Chapter 44: Meritorious Counterinsurgency

In the surprise attack on the dragon, this is undoubtedly too bold, if it is defeated, it will definitely be a piece of armor. Inside the tent, all the generals looked at Yue Su with surprised eyes.

Yue Su, as the front, has conquered these martial artists even in the future, and a civil official dares to act as the front and take the lead in charging into battle, which makes many generals ashamed. It's just that the current proposal is too risky.

The generals first looked at Yue Su, and then at the governor, after all, it was his old man who made the final decision. Everyone still hopes that Wang Sanshan will refuse Yue Su's proposal, but when he says it, he seems to be too pustuated, no matter how he says that it is a civilian official who made this suggestion, and he is still in the front, and the civil officials are not afraid of death.

After Wang Sanshan sat down on the case, his face was solemn and thoughtful. Being an official to achieve this position is by no means incompetent, and the former supporters do not advance because they are afraid, and they still have their vision. In his heart, Yue Su's opinion was indeed risky, but it was also a strategy to break the enemy. He is the governor of Guizhou, he won the battle, he is the one who has the light on his face, and he is also the one who has the greatest credit. Guizhou is also his jurisdiction, so he can't let these rebels run rampant. The war will end soon, and it will be better for you to stop for a few years, lest you end up in the future because of the endless rebels.

After weighing it for a long time, Wang Sanshan finally said: "Lord Yue, how sure are you that you will send troops to attack Longli?" What's the best idea? ”

Obviously, Wang Sanshan's heart has begun to support Yue Su, but he is also a scheming old man, and he will not be hot-headed and fight, at least see what offensive strategy you Yue Su has. If the success rate is high, let's send troops again.

"Lord Hui, Xia Guan thinks that this battle can have a sixty percent chance of winning. First, the enemy chieftain would never have thought that our army would have the courage to surprise Longli, take it by surprise, attack it unprepared, and have already won two percent first. Second, if the enemy army easily captures half of Guizhou, it will certainly be arrogant and arrogant, which is a taboo for soldiers and is really self-defeating. Our army is elite, and the recent big victory, the momentum is booming, and the courage to kill the crazy people has a two-percent chance of victory. Third, most of the enemy army is a rabble, and they can only fight a good battle and plunder the people, but when they encounter a strong enemy, their confidence will collapse, and they will lose the heart of resistance to the death, and they will scatter as birds and beasts. In the first confrontation, our army can send 15,000 people as the front, and when the fierce battle is in full swing, the rear team of men and horses will make reinforcements to advance noisily, and many trees and flags will be displayed, and the enemy will not know how many men and horses we have. The enemy will be terrified, and our army can annihilate it in one fell swoop. These truths, Yue Su saw from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and facts have proved that why the Manchurian Tatars were able to conquer the world by relying on a Romance of the Three Kingdoms has a deep connotation.

After hearing this, Wang Sanshan nodded again and again, and said loudly: "I have made up my mind, tonight the third watch will make dinner, and the fifth watch will set off, and send troops to take Longli directly!" ”

**************************************************

In the battle of Longli, as Yue Su expected, the rabble could indeed only fight a tailwind battle, and once they encountered the Ming army whose courage was stronger than theirs, they had no combat power, and they relied on the superiority of numbers to barely resist. Yue Su's suspicious tactics were extremely effective, and the rear team tried their best to make noise, making the sound of killing shocking the sky, the flags were covered, and the sand and dust were everywhere, and the rebels did not know how many men and horses had come. The Ming soldiers who were fighting in front of them shouted at the top of their voices, reinforcements were coming, and they even reported a slogan of 100,000 troops, which frightened the rebels into losing their morale.

An Bangyan, who was sitting in the marshal tent, saw that the signs were wrong, and took the lead in escaping, the enemy army was without a handsome, and the army's morale was even more chaotic. The rebels fled in all directions, trampling on each other, and suffering countless casualties.

After conquering Longli and destroying the rebels' lair, the Ming army turned around and rushed to Guiyang, and the rebels who surrounded Guiyang heard that Longli was defeated, and the life and death of the king of Luodian were uncertain. Zhang Yanfang led the defenders of the city out of the city to respond, attacked twice, and killed more than 10,000 rebels.

The good news came out, and within a few days, reinforcements from Guangxi and Huguang arrived in Guiyang one after another, and for a time the strength of the enemy and our weakness was reversed. Wang Sanshan handed over to Li Zong, led his men and horses to chase and kill the rebels, and two years later, the "Anxu Rebellion" was pacified.

Guizhou has reported successes one after another, but the Wanli Emperor sitting in the Forbidden City is happy and worried. Of course, the joy is that Guizhou eliminated the enemy without spending a penny of money from the national treasury, and the worry is that Liaodong laborers are paid, and finally in Salhu was killed by Nurhachi.

With this regret, in the forty-eighth year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun, the longest-reigning emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty, finally passed away and was nicknamed Shenzong. He was succeeded by the crown prince Zhu Changluo, that is, Mingguangzong, who had only been emperor for one month. After the emperor, who had been cautious and suppressed for a long time, ascended the throne, he only indulged for a while and lost his surname. The famous carpenter emperor Zhu Youxiao in history began to ascend to this highest throne, and the Ming Dynasty changed its name to "Apocalypse". With him on the stage of history, there is also the first power annihilation in history that made Liu Jin and Wang Zhen embarrassed - Wei Zhongxian.

*********************************************************************

Apocalypse in September of the first year. A large hall in the Forbidden City resounded with a constant tug-of-war. A young man in a dragon robe, armed with a delicate chainsaw, is concentrating on cutting a wooden flute. After sawing the wooden flute, he carefully measured it with a ruler, and after confirming that it was correct, he nodded with satisfaction.

A little eunuch next to him presented a yellow satin handkerchief, and the young man took it, wiped the sweat from his head, and threw the handkerchief aside. The young man is no one else, if Yue Su sees it, he will definitely remember that this is the arrogant boy who competed with himself on the street to try carpentry. The naughty boy of that year has become the emperor, and he is Zhu Youxiao of Mingxi Sect.

At this time, an old eunuch walked in with a young eunuch in his twenties, and after the two entered the door, they immediately greeted the emperor. "Old slave, see Your Majesty." "Slaves and maids see Your Majesty."

The old eunuch in front did not kneel, but bowed; The young eunuch in the back, holding a stack of music in his hand, knelt on the ground. I think it's a different level.

"Wei Qing, I'm busy with this kung fu, what's the matter?" Zhu Youxiao said politely.

"Back to Your Majesty, Guizhou won a great victory, the rebel leader An Bangyan committed suicide, and the whole territory of Guizhou has been peaceful since then. These are the excerpts of Guizhou Governor Wang Sanshan Shangchen asking for merit for his generals. "The eunuch who can be called Wei Qing by the emperor is naturally only Wei Zhongxian. After stepping on the corpses of Wei Dynasty and Wang An to climb the eunuch Bingbi and the eunuch of the Dongchang Governor, Wei Zhongxian reached the peak of his eunuch career.

But in front of the emperor, he still has to be behaving and honest. Especially now, Wei Zhongxian has not yet reached the point of monopolizing power, after all, there is still a strength in the DPRK and China that is not inferior to him, and even now it is slightly better, and the name of this strength is called the Donglin Party. Because of his great efforts in the "Palace Removal Case", the carpenter emperor appreciated them and did not hesitate to hold official positions.

Therefore, at this time, Wei Zhongxian did not dare to deceive Shengcong, he had to tell the emperor about everything, and he did not dare to make decisions about many things. Of course, in the later period, he also had to tell the emperor about major events, but it was only when the emperor was doing carpenter work to the end. Because at that time, the emperor would only say one word, you can watch it.

Today is no exception, Zhu Youxiao said: "That's it, you can watch it." ”

"The old slave obeyed. It's just that among these people who praised him, one of them was named Yue Su, who was very controversial, and the old slave really didn't dare to make his own decisions, and he hoped that His Majesty would make a judgment. Wei Zhongxian said cautiously.

"Yue Su!" As soon as he heard this name, Zhu Youxiao's heart couldn't help but tremble. I couldn't help but reach into my arms and take out a small wooden figure.

"His name is Yue Su too? Could it be him? Zhu Youxiao muttered to himself in his heart. Over the years, the name Yue Su has been unforgettable for him. This is the only person who has won him in carpentry, and since that day, Zhu Youxiao has forgotten to sleep and eat, practicing carving hard, and wants to see this person named Yue Su again. It's a pity that in the past few years, he has almost turned around the carpenters in Yanjing City, and he has never encountered them again. Unexpectedly, I heard this name again today.

After pondering for a long time, Zhu Youxiao said: "What is the controversy about this person? ”

"That's the case, Guizhou Governor Wang Sanshan said that he judged cases like a god, governed many places with many political achievements, took the lead in quelling the rebellion, and repeatedly made military exploits, ensuring that he was promoted to Guizhou's political envoy. The Duke of Qianguo in Yunnan also went to the book to protect the performance, saying that he was a genius in both civil and military affairs, and hoped that His Majesty would reuse him and promote him to the governor of Yunnan. However, many imperial historians in the capital impeached him for his great success, and he killed innocents indiscriminately in the name of raising salaries, and took the opportunity to enrich his own pockets. With such mixed reviews, it is really difficult to decide. Wei Zhongxian replied truthfully.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Wei Qing, what about your opinion?" ”

"The old slave's idea is that the impeachment of the Duke of Qianguo and the imperial history of the DPRK is mostly out of selfishness. Where is the private, Qianguo Gong is afraid that because he investigated the case of the murder of Junma, admired Yue Su's talent, and wanted to promote him to Yunnan. The impeachment of the imperial history, it is said that when Yue Su was handling the case, I don't know which relatives were involved, and it was impossible to find out for a while. As for Wang Sanshan's protection, I think it should be out of justice. ”

"Since Wang Sanshan is out of righteousness, then read his excerpt to me." The carpenter emperor is really not very literate, that is, the culture of the third grade of primary school, or he can't understand it, or he is too busy to read it, so he can only let people read it.

Compared with him, Gonggong Wei was too strong, and he took Wang Sanshan's recital from the young eunuch behind him and recited. Of course, the content is Yue Su's performance in Tongren and the credit he made when he suppressed the bandits, and every word is completely true.

After listening to the recital, Zhu Youxiao said: "I have such a capable person in my dynasty, which is really a blessing for the country and a blessing for the society." Being a political envoy in Guizhou is really overkill, so it is better to transfer him to Beijing. Wei Qing, do you think there is any position suitable for him in the capital? ”

The emperor's meaning couldn't be more obvious, he planned to reuse Yue Su, but now Yue Su is already a five-grade prefect, and he has made such a great contribution, it is not an exaggeration to give a third-grade or fourth-grade official position, but in Yanjing City, the real power official positions at this level are already saturated, and there are some innocuous soy sauce positions, which really do not meet the emperor's intentions.

After pondering for a long time, he said: "The old slave thinks that it is most appropriate to promote Yue Su to the prefect of Shuntian Mansion. ”

The rank of the prefect of the Ming Dynasty was divided into four classes. Among them, the most advanced are Shuntianfu and Yingtianfu, which can be called Fuyin, which are the three products. Other prefects are divided into large prefectures, middle prefectures, and small prefectures according to the amount of taxes paid each year. Yuesu's Tongren Mansion is also a barren land, and the tax is not as good as that of the Central Plains Mansion, so it is also a five-grade prefect. has made such a great achievement, and it is just right to be promoted to the third grade Shuntianfu.

"Quasi-play!"
