Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 116

To be honest, Zhu Qiyu had a bit of a headache.

With Yin Jian from his previous life in front of him, he didn't want Yu Qian to shoulder so many things anymore.

It sounds nice to try to save the sky, but it is actually not a good thing for the ministers.

In today's court, there are not many ministers with deep seniority and high status, but there are also some.

Wang Zhi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Hu Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, are not veterans of several dynasties.

Faced with this situation, none of them were able to stand out, but they pushed out Yu Qian who had just been promoted from the servant. Is it really because they are not capable enough?
The reason, on the one hand, is the fear of improper command and ruining the reputation, and on the other hand, I am afraid that there is also an element of worrying about the master of high meritorious service.

In the previous life, the reason why Zhu Qiyu was so trustworthy was more important than modesty.

In addition to trusting his character and ability, it is actually a bit of a last resort.

After all, under the circumstances at that time, all the officials in the capital were at a loss for what to do. Only Yu Qian stood up, insisted on fighting to the death, and took the lead in proposing to establish a new monarch.

After that, he supervised the internal and external defense of the capital, changed the regiment battalion, fixed the border policy, and issued an order.

Forcibly relying on less than [-] old and weak officers and troops in the capital, they repelled Yexian's army and saved the capital.

This credit is well known in the world, if it is not reused, it will not be justified.

The so-called fire cooks oil, flowers bloom brocade.

Too much credit is not a good thing.

So after the restoration of Nangong, when Zhu Qizhen wanted to kill someone, Yu Qian was the first one he chose.

It's not because of anything else, but because he is too prominent, if he is not killed, Zhu Qizhen will not be able to sit on the dragon chair at all.

On the contrary, Wang Zhi and others, who have been unknown to the public for a long time, made their official careers in peace and stability.

In the court situation, being wise and safe is the way to stability.

Of course, Zhu Qiyu knew in his heart that Yu Qian was not ignorant of his situation.

With his resourcefulness, when he stands up to take charge of the overall situation, he will definitely be able to realize the situation that may be encountered in the future.

Even if there is no Nangong Restoration to kill him, there is a high possibility that he will have a rare and good death. After all, since ancient times, the one with the highest merit has shaken the master.

But having said that, a person like him, with one thought in his heart, never avoids life and death, even if he knows, he will still stand up.

In this life, in order to win the defense of Beijing, Zhu Qiyu still used Yu Qian, but he didn't want Yu Qian to show off too much.

only……

This gang of relatives is too unreasonable!
Zhao Rong's claim is a joke.

In the previous life, Zhu Qiyu handed over the defense of the capital to Yu Qian, but he also felt that at least his relatives were better at fighting, so he listened to their advice and divided his troops into various passes.

As a result, as soon as they were dispersed, it didn't take long for the army to press up. The main direction of attack was the Bauhinia, Longmen, Aries and other critical passes.

Those small passes are safe, but the army will invade first, and it is difficult to quickly integrate the forces.

These critical gates collapsed one after another under the strong attack, and the army drove straight in first, reaching the capital!

So dividing up the troops at this time is the real courting of death!
Frowning, Zhu Qiyu didn't open his mouth to comment on the propositions of the two of them, but opened his mouth to ask Chen Mao who was beside him.

"Marquis Ningyang, you have been guarding the border for many years, and you know a lot about Oirat. I think Marquis Chen has a different opinion on the strategy of border defense?"

Old Hou Ye can't listen to it anymore!

The first thing he did when he came back was to go through all the military newspapers after the civil engineering change, and he could naturally notice that the plan was very big first.

In terms of judgment direction, he and Yu Qian are the same.

Kindness does not hold the army!

It is also unwise to send rangers to harass first, although it will make life very difficult for the generals, but it is unwise to disrupt one's own border defense arrangements.

Oala doesn't really need these small passes.

There are too many passes in the pass, and if one is knocked down, it won't be long before Sun An's reinforcements arrive, and they will be taken back immediately.

Except for those critical passes, it is meaningless to fight the other wala.

So they kept harassing, burning, killing and looting every one they killed, and then retreating, which was forcing Daming to divide its troops to garrison.

But at this time, dividing the troops is tantamount to tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall.

Old Hou Ye dared to bet that as long as Daming divides his troops in the front and the main force in the back, he will immediately pounce on him.

At that time, it will be too late to defend, and the troops in a single pass will be difficult to resist Yexian's main force. The real disaster will be the capture of Zijing, Juyong and other important places.

In the final analysis, it was the consequence of the Civil War. If there was no Civil War, Ming Dynasty would still have more than [-] troops to mobilize, so how could it have encountered such a predicament.

The one in front of him, Guo Sheng, who didn't understand anything, was enough to make the old Hou feel depressed.

This Zhao Rong looks useful, but he is actually an idiot!

With a dark face, Chen Mao stood up and bowed, saying.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible to divide the troops, but the frontier generals are unable to defend the city, and they will surely shake people's hearts. It is not a long-term solution. What our army needs at this moment is not only more troops to garrison, but more importantly, a big victory !"

"Therefore, in the opinion of the old minister, Sun An's [-]-strong army does not need to be divided. He can choose a brave general to lead [-] partial divisions, a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, to raid the Oala tribe, plunder their cattle and sheep, and destroy their tribes. Killing its people can also boost the morale of the army, and it can also make the Oirat army unstable and caught off guard!"

"At the same time, in order to stabilize the minds of the guards, we can strengthen the walls and clear the fields at each pass, abandon some unimportant passes, and combine defenses at every two to three passes, so that the shortage of troops can be solved. We can only return in dismay, if we take advantage of this opportunity to send out our army first, we can order Sun An to lead the army to reinforce quickly."

The murderous intent that Old Hou Ye said left all the officials in the hall speechless for a while.

It should be said that before this war, the relationship between Wala and Daming was good.

Although small-scale conflicts continue to appear, as a Mongolian tribe that officially pays tribute to Ming Dynasty, the overall relationship is still good.

On the contrary, among Wala himself, due to reasons such as water sources and pastures, there are often violent fights.

For this reason, there are many small tribes in Wala who are constantly moving inward to the Ming Dynasty.

For these small tribes, the benefits of inward migration are many.

First of all, near the border of Ming Dynasty, there are many places with rich water and grass, which are good pastures for them who live nomadicly.

Secondly, although the Ming Dynasty has not opened up the mutual market, there are still many businessmen who are desperate and willing to cross the border to trade, but they have to cross the border for hundreds of miles, and the Ming Dynasty's army will patrol irregularly, so they often don't go too deep. .

It is also much more convenient to relocate the tribe to the border and make secret transactions.

In addition, every autumn and winter, or when the tribes lost their battles and resources were scarce, these tribes would also organize young and strong members of the tribe to sneak across the border and plunder the villages and towns of Daming.

Since Daming and Wala were still at peace, both sides ignored such small-scale looting by default.

Of course, it doesn’t matter whether it’s two-way, that is, Daming won’t go to Wala for a theory because of being looted, but if he encounters patrolling officers and soldiers during the looting, he is killed on the spot, or is beaten by the militia organized by the local people on the spot. Die, Wala also admits himself.

After a long time, there are actually quite a few Oala sub-clans thriving on the border of Ming Dynasty.

The meaning of the old master is very simple. They rob Daming, and Daming robs them. Not only do they want to rob, but they also want to wipe out their tribe directly, so as to teach Wala a lesson.

Of course, this approach is contrary to the concept of a saint, so some ministers immediately stood up to oppose it.

"Mr. Chen's words are wrong. How can we, a country of great etiquette, behave the same as captives and thieves?"

The speaker was Chen Xun, the cabinet minister. He was born in the Imperial Academy and was very sensitive to such matters.

Faced with Chen Xun's questioning, Old Master Chen was very calm, said.

"You might as well tell the people on the border who have been looted all year round. This method was not created by the Marquis. The officers and soldiers have already had it."

"What's more, my Ming Dynasty is also in a state of hostility. The two armies are at war. Of course, whatever method is useful will be used. Etiquette and righteousness cannot be used on the battlefield!"

This is true, Da Ming has not completely lost his bravery until now.

The people at the frontier, Min Zhuang, were looted, and as long as they were caught alive, they would force them to find out where the tribe was located, go there at night, and also beat, smashed, burned, and looted.

Not only ordinary people, but many frontier generals often take off their uniforms with their officers and soldiers to do this kind of thing.

It's just that at most they just plundered some things, and they didn't put them on the surface, and they weren't as ruthless as the old master said.

However, when one end is pressed down, the other end floats up again.

Chen Yi, the censor of Zuodu, stepped forward and said.

"What Chen Hou said certainly has some truth. If our passes are combined for defense, there will inevitably be loopholes in the original defense network."

"What's more, the situation is critical now, and I, Ming, don't have the advantage. Even if there is going to be a war in the end, as long as we can start the war one day later, I will be more prepared for it."

"If you do this dangerous thing rashly and plunder the tribe, if you are angry, first, it will damage my etiquette state, and second, if you also raise troops immediately because of this, it will not be good for my Ming Dynasty."
