Chapter 426 Li Court Sweeping Holes! Shut up!
"Ma Shiying!"
Zhang Gui stared at the sand table for about a while, and didn't answer Zhou Yuji, but just called out directly.
Before Zhang Gui left the customs to supervise the division, he did not choose the traditional method of being recommended by others.
Many self-proclaimed high-minded civil servants are still unwilling to approach Zhang Gui, who is a foreign relative, and are still not interested in Zhang Gui's open recruitment method.
However, there are still many civil servants who are willing to do things or want to follow Zhang Gui's way to get ahead.
Ma Shiying, who was then an official of the household department, was one of the officials who took the initiative to sign up.
Zhang Gui chose Ma Shiying.
There is no other reason. In Zhang Gui’s view, historically in the Nanming period, he was able to win power in Jiangnan where many officials of the Donglin Party occupied the home court. The suppression of the Donglin Party had to obey him, and forced the Donglin leader Shi Kefa Ma Shiying, who went to Yangzhou, undoubtedly had some tricks.
What Zhang Gui needs now is a few more smart people who can calculate to be his confidants.
It is not enough to rely on the gentlemen in history.
After all, although a gentleman will remember his kindness because of his recommendation, he will still be unwilling to give up his principles for him, Uncle Zhang, in the face of big right and wrong.
Otherwise, there would be no need for Wen Tiren to advise him on getting rid of Ma Guangyu cleanly.
Zhang Gui also discovered because of this incident that officials who were said to be treacherous officials in history are actually very fragrant to use sometimes.
So, he resolutely promoted Ma Shiying to be the newly established Liaodong Zuobu Political Envoy, and went out with him, and managed the front-line food and grass, the democracy movement and the work of contacting the capital for him.
Following Zhang Gui's order, Ma Shiying opened the curtain of the camp tent and came in. He didn't care to shake off the snowflakes on the red robe, and said: "Please give orders!"
Because civil servants value the title of grand master very much, Ma Shiying also prefers to honor Zhang Gui as grand master.
After Ma Shiying said this, Zhang Gui ordered: "Use my seal to write an urgent letter to the Nine Thousand Years of the Capital and the Chen Ge Department, and directly order to cut down the censor who impeached President Zhou! Tomorrow The decree says that officials are not allowed to talk about the commander-in-chief before the end of the military affairs, so as to disturb the morale of the army, this law should be followed!"
"yes!"
Ma Shiying was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly agreed.
Affected by Tianqi’s rent-seeking of power to Zhang Gui due to his royal interests, Zhang Gui has in fact held the same power as Zhang Juzheng, that is, he can directly order the chief minister and the cabinet to act according to his will.
Zhou Yuji and Ma Shiying also knew about this.
It’s just that what Zhou Yuji and Ma Shiying didn’t expect was that Zhang Gui would be so decisive and ruthless in the matter of Yu Shi’s military affairs.
The army is on fire, so naturally Zhou Yuji can't stop Zhang Gui from doing this for himself.
Naturally, Ma Shiying would not disobey Zhang Gui, even if he wanted to persuade Zhang Gui not to do so, he would not persuade Zhang Gui face to face.
After the urgent delivery was sent back to the capital, Wei Zhongxian sighed: "Uncle Guo!"
Then, Wei Zhongxian asked the cabinet ministers present: "Gentlemen, who among you will vote for this plan?"
Chen Zizhuang stood up suddenly and said: "This matter is extremely difficult to decide. The officials should not be good at discussing military affairs if they are conniving, but they dare not be so harsh. Uncle Zhang Guo treats civilian officials as military officials, so he will kill if he says he wants to kill him?"
"Let me draft a ticket."
Wen Tiren stood up and said something.
Then, Chen Zizhuang looked at Wen Tiren in surprise.
Wen Tiren didn't look at Chen Zizhuang, but just took the censor's playbook from Wei Zhongxian's hand, walked to his case, drew up a note, and quickly wrote a striking word "cut", and then I wrote down other content requested by Zhang Gui.
Wei Zhongxian looked at Chen Zizhuang's dazed look, smiled slightly, and after Wen Tiren handed over the memorial, he was more respectful to Wen Tiren: "Everyone said that Ge Lao knew the general, but now our family found out that the rumors are indeed true."
"Where is where."
Wen Tiren said with a smile.
Wei Zhongxian took over Wen Tiren's drafted memorial, immediately approved the red, and then ordered Jin Yiwei to get the censor.
The censor who was good at discussing military affairs and impeaching Zhou Yuji was quickly shown to the public.
When the censor heard the will to kill him, he didn't understand how he could be beheaded just by beeping a few words.
But no matter what, from then on, the other speakers resolutely chose to shut up.
Zhang Gui and Zhou Yuji are here, commanding the army to exterminate the front line of Jiannu, and they have not been disturbed by any rumors from officials.
The army of more than 100,000 troops not only did not accelerate the occupation of Hetuala directly because of the smooth march, but withdrew back in an orderly manner one after another. Even the small army of slaves who were harassing everywhere did not pursue it, but only set up camp on the outskirts. Pull up a circle of barbed wire.
At the same time, the armies of the Ming Dynasty picked out their elites after a rest, and went deep into the villages and villages of Jiannu to arrest people in full armor.
"Kneel down and don't kill! Kneel down and don't kill!"
The coats of Jiannu, that is, the serfs are mostly Han Chinese who were exiled or taken captive, but they can understand Chinese, and some even understand Chinese characters. Therefore, when the elite of the Ming army went deep into the villages of Jiannu, they still pulled When the banners were used to arrest people, these slaves knelt down obediently, by the side of the hut or by the ridge of the field, and were then **** and taken away by the Ming army.
At the same time, after the Ming army captured these people, they set fire to the villages and villages. All the farmlands were opened up, and the young crops were directly cut off by the soldiers organized.
When the Ming army withdrew and the Jiannu flag soldiers hiding in the deep mountains came out to look out, they found that the nearby villages in the mountains and forests where they hid had long been deserted, and even the wells were blocked with mud and dung.
"It's really vicious!"
When Jierhalang learned of this situation, he gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the tree trunk beside him, causing the snow to fall down.
Although Jiannu Jurchen was originally a fishing and hunting nation, influenced by the Han civilization, it has already evolved into an agricultural regime, relying more on agriculture, otherwise, it would not be able to maintain tens of thousands of soldiers.
Therefore, Zhang Gui and Zhou Yuji's tactic of destroying their fields, cutting off their seedlings and exterminating their households was a drudgery against Jiannu. No matter how calm Jierhalang was, he couldn't be calm.
"I thought that the Ming army would be eager to take Hetuala because of greed for merit, so that they would be exhausted from the long journey, and the supply line of food and grass would be lengthened, and even divide the troops to guard each village, so that we could give us a chance to defeat each of them. But I didn't expect , They are not in a hurry to occupy Hetuala, and they don’t want to separate the villages, but directly burn the villages and destroy the fields! This Zhou Yuji is Zhou Yuji after all, and he is indeed much stronger than the Juniper and Liu Ting back then!"
Gang Lin couldn't help saying something aside at this time, and couldn't help frowning and stuffed a handful of snow into his mouth.
Like the nobles of the Eight Banners like Jierhalang, he has already experienced the rich life of the Han bureaucrats after following Nurhaci in the capture of Liaoyang, Shenyang, and Guangning in the Ming Dynasty in his early years, and his taste has also drank all kinds of hot names from the south. Tea is used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas, so it is already a very painful thing for him to escape into the deep mountains and old forests to eat snow to satisfy his hunger and thirst like his ancestors did.
But now that the Ming army has destroyed wells everywhere, he now has to endure the pain.
After Ganglin said this, Jierhalang said: "The more important thing is not this Zhou Yuji, but since the Ming Dynasty has that Zhang Guojiu, there is no civil servant restricting the generals in front! Logically, They haven't taken Hetuala for so long, it's time for some officials to impeach them! Or does it mean that those officials in the court have really learned to shut up now?"
