Chapter 94: No Five Years to Pingliao
Since the prototype of the steam engine was in place and the problem of musket was also solved, Chongzhen did not stay much and returned to the Forbidden City.
Just thinking about Zhu Huiyan's request, Chongzhen was still extremely unhappy.
What happens if Chongzhen, who is the emperor, is unhappy? Of course, it is necessary to make all the noble ministers unhappy.
So, a willful imperial edict similar to Emperor Zhengde was sent out.
The requirements in the decree are very simple. The nobles of the world, whether they are the Prince Mu Mansion far away in Yunnan or the British Duke near the capital, including those vassal kings who are preparing to replace or not, must send one of the legitimate sons in the family and set up a new battalion to the capital, and the emperor will personally discipline them.
Just when the princes and nobles were in trouble, time had slowly passed by nearly a month.
Chongzhen looked at the person in front of him and felt a little displeased. Even though he was not a member of the appearance association, the person in front of him did not quite match his aesthetic view.
Chongzhen, who saw Yuan Chonghuan for the first time, felt that he had been deceived by Jin, especially the TV series "Bixue Sword", which portrayed Yuan Chonghuan as being handsome and majestic.
But what happened to the black, thin, short and short man in front of me? According to the perspective of later generations, he was less than 1.65 meters tall, even in the Ming Dynasty, he was considered a third-class disabled person.
The forehead skull is tall and dark. Although his appearance is not as scary as Zhong Kui, it is probably not easy to find someone ugly than the person in front of him in the entire Ming Dynasty - he looks like a small man, but is extremely irritable, which means that Yuan Chonghuan looks like a monkey and has a bad temper.
However, no matter what, Chongzhen still had some expectations in his heart. After all, people should not behave like a person. Since Yuan Chonghuan was able to kill Mao Wenlong first and let Jiannu fight to the capital in just two years after he was in charge of Liaodong, he must be a capable person.
But now this person is still unable to die, so he still needs to go to the position he should go, so as to calculate that he is loyal to the Ming Dynasty.
However, he was not very happy to be summoned by Chongzhen to accompany Diwen Tiren and other bigwigs. Just a black monkey, is it worth so many people watching?
However, Chongzhen didn't know what Wen Tiren and other court officials were thinking. After Yuan Chonghuan greeted him, he asked: "I always hear people talking about Yuan Aiqing in daily life. Even in the comments sent back from Liaodong, there were many words that Jiannu was afraid of Yuan Aiqing. If Yuan Aiqing was in charge of Liaodong, what would he do to do?"
Yuan Chonghuan said calmly: "I have already said what Your Majesty said just now, and I am really ashamed of the weak minister.
I am grateful to Your Majesty for your attention. If you can supervise Liaodong, you should clarify the military discipline, train strong troops, and build cities and lakes, and Liaodong will definitely be fully restored. All strategies have been written in the memorial of Your Majesty's Imperial Views."
However, Chongzhen asked meaningfully: "What are Yuan Aiqing's plans for Mao Wenlong in Dongjiang?"
Yuan Chonghuan was still indifferent and replied: "I am telling you that since you are the same palace as General Mao, you should work together to serve Your Majesty and serve the Ming Dynasty. General Mao restrained Jiannu in Dongjiang, and was practically the jade pillar of the battle situation in Liaodong, and built a golden beam of sea."
When Chongzhen heard this, he sneered in his heart, but then asked: "If my dear minister supervises Liaodong, what do you need? How many years can it be determined?"
It was not until this time that the face of Yuan Chonghuan's face changed slightly. After thinking about it, he bowed and replied: "I will tell you, if Your Majesty promises me to do things at a disadvantage, you will be able to resume in the fifth year of Liaodong."
However, Chongzhen sighed in his heart that history was powerful. Even if there were ten thousand words of lemon, he didn't know whether to talk about it or not. Sure enough, this bastard would still take five years to pacify Liao.
Although he was unhappy, Chongzhen did not show his face and said lightly: "I am tired, I'll worry for a while. Yuan Aiqing thinks about it carefully and will reply to me in the afternoon."
After Chongzhen left, the ministers looked at each other and had to temporarily withdraw from the palace to wait for the next afternoon to see him again.
But Xu Yuqing, who vigorously promoted the recommendation of Yuan Chonghuan, asked Yuan Chonghuan: "Is the element really sure to pacify Liao in five years?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan smiled bitterly and said, "Where are you sure? It's just a matter of comforting the holy wishes."
Xu Yuqing yelled, but complained: "Elements are confused! Now, the wise man is afraid that the decisiveness of killing is not inferior to Taizu Chengzu. If Liaodong cannot be restored in five years, I will see how you explain it to the emperor! I am just suffering, I am afraid that you will be cheated to death by you."
Yuan Chonghuan stroked his beard and smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother Gongshi, don't worry, the emperor doesn't want to pacify Liao in a certain fifth year. Will you not see me?"
Xu Yuqing cursed in her heart that I really believed you! But she said curiously: "I would like to ask Brother Element to teach me."
Yuan Chonghuan was confident and smiled faintly: "Just just now, when Yuan said that when he was training the army, His Majesty showed a look, but when Yuan said that he could pacify Liao in the fifth year, His Majesty looked unhappy. When Jiannu knocked on the gate, His Majesty had said that he would first envoy Liao in Liao in the fifth year, so how could Yuan be pacified Liao in the fifth year? Gong Shi really worried."
When Xu Yuqing heard this, he no longer thought about it. The two chatted for a while and then patiently waited for the afternoon to meet him.
In the afternoon, everyone rushed to the platform to see him again.
After the ministers finished their salutes, Chongzhen asked, "How is Yuan Aiqing thinking about it? Will it be possible to restore Liaodong in five years?"
Yuan Chonghuan was also clever and immediately said, "Your Majesty is wise and I am guilty. After pacifying Liao for the fifth year, it was actually my lies. I deceived the king first, so I ask Your Majesty to punish you."
Chongzhen thought, who said that Yuan Chonghuan was a barbarian? The bullshit history books in later generations were nonsense? Doesn’t he also know how to change things?
Thinking in his heart, Chongzhen said, "Forget it. I know what Yuan Aiqing wants to comfort me, so how could I blame him for his words? Forget it, Yuan Chonghuan obeyed the order."
Seeing that he was thinking about the day and night, Yuan Chonghuan was about to achieve it at this moment, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "My minister Yuan Chonghuan listened to the order."
Chongzhen said: "I added Yuan Chonghuan as the governor of Liaodong to control Liaodong. Ningyuan and Jinzhou responded to military affairs, and all the decisions were made by my beloved. I hope that my beloved will be loyal to the king's affairs in Liaodong. When Liaodong is pacified, why should I be reluctant to be rewarded for the title of marquis? Even if my beloved descendants are also covered by my beloved."
When Yuan Chonghuan heard this, he immediately thanked him: "My minister Yuan Chonghuan, I will thank you for your kindness. Long live my emperor." After being overjoyed, his voice trembled a little.
Chongzhen didn't care. After ordering Yuan Chonghuan to rise, Chongzhen continued: "This time Yuan Aiqing arrived in Liaodong, there was no need to worry about Jiannu for a while, nor did he say that he would pacify Liao in five years.
I know the situation of the Daming Wei. It is too difficult to say that it is a pacification of Liao in five years. As long as you guard Liaodong well, it will be a great achievement.
