Chapter 827: Pheasant Sichen
A disagreement made him dismissed a Minister of War. The strength shown by Qin Rouni made Cao Yi secretly startled, but he didn't care. This was not a good opportunity for him to recommend someone to serve as the important position of Minister of War. After a look at his colleagues who were a little jealous around him, they were eager to try it. Who could stand here without an interest group behind him? It seems that this position is not sure today. Cao Yi was thinking about what price he would have to pay to get this position smoothly. Since Qin Rouni took over the emperor's jurisdiction, the final decision was in her hands.
As Cao Yi expected, the big fat man was here. No matter whether he could compete or not, he had to compete first. Everyone was qualified and had no shortage of people with sufficient conditions. What's more, if they compete first, they had to provide conditions to exchange, and they would always get something.
Everyone had a dispute for a while, but no agreement was reached. Qin Rouniang waved his hand, "Since you can't discuss the right candidate for a while, let's put it aside first. There are two ministers in the Ministry of War, each in charge of one, and you won't miss the matter at the moment. Let's discuss the main matter!"
Everyone was satisfied with this result, and they left time for everyone to make a deal privately, and then reported the last candidate. Everyone was happy.
Everyone sat down, Cao Yi opened his head, "The Empress has never heard of politics, and is unfamiliar. It just so happened that the ministers of various ministries and commissions are here, so I asked all the adults to tell the Empress a general explanation."
Qin Rouniang shook her head and said, "These are not urgent matters, so let's just go first. I want to say that Uncle Wang suddenly passed away. There must be something wrong with Jiangnan. What are you calculating in your hearts?"
As soon as he asked this, Cao Yi and others were stunned. There was too much trouble last night. First, the bell rang, then the chaos in Shangjing, and then the emperor had a stroke. Although everyone was all the people who were still indifferent to Mount Tai collapsed, they had no time to think about Jiangnan. At this time, Qin Rouni mentioned it, and everyone realized that when Li Qing died, Jiangnan would definitely be shocked. Park Demeng had a hundred thousand troops spied in front of him. If he was willing to miss this opportunity, he might take the opportunity to attack.
Cao Yi thought more deeply. Li Qing died strangely. Although she didn't know the exact evidence now, this matter must be unrelated to Qin Rounniang, because she was the greatest vested interest. Once Li Qing died, Xiong Kuohai would definitely take over the southern town army successfully. Now Qin Rounniang is obeying the government again. Xiong Kuohai, the commander of the southern town army, has been determined. In the past, Li Qing was in the same place, Su Can and Quan Changbin followed Li Qing's control. Now that Li Qing is dead, Su Can and Quan Changbin are willing to obey a general who is a master of the martial arts world. If the three armies are not well coordinated, there will inevitably be loopholes. Thinking of this, fine sweat emerges from his head. If Jiangnan loses, it will be a disaster. Not to mention losing, it will be defended, but the battle is in chaos, which is not something that Shangjing can bear.
"Empress, you must immediately appoint a general in the south who can coordinate the overall situation and coordinate the three armies. Only in this way can the three armies use their lives and coordinate to resist the attack of the Northern Expedition Army." Cao Yi stood up suddenly, looking a little anxious.
Qin Rouniang nodded, "The chief assistant's words are reasonable, but I don't know who the chief assistant is in his mind."
"Su Can, can only be Su Can!" Cao Yi said decisively. "Empress, the three southern armies, Quan Changbin's 50,000 troops under Quan Changbin's command were not good at military affairs, but Quan Changbin himself was not good at military affairs. This person was better at governing the country. After the prince left, the deputy general of Xiong Kuohai should be the deputy general of Xiong Kuohai. Although Xiong Kuohai was extremely brave, he had a shallow qualifications and had a short time to join the army. If he was the main force, let alone Su Can was not convinced, even Quan Changbin could not be convinced. Compared with Xiong Kuohai, his military qualifications were longer. Only Su Can, who had been in the army for many years, had a deep experience, and had the ability to command the army for several years. Only he could assume the command of all the troops in the south to compete with the Northern Army."
With her chin supported, Qin Rounniang listened to Cao Yi patiently. She knew that it was impossible for Xiong Kuohai to take charge of the southern army. First, he had no qualifications, and second, Xiong Kuohai did not have the ability to command the southern army with a total of more than 200,000 people. However, she had her ideas. Li Xiao had a stroke suddenly and had to compromise with herself, so that she unexpectedly got the opportunity to listen to politics, which gave her a brand new opportunity.
"The chief assistant said yes." Qin Rounniang nodded. "I am familiar with Su Can. I was already a guerrilla general ten years ago. Later, after following the veteran General Feng Congyi for many years, he has fought in all directions over the years. He is very skilled and is indeed the best candidate for the South to coordinate the overall situation. The chief assistant coincides with my ideas."
Hearing Qin Rouni's full promise, Cao Yi was stunned. He thought Qin Rouni would definitely advocate Xiong Kuohai to take office, but he didn't expect that she actually intended Su Can, what agreement did His Majesty reach with her so that she could finally consider the overall situation. To be honest, if Qin Rouni insisted on Xiong Kuohai to take office, he would be ready to find a way out for himself.
Looking at Qin Rouniang's unpredictable and profound smile, Cao Yi couldn't help but feel a little shocked. Could it be that there is still something else?
As he expected, the following text came indeed.
"However." Qin Rouniang pondered for a moment: "The army of the southern town was defeated and even the commander suffered an unexpected defeat. The morale of the army can be imagined. However, they are still standing on the southern half of the defense line, which is worrying. As the chief minister said, after Xiong Kuohai took over as the southern town army, his ability and ability still need to be tempered. It is really not reassuring for the Southern Army to conquer the southern town army. Compared with Uncle Wang's old perseverance, Xiong Kuohai has more courage and lacks strategy."
Cao Yi was a little confused when he heard it, "Empress means"
"I think so. Now tens of thousands of subordinates of Quan Changbin are deployed in Huzhou and Ezhou as reserve forces. For this army that has been through many battles, it is too useless. It also makes the soldiers have the ambition to make contributions to the country, but they are in the rear and cannot use it. It is better to dispatch them to the front line and exchange defense with Xiong Kuohai. In this way, let the veterans of the Quan army, such as the war-making army, go to the front line to fight against Park Demeng's Northern Army. After Xiong Kuohai retreated, they will also take a rest and restore the morale of the army." Qin Rounniang said authentically.
Cao Yi's mind was turning like lightning. What was Qin Rouni who was going to do? She would never be aimless and would definitely have a backup plan, but she really couldn't guess what she was going to do. On the surface, Qin Rouni's plan was absolutely impeccable. The morale of the southern town army must be frustrated now, and it is understandable to withdraw. Although Quan Changbin's army was not a guard, he had been tempered in the anti-Mongolian front for several years and fought in the Central Plains for several years, and his combat effectiveness was not inferior to that of the guards. However, this plan was proposed by Qin Rouni, and Cao Yi instinctively felt that Qin Rouni was thinking about something. After these years, Cao Yi no longer dared to underestimate this woman.
"What do you think of the Chief Aunt?" Qin Rouniang looked at Cao Yi with a flashing look.
Cao Yi has suppressed the gods. Since you can't see anything strange, it's okay to respond first. Let's deal with it later!
"The Empress is very worried. Su Can and Quan Changbin cooperated with each other on the Taizhou front line back then. With the two of them partnered, they should be able to win something on the front line." Cao Yi said.
Qin Rouniang smiled and nodded, "In addition to Quan Yifeng's Fifth Battalion, which is the main battle camp of the Northern Army, the other ones, such as the Feitian Camp and the Yizhou Camp, can only be regarded as second-line troops. As for the Bailian Camp and the surrendered Wang Xiang's troops, the combat effectiveness is much worse. As for the Weiwei, Xue Linfeng may not be able to be instructed by Su Can and Quan Changbin. The two of them will not have any suspicion before this. If they cooperate without interruption, they may even make a victory. As long as they can win one or two battles, they can reverse the decline caused by the unexpected attack of Uncle Wang. The morale and people in the south will inevitably be greatly boosted!"
Listening to Qin Rouniang's words, Cao Yi felt a little confused. Qin Rouniang's words made sense, but is it really that simple?
"This matter is decided like this. The palace will issue an order tomorrow, and Su Can is the commander-in-chief of all the southern troops. Su Can is now General Yunhui, the chief assistant. I mean, I will give Su Can the title of General Zhenguo and Quan Changbin the title of General Auxiliary, how about it?"
The general of Zhenguo is already the highest-level military general of Dayue. Since the founding of the country, few people have been able to obtain this position. Li Jia has only received this honor in his life. However, since Qin Rou Niang took the initiative to propose it, no matter what intention it is, Cao Yi will not be able to stop it. Otherwise, it will attract more hatred if it is spread!"
"There is no problem to add the title, but if Su Can adds the title, then what should I do if Congliang from Xiangzhou and Xie Shilin from Jingzhou do? "
"The qualifications of good deeds are older than Su Can, and he was also appointed as the general of the State of Zhen. As for Xie Shilin, he is now the general of the State of the State. However, in Jingzhou, he has not made any contributions, but was beaten to a miserable advance team in the Northern Military Region. The additional title seems to be too ridiculous to the award of the country's important weapon. Let's put it aside first and wait until he makes a contribution!"
"What the Empress means," Cao Yitan asked inquiring.
"Before Lian Zhongwen's death, his Majesty submitted a memorial, which talked about the great changes in the Northland. Lian Zhongwen was worried that if he allowed this, the court might not have any advantage in economics in a few years. He suggested that Your Majesty make contributions in advance. After reading Lian Zhongwen's memorial, I agree with it. The Chief Auxiliary, in the name of the cabinet tomorrow, I will ask Xie Shilin to plan the attack on the Northland!"
"Yes, the Lord's Highness has no problem with the text, but Madam, we no longer have a navy."
"If there is no navy, then rebuild it!" Qin Rounniang said: "Leave this matter to Xie Shilin."
"Xie Shilin will definitely dodge his financial issues." Cao Yi shook his head and said.
"The court entrusts Jingzhou, Yuzhou and other places to him, and I won't say that Yuzhou is rich alone. In particular, Cheng Qun's large number of wealthy families in the four states in the north have moved to Jingzhou, which makes these places rich and rich. Staying in such places and saying they have no money, so that the officials and soldiers in other places will still survive Xie Shilin. If you refuse, ask him, the court will transfer him out of Shu to guard Jingzhou. Is it because he is here to support his old age? If he is a corpse and a bare-headed person, the court will not mind changing people."
