"Use of force against Warat?"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at these ministers with a slight surprise in his eyes.

Times have really changed, and these civil servants used to be the most opposed to the use of force, but now they have become the most active.

However, Warat is indeed a thorn in the heart of Emperor Hongzhi now, and the vitality of the Tatar tribes is greatly damaged, and it will not pose any threat to the Ming Dynasty in a short period of time.

Even this year, several Tatar tribes have bowed to the Ming and are willing to join the Ming.

Of course, everyone knows that this is also a strategy of theirs, and when they can't beat the Central Plains Dynasty, they will choose to bow their heads wisely, and when their strength is strong, they will show their sharp teeth again.

This picture has been played out again and again in history.

In the final analysis, it still depends on the balance of power between the two sides, the power of the Central Plains Dynasty is strong, and the grassland people are naturally honest, but on the contrary, they have been repeatedly plundered by the south.

The Tatar tribes are not to be worried, but this Varat is a big trouble, especially if the Hoshute and Dzungar tribes of Varat once unify the Tatar tribes, their strength will inevitably skyrocket.

At that time, if it is within the unified Warat, a strong grassland will definitely not be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty, so as Liu Jian and Li Dongyang said, it is a good time to solve the grassland problem.

It's just that the use of force against the grassland is not comparable to the use of troops against the Japanese state.

The northern grasslands are vast and boundless, and the grassland people naturally have an advantage, they are a people on horseback, coming and going like the wind, and the people are fierce.

In contrast, the army of the Ming Dynasty is basically infantry, and the cavalry is very small, even if there is cavalry, they dare not face off with the grassland people on the grassland.

Using infantry against the cavalry of the steppe is tantamount to a fool's dream.

Even if the opponent can't beat you, you can run away at any time, and if you can't beat the infantry, you won't even have a place to escape.

This is the reason why the Central Plains Dynasty in history, although the overall strength is strong, suffers in this regard, in the final analysis, it is still this reason.

Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help frowning.

He also wanted to solve the problem of Warat, to solve the problem of the northern steppe.

But it is definitely not an easy task to solve the northern grasslands.

"Zhang Mao, what do you think?"

Emperor Hongzhi thought about it, looked at the British Duke Zhang Mao, and listened to the opinions of the generals and nobles, which was also very important, and it was also his current balance.

Civil officials and military generals balance each other and check and balance each other, so that he, the emperor, can live a better life.

"Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that now is a good time to solve Warat, once this opportunity is missed, Warat unifies the Tatar tribes, which will inevitably pose a huge threat to my Ming Dynasty."

Zhang Mao thought about it and nodded and said.

He was eager to recover the Western Regions and subdue the tribes of the northern steppes now, so that a steady stream of cotton and wool would come in, so that his textile mill would not worry about raw materials.

"You all think it's a good time to use troops against Warat, so I don't know how you think you should use troops against Warat?"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly, and then asked.

"This..."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel worried one by one.

With a mouth, it is easy to use soldiers, but how to use soldiers and how to defeat Warat is the key.

Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang, Liu Daxia, and Tong Zhong will not talk about them, they are all literati, and there is no need to say that they are all brilliant.

As for Zhang Mao and Zhu Fu, although the two of them are military generals and nobles, they have already lost the courage of their ancestors.

relied on Yang Yun, Wang Shouren and Liu Jin, and easily won by lying down.

"Your Majesty, the minister recommends Yang Yun, Liu Jin and Wang Shouren, the three of them can be literate and martial, and they will definitely be able to come up with a good strategy."

Zhang Mao thought about it and replied, he knew that he was not capable, and he was not a material for leading troops to fight, but the advantage of Zhang Mao was that he was more good at seeing people and was willing to recommend people.

So he also immediately recommended Yang Yun, Liu Jin and Wang Shouren, the last expedition to the Wa Kingdom, he relied on these three people to easily win the Wa Kingdom, and obtained huge benefits for the Ming Dynasty.

"Well, announce that the three of them will enter the palace~"

Emperor Hongzhi also nodded slightly after hearing this, and commanded Xiao Jing.

Soon, Xiao Jing asked Xiao Huangmen to hurry up and bring Liu Jin, Yang Yun and Wang Shouren into the palace.

Liu Jin, who was nursing at home, came to the Qianqing Palace with an unhappy face, and after seeing the many bigwigs present, he thought about it in his heart, and immediately guessed that he might be going to use force against Wara. fantasy

"Your Majesty~"

Liu Jin, Yang Yun, and Wang Shouren came to the Qianqing Palace as quickly as possible, and then the three of them also carefully sat on the edge of the corner.

In such a high-level meeting, all the bigwigs present, the three of them are still participating for the first time, Liu Jin is better, he was more or less familiar with these people before, but Yang Yun and Wang Shouren were a little nervous.

"Liu Jin, Yang Yun, and Wang Shouren, I called you here this year mainly to hear some of your views on Warat and the northern grasslands."

Seeing that the three of them had arrived, Emperor Hongzhi did not waste time and said directly.

In the past, Emperor Hongzhi and the others also discussed some things, but they never discussed anything.

Everyone knew very little about the things on the grassland, and they lacked military knowledge, so they didn't even have a clue about the use of troops in Warat.

Hearing Emperor Hongzhi's words, Wang Shouren and Yang Yun were slightly surprised, they didn't expect that they were going to use force against the north soon, and after being surprised, they were secretly happy.

His Majesty summoned himself over, this must be to appoint himself, this is an opportunity, he has been appreciated by the emperor, and he has the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so he can't be promoted.

More importantly, the use of troops in the northern grasslands is a good opportunity to seal the wolf, and for a pure military general like Yang Yun, this is the highest ideal and pursuit.

Liu Jin, Wang Shouren, and Yang Yun looked at each other, and quickly thought in their minds, and then Liu Jin was also the first to stand up.

Liu Jin came to the side of a huge world map, thought for a while, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, my lords, I don't know if you want to solve the problem of the northern grassland once and for all?" ”

"Or is it just to fight Warat and get peace for a short time?"

When Emperor Hongzhi, Zhang Mao, Liu Jian and others heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up, Liu Jin, a son of a master, it seems that there must be goods in his stomach.

"Liu Jin, you can talk about it, I want to hear it~"

Emperor Hongzhi moved his body slightly, and then leaned back on the chair, and the whole person was interested.

Looking at Liu Jin in front of him, just like when he met him for the first time on the Moon Tower, he was always able to publish something that made people shine.

Zhang Mao, Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang and others are the same, they all looked at each other, and they all looked like they were listening.

"Your Majesty, Princess~"

"If we just want to fight against Warat and get peace for a short time, it's very simple, just use troops against Warat now, and cavalry against cavalry."

Liu Jin thought for a while and said, then pointed to the area north of Daming on the map and said.

"The Warat has been scattered since the death of Yexian, and the Heshute tribe with the blood of the Golden Family is the nominal leader of the alliance, but does not have any real power."

"The most powerful is the Dzungar Ministry, which is also equally ambitious."

"But on the whole, their strength is far inferior to the Tatar tribes under the unification of the little prince before."

"This is the strength of the Tatar tribes, and the area they occupy is the best area in the northern region, this area is lush with water and grass, especially suitable for the grazing of nomads, and the Northern Yuan Dynasty started from the Troubled River Valley."

"This large area is the area under the rule of the Warat tribes, mainly including Qinghai, the Western Regions, and a large area north of the Tianshan Mountains."

"Although these areas are suitable for nomadic herding, the aquatic grasses are relatively inferior to those of the Tatar tribes, and the area is too vast, which is the main reason why the Varat will be divided into four parts."

Liu Jin looked at the map and gave a detailed introduction to the geographical distribution and form of Tatar and Warat.

After Liu Jin's introduction, everyone immediately became clear that although the area controlled by the Tatar tribes was not as good as that of the Warat tribes, the area where the Tatar tribes were located was the most abundant area of water and grass on the grassland (the area of Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia in later generations).

At the same time, through the explanation on the map, everyone also immediately realized one thing, that is, the closer to Daming, the most fertile place on the grassland.

This is out of Shanhaiguan, within a few hundred kilometers to the north, these areas are the most fertile areas in the grassland, and the areas with the most abundant aquatic grasses.

"This area~"

Liu Jin roughly delineated an area on the map, that is, the area where the Tatar tribes were located.

"This area is very close to our Daming, the nearest is only a few dozen miles away from the capital, this area is the most fertile area of the grassland, and it has always been the area that has always posed the greatest threat to our Central Plains."

"To the east of this area is Liaodong, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and in the middle is a large area of fertile black soil, which, if developed, is enough to accommodate tens of millions of people."

"To the north is the vast Siberian plain, which is very cold and difficult to survive."

"To the west is the area ruled by the Warat and Shuote and Dzungar departments, and to the south is our Daming."

"This is where our Daming capital is located, and this is Tianjin~"

Liu Jin pointed out each area on the map, mainly to highlight the importance of this area, for the Ming Dynasty, it is really very important.
