I am the king of the dead

For the courtiers, the Ming Emperor is a black box, and some parameters need to be input into it to guess how His Majesty will deal with it.

The types of these parameters vary from person to person, including several parameters such as economy, people's livelihood, politics, loyalty, and throne.

The weight of these parameters also varies from person to person, and each person attaches different importance to each parameter.

Guess His Majesty's decision is to input parameters into this black box because of a certain matter, but several parameters need to be input, and the weight of these parameters is a blind spot, and it is difficult to weigh.

It is a very common norm to judge people by oneself, so some civil servants always input wrong parameters and weights, and then guessed wrongly about His Majesty's decision.

In the eyes of some courtiers, some things were simply intolerable, but His Majesty just laughed them off. For example, the students from Nan Ya were clamoring to see His Majesty outside the Hongwu Gate. His Majesty not only met them, but also forgave these students.

In the eyes of these courtiers, some things should be tolerable, but often His Majesty will be furious, such as the life and death of some craftsmen and farmers, His Majesty is more important than the sky.

This kind of parameter input error and weight ratio error have caused some civil servants to always be inaccurate about His Majesty's pulse. Every time they play a trick, it seems that there is no solution in their philosophy, but for His Majesty, they can't play a full role. The effect of a little bit.

In short, some civil servants and His Majesty can't urinate in the same pot.

Therefore, it is only natural that the impeccable conspiracy and trap against His Royal Highness Xiang became a joke.

But this time, it was the first time Zhu Qiyu opened the black box and told the courtiers what he was thinking, his parameters and weight.

This heart disease has been going on for ten years.

Zhu Qiyu signaled Xing'an to take the spirit card back and put it away. The Oirats had already moved westward, and there were only a small number of Oirats left in Helin. This was not revenge at all, but Daming now had enough cavalry. The traces of the heart show.

Zhu Qiyu continued to talk about the Battle of Lingbei in the fifth year of Hongwu. In the fifth year of Hongwu, Emperor Gao ambitiously ordered that the [-] troops of the Ming Dynasty march out of the fortress in three directions, intending to wipe out the lingering Beiyuan court in one fell swoop.

However, the middle road suffered a disastrous defeat, and the east road had no harvest. Only the west road army had a little harvest, but in the end Feng Sheng abandoned the land and vomited out whatever he ate.

At the beginning, I don’t know how many old officials of the Beiyuan Dynasty secretly ridiculed Emperor Gao’s move. If it hadn’t been for the 21st year of Hongwu’s great victory in fishing and fishing, and the destruction of the Beiyuan court, Emperor Gao didn’t know what he would have been scolded for. .

Why did Emperor Gao and Emperor Wen unswervingly pursue the Northern Expedition, again and again, for a total of thirteen times?
A person who became the emperor with a beggar's bowl suffered many consequences after the military operation failed, but in the end, Emperor Gao won, Ming won, and Bei Yuan fell.

But the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Lingbei is still a scar, and it still has a positive reference for Zhu Qiyu.

Zhu Qiyu said wistfully that that day Hu Shaoshi, Hu Dan, talked to me about Hu Yuan's century, and he mentioned one thing. During these hundred years, scholars all went to Helin, just like a pilgrimage. For example, a Han named Yu Ji was in With the permission of the court, he went to Helin.

...

In the poems, in his eyes, Helin is richer than the city, where scholars are promoted, Jias are rewarded for nothing, and lucky people strive for it, such a world of Datong.

Military, political, economic, and cultural are closely related and absolutely impossible to exist alone.The military guarantees political stability, and political stability determines the quality of the economy, and the material foundation determines the rise and fall of culture.

When the military cannot guarantee political power, they will not be able to be confident culturally, and they will feel that a poor and scumbag place like Helin is a world of great harmony and their divine kingdom on earth.

Why did Emperor Gao and Emperor Wen make thirteen Northern Expeditions, and Emperor Wen went on five expeditions himself, and finally died on the way?
Because Emperor Gao and Emperor Wen are fighting for the destiny of Daming.

This destiny was won, but the descendants were unfilial and failed to keep it.

Saying this is a bit far away, time

Now, when it comes to Hu Yuan, Bei Yuan, Bei Yuan Hanting and the current descendants of the Yuan Dynasty, the courtiers are called Beilu or barbarians, and He Lin is no longer the world of Datong, but poor mountains and valleys.

It is naturally difficult for us to understand that the atmosphere and direction of the year have changed.Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said: But I never felt that there was something wrong in the battle of Lingbei.

Xing'an, take the map.

Xing'an knew what map His Majesty wanted, so he rolled out a huge map from the imperial study and placed it in the huge conference hall. This map was the world that Daming had already discovered.

A part of Europe has been detected and marked, and Manbasa in Africa is also on the map.

Zhu Qiyu stood up, pulled out the long pole on the bracket, clicked on the location of Helin, and pointed to the border of the map with a swipe of his hand, saying: From Helin to Kashan, the total is only six thousand miles, which is far less than it used to be. During the Tang Dynasty, the Long March athletes traveled [-] miles to Kashgar.

Among the poets who have traveled to Helin, there is a saying that is quite correct. Wang Yun said that Helin is the place where the country prospers the king.

The land of Helin occupies the upper reaches of the land, completely riding on Daming's head. Going east, you can join hands with Jiannu in the northeast, attacking the key points of our capital in the middle, and aiming at the Hexi Corridor in the west, cutting off All exchanges between Daming and the Western Regions.

As long as there are [-] soldiers in the Helin area, they can oppress the land of the Three Norths of the Ming Dynasty, and they will not be able to lift their heads.

The Three Norths, Northeast, True North, and Northwest are the directions of the Three Norths. As long as there are strong soldiers stationed in Helin, the Ming Dynasty will have trouble sleeping and eating. The couch lying on the side allows others to sleep soundly?
And the person who proposed that Helin could contain the Three Norths of China was the benevolent father Stalin.

Zhu Qiyu continued: How many soldiers and horses can be raised in Helin? Kublai Khan once had more than 5 soldiers in Helin, and these 20 people were the main army. Helin can support at least [-] people.

Ming Taizu Emperor Gao and his advisers knew their interests well before the Northern Expedition.

This Northern Expedition solved the hatred in my heart, and it was also a sharp sword hanging over Daming's head.

From a strategic point of view, Zhu Qiyu expressed the significance of the Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty. This significance is definitely not only revenge, but also national strategic security.

Do you still want the Western Regions without fighting Helin? As long as the Wala people in Helin are promising, Daming will not be able to get the Western Regions.

...

Why was the reopening of the Western Regions mentioned so many times during the Yongle period, but it was not implemented in the end? Is it because even if you take it, you will not be able to maintain peace for a long time?
Helin and the land around Helin must be controlled by Daming! Or let it remain as weak as a sheep, dying! But if there are strong troops stationed, Daming is in danger.The long pole in Zhu Qiyu's hand pointed heavily at He Lin's position.

Tell me what you think.

Zhu Qiyu has talked about this for the sake of it. If he can't fight at this time, he is fighting against His Majesty the Emperor.

Yu Qian bowed his head and said, Your Majesty, let's make preparations again, and go after the thaw in the spring of next year? At this time, it is cold in the twelfth lunar month, it is bitterly cold outside the Great Wall, and the white hair wind is blowing. Hastily.

Zhu Qiyu immediately agreed and said: Not everyone in the Ming army is a human youth like Yuan Bin who can travel hundreds of miles in the white-haired wind. Naturally, if they move after the beginning of spring, spring is the weakest time for grassland people, and they are also the weakest. The most important day after a long winter.

Although Zhu Qiyu has never personally experienced the bitter cold of the grassland, he has also heard that many tribes will disappear on the grassland in winter. Under the severe cold, countless people will disappear forever in the wind and snow.

In spring, the Oirats are as skinny and weak as their livestock.

The Ming Dynasty chose to march in the spring, because they were rushing to perish and exterminate the family. Since they wanted to fight, they had to fight until they died, until they swept the holes and plowed the court.

What about armaments? Your Majesty, if you don't know the art of war, there won't be any problems with the household department.Jiang Yuan said with a little worry, he was the right servant of the household department, and he walked from the household department to the military department

In the position of Shangshu, the soldiers and horses went ahead without moving food and grass.

Now that Ming Dynasty is going to make another Northern Expedition, it will naturally need armaments, and this must not bypass the Ministry of Accounts, I just hope that Shen Yi will not be so ignorant.

It's okay, the Ministry of Households refuses, I have only been able to get in and out of my internal money these years, and I have saved a lot of money.Zhu Qiyu answered Jiang Yuan's question.

As for whether Shen Yi, who is not leaky, will stop him?
Zhu Qiyu doesn't think so, because Shen Shangshu and Muyangbo Jinlian are from the same township, they used to be partners, and accompanied Daming through the most difficult years, Shen Yi is a person who deducts the money, but the place where the money should be spent is only Will be very distressed to spend the money.

This time, Jingxuan Chidao, the Ministry of Households did not do anything to stop it.

Nathan is fine.Jiang Yuan saw that His Majesty used the internal funds to pocket everything, so he no longer worried about armaments.

The richest people in the world are definitely not the wealthy businessmen of Songjiang Mansion, but His Majesty's internal money. His Majesty does not like extravagance but frugality, but also likes to join in the fun, and every time he joins in the fun, he can gain a lot.

Zhu Qiyu knows very well how much money he has in his internal funds. As the national treasury emergency reserve fund, his emergency reserve fund is much larger than the national treasury.

The eunuch Lin Xiu once reported that all kinds of physical treasures such as rhinoceros horns are not counted. There are more than 120 million taels of gold alone, more than 750 million taels of silver, and more than 630 million silver coins.

The money of the Ming Dynasty was in and out, but the internal money was only in and out. After ten years of saving, it is not surprising that they have accumulated such a heavy family fortune.

Sometimes Lin Xiu also murmured that His Majesty's contingency reserve was too much in line with His Majesty's usual style of being lenient with the enemy.

...

Shi Heng said with a serious face that there is nothing wrong with the minister, he has been preparing for a long time, if he is defeated, come and see him!
This battle must be fought by Shi Heng from the Beijing camp, so as the chief military officer of the capital division, he naturally went there, and Shi Heng directly issued a military order.

If you can't win, give your Majesty the head.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said that you can't speak like that, why don't you raise your head, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, how can there be any reason to always win in war?
This is Daming's first expedition. If he loses, he will continue to fight if he has spare energy in the coming year. If he has no spare energy, he will continue to gather strength. Affordable.

Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, and Feng Sheng went out to fight as the commanders of the three sides of the Ming Dynasty. After losing, they returned to the capital. Zhu Yuanzhang did not cut off their heads, and they had to be given a certain amount of fault tolerance when they went out to fight.

Zhu Qiyu didn't like the promise that the army would win because the water is impermanent, and the soldiers are impermanent. As long as Shi Heng doesn't fight like Zhao Kuo and Ma Di, Zhu Qiyu will not kill the general easily.

Expeditions are also to accumulate experience for the Ming army, and they are familiar with each other once.

In any case, if the general trend is not there, the main thing is to preserve the vitality.Zhu Qiyu first set the tone for this battle to be defeated, it was an expedition after all.

No matter how detailed the plan is, there are still omissions. There is no seamless strategy in the world. Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi felt that there was one, and gave the generals of the Song Dynasty a battle plan.

As a result, once the army marched to the place where the camp was marked on the geomancy map, because the place where the river diverted and camped was already a river, the eunuch of the supervising army insisted on camping in the water, and almost caused a mutiny.

After setting the tone to fight, Zhu Qiyu chose to shut up about how to fight.

He knows a lot by himself, his military talents are all focused on logistics, and he should be the logistics team leader honestly and give up the stage to the generals of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qiyu chose to attend this time, because this was not a pre-military meeting, but he roughly selected from several plans, and then discussed them in detail.

In the end, it was the most appropriate choice to choose between the Northern Expedition in the fifth year of Hongwu and Lin's three-way co-advancement.

What if the enemy grabs our head and swings from side to side, we advance three ways, and they fight us all the way, how to deal with it? Zhu Qiyu asked a little confused.

Yu Qian explained that as long as the striker stays still and does not fight a decisive battle with him, he will win if he is undefeated. The longer the Oirats spend on the road, the more things they lose on the other two roads.

Zhu

Qi Yu shook his head and said, what if the vanguard of the enemy's side underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, and lost the battle?
Yu Qian thought for a while and said that even if the vanguard is defeated, just retreat to the central army and stick to it.

Zhu Qiyu asked again, what if the morale of the Chinese army is low, and the defeated vanguard leads the Chinese army to collapse together, and the whole way is directly lost, so what should we do?
Yu Qian didn't know where His Majesty came from so many assumptions, and replied: The other two routes should withdraw immediately and stick to the pass to prevent the enemy from expanding the results of the battle and consolidate the front.

What if it can't be withdrawn? Zhu Qiyu asked again.

Yu Qian was silent for a moment, thinking that His Majesty was talking about civil engineering and natural changes, and replied: Then prepare a new army in the capital and prepare to stick to the capital.

What Zhu Qiyu was talking about was not the Tumu Fortress Change, but the Saerhu Battle in the last year of Wanli. In the Saerhu Battle, Ming was completely defeated.

At this time, Daming decided to divide his troops to fight, so Zhu Qiyu was naturally a little worried.
