Xue Sancai did not ask the emperor about how to allocate soldiers and salaries, because the emperor's appearance told this soldier that His Majesty's physical condition at this time was really not good.

After returning to the military headquarters, there were two more urgent documents from Liaodong, and looking at these two urgent deliveries written on rice paper, Xue Sancai's heart was like a boulder.

After a long time, Xue Sancai waved his hand and ordered the scholars to call the attendants, langzhong, and people in the hall. Military information is a matter for the Ministry of War, and before the cabinet is known or even a court meeting is held, the Ministry of War must have corresponding measures to come out.

During the discussion, Huo Weihua proposed two measures in the military department, that is, to immediately dispatch military horses from various towns to aid Liao, and the other is to immediately raise military salaries.

"Where can the soldiers in each town be allocated if they are not paid, only when there is a salary, there are soldiers, and only when there is a salary can there be warriors." Huo Weihua, who used to be the magistrate of Jintan County, Nanzhili, is quite pragmatic.

Zhao Xingbang muttered to Zhao Xingbang in the middle of the incident: "Liaodong has owed more than 500,000 military salaries over the years, even if it is difficult for the household department, if you want to quell the chaos now, you have to send half of it first to deal with the emergency, otherwise who will be willing to go into battle?" ”

"If the household department doesn't give the silver, the official will play. However, our military department also owes Liaole more than 100,000 taels of silver, and we can make up some emergency with this money. ”

Xue Sancai made a decision, and the matter of salary was decided, but when it came to the transfer of troops and generals, all the officials of the military department were in difficulty, because where were there still generals available in this dynasty.

Li Chengliang died, Li Rusong died, Li Rumei died, and the other sons were too far apart. Only one Li Rubai has been in Liaodong anyway, so he shouldn't be a layman. But how can one Li Rubai do it alone, and everyone thinks about others.

It is said that Juniper is feasible, this person is quite brave, he takes the lead in the battle, never retreats, and can be transferred to Liaodong.

It is also said that Liu Wei is feasible, he is the son of Liu Xian, the governor of the capital, who has fought the Burmese in the southwest, the Mongols in Ningxia, Yang Yinglong in Banzhou, the Japanese in Korea, and Chen Lan have fought water battles together.

It is also said that Ma Lin, the son of the famous general Ma Fang, can also be used, and everyone said that the generals mentioned a lot, but the handsome talents did not follow.

In the area of reinforcement of conscription and horses, the military department reached an agreement, that is, immediately dispatched troops from Gansu, Zhejiang, Fujian and other provinces to exterminate them.

In the specific plan, the Ministry of War plans to draw about 30,000 fine horsemen from the three towns of Xuanfu, Datong and Shanxi; Yansui Town, Ningxia Town, Gansu Town, and Guyuan Town, with a total of about 25,000 troops; Sichuan, Guangdong, Shandong, Shaanxi, North Zhili, South Zhili, a total of about 20,000 troops; Zhejiang Fashan fought 4,000 infantry of the Zhejiang army.

In addition, the Tusi soldiers in Yongshun, Baojing, and Shizhou, and the Tusi soldiers in Hexi and Xixi, the number of each ranged from two to three thousand, a total of about 7,000 people.

In this way, the total number of troops aiding Liao and Ming is about 86,000, and the soldiers and horses of the allied army of the Ming Dynasty, Ye Hebu, and the generals of the vassal Korea, can reach more than 100,000 in total.

Coupled with the original 40,000 soldiers in Liaodong Town, the Ming army on paper will be more than twice the size of the rebels in Jianzhou.

So, Xue Sancai reported the plan for the salary and soldiers, and the cabinet side approved Xue's plan from Zhe, but the household department did not admit it, saying that there was really no money to support such a big military operation.

As soon as the lawsuit between the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household was fought, it was endless, and the angry Xue Sancai simply stacked his burden and did not do it, Fang Congzhe saw that this was not good, so he gave the emperor a note, suggesting that Huang Jiashan, who was the former governor of the three sides, the secretary of the military department and the crown prince Taibao, go to Beijing to take over as the secretary of the military department.

Huang Jiashan, who was already 70 years old, heard that there was something going on in Liaodong, and that there was no one in charge of the military department, so he generously took office and went to Beijing to discuss military affairs.

However, with his knowledge of the northern Tatar cavalry and many years of experience in managing the army on the three sides, Huang Jiashan believed that although the rebels in Jianzhou were only 60,000 or 70,000 people, they were all elite soldiers who followed Nurhachi across the Jurchens and the Mongols.

"Gather troops, order the generals to contact each other, and attack and abuse the enemy in turn, and be trapped; Don't seek to be close to the profit, just look forward to flattening. ”

Huang Jiashan's opinion is very simple, that is, to gather the army mobilized by the imperial court in one place, and slowly advance towards Jianzhou by virtue of the superiority of soldiers and equipment, as if abusing the enemy, so that Jianzhou will not be able to gnaw and move, and finally trap it.

This plan was met with many impatience from the ministers who participated in the court meeting, and even accused Huang Jiashan of "blunt avoidance" and attacked it in groups.

The reason is that if Huang Jiashan's plan is implemented, the consumption of soldiers' salaries and grain and grass alone will be astronomical, and it is not at all something that the current treasury can inevitably afford.

Even in the midst of the troublesome military and household departments, the mainstream argument is to hope for a quick solution. Otherwise, the words of the officials of the user department will drag on, and Daming will die.

Fighting back and forth, nothing can be fought.

There was smoke in Liaodong, but the official documents of the Ministry of War could not be sent, Fang Congzhe was really anxious, so he entered the palace to ask for a face.

Lord Shoufu didn't ask for anything else, but only asked the emperor to give someone who could be the commander and preside over the overall situation of Pingliao.

He really couldn't carry this burden.

As the first assistant, Fang Congzhe did not dare to act alone, and even did not dare to make it clear which party's opinion he supported, which was really painful.

Not long ago, his eldest son, Fang Shihong, a Ming Shangbao Bureau, was implicated in a murder case.

Fang Shihong became an idle official because of his father, and he became a prodigal son in the capital. When he was a prostitute, he was involved in the death of a woman in the Qinglou, so he was impeached and removed from office by the Imperial History of the City Patrol. At that time, it was rumored that the prostitute was beaten to death by Fang Shihong, so there was a lot of discussion.

Fang Congzhe discussed the fate of local people and wanted to take the blame and resign.

After Wanli, who was seriously ill, learned of this, he said that Fang Congzhe did not have to resign, your son was mistakenly participated in by the imperial history, and the woman was injured by a frightened horse.

In this way, Fang Congzhe was able to continue to stay in office, but this incident damaged his image and greatly reduced his prestige.

If there is nothing to do in Liaodong, Fang Congzhe can slow down for a while, but now that the house leaks and rains, with his current prestige, where can he preside over this big event.

Fang Congzhe urgently needed someone to come out to suppress the dissenting opinions of all parties, and quickly settled the Liao matter.

As early as more than a year ago, when Shen Zheng, the fourth Ming Xianggong, passed away, Yao Zongwen of the Zhejiang Party gave Fang Xianggong 10,000 taels of silver for others, saying that he asked Fang Xianggong to take care of one person.

Yang Ho.

When Yao Zongwen sent the money, he only said that Yang Hao was talented, familiar with Liao affairs, and could be used in the future. But how to use it, Fang Congzhe made a difficulty, but now he has the bottom.

Didn't Yang Hao know Liao, he was the governor of Liaodong, he also did the strategy of aiding the dynasty, and he defeated the Mongolian Dehua tribe in Liaofu, so let him go to Liaodong to pacify and establish a state now.

Fang Congzhe's request for a meeting was naturally indispensable, and the major military situation in Liaodong could no longer help but let Wanli do nothing.

"Yang Ho?"

Hearing Fang Congzhe's recommendation of Yang Hao as the Liaodong Economic Strategy, Wanli felt a little surprised, because yesterday the noble concubine Niangniang also mentioned Yang Hao to him.
