Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 619: The Year of Great Change (1)

"What a year of great changes. I didn't expect that in the second year of the Apocalypse, the Northern Territory of the Ming Dynasty would be in such chaos. It seems that the military power of the Ming Dynasty is back!!"

A sonorous and powerful voice sounded, and the ministers of the Military Academy, the ministers of the upper study room, and even the ministers of the Ministry of War who gathered in Wuying Hall looked at the sound with complicated expressions.

Countless complicated eyes came to him. Zhu Youxiao, who was wearing a dragon robe, pressed his hands in front of the specially made war sand table, with a smile on his handsome face and his bright eyes staring at the war sand table.

"Your Majesty, the current complicated situation in northern Xinjiang is putting great pressure on the imperial court."

Wei Guangxu, Minister of the Military Academy and Counselor to the Prime Minister of the Upper Study Room, looked around with a complicated expression, and then stepped forward and said to Zhu Youxiao: "Affected by the Battle of Tieling, we will go east to Liaoxi and the Liaoxi Corridor, pass through the important town of Shanhaiguan, and end at Jimi. The Yongsanxie garrison even reached the towns of Xuanfu and Datong, which stretched almost a thousand miles away, and the turmoil in the nomadic areas of Monan tribes adjacent to the northern border of the Ming Dynasty never stopped. "

"Some of the unrest that occurred was in response to the Liaodong Governor's Office in Guangning, in order to disrupt the Mongolian and Tatar tribes close to the Liaohetao area, and then reduce the pressure on the Tieling front line. Hong Chengchou and others attacked Chahar, Neikarka, etc. The Ministry launched a highly targeted deployment, and the Jiliao Governor's Office, Jingyingrong Government, Xuanfu Town, Datong Town and other departments successively dispatched their elite cavalry to achieve this effectively. "

"It's just that under the regional turmoil, the most indispensable thing is ambitious people. The influence of Hu Duntuhan, the Mongolian Khan, is simply not enough to deter the various tribes in Monan."

Zhu Youxiao laughed and stared at the war sand table in front of him, "Hu Duntu Han has a higher heart than the sky. He wants to restore the glory of the Golden Family and become a being comparable to Genghis Khan."

"I don't even think about whether the Ming Dynasty would allow the vast grasslands of northern Xinjiang to have such a grassland force that threatens the border."

"Even if I am really short-sighted, I only see the Jianlu who committed crimes below, and I want to re-establish the supreme power of the Ming Dynasty by suppressing the Jianlu rebellion!!"

"What about the Jianlu Eight Banners below? The ambitious old slave certainly doesn't want to see such a powerful enemy appear on the grassland. Otherwise, we have a strong Ming army in Liaodong, and there are Mongolian cavalry with extremely strong cavalry and shooting in Monan. If the army has reached this level, Jianlu will be unable to defeat him with just two fists!"

All the ministers in Wuying Hall were silent.

Are you short-sighted today?

If anyone dares to have such an idea, it is simply the biggest joke!

"In my opinion, pressure is not necessarily a bad thing."

While the ministers were thinking a lot, Zhu Youxiao lifted up the sleeves of his robe and said calmly: "Let's not mention the Sichuan and Gui chieftains who were thousands of miles away to suppress the rebellion. Let's just talk about the suppression of the Jianlu rebellion surrounding Liaodong. This Obviously it’s not just a matter of guarding the Liao armies.”

"Whether you admit it or deny it, if you want to completely suppress the Jianlu rebellion, you will inevitably involve the Monan tribes."

"Speaking of which, the Ming Dynasty began to lose the initiative in Liaodong. It was the disastrous defeat of Saarhu in the 47th year of Wanli. Our dynasty lost a large number of elites and lost the Liao territory headed by Kaiyuan and Tieling. By the way, the Jianlu took advantage of the great With the remaining power of victory, Ye He's tribe was attacked and destroyed. From then on, Liaozuo was in turmoil, which threatened the overall stability of Liaodong. "

Wang Xiangqian and Wei Guangxu nodded in approval.

Perhaps some of the descriptions the emperor said are not very appropriate, but the basic situation is this. "But don't forget."

Zhu Youxiao glanced at the ministers in the palace and continued: "The Eight Banners of Jianlu led by Lao Nu have a longer relationship with the Monan tribes who are in internal chaos."

"Through Lao Nu's plan to marry with the Horqin tribes, it is not difficult to see that Lao Nu wants to use the Horqin grassland as a springboard to gradually encroach on the Monan tribes."

"In the face of this very intuitive situation, the so-called Mongolian Khan Hu Duntuhan, and the powerful factions in the Chahar, Neikalkha, and Karaqin tribes all know it very well. , For this reason, they also broke out conflicts with Jianlu, and even sandwiched the Horqin Grassland in the middle to pull or fight. "

Unlike the Ming Dynasty, which was based on farming, the nomadic and hunting peoples active in the grassland, even if there are extremely strong forces among them, can not hide the chaos of the grassland. This chaos is caused by the national attributes. The grassland There can only be one strong person, and there cannot be more. If there are more, the disputes and wars will not stop.

"But Your Majesty..."

Under such circumstances, a voice sounded, which attracted the attention of many people. Facing the gazes of many ministers, Lu Xiangsheng stepped forward and bowed to the emperor.

"...Because of the turmoil in various parts of northern Xinjiang, it has affected many of the imperial court's plans. Not to mention other things, just the garrison system in Xuanfu Town, Jimiyong Sanxie, Shanhaiguan Town and other places. In order to ensure the stability of the border areas, They have increased police patrols everywhere, which has directly led to a lot of increase in military expenditures everywhere.”

"Your Majesty said that solving the Jianlu rebellion will inevitably involve the Monan tribes. I highly agree with this. In a sense, the Jianlu and Mongolian Tatars are both border troubles of the Ming Dynasty. It's just that in In the past, the strong predatory nature of Jianlu made the Ming Dynasty pay more attention to Jianlu! "

"But I always feel that the turmoil caused by the Tieling Battle cannot continue to expand. Otherwise, I am very worried that the tribes in Monan will lose control under this turmoil, and even this chaos will affect Dongtumo. Te, Tumochuan Tumote, Hetao, Ordos and other forces!”

"Especially the Mongolian Tatar forces in Hetao and Ordos, which are close to the northwest of our Ming Dynasty. They have always been hostile to our Ming Dynasty, and they often even harassed and plundered our Ming Dynasty's borders."

"If they gain insight into the situation of the tribes in Monan, there is no guarantee that some of them will not have evil intentions. In this case, whether they interfere in the war in Monan or send troops to harass the northwest border, it will be a good thing for the imperial court. ah!!"

His vision is really vicious.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Lu Xiangsheng with a pleased smile on his lips. While some people's eyes were always fixed on the turmoil on the front line in Liaodong, Lu Xiangsheng looked further.

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng finished speaking, Wang Xiangqian, Zhao Yan, Wei Guangxu and other ministers came forward to express their support. They had also considered all the things Lu Xiangsheng was worried about, and even thought of more.

Unknowingly, when the second year of Apocalypse came, Ming Dynasty actually fell into a situation of war on all sides. The internal counter-insurgency and external operations launched were obviously beyond many people's expectations! !
