Wang Yue and Zhu Houyu are definitely two poisonous people, the Korean lord Li Yu went to see Zhu Houyu and was sent to dig potatoes, and the Mongolian right-wing 30,000 households Khan replied, after seeing Wang Yue, he ran to the cattle pen every day, especially to push feed, sweep cow dung, and bathe cattle.

He didn't care what the Ministry of War and the Household Department talked about, as long as the time was up, he would pout his ass and run to Wang Yue's cowshed.

Zhang Jing and Xu Jie's eyes were wide-eyed, this matter was outrageous, they wanted to kill me and answer, after all, this goods were stolen from the Hetao, and there were many voices of revenge in the court.

Or to put it simply, they don't want to accept my plan, and they also fund the Mongols' westward expedition, which is outrageous in itself, so they simply send troops, directly destroy me and save more trouble, and can also add some military merits to us, they have not used soldiers for several years, and the big guys are impatient.

At this time, I replied that I ran to Wang Yue all day long, which was a fox and a fake tiger.

"Motosuke won't not understand my plan, so why should Motosuke condone me? Could it be that Motosuke really doesn't want to use soldiers? Zhang Jing hesitated and said to Xu Jie.

Xu Jie spread his hands, "Master Zhang, you are the military staff officer of my division, it stands to reason that you should know better than me!" Master, I don't dare to speculate casually about what kind of calculation he is...... But if you want me to say, let's let the master call the shots, and relax a little more when it comes to dealing with me, what do you think? ”

Zhang Jing thought about it for a while, and finally nodded......

After more than 10 days of discussions, the military department finally came up with a set of plans...... The Ming Dynasty provided the Mongolian right wing with ordnance and armor, plus grain and grass uniforms...... The total price shall not be less than one million yuan.

In addition, the Ming court took out 200,000 stone of grain every year to take care of the left-behind people in the Hetao area, promised to ensure their livelihood, and also purchased materials in full, so that they could live without worry.

Three years later, the Mongol tribes moved westward one after another, and the Ming court had to provide convenience and not obstruct it.

In exchange, I replied that the land obtained from the western expedition was used as a bargaining chip and given priority to the Ming Dynasty......

This contract was sent to the cabinet, and the other ministries immediately blew up, especially the imperial court minister of the left capital, who slapped the table directly.

"Zhang Shangshu, Xu Shangshu! Did you let me be bought? ”

Zhang Jing said with a stiff face: "Lord Wang, you have to talk about evidence!" ”

"Evidence?" Wang Tingxiang snorted coldly: "If there is evidence, I will deal with you directly!" Look, what is this condition? I don't say anything else, North Korea stole the land of Liaodong, how did Yuanfu deal with it? The army was sent to requisition, and the DPRK was to return the land, compensate the rent, and severely punish it. How? When I got to Ida, the money was gone, and the land could not be returned for the time being. We also need to give food, give ordnance...... What if I turn around and bite us? ”

Tang Long, who had not spoken much, also said in a muffled voice: "With the national strength of my Ming Dynasty, it is not difficult to recover the Hetao. If we spend money to redeem it and repeat the old thing of Song Huizong buying back Yanyun, we will all become a laughing stock...... Your military department and household department should have an explanation. ”

Zhang Jing and Xu Jie looked at each other and grinned bitterly, we also want to explain, but we don't know what to explain?

Master did look at me differently and treated me too favorably...... You let us say, I'm afraid we can't say it clearly!

In the Wenyuan Pavilion, the air was very depressing, and several high-ranking officials of the ministry were angry with each other, as if they were about to fight.

At this time, Wang Yue came back from the Qianqing Palace with a smile, and he just went to chat with Zhu Houxi for a while, and then returned to the cabinet.

Seeing that everyone's faces were solemn, he guessed and smiled on his face.

"Do you think the treatment I gave me was too lenient?" Wang Yue smiled: "Come, bring the map." ”

Soon someone brought a huge map, and it couldn't fit on the table, so Wang Yue let it spread out on the ground, and then he lay on it, and stretched out his hand to beckon a few people, so that the big guy could gather around.

Wang Yue smiled and said: "There is a saying that hearing is false, and seeing is believing." With this map, it's much easier for us to talk...... You see, over the years, we have restored the Danein Prefecture, conquered Korea and the Wa Kingdom, accepted the Ryukyus, and conquered Annam...... Look, where is the focus of our use of troops? ”

For such a simple question, there was no need for Zhang Jing of the military department at all, and Ouyang Bijin replied directly: "It's the eastern half...... In fact, in the past two thousand years, there has been a trend from the northwest to the southeast! ”

His argument makes the big guy's eyes shine, and it really makes sense.

Qin, Han, Sui, and Tang ...... The common feature of these dynasties is that they took Guanzhong as the base, unified the six countries, counterattacked the Xiongnu, and broke the Turks, and the main force was our old Qin people.

It can be said that Shaanxi has dominated the world for a thousand years.

However, with the destruction of the environment, the Guanzhong Plain has become more and more barren and unable to assume the responsibilities of the heart of the empire, so the capital has changed from Chang'an to Luoyang, from Luoyang to Kaifeng, and then from Kaifeng to Nanjing......

Behind the migration of the capital, the entire economic center of gravity is from north to south.

Ouyang Bijin said that the general trend of the whole world is from the northwest to the southeast, which is very appropriate.

"Emperor Taizong moved the capital from Yingtian to Beijing, although he left Jiangnan, but he couldn't do without Jiangnan's financial support, which led to Caoyun's ......"

Wang Yue concluded: "In the past ten years, we have changed the law and reformed and used troops abroad...... The core is to work around the Beijing division and constantly consolidate the capital, do you think so? ”

Everyone groaned, restored the Daning Division, cleared the acres of fields, opened the sea in Tianjin, crusaded against North Korea, and implemented shipping ...... It's really to consolidate the capital.

The so-called Son of Heaven guarding the country is arrogant, but the actual operation is a bitter stomach.

Not only is the cost huge, but from the Son of Heaven to the hundred officials, all of them are not at peace.

Until now, I'm afraid that no one will think that there is still any crisis in the capital.

Now that we've solved the security problem, isn't it time to think about the next step?

How to develop and strengthen the Ming Dynasty and create a real prosperous era?

Faced with this huge map, the big guy fell into deep thought...... The restoration of the Hetao must be put on the agenda, and it is urgent to solve the problem, but is it too cheap to do this?

Wang Yue smiled slightly, "Princesses, do you think the Hetao alone is enough?" ”

"Ahh

Wu Peng was startled and hurriedly said, "Yuanfu has a bigger strategy?" ”

Wang Yue chuckled, he dropped his hand on the Hexi Corridor, "Princess, can we control this place?" ”

When a few people saw it, their faces turned red and they were very embarrassed...... In the end, the Ming Dynasty focused on the north, but did not have much substantial control over the west.

The traditional land of the Western Regions of the Han and Tang Dynasties was not counted in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and I have to say that this is a big pity.

And what's worse is that in the Zhengde Dynasty, even the Hamiwei who ruled by the fetters was lost and fell into the hands of Turpan.

In recent years, there have been no fewer battles in the west, killing and looting, and every year the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have been killed, and some people have been plundered.

Someone has to ask, why is there no movement?

The reason is very simple, just four words: the whip is beyond reach!

"Duplication is important, but is it enough?" Wang Yue smiled and said: "Do we want to march into the entire Western Regions, take back Hami, capture Turpan, control Qinghai, and incorporate the original Western Regions into the territory?" ”

Want!

How not!

Motosuke, if you say this, won't we have spirit?

These people looked to the northwest, and their heads were dizzy...... That's a huge land! In terms of area alone, it is even half the size of the Ming Dynasty.

What's worse is that these lands stretch westward, almost endlessly.

It's not easy to lay such a large territory, right?

Everyone kept thinking about it, and gradually grasped Wang Yue's train of thought.

"Motosuke is planning to drive the tiger and devour the wolf?"

Wang Tingxiang leaned over and asked.

"Count? It's almost a dog to catch a badger, right? ”

Everyone hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but laugh.

After laughing, I couldn't help but exclaim, Wang Yue's appetite was really scary!

According to the normal way of thinking, restore the Hetao, use troops to the west, recover Hami, march to Turpan, and march all the way...... It's just that according to the experience of the Western Han Dynasty, if you want to complete this set of work, you don't have twenty or thirty years, don't think about success.

After all, they have to emigrate, they have to fight, they have to build bridges, pave roads, build cities, and they have to get their people to stand firm...... To put it mildly, if you want to be completely mature, even the youngest of the people present will not see the day of success.

Since this was the case, Wang Yue prescribed another prescription.

With me as the precursor...... Wang Yue was not afraid of his counterattack, and he didn't care what problems he would encounter. What Wang Yue was thinking about was how to mobilize all the forces on this road, as long as the enemies all surfaced and gathered together, with the strength of the Ming army, it was enough to succeed in a battle, as for the next thing, let's talk about it slowly.

Even if you swallow dates, you must eat them in your stomach first...... Half a month later, I returned to the Hetao with the smell of cow dung and a young official named Zeng Miao.

"Master Zeng, let you follow me for a long time, I really don't want to go!"

Zeng Mo smiled faintly, "The Khan is polite, the lower official is cultivating geography in the Hanlin Academy, and this time he was sent out, so that he can appreciate the magnificence of the mountains and rivers, the lonely smoke of the desert, and the sunset over the long river...... Looking at the wind blowing the grass and seeing the cattle and sheep, I am already satisfied. ”

I raised my eyebrows, and I was secretly satisfied.

And at this moment, the soldiers and horses of Henan, Huguang, and Bashu converged...... With the advancement of the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty received a number of the best quality soldiers in these provinces.

As a result of rigorous training, these Forces nouvelles fighters are proficient in handling firearms and disciplined...... A full 80,000 soldiers and horses went to Xi'an.

This is the essence of a great power, and there is no need to alarm the capital at all, and a strong army can be gathered.

"General Lu, take over the decree of His Majesty from the Cabinet...... This battle will go straight to the Western Regions, and if Hami is no longer restored, the troops will never be withdrawn! ”

Lu Bo was shocked, and then shouted angrily at the soldiers: "Send troops!" ”
