Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 295 Wenzhi with the left hand and martial arts with the right hand Many important ministers left the town
Will Mongolian Yuan rise again?
This question involves a huge strategic situation, and Xu Heng, who has been in the field for a long time, may not be able to give a definite answer.

Zhu Qiyu used this question to make it difficult for Xu Yongning, who was only 12 years old, which was a bit too much.

Xu Yongning thought about it for a moment, and admitted honestly that he couldn't answer this question.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Try to analyze and analyze, speak casually, don't be afraid of making mistakes. Let's chat behind closed doors, and no one will laugh at you if you say something wrong."

Xu Yongning nodded: "Now the Mengyuan is divided into three major forces, Yexian, Ala, and Tuotuobuhua. On the left and right wings of the Mengyuan, there are Jurchen and Dongchahetai respectively.

During His Majesty's reign, these forces must not be integrated, and can only be manipulated by His Majesty to attack each other.

But after your majesty, after 50 or 100 years, there will be a mediocre master.

And once the national power of the Ming Dynasty declines, it cannot be ruled out that a Genghis Khan-like figure will reappear in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and reunify the Mongolian tribes. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded and looked at Li Xuan again.

Li Xuan also nodded: "I think so too, the big man has already proved that no matter how powerful the country is, it is difficult to eradicate the nomadic tribes in the grassland.

These tribes on the grassland are really endless wildfires, and they are born again when the spring breeze blows.

Just like the current Yexian, he fled to Tieliangguti, and it was too difficult for the Ming army to chase and destroy Yexian.Moreover, if the Ming army really did not go far and launched an attack, the flanks would be exposed to the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the Timurid Empire.

If the two countries were also united first, and the Ming army had a three-way attack, the entire army would be wiped out in an instant.

Therefore, Meng Yuan is really too difficult to deal with. I think that if the right time, location, and harmony are available at the same time, Meng Yuan may rise again. "

Speaking of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and the Timur Empire, Zhu Qiyu suddenly deviated from the topic: "Huaiyi, I remember that your grandfather seemed to be the first general of Gansu, right?"

Li Xuan replied: "Yes, in the 27th year of Hongwu, my grandfather was appointed as General Pingqiang and the general officer to guard Gansu."

"Well, then, are you interested in serving as the Protector of the Western Regions, concurrently serving as the Chief Military Officer of Gansu, stationed in Ganzhou, and running the Western Regions for me?

You have to think about this question before answering it. The responsibility of the Western Regions Protector is very important.Not only to consolidate the Gansu defense line, completely eliminate the threat of the Mongolian tribes to the Hexi Corridor, but also be responsible for the elimination of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate for me. "

Zhu Qiyu's arrangement was based on two considerations: First, Li Jinglong was the first commander-in-chief of Gansu. Now it is a good story to let his grandson take over as the commander-in-chief of Gansu.

Moreover, the frontier troops in Ganzhou, Suzhou, and Liangzhou are brave and elite, and the position of Gansu General Soldier must be his own direct line.

Secondly, during my time in power, I must have the merit of destroying the country, so that I can be worthy of being the supremacy of the world.

Zhu Qiyu searched the map for a long time. North Korea is a loyal vassal state, and it must not be destroyed.

It is not enough to destroy Jurchen, and Jurchen cannot be regarded as a 'country' anyway at this time.

Then we can only kill the cochin.But Jiaozhi is not considered a country, at least in Zhu Qiyu's place, he will never admit that Jiaozhi is a country.

So after looking around, only the East Chagatai Khanate occupying Xinjiang is more in line with Zhu Qiyu's requirements.

Although the Eastern Chagatai Khanate is also a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qiyu firmly believes that there will always be an excuse to send troops.

Anyway, during Zhu Qiyu's administration, he will definitely destroy the country and put together all the martial arts and martial arts.

Li Xuan also understood that although Gansu was remote, the emperor had given him a good job, so Dang even made a firm and sincere statement.

Zhu Qiyu nodded in satisfaction: "I won't discuss the specific strategy with you, you go to Gansu to defend for three to five years, listen and watch more, don't worry about using troops abroad.

After all the cronies have been cultivated and the other party is familiar with all aspects, I will return to Beijing to report on my work, and we will discuss it at that time.

Just in the past three to five years, there have been a lot of disputes in the capital. It is best for you young people to go out and concentrate on fighting, and don't get involved in the vortex of political struggles. "

Hearing this, Li Xuan quickly thanked her. It is really hard to find such a leader who considers carefully for his cronies.

Zhu Qiyu got back to the topic again: "It is impossible for Mongolia to rise again. But the Jurchen Ministry has a chance to rise suddenly.

It is the Nuer Gandusi abandoned by Emperor Xuanzong, a place that everyone despises, including Savage Jurchen, Haixi Jurchen, and Jianzhou Jurchen. Once this group of people becomes popular, it will be very troublesome. "

Li Xuan and Xu Yongning are still very humble and teachable. Although it was difficult to accept Zhu Qiyu's point of view for a while, they did not question it immediately.

Xu Yongning became interested, and he was full of anticipation to go to inspect Liaodong as soon as possible.

Zhu Qiyu stretched his waist: "Let's go, everyone. Today, I'm really tired. I'll talk to you another day."

The three princes stood up and resigned, and Zhu Qiyu went home to sleep.

The next day, the [-]th day of the first lunar month.

This was the last day of the first month, Zhu Qiyu got up early, began to meet the civil servants and generals who were dispatched abroad, and bid farewell to everyone.

Zhu Qiyu met Xu Youzhen first, and now that the weather is getting warmer, it's time for Xu Youzhen to leave Beijing to control the floods of the Yellow River and visit Shandong along the way.

Zhu Qiyu was patient again, listening to Xu Youzhen talk about a lot of professional river control issues.After listening to it, Zhu Qiyu only felt dizzy, but still forced himself to ask, "Xu Aiqing, if you have any other requests, just ask."

Xu Youzhen replied: "I need to mobilize the authority to prepare Japanese soldiers and Shandong local guards."

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Yes, I will give an order to Shandong Dusi. As long as it is a guard under the jurisdiction of Shandong Dusi, you can transfer it as you like."

After Xu Youzhen thanked the emperor, she took out another list and handed it over: "Your Majesty, these are officials and craftsmen who have the ability to control rivers and are willing to endure hardships and stand hard work to control floods.

The positions suitable for them are listed above, please allow your Majesty to approve it at your discretion. "

"That's right."

Zhu Qiyu took the list and handed it to He Yi without looking at it.

Xu Youzhen wanted to take advantage of river governance to select talents for the court and at the same time cultivate some cronies, which is also human nature.

Harnessing the river is very bitter, and from the beginning of Taizu to the end of Chongzhen, the Ming emperors of all dynasties were not interested in controlling floods and building water conservancy, or no emperor was interested in it at all.

The emperor didn't pay much attention to it, so naturally few people were willing to devote themselves to the cause of river control.

As a result, river management talents are extremely scarce.

And Xu Youzhen is the best among the best when it comes to river governance.

Moreover, Zhu Qiyu is different from other emperors in Ming Dynasty. He regards the management of floods and the construction of water conservancy as one of his most important cultural and political achievements.

In this way, Xu Youzhen became Zhu Qiyu's precious lump, who could not be beaten, scolded, or spoken, and had to be coaxed the whole time.

In history, Zhu Qiyu regarded Shi Heng as a treasure, and abandoned Xu Youzhen like a shoe; now Zhu Qiyu regards Xu Youzhen as a treasure, and discarded Shi Heng like a shoe, and it's completely reversed.
