Chapter 91 There are people in the court who are easy to do

"Mr. Jiang, this is a letter sent by Chongyue, you can take a look at it first."

Today, Yue Su received a letter sent by Yang Yishan, and after he read it, he immediately sent someone to find Jiang Jie.

Jiang Jie entered the study, finished the salute, and before he could sit down, Yue Su began to speak. After speaking, Yue Su picked up the letter on the table and handed it forward. Jiang Jie hurriedly walked to the bookcase, took the letter, and then sat down on the chair where he started, and took a look.

The letter goes something like this. "Teacher, the students intend to send troops to Gansu to exterminate the Liukou, but there is a shortage of soldiers and horses, lack of food and grass, and they are worried that the light division will advance rashly, but let the Liukou take advantage of it, or see that they are invincible, and flee back to Shaanxi. Therefore, the students specially asked the emperor to transfer soldiers and horses from Shanxi and Sichuan to Shaanxi for reinforcements and gather troops to suppress bandits. And allocated 100,000 stone of grain and rice from Sichuan to help military supplies. The teacher can rest assured that in this battle, there is a father-in-law who gives advice to the students, and he will definitely be able to reap the full attack and flatten the Liukou in one fell swoop. I only hope that the teacher can help coordinate in Beijing and promote this matter. Student Yang Yishan paused. ”

After Jiang Jie finished reading it, Yue Su said, "Sir, do you think this matter is feasible?" ”

"If this proposal is advocated by Chongyue, his subordinates are a little worried, but he has Xiong Feibai sitting by his side, and with the strategy of Lord Xiong, it should not be difficult to exterminate the Liukou, just look at how to set up the subordinates. But there is one point, just like Chongyue said, this rogue has always been wandering around, and it is difficult to resist, so it will be bad to take a detour back to Shaanxi. The subordinates thought that the adults could tell him again, as for whether to transfer troops and horses from Shanxi and Sichuan to help, it would be agreed upon after his excerpt entered Beijing, and it would not be too late to make a decision. ”

Jiang Jie's meaning was actually to approve Yang Yishan's proposal. Rogue is a big problem, and it must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to get rid of the tiger in the future. But if it is based on Yang Yishan's ability alone, Jiang Jie is really a little worried, this is a large-scale battle, and there is no room for mistakes, but with Xiong Tingbi in charge, it is another matter. As for the transfer of 100,000 stone of grain from Sichuan, it is not a big deal, just give it to him; It is okay to transfer troops from Shanxi and Sichuan, but it must be won, and once the liukou is allowed to flow back to Shaanxi and follow the flow to Shanxi or Sichuan, it will be bad. But Yang Yishan can take this into account, which shows that he has done enough work.

"Since Mr. agrees with Chongyue's idea, then it is not impossible for me to help him and reap all the credit. His excerpt is estimated to arrive in two days, and then, as Mr. said, discuss it first. Hong Chengchou has already entered Beijing and assumed the post of secretary of the Ministry of War, and he is very familiar with the situation there and can listen to his opinions. Yue Su said.

really followed Yue Su's words, and two days later, Yang Yishan's recital was sent to Jingshi and entered the cabinet.

As soon as the excerpt arrived, it was naturally Lord Yue who looked at it first, probably he already knew the content, and now he has read it again, and the things that are invited are basically the same as those written in the letter. After reading it, Yue Su gave Han Yi a look, and after Han Yi finished reading it, he was the cabinet ministers of Qi Shijiao and Zhang Zhenggang.

After all the ministers saw it, they returned to Yue Su's hands, and then Lord Yue said: "Yang Yishan, the governor of the three sides, proposed to transfer soldiers and horses from Shanxi and Sichuan to Gansu, and he will suppress the Liukou, what do you think?" ”

Now Sichuan and Shanxi, in fact, there are not too many soldiers and horses, Sichuan was tossed by Wang Jiayin, and the soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses. Not to mention Shanxi, in addition to fighting with Wang Ziyong, the Tartars also came to toss, not to mention the loss of soldiers.

If Hong Chengchou proposes such a proposal, the ministers will immediately oppose it, because this war is very important, and if the rogues who have been forced into Gansu come back, not only Shaanxi, but also Shanxi and Sichuan will be in chaos. Besides, isn't your trilateral governor still in charge of the soldiers and horses of Ningxia and Yansui, and you can transfer them from there. However, the soldiers knew that if they attacked Gansu, the soldiers and horses of Ningxia and Yansui would never move, and they must hold the border to prevent the rogues from escaping.

But the current proposal was put forward by Yang Yishan, with the identity of Lord Yang, plus Yue Su is in charge here, who dares to directly refuse. To put it mildly, whether this matter is accurate or not, in fact, everything everyone says is nonsense, and it is all a matter of Lord Yue's words.

Zhang Zhenggang, who is also a member of the Yue Party, was the first to speak: "My lord, the lower officials think that Lord Yang's proposal is very reasonable, and now I have Tartars outside the Ming Dynasty, and there are rogues inside, and the Tartars cannot be destroyed in a day. Therefore, according to Lord Yang's words, we should mobilize troops and try to eliminate the rogues in the shortest possible time. ”

Zhang Zhenggang doesn't know how to fight, but whether it's feasible or not, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it. is also a member of the party, how can there be anyone who does not help.

After he finished speaking, the Yue Party officials immediately nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, Qi Shijiao said: "Lord Yue, the lower officials also think that Lord Yang's suggestion is feasible, and the trouble of the exile must be calmed down as soon as possible. "Since you want to join hands with the Yue Party to govern the country, you should think of it together, it is urgent to suppress bandits, and it is rare for Yang Yishan to do it, so let him quickly pacify the Liukou and the world in the province is turbulent.

Under the leadership of Qi Shijiao, the ministers of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang also nodded together in agreement.

Now, Han Yi is the only one left who has not expressed his position. Han Yi didn't know how to lead troops to fight, and seeing all the ministers passing together, he had nothing to say but to pass. However, the old guy still said one more thing, "It is indeed urgent to suppress bandits, but I don't know if it is appropriate to transfer troops from Shanxi and Sichuan, otherwise please ask Hong Chengchou, the secretary of the Ministry of War, to help consider it, he has been in Shaanxi for a long time and knows the most about things there." ”

Yue Su also had this plan and wanted to hear Hong Chengchou's opinion, so he immediately sent someone to the yamen of the Ministry of War to invite Hong Chengchou to the cabinet for discussion.

Hong Chengchou had only arrived in Beijing to take up his post not long ago, and as soon as he heard that he had invited himself to the cabinet to discuss matters, he hurriedly rushed to the cabinet in a sedan chair.

Hong Chengchou, who was the governor of the three sides in Shaanxi, worked vigorously and resolutely, but since he entered Beijing as an official, he has become very low-key. As soon as he entered the cabinet, he looked humble, and first greeted all the adults, in fact, the secretary of the military department is no worse than the cabinet scholar, and even has more power.

Yue Su asked Hong Chengchou to sit down first, and then gave him Yang Yishan's fold, Hong Chengchou looked at it, and secretly pondered in his heart, it seems that this official really depends on his background, I have already made it clear to the court that if I can transfer tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to Shaanxi to help, I will be able to exterminate the Liukou, but the court did not reply, and when Yang Chongyue became the governor of the three sides, he asked the court for troops, and the cabinet took it as a major matter, and discussed it. Not to mention the food from the victims. People have to die more than people, who called Yang Yishan a good teacher.

Seeing Yue Su sitting on it, he couldn't say no, and this was a big plan to suppress bandits, and he had to work for the public. Hong Chengchou thought for a while and said: "My lords, Chengchou thinks that it is a top priority to exterminate the Liukou, and it is not impossible to transfer troops from other provinces, but the key is that the dispatch of troops cannot be lost. In addition, we must not allow the rogues to take the opportunity to enter Shaanxi again, otherwise Shanxi and Sichuan will lack major generals, and if they further invade, there will be chaos again. However, Cheng Chou saw that Lord Yang had already thought of this layer, and before he wanted to come to the expedition, he would definitely be able to make comprehensive arrangements. ”

"According to Lord Hong's intentions, this time Yang Chongyue proposed to transfer soldiers and horses from Shanxi and Sichuan to Shaanxi to help, and my lord thinks it is feasible." Yue Su said.

"Exactly." Hong Chengchou nodded and said.

"The cabinet has decided that it is feasible, and the Ministry of Hong Bing also thinks it is feasible, so that's right. Okay, let's vote, and then send it to the celebrant. Yue Su said.

The ministers unanimously approved and sent the prepared results to the celebrant along with the recital. This is a big deal, and after Zou Yi sees it, he will also send it to Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan does not have the right to deny the decision to be passed by the cabinet vote, after all, you are not the emperor yet, and generally speaking, the decision to be passed by the cabinet vote is not even easy for the emperor to veto.

"Since the Cabinet has decided to do so, let's do it."

Zhang Yan could only throw down such a sentence. Of course, more than anyone else, she wanted to get rid of the rogue sooner.

Zou Yi received the order, went back and asked Liu Mingguo to approve a "quasi", he stamped it on it, and then asked the cabinet to draft an order and send it to the governors of Sichuan and Shanxi, so that the two places could send troops to fight the bandits with Yang Yishan.

And so it was decided, and the decree was soon issued. According to the distance, the will will naturally go to Shanxi first, and Liu Ce, the governor of Shanxi, did not say a word, and complied with the order. Wujia Province, the first fierce general of Shanxi, was ordered to lead 20,000 troops to Shaanxi. According to the right reason, the transfer of so many soldiers and horses should be carried out by the general soldier in person, and the general army of Shanxi is not very bold, and he is not willing to go to the broken place in Gansu, and as soon as he discusses with Liu Ce, he simply let the Wu family save it, give him an order, and bring 20,000 soldiers and horses to go.

20,000 horses is a lot for Shanxi now, when the king was used for his own use, there were a lot of soldiers, and now these 20,000 people can be said to be all the soldiers and horses that can be mobilized in Shanxi. The remaining soldiers, that is, the soldiers who have no combat effectiveness in the guard, and the garrison yamen who are normally responsible for the defense of the city.

Shanxi first sent troops and horses, Sichuan side, after the governor Zhu Xieyuan saw the holy decree, it can be said that he was worried, where can Sichuan still draw too many soldiers and horses to fight, the original toss, heavy casualties, the rest, is not the main force, are some garrison yamen and guards, now it is to recruit some new soldiers, but also can not go to the battlefield.

But the imperial court asked him to transfer troops, and he could only let the new Sichuan chief soldier Li Jinke lead an army of 20,000 and escort 100,000 stone of grain to Shaanxi. There are no decent soldiers and horses in themselves, and of course the ones sent out can't be very strong.

40,000 soldiers and horses have arrived in Shaanxi, Yang Yishan is overjoyed, now not only has food, but also soldiers and horses, go to Gansu to exterminate the Liukou, just around the corner.

And the generals on the Shaanxi side, when they saw Lord Yang going up, they wanted soldiers and food, and they were full of admiration. I secretly thought in my heart, follow Lord Yang to exterminate it, and when the rogue is destroyed, the reward will definitely be higher than that of following Lord Hong.
