Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1083 Night Talk
Speaking of which, Cai Nan was on a job with Zou Yixue in the Internal Officials Prison, and learned a lot about filing documents, but he knew nothing about military matters.

Later, he became the supervisor of Wang Tong's side. Wang Tong's side has a very good atmosphere, that is, there are no fools. Everyone learns and understands as much as possible. All of them have made great progress.

Cai Nan was originally a civil servant in the inner court, but now he is recognized by the inner court as a person who knows the soldiers. In the future, the position of the imperial horse supervisor and the ceremonial supervisor as the admiral of the Beijing camp will be indispensable.

Xu Guangguo sent as much as possible of the parts he had collected and thought to be useful here, and wrote them in the letter.

But these things cannot be written on the memorial casually, they must be summarized and sorted out to find out what is the most suitable material to achieve the purpose, so that they can be targeted.

"Our family is just in charge of logistics and supplies, so it can be said to be a soldier."

Cai Nan said politely, but picked up the letter paper, and looked at it carefully from the beginning. This time, it took a lot more time than before, and his expression was also much more careful.

After putting down the letter paper, Cai Nan picked up the wine cup and rubbed it a few times, then said in a deep voice:
"Let's not mention what was said in the letter, just the news that came from land and sea recently, more than [-] Japanese pirates have entered the dynasty, should this be confirmed?"

"My father-in-law is in Jinmen. The news should be faster than Lu's. It should be confirmed that there are around 20 people. These people are basically in the Beijing-Tianjin area. Rumors are of no benefit to them."

"20, 20"

Cai Nan muttered a few words, and then said:

"Since Lord Long Live came to the throne, there have been four battles with more than [-] people in battles. They were conquered by naturalization and Jianzhou, and they all won great victories. The Li family in Liao Town conquered Duolun once in the west, and conquered women in the east. What a time, a disastrous victory, a disastrous defeat, and no one else has this qualification."

Lu Wancai nodded over there, got up and took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the bookshelf beside him, and polished the ink to prepare for recording. Cai Nan spoke very slowly, obviously thinking while talking.

".Five thousand Liaoxi cavalry were lost in Pyongyang City. If you do this calculation, the combat power of the Japanese pirates will not be inferior to Jurchen and Mongolia."

Having said that, Lu Wancai added:

"During Sejong's time, the Japanese invaded the southeast, and those so-called remnants of the Japanese defeated generals already caused my officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty a lot of headaches. This should also be mentioned, not to mention that this time it was the Japanese officers and soldiers sent by the chief assistant of the Wa Kingdom."

Cai Nan nodded and said:

"That's what it means. Master Lu said it well. According to the calculation of the combat power of 20 Japanese pirates, one can imagine how terrifying it is. You can't take it lightly, otherwise it will lead to a catastrophe that will shake the country and society."

After saying a few words, Cai Nan picked up the wine cup and took a sip, then asked slowly:

"Lord Lu, enter the court to fight against the Japanese. This kind of war is already considered a national war. Think about it, with so many generals in the Ming Dynasty, who is qualified to be the commander-in-chief and lead the army into the court?"

"Don't hide it from my father-in-law, Lu Mou only knows about the country's father, but the other generals don't know."

"There is also Li Rusong, the chief soldier of the Xuan Mansion, and Li Hutou."

Speaking of Li Hutou, the two coughed uncontrollably, feeling a little uncomfortable. Cai Nan cleared his throat and continued:
"Hutou is young and has never led an army alone. The Holy Majesty may not consider it, but this Li Rusong is different. He has been the general soldier of the Xuan Mansion for so many years and has participated in many battles. But the meritorious service is there after all, and the battle in the DPRK, after all, is on the side of Liao Town, whether it is familiarity with the terrain or the mobilization of Liao Town's troops, Li Rusong has an advantage of familiarity."

"Besides, many people in the DPRK and China are afraid that they don't want the Duke to have any chance to make meritorious deeds. The Li family has always had a good relationship between the DPRK and China."

Lu Wancai interjected, Cai Nan nodded, sighed slightly and said:

"We must emphasize the strength of the Japanese pirates, the importance of this battle, and who can lead the army to victory. Although these principles are all here, if everyone speaks lightly, the effect may not be much better. To say something disrespectful , Lord Long Live now spends more time playing games and less time asking about politics, some things may not be as clear as before, I'm afraid it's better to listen to whoever says it."

Speaking of this, Lu Wancai was also a little embarrassed, put down his pen and said:
"My father-in-law is right. Now on our side, there are high-ranking ones, one is Mr. Lu, and the other is Mr. Xu. There are really no other important people. The Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Pan Jixun, is the book we printed for him with money. I don’t know about this. Let’s not talk about him, but here in the palace, we need to invite Eunuch Cai to do more activities.”

"One third-rank, one fourth-rank, and a few sixth- and seventh-rank ones are really not enough. It's easier to say in the palace. Eunuch Zou understands this. With him making arrangements, and Xiao Liang helping him, it's always good. Not bad, the key is still outside, Master Lu, what can Xungui do?"

Cai Nan shook his head, Lu Wancai showed a wry smile, and also shook his head and said:

"It's nothing more than the Chen family and the Tang family, but you know these people, Eunuch Cai, and you can tell they are from our family at a glance. I'm afraid that if we talk about it, someone will immediately find fault with it. If they become entangled with each other, there will be no result."

"It's also true."

Cai Nan pondered for a while, but finally said with a sigh:
"It's all about what to do. Lord Lu arranges the noise that can be used first. You have to make a sound. If you don't make a sound, you will be acquiesced by others. You have to start."

"Today we are going to finalize a charter with Eunuch Cai. Tomorrow we will let them start playing. Let's take a look at Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu said he will make some articles. This is bound to happen."

*****************
Governor Xu Guangguo of Liaoning sent envoys to the capital in an endless stream. A letter of memorial was delivered to the palace to report the situation and analyze the current situation. I don’t know whether it was intentional or not. Everyone in the government and the public knows that the palace is a sieve, and nothing can be kept in it. This is true, and there is no suspicion at all, just let him go.

However, if someone pays close attention, they will find that the news leak this time is somewhat different from the previous ones. The previous leaks have no rules. Even if it is the same memorial, there will be some situations that everyone knows and some that everyone does not know. This time it is different. , All the memorials from Liaoning, no matter how big or small, will be spread in the capital, and the information is extremely complete, obviously someone has seen the entire content of the memorial.

With so many things going on right now, no one cares about the leak of the memorial. Besides, those things are not big things at all, they just pass them on.

Xu Guangguo said a lot of things in this memorial, but from the perspective of the big men in the court, the situation is so important now, the things mentioned in the memorial are too trivial.

For example, Xu Guangguo said that the Liaoxi generals are all focused on doing business, and the guards and pacesetters are rarely trained. In the Land of Gold, Liaoxi Jiangmen's industries are densely covered here, and there are many commercial shops and warehouses.

Moreover, this is a situation where the upper and lower are effective. The virtue of the generals, the generals below, the family members and soldiers, etc., do not have the duties of the generals and warriors at all. They are all scrambling to buy properties. Carry personal cargo.

Soldiers don't like martial arts, and concentrate on pursuing wealth. Such an army can't talk about combat power. Zu Chengxun's defeat in Pyongyang seems to be accidental, but in fact it is inevitable.

Xu Guangguo also blamed himself a lot in the memorial, saying that after he came to Liaoning, because the province was newly established, and Liaoning did not have a chief envoy, the governor was in charge, so he spent a lot of experience on civil affairs, The military is not enough. The three towns in Liaoning, the original Liao Town, were damaged in the battle with the Jurchen and the Mongolian coalition forces, and they have not recovered yet.

It’s good that they haven’t recovered. The soldiers and horses in the three towns can still maintain the law and order in Liaoning. Although it is said that the soldiers and horses in the three towns are used to maintain the law and order of a province, it’s a bit of a killing, but Liaoning is now only Liaodong. The area is actually the territory under its jurisdiction, and the people who come and go between it are the residents of various ethnic groups in the grassland and Baishan Heishui and the local residents of Liao Town. Not all the tribes on the grassland and between Baishan and Heishui are willing to surrender.

In the three towns of Liaoning, it is necessary to maintain a state of suppression and maintenance of law and order at any time, and they have not received any effective supplements.

Xu Guangguo also said from the mouths of Korean soldiers and civilians, and businessmen, that the Japanese soldiers were veterans who had experienced many battles.

What Xu Guangguo said here is trivial, but looking at it all together, it is easy to give people the impression that Liaoning's previous military strength is somewhat stretched to maintain the current situation in Liaoning, and the original strength of Liaozhen has not recovered, but has been constantly increasing. Corruption; the Japanese army in North Korea is very powerful and cannot be taken lightly. The local soldiers and horses in Liaoning are useless, so they must be dispatched. Since the Liao soldiers themselves are depraved, then Li Rusong, the chief soldier of the Xuanfu, is familiar with the soldiers and horses of Liao Town advantage no longer exists.

The Japanese pirates are powerful, and the court must mobilize a large army to completely suppress and exterminate them. Whoever will lead the army will be able to take on this task.
However, Xu Guangguo's label is too obvious. If he is not a neutral party, his persuasive power will not be so strong. There is no way to do this.

Up and down Daming, the current attention is on who should be handsome.
