"Ying Xiao ......" Xiao Mu whispered the question raised by Lin Ye, "Judging from the current situation of the Ming Dynasty's treasury, there is a good chance that there will be no additional rewards for them in addition to military salaries, and it is impossible for them to be allowed to wander around the streets of the capital......

In the end, Xiao Mu asked another question, "If that's the case, how likely is it that they will have a camp roar?" ”

"Of course I can't figure it out. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Lin Yi spread his hands, indicating that he could not do anything, "Whether there is a camp roar depends on the specific situation of the army, how can a person like me, who has been in the deep palace all the year round, understand the specific situation of the three border armies of the Ming Dynasty?" And in addition to the emotions of the soldiers of the army, it also depends on the ability of the commander-in-chief to control the general, these three commanders, except for Yuan Chonghuan, who have a one-sided relationship, the other Hou Shilu and Man Gui I have never even seen it, so naturally it is impossible to know what their abilities are. ”

"All in all, if they are allowed to enter the city for repairs, there will be a possibility of camp roaring, but we can't estimate how big this may be." Xiao Mu finally made a summary, "But if they are not allowed to enter the city for repairs, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army will be greatly reduced, which can be completely predicted." ”

"So it depends on the trade-off between the battalion roar that is uncertain whether it can happen, and the combat effectiveness that is completely certain." Lin Yi then made a more in-depth summary, "And this final choice and decision is naturally made by you, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Do you have a choice?" Xiao Mu frowned and thought, "This is really a difficult decision. ”

"There's even harder!" Lin Yi continued to remind, "Don't forget that although you are the supreme ruler of the Ming Dynasty, if you don't have the support of the courtiers below, I'm afraid you, the emperor, will become a bare-bones commander." ”

"So?"

"Therefore, at present, most ministers do not support letting Yuan Chonghuan and his three-way army enter the city for repairs, if you want to force it, you will inevitably lose the support of some ministers, and this must also be counted in your trade-offs." Lin Ye finally explained.

"Therefore, even if I allow Yuan Chonghuan and his army to enter the city for repairs, there is a possibility that it will cause the camp to roar, and at the same time, it will lose the support of some ministers; If I don't allow their army to enter the city, I will lose the combat effectiveness of the army. Xiao Mu finally summed it up, fully grasping the results that would come after he made a decision.

"Yes, the final decision is naturally up to you, after all, you are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty." Lin Yi replied, "If your choice is proved to be correct in the end, then the history of later generations will record that 'Emperor Chongzhen made an extremely wise decision', and if you choose wrong, then the history of later generations will record, 'Emperor Chongzhen failed to correctly understand the current situation, made a wrong decision, and laid the groundwork for the fall of the Ming Dynasty'......"

"According to what you say, it seems that it feels better to be the one who records history than to be the emperor of me, and whether my emperor is wise or stupid is completely a matter of his words." Xiao Mu was obviously very dissatisfied with the way of recording history and evaluating the emperor that Lin Yi just described by only looking at the results and not looking at the process, completely "hindsight", and not understanding the difficulty and contradiction of the trade-offs at all.

"There's no way around it, after all, history is written by successful people." Lin Yi replied, "If you choose the right one, then you are the winner, and in the end what will naturally be left in history is a wise image, if you choose the wrong one, then your enemy will be the winner, and then you will undoubtedly leave a mediocre image in history." ”

"Why should I bear such a big price?" Xiao Mu replied helplessly, "I have been careful every day since I crossed over, for fear that what I did would eventually affect Emperor Chongzhen's reputation, but now one of my decisions may determine whether the evaluation in history in the future will be wise or stupid." And the most important point is that, judging from the current situation, I have no way to judge which choice is the right one, and in the end, the evaluation of history is completely based on the results and not the process. ”

"So this time, you can't guarantee that Emperor Chongzhen's reputation will not be damaged." Lin Yi summed up for him, "Since you are in such a high position, you have the opportunity to be able to leave a name for all generations and become a generation of virtuous monarchs, so you will naturally have to bear the risks and costs brought by such a high position, especially in such a critical period of history, if you succeed, you will be a Ming monarch, and if you fail, you will be stupid and unwise. ”

"I found that this is completely true to what I said earlier, and the financial news broadcasts of later generations report on the daily stock market situation." Xiao Mu replied helplessly, "If I let Yuan Chonghuan and his army enter the city for repairs, and finally lose the battle, then the reason is that the army that entered the city had a camp roar, or my decision to let the army into the city caused me to lose the support of the minister; And if I refuse to let the army enter the city for repairs, and finally lose the battle, it is because of the decision I made, which led to the decline of the army's combat effectiveness - in short, in fact, no matter what I decide, if the battle is lost, the final account will be counted on my head, right? ”

"That's right." Lin Yi nodded and replied affirmatively, "On the other hand, no matter what decision you make, if the war is won, then the final account can also be counted on your head, that is, 'thanks to the decisive and wise decision of the Emperor at that time', the Ming Dynasty won this war." ”

"So, in the end, what kind of historical evaluation and reputation I, or Emperor Chongzhen, can get, in fact, has nothing to do with my decision this time, right?" Xiao Mu finally came to such a conclusion, "No matter what I decide this time, as long as I win this war, I can get the praise of the wise sage, otherwise I will be dumbfounded." ”

"Well, that's about it......" Ringo nodded in agreement, but she always felt that something was not quite right.

"So I don't have to worry about whether Yuan Chonghuan and his army will be allowed to enter the city for repairs, because this matter itself has nothing to do with my last historical evaluation of Emperor Chongzhen! The victory of the war is the key to deciding the problem! ”
