Peaceful... Ningxia?

Which one is this?

Wanli, Guo Dan, and Zhang Cheng were all confused.

Because all along, their focus has been on the south, overseas, and even North Korea, and they didn't expect that there would be problems with the border army in the north.

In the past ten years, there have been some small fights, and there have been no major wars, especially after the rise of Weihui Mansion, the trade with Mongolia has become closer, and there have been fewer wars, and occasionally the Mongols come to grab something, and then the border army is beaten back.

But Dong Ping's face made Wanli chuckle in his heart, and a bad premonition arose.

After a while, Wanli asked innocently, "What happened to Ningxia?" ”

Dong Ping said: "The local deputy chief soldier and the vanguard will Liu Dongyang and Xu Chao make a rebellion, kill the governor Dang Xin, and the deputy envoy Shi Jifang will force the chief soldier Zhang Weizhong to ......!" ”

"What did you say?"

Wanli suddenly bounced up, almost not jumping on the table.

Guo Dan and Zhang Cheng were also shocked.

"Oops! That... Aren't they going to rebel then? Zhang Cheng exclaimed.

Killing the governor's general army is not a rebellion.

Dong Ping hesitated for a moment before he said: "At present, we have learned that they have not threatened to rebel, it is said that it is because the governor Dang Xin, Shi Jifang and others have reduced the winter materials of the Ningxia border army, so far it has caused a rebellion." ”

Zhang Cheng said: "Even so, they can't do this, this is not called anti, then what is anti." ”

Guo Dan frowned, Ningxia Ningxia, isn't one of the three major campaigns Ningxia? Could it be that the three major signs occur at the same time? MMP, isn't Lao Tzu just not good at learning history, as for punishing me like this?

"Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, I heard an exclamation.

Guo Dan subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see Li Gui staggering Wanli, and couldn't help but say in his heart: "Your Majesty." ”

"I'm fine."

Wanli waved with one hand, and suddenly he slapped his palm on the table, full of grief and indignation: "Why is it like this every time, is it really the sky that is going to die." ”

Although he just said that this war can continue to be fought, and the more he fights, the richer he becomes, but that refers to fighting in the southwest and those remote places in Dong U (Burma), not that he wants to fight with the north.

After all, if they fight over there, they will not hurt their muscles and bones, and they will not be in danger of the Central Plains, and they are also fully prepared, but when the north is in chaos, the nature will change.

Guo Dan glanced at Wanli, and suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter.

It's not a question of rebellion or not, it's that their entire plan is likely to be undone.

Although the treasury has food and money, and only Ningxia is in turmoil among the nine towns of the border army, and there are the remaining eight towns, and it is not without soldiers, but the problem is that Wanli is now fighting with the bureaucracy, and he has not completely subjugated the courtiers.

The courtiers would certainly force him to submit.

But if you bypass the imperial court, it is very difficult to operate, the north and the south are definitely not the same thing, if you are not careful, people can hit the capital.

Therefore, when there is a war in the north, the Ming Dynasty must devote all its strength to fight, just because it has no way out.

At this time, it is not a wise choice to continue infighting.

Zhang Cheng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this north can't be chaotic, you have to quickly transfer troops to quell the chaos, in case you worship and unite with the Tatars, it will be bad." ”

Wanli looked at Guo Dan.

What about the chairman of the grassland?

Where do you say yes?

The previous emperors of the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to the north, but Guo Dan didn't take the north seriously, which led to Wanli himself being negligent.

Guo Dan was embarrassed, and if he was half a year late, the situation would not stop like this, and he hesitated for a while before he said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, you will go back to raise silver taels and grain and grass now, and we have a large amount of grain and grass in Yinuo Insurance." ”

Zhang Cheng asked, "Is this too late?" ”

"I....!"

Guo glanced at Zhang Cheng lightly.

To say that it is too late is also a lie.

He didn't expect that there would be chaos in the north, and he was not prepared for this at all, and now there are only hundreds of thousands of taels available in the accounts of Yinuo Yaxing, and the main grain of Yinuo Insurance is all hoarded in the Jiangnan area, and what is even worse is that a large number of fleets and manpower of Fengchi Group have been sent to the Huguang area, and even Li Tong is now in Huguang.

Just after reading the accounts, he didn't know the financial situation, he looked at Guo Dan and said, "You hurry up and prepare." ”

"Obedience." Guo Dan hugged his fists and saluted.

Zhang Cheng opened his eyes and felt very surprised, although he also understood that Wanli didn't want to give up this good situation, but it was already burning his eyebrows, you can't gamble with Daming Jiangshan.

When he got out, Zhang Cheng said to Guo Dan: "Guo Dan, this old saying is good, keep the green mountains here, don't be afraid of no firewood, you have to think carefully." ”

With that, he departed.

He is actually warning Guo Dan that you can easily fight in the southwest, because that side will not threaten the Daming Dynasty, but the north is different from the southwest, and if you are not careful, half of the country may be gone.

You must know that Mongolia is not an ordinary opponent for the Ming Dynasty.

"Just one step away! TMD is one step away! ”

Guo Dan rubbed his face with both hands, and scolded unwillingly.

In fact, the current situation is already the limit of their imperial and merchant combinations, the East China Sea is expanding the pirate army, the South China Sea is even more imminent, and the southwest is still fighting, not to mention that Japan is still eyeing it.

Guo Dan's calculation is very accurate, he took the initiative to fight on four fronts, and it is impossible for the fifth line to appear.

But Ningxia is in chaos.

This chaos in the northwest is tantamount to getting them into a five-front battle, and it is an unexpected situation, and they don't even give Guo Dan a chance to prepare, it's really fatal!

But then again, the four-front battle was fought by their imperial and merchant combinations, and the Ming Dynasty had not yet contributed, but the problem was that all these wars revolved around the struggle between the emperor and the bureaucracy.

That's the root cause.

Wanli's tangled place is here, if he sends troops to Ningxia, it is impossible to bypass the court, then the result can be imagined......!

If he can wait a few more months, after the southwest and the South China Sea are calmed down, after the shares here are settled in Taiyuan and Jizhou, Guo Dan will have enough strength to deal with emergencies in the north.

But God is not on their side.

.....．

"Guo Dan, something is wrong."

As soon as she returned to Yinuoya, Aunt Xu hurriedly greeted her.

Guo Dan was about to cry when he heard this, and said: "Don't tell me, that Nurhachi is also the opposite, I didn't say it, everyone sitting here is garbage, why do you want to beat me together." ”

His excitement made Aunt Xu stunned, and after a while, she said, "You already know that something happened in Ningxia?" ”

Guo Dan glanced at her, knowing that they were talking about the same thing, and Brother Nuer also stepped in, so he hanged himself directly, nodded, and laughed at himself: "The only consolation today is to let me know that our news can finally be on par with Jinyiwei." ”

With that, he sat down on the couch.

Aunt Xu sat opposite Guo Dan and said: "The matter has come to this, you must make concessions, Ningxia is not as good as the southwest, our army must fight quickly, otherwise, it may cause chaos, because our enemies are all concentrated in the north, then Bibai is not my Han people, they are very likely to unite with Tatar." ”

Guo Dan glanced at Aunt Xu, was silent for a while, and said: "Maybe Your Majesty can take a step back and slow down a little longer, but I can't lose, the matter has come to this point, if I make a concession and let them breathe this breath, they will definitely take the opportunity to chase after me and beat me hard, and everything I have worked so hard to build will be destroyed by them." Now you hurry up and send a message to the local branches, let them transport all the grain of Yinuo Insurance to the wharf, and I will ask Fengchi Group to transfer to Ningxia immediately. ”

His four-front battle is tantamount to gambling on his own family, if he loses, he may collapse on the whole front, first of all, Caoyun will definitely crush the Fengchi Group, for Caoyun, it is also life and death.

The other is the banknote, which the court will definitely collect.

This time they were able to send troops so smoothly, and the money customs were crucial, and the other party must be aware of this problem.

Of course, they won't let go of the Grand Canyon.

Aunt Xu said: "It is impossible for the other party to let you transport the grain out, even if you can transport it, it may be too late in time, you should know that the Fengchi Group has sent a large number of men and ships to the southwest."

In addition, the situation in the nine towns of the border army is very complicated, there have always been civilian officials there to balance the generals, the rebellion in Ningxia is caused by the civil and military disputes, if Your Majesty bypasses the imperial court, the troops and horses are dispatched, it must be difficult, unable to cope with the current emergency situation. ”

But as she spoke, she saw that Guo Dan was indifferent, so she said bitterly: "I don't think that taking this step back will kill you or Yinuo, there are still some ministers in the court who are worth relying on, such as Fang Fengshi, Li Chengliang, Wang Xijue, they can help you at this time, if they win, it will not cause too much loss to Yinuo." ”

Guo Dan was silent for a while, and said: "Maybe you are right, it will not make me collapse on all fronts, but this will definitely hit Your Majesty hard, and it will also hit me hard, causing us heavy losses, I will never let my entire plan be wasted, there is a way that people die for money, and birds die for food." ”

Aunt Xu said: "But Your Majesty will not gamble on the Ming Dynasty." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "I will persuade Your Majesty." ”

Aunt Xu asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Guo Dan said: "I'll go back and forth with that trick." ”

"Contracting... You mean contracting Ningxia? Aunt Xu was shocked.

......

Wuqing Houfu.

"I didn't expect them to be so ruthless, not only did they kill Dang Xin, but they didn't even let go of General Zhang."

Li Gao laughed.

Chen Yinzhao said: "Master Hou, they almost killed all the generals of Zhang Weizhong's faction, it seems that they are determined to rebel this time!" ”

Li Gao smiled and said: "On the contrary, they can't turn the sky, you must know, at present, where is Guo Dan doing things, the treasury has not even spent a tael of silver, and the main force of our army has not moved, as long as Your Majesty nods, within half a year, our army will be able to pacify Ningxia." ”

Chen Yinzhao asked, "But what if Your Majesty is unwilling to admit defeat?" ”

Li Gao was stunned for a moment and asked rhetorically, "Do you think this is possible?" After a pause, he added, "Hurry up and spread the news to the state capitals." ”

Chen Yinzhao was stunned and said, "Why? ”

Li Gao sneered: "Don't forget, Guo Dan's Yinuo Insurance hasn't been touched yet." ”

.....

Three watches.

A sharp knock on the door woke Shen Shixing from his sleep.

After a while, the Shen Mansion lit the candlelight again.

"Master Yue, what's wrong?"

Cao Ke was also awakened, and when he came to the front yard, he happened to see Shen Shixing hurriedly walking out.

Shen Shixing glanced at Cao Ke and sighed: "Ningxia's deputy chief soldier is in reverse. ”

And he went out.

Cao Ke stood in the courtyard and did not leave for a long time.

He did not expect that the tragedy of reform would be repeated so quickly.
