Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 687 Fatalism Is Not Advisable
Yang Hong's words are complicated, but the meaning is actually very simple.

For Yexian, raising troops to attack Ming is the only way for him to become the co-lord of the grassland. Only in this way can the worship of the Golden Family among the various tribes be completely eliminated.

However, Tuotuobuhua is different, he is the co-owner of the grassland, so if he wants to annex it, he doesn't need to take the risk of going to war with Daming to fight for the so-called 'title'.

Zhu Qiyu listened at the top, and couldn't help but nodded slightly.

It should be said that what Yang Hong said is reasonable. The relationship between Tuotuobuhua and Yexian is very complicated. They are both in-laws and enemies.

Of course, in fact, apart from the two ways Yang Hong just mentioned, there is also a way to fight for the position of Khan first, and there is another way, which is to wait for Tuotuobuhua to be unable to restrain himself, and raise troops against Oala.

In this way, they should rise up and resist first. If they can defeat Tutuo Buhua, they can also be recognized by the grassland tribes.

However, this is not what was also wanted in the first place.

Because the initiative of this road is not in the hands of Yexian, but in the hands of Tuotuobuhua.

The two of them have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years, and they also know that Tuotuobuhua is not a mediocre person. If he really launches troops against Oala, it means that he is already sure of victory.

Therefore, in this case, either Oara and Tatar will maintain this false harmony for a long time, or Tuotuobuhua will take the lead in fighting and starting a war first.

And when the two join forces to launch a war against Ming Dynasty, the leader will only be Yexian.

One is because there is no need to take such a big risk for Tuotuobuhua to deal with Yexian in this way, and the other is because Yexian will not let Wala be this cannon fodder.

Therefore, from the bottom of his heart, Zhu Qiyu tended to agree with Yang Hong's judgment, but even he had to be cautious about such a big matter.

Although he has previous life experience, it is precisely because of the ups and downs of a hundred years that Zhu Qiyu understands that any small change may lead to completely different consequences.

His descendant Meishan hanged himself, in order to support the huge military expenditure, he ordered to reduce the number of postmen in the post station. As a result, who could have imagined that this move would force the trespassers who had nowhere to return to rise up, and finally invaded the capital and wiped out the entire country. Daming artifact.

The previous life was the previous life, and the present is the present. In the previous life, Wala had not suffered such a heavy blow, and in the previous life, Daming had never launched such a large-scale trade with Tuotuobuhua.

Therefore, the experience of the previous life can only be used as a reference at most. If you believe in it and feel that everything will inevitably follow the old track, then it is the real way to die.

The court situation is like this, the government is like this, and everything else is like this!

Being a human being in two lifetimes, Zhu Qiyu is now different from his previous life, and he is not so stubborn about his body, but his ancestors let him return to the present, so he has to be worthy of the Great Artifact.

Therefore, although he already agreed with Yang Hong's words in his heart, Zhu Qiyu still didn't express anything on the face, and only asked.

"In this way, Yang Hou feels that there is no need for Ming Dynasty to guard against the Oirats and Tatars taking the opportunity to invade?"

The tone of this question seemed a bit unfriendly, and for a moment, Yang Hong couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. After pondering for a moment, he answered cautiously.

"Your Majesty, I don't think that the border defense can be relaxed, but I just think that my court doesn't need to be overly nervous about this matter."

"Taking a step back, even if the worst happens and Da Ming and Wala really restart the war, then the strength of both sides is still at stake."

"Now Datong has Guo Zongbing, Xuanfu has Tao Zongbing, Gan Ning Guanxi Seven Guards, Liaodong has Cao Zongbing, these generals are all men who have made great achievements in the War of Oala, and they are familiar with the situation of captives and thieves. According to the city to defend and wait for work with ease, even if the captives come to attack, it is difficult to win a quick victory."

"So, my Ming Dynasty only needs to fight steadily, order the Beijing camp to strictly guard, and prepare the first batch of reinforcements in case of any eventuality. The rest of the officers and troops will be mobilized and prepared. It will not be too late to prepare when the war really happens."

These words made everyone present look a little better, and began to think seriously about the feasibility of what Yang Hong said.

Indeed, apart from other things, the generals guarding the border today all performed well in the War of Oala.

Not to mention Guo Deng of Datong, he defended Datong for several days without losing the city under the condition that Ye first heavily suppressed the border. Dingxianghou.

In addition, Tao Jin of Xuanfu also took the lead in the battle of Bauhinia Pass and shot and killed Boyan Timur, so he was reused by the court.

Not to mention, there is also Yang Xin, the deputy commander who has been in the Xuan Mansion for many years and has been following Yang Hong's ears and eyes for assistance.

No matter how the situation changes, the combat exploits and experience of these people are there. When they face Oala, at least they will not retreat cowardly.

So Yang Hong's meaning is very simple, even if the rectification of the military settlements implemented by the imperial court will cause turmoil and dissatisfaction among the border troops, but with these people, the basic combat power can be maintained.

As long as the frontier army does not collapse immediately, the imperial court will have time to react. Perhaps at the beginning, it will be on the defensive. However, with the imperial court's strong logistical support, even if this battle breaks out, the imperial court can fully handle it.

At this point, Yang Hong seemed a little hesitant, glanced at the other people present, and secretly looked at the expression of the emperor, then gritted his teeth and said.

"Your Majesty, forgive me for speaking bluntly. Although our army won the last battle in Oirat, many ministers in the imperial court were quite afraid of fighting because of the civil defeat."

"However, Your Majesty, please think about it carefully. Even if our frontier army's combat strength is temporarily reduced due to the rectification of the army, is it possible that when the war resumes, there will be a bad situation after the civil engineering battle?"

"In my imperial court, there are His Majesty's holy candles that illuminate thousands of miles away, and there are brave generals who guard one side, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Households. It’s far better than the situation during the civil engineering battle.”

"However, even at that time, the troops came to the city first, and we, Ming, were still able to fight and win. Now that the opponent's power is no longer what it used to be, why should we be afraid of provoking a war?"

"Your Majesty is sage and benevolent, compassionate and loving for the people, and regards peace as the most important thing. He does not want to ignite the flames of war again and cause the soldiers and civilians on the border to suffer. However, if the captives do not know good and bad, and dare to offend my Ming Dynasty, even though they are old, they dare to go into battle. Revive my Ming army!"

These words were quite straightforward, and they were classified as the cabinet duo who were "rather fearful of war", so their faces were naturally a little ugly.

However, they couldn't deny it, because what Yang Hong said was true.

Although the battle of Oara was won, the lessons of the civil war left the court with a deep impression.

Perhaps for the frontier generals who really went to the battlefield, they have seen the appearance of Oala retreating in a hurry, which can offset part of the impact of the civil war.

But these civil servants always stay above the court, and they have no intuitive feeling for these. Compared with the dry figures in these few victories, those ministers who died in the civil engineering battle are theirs. Familiar and frequent people.

Therefore, no matter whether they admit it or not, in fact, in their hearts, they are all jealous and fearful of Wala.

Today's discussion is a typical performance.

In this situation, if Emperor Taizong was around, he would not even guess what Wala wanted to do. When they showed signs of disobedience, Emperor Taizong would immediately bring an army to the Khan Court and question him face to face. them!

Seeing Yang Hong's resolute look, Zhu Qiyu also nodded and said.

"Okay, with Marquis Yang at the court, why be afraid of Oara and Tatar's secret tricks?"

"Yu Qian?"

"Chen is here!"

Yu Qian looked up at the emperor, and clapped his hands in response.

"Regarding the dispatch of the Beijing camp and the military station, we will follow what Yang Hou said. In addition, the reception of the Wala envoy will be hosted by Yang Hou, and the Ministry of War and Honglu Temple will be assisted, and we will obey Yang Hou's dispatch!"

"According to the order!"

"The minister leads the decree..."
