Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1413 True and False, False and True (Part [-])
Now that the money was in place, Gao Wushi was ordered to enter the palace to be received by the emperor.

The current national conditions of Ming Dynasty are a bit ridiculous. If you want to say that it has no strength, it really has an army of more than one million, and it is close to a million on the nine sides alone; The military salary can block its life gate, making it stare and worry, but it can't move soldiers at all.

At this time, everyone had to pay attention to Gao Yushi, the Minister of the Household Department, because it was not the Ministry of War that had the final say on whether the imperial court could mobilize troops, but his Household Department.

If the Ministry of Households wants to say that it has no money, the Ministry of War can only hold back no matter how angry it is;

Now the Ministry of Households has money all of a sudden, although only 25 taels are left after subtracting 18 taels from [-] taels, but in fact this is enough, because the use of military pay is not yet a highly pragmatic "big household department plan" implementation the latter mode.

Now the military salary required by the Ministry of War to mobilize troops is actually mainly based on salary increases and rewards.The increase in salary can be regarded as a "combat subsidy" or "wartime allowance" in addition to the regular salary. If you can't get this money out, thinking about mobilizing troops is basically a dream. If you don't have money, whoever will fight for you will think they are Red Army soldiers. ?
There is no need to explain more about the rewards. Mostly, those who have meritorious deeds will get them, and those who have no merits will see them.Occasionally, it is also used in the case of "there must be a brave man under a heavy reward", that is, at critical moments, money is directly distributed to raise death squads.

As for the real military supplies, thanks to Zhu Yuanzhang's small peasant thought, they are available in warehouses everywhere. It is nothing more than that places like Jiubian have abundant reserves and relatively few falsified ones.

In places such as Nanjing in the mainland, it is two different things on the account and Curry.For example, there may be [-] Wanli Type [-] muskets in the account, but you go to Curry to have a look: Good guy, there may be thousands of Wanli Type [-] guns on the outside, but if you look inside, most of them are fire sticks. There may be less than one hundred thousand fire sticks.

Liaodong belongs to the nine sides, and as one of the expected starting points of the "Eastern System" Chahar War, the armament situation is relatively reliable. Even if the previous Liaobei battle consumed a wave, it will not be insufficient to fight Nurhachi now.

The only question is whether the emperor is going to fight for real or fake.

This is not some kind of strategic bluff. A real fight is prepared for a real fight, and a fake fight has the appearance of a fake fight.If it's true, it's almost the end of the year and Liaodong is very cold. It's really not a good time.It is best to set the battle after the beginning of spring, and the period before that is used to deploy materials and personnel in place.

It is much easier to fake a fight, gather troops with great fanfare, and assemble from Liaoyang to Fushun Pass; surrounding places such as Shenyang, Tieling and other places can also blatantly transport materials to Fushun Pass.In this way, unless Nurhachi is mentally handicapped, he can definitely see that Daming is already eyeing him, and even "the arrow has to be fired when the arrow is on the string".

Nurhachi is certainly not mentally handicapped, at least he is still very keen in military affairs.In particular, he immediately withdrew his troops back to the old camp of Hetuala after invading the Dong E tribe years ago, without hesitation at all, which shows that he has long been on guard against the possible military response of Ming Dynasty.

Gao Wushi also mentioned this point to Zhu Yijun, and explained to the emperor that Nurhachi's behavior explained his psychology to some extent: he was testing Daming's tolerance.

Tolerance is never static. It depends not only on the strength gap between the two sides, but also on whether the active party feels that it is convenient to send troops at that time.

Call if it is convenient, the tolerance is zero; if it is inconvenient, wait first, the tolerance is very high.As long as the opponent hasn't directly touched Nilin, you can "look again".

Although Nurhachi was able to learn part of the information about Liaodong, he was beyond the reach of the Ming court and the court's decision-making, so he needed to test it out.

Testing the court itself shows that he has ambitions. Why would a person without ambition test the court?Zhu Yijun understands this truth as soon as he talks about it.

However, Zhu Yijun didn't quite understand Nurhachi's ambitions, or he was still not sure.

Zhu Yijun asked Gao Wushi: "You said Nurhachi, is it because his father and grandfather held a grudge against my Ming Dynasty, so he seemed obedient, but he was always ready to be like Wang Gao and his son, disobeying orders and even committing murder? ... Or Said that this person is only young and energetic, and his only thought is to be the ruler of Manchuria?"

It is hard for Gao Yushi to say that the wild boar skin may have rebellious bones in the back of his head, nor can he "scaremonger" so early that Nurhachi even plans to establish a country in Liaodong, so he can only say: "I think it is a combination of both."

He originally thought that such a statement would make Zhu Yijun more vigilant, but Zhu Yijun sneered disdainfully after hearing this: "There are many Jurchens who have regarded me as the enemy of Ming Dynasty. Where are the bones of this generation now?"

Uh... Those people are indeed dead, but your mentality is not very healthy.We still have to be modest and prudent, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and the Jurchen rebels take the lead and kill one by one. It is not a good tradition to just indulge in the glory of the past.

Of course, sometimes it's not the best way to kill directly.After all, in a few years, the Japanese may come to North Korea to fish. It is best to keep these disobedient Jurchens to fight the Japanese.No one needs to be distressed when they die, and it can also relieve the population pressure of the Little Ice Age. It is the best of both worlds, and death is a worthy death.

But the trouble is that only Gao Yushi knows what the Japanese are doing—Liu Xin doesn't count.Zhu Yijun didn't know about it, and he couldn't remind him in a highly pragmatic manner, so even if he wanted to keep the Jianzhou Department as cannon fodder for the Korean battlefield in the future, he found it difficult to persuade Zhu Yijun, and judging from Zhu Yijun's current attitude, he might be wrong It took Nurhachi a lesson to relieve his anger.

It seems that there are very few troubles in winning too many battles, and it is easy to make people feel complacent.Gao Pragmatically estimates that Zhu Yijun's judgment of Daming's strength may have been somewhat inaccurate, and he has a high opinion of Daming, thinking that everything can be resolved simply by force.

From a high-pragmatic point of view, military solutions are always the last resort, because the use of force represents a waste of national power.The current Ming Dynasty does not have the ability to rely on the military industry to stimulate the country's economy, so it is still necessary to be cautious when fighting a war.

Only by maintaining one's own strength all the time is the essence of "being in China to govern all nations". "Sima Fa" said: "Although a country is large, it will perish if it is warlike." These words are indeed incisive.

Later generations of the British Empire fought a small Boer War when they thought they were invincible, but it went downhill.But it refused to accept the old, fought two world wars toughly, and then completely withered.Even with the name of the five great powers, everyone can see the trend of decline, and they can only go back and be their younger brother.

Daming's current national conditions are already a bit strong, and Zhu Yijun himself still doesn't realize it. This has to make Gao Yushi a little worried, and even thinks that he should find an opportunity to release water and let Daming suffer a little loss, so that Zhu Yijun can correct his mentality.

But this idea passed in his mind in a flash. It is not difficult to make Daming suffer a little loss, but this is not in line with his consistent purpose since time travel.Moreover, suffering a small loss in a war also means unnecessary casualties. Which of these soldiers who died was not innocent?It also goes against his principles.

He has always positioned himself to save his compatriots, not to push them to death.There may be sacrifices in necessary wars, but they are sacrifices based on the interests of the whole people, and they are valuable. However, it is difficult for Gao Pragmatic to convince himself that he deliberately made sacrifices in order to make Zhu Yijun sober.

He sighed slightly, and said to Zhu Yijun: "Your majesty understands that I am a minister, and I know that ministers are always cautious about launching any war, and it is the same this time. Although Nurhachi is unruly, after all, he can use other means to restrain him. In my opinion, it is not yet the time to fight.

However, if the emperor thinks that Nurhachi will not know how to advance or retreat without a lesson, and must send troops, it is inconvenient for the minister to object.It's just that I still hope that the scale of this war will not be too large, and it will not affect the decisive battle of the "Oriental System". "

Seeing that he spoke solemnly, Zhu Yijun didn't take it seriously, but in order to take care of the mood of his heroic minister, he walked over with a haha, patted his shoulder, and said affectionately: "You have always been prudent, so I naturally I know, otherwise Huang Kao wouldn't have deliberately kept you by my side to assist me.

As for Nurhachi, I think you still have a high opinion of him. It is estimated that he has no more than [-] soldiers in Jianzhou.As for the significance of this war, I think there are still some: Jurchen is now worshiped by all ministries, but Nurhachi is jumping up and down.If I can teach him a lesson, it will make Liaodong Sheng safe and happy, and I will not cause chaos in Liaodong when I fight against Chahar in the future. Isn't this also something that should be planned in advance?Don't worry, don't worry. "

Gao Wushi saw that he was determined to fight this battle, so he had no choice but to nod his head, but then remembered something, and immediately asked: "This time to use troops against Jianzhou, does Uncle Ning Yuan need to personally go out?"

Zhu Yijun hadn't thought about this, he was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked in a deep thought: "What do you think, does he need to make a trip?"

Logically, there is no need, because the troops in the defense area east of the Liaohe River are obviously sufficient, and Li Chengliang cannot come over. It seems that Cao Yu can handle it by himself.

But when Gao Wushi specifically asked about this point, Zhu Yijun was somewhat misunderstood.Zhu Yijun thought that Gao Pragmatic was unwilling to let Cao Yu lose his troops in this matter alone, so he proposed Li Chengliang, and asked Li Chengliang to join in it. The boss and the second in the Liaodong military circle jointly bear the loss.

It is not unreasonable for him to think so, because as we all know, Cao Yu is now "only Gao Situ is the leader." If his troops lose too much, it will obviously have a negative impact on Gao Wu's influence in Liaodong.If Li Chengliang is also asked to send troops, as the Liaodong commander-in-chief, he must not send fewer troops than the deputy commander-in-chief Cao Yu, so the final loss should not be less than Cao Yu.

Considering that the two sides have inherently different strengths, this can be regarded as maintaining a certain balance.

Of course, the "strength" mentioned here is not the total strength, because the loss of the guards has no direct impact on the two of them, and the "strength" here refers to their servants.

But high pragmatism really doesn't mean that, at least not mainly.He muttered: "The two Nurhachi brothers served under Uncle Ning Yuan for a period of time in the early years, and they should be quite afraid of Uncle Ning Yuan's military power. I think that if Uncle Ning Yuan can beg him personally this time, Nurhachi will be deeply afraid." Under the circumstances, either voluntarily pleading guilty, or improper tactics, in short, there may be some benefits."

"So that's what you mean?" Zhu Yijun was taken aback for a moment before he realized that he was thinking about it.But he didn't wait for Gao Yushi to ask back, and immediately said: "In this case, let Li Chengliang go, I think he is too busy, it's time to move."

These words are a bit paradoxical, what does it mean that Li Chengliang is in a panic?How did you know that Li Chengliang was in a panic?
Gao Yushi's heart moved, and he suddenly understood: It seems that Zhu Yijun knew the previous case of Li Chengliang's "suspected private sale of gunpowder to Chahar".Although the School of Reality did not request to investigate this matter, the School of Mind tried every means to cover it up, but the emperor was not blind, let alone an idiot. He must have recognized Li Chengliang's guilt in his heart.

However, he may also think that Li Chengliang is still useful. Although the crime is serious, it has not caused irreparable consequences after all, so it is not necessary to force Li Chengliang to surrender.

However, it is obviously not a good thing to be missed by the emperor. Since Gao Wushi mentioned this incident, Zhu Yijun also remembered that Li Chengliang was not here, and felt that this matter was the best of both worlds. I paid the price - I just don't know if Li Chengliang can react.

The two monarchs and ministers discussed a few more details, and the matter was settled—the cabinet elders and the minister of the Ministry of War were not even present, and it was obvious that the emperor was to inform and persuade them.

When Gao Wushi came out of the palace, he saw that it was getting late, so he hurriedly went to the household department to register a value, went back to Baiyulou, and informed Suo Erguo and his son to come to see him.

Solgo himself is actually an extra, Gao Yushi really wants to meet Fei Yingdong.

This time, Gao Wushi was not very polite to the two of them. He briefly explained the matter, and then gave the task: Fei Yingdong should not continue to wait for Ye He's return gift for Gao Wushi's "buying a concubine", and immediately returned to Liaodong and went to Ye He's tribe took his Su Wan tribe's subordinates, and then asked Ye He to "borrow" five hundred troops to Shenyang, and planned to follow Cao Yu to send troops to build the state after the beginning of spring.

Of course Fei Yingdong himself doesn't have the face to ask Ye He to borrow five hundred soldiers, and even his father Solguo doesn't have such a big face, but they don't, Gao Pragmatic does.Of course, Gao Pragmatically wrote a letter to borrow soldiers, but Fei Yingdong took them with him.

Solguo didn't even think about why Gao Situ did this. He said that he sent his son to die.Besides, if someone borrows a knife to kill someone, why should they all be Ye He's soldiers?
The only possibility seems to be that Gao Situ really wanted to train Fei Yingdong.But Solgo couldn't figure it out, what good would it be for Gao Situ to train Fei Yingdong? ——
