The court meeting ended.

As soon as the emperor left, the ministers had already talked about it before they could leave the Fengtian Palace.

Whether it is Wenchen or Wuxun, they all want to know how the battle of Emperor Liaodong was fought, where and how the so-called pocket array was deployed, how many men and horses were used, and who would preside over it...... It's all questions.

"British Duke, a few elders, Ma Butang, Your Majesty invites a few of you to the Qianqing Palace."

Xiao Jing came over to speak.

Zhang Mao walked without hesitation.

The three cabinet members, as well as Ma Wensheng, set their eyes on Zhang Zhou at the same time.

Xie Qian asked, "Is this Zhang Gongshi going with him too?" ”

"Not necessarily." Xiao Jing replied with a smile.

said that Zhang Zhou did not go to the Qianqing Palace, but it seems that Zhang Zhou was not in a hurry to leave the palace, probably just not to go with these people to face the saint.

To face the saint, it is also a separate face.

……

……

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

The emperor sat behind the desk, and there were only five people in front of him: Zhang Mao, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, and Ma Wensheng, and only Dai Yi stood beside him.

The front of me is a bit like the scene of the previous discussion of the First World War.

Ma Wensheng asked: "Your Majesty, I don't know how Liaodong should prepare for war?" Who is the imperial history of the capital, and who is the chief military officer to cooperate with all parties to fight? ”

Zhu Youzhu said: "I don't plan to send Du Yushi to go, just take the current precautions in the northwest and make some proper arrangements." ”

Ma Wensheng frowned when he heard this.

It seems that the emperor hasn't taken Duoyan Sanwei too seriously.

Liu Jian said: "If it is only from Beijing to Liaodong, the front line will not have time to prepare, or the government decree will not be accessible, and there should be a front-line coordinator responsible for everything." ”

"Hmm." Zhu Youzhu nodded, "I am going to use An Bianbo as the chief military officer of Liaodong, and cooperate with the garrison commanders and envoys everywhere to complete this battle." The imperial court sent Wang Qiong of the household department Langzhong as the grain supervisor, and guarded Zhang Yong's army with a partial pass, and arrived in Ningyuan within ten days. He also ordered Qian Ying, the commander of the capital, and Ren Liang, the internal officer of the garrison, to cooperate and mobilize troops and horses to prepare for the war. ”

The emperor casually told all the arrangements in front of several people.

This also made Liu Jian and the others understand that the emperor was not discussing with them, but just informing them.

As for who gave these suggestions to the emperor, it was difficult for them to figure out.

Li Dongyang said: "Your Majesty, An Bianbo is young and vigorous, and he has never had actual experience in leading troops, why do you want him to be the chief military officer?" If this battle is unavoidable, Qian Ying should also be the commander-in-chief. ”

The general army of the Ming Dynasty was temporarily set up during the war, and it stands to reason that the general army of Ningyuan should be the commander of the capital responsible for garrisoning Ningyuan.

Zhu Youzhu said: "Then it is better to lead the troops with Li Gao, the chief military officer, and Zhang Yu, the right servant!" ”

Although Li Gao and Zhang Yu are still in the northwest, their military careers are in jeopardy, because both the emperor and the ministers of the court and the central government have begun to believe that they have falsely reported their military exploits in the previous battle of Yizhou.

That's not a small matter.

But to say that the emperor wanted to pursue the false report of his military exploits, he let Ren Liang go.

It can only be said that Ren Liang's family is a relational household, and the relationship between the DPRK and China is very strong, and not only did he not fall when he encountered this kind of thing, but he could continue to cooperate with Zhu Feng to use troops......

Li Dongyang is good at strategy among several people, maybe fighting with soldiers is not his strong point, but this time when it comes to the use of people in the imperial court, he suggested that Ning Yuan should be the commander of Qian Ying as the chief military officer, simply considering that An Bianbo Zhu Feng is a straw bag.

But now the emperor directly pushed back Li Dongyang's words.

In such a big battle, isn't it nonsense to let Zhu Feng take the lead alone?

"Your Majesty, if you are sure that Duoyan Sanwei will attack Ningyuan next, should you also give priority to the soldiers of the local defenders in Ningyuan? Qian Ying is equal to the garrison general, and there is nothing wrong with him, if he entrusts it to others, he is afraid that he will ...... The army was suspicious, and the order was not reached. ”

Ma Wensheng wanted to use his experience and majesty as a secretary of the military department to cooperate with Li Dongyang and deny Zhu Feng as the chief military officer.

Including Zhang Mao, they all felt that the emperor was a little stubborn.

Who is bad to use? Even if it is to reactivate Pingjiang Bo Chen Rui, it is better to use Zhu Feng, after all, Chen Liangjiu is only afraid of fire sieves.

Could it be that Zhu Feng was also proposed by that "Zhang Gongshi"?

Zhu Youzhu said: "It will take a few days for Zhu Feng and Zhang Yong to return from the side pass, and after they arrive, I will send another general to accompany them, and there is no need to say anything about this matter." It is still the principle of the first battle of the pass, if Di Yi does not move, then the three armies of Liaodong will not move...... ordered Wang Qiong to immediately take the grain and grass and set off without delay. ”

Xie Qian was very upset at this time, and asked, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, whose proposal is all this?" ”

didn't say it directly, it's Zhang Zhou's kid, right?

But the meaning of the question is obvious.

Zhu Youzhu said coldly: "Elder Xie Ge, if it seems to you that it is my fault for listening to this kind of proposal, then I think I have made many mistakes in the past, so I wouldn't be here to tell you this." ”

This is tantamount to admitting that, that's what Zhang Zhou said.

I just listened to him.

What can you do with me?

If listening to Zhang Zhou's mistakes is all wrong, then I have made many mistakes in the past six months, but I have not made a single mistake until now......

At first, they didn't believe Zhang Zhou, and if they wanted to attack Zhang Zhou's words and suggestions, I would hesitate and consider it.

But now you have to figure out for yourselves, do you have a reason to attack?

"You don't want to say that if things don't go according to his predictions, let me punish him, right? I didn't want to do that, I didn't give him credit for his work before. ”

"And now I am just gambling with him once, if it happens, then the Ming can deter Liaodong; Even if it doesn't work, Daming has nothing to lose. Ladies and gentlemen, I also told you these words before the Battle of Biguan. ”

Zhu Youzhi said this politely.

I summoned you to the inner court, and told you politely, even the exact location, and how the battle was arranged.

What else do you want?

To raise objections, first of all, you have to say, what went wrong with Zhang Zhou's proposal, can you make it clear?

Liu Jian finally couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, the old minister does not object to the use of soldiers, but there is still room for negotiation in the matter of using An Bianbo." ”

This will Liu Jian also see that it is useless to oppose this battle, the emperor has made up his mind, plus this is just a preparation for war and setting a trap, the emperor ordered Liaodong to arrange it, it is okay.

Originally, Duoyan Sanwei had already attacked the border of the Ming Dynasty continuously, was it wrong for the emperor to want Liaodong to strengthen its vigilance?

The battle can be fought, but with Zhu Feng as the commander, it can't.

"Several, let me ask you, if there are people in this world who can obey the arrangements of this battle in their entirety and firmly implement them without the slightest doubt, who else is there in the DPRK except An Bienbo?"

The Emperor suddenly asked a question from a very peculiar angle.

As soon as this remark came out.

Zhang Mao was the first to hear some signs.

What does the emperor mean by this...... Nominally, there is no capital imperial history to preside over the overall situation, but in fact, the commander-in-chief of this battle is Zhang Bingkuan!

Let a person remotely command such a battle in the capital, let's say it's nonsense, it's quite nonsense, but if Zhang Zhou can pinch it, it will be regarded as a half-immortal, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But the key is that it is useless if you can pinch it, it depends on whether the people on the front line can carry out Zhang Zhou's military orders, you say to the east, the front line is not to the west, then even if you calculate the will of heaven very thoroughly, you will still be defeated.

The generals will not be subject to the orders of the army abroad.

Zhang Zhou commanded others...... Even if Wang Weining, who just got a big bargain, will he accept it all?

Accept a ghost.

Wang Weining's combat experience is much stronger than Zhang Zhou's, Wang Weining will listen to a proposal at most, and how to implement the rest looks like an impromptu performance.

But if you change Zhu Feng......

This thing can't do anything else, but in the matter of listening to Zhang Zhou's orders, he will definitely listen to it at a glance, without any correction or hesitation, let him lead the troops to jump into the pit, and this kid will probably jump in without hesitation.

If it is analyzed in this way, then Zhu Feng is simply the most bizarre and alternative number one in the court, and there is no one besides Zhu Feng.

Li Dongyang said stubbornly at this time: "Your Majesty, you can transfer Wang Weining." ”

Zhu Youzhu said: "Elder Li Ge, it's not that I haven't thought about it, but now is the stability of the partial pass more important, or is Liaodong more important?" ”

It's another torture from the soul.

Aren't you civil officials the most repulsive to Wang Yue?

Now in order to dispel the idea of using Zhu Feng, you all have to recommend Wang Weining, but the problem is ...... Now it's just to go to Liaodong to set up a pocket array, wait for Duoyan Sanwei to vote, and use a knife to kill chickens? It's good to transfer Wang Weining to Liaodong, but what about the northwest?

Even the city walls are about to be blown up, and Dayan Khan's Tatar main force has not suffered any losses, even if it is a fire sieve, I dare not say that he will not make a comeback.

Don't use Wang Weining to deter the wolves, let him go to Liaodong to play with Duoyan Sanwei and set up an ambush?

Are you civil servants also starting to lose track of priorities?

Liu Jian really couldn't listen to it, he said: "Your Majesty, even if you insist on this, should you let Zhang Gongsheng go with the army, even if it is to be a staff member, it is better to stay in the capital and control everything?" ”

The words are still clear.

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Mao, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and Ma Wensheng looked at him at the same time.

Or do you dare to say it.

But that's right.

Zhang Zhou still don't take any palace test, let him go to Liaodong, just go back and give him a jinshi, or if he wins the battle, give him a knighthood, don't come to harm our Wenchen!

"This matter is decided first, there is no need to change it, and the palace test has not been carried out, and there is no wait. The battle won't last long, with results expected by late March...... If there is really a place in the northwest that An Bianbo can't deal with, I will add Wang Qiong of Hubu Langzhong as the governor of Liaodong in the right capital. ”

The emperor is also equal to being in them them.

I also made two preparations, Wang Qiong was nominally going to transport grain, but in fact it was a spare chess piece arranged by me.

Zhu Feng can't do it at a critical time, he is on top.

……

……

Several veteran ministers saw that they could not persuade the emperor, so they simply did not persuade them.

The main thing is to persuade, and the angle is not easy to find.

said that Zhang Zhou's prophecy could not be fulfilled, if it was not fulfilled, Ningyuan would not have the next war, and Zhu Feng went to Ningyuan It was also an ornament, and he could not influence the situation in Liaodong alone.

Is that worried that Zhang Zhou's prediction is accurate?

But if it is accurate, that Zhang Zhou uses a Zhu Feng who can firmly carry out his orders, and the probability of achieving a great victory is very high, and there is nothing wrong with using Zhu Feng.

Why do you think that Zhang Zhou can accurately predict that Duoyan Sanwei's next target is Ning Yuan, but he still thinks that he can be inappropriate in his strategy for Zhu Feng?

It's not easy to cut in.

In the eyes of civil officials, there is a high probability that there will be no trouble in Liaodong, or that there will be no war in Ningyuan.

Then since he didn't know if Duoyan Sanwei would come next, or where he would attack, then the emperor didn't need Zhu Feng to go to Ningyuan to set up a pocket formation...... It all depends on your own mood, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, if you are happy.
