"Chenyue, please resign from the Ministry of Officials." Three days later, in the Yanying Palace, Gao Yue made such a request to the impatient emperor with a wat board in his hand.

He has a very good reason, the minister was originally a servant of the Ministry of Officials, and the two armies of Yining and Dingwu went to Longzhou to fight, which is already a violation of the law.

The emperor was very happy, and said that the great victory of Huating and the great victory of Taoguan had not yet had time to reward you and Wei Gao: I will immediately give you the third year of high school to move you to the imperial history doctor of the school and judge the affairs of Xingyuan and Fengxiang (the envoy is the envoy of the northwest camp, the envoy of Jingyuan water transport, the envoy of coinage, the envoy of Fengxiang Longyou Xingyuan Festival, the judge of the Marshal Mansion of Longyou, and the pioneer of the Longyou camp to curb the soldiers and horses), and the rank of the official is the doctor of the four products, and the edict is authorized to "participate in political affairs".

The last one is very important, many local festival envoys, such as Li Baozhen, Wang Wujun, Zhang Xiaozhong, etc., have a title of "Tongping Zhangshi", but it is just a title, and Gao Yue's "Governor Political Affairs" means that he is out of the town, and if the emperor has any important decisions, he will also be summoned to discuss, which is actually equivalent to Li Mi, Jia Tan, etc.

Then, the emperor asked Gao Yue, when will the war to exterminate the Dangqiang begin?

I'd like to hear what you think.

Gao Yue replied loudly: "The Jingyuan Xingying has just been subordinated to the Jingxi Shence Army Battalion, and now the Shence Right Battalion has a military strength of as many as 70,000. ”

The emperor nodded and said that this is exactly the case, among which there are 30,000 Shence generals and 40,000 archers (Shence army originally had Purun, Linyou, Haoqi and other Tuntian horse workshops in Fengxiang, and now they are all transferred to Gao Yue, the Fengxiang Yin management), the left army is in Jingyuan, the right army is in Yanzhou, and Tan Zhizhong is still in Fengtian City as a supervisor.

The military strength of this large battalion in western Beijing increased by 20,000 at once, but because of the new military system of "generals forming camps and shooting soldiers scattered" planned by Gao Yue, Lu Zhen, and Li Mi in advance, it did not cause a burden on the finances.

Gao Yue immediately proposed that His Majesty could set up a large camp for Shencezuo.

The emperor asked, where did the troops come from?

Gao Yue said that Chen Xujiedu made Quhuan, in the past two or three years to guard Xuchang and other places, recruit exiles, the camp has been successful, and the army recovery is very fast, so he can first use it as the backbone, and then merge the Shang Kegu of the gold merchant and the Yanzi Chu of Shaanxi to get 30,000 soldiers, which is the left battalion of Shence.

Now for the emperor, as long as he can expand the Shence army without increasing the financial burden, it is definitely a happy thing to achieve - because the Shence army is the emperor's royal forest field army after all, and other towns are not as close as this team.

"Okay, I am now uniformly awarded the military title, and the right battalion of Shence will set up three armies, Liu Haibin's Jingyuan camp will be the 'Shence Weirong Army', Xing Junya's original right army will be the 'Shence Xuanwei Army', and Gao Chongwen's original left army will be the 'Shence Decisive Army';

Gao Yue thought to himself, Li Shi, you can't fight, you are blind, you name the army, and you have a set of beautiful court uniforms for civil and military bureaucrats, is it wrong to be interested?

Then Gao Yue said, in the coming year, please build the "Holy Spirit Wenwu Imperial Driving Camp", and then Longyou (my Fengxiang and Xingyuan) soldiers and horses are the "Right Army of the Camp" (the direction of the ancient map is reversed), Weibei, Suining, and Hezhong are controlled by Hun Yang as the "Camp in the Army", Shuofang, Xia Suiyin, Zhenwu, Hedong, and Zelu (Zhaoyi) are the "Front Army of the Camp" and are controlled by Li Baozhen, Shannan Dongdao, Jingnan, and Eyue are the "Left Army of the Camp" controlled by Cao Wanggao, and Xichuan, Dongchuan, and Banan are the "Camp Rear Army" controlled by Wei Gao, and all the left and right camps of Shence are unified into"The Divine Command Army in front of the palace", the forbidden army of the palace is the "Divine Mighty Army behind the Palace", all the lines of the camp are to rush, set up a festival to appease the commander, and then protect the emperor, jointly attack, and personally conquer the party.

Hearing this, the emperor was about to fly.

"Good, now strike the autumn, quiet Huaixi, Heshuo, Ziqing, guard the tax rice and salt profits transported by Cao, plus the northwest, Lingwu Yingtian, the imperial court left and right Tibet, the household department, and the Yanzi treasury have accumulated no less than five million guan, if you wait for the two taxes and grain this year, you can get 10 million guan. Immediately the entire military, I will add you as the battalion commander Shi, and work together with Tan Zhizhong (the emperor finally understands the principle of decentralization and prestige this time). ”

Gao Yue then proposed to draw and said: The minister asked to stop "eating three times the grain out of bounds" (as mentioned before, after the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty Fangzhen were ordered by the imperial court to go on the expedition, they would enjoy three times the usual rations and wine and meat), and now the towns in the northwest, the generals have increased their troops, and the archers have land, this policy has long been unfavorable to the war, many Fangzhen sent troops before, only one or two miles away from the boundary and camped and patrolled, only to ask for food out of bounds, play with Kou Xuan, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. In this way, tens of millions of dollars are enough to support 100,000 troops to go out to fight for a year.

"In one year, can you completely step on the party?" The emperor was very concerned about this time issue, and did not want to fight to the end and make a scene like the Heshuo rebellion in the past.

Gao Yue smiled and said to the emperor:

The establishment of the camp is not necessarily to set up the left and right armies to go out together, but to let all the towns, including those unruly Fang towns in the Kanto region, know that they should respect our court and respect the Holy Lord, and that the army of this world should be in the hands of Your Majesty, and obey your moderation, which is justified.

At this time, the emperor suddenly stroked his palm, and even said, "In this way, setting up a camp and leveling the party is not enough to make me happy, so the festivals make all sides know and respect the court, and fear the majesty of our court, and I am happy." ”

"Yes, yes."

Then Gao Yue offered a specific plan - for the party, to first split and instigate them, let them kill each other, and then His Majesty first set up a camp, with the minister as the long history, the ambassador of Tibet, the minister only used Yining, Dingwu and Suining army, first for His Majesty to collect the Dongshan Party Qiang in Gyeongzhou, and then destroy the party items of the six provinces in Weibei, and then by His Majesty to direct the battalion of the army and force, north into Baiyu Mountain, completely set foot on the Pingxia Party, so calculated, in the end, His Majesty drove the expedition in person, about three months to be able to succeed (that is, the last armed parade to show the manifestation), Why 10 million dollars?

Not only did he not need so much money, but the minister promised that after the end of the war, he could collect 300,000 yuan for the imperial court, and the cost of the war would be recovered in less than three years.

"Good, good!" The emperor's eyebrows fluttered, and he pointed to Gao Yue and said, in the third year of high school this year, you will be at ease in the northwest camp field, smooth water transportation, and next year I will do what I say, and I will entrust you with carte blanche to level the party's affairs.

"After the party is settled, I will officially promote you to govern!"

Gao Yue was not in a hurry, and said thank you, Your Majesty, but the minister still has something to play right.

"What's the matter, tell me quickly."

"Now that the spring has not yet opened, please ask Your Majesty to merge the Jinshi Branch and the Ming Jing Branch into one, and then urgently open the system."

"Why is that?"

"The world is crowded, what is lacking is not the Fu Yin and the history of the assassins, but the county orders that are really responsible for people, especially in the northwest." Gao Yue said.
