The boundless desert and the vast grasslands are the soil on which the nomads depend, and in this vast land, powerful nomadic regimes such as the Xiongnu, Turkic, and Khitan were born.

These powerful nomadic regimes and the Central Plains Dynasty were eternal enemies, and once they became strong, they would inevitably turn south, so that their lives would be ruined and their blood would flow.

For two thousand years, the Central Plains was fortunate to have a strong Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, which beat the fierce grassland regime all over the ground and finally disappeared in the rolling river of history.

Three hundred years ago, Genghis Khan rose in the desert, fought for half his life, dominated the steppe, and since then the iron hooves of the Golden Family have conquered almost all the city-states that can be seen.

The four khanates made the whole world tremble, and the soldiers passed everywhere, and the corpses were strewn all over the field, and the blood flowed like rivers!

The Jin Kingdom, which destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, fell under the hooves of the Mongolian iron horsemen, and was entangled with the Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years, which made the Great Song Dynasty have a headache and was wiped out.

It is also since Yashan, the Mongolian wolves have stolen from China, brazenly dividing the people into four classes, the caste system has replaced the Central Plains civilization, and the life of the lowest southerners is even equivalent to a donkey!

After a hundred years of humiliation, the Hongwu Emperor rose in the world, expelled the Tartars, swept away the demonic atmosphere, and finally restored the orthodoxy of China to the hands of the Han people.

However, the good times did not last long, in the face of the rise of Wara, Emperor Yingzong listened to the slander of the eunuch Wang Zhen, raised no 100,000 troops to conquer Wara, and finally failed miserably in Tumubao, and he was imprisoned as an emperor, and the vitality of the Ming Dynasty was lost.

In the battle to defend Beijing, if it were not for Yu Qian's efforts to turn the tide, I was afraid that the Han and humanitarian systems would be destroyed because of it, and the tragedy of the old Yuan would be repeated.

The Ming Dynasty is a country recaptured from the hands of the tyrannical yuan, but it is also a dynasty ravaged by the grassland peoples who have been wiped out and never perished, and any of the people of the Ming Dynasty, no matter which generation of emperors, have imagined that they can completely solve the problems of the grassland and restore the supreme glory of their ancestors.

But after all, you can only think about it.

In the Jiajing Dynasty, an incredible victory in Dushikou shocked the world, shocked the court, and repeatedly made the Ming Dynasty not very disturbed, and even the little prince of Warabu, who lost a large number of people, was severely defeated!

Just when the Manchu dynasty thought that the nine sides would be peaceful for at least a few years, the cabinet got a shocking news.

The general army of Xuanfu, mighty Zhu Shou summoned the elite cavalry of the six sides to go out!

One stone stirs up a thousand waves, for today's Ming court, seeking stability is the top priority, as long as the Mongols can not go south to Koubian, they should burn incense and worship the Buddha, and take the initiative to send troops?

It's not that Da Ming can't take the initiative to attack, but the risk of using swords is too great!

The grassland is vast, once it loses its way and cuts off supplies, it will be a catastrophe for the expeditionary army!

The most angry is Wang Qiong!

According to the system, any military action of the Ming Dynasty, the decision on whether to send troops is up to the emperor, but it does not mean that the emperor must have no constraints if he wants to send troops.

In a major military operation, the household department needs to prepare money and food, the cabinet needs to decide who to arrange to supervise the army, who needs to appoint the palace to supervise the army, and the military department needs to issue regulations for sending troops, and so on.

It can even be said that since the defeat of Tumubao in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's control of the army has been weakened to the extreme, and it can even be said that the only directly subordinate army that the emperor can really control is the three major battalions of the Imperial City Guards and the Forbidden Army.

Of course, a large reason for this situation may also be because the defeat of the civil fort has cast a shadow on the royal family, believing that soldiers are murder weapons, and if they are not touched well, they may lose their wisdom.

What's more, since the Tumubao, the power of the Xungui Jiangmen has suffered heavy losses, and the power of the Ming Jiangmen has directly lost the capital to fight against the civil official group, and for this reason, the power of the civil officials has also become unprecedentedly strong, restricting and even suppressing the imperial power.

Of course, the reason why it can be suppressed, the fundamental reason is still the emperor himself, the Ming Dynasty is not the Great Song Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty itself is a dynasty with a high concentration of imperial power, the Hongwu Emperor in order not to let the prime minister check and balance the monarchy, directly abolished the system of the prime minister, which has been inherited for thousands of years, and the civil officials want to restrict the emperor?

That had to be done willingly by the emperor.

If the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were really so powerful, they would not be completely subdued by eunuchs like Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian, and you must know that the emperor killed Liu Jin, a great eunuch who could suppress the world, was just a matter of one sentence.

Facing a dog released by the emperor, the whole court trembled, not to mention that the emperor had to roll up his sleeves and put the minister right.

During the Chongzhen period, the strength of the Donglin Party was unprecedentedly strong, but what could you do in the face of the emperor who didn't have much foundation?

In addition to splashing and rolling, it is a hard flicker, Chongzhen has changed dozens of cabinet chiefs and assistants in more than ten years, which shows how vulnerable the so-called civil power is in the face of the absolute imperial power with a righteous name, how ridiculous and worthless it is.

If Emperor Chongzhen could be shameless, the Ming Dynasty would not have fallen into such a fate so quickly.

Zhu Houwei, who knows a little about the history of the Ming Dynasty, knows very well that the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty seem to be very strong, but they are just a group of people who are fierce and inward-looking, they are like springs, as long as the king is strong enough and can give enough pressure, then it will not be too difficult for the Manchu Dynasty to be subdued.

In addition, Zhu Houwei knows too well the importance of military power and financial power to the king, it can be said that without the absolute support of the army, the emperor is the mascot in the eyes of the ministers, and without financial power, he is constrained everywhere, and he doesn't want to do anything.

Of course, even if the emperor can't absolutely control the army, the civil officials can't control it either, otherwise Liu Jin wants to subdue the court with Dongchang Fanzi?

The military department wrote a line, and the mobilization of a guard and horse could shoot Liu Jin into shit.

Don't say that mobilizing the army without permission is a rebellion, Confucianism still has a lot of direct ministers who have integrity and dare to sacrifice their lives for righteousness, if they mobilize the army to kill Liu Jin, what will happen?

It's nothing more than going to the guillotine and being beheaded all over the house.

Compared with the killing of Liu Jin and the Demon Guard, death is not worth mentioning at all.

But whether it is the period of Liu Jin or the era when Wei Zhongxian controlled the government, such a thing has never happened, not because the civil officials do not want to, but because they do not have that kind of power at all, to put it simply, without the will of the emperor, the army cannot be mobilized by the military department alone!

If you civil officials want to sacrifice their lives for righteousness, why should the soldiers die with you?

Wenchen sacrificed his life to take righteousness, maybe he can still be named loyalty, maybe he can be rehabilitated in the future, what about the generals?

Those who must die cannot die again, and it is the kind that cannot be turned over forever......
