In fact, as far as the Ming Dynasty is concerned at this stage, the Mobei forces can no longer pose a threat, even if it is the unification of Mobei, it will not threaten the Ming Dynasty.

Daming has a strong city, a good artillery, and sanctions (trade), on the surface, as long as it is not waved, there is basically no chance in the Mobei grassland.

But that doesn't mean you can sit back and relax.

In fact, there is still a potential threat, and this potential threat does not come from the civilian clique, but from the border generals.

There is no other reason - the smuggling trade!

The interests of civil officials mostly come from the smuggling trade in the south, while the interests of military generals mostly come from the smuggling trade in the north.

The tea and horse trade was concentrated in the hands of the imperial court, and no one was allowed to participate in the slightest, because this was the best way to effectively control the Mobei forces, and Ouyang Lun died in this matter back then.

Otherwise, Lao Zhu would not have killed his son-in-law!

But when the profits are high enough, there is no shortage of people like Ouyang Lun at any time.

It is no secret that border generals smuggle, and the army is also corrupt!

It's just that they don't dare to play too much, the scale is far less big than Ouyang Lun at the beginning, and it is not as rampant as him.

But Zhu Jianshen is still not at ease, although the smuggling of the border generals is not enough to affect the overall situation, but this is because he is the emperor with real power, he can control it, but he does not dare to guarantee that his son can also control it.

So...... Still have to fight!

hit it ruthlessly, which made the Mobei forces hurt and dispelled their bad intentions.

Considering that there would be some risk of letting these secretly smuggling border generals hit their buyers, Zhu Jianshen still decided to use Wang Zhi.

Zhu Jian has a deep mind and a big strategy, and he has always been wise in major affairs, he knows very well that either he will not fight, or he will fight, and he will have something to gain.

Otherwise, not only will it waste money in vain, but it will also make people feel that Daming is not strong enough, thus breeding ambitions.

Qianqing Palace.

Wang Zhi came after receiving the edict and saluted respectfully: "Slaves and maids see the emperor." ”

"Well, flat."

Zhu Jianshen took a sip of the teacup, and said casually: "The eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor's palm seal, the eunuch of the Xichang Admiral has been doing it for so many years, think about it, among the military generals of Wenchen, there are also many people who have begged you, right?" ”

Wang straightened, knelt down again, and said, "The slave and maid are guilty, please punish the emperor." ”

"Huh...... Look at the one who scared you, did I say I blamed you? Zhu Jianshen shook his head and put down the teacup, "If you have power, there will inevitably be vassals, whether you want to or not, you can't stop this kind of thing, and it's not a big deal, as long as your heart is here." ”

"The slave only has the emperor in her heart!" Wang Zhi said seriously, and then, he said: "The slave and maid are guilty, and the slave and maid will pay strict attention in the future, the emperor, the officials who make friends with the slave and maid in private include the cabinet scholar Wan'an, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites......"

"Huh? There is no need to repay the account, I did not call you to ask for sin. Zhu Jianshen waved his hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "Among these people you have befriended, there are people who are good at military affairs...... Civil service? ”

Wang Zhi was stunned and replied truthfully: "There is one." ”

"Who?"

"Wang Yue of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

"The right capital of the imperial history of the king Yue ......" Zhu Jianshen nodded slowly and asked, "How much do you know about this person?" ”

"This man is quite strategic." Wang Zhi was very clever and understood that the emperor might want to find a civilian official to supervise military affairs, so he replied pertinently: "When he was young and studying hard, he sighed and resented the death of the two Song Dynasty, and he hated Hu Lu to the core, so he dabbled in a wide range ......of military books."

Zhu Jianshen listened to it for a while, then stopped listening and asked, "Can you suppress him?" ”

Wang Zhi groaned slightly, and affirmed: "Yes!" ”

"That's good!" Zhu Jianshen said, "I will give you another chance to make meritorious contributions." ”

"Please show the emperor." Wang Zhi tried his best to suppress his excitement, but he still trembled irrepressibly, he knew what this credit was—military merit!

It's time to lead troops into battle, and it's time to look up to idols...... Wang Zhi's delicate face was red.

"I want to use troops against Mobei!" Zhu Jianshen didn't sell Guan Zi, "But this time I don't need a border general, you can go and talk to that Wang Yue first." ”

"Yes." Wang Zhi's voice trembled, swallowed his saliva, and asked, "Dare to ask the emperor, when will it ...... Dispatch troops? ”

"Two months from now." Zhu Jianshen said, "During this time, you should prepare well, don't leak the news." ”

The military is no different from anything else, and it cannot be appointed temporarily, and people must be prepared in advance.

However, Zhu Jianshen is not worried about leaking the news, and no one will shout all over the world.

"The slave obeys." Wang Zhi kowtowed and asked, "Does the emperor want to see him?" ”

"Not now." Zhu Jianshen said: "He is a supporting role. ”

In a word, Wang Zhi's already excited heart boiled directly, and he almost had to ...... Intracranial orgasm.

~

After Wang Zhi retreated, Zhu Jianshen summoned Wan An again.

Zhu Jianshen said decisively and simply: "Wan'an, find some people to impeach the border general for smuggling." ”

"Obey." Wan An's ability is average, but he is very good, and he has a deep understanding of his ability and position, he is the emperor, as long as he is obedient.

If the emperor doesn't say it, he doesn't ask, just do it.

Under his operation, the impeachment of the border general smuggling was soon filled with Zhu Jianshen's imperial case.

Zhu Jianshen was furious and urgently summoned the chief military officers of Xuanfu and Datong border towns to Beijing.

The latter received the holy decree, and his heart was weak, but he did not dare to resist the decree, and came to Beijing with fear.

Zhu Jianshen did not directly surrender the crime, nor did he let the factory guard investigate thoroughly, but only said that after receiving the impeachment report, he summoned the secretary to ask about it, but there was a smuggling act.

As soon as they saw this posture, all the general soldiers immediately shouted injustice, refused to admit the fact of smuggling, and attacked the civilian clique.

You don't have clean butts yourself, and you're embarrassed to impeach us?

No matter what Lao Tzu is, there is still the merit of defending the land, even if there is no merit, then there is hard work, you group of wine bags and rice bags that can't blow in the wind all day long, and can't be drenched in the rain, also have the face to say to us?

Civilian, official, and military generals have been fighting openly and secretly for more than 100 years, and there is natural discord, and the contradictory relationship that has gradually eased has once again entered the stage of incompatibility.

The civilian-bureaucratic clique is bitter in their hearts, they know that they are being used as guns, but they are not easy to say it openly, and they do not want to say it clearly.

First, they do look down on military generals; Second, their smuggling trade has suffered a heavy blow, and they are naturally happy to see the generals eat it, otherwise they will always feel unhappy.

Again, although Emperor Chenghua said that he did not talk about martial virtues, he attached great importance to the rules, and generally did not break them easily.

So, the two sides pinched on without saying a word.

Civil officials are addicted to food, and they want to have a martial arts fight when they roll up their arms and sleeves, but they are ...... Zhu Jianshen stopped it.

With your physique, will you?

Zhu Jianshen is happy to see that the relationship between the high-ranking officials of the Beijing division and the generals in the border towns and important places is not compatible, but he does not want the two sides to become mortal enemies, what he wants is checks and balances, not infighting regardless of the cost.

So, he, the initiator, became a peacemaker instead.

After appeasing both sides, Zhu Jianshen said his ultimate goal.

Wang Yue, the right capital of the Imperial Palace, admits military affairs!

This is an extremely abnormal political signal, not only the military generals are stunned, but also the civilian officials find it incredible.

Did the emperor take the wrong medicine?

Before they had time to think about the reason, they immediately stood in line brainlessly and shouted the emperor's sage.

The generals are dissatisfied, this is stripping them of the power in their hands, and they naturally want to oppose it.

This time, without Zhu Jianshen speaking, the civil official helped him speak.

They did not quarrel directly, but urged the emperor to thoroughly investigate the smuggling trade, and with just one sentence, they blocked the mouths of these generals.

Who's got a clean ass?

Some things are fine if they are not investigated, but once they are put on the line, officials in the world will be beheaded if they do not practice martial arts.

Turbidity has always been the norm.

It's just a matter of varying degrees of turbidity.

……

After Zhu Jianshen solved the border generals, he was relieved to enable Wang Yue, and it was only at this time that he issued a will.

Use soldiers to desert north!

In this regard, the civilian officials are happy to agree, because although this time it is said that it is a military matter, but the civilian officials who are leading the way have a rare opportunity and must seize it.

There were almost no obstacles, and everything from the transfer of food to the transfer of troops was very smooth, but for the sake of safety, Zhu Jianshen transferred the elite of the Beijing camp. gòйЪ.ōΓg

The number of troops transferred is not large, only 20,000, but it is absolutely elite.

Wang Yue was the commander-in-chief, Wang Zhi was the commander of the army, and what the civilian clique did not know was that the power of the army supervisor this time was even greater than that of the commander-in-chief.

Because Wang Zhi has the king's flag!

Zhu Jianshen went around in a big circle, and the person who finally trusted and entrusted him with important tasks was still Wang Zhi.

However, after all, he did not dare to set a precedent for letting eunuchs lead troops to fight.

is so painstaking, but also does not want to leave a hidden danger for future generations.

Eunuchs are generally loyal, but they can't be unguarded, with the Han and Tang eunuchs in front, how could Zhu Jianshen not be careful?

After more than two months of busy work, the elite of the Ming army that swept Mobei finally embarked on the journey.

On this day, Zhu Jianshen stopped the court meeting and personally led hundreds of officials to see off the army.

Wang Yue is excited, Wang Zhi is even more excited, both of them have a strong desire to lead soldiers to fight and make military achievements, now that their dreams have come true, how can they not be excited?

Before leaving, the two made a military order: do not break the main force of the Mobei Tartars, and come to see the emperor!

Zhu Jian nodded with a deep smile, also full of confidence.

With the current situation of the Tartars, these 20,000 elites couldn't lose at all in the past, it was nothing more than the difference between a small victory and a big victory......

Wang Zhi, who entered the palace at the age of six, finally ushered in the highlight moment of his life, and he was only twenty-two years old this year.

In the group of eunuchs, twenty-two years old can be said to be quite young, most of the eunuchs of the same age are working as coolies, it is extremely remarkable to be able to mix a eunuch with a class, but he is already the apex of eunuchs!

Wang Zhi set off, with his teenage dream......

Zhu Jianshen relaxed, he had done everything he wanted to do and what he wanted to do, and the next step was to stabilize the situation and let his measures take deep roots, and he must not let these nearly 20 years of efforts go to waste.

Or ...... Died in one day.

He is very deep, and he is definitely worthy of being called a hero!

"After this battle is over, you can have a good rest, and you can ...... step by step in the future" Zhu Jianshen was a little tired and relaxed.

Since the fifteenth year of Jingtai and the eighteenth year of Chenghua, nearly 20 years of wits and courage have consumed too much of his energy.

In the days to come, he will be able to enjoy himself......
