Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 262 It's Impossible
The military is a continuation of politics and closely revolves around politics. The core essence of politics is the exchange of interests. When it cannot be achieved at the negotiation table, it must be obtained through the military, otherwise a series of adverse effects will occur.

In a special sense, Jianlu, who integrated the three guards of Jianzhou, chose to abandon the officials appointed by the Ming Dynasty, and then clearly separated the emperors, and even issued the so-called Seven Hatreds, pointing the finger at the Ming Dynasty. This is They trampled the face of Ming Dynasty, the national prestige of Ming Dynasty, and the majesty of Ming Dynasty to the ground without any scruples.

If there is no response from the Ming Dynasty, then starting from the vassal state of Korea in the east, all the way to the west Horqin, Neikalkha, Chahar, Kalaqin, Dongtumote, Tumochuantumote, Hetaobu, Ordos The Mongolian tribes such as the Qinghai Tumote, Transkarkha, and Oirat tribes, regardless of their previous relationship with the Ming Dynasty, such as tribute, mutual trade, hostility, neutrality, etc., will all have different ideas about the Ming Dynasty.

After decades of fighting, a former domestic slave was still able to unify the fragmented Jurchen tribes, and even publicly challenged the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty was defeated again and again. This represents the rich territory of the Ming Dynasty, especially the vast northern border. Territory can also be invaded or occupied by us!
The fundamental symbol of a dynasty's strength must be its extremely vast strategic depth. Without this basic support, no matter how powerful the army is, it will only be a flash in the pan.

The drums and drums that sounded at the Meridian Gate soon spread throughout the Forbidden City, and then throughout the Imperial City. As time went by, the news also spread throughout the capital and inside and outside the capital. A grand event of "Zoujie" was transmitted from the Liaozuo front line. Sweeping the entire capital at an unimaginable speed.

"How is this possible~"

At that time, where the cabinet was, Han Xu looked surprised and stared at the Zhongshu Sheren in front of him. He subconsciously said something, but soon realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Han Xu went on to say: "Previously, when the urgent military information related to Liaodong was received, the Ministry of War repeatedly submitted memorials to the imperial court, the cabinet, and the General Affairs Department, even though His Majesty was dissatisfied with the delay in delivering the message. , unable to promptly report the situation in Liaodong to the central government, stayed in China and did not express a position, and blindly pushed all matters involving the military situation in Liaodong to the Liaodong Economic and Strategy Office."

"Even when the war broke out in Liaozuo, the imperial court did not allocate any money or food, let alone dispatch troops to assist Liao."

"Now it's directly passed back to Zuojie from Liaozuo?"

"How was the battle fought?"

"Even if Xiong Manzi is martial and good at fighting, the initial invasion of Liaozuo by the rebels caused the internal migration of Liaozuo soldiers and civilians. The order of the guards in southern Liaoning was affected. There was even a rebellion in the western Liaoning border. Even Shanhaiguan territory was under martial law. It was so complicated. Under the ever-changing situation of the Liao Dynasty, a victory report is now being sent to the imperial court?"

The victory came without any warning, making Han Xu, a cabinet minister, unable to believe that the Liaozuo front line had won the battle.

This is too weird!

In fact, Han Xu was not the only one. Other ministers in the cabinet, including other courtiers in the outer court, had the same reaction as Han Xu after hearing the victory and drum beating and knowing some news. There were even a handful of people who were still thinking about it. I wonder if Xiong Tingbi, who was the Liaodong manager at the time, was pretending to be a military leader?
This is no small matter!
In the battle of the 47th year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty suffered a disastrous defeat at the hands of the Eight Banners of the Jianqi. It lost a large number of elites, lost part of the Liao territory, and even lost face in the vassal state of Korea. It also caused the Yehe tribe to be annexed by the Jianqi. People in Liaodong were panicked, but How long has it been? It has been less than two years, and how long has it been since the new king Yuji came to the throne? In the blink of an eye, the Ming Dynasty bucked the trend?
This is unbelievable!

"The specific situation is not yet known."

The man from Zhongshushe was obviously confused and said to Han Xu with a serious expression: "According to the team that went to Beijing to report the victory, they crossed the sea by boat via southern Liaoning and rushed to Tianjin Sanwei all the way north to deliver the news of the victory to the central government. This matter is being spread all over the capital right now.”

"and many more!"

Han Xu's eyes widened, and he pointed at the man and said, "You mean, the victory team arriving in Beijing did not enter through the Liaoxi Corridor?"

"No."

The Zhongshushe person shook his head and said: "There are two victory teams sent to Beijing from the Liaozuo front line. The one that entered the customs via the Liaoxi Corridor has just arrived at Shanhaiguan and has not even rushed to Shanhaiguan..."

At this time, Han Xu was not listening to what the man said at all, he was just stunned in place.

Liaonan to Tianjin.

Shipping?

Is it possible that the emperor intervened in Liao affairs from the very beginning?It's just that he didn't pay any attention on the surface and deceived all the civil and military officials of the court?

This terrible thought arose deep in Han Xu's heart and expanded uncontrollably.

Since March of the first year of Tianqi, Jianlu has not launched an offensive on the Liaozuo front line. Whether it is the central court or the capital and the capital, it has been extremely unstable. During this period, various incidents occurred one after another, so that Liaodong The military intelligence report sent back by the Secretary urgently should have been the most concerned thing, but in the end it became the least taken seriously. There were many people among them who had other thoughts and wanted to take advantage of the Liao Bureau in the end.

But no one thought that this was exactly what Zhu Youxiao wanted.

Counting the reasons for the disastrous defeat of the Battle of Saarhu, too much undue attention appeared and put too much pressure on the Liao Qian. Any person in the center, as long as there was the slightest involvement in his authority, could dictate the affairs of the Liao and even have corresponding influence. , which is destined to fail miserably!

Zhu Youxiao is going to make a big gamble.

Don’t you want to keep an eye on me, the great emperor of tomorrow?

Ok.

Then I won't get involved. If it involves war, I will leave it to Xiong Tingbi and the others with confidence and boldness. I bet that Xiong Tingbi can withstand it!

This gamble involves many lives.

This huge gamble involves the fate of Ming Dynasty.

But Zhu Youxiao took a gamble!
Liaozuo can win the first battle, and Ming Dynasty can make a lot of money.

The majestic Emperor of Ming Dynasty did not serve as the commander-in-chief of the battle, but was willing to do the work of logistics support and never interfered with others. In a sense, Zhu Youxiao used the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty to allow Xiong Tingbi and others to fight in Liaozuo .

Even if... Liao Zuo was defeated in that battle.Liao Zuo was lost.

Liaonan is lost.

No matter how much damage is done during this period, it will be a great success for Ming Dynasty athletes.

Zhu Youxiao will definitely not blame Xiong Tingbi and the others, but will choose to bear everything himself, because Zhu Youxiao knows this war and has nothing else but to choose to believe it!
Too many generals of the Ming Dynasty were abandoned.

The Ming army was despised too much.

Han Xu left the official room and hurried towards the Qianqing Palace. During this period, the cabinet group assistants Zhu Guozuo, He Zongyan, Shen and Shi Jikai also rushed to the Qianqing Palace one after another. Even when Han Xu left, they also They bumped into Zhu Guozuo, but they didn't say anything and walked quickly without saying a word.

The sky above the Forbidden City is very blue, the high-hanging sun is dazzling, and wisps of golden light shine through the clouds. At this moment, many people appear in the Meridian Gate area.

of the Ministry of War.

From the Ministry of Finance.

Of the official department.

Of the Ministry of Rites.

of the Ministry of Punishment.

From the Ministry of Industry...

The government officials in Beijing, the court ministers Jingqing and other heads of government departments all set out from their respective government offices and rushed towards the Qianqing Palace. Even the Integrity Council came.

Cui Chengxiu looked serious and walked quickly towards the Meridian Gate. He rushed from the Office of the Independent Commission Against Corruption to the Imperial City. Cui Chengxiu was shocked by what he saw in the streets in the inner city.

As the news of Liao Zuo's victory spread throughout the capital, various groups living in the capital, especially those at the bottom, were extremely excited.

Daming wins!

Ming Dynasty defeated Jianlu!
Although this was all they learned, it was enough. At least the haze of the previous disastrous defeat in the Battle of Saarhu was completely dispelled at this moment, as the news of Liaozuo's victory spread.

In fact, for the lower class groups, they don't want to know too many secrets. They just want to know that the Ming Dynasty is still strong, so that they can live a good life.

Those who least want to experience war are always the lower class groups, because they all know that once they experience war, they will be the first to suffer, regardless of whether they are in the war zone or not.

Similarly, the people at the bottom who are most likely to cry out and kill are the groups at the bottom, because they know better that once the battle that should be fought is not fought, but they choose to swallow their anger, their good life will be gone.

The ethnic group bred on the land of China is the most strategic and militant existence in the world, but it is just covered up by our hard-working and simple side, which makes too many people think that we are not militant.

What kind of prince will Xiangning?

If you don't tell me to live a good life, but you insist on driving me to a dead end, there's nothing to say. I'll kill you!

This is Shenzhou!
This is pride!
This is pride!
"What you said about Liaozuo's victory is true or false? Didn't you always say that Liaodong was unstable? Why did you suddenly defeat Jianlu?"

"I don't know, but I still know Xiong Tingbi's temperament. It would be very difficult for him to do something that pretends to be a military leader."

"But how was this battle fought?"

"But if you really want to talk about it, have you noticed that from the beginning to the end, since the war broke out in Liaozuo, there were secretaries in Liaodong who rushed to Beijing to deliver a lot of military information, even if it delayed their arrival in Beijing, but the Liaodong Economic Strategy Office did not send any information to Beijing from the beginning. Send a military message to the capital."

"Really..."

On the way to the Meridian Gate, Cui Chengxiu, who was alone, heard a lot of comments, but when he heard this sentence, Cui Chengxiu smiled.

It seems that the Liaozuo front line has really won the battle.

Yes.

Since the Jianlu invaded Liaozuo, the Liaodong Economic and Strategic Office headed by Xiong Tingbi has not sent military information to the capital urgently, and the emperor's attitude has been more direct. Since the military situation in Liao is mixed, and the Liaodong Economic and Strategic Office has not sent military information urgently, then Just ask the Liaodong Economic Strategy Office to take on all this.

Thinking of this, Cui Chengxiu calmed down and slowed down his pace. Now he was thinking about what kind of actions the Institute of Integrity would take next...
