Chapter 612: Sun Shoufa's Proclamation Anyway, The World Thinks About It!
"Gao Mingheng was still struggling to his death after the army entered Henan. He only surrendered after the city of Luoyang was defeated. This person's position in the advisory council should not be too high. He should be designated as a seventh-level executive! Chen Qiyu escaped from Taiyuan City to the rear.
If you are sincere in your investment, you will be designated as a sixth-grade walking. Chen Yongfu is not too stubborn, so he will be appointed as a standing committee member of the Counselor Hall and enjoy the treatment of the second-grade!" The war in the Central Plains has come to an end for the time being, and the finishing work has been stepped up.
Otherwise, the next work will not be easy to carry out! Determining the final treatment of the surrendered officials will be conducive to the subsequent development of the united front work.
"Your Majesty, except for these three main personnel, are all the appointments of other demoted officials going to the Counselor's Hall?"
"It doesn't seem appropriate to put them all in the Counselor's Hall. Let's put them all in the Counselor's Hall. Those who are over 45 years old can be put in the Counselor's Hall. Those under 45 can consider studying at a political training university and then be appointed as appropriate based on their performance."
"The affairs ministers assigned by the Consulting Hall to the province think it can be started now, otherwise as the war in the world progresses, many demoted officials will not be able to be resettled!" Wu Sheng recognized the resettlement attributes of the Consulting Hall, a nursing home for the elderly.
, but he felt that many people were not qualified to be Beijing officials, so it was better to establish provincial-level institutions as soon as possible, so that they would be more convenient to use.
No matter how large the number of idle officials are in the Council for Retirement, the number of idle officials will never increase. In terms of current fiscal revenue, this salary expenditure is just drizzle. But this thing can solve big problems. To put it bluntly, it is to give
Many people have left a way out, so that the political game is no longer a zero-sum game. Wu Sheng is now at the forefront, and naturally hopes that this system can be improved and continued.
"Well, Shuntian Prefecture and Beizhili can consider setting up consultation halls first. After this matter is over, the Prime Minister and Grand Master Zhou can follow the implementation."
After drinking tea with Wu Sheng in the inner hall office and discussing some important matters, Wu Sheng left the palace. Zhu Youjian was alone in deep thought.
The first phase of the Western Expedition was basically over. Zhu Youjian was a little undecided about what to do next. According to previous assumptions, the troops should march into Shaanxi next. But the actual situation was a bit tricky, and there were not enough troops. Sun Chuanting
In Shaanzhou, a solid defense line has been built along the Tongguan line, which would be very troublesome to attack forcefully.
How about sending a partial army to attack Shaanxi from the north of Shaanxi? But when he thinks of northern Shaanxi, Zhu Youjian has a headache. Like the Taihang Mountains, that place is easy to get in and difficult to get out. In addition, the traffic environment is very bad, and the government and army are now
The reliance on logistics is too high, and traveling from northern Shaanxi to Shaanxi is really not a good choice.
The reputation of Guanzhong Xingsheng is indeed well-deserved. This place is really a good place for separatist rule.
By the twelfth lunar month, the expansion work has basically been completed. Even if the newly expanded army's combat effectiveness is sparse, it will not be a problem, and it still has the ability to help control the local area. In other words, after entering the twelfth lunar month, military operations must be launched, otherwise we cannot let the second or third
A hundred thousand troops have been pressing down on the Central Plains and Shanxi, right?
Why don't we ignore Sichuan and Shaanxi for now and directly march south into Wuchang? Wait until other places are sorted out before planning for Sichuan and Shaanxi? No! Sun Chuanting is not a vegetarian. If there are not enough troops in the Central Plains direction, his hundreds of thousands of Qin troops will definitely move. Once they give up, Sun Chuanting is not a vegetarian.
If the Qin army re-enters the Central Plains, the situation will become too complicated. The current situation is not the same as the desperate struggle for survival in the past few years. Even if the steps are smaller, the situation cannot be out of control.
That's how people are. When they have nothing, they have no choice, just do it! Once they have too many bottles and cans, they become greedy and always want to do things perfectly. If they want it, they don't want it anywhere.
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent message from Luoyang." Just as Zhu Youjian was thinking about it and trying to find a perfect plan, Jin Yulin, the director of the attendant's office, came into the office with an urgent document.
"The emergency in Luoyang? But what happened?" Luoyang is now the headquarters of the former enemy. When there is an emergency, Zhu Youjian suddenly becomes concerned. Before he reads the content carefully, he asks what Jin Yulin is in general.
thing.
"Sun Shoufa, the former commander-in-chief of Hanzhong, issued a proclamation in Pingliang, announcing that he would break away from Sun Chuanting's control and directly obey the orders of the capital."
Sun Shoufa? This man Zhu Youjian has some influence from Mohu. It seems that he was the actual commander of the army who captured Gao Yingxiang alive. I haven't heard any news about him in these years, so I don't think he will make a big fuss when he shows up.
Zhu Youjian picked up the document and read it carefully. There was also a copy of Sun Shoufa's Pingliang appeal. In the appeal, Sun Shoufa used very strict language and directly accused Sun Chuanting of being a traitor and rebellious minister.
Not to be punished!
As for Sun Chuanting's positioning, in fact, Beijing has not directly given it a characterization until now. Zhu Youjian has always left Sun Chuanting a way out. Even now, he is still the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi and one of the few who has officially issued an imperial decree.
One of the generals, Beijing did not issue any further documents to revoke the relevant appointment.
But this time Sun Shoufa's message broke up the originally ambiguous relationship, and now it created a problem for Zhu Youjian. Sun Shoufa and the second grandson of Sun Chuanting had to take sides.
"A decree was made, and Sun Shoufa was granted the title of Prince Shaobao, General of the Ming Dynasty, and temporarily appointed as the commander-in-chief of the armies of Sichuan and Shaanxi. He was ordered to hold on to Pingliang City until the Western Expedition army entered Shaanxi to join forces. Another decree was made, and Sun Chuanting was revoked from all his posts in the court and Sichuan.
The local officials and soldiers in Shaanxi are temporarily under Sun Shoufa's control until the imperial court calms down the rebellion and the troops enter Shaanxi. Then, based on the actual situation, Xiang Ding will be appointed. Guards in brocade robes will pass the imperial edict to Sun Shoufa as soon as possible through intelligence channels."
"Order, Ma Youliang, to assemble the main force of 30,000 as soon as possible, cross the river from Yan'an to Shaanxi, and complete the rendezvous with Sun Shoufa's Ministry as quickly as possible, so as not to fall into a situation of fighting alone. Order Cao Ruohai, to send Sun Chuanting to the front line of Shaanzhou as soon as possible
The rebels have launched an attack to contain the rebels and prevent their main force from returning to Shaanxi to attack Sun Shoufa in Pingliang!"
He couldn't make up his mind, but others helped him make up his mind. Sun Shoufa's incident happened unexpectedly, but his move actually broke the strategic calm situation. Regardless of whether they knew they were ready or not, the troops and horses in the direction of Shanxi Central Plains must take action.
, you can’t just sit back and watch Sun Shoufa fight alone, right?
The intelligence did not reflect how many troops followed Sun Shuangzhi this time, but Zhu Youjian estimated that there would not be too many people following him to do things. Sun Chuanting was also a famous general after all, and had been running Sichuan and Shaanxi for nearly ten years. If all his subordinates were like
It's the same as Sun Shoufa, but he, a famous official and general, is a bit too wet!
But, having said that, Sun Shoufa did send a message anyway. As the imperial troops entered the Central Plains, the minds of the generals and officials who had some affection for the imperial court became alive. Sun Shoufa was the first to do so without obvious pressure.
As long as the general who is under control can handle his affairs well, there will be more available power to calm the war in the world.
