Chapter 166: Strategic Resolution

In the Wuying Palace, Zhu Qizhen sat on the dragon chair and sighed slightly.

Today is still a beginning, and the adjustment among the ministers will continue for a while.

After all, just as Zhu Qizhen needs the assistance of the cabinet to do things, Zhou Chen's new first assistant, he also needs to form his own team, and it is naturally impossible for him to monopolize power.

But he doesn't have his own manpower, and I'm afraid Zhou Chen's decree won't be implemented.

Of course, Zhu Qizhen has never doubted Zhou Chen's ability to do things. If you want to straighten out the government, it won't take much time.

He regretted it slightly.

It's autumn, and it's still some time before winter begins.

The Tile Spur army can't march in winter, so Zhu Qizhen probably thinks that the Tile Spur will go south in the next spring, but there is still a period of time before winter.

If the Tile Thorn army invades in the autumn, Daming's preparation is really not easy to say.

This is why Zhu Qizhen hurriedly summoned all the people who spoke to the top nobles of the Ming Dynasty.

However, in a moment in the Wuying Palace, the Daming Xungui was full of people.

There are a lot of people here who don't show up on weekdays, but it's not unimportant.

For example, Song Ying, Marquis of Xining, he was one of the candidates that the Empress Dowager relied on to stabilize the Beijing camp when Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne, and he was the master of the Ming Dynasty.

For example, Wu Xing, although he was transferred from the post of Caoyun General Soldier to serve in the army, is now also a general in the Beijing camp.

He has returned from the war in Haixi, Guo Deng.

Wujin Hou Zhu Mian.

There are also two Wu Keqin brothers.

And so on, and so on, and many more.

These people are naturally incomparable with the authority of the British Duke and the Cheng Guo Gong, but they are also the foundation of the Ming army.

After all, they don't stand on the side of the civilian officials.

But from the root, they are all members of the Ming royal family, but they are the people of Emperor Taizong and Emperor Xuanzong.

Even Liu Yongcheng was waiting in the hall.

It can be said that the heavyweights of the Ming military, except for those outside. It's all here.

Zhu Qizhen said: "The tile thorn is too much to deceive me, today I will discuss how to deal with the tile thorn going south, the British prince, you are the minister of the pillar left by Emperor Taizong, and the empress dowager also told me that all military affairs must be consulted before acting." Now the situation is how to deal with it. ”

The British Duke said: "The tile thorn is crazy, and it must be conquered, but the court is troubled, and the Henan Dagong consumes the manpower and material resources of the imperial court." It may not be possible to go deep into the grassland, and His Majesty ordered to cut off the tile spur trade, and the ministers knew about the tile spur, without the materials of the Ming Dynasty, the tile spur could not be supported for two years. ”

"It can be used as a way to wait for work, and the heavy troops are gathered on the plug and fight against the tile spurs

War. ”

British Gong Zhang Fu is not too optimistic about the current situation, in his opinion, he knew the current situation, it is better to fight last year.

Last year, although the imperial court was also providing disaster relief, the amount of disaster relief last year was not as large as this year. Two years to consume down. The treasury of the Ming Dynasty is the most difficult time since the orthodoxy ascended the throne.

But the British know a little better.

That is, Zhu Qizhen has made up his mind, and for this matter, he has dismissed three scholars. It is impossible to change such a posture.

British Gong Zhangfu is not just a general, every general who can command hundreds of thousands of troops is not a simple general. There must be statesman attributes.

He has seen that he can't change it.

Zhang Fu didn't have the idea of having a hard top with Zhu Qizhen.

Zhang Fu is a military general, if he has a hard top with Zhu Qizhen, whether he succeeds or not, it will not be beneficial to the British government or the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, Zhang Fu did not attach much importance to the defeated general Watt Spur, especially the battle between Tile Pier and Cao Yi in Korea, as well as the anticlimactic siege of Haixi.

It seems to see the weakness of the Tile Thorn.

Therefore, although Daming's situation is not very good, there is no problem with beating the tile spurs.

Just think about it.

During the time of Emperor Taizong, he fought Mongolia in the north and Jiaozhi in the south, and hundreds of thousands of troops were mobilized in each place, as well as to go to the South Seas to build the city of Beijing.

When the imperial court first set out on the expedition, it actually did not use all its strength.

Although it is not the best situation, in Zhang Fu's opinion, there is nothing that cannot be beaten. And what is the most important thing about the victory or defeat of this battle?

On the front line?

No, Zhang Fu felt that in the palace.

Zhang Fu also grew up watching Zhu Qizhen, and he is also very clear about Zhu Qizhen's military ability.

Even if Zhu Qizhen gets up every day to exercise and draw a bow and shoot arrows, Zhu Qizhen's military ability is a few points, and if he goes into battle to kill the enemy, he is probably a qualified soldier. But leading the troops to fight, there are too many thoughts and too many things. If you don't go through training, you really don't want to be a qualified general.

What he is most afraid of is Zhu Qizhen's personal expedition, even if he does not personally recruit, blind command is a big trouble.

Therefore, Zhang Fu explained the strategy while trying to find a way to pat himself on the back, it is best to make the emperor listen to it comfortably, as long as the emperor does not want to come on a whim, this battle will be won by three percent.

Zhu Qizhen listened to the words of the British Prince, and there was no wave in his heart, because the British Prince's plan has not changed for so many years. He said: "I am relieved that Chengguo Gong sent troops, but I am worried that if the tile spur goes south this time, I am afraid it will not be Xuanda." ”

The British Duke said: "There is Cao Yi in Liaodong, and Jiao Li in Haixi." Gansu has Ren Li, this generation is able to recruit good fighters, the tile spur army comes, but also enough for His Majesty to guard, so no matter how many ways the tile spur comes, the decisive battle is the place outside the mouth of Xuanda. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "The Xuanfu ordered Guo Deng to guard it, and Datong led Yang Hong to guard it. In order to reserve for the Duke of Chengguo, he ordered all towns to guard the border wall and not to go out of the fortress. What does Guogong think? ”

Zhu Qizhen has thought about how to fight with the tile spur, I don't know how many times, this time it is not so much a discussion as a ventilation.

Before, it was a discussion, but it was limited to a few people at the top.

This time, however, the decision spread.

In fact, Zhu Qizhen was in the decision, but he actually had a little bit of caution.

Although the British said that they would win, Zhu Qizhen still had a little shadow on the tile spurs, so on top of the arrangement, he left his own people on the second line and did not participate in the decisive battle outside the mouth.

Yang Hong and Guo Deng are two people, guarding Xuanda. Baoding Hou Mengying did not participate in the expedition, so he naturally had to stay in Beijing.

It can be said that after Chengguo Gong set out on the expedition, the left-behind army in Beijing was Zhu Qizhen's descendants.

If Chengguo Gong wins, it goes without saying, if Chengguo Gong loses.

Then, Zhu Qizhen can justifiably knock down the generals of the Chengguo Gong family, the Hongxuan auxiliary political group represented by Sanyang has already withdrawn, and the Jingnan Xungui group left by Emperor Taizong has also come to withdraw.

However, Zhu Qizhen still hoped that Chengguo Gong could win.

After all, Zhu Qizhen is not in a hurry this morning.

Anyway, the time is with him, the British Duke is almost seventy, and the Chengguo Duke is also in his sixties, and their disciples can't say that they can't say much, but just that they are ordinary.

After boiling them to death, what else is there to handle in Jing Nanxungui.

Time will give everyone an answer, and Zhu Qizhen only needs to wait for this answer.

Immediately, Zhu Qizhen assigned the task, and the Beijing camp claimed to be 500,000 horses, but it was also said before. The shortage of the army of the Ming Guard is nearly one-third, and the 500,000 army is naturally watery.

Among them, the army of Shandong Henan Weinan Zhili Weisuo was all conscripted on top of Henan Dagong, that is, there were no 70,000 class troops.

There are 400,000 left, of which not a third is short, but there are also tens of thousands of horses.

In other words, the actual number of people in the Daming Jingying is around 350,000, which is why Zhu Qizhen has been keeping a close eye on it in recent years.

This time, fifteen men and horses were allocated, one of the Shenji Battalion, one of the five military battalions, and even all 3,000 battalions were dispatched.

However, it is not easy for the army to be dispatched, here is just to prepare first, and wait for the movement on the side of the tile spur, and then decide when the army will leave Beijing.

After arranging all this, Zhu Qizhen seemed to remember something, and ordered to mobilize 30,000 soldiers and horses from the Fujian Capital Division to enter Beijing by sea.

Fang Jin has been rectifying the soldiers and horses in Fujian, and the performance is quite effective, and Zhu Qizhen wants to see it.

He's certainly not meant to review. After all, he can't check anything, he wants to see how the Fujian soldiers perform on the battlefield.
