Zhu Qizhen was silent, he was waiting for an explanation.

Zhang Fu can give this conclusion, and naturally has his own reason.

"Your Majesty, in the past, Your Majesty drove a personal expedition, and the imperial court transferred 30,000 elite soldiers from various passes and fortresses, resulting in the emptiness of the troops in the passes.

Later, with Yang and defeated with Warat, the loss of thousands of soldiers, and then later, the Warat people stationed troops in Datong, the remaining elite soldiers, the ministers and generals all stayed in Juyong Pass, Dushikou and other important places, have been prepared for reinforcements or need from time to time. ”

Zhu Qizhen probably knew the reason.

According to the regulations, when the army goes out, the border army must also be transferred, and they are all the main forces.

At the time of Chengping, all passes had been mainly defended, and the troops were scattered relatively evenly, which was enough to defend the village for self-protection.

According to the population, area, and standing personnel of each fortress and pass are different, the most are about 1,500 people, and the least is 500.

Each pass and village echo each other from afar, and if one is attacked, the nearby passes will also lead troops to reinforce in time after they find it.

With the deployment of elites, the number of people in each pass and the combat power are naturally greatly reduced, which naturally exacerbates the risk of loss.

Zhu Qizhen understands that Zhang Fu's decision-making is in line with reality and the best way at present.

Compared with other Xiaoguan Xiaozhai, as a commander-in-chief, he should focus on the overall situation.

As long as Datong and Juyongguan are in such important places, the entire line of defense will not collapse.

As for those small villages, Zhang Fu can't take care of them.

And it doesn't matter if it is taken by the Warats, it is easy to occupy and easy to receive.

After Zhang Fu first explained the reason, he continued: "There are 36 large and small border passes in Datong, seven of which can pass through people and horses, and 29 people who can not pass through horses.

The minister also expected that the Warats would take the opportunity to send out rangers, ranging in number from 100 to 500, to attack the passes and plunder the supplies and population while the army was pressing the border. ”

Everyone knew in their hearts that with this little bit of men and horses, it was okay to guard against the small tribes on the border as in previous years.

But these rangers are all elite Warats, come without a trace, go without a trace, and their whereabouts are uncertain, and if they engage head-on, the defenders are under great pressure.

Even if the defenders do not flee, they are often tired of coping, and if they are not careful, they will be broken through the pass, burned and looted.

Zhu Qizhen's face was not good, and he asked: "The troops in the hands of the border generals are insufficient, and our army has not been defeated for a long time, so it is naturally difficult to have the heart of the enemy."

Those border generals who have the heart to serve the country, can't rely on their lonely bravery, outnumbered the enemy, and finally only have the ability to fight and die for the country?

In my opinion, should we draw some soldiers and horses from Datong, Juyongguan and other places and distribute them to various passes, what does the British think of it? ”

Without waiting for Zhang Fu to speak, Kuang Yu took a step forward and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is absolutely impossible."

Datong, Bauhinia Pass, Juyong Pass, are all important places, once lost, Warat can drive straight in, straight to the pass.

The minister knew that His Majesty cared about the people, so the minister thought that the imperial court could transfer troops from Henan, Shandong and other places to the border to replenish the troops, and if it was fast, it would be possible to arrive in twenty days. ”

Unlike Zhu Qizhen, who considers people's hearts and human lives, Kuang Yu is much more ruthless.

The big picture comes first.

Your Majesty wants to divide the troops, of course, there is a reason for dividing the troops.

The border has begun to show signs of instability, the morale of the defenders is low, and when the troops are divided everywhere, they can stabilize the people's hearts, boost morale, and let the defenders swear to defend the city.

Dividing troops can certainly calm people's hearts and defend against Warat, but it also comes at great risk.

Thirty-six places, large and small, how many troops should be divided over?

He took ten thousand men and threw them in, divided them equally, up to three hundred men in each place.

Some of the passes that have been breached, even if they send 300 people, what can they do?

Once the 10,000 troops were dispersed to the various passes, the corresponding military power was also delegated to the guards.

A mobile army of 10,000 people gathered together, compared with the scattered defenses in various places, this combat power and efficiency have been more than discounted.

Divide the army, let alone 10,000, it is 20,000, and 30,000 are thrown down, which is not necessarily enough.

If you really have the heart to take it first, take a little attack, not to mention more, a thousand people can crush it, and the defenders have no strength to fight at all.

The division of troops, this is the next policy, and it is completely a tactic of adding fuel.

Zhu Qizhen said worriedly: "I know what the master means, but if the troops are transferred in the Guan, how can there be a fast and safe transfer of troops on the spot."

The squad army in Henan and Shandong will spend 20 days on the road alone.

What if we condemn people to burn and loot again these days?

Besides, the squad army in the Guannai has been in charge for too long, how much vacuum, how many armor, and how much combat power do they still have?

When I was on duty in Beijing the year before last, I remembered that Master Kuang had already said that the training of the troops in these two places was slack, and they were suddenly transferred to the border to guard.

Besides, almost none of them, whether they were generals or soldiers, had never fought against Warat, so could they adapt to Warat's tactics?

It's all unknown. ”

After that, Zhu Qizhen was a little melancholy.

Zhang Fu turned to the Son of Heaven and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister and the soldiers have also discussed it before, and they have ordered all villages to take refuge in the nearby villages.

However, most people are reluctant to leave their homeland, with little success.

"Fart", Zhu Qizhen burst into foul language, "The people are hard to give up their homeland, don't they want to leave?"

Could it be that those hundreds of households know to be afraid, and they know to flee, so that the people will not be afraid? Won't run away? Are they not afraid of death?

It's not that they don't want to go, it's that they can't.

When they are gone, what will happen to the house, what about the livestock, pots and pans, big and small family business, will they take it with them? Are they willing to leave behind generations of family business?

Where did they come from, eating, drinking, and Lazar along the way?

Even if they come to an end, how will they live next? How long will it take? ”

Zhang Fu was speechless, and his face was red: "It's a minister, I haven't thought it through, please ask Your Majesty to punish you." ”

Zhu Qizhen sighed, was Zhang Fu wrong?

No.

He is the prince of the country, how can he consider the life and death of the small people in the market.

I can think of it

If it weren't for modern thinking and what happened to Warat, would you think of this?

I don't think I'll be much better than Zhang Fu.

"I can't blame the old man for this, it's me, I just lost my temper."

Zhu Qizhen cleaned up his mood, "Spread the decree, for those who are not in danger or small castles and small villages, they will all be abandoned and merged into the surrounding villages."

All the people defended the army and entered the customs together, and took refuge in the walled fort.

All generals, if there is an enemy situation, must work together and wait for reinforcements.

Then 5,000 people were drawn out from Datong and formed into two teams to inspect the side wall and use them as reinforcements at any time.

In addition, the people's refuge money and food are distributed by the imperial court, and everyone must be fed, and the injured and sick can be treated.

If someone dares to deceive the superiors and subordinates, they will punish the clan on the spot, and no one will be spared. ”
