What is called cocooning and self-restraint, and what is self-destruction?

Just look at the officials in Nanjing. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info a good victory, when it should have greatly boosted the morale of the people, but it was necessary to use the officialdom to scheming, reversing black and white, not only did not play the role of inspiring the army, but made the morale of the army in Jiangnan, which was soon rotten, even lower to the bottom.

One army after another was urgently brought in, but one by one they were crushed by the Japanese invaders. County towns were shattered, and villages were reduced to ashes. While the Nanjing officials were in a hurry, the Zhengde Emperor not only did not send reinforcements, but ordered the Nanjing officials to defend the city. Those who dare to leave their posts without permission will not be tolerated.

Speaking of which, Emperor Zhengde, who received the good news from Jiangnan, was still happy for a while, thinking that the Ming Dynasty was prosperous, and the army in Jiangnan had finally risen strongly, so he didn't have to think about sending other troops to support Jiangnan.

After all, the armies in the north and south of the Ming Dynasty were easily unadaptable, and when the time came, the Japanese did not exterminate them, but lost a large number of elite soldiers. There is also the fact that the military discipline of the Ming army is really not very good, and wherever the guest army goes, it is inevitable that the place will be eroded, and the people will be resentful but not beautiful.

Emperor Zhengde knew about the many erosions in the army, but he was powerless to change them. Now I hope that the idea of the state affairs will change this situation.

Otherwise, what else can Emperor Zhu Houzhao of Zhengde, if he is strict with military discipline, not to mention the yang and yin below, even the military spirit is also a problem. Hundreds of years of old diseases cannot be cured all at once.

This problem is not only in the Ming army, but also in any dynasty and generation. Emperor Zhengde's only way is to mobilize less, and the army always has to take care of face in his hometown.

After borrowing Chen's letter from Zhu Houzhao, his face changed suddenly, and he was almost angry to death.

What do these Jinling officials want to do? When he is deceived like a fool! Don't they know that morale can be boosted? Or is the country from the old Zhu family, and the bad ones can't be bad for them?

Zhu Houzhao, who was furious, and his courtiers in the south were stunned, regardless of such an order, the officials in Jinling must reap the consequences.

It's just that when Zhu Houzhao calmed down, he was also scared out of a cold sweat by himself, and he regretted it very much, but he couldn't take back the golden words of being a king. Zhu Houzhao, who was in a hurry to go to the house, could only secretly write a letter to Chen, and asked someone to secretly send it to Jinling overnight. A few days later, he sent Wei Guogong to the south with 100,000 troops and went south to the south.

Thinking about it, face is definitely not as important as the ancestral country, I just hope that the defenders of Jinling will not be really so wasteful, so the strong city defense will be broken by someone with one blow!

It's just that Emperor Zhengde obviously still doesn't know enough about the behavior of the Wakos, who are not regular troops, how can they surround a city for a year and a half? They were alone, grabbed a handful and left. As long as the leader of the Japanese Bandits is not in his head, when he sees that there is no hope in Nanjing, he will definitely surround the city and go directly to grab other places.

Don't you go and wait to be besieged by others? And it's only 8,000 people, which is not enough to go around the city!

Seeing the Japanese invaders approaching Jinling step by step, the army in Jiangnan was disheartened and demoralized. Now the bureaucrats in Nanjing are really sitting on wax. At this time, I finally remembered that the army that seemed to be able to fight with the Japanese invaders, and hurriedly wanted to transfer that army to Nanjing, not expecting them to win the Japanese invaders, at least there was a little more hope for defending the city! Relying on those Nanjing defenders who are either old, weak, sick and disabled, or crooked melons and cracked dates, to scare and scare the common people, and to deal with the mud-legged homeless people, counting on them to hold Jinling, the officials in Jinling really have little confidence.

When the dispatch document of the Nanjing Military Department was delivered in a hurry, a group of soldiers who had waited for many days, except for a little reward at the beginning, and had never seen half a tael of silver, obviously quit.

Because of the fact that the veteran commander who had won the battle with him was forced to leave his post, the relationship between this group of soldiers and the new commander was not very good, and in just a few days, the new commander could not establish the slightest prestige. Now that the order of the military department has arrived, the new commander is dumbfounded.

The new commander spent a lot of money to share the credit and make money, but not to prepare for war, and in the past few days in office, he was busy sorting out the account books to see how many families in the guard house could make up for the "shortfall" in the family. To let him go to war with a group of guards he didn't know was really terrifying to the commander.

For a moment, the commander was really ready to abandon the official and abscond, but thinking about it, the money spent has not been returned, how can the real shortage that was so easy to get lost like this? You must know that there are many guys who have a hereditary command and a hereditary position, but they don't have an actual position and look at the position under their buttocks.

The Ministry of War urged three times a day, and it was almost a 12-way gold medal. In the end, the tone became more and more unkind, and there was a big sense that if the army was not brought to Nanjing, it would be necessary to meet each other in military law. Only then did the commander have to give the order to march towards Nanjing.

However, it is not so easy for the army to be pulled. After a group of hungry guards saw the blood, they were obviously not as beaten and scolded as before, and they were originally resentful, so they would obediently obey orders?

Under the swarm of swarms, they took the opportunity to make a fuss.

Don't give money, resolutely don't move!

The last time I fought the Japanese invaders, but there were really a lot of old people dead, leaving a group of orphans and widows who didn't know how to live, and the former commander was forced to leave his post, but the new Shangguan didn't seem to have to admit the old accounts. The guards are honest, but they are not stupid, how could they be dispatched before they saw the silver?

The military order from above was urgent, and it was claimed that it would not arrive on time to engage in military justice. The soldiers below are uneven, and if they really press too hard, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not mutiny. The new commander really felt that he had fallen into blood mold, and had to dig out his pocket with tears and blood in his own pocket, so he finally sent a little silver. The army is only then grinding on the road.

Speaking of which, both the gentry and the common people of Jinling were very curious about this army that could win the war, and when the army reached the city of Nanjing, many gentry and people in Jinling City ran out to see the appearance of the army. I thought I would see a mighty army, but who knew that what I saw was a typical rabble army of guards that had been loose and crumbling.

At this time, both the gentry and the common people in Jinling suddenly fell to the bottom in an instant. I've never eaten pork, and I haven't seen a pig run away. Is there any difference between the army outside the city and the old, weak, sick and disabled in Nanjing?

Seeing that the Japanese are coming towards Jinling, they will definitely be able to reach Jinling City in just a few days. If you just count on this army to defend Jinling, it doesn't look like it's unreliable!

Just when the citizens of Jinling were worried about the Japanese invaders, not everyone in Jinling was worried.

In the final analysis, although the Japanese are fierce and vicious, it is the maritime merchants of the Ming Dynasty who can really call the shots. This is almost a tacit secret of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, especially in the coastal areas of Fujian, where smuggling is rampant, whether it is for the safety of their merchant ships, or to make it impossible for the imperial court to open the sea, so as to monopolize the interests of maritime trade, a large part of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River are related to the Japanese invaders.

Otherwise, how could a person who was unfamiliar with the place of the Japanese be a disaster in the south of the Ming River for a hundred years, and almost all of them became stubborn diseases. If the army in Jiangnan is really not good, doesn't Daming still have a border army? Why did these officials from the south of the Yangtze River never mention mobilizing the army from the north to suppress the Japanese invaders?

In the study of Liao's mansion, Lichen and Li Weigong also talked about the scourge of the Japanese in Jiangnan, and Zhu Zaikai listened to it. Hearing that there were still many wealthy families in Jiangnan colluding with the Japanese Bandits, Zhu Zaikai's eyes were wide open.

Isn't that incredible?

"Hehe, in fact, it's not just you in the Ming Dynasty, isn't that the dynasty like this? Although the former Sui failed to conquer Liao several times, causing the people's resentment to boil, it was the family that really wanted to rebel! Why do you think that Li Mi villain can stir up chaos again and again, and why does Yang Xuangan rebel in a daze even though he is extremely wealthy? Li Weigong smiled in surprise.

Now that a thousand years have passed, what can not be said about the events of those years?

"Why?" Zhu Zaikai asked.

"Because of the imperial examination, before the Sui Dynasty, the world was separated by heaven, but Emperor Wen of Sui created the imperial examination and gave the scholars of the Hanmen a step to advance, but at that time, because Emperor Wen's throne was consolidated, and there was no big mistake, although everyone in the scholar clan knew the meaning of the imperial examination, but after all, it was a formality and did not hurt the scholar clan much, so the world was still about peaceful. But after Emperor Yang of Sui ascended the throne, he greatly promoted the imperial examination, broke the world and violated the interests of the scholars, so whether it was the Grand Canal or the conquest of Liaodong, it was just an inducement, and the real reason was still in the imperial examination! After Li Weigong finished speaking, he let out a long sigh.

"In fact, the government is the same as the use of soldiers, with the right fit, with the odd victory, but the most taboo to be aggressive, once the act is excessive, it will soon fall into an ambush on all sides, and you want to get good results!" After Li Weigong finished speaking to Zhu Zaikai as if teaching, he looked at the dust again and asked, "Real person, what will happen to the woe of the Japanese in Jinling?" ”

"Plague natural disasters, military disasters, today's Ming Dynasty is not the idea of the end of the Sui Dynasty, and it shouldn't be able to make much trouble. Now it's up to the guys behind the scenes to see what they want! After all, this group of would-be robbers is not really here to break through Jinling, there should be other purposes, we will wait and see," said Chen, with a smile.

Just when they were talking about the Japanese invaders, on the other side of Jinling City, two white-haired old men were also playing chess, talking about the Japanese who were approaching Jinling.

Go is the most calculating. Therefore, most of the Go masters are scheming. It's just that when people reach their age, calculation has become instinct, so their faces are not obvious, and they are quite relaxed.

"A few days ago, the old man heard that His Majesty in the capital intends to promote the opening of the sea, I don't know Yu Shangong, but I have heard of it." The old man in Tsing Yi, who was holding a white cloud in the east, asked casually as he said that a cloud was placed on the chessboard.

"That majesty wants to do a lot of things, the imperial court has a lot of income, and the officials in the world don't know. Now that His Majesty wants to rearm and eliminate the guards, so that he can expand his territory and achieve immortal martial arts, he has long been ignorant of any secrets. It's just that if you want to move the ancestors to the military system, not to mention the opposition of the courtiers, it will be a huge expense, and the court will not be able to take it out. The imperial court has no money, so the emperor will naturally set his sights on Jiangnan, and opening the sea is just a passing meaning" Yu Shangong replied in a flat tone, holding the black characters in his hand without any confusion.

"Hey! In other words, it's just that His Majesty doesn't want to follow the ancestral system. Single-mindedly grasping military power. Now Yang Shizhai (Yang Tinghe) has fallen short, isn't it a disaster caused by military power. The emperor tasted the sweetness, so he naturally wanted to grasp it even more. But bypassing the cabinet and the military department, if you want to seize the military power, you will have to pay a large amount of food. Jiangnan is rich, and the emperor will naturally want to make an idea from Jiangnan. It's just that the heavy tax burden in Jiangnan is already the most in the Ming Dynasty. How can the imperial court endure it, add it again and again! The old man in Tsing Yi sighed, but his eyes looked at the other side, as if he didn't put his mind on the chessboard.

"So, you let in such a large wave of pirates to harm my Jinling?" Yu Shangong thought about it, and raised his voice as if he was very dissatisfied.

"Jinling City is high and wide, and there is an elite army in it, but the generals can't do it. How can he be afraid of a few thousand widows, and the matter that the old man discussed with those few families was just for the convenience of Yushan Gongxing. We know that Duke Yu Shan has been planning for a long time to instigate civil unrest, and then take the opportunity to dissuade the emperor from changing his ways. Do what Yang Shizhai (Yang Tinghe) has not done. Now that such a large number of Japanese bandits are approaching Jinling, it is not just enough for the Jiangnan army to gather in Jinling, giving the cults and rebellious parties in other places an opportunity to take advantage of," the old man in Tsing Yi said with a smile.

"Don't tell lies in front of real people, the nine of you monopolize the sea trade, and naturally refuse to give up the fat on your lips. We are inland, and we are no match for you. It all depends on these few acres of thin fields to live. Together, I am afraid that it will not be able to be suppressed in a few years, and it will disrupt Jiangnan, what good will it do us? You'd better discuss with those families, why don't you let those gangsters go somewhere else? Yu Shangong put down the cloud in his hand and sighed.

"The gentry of the world, one is prosperous, one is lost, how do you know that Your Majesty will not get an inch, yesterday you can talk about the way of the sky, the loss is more than enough to make up for the shortage, today there is a can be said to revitalize the armed forces, open up the territory and expand the territory, hit the idea of sea trade, do you know that tomorrow will not start to increase the commercial tax, determine the acres of land?" After the old man in Tsing Yi finished speaking, he looked at Yu Shangong opposite and persuaded: "Scholars have always been the pillars of the imperial court to educate the countryside and stabilize the place. The court concedes a few points, why not? But now that our body is pressing step by step, how can we retreat again and again? ”

"You're not afraid of things being revealed, following in the footsteps of Yang Shizhai?" Yu Shangong didn't even look at the chessboard this time, and asked directly.

"The gentry of the world are all like this, what can that ridiculous emperor do? It's great to pay a few chess pieces, just to calm the anger of that majesty. Can you still do everything you can to get rid of the officials in the world and offend all the scholars and doctors in the world? The old man in Tsing Yi replied.

"Jinling can't be lost." The old god of Yushan is in the tunnel.

"Of course!" The old man in Tsing Yi smiled when he heard this, erased all the clouds on the chessboard and said: "Although Yu Shangong is relieved, he is also a scholar for us, and he only serves as a saint and harms the world, how can we do it?" I hope that Your Majesty will restrain the horse from the precipice and the world will be peaceful! (To be continued.) )
