Chapter 823 Coercion

If there is something unpredictable in this world, it is probably the heart of the people. Zhu Hongsanman thought he had reached an agreement with the cabinet, but he did not expect that Tong Yangjia, who got the best interests in this meeting, was not satisfied.

Tong Yangjia was in charge of military affairs. According to the emperor's wishes, the battle to destroy Myanmar must have made great contributions, so Tong Yangjia's power in his hands will increase. But he did not expect that Feng Ziyong would finally come out. Although he finally agreed to use military force against Myanmar, the scale was very different from the ones discussed at the beginning.

Tong Yangjia was dissatisfied, but he was the only one in the cabinet, and there was not enough opposition, so after the meeting, Tong Yangjia was thinking about what to do.

It was already evening when the emperor summoned them into the palace. When it came out, it was completely dark. Standing at the gate of the palace, Tong Yangjia looked at the palace lanterns on the high imperial city, thinking in his heart that he seemed to be alone in the cabinet, so he should also find some helpers. Tong Yangjia thought for a while and said to the servants who were following him: "You go to Commander Qian's house in a while, and I will say that I have to ask him to go through the mansion to discuss matters!" In fact, Qian Lide was behind him, but he was afraid that he would get the handle, so it would be better to be low-key.

After Tong Yangjia returned home, he went to his study and asked his family to prepare wine and food. In a while, Qian Lide, who was wearing plain clothes, came.

After Qian Lide entered the house, he bent and said, "My father-in-law, I wonder what to call my son-in-law to come so late?" Qian Lide's wife is a mother and daughter flower. After destroying Dongjiawu Fort in Zhu Hongsan, Henan, he gave Dong's daughter-in-law and granddaughter to Qian Lide, and the Dong family's concubine to Tong Yangjia, so Qian Lide is Tong Yangjia's son-in-law.

Tong Yangjia nodded and said, "You didn't eat anything when you left the palace so late! Your mother-in-law made a few side dishes today and asked you to come over to have a drink and talk!"

Qian Lide heard Tong Yangjia say this and quickly served Tong Yangjia and sat down. Then he poured some wine for Gunwan'er's father-in-law, poured a glass of it himself, and then said, "Son-in-law wishes Lao Taishan good health!" After that, he drank it all.

After finishing drinking, Qian Lide smiled and said, "My father-in-law, I won't really come to find a son-in-law today to drink!"

Tong Yangjia put down his wine glass and smiled and said, "You are right. It's really a problem to come to you today! You saw it in the palace just now! Ma Mingyuan is really too lying, even His Majesty the Emperor deceived him. Is it really because the national treasury has no money? It's because he, Ma Mingyuan, just wants me to expand my strength!"

Although Qian Lide relies on Tong Yangjia, it does not mean that Qian Lide does not understand politics at all. Even if Qian Lide has a bad background and has never studied, he has already experienced the intrigues over the past twenty years. Qian Lide is the Jinyiwei, what does Jinyiwei rely on? It is not about knowledge and reputation, but about the emperor's favor. Therefore, although Qian Lide understood Tong Yangjia's words, he did not say a word. He did not want to get involved in the party struggle between Tong Yangjia and Ma Mingyuan.

Seeing that Qian Lide only ate but didn't speak, Tong Yangjia cursed in his heart: You are very cunning, but I have a way!

"Son-in-law, do you think I am unlucky and Ma Mingyuan can let you go? Not to mention your relationship with me, the matter of the prince back then is enough for you!" Tong Yangjia saw that Qian Lide was not trapped and did not play with false thoughts, and directly pointed out your Qian Lide's shortcomings.

Qian Lide regretted this when he heard Tong Yangjia say this. He regretted being coerced by Tong Yangjia back then and was forced to send his men to Nanchang to play the prince. Now the handle is in Tong Yangjia's hands and he has no choice but to not give in!

Qian Lide sighed and said, "If you have any use of your son-in-law, please speak!"

Tong Yangjia was satisfied when he heard Qian Lide say this. I can’t subdue you, a waste? However, Tong Yangjia still has to hit Qian Lide so that this guy won’t have any inappropriate thoughts.

"Son-in-law, do you know that this is all for you! Do you see that the commanders of all generations have ended up well? Ma Mingyuan, do you think it is really good to you? If it is really good, why would Zhao Mengguan be recommended to the position of Tongzhi?" In fact, Zhao Mengguan was recommended by the prince, but the prince was unable to stand up to recommend an Jinyiwei, so Ma Mingyuan was the party who stood up to recommend it. However, Zhao Mengguan and Ma Mingyuan have a close relationship.

Qian Lide sighed in his heart when he heard Tong Yangjia say this. He was afraid of being abandoned by the emperor in the future, so he wanted to choose one of the princes as his backer. The position of the prince was in danger at that time, but he did not expect that the position of the prince is as stable as a mountain. The emperor trusts the prince more and more. Other princes seem to have no hope of competing for a throne. But now he has boarded the boat of King Zhu Huai of Chu, so it will be difficult to get off the boat again.

"My father-in-law, my son-in-law has just said Lu Daqi's illegal business, but he didn't expect that Lu Daqi was very clever and did nothing, so he could do nothing!" Qian Lide thought that Tong Yangjia was dissatisfied with these words today, and he didn't do anything to do his best, so he explained.

Tong Yangjia heard Qian Lide complaining and laughed: "Son-in-law, I am not so scrupulous yet! Besides, Lu Daqi and Qu Shizi are just a problem with elbows and armpits, they are nothing! My real big problem with my heart is Ma Mingyuan!"

"Nonsense, of course I know! But you can't kill Ma Mingyuan!" Qian Lide thought to himself.

"You see the son-in-law today. Except for Qu Shisi and Li Zhi, the others in the court are all Ma Mingyuan's party. I am really alone!"

"My father-in-law, this son-in-law has no choice. Even if the cabinet candidate is not good at choosing a son-in-law!"

Tong Yangjia stood up and picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for Qian Lide, and then said, "What I asked you to do is not the cabinet business, but to send someone to Kunming to kill Zhu Youlang!"

Qian Lide was so scared to death when he heard Tong Yangjia say this. Qian Lide just now, but the emperor said in the court that Zhu Youlang must be alive because many things require a living Zhu Youlang. At least, Fujian needs Zhu Youlang to be a good example for Zheng Chenggong! But Tong Yangjia asked him to kill Zhu Youlang, isn’t this explicit resistance to the order? Resisting the order is a serious crime for the whole family to lose their heads. Qian Lide shook his head like a rattle when he heard it.

"My father-in-law, I must not dare to do this! This is an order. My son-in-law has a large family! My father-in-law, you can't watch your granddaughter die, right!"

Seeing that Qian Lide was afraid of becoming like this, Tong Yangjia snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, do you think you can be safe if I lose my power? If you don't do this, the Fujian war will be peacefully resolved. How can I fight Ma Mingyuan without the war? Then you can't escape even if I'm unlucky!"

As Zhu Hongsan occupied the whole country, the Zhu Hongsan group, which was mainly military, became mainly construction-oriented. It turned out that a large number of arsenals in Guangdong were closed and transferred, and the iron ore output in Qiongzhou Prefecture was reduced to 30% of the original, and the shipyards in Guangdong were reduced by half, from launching five warships every year to one every year. The reason is very simple. Zhu Hongsan had to concentrate all national strength to carry out economic construction. At the same time, the existing warships were almost enough. They were not at a disadvantage in fighting the Dutch in the South China Sea. What is needed for so many warships? The northern war requires cavalry and army, so all the expensive warships were stopped by Zhu Hongsan.

However, this has greatly reduced the power in Tong Yangjia's hands. Originally, half of the national strength in the country was in Tong Yangjia's hands, but now Tong Yangjia has completely become a soy sauce master. It's nothing to do when he goes to court every day. In addition, Ma Mingyuan deliberately isolated Tong Yangjia, so Tong Yangjia has lived a very leisurely life in the past three years.

If you change to an official who has no job and is still unlucky, you can't afford to be idle, and you can get a salary if you don't work! But Tong Yangjia is not such an inaction official. Tong Yangjia is also a good bureaucrat with ideals and morality. He also wants to reach the highest level of a literati - the chief minister, and he also wants to sit in the center to do five or six when the cabinet is meeting. But if there is no job, there will be no political achievements. If there is no political achievements, you will be a nonsense assistant! You must know that Ma Ming is much smaller than Tong Yangjia. In addition to Qu Shizi, Fu Wenlong counts Tong Yangjia as older. According to this view, Tong Yangjia is very likely to be a soy sauce cabinet in the cabinet until he retires, and then the emperor gives you a first-rate honor to return to his hometown to retire.

This is definitely not something Tong Yangjia can tolerate, so Tong Yangjia had to fight back and remove Ma Mingyuan, who was riding on his head. The first step was to start from the military, but now the northwest is in the defensive stage. The Junggar tribe in the opposite Moxi Mongolia was led by Sengge and there was no time to take care of the Ming Dynasty. The Manchus in the Northeast were killed and all the rest fled to the deep mountains and forests, and there was no big war. The only ones that could fight were Southwest and Fujian. The southwest had just been denied by Feng Ziyeng's bullshit idea, and now there was only Fujian left.

The person responsible for Fujian's military affairs is Yuan Pengnian, the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. This is Tong Yangjia. As long as the battle with Zheng Chenggong in Taiwan starts, Yuan Pengnian will definitely expand the war. At that time, Tong Yangjia is fanning the flames in the central government. Will the power be back in his hands? If Fujian wins, it's fine. Yuan Pengnian is already the governor. He will definitely enter the cabinet when he is upgraded to the first level. At that time, Tong Yangjia will not be fighting alone! Even if it fails, the failed emperor will definitely not be able to swallow this breath and will definitely expand the war. This is what Tong Yangjia is happy to see. Therefore, no matter whether it wins or loses in Fujian, Tong Yangjia is the final winner.

There are good things to win or lose, but there is absolutely no peace. If Zheng Chenggong puts down his weapons and is willing to be a prince of peace, it will be over, so Zhu Youlang must die. Only when Zhu Youlang dies can Zheng Chenggong die and be sad, and he does not believe in any conditions given to him by the emperor. Only when Zhu Youlang dies can Zheng Chenggong be honest and continue to fight against Emperor Shenwu.

Because of this, Tong Yangjia only found Qian Lide today and forced him to do this for himself.
