Chapter Seventy-Three: The Dilemma

It had been a few days since the imperial court got the news, and after the veteran Jingyuan Marquis Wang Ji heard about this, he rushed to the Forbidden City and asked for orders to quell the Sijia rebellion.

However, Yu Qian, the head of the cabinet, thought that the stubborn disease of homesickness was difficult to eradicate in a short period of time, and there was a large army crusade to the east, so it was necessary to avoid fighting on two fronts as much as possible at this time.

Therefore, it was suggested that a young general should be sent to assist the Duke of Qianguo to defend Yunnan, and wait until the Eastern Expeditionary Army conquered Dongying, and then use all his strength to annihilate the Sijia in one fell swoop.

"Short-sighted! Yu Qian, as the head of the cabinet, you are so short-sighted, do you have to wait until the Sijia enters Yunnan Mansion to understand? Wang Ji said angrily.

Yu Qian didn't speak, but the cabinet members around him opened their mouths to refute it.

"Marquis Jingyuan, you are old, just take care of your life at home, and you will not worry about the affairs of the court." Takaya said.

"Yes, too! Without Zhang, will the butcher eat hairy pigs? Everyone can see the combat power of this Ming New Army, what is it to enter Yunnan Mansion! Alarmist!

Why, does Marquis Jingyuan say that the Duke of Qianguo is incompetent, or does he say that without Marquis Jingyuan's expedition, the Ming Dynasty will lose the battle? Wang Zhi was even more polite.

"You!" Wang Ji pointed to the two, but two fists were hard to beat with four hands, and the remaining few people also spoke one after another, mostly with thorns in their words.

Jiang Wan, as a military general, did not speak, otherwise Wang Ji's situation would be even more difficult.

"Master Hou, maybe it's because I'm not thoughtful, but after years of war, the treasury is empty, and now I can't invest more troops in Yunnan, otherwise I am afraid that I will be exploited by the Tartars." Yu Qian opened his mouth to explain.

"Humph! Woman's Words! If you wait until that Sijia grows bigger, I'm afraid it will be trickier than Tartar! Wang Ji snorted coldly.

Compared with the tribes on the grassland, the battle of Lichuan has been fought for decades, and the money and food required is an astronomical amount, and it is like a thick sore and stubborn disease of the Ming Dynasty, which has always plagued the Ming Dynasty.

Faced with Wang Ji, who did not enter the oil and salt, Zhu Qizhen had no choice but to persuade him personally: "Marquis Jingyuan, you must give the imperial court some time to prepare, right?"

I think Yu Qian's method is still feasible, first stabilize the situation in Yunnan, and give the new generation of generals some opportunities to exercise, it is really not too late to make a plot. ”

Zhu Qizhen recognized Yu Qian's strategy, but Wang Ji didn't, he still insisted on extinguishing the rebellion of the Si family as soon as possible, otherwise it would give the rest of the Tusi a signal that was unfavorable to the imperial court.

If it had been placed in the early years, Wang Ji might not have acted against Zhu Qizhen like this.

But now, I don't know if it's because of the age, or if I have the honor of Marquis Jingyuan

Bonded, he stubbornly insisted on going to the battlefield and beat Sijia to death with a stick.

Finally......

"Enough! Are all the Manchu civil and military ministers wrong? Marquis Jingyuan doesn't need to say any more, this matter will be handled according to Yu Qian's ideas.

The cabinet will select candidates as soon as possible, and take this opportunity to train generals, Jin Ying, and send Marquis Jingyuan back! Zhu Qizhen brushed his sleeves and left.

Seeing that the emperor was angry, the cabinet members were silent and bowed their heads and said yes.

But Wang Ji never changed his mind, but kept shouting long live under Jin Ying's advice, wanting to stop Zhu Qizhen.

was invited out of the palace by several big eunuchs of the celebrant eunuch, which made the Wenyuan Pavilion quiet.

"Mediocre people mistake me for the Ming Dynasty!" Wang Ji shouted outside the palace, attracting the attention of many officials.

In just one day, the scene of the cabinet's deliberations spread throughout the circle of Beijing officials.

For a while, everyone consciously stayed away from the Wang family, and even more so, they impeached Wang Ji for having no monarch and contempt for the dynasty, and should be severely punished.

Syllable!

A book of music was slammed on the table, and Zhu Qizhen pointed at Song Shu and said angrily: "What do these people want to do?" Did you please me or become a friend?

It's just that there are some political opinions, so impeaching an old minister who has repeatedly made military exploits, is this what they should do? ”

Jin Ying didn't dare to talk, and lowered her head.

After taking a few deep breaths, Zhu Qizhen calmly commanded: "The ginseng paid tribute by North Korea will pick some good ones and send them to Wang Ji, so that he can take care of his health, and I will say that I still hope that he will continue to shine for the Ming Dynasty." ”

"This ...... Your Majesty, will it affect the court? Jin Ying asked hesitantly.

"Go ahead." Zhu Qizhen did not answer this question.

In fact, the army has already gone out, and the commander has been chosen, and there is no actual change, how can it affect the actual court situation, but the wind direction may change.

After Jin Ying came to the door, there was no sound of impeachment of Wang Ji in the court, and the court was quiet and peaceful, as if the previous attack had not happened.

The courtiers all understood that Zhu Qizhen did not want to settle the old accounts with Wang Ji, but simply supported Yu Qian.

This also made Yu Qian's position as the head of the cabinet more and more stable, and even Zhang Yi was much closer to him.

However, Cao Nai gradually left the power center, and the taste can only be understood by the parties themselves.

With the finalization of the war in Yunnan, the army arrived in Yunnan after January, and at this time the Sijia army had begun to attack Yunnan Province, and all the prefectures west of Yunnan Province had fallen.

The ferocity of the enemy made it difficult for the current Qianguo Gong Mu Zan to resist, he was a teenager himself, and he had not experienced such a big battle, so he was naturally pressed and beaten by Silu at the beginning.

Later, after his brother Mu Lan took charge of the army, he stopped the decline and stabilized the battle line on the front line of Yunnan Mansion, so that Silu could no longer enter.

When Qian Xiongtian led his army into Yunnan, the two sides retreated in the battle line, and no one could go further when the military strength was equal.

It's just that the consumption of grain and grass by the 20,000 army has made the Mu family miserable, and Yunnan, which already has many mountains and few fields, suddenly has so many mouths to eat, and the pressure is even greater.

Although they have the heart to solve the rebellion of the Sijia as soon as possible, but in the face of the powerlessness of the current situation, the Mu Zan and Mu Lan brothers can only look west and sigh, waiting for the new order.

After Wang Yan got the news, he rushed to the grassland Warat, ready to persuade the Arazhiyuan to fight the Central Plains again.

It's just that this time I was unlucky, I didn't see Arazhiyuan after coming to the grassland, and even because of the attack of the Kachaqin League, I was almost not caught as a scout of the Ming army.

Fortunately, there was such a shopkeeper as Zhang Yan with him, so he spent money to get out, which made this proud son feel very gloomy.

"Humph! If you don't take advantage of this time to attack Daming, you will only fight in the nest, which is really useless! "Wang Yan hates that iron does not become steel.

After two months of Dongying, the Ming army and the Japanese people have turned into a stalemate.

Every time a large army goes out, there will be ninjas to harass the rear, which is annoying.

You can't ignore him yet, after all, if something happens to Zhu Qiyu, everyone will have to lose their heads.

And those ninjas will cause some trouble for the cities captured by the Ming army every once in a while.

Set fire to stop water and release water in turns, which not only made the Ming army tired, but also made the people of Dongying miserable.

For those nobles, a little untouchability is not enough to worry about, and if they die, they will die, and they will die on the territory of the Ming people, which can even weaken the Ming army.

After all, without a population and barren fields, supply will become the biggest problem for the people of the Ming Kingdom.

It's just that what they don't know is that when the food shortage is far from beginning, the consumption of gunpowder has become the biggest problem in front of Zhu Qiyu, followed by casualties and attrition.
