Hu Zongxian's anger is real, he has led troops in the southeast for many years, facing cunning Japanese robbers, and there are many similarities with Meda.

There are thousands of miles of sea frontier in the southeast and the Great Wall of China in the northwest. Backed by the vast sea, there are as many as 100,000 people, and they also have a close relationship with the maritime merchant clans in the southeast.

And I answered the grassland, with 200,000 people controlling the strings, and I didn't know what to do with the Jin merchants.

To put it bluntly, Tang Yi and Hu Zongxian are facing the same situation, and even because Xuanda is closer to the capital, it is more difficult to deal with.

A big victory is certainly gratifying, but how to turn the advantage into a victory, and how to solve the side trouble with the minimum cost? It's worth thinking about, it's not just a matter of patting your head and talking nonsense.

The southeast returned to peace because of the opening of the sea, and if the northwest wants to be safe, opening the border and discussing peace is the only way, but the rules must be formulated by the Ming Dynasty.

Fight without breaking, and overwhelm people with potential!

It was the essence of Tang Yi's plan, Hu Zongxian saw through it at a glance, and he raised his hands and feet in favor.

The words of seeking the country were actually said by the official to be ill-intentioned, and he also made friends with close attendants, who is the close attendant? Isn't it me Hu Zongxian?

Come on! Lao Tzu has already endured enough, if he doesn't show some blood, he still treats Lao Tzu as an ornament!

Hu Zongxian got up angrily and said loudly: "Prepare the sedan chair, I want to go to the cabinet!" His subordinates waited for Hu Zongxian to change into a first-class court clothes, and walked outside, and bumped into Yang Jisheng head-on.

"Ministry." Yang Jisheng was shocked: "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

"Of course!" Hu Zongxian said without hesitation: "Jiaoshan, there is a group of brutes who are impeached, do you know?" ”

Yang Jisheng nodded, he was also very angry, "It's really too bullying, Xingzhi has just made immortal achievements, and the reward of the court has not yet arrived, and a group of officials dare to attack the important ministers of the court at will, they really should kill the prestige!" ”

Hu Zongxian suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, Yang Jisheng didn't know why.

"Jiaoshan, you are an honest man, let me ask you, does the official of Kedao really have the courage to casually attack a pillar of the imperial court with outstanding achievements? In my opinion, they were instructed by someone, and they were nothing more than pawns and biting dogs! ”

Yang Jisheng was stunned for a moment, he didn't think about it so much, and when he heard Hu Zongxian's statement, he also felt reasonable, "Ministry, who do you say is the person behind the scenes?" ”

"You really don't know?" Hu Zongxian smiled playfully, "I'll let you know soon!" ”

At this time, the sedan chair came, Hu Zongxian opened the sedan curtain and sat in.

Eight sedan chairs out of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, went straight to Xiyuan, along the way Hu Zongxian's face was pale, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and his anger was burning. I have been in the southeast for nearly ten years, exhausted my hard work, boiled my hair, and did not support the overall situation of the southeast by myself, can those people enjoy themselves in the capital with peace of mind?

The group of people who benefited the most turned around, bit themselves hard, picked up the bowl to eat meat, put down the chopsticks and scolded the mother!

If Tang Yi hadn't been painstaking and thoughtful and transferred himself to the capital, he was afraid that he would suffer more humiliation.

For more than a year, Xu Jie's purge of the Yan Party has reached the point of sparing no effort, and many cadres have been scolded for their disrepute, lost their official positions, and even caused disaster to their families.

If this unhealthy wind is not stopped, there may not be many loyal ministers of state who will be harmed in the future!

For Tang Yi, for himself, and for the sake of thousands of people who do things solidly, we must come out of this!

When he arrived at the forbidden gate of Xiyuan, Hu Zongxian was silent for a while, trying to make his face look not so ugly, he got off the sedan chair, went to the door, and handed over the sign.

Hu Zongxian has the title of Shaobao, and among the six books, he is on an equal footing with Yang Bo, and his position is higher than that of the two new bachelors who have entered the pavilion, how dare the gatekeeper say more, especially this one with a black face!

Hurry up and go inside, and after a while, Li Chunfang walked out of it with a smile. This is a well-known good gentleman, no one can be offended, Yan Xu's party struggle is so fierce, he is a student of Xu Jie, and Yan Song is like a subordinate official, to put it bluntly, it is a nest thing that can't kick the fart of the three sects, and the only thing that can be done is Qingzi.

Such a thing can also enter the cabinet, the more Hu Zongxian thought about it, the more angry he became, he just snorted slightly, and he didn't bother to say a word and went inside.

Li Chunfang touched her nose, smiled helplessly, and hurriedly followed. Hu Zongxian went directly to the front of Xu Jie's duty room, which was originally Yan Ge's old duty room, whenever Hu Zongxian entered Beijing to report on his work, Yan Song would cordially receive and encourage him.

It's only been less than a year, and it's embarrassing!

Hu Zongxian paused, and said loudly: "Xiaguan Hu Zongxian asks to see Xu Ge Lao!" ”

The words fell, Xu Jie came out of it with a smile, and when he saw Hu Zongxian, he hurriedly said: "It's Ruzhen who is here, please come in quickly." Seeing that Xu Jie was very enthusiastic, Hu Zongxian's anger was reduced by two points, after all, people are in power, why bother not to be happy.

When he arrived inside, there were attendants serving tea, Hu Zongxian pondered for a while, and said: "Yuan Weng, the lower officials are here to talk about rewarding meritorious soldiers and the idea of strengthening the defense of the Nine Frontiers. ”

Xu Jie nodded, "Okay, the old man is looking for you." ”

"Tang Shuai's great victory over me this time is a rare feat in the past, from Ma Fang, Qi Jiguang, Yang An down, there are more than 7,800 meritorious soldiers, of which more than 4,000 people died in battle, according to the calculation of 100 taels per person, it will cost 800,000 taels, and nearly 50,000 heads will be beheaded, and each head will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver, which will cost 2.5 million taels, adding up to 3.3 million taels." Hu Zongxian said again: "In this battle, the Qi family's army rushed thousands of miles and had unparalleled combat power, and Yang An's firecrackers were equally sharp, which proved that the southern soldiers were available. In order to defend the nine sides, Xia Guan proposed to transfer 50,000 soldiers from the south to the north to enrich the nine sides, and the silver required was 2 million taels! ”

Xu Jie listened to Hu Zongxian's words, his head was buzzing, it was good to win the battle, but the reward was also fatal, plus the transfer of troops, it would cost more than 5 million taels, and the current cabinet couldn't even take out 500,000 taels.

And the transfer of troops is not a trivial matter, 50,000 horses is enough to break the balance of the nine sides, those hereditary generals will definitely be impacted, and even the Jin Party may not agree.

Hu Zongxian's request was too much, Xu Jie's expression was solemn and silent. Hu Zongxian didn't squeak either, he just looked at it lightly, he had already thought about it, if Xu Jie was good to talk about and discuss, and agreed to the request, we would be dissipated one day, and those officials would be farting.

If you don't agree, hehe! You are a young master, I am a young guard, when it comes to holy dependents, it is not bad for you, it is a big deal to bring the lawsuit to Your Majesty!

After five minutes of silence, Xu Jie let out a long sigh and broke the silence, "Ruzhen, the treasury is empty, you also know it, it is impossible to take out so much money at once. Reward, send one million taels first, and then the rest of the old man will find a way. As for the transfer of troops, the old man thought that it was better to slow down. ”

Hu Zongxian's face sank, "Yuan Weng, can you explain the reason?" ”

The tone is not good, there is a taste of forcing the palace, Xu Jie is quite disliked, he changed his title, and said: "Hu Butang, this battle Ma Fang fought very well, the soldiers of the nine sides are still available, and the southern soldiers are mobilized to the north, and there are tens of thousands of strong soldiers in the hands of the current descendants, if the people are mobilized again, the old man is worried that people's words are terrible, and he is only afraid that he will not be able to do well......"

is worthy of being the first assistant, the level is high, it is obviously suppressed, and it can be said that it is for your good!

What are you kidding, how many people are under Tang Yi? Qi Jiguang is the chief soldier of Jizhen, after the battle, he has to return it to Jiangdong, Tang Yi only has Ma Fang and Yang An in his hands, and after the war, there are less than 10,000 people left. And the Great Wall he wants to defend is a thousand miles, and an average of ten people per mile.

There are at least 150,000 people on the opposite side, and they are all cavalry coming and going like the wind.

Why are you Xu Jie opposed, do you want to put Tang Yi in a Jedi?

That's how the imperial court treats heroes?

No wonder those officials dare to be unscrupulous, and sure enough, someone is their backer!

Hu Zongxian thought of this, and suddenly laughed, laughing so much that Xu Jie was stunned, this guy is sick, and the cabinet is also a place for you to go wild?

Without waiting for Xu Jie to speak, Hu Zongxian stood up first, "Elder Xu Ge, there is a way to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, this time the people and horses of Xuanda and Jizhen are all injured, if you want them to hold the border, you can't do it if you don't increase your troops!" As for the silver reward, at least two million taels, and another 500,000 taels of gunpowder will be allocated to supplement the consumption, otherwise, our military department will not agree! ”

Hu Zongxian's voice was violent, Xu Jie was stunned and speechless, not because he was asked, but because he was shocked by Hu Zongxian's attitude. Since the fall of the Yan family's father and son, Yan Shifan got out, and no one dared to talk to Xu Jie.

Aren't you just a little military secretary, don't think that if you make a little contribution in the southeast, you can climb to the head of the old man and do whatever you want, don't forget, you are still a strict party!

"Master Hu!" Xu Jie gritted his teeth and said angrily: "This is the cabinet, please respect yourself!" ”

Let me respect myself, who should respect myself?

Hu Zongxian only felt that it was ridiculous, and his anger could no longer be suppressed.

"Hu only reorganizes words! Lord Tang has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, all the princes of the court, which one should not thank Tang Shuai? It's just that there is a group of petty people who wantonly slander and attack Tang Shuai, and the cabinet sits idly by and ignores their nonsense, conniving at favoritism, and doesn't this behavior chill the people of the world? ”

"Hu Ruzhen!"

Xu Jie slapped the table angrily and stood up suddenly, although he was a head shorter than Hu Zongxian, his momentum was still above Hu Zongxian.

"You are also an important minister of Jiuqing, don't you understand that the official has the power to hear about things? They are right or wrong in their impeachment, and the cabinet will deal with it, but before the results come out, you say that the cabinet connived at favoritism, what evidence is there? ”

Don't say it, the dignified first assistant, the teacher of a hundred officials, once you go crazy, it's still very scary.

But Hu Zongxian didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, so he didn't retreat at all, and sneered: "The official just leans on one mouth, Lord Shoufu loves him so much, and always remembers that they can hear about it." In your old heart, what are the soldiers at the border gates? They raised their heads and did a lot of blood for Daming, Hu was just asking for the reward they deserved, what's wrong? This Ming Dynasty, is it possible to make the heroes chill again, and the night is small? ”

Hu Zongxian roared bitterly: "Even if you are strict and should be in charge of the country, there are meritorious soldiers, and the rewards you deserve are not less, Elder Xu Ge, can you bear it?" (To be continued.) )
