Although Huang Jin was anxious, it was just that on this occasion, there was no eunuch to speak, and at this moment, he saw a little eunuch looking at the door, as if he had something to report, but he didn't dare to come in. He hurriedly walked out of the hall and asked, "What is the matter?" ”

The little eunuch said: "Back to the old man Huang, there is Yang Dasima who went to this book overnight, and the small one doesn't dare to go in to disturb the holy driver, but he is afraid of delaying the military situation, whether this chapter is sent or not, the little one really can't make up his mind." ”

Huang Jin was overjoyed and said, "Where is this chapter?" Bring it to me. ”

This Yang Da Sima refers to Yang Bo, the secretary of the Ministry of War. He is a native of Puzhou, Shanxi Province, and belongs to the Jin Shang lineage. The literati of the Ming Dynasty like to talk about military affairs, this duke can be called a military wizard in the literati circle, Jiajing eight years in the jinshi, did the military arsenal chief, the deputy envoy, the political participation, the governor of Gansu, the governor of Jiliao. He has been in the side court for a long time, and has fought countless battles with Altan Khan and Kuten Khan, and has never fallen behind, which can be called a golden beam of the sea in the Ming Dynasty.

Yang Bo originally returned to his hometown because of his father's funeral, but because of the urgency of border affairs, he did not wait for three years (actually 27 months) to complete his filial piety, and specially recruited back to the director of Beijing. His views on military affairs are rarely second thought in today's Ming Dynasty.

And for Huang Jin, more importantly, this Yang Dasima is a Jin businessman! And the Zheng Guoqi who was slaughtered by Yan Hong at the beginning, his mother is also a young lady of the Jin merchant Gu family, and they are related to each other.

Yan Hong killed Yang Bo's juniors, and Yang Bo wouldn't have a good opinion of him in the future, could this twist and turn be to save Yan Hong? And in terms of military warfare, Yang Bo is a well-deserved expert, his words. There must be a decisive effect. There is this piece of music with him. The matter of these cabinet elders sending troops. Most likely it will run aground!

Huang Jinxi diligently returned to the palace with the fold, and said to Jiajing: "Your Majesty, Yang Sima of the Military Department has been on the book overnight, and the old slave is afraid of delaying the military situation, so he does not dare to delay, so he is specially presented to His Majesty." ”

Jiajing nodded and said, "Read, I want to hear what Yang Qing's opinion is?" ”

When Huang Jin heard this, he hurriedly unfolded the recital, and read it sentence by sentence through the light. It's just that the more I think about it, the more sweat on my forehead, the more ugly my face becomes. And when Xu Jie first heard Yang Sima's name, his expression also changed slightly. But as soon as he heard the content of the recital, his face quickly turned calm, and he listened quietly.

It turned out that Yang Bo wrote this fold very clearly. He first analyzed the strategy of the Mongols, believing that this was a typical strategic conspiracy to invade the Ming Dynasty by colluding with each other inside and outside. According to his analysis, if the Jinan riot succeeded, the White Lotus Sect would seize the arsenal. Surrounded by the victims, the number of rebels at this time is probably not less than 200,000. Coupled with the Tartar iron cavalry, it will inevitably make everyone in Shandong cities dangerous and difficult to preserve. If it really came to this situation, the imperial court had to send a large number of border troops to suppress the chaos, and Kuten Khan took the opportunity to invade south at this time. Even Altan Khan would intervene to pick up the bargain.

It's just that now the situation has changed, and the Mongols don't know how to be flexible, and they still adhere to this strategy, which in Yang Bo's view, is self-defeating. You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, communication was inconvenient, and things like carrier pigeons were okay for short distances, but they were unreliable for long-distance transmission of information. Most of Kuteng Khan did not know that the situation in Shandong Province had changed, so he would dispatch according to the established policy, which was a flaw.

But at this time, Jinan has become an important node. Because Jinan is still in the hands of officers and soldiers, it is possible to contain the Mongol conspiracy. Once Jinan is lost, the White Lotus Sect and the Mongols can still coerce a large number of people into an army in Jinan. When the time comes, the water transportation will be cut off, or even the Yellow River will be opened and floods will be created, and the situation will be difficult to manage.

At the same time, Yang Bo analyzed the current defense situation in the north. In order to guard against the north, Jiliao's troops are indeed difficult to move at will, but if some men and horses are transferred from the Beijing division to fill the Jiliao defense line, and then an elite force from Jiliao comes out to Shandong, it will not have much impact on the safety of the entire northern front. The number of troops does not need to be too large, but the action must be fast, because it is uncertain how long Jinan can support it.

After the last, Yang Bo asked for help, and was willing to raise thousands of cavalry from the Beijing Division to Jiliao and the governor of the army. If you can't win a big victory over Kuten Khan, you are willing to ask for an axe. At the same time, he also asked the imperial court for an order, and after arriving in Jiliao, he sent an elite border army to Shandong to relieve the siege.

Yang Bo is worthy of being one of the three major masterminds of the current dynasty, and his analysis of Kuteng Khan and Emperor Jiajing is exactly right. He calculated that although Wang Chen's blatant resistance was for the sake of the overall situation, this kind of inflexible stubbornness would inevitably suffer under the mind of Emperor Jiajing and the secret arrow of Yan Song. And what he can do is to use a brilliant victory to save the fate of this old loyal minister. As for Jinan, he must not be saved, and Jiliao must not be guarded, in this world, only he can balance the two in place.

Jiajing listened to Yang Bo's words, nodded and said, "Yang Qing is also the dry city of the real country." Huang accompanied the purpose, and Yang Qing played it. Lu Qing, you sent Jinyiwei to Changping, and sent a decree to dismiss Wang Chen, escort him back to Beijing, and send him to prison for investigation! ”

Xu Jie hurriedly said: "Long live, Wang Chen's disrespect for the decree, although his crime is big, but he has been at the border for a long time, and he is quite familiar with military affairs. Yang Sima went north this time, and he still needed one or two staff officers on his side to serve the dogs and horses. It is better to wait for the great victory in the north and then ask him about his guilt. ”

Emperor Jiajing said: "This old man is covered with lard and confused, what is the use of asking him?" In this way, Lu Qing sent Jinyi Wei to Changping with Yang Qing, and after the handover was clear, Wang Chen would be arrested. ”

Xu Jie heard that Wang Chen was still lying down after all, and he was a little helpless in his heart, but he didn't dare to argue anymore. From this point of view, in front of the Son of Heaven, the Yan family is still quite favored, especially Yan Hong, who is a new participant, has simply become an upstart in the court. And after leaving the Yongshou Palace, Yan Song's cold gaze was more like a direct signal. Yan and Xu's two families, if they don't get it, they are going to war.

When I returned to my home in Taishan Hutong, I saw that Zhang Juzheng was already waiting. Xu Jie smiled slightly, and told this Gaozu about the situation in the Yongshou Palace today. After finishing speaking, Xu Jie sighed: "Originally, Jinan should save or not, the imperial court has its own decision. is the old man, and he also has a back hand to send troops to Shandong. It's just that for the sake of Yan Hong, the Heavenly Family did not hesitate to mobilize the people, and even sent Wang Duxian to prison. From this point of view, the Yan family's strength is still strong, but it will take time for us to wait for Taoguang's obscure strategy. Hey, today in the Yongshou Palace, the old man didn't dare to argue with Yan Song about right and wrong, but he was sorry for Wang Minying. ”

Zhang Juzheng said: "The teacher is a good teacher. In the matter of Jinan, since the Son of Heaven belongs to Yan Hong, the teacher does not have to go against the dragon scales. Moreover, the siege of Jinan was also related to the safety of the country and the DPRK, and it was not a mistake to send troops to rescue it. It's just that in today's deliberations, Yan Song's party has the upper hand, and in his humble opinion, there is still a way to save three points. ”

Xu Jiedao: "Uncle, if you have any high opinions, let's talk quickly." ”

Zhang Juzheng said: "Teacher, today's affairs, the advance and retreat of the court, are all in the Son of Heaven." The reason why the Son of Heaven wants to relieve the south is largely due to the White Lotus Treasure. The inner treasury is useless, and the Son of Heaven is bent on wanting the White Lotus Treasure to enter the inner treasury smoothly. The trouble lies in the fact that the deputy envoy Hai Rui, who is arrogant and upright, will obstruct it, and Hai Rui's name of strong advice has been obvious before he went to Jinan this time. As long as the teacher writes, first transfer Hai Rui back to Beijing, and leave Yan Hong to deal with Jinan affairs, the Son of Heaven will definitely understand that the teacher is thinking about him. ”

Xu Jie nodded and said, "Uncle's brilliant plan." It's just that now Taicang is empty, but Yan Hong transferred the gold and silver that should have been into the treasury to the inner treasury of the Son of Heaven, and it is not the blessing of the community to please the supreme one. ”

Xu Jie is not the kind of stupid pig with a tendon in his head, what kind of gentleman values righteousness, villains value profit and other theoretical issues, which are not what he has to consider at all. However, under the poverty of the country, a large amount of unexpected treasures that were easy to obtain had to be transferred to the inner treasury of the Son of Heaven, which really made this old minister who was worried about the country and the people a little unwilling.

Zhang Juzheng said: "Teacher, the teacher once taught Juzheng, the important thing is to retain the promising body, do it at the time, and follow the trend." For the Kuangzheng court, he had to invite the favor of the heavenly family, and in order to invite the favor of the heavenly family, he had to temporarily succumb to the subsection. This golden and jade good words are remembered by Ju Zheng and never forgotten. ”

Xu Jiedao: "Uncle is reasonable. Today's Yongshou Palace discussion, although I did not clash with Yan Song head-on, but looking at his face, I did not advocate the rescue of Jinan, which seems to be a mustard. ”

Zhang Juzheng said: "In Juzheng's opinion, there is no need to worry about this matter. As long as the Heavenly Family has no ill feelings towards the teacher, he will not dare to act rashly if he wants Yan Fu. Furthermore, if Yan Ge insisted on making a move, with his mentor's strength at this time, he might not be afraid of him. ”

Xu Jie said: "Having said that, this is not the time for a decisive battle with the Yan Mansion. Uncle, that Yan Hong is your protégé, what do you think of him? ”

Zhang Juzheng said: "This person is in the name of a gentleman, but in fact, he acts quite well, and he is also eccentric, eclectic, accustomed to surprise soldiers, and speaks in vain. ”

Xu Jie nodded and said: "Looking at the murder case of Andingmen, Shaoxing robbed Xu Hai, and opened the sea to ban all kinds of affairs, it is indeed very human." In this Shandong rebellion, he was able to seek stability in the chaos and thwart the conspiracy of the White Lotus Sect. The examination of his talents and qualifications is really one of the few geeks in the country. It's just that such a person is the third generation of the Yan Mansion, and he is afraid that the Yan thief will be aggravated. ”

Zhang Juzheng said: "Evil is invincible, but the teacher doesn't have to worry about it." However, in Juzheng's view, Yan Honggu is Yan Weizhong's eldest grandson, but the backer behind him is Lu Bing. ”

Xu Jiedao: "Exactly." Lu Yan and Yan are two parties, but Yan Hong has made a bridge in it, which is extremely difficult to solve. This time, I instructed Li Bin of Dongchang to investigate Lu Bing's violation of the law, and it was rumored that Lu Bing knew everything about it. What does the unknown uncle think? ”

Zhang Juzheng said: "In Juzheng's opinion, the teacher made Li Bin check Lu Bing, which was originally an idle move to knock the mountain and shock the tiger. Now that Yan Lu is colluding very tightly, and he has a good foundation in front of the heavenly family, so the strong man broke his wrist and gave up his car to protect the handsome, but he had to do it. ”

Xu Jie sighed: "In this way, I have to wronged Li." ”

In the city of Jinan, the governor of the yamen, Yan Hong did not wear iron armor anymore, but wore regular clothes. The Purple and Green Twins continued to defend behind them with swords. The soldiers and servants who were talking about the messengers reported the news one by one, but it made people more and more desperate.

"Report! The enemy attacked the east gate and was beaten down by our army, but the gunpowder and arrows at the east gate were completely exhausted! Please transfer some more to the Chinese army no matter what! ”

"There are no more gunpowder arrows in the Chinese army! Report to General Chen, tell everyone to smash with stones, fight with white knives, and be sure to block the thieves! Liu Baihu, you take half of Guo Yuan's team to reinforce! (To be continued......)
