Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 84 Liao Bureau (1)

Forbidden City, Hall of Martial Arts.

Standing with his hands behind his back, Zhu Youxiao looked around at the many maps erected in the hall. Yuan Keli, Liang Tingdong, Yang Sichang, Shi Yongan, Wu Aheng and other officials standing in the hall, Chen Ce, Tong Zhongkui, Qi Jin and other generals showed different expressions. Fan Tianzi drove the Hall of Martial Arts, everyone knew why, but everyone's thoughts were different.

"In the past few days, I let the ministers know about the many memorials and documents related to the Liao affairs. Presumably, all the ministers have their own thoughts and opinions on the Liao affairs in recent years."

Zhu Youxiao turned around, looked around at the ministers and generals in front of him, and said calmly: "I'm setting up the Wuying Hall today, just to discuss the Liao affairs with the ministers, so as to learn about the advantages and disadvantages of the Liao Dynasty. The advantages and disadvantages of building a captive in the Liao land, there is a way to know yourself and the enemy, and you can win every battle. If you can't even have an intuitive understanding of the real situation of the enemy you encounter, how can you defeat a strong enemy who is actually rebellious? "

It seems that deep in the emperor's heart, he attaches great importance to the rampant Jianlu rebellion, which is a good thing for the country.

Yuan Keli, who stood at the forefront, heard all kinds of things the emperor said, and felt emotional in his heart. He was responsible for personally interrogating the Sarhu World War I case. The real situation that Yuan Keli learned would make him often worried about Liao affairs.

Although Xiong Tingbi knew about the military affairs of Liaodong and took office in Liao, he has been working hard to maintain the stability of Liao, especially the Liaozu front line. However, there are too many things that are not hidden in the open, but hidden in the dark. This This has also resulted in the current situation in Liao being unstable. Perhaps some of it was influenced by the Jianlu, but some were not influenced by the Jianlu.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I feel that the current Liao Bureau is by no means as stable as the memorial said."

While Yuan Keli was thinking about it, Liang Tingdong looked serious, stepped forward, bowed and saluted, and said: "The soldiers in Liao prepared the road and the guard post was under their jurisdiction. We were ordered to rush to the aid of the guest armies in Liao. The original defeated the defeated troops in the Battle of Sarhu. These numerous soldiers and horses with unclear leadership and mixed command were scattered among the towns and guards under the jurisdiction of Liaozuo and Liaonan.

The minister has been thinking about a question these days, if the minister is Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong, how can he really appease such complicated armies.

What's more, during this period, Jianlu won the final victory from Sarhu, condemned his troops to harass the Liaozuo area many times, and even seized Kaiyuan, Tieling and other places. Liao affairs seem to be concerned, but in fact there is no real help. How can this rebellion be suppressed as soon as possible? "

Dare to say it.

Yang Sichang, Shi Yongan, Wu Aheng and the others, and even generals such as Chen Ce, Tong Zhongkui and Qi Jin who had arrived in Liao, were all surprised when they heard what Liang Tingdong said. Some things were not unknown to others, but were forced to Some realities, I don't want to mention too much.

This is the status quo of Daming.

This is the tragedy of Ming Dynasty.

"What Liang Qing said is exactly what I am worried about."

When everyone was surprised, Zhu Youxiao said: "I won't mention anything in the past. I will say that since I came to the throne as Yuji, there are officials in the court, especially the cabinet, who have not paid attention to the Liao affairs. There may be some occasional mention of Liao affairs, but this is because the current situation in the DPRK has changed, so I wanted to use this to confuse things."

Bet right.

Liang Tingdong's heart beat faster, when he heard what the emperor said, his hanging heart fell, and the hanging hand was still trembling slightly before, but now it no longer trembles.

What Liang Tingdong didn't know was that all his performances were in Zhu Youxiao's eyes. "Your Majesty, I have been familiar with the memorials and documents of the Liao region these days, and feel that in order to stabilize the Liao Bureau, it is necessary to arrange for the governor of Liaodong to be stationed in Guangning."

Liang Tingdong hesitated for a moment, bowed to the emperor and bowed again: "Nowadays, because of the Liao incident, the country has set up the governor of Jiliao to stabilize and defend the towns of Jimiyong and other towns in the capital, and set up Liaodong economic strategy to control the current situation in Liao. The Liao region stretches across thousands of miles, especially the important town of Shanhaiguan, which is too far away from the important towns of Liaoyang and Shenyang before the Liao Dynasty. In my opinion, there is a flaw. The current Liao region is too heavy on the left of Liao, while the west of Liao and the corridors of Liaoxi are sparse.

The disastrous defeat in that battle caused the dynasty to lose its prestige in the Liao region, and the foreign forces adjacent to the Liao region, in addition to the rampant Jianlu, there are also grasslands such as Karaqin, Neikarka, Chahar, and Horqin. All the ministries, including those on the Horqin Grassland, had rebelled and made good friends with Jianlu, and the court had to be vigilant, so I felt that the governor of Liaodong should be appointed to town Liaoxi and stationed in Guangning, so as to avoid the rear of Liao..."

Liang's thinking is still the same as before.

Listening to what Liang Tingdong said, Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes slightly and recognized what Liang Tingdong said, but Zhu Youxiao did not approve of the appointment of the governor of Liaodong to the west of Liaoning and stationed in Guangning.

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

"That's a bad word."

Just when Zhu Youxiao was thinking, Yang Sichang stepped forward and put forward different opinions, "Qizou Your Majesty, I feel that setting up the governor of Liaodong is not in line with the stability of the Liaodong Bureau. During this period, various decisions were made to stabilize the Liao Bureau.

Zhou Yongchun, the former Governor of Liaodong, resigned due to the death of his mother at home, and has not returned to Liao to report on his duties. If the governor of Liaodong is rashly replaced, and he is stationed in Guangning in western Liaoning, then once the news spreads, what will Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong, think?And what do people in Liao think? "

"My minister agrees."

"My minister agrees."

As soon as Yang Sichang finished speaking, Yuan Keli and Shi Yong'an agreed one after another. They both originally wanted to say something, but seeing that the other party had a tacit understanding with them, they didn't say anything for a while.

On the other hand, Liang Tingdong's face became a little ugly.

"Don't worry, gentlemen. I'm here today in the Hall of Martial Arts. I just want to talk to you about the Liao Bureau." Seeing this scene, Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly and said, "Any disagreement is normal. I want to hear it." There are different voices, the stability of the Liao Bureau is related to the stability of the country in northern Xinjiang, let’s talk about it one by one.”

Compared with intervening and checking and balancing the court, Zhu Youxiao had his own ideas and opinions. When dealing with the Liao Bureau, Zhu Youxiao still hoped to hear different voices. The most important reason was that Ming Dynasty could not afford to lose in Liao.

Once defeated, the original pattern of attacking and defending in the Liao region will completely evolve into a pattern where the enemy advances and we retreat. This loss is not only the territory, but also countless wealth and population. Affected by certain factors, in the According to the inherent concept of many people, Liaodong is a place of bitter cold, but Zhu Youxiao knows better than anyone what kind of wealth accumulation is hidden in Liaodong, but this part does not belong to the imperial court, nor does it belong to the bottom group.

If Zhu Youxiao wants to bring Daming back on track, he must implement multi-level efforts. Perhaps he has a general idea for the next Liao war in his heart, but he needs more dimensions to perfect his strategy. At the same time, This is also a behavior to gather the hearts of the imperial party. It does not mean that as the Son of Heaven, if he summons some ministers under his rule to Beijing, then he can be included in the imperial party category. If that is the case, politics will be too simple...
