After just a few months of the current situation in the eastern region, Zhu Gaoxu has lost the three prefectures of Huai'an, Yangzhou and Luzhou. All the areas on the north bank of the Yangtze River (Yangtze River) were taken back by the court. Zhu Gaoxu has completely lost the initiative in the war. His only way is to try to use the Great Jin Ting to almost block the attack of the Jingying.
But in this knockout match, just like Zhang Ning's opinion, there is no hope of winning just by defense.
Xuande and Zhu Zhanji have moved six departments and headquarters to Yangzhou and are actively preparing to cross the river to fight.
But when the main battlefield was in a good mood, Huguang's memorials and several secret memorials cast a shadow on Zhu Zhanji's heart.
He thought Zhu Yong would be stronger than ordinary military generals, and he was a noble with a status, so he looked down on Zhang Ning very much when he asked Zhu Yong to suppress the rebellion. Now it seems that he still looked down on Zhang Ning or looked down on Zhu Yong.
Zhu Zhanji had just ascended the throne for more than a year, and his impression of elders such as Zhu Yong was only found in paper materials and the mouths of others, and he did not have many opportunities to personally identify them.
Regarding Zhu Yong's handling, Zhu Zhanji thought it should not be too heavy, and he should focus on beating.
In addition to being a hero, Zhu Zhanji was also very satisfied with the memorials after the war. Although he failed, his words did not deliberately deceive the new king.
According to the secret memorials of eunuchs and Jinyiwei, it basically matches Zhu Yong's official memorials, but the wording is different.
Zhu Zhanji summarized the memorial information in his hand and believed that the reason for Zhu Yong's failure was that he could not use people, and his own mistakes were the main ones; in addition, he underestimated the enemy and did not understand the opponent.
Zhu Zhanji himself did not expect that the fighting power of a group of remnants who were attracted by a criminal official would be so strong after he ran away.
In the past few days, the censor began to impeach Zhu Yong. The statement was not because he was defeated, but because he persecuted the family of the Shimen magistrate without the judicial department's decision.
Zhu Zhanji believed that those censors had never known each other, but many people still stood up to fight against the heroes and nobles.
These people have gained a reputation for integrity and justice on the surface, but in Zhu Zhanji's view, the main reason is that they belong to the imperial examination literati.
Civil servants have shown very strong potential, and they will twist into a rope under an invisible thing.
Zhu Zhanji was unable to do so, saying that there was no real evidence to prove that Zhu Yong persecuted the family of the Shimen magistrate, and then sent someone to investigate, but he did not want to fulfill the intention of the censors to take the blame.
The emperor's thoughts were clear and he dealt with the seemingly complex internal disputes, and now he had to reconsider how to deal with the new important rebel Zhang Ning.
Zhang Ning's threat was not as great as the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu, and his foundation for the uprising was even more different.
But Zhu Zhanji cannot ignore it now, and he will not wait until the Han King is pacified before he can fight Zhang Ning with all his strength. He must strike now.
Zhang Ning's current situation is essentially different from his situation a few months ago; he used to be a bandit, but now he has a foundation with one prefecture and several counties.
As an emperor, the general way to deal with problems is to use the right person.
Zhu Zhanji believes that for example, Zhu Yong and other military generals have great limitations in taking charge of major affairs in one side. In order to prevent the formation of warlords, military generals should not have too much military power; the person in charge of the overall situation is best for civil servants.
Although Zhu Zhanji was alert to the expansion of civil servants' power, he began to reuse the eunuchs' checks and balances during the Yongle period, civil servants still played the most important role in imperial affairs and had to be reused, and there was almost no choice.
Xuande had many civil officials and ministers under him, but he discovered a talent with keen goal: Yu Qian.
Yu Qian is currently the Inspector Censor of the Southern Zhili. Although his rank is low, it is very consistent with the official rules to promote the Inspector Censor.
Zhu Zhanji not only believed that Yu Qian was able to do good things, but also gave him an opportunity to experience and qualifications, and cultivate a group of talent reserves for the future court, and would not rely too much on veterans with deep roots.
Yu Qian was a Jinshi in the 19th year of Yongle, and was a member of Yang Shiqi.
At the end of Yongle, he entered Zhu Zhanji's sight. When he arrived at the Battle of Huai'an, he went to the enemy camp to persuade him to surrender. Zhu Zhanji admired his courage and momentum. Later, he served as the inspector of the Southern Zhili Censor, inspected the three prefectures, and boldly wrote ten memorials with very realistic content. In Zhu Zhanji's view, he was very useful in the policy of restoring the rule of the north bank of the Yangtze River.
A person's ability is really not something that can be replaced by qualifications. Some people's qualifications are still mediocre even if the elders of the three dynasties have experienced countless storms and waves.
Emperor Xuande felt that his thinking was not wrong.
Of course, it seems that Yu Qian and Zhang Ning are a bit of a friendship, and even Yang Shiqi and Zhang Ning have made unusual friendships; but Zhu Zhanji quickly felt relieved. Yang Shiqi and Yu Qian could not have any collusion with Zhang Ning anymore. If the court ministers do not do it, what reason do they have to collude with someone who has already rebeled?
Emperor Xuande summoned Yu Qian on the bank of Beicheng River in Yangzhou (later Slender West Lake).
On the bright moonlit night of the Twenty-Four Bridges, where can the jade man teaches to play the flute?
As soon as Yu Qian walked outside the water pavilion, he heard the emperor chanting his predecessors.
When the emperor was distinguishing Yu Qian as a talent, Yu Qian also examined the king and father in his heart.
This emperor is by no means simple. He is well-read in poetry and books, and has great Confucianism to teach adults, but he has his own thoughts and is not bound by the thoughts of literati.
Yu Qian knelt on the ground outside the pavilion where the Han generals were lined with five steps and said loudly: "I am a gentle minister, the Southern Zhili Censor Yu Qian, who is the inspector of the Southern Zhili, bowed to the emperor long live."
Speaking to the censor.
Zhu Zhanji sat on a chair and said leisurely.
Tea and exquisite desserts are placed on the stone table, with birds singing and flowers singing around them, and beautiful landscapes.
No matter what, it is impossible to see that this is the center of hundreds of thousands of troops.
When Yu Qian came up, he said again: Give him a seat.
I thank the emperor for his kindness.
Yu Qian said hurriedly, he already felt that he was going to be reused again.
Generally, those who can sit in front of the emperor are very old veterans. Zhu Zhanji said that giving Yu Qian a seat was an extraordinary courtesy.
Yu Qian could only sit gently on one corner of the stone bench, and his butt was slightly close to him, and he didn't dare to confirm it. This posture was really tiring than standing, but he felt very comfortable.
Zhu Zhanji has always been quick-witted and no matter how complicated the problem people think, he can always cut the mess and deal with it quickly.
He immediately said: In the past two years, there has been a precedent for the right assistant minister of various departments to serve as local governors. If I ask you to serve as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War and inspect the Huguang area, what do you think?
After thinking for a moment, Yu Qian immediately understood the main task of this job, which was to quell the rebellion; as Yang Shiqi's disciple and a powerful official in the capital, he was simply aware of the current affairs of the world, and Yu Qian could not have known about Zhu Yong's defeat in Huguang.
He immediately said: Report to the emperor, I thought that if the position of governor and governor was temporarily established in Huguang, a good general and a general of the Jinyiwei should be sent to calm down the situation.
Zhu Zhanji nodded, very satisfied with Qian's words.
The governor is not a military and political leader who is separating the local government, but a temporary agency that needs to be set up. Sometimes it is sometimes withdrawn, and those who take office are all officials in Beijing. Yu Qian expressed his intention to share the worries of the emperor and do practical things, rather than like power.
Zhu Zhanji signaled him to continue speaking.
Yu Qian also said: The criminal rebel Zhang Ning killed our official army. To quell the rebellion, it should be the primary task of Huguang, and a good general is needed; at the same time, Huguang should also prepare for the Han King in advance.Therefore, it is necessary to set up a governor and coordinate all parties.Weichen has read the memorial of Duke Cheng, which said that the rebels used new firearms and tactics, so Weichen thought that they should try their best to find out their opponents. The Nanzhen Fushi Department is not only good at inquiring about military information, but also has the position of developing firearms. It should be safe to handle the matter by the Jinyiwei.
Zhu Zhanji said: If you recommend a good general to me, who will go the best?
The empress recommends the Marquis of Wuyang.Yu Qian said simply.
The Marquis of Wuyang Xue Lu, a military general who followed Zhu Di to raise an army during the Jingnan Campaign; during the Yongle Dynasty, he was granted a marquis with a salary of 1,500 stones, and was posthumously awarded the title of marquis for three generations and was given imperial coupons.
In the Battle of Zhending, Li Jian, the left deputy general, fell off his horse and captured alive; in the Battle of Yongping, he quickly rushed to conquer Daning, Fuyu, Huizhou, Kuanhe and other places; in the Battle of Shanjiaqiao, he successively captured Shunde, Daming, Zhangde, and Xishuizhai, and captured Hua Ying, the commander of the capital alive, and then took advantage of the victory to capture Dong'e, Dongping and Wenshang; in the Battle of Feihe, Xiaohe, Lingbi...
This person is a bit worse than the British Duke Zhang Fu. A while ago, there was a joke in the army that when the King of Han was in Le'an, he heard that the Marquis of Wuyang Xue Lu came to suppress the rebellion and laughed. Later, he heard that it was British Duke Zhang Fu, so he ran to Nanjing. However, Zhang Fu could not leave the Nanjing Battle to go to Huguang.
Xue Lu and Zhu Neng are much inferior to each other, so Zhu Neng and his descendants can be granted the title of Duke, but he is just a marquis; the difference is that Duke Cheng Zhu Yong's high position was only because of his father, and Xue Lu's title was actually achieved from the real sword and gun battle in the Jingnan Battle...
Of course, the one who made greater contributions in the Jingnan Campaign and had greater prestige in the army was King Zhu Gaoxu.
So Yu Qian didn't care about the rumored chuckling at Xue Lu, and did not hesitate when recommending it.
Zhu Zhanji was also happy and nodded immediately and said: Let Xue Lu go to the general Huguang army.Who do you recommend in the Jinyiwei?
Yu Qian hurriedly said: The Wei minister and the military general (the Jinyiwei also belonged to the military general) had no contact, and the recommendation of the Marquis of Wuyang was only heard of his affairs.But in the Jinyiwei, the ministers were not very clear about it, and the emperor had to decide it himself.
There was only one emperor, but there were countless people who maintained the operation and rule of the state machine. If the emperor wanted to control these people, checks and balances were inevitable.
Yu Qian cannot say that he has formed eunuchs and Jinyiwei inside and famous generals outside. What do you want to do?
Zhu Zhanji pondered for a moment: Shangshu Lu happened to be in the palace, he was from the Fusi of Nanzhen.Now I can ask him to ask, and I will come to Xuannan Town Fufu Department to come here.
The name of Lu Shangshu is Lu Shangshu, but it is not the real Shangshu. This guy is a martial artist, but he has this funny name.
The Lu Zhengshi is not an ordinary person who can be seen by the emperor. He will speak one by one: he sneaked into the enemy to inquire about military information. He has also done it in Mongolia. This is one of them. Second, I dare to make a statement. Since the rebels have powerful firearms, where did he get it?Could it be that in just a short time a person who reads sages and tests his fame knows astronomy and geography?I think this matter must be found out.
But in this knockout match, just like Zhang Ning's opinion, there is no hope of winning just by defense.
Xuande and Zhu Zhanji have moved six departments and headquarters to Yangzhou and are actively preparing to cross the river to fight.
But when the main battlefield was in a good mood, Huguang's memorials and several secret memorials cast a shadow on Zhu Zhanji's heart.
