497 Elect generals

Emperor Zhu Yijun is an emperor without military power, just like a literal thing, the Ming Dynasty emperor after Chenghua is basically blind to the current situation of the army, and he doesn't understand anything, the number of troops, the number of weapons, the amount of food, the amount of military salaries, these things related to the lifeblood of the empire, do not know anything.

Some emperors got by, and some were unwilling.

For example, Emperor Zhengde was unwilling to be fooled, so he secretly went to the border pass to check the truth in person without telling Wenchen, and then took the opportunity to fight a battle and accumulated a lot of prestige.

I didn't think that King Ning was too wasteful, Wang Yangming was too fierce, and he was cleaned up in a few clicks, and Zhengde couldn't see it - the royal drive was to increase prestige and control the army, increase the time between the emperor and the army, and let the soldiers know the existence of the emperor and their hearts to the emperor.

What am I like when you're done beating people? Isn't it a joke that I'm going to go on a personal expedition?

That's why he forced Wang Yangming to let King Ning go and continue to fight.

Since Zhu Yijun ascended the throne, except for the Dongchang Jinyi Guard, there has not been an armed force that can be controlled, and even the Praetorian Guards of the Beijing Division are not under his control.

The emperors of all dynasties held the Praetorian Guard tightly in their hands, but several Ming emperors did not, they only commanded eunuchs and spies, and they could only command eunuchs and spies.

Something happened at the border pass, the city of Beijing was threatened, Zhao Zhigao said that he would choose elite soldiers and strong generals to rush to the aid of Pingxing Pass and Yanmen Pass, at this moment, Zhu Yijun was blind to the generals and troops of his empire, and he didn't know anything.

Which general can fight? Which army is good at fighting? Which armies are close to the battlefield and can be mobilized urgently?

He didn't know how many years had passed since the last war, and he didn't know where the talents who emerged from those wars had been transferred.

As an emperor, almost completely insulated from the army, this in itself is an extremely abnormal thing.

In addition to the puppet emperors in history, there has never been a generation of powerful monarchs who are so ignorant and unfamiliar with the army, and it can only be said that the real power on the surface is actually a mascot.

Zhu Yijun felt the grievance in his heart!

He knows people well, but you have to let him know that those people exist before you can make good use of them!

Shi Xing quickly rushed over, and on the way, he saw Shen Cheng walking back with a solemn face, I don't know what happened, but Shen Cheng didn't pay attention to him, and he didn't want to deal with Shen Yi, so he nodded and rushed to the palace, and when he rushed to the palace and saw Zhao Zhigao and Shen Li kneeling on the ground, he knew that the emperor's anger was not small.

This time the situation was indeed too unusual, and Shi Xing himself felt guilty.

"Chen Shixing greets Your Majesty! Long live my emperor and long live ......"

"That's it! Don't say that! Shi Xing, I ask you, which elite soldiers can be transferred to help Pingxing Pass and Yanmen Pass? ”

Zhu Yijun didn't play cards according to the routine at all, choked Shi Xing half to death, and it was easy to breathe a sigh, Shi Xing's head was also confused, and after sorting out his thoughts, Shi Xing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the closest to Yanmen Pass and Pingxing Pass are naturally Taiyuan Town, Yulin Town and Xuanfu Town. ”

"Can there be elite soldiers in these three places? 100,000 captives from the north went south, breaking Datong in a few days, and it was menacing, and I didn't want to see the reinforcements sent to be beaten and lost their armor and defeated like a mountain! ”

Zhu Yijun stared at Shi Xing.

Shi Xing also muttered in his heart, he knew better what the hell these nine sides were rotten.

Everyone has said that the entire nine sides have become what they are now, and there are a lot of problems, which are also well known.

Among the thousands of generals in the entire Nine Sides, there are really not many who can fight, and even fewer can lead troops to rescue emergencies and have strategic vision.

These two people are not saying that they can make the list, but these two people have strategic vision and command ability, not ordinary brave generals who rush and fight, there are many brave generals, but what is needed at this moment is a famous general who can command.

Li Rusong and Ma Gui are two famous generals known to everyone in Jiubian, but whenever there is a problem with the country, these two people must be the first choice of the Wanli Dynasty.

Other...... Well, except for Xiao Ruxun, who was born like a demon, there is really no one left, Xiao Ruxun is in Myanmar, and the distant water can't save the near fire, otherwise he really wants to recommend Xiao Ruxun to be responsible, then he can rest assured, but now only Ma Gui and Li Rusong have a good choice.

Ma Gui was trapped in Datong and couldn't move himself, Li Rusong led troops in Liaodong, maybe he could still be mobilized, but it was also a little late, if he could be dispatched immediately, it would be best to have a famous general in Beijing.

Where can the group of princes and uncles who have been kept in captivity in Beijing be used?

That group of waste, can only slip around small birds fighting crickets, or make money, the Beijing camp is worse than the border army, even if they are given empty salaries to prevent them from making trouble, they can't be counted on.

There are some people who are good at defense and can use it, but at the moment it is not a self-preservation war, the defense line has been broken, and it is a face-to-face field battle.

This group of cavalry who had broken through the Great Wall and entered the interior could only defeat him by means of field warfare and expel him, but God, for so many years, how many examples of the Ming cavalry repelling the Mongols in frontal field battles? A cavalry is a cavalry, but not a fighting cavalry, but a cavalry that facilitates a faster escape.

Who can really come in handy in this emergency? In addition to those who cannot consider mobilization, only the elite cavalry under Li Rusong in Liaodong and the Jurchen iron cavalry that he can mobilize are available, and the rest of the mobilization is possible, but whether it can be defeated is a question mark, Li Rusong's cavalry has made great contributions in Korea.

But what is needed at present is to quench the thirst, Li Rusong is not good, and when he arrives on the battlefield, it will take more than half a month at the earliest, and it is difficult to guarantee that the Mongols will not be able to break through the Bauhinia Pass and threaten the Beijing Division, before Li Rusong's cavalry arrives, one person is needed to support the overall situation, at least to keep the Bauhinia Pass.

So, it's just that person, right?

There is a commander, and there is also a brave lieutenant, that person is too old, and if you rush to kill, you have to choose another person.

It's not that there are no strong generals to use on the nine sides, but among the famous and powerful generals, Da Yun is in Gansu, Du Tong is in Ningxia, with these two people, Gansu and Ningxia can be safe, but far water can't quench the thirst, and there is a Wang Bao who is very satisfied with Shi Xing, but he died of illness not long ago.

You Jixian, the former chief soldier of Jizhen, is also very brave, but at the moment he is under impeachment investigation and has just left his post, so if it is activated immediately at this time, I am afraid it is not appropriate.

Looking at the many brave generals on the nine sides, there is only one Chai Guozhu left who can really be used, Chai Guozhu is guarding Ji Town, if it is called, who should be arranged to guard Ji Town? Will something happen?

But...... Never mind! It doesn't matter so much!

Shi Xing said very seriously: "The only way to do this is to give an order to Wang Shiyang, the governor of Xuanda, to order him to coordinate the overall situation, dispatch troops to command the war, and then quickly send heralds to Liaodong, so that Li Rusong will bring elite cavalry to help, and finally, please enable Li Chengliang and take Chai Guozhu, the chief soldier of Jizhen Town, as his deputy general, and let him lead his troops to Bauhinia Pass in case of accidents!" ”
