Chapter 134: Zhang Fu's Meaning

Since Zhu Qizhen is ready to fight, he is ready to let go of the hands and feet of the front-line generals.

Is he satisfied with Cheng Guogong? No, satisfied. Are you satisfied with all the nine-sided generals? Not necessarily.

But now, Zhu Qizhen only has these cards in his hand, and no matter how bad it is, it is impossible to change the cards.

What cards are in the hand is a problem, how to play a bad deck of cards, is another problem.

Someone can win a bad hand, and someone can beat a good hand.

At this moment, Zhu Qizhen forgot how bad all the cards in his hand were, and only looked at their benefits, what corruption and smuggling, encroachment on the guard's tuntian, and even the lawlessness of his children. Zhu Qizhen treated himself as blind and didn't know anything.

Sun Tzu's Art of War has five victories.

Those who know what they can fight and those who can't win win; The one who knows the few wins; The one who wants the same wins; Treat those who are not safe to win; The one who can but does not win wins.

The first four victories were all before the battle.

Zhu Qizhen felt that he had done everything he could, and now there was no point in emphasizing it. It can even hurt the stable environment in the military. There was only one last thing he could do.

Delegating power to the greatest extent to give the Chengguo Gong War command and decision-making power.

Zhu Qizhen even put the decision to make peace with the tile spur in the hands of Chengguo Gong.

The implication is that as long as Cheng Guogong feels that he can fight and can win, he can fight.

Even if there are a lot of sequelae of victory in the future, Zhu Qizhen wants to win, after all, after victory, all he will face is the sequelae.

But the loser faces only worse.

Cheng Guogong never expected that Zhu Qizhen would give him so much power.

The five words of the general seem to be mediocre, but not everyone can hang it, you must know that this is Xu Da's name, when Xu Da went out to conquer the grassland, it was the general of the conquest.

100,000 cavalry, almost the largest elite cavalry that the Ming Dynasty can mobilize, although there are still cavalry in Liaodong, Gansu, and Shaanxi, it is difficult to transfer them back.

After this time, after the Beijing camp, there were probably only thousands of cavalry among the imperial horse guards.

The cavalry has always been the elite of the Ming army, and it is impossible for non-elite to be the horse army.

It is not a national army, but the 100,000 army is far better than the army led by Meng Ying to conquer the south.

"Obey." Cheng Guogong said: "Let's go, I will break the army of tiles and solve His Majesty's worries." ”

From the time the order is given to the dispatch of troops, it will take some time. As soon as Cheng Guogong arrived at home, he received the holy decree. All kinds of rewards in the palace, famous swords and swords, armor and horses, this is used by military generals, as for silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry, it is countless, almost carrying the objects rewarded in the palace, almost from the palace gate to the Chengguo Mansion

on, end to end in an endless stream.

The pearl of Hepu, the weaving of the south of the Yangtze River, the coral of the South China Sea, and the treasure jade of Hetian. The jade of Myanmar, the treasury in the palace, is filled into the inner room of the national government.

For a time, the world was shocked, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all felt that the Son of Heaven treated Chengguo as the Duke of Chengguo as much as Emperor Taizu treated King Zhongshan before.

As for the sons and daughters of Chengguo Gong, they were expensive for a while, and among the guards of the Qianqing Palace in Zhu Qizhen, there were more than a dozen children in Cheng Guogong's family.

There are also many important positions, among which Zhu Yi, the prince of Chengguo, served as the commander of the guards of the Qianqing Palace.

In the eyes of many people, this is the limelight of the Chengguo Gongmen to replace the British Gongyi to become the first general of the Ming Dynasty.

Just when the Duke of Chengguo was full of joy, the British Duke Zhang Fu was dressed in green clothes, did not wait for his entourage, and entered through the back door.

Cheng Guogong immediately came to greet the British Duke and said, "Brother, you are here today, why don't you go to the front gate?" The younger brother also greeted the elder brother well. ”

The British Duke said: "No need, you are outside the gate of the country, and the carriages and horses can be discharged several miles away, I am afraid that I will not be able to enter your door until next year." ”

When Cheng Guogong heard this, his face lit up, and he said: "Your Majesty is gracious, and it is difficult for courtiers to shirk." ”

Zhang Fu sneered and said: "King Dongping went early, you call me brother, I also have to bear the responsibility of brother, if you have such a mentality, you don't have to fight, I'm afraid that you won't come back, when you die, it will be small, and the country will be a big thing." ”

Cheng Guogong suddenly felt that Zhang Fu poured a basin of cold water on his head, and said, "Brother, it's alarmist." ”

Zhang Fu said: "Do you remember Qiu Fu, the Duke of Qiguo? ”

Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Qiu Fu, the Duke of Qi Kingdom, how could he not know that speaking of which, he still wants to call Uncle Qiu is a rare general among the nobles of Jing Nan. It's just that he died in Mobei, and his descendants were imprisoned. Exiled to Hainan, he has not yet returned.

When he set out on the expedition, Zhang Fu mentioned this person, which made Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, inevitably feel a little unlucky.

Zhang Fu said: "Do you think your closeness to Jinshang is comparable to Emperor Taizong and Duke Qi?" ”

Zhu Yong shook his head and said, "Naturally, it's not as good." ”

Not to mention what happened after Qiu Fu, in the Battle of Jingnan, Qiu Fu was Emperor Taizong's right-hand man, who made great contributions, and can even be said to be the head of Jingnan.

Of course, if Zhang Yu is still alive, this head must be Zhang Yu's.

Emperor Taizong is a person who loves his children and hates the nine clans. While he slaughtered the Jianwen Group, he also had a very loving side for the noble children of Jing Nanxun.

For Zhang Fu, Zhu Yong was cultivated by Emperor Taizong, such as the children of the family.

Even if there was no preference of Emperor Taizong, Zhu Qizhen was not tied

The Jing Nan Xun Gui Group.

But even if Emperor Taizong and Qiu Fu had such a friendship, after Qiu Fu's death, Qiu Fu's family was still exiled to Hainan, and they could not return in case of pardon, and the only thing Emperor Taizong could do was to save the lives of Qiu Fu's family.

Zhang Fu said: "How is Your Majesty to Wang Zhen? It's not that you don't know, do you think that Your Majesty has poured out all his inner treasury and entrusted him with great power, if this battle is defeated, what will happen to Chengguo Gongmen. ”

Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong's face suddenly stiffened, and it took him a while before he recovered, saluted Zhang Fu, and said, "Thank you brother for reminding me, I was almost lost in this glory and wealth." In today's battle, I also ask my brother for guidance. ”

Zhu Yong knew very well that his ability was not comparable to Zhang Fu.

Zhang Fu coughed twice and said, "If you can fight this battle, you won't fight." ”

Cheng Guogong was a little stunned for a while, and said, "Big brother, you didn't say that in front of Your Majesty. ”

Zhang Fu said: "Your Majesty is still young, as an auxiliary minister, I have to take care of some, before Your Majesty was rash, I naturally want to tell him that he can't, to frustrate his heart, and now that the war is imminent, I naturally want to tell him to be able to strengthen his will." Otherwise, the two countries have not yet exchanged soldiers, and His Majesty's heart will be shaken first, won't he lose half of it? ”

If Zhu Qizhen knew Zhang Fu's words, he would be furious. It is impossible to understand Zhang Fu's heart of serving the country and the people. I just felt that Zhang Fu was fooling him.

But from Zhang Fu's point of view, it is really for the good of the country.

In Zhang Fu's view, maintaining the normal operation of the center during the war is what he must do and his obligation. As long as this can be done, even with some means, it is not necessarily impossible.

The emperor is not such an easy person to persuade, and there are some things that Zhang Fu is not good to tell Zhu Qizhen all. This method is easy to use, just use it.

Cheng Guogong said: "Big brother, do you think I might as well be first?" ”

Zhang Fu said: "It's not that I think you might as well be first, but what do you think you think is better than first?" First after the death of Tuhuan, the inner town of Dehuan did not spend, the east and the west to fight, and pushed the tile spur to today, even if it is not enough to revive Huan, even if this person is on my face, I don't dare to take it lightly, Mahamu is a defeated man, and he really has a good grandson. ”

"If you have contempt, don't go at all, I'll go for you, although I'm old, I can ride a horse and drive a bow."

Seeing that Zhang Fu said so cautiously, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, immediately said: "Brother is angry, I know that I am wrong." ”

Zhang Fu said: "I told you not to underestimate the enemy, but I didn't let you be arrogant, although the tile spur iron horse is powerful, but how many can there be, in addition to the tile spur headquarters, whether it is Uliangha, or the Mongolian tribes, they are all rabble, and the Ming iron horse is enough to fight three with one enemy." People make you have to stop going to war, not to go to war, not because they think you can't fight, but because there is something else going on. ”
