Shen Yichen's praise for Yexian is sincere, you must know that in the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years ago, and still in a desolate place like Mobei, a barbarian chieftain in the eyes of traditional scholars, but he can clearly realize the importance of intelligence operations, and definitely has a strategic vision that spans the times.

As early as the Orthodox Dynasty, the Ming border pass and the Beijing division were all over the Mongolian spies, Yu Qian served as the governor of the military department, the first thing he did was to clean up the Tartars in the city of the Beijing Division, otherwise the deployment of troops would be equivalent to a transparent state in front of the first.

After so many years, Shen Yichen's raid on the Mongolian tribes can still be known in advance, and the arrangement of the transfer of tribal livestock has made the Ming soldiers and horses fall into the air, which really makes Shen Yichen a little amazed at the other party's ability.

In later generations, there is a word called master loneliness, there is no equal opponent in the same era, it is also a lonely thing, the existence of Tiansheng Khan also makes Shen Yichen meet opponents, only by defeating such a strong enemy will there be a sense of achievement!

"Yuanfu, now that the Southern Army of the Ming Dynasty and the Liaodong Army have failed in their surprise attack, the Western Expeditionary Army has been blocked in Chijin Mongolia, and the supply consumption in the late winter is very large, so I'm afraid the treasury won't last long."

Wang Wen was not in the mood to pay attention to Shen Yichen's feelings, he was more from reality, worried that the large-scale consumption of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses would cause the financial crisis of the court again. You must know that in the battle of Luchuan in the Orthodox Dynasty, the additional taxes led to civil unrest in the southwest and southeast, and there was almost no sign of the country's demise.

Now that two years have passed, Shen Yichen has begun to fight again, is he really not afraid that the rising momentum of Daming Zhongxing will die?

In the face of Wang Wen's questioning, Shen Yichen did not choose to deny it, but instead nodded in agreement: "Wang Zhongtang is reasonable, it is true that more than 70,000 soldiers and horses are now going out to conquer outside the Saiwai, coupled with the difficulties in logistics and transportation in winter, the financial pressure on the imperial court is quite great. ”

After saying this, Shen Yichen immediately changed his voice and said: "But if Da Ming does not maintain the offensive, it will be the entire nine-sided defense line, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses will have to wait for each other at all times, guarding against the possible offense of the Tartars at any time." ”

"There are still millions of border people who dare not farm and live in a state of panic with peace of mind, has Wang Zhongtang ever calculated the cost of this invisible loss?"

Many people in the Chinese military department of the DPRK only saw the cost of Shen Yichen's big move and did not achieve great results, so they thought that this was a move to work the people and lose money, but they often forgot that defense also required a great price, especially for the Central Plains dynasty like Daming, which had a border of thousands of miles in northern Xinjiang!

The root cause of the fall of the Ming Dynasty in history is that the finances of the entire country were dragged to death on the "Liao salary", and millions of soldiers and horses and hundreds of beacon fortresses in the north were like a bottomless pit that swallowed gold.

In the end, the root cause of the Ming Dynasty's demise was not that Shanhaiguan was captured by the Jurchen Iron Cavalry, but that the Dashun Dynasty founded by the peasant army Li Zicheng took the Beijing Division, and Wu Sangui had no allegiance, so he sold the first Xiongguan of the Ming Dynasty at a good price, and gave himself the reward of the king of the earth.

Of course, in the end, it is inevitable to be cut down, and he can't do it like the Mu family to Yongzhen Yunnan. Wu Sangui used his own deeds to verify that what is called a traitor cannot be trusted by the ruler.

From the moment he chose to rebel against Ming, this person no longer had the word loyalty at all.

But these are all later words, for the current Ming Dynasty, the biggest benefit brought by Shen Yichen's offensive and defensive changes is to avoid the embarrassing situation of the Son of Heaven guarding the country, so that the grand occasion of hoarding two or three hundred thousand soldiers and horses at every turn of the three major battalions of the Beijing Division has been compressed to about 150,000.

The effect of streamlining the administration of elite soldiers can not only greatly reduce the financial expenditure of the imperial court, but also prevent the three major battalions from becoming corrupt and degenerate, and become a pension camp for the children of the honorable relatives to brush up their qualifications.

It's just that these reductions in fiscal expenditures have been ignored by civil and military officials, who take it for granted. On the contrary, taking the initiative to go on expeditions, this kind of additional military expenditure has been stared at very conspicuously.

Shen Yichen's rhetorical question made Wang Wen not know how to answer for a moment, this is the biggest shortcoming of traditional civil officials, who like grand narratives full of big truths, but rarely counts the pros and cons in detail.

Wang Wen knows the hidden cost, he has not reprimanded Shen Yichen for being reckless and arrogant, and he knows that implementing the problem into the financial problem can already be regarded as a kind of progress.

But even if he didn't know, Wang Wen couldn't admit it in front of Shen Yichen, he immediately changed the topic and said: "Shen Yuanfu, there is no problem in maintaining the offensive, but does it mean that nothing like this can be regarded as a benefit more than a disadvantage?" ”

"No, if you want to solve the problem fundamentally, then you must first find out the spies at the top of the court."

Shen Yichen still has that cloudy and light-hearted attitude, his original decision to take revenge on the Tartars, in order to ensure the suddenness of the attack, did not even convene a cabinet meeting, and directly ordered it to be conveyed to Yu Qian, Nian Fu, and Xiao Yi.

As a result, after such an operation, it failed to prevent the leakage of military information, so that the Tartars had precautions in advance, and Shen Yichen was really a little surprised. In addition, it also shows one thing from the side, that is, the Tartar is in a very high position as a spy in the center of the Ming Dynasty, and can spy on the most core secrets.

"At the beginning, there were only three people in the ministry, Nian and Xiao, who did Shen Yuanfu think leaked the military secrets?"

Wang Wen is pressing step by step, his position is not in favor of going out from the beginning, and now Shen Yichen has messed things up, just enough to take advantage of the situation to end this farce. At the same time, this is not only Wang Wen's attitude alone, but the entire civilian official group, including He Wenyuan, basically believes that the soldiers are murderous weapons, and the contenders are against morality.

The reckless use of swords and soldiers is not in line with the fundamental Confucian way of benevolence and righteousness.

It's just that as soon as Wang Wen's words fell, the merchant sitting on the side directly denied: "It is impossible for the three ministers to leak military secrets, there must be someone else!" ”

Yu Qian, Nian Fu, and Xiao Yi are how they are, Shen Yichen is clear, and Shang Yi is also clear. If even these three people can be bought by the Tartars, then there will be no loyal ministers and righteous people in the Ming Dynasty.

"Who does Shang Zhongtang think it is?"

Wang Wen continued to get to the bottom of the matter, this kind of major strategic mistake must be handled by someone, otherwise how will the follow-up battle continue and end hastily?

"Colleagues are here to discuss matters, isn't it just to find out where the problem is, why should Wang Zhongtang be aggressive here."

Wang Wen's accountability behavior made Shang Shi feel a little dissatisfied, is this an attitude to solve the problem?

"Tens of thousands of soldiers are in a dilemma when they conquer outside the country, and the cabinet department is worried about the root cause of the country, can it be regarded as aggressive?"

Shang's words also ignited Wang Wen's emotions, he was kicked in the face by a young junior, do you think you are Shen Yichen?

Seeing that the two of them showed signs of spraying on the spot, Shen Yichen hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, the two of you are in the middle hall, the cabinet department has a way to deal with it, don't forget that there are also our spies inside the Tartars, and they are all under control of the mobilization of troops and horses." ”

"This time, the order of the cabinet department will not take the route of the military department's post station, but will be directly issued to the hands of the Yu Ministry, and it will definitely be able to plow the tent of the Tartar tribes, and maybe dig out the sweat tent of the chieftain!"

Shen Yichen's confident posture came out and suppressed the dispute between Shang and Wang Wen, but at this time Wang Wen still warned: "Yuanfu, the summer harvest season in the south will come soon, and the new policy of land tax will be implemented by the squires and landlords will greatly increase the tax amount. ”

"Da Zongbo has already received a lot of letters from officials, the content of which is basically full of complaints, if there is no progress in the conquest, I am afraid that it will trigger a new round of protest crisis inside and outside the government and the opposition."

"Although the cabinet does not agree with Shen Yuanfu's actions, no one in the government and the opposition can do a better job than Shen Yuanfu, please act carefully."

Shen Yichen agreed to Wang Wen's entry into the cabinet, on the one hand, he really did not have the ability to invoke senior and prestigious ministers into the cabinet, and on the other hand, he wanted to build a bridge of communication with the traditional civil official group in the cabinet.

After the Confucian thousand-year-old imperial examination system, you can't sweep away the old-school officials in just a few years, and they are bound to influence the court pattern for a long time to come.

Politics is always an art of compromise, and the court must also pay attention to balance to prevent a big one, even if this monopoly is the Shen Party, in the end there is no check and balance, it will inevitably deteriorate and repeat the mistakes of the past, which is similar to the evolution process of the Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty.

Obviously, Wang Wen's reminder means that Shen Yichen's idea of building a bridge is successful, and the two sides at least have a way to communicate, instead of directly fanning the official Shilin Shangshu for impeachment as before.

"Thank you Wang Zhongtang for reminding me, this cabinet will pay attention."

Shen Yichen thanked him, Wang Wen tapped his forehead and didn't say much, the internal deliberations have reached this point, which is equivalent to the end of the moment.

Almost at the same moment, thousands of miles away, in the camp of Chahar Wanhu, the tent of the Heavenly Sage Khan was stationed, and at this moment in front of him knelt several trembling Mongolian nobles, as well as a pair of young mothers and sons.

There was already a warm spring sun on the grassland, but the atmosphere in the sweat tent was like three feet of ice, and the Heavenly Saint Khan also looked at the few people in front of him with an iron face, and asked in a tone mixed with anger and resentment: "Why do you want to betray Ben Khan, why do you want to betray Immortal Heaven!" ”

That's right, not only did Shen Yichen realize that there were conspiracy inside, but Tiansheng Khan had already deduced that he had Ming State details in his interior from the decisive retreat of the Western Expeditionary Army led by Shi Heng, the Duke of Zhongguo, a few months ago, and began to investigate.

After this period of investigation and analysis, I finally found out the spy who passed the information to Ming Guo and didn't accept it at night, but what I didn't expect was that they were actually my relatives and sister's nephew!

The pain caused by the betrayal of relatives is far more intense than that of outsiders, and if other people are found to be spies, they will first estimate that they will directly dismantle the other party, and they will not bother to interrogate them again.

But the identities of these people in front of them must first find a reason, why did they betray themselves and betray the country!

"The Great Khan spared his life, we were deceived and deceived by the Ming State spies, and we didn't know that the purpose of mobilizing troops and horses was to encircle the Western Expeditionary Army, and we really didn't think about betraying the Great Khan and the Immortal Heaven!"

One of the Mongol nobles, who was kneeling, crawled to Yexian's feet with tears in his eyes, hoping that the Great Khan would spare him this time. It's just that this kind of prayer will only make him more disgusted and disgusted for Ye Xian, and without the slightest hesitation, he pulled out the saber on his waist, and a stream of blood splashed out of his hand, and the heavy smell of blood spread in the sweat tent, making the atmosphere a little more terrifying in the cold.

"Batyr, you are the cousin of Ben Khan, and you are the warrior of the Mongols."

"Tell Ben Khan why he became a traitor!"

At this time, he also set his eyes on a Mongolian strong man in front of him, there was still a blood relationship between the two of them, and at the same time, the other party had been fearless of death on the battlefield, and it was impossible for him to be bought by the interests of the Ming Kingdom.

Perhaps realizing that begging for mercy had no effect and that he could not escape the inevitable death today, the Mongol general named Batel straightened his waist and replied in a resolute tone: "Great Khan, I am your cousin, and I am a member of the Asuth tribe. ”

"You shouldn't have killed your sibling Boyan Timur, and you shouldn't have cut off the Asut Department that the old lady had divided!"

Just as Shen Yichen implemented reforms and changes that touched the interests of the traditional scholar class, Tiansheng Khan also implemented the reform of ten thousand households first, which in a sense also violated the rights and interests of traditional Mongolian nobles.

Originally, they had an independence similar to that of the "king with a different surname", and only needed to occasionally obey the conscription of the Great Khan, and usually did not accept the direct jurisdiction of the Khan. However, the Manhu Reform abolished the authority of these tribal leaders, and many tribes were broken up and merged into the new Wanhu, which was directly governed by Yexian and his sons.

There is an essential difference between the Tu Emperor and his vassals, and the fuse that broke out was that during the civil strife in Mongolia, he also killed his sibling brother Boyan Tiermu with his own hands.

At that time, Boyan Timur, in order to ensure that his Asurt Department would not be annexed, could only choose to collude with the Arazhiyuan and the Horqin Mongol leaders to rebel together. Although he died in the end, it was impossible to slaughter the entire Asut tribe at first, so he could only split the tribe and break it up and merge into the 30,000 households in the eastern wing.

But the problem is that Boyan Timur is a bold person and has an excellent popularity in the Mongol Khanate, even Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen has a lot of friendship with him. In addition, the Asut Department is a tribe of the former leader of Wara, Taishi Tuhuan, who was divided into several sons, and also put the behavior of "killing his brother and seizing the land" in the Han classics, which is undoubtedly unkind, unjust, disloyal and unfilial.

Battle didn't want to take refuge in the Ming Kingdom, he just wanted to overthrow Yexian's rule and restore it to the original stage of the Mongol tribal system. Now that he has been inquired about first, with the decisive character of Tiansheng Khan, there must be no way to live.

Rather than suffer a humiliating death, it is better to be tough in the end and hug the leader Boyan Tiermu! a>vas>div> scan the code to download the red sleeves and Xiaoxiang to send benefits Newcomers read div>div>div > for free for a limited time
