"Tang Yingde! How could he do that! ”

Since Song Shu has been able to deliver it to Zhangjiakou, it will naturally be sent to the capital.

In the National Policy Hall in the winter moon, Zhu Zaiqian sat on a chair prepared for him, and looked at him with wide eyes and Teacher Yang angry.

Although Yang Shen is only a secretary of the Ministry of Finance and Taxation, his explosion is now understood in the National Policy Palace.

From last year to this year, when did the battle stop?

"It's okay now, except for Liaodong, which didn't move, Jizhou and Hejing stayed behind, and the rest of the seven towns and Jizhou, the main forces of Jingying, and even the sea division, are all fighting, all of them are going out to conquer the real land!" Yang Shen had indeed begun to have a lot of white hair on his head, he looked at Zhang Fujing, and was so depressed that he couldn't do it, "The imperial driver and the Northern Expedition army still have to spend this winter in the Kaiping area, where can we talk about the food and military resources that can be safely supported to eradicate the arbitrage?" ”

It's just too much pressure.

Xia Yan also understood him very well, but Xia Yan had to say: "Tang Yingde's judgment is right, this is a good opportunity for the ages!" Beiyu has always lived in a fixed place and came and went like the wind. Now, it is not easy to catch up with the internal fighting in the north, Tumut and the Khan's court will fight a decisive battle in the Chahar area, the Ordos Department intends to preserve its strength and reap the benefits, and the isolation of Yongshebu Wanhu has been swept away. No one expected that I would be so decisive that the situation would change so far. Even though the preparations were not yet complete, they had to finish the battle. ”

Whether it is from the position of the General Staff of the Military Affairs Conference, or for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, Xia Yan has to say this.

He looked at Yang Shen: "The war has started, what kind of suffering there is, I have to swallow it first." Before leaving Beijing, I entrusted you with the logistics and the internal affairs of the Ming military and government. With cultivation, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in person, so let's settle down first and discuss all matters of grain and grass. ”

Zhang Fujing also nodded: "This victory or defeat is no longer about how the front-line generals fight to the death, but how to transfer grain and grass in time." At this moment, the morale of the military and the people at home and abroad must not be chaotic. What is a big deal for the Ming Dynasty? Work together to go to the country! The first thing is that the Hetao and the driving army are located, and the grain and grass cannot be delayed. New grain is being levied, and old grain should be shipped first. ”

The Prime Minister and Minister of State expressed his position, and Yang Shen could only report the situation helplessly.

The treasury has been unified, regardless of whether the numbers are accurate or not, he has at least one Ming ledger here. He also knows the storage of grain storage numbers, the capacity of the transfer operation, the river transportation bureau, and the shipping bureau.

What needs to be done well now is to make overall arrangements.

The matter is being discussed one by one, and since the crown prince Zhu Zaiqian has the name of supervising the country, he should be observed.

Sun Ming is in the harem, worried about her son's performance, worried about the safety of her husband who is far away, and worried about Sun Jiao's condition.

It's already over eighty, and the probability of Sun Jiao surviving this winter is getting smaller and smaller.

On the side of Ming Pao, since Yu Dayou sent troops first, the latest progress of the war will be published in every issue.

Now, the emperor has gone out of the border wall, Kaiping has returned to the Ming Dynasty, Yong Xie Bu, one of the 60,000 households in the north, has been basically swept away, Tumut was even more afraid last year, fled north to rebel against the Khan's court, and it is a foregone conclusion that the Hetao side will collect all the land south of the Yellow River.

For the people of the Ming Dynasty, there must be such an internal propaganda, so that they can understand that the Ming Dynasty is now winning, and it is for the sake of the northern trouble. Only in this way can we understand and support the tremendous financial pressure brought about by the war and some special control measures after the imperial departure from Beijing.

"If you don't add temporary endowments, you can only spend money to buy them. You have to have money, but you also have to have someone willing to sell! The national policy hall was still discussing, Yang Shen said, "Let me be straightforward, Nanjing, Huaiyang, Jiangning, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Huguang, at this time is really the country's capital!" If we can't raise enough food from Jiangnan, the front line will definitely be unsustainable! ”

There was silence in the National Policy Hall.

If there are still people who are nostalgic for the past, then this is the last chance.

The emperor is not in the capital, not even in the Ming Dynasty. The strength of the northern captives to frantically survive will not be afraid that the great tomorrow will not be in the enemy formation on the opposite side. If the front line is really cut off from military supplies, will the Ming Dynasty win first and then lose? Can the Emperor come back?

Now, it is not enough to simply pay all the food dues. Even if the grain reserve number had a large amount of grain in stock before, and there is also new grain that can be used this year, but how fast is the consumption rate of such a large-scale national war?

In order to ensure that food and military supplies are foolproof, there must be other sources. Whether it is sold or donated, this naturally has to be voluntary, and cannot be forced. Unless you are simply ruthless, you will be given temporary endowments and treated equally.

That was not the purpose of the emperor's explanation before leaving.

The emperor clearly decreed that they should not be given more money because of war, and they needed to carry the heavy burden.

"Solve the problem of money first!" Zhang Fujing made a decision again, "President Cui, the re-enactment of treasury bonds was only sold in Shanxi and Shaanxi before, but now it is time to expand. What I mean is that this battle is about the country, the clan, and the relatives should do their part. Civil and military officials, naturally, should also buy one or two according to their ability. On the side of Chengguo Gong, the same is true for enterprises. The people can even be allowed to get through the difficulties first. ”

Cui Yuan shook his head: "Money is not a problem. This year, the provincial capitals have set up branches, and I don't know how many villages there are to probe the wind. As long as they are allowed to also be reorganized into a private bank, His Majesty's reserve fund can be collected in the tens of millions of taels. ”

"Never!" Zhang Fujing categorically refused, "If the overall situation of the money law is ruined because of this, it will be to drink to quench your thirst and give up your roots." Tonight, I will draft an article and explain the gist of the newspaper and the printing number. This is not an endowment, but a common solution to national worries. He has fulfilled his responsibilities and regained the benefits of great victory. The court borrowed money and it was definitely returned. The northern plague is eradicated, why can't the Ming Dynasty be rich? ”

“…… It's me who is abrupt. Cui Yuan was more worried about whether the emperor would be able to come back safely, so he subconsciously proposed a more brutal solution.

"If you make a scrap, you can make money." Yang Shen said, "The first batch of old grain will be shipped, the second batch will be shipped this year's new grain as soon as possible, and the third batch is more critical." His Majesty went to Kaiping to spend the winter with the generals and let them preserve their morale. But if the spring opens next year, and the grain and grass are unsustainable, how can we expel the Khan Court and defeat the northern captives? How can we buy enough food to keep the provinces from experiencing food price fluctuations? ”

Zhang Fujing's eyebrows showed sharply: "Who dares to think at this time and exterminate the family!" With the official here, they might as well gamble! Before His Majesty returned to Beijing in triumph, Mr. Ben came to kill! If you kill a mess, this general assistant will bear it! In any case, as long as this battle is won and Your Majesty triumphs, which of the ghosts and spirits can escape? ”

"I shirked the lack of food, bought a national debt, paid the grain payment, and donated some more, how can the general assistant kill him?" Yang Shen disagreed, "The key is not only to buy enough food, but also to make the people of the two capitals and 16 provinces believe that the surplus grain is enough, so that they will not survive this winter and next year!" ”

"One persuasion, two temptations, three patrols, four investigations!" Zhang Fujing gave full play to his tough nature, "The first two batches of grain will be landed, then there will be time." For three months, if you don't know the righteousness and take the initiative, and you still don't listen to persuasion and don't respond to fame and fortune, then go on patrol and investigate! As you know, it has been 10 years since the trial implementation of the new law! You and I who live in the temple are all dead ministers of the new law! At this time, if there are still those who forget the country's worries for the sake of small family plans, they are all enemies of Your Majesty, enemies of you and me, and enemies of the people of the world! ”

Zhang Fujing finished speaking sonorously, and then looked at Qiu Luan, who returned to Beijing to replace Guo Xun and stayed in the Beijing camp: "Marquis Xianning, what do you say to Wei Guogong?" ”

The young Qiu Luan has never had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and the opportunities in the future will naturally become fewer and fewer, so now may be the last chance: "The three major battalions in Beijing and the Zhenwu battalion in Nanjing all act according to His Majesty's will!" ”

Yang Shen's eyes darkened, could this be the flowering of both inside and outside?

Only Zhang Fujing did not hesitate: "When you break it, you will continue to suffer from it!" How much grain will be produced next year, and how much will be the total amount of silver money in the Ming Dynasty, the gentry all over the world will know it in their hearts. It's not a question of whether you can buy it or not, whether the people believe it or not, it's a question of whether you can do it or not! In this battle, if Your Majesty can win a decisive victory in Saibei, it will also be a decisive victory in the Ming Dynasty in the new law. From then on, no one dared to leave anything to chance! Such an immortal king, such a single-minded minister, what can't you do? ”

Zhu Houxi made Zhang Fujing soar from the end of the micro, and now is the time for him to repay Jun's grace.

The decisive game of the new law at the level of people's hearts is also linked to it.

This is not wrong, if Zhu Houxi really succeeded and achieved incomparable achievements, it is not the credit of the new law and new learning, but what kind of merit is it?

If it is done, it will definitely be an emperor through the ages, and it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to shake his internal and external troubles, and even at least for several generations.

And under such a special situation of multi-front warfare and the scale of national wars, those who can still stabilize the country and keep food and salary are naturally immortal and good ministers through the ages.

The young Zhu Zaiqian watched this national policy meeting in a daze, ignorantly feeling the prestige established by his father.

It was many years before he began to grasp the meaning. For him, it was an unattainable height.

……

Now, the people who caused it all are being reviled bitterly.

"You are a rebel and a thief, and you will also be a sinner of the grassland! Have you traitors, descendants of the cowardly Xue army, forgotten your oath of allegiance to Genghis Khan's most noble bloodline? ”

The same young man turned pale with horror and cursed him with someone else, the elder of the Chahar Wanhu and the most loyal minister of the Khan's court.

There is no tent next to it, it is a battlefield on a snowy field.

Horses and steppe warriors who had died in battle were everywhere, and there were more than 2,000 horsemen left under the command of Alta who had pursued them. Not only his original subordinates, but also some of the Chahar Wanhu Etok leaders who had already submitted to him.

It's not the end, it's just the beginning, and it's not even officially started yet.

I turned over and dismounted, walked in front of them and calmly stretched out his hand: "Seal." ”

For more than two months, he has been attacking frantically since he defeated Huslesaihan in the first stop.

The sudden, unannounced, and all-powerful rebellion not only did not respond enough to the Chahar households, but also to the Khalkha households. What's more, even if they want to come to help, there is still a deep hatred of the Wuliang Hawan family to restrain them.

In fact, it's just a 10,000-to-10,000 household.

In other words, 10,000 households against more than half a million households.

Hearing my answer, the old minister of the Khan's court sneered: "With you, a traitor and a sinner, you are also worthy of the seal of the lord of the Khan's court?" Haven't you met the Yongsheb who have fled from the south? Because of you, one of the 60,000 households designated by Dayan Khan has disappeared into the hands of the Han people! ”

I drew the golden knife, slit his throat with my hand, stretched out his hand to the other person, and said calmly, "Seal." ”

The man just raised his head proudly.

I replied as he wished, and simply reached out to the caller Sun again, and did not speak, just stared at his nephew condescendingly.

The young man called Sun and looked at his cousin tremblingly, and said tremblingly: "I...... I didn't have ......"

So I answered the blade directly, it seems that the person in front of him is not the descendant of Genghis Khan, who also has the blood of the Golden Family, his relatives, and the rightful lord of the Khan's court.

“…… You devil...... The Devil ......"

My unhesitating movements and the consistent calmness on his face made the other Khan court fugitives collapse their minds.

Can a courtier, after rebellion, be so cruel to the end, not caring about his fame at all, and not caring about whether he can subdue other tribes in the future?

My heart is as cold as the wind and snow here, and he has long since ceased to cling to anything.

He only knows that now and Daming are life and death. In such a situation, he cannot have the slightest hesitation or scruples.

Yongsheb was gone, and he knew it.

But those who are still alive just want to live. Even if they hate me, they will hope that someone can lead them to live.

Only a strong leader can lead them to life at such a time.

And the remnants of Yong Xie Bu, who have already seen the power of the Ming Dynasty, are easier to be persuaded by me.

"Immortal Heaven is above, I have a clear conscience." I finally looked at them, "When you call Sun is dead, you have surrendered to me, and I still regard you as a clansman." If you do not descend to me, then return to the bosom of the Immortal Heaven and wait for the judgment of me in the future. With the seal, and with the submission, I will be a little easier. No, it's just a little harder. And I, no matter how hard it is, will continue. No one but me can lead the people of the Immortal Heaven to survive this catastrophe brought by the Han Chinese. ”

He still spoke calmly, with absolute conviction.

When he expressed his intention to give up on me, it was so natural.

Now, it was indeed he who defeated the supposedly strongest Central Wanhu. However, less than five years have passed since the First Battle of Xuanfu, and Chahar Wanhu has not yet recovered, and some of them are stupidly grateful for the life-saving grace of our time, and do not agree with the statements of some old people in Chahar Wanhu.

Bodi was dead, and Bodie couldn't show up to reprimand them: that was what I did on purpose, and he could have acted as originally planned after breaking through Yutai Ridge!

Winning and losing, now I can really say that.

In the decades after Dayan Khan, the steppe tribes were actually divided, and it was originally Bodi who probably actually had the power of 20,000 households, and although the right wing was comparable, the two brothers had their own thoughts.

Now, Gunbirik has been left by Alta to deal with the Ming Dynasty, Yongshebu has disappeared, and Altan has a half. If Uliangha were to stand with him, he would probably have nearly three soon.

After calling Sun to fall in the snow, the blood in his throat continued to melt the snow next to him, outlining a strange puddle of lines.

"You have torn the Khan Court apart, how can you say that you have a clear conscience?"

I replied and frowned, and then said indifferently: "Since you have already cried and questioned, you just don't want to die." Since you are ready to live, then live well, find the answer for yourself, and see the answer for yourself. Let me ask again, did the seal take away, or did it hide? ”

Time was of the essence, and he was not prepared to waste more.

The disappearance of Yongsheb or the imminent army of Gunbirik is within my judgment.

Now that he had received the message, it was both at the same time.

That's a good thing for me.

No matter how strong the Ming is, it is impossible to be strong enough to destroy Gunbiric in the same winter, and then attack him thousands of miles deep into the north.

The choice of the migration of the Ju tribe at the turn of spring and summer was to end the war with the Khan before winter.

There is no city here, and if the Ming army is stupid enough to come at this time, I am not afraid.

However, he also only has one winter time left.

The real brutality of the war is after the snow has melted.

The whole year ended in migration and fighting, and even if he was able to subdue the remnants of Chahar, Khalkha, and Uliangha, as well as Yongshebu, without any recuperation, how could he win in the Ming army's northern expedition that was bound to come next year?

You don't need to win next year.

Led the army back to the place where the Khan's court was, and I replied and ordered: "Manchu bald, you take the three Chahar tribes who have returned to the Shun, and go to the place of the savage Jurchen and the Jianzhou Jurchen." I want their servants, and arrowheads, and horses, and cattle and sheep. The others, with their warriors, went to the various tribes to set up tents for the winter, and conveyed the will of the Great Khan, the lord of the Khan's court, Tushetu Chechen Khan, and asked them to send elders to the tents. Why do I do all this, how can I live, I will tell them why I am trustworthy and should be relied upon! and he that does not want to be obedient is to be defeated first. Remember, what you want to live will always want to live. ”

The wind and snow in winter will cover the mud and freeze the river, and the many tribes in the bitter cold land have prepared as many supplies as possible to survive the winter, and I first turned some of my attention to the territory of the savage Jurchen and Jianzhou Jurchen, which are not far from Chahar.

The Ming Dynasty inflicted suffering on the Mongols, and the Khan's court first inflicted suffering on the Jurchens.

It's all about staying alive.

And with my order, Ma Fang could not stop.

In several battles, he also made a lot of contributions and became the leader of a reliable cavalry squad.

Now, he was going to subdue more small tribes, and even to help subdue the entire Khalkha.

Ma Fang was excited, which meant that he might find out where the tents of the entire left-wing tribes were for the winter.

The snow is still falling, the weather is getting colder, and the fighting on the grassland will not stop.

In the entire north of the Ming Dynasty, the most peaceful is now only the original northern parallel capital area.

Now, Zhu Houxi's imperial car is slowly moving northeast from the north of Zhangjiakou, and the destination is Kaiping, the residence of the old Kaiping Wei, which is also the Shangdu of the former Great Yuan.

Chahar is actually not far away, and Kaiping is actually equivalent to the northernmost line at present.

Chahar's pastoral land was located in the north and northwest of the steppe, which would later be known as Xilin Gol.

The area of Khalkha's pastoral land is the core area of Outer Mongolia in the future. As for Uliangha, they are all close to Lake Baikal.

was so close, but Zhu Houxi walked easily.

He knew that I would not lose my mind and attack south, and that the Ming would not continue to advance north in winter.

But the Xilin Gol prairie will not run, and neither will the Fengzhou Beach and the Hetao.

If the Beiyu really gave up these southernmost and best grasslands, what would the Ming have to lose?

But I am a person who can give up Fengzhou Beach, and he is naturally very likely to give up the Xilin Gol Prairie.

Let's live a hard life first and wait for the opportunity in the future.

Zhu Houxi, who was sitting in the car, thought about this, and was still a little melancholy: Duoyanbu had been shrinking in the Chengde area for too long, and they couldn't lead the way.

Since I have made such a choice, it is obvious that I will not easily fight with Da Ming again.

In the face of enemies who will run around in the vast desert north, what is the best way to find them?

The champion Hou Gong covered Qianqiu, one is because of the lightning cavalry who nourishes the war with battle, and the other is because of the servants who lead the way.

The strongest combat power of the Ming Dynasty now is not the cavalry, the Ming Dynasty has shrunk for too long, and there is also a lack of leading servants who are familiar with the grassland.
