Yang Rong, one of the "Three Yang" in Ming Dynasty, has always been famous for his alertness and eloquence. So how did he deal with the siege of Ningxia?
One night shortly after the Yongle Emperor Judy ascended the throne, it was reported that Ningxia was suddenly surrounded and the situation seemed very critical. Yang Rong was on duty in the cabinet at that time, so Judy quickly recruited him and showed him the paper.
After reading it, Yang Rong said unhurriedly that Ningxia is a very powerful city, and people in the city have become very brave and good at fighting because they have to deal with all kinds of sudden wars from time to time. Therefore, it is impossible for the general enemy to successfully capture Ningxia City. It has been at least ten days since I reported to Beijing, and the siege of Ningxia should be lifted by rights. "
After midnight, new news came, clearly indicating that the siege of Ningxia had been successfully lifted. In this way, Judy was deeply impressed by Yang Rong and admired him. She said, "How can you predict so accurately?"
On another occasion, news of a thief uprising came from Jiangxi. Judy quickly sent Xu to woo, and at the same time asked Han Guan, the commander-in-chief, to lead the troops and let him set out later.
The significance of Judy's move is already obvious. If the thieves are willing to accept Zhao Fu, then naturally everyone will be happy. If he refuses to accept Zhao Fu, Han Guan will directly lead troops to pacify him.
As a result, soon after, the thieves had reached Judy's hands. He was very happy and prepared to give Han Guan a gift.
In this regard, I raised an objection and thought: "According to the official's calculation, when this newspaper was issued, the soldiers and horses brought by Han Guan should not have arrived yet, so this is entirely due to Xu's efforts to recruit and surrender thieves, and has little to do with Han Guan, and should not be rewarded at all."
After listening, Judy suddenly realized that his calculation ability was very strong and accurate, and she respected him more from then on.
At that time, Judy had just succeeded to the throne for a few years, and various accidents often broke out in the frontier, so Yang Rong and seven cabinet ministers, including Yang Shiqi, Jin Youzi, Hu Guang, Hu Yan, Jie Jin and Huanghuai, served Judy day and night to help him deal with various complicated affairs. Judy seldom opposed the suggestions of seven cabinet ministers or his own decisions, so before long, all seven of them were promoted!
