Chapter 189 The same candidate
Xue Sancai did not take advantage of the troops, so he asked the emperor clearly how to allocate the salary, because the emperor told the soldier that His Majesty's physical condition was really bad at this time.
After returning to the Ministry of War, two more documents were in a hurry to Liaodong. Looking at the two urgent handings written on rice paper, Xue Sancai felt like a huge rock in his heart.
After a long time, Xue Sancai waved his hand and ordered the scholars to call the ministers, doctors, and staff members in the hall. Military information is the affairs of the Ministry of War. Before knowing the cabinet and even convening a court discussion, the Ministry of War must take corresponding measures.
During the discussion, Huo Weihua, the doctor of the Ministry of War, proposed two measures, namely, immediately dispatched troops from various towns to support Liao, and also, must raise military funds immediately.
"Where can the soldiers in each town be distributed without pay? Only with pay can there be soldiers, and only with pay can there be warriors." Huo Weihua, who once served as the magistrate of Jintan, Nanzhili, was quite pragmatic.
Zhao Xingbang, the chief of the Military Affairs Department, muttered: "Liaodong has owed more than 500,000 military pay in recent years. No matter how difficult the Ministry of Revenue is, if you want to quell the chaos, you must send half of the emergency first, otherwise who will be willing to go into battle?"
"If the Ministry of Revenue does not give silver, I will submit a memorial. However, our Ministry of War also owes Liao Le's horses more than 100,000 taels of silver. We will make up some of the money for emergency treatment."
Xue Sancai made the decision, and the salary was settled. But when it comes to dispatching troops and generals, all the officials of the Ministry of War were in trouble because there were no generals available in this dynasty.
Li Chengliang died, Li Rusong died, Li Rumei died, and the other sons were too far apart. Only one Li Rubai had been in Liaodong at least, so he should not be an amateur. But how could Li Rubai do it alone? Everyone thought about others.
Some people say that Dumpling is feasible, but this person is quite brave and takes the lead in fighting and never retreats. He can be transferred to Liaodong.
It is also said that Liu Jing is feasible. He is the son of the Grand Governor Liu Xian. He fought against Burmese people in the southwest, Mongolians in Ningxia, Yang Yinglong in Bozhou, Japanese in Korea, and water battles with Chen Lin. He can be said to be a good general with both water and land, so he might as well transfer him to Liaodong.
It is also said that Ma Lin, the son of the famous general Ma Fang, is also fine. After everyone talks, Jiang Cai has mentioned a lot, but Shuai Cai has no further information.
The Ministry of War reached an agreement on the recruitment of troops and immediately dispatched troops from Gansu, Zhejiang, Fujian and other provinces to eliminate them.
In the specific plan, the Ministry of War plans to draw about 30,000 troops from Xuanfu, Datong and Shanxi; Yansui Town, Ningxia Town, Gansu Town and Guyuan Town, and sent a total of about 25,000 troops; Sichuan, Guangdong, Shandong, Shaanxi, North Zhili, and South Zhili, and sent a total of about 20,000 troops; Zhejiang is good at fighting the Zhejiang Army's infantry.
In addition, the chieftain soldiers in Yongshun, Baojing, and Shizhou, and the local soldiers in the east and west of the river, ranged from 20,000 to 30,000, totaling about 7,000 people.
By this calculation, the total number of troops aiding Liao Ming is about 86,000, which can also adjust the troops of Yehe's troops of the Ming Allied Army and the soldiers and generals of the vassal North Korea, with a total of more than 100,000.
In addition, there were more than 40,000 soldiers in Liaodong Town, and the Ming army on paper was more than twice that of the Jianzhou rebels.
So Xue Sancai reported the plan for salary and military affairs. The cabinet agreed to Xue's plan, but the Ministry of Revenue did not admit it, saying that there was no money to support such a large military operation.
The lawsuit between the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue broke out endlessly. Xue Sancai was so angry that he simply put on the burden and refused to do it. Fang Congzhe saw that this was not good, so he submitted a memorial to the emperor, suggesting that Huang Jiashan, who was given the title of Minister of War and Prince Taibao, went to Beijing to take over as Minister of War.
Huang Jiashan, who was already seventy years old, heard that there was something wrong in Liaodong and no one in charge of the Ministry of War, so he took office generously and went to the capital to discuss military affairs.
However, based on their understanding of the northern Tatar cavalry and years of experience in governing the army on the three sides, Huang Jiashan believed that although the Jianzhou rebels had only 60,000 to 70,000, they were all elite soldiers who followed Nurhaci to the Jurchens and Mongolia. If they fought together to attack the infantry and sailors temporarily drawn by the court from various places, they would probably be like tigers driving sheep and the Ming army would have to be defeated.
"Gather troops and let the generals contact each other's arms, advance in turn to defeat the enemy, and trap them; do not seek immediate benefits and success, and only hope to be flattened."
Huang Jiashan's opinion was very simple, which was to gather the army mobilized by the court, and rely on its advantages in troops and equipment, slowly advance towards Jianzhou, just like to abuse the enemy, making Jianzhou unable to chew or attack, and finally trap him.
However, the ministers involved in the court discussion were very impatient, and even accused Huang Jiashan of "avoiding things" and attacking them in groups.
The reason is that if Huang Jiashan's plan is implemented, the consumption of military pay and food alone is astronomical, and it is not something that the current treasury cannot afford.
Even if it is a big deal, the mainstream arguments hope to make a quick decision. Otherwise, if the user department officials say that if the delay is delayed, the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed.
After fighting, nothing can be found.
There was a lot of beacons everywhere in Liaodong, but the Ministry of War could not send out the official documents of the dispatch of troops. Fang Congzhe was really anxious, so he went to the palace to ask for a meeting with the emperor.
The Chief Aunt asked not for anything else, but only asked the emperor to give someone who could be the commander and preside over the overall situation of Liao.
He really couldn't bear this burden.
As the chief assistant, Fang Congzhe dared not act arbitrarily, nor even dared to clearly express his opinion on which side he supported. It was really hard to say.
Not long ago, his eldest son, Fang Shihong, the chief minister of the Ming Shangbao Bureau (Yinguan) was involved in a murder case.
Fang Shihong became a prodigal son in the capital because his father was a free official and was ignorant. When he was visiting a prostitute, he was involved in the incident of a woman who fell off a horse and died, so he was impeached by the censor of the city and was dismissed. At that time, people rumored that the prostitute was beaten to death by Fang Shihong, so they were discussed.
Fang Congzhe remarked on the local people's fate and wanted to resign.
After learning about this, Wanli, who was seriously ill, said that Fang Congzhe did not need to resign. Your son was mistakenly reported by the censor, and the woman was injured by a shocked horse. The court proved that she was very clear, and she was not beaten to death.
In this way, Fang Congzhe was able to continue to remain in office, but this incident damaged his image and greatly reduced his prestige.
If there was nothing wrong in Liaodong, Fang Congzhe could have been able to slow down for a while, but now it was a rainy day. With his current prestige, how could he take charge of this major event?
Fang Congzhe urgently needed one person to suppress the dissenting opinions of all parties, and quickly put the Liao incident down.
Fang someone chose this person. As early as more than a year ago, when Siming Gong Shen Yiguan passed away, Yao Zongwen of the Zhejiang Party gave Fang Xianggong 10,000 taels of silver, saying that he wanted Fang Xianggong to take care of one person.
Yang Hao.
When Yao Zongwen gave the money, he only said that Yang Hao was talented and familiar with Liao affairs and could be used in the future. But Fang Congzhe was in trouble, but now he has a foundation.
Didn’t Yang Hao know the Liao affairs, served as the governor of Liaodong, and also served as a strategy to aid Korea. He defeated the Mongolian Tuhua tribe during his tenure as Liaofu? Then let him go to Liaodong to pacify Jianzhou.
Fang Congzhe's request for advice naturally had to be seen, and the major military situation in Liaodong could no longer let Wanli do nothing.
"Yang Hao?"
