Chapter 93: Ye Xianggao goes for a decisive battle
Zhu Youxiao decided to throw him away, directly express his attitude, and force Zhang Heming to get out of shamelessness.
"Since the crowd was in a raging mood, I summoned Zhang Heming back to Beijing and retreated to court." Zhu Youxiao stood up and left with his sleeves.
Ye Xianggao sighed in his heart and bowed with all the ministers to see the emperor leave.
Zhang Heming was still crawling towards Shanhaiguan as a turtle, but Zhu Youxiao was already impatient and got out of here and wasted the travel expenses of the court.
Although I knew that those censors didn’t have many good things, I took advantage of them and let them jump around for a few days first.
……………………
Ye Xianggao returned to his office, laying paper and picking up a pen, and began to write a memorial for retirement and return home.
The emperor's intention to dismiss Zhang Heming was decided, and the matter started with Wang Huazhen. As Wang Huazhen's master, he also favored Wang Huazhen in the "State of Practice Disaster". Could he be out of the matter?
This is almost the tradition of a civil servant who is self-reliant. If there is any impeachment involving oneself, one will probably submit a memorial first.
First, it is to test the emperor's attitude. If you express condolences and retain them, impeachment will most likely be suppressed; second, it is to express that you are not interested in power, have a strong and noble character.
Ye Xianggao had a premonition that the emperor would definitely approve this memorial. If he could give some honors, he would be considered as the emperor's grace when he returned home by taking the post station.
But Ye Xianggao didn't hesitate much. First, he was old and second, the first assistant to the plywood was really hard to do, and finally Wang Huazhen, who was also responsible for this.
As the memorial was written, a slightly rushing knock came from outside. Ye Xianggao frowned, put away the memorial, and spoke in.
The person who came in was Zhao Nanxing, the Minister of Personnel, frowned and looked very anxious. Before Ye Xianggao could speak, Zhao Nanxing said, "George, can you tell that Li Sancai was arrested by the East Factory?"
Ye Xianggao was stunned for a moment and said, "Mengbai, where did you know and when did it happen, is it true?"
Zhao Nanxing nodded vigorously and said, "Last night, the East Factory was escorted to Beijing, and is now imprisoned in the Fufu Department."
Ye Xianggao thought to himself and knew that this matter was very small.
If it were just Dongchang and Jinyiwei to handle the case, it would be nothing. After all, they had that power. But if there was someone behind the command, who could differentiate Dongchang and Jinyiwei, besides the emperor, who else could be there?
After pondering for a while, Ye Xianggao asked, "Do you know what the charge is?"
"I don't know this." Zhao Nanxing shook his head, sat in the chair, and said in a deep voice: "I should submit a memorial to defend him."
Ye Xianggao looked at Zhao Nanxing thoughtfully and said, "I don't even know the charges, how to defend myself? Mengbai, please be calm and wait a little longer before talking!"
"It was because I didn't even have the charges that I was arrested and was imprisoned, and I wanted to submit a memorial." Zhao Nanxing looked at Ye Xianggao strangely and said, "Old Master Ye, Is it appropriate to arrest the Tiqi and not leave the Ministry of Justice?"
Ye Xianggao said: "Dongchang, the Pacification Department can be investigated and spyed, and has the right to detect, arrest and interrogate criminals. Why is Meng Bai inappropriate? Why is Li Sancai still not sure why he is imprisoned? How can you defend him? Let's wait and wait until the news becomes more accurate and then make a claim."
Zhao Nanxing blinked his eyes, was not convinced, and bowed his hand and said, "The Master Ge is right, I will think about it again when I go back."
Ye Xianggao was waiting for Zhao Nanxing to walk to the door, and couldn't help but remind him: "Mengbai, you must not connect with each other, and you must not submit a chapter of the extreme argument."
Zhao Nanxing didn't know if it was "um" or "hum", and without looking back, he walked out.
Ye Xianggao looked at Zhao Nanxing's back and shook his head helplessly, knowing that he was dissatisfied with him. Moreover, he probably had discussed with other officials before coming, but he was here to see his attitude.
Back at the table, Ye Xianggao took out his begging to make a comment. He hesitated for a moment, sighed helplessly, picked up his pen and continued to write.
The emperor kept silent, but made many big moves. These civil servants were still in their dreams, not knowing that the great change had come. It was ridiculous, pityful, and hateful!
Ye Xianggao was distracted and paused, and the ink on the tip of his pen dripped onto the paper. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, kneaded the melody into a ball of paper, changed the paper and wrote again.
…………………………………
The smoke and dust cover the sun, the artillery fire roars, the shouts of killing shock the sky, and the battle and bloody battle have reached a white-hot level.
The Later Jin army lined out of the camp after dawn. After a little adjustment, they began to attack Guangning City.
Xiong Tingbi sent generals to defend the country in sections and resisted tenaciously. He sat in Dongcheng and directly commanded the battle against Nurhaci's banner.
By this time, everyone knows that if you fight to the death, all conspiracies will be useless.
Taking advantage of the fact that the frozen "Plum Blossom Pile" arranged under the city was not destroyed by Jiannu, the new recruits took turns to the city to resist the battle. The battle was not fierce at this time, and it was a chance for them to see and exercise.
Of course, the new recruits fought in the city for a short time, and most of the defense was still borne by the veterans.
Even so, casualties of new recruits are inevitable.
Jiannu's arrows were so dense that they were too dense. The hanging cards on the city had become stingers, and from time to time, defenders were shot because of their inconvenient protection.
But Jiannu was not feeling well. The Fran machine cannons and tiger squat cannons in the city kept firing over, and hundreds of lead balls and shot puts from time to time also kept causing them casualties.
Both sides were playing their strengths. Jiannu had high shooting skills and Ming army's artillery was strong. They launched each other's shooting distances to engage in a long-range competition.
Under the cover of bows and arrows, Jiannu pushed the shield cart to approach the city wall, hit the cart, chopped it with an axe, and cleared the disgusting obstacles.
The confrontation may seem fierce, but it is a preparation before the siege. Once the obstacles under the city wall are cleared, the watchtower, tower ladder, and even cloud ladders will rush over and siege fiercely.
The sound of drums sounded, and the exhausted Jiannu archers retreated, and another group rushed forward to replace them, shooting at the bow.
Wow! An arrow shot from the top of the city, as fast as a meteor, hitting the face of a Jiannu officer, and he screamed and fell backwards.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Several more arrows shot in succession, and the arrows were shot down, knocking down several Jiannu.
"Shield, raise it high!" Officer Jiannu shouted loudly, already knowing that it was the Ming army's sharpshooter who was sniping.
There is no way to do this. The Ming army's sharpshooter was condescending and could hide behind the battlements and shoot through the shooting hole.
It is obviously too difficult for the Jiannu archer under the city to shoot the arrow through the shooting hole and then hit the Ming army behind.
Direct shooting, how much strength does it have, how strong is the bow? This requires consideration of the parabola principle and the diagonal throwing formula - it's so hard!
Hehehe, Ma Chengfei in the city grinned and showed two front teeth, raised an eyebrow at Ma Wu behind the marquee next to him, "Okay, brother, although Zhao is still a little short of that."
Ma Wu rolled his eyes, lit his bow and arrow without saying a word, flashed and moved, and shot an arrow through the shooting hole.
Chapter completed!
