    Huang Shuai's bravery and loyalty are particularly valuable, and the humble minister congratulates our emperor Sheng De.  Neither Ding Shaoshi, who is speaking now, nor Gu Bingqian, who had previously hinted that Huang Shi was popular, will never attack Huang Shi's loyalty again.  A few days ago, Gu Bingqian tentatively reminded Tianqi: It seems that it is not a blessing for the country to have a strong general like Huang Shi remaining in the border army.  But Tianqi didn't seem to like hearing such words. He told Gu Bingqian bluntly that an ambitious person would never take such a risk. Huangshi's trip to Liaoyang was tantamount to a narrow escape. As for Huangshi's killing of Nurhaci, it was almost the same.  Suicide is no different.  In the end, Tianqi even put aside his taboo and asked the cabinet directly: Have you ever heard of any person with lofty ideals who has done such a thing?  This kind of dialogue makes Gu Dafo and the others very unaccustomed. Although suppressing military generals is the established policy of the civil service group, Gu Dafo and the others are still not willing to sacrifice their own futures in order to suppress a Huangshi. So today the three cabinet members acted uncharacteristically.  He desperately encouraged Huang Shi's loyalty.  These words obviously suited Tianqi's taste. He happily accepted the congratulations from his ministers and happily left the court to play.  When the emperor left, the three cabinet ministers stood up from their chairs together and dropped their hands on their trousers to respectfully see the emperor off.  "A brave general like Huang Shi, who is nine thousand years old, is really not suitable to stay in one place for a long time." After Tianqi left, the three pavilion elders began to tell Wei Zhongxian together.  Seeing Wei Zhongxian's gloomy face and noncommittal, Gu Ge was so anxious that he almost shed tears: "Nine thousand years old, we don't have any prejudice against Huangshi, but Mao Wenlong has always taken credit and was arrogant. He has always been against the Ministry of War and the Chief Secretary of Shandong ever since he came out of Dongjiang Town.  Mao Wenlong of Huangshi became more and more arrogant and almost wanted to ride on the head of the Chief Secretary of Shandong. Discord between civil and military affairs is a big taboo! " "Yes, at the age of nine thousand, Mao Wenlong asked for an increase in salary by one hundred.  If the ten thousand taels of silver are not granted to him, Mao Wenlong will use Huangshi's contribution to make trouble. If he is granted the grant, won't the feudal town of the Tang Dynasty reappear today? " Feng Quan also looked heartbroken when he spoke.  He looked like he was stamping his feet and sighing as he spoke.  Recently, Mao Wenlong has repeatedly written letters to impeach Shandong officials for continuing to squander his military pay and allowing grain officials to embezzle 400,000 taels of silver from Dongjiang Town.  In order to prove his innocence, Mao Wenlong was determined to sue in front of Tianqi.  Argue clearly with the officials in Dengzhou.  In addition to refusing to sign for the floating rations several times in a row, Mao Wenlong even blatantly attacked those central officials who went to the military parade in Dongjiang Town for "blackening their consciences."  Because these officials were only willing to inspect the soldiers in Dongjiang and Lushun, Changsheng, Kuandian, Tieshan and other hundreds of fortresses and islands, they assigned a troop quota of 20,000 to Dongjiang without even visiting them.  These fierce attacks by Mao Wenlong really turned off the appetite of the Wenchen Group.  What is particularly abominable is that Mao Wenlong, the Imperial Envoy, Yipinjie, and the General Secretary were unable to reject these memorials, and each one had to be sent to the emperor, so whether it was the Liaodong Dusifu or the Shandong Chief Secretary.  My tolerance for Dongjiang Town has almost reached its limit.  It's just that Wei Zhongxian's attitude has always been very ambiguous. He also has a sense of distance and distrust towards scholars. Ding Shaoshi saw Wei Zhongxian's uncertain face. He guessed that the latter was worried that the situation in Liaodong would change. If he spoke for the civil service group today, it would be difficult for him in the future.  Apocalypse explains.  "Nine thousand years old. The governor of Liaodong has a report. According to what the governor of Liaodong heard, Jianlu seemed to have been beaten to pieces by Huang Shuai. This time, in order to shirk each other's responsibility for failing to protect the old slave, they even forced their aunts to death. Liaodong  The governor also said that the Jianlu people were so divided that they could not even elect a successor. The brothers had to sit side by side with each other. Everyone was tired of fighting and wanted to surrender. " Wei Zhongxian said coldly.  Ding Shaoshi glanced at Ding Cifu and knew that the old man in front of him was not as easy to fool as Tianqi. He raised his official robe and knelt on the ground: "Nine thousand years old, but only tens of thousands of land. Less than five thousand, after all, there is no border danger. And now there is a faint threat in Dongjiang Town."  The trend is so strong that all knowledgeable people in the government and the public are deeply concerned. I dare you to ask Nine Thousand Years Old to investigate clearly!" Ding Shaoshi said with great emotion, but Wei Zhongxian just snorted again: "Liao affairs can't happen in one day. Dongjiang Town can't happen in one day!  There is no Mao Wenlong in the day. How can Dongjiang Town not have enough food for three months?" "Nine Thousand Years Mingjian" Gu Bingqian, who was a core member of the eunuch party, also knelt down with Ding Shaoshi: "The officials of the six departments are not going to be abolished.  Dongjiang Town just wants to share its contribution. In the past few years, Mao Wenlong has killed more than 6,000 people, but half of them are from Huangshi. It is reasonable and reasonable to separate Huangshi from Dongjiang Town and prevent them from becoming a dominant family. "  "But you all know that Huangshi is unwilling to be ungrateful." Feng Quan had already knelt on the ground. Now the three of them bear the pressure of the entire civil service group, so they have to argue with reason: "Nine thousand years old Mingjian even Mao Wenlong  nowBut the situation is now very clear. Dongjiang Town will definitely monopolize Ping Liao's power. In the future, most of the military commanders in the Liaodong Dusi will come from Mao Wenlong's sect.  Nine Thousand Years Old is a big feudal town by accident. All we want is to let Liao Town take some of the credit and not let Dongjiang Town become the dominant one.  " Wei Zhongxian chuckled a few times and turned twice in front of the three people with his hands behind his back: "Mao Wenlong earns two hundred thousand taels of silver and two hundred thousand taels of rice a year. In the past few years, he has grown from nothing to a land thousands of miles away. He has many fierce generals and many elite soldiers.  Ten thousand.  Liao Town earns millions of taels of silver a year. Six years have passed and it has not touched the edge of the Liao River. Do you think they can get it if Liao Town shares the credit?  " "Nine thousand years old is because Sun Chengzong is too incompetent.  But things are different now. Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong, has a lot of strategy and has long boasted of being a borderline talent. Zeng Hao said" "You can't judge a person by how he talks but by how he acts. Our family has seen too many people who only know this.  A scholar who talks big words but doesn't know how to do practical things.  " Wei Zhongxian interrupted Feng Quan's words. He first looked up at the ceiling for a while, then sighed and then looked at the three kneeling elders with complicated eyes and said in a deep voice: "But this time in Ningyuan and Liaodong.  The governor did a good job.  " Wei Zhongxian stared coldly at the Ming Dynasty Cabinet on the ground in silence for a long time and then added: "Our family has its own opinions on this matter and you don't need to say anything anymore.  " After leaving these words, Wei Zhongxian strode out of the door. The three cabinet ministers lay tightly on the floor with their faces almost touching the ground: "I respectfully send you nine thousand years.  "  Nakajima, the fourth day of September in the sixth year of Tianqi, "This is Desmond, the mirror-making technician recommended by the Society.  We are also Dutch. Can you two get closer and closer?  " Huangshi introduced a newly arrived Dutchman to his fellow countryman Fan Leyou. Desmond was a telescope lens technician. As more and more people in his hometown made money by sailing, Desmond also abandoned his old profession.  I came to the Far East with longings and then painted the dock floor in Macau for several years. Until now, the telescopes used in Asia were basically imported ones. In order to attract Xu Guangqi to join the religion, Matteo Ricci once made one.  Telescopes. But generally speaking, the demand for telescopes in Asia is not large. Most European voyagers often bring some. They would rather buy telescopes from Europe than invest in building a factory to manufacture telescopes in Asia.  After recruiting telescope lens technicians, Desmond was pleasantly surprised to find that he could make money with his craftsmanship again, so he embarked on a journey to Changsheng Island, eager to resume his old career A technician who can grind lenses is really a valuable talent.  What makes Huang Shi happy is that Desmen is also a tramp and does not need to be paid a high salary. The best thing is that Desmen does not believe in orthodox Catholicism but in shiny silver coins, so Huang Shi does not have to pay for his beliefs.  It¡¯s nerve-wracking. In addition to Desmond, Huang Shi also found four pocket watch technicians through the Jesuits. Compared to Huang Shi, these guys¡¯ hands-on skills are simply god-like. They can make all clock parts from bars to gears by hand.  But what disappoints Huangshi is that there are quite a few fanatics among these technicians, so Huangshi urgently set up a training class to serve as apprentices to them. At the same time, Huangshi continued to go to the Jesuits.  The letter asked them to find a group of pocket watch technicians to come to Huangshi, hoping to select a group of suitable candidates and directly join the Ming Dynasty military to solve the technical problem once and for all. After arranging the meeting between the Dutch fellows, Huangshi hurried to see Bao Bowen and others.  Bao Bowen summoned the best blacksmiths and gun-making teams on Zhongdao according to Huang Shi's order, and then Huang Shi took out a mahogany box with great care, put it on the table and opened it carefully.  There was a layer of red brocade inside with a beautiful leather sheath on it. Huang Shi opened the leather sheath and took out a hand gun. With a mysterious expression on his face, Huang Shi added medicine to the hand gun, loaded the bullets and pointed it towards the crowd.  He fired a shot in the direction of no one. The onlookers were all the elites of the Changsheng Island Military Industry Department. They and their immediate boss Bao Bowen were stunned. Huang Shi put his cymbals back upright and pointed at them gently.  He blew on the still smoking muzzle, stared at the slowly dispersing smoke, and then looked around at the crowd: "Did you all see clearly?  " "I dare you to ask your Excellency to try shooting again.  "Except for a few people who expressed shock with silence, most of the remaining people asked Huang Shi to demonstrate another shot. "Okay.  "Huang Shi once again added medicine to his hand gun and loaded the bullets. The people around him stared at his every tiny movement with their eyes wide open. They held their breath and stared at his every little movement. "Pull down the bolt of the gun with your thumb and aim at Huang Shi where there is no one.  The trigger was pulled again After the smoke cleared, these military and industrial elites from Changsheng Island focused their attention on Huangshi.It's like watching magic on the cymbals.  "This blunderbuss was a gift given to me by the Jesuits. According to them, it was just passed over from the West. I gave this blunderbuss a name: 'flint hand blunderbuss.' Our current blunderbuss is called 'matchlock hand.'"  The gun was ready to show the difference between the two. "Huang Shi handed the flint gun to Bao Bowen. Everyone immediately coaxed and gathered around Bao Bowen to take a look, but Huang Shi was left out of the circle.  "There really is no match rope." "It can actually light a fire." "Take it apart and see." Everyone was talking about the flintlock gun. Huang Shi stood next to the crowd and continued to describe what he had just learned from Jesus.  The story I heard there: "Less than thirty years ago in a country called France in the West, someone discovered this type of flintlock musket. About seven years ago, France in the West began to equip their army with flintfire muskets. You are now  The handgun I saw was made in France. It is said that it was the latest weapon made last year, and its fire rate has reached more than 90%. "Over the years, Huangshi has developed tens of thousands of loyal and patriotic Catholics.  The Jesuits were very grateful to Huangshi for helping Heaven collect so many souls. They gave Huangshi this flint gun considering his status as a general.  This kind of weapon is still very expensive in Europe and is mainly a plaything of high-ranking officers and nobles.  The Jesuits thought they just gave Huang Shi a high-end toy, but Huang Shi immediately realized the power of this thing. In the next few decades, the flintlock will eventually completely eliminate the matchlock gun and become the decisive weapon on the battlefield.  Because the matchlock gun uses an open flame, keep the matchlock away from the fire door before loading.  You also need to be very careful when loading gunpowder. These related actions greatly slow down the firing rate of the gunpowder.  Although the matchlock guns currently used on Changsheng Island also have triggers.  But the issues that need to be paid attention to with the matchlock gun are still the same. According to Huangshi's own experiments, the loading speed of this flintlock gun is much higher than that of the matchlock gun. It takes about half the time to load the matchlock gun.  In addition to the shooting speed, the flintlock can also use a smaller fire door and a larger medicine tank because it uses a non-open flame.  The power is naturally significantly improved compared to the matchlock gun.  "The contents of this gun are nothing but flint and steel, both of which we have." Huang Shi asked everyone to take the gun back and study it carefully. They must carefully copy each part and figure out its function: "Since  If the Westerners can make it, we can, too. I hope that within a few years, the entire army can be replaced with this kind of flint gun.¡± In Huang Shi¡¯s impression, the principle of the flint gun seems to be similar to that of the flint in a lighter.  But it would be really difficult for Huangshi to build it himself.  In fact, even with this ready-made sample in front of Huang Shi, he still couldn't quite understand the principle of the flint gun.  But Fortunately, this is not a problem that Huang Dashuai needs to consider. Changsheng Island has so many blacksmiths to solve this problem.  Huang Shi boldly asked loudly: "Do you have confidence?" The people in the Changsheng Island Military Industry Department replied confidently: "Don't worry, sir. We are confident." Huang Shi smiled and said: "Okay, I have confidence in you too."  before mass production is possible.  The cost of the flintlock will definitely be higher.  But if a person could travel from the 21st century to the 1990s, no matter how expensive the Internet stocks were at that time, he would buy them in large quantities because this is called foresight.  Huangshi's advantage lies in his foresight. Almost all the money he earned on Changsheng Island was spent by him impatiently, and Huangshi's subordinates were accustomed to this.   On the same day, Wei Zhongxian, the capital's master, was sitting on the Taishi chair next to the table. He was holding a gift list in his hand. In the hall where he started, there was a middle-aged man in the attire of an eunuch, Wei Zhongxian, who just glanced at the gift list and put it gently on the table.  It seemed that he didn't care at all about the ten thousand taels of silver above.  Seeing Wei Zhongxian's eyes turned back, the middle-aged man immediately knelt down on the ground again and kowtowed and said: "Master Yuan, I wish you nine thousand years of peace and prosperity." "Just get up." Wei Zhongxian's tone was still calm and completely listened.  I don't know what he was thinking.  Before the slave chief Hongli burned the house records and said that Yuan Chonghuan's family had no money left, Yuan Chonghuan had a reputation for having a lot of gold in the late Ming Dynasty. The official gold for ordinary officials was only a few taels to dozens of taels of silver, but Yuan Chonghuan took action whether it was against Xiong Tingbi or Sun Chengzong.  Even Sun Chengzong and others did not dare to accept the gift of several thousand taels of silver.  As for Yuan Chonghuan's subordinates, Xie Shangzheng, Yu Dacheng, Cheng Zhiben and others, they all received large sums of money from Yuan Chonghuan and publicly regarded themselves as Yuan Chonghuan's deceased soldiers.  Wei Zhongxian also has a good memory. He remembers the recruitment incident the year before last: Yuan Chonghuan took 200,000 taels of internal currency to recruit new soldiers. After a lot of trouble, he recruited the navy from Guangdong and the garrison soldiers from Huguang. In the end, he only recruited soldiers from Huguang.  Guangxi recruited an unknown number of new recruits. After all the trouble, no one can tell how much it cost.  In the end, Yuan Chonghuan¡¯s ownThe chapter only reported an account of 60,000 taels of silver: he recruited 3,000 Guangxi soldiers and each soldier paid a settlement fee of 20 taels of silver (the normal settlement fee was 50 taels per person, which increased to 10 taels in Chongzhen years).  The figures reported by Yuan Chonghuan were two to four times the normal amount) and the remaining 140,000 taels were unclear.  Yuan Chonghuan tried to avoid the verification of this batch of expenses.  He also declined the generals sent by the imperial court to lead the army and handed over all the troops to his "dead man" Xie Shangzheng to lead. So how much money did he spend and how many soldiers were recruited?  They can only listen to Yuan Chonghuan's decision.  This time, during the first battle of Ningyuan, Yuan Chonghuan reported that more than a thousand soldiers he recruited died while defending Ningyuan Fort, and another 20,000 taels of silver disappeared from the world.  According to Wei Zhongxian's experience, this method is called "fishing in troubled waters." If the hush-hush fees of the relevant people are not included, Wei Zhongxian estimates that Yuan Chonghuan earned hundreds of thousands of taels of silver just by relying on this effort.  "You don't need to say more, I understand the thoughts of the governor of Liaodong." Wei Zhongxian has already read Yuan Chonghuan's memorial.  He also greatly praised Huangshi's trip to Liaoyang and deeply regretted that Huangshi could not bring back Nurhaci's super class.  In addition, they also vigorously propagated that it was the mainstream view among Hou Jin people that everyone in Hou Jin Dynasty would tremble and accept the surrender.  Wei Zhongxian knew very well that Yuan Chonghuan would never surrender now.  First of all, Huangshi has inspired the fighting spirit of the Ming Dynasty and created a voice in the government and the public. Secondly, if Houjin really surrenders now, all the credit will fall on Huangshi alone.  No one would praise the ministers who came to persuade Hou Jin, because everyone believed that Huangshi's prestige was enough to convince people far away; in the end, only Huangshi, a shining example, was still in Liaodong, and the others would no longer be able to win huge prestige through military exploits.  .  Now, as a civil servant, the only chance to make a mark in Liaodong seems to be to take a ride from Huangshi, but Mao Wenlong will not be given an increase in pay for a day.  Mao Wenlong would not let the Chief Secretary of Shandong and the civil servants of Liaodong Dusi Prefecture get involved in the military achievements of Dongjiang Town for a day, so even if everyone wanted to take advantage of Huangshi, they couldn't.  The people below knocked heavily again: "Nine thousand years old, you can see thousands of miles clearly." Whether it is the cabinet, the six ministries, or the Shandong Chief Secretary and the Liaodong Dusi Mansion, they have various considerations, but one thing is for everyone.  Civilian consensus.  That is, Huangshi must leave Liaodong and the sooner the better.  These days.  Tianqi, who is sitting high on the throne, is always very happy. What he sees is a bright and good situation. What he sees is that Huangshi earns face for him, which makes the civil servant group who have always criticized him have to praise his foresight.  But Wei Zhongxian felt the undercurrent surging under this scenery. This power was so abundant and powerful that even Wei Zhongxian found it difficult to match it.  "Bring a message back to the Governor of Liaodong for our family." "You must keep it in mind if you obey." Wei Zhongxian smiled and lightly scratched his fingernails on the gift list: "Tell the Governor of Liaodong that he has done well in Ningyuan and Juehua this time.  It's very good, and we appreciate it very much, so we happily accept this gift." "It is a great honor for the governor of Liaodong to be honored at nine thousand years old." Wei Zhongxian nodded slightly and calmed down the smile on his face.  He became serious: "It's just that our family can't agree to the request to build a shrine for the time being. Go back and tell the governor of Liaodong, just say it's our family's request: work hard and get the affairs of Liao done. Don't say it's a shrine to Liaodong."  Even if the governor wants to establish two or three families, he will not refuse." "Thank you for nine thousand years" The person who came said that he wanted to thank you.  "Wait a minute." Wei Zhongxian coldly interrupted his gift and his tone further changed from serious to stern: "This time our family will ask the governor of Liaodong to remove the stumbling block for his promotion and wealth. But this is not because he is respectful to our family.  It's because our family trusts the strategy of the Governor of Liaodong. But if the Governor of Liaodong disappoints our family and betrays our family's trust, then he will never even think about being a county magistrate again in this life. Wei Zhongxian then shouted again: "You!"  Do you understand?  " "It's the nine-thousand-year-old man who understands.  "  The next day Wei Zhongxian quickly finished his government affairs and took them to report to Tianqi early. Then he diligently helped the emperor with the carpentry work. Wei Zhongxian pushed the other little eunuchs aside.  He rolled up his sleeves and went to work, running back and forth to hand Tianqi a hammer or move a piece of wood. With Wei Zhongxian, a caring person, helping Tianqi do the carpentry work, he quickly finished the piece he was going to build today.  The fountain head was built. Wei Zhongxian quickly rolled up his trousers and put the fountain head on the rockery together with a few eunuchs. When he jumped off the rockery and ran back, the emperor was sitting on a chair and resting in sweat.  It was soaked through. The emperor was already happy these days. He lazily pointed to a bench and said, "I'm tired after a long day of work. Sit down!"  " "Thank you, Long Live Lord".  "Even though it was already early September, Wei Zhongxian's forehead was dripping with sweat after all this hard work. He sat down heavily on the bench and breathed heavily. "Give the factory minister a cup of tea.  Warm.  " "Thank you, Long Live Lord.  "Wei Zhongxian was not too polite in front of Tianqi. He took the tea cup and drank it in big gulps. This frank action made Tianqi laugh and shout to the side: "Wei Qing, drink slowly to avoid choking.  " "Long live the Lord." Wei Zhongxian placed the tea bowl heavily on the coffee table. At the same time, he wiped the water droplets from his mouth: "This time Huang Shuai failed to bring back the slave chief. As a result, the cabinet refused to agree to meritorious deeds for Huang Shuai.  I feel deeply sorry for Huang Shuai.  " When Tianqi heard this, he was stunned and saw Wei Zhongxian saying impassionedly: "Long live my Lord, the last time I fought against Juehua, the ministers and cabinet ministers were sitting in the capital.  All have received awards, but Huang Shuai's merit cannot be considered to be above the first level.  This time, Huang Shuai went deep into the tiger's den to perform extraordinary feats, but returned without any reward for his subordinates. This would probably chill the hearts of the frontier soldiers.  "The emperor looked down at the teacup in his hand. He turned it around on the coffee table and let out a long sigh: "Oh.  Isn't that what you said? But this is indeed an ancestral system, and what the cabinet said makes sense.  " "Today, Wei Chen argued for Huang Shuai again and the cabinet still used this ancestral system to argue. Wei Chen couldn't say it, so they came back. Just thinking about it carefully, he found that Huang Shuai could no longer be granted a title no matter what.  " "Huh?  Hearing this, Tianqi raised his head and looked at Wei Zhongxian in surprise: "How do you say this?"  " Wei Zhongxian then talked about the issue between Huang Shi and Mao Wenlong. Although Ping Liao was a great success, being granted a title of marquis is almost the end of it. Since Huang Shi is under Mao Wenlong, Mao Wenlong must be the title of marquis and Huang Shi is probably just a uncle: "Huang Shuai is loyal and righteous.  Although it is admirable to be willing to live under Mao Shuai, it is a pity to receive this reward.  If Long live the Lord insists on conferring Mao Wenlong as a duke and a minister, the cabinet will probably use the ancestral system to refuse the imperial edict.  " "Yeah, yes.  " Tianqi thoughtfully raised his cup and took a sip of tea with a look of helplessness on his face. Wei Zhongxian had previously suggested that Tianqi marry Prince Fu's daughter to Huang Shi, but Wei Zhongxian never found a suitable opportunity to confront Huang Shi.  The first time was when Huangshi was going to conquer Princess Juehua. Of course, Princess Juehua could not be a weakling. The second time, Yuan Chonghuan wrote a letter and talked about the problem of Miss Zhao Er. At that time, since Huang Shi agreed to it, the emperor could not bring it up immediately; now, Miss Zhao Er  The matter has not yet been settled, and neither Huangshi nor the Zhao family have mentioned the matter of regretting the marriage or pushing forward the marriage. Naturally, the emperor cannot rob the marriage or ruin the marriage, so the matter has been postponed. ¡°Of course the princess cannot be a small child if the two are big.  The prince and princess may not be willing and" "And it's too disrespectful to the Wang family.  " Tianqi accepted Wei Zhongxian's words calmly. Although according to the Ming Dynasty's ancestral system, girls in the clan will not marry prominent civil servants, but they are far from being unable to marry into a good family. If this kind of thing spreads, it will probably be troublesome.  The censor pointed at the emperor's nose and scolded him. Tianqi said: "Fortunately, the news has not been revealed yet. This matter needs to be discussed in the long term. Whether it is successful or not is still in question.  " "Long live the Lord, seeing that Wanli Weimin has already sent someone to inform Prince Fu, the news will not leak out.  "    "Um.  " Tianqi responded lightly, knowing that his plan to confer a title on the excuse of the clan would probably fail again. He thought for a moment and showed some displeasure on his face: "I have indeed wronged Huang Shuai.  " Wei Zhongxian secretly glanced at Tianqi's face and estimated that the heat was almost done. He stood up and walked behind the emperor and whispered: "Long live Lord Weichen, I have a humble opinion, but I don't know if it is feasible.  " "It's okay for Wei Qing's family to just say it.  " "Since the founding of the Han Dynasty and the rebellion, no one has done more than Mao Shuai and Huang Shuai.  Needless to say, Marshal Huang is also praised by people all over the world for his hard work and merit.  One day after the Liao affairs are settled.  If the second commander-in-chief of Dongjiang cannot be ennobled as a marquis, the ministers will be afraid that the hearts of future generations will be chilled, and it will be detrimental to the ancestors' country.  Therefore, I think so.  Both of them should be generously given the best of both worlds as a sound policy.  " Tianqi nodded repeatedly: "Not bad, not bad, but how can we get the best of both worlds?  " "Long live the Lord, please forgive me for making this bold statement: Today, in addition to Liaodong, there is another place in the southwest where the military merits of the Marquis can be bestowed in the world.  " Tianqi's brows gradually furrowed. He turned to look at Wei Zhongxian and asked, "Does the factory minister want me to transfer Marshal Huang to the southwest?  " "Long live Lord Mingjian.  Yesterday, Wei Chen carefully read the report of Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong. The prisoners were very frightened and wanted to surrender because they were tired of the war.  Wei Chen also thought that with Mao Shuai and Huang Shuai, they could restrain the tail of Jianlu and prevent them from going west.  If both are true, it would be a shame to kill a chicken with a bull's-eye.  " Tianqi turned his head back and thought about Wei Zhongxian's words. He also murmured softly: "Kill the chicken with the bull's knife, kill the chicken with the bull's knife.  " "Long live the thief (An Bangyan) in March this year"He led tens of thousands of troops to cross the river and invaded Weiqing, Guiyang and other places, but was defeated by Wang Shi.  But when Thief An returned to Shuixi, he took a large number of young and strong thieves with him.  A few days ago, the governor of Yunnan, Min Hongxue, made a memorial to pacify the thieves. He then gathered the number of thieves, which numbered more than 100,000, with the intention of violating the Qing Dynasty again.  Tianqi snorted: "A small chieftain can actually stir up a big wave. What else did Min Hongxue say?" "Back to Long Live Master Min, he also said that She Chongming had arrogated the title of 'King of Daliang'. Ye Xiao gathered the thieves Kou Shiwan and  The thieves are working together to resist Master Wang." Wei Zhongxian saw Tian Qi's face getting darker and darker, so he took the opportunity to put together a bunch of reports about the recent warnings. Anyway, he would pick the one with the most people.  "Two hundred thousand thieves?!" Tianqi was frightened when he heard this. He turned around in surprise and asked, "When did the incident in the southwest of Wei Qing's family get to this point? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" "Long live the Lord back."  This is the military information that has just been reported, and Wei Chen has not confirmed it, and he cannot say that it is definitely true. However, the more Wei Chen thinks about it, the more he feels that Huang Shuai should be transferred to the southwest. This is to prevent Wei Du. Even if the military information is true, as long as the southwest is true.  The two thieves Huang Shuai and An were unable to change the situation. If the local officials were exaggerating, Huang Shuai's bravery would have killed them casually. " This time Tianqi was silent for a long time and nodded lightly.  .  "Wei Chen thought that Yu Gong said: The Liao Dynasty can only be pacified in a matter of seconds. Nanzhili also said: If Huang Shuai is transferred to the southwest of She'an one day earlier, the rebellion in the southwestern provinces can be put down one day earlier, and the officials and people of the four southwest provinces can enjoy peace one day earlier.  In private terms: In this way, Mao Shuai and Huang Shuai can give the Marquis Long Live to them without feeling that they have been treated unfairly. " "Wei Qing's words make sense." Tianqi patted the coffee table hard and smiled at Wei Zhongxian.  He said: "It's not selfish. Isn't it true that a loyal minister like Huang Shuai is not rewarded? How can he convince the world and future generations? Wei Qing's family is always loyal and diligent in state affairs. It's good and good!"  "It's stupid." "Well, Wei Qing, you don't have to be too modest. Have you told the cabinet about this?" "I don't know if this is a good idea."  He shook his head and smiled and ordered Wei Zhongxian loudly: "This is a good idea. I like the Wei Qing family very much. Let's go and talk to the cabinet. If they agree to transfer Huang Shuai to the southwest, let them draw up the votes immediately and then hand it over."  The Director of Ceremonies approved the matter. ""According to the decree!" On the night of September 5, the sixth year of Tianqi, the core members of the eunuch party gathered together to discuss the future of Huangshi.  In the past, when Huang Shi refused to speak, it was hard for everyone to steal people and credits from Mao Wenlong. But this time, Tianqi's golden-mouthed cabinet was just doing things according to orders. No matter how arrogant Mao Wenlong was, he did not dare to say anything wrong with the emperor.  Gu Bingqian first squinted his eyes, twirled his long beard and shook his head. Then he suddenly opened his eyes wide and said, "If Huangshi is to be completely transferred out of Liaodong, then his military status cannot be left in Dongjiang. Otherwise, he can be transferred at any time."  Maybe his military exploits elsewhere will be counted as Mao Wenlong's when he comes back." Wei Zhongxian, who was in the middle, glanced at him: "What can Mr. Gu do?  He was transferred to the south to be the chief military officer. Huangshi's servants and generals were also transferred with him, and soldiers from the Dongjiang Town Zuoxie battalion could accompany him. In this way, even if he was transferred back later, they would not be soldiers from Dongjiang Town.  I won¡¯t let Mao Wenlong take all the credit.¡± ¡°That¡¯s a great thing, Mr. Ge,¡± Feng Quan applauded behind Gu Bingqian.  As long as the soldiers of Dongjiang Town are not responsible for the strategic planning, the civil servants can naturally get a share. Although Huangshi's performance before the Juehua War last time was not good, his reputation is generally good.  Feng Quan said: "Huang Shi is said to be well-informed and far less unreasonable than Mao Wenlong. Dongjiang's elite are all in the Left Association. If Mao Wenlong still has the same bad temper in the future, we will transfer Huang Shi back to Pingliao and won't give him any credit!"  "Well, then we will be sent from the south to the southwest to quell the chaos in Liaodong. The governor can calm down the Liao affairs. But if it doesn't work, we will transfer Huangshi back at worst. It's foolproof." Ding Shaoshi laughed out loud as he spoke. This is the best way to deal with it.  But the resentment of the civil servant group was finally released.  "Then where should I be transferred?" The three cabinet ministers went through the roster of the Ministry of War. Finally, Feng Quan found a vacancy in the thick Ministry of War files: "General Officer Guarding Fujian."  One of the chief military officers guarding Fujian was formerly the deputy general military officer. In the 42nd year of Jiajing's reign, he was stationed in Funing Prefecture.  There is one garrison general (called Nanlu garrison general), three garrison generals, a total of seven people, and one camp officer.  Facing the people in the room, Feng Quan introduced: "In the Wanli year, the Imperial Dynasty defeated Japan and Korea. After that, Japan implemented a strict maritime ban, so the Japanese pirates' arrogance was greatly reduced. This general soldier has been vacant for many years. For Huangshi, it is also a perfect match."  ???It was designed just for him.  " Wei Zhongxian thought about it and felt quite satisfied with this arrangement: "Well, let's make a vote and change Huangshi to Pinghai, Beiwa, and guard the Fujian general military officer. He will return to the Fujian Chief Secretary, control the imperial horse supervisor, and supervise the eunuch Wu Mu, as the guard officer.  ¡± Looking at the cabinet Wei Zhongxian who was busy drafting votes, he was very satisfied with his operation this time. Almost everyone had to admit their own situation. Whether it was the cabinet, the Sixth Ministry, or officials from Liaodong and Shandong, Wei Zhongxian did something this time that made everyone happy.  Everyone was satisfied with the matter, and Emperor Tianqi was once again moved by Wei Zhongxian's "loyalty and diligence." "Then the title was awarded to Huang Shi.  "Wei Zhongxian took a deep breath. No matter what he said to Tianqi, he still had to do what he said, otherwise the emperor would not be able to explain it: "Imperial envoy Pingnan acted for convenience, was sealed as the general of the vanguard of the barbarians, and was the admiral of Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou.  , Chief Military Officer of Guangxi.  "
