"Re-discussion on the Repair of Hetao" was just passed to the cabinet, and Xia Yan couldn't wait to invite Yan Song to discuss, preparing to urge Nanjing Minister of Revenue Yan Maoqing to desperately issue more salt in order to provide enough food and salary, so that Zeng Xian could summon 180,000 troops to recover Hetao in one fell swoop.

He thought Jiajing had retreated behind the scenes, and he really had the final say in the Ming Dynasty!

Who dares to make decisions about such a major thing except the emperor?

The prince Zhu Zaiji was shocked when he saw the memorial. Why are you so fat? You either replaced the six ministers or organized a large army to fight against the Tartars!

Have you ever considered my feelings? Is this a child still just a child?

As soon as you came to the regent, you were like taking the wrong medicine and doing things randomly. Who can withstand this?

He said he couldn't stand it at all!

Therefore, he simply ordered people to pass the memorial to the Ganqing Palace and asked his father, Jiajing, to take charge.

How do you say this?

Jiajing had heard of it for a long time, but when he actually saw the memorial, he frowned and pondered for a long time.

He is not as hot-headed as Xia Yan. Although he is not as old as Xia Yan, he is much more calm than Xia Yan.

This is the 180,000 army. How much food and salary is it, and how long does it take to fight?

Xia Yan stated in the ticket plan that he ordered the Minister of Revenue in Nanjing to issue additional salt turbulences to ensure the northwest military food and salary. The problem is that you don’t know how much food and salary you have, and you don’t know how long you will take to get more salt turbulences. Isn’t it a bit too hasty to ask people to issue additional salt turbulences?

If it were Zeng Xian's plan in history, Jiajing would not have agreed, because at that time, the southern and northern Japanese were in trouble. Both sides needed to organize troops to resist, and both sides needed money. How could he suppress all the food and wages that could be exchanged for salt quota?

However, at this time, the pirates and Japanese pirates were almost dealt with by Yang Cong, and the southeast coast was basically too peaceful. It would be impossible to suppress all the food and wages that could be exchanged for salt quotas to the northwest.

After thinking about it for a while, he still agreed to Zeng Xian’s plan and approved the memorial.

After all, he also wanted to be a wise king, and he wanted to be famous for his generation. If Zeng Xian really dealt with the Tartars, the Ming Dynasty's revival would be just around the corner. By then, he would become the leader of the revival.

The news reached the border, which was really exciting.

When Zeng Xian saw that Jiajing had criticized the memorials, Xia Yan also expressed his full support for him to deal with the Tartars, so he naturally recruited troops and prepared for war. Xuanfu, Datong and Taiyuan immediately gathered elite troops, and his momentum was like a rainbow, which scared Altan Khan, who was dominating Hetao!

This guy, Daming seems to be coming this time, and it's really a big trouble now.

He quickly organized major tribe leaders to discuss and prepare to resist the Ming army's attack.

The situation in the northwest suddenly became extremely tense, and the war seemed to be about to break out.

At this time, Zeng Xian was full of confidence and spirit, as if he had already recovered Hetao and dealt with the Tartars.

Question, can he really recover Hetao and deal with the Tartars?

If Xia Yan could give him enough support as if he was bragging about it, he would give him whatever he wanted;

If Yan Song could really urge Yan Maoqing, the Minister of Revenue in Nanjing, as he promised to do so, and provide him with enough food and salary;

If Hou Qiuluan of Xianning could be as active as him, desperately recruiting troops and fully cooperate with his actions.

He is really likely to succeed.

Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs in this world!

Many times, if you want to rely on others to achieve success, then you'd better be prepared for failure.

Xia Yan was too "naive" in this matter, while Zeng Xian was too ideal. Even if Yan Maoqing, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue of Nanjing, tried every means to transfer the food and salary for him, he might not be able to transfer it to him. He said that Yan Maoqing had no intention of transferring it to him at all.

This was originally Yan Song's chain plan, how could he really get enough food and grass?

He hasn't been hot for long, and Yan Maoqing poured a basin of cold water on his back.

He was recruiting troops and preparing for war again, and he was busy. The food and money promised by the court was not delivered to the three towns in Shanxi on time. Not to mention the food and money of the newly recruited 60,000 troops, even the food and money of the original 30,000 troops were not delivered on time!

What's going on?

Yan Maoqing's reply was that Yangming's lineage was secretly making trouble. All the salt merchants who were originally engaged in salt trading were removed by others. He was trying his best to contact the new salt merchants. It is estimated that they will have to wait for another month or two. After all, it will take time to contact the new salt merchants.

This is not a complete lie. The salt merchants who originally engaged in the salt induced business were indeed all taken away by Yang Cong. However, if you wait for a month or two, you will get food and salary, it is completely a lie, because Yan Maoqing was preparing to make a fortune by using the salt induced share. He made money, but in order to honor Yan Song or put it into his own pocket, he had never considered the food and salary of the northwest border troops!

So, Zeng Xian waited foolishly for a month or two, without waiting for a tael of silver or a grain of food, and a pile of useless salt intake!

Well, if you say that this salt quotation is useless, it is not entirely true. This salt quotation is still useful. As long as they are willing to endorse and receive the corresponding food and salary, this salt quotation can be exchanged for real salt in major salt fields.

The problem is that they have not received any food and salary at all, so how could they endorse others?

This salt induced is enough. The problem is that there must be a salt merchant who uses silver and grain to exchange it!

What should Zeng Xian do if he holds this pile of salt?

What else can he do? He can only keep urging the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue to ask the salt merchants to send food and salary.

If the salt businessmen were following the previous rules, the salt industry would get a share or make a promise to the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue that they would send the corresponding food, salary or supplies to the border town, and the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue would send it to the corresponding border town.

In other words, if the salt is brought to you according to the previous rules, the food and money will naturally arrive, and you just need to wait for a certain amount of time. After all, it takes time for the salt merchants to raise and transport food and money.

Zeng Xin thought that if the salt was brought, there would be no need to worry about food and salary. It would be a matter of time before he could hurry up and report to the court to Yan Maoqing, the Minister of Revenue of Nanjing. After all, he had just taken office, and Yangming's lineage withdrew all salt merchants. It would take time for him to reorganize salt merchants to transport food and salary to the border town.

Unfortunately, this is another if, and this if, it directly killed him.

He didn't know that Yan Maoqing had never negotiated with the salt merchants at all, nor had he let the salt merchants make any promises, so he triggered the salt to Shanxi.

In other words, it is not certain whether salt merchants will exchange these salt intakes with food and salary!

This trick was really beyond his expectations. He never thought that Yan Maoqing would cheat him like this as a "Xia Yan party".

Of course, he is not an idiot. If no salt merchants had sent food and wages, he would definitely find something was wrong. The problem was that after these salts were triggered, some salt merchants had sent food and wages one after another, but the amount they gave was not enough.

These salt merchants had no choice because Yan Maoqing was too dark and wanted more filial piety than Zhang Shiche's practice before he became the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing. Most of their money was used to buy the share of salt intake, so there was no enough money to exchange food and salary from the border town for salt intake.

If Zeng Xian could react at this time and quickly consult Xia Yan to discuss countermeasures, perhaps he would be saved.

Unfortunately, this is another if, there are so many ifs in this world.
