Jinyi champion

In the eyes of Sun Jiao and many courtiers, the matter of governor of Nei San Guan, which had to be seen and seen for a long time, was basically settled after a court meeting.

Tang Yin, as the Governor of the Inner Three Passes, took the title of Yushi of Youjindu and a doctor of the Ministry of Industry, and promoted the military affairs, food and supplies, defense and other matters of the Inner Three Passes, which was equivalent to being promoted to a higher level. and eunuch Zhang Yong.

Although the matter has not been fully settled, it is basically a matter of an edict, because everyone can see that Yang Tinghe agreed and indirectly contributed to this matter.

Tang Yin is the most beautiful.

In just over a year since entering the court, he has jumped from being the ninth-rank ambassador of Guangjiku to the fifth-rank Gongbu doctor. Tang Yin already has the qualifications to be promoted to be the Minister of the Six Departments.

But this is not a fixed number. In fact, if Tang Yin is promoted again, if he still stays in the capital as a capital official, he can be placed in the position of Shaoqing of the Five Temples before he is promoted to minister.

No matter what, Tang Yin's promotion seems to be on a rocket, which is the envy of others.

The fighting in the capital is still going on.

Yang Tinghe was using his own way to disintegrate the power of the little emperor. Zhu Hao and Yu Chengxun were not in the capital at this time, so no matter how you looked at it, this matter had nothing to do with them.

After the matter was basically confirmed, Yang Tinghe began to arrange for the mobilization of the Beijing camp.

He was not responsible for this matter originally, and his main purpose of being so concerned was to gradually control the military power of the Beijing camp.

If the cabinet can play a leading role in this deployment of troops, even if the Beijing camp is not under the jurisdiction of the cabinet in name, it will depend on the cabinet to arrange who will enter the cabinet in the future, or if the nobles want to admiral the Beijing camp. face?

But before that, Yang Tinghe wanted to meet Zhang Yong.

It is taboo to meet internal officials, Yang Tinghe knows this very well.

When Lu Wan and Wang Qiong were pulled down, didn't they all have the crime of "associating with internal officials"? Especially Wang Qiong. In fact, apart from having more contacts with internal officials, Wang Qiong had no There is no real evidence of corruption and breaking the law. Many so-called evidences were added to Wang Qiong after his downfall.

As an official at Wang Qiong's level, you don't need to deliberately corrupt the law, you will have money if you want, and there are a large number of forces behind it to use it.

Most of the so-called crimes of corruption and bribery are for the common people and middle- and lower-level officials. What they want is a legitimate reason. In fact, everyone knows that Wang Qiong is a victim of political struggle. If Zhu Houzhao is alive, a political war will be launched in the court Cleaning, then Wang Qiong came forward to preside over the overall situation last year...

It is estimated that the "heinous" Yang Tinghe is the one who has fallen now, and Wang Qiong will also become a hero to protect the country.

King and loser.

When Yang Tinghe saw Zhang Yong's name, he asked him to use it as a lead to contact Queen Mother Zhang. He asked him to pay a visit to Queen Mother Zhang first, and then pass on the edict to him in the name of Queen Mother Zhang.

Yang Tinghe is not a fool.

Now that Zhang Yong has fallen, he is nothing. When he is suddenly activated, he naturally has his heart towards the emperor. If Zhang Yong understands his mission to the Northwest, someone must "awaken" him, and that is the Empress Dowager Zhang.

Yang Tinghe asked Zhang Yong to take orders directly from him?
The ideal is full, but the reality is...it cannot be done.

Not to mention taking orders from the chief minister of the cabinet, eunuchs in the army are taboo even if they exchange letters in private. Yang Tinghe is now in a high position, so he is naturally afraid of being caught by others, although he knows that even if this is the case, the little emperor He can't help it.

By the time Zhang Yong came, it was already the afternoon of the second day.

Zhang Yonggang went to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager Zhang, and when he saw Yang Tinghe, his face was full of vicissitudes and loneliness, no longer the scenery he had when he was the eunuch protecting the country of the Ming Dynasty.

When Zhang Yong was at his best, half of the people in the military and political system of the Ming Dynasty were his disciples. His younger brother Zhang Fu was named Tai'anbo, and the other brother Zhang Rong was named Andingbo. Zhang Zhong and the other three eunuchs lost their temper when they saw him.

It has only been more than a year. For Zhang Yong, it seems that a century has passed.
It's someone who left the tea cold.

"...Mr. Yang Ge, the Empress Dowager ordered that the Governor of the Inner Sanguan should be replaced by a nobleman. Why don't you let the Marquis of Shouning or the Marquis of Jianchang go there?"

After seeing Yang Tinghe, Zhang Yong first conveyed the meaning of Queen Mother Zhang.

Empress Dowager Zhang heard that her son was going to set up the governor of the inner three gates, and she wanted to send an honorable minister there. When I thought about it, my two younger brothers were depressed because of the two years of fighting with weapons, so why not let them make a military contribution?
If you go to Sanbian or Xuanda, Empress Dowager Zhang will definitely not have the idea of ​​letting her younger brother lead the army, because the inner three passes are backed by the capital. If the inner three passes are really dangerous, just call the two younger brothers back to the capital.

This is a position where "you can let others attack you if you advance, and you can slip away if you retreat".

Yang Tinghe naturally understood why Queen Mother Zhang mentioned this point, he said: "The situation in the Northwest is chaotic, I'm afraid there will be danger."

You can't refuse it explicitly, after all, Yang Tinghe needs to maintain a good relationship with Queen Mother Zhang now.

Zhang Yongdao: "If it is true that one of the two uncles is with the army, in terms of deployment, it may be...uh..."

Zhang Yong didn't make it very clear.

But in fact, it was indirectly reminding Yang Tinghe.

Although I, Zhang Yong, can take orders from you, but today is not what it used to be, and there is no appeal in the army. If Tang Yin and Huairou Bo Shi Zan are in a line, then my Zhang Yong's departure is just a show. It is better to let the Zhang family, a devil in the world, go. , there is someone who specializes in disturbing the muddy water, the inner three gates are absolutely lively, and Tang Yin's orders may not be able to leave his mansion.

"Um!?"

Yang Tinghe pondered for a while, Zhang Yong's suggestion is very considerate.

Very targeted.

But at such a critical time, it is understandable to let Uncle Huairou go. Others think that you, Yang Tinghe, are serving the country and the people. If you directly send any of the Zhang family brothers, everyone will know that you, Yang Tinghe, are deliberately looking for the new emperor. trouble.

Is this the candidate that normal people should recommend?

Brother Zhang?

They can't even win a fight with weapons, and still want them to command and dispatch troops to fight the Tartars?Is there no one in Ming Dynasty who can reach this situation?

After thinking about it, Yang Tinghe said, "This proposal should be made by Eunuch Zhang."

"This...isn't it good?"

Zhang Yong immediately declined.

I was appointed as an eunuch to supervise the army. It was a blessing, but you actually asked me to propose an honorary minister to accompany the army?This makes people think that I and that Xunchen are in the same group, and they are going to cause trouble for the new emperor?It's no wonder the new emperor didn't kill me.

Yang Tinghe said: "Let's do this, I will find another person to go to the school to make a proposal. But it is not enough to send only one foreign relative, and we have to consider the selection of candidates..."

Zhang Yong said with a smile: "Then why not ask His Majesty to send a foreign relative there?"

"what!?"

Yang Tinghe pondered a little more.

It is impossible to send one of the Zhang family brothers, and send another person, it will not be the two Zhang family brothers together, right?Since the emperor sent a relative, it was impossible for the Shao family to be a member of the Shao family. It seemed that only Jiang Lun, who had just been conferred the title of Yu Tianbo and had done nothing until now, was more suitable.

"talk later."

Yang Tinghe waved his hands.

After some work.

Eventually things settled down.

Tang Yin, Zhang Yong, Zhang Yanling, and Jiang Lun formed the "Big Four" in the inner three levels, and Shi Zan was kicked out before he knew it.

The division of labor among the four was fairly clear, but everyone could tell that they belonged to three factions, and there was Zhang Yanling who was a troublemaker. It must be very lively when they went to the Neiguan resident.

In name, the leader of the army is Zhang Yanling.

Don't look at Zhang Yanling's incomprehension, but he has an errand for the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion. The purpose of letting Xunchen go is to be a general in charge of the army, responsible for leading the "reinforcement army" of the Beijing camp, and Jiang Lun is Zhang Yanling's "deputy commander".

Tang Yin served as the chief official with a civilian position, and Zhang Yong was in charge of supervising the army.

The team is very neat, but before starting, it makes people feel that this team is in crisis.

Jingying
He dispatched five thousand men and horses.

It wasn't considered elite either, and there were 1000 troops from the Shenji Battalion among them. Among them, there were only about a dozen cavalrymen who could really be used. In addition, more than 7000 civilians were recruited to transport ordnance and supplies, and the entire team consisted of more than [-] people.

The time is relatively tight, and we must arrive at Juyongguan within three days.

If you are simply traveling, the journey from the capital to Juyongguan is only a hundred miles away, so three days is not needed at all, but when it comes to marching and accompanying military supplies, the time is still very tight, and the army will not move too fast. Tatars harassing... Of course, this possibility is very small, because the Tatars are still blocked from the inner three passes.

But if the Tartars really came, then this team could easily be "annihilated."

Maybe the Tartars heard about this, so they chose the inaccessible path, bypassed the defenses of the inner three gates, and sent troops to surprise attack?
Before Tang Yin's departure, he didn't even formally visit Zhu Si in the palace, and there was no face-to-face instruction. Tang Yin went out with Jiang Lun, which gave him a little more confidence, but most of it was brought to him by Zhu Hao who is still in Nanjing.

"...Brother Bohu, didn't Mr. Zhu say it all? Let's rest assured, we don't have to worry at all! We will guard when the enemy comes, and guard when the enemy runs away. Just make some military achievements."

Jiang Lun was quite open-minded.

At this time, the two had already left the north gate of the capital city, and they had not yet joined the troops of the capital camp. Tang Yin was surrounded by only a few Jin Yiwei for personal protection.

At this moment, although the official roads around the capital are not under martial law, there are few vehicles and horses coming and going, and the situation in Gyeonggi is tightening step by step.

"What else did Jingdao tell you?"

Tang Yin was very angry.

There are some things he doesn't know.

But Zhu Hao calculated in advance that Jiang Lun would go to the northwest with him?

Jiang Lun laughed and said, "Mr. Xiao didn't say anything. He only said that he might let me go to the Northwest to lead the army. He said it was just for military merit. There is no other meaning. If there is a big battle, the defense of the inner three barriers is enough to guarantee Our stability. Oh, yes, Mr. Xiao also said that we have some good players in the team guarding the coal mine in Xishan, we can take them with us to Juyongguan, and they may come in handy at critical times.”

"Good hand!?"

Tang Yin was frowning again.

He really wanted to say, I have been to Xishan many times before, and sometimes I lived in Xishan for a period of time. How could I know who is good at it?How good is your hand to withstand your praise?Is it comparable to the elite frontier army in the three-sided land?

Jiang Lun said mysteriously: "Didn't I hear that Xishan cast a lot of cannons? There are also firecrackers and so on... I guess that's what Mr. Xiao said?"
