Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1236 In the West Warm Pavilion
In a short period of time, he has occupied the whole town of Ningxia, and the proud Dabai is gathering all the generals to discuss the follow-up arrangements.

Yan Chengen was the first to congratulate him: "Now my father has occupied the whole town of Ningxia, only the flat prisoners are left, but they are also surrounded by our army. Especially since my father smashed the Guyuan army, the first-line prefectures and counties in Guyuan have returned to the wind. Gaoguang was threatened by the Xining Huoluochi brothers in the west, and his father suppressed it in the north. Now, although he has gathered troops, he is not sure whether he will dare to go north. In addition, the Hetao Boshuoketu cavalry is cooperating, with more than [-] soldiers, occupying a dangerous position. , can already be called the king and plot the land, and achieve hegemony!"

Liu Dongyang didn't care whether he was king or not, he only worried about when the imperial court would attack, and eagerly hoped that he would have a plan to deal with it, so he changed the subject and said to Qibai: "As of now, the imperial court will definitely send troops to attack, How to deal with it, I still need to plan as soon as possible. Prince Chan has been in battle for a long time, and he uses his troops like a god, and I hope to give instructions to the brothers on how to deploy.

As soon as this statement came out, Xu Chao and others also agreed, but no one continued to talk about proclaiming king after Cheng'en's words.

Walking in the hall of worship, two strategies came to mind, and he said to the generals: "How to deal with it, I have two strategies for you to refer to. The first is to take advantage of the fact that the imperial court has not responded in time, and use suspicious soldiers to deploy Guyuan and attack Xi'an. , while the main force is secretly advancing eastward and attacking the capital! If the capital can be captured, and the emperor and the prince can be captured, the world will be in chaos! The vassal kings from all over the world will fight to be emperors, and each of the officials will have their own positions. If we are in a group, then we can be the king and tyrant! It's just that the three Jin regions are known as the rivers and mountains inside and outside, with heavy passes and mountains, and there are so many warriors that it is difficult to advance lightly. , in fact, the outcome is unpredictable.”

When Xu Chao heard this, he immediately shook his head and continued, "How can this strategy be feasible? Ma Gui, a famous general from Shanxi, left Datong, and his Ma Jiada soldiers were unusually brave, and in the past, even the Great Khan of Altan dared to fight in person. Li Rusong, the son of Li Chengliang, is also leading troops in Taiyuan. His Liaodong cavalry under his command is well-equipped, and he is not at a disadvantage in the battle with the Chahar headquarters of the Great Khan of Tumen. If you go straight to Shanxi, I'm afraid you won't be able to reach the capital at all."

Liu Dongyang also echoed: "The mountains and mountains in Shanxi, once blocked, will no longer have the effect of a surprise attack, and the two towns of Xuanfu and Datong are in the forefront of the nine sides, and should not be underestimated. Moreover, in the early years of Wanli, Qi Jiguang received the full force of the cabinet. Support, build the Great Wall in the north, train soldiers, control firearms and study warfare, and the defense around the capital has been renovated. Our army lacks artillery, how can we easily conquer it?"

Xu Chao continued: "As for bypassing the customs, this move is not feasible. Recently, the imperial court has ordered Gao Qiuzhen to be the strategist of the seven towns. This man has won several battles in Annan and Dingbei. He formed an amicable relationship with Tumt Chechen Khan, and Tumt’s [-] iron cavalry might be able to be dispatched by him. Our army detours outside the fortress, and it may be feasible in Hetao. Once out of Hetao, I am afraid that Hannaji will be taken away. Surrounding, is it the way to use troops?"

Qiaobai replied: "Since it is impossible to advance the capital, the second is to stand firm and prepare for war. When the imperial soldiers arrive, they will be proud of them first, and then choose the opportunity to wipe them out. When the imperial court readjusts and deploys troops, the fire will be red, and the rabbits will be exhausted." At that time, our army will go south to Guyuan and Xi'an again, and occupy the whole territory of Shaanxi. In this way, Huoluochi can go east to Xining Prefecture, occupy Zhuanglangwei and other places, and join us. , both offensive and defensive. After the clansmen move inward, the number of soldiers obtained can reach 20. In my opinion, this plan is feasible, and the key lies in how to wipe out the official army and grasp the timing of going south to Xi'an."

The generals pondered for a long time and felt that this idea was finally more reliable, so they all nodded and said yes.

Then Qi Bai ordered that Chengen lead two thousand troops to guard the thousand households in Lingzhou, Xu Chao lead two thousand troops to guard the thousand households in Xingwu, order Jiyun to lead two thousand troops to guard the thousand households in Weizhou, and Liu Chuan Two thousand white-collar soldiers guarded the central guard's thousand households, five thousand troops were assembled to besiege the Pingyao, and three hundred garrisons were stationed in each of the 36 forts.

Bosuo Ketu led the main force to take a detour outside the customs, and made the illusion of crossing the Yellow River east to attack Shanxi, in order to contain the Ming army in Shanxi, so that they did not dare to "leave the nest", while the rest of Boshuo Ketu's troops were stationed in the Huamachi area. Arming is considered to have received half of the spoils in advance.

As for Qi Bai himself, he, together with Liu Dongyang, Tu Wenxiu, and Chen Chengchong, personally led [-] troops from Ningxia to prepare for the imperial conquest.

On the same night that Zhaibai and others discussed their actions, Gao Wushi, who had been living in the Beijing North Camp of the Imperial Guard, suddenly received an urgent summon from the Supervisor of Literacy, and the Emperor Lu Ye called him into the palace to discuss urgent military affairs.

Gao Wushi knew that the emperor heard the news only a little later than him, so he had already thought about the summons, and regardless of the spring cold, he approved the clothes and left.

He found that when the war broke out, the court's communication would be faster than usual. For example, he learned about the change in Ningxia yesterday morning, and the emperor responded this evening, which was more than a day faster than the previous time.

For more than a day, Gao Wushi was not waiting for the emperor to summon him. While he was bored, he also issued a series of instructions to Jinghua as a response for the next period of time.It's just that the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of them depends on the performance of the northwest side, especially the city of Ningxia.

Gao Jinglue, who was not afraid of danger, even took the time to squint on the carriage for a while. When he was woken up, the carriage had already arrived at the gate of the imperial city.

When he got out of the car, he saw Chen Ju and people guarding the door of Di'anmen. When he saw Gao pragmatically getting out of the car, he walked towards him and waved to the people around him.

Gao pragmatically looked at it, but an internal eunuch brought a royal horse over.Chen Ju didn't say anything polite, but said solemnly: "Kung Pao, I know you should have received the news of the change in Ningxia, so I won't go into details, but there is one thing you need to be careful about: the emperor is right now. Gao System's performance is quite dissatisfied, it is best not to try to protect it."

Gao Wushi nodded slightly, sighed again, and said, "I have done my best, and I really can't save it now. I can only try to save the situation. Fortunately, I have been concerned about Ningxia before, but it is not without consideration, Wanhua. You can rest assured."

Chen Ju's expression relaxed a little, and he didn't say more. He pointed to the royal horse and said, "The military situation is urgent. This horse is a special gift from the emperor. It can walk in the Forbidden City. Gong Bao mounts it."

Gao Wushi didn't say much. He walked over and got on the horse, and his movements were as skilled as a horse on a horse. Chen Ju was also stunned when he saw that, and quickly got on another horse himself.

At this time, Chen Ju should have led the way, but Gao and pragmatic riding skills were obviously better than the eunuchs who accompanied him, and even the palace guards couldn't compare to him. In the end, he was the one who led the way.

There are really no rules tonight. Chen Ju did not take Gao Wushi as a foreign court official from Donghuamen, but after passing through Meishan, he was brought in directly from Xuanwumen - the south of Xuanwumen is the harem. , it is generally impossible for foreign court officials to go here.

Gao Wushi couldn't help but ask a question, Chen Ju only said: "The emperor said to be as soon as possible, other things are trivial. Besides, I can't wait to go to the east and west six palaces, Nanqi Qianqing Palace only needs to avoid Kunning Palace, save money Save time."

Gao Wushi hesitated for a while, but did not insist on detouring, so the group quickly bypassed Kunning Palace and went straight to the outside of Qianqing Palace.

The Qianqing Palace is brightly lit at the moment, and it seems that there are other people there.Gao Wushi didn't think much about it, and only asked Chen Ju to go to report, but Chen Ju said, "No, the emperor has a decree, just report in front of the palace." In other words, just go to the door and report again.

Waiting for the high pragmatism to be approved to enter, as soon as he entered the Xinuang Pavilion, he found that there were still people there, but there was only one person, the first assistant Shen Shixing.

Gao Wushi went up to see the emperor and Shoufu, Shen Shixing just nodded slightly because the emperor was there, and the emperor waved his hand and said, "Please, if you come later, I will send a second group of people to find you. Yes. You read this military newspaper first."

In fact, the military report is not very good, Gao pragmatic is very clear in his heart, but the emperor's military report is still different, mainly because Gao Guangxian's apology is attached.

Gao Wushi first pretended to read the military newspaper, and then read Gao Guangxian's sparse text, pondering.

Seeing that he had finished, Zhu Yijun moved his lips slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything. He seemed hesitant, and looked at Shen Shixing again.

Shen Shixing coughed lightly, as if clearing his throat, and said, "What do you think about this military report and the memorial?"

Gao Wushi pondered: "Ningxia has reversed at this time. I am afraid that it is not only the town of Ningxia that has changed. Yuanfu, the situation in Hetao and Qinghai is also very bad in my opinion. It is best for the cabinet to take measures."

Shen Shixing frowned slightly and said indifferently: "The cabinet has its own considerations for the cabinet. Now I'm asking you what you think of this memorial."

Gao Wu looked at the emperor from the corner of his eyes, and replied with a little surprise: "Gao Guang has already pleaded guilty to resign. If such a big thing happened under his hands, the governors of the three sides will of course resign. As for the conviction, this matter can only be resigned. The decision is made by the saint, how can Yuan Fu ask me?"

Shen Shixing cursed inwardly: Do you think I want to ask you?If it weren't for the emperor being concerned about your thoughts, and even refusing to ask in person, how could I have opened this mouth?
But when Gao Wushi said so, he had no choice but not to answer, so he had to maintain the style just now and said lightly: "You are the seven towns and the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, and you are in charge of the five (Baoding and Changping are not strictly speaking" "Nine Sides"). For military affairs, you must have your own opinions, and I am the chief assistant, so it is necessary to consult."

This remark was a bit like the first assistant. After listening to Gao Wushi, he smiled and bowed slightly, and said, "What Yuan Fu taught is that the students have been taught." Then he bowed his hands to the emperor: "Emperor, this minister thinks that Gao Guang should be the first."

Zhu Yijun breathed a sigh of relief and sighed softly: "Then what is his crime, and how should he deal with it?"

"Zheng is incompetent and delays the military aircraft." Gao pragmatically said calmly: "Suo Na goes to Beijing, let's investigate further."

Shen Shixing moved aside, his lips moved, but he hesitated for a moment, then swallowed the words back.Originally, according to his thoughts, Gao Guangxian, the backbone of the Jin Party, had an accident. Of course, it should be directly killed with a stick, but after all, the other party is the governor of the three sides with the title of Minister of Military Affairs. just killed.

Although Gao Wushi's statement just now seemed stern, and even came out with "incompetence and delaying the military aircraft", he did not convict him, but only said that he would conduct a detailed investigation, which of course could not satisfy Shen Shixing.But the problem is that Gao Pragmatist used another "suo to go to Beijing", which is not easy to say that he shielded his comrades - they are all locked, so it can be seen that he is guilty by default, and it is a serious crime. How can you say that he shielded his comrades?

Zhu Yijun didn't have to think so carefully, he was just afraid that Gao pragmatism would say nothing about Gao Guangxian's business, which would be difficult. After all, the only person he could rely on next was Gao pragmatism.Therefore, as long as Gao pragmatism is willing to give up Gao Guangxian, the next thing will be easy.

As for what crime Gao Guangxian should be convicted of, there is no need to worry about it: he doesn't know how to run away, so what is the urgent need to convict him, of course, he should suppress the Ningxia matter first.

"I think it's okay, so let's do it this way." Zhu Yijun didn't want to waste time on this matter, so the topic changed: "Gao Guang will resign first, who will take over as the governor of the three sides? ?"

Shen Shixing glanced at Gao Pragmatic, and said lightly, "Gao Jing is familiar with border affairs, so let's ask Gao Jing to give a brief introduction."

"Gao Lun doesn't dare to do it." Gao Pragmatism was really rude, and he bowed his hands slightly, and then said to the emperor: "I have two candidates for the emperor's reference."

Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "You say it."

Gao pragmatically said: "Nanjing Wei Xuezeng, or Xuan Da Zheng Luo."

Zhu Yijun pondered for a moment, then asked Shen Shixing, "What do you think of Yuan Su?"

Shen Shixing said calmly: "Zheng Luo has been in Xuanda for many years, and now Ningxia is in chaos, and Tuolu Boshuoketu participated in it while he was seriously ill, so Shanxi may not see too much peace and tranquility. Therefore, the minister thinks that Zheng Luo is inconvenient. Move lightly, and still focus on supervising Jin.”

Zhu Yijun said, "Is that Wei Xuezeng?"

Wei Xuezeng and Zheng Luo are both high-ranking parties, and neither is a good choice for Shen Shixing, but Shen Shixing doesn't want to get involved in this matter at all, so they both choose whoever is the same.If Zheng Luo is not chosen, Shen Shixing is really considering the stability of Shanxi, so it doesn't matter if Wei Xuezeng goes to the three sides.

As for why Shen Shi did not want to intervene, it was actually very simple: Ningxia had such a big mess, and Hetao and Qinghai were both uneasy.

The corruption in the northwest is a mess of the Gao Party. What does he have to do when he is involved, why should he help them clean up?It may be said that it is for the sake of merit, but this merit is not easy to contend for.How could he find someone who could quell the Northwest Rebellion on Shen Shixing?
Counting with his fingers, Li Chengliang was the only soldier in the Heart School who could do well, but Li Chengliang had a very heavy task in Liaodong, and it was impossible to send him to the northwest to eat sand.

So take a step back, Li Chengliang's eldest son, Li Rusong, performed very well in the Battle of Monan last time, and it seems that he can also use it.However, Li Rusong's headquarters only had [-] cavalrymen brought from Liaodong to Taiyuan, and the rest of the troops and horses were only under his command in name. Of course, the emperor could give him permission, but... hehe, the three towns of Xuanda and the three sides of Shaanxi are all In the real school's territory, as long as Gao Shishi secretly instructed, unless Li Rusong can rely on his [-] cavalry to cover the entire northwest, even if he has a great ability, he will be deflated in Ningxia.

Shen Shixing saved others by himself, and felt that letting Li Rusong go to Ningxia at this time was completely pushing him into the fire pit, so he would rather give up this opportunity to grab credit than do it.

"I think that Wei Xuezeng may not be the best candidate, but at present it is suitable." Shen Shixing replied.

Zhu Yijun frowned slightly: "Since it's not the best candidate, why would it be appropriate? Mr. Shen, who do you think is the best candidate?"

Shen Shixing threw one hand at Gao pragmatically, and said, "Is the best candidate, far away in the horizon and in front of you, but Gao Jing has other important tasks, and he lacks the skills to do it, so he can't go to Ningxia."
