Come to Daming with military supplies

Page 282

Hearing his innocence, Cao Jixiang kowtowed his head on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, I think the matter in Yunnan is not unsolvable. The reason why all the armies are progressing slowly and have no victory is because the generals in front are afraid of the enemy. As the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and there is no one to supervise. I am afraid that the imperial decree is not enough for them to do their work with all their strength? The minister asked to send the supervisory army to the front line to put pressure on them. A pair of eyes are looking at them, staring at them, not worrying about whether they dare to do their best and dare to sacrifice their lives."

Finally understood what Cao Jixiang said, Zhu Qizhen frowned deeply: "Cao Aiqing means to send eunuchs to the front line to supervise the army?"

"I'm afraid, the people I send can arrange the emperor's confidants as much as possible, and I won't say anything more about this matter." Cao Jixiang said without admitting or denying it.He was afraid that his suggestion would give Yingzong the idea that he wanted to seize power and intervene in military power, so he didn't dare to say anything more this time.

Originally, the Ming Dynasty had a system of supervising the army. Whenever there was a war, eunuchs would be sent there. They were called supervising the army. They actually guarded the generals on behalf of the emperor, and then reported their performance in secret.

Facts have also proved that with the eunuch's supervising army, the generals in front did not dare to neglect. In the ears of the emperor, the future is boundless.

But since the civil engineering defeat, for the sake of Yingzong's reputation, everyone has attributed the failure to Wang Zhen. Some people even said bluntly that fighting is not a child's play, how could it happen that laymen guide experts?

That is, since then, the eunuch's suggestion to supervise the army has been rejected.This also made the entire eunuch group survive only around the emperor. Otherwise, they without military power may be eliminated and replaced at any time.

For the matter of supervising the army and winning the military power, these eunuch leaders tried to solve it more than once, but the lessons learned from Wang Zhen's past were there, and it was even more difficult to change.

But now, the opportunity seems to be here.Zhu Qizhen's dissatisfaction with the situation in Yunnan made Cao Jixiang, who was following beside him, see an opportunity, so he said as if he was going to die.

Cao Jixiang's attitude of serving the country and the people moved Zhu Qizhen.He also felt that the imperial power seemed to have insufficient control over the war in Yunnan, and it was not that he hadn't thought about sending eunuchs to supervise the army.Although it is said that this move may have the disadvantages of laymen guiding experts, it is undeniable that having eunuchs on the front line will indeed allow the imperial power to reach the army better and enable the army to fight bravely.

In the past, it was because of the influence of Wang Zhen and the obstruction of hundreds of officials that the example of the eunuch and supervising army had to be stopped, but now that the cochin is so rampant, he proposed to send eunuchs and supervising the army at this time, no one will say anything Alright.What's the matter, everyone wants the queen to be his wife, so why don't the emperor be allowed to fight back?

"Okay, my companion is dedicated to the country, and his loyalty can be learned. That is the case. He ordered Qian Liang to be the eunuch of the Yunnan War Supervision Army, and supervised the generals to fight the enemy bravely on the battlefield. If anyone disobeyed, he could be punished according to the law."

Zhu Qizhen finally opened his mouth and personally named Qian Liang.Cao Jixiang was not surprised by this, and knocked his head to the ground again, "Your Majesty is wise, long live, long live, long live."

Who is Qian Liang?He is the nephew of the great eunuch Qian Sengbao.Qian Sengbao thought that when he was outside the Yang family of the Northern Ming Dynasty, he was the one who fought with Jin Ying, and he was also a veteran of the Yingzong.Later, he came to Nanjing with his ministers, but because of the influence of Wang Zhen, he has been very low-key recently.

The purpose of dormancy is to equal the opportunity, and now the opportunity has finally come, and finally it will soar into the sky.

It seems that Qian Liang is Qian Sengbao's person, and it seems that he and Cao Jixiang still have some quarrels on weekdays.But that's just for outsiders to see. In fact, since they came to Nanjing, these eunuchs have united abnormally. Maybe they also know that if they don't do this, it will be difficult for them to have a bright future.So on the surface everyone dislikes each other, but secretly the relationship is very good.This time Cao Jixiang made a suggestion. He never thought that he would send his own person to be the supervisor of the army. He only needs to have eunuchs to go, and it is tantamount to achieving his goal. As for whoever it is, he has a close relationship with him. up.

Zhu Qizhen's imperial decree was issued afterwards, and Qian Liang also left Kyoto with a group of Jinyi guards and went straight to Nanjing.This scene was seen by many courtiers, but this time no one voiced any objection.

If you want to blame it, you can blame the king of Jiaozhi for speaking too wildly, and if you want to blame it, you can blame the opportunity for these eunuchs to choose to be the first, so good that the courtiers are powerless to resist.

In the Kuang Mansion in Kyoto.

Kuang Ye, who was entrusted to his family to recuperate his illness, although he could not leave the mansion, he could not go to court to meet the emperor.However, his position as Minister of the Ministry of War has not changed, and some people will send him news as soon as possible about some major events and minor events in the court.

When he learned that the emperor sent eunuchs to supervise the army to the front line in Yunnan, Kuang Ye let out a long sigh, "Has the emperor forgotten about Wang Zhen's future troubles? Don't you know that doing so will only make the situation worse. "

After a long sigh, Kuang Ye couldn't help thinking of Yang Chendong's appearance in his mind.

Having been Minister of the Ministry of War for so many years, Kuang Ye is a man who knows soldiers well.The complex and chaotic situation in Yunnan can be solved by sending a eunuch to supervise the army?I'm afraid that if these eunuchs go, not only will it not help them, but it will make the situation even more chaotic.So who's going to sort things out there in the end?It seems that it should be placed on Yang Chendong's body.

Regarding the treatment of Yang Chendong, it was after Kuang Ye returned to the mansion that the court gave the result.

It is true that the birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hidden.But the problem is that there are still flying birds, and there are so many of them, he doesn't understand why Yingzong is so anxious to hide Yang Chendong in the snow.

It's just that it has become a fact, and now what we need to know is how to change the result, not to investigate the cause. "Come here, take a pen and grind the paper and inkstone, I want to write a letter to Guan Ying"

Chelisi, the temporary location of King Min's Mansion.

Chelisi's full name is Cheli Xuanweisi, which is now Manjinglan in the southeastern suburb of Jinghong City, Yunnan Province.

This is the place chosen by King Min before he declared his independence. Because of the complex terrain and the distance from the Central Plains, it was chosen as the new Longxing place.

This original Fanwang is now the residence of the Minzhuang King.At this time, the inside and outside are heavily guarded, and men with knives and guns can be seen everywhere to ensure that even a fly cannot fly into the yard without the red flag.

But in such a heavily guarded place, a man wearing a soft gauze Tang scarf and a purple embroidered robe, holding a white paper folding fan, has a slender figure and a face like a crown jade. With a three-point smile, he has an elegant and noble temperament, but the son in his twenties walks on the stone steps in this courtyard like a stroll in the yard.

From time to time, he would look left and right, as if looking for the beauty of the courtyard.

Regarding the appearance of this young master, all the guards acted as if they hadn't seen him. No matter where his eyes fell, it seemed to be a matter of course.

"Young Master Yao, Young Master Yao, why did you come here, but it's easy for the servants to find." Two anxious maids came to the young young master, panting coquettishly while talking, seemingly Complaining about something.

"Hehe, thank you for your hard work, but is the county chief looking for me?" There was a trace of a smile on the young son's face, and just this smile gave people the feeling of being like a spring breeze.

"Yes, the princess has already prepared a new piece of music, just waiting for Mr. Yao to appreciate it together." The two maids kept nodding.After saying this, he couldn't help but grab the young man's arm and walked straight to another yard.

Regarding this, Mr. Yao still kept a smiling face, allowing the two women to tug at each other, but only a faint trace of murderous intent was hidden deep in the corner of his eyes. He was remembering every scene in the courtyard, Including how many guards there are, where they are distributed and so on.

Chapter 4 Fifteen: Yao Yingjun

Mr. Yao, surnamed Yao, surnamed handsome.In fact, he himself lived up to his name, very handsome.

His appearance belongs to the sunny and energetic type of man. In today's terms, he is the kind of small fresh meat, with big eyes and fair complexion. Even the skin of many women is far behind.As soon as such a man appeared, he would attract the attention of those women.

But what everyone doesn't know is that Yao Yingjun has another identity, Yang is the trump card agent of the Security Bureau.

This time, he came to King Min's territory, and his mission was to break into the enemy's interior and obtain internal information.But I never thought that when he appeared in Chelisi, he was attracted by Zhu Lian, the younger sister of Minzhuang King, because of his extraordinary demeanor and temperament. Following Yao Yingjun came to his home.

For this, Yao Yingjun is naturally eager. In this way, if Lang Youqing and concubine are interested, he will become a frequent visitor in this palace, so much so that all the guards here know him.Before adding Princess Yongsheng, I have ordered that everyone who sees Mr. Yao should be as polite as seeing her, so she can walk around the mansion at any time without any restrictions.

Besides, Yao Yingjun followed the two maids to the courtyard belonging to Princess Yongsheng, while talking politely and chatting, "Strange, why is this courtyard so quiet today?"

"Master Yao doesn't know something. The princes have all gone to the barracks. It seems that the battle ahead is a little tense."

"Yes, I've heard that too. But no matter what? It's none of our women's business, and Mr. Yao, although you are a man, you have a good skin. As long as you please our princess, you can The glory and wealth of a lifetime."

Two female maids, you talked to me.When he saw Yao Yingjun looking at them, he couldn't help but smiled shyly again.Obviously, this good skin not only deeply attracted Princess Yongsheng, but also had a great attraction to these maids.

Yao Yingjun was very annoyed by others saying that he had a good skin, but in order to complete the task, he remained calm on the surface, but he was already thinking about what the military camp meeting was about. It shouldn't be difficult for the younger sister who loves her the most to know, how can he draw words out of it?

In the military camp five miles outside the city from King Min's Mansion, Zhu Huikun, King of Minzhuang, Zhu Huikun, King of Guangtong, and Zhu Huikun, King of Yangzong, were holding a military meeting with their subordinates.

To say that the three sons born by Zhu Wei are quite capable.At least they still have some talents under their command. It is precisely because of the operation of these people that they have achieved their current scale and become a headache for Huang Zong and Zhu Qizhen.

These so-called talents include Duan Youhong who is good at miraculous skills, Meng Neng who is brave and capable of fighting, Chen Tian who is eloquent and eloquent, and Yu Libin who can meet people and know some magic tricks, etc.

It was the existence of these talents that made the situation in Yunnan more and more chaotic, and also allowed them to form a temporary alliance with Jiaozhi and Miao Jun, and forced the Mu family not to move.

If this situation continues, the Nanming army will fall into complete passivity before the war of attrition lasts long, and then the entire Yunnan may fall, and then expand the battle situation outwards, so as to achieve a partial settlement first, and finally seek the Central Plains , Seize the general trend of the world.

But after Mu Bin was named King of Xiping, the battle situation and situation also changed.

"Is Yingzong crazy? When people with different surnames can become kings, will this world belong to my Zhu family in the future?" Yangzong king Zhu Huikun was the most impatient, and he was also the youngest of the three brothers. complained.

Regarding Yingzong's decision, which one of them can understand.From their point of view, even if the world is taken over by them in the future, it will still be ruled by the Zhu family, which is what the so-called meat rots in the pot.But now people with different surnames can also become kings, which makes it more variable.

"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this, let's think about what to do next. It is impossible for Mu Bin, who was named king, to wait and see as before. He should make a big move soon. We should How to deal with it is the major issue for everyone to discuss together now." Zhu Huixun, the king of Minzhuang, who is also the real boss of everyone, said aloud at this moment.Then he set his eyes on Guangtong King Zhu Huixuan and said, "Second brother, let's talk about it, what should we do next."

"Okay." Zhu Huixun nodded to Zhu Huixun first, and then he glanced at the crowd before speaking slowly, "Mu Bin was named King of Xiping, even for this title, he is He must be an enemy of us. He fantasized about being able to unite with him, and even promised to give him a share of the world. The decision-making must be changed. Fortunately, the talks at Jiaozhi collapsed. Hehe, I don’t know who helped us In such a hurry, he actually killed the envoys sent by the Yingzong."

When Zhu Huixuan said this, everyone was sneering.Obviously, everyone has the same opinion on this matter, that is, this matter should be done by someone sent by King Jiaozhi Lili, but the other party does not admit it, and since we are all allies now, there is no need to be certain about this matter. Ask the other party to admit something.

"The Jiaozhi Kingdom will not retreat, but will be forced to a place where there is no way to retreat. Next, we can discuss how to deal with King Xiping's army together. It must be difficult for anyone to take advantage of it in a short period of time. As for How to deal with the army of the Southern Ming court still needs to be discussed and come up with a countermeasure." When Zhu Huixuan said this, his eyes naturally fell on Duan Youhong who was standing below.
