"Since the general of Gansu is vacant, are there any other candidates?" Zhu Youxiao looked around the ministers below and asked.

Zhang Weixian said: "I report to Your Majesty, and I suggest that you can appoint Ma Yong, the Governor of Gansu East Road!"

"Oh?" Zhu Youxiao looked over and asked lightly:

"Is there anything special about this Ma Yong?"

Zhang Weixian thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, Ma Yong was a subordinate of the border guard for many years. His courtesy name was Tianxi. He was from Qian'an. He was born Kui'an. He was smart and skilled. He was good at military arts. He especially liked to read "Zuo's Spring and Autumn"..."

While he was talking, Wei Zhongxian thoughtfully praised Ma Yong's hometown and his experience since he was the general.

This made Zhang Weixian a little embarrassed, but he could only continue to speak with a tough bullet.

Zhu Youxiao was a little surprised. How did this guy do what he could ask and answer every court meeting? He was prepared so well?

Actually, thinking about it, Xiao Ruxun passed away a few days ago, and the news must have reached the capital a long time ago, but it was only brought to the court meeting today to discuss it.

Wei Zhongxian naturally guessed that the court would discuss at this meeting who would succeed the next Ningxia general. After all, Ningxia is also one of the important towns on the nine borders, and the military preparation area should not be without a commander for a day.

Ma Yong, the general who has been guarding the East Road of Ningxia for many years, has outstanding military achievements, and is highly prestigious among the Ningxia border troops, is naturally an excellent candidate.

Since Wei Zhongxian was determined, Zhu Youxiao was happy to save trouble. After taking the booklet and looking carefully, he suddenly realized that Ma Yong was indeed a talented person.

In the 32nd year of Wanli, he was the commander of the Jinwu Left Guard. The following year he defeated the thief and promoted the commander of the capital to the Tongzhi.

At that time, the government was in chaos and the Western barbarians frequently invaded the territory. Chen Qian, the general of the Eastern Road of Gansu, was afraid of war and avoided the war. The Western barbarians led the Han ministers to advance dozens of miles and plundered more than 100,000 people.

The Western Barbarians plundered Ningxia and retreated. Chen Qian, the general of the Eastern Road, was soon impeached by the censor. Emperor Wanli issued an order to dismiss his post and investigate, and finally beheaded and displayed in public.

At this time, Ma Yong defended the Helan Mountain Pass in Ningxia with Xiao Ruxun.

In the third year, in the 36th year of Wanli, the Western Lu, who had tasted the sweetness, invaded the Han tribe again, besieged the Helan Mountain Pass, hoping to plunder again.

Ma Yong, who was the garrison officer at the time, was fearless and led his troops to fight with the Helan Mountains, and repelled the Han troops with heavy artillery in the city.

When the Han army retreated, Ma Yong judged the situation again and led his troops out of seclusion to pursue. The Ming army caught up with the Han army in the Pingluo area, and the two armies then started a fierce melee.

According to the Ministry of War Imperial and Merit Documents, Ma Yong took the lead in this battle and killed the little prince of the Han Dynasty. His troops pursued more than 50 miles, and planned to behead more than 1,600 levels, which was called the Helan Mountain Victory.

After this battle, Ma Yong became famous in one battle. Emperor Wanli was very happy. He was promoted to the sergeant general of Ningxia East Road due to his merits. He has never dared to invade the south again until now.

Ma Yong, a sergeant general from Ningxia East Road, worked for six years.

It was not until the third year of Tianqi that Zhu Xieyuan was ordered to leave the pass and fight the Later Jin Dynasty. Ma Yong followed Xiao Ruxun out of the pass and fought against the Eight Banners of the Jurchens in the battle of Liaodong, and made other contributions.

After reading it, Zhu Youxiao closed the book, but in fact he didn't hear anything Zhang Weixian said, but turned around and said directly:

"The Duke of England said it well, and I thought so too."

"Ma Yong guarded the East Road for many years, and made military achievements. He succeeded as the general of Ningxia. He was granted the left governor of the Later Governor's Office and was appointed as the Prince's Young Guardian."

Zhang Weixian also prepared in advance, but it seems that what he prepared was not as complete as Wei Zhongxian.

This old eunuch actually dug out Ma Yong's birth date and horoscope, and wrote all the merits and demerits of the present in the same book, presented to the emperor for the emperor to read.

And I just prepared some oral words.

But no matter what, the result is good.

Xiao Ruxun's death lost a general for the court, and Ma Yonggao's promotion to Ningxia general was the best result for the nine-sided towns.

As for Wei Zhongxian, he won this time.

When Zhang Weixian thought of this, he said calmly:

"Your Majesty is wise, I will obey the order!"

Wei Zhongxian saw his expression and looked gloating, and then said, "I will obey the imperial edict."

The ministers had nothing to say, let alone Ma Yong's succession, which was a natural result, so naturally there was nothing to deliberately refute.

"Your Majesty's wise!"

Zhu Youxiao's ears were called out to death, and there was no change in his face at all, and he was still as calm as water.

After discussing the civil and political affairs, we will come to the overall meeting of the court. The issues of the Navy Department will be given today.

Wei Guangwei, the chief assistant of the cabinet, knew that he needed to lead himself at this time, so he went out and said:

"I heard from Your Majesty that the Navy Department was established and the order should not be equal to the six ministries. This is the law of the ancestors for thousands of years. It is followed by all generations and must not be changed easily."

"The Navy Department can be renamed the Navy Department. The rank is under the Ministry of War and is directly under the Ministry of War. It can be selected and built in the central Beijing.

As the words came to the ground, there was a loud noise in Huangji Palace for the first time.

Zhu Youxiao said "cough cough" twice, and waited for the hall to be quiet, and asked expressionlessly: "Is this the result of your cabinet and the six ministries discussing for more than half a month?"

This kind of tone doesn't seem like a good thing.

Wei Guangwei's forehead gradually felt sweat from fine sweat, and he nodded respectfully.

As soon as he made a statement, the remaining six ministers all agreed. It seemed that they had already made up their minds to persuade them in such matters.

When Zhu Youxiao saw that his ministers were so determined, he couldn't continue to act alone for a while.

Looking around the ministers, the civil officials almost agreed in unison, and no one on the side of the military officials had any intention of moving.

Obviously, they are not satisfied with the arrangements of the cabinet and the six ministries this time.

In principle, the establishment of the Navy Department is to carry out unified management of the navy divisions in each province. In this way, the status of the navy and military generals will inevitably be raised.

The civil officials suggested that the Ministry be changed to the Ministry, and the ranks are under the jurisdiction and are directly led by the Ministry of War. If this is true, the navy in each province will be controlled by the Ministry of War.

This is really not a good plan for military generals and nobles.

What Zhu Youxiao has to do now is to find a balance in the middle, so that the navy will not be lifted too high, but also satisfy both sides.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Youxiao looked sideways and asked, "I see that the British Duke frowned, as if I have something to say to me?"

Zhang Weixian was stunned, with ten thousand grass and mud horses running by in his heart, but his face looked like an ancient well. He hurriedly stepped out and said:

"Your Majesty knows my intentions, and I do have something to say."

Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly, not saying anything.

Zhang Weixian was the representative of Wuxun, and after the reform, he was in charge of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies. His opinions almost represented the ideas of Wuxun in the world.

The civil officials looked at each other, and even the chief minister of the cabinet, Wei Guangwei, was no exception.

They all wanted to hear what solution could this martial arts leader come up with.

Zhang Weixian was still frowning and his tone was calm: "I agree with the ideas of the cabinet and the six ministries and agreed to change the Naval Army Department to the Naval Army Department."

that's all?

Zhu Youxiao didn't believe it, and no one was present.

Everyone knows that this Zhang Weixian is not a good-looking person. He is not much rougher than Wei Zhongxian at all. There must be some later stories.

Sure enough, Zhang Weixian planned for a while before slowly saying: "The Navy Department should not be directly led by the Ministry of War, but should be directly owned by Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will directly lead the Navy of the whole country!"

Zhu Youxiao was stunned, "What a good guy, I said it very nicely. Didn't this kick the ball back?"

It seems that the person who tied the bell must have to solve the idea himself. In the end, he has to make a decision. However, it is basically impossible for the Sixth Division of the Roots and the Sixth Division to be able to do so!
