Seeing Zhang Fu ask Li Yuntian how many troops he needed, Yang Shiqi and the others looked at Li Yuntian one after another, wanting to see how he answered.

"Yu Taishi, Xia Guan is going to take 3,000 Xiaowu troops to the south, and then recruit 20,000 troops from Guangxi." Under the curious gaze of everyone, Li Yuntian bowed slightly to Zhang Fu and said in a deep voice.

"Three thousand?" Zhang Fu's eyes showed a look of surprise, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under the jurisdiction of the Guangxi Metropolitan Division could not be compared with the Beijing army at all, otherwise Wang Tong and Liu Sheng would not have mobilized the Beijing army and the troops of the various divisions along the way to fight the rebellion.

And Li Yuntian only brought 3,000 Xiaowu troops, which was completely unexpected by him, in his opinion, Li Yuntian at least had to take the entire Xiaowu army to Jiaozhi, otherwise how could he confront the rebels?

Yang Shiqi, Qian Yi and others looked at each other, Zhang Fu needed 50,000 soldiers and horses before Mu Sheng's defeat, and Li Yuntian only wanted to use 3,000 Xiaowu troops to put down the rebellion with 20,000 Guangxi soldiers, which was also too unbelievable.

Even Zhou Zheng, who had a close relationship with Li Yuntian, was taken aback by Li Yuntian's answer, and looked at Li Yuntian with a look of concern.

Because Zhou Zheng was busy with official business, he didn't talk to Li Yuntian about Jiaozhi, so he didn't know what Li Yuntian was planning to do, but since Wang Tong, Liu Sheng, and Mu Sheng were all defeated, Li Yuntian only brought 3,000 Xiaowu troops to go, which was indeed a bit of a big deal.

"Uncle Zhen Wu, are you sure you only need such a few troops?" Emperor Xuande was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Li Yuntian with interest.

Since Li Yuntian knew that Jiaozhi was so important, he would not regard the counterinsurgency as a child's play, so Emperor Xuande wanted to know why Li Yuntian had such amazing words.

"Your Majesty, Jiaozhi is located in the mountains and forests, the climate is warm and humid, if you send inland soldiers and horses, it may be difficult to adapt to the local climate, water and soil, so the minister wants to mobilize troops from neighboring Guangxi."

Li Yuntian bowed to Emperor Xuande and replied in an orderly manner, "Moreover, there are many defeated soldiers of our army in Jiaozhi, all of whom are the elite of our army, and the ministers must be able to gain a lot of troops after they are gathered." ”

"Your Majesty, what Uncle Zhen Wubo said is very true, Jiaozhi is warm and humid, there are many mosquitoes, and many soldiers fell ill when the ministers went to quell the rebellion." Zhang Fu couldn't help but nod when he heard this, and said to Emperor Xuande, agreeing with Li Yuntian's statement.

"Taishi, pass on my will, and the military pavilion will mobilize 10,000 pieces of armor to Uncle Zhenwu." Emperor Xuande saw that Zhang Fu agreed with what Li Yuntian said, and his heart was invisibly much lighter, and he said after a deep sigh.

"Obey." Zhang Fu bowed to Emperor Xuande and accepted the holy message.

Although Li Yuntian didn't want military funds, Emperor Xuande couldn't let him set off alone with 3,000 Xiaowu troops, so he decided to give him a batch of newly built weapons and equipment, which could not be raised by the people, so that Li Yuntian could fight the rebels.

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Hearing this, Li Yuntian hurriedly knelt on the ground and thanked Emperor Xuande loudly.

With these 10,000 weapons, he can have 10,000 well-equipped soldiers, which will become a killer weapon against the Jiaozhi rebels.

"Your Majesty, now that the general army of Guangxi is vacant, since Zhen Wubo is going to recruit troops in Guangxi, it is better to let him take over as the general army of Guangxi to facilitate his actions." At this time, Zhang Hao, who had not spoken, stepped forward and played to Emperor Xuande in a deep voice.

The former Guangxi General Soldier, Zhenman General, and Zhengyuan Candidate Gu Xingzu were imprisoned by Emperor Xuande because they failed to save Wang Tong, and the post of Guangxi General Soldier was vacant.

The reason why Emperor Xuande appointed Gu Xingzu as the chief soldier of Guangxi was because Guangxi Liuzhou, Qingyuan "barbarian" Wei Wanhuang and Wei Chaochuan gathered people to rebel in the first year of Hongxi, so he sent Zhenyuan to wait for Gu Xingzu to serve as the chief soldier of Guangxi to go to the crusade and hang the seal of the general of Zhenyuan.

After more than a year of fighting, Gu Xingzu killed and injured many rebellious barbarians, but did not completely quell the rebellion, he imprisoned Guangxi to encircle and suppress the barbarians of the Ming army in a leaderless situation, guide zhì barbarians to take the opportunity to regain their vitality, recapture some of the places captured by the Ming army.

The Guangxi Political Envoy Division, the Inspectorate Division, and the Capital Division have successively reported to the imperial court, requesting that the imperial court send Guangxi troops to encircle and suppress the rebellious barbarians.

Now, since Li Yuntian is going to Jiaozhi to quell the rebellion and has to recruit troops in Guangxi, it is better to take over as the general army of Guangxi to prepare for the war in Jiaozhi.

Zhang Hao not only has a close relationship with Zhou Zheng, but also values Li Yuntian very much, so he naturally wants to give Li Yuntian more convenient conditions for rebellion.

This kind of thing is the most appropriate for him to say it, although he does not avoid relatives and enemies, but Zhou Zheng is Li Yuntian's father-in-law after all, and he can't help Li Yuntian get an official in order to avoid suspicion.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks this method is very good, not only to pacify the barbarians who rebelled in Guangxi, but also to recruit the rebels in Jiaozhi, killing two birds with one stone." Zhang Fu nodded when he heard this, and agreed with Zhang Hao's suggestion.

According to the custom, the chief military officer of the Ming Dynasty has always been served by the nobles above the earl, and although Li Yuntian is young, he is already a martial artist and has the qualifications to serve as the chief military officer.

"Uncle Zhen Wu, I appointed you as General Dingnan, who will be in charge of Guangxi and Jiaozhi military affairs." Emperor Xuande had this intention, and when he saw Zhang Fu and Zhang Hao opening their mouths, he agreed.

General Dingnan is located above the Zhenman general in Guangxi and the deputy general of Jiaozhi, and Li Yuntian will be able to transfer troops in Guangxi and Jiaozhi by hanging this general's seal, and both the Guangxi Metropolitan Division and the Jiaozhi Metropolitan Division must listen to military orders.

"Commandment." Li Yuntian had already expected that he would serve as the general of Dingnan, so he bowed quietly and replied.

"There have been rebellions in Guangxi and Jiaozhi one after another, Zhen Wubo, when you put down the rebellion this time, you will give me the governor of Guangxi and Jiaozhi to see if there are any official dereliction of duty."

Then, Emperor Xuande groaned for a while, his eyes suddenly flashed cold, and he said to Li Yuntian with a cold expression, "Once the evidence of the crime is verified, officials below the fourth rank can be cut first and then played, so as to set an example!" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the people on the scene, including Li Yuntian, were taken aback, and no one thought that Emperor Xuande, who had been generous to people after ascending the throne, would murderously give Li Yuntian the power to kill and seize officials below the fourth grade, let alone let him let Li Yuntian patrol Guangxi and Jiaozhi.

The governor is different from the patrol press, the governor is "patrolling the world, raising the army according to the people", and is in charge of both the people and the army, while the patrol is "patrolling the customs of the world and deposing officials", and has the supervision power of officials, mainly to investigate cases, and has no right to meddle in local affairs.

Li Yuntian has been honored as the general of Dingnan, with the strength of the troops, and now crowned with the authority of the governor, there is no doubt that he will be in charge of the military and political power of Guangxi and Jiaozhi, and he can command the troops and transfer the troops, and the power is like the vassal kings of various places in the Hongwu period, which is the first time in the Ming Dynasty.

Although everyone was very surprised by Emperor Xuande's approach, they really had no reason to refute, because Li Yuntian had been appointed by Emperor Xuande as the governor of Shandong when he put down the rebellion of King Han last year, so he was naturally able to patrol Guangxi and Jiaozhi.

At the beginning of the rebellion of the Han King last year, Emperor Xuande was worried that Jinan City would be broken by the rebels of the Han King, or surrender to the Han King, so he specially appointed Li Yuntian as the governor of Shandong, which enabled Li Yuntian to show his strength, first conquer Qingzhou City and then defend Heiniu Town, become famous in a battle, and become an official and knight.

After the war of the Han Dynasty was pacified, Li Yuntian's duty to patrol Shandong naturally ended, although he did not serve for a long time, but after all, he accumulated qualifications, and it seemed logical to go to the governor again.

At this moment, the only reason that Yang Shiqi, Zhang Fu and others can oppose Emperor Xuande and let Li Yuntian patrol Guangxi and Jiaozhi is that Li Yuntian has too much power in his hands, and it is easy to form a trend that the tail will not fall, and once Li Yuntian has a different intention, the consequences will be unimaginable.

It's a pity that Li Yuntian's "loyalty" to Emperor Xuande is beyond doubt, and Emperor Xuande also trusts him very much, otherwise he would not have given Li Yuntian such a heavy burden.

There is no doubt that whoever raises objections at this time will definitely ask for hardship, and will be regarded as provoking the friendship between Emperor Xuande and Li Yuntian, which will not only be hated by Xuande, but also offended Li Yuntian and Zhou Zheng.

What is particularly important is that a large part of the reason why Emperor Xuande did this was to let Li Yuntian Shun lì quell the rebellion of Jiaozhi.

Jiaozhi is located in a remote area, and the situation is unfavorable to the Ming army, so the integration of government orders and military orders can make Li Yuntian have no worries and concentrate on quelling the rebellion in Jiaozhi.

It can be seen that Emperor Xuande's trust in Li Yuntian has surpassed that of important ministers such as Yang Shiqi and Zhang Fu in the court, and at the same time, he also shows his determination to quell the Jiaozhi rebellion.

"The minister must do his best to exterminate the traitors and live up to the emperor's high expectations!" In the silence, Li Yuntian was the first to come back to his senses, knelt down again and thanked Emperor Xuande, and said loudly and vigorously.

Li Yuntian patrolled Guangxi and Jiaozhi with the authority of the general Dingnan, and in terms of the power in his hands, he had surpassed the governors of later generations, because the governors only had the right to command troops but not the right to transfer troops, and he was an out-and-out feudal official.

"Uncle Zhenwu, if you have any other requirements, bring them together, as long as it is reasonable, I will allow it." Emperor Xuande saw that Li Yuntian was full of confidence, and felt quite relieved in his heart, he just wanted to let those important ministers in the court see that without those important ministers, he could put down the rebellion of Jiaozhi, and then motioned for Li Yuntian to get up, and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, if Jiaozhi is pacified, the minister hopes that the emperor can immigrate to Shibian, migrate the inland people to Jiaozhi, and integrate with the local residents of Jiaozhi, so as to fundamentally eradicate the rebellion."

After getting up, Li Yuntian groaned for a while, bowed down and said to Emperor Xuande, "Your Majesty, the minister heard that Ma Qi, the lieutenant guard of Jiaozhi, had a bad relationship with the officials of the three divisions of Jiaozhi, and he must have sent someone to inspect." ”

Although Li Yuntiangui was the general of Dingnan and the governor of Guangxi and Jiaozhi, and seemed to be able to rule all the officials and people in Guangxi and Jiaozhi, there was one kind of person he was no longer under his jurisdiction, that is, the town guards and eunuchs sent by Emperor Yongle, Emperor Hongxi and Emperor Xuande to various places, they were internal servants and were under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor.

Ma Qi is the Yongle Emperor sent to Jiaozhi to guard the lieutenant official, in Jiaozhi has been nearly 20 years, the original Jiaozhi political envoy and the head of Jiaozhi according to the judge according to the envoy Huang Fu was forced away by Ma Qi.

The inner servant is the royal servant, and Emperor Xuande already has the heart to reuse the inner servant, Li Yuntian naturally will not take the initiative to provoke the inner servant, so he played and asked Emperor Xuande to send someone to investigate.

"Xuan Wang Jin!" Emperor Xuande had a thoughtful look on his face after hearing this, and raised his head and said in a deep voice to Jin Ying, who was standing aside.

Although Li Yuntian's words were very tactful and subtle, Emperor Xuande still heard that Ma Qi and the officials of the three divisions of Jiaozhi did not agree, and he was afraid that there was something else inside, so he decided to check it out.

Hearing the word "Wang Jin", Li Yuntian's heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, since Emperor Xuande sent this person to Jiaozhi, it seems that he has made up his mind to rectify the affairs of Jiaozhi, and Ma Qi can be said to be in a catastrophe this time.
