Jinyi champion

The inspector and the armed forces are back.

When he arrived at the temporarily set up Neisanguan governor's yamen, Jiang Lun rushed in excitedly.

The same honored man went to the northwest, and unlike Zhang Yanling, who was mourning for his concubine, Jiang Lun felt that he had already obtained the stepping stone of the powerful class. To rectify his own name, he also wants to realize his own value in the new emperor system.

Even Tang Bohu, who was only proficient in poetry and painting in the past, can soar into the sky, why can't I, Jiang Mengzai?

"Old Tang, you are really capable. Seeing that you are not afraid of speaking in front of those generals, you can tell that you have the air of a general. It seems that this time the military victory is within your reach."

Jiang Lun had a complimenting look on his face.

He didn't have the nerve to say, when you get military merit, you must remember to support me, brother, you can eat meat and I can drink soup, and it would be even better if there is a little bone scum.

Tang Yin sighed: "What military achievements, what I look like, others don't know, you don't understand?"

Jiang Lun curled his lips and said, "Why are you so humble? In Anlu, who didn't know your outstanding military exploits? If it weren't for this, King Xing...Emperor Xingxian would not have valued you so much in the past."

"Ha ha."

Tang Yin smiled self-deprecatingly, "Meng Zai, don't you know the role Jingdao played in that battle? If it wasn't for him, let alone military merit, I'm afraid I would have been killed by the bandits sent by King Ning long ago." Captured, the grass on the grave is already tall.”

"Haha, Brother Bohu, even if Mr. Zhu is great, wouldn't you have to rely on you to support him at the time? Otherwise, he is just a child, who would listen to him? Besides, this time, Mr. Zhu is behind Advising you? What did he say? Our next step is to send troops to fight the Tartars?"

Jiang Lun became more and more enthusiastic.

Tang Yin frowned upon hearing this, thinking where did this guy get his confidence?
Do you think fighting is fun?
Tang Yindao: "He said he wanted to attack, but in the early stage, he had to lure the enemy deep, and lure the Tartars to the Neisan Pass, not necessarily which side. Earlier I sent people to inform the generals of the defenders at the Neisan Pass to inform them. They will transfer a batch of luggage from Xishan, and at the same time, a large number of craftsmen will be stationed to collect and prepare materials on the spot.”

"What to prepare?"

Jiang Lun's eyes widened.

Tang Yin thought for a while and said, "It's the kind of strong gunpowder that was used to blow up the bandits' camp. Because it's not stable, you need to bring the materials to the place and then prepare it."

Jiang Lun excitedly said: "In this way, I seem to understand. Think about it, we now have that thing called a hot air balloon that flies high into the sky. If it attracts the Tartars, we will drop that thing from the sky... ...Be good, be good, this is called divine soldiers descending from the sky, they will have to peel off their skin if they don’t die.”

"Don't always think of good things."

Tang Yin gave Jiang Lun a white look, "Is it so fun to fight? The Tatars will be so obedient and set up a camp to blow up for you? Besides, don't the Tatars not warn? The gunpowder is powerful, but the main effect is reflected It is used to deter the enemy, not to cause too many casualties. If it is really going to be blown up, I am afraid that if all the gunpowder is used together, it will not be enough to blow up half a battalion..."

"Hey."

Jiang Lun scratched his head embarrassingly, "Old Tang, you know better...I'll listen to you..."

Tang Yin sighed: "Actually, what Jing Dao told me also has this meaning. If there is a chance, it would be best to fly over the enemy's camp and bomb them. It would be great if you cooperate with the cavalry assault. But it needs the right time, place and people." And, just talking about one wind direction...it's very difficult to grasp.

"It's winter now, the weather is suddenly cold, and the northwest wind is very strong. To attack the enemy camp, it must be attacked at night, and the wind is even stronger at night... Do you think it is easy?"

Jiang Lun sat down and nodded seriously: "It makes sense."

Tang Yindao: "So we still have to prepare for a tough battle. Of course, we should do the defense of the city first, and ensure the safety of the inner three passes, which is more important than anything else."

Jiang Lun laughed and said: "**** is here, if I have a chance, let me take a look before going into battle."

"Huh? You want to charge forward?"

Tang Yin frowned.

Jiang Lun quickly waved his hands: "I'm not going to die, but I want to stand on the top of the city and watch those firecrackers, cannons, etc.... Just listening to those craftsmen talking about it when they are transported here, I feel very powerful It looks like they are boasting very evilly, but no one has really seen the power, if there is a chance, they must open their eyes."

It was only then that Tang Yin knew that Jiang Lun felt that the weapons and equipment of the Ming army were very strong, and he also had a mentality of "the heaven and earth are invincible", thinking that this battle must be won.

He didn't have the nerve to discourage Jiang Lun's enthusiasm.

After all, during the Northwest War, the Ming army has always been on the defensive, relying on the steepness of the pass and filling in the territory as if life is worthless, so it really wants to fight with the Tartars... In the situation where the soldiers, horses, weapons and other conditions of both sides are equal Under the circumstances, it is difficult for the Ming army to get cheap.

In the capital, the matter of newcomers entering the cabinet is in full swing.

The push has already begun.

But in the first court push, apart from Liu Chun proposed by Zhu Si, only Shi and Fengxi were nominated, but obviously Shiban and Fengxi were not as prestigious as Liu Chun, and the calls for Liu Chun to join the cabinet were loud. Even many people in the Imperial Academy felt that Liu Chun had the chance to join the cabinet this time.

However, some people believed that Mao Cheng, Minister of Rites, should join the cabinet. If Mao Cheng came out to be elected, it would be almost a sure thing.

But Mao Cheng himself was not interested in this matter at all, and he didn't even do related operations. He also knew that he could still be a big boss if he stayed in the Ministry of Rites, and he could do something, or he would not be affected by Yang Tinghe in certain things. However, if he joins the cabinet... he will completely become Yang Tinghe's vassal and younger brother.

Mao Cheng is not stupid, he would not do such a troublesome thing for himself.

After the first court push, Yang Tinghe discussed with Jiang Mian and Mao Ji in private.

Mao Ji said bluntly: "I think His Majesty will probably make another move tomorrow. No matter how you look at it now, things seem to be a bit wrong."

Jiang Mian looked stiff and did not comment.

Yang Tinghe felt that this matter was mostly related to Yang Yiqing or Xie Qian's return to the court to join the cabinet.

Mao Ji asked, "Jiefu, what do you think?"

Yang Tinghe said: "If no one chooses to push it out, or Liu Dongchuan should be selected to enter the cabinet, this will not only reassure people's hearts, but also allow His Majesty to stop being entangled in this matter. But we must ensure that there is only one person in the cabinet."

"This……"

Jiang Mian and Mao Ji looked at each other, and there was some incomprehension in their eyes.

In fact, this is the pattern.

After Zhu Si ascended the throne, Yang Tinghe has always adopted a tough but tactful way to communicate with the little emperor. It seems that Yang Tinghe is very strong, but in fact, Yang Tinghe has shown a very high self-restraint in terms of ceremony, personnel scheduling, etc. Knowing that a fight to the death with the little emperor would destroy the harmonious relationship between the monarch and his ministers, he chose to compromise on many things.

Since the new emperor ascended the throne, from the appointment of the six ministers, the conviction of Wang Qiong, Lu Wan and others, to the entry of Yuan Zonggao into the cabinet, the compromise of Tang Yin's entry into the court...

In every matter, Yang Tinghe lost some interests to some extent, that is to say, Yang Tinghe is not the kind of person who is tough for the sake of being tough. He knows how to judge the situation and is open-minded, but he is a powerful minister who can do practical things.

This is also the fundamental reason why Yang Tinghe was able to achieve a good death even though he had many conflicts with Zhu Si when he was in power in history.

Of course, there will still be some irreconcilable conflicts between monarchs and ministers. Previously, Yang Tinghe's strongest performance was the auction of coal mines and the collection of mining taxes. At that time, Yang Tinghe also felt that he was being teased by the little emperor. Forced the little emperor to take back his order in a head-to-head manner.

But in the end, "each took a step back". The little emperor gave up on continuing to auction the coal mines, but Yang Tinghe also agreed to continue mining coal mines in Xishan... The two sides did not quarrel to the point of completely tearing each other apart.

this time.

Yang Tinghe also showed extremely high political accomplishment.

In fact, this is also the result of his inner choice to compromise.

Compared with letting Yang Yiqing return to the court to join the cabinet, Yang Tinghe is more accepting of Liu Chun's entry into the cabinet. Although Liu Chun is not a member of his own faction, he is at least from an orthodox academic background, and his prestige in the court is not low. It is still difficult to shake his position as the chief assistant of Yang Ting and the cabinet.

But if Yang Yiqing entered the cabinet, the situation would be very different. Yang Tinghe couldn't afford the worst outcome, so he could only choose to compromise, and agreed to listen to the little emperor's suggestion and arrange Liu Chun into the cabinet.

Mao Ji and Jiang Mian had also heard about Yang Yiqing's return to the court, but because Yang Tinghe didn't say it clearly, they could only guess that it might be related.

Wait until the next day for the court meeting.

Jiang Mian, the second assistant of the cabinet, came forward and suggested: "Your Majesty, I also think that it is more appropriate to join the cabinet with Liu Chun, a Hanlin scholar. He has been in power for a long time, and he has always been in charge of edicts. He strictly abides by the laws of the Ming Dynasty..."

As soon as it came up, Jiang Mian blew a rainbow fart on Liu Chun on behalf of the cabinet.

When cabinet members came out to express their attitude, this matter became very delicate.

Originally, many members of Yang Tinghe's faction were going to continue to argue for reasons, to show how unsuitable Liu Chun's entry into the cabinet was, and then to judge how beneficial it would be for Fengxi and Shi Zhu to enter the cabinet... After all, Shiban also worked for a few months The Minister of the Ministry of Officials retired from the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and became a scholar of the Imperial Academy. It is a pity not to join the cabinet.

But now that Jiang Mian is speaking on behalf of the cabinet, it is tantamount to telling the people in the court that the cabinet has reached a consensus on who will join the cabinet.

Anyone who comes out to oppose Liu Chun's entry into the cabinet will be a little ignorant of current affairs.

After listening to Jiang Mian's words, Zhu Si frowned and said, "Mr. Jiang Ge, did I hear you right? Earlier it seemed... that the government had a lot of resistance to Liu Qing's family's entry into the cabinet. Why did it suddenly..."

Jiang Mian said: "I just want to ask, does Your Majesty want one person to enter the cabinet this time, or... more people?"

Zhu Si smiled and said: "One person is fine, and one more person...is to share the hard work with you."

As soon as this word comes out.

Many people heard the problem. It seems that the emperor said yesterday that he supported Liu Chun's entry into the cabinet, but today he heard that the cabinet supported Liu Chun's entry into the cabinet. He was not satisfied, and wanted to temporarily add another candidate to the cabinet?
