: The second update of Bu Ri. If you have time, you should have it late

"High! It's really high".

Yang Guang gave a thumbs up and praised Xu Hongru, which made Xu Hongru and his cronies very proud.

The White Lotus Sect rebelled, and in just over a month, it occupied most of Jiangxi, which immediately shook the Ming court.

Jiangxi Governor Hong Zhanzu sent 15 urgent documents of 800 li in three days, and the table of Wang Qia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was immediately piled up.

Huang Liji, the first assistant of the cabinet, and others have been using excuses to shirk and prevent Wang Qia from luring Deng Haonan's Liaodong Army into the customs. Now Wang Qia really can't sit still, and the king of Northwest Chuang and King Liang have been dragging Yang He's army of bandits, so that they can't send troops south to suppress the White Lotus Sect in Jiangxi.

Wang Qia asked to send the border army south to quell the rebellion, and after Huang Liji and others discussed, they thought that Wang Qia could not be forced to be cornered, so they agreed that the border army of the nine towns of the Great Wall would enter the pass to quell the rebellion, but Huang Liji and others never let go of the Liaodong army's entry into the pass.

Wang Qia originally wanted to report directly to the emperor, and the emperor ordered the Liaodong army to enter the pass to quell the rebellion. However, Huang Liji and the other four, the cabinet ministers opposed, and Deng Haonan did not fight for it, so Wang Qia did not want to offend the other four cabinet ministers for this, so he had to temporarily obey Huang Liji's construction, and first transferred troops from the nine towns of the Great Wall to the south to quell the rebellion.

Mingzhi Liaodong, Jizhou, Xuanfu, Datong, Yulin, Ningxia, Gansu, Taiyuan and Guyuan Town. Each town has jurisdiction over a number of guards, stations, passes, passes, stops, camps, forts, etc. Among them: Liaodong Town, 5 kilometers of the Great Wall blade under its jurisdiction, set up Weiwan, and the institute. Guan 2, the battalion fort fierce garrison feather 8 people; Jizhou Town, the jurisdiction of the Great Wall of the Great Wall. Set up a pass, a knife, a battalion, a castle, and a garrison of Xuli people; Xuanfu Town. The Great Wall of the jurisdiction is set up to defend the heart of a mouth), the place, the fortress is inferior, the garrison is strong, and the strongman is out; Datong Town, the jurisdiction of the Great Wall Mi kilometers set up 8 guards, 7, 3 garrisons of the fort to move the field. Along the Great Wall, there are passes, villages, camps, forts, etc., and there are more than one of them. In peacetime, the garrison strength was more than 10,000, and in the war period at the end of the Ming Dynasty, although the number of troops was sometimes large and sometimes small, it generally depended on the tight schedule of the war. By the year of the Apocalypse, there were as many as 40,000 people.

It can be said that half of the two million standing troops of the Ming Dynasty were concentrated in the nine towns of the Great Wall. Once the war is fought together, the nine towns of the Great Wall will eat more than half of the silver in the Ming treasury, which is a strict iron chain that drags down the Ming Dynasty. The official document of the Ministry of War reached the nine towns of the Great Wall, and each town will draw one-tenth of its troops. In this way, a total of more than 90,000 people were drawn from the nine towns. Wang Qia pulled out 60,000 of the forbidden army in Beijing. Raise 150,000 troops. At the same time, 50,000 horses were transferred from Nanzhili, Guangdong, and Lianghu provinces to gather 200,000 troops. The household department drew 300,000 taels of military salaries as military expenses for going south to quell the rebels. This amount of silver was only enough for the counterinsurgency army for about twenty days, and Wang Qia knew that it was not enough. However, the household department could not pull out more military salaries.

The governors and political envoys of Nanzhili, Guangdong, Lianghu and other places did not agree to let the military department make them responsible for sending troops, but now the 300,000 taels of silver from the household department are only for the border army, and the military expenses of the local town army are raised by the provincial political envoys themselves, which makes these local officials scold non-stop.

No way. Wang Qia asked Huang Liji to solve the problem, and Huang Liji had no choice but to agree to the local officials who sent troops from all over the country first. The summer tax of the eighth year of the Apocalypse was used to fill the hole in military spending.

Therefore, the magistrates of the provinces finally agreed to send troops for the sake of the money. Because they knew that after the army was pulled, in addition to the promotion fee, the remaining silver basically fell into the pockets of the officials, because the Ming army had an unwritten unspoken rule, that is, acquiescing in the plundering of the local people.

As long as the war breaks out, and the soldiers rely on eating the local people, then this year's summer tax can be shorted by a large amount, and the rest will fall into the pockets of provincial officials.

For the sake of the silver's face, Wang Qia reluctantly organized this improvised army of 200,000.

On the issue of candidates, Wang Qia is very entangled. He wanted to enable the people of the Liaodong Governor's Mansion. Because they are all battlefield veterans and have experienced the baptism of the Liaoshen War. But helplessly, Huang Liji and others resolutely objected, and Wang Qia was difficult to defeat the four of them, so he had to give up.

Therefore, Wang Qia asked Yang He, the governor of the three sides, to ask the people who transferred the soldiers to lead the governor of Liangjiang.

Yang He's generals were all attacking Wang Gao Yingxiang and Wang Daliang of Liang, and they couldn't draw the generals to Wang Qia. At this time, Yang He remembered his son, so he wrote a letter to Wang Qia and asked his son to lead the troops to battle.

Yang He's son is Yang Sichang, who has served as a professor in Hangzhou, a doctor in Nanjing Guozijian, and a member of Hebu Langzhong. The third year of the Apocalypse "led to the exclusion of the eunuchs." He resigned and returned to the country after saying that he was sick. In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, he became the deputy envoy of Henan. Plus right participation in politics. Later, he was promoted to the right of the imperial history of the capital. Governor Yongping and Shanhaiguan are famous for knowing the soldiers. Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of western Liaoning, praised him for his meritorious work in reorganizing defense, building two wings of Shanhaiguan City, and resisting the invasion of Houjin.

There is a way to be virtuous and not avoid relatives, Yang He recommended his son, which is nothing more than going to the position of the governor of Liangjiang. At present, Yang He himself is the governor of the three sides, holding 300,000 Ming troops. If his son Yang Sichang can take over the governor of Liangjiang, then the 200,000 army will be in hand, and the father and son of the Yang family will control a quarter of the elite army of the Ming Dynasty and hold military and political power. Then it will be an incomparable honor for the Yang family.

There are no candidates. originally wanted to ask Yuan Chonghuan to lead the troops, but so far, the lion and the love of the lion have always been a hurdle in Wang Qia's heart, and he is worried about it. Therefore, Yuan Chonghuan was allowed to be idle at home, and he was not needed.

The appointment of the governor of Liangjiang was made, and Yang Sichang was the deputy, and the governor of Jiangxi suppressed the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect. The deputy general was chosen by Yang Sichang himself, and Yang He was related to his son, so Shaanxi Senator Hong Chengchou was transferred to Yang Sichang for use. At the same time, Wang Qia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, appointed Zuo Liangyu as his deputy general. Assist Yang Sichang.

This Zuo Liangyu is Wang Qia's deputy general stationed in Ningyuan to monitor Yuan Chonghuan. Unexpectedly, Yuan Chonghuan did a great job of excluding dissidents, in the Ningyuan mutiny. Zuo Liangyu was also framed in it, and Wang Qia was difficult to ride a tiger, so he had to dismiss Zuo Liangyu's official. However, Zuo Liangyu is an all-round general, knows soldiers and is good at fighting, and he will assist Yang Sichang, and Wang Qia is also relieved.

However, the little money raised by Wang Qia was also lost.

On February 3 of the year of A.D., after the army of the Nine Towns received the order to open up, they successively assembled in the capital. When Yang Sichang, Hong Chengchou and Zuo Liangyu gathered in the capital to take office, a series of mutinies occurred.

On February 1, when the Jizhen border army received an order to march into Beijing, the White Lotus Sect hidden in the Jizhen army responded to Xu Hongru's call and took the opportunity to drummer. It's the New Year. The military salaries owed by the imperial court were deducted from the officials, and when they reached the soldiers below, there was not much left.

The White Lotus Sect in the Jimen garrison took the opportunity to provoke. The Ming army of Jizhen made noise due to hunger. Incinerate and loot gunpowder. Mutiny followed.

After Wang Qia received the report, he immediately burst into a rage, scolding these soldiers for not mutiny sooner or later, but waited until this juncture to mutiny.

It cannot be suppressed, only appeased.

Wang Qia had no choice but to raise money everywhere. After many measures, Wang Qia got some silver to temporarily appease the mutinous soldiers, and the mutinous soldiers were immediately disbanded. Seven days. The governor of Suncheon asked to pay the arrears for three months in order to reassure the army. Wang Qia agreed. After consulting with the household department. The next division is speedy.

Because Jizhou is next to Liaodong Town, the Liaodong Governor's Office is uneasy, because Jizhou is the link between the Liaodong Army and Beijing, and if something goes wrong, it will not be a trivial matter.

Di Haonan asked about Jizhou, and Wang Qia naturally wanted to go into the water, so he appointed Zhao Shujiao, the general of the Liaodong Governor's Office, as the chief military officer. The town guards Yongping and Zhangzhou, and has jurisdiction over Masong, Dashi, and Caoqiang Eight Roads, and stabilizes the overall situation of Jizhou.

The house leak happened to rain overnight!

Wang Qia finally put down the Jizhou mutiny, and the three towns of Datong Town, Guyuan Town and Taiyuan Town mutinied at the same time, among which Datong Town and Taiyuan Town were close to the jurisdiction of Yang He, the governor of the three sides, Yang He quickly sent troops to suppress them. After replenishing the towns of Datong and Taiyuan with some food, the mutinous soldiers were quickly disbanded. At the same time, Yang He is scheming. Know that the agitator must have done it on purpose.

At first, Yang He thought that Deng Haonan's people deliberately instigated the mutiny to pave the way for Na Haonan's army to enter the customs. Later, after Yang He's investigation, he arrested a large number of agitators, and after brutal interrogation, someone finally confessed that they were the White Lotus Sect's meticulous work that broke into the military many years ago. And their purpose and disposition were to prevent the imperial army from going south to fight against the White Lotus Sect army.

With Yang He's IQ, of course he understood the truth, and secretly sighed that Xu Hongru, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, was calculating, and at the same time sent a letter to his son Yang Sichang, asking him to deal with it carefully.

The most powerful was the Guyuan mutiny. The mutiny that broke out in Guyuan (now Guyuan, Ningxia) was also due to the lack of pay for the border soldiers, and at the same time, there were many people who rebelled near Guyuan Town, which affected the attitude of the soldiers in Guyuan Town. So, at the instigation of the White Lotus Sect. The 30,000 soldiers of Guyuan Town took advantage of the outbreak of the peasant rebellion and rebelled together. Looting the Guwon State Treasury. Governor Hu Tingyan and Yanjie Governor Yue Harmony pushed each other, and more mutinous soldiers joined the peasant rebellion, so that the troops of King Gao Yingxiang and King Liang of Liang were joined by the regular army of the imperial court, and their strength skyrocketed, and the pressure on Yang He to suppress bandits increased dramatically.

On 8 February, the Guyuan rebel soldiers captured Jingyang and Fuping, and Yang He's general Li Ying committed suicide in defeat. Li Ying's 30,000 Ming troops were killed by Gao Yingxiang's main force of 80,000 soldiers and horses, and most of them surrendered to the rebels. In this way, the rebel Gao Yingxiang's department was joined by as many as 50,000 regular troops of the Ming army, which made the name of King Chuang unprecedentedly high, and his strength was far greater than that of King Liang's department. became a big trouble for the Ming Empire.

Yang He broke Li Ying, lost tens of thousands of elites, and was so angry that he vomited blood and fell into a coma. The governors of the three sides passed out, and the encirclement of the Ming army was suddenly loosened, and the encirclement of the Ming army, which had been encircled by the rebels for a year, was declared a failure. Gao Yingxiang's subordinates and Wang Daliang's subordinates took the opportunity to jump out of the encirclement and attack the Ming army's rear supply base everywhere.

The strength of Guyuan Town on the Great Wall was empty, and the Ming army, which had originally rushed to Beijing, was quickly transferred back by Yang He to replenish the troops. At the same time, Yang He also asked Wang Qia for soldiers.

When Wang Qia learned about it, he was also half angry. Hurriedly approached Huang Liji and others to discuss countermeasures.

"Can't put it off any longer".

Wang Qia said straight to the point: "I must invite the Liaodong Army to enter the customs to quell the rebellion!" ”

"This. Let's look into it again."

Huang Liji immediately started Tai Chi again.

"Still studying a fart!" Wang Qia said angrily: "In the past few days, there have been mutinies in four of the nine towns of the Great Wall. There are only about 100 old men in Guyuan Town now, and more than 30,000 other soldiers have defected to the bandits, haven't you studied enough? .

Lai Zongdao said: "This is really an evil sect:... The lower capital was begged, and the ten soldiers did not mutiny, but the imperial court was preparing to go south to quell the rebellion, and the Gangming Yichi suddenly mutinied, or together! ”

Li Guo said: "It's obviously premeditated! Maybe Di Haonan wanted to enter the customs but didn't have an excuse, deliberately"

"Fuck you!" Wang Qia was furious, pointed at Li Guo and scolded: "Yang He, the governor of the three sides, has already folded up, and it is clearly written on it, it is all a ghost planted by the White Lotus Sect, what does it have to do with the Duke of Liao?" ”

"How can you curse?"

"You're the one who scolds!" Wang Qia went out and said angrily: "These people were all inserted by Wei Zhongxian back then, how did you review the Zhaoding disobedience case when it was the beginning?" Now these remnants have ruined the affairs of the imperial court. You don't give me one, explain be careful that I impeach you! ”

"You" Li Guo pointed at Wang Qia. But he couldn't say anything to refute it. No way. At the beginning, in order to reduce the number of eunuch members. The people below are all turning a blind eye when trying the case. Try to make fewer enemies and offend people less. Okay now, these damn guys are making a fuss now, and Li Guo can't afford to take this responsibility.

Wang Qia pointed at Li Guo and scolded, which actually meant Sang scolding. Even Huang Liji and others scolded it. It's just that I didn't say it directly. Saved face for them.

Huang Liji stopped Li Guo from speaking, and said to Wang Qia: "Lord Wang, this matter has been done. Now is not the time to blame each other, we should all be in the same boat! ”

Then Huang Liji beat Li Guo, Li Guo could only accept it aggrievedly, and he deserved to talk more. This Wang Qia just found a punching bag to vent, and he crashed into it.

Wang Qia saw that Huang Liji had fallen to Li Guo and knew that Huang Liji was showing favor to him, so he calmed down his anger in the past few days.

"It's a big mess now!" Wang Qia said: "It's not that I have to let the Liaodong Army enter the customs, but that things are forced to this point!" At present, Yang He is sick there, and the chaotic people in Shaanxi and Gansu can no longer be controlled, Yang He's attack failed, and the Wusu soldiers surrendered to the thief. Now Yang He can only hold on to the rebels. But they can't eat each other. And after the mutiny in Guyuan Town, the 300-mile Great Wall was unguarded, do you know that the chaos is big! ”

After listening to Wang Qia's explanation, Huang Liji and the others finally changed color. After the enlargement, Gao Yingxiang and Wang Daliang's troops had already occupied many places in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, and if Yang He could not control the situation, then the rebels would cross Shanxi and directly hit the capital.

I didn't care about these rioters before, thinking that they couldn't afford to make a big storm, but now things are getting bigger. Naturally, they're going to be scared!

"What a big fuss!" Lai Zongdao said: "The Million White Lotus Sect in the South still doesn't know how to suppress it!" The rebels in the north are at the doorstep, if Yang He can't stand it, the capital will be in danger! ”

Huang Liji frowned and asked Wang Qia.

"What is the best plan for Lord Wang?"

Wang Qia pursed his lips and said, "What good plan do I have?" The best policy has been said a long time ago! ”

"You know, if we allow the Liaodong Army to enter the customs, how can we send them away in the future!"

"It's easy to please God, but it's hard to send God!"

"Of course I do!" Wang Qia said unhappily: "Your worries are all in the future, you have to eat bite by bite, step by step." I won't talk about the military. Just talk about your business. The sooner this rebel army is destroyed, the less you toil. After the rebels are pacified, you have to clean up all the mess left behind, and if you drag it now, the mess will be even worse in the future! When it's rotten and can't be cleaned up, I don't think you can drag it out! ”

Wang Qia's words are very straightforward, but they make a lot of sense.

Huang Liji and the others glanced at each other, and they all felt the strictness of the matter. At the beginning, he dragged the woman in the Liaodong war, but as a result, the woman became stronger and stronger, and almost broke the Shanhai Pass and entered Beijing. If it weren't for Deng Haonan to turn the tide, they really didn't know how to end. Now that they have started to drag it again, they have been so much by Wang Qia, and they have learned from the past, and they are suddenly afraid.

"And what about the 200,000 troops you have in your hands now?" Huang Liji asked, "Didn't you go south to exterminate the White Lotus Sect?" ”

Wang Qia smiled bitterly: "How dare I let them go south!" At the moment, Yang He doesn't know what the situation is, Guyuan's troops are empty, and he needs to fill in the troops that have been withdrawn. After all, the White Lotus Sect in the south is far away from the capital, so you have to go ahead of you to fight the fire, right? ”

Huang Liji asked, "Then you mean that Yang Sichang is not going south?" ”

Wang Qia nodded and replied, "It's important to defend Beijing!" I can only take care of my head now! ”

Lai Zongdao said worriedly: "What about the Southern White Lotus Sect?" They're even more powerful than the rebels in the Northwest! ”

Damn it, old fox! Now that I know that people are powerful, I never mentioned the word "powerful" before.

Wang Qia scolded Lai Zongdao fiercely in his heart, and said angrily: "I thought you didn't understand!" Lai Zongdao smiled awkwardly and immediately remained silent.

Several people looked at Huang Liji, and Huang Liji finally sighed: "That's it!" Do what Lord Wang wants! Now we can only look at the present! As for how to deal with the aftermath, let's wait until Deng Haonan is done with the battle! ”

Li Guo sighed: "It is estimated that it is more difficult to deal with the aftermath than to fight!" ”

Wang Qia suddenly glared at Li Guo, and Li Guo hurriedly kept silent. At the same time, he twisted his head to the side. (To be continued), Lu. There are more chapters, and it is supported as H
