Chapter 312

Liu Ruoyu couldn't help being startled, and dragged Xu Xianchun to the green gauze closet behind a screen, and asked, "What's the urgent matter?"

Xu Xianchun hurriedly listened to Liu Ruoyu and said something, but Liu Ruoyu's expression was a little indifferent, without any emotional expression, and told Xu Xianchun:

"Let the Jin Yiwei in Liaodong investigate in detail. If it's just the usual looting, it's not a big deal. At that time, send envoys to blame and punish the first offender;

If there is any conspiracy to take the opportunity to provoke my Daming to make military affairs, report it immediately!At the same time, pay attention to the movements of Jiannu and Wuxiang, and make sure to find out whether there is any collusion between the three! "

"Leader!"

Xu Xianchun really wanted to say that Jin Yiwei had been paying attention, but now that Eunuch Liu was busy negotiating military plans with His Majesty, he didn't seem to have much to say, so he withdrew.

Here, Liu Ruoyu walked in and went straight to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, Xu Xianchun, the commander of Jinyiwei, just brought news that the Horqin Department took advantage of the opportunity of my important officials from Liaodong to go to Beijing to report on their duties, and suddenly attacked Liaoyang Prefecture. Yuan Tuntian More than a dozen regiment fortresses were breached, more than 4000 soldiers and civilians were killed, and Dongjiang Kong Youde's troops have retreated to Phoenix City."

Originally, they were still scolding Fang Qiu with His Majesty on the huge map wall of Xinuang Pavilion, and the officials who pointed out the country were stunned.

And Zhu Youxiao also stopped the hand that was about to slap on the armrest in mid-air, and immediately got up, snatching the chalk from Lu Xiangsheng's hand.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao ordered Chang Yanling and Qin Botong on the side to lower the map, and then he came to the map of Liaodong, took a chalk and drew a circle to where Horqin was, and was about to find As for the location of Liaoyang, Lu Xiangsheng came forward and immediately pointed out the location of Liaoyang, and said:
"Your Majesty, this is Phoenix City. This area is mostly dense forests, with few people. Since I took office, I have ordered Mao Wenlong to cut trees and build more than [-] castles here, and reclaim thousands of acres of land, but the castles are all on the spot. I used a wooden city to make the wall, and I thought that after the weather warmed up, I would recruit a group of people from the interior to cultivate and re-cover the bricks, but I didn't expect this Tartar to be so bold that he dared to plunder my people!"

As Lu Xiangsheng spoke, he bowed his hands to Zhu Youxiao and said, "I have neglected my duty, please punish me."

But at this time, Sun Chengzong stood up:

"You can't blame Mr. Lu Ge for this matter. These northern Mongolian tribes, like Jiannu, often plundered our borders, robbed cattle and sheep, and plundered people. Large, ranging from hundreds of riders to dozens of riders, and destroying dozens of villages is also common. When our army was mobilized to prepare for the fight, he withdrew back, which made our army very embarrassed. It's not surprising, not to mention, now is not the time to offend the Mongolian Ministry, or else we should let our flags die down."

Zhu Youxiao did not speak, but continued to look at the map. The entire Liaodong region was centered on Shengjing, which is now occupied by Jiannu, namely Shenyang. The south is now the most important pass in Ming Dynasty - Shanhaiguan!
The north side of Shanhaiguan is adjacent to the Chahar Department, and the Chahar Department is next to the Khalkha Department. Between the Khalkha Department and the Qing Dynasty are the Horqin Department and the Tumote Department. The left wing of the Horqin Department is not far from Haizhouwei , but recklessly entering the Liaohe territory will inevitably arouse the vigilance of Wuxiang and Jiannu, but now both parties are blind, and the castle newly reclaimed by the Ming Dynasty is robbed by the Horqin tribe under their noses. Yes, more than [-] people have been lost!
Although human life is as cheap as a dog these days, let alone in the areas outside the customs, it has always been the norm in the Ming Dynasty to abandon cities and people, but now they are shocked to hear that more than [-] people have been killed. For officials in border towns who are used to seeing life and death It can't make them fly into a rage because of this, and they can't wait to take revenge immediately.

Because of this, Sun Chengzong also put forward the theory of "suppressing the flag and quieting the drum".

At this time, Wang Zaijin also stood up: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I think what Xin Chengbo (Sun Chengzong) said is very true. Now the situation in Liaodong seems to be stable, but there is an undercurrent. The soldiers of the Dongjiang River have formed a three-legged confrontation. The most important thing now is who the Mongolian tribes in northern Serbia support. Now, because His Majesty allows bilateral trade, the Horqin tribe and the Khalkha tribe have changed from being close to Jiannu to my Daming. Phenomena, if this is the case, it is unwise for us to provoke the Horqin tribe rashly, and it will completely push the Mongolian tribes to the Jiannu side."

Zhu Youxiao still didn't speak. Although he had already made a decision in his heart, as a decision maker, he would not easily express his thoughts, especially when it involved the national strategy level.

At least you can't let these big officials see your own thoughts, otherwise these fine-looking senior officials will follow their own ideas and not express their true opinions.

Now that he has been the emperor for a long time, Zhu Youxiao knows these Jinshi gentlemen very well. As long as you reveal a little bit of information, they can tell a long list of truths, even if his original opinions are different from yours. Inconsistencies, he can also quickly transfer logic.

To try to calm down, Zhu Youxiao picked up the teacup in his hand, blowing the heat away, and then took a sip.

Sun Chengzong and Wang Zaijin saw that His Majesty didn't make a statement, and they couldn't continue talking, they could only stand aside with their hands down, their hands in the wide sleeves of the red robes were clenched tightly, and their foreheads began to sweat, deeply afraid that they had acted recklessly just now Displeased His Majesty.

Lu Xiangsheng also continued to stare at the map and meditate. He was in charge of the entire Liaodong Peninsula, but the area he was in charge of was looted by the Tartars. Perhaps it was not a serious crime of beheading, but there was a crime of negligence.

Lu Xiangsheng began to reflect that he should not underestimate the power of Mongolia too much, so that he mainly focused his troops on dealing with Wuxiang and Jiannu.

Sun Chuanting simply closed his eyes and rested his mind. He was not very interested in this kind of foreign war. As the governor of Datong, he was indeed in charge of many checkpoints, and the terrain was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was difficult for the Tartars to benefit from his territory, so his The feeling is not strong, and I can't put forward any opinions, so I don't plan to do it for me.

The general officers are not used to speaking in front of His Majesty and a group of senior civil servants, they prefer to quietly watch the bosses speak and only accept orders.

The young generals of the imperial guards are still children in this regard, they have no experience, and it is difficult to say anything, not to mention, with His Majesty and Chief Instructor Lu Xiangsheng, it is even more difficult for them to speak casually.

Only Yang Sichang's eyeballs kept rolling, and his mouth opened and closed for a while, as if he couldn't say anything.

Zhu Youxiao caught his performance, put down his teacup, and ordered: "Yang Sichang, the left servant of the Ministry of War!"

Yang Sichang reacted quickly, stood up immediately, bowed his hands to Zhu Youxiao respectfully, and said, "My minister is here!"

"What's your opinion on this matter?" Zhu Youxiao asked hurriedly.

 The national football team won!congratulations!
