Chapter 456 The army opens

When the Duke of England opened his mouth, several nobles around him immediately spoke together, their positions were extremely unanimous, and they recommended Li Huan to the emperor as the candidate for the head coach to counter the rebellion.

As for whether the rebellion can be successfully suppressed, to be honest, as the governor of the Five Army Commander's Mansion, the few nobles present can definitely be said to be the core figures of the noble group.

And they, who are in high positions, are also more aware of how powerful the military power that Daming currently controls is.

If it was placed a few years ago, maybe they would still be a little worried, because at that time the Beijing camp was really worrying about its combat effectiveness, and if it was really pulled to the battlefield, the result would be really hard to say.

However, under Li Huan's elimination and reform, today's Beijing camp can definitely be said to be an elite division, especially after experiencing the Tatar invasion, Li Huan even mobilized a large number of soldiers from the army to go to the battlefield , The elite who had seen blood entered the Beijing camp, which directly increased the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp by a large margin.

It's not that they look down on King Ning who dared to rebel, not to mention that the troops under King Ning have never even seen a battle. The opponent of the army.

With this kind of cognition, in the eyes of Duke Ying and Duke Cheng, the suppression of King Ning's rebellion this time is a great opportunity to make contributions.

In the previous battle to suppress the rebellion of King Anhua and resist the invasion of the Tatars, many of their sons and nobles directly became powerful in the army by virtue of their meritorious deeds in this battle. Generals, and even a few people were knighted by virtue of their military exploits.

For so many years in the Ming Dynasty, except for the beginning of the founding of the country and the Jingnan Change, it can be said that there are very few opportunities for people to be knighted.

Now that King Ning actually jumped out to rebel, in the eyes of all the nobles, King Ning was creating opportunities for their heirs.

It can be said that at this time, even if Li Huan had no idea of ​​commanding the army to suppress the rebellion, they would try to persuade Li Huan, and then push Li Huan to the position of commander.

Zhu Hou took a look at Zhang Lun, Zhu Fu and others, but did not say anything, but turned his attention to Yang Tinghe, Wang Yangming and others.

The Xungui side expressed their own opinions, so Zhu Houzhao naturally also wanted to see what the civil servants had to say. Although it was said just now that Wang Yangming was asked to lead the army to suppress the rebellion, it was obvious that it was only the opinion of a few people and did not represent the majority of civil servants. .

It seemed that they had noticed the emperor's gaze, but Yang Tinghe, Liu Yu and others did not intend to speak, and they were not fools.

Based on their understanding of the Son of Heaven, Li Huan will most likely be selected as the commander in chief to counter the rebellion this time.As for sending Wang Yangming to lead the army to suppress the rebellion, in their view, it is not realistic at all.

Even if Wang Yangming served as the commander of the three armies before and successfully defeated the Tatar invasion, he can definitely be regarded as one of the best candidates for countering the rebellion.

But don't forget that the Ming Dynasty is now at an important juncture in implementing tax reforms, and the tax reforms were implemented by Wang Yangming himself. It can be said that once Wang Yangming leaves from the central center to fight the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River at this time, there will inevitably be tax reforms. The implementation of the reform had a great impact.

As for Li Huan coming to preside over the tax reform, it wasn't that they looked down on Li Huan, but that Li Huan really didn't have the ability to coordinate the overall situation.

Coupled with Li Huan's identity, it is impossible to win the approval of officials in the DPRK and China, and only Wang Yangming's own identity can truly stabilize the Quartet.

So at this time, under this environment, as long as the emperor and Wang Yangming are not stupid, they will definitely not let Wang Yangming leave the center.

Seeing these situations clearly, even if Yang Tinghe and Liu Yu wanted to push the flames and take this opportunity to squeeze Wang Yangming out of the center, I am afraid that the emperor would not be able to pass the test.

However, Yang Tinghe and Liu Yu did not speak, but someone else stepped forward.

Su Ping, who was the left servant of the Ministry of War, had a serious expression on his face at the moment, and saluted the emperor respectfully: "Your Majesty, I think that to put down King Ning's rebellion this time, an important minister with both ability and integrity must be needed. You can go out on horseback, look at my court, only the old Wangge has this qualification, so I think that your majesty should worship the old Wangge as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and preside over the counter-rebellion."

The fact that Yang Tinghe and Liu Yu did not open their mouths does not mean that other officials will miss such a good opportunity to reach the current high position, and both of them can be regarded as human beings.

On weekdays, if it does not involve their own interests, if they are not blinded by the interests in front of them, they can definitely be said to be all human beings. They dare not say that one step is ten steps, but one step is three steps. Definitely an instinct.

Just like now, almost by instinct, they realized that now is definitely the best time to push Wang Yangming out of the court.

It won't take long, as long as Wang Yangming leaves the center for a year or so, they can use their hands to turn the tax reform that is currently being implemented.

With Wang Yangming sitting in the center, to be honest, they have really seen Wang Yangming's methods during this period of time. It can be said that with Wang Yangming around, they really don't have the ability to do anything under Wang Yangming's nose. hands and feet.

It is precisely because of this that the tax reform can really be carried out. If it is really replaced by other people, regardless of the strong support of the emperor, coupled with the supervision and assistance of Jin Yiwei, I am afraid it will not be as smooth as it is now .

Nowadays, many officials in the court have resentment towards Wang Yangming, Li Huan and others, but they can't do anything about Li Huan and Wang Yangming at all.

It's not just the officials below who feel this way, even now in this imperial study, there are more than one or two people.

It's like Su Ping, who doesn't seem to have a clear stand on weekdays, but now he shows his attitude inadvertently.

After Su Ping's words fell, several figures immediately followed him and stood up, with serious faces, and said to the emperor with a serious look on his face, "What Su Shilang said is true, I am up and down, only Wang Ge is the most suitable , I believe that if the elder Wang Ge personally goes out, the mere King Ning can easily be captured."

Zhu Houzhao's expression was calm, making it impossible to see what was in his mind.

However, the Son of Heaven also nodded slightly at Su Ping and the others at this moment, turned his eyes to Wang Yangming and said with a smile: "If I worship Aiqing as the general of the three armies and preside over the suppression of King Ning's rebellion, what does Wang Aiqing think?"

When Wang Yangming heard the words, he immediately bowed to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, I am very apprehensive in my heart because of your majesty's love. However, I know that the suppression of King Ning's rebellion is related to our Daming country. I think it is more suitable to be elected." Candidates."

Su Ping and the others couldn't help frowning when they heard the words, the emperor just spoke, they thought that the emperor was going to appoint Wang Yangming as the commander in chief to preside over the quelling of the rebellion.

But now that Wang Yangming refused, how could this prevent Su Ping from feeling unhappy.

There is no such good opportunity to squeeze Wang Yangming out of the center. If Wang Yangming is really allowed to stay in the center, wouldn't they want to sit back and watch the tax reform continue.

Thinking of the complaints in the private letters of the disciples and old officials below, and even the dissatisfaction in the letters of their relatives, friends and close friends, Su Ping and the others couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

Seeing Su Ping took a deep breath and bowed to Wang Yangming, he said: "Ge Lao's words are wrong. Looking at me up and down, is there anyone who can be more suitable for commanding the three armies than Ge Lao?"

Speaking of which, Su Ping looked at Li Huan with a bit of distrust in his eyes. It seemed that in Su Ping's eyes, Li Huan was not a suitable candidate at all.

Wang Yangming just glanced at Su Ping indifferently, and said calmly: "Wang is just a literati. When it comes to understanding military affairs, how can he be as good as the champion who has won the three armies and has never been defeated."

As he spoke, Wang Yangming bowed to the emperor and said, "I think the commander of the three armies must be a champion. Please learn from your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, looked at Li Huan and said, "What does Li Qing think?"

At this time, Li Huan said with a smile on his face: "Thanks to the British Duke and Wang Ge's respect, I recommend myself, and I am willing to do my best for Your Majesty. If the rebellion of King Ning cannot be put down, I would like to come and see you!"

"it is good!"

Before the others could react, Zhu Houzhao got up suddenly, and shouted with a bit of excitement on his face, while Su Ping and the others had a bad feeling in their hearts.

He was about to speak, but at this time the emperor had already opened his mouth and said: "The governor of the Chinese military governor's mansion, the champion Hou Lihuan listens to the order!"

Li Huan immediately stepped forward and bowed to the emperor, saying: "The minister is here!"

Zhu Houzhao immediately said: "I have appointed you as a mighty general, admiral of the three armies, and presided over the suppression of King Ning's rebellion!"

Li Huan said loudly after a week: "The minister leads the decree to thank you!"

Li Huan and Zhu Houzhao, the monarch and his ministers, seemed to have rehearsed such a major event in the blink of an eye, and went through the process.

So much so that when Su Ping and the others reacted, they didn't even have a chance to speak.

At this time, looking at Li Huan, who had already received the will of the emperor, and then at Zhu Houzhao, Su Ping and the others didn't know what to say.

Wang Yangming didn't cooperate with them at all, and even gave up voluntarily, so that they didn't have a suitable candidate to compete with Li Huan.

In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, apart from Wang Yangming who has enough qualifications to compete with Li Huan, there is really no one else who is more suitable than Li Huan.

Even the Xungui Group can see the problem, but Su Ping can't see through it.

From the very beginning, they saw that the possibility of King Ning's rebellion being successful was very slim, and it could be said that this counter-rebellion was also an opportunity to gain military exploits.

Originally, they were aiming to squeeze Wang Yangming out of the center, but they had military merits to make up for it. It is expected that Wang Yangming would not have any opinions. Going a step further, it is not impossible to become a hereditary duke.

You must know that it is the hereditary duke's position that he lived with the country, and they did not believe that Wang Yangming could resist such a temptation.

Because of this, even if they knew that Wang Yangming would definitely be able to see their thoughts, they didn't have the slightest worry, and recommended it to the emperor in front of Wang Yangming.

Wang Yangming left the center, but he had the hereditary title of duke. If it was them, the choice could not be easier.

It's a pity that they never thought that Wang Yangming would not be affected at all, as if he didn't know what the presiding over the counter-rebellion meant to him, they gave up such a good opportunity without hesitation.

At this moment, the facts have become a foregone conclusion. Unless the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty stand up and oppose it, it is impossible to change the emperor's mind.

However, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were not monolithic. Now that Li Huan and Wang Yangming are in the court, they are also attached by a group of officials who are waving flags and shouting. situation.

Zhu Houzhao swept across the crowd, and said in a clear voice: "Since your family has no opinion, then this matter is settled. I hope that all you can work together to help the court put down King Ning's rebellion. I will definitely reward you."

As the news spread, the news of King Ning's rebellion spread throughout the capital as if he had grown wings, and suddenly became a hot topic among countless people in the capital.

At the same time, the emperor worshiped Li Huan as a general, admiral of the three armies, and the decree of presiding over counter-insurgency affairs was also spread.

Many people heard that Li Huan presided over the counter-insurgency affairs, and they all praised the emperor's insight into people.

In just three days, [-] elite troops slowly marched out of the camp on the outskirts of the capital in the outskirts of the capital. The banners and banners were everywhere, which was truly mighty.

Countless people who came from all directions to watch the army's launch looked at the black elite army that could not be seen at a glance, and they all stared dumbfounded.

Whether it's the thousands of elite cavalry, hundreds of thousands of artillery pieces, or the [-] Battalion and Shenji Battalion exuding evil spirits.

It can only be said that today's Beijing camp soldiers are really different from what they used to be. Under Li Huan's strict training, the Beijing camp army can definitely be regarded as an elite division. The sight was overwhelmed.

Let alone those ignorant commoners, it is the military and military officials who accompanied the emperor to see Li Huan off today, looking at the dark scene of the mighty army and soldiers full of evil spirits. At the same time, each of them was dumbfounded, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Although many officials know that the Beijing camp has undergone earth-shaking changes under the hands of Li Huan, but hearsay is hearsay after all. Without seeing it with their own eyes, most of the officials are actually skeptical about the rumors of a major change in the Beijing camp. of.

After all, they knew exactly what the Beijing camp was like in the past.

But now seeing that mighty and majestic elite teacher with his own eyes, the kind of shock coming to his face is really shocking.

In Zhu Houzhao's eyes, Zhu Houzhao's reaction naturally made Zhu Houzhao feel a little bit refreshed and proud.

[It's been two days since the end of the month, and those who have a monthly pass will be smashed, don't let it expire and become invalid. 】
