Ming politicians

() The matter of the Jiangning camp finally attracted the attention of the imperial court. Of course, there are many people advocating it, and some people have other thoughts. Of course, such a powerful army needs to be brought back to the imperial court, and of course someone needs it Come to unify the command.It is not very difficult to be able to command such a powerful army and win the battle.

This is not a rare thing. The Qi family army from Jiajing to Wanli years was so famous that it shocked China. Didn't some people think that they could directly command this army and drive away the founder Qi Jiguang?

Su Tiancheng recommended Sun Chuanting and Lu Tianming, and it was precisely because of this memorial that aroused controversy in the court.

Sun Chuanting used to be the head of the Ministry of Officials, with a rank of sixth rank, and had resigned and returned home for several years. Lu Tianming was the magistrate of Jiangning County, with a rank of seventh rank. Su Tiancheng's recommendation memorial was just a suggestion that Lu Tianming be appointed Although the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is also a seven-rank rank, his nature is completely different, and it is a typical reuse. As for Sun Chuanting, he did not propose a position, which is in line with the rules. Sun Chuanting's rank is not low As for Su Tiancheng, it is difficult for Su Tiancheng to come up with specific opinions.

But everyone knows that since Su Tiancheng recommended Sun Chuanting, it must be a tendentious suggestion, but this suggestion will not be clearly stated in the memorial.

Zhu Youjian first convened several ministers of the cabinet to discuss their opinions. Such a matter is not suitable for discussion at the court meeting, otherwise it will just be arguing and there will be no results.

Before the discussion, he was a little worried. It was a trivial matter to use Sun Chuanting and reuse Lu Tianming.If it is not done well, other disputes will arise.Especially about the Jiangning camp.

His worries turned out to be reality.

The deliberation had just begun when Wen Tiren, the newly appointed chief minister of the cabinet, spoke.

"Your Majesty, I think that the matter of Jiangning Camp needs to be resolved first. This is the biggest thing. The predecessor of Jiangning Camp. It is just the Jiangning County Inspection Department, and its commanding generals Sun Yuankun, Liu Shiliang, Luo Chang, Ma Huabiao, Liu Tiehan, etc. People are either the inspectors and deputy inspectors of the Jiangning County Inspection Department, or the Jiangning County military officials, which does not conform to the rules."

Zhu Youjian didn't have any expression on his face, he looked at Xu Guangqi, during this time.Xu Guangqi's health is not very good, and he proposed several times to resign from all positions, but he firmly disagreed.

"Wen Aiqing, what is your suggestion?"

"I suggest that the Jiangning Guard be set up. The imperial court can send commanders. The former Jiangning battalion commander Sun Yuankun and others can serve as lower-level officers. At the same time, send supervisors. Go to the Jiangning battalion and put the Jiangning battalion under the direct command of the imperial court. "

Zhu Youjian frowned.Without speaking, he looked at Xu Guangqi again. Among the ministers in the cabinet, the only one who could raise a different opinion was Xu Guangqi.

It is said that Zhu Youjian trusts Wen Tiren very much, otherwise he would not let Wen Tiren serve as the chief assistant of the cabinet. However, his trust still has a certain limit. He used to trust Yuan Chonghuan, including Zhou Yanru, in exchange for what , The lesson is too profound, so this kind of trust must be greatly discounted.

Xu Guangqi spoke slowly.

"Master Wen's suggestion is still good. It clarifies the rank of Jiangning Camp and brings it under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court. Jiangning Camp is majestic and majestic, so it should be treated like this. It's just that the matter of setting up Jiangning Guard is a little different. It is suggested that the emperor has already conferred the title of Jiangning Camp, and it would not be appropriate to set up Jiangning Guard again. According to my opinion, it is better to call it Jiangning Camp, and its treatment level should be confirmed according to the setting of a thousand households."

There was a subtle change in Wen Tiren's complexion.

"As for the matter of the imperial court sending commanders, I think it's better not to send them for the time being."

Xu Guangqi didn't explain the reason why he didn't send it. He didn't say it clearly. In fact, the meaning in it is very clear. I believe the emperor understands that there is evil. There is no need to say it so clearly. Otherwise, everyone's face will be very bad. It looks good, but in fact, everyone knows the struggle inside.

While the discussion in the court was still going on, Su Tiancheng was already highly nervous.

He has already considered the future of the Jiangning Camp. If this aspect cannot be clarified, many things will be difficult to handle, or even impossible. Such an army will definitely arouse the jealousy of others. There have been such spearheads before, and after the killing of Lao Huihui, the contradictions in it can no longer be covered up.

The establishment of the Ming Dynasty army is very clear. The imperial army and the local armed forces are two different levels. The root of the Jiangning battalion is still the nature of the local militia. It is impossible to imagine that it will be like this for a long time. At the beginning, I begged the emperor to bestow the title of Jiang Ningying, just to prevent the following things.

The Jiangning Battalion must be under their own control. This is the bottom line that cannot be touched at any time. If such an army is commanded by others, it will be the greatest tragedy.After all, building a powerful army is not as simple as talking about it.

Brothers in the Jiangning camp, there is no need to worry, they are absolutely loyal to themselves, but in the imperial court, it is not clear what some people think in their hearts.

Regarding this concern, Su Tiancheng and Qu Qingze have discussed in detail that they have different starting points, mainly considering the future development of Jiangningying. Qu Qingze's understanding is consistent with Su Tiancheng's. If Jiangningying belongs to Others commanded and pulled it out hastily. I'm afraid it won't end well.

So, while submitting the memorial, through the line of Qu Qingze, Su Tiancheng published a secret document, in which, many things about the Jiangning Camp were mentioned in detail.

His suggestion is that Sun Chuanting can be the head of the Ministry of War, even with a title, and actually command the Jiangning Camp. The commander of the Jiangning battalion, in the imperial court, is the emperor himself.

In this way, the ranks of Sun Yuankun and others became clear.

But this is just Su Tiancheng's wishful thinking. To achieve this goal, there is still a lot of work to be done.

Su Tiancheng mainly relied on three people, namely Fan Jingwen, Shangshu of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, Qin Sande, the guardian eunuch, and Zhang Taining, the garrison minister. With the help of these three people, it is not too difficult to achieve the goal.

The support Fan Jingwen is looking for is the cabinet minister Xu Guangqi.

The support that Qin Sande is looking for is Wang Chengen, the chief eunuch of the Sili Supervisor.

The support Zhang Taining is looking for is Zhang Fengyi, Minister of War.

Of course, there is another line, that is, Qu Qingze, which is also owned by Su Tiancheng himself, and that is Dong Chang, the governor of Jinyiwei.

If you can do a good job in these aspects, your own ideas will definitely be realized, and the suggestions of these people can be directly put into the hands of the emperor Zhu Youjian.

Jiangning County is close to two thousand miles away from the stable. Su Tiancheng is not clear about everything that happened in the stable. This is his disadvantage. After all, he is only a rank-[-] county magistrate, so it is impossible for him to have such great mobility.

If you gain something, you will lose something, and it is impossible to be satisfied everywhere.

After learning that the imperial court started discussing the Jiangning camp, Su Tiancheng could hardly sleep. At such a critical moment, he would not be able to go to Fan Jingwen and others. What should be said has already been said, and now he is waiting for the final verdict up.

Take a ten thousand step back and say that the imperial court has sent new commanders, including supervising troops, etc. Su Tiancheng also has a solution. At least Jiangning County needs to be responsible for the supply of the Jiangning Camp. The imperial court cannot maintain such a huge expenditure. Everything is possible in your own hands.But at that point, it is the worst policy.

The autumn harvest season is coming soon, and the county government of Jiangning County has also begun to be busy. There are many things this year.

At this time, the imperial decree arrived.

The imperial decree went directly to the Ministry of War in Nanjing, and because it involved the Jiangning battalion, Su Tiancheng also went to receive the decree.

When he arrived at the Ministry of War, Su Tiancheng saw that Fan Jingwen, Minister of the Ministry of War, accompanied the eunuchs from the palace with a smile on his face.

Such a situation made him feel relieved.

The imperial edict was very long. This time, Su Tiancheng didn't think it was too long. After listening to the imperial edict, he felt shocked.

The Jiangnan camp has one guard commander, two deputy commanders, and six people from every thousand households.

Fan Jingwen, Minister of the Ministry of War of Nanjing, served concurrently as the Commander of the Guards, and temporarily set up one Commander Tongzhi, concurrently served by Sun Chuanting, the head of the Ministry of War.

This is the best arrangement, even better than what I originally imagined. At first, I just thought that it would be great if the Jiangnan camp could be set up as a thousand households, although in terms of military strength, it has already exceeded the number of guards. The situation of Dang Jiangning Battalion, after all, is special and somewhat different, and it is impossible to determine the rank according to the number of troops.

Unexpectedly, Jiangnanying enjoyed the treatment of the guard.

The most interesting thing is Sun Chuanting, the head of the Ministry of War is only the rank of the sixth rank, but the rank of commanding colleagues is the rank of the third rank, and Sun Chuanting's main job is still the head of the Ministry of War.

As for Sun Yuankun and others, their rank has already reached the fifth rank.

As a military supervisor, I don't have a clear rank.

But in this, one of the most crucial things is clear, that is, the imperial court will not allocate military salaries, and Jiangning County is still directly responsible for all the expenses of the Jiangning Camp, which makes a big difference.

In the final analysis, Jiangning Camp is still under the control of Jiangning County. The imperial decree only clarified the rank and did not mention other things.

As for Commander Fan Jingwen, it is impossible to ask about the affairs of the Jiangning camp. He has a lot of things to do every day, and he is in charge of all the guard troops in Nanzhili and Zhejiang, so he has no time to care about the affairs of the Jiangning camp.

Besides, I am the supervisor of the Jiangning battalion, the actual leader. (To be continued. Welcome to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets,
