Chapter 321 The New Wind Movement has involved a big fish
After Dorgon finished talking to Hong Chengchou, he quickly held a military meeting and announced the strategic adjustment plan.
The Manchu and Qing nobles who participated in the meeting rarely unanimously agreed with the strategic training. They were serious about fighting on the front line. After two or three years of contact with the new army, they knew what the situation was like. Under the Ming army's muskets and grenades
No matter how elite the Manchu and Qing warriors were, they would not be able to take advantage. The war certainly could not be fought like this.
In late September, Liu Yuanbin and his colleagues discovered that the main force of the Qing army was retreating. Within a few days, most of the Qing army withdrew from the Daning battlefield.
"Commander-in-Chief, the main force of the Jianlu forces is only over 20,000 on the battlefield, and the rest are all Mongolians. In this way, our pressure will be much less, and the matter of withdrawing some troops and horses back to the pass must be implemented as soon as possible.
." After most of the Qing troops withdrew, Cao Ruohai hurried over and suggested that Liu Yuanbin follow up.
"It is not a good thing for the Qing army to withdraw so early. The Jinzhou battlefield will probably face greater challenges in the middle of winter." Liu Yuanbin looked at the strategic situation map and drew a circle in the direction of Jinzhou.
"We need to report the changes to the capital as soon as possible so that they can prepare early. This winter, the Jinzhou battlefield is likely to face a main force of more than 50,000 bandits. If possible, it is recommended that the imperial court send another army division there."
"It's estimated that we won't be able to send that many troops. After the sea is sealed, it will be difficult for ships to transport supplies. In the military command hall's previous plan, there was no preparation for a garrison of 20,000 troops. Now that there is a sudden increase in troops, it will be difficult to realize it."
It was already early October when Liu Yuanbin and Cao Ruohai conveyed the accurate military information to the capital. It seemed that the sea route would be unavailable for another month, and in addition, it was difficult to hire ships at the port in recent times.
As a result, we could only transport another brigade of soldiers, horses and related supplies to Jinzhou.
Can Jinzhou with nearly 10,000 troops withstand a thunderous attack by the Qing army? Anyway, the former enemy commander-in-chief Ren Shuangyou is confident.
The Military Command Hall is making urgent preparations for the Battle of Jinzhou, which is likely to start in the twelfth lunar month. Chen Yan, the assistant to the cabinet, is also stepping up work for the upcoming twelfth lunar month. The twelfth lunar month means that the year is coming to an end, and of course it also means that the assessment of the year is about to begin.
Expand.
This year is the first year of the Ming Dynasty New Style Movement. As the person in charge, he has to report on his performance. The most important part of the plan Zhu Youjian made at the beginning of the year is to punish about two thousand officials. After more than half a year of work,
, Chen Yan found that the quota was almost completed, but the problem was that the completion of the task was flawed.
The flaw is that most of the shortlisted people are civil servants, and there are very few officials, especially officials with sufficient weight. Chen Yan feels that he can see the flaw in the list. With the current emperor's shrewdness, he must also be able to
You can see where the problem is at a glance.
You have to find a temporary way to make up for the flaws, otherwise the emperor will feel that he is ineffective and useless!
"Have you figured out who's situation is pretty much the same?"
"Assistant station, we have basically figured it out. There are more than thirty people involved, so that should be enough."
"How much of the embezzled project funds are there? Can there be any real evidence? Your Majesty is very disgusted with Kensi's behavior of making false claims. If you want to do something, you must make it real."
"Absolutely no problem! This person is also a coward. A full five hundred thousand taels of silver dollars have disappeared without a trace, and there is no way to cover it up. The people in the Supervision Department seem to have discovered the problem, and their people have been frequenting various construction sites.
"
"It seems that we have already taken action. You have prepared the materials and the officials will bring them into the palace tomorrow. Lift the lid first. There is such a case involving a second-grade official, it will be concluded successfully this year.
.”
Chen Yan's method of covering up flaws is quite sophisticated, and he will bring out a big case! As long as there is a big case in hand, no one will pay attention to the problem of too few officials on the list. Who can say that he is rectifying a high-ranking official?
Is the official style soft-hearted?
At noon on the second day, Chen Yan put the prepared information into his sleeves and walked into the palace with square steps.
"Is there something important for the bachelor to enter the palace?" When Zhu Youjian saw Chen Yan, he found that this guy's face was not normal. He felt like a soldier about to go to the battlefield. Was he going to fight?
"Your Majesty, since I was assigned to supervise the New Style Movement, I have been walking on thin ice with trepidation! Seeing that this year is coming to an end, I am very happy in my heart. This year, the officials of the country were frightened by Your Majesty's majesty and took action. The official style has changed drastically. Unexpectedly,
As the New Year is approaching, I discovered a shocking and important case! I am extremely ashamed and have come to apologize to Your Majesty."
If you just say that you have discovered a major case, won't it be closed? There are many twists and turns in the phone call, and the whole thing is quite mysterious. "Who is involved?"
"Pan Junhuai, Yin of Shuntian Prefecture!"
Pan Yongtu? This man Zhu Youjian has met several times. Now he is one of the most powerful figures in the court and the only official in the border area. Chen Yan tried to deal with him as soon as he made a move. It seems that he wants to stir up some trouble.
Jin showed it to himself.
"What's involved?"
"The main reason is corruption. Five hundred thousand taels of silver dollars allocated by the imperial court to Shuntian Prefecture to renovate the capital's drainage facilities disappeared. After I asked the Metropolitan Procuratorate to conduct a secret inspection, I found that the money was secretly shared by him and his cronies. This was involved.
There are more than thirty officials, big and small, in Shuntian Prefecture. It can be said to be a shocking case."
"Has half a million silver dollars been secretly divided by him? The secret report given to me by the Supervisory Department seems to be a bit more than this. The bachelor is finished and asked Kensi to check it carefully. The Jin Yiwei also has a secret report about this, and I will ask the Attendant's Office to report the relevant information later.
All the documents were forwarded to the bachelor. Judging from the reports from the three of you, Pan Yongtu's corruption of ink should be true. The case was supervised by the bachelor, sponsored by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and arrested by the Ministry of Punishment - tried in Dali Temple, and the case will be closed as soon as possible. "
Seemingly unintentionally, Zhu Youjian nodded to Chen Yan, "My news channel is not yours. You, old boy, need to have some snacks when doing things. Don't wait for the emperor to lift the table himself."
"Your Majesty, after it is verified that it is true, what should Pan Yongtu and his accomplices do?"
"The crime is determined by the law! Dali Temple will give him the sentence he wants. But when you interrogate this person, give him a message. If he confesses thoroughly, I will pardon his family and prevent them from risking their lives.
"
"Your Majesty's kindness is so great that I would put others to shame."
"Bachelor can hold this favor to himself, so that he can explain it to his colleagues. I hope that bachelor will pass on a few words to colleagues in the court. For all officials, big and small, who are currently serving in the court, I will put past the bad things that happened before the New Deal.
Since the beginning of the New Deal, officials, big and small, must have a new look, remain stubborn, and be punished severely. As long as the officials hold their hands and take steps forward, the Ming Dynasty will be revitalized. I will not treat the meritorious officials who participated in this event poorly.
I have also opened the door for civil officials to be awarded honors. Salaries and remuneration are now gradually increasing. I have also decided on the benefits for retirement. It is my promise to the meritorious ministers that they will have everything when they are strong, have something to support them when they are old, and have a worry-free life for the third and fourth generations.
.However, if you want to enjoy happiness, you have to pay something. There is no sweetness at both ends of the sugar cane, and the Bodhisattvas also have thunderbolts in their hearts. They can weigh what is more important or less important. Anyway, after the university is opened in Guangzhou, the country will not be short of officials!"
