Chapter 2019
Hong Chengchou shook his head slightly and said: "Emperor Tianqi was addicted to wine and sex, and his body was already hollowed out. It was only a matter of time before he died, but he didn't expect it to come so soon."
"Fortunately, I heard that this King Xin is a strict self-discipline. After he ascends the throne, he will definitely not be as messy as Emperor Tianqi and Emperor Taichang." Liu Heng said with a smile.
After hearing this, Hong Chengchou looked up at Liu Heng and said immediately: "King Xin's ascension to the throne may be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty, but it is not a good thing for the Tiger Character Banner."
King Xin's performance made many civil servants optimistic, and Hong Chengchou himself was one of them.
If he had not already joined the Tiger Banner, he would probably be like most of the courtiers now, glad that King Xin had taken over the throne.
"Mr. Hong, do you think Daming can still be saved?" Liu Heng asked.
Hong Chengchou hesitated for a moment and then said: "It's hard to say, it might be better, or it might be able to maintain the current situation and accumulate strength."
"Then let's see how King Xin will govern the world after he ascends the throne." Liu Heng, who is familiar with the trend of history, believes that King Xin Zhu Youjian will never become a prosperous king just because of his own existence.
Hong Chengchou added: "No matter what happens to King Xin in the future, now is an excellent opportunity for our Tiger Character Banner. The Lord can take this opportunity to capture the Ningxia Sanwei and Shanxi Xingdusi."
"It's time to harvest the autumn grain in one month. It's time to take action and capture the entire territory of Shaanxi." Liu Heng made the final decision and then said, "Zhao Wu, please issue a document with the attendants and order them to station in the first battle."
The military divisions and personal divisions sent out troops."
After waiting for so long, it is time for Shaanxi to be captured, otherwise the Tiger Character Banner will not be able to enter Sichuan, Henan and other places.
"Yes." Zhao Wu left and went to the attendant team to give orders.
Liu Heng stood up from his seat and walked to the map on the wall.
There are two maps hanging on it, one is the map of the entire Ming Dynasty, and the other is the grassland map that Zhao Wu hung up in the morning.
"Then we'll see if the Second Battle Division can bring back good news." Liu Heng looked at a location on the grassland map.
Far away on the grassland, the Second Battle Division and the Cavalry Division, as well as the Mongolian cavalry of the Tumut Department, were on a high ground on the grassland.
In a large tent in the camp.
Zhang Hong of the Second War Division, Ma Yunjiu of the Cavalry Division, Halbala of the Tumote Division, several deputy divisions and the chief of staff were gathered around a table.
"Have you found the whereabouts of Chahar's troops?" Zhang Hong asked Harbala.
Although the Tiger Banner has been operating on the grassland for many years, the people who are most familiar with the grassland are the Mongols themselves, and Harbala, as Taiji of the Ulut Tribe, is very familiar with this grassland.
Therefore, the search for the Chahar army was left to the Mongolian cavalry of Harbala and Tumote.
"Zu Dashou." Gao Di said a name, "This person has always been the leader of Yuan Futai, and he is also Yuan Futai's right-hand man. He must know about Yuan Futai's slave trade."
Liu Zhao's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this and asked: "Are you sure that he will identify Yuan Chonghuan?"
"This!" Gao Di hesitated.
Zu Dashou was a close confidant of Yuan Chonghuan, so he could not easily betray Yuan Chonghuan.
Liu Zhao looked disappointed when he saw his look, and immediately asked: "How did you know about Yuan Chonghuan's slave transfer?"
Since Zu Dashou's road was not easy to navigate, he thought that the person who told Gao Di the news must have some evidence.
Moreover, as long as there was ambiguous evidence, he would be sure to remove Yuan Chonghuan and put his hands into Liaodong's military affairs.
"I finally heard this news from a businessman." Gaudi lowered his head.
Businessmen are often the best informed.
"What merchant? Where is he? Have you brought him here?" Liu Zhao asked.
Since Gao Di couldn't tell Zi Mao Yin Chou, he wanted to find a breakthrough against Yuan Chonghuan from the businessman the other party mentioned.
"The businessman has left." Gaudi's head drooped even lower, almost buried in his chest.
Snap!
Liu Zhao, who was sitting in the main seat, slapped his palm heavily on the table and said coldly: "You actually let this businessman escape for such an important matter. What do you do for food? Is your head all muddled?
"
If he had a knife in his hand now, he would have liked to kill Gao Di with one blow.
Such a good opportunity to move Yuan Chongguo away just slipped away.
"Mo, when General Mo just learned the news about Yuan Futai's tongnu, he thought it was false, so he wasted some time and waited for General Mo to react before looking for someone. The person had already left." Gao Di defended himself in a low voice.
.
If he hadn't wanted to please the governor of Jiliao in front of him, he still wouldn't want to believe that the man who created the Ningyuan victory would engage in slavery.
"Have you never thought that someone was deliberately concealing the audition and causing discord among the governors?" Liu Zhao asked scoldingly.
The businessman Gao Di talked about ran away after leaking the story about Yuan Chonghuan's slave purchase. He began to doubt whether the story about Yuan Chonghuan's slave purchase was true or false.
Of course, if the businessman is caught, even if Yuan Chonghuan does not have a slave trade, he will pin Yuan Chonghuan on the slave trade.
Unfortunately, there is no evidence left. Even if he reported it to the court, the court would not believe him and might even reprimand him for it.
Gaudi hesitated and said: "Probably not! There is no need for the other party to deceive the general."
"Stupid, what if the merchant you are talking about was sent deliberately by the thief chieftain, just to put me at odds with Governor Yuan Chonghuan and give them an opportunity to attack Ning Jin," Liu Zhao said in a suggestive tone.
.
When Gao Di heard this, his face turned pale and he said: "So the general is being deceived!"
"I'm not necessarily completely lying to you." Liu Zhao thought for a while and said, "If there is no basis at all, it will be useless to tell Hua Hua. I guess there should be something going on between Yuan Chonghuan and the thief chieftain."
Gao Di said: "The ministry can send someone to summon Zu Dashou. He must know about Yuan Futai."
"It's no use looking for Zu Dashou, and it's impossible for me to really torture a general." Liu Zhao shook his head, and immediately showed a stern look on his face, saying, "If there is no evidence, then I will find one."
Gao Di looked at Liu Zhao in confusion.
Liu Zhao looked at Gao Di and said: "You arrange for people to spread the news about Yuan Chonghuan's slave-hunting, and find a way to let more people know that three people make a tiger. Even if it is a lie, I will make it true."
of."
"The general will arrange for people to spread the news right now," Gaudi said.
As someone who had taken refuge with Liu Zhao after he took office, his life in Liaodong will only get better if Liu Zhao gets better.
