Chapter 321: Fighting
As soon as the British public Zhang Rong spoke, all eyes turned to him, including Zhu Yijun. Among the five bigwigs in the Military Aircraft Department, the status of the British public Zhang Rong is definitely the highest.
First, the status of the British government is there, and second, there are successors to the British government.
Although the people of the British government are not prosperous, the eldest son has no queen, and the second son is sick, but the third generation of the British government has produced a ruthless person, that is, Zhang Weixian, who has basically booked the existence of the first person in the military in the future.
Not only is he capable, but he also has a deep trust from the emperor, once the old man retreats, then Zhang Weixian will inevitably be reused.
"The minister thinks that the Northern Expedition is a grand strategy, and the imperial court has been preparing for this for several years, is it just for a Duoyan to start a war? The minister thought it was inappropriate, and the court was not ready now. ”
"It's okay to fight, not now, and it's not just a face."
As soon as the words of the British public Zhang Rong came out, the hall was instantly quiet.
All eyes were focused on several other military ministers, the most important of which was Qi Jiguang. Although the two princes have high status, everyone knows that the first person in the current Ming military is Qi Jiguang.
Although Qi Jiguang has been old in the past two years and doesn't care much about things, his status is there.
It is a living legend of the Ming military, which is very important. Who is the emperor's most trusted general, it must be Qi Jiguang, which is very important.
The other two ministers of military aircraft, one is Zeng Xingwu, a cabinet scholar, and the other is Liang Menglong, a secretary of the Ministry of Industry.
These two people are not simple, not only know the soldiers, but also are the emperor's trusted ministers, and many times they speak better. As for Li Biao, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he basically does not participate in this kind of thing.
"I think I should fight!"
What no one expected was actually Liang Menglong, the secretary of the Ministry of Works.
It is not the key for Liang Menglong to speak first, the key is that he supported Xu Wenbi, which is unexpected. Xu Wenbi didn't expect it himself, and looked at Liang Menglong in some surprise, wanting to hear what he had to say.
"The Northern Expedition is a big war, and it's really not worth it to do it for the sake of Duoyan."
"But the minister thought that because the Northern Expedition was a big war, it should be fought. I haven't fought a big battle in the Ming border for many years, and if a big war suddenly breaks out, it will be a huge test for both the non-commissioned officers and generals and the local transfer officials. ”
"The minister thinks that before the big war, it is okay to fight the Duoyan Department first."
"First, you can train the army, and second, you can show the determination of the imperial court, so the minister agrees with the words of Dingguo Gong, and the minister thinks that this battle should be fought, but the minister thinks that he can't just fight the Duoyan Department."
"Duoyan Sanwei, all of them fought, soldiers out of Jizhou, Jinzhou and Shenyang, the three roads marched together, directly took Duoyan Sanwei, and decided on the three guards in a battle. If you go in, you can take Chahar, and if you go north, you can take Horqin. ”
Liang Menglong said it more boldly, but it also had its own reasons.
"Once the imperial court sends troops to attack the Duoyan Division, it is difficult to guarantee that the other two divisions will not send troops, since this is the case, they simply start fighting from the Duoyan Sanwei. If Chahar and Korqin also send troops, then directly fight a general battle. ”
Everyone looked at Liang Menglong with some shock, no one expected that this Ministry of Industry Shangshu would play such a big game.
"The minister thinks that Liang Shangshu's words are polite!"
As soon as Liang Menglong's words fell, Zeng Xingwu, who was sitting on top of Liang Menglong, also spoke, and his attitude was obvious, that is, he should fight.
"All the ministers should know that Chahar's Buyan Chechen is dying of old age and dying, and the ministers think that the time is right to take advantage of this time to fight. Everyone should also know what Buyan Chechen did years ago. ”
As soon as Zeng Xingwu's words came out, the faces of the people present changed.
Buyan Chechen did do something a few years ago, in order to consolidate his position, Buyan Chechen took out a thing to prove his orthodox status, and this thing is the jade seal of the country.
Historically, this heirloom jade seal fell into the hands of Huang Taiji.
There is no conclusion whether it is true or not, but the Ming Dynasty did not pass on the jade seal, which is true. Legend has it that he was also brought to the grassland by Meng Yuan, so the authenticity of this heirloom jade seal is not so important.
Once Da Ming defeated Buyan Chechen and got this heirloom jade seal, then he was real.
Liang Menglong's meaning is very simple, taking advantage of the fact that the old guy Buyan Chechen is going to die, he stepped on him directly, and took advantage of his illness to kill him. It would be better if he went to war and get back the jade seal.
Do you want this heirloom jade seal Zhu Yijun? Of course I do!
There is no doubt about it, whether he is true or false, and even if it is false, he is true. Once he gets this heirloom jade seal, his prestige as the emperor will inevitably increase greatly.
At that time, it will really dominate the whole country, far surpassing Taizong and Taizu.
Of the five ministers of military aircraft, all four of them expressed their positions, and only the last one remained, that is, Qi Jiguang, the Marquis of Dingbei. All eyes were on him, wanting to see what he had to say.
"I think!" Qi Jiguang said slowly: "Fight!" ”
"The minister agrees with Liang Shangshu's words, before the war, it is true that the troops should be trained in a small battle, and the battle of Duoyan is too small, and the minister thinks that he should fight Duoyan Sanwei and go down in a battle."
"Your Majesty, please let your majesty let your ministers go to Liaodong to supervise this battle!"
Zhu Yijun's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and he knew that he couldn't hold it down this time. is pressing, then it is frustrating. After being silent for a moment, Zhu Yijun nodded: "Since all of you Aiqing think so, then fight!" ”
"Dispatch troops in three ways, sweep away the three guards of Duoyan, and draft the purpose!"
Zhu Yijun said loudly: "Wu Dui, the governor of Jiliao, is the governor of the Southern Army, Zhang Xueyan is the commander of the Southern Army, and the commander of the four towns of Jizhou, Changping, Baoding and Xuanfu is the Southern Route Army. ”
"The Southern Route Army went out from the mouth of Daning Xifeng and directly attacked the Duoyan Division."
"Xu Wenbi, the Duke of Dingguo, was crowned as the commander of the Chinese army, and the commander of the Liaodong Army attacked from Jinzhou and directly attacked the Taining Department."
"Crowned the Northern Marquis Qi Jiguang as the commander of the Northern Army, went out of the 100,000 troops in the right camp of the Beijing camp, went out of Shenyang, and attacked the Fuyu Division. Dingbei Hou, this battle is the most difficult for your department, and you should strictly guard against the northern Horqin department. ”
"After this battle, there will be no more faceless three in the world, I will give you this opportunity, don't let me down!"
Everyone hurriedly stood up and knelt directly in the center of the hall: "The ministers obey the order and destroy Duoyan in one battle!" ”
Zhu Yijun nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head to Zeng Xingwu and Liang Menglong and said, "Two Aiqing, grain and grass transfer, military deployment and other matters, I will leave it to you." ”
"The Cabinet, the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces and the Six Ministries will fully cooperate, and if there is any slackness, they will be severely punished."
"Command!" The two of them hurriedly bowed down and said, not daring to slack off at all.
The meeting ended quickly, and the next day the Beijing camp began to move, and Qi Jiguang began to mobilize people and horses to go to Liaodong. The officials who passed the decree to Jiliao also left the capital and quickly rushed to Jiliao.
