Emperor Hongzhi wanted to completely quell the troubles in the northwest, which was not just proposed today, and he has been preparing for the past few years, but he has never made the trip. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Different from the previous situation of lack of money, food, and materials, after the implementation of the plan to garrison troops and grain in the past few years, there has been a lot of abundance of military rations and materials, and the morale of officers and men has been high, and the conditions for sending troops have been fully met.

Although the British Duke Zhang Mao and the Baoguo Duke Zhu Hui can lead the troops, Zhang Mao has always been wise to protect himself, coupled with the fact that he has never fought a horse in his life and has been absent from the battle for a long time, he is at most a banner figure in the military, but he is not the best candidate to serve as the commander of the army.

As for Zhu Hui, he is simply a wreck, and what he is best at is passive slack.

Liu Daxia's troops were blocked back then, if it weren't for Shen Xi's insistence on sending troops, Zhu Hui could even stay in Yulin Wei and watch Liu Daxia's entire army annihilated without planning to help.

After thinking about it, Emperor Hongzhi naturally figured out that the most suitable candidate to lead the troops was Liu Daxia, who already had experience in leading troops and won him dignity and honor.

But Liu Daxia is old and healthy, and his health has not been very good after returning to the court, and if the emperor sends Liu Daxia out without kindness, it will inevitably provoke the handle.

Xie Qian thought to himself: "It must be Emperor Hongzhi who asked Shi Yong for advice, Shi Yong looked around the court's ministers and saw that no one could be entrusted with the important task, so he carried Shen Xi, this kid, out." ”

"The emperor naturally wouldn't believe that a stinky kid could command the three armies, Liu Daxia saw that he couldn't shirk it, so he said that he could take command of the expedition, but Shen Xi must become his assistant!"

"This just explains why Yongyi praised Shen Xi to His Majesty again, and even did not hesitate to distort the fact that Shen Xi only gained an inch of merit in the southeast!"

Thinking of this, Xie Qian was angry...... You Liu Daxia is really despicable and shameless, Your Majesty asked you to lead the troops, you just go, why do you have to pull my grandson-in-law up?

Shen Xi served as the governor of the three provinces of Fujian and Guangdong, and now that more than half of the three years have passed, half of his political achievements have been completed, and it is presumably just around the corner that the bandits will be quelled.

In this way, after three years, I can use my connections to transfer Shen Xizheng back to the court, maybe I can take that crucial step and be directly promoted from the local governor to the sixth minister, and his entry into the cabinet is just around the corner, do you want to drag him to death? It's not enough to be sent to death, it's just going to ruin your reputation!

Recovering the Hetao and sending troops to the steppe?

Are the Tatars so easy to deal with?

How many people have returned from the triumph of the nomads in history? How many so-called famous generals have sunk into the sand, and finally died in the wasteland, with no bones left!

If you die, you will die, but you will die in a nest, and if you can become a hero, you will be laughed at by the world.

Seeing that Xie Qian was slow to speak, Zhu Youzhu asked, "What concerns does Mr. have?" I...... Before you die, you can ...... this one wish! ”

The emperor has said everything to this point, how can Xie Qian refute it? Could it be that he continued to prevent the emperor from recalling Shen Xi, and then Liu Daxia dragged his refusal to go to the northwest to lead the troops?

It is better to call Shen Xi back to the capital, and when the order is transmitted to the southeast, Shen Xi will pack up and settle the soldiers and horses to return to the capital, it will be four or five months later, and then find a way to delay the dispatch of troops, then the matter will be over.

Thinking of this, Xie Qian saluted: "The old minister has no opinion, then transfer Shen Xi back to the capital and use it for other purposes!" ”

Zhu Youji's face was full of relief, and he smiled: "Okay, okay." ”

……

……

If Shen Xi, who was exterminating the bandits on Nanao Island at this time, knew that he had not waited for the war in the southeast to be completely quelled, the imperial court would be ready to transfer him back to Beijing and cooperate with Liu Daxia to use troops in the northwest, he would definitely vomit three liters of blood.

Isn't that a cheat?

The bandits on my side have not yet subsided, and at the same time, they are preparing to train a group of elite soldiers by fighting, and as a result, they have just made some achievements, and they will recruit me to the bitter cold land in the northwest.

I have only been an official for four years, and I have served as a firefighter many times, and now I am sent to the southeast to perform my duties, and before I can really play, I will be asked to go back to Beijing and follow Liu Daxia to the northwest......

Tossing the dead is not worth their lives!

Xie Qian could have spoken for Shen Xi, but Emperor Hongzhi said that this was a "dying wish", what could Xie Qian say as a courtier? can only transfer Shen Xizheng back to Beijing first, and the rest of the things will be discussed in the long run.

Xie Qian's idea was very simple, even if Shen Xi had the ability, he would never go to the northwest to go to the troubled waters...... Want to make Xiao Lao'er's baby granddaughter a widow? There are no doors!

Even Emperor Lao Tzu didn't give face!

In this matter, Xie Qian made up his mind to help Shen Xi unconditionally!

After Emperor Hongzhi and Xie Qian agreed on the matter, Kuaima would set off from the capital in a short time, and the edict summoning Shen Xi to return to Beijing would send the starry night to Shen Xi, and then Shen Xi would have to step down from the commander of the southeast bandits, and the officialdom connections accumulated before would also be in vain.

At this time, Shen Xi was dazed and ignorant of the great changes in the DPRK and China, and was training on Nanao Island in battle, and for several days in a row, the officers and soldiers were tired and exhausted, but the effect was surprisingly good.

The battalion leaders who had lost their way the night before found their way back early the next morning, according to the direction of the sun, and there were no casualties because the bandits had no intention of fighting at night.

Shen Xi encouraged the officers and soldiers to face the battlefield head-on, and establish a collective view of honor and disgrace with hundreds of households as a unit, and did not see a single deserter in the past few days, nor did he report that the soldiers had slackened off and retreated from the battle, but under the encouragement of Shen Xi's monetary reward, the soldiers used Nanao Island as a military exercise ground as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

The bandits in the various stockades on the island watched the encirclement formed by the officers and soldiers outside getting smaller and smaller, and these officers and soldiers approached the stockade in an orderly manner, and did not launch a strong attack, but every sudden attack would bring great trouble to the stockade.

The officers and soldiers actually built fortifications outside the cottage of the bandits on the island, as if they were going to build a fortress and fight the bandits on the island to the end.

If there is only a problem with one or two cottages, other cottages can also provide assistance, although the bandits on the island on weekdays go their own way, but when faced with the encirclement and suppression of the official army, they prefer to unite together and unite with the outside world, but unfortunately Shen Xi does not give them the opportunity to join forces.

Shen Xi is responsible for an area of the island with each thousand households, setting up checkpoints and traps, completely blocking the roads connecting the various cottages on the island, and then setting up ambushes in some places with high mountains and dense forests.

Aren't the bandits on the island taking advantage of the head snake of the land? Shen Xi broke them down!

When talking about the sky, it is the dry season at this time, there is little rain, and the officers and soldiers will basically not get sick when they fight in other places; In terms of geographical advantages, the thieves can only hide in the stockade, and most of the places on the island are occupied by the official army, as small as a barren path, there will be hundreds of households responsible for detecting and controlling the ambush.

As for the people, that's not to mention!

Hearing that the officials and soldiers were killed, most of the bandits on the island withdrew, and those who remained were only some bandits who thought they could defend with a strong camp, and there were no people to act as eyes and ears, like fish without water, not far from death.

Nine days after landing on the island, no less than ten villages on the island have been breached, and the remaining dozen stockades found that they have fallen into a fishing net unconsciously, and their restraints are getting tighter and tighter, and life is becoming more and more difficult.

Outside the camp, the officers and soldiers launched a public opinion offensive every day, telling the people in the camp that "surrender is the last word", otherwise the camp would be burned down and men, women, and children would be killed cleanly.

How credible this is is another matter, but with the natural nature of the officers and soldiers, they can definitely do this kind of thing, because the officials and the army and the bandits are sometimes only a thin line away.
