eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 436

Li Dongyang's abacus beaded loudly, obviously he was pushing the double set to the top, but in fact he was allocating one or two million taels to the double set.

Anyway, Emperor Zhengde had been in that position for a long time, and most of his courtiers understood that the surplus money of the court was either used for important military and political affairs such as reconciliation, or it was used for practical matters such as people's livelihood.

It's amazing to allocate Wang Shouren's 10 taels of silver for the navy's military pay, but this year's usable taels have exceeded 700 million taels, and if there is a reason to build a library, there is still a lot left.

The elders and bachelors all speak decent words, and when it's their turn to fight for money, they are really ruthless.

"Your Majesty, I have an instruction book."

A man came out from the back of the line of the Ministry of War. He had a straight face with Chinese characters and a long beard, but he was still a handsome bearded man.

Zhu Houzhao remembered him as Yang Zengrong, a member of the military department who was going to be recruited for two years.

"In the first year of Zhengde, the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars fought on the grasslands. In this battle, the situation between the enemy and ourselves has obviously changed, and the grasslands are bound to fall into infighting. Sharp blades, generals, brave as tigers and leopards, with a surplus of tens of millions of taels of silver in the treasury. This is a god-given opportunity. If your majesty wants to drive the grasslands northward and establish the momentum of the Han and Tang Dynasties, it is time to launch the northern expedition this year. If God does not take it, you will suffer the blame .When Dayan Khan unifies Mongolia, then it will be ten times more difficult to get back up than it is today!"

"absurd!"

As soon as Yang Zengrong finished speaking, someone interrupted him.

The speaker was none other than Henan governor Peng Ze.

He shook his sleeves and cupped his hands at Zhu Houzhao, "Your Majesty, Sun Tzu's art of war says: Soldiers are important matters for a country, the land of death and life, and the way of life and death. You must pay attention to it. When a large army conquers Tartar, every move will shake the whole country. It is less than two years since your Majesty ascended the throne." In [-], the situation in the world and the balance of the treasury had just improved, and it was time to rest with the people and apply benevolent government in order to hope for a great order in the world. How could we lightly start a war?
Furthermore, I am not ignorant of the Tatar situation, but I don't know whether to fight or not to fight this year, let alone what the fight will be.Even if they really fight, ordinary masters know the truth of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight. Since it is a fight between the left and right wings of Mongolia, let them fight for a few years first.They are exhausted, and it is the best policy for us to wait for work at leisure.

Moreover, Dayan Khan did not have the strength to quickly unify the right-wing Mongolia. If not, there is no such thing as a "gifted opportunity", and Mongolia should have been unified long ago! "

Yang Zengrong refused at all, "According to what Peng Zhongcheng said, it's too early to reapply in three years, and it would be better to wait another three to five years, wouldn't it?"

Zhu Houzhao raised his eyelids, he was not happy to wait like this.He understands the principle of haste makes waste, but if you don't hurry up to deal with this potential opponent when you have the strength, what are you waiting for?

Waiting for the enemy to weaken himself?

If you have this illusion in your heart, you are not worthy of being a strong man.

When several people in the cabinet heard this, their hearts also tensed up.This Yang Zengrong is not a good quarrel, he hit more than seven inches at once. Today's dispute, after many quarrels, is still the emperor's will.

The young emperor, the emperor, just wanted to make a difference, how could he wait a few more years.The key to waiting is to expect that the enemy will become weaker. This is nonsense. Damn, what if they really become unified and stronger?

Dayan Khan is not some incompetent leader.

On this point, Peng Ze's extravagant rhetoric is actually useless.Maybe it will have the opposite effect.

But Peng Ze is not stupid, he immediately understood the insidiousness of Yang Zengrong's words, "Don't talk about him, when did I say you have to wait another three to five years?"

"Then what Peng Zhongcheng means is next year."

There seems to be a trap in this statement?
Peng Ze didn't dare to answer for a while.

Zhang Fuhua, the censor of Zuodu came out tremblingly, and saluted Zhu Houzhao, "Your Majesty swore an oath when he established the national policy, that he would take back the millions of acres of fertile land on both sides of the Hetao in this life, and if he fails to achieve it in one year, it will be three years. If it doesn't work in three years, it won't work in five or five years, even if it takes ten or 20 years! Listening to His Majesty's words that day, the old minister just felt so excited and unable to control himself. Moreover, the old minister remembered His Majesty's repeated orders, and governing the country is based on pragmatism. First. And if the five-year repayment is better than the three-year repayment, will the imperial court still give priority to the best?"

The emperor generally doesn't mess around when he is in power, so Zhu Houzhao can only answer one answer to this sentence.

And answered, the advantages established by Yang Zengrong will no longer exist.

So the bearded man glanced at the old guy with some dissatisfaction.

Of course, you still have to listen to the emperor.

Zhu Houzhao has a clear understanding of their thoughts, and if it is three years or two years, he will not have much advantage. If this "contraption" is not understood, Yang Zengrong will say that they died here.

"Recovery is state affairs, and state affairs must not be taken lightly. Of course, the best is the priority."

Zhang Fuhua was somewhat satisfied and somewhat dissatisfied after hearing this. What was satisfied was that the emperor followed his words, and what was dissatisfied was that he did not say death.

In terms of cunning, the emperor is not bad.

Yang Zengrong responded quickly, the best, the best, how can you prove that waiting here for three to five years is the best?So, what is the emperor's mind, this is another matter.

"Your Majesty! I believe that the opportunity will never come again, and there are millions of acres of fertile land in Hetao. The sooner it is captured, the court can cultivate it sooner. After the First World War, the situation on the frontier will be greatly eased, which is beneficial to the country. , which is more beneficial to the people of the world.”

"Impossible! In matters of the battlefield, do not think about victory, but think about defeat first. Since you can be safe, why would you take risks? This is to put His Majesty and the people of the world in a negligent position! Your Majesty, this person is doing everything for his own selfishness. Disregarding the country, the country and the country, the wolf's ambition is clearly revealed, I ask your majesty to kill this person, so as to uphold the righteousness of the court!"

"emperor……"

For this matter, the two parties fought and quarreled, and Zhu Houzhao's head hurt from hearing it.

In the end, he had no choice but to see Yang Yiqing in the presence of the old god,

"Yang Aiqing, you are the elder of the cabinet and the governor of the three sides. You have everything in your heart. What do you think should be done?"

Yang Yiqing raised his hand, "I am acting according to the king's order. For more than a year, I have been preparing for the frontier, storing food and grass, training soldiers, and greatly increasing the combat power. Even if you don't mention these things, as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, even if you die in battle, you will die." Therefore, I have no other thoughts. If the court decides today, I will go to war today; if it makes tomorrow, I will go to war tomorrow. There is no sage above the emperor, and everything is subject to the emperor's holy will."

Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes, this old fox.

"Your Majesty." Liu Jin said from the side.

"Ok?"

"I don't want to assassinate the general, it's here."

"Xuan." Zhu Houzhao flicked his sleeves.

Neither stabbed nor surprised,

He is not a child, as a general, Zhu Houzhao treated him well enough.He also knows that some sensitive things should be avoided.So Dachao would not look for him, he thought it was normal, and suddenly announced him, he was a little uncomfortable.

"My humble minister, Yongxiebu will not sting, see His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty."

He still wears Mongolian clothes and behaves according to Mongolian etiquette.

"Flat body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Yong Xiebu, today I am discussing with the ministers in the court about reconciliation. One side thinks that this year they will chase into the grasslands and help the two right-wing households of Tumed and Ordos to resist Dayan Khan, while the other side thinks , you should sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and wait for them to fight and lose both. You come from the grassland and know more about it. What do you think Daming should do at this time? Or to ask more specifically, what do you think Dayan Khan will do this year? Attack Tumed and Ordos?"

A Ming emperor said something like this to a Mongol.These words are really spicy.

It's not that he doesn't know the situation. In fact, he doesn't understand what the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty are fighting for. He is considering the emperor's wishes and his own interests.

"I think that Dayan Khan will definitely raise troops this year, and if His Majesty still wants to subdue Tumed and Ordos, he must send troops as soon as possible. Otherwise, all the men will be wiped out, leaving only old people and children. Your Majesty, you want old and weak women and children Is it really useful?"

At this point, some people in the room are happy and some are worried.

"Your Majesty!" Li Dongyang, the elder of the cabinet, couldn't hold back, "Old minister, I have something to say."
