Chapter 567.

The crowd looked at Zhang Anshi.

Zhu Di was obviously quite interested in Zhang Anshi’s dissent, so he said, “What is Zhang Qing’s opinion?”

Zhang Anshi said, ”If the court backs down, instead of quickly stabilizing people’s hearts, they will think that they have the capital to bargain with the court. Right now, since someone is plotting a rebellion, then it might be a good idea to immediately deploy men and horses to prepare for the counter-insurgency. Otherwise, once the amnesty, then in many people watching, will be that the court is afraid, then today if because of this amnesty, then tomorrow and meet other things, is not …… again to amnesty? The so-called day arch a pawn, at that time, the court can not retreat.”

Zhang Anshi paused and continued, “Instead of that, we should take thunderbolt measures and never let the thieves succeed.”

Zhang Anshi’s words were obviously very moving to Zhu Di.

Because Zhu Di is to rely on the right to get the world, rely on force to solve the problem, this is Zhu Di’s path to rely on.

However, Zhu Di also quite trusts Yang Rong, and knows that Yang Rong’s words have his reasons.

Sure enough, Yang Rong said, “What the King of Song said, is not without reason, just that what I am concerned about is that the thieves are spread all over the world, and if the court is deploying troops, then it is not inevitable that they may be stretched to the limit left and right. Dare I ask, now that Fujian Buzhengji has rebelled, how many men and horses does the court need to deploy, and Guangxi Buzhengji has also rebelled, how many men and horses do I need to deploy?”

Here he deliberately paused and continued, “How much grain and grass will be needed for the troops to start? How is the transportation of grain and grass? So much grain and grass, through so many states and counties, and these states and counties …… have begun to wait and see, are they really will sincerely support the court to pacify the rebellion? If at this time …… there are thieves, take advantage of the situation, suddenly attacked my Ming rations, and how?”

“Within a short period of time, it is against two places, it is evident that many people, is already stupid, at this time has no way out, determined to fight with their backs to the water. Thus, the court will have to do the worst intention, that is …… the world will swarm up at least twenty or even thirty local rebels and rebels, then how many men and horses will the court need, and how many hours and days will it take to pacify the rebellion?”

“Taking a step back, once the imperial army arrives, these rebels, who have been moving around in their own townships, know their way around, and as soon as the official army arrives, they will immediately hide in the mountains or collude with the local gentry to hide, so what should they do? What then? Will the government troops stay there permanently? If the rebellion is prolonged, it will definitely cause inconvenience to the local people, and the local people will also suffer if they are victimized by the thieves. Your Majesty, such a rebel, not to invade the invasion of my Ming border of the Hu people and Tartars, and even more unusual mutiny of the official army rebellion, but the local people, they are constantly raiding, and everywhere the beacon, I am worried about, not only the people, but the exhausted official army, rolling thousands of miles, over time, the morale is bound to be frustrated.”

Yang Rong then looked at Zhang Anshi and said: ”Your Highness the King of Song, the situation is different between fighting against the rebels and countering the rebellion, of course, the Model Battalion is the elite, so once they encountered the foreign enemy, they will be able to overcome the enemy and win the battle. But if the model battalion of the army, after rolling thousands of miles, arrived at the rebel entrenchment place, but when they found that they encountered the rebels, dressed in ordinary people’s clothing, and even a lot of women and children with the army, then …… they can still do to kill and decisive? Even if you can do it, but this kind of counterinsurgency after a long time, then …… the soldiers killed for a long time, their morale will be how? These rebels, will never choose to engage in a duel with the official army, will be to roam around, and this …… and how to deal with it?”

He let out a long sigh and said, ”Your Majesty, what I am worried about is exactly this! Of course, the world out of the rebels, of course, we must quickly put down the rebellion is good, this at any time, are absolutely not to be tolerated. But today’s situation, but has been the court’s current situation does not fit, now …… around the railroad has been under construction, once the railroad through, then …… pacification of the rebels has become a breeze, where the rebels, the government troops can immediately take the steam locomotive towards the night, a steady flow of grain and grass, but also a steady flow of grain and grass, but also a steady flow of grain and grass, but also a steady flow of grain and grass, but also a steady flow of grain and grass. A steady flow of grain and grass, can also be supplied with the railroad. So I thought, right now can be amnesty, the purpose of amnesty, not to compromise, but for the court to fight for time, as long as the fight to the world everywhere in the railroad can be largely through, by then …… again such a conspiracy of rebellion, will be able to easily break the thief.”

“On the contrary, now, not to mention the other, alone Guangxi, Fujian two places, all have 100,000 mountains, rugged roads, food transit difficulties, thieves at any time can be far away from the mountains into the sea, which will not only because of successive wars, and make the people victimized, but also make the imperial court to increase a large number of burdens, and once the thieves if you can not be quickly eliminated, so that they can also be in the mountains in the roaming, the world! If other places respond, the situation will be even more irreparable. Also please your majesty …… to the world’s life as a thought, rather than just show off the courage of a moment, the court waited up.”

His words caused Zhu Di to immediately fall into silence.

So much so that Zhang Anshi was silent.

Yang Rong laid out the actual situation, model battalion is certainly powerful, but as a guest army, after a long journey, arrived at the front line, can encounter, most likely, is the soldiers wrapped ordinary people! And the road there is rugged, mountainous, supply is also a big problem, not only that, is the other side is familiar with the terrain, once far away, but also the problem of pursuit.

Of course, these are not important, the important thing is …… clearly as long as the first stabilize the hearts and minds of the people, the railroad will be repaired, then …… right now these counterinsurgency difficulties, can be solved.

That’s why it must be amnesty, the first to stabilize the people, and then the court wholeheartedly build the railroad, and when all the dust settles, even if the autumn settling of scores, is not impossible.

Zhu Di with his hands behind his back, pacing, his face has the color of hesitation, and then fiercely looked at Xie Jin, said: “Xie Qing thought how?”

Xie Jin said: “I thought, Yang Gong is the words of the state, today’s plan, indeed this is the most favorable to the court.”

Hu Guang also said, “I second the motion.”

Jin Youzi, who has been silent, also said: “Your Majesty, ruling a large country is like cooking a small food, a moment of anger is nothing, the so-called gentleman revenge, ten years is not too late, also said: nine worlds of vengeance, can also be reported! For ordinary people, naturally, to fight for the length of a day, but for the court, a few years of time, and what does it count? The current situation, but is Yang Gong’s words, the most stable, the court should first put the mind on the implementation of the railroad, which is the most important.”

Zhu backs his hand and stops, he’s silent again.

Wen Yuan Ge chose to be on the opposite side of Zhang Anshi almost lopsidedly, but of course, Zhu Di knew deep down that their words did have merit.

Even the most bloodthirsty period of Zhu Di, only to choose to hold back.

Just …… even if Zhu Di recovered his sanity, but also know that, the reason is so a reason, but a thought, to this time, he even have to choose amnesty, choose to these damn conceal the household registration of the stolen officials and gentry to choose to compromise, which can not help but to make Zhu Di such as fish bone in the throat, for a moment, actually can not help but long sigh up.

He couldn’t help but say quietly, “Although Yang Qing’s words are not in my heart, it is quite reasonable, hey ……”

Even as an emperor, many times, you don’t get to do as you please.

In Zhu Di’s internal struggle, Zhang Anshi said, “Your Majesty, I thought that Yang Gong’s words, is certainly the old man to plan for the country, but there is a, quite a miscalculation.”

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi and said, “Speak.”

Zhang Anshi said: “I was thinking, these scholars, in the end, how popular, can wrap up so many people, Yang Gong said, if the official army rolling around, and need to allocate a large number of supplies and munitions, now the railroad is not yet through, indeed elimination, time-consuming and laborious. What is more, once the world has many thieves respond, then …… the court must be anxious. Then …… I thought, why not as …… I only temporarily need a military horse, that is, three or five thousand model battalion, can be fire to pacify the rebellion, your majesty only need to order the minister to pacify the general of this rebellion.”

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi in surprise and said, “How many hours will it take?”

“Within three months ……,” Zhang Anshi said thoughtfully.

Zhu Di and Yang Rong and the others looked at each other, and then, Zhu Di came to be interested.

Yang Rong certainly has a point.

But I can’t help that Zhang Anshi is cheap.

An appointment, given to a few thousand men, and if the rebellion could be put down within three months, then all the difficulties which Yang Rong and others had spoken of would cease to exist.

So this is a very tangled Zhu Di, suddenly invigorated, said, “Three or five thousand people …… is not less? After all, it is a guest army, and a long journey …… If the thieves flee on the wind, I am afraid that it will be even more protracted ……”

Zhang Anshi, on the other hand, smiled calmly and said, “Your Majesty …… three to five thousand people, enough.”

The way he acted, he couldn’t even look halfway embarrassed.

Words to this point, Zhu Di immediately said: “If you can pacify these thieves, you can make other stupid thieves no longer dare to breed delusion, this is for the Ming, really is the world’s credit, Secretary to do, if it is accomplished, I do not begrudge the reward.”

Finally got Zhu Di s promise, Zhang Anshi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, “Obey the decree, please allow Your Majesty to allow the minister …… to go to prepare at fire speed.”

Zhu Di nodded and said, “And go, how much you need, feel free to report.”

Zhang Anshi no longer hesitate, immediately said goodbye and left the palace.

Things turned around a bit too quickly, and this moment, instead, caused Yang Rong and the others to wind up in a mess.

This kind of thing, can not afford to rack is the inner volume ah, you sell things, said the mouth dry, it is difficult to let the buyer believe that you this thing how rare, process how much time and effort, how high the cost, the results of the next door someone to come up to the next line, to a line of this goods I also have a, a penny you take away.

Yang Rong in the embarrassment, but also can not help but give birth to curiosity, in fact, careful thought, if Zhang Anshi really can do these, then …… his worries, it is indeed superfluous.

After all, compromising with the rebels and traitors would have required the court to pay a price, and it would certainly be better if the rebellion could be quelled at a rapid pace and losses minimized.

Yang Rong said, “Your Majesty, the words of His Highness the King of Song ……”

Zhu Di rare language heavy deep long said: “His words, indeed quite a few teach incredible, three months although not short, but …… even if the army to start, arrived at the rebels where, may not be three months can also do …… but …… Zhang Qing this more than ten years, repeatedly set up a miraculous achievement, I at this time …… would like to see, how he built another miraculous achievement.”

Xie Jin people, also can not help but nod secretly.

In fact, Zhu’s words could also be said to be the heartfelt words of several people present. They are not dealing with Zhang Anshi for a day and a half, in their opinion, Zhang Anshi belongs to the category of freaks, and can no longer be guessed by common sense.

On the contrary, Yang Rong is still with a few uneasiness, “Your Majesty, is it better to prepare for the worst? Once the counterinsurgency is protracted …… then the court ……”

Zhu Di thought about it, looked a little hesitant, and finally said, “You can make preparations, and look at the progress of the war, and then decide!”

This was considered the most eclectic approach, and Yang Rong couldn’t say anything else.

Xie Jin people since there is no objection, have said to comply with the decree, then retired.

And at that moment, Zhang Anshi returned to his royal residence without stopping.

Once he arrived at the royal residence, however, he was instantly invigorated.

In fact, Zhang Anshi also do not like to roll, only, when Yang Rong and others proposed a general amnesty, there is no better way under, so that Zhang Anshi had to make a military order.

It’s not that Zhang Anshi is a homicidal maniac who has to quell the rebellion.

As a matter of fact, Zhang Anshi would be more than willing to settle the matter peacefully if he could.

But Zhang Anshi is well aware that the court has made a compromise once, there may be a second time, and this kind of thing …… will form a path dependence.

This is nothing more than a vicious circle and not the best way to solve the problem!

Besides, he is also very clear that the local officials and gentry in the world are actually observing the attitude of the imperial court, and Zhang Anshi has a great certainty of quelling the rebellion, of course …… willing to choose the fast and furious way.

It was not long before many people came to pay their respects.

Zhu Yong and Zhang Yoking, two generals of the Model Battalion.

Chen Li, Commander of the Jinyiwei.

Secretary of Postal Service Humu.

Not a lot of people came, but every single one of them, was a top priority.

While at this moment, Zhang Anshi had already lifted his pen, swished and wrote down an order, and as soon as Hu Mu arrived, he immediately said to Hu Mu, “On the side of the Postal Division, convey and carry out this order, and be quick! Remember, no matter what method is used, it must be conveyed.”

Hu Mu received the order, only looked down at a glance, but the face is still spoiled color, to be honest, this more than a year, he is also considered to have seen the world, life can be described as ups and downs, and now the general shock, has been simply unable to let him lose his temper.

So Hu Mu said calmly, “Here.”

Zhang Anshi then looked at Chen Li and said, “The Jinyiwei has been informed of the news of the rebellion, right?”

Chen Li immediately said, “Your Highness, has long been grasped, I have long been in the selection of elite soldiers and strong generals, ready at any time to go to the Fujian Buzhengzhi and Guangxi Buzhengzhi, to strengthen the strength of the Jinyiwei there.”

Zhang Anshi nodded: “Any news, should be immediately reported, the rebels ravaged the place, all the lieutenants, still have to do their respective duties, such as if encountered a special situation, can be ordered to lurk on the spot.”

“Here.”

On the contrary, Zhu Yong, who was on the side, could not help but say, “Has His Majesty decreed to quell the rebellion yet?”

Zhu Yong looked a bit impatient, in fact, he could be said to be smiling from ear to ear after hearing the news of the rebellion.

Several of their brothers, Zhang Anshi needless to say, even the stupid Qusong, now also has a fiefdom, set up a miraculous feat, the wind is not, but to teach Zhu Yong and Zhang Yoking, can not help but be extraordinarily hot eyes.

The two of them, one of them was drilling the military officers and the other was drilling the military horses.

Drill military officer is Zhang Yoking, in fact, is the establishment of a set of model battalion officer system, the cultivation of which has become formalized, in this way, can be for the future of the Ming army horse, provide a steady stream of backbone.

And drill military horse, since Zhu Yong, model battalion has been several times expanded, the number has been to eighty-nine million more, such a huge elite soldiers and horses, in this era, is really terrible.

Looking at Zhu Yong, Zhang Anshi but pulled down his face, “What are you laughing at?”

“No, did not laugh.” Zhu Yong immediately skimmed off his mouth and drooped his head, “Big brother, I was shocked to hear the bad news, I was heartbroken, how there is a rebel again, big brother does not believe me, you can ask the third brother, the third brother knows that I am heartbroken.”

On the side, Zhang Yoking said, “Big brother, I won t hide it from you, the second …… brother has no heartache, he is happy.”

Zhu Yong: “……”

Knew the piggy bank was out in the brotherhood.

Zhang Anshi looked at the aphasic Zhu Yong, and then looked at the honest face of Zhang Yoking, but did not get angry, but could not help but say, “Hey …… gossip is not much to say, you are happy or not happy, right now, His Majesty has passed down the word of mouth, ordered me to supervise this matter. Of course, everything has to wait until the holy decree comes down to say, nowadays …… the thieves are rampant, the model battalion …… also have to do a good job in advance to pacify the rebellion of the psychological preparation.”

Zhu Yong immediately said: “Big brother don’t worry, soldiers come to block the water and earth cover, not to mention the district vermin, that is, even more elite soldiers and horses, in front of us, is not cut melon and cut vegetables in general easy? These should kill the thieves, it seems to be itchy skin, even do not know our power.”

Zhang Anshi, however, stood up, and he winked at Chen Li as well as Hu Mu, as if he had something that he wanted to say to Zhu Yong and Zhang Yoking, whereupon the two of them understood, and they took their leave.

In this hall, there were then only three brothers left.

Only then did Zhang Anshi walk to Zhu Yong’s side, patted his shoulder, and said to Zhu Yong, “Second brother, you’re in a hurry to make a mark now, aren’t you?”

Zhu Yong seems to be poked through the heart, the face can not help but a red, then muttered: “anxious is anxious a little, but …… if the third brother also want to make a merit …… I let him is not not not…. …”

Zhang Anshi laughed, but said, “What if …… I say that this time you can not establish the size of the credit ……”

“Ah …… this ……”

Seeing that both of them showed disappointment.

Zhang Anshi but sighed: “To blame only blame big brother, this model battalion this knife, grinding too sharp, but also grinding too fast, the so-called good warrior without Herculean success, is so. This time to pacify the rebellion, can use the model battalion is not much, so the two brothers …… are only afraid to endure a little more.”

Zhu Yong was acute and couldn’t help but say, “If we don’t use the Model Battalion, which other army can we use? Is it not that railroad division’s road guards?”

Zhang Anshi, however, mysteriously hooked up a smirk and said, “No one needs to, big brother I want to scatter beans!”
