Start to be a martial arts hero from the famous people of Hengshan

Chapter 460: I am not talented, but I understand a little bit

In early autumn, when the warmth has just faded away, the moon is full, crabs are fat, and sweet osmanthus flowers are bright, and the weather has not yet become cold and bleak, this is the most worthwhile to enjoy.

Liu Qing sent someone to deliver a letter to the Ministry of Rites, saying that Yue Lingshan wanted to eat crabs, so she asked Hua An to prepare some. She was worried that Lingshan would be greedy and eat too much, so she asked Ou Zanghua to return home early to supervise her willful concubine.

Upon seeing this, Ou Zanghua could not help but smile and shook his head, thinking to himself, it was not that Liu Qing could not control Yue Lingshan, it was clearly that he himself had been busy with the affairs of the Imperial College and several royal estates these days, and had not returned home for many days, which made them worry about him.

Just as he was about to pick up his pen to reply, an eunuch hurried in and was summoned by Emperor Zhengde.

When Ou Zanghua hurried into the Qianqing Palace, he found that the Prime Minister Fei Hong and the Minister of War Lu Wan were also there, but Fei Hong's face looked very ugly.

"Your Majesty, I am your humble servant!" Ou Zanghua first saluted to Emperor Zhengde, and after receiving a response, he greeted Fei Hong and Lu Wan.

At this time Ou Zanghua didn't know what was going on. He stood aside and listened for a while, and finally understood.

It turned out that the censor Yu Shan believed that since Fei Hong was the Prime Minister, he should avoid suspicion, but his younger brother Fei Cai was appointed as a Hanlin Academy Scholar and an editor. He believed that Fei Hong was behind the scenes.

Ou Zanghua reminisced and remembered that Fei Cai was his classmate. They both took part in the imperial examination in the sixth year of Zhengde, but he was the third place in the imperial examination while Fei Cai was a Jinshi.

If it was just this one incident, it would be fine, but it just so happens that another incident happened in Jiangxi recently, which was also related to Fei Hong.

One of Fei Hong's clansmen was in court with a native named Li Zhen. Li Zhen believed that the government favored Fei Hong's clansmen, so he rebelled and led his men to attack the Fei family.

Li Zhen captured those members of the Fei family who were suing him and brutally dismembered them. He also dug up the graves of the Fei family's ancestors and destroyed the retirement home that Fei Hong had built over the years.

".After that, the bandit Li Zhen did not restrain himself at all, but instead plundered far and wide. His number grew to 3,000, causing trouble for the area."

Fei Hong clasped his hands and said, "I ask Your Majesty to make the decision and dispatch troops to suppress the bandits!"

Emperor Zhengde looked at Ou Zanghua and Lu Wan and asked, "What do you two think?"

Lu Wan stood up, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I think we can first send an imperial censor to Jiangxi to investigate. If this is true, we can order Jiangxi Governor Sun Sui to dispatch troops to quell the rebellion."

Ou Zanghua also agreed, but he thought that sending an imperial censor would be too time-consuming, so it would be better to send a pigeon to order the Jiangxi Governor Sun Sui and Jiangxi Censor Zhou Zhen to investigate. If this was true, troops would be dispatched immediately to eliminate it.

Emperor Zhengde nodded and said, "Let's do it! Send a pigeon to Sun Sui and Zhou Zhen to investigate the matter thoroughly. Don't worry, Fei Qing. If this is true, I will definitely help you get rid of this evil!"

"I thank your majesty!"

Then, Fei Hong and Lu Wan reported a few more things before leaving. Only Emperor Zhengde and Ou Zanghua were left in the Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Zhengde restrained his smile and said coldly: "What a good dog! Fei Qing's letter has arrived, but my Jinyiwei in Jiangxi seems to be dead, without any movement."

Ou Zanghua was unable to comment on this and chose to remain silent.

In fact, there were secret agents from the Jinyiwei and the Eastern Depot in his house, but he pretended not to know.

After all, he had already entered the second echelon of civil servants before he was thirty years old, and was only one step away from becoming the highest official in the country. Even if Emperor Zhengde trusted him much, he did not dare to gamble.

Who says our family has such a long history and the historians wrote it in such detail?

First there was Huo Guang, then Wang Mang, and then Cao Cao and Sima Yi who broke the bottom line appeared. Which boss would not be trembling with fear when seeing this?
Seeing that Ou Zanghua remained silent, Emperor Zhengde did not blame him, but changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Ou, how long do you think it will take for Prince Ning to make a big move?"

Ou Zanghua thought for a moment before saying, "At present, due to the withdrawal of Jiangxi military officers, there is a power vacancy in Raozhou Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture, and Jianchang Prefecture. King Ning needs to take control of these three regions before taking the next step. In my humble opinion, this process will take one to two years." "One or two years."

Emperor Zhengde sighed and said leisurely: "Then wait and see!"

The desert is dusty and the sun is dim, the red flag is half-rolled out of the gate.

The vanguard army fought at night in the north of Tao River and reported that they had captured Tuyuhun alive.

Wang Changling's poem "Joining the Army" reflects Wang Yangming's mentality at that moment. He had been in the northwest for more than a year and had been rectifying the internal affairs and training the army in order to be able to defeat Turpan in one battle.

Wang Yangming knew that it was difficult to sustain a long-term campaign in the northwest with the current financial resources and material reserves of the imperial court. Therefore, he took a series of decisive measures to quickly restore production vitality in Gansu.

At the same time, with the opening of the horse market, the local economy began to gain momentum.

When everything was going in the right direction, Turpan could no longer sit still.

Man Suer now has an inexplicable mentality. He does not want the Gansu region to become overly prosperous, which would increase its military strength and create obstacles for his future plundering operations.

He also didn't want to see the area lag behind in development, because if it was too barren, he would just rob it and there would be nothing to steal.

It's good like this now, there is something, but not much.

So, Mansur ordered Huozhetajiding to gather two thousand cavalrymen and prepare for a surprise attack on Suzhou, an important town in Hexi.

Let’s do this first!
What Mansuer didn't know was that as soon as his army set out, Wang Yangming, who was far away in Lanzhou Prefecture, received the news.

However, Lord Wang just smiled and continued to listen to the person in front of him.

"Sir, according to the agreement signed between the Khan and the court, Mongolia will send 10,000 troops to assist you in pacifying Turpan. The spoils of war after the war will be fairly divided between us, with each taking 50%."

Alechu Bolot, the sixth son of Dayan Khan and the leader of the five Inner Khalkha tribes, stared at Wang Yangming and said in a rough tone: "When the war is over, my Mongolian army will withdraw, and that piece of land will belong to the Ming Dynasty."

In fact, Dayan Khan once had the idea of ​​conquering Turpan, but he never put it into action. The biggest concern was from the Ming Dynasty.

He was worried that once he launched an expedition, the Ming Dynasty would take advantage of the opportunity to launch a sneak attack from behind. No one could afford to be attacked from both sides.

After all, in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, the threat from the northwest is far less than that from the nearby Mongolian grasslands.

If there was an opportunity for a surprise attack, the Ming Dynasty would definitely not just sit there and watch.

Wang Yangming heard this and reminded him gently: "This is a matter of course, but the lord seems to have missed an important matter. Mongolia sent 10,000 elite troops to assist the Ming Dynasty, and their wartime command must be in the hands of the commander of the Ming Dynasty."

"Of course I know that."

Alechubolot nodded, a hint of hesitation in his eyes, and then asked: "But Lord Wang is a civil official, right?"

Wang Yangming smiled slightly and spoke slowly: "Although I am not talented, I know a little about military affairs. I will personally take charge of the important task of conquering Turpan this time."

Alechuborot was slightly stunned. Looking at Wang Yangming's serious expression, he couldn't help but think of another powerful civil official in the Ming Dynasty.

Both of them seemed to have a sense of ease that everything was under control.
