Chapter 573: It depends on you to be promoted and rich
Jiajing glanced at Xu Qian, saw that he looked relieved, and couldn't help but say, "Xu Qing seemed to be a little nervous before, why is this?" ”
Xu Qian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is thinking about something. ”
Jiajing smiled: "What's the matter?" ”
Xu Qian said: "Weichen is thinking, what does Your Majesty think of the new policy?" ”
"The New Deal?" Jiajing didn't have much of a concept, obviously interested in Zhejiang's new deal, and Jiajing cultivated immortals a lot, he said: "What? Is the New Deal in trouble? ”
Xu Qian said: "That's right, in the past year, Wechen has worked hard, and he does have some appearance in Zhejiang, but after all, the new deal is also a hundred secrets." There are always unsatisfactory places, and now some people are attacking urgently, and Weichen is a little worried. ”
"Worried about what? Worried that I won't be able to withstand these pressures for a while? Jiajing smiled coldly and said confidently: "It's different now, you can rest assured to do your new deal, if I don't nod, no one can reject your new deal." ”
Xu Qian was completely relieved, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise." ”
Jiajing said slowly: "I have two things, I want to discuss with you, one of them, is the matter of sending troops to the Tatars, I think you have heard some rumors, the Tatars deceived me too much, at the beginning of my accession to the throne, they took advantage of the national mourning period, they knocked on the border and attacked, and in the following years, repeatedly violated the frontier, now the southern Japanese have been removed, the country is peaceful, but the Tatars have committed the frontier again this year, he is not going to let me have a good year, so far, I can no longer bear it, the cabinet, I have dredged Guò, Yang Tinghe and Yang Yiqing, He also agreed to send troops to beat the Tatars and strengthen the prestige of our country. ”
Xu Qian thought in his heart that the so-called sending troops was just a strategy for others to secure the outside and the inside. In the name of exaggerating foreign countries, the so-called beating of Tatars and strengthening the prestige of our country are just a pretext for abolishing the New Deal. It's just these words, he can't say it, Jiajing, a guy who has gone crazy with drugs, is still in a state of excitement, there is no need to pour a basin of cold water on Jiajing, he can't help but say: "Your Majesty has already planned to send troops." I just don't know how many troops to send? ”
This is Xu Qian's greatest concern.
Jiajing raised his eyebrows and said, "I originally punished me for a little while, but since the cabinet has loosened up, I plan to follow Emperor Wen and sweep across the desert." Therefore, it has been ordered to dispatch military horses in border towns, gather 150,000 horse infantry, and attack from Datong, Xuanfu, and Liaodong. ”
150,000 ......
Xu Qian gasped, in this way, this is obviously a large-scale war, generally dispatching 150,000 troops and horses, and claiming at least 300,000 or more. At that time, almost all the nobles will be requisitioned, and more importantly, 150,000 horses. At least 500,000 civilians are needed, and to support such a large-scale war, 500,000 civilians need to transport fodder, food, and ordnance. In the entire Ming Dynasty, at least more than 600,000 people will be mobilized. More than 600,000 people don't do anything, and they are specifically responsible for cutting this In the history of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid it is not uncommon, except for Taizu and Emperor Wen, who has such courage.
Of course, there is also an Emperor Yingzong, but Yingzong and his old man got rid of it, and as a result, he made a national shame.
In fact, many of the reasons why there was no war after Yingzong was due to the weakening of imperial power, that is, the world of the Ming Dynasty was no longer ruled by the Son of Heaven, and the increasingly powerful cabinet and scholar class were strongly opposed to the war.
It is rare for the cabinet to relax this time, and Jiajing naturally hopes that the momentum will be as great as possible, and he will not show a little bit of the dignity of the ninety-five, as if he is sorry for the ancestors and ancestors.
Xu Qian said: "Your Majesty has already made an order?" ”
Jiajing nodded: "Yes, Shandong, Gyeonggi, Xuanfu, and Liaodong have already issued orders to conquer and conscript, gather military horses, and when I have a text, I will attack in three ways." ”
Xu Qian sighed in his heart, once the opportunity of the war turns, it is impossible to stop, now all the prefectures and counties, I am afraid that they have begun to recruit people, and the food and salary are also being raised, if at this time, suddenly say that they will not fight, isn't this funny?
Xu Qian has always been neutral about the dispatch of troops, although he hopes that the Han army will go out of the customs and sweep **, but he also understands in his heart that once he goes out, I don't know how many people want their wives to be separated, and I don't know how many people will be requisitioned by the government to deliver food and salary, whether it is victory or defeat, it can't make up for this huge loss, after all, the Ming Dynasty is facing a group of poor ghosts who are so poor that they come to rob you, and you can make a windfall with a vote, but you go to rob the poor ghosts, people don't even have a city, pots and pans are lacking, What's the use of robbing it? used such a large amount of resources of the imperial court, let so many people leave their hometowns, and killed so many people in the war, but the final result was no economic benefit at all, and what was done was just to leave a good name of Yunwen and Yunwu in history.
Jiajing glanced at Xu Qian and said, "What does Aiqing think?" ”
Xu Qian just nodded: "Weichen thinks that the expedition is not a trivial matter, and His Majesty has already made up his mind, so he should be cautious." ”
Jiajing nodded: "I will be cautious, there is one more thing, that is, pro-army." Zhang Cheng, the pro-army Jinyi Guard, died of illness, just one more vacancy, and Jinyi Wei commanded Zhu Chenjian to let Wu Pei replace him, Wu Pei is also an old man in Anlu Wangfu, he is quite respectful, and he is loyal to me, but Lu Song and others in Jinyi Wei recommended your father, and your father is also my right-hand man, I am also weighing at this time, but if you let your father replace you, it will inevitably chill Wu Pei's heart, can you understand what I mean? ”
Xu Qian was excited all of a sudden, the old man's matter is a big deal, now the old man is ranked among the thousands of households, although the authority is in the Jinyi Guard, it is not small, but the thousands of households cross the matter, after all, it is very important, the old man is old, if this time he is not promoted one step higher, if he continues to wait for the person in front of him to die, I don't know when it will be, it can be said that this is a God-given opportunity, as long as there is an opportunity, and the qualifications of the servant are obtained, even if he does not serve in the Jinyi Guard in the future, he will be transferred to other pro-military guards, and he will at least be a commander at that time, to the worst, can also be mixed with the same knowledge.
Officialdom is like this, and the pro-army will inevitably be stained with the rules of officialdom, just like Xu Qian's Hanlin bachelor, if you don't take this step and become a governor, then you have to obediently continue to wait for the opportunity, but the opportunity is this thing, who knows when you will come, you know that you have a good future in the future, you can not be promoted, you don't jump out of this step, it will always be empty talk.
However, Jiajing's meaning is also very clear, originally Jiajing belonged to the old man, and the problem was Zhu Chen, who recommended Wu Pei. Now that they have already recommended it, if Jiajing categorically vetoes it, it will be tantamount to not giving Wu Pei face at all.
And as the Son of Heaven, he shouldn't have given anyone face, but the problem arose again, that is, Wu Pei's identity, Wu Pei is the old man of Anlu Wangfu after all, if Jiajing directly rejects Wu Pei, and directly lets Xu Chang go to the top, it can't help but make people chill. So Jiajing can't be this bad guy, because once he does, many old people in the Anlu Mansion can't help but think that His Majesty now has a new love and forgets the old people, and most of this group of people are in the center of the pro-army, once they have this thought, it will be very unfavorable to the Son of Heaven.
After all, in the process of tug-of-war between the Son of Heaven and the cabinet, the role of the pro-army is not trivial, as the Son of Heaven, you can chill the hearts of others, but you must not chill the hearts of your own henchmen.
Reason! Jiajing needs a reason, a reason that seems fair, so that Wu Pei will retreat, and when the time comes, it will not be that Jiajing can't stand Wu Pei, but because of many reasons, the Son of Heaven has to stand up to you.
When Jiajing and Xu Qian talked about this matter, they naturally asked Xu Qian to find a reason, anyway, this is your father's business, you can do it yourself.
Xu Qian couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, in fact, Weichen thinks that it is more than enough for his father to take office, as for Wu Qianhu, of course, it is not necessary, but His Majesty's election of officials is to select talents, and the talents of his father are ten times better than Wu Qianhu." ”
This is Lao Wang's boasting of selling melons, but now is indeed not the time to twist, what is polite, of course, how much can be bragged.
Jiajing glanced at him and said with a smile: "Really? But what you said doesn't count, you have to be Jinyiwei, and you have to have the final say in the pro-army, if your father is really talented, why is only Lu Song recommending? ”
This is equivalent to kicking the ball to Xu Qian's feet again, which means, is there any talent, you make some movement, what is the use of the two of us getting together and saying?
Xu Qian understood what Jiajing meant, and said, "Yes, yes, Weichen understands." ”
Jiajing said lazily: "It's good if you can understand, I'm afraid you don't understand?" What time is it, it's time for me to take the immortal medicine, if you are fine, you might as well go to the Great Gao Xuan Hall with me and listen to Master Zhang Tian'......"
"Ahh............h That one...... That ......"
Seeing Xu Qian's earth-colored face, Jiajing was not angry, but smiled: "It is rumored that this is the case, they all say that you are afraid of the inside, and you can't imagine that you are afraid to this point, that's it, I don't embarrass you, I will order you to go to the Great Gao Xuandian another day, you should learn from me, I have three thousand beauties in the harem, if you are afraid of the inside, can you still live this day?" ”
Xu Qian wanted to laugh in his heart, he couldn't think of being afraid, and he could also use it as an excuse, so it was okay to save the province to accompany you to cultivate immortals, so he pretended to be ashamed and said: "Weichen is ashamed." ”
