Chapter 984: Complicated and Troublesome

This recital appeared in the celebrant and cabinet, and was quickly transcribed and abbreviated and sent to the direction of Jingdong Daying.

The seriousness of this playbook lies not in the joint names of these big people, but in the content in the playbook.

Now that the Cabinet and the six ministers are still on their way back, the Cabinet letter is eagerly copied and sent over, which is unusual.

At the end of the banquet, Zhu Xu's Luan drove in Jingdong Camp for a while, and set off with Zhang Yun to return to Beijing.

The basic purpose of this large-scale military exercise has been achieved, and the follow-up influence will slowly ferment, and in the next ten years, I am afraid that the southeast peninsula will be very quiet.

The Wa Kingdom is now mired in the Shimabara Rebellion, and even without Zhu Xu's covert encouragement, it will take three or five years or even longer for the Tokugawa shogunate to solve the problem, and hundreds of thousands of troops have been mobilized before and after, and the national strength consumed is unknown, and it is simply not capable of invading Korea again.

The only trouble Da Ming faces now is Chahar!

Chahar's overall strength is not strong now, and it is difficult to deal with it, they are nomads, and the vast desert can come and go at will, if they can't win a battle, they will be like Chengzu, and the five expeditions to the desert have not been able to overcome all their achievements, and there was a defeat in the civil fort more than ten years after their death - the Ming Dynasty has been in a slump since then!

Zhu Xu must win and completely solve Chahar! Otherwise, in the next ten years, Daming will not have enough strength to deal with Chahar.

Judging from the information obtained by Zhu Xu, although Huang Taiji gained a firm foothold in Moxi and received the support of Dzungaria, he had not yet been able to counterattack back. Dzungaria is not only full of internal turmoil, but also full of threats around it, and there are still decades to go before the Dzungar Khanate, which was at its peak in history, emerges.

Therefore, it is possible to completely exterminate Chahar and include Mo Nan in the territory of the Ming Dynasty!

It was not as grand as when he came, riding the dragon, but riding in a carriage. In the carriage, Zhu Xu was lying on Zhang Yun's lap, frowning and thinking.

Dorgon and Shen. There are 50,000 coalition troops on the Yang side, 30,000 Mangui in Tumubao, plus 3,000 ironclad cavalry and 200 cannons taught by Zhao Rate, and there are 40,000 people in total, and Zu Dashou's Tainingwei and Horqin and other coalition troops barely have 40,000, which is an army of 130,000!

The Ming Dynasty has not had such a large-scale battle for many years, and there are mostly cavalry!

Zhu Xu squinted, patted his leg rhythmically with his right hand, and kept spinning in his heart.

"Nikru, you should be back in Chahar soon, right?" Zhu Xu whispered. He was very curious, at this time, what would Lin Dan Khan do, wait and see what happens, or preemptively, or- negotiate peace?

After a while, Cao Huachun said from outside the curtain: "Your Majesty, Anda Mountain has been active a lot recently, and some people inside and outside the court have been found to have taken bribes and betrayed information to him. However, the impact is not great, Jin Yiwei asked for instructions on whether to clear it. ”

Zhu Xu's face was as usual, and he said, "No, let them keep an eye on it." Kindness...... Passed the decree Chahar: The king of Shunping is loyal and filial, has meritorious service in defending the border, gives python clothes, 30,000 silver, and immediately enters the capital to receive the reward. ”

Cao Huachun outside paused for a while and said, "Obey." ”

Zhang Yun blinked, looked at Zhu Xu's face, and said suspiciously: "Your Majesty...... Isn't it a crusade against Chahar? In this way, will the Shunping King still come? ”

Zhu Xu looked at her, reached out and touched her pretty face, and said, "There must always be an excuse to start a war, and this is an excuse." ”

Zhang Yun was extremely smart, and immediately understood, and said happily with a pretty face: "The concubine understands, the emperor must not dare to come to King Shunping, just use this excuse to crusade." ”

Zhu Xu smiled and said nothing. Looking out the window, he hoped that Lin Dan Khan would come boldly, and he would not hesitate to hang his head on the flagpole.

But with his bad reputation as 'accustomed to killing', Lin Dan Khan should be 100% unlikely to enter Beijing.

Pity.

Zhu Xu sighed in his heart, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curled and he slowly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Andasan was also on the way back to Beijing at this time, sitting in the carriage, like an ant on a hot pot, restless.

I have to admit that Chahar is afraid of Jiannu, even if Jiannu is no longer what it used to be, but when he heard that Dolgon had led his troops north, Anda Mountain was still frightened, and the six gods had no master.

He had two guards on his left and right, and one of them said, "Taiji, this matter must be notified to the Great Khan as soon as possible." The Ming people also have sharp artillery, but the artillery is bulky and difficult to walk in the desert, and our biggest threat is still the cavalry of Jiannu! ”

The other also said: "Taiji, if the Jiannu cavalry is equipped with artillery, I am afraid that we will be defeated." ”

Andasan glanced at the two of them, and did not speak with a calm face.

With the exception of a few people, no one knew the truth of Chahar better than him. Due to the deliberate blockade of the Ming Dynasty, coupled with the constant provocation, Chahar seems to be constantly growing, but in fact, the real combat power has not increased much, and it is already the limit to be able to gather 30,000 people who can fight! If you remove the wounded soldiers, serious problems and the like, I'm afraid there are only 20,000 people!

20,000 people, how to deal with the more than 100,000 coalition troops of the Ming Dynasty!

Anda Mountain also complained a little about Lin Dan Khan at this time, he was too eager and didn't know how to keep his eyes open, so early it caused the fear of Daming and was determined to crusade. If it can be stable for another three or five years, the strength of the Ming Dynasty will be weak, and Chahar will recover.

'I hope the national teacher has a way. ’

For a long time, Andasan still didn't speak, and sighed lightly in his heart.

Andasan is worried, and the two lords of North Korea are even more headaches and difficult to choose.

They know the situation of the Ming Dynasty very well, since ten years ago the Ming has been helping North Korea, it can be said that they did their best, not to mention the early defense of Korea, and the three wars with the Japanese State fully show the determination of the Ming Dynasty to protect Korea.

But now the Ming Dynasty has a series of natural disasters, the treasury is empty, and it needs to be disarmed to save expenses, and they also understand the huge plans of the Ming Dynasty and the cabinet, and in the final analysis, they can't complain that the Ming Dynasty will withdraw at this time.

But it was a matter of the continuation of the Korean state, no matter what, they did not want to, let alone let the 30,000 troops of the Ming Dynasty stationed in Pyongyang leave.

They must urgently discuss with the country and decide what to do before the disarmament plan of the Ming Cabinet is decided!

While they were still on the way, carrier pigeons flew to Shanhaiguan, and then turned to North Korea at one post after another.

Bi Ziyan and other cabinet ministers returned to the capital earlier than Zhu Xu and returned to the cabinet.

Bi Ziyan's room, he looked at the recital handed over by Zheng Youyuan, with a solemn expression.

Zheng Youyuan looked at Bi Ziyan, his face was calm, and he said, "My lord, this is a manuscript, originally in the celebrant supervisor." Presumably, the emperor will soon see the brief, and I don't know if this matter will make him angry. ”

Bi Ziyan didn't speak, and looked at the recital quietly.

The content of this recital is about the firearms that have just been exercised, that is, artillery. As the book says, 'Success or failure on the battlefield lies in people's hearts, not in sharp weapons.' The firearms are so big that they hurt the heavens and the peace, and they are not done by saints', 'A cannon flew out, dozens of people had stumps and broken arms, human lives were like mustard, the sky was full of fire, and they screamed and died, how can there be virtue? ’

Thousands of words are sprinkled with foreign air, which roughly means that the artillery developed by the Ordnance Bureau is too powerful and harmful, and it should not exist in the world, so it should be banned and never opened and used again.

Of course, that's not what they say, and they cite a few examples.

If these cannons fall into the hands of the rebels, or hostile countries, how can the Ming resist them? If it is a rebel army and the enemy attacks the capital with this, what about the palace?

Therefore, when it has not yet flowed out, please ban it in the imperial court, burn the drawings, arrest the craftsmen, and never suffer in the future!

Bi Ziyan looked at this notebook, read it twice, and his face changed several times, but he never opened his mouth.

Not long after, Sun Chengzong walked in with the same manuscript, looked at Bi Ziyan and said, "Have you seen it?" ”

Bi Ziyan put down the recital, sighed, and said: "The six books did not express their position, but a few waiters agreed very much and wrote a chorus. ”

Zheng Youyuan brought a stool to Sun Chengzong and quietly retreated.

Sun Chengzong also put down the notebook, looked at Bi Ziyan, groaned, and rarely did not speak.

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong's eyes met, and then they continued to be silent.

Both of them are scholars, born in Jinshi, and now they are full of poetry and books, full of talent, if they don't enter the officialdom, they must also be a great Confucian, everyone.

Bi Ziyan was a literati through and through, and from the bottom of his heart, he agreed with this script. The power of the artillery displayed by the Great Martial Arts was too terrifying, and he didn't feel it before, but now it was a little terrifying, which made him feel dangerous and worried.

Although Sun Chengzong is a civilian official, he has also led troops for many years, although he knows the importance of weapons, but today's artillery makes him palpitate, and at the same time, he is also worried, it has been like this in just a few years, if it continues to develop......

Just thinking about it makes you shudder!

After a long time, Sun Chengzong spoke: "The emperor is determined to develop firearms, and believes that it is a decisive weapon for future wars. ”

Bi Ziyan looked up at Sun Chengzong, his expression was calm, and he was speechless. He understood what Sun Chengzong meant, so he didn't speak.

Confucianism rules the world with 'benevolence', and if it does not conform to the word 'benevolence', it will be rejected as 'evil' and not 'right', and then it will be exterminated.

But the current situation is that His Majesty the Emperor is so enthusiastic about 'tricks and tricks' that they are powerless to oppose it, or even simple restraints. Especially on some major military affairs, because of his views, his ideas can often be confirmed to be correct later, and they are even less confident.

You know, today's – never missed!

Not once!

In the face of such a bright-eyed and eloquent emperor, it is not easy for these courtiers.

Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong and others often feel fortunate in their hearts, although this powerful person today can't listen to the slightest voice, but in the end, it is not Taizu, Chengzu, there is no indiscriminate killing, at least the courtesy that these close ministers around them should have never lacked.

After a long time, Bi Ziyan took a deep breath and said, "The cabinet does not express its position on this matter. ”

'Not taking a stand' is not a statement.

Sun Chengzong looked at Bi Ziyan and reminded: "You know the emperor's character, if you don't express your position, it is tantamount to opposition, the emperor is ...... There is an account book. ”

The current emperor's generosity is terrifying, and he waves his hand at many things that they consider to be a great sin of 'disobedience', and he doesn't pay attention to it at all. But in their opinion, it is something that is not worth caring about, and they are extraordinarily 'careful', and they will often settle accounts after the fall.

Sun Chengzong's words were not said thoroughly, he had already vaguely felt that the Qianqing Palace was dissatisfied with this 'Bi Shoufu', and it could not be said to be dissatisfied, it should be a kind of 'questioning' of his ability.

Bi Ziyan didn't know, but there were some things that he should insist on without hesitation to the end, and he could only understand Sun Chengzong's kindness, waved his hand, and said: "Now is not the time to say this, rest for half an hour, let's continue to meet, and we must reach the framework of this year's 'New Deal' as soon as possible, so as not to float people's hearts and make the morning and twilight." ”

Sun Chengzong didn't say much when he saw this, looked at Bi Ziyan, wanted to talk and stopped, and finally left.

He originally wanted to give Bi Ziyan a thorough understanding of Chahar, but seeing that Bi Ziyan had a bunch of troubles, he swallowed it back.

The cabinet is now busy with their feet on the ground, and hurriedly held a meeting with the six Shangshu, prime ministers and governors from all over the country to discuss, they are all worried that Zhu Xu in his free hand will intervene, and then they will have no right to speak, and too many things are up to them, so they are preemptively starting.

Under tremendous pressure, the adults competed with each other on various issues and then made concessions to each other, hoping to reach a 'New Deal' plan that could be agreed upon by all parties as soon as possible and that could continue to move forward.

The people outside Beijing are naturally lively, the Ming Dynasty is martial, and all countries come to the court, which is the omen of the prosperous era, the firecrackers are ringing in unison, and the hustle and bustle is winning.

When Zhu Xu entered the city gate, he saw the transcript and the abbreviation sent by the celebrant supervisor.

Sitting on the rickety carriage, Zhu Xu looked at this notebook, and he was full of emotion.

The deep hatred of 'strange skills and ingenuity' and the infinite elevation of 'benevolence' should be a serious shackle to the development of the feudal dynasty. This kind of 'shackles' appears in all aspects, the most conspicuous of which is the belittling and hindrance of 'craftsmanship', and in the case of firearms, it rises to fear.

'Today's artillery is as feared and feared as the atomic bombs of later generations......

Zhu Xu can understand the worries in this recital, but these people did not explain another problem - the Ming Dynasty has banned it, does it mean that other countries will not appear? What if it does? How to defend the Ming Dynasty at that time?

This is completely self-defeating, self-contained, stagnant, and even maliciously regressive!

Zhu Xu staggered, recalled some unbearable memories, suddenly annoyed in his heart, looked up at the front, and said, "What is the attitude of the cabinet?" ”

Cao Huachun sat outside, and when he heard the words, "The cabinet has not reacted yet, and it is estimated that it will not be released." ”

"Message!"

Zhu Xu's eyes were slightly cold, and he said in an indifferent tone: "Severely reprimand these people, artillery has existed all over the world, my Ming Dynasty is destroyed today, Xiyi will attack tomorrow, how to resist?" How to build the Great Wall on the sea? Do I want to be imprisoned like a pig and a sheep forever, bullied at will, and secretly survive? Short-sighted, selfish and narrow-minded, abandoning the responsibilities of the family and country with his own selfishness, talking about state affairs in vain, inconsiderate, without any pattern, his heart can be punished! ”

Zhang Yun blinked, just now for a moment, she also felt that these adults were right, and then listening to Zhu Xu's words, she was shocked, and quickly pursed her lips and lowered her head.

If it is really as Zhu Xu said, it will be terrible, and I dare not think about it.

Cao Huachun was startled outside, if these words were really made clear, I was afraid that many people in the recital book would be forced to death!

After hesitating for a while, Cao Huachun said, "Your Majesty, the tone, should you be more tactful?" ”

"No!"

Zhu Xu said: "You personally draft the decree, show it to me, and then send it to the cabinet, and then ask the cabinet to write a similar reprimand edict, and the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Officials will also write a copy, and then publish it in tomorrow's newspaper, and give me a good kill for the cowardice and incompetence of these people!" ”

"Yes." Cao Huachun sighed in his heart, very helpless.

Every time the emperor values and focuses on development, there are always people who jump out to oppose it and sing a high profile, but they are slapped in the face by the emperor, and it is the kind of condescending and irrefutable slap in the face.

The harder the force, the greater the reaction force, and it is not surprising that the Ming literati who regard 'Qingyu' as more important than everything else.

But this kind of reaction force is different from the action force, and the reaction is basically indiscriminate damage, map cannon, which will make those conservative readers more determined to hold together, stay away from Zhu Xu, and vigorously sing the opposite tune.

is a small episode, Zhu Xu doesn't care at all, this will is not only for those adults in the six cabinets, clearly expressing his attitude, but also for those who are open-minded and discerning in the government and the opposition, as for those who cling to the old dogma, Zhu Xu intends to be held by them to death - it can't be saved.

When Zhu Xu's carriage entered the palace, the two lords of North Korea were not idle, shuttling through the six ministries, the cabinet and other places, asking for a meeting, hoping to persuade some important ministers of the Ming Dynasty to agree that the Ming army would continue to be stationed in Pyongyang to defend Korea in case the Japanese invaded again.

However, most of the responses received were disappointing, and the rest were vague and difficult to affirm
