Chapter four hundred and fiftieth court discussion
"Zhang Xianzhong left Gucheng, and Li Zicheng also came out again. Where are those officials, what are they doing? What is Xiong Wencan doing? What is He Renlong doing?"
Chongzhen was furious, with veins popping out on his face: "We were still outside the Pass, and we were completely defeated. We lost all our troops. Zu Dashou was defeated, and Hong Chengchou, who I had placed infinite high hopes on, was also defeated. How many more defeats will they have to fight before they are willing to give up? Is it true?
Do you want Zhen’s head to be given to the bandits and Jinlu?”
"Your Majesty, calm down." Zhou Yanru, the chief minister of the cabinet, said hurriedly.
"Calm down, calm down, I have no anger anymore." Chongzhen actually smiled at this time, but his smile was very bitter: "I have high expectations for you ministers. I always hope that you can do something for me and do something for the court.
, but all you bring to me is disappointment again and again. I don’t understand, is it because I don’t give you greater rights or greater trust? Why do you always let me sleep?
What’s wrong?”
Several ministers were silent, no one dared to speak.
Chongzhen was silent for a moment and picked up an urgent report at hand: "This is from Fujian. Fujian used to be as stable as Mount Tai, but it is no longer the same now. Within a few days, I received several urgent military reports from Fujian...
...In this case, Zheng Zhilong's nephew Zheng Hong came forward to accuse Zheng Zhilong of connecting with Jinlu and conspiring to rebel. I didn't believe it before, but I thought that although Zheng Zhilong was a pirate and was unruly, he never had any intention of rebellion.
, he was quite conscientious in his work. But these two military affairs came again. Okay, okay, Zheng Zhilong directly rebelled..."
Everyone in the imperial court has known about this for a long time, and everyone is silent.
Zheng Zhilong's rebellion was so unexpected. No one had thought that there would be any trouble in Fujian before. But just when the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil, Fujian stabbed the court again.
Zhou Yanru gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, although there is a rebellion in Fujian, in addition to Zhang Kentang, there is also the Ming Dynasty's most powerful general, Ding Yunyi, who is stationed in Taipeng. Maybe it can be put down overnight, right?"
"Zheng Zhilong is entrenched in Quanzhou and has three thousand warships. I'm afraid it won't be easy to pacify." Deng Yulie, the Minister of Civil Affairs, said: "Ding Yunyi's courage is the courage on land. Although he has the courage to defeat the combined fleet of the four countries.
Wu Lie, but there is still a big gap between his fleet and the Zheng family fleet..."
"Ding Yunyi, Ding Yunyi." Chongzhen suddenly sighed: "When the Central Plains was in emergency, I transferred him to the Central Plains. When the border was in emergency, I transferred him to the border again. Now Fujian is in emergency, and they rely on him. I can't wait to transfer him to the border."
He treats it as three people. But in my court, is it really only Ding Yunyi who can use it?"
Who dares to intervene at this time and ask for trouble?
"Report, urgent report from Fujian Governor Zhang Kentang!"
Wang Chengen, who remained silent all the time, took the urgent report from Zhang Kentang and presented it to Chongzhen. Chongzhen looked at it with a gloomy expression on his face, and there was even a hint of anger in his eyebrows.
All the ministers below were frightened. Enough things had happened, could there be another trouble?
"Good Ding Yunyi. Good Ding Yunyi!" Chongzhen suddenly threw the memorial on the dragon case: "We just talked about Ding Yunyi, and now Ding Yunyi has caused trouble for me. Dear gentlemen, do you know what is written in this urgent report?
?”
He smiled coldly: "Fujian Governor Zhang Kentang urgently reports that Ding Yunyi has disobedient intentions!"
As soon as the words came out, everyone in the room was shocked. This was really unexpected news.
In addition to being famous for his bravery in the court, Ding Yunyi is also famous for his loyalty. No matter what the court asks him to do, he always has no regrets and works hard. From Fujian to the Central Plains, and from the Central Plains to Liaodong, if it weren't for this person, he would have failed again and again.
A bloody battle. I'm afraid the situation in Ming Dynasty is no longer what it is today...
But today, is this brave and loyal general going to rebel?
Chongzhen's eyes were gloomy: "In Zhang Kentang's excerpt, it was said that Ding Yunyi had recruited troops and greatly expanded his power in the past few years, and he had no longer paid attention to him as a governor. This time Zheng Zhilong rebelled, but gave Ding Yunyi an excellent opportunity.
Here we go again? The ministers couldn’t help but look at each other.
After reading the new emergency report, Chongzhen was furious and slapped the memorial: "Okay, very good, Ding Yunyi is really going to rebel!"
This new memorial reports that Ding Yunyi was arrogant and domineering, blatantly not allowing any troops except his Tiger Guards to enter Quanzhou, and even detained the troops Zhang Kentang sent to Quanzhou in advance, and at this moment Xiamen also
Once it fell into his hands, Zhang Kentang's power couldn't get in at all.
Chongzhen's cold eyes fell on Ding Yunyi's father, Ding Yuanzhao, the right minister of the Ministry of War: "Ding Yuanzhao, that is your son, how do you defend your son?"
Everyone thought that Ding Yuanzhao would kneel down to plead guilty, but Ding Yuanzhao was not afraid at all: "Your Majesty, my son, I know very well that Ding Yunyi will never rebel against the imperial court!"
Ding Yuanzhao was so calm and calm that Chongzhen was startled for a moment.
Ding Yuanzhao said calmly: "I am willing to give Master Xiang a guarantee, and I will never rebel."
"Humph, you have so much confidence in your son..."
"Urgent news from Fujian!" Before Chongzhen finished speaking, such a voice came again.
All the ministers couldn't help but smile bitterly. Fujian was really lively today.
Chongzhen was too lazy to read: "Wang Chengen, tell me what happened in Fujian."
Wang Chengen took a quick look and said, "Your Majesty, this is an urgent report from Ding Yunyi..."
"Oh, Ding Yunyi?" Chongzhen was a little surprised: "What did he say again?"
"Wu Liebo, General of the Fujian Army, General of the Hussars, Ding Yunyi, impeached the Governor of Fujian, Zhang Kentang..."
It’s lively, it’s really lively today. The discussion was originally about the military situation in the Central Plains and border areas, but who would have thought that it would be completely overshadowed by the emergencies that appeared one after another in Fujian... When Wang Chengen said these words, everyone
The ministers thought so in their hearts.
"Zhang Kentang, the governor of Fujian, was arrogant and violent. He was domineering and entrenched in Fujian, causing harm to the local area and persecuting loyal people. The people complained and the army was furious. The harm was far greater than that of Zheng Zhilong. If this thief is not eliminated, Fujian will never be able to live in peace.
....."
Following Wang Chengen's voice, the ministers felt uneasy. You said he was domineering, and he said you were domineering. I'm afraid only the person involved knows what happened.
"In addition to Ding Yunyi, those who jointly impeached Zhang Kentang include Quanzhou prefect Ye Yuanxian, Huben guard supervisor Lu Qicheng and others."
Chongzhen fell silent.
Ye Yuan was Ding Yunyi's brother-in-law, and his family helped to speak for his family. Of course, it was excusable, but Lu Qicheng was sent by himself to monitor Ding Yunyi, and now that he has said so, this matter may not be that simple.
In fact, from his heart, although he does not trust Ding Yunyi that much, he always hopes that Ding Yunyi has not rebelled. Distrust is distrust, but he knows very well that Ming Dynasty will never find anyone like Ding Yunyi.
people.
Such a brave general, such a general on whom I have placed infinite high hopes...
Chongzhen said slowly: "Zhang Kentang impeached Ding Yunyi, and Ding Yunyi then impeached Zhang Kentang. Who do you think is disobedient and who is causing harm to the place?"
"It must be Ding Yunyi without a doubt!" Deng Yulie said immediately: "Zhang Kentang has always had a reputation for being honest, how could he harm the place as Ding Yunyi said? Your Majesty, I sincerely request that Ding Yunyi be removed from office and be escorted back to the court for trial in order to uphold the law of the country!"
Yang Sichang, the Minister of War who had just returned from the Central Plains to supervise the war, snorted coldly: "Master Deng, why are you so sure? You, Master Deng, and Zhang Kentang are from the same hometown, why do you always speak for them? Ding Yunyi's loyalty and bravery are known to the world, who can say that?
I believe anyone who is treasonous, but only Ding Yunyi. It is absolutely impossible to say that he is treasonous!"
Then, he played loudly: "Your Majesty, Ding Yunyi has fought countless bloody battles and almost lost his life several times for the imperial court. No matter what the imperial court asked him to do, he never had any reason to refuse. Could it be that he would suddenly rebel? Besides,
Is there any reason for the Quanzhou magistrate and the Huben guards and supervisors to impeach Zhang Kentang together? I sincerely request that Zhang Kentang be removed from office and re-select capable officials to go to Fujian!"
Chongzhen was a little embarrassed. At this time, he didn't know who to believe...
Ding Yunyi or Zhang Kentang?
"Great victory in Quanzhou! Great victory in Quanzhou!"
At this moment, this urgent cry attracted everyone's attention!
"The great victory in Quanzhou! On the sixth day of May, Ding Yunyi, the general soldier of Fujian, mobilized all the elite Tiger Guards to attack Quanzhou. Ding Yunyi went to the front line in person, took the lead, and fought bloody battles. On the twelfth day of May, Wu Liebo, the general soldier of Fujian, the upper guard army, and the hussars
General Ding Yunyi's Tiger Guards launched the most ferocious attack on Quanzhou! Zheng Zhilong was defeated and withdrew from Quanzhou!"
"Ah - OK!" Chongzhen was startled and shouted out happily. The angry suspicion towards Ding Yunyi just now disappeared without a trace.
Yang Sichang also had a smile on his face.
Ding Yunyi, Ding Yunyi, whenever the most critical moment comes, Ding Yunyi will never disappoint. No matter what critical situation arises, as long as this person exists, he can always create unexpected miracles...
But Ding Yuanzhao's brows frowned deeply for some unknown reason...
"My lords, this matter is a bit troublesome now." Chongzhen said: "From the sixth to the twelfth day of the fifth lunar month, Ding Yunyi captured Quanzhou in only six days. If such a general is really a loyal minister,
That is the blessing of my Ming Dynasty."
Ding Yuanzhao suddenly trembled in his heart... The emperor used the word "seize", which showed that he still did not trust Ding Yunyi in his heart, and still suspected that Ding Yunyi might rebel...
.
Ding Yuanzhao was a little confused. Why did his son fall out with Kentang Zhang to such an extent? What exactly happened?
"Great victory! Great victory!"
It's really exciting today. First, the impeachment memorials kept appearing, and then the good news kept appearing. Fujian is really interesting. Before, it was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, but if something doesn't happen, it's almost breathless if something happens.
"On the first day of June, Wu Liebotin and Ding Yunyi personally led the Huben Guard Navy and fought a decisive battle with the Zheng Family Navy at Liaoluo Bay! The artillery fire from both sides was extinguished at each other, and thousands of ships competed. At the critical moment, Commander Ding used the Chinese army to attack and quickly defeated the enemy.
, the left and right wings advanced together, unstoppable, the Zheng family navy was defeated miserably! The main force of the Zheng family navy is finished!"
When the word "finished" came out, the whole court cheered!
Ding Yunyi, Ding Yunyi! Only this Ding Yunyi can create such glory! From land to sea, he is present in every battlefield.
He has never been defeated. As long as he appears on the battlefield, victory is guaranteed!
Chongzhen smiled, but then his smile flashed away. Indeed, Zheng Zhilong's rebellion was put down in such a short period of time. It was extremely gratifying that the Zheng family navy, which was once so huge and thought to be invincible, was defeated so completely.
But Chongzhen immediately thought of another question:
Who else in Fujian can contain Ding Yunyi's power?
Judging from the performance of the Battle of Quanzhou and the Battle of Liaoluowan, the Tiger Guards have become unshakable. Zhang Kentang is definitely not his opponent. Then the situation of mutual containment of the three forces that he has worked hard to manage in Fujian will be
It also collapsed suddenly.
Ding Yunyi, I really hope you are a loyal minister. If so, how much worry can you share with me?
Chongzhen was a little disappointed, but at the same time, he had great hope in his heart...
"Good news... good news..."
Hearing this voice again, everyone felt a little numb. Today there was great sadness at first, but then more and more good news came.
Now, what good news has arrived?
"The remnants of Zheng Zhilong were besieged on Suolong Island. Wu Liebo and Ding Yunyi led his troops in a fierce battle. Zheng Zhilong was defeated and died! Your Majesty, the rebellion in Fujian has been ended!"
"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty!"
"This is a blessing to His Majesty and a blessing to the court!"
In an instant, the congratulatory voices of the ministers rang out, and it seemed that everyone had forgotten any rebellion related to Ding Yunyi.
Ding Yuanzhao quietly raised his head and looked at Chongzhen. He found that Chongzhen didn't seem to see much happiness on his face.
He sighed softly in his heart. The more achievements he made, the more likely he would be jealous of the emperor. What he said was true.
The son is different from Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang. They are all under the emperor's nose and can be monitored at any time, but the son is far away in Fujian, and the emperor's hand cannot reach there.
Chongzhen was silent there for a long time, and then said calmly:
"There are both bad things and good things today. I am a little tired. The court meeting will end here for now. Dear gentlemen, please retreat now. If you have anything to do, wait until tomorrow!" (To be continued Piaotian Literature Registered Member
