Chapter 1539: Five Years Ping Liao
The latest website: Ah, Yuandudu is here. Shen Long is a little interested in this controversial historical figure, so he ordered Yuan Chonghuan to enter the palace, hoping to hear his views on the Liaodong War.
Yuan Chonghuan was overjoyed at the inn, and felt that his chance to recover had come, so he immediately packed up and prepared to go to the palace to play the right match. His friend Xu Yuqing asked during the incident, "Yu Yuan knows why His Majesty called you?"
"It must be asking about Liao affairs." Yuan Chonghuan seemed full of confidence. He had supervised Liaodong before and won the Ningyuan and Ningjin victories. If the new emperor ascends the throne, if he wants to make a difference in Liao affairs, he must use himself.
Xu Yuqing nodded slightly, feeling a little jealous in his heart. It was also because he offended Wei Zhongxian that he was dismissed from office and returned home. Yuan Chonghuan saw the hope of being re-used, but he hadn't found one yet, so he asked again, "How should Elements deal with it?"
Yuan Chonghuan gently stroked his long beard with his left hand, and stretched out five fingers with his right hand, "If your majesty asks, I will promise to flatten the Liao Dynasty for five years, so that I will be able to supervise Liaodong again!"
"Ping Liao in five years!" Xu Yuqing was taken aback by Yuan Chonghuan's words. Although you have fought the Ningjin Great Victory and the Ningyuan Great Victory, the gains in those two battles were far inferior to the bloody battle of Hunhe River, and Jianlu's muscles were not hurt at all. , where do you get the confidence to flatten Liao in five years? Xu Yuqing couldn't help but ask again, "Dare to ask what the element's strategy is?"
Yuan Chonghuan shook his head slowly, "It's just words to comfort His Majesty." He has a good relationship with Xu Yuqing, so he dared to speak the truth in front of him.
Xu Yuqing was frightened by him, "Your Majesty is wise, how can you deal with it casually. In the future, you will pursue results according to the deadline, what should you do?"
Hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan also felt that he had gone too far, so he quickly added, "It is certainly not easy to flatten the Liao Dynasty in five years, but if His Majesty is willing to delegate power to me, within five years, the Ministry of Households will transfer military salaries, the Ministry of Industry will supply equipment, and the Ministry of Officials will In order to employ people, the Ministry of War deploys troops and selects generals, the court must cooperate with internal and external affairs in order to be successful."
Yuan Chonghuan has already thought of a way to excuse himself, yes, I said that the five-year Ping Liao is true, but the court must fully cooperate with me, as long as it is related to Liaodong, I have the final say, so that it can be resolved Jianlu, if that department didn't do it, then I can't blame me for the five-year delay in the Ping-Liao plan.
He thought that Zhu Youjian in the original history was so easy to fool, he was so excited when he heard the words "Five Years of Pingliao", he agreed to all the conditions of Yuan Chonghuan without hesitation, and he could not get off Yuan Chonghuan in the air, so he could only force him I went to Liaodong on the scalp, and it turned out that let alone Ping Liao in five years, Jianlu hit the capital in the second year.
Yuan Chonghuan's words not only harmed himself, but also led to Ling Chi's death.
It also harmed Daming, causing Daming to lose countless money and soldiers, but fattened a lot of Liaoxi warlords and corrupt officials.
After hearing this, Xu Yuqing also felt that the emperor could not agree to his conditions, so she felt relieved, "I wish Brother Yuan Yuan all the best and return to Liaodong as soon as possible."
"Thank you, Gongshi. Your Majesty is still waiting in the palace, and we will talk about it when I come back." Yuan Chonghuan followed the servants into the palace with full confidence, and came to Shen Long.
This time, Shen Long did not arrange for him to play on the platform like Chongzhen did, but in the study where he usually summoned ministers. After Yuan Chonghuan saw Shen Long, he immediately paid homage. "Yuan Aiqing used to be in Liaodong for many years. Dare I ask how the Ming should deal with the Jian captives?"
"The strategy of destroying the captives is already in my mind. As long as your majesty is willing to let me supervise Liaodong again, I can pacify Liaodong in five years!" Yuan Chonghuan really made a promise to pacify Liaodong in five years as he said to Xu Yuqing.
Shen Long frowned slightly, and a burst of anger welled up in his heart. He didn't talk about strategy but only talked about Ping Liao in five years. Is this bullying me when I am young and ignorant and incompetent in military affairs? This is by no means the attitude that a minister should have towards the emperor!
He is not a person who is not ignorant of military affairs. In the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, he personally led the army for many years, and his gains are probably more than the combined gains of the Ming Dynasty's foreign wars in the past hundred years. The Taizu at the beginning and the time of Chengzu can be compared. Yuan Chonghuan might have found the wrong person to brag in front of him.
"Oh, may I ask how Yuan Aiqing plans to flatten the Liao Dynasty in five years?" Based on this sentence, Shen Long's evaluation of Yuan Chonghuan was much lower, no matter whether he was in collusion with Jianlu as described in some novels, At least this hat of talking big and greedy for power and position can't be taken off.
"If Your Majesty is willing to delegate power to me, but within five years, the Ministry of Households will transfer military salaries, the Ministry of Industry will supply equipment, the Ministry of Officials will employ personnel, and the Ministry of War will dispatch troops to select generals. Only the court's internal and external affairs must cooperate in order to be successful." Just ready excuses.
Well, let’s not talk about how to train soldiers, how to attack, how to defend, just stretch out your hands to ask for money and power, I will be surprised if I believe such a person, but Shen Long did not refute on the spot, "I know, Yuan Aiqing will follow me tomorrow." Let's go to morning together!"
Of course, Shen Long could scold Yuan Chonghuan, but it would be too cheap, so he decided to let the ministers in the court deal with Yuan Chonghuan. Is the big brother of the court grabbing meat from his mouth? I don't believe they can agree.
Yuan Chonghuan was a little dazed, but he didn't dare to say anything, he could only obey; when he arrived at the court the next day, Shen Long called Yuan Chonghuan out and asked Yuan Chonghuan in front of the ministers, Yuan Chonghuan couldn't change his words at this time , can only continue to bite the bullet and come up with a five-year plan to flatten the Liao Dynasty.
As soon as he heard that he was going to stretch his hands on his own territory, the ministers and servants of the Ministry of Households, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Military Department immediately exploded. When they caught Yuan Chonghuan, they cursed together. How much do you take? It's all right for you to fool His Majesty, there is no way to grab food from my bowl!
So the ministers began to besiege Yuan Chonghuan, starting from his military quality, questioning his personal morality all the way, scolding him for nothing; Still not losing the wind at all, he immediately confronted these ministers.
Shen Long watched it with gusto from the throne, um, this is much more interesting than Guo Degang's cross talk, I thought your dad planting loquat trees at home was already the highest level of cursing, but compared with these people, it's still far behind, Listen to his eloquence, my minister of Ming Dynasty has really put all his kung fu into words.
