Chapter 660 There is never a successful king or a defeated bandit, only a defeated bandit becomes a king
Thanks to the Yongle period, Emperor Renzong Zhu Gaochi supervised the country for a long time as the prince. In the design of the Ming Dynasty system, all the powers to supervise the country were included. With clear and unambiguous regulations, Zhu Yijun could just dig out the old cases from the Yongle period and use them without any need for system construction.
Emperor Zhu Yijun of the Ming Dynasty, to all the people of the Ming Dynasty, he was the emperor, but to Zhu Yiliu, he was the emperor's brother.
Zhu Yiliu’s memory of his father is extremely vague. After all, he was still a child wearing crotchless pants at that time. The only person he could learn from and imitate was his imperial brother. The elder brother was like his father. Zhu Yiliu saw his father with his own eyes. My dear brother, for twelve years, I have been fighting bloody battles and working diligently to revive the Ming Dynasty.
In Zhu Yili's heart, his imperial brother is great, and the Holy Lord Mingzhu is just like this. In Zhu Yili's heart, His Majesty is the number one Holy Lord and Mingzhu in the entire Ming Dynasty, because at this time, His Majesty While still alive, Zhu Yili had only seen the emperor's brother.
The emperor's brother talks about contradictions on his left hand and class theory on his right hand. With Zhang Juzheng as his assistant and Qi Jiguang by his side, he still walks on thin ice and always carefully performs his duties as an emperor.
These cheap Confucians! Not only did they not feel grateful that the Holy King was in court, they farted all day long! Call Your Majesty a tyrant! He is the king of subjugation! He is a traitor to the country!
Zhu Yixuan cannot accept this accusation no matter what!
He didn’t know what the emperor’s brother was doing by leaving these blustering and talkative scholars, but he couldn’t bear the nonsense of these cheap scholars for a moment if he was asked to supervise the country. He allowed them to live so happily. Not accepted!
"What are you going to do? The conflict has not intensified to the point of killing people. Although their speeches are contrary to heaven, they are still part of the Wanli Reform and the Wanli Great Contemplation." Zhu Yijun was curious about what Zhu Yiliu was planning to do, kill people. If so, it's a bit too extreme.
"Brother Emperor, I don't kill people." Zhu Yili said with great certainty: "You can't do it to death, but you can make them worse than life and death. Brother Emperor, I have thought up a few ways and written them down. Brother Emperor can take a look at them."< br>
Zhu Yili flicked his sleeves and took out a memorial from his sleeves.
Zhu Yijun raised his eyebrows. After all these years, this was Zhu Yili's first memorial. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty took the memorial and looked at it. The more he read, the more frightened he became. It contained some torture methods. For example, some bells are used to apply honey to release ants, some large vats of heated water are used to take a bath, and some pig hair brushes are used to brush the armpits.
After seeing this, Lord Hell had to consider rebuilding the eighteen levels of hell.
"How can you do this? Master said to be benevolent, so let's add some sugar to honey, otherwise ants will not gather. Also, why don't you let people catch some wasps? Use Isn't Ant too childish?" Zhu Yijun admonished him righteously and helped Zhu Yili modify the torture method.
Only children use ants, adults use wasps.
Fall into the hands of King Lu, die? Too luxurious.
Zhu Yili supervises the country and must let these cheap Confucians see what the iron fist of feudal autocracy is.
"Be a little more restrained when you play, don't kill people, and then you will say that our minds are imprisoned. When we see an eel, we think it is a snake, and when we meet a rat, we think it is a tiger. Cut the righteousness and grow soft and charming. "Feng. This has a real impact on the world." Zhu Yijun still gave a serious warning.
"What if we kill someone?" Zhu Yili asked with a slight frown.
"Then you really deserve to die. Just kill him." Zhu Yijun said helplessly: "You are still young, Xiu'er, so it's not a big deal. When the time comes, we, the big brother, will just make up for it."
Zhu Yijun The authority was released to Zhu Yili. Zhu Yili was not an unreasonable person. He knew very well the emperor's purpose of keeping these people, and he also knew how much trouble would be caused after the unjust killing. Zhu Yili would know the right balance.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month of the twelfth year of Wanli, Xiong Tingbi returned to Beijing smoothly. Also returning to Beijing with Xiong Tingbi were the governor of Liaodong Yu Zhao, the Marquis of Ningyuan and the general of the Liaodong army Li Chengliang. Li Rusong went to Jizhou to pick up his father. Xiong Tingbi was picked up by You Shouli, the chief steward of the Quanchu Guild Hall.
Everyone calls him You Shouli and You Qi. As time goes by, You Qi himself has forgotten his real name, You Shouli. However, His Majesty remembers that when His Majesty went to the Quanchu Hall to have dinner, he was called Shouli.
Li Rusong rushed to Jizhou with fifty riders, waiting anxiously for his father. What came into Li Rusong's sight was not a tall horse, but a chariot. This chariot was given by His Majesty, and it contained the latest hydraulic technology. Shock absorption can greatly reduce bumps. In addition, the Chidao has been repaired to Jilin, so Li Chengliang's journey back to Beijing is not a lot of work.
"My son pays homage to his father." Li Rusong hurried forward to greet him.
"You did a good job, kid." Li Chengliang got out of the car and saw Li Rusong. He showed a relieved smile, took out a crutch from the car, hammered it on the ground and said, "Son, our family is counting on You are gone, and I am too old to fight."
Hou Yuzhao got out of the car, looked at the crutch, and said angrily: "Why are you pretending to be old? Before the Chinese New Year, I had to go to Heilongjiang to hunt blind bears. I beat a lot of blind bears. I rode on horseback for half a month before reaching Heilongjiang. I almost got lost. I encountered two big bugs and they were killed by you. Are you old? Sima Yi, right?"
Li Chengliang said angrily: "Old Zhao, don't think that because you are a scholar, I don't dare to beat you! Just curse Sima Yi and so on, it's too unpleasant! ! ”
The biggest slander and criticism against a general is that he looks like Sima Yi.
Hou Yuzhao knew that Li Chengliang was pretending, and Hou Yuzhao became a disciple of Wan Shihe. According to Wan Shihe's news, it was difficult for Li Chengliang to enter the capital this time. There is no suitable candidate, so Li Chengliang can only continue to work.
Can’t Li Rusong do it? It's really not good. It's not that Li Rusong can't fight, on the contrary, he is too good at fighting. After father and son, Liaodong became a country within a country.
“Isn’t this for the sake of the imperial court’s plan? It has been more than two years since the establishment of the Liaodong Road, and it has been unable to be implemented. Isn’t it because I am blocking the way to establish the Chief Secretary?” Li Chengliang He said angrily.
“Is this really what you want?” Hou Yuzhao sneered and said, “It’s just a personal plan.”
“We really can’t stay in Liaodong any longer, those Panyi gangs are fighting But I, they called me the King of Liao! This word reached the ears of the imperial censor. Tomorrow, I, Li Rusong, and my whole family will have to go to Caishikou. You, Zhao, will collect the body for me. ? ” Li Chengliang then told the truth, he was indeed doing it for his own personal gain.
These Northeastern Panyi, Seven Outer Khalkhas, Haixi Jurchens, and Savage Jurchens all called Li Chengliang the King of Liao. This was a heart-breaking trick. Li Chengliang had no way to deal with it, so he had to flee. Back to Beijing.
Li Chengliang must not really be the 'King of Liao' because Qi Jiguang is getting older and Li Rusong is gradually taking over the leadership of the Jingying camp. The father and son are in charge of Liaodong and the Jingying. No matter how big the emperor is, He couldn't sleep at night. He, Li Chengliang, just didn't want to be An Lushan, and the people below would force him.
It is indeed a private plan, and it is also for the imperial court's national policy.
"Anyway, I won't leave when I return to Beijing this time. I plan to go to Jiangnan with His Majesty. I, Old Li, have been fighting for half my life, and I also want to go to Jiangnan to see the great rivers and mountains." Of course Li Chengliang Knowing that it would be difficult to return to Beijing, he decided to act rogue in order to make his son progress.
"I know, I know, Lao Zhao just thinks that no one in Liaodong can control me if I leave. It seems that Liaodong can't do without me. That's not the case. Then General Yingchang Wang Rulong, as his name suggests, he is like a dragon and a tiger. When he arrives in Liaodong, he promises to be fine and at ease." Li Chengliang was very aware of Hou Yuzhao's worries.
All your hard work going down the drain?
The fields that were finally cultivated were overrun by jackals, tigers and leopards, and were once again abandoned; the trade routes that were finally opened were lost because of Li Chengliang’s departure, and people were distracted, resulting in a shortage of goods; the camps that were finally built were Because there were no strong troops to guard it, we had to give up; it was not easy to attract the refugees from Liaodong, and they were displaced again.
Hou Yuzhao is worried about many things. Since he left Beijing, he has been reclaiming wasteland in Daningwei and Liaodong. Northeast is his second hometown. He loves this black land deeply.
This is also the reason why military leaders like Li Chengliang like Hou Yuzhao. Hou Yuzhao never became an official just to be an official or to climb up, but to really do something. This is very His temper towards Li Chengliang.
Li Chengliang hates internal strife after being on the sidelines for a long time. Internal strife means internal friction, and he will have less energy to fight externally.
"Wang Rulong is indeed a suitable candidate, but he is Qi Shuai's man." Hou Yuzhao has certainly considered the candidate issue. He feels that Wang Rulong is not suitable, which is the same reason that Li Chengliang thinks that he is not suitable to continue in Liaodong. , Qi Jiguang took charge of the Beijing camp, and his generals took charge of Liaodong. The emperor could not sleep.
Li Chengliang kept tapping the crutch in his hand, and kept laughing, leaning forward and backward with laughter, making his stomach hurt. He pointed at Hou Yuzhao and said with a smile: "You, you, you , is indeed not suitable for being an official. No one dares to say anything wrong about Qi Shuai in the court. You are saying that Qi Shuai is a clique in front of so many people, haha."
"Who is who? All the people are His Majesty’s people.”
Hou Yuzhao went against the trend again. Qi Jiguang, the great general and Feng Guogong, no one in the court dared to comment, even in private discussions. Yes, because the matter is serious.
When others accuse you of rebelling, you'd better have the strength to rebel, so that no one dares to accuse you.
But Hou Yuzhao is different. Call him stupid. He can manage Liaodong in an orderly manner. Call him smart. He always goes against the grain of others. If others dare not say, cannot say, or cannot say, Hou Yuzhao He always comes with open mouth. If it weren't for His Majesty's protection, he, Hou Yu Zhao, would have gone home long ago.
"Old Zhao, Old Zhao, I'm not telling you, you always think that Wang Rulong is Qi Shuai's person, but Qi Shuai is His Majesty's person and a Ming Dynasty person." Li Chengliang pointed at Li Rusong with his crutch again Said: "This is my great eldest son, the most promising eldest son. Believe it or not, if I really raise the banner in Liaodong, he, my great eldest son, will be the first to break through with my elite soldiers." Liaoyang."
"I don't believe it," Hou Yuzhao said immediately.
"Father wants to rebel?" Li Rusong's eyes lit up, he even brought this military achievement to his door!
"If, if!" Li Chengliang raised his cane and was about to hit him. He only remembered the military merits of this damn thing, but in the end he still couldn't do it. He couldn't help his father when he grew up. Li Rusong was taught very well by Qi Jiguang. The military construction of the Ming Dynasty Jingying Camp has been done very well.
Li Chengliang took a deep breath and said: "Old Zhao, as for us, we will no longer be partners soon. Remember one sentence, there is never a winner and a loser, only a defeater becomes a king."
This is Li Chengliang’s understanding of the theory of contradiction. It seems that if you succeed, you will be the king, if you fail, you will be the bandit. It seems that this has been the case in all dynasties, but when the theory of contradiction came out, Li Chengliang discovered it. A defeated bandit becomes a king if he succeeds, and a defeated bandit becomes a bandit. The cause and effect are reversed. The thieves and bandits will definitely be defeated, and the king is destined to rule the world.
And Your Majesty is the king.
This is what Li Chengliang learned after spending half his life fighting.
"My surname is Hou! Not Zhao!" Hou Yuzhao said angrily. Li Chengliang called him Lao Zhao every day.
"Entering the capital!" Li Chengliang leaned on crutches and got on the carriage entering the capital. After changing carriages, Li Chengliang brought the elite soldiers inside the pass to wait where they were. Li Rusong was responsible for all security.
Every time Li Chengliang returns to the capital, he flaunts his power. This seems very ostentatious and hateful, but this is Li Chengliang's purpose. If a border general is liked by the courtiers, then he has ulterior motives and evil intentions.
At noon the next day, Zhu Yijun rushed to Wuying Tower in Beicheng, where he met Li Chengliang, Hou Yuzhao, who had returned to Beijing, and Xiong Tingbi, who had returned to celebrate the New Year.
"Your Majesty, I was restless in Liaodong day and night, tossing and turning. Now, while Liaodong has not yet thawed, I hurried back to Beijing. The North Korean envoy ran to Liaoyang to have a confidential interview with me. I am frightened, and I beg your majesty to let me return to the capital!" Li Chengliang knelt down when he saw him, and started wailing as soon as he knelt down, which seemed a bit exaggerated. Hou Yuzhao was so frightened that he said dullly: "Ning Yuanhou, the North Korean envoy wants to see you? How could I not know?!"
This Li Chengliang is quite good at hiding! Hou Yuzhao didn't know anything about such a big thing.
"You didn't send anyone to keep an eye on me, how did you know that?" Li Chengliang bowed again and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I kindly ask you to come back to the capital."
Hou Yu Zhaodang The governor was different from other governors. Hou Yuzhao didn't care about anything except farming and logistics. Li Chengliang didn't care who he met or what was said.
Seeing that Hou Yuzhao still looked horrified, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Governor Hou, Marquis Ningyuan didn't tell you because he wanted to protect you and took all the responsibilities on his own. Marquis Ningyuan, hurry up. Please excuse yourself and just sit down and talk.”
Li Chengliang is a hereditary martial artist, and it is very taboo for North Korean envoys to see him privately. Once involved in such a turmoil, little Hou Yuzhao will His body could not withstand such storms at all, but Li Chengliang was different. As a representative of the new martial arts, he only needed to explain clearly to His Majesty and he could pass smoothly.
Li Chengliang was protecting Hou Yuzhao and did not drag him into the water.
"Ning Yuanhou, please tell me in detail about the North Korean envoy." Zhu Yijun stretched out his hand and motioned to Li Chengliang to explain the matter clearly.
"Last year, His Majesty asked the King of North Korea to come to Beijing to apologize. The King of North Korea was unwilling, so he sent someone to make an alliance with his minister. Why did he, the noble Marquis Ningyuan, associate with such villains and capture him directly? , He is being held in Jizhou now." Li Chengliang explained the matter clearly.
When did they meet, what was said during the meeting, and how Li Chengliang responded, all were explained very clearly. It was obvious that he had memorized the manuscript.
This matter is like a stone weighing on Li Chengliang's heart. Now after telling it, Li Chengliang, who has been fighting for so many years, breathed a long sigh of relief. No one dares to say it, no one can say it. , holding back the discomfort, but even so, the stone in my heart is still hanging.
"Xiong Da, what do you think?" Zhu Yijun looked at Xiong Tingbi who was standing respectfully and asked curiously.
Xiong Tingbi frowned and said: "The North Korean envoy secretly entered the country and arrived in Liaoyang. There were no obstacles along the way. This is a dereliction of duty on the border. If he wants to pass the customs, he needs a customs clearance document and a reason. , who will let him go?"
Li Chengliang didn't say anything. Hou Yuzhao was stunned. Xiong Tingbi thought exactly as he did. Could the Ming pass be a decoration? !
"It's nothing, I know the details." Zhu Yijun looked at Xiong Tingbi and said: "North Korea used to pay tribute a year, and the border passes were loose. There were no restrictions on North Korean envoys, such as merchants, visiting relatives, visiting friends, etc. "
The Ming Dynasty cannot say that it has no defenses against North Korea, and the passes will hardly block it. Therefore, North Korean merchants have been visiting each other all year round. Although they stopped paying tribute many times last year, they did not stop it. The trade route was not cut off, so Zhu Yijun could understand the envoy's entry and was not prepared to conduct excessive inspections.
Sometimes, when the water is clear, there are no fish.
“Is there any more?” Zhu Yijun continued to ask Xiong Tingbi’s opinion.
"The other thing is...Ning Yuanhou should not see this North Korean envoy." Xiong Tingbi looked at Li Chengliang, hesitated, and then said what was in his heart.
Meeting foreign envoys privately is the behavior of a military leader. Li Chengliang is really used to being a military leader, and he dares to meet North Korean envoys.
"That's it." Zhu Yijun looked at Li Chengliang and said with a smile: "Ning Yuanhou, Xiong Tingbi means that when you meet the North Korean envoy, everything will turn into something troublesome. Knowing that the North Korean envoy has bad intentions, If you meet so easily, I'm afraid the imperial censor will find out and will impeach you again."
"But it's okay. I authorized it in the second year of Wanli. If the censor makes a fuss, I will deal with it. Ning Yuan. Don't worry about it. "
It is very taboo for Marquis Ningyuan to meet the vassal envoys, because it involves suspicion of conspiracy, especially since Li Chengliang has a heavy army, but it is not a big problem because Zhu Yijun gave special permission.
In the second year of Wanli, Li Chengliang defeated Gule Village in a snowstorm. Zhu Yijun gave Li Chengliang the power to contact North Korea in Liaodong to respond because the military situation was urgent.
The Jurchens at that time were not at all as well-behaved as they are now buried in the soil. They were good at killing Ming generals and officials, attacking Ming passes, and plundering borders. Their military situation was extremely urgent. If it was really necessary, North Korea's response indeed requires direct communication between Li Chengliang and the North Korean envoy.
Don’t be suspicious of people you hire, and don’t use people who are suspicious. Since it was originally decided to use Li Chengliang, Zhu Yijun did not impose excessive restrictions.
"I thank your Majesty for your kindness." The stone in Li Chengliang's heart fell to the ground.
Li Chengliang met North Korean envoys more than once or twice. Occasionally, he would take some bribes from North Korea. It was convenient. He had just met before and they were as close as one family. But this time, the situation has changed. , he saw that the envoy was actually beating a drum in his heart. Between seeing and not seeing him, Li Chengliang chose to see him, and after the other party explained his intention, he captured him on the spot.
"Xiong Da, you have to learn from Ning Yuanhou in doing things. You have to be more tactful and have some principles that should be respected." Zhu Yijun looked at Xiong Tingbi and said: "There are many rules to abide by, but sometimes , cannot be bound by the rules and cannot move."
"Why did Marquis Ningyuan want to see this Korean envoy? Because the main conflict in Liaodong is the conflict between Han and Yi people, which is the struggle for survival between the Han people and the Yi people who migrated to Liaodong. If Marquis Ningyuan chooses not to see the conflict over the means of production, in order to avoid disaster, the North Korean envoy will find the situation wrong and end up plotting against the barbarians."
"Just imagine, once the North Korean envoy leaves Liaoyang and goes into the mountains and forests. The Yi people are in trouble, Korea is not a minister, and the seven tribes of Jianzhou, Haixi, Barbarian Jurchen, and Outer Khalkha are united. What will be the consequences? The foundation of Ming Dynasty's rule in Liaodong may be shaken. "
This is not an alarmist statement by Zhu Yijun, because this is what Nurhachi did when he became a room full of people.
"I have not considered it." Xiong Tingbi looked at the map and briefly imagined the situation that His Majesty the Emperor said, and felt that a cold sweat broke out behind him. Xiong Tingbi was very talented in military affairs. Once the situation in Liaodong really happened, With them united, the problem becomes extremely difficult.
These barbarians who have refreshed the borders of the empire, if they really join forces, they are no match for this partial division of Liaodong's guest soldiers and guards. However, if they go to war, it will cause damage to Liaodong's fragile production.
The people had just moved to Liaodong, and the war soon spread. A family could not build a home without three years of savings, and a country could not build a country without nine years of savings. The people had no home to call home, so they either fled or returned to the pass. Nothing more.
Li Chengliang wants to meet and let North Korea know that Ming Dynasty is already very clear that North Korea has a disobedient heart. This is a deterrent. Of course, Ming Dynasty will use various means to prevent them from truly uniting.
"Ningyuan Marquis should return to Liaodong." Zhu Yijun thought for a moment. Even if there was a new situation, Zhu Yijun still felt that Li Chengliang was useful. He said with some curiosity: "I always feel that these stinky fish and rotten shrimps are really united in the Together, they are no match for Marquis Ning Yuan. I also want to know whether these Yi people have the courage to raise their flag and become enemies of the Ming Dynasty."
"Your Majesty, it is better for me to stay in the capital, Wang Rulong. Take on a big responsibility." Li Chengliang started his planned plan, acting recklessly and not returning to Liaodong, no matter what he said, he would not go back.
Hou Yuzhao is the emperor’s eyes and ears. Li Chengliang’s quarrel with Hou Yuzhao in Jizhou was the reason why he had to stay in the capital. He broke it into pieces and told Hou Yuzhao, which is equivalent to telling Hou Yuzhao. His Majesty.
Liaodong is different from Yunnan and Luzon. Liaodong is close enough to the capital that there is no need to use the enfeoffment system. Liaodong cannot become a country within a country. To leave now is to retreat bravely.
"Let's discuss this matter later." Zhu Yijun did not forcefully order Li Chengliang to go back, but talked to Li Chengliang about other things, various anecdotes about Liaodong.
The atmosphere immediately changed from serious to light. There are many interesting things in Liaodong.
Silly roe deer are really silly roe deer, usually five to eight in groups. They are not afraid of people. They don’t run away when they see people. They just look straight at them until someone starts to jump and run away. Run. If you stop chasing them, they will look back. The silly roe deer will jump into trees and fall into the river.
Liaodong Maodong stores winter food one month earlier than in Guan Nei. Preparations have already started in September. In recent years, there have been more sweet potatoes and potatoes, which has made the winter for the people much easier.
The snow in Northeast China will not melt. It is different from Guan Nei. Even if it is winter in Guan Nei, as long as it clears up, the snow will not last more than ten days and it will melt completely. However, the snow in Northeast China will start from the first one. , it keeps accumulating, making a crunching sound when you step on it, and it will snow even when the sun is out. People will take advantage of winter and do winter fishing after it snows, digging through the ice to get fish, catching hares, robes, and digging out the nests of blind bears. .
As long as you cut a hole in the ice, the fish will jump out on their own. All you need to do is pick it up with a sack. Moreover, they are all frozen fish and can be stored for one winter. Among the gifts Li Chengliang brought to Beijing There was the bear's paw that he slapped himself.
"Marquis Ningyuan will stay in the capital for the time being, and I will allow you to think about the general affairs of Liaodong." Zhu Yijun and Li Chengliang chatted for a long time before letting them leave.
Zhu Yijun built Li Chengliang a large house in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, not far from the Fengguo Duke Mansion. Li Rusong lived there on weekdays, so daily life was not a problem.
"I will retire." Li Chengliang and Hou Yuzhao stood up to say goodbye to His Majesty. This was the first time they met His Majesty. The imperial court also needed to discuss major matters in Liaodong when making decisions.
After Li Chengliang left, Zhu Yijun looked at Qi Jiguang and said, "Qi Shuai, there is something weird."
"Why do I think Ning Yuanhou did it on purpose? He is forcing North Korea to jump over the wall because of the celestial phenomena. Because of this, it is difficult for the Ming Dynasty to expand to Jilin. My southern tour is about to start in early February. He, Li Chengliang, has been transferred from Liaodong, and Wang Rulong, who is not familiar with Liaodong's military affairs, has arrived in Liaoyang. If it were me, I would think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "
"A good opportunity for the Ming Dynasty to have extremely weak military power in the north."
The emperor's southern tour was destined to take away more than half of the elite soldiers in the Beijing camp. Li Chengliang was not in Liaodong, and Wang Hua's rebels were not convinced. If we don't rebel, we will be eaten away bit by bit by Liaodong. People with ulterior motives will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble. And now North Korea is taking the lead. If we don't rebel now, when will we wait?
"Your Majesty is wise." Qi Jiguang said with great conviction: "This should be Li Chengliang's plan. The Fenwu regiment camp will be left in the Beijing camp, which is led by Li Rusong. Even if Wang Rulong is really in Liaodong After losing the battle, Li Rusong's Beijing camp could quickly rush to Liaodong for reinforcements."
"After this plan, Liaodong will be stable for fifty or sixty years."
Once and for all. The solution is naturally to build forts in every corner, but the weather is not there, and under the small glacier climate, Jilin is already the limit of the Ming Dynasty, but there are still Yi people outside Jilin, so instead of living with these Yi people In order to find the rebels, why not just lay the bait and let them jump out on their own!
His Majesty may not really have much talent for military affairs, but he has never had any problems with planning and the overall situation. Li Chengliang insisted on staying in the capital. After chatting for a while, His Majesty discovered the clues.
"Ning Yuanhou can actually say it clearly. I very much support his plan. After all, if you want to cultivate the land well, you must have peace in the border areas. Otherwise, anyone can step on the land of the people of the Ming Dynasty and rob the Ming Dynasty. Food for the people." Zhu Yijun said with some emotion.
Qi Jiguang thought for a while and said: "Why did Li Rusong make a fuss and leave as soon as he saw a civilian supervisor in the capital camp? It's not that Marquis Ningyuan doesn't believe in His Majesty, it's that he doesn't believe in the bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty. Can they? It’s not known yet, but their ability to do bad things is first-rate.”
“It will be like this if you are used to fighting alone.”
Twelve years later, Li Chengliang still has a problem with the court. He was afraid. To be precise, he didn't trust any bureaucrats in the government.
As it happens, Zhu Yijun doesn’t trust him either.
