204 Disrupting the trend of Guanning warlords
To be honest, when Hu Guang heard Liu Wang's retelling, he really doubted whether Wu Sangui traveled through time and could actually say this?
But looking back, now, shouting this sentence and making similar actions does indeed have the effect of encouraging the morale of the court, and it is also very sympathetic to Hu Guang's temper.
Wu Sangui happened to be behind the general. He had the conditions to read and read, and it was not uncommon to be familiar with historical allusions. In addition, he was able to leave such a great reputation in history, and his political sense would not be low even if he was still young now.
At this time, Wu Sangui was like a newborn calf, with a sharpness that those veterans did not have. It seemed particularly precious when such veterans were full of gas.
Hu Guang chose Wu Sangui and those veterans. Even if Wu Sangui is not mature yet, he would still choose Wu Sangui instead of those veterans.
Therefore, Hu Guang's first thought after hearing this news was to reward Wu Sangui with great importance and use it as a typical example. By the way, another problem can be solved.
At this time, Zu Dashou, who was standing below, couldn't help but smile happily when he saw that Wu Sangui's nephew was so valued by the emperor.
But it is indeed true that this nephew is the most outstanding among the descendants of the Zu and Wu tribes. I have always been optimistic about this nephew and have given strong support.
Zu Dashou smiled and recalled in his heart that he knew the information of the three thousand Mongolian Tartars at that time, and he had gathered the most elite 800 cavalry here, and there was no doubt that he could win. But he didn't expect that this nephew was very smart and did things that he adapted to the situation. He had a lot of morale in the Ming Dynasty. It was very good to see that it was also very suitable for the emperor's appetite. It was probably at least a general in charge this time, and even a deputy general was possible!
He was thinking about it when he saw Emperor Chongzhen suddenly smiled and glanced at his ministers, saying loudly: "Preventing Wu Sangui, making great contributions, increasing the morale of the Ming Dynasty, and promoting the prestige of the Ming Dynasty. I am very relieved. I specially appointed Wu Sangui as the general of the enemy and appointed as the general of Jinzhou, and I admire this!"
In the original history, Wu Sangui's battle for fame was in the third year of Chongzhen, and he led only dozens of cavalrymen to rescue his besieged father Wu Xiang from tens of thousands of Jianlu troops. He gained the legendary reputation of "filial piety and bravery, and the three armies are the best", and was therefore named guerrilla.
In this plane, Wu Sangui was like Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty. He also led only 800 cavalry to conquer the Tartars and won the victory. Of course, there is also a difference. Huo Qubing's victory was far from comparable to Wu Sangui this time. In addition, Huo Qubing was one year younger than Wu Sangui at that time, and was only seventeen years younger than Wu Sangui.
No matter what, Wu Sangui was named General of the Envoy at the age of 18 and became the general of the guards in the Ming Dynasty! It can be seen from this that Wu Sangui won the holy heart this time, and he really rewarded him very much!
However, amid the surprise, admiration and envy of a group of civil and military officials, another group of people were stunned, including Zu Dashou himself, which was wrong!
The chief assistant Wen Tiren was also speechless, but he couldn't tell whether the emperor did it on purpose. As the chief assistant, he still had to remind him, so he went out to report to the emperor: "Your Majesty, there is already a general officer in Jinzhou, and Wu Sangui is his son!"
When Hu Guang heard this, he smiled in his heart, but he showed a sudden enlightenment on the surface, and then immediately said, "This is because I was in a shortage of the general of Datong. Isn't it that the general of Datong? I will be transferred to Wu Xiang as the general of Datong! Two generals in one sect, the Wu family is really my Ming general!"
With this change, the conflict just now was resolved, and the emperor's golden words would not be a problem. It was a win-win situation and everyone was happy.
However, while Zu Dashou was happy for the Wu family, he always felt something was wrong, but for a moment he couldn't remember it.
But Wen Tiren was different. He was the emperor's confidant. When he discussed personnel affairs in Liaodong several times with the emperor, he realized that both the emperor and himself were a little worried about the issue of warlordization of Liaodong generals.
This mainly comes from Zu Dashou's ability to take the army away from the capital. The root cause is that there is no military supervisor in the Guanning army, and there is no restrictions on the Liaodong governor. Moreover, the relationship between the generals of the Guanning army is mixed, and most of them are relatives or family members of Zu Dashou.
Although Zu Dashou was promoted and surrendered in secret, transferred from Guanning Army, and mentioned He Kegang, Cao Wenzhao and others. However, there was Wu Xiang, the old army leader in Guanning Army, and other people from the ancestral system were also the leader.
Now that the emperor temporarily takes advantage of Wu Sangui's incident, although the Wu family has an additional general, he can transfer Wu Xiang away. With Wu Sangui's current age and qualifications, he will definitely not be able to compete with Wu Xiang.
If you don’t do this, transferring Zu Dashou and then directly transferring Wu Xiang will definitely cause a rebound between Zu and Wu families. However, promoting Wu Sangui to general and occupying Wu Xiang’s position can somewhat alleviate the dissatisfaction of Zu and Wu families and appease them.
Thinking of this, Wen Tiren understood the emperor's intention. Suddenly, he couldn't help but glance at the emperor more, and then immediately bowed to receive the order and said, "Your Majesty's wise!"
After hearing this, Hu Guang would not know what Wen Tiren refers to as a wise man. It is not about resolving the conflict problem, but about initially resolving the issue of warlords in the Guanning army. This is indeed a trick he thought of temporarily. When Wen Tiren was praised, he was also a little proud.
But at this time, it was not the time to be happy. Hu Guang thought to himself, so he sat back on his imperial seat. After the quiet whip sounded and the Huangji Hall calmed down again, he glanced at the ministers and suddenly his face became serious.
After a while, after accumulating a serious atmosphere, Hu Guang said loudly: "I have said that during this war, all cities in the capital, the whole city must work together to resist. If anyone dares to surrender, I will kill all their nine clans, which has nothing to do with fake surrender! But as long as it can stop Jianlu from siege, the imperial officials will be promoted beyond the level, and the people in the city will be exempted from tax for three years! Therefore, all the people in Changli will be exempted from tax for three years, and I will never break my promise!"
When he talked about this, all the civil and military officials in the Huangji Hall knew that the focus of the emperor was definitely not the people of Changli for three years to exempt the tax from the people of Changli, but the other thing!
Sure enough, after the emperor said this, his voice suddenly became stern. He only heard him say loudly: "Zhang Yangchu, the magistrate of Yongping, the soldiers prepared to tell Bai Yangcui, the deputy general Yang Wenkui, the guerrilla Yang Shengyuan and other fifteen other people surrendered to Jianlu, ignoring my will, and causing countless casualties and injuries to the people in Yongping. I will also keep my promises and kill the nine clans to serve as a warning to others, and sacrifice blood to the people who died in vain!"
