Chapter 12 Military Discussions

Zhu Qizhen smiled lightly, stretched out his hand and smoothed out the finger prints on the question book.

It's not that Zhu Qizhen's heart has calmed down, but he knows that there are many people in the palace, unless it is a private space, it is best not to leak emotions, although there is no one in the Wuying Hall now, but there are guards outside the gate.

Many of these guards were of noble origin.

While calming down, Zhu Qizhen asked someone to make a pot of tea, tasted it gently, and said secretly in his heart: "What should I do?" ”

Any emotional expression does not help solve the problem.

Zhu Qizhen calmed down and had to admit a simple truth.

That is, once a son of heaven and a courtier, no matter how powerful these generals are, they are also Emperor Taizong's, not his Zhu Qizhen's. It is impossible to make Zhu Qizhen absolutely trust them.

But Zhu Qizhen also had to admit one thing, that is, the characteristics of Jing Nanxun and the country are the foundation of imperial power, and their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty. There is no doubt about it.

But in the face of the reality that the combat effectiveness of the Ming army has been declining, it is impossible for Zhu Qizhen to leave them with the military as a place for himself.

But how?

Knock this thing back.

Zhu Qizhen immediately denied it.

The reason is very simple, and now Jing Nanxun is still one of the pillars of the imperial court, whether Zhu Qizhen is satisfied or dissatisfied, he has to accept such a reality.

There is a gap between Zhu Qizhen and Jing Nanxun, which is not conducive to the overall situation of the imperial court.

is on top of the big war that is about to break out, even if he makes a move, he will take down one of the main generals. All is it all about?

No, Zhu Qizhen suspects that this is just the beginning.

Even because of the events of this year, in this conquest of Uliangha, the internal friction intensified.

You must know that the political ecology of the military is different from the political ecology of civilian officials, and Lan Yu drew a knife with Feng Sheng at the beginning. I want to even fire and.

Although it is not the past, it is also a trivial matter to fight outside the war and kill a few people.

Even if it didn't reach this point, but the internal friction between each other, so that the war was lost before the war started.

But if he doesn't do anything, Zhu Qizhen's idea of promoting a group of cronies to power and then promoting military law reform will never be achieved.

Zhu Qizhen gently turned the teacup and pondered silently. Suddenly, he remembered Yang Pu and said secretly: "What should Yang Pu do if he faces this situation?" ”

Immediately, Zhu Qizhen remembered Yu Qian.

Yang Pu's methods, when he first started, Zhu Qizhen still didn't understand, and later Yang Shiqi's words made Zhu Qizhen slowly figure out Yang Pu's methods.

He has done a few reviews, but after thinking about it, he also feels that this is an upright conspiracy, and even if Zhu Qizhen knows, he will not refuse.

Because this is good for the Ming Dynasty and good for the imperial court.

Zhu Qizhen sighed and said, "Seeing him rise up a tall building, watching him feast guests, seeing his building collapse." Word by word, getting lower and lower, almost silent.

There are some things he doesn't want to do, but now he thinks it's the best way.

Zhu Qizhen is destined to want and unwilling to do such a special thing as military power, and it is impossible to make it seem like the Lianghuai Salt Case to set off a big case.

This is not good for the country. It is not good for Zhu Qizhen to control the world.

But now Zhang Fu's move has made Zhu Qizhen feel that it is impossible for him to win the military power silently.

So since Jing Nan Xun wants to control the military power, he must take this responsibility. Since you love meritorious service so much, then Zhu Qizhen is ready to give them the dominance of fighting against the tile spurs in the future.

If, they are really capable. Let them hang high like Zhang Fu.

Why did Emperor Xuanzong remove Zhang Fu from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and put him in the cabinet for advisers. The plan was not to make Zhang Fu a cabinet minister.

If they really want to be able to fight the thorns, Zhu Qizhen naturally dares to seal seven or eight national dukes, all of them according to the governor's mansion of the five armies, and replace the general soldiers of the nine border military towns with the next generation.

Take it easy. Anyway, Zhu Qizhen knew that time was on his side, and the second generation of Jing Nan was old. The capabilities of the third generation are too far worse than the second generation.

Anyway, what Zhu Qizhen cares about is defeating the tile spur, and he doesn't really care who does this thing.

Zhu Qizhen also knew that this ideal state was unlikely, and if they were really capable, they would not let the Ming military force deteriorate.

In Zhu Qizhen's mind, it is more likely that in the long-term war with the tile spurs, there will be mutual victories and defeats, and naturally a group of people will be eliminated. There is a group of people who have grown up in the midst of war.

In such a big war, it is simply impossible for Jing Nanxun to control all the positions in the middle.

But Zhu Qizhen was also a shadow in his heart, and said secretly: "What if I lose?" ”

After all, there is a lesson from the back of the civil fort.

Later generations of Zhu Qizhen thought that the change in Tumubao was the indiscriminate command of Yingzong at that time, but now it is more and more clear that this is just a general outbreak of problems such as the military strength of the Ming Dynasty, border defense, and so on.

It is impossible to blame Yingzong alone.

What if there was another defeat like this?

Zhu Qizhen thought about it repeatedly. But he has to admit that if he forcibly meddles in the military, his chances of winning will be lower. Because Jing Nanxungui has too deep roots in the army, Zhu Qizhen doesn't want to and can't clean it up.

Maybe when the tile spurs come over, Jing Nanxungui is as indistinguishable as he is. Zhu Qizhen recalled some details of the change in the civil fort in his memory.

I feel more and more that Yingzong and Jing Nanxun at that time

Expensive is not necessarily without contradictions.

What did Yingzong want to win the Northern Expedition for?

The order in which things are done is important.

Zhu Qizhen suddenly wanted to let the Ming army defeat at this moment, a defeat that was not big or small, just so that he had an entry point. He smiled dumbly in his heart, and said secretly: "I seem to be a first-class faint king, looking forward to the defeat of my army. ”

It's just that things are so ridiculous sometimes.

Zhu Qizhen calmed down his emotions and steadily approved four words on Zhang Fu's notebook: "Summoning the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, the Cabinet, and the Six Imperial Military Councils." ”

During the military discussion of Wuyingdian, Zhu Qizhen did not speak much during the whole process.

Zhang Fuxian put forward his own opinions, and Cao Yi also resisted the plan to establish the Haixi Capital Division, which was supported by Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen's support stemmed from Li Shimian's persuasion, and Li Shimian's support stemmed from his support for maritime defense.

As the supervisor, Li Shimian naturally recognized the importance of having a maritime fleet in the Ming Dynasty, and this transportation line was to pass through the Tsushima Strait, which was also a frequent place for Japanese invaders.

Naturally, an increase in maritime power is indispensable. It coincides with Li Shimian's interests.

Everyone knew that Cao Yi was recalled by the emperor from Liaodong, which meant that he realized it, so Cao Yi's opinion and Zhang Fu's opinion were combined and fused to reach the best plan for sending troops.

Chengguo Gong went out of Xuanfu, Xing'an Bo went out of Datong, Wu Jin Bo went out of Liaodong, and the three roads went out together, encircling and suppressing Wuliangha. The key to this battle is not how to fight, but how to find the main force of Uliangha.

So that's why it's a multi-way effort to expand the search area.

As for the arrangements for generals at all levels, Zhu Qizhen did not interfere, thinking about it, Zhang Fu did not arrange the people promoted by Zhu Qizhen at the top, what arrangements can the generals at all levels below have?

As for Cao Yi, he also sent troops, but he gathered the Jurchen tribes such as the Jianzhou Jurchens and the Haixi Jurchens, and then led them west to attack Uliangha.

It doesn't matter whether you can fight Wuliangha or not, what matters is to integrate the Jurchens for the use of the Ming Dynasty.

And Yisha took more than 10,000 people to the area of Shuangchengwei to find a place near the sea and build a city. And the chief officer of the maritime transport must transport the first batch of 100,000 stone of grain to the newly built Haixiwei after the ice age next year.

The imperial court allowed Yishiha to borrow grain from Korea in times of emergency.

This specific method, under the discussion of the Cabinet of the Cabinet and the Governor's Office of the Six Departments and Five Armies, Zhu Qizhen couldn't find anything wrong, so Zhu Qizhen made the most important speech of the meeting and said: "Accurate." ”

From beginning to end, Zhu Qizhen was just a decider. Do not easily get yourself into the battle between your courtiers.

So after the spring of the ninth year of orthodoxy, after Emperor Xuanzong's northern expedition to Wuliangha in the eighth year of Xuande, the Ming Dynasty went out to fight again, which kicked off.
