Chapter Eighty-Five: Your Majesty Requests for Decree
"Your Majesty is clever!"
As Emperor Chongzhen introduced the military situation, he sorted out the complex relationship between the Jiannu characters and the character of the commander, and everyone's hearts immediately brightened, and they were no longer black-eyed.
Hong Chengchou, a dog traitor who is good at power struggle, understood Emperor Chongzhen's intentions for the first time, and he also jumped out to compliment him for the first time.
"If you kill Yue Tuo's right-wing army, it will not only weaken Huang Taiji's strength, but also invisibly make the Dolgon brothers stronger. In this way, the balance is broken, and it is difficult for the enemy chief Taiji to suppress it. ”
"Not bad!
We can even add fuel to it, stirring up suspicion between them and making them dog-eat-dog. Anyway, for us, whether it succeeds or not, it's a matter of convenience. ”
Li Banghua, the right attendant of the military department, was also a good hand at the power struggle, and after listening to Hong Chengchou's words, he immediately put forward a feasible plan.
"When the time comes, the court can come forward and talk to Dolgon.
No matter what was discussed, as long as the news reached the ears of Huang Taiji, it was enough to make it difficult for Dolgon to defend himself...... And Huang Taiji will also take the opportunity to make trouble. ”
Immediately afterwards, Chen Qiyu began the specific layout.
Hearing their discussion, Emperor Chongzhen, who was standing in the middle, smiled with relief.
As for the understanding of the high-level of Jiannu, my ministers know too little.
However, as long as they understand it, they can make targeted deployments.
When it comes to usage, the Han people are the ancestors of Jiannu.
For example, now, I just talked about the relationship between Huang Taiji and Dolgon's opinion, and they immediately began to draw inferences from each other and start to lay out the next set.
In such a high-level court battle, Wenchen is the best at it.
is different from generals who kill people with knives, and the knife sees blood. Wenchen's soft knife kills, but invisibly.
But also the deadliest.
Because there are only a few military generals who kill people, but Wenchen is a large area.
"Yang Aiqing, the Ministry of War immediately set up a Military Intelligence Department to spy on the enemy situation of various countries for the Ministry of War to make decisions. Personnel can be selected from the scouts of various armies, or some factory guards can be selected.
The required taels of silver were all allocated to the military headquarters from the inner treasury. ”
Emperor Chongzhen interrupted Wenchen's discussion, and Yang Sichang, the secretary of the military department, commanded.
In his opinion, the matter of the use of the scheme can be discussed later. But the establishment of a military intelligence department is an urgent matter.
"Your Majesty! Shame on you! Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles.
The minister can't provide military information for His Majesty, but he wants His Majesty to mention something, because the minister is ineffective and has a negative grace! ”
Although the situation changed in a gratifying direction, Yang Sichang leaned over and bowed his head to admit his mistake.
As the secretary of the military department, no matter how the situation changes, he must admit this mistake.
It's just because these changes are not provided by him, but changed by His Majesty on his own.
As a subordinate, this is a dereliction of duty.
"It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice! The use of room is the most money-consuming thing, and the imperial court was unable to afford it in the past, so Aiqing cannot be blamed for this matter. ”
Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and directly explained the reason.
The intelligence is unknown, what is this about Yang Sichang?
If there is a mistake, it can only be said that the Ming court has no money.
Don't look at Emperor Chongzhen's fluttering words about the establishment of the Military Intelligence Department, but this means that the imperial court will spill a lot of white flowers and heavy silver.
The means of spying on the enemy of other countries are nothing more than bribing the officials of the enemy country and stealing intelligence, which requires a huge amount of silver.
In the past, with the financial situation of the Ming Dynasty, can you afford it?
I'm afraid it's hard to even bear the burden of intelligence officers, right?
What else are you talking about bribery and espionage?
"Your Majesty Xie is considerate and relieved, and the minister will definitely handle this matter well and provide decision-making for Your Majesty."
Emperor Chongzhen's intimate words moved Yang Sichang beyond measure, and he hurriedly expressed his determination.
"Aiqing is doing things, I can rest assured."
For Yang Sichang's ability and loyalty, Emperor Chongzhen still trusts him.
Speaking of which, the biggest criticism in Yang Sichang's life is that he hurt Lu Xiangsheng, but can he really be blamed for this?
Historically, due to incomplete intelligence, how to fight Jiannu was a big problem.
Yang Sichang, the secretary of the military department, didn't know how to fight, he only asked not to fight.
So does Lu Xiangsheng have his own combat policy?
Unfortunately, there is none.
Historical records record that he formulated a "night attack" battle plan, but this was only a tactical move within the scope of his power.
Due to Gao Qiqian's failure to cooperate and Guan Ning's army did not listen to the command, the expected results were not achieved.
So, Lu Xiangsheng asked for the division of troops in a fit of anger.
The battle situation was unfavorable, not only did he not ask for more troops, but instead proposed to divide the troops, which shows that Lu Xiangsheng did not have any combat policy.
And the question of how to fight after the division of troops is estimated to be one step at a time, and finally fell into the ambush of Jiannu and martyred the country.
It can be seen from here that Lao Lu's personality is very impulsive!
What kind of anger is fighting with a dead eunuch?
At this time, it is necessary to use thunderous means to kill a few disobedient generals of the Guanning Army, which is the most correct way.
Anyway, Lao Lu is impulsive, but what about Yang Sichang?
For the sake of the temporary unity of the Ming army, no one should be offended, and he actually agreed to divide the troops.
The Xuan army returned to Lu Xiangsheng, and the Guanning army returned to Gao Qidive, everyone is in charge of everyone, see what else you are arguing about.
But after all, he knew the danger of dividing his troops, so he took remedial measures.
He ordered Lu Xiangsheng that if Jiannu has been near the capital, you will find a chance to fight, and Eunuch Gao will cooperate with you to fight.
Yang Sichang's abacus is that near the capital, it is not a big problem whether he can win or not.
If Jiannu goes south, you have to cooperate with the high eunuch and don't go into battle easily.
It can be said that Yang Sichang sensed that Jiannu might go south.
In the absence of intelligence support at that time, it was rare to rely on analysis and prediction alone.
If we have to say that Yang Sichang made a mistake, it is that from the beginning to the end, the military department headed by him has not come up with a clear operational policy and campaign plan, and as defense minister and chief of the general staff, his responsibility cannot be shirked.
But Lu Xiangsheng's plan for dividing troops is also the most effective plan.
It can be said that everyone is at fault, the eldest brother does not talk about the second brother, and the board cannot be hit on a person, this is the understanding of Emperor Chongzhen.
Of course, all of this is a tragedy caused by unclear intelligence.
Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles.
But if you don't know yourself and don't know the other, you will naturally be defeated in a hundred battles.
"Your Majesty would like to give an order?"
At this time, Lu Xiangsheng pleaded with Emperor Chongzhen with a solemn face.
He can see that His Majesty has a furrow in his chest, and he is by no means blindly commanding.
Referring to His Majesty's previous words, Lu Xiangsheng realized how wrong the summary of the prisoners they had formulated was.
His Majesty said that it was not in line with my wishes, but it still left the monarch and the courtiers, and said it lightly.
But......
The enemy situation is unknown, how do you ask the generals to make a battle plan?
"Zhuqing listens to the order!"
King Lu Yan asked for an order, and Emperor Chongzhen was not polite, and issued an order directly.
