"Lian Po is old, can you still eat?"

Zhou Yanru's eyes flickered, and he had no opinion on Chen Xinjia's suggestion to reinstate Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou, but Sun Chengzong was the governor of Jiliao......

This position, he has been promised to his protégé Fan Zhi, Fan Zhiwan's confidants do not say, the same qualifications are outstanding, successively served as the inspector of the political department of Huguangbu, the secretary of the Shandong Inspectorate, the official of Ningguo, the prefect of Zhending, and also served as the governor of Shanxi, the post of the left waiter of the Ministry of War, with him as the governor of Jiliao, replacing Yang Shenwu, all parties have no opinions.

After Hong Chengchou went earlier, the court agreed to replace him with Yang Shenwu, the governor of Shuntian, Yang Shenwu had served as the governor of Henan, and when he patrolled Hedong, he was very good at developing the salt industry, and he also exterminated the White Lotus Sect, and he also found out that the Tang King Zhu Yujian conspiracy and rebellion, and the starry night secretly played the imperial court, and was promoted to the right attendant of the military department.

When he served as the governor of Jiliao, Emperor Chongzhen personally "summoned the platform", and rewarded Shang Fang with the sword, Du Du and others attacked Liaodong, Yang Shenwu Governor Yongping, Shanhaiguan troops went to the rescue, but just out of Shanhaiguan, Yang Shenwu died due to worsening hernia, and the court posthumously presented Guanglu Doctor, Prince Shaofu, and the military department Shangshu, and gave a funeral, nicknamed Zhuang Jie.

The position of the governor of Jiliao is vacant, and all parties are vying for it, Zhou Yanru of course means that his protégé Fan Zhi is finished, and Sun Chengzong is a horizontal leg, how can he explain to his henchman protégé?

He frowned and said: "Besides, after all, Elder Sun Ge is too old, it seems that he is over eighty years old, and he has to travel thousands of miles to Liaodong, how can he give preferential treatment to ministers?" ”

Wei Zaode, a scholar of Dongge University, also said: "Sun Ge has worked hard and made great achievements. Loyal to the country all his life, this old man has worked hard all his life, and he should also take care of his life. ”

No matter how much he hates Zhou Yanru, at this time, he also resolutely stands with him, Sun Chengzong is highly respected, not to mention, he is still a member of the Donglin Party, he served as the governor of Jiliao, Zhou Yanru is more stable in the cabinet, how can he have his own day?

The same is true for Chen Yan. Naturally, he didn't want Zhou Yanru to have more momentum. Even Emperor Chongzhen was indecisive.

To be honest, he didn't want to have another person of high moral and respected character to control him, especially Sun was once the emperor's teacher, and when he saw Sun Chengzong. Emperor Chongzhen felt a lot of pressure. The old man is still living in Gaoyang.

He paced back and forth. In the end, he said: "It is feasible to have Sun Chuanting as the governor of Shaanxi and Hong Chengchou as the governor of Beijing, and Sun Chengzong as the governor of Jiliao...... Let's talk about this again. ”

He didn't give the ministers a chance to talk, and said: "This soldier said that the new army is being organized and trained in the Beijing division and the locality. What do you think? ”

The ministers naturally had no opinion on Chen Xinjia's proposal to train the new army in Beijing, and the thieves raised troops to fight under the city of Beijing several times, and the Beijing division was shocked every day, and the ministers of the court and China had no sense of security, even if it was only for themselves, this new army must also be trained! But the place ......

Wei Zaode, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Dongge University, stepped forward and said: "What this soldier said about the new army in the Beijing camp, Weichen agreed, but he also practiced in the local area. ”

He sneered, stared at Chen Xinjia with cold eyes, and shouted: "Don't you hear about the disaster of the warlords at the end of the Han Dynasty and the end of the Tang Dynasty?" This soldier's move is intended to mess with my tomorrow? ”

He reported loudly to Emperor Chongzhen: "At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban rebellion, in order to exterminate the thieves, allowed Haoqiang to build his own army, which led to the local sitting, and the state and county supported the army. ”

He glared at Chen Xinjia angrily: "Now that the center is weak, how is it different from the end of the Han Dynasty?" Weichen has to doubt the intentions of this soldier, Your Majesty, this national thief also, please punish him! ”

Wei Zaode's eyes are deep, as a northern minister, how can he want to see the south sitting big?

Besides, he is good at guessing the emperor's thoughts, and now the military leaders in various places can no longer be controlled, fortunately, except for Wang Dou, they are all snakes and rats, and they are not to be afraid, but to give the local governor and train the soldiers to take real power, isn't this another place where the strong assassination history supports the army? The Emperor will not agree!

Sure enough, Wei Zaode's words hit Emperor Chongzhen's mind, the rebellion of warlords in the late Han and Tang dynasties must be guarded against, especially the power of literati and actual soldiers, and even more prevented, because in addition to military affairs, they have more ability to govern the political country!

His eyes flashed, and he also looked at Chen Xinjia suspiciously!

Zhou Yanru and the others were silent, indeed, they also had this concern.

For Chen Xinjia, the throne of the first assistant of the cabinet, why is he not hot? After guessing that he could stabilize his position as the secretary of the Ministry of War, he decided to fight hard and offer a few good laws to govern the country, so that the emperor would look at him differently, and he would have a good status in the emperor's heart like Yang Sichang.

He worked hard and lonely, so he offered the proposal of the local training of the new army.

Although he was angry at Wei Zaode's accusation, he was not surprised, the current cabinet is the status quo of the big melee, there is the struggle between the northern and southern factions of the Ming Dynasty, the struggle between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party, and the internal struggle between the same faction for their own interests.

In order to deal with Zhou Yanru, Wei Zaode and Chen Yan often stand with him, but when they see a good opportunity to hit themselves, they will not lag behind, after all, after pulling a person out of the cabinet, this vacates a position, and all parties can exchange it for very rich benefits.

He looked at Wei Zaode and said lightly: "Dare to ask the scholar, if not, what is your best strategy to exterminate the thieves?" ”

Wei Zaode said coldly: "Can you imagine that the heroes are divided, when the Ming Dynasty is hot and watery, Chen Xinjia, are you drinking to quench your thirst?" ”

Chen Xinjia continued to ask him: "Dare to ask how to exterminate the thieves?" ”

"The thieves are just wandering, but the strong are divided!"

Wei Zaode's eyes were as cold as ice and snow, and he looked at Chen Xinjia and shouted, "What do you want?" Chen Xinjia, but today's He Jin, wants to recruit Dong thieves into Beijing? ”

"How do you exterminate the thieves?"

Chen Xinjia snorted, and his fingers pointed directly at Wei Zaode's nose.

He took a deep breath, knelt down in front of Emperor Chongzhen and said, "The warlord rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty and the end of the Tang Dynasty, how can Weichen not know? However, taking history as a mirror, local formations and training of new armies can be avoided. The governor is originally a rotation, how can he have the real power to hold the army? Then the meaning of the micro-minister, it is also the first Beijing division and then the place, the strong trunk and the weak branches and leaves, there will be no disaster of supporting the army in the previous dynasty, please Your Majesty to see! ”

Emperor Chongzhen looked at him for a long time, and said slowly: "According to your wishes, how many soldiers should be trained in the Jingshi." How many soldiers should be trained in the place? ”

Chen Xinjia said: "The minister has calculated, Shanxi Town, Shaanxi, Huguang, and Nanzhili, it is best to train 10,000 new troops each, 50,000 in Beijing, and then train in the place after the Beijing division is trained." For the new army, you can set up a training office, and you can also ask Yongning Hou or Jibei Hou to send some instructors, the minister thinks, Yongning Hou They will definitely agree! ”

Emperor Chongzhen was a little moved. If you can avoid the scourge of supporting troops. There is another available strong soldier in the center, of course he is willing, Emperor Chongzhen heard that Wang Dou is also a separate training and commander of the army, so as to avoid the use of soldiers as generals. It doesn't affect the war yet. If you hold the training place in your hand. There is a lot to be done in this matter.

He was also moved by the fact that Wang Dou was selected to send instructors, although the court had the intention of suppressing Wang Dou. But for the good things in his hands, such as guns, cannons, armor, etc., everyone in the center was red, and the Ministry of Industry also sent someone to ask Wang Dou for the formula of Weijin Zi Medicine, but Wang Dou categorically refused, and almost reached out to Wang Dou in terms of food.

Wei Zaode was also dumbfounded, as Chen Xinjia said, although he can still pick thorns, it is obvious that the emperor and the ministers are already moved, after all, carefully speaking, the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages.

But after thinking about it, he sneered again: "To put it lightly, tens of thousands of new troops say that they will practice, but what about the salary?" What about the soldiers? And what should I do with the original Jingying? ”

He said loudly: "The secret of Wang Dou is to be a good family, divide the land!" It can be seen from the experience of Jibei Hou, as well as Jing Nanbo and Ning Nanbo that if you want to recruit a good family, the first thing is the field, and you dare to ask where the field comes from? 50,000 new troops, 50 acres per person, 2.5 million acres, is there so much land in this part of the Beijing Division? And even if so, how much does it cost? ”

He said: "And what about the salaries of the new army? In the old years, Xu Guangqi once trained in Shandong, and selected soldiers at the four levels of soldiers, front soldiers, strong men, and sergeants. There are also soldiers who need 20 taels of silver, and 50,000 new soldiers, only 1 million taels of silver are needed. What about their salaries? It also costs 75,000 taels a month, and 900,000 taels a year! ”

"They still have armor, Xu Guangqi said that a pair of fine armor costs sixteen taels, and Mao Yuanyi said that a pair is only three taels, how many taels are it?"

He sneered and glanced at Shangshuyuan Jingwen of the Ministry of Industry, and said: "Fold, count ten taels, the Jingbian army is all fine armor, and the central financial resources are insufficient, but at least the pikemen need to wear armor, right?" The firecrackers used cotton armor, and 25,000 pairs of iron armor required 250,000 taels of silver. A pair of cotton armor is three or five taels, twenty-five thousand pairs, and seven to one hundred thousand taels are also needed! This armor must be replaced, and some silver must be prepared......"

"Spears and waist knives are fine, they only cost a few dollars of silver each, but bird guns are not cheap!"

"Seiko made of birds, generally each rod costs three to five taels of silver, everyone says that the East Road firearms are good, they sell eight taels of a rod, and then with ten rounds of Weijin medicine, if you buy from them, tens of thousands of birds, 200,000 taels of silver always want, how much silver is here?"

The faces of the monarchs and ministers in the cabinet were ugly, Chen Xinjia wanted to speak and stopped, and listened to Wei Zaode continue: "With the new army, what should the original Beijing camp do?" More than 100,000 Beijing battalions, although it seems that the price is much cheaper than that of the new army, but it also needs more than 1.6 million stone of rice a year! The three major battalions have more than 100,000 troops, more than half of whom are old and weak, and the rest are mostly generals and honorables who are paid in vain, and the soldiers on the roster do not know where to work. They don't know how to fight, but their ability to make trouble is not small, how many times have they done it in the past to clean up the Beijing camp? In the second year of Chongzhen, Li Banghua also took care of the government of Jingying, and finally died without a problem......"

Wei Zaode said slowly, his demeanor was quite good, and his voice was magnetic, after all, he was born as a champion, and his words were reasonable.

Of course, Wei Zaode said that the risk is not small, if it is spread out of the cabinet, it will cause a lot of turmoil, this is certain, the things in the cabinet are as if they are transparent, but it can be simplified in the emperor's heart, Wei Zaode thinks it is still worth it.

And what he said is also true, in the second year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen vigorously supported Li Banghua to rectify the Beijing camp, and eliminated a total of more than 4,500 impostors in the Beijing army, but was fiercely counterattacked by the relatives of the Beijing master, eunuchs, and magnates, and was finally ordered to stay idle.

When Li Banghua resigned from Beijing, his luggage was robbed by the locality, and he returned to his hometown in humiliation, just like Liu Mao was treated in the same way as Liu Mao in the criminal department of the rectification post station at that time.

How to deal with the old army with the new army behind? It's okay to pay your wages on time, if not.

Wei Zaode looked at Chen Xinjia and sneered: "By the way, Weichen also forgot to calculate the local new army's food salary......

"Enough!"

Emperor Chongzhen snorted, and he said, "The army on the side of Xuanzhen, how did Wang Dou do it?" ”

Chen Xinjia said: "It seems that all the generals were elected to the Zhongyi camp, and the rest were all dismissed from Tuntian." ”

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned for a moment: "Isn't there anyone making trouble?" ”

Chen Xinjia said in a low voice: "Those who dare to make trouble have been killed by him!" (To be continued.) )
