Chapter 142: Restricted to Mountains and Seas

Wang Wen said: "Today, there are rebels, who violate the ancestral teachings with a rash strategy. Nian Zhi is dead, and should not be investigated, but please reiterate the ancestral teachings of Your Majesty to set the record straight. ”

Chen Wen listened to it for a long time, and he also understood in his heart that he was pulled astray.

Did he come today to come to the vassal king?

Sort of.

But not the main one. The main thing is to maintain the national policy that the Empress Dowager has always advocated for rest and recuperation, rather than returning to the situation during the Yongle period.

These old people who came over from the Yongle period naturally know what the situation was like during the Yongle period.

Not to mention the harm of large-scale wars to the people, if it weren't for the people who were overwhelmed by the people, Tang Sai'er would not have made such a big fuss.

Just to say that the large-scale use of force and the promotion of the status of military generals are what they are unwilling.

After Hongxi, Wenchen's status rose on a large scale, and even people like Wang Ji appeared.

Wang Ji, as the first person to lead the troops of the Ming Dynasty, also let the Wenchen extend his hand to the army. Little by little, the functions of the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces have been hollowed out, and it has almost become a pension department.

Whether from the point of view of political ideas or from the point of view of practical interests. This is not allowed by Wang Wen.

And what Wang Wen said, the country that will not be conquered in the fifteenth year is also the concept of Emperor Taizu's external expansion. Emperor Taizu's original words were: "All the four sides of the country are limited to mountains and seas, and they are isolated in a corner, and their land is not enough to supply, and their people are not enough to make orders." If he doesn't think about it and scratches me, it's ominous. He is not a problem for China, and it is also ominous for me to raise troops and commit minor offenses. I am afraid that future generations will rely on China's prosperity and strength, be greedy for a moment of military exploits, and raise troops for no reason, resulting in injuries to people's lives. ”

However, different people have different understandings of the same sentence.

In Wenchen's heart, he explained that it was naturally like Song Taizu's jade axe to draw the Dadu River, and for some remote areas and places with high governance costs, they would not be needed.

But the generals' understanding is different.

Zhang Fu said loudly: "Lord Wang's words are wrong, what Taizu said is that if he is not in trouble, he will share peace with him, and it is not indispensable." However, Taizong's attack on Annam is Annan's envoy who killed me, and it is a feud with the Tile Tartary, and if I want to share peace with him, he will not do it. ”

"The clown who jumps off the beam in Luchuan also dares to insult the big country, which shows the generation of the four yi. The barbarians are afraid of power and do not have virtue, which is not enough to talk about benevolence and righteousness, and this Taizong's great conquest is also. ”

"As Taizu said, getting its land is not enough to supply, and getting its people is not enough to make orders, so it is a country that is not levyed, and it is the policy of dogs. Change its place to be a pro-domain, a hundred years later, it is not impossible to change the summer with raze, this is the first holy place to say, the work of education. ”

"It's the best of both worlds."

"Why not?"

Wang Wen said in a loud voice: "The British public is good, but they don't know that the war is together, the people are busy transporting, and the soldiers die in the ravines. If you don't remember the 20 years of Annan's campaign, which has caused a commotion in the world, and wants to repeat the mistakes of the past today, is it the British public that there are not enough dead? ”

Zhang Fu was furious when he heard this, and his eyes were red.

Wang Wen also pinched Zhang Fu's sore spot at this moment, and Zhang Fu also had a smooth sail all his life, and he was the first of the world's military ministers, but he had two pains in his heart.

A pain of Annan's abandonment, half of his life's work was wasted. The second pain is Zhang Zhong's death, who is the fame of this life, and who is sent.

And Wang Wen simply killed two birds with one stone, which really angered Zhang Fu.

Zhang Fu grabbed the collar with both hands, tore the official uniform, but revealed the white undershirt, and pulled it away, but saw that the chest was covered with wounds, and the old and new scars were abundant, and none of them seemed to be flat.

Zhang Fu almost gritted his teeth and said: "Zhang followed his father into battle at the age of fifteen to kill the enemy, and the title of Duke of England was obtained by his father who died in battle, and Zhang Fu died in half his life. Since Lord Wang knows the hardships of the war, why doesn't he remember the hardships of the soldiers? Yesterday abandoned Annan, today abandoned Daning, the day after tomorrow abandoned the slave Gandusi, and then abandoned Hami Shuwei, these useless places, we will wait for a hundred battles to get, and you will abandon them in a word. ”

"The place where the soldiers are buried is a foreign land, is this what Lord Wang said?"

"But I don't know why I saw Emperor Taizong underground after Lord Wang died?"

Zhang Fu's words were like knives, and his eyes were like fire, forcing Wang Wen to be speechless for a while.

Wang Wen's throat moved slightly, and he said, "That's not what Xia Guan meant. ”

"What does that mean?" Zhang Fu said: "My father said politely, and now the tile spur has become the lord of the grassland with the Tartar, although the dehuan is dead, but it is not a fuel-efficient lamp at first, more than ten years, less than a few years, the tile spur will inevitably go south." ”

"Whether Lord Wang wants to fight or not, he will fight."

"Since we want to fight, we must think clearly, and we must also make it clear whether we can't get rid of the evil, or whether there are some people who can't appease the people and make the people of Annan come to heart, so that the war has lasted for more than 20 years and exhausted the national strength."

"Yes." Chengguo Gong Zhu Neng said loudly: "Why is Huang Fu in Jiaozhi, Jiaozhi is peaceful, but as soon as Huang Fu leaves, Jiaozhi will be chaotic, who is merit and who is wrong, we must make it clear." ”

The Empress Dowager suddenly said, "Okay." ”

The Empress Dowager's voice was not high, but as soon as she spoke, the people below immediately bowed down and did not dare to say any more, the Empress Dowager coughed slightly and said: "Old things, what is there to say, things must always look forward." Emperor Taizong taught that merit is merit, and it is wrong to always check and fill in the gaps, and the most important thing is not to repeat the mistakes of the past. ”

The abandonment of Annan was a matter during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, and now where can we withdraw clearly and turn over the old accounts, which can only make the situation more chaotic.

"Yes." Zhang Fu put on his clothes, bowed down and said.

Zhu Qizhen hurriedly said: "Wang Aiqing, Zhang Zhong's testament is just a reference, Wang Aiqing thinks it can't be, but he must always give the court a charter." ”

"Just now, the Luchuan is in a war, the Luchuan is located in a remote area, and there are many deep mountains and old forests, it is easy for the army to lose, and it is difficult to destroy, and in the south of the Luchuan, there is Burma. Self-sustaining remoteness and contempt for the imperial court. ”

"If Luchuan is destroyed, the most powerful is Myanmar, and Myanmar will dominate southern Xinjiang if it goes to an opponent. When the imperial court suppressed Burma, it was inevitable that heavy troops would be stationed in Yunnan, and the war would be endless for thousands of miles, and there would be thorns in the north. ”

"The counties and counties cannot be defended, and the land is divided into the Tusi, then the Tusi are weak and difficult to resist Burma.

"If you abandon Luchuan, Dali is dangerous, Yunnan is almost unsafe, you can't advance, and you can't retreat."

"I am also in a dilemma, even if Qing and the others don't talk about Zhang Zhong's legacy, I will find a time to discuss it with the Qing and others, and there must be a conclusion on this matter?"

Zhu Qizhen exaggerated the difficulties in his words.

Today's Myanmar is not the same as the Myanmar of later generations, and Luchuan dares to press Myanmar to fight. After destroying Luchuan, Da Ming Yaobing in southern Xinjiang, for a few years, or even more than ten years, Tusi everywhere did not dare to offend Da Mingwei.

As for the long time, it's hard to say.

However, in many cases, unless the ministers who know the actual situation, most of the ministers do not know the situation in Luchuan. At least not in detail.

In He Wenyuan's twists and turns, there are obvious mistakes.

They can't be blamed for that.

After all, Zhu Qizhen, as the emperor, received much more comprehensive information in all aspects than these ministers. Dongchang Jinyiwei is Zhu Qizhen's eyes and ears, and the secret files of Da Nei are Zhu Qizhen's database.

There are many eunuchs and eunuchs who have been to the inner study hall and serve Zhu Qizhen.

Where do the ministers below have this condition?

Of course, not all ministers don't understand this truth, at least Yang Rong knows it very well.

Yang Rong, as the mastermind of Xuanzong, has a good understanding of the situation in the world. Zhu Qizhen's little tricks can be hidden from others, but he can't hide them.

But why did Yang Rong want to demolish Zhu Qizhen.

Over the past few years, Zhu Qizhen has always shown his reliance on Yang Rong. Yang Rong naturally wanted Zhu Qizhen to get closer, and even wanted to use Zhu Qizhen to overturn Yang Shiqi and be the first assistant.

Naturally, I don't know what to do, Ren Zhu Qizhen said.

Maybe some of the ministers feel that what Zhu Qizhen said is problematic, but as long as he doesn't look like a donkey's brain, he won't want to expose Zhu Qizhen on the spot.

All of them were silent. I don't know if I really don't know what to do, or pretend to be stupid.
