Cabinet value room.
Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian arranged the night shift. Because the northwest war had not happened yet, they did not know how long they would be on duty, so the three of them looked a little gloomy.
At their age, ordinary people would have been waiting to take care of themselves until old age. But now, in addition to their daily work, they also have to work night shifts. It feels very uncomfortable. Okay, and it’s a bit confusing.
"His Majesty did not mention the candidate to take charge of the trilateral military affairs before, but now it seems that there is a high possibility that His Majesty will choose Zhang Bingkuan."
Xie Qian has arranged his errands. It is inevitable that I will mention it one more time.
Li Dongyang said, "Your Majesty wants to use Qin Shiying to take the lead, and there are many officials in the court who have no objection, but if Zhang Bingkuan is used, it will be a big deal. Your Majesty should also know what kind of situation he will face. Now it seems that let Qin Shiying's overall control of trilateral military affairs may be more pragmatic than the general control of Xuan's military affairs."
Qin Hong has no choice.
There are too few famous generals in the court who can rival Wang Yue.
Wang Shu is obviously the number one among those who are still alive today, but Wang Shu is already eighty-four years old, how can he go into battle to kill the enemy
Even Wang Yue and Qin Hong This kind of person has an actual age of seventy-four.
Liu Jian is the oldest in the cabinet, only sixty-seven.
Liu Jian sighed, "Perhaps as Binzhi said, if Qin Shiying comes to the three sides, he may be able to supervise the military affairs in the northwest to avoid major deviations, but he is a suitable candidate."
Liu Jian is not very supportive of Qin Hong's comeback.
It’s just like the discussion in the eleventh year of Hongzhi about who should return to the trilateral military affairs under the overall control. Because the famous northwest generals have been out of office in the past twenty years, choosing who to be the trilateral governor will not only deter the wolves in the prairie. , even within Ming Dynasty, everyone will feel that they are not qualified enough.
With Wang Yue’s treasure in front, even Ma Wensheng did not dare to take the initiative to go to the northwest. Ma Wensheng recommended Liu Daxia, which was considered a good candidate, but was directly rejected by the emperor. , who can we use if we don’t use Qin Hong now
Xie Qian laughed and said, "Qin Shiying is known for his integrity and has never been good at currying favor with powerful sycophants. Zhang Bingkuan is so confident that he recommended Qin Shiying. Could it be that he thinks that he can make people happy?" Qin Shiying, like Wang Shichang, always takes the lead. In my opinion, this is His Majesty's move to bring order to chaos."
Liu Jian and Li Dongyang both looked at Xie Qian.
I’m all thinking that you, Xie Yuqiao, are really confident.
Li Dongyang said, "Then what is righteousness and what is chaos?"
Xie Qian smiled and said, "Do you still need me to say it?"
Li Dongyang shook his head, "What is in your heart?" Righteousness and chaos may be different from what Your Majesty has in mind. No matter how famous Qin Shiying was in the past, how can he compare with Wang Shichang? In my opinion, if Qin Shiying went to the northwest and completely disobeyed the Holy Will and relied solely on Wang Dehua, Zhu Zhijie and others, This will make it useless in the northwest. Doesn’t the attitude of the people in the Governor’s Mansion after the dissolution of the dynasty explain the problem?"
Li Dongyang's knowledge is at a higher level than Xie Qian's.
After hearing this, Xie Qian couldn't help but sigh.
He was obviously convinced by Li Dongyang.
Qin Hong went to the northwest. If it was just to "rectify chaos", everything was done for the benefit of the Ministry of War or civilian officials. His past reputation would not be able to influence the current military affairs in the northwest.
You, Qin Hong, are contrary to the emperor's intentions. Why should you let Wang Qiong and Zhu Feng, who are almost direct descendants of the emperor, listen to you? Will Ping Jiangbo and Chen Rui listen to you? Chen Rui doesn't know where to stand when judging the situation.
According to Li Dongyang’s point of view, after Qin Hong arrived in the northwest, even if he still wanted to "rectify chaos", he would have to succumb to the situation, and it is very likely that Qin Hong had not accomplished much in the northwest, or had no strategic intentions. If the emperor cannot be satisfied, the emperor will replace him.
Li Dongyang added, "But as long as Qin Shiying doesn't side with Zhang Bingkuan, that's enough."
"Yeah."
This time it's not just Xie Qian , even Liu Jian nodded.
In the Qianqing Palace.
When Zhu Youtang discussed in detail with Zhang Zhou the use of troops in the northwest, he mentioned two things.
One is that he wanted to conquer in person, which was the same as Zhu Youtang's choice in history when facing the grassland situation.
At this point, Zhang Zhou must be blocked first.
"Your Majesty, the current situation in the northwest has not reached the point where Your Majesty personally takes part. It is of greater significance to stabilize the heart and even the situation." What Zhang Zhou said was just a commonplace reason.
But after hearing this, Zhu Youtang felt that it made sense.
Now if Zhang Zhou asks him to go, he will go. If Zhang Zhou doesn’t let him go, he will listen.
Perhaps Zhu Youtang also saw that if he, the emperor, wanted to make military progress in the Hongzhi Dynasty, he would have to have Zhang Zhou to help him. If Zhang Zhou only made suggestions, he might still be involved in certain matters. There are some places where he makes his own decisions, but Zhang Zhou is so awesome that he has God's will. Zhang Zhou won't let him go. Could it be that he wants to go against heaven?
Then Zhu Youtang mentioned the second thing, It also involves the question of who Qin Hong's heart is towards.
"Bingkuan, I know Qin Shiying. When the Empress Dowager put pressure on him to release him, he refused to realize it. The imperial court confiscated his family property, and all the valuable belongings in his family were not worth it. They are in rags, and there are too few people in the court who are as honest and self-reliant as him."
Zhu Youtang seemed to be aware of it, and wanted to make the civil servants listen to Zhang Zhou immediately. You must like to build relationships, and your heart must not be too upright.
What civil servants admire is absolute integrity, and the emperor also admires this kind of honest official in front of his ministers.
But when it comes to the king controlling his ministers and employing people, the emperor will keep a respectful distance from upright officials. Such people can do anything for the sake of reputation. How can someone like Wang Yue be easy to control?
p>
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Your Majesty is worried that he will not be able to implement the strategy he has formulated."
Zhu YoutangHe nodded and said, "I have doubts in this regard. When I look for someone to replace Marquis Weining, I want to be more defensive than offensive. In the past, Qin Hong was not very strategic in using troops. He was too defensive and would suffer from foreign military orders. I'm afraid that the strategy we set in the capital will go out of shape in the northwest, and we will experience some twists and turns if we make temporary substitutions, which will delay the deployment of troops."
Xiao Jing next to me also reminded, "Edong. According to the factory investigation, Qin Hong's life was still difficult when he was in his hometown, but he was not helped by others, and the local officials never expressed condolences."
Indirectly, he was helping the emperor to ask Zhang Zhou.
Bingkuan, did we choose the wrong person?
Zhang Zhou seemed very confident and said, "Your Majesty, Qin Shiying is a famous general in the world. If we don't use him, who else can we use?" "
"Bingkuan, with your merits in the army, if I want you to take charge of military affairs in Xuanfu and Datong, I believe there will be no problem, and there is no need for you to go to the northwest. It's been a long time, and I can come back in half a year at most." Zhu Youtang looked eager.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "I am more suitable to be in the rear, making suggestions for the frontline soldiers, and researching more powerful firearms."
"Yes." Zhu Youtang nodded, "But for Qin Shiying , do you have any idea?"
"It depends on human effort," Zhang Zhou said.
"Okay." Zhu Youtang saw the confidence on Zhang Zhou's face. Although he didn't know what Zhang Zhou could do to make the stubborn Qin Hong obey his orders, he was still convinced. Zhang Zhou was full of expectations, "The decree to transfer him to the northwest was delivered to Shandong four days ago. I asked him to pass through the capital before going to Pianguan Pass."
Going to Piantou Pass from Shandong , if you take the north road, you will indeed pass through the capital. Let Qin Hong come to the capital along the way, and the emperor did not delay Qin Hong's appointment.
"Your Majesty means"
"What I mean is that in addition to letting him come to meet me, and I personally entrust him with important tasks, I will also let him meet with you alone. , it depends on you whether you can let him carry out your strategy. If you think he is really difficult to dispatch, I will not hesitate to take back my order and let him return home."
Zhang Zhou said, "Your Majesty. You should worry too much. I will do my best to make him feel my sincerity." Zhang Zhou led the way to the East Palace.
Zhang Zhou was going to teach the prince that day. The emperor asked Xiao Jing to accompany him. It was more to ask Xiao Jing to cooperate with Zhang Zhou. If it was not convenient for Zhang Zhou to do things by himself, then let Dongchang Go ahead, even if there is a bad reputation, let Dongchang bear it.
"Mr. Zhang, are you sure that Qin Hong will do things according to His Majesty's and your wishes? If you don't pour cold water on our family, this kind of person is a stone in the pit. He is smelly and hard. He once worked for Anyuan Hou's His Majesty was angry with him, and he did not give him any face. On the contrary, when he was imprisoned for investigation, he might still be resentful. I heard that after seeing the edict, he still did not want to obey it."
Xiao Jing was embarrassed to say it.
Who are you recommending?
At first, because of the matter of Marquis Anyuan, he and the emperorIt was just that the emperor and the empress dowager were unhappy. The emperor also ordered him to be imprisoned for questioning. In the end, he was released after finding out that there was no evidence. Finally, he was ordered to serve as an official and return to his hometown. Later, he was even given the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs in Nanjing. Qin Hong He ran away because of his illness. After returning home, he would rather eat chaffy vegetables than accept any support from local officials.
This time the emperor called him back and entrusted him with an important task, but he was so upset that he didn’t want to come back
You actually think you can control this kind of person
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, " As a minister, since he has been ordered to come to the capital, why should he think about what he has done before?"
Xiao Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it about others. You don't want to be like Qin Hong, even if you don't think about it. No, Your Majesty will also wonder if he will serve the imperial court wholeheartedly and he has prejudices against His Majesty’s ministers."
In the end, Xiao Jing sighed heavily.
Basically, you want to get along well with Qin Hong, but he never intends to see you.
Let him listen to you and still want to impress him with sincerity
Stop dreaming about spring and autumn.
When he was about to arrive at the Wenhua Hall, Xiao Jing finally concluded: "Mr. Zhang, if it doesn't work, don't force it. Your Majesty will send troops to the Hetao. If he really can't do it, he will be replaced by your Majesty. Northwest of the Ming Dynasty The use of troops cannot return to the past."
"Haha." Zhang Zhou agreed with a smile.
"You are busy first. Our family is waiting here. I will take you to Neifu Jiaziku later to have a look."
"How did the fight start? What was the result?"
p>
Zhang Zhou appeared in the Wenhua Hall, and Zhu Houzhao finally seized the opportunity and rushed over to ask Zhang Zhou about the war in the northwest.
Wang Hao and others came to give the prince his first lesson. At this time, they had not left yet. Seeing that the way Zhu Houzhao and Zhang Zhou got along was completely different from them, they couldn't help but look at it more. Two eyes.
Zhang Zhou ignored Zhu Houzhao.
He first went over to say goodbye to Wang Hao and others, but Wang Hao just nodded and reminded before leaving, "Please pay more attention to the Hanyuan school."
" Yes."
Zhang Zhou is very busy now.
In the Hanlin Academy, the proofreading of the Ming Dynasty Conference is still in progress. As the imperial-appointed chief officer, Zhang Zhou almost never appears in the Hanlin Academy. This is not to say that he is slacking off in his official duties, but that he is sending off official documents. When the book was written, the most basic proofreading had been completed. If there were any errors or omissions, he himself would not be able to spot them.
Isolated evidence does not stand up, and errors and omissions in the book naturally have to be found by others.
But until now, no one from the Hanlin Academy has found any major flaws in the book he compiled. At most, there are minor details that are unclear, and simple additions and changes have been made.
And in Zhang Zhou’s view, such additions and changes are often just trouble-making.
After sending Wang Hao and the others away, Zhang Zhou looked back at Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao said eagerly, "The battle has been won, right?"
Zhang Zhou said, "Prince, what's wrong with you?"
p>
"What?" Zhu Houzhao has never heard anyone talk to him like this, not even his father would comment on him like this.
When the eunuchs nearby heard this, they all smiled bitterly, then turned their heads to one side, pretending not to hear.
Zhang Zhou said angrily, "Marquis Anbian and the others have only been in Pianguan for two or three days. They have just distributed the funeral rations to Marquis Weining, and the barbarians did not commit any immediate crime. Let’s put it this way, those wolves in the grassland are preparing to kill each other now. Do you think they have so much energy to invade our Ming Dynasty?”
Zhu Houzhao frowned, his small nose and eyes turned upward. They frowned together, "Mr. Zhang, I don't understand this. If the pass is not that critical, why should Wang Weining die without mourning in secret? Is there any practical significance in transferring Zhu Feng and the others there?"
< p>Zhu Houzhao also protested against Zhang Zhou.Why do you always treat me like a child?
Zhang Zhou said, "Whether a crisis is critical or not depends not on whether it happens, but on the potential danger. The prince doesn't understand this, right?"
"Uh" Zhu Houzhao thought about it for a moment, "it means that you can't just take a chance."
"Yes." Zhang Zhou nodded.
Zhu Houzhao sighed, "That would be boring. If Zhu Feng and the others were to go there, they would still stick to the same position. Is that any different from before? Once the fortress in Pianguan is repaired, it will be difficult to fight again." That's it."
Zhang Zhou said, "The prince has thought too much. Now the little Tatar prince Batu Meng has moved the camp of the Chinese military tribe to Ordos."
"Where". Zhu Houzhao still knew a lot about the Ming Dynasty's border areas, but he had not yet learned the geography of Hetao and other hinterland areas, so he was not fully aware of its strategic significance.
Zhang Zhou explained, "The general meaning is that Batu Munch moved to the territory of the Mongolian right wing, close to the Huo Si Department, but also directly threatened Yansui, Pianguan, and Datong. "
Zhu Houzhao slapped the table and said, "There is going to be a war inside the grassland."
Several eunuchs were startled again.
What are you doing in this sudden surprise?
Zhang Zhou said, "The opinion of the ministers at this time is to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. What do the princes think?"
"Damn, why are you sitting on the mountain watching tigers fighting with snipe and clams at this time? You should beat him, destroy the grassland and seal the wolf in Xu, if you don't take advantage of this moment, how can you wait for more hahahaha"< /p>
Zhu Houzhao changed from his previous decadence and became excited, his little eyes shining, as if he was about to lead his troops to conquer the grassland.
Zhang Zhou looked unkind and said, "Prince, don't be too excited. The use of troops in the northwest is not as simple as what you say."
Zhu Houzhao said puzzledly, "What do you mean by such a good opportunity? "Don't fight"
"Why fight? How many soldiers and horses will be needed? Where will the artillery be sent out? Will the artillery be enough? How will the artillery be transported out of the city? After the war, if the Tatar tribes form a line, what should they do if they encounter a natural disaster? , such as rain, strong wind, etc., how to ensure that the strategy can be promoted can be accomplished by just talking."
What Zhang Zhou wanted to teach Zhu Houzhao was notIt's empty talk.
What’s the point of just talking about fighting or not fighting?
Just like Yingzong, when he talks about fighting, he executes it very quickly. After going to the northwest, I realized that it was just talk on paper. If the war was just about dispatching soldiers and horses, sending out large armies, and fighting when encountering the enemy, the grievances between China and the northern nomads would not have lasted for more than two thousand years.
"Isn't fighting something that frontline generals should worry about? As a king, you don't have to worry about how to fight." Zhu Houzhao looked disapproving.
Zhang Zhou said, "It seems that the prince wants to be a talkative person who only makes decisions and lets others work hard. He wants others to win or lose."
Zhu Houzhao frowned and said, "Stop being sarcastic." Me, who said I am that kind of person?"
Zhang Zhou pointed to the sand table that had been placed not far away and said, "Then I will give the prince homework. The prince will rely on the sand table tonight. Details Formulating a strategy for dispatching troops involves the use of troops and artillery, making plans for the direction of march and the strategy for using troops. It can also be used to deduce the progress of the war, make various preparations, and fully consider the issue of favorable weather, location, and people."< /p>
“Remember, when entering the Loop, the geographical advantage is no longer on the side of our soldiers. The two sides are evenly divided at most 50-50. Regardless of soldiers, horses, food, and baggage, no one has an absolute advantage. Even if Even with artillery and other firearms, most of the time it is difficult to defend the enemy head-on. Instead, we may be in a situation where we are unable to advance or retreat. Prince, do you think we can formulate such a strategy?"
Zhu Houzhao looked excited after hearing this. Asked, "If this palace formulates well, will my father adopt it?"
Zhang Zhou shook his head, "I don't know whether your majesty will adopt it, but if it is your proposal in some aspects, I think it is advisable." wherever possible, it will be used in actual combat."
"Just wait, I'll go right away."
Zhu Houzhao has never felt that his military knowledge can produce such a result. Big influence.
Suddenly there was an excitement of "I want to go to heaven" and I was about to make a plan.
Zhang Zhou said, "Any strategy must be based on factors such as the right time and place. Talking about war on paper is not a good strategy. All strategies should also cater to changes in the current situation. If the prince rashly formulates such a strategy, do you think there is any other way? Is there any merit?"
"If the formulation is not good tonight, we can also announce the day after tomorrow to announce the general system. Qin Hong will arrive in Beijing. You can hand in your homework before then." Please remember to bookmark, the latest and most updated website Read quickly without anti-theft for free
