Chapter 67: It's a pity for my daughter
"Your Highness, Weichen still has something to offer."
Zhu Houzhao can actually guess what it is.
Wang Yue took it out of his arms, and it was exactly what he explained in the previous letter.
"This book was written quickly, because the minister's life's work was to fight the Tatars in the northwest, and all kinds of situations were in the minister's heart. In accordance with His Royal Highness's will, this "Northwest War Chronicle" is specially dedicated to His Highness. ”
That's a good thing.
Wang Yue went, although he was able to win, but according to the historical records, he actually ...... Almost.
But after fifteen years of idleness, this famous general actually has no chance to bring out an heir. His eldest son and second sons, Wang Chun and Wang Shi, were not particularly capable people, and they did not make a name for themselves in the imperial examination, mainly relying on their old father to shade the official positions of thousands and hundreds of households.
So when he dies, if he wants to gain these experiences again, he has to accumulate them with blood and fire.
In fact, 'having read military books' was a very powerful skill in ancient times, because there were many illiterates at this time, and with that kind of information dissemination efficiency, where could I read it? It feels like suddenly getting a copy of the Nine Yin True Scripture.
Zhu Houzhao is naturally a treasure in his hand, and the teaching materials in the school palace are also solved.
"This is a good thing, General Wang has made great contributions to the country!"
Wang Yue saw that the prince agreed very much, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of joy in his heart, "The merit of size is not enough to be so praised by His Royal Highness." ”
The madman of the past has now learned to be humble when he speaks.
"I also have time today. This palace wants to ask General Wang a few words, what is the crux of the situation here? How can it be done once and for all? ”
Zhu Hou glanced at it, "Serve tea to the old general." ”
Since ancient times, courtiers have wanted to have the opportunity to express their strategies upward.
In this way, people can know that you are a talented winner, and you can have the opportunity to be reused.
Now that the prince took the initiative to ask, of course Wang Yue had no reason not to answer.
In winter, a sip of warm tea warmed his hands, and it also warmed his heart in this East Palace.
Wang Yue knew that this was an important opportunity, so he thought about it very seriously and said: "Your Highness asks the method of once and for all, with all due respect, the dynasties are inevitably invaded by the northern border troubles, the Xiongnu in the Qin and Han dynasties, the Turks in the Tang Dynasty, and the Khitan in the Song Dynasty...... Therefore, if you want to completely eliminate the Tatars, it may be feasible for a while, but it will be difficult for a hundred generations. ”
Zhu Houzhao said in his heart that when it is still a hundred years, it will not be a matter in a few hundred years.
"The general doesn't have to worry about what happens after you and I die, the kings of the future, the generals of the future, is there no envoy from them? You just say the present. ”
"What does Your Highness mean...... How to defeat the outright Tatar? Wang Yue somewhat understood,
The crown prince did not want a few small victories or exterminate the Tatars, but fought them so that they had no power to resist for decades to come.
"Not bad."
"If so, there's a way. The Tatar soldiers are nothing more than three characteristics: first, these people are naturally good at riding and shooting, which is difficult to compare with my Mingjun soldiers; Second, the Tatars fought for the purpose of plundering, there was no rule, and they left after the battle, and they were not systematic; The third is that they have no fixed residence, even if the imperial court attacks it's difficult to hit the main force. In view of the above characteristics, the imperial court has always been mainly defensive. However, if we really want to subdue the Tatars, we also need a hammer to forge elite cavalry! ”
Zhu Houzhao nodded, it is not a way to stick to the city. But it is very expensive to raise cavalry, good horses, soldiers, grain and grass...... This is not something that can be obtained by copying a Li Guang's house.
"This palace promised the general, in time, we must let Daming have a cavalry that is good at fighting! And the army must be without a commander, and after the general goes to Gansu, he will also recommend talents who know the army for me. ””
Wang Yue knew that he was old, and the Ming Dynasty couldn't rely on him alone, "Yes!" ”
"Hmm. Other than that, are there any other requirements? ”
"The minister wants to bring someone."
"Say."
"Guangningwei commanded Yang Shangyi."
Zhu Houzhao used his geographical knowledge to think, "Isn't Guangningwei in the east?" ”
Wang Yue told the truth: "The minister has never seen Yang Shangyi. However, his ancestor Yang Kun is an old friend of the minister, and he wrote to the minister three years ago, saying that his grandson Yang Shangyi is brave and good at fighting, and has a strategy. ”
"Is it credible? Could it be that the grandfather favors his grandson? ”
"Yang Kunqi is a person, and the minister still understands it. Moreover, there is more than one of his heirs, and the minister thinks that he may be able to believe it. Even if he is not a talent, the minister is not a mediocre person, so naturally he will not be entrusted with heavy responsibilities. ”
Zhu Houzhao thought about it, it was better to believe it, if it was fake and he couldn't make any merit, then he wouldn't be promoted to any big official here, and he wouldn't be able to delay anything.
If it's true, then take it for nothing.
And he opened his mouth to ask Wang Yue to make a request, and in the end he asked the court for a small commander, which was really not a big deal, and it seemed unreasonable to refuse.
"Good. I promise you. After the emperor was announced, he was transferred to the northwest according to the cabinet's decree. ”
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
After that,
Wang Yue left the East Palace satisfied.
After leaving the palace, the house rented by the family in Beijing was also good, and the subordinates in the house welcomed him back at the gate of the palace.
In fact, it was very exhausting to come all the way,
But Wang Yue was in high spirits, and he not only didn't rest when he went back, but also had two grandsons drink a pot with him!
"Great joy today! I just can't drink alcohol after I just joined the army, so I drank this wine at this time! ”
His two grandsons, Wang Bing and Wang Lian, did not dare to disobey their grandfather's wishes, so they were naturally very obedient.
Wang Zhi also walked out of the backyard and asked with a slight surprise: "Grandpa, what happened to me?" How happy is this? ”
In her memory, it was about the same as it was now.
In fact, it is because the decree of that day is similar to the matter that was resolved today.
It is true that the imperial court appointed him as the chief official of the three sides, but on the way here, Wang Yue has always been worried in his heart, that is, Li Guang is dead.
He is not the kind of person who talks on paper, the generals of the border pass are fighting outside, once they do not get the support of the imperial court, the emperor suspects you today, and the imperial history of Ming'er impeaches you, so how to fight this battle?
So this is also the reason why he wants to go to the East Palace.
You have to have a backer.
"Your Majesty, a new reward?" Wang Zhi sat on the side and guessed.
"No, no, no." Wang Yue smiled and shook his head.
"That's it...... Your Majesty has relieved your grandfather's grievances for more than ten years? ”
"Half of the answer is correct." Wang Yue didn't help but call himself a little granddaughter and kept guessing, "The real reason why grandpa is happy is because of the East Palace." ”
The old man sighed, "God has eyes, I sent such a powerful person to the Ming Dynasty." Although he is still young, he seems to understand the key points of the border general, and he is not just talking and not doing, but strategizing. Grandpa hasn't gone yet, he's already clearing the way for him. He also told me that in the future, I would only have to worry about how to deal with the enemy outside the border. If I Wang Shichang can't win such an easy battle, hehe, then Wei Ningbo was a fake! ”
Although he is old, he is too heroic in what he says.
Wang Zhi's eyebrows flashed slightly, "Is this prince really so magical......?" Every time I come into contact with him, what can I calculate first? ”
Wang Yue is not a blind worshipper, he said it with a small note in his heart.
"It's a pity, Zhi'er, you are a daughter." The old man looked at his little granddaughter, "When I came, His Highness instructed me to raise talents for the country, and I want to come to Your Highness to consider the future." After all, I am old, but Your Highness is still young, how can a young monarch only be an old general? Zhi'er, if you are a man, with your intelligence, grandpa has the cheekiness to let you accompany the prince, and assist Mingjun in the future, my Wang family may not be able to go to the next level. ”
"It's a pity, it's a pity!"
Wang Zhi's heart was already full of curiosity, what kind of ordinary person was His Royal Highness the Prince, why did her grandfather see him once and come back like this?!
