Nine hundred and sixtieth chapters determined to make
Zhu Xu looked at Badali, sat upright, and his eyes were sharp.
It is not an easy task to send troops to the Ming Dynasty!
Badali knew clearly that his proposal was an extremely important decision for the Ming Dynasty. Since Emperor Yongle, the Ming Dynasty had never conquered the Can Yuan Dynasty again. Especially the disastrous defeat of Yingzong marked the offensive and defensive transformation between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia, and the complete chakra was the defensive and could only be beaten.
Although since His Majesty Jing Zheng ascended the throne, he has been in a state of war, invested his energy, money, and food, and cleaned up the garrison system, which has transformed the Ming army, it is still a very challenging thing to conquer the desert. Not only the matter itself, the Ming Dynasty must make up its mind to send troops, and this level is also difficult.
Badali looked up at Zhu Xu and said nervously and cautiously: "Your Majesty, Chahar can no longer indulge it, otherwise it will be a major concern of the Ming Dynasty sooner or later. Please make sure that your Majesty must make up your mind and exterminate it as soon as possible!"
Zhu Xu's heart was as bright as Badali's words.
He had plans for Chahar, but listening to Badali's words, perhaps Chahar's situation was even more serious than he expected, otherwise Badali would not have asked the Ming Dynasty to send troops so anxiously.
Although the six ministries of the cabinet will not agree, and even Sun Chengzong, Cao Wenzhao, Zhao Rujiao, Man Gui and others will have concerns, this matter must be done, and we must take action against Chahar this year! If it continues to develop, it will be more difficult to deal with in the future.
Once this battle begins, the Ming Dynasty must win a great victory and completely wipe out Chahar without leaving any troubles!
If it fails, the consequences will be unimaginable for the Ming Dynasty. Not only will the Great Wall be threatened, Liaodong will also fall into chaos and the consequences will be unimaginable.
This battle must be cautious and bold, and the battle must be decided in one battle!
Zhu Xu's heart was wandering for a while, then raised his eyes to Badali and said, "How are you preparing?"
Badali was shocked and immediately said respectfully: "I will not hide it from your Majesty. Before entering the capital, I had signed an alliance with the seven Khanate countries and agreed to resist together and attack Chahar!"
"How many troops are there?" Zhu Xu looked straight at Badali.
"There are 6,000 people in total, all of them are elite soldiers." Badali bowed again, and his words were somewhat confident.
Due to climate, the entire Asian region is becoming increasingly weak. For decades, hundreds of years ago, the army combat that often took hundreds of thousands of troops was basically invisible.
Even Zhu Xu could not launch a war of hundreds of thousands of troops at will. He did not meet such conditions, from military strength, mentality, and money and food.
All Mongolian tribes are also very weak. If they want to maintain, they basically rely on mutual plunder. Those who are close to the Ming Dynasty have had their annual gifts and trade. Now, except for Korqin, everyone else can only rely on their own.
In addition, Korqin split once, so there were already a lot of 6,000 people for them.
Zhu Xu didn't take it seriously, knocked his fingers on the table and said carefully: "How many troops do you think Chahar has now?"
Badali obviously had a long time ago and said without hesitation: "I think there are at least 20,000. If I fight with all my might, it will probably increase to 40,000."
"Then do you think Huang Taiji will join forces with Chahar to attack Korqin from behind, or even attack the border towns that attacked our Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Xu said.
Badali couldn't speak out immediately, his face calmed down.
This is what he was worried about. Huang Taiji took away most of Korqin's elite and now he has received support from Junggar. If he turns back to fight Korqin and the entire Mongolian in the desert, it would be terrible. Korqin can't stop him at all!
"Your Majesty also asks you to send troops to protect Korchin!"
Badali knelt down suddenly, gave a big gift, and said in a deep voice.
Korqin has reached a critical moment of life and death. The obscure Huang Taiji to the west, and the ambitious Chahar to the east. Korqin’s life was too difficult and he was worried all day long, so he had to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the table, thinking.
The Ming Dynasty's army, especially cavalry, had been trained for many years, but had not experienced a great war, especially when it came out of the Great Wall, on the desert and grassland, Zhu Xu was still unsure of it even with cannons and heavy armored cavalry.
If Chahar cannot be eliminated in one fell swoop, it will become a disaster. The Ming Dynasty cannot keep going to war in the desert. It needs to be determined by a battle. It will be decided quickly and there will be no mistakes!
After pondering for a long time, Zhu Xu looked at Badali and said, "Although I still need to discuss this matter with my ministers, I can accept you, Chahar, disrespect the kingdom, deliberately provokes our Ming Dynasty and wantonly destroys peace in the north. I cannot be compatible! This year, I will definitely send troops to conquer, but I still have to consider the timing. Do you understand what I mean?"
Badali was deeply excited when he listened to Zhu Xu's words and immediately said: "Yes, I understand that Your Majesty's Ming Dynasty needs time to prepare. I will wait patiently and deal with Chahar and others with caution. Huang Taiji's minister will also find ways to investigate and clear their every move!"
Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, nodded lightly, and said, "I will send someone to contact you. The news about Chahar and Junggar must be summarized, and analysed properly and comprehensively, and then arrange it. Don't leak this matter, either of your allies, do you know?"
Badali was already very happy to get Zhu Xu's affirmation and said without hesitation: "Abide by the order!"
After saying this, he quietly looked at Hai Lanzhu's room. Although there was no sound of a baby crying, this child was Hai Lanzhu's son and the Prince of Ming Dynasty, which was very important to Korqin!
Badali's eyes turned sharply, thinking about what to do.
Hai Lanzhu gave birth to a second prince, and even if it was a Mongolian princess, the outer court was overjoyed.
The emperor had a wedding, and the palace had a lord, and now he had two imperial heirs. This not only means that the emperor has a stable status, but also the country is stable.
Although the adults in the outer court were in fierce confrontation, they were still happy in the face of this matter.
In the evening, Bi Ziyan's mansion, Bi Ziyan, Sun Chuanting, Fang Kongzhang and Li Banghua were at the table. After a while of lively opening, Sun Chuanting looked at Fang Kongzhang and Li Banghua said calmly: "The emperor is happy to have the second prince, so we can also benefit from it. Break the precepts and have a good drink!"
Li Banghua and Fang Kongzhao were both forced to smile and accompanied him with restraint.
The cabinet is very strong this time. Many policies seem unrealistic to them, too tempted, and even false, just for the sake of "political achievements", "fame" and "fame"!
But the account book taken out by the cabinet made them lose face and lose the confidence to continue to resist.
Bi Ziyan naturally knew that these adults were convinced and said with a smile, "It is certainly gratifying to be born, but the 'New Policy' is the most important thing for me at the moment. Although the cabinet's plan this year is too large and trivial, I hope that all the adults can openly talk to the cabinet and not hide it. Everything from easy to difficult, there is still time..."
Li Banghua and Fang Konghua looked at each other, and Li Banghua said, "Sir, can you have detailed plans for reducing disaster relief money and grain, stopping 'work-for-relief', setting up strict checkpoints, increasing commercial taxes, and controlling the movement of vendors and the people? How much should be cut, when will it be stopped, where are the checkpoints set? How much is the heavy tax?"
Fang Kongqi then said: "The State Administration of Taxation was first established in Yingtian Prefecture. I don't know what level it is? What is the jurisdiction? How much taxes are, how to allocate them? The Cultural Bureau, does it have the intention to suppress the Silin, who is the main business, what level is it, and what affairs are under the jurisdiction..."
Bi Ziyan originally said casually, and today he was just in touch with his relationship. Unexpectedly, these two people were completely unfamiliar with the charm and asked directly.
Sun Chuanting knew Bi Ziyan's meaning and hurriedly said, "My lords, let's only talk about the wind and moon today. Regardless of state affairs, I will invite you to the cabinet tomorrow to discuss in detail. The cabinet's plan is not a decisive death. You guys Mu Shou's side, and the cabinet also wants to listen to your opinions more..."
Fang Kongzhao was suspicious of the cabinet and was worried that they would do their own thing. Seeing Sun Chuanting so "ruled" so much, he felt even more uneasy.
Li Banghua was in the west, and An was taught a lesson by Zhu Xu once. His temperament became somewhat more harmonious. His eyes were on Bi Ziyan, and Sun Chuanting and his two faces swept over, and their thin faces moved, and they said no.
"Come on, raise your glass."
Bi Ziyan looked a little embarrassed, and raised his wine glass and said with a smile.
On weekdays, I just want to write a memorial and handle government affairs. Although I have many worries, I never thought that things in reality are more difficult than expected.
Sun Chuanting has been under great pressure recently, and the matter in the memorial book is almost different from reality. These officials in the border areas have already reached an extremely "severe" or even "dangerous" level.
