Chapter 437: Being respectful in front and being arrogant in the back makes people laugh when thinking about it
Zhu Yijun has really made up his mind to fight against the left wing for twenty-five years. He is well prepared and will eventually achieve a result. Only then, either the Ming Dynasty will completely turn the Tatars into kings, or the Tatars will rebel against Tiangang.
The left wing of Ananda Khan is far more powerful than the Tuman Khan on the right. Even though Obituman Khan is the suzerain Khan, a suzerain who has lost the power to govern the left wing, Transkalkha, and Oara The Great Khan is really extremely weak, and the left wing nominally owns the right wing and the behemoths of Outer Khalkha, the countries in the Western Regions, and even some chieftains in Sichuan and Tibet.
Zhu Yijun expected to be lenient to the enemy because he considered that these forces would do their best to support Anta Khan, so they would fight for twenty-five years. However, he slightly miscalculated. The Tatar left wing was indeed very weak. Strong, but also quite limited, these forces chose to sit on the sidelines and provide all support except support.
The Ming Dynasty’s Jian Dao Jing Camp was inserted into the Daqing Mountains, only a hundred miles away from Jining Haizi. In the direction of Datong, the Ming Guards were once again stationed at Dongsheng Guards, and Anda Khan sent two thousand households He wanted to take back Dongshengwei, but failed.
Dongshengwei is a battleground for military strategists. If you go out from the right, you can threaten Bansheng and Guihua City. If you go out from the left, you can threaten the entire Hetao Plain. This is the key place. Jiao Chengxun, the commander-in-chief of Datong, actually There are 43,815 officers and soldiers, which was carried out by Wu Baipeng, the governor of Xuanda.
When Wang Chonggu was the governor of Xuanda, in the fifth year of Longqing's reign, he reported that there were 135,778 Datong Guards in the imperial court, and the Jin Party had eaten more than 90,000 people with empty pay! It was more than twice the actual number. This was the original Wang Chonggu, the original Jin Party.
In the first year of Wanli, Wang Chonggu, who suffered Zhang Juzheng’s iron fist, returned to Xuanda to block the holes in the Xuanda Great Wall. These 130,000 guardsmen were released and converted to civilians due to their escape, escape, battle damage, injuries, and injuries. , purges, etc., the number was reduced to 54,321. By the second year of Wanli, the Jin Party was still eating the free wages of more than 10,000 people.
During the whole process, the Ming Dynasty's frontier troops did not actually decrease. Only the empty pay shrank. Zhu Yijun finally chose to turn a blind eye and forget about the past. After the first year of Wanli, Wang Chonggu chose He gave up and got a lot of things done solidly, and with Wang Chonggu's fig leaf, it made sense.
The reduction in free pay is mainly due to the return of civilians. The Nine-Border Army of the Ming Dynasty garrisoned the system. Each military household only had one person to serve. However, due to the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars, the soldiers were fierce. At the critical moment of the war, each military household in Datong Xuanfu gave birth to two or three people. These were the strong men who were recruited, and it was a helpless move at the time. Since peace was negotiated, they could be released and converted to civilians.
In addition, the elimination of old, weak, sick, and disabled people, etc., will further reduce the space and salary.
After Zhang Siwei's head fell, Wu Baipeng became the governor of Xuanda University as the Zhejiang Party. He finally conducted an actual investigation and finally identified 43,815 people and determined the quota. What is more interesting is that Wu Baipeng also used The number of seats was reduced in the name of Qing Dynasty, and everyone was able to live up to their reputation. They did not poke holes in the window paper of the Jin Party's empty pay, and did not put this matter on the scale.
Reintroduction, elimination, etc. are all fig leaves.
The main reason why Zhu Yijun knew that the Jin party was getting free money and didn’t care too much was that the Jin party didn’t actually get much from it, because at that time, the Ming Dynasty was really poor and the capital was responsible for the budget. It could only be done for three months, and Daming Bianfang was in a state of long-term salary arrears.
Rather than saying that the Jin Party was taking advantage of the money, it can also be said that the Jin Party was leading Xuanda's border generals and soldiers to compete with the imperial court for wages.
This is the contradiction. The Jin Party can control the Xuan Wei Army because the Xuan Wei Army has its own interests and needs to rely on the Jin Party to realize them. This is a vicious circle, and the court cannot give full pay. , the Jin Party had to increase the number of people to obtain military pay, and the court could not provide full pay, and the number of people without pay would increase, and finally formed a deadlock that could not be solved without losing one's head.
Wu Baipeng is not a fairy with three heads and six arms. He can squeeze out the water from empty wages. The biggest reason is that the imperial court now pays full wages!
This is an unclear account. Who is right and who is wrong? During the long period of handling government affairs, Zhu Yijun discovered that there was no right or wrong in many things.
Wu Baipeng and Jiao Chengxun knew that their 50,000 men could not defeat Anda Khan, so after the attack began, they built three lines of defense around the Great Wall defense line. The outer six fort defense lines with Dongshengwei as the key, The Great Wall defense line with Datong Right Guard as the key, and the Inner Five Forts defense line with Gaoshan Guard as the key.
In response to Li Rusong's attack, Anda Khan only invested 10,000 troops in order to block the offensive pace of the Daming Jingying camp. In the direction of Datong, especially Dongshengwei, 20,000 troops were invested Team.
Anda Khan's strategic ideas coincided with Dong Hu's. Qi Jiguang's elite troops in the capital really couldn't defeat him head-on. But if they couldn't defeat Qi Jiguang, they couldn't defeat your Xuanfu Datong guards! Therefore, we concentrated our superior forces to break through the Great Wall, advance to Datong Prefecture, and force the Ming army to withdraw.
Wu Baipeng and Jiao Chengxun knew their strength well, so they did not attack, but defended.
Zhu Yijun didn't quite understand the situation, so he sent someone to Xuanwu Hall to offer wine to Ma Fang to clear up his doubts.
"I see your Majesty, your Majesty greets you with peace." As soon as Ma Fang saw that His Majesty was beaming with joy, he knew that there was another good news ahead.
"No courtesy." Zhu Yijun handed the good news in his hand to Ma Fang, the sacrificial wine of Jiangwu Hall.
Ma Fang took out his reading glasses and looked at them for a long time. He showed a smile and said: "Your Majesty, the frontier army is not strong in combat and cannot attack. However, the defense is still very organized. Dongshengwei seems to be crumbling. , but in the face of the attack of two ten thousand troops, we still held on."
"After holding on this time, it will be impossible for Anda Khan to take down Dongshengwei again. Things on the battlefield. It sounds extremely complicated, but it sounds simple, but in fact it is just a matter of one go, and then it will fail, and it will be exhausted in three attempts. Anda Khan failed to win it the first time, and if he wants to win it again, his military morale is not available, and it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky. "
Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "The frontier army is not strong in combat effectiveness, but they don't get much pay. An army soldier in the Beijing camp earns eighteen taels of silver a year. The border army has less than 12 taels. Each soldier in the Beijing camp has armaments. The average is twenty-four taels of silver, and the frontier troops have less than four taels, so they can do as much work as they want. "
Zhu Yijun's requirement for the frontier troops is to hold on, rather than go out to fight. The border troops only had so little food and pay.
Zhu Yijun looked at Ma Fang, frowning and asked: "General Ma, I am a little confused, why do we need to build three lines of defense in the direction of Datong? The soldiers of the Sixth Fort outside the Dongsheng Guard are fighting. If you know there is a line of defense behind you, you will lose your determination to defend yourself. Once you lose, you will immediately retreat to the next line of defense. ”
"That's what I thought, but now that the Sixth Fort of Dongsheng Guard has been defended, I am even more confused as to why."
Zhu Yijun expressed his doubts and deployed three lines of defense inside and outside the Great Wall. , does it really make sense? But it seems to work extremely well.
Ma Fang glanced at His Majesty. The bad news is that His Majesty really has no war talent. The good news is that His Majesty never orders people to fight!
It is very simple to answer this question.
"Your Majesty, only a strong army can break the boat. With the current strength of the Beijing camp, we can march directly from Xuanfu and attack Bansheng. There is an 80% chance that we can directly win Bansheng." Ma Fang answered first A question arises, why should we build three lines of defense.
The frontier army is not a Beijing camp, nor is it an elite force. The tactics of breaking the cauldron, sinking boats, and raiding thousands of miles are unique to the use of troops by strong armies and generals, and are not applicable to the frontier army.
Ma Fang further explained: "Your Majesty, the border army is quite complex, filled with criminals, refugees, and bankrupts. It can be suppressed under the constraints of military discipline at ordinary times. Once the situation gets out of control, the destructive power released will be It is extremely shocking. Hu and Han people live together on the three sides of Xuanda Hetao and Shaanxi and Gansu. If there is no defense line behind them and no support, they will not have the heart to fight and defend. Because there is no way to retreat, morale will be low. They will mutiny and break up the camp, or even flee at the sight of the enemy. "In the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, when Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty succeeded to the throne in a hurry, the Jin people could only reluctantly build a line of defense along the Yangtze River and Huaihe River. , after Du Chong surrendered to the enemy, the entire defense line collapsed completely, and the Jin people broke through Lin'an, Hangzhou, and searched the mountains and seas to capture Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty."
Ma Fang analyzed it for your majesty based on specific battle examples. It was built in the early Southern Song Dynasty. During the war between Shanjianhai and Zhao Gou, the Southern Song Dynasty, which had only one line of defense, and the Song army on the entire defense line, the final choice was not to burn their boats, but to surrender and flee.
Ma Fang continued: "There are three lines of defense in the direction of Datong, the outer six forts, the Great Wall, and the inner five forts. The first thing Governor Wu and General Jiao must ensure is that they are defeated but not defeated. They think about defeat before winning, and they are already invincible. It’s a place of defeat.”
Failed but not defeated, what a luxurious idea. Ma Fang fled from the north in the 19th year of Jiajing and fought for the Ming Dynasty for so many years. In the past few years, Wanli is the only period where he can do it. So that he can spend his free time thinking about defeat before winning. He is old and no longer has the energy of a young man.
The current military merit system of the Ming Dynasty is a battle line system rather than a head reward system. This is why Wu Baipeng dares to think about the arrangement in this way. As long as he can ensure defeat without collapse and stabilize the front line, the task will be completed. Anda Khan He was about to face the threat of Qi Jiguang's sharp knife piercing his heart.
"That's it, General Xie Ma cleared up the doubts." All the doubts in Zhu Yijun's mind were solved.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Ma Fang has now gone to the Jiangwu Academy to retire. He should stay away from the disputes in the court, but after thinking about it, he still wanted to say a few words for Qi Jiguang.
Nine years have passed. It has been nine years since the Beijing camp was established. Ma Fang and Qi Jiguang have been partners for eight years. Qi Jiguang and Li Rusong are greedy for life and afraid of death? Are the characters who emerge from the mountain of corpses and sea of blood afraid of death?
"General Ma, what advice do you have?" Zhu Yijun attached great importance to Ma Fang's opinion. His experience was a precious asset of the Ming Dynasty. He could no longer lift a sword on the battlefield, but his experience was It can ensure that no fundamental errors will occur in the temple calculation.
Ma Fang said solemnly: "I recently heard in the martial arts lecture hall that some people said that Qi Jiguang was timid and afraid of trouble, and Li Rusong was greedy for life and afraid of death. Your Majesty, this kind of rhetoric makes it more or less painful to speak while standing. "
"Indeed, Qi Shuai led the elite troops to march to Bansheng at this time, and he had an 80% chance of winning directly. But what about the remaining 20% if he lost, and there would be no camps available in the grasslands along the way? , The army was defeated like a mountain, and all the elites were lost. That would be a huge disaster."
"Qi Shuai is not timid. He holds the saber given by His Majesty, kills first and then reports, and goes to the fortress to lead the battle in an expedient manner. The greater the responsibility, the greater the responsibility. Qi Shuai has many things to consider, so he takes care of everything step by step.”
"There is no second Yu Qian or Shaobao in the Ming Dynasty."
Yu Qian has military talents, but Zhang Juzheng does not. If Qi Jiguang really buries the Beijing camp outside the Great Wall, how much trouble will be caused in the Ming Dynasty.
Ma Fang had heard about the public opinion in the DPRK and was a little worried. The number of people mobilized by the Ming Dynasty this time was too large. Can the Ming Dynasty's finances really support such a large-scale war? ? Ma Fang was really used to the hard life, so she naturally had this worry. She was worried that under the influence of actuarial calculation, the Ming Emperor would make a choice that was not conducive to the war situation.
When Zhu Yijun heard Ma Fang's advice, he smiled brightly and said to Ma Fang: "Haha, General Ma is worrying too much. It's not that I look down on these cheap scholars. When Qi Shuai was in the capital, They were so silent that they didn't even dare to mention it. Now that Qi Shuai is leading the troops, they finally have the courage to be respectful at first and then arrogant at the same time. It's funny to think about it."
"General Ma. Believe it or not, when Qi Shuai returns to the capital in triumph, they will immediately shut up and even praise him."
Huang Gongzi of the Qi family of the Huang family in Penglai has caused so many troubles in the capital, and there is no one in the capital. Dare to say, now that Qi Shuai is away with his troops and not at home, the humble Confucians have started to make people laugh.
When Ma Fang heard this, he put down his worries. Good news, His Majesty only laughed at the tricks of cheap Confucians.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Yuan Fu and Wang Cifu were quarreling in front of the imperial study room, asking for an audience." A little Huangmen trembled as he spoke. Zhang Juzheng and Wang Chonggu were the first and second assistants of the empire. These two people were quarreling. Get up, isn't the Ming Dynasty going to shake the earth?
When the fight was at its fiercest, Zhang Juzheng and Wang Chonggu had never had such a fierce quarrel.
"Who?! Xuan." Zhu Yijun's face froze. The conflict between Jin Party and Zhang Party was far from intensified to the point where the party leaders were tearing each other apart and swearing at each other.
"I pay homage to Your Majesty." Zhang Juzheng and Wang Chonggu bowed their heads to pay homage. "Without courtesy, you two sit down to talk. What happened to make the two ministers so angry?" Zhu Yijun looked at the two people who were still angry and asked strangely.
It was so noisy that my face turned red.
"It is true that Yuan Fu has contributed to the development of the country. Yuan Fu said that I was a traitor, and I admitted it. I was a traitor in the first place. However, there is something wrong with what Yuan Fu said about Chen's "The world is trapped in annexation and bailing out gangsters" , and there is a big problem, I can’t agree!" Wang Chonggu waved his sleeves and said in a loud voice.
After Wang Chonggu returned to the capital from Xuanda to serve as the Minister of Punishment, he has been trying his best to avoid conflicts with Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng is tough and I can't afford to offend him.
But today Zhang Juzheng called Wang Chonggu to Wenyuan Pavilion and said that there was a problem with his work-for-relief settlement of gangsters, and he refused to accept it!
You Zhang Juzheng have the way to make your name go down in history, don’t I, Wang Chonggu, deserve it!
Placing gangsters and building gangs in government and factories is Wang Chonggu’s journey. The first time Zhang Juzheng opened his mouth, there was something wrong with your route. Wang Chonggu didn’t lift the table because he was afraid of Zhang Juzheng’s authority. He just slapped the table and quarreled. That’s all.
"If there is a problem, there is a problem. Did I say something wrong? If I didn't say it wrong, how could something like this happen! I came to you just to discuss it. It would be better for you to just bang the table in Wenyuan Pavilion , If you insist on moving in front of His Majesty, I won't be able to cover you up!" Zhang Juzheng took out two memorials and handed them to Zhang Hong, who forwarded them to His Majesty.
"Then let your majesty comment!" Wang Chonggu said loudly.
It can be seen that Zhang Juzheng is really angry, and Wang Chonggu is also very aggressive, refusing to make any concessions.
You, Zhang Juzheng, are allowed to be loyal to the emperor and the country for the country and the people, but you are not allowed to allow him, Wang Chonggu, to make any contribution to the greatness of the Ming Dynasty again?
Feng Bao hurriedly came from outside. He had just been on duty at the Ceremony Supervisor in the other half of the room. He heard that Yuan Fu and Ci Fu were arguing, so he hurried over.
The purpose of coming here was not to break up the fight, and he couldn’t do it either. He came here just to watch the fun!
After reading the memorial, Zhu Yijun looked solemnly and looked at the two angry people, confirming his thoughts again. Wan Shi and such a peacemaker and a muddy master are very necessary in the court. There is such a person who can break up a fight.
"Sir, please don't worry. When Yang Bo and Yang Dazai disagreed with your husband's examination method, your husband punched Yang Dazai and kicked Wang Cifu, and drove both Dazai and Cifu out of the Wenhua Palace." Zhu Yijun When he talked about the past, he seemed to be trying to persuade Zhang Juzheng not to be angry, but he was also speaking for Wang Chonggu.
Yang Bo did not agree with the test method, and did not agree to put a halter on hundreds of officials. The purpose was to win over Zhang Juzheng, and then Chu and Jin merged. The test method offended the bureaucrats all over the world. No one dares to violate it while you are alive. You will definitely be reckoned with after your death.
Yang Bo's conditions are not unreasonable. With Zhang Juzheng's skills, Zhang Juzheng promised at that time that the Jin Party would be completely controlled by Zhang Juzheng.
At this point, Zhang Juzheng drove Yang Bo and Wang Chonggu out of the court.
When his journey to the great road was questioned, Wang Chonggu's reaction was already excellent.
Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu again, thought for a moment and said: "I have always known that Wang Cifu is loyal to the emperor and the country, so why should he be so worried? In the process of development, contradictions are one after another. When one contradiction is solved, another contradiction will appear. "There is no problem in placing the gangsters, but there are some flaws, which is normal."
"Wang Cifu misunderstood Mr. Cifu. The reason why Mr. Cifu was called to Wenyuan Pavilion was to check for mistakes and make up for them, not to humiliate him. It is not for the sake of party struggle. If it is really for the sake of party struggle, why bother to communicate in advance and put it into discussion during the Wenhua Palace meeting? The second assistant will definitely lose his face."
"In the two Song Dynasties, the coal industry was exclusive. At that time, a pound of coal in Kaifeng was worth 200 yuan, and my husband also wanted to find out the leaks and fill in the gaps for the second assistant.” problem.
Zhang Juzheng did not speak, which was regarded as acquiescence. In fact, Zhang Juzheng had no intention of checking for omissions and filling them. He just wanted to beat Wang Chonggu. The Ming army was fighting on the grassland. The Jin party should be honest and do not cause trouble. If the Ming army was because of some people in the Jin party, If "someone in China" is defeated, the Ming Emperor's guillotine will also hit Wang Chonggu.
He did not explain clearly because His Majesty has stepped forward to be the peacemaker to give the Emperor face. If Zhang Juzheng continues to beat him, he will not give His Majesty face.
Wang Chonggu insisted on arguing with Zhang Juzheng all the way to the imperial court, just to give himself a way out. As the leader of the Jin Party, you can't just knock Zhang Juzheng whenever he says. Doesn't Wang Chonggu lose face? If you make trouble in front of His Majesty, you can come to the stage.
How old are we? They still quarreled until they were red in the face, even in front of His Majesty, but they are just movie stars.
Zhu Yijun looked at the two ministers and understood that their quarrel was the performance of the best actor. Zhu Yijun opened his mouth to persuade him to make peace, and the scene came to an end. He picked up the memorial and read it in detail. .
The Ming Dynasty official factory group created a problem. As Zhu Yijun said, the two Song dynasties were very good at making money. They specialized in salt, iron, coal, wine, alum and other items, and then these special items became a cutter. A sharp knife for the common people, the Song Dynasty's four million Xiang army (composed of thieves and refugees) had a great relationship with the imperial court's excessive demands.
The Ming Dynasty's official factory organization had just begun, and problems had already appeared. These two memorials corresponded to two problems, rigidity and bloat, and these two problems led to an inevitable problem, corruption.
Rigidity, the Ming Dynasty’s official factory organization has become rigid to varying degrees. The specific manifestations are as follows: even the Fujian Weaving Bureau of the Ming Dynasty suffered losses. An industry as hugely profitable as silk can also suffer losses, which naturally caused The suspicions of the Ministry of Industry and the Metropolitan Procuratorate triggered an inspection. Without the tasks of the Ministry of Industry, the entire Fujian Weaving Bureau was in a state of waiting for production, but the remuneration of the weavers was still being issued in the accounts.
However, the investigation by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Industry found that this was not the case at all. The labor remuneration approved in the accounts did not reach the hands of the weaver mother, and someone was embezzling money. It was not that the weaving bureau that was waiting for production was not weaving. But when work is started, where do these woven silks go?
Bloanness is a phenomenon similar to empty wages. Songjiang Shipyard, the representative official shipyard of Ming Dynasty’s pioneer and official shipbuilding group, started an inspection this spring, and Shen Shixing discovered , a total of 124 boat ponds, varying degrees of vacancies have occurred. Some people have been absent from work for one to three years due to illness, supporting elderly and sick parents, traveling, etc. Most of the management are agents, meeting managers, bosses, etc.
Moreover, for a boat pond, there are more than 100 managers out of 400 craftsmen. These more than 100 people only earn money and do not work, and the management staff is too large, which is inevitable with empty wages. connect.
In Songjiang Shipyard alone, there are more than 452 people receiving salary from the imperial court, and they are not on duty all year round; there are more than 1,000 people, and they are on duty for no more than one month a year.
There is a clear chain of interests here that was identified by Shen Shixing, that is, these empty wages, in addition to the person who ate the empty wages, some also fell into the hands of the government officials and factory officials who managed them. This is This is also the fundamental reason why officials, factories, and office workers turn a blind eye.
There is no simple person who can climb to the top and sit for several years. Shen Shixing can get to the bottom of the phenomenon of declining production capacity and increasing costs, and also provides a A complete set of solutions, streamlining the organizational structure, building a supervisory mechanism, and most importantly, punishment.
As long as he gets the emperor's approval, Shen Shixing can take drastic measures against these moths.
"I think these measures proposed by Governor Shen are still effective. They are rigid and bloated. The problem cannot be solved by simply changing the general office. We must start with system construction, and the blade must be inward." Zhu Yijun Zhu criticized I received the memorial from Shen Shixing and sealed it.
On the issue of the quarrel between the first and second assistants, Zhu Yijun did not fight each other, but still chose to support Zhang Juzheng. Of course, Wang Chonggu made such a fuss, which was not a loss. The emperor admonished his ministers, which was only natural and justified, through means that were close to nonsense. , testing out the emperor's true attitude.
If there are no problems on the way to development, then it’s a heck of a lot. That’s the big problem that’s surging under the surface. Don’t be afraid of problems, just be afraid of problems. Instead of solving problems, you’ll avoid, dodge, and make big things smaller. If trivial matters are reduced to nothing, these minor illnesses will eventually accumulate little by little and become a big problem. In the end, the building that was finally built will collapse.
Zhu Yijun had a brief discussion with Zhang Juzheng and Wang Chonggu and agreed to hold a meeting tomorrow.
"I will retire." Zhang Juzheng, Wang Chonggu and Ma Fang chose to leave the imperial study.
After leaving the door, Ma Fang ignored the two of them. He cupped his hands and left directly. The two people who were arguing to the death just now were no longer at war with each other.
"Wang Cifu is really a good trick. Your Majesty has already understood it. I still remind Wang Cifu to be optimistic about his own people. If anyone cooperates with An Dahan, the bone prying knife outside the Meridian Gate is quite sharp. ." Zhang Juzheng held his right hand and put his left hand behind his back, looking at Wang Chonggu and said in a bad tone.
"This is also due to Yuan Fu's good cooperation. Your Majesty can see clearly. Xie Yuanfu reminded me that I naturally take good care of my own people. You know that Your Majesty will kill people, but there are some things in this world, such as Death is much more terrifying, and asking Your Majesty to take action will only lead to death, but this sect is not as simple as death." Wang Chonggu said quite calmly.
"That's good." Zhang Juzheng nodded, fully recognizing Wang Chonggu's methods.
If Wang Chonggu takes action, he will squeeze everything out of the other party and at the same time make the other party owe a lot of debt. In order to repay the debt, the female family members will be used as prostitutes and the male men as slaves. Those evil leaders will probably be imprisoned together. Starved to death.
Zhang Juzheng heard that Wang Chonggu punished traitors when he was young. Dozens of people were imprisoned together. After eighteen days, when the door was opened, only one living creature was left. It was extremely hungry and the others had food. That time, Wang Chonggu His eldest son Wang Yi was killed as a merchant traveling outside the Great Wall, and the one who betrayed Wang Chonggu was the Northern Captives who surrendered.
The Northern captives who surrendered were not subject to amnesty. They were all low-ranking people. If the low-ranking people died, no one would care about them.
“Yuanfu, we advocated peace at the beginning, but Longqing negotiated peace with Yuanfu, Gao Gong, Yang Bo and me. We did it together, and now they are fighting again. Will anyone take the opportunity to cause trouble? Wang Chonggu asked in a low voice.
Zhang Juzheng said calmly: "I said it when we negotiated peace: The purpose of negotiating peace is to recharge our batteries and fight again. If we start fighting today, isn't it the same as what we promised at the beginning?"
< br>"Sir is really a scholar!" Wang Chonggu was amazed!
Recuperate your energy and accumulate strength for the future. At that time, you could no longer fight and had to negotiate a peace. This is nonsense!
But as things turned out, the lies came true. Zhang Juzheng was really a scholar, and he was so magnanimous even when he told lies!
“That’s what I wanted to say, and that’s what I did.” Zhang Juzheng turned and left. Wenyuan Pavilion still had many floating notes to write.
(End of this chapter)
