Prince of Chaos

Chapter 121 Qi Family Army

Yang Junmin aggrievedly accepted Emperor Wanli's criticism, but these criticisms still couldn't get a tael of silver from the household department's treasury.

Emperor Wanli looked at Yang Junmin's appearance, and was so angry that he wanted to walk on the ground.

At this time, the four cabinet ministers were like four clay statues, as if what Emperor Wanli was talking about had nothing to do with them.

They quietly waited for the final result of Emperor Wanli.

Just when Emperor Wanli had scolded enough, he was angry.

Emperor Wanli seemed to accept his fate, "Forget it, this world is still my world, who will let me be the father of the world's subjects? I will pay the money!"

When Emperor Wanli said a word, it was as painful as a knife gouging out his own flesh and blood. The money was all saved by him!

Emperor Wanli said: "First, 50 taels of silver will be used from my internal funds to suppress the rebellion in Ningxia. Remember to return it to me when the household department collects the tax money for the next year."

After hearing what Emperor Wanli said, the four elders of the cabinet, Minister of the Household Department Yang Junmin and Minister of the Ministry of War Shi Xing saluted Emperor Wanli excitedly: "My emperor is holy!"

Shengming?Can you not be holy?They all saved the country with their own private money.

However, Emperor Wanli did not know that in the original historical time and space, since he started this initiative, the other major expeditions in the future will all be funded from his internal funds, and the Ministry of Households has never returned one or two dollars. silver.

After his death, Emperor Taichang, who had just ascended the throne, also spent several million taels of his savings in the form of issuing the late emperor's edict!This is really a pity that I don't feel bad about selling my grandfather!

Just when the six ministers in the Qianqing Palace were praising the Wanli Emperor's sage, Zhu Changluo began to interject. He had almost seen this good show.Time to start his show.

Zhu Changluo looked at Emperor Wanli, who was so distressed by the silver, Zhu Changluo said, "Father, my son has a proposal."

Emperor Wanli was caring about his money, so he didn't pay attention to what Zhu Changluo said.

Emperor Wanli said casually: "Speak, what's your suggestion?"

Zhu Changluo said: "Father, my son's Xishan Huangzhuang has a little surplus these years, and I am willing to hand it over to my father to conquer the rebels in Ningxia. Moreover, Xishan Huangzhuang now supports many idlers, so my son intends to let him They were also included in the team to suppress the rebels, and let them deliver food and grass for the army, so as to save the army's expenses."

After Emperor Wanli heard Zhu Changluo finished speaking, his eyes instantly burst into light of hope.

Emperor Wanli asked, "How much money is there in Xishan Huangzhuang?"

Emperor Wanli looked at Zhu Changluo expectantly, and even Shen Shixing and the others couldn't help but look at Zhu Changluo, because they all knew that the Immortal Happy Water of Xishan Huangzhuang was very famous, and now it sold well in the two capitals and thirteen provinces of Ming Dynasty, even outside the customs. It seems that there are vendors who smuggle this fairy happy water.

Zhu Changluo looked at the expectant eyes of everyone, and Zhu Changluo said: "Actually, Xishan Huangzhuang doesn't have much money, but there are more grains. Therefore, I want to donate these grains for the daily expenses of the conquest army."

After hearing this, Emperor Wanli let go of his expectations.

"That's right, it's true that Xishan Huangzhuang doesn't have much silver, and he sent all the silver to his internal funds for storage."

Emperor Wanli thought so, of course he couldn't say this, otherwise he would be despised by his subordinates and greedy for money.

Emperor Wanli said: "Alright, how much grain does Xishan Huangzhuang have?"

Zhu Changluo said: "No less than 100 million shi."

After hearing this number, Emperor Wanli was still shocked and couldn't help but gasped.

Although this 100 million shi of grain is not worth 100 million taels of silver, the effect of this 100 million shi of grain is definitely much greater than that of 100 million taels of silver.Especially when the large army conquered the traitors, the food consumed was huge. At this time, if you use money to buy food and send it to the front line, the cost will be more than doubled.

Therefore, Emperor Wanli said happily: "Well, well, well, he is worthy of being my good son. I agree."

After Zhu Changluo heard that Emperor Wanli had approved his request, Zhu Changluo immediately saluted Emperor Wanli: "Thank you, Father, for giving the son a chance."

At the same time, Shen Shixing and other ministers also saluted Zhu Changluo: "The prince is kind."

At this time, Zhu Changluo said again: "Father, my son still has a small request."

Emperor Wanli was in high spirits at this time, and Emperor Wanli said: "Your Majesty, just say it."

Zhu Changluo replied: "Yes."

Then Zhu Changluo continued: "Father, my son doesn't know about marching and fighting, but I know that food and grass are the guarantee of victory for the army! Therefore, in order for the food and grass to be safely transported to the front line, my son I boldly request that my son-in-law take over the responsibility of escorting the grain and grass, and under the supervision of my son-in-law, the grain and grass will be transported to the front line safely!"

As soon as Zhu Changluo said this, Shen Shixing and others immediately opposed it.

Shen Shixing immediately said to Emperor Wanli: "Your Majesty, you can't. The Crown Prince belongs to the country. How can he be released lightly? What's more, the Crown Prince is young and the northwest is bitterly cold. If something goes wrong, even if the ministers are smashed to pieces, they will not be able to atone for their sins." Just in case!"

After Emperor Wanli heard Shen Shixing's words, he looked at Zhu Changluo worriedly, and Emperor Wanli said: "Chang Luo, fighting is not a fun thing. I know you want to help me solve my problems, but the task of escorting food and grass is still for me. Let the military department make arrangements."

Zhu Changluo knew that this matter would definitely be opposed, but Zhu Changluo still insisted on it. Zhu Changluo continued: "No, father. The matter of escorting grain and grass is too important, and the 100 million stone grain and grass are leftovers from Xishan Huangzhuang's tight clothes and food. I'm worried about those who come down. That's why I thought of personally escorting the grain and grass to the front line and handing it over to the soldiers who fought bloody battles on the front line, so that they can feel the mighty grace of the emperor!"

Emperor Wanli said: "Chang Luo, I can understand your feelings. How about this, I personally arrange for manpower to escort the grain and grass to ensure that the grain and grass donated by Xishan Huangzhuang can be transported to the front line intact."

Zhu Changluo said: "My son, thank you, Father."

Then, Zhu Changluo didn't bother with this topic anymore, because Zhu Changluo knew that if Emperor Wanli personally arranged, then 100% of them would be escorted by eunuchs.

If it was escorted by eunuchs instead of the Ministry of War, then Zhu Changluo would have a lot of room to maneuver, because now Chen Ju and Sun Xian are the chief eunuchs who are loyal to him, and it is not all Zhu Changluo's words to arrange for someone to go ?
Therefore, Zhu Changluo didn't refuse, and just agreed.

As long as the Ministry of War is not involved.

After Shi Xing heard what Emperor Wanli said, he wanted to fight for it, but seeing the bloody Yang Junmin who had just been scolded, Shi Xing shut up wisely.

Because, in case something goes wrong with the food escort, he can't afford it.

What's more, the food and grass are still provided by Xishan Huangzhuang. If those soldiers eat and ask for cards, they will be distributed at the front line.That's what Shi Xing couldn't eat and walked around.

Therefore, if Shi Xing does not fight, the rest of the ministers are also embarrassed to fight. After all, they are not within their scope of authority. If they fight too much, they will easily be hated by others.

Now that the problem of the amount of money has been temporarily resolved, they began to discuss candidates for enlisting and suppressing the rebels.

At this time, a new round of performances began again.

Sure enough, the following script did not meet Zhu Changluo's expectations.

The person recommended by the cabinet is Wei Xuezeng, Minister of the Ministry of War. Of course, this Minister of the Ministry of War is not Shi Xing's Minister of the Ministry of War with real power.

Wei Xuezeng's Minister of the Ministry of War is the title of Minister of the Ministry of War specially added by the imperial court to the local governor in order to manage the local military affairs.

Now that Wei Xuezeng has been confirmed as the coach, this urgent counter-insurgency war will soon start.

At the same time, Zhu Changluo also accelerated his actions, because Zhu Changluo knew that the rebellion was put down too quickly.

This Qibai is not a qualified rebel expert. After he went down to 47 cities, he didn't know what was going on in his head. To Ningxia town.Since you don't want territory, why did you do it so aggressively?It's really confusing.

Of course, this may be the national weakness of the grassland people, they are good at fighting in the field and fighting with the wind.When it's time to defend the city, they won't be able to do this.

Therefore, one should not have too high an estimate of their strength.

However, at this time, the Ming court did not know that Qi Bai was so indiscriminate.Therefore, for the sudden outbreak of the Ningxia Battle, the Ming Dynasty still took it quite seriously.

Zhu Changluo also made a small suggestion at this time.

Zhu Changluo suggested: "Father, the traitors like Qi Bai and others are so cruel, and we can't take it lightly. I heard that there is a brave and capable army in Liaodong. They used to be Qi Jiguang's subordinates. I suggest that they also be sent Go to the Ningxia battlefield, and then use means to divide and conquer them, and digest them into an army of steel in the hands of the court."

As soon as Zhu Changluo said these words, the atmosphere in Qianqing Palace became condensed.

Qi Jiguang, this name is a taboo name in front of Emperor Wanli.Anyone who speaks well for him will definitely be hated by Emperor Wanli.

However, when Zhu Changluo said this, he did not say a good word for Qi Jiguang. Instead, he considered for the imperial court to split this rebellious army and control it in the imperial court.

Emperor Wanli was a little moved by this suggestion.

However, when thinking of the expenses of Qi Jiguang's army, Emperor Wanli still felt a little distressed.

Qi Jiguang's army is one of the most famous troops in Liaodong. They are no longer the traditional ancient cold weapon troops. Their firearm penetration rate has reached more than 50.00%, and the soldiers' salary is several times that of other ordinary soldiers. The military salary is as high as 47 taels of silver, which is more than a year's salary of a county magistrate.However, the treatment is much worse now.No one loves and no one loves, but in Liaodong, he is disgusted by others.

Emperor Wanli pondered for a while, and felt that it was no big deal, so he said, "Just follow the prince's wishes."

Therefore, Emperor Wanli issued a troop deployment order through the Ministry of War, ordering the Qi family army stationed in Liaodong to be transferred to the Ningxia theater in batches.

And Zhu Changluo naturally began to take advantage of this loophole, planning to find a way to get this mature army into his Xishan Huangzhuang.

After everything was prepared, the Battle of Ningxia under the decree of Emperor Wanli and supervised by the cabinet began.An imperial decree went straight to Wei Xuezeng, Governor of Shaanxi.

After Wei Xuezeng received the imperial edict of appointment, on March [-]th, as the coach, Wei Xuezeng began to order his generals to start acting according to the established military plan.

Wei Xuezeng sent his deputy general Li Wei to lead the guerrilla general Wu Xian to help Lingzhou, which is now Lingwu City in Gansu Province. However, there was no provincial administrative unit in Gansu at this time, and Lingzhou was under the jurisdiction of Shaanxi at this time.

After Li Yan and Wu Xian arrived in Lingzhou, they did not experience the bitter battle they imagined. When they arrived in Lingzhou and did not fight for a few rounds, they miraculously conquered Lingzhou.And the rebels entrenched in Lingzhou didn't know why their brains were cramping, and they retreated without a few resistances.

Therefore, Wei Xuezeng won the first battle, which greatly boosted the morale of the Ming army!
Then, Wei Xuezeng sent his guerrilla general Zhao Wu to Mingsha Prefecture (now Mingsha Town, Zhongning County, Ningxia). Wei Xuezeng asked Zhao Wu to follow the Yellow River to prevent the rebels from going south.

At the same time, Wei Xuezeng himself moved the commander's camp forward to Huamachi, blocking it in the middle, attracting firepower for Li Yan, Wu Xian, Zhao Wu and other generals, and entangled the main force of Qi Bai.

At the same time, Qi's army stationed in Liaodong also received orders from the west.
