The first assistant Xia Yan and the second assistant Yan Song had a sharp argument. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The main point of contention is whether to fight or make peace with the Japanese at the moment.

Emperor Jiajing finally opened his eyes and opened the golden mouth: "Have you heard the story of Lanyuan?" ”

The courtiers are all people who have read poetry and books, how can they not know what Emperor Jiajing is referring to? At the beginning, Song Zhenzong signed the alliance with the Liao people, paid tribute to the Liao people every year, and called him a vassal every year. In the end, he was exchanged for a Liao soldier who went south to attack the Northern Song Dynasty every year. What kind of story did Emperor Jiajing mention at this time, it was obviously the main battle!

Yan Song and several officials of the Lord and the Lord, when they heard this, immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "The minister should die." ”

Xia Yan showed a somewhat smug look on his face.

Since Emperor Jiajing is the main battle, then the question is, who to send to fight?

Xia Yan said: "The minister thinks that the top priority is to find a commander who can strategize to control the guest troops in the provinces and crusade against the Japanese invaders!" “

All the ministers knew in their hearts that the so-called guest troops in the provinces were nothing more than a group of old and weak guards with no combat effectiveness! The real elite of the Ming Dynasty was the three battalions of the capital and the northern border army, the three battalions of the capital guarded Gyeonggi around Suncheonfu, and the northern border army had to guard against the invasion of Tatars. These elite divisions are far from quenching their thirst.

Who would dare to lead a group of weak brigades with no combat power to fight against the fierce pirates?

In the main hall of Yongshou Palace, there was silence again.

Xia Yan said: "Yan Cifu, you are also the secretary of the military department. As the saying goes, the name is right, and the word is good. It's perfect for you, the secretary of the military department, to lead the troops into the suppression of the Japanese invaders! “

Yan Song was stunned: "Xia Shoufu, he is old and old, and he really has the intention to kill the enemy and has no power to return to the sky." “

Xia Yan said again: "Jiang Guang, you are the squire of the military department. What about you leading the guest armies of the provinces to suppress the Japanese invaders? “

Jiang Guang shirked and said: "I am afraid that I will live up to the emperor's trust。。。。。。 “

A group of courtiers passed the buck to each other, and no one was willing to shoulder the great task of resisting the Japanese in the southeast.

Emperor Jiajing was on the throne and whispered five words. These five words were so small that only Lu Fang, who was standing aside, could hear them.

"Wenchen, you can kill them all!"

At this moment, a voice came out of Wenchen's class, "Chen Di, I am willing to go to Zhejiang to fight against the Japanese!" ”

Emperor Jiajing opened his eyes again: "Chen Di, are you willing to go to Zhejiang?" ”

Chen Di said: "Although the minister is not talented, he has fought with the Japanese invaders more than once, and he is confident that he can exterminate the Japanese who invaded Zhejiang!" ”

Emperor Jiajing said: "Oh? The 100,000 Japanese invaders who invaded Zhejiang, how many soldiers and horses do you plan to use with me to wipe out all these 100,000 Japanese invaders? “

Chen Di's answer was deafening: "The minister only needs the remnants of the Flying Tiger Army!" Plus a couple of people, a batch of firearms! “

Emperor Jiajing asked, "Which people?" “

Chen Di replied without thinking: "General Pinghai and Fujian General Yu Dayou; General Jinghai and Hubei Governor Tang Shunzhi; General Huhai and commander of Dengzhou Wei Qi Jiguang; Hu Zongxian, Shandong Grain Road; Imperial Inspectorate of the Imperial Palace; Jin Yiwei commanded Lu Bing! “

At the beginning, Emperor Jiajing transferred Yu Dayou, Tang Shunzhi, Qi Jiguang, Hu Zongxian, and Hai Rui out of Zhejiang, in order to disintegrate Chen Di's power in Zhejiang. At this time, Chen Di proposed to let Jinyiwei command Lu Bing to go to Zhejiang with him, just to reassure Emperor Jiajing. Besides, this battle against the Japanese will be a big battle, and the group of Ti Cavalry of Jinyiwei are the ancestors of modern spies, each with extraordinary skills, and they can help Chen Di a lot!

Xia Yan interjected: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty has a system, and the horse can't lead the troops!" Chen Di's suggestion is against the ancestral system! “

Chen Di glared at Xia Yan angrily: "Xia Shoufu, I take the liberty of asking, the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, including Xia Shoufu, who dares to go to Zhejiang to fight against the Japanese?" A bunch of cowardly and incompetent people! Bai eats the court's Yulu but doesn't know the truth of eating the king's Lu and dividing the king's worries! The people of Zhejiang are now being ravaged by the Japanese invaders, but you, the head of the cabinet, are still talking about the ancestral system? A province of the Ming Dynasty has fallen into the hands of foreigners, and a group of wine bags and rice bags are still spraying foaming stars on the main hall to smear each other! I'm so worried about you! ”

What Chen Di said was actually what Emperor Jiajing wanted to say in his heart but couldn't say.

Xia Yan didn't expect Chen Di to contradict himself with such rude words in front of Emperor Jiajing and hundreds of officials, and scolded a group of courtiers: "Chen Juma, you, how can you say that... It's really unseemly... There is a loss of decency. ”

Emperor Jiajing waved his sleeves angrily: "Although Chen Di's words are rude, they hit the nail on the head!" In this way, if any of you are willing to go to Zhejiang to fight against the Japanese in place of Chen Di, you can recommend yourself. “

The courtiers fell silent again.

Emperor Jiajing sighed: "Alas, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty can't catch up with Chen Di, a fifteen-year-old colt!" Intended! Chen Di is the governor of Zhejiang, and he has the title of secretary of the military department! The commander-in-chief of the Flying Tiger Army and the guest armies of Jiangsu, Nanzhili, Anhui and Fujian invaded the Japanese invaders! Pinghai General Yu Dayou, with the rank of squire of the military department; Jinghai General Tang Shunzhi, with the rank of squire of the military department; Qi Jiguang, the general of the sea protection, was given the rank of squire of the military department; Hu Zongxian, Shandong Grain Road, with the rank of squire of the Ministry of Soldiers; Yu Shi Hairui, the rank of squire of the military department; The above five people will join the Jinyi Guard to command Lu Bing, assist Chen Di, and enter the suppression of the Japanese Kou! “

Yan Song shouted: "My Emperor Shengming! “

The ministers followed Yan Song and shouted: "My emperor is sage." “

Xia Yan was scolded by Chen Di, although he was indignant in his heart, he could only shout at the Emperor Shengming.

Chen Di said again: "There is one more matter, please ask the emperor for permission." When he went to Zhejiang, he wanted to call on a batch of firearms from the Ministry of War. ”

Emperor Jiajing said: "Quasi-play!" All the firearms of the military department, you can call them at will! I will give you the Longquan Sword to hold on your behalf! The civil official is below the second grade, and the military attache is below the first grade, if there is a disobedience to the general's order, you can use this sword to cut it! All the families should step aside! Chen Di, you stay, I have something to say to you alone. ”

The ministers obeyed the order and withdrew. In the main hall of Yongshou Palace, only Emperor Jiajing, Chen Di, and Lu Fang remained.

Emperor Jiajing said to Lu Fang: "You also go down." ”

Lu Fang turned and left.

Emperor Jiajing asked Chen Di: "Are you sure that you can defeat the Japanese and recover the whole territory of Zhejiang?" ”

Chen Di replied, "Your Majesty." Not sure. The most difficult thing to talk about when it comes to leading troops to fight is to grasp it. ”

Emperor Jiajing nodded: "The guest troops of the provinces, do you say that you are counting on it?" ”

Chen Di said: "The guest troops in the provinces are afraid that they have no combat power, and they can't be counted on at all. ”

Emperor Jiajing agreed: "Yes, I have long seen that the guards in the provinces have now rotted to the bone marrow. The reason why you were asked to abolish the Zhejiang Guards Army was to set an example for the provinces and gradually dismantle the Guards Army in the provinces. So, the only thing you can rely on in Zhejiang is the 1,000 remnants of the Flying Tiger Army? Is it possible to win? “

Chen Di said: "There is a possibility of winning. Of course, one thousand against one hundred thousand, one percent of the grasp can win, and ninety percent of the grasp will lose! “

Emperor Jiajing asked, "What if you lose?" “

Chen Di said: "If the minister is defeated, please ask the emperor to transfer the three major battalions of the capital and the northern border army to attack the Japanese invaders." Just now, Xia Shoufu said rightly, the country of Wa is just a small state, and if I really gather the strength of a country to fight, I will definitely be able to win. But please rest assured that if the minister is defeated, he will not steal his life. This goes to Zhejiang, and the ministers will live and die with the Flying Tiger Army and the people of Zhejiang. “

Emperor Jiajing sighed: "The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the only one who can really share my worries is Chen Di!" “
