Chapter 189 It's Still Yang Yiqing

Liu Meng knew that he was punished for misinformation of military information, but he was still unwilling to publicize Emperor Zhengde's martial arts and even the entire group of noble and military generals, because this would only affect the status of their civil servant group.

However, what Liu Meng did not expect was that Caikuan was unwilling to cooperate with him, and even scolded him for missing the military opportunity, so he immediately stopped himself with Ma Wensheng.

"Don't forget that you are civil officials! Doing this will only make the military officials rise up!"

Liu Meng shouted at the closed door, then sat back on the chair angrily.

He was from the censor to the governor of Fujian, and he became the governor until the beginning of the fourth year of Zhengde. He was very unaware of the behavior of civil officials Caikuan and others who valued martial arts but neglected literary affairs. In the end, he had to curse again:

"Since ancient times, people who have both civil and military integrity have not been the right way, whether they use literature to martial arts or martial arts to civilize, they are not the right way. Now they are so magnanimous, Ma Wensheng and others are indeed not the right way!"

This feeling of being locked up made Liu Meng feel extremely uncomfortable, but when Zhang Lu shouted that he would be smashed into pieces, he still hid in the corner in fear, glad that he was locked up by Ma Wensheng, otherwise he would have been worried that he might be hacked to death by Zhang Lun.

Zhang Lun has now seen the literati's wiseness and wants to eat Liu Meng, who almost let the little prince go, but fortunately he still captured the little prince again.

Without waiting for Zhu Houzhao's order, Ma Wensheng first led his troops into Hetao.

Recovering Hetao has always been his long-cherished wish. After learning that the little prince was captured alive and there were no Taurus cavalry in Hetao, he would naturally recover Hetao immediately.

Zhu Houzhao received news about the regaining of Hetao in September of the fifth year of Zhengde.

The recovery of Hetao means that the border defense of the Ming Dynasty can be further strengthened. The Ming Dynasty can directly rely on Helan Mountain, Langshan, and Daqingshan to guard against the northern Tartars, and can harvest countless fertile fields. At the same time, there are many pastures with plump water and plants, which can also provide more good horses.

In addition, before this, Zhu Houzhao asked Qiu Yue to lead 15,000 Ming Dynasty cavalry to rescue the Mongolian right wing to destroy the little prince's 50,000, and even captured the little prince alive. He even ordered the border towns to attack the little prince's rear.

The achievements of the Ming Dynasty in the fourth year of Zhengde can be described as glorious.

Recover Hetao!

The destruction of the Mongolian left wing also caused the Mongolian right wing to greatly damage the strength of the Mongolian right wing and captured the little prince alive!

Although Zhu Houzhao has not yet had literary teachings, his martial arts have been painted with a rich and colorful stroke.

Zhu Houzhao naturally would not let some civil officials with ulterior motives hide their martial arts in the vast sea of ​​books. He wanted to write a lot about his brilliant achievements in Zhengde for four years!

Therefore, Zhu Hou gave Zhang Lun the order of the cabinet, ordered him to escort the little prince to Beijing, and he wanted to hold a grand prisoner offering ceremony.

At the same time, Zhu Houzhao also issued an order for the cabinet to discuss the rewards of merits and achievements with the six ministries, defeating Qiu Yue from the left wing of Mongolia, capturing Zhang Lun from the little prince alive, and Ma Wensheng who recovered Hetao all wanted to be awarded the title of merits.

but.

In this life, Zhu Houzhao will no longer create a general in the country like Zhengde in history, and will give him a title.

However, just when Zhu Houzhao was about to promote his martial arts, he received news that King Anhua Zhu Ai had raised an army to rebel.

However, this time, the manifesto of the rebellion of King Anhua Zhu Eun was not a historical attack on Liu Jin, but a purging the emperor and killing powerful officials Ma Wensheng, Jiao Fang, Xu Jin and others!

It was naturally because when Ma Wensheng was clearing the military farm in the border town, Zhu Jieli handed over many embezzled civilian farms and military farms.

The reasons for killing Jiao Fang, Xu Jin and others are naturally self-evident. That is because the cabinet intends to rectify the salt administration, which infringes on the interests of him, the vassal king.

As early as August of the fourth year of Zhengde, Tang Ren, the minister of the Ministry of Housing, submitted a memorial to advise the court to rectify the salt administration to implement border affairs and restore the system of paying grain and obtaining silver, thus opening the prelude to the discussion on rectifying the salt administration.

The news that the cabinet vote was planned to be passed quickly made the powerful and noble gentry know that King Anhua, who often does border trade, was naturally unwilling to let the court rectify the salt administration and cut off his own financial path.

Although all this was instructed by Zhu Houzhao, and cleaning up military farms in the border town was not just aimed at a vassal king Zhu Jie Li, all the powerful people in the border town were cleaned up, and the salt administration had not yet begun to rectify and even the ban on selling salt to the little prince had not been thoroughly investigated.

However, under the guidance of Ningxia health workers Sun Jingwen and Meng Bin and other literati, King Anhua, Zhu Zhili, had long been rebellious.

Now, because he heard that Zhu Houzhao had not returned the northern hunt and the Ming army was defeated. He thought that the time had come, King Anhua directly rebelled and first killed the governor An Weixue, general Jiang Han, governor eunuch Li Zeng, and others, and then prepared to seize the ferry, attempting to prevent the official army from entering the Ningxia Guard.

However, Caikuan had already been instructed by Zhu Houzhao to set up defenses in advance, which caused the rebels to fail to seize the ferry. Then Caikuan personally led a large army to cross the river, and within ten days he calmed down the rebellion of King Anhua.

The rebellion of King Anhua was like a joke, but the officials in the border town took this matter seriously and directly reported it to Beijing in an urgent manner, and even reported the manifesto to Beijing.

"Guyuan Governor Huang Ke reported that King Anhua planned to rebel against the rebellion. The manifesto wanted to kill the treacherous ministers who had stolen power. Now, Guanzhong has caused great shock. Please send a large army to conquer! Otherwise, the consequences will be unpredictable, and it may cause chaos in Guanzhong and the world will be in peace!"

Zhu Houzhao picked up the memorial and smiled faintly, and said to Xu Jin, Jiao Fang and others: "This is not a report on the enemy's situation. This is clearly a scare. King Anhua is just a vassal king, without soldiers and power. What kind of climate can it be? It is worthy of such shock to these people? Although I am good at the deep palace, I am not a timid person. I have made the Shaanxi general system unlucky to suppress the rebellion, and at the same time I strictly enforce military discipline and do not disturb the people!"

"I obey the order!"

Xu Jin and Jiao Fang both secretly admired His Majesty's wisdom. It can be seen at a glance that these border town officials were reporting the rebellion of King Anhua to the court, but in fact they were telling the court that the treacherous ministers had caused dissatisfaction with the vassal kings because they were full of the cabinet's major changes in national affairs. They wanted to scare Zhu Houzhao, and they had to kill them to calm the vassal kings' anger.

Fortunately, His Majesty, his foresight, was not enough for these officials to easily get trapped.

Because of this.

Regarding the rebellion of King Anhua.

The emperor, the cabinet, the Ministry of War and even the General Staff of the Guards were very calm.

The cabinet continued to study with the Ministry of Revenue how to reform the salt administration.

Emperor Zhu Houzhao began to be a dad, teasing three children with pink makeup every day, or touching Ruyi's increasingly bulging belly.

The General Staff of the Guards summarizes the Ming Dynasty's foreign military strategy in the following.

The Ministry of War will determine how many officers and soldiers will need to defend after recapturing Hetao.

Dong Tian, ​​the young minister of Dali Temple, made a memorial on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the fifth year of Zhengde, saying that the rebel army was in great power, and Your Majesty should immediately send important officials to take charge of the war to quell the border troubles.

Zhu Houzhao naturally burst into laughter after receiving this memorial. He only asked the cabinet to sign up for the memorial and approved it first, and asked the cabinet court to discuss and decide who will take charge of the battle.

Soon, the result of the cabinet's court discussion was before Zhu Houzhao, but the result of the court discussion was to use Yang Yiqing's general system of military affairs, with Bo Shenying of Jingyang as the general officer and eunuch Wei Bin supervising the army.

Zhu Houzhao naturally didn't really want these people to lead their troops to fight. He just wanted to see who was so anxious to make achievements and to become a leader in secret.

Yang Yiqing?

Zhu Houzhao remembers that in history, Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong conspired with Zhang Yong to get rid of Liu Jin by taking advantage of this command to fight against King Anhua.

However, in this life, Zhang Yong had already been executed.

Liu Jin took some blame for his emperor Ma Wensheng, Jiao Fang and other civil officials, which made Liu Jin, the chief supervisor of the Si Li, not so hated in this world. At most, he was scolded for being in a treacherous minister, just like Feng Bao in the Wanli period in history.

Zhu Houzhao is now accustomed to thinking about people's hearts. After all, the trajectory of history is changing, and he must think more. For example, now he is thinking about why the eunuch of the military supervisor who was introduced by the court in this life was Wei Bin.

People's hearts are separated from the belly. Although Zhu Houzhao knew that none of the officials in the court had a simple mind, he could not guarantee that he would definitely catch the thoughts of others. The only thing he could conclude now was that Yang Yiqing, Wei Bin and Shen Ying were both trying to make a contribution. In addition, these people might be thinking of taking this opportunity to plot to get rid of whom, just like Yang Yiqing joined forces with Zhang Yong to get rid of Liu Jin in history.

Although the current incident is different from the original history, Zhu Houzhao found that Yang Yiqing was the key to it, whether it was the current incident or the original history, Yang Yiqing was promoted to the general system by the court (just waiting for Zhu Houzhao to issue the order).

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao was sure that Yang Yiqing must be impatient with loneliness, or was thinking about getting rid of whom.

Now Zhu Houzhao knows that he doesn’t have to worry that the civil servants will deal with him directly, because there are already a group of officials who have the same interests as him.

In addition, his severe crackdown also allowed officials who were dissatisfied with the new policy to know the consequences of being in conflict. However, Zhu Houzhao believed that these civil officials who were good at internal fighting would still shift the finger to the cabinet ministers in power in the court, and might even be eunuchs in the Silijian.

Jiao Fang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, actually didn't understand why His Majesty the Emperor agreed to Dong Tian, ​​the young minister of Dali Temple, on sending troops to quell the rebellion. Therefore, on this day, he couldn't help but ask:

"Your Majesty! Didn't you unintentionally send troops to quell the rebellion? Did you just let Cai Kuan's camera quell the rebellion? But why do you have to hold a court meeting now and ask all officials to recommend someone who is suitable for commanding?"

"I agree to hold a court meeting and send troops to the expedition, but I don't want them to go to the expedition. The Ming Dynasty did not spend so much money and food on such useless efforts. If I don't do this, how can I know the thoughts of the people below?" Zhu Houzhao said, and ordered the cabinet and the generals of the Ministry of War to appoint Yang Yiqing and others to send troops. I will talk about it in a month.

When Jiao Fang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, sighed even more deeply in his heart that His Majesty the Emperor was unpredictable, and he hurriedly nodded and said yes.

Yang Yiqing was not a person who was willing to live in hibernation. He knew that what he wanted was to make achievements and entered the cabinet, but now he was almost sixty and had not yet become the Minister of Shang, so he wanted to seize the opportunity of Anhua rebellion and make another contribution.

But Yang Yiqing didn't understand Zhu Houzhao's thoughts.
