Chapter 63: Zhang Fu's Record That No One Can Break

"Your Majesty, among the generals of the next generation of the Ming Dynasty, there are none other than Fang Jin, Yang Xin, Wu Jin, Fan Guang, Shi Biao, Mao Rui, Wang Yue, Meng Jun and a few others."

"All other ministries are competent, and with Yang Xin's ability, even if there is a change, it will not let him affect Xuanda."

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and stopped asking this.

The world has metabolism, and the past and the present have come and gone.

There is no way around it.

From the time when he first ascended the throne, the Duke of Cheng Guo and the Duke of Britain adhered to the military, to Meng Ying came to power, and now Yang Hong, Shi Heng, and Guo Deng constitute the core of military leadership. But Yang Hong's age is not too young.

It is estimated that in a few years, it will also be old.

Yang Hong is the most sophisticated and sleek of the three.

Just as Zhu Qizhen will not let the cabinet serve for a long time, Yang Hong will definitely not occupy the position of second assistant for a long time. Yang Hong naturally knew when to retreat. After Meng Ying retired, she also arranged the affairs of the Meng family properly, otherwise how could Meng Jun be regarded as a rising star by Guo Deng.

Don't look at the names of some people listed together, but when you really talk about it, the difference between them is huge.

And the same is true for Yang Hong.

Yang Hong's son Yang Jun was of course extremely unscrupulous, but in the end, because Yang Hong killed his relatives in righteousness, he asked for execution to correct military law.

But Yang Hong's other sons and nephews are not all losers, his son Yang Jie, I don't dare to say how good he is, but he is not ashamed, as for his nephew Yang Xin, Yang Neng and several others, they can stand alone.

Now they are all suppressed.

Without him, Yang Hong reigned. None of his sons and nephews could be generals in the main directions. If it weren't for Yang Xin's reputation as one of the top three in the first realm of martial arts. Yang Xin will not have the position of guarding Daning.

So Yang Hong was willing to retreat in his heart.

After all, sometimes stepping back doesn't mean there is no power. As long as Yang Hong lived, the emperor must also consult him on certain military matters.

This is the so-called patriarchal minister.

And the person who replaced Yang Hong was Guo Deng.

Guo Deng said that he was Yang Hong's generation, but Guo Deng was ten years younger than Yang Hong, and the two had cooperated many times, with full tacit understanding, and they were old partners.

Zhu Qizhen already had a plan in his heart, and it was all under his control.

It is estimated that when Yang Xin comes up in his life, the generals of the martial arts system in the army can truly control the military and political affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qizhen continued to ask: "Do you know what is the reason why I summoned you back to Beijing this time?" ”

Guo Deng said: "The minister took the liberty of guessing, it should be Annan's business. ”

"Yes." Zhu Qizhen said: "Erpu small country, repeatedly violated the prestige of the imperial court, do not deal with it, why did the Ming Dynasty reign in the four seas, the battle at the beginning of this year, the use of troops in a hurry, as for this defeat, the minister every Geng, today summoned Qing, is to entrust Qing with this matter, Qing can not make the king of Dingxing County in front of the United States." ”

The king of Dingxing County is also Zhang Fu's posthumous gift. It seems that it has become a common practice that all the generals who can enter the cabinet have the title of the prince of the country, and after their death, they will be posthumously gifted by the king of the county.

Zhang Fu is the king of Dingxing County, and Meng Ying is the king of Zhending County. After Yang Hong goes, it will probably be the king of Changping and the like.

After Guo Deng listened, he only felt his heart sink.

He had guessed the reason. I did my homework beforehand, but it was precisely because I did my homework that I knew that Zhang Fu's record could not be replicated.

The reason why Zhang Fu was able to destroy a country in July was actually directly related to the civil strife in Annam, as if the Ming Dynasty attacked Korea.

If it weren't for the turmoil in the Korean royal family and Li Yao's killing of his nephew, where would it be so easy for the imperial court to directly hit the city of Seoul. At that time, the Hu clan of Annan acted on behalf of Chen, and he did extremely excessively, and there were many dissatisfied forces inside and outside. The people of Annam thought that the Ming Dynasty had come to set things right.

Therefore, it is almost like eating scoop syrup to welcome the king.

And Zhang Fuzhi's army is also very strict, the army did not commit any crimes in the autumn, and it used soldiers like gods, and the armament of the Ming army was above Annam, so it had this almost god-like record.

It was only Emperor Taizong who annexed Annan as a crossover and made a big mistake in Annam's politics, which led to Annan's continuous rebellion.

There was a constant war for the next twenty years.

But now, times have changed.

Annan today is not the same as Annan at that time.

First of all, the internal affairs, the then Annan Hu clan generation Chen, perverse, internal and external grievances, and now Annan, the Li family occupies the position of the lord of the country, with three generations, it can be said that the country is dangerous and the people are attached.

The second is the military, at that time Annan's armaments were not repaired, and even more war elephants were used, and the number of firearms was insufficient, and today's Annan is above the cavalry, which is naturally a big weakness, but in the firearms, it is estimated that only the firearms of the Beijing camp in the Ming army can beat him.

In the war forty years ago, Annan and the Ming Dynasty fought for many years, learning from each other, and the Ming also learned several firearms with strong waterproof ability from the hands of the Annan people, and Annan also learned a lot from the Ming side.

It can even be understood in this way that the Annan army is almost a monkey version of the Ming army.

Economically, Annan is certainly inferior to the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty wants to fight Annan, it is also an expedition of laborers, with the number of Tusi in Guangxi, it can't help much at all, a large number of materials have to be transported from Guangdong and Hunan, Annan is small, but the consumption of the Ming Dynasty is large.

The most important thing is Annan's attitude towards the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, the people of Annam welcomed the Ming army, but now the Annam people have formed a mortal enmity with the Ming Dynasty in the previous war.

The British Gong Zhang Fu was sad that the Ming Dynasty died in the old department of Annam, it was not tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, and in the end, there were many troops that had not been withdrawn, which were detained by the Annamite people, and the imperial court sent people to ask for it, Li Li said no?

Not really? All became slaves of Annanda's official eunuchs.

As for the hatred of the Annan people towards the Ming Dynasty, there is definitely a lot.

If it is said that when Zhang Fu led the team to enter Annan, it was good for a few autumns without any crimes, but then there was a chaotic battle, and they were all red-eyed, and there was no need to say how many killings there were.

The military discipline of the ancient army has always been like this, there is a strong commander to suppress it, and the military discipline can be maintained, if not, it will relapse into the old ways.

The enmity between the two sides can be called a sea of blood.

Forty years is a long time, long enough that many parties have died, and forty years is also a short time, and the people who were born at that time were a group of people who adhered to the national politics of Annan.

Annan's attitude towards the Ming Dynasty was one of obedience and disobedience.

The Ming Dynasty used troops against Annan, and Annan didn't even have to maintain his dignity in face, just think about it, he will definitely not give in.

Guo Deng is so confident that his ability is above Zhang Fu back then, and in the face of this situation, it is impossible to achieve the destruction of a country in July. What's more, Guo Deng doesn't think that his ability can be above Zhang Fu.

It can only be possible not to let Zhang Fu specialize in the front.

Maybe in the destruction of other countries, the record of July can still be broken, but the destruction of Annan in July, this record is estimated to be the highest in history.

Guo Deng's face was embarrassed, and he said: "Your Majesty, Annan is a small country, and it is not a temporary force to destroy Annan for a long time. ”

Zhu Qizhen smiled lightly and said, "I know, am I the kind of person who doesn't know the severity?" I never interfere with how the front line is fought, I just want a result. In the battle of Annam, I will not restrain you, you will fight for a few years if you say you will fight, you will fight for as long as you say, and you will give as many men and horses as you want. But you have to give me an explanation. ”

Now Zhu Qizhen is also a lot more confident.

It is true that in today's flood, most of the world is soaked in water, the number of disaster relief personnel exceeds 10 million, and the Taicang granary is almost empty, but it does not hinder Zhu Qizhen's generosity.

This is not that Zhu Qizhen did not count in his heart, on the contrary, he had a very obvious grasp of Daming's finances in his heart.

He has worked finance for many years, which has greatly increased the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, especially the measurement of land, and he will find out how many hidden fields he does not know.

In the 23rd year of Hongwu, the tax quota was set in various places, and the Ming Dynasty paid a total of more than 23 million stones every year. But Zhu Qizhen estimated that he had eliminated dozens of guards, as well as the hidden fields that Qingzhang came out of. At least it is estimated that the annual income of Daming should be more than 40 million stone per year.

In fact, this number is not the limit, you must know that in the early years of Yongle, the granular grain of the Tuntian of the Daming Wei was a large income that went hand in hand with the field endowment, and it was also above 20 million or even 30 million stones, that is to say, now relying on the field tax alone, the income in the orthodox years is not as good as in the Hongwu period.
