After the Liaodong war report came yesterday afternoon, Zhao Zhigao was as uneasy as an ant on a hot pot, and Zhang Wei also fell into deep doubts and worries, wondering why the Liaodong Army was brave and unrivaled the Ming Dynasty, why it was defeated in the first battle, and worried that this matter would have a bad impact on the reputation of the Ming Dynasty, as well as another extremely important thing.

Things have developed to this point, and Japan, which suddenly appeared outside the tributary system to challenge the old powers, is suddenly full of presence, which makes the ministers of the court and the central government quite uneasy.

The two elders stayed awake all night, thinking hard about countermeasures, and then waited for His Majesty the Emperor to summon them, and they were always uneasy, of course, the root cause of their sleepless nights and hard thinking about countermeasures was not North Korea, and the same as the ministers, it was another matter.

It wasn't until these two twists and turns brought by Shi Xing that their mood changed.

This is a very rare excerpt from the war, yes, it is quite rare, because the one who invited the war was a military general, a famous general who had just made great achievements in the northwest and was named Pingyubo, Xiao Ruxun.

The famous general who used firearms to break the trap and overturned the giant city with gunpowder did not have a very strong presence in the hearts of the courtiers, because he did not have any dealings with any civil officials, and after entering Beijing, he never chose to serve as a civilian official like Li Chengliang, and only wandered among the military generals and nobles, as if he had become a new upstart in the martial arts.

His background is not innocent, first of all, the relationship with Wei Xuezeng and Ye Mengxiong is too deep, he can be regarded as an old department, or even a remnant, he can't be trusted, and it seems that he has no plans to join the lackeys of the civil official group, naturally, everyone in the civil official group does not like him.

At this stall, this guy handed over a battle excerpt.

It listed in detail the reasons for the defeat of the Liaodong Army that he analyzed and the information he knew about North Korea, and came to the conclusion that North Korea was not suitable for most of the cavalry to enter the battle, and when the infantry soldiers were the main force and firearms were used as important weapons, he proposed to transfer 5,000 Ningxia firearms battalions, 5,000 Zhejiang gunners, 10,000 Zhejiang sword and shield soldiers, 10,000 Shandong gunners, 10,000 Xuanda crossbowmen, 40,000 combined troops, supplemented by 3,000 Liaodong cavalry, to enter Korea to crusade against Japan.

Originally, this kind of excerpt would not be taken seriously by civilian officials at all, and it would be thrown away directly, because what qualifications and abilities did the generals have to discuss military affairs? That's our civilian business, you just need to bring good soldiers, and we'll call the rest!

But now, the situation has changed subtly, the civilian officials have no idea about the situation in North Korea, but this Xiao Ruxun seems to know North Korea very well, and carefully proposes the need to go to war, even Zhao Zhigao, a confused gentleman, thinks this strategy is very good.

Zhang Wei and Shi Xing came up with an idea together.

This is a handsome talent, a terrible handsome talent, and a count! It perfectly fits the requirements of the commander who led the army in the early stage of the Ming Dynasty!

There is a handsome talent among the generals! A handsome talent who can compete with Li Chengliang!

Is this good or bad?

Shi Xing and Zhang Wei looked at each other, and then at Zhao Zhigao, who nodded again and again with this recital, and showed a helpless look together.

They chose to hand this recital to the emperor and to hand this hot potato to the emperor -- to do their part, they were no longer just representatives of one or two local forces, but representatives of the interests of an entire faction, and they did not dare to make a decision on such a major matter concerning national and even international issues.

In fact, Zhang Wei didn't want to participate in this matter at all, but the old fool Zhao Zhigao liked this excerpt, and Shi Xing had a clear banner, he didn't want to make a big deal about this matter at all, and he didn't want to ignore this military general at all, however, things had changed.

Another memora is the Jianzhou Wei Jurchen chieftain, Jianzhou Wei Du Governor Tong Nuer Hachi, he wrote a book, saying that he had just unified the Jianzhou Jurchen tribes, and could better defend the border for the Ming Dynasty, so he begged the court to give him a gold-capped hat and the title of Dragon and Tiger General.

Next, he complained that the Korean border has been unstable recently, and more than 50 people in his tribe have been killed, and then he turned his pen and patted his chest and said: The Japanese are fighting Korea, and the next step is to fight our Jianzhou, I am willing to raise 30,000 troops for the imperial court, and when the Yalu River freezes in winter, I will cross the river to resist Japan.

Shi Xing was quite moved, but Zhang Wei still couldn't make a decision.

So Shi Xing wrote something with a pen and sent it together with these two letters, and these two letters came to Zhu Yijun's desk who was upset.

That's right, Zhu Yijun is worried.

What bothers him is not North Korea, he is exactly the same as the two cabinet elders and the ministers, but he is annoyed by another thing - the dispute over the national capital!

At that time, Zhu Yijun had two sons, the eldest Zhu Changluo and the second Zhu Changxun, according to the rules, the eldest son established an heir, but Wanli doted on Zhu Changxun's mother Zheng Guifei, and had been planning to help Zhu Changxun to the throne, so he had been unwilling to give Zhu Changluo the title, and the ministers were resolutely opposed, and they wrote to request that the position of the prince be established as soon as possible, but Wanli refused to obey.

So the hundred officials and the emperor began a protracted struggle, from the fourteenth year of Wanli to the twentieth year of Wanli, the problem is that in the twentieth year of Wanli, this struggle has just had a hint of turnaround, under the leadership of the scholar Zhang Wei, the hundred officials launched a furious attack on the emperor, and the emperor wanted to give an explanation.

At this juncture, all the ministers did not want to give the emperor a chance to blur the topic. As soon as they open their mouths, with the wisdom of the current emperor, they will definitely follow the topic: "The war is tight, let's discuss the war, and the prince will talk about it later!" ”

Therefore, the lords and factions in the imperial court hoped to take advantage of this to control the war of aiding Korea to a small extent, so as not to steal the limelight of "fighting for the country's capital."

And Zhu Yijun is wholeheartedly trying to use this war to win a respite for himself and pave the way for his son's accession to the throne, so how to divert the attention of the courtiers is something he has been thinking about.

Although Korea is indeed important, it is not as important as the crown prince, and he saw that the news of the defeat of the Liaodong Army came, and the courtiers were silent, which was not a good signal.

So he opened Xiao Ruxun's recital with some helplessness.

Really to Xiao Ruxun said, North Korea is not suitable for cavalry galloping, even if it wins, it is a miserable victory, if the cavalry loses too much, it will not be able to maintain the suppression of the Mongols on Jiannu, which is by no means in line with the interests of the Ming Dynasty, from this point alone can not let the Liaodong cavalry move, Xiao Ruxun's plan is to rely on the infantry as the main force, with the infantry to sweep the entire North Korea, and annihilate the Japanese in Korea.

He proposed that at most 60,000 soldiers and horses were needed, which was still based on the Japanese sending 200,000 troops, and the current intelligence is unknown, from tens of thousands to 100,000 to 100,000 to 100,000 to 200,000 speculations, and so on, it is impossible to count the number of Japanese troops, which makes Zhu Yijun very angry, and the day before yesterday he also reprimanded Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, who came to report on the work.

Xiao Ruxun's fold was sent to Zhu Yijun at this time, and it was sent with Tong Nuer Hachi's fold.
