Li Dongyang was ordered to patrol Yingtian, and He Jian, the governor of Yingtian, was already on his way to Beijing.

Xie Qian didn't stay long.

Zhu Houzhao is very satisfied with this arrangement, for this kind of ideological concept is not easy to change, but there are indeed virtuous ministers, who can let them land safely, which is a kind of relaxation of the political atmosphere.

And a relaxed political atmosphere can make everyone less nervous.

Leave a little room between each other, and a lot of room for things is actually set aside.

According to the will, Xie Qian patrolled Huguang.

In this case, the cabinet is nominally two people at this time, but in fact there is only one Wang Wei in Beijing.

The Cabinet is also an important minister. At this time, it is really inappropriate to come to the military report.

Yang Tinghe of the Military Aircraft Department has been ordered to patrol the border, so at this time, there is only Wang Bing, the secretary of the Military Aircraft Department.

So, Zhu Houzhao issued another decree one after another, announcing that Liang Chu, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Lin Han, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Han Wen, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, and Min Jue, the secretary of the Criminal Department, entered the palace.

Zeng Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is still sick and has reached the point where he can't get out of bed.

In addition, there are also Zhang Fuhua, the imperial history of the left capital, and Wu Jiao, the secretary of Dali Temple.

The second will was that Zhu Houzhao had an extra heart and handed it over to Wei Ningbo.

The fact that Wang Zhi of Weiningbo Mansion said earlier that the Tatars would join Kou Datong still made him a little frightened. It is enough to see that this woman is indeed insightful.

Therefore, he sent someone out of the palace and handed her the news.

Of course, the major affairs of the state are mainly discussed by the emperor and the courtiers. But he had a faint instinct that this woman might give him some inspiration.

Wang Zhi has been nursing the injury on her foot these days.

Sitting alone in the courtyard, someone on the side fanned her a little cool breeze, and the time was leisurely.

It's just that her second brother has worked a little hard, and he has won the emperor's trust, so he can only often go to the big sun to secretly visit the division of the field, and the whole person is black and thin.

But it's also stronger.

Because it was a matter in the palace, Wang Xuan didn't dare to be sloppy, so he took something and sent it to Wang Zhi in person, so he didn't ask others to bother.

After all, it is not very convenient for outsiders to come in in the inner and outer places of the house.

Wang Zhi is wearing a light cyan dress today, with an elegant temperament, beautiful and quiet, sitting and reading by herself, quite a talented woman.

"Sister, look at this. His Majesty ordered someone to hand it over. ”

"Your Majesty?"

Wang Zhi's expression was a little bright, and her mind fell on the paper letter all of a sudden.

However, when I opened it, Qingli's beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but stand up.

"What's wrong?"

"Second brother, look."

Wang Xuan took it, and he couldn't sit still, "Tatar offender?!" ”

"It's still a fire screen, it's still a flower horse pool, it's still 40,000 soldiers and horses."

Huamachi is on the right of Ningxia, the left of Yulin, facing the solid plain, this section of the terrain is open, and it is recorded in history: in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the Tao Yi often enters the border troubles.

The so-called Taoyi is to the north of Huamachi, which is actually the Hetao area.

Basically, it is the section of the Yellow River in the shape of a few figures.

In this place, Wang Zhi is not strange.

It's just the same people, the same soldiers, the same place.

"Dayan Khan, this is to make the fire sieve shame in front of this."

Wang Xuan said: "That's fine. Huamachi was originally mostly plundered by Tatars, and there was Yang Shangyi in Ningxia, and Yang Yiqing in Guyuan, all of which had been fully prepared and would not be defeated. But...... However, my sister also told His Majesty that Datong was dangerous, and now I'm afraid it's embarrassing. ”

"I'm a woman, and I don't have the face of a big man. Of course, it would be best for the Tatars to enter the army in the way we envisioned, and what does it matter to me. ”

"So Your Majesty sent someone to send ......"

Wang Zhi smiled lightly, "Okay." Count me wrong. Since Your Majesty has written a letter, it would be good for me to write a letter admitting my mistake. Actually, if I'm right, it's not good. ”

Of course, Wang Xuan knew what he meant, "I think it's all the same anyway." The emperor has worked hard and innovated, and now the Ming Dynasty will be strong, and it is no longer the same as in the past. As long as the Ming Dynasty is stronger than the Tatars, this battle will be easy to fight. Even if you enter Datong, it's easy to fight. ”

Wang Zhi shook her head, she didn't fight anymore, anyway, she didn't enter Datong.

"Is it really hard to fight? There's a way to deal with it, right? ”

"Yes, but I can't mention it."

"Didn't you tell Your Majesty no?"

"If you can't mention it, doesn't it mean that you don't have it?"

"Huh?"

Wang Zhi's crooked words really made a simple-minded person like him dizzy.

"What can you mention but can't mention, didn't you say that what Your Majesty wants is our sincerity?"

Wang Zhi tilted her head helplessly, a little impatient, "Second brother's words are a lot. ”

……

……

The military newspaper is a big deal.

But the fire screened 40,000 soldiers and horses into the flower horse pool.

The monarch and the ministers were not too flustered, after all, they were well prepared.

Although it is obvious that he is here for revenge, Da Ming still has a grudge against them.

Just one thing.

That is, Wang Bingzheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is saying.

"According to the previous correspondence with Zhou Shangwen, the chief soldier of Datong, if the border army is plundered, the Datong soldiers and horses should attack the enemy's rear as soon as possible, and if the enemy can be flanked in front and rear and defeated in one fell swoop, then the great cause can be accomplished."

What he meant was that the imperial court was going to issue an order for Zhou Shangwen to send troops.

But when he finished speaking, the emperor looked up at the simple map hanging on the wall, and did not indicate it.

Wang Wei was also surprised, raised his head and called softly, "Your Majesty? ”

“…… They said, is it possible for Dayan Khan to divide his troops and re-enter Datong? ”

When several old ministers heard this, they were slightly shocked in their hearts, but quickly denied this possibility.

"The Tatar march rarely divides troops, and in the case of cavalry in the Ming Dynasty now, it is the best choice to combine troops in one place and camp for hundreds of miles. Divide the troops into two places, and then enter Datong, what can you do after entering Datong? As long as Zhou Shangwen comes back to help, he will be a sheep. Moreover, this is not the case with the Tatars who fought wars. ”

Zhu Houzhao asked: "What is that?" ”

"Hit the grass valley, pass by one place and loot another, and if one does not work, then rob another. If you enter Datong, it is very likely that our army will be closed by the big dog. Isn't that a decisive battle? ”

Zhu Houzhao hugged his chest with his hands and touched his nose with his right hand.

Fuck, it's not unreasonable for the military department to say it, and the ancients can't underestimate it.

In the past, the Tatars were all about looting goods, so this time they just wanted to enter Datong and fight against the main force of the Ming army? Isn't it a bit overthinking?

If it's just looting goods, then Datong is nothing special, it's the same robbery everywhere.

Thinking along these lines,

It is indeed time to order Zhou Shangwen to order his troops to go out.

The previous preparations for food, grass, military supplies, etc., were all made in advance, and a holy decree was missing.

But what if,

In case Shangwen leads the troops out of Zhouzhou, Datong is empty, and the Tatars attack Datong again, just like Wang Zhi said, what should I do?

Zhu Houzhao finally felt that there were too many things involved in the real major choices, one thought of heaven and the other thought of hell. This is not a game, and there is no so-called protagonist aura, and in the feudal era, the information that can be obtained is even more limited.

The current situation is that

If he ordered Datong to stand still, then at most Huamachi would be the second, and Daming and Tatar would still confront each other in a stalemate.

In the last battle of Huamachi, at least 20,000 cavalry of Yang Shangyi at that time helped. This time there is no such thing. It's hard to say whether we will be able to achieve the same results as last time. Because let Zhou Shangwen go to support, then Datong is still empty, and the risk is the same as letting him break into the grassland.

In case the fight is not ideal, it means that he, the emperor, has ruled the country for two or three years and has not embarked on the so-called road of Zhongxing. Considering the previous reforms, he still had political pressure himself, and a military victory that was not a greater victory would be a political defeat for him.

If Datong did not have the enemy to attack during the entire war before and after, the pressure would be even greater, after all, spending so much money and raising so many soldiers and horses, the result would not be necessary. What do you mean?

But if he really wants to send Zhou Shangwen out, he has to take a risk. Once the Tatars crossed Datong and went straight to the Jingshi, the Jingshi would surely be shaken. When the time comes, the internal troubles will recur, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

So, is this choice really easy?

Maybe it's easy to be a bystander, but he really takes the consequences, and that feeling is completely different.

Whether it's a little bolder or a little bit is a question.
