Lord of the House

Vol 10 Chapter 84: court battle

"Absurd!" Chen Xiyan didn't expect that Yu Xinyuan didn't move, Wang Xueshan jumped out to play the front line first, and he didn't care that the emperor was interested in listening to Wang Xueshan's eloquent talk, so he interrupted him directly and scolded, "Family and country matters, make a move. And the whole body, after the major military policy is decided, how can it be changed hastily? Moreover, the use of military policy after the autumn is a secret military and political matter. If there is a discussion, it can be reported to the Sage. Are you ready?"

"His Royal Highnesses are all important officials of the court, who can't know the secrets?" Wang Xueshan said a word to Chen Xiyan without showing weakness. There is no arrow in the bow, the face is torn apart, and if you don't fight to the death, you will never be good. Wang Xueshan has been in the officialdom for all these years, and this truth is clear in his heart.

"No one is perfect, no strategy is perfect, and the ministers offer their words, I don't think there is anything difficult to discuss..." Emperor Yongxing sat on the dragon chair and defended Wang Xueshan. Even if it is not in line with the rules, since Wang Xueshan finally brought up this topic, he will definitely not let Chen Xiyan dismiss Wang Xueshan easily.

"The war cannot be decided early, and the commanding ministers have troops outside, their power is getting stronger, and the court is getting weaker. According to the policy of military affairs after the autumn, it is not helpful to quickly solve the problems in Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi. "Yu Xinyuan threatened.

"Governing a country is like cooking small fresh food, how can there be a one-step solution?" Zuo Chengmu said.

Zuo Chengmu was appointed by the Jingzhou system and entered the Zhengshitang as his prime minister, and he had no deep connections with other forces, so he could speak impartially. He has also served in the local area for a long time, and can understand all kinds of drawbacks. He knows that letting Xie Chaozhong lead troops from southern Huizhou to attack western Zhejiang will do more harm than good, so he is on the same front as Chen Xiyan in this matter.

Yu Xinyuan spoke with the military commander and the soldiers and self-respect, and the implication was that Chen Xiyan helped Yue Lengqiu to raise the bandits self-respect.

"As a matter of fact, dispatching troops from southern Huizhou to western Zhejiang has advantages and disadvantages. It cannot be generalized. Maybe discuss it, and it is all right..." Wang Tian said something casually, but he was helping Wang Xueshan and Yu Xinyuan. .

Wang Tian, ​​as one of the ministers of the political affairs hall, said this, Chen Xiyan could not dismiss Wang Xueshan with "arbitrary comments".

Lin Xuwen was also surprised and suspicious. Wang Xueshan and Wang Tian have always been silent about Xie Chaozhong's dispatch of troops. After all, they have no deep entanglement of interests and should not be easily involved in right and wrong; and it is impossible to imagine that Yu Xinyuan, Xie What benefits can Chao Zhong promise to finally win Wang Xueshan and Wang Tian over!

"The combined force is strong, and the strength is weak," Lin Xuwen said. "Jiangning's full support for Jiangzhou's preparations is still insufficient. How can you support Huinan's use of troops?"

"In terms of troops and horses, Prime Minister Yue once said that it is enough for the soldiers of Luzhou to be controlled by them; Huinan uses troops, and the troops from the imperial army are transferred to make up for them, regardless of the strength of Jiangzhou." As the main leader, Xie Chaozhong stood up at this time, He said, "Speaking of war, it is like an eagle fighting a cunning rabbit. Even if you can defeat the enemy with three points of strength, you need to use ten points to ensure that you are safe! Without Huinan sending troops, does Huaidong have full confidence that he will be able to attack in the autumn. Down to Mindong?"

Fundamentally, Huaidong wants to drive the luxury family to Jiangxi, but this level of intention cannot be put on the table. Lin Xuwen also knew that Huaidong was strong, so that people would not directly target Huaidong, but what Huaidong insisted on, many people would subconsciously object.

Lin Xuwen knew that it was not good for him to talk too much. He only needed to show his attitude. Whether he could stop Xie Chaozhong from leading the army depended on Chen Xiyan, Zuo Chengmu and others. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Xie Chaozhong leads the army and lets Xie Chaozhong break up Yue Lengqiu's power, as long as Xie Chaozhong is not defeated in southern Huinan, it will ultimately help reduce the pressure on the luxury family in Jiangxi - this For Huaidong, the situation cannot be considered the worst.

"Although there are enough soldiers and horses, how to raise money and food?" Chen Xiyan asked.

"When the Royal Battalion went on an expedition, Jiang Ning's military equipment can save some of the money and food consumed. There is still a shortage. It should be Chen Xiang's concern, so how can he question Feng Anbo about this?" Yu Xinyuan said in a helper voice.

Wang Xueshan said: "The Ministry of Household can squeeze out some of the money and food that is lacking..."

Wang Xueshan's words have the most weight. Originally, the political affairs hall was stuck with money and food, but even if Emperor Yongxing decided to send troops, the matter could be delayed. Wang Xueshan said this, Emperor Yongxing could bypass the political affairs hall and the army leader and directly ask the Ministry of Household to raise money for the army's expedition.

Chen Xiyan was so angry that he vomited blood. He wanted to strengthen Jiangzhou before, but Wang Xueshan was evasive, and the Ministry of Household was unwilling to pluck a hair.

Emperor Yongxing looked at Zhang Yan with unusually sharp eyes.

Zhang Yan sighed inwardly, knowing that Wang Xueshan and Wang Tian jumped out to disrupt the situation, the emperor's mind became more and more firm, and it was difficult to change. If Chen Xiyan does not give in at this time, the emperor is afraid that he will force Chen Xi to speak his words on the spot; in the final analysis, whether this matter can be accomplished or not will always depend on the attitude of the emperor, Zhang Yan said: "The inner government may be able to squeeze out three or five. One hundred thousand taels of silver..."

"The imperial battalion is unusable, and if it is used in Huinan, Jiangning is in danger!" Chen Xiyan knelt down in front of the hall with a "splash", and he disagreed with Xie Chaozhong to lead the troops from Huinan to attack the west of Zhejiang.

"The left one is unusable, and the right one is unusable. Let me ask you, what does it mean to be useful?" Emperor Yongxing said sternly, "In the past two years, I have been there every time I perform martial arts, and although the military appearance and military prestige are not enough to call the common people a hero , but it’s also quite impressive. Besides, if you don’t experience war, when will the Imperial Army be able to use it?”

Lin Xuwen was silent, and Emperor Yongxing's mind was revealed.

Emperor Yongxing did not trust foreign soldiers. Even if he knew that the imperial army could not be considered elite, he believed that in the current situation on the southern front, Xie Chaozhong would not be a big threat to lead the troops to attack from southern Huinan. It was precisely the training of the imperial army. a chance……

Emperor Yongxing was eager to get rid of the current situation in which the vassal commander had more troops than the outside world. He had no elite troops and horses available. How could he reduce the military power of the vassal commander and vassal ministers?

This kind of urgency and even impatience made it difficult for Chen Xiyan to give him enough trust.

Chen Xiyan kowtowed at the front of the hall with a straight "bang bang", Emperor Yongxing spoke evil words against each other, and all the ministers of His Highness were panicked. Zuo Chengmu also walked to the front of the hall and knelt down, admonishing: "Huinan's military use, even if it is the best policy, should be treated with caution. Coming from Huizhou, passing through Ningguo to Jiangning, the mountains and rivers are easy, and there are no heavy troops to defend, Jiangning will be attacked by swordsmen. Dangerous...even if you have to use troops from southern Huizhou, it is better to use veteran Deng Yu."

"Deng Yu can be the deputy commander, and choose another veteran who is a veteran and has military affairs. He thinks that he will supervise the army and he can have a discussion in case of trouble. Even if he decides to send troops from Huinan, he will never use troops rashly," Yong said. Emperor Xing stood up with his sleeves thrown from the golden dragon chair, and said, "It's not that I didn't consider all the disadvantages you said. It's not that I haven't experienced dangers since I ascended the throne. How can I seek safety in everything?"

"Emperor Shengming!" Cheng Yuqian knelt down and made a promise.

He has always been in which direction the wind has fallen, and the current situation is already obvious. Besides, the foundation of the Yuying Army was the Jiangning garrison, and Cheng Yuqian would not admit that the Imperial Army was useless at all.

The fact that Xie Chaozhong led the troops didn't seem to be good, but at least it didn't seem to be bad at the moment. Besides, who can say that when Xie Chaozhong leads his troops out of Huinan, he will definitely lose the battle?

Seeing that Emperor Yongxing has made up his mind, Wang Xueshan, Wang Tian, ​​Cheng Yuqian, Zhang Yan and other important officials have all succumbed. Chen Xiyan also knows that it is useless for him to fight alone. Is it true that he wants to force him with excuses?

Chen Xiyan crouched in front of the hall with a sullen face and said, "If this old minister can survive the new year with his crippled body, please ask the emperor Xu Laochen to report illness and return to his hometown..."

"Chen Aiqing, you are loyal to the imperial court, I know in my heart, don't say such angry words again..." Emperor Yongxing was annoyed that Chen Xiyan didn't give him face, but he was also afraid that Chen Xiyan would be picky at this time, looked at Lin Xuwen, and asked, "Lin Aiqing, what do you think?"

"The emperor decided to do this, the ministers could not remonstrate, but the ministers dared not agree. The death of Qiang Zhao began as a war on paper..." Lin Xuwen said word by word.

"Enough!" Emperor Yongxing didn't think that Lin Xuwen was talking about these disappointing words at this time, so he stopped to let him talk nonsense any more, with a gloomy face, he said angrily, "If you want to perish, you will also perish my world, it's not your turn. You make irresponsible remarks!"

"Your Majesty calms down, this minister is also blunt. Loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth." Lin Xuwen knelt down and pleaded guilty, thinking that Huaidong might only be able to take the chestnut out of the fire.

"Humph!" Emperor Yongxing snorted coldly.

"According to Wei Chen's opinion, we must guard against the preparations of the Zhejiang-Fujian rebels in western Zhejiang. It can be announced to the outside world that Feng Anbo will be sent to Jiangzhou to replace the prime minister," Yu Xinyuan said. It can also catch the Zhejiang and Fujian rebels by surprise..."

"What a good strategy to attack the east and attack the west~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Emperor Yongxing praised," The matter discussed today, all the Aiqings must not leak the slightest rumor, otherwise, they will be punished as collaborating with the enemy! "

Lin Xuwen sneered in his heart: The strategy of repairing the plank road in the Ming Dynasty and crossing the Chencang in the dark, where can anyone do it? The She family was blind, so they could not see the problems in Huinan.

****************

It was a foregone conclusion that Xie Chaozhong would lead the army to the expedition. After the court discussion, Lin Xuwen didn't even bother to go to the political affairs hall, and Huaidong had to prepare for the worst situation.

"Master Lin!"

Lin Xuwen turned around and saw Chen Xiyan calling out to him from behind, stopped and asked, "What are your orders from Chancellor Chen?"

"Huidong really doesn't want Xie Chaozhong to lead the army?" Chen Xiyan asked.

Lin Xuwen looked at Chen Xiyan's forehead, leaving a blood stain, and sighed in his heart: Back then, Chen Xiyan was unscrupulous in order to find a relationship. He didn't expect that the courtiers of the Man Dynasty were the only one who was truly loyal to the Yuan family at this time.

"Xie Chaozhong is eager to seek merit, and it is easy for the enemy to take advantage of this, which is one of the disadvantages; the more difficult it is for Xie Chaozhong and Deng to reconcile, the second is the disadvantage," Lin Xuwen said, "With these two disadvantages, how could Huaidong support Xie Where is Chao Zhong leading the army?"

"If Huaidong sends troops to Mindong immediately, is it feasible?" Chen Xiyan asked.

"The turmoil in the East China Sea is bad, and Huaidong's use of troops against Mindong at this time is more dangerous than Xie Chaozhong's leadership." Lin Xuwen said.

At this time, Huaidong used troops against Mindong, and Xie Chaozhong dragged on for three months to lead troops to Huizhou, but he couldn't make any mistakes. But at this time, there are frequent storms in the East China Sea, and it is not a last resort. How could Huaidong let tens of thousands of generals take such a big risk and travel through the stormy East China Sea by sea boat?

There was no room for negotiation at all, and Lin Xuwen rejected Chen Xiyan's temptation. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
