Chapter 3 The Dispute over North Korea

"Anyway, Yao Qing is in charge of Great Xia's finances, and I'm still satisfied." Zhang Xuan said lightly: "It's just that I want to establish a foundation for my children and grandchildren, and some things must not be neglected, this year's budget and final accounts are according to Yao Qing, but if it is still like this next year, it will -----."

"The minister should abdicate and let go." Yao Qisheng said immediately.

"Yao Qing doesn't have to be like this." Zhang Xuan smiled faintly and said, "What's the matter, as long as Yao Qing does his best, I can still treat Yao Qing badly." ”

Yao Qisheng listened to Zhang Xuan's words, and was convinced on the surface. But I don't know what's wrong, but there is a chill in my heart.

After being the emperor for a long time, Zhang Xuan had to hide his thoughts, and even deliberately showed some opposite attitudes, just to show that the heart of heaven is unpredictable.

Because Zhang Xuan found that the people who really sat in the cabinet, the Privy Council, and the top few chairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were not fuel-efficient lamps, and they seemed to be doing things for Zhang Xuan wholeheartedly, and the small actions in private were never less.

It seems that the water is calm, but the dark tide is surging below, but who knows?

The contradiction between Yao Qisheng and Zhang Qian, Zhang Xuan couldn't see clearly, whether it was really because the interests of the department had risen to a partisan dispute, or whether there was some tacit understanding between Yao Qisheng and Zhang Zhen.

The human heart is the most difficult to fathom.

Zhang Xuan himself is not a master of figuring out people's hearts.

It's impossible to figure out what the people below think. He slowly chose a trick, that is, except for the things he was particularly concerned about, he did not speak. Don't take a stand, in addition to firmly grasping the decision-making power, show the unfathomable.

The reason why this is the case is that his previous attitude was too obvious, which made many lucky people come to the stage.

For example, Zhang Xuan once clearly stated the attitude of the Northern Expedition.

As a result, the news of the great victory in Qingzhou City came, and for a time there was a trend in Nanjing, and some officials who said that it was not small wrote to advocate the Northern Expedition. These officials, said to be minor officials, are all Beijing officials, and they are the backbone of the Great Xia court.

After all, even if there are famous generals and ministers, things always have to be done by the people below. If the official position is too small, he may not even be able to get to Zhang Xuan here. The official position is too small, and the book is also handled by the cabinet, and Zhang Xuan saw that it was only an abridgement.

If it weren't for Zhang Xuan's understanding of the current situation. Knowing that it was not the Northern Expedition season, they all thought that there were many enemies below who were not in the same position as the Qing court.

As a result, gradually Zhang Xuan also became a trace of his mind without leaking out.

Zhang Xuan beat Yao Qisheng, and asked people to send him back with a smile.

When the others left, Zhang Xuan rubbed his eyebrows, leaned on the back of the Taishi chair, and said, "Who else is behind?" ”

Li Fuguo said: "Your Majesty, King Wei came just now

。 ”

"Oh." Zhang Xuan straightened up and said, "Let him in." ”

Yuan Shizhong naturally doesn't need to mention how to salute when he comes in. After a few words of greeting, Zhang Xuan asked directly: "Have you checked it out?" ”

Since the wind and waves in Nanjing City have affected North Korea, it can be seen that the momentum is huge. But this incident was not Zhang Xuan's original intention. Changing generals in battle is a taboo for soldiers, how can Zhang Xuan not know. It's just that this storm came too quickly and too quickly, in order to stabilize Zheng Chenggong's heart, but also to stabilize the hearts of all forces in the army.

Therefore, Zheng Chenggong must go back to Beijing.

After all, the battle of his Blue Hoof Pavilion was indeed not beautiful.

Just before that, he must find out whose hands and feet this is.

Yuan Shizhong said: "It's clear. It's Xu Du. ”

Zhang Xuan couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

He thought about it for a moment and understood why Xu Du was like this.

When Xu Du was under Zhang Xuan, he was able to compete with Cao Zongyu in terms of status. But now, there is no way to compare with Cao Zongyu. Cao Zongyu sat on the side as a party leader. Whether it is in terms of title or power, Cao Zongyu is a head behind.

Xu Du's unwillingness, Zhang Xuan actually knew it, and did a lot of appeasement. It's just that now I find that Xu Du still can't let go.

This is not Zhang Xuan's intention to suppress Xu Du, but when Xu Du divided his troops into Jinhua, he should have thought that there is a distinction between priority and priority on the battlefield. No matter how well Xu fought in Jinhua, he couldn't compare to the battle of Anqing.

Zhang Xuan naturally wanted to seal the heroes of the Battle of Anqing.

However, I think about it.

can create such a momentum, it must be a heavy general in the army, Cao Zongyu is Zhang Xuan's sworn friend, Cao Zongyu has any ideas, he will definitely not cross Zhang Xuan, and act without authorization, and if Yuan Shizhong has ambitions, he will not return to Beijing to serve as the nominal first person in the military, in fact, he is a big housekeeper. and lost the military power, as for Li Dingguo, he couldn't handle the war in Sichuan.

And Gao Yigong and Yuan Zong's first two people, after all, are not Zhang Xuan's descendants, first, they may not be able to set off such a momentum, and second, they don't have that confidence.

Come to think of it, it's Xu Du.

Xu Du, as Zhang Xuan's descendant general, has a wide network in the army, after all, the main body of the Great Xia army is still based on Zhang Xuan's 50,000 or 60,000 troops in the southern expedition that year, plus the expansion of other departments. Therefore, Xu has the ability to make trouble, and he also has the confidence that Zhang Xuan will not deal with him because of trivial matters.

Xu Du is confident that he can still fight.

Zhang Xuan secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, it was true.

In any case, Xu Ducai, together with the generals of the Jinhua family behind him, also accounted for a considerable part of Zhang Xuan's lineage. This matter, although Zhang Xuan was displeased, was not a big deal after all. This is also Xu Du's style

。 He's always been so rebellious.

"Your Majesty." Yuan Shizhong whispered: "Do you want the minister to warn General Xu." ”

"Nope." Zhang Xuan shook his head and said, "Let's wait for Zheng Chenggong to come back." ”

In any case, Zheng Chenggong's defeat at the front line is the cause and effect of all this. If Zheng Chenggong is on the front line, sweeping thousands of troops will be like a sweep. Nor will there be anything from the rear that is the case today. To be honest, although Zhang Xuan trusts Zheng Chenggong's ability, but now, Zheng Chenggong is not irreplaceable.

After all, Zheng Chenggong is not his descendant after all.

Zheng Chenggong came over this time, if he couldn't give him an explanation.

Then the change of generals in the Korean war situation may not be impossible.

Yuan Shizhong couldn't figure out Zhang Xuan's thoughts for a while, so he could only agree. Zhang Xuan then talked to Yuan Shizhong about some other things, such as the training of the army in various places, the training of Wutang officers, and then the low-level officers of Wutang suffered heavy casualties in North Korea. But the brutal battlefield has also produced a group of qualified officers.

Zhang Xuan has already recalled all these officers. Sent to the lecture hall as an instructor. Strengthen the construction of lecture halls. Of course, the Korean war was not all good for the development of the martial arts. A large number of lecture halls were used to fill the shortage of officers on the North Korean side. As a result, a large number of officers in the lecture hall could not be filled into the armies according to the original plan.

This caused a little trouble for Zhang Xuan to reorganize the various armies.

For Zhang Xuan, there are other troubles.

It's conscription.

Although Zhang Xuan established a military service system, this military service system has not really been operated, and in order to fill North Korea with new soldiers, it is the first time, and half of the recruits sent to North Korea this time have been recruited and trained by county lieutenants and integrated by the Privy Council. The rest is general, still the old way, to recruit northern refugees along the Yangtze River.

There have been wars in the north for many years, and a large number of northerners have been stranded south of the Yangtze River, Zhang Xuan has thought of many ways to resettle them, such as asking the county order to find a way to let them open up wasteland, such as letting them enter the workshop. But the most are still in the army.

After all, among the upper echelons of the Xia army, the proportion of southerners is still small, although the proportion of southerners below is quite high. But a considerable number of these generals above felt that the southerners were not as good as the northerners. Therefore, they favored the northern soldiers.

After asking these things one by one, Yuan Shizhong was sent away, Zhang Xuan was silent for a while, and said to Li Fuguo: "Let Zheng Chenggong know about what happened just now." ”

Li Fuguo said willingly: "The slave and maid understand, and the slave and maid will do it." “

Li Fuguo also has a small intelligence agency in his hands, of course, it is only limited to the Beijing Division. Although the ability is not very good, it is still possible to control the various forces in Nanjing. Naturally, he knew how to spread these things to Zheng Chenggong's ears.

Therefore, when Zheng Chenggong just arrived in Nanjing, he should know it.
