Chapter 2021 Worthy of Being Zhang Jing

"Slander is totally slander. I, Zhang Jing, am loyal and loyal to the Holy Majesty! Everything I do is to destroy the Japanese pirates, restore the prosperity of Jiangnan, and serve the Holy Majesty." After hearing this, Zhang Jing suddenly changed his face and expressed his anger. word.

Zhu Pingan's words ignited Zhang Jing's emotions. In fact, Zhang Jing had already heard some rumors. Some people with ulterior motives and fear of instability in the world maliciously slander themselves! He said that he was in control of the key points, but he still refused to send troops to suppress the Japanese. If you don't suppress the Japanese, what are you going to do? I'm afraid you have a disobedient heart, etc.

What nonsense!

Bloody mouth!

I, Zhang Jing, am loyal to the Holy One. I am a minister of the Holy One in life, and a ghost of the Holy One in death. This heart can be learned from heaven and earth!

The soldiers and horses of the guard station are so stretched that they are vulnerable to a blow. How can we send troops? ! The wolf soldiers have just been transferred and have not yet been assigned or trained together. How can they be dispatched? ! To forcefully send troops is not to suppress the Japanese, that is to seek death!

Thinking of these rumors, Zhang Jing became furious, his chest rose and fell, and he couldn't control his emotions.

After hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but think more.

Yes, there will definitely be criticism and suspicion. Even before the governors of the provinces have taken over the military command authority, they have already heard a lot of rumors criticizing Zhang Jing for having too much military power. What about "Zhang Jing holds almost half of the military power?" Ah, you can also withhold taxes from Jiangnan to raise troops. If you have troops and food, if you have any idea, it will be earth-shaking." What "Zhang Jing has a heavy army, but he does not listen to the imperial court's strategy of quickly suppressing the Japanese, and has been holding back his troops. , What does he want to do? "Ah, there are countless.

It is conceivable that if Zhang Jing also took back the military power of governors in various provinces, the rumors would be ten times what they are today.

You, Zhang Jing, did not listen to the imperial court's instructions to quickly suppress the Japanese, and even took away the military power of the governor authorized by the imperial court. What do you want to do? ! Do you want to imitate Sima Yi and do Gao Pingling or do you want to imitate Zhao Kuangyin and do Chen Qiao? !

"Of course this is slander, but Lord Governor, we are deep in the south of the Yangtze River, far away from the central government, and there are many people with ulterior motives and deliberate constraints in the central government. How can slander be avoided? You must know that people's words are terrible, and the saint is naturally wise and powerful, but three people become Tiger, Lord Governor."

Zhu Pingan pointed to the direction of the capital and consoled him, reminding Zhang Jing to be careful of the slanderous villains far away in the capital.

In addition, Zhang Jing was vaguely reminded to be careful of Emperor Jiajing's suspicion.

Although Zhu Ping'an said that Emperor Jiajing was wise and mighty, if Emperor Jiajing was really wise and mighty, how could three people become a tiger?

You know, Emperor Jiajing was not a majestic and generous emperor. On the contrary, he was an emperor who liked to be suspicious and accustomed to raising questions.

In this regard, Zhang Jing, who had been in the officialdom for decades, was also well aware of Emperor Jiajing's nature.

"I am upright and not afraid of slanting shadows. I, Zhang Jing, am loyal and loyal, and my Holy Majesty is wise and powerful. Why should I be afraid of the slanders of some young people!"

Zhang Jing cupped his fists and arched them towards the capital, insisting with a righteous expression.

Still not letting go?

Zhu Ping'an frowned in surprise. He didn't expect Zhang Jing to be so insistent and still wouldn't let go at this time.

Everyone present also thought that Zhang Jing was going to insist on taking over the military command power of the governors of various provinces and unified command. However, at this time, they heard Zhang Jing's voice changed again, coughed, and spoke slowly.

"However, seeing that Zihou, Master Tu and others are all enthusiastic and want to help me solve my problems, I cannot let your enthusiasm go cold. So I will temporarily retain the military command rights of the governors in their respective jurisdictions. However, My orders are higher than yours. Once my orders are given, they must be followed immediately and fully without any delay or discount. If there is any violation, I will follow the law of the army. Don’t blame me for not predicting what I said.”

Zhang Jing finally relented and did not take away the military command power from the governors, who retained it.

Tu Dashan looked at Zhu Pingan with some surprise. Unexpectedly, Zhu Pingan persuaded Governor Zhang.

He is truly worthy of being the top scholar. At this time, he was able to convince Governor Zhang, and everyone looked at Zhu Ping'an.

"Please rest assured, Lord Governor, as long as the Lord Governor gives orders, we will immediately and fully comply with them!"

Governors Zhu Pingan, Tu Dashan and other governors stood up and expressed their stance almost at the same time. They did not want Zhang Jing to regret it.

"Very good." Zhang Jing nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "One more thing, the five generals Lu Bor, Tang Kekuan, Yu Dayou, Li Fengshi, and Zou Jifang have been assigned guest soldiers by the governor. They also have The guest soldiers are related to the overall situation of suppressing the Japanese in Jiangnan. From today on, they and their troops will be directly led by the governor! If you really need to mobilize your command, you must ask me for permission in advance. Do you have any objections to the transfer of command?"

After Zhang Jing finished speaking, the scene became quiet.

Zhang Jing was doing the next best thing. He had failed to take back the military command power of all the provinces south of the Yangtze River. Now he could make some changes and take back the generals with combat effectiveness in the south of the Yangtze River and the command and mobilization rights of the army. He could also achieve his wish.

As for the military command rights of other guard troops, forget about it. Their combat capabilities are too low anyway, so they won't be of much use if they are taken back. It's also a big burden to have to take care of their food, drink, litter, and military pay.

In fact, thinking about it, it is better now. Only the effective generals and army command authority in Jiangnan are taken away, and they only need to take care of their food, drink, and military pay, which invisibly reduces the burden by more than half.

Reducing the number of elite troops and going into battle lightly not only ensures combat effectiveness but also reduces the burden, so why not do it.

Zhang Jing narrowed his eyes and scanned Zhu Pingan, Tu Dashan and other governors one by one, waiting for their answers.

Worthy of being Zhang Jing!

Zhu Pingan quickly figured out Zhang Jing's intention and had to give Zhang Jing a thumbs up in his heart.

Worthy of being Zhang Jing, worthy of being a capable minister who will go down in history! His political wisdom and political skills are really admirable.

Zhu Pingan even thought that maybe Zhang Jing did not want to take back the military command of each province. His purpose might be to take back the elite military command of each province, that is, the troops of Lu Tong, Tang Kekuan, and Yu Dayou.

Zhang Jing wanted to take Yu Dayou, Lu Tong, Tang Kekuan and others over, although Zhu Pingan and others were reluctant.

But

Military orders are like mountains.

Besides, there is no reason to refuse.

As the governor of Jiangnan, Zhang Jing's mobilization and command of all troops in Jiangnan are all a matter of Zhang Jing's words. This is also the authority given to Zhang Jing by Emperor Jiajing.

Now Zhang Jing wants to transfer Yu Dayou, Lu Tong, Tang Kekuan and others. How dare Zhu Pingan and others have any objections?

If they have any objections, it means they have objections to the imperial edict of Emperor Jiajing, which is deceiving the emperor. Who dares to have any objections!

"We have no objection!" Zhu Pingan and others replied one after another after a while.

"Good!"

Zhang Jing smiled with satisfaction. (End of this chapter)
