Chapter seven hundred and seventy eight different minds

Zhang Yue, whose courtesy name was Shimin, was from Huating, Songjiang. He was a Jinshi in the fourth year of Tianshun (1460 AD) and was appointed as the chief minister of the Ministry of Justice. During the Chenghua period, he was appointed as the assistant minister of Jiangxi. He was promoted to the governor of Zhejiang and refused to request a request. During the reign of Emperor Xiaozong, he was the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel. He was appointed as the Minister of War in Nanjing. He was the Minister of War in Nanjing. He wrote five volumes of Ding'an Collection, and the general catalog of the four libraries was passed down to the world.

Facing Zhang Yue's inquiry, Duke Xu had to give him some thin face, frowned, and slowly turned around.

"Shangshu Zhang, in fact, Xu had already made suggestions to the Ministry of War before, but the Ministry of War ignored Xu's words. Now, he came to ask Xu again, what's the reason?"

"This?" Zhang Yue was speechless. Yes, why did he be so forgetful? More than a month ago, Mr. Xu advised him that the rebellion in southern Xinjiang is too frequent and there are more bandits than Niu Mao. He asked him to thoroughly investigate the matter and should prepare emergency plans. However, he had taken these things lightly before, thinking that the situation in southern Xinjiang was stable. Although there were slight attacks by bandits, the overall situation was safe, so he did not pay attention to it. He was just idle after seeing it and did not pay attention to it.

Now, there are suddenly so many rebellions, and they have endangered the rule of the Nanjing court, which cannot be avoided no matter what! But after ordering the localities to deal with it, I was helpless. After all, the army cannot be mobilized at will, it is nothing more than the word money and grain. These two words will die. After all, it is more difficult to temporarily requisition money and grain than climbing to the sky. First, the Nanjing court does not have so much money and materials to support the needs of the army; second, I still have to worry about the affairs of Nanjing and cannot control the affairs of various provinces in southern Xinjiang, but put Nanjing's defense in uselessness. At that time, if the bandits rebel against our Nanjing but have no countermeasures, that would be a joke!

Therefore, they looked forward and did not dare to order. So someone came up with an idea. Mr. Xu had not already expressed his awareness that the rebellion in southern Xinjiang was about to arise, and he had suggested several times to purify the bandits in southern Xinjiang, but he put it aside. If Mr. Xu was dragged into the water, one thing was that he was the garrison of Nanjing, and the other thing was that he was not close to the people. Even if he was angry, he would never listen to it now. He would definitely take action. At that time, he would drag it into the water. At least the court would not investigate it. By then, he would win time and Mr. Xu would get what he wanted. Wouldn't everyone be happy!

However, I missed Mr. Xu’s resentment, and it was quite a bit.

But it doesn’t matter, at worst I can give up this face!

"Mr. Xu, this is a bad statement!" After Zhang Yue put a face on his face, an official from the Ministry of War next to him jumped out of it, shook his head at Mr. Xu and said, "Before, our Minister of War, Mr. Zhang, had actually included your opinions in a major secret. However, because the matter was too strange, he was cautious and cautious, and he was serious and heavy, which led to no conclusion yet. Don't blame our Minister of War!"

"Nonsense!" Mr. Xu looked at him disdainfully, cursing in his heart, a flatterer!

“Is there any result?”

Facing Mr. Xu's question, Zhang Yue and others were speechless. Although Zhang Yue could show off his qualifications, the situation in southern Xinjiang is so complicated now that he is really unsure! After all, he is not a brave general in the battle formation and cannot determine whether these bandits can be pacified. All of this depends on Duke Xu to plan in it. Therefore, it is not embarrassing to bow his head at this time.

On the contrary, if I really regard this as a great humiliation, then I will bear the responsibility of the fall of southern Xinjiang tomorrow. At that time, the court will order a reprimand, and I will be unable to bear it! It is not pleasing to you inside and outside!

Why bother?

"Mr. Xu, in fact, Lord Zhang has sent someone to various provinces to convey the instructions. Of course, this is a secret and cannot be announced!" A minister next to him stepped forward and explained.

"What do you mean is Xu making an unreasonable fuss here?" Mr. Xu glared at him and said in a deep voice.

"This? I dare not, I dare not!" The minister was so scared that he retreated repeatedly. Isn't it heard that people in Nanjing? Because after the incident happened to the young master some time ago, Mr. Xu was very unstable and would kill people at any time and be buried with him. Just imagine, under such circumstances, how dare they disobey Mr. Xu's intentions? Naturally, they followed and obeyed!

"I dare not say anything? Is Xu's words reasonable or not? You have to give me some explanation?" Mr. Xu looked at Zhang Yue in a very calm manner.

"Okay, I'll give Mr. Xu a reason!" Zhang Yue's face was solemn, "Actually, Zhang has regretted it. He should have really listened to Mr. Xu's reminder and immediately warned all provinces in southern Xinjiang to be vigilant of the bandit rebellion, and issued strict orders to suppress the bandits. In that case, the bandits would be in a panic and dare not come out to cause trouble. The situation would definitely be under our control."

"But now, just because Zhang's slow reaction made the situation uncontrollable, and the Nanjing court was in danger. If this rebellion in the southern Xinjiang cannot be suppressed, it will be used by the bandits and gain the initiative. Zhang is really to blame!"

"Okay, don't give us ecstasy medicine anymore!" Mr. Xu shivered, stopped Zhang Yue from blaming himself again, and rolled his eyes.

"Then what do we should do now?" Zhang Yue said happily when he knew that Mr. Xu had already revealed this section.

"In fact, it is very simple. Sending troops to assist various provinces. Of course, it is also necessary to distinguish between far and near relatives. The principle of proximity must be adopted! Liberate one by one and pacify them. Otherwise, lack of greed will only cause the situation to collapse! Let us fall into a dilemma!" Mr. Xu said in a deep voice.

"That's it, that's it!" Zhang Yue nodded and agreed.

Mr. Xu looked at Zhang Yue disdainfully. This guy only knew how to push the committee, but he didn't know that all this could have been avoided. Before, the envoy Wang had notified us, but we didn't care and were suspicious. Now it seems that we were so stupid at that time!

"Okay, it's useless to regret it now. It's better to start now, work together, put aside all obstacles and all constraints, and focus on pacifying southern Xinjiang as the top priority. All services for this will inevitably reverse the situation in southern Xinjiang! What's more, don't we still have the last piece of Yunnan Province?"

Zhang Yue frowned, and a trace of indescribable emotions flashed in his eyes, but he was soon covered up.

Even Mr. Xu, who was so close to him, could not detect it.

"Now, we have to pay attention to the changes in the situation in Yunnan. We must understand the inside story as soon as possible in order to make a good judgment on the situation in southern Xinjiang." Mr. Xu said in a deep voice, thinking and inferred.

"Why is this?" Zhang Yue frowned.

"Actually, I have learned about the situation in Yunnan. It is very good for the official army now. The only thing I am puzzled about is why the bandits and Maitreya have not taken measures to deal with it yet!" Mr. Xu said slowly. Obviously, he was considering what words could be said and what words could not be said.

"How do you say this?" Zhang Yue was not a fool, so he quickly asked.

"Didn't Zhang Shangshu watch the battle report in Yunnan?" Mr. Xu was puzzled.

You should know that the most important chaos in southern Xinjiang was the rebellion of bandits in Yunnan Province, which was a turbulent upside down. How could we not know? But obviously, judging from his reaction now, he did not take it seriously at all! Moreover, he did not pay attention, otherwise, he thought that with Prince Mu, the King of Yunnan, and with the Mu family army in Yunnan, the Yunnan Province would not be in chaos. Even if it was in chaos, Prince Mu would be able to correct the situation soon.

However, this idea is wrong!

Not to mention Prince Mu, even the entire court had insufficient judgment on the situation in Yunnan, which caused wars in Yunnan Province and bandits to kill everywhere, but there was no way, and they could only recover one by one. Moreover, the epidemic made the province of Yunnan Province frustrated, but there was no way. If it weren't for the ordinary people like Wang Shouren and Ming Zhongxin, they would have been afraid that the situation in Yunnan would have been in chaos!

Now, it is still the people who have tried their best to stop the situation in Yunnan Province, which makes the situation in Yunnan Province awesome. Moreover, according to the news he has obtained recently, if the imperial envoy Wang Shouren had not used unconventional methods, I am afraid that the Yunnan Province has been full of scars, and there is no room for him and others to discuss.

I guess at this time the garrisons of the Nanjing court had all gone out to Yunnan to quell the rebellion.

After all, although Yunnan is on the border, its location is extremely important, and it borders several countries. All of this makes Yunnan's status extremely important. If it is not careful, it will be a trivial matter to cause disputes between countries. If the border countries are allowed to unite to resist the Ming Dynasty, it will be a big deal!

By then, if the control of Yunnan is lost and the Maitreya bandits are used by the Maitreya Association, the situation in southern Xinjiang is chaotic and the ethnic minorities of the chieftains have different ambitions. That is a big deal!

At that time, whether the southern border can be preserved is still a moon in the water! How can we quell the rebellion?

All this was known to any official in the Nanjing court, but he did not dare to make it public. After all, whoever proposed it first would definitely bear this responsibility.

This is definitely a mistake that people in the officialdom will not make! It is even more a sadness for people in the officialdom!

It is also the sorrow of the imperial envoy Wang Shouren and Ming Zhongxin sent by the capital court!

But who are you blamed for this?

Fortunately, Ming Zhongxin and Wang Shouren were quite smart, and they were still smart. They made arrangements in advance so that the situation in southern Xinjiang would not worsen to the point where it would be uncontrollable.

With his own letters and the deterrence and influence brought by the title of Emperor Wang Shouren, the governors' army in various provinces in southern Xinjiang will not be unprepared.

Although he used his reputation and the power of the imperial envoy to call some troops from various provinces, he was still within the scope of the situation. In addition, the rebellion in southern Xinjiang was consistent with his previous guesses and the imperial envoy. The commanders of the governors and commanders of the ministry must have understood the correctness of themselves and others. In addition, their preparations, the situation in southern Xinjiang will not be too ugly. As long as there is a response, the southern Xinjiang will not be too chaotic and will not make the bandits too easy to succeed.

All of this has room for recovery!

Of course, no such thing can be said to Zhang Yue now. Not only are he afraid that he will be angry, but he is also afraid that he will destroy his plan with the imperial envoy. At this time, he knew that the variables were too great, so he could only follow his ideas and send reinforcements, and then assist him with his and Wang Shouren's previous arrangements, so that the situation in southern Xinjiang can be improved within a controllable range. At that time, he will give the greatest credit to Zhang Yue, the Minister of War of Nanjing. Then, Zhang Yue will be very happy and everything will be solved!

That's right, that's it!

Thinking of this, Mr. Xu no longer pretentiously, nor dares to be pretentious. After all, this matter is not only related to the future of us, but also to the stability of southern Xinjiang and the lives of thousands of people in southern Xinjiang. Therefore, this is the most important thing! Let’s talk about our response!

"Mr. Zhang!" Mr. Xu's face turned solemn, "Actually, my country's Duke had already transmitted the information to the provincial capitals and departments before. Of course, it was in the name of the Ministry of War. This is beyond doubt! Here, I would like to forgive my country's Duke for being in trouble! Here, my country's Duke apologized to Lord Shangshu!"

As he said that, Mr. Xu lowered his head and apologized.

When Zhang Yue heard this, he was a little dumbfounded, and his mind turned around and analyzed the pros and cons! His eyes lit up. After all, no one of them was foolish to be able to hold such an important position in Nanjing’s Minister of War. He naturally understood that Mr. Xu was rid of his responsibilities, but instead took precautions in the name of foresight. Moreover, in the name of Nanjing’s Ministry of War, then, wouldn’t he be unable to get rid of the greatest contribution?

"Okay, okay, okay!" Zhang Yue applauded repeatedly, his eyes full of joy.

In this way, not only can I get rid of my own responsibility for failing to supervise, but I can also see it in the capital and court in the name of foresight. If I were in the emperor's heart, I might be able to transfer back to the capital and serve as the Minister of War in the capital. At that time, it would be possible!

As an old official, Zhang Yue forced his selfishness and looked at Mr. Xu, but his mouth was still awe-inspiring, "All this is the most important thing for the lives of the people in southern Xinjiang, and it is not too much. This Secretary will forgive you for your own actions!"

Mr. Xu smiled softly and knew that the first level had passed, "Thank you, Lord Zhang, but now the southern border is in chaos. Our first priority is to control these important traffic roads, not allow the bandits to flee everywhere, and never lose indecisions for the gains and losses of time and place!"

"That's natural!" Zhang Yue nodded.

He knew that Mr. Xu was actually a change of desire to block the news. Limiting the news from southern Xinjiang to southern Xinjiang will not cause it to spread north. Of course, the news will inevitably be unable to stop the spread to the capital of the northern Xinjiang. However, as long as the official rumors have not arrived, the operation space is still quite large.

At that time, the capital and court questioned us. At worst, it would be said that the situation was changing, and those were just rumors! After all, everything should be based on the news from the Minister of War in Nanjing!
