Chapter 299: The Arrogant Wang Yue

After Wang Yue arrived in Jizhen, the greatest pleasure was to send good news every day.

Yes, almost every day!

As we all know, even if it is a codeword, it is very difficult to keep it updated every day, after all, you will encounter Kavin's situation, but Wang Yue will not, his thinking is always so peculiar, and the angle is tricky enough.

For example, as soon as he recovered Dushan Fort, he immediately sent a boundary monument of Hongwu Year to the imperial court, which is a symbol of the restoration of the hometown of Hongwu Dynasty!

As a descendant of the Zhu family, of course Zhu Houxi can go to Taimiao and talk to the old Zhu Yanse.

Seeing no, the place where Emperor Yongle gave up, let me get it back, I Zhu Houxi is the perfect inheritor of Taizu's spiritual horse and foundation, more orthodox than Emperor Taizong!

Turning the day, Wang Yue sent another piece of Yongle Dynasty, the stone carving of the desert, where Zhu Di arrived, we also came, when it comes to military exploits, we are almost the same as Zhu Laosi.

Within two days, Wang Yue reported that the army went out of the fortress and burned a piece of grassland, according to estimates, there would be at least tens of thousands of war horses, starving to death because of lack of food, a proper victory!

The military department, which is devastated by the good news every day, has no more tears.

Suffice it to say that they have never seen such a brazen person!

At this moment, Lao Wang Qiong's health is too bad to deal with government affairs, and the affairs of the military department are in charge of Li Yue, the left waiter. This person is a Jinshi during the Hongzhi period, the qualifications are very old, after Yang Yiqing entered Beijing, he replaced Yang Yiqing, responsible for trilateral military affairs, recent personnel changes, he was transferred to the capital, and was regarded as the best candidate to replace Wang Qiong, as the best candidate for Shangshu.

By the way, after experiencing the Liu Jin account book incident, more than 20 old ministers were expelled from the court, and the entire six departments of the Ming Dynasty cabinet were adjusted.

And it's a very big adjustment.

In terms of the cabinet, due to the death of Yuan Zonggao, Zhu Houxi had to transfer Fei Hong, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Shi Xuan (bao), the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to the cabinet.

These two old ministers are known for their reputations, and Shilin has a high reputation.

And they have been suppressed in Nanjing, and they don't deal with Yang Tinghe and the party, and in general, they are a neutral force.

Zhu Houxi led these two into the cabinet, obviously meaning to balance Zhang Xuan, lest this guy rush too hard and mess up the rhythm.

Some people judge that His Majesty wants to be more restrained, after all, the Jiajing New Deal, in the final analysis, is still to eradicate Yang Tinghe and the first line, and now that it has been done, it is time to beat the drum and buy sugar, and do their own thing, which is completely unnecessary and makes the world chaotic.

With these two old ministers here, it is estimated that the world will be peaceful for a while.

Especially Wang Yue, who can toss the most, also went to Jizhen, and he can really breathe a sigh of relief.

People with such fantasies obviously ignore another thing, although Zhu Houxi has released two cabinet seats, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu has become a member of the Imperial Party!

Not only him, but another core of the imperial party, Gui Cao, served as the secretary of the Criminal Department.

Coupled with Sun Jiao, who still controls the household department, Zhu Houxi got half of the six departments.

This is not the end, Zhu Houxi asked Fang Xianfu to take over the Duchayuan, and at the same time pushed Yan Song to the position of Dali Siqing...... This dazzling operation has completely reversed the balance of power in the court.

Under the condition that the cabinet still maintained its advantage, half of the six ministries were placed in the hands of the imperial party, and the three law divisions were also controlled by Zhu Houxi.

Since then, the Son of Heaven has an extra sharp knife, which can vigorously rectify the court and will never be hindered and interfered with again. And this situation also marks the all-round rise of the upstart of Yili.

There is Zhang Xuan in the cabinet, and there are Xi Shu, Gui Cao, Fang Xianfu, and Yan Song in the six ministries...... It's just that the imperial party is not monolithic, in addition to these upstarts, including Yang Yiqing and Jia Yong, there are also discords between these old ministers and upstarts.

Perhaps intentionally, the court at this moment is just showing a three-legged situation.

Of course, there is another person who has the ability to change the pattern of power, and that is Wang Yue of Jizhen.

"Elder Yang Ge, look at this good news, for so many years, Xia Guan has never seen such a good report." Li Yue, the squire of the military department, cried, "Yuanfu, look at it, Wang Yue burned down a grassland, just tell the imperial court, it will be tens of thousands of war horses." This, how can this be said like that! ”

The new university scholar Fei Hong still didn't understand, "This ...... Questions?"

Li Yue couldn't cry or laugh, "Ge Lao, this livestock is alive, and the grassland is not this one, Wang Yue burned the grassland, which is indeed meritorious, but if it is so successful, wouldn't it be impossible to treat everyone in the world as a fool!" ”

The big guy surrendered his eyes to Yang Yiqing, and said in his heart, what do you say!

"Everyone, burn the hay, drive out the Tartars, and weaken their power to the south. This is the usual method used to deal with the Tartars in all dynasties, and it has also proved to be an effective method. Wang Yue's success, although there is a suspicion of exaggeration, but in the entire nine sides, only Ji Town continues to forge ahead, expand its territory, and act actively. ”

The old man thought that if he did it, he would not do it well, and Wang Yue's actual contribution may not be great, but his attitude is very important. The imperial court needs such young people, who are constantly active and enterprising, and sooner or later there will be a day when the border troubles will be calmed! ”

Li Yue's old face shrank into a dog ignoring the buns, which was unpalatable and ugly.

"Yuanfu, Lord Wang's ears are all kinds of things, it is only twenty or thirty miles away from Xifengkou, not to mention this piece, even if it is a hundred miles deeper, the Tartars don't care, this is the place where Hu and Han live together, and the place of chicken ribs...... Take it, it's also meatless! ”

"Say no more!" Yang Yiqing waved his hand displeased, "When Wang Yue first arrived in Jizhen, he vigorously rectified the soldiers, boosted morale, and took the initiative to attack, which is already very rare, and the military department really shouldn't be hindered." In this way, in response to his repeated successes, a reward of 50,000 taels of silver will be given to the whole town of Ji. ”

Li Yue still wanted to speak, but Yang Yiqing didn't like to listen to it anymore.

"Okay, the old man is tired, you can step down!"

Li Yue was helpless and could only retreat, but Fei Hong stood up, "I'll send Master Li." ”

When the two of them left the duty room, Fei Hong said in a low voice: "Lord Li, Wang Yue's actions in Jizhen are not a big victory, but they are also a good thing."

"Oops!" Li Yue sighed, "I said Elder Ge, if this is a good thing, do I need to worry so much!" Now that Wang Yue has brought the men and horses beyond the Great Wall, the Dushan Fort can't be defended at all. I'm afraid that if something happens, the Tartars will break through the Xifeng Pass from here, and then the Jingshi will be shaken, who can afford this sin! ”

Li Yue has been leading soldiers for many years and has rich experience.

As soon as he analyzed it like this, Fei Hong suddenly realized.

Wang Yue's toss will not only be useless, but will also expose his weaknesses and attract Tartars to attack...... If something happens to Dushan Fort, Xifengkou will be in danger, Xifengkou will not be guaranteed, and the capital will be shaken.

That's a big deal!

If you don't know it, there will be a lot of people and a river of blood, even if the Son of Heaven likes Wang Yue no matter how much he likes him, he can't protect him...... Moreover, Yang Yiqing and Wang Yue are really close, if Wang Yue falls, Yang Yiqing will definitely be implicated, and the position of the first assistant to the cabinet will not be kept...... It's really an unfortunate thing, it's so unfortunate!

……

"I said, my lord, you are using the good news every day to explore the movements of the capital, this trick is really amazing! Now that the capital is in turmoil, you can't hide anything from your eyes, and the most important thing is to confuse those people and make them think that you don't know anything! Zhang Jing admired Wang Yue more and more, and he felt that he had made a lot of money by giving up his official position and coming to Wang Yue as a senator.

Wang Yue smiled bitterly, "I can't help it, whoever makes the court of the Ming Dynasty is a sieve, believe it or not, now someone has sent a message to the Tartars and asked them to fight." ”

Zhang Jing gritted his teeth, "My lord, I remember that Yang Minggong said that it is easy to break the thief in the mountain, but it is difficult to break the thief in the heart." This is really deafening! If you look at the Ming Dynasty as a person, this person is sick, and he is still riddled with diseases, if you want to do something, you must not only beware of your opponent, but also beware of your own people, it is really difficult! ”

Wang Yue smiled slightly, "You're right, but I also want to say that in the world, fighting with the sky is endless, fighting with the earth is endless, and fighting with people is even more enjoyable!" ”

When Zhang Jing heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, Yang Ming Gong sighed that the world was difficult, but Wang Yue said bluntly that he was fighting the heavens and the earth, and this spirit was even better than Yang Ming Gong!

"Your Excellency!" Zhang Jing wanted to say something, but Wang Yue had already gotten up and patted his buttocks,

"Let's go, let's go to Dushan Fort to have a look, see how the cultivation is, no matter what happens outside, as long as Dushan Fort can be stabilized, we won't be afraid of anything!"

Wang Yue and Zhang Jing came to Dushan Fort again, and by the time they arrived, it had become a tense construction site.

Tang Shunzhi was commanding the repair of the city.

When Wang Yue came, Tang Shunzhi had time to greet him.

"My lord, you've got this idea in mind!"

Tang Shunzhi gave Wang Yue advice on how to repair the city.

First, dig a trench about one zhang deep in the ground, then stuff the trench with wooden piles, and then backfill it with sand and soil to make it stronger, and at the same time, cover the outside of the wooden piles with three layers of red bricks.

Skeletons were made of wood, skins were made of masonry, and fortresses were cast...... The biggest advantage is that the speed is fast, and it is very fast, from Wang Yue's decision to build the fortress, it is only half a month now, the pentagonal fortress has completed two corners, Tang Shunzhi is sure, before the snow falls, all the fortresses will be repaired, and the entire huge project will be completed.

Of course, the disadvantage of this is also obvious, that is, it is too much money!

All of them are logs with the thickness of the bowl mouth, which must be absolutely strong, and can be used as beams in ordinary people's homes, and can only be used as foundation walls here.

Where did Wang Yue get so much wood?

In fact, it's not difficult, isn't he overseeing the outer city!

The Guo family, Marquis of Wuding, was responsible for transporting timber from Liaodong, but Wang Yue secretly intercepted it. Moreover, when the West Mountain was raided, there were so many temples, and the main hall of the temple was fine, but they were all fine wood, which was originally demolished to restore the urban area that was destroyed by the explosion of Wang Gongchang.

As a result, Wang Yue said hello to the old queen mother and sent her over directly.

Just ask, the great Ming Dynasty, whose face is so big

The wood problem was solved, and the bricks were also brought from the Xishan brick kiln.

Now the only problem is the adhesive.

Wang Yue is not a science and engineering man, and he has no confidence in the cement that many of his predecessors have made. And any new product can't be built overnight.

If you burn out the cement, you can use it immediately

Wang Yue expressed doubts, especially in the grassland desert, in winter, when the wind and snow are low, what if the cement is broken

So Wang Yue decided to use mature technology, he made 50,000 stone glutinous rice from Taicang and sent it to Tang Shunzhi to repair the city.

glutinous rice juice, plus lime, plus yellow sand, clay ...... This thing is made of walls, and it's almost the same as concrete.

"My lord, it's such a luxury, you don't know that when the city is repaired, there are craftsmen crying...... They said that such a good glutinous rice, how good it is to use it as an evaporated cake! It's a waste to repair the city. ”

Wang Yue said: "If they are willing to evaporate the cake, let them steam it." Now that the weather is getting cooler and faster, you have to store more food, and in every castle, you have to dig a well to ensure that the water is supplied. ”

Tang Shunzhi nodded, "Don't worry, my lord, I know all this." ”

After a pause, Tang Shunzhi said: "My lord, the problem now is weapons, I don't know how much adults can provide"

Wang Yue smiled, "You can have as much as you want!" ”

"Seriously"

Tang Shunzhi was pleasantly surprised.

Wang Yue simply led him out directly, and when he reached the front of the carriage, Wang Yue jumped into the carriage and unfolded the wooden box, which was full of the newly made Lu Mi Gong!

"It's a total of 1,000 firecrackers, and I'll give you not one for each person, but three for each person, do you know how to use them?"

Tang Shunzhi's eyes lit up, "I know, why don't I know!" We'll pack the firecrackers in advance, and when the Tartars come to kill them, we'll bombard them hard! Your Excellency, you are so arrogant! ”

Wang Yue laughed, "There are even more arrogant!" ”

He led Tang Shunzhi to the back.

The wheels of these last wagons were so embedded in the earth that they were filled with cannons!

"Eight Xiyi artillery, there are not many of them, you can save some of them, but there is no problem with trebuchets, I'll send you a hundred when I go back......"

After talking to Wang Yue, Tang Shunzhi was completely speechless.

Oh my God!

The Admiral is simply inhuman!

If you are anyone, you are not willing to fight like this, what kind of war is this, it is simply to buy victory with money!

Now Tang Shunzhi's only worry is that if the tartar is not baited, won't the adults lose a lot...... But it seems that even if the tartar is hooked, the adults won't make anything!
