Chapter Eighty-Three: Old and Vulgar Xiong Tingbi
After riding a horse, Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youzhen brothers had a lot of fun, but when they were happy, Wang An took two little eunuchs and sent a thick stack of music.
Seeing Song Shu, although Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything, he was a little unhappy in his heart.
Seeing this, Zhu Youzhen could only follow the opening:
"I've been riding for half an hour, and I'm really tired, so why don't you take a rest first?"
"It's okay" Zhu Youxiao nodded, knowing that Zhu Youzhen was afraid that he would delay his performance, so he was afraid of what he said.
The two turned over and dismounted, and sat on a chair under Huang Gero's umbrella, while the eunuch next to them also brought herbal tea.
Wang An saluted:
"Long live, Your Highness, this is something that the celebrant can't handle, and it needs to be decided by you."
"Among them, these are the notes sent by the Ministry of War, one is the note of Xiong Tingbi of Liaodong Jinglu, one is the note of the Ministry of Households on the announcement of salary, and the other is the proposal of the imperial historians on the soldiers and horses of Changping and Tongzhou."
"Let's look at the military department first." Zhu Youxiao was still very concerned about military affairs, so he took it and glanced at it, then handed it to Zhu Youzhen and motioned him to take a look.
Zhu Youzhen did not refuse, but took it and glanced at it.
This recital is a royal history to inspect Changping, Tongzhou and Shangshu.
It shows the inaction of the Tongzhou Guard in the 26th Guard of Shangzhi, as well as the negligence of the soldiers and horses in the Changping area.
The suggestion of this imperial history was to dismiss 3,000 soldiers and horses in Changping, Tongzhou and other Tongchang areas, and recruit new men and horses.
I have to say、His proposal is still somewhat interesting。
Tongzhou Zhu Youzhen didn't know, but he had seen the soldiers and horses of Gonghua City in the Changping area with Yang Lian, and it was really not good.
It's just that the soldiers and horses of the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the Yulin Sanwei have not been trained at the moment, if they do, Zhu Youzhen wants to immediately return the Yulin Sanwei to the royal brother, and ask the Yulin Sanwei to replace the soldiers and horses in these two places.
Although there are not many soldiers and horses in these two places, only two guards and horses, there are 70,000 or 80,000 taels of silver every year, and only 100,000 taels of silver can be done if you count the food and drink.
One hundred thousand taels of silver raised such a waste, thinking about Zhu Youzhen felt distressed.
Therefore, he could only say tentatively: "This recital, the younger brother thinks it can be adopted." ”
"If the imperial brother is not in a hurry, please give the younger brother half a year, and after half a year, the younger brother will return the imperial brother Yulin Sanwei."
"At that time, one of the three guards of Yulin can be transferred to guard the imperial city, one guard to guard Tongzhou, and one guard to guard Changping."
"In this way, the abolition of Changping and Tongzhouwei, and the inventory of the two Wei fields, can not only save 100,000 taels of silver every year, but also obtain a sufficient number of fields to increase the income of the imperial court."
"Hmm......" Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly, didn't say anything meaningful, just frowned and looked at the music in his hand.
Zhu Youzhen glanced at it, only to see a thousand words sprinkled with a sparkle of songs, which made people have a headache.
After a while, Zhu Youxiao finished reading the song before he spoke:
"My brother's words make sense, but you are so confident that you can replace the soldiers and horses of Tongzhou and Changping with the soldiers and horses of the two guards, without causing the dissatisfaction of the guards below?"
"Brother has self-confidence!" Zhu Youzhen replied confidently:
"When my brother stayed in Gonghua City, I once saw the local soldiers and horses, to be honest, even if there are 50,000 soldiers and horses like that, they can't stop the three guards of Yulin who have been trained for half a year!"
Zhu Youzhen had already said it very explicitly, if it weren't for the scruples of face, he would have wanted to say that those guys were peasants who put on armor and picked up weapons.
However, even if he said it very implicitly, it also made Zhu Youxiao realize how weak the soldiers and horses in the Beizhili area were.
Zhu Youzhen saw that the good royal brother's face was not good-looking, and he also took advantage of the victory to chase after him:
"Why don't you do that? After the spring of next year, the younger brother called Yulin Sanwei to return to the capital and show his military might outside the Anding Gate. ”
"It's okay......" Hearing Zhu Youzhen say this, Zhu Youxiao could only nod, and then handed the music in his hand to Zhu Youzhen:
"A few days ago, Yushi Feng Sanyuan impeached Xiong Tingbi, saying that if he was not deposed, Liaodi would not be able to keep it after all."
"I sent Feng Sanyuan's recital to the courtiers for discussion, I never thought that Xiong Tingbi was annoyed, and now I am writing to defend myself, and ask for the dismissal and return to my hometown."
"What do you think about this?"
Zhu Youxiao opened his mouth to ask, but Zhu Youzhen glanced at Xiong Tingbi's recital.
[Minister, Liaodong Jingluo Xiong Tingbi, knock on the holy grace from afar, and then resign, Liaodi has been destroyed since the third road, and the old slave has fallen into Kaiyuan again......]
This recital is longer than Zhu Youzhen expected, with thousands of words, and the beginning of it is Xiong Tingbi's resignation and return to his hometown.
Further down, Xiong Tingbi talked about the chaos in Liaodong, and said that after he dismantled the Liao soldiers, he divided each person into 40 teams with 25 people in each team with a school field and 1,000 soldiers.
Among the twenty-five people, there is also a bird's nest, and this bird's nest is five cavalrymen who are good at shooting.
It took more than half a year of training to stabilize Liaodong.
It's just that at present, although Liaodong has undergone several disarmaments, the number of 120,000 soldiers and horses is only 30,000 or 40,000 in the wilderness.
After he dismissed the official and returned to his hometown, he asked Yuan Yingtai, the governor of Liaodong, to pass through Liaodong, so that he could hold Liaodong.
However, Nurhachi will inevitably attack Liaodong after his dismissal, so if you want to resist Nurhachi, you must transfer another 30,000 elite soldiers from the nine sides, and then 20,000 Tusi soldiers from eastern Sichuan to hold Liaodong.
Later, Xiong Tingbi cried about Yao Zongwen, Feng Sanyuan and others for framing him for his inaction in Liaodong, and listed all kinds of evidence.
I have to say that from the point of view of the recital, except for the cry of a few hundred words at the end, Xiong Tingbi has a very good analysis of the form of Liaodong.
However, his request to transfer 30,000 elite soldiers from the Nine Sides and 20,000 Tusi soldiers was really inappropriate.
From the 120,000 soldiers and horses, it can be seen that Xiong Tingbi is obviously disarmed again, because when Man Gui told Zhu Youzhen about the situation in Liaodong, there were still 160,000 soldiers and horses in Liaodong.
But now there are only 120,000, which can only show that Xiong Tingbi has been disarmed again, and after the disarmament, there are only 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses who can fight in the wilderness.
This guy doesn't have so many twists and turns, and he directly said this number just to make the court understand clearly that the situation in Liaodong is not enough to counterattack Nurhachi.
But this guy didn't expect that this form of sparseness would only make the imperial court doubt his personal ability, especially Zhu Youxiao.
At present, Zhu Youxiao has only learned about the complexity of the local situation in Liaodong after Zhu Youzhen has talked about the situation in Liaodong several times.
But even so, he was very dissatisfied with Xiong Tingbi's performance and doubted his ability.
"This old coarse, he can't say a few words?"
Zhu Youzhen scolded in his heart, and then he had no choice but to wipe Xiong Tingbi's buttocks.
