Chapter 899

Yang Sichang was so strong, but he stunned the messenger of the decree.

The emissary thought that this was the imperial edict, which was jointly signed by the imperial court and the emperor. Even if Yang Sichang was unwilling, he had to hold his nose to recognize it.

Since ancient times, who dares to refuse the supervisor sent by the emperor? The supervisor sent by the emperor meant that he was not confident about the generals who had military power, so he was sent.

You dare to refuse. Is that a conspiracy? Or do you have another idea? Moreover, if the imperial court disagrees, it is only the central intention. Now even the officials of the imperial court agree, which shows that this is in line with the overall interests of Daming, not the emperor's idea, but the idea of the imperial court.

It is estimated that even the imperial court is worried that these leading generals, who lead troops to fight outside, focus on military power and civil affairs, and lack of power supervision, will easily become a vassal force of the separatist party. The emergence of military supervision envoys can easily contain them.

You know, the civil servants of the imperial court hated the military Commissioner very much, but they all agreed to do so. It can be seen that the emperor persuaded others.

But Yang Sichang flatly refused.

The messenger was surprised and angry. He said, "Marshal Yang, do you know this is the imperial decree, not the central decree!"

Since the party struggle in Wanli period, officials like to return the imperial edict to show their integrity, because it is the emperor who offends the imperial edict, but the one who is famous and in the limelight is himself.

If the imperial edict is returned, the emperor and all the court ministers will offend, which not every official can carry.

Yang Sichang said angrily, "I naturally know that this is the imperial edict. I dare not disobey the imperial edict. However, I am old and weak, and my ability is limited, so I am not enough to lead the army. Now I ask your majesty to resign."

The messenger was surprised and angry. He said, "Marshal Yang, you are also a gentleman who has read the books of sages. When you know that everything focuses on the overall situation, and now the country is in the autumn of life and death, why do you ignore national affairs for your own sake?"

The emissary didn't say so. It's OK. Generally speaking, it made Yang Sichang more angry. Yang Sichang pointed to the other party and scolded: "you dare to talk nonsense like this. If I'm a person who doesn't care about the overall situation, how can I fight hard for the imperial court without food and noise? But has the imperial court ever experienced our suffering, or cooled the suffering of the front-line soldiers?"

Seeing that the other party was angry, he had a dignified momentum. The envoy did not dare to contradict. He said, "this is the unanimous suggestion of the imperial princes and the emperor. What is the advantage of the confrontation insisted by Yang Gong?"

Yang Sichang said, "even if you don't fight, it won't do any good. Since you know you've lost the war and take the road to death, why should someone Yang jump into the pit." then he took off his official hat. It's a sincere way to quit.

Yang Si was so tough that the messenger was afraid of it. He hurried back to report to the central court.

Yang Sichang always listens to the words of the court ministers and always implements the imperial edicts to the letter. He rarely contradicts and rarely puts forward conditions.

Who knows this time, he was so just. He didn't dare to say he didn't accept the imperial edict, but he came to a more cruel one and didn't even do an official.

In this way, it is very embarrassing for the high dive who is excited to start.

Eunuch Gao Qiqian used to be a slave in King Xin's residence. After Zhu Yujian became emperor, he began to rise to heaven. He has been supervising the army outside all the time. It can be said that he has rich experience in leading soldiers.

During the Wuqiao mutiny, he was responsible for supervising Guan Ningjun and was praised by the emperor for his excellent performance. However, later, like all eunuchs in charge of military supervision, he was criticized unanimously by the people and the imperial court because of local lawlessness, corruption and corruption. The emperor was forced to recall these military supervisors one by one, and Gao Qiqian was one of them.

However, the emperor still trusted him and entrusted him with important tasks. When the imperial court was ready to mobilize Guan Ning's army into the pass, it first sent him to supervise the army, but Gao Qiqian was ill at that time and could not go immediately.

After he got well, he immediately volunteered to go outside the pass to supervise the army and work for the emperor. Just at this time, the emperor decided to send another supervision envoy to control the troops on the front line out of concern for several senior generals.

Seeing such a scene, Gao Qiqian felt very shameless and hated Yang Sichang in his heart.

Almost everyone knows that the Tianjin camp was pulled up by Yang Sichang. All the generals are loyal to him and are willing to work for him. This time, they can send troops without food, which shows his ability.

If he is willing to cooperate, it's OK. If he insists on not cooperating like this, he can't get well if he goes.

Gao Qiqian saw that Yang Sichang was so disgusted and did not cooperate. He had to write to the imperial court. Instead of going to the front line to supervise the army, he collected food and grass for the soldiers on the front line and prepared military supplies and luggage in weidaying, Tianjin. This was also a step down.

The imperial court was very angry at Yang Sichang's bravery and ignorance, but anger turned to anger. Now the imperial court can't live without Yang Sichang. Now the East Route Army is advancing hand in hand and is at the juncture of fierce war, which is a critical moment of life and death. The change of generals in the battle will bring the greatest turbulence to the army.

If it was an army in the past, changing a general might not have much impact, but now the East Road army is basically a temporary army made up of left and right. Without the baptism of blood and fire, most of them are random soldiers. If the general is changed again, I'm afraid it will arouse the greatest dissatisfaction of the soldiers in the army and then lead to mutiny.

Finally, they were helpless and could only agree to Gao Qiqian's suggestion and let him sit in Tianjin Wei and be responsible for logistics. Don't you Yang Sichang always say that logistics supply is insufficient and food and grass are insufficient? Now send a senior member of the court to raise food for you. Should you have no opinion?

Even if there are opinions, the appointment of official officials in the DPRK is less than what you mean.

After the court made a decision, it quickly sent someone to inform Yang Sichang who was packing.

Yang Sichang was really angry. After the messenger left, he immediately ordered him to follow him, pack up and prepare to pack up and leave.

The commander of the eastern army gave up his job, but the people around him were shocked. Originally, the army had launched a full-scale offensive and was ready to attack all over the country. Suddenly, the news that Yang Sichang quit was sent to supervise the army, but the morale of the army was greatly disturbed.

Yang Sichang did not have a good impression of the eunuchs. When the eunuchs came to supervise the army, they could do no good except giving directions.

When the army was terrified and had no desire for war, the imperial court sent an edict again, rejecting Yang Sichang's request and asking him to continue to serve as the commander of the East Route Army. He would not send any supervisors to him, and he would be fully responsible for all strategic campaigns.

This time, the royal guards were also sent by Xu Jianqiang of the East Hall. He hinted to Yang Sichang that he would either continue to work for the imperial court or imitate the old events of the Taizu emperor.

The old story of emperor Taizu's time is that talents must be used by the imperial court. If they can't be used by the imperial court, they can't be used by the enemy, so they have to be eradicated.

Yang Sichang also knew that he was powerful. He was just angry for a moment. He was reluctant to give up this powerful position. Since the imperial court had made concessions, he immediately went down the slope to admit his mistake to the imperial court and was willing to continue to work for the imperial court.

This storm passed like this, but it brought a great blow to the morale of the East Road army.

Hong Chengchou of the West Route Army, however, did not have the confidence of Yang Sichang. The imperial court sent Cao Huachun to supervise the army. He did not dare to resist and could only silently admit this result.

Hong Chengchou was exquisite in all aspects and very smooth. However, he did not dare to work directly with Cao Huachun, but led all the troops to besiege Linqing.

Ignore this special envoy sent by the imperial court. This is a gesture. You can do whatever you should. As long as you don't interfere with us, we will be in peace.

Cao Huachun also knows that it is difficult for the Raptors to suppress the local snakes, so he does not dare to do anything when he first arrives. He can only follow Xiao Gui and Cao Yu. Originally, he came here with a mission. He must persuade the front-line generals to listen to the imperial court's policy, that is, assemble the most troops and horses and go all out to attack Jinan in a short time.

But seeing Hong Chengchou's style, he doesn't beat him at all. Hong Chengchou and his generals have a high degree of unity of opinion. This is that we must win Linqing and get enough food and population before we have enough capital to attack Jinan. No one can attack a big city with empty hands and hungry stomach.

The people below insisted on doing so, and Cao Huachun had nothing to say, because now he has found that wearing the flower hat of an imperial envoy in the past, he can be superior everywhere, dictate everywhere, call the wind and rain, and do whatever he wants.

But now the other party doesn't bird you. Like these generals, if they don't dump you, you can't help it.

Hong Chengchou is quite polite to do so. If he looks like Yang Sichang, he will lose his face as a military envoy and have no face to see people.

Before leaving the capital, Gao Qiqian was arrogant and very proud. He thought he could do something. But now he can only be a man with his tail between his legs in Tianjin. He can't interfere with military power or take charge of soldiers. No one obeys your orders. He can't be called a military envoy at all. He's just a mud fetus Bodhisattva in vain. He won't give you any benefits, It has nothing to do with you.

As for Chaoyan's policy, the emperor's expectations and his own heroic ambition, it would be more humiliating not to mention it.

Gao Qiqian was unlucky, but if he was compared with Wang Dehua, who went to Zhu xieyuanyuan to supervise the army, he would be lucky.
