Chapter XVIII: The Possibility of Civil Strife in the Tile Thorns

Zhu Qizhen also has some understanding of Wang Ji's point of view.

Of course, everyone has their own reasons for judging the situation, but which direction the situation will go is full of unknowns.

He was also called Khan, and now is the time when his majesty is unbeatable.

But at this time, there were a lot more people who communicated privately with the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the Jurchen Wei Wuzhiwei and Wuliangha mentioned by Wang Ji, there were also tribes in the west, and even the king of Hami.

At first glance, it seems to be a betrayal of relatives.

It is no wonder that everyone in the grassland tribes is in danger.

In fact, it is also difficult to ride a tiger first, which is the most critical step to let the Ross family replace the Erjin family first.

For the Mongols, the importance of Genghis Khan cannot be overestimated, and it can even be said that before Genghis Khan, the various tribes that existed in the Mongolian steppe could not be called a nation, only Genghis Khan finalized the basic system of Mongolia, the Mongolian script and so on.

And almost all the tribes in the steppe are related to Genghis Khan.

First of all, if he doesn't clean up all these old forces, he can't rest assured. After all, the grassland is rebellious, and only strength is the plan.

Don't look at the Syros family that is so prosperous now, but can you also guarantee that the Philos family will continue to be like this in the future? If you can't kill all of them, when the Ross family declines, the revenge of the Pora family will definitely be extremely cruel.

Forcibly removing the influence of the Erjinjin family from the hearts of the Mongols, and the difficulties encountered first were ahead of their time.

It's easy to kill, but it's hard to convince people.

If he only wanted to be a Mongol Khan who everyone submitted, he could do it, but if he wanted to become an emperor like the Ming Dynasty, he would have to face more opponents.

But first be confident that he can do it all.

So instead of slowing down, he became even more aggressive.

It seems that all political enemies have been killed, and there will be no enemies in the future.

There were only two results of such a situation, one was that Temujin's influence was cut off from the Mongol tribes with a butcher's knife first, and the other was that the desperate sons of the Sons fought back to the death.

Also called Khan first, but it was the end of everything, but the battle turned into the second half?

No one can tell.

After all, the power struggle has changed frequently in recent years, and Jinyiwei's intelligence network can only pass on the results, but it may not be able to understand the various undercurrents.

After all, these undercurrents can only know the inside story unless they go deep into it.

How could Jinyiwei go so far?

So in the outsiders

It seems, chaos.

Anything can happen.

Therefore, Wang Ji should retain his troops, and if there is a change, he can intervene in the period.

It's just that Zhu Qizhen doesn't want such a victory.

Because such a victory is nothing but an incomplete victory. The Ming Dynasty still can't directly rule Mobei, and if it can't be listed in Mobei for a day, the border troubles in the north of the Ming Dynasty will not end for a day.

Unless the interference force is increased, but the troop consumption with North Korea and the troop consumption with the tile spur are two different levels, not to mention anything else, the DPRK is also regarded as a powerful country in the east of the sea, and it can be used to defeat the enemy because of food, but it is impossible to have such an idea when fighting the tile spur.

The fight against North Korea and Liaodong can also support grain and grass, and the difficulty of grain and grass transportation is completely different from the grassland campaign.

Even if the finances are very difficult, Zhu Qizhen can still squeeze out one or two million taels of silver by gritting his teeth.

If you scrape together a little more grain and grass, and reward the whole army with North Korean goods, this war can still be fought, but the reputation is a little bad, and the 10 million taels that Liu Dingzhi said may not be wrong, but some exaggerations are inevitable, and in Liu Dingzhi's calculations, it is the result of all the expenses being spent by the household department.

However, Zhu Qizhen did not advocate war with North Korea at the moment, and the difficult financial situation and complicated situation made Zhu Qizhen a little hesitant. The second is that Zhu Qizhen is sure that Li Jin will not change his mind. Because he has no way back.

Zhu Qizhen said: "The meaning of the Qing, I know, let the Ministry of Rites send an envoy to North Korea, if the traitor Li Yao is willing to go to Beijing to ask for guilt, read it in the face of King Zhuang Xian, it may not be impossible to open the net, but he is obsessed, don't say it is unpredictable." ”

Zhu Qizhen did this because he wanted the Manchu Dynasty to have nothing to say.

If the envoy fails once, send it again, if it doesn't work, send it a third time, after three times, it still doesn't work, and when the time comes, the Manchu civil and military forces naturally have nothing to say.

And it is also necessary to give Li Yao a little time to prepare, whether it is to clean up political enemies or unite the two classes of Korean nobles. Completed Xu Youzhen's idea of discounting the backbone of North Korea in World War I.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Zhu Qizhen's words made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Although some people may not know that Zhu Qizhen is a delaying tactic, many people have no problem with fighting North Korea, after all, most of Zhu Qizhen's cabinet ministers are main battle factions, such as Wang Ji and Liu Dingzhi, what they care about is that the current conditions are not ripe, not that they have any objection to fighting North Korea itself.

Anyway, it is impossible for the DPRK to run away with long legs, and when the domestic and foreign environment improves a little, wouldn't it be just right to take the DPRK again?

This one thing was pressed first. Immediately, Zhu Qizhen left the five governors of the five armies. By the way, Wang Ji was also kept.

But it was to discuss a strategy for attacking Korea.

None of them.

The war may drag on for months,

But the plan can't be prepared first.

After all, this is not the afterlife, in the drawer of the General Staff, it is estimated that there is a thick stack of battle plans, and there are all kinds of fighters, and it is estimated that the plans for fighting aliens will be divided into ABC because of different aliens.

Zhu Qizhen said: "If you prepare, you will stand, and if you don't prepare, you will be wasted, North Korea has always been a subordinate of the imperial court, and I have no intention of adding swords, but if Li Yi does more injustice, I have to punish him on behalf of God, and I can't panic when things come to the end." ”

"If, I say, the imperial court wants to send troops against North Korea, how should it fight?"

Zhu Qizhen's gaze swept over several people.

Wang Ji refused to let him take office, he always wanted the military department to overpower the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and he always had to take the lead in such a major strategic speech.

Wang Ji said: "Attacking North Korea is nothing more than a three-way approach. ”

"The first road, from the Phoenix to the Yalu River, along Uiju, Pyongyang, Seoul, all the way down, although this road has the Yalu River, but it can pass the army. Even if it is 100,000 horses, it can pass, which must be the main force. ”

"The second way is to attack Hoilyeong from Haixi, go down to Hamhung, or go directly south to the south of Korea, or attack Seoul. There are more mountain roads along this road, but it is just a partial teacher. ”

"The third road is that the sailors directly attack the Jianghua Road, since the opening of the sea, the merchants of this dynasty have traveled between Seoul and Tianjin countless times, and it can be said that they are familiar with the road."

Zhu Qizhen thought about it, and estimated that the Ming Dynasty would attack North Korea, and there would be only these three ways.

"What Scholar Wang said is very true." Meng Ying said: "As the minister knows, the Korean soldiers and horses are divided into five guards, imitating the governor's mansion of the five armies of the imperial court, which are the avant-garde. They are Zhong Zuowei, Zhong Wu Wei, Long Xiang Wei, Hu Ben Wei, and Yi Xing Wei. There is also the inner guard of Seoul, Yulinwei. Although it is claimed to be hundreds of thousands, it is actually only 100,000 horses, and only two of them have combat effectiveness, that is, the Chungmuwei in charge of the northwest of Korea, which has been guarded by the Seoul headquarters, and the rest of the guards are not much better than the guards in the south of the country. ”

"There may be a little sailor in the south, and it has a little combat effectiveness because of the reason for fighting the Japanese invaders, but compared with the sailors of our dynasty, it is too far behind."

"Of course, the minister thought that he only needed to dispatch one of the five armies in the capital, the two towns of Liaodong and Haixi, and then order the headquarters of Wang Yingxie, the chief officer of the maritime transport, to help in the battle, and at most add a little Shandong Weisuo army, it would be enough to break the enemy."

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "Then who is the handsome?" ”

As soon as Zhu Qizhen said this, the generals below asked for battle one after another, saying: "The last general is willing to go." ”

Zhu Qizhen's gaze swept over these people, and finally fell on Cao Yi.

Among Meng Ying, Shi Heng, Cao Yi, Guo Deng, and Yang Hong, Zhu Qizhen is more interested in Cao Yi, not that other generals can't fight, but Cao Yi has been guarding Liaodong for many years, and the generals in Liaodong are all his old subordinates, so they can cooperate more tacitly.
