Chapter 440: Dispatch of Troops
"You guy will climb along the pole," Chen Cao took a sip of tea, and then said, "Get your family down, I have something to say to you." ”
After dismissing his family, Chen Cao said: "Qiongzhou has built a new military zone, what do you think?" ”
Even if Liu Yucheng understood the reason for the matter, he immediately said in a straight voice: "Your Majesty needs the ministers to go, and the ministers will go wherever they want." ”
"Hey, you're smart." Chen Cao was also unambiguous: "Although you didn't participate, others have opinions on letting you continue to return to the garrison, of course, I believe in your loyalty, so I am ready to let you go to the Qiongzhou Military Region as the chief officer;
Although Qiongzhou is on the southern coast of my Ming Dynasty, compared to the old port, Qiongzhou is also a good place, after all, it is the commander of a provincial military district, and you should be this official, and you will not lose at all..."
"No loss, no loss..."Liu Yucheng hurriedly shook his head: "It's too late for the minister to be happy, thank you Your Majesty for lifting up." ”
"I'm not exalting you;" Chen Cao raised his head with a serious face: "There are many ethnic minorities in Qiongzhou Province, among which the Li and Miao ethnic groups have a large population, and the Zhu family's jurisdiction over Qiongzhou is limited to a few important county seats, and most of the rest are controlled by local officials.
Chen Cao sneered and looked at Liu Yucheng: "When the time comes, it won't be a good thing for your family to join the sect. ”
Liu Yucheng raised his head and said loudly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, if the minister can't do anything, he is willing to raise his head to see Your Majesty." ”
Chen Cao stood up and was about to leave, but as soon as he arrived outside the door, he stopped again, and turned his head to look at Liu Yucheng who came over: "You have a daughter?" ”
Liu Yucheng didn't know what to do: "Back to Your Majesty, I have a daughter." ”
"How old?"
"Fifteen this year..."
Chen Cao frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "Well, fifteen years old is not bad, when you move your family to Qiongzhou to take office, leave your daughter in Nanjing, and I allow her to go to Guozijian to study." ”
Liu Yucheng was so overjoyed that he almost knelt: "Your Majesty Xie carries love, Your Majesty Xie carries love." ”
...
When Dongchang and Jinyiwei were secretly operating in Nanjing, Chen Cao was sitting on the tower of Jiangdong Gate eating citrus at the moment, and spit out a citrus rice under the city from time to time.
Today, there is a military matter at the Jiangdong Gate, which is temporarily closed, and no one has ever passed through it, so all of them have to detour from the Taming Gate.
After a short time, a fast horse galloped from a distance, and after reaching the city, the knight shouted at Chengyou with a fist: "Your Majesty, the ship has arrived in Longjiang, and according to Your Majesty's instructions, it is entering the Jiangdong Wharf from Longjiang to disembark." ”
Another hour and a half, Chen Cao finally saw a figure that began to faintly flash in the distance, so he took the clairvoyant mirror from Zhao Xin's hand to observe, and then smiled: "Sure enough..."
After Fu Yingxing received Chen Cao's order, he immediately found Hirata Zhaoyi, and then asked him to recruit and form a samurai army of at least 20,000 people, because the war between Tokugawa and Toyotomi became more and more fierce at this moment, and there were countless samurai who escaped from various daimyos, but in ten days, Hirata Zhaoichi formed a team of 20,000 people, and with the help of sea ships, he set off smoothly, and arrived at Longjiang in a month.
The team of more than 20,000 people was stationary, which was really a little different in Chen Cao's initial thoughts, so he called Pingtian Zhaoyi, who had led the army, to the city for questioning.
After a few years, Hirata Zhaoyi was a little blessed, perhaps because the days were better, seeing Chen Cao, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said in fluent Chinese: "The last general Hirata Zhaoyi, see Your Majesty." ”
Chen Cao knew the rules of the Wa Kingdom, and he didn't let Hirata summon him together, but asked in a cold voice: "How is the war between the two families?" ”
Hirata knew that Chen Cao was going to ask, and he even knew how to answer: "Back to Your Majesty, after the snow melted in spring, the biggest battle of the year broke out between the two sides in Mino Kunizan and Yamashiro, the Toyotomi side sent 170,000 troops, and the Tokugawa family sent 200,000 troops, and finally ended with the Toyotomi family's tragic victory, and the reason for the tragic victory was because the Toyotomi general Sanada Yukimura was killed..."
Chen Cao narrowed his eyes, he believed that Sanada Yukimura's death must be Fu Yingxing's handiwork, because Chen Cao had told him that in order for the Toyotomi family to win, it was necessary to die important generals while winning the war, after all, in the future, all the Japanese kingdoms would be included in their own territory, and it would be a big disaster for these talents to stay.
"These people you brought are rules, different from the samurai ronin?"
Hirata said: "Regarding Your Majesty's praise, most of these people brought by the last general are Tokugawa samurai who surrendered, and the rest are defeated ronin, and they heard that they are here for Your Majesty's use, and they all show the spirit of the original noble samurai, and they are all in good spirits." ”
Chen Cao then knew why he was different, and then said, "What do you think I thought of changing my Han name to you?" ”
Daiki Hirata: "Please give me a name." ”
Chen Cao was also on a whim, then stared at Zhao Xin, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "The first surname of the hundred families is Zhao, and I will give you the surname Zhao, the name, the first one." ”
"The first class of Jinshi and the first, the last general Zhao Jiadi Xie His Majesty gave the name..."
Chen Cao laughed: "You guy doesn't look like a Japanese at all, even my Ming rules are so clear, okay, in the future, you will be Zhao Jiadi in Daming, and when you are in the Japanese Kingdom, you will be Hirata Zhaoyi, remember." ”
"Remember..."
"Zhao Jiadi's department was reorganized into the Yingzhou Army, and he was the first deputy commander of the Yingzhou Army, and he was specially given the rank of first-class major general of the army, so that his department could act cheaply; As for the military political commissar, I will arrange it tomorrow, Zhao Xin, prepare and let the Yingzhou army go to Qingpu for intensive training. ”
"Yes..."
East Chang'an Gate, also known as Chang'an Left Gate, is the Wubu Yamen Street, a newly opened Yamen plaque hangs the words 'State Council', which allows Chen Cao to come to the officials in person, indicating that they are valued, and the Minister of the State Council is served by Zou Weilian, and the first thing Chen Cao did after entering the door was to ask if there was a suitable civil official who could be appointed.
Zou Weilian thought for a long time, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, do you know Gao Hongtu?" ”
Chen Cao thought for a long time, and suddenly reacted: "I have the impression that when he was still the imperial history, he gave me some strength, how is it?" ”
"Gao Hongtu is interested in doing things, and the minister knows that his talent is more than one master, and now that His Majesty has mentioned it, the minister wants to recommend him to His Majesty."
"Gao Hongtu is old and does anything, I think it's okay, where is he?"
Zou Weilian said with a smile: "Kaichun has just appointed him as the secretary of the House of Commons, and he should be working in the duty room at this moment." ”
Chen Cao walked beside him: "You go and tell him that he will follow the Yingzhou Army to Qingpu for training in two days, so that he doesn't have to sit in the office anymore, and he will be the political commissar of the Yingzhou Army from now on." ”
Chen Cao had just arrived at the gate of the Hongwu Gate, Zhao Xinfeng came over, and Chen Cao handed him water: "Don't choke to death..."
"Ahem, cough, cough..."Zhao Xin couldn't stop coughing: "Emperor, when the Tartars went south to Shandong in the second year of Chongzhen, Gao Hongtu scattered all his family wealth to resist in Jiaozhou, and he failed to enter Nanjing, and he can be regarded as a man." ”
"Hmm..."Chen Cao then remembered Gao Hongtu's own actions in the original history, and nodded: "This person is available, you can go." ”
At the beginning of November, Chen Cao received news from the south, which really shocked him...
At the Qianqing Palace Conference, Chen Cao scolded coldly several times, feeling that his anger was almost gone, and then he said coldly: "Look, this is our 'loyal minister' of the Ming Dynasty." ”
Huang Chunyao looked at Zhu Yujian and kept giving him a look, Zhu Yujian stubbornly stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it should be a decision." ”
"Oh..."Chen Cao looked at Zhu Yujian: "What does Tang Fan think?" ”
Zhu Yujian sweated on his forehead, he found that he had done something that offended people, and it was the founding hero of the Zhu family who offended: "The minister thinks, the minister thinks that he should send troops to suppress." ”
"Gui Fan, Tang Fan said to use sword soldiers, what do you think?"
Zhu Changying scolded Zhu Yujian several times in his heart, but now that he was asked by the emperor, he had to make a choice: "The minister thinks that Tang Fan's opinion is good, and it is related to the stability of my southern Ming Dynasty, and this matter should still be decided by His Majesty." ”
When the fire was almost over, Huang Chunyao came out: "Your Majesty, the words of the two highnesses agree with it, but in consideration of the fact that the Mu family has guarded Yunnan for more than 200 years, it should be dealt with as appropriate." ”
At this time, Zhu Yujian and Zhu Changying understood, they jumped into the pit designed by the emperor by themselves, the two glanced at each other, sighed, and really had to bow their heads under the eaves.
"Oh, what do you think of it?"
Huang Chunyao said loudly: "In this rebellion, the Jinyi Wei report is that the Mu family will act under the banner of returning the great government, but only the Kunming Mansion where the Mu Mansion is located has responded, and the rest of the state capitals have not yet responded, and the gaffe will inevitably expand and cause local losses in Yunnan. ”
Chen Cao nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "It makes sense, how many people do you think is appropriate?" ”
Huang Chunyao arched his hand: "Kunming is a mansion, with enough ten guns to turn around, and one regiment is enough." ”
"Okay..."Chen Cao stood up: "Decree, the family of the Duke of Qianguo in Yunnan will be in chaos, and the Duke Mu Tianbo connived at inaction, and cut off Mu Tianbo's title of Duke of Qianguo from now on, where is Mu Qilin?" ”
When Mu Qilin got the news, he had been waiting outside the hall for a long time, and when he heard the call of the eunuch, he immediately entered the main hall and saluted with his fists.
Seeing this, Chen Cao said: "Mu Qilin, your nephew is making trouble in Yunnan, Jinyiwei has reported that there are important generals involved, I have been on the throne for so long, even Tang Fan and Gui Fan have come, and even fought with the king of the Zhu family in Xiangyang, your Mu family is still indifferent, really think that you are far away as the emperor of the sky?" I need your Mu family to stabilize the border of Yunnan? ”
Mu Qilin hurriedly bowed: "The minister is guilty, and the minister asks for the guilt on behalf of his nephew." ”
"I don't need you to ask for guilt, you are the Mu family, at least you can speak, I have already decreed that Mu Tianbo's title of Duke of Qianguo should be cut off, and it was not easy for me to fight in Mu Ying; So...
On this trip to Yunnan, if you can put down the rebellion, I will make an exception for you to inherit the title of Duke of Qianguo..."
Mu Qilin's heart trembled, after so long of completing the big thing, he finally had news.
"Also, if Mu Tianbo is smart and obedient, I will allow him to be renamed Nanning Bo, hereditary replacement..."
