Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1238 Negotiated
Ningxia Governor Liang Wenmeng lost his black gauze cap, and the position of Ningxia Governor had to be rearranged.Since Yuan Fu was present, the emperor must first seek his opinion.

Shen Shixing was waiting for this opportunity, and immediately said: "This minister recommends the governor of Guizhou, Ye Mengxiong, to adjust Ningxia."

As soon as these words came out, Gao pragmatic brows immediately wrinkled.

Ye Mengxiong... This person is not an incompetent person, but unfortunately there are two problems: first, this person is a rising star that the Xin School has focused on training in recent years;

Ye Mengxiong was on the gold list for 44 years in Jiajing, and it stands to reason that Gao Gong is still his teacher, but he is a man of mind, so of course he would not worship under Gao Gongmen, and because he is not ranked high on the gold list, he is only among the top three. He was in the middle, so he did not stay in Beijing, but directly served as the county magistrate of Fuqing.

In the second year of Longqing, he was transferred to the capital, served as the head of the household department, and moved to supervise the censor, and was usually very active.In the fourth year of Longqing, an important turning point came--he clearly opposed Alta's tribute, which was contrary to the concept of high arch and high pragmatism, and because of his fierce words during the Shangshu period, he angered the emperor, so he was demoted to Shaanxi Layang County Chancellor .

However, his actions attracted the attention of the leaders of the Xin School, and he began to focus on training them. Soon after, he moved to the right of Guide to push the official, and then transferred to the head of the Nanjing household department to supervise Fengyangcang.In the second year of Wanli, he was transferred to the Ministry of Housing, and soon became the prefect of Ganzhou, but he resigned because of Ding You.

At the end of the mourning period, Shen Shixing still did not forget him, and immediately filled him with the prefect of Anqing.In the tenth year of Wanli, when Guo Pu and Zhang Siwei handed over power, Shen Shixing worked for him again, so he served as the military envoy in Zhejiang.In this position, he created "Ye Gong Shen Gun" and handed it over to the Xu family in Songjiang to prepare for military private use as a "prevention against Japanese pirates".

It should be noted that this Ye Gongshen gun is not a musket, but a vehicle-mounted gun.Moreover, he adopted the idea of ​​Jinghua artillery. Instead of copper, he used pure iron to make the gun body. Before that, only Jinghua had replaced the army gun material with steel. Other military enterprises or yamen did not have such technology, or it was impossible to Control the size while maintaining quality and quantity.

Ye Gongshen guns are slightly different from Jinghua's "One Two Three Four" guns, which are only divided into Tian, ​​Di and Xuan 280 guns.The Tianzi Shen Gun weighs 3 jins (already converted, the same below) and is 5 feet 200 inches long; the Dizi Shen gun weighs 3 catties and is 2 feet 150 inches long, and the Xuanzi Shen gun weighs 3 catties and is 1 feet 2 inch long.Each gun has a three-wheeled gun carriage, with two wheels in the front, the height of the wheels is 5 feet 1 inches, and there is a wheel at the back, the height of the wheels is 3 feet [-] inches, the front is high and the back is low, and the muzzle is high.

To put it simply, this Ye Gongshen gun is a simplified version of the Jinghua artillery, which is just in the middle of the first and second guns, the second and third guns, and the third and fourth guns.Although it was later measured by the Ministry of War that the power of its artillery was slightly inferior to the equivalent level of Jinghua, it was still mass-produced because it was the first privately-owned military enterprise in the south. An important reason is that, after all, the officials of the Heart School in the south are very powerful, and the southern provinces have never been areas that Jinghua can easily penetrate.

Because of this contribution, Ye Mengxiong was soon transferred to Yongping Bingbei Road, which was very disgusting and pragmatic. Yongping Road was under the jurisdiction of Kaiping, which made things difficult for the three major factories in Jinghua for a while, and said that the three factories were disturbing the people. For a while, it was said that there were too many privately owned family members in the three major factories. Thanks to that, Gao Wushi had already returned to Beijing at that time. After Shen Shixing gave Ye Mengxiong the evaluation of "incorruptibility first", he found a way to transfer him as Shandong Suzheng and Integrity Visitor. , this is cleaned up.The envoy to clean up the government was a temporary dispatch, and soon Ye Mengxiong moved to the right as the governor of Guizhou, until today.

To put it simply, Ye Mengxiong still has some abilities, but he is very unwilling to deal with the Shi School, and this person has "high fighting spirit". No matter what disputes arise between Daming and the surrounding forces, if you ask Ye Mengxiong's attitude, this guy will definitely be a word. :Dry!

If there were a few more words, it would be: Fuck it all!
Just like Alta granting tribute at that time, Gao Gong has already explained the reasons for granting tribute, and also proposed the specific steps of "Western Huaidong System", which is completely in line with the actual situation of Daming at that time, but Ye Mengxiong just disagreed and continued to sparse , The words fiercely expressed that the only way to fight the Mongols is to fight to the end, and there is no need to pull one faction and fight another faction.

Brother, do you want to tell me if you can call me?
It is for these two reasons that when Shen Shixing mentioned Ye Mengxiong, Gao Shixing frowned.First, Ye Mengxiong, a stinky Xin School official, became the governor of Ningxia, and he may face some troubles of disobeying or even disobeying orders. .

However, Shen Shixing's timing was too good. He didn't compete with Gao Wushi for the candidate of the trilateral governor just now, and he personally "recommended" Gao Wushi. If Gao Wushi opposed his proposal at this time, it would be a bit awkward. Some of them are unreasonable, and even have the suspicion of pampering them.

Gao Wushi was not Ye Mengxiong, and he would not make a fuss without considering the reality, so he knew that he could not speak out at the moment, so he was expressionless and silent.

But Zhu Yijun no longer remembered Ye Mengxiong's deeds. After hearing Shen Shixing's recommendation, he subconsciously asked Gao Pragmatism: "Seeking truth, what do you think?"

Gao Wushi sighed in his heart, but he still had a calm look on his face, and said lightly: "I don't know Ye Futai very well, and I don't know his personality and ability very well, but since Yuan Fu recognized it, There must be something to behold.”

The meaning of this is very simple: I don't know anything, don't ask me about this, and don't ask me if you are in trouble.

However, Zhu Yijun didn't think much about it. After all, he also knew that Gao Wushi had served twice in the past few years. He subconsciously felt that Gao Wushi might not know the people and affairs of the court as well as before, so it was not unusual for him to be unfamiliar with someone.

But if you don't understand, it means you don't object, so Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "In that case, let Ye Mengxiong go to Ningxia... Yuan Fu, Ye Mengxiong is still in Guizhou, how long will it take to go to Ningxia?"

Shen Shixing thought about it and said, "If he walked from Sichuan to Hanzhong, he would be considered to have entered Shaanxi. Although there are many mountain roads, it will always be faster than Wei Xuezeng." Then he paused and glanced pragmatically at Gao Gao. He glanced at him, smiled softly, and said, "Besides, there is only one Pinglu city left in Ningxia now. I'm afraid that the governor will have nothing to do for a while, but it's okay to do it later. I hope that Gao Jingluo will advance quickly and wait for Ye Mengxiong to arrive. , I just need to clean up the battlefield."

Zhu Yijun only thought that Mr. Shen was joking or saying something auspicious, and he laughed when he heard it, but didn't think deeply.

However, as a person who "calculates too much", although Gao Wushi also has a smile on his face, he can't help but murmur in his heart, and secretly said: Shen Yaoquan has repeatedly suggested that I can "quickly" and "quickly" to suppress the rebellion. What does this mean?Does he want to excite the general, or does he want to kill?

As a highly pragmatic person, it is impossible for him to believe that Shen Shixing has "good intentions" for him, just like Shen Shixing's performance tonight, giving up first is for the final gain.

In essence, his acting style is somewhat similar to Gao pragmatism.

The personnel issues are almost arranged, and the next step is to discuss the specific military affairs. Zhu Yijun first asked: "Seek the truth, the situation in the northwest is bad enough. You led the Shanxi reinforcements into Shaanxi, and Boshuoketu and Yanbai are you. I'm not too worried about the direction of the soldiers, but the distance between Huo Luochi and Shilitu is a bit far, I'm worried that you won't be able to reach them for a while... Do you want to send some troops from Sichuan to support them?"

Gao Wushi did not answer directly, but instead asked first: "If the Sichuan army goes north, will the soldiers be paid from Shenjing or Nanjing?"

What he said was not a random question, because the soldiers and horses in Sichuan were usually managed by the Nanjing Military Department rather than the Beijing Military Department.This is like when Liu Xian was the commander-in-chief of Sichuan and was transferred to the southern provinces to fight, Nanjing was responsible for food and salaries, and even after he stayed in Langshan, he was made difficult by the Duke of Wei's government.

But there is a situation here, that is, if the soldiers from the south are transferred to the north, the Beijing Military Department will generally be responsible for food and wages, just like the use and supply of Qi's army.Sichuan belongs to the management of the Nanjing Military Department, but if the Sichuan Army enters Shaanxi, it will be regarded as entering the direct jurisdiction of the Beijing Military Department.

Obviously, the reason why Gao Wushi asked this was that he did not want to increase the burden on the court, and Zhu Yijun immediately responded.

However, Zhu Yijun had other considerations, and frowned and asked, "I understand what you mean, but now is not the time to think about money - quelling a rebellion is different from taking the initiative to attack. The latter can wait, but the former cannot. Be honest, if this money It has to be spent, so it must be spent, don't worry about that yet."

Gao Wushi was quite relieved to hear that although the emperor was young, he was very careful about his priorities, and his years of "accompanying reading" were not in vain.

So he smiled and said: "Since the emperor said so, naturally the minister is not afraid of 'the more the better'."

Zhu Yijun couldn't help but smile when he heard it, and said: "Well, what can the Sichuan army be mobilized? After you return to the Ministry of War, discuss with Liang Menglong and explain it in the previous article. Now let's talk about the mobilization of Shanxi troops and horses. You are ready to mobilize. Who's going? How much?"

Gao pragmatically said: "Ma Gui and Li Rusong. Datong is [-], Taiyuan is [-]."

Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Ma Gui and Li Rusong...they both have the skills, but you only have [-] soldiers together, will it not be enough? The military newspaper said. , I have already had [-] troops in Kuaibai, and Boshuoketu's side is estimated to be able to dispatch at least [-] to [-] cavalry, not to mention Huo Luochi and Shili Rabbit. It was already clear earlier that they added It can make up to fifty thousand at most."

Bo Shuo Ketu's so-called 6 to 3 people are actually just the strength of his headquarters without large-scale mobilization. In fact, as Jinong, if he really wants to be ruthless, [-] to [-] people can also be gathered.It's just that the strength of the Ordos Department is somewhat scattered, and there are more than [-] to nearly [-] cavalry there.

It can also be seen from this that Tumet, who usually maintains a force of about [-] troops, is indeed not much stronger than Ordos.However, the population of Tumet is more than double that of Ordos. If you really want to mobilize to fight, the advantage is still relatively obvious, not to mention that Tumet already has some agricultural areas, and the potential for long-term war is obviously better than that of Ordos.

As for Huo Luochi and Shili Rabbit, it has been stated before that [-] is the limit after the two of them work together, and it is usually difficult to maintain.

But in any case, Gao Wushi only transferred 3 people from Shanxi, which seems to be too little.And the key is that there is no shortage of soldiers in the three towns of Shanxi. Xuanfu has 13, Datong has 12, and Taiyuan has 30 to [-]. The total is just over [-]. Why only call one-tenth of it?

However, Gao Wushi shook his head and said, "The so-called 3 troops of the Xie worship, among which the elite will not exceed [-] at most - originally there were only [-] troops in Ningxia Town, so they can't all be elites, right? And his extra [-] Ten thousand people, except for the [-] private soldiers he has raised, the rest are probably newly recruited mobs, which are not worth mentioning.

Although Huo Luochi and Zhuo Li Tu Er Liao combined could have 5 people, as long as Buri Hatu returns to the east, with the two of them's abilities, it may be very difficult for them to break through the side wall between Nian Bo and Zhuang Langwei. Difficult, as long as Guyuan can maintain supply to these two important places, it can be temporarily stabilized, so there is no need to rush for a while.

As for Boshuo Ketu...I still have some ways to try it out. If it can be done, maybe it won't take a big battle to get him back to Hetao. "

Zhu Yijun was startled for a moment, then overjoyed, and asked, "Is there any other way? Come and listen!"

Gao Yushi was more serious, and said calmly: "The solution is to exert pressure from various sources: first, please ask King Shunyi to gather an army, and let him claim that Tumote's 15 elite cavalry have been prepared in Fengzhou Beach, and they will march south at any time; The troops of the three towns were frequently mobilized, and at the same time, rumors were quietly released, saying that the 3 people led by the ministers were just a cover. In fact, the imperial court planned to mobilize 20 troops to flatten the Hetao with the cooperation of Tumot; Le Zhun Gen Ha Tun and Qie Jin asked the two siblings to force Bo Shuo Ketu back."

Taigale Jungenhatun is Boshuoketu's mother, and also the cousin of Qijing.With all the support she had at that time, she finally kept the position of Jinong of Boshuoketu, and at the same time she also had a great influence on Boshuoketu's department-theoretically speaking, after Buyanbatul died, he The direct descendant tribe is in the hands of the regent Hatun. Boshuoketu actually received this power from his mother, so Taigal Jungen Hatun of course also has considerable prestige in the army. .

Zhu Yijun was overjoyed when he heard it, and praised: "Zu Yijun is really good. If Bosuo Ketu goes crazy, he has to go back to Hetao obediently." But after a pause, Zhu Yijun asked worriedly: "The Hannaji side won't really move, right? Also, if the Tumen take this news seriously and plan to send troops to Tumt, it will be troublesome."

Gao Wushi shook his head and said, "If Buri Hartu does not return to Chahanhot for a day, the Tumen will not have the confidence to send troops. Besides, we can also do more things, such as letting Yang Siwei and Li Chengliang perform with great fanfare, Or simply mobilize the troops or something to make the Tus nervous."

Seeing how thoughtful he was, Zhu Yijun breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, since you have a comprehensive plan, then I'm relieved. It's getting late today, Mr. Shen, please go back first, tomorrow. Take care of all the things I just discussed. Especially if you are honest, you have limited time. If you can go early, go as soon as you can, or go back early."

Shen Shixing and Gao Pragmat agreed, and went back to their respective residences under the escort of the eunuchs and the imperial city guards.
