In the imperial study room of the Chengtian Mansion Palace, now sitting here, the great Yongtian has become a middle-aged man with a black beard, and the eunuchs have also been replaced.

Once the Son of Heaven was a courtier, although many of the important ministers in the court were still old teams, the people around the Son of Heaven should still be replaced, and there will never be a shortage of masters around the Son of Heaven.

In fact, the new emperor admires Xiao Yuzhi, the name of the Chengtian Mansion, but he respects the opinion of Chengtian Mansion Yin and Xiao Yuzhi's own wishes, otherwise he will be promoted to a personal guard with a knife.

"Whew"

After processing a batch of movements, the current Son of Heaven rubbed his forehead at this time.

"Your Majesty, would you like some refreshments?"

"Hmm."

The eunuch next to him immediately went to order, while the emperor frowned and looked at the many unresolved matters on the table.

I always thought about this position before I became an emperor, but after I became an emperor, I realized that this chair was not easy to sit on.

After only one year on the throne, Xiang Ziji already realized that he could not do the same level as his father.

But this prince, who was once considered by the first emperor to be relatively benevolent and weak, actually has a lot of energy in his heart, after all, people are not mud, and no one will be willing to be left behind, even in the face of his father.

The Chengxing period is recognized as a prosperous era in the world, Xiang Ziji does not say that he is arrogant to transcendence, but the name of Hongxing is enough to show that he is an ambitious emperor.

I have to say that even though Xiang Yi always feels that his sons still have many shortcomings, his education is obviously very successful, and none of the princes who can be designated by him as candidates for the prince are mediocre.

After eating a snack, they rested for a long time, and immediately a eunuch from outside hurried in.

"Your Majesty, Governor Zou asks to see you!"

As soon as he heard this, the emperor immediately frowned, he could almost guess what the old governor was doing here, and this was what troubled him.

"Let him come in, and go immediately to pass on Chu Hang, Li Qian, You Jin, and Chang Zile to come over!"

"Yes!"

The old governor Zou Jie seems to have become more stubborn now as he gets older, and the first emperor may have been fine when he was there, but the year after the death of the first emperor was especially serious.

But the prestige of the old governor is too heavy, to be honest, the new emperor can't suppress him, and it's not good to remove him casually, and he can only invite some important ministers to come over and discuss a result to convince the old man.

Since the rise of the steppe khanate and the harassment of the border passes, especially after the Thundering General defeated the enemy several times the enemy army with 2,000 and pursued it for 200 miles, the voice of the army asking for war has become more and more vigorous.

It seems that even the old governor can't hold his breath.

Everyone knew that the steppe khanate was definitely a threat, and the emperor himself knew it, and even thought about it at one point.

But I also discussed with many important ministers in private, and I also carefully understood the situation reported by some generals in the army, and knew that Bing Ge was not easy to move, and Dayong seemed to be rich and strong, but the preparation was far from enough.

Between the turns of his thoughts, the emperor turned to look at the sword of the Son of Heaven hanging on the wall, this sword accompanied by the scroll of Yi Daozi calligraphy, which was left by his father and was also the new emperor's favorite thing.

The first emperor has laid a solid foundation.

But it was not time yet, in Chu Hang's words, those preparations were originally mainly aimed at Nanyan, and there was still a lack of grassland nomadic cavalry.

What's more, although Dayong is strong now, he can't withstand the enemy on both sides, and the Nanyan people can't be reliable when they use troops on the grassland!

Thinking so, the footsteps of the old governor had already been heard, and the emperor immediately sat down and waited.

——

Although he was old, the old governor walked like a fly, without showing any twilight, and immediately bent down to salute when he entered.

"Old minister Zou Jie, I've seen Your Majesty!"

"The old governor is exempt!"

Zou Jie raised his head to look at the emperor and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, you must know why the old minister is here, the group of wolf ambitions in the Ursar Khanate, they should be completely eradicated while their foothold is not stable, and the opportunity must not be lost and will not come again! If you wait for them to grow, you will have to pay more in the future! ”

The old governor's military vision is still there, and through the many reports from the border passes and the great yong, he is particularly vigilant against this nomadic khanate.

"What the old governor said is very true, but the soldiers should not be moved lightly!"

"Your Majesty! The first emperor changed the military system, trained new soldiers, set up warehouses, enriched the world, and the great Yong country was rich and the people were strong, how could he not send troops? ”

Since the reconciliation with Nanyan, the training recruits have been comfortable for more than ten years, and not all soldiers are as brave as the land led by General Thundering.

This kind of thing the emperor can only think about in his heart, and it is difficult to say it.

"I understand the mood of the old governor, and sit down for a while, I have ordered someone to pass on a few ministers, if you really want to use troops, you will take the whole body, you must not discuss! Let's talk about the generals first."

"Yes!"

This is the proper meaning, and hope rises in the heart of the old handsome.

Not long after he sat down, several important ministers arrived, and the sound of discussion in the imperial study also sounded.

After discussing for a long time, he could only extinguish the idea of moving troops immediately.

Sergeants, reserves, ordnance, grain and grass, neighbors, and other matters are superimposed, and it is indeed not easy to move troops now, and now the intensity of the grassland people's harassment of the Dayong border pass has been greatly reduced.

Indeed, if the great yong is at any cost, he can fully afford a big battle, but he is not guaranteed to win.

"Old Dudu, I'm not at that point of urgency, I can be fully prepared to do it again!"

Chu Hang said this, although Zou Jie already understood these truths, he still couldn't help but argue.

"But the ambition of the grassland people and wolves, if they are allowed to grow, it will be too late to regret it!"

At this moment, the emperor suddenly untied the sword of the Son of Heaven from the wall, and buckled it on the imperial case with a "bang", which also shocked the surrounding ministers, and thought that the emperor was dissatisfied with the old governor.

Chu Hang and the others were just about to relieve the siege and persuade them, but they saw the emperor looking at the old governor.

"Zou Lao Du Governor is too long, others will destroy their own prestige, my Dayong country is rich and the people are strong, the army is strong, and the grassland people will be strong, won't I be Dayong? They can all ride and shoot when they get on the horse, even if two or three years later, it will still be this number, and I can recruit soldiers widely! ”

It was difficult for the old governor to refute this, and he seemed to be shocked by the momentum of the Son of Heaven.

At this moment, the emperor's tone softened.

"Old Governor, in terms of military affairs, I have all the difficulties to discuss with the Governor, but I still have something to understand, the reason why the Ursar Khanate can be established is because of the grassland tribes to survive, and today the soldiers of the Khanate are in full swing, like the moment of a drum!"

"But how long can their hearts be together for the benefit of plunder? Don't worry, the old governor, those who violate my Dayong border, I remember it! ”

At this moment, the emperor's heart beat a little faster, and while he was excited, he also understood that he had suppressed this old handsome, and his tone was more calm.

"As Zuo Servant said, prepare for the camp step by step, even if Nan Yan has a thief heart at that time? Dayong obviously has the conditions to win, so why rush to take risks for a while? The old governor said, yes and no? ”

Talking about this, the old governor Zou Jiechang, who had been silent for a long time, sighed.

"What Your Majesty said is very true, the old man alas, but the old man may not be able to catch up"

The surrounding courtiers were slightly stunned, and the emperor was also suddenly in his heart, and at this moment he had a deeper understanding of what the courtiers were thinking.

"That's it, as long as Dayong is prosperous and prosperous and strong in the world."

This sentence seems to be a good result of the negotiation between the monarch and the minister, but in fact, the old governor reconciled with himself.

Since the commander of the army, the old governor has experienced the darkest and most aggrieved era of Dayong, and he has not led a qualified army to fight any beautiful battles, and now the conditions are gradually ripe, but people may not be able to wait.

The body of a person who practices martial arts knows that his internal force is gradually declining, and it will not be a few years.

"Your Majesty, please allow the old minister to retire!"

"Good"

——

In Yuanjiang County, Yuezhou, Yi Shuyuan still lives leisurely in Xihe Village.

Even if he doesn't use any immortal magic techniques, and he can't count hexagrams without pinching, Yi Shuyuan also knows that the world's variables will rise.

The reason is very simple, just like at this moment, Yi Shuyuan and his eldest nephew Yi Yongan are fishing at the mouth of the river, and if there is no fish to take the bait, they will naturally chat a few words.

"Uncle, you said that this grassland barbarian is really not a thing, and he dares to keep harassing my Dayong border, but it hurts the people at the border, why didn't the emperor send troops to kill this group of bold Hulu!"

Yi Shuyuan glanced at Yi Yong'an.

"Sending troops is what you say?"

"Alas, of course I can't, the emperor can! And the Nanyan thief, I heard that it is not very stable, it is not a good thing! ”

Yi Shuyuan looked at the float quietly and did not speak.

In the early summer of the fourth year of Hongxing, even his eldest nephew occasionally came to say something like "grassland barbarian" and "Nanyan thief".

In a society without TV and the Internet, this situation is enough to show that Dayong has completed the psychological construction at the social level.

And this kind of secret hand with extremely obvious characteristics is very similar to Chu Hang's means of pushing.

Although the Son of Heaven has not moved his army, the sword has been picked up a long time ago!

Are the steppe people greedy? is indeed greedy, even if he has suffered a big loss in the hands of Duan Silie and has been reined in for a while, he still moves frequently, and he will increase his efforts later, not only for Dayong, but also for Nan Yan.

But perhaps in the values of the steppe people themselves, they do not think so.

At this moment, although Yi Shuyuan sat at the mouth of the river and enjoyed the tranquility of the village, and did not use any immortal methods, he had a sense of looking at the general trend of the world from afar.

Perhaps this is the feeling of a hermit master that Emperor Mingzong longs for, not a stunned person after a slight misunderstanding like Yi Shuyuan.

"Hooked, fish hooked, hahahaha"

Yi Yongan shouted excitedly, carrying the fish and enjoying the pleasure of slipping the fish.

The eldest nephew interrupted Yi Shuyuan's reverie about himself at the moment, and looked at this scene with a grin, this old boy is living a chic life at a very old age.

——

Since last year, the number of recruits has increased much more than usual, and recruitment notices have also been quietly posted in various places.

There have been some unexpected developments during this period.

The recruitment of soldiers in the Dayong Dynasty was relatively tendentious, and generally considered the physical fitness, economy and livelihood of the local personnel.

However, in the course of the year, many young people from Lingdong appeared at the recruitment points in many places, and many of them rushed to the recruiting places from their hometowns in groups.

There is a cloud in the text of the relevant local officials: there are 30,000 soldiers in the army, 10,000 Lingdong soldiers, and they are all from good families
