"The governor of the six provinces?" Emperor Jiajing looked at Xu Jie for two seconds. When Xu Jie's heart beat like a drum, he gently tugged the corner of his mouth, smiled slightly, and said
One sentence: "Xu Jie, are you very brave?"
"I am afraid that your Majesty will forgive me." Xu Jie was originally stared at by Emperor Jiajing and was so scared. Now after hearing Emperor Jiajing's words, cold sweat broke out on his back. He knelt down with a thud and apologized repeatedly.
Yan Song couldn't help but show a happy expression. Fortunately, he had not yet decided who to recommend as the governor and had no time to express his position. Otherwise, he would also have to bear the Holy Emperor's bold comment.
Li Mo's mood was a bit complicated. Although he looked down on Xu Jie's dog-licking Yan Song, he had to admit that Xu Jie's proposal to establish governors of six provinces was really the key to the current suppression of the Japanese.
Although I have to admit that Yan Song, an old dog, put forward the "Ten Difficulties and Three Strategies" very well, it was Xu Jie's suggestions that made Yan Song's suggestions have the greatest effect. It is no exaggeration to say that Xu Jie's suggestions were the "finishing touch."
pen.
Similarly, Xu Jie's suggestion can also make everyone present have the greatest effect regardless of whether the suggestion is made or not. If Jiangnan's extermination of the Japanese is compared to a game of chess, whether to set up a governor or not is a world of difference.
The difference is. If you don’t set up a governor, it will be a chaotic game, a dead game. No matter you suggest deploying troops or adding warships, etc., without a governor, you will be fighting on your own, and the result can only be
If you set up a governor and have unified dispatching and command, the game of chess will come alive, people will be put to their best use, materials will be put to their best use, and strategies will be put to full use, so that the great plan of destroying the Japanese will be achieved twice the result with half the effort.
It was also because he saw the value of Xu Jie's suggestions that Li Mo felt very complicated when he heard Emperor Jiajing say that Xu Jie was very courageous. Logically speaking, he should be happy that Xu Jie, Yan Song's licking dog, was reprimanded by the Holy Emperor.
, but after seeing the value of Xu Jie's suggestion, he felt a little sympathetic.
Most of the other officials present took pleasure in the misfortune.
Just when everyone in the palace was in various moods, Emperor Jiajing on the throne spoke again.
"Haha, but you are still not brave enough, and your layout is not big enough. The six provinces of Southern Zhili, Zhejiang, Shandong, Guangdong and Guangxi, and Fujian are not enough. Then you will also pass over Huguang. The soldiers and horses of Huguang will also belong to the governor-general.
Unified dispatch, and at the same time, I grant the governor-general the power to make decisions on the fly. No matter whether to deploy troops or fight, there is no need to ask me for instructions. The governor-general can do things expediently and just send out documents to mobilize troops and fight."
Emperor Jiajing chuckled, teased Xu Jie, and then said something shocking.
"Ah? Not only was the Holy One not angry, but he actually adopted Xu Jie's bold suggestion?"
"Huh? It's too big to give Huguang to the governor-general and the power to mobilize troops and raise pay among the seven provinces."
"What? Did I hear that right? The Holy Father actually allowed the governor-general to be given the power to directly mobilize troops and fight?! Then this governor-general is not an ordinary person with great power. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is an uncrowned king."
After hearing Emperor Jiajing's words, all the officials in the palace opened their mouths in surprise. They were shocked, unbelievable, and unbelievable. Holy lord, you turned the corner too fast and too quickly. We were all thrown into the ditch one by one.
Yan Song was also surprised. With his dim eyesight, he almost thought he was hearing something. After seeing everyone's surprised and disbelieving expressions, he was convinced that he was not hearing something and what he just said was indeed spoken by the Holy One.
Of course, the one who was most surprised and deeply touched was His Highness Xu Jie who was kneeling and making suggestions.
Unexpectedly, the Holy Emperor not only accepted his bold suggestion, but also included Huguang as the governor.
The Holy Lord is the true hero!
Xu Jie couldn't help but sigh! It's really a blessing for our Ming Dynasty to have such a holy master!
The Holy One ascended the throne at a young age, and when he came to the throne, he abolished the previous dynasty's corrupt policies and made the government a new one. It is precisely because of the Holy One that our Ming Dynasty had signs of revival! If not, otherwise the Holy One would later become obsessed with it.
You cannot devote yourself to running the country while fasting and refining elixirs. Otherwise, our Ming Dynasty will usher in another prosperous age!
Thinking of this, while Xu Jie highly praised Emperor Jiajing, he couldn't help but feel a little pity.
However, Xu Jie soon became full of confidence again. Although the Holy Spirit was obsessed with making elixirs during the fasting ceremony, like today, he always makes heroic decisions in every major event and is not swayed by outsiders. In the future, after seeing through the futility of elixirs, he can still
Period also.
Emperor Jiajing looked at the surprised expressions of everyone with great satisfaction. He twitched his lips, showed a scornful smile, and said domineeringly, "In the whole world, is it the king's land? On the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers?"
.I, I still have this little confidence. As long as it is convenient to suppress the Japanese, not to mention the seven provinces south of the Yangtze River, it does not matter what the deployment of military power in the world is."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" Xu Jie kowtowed to the ground and spoke sincerely. After kowtowing, he raised his head and then spoke to admonish, "Your Majesty, the power of dispatching troops from the six provinces is already heavy. If Hu and Guang are added, it might not be a bit too heavy.
.”
"Haha, I have just said it. In the whole world, is it the king's land? Is it the land of the king? Is it the king's ministers? No matter whether it is seven provinces or eight provinces, they are all my ministers! Can they turn the world upside down?
!You, you are still too timid, and your structure is too small. Since you want to set up a governor-general, you should set it up to the end and put it in place to give the greatest convenience to Jiangnan in suppressing Japanese pirates. In the shortest time, Jiangnan Japanese pirates can be wiped out, so that the people of Jiangnan can
If you suffer less harm, they are all my people, so there is no reason for me to just sit back and do nothing."
"We can't compare to the sage's great talent and great strategy, and his love for the people." After Emperor Jiajing finished speaking, Yan Song was the first to open his mouth and sing a hymn.
"The Holy One loves his people like his own children."
"The Holy One is wise."
"Everyone in the world will be lucky to meet the Holy One in three lifetimes, no, in ten lifetimes."
After Yan Song spoke, many ministers, including Xu Jie, echoed his words and sang praises to Emperor Jiajing.
"No more flattering words, my ears are getting calloused. Now that the Japanese invasion is approaching Liuyingtian, it is urgent to destroy the Japanese. If you have any other suggestions for destroying the Japanese, please tell me.
.”
Emperor Jiajing waved his Taoist sleeves, sat arrogantly on the dragon chair, waved his hands angrily, and urged.
"Your Majesty, during the Hongwu period, Japanese pirates invaded. You ordered Xin Guogong Tanghe to conduct coastal defense operations. In all areas along the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang, there were cities guarding the land and warships on the water. Therefore, for more than a hundred years, the Japanese pirates did not dare to invade. Later, the law Relaxation occurred, and the soldiers had the disadvantage of being released from duty after receiving materials, so the rich and powerful were released and the old and weak were recruited. The warships were damaged and abandoned and not repaired, so that Japanese pirates took advantage of the situation. Please order the governors of each province to oversee the areas under their jurisdiction. , pre-repair warships to guard key points, hunt down escaped sergeants and collect materials to form an army, and clear out the backlog of materials and silver over the years to build warships."
The cabinet minister Lu Ben came out and held his hands in front of him.
"Yes." Emperor Jiajing nodded and accepted Lu Ben's suggestion.
