Don't mention the matter of potatoes and sweet potatoes, just talk about Zhu Youcheng, after dealing with Xu Guangqi, don't have lunch, and go straight to the military headquarters to deal with the gunner's affairs. The three major battalions of the Beijing Division are related to national defense, and if they procrastinate and use these soldiers who still belong to the three major battalions without explanation, and are impeached for disobedience, then they will be wronged.

When he entered the lobby of the Ministry of War, he couldn't help but be happy when he saw the book of the Ministry of War. It turned out that the secretary of the military department was his old acquaintance - Li Chunye. Speaking of Li Chunye, he can be said to have known each other for two lifetimes - this life and the previous life. In his last life, he traveled to Taining, Fujian Province and visited his mansion - Taining Shangshudi. After more than 300 years of wind and rain, the original owner Li Chunye has been dead for many years, but Shang Shudi has gone through the baptism of the years and witnessed the wind and frost of the times, but he is still stubbornly standing. There is also a statue of him in Shang Shudi, of course, there is no resemblance to the real people in this life. On the streets of Taining, there is also a bronze statue of him writing a letter of resignation, saying that in order to serve his mother, who was declining, he resolutely resigned and retired at the peak of his life. However, according to an amateur Ming history expert, a companion who traveled in his previous life, Li Chunye's service to his mother was an excuse, and the greatest possibility was that he was scared away. Because the fate of the military department Shangshu at the end of the Ming Dynasty was not good, his predecessor Gaodi, the military department Shangshu, was beaten to the border of Liaodong, if he didn't leave, he was afraid that he would have to follow him to Liaodong.

Sure enough, Li Chunye couldn't see the pride of the spring breeze after his promotion, only deep worry.

Seeing Zhu Youcheng come in, Li Chunye was in good spirits and stood up to greet him.

After listening to Zhu Youcheng's intentions. Li Chunye patted his chest and packed the ticket, saying that other military department books may not be able to help him, but he will definitely help him do it properly. Because he is not ordinary. He also "assisted the Beijing battalion Rong Zheng", that is to say, he had the final say in the three major battalions of the Beijing Division.

After signing the document in the hall, Li Chunye asked with a smile: "Buddy is very good to you?" Now buddy is in trouble, you can't help it. ”

"Master Li, please say something, as long as you can do it, Xiao Ke will definitely do it."

Heard Zhu Youcheng's reply. Li Chunye pulled him into the secret room, and said with a sad face: "Master Zhu must save the lower official." ”

Zhu Youcheng is from the fourth grade. Li Chunye is a positive second grade, and from where he talks about it, he can't talk about the word "lower official". Zhu Youcheng hurriedly said: "You are Shangshu, how can you call yourself an official to me?" ”

"Hi. Master Zhu, don't pretend to be confused. The emperor put you in charge of the two courts, and now the court and the army are full of your students, and with the increase in the number of students, Lord Zhu's power will definitely skyrocket. Moreover, Master Zhu is also a scholar of Longtu Pavilion, an ironclad cabinet elder, and the subordinate just called an adult in advance. ”

Zhu Youcheng knew that his future entry into the cabinet was basically an open secret, and he was not hypocritical, and he did not make a fuss about the word "lower official." Asked directly, "What trouble are you in?" ”

"It's not this unlucky Shangshu who is harmed. I was originally a Shaoqing of Taipu Temple, in charge of Ma Zheng, and I was conscientious. Meng Wei's father-in-law did not give up and was promoted to the left squire of the military department. Gao Di is tall and strong, and the lower officials originally had no future. However, a few days ago, Lord Gao Di was ordered to move to Liaodong Jingluo in a critical situation. Of course. Because the land of Liaodong has been lost, the accurate official position of the tall man in Liaodong should be Jiliao Jingluo. Because the DPRK and China cannot go without a military department for a day. As a result, this unfortunate errand fell on my head. ”

Zhu Youcheng said: "The military department is still the book, the second product, in charge of the world's military affairs, high and powerful, even Xiao Ke has to borrow dà people from time to time, how can it be said that it is an unlucky errand?" ”

"Lord Zhu is right, if Liaodong is fine, the military department is indeed a beautiful book, but now Liaodong is restless, and it is difficult to be a military department. Liaodong is safe and sound, and the military department should be in order; Liaodong suffered a defeat, and the military department Shangshu was about to be unlucky. But Liaodong has been defeated year after year, why is this? Master Zhu is not an outsider, so I'll make it clear. The fundamental reason for the defeat in Liaodong was the self-respect of raising thieves. At that time, the two famous generals - Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang guarded the frontier. Qi Jiguang defended the city well, so the Tartars did not dare to attack his defensive line, and the credit was great, but the battle achievements were few; And Li Chengliang basically does not defend the city, the Tartars have repeatedly violated his borders, and he is very capable of fighting, every fight will win, defending the city is useless, but the war achievements are great. Later, Qi Jiguang was transferred out of Jizhen, and Li Chengliang's family in Liaodong was dominant, and the reason was that Li Chengliang raised thieves. Li Chengliang is a very greedy person, and it is not as effective as accepting bribes from Jiannu to withhold military salaries and swallow up booty, so he indulged Jiannu and led the rise of Jiannu. Later, Li Chengliang was transferred out of Liaodong, and although the successor Liaodong Economic Strategy was not good at military, his greed was no less than Li Chengliang's, and he continued to raise thieves, and finally led to the first battle of Salhu, and our army was defeated. Although the later Liaodong Jinglu made great efforts, his subordinates had already developed a habit of raising thieves, and they were bent on making money, and they had no intention of fighting Jiannu at all. Don't adults think it's strange? Some armies in the Ming Dynasty are as weak as rabbits, but once they mutiny, they are as fierce as a tiger and as cunning as a wolf, which is caused by this. You say, can you still win a war with such a team? But the court doesn't care, as long as it loses the battle, it is the responsibility of me, the secretary of the military department. Second, Sun Ge's old governor Liaodong is loyal to heaven and earth, but his old man's visit to Liaodong directly brought two evil consequences, the first is the well-known waste of money, and the second is to cultivate a large number of warlords. After Master Gao left, I sorted out the information of Liaodong and came to a conclusion that except for a few generals such as Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao, He Kegang and others, the troops in Liaodong were unreliable. Raise it, empty consumption of people's fat and people's ointment; If you don't raise it, you will turn around and follow the thief. With such a Liaodong army, can you still expect them to win the battle? ”

Zhu Youcheng stood up solemnly, made a deep bow to Li Chunye, and said, "Master Li is far-sighted and sagacious, and he is really a strategic genius. Xiao Ke admires it very much, and asks Master Li to accept my salute. ”

Li Chunye is an old fritter in officialdom, how dare he accept Zhu Youcheng's courtesy, and hurry up to help. But Zhu Youcheng is a martial champion, and his strength is comparable to that of Li Chunye, a scholar, so he still accepted a salute.

Li Chunye said again and again that he was embarrassed, but his heart was still very beautiful, and people always wanted to be affirmed by others. What's more, the person who affirmed him was still recognized as a genius in the world.

He continued: "Gao Di succeeded Ji Liao Jinglu and adopted a correct strategy. Since the generals of Liaodong are not credible, they will not defend Liaodong. All the Liaodong generals were transferred to the Guannei, so that the Liao generals and border generals were mixed and supervised each other, and there was no path to raise thieves or slaves, and Shanhaiguan would definitely be able to hold it firmly. However, Gao Di was militarily correct, but his politics were completely wrong. I can predict that the next step will definitely be to drown the tall man with the impeachment letter of the Imperial Historian. The tall man guards the Shanhaiguan. but stepped down because of victory. The next Ji Liao Jing is about to fall on my head. ”

"If Lord Li serves as the Jiliao Economic Strategy, how will he guard Liaodong?"

"What else. I must have followed the policy of the tall man, and then sat back and waited for the speech of the official to drown me out, and rolled up and went home. Lord Zhu, the lower officials are not greedy for money. Just the name, can't you say to Gonggong Wei and let me go into hiding? I don't want to be included in the "History of the Ming Dynasty" in later generations. ”

Zhu Youcheng laughed loudly and said, "If I hadn't had a deep discussion with Master Li, I would have almost missed a talent." Lord Li, I guess if I don't help, will you go to the court next and ask for a minister? Reason. Let's just say that my mother is old and frail, and there is no one to take care of her. After returning to your hometown, you cut off contact with Father-in-law Wei. Pretending not to be a member of the eunuch party, a few years or more than ten years later, the eunuch party will fall, and Master Li is still a famous minister of the Qing Dynasty, maybe there will be a chance to make a comeback, of course, you have to wait until Liaodong is pacified. Or when you can stay away from unlucky official positions such as the military department. ”

Li Chunye's color changed in horror, and he said with admiration: "Zhu ...... Master Zhu. How do you know? Are you really the stars descending to earth, knowing 500 years and 500 years below? ”

"It's just speculation. There are only two excuses for officials, one is that they are old and frail, and the other is that their family members are old and frail. With Lord Li cherishing feathers so much, it must be an excuse for his mother to take care of him, so that in the Ming Dynasty, which respects filial piety and courtesy, he can still win a full house. Master Li has a long-term vision and knows that flowers are not red for a hundred days, and people are good for a thousand days. Gonggong Wei is now calling for wind and rain, and there is no difference between the DPRK and China for a while, but there will always be a day when it will fall and fall. Wouldn't it be bad if you didn't cut it early and settle the account when the nest was covered. ”

Li Chunye was shouting in his heart at the moment, forgetting that Zhu Youcheng was a talented man and saved Gonggong Wei from danger several times, and confiding his true feelings to him today is not equivalent to telling Wei Zhongxian the truth? Although Gonggong Wei is good to himself, he is also a person who will repay him, and it seems that he will not have a good life to live in the future. It's really that the mutton didn't eat it, but it made a mess.

Zhu Youcheng continued: "Lord Li, please rest assured, Grandpa Wei is Grandpa Wei, and Grandpa Zhu is Somebody Zhu, what I know, Grandpa Wei may not know." However, I will definitely interrupt the matter that Lord Li asks for Zhishi. Daming does not lack tactical talents, but it lacks strategic talents. The civil and military forces are obsessed with the gains and losses of one city and one place, and cannot see the overall battle situation. Only Master Li jumped out of conventional thinking and observed Liaodong from a strategic height. It's really rare. You have such a good insight to retreat to the mountains and wilderness, this is a crime against the country and the nation. ”

Li Chunye was moved in his heart and said, "Isn't there no way? When I took the imperial examination, I also had the idea of serving the country with loyalty. But the bloody facts tell me that the premise of serving the motherland is to take care of yourself, otherwise the country will not report it, but will put yourself in it. ”

Zhu Youcheng groaned for a while, and decided to tell him the truth: "Since you are telling me the truth, then I will also tell the truth, Gaodi's strategy for withdrawing troops was decided by the emperor, so the impeachment of civil officials and military generals can only make Gaodi be reprimanded by the emperor at most." You don't have to worry about Gao Di leaving, you carry the black pot. This black cauldron is ordained, and you can't carry it if you want to. With me and Father-in-law Wei to protect me, Gao Di would have to stay in Shanhaiguan for four or five years. As for four years later, after the Ming Dynasty basically solved the problem of famine in the northwest, this official will personally lead the troops to exterminate the Jiannu, you just have to be your military secretary with peace of mind. ”

"Really?" Li Chunye asked a little puzzled.

"Are you trying to ask if the first half of my words are true, or if the second half is true? Regarding the first half, you don't have to doubt it, because it was the official who came up with the idea to let Gao Di carry the black pot. As for the second half, many people thought that I would collapse Cangzhou City, but as a result, it was 2,000 and 50,000. ”

Li Chunye's heart was full of sorrow, and he laughed. As the saying goes, when the sky falls, there is a tall man who resists, and he always thought that he was the tall man, and now the existing person is taller than him.

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, talked about laughter, talked about the history of the capital, and talked about celebrity anecdotes. To be honest, men's gossip can be far away from women, but men's gossip has a nice name, which is called pointing the country and commenting on the world.

Just as the two were talking happily, a soldier knocked on the door and said, "Urgent report." Ji Liao Jing is slightly higher, and the first tall Lord has something to report to the Ministry of War, Li Chunye, Lord Li and the secretary of the two courts, Zhu Youcheng Zhu! (To be continued)
