Chapter 225: Earnestly, Unusual
Zhang Tuiguan was stunned for a long time before he nodded stupidly. Still wanting to defend, Zhu Qizhen continued: "Although the country is big, it will die if it is warlike. I naturally know this truth, and I also know that although the world is peaceful, it will be dangerous to forget the war. ”
"Zhu chat, now, but the Ming Dynasty, not to mention, my current situation in the Ming Dynasty is not as good as the early Tang Dynasty." Zhu Qizhen sighed, with a look of concern for the country and the people. "Now is not the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, nor is it the Yongle period when Emperor Shizu ruled the world, looked forward to the prestige, and obeyed the four Yi. Now is the time when my Ming Dynasty has been hit by war and my confidence has been damaged again and again. ”
"At such a time, do we still think that it is possible to convince people with virtue?" Zhu Qizhen's gaze swept over the people present, especially those civil officials, Luo Hengxin and others couldn't help but bow their heads in shame when they heard this.
"How can Datang convince people with virtue? That's because of the benefits of Datang's armor soldiers, sharp in the world, if you don't listen to Datang and don't reason with Datang, it will make Datang's elite teach a hard lesson. When I was in the Yongle Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, I could obey all sides, and that was because Emperor Shizu's great military might was in front, who dared to provoke? Who dares to squeak, who dares to offend me Huaxia? At that time, when we talk about reasoning and benevolence, everyone will listen and be willing to listen. Do you understand? Zhu Qizhen really felt that he couldn't fool these masters of classical Chinese with the whole Chinese language, so he decided to use the vernacular directly, although it seemed to be a little lower-grade, but which sentence was unreasonable?
Zhu Qizhen's voice was not high, let alone excited, but the words spoken by this gentle and smooth voice made the literati officials who had been immersed in the language art of the ancestors of the Chinese nation feel that their faces were hot and red.
yes, when is this? In the battle of Tumubao, Huang Yanjing was arrested, and in the battle of Jingshi, almost all the strength of milk was used, and after that, these tile thorns still wreaked havoc in the northern Xinjiang for so long.
It can be said that the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty has caused a fierce wreak havoc on the fierce enemy, and the so-called wailing is everywhere. The people of Northern Xinjiang all have a painful and bitter hatred for the thorns, and they are benevolent and virtuous with such an enemy? Isn't that ridiculous?
Even these officials who are full of economy and benevolence, righteousness and morality in the Xuanfu and govern the people, when they think of the tragic situation of the Xuanfu when they think of the last year, those grandiose words, they really can't say anything, after all, they are also Han people, but also Ming people, their eyes are not blind, their ears are not deaf, although they are powerless to go to the battlefield, they can't hold weapons, but after all, they are still men with blood surnames, yearning for the kind of integrity that is unyielding to the enemy and will go down in history.
-------------------- Luo Hengxin, the old man's head hung deeply, and he just had the idea of trying to persuade Zhu Qizhen, and after hearing these words, he couldn't help but look annoyed and ashamed. In other words, knowing that he is really guilty of the demented literary tone that literati love to commit the most, he always thinks that everything in the world is in the article. Benevolence, righteousness and morality seem to be able to be used as food, guns, and quilts at any time.
But in fact, a person like him who has been in officialdom for a long time, how can he not know that the big blade is more in charge of affairs between countries than benevolence, righteousness and morality, and how can he not know that the dirty in the officialdom and the scheming and trickery are more effective than making flowery articles?
"Now, when it is bitterly cold, it is very difficult to say that it is a large army to conquer or to march. Naturally, I will not ignore the surnames of the soldiers, and drive the army to destroy the thorns at this time. However, since the tile thorn dares to betray the alliance and invade my Xuanfu, if I don't do something, it will seem that I am too rude, so why not give it a small gift first? The corners of Zhu Qizhen's mouth lifted.
If he also received this thing first, he had only two choices, first, to endure until the next year when it was suitable to use troops, and then drive the army south. Otherwise, as soon as he ascended the throne, he suffered a great defeat, and he didn't even have the courage to fight back, so he was afraid that he would have done it. ”
After Zhu Qizhen stretched out the first finger, he quickly stretched out the second one. "Second, it is very likely that you will be ashamed and angry, and you will be furious, and you will immediately attack my Xuanfu to vent your anger...... Zhu Qing, Yier and other opinions, think, that is also first, how will they choose? ”
Everyone present fell into deep thought, but it was Yang Xin who raised his head first. "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that if it is the past, he will make the first choice, and the present is also the first, I am afraid that there is a good chance that he will make the second choice."
"Oh? Why? Zhu Qizhen raised his eyebrows and raised his hand to signal Yang Xin to explain his reasons.
Yang Xin was not stage frightened, and in front of these many Xuanfu civil and military officers present, he replied proudly in the hall: "Your Majesty, the Great Khan of Nava Thorn is also desolate to wine now, and he is arrogant and arrogant, so that his people are said to be centrifuged. Now and the defeat of Ping Kaiwei, his heart will not be willing to submit, if it is for His Majesty to play with things again, Wei Chen thinks, he will be angry and angry to raise troops to invade my border fort again. ”
Listening to Yang Xin's words, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but show a faint smile on his face, and his eyebrows couldn't help but feel a little more appreciation. At least, Yang Xin's thoughts coincide with his. It seems that Yang Hong's guy is indeed really capable, and he trained these three sons, none of whom are dogs.
Yang Jun is bold and careful in terms of marching operations, and he is quite prestigious, if he can polish and polish it again, he is a standard general. And Yang Xinxin is keen, good at planning, and is a rare staff officer-type talent, and Yang Neng is not bad. It's really a three-master, if there is no accident, I'm afraid that if it is a Yang family, it will be like those generals in the Song Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, if you really want to give a big gift to Yexian, is it to order all the border forts of my Xuanfu to be strictly guarded to prevent the southern invasion of the thorns?" Jiang Fu strode out and hurriedly spoke.
Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "This is nature. By the way, I remember that when I was last year, after the army of the tile thorn was defeated under the capital, I was still a thief with a thief's heart, and I wanted to take the Yongguan Pass and strangle the throat of my Ming Jingshi. With tens of thousands of troops to attack, but the Yongguan soldiers from the Beijing division to the enemy to attack the tile, the soldiers are not usually three, it is not enough to defend the guard, but the guard general Luo Tong won with a strange move. I don't know if you have any impressions? ”
That Wang Jinchang immediately rushed to answer, and the first one jumped out and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen still remembers that Luo Tong splashed the city with water, but Xu, the city is as strong as a rock wall, and the city wall is smooth, and there is no strength. ”
"Exactly. General Jiang is always a border fort, and they all apply this method, do you think, can you defend it? Zhu Qizhen nodded with satisfaction, turned his face and said to Jiang Fuyan, who had already understood.
-------------------- "Your Majesty is wise, since this spring, the border forts of my Xuanfu have been repaired and completed, and many dangerous passes are more solid than in the past. Jiang Fu nodded vigorously and laughed loudly.
Among the rest of the people, naturally some people have heard that Juyong Guan has used this method to block the main force of the tile spur, so that the tens of thousands of troops can only drop thousands of corpses, and they return in vain. It's just that I really didn't expect to use this method, or in the habitual thinking, this kind of trick is really a little too unusual.
Indeed, although this method does not take the usual path, but the problem lies in practicality, no matter how many people come from your thorn tartars, you have the ability to grow an ice rake with your hands and claws, and you have the ability to insert your teeth into the ice, otherwise, they will all stare at the city, and our Ming defenders will take a roll call with firearms.
Seeing that the civil and military officials in the hall were all in a correct state of mind, they were no longer entangled, but they all enthusiastically made positive speeches, and they made a strong verbal and written attack on the thorn tartars who were waiting for the first time, and despised them.
And expressed their admiration and approval for Zhu Qizhen's irritation, believing that in this way, those who did not know Chinese forbearance and middle-of-the-road culture would definitely be deceived, thinking that hundreds of thorn tartaries were about to fall in the struggle against the wind and snow and the bitter cold, and in the end, they could only look at the ice-cast side wall as white as jade and smooth as a mirror and vomit blood in depression.
Everyone's mood couldn't help but feel a lot happier, Zhu Qizhen's move was indeed a little damaged, but the problem was that it didn't cost a single soldier, but it was able to make people uneasy, and let the culprit who invaded the Ming Dynasty also go crazy first, which couldn't help but make everyone have a sense of pleasure of breathing out viciously.
And just when Yang Jun and the others, braving the already falling wind and snow, slowly returned to Shixuan's mansion, the gold-painted wooden box had already been sent to the golden tent of Na Yexian.
Seeing this beautiful and luxurious dress of a Han girl who must still look very surname-worthy when she wears it, and then looking at the letter written by Zhu Qizhen himself, she almost vomited three liters of blood on the spot, and fainted directly.
And soon, the dress was cut and shredded with a scimitar by those who looked like a mad tiger, and even the beautiful lacquered wooden box was cut to pieces by those who were still angry.
Soon, when he heard the news, he saw the mess all over the place, and after hearing the contents of the letter, almost everyone's faces turned as purple red as pig's liver.
Even Boyan Timur was so angry at the moment that his face was pale, and his eyes almost wanted to breathe fire. If it weren't for the calmness he had cultivated for a long time, I am afraid that he would probably be unable to resist standing on the side of Yexian, who was roaring loudly, and at all costs, he would also find his way back.
However, although he kept his sanity, the civil and military forces present did not consider as comprehensive as Boyan Timur, or in other words, everyone present was unwilling and did not dare to disobey the will of the first...... -
