Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 252: North Korea is in chaos, sending troops to devour its people, turning their land into a meat grinder!
In the embroidery building, the maids huddled together, surrounding two women with their hair tied up in buns, and a girl.
Chen Wuyang entered with fierce eyes.
"Your father is plotting a rebellion, do you know?"
But these women have earth-colored faces.
But the little girl walked out of the crowd and pointed at Chen Wuyang: "Without the Holy Spirit's decree, how dare you accuse my father of treason?"
Chen Wuyang's purpose was to scare these women.
Force Mrs. Yang to hand over the evidence.
But who would have known that Yang Xuan's nine-year-old daughter would turn out to be a powerful character.
Yang Xuan hid a fake account book in her bedroom just to play tricks on the factory guards.
Chen Wuyang had a fierce look on his face: "You are a bitch with a sharp mouth. I am in need of a concubine, so I will be merciful and accept you!"
"To shut up!"
The little Yang shouted sharply: "I think the one who rebelled was not my father, but you!"
"The Holy One has decreed that the daughter of a hundred officials should enter the palace and serve for three years. I am still young, so I have to enter the palace and serve before I can accept this person! This is a minister's way of repaying the emperor's favor!"
"My father is bent on repaying the emperor's favor, so how can he be plotting rebellion?"
"On the contrary, it was you who broke into the Yin family's house in Zhengsanpin Mansion, made rude remarks to his daughter and family members, and prevented me from entering the palace to serve!"
"Disrespectful to officials and disloyal to His Majesty!"
"You are the one who conspired against me!"
Xiao Yang shouted sharply.
The two sisters-in-law behind her kept tugging at her clothes, telling her to stop talking.
If you don't see that people have weapons, say a few words and you won't be able to choke them to death.
Mrs. Yang happened to come in and secretly cheered when she heard the young girl's words. I really didn't expect that this little concubine could be so knowledgeable?
The Yang family's crisis must be resolved by her.
Chen Wuyang was speechless and was stopped by a nine-year-old girl.
He really wanted to fool around, but the problem was that he was in his 30s, how could he fool around with a nine-year-old girl?How to play?
Fortunately, Fan Qing came in, bowed to Xiao Yang and said, "Young Master taught me a lesson."
"But there was a thief in your mansion, and your father, Mr. Yang, was injured and fainted."
"I am the commander of Dongchang. I am just helping your house catch the thieves who have entered the house. Please be patient, young lady."
Xiao Yang looked at Chen Wuyang.
Fan Qing smiled bitterly: "This person was stimulated and suffered from aphansia. His brain is not normal. Please don't blame him."
Chen Wuyang was about to argue, but Fan Qing glared at him.
As long as the central government does not issue an imperial edict, Yang Xuan will be the Yin of the Third Grade Yingtian Mansion!
It's a felony for you to beat him, and it's an even greater felony for you to break into his home!
I'm saving you!
"Hehehe!" Chen Wuyang giggled and immediately pretended to be stupid.
"You really look like a fool."
Little Yang was smarter and did not expose Chen Wuyang's pretense of stupidity.
Instead, he bowed to Fan Qing and said, "Thank you, Commander, for helping the little girl catch the thief in her home, but please do as you please."
Mrs. Yang winked at her, her family was avoiding Dongchang, why did you recruit her from home?
Fan Qing gave her a high look. This young lady's future is limitless. When she comes to serve in the palace, if she is valued by His Majesty...
I am afraid that I will be liquidated for forcing my way into the Yang Mansion today.
The sharp light in his eyes flashed away.
Little Yang seemed to have sensed Fan Qing's murderous intention, and bowed: "Filial piety is the most important thing, Your Majesty, please allow me to allow this little girl to serve her father's medicine."
What a smart girl!
It will be great in the future.
Fan Qing also bowed: "Young lady, you are well-educated and sensible. Please forgive me if there are any inconsiderations."
Little Yang nodded with a smile, only to reveal two missing teeth!
Fan Qing didn't feel funny at all, but felt scared.
A nine-year-old girl is so smart. How evil will she be when she is 19 years old?
"Please don't blame me, young lady."
Fan Qing bowed deeply and pulled Chen Wuyang out of the embroidery building.
"Why didn't you check it?" Chen Wuyang was not as thoughtful as Fan Qing.
"This woman is extraordinary. The cause today will have the consequences tomorrow." Fan Qing seemed to have predicted her own ending.
"What do you mean?"
Chen Wuyang didn't understand it at all.
Fan Qing was too lazy to explain: "Brother Chen, this matter ends here."
"Are you afraid?"
Chen Wuyang threw him away: "The matter has reached this point, but you are backing down?"
"Do you think that if you withdraw now and Yang Xuan wakes up, you can be let go?"
"Now, either we find evidence of Yang Xuan, or Yang Xuan kills us!"
"You choose!"
If Fan Qing doesn't investigate, I, Chen Wuyang, will investigate!
Chen Wuyang walked towards the study angrily, but suddenly there was a noise from the direction of the wing, and he turned around suddenly: "Who's there!"
He walked towards the side room.
At the door of the wing, there was a pile of firewood that had not been removed in time.
Chen Wuyang took out his knife and wanted to prick the firewood once. After making sure that no one was hiding behind the firewood, he pushed open the side room and glanced around. There was no one in the side room.
"Did you hear the sound?" Chen Wuyang asked Fanzi.
They all shook their heads and said they didn't hear it.
Is it hallucinations?
When Chen Wuyang turned around, he saw a black clothes corner on the side of the firewood pile, and then quickly withdrew it.
The thief is there!
Sure enough, it came from him.
"It seems that I heard wrongly. Go to the study."
Chen Wuyang remained calm and exited the wing with Fanzi.
At the same time, he gave the fans a wink.
It was immediately clear that they were all thieves.
Suddenly he turned around and slashed at the side of the firewood pile. Fanzi quickly rushed over and directly controlled the thief.
"It's you?"
Chen Wuyang was shocked. This thief was the boy who sold lanterns that day.
"Is that you?" The boy selling lanterns also recognized Chen Wuyang.
"Sir, do you know each other?" Fanzi asked in surprise.
"Catch it first."
The thief was found, and Chen Wuyang went into Yang Xuan's study to rummage around.
Found another hidden compartment.
The secret room is also a ledger, with banknotes in it.
I thought I found a clue.
But I remember that the account books were all the daily expenses of the Yang family, and the banknotes were all of small denominations, 100 taels, 100 taels, and some were gifts from the palace.
"You stupid Yang Xuan, you are playing tricks on me!"
Chen Wuyang lost his account book and banknotes.
The bamboo basket was empty.
The purpose was also revealed.
Yang Xuan is really smart. Nothing she hides is a secret, so where will the secret be hidden?
After Fan Qing entered the study, he stared at a painting in trance.
"There is nothing. I have checked this painting and the back of the painting. There is nothing. Moreover, this painting is not valuable."
Chen Wuyang said impatiently.
Fan Qing looked at the painting with great interest: "Don't you think this painting is familiar?"
This is a picture of bamboo, all of which are emerald green bamboos.
"This kind of painting can be seen everywhere on the street, and any painter can paint it." Chen Wuyang said.
"Do not."
Fan Qing said: "There is one in the bedroom, one in the embroidery building, plus this one of plum, bamboo and orchid, there are three paintings, but the painting of chrysanthemum is missing."
After being reminded by Fan Qing, Chen Wuyang said: "Ju is in the wing, I saw it just now."
"Get them all!"
Fan Qing asked people to fetch all four paintings.
Take away the scroll and the mounting paper, leaving only a thin piece of paper. The four paintings are overlapped and looked at the sun.
"Here's another picture!"
Chen Wuyang exclaimed.
The fans all came to look at it in surprise. When the four paintings were put together, a different scene appeared in the four paintings. It was another painting.
Picture in picture!
"This seems to be on the sea, and the big boat doesn't look like a boat in the river..." Chen Wuyang didn't know how to paint.
Fan Qing was somewhat involved, but he didn't dare to say accurately: "This should be Zheng He's voyages to the West."
Because the four pictures are put together, the details become very blurred and only an outline is visible.
There is no master of painting in Fanzi.
Not entirely sure.
"What does this picture mean? A ship? What does it mean?"
Fan Qing frowned.
Being able to hide this painting so deeply just shows that this painting is very important.
But what to express?
Fan Qing had to consult a master of painting, who restored the painting to its original state, rolled it up on a scroll, and took it all away.
Mrs. Yang saw Fan Qing taking away the scroll and said nothing.
And in the palace.
The Chuanlu Ceremony is being held.
Zhu Qiyu selected Wang Yikui as the top pick, Qi Shun as the second pick, and Bai Ang as the third overall pick.
The process is over.
The cabinet comes up with a list.
Above are the place names.
This year's Jinshi, after three months of training in the capital, all went to local areas for training.
Most of them are in the provinces of Gansu, Ningxia, Rehe, Guangxi and Guangdong.
Each Jinshi was given a piece of paper to write down where they wanted to go, and then put it in the box.
The final result is drawn up by the center.
What seems like a choice is actually a test of the mind.
Let’s see who really wants to go somewhere for experience, and who is greedy for glory and wants to go to a good place to enjoy happiness.
They went to Wenhua Hall to make their choice.
In the Fengtian Hall, Zhu Qiyu said: "Next year, I won't be granted the imperial examination. The imperial examination in the 11th year of Jingtai will be held as normal."
"In Jingtai's 12th year, Enke will be given again, to those who go to the frontiers for training. Only then will they be eligible to participate in Jingtai's 12th year of Enke."
This was promised before.
This year is the ninth year of Jingtai.
According to what Hu Hui said, the more talents the better, but the emphasis should be on cultivating them, giving them a stage to display their talents, giving them the opportunity to make mistakes, and slowly cultivating them.
It takes ten years to cultivate a prefect's talent.
It takes 20 years to recruit the talent of a provincial governor.
It takes 30 years to recruit talents into the center.
Therefore, Zhu Qiyu does not intend to cut off Enke, but leaves enough space to give talents space to develop and compete in a healthy way.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Hu Hui took the lead and knelt down and said: "Now that spring is warm and flowers are blooming, it is the spring plowing season in Gyeonggi."
"As for the saplings brought from the south, I thought they could be distributed."
"Planting trees is a big deal, just follow the old lady's advice."
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "According to statistics, more than [-] people starved to death in the capital, and this is included in the statistics."
"How many people have starved to death on the roadside, becoming a withered skeleton and no one cares about them?"
"My guess is that 10 people in Gyeonggi Province may starve to death!"
"It's pitiful that I, the emperor, can't do anything about it."
"This winter, no matter what, I finally got through it!"
"In the ninth year of Jingtai, I don't want anyone to starve to death again!"
Zhu Qiyu said seriously: "The framework of the Agriculture Department has just been established. Xue Xilian, you will be the first chief officer and the left minister of the Ministry of Rites."
The lack of a right minister shows that the emperor attaches great importance to the Department of Agriculture.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Agriculture is the foundation of all industries, and using an important minister like Xue Xilian as the first chief officer of the Department of Agriculture is the greatest priority.
Moreover, he himself knows agriculture.
We also discussed some agricultural matters, especially the compilation of agricultural books.
Agriculture in the Ming Dynasty has stalled.
The Yuan Dynasty burned many agricultural books from the Song Dynasty. By the Ming Dynasty, less than one-third of them had been preserved.
Therefore, many details need to be re-summarized and compiled.
Later, the Tatar Qing Dynasty burned books for hundreds of years, which completely broke the roots of the Han people.
Hu Xi changed the topic: "Your Majesty, the veteran has been in low spirits recently and has difficulty in handling important affairs of the staff."
"So I would like to ask Your Majesty to appoint another capable minister to help the veteran minister share the burden."
He wants to transfer Li Xian to the center.
Once he leaves first, Li Xian can take over from him and become the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "Old Master, I also want to transfer capable ministers. The problem is that the capable ministers are all in the same place and will not be transferred back within three years."
"Look at the cabinet department and see who can be the left minister of the official department."
"If you like it, I will promote him."
Zhu Qiyu pretended not to understand.
Li Xian, he does not intend to reuse him.
This person is difficult to control and cannot tell whether he is an enemy or a friend, so he cannot be used for the time being.
"Your Majesty, there is no war in Liaoning now. The old minister wants to transfer Li Xian, the governor of Liaoning, to the capital to serve as the left minister." Hu Ming was straightforward.
"Old Master, who said there is no war in Liaoning?"
Zhu Qiyu continued to act stupid: "It's spring now. In May and June, I will dispatch soldiers to recapture Nuergandusi."
"I'm worried about Li Xian not being in Liaoning."
Zhu Qiyu did not give Hu Xi a chance to speak, and directly changed the topic to war: "Xing Guogong, we are attacking Wuliangha. Who do you think can be the chief military officer."
His original intention was to transfer Yu Qian out of Beijing.
But now the plowing of Jiangxi has been put on hold, and the capital is not safe. Yu Qian must sit in the capital so that he can sleep peacefully.
"Your Majesty, you were still concerned about money and food just now."
"Why are you talking about fighting?"
Yu Qian smiled bitterly: "The Wuliangha live in very scattered places, so it is difficult to win a battle."
"Weichen estimates that it will take at least three to five years to plow Wuliangha down."
"So, it's a long war."
"We need a huge amount of food supplies, and Wei Chen feels that this year is not a good opportunity to fight this battle."
He was against war.
The good opportunity to attack Ulyanha should be when the construction of Rehe is completed and peace is restored in Liaoning. This is the good opportunity to send troops northward.
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "What I don't know is that the first batch of grain from Annan has been shipped to Guangxi, so food is not a problem this year."
"what?"
The courtiers exclaimed, Annan really transported grain to the Ming Dynasty?
"Xia Xun's secret memorial arrived first, and the official memorial will arrive in just a few days."
Zhu Qiyu stood up and said in an excited tone: "I have said that Sanxuan and Liuwei are treasures, and most of them are food. It's time for me to pick the fruits of the trees planted by Emperor Taizong!"
"Your Majesty, how many ships are there for the first batch of grain?" Yu Qian asked anxiously.
"84 ships, Annan should be asking for directions."
Zhu Qiyu said calmly: "He wants to test Ming Dynasty and see what Ming Dynasty's attitude is."
"Let's give him a chance and let Annan see Daming's attitude."
"I have given a secret order to let Fang Ying deploy one hundred thousand troops at the border between the two countries. Then he will open the market, with a big stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other. Let's see what King Annan chooses."
Hu Xi wanted to persuade.
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Annan is a trivial matter and cannot be fought. Fang Ying has her own sense of discretion. I will also order merchants to trade in Annan."
"You have to scare people, and you can't fight a war."
"Fang Ying, Xia Xun, Zhu Yong, etc. are enough to handle it."
"Talking back to the north."
"If all these grains are shipped to Liaoning."
"Xing Guogong, can we fight this battle?"
Yu Qian bowed to the ground and said: "If there is enough food, I think we can have a few small battles."
"The remaining power of wiping out the Tatars has not been exhausted, so Wu Liangha should not dare to confront the Ming Dynasty head-on."
"Let's just treat this battle as a training exercise."
Yu Qian's words aroused the approval of the courtiers.
It’s okay to have a little fight.
You can't rashly annex other people's territory, biting off more than you can chew, just digest the results bit by bit.
"Who can serve as the chief military officer?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Wei Chen has several candidates for your Majesty's reference."
Yu Qian said seriously: "Wei Chen feels that the No. 1 choice is Zhao Fu. Zhao Fu fights steadily. Although he has no clever tricks, he will not be defeated;"
"The second is Mao Zhong. Mao Zhong is a brave general who can defeat powerful enemies."
"The third is Cao Yi. Cao Yi has guarded Liaodong for many years and is very familiar with Liaodong. It is appropriate to send him to pacify Wuliangha."
He recommended all veterans.
"Xing Guogong's words, the old man will seek the country."
Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied: "Does anyone else have suitable candidates?"
The courtiers all felt that Yu Qian was a good candidate.
Veteran out, one top two.
All are safe.
Let’s not talk about the outcome of the battle, there will definitely be nothing wrong.
Zhu Qiyu still had to think about it, and asked everyone to go to the palace and ask questions one by one.
The court meeting is temporarily over.
"Xuan Maozhong and Cao Yi enter the palace."
Entering the Yangxin Hall, Zhu Qiyu moved around for a while, had some snacks, and began to deal with government affairs.
Soon, two people came from the martial arts hall.
Zhao Fu is still in Xuanzhen.
"Give a seat."
Zhu Qiyu told the story of the court meeting.
Surprise flashed in the eyes of Mao Zhong and Cao Yi, and they kowtowed quickly to ask for their orders.
"I ask you, how many people are needed? How many results can be achieved?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Your Majesty, we only need 2 ministers! We can drive out Wuliangha for [-] miles!" Mao Zhong was the first to say.
Cao Yi could be said to have suffered repeated defeats. He smiled bitterly and said: "We need a hundred thousand troops for a small minister."
Mao Zhong gave him a provocative look.
When it comes to fighting, it still depends on our success.
"Where are the battle losses?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.
Mao Zhong didn't answer.
Cao Yi said, "Wei Chen can ensure that the battle damage is controlled to a very small level."
"Your Majesty, [-] elite soldiers will consume very little money and food."
"Besides, if you run out of troops, you can raise them again."
"Why should we care about the lives of those weak people?"
Mao Zhong found it difficult to understand.
As long as we win the battle, why do we think so much?
Therefore, Mao Zhong was a general, not a handsome man. He fought regardless of the consequences and did not have the qualifications to be a famous general.
Let Mao Zhong lead the troops. The results will be great, but the losses will also be great.
Post-war pensions are all issued by the central government!
People have died so many times, how many years will it take for them to return to life?
Zhu Qiyu immediately ruled out Mao Zhong.
Cao Yi used too many troops, and he was too old. The battle was very hard, and he might not be able to sustain it.
"Everyone, go down and teach in the martial arts hall. You will have days to fight on the battlefield."
Mao Zhong thought that the emperor had appointed him, and he was very proud.
However, Cao Yi saw through the emperor's thoughts, and the emperor did not intend to use them anymore.
Zhu Qiyu wrote a letter to Zhao Fu.
Examination of the school examination Zhao Fu's views.
"With an army of [-], how many civilians need to be recruited to transport them?"
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "If you don't care about the consequences, it's best to use Mao Zhong. With 2 people, it doesn't matter if you die in a foreign country."
After Wang Yue and Jiang Wan got married.
Jiang Wan wanted to be transferred out of Xuanzhen to participate in the Northern Expedition.
In terms of civil servants, Zhu Qiyu felt that Zhang Gu and Yue Zheng were more suitable. Zhang Gu knew military skills, and Yue Zheng's status was high enough to suppress military generals, and he would not overstep his authority.
The eunuch can use Hua En. Hua En is like a fish in water in the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion. He can learn from all over the place, which can give him some experience.
"My lord, something has happened!"
Fu Yuan hurried over: "You Shaoqing of Honglu Temple came to the palace and said that North Korea sent an envoy to ask for help. North Korea's Pyongyang has been lost, and soldiers are threatening Seoul! The capital city will be lost at any time!"
"what?"
Zhu Qiyu's expression changed slightly: "Where is the map?"
Feng Xiao quickly went to get the map.
As soon as I opened the map, Yang Xun, the Right Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, arrived.
The former minister Qi Zheng was transferred to the Military Discipline Department, and the current minister Bian Yongze went to Annan as envoy.
"Your Majesty, according to the information revealed by the North Korean envoy, the Jurchen tribe has occupied Pyongyang and has no plans to leave."
Zhu Qiyu pointed at Pyongyang: "Pyongyang is lost, there is no danger to defend in the south, and North Korea is going to perish!"
All the previous arrangements were disrupted.
What puzzled him was, why were the Korean soldiers so weak?
King Lee Ao of Joseon was a very powerful person.
He has always presented himself as Emperor Taizong, why did he fight so poorly? This doesn't look like Emperor Taizong, more like an orthodox emperor!
"Your Majesty, North Korea may not be able to survive this year." Yang Xun expressed his opinion.
"If Pyongyang is lost, the entire northern precipitous terrain will be gone. What else can we use to defend it?" "It will be great if we can survive this year."
"North Korea will be destroyed by summer at most."
Zhu Qiyu originally expected that North Korea could hold off the Jurchens for a few years.
After North Korea and the Jurchens killed each other and consumed each other, Ming Dynasty went to take advantage.
Who knew North Korea was so good?
Even the Jurchens could not stop it within a year, and they were reduced to the point of annihilation of the country.
"Quickly, please invite the important ministers of the cabinet to enter the palace."
Zhu Qiyu stared at the map.
He was thinking, should he aid North Korea?
Soon, the courtiers entered the palace, kowtowed and saluted.
When they entered the palace, they had already heard the news that the North Korean envoy was staying at the Seyi Pavilion.
The North Korean envoy was very embarrassed. He disguised himself as a civilian and passed through the blockades to reach the Ming Dynasty.
Please ask Dad Ming to help North Korea and pacify foreign enemies.
"Gentlemen, Pyongyang, North Korea has been lost."
"what?"
The courtiers were all confused: "After going south from the Jurchen tribe, Pyongyang was lost in half a year?"
Zhu Qiyu nodded with a wry smile: "This is the news revealed by the North Korean envoy. I have ordered Honglu Temple to pay an audience to the envoy the day after. The specific situation will be known later."
"Your Majesty, Wu Liangha cannot be beaten!"
Yu Qian said seriously: "At the previous court meeting, the court officials believed that the Jurchen tribe's entry into North Korea was just for robbery."
"But I never expected that the Jurchen Ministry would stay in North Korea and never leave."
"The Jurchen tribe is really ambitious to use North Korea as a base to attack the Ming Dynasty."
"Alas, although North Korea is desolate, it is only for the Ming Dynasty."
"For the Jurchens, North Korea is a treasure land with everything."
"Moreover, North Korea's geographical environment threatens Liaoning. If Liaoning is not protected, the capital will be in danger."
"In the past, the kings of Korea were submissive and did not dare to attack the Ming Dynasty."
"But after the Jurchen tribe devours North Korea, it will definitely grow stronger, and its wolfish ambitions are clearly exposed."
"Wei Chen believes that we should immediately assist North Korea."
Yu Qian believed that it was necessary to use military strength and speed to aid North Korea and expel the Jurchens.
However, Yue Zheng held an objection: "If we assist North Korea now, all the calculations made by the country and North Korea will be in vain. It is better to wait for the letter from Cheng Xin and Luo Qi."
"We can't wait any longer, we must fight now."
Yu Qian believes that the growth of the Jurchen Department must be curbed.
In the past, the Jurchen tribe had always suffered from ringworm and scabies.
Because the Jurchens were barren and had no iron, they could not threaten the Ming Dynasty at all.
But the Jurchens who occupied North Korea were different.
North Korea has money, food, iron, salt, everything.
Because of its weak army, it has never been an enemy of the Central Plains Dynasty.
But in the hands of the Jurchens, these can be transformed into powerful combat effectiveness.
By then, a new powerful enemy will appear at the Eastern Gate of the Ming Dynasty.
It takes a lot of energy to clear it.
If the Jurchens become bigger and become a serious problem in Northeast China, it will be a big problem.
Yu Qian believes that aid to North Korea should be urgently needed.
Zhu Qiyu looked at Hu Mei.
Hu Xi cleared his throat: "Don't be anxious, Mr. Xing."
"We still don't know what the situation is in North Korea."
“We cannot just listen to the North Korean envoy’s words.”
"In recent years, North Korea has often cried poverty to the country, donated one or two so-called princesses, and reaped huge benefits from the Ming Dynasty."
"The veteran believes that the North Korean envoy must be exaggerating."
"It's better to wait for the letter from Cheng Xin and Luo Qi before making a decision."
Yu Qian objected: "Regardless of exaggeration or boasting, the Jurchen Ministry can plunder North Korea, but it can never occupy North Korea. This is not in the interests of the Ming Dynasty!"
Yi Ming also supported Yu Qian and believed that North Korea should be aided as soon as possible.
There are also Geng Jiuchou and Ma Wensheng who all support Yu Qian.
On Hu Hui's side, Yue Zheng, Bai Gui, Li Shi and others believed that we should wait a little longer. After all, North Korea was suffering from scabies and there was no need to launch a large-scale war.
Zhu Qiyu was also hesitant: "Xing Guogong, if we aid North Korea now, what will Ming Dynasty get?"
"Control the enemy within a weak range and you can annex it at any time!"
"Once the enemy becomes stronger, it will be difficult to annex it."
Yu Qian said seriously: "Your Majesty wanted to use the Jurchens, Wuliangha and North Korea to consume each other."
"The Ming Dynasty controlled the situation, defeated each one, and finally swallowed up the three parties and merged into the Ming Dynasty."
"But today, North Korea is vulnerable."
"The Jurchens and Uliangha will definitely use North Korea to strengthen themselves."
"When the time comes, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky if we want to annex it again."
Geng Jiuchou echoed: "Your Majesty, if China and North Korea assist North Korea, they can annex North Korea..."
"Absolutely not!"
Hu Hu said loudly: "If the ambition of the country is exposed, what will Annan do? What will Duosi and Wushen think?"
"There are also Turpan and Hami to the west, and Oara to the north. What will they think?"
"Although the Ming Dynasty is powerful now, it is also surrounded by enemies."
"We cannot give up our long-term national policy just because of the huge interests in front of us!"
"The current Ming Dynasty can only be the suzerain state!"
“You cannot imitate Dayuan!”
"Turn vassal states into territories!"
Hu Hui's words were approved by Li Shi.
Li Shi has been at home during this period and has just returned to the center.
"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty has never had any ambitions for desolate lands."
Li Shi said: "The Yongle Dynasty annexed Annan, but that is our homeland."
"Moreover, Annan had not yet been established at that time. Annan was established only after the imperial dynasty withdrew from Cochin, so it was not considered an enemy."
"But once the Ming Dynasty is short-sighted and annexes North Korea, everyone will be in danger."
"There will be chaos in the south and chaos in the west."
"The Koreans may not be willing to sincerely merge into the Ming Dynasty, and they will inevitably make the same mistake as Jiaozhi."
"There will be wars and smoke all around."
"I'm afraid North Korea will spit it out if it reaches your mouth."
"The gain is not worth the loss, Your Majesty!"
This is hard to say.
It seems to be scolding the emperor for being short-sighted.
Zhu Qiyu did not feel dissatisfied and nodded: "Li Qing's words make sense."
Looking at Sun Yuanzhen who said nothing, "Sun Qing, what do you think?"
"Go back to Your Majesty!"
Sun Yuanzhen said slowly: "I believe that the country cannot care about the life and death of North Korea, nor can it confront the Jurchen Ministry head-on."
This is a bit awkward.
They have already occupied North Korea. How can we recapture the city without confronting them head-on?
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the old minister's plan will harm the peace of heaven!" Sun Yuanzhen hesitated.
"Speak out first and let's discuss it." Zhu Qiyu became interested.
Sun Yuanzhen said: "May I ask Your Majesty, what is your attitude towards the people of Korea?"
"Those who are obedient can enter China, and those who are disobedient should be killed!"
Sun Yuanzhen said: "If Your Majesty wants to take in the people of North Korea, now is a God-given opportunity."
"The Korean War is in turmoil, and it is natural law for China to send troops to help Korea quell the chaos."
"Because North Korea is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, North Korean citizens are also citizens of the Ming Dynasty to be precise!"
"We sent troops to set up shelters on the south bank of the Yalu River to move North Korean people into Liaoning."
"The Jurchen tribe's takeover of North Korea is nothing more than providing people with food, salt and iron."
"But the core is people."
"If the people of Korea are conquered by the country and there are no people left, what is the use of the Jurchen tribe occupying many cities?"
"When the heavenly soldiers arrive, they will definitely flee!"
"But!"
"As a result, the entire North Korea north of Pyongyang will probably be thousands of miles away from people, which will really harm the peace of the world."
This is not a poisonous plan!
This is a clever plan!
Empty North Korea and strengthen yourself, what a brilliant plan!
Zhu Qiyu's eyes lit up: "Gentlemen, what is lacking in Rehe? What is lacking in Hetao? What is lacking in the entire north?"
"Lack of people!"
"Does it require labor to radically cure the Yellow River?"
"Do you need money or food for immigration filling?"
"Isn't it ready-made in North Korea?"
Zhu Qiyu immediately responded: "Just follow Sun Qing's idea!"
"what?"
The courtiers were dumbfounded.
I didn't listen to what Sun Yuanzhen said, this is harmful to Tianhe!
How many people will die if we take people from the south bank of the Yalu River and transport them back to China?
After northern Korea is cleared.
Will the King of North Korea ask China to return his people?
It's a good thing for you, you opened your mouth and hollowed out North Korea.
Besides, this is a strategy to carve up North Korea, which is inconsistent with the interests of the Ming Dynasty.
"Why do you, gentlemen, look at me like this? Do you think I am being merciful? Didn't you execute all the men? Only keep women and children?"
Zhu Qiyu asked.
Aren't you cruel enough?
"Your Majesty, this plan will harm Tianhe!" Sun Yuanzhen said with a bitter smile.
"What's wrong with Tianhe!"
Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to listen to this nonsense: "You are saving them, you are the great savior of North Korea!"
"Without you, those Koreans would be controlled by the Jurchen Ministry!"
"Do you know the Jurchen Ministry? They want to shave off their hair and change their clothes!"
"When the time comes, everyone will be comfortable dragging a dog's tail?"
"You saved thousands of people in North Korea!"
Zhu Qiyu said: "Just follow Sun Yuanzhen's method, and all the ministers will discuss it and fill in the plan!"
"If it succeeds, after I regain North Korea, I will pick a city in North Korea and name it after you, Sun Yuanzhen!"
Are you trying to make me infamous forever?
Sun Yuanzhen wanted to cry.
The courtiers also felt that the emperor had gone too far.
After all, North Korea has always been deferential. You are somewhat ashamed of being so deferential to North Korea.
"Your Majesty, I have a plan for your Majesty's reference." Ma Wen was promoted to the first sword of the imperial court and killed North Korea first.
"Say!"
Ma Wensheng said: "I think your Majesty should set up an immigration bureau."
"I have issued an imperial edict not to persecute the Korean people, and treat the Korean people as the same as the Chinese people."
“Then those who immigrated, men and women separately.”
"If the meritorious men who fought on the battlefield last year have not started a family or established a career, a Korean woman will be given to them to urge them to start a family and establish a career."
"And men, they flooded into Liaoning and Rehe."
"Choose a Chinese girl locally and marry her."
"After immigrating, we must not live together. We must spread out, live together with Han and Mongolian people, and marry each other. After a few generations, there will no longer be distinctions between Han and Han people."
"North Korea's clothing is the same as that of the Ming Dynasty."
"There is no need to make him change his clothes, which saves a lot of trouble."
"If appropriate, we will recruit some obedient people, fill them into the land of the two lakes, divide them into houses and areas, and enter the hinterland of the Central Plains. Naturally, they will be assimilated very quickly."
Ma Wensheng's words are intended to destroy North Korea.
In 30 years, there will be no more Koreans in the world, only Han people.
"Select a capable minister from the court to take charge of this matter."
"Under the Ministry of Rites, there is an immigration bureau."
"Take charge of this."
Zhu Qiyu accepted Ma Wensheng's opinion and selected candidates from close ministers.
Hu Hui recommended Zou Xun.
Zou Xun was compiled by the Hanlin Academy and was considered capable.
"allow!"
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "By annexing the people of North Korea, North Korea will no longer be a serious problem and can be annexed at any time."
"Even if the king of Korea knew what he was doing, he would write to the Ming Dynasty and beg the Ming Dynasty to merge Korea into the Celestial Dynasty."
"At that time, I will use the donkey under the slope to conquer North Korea."
Normally, let Koreans become Chinese people.
That is a gift.
North Koreans should not be ignorant.
"Your Majesty, one herdsman point is not enough. They must be set up along the route. The more the better."
"Go further south step by step, setting up as you go."
"Moreover, we need to obtain the consent of the King of Joseon, so that the King of Joseon can issue a royal edict and make his people cooperate."
"Wei Chen thought that the King of Joseon must have never imagined that the Ming Dynasty would take in the Korean people."
"By the time he regrets it, the rice has already been cooked."
"In addition, Duoduo supervised the construction of boat branches and ordered the boats to transport people into Liaoning and from Liaoning to Rehe."
Ma Wensheng said: "Anyway, we are leading a heavy army to rescue North Korea. Let's not attack the city first. Every time we arrive, we will take over a place and take a boat back to the country."
"Ma Wensheng, go back and make a list and hand it over to the Immigration Bureau."
Zhu Qiyu said: "Bai Gui, you should pay close attention to this matter. Immigration is a top priority and must not be neglected."
"I obey the decree!" Ma Wensheng and Bai Gui kowtowed.
Zhu Qiyu looked at Yu Qian: "Xing Guogong, who can lead the troops to rescue North Korea?"
Yu Qian smiled wryly.
What I mean is that you save North Korea from danger, not that you take the opportunity to annex them!
What is the difference between your doing this and the Jurchen Ministry?
This is dividing Korea.
The Jurchen Ministry wants money, food, salt, iron and people, so just ask for them directly.
Fortunately, the emperor helped North Korea expel the Jurchens.
When the heavenly soldiers arrive in North Korea, there is no telling how many members of the Jurchen tribe will be able to return alive.
"Your Majesty, the situation in North Korea is complicated."
"And we have to accept the people."
"We need someone who is capable of civil and military skills to take charge of the army." Yu Qian said.
You definitely can't use a strong general, not someone like Mao Zhong.
The rescue of North Korea is mainly political and supplementary by military.
"Civil officials are also welcome, just recommend talents."
Zhu Qiyu felt that Yu Qian was right.
"Your Majesty, there is indeed such a great talent in the court, I'm just afraid that you won't be able to let him go." Yu Qian joked instead.
Zhu Qiyu immediately thought of who it was.
"Dong Guo Xing, Duke Guo Xing, you are really good at scheming."
Yu Qian stroked his beard and smiled.
His choice is Wang Yue!
Wang Yue was a favored minister of the emperor, and he also allowed civil and military officials. The key was that after this man became lame, his temperament became extreme and he hardly cared about his reputation.
Such people are the most suitable to do this.
However, after doing this, Wang Yue was destined to be knighted, making it difficult for him to serve as prime minister.
The civil and military divisions were divided, and Jingwei was clearly defined.
This is Zhu Qiyu's purpose.
"Is there anyone else?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Fu, Cao Yi, or Renli are all welcome."
Mao Zhong will definitely die.
Mao Zhong was a fierce general, but he was not politically sensitive enough and could easily get things wrong.
As for Ren Li, he was in poor health and needed to rest in the capital, and Zhu Qiyu also needed him to guard the capital.
"If Wang Yue is sent there and a veteran is sent to assist him, I'm afraid the veteran will be conflicted."
Zhu Qiyu almost settled on Wang Yue.
"Now there is no war in Xuanzhen, but there is a large amount of civil and military accumulation."
"Try Li Kan and Jiang Wan to return to Beijing."
"The decree is passed, and Wang Yue is appointed as the chief military officer to aid the dynasty, with an official seal and a flag ordered by the king;"
"Jiang Wan and Li Kan are appointed deputy generals;"
"Yang Shouchen is the counselor of military affairs;"
"Qin Cheng was appointed as the eunuch of Zhenfu;"
"Add Zhou Xian, Zhou Yu and his son to the court again."
Zhu Qiyu gave Zhou Xian and Zhou Yu a chance.
Since there are talents for famous generals, they must be given opportunities to focus on cultivating them.
"As for how many troops will be sent?"
Zhu Qiyu hesitated instead. If he sent more troops, the capital would be empty. If he sent fewer troops, he might not be able to achieve full success in North Korea.
"Your Majesty, 3 people are enough!"
Yu Qian said seriously: "This battle is only to compress the space of the Jurchen Department, not to eliminate the Jurchens."
"As long as the Jurchen tribe can be defeated step by step, that's it."
"After entering North Korea, Wang Yue can help North Korea train a strong army and use North Korean soldiers in exchange for the heads of Jurchens."
"It's best to use all cavalry. They can come and go like the wind and preserve your strength to the greatest extent."
Yu Qian was using the Koreans to consume the Jurchens on the battlefield.
To achieve the purpose of benefiting Ming Dynasty.
"Is thirty thousand a little too little?" Li Shi frowned.
"It's not just that we don't have many soldiers. What's more, if there are too many soldiers, transporting food and grass will also be a problem." Yu Qian said.
That's right, to help North Korea fight the war, you have to transport food and grass from Daming.
North Korea is barren and has no hair.
"Let's settle on [-]."
Zhu Qiyu just wanted to mobilize troops from Liaoning.
But then I thought about it, the Liaoning soldiers had to be used to pacify Wu Liangha, but they couldn't be used for the time being.
As for the soldiers from the original Beijing camp, some of them were in Liaoning and some were in Rehe, following Yu Qian in wiping out the Tatar soldiers.
"Where did the soldiers come from?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
He didn't want to use the capital's troops.
The soldiers in the capital are related to his safety and cannot be moved for the time being.
"Your Majesty, you can transfer from Rehe and Liaoning, and then transfer a group from Henan and Shandong to make up 3 people."
Yu Qian did not intend to use the troops in the capital camp.
"I'm afraid Shandong and Henan won't be able to mobilize many troops." Hu Hu did not explain clearly, because both places were plowing areas and needed soldiers.
Guangxi wolf soldiers cannot be used. Guangxi wolf soldiers cannot fight in field battles, especially in cavalry battles.
If you go, you will die.
In the Korean War, cavalry was mostly used.
"We can transfer a group of people from Hetao." Yi Ming suggested.
Geng Jiuchou thought it was not possible: "Ningxia Xinding is exactly when a large army is needed and cannot be transferred away."
"Deploy troops from Shanxi."
After Zhu Qiyu decided, he would try to get [-] from Shanxi, Henan, Shandong, Rehe, and Liaoning. If it was not enough, he would be transferred from the capital.
"Since we're talking about war, let's just talk about it all."
Zhu Qiyu said: "The Jurchen tribe will definitely go out in full force to conquer North Korea."
"What I mean is to send another partial force to attack Huanglong and cut off the Jurchens' retreat."
"At the same time, the plan to conquer Ulyanha remains unchanged."
Send troops in three directions?
The courtiers were stunned.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to rush into a war. Why send out troops in three directions at once?" Li Shi smiled bitterly and had to eat the food one bite at a time.
Yu Qian said: "Your Majesty's intention is not bad."
Li Shi was not polite to Qian: "Xing Guogong, do you want to ruin the great situation of Ming Dynasty?"
"Censor Zuodu, please be patient and listen to what I have to say."
Yu Qian said: "The main purpose of traveling to North Korea is to immigrate, not to fight."
"And blocking the Jurchen rear will also disturb the morale of the army. At most, one partial division will be enough."
"Neither of these two groups is the main force, so there is no need to fight a tough battle."
"The real battle is still with Wu Liangha."
"Furthermore, His Majesty also said that annexing Wu Liangha is not a day's work. Our goal is to weaken Wu Liangha."
"Firstly, it is to gain an advantage and show strength; secondly, it is also to train troops."
"Eat your food in one bite and take your time."
"We have soldiers, horses and food, so it would be good to train our troops with Wu Liangha."
Yu Qian's words can be said into Zhu Qiyu's heart.
Soldiers must practice regularly, and it is best to fight every day.
"Then send out troops in four directions!" Zhu Qiyu said.
Why add one more road?
How much money is wasted!
The courtiers wanted to persuade again.
After having a baby, I always get sick. I seem to be sick again today. My head hurts. I slept all day and it hurts all day. I took medicine at night. I went out for two meals on November and got sick twice. I was drunk!In the past, the author only got sick once a year, but this year he gets sick every month!
(End of this chapter)
In the embroidery building, the maids huddled together, surrounding two women with their hair tied up in buns, and a girl.
Chen Wuyang entered with fierce eyes.
"Your father is plotting a rebellion, do you know?"
But these women have earth-colored faces.
But the little girl walked out of the crowd and pointed at Chen Wuyang: "Without the Holy Spirit's decree, how dare you accuse my father of treason?"
Chen Wuyang's purpose was to scare these women.
Force Mrs. Yang to hand over the evidence.
But who would have known that Yang Xuan's nine-year-old daughter would turn out to be a powerful character.
Yang Xuan hid a fake account book in her bedroom just to play tricks on the factory guards.
Chen Wuyang had a fierce look on his face: "You are a bitch with a sharp mouth. I am in need of a concubine, so I will be merciful and accept you!"
"To shut up!"
The little Yang shouted sharply: "I think the one who rebelled was not my father, but you!"
"The Holy One has decreed that the daughter of a hundred officials should enter the palace and serve for three years. I am still young, so I have to enter the palace and serve before I can accept this person! This is a minister's way of repaying the emperor's favor!"
"My father is bent on repaying the emperor's favor, so how can he be plotting rebellion?"
"On the contrary, it was you who broke into the Yin family's house in Zhengsanpin Mansion, made rude remarks to his daughter and family members, and prevented me from entering the palace to serve!"
"Disrespectful to officials and disloyal to His Majesty!"
"You are the one who conspired against me!"
Xiao Yang shouted sharply.
The two sisters-in-law behind her kept tugging at her clothes, telling her to stop talking.
If you don't see that people have weapons, say a few words and you won't be able to choke them to death.
Mrs. Yang happened to come in and secretly cheered when she heard the young girl's words. I really didn't expect that this little concubine could be so knowledgeable?
The Yang family's crisis must be resolved by her.
Chen Wuyang was speechless and was stopped by a nine-year-old girl.
He really wanted to fool around, but the problem was that he was in his 30s, how could he fool around with a nine-year-old girl?How to play?
Fortunately, Fan Qing came in, bowed to Xiao Yang and said, "Young Master taught me a lesson."
"But there was a thief in your mansion, and your father, Mr. Yang, was injured and fainted."
"I am the commander of Dongchang. I am just helping your house catch the thieves who have entered the house. Please be patient, young lady."
Xiao Yang looked at Chen Wuyang.
Fan Qing smiled bitterly: "This person was stimulated and suffered from aphansia. His brain is not normal. Please don't blame him."
Chen Wuyang was about to argue, but Fan Qing glared at him.
As long as the central government does not issue an imperial edict, Yang Xuan will be the Yin of the Third Grade Yingtian Mansion!
It's a felony for you to beat him, and it's an even greater felony for you to break into his home!
I'm saving you!
"Hehehe!" Chen Wuyang giggled and immediately pretended to be stupid.
"You really look like a fool."
Little Yang was smarter and did not expose Chen Wuyang's pretense of stupidity.
Instead, he bowed to Fan Qing and said, "Thank you, Commander, for helping the little girl catch the thief in her home, but please do as you please."
Mrs. Yang winked at her, her family was avoiding Dongchang, why did you recruit her from home?
Fan Qing gave her a high look. This young lady's future is limitless. When she comes to serve in the palace, if she is valued by His Majesty...
I am afraid that I will be liquidated for forcing my way into the Yang Mansion today.
The sharp light in his eyes flashed away.
Little Yang seemed to have sensed Fan Qing's murderous intention, and bowed: "Filial piety is the most important thing, Your Majesty, please allow me to allow this little girl to serve her father's medicine."
What a smart girl!
It will be great in the future.
Fan Qing also bowed: "Young lady, you are well-educated and sensible. Please forgive me if there are any inconsiderations."
Little Yang nodded with a smile, only to reveal two missing teeth!
Fan Qing didn't feel funny at all, but felt scared.
A nine-year-old girl is so smart. How evil will she be when she is 19 years old?
"Please don't blame me, young lady."
Fan Qing bowed deeply and pulled Chen Wuyang out of the embroidery building.
"Why didn't you check it?" Chen Wuyang was not as thoughtful as Fan Qing.
"This woman is extraordinary. The cause today will have the consequences tomorrow." Fan Qing seemed to have predicted her own ending.
"What do you mean?"
Chen Wuyang didn't understand it at all.
Fan Qing was too lazy to explain: "Brother Chen, this matter ends here."
"Are you afraid?"
Chen Wuyang threw him away: "The matter has reached this point, but you are backing down?"
"Do you think that if you withdraw now and Yang Xuan wakes up, you can be let go?"
"Now, either we find evidence of Yang Xuan, or Yang Xuan kills us!"
"You choose!"
If Fan Qing doesn't investigate, I, Chen Wuyang, will investigate!
Chen Wuyang walked towards the study angrily, but suddenly there was a noise from the direction of the wing, and he turned around suddenly: "Who's there!"
He walked towards the side room.
At the door of the wing, there was a pile of firewood that had not been removed in time.
Chen Wuyang took out his knife and wanted to prick the firewood once. After making sure that no one was hiding behind the firewood, he pushed open the side room and glanced around. There was no one in the side room.
"Did you hear the sound?" Chen Wuyang asked Fanzi.
They all shook their heads and said they didn't hear it.
Is it hallucinations?
When Chen Wuyang turned around, he saw a black clothes corner on the side of the firewood pile, and then quickly withdrew it.
The thief is there!
Sure enough, it came from him.
"It seems that I heard wrongly. Go to the study."
Chen Wuyang remained calm and exited the wing with Fanzi.
At the same time, he gave the fans a wink.
It was immediately clear that they were all thieves.
Suddenly he turned around and slashed at the side of the firewood pile. Fanzi quickly rushed over and directly controlled the thief.
"It's you?"
Chen Wuyang was shocked. This thief was the boy who sold lanterns that day.
"Is that you?" The boy selling lanterns also recognized Chen Wuyang.
"Sir, do you know each other?" Fanzi asked in surprise.
"Catch it first."
The thief was found, and Chen Wuyang went into Yang Xuan's study to rummage around.
Found another hidden compartment.
The secret room is also a ledger, with banknotes in it.
I thought I found a clue.
But I remember that the account books were all the daily expenses of the Yang family, and the banknotes were all of small denominations, 100 taels, 100 taels, and some were gifts from the palace.
"You stupid Yang Xuan, you are playing tricks on me!"
Chen Wuyang lost his account book and banknotes.
The bamboo basket was empty.
The purpose was also revealed.
Yang Xuan is really smart. Nothing she hides is a secret, so where will the secret be hidden?
After Fan Qing entered the study, he stared at a painting in trance.
"There is nothing. I have checked this painting and the back of the painting. There is nothing. Moreover, this painting is not valuable."
Chen Wuyang said impatiently.
Fan Qing looked at the painting with great interest: "Don't you think this painting is familiar?"
This is a picture of bamboo, all of which are emerald green bamboos.
"This kind of painting can be seen everywhere on the street, and any painter can paint it." Chen Wuyang said.
"Do not."
Fan Qing said: "There is one in the bedroom, one in the embroidery building, plus this one of plum, bamboo and orchid, there are three paintings, but the painting of chrysanthemum is missing."
After being reminded by Fan Qing, Chen Wuyang said: "Ju is in the wing, I saw it just now."
"Get them all!"
Fan Qing asked people to fetch all four paintings.
Take away the scroll and the mounting paper, leaving only a thin piece of paper. The four paintings are overlapped and looked at the sun.
"Here's another picture!"
Chen Wuyang exclaimed.
The fans all came to look at it in surprise. When the four paintings were put together, a different scene appeared in the four paintings. It was another painting.
Picture in picture!
"This seems to be on the sea, and the big boat doesn't look like a boat in the river..." Chen Wuyang didn't know how to paint.
Fan Qing was somewhat involved, but he didn't dare to say accurately: "This should be Zheng He's voyages to the West."
Because the four pictures are put together, the details become very blurred and only an outline is visible.
There is no master of painting in Fanzi.
Not entirely sure.
"What does this picture mean? A ship? What does it mean?"
Fan Qing frowned.
Being able to hide this painting so deeply just shows that this painting is very important.
But what to express?
Fan Qing had to consult a master of painting, who restored the painting to its original state, rolled it up on a scroll, and took it all away.
Mrs. Yang saw Fan Qing taking away the scroll and said nothing.
And in the palace.
The Chuanlu Ceremony is being held.
Zhu Qiyu selected Wang Yikui as the top pick, Qi Shun as the second pick, and Bai Ang as the third overall pick.
The process is over.
The cabinet comes up with a list.
Above are the place names.
This year's Jinshi, after three months of training in the capital, all went to local areas for training.
Most of them are in the provinces of Gansu, Ningxia, Rehe, Guangxi and Guangdong.
Each Jinshi was given a piece of paper to write down where they wanted to go, and then put it in the box.
The final result is drawn up by the center.
What seems like a choice is actually a test of the mind.
Let’s see who really wants to go somewhere for experience, and who is greedy for glory and wants to go to a good place to enjoy happiness.
They went to Wenhua Hall to make their choice.
In the Fengtian Hall, Zhu Qiyu said: "Next year, I won't be granted the imperial examination. The imperial examination in the 11th year of Jingtai will be held as normal."
"In Jingtai's 12th year, Enke will be given again, to those who go to the frontiers for training. Only then will they be eligible to participate in Jingtai's 12th year of Enke."
This was promised before.
This year is the ninth year of Jingtai.
According to what Hu Hui said, the more talents the better, but the emphasis should be on cultivating them, giving them a stage to display their talents, giving them the opportunity to make mistakes, and slowly cultivating them.
It takes ten years to cultivate a prefect's talent.
It takes 20 years to recruit the talent of a provincial governor.
It takes 30 years to recruit talents into the center.
Therefore, Zhu Qiyu does not intend to cut off Enke, but leaves enough space to give talents space to develop and compete in a healthy way.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Hu Hui took the lead and knelt down and said: "Now that spring is warm and flowers are blooming, it is the spring plowing season in Gyeonggi."
"As for the saplings brought from the south, I thought they could be distributed."
"Planting trees is a big deal, just follow the old lady's advice."
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "According to statistics, more than [-] people starved to death in the capital, and this is included in the statistics."
"How many people have starved to death on the roadside, becoming a withered skeleton and no one cares about them?"
"My guess is that 10 people in Gyeonggi Province may starve to death!"
"It's pitiful that I, the emperor, can't do anything about it."
"This winter, no matter what, I finally got through it!"
"In the ninth year of Jingtai, I don't want anyone to starve to death again!"
Zhu Qiyu said seriously: "The framework of the Agriculture Department has just been established. Xue Xilian, you will be the first chief officer and the left minister of the Ministry of Rites."
The lack of a right minister shows that the emperor attaches great importance to the Department of Agriculture.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Agriculture is the foundation of all industries, and using an important minister like Xue Xilian as the first chief officer of the Department of Agriculture is the greatest priority.
Moreover, he himself knows agriculture.
We also discussed some agricultural matters, especially the compilation of agricultural books.
Agriculture in the Ming Dynasty has stalled.
The Yuan Dynasty burned many agricultural books from the Song Dynasty. By the Ming Dynasty, less than one-third of them had been preserved.
Therefore, many details need to be re-summarized and compiled.
Later, the Tatar Qing Dynasty burned books for hundreds of years, which completely broke the roots of the Han people.
Hu Xi changed the topic: "Your Majesty, the veteran has been in low spirits recently and has difficulty in handling important affairs of the staff."
"So I would like to ask Your Majesty to appoint another capable minister to help the veteran minister share the burden."
He wants to transfer Li Xian to the center.
Once he leaves first, Li Xian can take over from him and become the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "Old Master, I also want to transfer capable ministers. The problem is that the capable ministers are all in the same place and will not be transferred back within three years."
"Look at the cabinet department and see who can be the left minister of the official department."
"If you like it, I will promote him."
Zhu Qiyu pretended not to understand.
Li Xian, he does not intend to reuse him.
This person is difficult to control and cannot tell whether he is an enemy or a friend, so he cannot be used for the time being.
"Your Majesty, there is no war in Liaoning now. The old minister wants to transfer Li Xian, the governor of Liaoning, to the capital to serve as the left minister." Hu Ming was straightforward.
"Old Master, who said there is no war in Liaoning?"
Zhu Qiyu continued to act stupid: "It's spring now. In May and June, I will dispatch soldiers to recapture Nuergandusi."
"I'm worried about Li Xian not being in Liaoning."
Zhu Qiyu did not give Hu Xi a chance to speak, and directly changed the topic to war: "Xing Guogong, we are attacking Wuliangha. Who do you think can be the chief military officer."
His original intention was to transfer Yu Qian out of Beijing.
But now the plowing of Jiangxi has been put on hold, and the capital is not safe. Yu Qian must sit in the capital so that he can sleep peacefully.
"Your Majesty, you were still concerned about money and food just now."
"Why are you talking about fighting?"
Yu Qian smiled bitterly: "The Wuliangha live in very scattered places, so it is difficult to win a battle."
"Weichen estimates that it will take at least three to five years to plow Wuliangha down."
"So, it's a long war."
"We need a huge amount of food supplies, and Wei Chen feels that this year is not a good opportunity to fight this battle."
He was against war.
The good opportunity to attack Ulyanha should be when the construction of Rehe is completed and peace is restored in Liaoning. This is the good opportunity to send troops northward.
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "What I don't know is that the first batch of grain from Annan has been shipped to Guangxi, so food is not a problem this year."
"what?"
The courtiers exclaimed, Annan really transported grain to the Ming Dynasty?
"Xia Xun's secret memorial arrived first, and the official memorial will arrive in just a few days."
Zhu Qiyu stood up and said in an excited tone: "I have said that Sanxuan and Liuwei are treasures, and most of them are food. It's time for me to pick the fruits of the trees planted by Emperor Taizong!"
"Your Majesty, how many ships are there for the first batch of grain?" Yu Qian asked anxiously.
"84 ships, Annan should be asking for directions."
Zhu Qiyu said calmly: "He wants to test Ming Dynasty and see what Ming Dynasty's attitude is."
"Let's give him a chance and let Annan see Daming's attitude."
"I have given a secret order to let Fang Ying deploy one hundred thousand troops at the border between the two countries. Then he will open the market, with a big stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other. Let's see what King Annan chooses."
Hu Xi wanted to persuade.
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Annan is a trivial matter and cannot be fought. Fang Ying has her own sense of discretion. I will also order merchants to trade in Annan."
"You have to scare people, and you can't fight a war."
"Fang Ying, Xia Xun, Zhu Yong, etc. are enough to handle it."
"Talking back to the north."
"If all these grains are shipped to Liaoning."
"Xing Guogong, can we fight this battle?"
Yu Qian bowed to the ground and said: "If there is enough food, I think we can have a few small battles."
"The remaining power of wiping out the Tatars has not been exhausted, so Wu Liangha should not dare to confront the Ming Dynasty head-on."
"Let's just treat this battle as a training exercise."
Yu Qian's words aroused the approval of the courtiers.
It’s okay to have a little fight.
You can't rashly annex other people's territory, biting off more than you can chew, just digest the results bit by bit.
"Who can serve as the chief military officer?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Wei Chen has several candidates for your Majesty's reference."
Yu Qian said seriously: "Wei Chen feels that the No. 1 choice is Zhao Fu. Zhao Fu fights steadily. Although he has no clever tricks, he will not be defeated;"
"The second is Mao Zhong. Mao Zhong is a brave general who can defeat powerful enemies."
"The third is Cao Yi. Cao Yi has guarded Liaodong for many years and is very familiar with Liaodong. It is appropriate to send him to pacify Wuliangha."
He recommended all veterans.
"Xing Guogong's words, the old man will seek the country."
Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied: "Does anyone else have suitable candidates?"
The courtiers all felt that Yu Qian was a good candidate.
Veteran out, one top two.
All are safe.
Let’s not talk about the outcome of the battle, there will definitely be nothing wrong.
Zhu Qiyu still had to think about it, and asked everyone to go to the palace and ask questions one by one.
The court meeting is temporarily over.
"Xuan Maozhong and Cao Yi enter the palace."
Entering the Yangxin Hall, Zhu Qiyu moved around for a while, had some snacks, and began to deal with government affairs.
Soon, two people came from the martial arts hall.
Zhao Fu is still in Xuanzhen.
"Give a seat."
Zhu Qiyu told the story of the court meeting.
Surprise flashed in the eyes of Mao Zhong and Cao Yi, and they kowtowed quickly to ask for their orders.
"I ask you, how many people are needed? How many results can be achieved?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Your Majesty, we only need 2 ministers! We can drive out Wuliangha for [-] miles!" Mao Zhong was the first to say.
Cao Yi could be said to have suffered repeated defeats. He smiled bitterly and said: "We need a hundred thousand troops for a small minister."
Mao Zhong gave him a provocative look.
When it comes to fighting, it still depends on our success.
"Where are the battle losses?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.
Mao Zhong didn't answer.
Cao Yi said, "Wei Chen can ensure that the battle damage is controlled to a very small level."
"Your Majesty, [-] elite soldiers will consume very little money and food."
"Besides, if you run out of troops, you can raise them again."
"Why should we care about the lives of those weak people?"
Mao Zhong found it difficult to understand.
As long as we win the battle, why do we think so much?
Therefore, Mao Zhong was a general, not a handsome man. He fought regardless of the consequences and did not have the qualifications to be a famous general.
Let Mao Zhong lead the troops. The results will be great, but the losses will also be great.
Post-war pensions are all issued by the central government!
People have died so many times, how many years will it take for them to return to life?
Zhu Qiyu immediately ruled out Mao Zhong.
Cao Yi used too many troops, and he was too old. The battle was very hard, and he might not be able to sustain it.
"Everyone, go down and teach in the martial arts hall. You will have days to fight on the battlefield."
Mao Zhong thought that the emperor had appointed him, and he was very proud.
However, Cao Yi saw through the emperor's thoughts, and the emperor did not intend to use them anymore.
Zhu Qiyu wrote a letter to Zhao Fu.
Examination of the school examination Zhao Fu's views.
"With an army of [-], how many civilians need to be recruited to transport them?"
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "If you don't care about the consequences, it's best to use Mao Zhong. With 2 people, it doesn't matter if you die in a foreign country."
After Wang Yue and Jiang Wan got married.
Jiang Wan wanted to be transferred out of Xuanzhen to participate in the Northern Expedition.
In terms of civil servants, Zhu Qiyu felt that Zhang Gu and Yue Zheng were more suitable. Zhang Gu knew military skills, and Yue Zheng's status was high enough to suppress military generals, and he would not overstep his authority.
The eunuch can use Hua En. Hua En is like a fish in water in the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion. He can learn from all over the place, which can give him some experience.
"My lord, something has happened!"
Fu Yuan hurried over: "You Shaoqing of Honglu Temple came to the palace and said that North Korea sent an envoy to ask for help. North Korea's Pyongyang has been lost, and soldiers are threatening Seoul! The capital city will be lost at any time!"
"what?"
Zhu Qiyu's expression changed slightly: "Where is the map?"
Feng Xiao quickly went to get the map.
As soon as I opened the map, Yang Xun, the Right Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, arrived.
The former minister Qi Zheng was transferred to the Military Discipline Department, and the current minister Bian Yongze went to Annan as envoy.
"Your Majesty, according to the information revealed by the North Korean envoy, the Jurchen tribe has occupied Pyongyang and has no plans to leave."
Zhu Qiyu pointed at Pyongyang: "Pyongyang is lost, there is no danger to defend in the south, and North Korea is going to perish!"
All the previous arrangements were disrupted.
What puzzled him was, why were the Korean soldiers so weak?
King Lee Ao of Joseon was a very powerful person.
He has always presented himself as Emperor Taizong, why did he fight so poorly? This doesn't look like Emperor Taizong, more like an orthodox emperor!
"Your Majesty, North Korea may not be able to survive this year." Yang Xun expressed his opinion.
"If Pyongyang is lost, the entire northern precipitous terrain will be gone. What else can we use to defend it?" "It will be great if we can survive this year."
"North Korea will be destroyed by summer at most."
Zhu Qiyu originally expected that North Korea could hold off the Jurchens for a few years.
After North Korea and the Jurchens killed each other and consumed each other, Ming Dynasty went to take advantage.
Who knew North Korea was so good?
Even the Jurchens could not stop it within a year, and they were reduced to the point of annihilation of the country.
"Quickly, please invite the important ministers of the cabinet to enter the palace."
Zhu Qiyu stared at the map.
He was thinking, should he aid North Korea?
Soon, the courtiers entered the palace, kowtowed and saluted.
When they entered the palace, they had already heard the news that the North Korean envoy was staying at the Seyi Pavilion.
The North Korean envoy was very embarrassed. He disguised himself as a civilian and passed through the blockades to reach the Ming Dynasty.
Please ask Dad Ming to help North Korea and pacify foreign enemies.
"Gentlemen, Pyongyang, North Korea has been lost."
"what?"
The courtiers were all confused: "After going south from the Jurchen tribe, Pyongyang was lost in half a year?"
Zhu Qiyu nodded with a wry smile: "This is the news revealed by the North Korean envoy. I have ordered Honglu Temple to pay an audience to the envoy the day after. The specific situation will be known later."
"Your Majesty, Wu Liangha cannot be beaten!"
Yu Qian said seriously: "At the previous court meeting, the court officials believed that the Jurchen tribe's entry into North Korea was just for robbery."
"But I never expected that the Jurchen Ministry would stay in North Korea and never leave."
"The Jurchen tribe is really ambitious to use North Korea as a base to attack the Ming Dynasty."
"Alas, although North Korea is desolate, it is only for the Ming Dynasty."
"For the Jurchens, North Korea is a treasure land with everything."
"Moreover, North Korea's geographical environment threatens Liaoning. If Liaoning is not protected, the capital will be in danger."
"In the past, the kings of Korea were submissive and did not dare to attack the Ming Dynasty."
"But after the Jurchen tribe devours North Korea, it will definitely grow stronger, and its wolfish ambitions are clearly exposed."
"Wei Chen believes that we should immediately assist North Korea."
Yu Qian believed that it was necessary to use military strength and speed to aid North Korea and expel the Jurchens.
However, Yue Zheng held an objection: "If we assist North Korea now, all the calculations made by the country and North Korea will be in vain. It is better to wait for the letter from Cheng Xin and Luo Qi."
"We can't wait any longer, we must fight now."
Yu Qian believes that the growth of the Jurchen Department must be curbed.
In the past, the Jurchen tribe had always suffered from ringworm and scabies.
Because the Jurchens were barren and had no iron, they could not threaten the Ming Dynasty at all.
But the Jurchens who occupied North Korea were different.
North Korea has money, food, iron, salt, everything.
Because of its weak army, it has never been an enemy of the Central Plains Dynasty.
But in the hands of the Jurchens, these can be transformed into powerful combat effectiveness.
By then, a new powerful enemy will appear at the Eastern Gate of the Ming Dynasty.
It takes a lot of energy to clear it.
If the Jurchens become bigger and become a serious problem in Northeast China, it will be a big problem.
Yu Qian believes that aid to North Korea should be urgently needed.
Zhu Qiyu looked at Hu Mei.
Hu Xi cleared his throat: "Don't be anxious, Mr. Xing."
"We still don't know what the situation is in North Korea."
“We cannot just listen to the North Korean envoy’s words.”
"In recent years, North Korea has often cried poverty to the country, donated one or two so-called princesses, and reaped huge benefits from the Ming Dynasty."
"The veteran believes that the North Korean envoy must be exaggerating."
"It's better to wait for the letter from Cheng Xin and Luo Qi before making a decision."
Yu Qian objected: "Regardless of exaggeration or boasting, the Jurchen Ministry can plunder North Korea, but it can never occupy North Korea. This is not in the interests of the Ming Dynasty!"
Yi Ming also supported Yu Qian and believed that North Korea should be aided as soon as possible.
There are also Geng Jiuchou and Ma Wensheng who all support Yu Qian.
On Hu Hui's side, Yue Zheng, Bai Gui, Li Shi and others believed that we should wait a little longer. After all, North Korea was suffering from scabies and there was no need to launch a large-scale war.
Zhu Qiyu was also hesitant: "Xing Guogong, if we aid North Korea now, what will Ming Dynasty get?"
"Control the enemy within a weak range and you can annex it at any time!"
"Once the enemy becomes stronger, it will be difficult to annex it."
Yu Qian said seriously: "Your Majesty wanted to use the Jurchens, Wuliangha and North Korea to consume each other."
"The Ming Dynasty controlled the situation, defeated each one, and finally swallowed up the three parties and merged into the Ming Dynasty."
"But today, North Korea is vulnerable."
"The Jurchens and Uliangha will definitely use North Korea to strengthen themselves."
"When the time comes, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky if we want to annex it again."
Geng Jiuchou echoed: "Your Majesty, if China and North Korea assist North Korea, they can annex North Korea..."
"Absolutely not!"
Hu Hu said loudly: "If the ambition of the country is exposed, what will Annan do? What will Duosi and Wushen think?"
"There are also Turpan and Hami to the west, and Oara to the north. What will they think?"
"Although the Ming Dynasty is powerful now, it is also surrounded by enemies."
"We cannot give up our long-term national policy just because of the huge interests in front of us!"
"The current Ming Dynasty can only be the suzerain state!"
“You cannot imitate Dayuan!”
"Turn vassal states into territories!"
Hu Hui's words were approved by Li Shi.
Li Shi has been at home during this period and has just returned to the center.
"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty has never had any ambitions for desolate lands."
Li Shi said: "The Yongle Dynasty annexed Annan, but that is our homeland."
"Moreover, Annan had not yet been established at that time. Annan was established only after the imperial dynasty withdrew from Cochin, so it was not considered an enemy."
"But once the Ming Dynasty is short-sighted and annexes North Korea, everyone will be in danger."
"There will be chaos in the south and chaos in the west."
"The Koreans may not be willing to sincerely merge into the Ming Dynasty, and they will inevitably make the same mistake as Jiaozhi."
"There will be wars and smoke all around."
"I'm afraid North Korea will spit it out if it reaches your mouth."
"The gain is not worth the loss, Your Majesty!"
This is hard to say.
It seems to be scolding the emperor for being short-sighted.
Zhu Qiyu did not feel dissatisfied and nodded: "Li Qing's words make sense."
Looking at Sun Yuanzhen who said nothing, "Sun Qing, what do you think?"
"Go back to Your Majesty!"
Sun Yuanzhen said slowly: "I believe that the country cannot care about the life and death of North Korea, nor can it confront the Jurchen Ministry head-on."
This is a bit awkward.
They have already occupied North Korea. How can we recapture the city without confronting them head-on?
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the old minister's plan will harm the peace of heaven!" Sun Yuanzhen hesitated.
"Speak out first and let's discuss it." Zhu Qiyu became interested.
Sun Yuanzhen said: "May I ask Your Majesty, what is your attitude towards the people of Korea?"
"Those who are obedient can enter China, and those who are disobedient should be killed!"
Sun Yuanzhen said: "If Your Majesty wants to take in the people of North Korea, now is a God-given opportunity."
"The Korean War is in turmoil, and it is natural law for China to send troops to help Korea quell the chaos."
"Because North Korea is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, North Korean citizens are also citizens of the Ming Dynasty to be precise!"
"We sent troops to set up shelters on the south bank of the Yalu River to move North Korean people into Liaoning."
"The Jurchen tribe's takeover of North Korea is nothing more than providing people with food, salt and iron."
"But the core is people."
"If the people of Korea are conquered by the country and there are no people left, what is the use of the Jurchen tribe occupying many cities?"
"When the heavenly soldiers arrive, they will definitely flee!"
"But!"
"As a result, the entire North Korea north of Pyongyang will probably be thousands of miles away from people, which will really harm the peace of the world."
This is not a poisonous plan!
This is a clever plan!
Empty North Korea and strengthen yourself, what a brilliant plan!
Zhu Qiyu's eyes lit up: "Gentlemen, what is lacking in Rehe? What is lacking in Hetao? What is lacking in the entire north?"
"Lack of people!"
"Does it require labor to radically cure the Yellow River?"
"Do you need money or food for immigration filling?"
"Isn't it ready-made in North Korea?"
Zhu Qiyu immediately responded: "Just follow Sun Qing's idea!"
"what?"
The courtiers were dumbfounded.
I didn't listen to what Sun Yuanzhen said, this is harmful to Tianhe!
How many people will die if we take people from the south bank of the Yalu River and transport them back to China?
After northern Korea is cleared.
Will the King of North Korea ask China to return his people?
It's a good thing for you, you opened your mouth and hollowed out North Korea.
Besides, this is a strategy to carve up North Korea, which is inconsistent with the interests of the Ming Dynasty.
"Why do you, gentlemen, look at me like this? Do you think I am being merciful? Didn't you execute all the men? Only keep women and children?"
Zhu Qiyu asked.
Aren't you cruel enough?
"Your Majesty, this plan will harm Tianhe!" Sun Yuanzhen said with a bitter smile.
"What's wrong with Tianhe!"
Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to listen to this nonsense: "You are saving them, you are the great savior of North Korea!"
"Without you, those Koreans would be controlled by the Jurchen Ministry!"
"Do you know the Jurchen Ministry? They want to shave off their hair and change their clothes!"
"When the time comes, everyone will be comfortable dragging a dog's tail?"
"You saved thousands of people in North Korea!"
Zhu Qiyu said: "Just follow Sun Yuanzhen's method, and all the ministers will discuss it and fill in the plan!"
"If it succeeds, after I regain North Korea, I will pick a city in North Korea and name it after you, Sun Yuanzhen!"
Are you trying to make me infamous forever?
Sun Yuanzhen wanted to cry.
The courtiers also felt that the emperor had gone too far.
After all, North Korea has always been deferential. You are somewhat ashamed of being so deferential to North Korea.
"Your Majesty, I have a plan for your Majesty's reference." Ma Wen was promoted to the first sword of the imperial court and killed North Korea first.
"Say!"
Ma Wensheng said: "I think your Majesty should set up an immigration bureau."
"I have issued an imperial edict not to persecute the Korean people, and treat the Korean people as the same as the Chinese people."
“Then those who immigrated, men and women separately.”
"If the meritorious men who fought on the battlefield last year have not started a family or established a career, a Korean woman will be given to them to urge them to start a family and establish a career."
"And men, they flooded into Liaoning and Rehe."
"Choose a Chinese girl locally and marry her."
"After immigrating, we must not live together. We must spread out, live together with Han and Mongolian people, and marry each other. After a few generations, there will no longer be distinctions between Han and Han people."
"North Korea's clothing is the same as that of the Ming Dynasty."
"There is no need to make him change his clothes, which saves a lot of trouble."
"If appropriate, we will recruit some obedient people, fill them into the land of the two lakes, divide them into houses and areas, and enter the hinterland of the Central Plains. Naturally, they will be assimilated very quickly."
Ma Wensheng's words are intended to destroy North Korea.
In 30 years, there will be no more Koreans in the world, only Han people.
"Select a capable minister from the court to take charge of this matter."
"Under the Ministry of Rites, there is an immigration bureau."
"Take charge of this."
Zhu Qiyu accepted Ma Wensheng's opinion and selected candidates from close ministers.
Hu Hui recommended Zou Xun.
Zou Xun was compiled by the Hanlin Academy and was considered capable.
"allow!"
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "By annexing the people of North Korea, North Korea will no longer be a serious problem and can be annexed at any time."
"Even if the king of Korea knew what he was doing, he would write to the Ming Dynasty and beg the Ming Dynasty to merge Korea into the Celestial Dynasty."
"At that time, I will use the donkey under the slope to conquer North Korea."
Normally, let Koreans become Chinese people.
That is a gift.
North Koreans should not be ignorant.
"Your Majesty, one herdsman point is not enough. They must be set up along the route. The more the better."
"Go further south step by step, setting up as you go."
"Moreover, we need to obtain the consent of the King of Joseon, so that the King of Joseon can issue a royal edict and make his people cooperate."
"Wei Chen thought that the King of Joseon must have never imagined that the Ming Dynasty would take in the Korean people."
"By the time he regrets it, the rice has already been cooked."
"In addition, Duoduo supervised the construction of boat branches and ordered the boats to transport people into Liaoning and from Liaoning to Rehe."
Ma Wensheng said: "Anyway, we are leading a heavy army to rescue North Korea. Let's not attack the city first. Every time we arrive, we will take over a place and take a boat back to the country."
"Ma Wensheng, go back and make a list and hand it over to the Immigration Bureau."
Zhu Qiyu said: "Bai Gui, you should pay close attention to this matter. Immigration is a top priority and must not be neglected."
"I obey the decree!" Ma Wensheng and Bai Gui kowtowed.
Zhu Qiyu looked at Yu Qian: "Xing Guogong, who can lead the troops to rescue North Korea?"
Yu Qian smiled wryly.
What I mean is that you save North Korea from danger, not that you take the opportunity to annex them!
What is the difference between your doing this and the Jurchen Ministry?
This is dividing Korea.
The Jurchen Ministry wants money, food, salt, iron and people, so just ask for them directly.
Fortunately, the emperor helped North Korea expel the Jurchens.
When the heavenly soldiers arrive in North Korea, there is no telling how many members of the Jurchen tribe will be able to return alive.
"Your Majesty, the situation in North Korea is complicated."
"And we have to accept the people."
"We need someone who is capable of civil and military skills to take charge of the army." Yu Qian said.
You definitely can't use a strong general, not someone like Mao Zhong.
The rescue of North Korea is mainly political and supplementary by military.
"Civil officials are also welcome, just recommend talents."
Zhu Qiyu felt that Yu Qian was right.
"Your Majesty, there is indeed such a great talent in the court, I'm just afraid that you won't be able to let him go." Yu Qian joked instead.
Zhu Qiyu immediately thought of who it was.
"Dong Guo Xing, Duke Guo Xing, you are really good at scheming."
Yu Qian stroked his beard and smiled.
His choice is Wang Yue!
Wang Yue was a favored minister of the emperor, and he also allowed civil and military officials. The key was that after this man became lame, his temperament became extreme and he hardly cared about his reputation.
Such people are the most suitable to do this.
However, after doing this, Wang Yue was destined to be knighted, making it difficult for him to serve as prime minister.
The civil and military divisions were divided, and Jingwei was clearly defined.
This is Zhu Qiyu's purpose.
"Is there anyone else?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Fu, Cao Yi, or Renli are all welcome."
Mao Zhong will definitely die.
Mao Zhong was a fierce general, but he was not politically sensitive enough and could easily get things wrong.
As for Ren Li, he was in poor health and needed to rest in the capital, and Zhu Qiyu also needed him to guard the capital.
"If Wang Yue is sent there and a veteran is sent to assist him, I'm afraid the veteran will be conflicted."
Zhu Qiyu almost settled on Wang Yue.
"Now there is no war in Xuanzhen, but there is a large amount of civil and military accumulation."
"Try Li Kan and Jiang Wan to return to Beijing."
"The decree is passed, and Wang Yue is appointed as the chief military officer to aid the dynasty, with an official seal and a flag ordered by the king;"
"Jiang Wan and Li Kan are appointed deputy generals;"
"Yang Shouchen is the counselor of military affairs;"
"Qin Cheng was appointed as the eunuch of Zhenfu;"
"Add Zhou Xian, Zhou Yu and his son to the court again."
Zhu Qiyu gave Zhou Xian and Zhou Yu a chance.
Since there are talents for famous generals, they must be given opportunities to focus on cultivating them.
"As for how many troops will be sent?"
Zhu Qiyu hesitated instead. If he sent more troops, the capital would be empty. If he sent fewer troops, he might not be able to achieve full success in North Korea.
"Your Majesty, 3 people are enough!"
Yu Qian said seriously: "This battle is only to compress the space of the Jurchen Department, not to eliminate the Jurchens."
"As long as the Jurchen tribe can be defeated step by step, that's it."
"After entering North Korea, Wang Yue can help North Korea train a strong army and use North Korean soldiers in exchange for the heads of Jurchens."
"It's best to use all cavalry. They can come and go like the wind and preserve your strength to the greatest extent."
Yu Qian was using the Koreans to consume the Jurchens on the battlefield.
To achieve the purpose of benefiting Ming Dynasty.
"Is thirty thousand a little too little?" Li Shi frowned.
"It's not just that we don't have many soldiers. What's more, if there are too many soldiers, transporting food and grass will also be a problem." Yu Qian said.
That's right, to help North Korea fight the war, you have to transport food and grass from Daming.
North Korea is barren and has no hair.
"Let's settle on [-]."
Zhu Qiyu just wanted to mobilize troops from Liaoning.
But then I thought about it, the Liaoning soldiers had to be used to pacify Wu Liangha, but they couldn't be used for the time being.
As for the soldiers from the original Beijing camp, some of them were in Liaoning and some were in Rehe, following Yu Qian in wiping out the Tatar soldiers.
"Where did the soldiers come from?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
He didn't want to use the capital's troops.
The soldiers in the capital are related to his safety and cannot be moved for the time being.
"Your Majesty, you can transfer from Rehe and Liaoning, and then transfer a group from Henan and Shandong to make up 3 people."
Yu Qian did not intend to use the troops in the capital camp.
"I'm afraid Shandong and Henan won't be able to mobilize many troops." Hu Hu did not explain clearly, because both places were plowing areas and needed soldiers.
Guangxi wolf soldiers cannot be used. Guangxi wolf soldiers cannot fight in field battles, especially in cavalry battles.
If you go, you will die.
In the Korean War, cavalry was mostly used.
"We can transfer a group of people from Hetao." Yi Ming suggested.
Geng Jiuchou thought it was not possible: "Ningxia Xinding is exactly when a large army is needed and cannot be transferred away."
"Deploy troops from Shanxi."
After Zhu Qiyu decided, he would try to get [-] from Shanxi, Henan, Shandong, Rehe, and Liaoning. If it was not enough, he would be transferred from the capital.
"Since we're talking about war, let's just talk about it all."
Zhu Qiyu said: "The Jurchen tribe will definitely go out in full force to conquer North Korea."
"What I mean is to send another partial force to attack Huanglong and cut off the Jurchens' retreat."
"At the same time, the plan to conquer Ulyanha remains unchanged."
Send troops in three directions?
The courtiers were stunned.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to rush into a war. Why send out troops in three directions at once?" Li Shi smiled bitterly and had to eat the food one bite at a time.
Yu Qian said: "Your Majesty's intention is not bad."
Li Shi was not polite to Qian: "Xing Guogong, do you want to ruin the great situation of Ming Dynasty?"
"Censor Zuodu, please be patient and listen to what I have to say."
Yu Qian said: "The main purpose of traveling to North Korea is to immigrate, not to fight."
"And blocking the Jurchen rear will also disturb the morale of the army. At most, one partial division will be enough."
"Neither of these two groups is the main force, so there is no need to fight a tough battle."
"The real battle is still with Wu Liangha."
"Furthermore, His Majesty also said that annexing Wu Liangha is not a day's work. Our goal is to weaken Wu Liangha."
"Firstly, it is to gain an advantage and show strength; secondly, it is also to train troops."
"Eat your food in one bite and take your time."
"We have soldiers, horses and food, so it would be good to train our troops with Wu Liangha."
Yu Qian's words can be said into Zhu Qiyu's heart.
Soldiers must practice regularly, and it is best to fight every day.
"Then send out troops in four directions!" Zhu Qiyu said.
Why add one more road?
How much money is wasted!
The courtiers wanted to persuade again.
After having a baby, I always get sick. I seem to be sick again today. My head hurts. I slept all day and it hurts all day. I took medicine at night. I went out for two meals on November and got sick twice. I was drunk!In the past, the author only got sick once a year, but this year he gets sick every month!
