"Who knows if he will..."
Wang Tiqian's voice was very soft, but it weighed more than a thousand pounds and hit Zhu Changxun's heart hard.
Yes, no matter how Yan Chenhao may be a bastard, no matter how his family has been separated, he still has an inextricable relationship with Chen Guogong's mansion, and the blood connection is inseparable.
Regardless of Yan Shizhao's great achievements, he has a high starting point and has performed many military exploits. If he continues like this, it will be easy for him to become undefeated. If this person is really allowed to take charge of an army of more than 200,000 people, if he has the slightest disobedience, Internal and external alliance...
He shuddered, quickly picked up the pen, and changed Yan Shizhao's name. After thinking about it, he was about to write Xiong Tingbi's name. But as soon as he started to raise his head, Wang Tigan hurriedly reminded:
"Your Majesty, Shangshu Xiong... I am not saying that he is not loyal to Your Majesty, but it is better to be more cautious."
Xiong Tingbi was recommended by Yan Chenhao and was regarded as his.
Zhu Changxun understood what he meant, put down his pen, and asked:
"If the Minister of the Ministry of War is not good, what about Sun Chengzong, the right minister of the Ministry of War? I heard that this man is very knowledgeable about military affairs and is a good general."
Wang Tigan said without thinking:
"Although Shilang Sun is very good at talking about military affairs and has patrolled the Datong area, after all, he has no experience in commanding such a large army. Your Majesty, it is still not appropriate."
"Then who do you think can take on this important task?" Emperor Wuxing asked involuntarily.
Recently, he has also been continuously cultivating his confidants. There is no doubt about Wang Tiqian's loyalty as a palace man. Therefore, he has become more and more recognized by Zhu Changxun. He has put forward such constructive suggestions, so he naturally relies on him. Now Jing Er asked Get this person’s opinion.
Wang Tiqian denied the emperor's words many times, and of course he had his own plans:
"Yang Hao, the governor of the Xuan Mansion, has experienced many wars and has countless military exploits. He is also loyal to the country. Although he is nearly seventy years old, he is still in good spirits. I think he may be able to perform this feat for Your Majesty."
The reason for recommending him is also very simple. Yang Hao has given him money before and he is considered one of his "own people", so he naturally wants to take credit now.
After all, Liu Wei and Deng Zilong fought against the Toungoo Army before, so people naturally looked down upon them. As a contemporary general, Yang Hao also participated in the Korean War and the battle to pacify the refugees in various places. In Wang Tiqian's understanding , they must not be much different.
Does it fit? This is a perfect fit.
Zhu Changxun also quickly thought of this general and recalled his results. Most of them were victories. So he felt relieved and wrote Yang Hao's name with his pen, not forgetting to praise:
"Thanks to you! Wang Banban, I almost missed something important."
"It is my honor to be able to share your Majesty's worries."
Wang Tiqian's face was filled with a flattering smile, and then he said:
"Your Majesty, I think there is something wrong here... You see, the Great Tomorrow Soldiers used here, except for a small number of border troops, are all guardsmen... Of course, wherever my Great Tomorrow Soldiers go, They are invincible, but if you want a quick victory, it is not appropriate to use them. The soldiers on the nine sides should not be moved lightly, but what about the soldiers of Jisi?"
"With the troops charging into battle, wouldn't it be possible to calm down the chaos faster and demonstrate the martial virtues of our Ming Dynasty?"
Regarding the speed of the war, Zhu Changxun and Yan Chenhao were consistent in wanting to end the war as soon as possible. However, unlike Yan Chenhao who wanted to reduce consumption as much as possible, he wanted to achieve his reputation faster.
Wang Tiqian also saw this and made such a suggestion. He also wanted to express himself and gain favor in front of the emperor.
When it came to war, Zhu Changxun was also half-assed and knew a little bit, but not much. There was no need to question the combat prowess of the Mongolian cavalry, so he immediately agreed and said with a smile:
"If this battle is won, it will be thanks to the king's companionship."
"I don't dare," Wang Tiqian said modestly, with a smile on his face, full of pride.
The next day, the edict was issued, with harsh words. It listed the various evil deeds of the Toungoo Dynasty since the Jiajing year in infringing upon the Ming Dynasty's three declarations and six comforts, and even invading Yunnan. It declared that "the former emperor had learned lessons. However, he did not reflect on himself and continued to wreak havoc." The Ming Dynasty could not bear it any longer and "then sent 500,000 troops to conquer the unconquered subjects."
Subsequently, within a few months, the Ming Dynasty's southern armies began to gather.
…
Grassland, a certain mansion.
"Are we going to send troops again?"
“I still haven’t paid the money I paid for my shirt last time!”
The governor spoke frankly to the eunuch who came to announce the edict, his words full of dissatisfaction.
After all, their rewards had been downgraded, so forget it. He didn't dare to ask the Ming Emperor what he meant, but hundreds of his men died in battle and the pension had not been paid yet, which was a bit excessive.
The eunuch didn't panic at all when he heard this, he smiled calmly and said:
"Captain, don't worry, I've brought you the settlement money."
The settlement allowance was usually given to the Ming army when they first joined the army, that is, it should have been paid the last time the Jisu Army was recruited. However, at that time, Emperor Wuxing wanted to default on the debt, and now he wants to use them again, so he reissued it. These are used to boost morale.
This is the same reason that before the war in the late Ming Dynasty, the original time and space always had to pay part of the arrears, but this time, Zhu Changxun didn't have no money, he just wanted to delay it.
Naturally, the governor didn't know what Zhu Changxun was thinking. Hearing this, his face brightened slightly. With this money, he could finally give an explanation to his tribe.
"I would like to ask my father-in-law to say a few words to Your Majesty about the silver issue." The governor's attitude became better and he put some silver into the eunuch's hands.
"Easy to say." Feeling the heavy weight on his palm, the eunuch suddenly smiled.
However, as for whether he would say anything when he fell...that would be a matter of judgment. After all, as someone close to the emperor, he understood the emperor's thoughts very well.
The governor also understood that this eunuch may not be reliable, but he had no choice.
After all, it is impossible for him to really resist the Ming Dynasty that is now at its peak.
All I can say is that I can get some benefits back.
The two sides temporarily reached a consensus, and the governor began to obey orders.
The news was quickly distributed, and the young men in the mansion began to gather.
"Are we going to fight again?"
An old man stuck his head out and looked at his grandson who was preparing his luggage.
"yes."
Sun Tzu replied in a low voice:
"The Emperor of Heaven is recruiting."
After he finished speaking, he buried his head in packing his things. After a long time, he said again:
"My father died in battle last time, and he still hasn't been paid the money he owes. The three heads he and I brought back were only given twenty-two taels."
"Obviously, one head is worth fifteen taels." (Because the north of this time and space is weak, it is cheaper)
Both of them were silent for a while, and then the old man sighed and said:
"Go, go, fight for His Majesty, it is also your blessing."
"The settlement allowance has been paid this time. If I have made a contribution...I think I won't treat you badly like last time."
