Chapter 140: Divergent Path
The pro-guards and guards began to clean up the battlefield, and Tang Ji dismounted and troted all the way to the top of the hill.
"Your Highness, the Guards have lost six killed and nine wounded; On the side of the Guards, one was killed and five wounded. ”
"Why are there still dead in the Guards?" Zhu Qiming frowned, in his opinion, the final blow of the pro-guard army was tantamount to the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, at that time, the Warat people had completely lost their ability to resist, unless the pro-guard army mistakenly cut the long knife on themselves, otherwise, there was no reason to die!
Tang Ji paused for a moment and gave a seemingly reasonable explanation: "The eight hundred warriors of Yuefu have practiced courage and have all undergone death tests, but the pro-guard army is different, or some people are frightened, so they are taken by the Tartar thieves." ”
But hearing the sound of ticking hooves, Zhao Gang rode over. Zhu Qiming couldn't help but glance at Zhao Gang, he didn't know how to cherish the horsepower for such a slope, and he was so tired that he was angry!
Zhao Gang turned over and dismounted, laughing so hard that his mouth couldn't close his mouth, "Your Highness, this battle is enough to destroy one hundred and ten enemies, and none of the Tartar thieves are alive." ”
None of them are alive? Pity! Zhu Qiming shook his head. If two or three prisoners are left, after the triumph, a grand ceremony can be held outside the noon gate to present the prisoners, and after the excitement, the prisoners of war will be released on the spot, and the Wanbang can also feel the majesty and broad-mindedness of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, the sacrifice ceremony is just a scene, holding prisoners of war in his hands, with human and material evidence, he is not afraid of Wara's denial afterwards, this is the key! Pushing the matter of Wara's secret impersonation into the open, I don't know if the hundred officials in the court are optimistic about its success, it's still interesting to think about it at this time!
"Have you checked the identity of the Tartar?"
"Back to Your Highness, I have checked it, and there are three Tartar thieves carrying letters on their bodies, and look at the meaning of the letters, they must be Warats!" Zhao Gang said with a smile.
Yo, there's this specialty! Zhu Qiming suddenly felt that Zhao Gang was still quite popular. "Where do they belong to Warat?"
"Back to Your Highness, what's on the letter······ The word "Zhiyuan". ”
"Arachiin!" A series of questions suddenly flashed through Zhu Qiming's mind. Do the three have their own areas of activity, or are they mixed? What is the balance of the weight of the Arazhiin in the confrontation between Yexian and Totoki? What is the attitude of the three towards Daming? Figuring out these questions seems to be more important than winning a battle!
Zhao Gang on the side was still immersed in the joy of victory and couldn't extricate himself, "Your Highness, this victory is done in one go, simply and neatly, the Tartar thief has no power to fight back, and in less than a stick of incense, the thief who just looked fierce and vicious became a ghost under the knife in a blink of an eye, happy!" ”
Zhu Qiming looked very calm, "The big victory is gratifying, but the other party is light cavalry, we are outnumbered by the crowd, and we are lucky to succeed in the sneak attack, that's it, don't underestimate the enemy because of a battle!" If the enemy and us are equal in number and attack each other in the gallop, we may not be able to take advantage of anything, and we can only fight to the death. ”
Zhao Gang was still laughing, and Tang Ji remembered the matter, "Your Highness, are you camping on the spot?" ”
Zhu Qiming was stunned. For some reason, he has always felt uneasy about the unusually calm direction of the monolith fort these days, which is the first choice for the Tartar to enter the fortress, and it has been almost three years, and it is precisely the rumor that there are no thieves on the monolith fort, which cannot but make people suspicious.
"Rest here for half an hour, and then return to camp overnight!"
······
The cold wind raged in the capital for half a month, and finally brought scattered snowflakes, the snow melted into the ground, and disappeared when it entered the water, and only the places that were easy to be ignored opened the embrace of sporadic snowflakes. If people in the world have the leisure to gaze at the outside world, they can find that before they know it, the roofs and grass have become a faint layer of white.
At this moment, the young Son of Heaven was sitting on the throne of the Wuying Palace, looking at the white layer of the roof outside the door.
The emperor's mood was quite low. Yang Shiqi is always taking sick leave, and Yang Rong is used to keeping silent, so although the young son of heaven does not have the name of pro-government, he has the fact of pro-government. However, when the initial enthusiasm faded, the emperor found that directly dealing with a group of old ministers with more eyes than mesh eyes, which was unbearable and helpless, was not something that a teenager could bear.
The emperor dreamed of being like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and building immortal martial arts, and it happened that Wara Ke could play the role of the Xiongnu. But after a few temptations, he learned the "Tai Chi" kung fu of the hundred officials, and the palace banquet was suddenly replaced with the content of Sima Guang's "General Knowledge of Information and Administration", and Sima Guang's bad comments on Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are simply staggering, what is the intention of the hundred officials' move, I am afraid that even a fool will guess a few points! He finally realized that it was almost impossible to reach a consensus with the officials on that ambitious plan.
What's more, in order to prepare for a decisive battle with Warat, it is necessary to secretly carry out a nationwide mobilization, complete the efficient allocation of people, money and materials in just a few years, and resolutely reverse the passive strategic situation in favor of Warat, which will inevitably lead to the escalation of tension between the Ming Dynasty and Warat, which must have an incomparably strong heart to bear, it is obvious that the heart of the young son of heaven is not strong enough.
The emperor is familiar with the history books and knows that from the beginning of Zhao Wuling's king Hufu cavalry shooting, to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, as long as the Chinese regime has strengthened its will to fight with foreign enemies, there has never been a precedent of failure, but it was the compromise and concession of the Song Dynasty that set a precedent for China to be destroyed by foreign nations as a whole. But after all, he is young, and it is difficult for him to think completely without being led by others.
At this time, there was a guy named Si Renfa in Myanmar who learned from his Lao Tzu Si Lunfa, did not obey the edict, and did not accept the governance of the Ming Dynasty. In the final analysis, this is just a short-sighted move to bully the weak and fear the strong!
To be precise, the place where Si Renfa is located is called the Luchuan Ping Burmese Military and Civilian Propaganda Division, which is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. Si Renfa jumped three feet high there, so that the temperament could only damage the face of the Ming Dynasty, but it could not endanger the survival of the Ming Dynasty at all, just set up many other leaders, divide and conquer, and Si Renfa could not afford to turn up the three-foot high waves. It is good that the auxiliary ministers of the Ming Dynasty have left the great trouble of Wara, but since the fourth year of orthodoxy, they have encouraged the young Son of Heaven to send heavy troops to suppress Si Renfa, and this huge strategic mistake will naturally be counted on the heads of Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong.
If you want to catch Si Renfa in a large area of wild land, this is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, but the auxiliary ministers of the Ming Dynasty like to play this kind of cat and mouse game, and they don't feel sorry for the silver, hundreds of thousands of troops have been running between Yunnan and Burma for many years, causing the army to be tired, the treasury is empty, and then want to use a strong force on Wara, it is already too much to support.
Sadly, after eight years of conquest, Daming ended dismally, his face was not saved, and he lost a lot of money.
At this moment, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in the Wuying Palace, precisely for the second time to discuss Si Renfa.
The young son of heaven was a little dazed, thinking about the great danger of Wara, listening to the advice of hundreds of officials in his ears, and after some entanglement, he finally gritted his teeth and issued an edict: "Ordered Yuan Bo Xue Gui to be the general of the barbarians, the internal official Cao Jixiang to supervise military affairs, and Wang Ji, the secretary of the military department, supervised military affairs, and Xu Xi, the squire, supervised the military salary, and entered to suppress the rebels after the beginning of spring next year!" ”
There are a small number of people of insight in the DPRK who do not approve of this war that has no practical significance, and do not want to see the Ming Dynasty slip further and further down the wrong strategic road, but they are soft-spoken and can only sigh secretly.
Suddenly, the voice of the inner servant came from far outside the hall: "Good news, great victory in the north, great victory in the king!" ”
The sound of the victory was getting closer and closer, and just when the monarch and ministers were surprised, Jin Ying entered the inner room and said, "Your Majesty, Shang Huaiying, the eunuch of the prison army, asks to see you." ”
"Biography!" The emperor seemed to realize something, and his eyes lit up.
