Chapter 4 Fight or Fight

"I came to Liaoyang and Jianzhou said that the country wants to be with North Korea. How do you view this matter?"

After receiving the report from the governor of Liaodong Li Weihan, Miyun, Xue Sancai, immediately summoned the Jizhou soldiers to prepare for Wang Donglai, Yongping soldiers to prepare for Zhou Yiqing, Ningqian soldiers to prepare for Ma Xiangde, Yuanmasiqing, Jin Fuhai Gai soldiers to prepare for Lu Qinglin and other subordinates.

According to the council system, the Governor of Ji Liao should have been restrained by the Governor Shuntian, the Governor of Baoding, and the Governor of Liaodong, but in fact, the Governor of Ji Liao could not effectively control these three members, especially the Governor of Liaodong was not ordered by the Governor. The Governor of Ji Liao did his own business and sometimes impeached each other, which led to the Governor of Ji Liao, who should have played an important role in the situation in Liaodong, as if it were useless.

Xue Sancai's predecessor, Wang Xianggan, was an official for two years. However, Liao Fu was self-disciplined in Liaodong and never went to inspect it. However, the king's predecessor Jian Da made some achievements. He was over 60 years old and personally led his troops to inspect and suppress the attacks in Liaodong, causing heavy losses to the Jurchen tribes and greatly delayed the rise of Jianzhou.

Xue Sancai was born as a Shujishi. After being promoted to Governor, he deliberately acted and eliminated the bad habit of eunuchs who were falsely tyrants and won praise from the government and the people.

However, in Liaodong affairs, Xue Sancai was somewhat obedient and unwilling to interfere too much in the Liaodong governor. To put it nicely, this move is to avoid discord between the governor and the governor, and to put it badly, it is to be unwilling to take on the matter.

The Jizhou Army Wang Donglai and Yongping Army Wang Zhou Yiqing were the governors of Shuntian, but the two officials had been working in the Governor's Office, so they could also be said to be the "direct line" of the Governor of Ji Liao.

The Ningqian army was a bit special. Although he was a governor of Liaodong, his garrison was located in Ningyuan and Qiantun north of Shanhaiguan. Therefore, in order to facilitate official business, he directly "reported" to the Governor's Office.

Lu Qinglin, the Minister of Yuanma Temple, was a "flying official". He was in charge of the Ma Zheng of Liaodong, but he also served as the military officer of several states of Jinfuhai. He was not a subordinate of the Governor General of Ji and Liao, but because his hometown was in Miyun, he was called over by the Governor's Office during the New Year.

Previously, Xue Sancai had specifically mentioned the news about Jianzhou and the country transferred from Liaoyang to several people. Xue wanted to hear the opinions of these people before making a decision on how to report to the court.

How to characterize the fact that Jianzhou is the country's national title this time is the most concerned thing for all matters, including the governor of Liaodong, and the officials of Liaodong yamen.

If it is determined to be a rebellion, a war will not be avoided. At present, there are many disasters in various parts of Liaodong, and the strength of the garrison troops has been reduced by half through the aid to Korea. It is very difficult to rush to encircle and suppress the troops, both military and logistics.

Therefore, after Nurhaci's envoy entered Liaoyang, Li Weihan agreed to Jianzhou to imitate the Korean rules and call him a vassal. However, although the Liaodong Governor had the greatest say in this matter, it would be useless if the Governor of Ji Liao disagreed.

"Governor General, although the left and right guards of Jianzhou belong to our Liaodong guard office, they have always been independent and the court has not interfered too much. Although the founding of the country was offended by our Ming Dynasty, they did not dare to openly raise an army and cause chaos. In this way, the officials thought that the peace should be the first, so that they would avoid the loss of people from Liaodong and spending money and food." The Jizhou military guard Wang Donglai was in his forties and had worked as a military officer in his early years, and he was considered a Qingliu.

"If you don't agree, Jianzhou has already claimed to be a country. Will the court really send a large army to suppress it? Southwest Bozhou has just been pacified, and the treasury is afraid that it will not be able to pay for another battle."

Yongping Bing Bei Zhou Yiqing also expressed his words to agree to Wang Donglai's opinion, believing that he could agree to the request of the envoy of Jianzhou, so that it would be good for both the country and the people.

Ningqian soldiers were not allowed to take the initiative, but Yuanmasiqing Lu Qinglin opposed Wang and Zhou Er's opinions. He was an official in charge of the Liaodong Ma Zheng and had visited various Jurchen troops in the Ma market many times, so he knew more about the strength of Jianzhou than the officials in the Guanzhong area.

"When Ningyuan Bo was there, Nurhaci had resentment against the court because of his father and ancestor's death, and he was afraid of Ningyuan Bo and did not dare to rebel. Now Ningyuan Bo has returned to the capital, and there is no tiger seizure. He has established tens of thousands of soldiers in the state, how can he not rebel? The officials thought that since Nurhaci dared to claim to be a country, he would inevitably rebel against our Ming Dynasty in the next step. He imitated the Korean law and made all excuses. His purpose was nothing more than deceiving our court and losing his vigilance."

Compared with Wang and Zhouge, Lu Qinglin is obviously a "first-war faction".

Regarding Lu Bingbai, Wang Bingbai and Zhou Bingbai must refute it, so the three of them "reasoned".

But no matter how fierce it is, the one who makes the final decision must be Xue Sancai, the governor.

The military preparations for how the Governor General determined the establishment of the state. But the official documents of the Governor General of Ji and Liao were sent to the cabinet that day. At about the same time, the official documents of the Governor General of Liaodong Li Weihan were also presented together.

The cabinet head is Fang Congzhe, who is named the secondary assistant, but in fact he is already the "unique prime minister".

Fang Congzhe himself felt helpless about his inexplicable change to become a "unique prime minister". Before the New Year, the chief assistant Ye Xianggao sent 62 memorials to request his retirement. Although the emperor still did not give up, Ye Xianggao was already sick and stopped working at home, so it was almost certain that after the holiday of the first day, the emperor would definitely agree to Ye Xianggao return home.

The Donglin Party has accepted this fact. Before that, a group of censors led by Yang Lian wanted to block Fang Congzhe's way as the prime minister by cracking down on the admiral maritime eunuch Wei Liangchen. However, by chance, a "palace gate case" broke out. Although the murderers in this case were detained in the imperial prison, the plots of Yang Lian and others were indirectly stolen.

A group of important officials of the Donglin Party followed suit and called on the government and the opposition to publicly recommend the Donglin Party member who had served as the second auxiliary, and Grand Secretary Shen Li made a comeback.

Fang Congzhe considered that he was recommended to the cabinet by Ye Xianggao, and the Zhejiang Party was not as powerful as Donglin in the court, and now he was conspiring with eunuch Wei in the southeast, so he wanted to retreat as an advance, so he reciprocate and followed the crowd and wrote a letter to ask Shen Li to enter the cabinet as the chief assistant, but the emperor refused to accept this memorial.

Another Grand Secretary Wu Daonan who entered the cabinet with Fang Congzhe was born timid and had no achievements in the police officers who came to Beijing. All officials had long stopped taking him seriously, which led to the situation where Fang Congzhe has now become a "single prime minister".

After receiving the official documents from the Governors of Liaodong and Jiliao, Fang Congzhe felt a headache. Although the Governor of Liaodong and Jiliao were in agreement, they both believed that when they agreed to Jianzhou to imitate the Korean law and pay tribute, Fang Congzhe felt that the suggestion of the two was probably not able to match the emperor.

Because the emperor was extremely greedy for money and extremely warlike.

In addition, the memorial of the Liaodong Governor Li Weihan finally impeached the admiral maritime eunuch Wei Liangchen, arbitrarily killed Guangning's garrison Shi Tingzhu, guerrilla Sun Degong, joined the army, and joined the army, and asked the court to handle the matter of justice.
