On the second day of the Xiaochao meeting, after learning of the rebellion of the Miao people in Huguang, Nanhe Hou Fangying took the initiative to stand up, saying that he had neglected his duty, and asked your majesty to allow him to perform meritorious service and lead the elite of the Ming Dynasty to suppress the rebellion. He was also willing to issue a military order to ensure that Huguang was free from violence within half a year.
Chaos.
Zhu Qiyu looked at Yu Qian.
The troops and horses are dispatched. As the emperor, it depends on Yu Qian's face.
Yu Qian was silent for a while, and said that it would be best for Marquis Fang to go, but since the Marquis of Funing, Zhu Yong, was there, there would be no danger for the time being. It would be better to wait to find out the details of the rebellion, and then decide how many people to send to quell the rebellion.
Zhu Jianji said, "Wildfire can start a prairie fire. I think this matter should be cut off quickly. Also, Fu Ninghou is young and has less military experience. It is better to send important generals to quell the rebellion as soon as possible."
Zhu Qiyu quickly supported his son, "I think so."
Yu Qian was helpless.
Although His Majesty has expressed his stance to suppress the military generals, the rebellion cannot be taken lightly, saying: "The regiment camp can mobilize 30,000 troops, with Marquis Fang as the chief military officer, and the governor Huang Shi as the deputy chief military officer, and the local guards will be mobilized to cooperate.
Defeat the remnants of the Miao rebellion."
Zhu Qiyu added: "Sheng Lin, the young eunuch of the Internal Affairs Bureau, is appointed as the military governor."
Fang Ying was overjoyed, "Wei Chen accepts the order!"
Three days later, Fang Ying left the capital with an army of 30,000 men. An urgent military report came from the Xuanfu. Dulbert's cavalry knocked at the pass. The Jurchen soldiers and horses moved. They were eyeing the city and requested the imperial court to send troops.
Strengthen border defense.
There was a discussion at the court, and finally Yu Qian made a decision, with Tang Xing as the chief military officer, Chen You as the deputy chief military officer, and Liu Jue, the left minister of the Ministry of War, supervising the army. He would lead the 50,000 regiment camp northward to strengthen the border garrison.
This operation of the Mobei Yi people is normal.
Because it is mid-autumn and winter is about to begin, it is the best time for prairie cavalry to enter the border and rob.
The prairie cavalry robbed and retreated, and your Ming army gave chase...
Oh, it's snowing.
Yes, the class teacher returns to the court.
A few days later, Tang Xing and Chen Yougang led their troops to Xuanfu. Military reports came from the southwest, saying that there was another rebellion in Sichuan - in the Ming Dynasty, as long as there is a local rebellion, the people of Sichuan will definitely help you fight it.
Here comes the problem.
Yu Qian took a look and saw that it was such a coincidence. Troops were needed everywhere, and the local guards were clamoring for reinforcements. But if the regiments and battalions were sent out again, the capital would be empty.
Okay, let's dispatch the twenty-six guards of the pro-army army.
Zhu Qiyu hesitated for a long time before agreeing to let the Ministry of War mobilize 26 pro-military guards out of Beijing, and the local guards would cooperate with them to put down the rebellion in Sichuan.
The four guards of Tengxiang and Wuxiang did not move.
Yu Qian also knew that it was impossible to transfer these five guards to suppress the rebellion, and His Majesty would lose his sense of security.
Who takes charge is a question.
Yu Qian then proposed that Tongzhi Hangyu, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Army Governor's Office, Liang Yue, the Marquis of Baoding, be appointed as the deputy chief military officer, and He Jian, the right minister of the Ministry of War, would supervise the army and lead the 26 guards to put down the rebellion in Sichuan.
Your Majesty should rest assured that your two father-in-laws will serve as general military officers to quell the rebellion in Sichuan and support Zhenbei. However, Yu Qian still had more selfish motives and asked the Minister of War to supervise the army.
Zhu Qiyu has no objection.
Knowing that Yu Qian improved the role of civil servants in the war.
No problem.
You, Yu Qian, are the Minister of War. You have the final say. Of course, you are also responsible for anything that happens.
How to know.
After Tang Xing and Chen You led their troops to attack, they actually divided their troops to garrison Datong and Xuanfu. Tang Xing even led most of his troops out of Xuanfu to attack Yumuchuan. Chen You then sent troops from Datong to support.
As a result, the Tang Xing tribe encountered an ambush by the Dulbert tribe's cavalry in Yumuchuan. Due to the delay in the arrival of reinforcements, the entire army was wiped out. Tang Xing and the left minister of the Ministry of War, Liu Jue, died for their country!
Chen You immediately retreated to Datong.
If Chen You cannot defend Datong, and the Xuanfu side does not have enough troops to stop Dulbert's cavalry, the capital city will face the front line, and then another Wala invades from the south.
Seeing Dulbert's cavalry approaching Datong, Chen Ruyan, a doctor in the Ministry of War, came up with a plan to increase the number of troops.
However, there are no troops left in Gyeonggi.
There are only four guards of Tengxiang and Wuxiang.
Zhu Qiyu firmly opposed the transfer of troops from the capital to the north, and believed that the coastal defense forces should be transferred to Japan.
At the critical moment, Yu Qian stood up and said that troops from Huailai and other surrounding local guards would be stationed in Datong and Xuanfu. As long as they held on for a while and waited for Fang Ying and Hang Yu to put down the rebellion, they could rush to the north to help.
Zhu Qiyu agreed with this move.
After the imperial meeting, Zhu Qiyu left Yu Qian behind and went to the Qianqing Hall to discuss matters.
In the Qianqing Palace, there were only two fathers and sons, Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian.
Zhu Qiyu looked at Yu Qian expressionlessly and said: "Shaobao, Huguang quelled the rebellion, Datong Xuanfu defended the north, and Sichuan suppressed the rebellion, all were decided by the Ministry of War. The success or failure of the Ming Dynasty all depends on you. Have you ever thought about what might happen? Lose?"
Yu Qian was silent.
When His Majesty asked this question, he realized something was wrong.
Although Tang Xing was a relative with average abilities, he still had a large number of troops, and there were local guards in and around Yumuchuan, and Dulbert's tribe was not as powerful as before, so it should not have been defeated so quickly.
Chen You is to blame for his slow support.
But His Majesty did not hold anyone accountable.
This is very weird.
In the current situation, Yu Qian had an illusion that it was His Majesty who was planning to regain military power, and those generals were cooperating with His Majesty - as long as there was a war, the generals would be able to hold the military power.
It should be noted that His Majesty did not express any position on these three deployments of troops, and they were all arranged by the Ministry of War.
In other words, if all three battlefields are defeated.
As the Minister of War, I cannot absolve myself from the blame.
will be questioned.
Zhu Jianji said at the right moment: "Yu Shaobao, when Shi Heng was in turmoil, you just watched from the sidelines. I would like to ask, if there is another Shi Heng, will you still be disloyal to His Majesty?"
To sit back and watch is already disloyal.
Yu Qian was surprised.
He didn't expect that His Highness the Crown Prince would be so straightforward.
After thinking for a while, he asked: "Now that we have learned from the past, who else dares to cause chaos?"
Zhu Jianji sneered.
Yu Qian suddenly realized, "Chen You and the others?"
Chen You has never been ennobled and has complaints against His Majesty. He does have reasons to support the Emperor's restoration.
Then he shook his head and said, "They are leading troops outside, how can they cause chaos?"
Lead the border troops to fight back to Gyeonggi?
It is simply impossible. Those who went to Zhenbei were all regiments, and the soldiers were all raised by themselves. It was impossible to rebel in such a treacherous way, and to fight back from the northern border, guarding the posts along the way——
Wait, all the troops from Xuanfu and surrounding garrison stations have been transferred to Datong!
Now the fight back to Gyeonggi from Datong is basically smooth!
However, there are still four guards of Tengxiang and Wuxiang in the capital. If Chen You returns to the capital, His Majesty can urgently mobilize the Jinyi Guards and order Liang Yue and King Fang Yingqin.
Yu Qian calmed down.
Zhu Jianji sighed, Yu Shaobao gave you the last chance, but you didn't cherish it.
no solution anymore.
The Great Wall of Ming Dynasty is like this.
Your loyalty protected Ming Dynasty, but it also harmed yourself.
He smiled and said, "It's okay. Now the war on the third front is going on and the Ministry of War is very busy. Please ask Yu Shaobao for your hard work."
Anyway, we, father and son, will not interfere with the third-line military affairs.
In the event of a disastrous defeat, the Ministry of War will be responsible.
Yu Qian left the Qianqing Palace worriedly, wondering all the way as to whether His Majesty's operation was really for military power.
So the Ming Dynasty elite from the Tang Xing tribe were sacrificed?
Not so much...
After Yi Qian left, Zhu Qiyu immediately asked Xing'an, "Has there been any news from outside the customs?"
Xing'an said: "Not yet."
Zhu Jianji chuckled, "Old Zhu, why are you panicking? Let the bullets fly for a while!" This chapter has been completed!
