According to the general routine, Wang Kefan should express a position at this time, such as "Weichen is willing to share his worries for Bixia, and he will definitely fight with the Tartars to the end, and he will not hesitate to wait for the horse leather shroud", take this task down first, and then talk about it, and the specific position will be decided by Emperor Longwu.

But Wang Kefan did not play according to the routine, and named him to be the commander of Cao Jiang.

"You get up first, this matter is very important, Rong Zhen will think about it again."

"Yes."

A short silence!

Emperor Longwu was frowning and considering, and Wang Kefan was waiting silently.

In the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the admiral was a permanent military general official position, belonging to the green battalion system, one level higher than the general army, roughly equivalent to the commander of the provincial military district, subject to the control of the governor and governor, and the power was not too great.

In the Ming Dynasty, the admiral was set up according to the matter, generally served by the nobles and civil ministers, controlled the civil and military affairs of one side, and could compete with the governor and governor, and the power was much greater than that of the Manchu governor.

For example, during the Wanli period of resisting Japan and aiding Korea, Li Rusong served as the commander of the Eastern Expedition, equivalent to the commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army.

(Everyone is also familiar with the Admiral of Dongchang, who also has great power, but it belongs to the patent of eunuchs.) ）

Cao Jiang, the full name of Admiral Cao Jiang, this position is generally filled by the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, in charge of the defense of the Yangtze River, the reason why Emperor Longwu hesitated was because this official was a bit big, and there was also a deviation from his original idea.

The combat effectiveness of the Gongyi battalion left a deep impression on him, and after understanding the basic situation of this army, Emperor Longwu had the intention of reorganizing the Gongyi battalion into his Imperial Forest Army, and Wang Kefan was the general of the Imperial Forest Army.

Wang Kefan is so young, and if he follows Emperor Longwu for a long time in the future, he will become his humerus confidant and will continue to be promoted and reused. Feng Gong Feng Hou is just around the corner, and he also happens to be rewarded for Wang Kefan's rescue efforts.

I didn't expect Wang Kefan to directly reach out to the official, and he didn't shy away from it.

Thunder and rain and dew, all of them are Jun'en, how can there be such a direct official!

If Wang Kefan was ten years older, Emperor Longwu would regard him as Zheng Zhilong's second, an arrogant and domineering general, and he was pampered and arrogant, and ambitious...... But when he raised his eyes to look at Wang Kefan's appearance, he saw that he was standing up straight in an orderly manner. The expression on his face was calm and frank, and he couldn't help but feel a heart of love again.

"Are young people so sharp now?" Emperor Longwu hesitated.

Political matters affect the whole body, as the emperor. It is necessary to consider all aspects of the problem, even if Wang Kefan is allowed to go out to lead the troops. But he was directly appointed as Admiral Cao Jiang. Is it appropriate?

First of all, Cao Jiang is generally the imperial history of the capital, and he is a four-rank civil official, but Wang Kefan is a military general, and it is not in line with the convention to serve as Cao Jiang.

Secondly, the battle is fought to this extent. The importance of the Yangtze River is self-evident, and Cao Jiang is in charge of the defense of the Yangtze River, and theoretically speaking, all along the Yangtze River are under the jurisdiction of Cao Jiang. Can Wang Kefan be qualified for such an important position?

Again, Caojiang military and political grasp is almost another feudal official, and the jurisdiction of He Tengjiao, Wan Yuanji, and Du Yinxi overlapped, which is equivalent to changing the current political pattern of the Southern Ming Dynasty, such an important adjustment, Emperor Longwu can not be cautious.

Zuihou has one of the most important issues, appointing Wang Kefan as Cao Jiang is equivalent to accepting his plan, and the entire Ming Dynasty's war strategy must be adjusted accordingly...... It sounds good to run the two Guangzhous, stick to Hunan and Jiangxi, and compete with the Manchus for the Yangtze River basin, but isn't it too hasty to set a national policy with just a short dialogue!

Wang Kefan waited silently.

Cao Jiang's official is indeed a bit big, but he is determined to win.

Wang Kefan needs to control the power of civilian officials, and needs to cross the stage on both sides of the Yangtze River, fighting a war is not only a military issue, but also an economic and political issue, and only by getting the official position of Cao Jiang can he justifiably allocate the resources he needs, and no longer be suppressed by He Tengjiao and his ilk.

Even if he is crowned a national prince, Wang Kefan is not rare.

Getting the position of Cao Jiang is his bottom line.

Except for the area of Jingzhou Mansion and Yuezhou Mansion, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are under the control of the Qing army, and all the territory has to be defeated by Wang Kefan himself.

If Emperor Longwu rests on his laurels, still only cooperates with the civilian clique, only relies on the Donglin Party and the Fushe, and does not dare to carry out drastic reforms to the existing political structure of the Southern Ming Dynasty, he will not be a suitable partner for cooperation, but just a dou who cannot be supported.

Wang Kefan was ready to do both, if Emperor Longwu refused his request, he could only learn from Zheng Zhilong, be a strong minister, and use force to hold Emperor Longwu hostage......

This is no way, the Nanming regime has rotted to the roots, if you don't carry out internal reforms as soon as possible, it will be a dead end, if Emperor Longwu does not have enough courage, even if the ministers are in power, it is stronger than the current plate of scattered sand.

However, this is also the worst outcome, it will cause serious contradictions within Nanming, and with Wang Kefan's current strength, it is not enough to suppress other shili, and it will even trigger a fierce civil war...... At the moment of the Manchu great enemy, there is a suspicion of death in doing so.

This is an exam for Emperor Longwu, and it is also very important to Wang Kefan.

Nanming has reached the point of life and death, Emperor Longwu is a desperate fleeing emperor, Wang Kefan is a small warlord, both of them are in a difficult situation, but each has its own resources, only by establishing a healthy cooperative relationship, can we turn the tide.

Together, it's a win-win situation!

Divide and hurt!

See how Emperor Longwu chosen.

Wang Kefan waited silently.

Emperor Longwu's heart was like electricity, and he thought about it a lot in just a while.

First of all, it is customary to use the four products to serve as the imperial historian, but this is not a big problem...... The country is in an extraordinary time, when the extraordinary law is implemented, although Wang Kefan is a military general, the next special decree can appoint him as Caojiang.

Secondly, although the position of Cao Jiang is very important, but the Yangtze River is basically occupied by the enemy, if Wang Kefan can recover the Yangtze River, it is still aggrieved to give him a commander Cao Jiang, what is there to be reluctant to give an empty official position?

Again, Cao Jiang is similar to the feudal officials, which will change the political pattern of the Southern Ming Dynasty, but this is an opportunity...... He Tengjiao is in Huguang Weifu for his own use, not following the orders of the imperial court, it is a problem that must be solved, and Wang Kefan is the commander of the river, which can weaken He Tengjiao's power!

Zuihou is a very important question, and Emperor Longwu has never been able to make up his mind...... Cao Jiang's appointment involved the entire war strategy, and Emperor Longwu was still a little unsure whether the plan proposed by Wang Kefan was feasible. (To be continued......)
