Chapter 319: The Pressure of War
Zhu Yijun didn't answer Xu Wenchang's words, in fact, can Daming bear it? Compared with Xu Wenchang's full confidence in his heart, Zhu Yijun is not so confident.
"Take your time!" Zhu Yijun sighed and said.
Nothing can be done overnight, and if you are in too much of a hurry, it is easy to get into trouble.
After returning to the palace, it was not early, and Zhu Yijun did not work, and rested after going back.
The Military Aircraft Department, this yamen's status in the Ming Dynasty is very special, since its establishment a few years ago, the power of the Military Aircraft Department has been increasing day by day. Although it was under the banner of preparing for the Northern Expedition, its hand stretched out very long.
At first, it was the military, and after the Military Aircraft Department and the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces approached, the entire military power was basically separated from the cabinet.
In the localities, whether it is a civilian official or a military general, all the twists and turns involving the military affairs go to the military aircraft department. Personnel transfers, ordnance purchases, logistics purchases, everything is under the control of the Military Aircraft Department.
After this step was done, the Military Aircraft Department extracted some of its powers from the Sixth Division.
For example, the money of the household department, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, and the penal power of the criminal department.
One of the most direct manifestations is the right to punish soldiers.
One of the key powers of the magistrates to control the army is the power to prosecute and punish the army, and this power is no longer vested in the magistrates, let alone the cabinet.
This power is now vested in the Jinyi Guard, and the commander of the Jinyi Guard is the Minister of Military Aircraft of the Military Aircraft Department.
The stripping of the entire power has greatly increased the power of the Military Aircraft Department, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most powerful yamen in the Ming Dynasty. With the recapture of these powers, the local armies were actually loosened.
Of course, the supervision of the Military Aircraft Department is also very strict.
The Governor's Office of the Five Armies and the Jinyi Guard both have procuratorial powers, and there is also a military intelligence agency specially ordered by the emperor, the Imperial Horse Supervisor. In recent years, the Imperial Horse Supervisor has begun to come to the fore, and it is no longer the yamen that commands the Son of Heaven's army, but the military intelligence agency of the Son of Heaven.
In the armies of various places, there are basically people from the Imperial Horse Supervisor everywhere.
The status of the Military Aircraft Department has made countless officials want to drill into it, whether it is a civilian official or a military general. Compared with civilian officials, military generals have more spirit, and they see opportunities.
In the current Military Aircraft Department, the Minister of Military Aircraft who was born as a military general has Qi Jiguang, and the honorable ones are the British Duke Zhang Rong and the Dingguo Duke Xu Wenbi. Jin Yiwei is actually a member of the military, which makes the people in the military see an opportunity.
In the past, the generals of the Ming Dynasty could not enter the center of power, but now they can.
After having a head, the spirit and spirit are naturally different, which leads to the generals of the Ming Dynasty one by one as if they were beaten with blood. Especially the younger generation, they want to compete for a place in the military aircraft department.
The military is very simple, if you want to progress, then you have to make meritorious contributions.
In this way, the military's desire to fight is unprecedentedly urgent, and the huge benefits brought by the Warat side make people look red! Ji Liao and Liaodong guarded the Great Wall, looking at the grassland and drooling.
Especially those generals of Jiliao and Liaodong, their eyes are about to pop out.
Fight over and grab land, not only can you be promoted, but you can also make a fortune, and the generals in the northwest are about to run out of oil. Whatever you want to do is a lot of money.
Who doesn't blush?
Under such circumstances, Zhu Yijun felt a little overwhelmed. Especially after all kinds of materials were hoarded in the frontier, the wind of war in various places became more and more intense, and Zhu Yijun has been busy in northern Xinjiang in recent years.
The cement straight road from the capital to Jiliao and Tianjin was repaired, and the straight road from Jiliao to Liaodong was also repaired to Shanhaiguan.
The armament and food continued to be hoarded, and the generals of the Ming Dynasty were about to scream, and the soldiers below were basically the same. Forty-two human heads, giving these soldiers the urge to turn into wolves.
The most intuitive manifestation is that the wind of chopping firewood has prevailed in northern Xinjiang in the Ming Dynasty in the past two years.
In the past, Mingjun also went out to fight, but there are not many crazy times like now. Now Zhu Yijun is frantically hoarding supplies and constantly building cavalry in northern Xinjiang, making the generals in northern Xinjiang crazy one by one.
With the cavalry out of the customs all kinds of firewood, forty taels and one head, the Ming army regarded this as a means to make a fortune.
This point is very intuitively reflected in the number of beheadings reported by the Military Aircraft Department every year, which is increasing every year, and the imperial court needs a large amount of money every year.
In this case, the atmosphere of war permeated the entire imperial court.
Seeing that spring is about to arrive, the soldiers in northern Xinjiang have begun to sit still again, and the pressure on the military aircraft department can be imagined. In this case, the first meeting of the Military Aircraft Department after Zhu Yijun's New Year began.
Zhu Yijun sighed as he walked towards the Wenhua Palace.
In fact, three years ago, I said that I was preparing for the war in northern Xinjiang, in fact, a large part of the reason was the contradiction of transferring commercial taxes, stimulating domestic demand through military orders, and then achieving the goal of stimulating production.
Of course, preparations for war must be prepared, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, one of the three heroes of the Warring States of the Japanese Kingdom, is not going to fight.
The military supplies that he hoarded and the ordnance he hoarded were just right for Toyotomi Hideyoshi to come at that time. The imperial navy of the Ming Dynasty has also become an army, and it can give Toyotomi Hideyoshi a hard blow.
In history, Wanli beat Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Zhu Yijun always had a feeling of not being happy.
Although the battle was won, it was not a good one, and Zhu Yijun was ready to fight a dedicated war.
The current situation is that he, the emperor, is not excited, and the people below are already excited. Especially the Ming army in Jiliao and Liaodong. Of course, those guys in Jingying weren't much better.
In the past two years, a large number of students from the Royal Lecture Hall have entered the barracks, and they are screaming and hitting the wolf Juxu Mountain every day.
Zhu Yijun regretted it a little, he promised that whoever hit Wolf Juxu Mountain first would be named the champion of the Ming Dynasty. These rabbit cubs in the martial arts hall are now clamoring one by one that they want to fight to the Wolf Juxu Mountain, and then win the title of Marquis of the Champion.
Even the Northwest Army came to intervene and asked for battle all day long.
What did they surprise from the northwest, rushing all the way from the grassland, and directly attacking the Tartars in the north.
I don't know which brain-dead came up with this strategy, and the idea of grabbing merit is too obvious. There is no shortage of people in the northern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty, Jiliao and Liaodong are sufficient, the fighting spirit is high, and the Beijing camp has hoarded 400,000 troops, and you are used to fight from outside the Great Wall.
Zhu Yijun walked outside the Wenhua Hall and heard that there was already a quarrel inside.
"Anyway, no matter what you say, I must ask for a fight, look at it, look at it, what kind of bullying has this been? This is the twist and turn of Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaodong. ”
"The Tartars deceive people too much, we must teach them a lesson, we must fight."
Zhu Yijun shook his head helplessly, what kind of tartar deceives people too much, Zhu Yijun doesn't believe it at all. In the past two years, there have been too many such twists and turns, and the northern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty has been full of beacons.
What I know is that the Ming Dynasty is very strong now, and the northern Xinjiang is stationed, and those who don't know think that the northern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty is going to be breached.
Today there is military intelligence here, tomorrow there are Tartars, and the day after tomorrow there will be Tartar infiltration next to it, endlessly. The Imperial Horse Warden also found out that several lost herdsmen had been caught, and they were about to go up and say that they had found signs of Tartar.
The problem is that if you send troops a hundred miles away and find a Tartar, that is also called finding a trace of a Tartar?
Are you sure you didn't run out to find someone? Zhu Yijun estimated that these guys' eyes were wide-eyed, and they were specifically looking for where there were tartars, and after finding them, they went back to write the recital, without any face.
According to the information sent back by the Imperial Horse Supervisor, the Tartars outside the northern Xinjiang have not had the heart to make trouble in the Ming Dynasty in recent years.
The titular Great Khan of the Mongols, the Great Khan of the Chahar tribe, Buyan Chechen, was to die. The old guy is fifty-five years old, but his health is very poor, and he may hang up at any time.
Two years ago, Buyan Chechen's eldest son and his heir, Mang Heke, died.
Without an heir, the Chahar Department is now very unstable, and the Korqin, Nekhalkha, Tumut, Ordos and other departments around the Chahar Department are like wolves staring at fat sheep.
Everyone was waiting, and these people all wanted to wait for Buyan to finish and swallow this piece of fat.
In addition, the Ming Dynasty has been eyeing the Ming Dynasty in the past two years, and there is the rising Nurhachi in the east, and the Tartars have stopped very much, and no one wants to run to fight with the Ming Dynasty at this time, and the entire grassland and northern Xinjiang are very calm.
In addition to the Ming army, to paraphrase a later generation, the Ming army has become the biggest destabilizing factor in the region.
According to the intelligence of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, Nurhachi was preparing to go eastward to fight the Yalu River, annex and conquer Zhusheli Road and Neyin Road, and then include the Changbai Mountains in his sphere of influence. Then, send troops to seize the East China Sea Department.
If this strategy is achieved, then Nurhachi will completely consolidate his base.
Behind his back, that is, between Changbai Mountain and North Korea, there will be no enemies, and no one will stab him in the back when he launches a western expedition.
At the same time, the Haixi Jurchens and the Ulla, Huifa, Hada and Mongolian Horqin tribes were also seeking to destroy Nurhachi. In the past few years, Nurhachi has been fighting in the east and west, constantly annexing and strengthening themselves, and they have already felt the danger.
The entire Northeast is already covered with war clouds, and in the previous life, Daming was watching the excitement on the side, shouting a wave of 666, and by the way, he beat a wave of Toyotomi Hideyoshi in North Korea, and then he didn't care about them.
When I wanted to take care of it, I really sent troops, and then I fought a Salhu.
Of course Zhu Yijun won't ignore them this time, as for wooing this and fighting that, or calculating this and that, Zhu Yijun never thought about it, because it was unnecessary.
Zhu Yijun didn't want to do that, what Zhu Yijun wanted to do was lie down.
If the Ming Dynasty does not move, once it moves, it will be a thunderous thunderbolt, no matter who it is, what Jurchen tribes, what Chahar, what Korqin, what Inner Khalkha, either surrender, surrender to death, there is no third way.
Now Zhu Yijun has this determination and confidence.
Da Ming can beat you Tartar, one year, two years, five years, ten years, as long as you don't admit defeat, I will keep fighting!
