How to make a famous minister

Chapter 80

For Fan Xuanchao, Yuan Chonghuan was actually not very famous, after all he was a science student.Yuan Chonghuan is not tested in the history test.

But after traveling to the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Chonghuan's reputation with Fan Xuanchao suddenly became louder.First, there was a high voice among the people, and then it was Sun Chengzong's recommendation. However, the reason why Fan Xuanchao remembered this person was his strategy of restoring Liaodong when Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian recalled him from Liaodong.

The first is to vigorously build the Tuntian Fort, which is a strong city and heavy artillery, as the military basis for counterattacking Houjin.

The second is to advance Tuntian Fort step by step to achieve the purpose of encroaching on Houjin's territory and weakening Houjin's strength.

The third is to support the people and soldiers in Tuntianbao, weaken the opponent's strength, and at the same time strengthen its own strength, and finally achieve the purpose of forcing Houjin to surrender.

If things go well, give him five years and give me a complete Liaodong back to Daming.

Fan Xuanchao didn't have any talent for military affairs, and he couldn't understand the problem, but he saw Zhu Youjian's unpredictable expression, and gave Mangyu silver coins.

Although Fan Xuanchao doesn't understand military affairs, he understands Zhu Youjian's expression. Although he is giving jade and silver now, Fan Xuanchao just doesn't feel that he appreciates Yuan Chonghuan very much.Instead, it seems that for some reason, she tolerated him.

After Yuan Chonghuan left, Zhu Youjian asked Fan Xuanchao with a smile: "Have you understood Yuan Shangshu's three strategies for Ping Liao, Han Yuan?"

Fan Xuanchao shook his head honestly, "I don't have the slightest talent for military affairs. I just listened to Yuan Shangshu's analysis, and I only have a little thought, but I can't draw any conclusions."

"If you have any ideas, why don't you just say them and give me a reference." Zhu Youjian encouraged.

Fan Xuanchao thought for a while, organized his words, and then said: "Although Yuan Shangshu's three strategies of Ping and Liao are well-founded, but after thinking about it, I feel that there are still variables in it. First, Hou Jin will really let us step by step Can they successfully encroach on their land? Second, how many villages can be built in just five years, and can it reach the point where Houjin surrenders?"

Yuan Chonghuan's strategy of Tuntian Fort actually took shape in the Song Dynasty.When Fan Zhongyan fought against Xixia in the northwest, he built Dashun City, and based on Dashun City, he built garrison walls bit by bit, penetrating into the border of Xixia.And these villages are all relying on Dashun City, which is close to the border of the Song Dynasty. The various villages are mutually supportive and support each other, making it difficult for the Xixia people to remove them.

But the two are different.For one thing, Fan Zhongyan had no vain attempt to build a walled city throughout Xixia.Second, the Song Dynasty had money to support Fan Zhongyan's actions.Probably compared with the Song Dynasty army, the Ming army has one more capable of fighting.However, Fan Zhongyan's team was also the part that was more capable of fighting among the weak Song Dynasty troops.

Seeing that he said so much in one breath, Zhu Youjian blinked his eyes, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said with a half smile but not a smile, "Han Yuan said so much, but he still said that he was 'not good at military', so those who praised Yuan Chonghuan as a Those who became the number one general of the Ming Dynasty have become... useless?"

For example, the self in the previous life.

Fan Xuanchao didn't say that to Zhu Youjian, he knelt down and said: "I don't dare, I just said it casually, it cannot stand scrutiny."

Zhu Youjian saw that he knelt down towards him at every turn, and felt unhappy, but also distressed, and quickly helped him up, "There are no outsiders here, so you don't need to be so polite."

If you weren't the emperor and I'm a subject, if it wasn't for the Ming Dynasty, who would kneel...kneeling to someone they like?It's not that he doesn't want to, but this extremely unequal relationship makes it difficult for him to get close to Zhu Youjian. He can only put himself in the position of a courtier and put him in the position of the emperor.

After a long time, the relationship between him and Zhu Youjian can no longer be defined by the lover or love standard of the previous life.

"Since Han Yuan also has such doubts, why don't you ask Yuan Shangshu." Zhu Youjian didn't notice Fan Xuanchao's inner entanglement at all, but was instinctively dissatisfied with his sweetheart kneeling back and forth for him— —It’s not that you haven’t seen how much I dote on you, and I’m not a monarch like Wei Linggong, so why deliberately use etiquette to separate the two of us?

Yuan Chonghuan had already left Qianqing Palace for some distance, and he was born as a martial artist. He was very different from the crispy fighting scum like Fan Xuanchao. Fan Xuanchao hurriedly shouted: "Yuan Shangshu stay!"

Fan Xuanchao finally caught up with Yuan Chonghuan out of breath. The two greeted each other and exchanged a few pleasantries. Then Fan Xuanchao asked, "Yuan Shangshu, just now I heard your Ping-Liao strategy in the Qianqing Palace, and my humble minister was enlightened. Cheerful. There are only two things that failed to understand your plan. I came here to ask for advice."

After hearing this flattery, Yuan Chonghuan said triumphantly: "It's just some humble opinion of this old man in Liaodong for many years, thanks to His Majesty's willingness to adopt my strategy. If Fan Tongzheng envoy has any questions, just ask directly, and this old man will definitely know everything. "

Fan Xuanchao then asked Yuan Chonghuan those two questions respectfully.

After hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan stroked his little goatee with one hand, and put one hand behind his back. After thinking for a long time, he said, "When the time comes, just adapt to the situation."

Fan Xuanchao: "...Then what you said, the five-year flat Liao...?"

"It's just to comfort His Majesty."

You haven't walked out of the palace yet, you just said that you were just coaxing the emperor just now, you are so courageous, you will die a miserable death, do you know that?

Yuan Chonghuan patted Fan Xuanchao on the shoulder, "Later Jin is a serious problem for our country. General Sun and I don't think about how to pacify Liaodong and Shengjing. This Tuntian Fort is also my painstaking effort for many years."

——I am loyal and capable, so don't think about how to knock me down, Wei Zhongxian was helpless to me back then!

Fan Xuanchao: Was it said that the ancient times were foolish and loyal?Will he still bully you?

On May 29, Yuan Chonghuan went to Daoling and visited the Dragon King Temple.That night, Mao Wenlong arrived.On the fourth day of June, Yuan Chonghuan paid more than [-] soldiers of the Dongjiang Army.On the fifth day of June, Yuan Chonghuan counted Mao Wenlong's [-] major crimes and wanted to kill him.Mao Wenlong resisted to the death, and all the soldiers under Mao Wenlong's command on the island quickly captured Yuan Chonghuan and others.

Although Yuan Chonghuan had already made preparations that he might face a desperate situation if he could not simply kill Mao Wenlong this time, when he and his entourage were taken down by Mao Wenlong in one fell swoop, he couldn't help sighing: "We have the intention to clean up the rebellious ministers and thieves for your majesty, but we can't bring them back." ah."

On the other side, Mao Wenlong was also worried about how to deal with Yuan Chonghuan.Kill it directly, and then cut it first and then play it. Yuan Chonghuan is another Shangshu, and he is very favored by the emperor when he comes in.Don't kill him, let him go, I feel unbalanced.It's a dilemma.

At this time, one of Mao Wenlong's generals said: "The general has been stationed in Dongjiang all the year round to contain Houjin. If there is no general, Huang Taiji will not know how many times he has gone south. The general's credit must be remembered by the emperor. Why don't you report this matter to the general?" Holy hearing, please make a decision. The general is in the emperor's heart, and the emperor is not a person who does not know right from wrong, so he will deal with it fairly and give you an explanation."

Mao Wenlong felt that what he said was reasonable, not to mention that Yuan Chonghuan didn't have any will that could represent the emperor's will, and this move was probably his own idea.Before Yuan Chonghuan wanted to kill him, he pretended to be here to pay the army to buy people's hearts.

It's a pity that the friendship between his subordinates and him has been born and died for so many years. Could it be possible to buy each of them for a mere penny?

However, if His Majesty sees that he almost died... just give him more military pay.These generals of the East contained them in the rear of Huang Taiji, and it was difficult to deliver the military pay and food, and most of them could not be guaranteed.So Mao Wenlong would "occasionally" rob their good friend - North Korea.

Apart from focusing on the army, Mao Wenlong racked his brains with all the soldiers every day, thinking about where to earn some money and food.Therefore, when Yuan Chonghuan wanted to kill him this time, Mao Wenlong's first reaction was not to ask Emperor Chongzhen to avenge his wrongdoing, but whether the court could send some pitiful food and grass for him to be wronged so much that he was almost beheaded.
