Chapter 374

When his name was called, Chen Xun complained from his heart, but he also knew that his position was here, and such a thing could not escape. To this end, he raised his head and said bitterly, "Your Majesty, the minister is mainly responsible for the assessment, appointment and removal of officials in the prefectures and Re Beijing. As for the army, he doesn't cover much, and he can't find a suitable candidate for the moment, but the minister will make a good investigation after he returns to see if there is a good general."

I didn't dare to pass the buck directly, but I also said all the meaning in my heart in my words. To sum up, he knows about the transfer of civil servants, but he knows very little about military duties.

"Hum!" knowing that Chen Xun was shirking his responsibility, Zhu Qizhen snorted unhappily, and then his eyes turned to Wang Zuo, the Minister of the Ministry of household, "Wang Aiqing, the Ministry of household is in charge of the money of the whole country, as well as the grain, grass and ordnance in the army. I wonder if there are any excellent candidates recommended to me during this evaluation?"

"Emperor, most of the people used in the army are the same, and there are no particularly outstanding people. The minister can't really think of it for a moment." Wang Zuo said hard, also trying to tell Zhu Qi town that he only cares about money and food. It seems that it's not his duty to recommend good generals. There won't be any answer to ask him.

The two successive ministers found the reason. Zhu Qizhen was angry and asked other ministers, but he still didn't get any answers. Finally, his eyes fell on Kuang ye, the Minister of the Ministry of military. "Kuang Aiqing, you are in charge of the Ministry of military. I wonder if there is a suitable good general to recommend to me now?"

Asked about Kuang ye, this is also a helpless thing. Originally, Zhu Qizhen also knew that if there was a suitable candidate, Kuang ye might have stood up early in the morning. If there was no action, it meant that he had no one to recommend, but at this time, he could only try.

Kuang ye, who was asked, looked much calmer than several other Shangshu, "tell the emperor that the Ministry of war is now conducting self-examination and has not found any outstanding person to lead the troops for the time being. Just when the emperor asked, the minister still recommended Zhong Dan Gong. He is now fighting the rebellion in Guangdong. It's better to wait until he solves the problem there and transfer him to Yunnan to preside over the situation..."

Kuang Ye was still talking, but Zhu Qi town on the Dragon chair was already red and angry: "enough."

After interrupting Kuang Ye's words, Zhu Qizhen angrily said to Kuang ye: "Do you know what Guan Ying, who you sent to report the situation in Guangdong every day, said? It's peaceful today, the three armed forces haven't moved, and everything is normal. This is Guan Ying's secret report, and I can recite this sentence every day. Now you say you want to put your hope on Zhong Dan Gong. Do you think it's too easy to talk about it?"

"Yes, yes. How can Kuang Shangshu mention the loyal and courageous public? Guangdong is just a group of bandits, mostly untrained mobs. There is no combat power at all. The loyal and courageous public, known as the God of war, is afraid of the enemy. If he is transferred to Yunnan, he doesn't know what he will be afraid of. It's better not to say so in the future , so as not to make others laugh. "Liu De, the Minister of rites, stood up and accused Yang Chendong of doing things unfavourably.

Originally, Yang Chendong didn't sell Liu De face because of the fact that the governor of Hangzhou Qi didn't apply. He was angry. Then he stumbled over Yang Shan's mission to Beiming, but it wasn't as good as he thought. He was scolded by Zhu Qizhen for a long time. Now even the Emperor is scolding Yang Chendong for his bad work. What's wrong with him Might not step on it?

Kuang ye, who knew the grievances between Liu De and Yang Chendong very well, knew that the other party was venting his personal anger, so he said with a look of disapproval: "Zhongdan Gong didn't get an inch of credit, but the situation in Guangdong hasn't been expanded, which was originally a credit. Besides, the original situation on the battlefield is ever-changing. Today's inaction doesn't mean tomorrow's inaction. Who can know the outcome? I still have confidence in Zhongdan Gong."

"Really? Then I hope Kuang Shangshu has a clear understanding of people, and I hope this loyal and courageous public of Beiming will live up to his expectations." Liu De knew that he didn't have much say in the military affairs. He had already expressed his meaning, so there was no need to be unhappy with Kuang ye on this matter, so he began to stop.

"That's enough!" seeing that the minister had no good generals to recommend, he quarreled here, and Zhu Qizhen was angry. Then he shook his hand, "all Aiqing will consider the matter of good generals after they go back. If there is a suitable candidate, I don't look at my qualifications and promote them."

Regardless of the seniority of the generals, we can already see the anxious heart of Zhuqi town. While the ministers were calm, they also fell on their knees and shouted that they would think carefully and select the words of the available people.

......

The siege of Guangzhou mansion has been solved. Yang Chendong also met with General Ma Wei, commander of Guangdong guard, under the Guangzhou mansion. However, the information is not developed. I'm afraid the war here will take a few days to spread back to Nanjing and Kyoto.

"Ma Wei has met the imperial envoy at the end of the meeting." different from the last meeting, Ma Wei saluted respectfully this time. It can be seen that he was sincere.

Although under the system of the Ming Dynasty, military officials usually lower their heads than civil officials, but as the commander of the guard, the power is not small. At least in the whole of Guangdong, the only person who can really suppress him is the Chief Secretary Lu Youfu. Even according to the original procurator Jia Qing, their official rank is only higher than him. More often, they don't need to lower their heads when they meet because of their different responsibilities.

Now, Ma Wei's respect for Yang Chendong is not only due to the identity of the imperial envoy of the other party, but also the great victory of the war.

From dark to noon the next day, the Yellow bandits had been defeated like a mountain. The bandit leader Huang Yuliang fled in disorder. Geng Jun, the head of his four heavenly kings, was killed before the battle. In addition, more than 30 leaders, large and small, were killed, injured and arrested. In this war, more than 30000 people were captured alone, and nearly 10000 people died in the war, especially those who trampled on each other under chaos. In this way, more than half of the original 80000 yellow bandit army was severely damaged and lost the ability to encircle Guangzhou government. Needless to say, the rest have escaped like a lost dog.

Such means came from Yang Chendong. As the witness of the whole event, how can Ma Wei not be convinced. As for the resentment that Yang Chendong ordered him to stick to the Guangzhou government for ten days and hurt the soldiers, he forgot a clean one as early as this time.

Ma Wei looked convinced. Yang Chendong was not surprised, but replied faintly: "General Ma made great contributions to this war. In the next war report, the imperial envoy will mention it, but the war is not over, the battlefield still needs to be cleaned, and a large number of prisoners still need to be supervised. General Ma is familiar with here. How to mobilize the Yamen and even the people in Guangzhou to help is hard for you."

Yang Chendong said politely, and Ma Wei happily agreed, "please rest assured, the imperial envoy. The last general will go to the city to mobilize. I think the manpower should be replenished soon."

"Very good." Yang Chendong nodded with satisfaction, and then said as if he remembered something, "By the way, although we won this war, we lost some manpower after all. In order to better fight against the Yellow bandits and achieve the goal of elimination, the imperial envoy suggested that we should select some strong and strong people from these prisoners for our use. Only with sufficient troops can we fight continuously and restore the stability of Guangdong."

Such a thing is a common means during the war of liberation, which is one of the reasons why our army is getting bigger and bigger, and the fruits of victory are getting richer and richer.

"Choose prisoners and replenish troops?" Ma Wei raised his head in surprise. Obviously, he didn't think about it at all.

Just when he was confused, general Guan Ying came on horseback not far away, but when he was a few feet away from Yang Chendong, he stopped the horse and jumped down. Leading the horse to Yang Chendong was also a sign of respect. In other words, the results of the war surprised Guan Ying and convinced him sincerely.

Guan Ying had a feeling when he failed to compete with Yang Chendong before. He was afraid that the young imperial envoy might bring surprise to himself. Unexpectedly, not only did he have a surprise, but the result was so huge. He defeated the Yellow bandits in less than a day, seriously damaged their foundation and solved the Siege of Guangzhou government. There was a news that the Yellow bandits had sent to Zhaoqing government When he retreated, he shrank as soon as he entered the city and closed the gates of the four cities. It can be seen that this battle frightened them and dealt a great blow to the arrogance of the other party.

After this war, the situation in Guangdong must have been greatly alleviated.

His task was expected to be completed. At this moment, Guan Ying came with a red face. When he saw Yang Chendong, he was respectful, "imperial envoy, food has been delivered. When do you think the army will eat?"

"It's not urgent." Yang Chendong smiled at the approaching Guan Ying, then pointed to Ma Wei and said, "just now, the imperial envoy said that there was a shortage of troops. He wondered if he could choose strong young people from the prisoners to join the army for the time being, but General Ma didn't agree."

"No! Mo Jiang just thought that these people were originally yellow bandits. Even if they were captured because they were defeated, it's still unknown that they can't really be used by us." Ma Wei immediately explained when he saw that Yang Chendong seemed dissatisfied with himself. In that way, he had completely regarded Yang Chendong as a senior official.
