My life skills in Daming Liver

Liaodong.

After Li Rusong received the information from his cronies stationed in the capital, he immediately called his cronies for a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

News came from the capital that Li Chengliang had the idea to reorganize the new army in each town and rotate the commanders of each town.

This was the final plan proposed by Shanhao Xian. By rotating the commanders, the commanders of each town would be relieved of their control over the new armies under their command, and then they would find ways to remove these commanders.

Shanhao Xian originally thought this plan was perfect, and Li Chengliang also thought this plan was perfect. Rotating the commanders of each town would not break the hearts of these old brothers, and it could also weaken their influence in the army, saying It sounds justifiable.

After Li Rusong received this information, he was worried.

In his opinion, this order is directed at him!

Since leaving Liaodong, Li Rusong found that his relationship with his father had become much more subtle.

Especially when he heard that his second brother Li Rubai was favored by his father and served as a guard in the capital, Li Rusong felt something unspeakable in his heart.

When he was in Shandong, he could only serve as Li Chengliang's adviser because of his age and seniority.

Not only do you have to serve in front of and behind the saddle, but you also have to do various tasks.

But why can he be given the important task of guarding the capital immediately when his younger brother reaches adulthood?

Nowadays, there are rumors that Li Chengliang is more interested in his second son Li Rubai. He gave him important training as soon as he came of age and kept Li Rubai by his side to train him.

Although Li Rusong also knew that these were rumors to sow discord, he still felt it was harsh.

Another thing is Li Rusong's reuse of Jurchens in Liaodong.

The number of Han people in Liaodong is not large. After all, this is a bitterly cold place with extremely low temperatures in winter. Even the soldiers and horses brought by Li Rusong are not adapted to the weather here.

Before setting off for Liaodong, Li Chengliang once told his son that when he arrived in Liaodong, he would use Jurchens, but he should also be wary of Jurchens, and even executed some Jurchens in turn, so that one Jurchen tribe could not become dominant.

This is what Li Chengliang did when he was in Liaodong.

When a Jurchen tribe becomes powerful, let the people of this tribe attack other tribes and die. If they don't fight, they will execute this tribe with military orders. If they attack this tribe, their vitality will be severely damaged and they will lose their strength to other Jurchen tribes. prestige in.

This move was considered a conspiracy. Even if the Jurchen tribes who surrendered to Li Chengliang understood this truth, they were helpless because the Jurchens themselves were not united, and the tribes that came to Li Chengliang were basically excluded or unable to survive.

But there are also disadvantages to doing this, that is, you need to be very familiar with Jurchen affairs, and you also need to be very prestigious among the Jurchens.

And because the Jurchens are not fools, if they often do this, the Jurchens will also be afraid of the Ming army. When recruiting Jurchens, they often fail to recruit people, and sometimes they have to go to the mountains to catch Jurchens.

After Li Rusong took office, he could still imitate his father in the beginning and balance the Jurchen power in Liaodong.

But he soon discovered that the recruitment of Jurchens was too slow if he continued like this, and the Jurchen tribes had hatred for each other, and conflicts often occurred during training. Sometimes the trained Jurchens died when they attacked other Jurchens. , the new recruits need to continue training.

So Li Rusong changed the method his father told him. He moved Li Rushe's tribe to the edge of Liaoyang City, then gave Li Rushe's tribe food and seeds, and then trained their tribe.

Every spring and summer, when the mountain snow was lifted, Li Rusong asked Li Rusong to take people to the mountains to recruit Jurchens, and then placed these Jurchens near Liaoyang City, and used the same method to canonize these tribes and let them serve the Ming army.

Finally, Li Rusong set up three red, white and blue flags near Liaoyang City. Each flag was assigned a flag owner, who was responsible for the Jurchen affairs.

The Jurchens were responsible for defense outside the city, and in case of war, they would go to the Three Banners to recruit Jurchens to fight.

The Han people lived in the city, either working in workshops, taking the Jurchens to farm in the farms outside the city, or serving as officials and military officers.

Li Rusong was very satisfied with his design. Isn't this the Yi Di guarding China? Isn't it the kingly world mentioned by the sages?

But after Li Chengliang found out, he wrote a letter to reprimand his son, thinking that doing so would make the Jurchens powerful and affect the stability of Liaodong. He also asked him to dissolve the three banners and cancel the canonization of the flag owners.

Regarding his father's letter, Li Rusong only obeyed the letter and violated it.

The relationship between father and son began to deteriorate.

At this time, the news of the rotation of commanders was more like a signal that his father was going to take action against him.

Li Rusong can also be regarded as the commander of a town. If he is rotated, where will he go?

Going to Shandong or Jiubian? Or go to the capital?

Li Rusong has already adapted to the days of being the king and hegemon in Liaodong, and he has no desire to return to his father and compete with his second brother for favor.

There are other senior generals in Shandong and Jiubian. Can you still say the same thing as Liaodong if you go alone?

Sure enough, as soon as the discussion started, Li Ruzhen, the leader of the red flag, burst into tears and said:

"The general can't leave! What will happen to our 200,000 soldiers and civilians in Liaodong if the general leaves!"

All the Jurchen generals present burst into tears, and Li Rusong felt that his prestige was very high.

He immediately said: "I will write a letter to my father right away, saying that the situation in Liaodong is complicated, that I need to prepare for the invasion of North Korean rebels, and asking my father not to rotate the commander."

Li Rusong's letter was sent to the capital. When he clearly opposed his father's policies and the proposal to transfer commanders, the military leaders in the capital also responded with support.

With his own son objecting and his subordinates also objecting, Li Chengliang could only say that the transfer of commanders was just an idea of ​​the Ministry of War and was not really going to be implemented.

Nanjing, Cabinet.

It was a rare occasion for Su Ze to leave the Governor's Office. Today he came to the cabinet to listen to Gu Xiancheng's report to the cabinet, talking about the issues in Annan and Guangxi.

Gu Xiancheng's appearance is very good, which is in line with the requirements of scholars in this era. He stands in front of a group of big shots and talks eloquently, which is also in line with Confucian requirements for scholars.

Shen Shixing nodded to Gu Xiancheng and valued this young man very much.

When Su Ze listened to Gu Xiancheng's report, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Sure enough, this man has two skills and is a natural talent for politics.

Gu Xian's idiom said in a surprising way:

"My lords, my subordinates' biggest emotion in Guangxi is that if there is no problem in Guangxi, we must completely break the 'Yi-Xia head and foot theory' proposed by Jia Yi of the Han Dynasty!"

Even Su Ze frowned at this sentence, because the "Yi-Xia first and last theory" can be said to be the basic national policy of Chinese civilization in dealing with frontier aliens since the Han Dynasty. Gu Xiancheng actually wanted to abolish it?
