Volume 3 Chapter 156 This wave is not a loss
Jiajing's mind was really a little messy at this moment, Yan Song, Xia Yan and Zheng Weiyi teamed up to make a mess in his mind.
Annan Moshi actually wants to attack the southwest border of the Ming Dynasty, how good is this!
He really doesn't know what to do, since he succeeded to the throne, the south and the north have not been broken, he is already a little difficult to deal with, at this time plus an Annan, the Ming Dynasty is attacked on three sides, what to do?
He was stunned for a long time, and then frowned and said, "Gong Jin, what do you think should be done with this Annan matter?" ”
Xia Yan pretended to ponder for a while, and then said decisively: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that it is necessary to strike first, organize a large army, and help the Annan Li clan to quell the rebellion. ”
This is indeed reasonable, at this time, Annan is still fighting against the Mo family, Mo Dengyong must be distracted and divided his troops to deal with those who oppose him, so it is relatively easy to clean up, if he destroys all the opposition forces and goes all out to fight with Daming, it will be difficult to deal with, after all, there are more than 100,000 troops in their hands.
Question: At this time, the Ming court has no money, how to organize a large army to go to Annan to quell the rebellion?
When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Alas, I also know that I should take advantage of the fact that his country has not yet stabilized, so the question is where does the food for this counterinsurgency army come from?" ”
This one!
Xia Yan pretended to be embarrassed, and didn't say anything for a while.
No money, what kind of war?
Anyone with a bit of a brain knows that fighting a war costs money, and the so-called "soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved", if you organize a large army, you must at least give people food to eat, and you have no food to eat, even if there are 100,000 or even a million troops, you still have to starve to death!
Xia Yan pretended to be embarrassed for a while, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think of Lord Yang Congyang?" ”
Yang Cong?
When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised: "What do you mean, let Qingfeng go to Annan to quell the rebellion?" ”
This is what you said, Xia Yan hurriedly nodded and said: "The emperor is wise, the only way to do this is to invite Lord Yang to come out." Although Weichen has some contradictions with Lord Yang, he also has to admire Lord Yang's talent, the Southeast Pirates and Wolves also have more than 100,000, and Lord Yang has suppressed all the pirates and Wolves without spending a penny from the imperial court. Now, I'm afraid that only Lord Yang can clean up Annan Mo's without spending a penny from the imperial court. ”
This is indeed reasonable, when the imperial court has no money, only an official like Yang Cong who can find a way to raise military expenses can organize a large army to go to Annan to quell the rebellion.
But what about the Southeast?
Yang Cong is playing a self-respecting strategy at this time, Jiajing doesn't know that this guy has almost wiped out pirates and pirates.
He couldn't help but ask: "Qingfeng is leaving, what should I do with the southeast?" ”
Xia Yan could only stubbornly flicker: "Wechen thinks that the pirates and pirates in the southeast are no longer to worry about, in the past two years, there have been few places in the southeastern provinces to play pirates and pirates and robbers, which proves that Lord Yang has almost wiped out the pirates and pirates, and at this time, the coastal defense of the southeastern provinces is very stable, and the strength of the naval divisions in the provinces should not be underestimated, Weichen believes that the pirates and pirates should not dare to go ashore to loot anymore, after Lord Yang leaves, as long as a competent official is sent to guard, there should be no problem." ”
He is purely talking nonsense to fool Jiajing, it is estimated that even he didn't expect that the pirates and pirates in the southeast have indeed been almost suppressed by Yang Cong, and he really said it right.
When Jiajing heard this, he began to hesitate again.
In the past two years, there have indeed been no local governors in the southeastern provinces to report the piracy and piracy of pirates, and the pirates and pirates in the southeast should have been almost suppressed, even if there are still some remnants, they should not dare to make any changes under the deterrence of the guards, foot soldiers, and sailors.
This Yang Cong is indeed good, no matter what the problem, it can be properly dealt with in his hands, before Yang Cong went to the southeast, who would have thought that he could restore peace to the entire southeast in just a few years.
It seems that this Annan matter can only let Yang Cong go out, and the others go, it's really useless.
Thinking of this, he nodded slowly and said: "Well, Qingfeng has done a very good job in the southeast in recent years, and the pirates and pirates should not be able to set off any storms, so according to what you said, transfer Yang Cong to the southwest to quell the rebellion." ”
It's done, this little emperor is really fooling!
Although Jiajing is in his twenties at this time, he is just a hairy boy in the eyes of Xia Yan, who is sixty or seventy years old.
To be honest, Xia Yan sometimes really looks down on Jiajing.
Of course, even if he looked down on Jiajing in his heart and didn't dare to say it, he dared to despise it in his heart, on the surface, he still respectfully bowed his hand and said: "The emperor is wise." ”
Are you wise?
It seems to be!
Isn't this Yang Cong promoted by himself, if it weren't for his discernment and talent, how could a new champion be promoted from the Hanlin Academy to the right of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the governor of Xuanda, and from the governor of Xuanda to the right deputy envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the governor of the military department.
When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart.
This Yang Cong is well promoted, and those who give him a long face like this should be vigorously promoted.
Thinking of this, he said without hesitation: "Originally, the last time Qingfeng exterminated the great pirate, Chen Sipan should have added six Shangshu titles, but this time he can be regarded as a successful retirement in the southeast, and it is impossible to say that such a great achievement of exterminating pirates and pirates is not rewarded, and these six Shangshu titles should be hung up on him." ”
This!
When Xia Yan heard this, he just wanted to give himself a big mouth.
Why didn't you count that?
Now it's okay, they took Yang Cong away as they wished, but Yang Cong was also promoted to the sixth Shangshu because of this, if this guy took shit luck and really destroyed Mo Dengyong, wouldn't he come back and enter the cabinet!
Alas, what a shot in the foot!
That's it, that's it.
It's hard for him to speak out against it at this time, just now he "abandoned prejudices" and praised Yang Cong fiercely, if he suddenly spoke out against the promotion of Yang Cong at this time, wouldn't it be inconsistent, Jiajing can see the trickiness even if he is confused.
Besides, Mo Dengyong is not so easy to destroy, and Yang Cong doesn't know what the result will be when he goes.
He simply gritted his teeth and clapped his hand against his will: "The emperor is wise." ”
Hearing this, Jiajing nodded slightly, enjoyed a "wise" sycophant, and then said leisurely: "That's okay, just promote Yang Cong to be the right deputy imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the secretary of the military department, and the governor of Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Sichuan provinces, and set out to conquer Annan and pacify the rebellion of Mo Dengyong!" ”
Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, and Guangxi are just that, because these four provinces are close to Annan, why add Sichuan, Sichuan is not a small place, you can't cheap Yang Cong for nothing.
Xia Yan subconsciously said: "Your Majesty, Sichuan seems to be a little far away from Annan, right?" ”
Jiajing said undoubtedly: "Yang Cong is the governor of the five southeastern provinces, and there must be one less province to be transferred to the southwest. ”
When Xia Yan heard this, he could only sigh in his heart, alas, the emperor said so, what else can he do?
Fortunately, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, and Guangxi are all well-known poor places, even if it is Sichuan, it is not rich, and Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Shandong are almost the richest provinces in the Ming Dynasty.
Hehe, Yang Cong, you just go to the western land where birds don't and toss, and see what tricks you can toss!
