Chapter 322: Deploying troops
The entire Ming Dynasty was instantly shrouded in the dark clouds of war, and the Ming Dynasty was mobilized like a huge machine.
Such a big news naturally cannot be hidden, but the matter of fighting has not been made public.
The court knew that this time the three guards of Duoyan were the cabinet and several important officials from the six ministries. Although the people outside didn't know where they were going to fight, it was certain that they would fight.
The Beijing Camp is not easy to go out, and everyone knows this.
This time, the 100,000 troops of the Right Camp were dispatched, and the commander was still Qi Jiguang. This would be a big deal if he didn't fight.
In fact, you can guess it without any information. After all, there are not many enemies in the imperial court in the past two years. Even if there is war in the northwest, there is no need to use an army of 100,000 people.
Then there are only the north and Liaodong. All you can think of now is two words, that is, Scan the north.
Chengzu did this. Although there was a Tumu Fort Incident, no one thought that the court would repeat the mistakes of the Tumu Fort Incident. It is obvious to all that the court has strong soldiers and horses in the past two years.
Plus who is the commander? That's Qi Jiguang. How could such a person defeat the war?
For a moment, the entire capital was in full swing, and all businessmen of all sizes began to convey messages. These people were the ones who were the most keen in the world. They saw business opportunities and opportunities to make money at the first time.
The northwest has been a big gold mine in the past two years, and so is the northern grassland and Liaodong!
Compared with the northwest, these two places are undoubtedly more attractive. Before the army can start, many merchants have already started. Their destination is Liaodong, and Jinzhou and Shenyang have become the place they want to go the most.
Forbidden City, Wenhua Hall.
The court was preparing for war, and Zhu Yijun was in charge of Wenhua Hall every day to ensure that everything could be handled in a timely manner. Now the top priority of the court is to fight, and other matters can be put aside.
Zhu Yijun actually had nothing to do, because the matter could basically be solved when it reached the Military Affairs Office.
At this time, the benefits of reform are reflected. Although they are very busy, they are not messy. They can be dealt with in every matter and take responsibility for each of them. There are basically no loopholes.
Seven days later, the first 30,000 troops of the 100,000 army officially set off.
Xu Wenbi, Duke of Ding, also set off with this army. His destination was Jinzhou, and he went to Hui with Li Chengliang. The Jinyiwei and the people from the Imperial Horse Prison also set off together, and the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison also went there.
The three eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Cheng, Zhang Jing and Xu De, were in charge of Liaodong this time, for information mobilization, and for supervision.
Jizhou, Governor's Office.
Wu Dui, the governor of Ji Liao, is actually very famous and prestigious. He has been circling around the military since he became an official. This is a very powerful person. Now he is old and has a four-word evaluation: old and stronger.
Wu Dui donated money to the Imperial College in that year. In the 37th year of Jiajing, he took the provincial examinations and the imperial examinations in 38 years. He was selected as a first-level candidate in the Hanlin Academy.
When he first entered the officialdom, he was appointed as the head of the Ministry of War, the head of the Ministry of War, the chief minister, the chief senator of Huguang, and the deputy envoy of the Jizhou military commander. He did military affairs. When he was the governor of Xuanfu, he participated in Altan Khan's tribute and fought wars.
He is a good friend of the third lady of Oirat and has had an affair.
It is said that the third lady danced for Wu Dui and lay directly in Wu Dui's arms, and also had a friendship with Xu Wenchang. Wu Dui was able to fight and had a view of the overall situation, so she was a rare person.
At this time, sitting in the yamen of the Governor of Ji Liao, Wu Dui frowned slightly and had a serious face.
Not far from Wu Dui, he was sitting there drinking tea, but his face was equally serious. This man looked in his thirties, and the government was in the official uniform of a fifth-rank civil servant, but behind him were soldiers.
This combination is very common in the Ming Dynasty, but it is not common, and it is a little more in the past two years.
The Military Affairs Office was walking, and this official position was very special. Speaking of which, this was the first time Wu Dui saw the Military Affairs Office walking in Jizhou, and he came to pass the order. It was obviously a big deal.
The silence inside the hall did not last long, because a man walked in from outside.
The visitor was wearing armor and a knife around his waist. When he saw the military office walking, the visitor was slightly stunned, but he didn't care, and clasped his fists at Wu Dui: "Sir!"
Wu Dui nodded and said, "Admiral Zhang, this is He Biao, who is walking in the Beijing Military Affairs Office. He came to Jizhou to issue an order. Let's accept the order together!"
The decree was sent?
Zhang Weixian was slightly stunned. He didn't hear anything was wrong in the capital! His grandfather didn't send anyone to send messages. It was obvious that something was wrong. At this time, there was no time to think too much, so it was important to accept the order.
The two of them quickly knelt on the ground, waiting for He Biao to announce the imperial edict.
"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, and the imperial edict said: 'Give up the title of the Governor of Ji Liao Wu Dui as the Governor of the Southern Army, and Zhang Xueyan as the Governor of Ji Liao Zhang as the Governor of the Southern Army, and restrained the four armies of Xuanfu, Jizhou, Baoding and Changping."
"Mobilize the troops of the four towns and go out to the north of Xifengkou of Daning to attack Duoyan's troops."
The content of the imperial edict is not complicated. To put it bluntly, it is the imperial edict for promotion and war. After receiving the imperial edict, the imperial edict left. Zhang Xueyan and Wu Dui looked at each other, but did not speak.
It was inevitable that the court would start a war, and both of them thought of it.
But was the war started this time too much? It was just a matter of fighting the three guards of Duoyan, so many people were needed? There were not so many people fighting the Oirat last time!
"Admiral Zhang, how many troops can be drawn in the four towns?"
Wu Dui looked at Zhang Xueyan and asked.
In recent years, Zhang Xueyan has been in the Ji Liao army reform. He knows very well about the various military towns. Wu Dui has not intervened much in this regard. As the governor, he is restraining civil and military affairs, but he is only restraining. The specific military affairs are responsible for the admiral. This has been the rule in the past two years.
"There are not many people who can be transferred from Baoding and Changping, each of which will draw 10,000. The Xuanfu now has 40,000 troops stationed, and half of them can be transferred. It is OK to have 20,000 people. This will have 40,000 troops."
"We in Jizhou have sent 50,000 troops and a total force of 90,000 troops. I think it's almost done."
"Ninety thousand men and 40,000 cavalry." Zhang Xueyan added.
Wu Dui nodded. Ninety thousand people said too much, not too little, but too little. With the logistics and supplies, the number of people was almost more than 100,000. Thinking of this, Wu Dui couldn't help but sigh that the court was really rich.
Before the army moved, food and grass came first. In the past, the court did not know how to make things difficult for the court.
Now, it’s better. The court has no feeling at all, and it doesn’t seem like it, even if it’s not a big deal, it’s true that it’s still confident.
Chapter completed!
