Chapter 136: Shi Heng

Yang Hong said: "The minister thinks that Shi Heng is the best general in the world, and he is better than the minister to win the battle, but Shi Heng is only a general, not a handsome talent, and he can't get through the road." ”

"You can be a general, you can lead one party, not a marshal."

"The minister thinks that talents are rare, and the way to preserve them is that Shi Heng should not be placed in the Beijing Division, and it is best to lead troops outside."

Zhu Qizhen glanced at Yang Hong, but knew that Yang Hong had passed.

The contradiction between Yang Hong and Shi Heng has long been superficial.

Pretty much everything you should know knows,

Even Yang Hong could guess that the biggest threat to his position as a cabinet scholar was none other than Shi Heng.

But Yang Hong's answer was also decent.

First of all, he affirmed Shi Heng's talent, and then said that Shi Heng should be released.

This is also right, with Shi Heng's temperament, Zhu Qizhen didn't want to put him in Jingshi.

On the whole, it is impartial and neutral, although there is some implication of giving Shi Heng eye medicine. But by and large, it is not considered favoritism.

In fact, among the cabinet ministers, is that one really selfless?

In fact, they all have selfish intentions, Chen Xun is selfish, Wang Ji is selfish, Liu Dingzhi is selfish, and Li Xian is also selfish.

If you are selfish, you are not afraid, as long as you don't harm the public with your own selfishness.

But this point has passed, but the strength of presiding over the overall situation may not be visible.

Zhu Qizhen continued to ask, "Where is Shi Heng outside?" ”

Yang Hong said: "Dragon City." Your Majesty, please forgive the minister for saying bluntly, although Zhu Yi is a famous general, he can't control Longcheng. ”

"Longcheng goes deep into Mobei, the nearest is probably Zhaozhou, which is thousands of miles away, and Mobei is bitterly cold, and nearly half of the year is covered with heavy snow, cutting off traffic from the mainland."

"In this case, it is necessary to sit in Dragon City. Otherwise, the tile spur will make a comeback, and it is likely that the dragon city will be defeated in one battle, and the bloody battle of the soldiers will be abandoned in one day. ”

Zhu Qizhen also has doubts about the stronghold of Dragon City.

Without him, Dragon City is too far away.

If you garrison a large army in Longcheng, it will be a big problem to go back and forth to supply.

You must know that when Emperor Taizu established Daningwei, it took three years to transport hundreds of thousands of stone grain to Daning, and consumed millions of stone grain, but these hundreds of thousands of stone grain were also consumed very quickly.

It's always been a big burden.

Nowadays, it is a more difficult task to transport grain to Daning and Longcheng.

Some people may say that it is not enough to extend the Chidao to Mobei?

It's simply impossible.

All kinds of maintenance problems and cost problems of Chidao are not mentioned for the time being, and the economic cost of Chidao that stretches for thousands of miles alone cannot be afforded.

You know, it's not just about building a gallop

Simple, but also set up post stations along the way, otherwise how to change horses when the horses arrive?

There's a system behind it.

Unless from Zhaozhou to Longcheng, this way bypasses Hanhai. But in this way, the grain road is too long.

Haixi tun planting has just begun, and it is not enough to be self-sufficient, and it needs the assistance of the North Korean side.

Zhu Qizhen asked, "In your opinion, how should Dragon City be garrisoned?" ”

The problem of Dragon City, Zhu Qizhen also thought about it in his heart, but after all, it is a relatively distant problem, and he will die first, and the tile spur will suffer heavy losses, and when the tile spur comes, I am afraid it will take several years.

Zhu Qizhen had time to think, but now that Yang Hong had said it, Zhu Qizhen naturally wanted to ask his opinion.

Yang Hong said: "The minister thinks that the Longcheng soldiers are not many but fine, and the generals are not many, but heavy, only the famous ministers and heavy generals can shock the world, and Shewa can not stab." ”

"Even if the tile thorn makes a comeback, it will be enough to match, waiting for reinforcements from the imperial court. It is best to get the death power of the Hu people and defend the Dragon City with the power of the Hu people. ”

Zhu Qizhen heard Yang Hong say this and said, "In this way, it will be necessary for Shi Heng." ”

Shi Heng's talent is undoubted, and Shi Heng's reputation in the first battle made all the Mongolian tribes regard him as a ghost. Zhu Qizhen could see from the banquet that many Mongolians did not dare to look at Shi Heng at all.

For these people, they are the objects they dare not look at directly, and killing the people who are also the first is an existence that they are extremely awe-inspiring.

And the Mongols are afraid of power, the more they are afraid of Shi Heng, the more they can be used by Shi Heng, because Shi Heng is a strong man. And even the more good they are, the more they think they are weak.

Yang Hong said: "That's not the case, the minister thinks that there are still a few generals in the imperial court who can really convince Mongolia by garrisoning Longcheng, but they are not as good as Shi Heng." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Then how did Shi Hengdang settle in Dragon City. ”

Yang Hong said: "This is beyond the minister's words. ”

Yang Hong is very clear that even if he is a university scholar, he only has the right to make suggestions and no decisions in many key positions.

Not to mention that the cabinet scholars are not as good as the prime ministers of the Han and Tang dynasties, even the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty did not dare to infringe on the authority of an emperor in many key personnel rights.

Yang Hong said that it was enough. Besides, the line is crossed.

And Yang Hong also understands very well that His Majesty is not a young monarch and a weak lord. You don't need to be taught how to do things at all.

Zhu Qizhen nodded secretly in his heart, and said secretly in his heart: "In this way, Yang Hong can be in the cabinet for a little longer." "Sensible, sensible, and proficient in military affairs. Even more like a politician than a military strategist.

Such a person can sit firmly in the cabinet.

Zhu Qizhen said: "If you have merit, you will be rewarded, if you have a fault, you will be punished, I will also reward you for your merits, and I have just reprimanded you for your mistakes, I hope you will do a good job in the future."

Affair. Don't let me down. ”

Yang Hong said: "The minister obeys. ”

Immediately, Yang Hong retreated.

Zhu Qizhen pondered for a while, and then made a new adjustment to Shi Heng's takeout, which made people call Shi Heng over.

Not long after, Shi Heng had already arrived.

Zhu Qizhen also said in the same sentence: "Shi Heng, are you guilty?" ”

Shi Heng also knelt on the ground honestly at this moment and said, "The minister is guilty." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "What crime? ”

Shi Heng was full of unconvinced in his heart, but he also knew that this was not the time to fight with the emperor, so he said: "The minister should not be good at making claims, and if he does not negotiate with Yang Hong, he will pursue first." ”

Zhu Qizhen saw Shi Heng's unconvincing, and said: "The general is outside, the monarch's order is not subject to it, as a general, you have the right to act cheaply, why is it wrong?" ”

This sentence simply spoke to Shi Heng's heart.

He never felt like he was at fault. As soon as he entered the battlefield, he was single-mindedly thinking about victory, seizing the fighter plane, grasping the fighter plane, and what was wrong.

He just was, the emperor said that if he is guilty, he must be guilty.

Shi Heng was overjoyed, but when he looked up, he saw that Zhu Qizhen's face was gloomy and could drip water, and he didn't know that Zhu Qizhen was talking back.

He immediately bowed his head and said: "No, the military order is the heaviest in the army, and the minister who does not obey the military order is guilty." ”

Zhu Qizhen sneered and said, "So you know it too?" Then his face softened a little, and said: "Shi Heng, you are promoted by me, you can win the battle, I have always been very happy, I have never blamed you for your battle of Xingkai Lake." ”

"But why this battle, I want to say you. Do you understand? ”

Shi Heng said: "The minister does not obey the military order. ”

Zhu Qizhen said slowly: "Yang Hong was a cowardly person, when he went down to Daning, he immediately rushed to Zhaozhou to relieve the siege of Zhaozhou, I He once said a word. ”

"The reason why Yang Hong didn't pursue the tile spur was because he knew it deeply, the battle of the Northern Expedition was not to chase the north, with the strength of the Taizong, the generals gathered, and the five out of the desert north, what is the consequence?"

"Therefore, the Mobei grassland can only be encroached on step by step, and you can't be greedy for merit, otherwise you will fight ten battles of Yanran, and in the end, it will just be the return of the class teacher."

"What good is it to the world?"

"This is what Yang Hong knows very well, what you don't understand."

Shi Heng didn't know whether he really understood or not, and immediately said: "The minister is stupid, he doesn't know His Majesty's deep meaning, and he is in danger of a major matter, so I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness." ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Get up, after all, you are a meritorious man, since you have won the battle, you will have everything you should have, and the previous things have been reprimanded, and it will be over." You are also a general, and you must not do this in the future, you must think more about the policy of the imperial court, and you must not act rashly. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister will definitely remember in the future." Shi Heng said.
