Chapter 418: Governor of Sichuan
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, then let's just watch the Ming army in Henan and Xuanhua Town not move? However, there are still 8,000 Ming troops under the command of the governor of Baoding, and they are always threatening to prepare to recover Yizhou, according to the dark line report we ambushed in Beijing, the Son of Heaven is very angry about this, and three edicts require the main force of the Beijing camp to immediately go south to pacify Yizhou, because we are stuck here, it directly cuts off the main artery of the south to the Beijing division, and the Son of Heaven issued an edict to let Jiangnan expand the regimental training, and appointed seven local regimental training generals and three volunteer commanders in one breath, these ten soldiers and horses, or five thousand, or three thousand, are all local heroes, If it is strengthened to Henan in the north, this will be another big threat.

Wei Xiaobao held the dark line in the Ming Court, and accepted the secret reports they kept sending back, and he was also a little anxious in his heart, so he came up to admonish.
This is the difference between the Ming court, which only controls the northwest and the Ming court, which controls the whole world, Li Jing killed all the landlords and big businessmen in the northwest who refused to cooperate with the hands of the rogues, and it took all his strength to grit his teeth and insist on building an army of 300,000 people, in fact, this army can fight less than 150,000, that is, a quarter of the local tuntian battalions and field armies, not soldiers,
It is not to say that the Tuntian battalion will not be able to defeat the Ming army, but the casualty compensation set by the Qin army is too high, and the Tuntian battalion and the second-line soldiers will go up to fight, with the support for the policies of the Qin army, they will definitely die hard, but who knows the casualties.
"Indeed, let's not look at the current strong soldiers, but as the saying goes, the three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the money and grain needed to support the 100,000 army to fight is not a small amount, but the Ming court can now expand the armament almost unlimitedly, and the large-scale construction of our northwest has constrained a lot of money and grain, if we don't find a place that can be replenished in time, I'm afraid it will not be able to continue large-scale operations." It's not that Li Denggao doesn't want to use Li Jing's inner treasury, but all that money is set to be used, and if all of it is misappropriated to the army, won't it become a reckless force?
"Incoming?" Li Jing clenched his fists, looked at the generals and ministers in the hall, and didn't say much.
"King Qin, just talking about the input, the Fifth Army on the Sichuan side has captured a large amount of grain, gold and silver, if this part of the money and grain can be quickly replenished, it can alleviate the shortage in the past six months, and even make up for it, which can support the army to go out to fight." Wei Bo'an, the governor of Shanxi, remembered one thing, that is, the news that had just come back from Bazhou was that the Fifth Army had captured hundreds of thousands of stones of grain in Sichuan to be sent to Beijing.
In addition, hundreds of thousands of stone grains forcibly requisitioned or confiscated from the hands of big clans in various places, as well as millions of gold and silver, this is all the savings of the entire northern Sichuan and northeastern Sichuan since the Ming Dynasty, Tan Wu doesn't care about these, anyway, he doesn't cooperate or secretly play small actions, all of them are all caught by him, with the identity of Zhao Sheng, he has no scruples when he starts.
"That's right, this part of the money and grain must be transported out quickly, after the army entered Sichuan, there has not been much change, pass on my general order, transfer a brigade of the First Army into the northeast of Sichuan, guard the back road of the Wei Army, and let the Fifth Army quickly move south." It is really difficult to walk on the road in Sichuan, and the news from Shanxi was even isolated for a time, and Li Jing has no good way to do this natural obstacle.
So he swept everyone's faces, and suddenly had a plan in his heart, "The entire territory of Sichuan has accounted for half, and now is the time to start establishing the Sichuan Metropolitan Yamen and the Tuntian Army, and you can put forward any candidates, in addition, I decided to transfer Lin Chengzu, who originally belonged to Shanxi, to be transferred to Sichuan Governor, coordinate local military affairs and start to establish rule, and then ask Zhang Tinggong, the former governor of Datong, to serve as the Shanxi Inspectorate, and also lead the Qin Wangfu Supervision Department Langzhong, do this first, and wait until the future to make a decision." ā
"Yes!" The ministers and generals couldn't intervene in this kind of dispatch, and these had already been arranged, so no one had any objections, but the position of the commander of the Yamen of the Sichuan Metropolitan Division and the governor of the Tuntian Army made them a little surprised, after all, there was no one in everyone's hands to dispatch.
For example, Chen Da and Liang Sijiu will definitely not recommend people to go, they are all generals of the regular barracks, and the general army is promoted to the governor, which is said to be a good place, but it can't stand the Sichuan Tuntian Army, it will be a garrison in the future, who is willing to go? Not to mention the east and north, and even the southern line has a huge credit to speak of, who wants to go to Sichuan to retire?
And the brigade rate is promoted to the governor, it is ridiculous and generous, after all, the gap is too big, and they themselves are embarrassed to mention it.
And Wen Chen and the others, led by Li Denggao and Wei Bo'an, after thinking hard for a while, all looked at Li Fugui in unison, after all, since the governor of Sichuan was transferred from Shanxi, then naturally the governor of Sichuan should also be transferred by the Yamen of Shanxi.
"The minister recommended the commander of the Yamen of the Shanxi Metropolitan Division to be the governor of Sichuan, and the Gao lord has been trembling and loyal to his duties since he joined the king of Qin, and he has never been slack, and he has participated in the military affairs in the palace of the king of Qin, and has made great contributions to the formulation of military proposals, so he should be promoted to the governor of Sichuan." Shanxi Senator Chen Tianci, who received Li Denggao's signal, immediately got up and said.
As soon as he said this, Gao Xun hadn't moved yet, and the other generals were a little happy, after all, Gao Xun's position should be hot for a general soldier, and no one wanted to go to his command of the Yamen of Shanxi, but once he was promoted to the governor of Sichuan, then the vacant position in the Senate of the Qin Wangfu was wanted.
"The minister seconded the proposal, and the high commander worked hard and made great achievements, so he should be the best candidate for promotion to the governor of Sichuan." Wei Bo'an also spoke, because the civil official group does not agree very much with this kind of military generals who have taken refuge in him, Shanxi at this moment is regarded as Li Jing's base camp, and they will win the world in the future, they are the real ministers of the dragon, so Gao Xun is here, which means that he occupies an important position, even if it is out of goodwill to the military general group, they must throw Gao Xun to Sichuan.
Anyway, although the position of Sichuan is important, but the Tuntian Army is not directly commanded by the Sichuan Governor, if there is no war, then he can't even mobilize a Tuntian battalion, this position is a caretaker, so there is no big right, and the commander of the Sichuan Metropolitan Yamen is just a title, maybe one day this position will be merged with the Sichuan Governor.
"The last general seconded the proposal." Under the hint of Chen Da and Liang Sijiu, all the chief military officers who participated in the military conference and the generals of the various departments and yamen of the Qin Wangfu all seconded the proposal, and they couldn't wait to take over the vacant position of Gao Xun, because this was the key central department that could meet with the Qin king day and night and formulate the actions of the army.
But isn't this Senate Yamen just a living military department? If you occupy such a position first, you will not be rewarded for meritorious deeds after the founding of the country in the future, and this military squire will definitely not be able to run away, so for many generals, being able to ascend to this position is equivalent to establishing their own status in the new court.
"Gao Xun, what do you mean?" Li Jing saw that everyone proposed him, and he immediately understood in his heart, but his original intention was to let Gao Xun go, after all, although this person served himself, but it is not a matter to be so concurrently with the Senate.
"The minister is willing to go to Sichuan to serve the King of Qin!" Gao Xun is not satisfied, look at Wang Pu, he took over as the chief soldier of Datong, he doesn't even have a position in front of King Qin now, he can still serve as the governor of Sichuan under Li Jing, what is there to be dissatisfied with? Even if the new dynasty is established, in terms of meritorious deeds, he has meritorious service in defending the land, at least he can get a title, which is something that he never dared to think of in the past.
"Okay, in that case, pass on the leader of the Gu Wang, order Gao Xun to resign from his original position, and send 200 soldiers to escort the Yulin Army along the way, and go to Sichuan to serve as the commander of the Sichuan Metropolitan Yamen and the governor of the Sichuan Tuntian Army, with a quota of 25,000 people, and be sure to guard Sichuan for the king!" Li Jing looked at the delighted Gao Xun and nodded secretly, it's just a pity that this person will be an official, and he will also be aware of his intentions, if it weren't for the high status when he took refuge from the Ming Court, he really wanted to keep this person by his side and use it well, it's a pity!
"As for the Senate Yamen Langzhong, you wait and discuss separately, and the king will be appointed again after three days, as for the general soldier of Wang, he used to be the chief soldier of Datong in the Ming court, and now the lone king has incorporated Datong Mansion under the governor of Shanxi, so he is not in this position alone, and you are temporarily serving as the commander of the Yamen of the Shanxi Metropolitan Division, can you?" In essence, Li Jing already has a favorite candidate in his heart, but he must let his subordinates compete, otherwise wouldn't these generals become a piece of their own?
However, seeing Gao Xun leave and go to Sichuan to serve as the governor, the vacant position is really promising, at least Wang Pu's placement is all of a sudden, which is also Li Jing's view that he did not resist, and after surrendering, he directly persuaded the 1,200 cavalry in Beijing to take the initiative to participate in the war against the Mongol Tatars, which can be regarded as a meritorious service, so a Shanxi commander is not wronged by him.
"The last general Xie Qin's great grace, toothless and unforgettable!" Seeing that Li Jing has the strength to win the world, and the situation is also developing in favor of the Qin army, Wang Pu is eager to join the Qin army immediately and seek a position. (To be continued.) )
