Chapter 144: 30,000 Elites, Send Troops to the Northeast!
Zhu Di really couldn't hold back, he now felt that the Ming Dynasty would not die in the country, and he was sorry for the "great achievements" of these good sons and grandchildren of the prince's lineage.
Zhang Juzheng calmly defeated the ministers, got the state politics up, and fed the food to your emperor's mouth, and the result was ...... Rotten in a few years?
You're damned!!
[From the same year, in order to compete for the crown prince, it has become a protracted "national capital dispute". The battle for the door in the court is flourishing day by day, and they are pouring into each other. Donglin Party, Xuan Party, Kun Party, Qi Party, Zhejiang Party, there are many names. 】
[Because of the establishment of the crown prince, he disputed with the cabinet for more than ten years, and finally simply did not leave the palace gate for 30 years, ignored the government, did not go to the suburbs, did not go to the temple, did not go to the court, did not see, did not approve, and did not speak. 】
[In the eleventh year of Wanli, Nurhachi raised troops with the thirteen deputies of his ancestor and father's relics, and launched a war of annexation against the Jurchen tribes in Jianzhou, unifying the departments of Jianzhou. It successively annexed the Haixi Jurchen and the East China Sea Jurchen, and unified the Jurchen tribes in the northeast. In the first year of the Mandate of Heaven, Nurhachi was called Khan, the country was called Jin, and the Mandate of Heaven was established. 】
[After the rapid rise of Liaodong, the Jin Dynasty continued to send troops to the south to attack the Ming army, and the Liaodong War broke out. On the first day of the first month of the 44th year of Wanli, the Later Jin regime was officially established, and the situation in Liaodong has deteriorated since then. In particular, after the war of aiding Korea in the East and the mining tax caused Gaohuai to disrupt Liao, the air defense of the eastern border of Liaodong was weak, the army and people were in great difficulty, the supply was difficult, and the border army was repeatedly defeated. 】
[In March of the forty-seventh year of Wanli, the battle of Salhu, the Ming army's four-way army, the three-way army was annihilated, and 90,000 soldiers were lost, and the defeat was completed. 】
[The Liaodong War required about 4 million taels of silver every year, in order to cope with this huge military expenditure, since September of the 46th year of Wanli, you have ordered three times to increase the national field endowment, which was called "Liaoyu". Far from being of any avail, the increase in the three salaries (Liao, Xuan, and Lian Yuan) has provoked popular uprisings in various places, like a fire burning on a coal mine, and once ignited, it can no longer be quelled. 】
[You are very tired, because you know that the great empire has decayed to the roots, and the edifice will fall. 】
[Da Ming is finished. 】
[This time, there is no King Qi to save the sky, because your dear grandfather, Emperor Jiajing, has used a war against the southwest to extinguish the last bit of kindness between the Ming Dynasty and the Qi Palace. 】
[In the days of his old father, Emperor Longqing, there were several elders who thought about adding the land of the five provinces to King Qi, but they were not to ease the relationship with King Qi, but simply for profit, but this plan was also forced to be suspended because of the sudden death of your old father. 】
[Forty-eight years of reign, every day was spent under the oppression of the ministers, you have resisted, and you have compromised, and the final result is the Wanli Emperor who has not been in court for thirty years. Sarhu's defeat was the last straw that overwhelmed you. 】
[You have never stepped out of the capital in your life, you were born in the deep palace and died in the deep palace. 】
[On July 21, the forty-eighth year of Wanli, you collapsed in the Hongde Hall at the age of fifty-eight. On the 22nd, the funeral was held, and on the 23rd, the edict was issued, ordering the crown prince Zhu Changluo to take the throne. On the 10th day of the first month of September, he was honored as Shenzong Fan Tianhe Daozhesu Dun Jianguang article Wu'an Renzhi Xiaoxian Emperor, and the temple was called Shenzong. On the third day of October, he was buried in Dingling. 】
[Zhu Yijun's life simulation of the emperor is over. 】
Da Ming is dying.
Zhu Di was not surprised by this result, but what surprised him was the person "Zhang Juzheng".
If there is no Zhang Juzheng, Daming may not have to wait any longer, and he can announce the death of the country before Wanli dies.
It's a pity that Daming is terminally ill, and good doctors can't save the country.
When he saw the defeat of Salhu, he had already begun to calculate the national glory of the Ming Dynasty with a few years left.
"Nuhar Chi...... Jianzhou Jurchen? ”
Zhu Di was furious and shouted to Tang Cheng, the great eunuch outside the hall, "Spread my will!" Summoning the crown prince, King Qi, the head of the household, the secretary of the military department, and the Duke of England and the Duke of Chengguo, meet in the imperial study! ”
Jianzhou Jurchen, what King Qi said is really incisive.
This girl really deserves to be killed!
……
After a while, everyone rushed to the imperial study to discuss the matter.
His Majesty the Emperor summoned a total of two princes and four ministers, and their factions were clearly divided.
The hawks led by King Qi were supported by Zhang Fu of the British and Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo.
The doves headed by the crown prince are supported by Xia Yuanji, the secretary of the household department, and Fang Bin, the secretary of the military department.
The two seem to be quite balanced, although the small friction is uninterrupted, but the big contradiction has never been put on the table, compared to the previous party dispute with the Han Dynasty, the party dispute between the Qi Wangfu and the East Palace is more subtle and ruthless.
Zhu Di sat on the Jinluan chair and opened his mouth to Wang Zhan: "Let's discuss it, I want to destroy the Jurchens, you give me an idea." ”
The prince's chair was not yet hot, and when he heard this, he even stood up with a rolling belt, and said: "The stakes are very high, please think twice!" ”
"Don't worry, I'm not going to go on a personal expedition this time." Zhu Di said leisurely.
The crown prince breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
His Majesty the Emperor's style of doing things is well known to everyone, as soon as you encounter something that you are not satisfied with, you have to fight, a war is eighty percent of the royal driving pro-conquest, once the imperial driving pro-conquest will definitely involve a hair and move the whole body, at every turn it is a battle of hundreds of thousands of people, no matter how thick the family foundation is, it can't withstand such consumption!
Even if the war is won, if the domestic economy collapses because of the war, then it is better not to fight!
"I plan to ......" His Majesty the Emperor suddenly smiled and said, "Let King Qi be the commander, and the Duke of Britain and the Duke of Chengguo will assist in military affairs, lead 30,000 elites, and send troops to the Northeast!" ”
The crown prince's head suddenly became bigger, if King Qi was in charge, the prestige of King Qi would be high, and the loss would be the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, no matter whether he won or lost, it was not a good thing for the prince.
Xia Yuanji, the head of the household department, said slowly: "Your Majesty just returned from the victory in Mobei last year, and the deficit of the money consumed can be filled, and now the border town is peaceful, why did you send troops to the northeast?" I'm afraid I can't make ends meet. ”
Mr. Xia has made it very clear what he said: How long has it been since the battle in Mobei was over, why did he fight again? Endless?
Now that you, the Yongle Emperor, have beaten all those old neighbors of our Ming Dynasty, whoever sees the banner of the Ming army has to throw away their armor and run away, what do you say you are still fighting?
Xia Yuanji still retains his previous attitude: "No money!" ”
Zhu Di was not used to this Xia Lao picking this time, and said coldly: "What are you fooling with this, it's not the grain of the 300,000 army, and the grain of 30,000 people can't be taken out by your household?" ”
Xia Yuanji asked rhetorically: "These 30,000 people's grain can also be saved, why does Your Majesty insist on sending troops to the northeast?" ”
Zhu Di was speechless for a while, and looked at Zhu Gaoxian.
Boy, it was your idea to send troops to the Jurchen at the beginning, and now Lao Tzu has carried the lion's head for you, and he still hasn't come out to speak to your father?
"I surrounded the Northern Yuan Dynasty with the Nuer Gandu Division, but now the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty are already old dogs to be slaughtered. In the future, the policy of the Nuer Gandu Division is nothing more than to raze and raze in order to save national strength. Zhu Gaoxian said, "However, if it is not my race, its heart will be different." If we continue to do so in this way, we will certainly brew a great enemy in the northeast. Instead of waiting for the future to be poisonous, it is better to take advantage of the weakness of the Jurchen now and cut through the mess quickly! ”
The strategy of the imperial court in Jianzhou and Liaodong has always been very dazzling, and even at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it still maintained this strategy of building fortresses and advancing it.
As Nurhachi continued to expand and become more and more powerful, he had actually attracted the attention of the imperial court, but the imperial court still did not have the idea of directly intervening at this time, but continued to let them bite each other.
On the one hand, the imperial court vigorously supported the Haixi Jurchen Hada Department to contain Nurhachi, even after the death of Wang Tai, the leader of the Hada Tribe, the Hada Department fell into civil strife, and then the Yehe Department took the opportunity to seize the power of the Haixi Jurchens, it still did not give up this established strategy, and continued to support the descendants of Wang Tai, the leader of the Hada Tribe.
On the other hand, with his strong strength, he meddled in the affairs of Liaodong and avoided Nurhachi from unifying the Jurchen tribes. For example, in the 41st year of Wanli, Nurhachi attacked Yehe, and the imperial court sent guerrillas Ma Shinan and Zhou Daqi to lead thousands of troops into Yehe, and Nurhachi was forced to retreat. For example, in the forty-third year of Wanli, Nurhachi planned to wipe out Yehe in one fell swoop, but he stopped again due to the interference of the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, letting the Jurchen tribes fight hard is the established strategy of the Ming Dynasty. For this reason, after Nurhachi defeated the Yehe Nine Coalition Army in the "Battle of Gule Mountain" in the 21st year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty also promoted the Dragon and Tiger generals with Nurhachi's meritorious service, and gave Yin Xin and Dragon and Tiger General swords.
As a rising star, Nurhachi did not have an advantage in the battle between the Jurchen tribes, and no one expected that Nurhachi would be able to quickly kill the Ula tribe, and the Yehe tribe, which was the most powerful, was also quickly defeated by Nurhachi. I'm afraid that even Da Ming himself didn't expect that the strategy he had played for two hundred years would fail.
However, for the current Ming Dynasty, the national strength is strong, there is no need to play these imaginary ones, just push them horizontally!
The shortest straight line between two points is the most efficient way to do this, but this brutal and brutal way!
I can clean you all up, so why bother to engage in "razing to raze" and "strategic advancement"?
"What the fourth brother said is a bit exaggerated." The prince said in a deep voice, "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and governing it according to customs." Because of its land, it is divided into a number of guards and stations, and its chiefs are under the command of them, and they are allowed to breed and graze, and they fly and hunt, so that each can live in peace, and it belongs to the system. ”
"Big brother said well, but how do you guarantee that what you say can be implemented?"
Zhu Gaoxian's face turned cold, "The British Duke and the Duke of Chengguo who are sitting here are in the same military as me. For us, no matter how good the 100-year plan is, it must be implemented for a hundred years. ”
The prince was very uncomfortable after hearing this.
He misses a little bit of Zhu Gaoxian, who was gentle and not good at words, when he was in Yanwang's Mansion.
King Qi was so cute when he was a child, how did he become this macho template of "Lao Tzu will whoever he sees when he is unhappy" when he grows up?
"Minister Zhang Fu, second."
"Minister Zhu Yong, seconded."
The two princes took the lead in making a statement and fully supported Zhu Gaoxian.
Zhu Di didn't give the princelings a chance to continue to refute, and made a decision directly: "I have made up my mind, and I ordered King Qi to select 30,000 elites from the three major battalions, and the British Duke Zhang Fu and Chengguo Duke Zhu Yong trained military horses, listened to King Qi's moderation, and went out to Jianzhou." ”
King Qi is in command, Zhang Fu and Zhu Yong are deputies, and 30,000 elites are selected from the three major battalions of the Beijing Division, what a luxurious lineup!
His Majesty the Emperor is determined to make the ancestor of "Nurhachi" disappear from this world.
Of course, the reason why Zhu Di started the war will inevitably not be so simple.
Since returning from the Northern Expedition, there has been constant party strife in the capital, and the atmosphere is gloomy.
Transfer internal contradictions to external catharsis.
The Qi Wangfu led the troops to fight, and the East Palace engaged in logistics, and eased the high pressure brought by the party struggle through a concerted foreign war.
The sadness did not disappear, but it was transferred from Da Ming to Jurchen.
……
After talking, the others went back to their homes, but Zhu Gaoxian stayed.
Zhu Gaoxian pondered for a moment and asked, "Does my father take care of the rice today?" ”
Zhu Di had a black line, he thought that this little beast had something important to say, but he didn't expect it to be this kind of hanging talk as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Little orange, prepare a few side dishes." Zhu Di beckoned to Tang Cheng.
If it were in the past, the emperor would definitely be a big-eared thunderbolt, but today he was in a good mood and didn't bother with King Qi.
Not long after, the female official of the Shang Food Bureau stepped forward with Huang Pa Zhu Xi and took out the wine and food carefully prepared by the Shang Food Supervisor from the food box.
There are three side dishes on the small table, roasted sea cucumber with green onions, shredded bamboo shoots, roasted mutton, and a pot of high-quality Huadiao wine.
The two of them ate and drank wine on the table, Zhu Gaoxian thought in his heart that today's dish was the right appetite, and there were some problems with the taste of this scallion roasted sea cucumber, but he didn't play football either, so there was nothing wrong with it.
"I took the pressure off for you, if you don't fight this battle, I'll cut off your dog's head when you come back." Zhu Di said with a smile.
"Then if the son wins the battle, what reward will the father have?" Zhu Gaoxian also does not trade at a loss.
The battle is mine, and you will take the benefits, why?
Even if you're my father, you can't bully people like this.
Zhu Di filled the wine cup in front of him, and said without being salty or light: "I won't treat you badly." ”
Zhu Gaoxian was happy: "Could it be that my father is looking for happiness with his sons?" ”
Who doesn't know that the old man's pie painting technique is first-class, the pie painting never stops, and the cashing never starts.
Fool the donkey to finish the work first, and then unload the mill and kill the donkey when the work is done!
Zhu Di said angrily: "What do you lie to you, you kid don't mess around anymore, I said that I won't treat you badly, I will definitely not treat you badly." ”
"The father and the emperor gave his sons a thorough explanation, and the sons and daughters were so relieved." Zhu Gaoxian didn't accept being fooled at all.
Zhu Di thought about it, dipped his fingers in the wine, and wrote a "white" on the table.
"Having won the battle, I will give you a white hat."
The king adds white, which is called "emperor".
Of course, this "emperor" cannot refer to the emperor, Zhu Di feels that he can live for a long time, and he doesn't have to give up the throne.
This "emperor" refers to the future "emperor", that is, the "crown prince"!
Zhu Gaoxian's movements suddenly froze, and he forgot about cooking for a while.
The old man's cake is inevitably too big for Mrs. Wife, right?
Or is it true that Zhu Di didn't paint cakes this time?
Zhu Di picked up the wine glass, but his eyes stayed on King Qi's face, trying to find out King Qi's ambition.
The temptation of the white hat, Zhu Di did not resist twenty years ago, he didn't think King Qi could resist.
