It seems that Shen Yuanfu's words "won my heart", as evidenced by Zhu Yijun's nodding.
However, Gao Pragmatic suddenly became confused and quietly took a look at Shen Shixing. Unfortunately, Shen Shixing was also a veteran actor for many years. His face was calm, but there seemed to be some worry between his eyebrows, as if he was worried about the situation in the northwest.
snort.
Gao Pingshi snorted in his heart. He didn't believe that Shen Shixing's words were just to flatter someone Gao, but it seemed that for the time being, he couldn't observe anything from his expression and could only analyze it himself.
Shen Shixing did not want to get involved in the affairs of the northwest, which was completely understandable by Gao Pragmatic. After all, that was the sphere of influence of the Real School, and the matter was in the hands of Gao Guangxian. As long as this mess is still there one day, it belongs to the Real School.
Responsibility, Shen Yuanfu has nothing to do with this mess, so what does he have to worry about?
Even if he wants to take the credit, this is not the time to do it. Unless he is willing to transfer all the 40,000 servants of the Tieling Li family to the northwest as the main backbone and let Li Rusong forcibly regain the northwest, otherwise the Xin School will not be able to take the credit. However, the Tieling Li family seems to have
He had taken refuge in the Heart School, but in fact, due to the situation, the Li family's status was quite special, and it was unlikely that Shen Shixing would force Li Chengliang to risk his fortune to help him seize chestnuts from the fire.
Would Li Chengliang himself be willing to go to the northwest? Impossible. Would he be willing to lose 40,000 housekeeping capital to the northwest? Impossible.
When the Kuaibai Rebellion occurred in history, the situation in the northwest was much simpler than it is now, but Li Chengliang also refused to go despite all obstacles. Only Li Rusong, a young marshal of the Li family who did not have enough military exploits, accepted the imperial edict without saying a word.
He took his five thousand servants with him and went to quell the rebellion.
Li Chengliang is Li Chengliang, and Li Rusong is Li Rusong. The difference in habits between father and son is really quite big. Li Rusong is ten times more upright than his father.
It's just that in the current situation in the northwest, although Li Rusong's five thousand servants are strong, they are definitely not enough. There is no need for Shen Shixing to cause him to waste his strength in vain.
But even so, it seems that Shen Shixing shouldn't have said what he just said, because if it didn't include the sentence "It's just that Gao Jinglue has other important matters and is too busy to go to Ningxia," it would be equivalent to saying
It is recommended that Gao Pragmatic take command and go to the northwest.
This is very abnormal.
Although the current situation in Ningxia is bad, not only is the town of Ningxia reduced to only Pinglu City, but also there are Huoluochi and Jilitu Brothers in the west, and Mongolian Jinong Boshuoketu in the east. Even children can see this.
There must be a secret alliance between these three parties, and it will not be easy for the imperial court to pacify the northwest.
But this is not easy and it depends on who it is. If Gao Pragmatic takes charge personally, with his prestige in Jiubian and his special status within the Shi School, he can firmly control the power of the imperial court in the northwest. His success
The chance of counterinsurgency is much greater than that of others.
From Gao Pangshi's point of view, Shen Shixing definitely didn't want to see the Shi School easily put down this chaos, so he had no reason to recommend himself to take command of the three sides. Therefore, what he just said cannot be explained.
"Seeking truth?" Zhu Yijun suddenly called him.
"Huh?" Gao Pangshi came to his senses and said, "I'm here."
Zhu Yijun just thought he was thinking about the situation in Ningxia and didn't think much about it. He just asked: "What Mr. Shen just said makes sense. In fact, you are the best person to deal with the chaos in the northwest. But as Mr. Shen said, you have another choice now."
I have important things to do, but I don’t know how to deal with them... Well, I want to ask you, if you are asked to pacify the northwest, will Tumen still be able to control it?"
Gao pragmatic frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said cautiously: "It's hard to say."
He paused for a moment and explained: "To a certain extent, it can be said that Burihatu's plan has succeeded in causing such a big disturbance in the northwest. At this moment, if I are not on the front line of Jiliao, there is no guarantee that
Tumen will not take advantage of the opportunity."
Zhu Yijun frowned and said, "What if King Shunyi doesn't move? Will Tumen still march westward?"
"It may not be possible." Gao pragmatic knew Zhu Yijun's thoughts and sighed: "A few years have passed, and I don't know if Tuotuo is still as capable as he was in previous years? Your Majesty, the strength of Tumote's troops
Although strong, some famous generals seem to be declining in recent years. Tuotuo is getting older year by year, and he is seriously ill and is about to die. Although King Shunyi himself has been trained in the Battle of Monan, he has never personally commanded a large-scale battle... Minister
We are worried that Tumen, with the help of Burihatu, may have some clever plan to defeat Tumote, and this is something that I, the Ming Dynasty, will never accept."
Zhu Yijun was very troubled when he heard this and sighed: "But it would be annoying to restrict you here and not be able to move."
When he said this, Gao Pragmatic couldn't help but said: "I am sitting on the Ji Liao front line, and my role is to control the scale of the war, lay a solid foundation for the Ming Dynasty to open the vassal ban, and delay time. Now that the chaos in the northwest has begun, to some extent
It disrupted our plan. For the present plan, the northwest must not only be pacified, but also be quickly..."
"That's why I thought of letting you go." Zhu Yijun said helplessly: "You may not be the only one who can pacify the northwest, but when it comes to hurrying up, I don't think anyone has more hope than you."
This is really a dilemma.
Zhu Yijun now felt that in comparison, Wei Xuezeng was really a good choice second only to Gao Pragmatism. At least his prestige in the Pragmatic School was high enough to be able to control the situation in the northwest.
But at this moment, Shen Shixing spoke abruptly: "If your Majesty wants to hurry up, I think Gao Jinglue might actually be able to do something about this matter."
Zhu Yijun was stunned and asked: "What do you mean by Mr. Shen's words?"
Shen Shixing said: "Wei Xuezeng was far away in Nanjing. From the time when the decree to transfer the governor of the three sides was issued to when he rushed to Guyuan to take office, he could not stop for a month. During this period, the governors of the three sides were still vacant. This was very important for the northwest
The pacification of the chaos will have a great impact. In this case, why not let Gao Jinglue temporarily take charge of the military affairs of the three sides?
Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, it may be difficult for Shaanxi Province to quell the chaos quickly with the strength of the three sides of Shaanxi alone. If the imperial court wants to send reinforcements, it can only dispatch them from the nearest three towns of Xuanda for the time being. Gao Jinglue is in charge of seven towns.
, Xuan Da San Town is also under his management, and it is also his responsibility to mobilize reinforcements. Therefore, I thought that it would be better to use Gao Jinluo to supervise the reinforcements and take charge of the northwest military affairs before Wei Xuezeng took office to see if it can be pacified quickly
...Even if it doesn't work, it will certainly be able to lay a more solid foundation for Wei Xuezeng to fight the rebellion."
This proposal was quite creative, and Zhu Yijun was really moved, but when he thought about Tumen's side, he still hesitated, and asked: "What if Tumen's side is moved..."
Shen Shixing said: "From a time perspective, I'm afraid Tumen won't be able to move within a month, because Burihatu can't go directly through the Tumote territory back to Chahanhot. He has to take a detour to Mobei, which will take a long time."
He was delayed. And even if he rushes back to Chahanhot a month later, it will still take some time to prepare to send troops. If Gao Jinglue continues to be like the battle of Monan, the northwest may not have been pacified by this time."
Gao Pingshi secretly cursed in his heart: You really think highly of me! Although the battle in Monan was fought very quickly, it was because of preparations in advance, and the battlefield was actually relatively close, but the battle in Ningxia was far away.
Times, how can it be played so fast?
But thinking about it, Shen Shixing's words are not completely unreasonable. At least Wei Xuezeng couldn't have gone from Nanjing to Guyuan to take office so quickly. This period of time cannot be wasted for no reason, giving Kuai Bai a chance to stabilize Ningxia. Thinking about it this way,
Being highly pragmatic is not easy to shirk again.
Seeing Gao Jingshi, Zhu Yijun didn't say anything, but he became more interested. He thought about it and said: "Mr. Shen is an old man who seeks the country, and his words are very reasonable. Jingjing, how about you take this opportunity to lead Shanxi reinforcements to Ningxia?"
Gao Pragmatic looked troubled and frowned: "If it only takes more than a month, you can go, but this time may not be enough to reach the northwest."
Zhu Yijun waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, you can go if you want. I expect that Huo Luochi and others may be timid when they hear that you are going in person. Even if there is indeed insufficient time, they can still give Wei Xuezeng as Mr. Shen said
By laying a good foundation, at least the situation around Ningxia will not continue to deteriorate."
The emperor had said so, so of course Gao Pragmatic couldn't push back any further, so he could only nod his head and said: "In that case, I am willing to go to Ningxia."
Zhu Yijun was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Okay, then the matter is settled. Tomorrow there will be an imperial edict ordering you to supervise the reinforcements and control the military affairs in the northwest until Wei Xuezeng takes office. Well... you are going to Ningxia, do you have any other requirements?
No?"
Gao pragmatic thought for a while and said: "I need to mobilize the full power of the troops in the third town of Xuanda."
Zhu Yijun was startled at first, then smiled and said: "You are the manager of the Seven Towns. You already have the full power in your hands. Why do you need to ask me for it again?"
What are you talking about? My seven-town manager is just in name. You see, in addition to asking them to submit reports, I only ordered them to conduct a big exercise. The purpose was just to shock the people and do a "fundamental investigation" by the way.
, when did you really dare to mobilize these 850,000 troops at will?
However, since the emperor said so, Gao Pragmatic didn't say much. He just nodded and said: "In that case, I have no other requests."
Zhu Yijun suddenly smiled: "Is it really gone?"
Gao Pragmatic was startled: "Your Majesty's words...I don't quite understand."
Zhu Yijun laughed: "You send troops for free? Or are you planning to empty Shanxi's treasury?"
Not to mention, Gao Pragmatic originally planned to move the local treasury, but after Zhu Yijun asked him, he couldn't say it. He could only smile and said: "Of course money has to be spent."
Zhu Yijun then said: "I can give you 200,000 taels of internal funds first. As for military rations and so on, you can go through the treasury yourself. It doesn't matter if it's in Shanxi or Shaanxi. It's up to you."
This power is not small. Gao Pragmatic quickly thanked him and then said: "I just remembered something. Zhang Weizhong, the commander-in-chief of Ningxia, committed suicide and died for his country. Both the chief and deputy commander-in-chief are vacant..."
Zhu Yijun said: "Are you going to transfer a general to Ningxia's general army?"
Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "Otherwise, I will recommend someone else."
Zhu Yijun smiled when he heard this and said: "But what about Xiao Ruxun from Pinglu City?"
Gao Pingshi also smiled and said: "Exactly. This person guarded the Pinglu, Ningxia fell but the Pinglu were not lost, which made Kuaibai unable to rest assured and went around plundering the land. It is true that he is a brave general and must be reused."
"Of course you have to use it." Zhu Yijun frowned slightly: "But isn't it a bit hasty to promote him directly from the staff general to the commander-in-chief? Otherwise, make him the deputy commander-in-chief first, and wait until he has made special achievements under your command.
What do you think about rewarding him with the rank of chief military officer?"
Gao pragmatic thought for a while, nodded and said: "It's okay, but in this case, the chief military officer is still short of personnel..."
Zhu Yijun wanted to say that he would leave it for now. Anyway, the Ningxia General Soldier was reserved for Xiao Ruxun, so why rush to arrange it?
Unexpectedly, Shen Shixing suddenly interjected at this moment, cupped his hands and said: "I think that the post of Ningxia Commander-in-Chief may be transferred to Shanxi Commander-in-Chief Li Rusong."
Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment and looked at Gao Jingshi. Gao Jingshi was also a little confused and pondered without answering immediately.
Shen Shixing said calmly: "The northwest is also a place where cavalry roams. Li Rusong has five thousand elite cavalry at his command, which is suitable for this battle. Moreover, Li Rusong is in his prime, and he had killed enemy chieftains in the Monan battle before, which shows his bravery.
.With him as the commander-in-chief of Ningxia, he is unlikely to be able to perform extraordinary feats again... Gao Jinglue has always known people well and assigned them well. I wonder what you think of my recommendation?"
Gao Pangshi had roughly guessed what Shen Shixing was thinking at this time, but he still smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Yuan Fu's recommendation is very reasonable, and the students also agree with it."
Zhu Yijun was quite happy to see that they both had similar views on heroes, and said with a smile: "I have also seen Li Rusong. He is tall and heroic. He is indeed a strong general. He must be more than enough to be the commander-in-chief of Ningxia. Just
That’s settled.”
Shen Shixing and Gao Pragmatic both bowed their hands, and then Shen Shixing said, "There is one more thing that must be decided by the emperor."
Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "Mr. Shen, please speak."
Shen Shixing said: "The changes in Ningxia have occurred suddenly. Although Gao Guangxian, the governor of the three sides, must be at fault, judging from the current situation, I am afraid there is someone else who is most responsible..."
Zhu Yijun frowned and said slowly: "Mr. Shen, are you talking about Liang Wenmeng, the governor of Ningxia?"
Shen Shixing glanced at Gao Pragmatic as if nothing had happened, and said calmly: "Exactly. Your Majesty, Kuai Bai contacted hundreds of generals in advance. How could such a serious situation go smoothly if Liang Wenmeng was not slow and arrogant?"
Zhu Yijun frowned slightly, glanced at Gao Pingshi, and asked, "What do you think of Qiuzhen?"
This is not easy to answer. From Shen Shixing's entry point just now, we know that he is very careful about this matter. Generally speaking, Liang Wenmeng's biggest trouble now is that as a governor, he was arrested by Kuaibai.
, this is very passive for the imperial court. Normally, Shen Shixing should use the reason of avoiding being passive to propose changing the governor.
But if this is the case, Gao Pragmatic still has something to say. For example, although Liang Wenmeng is in the enemy's hands, he has not spoken for Kuaibai so far, which shows that he has not surrendered. This means that although he may have acted improperly, his other
It's all right, so there's no need to rush to dismiss him at this time. It's not too late to make a decision after finding out later.
But Shen Shixing didn't start from here at all, but directly questioned his ability: You know nothing about such a big movement, how do you, the governor, do it? Or maybe you don't know nothing, but you do
If you don't take it to heart, it also shows that you are arrogant and have no ambitions, so that you caused such a big trouble. How can you have the nerve to continue to be the governor?
Gao Ping said sincerely: This time it is a loss. The position of governor of the three sides is still in his hands, but the governor of Ningxia... It seems that Shen Yuanfu is determined to win.
Forget it, someone has to be responsible for such a big mess this time...
Gao Jingshi had no choice but to hand over his hand and said: "As Yuan Fu said, although Liang Wenmeng seems to be in good hands at the moment, this matter can be considered to have started because of him. If the court does not belittle him now, it may be difficult to convince the public."
