I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 587: Do any of you have any opinions on this?
"Then who do you think should be better operated on first?"

Jiajing's voice was not loud, but it was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of everyone present.

This means that the emperor has decided to adopt Zhang Juzheng's opinion, mobilize the army in the name of counterinsurgency, and take action against the southwestern chieftains!
After Jiajing finished speaking, Xu Jie on the side thought about it for a long time before giving a response.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that Yang Lie, the envoy of Xuanwei in Bozhou, be treated first. For so many years, Yang Lie has relied on the favor of the imperial court to act perversely in Bozhou."

"After Yang Lie took back the body of his father Yang Xiang, he broke his promise and took the initiative to start a war with Guizhou's comfort envoy An Waquan. Due to successive years of war, the local people were devastated and resentment boiled!"

When Xu Jie said this, he looked at Gao Gong aside, and then added.

"As Mr. Gao Ge said earlier, Yang Lie willfully exploited the people under his rule, breaking their bones and sucking their marrow. If the imperial court sends troops to capture this thief this time, they will definitely get the full support of the local people!"

"In addition, Bozhou is thousands of miles away, with dangerous mountains and rivers, and numerous ethnic groups. As one of the few powerful chieftains in the southwest, the threat to the imperial court cannot be underestimated!"

"Therefore, if the imperial court takes action against Bozhou, it can have the effect of intimidating the surrounding chieftains, big and small, without encountering too much resistance!"

After Xu Jie, Yan Song stood up and asked Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, I also think that we should take action against Bozhou!"

Jiajing vaguely remembered that in the 24th year of Wanli, Yang Lie's son, Bozhou Xuanwei envoy Yang Yinglong, took the opportunity to rebel.

"Huh, if that's the case, then I will destroy you in advance and eliminate a great disaster for our Ming Dynasty!"

Jiajing thought so, then came back to his senses, nodded, and said in a deep voice.

"Well, okay, in that case, I am determined to attack the Bozhou Yang family first. I want to completely annihilate their Yang family!"

As soon as Jiajing finished speaking, everyone present responded in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After that, Yan Song turned his attention to Jiajing and asked cautiously.

"In that case, who does Your Majesty intend to command the army to pacify Bozhou?"

When Jiajing heard this, he glanced at Yan Song calmly and then gave instructions.

"I plan to let Feng Yuelai command the army!"

"Feng Yue is currently the governor of Huguang. As the Minister of War, he is the governor of military affairs in Huguang and Sichuan!"

"Do you still remember that in the 23rd year of Jiajing, the war between Bozhou's Xuanfu envoy Yang Lie and Guizhou's Xuanwei envoy An Waquan over the competition for hookah and Tianwang area was exactly what he suppressed Only then can we calm down!"

"Over the years, his understanding of those chieftains has probably surpassed that of anyone else in the court."

"Therefore, I plan to let him lead the army. Before that, I have written a personal letter to Feng Yue, asking him to mobilize supplies and food in advance and be ready to counter the rebellion at any time!"

"In addition, I also asked the Department of Arms to send him a large number of new weapons for counterinsurgency!"

After Jiajing finished describing his deployment in a leisurely manner, the faces of everyone present were filled with shock.

What they didn't expect was that the emperor would think so carefully, and even before the cabinet discussions began, he had already decided on the person who would lead the army next!
Moreover, the candidate proposed by the emperor is also very convincing. It is perfect to appoint Feng Yue as the candidate to command the army!

On the one hand, it was because Feng Yue had long been the governor of Huguang and Chuangui's military affairs, and he must have known the situation of the chieftains in the southwest very well.

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will be victorious in any battle. If Feng Yuelai leads the army, the army can also reduce many unnecessary casualties.

On the other hand, it is because Feng Yue is a man who knows people well and can make good use of them. The best example is the commander-in-chief Shi Bangxian he appointed at the time.

Shi Bangxian is currently the commander of the Qianshi in the capital, and Tongren is the general. He has repeatedly quelled the Miao rebellion and made great contributions to the court. He is very good at using troops. Most of the rewards he received were distributed to his soldiers. Therefore, his soldiers Their combat effectiveness is no less than that of those elite soldiers!
Thinking of this, everyone looked at Jiajing with a hint of awe.

Immediately, everyone came to their senses, and under the leadership of Yan Song, they all knelt on the ground and said in unison.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Seeing this situation, Jiajing glanced at everyone one by one, waved his hand, and gave instructions.

"Well, everyone, get up!" "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Jiajing's words fell, everyone stood up from the ground one after another.

After that, Jiajing changed the subject and spoke casually.

"At that time, I plan to wait for Bozhou to be pacified and select some of the clan members and nobles to serve in Bozhou. What do you think?"

Jiajing's words were like throwing a big stone into a calm pond, and soon caused an uproar.

Everyone was looking at Jiajing with surprise and uncertainty, while Yan Song's face was full of solemnity.

Immediately, he plucked up the courage, stood up tremblingly, and exhorted like this.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I think this is very inappropriate!"

When Jiajing, who was sitting on the dragon chair, heard this, a look of interest appeared on his face. He looked in the direction of Yan Song and asked.

"Oh, Yan Song, if that's the case, then tell me carefully, what's wrong?"

When Yan Song heard Jiajing's words, a look of panic suddenly appeared on his face, but in the end, he still bit the bullet and spoke out his advice.

"Your Majesty, there are many ethnic groups in the southwest, the situation is complicated and miasma is everywhere. If you are not careful, you will be eroded by the miasma. Once the miasma enters the body, there is a risk of death. For the sake of the clan and nobles, I sincerely ask your majesty to take it back. Success!"

After Yan Song finished speaking, he knelt on the ground with a plop, lowered his head, and said no more.

After Yan Song, Xu Jie stood up and admonished Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, I think what Mr. Yan Ge said makes sense. The conditions in the southwest are terrible. If you send the clan and nobles to that kind of place, I'm afraid they will be dissatisfied. What if..."

Before Xu Jie finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Jiajing.

"Okay, no need to say any more, I have made up my mind and this matter is settled!"

"Earlier, His Majesty Taizu, the original intention of establishing the vassal kings was to let them guard the borders of the Ming Dynasty. The clan and nobles naturally have this responsibility!"

When Jiajing said this, he glanced coldly at Yan Song and Xu Jie, and then spoke.

"Or do you two think that the clan and nobles are not worthy of such an important task?"

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen dare not!"

Faced with the big hat the emperor slapped on them without saying a word, Yan Song and Xu Jie didn't even think about it and chose to deny it verbally.

After all, if this big hat is really slapped on him, then the rest of his life will not be easy.

When Jiajing saw this situation, a look of satisfaction suddenly appeared on his face, and he immediately spoke to himself.

"When the time comes to pacify Bozhou, I will personally select several clan members and nobles to take up posts in Bozhou."

"In this way, we can take this opportunity to give them a good experience!"

When Jiajing said this, he looked around and then asked.

"After what I have said, does anyone else have any opinions on this?"

Seeing that Jiajing had made up his mind, no one dared to raise objections, and they all expressed their attitudes.

"Okay, I'm a little tired too, so let's just come here today!"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he stood up from his seat and walked out of the cabinet. Lu Fang, who had been waiting beside Jiajing, saw this and quickly followed Jiajing's footsteps.

Immediately afterwards, under the leadership of Yan Song, the chief minister of the cabinet, everyone knelt on the ground, looked at Jiajing's leaving figure, and said in unison.

"I'm waiting to send you to Your Majesty!"
