.In the afternoon of the same day, news came out of Tongzheng. Chen Mo and Zhang Juzheng wrote a letter at the same time, firmly demanding to take the initiative to expel the light enemy and avenge the murder of Shizhou. Later, the two of them reported another memorial. Zhang Juzheng insisted on nine reasons for the battle. Chen Mo described the seven reasons for winning this battle, and he sang and cooperated with each other, which immediately caused a great response in the capital.
On the one hand, their rank is here, one is the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Revenue. "The two senior officials of the ministry spoke at the same time, and their weight was naturally not light; but more importantly, their identities are both the favorite disciples of Mr. Xu. At this critical moment, the two of them wrote letters at the same time, which made people think of whether Mr. Xu was behind the scenes.
So many people wrote memorials overnight with different purposes, and before morning court the next day, they handed them all over the Tongzhengsi Department.
"The old hatred has not yet faded, and new hatred has been added. If you don't repay this time, you will not be a human being." This is full of passion.
"Give me three thousand tigers and attack the old nests of the Tartars, and you will not cause your Majesty's worries." This is overestimating your ability.
"Your Majesty is the only one who is not a worldly resource for the world. With Yuan Fu's careful consideration, and with the various towns in the world to serve the king, it is enough to match the heavenly beings. The so-called benevolent person is invincible, and the matter is not doubtful..." This is a pleasing model.
"The Tartars have been exhausted for more than a month after entering the country. Just as they are at the end of their strength, they cannot wear Lu silk. Our army defends the country and unites with the enemy. "Super the energy and the battle will surely be able to win..." This is rational and analytical.
These memorials, one by one, were removed from the text, turned into exciting horns, and they were heard in the court. For a moment, the public opinion was so happy that people were excited and the emotions were inspiring. The ministers wanted to join the army and immediately urged their horses to leave the city and fight to the death with the Tartars!
Although the people who made the decision in the end were the top leaders. However, the pressure of public opinion and the direction of Shilin will inevitably affect their decision-making.
Gao Gong was originally a pro-war faction, and the country was in trouble. No matter who was in charge of his proposal, he naturally supported him. But for the other two bigwigs, I didn’t want him to be so happy...
After the scattered court, Wenyuan Pavilion and the chief minister were on duty. Xu Jie and Yang Bo sat opposite each other.
Everything that happened in the morning court made Yang Bo feel very sad and still has a dark face.
Xu Jie smiled bitterly and said, "I said it was not my idea, do you believe it?", "It doesn't matter if I believe it or not..." Yang Bo groaned and said, "The officials have believed it. Is it you said, and what's the difference..."
Xu Jie's face showed a laughing and crying expression: "The young people nowadays are so bold and arrogant. I am confused and they represent them..."
"I'm afraid it's Mr. Huating, I'll acquiesce in my heart..." When you think he's confused, he's pretending to be confused. Once he doesn't pretend, he will understand more than anyone else: "You're afraid of people saying that Huating is the right one..."
"Haha..." Xu Jie shook his head and said, "It's safe to listen to Puzhou's major military and national affairs..."
"You also know I am from Shanxi." Where are the Tartars now? It's in Shanxi! Do you think I don't want to send troops?" Yang Boyu said angrily: "But everything has to start from the overall situation. Once there is a mistake in the capital! Or the entire army is wiped out, who will take the responsibility..."
"Yupo, I'll go and understand you..." Xu Jie comforted Yang Bo softly, but sneered in his heart. What if I bully me and don't understand geography? The Tartars invaded Jinzhong and stopped going south, far away from you Jinnan. Of course, he would not expose Yang Bo's self-discipline. "A big man, he wants to save face to each other. So Xu Jie whispered: "You are a mature country, and you are enduring humiliation and filth..."
"Uh..." What does it mean to endure humiliation and hide dirt? Yang Boxin said, why is it so awkward. He said in a muffled voice: "Yuan Weng, only you can suppress the situation at this time." "That's it..." Xu Jie said with a puzzled look: "The problem is that even the one who wants to go up is now, and the cabinet needs to come up with a plan to attack quickly..."
"Short after the emperor ascended the throne, Gao Gong was surrounded by his side, silent. Of course, a pro-war faction like Zhang Juzheng would be moved..." Yang Bo stared at Xu Jie and said, "The gate is your Master Xu. As long as you support me, this matter will be left alone, otherwise... it will not end..."
"Haha," Xu Jie laughed again. It's the first time he has known Yang Bo for decades. Is it okay to see him lose his composure like this: "Yu Po, please tell me, is there really no chance of winning this battle?", "Really...ah..." Yang Bo sighed: "On the surface, it's not completely unlucky. After all, the Tartars have violated a military taboo, but the combat effectiveness of our Ming army is so powerful that it's a hemp rope to carry tofu. It's okay to let them defend the city, but if you want to attack like this, you will be defeated first. Will you give me some melons and vegetables to the Mongolians..." After a pause, he gave an example: "When the officers and soldiers heard that Altan led a large army to come, they were silent and hurried in Xuanfu, the thick walls of Datong's high city, and watched Altan lead his troops south. Until Altan slaughtered Shizhou, the governor Wang Zhigao heard the change and knew that the situation was serious, he used 6,000 cavalry to arrive in Yanmen. Datong and 20,000 cavalry also arrived. However, when he got closer, he was all in a row and no one invited him to attack. After Altan walked away, they killed the refugee soldiers and received victory. With such an army, can you expect them to drive away the soft captives? It would be better to go to the gods...","
Listening to Yang Bo's mature analysis, Xu Jie had already had an idea in his mind, but seemed to be pounding again and sighed: "What you said is......"
"It was..." Yang Bo said with a groaning smile: "Zhang Juzheng has never left Tai Pavilion. He is purely a scholarly word. Although Chen Si has resisted hunches and served as a Southeastern strategy, he has never been in contact with military affairs. It happened to be a good match. When he met this capable man, he won several battles. He thought I was invincible in the world. "It's really ridiculous..." He was really annoyed by Chen Si and Zhang Juzheng. After he clearly expressed his attitude, the two of them actually made a big banner and sang against him without hesitation. He was really not a son of humanity!
"But..." Xu Jie really sighed this time and said, "Look at my "three stills of vows, and they are still hanging on the wall. The matters of the cabinet are not my own, so I have the final say..."
"Well..." Yang Bo knew that Xu Jie was talking about Gao Gong, the main battle leader, and the emperor still listened to this guy. "It's really tricky. But in the final analysis, Xu Jie couldn't hold his face down and didn't want to be said to be a feather of a feather with his ex: "I'm asking you now, Master Chief, what's your attitude? Fight or not, give me a clear word..."
"I'm very conflicted when you say it..." After a while of silence, Xu Jie slowly said: "War, there are reasons to fight." If you don't fight, there are reasons to fight. Is it a matter of not fighting?..." As he said that, he looked at Yang Bo tentatively and said: "We want to fight on a small scale, even if we can't win, it doesn't matter..."
After hearing Xu Jie's words, Yang Bo's breath became thicker, his face changed for a while, he picked up the tea in front of him and drank it all in one go. "Well, everyone is good, you can't be just a villain..." He said, "I don't say anything anymore. Just do whatever you like, but the soldiers and soldiers in the Beijing camp have to stay in Beijing. There is nothing to discuss."
"Then how can they fight?" Xu Jie was a little stunned.
"There are so many troops outside the city that serve the kings. Let them just dispatch troops to fight whatever they want..." Yang Bo said, put the teacup on the table, bowed his hand and said, "Goodbye..." and left with his sleeves.
When Yang Bo walked out, the expression on Xu Jie's face gradually restrained and he returned to his old appearance as a Gujing Bubo." He just made a move in front of Yang Bo, just to clear himself and let Yang Bo know that the behavior of Chen Si and Zhang Juzheng was not his behind-the-scenes instruction. In fact, he had already made up his mind to fight a limited battle, not seeking to change anything, but just meaning!
After making up his mind and Yang Bo's attitude was clear, Xu Jie came to the main hall to hold a cabinet meeting. Because the two giants had a rare consensus this time, the meeting progressed surprisingly quickly...
First of all, there are candidates for general military affairs. Among the officials who came to serve the king, there were two governors, six governors, and several generals, generals, etc. These people were not very good at fighting, but they had a big temper. Therefore, the general system they were looking for not only know how to fight, but also had to keep the tables. Originally, Yang Bo was the most suitable candidate, but he refused to cooperate, so he could only find someone else. Looking around the officials in the court, the level of whom he could fight was not enough, and those who were good at fighting would not fight. After all, there was no second suitable except silence.
Xu Jie and Gao Gong both had full confidence in the ability of silence, so they decided to coordinate and command the battle. However, it was obviously not a big deal to let the Minister of War be in charge without the need of the Minister of War. Besides, they had to take care of the emotions of the Ministry of War, so Yang Bo was still the head coach and Chen Si was the deputy commander. Of course, in order to avoid the conflict between the two, someone would have to suppress them.
Gao Gong originally planned to be the supervisor, but Xu Jie refused and said that he would let you do it. It was a defiance. It would be better to exclude Yang Bo directly. Let me do it. Gao Gong thought that since the silence was his student, Xu Jie would definitely not turn his arms out, so he followed him.
So the Chief Auxiliary personally supervised the army, Yang Bo served as the head coach and silently served as the deputy commander, and formed a leadership team.
The rest is a difficult task, which is to raise the transfer of grain and grass to feed, which is a thankless errand, but Gao Gong said that Zhang Juzheng had already said hello and was willing to take the initiative. Xu Jie knew that since Zhang Juzheng first proposed to fight, he must take responsibility in it, so he agreed.
It took only half an hour to finalize a series of arrangements, which was so efficient and fast that several cabinet masters were unable to adapt. The ticket was planned to be quickly sent to the official gift and the supervisor for approval, and then it turned into an imperial edict to convey it.
After receiving the appointment, Chen Si immediately rushed to the cabinet and met Zhang Juzheng, the general secretary. The latter smiled and bowed: "Don't worry, the general commander, we must have strong guarantees so that the soldiers in front will have no worries..."
Silent smiled bitterly and said, "You can still laugh, I'm afraid you don't know the suffering of military supplies..."
Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "That may not be true, don't underestimate others..."
Silently smiled, then walked into Wenyuan Pavilion side by side with him. When he met Gao Gong, he didn't stare at him. He cheered the two of them and said, "Do it well, if you have any difficulties, just say, I will solve them for you..."
The two of them thanked each other, Gao Gong nodded and said, "Go, don't be nonsense and do more." Then he left.
Chen Mo and Zhang Juzheng looked at each other and smiled bitterly, thinking to himself, this tall man is like a strong wine, and he can't stand the poor alcohol tolerance.
When they entered the chief assistant's room, they saw Xu Jie's memorial attentively, so the two of them waited quietly for a while.
"You are here..." Seeing that the two of you came in, Xu Jie took off his glasses and said, "Let's sit there."
After saluting, the two sat down and listened to Xu Jie: "Jiangnan, I have read your second memorial carefully. It said very well." It gives people confidence, but..." Thinking about it, "It seems that there are specific things that are not specific. Although the teacher has never been in the military, he also knows that fighting is not a general principle. There are also specific strategic wars. "Teacher, how can these things be clearly explained in the memorial?" Zhang Juzheng smiled and said: "Jiangnan". You should report to the supervisor on the spot."
"You want to know, right?" Xu Jie couldn't help but smile.
"It's all the same, it's all the same." Zhang Juzheng said embarrassedly.
Chen Jing said confidently: "First, we can select generals. Without elite soldiers and strong generals, there is no way to talk about victory."
"Can you choose it?" Xu Jie said worriedly when he remembered Yang Bo's words.
"There are no heroes in the Ming Dynasty?" said silently: "Now the light enemy has violated several military taboos." As long as you select elite soldiers and good generals, what's the difficulty of seeking victory?"
"Why do you want to fight?" Zhang Juzheng asked.
"This depends on the enemy's situation..." Chen Si said lightly.
Zhang Juzheng almost fainted and said, "Do you don't have a constitution in your heart?"
"The way of the battlefield is ever-changing." How can you predict in advance? You can only respond to the enemy." Thinking silently, I would say something, so that they could feel at ease: "The Tartars are divided into two routes, east and west, and they seem to echo each other from afar, but in fact they are hundreds of miles apart." They are all alone. I have a surprise soldier that can surprise them, and there is another regular soldier that can defeat their sharpness. If both are used properly, there will be no worries about not winning one victory... However, commanding operations is the general's business, and the specific strategy should be discussed with the generals before finalizing it. It is still too early to say anything."
Zhang Juzheng opened his mouth wide and closed it for a long time. He thought to himself that he had made the wrong bet. "Why does it feel unreliable?
Xu Jie also smashed his mouth and said a little weak: "Okay, I'll wait for your good news." Mu Yichengzhou, it's too late to say anything now, so he can only trust him to the end.
Since Silence did not talk about tactics, Xu Jie could only repeatedly instruct him not to make a big move, not to seek big victory, and to calculate defeat before the victory was calculated, and everything was to achieve the goal. Silence was carefully recorded and showed that he understood.
After coming out, Zhang Juzheng suddenly smiled and said, "You are an unprovoked commander, and I am an unprovoked military officer. I really have watched this battle."
"It doesn't matter if I have no idea," he said silently but calmly: "Just don't command blindly, but I'm very worried about you..." Zhang Juzheng said nothing.
The two went to the Ministry of War again, and Yang Bo was no longer angry. He encouraged the two of them with a gentle voice, and said that he had to take on the task of defending the city and had no energy to care about anything else. If he went to fight, he had to rely on Shenmen Hall to make more plans.
Chen Si didn't expect him to help, and said in a decent and humble manner: "Since you are asked to be responsible for the attack, please give the commander a military talisman." In order to prevent the general from causing chaos, the power of the Beijing camp was unified under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. In other words, without the Ministry of War, no one can call out a soldier in the camp, otherwise even if the rebellion is considered to be a rebellion, the nine clans will be killed. Therefore, Chen Si had to mobilize troops, and Yang Bo had to ask for the military talisman first.
Yang Bo said, "The military talisman has been given to the Marquis of Dongning. Which army do you want to transfer? Just ask him for military talisman." Marquis of Dongning Jiao Ying, the general manager of the Beijing Camp, did have military talismans in his hand, but also Yang Bo's secret order to let him leave the city in the name of patrolling the outer bunkers. He must not find the silence.
Chen Si didn't know there was any fraud, so he had to get up and say goodbye. After coming out, Chen Si said, "Let's not go around one family, and I can't afford to delay, so go to the military camp first; I'll ask someone to find him first, and 80% of them are also in the military camp."
Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "I am an amateur, and I will listen to you."
Just as I was about to get on the sedan chair separately, I heard someone calling in silence: "Sir."
"When I looked back, I saw a general with a tall figure, bright armor, a sword, and a mighty aura. He came out of the yamen. When I saw again, who was not Li Chengliang? He couldn't help but smile and said, "So quickly?" It turned out that in the morning, Li Chengliang said that he came to the Ministry of War to register, but he didn't expect that in the morning, even his military uniform was sent.
"It's just that I can be quicker at this time." Li Chengliang held his waist knife and said with a wry smile.
"Where are you assigned?" Chen Si signaled him to leave with him, and asked softly after walking out for a while.
"Go to Juyongguan and be the general." Li Chengliang said: "But I don't plan to go." I'll follow the general." He was the hereditary commander of the Jin Dynasty, but this is equivalent to a military rank, and the general is a military position, second to the general and deputy general, which is really terrifyingly high...... He hadn't been a soldier for one day yesterday, but today he became a senior general, which also shows the unreasonableness of the Ming Dynasty's military system.
"Military orders are like a mountain." Silently said: "Is this OK?"
"Aren't you the deputy commander? It's not a matter of just one sentence." Li Chengliang said indifferently.
"You just let me offend Yang Bo to death." Silent sighed helplessly. At this time, Hu Yong led two horses. Since he became handsome, he could no longer sit in a sedan chair.
Silently stomped on the stirrups and turned over the horse. Li Chengliang also got another horse. Hu Yong said anxiously: "This is for Lord Zhang."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Juzheng lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and smiled, "Ride it for him, I can't ride a horse."
Li Chengliang clasped his fists and grinned and said, "Thank you, Lord Zhang."
"You have to be polite." Zhang Juzheng nodded at him and lowered the bridge curtain.
So two riders and one sedan chair, surrounded by guards, went to the outer city camp.
