In the third year of Jiajing, the old faction represented by Yang Tinghe, Mao Cheng, and Shi Xuan tried their best to prevent the opening of the sea ban, and threatened them with resignation. It is now the sixth year of Jiajing, and now Jiajing is more full-fledged, and he is ambitiously preparing to soar, Jin Xianmin actually tried to stop him, which is simply beyond his strength, but now Jiajing is obviously more mature and confident, but he did not directly let Jin Shoufu roll cover and leave, which can be regarded as saving him some face.

Jin Xianmin, as the first assistant, was originally not appealing, and after being invited out of the Wenhua Hall by Jiajing under the pretext of an excuse, the resolution to send troops to the Northern Expedition was quickly passed, and even the officials who knelt down to "support the field" for Jin Xianmin just now had more than half of them vote to agree.

After the resolution to send troops to the Northern Expedition to Tatar was passed, it was immediately followed by the selection of the commander of Tingtui, and there was no doubt that it was Xu Jin, the Duke of Yasukuni, who was in charge. There is no way, Xu Changsheng's reputation is too loud, with him on the horse, not only the soldiers are full of confidence, but even the civil officials are much calmer.

I have to say that since the upstart faction led by Zhang Xuan Guicao was swept out of the court, most of the officials in power in the DPRK and China are relatively upright, including the first assistant Jin Xianmin, although there are selfish motives in opposing the Northern Expedition, but in general, the starting point is still good. Now that it is inevitable to send troops to the Northern Expedition, even officials who have scruples and prejudices against Xu Jin did not hesitate to choose Xu Jin, who is the most capable of fighting, as the commander of the army.

Originally, according to the unspoken rules gradually formed after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Guogong was not allowed to hold the military power anymore, and the old Wuxun group could use this to prevent Xu Jin from taking command, but after stopping Xu Jin, the old Wuxun group could not find a person who could pick the beam, even if it could be obtained, I am afraid that I would not dare to take this errand.

Therefore, although the old Wuxun group was unwilling, they finally chose Xu Jin as the coach, but they strongly promoted Xianning Hou Qiuluan as the deputy general.

Next, Jiajing ordered the cabinet to officially announce the Northern Expedition, appointing Xu Jin as the general of the Fengtian Expedition Governor's Military Affairs, adding the rank of secretary of the military department, appointing the Marquis of Xianning Qiuluan, the commander of the Shenji Battalion Wang Lin'er as the deputy general, and the imperial eunuch Huang Jin as the supervising army, and sending troops to the north on a certain day.

When the court meeting ended at about five o'clock in the afternoon, the twilight gradually rose, Xu Jin calmly stepped out of the gate of the Wenhua Palace, took a deep breath of the cold air outside the hall, and was about to walk, but saw Shoufu Jin Xianmin walking out of the side hall with a gloomy face, the two of them looked at each other, and their brows wrinkled in unison

"I've seen the Golden Pavilion Old!" Xu Jin calmly arched his hand.

Jin Xianmin snorted coldly, and shouted angrily: "Xu Ziqian, you tried your best to encourage the emperor to send troops to the Northern Expedition for your own selfishness, ignoring the life and death of my Ming soldiers and the well-being of the people. ”

At this time, the ministers who walked out of the Wenhua Hall all stopped to watch, with different expressions, sympathy, indignation, contempt, and so on!

Xu Jin looked at Jin Xianmin calmly, and said lightly: "Thank you Jin Ge Elder for reminding me, but Xu Mou's heart is frank and can show the sun and the moon, and the merits and demerits will be left for future generations to comment." I remember that three years ago, Mao Chengmao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said something similar to Xu before leaving. Now Xu will give back to the old Jin Pavilion with the same words: complaining too much to prevent broken intestines, the scenery should be long-sighted, if the old Jin Pavilion lives a long time, he will definitely see the prosperous world of my Ming Dynasty, whether it is as you wish! ”

Jin Xianmin was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Okay, then the old man will wait and see!" After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked away.

A group of officials looked at Jin Xianmin's stiff and slightly ended back, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, Kim Shoufu's era ended before it began, and the cabinet chief assistant had only been in office for a few months.

Xu Jin arched his hand towards his colleagues, and then turned around and sprinkled away, at this moment, the mood of the ministers was undoubtedly complicated, and then everyone suddenly realized that although Xu Jin, a rich idler, took a back seat, he still had an unparalleled influence on the court, and even the first assistant of the cabinet was folded in front of him, and sure enough, the official positions were secondary, and the emperor's favor was the greatest power!

Of course, everyone has to admit that Xu Jin is indeed a civil and military all-rounder, not only leading troops to fight in battle, but also very good in terms of cultural governance, he promoted the planting of high-yield crops to solve the problem of insufficient food; He proposed to re-clear the country's land, increase taxes, and reverse the financial crisis; He implemented a system of demotion of titles, which greatly saved the treasury expenses; He also proposed a ban on opening the sea and opening a silver number......

This son is like a very clever miracle doctor, accurately grasping the "disease" accumulated more than 150 years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and prescribing the right medicine, and rejuvenating the huge empire that is accelerating towards a downhill decline. According to today's momentum, it is not impossible for Daming to reproduce the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

Fang Xianfu, the secretary of the ministry, looked at Xu Jin's tall back, his eyes showed a trace of jealousy and jealousy, this son now has such a terrible influence, if this Northern Expedition is successful, I am afraid it will be even more unbelievable!

…………

On the tenth day of the first month of the sixth year of Jiajing, in the tent of the court of the Tatar Chahar Khan, I answered that I received a letter from the Ming Emperor Jiajing, although this is not a letter to ask for a letter, but it is more excessive than a letter to ask for a letter, so angry that I replied and scolded: "Jiajing child dares to deceive me!" ”

It turned out that Jiajing stated in the letter that it was not impossible for me to answer that I wanted to return to the Mentu sister and brother, but I must meet the five requirements of Daming.

First, pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty; secondly, the Tatars withdrew from the Hetao area and returned the Hetao Plain to the Ming Dynasty; the third is to compensate for the losses caused by the siege of the Ming capital by the soldiers the year before last, totaling three million taels of silver; fourth, to free all the Han slaves in Tatar; Fifth, he tied up the White Lotus thief Li Fuda and sent him to Daming Faluo.

I am not stupid, Jiajing's letter has no sincerity in negotiation at all, it is clearly disgusting to himself, and it is also very damaging to provoke the relationship between himself and Li Fuda, the people of the Ming Kingdom are really despicable!

I replied with a roll of his eyes, and immediately ordered: "Come, go and invite King Fu to the sweat tent." ”

Soon, Li Fuda was brought into the sweat tent, he bowed to me, and asked quietly: "Dare to ask the Great Khan what he sent to summon his subordinates?" ”

Li Fuda was worried that I would send him to attack Gubeikou Guancheng, but the siege battle would have to be filled with human lives, so he naturally didn't want to take this hot potato.

I replied generously handed Jiajing's letter to Li Fuda, who took it, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he suddenly looked up at me answer, his knees were slightly bent secretly, and he could break out at any time and control me answer.

I replied and smiled calmly: "King Fu, don't panic, how could Ben Khan fall for Jiajing Xiao'er's such a clumsy plan to divide the world, he underestimated Ben Khan too much." ”

Li Fuda secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but obviously did not relax his vigilance, and pretended to be grateful: "The Great Khan is wise, and the Jiajing little lion has opened his mouth, and there is clearly no sincerity in negotiations. ”

I nodded and said, "That's true!" ”

Li Fuda's eyes rolled and said: "In this way, it seems that Jiajing is planning to send troops to fight against the Great Khan in the name of Mentu." ”

I replied proudly: "So what, if the Ming army dares to come out of the fortress to attack, Ben Khan will teach them to come and go." ”

Li Fuda reminded him: "When it comes to cavalry field battles, the Ming army is naturally not the opponent of the Tatar warriors, but they have sharp firearms, and the Great Khan must not take it lightly!" ”

I replied and nodded: "Ben Khan knows in his heart, if the Ming army really comes to attack at that time, I hope that King Fu will help him." ”

Li Fuda said righteously: "The subordinates are not allowed to be in the Ming Dynasty, fortunately the Great Khan can survive, if the Ming Army dares to attack, the subordinates will definitely swear to defend the Great Khan, although they will die without giving up!" ”

I replied happily: "With the words of the blessed king, Ben Khan is relieved." ”

Li Fuda said in a deep voice: "Great Khan, as the so-called outside must first be inside, the three ladies Xue Bingxin is entrenched near Lingshui, suspected of colluding with the elite of the Ming army's Shenji battalion that attacked Bansheng City, posing a great threat to Fengzhou Chuan, and his subordinates are willing to lead troops to exterminate it, so as not to create chaos in the rear of our army when the Ming army comes to attack in a big way." ”

I replied through gritted teeth and said: "The Ming army did not die in Daqing Zhongshan, but it was beyond Ben Khan's expectations, or so, King Fu will exterminate them for Ben Khan, but the three ladies had better be captured alive, Ben Khan will live." ”

Li Fuda smiled knowingly and said: "The subordinates obey the order, and they will send this woman to the Great Khan's tent intact, without further ado, the subordinates will go back and lead the troops to set off!" ”

I replied with a smile and waved my hand: "Go, bless Wang Ma to success!" ”

"Inherit the good words of the Great Khan!" Li Fuda clenched his fists, turned around and walked away from the sweat tent quickly.

My answer's eyes gradually turned cold, and he scolded a little annoyed: "Never give up? Phew, an old fox! ”

Originally, I replied that I pretended to be generous and showed Jiajing's reply to Li Fuda, originally to eliminate Li Fuda's suspicions, but unfortunately Li Fuda has always been suspicious, and he is cautious, how can he fully trust me Answer, no, just now he swore to be loyal, but the next second he found an excuse to leave first, and I replied that in order not to deepen Li Fuda's suspicions, he had to generously agree to his request.
