Both Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou came from the Qingming Dynasty. In the Qingming Dynasty, what civil servants valued was someone who dared to speak up. Some civil servants repeatedly confronted their bosses and even the emperor, and even took the blame, just to gain a reputation of not being afraid of power.
"But this habit doesn't work with military attaches. What military attaches pay attention to is the distinction between superiority and inferiority. The superior is the superior, and the subordinate is the subordinate. What the superior says is an order, and no one is allowed to violate it.
Therefore, although it was strange to see Li Yan not seeking a decisive battle with the enemy, but instead defending the camp, Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou just sat in their seats and did not dare to say anything.
After Li Yan warned several generals about the details they should pay attention to, he turned to Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou and said with a smile: "General Wu, General Zu, do you have any doubts about my arrangement?"
Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou looked at each other and shook their heads together. Zu Dashou smiled bitterly and said, "I don't dare. I'm not sure about the Superintendent's arrangements. But compared to the Superintendent's move, you must have a reason for it." The general will never dare to question the command of the Governor."
"Hahayou guys!" Li Yan pointed at Wu Sangui and laughed, "You must have questions in your mind, you just don't dare to ask me."
"This the supervisor made atonement for his sins, and the general made a mistake." Wu Sangui and Wu Sangui wriggled their mouths for a while, then they gritted their teeth and lowered their heads to admit their mistake.
Looking at Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou's frightened expressions in front of him, Li Yan felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. once Upon a time. I am just a small person. Although he was considered a moderate celebrity in his hometown, he was not even an ant to princes like Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou who held heavy armies. But now these two people he used to have to look up to. The big man could only look at his own face. What a contrast.
However, although Li Yan was very proud in his heart, he was also very clear-headed. His power and status today all depended on the man sitting in the Golden Palace and the 20,000 lions of the Third Army. They themselves are nothing.
Thinking of Pang Gang's instructions to him before leaving, the corners of Li Yan's mouth turned up slightly. Now it was time to reveal the plan to the two of them.
Li Yan said: "General Wu, General Zu, you don't have to do this. You all blame me for not making things clear to you, but it's a major military matter, not just you, but even General Li Yuan didn't disclose it. So you It¡¯s not surprising that I don¡¯t know the meaning of what I did.¡±
"What, is there something hidden here? Didn't even Li Yuan, the emperor's confidant, know about it beforehand?" Hearing this, the Liaodong generals were slightly surprised.
Seeing everyone's surprised look, Li Yan smiled and said: "Everyone knows our purpose this time. The emperor's intention is very clear. Either we don't fight, or if we fight, we must completely beat the Manchu Tatars to the ground. Let them never stand up again! But how are we going to fight? Do we just rely on our 50,000 troops? You must have some doubts, right?"
Speaking of this, everyone looked embarrassed. To be honest, they were not very optimistic about the plan to attack Shengjing. The reason is very simple. Their military strength is really insufficient. Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty today is not as good as when they were in their heyday a few years ago, they can still pull out an army of at least hundreds of thousands. Just because they want to capture Shengjing with an army of 50,000 The difficulty is not ordinary.
Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Li Yan knocked on the table a few times and then said: "Okay, everyone, stop guessing. Now it's time to tell you the answer. The emperor's plan to regain Liaodong this time is It is naturally impossible to rely on our group of people to complete what I have personally formulated. In addition to our group of people, there is also a group of people who will attack Shengjing from another direction, and our task is to defeat the Tatars. The child is firmly nailed here."
"Wow"
After listening to Li Yan's words, everyone couldn't help but make a noise. In addition to them, the court also sent another group of people. This was really beyond everyone's expectation.
Zu Dashou first spoke and asked: "Supervisor. Is this what the emperor means?"
Zu Dashou¡¯s words made Li Yan frown. From these words, Li Yan could hear Zu Dashou¡¯s hidden dissatisfaction. Zu Dashou was dissatisfied with himself for hiding this important matter from him.
Li Yan turned to look at Wu Sangui again. He found that Wu Sangui, a young man, was obviously not as well-educated as Zu Dashou, so he immediately showed his dissatisfaction on his face and complained.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, the general and the ancestor are the commander-in-chief, so the imperial court doesn't know how to deal with such a big matter. Isn't this a bit unreasonable?"
Seeing the dissatisfied looks and words of these two representatives of Liaodong generals, Li Yan did not explain anything, but said in a deep voice:?: "General Zu, this is the emperor's wish, and it is also the governor's wish. Naturally, the fewer people who know about a major military matter, the better. Do you have any opinions?"
For this matter, Li Yan rarely gave an explanation. Instead, he just used the words "military aircraft event" to explain it, and asked the two of them what their opinions were. This was in sharp contrast to Li Yan's gentle attitude in peacetime.
Until then, Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui suddenly woke up. They realized that the governor in front of them was not a good person. He had already given Zu Dashou and other local Liaodong generals a disincentive when they arrived in Jinzhou.
Now that he dares to say something about military matters in front of everyone, it shows that he doesn't care about everyone's reaction or their backlash.
Looking at the vaguely indignant expressions of the generals in Liaodong, Li Yan sneered: "Don't you hear that in the art of war, soldiers are important matters of life and death, and they must be observed. What a big deal it is for the imperial court to send troops to Liaodong in two groups this time. The Emperor has ordered that no one should reveal anything, and even General Li Yuan only found out today, so why should you do this?"
Everyone turned their attention to Li Yuan, who had been sitting silently next to Li Yan, and saw that the first general who followed the current emperor still looked calm and showed no dissatisfaction. Seeing this scene, all the people in Liaodong The generals also had to put away the dissatisfaction on their faces.
In an army that values ??strength first, Li Yan holds such a powerful army. No matter how dissatisfied everyone is, they can't do anything to him, not to mention that the person behind him is still looking at them coldly.
Seeing that all the Liaodong generals lowered their heads, Li Yan's expression remained unchanged, but he sneered in his heart. These guys were all hard-working people, and the emperor was right. Sooner or later, he would have to tell them to get out of Liaodong
Just when Li Yan led the army and Huang Taiji faced off at the foot of the Lion Mountain outside Shengjing, there was also a person thousands of miles away in the capital standing next to a huge map with his hands behind his back, looking at Shengjing and Shengjing that had been surrounded by red circles. places around.
"Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji, if I let you escape this time, it would be unreasonable!" A faint sigh sounded in this simply decorated study room.
At this time, a eunuch¡¯s distinctive sharp voice rang outside, ¡°The imperial concubine has arrived!¡±
As the voice arrived, Zhu Yusao, dressed in palace attire, walked in accompanied by two delicate palace ladies.
After the wedding, the nourished Zhu Yuyao changed from her former youthfulness and began to bloom with amazing charm. Although she is only sixteen years old this year, she has received the strictest formal royal education since she was a child, and she appears to be the most luxurious among Pang Gang's harem. She is beautiful and very favored by Pang Gang.
But despite this, Zhu Ailao did not remain spoiled. She still maintained a good friendship with the two queens of the East and West Palaces, Wei Manting and Kong Ruolan, as well as the two noble concubines Chen Yuanyuan and Li Xuezhu. Even the two dowry maids Ling'er and Qiaoer were born. The concubine also talked well. This had to make Pang Gang marvel at the excellent diplomatic skills of this former Ming royal princess.
After entering the study, Zhu Yuyao covered Pang Gang with a cloak and said softly: "Your Majesty, the weather is getting cold. Why don't you wear more clothes? What should I do if I catch a cold?"
Smelling the faint fragrance of Specific Gravity, Pang Gang did not answer, but grabbed Zhu Ainao's little hand, feeling the delicate softness and just smiled without saying a word.
Although it was her husband who grabbed her hand, she was still not used to this kind of intimacy after receiving a strict royal education since she was a child. She could only lower her head shyly and whispered: "Your Majesty, someone is watching."
Pang Gang laughed: "What are you afraid of? I am being intimate with my own wife. Is this a violation of heaven's rules?"
Speaking of which, Pang Gang, a guy from later generations, is really incompatible with today's people in some aspects. For example, since he has married seven wives and given them titles, it stands to reason that each of them should have their own courtyard, and the two queens should even have their own palace.
But Pang Gang didn't do that. He lived in Qianqing Palace on weekdays, and built a three-story building behind the former Qianqing Palace to accommodate his seven wives and four children. Entering, this move stunned both the civil and military ministers outside the palace and the eunuchs and maids in the palace.
"How could there be such an emperor in the past and present? Isn't the huge palace unable to accommodate the emperor and a few concubines?
Faced with the officials who complained about Pang Gang¡¯s problematic behavior in the official Zhejiang, Pang Gang simply wrote four words on the Zheji: ¡°None of your business!¡± and dismissed them all.
When Zhu Ailao first got married, she was also very puzzled by Pang Gang's behavior, but as time went by, she?Gradually I felt the benefits of this approach. At least everyone living in the same house is very lively and warm. Several sisters and children talk together every day, and they will not feel lonely or bored when chatting.
Seeing that Zhu Ainao's jade-white neck started to turn red due to his actions, Pang Gang stopped teasing her and chuckled: "Okay, what's the matter with your concubine coming here?". . )
