Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 165 Deceiving No One (Please recommend a ticket)
After entering the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen was indeed still discussing matters with the cabinet, and Liu Hongjian's sudden arrival surprised Chongzhen.

"Aiqing didn't come to the court today, so why did you come here this time?" With other ministers around, Chongzhen naturally pretended to be slightly angry.

"Your Majesty, there is an important matter. What do you think it is?" Liu Hongjian handed Abnai's letter to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen opened it suspiciously, only glanced at it and then became angry, you ran over in a hurry, dare you just let me see the birdsong?

Of course Chongzhen didn't know Mongolian either, so he gave Liu Hongjian a look and handed the letter to Chief Assistant Zheng Sanjun.

Zheng Sanjun's old eyes were dim, and he stared at the weak light for a long time. He probably saw that it was in Mongolian characters, so he called for an interpreter from the Ministry of Rites.

After some tossing and checking, the interpreter concluded that the letter was genuine.

The content of the letter was exactly as expected by Liu Hongjian, it was nothing more than complaining that the Jurchens were not human beings. As Chahar Khan, he remembered the old friendship with Daming and wanted to restore the old relationship and fight against the powerful enemy together.

"This letter was sent by an old Mongolian man named Bo Luochi. I believe that this old man also has an important position in the Chahar tribe."

Porochi's demeanor and recognition are said to be rare in the Mongolian tribes, even in Daming. If Liu Hongjian didn't play cards according to common sense, ordinary people might not be able to break through this person's defense line.

"This person also said that the Jiannu side is currently enlisting troops from various tribes in Mongolia. I feel that the matter is very important, so I dare not delay, and come here immediately to report to His Majesty."

The entire population of the Manchu and Qing tribes was only 50 million, and it was not easy to recruit [-] strong soldiers from them. If they wanted to compete with the Ming Dynasty, they must recruit troops from the many tribes in the Mongolian steppe.

Chongzhen's complexion also became serious. For more than ten years, the Manchus had exhausted him. Daming's finances were also dragged down by the Nine Sides. Now the Manchus have made a comeback. Half a year later...

"Your Majesty, this matter needs to be treated with caution. I have heard that the Manchus have been pursuing a kinship policy in order to integrate the Mongolian tribes. Now that more than ten years have passed, many tribes have reached an agreement with the Manchus. This conscription must be to plot against my Ming Dynasty! "

Li Banghua, the second assistant, sighed after finishing speaking. He was really tired as a minister of the Ministry of War. Not to mention the shortage of soldiers and food everywhere, he didn't even have anyone who was able to recruit and fight well.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that the Chahar tribe is not in harmony with the Manchus. The Chahar tribe is a direct descendant of Genghis Khan. The vast grasslands are envied by the Manchus. Qing must not tolerate him.

Since the Chahar Department has proposed to re-allocate with our Ming Dynasty, according to my view, this matter is feasible. The Chahar Department can not only provide our Ming Dynasty with the horses it needs, but if we really want to fight against the Manchus in the future, the Chahar Department can also Containing its rear, there was no harm at that time! "

Ni Yuanlu, Secretary of the Household Department of Jianji Temple University, also spoke.

The rest of the court elders also seconded the proposal, which made Chongzhen and Liu Hongjian deeply gratified.

Although most of the seven elders in the cabinet are old, their strategic vision is very unique. Although they also came from reading the Four Books and Five Classics, they are not as pedantic as the rest of the ministers.

If this matter had been discussed in the court, there would have been a lot of quarrels by now. Liu Hongjian could even imagine that there would be many civil servants shouting that treacherous people are not enough to talk about the alliance.

After listening to the elders' opinions, Chongzhen did not make a conclusion, but glanced at Liu Hongjian, and motioned him to say the same.

I don't know when it started, but it seems that this has become a habit. After Chongzhen listened to the cabinet's opinions on some important matters related to Ming Dynasty, he often had to wait for Liu Hongjian to finish expressing his opinions before making a conclusion.

And Liu Hongjian's opinions are often favored and valued by Chongzhen, it seems...he, An Guohou, is already above the cabinet.

Not only Ni Yuanlu frowned slightly, but even Zheng Sanjun, the chief assistant of the cabinet, was deeply disturbed.

"Your Majesty, this alliance must be formed, but forming an alliance is not the most important thing at the moment. The Chahar Department is already too busy to take care of themselves. Even if they form an alliance, how many soldiers can they have?

It's just that they can take advantage of the alliance to buy more military horses from the Chahar Department, and the price can also be lowered.

Furthermore, in order to prevent him from being foolish, this matter should be passed on to Jiannu deliberately. This will not only strengthen the alliance between Daming and Abu Nai, but also prevent disasters from happening. I, Daming, can also spend more time preparing. "

Although this strategy is a bit poisonous, as the Marquis of Daming, of course Daming is the most important thing in his thinking and thinking. As for the foreigners, after the snipe and clam fight each other, they will be beaten bloody.

My Daming sent troops to the north to rescue Chahar from the fire and water. Don't they still have to be grateful to Dade?

"An Guohou's plan is very clever!" Meng Zhaoxiang, a scholar of Zhongji Temple, seconded his words.

Meng Zhaoxiang is the youngest in the cabinet except for his family friend Liu Hongjian. Speaking of his position as a bachelor, it was also rewarded by Chongzhen for his meritorious service in recommending Liu Hongjian.

It is said that Meng Zhaoxiang didn't talk much, but he was not a pedantic person, so when he heard this clever plan, he immediately spoke in favor of it.

The eyes of the rest of the people also lit up.

"That's not enough, Your Majesty, he dared to conspire with me, Daming, with so few people in the Qing Dynasty, this is deceiving me, Daming, who has no one!

It is only a few hundred thousand of them to bring the whole family to fight. My Ming Dynasty has tens of millions of people. I am afraid that he will do something. My Ming Dynasty also conscripts, and more conscripts are required. According to my ministers, at least 50 troops must be conscripted! "

Liu Hongjian stretched out five fingers, and several people in the cabinet gasped in shock.

Conscripting so many soldiers at one time, even if the Ming treasury can afford the money, even the military rations can't afford it, and the money can't be eaten. Is this An Guohou crazy?

Of course Liu Hongjian knew why these colleagues were worried, but he was still somewhat dissatisfied with these ministers.

The defense line from Shanhaiguan to Yansui and Ningxia had a garrison of 30 troops during the time of Chengzu, which was only the border guards on the nine sides, and the Beijing camp had 72 guards, which was also 34 troops.

Yangyang China has such a large territory, even later generations will have millions of troops, but what about the current Ming Dynasty?
The entire defense line in the north is equivalent to 12 frontier troops. The defense line defending Nuo Da is already stretched.

After the Beijing camp was divided up by Huang and Qin, there are now only a poor [-] soldiers left.

There is endless turmoil in the south, and I don't know when it will be the day of peace. According to the original plan, [-] will be collected next year, and [-] will be collected the year after.

"As for the food that everyone is worried about, if there is not enough in the south of the Yangtze River, I know a person who can definitely get food for Daming if he only gives money!"

Thinking of a person, Liu Hongjian couldn't help but look dark, and the corners of his mouth raised.

PS: Guess who this person is?

PS: Early warning on shelves, see you tomorrow at 12:[-] noon.
