Chapter 2261 Road to Strong Army
Li Chunfang was slightly stunned at first, and then looked at Lin Qingran with resentment. It turned out that Lin Qingran wanted to let his own sister take charge.
Lin Junran was not embarrassed and seemed to explain seriously: "The so-called talented people do not avoid relatives! This time, the person who was in charge must have strategy and also have some prestige in the army. In addition, the Guanzi Bo can be literary and military, I think
The crown scarf is the most suitable candidate!”
It's not that he is favoritism, this is indeed a truth.
Although he has always criticized his sister for being too playful, in terms of military ability and personal reputation, it is indeed the goal of his sister who can achieve the quick battle.
In particular, the imperial court has always been inclined to civil servants when choosing head coaches. His sister made her fortune as civil servants in her early years, but now she is more controversial than Qi Jiguang, Shi Huashan and others.
"You will naturally decide the candidates for the war, but the court still depends on the results, otherwise your troubles will definitely not be small this time!" Li Chunfang had no prejudice against Lin, but still warned seriously.
Lin Xuran knew that Li Chunfang had such a kindness, and nodded seriously and said, "The situation is hard to come by now. I will not have an opportunity for anyone with ulterior motives!"
This war seems risky, but since he decided to severely punish Yang Yinglong, he has already deduced all possible sudden situations. As for the conquest of the Yang family in Bozhou, he has already made complete preparations.
Of course, many things are "someone is planning, but the best is to succeed". Whether the expected results can be achieved depends on whether your sister can implement the plan you formulated.
Li Chunfang looked at Lin Qingran deeply, felt the determination in Lin Qingran's eyes, and couldn't help feeling a little helplessness and relief in her heart.
Since he entered the officialdom, he has seen too many court struggles and clearly seen the greed of various interest groups. Even Xu Jie, who was known as the wise prime minister, was just a hypocritical hypocrite.
Only in Lin Weiran did he see a rare spirit of hard work, the hope of the rise of the Ming Dynasty, and a person with great courage to change this dynasty.
In the eyes of many officials, not only does he not have the power of his ex-boyee Yan Song and Xu Jie, but he is also a little bit weaker.
But he knew very well that the reason for this situation was that on the one hand, his personality was that he was already tired of party struggles, and on the other hand, he was more willing to see the energetic cabinet now.
After entering the officialdom for twenty years, he felt that he was really doing things, and it was this cabinet that truly started working on people's livelihood and eliminating bad policies.
Faced with this kind of situation that benefits the country and the people, what reason do you have to break this balance and return the court to the endless struggle?
That's right, even though he is already the chief minister of the dynasty, he is willing to act as a green leaf. He just hopes that the court will have less internal friction and everyone will work together to save this precarious dynasty.
After the two reached a unified thought, Lin Qingran and Li Chunfang discussed some possible "accidents" before leaving with peace of mind.
Just two days later, the news that Yang Lie raised the anti-flagship reached the capital.
In fact, the rebellion of the Southwest Chiefs is no longer a new thing. These Southwest Chiefs have a high degree of autonomy and will rebel against the Ming Dynasty if there is any friction.
For this reason, the Ming Dynasty also proposed the political policy of "changing the land and returning to the land and returning to the land and the power of the chieftains", but due to the greed of local officials and the strength of the chieftains, some places always swayed in the system of official affairs and local officials.
Especially the Ming army was becoming increasingly corrupt, and many places needed to rely on the chieftain's army, which made the chieftain's arrogance even more arrogant.
But when they learned about this situation, many officials seemed very shocked and said: "The Yang family of Bozhou and our Han people were originally a family, and they have always supported our Ming Dynasty. How could Yang Lie rebel?"
The ancestors of the Yang family of Bozhou began in Taiyuan, Shanxi and have been rooted in Bozhou for 700 years. They are of authentic Han ancestry and have been closely related to the Yang family of Taiyuan, Shanxi, and have even had contacts with Yang Bo.
It is said that Yang, who had such a close relationship with the Ming Dynasty, should not rebel, but the anti-flagration was raised at this time, which made many officials unexpectedly beaten.
"Yang has been operating Bozhou for 700 years, and his chieftain is recognized as the strongest. What should we do now?" Some officials seemed very worried and authentic after learning about the situation.
As one of the largest toasts in the southwest territory, the Yang family of Bozhou can be called "a wolf in the southwest".
Such a powerful Yang family suddenly raised their flag to rebel against the Ming Dynasty, which was undoubtedly another huge challenge for the stability of the Ming Dynasty.
But no one expected that Yang Lie would allow his son Yang Yinglong to escape the sanctions of the Ming Dynasty law, and he chose to openly raise the anti-flag.
It is worth mentioning that in Yang Lie's manifesto, he pointed the finger at Lin Yanran, and blamed the reason for his uprising on "Lin Yanran's attempt to persecute their Yang clan."
Faced with Yang Lie's accusation, Lin Qingran turned a deaf ear and took a sedan chair to the Forbidden City to attend the morning court as usual.
The day is short in winter and the night is long, so the candles have to be burned in the Golden Palace during the morning court.
Longqing, wearing a dragon robe, yawned onto the dragon throne in the center of the Golden Palace, but he was still listless, but he couldn't help but yawn.
As he had more and more women, and after the appearance of Aoshan Lantern, his nightlife became more and more colorful, so his biological clock had already been chaotic.
Facing the familiar ministers in the hall, his eyes were filled with tears, and he couldn't help but yawn again, then raised his hand and said lightly: "Flat!"
"Thank you, my emperor, long live my emperor!" The five cabinet ministers led all the officials and said respectfully.
Chen Hong turned his head and looked at Long Qing who was yawning, and followed the process as before, singing to the officials in the hall: "If you have something to do, please report it, and if you have nothing to do, you will leave the court!"
As winter begins to rise, the golden sun sets on the Forbidden City covered with snow.
The candles in the Golden Palace have been extinguished, and the main hall here has become brighter, and a ray of warm sunlight falls in front of the hall through the window.
After the officials took turns to submit memorials, it was the turn of the memorial to the level of the slogan of the Kedao period.
"Emperor, Mr. Lin cannot distinguish the interests in the case of Yang Yinglong this time. He insisted on arresting Danglie's son Yang Yinglong to the capital for trial, forcing the Yang family to rebel against the Ming Dynasty. Mr. Lin was unforgivable for his crimes.
The emperor asked him to think about his mistakes!" Zhang Jixian, the clerk of the Criminal Department, first looked at Wang Guoguang, and then stood up to submit a memorial to impeachment.
When Wang Guoguang saw Zhang Jixian standing up, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
As long as Lin Qingran was forced to reflect on himself at home and then arranged personnel to persuade Yang Lie to surrender, Lin Qingran would confirm the stain. As long as he added more trouble, it would not be unimaginable to force Lin Qingran to go back to Guangdong.
this……
When the officials in the hall heard this argument, they couldn't help but stare at each other and found that the new party struggle had begun again.
As Lin Xuran expected, when the manifesto came, the Shanxi Gang also pointed the finger at Lin Xuran, believing that Lin Xuran should bear certain responsibility for this matter.
Lin Xuran was not surprised by this accusation, but when facing this sudden cold arrow, he looked at his nose and his heart, and he looked like he was not concerned about his own affairs.
But now Lin Weiran is no longer the lonely man he used to be, but a real leader of the civil service group. There are countless teams or disciples standing by his side. Many things no longer need him to take action in person.
Wang Jun saw that his mentor was impeached, and immediately responded: "Zhang Qijian, although this incident was caused by Master Lin's insistence on interrogating Yang Yinglong, does Yang Yinglong really need to be investigated if he committed such an evil deed?
?”
"Even if you want to pursue it, you can use relatively gentle means instead of being so anxious! Besides, Master Lin is only in charge of the Ministry of War, but he is not involved in criminal matters, which is suspected of being overthrown!"
The clerk Zhang Jixian did not wait for the others to speak, but continued to attack Lin Qinran and said.
"The arrest of Yang Yinglong to the Marquis of Jing for trial. This matter was not the idea of Lin Ge Lao, but the resolution of the cabinet, which was also decided by the emperor! Even if someone had to take responsibility for this matter, it was the responsibility of me and my colleagues. Why do you need to be the same as me and my colleagues?
Only blame Lin Ge Lao?" Li Chunfang stood up and said, "It's just that Yang Yinglong took his wife and killed pregnant women, and persecuted countless people. Such evil deeds are already angered by heaven and resentful, so how can the court punish him?
?Now Xuanwei sent Yang Lie to ignore the laws of the court and even wanted to protect his evil son Yang Yinglong and raise the flag to rebel. How could we lose our opponents and be afraid of it?"
Gu...
Facing the continuous questions of Li Chunfang, the chief minister of the cabinet, Zhang Jixian couldn't help but swallow guiltily, and at the same time turned his head to look at Wang Guoguang with a little aggrievedness.
Wang Guoguang looked as heavy as water at this moment. He originally planned to attack Master Lin, but he didn't expect Li Chunfang to stand up and support Lin Junran himself.
Although he knew that Li Chunfang had become unfamiliar with their Shanxi Gang, he had the Xu Jie link after all. Even if he didn't stand on his side, he shouldn't help Lin Qingran.
But the cowardly prime minister had already put on a pair of shoes with Lin Shiran, and even stood up to support Lin Shiran. How could he still have the strength to compete with Lin Shiran?
Zhu Heng, Ma Sen and others originally wanted to stand up and besiege Zhang Jixian, but when they saw Li Chunfang taking action himself, their eyes were both surprised and secretly excited.
"Emperor, since Your Majesty succeeded to the Grand Tutor, all Japanese pirates in the southeast have been killed, and the Tatars in the north dare not knock on the gate. It was the time when the wise ruler was in power and the Ming Dynasty was strong. Now, the envoy of Xuanwei in the southwest has not thought about the emperor's kindness.
When rebelling, I beg to immediately dispatch the Nine Borders to punish him, to promote the reputation of the Ming Dynasty and build the foundation for the Ming Dynasty forever!" Lin Qingran saw that Zhang Jixian was speechless, so he stood up and asked Longqing for his orders.
In fact, he is now in a high position, and the most reliable way is undoubtedly like Xu Jie, who allows local forces to continue to grow and sit firmly in the capital.
Even if there are incidents such as the massacre of Xinghua Prefecture City or the attack of Guilin Prefecture, all the responsibilities can be put on the Ministry of War.
However, Lin Qingran knew very well that if China wants to truly rise, this absurd concession cannot be strong at all. If we want to achieve great integration of the entire China, then the problem of the chieftain is not to sit idly by.
The most important thing is that when a strong country is born in this era, a strong country should be a strong army! If the army cannot develop, then no matter how rich the army is, no matter how much gold and silver you get from overseas, you will not be spared from being bullied by foreign races.
It is precisely because he intends to lead the Ming Dynasty to a strong military, pushing forward these wars, and allowing the Chinese nation to truly stand at the top of the world.
"I'm going to discuss it!" Zhu Heng and other officials ignored Wang Guoguang and others, and immediately stood up to respond to Lin Junran.
Longqing saw that almost all the officials in the court had the same attitude, and was even more looking forward to the Wanshi Jiye that Lin Junran said, and also dispelled his doubts and said: "It's great! Please make the cabinet formulate a conquest plan and kill the rebel Yang Lie!"
"I will obey the order!" Li Chunfang, Guo Pu and Lin Qingran and other five cabinet ministers seemed to be in high spirits of fighting, and immediately bowed in unison.
Bang!
Seeing that the situation was completely unaffected by him, Wang Guoguang felt a loud slap on his face, and found that he was simply a clown.
Although behind him is the Shanxi Gang with strong financial resources and has many eunuchs in the palace as internal support, it is already a dream to challenge Lin Yanran by relying on these alone.
During the period when he left, the court had already undergone earth-shaking changes, and their Shanxi officials were no longer as powerful as they were back then.
The current cabinet is united, and the cabinet quickly reached a consensus. Lin Pingchang served as the chief squad, leading a total of 30,000 cavalry battalions and nine-sided generals to Bozhou to conquer the rebel Yang Lie.
Although the commander and army of the combat were soon finalized, food and grass have always been the biggest factor that plagued the army's mobile combat.
In view of this, the cabinet also adopted the proposal of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Ma Sen, and the Ming Dynasty court pioneered the issuance of new national bonds - war bonds.
Since Longqing had a precedent for issuing treasury bonds, and the silver notes of United Money Bank were recognized by everyone, this interest-bearing bond was soon sold successfully in Beijing through United Money Bank.
"Everyone has the responsibility to pacify the thief!"
"Yangzhou has been entrenched in Bozhou for decades, and the silver treasury is more than just one hundred thousand taels!"
"I wish I could join the army. Now I will spend all my money and help this battle!"
...
Many noble children and scholars have a natural sense of excitement about war. Faced with the war coupons issued through joint money houses, they also took out their money to subscribe.
In just three days, the war bonds of 100,000 taels were sold out.
The cabinet has already finalized the plan for how to repay this huge amount of war bonds, but it is necessary to withdraw the corresponding silver from the search of Yang's family's wealth.
That's why this war bond undoubtedly poses certain risks. Once they cannot defeat the Yang family, or undoubtedly obtain enough property from the Yang family's wealth, it is likely to cause a breach of contract.
