Li Chengliang's memorial was indeed submitted, and according to Li Chengliang's previous instructions, it was rushed to the capital for submission.
This incident was also quite surprising to the cabinet.
According to the experience of several cabinet elders, Gao Pragmatic does not seem to be a very strong-minded person. When he promotes something he wants to do, he will most of the time use two methods: forcing others with power, tempting with benefits, and of course more
Most of the time it's a two-pronged approach, but it's rarely straightforward and tough.
Even in the two battles of "Annan and Dingbei" that made him famous all over the world, his approach did not deviate from these two methods.
Before attacking Annan, he first mobilized the elites on land and water to seize Shenglong in one battle. After building up enough momentum, he immediately used coercion and inducement to win over the Mo family, and regarded Mo family as part of his own strength, and then launched the campaign to annihilate the Zheng family.
One battle.
Moreover, when attacking the Zheng family, he also stabilized the Ruan family on both sides, concentrating all his efforts on attacking only the Zheng family.
The same was true for the Monan War. First, they stabilized the two major allies of Han Naji and Zhongjin Hatun, and then persuaded Totok Chaterji, who was the most prestigious in the Tumut army, to destroy Xin'ai in one fell swoop, and then added
He had the power at hand and all parties worked together to fight Tumen.
It can be seen from this that he is more accustomed to advancing layer by layer and making progress step by step, rather than fighting with all his strength and going straight to Huanglong.
So this incident is very strange. Why did he directly confront Li Chengliang as soon as he went to Liaodong? He even wanted to lock up Li Chengliang's nephew as soon as he made a move, forcing Li Chengliang to invite himself to be a knight, and even tried his best to
Stop the younger brother?
When Zhang Siwei received the memorial, his first reaction was: Is there any misunderstanding here?
According to Zhang Siwei, there doesn't seem to be any deep hatred between Jingjing and Li Chengliang. Not long ago, Li Chengliang and his son had made great achievements under the command of Jingjing. Logically speaking, there wouldn't be any conflicts, right?
Even if a pragmatic new officer takes office, he will burn the three fires, but he is only a military officer in southern Liaoning. How much conflict can he have with Li Chengliang? The main area of activity of Li Chengliang, the chief military officer in Liaodong, is the area west of the Liaohe River, and even the east of the Liaohe River.
If you don’t get much, let alone Liaonan?
Zhang Siwei didn't quite understand. He was too pragmatic and didn't send anyone to inform him about the matter. He hesitated for a while about how to write the draft.
If Gao Pragmatic wants to lock up a guard commander according to usual habits, Zhang Siwei will definitely not care. If a commander is locked up, he will be locked up. What’s the big deal? Tiao Yuan directly replied: "That's the way to go."
The troops are ready to report, and a certain commander will patrol and investigate." That's all.
But since the commander is Li Chengliang's nephew, the situation is a little different.
Since the "West Huai East System", Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang have always played the leading role in the Eastern System. Among them, Qi Jiguang wanted to cover the capital, so his task was to hold on, while Li Chengliang played the heavy blow in Liaodong. In fact,
He did a really good job.
Nowadays, Xihuai and Dongzhi have achieved what can be said to be the "best" phased results - Xihuai has been completely completed, and the court's attention has been focused on Dongzhi. At this time, sending pragmatism to Liaodong was originally intended to ensure that Dongzhi was implemented
One step could make things smoother, but why did he have a falling out with Li Chengliang instead?
If this is not done well, Liaodong will be unrest, and it will give Tumen a rare chance to breathe!
Zhang Siwei hesitated, so he invited Xu Guo over for discussion.
After Xu Guo arrived, he read the memorial, thought for a while, and said with a slight hesitation: "Perhaps Qiuzhen wants the position of commander of the Fuzhou Guard?"
Zhang Siwei obviously didn't believe it and sneered: "Commander of the Fuzhou Guard? What's the big deal about a position with only a few thousand soldiers? Is it worth offending Li Chengliang for it? Besides, on the other hand, he really wants this position of commander, with
Li Chengliang can just say it. With Li Chengliang’s shrewdness, would he offend pragmatically for such a position?”
This is true.
Xu Guo frowned and was convinced, and suddenly hesitated.
After a while, he proposed a new possibility and said: "Then, I just want to seek truth and want to beat Li Chengliang..."
"I have also thought about this possibility." Zhang Siwei said slowly: "The only question is, pragmatically, why do you do this? He is not an envoy with full power now, but Jin Fuhai is building troops. What is the purpose of beating Li Chengliang? Let Li Chengliang do it?
Do you obey his orders honestly? But he only cares about Liaonan, what can he tell Li Chengliang?"
Xu Guo's heart moved, and he suddenly said: "Yuanfu, tell me...could it be that the emperor has something to explain?"
"Your Majesty?" Zhang Siwei thought for a while, slowly shook his head, and said: "The Emperor is very kind to the Li family. Yesterday, it was confirmed that Li Rusong will be appointed as the commander-in-chief of Shanxi... Father and son, commander-in-chief, this holy family
Not bad."
Xu Guo smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, Yuan Fu also has a pair of brothers as general soldiers. Although the Ma family brothers are not as famous as Li Chengliang, they are both in their prime, which gives them an advantage over the Li family.
."
The Ma family was from the right guard of Datong, and together with the Ma family and other Xuan generals who were affiliated with the Xuanfu, they generally belonged to the Gao Party-Jin Party Real School Alliance. Now the speaker of this alliance is Zhang Siwei, so Xu Guo said
Zhang Siwei has Ma Jin in his hands, so it is not an exaggeration to say that Ma Gui, the two brothers, is the commander-in-chief.
But obviously Zhang Siwei didn't care about the Ma brothers as much as Gao Pragmatic did to them. He just smiled casually and said: "Weizhen, what you just said reminded me. You said... The Holy One asked Li Rusong to be the commander-in-chief of Shanxi.
Doesn’t that count as appeasing Li Chengliang? I mean, if Pragmatic went to Liaodong, Li Rusong would go to Shanxi."
Xu Guo was a little surprised, thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No, Li Rusong may also be a general in the future, but in the eyes of the emperor, he cannot be compared with Qiu Zhen."
"What does the emperor mean?" Zhang Siwei asked.
Xu Guo thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "I'm afraid the emperor is suppressing the Li family."
"Oh?" Zhang Siwei was really surprised now. He sat up straight and asked: "Being promoted from the right deputy general of Shenji Camp to the powerful commander of one of the nine sides, is this still suppression?"
The Shenji Battalion is theoretically very strong. It is the "powerful force of the Beijing Camp". It is not only one of the main forces of what is commonly known as the "Forbidden Army" among the people, but also has an extremely large establishment. But...
Zhang Siwei and Xu Guogao are the elders. Who doesn’t know how bad the Beijing camp is now? The last time Li Rusong went to fight in the Monan war, did he lead soldiers from the Shenji camp?
Obviously not. The core force he brought was his own 3,000 servants, and the recruited troops were drawn from Shanhaiwei and Guangning Qiantunwei, which is equivalent to a portion of elite guards from Jizhen and Liaodong.
——The Shanhai Guards were one of the key troops trained by Qi Jiguang in recent years, and the Guangning Front Guards were also one of the elite Liaoxi Guards directly controlled by Li Chengliang.
This shows how bad the Jingying camp is: in such a crucial battle, everyone actually agreed that the Jingying camp cannot be moved - please don't do it a disservice.
In recent years, there seems to be only one person who dares to lead the Beijing camp, and that is Gao Pragmatic... But he only brought a thousand cavalry, and he also did not dare to send them out to fight tough battles, and only dared to let them follow them to fight soy sauce.
Most of the time it is used as a guard of honor.
Therefore, he was promoted from the right deputy general of the Shenji Battalion to the commander-in-chief of a town, one of the nine sides. This is a promotion and reuse no matter how you look at it.
But Xu Guo chuckled and pointed to the northwest: "Western Huai has been decided, is there a war in Shanxi? The emperor has released Li Rusong to Shanxi. What else can he, the commander-in-chief, do except sit in Taiyuan?"
