I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 236: Pointed to be handsome
The first year of Yongzheng.

Beijing.

Some minor personnel changes occurred in the Manchu Qing center.

Zhang Tingyu and the others have returned to Beijing. Bai Huang, Minister of the Ministry of War (Han Dynasty), has lived up to expectations, resigned from office, and returned home to take care of himself.

Zhang Tingyu was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War (Han Dynasty) and took over Bai Huang's trap. Zhabi Na was transferred from the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs (Manchu) to the Minister of the Ministry of War (Manchu). Xunzhu, the former Minister of the Ministry of War (Manchu), was transferred to the Ministry of Official Affairs (Manchu) Shangshu.

Among the four people who were promoted or dismissed, only Xunzhu really won.

He changed the position from the Minister of the Ministry of War to the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. It seemed that it was just a normal adjustment, but the Ministry of Personnel was the first of the six.Especially when Yongzheng established the Military Aircraft Department, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs became the favorites, and the military aircraft minister was the first choice.

The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry had no chance of selection and were directly reduced to the sewers of the six ministries.

Yongzheng was convening Zhang Tingyu and other key cabinet ministers for a meeting in Qianqing Palace.

Yongzheng didn't like to talk nonsense and got straight to the point: "When will the people be able to prepare all the food and grass?"

Zhang Tingyu quickly replied: "For your information, Your Majesty, it is estimated that wheat harvesting in various state capitals will begin at the end of April. Coupled with grain transportation from Huguang, it should be in place by the end of May."

Being in place at the end of May means that it will take at least six months to send out troops.

Yong Zheng frowned slightly, but still said: "We must not make any mistakes."

Since Zhang Tingyu said the end of May, that's almost the time.

Although Yongzheng was not very capable in military affairs, he was not Chongzhen. He only knew how to urge. He urged until Hong Chengchou was surrounded and finally surrendered. He urged Sun Chuanting to rush to send troops and died on the battlefield...

The closer it gets to this time, the less likely it is to push. Once pushed, something will easily go wrong.

Zhang Tingyu cupped his hands and said, "I obey your order."

Yongzheng added: "Cha Aiqing also needs to work harder!"

"My slave obeys the order." Zha Qiangna followed suit and held his hands.

Ma Qi suddenly said: "Your Majesty, it is now March of Yangchun. Longkodo, the governor of the six provinces, may have sent troops in advance. Should we quickly send a special envoy south to inform him?"

Inform what?Tell the court that they can't send troops together, and the talks in Guangdong have collapsed, so let them be more careful!
Yongzheng thought seriously for a moment, shook his head and said: "No need, Long Aiqing has already sent out troops, and the left and right are just staggered by two months. Let Long Aiqing advance troops first to weaken the enemy's spirit. When troops are sent out in May, the north and south will attack together, and Jiangnan will be fake. It must be destroyed with a snap of the fingers.”

"...My Emperor, Holy Ming!"

After Ma Qi heard this, he was silent for a moment. While shouting for the Holy Spirit, his heart suddenly felt cold.

You are indeed extremely mean and ungrateful today!

Longcodona was an old minister of the emperor's residence, so he just gave up?
It's nothing more than a two-month stagger, but it's just a deliberate attempt to let Longkodo send troops first, to test the truth behind the fake news, and at the same time to weaken his strength.

After all, Longkodo has been the governor of the south for too long. Previously, Yongzheng ignored Longkodo's crime of being a "landless governor" and instead added the title of governor of six provinces including Huguang and Southwest China, which is also here.

By then, regardless of victory or defeat, Longkodo will be beaten to death in Jiangnan.

The emperor was already suspicious of these former ministers who had stayed in the residence.

Ma Qi thought about this, but became more and more afraid to say anything.

As a bachelor in the cabinets of Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties, and with the ivy in the Qing Dynasty, how could it be just a non-stick pan?

If it were a simple non-stick pan, Kangxi would never tolerate him.

It's just that Ma Qi saw through Yong Zheng's character, that he was mean and ungrateful, ruthless, had no sand in his eyes, and was very suspicious.

If the pot is not non-stick, is it possible to unload the grinding mill and kill the donkey for Yongzheng, and then chop it after use?

The non-stick pan also means that there are no mistakes or omissions. Even if you are forcibly charged, it will be nothing more than dismissal from office.

Yongzheng didn't know what Ma Qi was thinking. After discussing the time for dispatching troops, he still had to determine a commander to lead the troops.

There's nothing to say about this. In the early years of Yongzheng's reign, the military commanders were transferred, and Zhang Guangsi was still numb in Guizhou by Governor Gao Qizhuo's tricks.

Yue Zhongqi was controlling the northwest army in Sichuan, but he was also unable to leave, and his talents had not yet been fully demonstrated.

Nian Gengyao has already made a name for himself, but Yongzheng didn't dare to use it!

It's not that he is difficult to control...well, there are some reasons for this, but the more reason is that Northwest can't do without Nian Gengyao.Only he can suppress the domineering generals and armies in the northwest. If he runs back, the northwest will easily lose control unless the entire army is mobilized back.

But not to mention that Yongzheng did not have that much food to supply the Northwest Army. Even if the Northwest Army only took half of it, it might cause serious consequences.

Don’t think that because the Junggar people are being held down and beaten by the Qing Dynasty now, they feel that they are no longer good.

Kangxi was not full of food, so he deployed 20 troops in the northwest.

Moreover, there is not only Junggar in the northwest, but also Luobuzangdanjin in Qinghai.

This guy rebelled in the early years of Yongzheng's reign, with as many as 13 troops participating in the war. It took Nian Gengyao a lot of effort to get it done.

Whenever Yongzheng dares to mobilize [-] Northwest troops, Qinghai and Junggar will immediately rebel and counterattack.

The Qinghai Mongols had a grudge against the Manchus, because the Qinghai Mongols wanted Kangxi to grant them the title of Khan, but they were rejected.

"Zhang Wenhuan was born in the military. In the past, he fought with the Holy Ancestor in Junggar, and won three battles and three victories. He also served as governor of Yunnan and Guizhou twice. He is familiar with civil affairs and can be a commander." Zhang Tingyu recommended him immediately.

Since he is a benchmark for Hanchen, he naturally has to be based on this persona.

On the side, Prince Yi Yunxiang held a different opinion: "Although Zhang Wenhuan was born in the army, he has been away from the army for a long time. At present, he only commands a few thousand Cao troops to suppress the Bagua religious bandits. In contrast, Jueluo Manbao leads the Zhili army. He has put down many rebellions, and he has also fought against the pseudo-ming, so he should have some experience, and I think this person may be a commander."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Tuan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up and said: "What Prince Yi said is wrong. Jueluo Manbao is just a general of a defeated army. He can lead troops to suppress the rebellion. It is a special favor from the Holy One. How can he be asked to command the army going south again?" ?”

As soon as Wang Juan, a troublemaker like him, came out, he immediately started talking.

The three of them held their own opinions and soon began to fight with each other.

Even Song Zhu, Xiao Yongzao and others, who had been silent, intervened to show their presence.

Seeing that these people expressed their opinions and disrupted his previous arrangements, Yong Zheng couldn't help but frown and felt helpless.

If it wasn't to appease his old ministers and win people's hearts, why would he promote such a troublesome thing like Wang Nian?

No wonder Khan Amma wanted to force his son to join the army in place of his father, and deliberately ignored and scolded Wang Juan. He must have been really annoyed.

After all, anyone will be irritated if a shit stick dances in their ears every day.

Fortunately, Ma Qi seemed to see what Yong Zheng was thinking. After thinking about it, he finally spoke up and said, "Your Majesty, what Wang Ge Lao, Zhang Shangshu, and Prince Yi said are all reasonable. Why don't we find a compromise?" Zhang Wenhuan is the commander-in-chief and Jueluo Manbao is the deputy chief?"

"Jueluo Manbao is inexperienced, so there will inevitably be omissions. However, Zhang Wenhuan has been in the battlefield for a long time and has been in politics in Yunnan and Guizhou for ten years. He is mature and prudent and can be chosen as the commander. Even if there are difficulties, the leader and deputy can be in front of the battle." Let’s discuss it.”

These words are both a compromise and a reminder to Yongzheng that the slaves know that Jueluo Manbao is yours, but a defeated general will never be able to convince the crowd, so being a deputy commander is enough.

Don't expect too much, the most important thing now is to choose someone who can stabilize the morale of the army.

"In that case, as Ma Aiqing said, Zhang Wenhuan will be the commander-in-chief of the march south, and Jueluo Manbao will be the deputy commander-in-chief. That's it. I have made my decision and there is no need to discuss it further." Yongzheng thought for a while and finally compromised.

Zhang Wenhuan, just Zhang Wenhuan!

The main reason is that there is really no one to choose, and there are only two people who can be used, Jueluo Manbao and Zhang Wenhuan.

Jueluo Manbao thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed inappropriate.

This was exposed when he was asked to lead troops to quell the rebellion. The Zhili army was okay and could still suppress it.

The northwest Qing troops mobilized behind, as well as the Shengjing Sauron soldiers, were completely unable to suppress them.

This is also the reason why Liu Ruhan was able to escape unscathed after a head-on collision with the Northwest Army and the Sauron Army.

Because these Qing troops were unwilling to pursue Liu Ruhan after defeating him. Not only would they lose a lot of money by pursuing them in the deep mountains and old forests, there would be little benefit to gain.

The most important thing is that it's too cold.

And this Zhang Wenhuan was not only born in the army, but also from Ningxia, Gansu Province. He also belonged to the Northwest Qing Army system, and he should be able to control the tens of thousands of Northwest Army and Sauron soldiers.

Alas, my only fault is that I have no one available now. The available people are either not yet emerging, or they are unable to do anything without permission. If they do, big problems will arise.

Yongzheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
