Chapter 878(1/2)
When he returned to the palace by carriage, the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi thought the palace was in chaos, but he didn't expect it.
Surprisingly quiet.
In the six ministries' duty rooms, officials either leaned against official hats and chairs, lay on the desk, or slept on benches that were brought together.
Snoring sounds everywhere, and the expression is extremely comfortable.
The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi could see the truth and walked a few more steps forward, and saw that the six ministries' duty rooms were all the same.
"The new emperor changed the Wu Dynasty... to Wuqing rest."
Xiao Jing noticed the face of the Supreme Emperor and was cautious:
"The imperial edict to fight against the Oirat has left the city."
When he went to report to the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi, Lu Wan had already left the capital with the imperial edict.
The new emperor was smart and was afraid that the Supreme Emperor would dissuade him, so he issued an order first.
It is fully proved that having a smart son may not be a good thing, and it may also make your father angry to death.
Fortunately, he is a castrator.
"Are there any other decrees?"
The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi pinched his thick beard and pulled out a few pieces in response, but his face did not change at all.
"No more, the new emperor is in the Ganqing Palace, should I go there?"
Xiao Jing just received the news that Zhu Houzhao was studying maps with Yan Chengjin and moved a large sand table.
No need to ask more questions, it must be thinking about letting Wang Shouren attack the Oirat.
After attacking the Oirat, Yan Chengjin was still a little worried when he attacked the Oirat cavalry. Yingzong suffered a loss in the terrain and was dived by the Oirat cavalry.
Like a wolf entering a flock of sheep.
Although wars are related to the number of people, if you lose the morale of the army, no matter how many people are, you can only be slaughtered.
Xie Jin used the saying "Khan is dead" to cause chaos in the morale of the Tartars, and defeated the more with less.
"Lao Gao, there are only tens of thousands of people, how can I get military pay?"
Zhu Houzhao lay on the sand table, staring at the location of Yaoerling.
Military pay has a great relationship with military morale. When hungry, soldiers will easily feel panic and are easily affected by the turmoil, so they dare not fight with the Oirats.
If Wang Shouren meets again, he will not be able to turn rice into nothing.
"What a good question."
In the Western Regions, you can’t buy rice and flour even if you have money.
It needs to be allocated from the capital or Jiangnan, but the caravan cannot keep up with the speed of the cavalry, and he is willing to help Wang Shouren.
...
Western Regions, Tubo territory.
Wang Shouren rode a horse in front of the army. The yellow sand in the sky made his face hurt, and the world was dim.
It was difficult to move forward, so people ordered to set up camp on the spot.
"One day of rectification, and continue to go north tomorrow."
After two months of chasing the Turks, they almost killed them all, and there was a Ming army to the west.
It was led by Xu Guangzuo, Duke of Ding.
To avoid encountering them, Wang Shouren kept marching eastward and wandered around the area encircled and suppressed by Duke Dingguo.
The Turks thought that Duke Ding had left and would probably hide here.
Deputy General Ling Shisan looked at Wang Shouren with a look of admiration in his eyes, and asked:
"Sir, the Turks are left with only the remains, which is not enough to cause trouble. Why don't you return to the royal court?"
"Stay here for a month first, maybe you will fight the Oirat." Wang Shouren said.
I heard from past businessmen that when the Datong Mutiny changed, Brother Gao did not send a message to him.
But he guessed that Brother Gao might send the rebels over.
The Tang and Song dynasties depended on the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty decided to attack the Oirat, the Tang and Song dynasties would also attack the Oirat.
Therefore, he wanted to wait and see if Yang Yiqing would send troops to Ola.
"Military pay is less than a month, maybe I can't go north anymore."
Another deputy general in charge of the granary reported.
Wang Shouren thought for a while, if Brother Gao was here, he might have issued national debts to the people and foreigners in the name of the Tang and Song dynasties?
There were countless spices in the Tang and Song dynasties.
As long as you write down spice certificates for merchants and princes here, someone will send military pay.
"I passed on the order to issue national debts in the name of the Tang and Song dynasties, and a thousand taels of silver were used to get spices from the Tang and Song dynasties."
The credibility of the Tang and Song dynasties is not as good as that of the Ming Dynasty.
A stock price is too high, and merchants and gentry may not buy it.
In just half a day, a merchant brought a convoy to ask and bought ten shares of government bonds. As the reputation spread, more and more merchants gathered from all directions.
It alarmed the royal court in Tubo.
Tubo and Hami fought for many years, with only more than 60,000 cavalrymen, far less than the 250,000 soldiers of the Tang and Song dynasties. They dare not treat Wang Shouren.
This territory is except for the Ming Dynasty and the Oirat.
The most powerful country was the Tang and Song dynasties.
Therefore, although the Tubo royal family coveted the spices of the Tang and Song dynasties, they did not dare to invade them. Instead, they sent people to send money and grain to purchase the national debts of the Tang and Song dynasties.
"My teacher, the military pay is converted into silver. One million and two hundred thousand taels are prepared. Do you still need to pay it?"
Early the next morning, Zhang Jingyue reported to Wang Shouren.
In the past, many merchants had money and food, but too much silver was prepared, which was not conducive to the rush.
We need to use war to support the war like the Tatars, and we cannot bring too much baggage.
“Continue to distribute.”
Wang Shouren was not sure how many soldiers and horses Brother Gao would send, and he had to prepare more money and food.
If you don’t give it, the excess money and food will be sent back to the Tang and Song dynasties.
Half a day later, Tangqi sent back the news that Ningxia had closed the city and refused to allow Tatars to enter the pass. Yang Yiqing led 150,000 troops to the north to the Tatars, and followed the grain cart escorted by Zhan Rong, the doctor of the Ministry of War.
"This is a sign of attacking the Oirat."
"Waring outside the city, except for the Ningxia border army, the rest of the troops were not as good as the Oirat. Mentor, should we go north to support us?"
A beautiful Confucian scholar showed excitement. They were willing to follow Wang Shouren not only because of his talent.
It was also because of what he did, which was to establish his destiny for the people of the Ming Dynasty.
It sounds very exciting when I hear it.
"Wait a few more days and wait for the mutiny of Datong to subside." Wang Shouren said.
I don’t know who was the official sent to Datong to quell the rebellion this time.
If the rebellion is quelled and no soldiers are sent, it will be Brother Gao who miscalculated in the court.
…………
Datong, Yulinwei.
This place was once a guard guarding the Tatars, but after the Datong mutiny, it was occupied by soldiers.
The Great Wall of Datong is 1,252 miles long, but only six guards occupy the pass and can leave the pass at any time.
"You want to escort 100,000 troops out of the Western Regions? Who issued the imperial edict!"
British Duke Zhang Maoru glared at King Kong and jointly suppressed the mutiny with Yang Yiqing, surrounded Yulin Guards, cut off water and food, and waited for a few days to launch an attack and kill them all.
At this time, the court had to release 50,000 troops from the Western Regions.
These people have no livelihood and will definitely become bandits!
Fifty thousand bandits were hidden in the desert of the Western Regions and would become a major concern for the court in the future. This kind of ignorant imperial edict was first heard by Zhu Houzhao's child.
Too young, too young!
"The emperor only pays attention to the imperial edict, and asks the Duke of England not to make things difficult. If he resists the imperial edict, the emperor will be ordered to escort you back to the capital."
Lu Wan handed over Zhu Houzhao's imperial edict with a serious expression on his face.
He could not guess the intention of the new emperor to exile these people to the Western Regions.
But Yan Chengjin ordered him to escort these soldiers from Gansu to pass the imperial guards and hand them over to the generals of the Tang and Song dynasties, perhaps to pick spices.
