The military situation in the northwest became increasingly tense, and Zhu Si's generals Yang Tinghe and Jiang Mian, together with Peng Ze, the secretary of the military department, and Sun Jiao, the secretary of the household department, were summoned to the Qianqing Palace for discussion.

Zhu Si was very straightforward, and as soon as he came up, he gave a simple analysis of the military situation in the northwest to a few people.

「…… Although the Tatar cavalry withdrew from the pass at that time, but in the past few months, the Aries Pass has not been repaired, and it has not even been repaired, from the Aries Pass to Zhangjiakou in the north of Xuanfu and other places, there have always been Tatar attacks and harassments, originally the Tatars only threatened our outer passes, but after September, the Tatar cavalry drove straight into the Aries Pass, and in the front line of our Ming Xuanda as if entering a no-man's land, even the inner three passes were attacked and harassed by the Tatars one after another, and the warning signals were frequent......

The Northwest military intelligence is tense, and of course it is tense, but there is one good thing, and that is that the Tatars have barely breached any of the fortresses.

The Ming army cowered in the city, watching the Tatars loot unscrupulously outside the city, it can be said that the inner three passes of the horse pass, the Bauhinia Pass and the Juyong Pass, until the outer pass of this area, became the Tatar galloping "pasture", the Tatar cavalry in such a vast world to spread joy, the most fatal is the people living in the meantime, so in desperation, the people moved to the city fortress early or entered the south of the Neiguan Pass to avoid trouble.

Jiang Mian said: "Your Majesty, except for the destruction of Baiyangkou now, there is no warning sign of the fall of the rest of the city fortresses."

Zhu Si sighed and said, "It's not lost now, but it's too late when it falls, right?" I want to ask, could it be that the Tatars were so rude when the emperor was here?"

A question silenced the four top Wenchen present.

No matter how incompetent Zhu Houzhao is, no matter how much he is criticized, one thing is undeniable, that is, when Zhu Houzhao was in power, the northwest was generally calm, how could the Tatars dare to be so unscrupulous to spread wilderness in the Daming Pass?

Not to mention that the steppe was still under the rule of Dayan Khan at that time, and Zhu Houzhao had a head-to-head confrontation with Dayan Khan's men and horses, and did not suffer losses, and the Tatars did not dare to invade the border on a large scale for five years after that.

Now Zhu Houzhao, who is recognized as a "faint monarch" by the courtiers, is dead, replaced by a "Ming Jun", the government and the opposition are cheering to clear the clouds and see the moon, but the Tatars don't care about your set, what we Tatars are afraid of is the Zhengde Emperor in front of him, what Jiajing Emperor, is just a little kid from the side, not worth mentioning, at this time we don't come out to have fun, when will we wait?

Zhu Sidao: "Am I not even as good as the first emperor?"

This is like self-deprecation.

Seeing Zhu Si's gray face, Yang Tinghe couldn't help but come forward to comfort him: "Your Majesty doesn't need to be arrogant, the current situation in the northwest is all due to the chaos of the former emperor's time, and the female cadres are in charge, so that the armament in the northwest is lax, and the law and order do not exist, so that the foreign Yi can take advantage of it."

"That's what I said......

Zhu Sidao: "But I always feel in my heart that I am not good enough, although I want to be a king who keeps the success, but if the Tatars have violated my inner three passes, and I am still indifferent, then the next step, will the Tatars break through the inner pass, drive straight in, and kill my Jingshi?"

This point Zhu Si is really not presumptuous, the military and politics in the northwest during the Jiajing period are becoming more and more relaxed day by day, which also creates the great chaos of the Tatar soldiers and horses plundering the Beijing division in the later "Gengshu Change".

Yang Tinghe faced the little emperor who felt sorry for himself, and he didn't know what to say.

After all, the emperor has a sense of crisis, which is not a bad thing for the minister.

Zhu Si said, "I want to send people from the Beijing camp to rush to the aid of Xuanda to prevent the war situation from deteriorating further."

"Your Majesty......"

Yang Tinghe probably guessed that Zhu Si's previous words were foreshadowing, and when he heard Zhu Si's last words, he immediately spoke out against them.

Zhu Si looked at Yang Tinghe: "Elder Yang Ge, could it be that you have a better opinion?" Or do you think that the current situation in the northwest does not need to send additional men and horses to coordinate the garrison? If the inner three passes are attacked and disturbed, or if the stragglers of the Tatars suddenly assemble into a large army and kill in one place, I will definitely be able to hold the inner pass of the Ming Dynasty?"

Originally, Yang Tinghe wanted to have a good discussion with the little emperor, but when he heard this, he suddenly felt that the little emperor's attitude was different.

When Zhu Si first ascended the throne, Yang Tinghe would not

Hesitation continued to oppose until Zhu Si gave up the decision, but now ...... Yang Tinghe has been dealing directly with Zhu Si for a year and a half, and he has some understanding of the temperament of the little emperor, maybe this is a pit dug by the little emperor for him, waiting for him to jump into it?

Zhu Sidao: "In the court before, didn't you also discuss that going out of the northwest of the town with the people of Jingying is the best strategy at present? I think about it, I can't give up the thousands of people in the northwest just because I am in Beijing, the northwest is uneasy, the capital is in danger, if the northwest is peaceful, then even if there is only one empty city in the capital, it is foolproof."

As soon as these words came out, several Wenchen were impressed.

Your attitude towards guarding the country is quite magnificent, you are not greedy for life and afraid of death, and you can teach your children.

But the question is......

You are not afraid of death, we are afraid!

Why did you transfer troops and horses from the Beijing Division to Xuanfu, haven't the three sides already been transferred? In addition, it is also good that you transfer troops from Liaodong and other places.

Yang Tinghe was a little annoyed in his heart, he has now summed up his experience, but if Zhu Si calls them to the Qianqing Palace to talk about things, there must be nothing good, and now the little emperor wants to make his own opinion, although from the general situation, it is the right choice to transfer troops from Beijing to the northwest to help ensure the stability of the three inner passes such as Juyong Pass, Baoma Pass and Bauhinia Pass.

But Yang Tinghe still couldn't let the little emperor form a bad habit of skipping the court deliberations, making his own opinions, and then notifying the civil officials when he was done.

It should be us who come up with a strategy to inform you, and you just need to follow it...... Now Your Majesty, you are putting the cart before the horse!

The emperor should be held hostage by civil officials, not that we should be left or right for you!

This is actually the biggest contradiction between monarchs and ministers after Zhu Si ascended the throne.

Zhu Hao has been helping Zhu Si to promote the monarchy, while Yang Tinghe wants to put the monarchy in a cage...... Yang Tinghe is right, Zhu Hao knows that the power of the king cannot be too great, otherwise he will act indiscriminately, just like Zhu Houzhao is almost unrestricted.

But Zhu Hao had to come forward to help Zhu Si, because the interests of the two were completely identical, and how could the emperor really be willing to hand over his power to the minister? Zhu Hao came to help, so that Zhu Si felt that he had the bottom in his heart, and he did not fall behind in dealing with the aggressive offensive of the civil officials, so he regarded Zhu Hao as a minister of the humerus.

"A few Qing families, I want to send them as temporary governors, out of the town of the three passes of Downed Horse, Bauhinia, and Juyong, to oversee the affairs of the surrounding Jingshi to defend against the enemy, I don't know if you have any good recommendations?"

Zhu Si didn't hide it, and directly said his intentions.

Yang Tinghe's face was gloomy, he also expected that the emperor had been laying the groundwork for so long, and he should have this meaning, but now that the words are said directly, it is not too difficult to oppose it.

But he couldn't do what came out, so he glanced at Peng Ze.

Peng Ze, as the secretary of the Ming Dynasty's military department, has been criticized a lot since he took office, because the contradiction between him and Wang Qiong is almost irreconcilable...... Speaking of why the northwest has been safe and sound during Zhengde, on the one hand, Zhu Houzhao is very concerned about military politics, and secondly, there are geniuses like Wang Qiong among the ministers, who can suppress the group of demons and monsters in the northwest.

The struggle between Peng Ze and Wang Qiong, whether right or wrong, can even be said that Peng Ze still has the support of the civil official group and stands on the moral high ground, after all, Wang Qiong is close to Shechen, which makes Peng Ze "good" and Wang Qiong "evil".

But back to the most basic ability issue, Peng Ze is afraid that he can't compare to Wang Qiong, if Wang Qiong is still in the Ministry of War, it is estimated that the Tatars will not dare to attack, and you will not be able to come back if you come, what are the internal contradictions of the trilateral and Xuanda, with Wang Qiong here, who dares to talk nonsense?

At that time, Wang Qiong casually picked out one of his factions and stuffed it to the northwest, which can deter the overall situation with one person, just like Wang Bo'an, who was casually sent to Jiangnan by him, easily quelled the rebellion of King Ning, who would dare to go against Wang Qiong?

Peng Ze suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

Peng Ze said: "Your Majesty, if you send someone to defend the inner three passes, if there is a war between the inner pass and the outer pass, then ...... That...... Whose military order comes first? This is tantamount to causing chaos in the military and political affairs of the northwest, please think twice......

This is obviously what was said after being driven to the shelves, and it was not well thought out, so the argument does not hold water.

The Ming Governors are all temporary settings and factions

The purpose of going out is very clear, since the appointment is the governor of the inner three passes, then in the level of military dispatch, it is naturally lower than the governors of the outer passes such as Xuanda and Downma, but the problem is also here, if the Tatar target is still only the outer pass, the governor of the inner three passes does not have to do anything, and now the emperor has set the premise to prevent the Tatars from attacking the inner pass, so such a position was established.

Do you have a bad ear or a bad brain?

Does this need to be asked?

Zhu Si said coldly: "Peng Shangshu, I mean, to guard the inner three passes with important personnel, this piece was coordinated by the governor of Xuanda, but now that the governor of Xuanda is in Datong, I am afraid that the interpreter cars and horses will not be able to reach the inner three passes, but the inner three passes and the Jingshi are unimpeded, why do I want the governor of Xuanda to give orders to the inner three passes?" Something happened, Peng Shangshu, can you bear it?"

Peng Ze was speechless.

Zhu Si continued: "Let's just say this, the person I like is the Tang Qing family from the palace, that is, Tang Bohu, when he was in Anlu Prefecture, he used hundreds of royal soldiers to wipe out thousands of thieves, with his ability, it should not be difficult to deal with the Tatars, I trust him."

As soon as these words came out, even Sun Jiao frowned secretly.

Can the temporary leader of the Ping Thieves be compared to the powerful Governor of the Northwest? Your Majesty, you are really virtuous and do not shy away from your relatives, the ministers thought that you would beat around the bush again and recommend a bunch of people, but in the end, you didn't work, so you pushed Tang Yin out, but you came up and pushed Tang Yin directly?

Besides, others don't know about the battle of An Lu, don't I know about it? What hundreds kill thousands, you liar?

You can't fool the ghosts, and you still want to blind Yang Tinghe, you are blinded by lard.
