Feng Yuanbiao couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he saw that the prince was using his age as an excuse to make excuses. However, Wang Zaijin was similar in age to him and it was not easy to get angry, so he said in an old-fashioned way: "I just think the climate in western Liaoning is cold. , far inferior to the capital. If you don’t have a strong body, you may just be unsuited to the soil and water. If you delay major border affairs because of this, you will not be able to absolve yourself from the blame."
In order to pave the way for Wang Qiaonian, we must do everything possible to prevent Wang Zainian from taking office. His age and strength are his biggest weaknesses. Wang Qiaonian is fifty-five this year, but he is still much younger than Wang Zainjin. As long as he can securely defend Liaoxi, he can sit in the position of governor for five or six years.
This old guy is really stubborn. Yaoji was drawing circles in his mind, but he said with a smile: "Feng Aiqing doesn't need to worry about this matter. If Wang Zaijin himself is willing to accept this appointment, he will naturally feel that he is fine, and I can also Let the imperial doctor examine him, and the condition of his muscles and bones will surely come to light at that time. However, the Ministry of War has a lot of affairs, which requires Feng Aiqing to work hard, so I hope you can take care of yourself."
Most of Lao Wangtou's illness was caused by being deprived of his status. Of course, the blame must belong to the lying vegetative emperor. A certain prince was only responsible for passing the blame and would never take the blame, unlike the cheap father. , after throwing it all away on his own, he is much more retarded than the 9,000-year-old Apocalypse Tank Master who hired him to take the blame.
If Wang Zai Jin arrived in Beijing and heard that Feng Yuanbiao tried his best to prevent his reinstatement at the court meeting, he would probably have said: common man! I have tolerated you for a long time!
Feng Yuanbiao still wanted to argue with the prince. After all, despite his age, he was choked by the prince Huangkou. He was really angry. If he couldn't get back a fight, after he retired from the court today, he would become the after-dinner of his colleagues. The content of the joke.
Yaoji didn't wait for the old man to fight back again, so he said first: "If Feng Aiqing can't produce convincing evidence, there is no need to discuss the matter again. Don't wait until Wang Zaijin arrives in Beijing to damage the harmony among colleagues. All my dear friends, please It is to serve the imperial court, and the protection of the land is also my Ming Dynasty. Even if it is slightly flawed, it does not hurt."
In a certain prince's place, as long as you don't take advantage of others by chance, don't openly resist the decree, don't do things that are prohibited by the imperial court, and privately marry a concubine and play with the house lady, it can be ignored.
Today is pay day. Don’t make everyone unhappy because of Lao Wangtou’s incident. If you alone make everyone unhappy, then everyone will take advantage of you to be happy...
Among the many courtiers who have the right to speak in the hall at present, Zhang Guowei, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Du Yinxi, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, all support the prince's drastic rectification strategy. Feng Quan, the Minister of Rites, was a follower of the First Assistant. If Xue Guoguan did not express his position, he would remain silent.
Lu Zhenfei, the Secretary of the Medical Department, Zhang Xuan, the Censor of Youdu, and Wang Zhengzhi, the Minister of Dali Temple, were all promoted by the prince. They were not stupid enough to wait for their butts to get warm, and they directly counterattacked. Besides, they did not have enough motivation. .
Since Taicang had a lot of income, Li Shiwen, the Minister of Household Affairs, settled the matter and did not want to bother with the prince about matters other than expenditure. Zhong Qi, the censor of Zuodu, and Zhen Shu, the minister of punishment, had a lot of prisoners waiting to be dealt with, and they didn't want to cause trouble.
The two cabinet members would not oppose the prince's suggestion at this time, let alone Xungui. The prince would nod his head and agree to anything he said. His thoughts were all on the Kailuan Coal Mine, which could only be achieved in a year. A big business that makes hundreds of thousands of taels.
So looking at the entire hall, no one would support Feng Yuanbiao. There was no real benefit, and they didn't want to stand up for Dong Lin. Many people already understood Old Feng's little thoughts.
When the prince reorganized the government, he eliminated many members of Donglin. Although he did not criticize Donglin publicly, he said that marriage must be selfish. The courtiers were all aware of this, because people like Chen Biqian, Yang Shicong, Wu Changshi, Wu Weiye and other Donglin members were all taken away.
Feng Yuanbiao is the only Donglin member in the palace now, and his position is still the extremely important Minister of War. No one knows what the prince wants, so it is better to wait and see what happens.
Jin Zhijun, the right minister of the Ministry of War, is good at observing the situation. Since the prince already has his own opinion, he just listens attentively. Wang Jiayan, the left minister of the Ministry of War, believed that many generals in western Liaoning were unruly and a highly respected person should be dispatched, and Wang Zaijin was naturally the best candidate.
If Wang Qiaonian is really allowed to take up the post, he may not be able to mobilize all the troops under his command even in normal times, not to mention the Donglu attack.
Yaoji felt a little proud when he saw that Old Fengtou had been beaten back by him, so he continued to tease: "Now, I want to talk about someone who can be qualified for the position of Governor of Ji Town. Military Advisor Liu Bowen from the Immortal Realm passed by with his fingers. After calculation, I think Yan Yingyuan, who is from Tongzhou, Zhili, is very suitable. He is familiar with the local situation and has the talent to lead the army. He can be said to be both civilized and military, wise and courageous. I intend to promote him to the governor of Jizhen. I don’t know what your wishes are. how?"
Who is Yan Yingyuan, worthy of the prince's attention?
The courtiers immediately started chatting, but after a long discussion, there was no result.
Because most people don't know this guy, they can't make judgments, not even subjective assumptions.
The honorable nobles are local aborigines, but they don't know that there are such things that are favored by the military advisers in the fairy world.
Although Yan Yingyuan is from Jifu, his hometown is in Tongzhou, not in the capital, so it is not surprising that he is not familiar with the courtiers.
When everyone was at a loss, Feng Yuanbiao, who was still evil-minded, took the lead in attacking: "I don't know what position this person currently holds, who can take on such an important responsibility."
If the position is not high, you can make a fuss about your qualifications. This position will require experience. No matter how bad Wang Qiaonian is, he should be slightly better than this person.
Old Feng was really confused. This was indeed Yan Yingyuan's weakness, but Yaoji would not give up just yet: "This man is now a code official!"
As soon as he finished speaking, it was like a pot was boiling in the main hall. The clerk was an unqualified official, not even a ninth-grade sesame official. How could he survive being promoted to the position of a second-grade governor all of a sudden?
Feng Yuanbiao finally found the flaw, and he was immediately elated and eager to try: "Since, as His Highness said, I don't know what kind of virtue or ability this person has, how can I ask His Highness to be eclectic, let alone An Min to protect the country and preserve the country?"
It is true that the governor of Jizhen is a fat vacancy, but it is also a dead vacancy, and whoever fills his position will die. Because the Great Wall defense line under the jurisdiction of Jizhen was a key breakthrough area for the Qing army, and it was completely undefendable. As long as it was invaded, it would definitely be breached.
Feng Yuanbiao's plan was to first push Wang Qiaonian to the position of governor of Jizhen, and then wait for an opportunity to transfer him to a relatively stable place before autumn, lest the Donglu really make a comeback in early winter, and Wang Qiaonian would suffer from this again. Convicted.
Compared to Wang Qiaonian, who had served as deputy envoy of Dengcai and military preparations, prefect of Pingyang, right political advisor, and inspector, Yan Yingyuan, who was a small official, was simply not worth mentioning, but the prince valued him very much, which was really ridiculous.
Yao Ji had his own reasons for appointing a suitable candidate, and he wanted to choke this old guy to death: "First of all, this person is recommended by Liu Bowen, the military advisor of the immortal world. Liu military advisor made a fortune for him. This person will lead five thousand troops to defend the city. , he can withstand the attack of a hundred thousand Eastern captives, which shows his extraordinary intelligence. Secondly, Emperor Taizu Gao also affirmed Liu Junshi's advice, and I have already obeyed my orders in the immortal world. Finally, Liu Junshi also presented me with a set of The tactics used to restrain Donglu's cavalry can be said to be twice the result with half the effort, that's why I do this."
Since you directly ignored Liu Bowen, then I will just move out Zhu Laoliu's stinky tofu. Let's see if you still dare to ignore it. If you don't believe it, you can fly to the fairy world to confront Zhu Laoliu's stinky tofu. I Welcome with raised hands!
Seeing that the prince actually used Emperor Taizu Gao as a shield, Feng Yuanbiao didn't know whether it was true or not, so he had to go around and avoid making a careless statement and become the target of the courtiers.
No matter what position you hold, as long as you dare to verbally attack Emperor Taizu Gao, that is the biggest crime of disrespect. You can be reduced to Min directly without saying anything, and no one will sympathize with you.
Feng Yuanbiao insisted on his opinion and tried to find loopholes in the prince's words: "I believe that the post of governor must be comprehensive and cover a wide range of areas, so it is appropriate to appoint him with qualifications. This person is really as Liu Junshang said, nothing better than It is more appropriate to promote him to the rank of commander-in-chief and lead the troops in battle, so that his troops can still defend the Jifu area."
Since the prince said that he is good at fighting, he should just let him lead the troops in battle. When he is defeated and flees, he can be punished.
Since Guangning, the Ming army has rarely won a battle, and the court has long been eager to see through it, but everything goes against its wishes.
If this Yan Yingyuan has the general talents of Qi Shaobao, it will not be too late to be promoted after winning many battles.
The prince dragged out Taizu Emperor Gao and Military Advisor Liu, and what Feng Yuanbiao said made sense. The courtiers began to hesitate. They would never express their opinions easily until the end.
When Yaoji saw this, he gave an example to let everyone understand: "Zhuge Liang could serve as Liu Bei's military advisor before he was born, and Liu Bei did not let him perform the duties of Guan, Zhang, and Zhao. Then he faced the aggressive Cao Jun , although the Han army was alone, it was able to defeat powerful enemies repeatedly, which shows Liu Bei's talent as a man! Today, the Donglu are so arrogant that they enter the pass many times to attack cities and seize territory. However, our army's morale is low and we will lose troops and generals in every battle. Since Taizu Gao has With the emperor's affirmation and Liu Bowen's military advisor's recommendation, is there any reason why I should not use Yan Yingyuan? This person is good at organizing and planning, coordinating the overall situation, and can take advantage of the situation and use the advantages of time, geography, and people to restrain the Eastern captives from trampling on our Ming Dynasty territory and wreaking havoc. We, the people of the Ming Dynasty, combined with the new tactics, are the most suitable candidates for the position of Governor."
With the help of the small Jiangyin, Yan Yingyuan was able to withstand the fierce attack of hundreds of thousands of braids. Compared with Shi Kefa, who broke the city in less than three days, he was like a heavenly general. Yangzhou City was much larger than Jiangyin, and the result was a miserable defense.
Yao Ji wanted to know if all the areas of Ji Town except the capital were handed over to this guy to manage, whether Braid's mobile troops could be consumed to the maximum extent. The first time you don't need too much, just let three to five thousand people die.
Wang Jiayan, the left minister of the Ministry of War, really didn't want to get entangled in the selection of candidates, because both the emperor and his ministers had their own reasons, so he went out and said: "I don't know how to use the new method of warfare called by your highness?"
Not only him, but also the courtiers were very curious, even if they let the clerk be the governor, what was the secret of the battle method that could restrain the Donglu cavalry? Could the prince reveal a little bit about it at the court meeting?
"Entering the court, picture above, Xuan Yan Yingyuan goes to the palace!"
I spent a long time painting it last night, and I looked at it carefully this morning. It doesn't seem to have many flaws, so I'm basically satisfied.
"Your Majesty, Yan Yingyuan, goes to see Her Royal Highness the Queen and wishes..."
Yao Ji automatically ignored the rest of the content, and then briefly explained the content of the previous debate between the monarch and his ministers, so that this guy could have a general understanding, so as not to ask questions again and have to explain to him.
"Okay, let's talk about the defense strategy of this palace first. Because Xuanda and Jizhen have limited troops, and the Great Wall defense line is endless, it is really difficult to hoard heavy troops to guard everywhere. Donglu used the advantage of artillery to achieve a small breakthrough, and used the main force to penetrate into Jifu , then our northern defense line of the Ming Dynasty will completely collapse."
Now the Great Wall defense line is just a decoration, and it can be said that it is impossible to defend against braids. In this case, it is better not to use military resources to defend it, and to avoid being completely annihilated by others.
"I have made appropriate adjustments to the previous strategy, that is, using limited troops to defend relatively important strategic nodes, such as the capital, the capital, the county seat, the garrison, etc., so as to prevent our army from being captured by the Eastern invaders in the field. Annihilate, use cities and firearms to consume the Donglu's effective strength. Secondly, in order to protect many villages, regiments and armed forces must be established in each township and village. When our army gathers, self-protection must be achieved. A village of one hundred people must be established For group training, a township has a group training of 1,000 people, and a county has a group training of 5,000 people. In the Jifu area, every village must use a new method of warfare. This method of warfare is "burrow warfare," which is to dig a large hole under the house. , when Donglu comes, Cunmin can escape through a hole in the ground."
Because at the moment, not to mention the common people, not even the government and the army can stand firm against the "Qing Dynasty King's Master". The only way for the common people to survive under the knife's edge is to drill holes. The more and deeper the holes, the better.
The group training is just that, we can't expect them to really be able to repel the braids and protect the local people before the braids kill people. Successfully burrowing into the ground is considered to have completed their job.
Feng Yuanbiao finally found a very suitable venting point and immediately loudly stated: "This method is extremely inappropriate. How can Your Highness make the people of Ming Dynasty live like rats?"
"presumptuous!"
Before a certain prince could refute it, Yang Jinchao spoke first. This old man dared to be disrespectful to his master. He was really ignorant of etiquette.
Yaoji was not angry at all, and waved his hands and said: "No problem! Feng Aiqing, this moment is the same as that moment. If I ask our army to shrink its defense and focus on protecting the city with limited force, the vast countryside will inevitably be neglected. Although this method It may seem like he's just trying to make ends meet, but after all, he can keep the people alive. After all, when the Donglu invaders enter the pass, they won't care about whether I live or die for the people. Furthermore, Feng Aiqing still doesn't know the ingenuity of this method of warfare. The biggest feature of 'burrow fighting' is that it knows how to fight. The Donglu were forced to give up the cavalry they depended on for their livelihood. If they wanted to go down to the cave to kill people, they had to dismount first, otherwise the horses would not be able to get into the cave. When these enemies entered the dark cave, they would of course become at a loss. The group training strength is not good, but a sneak attack cannot be easier. With the advantage of the geographical location, why not stab a few Donglu to death? If one village can kill ten Donglu, a hundred villages can kill thousands of Donglu, and a thousand Donglu A single village can kill tens of thousands of Donglu! From now on, these jackals will never be able to come or go!"
