In the Ganqing Palace.

Lin Yanchao proposed a battle between the southern and northern troops. When the military forces in the garrison and recruiting troops, the big guys nodded. Although Lin Yanchao looked straightforward and provocative, he actually spoke very well.

Now the court talks about the dispute between the Southern Army and the Northern Army. The main reason is that the Northern Army in Liao Town, Jizhen is very dissatisfied with the generous treatment of the Southern Army and there have been conflicts between the two sides.

But Lin Yanchao's words subtly shifted the dispute between the regional factions to the contradictions between the two systems.

Instead of rashly standing on either side and talking to others.

However, Lin Yanchao said this on the surface, but he was indeed dissatisfied with the Northern Army in his heart, especially Liaozhen. As a time traveler, he certainly knew that the so-called Liaoxi generals and Guanning Army in Liaozhen at the end of the Ming Dynasty had almost become private and warlords.

It is not that the Liao Town, which was a warlord, could not be fought, but that they had good combat effectiveness. After the demise of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty used the Three Feudalists to conquer most of the world. The Liao Town was mainly in many battles between the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty, and repeatedly abandoned friendly forces and ran away first or refused to save them, resulting in the Ming army collapsed across the board and defeated again and again.

Of course, this is the mistake of private military transformation and warlord system, but the incompatibility of the northern army and the southern army was also a big factor. In history, the Ming Dynasty's strategy against the Later Jin Dynasty had been constantly repetitive in the Liao people defending the Liao territory, and the main guest army was still repeated. This was buried as early as after Zhang Juzheng's reign. In the 23rd year of Wanli, the northern army in Jizhen was named after the mutiny of the southern army, killing 3,300 disarmed Southern Army. This incident shocked the whole world.

"Since it is said that it is a battle between recruiting troops and guards, then what is the best thing to do to attack Zong Bo?" Wang Yie, the Minister of War, asked.

Lin Yanchao glanced at Wang Yie, and this was also a pitfall.

Lin Yanchao said: "The military service in the Wei Dynasty was set since the time of Taizu. After two hundred years of implementation, it was the ancestral system. As for the system of recruiting troops, it was a later adaptation method. However, the system of recruiting troops was not created by the dynasty. The Zhao Song used the system of recruiting troops, which was easy for the court to control. The Song people once said that the dynasty had nothing to do for a hundred years."

Wang Yie said: "Yes, Youyan was unable to recover during the Song Dynasty, so there was a saying that the military strength was weak. Emperor Taizong personally conquered Mongolia for five times, and Chenghua also pierced the court three times. This shows that the ancestral system of this dynasty is better than that of Zhao and Song."

Lin Yanchao thought to himself that Wang Yie was appointed as the Minister of War, repeatedly advocated the abolition and reduction of the southern troops, and this time it seemed that he would be in a tit-for-tat way with me in the court.

Lin Yanchao did not force himself, but smiled and said, "As Wang Sima said, Taizong and Xianzong's martial arts were indeed far superior to that of the Emperor of Zhao Song. For example, Wang Jingchuan, the native of King Sima during the reign of Emperor Shenzong, once said that the country would recruit more soldiers and do not care about death. In this way, the troops would like to be in chaos and chaos, and were comparable to good farmers."

Seeing Lin Yanchao quote Wang Anshi's words, Wang Yie nodded and said, "Yes, the recruitment system of the Song Dynasty shows that this system is corrupt. Wherever there is a famine, we will recruit soldiers, and even bandits can be granted justice. How can the thieves fight with the hungry army? In order to use troops in the court to fight, they must use good families!"

Wang Yi'e's words, the ministers present nodded. These words were reasonable and well-founded, and even the emperor and Shen Shixing showed praise.

But Lin Yanchao said, "Wang Sima said very well. I heard that when the Qi family army entered Fujian, they recruited soldiers in Jintai, Zhejiang and others, and used great profits to lure them into soldiers. So that local prefectures and counties reported to the court that the fields were deserted and the national courses were not organized. They begged the court to stop recruiting peasants locally."

"The officials of prefectures and counties are suffering from the grain tax, but the Qi family army recruited by the peasant children has pacified the Japanese harm in Fujian. This shows that in recruiting good families to serve as soldiers, Qi Taibao and Wang Sima are all the same as heroes."

After hearing these words, the ministers all thought to themselves that Lin Yanchao is really amazing.

Lin Yanchao was clearly speaking for Nan Bing, but while talking around, he reached a consensus with Wang Yie, who opposed Nan Bing. Not only did he express his own opinions, but he also avoided confrontation with Wang Yie in the court.

Wang Yie also understood that Lin Yanchao was not a friendly army, but the other party praised him just now, which made him feel quite helpful. Now that there are so many people in the court watching, everyone still maintains a friendly and debate situation.

Wang Yi'e said: "What Da Zongbo said is right, but Da Zongbo can tell how much is the monthly salary of the northern army and the southern army in Jizhen? The monthly salary of the northern army is one stone, and the silver is five cents, and the southern army is one tael and five cents. In this way, a southern army can also serve as two or three northern army food."

"Everyone joins the army to eat food, but the court favors one and the other. How do you think the court can make the soldiers of the Northern Army willing?"

Wang Yie's words were also very reasonable and had the upper hand again. However, everyone also felt that it was rare that Lin Yanchao, the Minister of Rites, could argue with Wang Yie, the Minister of War, in military affairs.

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "In fact, the recruitment of soldiers on the Nine Borders has been a long time since the Xuande period. During the Xuande period, the Nine Borders had insufficient troops and had already implemented the recruitment strategy. In the eighth year of Zhengde, he spoke out and advised him to set the recruitment system early, and he has been brave and brave."

"In the 28th year of Jiajing, the Ministry of War had a consultation on the number of 94,556 soldiers recruited by the Nine Borders. At that time, one of the five officers and soldiers stationed by the Nine Borders was recruiting soldiers. The troops recruited by the Nine Borders were under the jurisdiction of the garrison, and they were trained to provide food for food in autumn and winter, and returned in spring and summer. This can be called half farming and half soldiers, and it is called the winter and summer soldiers."

Wang Yie said: "I heard that Lin Zongbo has the ability to remember everything I have seen. This consultation on the Ministry of War in the 28th year of Jiajing can actually remember it so clearly, but Wang didn't know what this matter had to do with the Southern Army?"

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Wang Sima, please listen to Lin's words. This recruitment is three different from the southern army. One is under the jurisdiction of the garrison. The other is the locals, so they have a love for family and tombs. The third is the recruitment of soldiers. However, the exemption from the garrison is not much different from the garrison."

"What about the southern army in Jizhen? They are visiting soldiers. They have no fields to cultivate, and they are not protected by the countryside. They leave their homes thousands of miles away, guard the capital, and have no family around them. If the court does not give them generous money and food, wouldn't it be a waste of their desire to serve the country? Therefore, the military pay set by the southern army is really not high."

"But the treasury is empty at the moment, and it is understandable that Wang Sima proposes to save money and food. However, there is something wrong with the court, and there is constant war in the northwest. Should Wang Sima's plan to lay off the southern troops first and discuss it later?"

After Zhang Juzheng, many officials of the court did not like the Southern Army, even the Emperor. How effective is the Southern Army of pure professional soldiers? It is well known that without the Southern Army, the Southern Army will be unstable. Therefore, they need to use it on this side and suppress it on the other side, so Wang Yie proposed a strategy to cut the salary.

So Lin Yanchao could not adapt. In short, he delayed it first in the court's proposal and asked Wang Yie to give up this plan temporarily. This is what Lin Yanchao can do now.

The ritual minister discussed military affairs, but this matter was inappropriate and was an act of expedition. Wang Yie really wanted to argue with him and not take any action.

As for elevating the status of the Southern Army or even reforming the military system, you can only make a decision when you enter the cabinet.

After Lin Yanchao's case, Wang Yie thought about the cabinet and objected to his opinion. Now Lin Yanchao stood up again, and he was not sure. So he did not argue anymore, but retreated into the court to express his abandonment.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It was not easy for Lin Yanchao to argue that Wang Yie was defeated. If Wang Yie had just become a person, it was because the court did not listen to me, so I would resign.

The emperor frowned and said at this time, Fang Suan said, "This is a court discussion. All the ministers and workers have their own opinions. I have something to earn. Are you still owed the military pay in Ji Town this year?"

Shi Xing, the Minister of Revenue, remarked: "Your Majesty, when the money for Yunnan's fined classes arrives before March next year, you will be able to make up for Jizhen's owed salary."

The emperor said: "What does it look like if I take a sum of money from the treasury first?"

Shi Xing hurriedly said, "How dare you work for the emperor to pay the money? I will start this matter immediately after returning to my household."

"The money from the court should be spent on a little while. It is not easy for Shi Qing to take charge of the money bag for the court." The emperor ordered and stopped saying anything.

At this moment, the first assistant Shen Shixing, and Xu Guo was very happy.

Lin Yanchao was also happy. What he saw was indeed in harmony with Shen Shixing and Xu Guo. Not only that, he also did something for the Nan Bing.

…………

Shen Shixing cleared his throat and said that the court agreed that Xu Guo would preside over him and he would continue to sit down. Xu Guo looked happy on his face, and then he took a step forward to face the ministers and said, "I wonder what you have to do with your opinion on Zheng Luo's request to set up a three-sided governor?"

Hearing this, Lin Yanchao retreated to the class, and at the same time thought that Shen Shixing asked Xu Guo to preside over the court discussion for him, this may not be a first-class decentralization of power.

It seems that after Song Xun served as the Minister of Personnel, Shen Shixing also felt pressured.

Lin Yanchao glanced at Xu Guo. Xu Guo had a good relationship with him. If this person was the chief minister, he would at least be better than Wang Xijue's chief minister. He would not be afraid of no one in the cabinet in the future.

Especially when the two of them reached an agreement on the Lianghuai Salt Tax, this is their interest. Thinking of this, Lin Yanchao looked at Wang Xijue on the head again, and he didn't like it anyway.

While Lin Yanchao was thinking, he heard Wang Yie, the Minister of War, beside him, saying: "This matter is the reason why the Minister of the Minister of the Legislative Yuan Zheng Luo came out to invite him. It is speculated that there was a censor in the court, saying that he was worried that he would be dictatorial and arbitrarily."

Song Xun, Minister of Personnel, said: "The court is currently using troops. Zheng Luo is familiar with the enemy's romance and should appoint a specialist. Only in this way can he dare to let go."

Xu Guo nodded and asked Lin Yanchao: "What do you think of Lin Zongbo?"

Lin Yanchao glanced at the emperor and remembered the words "dare to speak" he said just now. He thought to himself that he was not good at talking about this occasion, but it may not be a test for himself at this moment.

Although the Minister of Rites did not have a strong position, he was one of the nine ministers. The most important thing was the most critical point of the transition from the minister to the cabinet.

As the prime minister of the cabinet, he must be fully aware of national affairs.

Besides, this matter seems to be the general trend, so I don’t have to oppose anyone, just say a few words.

Xu Guo smiled and said, "Master Dazong has just arrived. Do you want to read Zheng Jinglue's memorial?"

Lin Yanchao came out and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xu. In fact, Lin also agrees with the views of Taizai and Sima. As the saying goes, one is dedicated and two is divided, and the governance is equally important to the governor. If the opinions differ and go back and forth, wouldn't it be delayed if they look at each other?

"The power of affairs and strategy is more important than the governor, and the responsibility of the governor is more important than the strategy. One person holds his power and the other person divides his responsibility. This is inconvenient. Therefore, Lin thought that Zheng Luo would also serve as the governor and the governor, so that he could devote his efforts to the western frontier with peace of mind."

Xu Guo smiled and said, "What do you think of Da Zongbo's views?"

The officials said one after another: "That's right."

"A mature opinion."

Shen Shixing asked the emperor: "I wonder what Your Majesty wants?"

The emperor smiled gently and said, "Mr. Shen personally recommended this to me. Even if several Qing families say so, I will take advantage of it without doubt!"

This matter has been decided, and today's court discussion has finally made progress.

All the ministers thought, if Lin Yanchao had arrived a little earlier today, wouldn’t he be able to get off work early today? He wouldn’t have to stand until now that his back and back pain was sore.

Xu Guo continued: "What do you think about Yang Yinglong, Bozhou?"

Wang Xijue came out and said: "Yang Yinglong, the capitals of Guizhou and Sichuan Provinces can be ordered to investigate, and Yang Yinglong can be asked to go to any province for investigation."

"But Wang Ge Lao, Yang Yinglong must go to Sichuan, not Guizhou. I think it is better to do a concerted effort to change Bozhou and return it to the current. The land of Bozhou is fertile, and it is beneficial to collect it in the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan."

"But the reign of the land and revelation is too deeply touched. If Yang Yinglong is forced to rebel, it will cause a military disaster. At the same time, it will also cause uneasiness among other chieftains in the southwest. This is not a strategy for the court to be soft and to be distant and not to be cured."

...

The two sides quarreled again, and the ministers disagreed.

Xu Guo glanced at Lin Yanchao and asked in a script: "What are the great ideas about the master of the throne?"

After hearing Xu Guozhi's words, Lin Yanchao immediately said motionlessly in the class: "Lin is not familiar with the border relationship between Yunnan and Guizhou, so he dare not talk nonsense."

Xu Guo agreed to Lin Yanchao's opinion, but the emperor said, "It's okay, Lin Qing knows and says as much as he says."

Lin Yanchao's heart... This is the emperor who doesn't let him go.

Lin Yanchao thought that everyone had expressed their opinions anyway, so he followed him: "Report to Your Majesty, I will dare to say that. I remember that the strong military strength of the Chuangui Tushima was the An family, and the Yang family was the second. The An family has been disobedient since the Jiajing period, but the Yang family is still quite obedient."

"When Taizu pacified the world, the Yang family in Sichuan took the lead in supporting the family, paying 2,500 stones of grain every year. Taizu thought that the Yang family in Bozhou was the first to attach, so he did not charge a tax. Now, although Yang Yinglong has repeatedly committed evil deeds, he has not shown any signs of rebellion to the court, and has repeatedly offered wood to assist workers."

Xu Guodao: "So what Da Zongbo means is to stop suppressing it? Focus on comforting it?"

Lin Yanchao said: "Old Xu, what I mean is not like. Bozhou is thousands of miles away from the court. Is it better to suppress or tutor the local tutor? "

"But why are the officials on both sides of Guizhou and Sichuan saying the opposite words, one is the main suppression and the other is the main tutor. Which side should the imperial court listen to?" The emperor asked.

Lin Yanchao reported: "Report to Your Majesty, as far as I know, there are five corpses and seven surnames in Bozhou. This time, Guizhou is the leader of the seven clans of Bozhou. The reason why the five corpses and seven surnames in Bozhou went away to Guizhou to sue Yang Yinglong for killing local people indiscriminately. In fact, the officials on both sides have their own reasons. Although Bozhou is a Sichuan territory, it is actually Guizhou's elbow and the Guizhou governors plan to lie on their bed and not sleep well. This is Guizhou's plan and the country's plan. Moreover, the fertile land of Bozhou City is difficult to ensure that Guizhou officials have no intention of coveting."

"As for Sichuan, it is not self-interested. Sichuan guards used to send troops to rely on the chieftains. Yang Yinglong's army was brave and good at fighting, so they often used it. When Yang Yinglong left, not only did he lose one available army, but if he encircled and suppressed the enemy in the future, the strength of the Sichuan army would be insufficient."

"Therefore, I think that although the officials in Guizhou, Sichuan and Xinjiang all make sense, they all plan from their own plans. The whole world is ruined by one's intention. This matter is still as planned by several adults just now, and officials from both provinces will come up with a reason together. This is a perfect solution, and the court should not interfere in it."

The officials nodded. Lin Yanchao's analysis not only made the case, but also gave the officials in Guizhou and Sichuan strong respect, giving them enough face, turning a lawsuit between the two provinces into a starting point for the court, but everyone's starting points are different.

At the same time, the power is delegated to local governments, and all aspects are extremely concerned.

The emperor looked at Lin Yanchao and felt that he was unambiguous and did not refuse his responsibilities, and concluded that Lin Yanchao was the minister who was appointed.

"What do you think about Mr. Shen?" the emperor asked Xiang Shen Shixing.

Shen Shixing said: "The old minister also thought that he could not move lightly. Now that the northwest is using troops, if Bozhou is in chaos, it will cause a fire in the backyard. Of course, the court must not ignore Yang Yinglong's affairs. In this way, he thought that the court was weak and would be unfaithful."

"In fact, in the opinion of the old minister, it is not as good as the Minister of Rites to delegate power to the two provinces as the Minister of Rites, and at the same time, the officials from both places were asked to send out a document to the two provinces to suppress or pacify. How to make Yang Yinglong not commit any crimes in the future? How should he explain to the court about the previous matters? As for the suppression, the Yang family has been in Bozhou for 700 years, and the troops are strong, and the mountains and roads of Bozhou are high and far, and Hailongtun and other places are actually natural dangerous passes. To overcome how many soldiers and horses must be mobilized here, and how can the money and grain go? Also, Yang Yinglong rebelled, will the An family with whom he was related to follow and will the other chieftains feel panic?"

When the emperor heard this, he sighed: "It is Mr. Shen who is a mature and thoughtful person, so will Mr. Shen be inclined to be the master of the country?"

Shen Shixingdao: "I think I can adopt the view of Li Hualong, the inspector of Sichuan. There is a war in the northwest. The court can order Yang Yinglong to personally lead the chieftains of Bozhou to station in Taozhou. If Yang Yinglong has the intention of being unjust, he will definitely refuse. If he is willing to go, he might as well let him go. In this way, the court can also concentrate on the matter of Hetao."

"Of course, the court can also lure Yang Yinglong to Guizhou and Sichuan in the name of Huikan, and then kill him. Of course, this move will be full of troubles. Just like the incident of Wang Zhi back then, even if Bozhou is calmed down, he will lose his trust in the southwest chieftains in the future."

The emperor said: "In accordance with Mr. Shen's opinion, then we will give an order to transfer Yang Yinglong to Taozhou, but there is no need to transfer it. As long as he is willing to obey the imperial edict, the court will allow him to continue to station in Bozhou as a crime!"

After the emperor finished speaking, Shen Shixing and other ministers visited and saluted: "The emperor is wise!"
Chapter completed!
