Chapter 174: Be a Qi Shaobao (Asking for Votes at the End of the Month)
The Son of Heaven was angry, shed millions of blood, and lay in wait for thousands of miles!
The word bully came out, Zhang Ke's head slammed, and he fell to the ground, sweating profusely. <
"Minister, minister guilty!"
Wanli looked at the young man in front of him and smiled slightly: "Don't be in a hurry to ask for sin, my imperial doctors have said that you are really sick, and it has been so long that you can't be punished for your crimes!" ”
"No!" Zhang Ke suddenly shook his head firmly: "Your Majesty, last year, Xiao Chen was just a waste who couldn't even pass the Xiucai exam. Now that he is a general, he has received a banquet from the Holy Heaven! The Holy Ministers treat the ministers with great kindness, and the ministers can lie to anyone, but they can't deceive the Holy Ministers! Please punish the sins of the ministers! ”
Zhang Ke said, honestly, and bowed to the ground.
In the Hongde Palace, the needle drop can be heard. The old eunuch Chen Ju, who was standing behind Wanli, showed a faint smile on his face, he had served Wanli for so many years, he understood the emperor's mind too well. If he really wanted to punish the crime, he would not summon Zhang Ke at all.
He couldn't help but applaud Zhang Ke, the little guy took the initiative to admit his guilt, in Wanli's opinion, it was a pure heart, not only would he not be punished, but he could also get unexpected benefits!
Sure enough, Wanli was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Get up, at that time, if you don't pretend to be sick, the civil and military forces in Liaodong will not let you go, some people may not be able to fight, but the internal fighting is a first-class master!" I don't blame you, but ......"
Wanli's tone changed suddenly, and he said sharply: "Now that I have replaced Xiong Tingbi and made your teacher Hong Fuyi the governor, you should also go to the front line to fight for me and exterminate Dongnu, right?" Don't you still want to shirk it? ”
"Xiao Chen doesn't dare!"
Zhang Ke's head spun quickly, Wanli could see himself, it was an exam, he would definitely not be in danger, but seventy points and ninety points are completely different! The greater the trust Wanli gives, the wider his stage will be!
Thinking of this, Zhang Ke gritted his teeth: "Qi Qi Xi à." As long as the minister still has a breath, he is willing to fight for His Majesty, even if it is a horse leather shroud, there will be no complaints! Just ......"
"Just what, are you afraid of death?"
"I'm afraid!" Zhang Ke said: "The minister is even more afraid that he will not succeed in the division, and he will delay the major event of His Majesty, and the minister will not be redeemed for his death!" ”
"Hmm!" Wanli let out a long sigh and sighed: "Zhang Ke, do you think that the army of the Ming Dynasty still can't defeat the Dongnu Jurchen?" ”
This is not a good question to answer, if you say that you can't win. It is equivalent to weakening the prestige of the Ming Dynasty and underestimating the emperor; But if you say that you can win the war, then why don't you pretend to be sick and dare not go to the front, isn't it the crime of bullying the king again!
Zhang Ke's forehead is full of sweat, fight!
"Your Majesty, since the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, I have rushed to the north of Mengyuan, five into the desert, and seven to the West. Xuan Tianwei overseas. Yang Shengde in a foreign land. No harmony, no reparations, no land cession, no tribute. The fierce Ming Dynasty is majestic, and the Han and Tang Dynasties are far away! When Emperor Sejong arrived, the Japanese were rampant, and they worked for more than ten years. The southeast is back to peace. From the 20th year of Wanli to the 28th year of Wanli, the three major expeditions were invincible. Shengming Wu Huang, reshape the power of tomorrow! ”
"The minister thinks that the Ming Dynasty of the Celestial Empire is invincible, and it is not as far as Meng Yuan, nor as cunning and cunning as the Japanese Emperor, and it is not difficult to exterminate it! The general trend is like this, but the old slave has accumulated troops for decades, and the army of tigers and wolves under his command, the fierce and stubborn people, stealing the bitter cold land, can be destroyed in one day or two, if you want to win, you must train the elite soldiers hard, and accumulate grain and grass. The soldiers are strong, the things are abundant, and then entrust a general who knows the soldiers, or three years and five years, or ten years and eight years, and will definitely be able to recover Liaodong! ”
"This means to despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically!"
The more Zhang Ke spoke, the more excited he became, and Wanli's old eyes also released brilliance, especially when he heard the last two sentences, the old emperor unconsciously felt like a confidant!
How good it is, unless you are big-minded, you can't have this opinion!
"Chen Ju, what do you think of what he said?"
The old eunuch smiled: "How can the old slave know about military affairs, but when I heard what Master Zhang said, the old slave feels that sooner or later I will be able to defeat Jiannu." ”
"Well, that's right!" Wanli said with a smile: "Zhang Ke, someone built an army of 180,000 to wipe out Jiannu in one fell swoop, what do you think?" ”
"Your Majesty, the minister thought that he would only see the trees and not the forest!" Zhang Ke said unceremoniously: "In the bitter cold land of Liaodong, how can the outlaws who built slaves win a war!" If it is delayed for a long time and the consumption is huge, my Ming Dynasty will inevitably be overwhelmed, and even be taken advantage of by the construction of slaves, which will increase the strength of slaves and consume the hearts of the army. ”
Chen Ju frowned and asked for Wanli: "Zhang Ke, if you can really win a battle, won't Liaodong immediately restore peace!" Even if it's a bit more expensive, it's worth it! ”
"No, I think Liaodong is just two of my Ming and Lao Nu! There is also the Hudun Rabbit Khan of the Mongolian Han Department, and he has tens of thousands of people who control the strings. Even if I tried my best to extinguish the old slave, I couldn't control the wild land. Hudun Rabbit is bound to become bigger, more difficult to deal with, when the time comes, I will spend ten times and a hundred times the energy, and it will be delayed for a long time, and I don't know when I will be able to restore the peace! ”
The Central Plains Celestial Empire has been high for too long, and there is no sense of international strategy at all, and in their hearts, the Ming Dynasty is the whole world.
Nowadays, the situation of the tripartite game in Liaodong is very obvious, but the elite of the Ming Dynasty only stayed in the state of winning over Mongolia and containing the wild boar skin, which is really outdated!
The reason why Wanli was impatient was that he felt that his time was running out and that he wanted to leave a peaceful and prosperous world for his descendants, so he was anxious to kill the wild boar skin. But Zhang Ke's few words dispelled Wanli's thoughts. What if you solve the old slave, isn't there still a tiger dun rabbit!
Liaodong is destined to be a big game of chess!
"Zhang Ke, how do you think to pacify Liaodong?"
Wanli is asking about the plan, Zhang Ke is twelve points careful.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Chen thought that he should first set a defensive position, and then try to win. Liaodong does not need 180,000 elite soldiers at all, it is better to reduce it to 50,000 or 60,000. Among them, there must be 20,000 troops capable of field battles. Take Shenyang, Fengjibao, Liaoyang and other places as fortresses to strictly defend them. At the same time, the Mongols were co-opted to contain the back of the old slaves. Use the saved military salary for training, as long as you train 50,000 elites comparable to the Qi family's army, and wait for the old slave and Hudun Rabbit to fight and lose both, I will attack decisively and win the battle, and Liaodongfang can restore peace. ”
Zhang Ke's strategy is not complicated, and even compared with those thousands of words, it is really simple to the extreme.
But Wanli heard the core and key truth from it, which is the so-called simplicity of the road, which is the truth!
"Zhang Ke. How do you think you should train your troops? 50,000 people is not a small amount! ”
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the core of military training is in one sentence: raise the Liao people with Liao soil, and build slaves with Liao people!"
There is land and people, and there are people and soldiers!
"Good, good!"
Wanli smiled and nodded, it seems that Zhang Ke's kid pretending to be sick is not afraid, but really has a set of practical methods!
"Zhang Ke, you have cut nearly seven hundred levels in Fengji Fort, and you have made outstanding achievements, and more importantly, you only used three hundred people. I am very relieved, can you tell us about the experience of military training? ”
"Your Majesty, the battle of Fengji Fort was not only the 300 soldiers of the minister, in fact, there were more than 2,000 defenders of the Fengji Fort, and the strength of the minister was more than that of Jiannu!"
Three hundred warriors, winning more with less, sounds good. However, Zhang Ke knew very well that at this time, he could not mislead Wanli, and he expected the enemy to be lenient, and he absolutely could not put five years of Pingliao's air artillery.
After Wanli heard it. Slightly jaw, this kid in front of him is an honest man! Talent and temperament are good, it seems that Pingliao will be inseparable from him in the future!
"According to the one-to-one calculation, the elite soldiers in Liaodong are also about 100,000. in order to defeat Dongnu! There are 50,000 in front, 30,000 in Beijing, and the remaining 20,000......" Wanli glanced at Zhang Ke and said with a smile: "I'll leave it to you!" Trained 20,000 elite soldiers. Give me 1.5 million taels of silver every year, and as long as you do two things well, I will promise you the Marquis! ”
Feudal marquis!
Military generals should not expect to be in the cabinet. If you can get a knighthood, it will be in vain!
Of course, Zhang Ke's blood was boiling, he was not stimulated by the marquis, but the quota of 20,000 horses! With Wanli, you can let go and expand your troops.
According to Zhang Ke's training method, every soldier can be compared to his family. 20,000 families, what an amazing power! You must know that Li Chengliang is only 7,000 families, so he crisscrosses Liaodong and looks down on him.
20,000 elite families, what position will Zhang Ke be pushed to, it's unimaginable!
The more times like this, the more you have to deal with it calmly!
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that training troops is not a trivial matter, and I plan to increase the number of men and horses to 5,000 within a year, of which 3,000 elite forces will be trained. 20,000 horses, trained in three years! ”
"Three years, isn't it a little slow!" Wanli said to himself.
"Your Majesty, if you can leave 1.5 million taels of silver to the minister, the minister is sure that he will be able to practice it within two years."
"Forget it!"
Wanli is still counting on Japan's silver to make up for the shortfall, and everything can be given to Zhang Ke!
Three years is three years, anyway, Wanli knows that his time is short. Even if you can't see the day when the whole Liao is pacified, as long as the successor can follow the strategy he left behind, he will definitely win!
"Zhang Ke, you can solve the money yourself, as for anything else, I can agree."
Zhang Ke's eyes rolled, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the sage has taught, and he has not changed his father's way for three years. Now Wanli nodded, don't think about turning the tables lightly when the apocalypse comes to power in the future!
"Your Majesty, the minister has three requirements, the first is the unification of power, the second is to allow the minister to clear the land and restore the army, and the third minister needs war horses to train the troops, can the Guangning horse market be changed to Yizhou?"
The three conditions are the key to the point, but it is not easy to do, the Ming Dynasty is all about the military with literature, where can a military general be in charge! The first one alone is not easy to do.
Wanli frowned, weighed it again and again, and then the old emperor said: "I can't agree to the first article, but I will give you the right to do things, if someone pulls the hind legs, it will naturally be replaced." The second article I agreed, as for the third article, you had better discuss a way with Wang Huazhen. ”
"Command!"
Zhang Ke didn't expect Wanli to agree to everything, which is already very good.
Wanli hadn't spoken so many words to his courtiers for many years, and he felt a burst of prostration, so he could only reluctantly say: "Stand down!" ”
"Yes!"
Zhang Ke kowtowed, turned around and exited the Hongde Hall step by step, and when he arrived outside the hall, he was finally able to take a breath. The hall was hot and stuffy, and when he talked to Wanli, Zhang Ke had to be 10,000 times more careful, his boots were full of sweat, and he walked with a croaking sound.
The torture is finally over!
Xiao Fuzi had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Zhang Ke coming out, Xiao Fuzi came over with a bowl of mung bean soup.
"Master Zhang, go to the heat!"
"Thank you!" Zhang Ke hurriedly took it and drank it dry in one go, feeling a lot more comfortable.
Xiao Fuzi led the way in front and was about to leave, when Old Chen Ju walked out of it.
"Yongzhen."
Zhang Ke turned his head sharply and hurriedly saluted the old eunuch.
"Father-in-law, what else do you command?"
"Hehehe, the answer is very good, the master is rarely so happy! The master wanted to hold a martial arts competition in Fengtai five days later, so that the prince and the courtiers could go to see it. ”
Wanli actually had the heart to see it for himself, but his body was really not good, he asked the prince and the courtiers to go, firstly, to boost the courtiers' morale, not to be frightened by Jiannu. In addition, it is also to promote Zhang Ke, as long as he leaves an impression in the hearts of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, especially the prince, it will be much easier to exhibit in the future.
This can be regarded as a great grace, Zhang Ke was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Please tell Your Majesty father-in-law, the minister will do his best!" ”
"Hmm!" Chen Ju's thin hand patted Zhang Ke's shoulder, and the little eunuch on the side was startled, and opened his mouth wide in surprise, when did the old ancestor ever be so kind to people, this young man is really not simple!
Chen Ju was unconscious, and said with a smile: "Our family showed Qi Shaobao back then, your forehead is wider than Qi Shaobao, the bridge of your nose is higher, the young man is ambitious, and the wealth is extensive, do it well, don't live up to the trust of the master!" ”
"The minister must learn from Qi Shaobao, and swear to die for the Ming Dynasty to level the east slave!" (To be continued!)
