Why can't you beat Jiannu?

Why did they run away as long as they encountered the Manchu Eight Banners?

Everyone is human, why would they rather surrender to Jiannu and be beheaded by Jiannu than fight with Jiannu with a knife?

Could it be that Jiannu has three heads and six arms?

No!

All the reasons, in the final analysis, are because the army at the end of the Ming Dynasty has rotted to the bones.

Zhou Xian calmed down and calmed the joy in his heart.

Pretended to be angry and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I want to know your opinion on this matter of Wucheng. ”

Chen Donghua said: "My lord, this official has cooperated with Chen Qingzhi to escort the grain and grass to Xuanfu yesterday. ”

"Yes, the official thought that this matter should be handled calmly and wait and see."

Zhou Xian suppressed the anger in his heart and asked coldly, "Wait and see?" Do you want to see how those proud soldiers change? ”

"My lord, since you promised to pay the border army in the court yesterday."

"Then send the military salary to the Xuanfu and give it to them."

"Isn't the main reason for the military mutiny over there because of the silver?"

"With silver, you can stabilize the situation over there."

"As for Wucheng, this official still thinks that a civil official will be sent to pacify."

"Avoid further deterioration."

Zhou Xian's complexion did not change, and he bowed slightly.

This is indeed a good approach if you look at it from a neutral standpoint.

Modest, soft.

But it's too soft.

Since Chongzhen ascended the throne, in the past ten years, he has always treated the border army in a gentle way.

At first, they were grateful to Dade, but after a long time.

Instead, they became masters.

Poor Emperor Chongzhen became a grandson instead.

"Yan Mingtai, what is your best plan?"

Zhou Xian's target fell on the head of the military department.

He didn't believe that this guy had nothing to do with the rebellious border troops outside.

Yan Mingtai squinted slightly, speculated carefully, and then said, "This official thinks what Doctor Yu Shi said is reasonable. ”

Zhou Xian: "......"

is still such a prevarication statement.

After co-authoring, I went to the early dynasty, and I only looked for Dr. Yushi?

Zhou Xian's cheeks were introverted, and the hall was filled with a cold atmosphere.

At this time, the aged and vicissitudes of Sun Chengzong stood up.

"Master Chess, the old man has a different opinion."

"Please."

Zhou Xian still has a good impression of this famous general.

Although he himself is not clean, in the late Ming Dynasty, this old man made great achievements for the Ming Dynasty, and even more forcibly performed the merits of the Ming Dynasty to continue his life.

Even if he is a little at fault, the merits outweigh the faults.

In the rotten imperial court, it is already a clear stream.

"The old man thinks that to deal with the generals of Wucheng, the focus is on deterrence, and the second is the strategy of tenderness."

Listen to ......

It is still the old Jianghu's method that echoes reality.

is also closer to Zhou Xian's thoughts.

Even if Chongzhen is here, he will not hesitate to take his advice.

Because the old minister usually analyzes the problem and tries to think from the emperor's point of view.

After all, by the side of the king, eating the king, isn't it just for them to share their worries for the king?

"What General Sun said is extremely true, in fact, I have acted according to your strategy."

Hearing Zhou Xian say this, Sun Chengzong's expression was obviously stunned.

Old and strong, he quickly came back to his senses, and Zhou Xian was playing with his words just now.

Okay, Zhou Xian just let him, the former soul of the border army, stand on his side.

So it's good to make a big move against Wucheng.

He guessed right.

But Zhou Xian did not shy away from his thoughts.

Straight to the point: "I have secretly ordered Lu Delin to take Jin Wuwei to Xuanfu. ”

"In addition, there is also the right to be cheap in brocade clothes."

"This time, I also asked Lu Delin to mobilize twelve Hongyi cannons from the Shenji Battalion in the capital."

The more Zhou Xian said later, the more worried several people in the court became.

They all looked at Zhou Xian with disbelief.

This......

Is this kid still the same smiling and kind colt on weekdays?

To deal with the thousands of border troops in Wucheng, Jin Wuwei was dispatched to talk to Jinyiwei.

And artillery was also used??

What is he going to do?

Kill Dou Xiao?

At this time, Zhou Xian was already tightly substituted for the character of the prison country.

He sat down on the throne of the dragon's head, picked up the golden talisman and patted it on the table.

He immediately said: "Love, today, this official will do the emperor's will on behalf of His Majesty. ”

"Therefore, it is necessary to remind you."

"The trouble of the nine sides has always been bitter for the imperial court for a long time."

"It's time for me to make a change."

"In the final analysis, this is the confrontation between the forbidden army in the capital and the border army, and it is also a powerful game between the imperial power represented by Jin Wuwei and the feudal officials who support the army."

"At this time, Wu Sangui of Yunnan is watching, and the soldiers of the other seven border towns are watching."

"In the past, Your Majesty might have been open to them, but I can't."

"With me, the border army must obey the orders of the imperial court."

"If, this time, the Wucheng net is opened, in the future, the nine-sided county guards will follow the gourd and draw the scoop."

"When the time comes, the country will not be a country, the dynasty will not be a dynasty, and the officials and lords will become a mirror."

Zhou Xian's last sentence was loud and clear.

Everyone at the scene hung their heads and was silent.

Although many of them are involved with the border army.

For example, the book of the military department.

But Yan Mingtai also wanted to weaken the power of the border army.

Over the years, although he was in charge of the military department.

The funny thing is that the people in the major border towns don't bird him at all.

When it was time to ask for military salaries and grain and grass every quarter, he sent a letter and respectfully addressed him as 'Lord Shangshu'.

If he doesn't want to find a way to get his salary.

The border army will scold his eighteenth generation ancestors behind his back.

For this reason, Yan Shangshu has a lot of nicknames that are not very good-sounding on the nine sides.

But what can he do?

Today, he listened to Zhou Xian's analysis and felt that things were promising.

Cut the border army and centralize power.

At that time, the authority of his Shangshu will naturally become greater.

He should support what is good for him.

The same goes for others.

"Your Excellency, you are right, but there is still a risk in this matter."

"What if the imperial court exerts too much pressure and the border army collapses??"

Chen Donghua said this, and immediately shut up.

He didn't dare to continue.

"It's okay!"

Zhou Xian waved his hand, and his performance was extremely calm.

"It seems to me that they don't dare to do that kind of rebellion."

"After all, the low-level soldiers of the border army are innocent, and in the end, they are just as much victims as the oppressed people."

"Their military salaries will all be paid by the imperial court, and this time is no exception."

"This official responds to the people this time, that is, he wants to cut the scourge in the border army."

"As long as the leader is the leader, the rewards and punishments are clear, and the honesty and justice are fair, do you still need to worry about the drastic changes in the border army?"

Zhou Xian's words were deafening.

Every word is true.

Several court officials who listened were shocked.

Sun Chengzong looked at Zhou Xian in disbelief.

It was as if he had known the colt of the dynasty for the first day.
