Chongzhen Chat Group

"Your Majesty, I believe that the Mongolian tribes are so greedy that they will take the opportunity to threaten and raise prices all over the place. We must defeat them!"

Lu Ruipeng was sent to Yang Sichang's side for this imperial meeting. After hearing the conversation, he also expressed his views through Lu Ruipeng: "Your Majesty, I second the governor's proposal. The messenger sent by me reported that the Mongolian tribe was because of Natural disasters, lack of food and clothing, life is not easy. Several tribes even have external pressure. According to observations, the Zhungeer tribe seems to be very ambitious and has plans to plot against Tibet; while the Heshuote tribe seems to be in conflict with the northern tribes. There is a conflict between Tsarism and Russia. These tribes are likely to get as many benefits as possible from the Ming Dynasty to meet their material needs to deal with the surrounding areas."

"But Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty is spending money everywhere now. The current expenditure is already stretched and it is really unable to start another war. If the war remains unresolved for a long time, it will bring down the country. Is it possible to raise taxes?" Wen Tiren argued. Strive to dissuade him with earnest words.

After hearing this, Hong Chengchou still objected: "Your Majesty, the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. Only by quickly solving the Mongolian tribes in the west can the development of the Hetao be uninterrupted and as many victims as possible from Qin and Jin be resettled!"

"..."

Listening to their opinions, Emperor Chongzhen frowned and did not immediately express his opinion.

He could tell that there were two main suggestions, which could be summarized as the Naturalization Sect and the Capital Sect. Emperor Chongzhen could also understand these two viewpoints. They were based on their own perspectives and wanted to get the maximum benefit for themselves.

Regarding these two views, it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong, but there is a kind of debate where the public says the public is right and the mother-in-law says the mother-in-law is right. But this is not a family matter after all. It is a major event that affects the entire Ming Dynasty and affects countless people. It must be implemented in the most appropriate way.

After listening for a while, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly discovered that Shen Yongmao seemed to have stopped talking after he started to say something. Could he have other ideas?

With this in mind, he interrupted the debate between the two groups and asked Shen Yongmao: "Shen Qing is the Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty. I see that you have been silent, do you have any different opinions?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall stopped talking and turned to look at Shen Yongmao with expectation in their eyes.

Sure enough, Shen Yongmao had his own ideas. He bowed to Emperor Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty, I just heard what Governor Yang said. It seems that several large Mongolian tribes have their enemies. I thought, the enemies Their enemies are friends. In this case, it is better to send envoys to contact their enemies, such as Qinghai and Tibet, as well as Tsarist Russia, and plot it together!"

When Wen Tiren heard this, he weighed it quickly and said, "I think it's okay!"

"Your Majesty, this will take a long time, and it is difficult to say whether it can achieve the goal. I think it is inappropriate!" Hong Chengchou expressed his objection after hearing this.

This time, Emperor Chongzhen finally did not remain silent anymore, and immediately shook his head and said: "I don't know about the others, but I know that Tsarist Russia is a greedy country. Now I am afraid that it has been coveting the eastern land for a long time, and it is estimated that it has sent troops. As for Tsarist Russia, absolutely You cannot seek skin from a tiger, Ming Dynasty will have to fight with it sooner or later..."

Hearing this, all the courtiers couldn't help but be surprised. They wondered how the emperor knew so much about this tsarist Russia? Or maybe someone from the factory secretly investigated and found out?

Just as they were thinking, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly raised his voice and spoke, which brought them back from their thoughts: "To forge iron, you need to be strong yourself. I, the Ming Dynasty, cannot seek the skin of a tiger and pin the hope of solving the problem on others!"

Wen Tiren nodded after hearing this. This is the truth, but the problem is that Ming Dynasty itself is not strong enough now! Your Majesty, please don't pretend to be fat. Did you follow Hong Chengchou's advice?

Thinking this way, he was a little worried and wanted to wait until Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking before emphasizing his point of view to prevent the emperor from possible impulse.

However, Emperor Chongzhen obviously exceeded his expectations. As he talked, he combined the suggestions from both sides in his mind, and suddenly he came up with a way to get the best of both worlds.

Emperor Chongzhen said in a loud voice: "I have an idea. Regarding the current situation in Hetao, we must not only show the strength and determination of the Ming Dynasty, but also prevent the war from expanding under the current circumstances. Therefore, can Hong Qing? Can you do it, use a thunder blow to wipe out the Stone-Bulling Rabbit tribe? The key to this battle must be to decide the Stone-Bulling Rabbit tribe in one battle, can you do it?"

After asking, Emperor Chongzhen thought for a moment and then added: "To the east of Guihua City, you don't need to think about it for the time being. Jianlu will definitely be unable to move and will have no time to worry about the Loop. Even if they want to send troops, I will get the news in time. Still The same is true with the Mongolian tribes in the east!"

This means that Hong Chengchou can use the maximum number of troops, leaving only a very small number of troops at home. This is impossible for ordinary people, but Emperor Chongzhen was able to do this with the chat group at hand.

"Your Majesty, I should be able to do it!" Hong Chengchou hesitated for a while before answering.

He knew that when his opinions and those of the chief minister and others were in a stalemate, the compromise method proposed by the emperor was already the best method, and it was basically going to be implemented in this way.

But he didn't know how Bu Shitu would respond? After experiencing a previous naturalization battle, he enjoyed the feeling of being transparent to the battlefield. I no longer feel this way, I'm not used to it anymore.

Wen Tiren also knew that the final plan must be what the emperor said. After hearing Hong Chengchou's answer, Wen Tiren was a little worried and immediately solemnly suggested: "Your Majesty's proposal, I agree with it, you must fight the tiger against the rabbit. Only by killing a chicken with a bull's-eye can we achieve the goal of frightening the Mongolian tribes in the west!"

Emperor Chongzhen knew that they all understood the point of what he said, so he nodded and said: "In this case, I will order the governors of the three sides to mobilize elite cavalry, just like the last time they participated in the war. In this way, I believe that the military power of the Ming Dynasty will always be overwhelming. An advantage!”

Hearing this, Hong Chengchou was overjoyed. This gave him greater confidence. He immediately replied: "I will definitely destroy Bu Shitu's troops!"

Bu Shitu sent people to hunt down the Ming envoy. There were prisoners who testified that he was a well-known master, so he was not afraid of what others would say. Even if he couldn't catch the fortune teller and let him escape, as long as he no longer had any troops in hand, there would be nothing to worry about.

After the plan was decided, Hong Chengchou went to work. Xue Guoguan and Xu Guangqi set off from Guihua City and returned to the capital. A new war began to brew in the western grasslands.

At this time, the Jianlu people on the North Korean side also harvested the amount of food they expected.

I have been sitting for too long, and my back has been hurting terribly these past two days. I had to use my mobile phone to type this chapter, which was a lot slower.
