Chapter 17 Rebellion

3days ago traverse Novels 3
At least dozens of candles were lit on the lamp holder in the Political Affairs Hall, which was as bright as daytime. Of course, it was just like the light and daytime. People couldn't see the details clearly. Even the sloppy Li Shouyi looked like a human at first glance.

Everyone looked very serious.

Liu An, who had just been called out from the bedroom, was originally eager to play with a pair of twin sisters he had finally found. Twin sisters might be easy to find, but it would not be so easy if a beauty had to use money to get it. But when she heard about this, she was completely out of interest, and he realized that there were more difficult and troublesome things waiting for him.

Someone must have to send troops to suppress the rebellion. He cannot control the war. The problem is that he needs money in the war. He doesn't want to find him in front of the Minister of Revenue...

The palace expenses were huge, especially Princess Taiping used something more expensive than gold. She was in a good mood to reward the famous scholars who could only speak loudly. In addition, the military budget this year was very high, and the emperor asked Du Xian to transfer 50,000 troops into Tubo in one sentence. In Liu An's eyes, the food, drink, military pay was the amount of money in Liu An's eyes. Liu An could not control whether they died or not. The problem was that he would have to pay for his pensions. Anyway, the money was all the money.

I just hope that the weather will be good this year. Don’t encounter droughts and floods in the local area and cry and ask for money and food to provide disaster relief. There is also Princess Taiping who has built the Huaqing Palace to escape from winter, so don’t build the palace to escape from summer on a whim.

Compared with these money that cost hundreds of millions of dollars, Liu An could not compare to his own collection of things to enjoy himself, so he never felt that he was a corrupt official, nor was he afraid of being known by others. Whoever wanted to impeach him and let him go, as long as the emperor didn't want to punish him, he could do whatever he should do.

Cheng Qianli, the Minister of War, was also in a state of great trouble. Now there is no strong army to adjust in Hebei, Hedong and Henan. He can only rely on local regiment training, and he does not know whether it is useful or not.

The Ministry of Works lacked a minister, but several ministers were there. They were worried about the construction period of the Great Wall in Hebei. Although Zhang Wulang was in charge of the matter, Zhang Wulang was all warriors under him, and the specific work was sent by the Ministry of Works to take charge.

Of course, the most unpleasant thing is Zhang Shuo, he is the Secretary of the Central Committee.Zhang Shuo was already angry: Who recommended the governor of Huazhou?What did he eat!

Everyone said nothing, and an official said carefully: Zhou Ji has been there for several years. Why don’t he look for the previous files to check?

No one agrees, how many years?

Your mother, our Great Jin Dynasty is only two years old. Where did the people who worked as the governor during the Tang Dynasty check who recommended it?

Besides, a few people present knew one thing: it seems that the governor of Huazhou came to Chang'an to express his loyalty and report his duties, and gave Zhang Shuo a big gift.

Zhang Shuobu Niao's suggestion was filled with anger and couldn't help but pour out: The man named Cui escaped from Yingzhou. How many people could there be, no money or weapons and armor, it would be fine to take a county town, but how did he break through the prefecture?Is there no soldiers in a state? The fully armed officers and soldiers beat a group of mobs and even lost the state yamen. Zhou Ji is just a bucket of money!

Dou Huaizhen advised kindly: The report said that Zhou Ji was not dead. If he asked him to come back and ask, wouldn’t he understand... If he hadn’t surrendered.

Cheng Qianli said in a deep voice: Huazhou was originally the old nest of Cui. Although many people were convicted and exiled in one family, the foundation of hundreds of years cannot be eradicated in a day. The regiment training in the hands of the local governors is also locals. I am afraid that those soldiers and generals will not have the will to fight Cui Qigao.Losing Huazhou is not a big deal. What I am afraid of is that this person’s people are wandering into Hebei. Now the people in Hebei are unstable. If the traitors are good at inciting, it will only be a matter of sooner or later the momentum will be greater.

Zhang Shuo asked: Does Cheng Xiang have a strategy to exterminate it quickly?

Cheng Qianli looked solemn: Since the reform of the military system led by the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat, the Zhechong Mansion, which has become increasingly exhausted, has been removed and has been replaced by the Governor's Office. The only thing the court can use is the Governor's Office for military training at any time. Because the local regiments do not have the military pay and equipment to bear military salaries, they are not capable of protecting their own local area, and they have to fight in other places with poor morale. It is not a wise move to rashly piece together the regiments to train and fight in the suppression without knowing the specific combat power of the rebels.A war cannot be defeated when dealing with such a rebel. The impact of a rebel victory once is more serious than the battle itself!

The nearby Governor's Office can only rely on the towns north of the Yellow River, and the Shannan, Huainan and Jiangnan have always been in trouble.

However, in order to capture Yingzhou a few years ago, the main force of the three towns of Hedong, Hebei and Andong had been transferred to Yingzhou, and now there are no troops to adjust.

I don’t know if Cui Qigao was lucky or had planned it for a long time. At this time, it would be difficult for the court to quickly gather superior forces to fight.

Therefore, in my opinion, unless Cui Qigao's troops are vulnerable, it is impossible to exterminate immediately.

The remaining method is to start from two aspects. First, strictly order the prefectures and prefectures to prevent the scope of rebels from expanding their activities. In particular, Youzhou should immediately appoint a prestigious minister to preside over the presidency. This place is crucial and it is necessary to take early prevention; second, gather elite troops from elsewhere as soon as possible to defeat their main force, and then divide and destroy one by one.The eastern capital Luoyang and Duji defenders could not move. The rebels were already in Henan. If they were not caught, they were lucky enough to break through Luoyang, half of them would be shocked.The remaining ones can be transferred from the three cities in the north of Guanzhong, but the roads in the Guanzhong Plateau area are rugged and are not conducive to marching. Instead of transferring the troops of the three cities, it is better to transfer the Guanzhong army from the Guanzhong Plain or the three imperial guards in Chang'an, which are also very strong. They can also transport equipment and weapons along the canal to reduce military expenditure and the burden on civilians.

Zhang Shuo frowned and said: Cheng Xiang had a big idea. He actually had to mobilize troops from Guanzhong to deal with a local rebellion. How did the Ministry of War arrange the military preparations? How could he explain to the emperor if he presented such a method?

Cheng Qianli said calmly: This cannot be blamed for the inappropriate use of martial arts. Originally, the important military towns in Shandong (east of Guanzhong) were in Hedong and Hebei. There were not many soldiers in Luoyang. First, because Luoyang was far away in the hinterland for many years, and second, Li Sanlang, the remnant of the previous dynasty, used the official army to seek rebellion there. The defense of the Eastern Capital was mainly for fortifications, and the troops in charge were only enough to defend the local area.However, in order to advance to Yingzhou a few years ago, all the elite soldiers from Hedong, Hebei were released, and there was no time to make up for it in a short period of time. At that time, the launch of the Yingzhou battle was relatively hasty and there was almost no time to prepare for the whole process.This situation is completely a loophole, and the rebels took advantage of it. Now we must not pull the troops of Hebei and Hedong towns from Yingzhou, beware of the collusion between the rebels and barbarians, and make the results of the Yingzhou battle fail.

If it weren't for this time that the rebel Cui Qigao rebelled in Huazhou, the elite soldiers from Hedong, Hebei quickly moved south and were destroyed in half a month. They had no chance to make up any prodigal sons, and at most they could slap in Huazhou.

After all, the embarrassment of this unexpected situation was a side effect of the Battle of Yingzhou. At that time, the court officials did not support the launch of this war, and Xue Chongxun was also a little anxious.

Everyone knows the whole story, but no one mentions it at this moment. What's the use of accuseing the emperor now? What do you mean is that the emperor is not qualified?

Zhang Shuo walked a few steps and said decisively: Cheng Xiang’s statement is too much. Cui Qigao is just a bandit. He relied on his hometown’s advantageous people and luckily obtained a state. Moreover, the local people are not all surnamed Cui, and not everyone is willing to take the lead and engage in rebellion with him to destroy the clan.We must now mobilize troops from Guanzhong, or even move the imperial guards, not let the world laugh at them?

... Besides, the total number of soldiers in the Governor's Office in our Great Jin Dynasty is only 100,000 or 200,000. Could it be that there is only such a little military preparation for this ten thousand miles of country?It’s useless to waste so many local troops, so they really can’t fight. What’s the use of destroying bandits?Doing so, the court will pay them military salaries during wartime, and then send a few war-going generals to select local troops to form an army to encircle and suppress Huazhou... Who is willing to serve as the chief general?

Cheng Qianli hurriedly said: Please think twice, the Secretary of the Central Committee. If Huazhou has not lost only one or two county towns, this strategy is feasible.But Huazhou has been lost. The rebels have territory and soldiers and food, and they can also temporarily build weapons. How big is the difference between such a man and local regiment training?In addition, one party is waiting for work in his old nest, and the other party has low morale, which is very risky.With my years of experience in leading troops, I should avoid fighting such wars. It is better to waste time and not fight first. Anyway, the court has fifteen ways of the world and they only occupy one corner. It will be a matter of time before the huge gap in strength is a matter of time.

Cheng Xianggong was born in a military leader. Do you think I don’t understand military affairs?

Zhang said that he was in a bad mood tonight and spoke a little angry, but he was indeed from the Ministry of War, and he had all the qualifications of all officials.

He said: Soldiers are the most important thing. Don’t they put out their foundations in one fell swoop when they are unstable. Wait for the fewer fires, the bigger the bigger?

Cheng Qianli said: If the Secretary of the Central Committee insisted on doing this, the emperor agreed. I have no objection. The Ministry of War will do its best to cooperate, but don’t recommend me to be the chief general. I can’t do this job.

Zhang Shuo stretched his face and said: Cheng Xianggong has led his troops back to the court from Helong, and he has no intention of making progress as a general and prime minister.

You don’t need to provoke me. I know what I can do and what I can’t do.Cheng Qianli said calmly.

Zhang Shuo looked back and said: No one went, I recommended myself in front of the emperor, and gave up the pen and got on the horse and pulled the bow!

When the officials heard this, they hurriedly persuaded him and said that you are the dormitory of all officials. Who will take the troops to preside over the overall situation of the Nanya...

Several civil officials who had been a Jinshi graduate and had mixed qualifications immediately asked for their orders generously. Of course, the Political Affairs Hall would not recommend them to lead troops, but they took the opportunity to show their loyalty to Zhang and said that it was necessary to support their face.

At this time, a young man stood up and said in a strong accent: Let me go, I have never made any extraordinary achievements, but I have been in Jiannan and have followed the Shangshu for several years.
