Chapter 567: Quick Knife Cuts Through the Mess
Everyone looked at Zhang Anshi.
Zhu Di was obviously a little interested in Zhang Anshi's objections, so he said: "What does Zhang Qing have a high opinion? β
Zhang Anshi said: "If the imperial court retreats, not only will it not quickly stabilize people's hearts, but they will think that they have the capital to bargain with the imperial court." Now that there are people plotting rebellion, it is better to immediately allocate men and horses to prepare to quell the rebellion. Otherwise, once the amnesty is granted, then for many people who are waiting and watching, they must think that the court is jealous, so if the amnesty is granted today because of this, then tomorrow there will be other things, wouldn't it...... Amnesty again? The so-called sun arch is a pawn, and at that time, the imperial court will have no way to retreat. β
Zhang Anshi paused and continued: "Instead of this, it is better to adopt thunderbolt means and never let the thief succeed. β
Zhang Anshi's words were obviously very tempting to Zhu Di.
Because Zhu Di is a person who wins the world immediately, relying on force to solve problems is Zhu Di's path dependence.
However, Zhu Di also trusts Yang Rong a lot, knows Yang Rong's words, and has his truth.
Sure enough, Yang Rong said: "What King Song said is not unreasonable, but what the old man is worried about is that thieves are all over the world, and if the imperial court deploys troops, then it is inevitable that there will be left and right." Dare to ask, now that the Fujian political envoy is reversed, how many people will the imperial court allow, and how many people will be allocated to the Guangxi political envoy? β
He deliberately paused here and continued: "How much grain and grass do you need to draw soldiers and horses? How is grain and grass transported? So much grain and grass passes through so many states and counties, and these states and counties ...... They have also begun to wait and see, will they really sincerely support the court to quell the rebellion? If this is the case...... There are thieves who take advantage of the situation and suddenly attack my Ming Dynasty's food, what should I do? β
In a short period of time, there are two opposites, which shows that many people are ready to move, and at this time they are desperate and determined to fight against the water. Therefore, the imperial court must prepare for the worst, that is, ...... There will be at least 20 or even 30 local rebels and rebels in the world, so how many people does the imperial court need, and how much time does it take to quell the rebellion? β
"Take 10,000 steps back, as soon as the officials and soldiers of the imperial court arrive, but these rebels are already in their hometown, familiar with the way, as soon as the officials and soldiers arrive, they will immediately hide in the mountains, or collude with the local gentry to hide, so what? Have the officers and soldiers been there all along? If the rebellion is suppressed for a long time, it will inevitably bring inconvenience to the local people, and thieves will breed, and it will be the local people who will suffer. Your Majesty, such a traitor is not the Hu people and Tatars who have invaded the borders of our Ming Dynasty, and it is not an ordinary rebellion of the officials and soldiers, but the local soldiers. β
Yang Rong immediately looked at Zhang Anshi and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Song, the situation is different from that of resisting thieves and counterinsurgency, and the model battalion is of course elite, so once it encounters a foreign enemy, it will be able to defeat the enemy." But if the military horses of the model battalion arrived at the place where the rebels were entrenched after traveling thousands of miles, but when they found that the traitors they encountered were wearing the clothes of ordinary people, and there were even many women and children accompanying the army, then ...... Can they still be decisive? Even if it can be done, but after such a long period of counterinsurgency, then ...... The soldiers have been killing for a long time, what will be their morale? These traitors will never choose to fight a decisive battle with the officers and soldiers, they will be wandering around, and this ...... And how to deal with it? β
He let out a long sigh and said, "Your Majesty, this is exactly what the minister is worried about! Of course, there are traitors in the world, and of course it is necessary to put down the rebellion quickly, which cannot be tolerated at any time. But today's situation is not in line with the current situation of the imperial court, and now it ...... Railways are already being built everywhere, and once the railways are connected, then ...... Quelling the rebellion became a breeze, and wherever there were traitors, the officers and soldiers could immediately take steam locomotives to the morning and evening, and an endless supply of grain and grass could also be supplied along with the railway. Therefore, the minister thought that the amnesty could be granted now, and the purpose of the amnesty was not to compromise, but to buy time for the imperial court, as long as the railways in all parts of the world could be roughly connected, and then the ...... If there is such a rebellion, it will be easy to break the thief. β
"On the contrary, now, not to mention anything else, just say that Guangxi and Fujian have 100,000 mountains, the roads are rugged and difficult, the grain transportation is difficult, and the thieves can escape to the mountains and the sea at any time, which will not only cause the people to suffer because of the continuous war, but also increase the burden on the imperial court, and once the thieves cannot be quickly exterminated, so that they can still wander in the mountains, if the rest of the world responds, the situation will be even more irreparable. Please also Your Majesty...... With the common people in the world as the thought, not just the courage of the moment, the rise of the court. β
His words made Zhu Di immediately fall silent.
So much so that Zhang Anshi was silent.
Yang Rong laid out the actual situation, although the model battalion is powerful, but as a guest army, after a long journey, it arrived at the front line, but what it encountered was very likely to be ordinary people coerced by the soldiers! And the roads there are rugged and mountainous, and supply is also a big problem, not only that, but the other party is familiar with the terrain, and once it escapes, it is a matter of pursuit.
Of course, these are not important, but what is important is...... Obviously, as long as the people's hearts are stabilized first and the railway is repaired, then ...... At present, these counterinsurgency problems can be easily solved.
Therefore, it is necessary to give amnesty, first to stabilize people, and then the imperial court to build the railway wholeheartedly, and when all the dust settles, even if the accounts are settled after the autumn, it is not necessary.
Zhu Di put his hands behind his back and paced, with a look of hesitation on his face, and then looked at Xie Jin sharply and said, "What does Xie Qing think?" β
Xie Jin said: "The minister thinks that Yang Gong is the words of seeking the country, and today's plan is indeed the most beneficial to the imperial court." β
Hu Guang also said: "The minister seconded the proposal. β
Jin Youzi, who has been silent, also said: "Your Majesty, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, a momentary mood is nothing, the so-called gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late, and said: The revenge of the ninth generation can still be avenged!" For ordinary people, it is natural to compete for the length of a day, but for the imperial court, what is the time of a few years? The current situation, but Yang Gong's words, is the most safe, the imperial court should first focus on the implementation of the railway, this is the most important thing. β
Zhu Di put his hands behind his back and stopped, but he was silent again.
Wen Yuan Pavilion almost chose to be the opposite of Zhang Anshi, of course, Zhu Di knew that their words did make sense.
Even Zhu Di, who was in the most bloody and rigid period, was afraid that he would choose forbearance.
It's just that...... Even if Zhu Di regained his senses, he also knew that reason was so, but when he thought that at this time, he would still choose amnesty, and choose to compromise with these damn corrupt officials and gentry who had concealed their household registration, which couldn't help but make Zhu Di feel like a fish in his throat, and for a while, he couldn't help but sigh.
He couldn't help but say faintly: "Although Yang Qing's words are not in line with my heart, they are quite reasonable, hey......"
Even as an emperor, many times, he can't do what he wants.
When Zhu Di was struggling in his heart, Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Yang Gong's words are really old and seeking the country, but there is one place, which is quite miscalculated. β
Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi and said, "Say." β
Zhang Anshi said: "The minister is thinking, how popular these scholars are, they can coerce so many people, Yang Gong said that if the official army is going around, and a large amount of supplies and military supplies need to be allocated, and now the railway has not yet been completed, it is indeed eradicated, which is time-consuming and laborious." What's more, once there are many thieves in the world responding, then ...... The court must be in a hurry. So...... The minister thought, why not ...... The minister only needs a military horse for the time being, that is, three or five thousand model battalions, to quickly quell the rebellion, and His Majesty only needs to order the minister to be the general of this rebellion. β
Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi in surprise and said, "How much time does it take?" β
"...... within three months," Zhang Anshi thought for a while.
Zhu Di, Yang Rong and others took care of each other, and then, Zhu Di became interested.
Yang Rong is certainly reasonable.
can't stand Zhang Anshi's cheapness.
If an appointment is given to thousands of people, and the rebellion can be quelled within three months, then all the difficulties mentioned by Yang Rong and others will no longer exist.
So Zhu Di, who was very entangled, suddenly lifted his spirits and said, "Three or five thousand people...... Is it less? After all, it is a guest army, and it is a long journey...... If the thief hears the wind and flees, I am afraid that it will be more protracted......"
Zhang Anshi smiled calmly and said, "Your Majesty...... Three or five thousand people, enough. β
The way he showed it, he didn't even see the slightest embarrassment.
Speaking of which, Zhu Di immediately said: "If these thieves can be pacified, other thieves who are about to move will no longer dare to breed delusions, which is really a credit to the world for the Ming Dynasty. β
Finally got Zhu Di's consent, Zhang Anshi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said: "Obey the order, please ask Your Majesty to allow your ministers...... Hurry up and prepare. β
Zhu Di said: "Let's go, how much you need, play at any time." β
Zhang Anshi did not hesitate anymore and immediately left the palace.
Things turned a little fast, and this time, it made Yang Rong and the others messy.
This kind of thing, what can't stand is the involution, you sell things, say dry mouth, and finally make the buyer believe that you are how rare this thing is, how time-consuming and laborious the process, how high the cost, as a result, someone next door came up, to say that I also have this goods, you take a penny.
Yang Rong was embarrassed, but he couldn't help but be curious, in fact, if Zhang Anshi could really do this, then ...... His worries are indeed unnecessary.
After all, it would have cost the court to compromise with the rebellious ministers and thieves, and it would be great if it could quickly quell the rebellion and minimize the losses.
Yang Rong said: "Your Majesty, the words of His Royal Highness King Song ......"
Zhu Di said in a rare and profound manner: "His words are indeed quite unbelievable, although three months is not short, it can be ...... Even if the army marches and reaches the rebels, it may not be possible to do it in three months...... But...... Zhang Qing has made many miraculous achievements in the past ten years, and I am ...... at this time I'd love to see how he can do amazing things again. β
Xie Jinren and the others couldn't help but nod secretly.
In fact, Zhu Di's words can also be said to be the voices of several people present. They have not been dealing with Zhang Anshi for a day and a half, in their opinion, Zhang Anshi belongs to the category of freaks, and they can no longer be guessed by common sense.
However, Yang Rong still said with a little unease: "Your Majesty, are you still prepared for the worst?" Once the counterinsurgency is protracted...... Then the imperial court ......"
Zhu Di thought about it, seemed a little hesitant, and finally said: "You can prepare, and look at the progress of the war, and then make a decision!" β
This is the most compromise method, and Yang Rong can't say anything more.
Xie Jinren and the others had no objections, and they obeyed the order one after another, and then withdrew.
At this time, Zhang Anshi returned to his palace non-stop.
As soon as he arrived at the palace, he suddenly lifted his spirits.
In fact, Zhang Anshi didn't like the roll, but when Yang Rong and others proposed an amnesty, there was no better way, so Zhang Anshi had to make a military order.
It's not that Zhang Anshi is a murderer, so he has to put down the rebellion.
In fact, if the problem can be solved peacefully, Zhang Anshi is very willing.
But Zhang Anshi knows very well that if the court makes a compromise, there may be a second time, and so on...... Path dependencies are formed.
It's just a vicious circle, not the best way to solve the problem!
What's more, he also knows very well that the magistrates and gentry in the world are actually observing the attitude of the imperial court, and Zhang Anshi has a great grasp of counterinsurgency, of course...... Willing to choose the way to cut through the mess quickly.
In a short time, many people came to pay their respects.
Zhu Yong and Zhang Wei are the generals of the two model battalions.
Jinyi Wei commanded Chen Li.
Secretary of the Post Office Hu Mu.
There are not many people who come, but everyone is the most important thing.
At this time, Zhang Anshi had already picked up his pen and wrote down an order, and as soon as Hu Mu arrived, he immediately said to Hu Mu: "The Post Department, convey and implement this order, quickly!" Remember, whatever you do, communicate it. β
Hu Mu took the order, only glanced down, but his face was still pampered and not surprised, to be honest, for more than a year, he could be regarded as having seen the world, life can be described as ups and downs, and now the general fright can no longer make him lose his temper at all.
So Hu Mu said calmly: "Huh." β
Zhang Anshi immediately looked at Chen Li and said, "The news of the rebellion, Jin Yiwei has already learned about it, right?" β
Chen Li immediately said: "Your Highness, you have already mastered it, and your humble majesty has already been selecting elite soldiers and strong generals, and is ready to go to Fujian and Guangxi at any time to strengthen the Jinyi Guard there." β
Zhang Anshi bowed his head: "If there is any news, it must be reported immediately, where the rebels are raging, all the captains still have to perform their duties, if they encounter special circumstances, they can be lurked on the spot." β
"Whoa."
Zhu Yong, who was on the side, couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty has issued an order to quell the rebellion?" β
Zhu Yong seemed a little impatient, but in fact, when he heard the news of the rebellion, he could be said to be smiling from ear to ear.
Among their brothers, Zhang Anshi needless to say, even the stupid Qiu Song now has a fiefdom and has made miraculous achievements, and he is very majestic, but he taught Zhu Yong and Zhang Yuan, and he couldn't help but be hot.
The two of them, one was training military attachΓ©s and the other was training military horses.
It was Zhang Xun who trained the military attachΓ©, in fact, to establish a model battalion officer system and regularize this training, so that it could provide a steady stream of backbone for the future Ming military horses.
The model battalion has been expanded several times, and the number has reached as many as 80,000 or 90,000.
Looking at Zhu Yong, Zhang Anshi pulled down his face: "What are you laughing at?" β
"No, no laughing." Zhu Yong immediately pursed his lips, drooped his head and said: "Big brother, I was shocked to hear the bad news, heartbroken, why is there a traitor again, the eldest brother doesn't believe me, you can ask the third brother, the third brother knows that my heart hurts." β
Zhang Wei on the side said: "Big brother, I won't hide it from you, second brother...... There was no heartache, he was very happy. β
Zhu Yong: "......"
I know that the pig teammates are among the brothers.
Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Yong, who was speechless, and then looked at Zhang Yuan, who looked honest, but he was not angry, and couldn't help but say: "Hey...... Without further ado, whether you are happy or unhappy, your Majesty has now sent a decree ordering me to supervise this matter. Of course, everything will have to wait until the decree comes down, and now ...... Thieves are rampant, model camp ...... It is also necessary to be mentally prepared in advance for counterinsurgency. β
Zhu Yong immediately said: "Big brother, don't worry, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, don't say it's just a thief, it's no matter how elite the soldiers and horses are, when they come to us, it's not as easy as cutting melons and vegetables?" These thieves who should be killed seem to have itchy skin, and they don't know how powerful we are. β
Zhang Anshi stood up, he glanced at Chen Li and Hu Mu, as if he had something to say, and wanted to say to Zhu Yong and Zhang Xu, so the two of them understood, so they took their leave.
In this temple, only three brothers remained.
Zhang Anshi walked up to Zhu Yong's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said to Zhu Yong: "Second brother, are you in a hurry to make meritorious service now?" β
Zhu Yong seemed to have been pierced in his heart, and his face couldn't help but turn red, so he muttered: "I'm in a hurry, but it's ...... If the third brother also wants to make meritorious contributions...... I can't let him ......."
Zhang Anshi smiled, but said, "What if...... I said you won't be able to do it this time......"
"Ah...... This ......"
Seeing that both of them showed disappointment.
Zhang Anshi sighed and said: "It's only the big brother to blame, this model battalion is too sharp, and it is too sharp, and it is too urgent, and the so-called good fighters have no outstanding achievements, which is the case." This time, there are not many people who can use the model battalion to quell the rebellion, so the two brothers ...... I'm afraid I'll have to endure it a little longer. β
Zhu Yong was anxious, and couldn't help but say: "If you don't need a model battalion, which military horse can you use?" Isn't it the railroad guard's guard? β
Zhang Anshi mysteriously evoked a smile and said: "No one needs it, big brother, I want to scatter beans into a soldier!" β
