Chapter 1991: Inside and Outside the Palace ([-]) Wenhua Calls for a Match (Part [-])
In the morning of the next day, Gao Yushi originally planned to go to Xinzhai Bieyuan to meet Dong Yiyuan and Liu Ting according to the original plan, so as to avoid the feeling that he would ignore people once they were sent to other yards. It means that brothers and sisters get a chance to reunite after a long absence.It's a pity that something unexpected happened to this idea, and Dong Yiyuan and Liu Ting actually came into the city.

After Gao Wushi asked, he found out that it turned out that the Ministry of War sent someone to inform him that the two of them had come to the city early in the morning. He said that Wen Huazhao told the cabinet and the Ministry of War yesterday that the emperor had not approved their suggestions on how to deal with the current fighting situation in Gansu. The two of them will be sent to the palace for consultation, so the Ministry of War will notify them in advance to wait in the city.

I see.Gao Wushi nodded, and left Dong Yiyuan to talk, and asked Liu Ting to see his sister.However, he and Dong Yiyuan hadn't chatted a few words before the eunuch came and summoned him and the two general soldiers to go to the Wenhua Hall to face the saint.

Liu Ting had just met Liu Xin at this time, and the brother and sister were called away without saying a few words, feeling somewhat depressed.But the emperor's call could not be delayed, so he had no choice but to leave the gifts for his nephew and niece, and leave by himself first.

Seeing this, Gao Wushi comforted, "Just wait until the call is right, I will also live in Baiyulou tomorrow, it will be convenient then."

Liu Chen thought that Gao Yushi moved to Baiyulou just for this matter, so he hurriedly said, "How dare you work hard, Lord Marquis."

Gao Wushi waved his hands and said, "I'm going, brother-in-law doesn't need to see outside."

Liu Ting heard that he changed his name to "brother-in-law" at this time, that is according to his family members, so he couldn't say anything more, so he agreed immediately.

The three of them went all the way to the palace under the leadership of the eunuch, and when they reached the Wenhua Palace, they were immediately summoned to enter.At this time, there were still those people in the Wenhua Palace——the emperor, the five elders, and Song Yingchang, Minister of the Ministry of War.Of course, if you have to struggle, Chen Ju and Wang An are also there.

"Chen Gao Wushi (Dong Yiyuan, Liu Ting) pays homage to my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

"Excuse me." Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said to Wang An, "Give Nanning a seat."

At this time, there were no other servants in the hall except Chen Ju and Wang An, so Wang An moved a chair for Gao Yushi himself, and respectfully said, "Master Hou, please sit down."

"The factory supervisor is here." Gao Wushi said politely with a smile.At this time, he was not polite to the emperor, because the other five elders and Song Yingchang were all sitting, it is estimated that the call just now had been going on for a long time.

Zhu Yijun took the initiative and said, "Rixin, you didn't come yesterday, so some things may not be clear. Both Li Wen and Xu Sanwei have submitted new memorials...Chen Ju, tell the Nanning Marquis."

"Observe the decree." Chen Ju led the decree, and said to Gao Yushi: "Master Hou, Li Zhijun and Xu Fujun both went to the court yesterday. The two border officials have different views on the current military crisis facing Gansu, and they made a request to the court. Aid is also quite different. Yesterday, we called a pair... but failed to discuss the results.

Generally speaking, Li Zhijun believes that although Suzhou has encountered setbacks, the Ganzhou Five Guards have been strengthened several times in recent years. Its strength is about [-]. Relying on Ganzhou's city defense and the surrounding dock system, it should be able to contain the attack. Chahar Bingfeng continued eastward.

Therefore, Li Zhijun believes that as long as Ganzhou defends with all its strength and waits for the Tumote cavalry in Qinghai and Achatu to gather and threaten the two wings of the Chahar bandit army, then Chahar will be in a dilemma of being unable to attack for a long time, and at the same time worry When the flank was attacked, the only way left was to retreat.

At the same time, Guyuan was [-] miles away from Ganzhou, and there was no time to rescue them in such a hurry. If rescuers were forcibly sent, Chahar would have retreated halfway, and it would be a waste of food and money.Therefore, as long as Gansu mobilizes the garrisons in Lanzhou, Xining and other places to assemble in Yongchang, the Chahar bandit army will retreat when they find out. "

Chen Ju paused, and seeing that Gao Wushi didn't intend to ask, he continued: "Xu Fujun's views are almost completely opposite to those of Li Zhijun. Xu Fujun believes that Chahar seized Yarkand by himself. It has been recuperating for seven or eight years, and now there are local soldiers from Yarkand under his command, which shows that he has completely completed his control, and his strength has not decreased but increased compared to before.

In this way, the [-] soldiers in Ganzhou may not be able to secure everywhere. Even if Ganzhou City is not lost, the surrounding Wubao will probably be greatly damaged.Although the Tumed cavalry on the two wings each have more than ten thousand available, they may not be able to believe it at the moment.

Xu Fujun believes that Qinghai Huoluochibu is wild and unruly, in the past they were only forced to subdue, if the war is not good for me now, I'm afraid they will not move intentionally, I can't believe it.

Although Achatu's Sha Chixing is the son of Zhong Jinhatun, but he is too young, his prestige in the army is still unknown, and the same is true for his ability to use soldiers.Therefore, even if his loyalty is credible, his combat power is hard to say, so whether he can be competent for the flank is still in doubt.

In this way, neither of the two wings can be trusted. If only the five guards of Ganzhou stick to it without a large army to help, Chahar coach Buri Hatu may not choose to retreat.

Xu Fujun believes that Buri Hatu may choose to contact Huo Luochi and persuade him to fight back, or at least stand still.Then he concentrated his forces to defeat the Shachixing Department, and our army's two wings were destroyed, and Ganzhou fell into an isolated city.

If there is no army to help at this time, how do you know that Brihatu will not insist on besieging the city, waiting to exhaust our army's rations?At that time, the overall situation in the Northwest will be completely collapsed, Shandan and Yongchang will fall not far away, Liangzhou and Xining will fall into flames, and Lanzhou and Lintao will also be unable to sustain themselves. Therefore, the shock in Guanzhong is inevitable. "

Seeing that Chen Ju did not continue, Gao Wushi guessed that the above was Li Wen and Xu Sanwei's respective opinions, so he asked, "So, what is the dispute about yesterday's meeting?"

Chen Ju glanced at the elders and Song Yingchang, and said, "Maybe he thinks that the reserves in the Northwest are insufficient, and the army's support is really insufficient; Either agree with what Li Zhijun saw, or agree with what Xu Fujun said."

In fact, Gao Yushi had previously suggested mobilizing the Tumed cavalry in Qinghai and Achatu areas as the two wings of Ganzhou. It stands to reason that he should not hesitate to agree with Li Wen, the governor of the three sides, and let Ganzhou and the two Tumed cavalry Independently resolve the matter in Gansu.

However, the question Xu Sanwei raised this time cannot be said to be aimless, and his worry is indeed justified.

Huo Luochi has a criminal record. If Brihatu finds him now and successfully persuades him, not to mention asking him to fight back, as long as he stands still or deliberately delays, the left wing of Ganzhou will be considered abolished.

Sha Chixing from the right wing in Ganzhou did have the problems Xu Sanwei mentioned.Sha Chixing was the second son of Zhong Jin Hatun. When Al Da Khan died—that is, in the ninth year of Wanli, Sha Chixing had just learned to walk, so he was only in his twenties now.

Although Tumed has launched several battles in cooperation with Ming Dynasty in these years, Sha Chixing has nothing to do with it. He was entrusted to Achatu after the end of the war against Yuan.Under such circumstances, Xu Sanwei doubted his prestige in the Tumed army, and even doubted his ability to use troops that he had never demonstrated, which was perfectly normal.

Considering that the Chahar army was personally commanded by Buri Hatu, and Buri Hatu's ability was unquestionable, Xu Sanwei suspected that he would appease Huo Luochi while concentrating his forces to defeat the notorious Sha Chixing. It is also reasonable, and it is impossible for the court not to consider it.

But in retrospect, Li Wen's opinion can't be wrong. The problems in the Northwest often lie in two aspects: distance and logistics.Too much distance means that it is difficult to get any troops quickly, and logistical difficulties make it very expensive to mobilize troops, so these two difficulties are almost always accompanied by each other.

As long as the troops are mobilized, it will cost a lot, and it is difficult to end quickly every time the troops are mobilized, so the cost is even greater.Too far away made it difficult for the infantry-based Ming army to rush to the battlefield quickly. When they arrived, as long as the opponent felt that it was difficult to defeat, they would choose to flee temporarily. Therefore, the Ming army either made the trip in vain, or stopped at the local area and fought against the enemy. The opponent is consuming.

Although the Ming Dynasty has a strong foundation, but they are nomads, and the loss they spend there is much lighter than that of the Ming army. It is obviously not a problem to continue to consume like this.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty’s defense system against them has always been the model of the city and Wubao, that is, once the nomads invaded the border, the Ming army and the local Han people would concentrate on the city and Wubao [Note: also known as the pier fort], and wait until they have been for a long time. If you can't attack and retreat by yourself, you will be considered a victory.

Wubao is a very important part of the defense system of the Ming Dynasty border army. When there is a war, it can be used as a buffer for the residents to live in. The army can be stationed in the Wubao. Partly, but always a big plus.

In fact, from Gao Yushi's point of view, although the views of Li Wen and Xu Sanwei seem to be opposite, in fact, they both make judgments from their own standpoints, and there is no right or wrong in their own attitudes.

Li Wen, the trilateral governor, is in charge of the whole of Shaanxi, Gansu, and Ningxia. Of course, from his standpoint, he feels that he cannot give all his strength to Gansu.

Here is an unspoken thought: If you really lost Gansu, it would only be Gansu after all. I, Shaanxi, at least still have the power to defend.However, if Gansu has just been invaded by the border at this time, I will do my best to support you. What if this force is also lost in Gansu, and the Chahar army will directly enter Guanzhong?The combined heads of you and me are not enough to chop off.

In the eyes of Xu Sanwei, the governor of Gansu, it is obvious that Gansu is the first line, and of course you are in the second line of Guanzhong, and of course you must give full support.This is the so-called "Ning in Hexi, Guanzhong is safe", if I lose Hexi, how can you be safe in Guanzhong?
Gao Pragmatically thought about it and couldn't help shaking his head. In fact, the problem with the two of them was that they only considered issues from their own position and did not reach a higher strategic level. At the same time, there is also a lack of understanding of the overall situation.

The most critical problem is that they don't know the level of power beyond their control.To put it plainly, they only know how much food they can use and how many soldiers they can mobilize, but they don't know how much financial, material and manpower they can use at the court level.

Perhaps in their view, the imperial court has been fighting continuously for these years, even if they don't talk about military strength, at least the material and financial resources must be huge, and even now it is not sure whether the Pingwa War is over or not.

The Battle of Pingwa was presided over by Gao Yushi. Li Wen and Xu Sanwei would definitely not think that they could "compete for the budget" with the Minister of Household Affairs, so even if the imperial court had money and food, they would only give it to the Pingwo army. I'm afraid they won't spare much to support them.

Therefore, both of them consider coping from the premise of the resources they can mobilize, so there are the above differences.

As for yesterday's matchmaking, Gao Wushi didn't ask who supported Li Wen and who supported Xu Sanwei. This is actually not important, because... only Gao Wushi knows the truth about the reformed large household department. The other elders can only guess, and they don't have a real number in their hearts.

Seeing Gao Yushi's face as usual, Zhu Yijun was a little relieved, and asked, "Which of the two of them do you think Rixin thinks better?"

Gao Wushi glanced at the emperor, then at the cabinet officials, and said, "The opinions of both are not wrong."

Zhu Yijun was startled, frowned and said, "But now we have to adopt one side."

"I think they can all be adopted." Gao Yushi smiled and said, "However, in addition to their views, some supplements can be added. In short, Li Zhijun believes that reinforcements cannot be easily sent to avoid weakening Guanzhong. Strength, this is a kind of bottom-line thinking. Xu Fujun insisted that if he wanted to consolidate Guanzhong, Gansu should be settled first, so he insisted on reinforcements to avoid accidents in Ganzhou.

However, there are obviously other options for the imperial court, such as gathering some available and uncontrolled troops from Ganzhou, Shaanxi and even Ordos, and let them support Ganzhou. "

"Is Rixin saying that the generals who are at home will be allowed to take their family members to Ganzhou?" Zhu Yijun reacted quite quickly, but he immediately frowned and said: "Is it just for them to commit crimes and meritorious deeds, or do they need to be paid and rewarded? Oh yes, How will the army of Ordos be used, is it related to taking crimes and performing meritorious deeds?"

Gao Wushi said: "Naturally, you will be paid when you go to war, and you will naturally be rewarded if you win the battle. There are quite a few generals and servants who are idle at home, and they are also very powerful in wars, but those generals usually support them. The army may not be able to afford it when it is time to go out, and only the imperial government can subsidize it to stimulate the fighting spirit.

As for Ordos... Does the emperor still remember Bo Shuo Ketu?His original official position in Mongolia was quite impressive, and he was Jinong, second only to the Great Khan in name.

However, because this person aided the evildoers during the Northwest Rebellion, he has been punished until now.Now that there are police in the Northwest, it is possible to use the cancellation of punishment as a condition to make it work for the court-even the salary is exempted, why not do it? "

After Gao Wushi finished speaking, Zhu Yijun didn't say whether it was good or bad, but Wang Jiaping asked, "If Bo Shuo Ketu is released, this person won't do stupid things anymore, right?"

This issue is obviously very important, especially the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty believe that "people who are not of our race must have different hearts" than the generals, and are worried that after Bo Shuo Ketu is released, this guy will sing against the court.After all, he is also Jinong, and his appeal among the Mongols is still real. If he causes chaos in Hetao because of this, it will not be worth the loss.
