Chapter 84: Court Dispute

"Fallacy!" Chen Xiyan didn't expect Yu Xinyuan to move, Wang Xueshan jumped out to fight the front first, and he didn't care that the emperor was interested in listening to Wang Xueshan's eloquent talk, so he directly interrupted his words and reprimanded, "The major affairs of the family and the country will affect the whole body in one move, and after the military policy is agreed, how can it be changed in a hurry?" Moreover, the use of military strategy after the autumn is a military and political secret, and there is a discussion to hear about the saint, and An can openly discuss it? The trouble is known to the whole world, so that the rebels of Zhejiang and Fujian have been prepared? ”

"Your Highness, all the princes are important ministers of the court, who can't know the secrets?" Wang Xueshan did not show weakness and said a word to Chen Xiyan. There is no return arrow when the bow is opened, this face is torn apart, and if you don't fight to the death, you will never be good. Wang Xueshan has been in the officialdom for many years, and this truth is also clear in his heart.

"No one is perfect, no strategy is perfect, the ministers give words, I don't think there is anything bad to discuss......" Emperor Yongxing sat on the dragon chair and opened his mouth to defend Wang Xueshan. Even if it is not in accordance with the rules, since Wang Xueshan finally brought up this topic, he will not easily let Chen Xiyan dismiss Wang Xueshan.

"The war cannot be decided early, the marshal and the ministers support the troops outside, the power is getting heavier, and the court is getting lighter. According to the military strategy proposed by the political affairs hall after the autumn, it is not conducive to quickly solving the problems of Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi, and the minister thinks that it is not a complete strategy! Yu Xinyuan said threateningly.

"Governing the country is like cooking a small fresh, how can there be a strategy to achieve it overnight?" Zuo Chengmu said.

Zuo Chengmu was placed from Jingzhou to enter the political affairs hall as a minister, and he had nothing to do with other forces, so he could speak impartially. He has been serving in the local government for a long time, so he can understand all kinds of drawbacks, and he knows that letting Xie Chaozhong lead his troops to fight from southern Huinan to western Zhejiang will do more harm than good, so he is on the same front as Chen Xiyan in this matter.

Yu Xinyuan said that the vassal marshal supported the army and was self-respecting, and the implication was that Chen Xiyan helped Yue Lengqiu to raise his self-respect, and of course Zuo Chengmu had to refute such a heart-wrenching remark.

"On the matter, there are advantages and disadvantages of sending troops from southern Huinan to western Zhejiang, and they cannot be generalized, maybe they can be discussed, and they are all ......" Wang Tian said without being salty, but he was helping Wang Xueshan and Yu Xinyuan.

Wang Tian, as one of the ministers of the political affairs hall, said so, Chen Xiyan could not dismiss Wang Xueshan with "presumptuous discussion".

Lin Xuwen was also shocked and suspicious, on the matter of Xie Chaozhong's troops, Wang Xueshan and Wang Tian have always been silent, after all, they do not have deep entanglements of interests, and they should not be easily involved in right and wrong; And I really can't imagine what benefits Yu Xinyuan and Xie Chaozhong can promise, so that they finally bring Wang Xueshan and Wang Tian over!

"The joint force is strong, and the strength is weak," Lin Xuwen said, "Jiangning fully supports Jiangzhou to prepare for war, but there are still shortcomings, how can we support Huinan to use troops?" ”

"In terms of soldiers and horses, Yue Xiang once said that it is enough for the Luzhou soldiers to be controlled; Huinan uses troops, and transfers troops and horses from the imperial camp army to make up for it, regardless of the power of Jiangzhou," as the main master, Xie Chaozhong stood up at this time and said, "When it comes to war, like an eagle fighting a cunning rabbit, even if you can use three points of strength to defeat the enemy, you also need to use ten points to ensure that nothing goes wrong!" Without Huinan sending troops, is Huaidong fully sure that it will be able to capture Mindong after the autumn? ”

Fundamentally, Huaidong wants to drive the luxury family to Jiangxi, but this layer of intentions cannot be put on the table. Lin Xuwen also knew that Huaidong was strong, so that everyone would not directly target Huaidong, but the more Huaidong insisted on something, many people would subconsciously oppose it.

Lin Xuwen knew that it would be unfavorable for him to say too much, he only needed to show his attitude, whether he could stop Xie Chaozhong from leading the troops depended on Chen Xiyan, Zuo Chengmu and others. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Xie Chaozhong leads the troops to make a trip and let Xie Chaozhong divide Yue Lengqiu's momentum, as long as Xie Chaozhong is not defeated in southern Huinan, it will ultimately help reduce the pressure faced by the luxury family in Jiangxi - this situation cannot be regarded as the worst for Huaidong.

"Although there are enough soldiers and horses, how can we raise money and food?" Chen Xiyan asked.

"When the imperial battalion army goes out, the money and food consumed by Jiangning's military equipment can be reduced, and there is still a shortage, it should be Chen Xiang's concern, how can he question Feng Anbo with this matter?" Yu Xinyuan helped.

Wang Xueshan said: "If there is a shortage of money and food, the household department can squeeze out a part of it......"

Wang Xueshan's sentence has the most weight, originally the political affairs hall was stuck with money and food, even if Emperor Yongxing decided to send troops, the matter could be dragged down. As soon as Wang Xueshan said this, Emperor Yongxing could bypass the political hall and the military consular department, and directly ask the household department to raise money and food for the army to go out.

Chen Xiyan was so angry that he vomited blood, he wanted to strengthen Jiangzhou before, Wang Xueshan pushed left and right, and the household department was unwilling to pull out one more hair, so he tore his face at this time, and he was willing to squeeze out the silver for Xie Chaozhong to lead the troops.

Emperor Yongxing looked at Zhang Yan, his eyes were unusually sharp.

Zhang Yan sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that Wang Xueshan and Wang Tian jumped out to stir up the situation, and the emperor's mind became more and more firm, and it was difficult to change it. If Chen Xiyan still doesn't give in at this time, the emperor is afraid that he will force Chen Xiyan to speak on the spot; In the final analysis, whether this matter can be done or not has always been determined by the emperor's attitude, Zhang Yan said: "The Inner Treasury Mansion may be able to squeeze out three or five hundred thousand taels of silver......

"The imperial camp army is unusable, and if you use it in Huinan, Jiangning is in danger!" Chen Xiyan knelt down in front of the hall and did not agree with Xie Chaozhong to lead the troops from Huinan to fight in western Zhejiang.

"The left one is unusable, the right one is unusable, I ask you, what is usable?" Emperor Yongxing said sharply, "In the past two years, every time I encounter martial arts, I have come in person, and although the military appearance and military prestige are not enough to call the people heroes, they are also quite impressive. Besides, if there is no war, when will the imperial camp be available? ”

Lin Xuwen was silent, and Emperor Yongxing's thoughts were clear.

Emperor Yongxing just didn't trust foreign soldiers, even if he knew that the imperial camp army could not be regarded as elite, he also thought that the current situation on the southern front, Xie Chaozhong led the troops to attack from Huinan, there would not be much threat, and it was just an opportunity for the imperial camp army to exercise......

Emperor Yongxing was anxious to get rid of the current situation in which the vassal marshals were more important than the outside, and there were no elite soldiers and horses available in his hands, so how could he talk about cutting the military power of the vassal marshals and vassal ministers?

This kind of impatient and even impatient mentality makes it difficult for Chen Xiyan to give him enough trust.

Chen Xiyan knocked in front of the palace with a "bang" sound, and Emperor Yongxing spoke ill of each other, and His Royal Highness's ministers were all stunned. Zuo Chengmu also walked to the front of the hall and knelt down, and admonished: "Huinan uses soldiers, even if it is the best policy, it should be treated carefully. Coming from Huizhou, passing through Ningguo to Jiangning, the mountains and rivers are easy, there is no heavy army to block, Jiangning will be in danger of swords...... Even if you have to use troops from southern Hui, it is advisable to use the veteran Deng Yu. ”

"Deng Yu can be the deputy marshal, and then choose an old minister who is old and knows military affairs, thinking that he is the military supervisor, and he can have a discussion in case of trouble. Even if he decides to send troops from Huinan again, he will never use troops rashly," Emperor Yongxing stood up from the gilded dragon chair and said, "I am not without consideration for all the disadvantages you say. Since I ascended the throne, I have not experienced dangers, so how can I be safe in everything? ”

"The Emperor Shengming!" Cheng Yuqian knelt down and drank the promise, which was a gesture.

He has always been on which side the wind is blowing and which way it is going, and the current situation is already obvious. Besides, the foundation of the imperial camp army is the Jiangning garrison army, if you want to say that the imperial camp army is not useful at all, Cheng Yuqian will not admit it.

Xie Chaozhong's leading of the troops seems to be of no benefit, but at least it does not seem to be harmful for the time being. Besides, who can say that Xie Chaozhong will definitely lose the battle if he leads his troops out of Huinan?

The situation is like a mountain, seeing that Emperor Yongxing's mind has been decided, and Wang Xueshan, Wang Tian, Cheng Yuqian, Zhang Yan and other important ministers have all succumbed, Chen Xiyan also knows that it is useless for him to fight alone, is it possible to force each other with words?

Chen Xiyan knelt down in front of the hall with a sad face, and said: "If the old minister's crippled body can survive the New Year, please ask the emperor to allow the old minister to return to his hometown after illness......"

"Chen Aiqing, you are loyal to the imperial court, I know in my heart, don't say this kind of angry talk again......" Emperor Yongxing was annoyed that Chen Xiyan didn't give him face, but he was also afraid that Chen Xiyan would pick on his son at this time, looked at Lin Xuwen, and asked, "Lin Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

"The emperor is determined to do so, and the minister can't dissuade him, but the minister doesn't dare to agree. Qiang Zhao's death began with talking on paper,......" Lin Xuwen said word by word.

"Enough!" Emperor Yongxing didn't think that Lin Xuwen would talk about these disappointing words at this time, so he didn't let him talk nonsense, his face was gloomy, and he said angrily, "If you want to die, it is also the world of death, and it is not your turn to talk nonsense!" ”

"The emperor is angry, and the ministers are also outspoken, and loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth." Lin Xuwen knelt down to plead guilty, thinking that Huaidong might only have one way to go.

"Humph!" Emperor Yongxing snorted coldly.

"According to Weichen's view, it is necessary to guard against the Zhejiang-Fujian rebels in western Zhejiang, and it can be announced to the outside world that Feng Anbo will go to Jiangzhou to represent Yue Xiang," Yu Xinyuan said, "When the imperial camp army is ready to march in Jiangning, it can also be caught off guard against the Zhejiang......-Fujian rebels."

"What a good strategy," Emperor Yongxing praised, "What is being discussed today, Zhong Aiqing must not leak the slightest rumor, otherwise he will be punished as collaborating with the enemy!" ”

Lin Xuwen sneered in his heart: The strategy of repairing the plank road and secretly crossing Chen Cang, where can anyone do it? The luxury family was blind, so they couldn't see the problems in Huinan.

**************

It was a foregone conclusion that Xie Chaozhong would lead the troops to the expedition, and after the court meeting, Lin Xuwen didn't even bother to go to the political affairs hall, and Huaidong also had to prepare for the worst.

"Lord Lin!"

Lin Xuwen turned around and saw Chen Xiyan calling him from behind, stopped, and asked, "What does Chen Xiang command?" ”

"Huaidong really doesn't want Xie Chaozhong to lead the troops to the battle?" Chen Xiyan asked.

Lin Xuwen looked at Chen Xiyan's forehead and left a blood mark, and sighed in his heart: In order to seek a phase, Chen Xiyan was also unscrupulous, but he didn't expect the Manchu Dynasty Wenchen, at this time, only he was truly loyal to the Yuan family.

"Xie Chaozhong is anxious to seek merit, and it is easy to be taken advantage of by the enemy, which is one of the disadvantages; It is difficult for Xie Chaozhong and Deng Chaozhong to reconcile, and this is the second disadvantage," Lin Xuwen said, "With these two disadvantages, how can Huaidong support Xie Chaozhong to lead the army?" ”

"If Huaidong immediately sends troops to Mindong, is it feasible?" Chen Xiyan asked.

"The East China Sea is in turmoil, and Huaidong is more dangerous than Xie Chaozhong leading troops to Mindong at this time." Lin Xuwen said.

Huaidong used troops against Mindong at this time, and Xie Chaozhong dragged on for three months to lead the troops to Huizhou, but there was no leakage. But at this time, storms in the East China Sea were very frequent, and it was not a last resort, how could Huaidong let tens of thousands of generals take such a big risk and cross the stormy East China Sea by sea boat?

There was no room for negotiation at all, and Lin Xuwen rejected Chen Xiyan's temptation.
