Chapter 368 Think it's an opportunity
Chapter 368
Liu Daxia said angrily, "Liu Jin, how can you dirty me so much? I just didn't notice it for a while. I thought Chen Wei was also a shrewd old man, but he couldn't even suppress the mob. How could he completely add Chen Wei's pastance to my husband?
Liu Jin said coldly, "Many people have long reminded you to send people to supervise and suppress bandits. You have turned a deaf ear. What's wrong with you? As a superior, the fault of your subordinates is your fault. How can it be reasonable to see that you sincerely plead guilty, but instead pass the quibble?
Liu Daxia trembled angrily and pointed to Liu Jin and scolded, "Liu Jin, you are falling into the well!"
Jiao Fang said, "Lord Liu, pay attention to your words. The words of Duke Liu are reasonable. Why are you so disgruous? The emperor is still arguing so much in front of you. If the emperor is not here, you don't know how arrogant you are."
Liu Daxia almost fainted and said loudly, "Why did I quibble? Isn't it an attitude of admitting my mistakes when I ask for atonement? Are your men at fault? If your subordinates deliberately hide their faults, they will blame Shangguan. I'm afraid that all of them here are serious crimes.
Liu Jin saw that Liu Daxia was in a mess and didn't speak, but sneered.
Sure enough, Zhengde was angered by Liu Daxia's attitude and got up and scolded: "Liu Daxia, you are too presumptuous! If you make such a big mistake, you can't even accept words. More than 6,000 soldiers and horses of a guard belonging to your military department can't even calm down a small * under their jurisdiction. Do you still have the face to roar here? Do the millions of military dollars spent by the court every year make you raise this group of cowardly? What's not your fault?"
Liu Daxia turned pale with shock and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "I..."
Zhengde waved his hand and interrupted, "I don't need to say more. I don't want to hear you defend myself. In this civil unrest, the military department was mishandled, and Liu Daxia is even more suspected of bullying you, Liu Jin! Draft the decree immediately!"
Liu Jin said in a low voice, "I obey."
Zhengde took his hand and said, "The Ministry of War suppressed the bandits incompetence. Liu Daxia's dereliction of duty and quibated his duty. He immediately removed Liu Daxia's position as secretary of the Ministry of War and handed it over to Fusi Prison in North Town to investigate the use of his military expenses and his negligence."
Liu Daxia's body couldn't stand and was about to collapse. Zhang Mao, Li Dongyang and others here were also shocked. Unexpectedly, the emperor directly dismissed Liu Daxia from office. This punishment was too much. Everyone knows that Liu Daxia could not deliberately deceive the king. Although he had, he would not be punished so severely.
Li Dongyang couldn't help saying, "Your Majesty, troops are about to suppress bandits at this moment, and the Ministry of War still needs to preside over all kinds of affairs. Although Liu Shangshu has, why not postpone it and let him try his best to forgive his mistakes for the court?"
Xu Guangzuo said in a low voice, "Master Li, the governor of our five armies can bear the responsibility for suppressing thieves, and Mr. Zhang's Beijing camp can also be borne. Can we become headless if we leave the military headquarters?"
Li Dongyang wanted to refute, but Yang Ting and quietly pulled Li Dongyang's sleeves. Li Dongyang sighed and stopped talking.
Liu Daxia knew that it was irreparable today. The old man burst into tears, slowly took off his official hat, and knelt down and kowtowed to Zhengde. Zhengde turned around and did not look at him. Liu Daxia got up and slowly turned around, and his old figure slowly disappeared outside the imperial study.
Everyone was silent. Zhengde opened his mouth and was about to speak. Suddenly, there was a noise outside the door. An eunuch said loudly outside the study: "Fusun Xuan, Fusi Town, Jinyi Weinan Town, asked for a meeting."
Liu Jin frowned and said, "Didn't he just come in the afternoon? Why did you come to see me again? The emperor is discussing important matters and asking him to go back.
The eunuch said, "Sun Zhenfu said that Lord Song, the commander of Jinyiwei, sent an emergency military situation and had to be presented to the emperor."
The people in the room were suddenly shocked. At present, there was a letter from Song Nan on Zhengde's desk, and another one came half a day apart. The matter must be 100,000 urgent, otherwise Song Nan would not have been like this.
Sun Xuan quickly entered the study and knelt down. Zhengde split his head and asked, "Where's the letter?"
Sun Xuan quickly took out Song Nan's letter from his sleeve and presented it. Zhengde tore it open and sealed it three times, shook out the letterhead and quickly read it, and sat on the chair without saying anything.
Li Dongyang said, "Your Majesty, is it the news of Wen'an's thief soldiers?"
Zhengde woke up and said, "Liu Jin read it to all of you."
Liu Jin quickly took the letter and read it: "Your Majesty Wan'an, Song Nan arrived in Wen'an through the new town. Now he has led the Chenwei Department of Bazhou and led a thousand soldiers and horses to conquer Wen'an. This letter was sent by the government office of Wen'an County..."
Everyone was in an uproar. Song Nan actually led the remnants of Bazhou Guard and the thousand cavalry he brought to take down Wen'an easily. The situation suddenly became clear, and everyone's faces also showed smiles.
"However, after breaking through Wen'an, the minister knew that there were less than a thousand defenders in the city, and most of them were strong civilians driven by the thief soldiers. The main force of the thief soldiers was divided into two, one to attack Jinghai County in the southeast and Xiong County to the other to the west. According to the news, Xiong County has been lost, and Jinghai County is also difficult to avoid; both of the thief soldiers reached more than 3,000 people. , the strength should not be underestimated.
Everyone's bodies suddenly seemed to be poured down by a basin of ice water, and the smile they had just showed suddenly frozen.
"I judge that the intention of the thief soldiers is to attack the weak counties along the way, wrap up the local strong men, ** the people join the group and grow, and can fight to obtain supply and weapons and horses; in view of the heavy gathering of soldiers in the Beijing, I judge that the direction of the thief soldiers' attack must go south and enter the weak point of Shandong Lake and across our defense; The minister will set out to reinforce Xin'an County, Baoding Prefecture, and rush ahead of the thief soldiers in order to defend Xin'an County and cut off the road of the thief soldiers south on the West Road.
"In view of the effectiveness of the robbery, 7,000 people were trapped in Wen'an. It can be seen that the power will be greater after capturing other counties. Although it is a mob, it has become a climate, so I beg the emperor to send a large army to destroy it immediately. The consequences of letting the thieves dominate and soldiers are unimaginable, and the people will also suffer and need to be wiped out as soon as possible. Song Nanton bowed again.
A quiet needle in the study could be heard, and everyone sat there stunned, and their surprise. A small * finally caused a big trouble. On that day, Song Nan said in the court that there were many people present who had made a fuss about the prediction that could not be started. Now It seems that it is still confirmed.
Zhang Mao slowly said, "Your Majesty, the situation is not optimistic. We have to quickly mobilized troops and soldiers to go south. South of Shandong, the area of Huguang is a weak place for the imperial guard. The strength inland area is less than 10,000. Song Nan is right. Only by blocking it from going south and using the help of the heavy soldiers of the capital can it be destroyed, right? It's hard to clean up."
Zhengde said, "Who can go to the east and west? British prince, how about ordering Zhang Lun to lead the military camp to the East Road?
Before Zhang Mao made a sound, Xu Guangzuo said, "Your Majesty, the Beijing camp cannot be moved for the time being. That is the soldiers and horses guarding the capital. Although Song Nan's analysis is reasonable, who knows whether the thief soldiers are going north or south? The garrison on the periphery of Gyeonggi is under the jurisdiction of the governor of the five armies, and it is better for the governors of the five armies of the old minister to handle such matters.
Zhengde looked at Zhang Mao. Zhang Mao bowed and said, "Ding Guogong is right. The old minister has no objection. The old minister will strengthen the vigilance of the Beijing camp to prevent the thief from going north; the matter of suppressing thieves will bother Master Xu."
Seeing that Zhang Mao had no objection, Zhengde nodded and said, "Well, will Duke Ding go in person?"
Liu Jin smiled and said, "How can the Duke of Ding go out? Isn't that a cow knife to kill chickens? Xu's husband assigned someone to lead the troops.
Xu Guangzuo smiled and said, "Naturally, the old minister's old arms and legs can't go on an expedition in person. Xi Luchen will order the commanders of Zijingwei and Maoshanwei to lead troops south to suppress the thieves. He is afraid that Song Nan can't defend Xin'an County and let the thief soldiers go south, which will be troublesome."
Zhengde said, "I believe in Song Nan. What about the east?"
Xu Guangzuo said, "Fuqiangbo Mao Rui's Yingzhou Qiantunwei and Dingbianbo Qinshan's Yingzhou Zhongtunwei will gather south, and Tongzhou Shenwu Zhongwei will also follow south."
Zhengde said, "Isn't Shenwu Zhongwei the soldier and horse led by Yande, the son of her husband?"
Xu Guangzuo smiled and said, "Thank you for remembering the position of the dog. It is precisely for him to lead the army to suppress thieves on the East Road."
Zhengde nodded and said, "Okay, I appointed Xu Guangzuo, the governor of Dingguo. On the east road, Xu Yande was the governor, and the internal supervisor sent Gao Feng with the supervisor to suppress the thieves. On the west road, the governor of Zijingwei and Maoshan Guard went south to suppress thieves. I hope that the two people can win and calm the trouble of the thief soldiers as soon as possible.
Xu Guangzuo slowly knelt down and shouted long live.
Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and others looked on coldly and understood that Xu Guangzuo was going to rob military achievements. The achievements of the rebellion were not small. In the past, they could not be contested, but now they must be fought, because as we all know, there are already two hills inside Xunqi. There has been an open and secret struggle between the British Duke and the Duke of Ding. What could Xu Guangzuo do before? Don't let it go, but now it's benevolent.
Although Zhang Mao smiled, his heart was not like turning over the sea, but the Beijing camp could not be easily dispatched. This time, it was in line with the rules to give priority to the governors of the five armies to suppress the rebellion, and he was only suffered a mute loss.
