Baidu otaku as Chongzhen

Chapter 814
Yang Reform sat there alone in silence.

Almost all the arrangements that should be made have been made, and the rest seems to be to wait for things to develop bit by bit as expected, and to correct things when they deviate...

First of all, use the big weapon of running a school as the main weapon to tear apart Confucianism, and then introduce and promote Western learning to supplement the existing Confucianism with fresh blood. Although Confucianism today is somewhat repulsive, it is better than blood necrosis.

Then use Taoism’s science popularization and other new things, or in other words, the progress in natural science forces Confucianism to open its eyes to see the world, forcing him to accept the new world and new things, so as to achieve the purpose of changing society. To reform the world in a world that cannot be penetrated any further, Confucianism is an unavoidable thing, something deep in the bones, and it is also the most difficult link in the transformation.

Yang Reform believes that the popularization of this natural experiment should cause a great sensation. This experiment is related to the composition of air, the discovery and definition of oxygen, and oxygen is related to combustion and respiration, and even related to photosynthesis of plants. The discovery of things related to atmospheric pressure, and even vacuum, should be a strong stroke in the history of natural science.

According to Yang Reform's prediction, the wave triggered by this experiment should be able to attract the attention of the world for a long time. It may take years or even decades for the world to digest this experiment.In this way, more scholars can stand on the side of progress.

Of course, these are just assumptions, and Yang Reform is not clear about how far he can go.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Yang Reform woke up from all the thoughts, but it was Wang Chengen's urgent cry.

Yang Reform's mind suddenly returned to his body. Wang Chengen was so anxious, something must have happened, otherwise it would never be like this.

"What's the matter?" Yang Reform asked.

"Your Majesty, something important has happened. Master Sun has sent an urgent report that Donglu intends to gather troops. Your Majesty, there is probably going to be a big battle in this desert..." Wang Chengen spoke in a hurry, but in his words , obviously with more joy.

"Oh, is there any movement? Are you sure?" Yang Reform's heart beat violently.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Master Sun has verified that the Eastern Prisoners are indeed gathering their troops, and they are probably about to go west, Your Majesty..." Wang Chengen said hurriedly, and sent up the urgent report as he spoke.

Yang Reform quickly opened the urgent report, which contained detailed information. Huang Taiji really couldn't sit still, and summoned some Mongolian tribes who were still loyal to him, and he probably wanted to do something. Judging by the situation, it didn't look like he was going to do something against the Ming Dynasty, maybe It's time to attack Lin Danhan.

After Yang Reform finished watching, the smile on his face crept up unconsciously.

"This is indeed a gratifying event. The Eastern Prisoners finally can't sit still and are finally going west..." Yang Reform said.

"...Yes! Your Majesty, Your Majesty finally got his wish..." Wang Chengen said hastily.

"...Big Companion, immediately summon the Nine Ministers of the Ministry on the platform..." Yang Reform said excitedly, the strategy that had been laid out for a long time finally got on the "regular" with difficulty and began to exert its effect.

"Slave obeys the order!" Wang Chengen agreed unequivocally.

……

platform.

The ministers were quickly summoned to the platform.

Since it is a platform, it is naturally related to the military.

in the platform.

Yang Reform did not talk too much nonsense.

"My dear family, just received an urgent report from Master Sun that Donglu intends to make a move. Judging from the situation, he probably wants to go west and attack Lin Danhan..." Yang Reform picked up the report and told the audience The minister introduced, with a confident smile on his face, that Yang Reform has been working hard to drive the eastern captives to the west.

The ministers immediately discussed that the eastern captives were advancing westward, that is to say, the emperor's strategy had basically worked, and the eastern captives no longer had the ability to fight the Ming Dynasty again.

"...Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, Donglu has finally become a passing cloud, and is no longer a confidant of our dynasty..." Shi Fenglai immediately congratulated him loudly.

"...Congratulations, Your Majesty..."

"...His Majesty Congratulations..."

Everyone followed immediately.

The atmosphere on the platform is full of joy. As for why, everyone knows that the realization of the strategic intention means that most of the strategy has been won.

"Military Department, please explain the situation to the Qing family..." Yang Reform said with excitement, not because Yang Reform wanted to show off to others, but because this is really something to be happy about.

"I obey the order!" Shen Yongmao, Minister of the Ministry of War, immediately agreed. As a minister of the Ministry of War, these are compulsory courses, accepted by the emperor, and able to access the secrets of the General Staff Department. He naturally knows what this information means. Let him explain, he is naturally unambiguous.

Shen Yongmao, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, began to explain on the big sand table.

"Your Majesty, fellow colleagues, based on the analysis of Elder Sun Ge's urgent report, this time the Eastern captives must be going west..." Shen Yongmao, Minister of the Ministry of War, began to explain.

"...East captives march west, and I will follow up. It can be regarded as using the hands of the eastern captives to clean up the entire Monan Mongolia to complete the unfinished business of our dynasty. I believe all colleagues know the significance of it..." Minister of War Shen Yong Mao began to explain in detail, and now he was familiar with these things, although he might not understand them thoroughly, but according to the scriptures, listening to the emperor's words, he definitely understood.

Among the ministers, some snorted. This so-called great cause is a waste of people and money, and it is a great achievement, just for the sake of the emperor's face.Of course, no one dared to tell the emperor these words now. The emperor had already decided on a strategy of going north, cleaning up Mongolia, which was just one part of it.

"Your Majesty, I have a question..." Chen Yuting thought for a while, but he stood up and said that the relationship between him and the emperor is very strange. Although he is also the emperor's person now, the errands he runs often find fault with the emperor. , It’s not that everything follows the emperor to make a batter. When it’s time for him to play, he has to play. In the past, Chen Yuting didn’t like this role too much, but now, he likes this role, because he gradually Consciously, he has the demeanor of Wei Zheng in the former Tang Dynasty.

"If you have any questions, just ask..." Yang Reformed.

"Your Majesty, I don't know much about the military affairs, but I also know that it is very dangerous for our dynasty to go deep into the desert to pursue them. We have attacked the desert several times, but they have returned in vain. If you want to go west, if you defeat Lin Danhan, you will have escaped into the desert. If you want to go deep into the desert and fight the Donglu, the risk is not ordinary. Why don't you solve the Donglu now? Why do you have to let go? Where are the captives going from east to west?" Chen Yuting asked.

Since Yang Reform became emperor, he has always firmly controlled the military power. Relatively speaking, the military is still a very high level of secrecy, and many things are only given a vague concept. If outsiders are not allowed to , It is difficult to understand the whole picture of the matter, and it is not strange to have doubts in this regard.

"...Ministry of War, please explain..." Yang Reform didn't think much, and said to Shen Yongmao, Minister of the Ministry of War.

"Abiding by the order! Your Majesty!" Shen Yongmao immediately agreed. He used to be very vague about this answer, but now, he is clear.

"... Colleagues, before explaining this, please allow the headquarters to talk about the current situation in the desert..." Shen Yongmao said.

Many people listened seriously.

"...Chen Zongxian's question, in fact, has a lot to do with the astronomical phenomena and climate..." Shen Yongmao was very complacent. After he had a higher vision, he looked at the problem and it was clear at a glance.

"...you must also know that my dynasty has been in drought for several years, especially in the north where production has been reduced, and there are not a few people who have lost their harvest. Colleagues, think about it, my dynasty is still so dry, so how can the desert go further north? You know, there is only a wall between this desert and our dynasty, and the side wall can stop the enemy's attack, but it can't stop the celestial phenomena, the abnormal weather... I don't know if you think so?" Shen Yongmao said with a confident smile.

After hearing this, many people nodded their heads. They seem to have heard of this thing before.Some people seem to have remembered something, and some people who have already understood it can't help nodding their heads in agreement.

The side wall and the national border are indeed an obvious gap for people. There is indeed an obvious boundary, but for wind, rain, thunder and lightning, this is nothing. Everyone knows what happened in the north of the Ming Dynasty in the past few years. The emperor spent tens of millions of immigrants every year, for what?It's nothing more than combating drought.

"...The Qing family, let's talk about the key points..." Yang Reform urged Shen Yongmao.

"Abiding by the order! Your Majesty..." Shen Yongmao immediately agreed.

"... Colleagues, according to what I have learned so far, in the past few years, the desert outside the border wall has been in constant drought, and it has become more and more severe... After several years of drought and my dynasty's After several years of siege, six words can be used to describe the desert at this time 'very tired, hungry, and poor'..." Shen Yongmao said very confidently.

Many ministers were moved and realized that the Ming Dynasty was ruined by the drought, let alone the grassland?

"...Tired, evil, poor, these three words are now a nightmare on the grassland. You can imagine what the grassland looks like today... It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a hell on earth, for a few catties of rice It is not uncommon to be able to kill people, and it is not a joke to be able to draw a knife for a few sweet potatoes..." Shen Yongmao said with a proud attitude.

Hearing this, most people understand.

"...Now that a few catties of rice on the grassland can buy human life, and a few sweet potatoes can recruit people who dare to die, are you colleagues still worried that it will be disadvantageous for me to go deep into the desert?" Shen Yongmao said proudly, as if This is my favorite work.

"I report to Your Majesty, I understand. Your Majesty means that as long as there is enough food, you can summon the Imperial Alliance Army indefinitely. Mongols against Mongols, Mongols against Eastern captives? Let them kill each other?" Chen Yuting is not an idiot either, after listening for a while, he understood that he had heard this thing before, but now it was a little vague, and now that it was mentioned again, those things came back to his mind, just as his mission was completed.

"Yes, the drought on the grassland today may be hard for you to imagine. In addition to hunger, fatigue, and poverty, there are also smallpox, plagues, and wars. People there have to face death anytime and anywhere... The situation is quite It's terrible... Of course, this is beneficial to our court...So, on the grasslands today, whoever controls the food will control the initiative. As much food as there is, there will be as many troops. There is no need to choose the imperial association army, disobedient tribes, and tribes that cannot fight. Even if I don't fight him, he can't survive. If he wants to survive, he has to fight for me. So, worry about going deep into the desert It will have an impact on our dynasty, you don’t need to doubt this, let’s not talk about whether the Donglu can defeat our army, first ask them if they have enough to eat..." Yang Reform took over the conversation and said.Using the drought to plan, this is what Yang Reform has always followed. This can be regarded as standing at the height of history, and it has taken a lot of advantages. Yang Reform believes that his opponents must be looking forward to the abundance of water and grass in the coming year, and they will not think like himself. Every year is a drought year.The strategy laid out on the basis of yearly drought is inherently in a favorable position. The so-called timing is what it means. You may not think it is very clever at ordinary times, but at a certain time, its power will be revealed.

"...Your Majesty is wise. Your Majesty has all the time, so naturally there will be no disadvantages. However, Your Majesty, they all say that the time, the location, and the harmony of people are indispensable. But even if the time is on my side, the location is not good. It is not good for our court..." A minister raised his own doubts.

"...So, I just surrounded this circle to make them more tired, more hungry, more poor, and make the plague more ravaging..." Yang Reform used his fingers to trace the area occupied by Lin Danhan and Huang Taiji. A circle was drawn on the ground.

"...Your Majesty is holy, your majesty is holy, I understand, I understand..." The minister immediately came to his senses. The nine sides had already surrounded Donglu and Lin Danhan within a certain range. Less than any refills.The shadows of hunger, fatigue, poverty, smallpox, war, failure, etc. have been hanging over the head, and the situation can be imagined.The minister nodded at first, then shook his head, as if he couldn't bear it, the Central Plains had the words "eating children and eating them", and the desert at this time is probably not much better than this, and a catty of sweet potatoes can change lives, I'm afraid it's not a joke.

"It's good to understand. After several years of siege, the effect has come out. Now, it's time to collect the net..." Yang Reform said with a smile.

The officials looked at me and I looked at you, and whispered to each other.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say. I don't know if I should say it or not." Han Yu thought for a while, and then stood up and said.

"Oh, what's the matter, just say it." Yang Reformed.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think that even though it is possible to recruit the imperial alliance army with food and easily control the tribes on the grassland with food, it is still very dangerous for the army to go deep into the desert. The Eastern Prisoners may not have lured us to court. In the mind of going deep into the desert, I think that if the army wants to go deep into the desert, it should be more cautious and careful, and there must be no mistakes..." Han Yu reminded.

"Well, what Han Qing's family reminded is that I will remind the generals on the front line about this point. We still have to enter the desert. Otherwise, why clean up the desert? You should be cautious..." Yang Reform nodded and said.
