I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 685: Nobles versus civil servants

Chapter 685: Nobles versus civil servants
Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but look at Xiong Tingbi and asked unhurriedly:

"I told you before about how to deal with Lin Dan Khan. What do you think? Do you think my method is feasible?"

The four Xiong Tingbi had different expressions when they heard this. They understood that this matter was the main reason for calling them over for discussion.However, Lin Danhan's status was too important, making it difficult for them to make a decision and they had differences.

The Ming Dynasty and Mongolia are old enemies. They have been fighting since the founding of the country until now, and both sides have their own victories and defeats.

But since Longqing, the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia have generally been at peace with each other, and no major wars have occurred.Therefore, officials, especially civilian officials, did not have a strong need to pacify Mongolia.

Therefore, when the emperor made this request, the Minister of Military and Aircraft Sun Chengzong was the first to stand up and object.

He felt that this matter was too dangerous. If the matter was exposed, it would definitely lead to a bad relationship between Ming Dynasty and Mongolia.When trouble breaks out again, causing the Mongolian tribes to quarrel with the Ming Dynasty and continue to send troops southward, there will be trouble.It is better to protect the environment and the people and repair internal affairs.

Besides, now that Jianlu has been destroyed, the imperial court has occupied Horqin and Liaohetao, and the rebuilt Nurgandusi, the territory of Liaodong relations has reached its maximum scope. There is really no need to attack Lin Dan Khan anymore, it is better to make peace with him.

However, Zhang Weixian, Chen Liangbi and Xiong Tingbi had completely opposite opinions.

They know the strength of Lin Danhan best. Compared with the Ming Dynasty troops and horses that have gone through the Liaodong War, their military strength is very weak. Now is a good opportunity to destroy Chahar.

So the two sides argued again. In the end, for some unknown reason, Ye Xianggao and others also knew the news and came to support Sun Chengzong.However, Zhang Weixian directly rejected the decision on the grounds that it was a major military aircraft issue and could not be discussed unless he was ordered by the emperor to do so.

"Your Majesty, I and others must complete their merits in one battle. Lin Dan Khan is very ambitious and is not willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, I think it is better to deal with it together."

"Okay, I think so too."

Seeing Xiong Tingbi agree so simply, Zhu Youxiao was overjoyed.Sun Chengzong on the side wanted to say something when he saw this, but saw Zhu Youxiao was so happy, so he held it back.

"Then it's settled. When the time comes, I will ask the Jin Yiwei to cooperate and secretly spread the whereabouts of Lin Dan Khan in Chahanhot. Let Huang Taiji and Lin Dan Khan fight. No matter who wins, he will be our opponent."

"Your Majesty, after all, Lin Dan Khan has made an alliance with the Ming Dynasty. If he knows that the Ming Dynasty is behaving like this, I am afraid that the Mongolian tribes will become disloyal."

After hearing Zhu Youxiao's plan, Sun Chengzong couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately handed over his hand and wanted to give advice.But Zhu Youxiao laughed when he heard this and said to Sun Chengzong:
"That's very simple, just don't let him know about it. If God doesn't give it, you will be blamed. Since our Ming Dynasty wants to attack Chahanhot, if we don't go all out to eradicate Chahar and complete the unfinished business of our Ming Dynasty for a hundred years. Otherwise My Taizu and Chengzu know well, and they will definitely complain about me.

Besides, as long as we capture Chahar, we can ensure the safety of Liaodong and Gyeonggi in the Ming Dynasty.It also gives our Ming Dynasty a bridgehead to attack the grassland. When the time comes, the right-wing Mongolia and Mobei Mongolia will also be under our Ming Dynasty's military front. "

Seeing the emperor so high-spirited, Sun Chengzong sighed secretly.Since the extermination of the Jianlu, the emperor has really become more and more "arrogant".

To pacify Mongolia was something that none of the Ming Dynasty monarchs had accomplished, and now he was actually starting to make plans.

Contrary to Sun Chengzong, Chen Liangbi, Xiong Tingbi and others were also very high-spirited when they heard what the emperor said.They and their former subordinates were all the biggest beneficiaries of the Ming Dynasty's martial arts, and each received a knighthood for their military exploits.

Except for their few high knighthoods, due to the special design of the new knighthood system, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the knighthoods of others.

Therefore, both the new nobles and generals have a very strong desire to fight and are very supportive of sending troops to Mongolia.

Zhu Youxiao also saw everyone's reaction and was very satisfied.

Isn't this the meaning of promoting old nobles and canonizing new nobles?As the nobles participate in the government, they can no longer rely on eunuchs. Relying only on the nobles can limit the voice of civilian officials, especially regarding military matters.

"In that case, let's make this decision first. In addition, let Yang Zhaoji, the commander-in-chief of Xuanda, be prepared. The remnants of Lin Dan Khan are in the Haraqin (Harashen) tribe in the hometown of Shangdu in the outer Yuan Dynasty of Xuanfu. Let him keep an eye on it. , once Lin Dan Khan died and Chahanhot was captured, Yang Zhaoji immediately led his people northward to gather Lin Dan Khan’s remaining horse tribe, not to let other tribes take advantage.”

"I will obey your orders!"

After Lin Danhan's matter is confirmed, Japan will be next.

As for Japan, Zhu Youxiao would not let the Ming Dynasty's troops end unless he had no choice but to do so. Shipping by sea was really troublesome.Secondly, Japanese culture is almost its own, and even assimilation and colonization need to be carefully planned.

Therefore, he adopted the strategy of driving away wolves and devouring tigers, in other words, it was called a proxy war.

Let Yan Siqi raise troops in Kyushu, Japan, and Ming Dynasty will provide support from behind, constantly consuming the national power of the Japanese shogunate. When the time is right, Ming Dynasty will come down again and clean up the mess.

The most critical step in Japan's current plan is Ryukyu.

The Satsuma clan, the strongest clan in Kyushu, Japan, controls Ryukyu and intends to make money by paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty in the name of Ryukyu.If the Ming Dynasty could lead the soldiers and horses of the Satsuma clan to Ryukyu, they could encircle and destroy them.It can not only help Ryukyu break away from Japan and return to the embrace of the Ming Dynasty, but also help Yan Siqi's military affairs in Kyushu.

"Yesterday, the commander of the Jinyiwei, Luo Sigong, reported to me that the Jinyiwei people have arrived in Ryukyu. It is estimated that they will take action against the Japanese in the name of the Ryukyu court in the next few days. By then, Satsuma Domain will definitely send troops to suppress Ryukyu, so we asked Nan The Zhili navy and troops must be prepared and ready to send troops at any time."

Xiong Tingbi and others naturally took this matter to heart. Seeing Zhu Youxiao's concern, Xiong Tingbi immediately bowed and replied:
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. According to the report from Yuan Keli, Governor of Southern Zhili, Qi Jin has been training troops and horses in Southern Zhili for half a year. Now the troops are ready and ready to send troops at any time. Even Wang Jianzhong, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Navy, boasted about Haikou , saying that there is no need to send troops to Ryukyu, as long as we understand the movements of the Japanese Satsuma Domain in advance and destroy their troops at sea."

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he immediately laughed.This Wang Jianzhong was quite arrogant and actually wanted to win the naval battle.

"Haha, if this is true, I will rest assured. This will not only reduce casualties, but also test the achievements of the South Zhili Navy. I just don't know if they have this strength."
