the burialists of the Ming Dynasty in the future. This is the reason why Yang Jing was troubled and afraid of.
"Oh... continue to say." Yang Jing was speechless for a while, thinking that he was planning his own strategy and thinking that he could not let Yuan Chonghuan continue to do this, otherwise it would be definite that the wild boar skin would enter the pass next year.
"The major plan to restore territory is nothing more than... using the Liao people to defend Liao territory and use Liao territory to support Liao people; defending is the right way, fighting is the strange way... So I think it is a border minister... but there is something in danger in the middle, and I dare not refuse to sue..." Yuan Chonghuan's loyal, deep, sad, and sad sincere words were actually a little moved.
Some of the other ministers around him wiped their tears, which shows that Yuan Chonghuan's words were indeed touching.
If it were the unlucky Chongzhen, the original history, he would probably have been moved to tears and gave Yuan Chonghuan full authority. He would have implemented Yuan Chonghuan's "Five-Year Plan for Palliative Liao".
The financial situation that was originally tightened was worse, so the salary was increased again, so the salary must have been added to the civilians who were already on the verge of bankruptcy. So, the Ming Dynasty was surrounded by Li Zicheng in 1644, and then the Ming Dynasty collapsed and was over.
It is said that there are endless brain debris. The scholar-official elites of the Ming Dynasty not only killed the Ming Dynasty, but also killed themselves. After changing the boss, they realized that the new boss was not as good as they had imagined and his IQ was not very high. In order to cater to this new boss, they had to make themselves more mentally retarded.
Yang Jing thought about the historical direction of the Ming Dynasty briefly and denied Yuan Chonghuan's words in his heart. This is the strength of time travelers.
Some ministers below thought that these words should also move the emperor. The emperor might give Yuan Chonghuan the privilege, or "Shangfang Sword". Well, after the meeting, I have to find Yuan Chonghuan to have a drink to celebrate this victory.
"Yuan Aiqing, to be honest, I am very optimistic about your command and mobilization of combat capabilities. However, I have rejected your plan to pacify Liao in the past five years..."
"Your Majesty...This..." Yuan Chonghuan was very disappointed, anxious, and surprised.
"Well, after listening to me, I will reject your plan. It is not because of distrust of you, but because of the conditions. Master Sun, can you start?" Yang Jingai turned around and asked Sun Chengzong.
"Return to the emperor, I am ready." Sun Chengzong said expressionlessly. To be honest, although Sun Chengzong treats Yuan Chonghuan well and is still Yuan Chonghuan's old leader, Sun Chengzong does not support Yuan Chonghuan's five-year plan to pacify Liao.
"Okay, thank you Master Sun." After saying that, he turned to Yuan Chonghuan and said, "Yuan Aiqing, please sit opposite Master Sun..."
Yuan Chonghuan sat opposite Sun Chengzong in confusion. There was a large table in the middle, covered with silk, and I don’t know what it was.
"Big partner, let's start." Yang Jingai said to Wang Chengen.
Wang Chengen uncovered the silk covering the table.
Yuan Chonghuan, including all the ministers, exclaimed and took a breath. This was simply a smaller version of the capital and Liaodong! The mountains, rivers, Great Wall, oceans, and the cities inside and outside the pass were so clear and realistic. It made people see it at a glance.
This is the combat sand table that Yang Jing "took all his energy" to build. Yang Jing is an otaku and has read several military novels. He knew that this sand table was a good thing, so he asked someone to do it.
The advantage of being an emperor is that there are countless people serving you, and the top figures in the country serve you. So, Yang Jing, the otakus, only said a few words: everything must be true inside and outside the pass. In such a few words, the top talents in the country will make this "sand table", regardless of cost, manpower and labor. In this imperial city, there is a special agency to serve the emperor in doing this, which is the military battle.
This "sand table" is what Yang Jing specially created to "anti-deception" Yuan Chonghuan. Yang Jing was preparing to use the "sand table" to refute Yuan Chonghuan worthless.
Under the surprise gaze of everyone, Yang Jing said: "My dear friends, this is called a sand table, which is used to deduce changes in wartime. Today, this sand table will be used to replace the situation inside and outside the pass, and to deduce the future situation. Yuan Aiqing, on this sand table, you are the Minister of War and the Right Deputy Censor, in charge of the military affairs of Ji, Liao, and Deng, Lai and Tianjin. Master Sun on the opposite side will temporarily be wronged and command the war of the Later Jin. Your personnel, equipment, food, pay, terrain, etc. are based on the actual situation. After the deduction begins, you can make free decisions... Well, Yuan Aiqing, you can think for a while, and after the deduction begins, you can decide according to your words, people, power, goods, food, and wages... I and all the ministers will be the judges... Do you understand?"
The Minister of War and the Right Deputy Censor, the military affairs of Ji, Liao, and Deng, Lai and Tianjin were supervised. It was the official who was appointed Yuan Chongyuan in history, and there was also the "Shangfang Sword" to be taken. This circle ranged from the current Jiaodong Peninsula in Shandong to the municipality directly under the central government of Tianjin, and then to the northeastern Hebei, and the Liaolin coast. In short, the military affairs of the Bohai Bay were all under the jurisdiction of this official. There was only one target, which was wild boar skin.
Yuan Chonghuan was already scared and sat in a daze on the chair, unable to speak for a long time. He was just "scammering" the emperor to make the emperor happy. Unexpectedly, the emperor gave him this trick to deduce the future situation on the spot, which made him a mute and a hard time to describe the reason. He knew the reason.
Yuan Chonghuan's past "war record" was to rely on the city first, use cannons and firearms to consume wild boar skins. When the wild boar skins are tired, they will rush out for a while, or leave by themselves to win. To "pacify Liao in five years", they have to attack. If they attack, they have to fight in the field, and fight in the field with wild boar skins. Yuan Chonghuan felt that the weather was really unlucky today.
"Yuan Aiqing? Do you understand?" Yang Jing called Yuan Chonghuan again. Yuan Chonghuan suddenly woke up. This was the palace and this was the platform. He couldn't help but stare at daze. He jumped up immediately, fell to the ground and kowtowed, "I am rude, I deserve to die, I am guilty."
"Well, get up, it's okay, do you understand?" Yang Jingai asked again.
"I understand." Yuan Chonghuan replied respectfully.
The ministers were still amazed at the fact that "the Minister of War and the Right Deputy Censor, the Chief of the Ministry of War, the Chief of the Military Affairs Office of Ji, Liao, and the Chief of the Deng, Lai and Tianjin." What an errand? I am afraid that the title of "King of Liaodong" is not an exaggeration. The emperor really respects Yuan Chonghuan.
I looked at the realistic "sand table" again and felt that the emperor was really nonsense. He had nothing to do. He was either carpenters or bricklayers. The old Zhu family was full of "strange species". Is this what an emperor should do? The emperor should sit on a high dragon throne, listen to the reports of us ministers, and then make a "holy ruling", which is in line with the image of a wise ruler... I also felt that the sand table was really realistic and detailed, and even the civil officials were clear at a glance, including cities, mountains, rivers, roads, Great Wall, and sea, and there were small flags on it, which probably represented the number of troops. Hehe, with such things, we civil officials dared to go to war, and some ministers thought so in their hearts.
After finishing the preparations, Yuan Chonghuan was given some time to think and adapt. The "sand table" deduction finally began.
Yuan Chonghuan talked to Sun Chengzong.
