People in Zongwu: Starting with the Yin Gui Sect

In the following period, the martial arts world entered a relatively peaceful period. Except that the Songshan Sect was eliminated by the court and Yue Buqun became the leader of the Four Yues, nothing happened.

On the contrary, as for the court, in addition to the disasters caused by the Little Ice Age climate from time to time, Wu Yu also received many memorials from the Censorate impeaching Wu Sangui and his son.

It is said that since the Wu family father and son sent troops to suppress the rebellion, they have not only failed to wipe out the bandit leader Li Zicheng, but also made the bandits stronger.

Now more than half of Shaanxi has fallen into the hands of the bandits, so these censors have written to Wu Yu to request him to decree the dismissal of the father and son and replace them with others to suppress the rebellion.

However, in the face of the Censorate's letter, Wu Yu directly chose to turn a blind eye. Just kidding, he also planned to use the failure of Wu Sangui and his son to strengthen the power of Brother Li. This is just the beginning. How can a mere half of Shaanxi satisfy his appetite? Half of the north is about the same.

Moreover, without Brother Li, where can Wu Yu get money? He can't go and confiscate the property himself, right? Wouldn't that force the whole world to rebel?

Wu Yu would not do such a stupid thing. Even if he wanted to deal with Brother Li, he should at least let most of the northern land and money fall into his hands.

Therefore, when facing the impeachment of the Censorate, Wu Yu would always use the sentence "Do not doubt people when you employ them, and don't employ people when you doubt them" to get rid of them.

Then this matter somehow reached the ears of Wu Sangui and his son, and the father and son were moved to tears. They secretly vowed to recover the country to repay the emperor's kindness.

Poor father and son didn't know that the emperor, who they thought was kind, was the real mastermind behind their repeated defeats.

Time soon came to May of the first year of Chongzhen. On this day, when Wu Yu was reviewing memorials, he received a memorial from Yuan Chonghuan, which contained the famous "Five-Year Plan to Suppress Liaodong!"

After this memorial, there were many letters of recommendation from Donglin Party officials, hoping that he could reinstate Yuan Chonghuan and let him supervise all military affairs in Jiliao, Denglai, Tianjin and other places.

Looking at these memorials, Wu Yu hesitated for a while.

Yuan Chonghuan, the most controversial figure in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, some people say that he is the greatest national hero in the late Ming Dynasty, and some people say that he is a historical criminal who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country.

It is true that he defeated the Jiannu several times during his tenure in charge of Liaodong military affairs, but it is also true that the Jiannu's power grew stronger during the period when he was in power.

Especially after he came to power, he couldn't wait to forge an imperial edict to execute Mao Wenlong, which further proved that this person was not as loyal and patriotic as he said on the surface.

You should know that Mao Wenlong was the left general commander and the general commander of the Liaodong Rebellion, a first-rank official of the court, but he was killed by Yuan Chonghuan, a second-rank official holding the imperial sword. Where is the court's law and the emperor?

Not to mention that Mao Wenlong himself was a capable and skilled general who defeated the Jiannu several times. Yuan Chonghuan killed such a person without the consent of the court. If you were the emperor, what would you think?

What's more, you killed Mao Wenlong, but you didn't deal with him cleanly after killing him, which made all the officials in Pidao defect to the Jiannu, which brought a huge blow to the reputation of the court.

Well, this is not a big deal. After Yuan Chonghuan gained power, he began to ask the court for this and that, and the court also gave money and people, and gave them everything they deserved.

But the result was that Huang Taiji led his men to the capital, and almost followed the old path of the two emperors Huizong and Qinzong of the previous dynasty. Do you think Yuan Chonghuan should be killed?

No wonder Chongzhen in history executed him without hesitation after the Jisi Incident. The secret communication with the Later Jin was just an excuse.

"Well, since you are here, let's meet first!"

Since there is a dispute, why not meet first.

"Former Liaodong Governor Yuan Chonghuan pays respect to Your Majesty!"

"Stand up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

It was not until Yuan Chonghuan stood up that Wu Yu had time to look at this most controversial celebrity in the history of the late Ming Dynasty.

"I have read your five-year plan to pacify Liaodong. I will not comment on it first. I just want to hear your opinion on Jiannu and the advantages and disadvantages between him and my Ming Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, this Jiannu..."

Then Yuan Chonghuan began to talk in front of Wu Yu, but as he spoke quickly, Wu Yu's heart gradually sank.

Because in his words, all of them were derogatory to the Jiannu and high praise for the Ming soldiers, thinking that the Jiannu were just a group of uncivilized barbarians who could not be compared with the Ming army.

If Wu Yu had not come from the future, he would have been fooled by him. No wonder historyThe other party's eloquence was too good for Chongzhen to believe such nonsense as pacifying Liao in five years.

Especially the words that if he was given five years, he could hit the Jiannu's lair in minutes, which made Wu Yu excited and calmed down for a while.

"I wonder what you think of Mao Wenlong, the left general and general of Ping Liao!"

Although the other party's words were a bit exaggerated, Wu Yu still felt that he should give him a chance.

After all, it was an indisputable fact that he had repelled the Jiannu army twice before. He was definitely a rare general for the current Ming Dynasty. Wu Yu just wanted to hear his opinion on his attitude towards Mao Wenlong.

Seeing that His Majesty suddenly shifted the topic to Mao Wenlong, Yuan Chonghuan was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and directly expressed his opinion.

"Your Majesty, Mao Wenlong, as the Left General Commander of the Liaodong Campaign, not only betrayed the emperor's grace by smuggling supplies to Jiannu and Korea, but also committed the outrageous act of killing innocent people and claiming credit for his achievements. Killing him is not enough to appease the public anger."

Okay, Wu Yu understood. Yuan Chonghuan clearly had a grudge against Mao Wenlong, and it was the kind of feud that would not end until one person died.

As for Mao Wenlong's smuggling of supplies, Wu Yu knew that it was only because the court had owed him military pay for many years. After he came to power and allocated sufficient military pay, such a thing never happened again.

As for the last killing of innocent people and claiming credit for his achievements, it was even more nonsense. After all, he personally went to Pi Island to investigate. If such a thing really happened, then the generals under Mao Wenlong would never be able to escape his great method of changing the world and striking the earth.

"Okay, I know what you mean. I will discuss with the cabinet later on how to arrange for you to wait patiently!"

"In that case, I will take my leave first!"

Yuan Chonghuan also knew that this matter should not be rushed, so he left after apologizing.

And not long after Yuan Chonghuan left the Qianqing Palace, a secret report from the "Yebushou" on the border was delivered to Wu Yu. The Jiannu was actually going to attack the Ming Dynasty again.
