651 It's time to go home
"Lu Qing has been fighting for the Ming Dynasty for many years, and I have long wanted to transfer him back and have some rest." Emperor Chongzhen looked at Sun Chuanting and said, "It just so happened that North Korea has fought a major battle with Japan. I think this is better. You draw troops from Qin and Jin, Guanning Army and Beijing camp to replace the troops currently in North Korea and complete a change of duty. How about it?"
Sun Chuanting was a little surprised when he heard this. Unexpectedly, the emperor's words were not in the Yunnan war, but in the distance from North Korea. And what he noticed was that the emperor said that he had just fought a major battle with Japan. If he went there, would there be any war?
He was not outside Shenyang City at that time, otherwise Emperor Chongzhen had told Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng that time that Japan must occupy it. In this way, there was only a major battle in North Korea, and there would be a war to fight in the future.
However, Sun Chuanting didn't know. After he hesitating for a moment, he replied to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, since you have fought a major battle, Japan will definitely be defeated. Can there be any war on North Korea?"
"Haha!" Emperor Chongzhen laughed when he heard this. Sun Chuanting was worried that there would be no war! If he had the chance, the Ming Dynasty would conquer the whole world in the future. Are you afraid that there would be no war to fight?
Thinking of this, although he stopped smiling, when the smile was still on his face, he said to Sun Chuanting: "Water has coveted my Ming Dynasty several times, and I can't spare him. Even if Japan no longer dares to attack the Korean province, as long as there is a chance, our Ming Dynasty should take the initiative to destroy Japan!"
"What Your Majesty said is extremely true!" When Sun Chuanting heard that he had the merit of destroying the country, he quickly replied with a hint of joy, "The Japanese pirates have always been to cause trouble for our Ming Dynasty. If the Japanese people are not eliminated, when I dozed off in the Ming Dynasty, I will cause trouble again!"
"That's the reason!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded after hearing this, "Now the situation over there, my Ming Dynasty has taken the initiative. After you go, you can make a quick decision. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" Sun Chuanting was very happy when he heard this. He gave him the right to make a decision immediately, so he immediately responded firmly and vigorously, "I accept the order!"
So, this matter was decided. Emperor Chongzhen immediately drafted an order to bring Lu Xiangsheng and his troops back to the Ming Dynasty for rest. There were five reasons for doing so.
First, since Lu Xiangsheng served as the governor of Baoding in the 12th year of Chongzhen, he has been fighting for the country on the Liaodong Peninsula. It has been seven years since he has not returned home once. No matter what, it has been long enough that he should go home to visit him.
Second, the Dongjiang Army was composed of volunteers among the original bandits. Emperor Chongzhen remembered very clearly that among the bandits who had been taken over in the Battle of Nanyang, only a small number of bandits were willing to atone for their past sins and go to Liaodong to fight against Jianlu, who was still in the peak of his power and powerful at that time.
Many casualties and injuries were found in the original Battle of Pyongyang, and those who are still alive are still fighting for the Ming Dynasty in North Korea. Emperor Chongzhen also intended to let these Ming soldiers take their glory and give them a chance to return to their hometown.
Third, Lu Xiangsheng is now the most famous civil servant among the Ming Dynasty officials. And his style is that he loves soldiers like his sons, in other words, he can effectively unite the lower-level soldiers. In this way, he will be responsible for the reform of the military system of the southern garrison. I believe that he will not be overthrown by the old officers, nor will he incite any mutiny, and can effectively deter local garrisons.
Fourth, the North Korean army is now considered a war-going army. After being transferred back, it can also effectively deter all places. In the reform of the military system of the garrison, these troops can be used as the backbone to expand the field army. Not only can the old lead the new, but it can also give these veterans a room for improvement.
Fifth, Sun Chuanting went to replace Lu Xiangsheng, and with his style, he would not be much polite to the Japanese. And this was also what Emperor Chongzhen himself meant.
If you conquer Japan, then the people of Japan will be the people of the Ming Dynasty, and this kind of treatment will be great. Emperor Chongzhen felt that this would not work. If it were a colony, it would not be what Emperor Chongzhen wanted, and it is likely that it would not become the permanent territory of the Ming Dynasty in the future.
Therefore, Sun Chuanting should not be ruthless for those who have opinions about the Ming Dynasty. In the process of conquering Japan, it is nothing to kill some enemies. Only those who have made contributions to the Ming Dynasty’s conquering Japan, and those who obey the Ming Dynasty’s conquest and can be a Ming citizen, can they be qualified to become a Ming citizen!
There are many experiences that prove that if you are just a territorial, just like peaceful conquest, there will definitely be many problems. Since this is the case, it is better to break the reconstruction directly.
Although there is no cold-hearted Sun Chuanting in Jiangnan, there is not Yang Tinglin and Lu Jiude still there. Zhang Pu has experienced so many years and is already familiar with the matter of continuing to rectify. Sun Chuanting's departure will not have much impact.
So, after Emperor Chongzhen arranged this matter, he did not rest any more and continued to lead the army north along the Yangtze River and marched towards Yunnan through Sichuan.
Of course, he was not just rushing to the road. In front of the army, he had already let the news spread everywhere, saying that Emperor Chongzhen led 100,000 troops to command Yunnan in person.
At the same time, he also issued an order to the factory guards to promote a series of achievements made by the Ming Dynasty in the north. He also ordered the governments in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan to start promoting these.
Before the army arrived, the plan to attack the heart was first released.
…………
The current situation in Yunnan can be said to be full of war. In addition to the chief minister Kunming and several nearby prefectures and counties, many other places, as long as they are under the jurisdiction of chieftains, have raised flags to rebel. Some are even under the jurisdiction of the imperial court officials, and were also captured by the neighboring chieftains. For a moment, the chieftain's arrogance was the greatest in Yunnan's history.
Mu Tianbo, Duke of Qian, was very dissatisfied with this situation. In other words, his dissatisfaction was actually accumulated for a long time.
First of all, the emperor today violates the ancestral system and abolishes the hereditary system of the prince. Even the emperor's sons have to be demoted every generation, not to mention that they, of course, cannot be preserved, and they have to be demoted every generation.
In other words, after Emperor Chongzhen issued that decree, Mu Tianbo was the last Duke of Qian. This was the same as in the original history. However, Mu Tianbo could not object to this at least on the surface. Because the emperor even had to do this, can you, a foreign minister, still talk about it?
Mu Tianbo was only twenty-eight years old at this time, but he inherited the Duke of Qian at the age of ten, and he was considered to be the Duke of Qian for eighteen years. After being in power for a long time, he really couldn't bear to give up this power.
In the original history, he must have had such an idea at the beginning. The small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty came to ask for help, but he refused to give up and eventually got a bargain in Shadingzhou.
Later, the remaining troops of the Daxi Army were about to enter Yunnan, and Kunming was occupied by Shadingzhou. In the end, Mu Tianbo, who was granted the title from the Ming Dynasty, stood with the Ming Dynasty and eventually died for the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, these things are impossible on this plane. Mu Tianbo's dissatisfaction, in addition to the relegation of each generation of the title, also has the inaction of the White Pole Army.
Yunnan has always been under the control of the Duke of Qian and the Governor of Yunnan in all dynasties. But for this reason, there have always been conflicts between the Duke of Qian and the Governor of Yunnan.
The Bai Gan Army represented the imperial court. However, after coming to Yunnan for several years, it was unable to quell the rebellion of the chieftains. What made Mu Tianbo even more dissatisfied was that the Bai Gan Army eventually retreated to Kunming, causing chaos in Yunnan.
Although he knew that this was the will of Emperor Chongzhen, this will was contrary to his interests. He did not dare to be dissatisfied with the emperor because it was passed on to Bai Ganjun.
Look, in the lobby of the Duke of Qian Mansion, Mu Tianbo and Yunnan Governor Wu Zhaoyuan sat in the main seats on the left and right sides, and the White Army Commander Qin Liangyu was sitting on the side of Wu Zhaoyuan. Her son Ma Xianglin stood behind her.
I heard Mu Tianbo say a little dissatisfied: "When will the imperial court start to suppress the chieftain rebellion?"
"Don't the Duke of the People know? The emperor has been transferred to Governor of Xuanda, Lord Chen, to serve as Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and now he has prepared troops and food in Guizhou." Wu Zhaoyuan turned his head and looked at Mu Tianbo, who was younger than him, and said, "Governor Zheng of the Three-Border has also led his troops into Sichuan, and the emperor has personally led his troops to Yunnan..."
Speaking of this, he paused and said, "As for Kunming, with the old general Qin watching, there will be no problem. The Duke of the State will wait with peace of mind!"
Mu Tianbo knew all these news. However, he felt that the court had only thunder and rain. He had never heard of the chieftain rebellion. Although the court also sent the Bai Gan Army to come, it had no effect, which made him very annoyed.
At this time, he glanced at Qin Liangyu with white hair, turned to Wu Zhaoyuan, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "I heard that those chieftains are in the alliance, especially the imperial army has not arrived, this Kunming..."
Speaking of this, Mu Tianbo turned his head to look at Qin Liangyu and said, "General Qin is really old, is it inappropriate!"
Qin Liangyu was already 72 years old at this time. In the eyes of 28-year-old Mu Tianbo, he was indeed very old. Even Ma Xianglin was over fifty years old.
It was obvious that he was worried that the Bai Gan Army would not be able to protect Kunming. In his opinion, if the Bai Gan Army was really capable, it would have destroyed the rebellious chieftains long ago, rather than deliberately not to destroy them according to the emperor's secret order.
When Ma Xianglin behind Qin Liangyu heard this, he was furious and wanted to go around the front and talk, but was stopped by Qin Liangyu. She heard her say to Mu Tianbo lukewarmly: "If the Duke is worried about the combat effectiveness of my Baigang Army, how can I hand over the important task of this city defense to the Duke?"
