Chapter VIII Strategic Planning for the Battle of Liaodong

It is estimated that the tile spur is even happy to see it.

After Zhu Qizhen figured it out, he agreed with most of this battle in his heart.

He even had a feeling of being eager to try.

This is also Zhu Qizhen's feeling for the Ming military.

Didn't Zhu Qizhen want to reform the Ming army? It's not that he doesn't want to, he's been thinking about it, but how can he toss civil officials, even if something happens, Zhu Qizhen can bear it.

However, if the reform of the armed forces is not carried out well, it is estimated that it will be a coup d'état. Zhu Qizhen naturally had to be cautious.

He carried out military reform in two directions, on the one hand, to promote his own people. Meng Ying, Guo Deng, and other generals. Another aspect is the reform of the system, that is, martial arts.

But he felt that he could not move forward on either side.

Institutional aspect, for the time being, there is too much involved. Naturally, you can't act rashly. But why push forward in terms of promoting cronies.

Zhu Qizhen thought about it, that is, the army was too stable.

Although Zhu Qizhen wants to promote people, the premise is to promote people who can fight, not to promote people casually. But how do you know if a person can fight a war?

Zhu Qizhen didn't have a sharp eye, so he was naturally fighting.

In the Northwest Rebellion, Zhu Qizhen discovered Jiang Gui. In the Battle of Luchuan, Zhu Qizhen determined Meng Ying and others. He had a vague feeling in his heart that military reform often requires external forces.

He would rather fight a dozen, as long as he fights to see the combat effectiveness of the army, and only by fighting can he pan for gold in a big wave, Zhu Qizhen can promote the generals who can fight at the bottom one by one to complete the renewal of the Ming military.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen had already agreed in his heart, but he didn't say it, but said: "This matter is too important to investigate, you have a question book, and you will discuss it in the cabinet first." ”

Zhang Fu said: "The minister understands. ”

Zhu Qizhen sent Zhang Fu away, and he felt that the knot in his heart was untied. For Yang Pu to give up the Hamiwei excerpt, it is also pleasing to the eye. The opinion drawn up by Yang Pu above is that if the Guanxi Qiwei finally ordered Jiang Gui to respond in Jiayu Pass and settle in the Guannei, if the Guanxi Qiwei is attached to the thorn, then the court will be lenient and not guilty. Even tributaries are allowed as before.

This is also where Yang Pu is a political veteran.

Although the attachment of the Kansai Qiwei to the tile spur was a betrayal of the Ming Dynasty, because of the economic relevance, the Kansai Qiwei naturally wanted to attach themselves to the imperial court.

And looking at the actions of the tile spur, the tile spur wants to marry the king of Hami, and he does not mean to wipe out the local forces.

Then continue to maintain the economic ties with the Kansai Qiwei, and when the main force of the tile spur is no longer there in the future, even send an envoy to pull the Kansai Qiwei back.

After all, the tile spur will suck blood in the seven guards of Kansai, but Da Ming is sending it

Money. This kind of interest tendency is enough to make the connection between the tile spur and the Kansai Seven Guards not close.

There is also a cost to the maintenance of the rule of the tile spurs.

Compared with Daming, the same is true for tile spurs, he maintains a strategic direction, he spends a penny more, and Daming is more than his family, but Yang Pu is not afraid.

Zhu Qizhen sighed, although he still felt uncomfortable, but he circled it and threw it aside, which means that he had seen it.

However, Zhu Qizhen immediately issued an order: "Order Cao Yi, the chief military officer of Liaodong, and the eunuch of Liaodong Town to also lose Ha Laijing." ”

Zhu Qizhen has always had thoughts about Liaodong.

The previous promotion of various policies was not very good, although Yishiha was also very strong in promoting the cultivation of rice in Liaodong Tuntian, but you must know that the Ming Dynasty has always attached great importance to the matter of Liaodong Tuntian since Emperor Taizu.

Zhu Qizhen's attention is just a continuation of the policy that has always been there. Even in the Yongle period, there were exiled criminals to Tuntian, Liaodong, and under this long-term attention, Liaodong officials in Tuntian can be said to have thought of a way, and they have thought about it. However, the population of Liaodong is limited, and the area of tuntian is also limited.

Even in the past two years, the biggest bright spot of Tuntian in Liaodong is nothing else, that is, Phoenix Wei Tuntian, because it has attracted a lot of North Korean people, and this additional population inflow has become the biggest driving force for Tuntian.

But on the whole, there hasn't been much progress.

Even Zhu Qizhen dispatched elite soldiers and strong generals to Liaodong, for example, the current governor of Liaodong is Wang Ao. He is a very capable minister.

Zhu Qizhen had been brewing a plan in his heart for a long time, wondering if he could use this battle to promote the expansion of the imperial court in the northeast, and at least re-establish the existence of liuguan in Nu'er Gandusi.

When Zhu Qizhen hurriedly summoned the military leaders of Liaodong to Beijing. Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong also came to visit Zhang Fu.

The Duke of Chengguo and the Duke of England were both born in Jingnan, and their relationship with the palace was very hard. Zhang Fu summoned the right thing in Wuying Palace, and Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, had speculation in his heart.

Since Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, came to ask, Zhang Fu didn't hide much and told his plan.

Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong's eyes lit up and said: "Okay, gather the power of Xuanfu, Datong, and the three towns of Liaodong, and give Wuliangha a hard blow." This is long overdue. Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong's tone suddenly changed, and he said, "Brother Zhang, do you have any ideas about the candidates?" ”

When Zhang Fu heard this, he immediately understood and said, "Do you have any ideas?" ”

Cheng Guogong said: "I understand, since you told me about this, I think that the general who commands the army in your heart is me." ”

Zhang Fu listened to it and did not refute it.

Zhang Fu recommended Zhu Yong, although he may not have the intention of taking care of his own people, but he really doesn't have much selfishness. First of all, the integration of the three towns, this matter, for the general, must have deep qualifications, can settle the various ministries.

this

One point, Zhu Qizhen's love general Meng Ying is not suitable.

After all, Meng Ying has been in exile for ten years, and in Xuanfu, Datong, Liaodong, and even Jingying, except for the old department that followed him to the south, his foundation is very shallow.

It may not be a good choice for him to sit in this position.

Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong continued: "The following generals, I want to choose some of my own people. ”

Zhang Fu sighed and said, "Actually, I want to use more newcomers, don't you understand Your Majesty's intentions?" ”

Cheng Guogong said: "I understand, but my family's efforts for so many years can't really stand aside, I can also see that Your Majesty is not necessarily a newcomer, but a person who can fight." ”

"As long as you can fight, Your Majesty may not care whose person it is?"

"If the people promoted by His Majesty are loyal to His Majesty, will we not be loyal to the imperial court in the family of the Duke of Guo, who is resting with the country."

"Besides, who can fight and who can't fight is only known after fighting. If you don't let your juniors fight a dozen, how do you know if you can fight? ”

"My position is to be passed on to my son, and I'm old, even if I'm idle at home, I don't have anything, but I always have to spread some connections to those stinky boys in my family."

When Zhang Fu heard this, his heart suddenly softened a lot.

After all, his son was also born. When he thought of his stinky boy, he sighed in his heart, he was already in his sixties, and now this kid is still in infancy. It is very likely that the child has not grown up yet, so he went first.

Even if the king of Hejian rescued him and died, he fought in the east and west, and made great contributions, but if he didn't have enough connections in the army, when his youngest son grew up, he could only defend an empty British duke?

That's what worries him.

Raising a child is ninety-nine, and he often has the worry of being a hundred years old.

And now Zhang Fu is even more so. Therefore, Zhang Fu can't say anything to refuse Cheng Guogong's opinion, because Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong is younger than him, and Zhu Yong's sons and nephews are a lot.

The two families are world friends, and once he has a case, he needs Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, to take care of his son.

Moreover, Zhang Fu felt that what Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, said may not be wrong.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, today's young son of heaven, naturally it is not easy to use these old things of them, and he wants to promote young people, but he can retire, but their sons and nephews also have to enter another book?

If you really want to talk about it, after these nobles, they are the real seedlings. With the Ming Dynasty, there is a loss, a loss, and a glory.

British Gong Zhang Fu said: "Don't make a noise about this matter, I know what to do?" But you also have to pick and choose, after all, you are going to go to the battlefield. With our family background, it doesn't matter how many losers we have, if it doesn't work, don't send them to the battlefield, and it will be uncomfortable below, and you also want white-haired people to send black-haired people. ”

Zhu Yong agreed. I don't know if I really listened.
