Chapter Eighteen
The State of Lu Jian took advantage of the situation and nodded, "What Secretary Zhang said is very true, so let me discuss this matter later."
Zhang Huangyan was very anxious and walked forward two steps: "The country is supervising, there is no order without rules..."
But Zhang Guowei grabbed him, "Zhang Jiazhong, as a censor, can indeed hear the news, but this is different from the past. All ministers must work together to achieve great things. The supervisor has made a decision and should not talk nonsense about right or wrong again."
Zhang Huangyan shook his sleeves angrily and returned to the train.
At this time, the guards came to report, "Liu Zhongping, deputy of Qianhu Office of Kuaiji, said that there was an emergency military situation."
The ministers were all disgusted. The emergency military information reported by Qianhuoji Households, could the Qing army attack from where there was no defense?
The Lu Jianguo also became nervous and looked at Zhang Guowei.
Zhang Guowei looked at the faces of the ministers in the room and sighed slightly: "Responsible, let's talk about it later."
The Lu Jianguo then said, "Crossing."
Liao Zhongping ran into the lobby in a short while.
"I'm going to see the governor."
"What military information is reported to you according to the actual situation."
Liao Zhongping then told the story about what happened at the wharf one by one.
Liao Zhongping is not a treacherous person. He did not make trouble behind the scenes because of Wu Zheng's confrontation.
However, there was no good words for Wu Zheng and the thousands of military and civilians.
If Wu Zheng was present at this time, he could only evaluate four words - to be honest.
Many people in the hall changed their faces.
Especially Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren.
The two looked at each other, and Fang Guoan suddenly stepped forward and said, "Report to the supervisor, although he is a small sentry officer and a defeated general, he still knows that he will not let the court down and the Ming Dynasty. I think there is no need to punish the crime and the reward is also exempted. Even if the merits and demerits are offset, I will scold this person after resigning from the court, so that he can serve the court well in the future and be loyal to the court."
Before Fang Guoan finished speaking, Wang Zhiren snorted lightly and immediately stepped forward and said, "I just heard that Wu Zheng had seized dozens of boats from the Jinshan Guard Wharf and returned to the sea. I was the governor of the Ming Navy. I thought that the governor could promote him to the deputy Qianhu, and put Wu Zheng and his subordinates into his command. On the one hand, it would strengthen the strength of the imperial navy, and on the other hand, it would be considered as rewarding Wu Zheng and his soldiers to kill more than 100 Qing troops, to demonstrate the clear rewards and punishments of the imperial court."
Fang Guoan was furious and turned around and stared at Wang Zhiren and said, "Mr. Wang, are you going to compete with me for someone?"
Wang Zhiren snorted coldly: "Master Fang, Wu Zheng is under the command of the General of Jiading. The General of Jiading belongs to the Hongguang Dynasty. Now the Hongguang Dynasty has been destroyed. I wonder where the word "Master Fang" comes from?"
Fang Guoan was stunned for a long time and suddenly said, "The General Jiading belongs to the Governor's Office of the Five Army. Fang is the General of Zhennan. According to the rules, Wu Zheng is under Fang's command."
Wang Zhiren said, "What Lord Fang said is reasonable, but it is true that Wu Zheng is under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of the Five Army, but his soldiers are under the command of Jinshan Wei Qianhu Office. According to Lord Fang, the soldiers of this guard should naturally belong to Wang."
Everyone was stunned, including the State of Lu.
It is no exaggeration to say that the small court of Shaoxing Prefecture has no more powerful people than these two, and even the Lu Jianguo had to let these two men score three points.
Is it interesting to see now that I am fighting for a mere sentry official in front of all the civil and military officials?
But among the ministers, there are really a few who understand it.
For example, Zhang Guowei, the Minister of War, just because he didn't want to speak because he really felt tired.
He was the Minister of War of the Chongzhen Dynasty. Seeing the demise of the Ming Dynasty and the establishment of the Hongguang Dynasty, he felt really tired when he saw the demise of the Hongguang Dynasty and the King of Lu was supervising the country.
Looking at the intrigues in the small court, it was not that he did not want to revive the Ming Dynasty, but that he was unable to match his strength.
For example, Qian Sule, the right assistant censor, was originally a member of the Ministry of Justice of the Ming Dynasty. After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, he proposed to raise an army to fight against the Qing Dynasty with his tribute students Dong Zhining, Wang Jiaqin, Zhang Mengxi and others. After that, he invited King Zhu Yihai of Lu to Shaoxing to supervise the country.
Although he is a civil servant, he also understands military affairs.
Now in eastern Zhejiang, there are too few people who have really fought with the Tartars but have not died.
But now, there are more than a hundred living soldiers in front of us, all of whom have fought with the Qing army face to face.
With this group of people who can do the basics and form an army, what would it be like?
What kind of glory and reputation can you get if you have such an army under your command?
it goes without saying.
Qian Sule led the soldiers and understood the difference between such veterans and temporary recruitment of rebels.
Therefore, he took advantage of the dispute between Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren and tried his best to wink at the Lu Jianguo.
Zhu Yihai still knew what Qian Sule meant.
Qian Sule, Zhang Huangyan and others have made contributions to supporting him. If the court wants to choose someone Zhu Yihai trusts, even if Qian Sule is not the only one, he will be the first one.
However, Zhu Yihai did not think that a mere sentry officer and more than 100 defeated soldiers would be of great use.
Fang Guoan had 30,000 people under his command, Wang Zhiren had 10,000 people and 8,000 navy troops.
These more than a hundred people really cannot raise Zhu Yihai's interest.
But one thing is clear, Zhu Yihai is very clear.
As a royal family, especially after taking office as the throne of the state, Zhu Yihai became more aware of it.
That is balance.
The most important thing for those who are superior is balance.
It has nothing to do with right or wrong, loyalty and treason, but only about the balance of strength.
Fang Guoan, Wang Zhiren's power is too great, and it is difficult for the Chinese ministers of the court to suppress these two people.
Zhu Yihai had already clearly felt the challenge of Fang and Wang's strength to his authority.
Therefore, Zhu Yihai needed to find an opportunity to suppress Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren and warn them.
This warning is actually very simple, that is, I oppose what you agree with, and I oppose what you oppose.
Since you all want it, I won't give it to you.
Although Zhu Yihai was not optimistic about Wu Zheng, Wu Zheng was the best tool to warn Fang and Wang at this time.
So, Zhu Yihai looked at Qian Sule with a slight head.
Qian Sule, who received the signal from Zhu Yihai, immediately stepped out and said: "Report to the supervisory country, I think that Wu fought to kill the Tartars and led thousands of soldiers and civilians to come south. In order to gain nothing more than loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, I am joining our dynasty. Therefore, I personally think that the court must be generous and treated well. In this way, the people in the world will be grateful to your highness and will follow your example and come to join us. I beg your highness to think twice."
As soon as this statement was made, Fang Guoan and Wang Zhiren stopped quarreling and looked at each other. In an instant, the two sides reached a cooperation.
Fang Guoan said: "The words of Censor Qian are so bad. A mere sentry official is not enough to affect the hearts of the people in the world. Besides, Wu Zheng and his subordinates are highly valued under my Duke and Duke Xingguo, which also demonstrates the court's willingness to treat the military and civilians well. In this way, I will not fight with Duke Xingguo. Wu Zheng will return to me, and his soldiers and ships will return to Duke Xingguo Navy. Duke Xingguo, what do you think?"
Wang Zhiren stepped forward and said, "Great sage. Your Highness, I think the Duke of Yue's suggestion is very good."
