Chapter 82: Ten years of peace in one battle
Those who accompanied the northern tour to Shuntianfu, there were civil ministers and military generals, although Shuntianfu was not a Beijing division, but it had a level of status with the Beijing division. In Zhu Di's heart, Jinling City is his Laozi's capital teacher, and Shuntian Mansion is his capital teacher.
However, when they learned of the invasion of the Wara Division, the first direction of the generals coincided with Zhu Di, that is, to fight, but the first thought of the ministers was to withdraw.
In their hearts, when encountering a war, the emperor should avoid it, sit in the capital, and call the generals to do the war.
If your emperor is on a personal expedition, then what do you need the generals to do? Your emperor is happy when he wins, but what if he loses? Could it be that the shame of Jingkang of the Han people will be reviewed again?
All dynasties, except for a very few emperors, have indeed come over like this.
However, Zhu Di is "a very small number of emperors".
It's not that he doesn't understand these big truths, but he also understands one thing - I have never lost a war with a foreign race!
Seeing that someone was opposing, Zhu Di's face was not good, he pondered in his heart, and looked at Zhu Gaoxian: "King Qi, come on, can you fight this battle?" ”
Zhu Gaoxian was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, you old thief Zhu Di, throw the pot to me!
Can he say no fighting!
If he dares to say "no", wait for the emperor to put on his little shoes!
Zhu Gaoxian stiffened his head and said: "Erchen thinks that this battle must be fought!" ”
Zhu Di smiled knowingly when he heard this: Hey! This kid is good, sensible!
However, the old man was not satisfied, and continued to ask: "Oh, you said that you must fight, then you should tell me, why do you want to fight?" ”
Zhu Gaoxian had 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping in his heart.
Why did I say I had no points in my heart?
If you don't want to fight, do I dare to speak against your words!
I've got a stage for you, why are you still so energetic!
Under the pressure of the emperor, Zhu Gaoxian took a deep breath and said: "Back to my father, I think that in the past, Emperor Gao destroyed the Yuan Jianming, and his remnants fled to the outside of the Saiwai and established the Northern Yuan. ”
"However, during the Hongwu Dynasty, my Ming Dynasty had just created a great cause, and all kinds of waste were waiting to be revived, so we should focus on restoring economic production and enhancing national strength, so we ignored Mongolia in Mobei. Although there were several crusades against the Northern Yuan later, they did not have much impact on the foundation of the Northern Yuan, and it was not until the Battle of Yuerhai that the main force of the Northern Yuan was defeated and disintegrated into three major tribes. ”
"Of these three major tribes, the Tatars have been defeated by the army led by the emperor, and it is difficult to assemble in a short time. And Wu Liangha is also worshiped by courtiers to the Ming Dynasty, and it is difficult to become a great weapon within ten years. Only Warat, Mahamu, the old thief, is extremely cunning, left and right, really hateful, often offended my Ming! ”
"Since the defeat of the Tatars, the Mongol tribes have been unscathed, and they have continued to expand and grow, and now they have become a big problem for our Ming Dynasty. The father and emperor drove the expedition in person, in order to boost the prestige of the country, the morale of the soldiers is high, and they will be able to defeat Warat in a battle, and this battle will be won! ”
"The so-called Taiping Jiangshan is not said with mouths, but with fists!"
"After this battle, you can fight ten years of peace! The pros outweigh the disadvantages! ”
"Son-in-law Zhu Gaoxian, I implore my father to use troops against Wara!"
Zhu Di was stunned when he heard this, and thought in his heart that the fourth child could speak so well.
The old man was very comfortable when he heard this, and he was overjoyed, and he couldn't help but clench his fists and said loudly: "You have all heard what King Qi said, this battle is not that I want to fight, but I have to fight!" I want to fight a battle to bring out the peace of the Ming Dynasty for ten years! ”
The corners of Zhu Gaoxian's mouth twitched: You don't want to fight?
I think you want to fight more than anyone else!
King Zhao, who entered the palace and discussed with him, looked at the emperor and said, "What the fourth brother said is the same as what his sons think in their hearts!" ”
Zhu Zhanji, the imperial grandson, did not quarrel with the third uncle this time, and nodded: "The grandson also thinks the same." ”
Fan Zhong, the guard general, clenched his fists and said: "What Prince Qi said is good, this battle must be fought, and the last general seconded it!" ”
The generals nodded one after another, clasped their fists and shouted: "The last general seconded the proposal!" ”
"The last general seconded it!"
"The last general seconded it!"
……
The corners of Zhu Di's mouth rose slightly, and he looked at Yang Rong: "Yang Rong, now you tell me, should this battle be fought?" ”
Yang Rong looked around and found that most people had already agreed, he was helpless in his heart, and said weakly: "Minister Yang Rong, I also seconded it!" ”
The status of the cabinet of the Yongle Dynasty was far less exaggerated than that of later generations, and Yang Rong had no choice.
Zhu Di heard a satisfactory answer, and bowed slightly: "Since all the Aiqing are in line with my opinion, I don't have much, spread my will, and the capital of the northern provinces will immediately prepare soldiers and horses, gather in Shuntian, and after the assembly is completed, send troops to Xuanfu!" ”
"Anyone who delays the fighter will be killed!"
Yang Rong glanced at Zhu Gaoxian, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
If it weren't for the fact that King Qi had a bunch of big truths, the emperor would not have been able to handle the ministers so easily.
……
Jinling City, East Palace
"Hey, hey, who's going to bring over the excerpts of Zhejiang Tianfu in this quarter reported by the Ministry of Households."
"yes, let's move here!"
At this time, the East Palace was busy, and the crown prince in charge of supervising the country knew how tiring this work was, although he was not an emperor, but it was more troublesome than being an emperor.
As an emperor, you have been a faint monarch for forty years, and you can't go to court every day in the harem, in the harem, the wine pond, the meat, the forest warbler, the song and the swallow dance.
As a prisoner, you not only have to do all the emperor's work, but you also have to do everything beautifully, and do everything comfortably.
If you don't do a good job, the first thing the emperor will do when he comes back from Shuntianfu is to get you.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Shuntian urgently!"
Jin Zhong hurriedly walked over and presented the secret letter with fire paint to the crown prince, "The invasion of Warat, the emperor has decided to drive the expedition in person, and he has already summoned the northern capitals to gather troops!" ”
The prince was stunned for a moment, and after opening the secret letter to confirm that it was correct, his face was solemn: "Warat is really good at picking the time, and the emperor has only arrived in Shuntian for a long time, and they rushed over." ”
"Prince, what do you mean?"
This matter is so big that even Jin Zhong, the old scholar of the military department, didn't know what to do, so he had to ask the prince for advice.
"Could it be that you can still run to Shuntian and tie the emperor back?" The prince's face was calm, "The emperor said that he wanted to fight, so he would fight." There is a war on the front line, and we can't drag the emperor back in the rear. In the name of the East Palace, the six departments were ordered to fully cooperate with the front line, and to gather enough food and grass for the Northern Expeditionary Army and all kinds of military supplies for the army within seven days. ”
"Those who postpone for one day will be cut by one level!"
"Those who postpone for two days will be cut by three levels!"
"Those who postpone for three days, chop!"
"Give orders to the provinces, governments, and counties of the transportation route to not delay the teams transporting grain, grass, and military supplies, and strive to solve the supply problem of the northern expedition in the shortest possible time."
"Disobedient, don't ask the reason, behead!"
"If there is a deliberate delay in delaying the military situation, the three clans!"
The prince, who was docile and honest in the past, is full of murder in his eyes at the moment, as if he is two people.
Whoever dares to delay the national affairs of the Ming Dynasty, I will kill whoever is fat!
The crown prince Zhu Gaochi is a very easy-going person, provided that ...... It will not have a negative impact on Daming.
If he violated this red line in his heart, Zhu Fatpang would also kill people!
