Chapter 025: Why Don't You Go?

To say that Zhu Yijun is afraid of Mongolia, it is really wronged him, he is not afraid of the Mongolians at all.

At present, Mongolia is a divided situation, and Tumut's side, even if he is just calm, it is estimated that he should be able to continue the current situation. On Chahar's side, just by looking at the unsuccessful "joint attack on Ningqian" of Tumen last year, he knew how much threat the other party could not pose to Daming.

However, all this refers to the fact that the Ming Dynasty did not take the initiative to attack, guarding within the Great Wall, relying on the prestige of Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang, it could completely deter Chahar and the surrounding Mongolian tribes; Relying on the shadow of the high arch back then, it is also possible to use the benefits to envelop Tumut and the surrounding Mongolian tribes.

But that's all there is to it, let him now send troops out of the fortress to fight the Mongols on the steppe, he lacks confidence.

Although so many years have passed since the civil engineering change, the harm caused by that incident still affects the Ming Dynasty. And the current Ming Dynasty, in terms of military strength and national strength, is it really comparable to the early days of Yingzong? I'm afraid it's a little hard to say.

Not to mention anything else, the Beijing camp back then was able to pull out more than 200,000 elite divisions to fight in Saibei, and now the Beijing camp is ...... I still remember that Jiajing ordered the Beijing camp to prepare for the expedition, and the entire Yanjing City cried.

Of course, it is estimated that it is difficult to "cry into a piece" now, because there are only a few soldiers who can be sent out to fight in the Beijing camp, and this is only necessary to look at last year's big parade to know that the Beijing camp was selected and selected, and the last army to be read was only more than 10,000 people.

Although in Zhu Yijun's impression, the performance of more than 10,000 people is still good, but he is not stupid, he can obviously see that Gao Pragmatic looked at this group of elite people in Beijing, as if he was looking at a group of sheep, and he was expressionless at all.

If it is really elite, pragmatism will definitely not be this attitude.

Zhu Yijun knew that he didn't understand military affairs, but Gao Pragmatic's record made him feel that Gao Pragmatic understood military affairs - the Battle of Annan was fought the same as Zhang Fu back then, and it was completely sweeping thousands of armies like a sweep! This is naturally understandable about military affairs, there is no doubt about it.

Therefore, since Gao Pragmatic is not optimistic about Jingying, Zhu Yijun is naturally not very confident. At this point, he was greatly influenced by his father Emperor Longqing - it doesn't matter if I don't understand it myself, just trust the auxiliary ministers around me.

Of course, Gao Pragmatic is not an auxiliary minister, but in Zhu Yijun's mind, this is an auxiliary minister, since the time of his father, he has been trained as an auxiliary minister.

Of course, maybe the Beijing battalion doesn't need to be dispatched at all, maybe the border army can carry it. Now the north side of the Beijing division is from east to west, and all the way is Li Chengliang in Liaodong, Qi Jiguang in Jizhen, Ma Jin in Xuanfu, and Guo Hu in Shanxi, all of whom are not easy to mess with. Even the youngest Ma Jin has been in the army for more than 20 years, not to mention that he has experienced a hundred battles, and dozens of battles are estimated to be indispensable.

And the generals of the Ming Dynasty can be "in office", and the battle record must be more victories and fewer defeats, because the ones with many defeats have long been made down by civilian officials - you are generals, and you are not nobles, so it is so useful to fight, if you can't fight, will you be raised to eat dry rice?

However, if you meddle in the affairs of Tumut, you will not only have to defend it, but you will have to go out of the army.

This is not easy to do, although Daming has been doing business with me since he started, and the number of horses he buys is much larger than before, but he is not stupid, he mainly sells geldings, and he will not sell them to Daming Liang Breeding Horses stupidly, and the good breeding horses are all secretly bought back by Jinghua.

Besides, Daming can't raise too much when he buys it back, one is that the pasture is not enough, and the other is that he can't afford it. These two things complement each other, because there is not enough pasture to afford - not enough pasture means to buy forage and concentrate, and the cost of raising 10,000 cavalry is almost more than 50,000 infantry.

Therefore, the current cavalry of the Ming Dynasty has not exceeded 60,000 in the whole country, of which 40,000 are estimated to be truly capable of fighting.

What's worse is that Li Chengliang's side accounted for more than half of the 40,000 cavalry. In fact, in the early years, when Ma Fang was not yet a leader, the cavalry of the three towns of Xuanda Shanxi was not less than that of Liaodong, but later Xuanda had no war, and the cavalry was reduced in ten years.

So, take the infantry out of the plug? Don't dream, don't say anything else, just one grain problem can kill people.

This is also why Zhu Yijun thinks that the pragmatic plan is better, because according to the pragmatic plan, it is equivalent to the Ming secretly controlling the high-level Tumut, and even if the Ming Dynasty sends infantry to Mongolia, at least the grain and grass problem will be easier to solve - Tumut has also begun to grow food because of the sinicization over the years, although it is not enough to feed themselves, but after all, they do not eat rice and wheat for a living, once it is necessary, these rice and wheat can be temporarily let the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty eat first, emergency headquarters.

Zhu Yijun thought about it, and felt that the uncertain factors in this matter were too great, and hesitated: "Xiao Daheng had a good reputation for filial piety before, but he didn't have a major event, and let him do it, I really don't feel at ease." ”

Xiao Daheng is the current governor of Xuanfu, and he is the closest feudal official to Tumut. He was a Jinshi in Jiajing for forty-one years, and he was first awarded the Yuci Zhi County, and he was tired of moving to Langzhong, and asked for adoption because of his mother's letter. Before he got home, he heard that his mother was sick and died. After the end of the funeral, he was reinstated, and successively served as a political envoy and an inspector. In the eighth year of Wanli, he was appointed governor of Ningxia, and in the ninth year of Wanli, he was reappointed as the governor of Xuanfu.

As Zhu Yijun said, this person has a reputation for filial piety, but he has not experienced any major events, and it is not easy to judge how well he can do things.

Gao pragmatic asked, "How is Zheng Luo, the governor of Xuanda?" ”

Zhu Yijun sighed and said, "What's the difference between him and Xiao Tycoon?" ”

Zheng Luo, the word Yuxiu, the number Fan Xi. A native of Suicheng, Ansu County, Baoding Prefecture, Gao Pragmatic returned to Xinzheng for the exam that year, and when he passed through Ansu County, he used to live in his other courtyard, and he was assassinated that time......

Zheng Luo was a 35-year-old Jinshi of Jiajing, in addition to being awarded the Dengzhou magistrate, reviewing the case of gathering a crowd to steal mines, correcting the error of the original verdict, and more than 100 innocent people were released; Investigation and correction has been sentenced to Sun Hua's robbery case, so that the grievances Zhaoxue, the real murderer was arrested, won the hearts of the people, and was appointed by Jiajing as the imperial history, the main picket.

In the forty-first year of Jiajing, Zheng Luo was ordered to investigate and deal with Yan Maoqing and other corruption cases, and found that Yan Song was the culprit, but Jiajing beheaded Yan Maoqing, Zheng Luo was afraid that the imperial court would avoid the important and take it lightly, and changed Yan Maoqing's capital crime to dismissal and border defense, which shocked the whole dynasty, and both civil and military servants.

In the forty-third year of Jiajing, he served as the supervisor of the Sichuan Township Examination in the capacity of patrolling Sichuan and supervising the imperial history. In the second year of Wanli, he was transferred to the right of the imperial history and the right servant of the military department. In the seventh year of Wanli, he was reappointed as the governor of Xuanda.

This is actually a little stronger than Xiao Tycoon, at least there were still awesome deeds back then, although it has nothing to do with military affairs, but it has something to do with government affairs, at least it can be seen that this person is more responsible.

Of course, the more critical point is that he is the person used by Wang Chonggu, and he belongs to the same school as Gao Pragmatic.

But now the emperor feels that he may not be able to preside over such a big matter, so it will be difficult.

Gao pragmatic thought for a while, and he didn't have any good ideas, the key is that this matter must be handled by someone who is good at making decisions on the spot, and he must have full power.

Zhu Yijun suddenly said, "Why don't you go?" ”
