Verse 54 Rising

The Ministry of War.

The counterinsurgency team was quickly assembled, and it was to be set out within five days.

The military situation is like a fire, but you have to arrange many things first, otherwise you will only bring worse results in the end.

"Xiuling, sit down." Chai Ke didn't sleep well all night, and his eyes were sunken, but his mental state should be kept at his best.

Yang He's face was also full of bitterness and nodded.

Suddenly promoted to the position of the right Du Yushi, of course, there will be no easy and good things waiting for you, this is about to catch the duck on the shelf, as the deputy commander of the counterinsurgency, if this battle is fought, naturally the right Du Yushi will sit firmly, if it is not good, this may be a noose.

"Brother Zishu, I'm afraid this battle is not easy to fight." Yang He sat down and exhaled, "The imperial court has always valued Liaodong and Xuanda, but I never thought that something would happen on the three sides, even so, I think the cabinet and the household department are also weak, what is 500,000 taels of silver enough for?" ”

Now there are only two of them, so naturally many words can be said openly, and there are no scruples, and with more other people below, it is impossible to be so unscrupulous.

"Lord Zhang promised to find a way to get 200,000 taels from the inner treasury, but there is really no way for the household department." Chai Ke also smiled bitterly, "Zheng Jizhi has submitted his resignation, but the emperor has not approved it." ”

Yang He smiled contemptuously, "If you are picking on tricky things like this, what's the point of raising a soldier in the imperial court?" Who doesn't want to be a justice of the peace, you are a good traveler, and when you encounter a big disaster, you will be helpless, or you will pretend to be sick and resign, and the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate should take a good look at the atmosphere in the DPRK and China. ”

"Xiu Ling, let's not argue about this aftermath for the time being, at the moment the two of us have to face how to mobilize troops and raise money and food, and I'm afraid we also have to think about how to deal with it,......"

Chai Ke also knows that since he has full authority to hand over these things to himself, he can only carry it himself, fortunately, Yang He is a real person who can do things, and the cleanup of Zhejiang Yanzheng has made many people see his edge, so this time he can still control the scene when he goes out with himself.

Wei Zhen and Xingdu Division came by themselves, but local cooperation was essential, if anyone wanted to play with him, then he could only let Yang He deal with it.

"Brother Zishu, the junior brother will also obey your arrangement, and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the Long Forbidden Lieutenant should also send someone to cooperate, right?" Yang He also had a straight face: "I'm afraid that this battle will be to destroy the northwest, and the younger brother is worried that after the mutiny is resolved, if there is not enough money and food to help and appease, there may be a civil rebellion." ”

It's also the most headache and the most troublesome

The three sides and four towns are all poor and remote areas, and the crossing of this army, whether it is a rebel army or an official army, can imagine what it will bring, after the war, leaving a ruin, the result of the people not being able to survive may be another rebellion.

This is also the biggest worry raised by Zhang Jingqiu and Chai Ke like Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe, the two elders.

In fact, Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe also thought of this, but now they can't take care of it so much, they can only talk about anything else if they put down the rebellion first, and now they are still stretched thin even for the cost of fighting, so they have to talk about relief and appeasement in the future, which is too far away.

"Xiuling, I won't tell you anything, this matter has already been told to the emperor and the two elders, but there is no follow-up." Chai Ke waved his hand a little dejectedly, "I don't have the energy to think about it so long-term now, let's settle this war first, I, the governor of the three sides, will drive the ducks to the shelves, and it is estimated that the imperial court also wants me not to think about coming back if I don't deal with it smoothly." ”

Chai Ke's words made Yang He sigh endlessly.

People arrived one after another.

When Feng Ziying and Zheng Chongjian arrived, they saw a few acquaintances at a glance, such as Zhang Jin, the deputy commander of the Long Ban Lieutenant, such as the director of the Ministry of War, no, now he is a layman Geng Ruqi, of course, and Yang Sichang's father, who is also Qiao Shi's right-hand man Yang He, he has seen two sides, but he is not too familiar.

Seeing Feng Ziying, Geng Ruqi, Zhang Jin and Yang He nodding their heads, Zheng Chongjian was also a little envious, this is the embodiment of connections, except for one Geng Ruqi, he doesn't know anyone, and Chai Ke is not qualified to be on the list.

Chai Ke was also observing Feng Ziying.

This was the first time he had seen this young man who was known as the legend of the Yonglong Five-Year Spring Competition, and even overwhelmed Yang Sichang, who was known as the three great talents of the Beijing Division and won the list in the Yonglong Five-Year Spring Competition, well, that is, Yang He's son.

Even Sanding Jia is far less famous than this guy who is only the ninth in the second grade, and the current reputation of Qingtan Academy is stronger than Chongzheng and Jiangnan's White Horse and Chongwen Academy, and to a large extent, it is also a round of turmoil set off by this guy.

Chai Ke believes in a truth, once or twice can be accidental, then three times or five times, that is inevitable, this guy can win in the Qingtan Academy and the Hall of Examination and even the Shujishi Pavilion three times and five times, although the two elders have different views on it, but they can't suppress each other, it is not any luck and accident, it can only be due to strength.

"Student Feng Keng (Zheng Chongjian) has seen Master Zhang, Lord Yang." Feng Ziying and Zheng Chongjian stepped forward to salute in a proper manner.

Yesterday I waited until it was dark and didn't wait for the news, and then I learned that the discussion in front of the palace lasted until the evening, and there was a fierce debate, the cabinet was short of people, and the two cabinet elders had different attitudes, which led to the delay in coming up with a strategy, so it was delayed until noon today.

Geng Ruqi also told the two of them in advance, Lord Chai and Lord Yang, as well as including Long Banwei and the Ministry of War, who may set up a team to quell the rebellion in the west, and listen to how they judged that there would be a rebellion in Ningxia Town two months ago, the prediction, basis and reason, and whether there are any better suggestions at the moment.

For Feng Ziying and Zheng Chongjian, this is a rare opportunity to show themselves in a formal setting, rather than a written article, which can show their talents more intuitively and make a deeper impression on the bigwigs.

"Hmm, you are Feng Keng and Feng Ziying?" Chai Ke actually knows a little about Feng Ziying, Guan Yingzhen specially recommended Feng Ziying to him, and in the letter, Feng Ziying's political acumen and observation and judgment ability are extremely respected, even to the point of exaggeration, which makes Chai Ke a little tired of this.

But he also knows that his fellow is not such a person who talks nonsense, but besides, if you are a proud protΓ©gΓ©, it will not be so excessive, of course, he also admits that this guy should have some ability, just by being able to toss such a "internal reference", it is not something ordinary people can do.

But whether it is writing articles or new ideas, Chai Ke attaches more importance to the ability to judge, analyze and solve practical affairs, which is the most important thing for him, who is accustomed to dealing with current political affairs.

"The student is exactly." Feng Ziying replied in a proper manner.

Chai Ke asked Zheng Chongjian again.

"I read this article at the beginning, and I was a little touched at the time, but I didn't expect the situation to evolve according to the speculation in this article, although the reasons are not consistent, but many of the root causes are accurate,......"

Chai Ke's eyes were as deep as the shadows in the autumn woods, "The lack of food and salary, this must be the main reason, but the three sides and the four towns are all in shortage, why haven't the other three towns come out, or the situation is not so bad?"

"The two of you, one has been watching politics in the military department for half a year, and the other is the founder of the "Internal Reference" in the Hanlin Academy, this article is also your cooperation, there must be some unique insights, I hope you two don't stick to the inherent ruts, talk about it more bluntly and sharply, the situation is already so bad that it can't be worse anymore, and there are also people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Dragon Forbidden Lieutenant, so there is no need to hide and cover up, and they all shake it out, Perhaps your suggestion that you don't have so many constraints is more valuable and meaningful than the old routine made up by the Ministry of War? ”

Only this right attendant can unceremoniously ridicule the performance of the Ministry of War, which made Geng Ruqi also blush a little angry, although he was only a layman when he was promoted, and it was not his responsibility, but he still felt uncomfortable.

"Who's coming first?"

"Let's go first, students." Zheng Chongjian said calmly: "The article "Internal Reference" was written by me and Ziying, but it is more of Ziying's judgment, and I also have some analysis, which is all carried out on the basis of the relevant Tang newspaper of the Ministry of Staff, and Lord Geng also gave us a lot of guidance, in fact, the situation in Ningxia Town We think that there are still some special aspects compared with Gansu Town and Yulin Town, which is likely to be the main reason why this rebellion occurred in Ningxia Town instead of other towns,......"

Chai Ke and Yang He both listened very carefully.

Zheng Chongjian's introduction is concise and concise, and it can be explained clearly in a cup of tea, but almost every point is very meaningful.

For example, Shi Guangjue, the then chief soldier of Ningxia Town, behaved poorly and stupidly, for example, the proportion of Mongolian soldiers in Ningxia Town was too large, and the relationship with the Hetao Tatars was ambiguous, such as Liu Dongyang, the commander of the Ningxia Central Guard, that is, the leader of the rebellion, who had not adjusted the change of guard for ten years.

Zheng Chongjian specifically mentioned that the geographical location of the small Songshan area, which is at the junction of Ningxia Town, Gansu Town, and Guyuan Town, is particularly important, although it is under the control of Guyuan Town and Gansu Town, but Liu Dongyang's Ningxia Central Guard often goes in and out of the Big and Small Songshan area, and is indeed very familiar with the Big and Small Songshan Mountains, and has also made some targeted military preparations, which should have been prevented a long time ago, but neither Gansu Town nor Guyuan Town was aware of the abnormality.

"......, it can be said that Ningxia Town actually had many suspicious signs half a year ago, if it weren't for the chaos caused by the sudden death of Talik, I am afraid that this rebellion would come earlier, the third lady is bedridden due to illness, and the power and strength in his hands have actually been controlled by his grandson Su Nang Taiji, and Su Nang Taiji has been trying to replace Bu Shitu who has been wandering in the West Sea,......

Zheng Chongjian's words made Chai Ke and Yang He both interested, this Zheng Chongjian can perform so prominently, it is refreshing, what about Feng Ziying?
