Chapter 528: Be Quiet

After the emperor of the Ming Dynasty knew that the territory of the Ming Dynasty was occupied, his reaction was the same, that is, to send troops to beat them out, and he never had the idea of discussing peace with Xu Xu Tuzhi.

In particular, when Emperor Jiajing heard that only a few thousand foreign devil soldiers had occupied a small Zhangzhou city, he almost immediately issued an order to send troops to recover Zhangzhou. However, when he issued the decree now, he was accompanied by Lu Bing and Father-in-law Rui.

The small study has begun to become the center of this empire, and when the emperor was about to give an order, Lu Bing desperately glanced at Jiajing on the side, signaling Jiajing not to act rashly, there were already officials from six departments on duty here in the study, and he saw Lu Bing's expression. Although Emperor Jiajing was unhappy in his heart, he still waved his hand to repel the idle people in the house, leaving Lu Bing and Rui Xiaosan.

After all, when he was just back in power and wanted to make a will, Lu Bing always gave him such and such opinions, Jiajing was really not happy, and seeing that irrelevant people were respectfully retreating, Emperor Jiajing said with some irritation:

"Qing family, is there anything mysterious in the small city of Zhangzhou, I have not been in power for a few years, and I have been bullied by such a small barbarian country, I really have no words to go to Taimiao to see the ancestors and ancestors."

Although Lu Bing has such and such opinions in the past few days, which makes Emperor Jiajing feel that he can't stretch his fists and feet, but the things that Lu Bing proposed have his basis and are very reasonable, so although Jiajing's words are complaining, there are no too fierce words.

Lu Bing bowed slightly, he is such a powerful Xuanhe, and he is a veteran of officialdom who has had several ups and downs in the political arena, so he naturally knows what the consequences will be if he repeatedly fights with the emperor, but Lu Bing knows that after this mutiny, his position in the court is actually that of the cabinet scholar of the year, and such a high position has the same high responsibility.

The governors and generals in various places seem to have expressed their attitude to support the Jingshi Emperor, but in fact, what they want is very suspicious, after all, most of these people are the forces that the East Party has installed and supported, and the current Jingshi East Party is those high-ranking officials of the imperial court, who have almost been swept away, and the imperial court said that it would not implicate foreign officials, and at the same time it was purged and liquidated in the Beijing Division, and the people below could not be wary.

So at this time, the imperial court can be said to be thrilling step by step, and it is necessary to deal with it carefully, one wrong step may lead to a complete loss, but Emperor Jiajing's scheming in the land prosecution case and this mutiny is deep and tortuous, but it is much more impatient than before, and there is less calmness in doing things, the more this is the case, the easier it is to make mistakes.

The center of the imperial court deals with national affairs, if something goes wrong, I don't know how big a storm it will be, and the power of the imperial court has not been back in the hands of the emperor for a long time, and the authority of Emperor Jiajing will be slowly established and restored, and there is really no room for error, Lu Bing understands that if the emperor loses power again this time, his fate will not be as simple as being imprisoned, and it is possible to destroy the nine clans and break his bones.

This is also when Lu Bing sees that every time the emperor hears his opinions, even if his face changes color, he still has to continue to do such a move. Although he knows that everyone wants to listen to the good words of perfection and perfection, he also has to state the dangers of all kinds of things in the world.

Regarding the military affairs in Zhangzhou, hearing Emperor Jiajing's question, Lu Bing first looked around, and saw that those eunuchs and low-level civil officials had all retreated, and then he said:

"Your Majesty, Fujian's use of troops only needs to be reported to the Nanjing Military Department, and the Nanjing Town Guards and Garrisons plus the Military Department are still in charge, so you can come up with your own ideas, why should the governor of Fujian report directly to Your Majesty?"

Although the ruling system of the Ming Dynasty is said to be centered on the Beijing division and radiates the whole country, because of the information transmission and other reasons of this era, a complete administrative team was also retained in Nanjing, which was not a reserve and a second line, but was really responsible for the rule of the southern provinces.

According to the rules, the transfer of soldiers in the southern provinces, the eunuchs in Nanjing, the noble garrison in Nanjing (the Xu family of Wei Guogong), and the Shangshu of the Nanjing Military Department, these three parties can directly complete the procedures of transferring troops without going through the Beijing Division, and only need to report to the Beijing Division after the transfer of troops and horses.

For such a major event as the capture of Zhangzhou City by foreigners, Nanjing City should be the first time to send reinforcements and recapture the city, rather than asking the emperor how to do it.

"Your Majesty, the prefecture and county under the jurisdiction of the governor of Fujian have fallen, and 6,000 soldiers have been killed by those foreign devils, what should be done if the officialdom is an example?"

"It should be a fold to ask for guilt, and then gather as many troops and horses as possible to regain the lost ......territory while the disposal has not yet come down."

"Your Majesty, since Your Majesty regained power, although the rebellious ministers of the Beijing Division have all been disposed of, but the local important ministers and governors have not touched it in order to calm the hearts of the people, and this Fujian governor must know that Long Live is not like letting the local turmoil, and will not deal with him, but will issue an order to appease, so he is so bold to fold."

"Bang dang" loud sound, Emperor Jiajing suddenly smashed the inkstone on the table to the ground, the guards guarding outside thought something was happening, and suddenly more than a dozen people poured in, and Grandpa Rui hurriedly waved his hand to send these people out, and when those people went out, Grandpa Rui personally went over to clean up the fragments of those inkstones, he knew that Emperor Jiajing's current situation was definitely not willing to let outsiders see.

Jiajing is also a smart person, Lu Bing's words are here, he also understands, what the governor of Fujian does is like a coercion, more than a dozen provinces in the north and south, most of them are the governors of the East Party, and the cabinet ministers in the court exchange voices, this time the East Party in the court was swept away, and the people below are also uneasy, the governor of Fujian has lost his jurisdiction, and the army has been defeated, this is already a big crime, he does not ask for a guilty fold, but asks the center to deal with foreign enemies, presumably if the court cuts his official position, He could have said that he was a foreign minister of the imperial court who dealt with the implicated Dongdang, and the governors of other provinces would definitely follow suit and make trouble, and the center would not treat him if he had this scruple.

If it was put ten years ago, how could any local officials dare to confront the Beijing division like this, but in the past ten years, after the two groups of people from the Beijing business group and the civil officials, the authority of the imperial court has declined more and more.

In recent years, the local governors, especially those in the coastal provinces, have become more and more independent in the financial resources and manpower that they can control.

Emperor Jiajing dropped the inkstone, but quieted down, sat on the chair behind the bookcase, gritted his teeth and sneered:

"Good courtier, good courtier, I don't ask for guilt, but I have an excerpt to ask the court to make an idea, do you really think that my hands and feet can't reach out of the capital? Lu Bing, you go to Xuan Zhoulin and arrange for Deng Hua to go to Fujian to supervise the war! ”

The current emperor is talking more and more unsparingly, Lu Bing smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that the emperor you talk like this, I just can't think of offending people, but the words must be said clearly, otherwise there will be very bad consequences, seeing that Grandpa Rui was about to go out to arrange for the little eunuch to summon him, he hurriedly stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, don't panic about sending troops, this fold says that 6,000 soldiers were killed by the other party under the city of Zhangzhou and returned from defeat, which shows that the combat effectiveness of the Francophone army is not weak, Deng Hua is a general in Shaanxi, and he is afraid that he is not familiar with life when he goes to Fujian, if he is a general soldier, the people below may not listen to his orders, if it is secretly contained, then I am afraid that there will be the opposite effect, the fall of Zhangzhou City is not a big deal, and it will be taken back, but the local people are all looking at the emperor's decision at this time, if the one sent will fail, The prestige that the imperial court had built up with great difficulty had disappeared again. ”

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, then let Deng Hua take the northern and western soldiers south, and I will send guest soldiers to make an appearance for them."

Here, Lu Bing's body bent lower, but the words were still refuting, and he said loudly:

"Your Majesty, when the soldiers are mobilized for thousands of miles, they must be transferred by the treasury to two taels of silver, and where is there any silver in the treasury at this time, and the silver in the inner treasury must be in case of urgent need. Besides, are there any soldiers who can be transferred out to fight now, either to guard against the steppes and the Mongol Tatars in the west, or to be dilapidated and unwarned, how to take them. ”

When these words came out, Emperor Jiajing's anger was already gone, only the depression remained, and a feeling of exhaustion arose, habitually opened the brocade box on the bookcase, took out a pill of pills and swallowed it, Lu Bing noticed that these days, the emperor has become more and more dependent on this pill, and after a while, Emperor Jiajing said stiffly:

"Lu Qingjia, then what do you say should be done?"

"Your Majesty, this battle is not only to regain lost territory, but also to show the majesty of the Son of Heaven in front of the officials and people of the world, can only win, and to win beautifully, since those ghosts only occupy a place in Zhangzhou, there have been no follow-up soldiers and horses in the past few months, then we don't need to worry, the seaside land is fur, just calm down, train a strong army, and then fight again."

"But this Fujian excerpt?"

"Your Majesty, there is only one helpless way at this time, if you don't need to rush along the way, it will take dozens of days, just a flip-flop!"

Yang Shishi of Zhangzhou City naturally didn't know that Daming Jingshi had made such a decision, he went to the watchtower every day to look into the distance, and said to himself depressedly:

"Why hasn't this Ming army come yet, didn't you say that they would come every day and fight every day?"
