Jinyi champion

Liu Chun didn't expect that Sun Jiao would put a high hat on him.

He was actually very puzzled, why did Sun Jiao confirm that he could join the cabinet early in the morning?Now that he really joined the cabinet, and have such high expectations for him?

Could it be that Sun Jiao, a wise and safe person, doesn't know the current situation in court?
The cabinet ministers are sandwiched between the new emperor and Yang Tinghe, is that a good difference?If the life of the cabinet ministers is easy, why is Fei Hong in such a difficult situation in the court?

A series of questions circled in my mind.

Liu Chun had tried in front of Sun Jiao before, but unfortunately he didn't get an answer, so he didn't ask any more questions this time.

The next day.

Liu Chun entered the court as usual, and as a bachelor in charge of the Imperial Academy, he made the last report on the compilation of "Records of Emperor Wu Zong" by the Imperial Academy, and then accepted a new job. After becoming a cabinet minister, he will be directly listed in the second row on the left in the court meeting, and Yang Tinghe is directly in front of him.

Regarding the matter of Liu Chun's entry into the cabinet, Zhu Si was active at the beginning, but calmed down afterward.

At least in the eyes of civil and military officials, the emperor was expressionless, obviously depressed because he failed to meet his psychological expectations.

Some people also speculate that the purpose of Zhu Si's recommendation of Liu Chun is to make room for Yang Yiqing, but now that everything has been settled, and Yang Yiqing's return to the court has not yet been settled, it seems that the arrangement of five cabinet ministers can last at least until the end of the year. The structural issue should no longer become a hot spot in court in a short time.

Then came the report on the Northwest Military Intelligence.

Li Kun, the right servant of the Ministry of War, came forward to report and informed all the officials participating in the meeting about the movements of the Tatars, but he rarely mentioned the deployment of the Ming army. This was also to prevent some important military information from leaking.

Li Kun's report is mainly reflected in two points, that is, the main attack direction of the Tatars, from the original Baiyangkou, Piantouguan, etc., has begun to move to the east, that is, starting from Xuanfu and Zhangjiakou. offensive.

The Tatar cavalry who entered the outer pass and harassed between the outer pass and the inner pass still used the destroyed Baiyangkou as the main passage. At present, among the Beiguan passes, only Baiyangkou was actually lost and destroyed. Although a major crisis occurred in the local area, there were basically no major problems after the see-saw.

".The Tripartite Commander-in-Chief, please move the Xuanda Commander-in-Chief to the Xuanfu as soon as possible."

Li Kun finally made a conclusion.

Because the main attack direction of the Tatars has now become Zhangjiakou, north of Xuanfu. Although this is the most heavily guarded place on the ground in Xuanda, it can mobilize more than [-] troops, and there are a large number of reserve troops, but because the governor of Xuanda The government of the Qing Dynasty became Datong, so that the Xuanfu lacked a coach who could give orders.

Except for Governor Xuanda, the ranks of the others are obviously too low. When encountering a major military situation, even officials at the governor level have no right to order to go out to fight.

After Zhu Si finished listening to the report, he asked the people present: "My dear family, what's your opinion?"

When the emperor asked a simple question, he handed over the power of making suggestions to the ministers present.

Yang Tinghe came out and said: "Your Majesty, these matters involve military aircraft, and should be discussed by the Ministry of War. Your Majesty will approve it after the request. It is not suitable for public discussion."

What he meant was that the military situation was urgent, and matters discussed by the court were easy to leak, so it should be kept secret.

The news that Governor General Xuan Da's office will be moved back to Xuan Mansion does not look good, but if the Tatars know about it, it will be very lively. The Tatars will definitely send more cavalry from Baiyangkou into the territory of Ming Dynasty, specially Staring at Governor Xuanda's team moving to Xuanfu to sneak attack.

As long as it can be done, the Xuanda ground will be completely chaotic.But that's just ideal.

Xuanda's military situation is different from the three sides. It is not too far away from the capital. Generally, when there is a major military situation, it can be conveyed to the capital within two or three days. It is not easy for the Tatars to capture those fortresses.

But no matter what, Yang Tinghe still felt that the matter was of great importance and should not be handed over to the court for approval.

Zhu Sidao: "I know that Yang Ge is always worried, but I also think of the concerns of the generals in the Northwest. Now the war is still in a stalemate.

In Datong, relocation during wartime is easy for the Tatars to take advantage of, so I think it is appropriate for Tang Yin, the governor of the three internal gates, to regulate the military affairs of the Xuanfu. "

As soon as this remark came out, the pot was instantly fried in the presence.

Good guy.

The emperor is really outspoken, what does he say when he thinks of it?Why don't you just say, let Tang Yin replace Chen Jiuchou as Governor-General of Xuanda?
Even Sun Jiao, who is inclined to the new emperor's faction, is muttering to himself, this statement is too explicit, Your Majesty, we must be more reserved and not take it for granted.

Yang Tinghe didn't even bother to refute this kind of remarks. It is reasonable to say that the little emperor is not a fool, how could he make such a low-level mistake?

Use a governor temporarily set up in the inner three gates to regulate the troops of the Xuanfu?Can the military affairs of the Ming Dynasty be so absurd to the point of child's play?
Zhu Si looked at his own words, and there was no one who responded. His eyes swept over the people present, and suddenly fell on Liu Chun, who had just joined the cabinet today.

Zhu Sidao: "Old Liu Ge, today is the day you join the cabinet, I would like to ask what your opinion is on this matter?"

Liu Chun instantly became the target of public criticism.This made him extremely difficult.

I complained endlessly in my heart, saying that this cabinet job is not easy to do. It turns out that His Majesty recommended me to join the cabinet just to let me depend on him at a critical moment?
If I really agree with this point of view, then am I going to be scolded by my colleagues?Liu Chun walked out of the courtier's class with a look of embarrassment on his face, but fortunately his voice was quite steady, without any hesitation. At this time, he even pretended to be confident.

You can't be looked down upon the first day you join the cabinet, can you?
Liu Chundao: "Returning to Your Majesty, I believe that there is no precedent for regulating Xuanfu's military affairs with the governors of the three internal gates, and it is not advisable."

Don't talk about anything else, let's talk about whether there are any examples in the predecessors. Liu Chun's words are actually very considerate of the new emperor.

But Zhu Si suddenly laughed: "That means that the court cannot do anything that has no precedent before? The Tatars broke through Baiyangkou, sent cavalry to harass Neiguan and other places, and gathered troops to prepare Is there any precedent for attacking the Xuan Mansion?"

"what?"

The officials present were in an uproar again.

Even Yang Tinghe felt a pressure.

The little emperor really dared to say anything.

It is clear that the fact that the Tatars assembled their troops to attack the Xuanfu is still a secret, so why did they say it openly in the court so that everyone would know about it?

Doesn't this make the ruling and wild people panic?
Zhu Si continued: "The military situation in the Xuanfu is urgent, but because the new governor of Xuanda is from the governor of Shaanxi, he is afraid that he will not be tolerated in the military and political system of Xuanda, so he wants to move the government to Datong Town. Now Xuanfu Town has become a Tatar The main direction of attack is not even in the administration. The situation is so critical that I have no choice but to ask Tang Yin to adjust the military affairs of the Xuanfu. Do we have to wait for Zhangjiakou and Xuanfu to fall and Xuanda’s elite to be lost before the court makes adjustments? Can the inner three gates be defended at that time?"

The question is very acute.

The little emperor suddenly changed from a dormant sheep to a ferocious hungry wolf.

Yang Tinghe and the others took a long breath.

Recently, the little emperor has been very forbearing about military affairs in the Northwest. Speaking of which, it has been a long time since they had a good debate or quarrel with the emperor. From this point of view, the little emperor has been patient, and now he finally broke out.

Then we civil servants, especially the top civil servants, who gather around the chief minister of the cabinet, should also cheer up and prepare for a serious discussion.

But just when someone was about to come out to speak, Zhu Si spoke again.

"Of course, if you feel that the Xuan Mansion's military situation is not worth mentioning, then just pretend that I didn't say what I said before, and simply move the Xuan Da General Mansion back to Xuanfu Town. If I knew this, why bother?"

Immediately, Zhu Si shook his head with disdain.

Although Zhu Si was a little emotional earlier, the minister felt that the emperor was a bit unreliable.

But the last words actually spoke to the hearts of some people.

Thinking carefully about the changes in Xuanda's military situation in the past six months or so, in fact, one of the biggest characteristics is "tossing".

Well removed Zang

What is Feng doing?
After Zang Feng was withdrawn, Chen Jiuchou had to be replaced by Chen Jiuchou, who came from three sides, so that Chen Jiuchou did not dare to set up the government in the Xuanfu where the remnants of the previous dynasty gathered.

Now that the Tatars are mainly attacking the front line of Xuanfu, there will be a big problem immediately. The governor of Xuanda is not in Xuanfu, and Xuanfu Town is very close to the capital, and there is only Juyongguan between the capital and the capital. If it was breached by the Tatars, or the Tatars just rushed in through some small passes, what would happen to the defenders everywhere?
How can this battle be sustained?
Some people think that the new emperor has the foresight.

Knowing that there are conflicts between officials and generals in the Xuanfu, they urgently dispatched the governors of the three inner gates. At least in the event of an accident in the outer gates, the inner three gates can stand up and at least wait for the reinforcements from the three sides, so Tang Yin It is really necessary to lead the troops to the front line.

Let alone what military achievements Tang Yin can achieve by relying on the three inner passes, as long as there is such a backbone, the three armies can be united and the Tatars can't attack the inner pass.

If the inner three gates cannot be guarded, the Tatars will directly kill the capital!

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's go back to the original question. Do you really have nothing to say about the location of Governor Xuan's residence? Do you have to wait for the city of Xuanfu to be destroyed and hundreds of thousands of troops to be buried in the hands of the Tatars?" Do you feel that the situation is urgent if the military report is delivered to me?"

Zhu Si finally threw the problem to everyone present.At this time, no one dared to do this.

Yang Tinghe walked out without hesitation: "Your Majesty, Xuanda's military affairs should be taken under the Xuanda General System, and no one else can interfere. Now that Xuanfu Town has elite soldiers and strong generals, nothing will go wrong. If something goes wrong... everyone They are all duty-bound.

"There is nothing wrong with setting the general's office in Datong. It is now the end of autumn and the beginning of winter. I believe that in a month or so, the Tatars will retreat without a fight. Your Majesty, please stay calm and wait in the northwest. Just as soon as the good news arrives!"
