Chapter 32: Wang Yue's Chance

Li Xian saw that Zhu Qizhen seemed to have been persuaded by Yang Hong, and immediately said: "Your Majesty has not already made Xiang Zhong the governor of Liangguang, but Xiang Zhong can be ordered to take charge of this matter." ”

Yang Hong said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Xiang Zhong is not very suitable. ”

"Xiang Zhong is certainly a capable minister, but the person who negotiates with Annan had better have experience in the army, otherwise it is impossible to convince the army, and although Xiang Zhong pacified Li Tianbao's rebellion, Li Tianbao is only a thousand fools and fools, and it is enough to break it with a thousand households. Therefore, Xiang Zhong is in charge of logistics, but interfering in the army may not be a good strategy. ”

Yang Hong, as a nobleman, is determined to safeguard the interests of the generals.

If it is said that the pacification of the Datengxia Rebellion was based on civil affairs and supplemented by military affairs, this is why Mao Sheng was under the governor of Liangguang.

But that's no longer the case.

The attack on Annan is a national war, and if it is presided over by a civil minister, then the power of the Ming nobles will be cut off. This is what Yang Hong definitely does not want to see.

Li Xian said: "Chang Guogong, don't you know what the arrogant soldiers below are like, let them talk to Annan, what they can talk about in the end, it is better to fight directly, and it is more refreshing." ”

If it's a cabinet meeting, Li Xian still has to leave some decency.

But now in private, Li Xian's tone is also aggressive. There is no emotion at all.

You must know that the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty in this era are not weak martial artists, and the situation in history when the palace hammers people to death is the fourteenth year of orthodoxy.

If a civilian official can fight better than a general, Zhu Qizhen is not too surprised.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Okay, okay, what Mr. Li said is very true, can Changguo Gong have a suitable candidate?" ”

Yang Hong said: "Yes, it is Wang Yue." ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard the name Wang Yue, his heart moved, and he said, "Yes, Wang Yue is a suitable one." ”

Although Wang Yue is in the army, he has been working in the system of judges, in fact, what he does can be counted more among civilian officers.

Of course, there is no such thing in this era.

And Wang Yue is also from a person's background, if it weren't for the orthodox fourteen years, he would have put pen to paper, and now it is not a matter to take a jinshi, but he is a rare person in the army who is both civil and military.

Zhu Qizhen is also very important.

Other generals may deliberately provoke war because of their military exploits, but Wang Yue will not.

Moreover, Wang Yue also has a lot of prestige in the Beijing camp, although he has never fought a war, but his prestige in the army cannot be underestimated, and he can also suppress the army.

In this way, he can be literate and martial, know righteousness, and have the advantage of his tongue, so he is an excellent candidate to negotiate with Annan.

Li Xian also appreciates this candidate.

After all, lifting people is already a reserve army for civilian officials. Li Xian regarded Wang Yue as half of his own. Therefore, he said: "The minister has no objection. ”

In this way, Wang Yuexin got an errand and was the chief judge of the Southern Army.

Although the system of adjudicators in the southern army has not yet been effective, and although the entire system of adjudicators has been implemented throughout the army, what really has practical results is still the Beijing camp and the border army, and the judges in the armies of the southern provinces, which are more of an ornament.

However, since Wang Yue wants to hold this position, he will never let this position become an ornament.

Zhu Qizhen summoned Wang Yue to teach him face-to-face.

After Wang Yue was ordered, he took hundreds of followers and sailed south. From Tianjin to the sea, along with the northwest wind that has just risen, all the way to Guangzhou, and then to Guilin.

First of all, declare the decree.

Mao Sheng was the general of the expedition to the south, and he was the commander-in-chief of Liangguang and even a group of people in Beijing. and commanded him to call up the ministries. Prepare for the attack on Annam.

Counting the various departments of Tusi, and even the local army, and the Beijing camp, there are as many as 150,000 in total, although the good and the bad are mixed, but it is enough to fight with the Annan army.

Wang Yue naturally explained the emperor's meaning to Mao Sheng in detail.

Mao Sheng listened and said: "In other words, whether to fight or not, but it depends on an envoy?" ”

Wang Yue said: "General Zhengnan, this is Your Majesty's will, do you want to go against Your Majesty's will?" ”

"Don't dare." Mao Sheng immediately said: "It's just that the army is so prosperous, is it just for bluffing?" Annan is a country of projectiles, which can be destroyed with a snap of a finger, why is this so? ”

Wang Yue said: "Annan is not an ordinary small country, the general should be cautious." ”

How Mao Sheng muttered in his heart, others don't know. It took him a long time before he opened his mouth and said: "Okay, according to the will of the judge, if you don't say that you will fight, I will never point a finger at Annan, but how should the prince be placed?" ”

Wang Yue said: "Your Majesty's meaning, just let the prince sit in the rear with the army." ”

This can be regarded as getting rid of Mao Sheng's thoughts, and the prince is under his command, which is not good news for the general. Mao Sheng suddenly remembered something and asked, "Has the envoy ever set off?" ”

Wang Yue said: "It's already gone." ”

Mao Sheng said: "Let's start with such a large army." ”

Immediately, Mao Sheng led an army of 100,000 to the west of Taiping Mansion, and the troops were on the border between the two countries, and in the direction of Yunnan in the west, he also hoarded Lin'an, also waiting for news from Guangxi.

Once the war started, it was the Guangxi side that launched first, and then the Yunnan army set off, and the two armies of more than 200,000 attacked Annan, including nearly 100,000 Tusi soldiers, mainly Yunnan and Guangxi Tusi. Of course, there are also some Guizhou toasts.

In short, almost the entire Great Toast of the Southwest was drafted.

After all, these Tusi soldiers are not necessarily a stabilizing factor in the local area.

And the Ming envoy and the Ministry of Rites gave Wang Yu in the matter, and now he has entered the territory of Annan. He had several missions, namely, to demand the land of the two states, as well as all the land on the border between the two countries that Annan had usurped. If Annan agrees, he will be crowned king of Annan. And observe how the situation in Annan is.

Even though the Ming Dynasty arranged a lot of eyeliner in Annan, the real movements of the upper class may not be clear to the people at the lower level. Many of them are also false, and only by going deep into them can we know the truth and falsehood.

It's just that Wang Yu didn't expect that as soon as he entered Shenglong City, he would be hung up.

Because, on the contrary, his arrival stimulated the contradictions between the monarch and the minister.

Now the king of Annan, the commander of Annan in the Ming Dynasty, the original king of Yishan. Li Yimin. At this moment, he is also in a fierce struggle with the old minister's faction.

In the eyes of many people, the king of Annam did not seem to have done a good thing after killing his younger brother, that is, after the first emperor ascended the throne, killing old ministers everywhere. Suspicious both inside and outside, there was an atmosphere of terror inside and outside Thang Long City.

But in his position, it was also a last resort.

Whose old ministers are these meritorious veterans?

It is Nguyen Thi Anh's old minister, Nguyen Thi Anh supported the two-year-old Le Bang Kei, who has been in power for more than 20 years, and in the past 20 years, the Annam dynasty has been thriving.

Just think about it.

Li Yimin took advantage of Ruan Thi Anh's unpreparedness to kill him and ascend the throne after Le Thi Anh did not mean that his political power could be compared to Ruan Thi Anh.

Although Nguyen Thi Anh is dead, Le Yi Min still fights with Nguyen Thi Anh's ghost again.

It's just that at this point, Li Yimin is a little less smart.

He seems to have been in the fief for decades, and he is still obsessed with the position of the crown prince at the beginning, so he kills a lot, and does not give these old ministers a way to live at all.

Ants still steal life, let alone people.

Li Yimin also seemed to feel that the atmosphere was not quite right.

And at this time, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty was like a stone smashed into the turbulent pool of the dark tide. All of a sudden, a chain reaction was triggered.

After Li Yimin seized the throne, he immediately sent envoys to ask the Ming Dynasty to canonize him. I want to rely on the authority of the Ming Dynasty to stabilize my throne.

It's just that he didn't expect Da Ming to suddenly come to such a hand.

In Daming's view, the land of these two states is Annan's encroachment on Daming's land, but this is not the case for Annan, this is the land they fought down at the beginning, how can it be returned to Daming just by virtue of a few words.

Li Yimin already felt that his position was a little shaky, and if such a thing happened again, his position would definitely be unstable.

But if he didn't do this, the Ming army would be hundreds of miles away. Will he be able to resist the Ming army at that time?

That's what worries him as well.
