"Marquis Wu Yang, I would like to ask, how is Liao Ping Bo Shi Biao doing?"
After listening to Zhu Jianshen's words, Shi Heng knew in his heart that the beating on him had come to an end, and now it was time for him to answer seriously.
However, the first thing Zhu Jianshen mentioned was his unsatisfactory and ugly nephew, which surprised Shi Heng. However, when asked about Shi Biao, he must not listen to his own evaluation of Shi Biao, but to listen to his own evaluation of Zhu Jianshen. My own opinion on arranging Shi Biao to guard Liaodong.
At that moment, Shi Heng thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, although Liaoping Bo Shi Biao's ability is not strong, he is more than enough to defend Liaodong."
Zhu Jianshen chuckled when he heard this: "Wen Wu is really the best, Wu Wu is the second."
Such words also stunned Shi Heng for a moment.
Zhu Jianshen continued when Shi Heng was stunned for a moment: "Did Uncle Liao Ping tell Marquis Wu Yang about the Annan incident?"
Shi Heng's heart skipped a beat, he's coming, he's coming, he's finally here.
Finally got to the point.
The title of Duke is beckoning towards him.
You have to take control of it yourself.
Apply for employment.
At that moment, Shi Heng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Shi Biao did tell me something about Annan."
Zhu Jianshen's eyes were deep, and after a moment of pause, he said: "If I want to restore the territory left by Emperor Taizong, reset the Annan Prefecture, and use weapons and weapons, how many troops, how much food, and how much time will be needed." biquge.biz
Zhu Jianshen didn't ask in vain. After Shi Heng returned to the capital, he was not idle in the past few days.
At the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, he checked Zhang Fu's detailed military strategy and records for the use of troops in Annan, and then asked the last commander-in-chief Wang Tong, who had just been released from the big boss, for his opinion on the situation in Annan. I have a simple understanding.
Hearing His Majesty ask about his professional matters, Shi Heng was overjoyed. The homework he had done in the past few days was finally put to use.
"Your Majesty, Annan is a small land with few people. Although there are elephant soldiers, our army of the Ming Dynasty had already defeated Annan when the British were fair. Now Annan is regent by their queen mother, and the minister Zheng Ke controls the government. Women When the house is in charge, the walls are falling and the house is falling down. In Annan now, the people are in dire straits. All I need is for my army of the Ming Dynasty to enter again, and they will be able to do so without any effort. From what I see, they are like chickens and tiles with dog ears." Shi Heng said, feeling that he was off topic. Of course, this digression was intentional, and it also let His Majesty know that he had indeed put in the effort. As he spoke, he returned to the main topic.
"As long as your majesty's holy heart is determined, fifty thousand elite soldiers, and five hundred thousand taels of silver are spent, within five years, I can pacify Annan..."
After hearing Shi Heng's last words, it was Zhu Jianshen's turn to be stunned for a moment.
A very familiar passage.
Isn't this the pie that Yuan Chonghuan drew for Chairman Zhu Youjian when he became the general manager of Liaodong region?
Five years after returning to the Liao Dynasty, Zhu Youjian finally couldn't eat the big cake anymore, so he was chopped off...
The emperor should draw cakes for his ministers, and the ministers should feed his majesty the emperor cakes from time to time. Only in this way can the healthy development of the relationship between monarch and ministers be better promoted.
After Zhu Jianshen was stunned for a short time, he smiled: "Fifty thousand elite soldiers, half a million silver vehicles, and five years to regain Annan. Marquis Wuyang, you can really do it."
After Shi Heng heard this, he was about to pat his chest and make a promise when Zhu Jianshen said with a smile: "Marquis Wu Yang, there is no need to make a promise to me so quickly. You still have to put yourself in my shoes and give it a try before you know. Furthermore, destroying Annan's puppet court and restoring the administrative offices of our Ming Dynasty is a long process, which may be more difficult than using swords and soldiers, and the troops required are also more difficult than the Jurchen tribe in Liaodong."
After Shi Heng heard this, he hurriedly responded: "Your Majesty is wise, I think it's easy for me to think about the problem."
Zhu Jianshen waved his hand, and then asked earnestly: "Marquis Wu Yang, I leave this humiliating war to you, do you dare to fight?"
After Shi Heng heard Zhu Jianshen's words, he immediately replied loudly without any hesitation.
"Your Majesty, as a general of the Ming Dynasty, I dare not shirk the matter of avenging humiliation. I am willing to move forward and promise before Your Majesty that if Annan is not destroyed, I will never return to the court. If Annan is not stabilized, I will never return to the court. I will use Annan The blood and lives of those who rebel against the people will wash away the shame of our Ming Dynasty..."
Listening to Shi Heng's words, Zhu Jianshen, an extremely calm king, began to get excited.
"Okay, okay, this is my general, Shi Heng. I can give you the 50,000 elite soldiers you need, and I will also let you control all the troops in the three southwestern provinces. I will give you ten years and one million taels." The salary will be increased, but you must do what you said in front of me. If within ten years, you really create an Annan province for the Ming Dynasty, then I will give your Shi family the title of Duke Anguo. Just like the Mu family, we will enjoy the country’s grace from generation to generation.”
Shi Heng made a promise, and Zhu Jianshen responded immediately, telling him the title that Shi Heng longed for.
However, Zhu Jianshen still kept an eye on it and told the Shi family, but not Shi Heng.
This is not to treat Shi Heng unfairly. With his character, when he became a marquis, he was constantly troubled by being away from home for a long time. But when he became the most valuable Duke of the Ming Dynasty and the head of the title, it would be a big deal.
Once Shi Heng's title comes to an end, his life can also come to an end.
As for their uncle-nephew relationship, this is a private matter of the Shi family and is not among Zhu Jianshen's considerations.
After hearing Zhu Jianshen's words, Shi Heng felt excited and hurriedly said loudly: "Your Majesty, I will do my best to calm Annan as soon as possible and not let your Majesty down."
"Having said that, you still need to be very cautious about military formations. Vietnam has turbulent rivers and many mountains and forests, so you still need to take a long-term approach. You can choose generals who have fought in Annan in Beijing and ask them to go with you. That Wang Tong, you can take him with you. I only released him from prison last year. I believe that so many years in prison will make him even more hostile to Annan."
Wang Tong lost his territory and suffered consecutive defeats. After withdrawing his troops from Annan, he was imprisoned by Zhu Zhanji when he returned to the capital. When Zhu Jianshen wanted to launch troops against Annan, he issued an order to release him and gave him a prison sentence. A fictitious post as the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army, but Zhu Jianshen did not summon him. Not only Wang Tong, but also several younger generals were also released.
After being imprisoned for more than 20 years, he has grown from a prime man of more than 30 years to an old man in his sixties. Wang Tong hates the Annan rebels who caused his tragic ending. The most important thing is that he cannot fight, but he can't fight. After staying in Annan for two or three years, he still had some understanding of the main cities and terrain. Zhu Jianshen did not ask him to lead troops, but at most to serve as an aide.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"When Xu Youzhen came back from Jiangnan, I informed the court of the matter and ordered the southwestern provinces to prepare soldiers, grain and grass. Wang Wen, the former Minister of the Ministry of War, is now in charge of the new tax system in Guangdong and Guangxi. The preparation of grain, grass and armaments can be left to him. "
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"When an army goes on an expedition, it must be well-founded and the divisions must be famous. After you arrive in Yunnan, you must stabilize the rear. First, train the army so that it can fight in the jungle. Then, scare the chieftains so that they can provide men and money. , after Annan is pacified, they can also be given official land. We must use all our power, and it is best to let the court shed less blood." Although Zhu Jianshen was in front of him, he spoke proudly about the cost of additional millions of grains of silver, but Even now, I still feel a little distressed. At the moment, I also want Shi Heng to join forces with the chieftains of Yunnan to carry out a nuclear strike on Annan.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Shi Heng agreed quickly.
Zhu Jianshen became interested and talked more, and Shi Heng also responded one by one.
The monarch and his ministers chatted happily...
Shi Heng seemed to have forgotten the cold reception he received these days.
And Zhu Jianshen seemed to have forgotten the previous thunderous wrath.
Now, Shi Heng is the Southwest General of Annan for five years, and the relationship between Zhu Jianshen and Shi Heng has also reached the honeymoon period...
