"Ridiculous!"

Before Chen Xun could reply, He Pingyan stood up and looked at Shen Yichen and scolded angrily.

"The Luchuan incident has risen again, Wara is eyeing the tiger, and now that the treasury is empty, the people are suffering, and you plan to commit tyrannical acts to embezzle the three guards of Wuliang Ha."

"When this matter is reported to the vassal states, how will they think of my Heavenly Empire, without the order of tributary etiquette and music, how different is it from the barbarians of the Tartars?"

In the face of He Pingyan's opposition, Shen Yichen was too lazy to deal with it, this is Confucianism has read his brain badly, and the standard set of rotten Confucianism rules the world with etiquette, and it is a waste of saliva to say too much.

He simply arched his hand towards Chen Xun and continued: "Yuanfu, the matter of conquest of Wuliang Ha Sanwei, Xia Guan has discussed with Da Situ and has been approved by the other party, and now it should enter the budget planning stage. ”

"Warat is also ambitious, and his goal is definitely not only to annex the Tatar Khan, but also the three guards of the Uliangha and the Jurchens, and eventually they will all become vassals of the Warat. Instead of letting the enemy expand his own power, it is better to seize the horse breeding land of Wuliang Ha Sanwei in advance, and after accumulating strength, he will be wiped out in one fell swoop! ”

Shen Yichen directly moved out Jin Lian, the head secretary of the household department, and clearly informed the cabinet chief assistant Chen Xun that the two sides had reached an agreement in private. And with Chen Xun's experience as an official, he will definitely be able to conclude that the cabinet and the ministry will join forces, and the emperor must have permission or acquiescence behind it.

The only thing that made Chen Xun feel incredible was what Shen Yichen did in private, not only to make Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji agree to lead the southern expeditionary army out of Beijing, but also to make the opposing camp of the household department Shangshu Jin Lian agree to plan the budget, and the imperial court sent troops to recruit Wuliang Ha Sanwei in a difficult period.

Officialdom pays attention to an equivalent exchange for many things, and what you get, you have to open the same amount of chips.

At present, Shen Yichen's military department squire and the identity of the Dongge University Scholar are the ones with the lowest official rank here, and the Duke of Chengguo behind him is now demoted to a commoner, and he can't provide enough help.

Could it be said that it relies on a three-inch tongue?

Before Chen Xun could figure out the deal behind it, He Pingyan spoke out again: "Shen Zhongtang is really a good means, even the iron-faced and selfless Da Situ can be used by you to conquer Wuliang Ha Sanwei." ”

"But even if the cabinet reaches a consensus, there has been a traitor like Zhu Ji in the Chengguo Mansion, and Shen Zhongtang has a lot of connections, so theoretically it should be avoided suspicion, right?"

After saying that, He Pingyan arched his hand towards Chen Xun, who was seated, and said: "Yuanfu, the lower officials think that if it is necessary to conquer the three guards of Wuliangha, it is more appropriate for the commander of the army to be Zhang Xu, the right governor of the British government. ”

"Zhang Dudu was already in charge of the Beijing camp, and in the ninth year of orthodoxy, he also followed Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, out of the fortress to Felt Hat Mountain, and had rich experience in crusading against Wuliang Ha Sanwei."

"There is no shortage of identity, qualifications, prestige, and military exploits, and among the ministers, Zhang Dudu is unsurpassed!"

I have to say that He Pingyan was born to be an official and engage in political material, and when he heard Shen Yichen say that he had discussed with Jin Lian and reached a consensus, he knew that the matter of conquest of Wuliang Ha Sanwei was inseparable.

Since it is impossible to object, then derive the maximum meaning from it for one's own people. It is obvious that Shen Yichen recommended Zhu Yi as the leading commander, and his selfish intentions were simply written on his face, wanting to control the military power and expand his influence in Beijing.

With the passage of time, it can be said that when the two camps are approaching a showdown with each other, Wu Qinghou Shi Heng has not given a clear response so far, so he can only use the existing strength to continue to grow and expand.

Although He Pingyan is not the core figure in the struggle for imperial power, even his uncle Wang Zhi, the heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, is far less involved than Huichangbo Sun Zhong and others.

But He Pingyan is not a person who is willing to be lonely, as early as the founding of the Gongxing Society, he had the ambition of being a very popular minister. If there is no earth-shattering merit such as dragon merit or restoration, there is a high probability that this generation will be steadily suppressed by Shen Yichen.

This kind of result is not acceptable to He Pingyan, he hopes to be able to sell the right governor Zhang Xuan to gain a face, join the inner circle of the Emperor Taishang's faction, so that the chicken dog will ascend to heaven after the completion of the restoration.

"The matter of conquest of the three guards of Uliangha is very important, and everything must be submitted to His Majesty for decision, and this official has no right to interfere."

Chen Xun naturally understood in his heart what Shen Yichen and He Pingyan were fighting for, but even if you were the first assistant of the cabinet in this kind of thing, you still didn't have the ability to meddle in the decision.

"Now let's get back to business, according to Shen Zhongtang's meaning, I plan to reject the intention of repairing in the Wara State Book?"

Chen Xun's inquiry made the corners of Shen Yichen's mouth show a mocking smile, no wonder throughout the Jingtai Dynasty in history, the obscurity of the first assistant of the cabinet was completely covered by Yu Qian, who was the secretary of the military department.

Indeed, at the critical moment, there is no decisive and decisive decision alone, not only is Wara Guoshu repairing this matter, but also discussing the candidate for the commander of the three guards of Uliangha, in fact, if it is properly grasped, it can also be exchanged for huge political benefits.

"Not only refusing to repair, the Mongolian crown prince Meng Ke is in Daming, and he is currently the heir of the golden family's bloodline. What qualifications did Warat have to annex the entire Tatar region in the name of taking revenge for the Mongol Great Khan, and then even proclaimed himself the Great Yuan Heavenly Sage Khan? ”

"The lower official suggested that the imperial court should respond to the document, and should inform the world that the world Warat Taishi should also not act first, and conspire to usurp the throne of the khan. And let His Majesty, in the name of the co-lord of the world, crown Mengke as the new Mongol Great Khan, and then send it to Liaodong Metropolitan Division to use his identity and influence to gather the old Tatar tribes and the Mongolian tribes who were unwilling to submit to Yexian. ”

"The Ming side can provide money, food, equipment, and even camp support, and in order to avoid the eventual breeding of tigers, Mengke's soldiers and horses at all levels are served by the officers and soldiers of the Liaodong Army. In addition, a group of scholars from Guozijian and county schools in various places were sent to Liaodong to teach the culture of the Tatar soldiers and horses of the Han family, so as to complete the real royal Taoism. ”

"When the day comes, I will completely conquer the Wolf Juxu of the Warat Department, and there will be no more Tartar barbarians in the northern Ming Dynasty, only my people of the Ming Dynasty!"

The essence of any fetters policy and the transformation of the land is actually two words - assimilation.

Under normal circumstances, it is necessary to use the means of war to achieve the conquest of the enemy, so that the other party can obey their own civilization and orders. Now with the trump card of Meng Ke, it is completely possible to cultivate a vassal army belonging to the Ming Dynasty in the hometown of Liaodong Dusi and even Wuliang Ha Sanwei.

And in order to avoid following in the footsteps of the Tatar official policy of Wuliang Ha Sanwei, and using Confucian scholars or scholars to spread Han culture, books and books are on the same track to solve the drawbacks of repeated horizontal rebellions from the root.

Although Shen Yichen didn't want to admit that there was a cruelty of "razing to raze" in building a vassal army, the Central Plains Dynasty, which had been expanding for thousands of years, had learned with countless blood and historical experience that this was one of the most effective and least loss-making means.

But at least Shen Yichen still thought about Wang Dao's education, and did not carry out the iron-blooded means to the end, you must know that in the military reports of the Ming army's early exploration of the Southwest War, you can often see descriptions like this.

"The Ming army recruited seedlings and captured 5,000 boys."

In a sense, this is why the southern territory is much more stable than the north.

It is because of the factors of instability that all of them have been reduced to a piece of text in the history books.

Shen Yichen's words came out, and in exchange for the expressions of the ministers in the Wenyuan Pavilion, the level of shock and surprise was no less than the idea of knowing that he wanted to fight in the south and the north.

This kid's original intention in his bones was to completely wipe out the Tartar Wolf Juxu, Zen in Guyan, and complete the great cause that Emperor Taizu Taizong had not achieved for decades.

If Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen could hear Shen Yichen's plan at this moment, it is estimated that he would feel very relieved in his heart, after all, he could prove one thing, that is, his hand-picked Sanyuan and First Vision were not wrong, and the other party did have a common goal with his ambition!

"Shen Zhongtang, in addition to conquering the Wuliang Ha Sanwei, you also plan to support the Tatar Department in Liaodong. With such a big move, are you really not afraid of thousands of miles of beacon fire in the northern Xinjiang, and the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty are full of wolf smoke? ”

Miao Zhen, who has always been conservative and steady, finally couldn't help but question in the face of Shen Yichen's arrogant fighting intent.

The ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, and Shen Yichen's plan seems to be comprehensive, but in fact, it leaks everywhere. One of the simplest difficulties is where does the money come from?

The Luchuan River in southern Xinjiang, the conquest of the Wuliangha Sanwei, and the support of the Tatar Department in Liaodong may have caused more than a two-front battle, at least a three-front start, and even a full-scale outbreak of war everywhere.

There is also famine and exorbitant taxes internally, the crisis of the Fujian rebellion was perfectly lifted by Shen Yichen, the rebellion of the Miao people in the Sichuan-Guizhou region is still one after another so far, and the people in the north are not living well, not to mention, it is completely an invisible powder keg.

Once disaster relief is in trouble, there is no guarantee that no one will rise up.

The silver taels spent to solve all these problems will be an astonishing astronomical amount, the picture is so beautiful that Miao Xin doesn't even dare to think about it, but Shen Yichen has the audacity to plan to do it.

It's just absurd!

"For the matter of money and grain, the subordinate ordered the soldiers and horses of the five cities to seize a number of grain shops in Beijing that raised prices, which can maintain the food and military expenses in various places in the short term."

"If you want to maintain martial arts for a long time, it is not an individual, but the rule of the entire Ming Dynasty!"

Shen Yichen said very clearly, he can provide a start-up capital for military expenses, and there is no need to worry about food and salary in a short time. However, if you want to have a full treasury at the root and no longer worry about military spending, it is not a problem that you can solve by yourself, and you need the entire ruling body to work together.

Only when the officials rule and the people live and work in peace and contentment can the soldiers be well-equipped and have no worries.

Otherwise, corruption is rampant, and the soldiers of the Nine Sides are worse than being called Huazi like in the late Ming Dynasty, what kind of battle can this kind of army win?

"Foolish dreams, what do you use to ensure that everything can go according to plan, if Wara is also angry and breaks through the Nine Border Defense Line again, who will bear the consequences?"

He Pingyan is public and private, and he is reasonable, and he can't agree with Shen Yichen's plan at this moment, this is completely a pipe dream that a madman came up with.

The scene of the Tartar soldiers coming to Beijing last year is still vivid, can this kind of crisis come again, can it be safely passed?

"Whoever proposes it will naturally bear the consequences."

Shen Yichen looked proud, the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty were not paper lakes, as early as when the grain was distributed to Liaodong, at the same time to Xuanda, Ningxia and other nine border defense lines to increase the food and salary, to ensure that the military salaries and silver on the border were sufficient and the morale was high.

The Ming Dynasty used more than 200 years of national fortune to demonstrate one thing, that is, the border army soldiers can do as much as you give, and the price is not deceitful. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the same group of people were called Huazi in the camp of the Ming army, and when they encountered the Houjin soldiers and horses, they were defeated at the touch of a button.

After changing the camp and joining the Houjin, the arrears of food and salary will be paid, and he will immediately become the "God of War", and sweep the Dashun Army and the Nanming soldiers and horses with the attitude of the vanguard army.

Shen Yichen is well aware of the limitations of the times, so whether he is in Shandong or Fujian, in addition to occasionally showing grace to impress people, he uses more simple and crude "money ability" to make double salaries.

For ordinary soldiers, it is better to hold a tael of silver in their hands to let their wives, sons and daughters have a full meal. Now almost everyone in the army knows that with Shen Zhongtang, you can have silver, you can eat rice and meat, and morale is so simple.

"It's up to you, can you bear it!"

The crisis of the country's demise was lightly described by Shen Yichen and said that he would bear it, which simply made He Pingyan angry.

However, this kind of raising the bar and sneering, as the saying goes, is not more than three, I saw Shen Yichen's expression instantly indifferent and said: "He Shaoqing, please pay attention to your identity and words, this cabinet department does not want to emphasize the "Ming Huidian" again." ”

"You ......"

He Pingyan subconsciously wanted to fight back, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't say anything.

Maybe he himself doesn't want to admit it, in the face of the indifferent threat of Shen Yichen, there is a kind of fear in his subconscious, and the other party will definitely not simply warn him.

"Okay, the same ministers are in the same room, wouldn't it be a joke to spread it!"

"This is the end of the Cabinet proceedings, and the opinions of your colleagues will be compiled and submitted to Your Majesty, and you will have to say more."

After all, Chen Xun still has the respect of Shoufu, and after his reprimand, Shen Yichen and He Pingyan are worthy of bowing their heads and apologizing: "Yes, Yuanfu." ”

"Let's go back to the duty room, and the cabinet department will go first."

After that, Chen Xun, who had a serious face, strode away first, and the answer brought by Shen Yichen in this discussion was far beyond his expectations, and he needed time to sort out and digest it.

The cabinet discussion was over, and on the other hand, Ruan Lang, the old eunuch who was ordered to serve the Emperor Zhu Qizhen, hurried to the South Palace with a lunch box on his face. Because he learned an extremely important news through the relationship in the palace, he must report it to the emperor as soon as possible.

Although the main gate of Nangong has been blocked, and even the keyhole of the door lock has been filled with lead water. But in fact, a small door was left for the eunuchs and palace maids to enter and exit to scout the emperor, and even the former concubines often entered and exited through the small door, conscientiously giving birth to the dragon species of Zhu Qizhen.

However, Ruan Lang's abnormal expression was soon discovered by the Jinyi Guard who was hiding in the shadows, and it didn't take long for this news to reach the ears of Lu Zhong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard.
