Yang Reform and the ministers hid needles in their words, and they fought back and forth for a while, and they all made a few moves in the open and in secret, this Qin Liangyu brought 6,000 soldiers and horses into Beijing and guarded the Beijing Division, which was considered to be an agreement, as for the emperor to pay for the soldiers himself, this can only be with the emperor, who told the emperor to take the internal money? This silver does not go through the household department, nor does it go through the military department, no one can do anything, who calls the emperor to be good?

This Qin Liangyu led the troops into Beijing, which can be regarded as a foregone conclusion.

But then, it's hard to get a candidate. Yang reformed Baidu, such as Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, and Lu Xiangsheng, all of which were generals who gradually rose after the outbreak of the "peasant uprising", and they were all born as Jinshi, and now, they are all still officials step by step, and none of them have the prestige and qualifications of Qin Liangyu. [The book friend "Pretty Dad" is right, this emperor should call the peasant uprising a rebellion. 】

Moreover, let them transfer to the military position, as generals, I'm afraid it won't work, now the status of the martial arts is too low, for no reason to let a jinshi transfer to the martial arts, there is no reasonable reason, it is impossible, as for how to lead the troops in the future? That's because the peasants rebelled, they went to suppress it, and they took advantage of the situation to become the generals who led the troops. Otherwise, it is impossible to lead the troops. Yang Reform is also entangled, these candidates who come back from Baidu can't be thrown out at all!

Thinking about it, the real martial artists are only Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao, and their combat achievements and qualifications are quite reliable. The three brothers of Zu Dashou are now a little smaller, and if they want to defend the Jingshi, I am afraid it will not be their turn. If you want to defend the Beijing Division, you must at least have the name of a general soldier, otherwise, the unit is too small, and the imperial court will not look down on you. Zu Dashou is now only a vice president at best, and his two brothers have lower positions and are even more unreliable.

Yang Reform has a headache, and his own information cannot be made public, so he has to look at the ministers to see if there are any high-ranking people to recommend. But this is also the fate of the wood to ask for fish, I know this history, that is okay, that is not good, I know it clearly, let these courtiers recommend the candidates of Gongwei Jingshi, I'm afraid it will be thankless! Yang Reform has the attitude of giving it a try.

"Do you have a candidate for Gongwei Jingshi? Let's talk about it. "Emperor Chongzhen Yang had no choice but to let the ministers talk about it, and give himself some time to think about how to let these people appear.

The ministers below saw that the emperor asked everyone to recommend the candidate for Gongwei Jingshi, and saw that the emperor personally sent 100,000 taels to Qin Liangyu, they all knew that this time Gongwei Jingshi was a fat poor, and the emperor was also quite generous, and they were all excited. Prepare to push out people who are related to you.

"Your Majesty, the minister recommends the XX General Soldier XXX, the XX General Soldier is brave and loyal to the imperial court, and he is a rare general of our dynasty, Your Majesty can summon him to Beijing and defend the Beijing Division." An old minister recommended it first. Such a great opportunity, there will be missed.

Yang Reform supports his chin with his hand? xx chief soldier xxx, I haven't heard of it at all! A nobody, so I am not interested, but this is the first recommendation of the ministers, and it is not good to say no directly, think about it, and say: "What is the record of this person worth talking about?" ”

"Ugh!" The minister who recommended it just now was stupid, he didn't expect the emperor to ask like this. It wasn't like that before! The old man came forward, and Huang Yanjing didn't give a few thin noodles? Where is this face going? You can't get off the stage, you can't get off the stage.

"If you can't get any achievements worth talking about, don't recommend it to me, lest you turn into the wind when you get it, abandon your father and make everyone's faces look bad." Yang Reform doesn't have a good face for this kind of irresponsible recommendation, MD, this is related to my future survival, you dare to fight with me, Yang Reform is not angry. I really want to flatten this guy, and look at other people's seventies and eighties, alas, forget it.

The minister recommended just now was so ridiculed by the emperor that his face couldn't hold it, his face was red and extremely embarrassed, he covered his face with his sleeve and retreated.

Yang Gai found that he didn't need to ask them at all, why did he ask them? Isn't that self-conscious? Are the people they recommend useful, and are they accurate to history? I even know the history of this later, and I ask them what they are doing? Edgewood seeks fish.

After thinking about it, he asked: "I checked the roster of the generals who led the troops in my court, and found some ones with outstanding combat records, and you will discuss them." ”

The ministers were eager to recommend some candidates, and when they saw that the emperor was going to nominate candidates again, they had to see who the emperor was going to mention, and secretly scolded the old guy he recommended just now, what do you recommend is not good, but you recommend an incompetent one, and even our recommendation opportunity is gone.

"Man Gui." Yang was the first to reform and put forward Mangui. This person, later in the defense of Yanjing, made great efforts, not to mention loyalty, combat power is also okay, and the person who fights against the wild boar skin is also one top one. Yang Reform was naturally the first to mention him, and this is full of Gui, Yang Reform was ready to be transferred back, and he still had an important task for him. Moreover, he and Yuan Chonghuan were at odds, and Yuan Chonghuan had already applied to transfer Man Gui away, but he was scolded by the emperor that time, and he was "abused" by the emperor and Sun Chengzong every time, Yuan Chonghuan never mentioned this matter again, so he squatted at home every day to practice "interstellar".

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty said that the prince and the prince, the governor of the affairs, the Jinyi Guard, and the chief military officer Mangui?" This man has reported a series of titles, long enough.

Scare! Yang Reform didn't expect that this Mangui had quite a lot of titles, but he didn't think it at first, he felt that he was a general, not just a certain general soldier, but he didn't expect that there would be such a long list of titles.

"Well, exactly, I am talking about him, everyone must know about Man Gui's record, I won't say much, what do you think Aiqing?"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that His Majesty is ready to let Yuan Ziru patrol Liaodong, this Man Gui and Yuan Ziru are said to be at odds, just enough to transfer Man Gui back to avoid discord, it is the best of both worlds." A minister immediately came out and said that this gossip between Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui was a good thing, saying that it was a good thing to transfer Man Gui back.

"I also know about this matter, so I specially took advantage of this time to transfer the world's elites to the Gongwei Beijing Division, and transferred Gui back to Beijing, which not only avoided the discord between him and Yuan Chonghuan, but also Gongwei Jingshi, the best of both worlds."

"No objection!"

"There is no objection to the minister!"

…… A group of ministers had no opinion, and they all felt that it was the best of both worlds to transfer Gui into the court and avoid discord with Yuan Chonghuan.

"How many soldiers should I have?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Your Majesty, Man Gui is the prince and the prince, and he is the governor of affairs, and his position is similar to that of the old lady of Qin, and the minister thinks that it is appropriate to bring six thousand elite soldiers into the court." A minister quickly calculated how many soldiers Man Gui should bring. However, it is not calculated according to combat power, not according to actual needs, but according to status, grade.

Although Yang Gengai was very helpless about this calculation method of determining how many soldiers to bring based on status and grade, the number of 6,000 was just about the same as the number in his mind, so he couldn't help but not come out.

"Well, that's very good, then it's also six thousand, and it's also a hundred thousand taels of silver, and I will send someone to send it." Yang Reform quickly finalized the cost of sending troops, although he made a lot of money and blood, but this value, in history, when King Qin, because the local logistics were not done well, there were not a few soldiers and horses who came to King Qin, and there were not a few people who broke down halfway.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Manguiman is close to the Beijing Division, and there is a horse to travel, and he will be able to reach the Beijing Division soon, and it will not cost 100,000 taels at all." The secretary of the military department, seeing that the money had not been passed from his hand this time when he transferred troops, came out again and told the emperor that it would not be more than 100,000 taels.

"Well, that's right! Aiqing is right. Yang Gai found that this person looked a little annoying, but sometimes he was reliable when he spoke! Indeed, I am afraid that it will not take a month for soldiers and horses to enter Beijing, and if the matter is urgent, I am afraid that it is possible to enter Beijing in a week or two.

Yang Gai felt that this person was a little pleasing to the eye, and was just about to praise a few words, ready to reduce the opening fee, and someone on the side came out to "mischief".

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord XX is so calculated, there is a mistake, I think that Mrs. Qin's is a foot soldier, and it takes four or five months to travel a long distance to enter Beijing, it is indeed difficult, and 100,000 taels is indeed not much, this prince and princess, Lord Manguiman, is close to the Beijing Division, and there are horses to walk, the speed is extremely fast, and it should not need 100,000 taels, but because there are horses, it is a cavalry, and the cost of this cavalry is several times that of a foot soldier, which is common sense, so, although the road is closer, but the cost of pulling out is indeed much more expensive, 100,000 taels, not much." This person doesn't seem to be interested in the secretary of the military department, and he slapped the secretary of the military department twice when he came up, and he didn't know that he was still the secretary of the military department even if he didn't know the basic military knowledge.

Yang Reform listened, I don't know whether it makes sense or doesn't make sense, the cost of this cavalry is indeed much more expensive than the infantry, although there are only 6,000 people, but considering that a person has at least one horse, this horse can chew and use, it can top a few people, the horse does not eat well, it also strikes, diarrhea, and it has to be served well, so the cost is even more powerful, so it is calculated, 100,000 taels, 6,000 people, not much!

Yang Reform was confused, so he asked Sun Chengzong again: "Master Sun, in your opinion, how much?" ”

The military indecision asked Sun Chengzong, this consciousness, Yang Reform became more and more intense.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that giving 80,000 taels is enough." Sun Chengzong gave a compromise.

"Well, then 80,000 taels, I'll send someone to send it." Yang Gai immediately decided.

The military department Shangshu pouted, okay, these 80,000 taels have nothing to do with him, and he glanced at the person who slapped him in the face just now, and he hated it in his heart.

"Next, I am going to transfer Zhao to Beijing and defend the Beijing Division." Yang Gai directly said his third candidate.

"Your Majesty can be said to be the crown prince and young master, the governor of Zuodu, the hereditary brocade guard, and the chief military officer Zhao Shujiao?" Anyway, a long list of titles came up.

Yang Gai found that the titles of many generals in the late Ming Dynasty were quite high. At every turn, it is the prince xx, then the governor xx, then the Jinyi guard xx, and finally the actual position is the chief military officer. Although the title is high, it is not very powerful. Not to mention the command of low-level literati, but also to kill the literati indiscriminately.

"Exactly, I am going to summon Zhao Shujiao into Beijing and defend the Beijing Division, everyone must know the achievements of Zhao Shujiao."

The ministers felt that what the emperor said was all nonsense, and this martial artist did not have any good combat records, so he could rise to such a high position? The imperial court is not a place to open a wholesale department and sell officials, and they all despise the emperor in their hearts.

"Dare to ask how many soldiers and horses Your Majesty will bring into Beijing?" This time, there was no objection, and I directly asked how many people I brought.

"Four thousand." Yang Reform said it in one bite, why? Because in history, when Zhao Shujiao led the troops into the customs to rescue, he brought 4,000 people and horses, presumably, Zhao Shujiao was more confident, valued, and confident in this number of people and horses. Therefore, Yang Reform also recognized the four thousand.

"Your Majesty, why not six thousand? The first two are both 6,000? Your Majesty is so favoritism, I'm afraid ......" A minister advised the emperor that since everyone has similar ranks, there should be no difference.

Yang Gai listened to the annoyance, and he didn't like this kind of talking about grades very much, and there was no technical content at all.

"Master Sun, what do you think?"

"Four thousand fine riders, acceptable." Sun Chengzong was also very serious, and deliberately added a few words of 4,000 cavalry, fighting against wild boar skins outside this pass, and daring to call the elite soldiers no horses, it was really a joke, and it was also guarded against someone from making a ghost out of it.

"Well, that's four thousand fine riders. What about the cost? "Yang Reform directly set the people.

"Sixty thousand taels." Sun Chengzong was also very simple and gave three words.

"Well, then 60,000 taels, I will still send someone to send it."

The secretary of the military department stopped pouting, and put out his thoughts, this promotion fee will not pass from himself, and he can't help it.

...... "Next, I am going to summon the ancestor to Beijing, what do you think?" ”

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, but Ning Yuan's deputy chief soldier Zu Dashou?" This time, the title given by this person is very short, and there is a subword in front of it.

"Exactly! Do you know Zu Dashou's record? "Yang Reform talks about things with achievements, and the ministers are gradually getting used to it. This is still relatively fair, you can't get a good record, don't say anything, praise the emperor of heaven and don't bird you!

"Your Majesty, I think this person is inappropriate." Someone came out against it.

"What's wrong? Is it a record that doesn't work? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, no, Zu Dashou's record is still outstanding, and he has also fought with Dongyu Houjin Ye, he is indeed a fierce general, but he is a deputy general soldier, and this grade is too low, besides, I don't know how many ordinary soldiers in the general army, I want to find the elite to defend the Beijing Division, and I will not find it from the deputy general soldier, so, it is too embarrassing for my Heavenly Empire, and it seems that there is no one in my Heavenly Empire!"

Yang Reform has nothing to say about the reason for this opposition, the key is the battle record, and it has something to do with face? This is outrageous, could it be that someone was transferred to Beijing to defend the Beijing Division, and he still had to report to the neighbors who were clothed in water? And see how they react? If they don't think it works, it doesn't count?

However, there are also people who give Zu Dashou a stand. "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord XX is wrong, although Zu Dashou is only the deputy chief soldier now, but he was the deputy chief soldier before the Jinning victory, and after the Jinning victory, if this credit is counted,...... Please also ask Your Majesty to act on merit. ”

Yang Reform is already a little dizzy today, this Zu Dashou, Yang Reform has been hesitant to transfer him to Beijing, thinking that in this history, Zu Dashou is also a key surname who can influence the turning point of history, if he saw Yuan Chonghuan's handwriting at that time, met Sun Chengzong's messenger, did not look back, but stayed outside the gate and did not come back and wild boar skin fight, the history of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid it will really be rewritten,...... Yang Reform was dizzy, and he didn't plan to bother with this, so he asked Sun Chengzong directly: "Master Sun, do you think?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the elite soldiers of Liaodong outside the pass have been excessively extracted, and the elite soldiers outside the pass can no longer be drawn into the court, Your Majesty forgot, now, the Eastern Captive Houjin is cleaning the road into the pass, and is fighting with the Mongols. Presumably, His Majesty let Yuan Ziru patrol Liaodong, and Yuan Ziru is bound to clean Mongolia again. Sun Chengzong is a clear-eyed person, and he saw the key at once.

Yang Gengai found out that he had already extracted 10,000 elites outside the pass, and he really couldn't extract them anymore, but fortunately, Sun Chengzong reminded him, otherwise, he would get this ancestor Dashou and their brothers to come to the pass. At that time, Yuan Chonghuan was afraid that he would cry at the remaining "Liaodong elite".

"Master Sun is right. I forgot. It almost broke a big thing, so I stopped transferring troops from outside the customs. "Yang Reform secretly blamed himself, doing things by himself, still headless and brainless! Think of where you can do it. Thanks to Sun Chengzong, otherwise, if he wanted to save the Ming Dynasty, he would probably be hanging.

"Do you have anyone else to recommend?" Yang was a little tired and decided to ask the ministers if there were any others, and if there was no one he was familiar with, then he was ready to end the meeting.

A cadre of ministers also recommended some. When Yang Gai heard this, he was not impressed, and was immediately shot. This person who has never heard of it, why did he get it to Jingshi? Eat dry rice? Will it turn like the wind in the decisive battle?

"In this way, the matter of transferring the world's elite soldiers into the court and guarding the Beijing Division, for the time being, is here, if there is that Aiqing who can recommend a suitable candidate, it can also be transferred in again, anyway, there is still a period of time for this Dongyu to enter the customs, today, let's stop here for the time being."

…… The meeting was held for a while, and there was really no one worth excavating, so Yang Gai announced the end of the meeting, and then immediately used the holy decree to summon the soldiers and horses from these three places into Beijing.

At the end of the meeting, Yang Gengai rubbed his forehead, it was really a headache. There are too many things to consider when it comes to the strategic layout of the security of the entire country and the operation of the country. All aspects have to be taken into account, and it is really tiring.

Wait for everyone to leave. Yang Gengai took a sip of tea and asked, "Companion, remember the last time I summoned the leader of the Mongolian tribe who joined my dynasty, what was his name?" ”

When Yang Gengai transferred Mangui to Beijing, he remembered that he had laid out a move on the Mongolian side, because he was so busy recently that he almost forgot it. Now that I think about it, I hurriedly asked about the situation.

"Your Majesty, but ask the Mongolian leader who belongs to my dynasty, the one who can beg for rabbits and gold and green?" Wang Chengen reported the name of the Mongolian tribal leader in one mouth.

"Wait, Otomo, what's that called? What a bad thing. Yang Gengai pronounced this name very well.

"Back to the emperor, he can beg for a rabbit." Wang Chengen read it to the emperor word by word.

"Oh, I see, I can beg the rabbit and the gold. Well, good, has he arrived? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, I have arrived, and I have been waiting outside for a long time, waiting for His Majesty to summon me." Wang Chengen answered truthfully.

Arriving early? Well, okay, I'm ready for the next step. Yang Gai said: "It's here, okay, then summon me, I will rest in the warm pavilion for a while, and when that person comes, I will wake me up." "Yang Gengai decided to take advantage of this gap in summoning people to take a nap, he was too tired.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen instructed a little eunuch to pass the decree and call people, and served the emperor to sleep.
