After receiving the prince's summons from Wang Huai'en, Ding Hongguang, Guan Ning and his party quickly arrived at Prince Yun's Mansion.
At the same time, Zhao Jun also called over the three government affairs giants who had just been reorganized.
Prince Yun's Mansion and Study Room.
A bright yellow imperial edict was spread out on the table.
Zhao Jun pointed at the imperial edict on the table and rubbed his brows and asked: "Take a look, what does the imperial court mean?"
The five members of the military and political parties looked at each other. In the end, Jiang He took the lead to go up and read the contents of the imperial edict, and the others followed closely behind.
After a while, after reading the contents of the imperial edict, everyone's faces showed a look of astonishment.
What the hell is this?
The imperial court wants to mobilize troops from them to quell the Japanese?
Their prince is the vassal king!
This is something that has never happened in the more than 100 years since the founding of the Song Dynasty.
It really shocked everyone for a moment.
"This... Your Highness... This... How come the imperial court wants to borrow troops from us?"
Guan Ning looked at the imperial edict with disbelief on his face. He was so shocked that he couldn't say anything, and said in astonishment.
Zhao Jun shrugged and twitched the corners of his mouth:
"You ask me? Who do you want me to ask? Who knew that the old man and Zhang He had the wrong idea to come up with such an idea!"
Guan Ning suddenly smiled and did not dare to speak anymore.
Jiang He on the side looked solemn and said: "Your Majesty, the court's move has profound meaning!"
Everyone immediately looked at him.
Zhao Jun did the same and asked, "What's the explanation?"
Jiang He carefully pondered the contents of the imperial edict and pointed to the first sentence in the imperial edict and said:
"My lord, look here. It is said here that the imperial court originally wanted to mobilize the Japanese army to go to northern Jiangsu, but was stopped by hundreds of officials on the grounds that the Imperial Guards should not leave the capital easily. Only then did Prime Minister Zhang propose to mobilize my Yun The proposal of the state and county soldiers and horses to pacify the Japanese."
Everyone nodded, and Zhao Jun asked on behalf of everyone: "Is there any problem with this?"
Jiang He shook his head and said: "This may not seem to be a problem, but it is very problematic!
Imperial decrees are usually concise and to the point. What decrees have been issued by the court, who is designated to do it, how to do it, how much food is allocated to do it, and when it is required to be done.
But there has never been any precedent for explaining to the person to whom the order was issued why the order was issued to you.
But the imperial edict has been explained to you, the prince. This is an anomaly.
As the saying goes, there must be a monster when things go wrong. Since this passage appears here, it must have its purpose. "
Zhao Jun and everyone suddenly understood under his explanation, and then everyone began to think.
Suddenly, Zhu Tuo suddenly said: "Your Majesty, when I read the documents of this dynasty, I found that since the imperial court's control over the southeast has been reduced, the southeast has been resisting the imperial army's entry into the southeast.
No matter how bad their original garrison was, no matter how ruthless they were when they were invaded by Japanese pirates, they would always be extremely resistant to the troops directly under the imperial court, especially the troops directly under the official family, entering the southeast.
The last time it was because of Fang La's rebellion, the local corruption was really unable to be solved, and the lives of the southeastern forces were hanging by a thread, so they agreed to let the four armies of Pengri enter the southeast.
The entry of the same four armies holding the sun also means one thing. The royal family's influence on the southeast has begun to deepen. Even through that judgment, it is said that the Holy Emperor has also deployed a lot of people in the southeast, causing damage to the original power in the southeast. A lot of clamping and trouble.
Now that they refuse to support Japanese troops into the southeast, is it possible that they are afraid of the recurrence of the past?
Are they afraid that the Japanese army will invade the southeast again so that the government's tentacles in the southeast will be further extended and the royal family's control over the southeast will be enhanced? "
Everyone nodded after hearing this explanation.
"I agree! This is what it should be like!"
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
…
After understanding the reason, Zhao Jun then asked Jiang He: "Is there anything else wrong besides here?"
Jiang He thought for a while, and finally put his finger on the last sentence.
Said: "After the Yunzhou Army enters the customs, the local government will allocate military rations from the official warehouse. It must be allocated in time without any mistakes!
Your Majesty, your Majesty should have specially shown this to you! "
Zhao Jun raised his eyebrows and looked at the last paragraph carefully, especially the timely wave. The two paragraphs must not be mistaken. The corner of his mouth suddenly raised slightly and said: "So that's it. The old man really made the best use of everything. He teased me." Forget about his soldiers and ask me to help him clean up along the way. What a good plan."
Everyone was puzzled and looked at Zhao Jun doubtfully, but Zhao Jun had no intention of explaining. He looked at Jiang He and saw that he was looking at him with a smile. Zhao Jun knew that he had also guessed the old man's thoughts, and immediately smiled slightly. asked:
"Okay, now that the imperial edict has been issued, as long as we don't want to break with the imperial court, we still have to give my old man some face. We will arrange to transfer 10,000 people to support the old man."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
When everyone heard Zhao Jun's words, they couldn't help but laugh, and then they all held their hands in compliments.
Immediately afterwards, everyone began to discuss the matter of troop deployment.
No matter when and where, deploying troops is not a trivial matter. The preparation of soldiers, horses, food, armor and medicine is a tedious task, not to mention that this time it is thousands of miles away from the Yunzhou Army. Subei County.
Yunzhou County has no way to transport supplies to the army along the way, so in addition to food and other supplies that can be replenished, other supplies that cannot be replenished need to be brought.
And finally, the most important point is to adjust the troops in the army to enter the customs.
This is also a problem.
Finally, after deliberation among the senior officials of Yunzhou County, it was decided to select a Xiang army from the Yunhui army and reduce its establishment to form a Japanese army to enter the pass.
As for the candidate to lead the army, Ding Hongguang proposed one person.
"Li Dingguo?"
Zhao Jun looked at Wang Huai'en doubtfully.
Wang Huaien immediately replied: "Your Majesty, Li Dingguo joined the army when you went to the capital two years ago. He was quickly promoted for his repeated meritorious service in the body-drug battle.
In the subsequent battle with the Tatars, he was one of the many generals who charged with you.
He was wiped out in that battle, and in several battles with the Tatars, he beheaded eighteen Tatars by himself!
After the war, he was promoted to the position of commander of the First Wing of the Yunhui Army due to his meritorious service, and was hailed as a rising star of the Yunhui Army! He was sought after by all the generals in the army. "
As a secretary-type talent beside the prince, Wang Huaien has memorized in his mind almost all the information about the people in Yunzhou County who have reached a certain level or above.
As long as you think about it for a moment, you can immediately know all the information about this person.
After listening to Wang Huaien's introduction, even Zhao Jun couldn't help but open his mouth slightly. This guy is amazing. After two years of joining the army, he has risen from a top soldier to a third-ranking military officer in the Guards by virtue of his military exploits.
Moreover, during the previous Tatar War, he actually charged with him behind him, which can be regarded as having served under him.
Turning to look at Guan Ning and the other two, Zhao Jun asked, "Is he capable of leading troops alone?"
Ding Hongguang and Guan Ning nodded together, and Guan Ning even said: "Your Majesty, this boy is simply a born general. As long as he is taught everything in the army once, he can quickly master it, and sometimes he can draw inferences about other cases.
In the past, when I was intoxicated and I had other tasks, I would always let him take the cavalry with me.
Not only did nothing go wrong, but he also set a record of killing the most enemies with the smallest casualties in the battle with the Poison Man.
He still has the ability to lead troops alone! "
Seeing Ding Hongguang on the side also nodded, Zhao Jun felt relieved, and then made up his mind and said: "Okay, since you all think he can do it, our Yunzhou County must give more capable young people If you have a chance to practice, let him lead the troops this time!
The remaining ministries of Yunzhou prepared as quickly as possible all kinds of military supplies and materials needed to defeat the Japanese army. In addition, they brought some more craftsmen from our Yunzhou Army. No gunpowder was allowed to enter the customs this time. The Yunzhou Army The continuous crossbow is the main output method. We still have to replenish the arrows of the continuous crossbow ourselves.
Jiang and the three of you who are responsible for the logistics will handle the rest of the preparations. "
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
"I will wait for you to understand!"
