"What did you just say?" Lin Yi felt that he must have heard it wrong, so although Xiao Mu's voice was not small just now, and his speech was clear, and he was not slurring or slurring, Lin Ye still felt that it was very necessary to reconfirm what he had just said with Xiao Mu. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I mean, since I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the backbone of all the courtiers and soldiers in the city, if I can behave very bravely and not be afraid of the enemy's attack, then the morale of the entire Ming army will definitely increase by several levels." Xiao Mu explained to Lin Yi again, "Although you and I don't know much about ancient wars, the impact of morale on the wars of this era must be huge, and you and I should know this very well in our hearts. ”

"It is precisely because your every move as the emperor has a decisive impact on the morale of all the soldiers of the entire Ming army, so do you really plan to go to the city to supervise the battle when the emperor Taiji is attacking the city?" Lin Yi was finally sure that she had heard correctly, and then asked the next question.

"Why not?" Xiao Mu naturally asked, "Since I play a pivotal role in the morale of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, then I will personally stand on the top of the city, which will undoubtedly greatly improve the morale of the Ming soldiers, and they will definitely be more brave in battle." ”

"I mean, why do you only think about the good side, but not the bad one?" Lin Yi felt that Xiao Mu had obviously not understood what he really wanted to express, so he continued to explain, "It is precisely because of your status as the Ming Emperor that you have the idea of standing at the head of the city to supervise the battle to improve the morale of the army. But why don't you think about it from another angle, if you really came to the scene of the war, stood on the head of the city, and entered the attack range of the Houjin army, if you, the emperor who is a billionaire of the Ming Dynasty and has a body of ten thousand gold, is injured in the war, or even loses his life, then for the soldiers of the Ming army, won't their morale fall to the bottom, and even cause the capital to be broken by Huang Taiji? ”

"So this is 'there is a give-and-take', or 'the child can't catch the wolf', doing anything if you want to make a profit always have to take risks, where is the kind of 'empty gloves white wolf' good thing?" Xiao Mu finally understood what Lin Yi meant just now, but he didn't care about Lin Yi's statement, and he used three idioms in a row, and fiercely "got an axe" in front of Lin Yi, who was born in the Chinese department.

"So you have to consider which is more important, what you 'give up' or what you 'get', or whether you prefer to trap the wolf or keep the child." Lin Yi continued to analyze, "You must know that there are tens of thousands of people in the original Jingying army in the Beijing Party now, even if there may be some empty salaries, the Jingying army is not full, even if the combat effectiveness of the Jingying army is low, but this is a city defense war after all, and it is still the strongest city in the world in the current Ming era." Moreover, there are Hongyi cannons to help defend the city, and Yuan Chonghuan, Hou Shilu, and Mangui led the border troops of Liaodong, Xuanfu, and Datong to defend the city together......"

Lin Yi said for a long time, but he didn't have any intention of stopping, so Xiao Mu could only continue to listen to her analysis, "So from the current point of view, it is far easier for the Ming side to defend the city than Huang Taiji's Houjin army to attack the city, and the original Beijing camp army plus Yuan Chonghuan and their three-way army soldiers and horses, the number of Ming troops is undoubtedly more than Huang Taiji's Houjin army, and this is not all your family background, if the war is not good for the Ming Dynasty, you can also issue an edict at any time to order the world's soldiers and horses to enter the king of Jingqin- You, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, have a much thicker family background than Huang Taiji, and you can fight a war of attrition and a protracted war with him, so why should you risk being injured or even killed in battle to forcibly boost the morale of the army? ”

"Well......" After listening to Lin Yi's analysis, Xiao Mu also understood her point of view, that is, not to take risks as much as possible, Xiao Mu also supported his chin with his hand and thought about this question carefully, "This matter really needs to be carefully considered." ”

Saying that, Xiao Mu began to try to analyze, "First of all, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I stood on the head of the city and had a great bonus to the morale of the soldiers of the Ming army, there is no doubt about this, when I listened to Zhou Yanru and Qian Qianyi's lectures, I mentioned a history of the Song Dynasty, that is, when the Liao State went south to attack the Song Dynasty, Prime Minister Kou Zhun strongly persuaded Song Zhenzong to drive the expedition in person, so the Song army was greatly boosted by the encouragement of Song Zhenzong, and once occupied a great advantage in the war - of course, In the end, if you have an advantage, you have to sign the "Tanyuan Alliance", which is another matter. All in all, there is no doubt that Song Zhenzong's actions of the imperial conquest greatly improved the morale and combat effectiveness of the Song army. And I don't need to drive the royal expedition now, just to show my face above the head of the capital, compared with Song Zhenzong, there is no doubt that it is much easier. ”

"Judging from the history and tradition of the Ming Dynasty, it is definitely impossible to sign something similar to "Tanyuan Alliance" with Houjin." Lin Yi also followed Xiao Mu and said.

"Yes, since I traveled to the Ming Dynasty for a period of time, I can always hear the ministers often proudly say that 'I have been a Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, and I have never paid tribute'." Xiao Mu also nodded, affirmed Lin Yi's statement just now, and then continued to bring the topic back to whether he wanted to go to the front line to boost the morale of the soldiers, "Therefore, Song Zhenzong, who drove the expedition in person, did not hurt a single hair in the end, and I just went to the city to stand for a stand, and there was strict protection around, the possibility of injury must be very small, it can be said that although it is not zero, it is basically unlikely." ”

"But when it happens, it's catastrophic." Lin Yi once again took the trouble to remind, "This is the opposite of the truth of winning the lottery, the probability of winning the lottery is very small, but once you win the lottery, you can send a windfall; The probability of this thing happening is also very small, but once it happens, it will be a catastrophe for Da Ming and you and me. ”

"Hmm...... The probability of winning the lottery is really low. Xiao Mu fell into thought again, "But what you said also makes sense, since this is the case, I will adopt a compromise method." ”
