Zhu Yijun really made up his mind, he was going to fight against the left wing for 25 years, he was ready, after all, he had to come up with a result, either the Ming Dynasty completely turned the Tatars, or the Tatars turned against Tiangang.

Altan Khan's left wing is far more powerful than the right-wing Tuban Khan, even if the Tuban Khan is the suzerainty Khan, but a suzerain-lord Khan who has lost the power of the left wing, Transkhalkha, and Warat, is really extremely weak, and the left wing nominally owns the right wing and Transkhalkha, the Western Regions countries, and even part of the Sichuan-Tibet Tusi governance behemoth.

Zhu Yijun's leniency of the enemy was due to the fact that these forces did their best to support Altan Khan, so they had to fight for 25 years, but he slightly miscalculated, the left wing of Tatar is indeed very strong, but it is also quite limited, these forces chose to watch from the sidelines, and provided all support except support.

The sharp knife of the Ming Dynasty was inserted into Daqingshan, which was only a hundred miles away from Jining Haizi, and in the direction of Datong, the Ming Guards were stationed in Dongshengwei again, and Altan Khan sent two thousand households to take back Dongshengwei, but they returned.

Dongshengwei, the place where soldiers must fight, from the right out can threaten Bansheng and Naturalization City, from the left, can threaten the entire Hetao Plain, this is the place of the key, Datong General Soldier Jiao Chengxun, there are 43,815 officers and soldiers, this is the Xuanda Governor Wu Baipeng to carry out the collusion.

When Wang Chonggu was the governor of Xuanda, Longqing reported that there were 135778 people in the imperial court Datong Guard, and the Jin Party ate more than 90,000 people! is more than twice the actual number of people, this is the original Wang Chonggu, the original Jin Party.

In the first year of Wanli, Wang Chonggu, who suffered Zhang Juzheng's iron fist, returned to Xuanda to block the hole of the Xuanda Great Wall, and the 130,000 guards were reduced to 54,321 because of the escape, escape, war damage, injury, release, and clearance, etc., and in the second year of Wanli, the Jin Party still ate more than 10,000 people's empty salaries.

In the whole process, the Ming border army did not decrease in fact, only the empty salary shrank, Zhu Yijun finally chose to turn a blind eye, the past is not to blame, after the first year of Wanli, Wang Chonggu chose to admit it, and did a lot of things solidly, plus Wang Chonggu's fig leaf, it can be said that it is reasonable.

The reduction of empty salaries is mainly due to the return to the people, the Ming Dynasty nine-border army cantonment system, each military household only needs one person to serve, but because of the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars, the soldiers are in danger, and each military household in the Xuanfu of Datong has two or three people.

In addition, the elimination of the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, etc., will further reduce the empty salary.

After Zhang Siwei's head landed, Wu Baipeng became the governor of Xuanda as the Zhejiang Party, and finally conducted a real investigation, and finally determined 43,815 people, and determined the number of members.

Repatriation, purification, and so on are all fig leafs.

Zhu Yijun knew that the Jin Party had eaten empty salaries, and the main reason why he didn't care too much was that the Jin Party actually didn't eat much in his mouth, because at that time, Daming was really poor and scum, and the Jingshi could only do it for three months when he made a budget, and the Daming border side was in a state of long-term arrears.

It is not so much that the Jin Party is eating empty salaries, but it can also be said that the Jin Party is taking the Xuanda border generals and soldiers to compete with the imperial court for salaries.

This is the contradiction, the Jin Party can control the Xuan Dawei Army, but also because the Xuan Dawei Army has its own interests and demands, and needs to rely on the Jin Party to realize, this is a vicious circle, the court can not give full salary, the Jin Party has to do more people to get the silver salary, the court can not give full salary, the number of empty salaries will increase, and finally form a dead knot that cannot be solved without losing his head.

Wu Baipeng is not a three-headed and six-armed immortal, he can squeeze out the water of the empty salary, the biggest reason is that the imperial court is now paying full salary!

It's a can't be calculated, who's right and who's wrong? Between the long-term handling of government affairs, Zhu Yijun found that many things were not right or wrong at all.

Wu Baipeng and Jiao Chengxun knew that their 50,000 people could not defeat Altan Khan, so after the attack began, they built three lines of defense around the Great Wall defense line, the Outer Six Fort Defense Line with Dongshengwei as the key, the Great Wall Defense Line with Datong Right Guard as the key, and the Inner Five Fort Defense Line with Gao Shanwei as the key.

In response to Li Rusong's attack, Altan Khan only invested 10,000 troops in order to block the offensive pace of the Daming Jingying, and in the direction of Datong, especially Dongshengwei, he invested 20,000 troops.

Altan Khan's strategic thinking coincides with Dong Fox, Qi Jiguang's elite Beijing camp can't really be beaten hard, but if you can't beat Qi Jiguang, can't you beat the guards of Xuanfu Datong! Therefore, he concentrated his superior forces and wanted to break through the Great Wall, enter Datong Mansion, and force the Ming army to withdraw.

Wu Baipeng and Jiao Chengxun knew their own strength, and they did not attack, but defended.

Zhu Yijun didn't understand the battle situation very well, so he asked people to announce that Ma Fang was talking about the martial arts hall to solve his doubts.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." As soon as Ma Fang saw His Majesty's beaming joy, he knew that there was good news ahead.

"No courtesy." Zhu Yijun handed the good news in his hand to Ma Fang, a sacrificial wine in the lecture hall.

Ma Fang took out his reading glasses and looked at them for a long time, then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the border army is not strong in combat and weak in attack, but the defense is still very orderly, Dongshengwei seems to be crumbling, but in the face of the impact of two thousand people, he still held it." ”

"This time I held it, Altan Khan wanted to take Dongshengwei again, it would be impossible, the battlefield matter, it was extremely complicated to say, it was simple, in fact, it was a blow, and then it declined, and three were exhausted, Altan Khan didn't take it for the first time, and then wanted to take it, and the military spirit was unusable, and it was already difficult to climb to the sky."

Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "The combat effectiveness of the border army is not strong, but they don't eat much silver, a soldier in the Beijing camp is eighteen taels of silver a year, and the border army is less than ten taels, and the average armament of each soldier in the Beijing camp is twenty-four taels of silver, and the border army is less than four taels. ”

Zhu Yijun's requirement for the border army is to be able to hold it, not to fight out of the fortress, and the border army will be so fed.

Zhu Yijun looked at Ma Fang, frowned and asked, "General Ma, I have some doubts, why do you want to build three lines of defense in the direction of Datong?" The soldiers of the six forts outside the east of the defense battle, knowing that there is still a line of defense behind them, will lose the spirit of defense, once defeated, they will immediately retreat to the next line of defense. ”

"That's what I thought, but now that the six forts outside Dongsheng Wei are defended, I wonder even more about why."

Zhu Yijun expressed his doubts, is it really meaningful to arrange three lines of defense inside and outside the Great Wall? But it looks like it works out.

Ma Fang glanced at His Majesty, the bad news is that His Majesty really has no talent for war, and the good news is that His Majesty never commands people to fight!

To answer this question is very simple.

"Your Majesty, only a strong army can break the cauldron and sink the boat, with the current strength of the Beijing camp, you can directly march from Xuanfu and directly hit Bansheng, there is an eighty percent chance that you can directly take Bansheng." Ma Fang first answered the question of why it is necessary to build three lines of defense.

The border army is not a Beijing camp, not an elite, and the gameplay of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat and raiding for a thousand miles is a method of using troops that belongs only to strong armies and strong generals, and is not applicable to the border army.

Ma Fang further explained: "Your Majesty, the border army is quite complicated, criminals, homeless, bankrupts are full of them, peacetime can still be suppressed under the constraints of military discipline, once the situation is out of control, the destructive power released is extremely amazing, Xuanda Hetao, Shaanxi and Gansu three sides, Hu and Han live together, if there is no line of defense behind them, there is no reliance, but there is no heart to defend, because there is no way to retreat, morale is low, it will mutiniate and collapse the camp, and even flee from the wind, and surrender when the enemy is seen." ”

"There is a way out behind him, but there is a bottom in his heart, and his morale can be used."

"At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Gaozong hurriedly succeeded to the throne, the Jin people went south, and could only barely build a Jianghuai defense line, after Du Chong surrendered to the enemy, the entire defense line completely collapsed, and the Jin people broke through Hangzhou Lin'an, and searched the mountains and seas to arrest Song Gaozong."

Ma Fang combined with specific battle examples for His Majesty to analyze, the Southern Song Dynasty was established at the beginning of the war, and the Southern Song Dynasty, which had only one line of defense, and the Song army on the entire defense line, the final choice was not to break the cauldron and sink the boat, but to surrender and flee.

Ma Fang continued: "There are three lines of defense in the direction of Datong, the outer six forts, the Great Wall, and the inner five forts. The first thing that Governor Wu and General Jiao want to ensure is that they will not be defeated and will not be defeated, and they will be invincible before they are victorious. ”

Defeat but not collapse, what an extravagant idea, Ma Fang fled from the north in the nineteenth year of Jiajing, and fought for the Ming Dynasty for so many years, Wanli has been the only time to be able to recuperate before winning and losing, he is old, and he has no young momentum.

The current military merit system of the Ming Dynasty is a battle line system, not a head reward, which is also the reason why Wu Baipeng dares to think about the arrangement in this way, as long as he can ensure defeat without collapse and stabilize the battle line, the task will be completed, and Altan Khan will face the threat of Qi Jiguang's sharp knife piercing the heart.

"I see, General Xie Ma explained." All the puzzles in Zhu Yijun's heart were solved.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a word." Ma Fang has now gone to the Martial Arts Academy to retire, he should stay away from the disputes in the court, but after thinking about it, he still has to say a few words for Qi Jiguang.

It's been nine years, it's been nine years since the Beijing camp was formed, Ma Fang and Qi Jiguang have partnered for eight years, Qi Jiguang and Li Rusong are greedy for life and afraid of death? Will the characters who come out of the sea of corpses and blood be afraid of death?

"What advice does General Ma have?" Zhu Yijun attaches great importance to Ma Fang's opinion, his experience is the precious wealth of the Ming Dynasty, he really can't lift the knife on the battlefield, but his experience can ensure that the temple does not make fundamental mistakes.

Ma Fang said with a solemn face: "Recently, the minister heard in the martial arts hall that some people say that Qi Jiguang is timid and afraid of things, and Li Rusong is greedy for life and afraid of death. ”

"Indeed, Qi Shuai led the elite to march to Bansheng at this time, and there is an eighty percent chance of winning directly to Bansheng, but what about the remaining two percent? Once defeated, there are no camps available in the grasslands along the way, and the defeat is like a mountain, and the elite is lost, which is a great disaster. ”

"Qi Shuai is not timid and afraid, he holds the saber given by His Majesty, first cut and then play, act cheaply to lead the troops to fight, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility, Qi Shuai has a lot of things to consider, so he is step by step."

"Da Ming has no second Yu Qian Yu Shaobao."

Yu Qian has military talent, but Zhang Juzheng does not, Qi Jiguang really buried the Beijing camp outside the Saiwai, and Daming had to make a big mess.

Ma Fang has heard more or less about the wind power public opinion in the DPRK, and is a little worried, the number of people mobilized by Daming this time is too large, and to maintain a war of this scale, can Daming's financial resources really support it? Ma Fang is really used to living a hard life, so he naturally has this worry, worried that under the actuarial wind, the Ming Emperor will make a choice that is not conducive to the war situation.

When Zhu Yijun heard Ma Fang's advice, he smiled brightly, and said to Ma Fang: "Haha, General Ma is too worried, it's not that I look down on these cheap people, when Qi Shuai was in Beijing, it was really silent, and he didn't dare to mention it, but now, Qi Shuai is leading the troops outside, and their courage has finally grown!" The thought of it makes people laugh. ”

"General Ma believe it or not, if Qi Shuai returns to Beijing in triumph, they will immediately shut up and even sing praises of virtue."

Huang Gongzi of the Qi family of Penglai Huang has made so many troubles in Beijing, and no one in Jingtang dares to say that now Qi Shuai is not at home with the troops outside, and the cheap Confucianism has started a laughing monkey play.

When Ma Fang heard this, the worry in his heart was put down, good news, His Majesty can only laugh at the tricks of the cheap.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Yuanfu and Wang Cifu quarreled in front of the door of the imperial study and asked for an audience." A little yellow door is trembling when he speaks, Zhang Juzheng and Wang Chonggu are the first and second assistants of the empire, these two people quarreled, didn't Daming want the earth to shake?

When the fight was fierce, Zhang Juzheng and Wang Chonggu had never quarreled so fiercely.

"Who?! Declare. Zhu Yijun's face was pale, and the contradiction between the Jin Party and the Zhang Party was far from intensifying to the point where the party leaders tore each other's faces and scolded each other.

"Your Majesty." Zhang Juzheng took Wang Chonggu to bow his head.

"Excuse me, the two of you sit down and talk, what happened, the two auxiliary ministers are so angry?" Zhu Yijun looked at the two of them who were still angry, and asked strangely.

It's noisy to the point of red faces.

"Yuanfu has meritorious service to the society, this is true, Yuanfu said that the minister is a traitorous minister, and the minister also admits it, the minister is a traitor, but Yuanfu said that the minister's "The World is Trapped in Mergers and Rescues Hooligans" has a problem, and there is a big problem, and the minister can't agree!" Wang Chonggu waved his sleeves and said in a loud voice.

After Wang Chonggu returned to Beijing from Xuanda to be the secretary of the Criminal Department, he has been trying his best to avoid conflict with Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng, you have a tough wrist, I can't afford to hide.

But today, Zhang Juzheng called Wang Chonggu to Wenyuan Pavilion, saying that there was a problem with his cash-for-work resettlement of hooligans, and he was not convinced!

You Zhang Juzheng has the way that your Zhang Juzheng will go down in history, and my Wang Chonggu is not worthy!

Placement of hooligans, the official factory is Wang Chonggu's trip to the avenue, as soon as Zhang Juzheng opened his mouth, there is a problem with your route, this Wang Chonggu did not lift the table because he was afraid of Zhang Juzheng's authority, just slapping the table and quarreling.

"A problem is a problem, is it wrong? If I'm not wrong, how could this happen! If you come to you, it's to discuss, it's better for you to slap the table directly in Wenyuan Pavilion, if you have to move in front of Your Majesty, then you won't cover it up! Zhang Juzheng took out two copies of the book and handed them to Zhang Hong, who forwarded them to His Majesty.

"Then let Your Majesty judge!" Wang Chonggu said loudly.

It can be seen that Zhang Juzheng's anger is really big, and Wang Chonggu is also on the tip of the needle to Mai Mang, refusing to make any concessions.

If you Zhang Juzheng is loyal to the monarch and the country for the country and the people, won't he be allowed to make a little contribution to the greatness of the Ming Dynasty again?

Feng Bao hurriedly came from outside, he was on an errand in the half-room master just now, and when he heard that Yuan Fu and Ji Fu were quarreling, he hurried over.

The purpose of rushing over was not to persuade him, he couldn't persuade him, he came here just to see the excitement!

Zhu Yijun finished reading the recital, his face was solemn, he looked at the two of them who were puffing up, and reaffirmed his thoughts, Wan Shi and such a peacemaker and the master of the mud, it is very necessary for such a person to persuade in the court.

"Sir, don't worry, at the beginning, Yang Bo and Yang Dazai didn't agree with Mr.'s test method, so Mr. punched Yang Dazai, kicked Wang Cifu, and drove Dazai and Cifu out of Wenhua Palace." Zhu Yijun talked about the past, seemingly persuading Zhang Juzheng not to be angry, but he also spoke for Wang Chonggu.

Yang Bo disagrees with the examination law, and does not agree to give hundreds of officials a hedge, the purpose is to win over Zhang Juzheng, and then the Chu and Jin confluences, and the examination law offends the bureaucrats of the world, everyone dare not disobey when you are alive, and you will be liquidated after death.

Yang Bo's conditions are not rich, with Zhang Juzheng's hand, Zhang Juzheng promised at that time that the Jin Party would inevitably be completely controlled by Zhang Juzheng.

That's it, Zhang Juzheng drove Yang Bo and Wang Chonggu out of the court.

When his trip to the avenue was questioned, Wang Chonggu's reaction was already excellent.

Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu again, thought for a while and said: "Wang Cifu is loyal to the monarch and the country, I have always known it, why should the second assistant be so worried?" In the process of development, contradictions are sequential, and when one contradiction is resolved, another contradiction will appear, and there is no problem in resettling hooligans, but it is normal for some flaws to appear. ”

"Wang Cifu misunderstood Mr., Mr. asked Cifu to go to Wenyuan Pavilion to check and fill in the gaps for Sifu, not for humiliation, not for party struggle, if it is really for party strife, why communicate in advance, and talk about things when it is discussed in Wenhua Palace, Cifu will inevitably lose face."

"During the two Song Dynasty, the coal was monopolized, and at that time, Kaifeng had 200 yuan of coal per catty, and Mr. was also to settle the hooligans of the second assistant and check and fill in the gaps."

Zhu Yijun has set a personality for this matter, and there are indeed some inevitable problems in the construction of the official factory group.

Zhang Juzheng didn't speak, it was a tacit acquiescence, in fact, Zhang Juzheng didn't mean to check and fill in the gaps, that is, to beat Wang Chonggu, the Ming army fought on the grassland, the Jin party was honest, and there was nothing else to do, if the Ming army was defeated because of some 'Chinese someone' in the Jin party, the Ming Emperor's guillotine would also be directed to Wang Chonggu.

He didn't explain it because he gave face to the emperor, and His Majesty came forward to be a peacemaker, and if he continued to beat, it would not give His Majesty face.

Wang Chonggu has to quarrel with Zhang Juzheng to come to the palace, but also to give himself a step, as the leader of the Jin Party, can't you Zhang Juzheng knock when he says knock, and beat when he says beat, he Wang Chonggu doesn't want to lose face? If you make trouble in front of Your Majesty, you can come down to the stage.

How old are the people, they still quarrel, they quarreled until they were red-faced, and even quarreled in front of His Majesty, but they were all actors.

Zhu Yijun looked at the two auxiliary ministers, and also understood the quarrel between the two, which was the performance of the actor, Zhu Yijun opened his mouth to persuade peace, and the scene came to an end, and he picked up the song again and watched it in detail.

As Zhu Yijun said, the two Song Dynasty courts were very good at making money, salt, iron, coal, wine and other things were franchises, and then these franchised things became a sharp blade cut to the people.

And the Daming official factory group building, this is just the beginning, there have already been problems, these two books, respectively, correspond to two problems, rigid and bloated, and these two problems lead to an inevitable problem, corruption.

Rigidity, the Ming Dynasty has been rigid to varying degrees, the specific performance is: is the Ming Fujian Weaving Bureau, there is a loss, silk so profitable industry, can also have losses, naturally aroused the suspicion of the Ministry of Industry and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and then triggered an inspection, in the absence of the Ministry of Labor's task, the entire Fujian Weaving Bureau is in a state of production, but the labor remuneration of the weaver is still issued in the accounts.

However, the investigation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Industry is not like this at all, the labor remuneration issued on the accounts has not reached the hands of the weaver girl, and some people are greedy for ink; The weaving bureau to be produced is not not not weaving, but the state of starting, where is the woven silk?

In the spring of this year, Shen Shixing found that a total of 124 boat ponds had been paid empty salaries to varying degrees, and some people had been absent from their posts for one to three years due to illness, supporting their sick parents, traveling, and so on.

Moreover, more than 100 of the 400 craftsmen in a boat pond are managers, and these more than 100 people only eat silver and do not work, and the management personnel are too large, which is inevitably related to eating empty salaries.

In Songjiang Shipyard alone, there are more than 452 people who lead the imperial court, and they are not on duty once a year; There are more than 1,000 people, and the annual sit-in class does not exceed a month at this time.

There is a clear chain of interests in this that has been ascertained by Shen Shixing, that is, in addition to the person who eats the empty salary, some of them have fallen into the hands of the officials and factories under management, which is also the fundamental reason why the officials and officials of the government and factories turn a blind eye.

Shen Shixing can find out the root cause of the phenomenon of declining production capacity and high cost, and also provides a complete set of solutions, streamlining the organizational structure, the construction of the supervision mechanism, and the most important punishment.

As long as he gets the emperor's approval, Shen Shixing can make a bold move against these moths.

"These methods of Governor Shen, I think they are still effective, they are rigid and bloated, and they cannot be solved by simply changing the general office, but they still have to start with system construction, and they must be inward-looking." Zhu Yijun Zhu approved Shen Shixing's recital, and sealed it.

On the issue of the quarrel between the first assistant and the second assistant, Zhu Yijun did not play fifty boards each, and still chose to support Zhang Juzheng, of course, Wang Chonggu made this trouble, and it was not a loss, the emperor admonished his courtiers, which was a matter of course, and tested the emperor's true attitude through means that were similar to nonsense.

There is no problem on the road of development, that is the hell, that is the big problem of the undercurrent, not afraid of problems, afraid of problems, do not solve problems, but evade, dodge, big things into small things, no end, this small disease will eventually pile up little by little, become a big problem, and finally the building that was finally built collapsed.

Zhu Yijun, Zhang Juzheng, and Wang Chonggu briefly discussed and agreed to discuss tomorrow's court.

"The ministers are leaving." Zhang Juzheng, Wang Chonggu and Ma Fang chose to leave the imperial study.

Out of the door, Ma Fang didn't pay attention to the two of them, arched his hand, and left directly.

"Wang Cifu is really a good means, Your Majesty has already seen it, I still remind Wang Cifu that those who are optimistic about themselves, if someone cooperates with Altan Khan, the bone crowing knife outside the noon gate is quite sharp." Zhang Juzheng held his right hand, his left hand behind his back, looked at Wang Chonggu, and said in an unkind tone.

"This is also thanks to Yuanfu's good cooperation, Your Majesty can see clearly, Xie Yuanfu reminded, I am naturally optimistic about my own people, you know that Your Majesty will kill, but there are some things in this world that are much more terrible than death, and letting Your Majesty do it will only make people die, but this introvert is not as simple as death." Wang Chonggu said quite calmly.

"That's good." Zhang Juzheng nodded, and he was extremely satisfied with Wang Chonggu's methods.

If Wang Chonggu makes a move, he will squeeze the other party out, and at the same time let the other party owe a lot of debts, in order to repay the debt, the female dependents are prostitutes, and the men are slaves, and those who are the first evildoers are afraid that they will be locked up together and starve to death.

Zhang Juzheng heard that Wang Chonggu punished traitors when he was young, dozens of people were locked together, and after 18 days the door was opened, there was only one living creature left, very hungry, and the others were also food, that time, Wang Chonggu's eldest son Wang Yisai was killed, and the betrayal of Wang Chonggu was the northern captives who surrendered.

The northern captives who came to serve did not meet the amnesty, they were all lowly, and the lowlys died, and no one cared about them.

"Yuanfu, we advocated peace at the beginning, but Longqing negotiated peace, but Yuanfu, Gao Gong, Yang Bo and me, we did it together, and now we are fighting again, will anyone take the opportunity to make trouble?" Wang Chonggu asked in a low voice.

Zhang Juzheng said calmly: "When I first negotiated peace, I said: The purpose of negotiating peace is to recuperate and revitalize the armed forces, and if we fight today, isn't it the same as what was said at the beginning?" ”

"Sir is really a scholar!" Wang Chonggu was breathtaking!

Recuperate and accumulate strength for the future, but at that time, I couldn't fight anymore, so I had to negotiate peace and fool people's nonsense!

But the development of things is a ghost story, Zhang Juzheng is really a reader, talking nonsense, all so frank!

"That's what I want to say, and that's what I do." Zhang Juzheng turned around and left, Wenyuan Pavilion still had many floating tickets to write.

(End of chapter)
