On Zhang Zhou's way out of the palace, Zhang Heling followed behind him with a smile. He was no longer as contemptuous and arrogant as before, and he was very flattering and flattering to Zhang Zhou.
"Shou Ning Hou, I don't feel comfortable with you talking to me like this."
Zhang Zhou almost wanted to say, you can recover and use the domineering behavior before. Speak to me in a tone that will make you feel at ease even if I cheat you.
You have changed your face like this, I am embarrassed to have cheated you.
Zhang Heling said, "Mr. Zhang, you are too polite. I just keep talking as usual. As long as you can support me more in the future, we will go to Xuanfu together."
"Well "Zhang Zhou had told Queen Zhang about this before, "Your Majesty has prepared to transfer the first batch of students from Yanwu Hall to Xuan Mansion. We have been setting off cannons around the capital before, and you have all learned how to do it. , the next step is to mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers from Jiubian, and go over and learn from them. If nothing happens, we will go out of the fortress, hunt and fire off artillery. If the Tatars dare to come, they will bombard them back directly."
" Interesting, interesting." Zhang Heling felt that this was very suitable for him.
You can earn credit, and it sounds so relaxed and comfortable, as if there is no danger to your life.
Zhang Zhou said, "Don't be afraid of hard work."
"Don't be afraid. Even my second brother can resist it. What's so scary about me, Mr. Zhang? If we want to start a war, don't you think so?" Give me an official position like Chief Military Officer, and I also want to gain military merit." Zhang Heling begged again with a stern look on his face.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "It's rare that Hou Ning, you have the heart to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. How can I not be satisfied with you? I will give you someone who is both stable and capable of meritorious service. It is best to be the first in the army." Position, return in triumph, let everyone in the government and the public know what you are capable of."
"Haha, good, good"
Zhang Heling looked excited and seemed to have already taken credit for tomorrow's achievement. It can happen to you.
Zhang Zhou frowned secretly when he saw Zhang Heling almost dancing. < /p>
"You believe it?" Zhang Zhou is really a real person, and he also wants to ask the people who were deceived for their thoughts.
It’s like selling Zhang Heling, and you have to ask Zhang Heling how he felt after being sold.
Zhang Heling smiled and said, "Of course I believe it. Zhu Zhijie can become any birdman. Why shouldn't I say it again? Zhu Zhijie didn't go with Mr. Zhang, he just listened to a few instructions from Mr. Zhang. If This is what my mother and sister said when I had the opportunity to fight together in front of my husband."
"Haha"
Zhang Zhou wanted to say.
As expected, children who are pampered at home are easily deceived by female elders in the family.
"Okay, okay, Hou Ninghou, let's make great achievements together." Zhang Zhou smiled.
"Definitely, definitely." Zhang Heling also responded.
The two seemed to have never been so closely related, as if they were comrades in the same trench.
The Ministry of War Yamen.
Li Dongyang, on behalf of the cabinet, came to discuss with Ma Wensheng about sending troops to the Xuanfu. It was also because the emperor sent Dai Yi to inform the cabinet to inform Zhang Zhou about his preparations to train troops in the Xuanfu.
Li Dongyang also wanted to ask Ma Wensheng for his opinion on this matter.
"Zhang Bingkuan actually said that he was going to practice artillery for combat training." Ma Wensheng also frowned when he heard the news.
No matter how you look at it, Zhang Zhou doesn’t seem to be serious about sending troops. Since he wants to send troops to the grassland, the 10,000 troops and horses proposed by Zhang Zhou are far from enough. Instead, Zhang Zhou’s people are announcing The mansion is located near the granary in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty, and it is easy to be overwhelmed by Zhang Zhou.
Li Dongyang said, "The cabinet doesn't quite understand what he means. Logically speaking, the military affairs should be kept strictly confidential in advance, but at present, it seems that he intends to publicize the matter. His true intention, really What I want is to fight to the death with the Tatars on the grassland."
Ma Wensheng thought for a moment and shook his head.
"I have been in the military for many years and have never seen such a way of using troops. However, the strategies and methods of running the army he used in the two battles at Pianguan and Ningyuan are unprecedented."
What Ma Wensheng means is that although I don’t know what he is going to do, it looks like he is pretty awesome at it.
Li Dongyang asked, "Your Majesty originally intended to give the Ministry of War and the imperial court ten days to plan together, but now he has stopped planning and is letting him do whatever he wants."
Ma Wensheng heard it immediately, Now the cabinet knows that it is not easy to oppose this matter, and is ready to let the Ministry of War take the lead.
"It is not impossible to mobilize only 10,000 troops and move the defense focus in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty to the Xuan Mansion in the name of artillery drills," Ma Wensheng said, "Looking at the current situation, it is It is a side pass where the city gate is missing, and there is no worry of Tatar invasion. Xuanfu Chen Bing can also stabilize the capital. I can't think of any reason to object."
Ma Wensheng doesn't care about Zhang Zhou now. If you do it right, Zhang Zhou will not take the initiative to oppose it if he has not encountered any setbacks in the army.
Just like the reason why it is difficult for the cabinet to oppose it now.
Zhang Zhou was victorious day after day, and whoever sang the opposite and found loopholes would not make this person or this group of people look awesome, but would be viewed as a clown by the emperor.
Ma Wensheng asked, "How many troops from the Beijing camp are you planning to mobilize?"
"Three thousand."
Li Dongyang didn't hide it either.
Dai Yi previously informed the cabinet and what he said was very detailed.
The number of people transferred to each place in Jiubian is proportional. It does not mean that any town will have a chance to transfer a few more people.
Even the cabinet knows that if each town in the Nine Borders is allowed to choose the personnel to be transferred to the Xuanfu exercise, each town will have to allocate more than the proportion, for no other reason than that the artillery is now being blown up to its magic. Who among the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty’s border army did not want to have class conflicts?Po
Going to Xuan Mansion to practice troops, and following Zhang Zhou to practice artillery, no matter how you look at it, it is a first-come-first-served opportunity. Just like the first batch of students in the Yanwu Hall, all those nobles have high expectations. Aren’t all the people at the top rushing to become trainees
Li Dongyang said, "If there is no objection from the Ministry of War, or if the government goes to court tomorrow, His Majesty will arrange it, and it will be difficult to object at that time."
Ma Wensheng asked, "Previously Mr. Liu Ge said that it might be a good choice for Zhang Bingkuan to go to the northwest, but he never told you."
Li Dongyang frowned.
Seeing that the Ming Dynasty Conference was about to be completed, according to the agreement between the emperor and his ministers, Zhang Zhou would soon be promoted to the rank of bachelor. At this juncture, it was actually a good thing for Zhang Zhou to go to the northwest to lead the army.
Ma Wensheng sighed, "It depends on what kind of official position your Majesty will give him. Now that I think about it, it would be better for him to serve as a distinguished minister of the Governor's Mansion than to stay in Hanyuan or Liubu."
Li Dongyang continued silence.
Zhang Zhou now has the military title of "Commander and Governor of the Rear Army Governor's Mansion" and the civilian title of "Mr. Zhong of the Qing Li Division of the Ministry of War Arsenal". If Zhang Zhou is allowed to go to Xuan Mansion to rule The army will at least give Zhang Zhou the official position of governor of the Xuanfu. At that time, it will be nothing more than directly adding the title of Youqiandu censor to the official position of Langzhong like Wang Qiong did. However, it seems that the emperor is not limited to letting Zhang Zhou be the governor. Governor of the government.
The governor of Xuanfu in the Ming Dynasty was more responsible for managing military pay in the past.
The emperor may have wanted Zhang Zhou to be the Trilateral President, or to declare the Great President.
It depends on how the emperor coordinates the relationship between Zhang Zhou and Qin Hong.
The next day, Zhang Zhou did not go to the Fengtian Palace.
Zhu Youtang was in court and directly announced to the public the matter of artillery demonstration in Xuan Mansion proposed by Zhang Zhou.
When Zhu Youtang explained that this time he was just going to the battlefield for military exercises, and that he would pull out 200 artillery pieces from the barrier without any problems, and then come back after firing the cannons, so as to practice in battle, the group of officials on the scene also Looking at each other.
Zhang Zhou’s proposal cannot be called bold. In their opinion, it is simply unreasonable.
Zhang Mao walked out and said, "With the power of Shenwei's long-range artillery and heavy artillery, the Tatar tribes will not dare to approach easily if they are not sure that the target is their own. This is to prevent them from becoming the targets of the Ming Dynasty's new artillery." . By then, I am afraid that even the Tatar herdsmen will not be seen for hundreds of miles around Xuanfu."
"Hahaha"
Wuxun present was overjoyed.
The civil servants were disgraced.
The court hall once again became a scene of confrontation between civil servants and Wu Xun. Wu Xun suddenly felt that his back was hardened because the Ming Dynasty was about to take the initiative, and relying on the two hundred cannons cast in advance, the Ming Dynasty Wu Xun can regain his glory.
Zhu Youtang said, "Dear gentlemen, there are some things that I don't want to hide. In fact, Zhang Qing's family also has a purpose for performing artillery exercises in Xuan Mansion, which is to use the power of the artillery exercises to move the northeastern part of Zhangjiakou Fort. The iron ore mine was taken over and used to mine iron ore and cast cannons on the spot."
"Ah"
Not only were the civil servants in an uproar, but even Wu Xun didn't expect it.
I went to fire cannons, actually to cast more cannons
Zeng Jian, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have never heard that there are iron ores near Zhangjiakou."
p>
Zhu Youtang said angrily, "Bingkuan knows astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom. He said there are iron mines over there. Is it just to please the public?"
After the emperor said this, the scene immediately It's fried.
Many ministers were filled with indignation, feeling that the emperor was favoring a traitor and listening to slander.
On the other hand, Wu Xun was talking in surprise. This Zhang Shijiao was indeed an extraordinary person. He used artillery to rob the iron mine and the emperor gave him the iron ore mining rights. How could he do this? Blatantly using power for personal gain, and telling the emperor to know, who will then inform the ministers
How else can we say that people can realize their majors?
What if we can do it some time? If you know astronomy and feng shui, and you can directly find out where the mineral veins are, doesn't that mean you are developed?
"Quiet," Zhu Youtang said sternly.
The civil servants at the scene stopped their private discussions.
Zhu Youtang said, "Bingkuan is determined to cast cannons for the imperial court and improve firearms, so as to establish the Ming Dynasty's position in the northwest. I plan to use him as the general commander of Xuanfu, Datong, and Pianguan." Waiting for military affairs, he was also asked to take charge of the defense of Zijing, Daoma and Juyong Nei. Based on Xuanfu, he could send troops to the grassland at any time. I don’t know if you have any objections."
Every civil official. His face was ashen.
Sure enough, he wanted to promote Zhang Zhou to a civil servant in charge of the northwest army and give him the post of Xuanda General Secretary. Even the three inner passes were handed over to Zhang Zhou.
In doing so, the emperor was simply "employing a traitor."
Zhang Mao said, “Although Zhang Zhou had never set foot in the northwest and had no experience in leading troops, with his army management methods, the Ming Dynasty won successive victories. There are many praises. Your Majesty's move can be said to have established the millennium foundation of the northwest of the Ming Dynasty. "
Disgusting
The ministers present almost wanted to rush out and scold Zhang Mao.
You, Old Man Zhang, are getting jealous now. Knowing that Zhang Zhou is going to the northwest as a civil servant and that your military status cannot be threatened for the time being, you might as well just ignore it and stand blindly on the emperor's side. He even blew the emperor’s rainbow fart there.
Do you want face?
Zhu Youtang seemed to have known for a long time that his proposal would be supported by Wu Xun, and asked Liu Jianda, "Mr. Liu Ge, what do you think?"
p>
Liu Jianmo said that he didn’t want to object now. Even if he wanted to object, he couldn’t.
Wang Yue died, saying that transferring Qin Hong to the northwest can stabilize people's hearts, but can it really be done?
No matter how awesome Qin Hong is, he is still several times worse than Wang Yue Rank, and in the Northwest Army, it is generally believed that Zhang Zhou is several ranks higher than Wang Yue.
Has anyone seen a coach who can win a decisive victory thousands of miles away, who can even know in advance where the enemy will attack, and who can make calculations?
No matter how awesome Wang Yue is, that's not the case.He is just a human being, but Zhang Zhou is closer to a half-immortal.
Liu Jiandao, "Your Majesty, I don't know about Qin Hong who has just been transferred to Pianguan"
"I am going to send him to Yansui, south of Hetao, with the military affairs of Yansui and other departments. We should take precautions in other places to prevent the Tatars from taking the opportunity to cause trouble on the three sides when Bingkuan is preparing to send troops." Zhu Youtang said.
When the emperor made this proposal known, even those picky civil servants felt that the emperor's idea was simply ahead of his time.
In the past, the biggest problem in suppressing traps in the northwest was the inconsistent coordination of all parties.
Now it’s better. Zhang Zhou, a master of artillery in the east, is there to deter, and there is an engineering madman in the west. Qin Hong is responsible for defending this combination of young and old. Their advantages are complementary and they can be said to complement each other.
Liu Jian asked again, "I don't know what position Zhang Zhou will take."
Zhu Youtang said, "I don't want to promote him to a high position prematurely. His previous official positions and subordinates remain unchanged. He is temporarily appointed as the right minister of the Ministry of War and the right deputy to the censor of the capital, the prime minister, and other military affairs. If he is successful in his trip to the northwest, I will give him a reward at my discretion. If not, After returning to the capital, everything will return to the original position."
Even if he is temporarily transferred, he will be given the additional official position when he returns.
Sounds reasonable.
But what the emperor said, "If you have merit, you will be rewarded as appropriate" will make the ministers feel that if Zhang Zhouzhen makes some achievements in the northwest, he may not just be a false minister of the Ministry of War. , he may be directly appointed as Minister of the Ministry of War.
Being able to be the Right Minister of War in the first year after entering the court, even if it is just a false position, it sounds very scary.
Many people are looking at Ma Wensheng, Liu Jian and others, hoping that they will come out to oppose.
After all, from the perspective of Ming Dynasty officialdom, no matter what achievements Zhang Zhou made, he should not be qualified to lead the military affairs of the northwest with the title of right minister of the Ministry of War after entering the court for just three months.
But none of Liu Jian and others came out to object, and even the six ministers were silent. They all seemed to feel that Zhang Zhou was not an ordinary civil servant, so he could not use the official rules of ordinary civil servants. It seems that no civil servant has ever been able to "know astronomy from above and geography from below", and can directly predict the good or bad luck of the country so accurately.
Li Guang is good at martial arts, and gods cannot stop him.
Whether he knows martial arts, he is actually the number one scholar, and his relationship with the emperor and the prince is so close
"Since none of you have objections, without further ado, I will be here these two days. , let Bingkuan set off for Xuanfu. In addition to the three thousand troops from the Beijing camp, the artillery castings and craftsmen were also moved to the Xuanfu area. The mining matters were also coordinated by the Ministry of Industry."
The emperor just barely said it.
The imperial court used manpower and material resources to help Bingkuan mine. After the mine was opened, 80% of the output would belong to Zhang Zhou himself.
Only 20% is left to pay our wages.
Xu Guandao, Minister of Industry, "Your Majesty, if the imperial court mobilizes manpower and cooperates in mining, should the mines and kilns be taken back to the imperial court?"
Zhu Youtang became angry when he heard this, and asked sternly, "Do you want me to break my words? Or do you think that it is natural for Bingkuan to serve the court?"
Xu Guan was choked and speechless, and could only retreat to the East Banner in despair.
Zhu Youtang said, "In addition to Duke Baoguo, there are also Shouning Marquis and others who will accompany Zhang Zhou to the Xuan Mansion. As for what soldiers and generals will be dispatched by the Dudu Mansion, I will make a decree at my discretion, and all honorable ministers will be included." Return home and wait for dispatch. Don't delay when you start, so as not to miss important things."
"Zhunzhi"
Wu Xun's side became restless.
Although in name only, it still relies on Previously, the first batch of students from the Yanwu Hall followed Zhang Zhou, but they would also dispatch other honorable ministers.
It seems that the emperor has high hopes for this expedition. Whoever goes with Zhang Zhou is likely to do so. It has left a mark in the history of the Ming Dynasty’s military. Who doesn’t want to follow along and make contributions?
The martial arts of the Ming Dynasty seem to have never worked together like today. When there is a war, they rush to take up posts in the Governor’s Mansion. The same goes for all the honorable ministers who are waiting to die.
The civil servant is thinking in his heart.
This world is really magical.
The court meeting ended and the order was issued. The news also spread outside the palace.
Both the government and the public were in an uproar.
There were also many discussions in the streets and alleys of the capital. After learning that the imperial court was going to send Zhang Zhou with ten thousand people. The soldiers and horses went to Xuanfu to prepare for the war against the Tatars, especially they had to go out to the fortress with great fanfare to practice artillery, and complete activities such as offering sacrifices to heaven. All they thought about was that the Ming Dynasty was finally going to be awesome
Everyone seemed to be a subject of the Ming Dynasty And proud.
However, the edict did not say that Zhang Zhou went to the northwest to mine. The emperor was mainly concerned about Zhang Zhou's reputation.
In case the people felt that Zhang Zhou was going to go to the northwest. It would not be good if Zhou was going to "compete with the people for profit", as long as the minister knew it well.
Zhang Zhou received the imperial edict from Dai Yi personally at his residence.
He has also transformed into the Ming Dynasty's general secretary, and he is now the right minister of the Ministry of War.
"Congratulations, Mr. Zhang. "Xiao Jing smiled and handed over his hands, just to give Zhang Zhou some gifts and to curry favor with Zhang Zhou.
Zhang Zhou sighed, "The greater the official position, the greater the responsibilities. I am not going to the northwest for a joke. For those who play, if someone has no fault, it is merit, but if I have no merit, it is fault. "
"It's not that exaggerated. "Xiao Jing smiled bitterly.
He wanted to say, if you go to the northwest, even if you walk around, your majesty will not be able to find credit for you.
Go with peace of mind, regardless of merit or demerit, When you come back, you will definitely be promoted to a higher official. Please remember to bookmark it. The latest and fastest website can be read for free without anti-theft
