Great Ming Dynasty Wen Chao Gong

Chapter 18 Ningxia Zhenkuai worships

Zhang Xiao flipped through the pile of memorials, most of which were about routine work related to money, food, and disaster relief. Until Zhang Xiao saw a memorial reporting the civil and military differences in Ningxia Town. Zhang Xiao opened it out of curiosity, and immediately saw the familiar name, and said goodbye.

Isn't this the first of Wanli's three major expeditions, but it is not so much a conquest as a suppression of mutiny. Kuaibai is not a vassal or a chieftain. Although he is from the Wulianghai tribe of Mongolia, he is a serious official in the court. Both the father and son, who are military officers, are the deputy commander-in-chief of Ningxia, and they are the most powerful people in Ningxia Town.

The memorial said that because father and son Kuaibaai Chengen participated in the Battle of Hetao and attacked the Huoluo Chi tribe, they were blocked by Dang Xin, the governor of Ningxia. They were not able to achieve military merit and had a conflict with Dang Xin. Please ask the court to make a decision as soon as possible.

Zhang Xiao then turned to the next letter. Good guy, this is the impeachment memorial written by Dang Xin. He impeached Kuaibai and his son for being lawless, receiving pay from the air force, taking credit for themselves, relying on soldiers to respect themselves, and disobeying the orders of the superiors. The court should severely punish them. He is already punishing Ningxia Town for taking bribes and taking bribes.

Good guy, really good guy. Zhang Xiao sighed secretly in his heart. If this Dang Xin had been born hundreds of years earlier in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, he would have been hacked to death by the rebels and his whole family long ago, and he still wouldn't have had to wait until now.

Zhang Xiao pulled out these two memorials, then quickly flipped through the later ones and found that there was nothing particularly important, so he put them all back together.

"Your Majesty, these two memorials are the most important." Zhang Xiao said.

The emperor took the memorial handed over by Chen Ju and rolled his eyes: "I have read these two memorials before. Discord between civil and military officials is a taboo in politics. The cabinet did not dare to make a decision, so they sent it directly. Zhang Xiao, what do you think?"

Zhang Xiao's heart skipped a beat. The cabinet didn't even come up with an opinion. It seemed like everyone knew that this was not something to join in the fun. But since I had already raised my head, I had no choice but to do it hard. At least I had read the spoilers. Zhang Xiao quickly went over the examples from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, and then considered the words.

"Your Majesty, Ai Baijiu has been in Ningxia for a long time and has great prestige. There is no one who can speak well in the court, so there are many twists and turns. Now if Dang Xin continues to do this, regardless of whether it is right or wrong, the army will be unstable." Zhang Xiao said.

"Then according to your opinion, should Kuai Bai be dealt with or transferred?" the emperor asked.

"That's a matter later. The most important thing now is to quickly stop Dang Xin's investigation and punishment of illegal pay, and even transfer him. The imperial court must quickly send out civil and military officials to stabilize Ningxia Town, and stabilize the father and son of Kuai Bai. The family army, otherwise something big is likely to happen." Zhang Xiao said.

"Zhang Xiao, you have to think clearly, you are already criticizing a high official in the imperial court." The emperor's voice suddenly turned cold.

"Of course I know, it's just that the arrow was on the string and had to be fired." Zhang Xiao quickly lowered his head to apologize.

"Has it reached this point?" the emperor murmured. Zhang Xiao still lowered his head and did not dare to be arrogant. Although he knew the direction of history, who knew what deviations might occur at the moment. Although this emperor did not kill so many officials like his ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang, he was not a A nice boss to deal with.

"Get up. Although I dare not compare myself to Yao and Shun, I am not as good as Jie and Zhou. Since you brought up this matter, how can we calm down this trouble in Ningxia Town? What kind of regulations should the court have and what kind of people should be sent? Go." The emperor said.

Zhang Xiao stood up, calmed down his emotions, and said: "Your Majesty, the point of no return has not yet been reached. You can ask Dang Xin to stop the investigation first, and then send a favor and salary to Ningxia Town to select the best among them. , stationed in Liaodong to guard against Japanese pirates. If the Japanese pirates do not come, it can also deter the Mongolian and Jurchen tribes. Civil and military forces must cooperate to stabilize Ningxia Town."

"Do you have any recommendations for generals?"

"I boldly recommend three generals: Li Rusong, Li Rubai, and Li Rumei."

Zhang Xiao decided to follow historical choices, and Li Rusong had no problem suppressing Ningxia.

"Wu said that according to your opinion, let the three of them bring the servants of the headquarters plus three thousand elite infantry and cavalry. It is enough. Wen said that it is not time to replace the governor now. Wen said that you can go. On the way there If there is no urgent work, remember to write your book. When you are almost done, send it to the capital. Don't break the book." The emperor spoke directly.

Zhang Xiao was dumbfounded. He made a suggestion and brought himself along.

"The minister obeys the order."

"Five days, five days is enough. Please hand over the tasks at hand and arrange everything that needs to be arranged. We will set off with the large group in five days. Oh, by the way, you can ride a horse, right?"

"Slightly understood."

"It's okay. If you can't fall to death on horseback, just follow him. You can deal with it randomly over there, and you must get things done." The emperor ordered.
