Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty

When the name reached the point, Chen Xun complained in his heart, but he also knew that his job was here, and such things would never escape. For this reason, he lifts the head and said with a bitter expression, “His Imperial Majesty, the minister is mainly responsible for the assessment, appointment and removal of officials from the state capital and the capital. As for the military affairs, there is not much to be found in his mind. A suitable candidate, but the minister will investigate carefully when he returns to see if there is no one who can win the position of a good general.”

I didn’t dare to excuse me directly, but I also said what I meant in the words. Came out. It boils down to one sentence. He knows about the transfer of civilian officials, but he doesn’t know much about military service.

“hmph!” Knowing that Chen Xun was shirking responsibility, Zhu Qizhen snorted unhappy, and then turned his eyes to the High Official Wang Zuo of the Ministry of Households, “Wang Minister, Ministry of Households I am in charge of the nation’s money, as well as the army’s food, grass and ordnance. I wonder if there are any good candidates to recommend to me when doing this assessment?”

“His Imperial Majesty, the army Most of them are the same, and there is no particularly good person. The minister really can’t think of it for a while.” Wang Zuo brace oneself said, also intending to tell Zhu Qizhen that he is only in charge of money and food, like this recommended good general. If it is not within his responsibilities, there will be no answers to asking him.

Two High Officials in a row found the reason, Zhu Qizhen asked the other High Officials separately in angrily, but still did not get any answers, and finally his eyes fell on the High Official Kuang Ye of the Ministry of War. On his body, “Minister Kuang, you are in charge of the military department. I wonder if there is a suitable general to recommend to me?”

When asked about Kuang Ye, this is also helpless. Originally Zhu Qizhen also knew that if there was a suitable candidate, he was afraid that Kuang Ye would stand up early in the morning. The lack of action meant that he had no one to recommend, but at this time, he could only try.

Kuang Ye, who was asked, is much calmer compared to the other High Official Expressions. “Reporting back to His Imperial Majesty. Now the Ministry of War is conducting a self-inspection move, but it has not been discovered yet. What a good leader. But now His Imperial Majesty asked, the minister still recommends Duke of Zhongdan. He is now fighting the rebellion in Guangdong. It is better to wait for him to settle the matter there and transfer him to Yunnan to preside over the situation.. .”

Kuang Ye is still talking, but Zhu Qizhen on Dragon Throne is already flushed and angrily said: “Enough.”

After breaking Kuang Ye’s words, Zhu Qizhen angrily said to Kuang Ye, “Do you know that Guan Ying you sent to report the situation in Guangdong every day? What did he say? There is nothing wrong with the three armies today. Everything is normal. This is Guan Ying’s secret report, and every day it is said, I can memorize it. Now you say that you want to put your hope on Duke of Zhongdan, do you know that you are talking about it?”

“Yes, yes. How can High Official Kuang mention that Duke of Zhongdan? The Guangdong incident is just a group of gangsters, and most of them are untrained gangsters, not at all. What battle strength can be said, Duke of Zhongdan, known as War God, is afraid of enemies. If it is transferred to Yunnan, then I don’t know what it will be like. If this is the case, I will not say it in the future. Wonderful, so as not to cause others to ridicule.” Ministry of Rites High Official Liu De stood up and said with a look accusing Yang Chendong of doing things badly.

Originally, because of Qi Bushen, the prefect of Hangzhou, Yang Chendong not at all sold it to Liu De, so he was very worried. Later, I stumbled upon Yang Shan’s mission to Northern Ming, but things were not as good as I thought. As a result, I was reprimanded by Zhu Qizhen for a good meal, and I was dissatisfied a long time ago. Now even His Imperial Majesty is reprimanding Yang Chendong for his poor handling. How could he not step on it?

Kuang Ye, who knows the grievances between Liu De and Yang Chendong very well, knows that the other party is venting personal anger by saying this, so he said with a disagreement: “Duke of Zhongdan It is true that the situation in Guangdong has not been expanded, but the situation in Guangdong was not at all enlarged. This was originally a success. Besides, the original situation on the battlefield is countless changes. If you don’t move today, it doesn’t mean you won’t move tomorrow. Who knows how it will end. What? I still have confidence in Duke of Zhongdan.”

“Is it? I hope High Official Kuang has the knowledge, and I hope this Northern Ming’s Duke of Zhongdan will not bear the burden. Look.” Liu De knows well about military affairs. He doesn’t have too much say in military affairs. He has already expressed his intentions. There is no need to make trouble with Kuang Ye on this matter. Close hand.

“Enough!” Seeing that the courtier is not recommended by an unscrupulous general, Zhu Qizhen fought out here instead. Then he shook his hand, “All Ministers will consider the matter of the good general after they return. If there is a suitable candidate, I will not look at the seniority and promote and reuse it.”

If you don’t look at the seniority, you can already see Zhu. Qizhen became anxious, and the ministers were stunned at the same time they knelt to the ground, shouting that they would think carefully and select the words of those who can be used.

……

The siege of Guangzhou Mansion has been solved. Yang Chendong also met with the commander of Guangdong Wei Ma Wei under the city of Guangzhou. It’s just that the information is not well developed, and the war here is afraid that it will take a few days to reach the Nanjing Capital.

“The last general Ma Wei has met Lord Imperial Envoy.” The difference from the last meeting is that Ma Wei’s salute this time is respectful, which can be seen from a sincere heart.

Although under the Ming dynasty system, military attaches usually have to lower their heads by half their heads, but as the commander of the Third Rank, their power is not small. At least in the whole of Guangdong, only Chief Secretary Lu Youfu can really suppress him. It is the former Secretary Jia Qing who only has a bigger official title than him. More often, the two people do not need to bow their heads when they meet because of their different roles.

Now, Ma Wei’s Bijing Bijing to Yang Chendong is not only due to the status of the other party’s imposing commission, but more importantly, the victory of this battle.

Starting from dark and ending at about noon on the second day, the yellow bandits were already defeated. The bandit leader Huang Yuliang took advantage of the chaos and fled. Geng Jun, the leader of the Four Great Heavenly Kings, was beheaded before the battle. Killing, apart from this, there are more than 30 leaders, big and small, or killed, wounded, or captured. In this battle, there were more than 30,000 captives alone, plus nearly 10,000 people who died in the war, especially trampling one another under chaos. In this way, the army of 80,000 yellow bandits was hit hard by more than half and lost the ability to encircle the Canton Mansion. The rest of them escaped like a stray dog.

Such a method was created by Yang Chendong. As a witness to the whole incident, how could Ma Wei not be convinced? As for the fact that Yang Chendong ordered him to guard the Guangzhou Mansion for ten days and hurt his soldiers and resentment, he had forgotten a clean one at this time.

Ma Wei looked convinced. Yang Chendong didn’t look surprisingly at all. He just replied indifferently: “In this battle, General Ma has done a lot. This Venerable will definitely be mentioned in the next battle report. Yes, it’s just that the battle is not over. The battlefield still needs to be cleaned. A large number of prisoners still need to be monitored. General Ma is familiar with this place. How to mobilize Bailiff and even the people in Guangzhou Mansion to help, all this will have to work hard for you.”

Yang Chendong said politely, Ma Wei happily agreed, “Lord Imperial Envoy, please rest assured, I will go to the city to mobilize in the end, presumably the manpower should be filled soon.”

p>

“Very good.” Yang Chendong was nodded satisfied at first, then he seemed to think of and so on, “By the way, although we won this battle, we lost some manpower after all. In order to better fight against the yellow bandits and achieve the goal of elimination, This Venerable suggested that we should pick some strong and strong people from these prisoners for our use, so that with sufficient troops, we can fight and recover. The stable situation in Guangdong.”

Such things were commonly used during the War of Liberation. This is one of the reasons why our army is getting bigger and bigger and the results of victory are getting more and more abundant.

“Choose prisoners and replenish troops?” Ma Wei, who was hearing this, raised his head in surprise. Obviously, he hadn’t thought about this at all.

Just as he was puzzled, General Guan Ying also rode up not far away, but he stopped the horse when he was still using several feet from Yang Chendong and jumped off. Leading the horse to Yang Chendong’s presence is also a sign of respect. In other words, the result of this battle was shocking Guan Ying, making him truly convinced.

I failed when I tried to compare my feet with Yang Chendong. Guan Ying had a feeling that this young Lord Imperial Envoy might be able to bring surprises to herself. Unexpectedly, not only Surprisingly, the result is still so huge. In less than a day, he defeated the Huang Bandit, severely damaged its foundation, and solved the siege of Guangzhou Mansion. Not to mention, there has long been news that the Huang Bandit has retreated in the direction of Zhaoqing Mansion and entered the city. In the middle, he shrank and closed the four city gates tightly. It can be seen that this battle frightened their guts, and greatly hit the other party’s arrogance.

After this battle, the situation in Guangdong must be greatly eased.

His mission can be fulfilled hopefully. At this moment, Guan Ying is full of red light. When she sees Yang Chendong, she is even more respectful, “Lord Imperial Envoy, I have eaten It’s here. When would you like to let the army eat?”

“This matter is not in a hurry.” Yang Chendong looked towards The approaching Guan Ying said with a smile, then pointed to Ma Wei and said: “Just now This Venerable said that the source of troops was insufficient. I wondered if we could select young and strong young men from the captives to serve as the army for the time being, but General Ma seemed to disagree.”

“no! Thinking that these people were originally yellow bandits, even if they were captured because they were lost, it is still unclear whether they can be used by us, and they have some worries.” Ma Wei saw that Yang Chendong seemed dissatisfied with him, and immediately explained. . In that way, Yang Chendong has been completely treated like a superior.
