Chapter 130: A Three-Year Gamble
"Within three years, if you can't get rid of the rogues, the minister is willing to accept the head of the king"
Seeing that Zhang Yan also asked, Yue Su stood up and replied in an affirmative voice
"Lord Yue can really tell jokes now, the northern provinces, now all around are rogues, three years of purge, isn't it a fool to say that I want to see, it would be good to be able to calm down within six years, it depends on this year's year, if the year is not good, I don't know what chaos will happen Lord Yue said for three years, aren't you afraid that you will not be able to calm down within three years, and fall into a crime of bullying the king, and really lose your head?" Han Yi said coldly
Zhang Yan now, every day, she has to send people from Dongchang to inquire around, to see what the current situation is like Yue Su said that three years to clear the Liukou, she really couldn't believe it, and said: "Yue Qing's family, three years of purging is really impossible, if everyone uses their lives, it will be good to be able to calm down within six years, and the mourning family will be relieved."
"Yes, the Queen Mother is right, Lord Yue, I think you still take back what you just said, and leave the truth in the province," Han Yi followed
He seemed to persuade Yue Su again, but everyone understood that this was using the method of agitation to squeeze out the officials of Yue Su's party and hated him so much, but they all looked at Yue Su with blank eyes, hoping that Lord Yue could retract his bold words of purging the Liukou for three years
And Yue Su looked calm, smiled faintly, and said: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, since the minister dares to say that the Liukou will be cleared within three years, he will naturally be able to clear it at that time, and please ask the Emperor and the Queen Mother to be relieved that if the three-year period arrives, if the Liukou still cannot be cleared, the minister is still willing to accept the head of the Xiang Shangshang."
"Ah......h
Seeing Yue Su say this again, all the ministers are stupid Is this possible, Yuan Chonghuan said that he had been in Pingliao for five years, and he was all a big talk, and your Lord Yue was even bigger than Yuan Chonghuan's tone, and it took three years to purge the Liukou and fight day by day, the Liukou were running around, the strength was getting bigger and bigger, the number was increasing, and the generals below had a lot of self-respect, what to do to clean up?
"There is no joke in front of the king, Lord Yue, don't boast about it, so as not to be able to honor it at that time, how can you explain to the world that you are a minister of Tuogu, even if you really can't be cleared up at that time, it is not easy for the emperor to order to kill you" Han Yi said again
"Lord Han, what do you mean by that? Listening to your tone, are you afraid that the official will pay the debt after three years, then it's okay, the official has fulfilled your wish now, and made a military order in front of the king, and within three years, the rogues will be eliminated, do you see if you can be satisfied? Yue Su stared at Han Yi coldly and said loudly
Han Yi had this thought, but he didn't expect Yue Su to blatantly break it, so he couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, and said: "Lord Yue, you are inevitably a little joking in what you say, this official is also for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of Lord Yue, my lord, you are the minister of Tuogu, before the emperor is in power, how can there be no adult"
"This doesn't need to be the heart of Lord Han" Yue Su arched his hand upwards and said: "The emperor, the queen mother, the ministers are willing to make a military order in front of the emperor, within three years, Su Qing Liukou please give Weichen pen and paper, and now write it"
"Yue Qing......" How could Zhang Yan not see that Han Yi had a provocative heart, and hurriedly said softly: "The military order is exempted, your loyalty to the monarch and the heart of serving the country, Your Majesty and the mourning family are clear, within three years, even if it really can't be cleared, it doesn't matter, as long as you can hit the Liukou hard, it's okay to drag it out for a year or two, it's not too much."
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the minister's decision has been decided, and please rest assured that Your Majesty and the Queen Mother have the courage to promise, within three years, there will be a way to eliminate the Liukou, please give the minister a pen and paper," Yue Su said
"That ......" Zhang Yan saw that Yue Su was determined and could not be persuaded, so she was quite moved in her heart, nodded, and said: "Since the Qing family has made a decision, the emperor and the mourning family will no longer say much, the first emperor appointed the secretary as the minister of Tuogu, it can be seen that the wisdom of the pearl, the Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, entrusted to the Qing family, but in the future, the Qing family has the right to arbitrarily come to the person, take pen, ink, paper and inkstone to Yue Qing's family"
The eunuch outside the vacant room, after being instructed, immediately took the table and pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Yue Su was not ambiguous, spread the paper on the table, and wrote it quickly with a pen, and after the military order was written, Yue Su handed it to the eunuch and presented it to Zhang Yan
The content of the military order is very simple, the first part is written to thank the emperor and the emperor for his trust, and the second is to promise that within three years, the Liukou will be eliminated, and if it cannot be completed, he will die and apologize
Zhang Yan read it and was moved, she read it again, but she didn't show it to other officials, and then sealed it up and kept it herself
The matter of Lord Yue's military order, it can be said that within one day, it will spread throughout the officials and nobles in the entire capital, and they all say that Yue Su is unashamed, and they plan to wait for three years later, to see Yue Su's jokes, but ordinary people are convinced of Lord Yue, and they all believe that since Yue Qingtian dares to say that he will be cleared of the Liukou within three years, he will definitely be able to clear it, and in this world, there is nothing that Yue Qingtian can't do
Of course, there are also many people who are worried about Yue Su, and they all say that if Lord Yue promised to try any case within three years, it would definitely not run, but this is a war, how can there be 100% of the matter, the battlefield is changeable, who dares to say that he will definitely be able to win
For a while, Yue Su focused almost everyone's attention, some people wanted to see the excitement, some people were convinced, and some people were worried that of course, the big guys also had to watch, what Lord Yue was going to do now
Yue Su now has the right to arbitrarily control the bandits, that is to say, he can call the shots in everything about the suppression of bandits The next day, the cabinet successively issued several instructions, the first way, is to let the governor of Henan Zhang I continue to go home, and transfer the political envoy Xiong Wencan to serve as the governor of Henan The second way is to reprimand the incompetence of the governor of Wei Guogong and the governor of Nanzhili, let them strictly guard the border, and make up for the third way, and order Wu Sinan, the governor of Xuanda, to strengthen the armament, and the soldiers to strengthen their training. If you just want things and don't do things, and the combat effectiveness of the troops has not been improved, you will have the fourth way of your head, and transfer Wu Rumeng, the governor of Shanxi, to the governor of Shandong, and the former governor of Shandong will be transferred to Shanxi to give Wu Rumeng two more wills, in addition to strengthening the armament, that is, strictly guarding the border, but whenever there are rogues entering, the fifth road must be exterminated, so that the Fujian general Kong Youde will step up the time to supervise the construction of warships, but can not cut corners, in addition, it is necessary to recruit more brave soldiers and strengthen the combat strength of the naval division, not only to be majestic on the water, but also to press, can not lose to the army
These five wills go down, many people can't understand it, if your Lord Yue doesn't allocate troops and horses for reinforcements, can it be useful just to make some personnel changes? Moreover, Henan has the most rogues, just let Xiong Wencan go, how capable is he? Especially the last will, what does it have to do with suppressing bandits and letting Kong Youde build more warships
It doesn't matter if you understand it or not, but Lord Yue has the right to suppress bandits and arbitrariness, and you don't need to understand what he does
Speaking of the liukou, after Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, and Zhang Xianzhong captured Fengyang, they became famous, and then went north along the road and entered Shandong
Here in Shandong, although the year is not very good, but it has not been disturbed by a large number of rogues, that is, occasionally sporadic rogues come in, but they were also beaten away by the government, but this time it is different, the army borrowed the power of capturing Fengyang, all the way to kill, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and now Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng's part, is also not what it used to be, each family has thousands of horses, the combat power is very amazing, the attention of the Shandong defenders, most of them are in the place where they are handed over with Henan, I really didn't expect that the army would be killed from the territory of Nanzhili
Some officers and soldiers can't fight at all, what was killed was the person who turned over on his horse, and the army fought all the way to Dengzhou, and the relationship between the governor of Dengzhou and Mao Wenlong was tacit, because everyone was playing at sea, Mao Wenlong's previous food and salary, most of which were also supplied by Dengzhou to the sea to the governor of Dengzhou to find Mao Wenlong for help, Mao Wenlong did not dare to send troops without authorization, and wrote to Mao Youjian, hoping that he would send troops from Tianjin and go to reinforcements Of course, with the relationship between Mao Youjian and Lord Yue, you can send troops with a hospitality
Mao Youjian led the sailors to aid Dengzhou, Liukou saw the reinforcements coming, knew that it was difficult to capture, and was afraid that Shandong soldiers and horses would come to encircle and annihilate, so he took a detour, and after entering Henan and Henan, the three families divided their troops, and Zhang Xianzhong stayed in Henan to expand his strength
Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng rushed to Dengzhou, Dengzhou is located in Henan, Hubei and Shaanxi junction, known as the three provinces of Xiongguan, is the gateway to the southwest of Henan but the name is useless, Liukou arrived, is an indirect breakthrough, and then directly take Yunyang, capture Yunyang, Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng formed troops, Gao Yingxiang went to Hanzhong, Li Zicheng rushed to Bazhong
Since Sun Chuanting was appointed as the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, he killed the Liukou and killed the Liukou, Xingyang Conference, Li Zi formed the troops to orient the direction, and there were many Liukou who broke into the Sichuan-Shaanxi Liukou this dispersion, Sun Chuanting had some trouble when he was killing, and he had to divide the troops of his generals, some of whom could fight, and some of them could not fight, like Zuo Liangyu and Cao Wenzhao had won many battles, and other generals were often frustrated
Li Zicheng entered Bazhong, met the Red Army friends, Li Dusi, Ke Tianfei, the king of troubled times, the stars of the sky and other rogues, Cao Wenzhao's soldiers and horses were beaten all over the place, saw Li Zicheng, as if seeing a savior, they all attached to Li Zicheng to Cao Wenzhao is hatred, now his own army is strong, but also want to fight with Cao Wenzhao again, so, Li Zicheng led all kinds of rogues, first ambushed the deputy general Liu Chenggong and Ai Wannian who pursued them, among which Liu Chenggong was seriously injured and fled, Ai Wannian died
Cao Wenzhao had a deep friendship with Ai Wannian, and when he heard that Ai Wannian had died in battle, he was furious and led the army to hunt down and kill Li Zicheng
Li Zicheng asked the Red Army Friends, Li Dusi, Ke Tianfei, King of the Troubled Times, Guotianxing and other rogue soldiers to fight with Cao Wenzhao first, and they fought and ran, constantly leading Cao Wenzhao to a place called Hutou Yuan in Yunyang
Cao Wenzhao's soldiers and horses totaled 5,000, don't look at the Liukou nearly 100,000, but he was not afraid, and the Liukou fought for so many years, and constantly regarded the Liukou as a rabble, and several successive victories, the army inevitably had the heart of the enemy His part, nephew Cao Bianjiao led 2,000 troops in front, he led 3,000 palaces, all the way to the sound, but when entering the head of the mountain, the Liukou suddenly killed, disconnected Cao Wenzhao's soldiers and horses, and besieged Cao Bianjiao first, and Cao Bianjiao did not fight for a while, then turned around and fled Cao Bianjiao did not know what the plan was, it was a close pursuit, was led to the area of Diaoling Pass, so that the officers and troops were scattered, and it was difficult to take care of the end of the army, Li Zicheng led the army to storm Cao Wenzhao's headquarters,
Don't look at Cao Wenzhao, there are only 3,000 men and horses, the same is unstoppable, and he has killed countless enemies, but after all, the enemy is outnumbered, and it is slowly difficult to support Cao Wenzhao Seeing that the situation is not good, he decided to evacuate, but at this time, a soldier suddenly pointed at Cao Wenzhao and shouted: "General Cao save me"
Liukou didn't know that it was Cao Wenzhao, as soon as he heard this, he desperately rushed to Cao Wenzhao, Cao Wenzhao danced a big knife, fought desperately, was injured in more than ten places, and still broke through, after escaping to Jijia Mountain into the mountain, Cao Wenzhao was sleepy and lacking, the wound was bleeding more than once, and there were no soldiers around him to fight and Liukou came in a big way, Cao Wenzhao saw that there was no hope of breaking through, looked up to the sky and sighed, and knocked three times in the direction of the capital, and he drew his sword and killed himself
The death of Cao Wenzhao was a major turning point in the battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Liukou, and since then the morale of the Liukou has been greatly boosted, believing that there is no invincible person in the world and the morale of the Ming army has been damaged
As for Cao Bianjiao, he later broke out of the encirclement and cried bitterly when he learned that his uncle was killed
