Chapter 38: King Qin's Discussion

Lin Lian, Zhao Qinmin, Ma Weihan, Gao Zongting and others did not delay at the mouth of the river, and quickly rushed to Li Zhuo's Jiangning Garrison General's Mansion.

Li Zhuo was very restricted in Jiangning, and he couldn't even stretch his hands and feet out of Jiangning Mansion, but as the head of the southeast region, the national crisis was at hand, and everyone had to gather in his mansion for urgent consultations.

Lin Jian and them rushed over from outside the city, and the cars of Wang Tian, the envoy of Jiangdong Xuanfu, Yin Wang Xueshan of Jiangning Mansion, and the heads of the six departments of Jiangning and the temples of Zhuyuan had already stopped in front of the garrison general's mansion, and hurried to the courtyard of the meeting, and dozens of officials and generals gathered in the courtyard anxiously. They watched Lin Lian, Ma Weihan, Gao Zongting and others come in, and they all hugged over: "Mr. Gao, Mr. Ma are here...... "There are many people who greet Gao Zongting and Ma Weihan, and there are few people who greet Lin Lian and Zhao Qinmin."

"The Governor and you are discussing things in the middle?" Gao Zongting asked.

"There's a stick of incense in there," an old and qualified official stroked his long beard and asked Gao Zongting, "Mr. Gao, who do you say Jiangdong should lead the army to Yanjing Qinwang?" ”

Lin Jian stood aside, without saying a word, the situation in Jiangdong is critical, how can there be troops to draw out King Qin?

In addition to the 200,000 heavy troops in Datong, Xuanhua, and Jibei, there are nearly 100,000 forbidden troops in eight towns in Yanjing City, more than 40,000 town troops in Hebei towns, and nearly 80,000 troops in Shandong and Jinzhong.

I'm afraid that I'm afraid that I will panic and break the Dongyu who broke the border and attacked one by one.

But Yanjing issued the edict of King Qin, which should not and is not right here; No one can bear the consequences of settling accounts after the autumn.

Gao Zongting couldn't figure it out for a while, and he walked straight into the Ming Hall where the adults were discussing. After a while, a guard came out to summon Ma Weihan and Lin Jian to attend the discussion.

In this courtyard, the politicians, senators, servants, and the higher-grade waiters, waiters, temple supervisors, court secretaries, young eunuchs, and young secretaries in the Jiangning Ministry are not qualified to enter the Ming Hall to listen to the deliberations, Ma Weihan is the old man next to Wang Xueshan, and he has always been known for his resourcefulness and good judgment, and he was summoned in to observe the deliberations, and he also felt that there was something, but Lin Lian, a stunned young man who had risen in recent years, was also summoned in, everyone looked sideways, with various expressions on their faces, and most of them still had doubts and disdain: Is he qualified?

Zhao Qinmin knew in his heart that no matter what, at this stage, Lin Lian's position as the first person in the Gu family could not be shaken. Today, Gu Wuchen asked him to go into the Ming Hall to listen to the deliberations and leave Lin Jian in the courtyard, I am afraid that someone will come to recruit Lin Jian if he can't wait for tomorrow.

Lin Jian didn't care what others thought, and walked in with Ma Weihan. There are more than ten people sitting in the Ming Hall, except for Wang Tian, the envoy of Jiangdong Xuanfu, Gu Wuchen, the envoy of Jiangning, Wang Xueshan of Jiangning Mansion, and Li Zhuo, the garrison of Jiangning, others including Jiangning Liubu Shangshu and Jiangning Left and Right Imperial History, although the real power is limited, but in the question of whether the king is diligent or not, he has the right to speak that is not weaker than that of the government secretary. Admiral Zuo Shangrong supervised the war in Haozhou, and on behalf of Zuo Shangrong was an old senator of the Admiral's Office.

Lin Jian and Ma Weihan came in to salute the adults, and each stood behind Gu Wuchen and Wang Xueshan, it was already a great honor for them to come in and listen, so they didn't have to expect a chair to sit on, and it was even more taboo to interject casually.

On the issue of whether to be diligent or not, the county divisions, including the Admiral's Mansion, the Xuanfu Envoy Division, the Inspectorate Division, the Jiangning Mansion and the Garrison General's Mansion, are all pragmatic, they are all aware of the current situation in Jiangdong, and the deployment of troops will bring the situation in Jiangdong to the brink of collapse; However, the Jiangning Sixth Department and the Jiangning Metropolitan Procuratorate insisted on sending troops to Qin Wang, and the slogan was also shouted loudly: "The Son of Heaven is in danger, how can the subjects take care of themselves and not help him?" ”

Whether it is Li Zhuo, Wang Tian, Wang Xueshan or Gu Wuchen, even if they don't want to send troops to Qin Wang, they can't say it. Who would leave such a big handle to a political opponent?

The issue turned into how to dispatch the army of King Qin without affecting or worsening the situation in Jiangdong.

The Sixth Department of Jiangning and the Jiangning Metropolitan Procuratorate insisted on sending troops to Qin Wang, so they would draw up the Qin Wang's policy, and the county department would meet the conditions and refute them if they were unconditional. It's just that the Jiangning Sixth Department and the Jiangning Metropolitan Procuratorate usually don't have contact with the specific government affairs of Jiangdong County, and they are not clear about the most basic military deployment of Jiangdong County. put forward more than a dozen articles, all of which were refuted by Wang Tian, Wang Xueshan, Gu Wuchen and the representatives of the Admiral's Mansion.

"There are 30,000 garrisons in Jiangning, and the commander can lead an army of 20,000 to rescue the Beijing division on behalf of Jiangdong." There was a vacancy in the Jiangning Ministry of Officials, headed by Yu Xinyuan, Zuo Shilang, who saw the resistance of the county secretary to the matter of sending troops to the king, and directly threw the burden to Li Zhuo.

"No," Gu Wuchen objected directly, and said, "Li Shuai is the Dinghai Divine Needle in Jiangdong, with Li Shuai here, Liu Thief doesn't dare to go south." If Li Shuai leads 20,000 troops away, Jiangning's defense is empty, Dongyang Xiangyong is not enough to prepare Liu Thief, and Liu Thief invades the south on a large scale, what should he do? ”

Jiangning is a firm reserve for Dongyang, and with Li Zhuo in Jiangning, Dongyang has not suffered much pressure from Hong Zepu. Liu An'er has a rabble of 200,000 troops, and it should not be underestimated, once Jiangning's defense is empty, Dongyang will be on the verge of a catastrophe.

This involves Gu Wuchen's fundamental interests in Jiangdong, and there is no room for negotiation.

The foundation of the six departments of Jiangdong and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are also in Jiangning City, and they are quite dependent on Li Zhuo and the 30,000 Jiangning garrison, and they are also afraid that after Li Zhuo leads the troops away, Liu An'er will use troops in the direction of Jiangning.

Lin Jian saw that Ma Weihan handed Wang Xueshan a note, and knew that Ma Weihan had a suggestion, but he didn't know what good plan he had.

After Wang Xueshan read the note, he said: "There is no good way to dispute here for a long time, I see that each family's horses, money and grain are shared by each family, and there are enough 10,000 soldiers and horses, 200,000 silver salaries, and there are more people and more people, and those who have money are more money, and then select a veteran and serious official to lead the king of Yanjing Qin, what do you think?" ”

Lin Lian thought to himself that Ma Weihan was really old and spicy, and his move was to ask each family to send some inconsequential miscellaneous soldiers out to form the Qinwang army, which would not affect the deployment of Jiangdong or be politically disadvantaged.

In fact, the Qinwang troops in Jinzhong, Shandong, Hekou, and the Yanjing Banzhong and Yanshan defense lines were sufficient. Even if it is from Zhongzhou and Western Qin, it is more advantageous than Jiangdong; However, Jiangning, as the southern capital of the imperial court, is too much to say if it does not send Qin Wang Jun; Sending the Qin Wangjun is only a political statement.

Wang Xueshan mentioned this policy, and everyone nodded in agreement. This is the only way for now, otherwise the quarrel will drag on, and there will be no countermeasure.

Next, the first thing is the question of the choice of the leader, Wang Xueshan said directly: "There are few people in the world who know the army and can compare with Li Shuai, Li Shuai is the head of the Jiangdong ministers, and the person who leads the troops, I think it is none other than Li Shuai." ”

"It's that few people in the world know about military affairs can match Li Shuai, so Jiangdong needs to keep Li Shuai in charge," Gu Wuchen retorted-for-tat, not even giving others a chance to echo, "After Li Shuai leaves Jiangning, Liu Thief Nankou, who can lead Jiangning garrison to stop him?" ”

Li Zhuo's face sank like water, and there was no change, but a trace of anger flashed in the eyes of Gao Zongting who was standing behind him.

Lin Tie his hands fiddled with the placket of his clothes, he knew that Gu Wuchen would definitely refuse to let Li Zhuo lead the troops.

Li Zhuo is not only the head of the Jiangdong ministers, if Yanjing is besieged and killed by the Dongyu, Li Zhuo will be the highest-ranking and most prestigious official in the army of the king of Qin, outside the city.

Once he leads the army to successfully wipe out the Eastern Captives, his prestige will reach its peak, and it will be difficult for the Chu Party to suppress him from taking charge of the military department, and it is even possible for the current saint to directly use him as the deputy minister.

Although Chen Xinbo was vacant in the phase, after all, he still left the current saint in the center, and let Li Zhuo enter the center to become Chen Xinbo's biggest help, and the general trend of the DPRK and the Central Committee that the Chu Party had managed to grasp would suddenly lose nearly half.

"It's really not suitable for me to leave Jiangning," Li Zhuo said slowly, "You better choose someone else." ”

Wang Xueshan's mind is also obvious, wanting to provoke a fierce conflict between Gu Wuchen and Li Zhuo; Lin Jian heard that there was a trace of desolation in Li Zhuo's words, and he didn't want to destroy the overall situation of King Qin because of the party dispute.

Pai Qin Wang Jun mainly expressed his political stance, the candidates should be selected from the civil officials, and it is not good if the level is low, except for Li Zhuo, Lin Jian can't think of any suitable candidates.

Ma Weihan stood behind Wang Xueshan with his hands on his chest, his eyes glanced at Gu Wuchen, Wang Xueshan said knowingly: "In the first battle of Jiyang, the prestige of the envoy is famous in Jiangdong, and Li Shuai can't leave Jiangning, so the person who leads the troops must be the envoy of the inspector......"

"I don't know much about military affairs, and the first battle of Jiyang is the credit of Lin Lian, Yang Pu and all the generals under my command, and if I want to lead the troops, it will be like letting Lord Wang learn to farm work, and I can't convince everyone...... "Gu Wuchen said, "If you want to say that you are highly respected, it must be Lord Xuanfu Wang." ”

"I can't do it, Master Gu doesn't want to make fun of me......" Xuanfu made Wang Tian shake his head quickly.

This is a very dangerous and full of opportunities.

Tongqin Wang's army went north to aid the Beijing Division, and it was certain that he would be in the limelight politically, and if the danger of Yanjing was resolved, the ministers and generals of the army would naturally be rewarded. The danger is that if the eastern captives are not easy to provoke, and the Qinwang army is composed of miscellaneous soldiers, it is very likely to lose the battle, and it is a big defeat, and the leader of the troops is naturally ruined, and it is possible to die on the battlefield.

Wang Tiandu is so old, he can't get rid of it, he just wants to make more money in the position, and he has no pursuit in his career, where would he do such a dangerous thing?

Gu Wuchen came to lead the troops, and the Qin Wang Army must have Dongyang Xiangyong as the main force, how dare Gu Wuchen transfer Dongyang Xiangyong from Dongyang at this time?

In addition to Gu Wuchen's ability to gain a firm foothold in Jiangdong, in addition to the strength of the Chu party, it is inseparable from the support of the Dongyang forces. Lin Bin, Zhang Yubo, Chen/Yuanliang, and Lin Tingli are all representatives of the local forces in Dongyang, and the Lin clan withdrew to Jiangning, but Zhang Yubo, Chen/Yuanliang, and even Liu Xilin's hometown are all in Dongyang, and the foundation of Dongyang Xiangyong is also in Dongyang, how can Gu Wuchen ignore Dongyang?

Besides, Gu Wuchen's status has risen to the peak in a short period of time, and it is not worth taking such a big risk to rob this Qinwang for his credit.
