Chapter 719: Coastal Defense Strategy
Zhang Jing smiled, but said to Emperor Tianqi: "Your Majesty, I mean it is not just that, but I feel that the European countries are coming in a fierce manner this time, and it is not so simple. This supervisor would like to ask Gao Ming, I... I have to do something about it."
Emperor Tianqi was inevitably surprised by Zhang Jingyi's words.
"What's your business?" Emperor Apocalypse said in surprise: "What do you want to do?"
Zhang Jingyi said: "I can only be the general of the Liaodong Navy."
Emperor Apocalypse: “…”
Emperor Tianqi's expression suddenly became strange, or in other words, he actually thought Zhang Jingyi was stranger.
You know, how far is the difference between the general and the supervisor?
You Zhang Jing ran to do this?
Emperor Aoki asked, "Why?"
Zhang Jingyi said: "The defense along the coast is of great importance. If the minister becomes the supervisor, he can only be dispatched in the middle and be submerged by countless reports and documents. This is indeed not what he is good at. The general of the navy in Liaodong can make me concentrate on it. In this way, I will not worry about the supervisor's duties being too heavy or being slack, but I can also let me manage the Liaodong navy with peace of mind and prepare for the decisive battle with the European countries in the future."
After hearing this, Emperor Tianqi felt that it made some sense.
However, he still felt a little wronged by Zhang Jingyi, so he thought for a moment and said, "Who do you think can be the supervisor?"
This stumped Zhang Jing.
In fact, there are very few people in this world who are truly qualified to be the supervisor.
Because the Supervisor is only a title of "Inspector", it is equivalent to the imperial decree to do something.
Just like a governor, the governor does not theoretically belong to an official position. The real official position is a governor who is often granted the right deputy censor by the court.
As for the supervisor, by the same token, at least one second-rank official needs to convince the public.
But in contrast, there are very few civil officials in the court, above the second rank, and they are not sick. They are not old and have white hair. Even fewer people need help when walking.
Since you are the supervisor, you will be unable to get tired of boats and rides. To be alone, you need to have the energy to deal with the documents of various provinces.
This is obviously not something that ordinary second-rank officials can bear.
Zhang Jing thought for a while and said, "This is going to be the Holy Tribunal of Your Majesty."
In fact, Zhang Jingyi's ideas are different from those of the civil and military officials in the court. Zhang Jingyi believes that to deal with such an enemy, one must attack, and the role of the supervisor is actually to establish coastal defense. Of course, coastal defense is equally important, but Zhang Jingyi feels that he has more important responsibilities.
This matter... involves the provinces along the coast, so there must be someone with prestige and convincing people. Because of this, Zhang Jingyi couldn't get into the mouth.
After all, it is not something that Zhang Jingyi is good at dealing with governors, governors, prefects and county magistrates from all over the country every day.
After hearing this, Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Since that's the case, I have to let the ministers push you. If Zhang Qing was the general of the Liaodong Navy, what would he plan to do?"
"Build a ship!" Zhang Jingyi said frankly: "Strike!"
"Is it too late to build a ship now?"
"So we must do our best to build as much as possible. In addition, we will also conduct sea trials and try our best to make the soldiers familiar with the new ship."
Emperor Tianqi nodded and said, "I have to do this now. In fact... I hope that Zhang Qing's report is just a false statement."
Zhang Jingyi smiled bitterly and said, "I hope so too."
The king and his ministers sighed, and now they can only wait for Wang Cheng to send new news.
The next day, the court continued.
But this time, Tingtui disappeared from the controversy that had been in the past few days.
Sun Chengzong suddenly became silent.
After all, even he himself did not expect that Zhang Jingyi would resign from the position of governor.
At this time, most people thought that Zhang Jingyi was quite conscious and did not dare to take the blame for the world.
But Sun Chengzong felt that Zhang Jingyi was definitely not a timid person, but he wanted to break his head and couldn't understand why this guy was only willing to condescend to be a general.
Huang Liji seemed to have lost a thought and breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he didn't want to examine why Zhang Jingyi was unwilling to do it. Is it very important if he really didn't want to or dared?
At least now...the problem has been solved.
Before noon, the result of the court's recommendation was surprisingly smooth, and the final candidate for the supervisor was Wang Wenjun, the right censor.
The Right Censor is not only a second-rank official, but also one of the two chief officials of the Censorate. This identity can be reported to any minister at any time.
If you can flatter the Ministry of Personnel and make you rise to the top, then this Censorate will be of no use to flatter you, but if you offend it, he will remove you from your official position with an impeachment memorial.
Therefore... everyone cursed the Ministry of Personnel, but no one dared to offend the Censorate, let alone the Right Censor of the Censorate.
In fact, all parties were satisfied with Wang Wenjun's appointment, because to control all provinces, the first thing is to do is to do is to do their best to the officials of each province, prefecture and county. On the one hand, Wang Wenjun is very famous, but he is the Qingliu in the Qingliu, and many people admire him very much. On the other hand, Wang Wenjun has been in the Censorate for a long time and has the power to impeach, so everyone naturally became afraid of him.
With him taking action, he is not afraid that the policy of coastal defense cannot be implemented.
As for the military officials in various provinces, there is no need to say that these people don’t have to care about their ideas at all. They don’t have to care about their ideas at all by using civil servants to control their martial arts.
Not long after, Emperor Tianqi approved the report and ordered someone to issue an order. Wang Wenjun was the commander and immediately went to Nanjing to take office. Zhang Jingyi was the general of Liaodong, responsible for the coastal defense of the capital and Liaodong.
As soon as Zhang Jing received the order, he entered the palace to thank him.
At this time, Wang Wenjun had already arrived in Qinzheng Hall.
The two of them entered the hall, and first thanked them.
Emperor Tianqi said with a slight smile: "There is no need to be too polite for the two Qing families. Wang Qing family... I really heard that you are good at military affairs?"
Wang Wenjun seemed polite and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I am only a little more knowledgeable. The military method is nothing more than the general. If you use the people well, everything will be done."
Emperor Aoki just asked casually, but he didn't expect this guy to answer...it was quite appropriate.
So Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but curiously say, "What is the way of general?"
Wang Wenjun said: "Yes, it is actually the way to control people. Understanding the strengths of everyone below and putting them in the right position is what you do for the commanding person."
"So if the Europas came really far away, do you have a way to deal with it?"
"I have three strategies, but at present, the most urgent task is to get on duty. First, familiarize yourself with the situation of each province, and then arrange defense according to the situation. For example, the Fujian Provincial Administration Commissioner, which is too close to Ryukyu, is the top priority, and it is necessary to dispatch troops and generals. I went there this time, brought the "Ji Xiaoxin Shu" and asked Your Majesty to allocate the original soldiers of the Qi family army, intending to follow Qi Jiguang's training method and order various guards to strengthen training. In this way, once the bandit army arrives, all the troops can rush forward. When the bandits attack the east, the soldiers will go east, and when the bandits attack the west, the soldiers will go west. If this continues, the bandits will not be captured and will inevitably be unable to bear it. Once the enemy is tired, I will gather boats and ships in the provinces and attack Huanglong. Then... the bandits will be frightened."
I have to say that Emperor Tianqi felt that there was nothing wrong with what Wang Wenjun said.
He nodded with satisfaction and said, "If this is the case, it will be better to do so. It seems that Wang Qing is indeed capable."
Then, he looked at Zhang Jingyi: "What do Zhang Qing think?"
Zhang Jing thought for a while and said, "I also feel that... I can't find any mistakes."
This is the truth. The problem is to be solved at the moment. At least this set of combination punches follows the strategy of expelling Japanese in the Jiajing period, but... the coastal defense method used by Qi Jiguang and others is effective wherever they are placed.
Emperor Tianqi said, "It's so good, then... Your family will go quickly. If it succeeds, I will definitely reward you."
Wang Wenjun bowed and said, "I... obey the order!"
After saying that, he left the palace with joy.
Wang Wenjun left, and Emperor Tianqi walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, then looked at Zhang Jing and said, "I was a little worried at first, but Wang Wenjun is quite well-organized. It seems that he is a person who can do things. What about Zhang Qing, what about Zhang Qing? What about Zhang Qing?"
Zhang Jingyi said: "I have been in the capital first and have compiled many letters. Let Liaodong make preparations step by step. Once the thief comes, we will deal with it."
Emperor Aoki said, "That's it?"
Zhang Jing smiled and said, "Wang Wenjun is the supervisor. What he needs to consider is a strategic issue, so his thoughts are more profound. Mr. Ke is the general officer, and he is responsible for the tactical level. What he needs to do... is to wait for the thief to come and fight him to a decisive battle."
Emperor Tianqi thought about it and felt it was reasonable, so he nodded and said, "It makes sense."
As he said that, he sat down and said, "Okay, let's not talk about these things for now. I will tell you good news. Now... the new policies in various places are in full swing. The latest reports are that even Guanzhong, steel workshops have begun to appear, and some people have started mining coal. Unexpectedly, in just a few years, the new policies have begun to be implemented, and they are becoming more and more new."
Zhang Jing thought to himself that this is natural. The officials in the temple have already tasted the benefits of the new policy. Once they tasted it, they would try their best to implement the new policy.
Although the parents and officials in the local area realized it later, they gradually realized that the implementation of the new policy has already decided to make their own black hats, so they are naturally willing to work hard.
This is what the new policy does. Without the support of these people, you will be unable to move forward, but once these people flock to do it, it will inevitably be spread out quickly.
But... Zhang Jingyi felt that this might not be a good thing, so he became cautious again and said, "Your Majesty, the new policy has been rolled out. I am afraid that it will be rolled out too quickly, which will cause many problems..."
Chapter completed!
