Chapter Forty-Eight: Recruiting Talents
"Dots, two thousand taels!"
"Two thousand taels were put into storage, and the household department received a total of eight hundred and sixty-four thousand taels, and there was still a shortage of five hundred and fifty-six thousand taels."
"Again!"
In the large courtyard of the East Palace, early in the morning, Lu Wenzhao brought three hundred brocade guards to prepare for the upcoming household silver.
At the end of the day, when the household department escorted one hundred and eighty carriages to the East Palace, the silver on them was quickly removed from the carriage by the brocade guards and weighed and counted.
No, after an hour's counting, the three hundred brocade guards only counted eight hundred and sixty-four thousand taels of silver, and fifty-six boxes of silver were not counted.
It was Zhu Youzhen, who was lying on a recliner next to him, with an umbrella on his head, eating frozen pears and flipping through the accounts.
This is the third day after Zhu Youzhen went to the Qianqing Palace, and if nothing happens, he will set off with the silver and Yulin Sanwei and Zhu Changluo's coffin tomorrow.
In the past three days, what he has done begging the imperial brother to do has exploded in the cabinet, the six ministries, and the six departments.
It's just a matter of setting up two new military roads, and they actually abolished Bijiewei, and they wanted to surround the Yongning Xuanwei Division.
As Zhu Youzhen's old opponent, Yang Lian was very unhappy to impeach Zhu Youzhen as a military officer, as well as Zhu Youxiao's will.
Without him, it was only because the Ministry of War and the Military Department had thought of transferring Yu Chongming, who was from the Yongning Xuanwei Division, to Liaodong to aid Liao.
At present, Zhu Youzhen is in a posture of encircling Luxury Chongming, as if he is stimulating Luxury Chongming.
These people all think that Gao Chongming is a loyal minister, so impeachment is playing with fire.
It's just that this kind of impeachment was simply cracked by Zhu Youxiao, and he simply pointed to Zunyi in Banzhou and Guiyang in the south, and the meaning is very simple.
You say that my brother's arrangement surrounded the Yongning Xuanwei Division, so what about Zunyi and Guiyang?
Zhu Youxiao's response was very ingenious, but the military department and the military department did not retreat at all, and still demanded that the Hejiang military preparation road and the military military preparation road be abolished.
Cui Jingrong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was already sympathetic to the Donglin Party, and was dissatisfied with Zhu Youxiao's favor and belief in Zhu Youzhen, and his interference in the military affairs in the southwest, so he rejected the decree of the celebrant supervisor.
But just because he rejected it doesn't mean that the other cabinets won't agree.
Because the holy decree was written together on the promotion of the four people, plus Hong Chengchou was from Fujian, and the Fujian Party was attached to the Zhejiang Party, Sun Ruyou, the leader of the Zhejiang Party, saw that Hong Chengchou had taken the greatest benefit from the four, and the other four were from the local township party, and none of them were from the Donglin Party, so Fang Congzhe and others directly criticized the red hair.
Cui Jingrong was angry and sick for a day, and Hong Chengchou and others, who were promoted, were already on their way south.
In the final analysis, Yang Lian's idea is correct.
If Luxe Chongming is a loyal minister, then such an arrangement will obviously make Luxe Chongming's heart cold.
But being right doesn't mean it's right.
Zhu Youzhen came from later generations, and he already knew that Yu Chongming was an anti-bone boy, and it was impossible for him to give this guy a way to live.
As for Hong Chengchou, this guy Zhu Youzhen is not going to put him in the north.
According to his memory, there are many toasts in the southwest who are ready to move, and his idea is very simple.
Let Yang Wenyue, Wu Aheng, and Sun Chuanting gain merit in suppressing the Lu'an Rebellion, and then transfer the local government to the north as officials.
Although Yang Wenyue, Wu Aheng, and Sun Chuanting are all civil officials, they all have generals, but who has more and who has less.
The most important point is that these three people are all people who died in the war for the Ming Dynasty, and they will not backstab their old club like Hong Chengchou's anti-bone boy.
In history, the combination of these three people successfully blocked the White Lotus Sect uprising in Shandong, and now they are given time, and it is not a big deal to block luxury Chongming.
And for the positioning of the three of them, Zhu Youzhen is also very clear.
Wu Aheng and Yang Wenyue, who were good at defending, were arranged in Xuzhou and Luzhou, and Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, who were good at attacking, were arranged in Chongqing and Bijie.
As long as Wu Aheng and Yang Wenyue hold Luzhou and Xuzhou, Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou go north and west, and with the cooperation of Qin Liangyu, the 20,000 Yi soldiers of Chongming will not be able to set off any storms.
Of course, more importantly, Zhu Youzhen transferred Sun Chuanting to Bijiewei in order to accumulate experience for him.
The abolition of Bijiewei and the establishment of a military reserve road are equivalent to leaving Bijie to Sun Chuanting to play.
How can the guards be safely dismantled? And how to count the acres? How to build a new army from scratch?
These three questions are more difficult than those of the others, and the slightest carelessness can lead to a mutiny.
But Zhu Youzhen believes in Sun Chuanting, and he will not let him down.
In history, Bijie Sun Chuanting only took 200,000 taels of silver from Chongzhen, and pulled out tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to defeat Li Zicheng, who was hundreds of thousands of people.
If it weren't for the lack of training time in the follow-up, and the army's poor military discipline would lead to defeat, Sun Chuanting would have had a chance to suppress Li Zicheng.
If you want to blame, blame Chongzhen at that time for being too picky.
Thinking so, Zhu Youzhen suddenly felt that his nose was a little itchy, and after rubbing it, he raised his head and said:
"How's the order sent to the Loess Ridge in Liaodong?"
"Back to Your Highness......" Cao Huachun said slowly:
"At the speed of five hundred miles of expeditiousness, it is almost received now."
"Got it? It's good to receive it......" Hearing this, the corners of Zhu Youzhen's mouth hooked up a smile.
At the same time, on the Loess Ridge in eastern Liaodong in the cold winter, a lonely camp also ushered in a five-hundred-mile expedited exploration horse.
"Five hundred miles in an emergency! Loess Ridge 100 household officials and garrisons are full of Gui to receive orders! ”
Loess Ridge, which is a military point surrounded by mountains, is stationed with more than 500 Ming troops.
When the five-hundred-mile expedited scout arrived with a command flag on his back and shouted, a garrison who was patrolling the city wall hurriedly ordered someone to open the gate of the wall, and then led people down to greet him.
"Who is Man Gui?!"
The reins of the horse were raised, and the restless horses were shouted, and at this moment everyone looked at the garrison who had just descended the city wall and was walking towards the camp gate.
"Under the mark is the Loess Ridge garrison Mangui, what is the military order!"
The guard who replied was a man who was nearly forty years old and had been weathered.
He is of medium height, five feet five inches, almost one meter seven or six, wearing Guangning's newly issued Liao soldier cloth face armor, and the whole person is very energetic.
Seeing this, the expedited probe hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and then pulled out the white silk and said:
"Man Gui takes the order!"
"Order?!" Everyone was taken aback, and they looked at the white silk holy decree in Tanma's hand, knowing that this holy decree was not of high grade.
But even if there is no level of holy decree, it is not something that ordinary people can receive.
After hearing the order, Man Gui, who had been in a hurry for half his life, was even more stunned for a long time, until Tanma shouted the order again, and he knelt in the snow:
"The minister is full of Gui, take the order!"
Man Gui was also receiving the order for the first time, and he didn't know what etiquette to do, so he could only kneel down to accept the order, and the action made Tanma roll his eyes for a while.
However, thinking that Man Gui was also a rough man, Tanma still read out:
"Fengtian carried the emperor, and said: Liao affairs are initially decided, and the military commander will be the pillar of the imperial court and the dry city of the country."
"The 100 households in the Loess Ridge are full of Gui, and they are loyal and brave, and they are skilled in bows and horses."
"I hereby grant you the title of a thousand households, the temporary representative of the warrior battalion general, and hope that you will be diligent and deeply attached to the martyrdom of Yuan Rong and make meritorious contributions to China."
"The second day of October in the first year of Taichang"
At the end of the decree, Tanma handed the holy decree to Man Gui with both hands, but he stupidly froze in place, and he didn't know that he took the holy decree.
Counselor...... Thousand households......
These two official positions are difficult to touch for him, and now it is just a holy decree that allows him to obtain these two official positions.
His hands trembled, and when the soldiers around him came to celebrate, he saw him slap himself a few times.
Everyone was frightened by him, but when Man Gui felt the pain, he raised his hands and looked up to the sky and laughed:
"Good! Good! Good! ”
Three good in a row, I can't tell you all about his grievances and sadness for more than 20 years.
Such a man let him cry bitterly with tears in his eyes in front of his subordinates.
"I am full of laurels, long live it! When you live up to the Ming! ”
The snow is fluttering, and the talents who have been left out in the cold have been reused in advance after all......
