Chapter 187
"Now that China is safe, the barbarians have surrendered. If you want to fight against foreigners, you must first make peace at home. The military affairs in Liaodong are of course important, but the food and fodder of each province are even more indispensable."

But not everyone is like this. Ye Xianggao, who is also a cabinet bachelor and has more seniority, immediately raised objections and specifically quoted the views of Zhao Pu, the famous prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty.

"Master Ye, rescuing troops is like putting out fires. It's not too late to decide on the candidates for the general army first and then slowly investigate the case." Xiao Daheng, the Minister of Punishment, also stood up and clearly supported Li Tingji.

"Xiao Shangshu, there is no conflict between the selection of general soldiers and the investigation of the case. It shouldn't matter if it's earlier or later, right?" Just as he finished speaking, another bachelor spoke. Fang Congzhe spoke to Ye Xianggao with a Hebei accent. One ticket.

"Your Majesty has some secrets about the candidate for the Liaodong Commander-in-Chief Army. You might as well tell the ministers and others to discuss the details together." Seeing that at the beginning of the meeting, there were obvious differences between the cabinet and the six ministries and nine ministers, Shen Li couldn't help but feel a little vigilant.

It sounds so familiar. The entry of Li Zhi and Ye Xianggao into the cabinet was directly related to Shen Yiguan's sudden betrayal and support for the emperor. At this time, the behavior of Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe was very similar to that of Shen Yiguan.

"Let's not be too busy choosing the general soldier. I would like to ask you, where did the Ming Dynasty's border troubles start and where should they stop?"

He is really a cunning person. Looking at the noisy and noisy high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty, Hong Tao was interrupted just after he had a little pleasure. He could only curse in his heart and change the topic as if nothing had happened.

It is said that Shen Li is a straight minister. Indeed, he keeps a straight face all day long and rarely looks pleasant. He will not praise the emperor easily. Opening and closing his mouth are all laws, much like Bao Qingtian in the novel.

But don’t be deceived by the appearance of politicians. People who are not smooth enough, clever enough, and ruthless enough have no hope of climbing to the position of chief minister of the cabinet in any dynasty. They will have been killed by various brats on the way. .

No, as soon as he showed a trump card, he saw through the phenomenon and saw the essence. He didn't dwell on the specific issues at all and directly asked for the lowest price.If the price is right, we can continue to negotiate. If the price is not right, there is no need to negotiate.

"..." This question caused the officials present to immediately stop arguing. They first communicated with each other with their divine eyes, and then all turned their heads to Sun Wei, the Minister of War.

"Why do you ask, Your Majesty?" As a member of the Qin Party, politically forming an alliance with the up-and-coming Donglin Party to jointly resist the looming imperial power is the only way out.Sun Wei already had an idea about who to appoint as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, and did not want to spread the basic knowledge in lengthy articles.

"Of course it is to select the General Soldier of Liaodong! If I and all the ministers and ministers can't even understand the causes and consequences, how can we choose the right person? How can we give a clear long-term plan? It's a matter of treating a headache and treating a headache. I don’t want to do it, and I don’t want you to do it!”

The emperor, who was still full of geniality, suddenly stopped smiling and said a lot of nonsense righteously.But sometimes, the more nonsense it is, the more justified it is.In the private sector, this is called pretending to be confused, but in the officialdom, it is called breaking the rules.

Who doesn't know that selecting the general soldier is equivalent to fighting for power. Whether he can fight or not, and whether he understands the situation on the front line are secondary.Now the emperor wants to skip the unspoken rules and get straight to the point, which is to flip the table!
"Liaodong tribes have always had this. It's a long story. If your majesty wants to know more about it, you can choose another time. I would like to explain it one by one." Now that the emperor has drawn the road, Sun Wei does not intend to give in.Some people are afraid of investigating the food shortage case, but if we are upright and have no fear of slanting shadows, we will not be able to fulfill your wish!

"The most important thing is simplicity. If you really understand something, you can understand the inner relationship without having to read historical materials at length. Sun Shangshu might as well give it a try. I am all ears!" The emperor was not angry or impatient after being rejected by the minister in person. Take your time and hold on to it.

"I forgive you for being stupid, and I would like to listen to your majesty's teachings." Sun Wei was determined to go against the emperor today. The position of the Liaodong General Army was too important. Nearly half of the imperial elite and military expenditures were thrown there. If the candidate is not selected, The consequences of being under the control of the Ministry of War are disastrous.

"Okay, I'll talk about it. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to give me some advice. Wang Cheng'en, bring up my blackboard and map, and tell the dessert room to prepare more pastries of various colors."

Unexpectedly, the emperor actually agreed. He stood up and left the imperial desk, flexing his arms and legs and preparing snacks. It seemed that not only did he have to talk, but the time would not be short.The most important thing is to be simple, don’t be lengthy, it’s all about other people’s opinions, it’s so shameless!

“If you want to solve border troubles, you must first understand their composition and development and evolution, and then deduce who is the biggest threat, and then focus on targeting them. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be in danger.

Currently, there are two main forces that are constantly at war with our country, the Tartars and the Jianlu.Let's talk about the Tartars first. In the third year of Hongwu, the Ming army broke through Yingchang Road. Emperor Huizong of the Yuan Dynasty favored the prince Aiyou Shili Dalabei of Mu'er and proclaimed himself emperor. The country was still called Dayuan.

In the fifth year of Hongwu, Xu Da, Li Wenzhong, and Feng Sheng failed in their Northern Expedition, and the Ming Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty were able to move north and south.In the 11th year of Hongwu's reign, Togu Si Timur succeeded to the throne and was called Usahar Khan.

In the 22nd year of Hongwu, Lan Yu defeated the Yuan army at Yuerhai and captured Dibaonu, the youngest son of Emperor Tianyuan.Tianyuan Emperor Togusi Timur and his eldest son Tianbaonu and other dozens of horses fled. On the way, they were killed by Yesudier, a descendant of Ali Buge. The inheritance of Kublai Khan was interrupted, and the Yuan Dynasty existed in name only.

Since then, various tribes in the grassland and desert have been fighting among themselves. In less than a hundred years, more than a dozen great khans have appeared, including descendants of Kublai Khan, Ali Buge, Ogodai, Genghis Khan's younger brother and Sa'ar descendants, as well as Among the Oara people, there were even times when two great Khans stood side by side.

It was not until Ye Xian's death that the position of Great Khan of Mongolia returned to the hands of the Golden Family. The most important one was a woman named Mandu Hai.She was the wife of Mandulu Khan, the twelfth grandson of Genghis Khan. After her husband's death, in order to ensure the succession of the Khan, she married the son of Mandulu's grandnephew, Bayan Mengke.

She was 29 years old at the time, and Bayan Meng was only 4 years old. According to our Han customs, Bayan Meng was equivalent to marrying his great-uncle.It was this woman who trained Bayan Munch into a great man, and eventually became the Great Khan of Mongolia, also known as Dayan Khan.

Emperor Wuzong once fought a battle with a young Mongolian prince in Yingzhou. This young prince was the young Dayan Khan.More than [-] people on both sides fought hard for several hours, with less than a hundred casualties. What a great victory!
Dear friends, if one day I lead a large army out of the border to meet the enemy, and kill hundreds or thousands of enemies in formation, how should you use the Spring and Autumn Brushwork?It is best not to have such ridiculous things happen in this dynasty in the future.

Face is important, but lessons are more important. Only by being willing to admit mistakes can we sum up experiences and lessons with peace of mind, so that future generations know what to do correctly and not to make the same mistakes again and again! "

Since he ascended the throne, Hong Tao has had several opportunities to speak at length at court meetings and imperial meetings, but the content was mostly about disputes in the court, and the format was relatively small and not very enjoyable.

Today can be considered a major strategic topic. It is the top officials of the Ming Dynasty who are educating them, so they must be very emotional.Then the old habit happened again, going off topic while talking, and firing map cannons, and by analyzing the battles of the previous dynasty, all the officials of the current dynasty were also sprayed.
