Chapter 853 The court sends troops again

News of Zhang Huai's defeat reached the capital.

The memorandum was submitted from the Tongzheng Envoy Department and sent to the cabinet.

"Gei Master, something big happened." Wang Wenyan, a clerk of the Secretariat, walked in quickly, holding the question book he had just sent.

As soon as he came in, the eyes of several cabinet masters in the room looked at him.

"This is the cabinet, be steady when encountering things." Ye Xianggao scolded softly.

His scolding was not to blame Wang Wenyan, but to protect this person, he did not give the other cabinet masters a chance to blame him.

"Students know their mistakes." Wang Wenyan hurriedly admitted his mistakes and performed his respects.

Ye Xianggao raised the cover bowl at his hand, used the cup lid to dial the tea inside, and asked, "What's the matter if you're so anxious to come!"

"Gei Master, Datong's question book has arrived." As he said that, Wang Wenyan handed over the question book in his hand.

Ye Xianggao held the cover bowl with one hand and took the question book with the other hand. At the same time, he said, "It seems that it was a good news from Datong. Think about it, that Liu Heng was just a greedy businessman, and he was full of mobs under his command. After all, Datong's soldiers were elites on the nine sides. It was easy to deal with a group of mobs."

"Haha, what the Chief Aunt said is very true." Han Du said with a smile, "Since ancient times, few merchants have committed rebellious actions. All because merchants value profit, and most of them are people who forget their righteousness when they see profit. They are far from enough to achieve success by relying on some chaotic people."

Other cabinet masters also expressed their opinions to Ye Xianggao's words, and at the same time they did not forget to step on the tiger-shaped flag.

Wang Wenyan, who was standing in front of Ye Xianggao Jin, turned red. After several of the cabinet masters finished speaking, he said: "All the cabinet masters, Zhang Huai, the general of Datong, was defeated by Lingqiu, and the tiger flag and the bandit leader Liu Heng remained in Lingqiu."

As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of several parents around him showed a hint of embarrassment.

Bang!

The cover bowl of Ye Xiang master fell to the ground, shattered into several petals, and the tea inside splashed all over the ground, leaving only the bottom support in his hand.

Several people in the cabinet were attracted by the sound of the shattered bowl, and their eyes fell on Ye Xianggao.

"Gei Master, should you take a look at the question book sent by Datong first?" Wang Wenyan reminded in a low voice.

The sound of shattering just now made him think that Ye Xianggao was so angry that he broke the cover in his hand when he heard about Zhang Huai's defeat.

Ye Xianggao opened the question book and took it to his eyes.

After reading it, he slapped the question book on the table and said coldly: "This Zhang Huai is really useless. He is a general of Datong. He is even worse than a group of mobs raised by merchants. He has the face to ask the court for help."

"Zhang Huai really lost to a businessman in Datong?" Han Du frowned and said in disbelief.

Ye Xianggao handed the note in his hand forward and said, "Look at it, the question book that the governor of Datong and general Zhang Huai together were all over the place."

Han Du stood up from his seat, walked around the table in front of him, came to Ye Xianggao Jin, took the question book, and looked through it.

After reading it, he handed the question book in his hand to several other cabinet masters.

The question book was passed around by several cabinet masters, and finally returned to Master Ye Xiang.

Ye Xianggao asked: "Everyone talks about the matter of Datong, what should we do next?"

Han Du, who returned to his seat, was the first to speak: "Although Liaodong has been safe since he was going to take the childish rope, no one can guarantee whether the Jurchens will come to harass my Ming Dynasty again. At this time, I think it should be more stable. You can recruit tiger flags and Liu Heng, give him a job and comfort him temporarily."

Zhisheng was named Sun Chengzong. He replaced Wang Zaijin as the governor of Liaodong, recovered more than 400 miles of land lost in Liaodong, stabilizing the situation in Liaodong.

Wang Wenyan, who was standing aside, heard the suggestion made by Han Du, opened her mouth to interrupt, but thought that she was just a servant of the Secretariat, so she had to swallow the words she had to say back to her stomach.

There were several cabinet masters in the cabinet discussing the matter. He knew in his heart that even if Ye Xianggao trusted him, he would not let him, a minister of the Secretariat, participate in the discussion at this time.

"I don't agree to recruitment." said a cabinet master in the house. "What Liu Heng did was all a rebellious act. Once he was recruited, what should anyone do in the future? Can't they all be recruited?"

After the words came to an end, the other cabinet masters in the room nodded in agreement.

When Wang Wenyan saw so many cabinet masters disagreed with the tiger flag, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on her face relaxed a lot.

Han Du did not look at the other cabinet masters, but said to Ye Xianggao: "The Ming Dynasty cannot withstand the chaos anymore, and Datong is another important town on the nine borders. Once something happens, the Mongols may be able to rush their troops south at any time."

He hopes that Ye Xianggao can agree to the tiger flag.

Ye Xianggao stroked his beard and said, "There is a childish rope in Liaodong, and there is no big problem. You can hand over Liaodong to him with confidence. As for this tiger-shaped flag, my opinion is to continue to send troops to clear it out. Since Datong's troops are not good, let Yang Guozhu of Xuanfu lead his troops to Datong to encircle and suppress the tiger-shaped flag. "

"What the Chief Auxiliary said is very much." One of the cabinet masters said, "I have read the Datong question book. It said that Zhang Huai only lost less than a thousand people, which means that Datong's troops did not suffer much loss. In addition to the Xuanfu's troops, it would be easy to clear out Datong's rebellion."

Han Du on the other side frowned and said, "The lost soldiers and horses in the title book are all personal soldiers from Datong families. These people are all elite soldiers in Liaodong, far from comparable to ordinary soldiers from all major camps."

Even though he was a civil servant, he had been an official for so many years and knew that the most elite soldiers in the army were the personal soldiers raised by military generals from various families. Although Datong only lost more than a thousand personal soldiers, he knew in his heart that this was more serious than losing half of the soldiers and horses of Datong.

Li Chengliang had only more than 2,000 servants back then.

"Okay, the matter is settled. Yang Guozhu, the general of Xuanfu, led his troops to Datong to clear the rebellion. I will go to see the emperor and report the opinions of the cabinet to the emperor to know." Ye Xianggao made the final decision and did not give Han Du the chance to continue speaking.

The expression on Han Yu's face was very ugly.

Most people in the cabinet supported the use of military force against the tiger flag, and knew that even if he opposed it, it would be useless, but Ye Xianggao directly ignored his suggestions, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Ye Xianggao did not care whether Han Yu was happy. After leaving the cabinet, he walked towards Huangji Palace alone.

In the afternoon, the apocalypse's will was sent to the cabinet.

The tiger-like flag plotted against the rebellion because it was an enemy of the old Zhu family. For the sake of the long-lasting country of the old Zhu family, Tianqi would not object to the opinions given by the cabinet, and agreed to send troops to Datong by Yang Guozhu, the general of the Xuanfu.

The official documents of the Ministry of War were sent to Xuanfu overnight.

The shop with the tiger flag in the capital has been sealed, and Wang Zixing and others have also gone from open to dark, and like most people, they are lurking in the capital.

But he was not idle either, and news from the court was constantly sent out by him.
