Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu leaned on the wall and looked at Sun Chengzong calmly.

Here comes the test.Conquering the desert was an extremely important psychological challenge for the Ming government and the public.

I don't know how many people can step over.Zhu Xu thought to himself.

After a long time, Sun Chengzong raised his head, looked at Zhu Xu and said slowly: "Your Majesty, my Ming Dynasty is now in troubled times, and the internal affairs have reached the point where we need to take a full rest. There is no need to delay, and the current treasury is unable to support a big war. Especially Yes, if you can't do your best in this battle, it will be tantamount to a big defeat. From then on, the important towns on the nine borders and Liaodong will be in danger, and there will never be peace. The border troubles will resume, and the cabinet will no longer be able to focus on the 'New Deal'... Your Majesty, the gains and losses are related to my 200-year Ming Dynasty, please think twice."

"What do you think?" Zhu Xu didn't seem to hear it, and looked at Zhao Ratejiao, Man Gui.

Man Gui is in charge of the Chijin Guard, and has been stationed in the Tumu Fort, facing Chahar Khan's tooth tent. He has been training desperately for these years. It can be said that the [-] cavalry has begun to take shape, worthy of a battle.

Therefore, he was actually eager to move and wanted to fight.

But Sun Chengzong is not only his immediate boss, but also his coach in Liaodong. For so many years, Man Gui has almost always been regarded as Sun Chengzong's direct lineage, direct lineage, and is deeply influenced by him.

Man Gui thought about Sun Chengzong's words, although he couldn't fully understand, he clasped his fists and said to Zhu Xu: "Your Majesty, I think Sun Ge's old words are justified."

Zhu Xu had a clear view of Man Gui's thoughts, and turned his eyes calmly to Zhao Liaojiao.

Although Zhao Lijiao didn't agree with Man Gui, he was also an old general of Sun Chengzong, and he was more "smart" than Man Gui. He could understand Sun Chengzong's words, and said in a rather tactful tone: "Your Majesty, although Chahar is not as good as Jiannu, but he is more "smart" than Man Gui. The northern region is too vast, if it cannot be wiped out in one battle, the consequences will be disastrous, please think twice, Your Majesty."

These worries are all normal. Zhu Xu looked at the three of them and said, "I know that you are scruples, but you should understand better that in the next few years my Daming will suffer more serious disasters, more affairs, and weaker national power. Chahar is fighting everywhere, annexing, one strong and one weak, and when Chahar comes to the door, I can only defend, do you feel familiar with this scene?"

The three of Sun Chengzong frowned suddenly. The three of them had been in Liaodong for many years, so how could they be unfamiliar with this scene.

Since the defeat of Saerhu, Liaodong has fallen into a situation where one strong and one weak are passively beaten, guarding hard.If you zoom in on this scene, when Yingzong was defeated in Tumubao, the entire Ming Dynasty became defensive, it was exactly the same!

Sun Chengzong knew that what Zhu Xu said was right, he pondered for a while, and insisted: "Your Majesty, after last year, the 'New Deal' has already established a preliminary foundation. It can be alleviated, and everything will be ready at that time. If there is an emergency in the war, you can retreat and deal with it calmly. If you start a war now, if you fail, you will no longer have the power to fight back. Liaodong will inevitably fester, and the impact will be unimaginable... "

Sun Chengzong is not a person without a big picture, but he has little understanding of this natural and man-made disaster.The next few years will be the most violent period for "Little Glacier", and Da Ming will be weaker than ever.Afterwards, it will take a long time to recover, maybe ten years later, before Daming can fight.

If the increasingly powerful Chahar cannot be eradicated before this, the troubles will be even greater in the future. Ming can't stand the ten-year long border war of attrition!

May perish!

Zhu Xu clapped his hands on his knees, looked at the three of them, and said, "I have made up my mind on this matter, and I must completely wipe out Chahar within this year! Horqin's Badalite is in the capital, and it is waiting for a big discussion. 'Military Reform 'It's done, I decided to sit in the civil fortress, and I will be ashamed!"

Sun Chengzong, Zhao Lijiao, and Man Gui's complexion changed drastically, and their eyes showed horror.

The word Tumubao was a taboo and a pain point in the Ming Dynasty. No matter who mentions it, it will remind people of the unbearable World War I.

At the same time, this is also the Nei Lin of the Ming Dynasty, anyone who touches it will be hurt, heartbroken!

The emperor in front of him mentioned that there was another reason why everyone changed color, that is, "sitting in the civil fortress" is equivalent to the imperial conquest, which is almost exactly the same as the old things of Yingzong back then!

The current Ming Dynasty is different from the original Yingzong period. At that time, the Ming Dynasty was powerful and there were many civil servants and military generals left over from the Yongle period. The key point is that there was an adult Jingtai Emperor. The capital was stable and the world was stable, so he could win The defense of the capital.

If there was another Civil Fort change today, I'm afraid that the fall of the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner!

Sun Chengzong didn't expect Zhu Xu's determination to be so firm. He frowned and looked solemnly. After pondering for a while, he looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is too important, and there are a lot of things to deal with right now. I suggest that you put it down for now and wait for the years to come." After the matter has been dealt with, call the courtiers to discuss again, and must come up with a proper way to completely eliminate the threat of Chahar."

Sun Chengzong's words not only meant "obedience", but also had the purpose of delaying time to wait for changes. Zhu Xu didn't care, and said: "I have ordered Dorgon to order 3 cavalry to go north, plus Ryukyu, North Korea, Annan, Japan and other miscellaneous soldiers gathered 180 people as vanguards and marched out from Shenyang. Mangui's Chijin Guards were full of 4 soldiers, carrying [-] cannons, and marched out from Tumubao. Zu Dashou's Taining Guards, together with Horqin and other coalition forces, A total of [-] people will come out from the west, surrounded on three sides, and Chahar must be completely wiped out in the first battle, and the date of the crusade will be set in Dayi, after the military reform is over, the first day of April!"

Sun Chengzong, Man Gui, and Zhao Lijiao were stunned and looked at Zhu Xu in shock.

They didn't expect that Zhu Xu had not only made up his mind, but also set the date so early.

You know, it's only the tenth day of February, and it's just over a month until the first day of April. How do you prepare for such a big battle in such a short time?There isn't even enough time to regroup the army!

Regardless of their faces, Zhu Xu looked at the three of them and said, "This matter, Mr. Sun Ge is in the middle to dispatch, waiting for my edict to dispatch troops. Man Gui, rush back to the Tumu Fort immediately, and wait for it. Zhao led the teacher, your iron armor The cavalry can't relax either, and are ready to rush to the aid of the civil fort. In addition, I will issue an edict to Zu Dashou, ordering him to command the Tainingwei and Horqin coalition forces, and be ready to advance eastward at any time. I will send an order to Shanhaiguan later, ordering Xiong Tingbi to move to Shenyang, Command all military affairs in Liaodong, and be ready to go west at any time!"

Sun Chengzong was extremely surprised. As a result, the army mobilized by the Ming Dynasty was at least nearly 20. Not to mention the consumption of food and grass for this move, the reaction of Chahar, and the impact of the government and the public alone, I am afraid it is no different from an earthquake. !

Sun Chengzong's mind is in a state of confusion. Such a big move, at this time, does not know how much change it will cause, and how much impact it will have on the current cabinet plan, the "New Deal" that has already begun!

Zhu Xu didn't give them a chance to speak at all. He looked at the three of them with stern eyes, and said, "This matter must be kept secret and not spread to the outside world. Alright, let's stop the car and get down. We still have to prepare for the big martial arts performance right now."

The carriage stopped quickly, and the three of Sun Chengzong wanted to talk to Zhu Xu, but Zhu Xu didn't want to listen at all, so he waved his hands and said, "Man Gui, go back to Tumubao immediately, and the rest, what should you do, what should you do, Get out of the car."

Sun Chengzong hesitated to speak, and didn't know how to persuade him for a while, so he had to get out of the carriage.

The three got out of the carriage, watched the carriage speed away, and peeked at each other in a cloud of dust.

Man Gui looked at the cavalry of the imperial guards, but still did not wake up from the shock, turned his head to look at Sun Chengzong, and said: "My lord, the emperor, are you a little... arrogant?"

In fact, according to Man Gui's temper, if it was someone else, it would be "whether he has lost his head", but Zhu Xu has the kindness to know him and dare not be so presumptuous.

Sun Chengzong frowned all the time, and he also had such doubts in his heart.

Today's emperor is young, and has the unworldly martial arts to pacify Liaodong. With the addition of Ryukyu, Annan, and two overseas provinces, the territory has expanded by an unknown amount, far surpassing Taizu Taizong. Pass.

However, isn't this exactly the same as the old things of Yingzong?

Sun Chengzong felt uneasy as if there was a big rock in his heart.

His face was dark and he pondered for a while, but Sun Chengzong still said: "Man Gui, hurry back to the Tumu Fort immediately, and wait for it in full force, and don't relax. As for us, we should focus on the moment and prepare for the big martial arts performance."

Man Gui hadn't spoken yet, Zhao Shujiao was taken aback, and said: "My lord, don't we need to discuss this matter with all the lords in the cabinet?"

Sun Chengzong shook his head and said: "You didn't understand the hint of the emperor. Besides, the cabinet knows now, it will only increase the annoyance, it's better to do all these things right now."

Zhao led the church to agree and said, "I will obey your orders."

Sun Chengzong raised his head and looked at Zhu Xu's motorcade. The carriage was no longer visible, but he still seemed to be able to see it, and the worry in his eyes deepened.

In Zhu Xu's carriage, Cao Huachun was also deeply shocked, but his face remained calm. For a while, he looked at Zhu Xu who was sleeping with his eyes closed, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, do you want to draft an order and pass it on to Taining?" Wei's ancestor Dashou, Xiong Tingbi of Shanhaiguan?"

"What purpose do you wear?" Zhu Xu closed his eyes and said calmly.

Cao Huachun was startled, and said: "Didn't the emperor just say..."

Zhu Xu took a deep breath, still closed his eyes, and said: "Dorgon's army wants to go from Annan to Shenyang, and it will take several months. If he doesn't come, how can I go to war?"

Cao Huachun's shock turned into confusion, and he leaned closer and whispered: "Your Majesty, what about the conversation with Mr. Sun Ge and the others just now?"

Zhu Xu frowned, and said: "Don't remember, just pretend that I haven't seen them today."

Cao Huachun was full of doubts, seeing Zhu Xu's unmoving expression, he nodded and said, "Yes."

Chapter 968 Tricks

When Zhu Xu went to Tianjinwei, there were lively activities everywhere in the capital.

The palace was full of festivities. First, the emperor and empress got married, and then Hai Lanzhu gave birth. For the palace, these were all great events, and the excitement never stopped.

The struggle between the cabinet and the governors who entered Beijing is still going on. The purpose of the "New Deal" at the beginning was to strengthen local control and seize local power. In addition, the cabinet is now extremely strong. The governors are full of worries. Do everything possible, hoping to "bargain" with the cabinet and strive for a favorable reform plan.

Only at this time did Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong and others realize Zhu Xu's good intentions, and they were inexplicably sighed.
