The first thousand one hundred and fourteen chapters come and go
After thirty years of drinking, Dong Ming stood up and said goodbye on the grounds that he could not bear to drink. Sun Jiagan did not try to keep Dong Ming out of the mansion and instructed his housekeeper to take Dong Ming back to the inn in his car.
This is not because Sun Jiagan holds his own identity and deliberately takes over. In fact, Dong Ming is extremely important in Sun Jiagan's heart, but now he is a bit eye-catching as the chief military aircraft to entertain the other party in a private banquet. If he poses with a passionate attitude, it will inevitably attract criticism.
Today, Sun Jiagan has achieved his goal in the banquet. Although both sides did not say it clearly, they both knew that they could cooperate with each other in the future government, which would be beneficial to each other.
As for the emperor, Zhu Yicheng naturally understood the intention of Sun Jiagan doing this, but Sun Jiagan did this for some reason with Dong Ming, and secondly, his purpose was only for the government. Even if there was some self-interest, it was normal for human nature. Sun Jiagan could not understand this very well.
Dong Ming didn't stay in the capital for too long. As he said before, he only stayed for a few days before leaving.
Compared to Dong Ming's journey from Shanxi to the capital, he went to Yunnan Province this time with many problems. Now Dong Ming is the governor, so there are naturally arrangements for his current official position to take office in the court. In addition, this time, the political affairs in Yunnan were specially explained by Zhu Yicheng. In addition, as a chief official in the border area, Dong Ming would certainly not just follow the housekeeper and followers like before. The court also dispatched officials and guards.
Not to mention the official, there are nearly a hundred guards alone, who escort Dong Ming to take office and are responsible for the safety along the way.
In this way, after handling the affairs, Dong Ming once again entered the palace and said goodbye to Zhu Yicheng. Then he headed south all the way, then took a boat along the river and went to Chongqing first, and then entered Sichuan from Sichuan Road to the southwest into Yunnan.
"Master, there is Shibalipo in front of you."
When Dong Ming had just walked up the river and entered Sichuan, Yue Zhongqi also arrived in Guizhou. In comparison, the road chosen by Yue Zhongqi was more difficult to walk. He did not go to Sichuan like Dong Ming, then go to the Yangtze River and then go north. Instead, he returned from Yunnan to Guizhou, then went northeast from Guizhou to Hunan, and then crossed the river, Hubei and into the Central Plains and returned to Beijing.
Sitting in the car and hearing the words of the personal soldiers, Yue Zhongqi lifted up the curtain and looked outside.
The mountains in Guizhou are mostly terrestrial and poor, and the climate is even more unpredictable. In ancient times, there was a saying that Guizhou had no sunny days and no sunny days, and the land was no sunny three miles wide.
"It's not too late to go to Shibalipo to let your brothers rest and eat something before leaving." Yue Zhongqi looked up at Tianse and said.
In fact, he only looked at the sky like this. Guizhou is very strange. It often rains on this hill while the other hill is shining brightly. This time he returned to Beijing to report his duties, the court did not stipulate that Yue Zhongqi would go to the capital without stopping, so he was not in a hurry in his work. In addition, Guizhou is difficult to walk on the mountain, so he did not urge him along the way, so he was polite to his subordinates.
The personal soldiers responded, and the team continued to move forward slowly, sitting in the carriage. As the carriage swayed, Yue Zhongqi looked at the book with a book.
As a famous military general, the book Yue Zhongqi read was not a military book, but an Analects of Confucius.
In fact, Yue Zhongqi was fond of studying when he was young. Although he was born into a general and became famous in the army at a young age, in fact, if he was not a general, even if he had the talent, even if he was a civil servant, he would be more than enough to be a civil servant.
In the Ming army, Yue Zhongqi's reputation as a general of Confucianism had long been spread throughout the army, which was also the difference between him and other generals. This time, the court suddenly transferred Yue Zhongqi back from the Yunnan front line. When the order arrived in Yunnan, many generals in the army felt unpleasant for Yue Zhongqi after learning about this, and some even planned to write to the court jointly to let Yue Zhongqi stay.
However, these things did not happen in the end. After receiving the order, Yue Zhongqi summoned the generals to announce the matter immediately, and at the same time set an example to cooperate with the court to transfer the military power of the southwest army. As for those subordinates who were indignant and planned to stand up for Yue Zhongqi, Yue Zhongqi suppressed them and even solemnly warned them to put the overall situation first and that they should not make mistakes on themselves.
Yue Zhongqi has a high prestige in the army, and his subordinates also obeyed him. Faced with this situation, Yue Zhongqi handed over military power smoothly, and then left Yunnan with his personal soldiers and embarked on the road to return to Beijing.
Although on the surface, Yue Zhongqi strictly abides by the imperial court's orders and cooperates with all his strength. In fact, it is impossible to say that he is not disappointed after leaving like this.
Since surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, Yue Zhongqi first cooperated with the Ming Dynasty to win the Battle of the Central Plains, then stationed troops in Henan, and then brought troops into Sichuan. Taking advantage of the brink of the Qing army's troops to capture Sichuan in one fell swoop, making great military achievements for the Ming Dynasty.
After taking over Sichuan, Yue Zhongqi pacified the place and attacked Guizhou in the south. After Guizhou returned to Ming Dynasty, he continued to lead troops westward and entered Yunnan.
In just half a year in Yunnan, the Ming Dynasty took the initiative, not only taking steady steps, but also taking over the important areas of Kunming and forcing the Qing army to flee north.
Now, the entire southwest battle situation is almost over, and Yunnan is basically under the control of the Ming army. The main force of the Qing army in Yunnan has no ability to resist under the pressure of the Ming army, and there is no other way except to escape north to Tibet.
At this time, Yue Zhongqi had already begun to gather troops and follow the Qing army to go north. If possible, if possible, after the battle in the southwest can be completely resolved, they can continue to lead troops to occupy the northwest boundary and expand territory for the Ming Dynasty.
Yue Zhongqi had already been planning all this and had even made a series of preparations. But he never expected that just as Yue Zhongqi was preparing to use the southwest army as the basis, and to force hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the north, the court actually ordered him to hand over the military power to go to the capital to report his duties. Even Yue Zhongqi could not accept this sudden change.
At first, Yue Zhongqi felt extremely aggrieved and angry, but after he calmed down, he gradually understood the reason why Zhu Yicheng did this.
After all, Yue Zhongqi is a Confucian general, and the way of considering problems is more cautious than that of ordinary generals. In addition, with the orders of the court, Zhu Yicheng also came with a private message to Yue Zhongqi. As the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he sent such a private message to the generals in the court in his personal name. This can be said that there is no one else except him, Yue Zhongqi.
In the letter, Zhu Yicheng frankly told Yue Zhongqi the real intention of transferring him back to the capital, and replied to the content of the secret copy that Yue Zhongqi had posted before. After reading this letter, Yue Zhongqi completely understood Zhu Yicheng's thoughts and also understood the reason for the court's arrangements.
No matter how you understand it, you are sure that you feel uncomfortable. This is why Yue Zhongqi did not return to the capital from Sichuan Road, but instead walked along Guizhou.
