Chapter Forty-Second
In the 43rd year of Jiajing, Zhang Juzheng entered the palace Youchunfang Youyude and the Imperial College. Later, under the arrangement of Xu Jie, he became the attendant of King Yu Zhu Zai'an, which also established the founding of the chief minister of Wanli after Zhang Juzheng.
road.
In the same year, Tan Yunchuan, the soldiers stationed in Zhelin, rebelled and rebelled due to a shortage of food and wages, and invaded Guangzhou. He first defeated the general Tang Kekuan and burned his ship. Later, he was the admiral Wu Guifang, and the general Tang Kekuan of Guangzhou was attacked inside and outside, beheading more than a thousand. As a result, Tan Yunchuan
Arrested and built in the city.
Wu Ping, a native of the four capitals of Zhao'an, gathered more than 10,000 people to build hundreds of warships across Nan'ao, and between Wu'ao. He once captured the villages of Chaoyang Shenshan, Gucheng, Huilai Zhupu, Shuangxi and other villages, and camped in Meiling.
In February, the remaining Japanese in Xinghua, Fujian gathered more than 10,000 people again and besieged Xianyou County for three days.
The imperial court appointed Qi Jiguang as the general to lead troops to support Xianyou, and fought with the Japanese in the city. The Japanese were defeated and fled to Tong'an. Qi Jiguang rushed to Wangcangping, beheaded hundreds of times, and fell into the cliffs and valleys. Thousands of Japanese fled to Zhangpu
Qi Jiguang, the county's Caipiling. He divided his troops into five sentries to attack. He led his short troops and climbed up the cliff barefoot. Japanese ambushed soldiers rose everywhere. Qi Jiguang became more and more brave as he fought. He supervised the sentry to fight to the death, rushed into the Japanese nest, and captured hundreds of them.
A few escapees flowed into Guangdong and took fishing boats to sea.
At this point, the Japanese strickenness in Fujian has temporarily subsided.
...
This year, the Ming Dynasty did not stabilize because of Yan Song's fall. On the contrary, the turmoil seemed to be more intense than before, and it is not ruled out that these were all done by Yan Song's remaining party.
However, compared with the above incidents, the Mongolian side made Yan Song even more troubled.
As if he had received the message that Yan Song had been sentenced to death, on the third day of Yan Song's rebellion, the Mongolian Prince Alar sent troops in the name of Altan and advanced to the Ming Dynasty. In less than three days, he came to Datong, Shanxi again to burn.
Killing and looting caused sorrow all over the world.
At the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Jiajing sat upright with a calm expression and frowned with deep eyebrows, as if he had encountered something very difficult.
In fact, it was because Zhengyao took a team of Jinyiwei to find the whereabouts of Ning An and others for two days, but there was still no news yet; secondly, all the civil and military officials in front of the palace all looked calm.
, an invisible breath of depression dissipated.
"If you have something to report, you will leave the court without anything to do-"
The voice of Eunuch An, who replaced Eunuch Meng, seemed to be louder and sharper. He stood up and waved the whisk, and the quiet Hall of Supreme Harmony was instantly broken.
Eunuch An just finished speaking. Xu Jie immediately collapsed to the left and then bowed and said, "Come to the emperor, Shanxi came to report, Mongolian Altan led a large army to invade our Ming Dynasty territory, burn, kill, loot, and do everything. The front line is here
In an emergency, I also asked the emperor to issue an order to send troops to reinforce to drive the Tartars!"
"This matter is of great importance, Prince Jing. What are your suggestions?"
Jiajing nodded and then looked at King Jing.
In fact, Jiajing's heart is very confused now. He no longer has his own opinions and asks him to analyze the problem. He begins to repel it in his heart.
Upon hearing this, King Jing immediately took a step right, bowed and said, "Returning to the emperor, Shanxi is urgent and urgent. I think that Lord Xu is saying very much, and you can send troops to provide assistance if you need it!"
"Since that's the case, who do you think will lead the army to the general?"
Jiajing asked after chasing the voice. Then he glanced at the civil and military officials in front of the hall.
Although Jiajing had no intention of these incidents, he knew that after the successful quell of rebellion, Qi Jiguang immediately rushed back to Fujian to continue to fight against the Japanese, and Liu Xian and Yu Dayou also returned to the garrison to lead troops to train or kill the remaining party.
So there are really no generals in the court now that they can be appointed. If they had only planned to summon Qi Jiguang and others to Shanxi for rescue, the letter would have been delayed for a long time, so naturally they would not work.
In this way, it is indeed a difficult question for who will lead the army.
After Jiajing said this, the civil and military officials of His Highness lowered their heads again, as if they were unwilling to speak.
Looking at the entire court, most of them were civil servants. It was natural that they could not help but lead troops to fight. The military officers they were all old men. Isn’t it just like going to the battlefield like dying? Originally, Zhengyao, Liu Yan, Liang Yu and others were barely able to do so.
They have the spirit of a general and can serve, but they have not returned since looking for Ning'an.
Faced with such situations, it is reasonable that no one stands up.
After a long time, seeing that everyone was indifferent, King Jing couldn't help but look up and said, "Your Majesty, if the emperor does not have a suitable candidate, I can recommend one person."
"Oh? I might as well say anything if my brother has any suggestions!"
King Jing said: "In terms of qualifications and abilities, there is one person who can compare with the prince consort, Liu Yan, Liang Yu and others. This person is the second-largest man in the past, and is currently the commander of the Imperial Guardians. "
"Fang Yuyang?"
Jiajing was surprised and seemed to have no impression of this person.
"Yes, the emperor! In fact, I have another thing to tell you. This time, I can quell the rebellion in one fell swoop and put Yan Song in the law. Fang Yuyang, the commander of the Imperial Army, made great contributions! Over the years, he has been lurking by Yan Song to be able to at the last moment
Suddenly turning against each other caught Yan Song off guard.”
King Jing nodded and immediately said, his words were full of praise from the other party Yuyang.
Not to mention Jiajing, even Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng and others were confused by what King Jing said, and were also surprised.
I really didn't expect that in addition to Yan Yuan beside Yan Song, even Fang Yuyang was the one who was deliberately arranged by King Jing to Yan Song. I have to say that King Jing took great pains to defeat Yan Song!
No wonder when Yan Song's army attacked the city, he never saw Fang Yuyang. It turned out that he was originally the King Jing, so he naturally would not rebel with Yan Song. As for where he was at that time, it is unknown.
Two chess pieces were placed next to Yan Song at once, but Yan Song didn't know at all, not knowing whether it was Yan Song's carelessness or King Jing's power. However, one thing is certain, in the battle of scheming and conspiracy, King Jing once again
Win Jiajing.
And it gives people the feeling that King Jing should be more than that. There are two people who say it, so how many people are still secretly monitoring Yan Song's every move? This is also an unknown number.
"Haha! OK! OK! OK!" Jiajing suddenly slapped his thighs and shouted three times, then said with joy: "I didn't expect that King Jing was so far-sighted. I think Yan Song would be extremely good after he knew about it.
I was ashamed! I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, okay! Since it was highly recommended by the emperor, it would be accurate! Eunuch An immediately drafted an order to order Fang Yuyang to attack the Grand Marshal Meng, and to go to war immediately!"
"Slow down—"
Just as Jiajing finished speaking excitedly and was preparing to approve King Jing's proposal, he saw King Jing suddenly shouting again, and then his stunned eyes fell on King Jing's body again.
He actually shouted slowly in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and intentionally interrupted the emperor. How rebellious this is. What a matter of King Jing?
When Jiajing heard Prince Jing's shouting, although he did not show any dissatisfaction on his face, he couldn't help feeling a little unhappy. Fortunately, Jiajing's ability to adjust and disguise was also very strong, so he looked at him with disregard.
King Jing.
Then Jiajing asked interestingly: "What else does King Jing have to do?"
After all, King Jing still has some intention of not giving Jiajing face. As the king of a country, face has always been the most important thing. Even if there is nothing on his face, he still has a bump in his heart, so in terms of tone,
Jiajing seems a little different.
King Jing is a smart man. When he heard Jiajing ask this, he already understood that Jiajing was already dissatisfied with him, so he immediately bowed and said earnestly: "Please forgive me for your crime. I am so anxious that I am just now..."
"Haha, the emperor brother doesn't need to be so panic. I didn't blame you, why do you blame yourself?"
He smiled pretendingly, Jiajing seemed very generous.
King Jing smiled slightly. Then he slowly raised his head and looked at Jiajing and said, "Actually, because I felt that there was something wrong with me, I wanted to ask the emperor to listen to me and then draw an imperial edict."
"Oh? There is something wrong? What's wrong with me? Come and tell me quickly!"
"It's like this when you go back to the emperor. Although Fang Yuyang has good abilities and is loyal to the emperor and patriotism, he has not yet had the ability to serve as a marshal. Therefore, my brother believes that the emperor should appoint others as a marshal."
“Appoint someone else?”
Not only Jiajing, but also the civil and military officials in the court began to feel confused again.
Isn’t this a contradiction between King Jing? He said he wanted to recommend one person before, so he pushed Fang Yuyang out, saying that he was capable and experienced enough, and he made great contributions in quelling the rebellion. However, when Jiajing was about to appoint him as the marshal
At that time, he suddenly turned a big turn and said that Fang Yuyang did not have the ability.
He told him to tell me what he was doing? Does he also want to learn from Yan Song's style of calling the wind and rain in the court and referring to a deer as a horse?
For a moment, the originally quiet Hall of Supreme Harmony slowly began to talk. Gradually, the sound became more and more noisy, and the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony seemed to have become a vegetable market.
"stop!"
Jiajing knocked on the table in front of him and shouted softly. Then the Palace of Supreme Harmony immediately returned to Ning Jing. The Chinese civil and military officials looked at each other without saying a word.
"King Jing!" After a moment, Jiajing spoke again, but it was obvious that Jiajing was dissatisfied, so he called the word "King Jing" instead of the previous emperor's brother.
"My brother is here!"
King Jing didn't know why Jiajing called him, so he instinctively responded.
Jiajing then asked, "I just say what you mean. I believe that all civil and military officials also feel it is difficult to understand your words."
Upon hearing this, King Jing immediately said, "Return to the emperor, I think Li Zhengyao should be appointed as the commander, and Fang Yuyang should be the general. Fang Yuyang should be the best strategy!"
"Li Zhengyao? Isn't he the prince-consort? But the prince-consort has not come back yet!"
"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry. I believe that the prince consort will come back soon. It's better to let Fang Yuyang go to Shanxi first. It's not too late to go after the prince consort comes back. After all, the prince consort has had a fight with Mongolia, so he should be very familiar with the situation in Mongolia.
The prince-consort is smart and brave, and he is the best choice for the marshal!"
King Jing said truthfully, it seems that he still admires Zhengyao that way.
Chapter completed!
