********************************************************************

The court meeting is over, and it is natural for outsiders to see that there will be no confidential and important matters. When the ministers retreated, only cabinet officials, and high-ranking generals such as Ma Bao, began to discuss secrets.

"The Hetao area looks south to Guanzhong and the Central Plains, and is condescending, and it is really an important place for soldiers. If we want to ensure the security of Guanzhong and the Central Plains, our army will occupy them. ”

"The Hetao land occupies thousands of miles, its soil is fertile, it can be cultivated, it is difficult for the enemy to enter the combination of three sides, and it can be defended in a face battle."

"Shaanxi is in the upper reaches of the world, and those who control the life of the world are also, Shaanxi is in the world, and those who are Jews are in the head, and they will die if they suffer from the situation."

"The Hetao looks south of Guanzhong, and controls the head of the world. Those who get the Hetao go to the world, and those who lose the Hetao lose the world, the Hetao is safe, the world is safe, the Hetao is chaotic, the world is chaotic. ”

"The Tartars are not destroyed. Our army is fighting on two fronts, and I am afraid that we will not be able to catch it. ”

"The Chahar Department rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, and there was almost no pressure on the border walls such as Datong, Zhangjiakou, and Zunhua. Or concentrate your forces and wipe out the Tartars in one fell swoop. ”

"Money and food are insufficient, and the northwest can postpone the offensive. Since the envoy has the sincerity to ask for the pot cloth, it is advisable to make peace with the market first. And Huayi is both beneficial. ”

Each expressed his own opinions, and the cabinet ministers, Ma Bao and other generals expounded their opinions from their own perspectives and departments.

As far as the current situation is concerned, even if it does not increase its troops, the Northwest Military Region will have a good chance of winning if it only deals with the Urat Division. Zhu Yongxing did not have to eliminate the Urat Department, as long as he restored Daning (Ningcheng County, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia), Dongsheng (Ordos Prefecture, Inner Mongolia), Kaiping (Duolun, Inner Mongolia) and other defense posts in the early Ming Dynasty, and mastered part of the Hetao defense. He will be satisfied for the time being.

Daning and Kaiping are not suitable for occupation at present, because they are nomadic areas of the Chahar department. There was no threat, and Zhu Yongxing did not want to lose this anti-Qing ally.

In this way, only Dongsheng remains. The Ming army in the northwest has recovered Yulin, and it is very close to Dongsheng (Ordos region of Inner Mongolia). But judging from the whole shape, if the war starts again in the northwest because of this, and it drags on for a long time. The two-front battle has indeed put tremendous pressure on the finances.

Thinking about it a little deeper, although the Ulat Ministry is not strong, it is one of the members of the Ulanqab League. If they take action, how will the members of the Siziwang tribe, the Maomingan tribe, and the Khalkha right-wing tribe (i.e., the Darhan Banner) of the Ulanqab League react?

"The original strategy was to supply Ganxi with money and grain from Sichuan and Hunan before this year's harvest. The Northwest Military Region does not have the conditions to fight a big war and a protracted war. After listening to the opinions of the ministers, Zhu Yongxing said in a deep voice: "Maybe the attack is a little reluctant, but the defense should be no problem." Almost all the Mongolian ministries have asked for the market, can we make a fuss based on this? If the border city is opened in Dongsheng, can our army take it without a fight? ”

Zhu Yongxing's meaning is very clear, he also does not want a large-scale war in the northwest, but Dongsheng is the cornerstone of entering the Hetao, if he can be lured through the guΓ² mutual market and force the Urar Department to give up, it is naturally the best thing.

"Long live, the imperial court can send eloquent lobbyists to divide and disintegrate the Ulanqab League, and the Ular Ministry will inevitably be difficult to support alone." Speaking of strategic issues, Ma Bao had obviously studied the situation of the Mongol tribes, and Zhu Yongxing's jaw was greatly disturbed.

"Lobbyist, I think it's more appropriate to call him a diplomat." Zhu Yongxing said with a smile: "The Ulanqab League is only one of them, the Mongolian tribes in the south, north, and west of the desert must be contacted, or co-opted, or provoked, or supported, or suppressed, or lured by the city, or suppressed by soldiers, and always make the northern Xinjiang peaceful, and try to use it for my use." As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Ye Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of State Security.

"Long live the kick-starter." Ye Hu bowed down and replied: "The Beijing intelligence station has been in the north for the longest time, and it has built Datong, Zhangjiakou and other sub-stations, Wu Laodao, Yang Qilong and others are all shrewd people and can use them. ”

Zhu Yongxing pondered for a moment and said: "Walking in the desert Mongolia, the Han people are quite inconvenient, if it is a lama, it seems more suitable." ”

"Hooray, it's not that difficult." Ye Hu smiled: "It is not a day that the Ministry of State has selected and trained among the Mongol prisoners in previous battles and sent them to lurk, and at this time, they can all be dispatched. In addition, it is also possible for Han people to disguise themselves as lamas. ”

"Well, the reward should be rich, and make them admire me and be proud of being a citizen of the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Yongxing admonished and said, "Draw up a complete plan and present it to me." ”

"Yes, Wechen obeys."

"Give Annan a heavier reward, so that they feel that they are okay for the time being." Zhu Yongxing turned to Chen Shaoyu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, "The officials below don't have to know this, you just need to know." ”

"Yes, the minister will not leak the news here."

went north to Dingdu, and the noise was noisy, which could be regarded as a smokescreen for Annan Zheng's family. Under the shape of the northward shift of the strategic center of gravity, the Zheng clan of Annam probably did not expect that the Ming army would soon attack him.

"Well, there doesn't seem to be any decent city outside the city, right?" Zhu Yongxing touched his chin thoughtfully, and his leaping thinking made all the ministers stunned, "I want to help them build a few big cities, you say, is there a need for this?" ”

"The country's finances are tight, and the construction is still for outsiders, I'm afraidβ€”" Yicheng, the head of the household department, hurriedly admonished.

Ma Bao, Ye Hu and a few other people were thoughtful, knowing that this idea was by no means simple and could not be thought through. He did not speak lightly.

"Hehe, it's not right away." Zhu Yongxing smiled and waved his hand, and said meaningfully: "Chengchi, it looks majestic, and it is comfortable to live in." If it is said that Dongyu is a wolf, it is not easy to fight when he runs around. It would be easy to do if it was circled. Siege city, our army still has enough means. If the city is repaired and fought, our army can gather and annihilate it; On the other hand, if it is defended, it is a strong barrier. Well, it's not just for them to build, but it's also for us to build. ”

"Your Majesty is wise." Ye Hu's eyes lit up, and he preemptively complimented: "The difficulty of nomads lies in the word "nomads." If I settle down, how can I be hit by my army? ”

"That's a great plan." Ma Bao smiled and nodded again and again, and said: "There was a naturalized city in the decent city outside the Saiwai, but it has now been destroyed in the war, and if the imperial court helps to rebuild, the Dongyu will be grateful." If there is a war, this city will be not only a place where the eastern captives will be defeated, but also a strong base for me to hoard food and gather troops. It's a win-win. ”

"This is just a building, just reveal some rumors first." Zhu Yongxing was very proud. If Guihua City (now Hohhot) is built, it will be occupied by the Ming army sooner or later, and helping them repair it is essentially repairing it for themselves, and they will not suffer at all.

This is the difference in the length of vision, and this is the difference in the perception of whether the ideal is lofty or not. Many people will be satisfied with the current territory. But Zhu Yongxing is different, mine has to be taken back, and yours, I will also go and snatch it back.

Of course, this is a long-term plan. Zhu Yongxing will not tighten his belt now, and immediately go to help Dongyu repair the city. Moreover, repairing the city is not just a matter of the Ming court's family, the Mongolian tribes have to have manpower, but also have some material resources, it seems that the price is not too big to get a big city, but in the end it helped the Ming Dynasty build a base for advancement.

"Long live Qi Song, Wei Chen thinks that the Forbidden City is majestic, magnificent, and solemn, long live the true dragon son of heaven, and he should live in the Purple Palace, and govern with virtue, then the Quartet will be naturalized, and the eight sides will come to the court, and the country will be forever." Dali Temple Zhengqing Guo Zhiqi bowed and played.

Oh, Zhu Yongxing was stunned, temporarily living in Zhongnanhai is a matter that has been determined, why did this old Guo Tou change his mind again.

"Hooray." Guo Zhiqi saw Zhu Yongxing groaning, and hurriedly said: "The Forbidden City has been a place for the emperor to feast and live for hundreds of years, and there are indeed people who have been unjustly killed. However, the centuries-old house and the old hall have no yin qi? Ask the monk to make it a water and land dojo, and there will be no obstacle to overcrossing and overcrossing. ”

"I'm not afraid of any yin qi or anger." Zhu Yongxing smiled, patted the Sumeru throne, and said, "It's too big, it's uncomfortable to live in." At present, the financial situation is tight, and how many palace people are needed to live here is too expensive. Well, let's keep it as it is, and we'll talk about it later. Well, I'm a little tired, and if I don't have anything else to do, I'll go away. ”

Guo Zhiqi bowed down and retreated with some helplessness, and retired with the other ministers.

……………

Zhongnanhai is the joint name of Zhonghai and Nanhai, located on the west side of the Forbidden City, south of Aoyu Bridge, with an area of about 1,500 acres, including 700 acres of water surface. Formerly known as Xiyuan, in ancient times, Zhongnanhai has always been the palace and banquet place of the feudal emperors of the dynasties.

The final finalization of the architectural ensembles of Zhongnanhai and Beihai began in the Ming Dynasty. After the Ming Dynasty set the capital of Beijing, the palace city of the Ming Dynasty moved to the south on the basis of the location of the palace of the Yuan Dynasty, so the city wall of the imperial city also moved southward, in order to enrich the garden landscape of the imperial city, the South China Sea was excavated, and the earthwork excavated and the earthwork of the Guanzi River were piled up into Wansui Mountain (i.e., Jingshan).

There are quite a lot of buildings in Zhongnanhai, the famous one is Ziguang Pavilion: it is located in the north of the west coast of Zhonghai, the pavilion is two floors high, the face is seven rooms wide, the top of the single eaves palace is large, the yellow cut edge is green glazed tiles, there are five roll sheds in front of the top of the mountain to hug the building. There is a Wucheng Hall behind the Purple Light Pavilion; There is also located in the east coast of the Zhonghai Wanshan Palace, the Ming Dynasty for the pepper garden, formerly known as the Chongzhi Palace; There are a thousand temples behind the Wanshan Palace, and the Water Cloud Pavilion is located in the west of the Wanshan Palace, which is a pavilion that dwells on the water.

The South China Sea is located in the south of the Zhonghai Sea, bounded by the Centipede Bridge, and most of the main buildings are concentrated in Yingtai. Yingtai is called "South Terrace" in the Ming Dynasty, there is a stone bridge in the north and is connected with the shore, the south of the bridge is Renyao Gate, the south of the door is Xiangluan Pavilion, the main hall is seven, the left and right extension building is nineteen rooms; Further south is the Hanyuan Gate, and the main building of Yingtai is the Hanyuan Palace. There are two matching halls in the north of Hanyuan Palace, the east is Qingyun Palace, and the west is Jingxing Palace; The buildings on both sides of the south of the hall, the east is the Zaoyun Building, the west is the Qisi Building, and the northeast is the Moon Xuan and the Mirror Light Pavilion.

It is not only a residence, but also a garden, with mountains and rivers, and a wide field of vision, Zhu Yongxing likes this architectural style. Although the Forbidden City is majestic and magnificent, it lacks a fresh and relaxed feeling because of its heavy palaces and pavilions.
