Suzhou 800 li rushed into Beijing, and what brought Jiangxia to their six ministers was a news that they didn't want to hear: "Yili sent troops to attack the Ming Dynasty, and the northwest border pass was urgent, and the imperial court urgently needed to send troops to support." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After receiving this news, none of the six people dared to delay too much, and all of them immediately entered the palace and gathered in the Qianqing Palace to discuss the matter.

When it comes to Yili, I believe that people who are familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty know this place to a greater or lesser extent. In fact, it is the Eastern Chagatai Khanate of the Yuan Dynasty, and casual outsiders mention that Yili Jiangli is a whole country. But in fact, Yili Lili has basically been divided into four tribes for a long time, and the nominal Khan of Yili Lili cannot fully control the four major tribes at all.

Among them, the four major tribes should be ranked in order of strength: Wusizang, Tumut, Yarkand and Turpan.

However, according to the 800-mile expedited battle report sent by Suzhou, the main troop contributor to the attack on the Daming border pass this time turned out to be Turpan.

In Da Ming's impression, Turpan's strength has always been the weakest of the four major tribes in Yili. In fact, in terms of strength, let alone Turpan. Even if it is Wu Sizang or Tumut, it stands to reason that they should not dare to use troops against the Ming Dynasty. After all, the difference in strength between the two countries is not a star.

Now that Turpan dares to do it, there are only two possibilities. The first is that Turpan knows that the new young master of the Ming Dynasty has no time to fight on a large scale, so he is ready to take this opportunity to fish in troubled waters. If that's the case, then Jiang Xia and they don't have to worry too much.

After all, from the perspective of the whole country, although a small loss of a part is also very important, it cannot hurt the fundamentals.

I'm afraid of the second possibility, that is, Warat and Turpan united.

Of the four major tribes, only Turpan and Warat are bordered. Now it is brazenly attacking Da Ming with its weakest strength, and if you guess that it has the secret support of Warat behind it, this possibility is very high.

If it is really Varat supporting, the worse situation could lead to a cascade of problems. For example, the other three major tribes in Yili will also participate in order to get a piece of the pie.

Wang Qiong is the secretary of the military department, and the urgent war report is naturally recited by him.

After reading it, Wang Qiong put down the battle report and glanced at the other five people, especially Jiang Xia and Yang Tinghe. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is roughly the case with the contents of the urgent paperwork, and I hope that you will give me instructions as soon as possible on what to do next. ”

"There are only two ways to deal with it today, one is war, and the other is peace. If it is a war, I am afraid that there are many drawbacks. It's still a cliché, the emperor is young, and if he starts a war, I am afraid that it will cause many people to think of fishing in troubled waters. If it is said to be harmony, it is not impossible, after all, it is also possible to make it and my ......."

"There is absolutely no peace, we must fight!"

Before Xia Yuanming could speak, Jiang Xia interrupted him. From Xia Yuanming's words, it is not difficult to hear that he is the Lord and the Lord. But Jiang Xia directly used words like "absolutely" and "must" to seal what Xia Yuanming wanted to say next.

Xia Yuanming glanced at Jiang Xia deeply, and then said, "I wish Lord Wen Taifu to see you." ”

Jiang Xia shook his head and said unceremoniously: "To tell the truth, I don't have anything to see, but I know that the current situation can only fight, and must not be peaceful." ”

"Now is indeed the time when my new Ming monarch has just been established, and the country is unstable. But it is precisely at this time that we should choose war rather than peace.

The reason is very simple, the young people from all over the Ming Dynasty are afraid that they all know about the Northwest Border Pass at this moment. Even if there is something I don't know, I'm sure I'll know soon.

They're all looking at how determined we are going to deal with it. If we retreat, then they will think that we are afraid, and they will continue to test our bottom line step by step.

At that time, we will be exhausted, and the majesty of the court will not survive.

If we choose to play strongly, on the one hand, we can show our national prestige. On the other hand, it may also let those who are young see the attitude of the imperial court clearly. Let them no longer dare to have any contempt for the court, or ill intentions.

Therefore, whether Daming Jiangshan Sheji can be stable depends on how we deal with it this time. So this time, we can only fight, not peace. What do you think?"

After Jiang Xia finished speaking, he looked at everyone and asked, but after he said this, who of the five people could still say anything? After all, Jiang Xia had already said everything, and he still said it so absolutely.

Jiang Xia didn't know what kind of idea he had, and after he finished speaking, he also looked at Xia Yuanming. Xia Yuanming's face was basically full of the expression of "what he said is so reasonable, I am speechless".

In the end, Xia Yuanming nodded and said, "What Master Taifu said is reasonable. ”

"I also agree with what Taifu said. Yang Yiqing said.

"I also feel very reasonable. Li Dongyang said.

Now three of the six ministers have expressed their support for Jiang Xia, plus Jiang Xia's own vote. Therefore, the choice of war or peace, there is basically no suspense.

So here comes the problem. Since it is a war, who should lead the troops into battle? How many soldiers and horses should be led into battle?

There are too many issues involved.

You must know that the Ming Dynasty today has about 700,000 troops, which are mainly divided into two parts: local and Beijing. Local soldiers and horses are guarding one side, and they will generally not be easily mobilized without special major events, otherwise there will be a suspicion of demolishing the east wall and making up the west wall.

In this way, it must be the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp that need to be mobilized.

How many soldiers and horses are there in the Beijing camp? Excluding the Jinyi Guard, there are only about 200,000 soldiers and horses in the sky. This time, to gallop to the northwest border pass, you have to bring at least 100,000 soldiers and horses.

Choosing whoever is the main general basically means that this person will control half of the military power in Beijing.

For example, the chief general of the army this time is appointed by Yang Tinghe and a series of people, so Yang Tinghe's control of military power will go further. If it is from the Jiangxia series, it means that Jiangxia officially entered the Ming Dynasty.

So when Yang Tinghe also nodded and admitted, "It is indeed time to fight". None of the six people spoke first about the matter of leading the army, and the atmosphere of the entire Qianqing Palace seemed a little weird.

There are two candidates in Jiang Xia's mind, one is Gao Jia. After all, he used to be the commander of Zheng Sanpin, and his ability to lead troops to fight is quite not weak. But this can basically only be thought about, after all, Gao Jia is only a sixth-grade official position now, and it is impossible to serve as the coach.

And the other one, Jiang Xia currently thinks that the most likely candidate to succeed is Wang Shouren, who has a good relationship with him. After all, he is the one who Wang Qiong picked up with one hand, and Jiang Xia's ability to lead the troops has also been experienced and witnessed by himself. Jiang Xia is also very trustworthy about these characters.

Therefore, Jiang Xia tentatively decided on this person in his heart, but in order to avoid suspicion, he remained silent and waited for Wang Qiong to mention it first.

Everyone was silent for about a few minutes, and finally Yang Tinghe spoke first. He said lightly: "Since it has been decided to face the battle, who will lead the troops, you should discuss it together." The old man threw bricks and led the jade to mention one person first, the squire of the Nanjing Military Department, Yan Song. ”

"Yan Song?" When Jiang Xia heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed.

This name believes that even people who are not very familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty should have some memory, and he was one of the famous traitors in the Ming Dynasty and even in the entire history of China.

If this person is really allowed to lead the troops, not to mention that the war can go smoothly. Even if he wins, Jiang Xia will never allow this person to take charge of the military power of the Beijing battalion.

Jiang Xia didn't think about it, and directly objected: "No! Yan Song definitely can't." ”

Yang Tinghe was previously the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and Yan Song is now the squire of the Nanjing Military Department. Obviously, Yan Song is Yang Tinghe's person. No wonder Yang Tinghe will seize this opportunity and push Yan Song to the top.

Yang Tinghe glanced at Jiang Xia with some confusion and asked, "Doesn't Lord Taifu know something about Yan Song, otherwise why would he oppose it so fiercely?"

Jiang Xia nodded and said, "This person is good at calligraphy and green words, I have heard some people mention them." It's just that as far as I know, this person has no talent, but can only flatter and play with power. Rushing to aid the northwest is such a big event, and I am afraid it is too child's fun to let a person who has never led a soldier be the main general, right?"

"Master Taifu, hearsay should not be taken seriously. Yang Tinghe said with some displeasure.

Jiang Xia accused Yan Song of being "flattering", and Yan Song was a servant of the Nanjing Military Department and a subordinate of Yang Tinghe. Obviously, the "Shang" of Jiangxia's sentence of "flattery" alludes to Yang Tinghe.

Jiang Xia still shook his head and said, "Anyway, if it's Yan Song, I will never agree, if it's Wang Shouren, I think it's okay to consider it." ”

As soon as Jiang Xia finished speaking, he glanced at Wang Qiong meaningfully, Wang Qiong was surprised and confused, and was still a little nervous.

This Wang Shouren is obviously his person, why did Jiang Xia suddenly mention it?

Wang Qiong's heart was suddenly nervous, he was afraid that Yang Tinghe would misunderstand himself because of this, thinking that he was swaying towards Jiang Xia's side, so Jiang Xia deliberately gave him such a benefit.

But Wang Qiong had to admit that Wang Shouren was indeed a good candidate, so after a little weighing, Wang Qiong still said: "Yangming is indeed suitable." ”

After speaking, Wang Qiong looked at Yang Tinghe and asked for his opinion with her eyes. But Yang Tinghe was silent, did not speak, and did not give Wang Qiong any hints in his eyes.

Jiang Xia smiled and asked Yang Tinghe: "Lord Yang, what do you think of the candidate of Jiangxi Governor Wang Shouren?"

Yang Tinghe was silent for a while, then put his hand on his forehead and said, "The old man is slightly unwell, so it is not appropriate to decide such a major matter for the time being." That's it for today, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

Jiang Xia frowned, Yang Tinghe was obviously using the word "drag". Could it be that this old guy has any other tricks?

Jiang Xia thought for a while and said, "Okay, since Lord Yang is unwell, then let's leave it like this for the time being, and we'll discuss it tomorrow." It's just that the war at the northwest border is urgent, and I feel that it is better to decide the matter of the main general as soon as possible. ”

After that, the crowd dispersed and left.

As soon as Yang Tinghe left the palace, he immediately took a carriage to "Yazhu...... rg
