In fact, when it comes to this today, no one thinks that Qin Dewei can be severely punished.
For no other reason, Qin Dewei was really good at making excuses, and he could always find an angle that was both strange and interesting to the emperor.
It's just a gang fight, and there are no serious consequences. If he can be fined for a year, it would be considered a miracle.
And about half of this year's share was due to collusion with the Zhang family.
As for whether there will be demotion, unless Qin Dewei confronts the emperor on the spot.
Therefore, the monarchs and ministers in the palace quickly switched to the fun mode, and it was up to Qin Dewei to make technical quibbles about the group fight.
Qin Dewei found Qiu Luan in the Duke's class and said: "Please ask the Marquis of Xianning to come out and confront..."
Qiu Luan stood up reluctantly. He had already surrendered anyway. How could you, Qin Dewei, still engage in lynching?
Qin Dewei asked in a nonchalant manner: "Marquis Xianning, do you want to lead the expedition to Annan?"
Qiu Luan's face changed slightly. No matter what he was thinking, he immediately denied it and said, "I never meant that!"
Everyone who was about to watch the fun was very surprised. What did Bachelor Qin mean? Why did he suddenly mention Annan here?
Since the end of last year, because of the usurpation of the throne by Annan's powerful minister Mo Dengyong, the court has been discussing whether to carry forward the style of the imperial dynasty and conquer Annan.
This is what is known in history as "Jiajing Dynasty's Conquest of Annan", and it was also a hot topic throughout the sixteenth year of Jiajing.
But Academician Qin has never expressed his opinion on the Annan issue, and no one knows what Academician Qin’s views are.
Then I heard Qin Dewei telling Emperor Jiajing: "Since the end of winter last year, the imperial court has been discussing the affairs of Annan non-stop.
The Marquis of Xianning has just returned to Beijing from Guangdong and Guangxi and is familiar with the situation in southern Xinjiang. If the imperial court makes up its mind to use troops, it is very likely that the Marquis of Xianning will be recommended to go out for the expedition."
In history, Qiu Luan did become the commander-in-chief. Qin Dewei could make a "guess" by simply inferring the cause and effect.
Emperor Jiajing, who had been silent today, suddenly spoke: "So you just want to try Qiu Luan's skills?"
This sudden compliment made Qin Dewei pause for a moment, then he pretended to be a little panicked and stammered:
"Well, anyway, I feel that the Marquis of Xianning is really incompetent and not suitable to be a general.
At first, I didn’t know if Qiu Luan could do it, so I just wanted to test it out, but the result was really not what I expected.”
Emperor Jiajing seemed a little angry and scolded: "Why do you test Qiu Luan? How can military and national affairs be child's play?"
Qin Dewei replied: "I don't mean to take it as a joke. I just see that Qiu Luan is useless from bravery to strategy and organizational skills. He is by no means a good general."
If the organization can't win a group fight, why use troops?
Qiu Luan felt more and more that losing the group fight this time was a huge loss, so he could only kneel down and say: "Your Majesty! What Qin Dewei said is slander and untrue!"
Qin Dewei said, "Marquis Xianning, you don't have to complain, don't say I slandered you for being incompetent.
If you are really capable, you can issue a military order. If you are the general, you can pacify Annan within half a year."
Everyone was speechless. You, Qin Dewei, are too inhumane, right? Why do you want Qiu Luan to issue this military order?
Annan is thousands of miles away, and the troops at the southern border guard today are far less capable than they were in the early years of the dynasty.
Even when Emperor Taizong was Emperor Taizong, the two Annan conquests were settled within a few months, but rebellions continued one after another and could never be truly pacified. It took more than ten years.
So who dares to say that Annan can be pacified in half a year?
But Qiu Luan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Qin Dewei put forward this condition.
The more difficult the conditions, the better, and the more Qin Dewei appears to be unreasonable.
So the Marquis of Xianning quickly continued to pretend to be pitiful and miserable: "Your Majesty! Qin Dewei is really domineering and domineering, forcing others to do things that make things difficult for me, and I can't bear the humiliation!"
Qin Dewei mocked unkindly: "You are weak and you are justified? To eat the emperor's salary is to be loyal to the emperor. Incompetence is the original sin!"
The Marquis of Xianning couldn't bear it anymore and shouted back: "You can do it!"
Emperor Jiajing wanted to hit Qin Dewei with the imperial stick again. These few sentences are really no different from children quarreling and getting angry. What does this mean for the court?
Qin Dewei sensed the danger and quickly shouted: "Your Majesty! Although Qiu Luan does not dare to take responsibility, I do!
As long as I send you to conquer Annan, I will issue a military order, Annan will be pacified within half a year, and Mo Dengyong will come out to surrender!"
Qiu Luan was stunned, is Qin Dewei crazy, or is he crazy?
What about you, Qin Dewei? You just want to escape the punishment of a group fight, and you even dare to brag about it?
Emperor Jiajing hated being fooled by others, and it was possible for him to lose his head.
There was an uproar in the Wenhua Palace, and everyone was once again shocked by Qin Dewei.
Scholar Qin, why can't you just give everyone a good time? Why do you have to seek death?
When a civilian governor goes out on an expedition, he must at least hold the rank of Minister of War. Are you, Qin Dewei, crazy for wanting to be promoted?
Do you want a person who studies as a bachelor of the fifth rank to be directly promoted to the rank of minister of the Ministry of War?
No, there seems to be something wrong? Shouldn’t the first thing to question be “Half Years of Ping An South”?
Why did you forget to doubt whether Bachelor Qin could do it at the beginning?
Emperor Jiajing was sitting on the throne, a little distance from the ministers. He thought he heard wrongly, so he stared at Qin Dewei and asked again: "What did you say?"
Qin Dewei raised his voice, risking the crime of deceiving the emperor, and said loudly: "I would like to ask your majesty to see that I am different from a person like Qiu Luan!
I dare to issue a military order. If I go to Annan, I will have Mo Dengyong surrender within half a year!"
Even the quick-thinking Emperor Jiajing was stunned at this moment.
From the perspective of legal principles and the responsibility of the suzerain state, the Ming Dynasty should take action to suppress the rebellion, but why did some ministers still oppose the conquest of Annan?
The biggest reason is that we are worried that the labor expedition will cause huge losses. If it is delayed for several years, the finances will collapse.
But if it’s certain that it can be done in half a year, then why should there be any hesitation?
No matter how tight the Ming Dynasty's finances were, it would still be no problem to support the military deployment for half a year.
So the biggest question is, can Qin Dewei be trusted?
Military and state affairs are no child's play. Qin Dewei is not even twenty years old at the moment!
The Wenhua Palace was like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves. Only Qin Dewei was calm and stood quietly under the throne.
As long as Emperor Jiajing dares to send him on an expedition, he really dares to go!
In the original history, the Ming Dynasty finally decided to march south.
When he began to gather troops in Guangdong and Guangxi and accumulate food and grass, Mo Dengyong immediately gave up within a few days and hurriedly surrendered, making donations and ceding land.
So in fact, Annan was "pacified" without even sending a single soldier or fighting a single battle.
Why didn't Qin Dewei dare to go to such a "Southern Expedition"? Why didn't he dare to make harsh words and issue a military order?
This was simply the best military achievement of the Jiajing Dynasty, but it was a bit harder to travel because it was too far away from the capital.
By the way, the background of "My husband and I took off my shirt" that was circulated on the Internet in later generations was this Southern Expedition.
"No! This must never be done!" Suddenly someone objected.
Qin Dewei glanced and saw that it was Yan Song, the Minister of Rites.
