"The reason why the Chahar Department rose was because the Ming Dynasty was fighting against Jiannu at that time, and the Nine Border Army was empty, which allowed him to annex Monan and Inner Khalkha."

In the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is playing right.

This example has existed since ancient times, in the Ming Dynasty, whenever there was a major event, when the emperor could not make up his mind, he would call the humerus minister of his confidant to meet and discuss, which was to play the right game.

After the play, the courtiers will basically be regarded as the emperor's henchmen by the Manchu civil and military, and their prestige will rise a lot, which is also a symbol of honor for the ministers.

Cui Chengxiu has always regarded himself as a eunuch, although the Emperor of the Apocalypse has always had a close relationship with him, but this is the first time he has been summoned to come to Xinuan Pavilion to play the right match.

This is an affirmation and a spur for him.

The downfall of Donglin in the court is already irreversible, and then the eunuch family is dominant, and the emperor must have the right to trade-offs, and how to choose depends on himself.

Cui Chengxiu knew in his heart that the emperor wanted him to be the secretary of the military department, not because of how excellent his battle strategy and insight were, but simply because he didn't want Donglin to occupy it.

Now that Donglin has fallen, on the one hand, he can only continue to do his best to make suggestions, and on the other hand, it is time to prepare to abdicate and make way for Xian.

As for where to serve after the military department Shangshu, or to resign and return to his hometown, these still depend on the meaning of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

After listening to him, Zhu Youxiao tightened the brocade fur on his body and said:

"You are very right, Lin Dan Batur has always regarded himself as the Great Khan of Mongolia, to me, to Daming, but it is also yang and yin, in fact, in his heart, he only thinks about restoring the hegemony of his golden family."

"What is Aiqing's solution? Tell me about it..."

After speaking, he looked at Cui Chengxiu.

When Cui Chengxiu received the right decree last night, he guessed that it was for this matter, in order to behave well in front of the emperor, he racked his brains and didn't come up with any good solution.

"Your Majesty, now that the Chahar Department is in full swing, the Monan Ministry, and the Inner Khalkha Four Ministries have all submitted to it, and Lindan Batur has not only flocked to the Saibei Sanwei once."

"Look? Can the imperial court order the three guards of Saibei to move inward? Give up the land of the Three Guards to the Chahar Resident Pastor..."

Before the words were finished, Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly? Reprimanded:

"Ridiculous ——!"

"The imperial court fought with Jiannu last year? In order to keep Fuyuwei, while Jiannu was built one after another in the area from Guangning to Jinzhou? Wouldn't it chill the morale of the military to give up so easily. ”

"You are still the secretary of the military department? Don't have any other ideas in your stomach? ”

Zhu Youxiao said? sighed, glanced at the window eaves, looked at the light snow outside the warm pavilion, and didn't know if it was a sigh for the current situation? Still disappointed in Choi Chengxiu.

Cui Chengxiu is helpless? There is nothing to say.

The two monarchs and ministers were silent, and after a while, Zhu Youxiao stood up and looked at the border situation map hanging in the Xinuan Pavilion.

Since the news of the rise of the Chahar Department came, this picture was often hung in Xinuan Pavilion by Zhu Youxiao? In order to watch the situation at any time and contain the Western Prisoners.

Dongyu Jianzhou? Mainly refers to Nurhachi, Western Mongolia? It refers to Lindan Batur, which is the name of the Ming Dynasty for this area outside the Saiwai.

I have to say? Now at this time? Is the famine just beginning? These two people are both so-called heroes in history.

Zhu Youxiao desperately suppressed one of them, and in the blink of an eye, another one appeared.

However, compared to Nurhachi, Lin Danbatur's so-called stretching for thousands of miles is actually an endless source of internal troubles, and Zhu Youxiao already has some ideas, but they still need to be verified and confirmed.

After all, such a major policy cannot be decided on the basis of wishful thinking alone, and the impact on the future situation is immeasurable.

Zhu Youxiao had to ask more questions before he could make up his mind.

"Ugh..."

Zhu Youxiao broke the deadlock first, turned around and threw out a Tang newspaper, and said, "Take a look, this is the latest Tang newspaper sent by Datong Town yesterday." ”

"You, the secretary of the military department, I'm afraid you don't know yet."

Cui Chengxiu was taken aback and hurriedly picked it up to see.

This is unbelievable, and he didn't expect Lin Dan Batur to be so bold.

Lin Dan Batur is a two-pronged approach, on the one hand, he issued a letter to attract attention, and asked for the northern three guards with great fanfare, saying that the Uqiyet, Duoyan, and Weng Niute departments of the three guards in the north were already under the control of the Mongol Great Khan.

Among them, Zaisai of Uziyette is a descendant of his golden family.

As the Great Khan of the Mongols, he had the right and ability to deal with his own rebellion, and hoped that the Ming would not interfere with Chahar's attack on Fuyuwei's Uziyet.

"Now it's Uziyet, and then it's Duoyan and Weng Niute's turn, Saibei Sanwei is afraid that he won't be able to stop his mouth, and Korqin and Dongtumut are next."

After Cui Chengxiu finished speaking, he put down the Tang newspaper in shock.

Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly and said:

"It seems that you, the secretary of the military department, still have some knowledge, much better than Zhang Heming and Wang Huazhen, but I don't think so."

"If Lin Dan Batur eats the three guards of Saibei, but he doesn't dare to move too much against Horqin and Dongtumut, although Jiannu over there has suffered heavy losses, but after all, the strength is still there."

"Lin Dan Batur has always been jealous of Jianzhou, and there will be temptations, but as long as Jianzhou sends troops, he will not provoke Horqin and Dongtumut again."

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said:

"It's too early to say this, not to mention that I won't easily give up the three guards of Saibei, it's really not good, then fight again."

Zhu Youxiao sat back on the dragon chair and sneered:

"This Lin Dan Batur, with a letter to the country, asked me for the northern three guards and canonization of the fortress, in fact, you see, he has also gone to Datong to fight the grass valley."

Cui Chengxiu nodded and sighed:

"Lin Dan Batur looked like he was going to move troops against the three guards in Saibei, and actually sent Xitu Mot to surround and kill the tiger's mouth, and the imperial court gathered heavy troops on Datong West Road, but they came in from Baiyangkou on Datong East Road."

"The troops of Baiyangkou are weak, and the Chahar Department has been in the army since then, and the commander of the Zhenguan Guard has been martyred three days ago."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said:

"Killing the tiger's mouth and Saibei Sanwei are both bait to lure troops, in fact, Lin Dan Batur is going to come in from Baiyangkou, he has long made up his mind to come to Datong and Xuanfu to get a vote."

Cui Chengxiu also came to the edge of the map, looked at the armament of the border town, and said:

"My border stretches for thousands of miles, and there are not enough garrisons on the nine sides, and it is too difficult to hold every point of such a long border line, and this is not the fault of local generals."

Zhu Youxiao naturally knew that this was not the fault of the local generals, and he had no intention of punishing the crime, and the commander of the Zhenyu Guard made Tian Geng die in the battle, and also proved with practical actions that he was not a person who was greedy for life and afraid of war.

But the situation is like this, in history, Lin Dan Batur has been in the Kou several times, and no one can stop him, and now the problem is how to let him have no return and not let the next time he enter the Kou happen again.

Just as he was saying this, Wang Chaofu, the steward of the Qianqing Palace, came to the door and said softly:

"Master, Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng are here."
