Chapter 782: Pour a basin of cold water
"What?"
"Motosuke!"
"Motosuke is cautious!"
Wang Xijue put down the military newspaper in his hand, and slowly spit out four words in his mouth, which immediately made the ministers present startled and stepped forward one after another.
However, on the contrary, Zhu Changluo suddenly smiled, stroked his palms and laughed.
"What Yuan Fu said is very heartfelt! This time, I will definitely teach that Tatar a cruel lesson, so that you can see the majesty of my Ming Dynasty! ”
Lao Shoufu's face was calm, he got up slowly, and glanced at the ministers for a week, which suddenly calmed down the boiling emotions present, paused, and Lao Shoufu said.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the old man knows that it is not good for the people to start a war without permission, but no matter what the Turmo Ministry wants, it is a fact that he will raise troops to attack my Datong, and it is also a fact to attack and kill the ministers of our dynasty, if we do not act, it will only make the foreign countries despise my Daming, and the Tatars are barbarians outside the Saiwai, with the nature of tigers and wolves, if the Ming is weak and can be bullied, it will definitely become worse in the future, so the old man's intentions, this time it is necessary to transfer troops to Datong, in order to deter the Turmo Department!"
Finally there is someone who understands, Zhu Changluo nodded, thinking deeply.
The struggle between countries will only be a more naked law of the jungle, if you show weakness, the other party will definitely kick the nose in the face and become more and more excessive.
If you want to have peace, you must defend it with war!
On the other hand, the group of ministers below were contemplative, and even one or two bigwigs twisted the beard on their chins without realizing it.
After hesitating for a moment, Jifu Zhenzaichi stepped forward and sighed.
"Having said that, but at the end of the war, the victims are still innocent people!"
"What the old man said is good, the war is together, the people will be displaced, so the old man means that the two-pronged approach, the advance send a large army to deter the enemy, and then send a brave and wise person to the Turmer Department to find out the cause of the matter, if there is a misunderstanding, we should order it to ask for guilt and retreat the army, so that the two sides are safe, but if the other party has wolf ambitions and bad intentions, we should also be vigilant!"
Lao Shoufu nodded, but as soon as he spoke, he arched his hand and said to Zhu Changluo.
Zhu Changluo frowned and said softly.
"Motosuke means...... Send troops without going to war? ”
"Exactly!"
Wang Xijue nodded.
However, as soon as he said this, Zhao Shangshu's face fell, he originally thought that the emperor would spend enough money to fight, but who would have thought that Lao Shoufu would think of a more expensive way.
Sending troops without going to war is certainly a way to deter the enemy, but the problem is that even if you don't plan to go to war, you should prepare for war as soon as you should be prepared, not to mention that not going to war means that you have to continue to fight each other, and if the matter is not resolved for a day, the army will not be able to retreat for a day.
This man eats and eats horses, and he doesn't know how much silver he will throw into it!
If you do this, you might as well have a vigorous fight, and maybe you can save some money......
Seeing this situation, Lao Shoufu naturally understood what Zhao Shiqing was thinking, and said immediately.
"Military spending, but don't worry, it's almost August now, at most three months later, the outside of the Seychelles will be close to winter, Tatar is a nomadic department, live on cattle and sheep, once winter, its supplies will inevitably be insufficient, retreat is inevitable!"
Trimester......
Zhao Shangshu made a rough calculation in his heart, if according to the meaning of the Son of Heaven, send an army of 100,000 and only defend without fighting, then in three months, the consumption of heavy grain, grass, weapons, horses, and people will be converted into silver taels of about three or four million taels, which is still barely acceptable.
After leveling Zhao Shangshu, Wang Xijue turned to face Zhu Changluo again, he knew that the ministers were easy to persuade, and what was really difficult to convince was the current saint!
In any case, Jin Shang is a young man in his early twenties, arrogant, young and vigorous, and the power of the brilliant sky cannot be offended, which can be seen from the reaction of the Son of Heaven just now.
The reckless provocation of the Turmer Department must have touched a sensitive nerve in the heart of the young Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven is a naturally stubborn person, and it is extremely difficult to change what he has identified!
If it is replaced by a slightly weaker Son of Heaven, it will be okay, but now the means and abilities are all first-class outstanding, and what he really wants to do, even Wang Xijue, is not completely sure that he can be convinced.
Taking a deep breath, Lao Shoufu could only pray at the moment that the Son of Heaven would not be carried away by anger!
"Your Majesty Mingjian, the old minister said this, there are three reasons, one of them, at this time to start the war, it is really a hurry, the Tatars come suddenly, my monarchs and ministers are unprepared, rashly meet the war for the intention of unintentional war, the war will lose the opportunity, want to win this battle, it must be extremely difficult, although I have 800,000 troops now, but must be stationed in various places, can be deployed to meet the fight, there are really not many, the army combat strength is also quite worrisome, the Turmo Department has relied on the mutual market over the years, the rise is very fast, 30,000 troops, enough to be the enemy of my 100,000 army, Under the unpredictable outcome of the battle, it is really impossible to start the war lightly! ”
Lao Shoufu said not in a hurry, but the words were clear and the reason was clear.
Zhu Changluo was silent for a moment, then spoke again, and finally lost his previous impatience.
"Motosuke, please continue!"
"Your Majesty is wise, the second is the post-war matter, the Thurmer tribe is only a tribe of Tatars, although the soldiers are strong and strong, but if I come out with all my strength, I am not afraid, it is not impossible to kill the generals and capture the flag, but the Tatars are not this tribe! Now although the Tatars are divided, but still respect the Chahar Department as orthodox, although Chechen Khan is cowardly and incompetent, but he has great ambitions, if I take advantage of the defeat of both Ming and Turmo, a big attack, my Ming will suffer heavy losses! Taking a step back, even if the Chahar Ministry does not take advantage of the situation, there are still Horqin, Ordos and other departments eyeing it, and they must not be worried! ”
Seeing that the emperor seemed to be shaken, Wang Xijue breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"The third, for the internal and external can not be taken into account, Your Majesty is newly enthroned, determined to reform, intent to rectify the rule of officials, although this move is a wise move, but it will inevitably make the court turbulent, if you start a war with foreign enemies at this moment, it is inevitable that it is difficult to take into account both inside and outside, the former Zhang Gongju is reforming the rule of officials, and does not dare to start a war with the Tatars, so the old ministers are worried, please Your Majesty take a break from the wrath of the thunder, do not be rash, the army can be adjusted, but if the war can not be afforded, it should be avoided as much as possible, if it has to arise, it must not be a war!"
After the old Shoufu said something, the ministers present were all relieved, Lord Yuanfu really deserved to be Lord Yuanfu, and this vision and eloquence alone were not comparable to them.
And the ministers also saw it as they wished, and the Son of Heaven frowned, but he was no longer in a hurry to send troops, but began to ponder carefully.
After a long time, the Son of Heaven finally spoke again, but what he said made the ministers a little disappointed.
"It's not early, all the gentlemen are shocked to hear about this, they must be tired, I ordered someone to prepare lunch in the side hall, a few gentlemen can go and rest for a while, Yuanfu stayed, and accompanied me to continue talking!"
