Chapter 1256 Lessons from the past
Second assistant Sun Chengzong followed Wen Tiren, seeing this situation, he wanted to say something in his heart.

But after thinking about it, he finally shook his head, left without saying anything.

These things in the Wenhua Palace began to spread in the capital before the imperial decree came out.As soon as the imperial decree came out, the whole capital immediately boiled.

In the Beijing yamen, Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao, uncle and nephew, sat in the back yamen.

"Uncle, if you have anything to say, just talk about it!" Cao Bianjiao looked at Cao Wenzhao in confusion and said, "This is Houya, I'm just your nephew!"

To be honest, it was a bit awkward for my uncle to become my subordinate.Especially this uncle, who brought him up single-handedly and trained himself in the army.

Cao Wenzhao didn't hesitate after hearing this, and immediately said: "Zheng Zhilong is just a naval commander. He used to be a pirate, but now, he can be knighted by virtue of his military exploits. Uncle thought, uncle is still young, and now he is in Beijing. The battalion also has no military merits to be made. And there are not many places where you can get military merits around Daming. If you miss it, you may regret it for the rest of your life. It’s not that uncle doesn’t want to help you, but the only place that’s nearby now is the Wa country. .Uncle thinks..."

Although his words were a bit confusing, Cao Bianjiao understood immediately when he heard this.When my uncle heard the recent news, he was a little tempted and wanted to fight for a future.I'm just worried that I might misunderstand, so I want to explain.

In fact, even if Cao Bianjiao didn't say anything, he still wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Cao Wenzhao.He knew what his uncle was capable of.In his opinion, his uncle is no worse than Man Gui, and even stronger than Man Gui in terms of courage.It's just because he didn't have a good opportunity to perform in the Guan Ning Army before.Although he was promoted to the general army in the end, he was not knighted, which is the general's regret after all.

Cao Bianjiao himself was also killed from the battlefield. For him, whether it is dangerous or not, these are all nonsense.As a soldier of Ming Dynasty, how can he care about danger or not!Therefore, he interrupted Cao Wenzhao's explanation, and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't worry about my nephew. If our Cao family can have two earls, my nephew would be very happy!"

Speaking of this, he said to Cao Wenzhao seriously: "Uncle, if you have a decision in your heart, let's do it!"

Hearing this, Cao Wenzhao showed a gratified smile on his face.It is the best that my nephew can support me!

Unexpectedly, before he left, Cao Bianjiao's personal guards came over and said, "Uncle, General Wu is asking to see you outside!"

General Wu, that is, Wu Sangui, is now under Cao Bianjiao, the general of the Beijing Army.Not knowing what was going on, Cao Bianjiao said to Cao Wenzhao: "Uncle, I don't know what he wants to do with my nephew. My nephew will come whenever he goes!"

When Cao Wenzhao heard this, he naturally nodded in agreement.

After drinking half a pot of tea, Cao Wenzhao saw Cao Bianjiao came back, and quickly asked, "What does he want from you?"

If Cao Wenzhao was in the Beijing camp, his nephew was the general of the Beijing camp, so he naturally supported him [-]% of the time, and his nephew's leadership of the Beijing camp was easy.But now that he has decided to apply for transfer to Liaodong and is no longer in the Beijing camp, he is a little worried about what will happen to the Beijing camp.At this moment, he was naturally very concerned about what Wu Sangui wanted to do with his nephew.

When Cao Bianjiao heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "He came to talk to my nephew, and said that he also wanted to be transferred to Liaodong to participate in the war against the Japanese!"

"..." Cao Wenzhao was speechless after hearing this.

But after thinking about it, it is not difficult to understand why Wu Sangui also wanted to go to war.

You know, in the past, when Wu Sangui became the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, his nephew was just a small guard.Until my nephew voted for the new army, became a division general, became the emperor's trusted general, participated in the war against the captives, wiped out the Jian captives, and was awarded the title of earl and served as the general army of the Beijing camp. This completely overwhelmed Wu Sangui.

How could Wu Sangui be reconciled to this kind of thing happening.Now it is estimated that as long as he makes enough military achievements, the emperor will not hesitate to award him a title.Seeing that there were not many opportunities to make military achievements, I couldn't help but want to be transferred to Liaodong.

"Then you agree?" Cao Wenzhao asked after recovering.

Before Cao Bianjiao had time to speak, he saw his confidant came over again and said: "Uncle, General Li, please see me!"

When Cao Wenzhao heard it, he was surprised, and said a little speechlessly: "Isn't it possible that Li Guo also came for this matter?"

"Nephew go out and have a look first!" Cao Bianjiao said with a helpless smile when he heard this.

Seeing that he turned to leave, Cao Wenzhao immediately reminded: "He is also the emperor's confidant, so don't make things difficult for him."

The emperor was very fond of Li Guo, especially Li Dingguo, Li Guo's clansman, who was trained by Huo Qubing, a hussar general of the Ming Dynasty.Therefore, although he knew that his uncle and nephew were also the emperor's confidantes, he still reminded him.

Cao Bianjiao's footsteps stopped, and then he replied "Got it", and then went to Qianya again.

This time, before Cao Wenzhao finished his half pot of tea, he saw his nephew came back, so he stood up and asked with a smile, "Could it be that he also wants to earn military exploits?"

In the local army, if they don't go to war, according to the emperor's latest will, they can also join the engineering army. According to the completion of the project, they can also earn military exploits, but the weight of military exploits is halved.

However, it is impossible to reorganize the Jingying, which guards the capital, into an engineering unit.Therefore, if the Beijing camp does not fight, it will have no military merits.Glory is enough glory, but if a soldier doesn't have military merits, then there's no use for him!

It is for this reason that Cao Wenzhao felt that his guess was almost inseparable, and Li Guo also had the same idea as him.

Cao Bianjiao listened, nodded, but then shook his head and said: "He did put forward his idea to his nephew, and wanted to go out to fight. But he didn't want to fight the Japanese country, but to fight Tsarist Russia. He said that the Japanese country, If there are too many monks and too little porridge, it is better to go to the far west.”

Li Guo is from Shaanxi, and he doesn't want to fight the island country, but goes to the far west, which seems to be conditional.After hearing this, Cao Wenzhao couldn't help but shook his head and said: "In this way, if the emperor agrees, you will have to worry about the Beijing camp!"

It is not an easy task to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army when there is no battle to fight.

Cao Bianjiao heard this, and replied with a smile: "It's okay, uncle. Actually, as far as my nephew is concerned, my nephew wants to go out to lead the army to fight! It's just that His Majesty entrusted the post of the general army of the Beijing camp to my nephew, and my nephew has to Guarding in the capital."

"Well, our Cao family can have today, thanks to His Majesty Long En!" Cao Wenzhao nodded solemnly after hearing this, "You have to remember one thing, in the future, you will be alone in the capital, and you must not make friends with anyone in private, especially Civil servants, don't even bother with them. If you want to do it, you only have His Majesty in your heart, understand?"

"Nephew knows!" Cao Bianjiao nodded solemnly after hearing this.

Compared to them, Zu Dashou was drinking at home.

At this time, he finally figured it out.

Back then, I did such a stupid thing, although the emperor really didn't pursue it.But from then on, there is no real power anymore.

Although he looks like a fellow governor of the Dudu Mansion, he has a fart.Later, he temporarily took over as the General Army of the Beijing Camp, but at that time, the Beijing Camp was just a sham, and the elite capable of fighting were all in the new army, and the new army was not under his own control.After the extermination of the Jianlu, the Jingying has become a real elite, but the Jingying General Army is gone.Anyway, all in all, I have never really mastered military power at all.

Alas, what a pig brain back then, how could he do such a thing!Thinking of this, Zu Dashou couldn't help but drank another glass of dull wine.

Now the world is peaceful, and there are not many military exploits.Without military exploits, it is impossible to be knighted!And to have military exploits, one must lead troops to fight!However, he will definitely not be able to obtain military power, so how can he talk about military exploits?
Alas, I blame myself for being so bumpy back then!
Zu Dashou felt extremely remorseful, while drinking alone, he suddenly heard a servant say that his nephew Wu Sangui had come to visit.

Before he had time to get up, he saw Wu Sangui running excitedly into the back garden, and the first time he saw him, he said excitedly: "Uncle, the emperor agreed to transfer my nephew to North Korea!"

After he said it, he realized that his uncle seemed to have a sad expression on his face, as if he was drunk, and he couldn't help being a little stunned.

After hearing Wu Sangui's words, Zu Dashou seemed to have been pricked in his heart again, but remembering that this was his nephew, the only hope of the Zu and Wu families, he felt a little better, so he stretched out his hand and asked Wu Sangui to go to him sat down.

After pouring him a glass of wine, Zu Dashou forced a smile and said, "Come on, come on, uncle wishes you success in no time and wins the kung fu of destroying the Japanese head!"

"Thank you, Uncle!" Seeing this, Wu Sangui was delighted, and quickly responded, picked up the wine glass and drank it down, lit the bottom of the glass, and then regained his excitement, "Thinking about it, the nephew got Dorgon's head , maybe you can also get a chance to be knighted!"

Hearing this, Zu Dashou nodded and said: "Dorgon is a false emperor who is full of remnants of the Qing Dynasty, and his head is indeed valuable. But you have to remember one thing, it can be regarded as uncle's advice to you!"

"Please speak, uncle! My nephew will definitely listen!" Wu Sangui corrected his attitude immediately after hearing this, and sat upright, as if listening attentively.

Zu Dashou looked at his nephew with a serious face, and said very seriously: "Going out this time is one of the few opportunities. You have to remember, don't make any claims on your own, and obey the military orders in everything, and don't make any decisions. Anything against His Majesty's will!"

In the future war against Japan, the emperor will definitely issue an order in principle.He was afraid that Wu Sangui would ignore the emperor's will for a while in order to grab credit.Therefore, he just had this opportunity to remind his nephew.

Wu Sangui was taken aback for a moment. He heard his uncle's tone, emphatically emphasizing the words "don't make up your own mind". Thinking of his uncle seeming to be drunk before, and thinking of his past events, he suddenly had a clear understanding. Wu, he finally knew why his uncle was unhappy.

So, he immediately nodded solemnly and said: "Don't worry, uncle, nephew knows the importance. Even if you want to make decisions without authorization, it must be based on the emperor's will. The emperor is wise and powerful, and my nephew will never do stupid things!"

When Zu Dashou heard it, he felt his heart ache again. Can you not make it so obvious?

"Come, come, uncle toast you again!" He held up the wine glass, pretending to be happy and said, "Uncle is very pleased that you know this, much better than your father!"

"Better than uncle!" Wu Sangui added silently after hearing this, "There are two lessons learned from the past, how could I make such a mistake again!"

Of course, on the surface, he didn't dare to reveal the slightest thought in his heart, so he picked up the wine glass and drank with his uncle.

The two of them didn't know that the factory guard reported this discussion to the higher authorities that night.After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen just smiled and didn't express any opinion.

The upcoming battle of Ming Dynasty is to send troops to the Wa Kingdom, attack the Far West and defend the Mughal Empire. Now only the generals of the Ming Army know about it, and it is impossible for ordinary people to know about it.Therefore, the hot topics of ordinary people in the capital are different from the focus of these generals.

"The current emperor is really a benevolent emperor through the ages. He knows how to care for the people, and he didn't conscript labor on a large scale to build roads like Qin Shihuang!"

"No, the railway is indeed very good. But the emperor actually wants to reform the army, use the army to build roads, and reduce the labor of the common people. Since ancient times, there has never been such a thing!"

"That's right, there is also Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, who also built the Grand Canal to benefit the country and the people, but he completely ignored whether the people could bear it. Instead, he caused resentment among the people, and finally caused the country to perish. This kind of emperor Compared with the current emperor, it is really a ground, a sky, completely incomparable!"

"Aren't you talking nonsense! Our emperor is so wise and powerful, how can ordinary emperors be able to compare. Not to mention anything else, just helping the old and weak in Yongping Mansion back then. Tell me, how many emperors will care. Qiangu Renjun, this is not a lie!"

"..."

For ordinary people, especially since the registration of hidden households, what they fear most is not paying taxes, but also serving in the military.Because now that the standard of living has improved, the emperor has reduced all kinds of exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes. If he only pays the regular tax, he can still afford it.But when it comes to labor, there is no distinction between people. As long as it is the turn, you must go to the service. This is the most terrible thing.

Therefore, they are most concerned about road construction.

What is different from them is that when those officials see each other, they will sigh: "Oh, I am old!"

Or, fortunately, say: "It's nice to be young!"

Daming is getting more and more prosperous, and the emperor's grand plans are almost impatient.To be young means to have capital, to have the opportunity to follow behind the emperor, to build the Ming Dynasty together, and to see more things that you have never seen before.

Now in the Ming Dynasty, seniority is no longer an advantage!The development of science and technology, the promotion of science, youth is the capital!
