Chapter 691
The news of the victory of the Ming Dynasty and the defeat of the Mongolian right wing also reached Lin Danhan.

Lin Danhan could only stare blankly at a simple sand table.

The strength of the Ming Dynasty has become more and more obvious.

Lin Danhan has always had a faint worry in his heart.The Ming Dynasty took care of Huang Taiji, but it might not be able to take care of him. Now the Ming Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, but his strength seems to be getting weaker and weaker.

Apart from staring at the simple sand table in a daze, Lin Danhan can only be in a daze.

……

Liaodong.

Huang Taiji also received news that the Ming Dynasty had defeated the Mongolian right-wing coalition forces.

Hearing this news, the first thing Huang Taiji did was to come to the sand table and carefully compare the situation of all parties.

The more he looked at this sand table, the more Huang Taiji's heart sank. Apart from being silent, Huang Taiji didn't know what to do.

Accompanying Huang Taiji in silence was Huang Taiji's important adviser, Fan Wencheng.

"The Mongolian right wing is gone..., gone!..." Huang Taiji was silent for a long time before uttering these words.The Mongolian right wing is gone, that is to say, his plan to go west and merge with the Mongolian right wing has failed, and his desire to rely on the Mongolian right wing to recover and strengthen his own strength has failed.

Fan Wencheng didn't know how to explain it. The battle took place in the Hunhe River outside the Datong side wall, which is far away from Liaodong and Huangtaiji. Even if the Mongolian right wing still has some residual strength and wants to join Dajin, it is impossible to cross the Ming Dynasty and Lin Dan. Khan's territory is too far away, and Dajin can't reach it at all.Now that the Mongolian right wing is gone, it is too difficult for those remaining tribes to cross the grasslands to seek refuge with him.Without the supplementary strength of the Mongolian right wing, what should Dakin do?Fan Wencheng was also at a loss.

Or, what should he do?Should we continue to "conglong", or should we think of another way?It seems that this big gold is getting more and more unreliable.

"Big Khan, the slaves thought it was better to go west as soon as possible. The Mongolian right wing is gone, but there are still tribes on the grassland, and if there are tribes, they can recover their strength..." Fan Wencheng took up Huang Taiji's words after a while, and still insisted on going west. into strategy.

"Ben Khan also knows that going west is very important, but now, the Ming Dynasty people are obviously attached to Ben Khan, and Ben Khan wants to get out easily, I'm afraid it will be difficult!" Huang Taiji said with emotion.Up to now, Huang Taiji only feels that his brain is not enough. It seems that no matter how much he thinks, no matter how hard he struggles, no matter how much he racks his brains, it seems to be of no avail. Deep tiredness.

Fan Wencheng couldn't speak up, and there were actually not many ways for Dajin to go, except for going west, in reality, he could only fight the Ming Dynasty.But can he really make up his mind to fight the Ming Dynasty?

If we say that in the past, Fan Wencheng was still very confident that Dajin could win the Ming Dynasty, but now, Fan Wencheng has no confidence in this regard.

In the whole Dajin, only Huang Taiji has resourcefulness, and the others are just reckless, not worth mentioning.

It seems a bit difficult to rely on Huang Taiji's wisdom to overwhelm the Ming Dynasty. The commanders and generals of the Ming Dynasty have led the army all year round and have rich experience. They may be slightly less intelligent than Huang Taiji, but they will never It's too far away.In this aspect, the Ming Dynasty cannot be overwhelmed, and in terms of strength, it is far behind the Ming Dynasty...

"Khan, it's better to make up your mind early! The Ming Dynasty clearly wants to wear down my Dajin's strength. If we confront the Ming Dynasty, I can't afford to waste my Dajin! Sweat..., Sweat, these few days Not to mention the disasters every year, and the use of troops, food and grass every year, the soldiers have already reached their limit, and if we continue to confront the Ming Dynasty like this, we will definitely be undefeated and defeated..., profusely..." Fan Wencheng persuaded .

There was another silence in the tent.

After a while, Huang Taiji said: "Thank you Xiandou for reminding me, this Khan also knows this, but he can't make up his mind! The foundation of our ancestors will be destroyed by this Khan. I am really an unworthy descendant... ..." Huang Taiji murmured.

"Sweat..." Fan Wencheng persuaded. In Fan Wencheng's view, going west is the best choice. Dajin has already lost a little in momentum against the Ming Dynasty. If he fights against the Ming Dynasty, even if he can win Partially defeated the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty is too large, and can gather a large army to continue fighting in a blink of an eye, while Dajin fought again and again, without any rest at all. Fighting against the Ming Dynasty, even if he can win, he will win Sorry.But Xijin is different. Fighting with Lin Danhan is basically a pure profit. You only need to consume a small amount of strength to get a bigger harvest. Compared with the two, Xijin's advantage is obvious.

"...Ben Khan think about it again..." Huang Taiji hesitated.Huang Taiji is familiar with the books of the Han people. Affected by this, he has always demanded himself as a Han emperor.That's right. It's a good thing to have such a pursuit. Everyone has to pursue self-improvement, right?But once he regards himself as a monarch for a long time, there will be more fetters in his mind, and he will worry about gains and losses. For example, he will keep the country, foundation, capital city, etc. in his heart.Huang Taiji experienced the torment of being besieged by others.

"Khan, don't hesitate anymore..." Fan Wencheng urged.Regarding the future of Dajin, Fan Wencheng also became confused. He really couldn't see where the future of Dajin was. Now he is trying to persuade Huang Taiji, but in fact, it is also somewhat perfunctory, because he really can't give Huang Taiji a chance. There is no better way, especially the way to deal with the Ming Dynasty.

"No! It's only the beginning of March, and now we're going west to the grassland. There's nothing on the ground, and it's useless to seize the grassland. Ben Khan decided to deal with the Ming Dynasty for a while. What's going on..." Huang Taiji was unwilling to retreat like this, and was still ready to fight with the Ming Dynasty again, hoping to find the Ming Dynasty's flaws and try their best to turn the tide and reverse the whole situation.

Huang Taiji was not reconciled to just marching westward to the grassland. Although marching westward could preserve most of its strength and further lengthen the Ming Dynasty's front and supply lines, it would be easier to find the Ming Dynasty's flaws. Actually, westward marching is a It was a good choice, but Huang Taiji still decided not to give up easily, and was still going to try his luck. Maybe God bless Dajin, so that he could find the Ming Dynasty's flaws and defeat the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop.

"..." Fan Wencheng had nothing to say. After persuasion and persuasion, Huang Taiji still didn't listen, and he couldn't help it. He knew Huang Taiji's thoughts very well. Back into the prairie, hoping to make a comeback, but is it really that easy to make a comeback?Although the generals of the Ming Dynasty are not as smart as Huang Taiji, they may not be much worse than you, Huang Taiji. If you want to completely defeat the Ming Dynasty like Saarhu in the past, this possibility, Fan Wencheng thinks, seems too much. low, too low.

……

Huang Taiji decided to continue the stalemate and continue to look for opportunities.

The Ming Dynasty is also happy to continue to consume and fight a war of attrition, and the Ming Dynasty is very happy.

On the land of Liaodong, the scout battle became more and more cruel.

……

Beijing City in March.

It's actually quite peaceful.

Things did not go as expected by Yang Reform. The frontier troops from the three frontiers in Shaanxi did rush into Woerdusi to grab things. The flow of people completely submerged Woerdusi.

platform.

Yang Reform is summoning his ministers again.

"Gentlemen, the urgent report from Datong, the frontier troops from the three sides of Shaanxi, broke through the side wall overnight and completely uprooted the Woerdu Division. In the future, this place will no longer be the territory of the Mongols. In the future, they This is my Daming's territory..." Yang Reform announced immediately that Yang Reform was the one who paid the most attention to how the land he laid down would be arranged.Taking down Woerdusi, in fact, was the first step of the Ming Dynasty to expand its territory. Liaodong, at best, could be said to have regained lost ground, and it is still different from Woerdusi, a place that has been occupied by the Mongols for more than 100 years. difference.

All the ministers immediately started talking about it. This is big news. This news has indeed exceeded many people's expectations.In the eyes of many people, the frontier army is unusable, and it is impossible to fight at all, but now, the emperor said that the frontier army rushed out of the side wall overnight and completely uprooted the entire Woerdusi..., the army here Have you eaten all the gunpowder?Can you fight like this?

The officials buzzed and discussed.Some were elated and overjoyed; others were stunned and unbelievable.

"May I ask Your Majesty, is this true?" A minister couldn't help but confirm the authenticity of this matter to the emperor.

"It's absolutely true. I remember what I said a few days ago. There will be good news from Woertus, and that's the news..." Yang Reformed.

"Om..." The ministers' discussion became even louder.

Chen Yuting was dumbfounded. This news really surprised him. In his eyes, the frontier army is synonymous with waste, and it is impossible to fight. He didn't expect that he would dare to rush out of the side wall to fight the Mongols this time. It was so unexpected, and he won a complete victory... Thinking of what the emperor said to him a few days ago, Chen Yuting felt very disappointed. The emperor had something to hide from him...

Seeing that the group of officials had almost reached the point of discussion, Yang Reform suppressed his hand.

The ministers fell silent and waited for the emperor to speak.

"Since the entire Wordus is under the control of my Ming Dynasty, then there is a problem. What should I do with this Wordus? Is it to let the frontier army come back and let the Mongols or the Imperial Association army reoccupy this place? , or should I set up government offices and guards to manage this place? You might as well talk about it." Yang Reform said.

As soon as this topic came out, it caused quite a stir.

"Your Majesty, I think that our court should not give up on this place for two reasons: first, we now have sweet potatoes, a sharp weapon against drought, even in places with drought and little water, it is not impossible to support people. Since they can support people, why can't His Majesty's people farm and give it up to the Mongols?..." Shi Fenglai was very serious this time.The words also became agitated, giving people the feeling that their eyes brightened.When will Shi Fenglai be able to speak like this?

Not only the eyes of the officials were brightened, but Yang Reform also felt that his eyes were brightened. Shi Fenglai's voice and tone were quite different. How should I put it, it was full of indisputable aura.

"...Second: I think that if we don't set up government offices and guard fortresses, this place will definitely be occupied by the Mongols again. If it is occupied by the Mongols, do we have to spend huge sums of money every year to guard against these new tribes? I think that if we set up government offices and guards here, we can reduce the pressure on the three parties in Shaanxi, and reduce the military expenses of the three parties in Shaanxi..." Shi Fenglai said what he meant, and of course he fully agreed to swallow this land .The reason is also very good. In the past, the place was too desolate, there was no food, and people couldn't stay there. Now it's different, and they can stay there. In addition, starting from reducing the cost of the three sides of Shaanxi, it's logical and reasonable.

Shi Fenglai's uncharacteristically strong attack made all the officials look at him differently. Sometimes this microphone is not exactly a microphone, it also has the aura of the chief assistant.

Yang Reform did not ask him to say these words. Yang Reform nodded and looked at Shi Fenglai.This Shi Fenglai’s words can be regarded as inseparable from his own business. The promotion of sweet potatoes is one of his main achievements... It seems that people are sometimes "abnormal" when it comes to their "core interests". It involves the promotion of sweet potatoes. If sweet potatoes can take root in those places, the role of sweet potatoes will undoubtedly be raised to a new level, and Shi Fenglai, who promotes sweet potatoes, will undoubtedly benefit from this wave of expansion.

Yang Reform looked at Shi Fenglai again, and came to the conclusion: This old boy is also somewhat ambitious!

The ministers talked a lot.

"The first assistant is right, and that Qing family has something to say." Yang Reformed.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Chen Yuting immediately stood up and said, as the opposition, he did his part.

"What does the Qing family have to say?" Yang Reform asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think it's not appropriate to occupy Woerdus and set up government offices and guards here..." Chen Yuting said.Opposition is his main job. Whether the objection is right or wrong is another matter.

"Well, the Qing family is reasonable." Yang Reform was neither anxious nor impatient, and asked.

,

"Your Majesty, waste, waste! There are so many new government offices and guards, how much money do you have to spend every year? Your Majesty, it's not like I didn't occupy these places in the past, but they didn't let them out in the end? Why? No Is it a waste?" Chen Yuting said in a heartbroken voice.

"Well, what the Qing family said is also reasonable. However, I just heard from Shoufu that you can grow sweet potatoes, and you can be self-sufficient in food and so on. You don't need to supply too much, and you can afford it. Besides, without the Mongols, you have to be careful. , Some guards inside the side wall can also be merged and cut down, so the actual increase in military expenditure is not much..." Yang Reformed.

"Your Majesty, no, we have been in charge of the Three Frontiers of Shaanxi for 200 years before we have what we are today. It is really unwise for Your Majesty to abandon it easily. I think these guards and military forts should not be abandoned lightly..." Chen Yuting was still Heartbroken.

Yang Reform looked at Chen Yuting, but said nothing. Since the original guard fort was necessary, the newly opened guard fort naturally required additional military expenses.

In fact, Yang Reform is to take this opportunity to reorganize and reform the border military system that has lasted for 200 years. , and will continue to play a role in the future, that is to say, there is still a need to exist, and it is very necessary.

The frontier army implements the system of military garrison guards. In fact, this is a very advanced expansion defense measure that cannot be easily discarded, but now this system is too bad and has to be rectified.

Where is the rot?What is wrong with this system?Where is the need for reform?
After 200 years, after so many generations of reproduction, the population has already exceeded the limit of the land of the original guard, and did not give enough land to these newly reproduced "frontier soldiers" that exceeded the limit of the land, resulting in military The frontier army under the control of the Tunwei became Kuhaha, those who fled fled, and those who beat soy sauce beat soy sauce.This is a contradiction, where the rot is where the rot is, and where the mistakes are.

What is the core of Juntun?What are the characteristics?To put it simply, the army is to use the land to support people and protect the land with people.

Over the past 200 years, the frontier army has only given birth to people, but it has not provided land for the new frontier army. It has destroyed the cycle of the military system from the root. The function of the army station is naturally greatly reduced, and the frontier army has become bitter , became the bottom of society.What needs to be reformed is to give the new generation of frontier troops "new" land, use the new generation of frontier troops to protect the "new generation" land, and use the "new generation" land to support the new generation. This is perfect. Circulation, this is the core of the military settlement, and this is where the real power of the military settlement lies.

It is a pity that the Ming Dynasty only wanted to use the military system to guard the border, and only wanted to use the military system to save money. In fact, doing so limited the effectiveness of the military system, and the power of the general system could not be fully exerted.

Of course, this is also related to a Ming Dynasty that does not want to expand outwards. This belongs to the limitations of ancient times and the historical limitations of the ancients. It cannot be blamed that the ancients are not far-sighted enough.In fact, this is not a mistake. In fact, the Ming Dynasty's interpretation of the guard system was very successful.

For example, even at the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the Ming Dynasty officials fought against the peasant rebel army, they still fought ten without any pressure, and often crushed the harvesting peasant rebel army. The imperial army rushed tens of thousands, and 10,000+ peasant uprising troops. Therefore, the military station guard system is actually quite advanced and very successful. Even when the country is about to collapse, it still has a lot of power.

But Yang Reform is different. Yang Reform is now dominating the earth and competing for more land. Naturally, the power of the army must be fully released. Wherever there is land, the army will be opened there. People can support people, and they can rely on people to defend the land, it's that simple.

What Yang Reform has to do is to continuously expand outward, constantly move the military base outward, constantly occupy the territory, and give birth to more people.

Only in this way can it conform to the trend of history.

What is the trend of history?It is colonization, expansion, competition for land and resources, and industrialization.To compete for land, to expand, to grab territory, of course you have to rely on your own people, who are your own people?Of course it goes without saying.The bourgeoisie and industrialization are actually a process of robbing resources and opening up dumping grounds for industrial products. Undoubtedly, military settlements are the most suitable road for capitalist industrialization.

The purpose of Yang's reform is very simple, to build military settlements, occupy land, support people with land, and support land with people.Everything else is crap.

And this border army system is undoubtedly the first to need reform, release pressure, and release the original power of the army.
