Chapter 17: The Decisive Factor
Before the Ming Dynasty, honorables, civil officials, and relatives stood on three legs and were the central force of the imperial court. They helped the emperor with government affairs and claimed to share the emperor's worries. In order to prevent foreign relatives from interfering in politics, Taizu set up an ancestral precept, and Liangdi (the crown princess) chose a virtuous and virtuous daughter with an inconspicuous family background, so there was a Ming Dynasty, and there was no such thing as a foreign relative interfering in politics and taking power.
And the emperor's left and right hands, civil officials and nobles, one literary and one martial, look at each other unpleasantly. It was thus used by the emperor.
Xungui's children have been reading military books since elementary school, and they have taken a different path from those who have read books, and few of them have written well and done good articles.
Daniel Zhang led the troops outside, and Lao Guan Yan asked a famous teacher to teach the little master, but the little master was stubborn, the soldier was not familiar with the books, the painting was not perfect, the four books and the five classics were even left ear in and out of the right ear, only riding and shooting barely got by. Zhang Ning retains the memory of the original owner, and with the ink in the stomach of the original owner, he is afraid that he will not be able to pass the exam. Even if you sharpen your gun three days in advance.
This is not the college entrance examination, and the knowledge he learned in school in his previous life is completely useless.
Finding guns and hands is the easiest and quickest way.
But Xungui looked down on the scholars, and thought they were treacherous and had a bad stomach. The scholars who are worthy of being on an equal footing with the nobles are those bigwigs in the center of the imperial court. These people also look down on the nobles, believing that they can only become nobles by relying on the shadow of their ancestors, and they are incapable of themselves. In addition, Xungui is a military general, and civil officials are two circles, and the two sides have no contact.
Zhang Ning has a headache, guns and hands are not easy to find, and good guns and hands are nowhere to be found.
Liu Niangui has a lot of ideas, or maybe there is a way.
"No, it's rare for anyone to hang out with them." Liu Nian shook his head without thinking about it.
"You have to take the eight-strand essay for proofreading, right?" Mr. Breaking the Topic has taught him, but Zhang Ning has learned a little bit and is far from being able to write well.
Liu Nian thought for a while and said, "Only the strategy is examined." ”
Policy is the view of current events, of a certain event at the moment.
Zhang Ning patted his head and said, "Look at my brain, how did I forget this." ”
Proofreading and examining the theory of policy is common knowledge for the children of Xungui, how could he forget? He switched between good luck and bad luck, so that he couldn't tell the reality, or did he have the emperor's personal permission, and he had the opportunity to see Youyou in the future, and he was overjoyed? You don't need to take the Bagu essay, and you don't have high requirements for literary style, then it's no problem.
"A-Ning, what's the topic?" A trace of longing flashed in Liu Nian's eyes, he couldn't be admitted if he didn't know the topic in advance, it was possible to know the topic in advance, it didn't matter if he didn't guess what he wanted, his father would, he had to be reminded by his father, it was not difficult to pass the exam.
Hearing that Zhang Ning was tied up in the county lord's mansion, Liu Nian did not refuse, and was bent on saving him, and this brother Zhang Ning handed it over. His voice was very low, and he said, "Tartar." ”
I believe Liu Nian will understand the meaning of these two words.
"Tartar?" Liu Nian's eyes kept rolling and said, "Is the news accurate?" ”
The northern side of the Varat sent several groups of envoys every year to pay tribute, and each time the temple sent officials to receive it, the relationship between the two sides was unprecedentedly relaxed.
Zhang Ning nodded in affirmation.
Liu Nian's face changed, and he said, "Ah Ning, will you be deceived?" ”
He thought about it, Zhang Ning was very likely to get news from the county lord of Anding, who often walked beside the empress dowager and the emperor, and was well-informed, and he might be able to guess the general direction. However, how could the county lord of Anding reveal such important news to A-Ning? As A-Ning said, the county lord invited him to drink tea and snacks?
"I'm not saying that the county lord lied to you, I mean that the county lord may be cheated by others." He added insincerely.
Zhang Ning smiled slightly and said, "It wasn't the county lord who said it." You can rest assured, the title is true. ”
A-Ning is confident. Where does his confidence come from? Liu Nian felt that this kind of Zhang Ning was very unfamiliar, Zhang Ning was so ruthless and brave in the past, he used his fists to solve everything, how could he have used stratagems, and how could he have Zhizhu in his hands?
Liu Nian was silent for a few breaths and said, "A-Ning, it's okay if you're fine, I'll go back." ”
Zhang Ning understood that he wanted to go back to the house to discuss with his father's sincere uncle, and he did not keep him. After Liu Nian left, he ate the rest of the dim sum, asked Qing'er to grind the ink, and tried to write a strategy.
Now only Zhang Ning knows that in eight years, there will be a battle between Daming and Warat. In this battle, the elite nobles of the Ming Dynasty were lost, and the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty went downhill from then on.
Zhu Qizhen's worries about Warat can be said to be very prescient, which may be the reason why he will drive the expedition in person. Tumubao was defeated and captured, and the descendants of the history books could not help but have a low evaluation of him, saying that he was confused by the eunuch Wang Zhen and hurriedly sent troops.
He did not bear the main responsibility for the defeat, but became an unknown emperor.
There is no record in the history books, and Zhang Ning does not know what the emperor did for the conquest of Warat, but he himself said, "The northern Tartars are restless, and I can't sleep at night." ”
It can be seen that in his heart, Warat is a great trouble that must be removed.
In this case, it is not surprising that the Warat Taishi took the opportunity to divide his troops into four ways to attack the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Qizhen drove the expedition in person. It's a pity that it was defeated, and it was defeated badly, and it was badly defeated.
It's a complete defeat.
Zhang Ning put down his pen and sighed, feeling heavy.
He crossed over here, should he do something to change the outcome of this battle?
As a modern college student, born and raised in the prosperous era, Zhang Ning also had the idea of being a hero. However, the heroes of the prosperous era are measured by the number of Grandpa Mao, and the ten richest people will be on the rich list every year. These people are heroes.
Zhang Ning once fantasized that his name was on this list, and after his name was a long string of numbers.
Since you've had heroic dreams, let's let them continue here. Zhang Ning laughed at himself, hoping to change the direction of history with his own strength, it is ridiculous, but he can do his best to avoid defeat, and it is always possible to avoid defeat.
Zhang Ning picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote on the paper.
Unconsciously, an hour passed, Zhang Ning put down the pen, turned his somewhat sore wrist, waited for the ink to dry, picked up the paper and looked at it.
When fighting a war with silver, the treasury must first be full. In order to fill the national treasury, it is imperative to develop the economy. Economic development, in addition to the development of industry and foreign trade, has proven feasible in modern times. However, now others are soft-spoken, and I am afraid that bringing up these things will cause trouble.
Secondly, armament. The soldiers' weapons, armor, and horses were one of the key factors in the decisive battle. The Varat is a horse people, the cavalry on the battlefield comes and goes, the soldiers ride on the horses, and even the weight of men and horses and the inertia brought by horse running, the infantry can not compete at all. To defeat, in addition to strategy and tactics, it is necessary to have equipped horses.
Again, the training of soldiers. This is also one of the key factors in the decisive victory.
In the end, the key to the real victory or defeat is the commander of the army. Let a sheep command a pack of wolves, is there still a reason to be undefeated?
