Chapter 8 Father and Son are of the same heart
No one is talking from beginning to end, the Ming Dynasty is not the Great Song Dynasty, even at the end of the Ming Dynasty, shouting cowardice is not welcome, which Zhu Houzhao also agrees. What if you coax it? Should you be destroyed or you destroyed, the Empress Dowager Cixi "measured the material resources of China and formed a friendship with the country", what was the result? It's better to simply have backbone.
A country and a nation must have the backbone and integrity of "rather die standing than live on their knees".
Of course, some people definitely don't, whether it is this era or future generations, for such people, Zhu Houzhao's approach is very simple, ignore it, if you have to jump out to show your sense of existence, then directly eliminate it, and eliminate it in both physical and spiritual senses.
After the early dynasty, Zhu Youzhu once again took his son back to his palace, and Zhu Houzhao also followed, obviously this is what the father has to say to himself.
Back to the back, the father and son sat down, the warm tea was served, Zhu Youzhu took a sip, raised his head to look at his son, and then said: "This time you go to the northwest, the father and the emperor will prepare it for you in the back, the court has accumulated some money and grain in recent years, and this battle should be enough." ”
Zhu Houzhao looked at his father in some surprise, he didn't expect his father to come to him to say this.
Seeing his son with a strange look, Zhu Youzhu immediately became angry, put the teacup on the table angrily, and then said to his son: "What do you see?" Three years ago, you trained in the army, and I knew that there was such a day. Do you think I don't want to fight? I'm just afraid that those people won't be able to win, since Tumubao, what is the Ming army? ”
"You are fighting in the northwest, although my father is very worried, knowing that if you go this time, my father will be worried, but now that the country has surplus wealth, and the Black Dragon Army is strong and strong, if you don't fight at this time, I also feel guilty in my heart."
"I also want to avenge the revenge of Tumu Fort!"
Although Zhu Youjiao's words were very light, Zhu Houzhao could hear the complexity in his father's heart, without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Houzhao said directly: "Father, rest assured, if your son goes to the northwest, he will definitely cleanse the grassland and ensure the stability of the northwest for ten years, and within ten years, no one in the northwest will dare to invade the territory of the Ming Dynasty." ”
Zhu Houzhao said this loudly, and Zhu Youzhu naturally heard the meaning of his son's words, but he still spoke: "Don't put yourself in a dangerous situation." ”
Nodding slightly, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Father, don't worry, Erchen will not be on the battlefield this time." ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left, and the courtiers who got the news were a little hesitant, so they left? How did you go so fast? We've just finished writing this piece! Besides, the 50,000 troops traveled, plus the auxiliary baggage, this is 80,000, is this grain and grass ready so quickly? It's not good to send troops so hastily!
Compared with the ministers who don't know the reason outside, the important ministers in the court know better, such as the three scholars in the cabinet.
Whether it is Liu Jian, a scholar of the first auxiliary university of the cabinet, Xie Qian, a scholar of the second auxiliary university of the cabinet, or Li Dongyang, a scholar of the cabinet, all three of them know that this battle is not unprepared at all, but has been prepared in a down-to-earth manner for three years. Since the crown prince's military training three years ago, His Majesty has begun to prepare for His Royal Highness the crown prince, although these courtiers are not very clear.
Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not know, but the three cabinet scholars knew it well, such as the granaries along the way.
From the capital to the northwest, there are a lot of Changping warehouses built in the cities along the road, and the role of Changping is known to everyone, which is a granary set up by the imperial court in order to regulate grain prices and store grain to prepare for famine to supply the government and the people. The main thing is to use the law of value to adjust the grain supply and give full play to the role of stabilizing the market value of grain.
When the market grain price was low, the appropriate increase in grain prices and the purchase of a large number of grain not only filled the warehouses where the imperial court stored grain, but also the warehouses in the border counties. When the price of grain in the market is high, the price should be appropriately lowered and sold. This measure not only prevents "grain cheapness hurting peasants" but also prevents "grain and expensive grain from hurting the people."
In the past few years, the imperial court had no money, let alone a new permanent position, and it was impossible to maintain the original regular liquidation.
But three years ago, when the imperial court began to have money, His Majesty paid attention to the Changping position, and built a lot of Changping positions, of which seventy percent were in the capital to the northwest line, and these granaries are now full. There was a large amount of grain and forage stored in it, which outsiders did not know, but the three of them knew it clearly.
This looks at you as military rations, why are you hoarding military rations from the capital to the northwest, not to fight in the northwest, but to fight in the northwest.
Thinking of His Royal Highness the Prince's victory in the northwest, as well as His Royal Highness the Prince's continuous military training, the answer is naturally coming out.
The three of them know what's going on, but it's impossible for the three of them to object, and it's impossible for them to say it, first of all, Your Majesty supports it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has won a big victory in the northwest, invested so much money, so much energy, His Majesty even let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rule the Beijing camp, can you oppose it? Except to disgust His Majesty, it is useless.
Not only Your Majesty, but also the crown prince, unless you don't want to be this official anymore, you are saying that the emperor is diligent and thrifty, and the prince is respectful and courteous.
The northwest won with 5,000 to 10,000, and it is difficult not to win this time, if you can really reproduce the old view of Taizong, then you are a famous minister of Zhongxing. A lot of this self-confidence also comes from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. First of all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a person, humble and respectful, and has a deep knowledge of martial arts.
In addition, it is naturally a war in the northwest, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is 5,000 against 10,000, almost annihilating the fire sieve, in this case, he will naturally have more confidence in His Royal Highness the Prince.
Zhu Houzhao is not worried about the affairs of the court, first of all, his father is not an incompetent emperor, and secondly, the three cabinet scholars promoted by his father, there is no ability to say, plus the most loyal father, with the three of them in charge, it is naturally worry-free. Zhu Houzhao's eyes this time were all focused on the battle in the northwest, not only to fight, but also to win beautifully.
From the moment he left the capital, Zhu Houzhao felt how many things his father had prepared for himself, and the granaries filled in various places, and the prepared grain and grass could be called at any time.
The army ate all the way, ate all the way back after the battle, and the rest could be transported to the front line, and these grains and grass were enough for Zhu Houzhao to fight in the northwest until winter, that is, he could fight for a whole year. Looking at the soldiers carrying grain and grass, Zhu Houzhao sighed with emotion in his heart, father and son are of the same heart, and they will be invincible.
