Xie Qian and Xiong Xiu's military policies are mainly defensive, the difference between the two is that Xiong Xiu has a more thorough understanding of the topography of the mountains and rivers in the capital and the distribution of troops than Xie Qian, which is the difference between professional and amateur.

Liu Jian looked at Zhu Houzhao's military policy and found that this was a military policy focusing on attack, which could be said to be "another way".

"Young Master Liu, you ......"

Xie Qian was very curious about what Zhu Houzhao wrote in his questioning...... Not to mention, there is a lot of space, and you can see that it is a long story at a glance, although the font is not neat, and there are many modifications in the middle, but it is enough to prove that the prince is attentive.

Liu Jian frowned, obviously what Zhu Houzhao mentioned caused him to think.

Li Dongyang, Zhang Mao and others don't care about what is written on the prince's military policy, in their opinion, no matter how knowledgeable the prince is, he can't reach Xiong Xiu, the squire of the military department, otherwise Xiong Xiu still has the face to work in the position of the second person in the military department?

After Liu Jian read it, he shook his head slightly: "There are many ideas in the prince's question, and the old minister can't accept it!" ”

Don't say it's bad, but say it's unacceptable, which shows that what Zhu Houzhao wrote is not completely nonsense. Zhu Houzhao protested dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Liu, you can't say it well, you have to give a reason, right?" The capital is not as big as imagined, it has been under martial law for two or three months in a row, and there will be problems with the grain and grass materials in the city to support it for a few more months at most, and the city walls in the south and east of the city are old, and the imperial court has intended to expand the southern city, but it has been delayed for no reason, and now the Tartars have invaded the territory, if they attack one of them continuously, the city wall will be overwhelmed, and what if it collapses? ”

Zhu Houzhao is already a blockbuster if he doesn't make a sound, and everyone thought he was an ignorant naughty boy before, and he wouldn't have any good insights. As a result, the first sentence made everyone impressed.

The city wall in the south and east of the city is old and urgently needs to be repaired has always been a big problem faced by the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry, before the Shuntian Mansion had asked for this matter, the Ministry of Industry also proposed to the imperial court to strengthen the city wall, as a result, the imperial court has spent too much in recent years, and the Hongzhi Emperor has been preparing to send troops outside the fortress, creating a good external environment for his son to ascend the throne, so that the imperial court is tightened. In addition, the previous war had been carried out at the border pass, and it was not expected that the capital would be threatened, so the construction of the city wall was put aside.

The recital of building and reinforcing the city wall of the capital has not been issued until now, indicating that the emperor is not unintentional, but he has not freed his hands for the time being, or he has not found the source of this special fund.

Li Dongyang looked at Xie Qian, his eyes seemed to say, Yu Qiao, did you tell the prince about this?

Obviously, there were no people from the Ministry of Household and Ministry of Industry at the scene, and the ministers did not know anything about this matter, and no one would pay attention to such a "trivial matter" as the reinforcement of the capital city wall.

Liu Jian's face was not good-looking, and the fact that the prince, who had always been despised, could have this insight made him a little embarrassed, and said at the moment: "His Royal Highness the Prince, fighting with Di Yi's soldiers and horses, has always been defense-oriented, how can you take the initiative to fight with it?" ”

Zhu Houzhao shouted: "Who said no? My Ming cavalry is not worse than the previous dynasties, think of my Taizu, Emperor Taizong, once sent troops to the grassland, and the Mengyuan remnants were defeated and retreated. ”

"Counting forward, the Tang Dynasty had Li Jing, Li Ji and others who destroyed Tuguhun, Goguryeo, and the Northern Turks, and further on, there were so many generals in history, and there were even Han Dynasty generals Wei Qing and Huo Quai, who took the initiative to fight with Hu Lu, and their achievements were brilliant through the ages, why can't they now?"

Zhu Houzhao learned to debate, and when he used to talk to people, it was a trick to make full use of his status as a prince to mess around. But this time he spoke very coherently and logically, with a strong momentum in his words, which pierced people's hearts, at least Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others heard that there was nothing wrong with Zhu Houzhao's words, but they held different positions and could not agree.

Xie Qian came out and said peace: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the world has changed over time, and it cannot be generalized. This time I sent troops, but because the battle situation took a sharp turn for the worse, it eventually caused this disaster! ”

"Is it wrong to send troops? The key is to see who is the leader of the troops! If it was a talented man like Mr. Shen who led the troops well, it would be my Daming who would win, but you sent Liu Shangshu to go, and Liu Shangshu was good at defense, and the court did not make the best use of it, so there was such a reversal. The palace only used the most reasonable means to fight with the Tatars, and there was no head-to-head confrontation, so how could it hold the capital? ”

Zhu Houzhao talked eloquently, completely forgetting that he was a thirteen-year-old boy.

Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others, although they were speechless to Zhu Houzhao, some words were difficult to refute.

After the change of Tumubao, Yu Qian dispatched troops and horses, but also based on the capital, and the Warat people launched an offensive and defensive battle outside the nine gates, and the Warat people won successive battles, and finally the Wara people could not break through the Ming army camp outside the nine gates, and they could not take Juyong Pass, and the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty Qinwang would be killed at any time and chose to withdraw the troops.

Liu Jian felt that he was powerless to refute the prince, looked at Zhang Mao next to him, and asked, "What is the insight of the British duke?" ”

Zhang Mao said: "If the Bauhinia Pass is lost, most of the Tatars will take the opportunity to advance eastward and threaten Gyeonggi, but they may also plunder around the Gyeonggi Division." Now it seems that it is most appropriate to hold on to the reinforcements, after all, the troops and horses on the three sides are almost withdrawn to Datong, and the Beijing division only needs to be stationed for more than half a month. ”

Zhu Houzhao shouted: "What kind of ice and snow freeze Tartar will withdraw the troops, this is pseudo-logic!" Sink...... Someone has said that the Tartar is located in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and the terrain is further north the colder the weather, the cold winter Layue Tartar in our Daming, will only feel warm, more cold-resistant than our Tartar! ”

The knowledge of the bear child is far beyond the imagination of the ministers present.

Everyone was silent, wondering, where did the prince learn this knowledge?

Ma Wensheng said: "It's useless to argue, I think it's better for Gonggong Xiao to play and ask Your Majesty, please make a decision!" ”

After thinking about it, Liu Jian nodded helplessly, it is difficult to let Zhu Houzhao settle down now, and the people who can suppress the young prince are not these old ministers, but only the emperor. Liu Jian arched his hand: "There is Lao Xiao's father-in-law who will hand over these battle strategies to His Majesty's Imperial Review!" ”

……

……

Seven advisers moved from the Wenhua Hall to the Fengtian Hall, which was the main hall where the Great Imperial Meeting was held in the middle of the Orthodox New Year.

At this time, the civil and military officials in Beijing had already received the news that the Tartar soldiers were coming to the city, and they were ordered to enter the palace and wait for further news.

Xie Qian followed everyone into the Fengtian Temple.

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi was still on the sickbed, Fengtian Hall was in a state of no owner, and all the ministers were panicking, all of them were talking about the current situation in the capital, and many people even talked about taboo topics such as relocation, which shows how much pressure there is.

The voice was too noisy, Xie Qian knew that Xiao Jing was asking the emperor in the Qianqing Palace at this time, but the result was unpredictable, he didn't want to participate in the discussion, and he thought that he would not be a candidate to lead the troops, so he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

At this time, Ma Wensheng walked over and asked, "Yu Qiao is thinking about the selection of the soldiers?" ”

Xie Qian opened his eyes and looked at Ma Wensheng, then lowered his head and continued to remain silent - Ma Wensheng was not on his side in the matter of sending troops to rescue Tumubao, and Xie Qian was a little knotted about this.

Ma Wensheng and Xie Qian stood side by side, and there was a lot of emotion in their words: "The current situation is far less than that of Tumubao, there were still 220,000 troops available in the capital at the beginning, but now the soldiers and horses are less than half of the original, and the Tatar soldiers are stronger than the Warat army led by Ye Xian, this battle is not easy to fight!" ”

Xie Qian asked rhetorically: "Ma Shangshu thinks that what is the chance of winning this battle?" ”

This question stopped Ma Wensheng.

From a practical point of view, the war has won and lost, the Tatars have been killed in the capital, even if the defense of the capital is stable, there is a possibility of loss, this time the Tatars are menacing, and the defense of the Ming Dynasty is very difficult.

But from the perspective of the important ministers of the Ming Dynasty, it must be said that there is a 100% chance of victory, because if it is defeated, it is very likely that it will end up with the doom of the country and the family, and the Chinese civilization is facing regression and entering the miserable situation of foreign rule in the Central Plains again.

Ma Wensheng said: "What does Yu Qiao think? ”

Xie Qian was silent for a moment and replied, "At most...... Sixty percent! ”

Ma Wensheng smiled bitterly and thought: "Yu Qiao is quite optimistic about the analysis of the battle situation, but now everything in the DPRK and China is in a mess, and it is already reluctant to say that it is five or five open." But he warned him: "Yu Qiao's words must not be known to outsiders!" ”

"I know what, the old man just analyzed it according to the actual situation, and he was not alarmist."

Speaking of this, Xie Qian sighed, "You also said before, today's situation is far inferior to that after the change. The Tatar army is divided into two routes, all the way to stay in Xuanfu, block the retreat of our border army, attack the capital all the way, besiege the city and send reinforcements, the Beijing division will be lost if it is defended for a long time, can Ma Shangshu think about this? ”

Xie Qian's words made Ma Wensheng frown, and both of them fell silent for a while.
