Chapter 1528 Xu Jie, you are very courageous
"Governor of the six provinces?" Emperor Jiajing looked at Xu Jie, looking at him intensely for two seconds, Xu Jie's heartbeat was beating like a drum. At that time, he gently pulled the corner of his mouth, smiled slightly, and said One sentence, "Xu Jie, are you very courageous?"
"I am afraid that the Holy Spirit will forgive me." Xu Jie was originally stared at by Emperor Jiajing and was so scared. Now after listening to Emperor Jiajing's words, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat on his back. Risking it, he fell to his knees with a bang and apologized repeatedly.
Yan Song could not 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, I would have to bear with the Holy Spirit's courageous comment.
Li Mo's mood was a little 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, proposed 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 they have made suggestions or not. If Jiangnan's war against Japanese invaders is compared to a game of chess, there is a huge difference between setting up a governor or not. If you do not set up a governor, it will be a messy game and a dead game. No matter you suggest deploying troops or generals or adding warships, etc., without a governor, you will be fighting on your own, and the result can only be the failure of Gu Beigong Half; if a governor is set up and there is unified dispatch and command, this game of chess will come alive, and people can be put to their best use, materials and talents can be fully utilized, and strategies can be fully utilized, so that the great plan of destroying the Japanese can get 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, Xu Jie, Yan Song's licking dog, was reprimanded by the Holy Emperor. He should be happy in his heart, 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, Guangxi, and Fujian are not enough. If you include Huguang, the soldiers and horses in Huguang will also belong to the Governor-General. Unify the plan, and at the same time, I grant the governor-general the chance to The governor-general has the power to make decisions, whether to deploy troops or fight, without asking me for instructions. The governor-general can just dispatch troops and fight directly."
Emperor Jiajing chuckled and teased Xu Jie. , and then spoke in an astonishing way.
“Ah? Not only was the Holy Spirit not angry, but he actually adopted Xu Jie’s bold suggestion?”
“Huh? Huguang was also assigned to the Governor-General, and troops were mobilized from seven provinces. The power of payment is too great.”
"What? Did I hear it correctly? The Holy Father actually allowed the governor-general to be given the power to directly dispatch troops and conduct operations?! 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 quickly, and 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. What he just said was indeed spoken by the Holy One.
Of course, the one who was most surprised and felt the most was Xu Jie, who was kneeling and making suggestions.
Unexpectedly, the Holy Emperor not only adopted 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 Emperor ascended the throne at a young age. At the beginning of his accession to the throne, he eradicated the corruption of the previous dynasty and made a new one. It is precisely because of the Holy One that our Ming Dynasty has another sign of revival! If not, if His Majesty had not become obsessed with fasting and refining elixirs, and could not devote himself wholeheartedly to governing the country, otherwise, our Ming Dynasty would usher in another prosperous age!
Thinking of this, while Xu Jie was extremely complimentary of Emperor Jiajing, he couldn't help but feel a little pity.
However, Xu Jie soon became full of confidence again. Although the Holy One is obsessed with making elixirs during fasting, but like today, he always makes a wise and heroic decision in every major event, and is not influenced by outsiders. In the future, after seeing through the futility of elixirs, there is still hope.
Emperor Jiajing looked at the surprised expressions of everyone with satisfaction. He twitched the corners of his mouth and showed a scornful smile. He said domineeringly, "Is it possible that all the people in the world are the kings and the rulers? On the other side of the river, is it the king's minister? I still have this confidence. As long as it is convenient to suppress the Japanese, not to mention the seven provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, it doesn't matter what the military power of the world is."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is wise!" Xu Jie kowtowed to the ground and said sincerely. After kowtowing, he raised his head and then admonished, "Your Majesty, the power of dispatching troops from the six provinces is already heavy. If Huguang is added to it, I'm afraid it will be a bit too heavy. .”
"Haha, I have just said it. In the whole world, is it the land of the king? On the shore of the land, is it the ministers of the king? No matter whether it is seven provinces or eight provinces, they are all my ministers! You can also translate Damn it! You are so brave! It is still too small, and the structure is too small. Since we need to set up a governor-general, we should set it up to the end and put it in place to give the greatest convenience to Jiangnan in suppressing Japanese pirates, eliminate Jiangnan Japanese pirates in the shortest time, and save the people of Jiangnan from harm. All They are my people, how can I just sit back and do nothing?"
"I can't wait to see the great talent and the heart of loving the people." Yan Song was the first to sing a hymn after Emperor Jiajing's words. .
“The Holy One loves the people like his children.”
“The Holy One is wise.”
"Everyone in the world will be lucky to meet the Holy One in three lifetimes, no, ten lifetimes."
After Yan Song spoke, many ministers, including Xu Jie, joined in 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. Do you have any other suggestions for destroying the Japanese? Come together one by one."
Emperor Jiajing waved his sleeves, sat arrogantly on the dragon chair, waved his hand angrily, and urged.
"Your Majesty, during the Hongwu period, Japanese pirates invaded, and Xin Guogong Tanghe was ordered to manage the coastal defense. In the coastal areas 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 Afterwards, the law was relaxed and disadvantages arose, and the soldiers had the disadvantage of being released from duty, so the rich became stronger. The old and weak were put into service, and the warships were damaged and abandoned, so that the Japanese pirates took advantage of the situation and entered the areas under their jurisdiction. , clearing out the backlog of materials and silver accumulated over the years to build warships.”
The cabinet minister Lu Ben came out and said with cupped hands.
“Yes.” Emperor Jiajing nodded and adopted Lu Ben’s suggestion. (End of this chapter)
