Chapter 151 Candidates for the Minister of War

Chapter 151                                                                                                                             

Yang Pu's heart was moved immediately after hearing this.

Since Yang Rong's death, Zhu Qizhen took the initiative to ask civil officials for military issues. How to prevent Yang Pu from being moved.

Yang Pu thought to himself: "Maybe, this is an opportunity."

To be honest, if Yang Pu had any opinions on Zhu Qizhen's military use of honorary ministers, he had no big opinion. First of all, Zhu Qizhen proved himself in his appointment with Meng Ying.

In addition, although Wang Ji had a flash in his life to pacify the Northwest Rebellion, from the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the present, military tradition has traditionally used nobles.

However, no one dislikes power. Yang Pu does not want Zhu Qizhen to be disgusted by military affairs and conflicts with Zhu Qizhen, but it does not mean that Yang Pu does not want to make a difference in military affairs.

You should know that since Yang Shiqi sent the censor to investigate the garrison in the first year of Zhengtong, the Qing army censors have never stopped.

After the Ministry of War lost the independent assessment of officers' assault on the Five Army Governor's Office, the Ministry of War seemed to have nothing to do with the Ministry of War in strategic decision-making.

They focused on the Qing army.

Even if there are policies from above, there are countermeasures from below.

As long as the evidence is conclusive, the Qing army never fails to approve the matters reported by the Qing army censors. Every year, several officers lost their official positions due to corruption, encroachment on military farms, etc., and some even took a knife to the Meridian Gate.

This has improved the atmosphere in the army.

Of course, the deep-rooted problems that come from the womb cannot be corrected by sending people to inspect and supervise, but even a gust of wind is better than not.

Yang Pu still said tentatively: "Your Majesty, you should ask the Duke of England, the Marquis of Baoding."

Zhu Qizhen said: "Is there no way to teach me when it comes to the border plan?"

Maybe others didn't feel it, but the threat of thorns in Zhu Qizhen's mind was increasing little by little. All kinds of thoughts emerged in Zhu Qizhen's mind.

Zhu Qizhen is confident about Zhang Fu, Zhu Yong and other people. But if they are, they are afraid of thinking about it.

Zhu Qizhen misses Yang Rong at this moment.

When Emperor Xuanzong was here, he encountered such a thing, so he must have asked Yang Rong. Now Yang Rong is gone. Zhu Qizhen was worried about relying on the nobles alone.

That's why this conversation is today.

Yang Pu said: "Your Majesty, what do you want me to say?"

Zhu Qizhen said: "Calculate the time. In a dozen days, Yang Hong will be out of customs and inspect the Kaiping Daning areas. What do you think?"

Yang Pu said: "When Mian Ren was there, I admired Yang Hong very much. I even wrote a letter to Yang Hong. I trust Mian Ren's eyesight.

So there was nothing major about Yang Hong's out-of-bounds incident, but His Majesty was interested in border affairs and should first seek an invincible place. Why not send ministers to inspect the defense of Xuanda City for future development?"

Zhu Qizhen also understood after hearing this that the three Yangs had their own abilities. Although they were as famous as the same, they could not be replaced by each other. Yang Rong was Yang Rong. Such a talent was not so easy to make up for.

What Yang Pu said was nothing more than a conspiracy to the country and could not be wrong. But it was not a constructive opinion.

Zhu Qizhen thought about the decisive plan of the Great Wall mentioned by Zhang Fu, and also felt that sending people was to inspect the Great Wall, which was also the subject of the question. Many of the troops in the capital were under Zhu Qizhen's eyes, and the news about the Jinyiwei was the most well-informed.

Zhu Qizhen is confident and confident.

However, Xuanda claims to be both elite soldiers and powerful generals, but what exactly is going on? Zhu Qizhen may not be clear. He sent a nobleman to inspect, and Zhu Qizhen thought with his toes, and the effect would not be very good.

Zhu Qizhen said, "Sir, who do you think you'll send?"

Yang Pu said: "Che Chai, the Minister of War, has been lingering in sick bed for a long time. Your Majesty should have prepared for the position of Minister of War. I recommend two people, one is Xu Xi, who has been in the expedition many times, and has been in charge of Ganzhou, Zhuanglang and other places, and has made many contributions to the army. Now he is the Minister of Revenue in Nanjing, and the other is the Minister of War Kuang Ye."

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he understood who Yang Pu wanted to recommend.

Because if Kuang Ye, there is no need to recommend it, because if the Minister of War is vacant, it should be the Minister of War.

Zhu Qizhen asked instead: "I have seen Kuang Ye many times, but I don't know why the gentleman put him behind."

Yang Pu said: "Kuang Ye is the talent of the Minister of War, but he is not the Minister of War that His Majesty wants."

Then Yang Pu listed Kuang Ye's political achievements. The core of Kuang Ye's political achievements was a kind person, a good official who loved the people as much as his children. During the Yongle period, the Baochao in Nanjing depreciated and the people refused to accept it. Emperor Taizong ordered Kuang Ye to deal with it. After Kuang Ye left, he only punished the gentry for a few years and came back.

Taizong asked him why he didn't deal with those people? Refusing to use treasure money at that time was just like refusing to use RMB now, which was illegal.

But Kuang Ye said, Your Majesty, due to the power of heaven, the people used treasure money again before they arrived in Nanjing.

There is also the same thing, rumored that someone in Shaanxi rebelled, and Taizong ordered Kuang Ye to bring it to justice. Kuang Ye arrived and appeased the people. He only killed a few leaders and released all the people. He told Emperor Taizong that no one rebelled.

There are many such things, such as opening warehouses and releasing grain without the imperial edict, etc.

He said that Kuang Ye is a good official, he is always considering the people, not implicating them, and not killing people indiscriminately. Although he is a little merciful, he really has such a parent official, which many people hope.

But what is the official position of the Minister of War?

Even though there are signs of revival in the Five Army Governor's Office, the power of the Ministry of War has been greatly weakened. However, the power of the Ministry of War is much lighter than when Yang Rong was there. However, it is still one of the six ministries in the world, with a higher position and a greater power.

Kuang Ye’s ability is OK to be a minister in any department, but it is a bit out of place in the Ministry of War.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Then let Xu Xi be ordered to inspect the defenses of Liaodong, Xuanfu, Datong, Shaanxi and other towns as the Minister of War. He inspected them one by one and reported to me."

This is also a survey, just touching the lower part of the nine sides. See what the defense of the nine sides looks like.

Similarly, if Xu Xi could do this well, then after the death of Chuanche, the position of Minister of War would be Xu Xi.

Poor Wang Ji's original plan finally got a cheaper person who was far inferior to his own abilities and qualifications.

Sometimes it is time and fate.

However, Xu Xi rushed from Nanjing to Beijing, ordered a patrol, and then walked from Liaodong to Hetao, and even Gansu for more than a year or two, but he could not find a detailed investigation report.

However, in the Dushi Fort, the cavalry from Xuanda and the two places gathered here continuously.

For a moment, people were overturned.

Yang Hong is now more than fifty years old. He has been guarding the border for more than twenty years. He has climbed from a hundred households to his current position step by step. I don’t know how many people he has killed and fought many fierce battles along the way.

It can be said that it was fought from the bottom of the battle.

Therefore, he had a very heavy murderous aura.

This murderous aura makes people dare not breathe heavily.

Li Dachuan and Shi Jing both felt very stressed at this moment. The respectful salute was like a statue and he dared not move for a moment.

But specifically, the two people are different.

Li Dachuan was even more afraid of Yang Hong's reputation. He was also from the Xuanfu family. He followed Emperor Xuanzong to fight against ten Mongolian cavalry with one cavalry, and killed four people. All the rest escaped. This battle made him famous in front of Emperor Xuanzong, and then he has come step by step.

Therefore, he had heard of the reputation of this old general. He admired the old general who was beaten by one hand and one step at a time.

But Shi Jing is different.

Although Shi Jing's middle-aged position was not high, he grew up in the capital. Even though he followed Meng Ying to the south, he took the cavalry behind Meng Ying and rushed among the troops.

But at that time, the Ming Dynasty was invincible and Shi Jing did not kill anyone with his own hands.

After all, he was a prince consort and had the confidence to confront a general, but he could not resist Yang Hong's silent murderous aura. For a moment, he felt that the old general had a very similar temperament to Meng Ying.
