One hundred and seventy-four chapters employment(1/2)
The capital far away in Fujian is now covered with clouds.
In front of the left gate, Shen Shixing sat on the chair of the Taishi, looking gloomy and gloomy.
The officials who participated in the court convention were filled with indignation.
"The West Sea Mongolian Huoluochi and others entered the country to attack Hetao. Li Lianfang, deputy general of Hetao, led 3,000 troops to chase and died, and the entire army was wiped out! Later, the Huoluochi tribe joined forces with the French to invade five counties in Hexi. General Liu Chengsi and guerrilla Meng Xiaochen and others were defeated, and guerrilla Li Fang died in Zhujiashan. This matter has never happened since Altan was granted tribute back then! I beg the court to send troops to Hetao to avenge the two generals who died in battle, guerrillas and fallen soldiers, and have a bloody former shame."
"Yes, Taozhou controls Fanrong in the west, and Huanglong in the east, and is in a high position and is in a serious way. Taizu once said that the gateway to Taozhou's Xifan is to be protected in the west, which is at stake. Taozhou is the most important and is actually a place that must be fought for by military strategists."
"Mongolia in the West Sea (west of Qinghai) had already changed. Lord Zhou and I repeatedly advised the court, but the court did not listen! The Hetao River is unstable, and there will be something wrong with Gansu. Once Gansu crashes, it will be a big emergency and the capital will be shaken!"
"At that time, Tuyuhun used Liaodong Xianbei to merge with the Qiang in the west, and became a disaster for the Sui and Tang dynasties. He did not forget the past and later affairs. He also asked Yuan Fu Mingjian!"
"For the sake of the present plan, we should send troops to Qinghai, attack Huanglong, and punish the thief chief! I beg Yuan Fu to argue for this matter on our behalf and speak to His Majesty."
As soon as this statement was made, all the officials of the Censorate of the Ministry of War agreed. The statement of "asking guilt in the palace" became a consensus among all officials. Occasionally, the voice of several opposing officials was long overwhelmed.
Under the influence of the demise of the Song Dynasty, the political correctness of the Ming Dynasty was strong.
The emperor guards the country's borders, does not marry, does not pay compensation, does not cede land, or pays tribute. The emperor has been captured by others, but he will not surrender and will still be called back to you under the city.
Among civil officials, the trend of being a war is very strong, and the principle of being a war is always politically correct.
Faced with this angry scene, Shen Shixing said nothing. At this moment, the Minister of War Zeng Tongheng got up from the chair and stood up, stretched out his hand and pressed it. Only then did the Que Zuomen quiet down.
He walked to all the officials and told Shen Shixing: "Yuanfu, the Huoluo Chi tribe in the West Sea is so rampant. Although Taicang is empty at the moment, the court will not tolerate this move, otherwise the Xihai tribes will be despised by our dynasty."
Shen Shixing said expressionlessly: "Okay, I should report this to the emperor of Ming Dynasty."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the officials applauded.
The court immediately concluded.
Shen Shixing and Xu Guo, Zeng and Heng and the other two went to Qianqing Palace to report.
Before the emperor arrived, the three of them sat in the warm room.
The three of them didn't speak, and the silence in the warm cabinet was terrifyingly silent.
Zeng Tongheng said: "Yuanfu is the officials who ask for battle. Will we report this memorial later?"
Shen Shixing said: "What the court discusses, the Grand Sima will report the memorial."
Zeng Tongheng lowered his head and said, "I dare not, the country's major affairs need to be decided by Yuanfu."
Shen Shixing said: "You must listen to everyone's intentions. The Grand Sima represents the representatives and is also the Minister of War. Of course, you need to be the first to speak to Your Majesty in the military affairs."
Zeng Tongheng was overjoyed when he heard this. He was a person who dared to take responsibility. He thought that Shen Shixing had always been afraid of things, and it was too late to hide from the Huoluo Chi tribe's offenses.
Zeng Tongheng immediately said: "This time the Hetao crash, the three-sided governor Mei Yousong could not escape the crime of dismissal. As for the new three-sided governor, I wonder if Yuan Fu has any claim?"
Shen Shixing said: "If someone chooses in his heart, just mention it to Your Majesty."
Zeng Tongheng was overjoyed when he heard this.
After a while, the emperor met with three ministers in Hongde Hall.
The emperor sat behind the curtain and was looking at the memorial of the court.
Zeng Tongheng said first: "Your Majesty, all officials agree to send troops to punish Huolou Chi tribe. They are united and people can use their hearts."
The emperor put down the memorial and said, "I have no difference between China and China. This kind of person is my innocent child, and the foreign people are also the territory opened by our ancestors."
"Although the Mongolian right wing is a foreigner, I have not regarded him as an outsider. I have rewards every year, so I treat them very well. These Shunyi kings are still quite obedient. There have been no troops west of Xuanfu and Datong. In the past twenty years, millions of creatures have been spared from the disaster. This time, Huoluo Chi tribe lightly launched a border quarrel."
Zeng Tongheng immediately said: "I beg Your Majesty to choose a general, entrust all the Western Affairs Bureau to fully impose troops on Qinghai!"
After Zeng Tongheng finished speaking, he looked at the curtains and waited for the emperor to reply, but after the curtains, he could not see the expression on the emperor's face. He only heard the emperor's hearing: "Mr. Shen, do you agree with Zeng Qing's words and launch an army to destroy the thieves."
Shen Shixing said: "Your Majesty, I think you should not lightly launch a border quarrel."
Zeng Tongheng's face changed drastically.
"After the court's discussion, all the civil and military officials advocated sending troops to attack, why did Mr. Shen disagree?"
Shen Shixing said: "Your Majesty, if you really send your troops to attack the West Sea, it will cause dissatisfaction among the West Sea soldiers, two to become lonely troops, three to have a successful outcome."
"It is like a hand-to-hand talk, and there is a difference between the real and external forces. If the opponent attacks you, you will easily fall into the trap of the other party. It is like a trap of the other party. You can change from the real-world situation to the outside world to the first party!"
Zeng Tongheng immediately said, "Don't send troops to attack, do you mean the chief minister intends to be the principal?"
Shen Shi said: "The strategy of controlling Mongolia in this dynasty was decided by the time of the late emperor. The Chahar tribe on the left side of the Mongolian was the central ten thousand houses directly under the Mongolian Khan. The leader of the Chahar tribe, Su Lai Xun Khan, led his troops to migrate south to annex the three guards of the Duoyan, causing us to lose all the Pingfan in the north. By the end of Jiajing, the Chahar tribe and the Northeast Yi (Haixi, Jianzhou Jurchens) were connected. This dynasty and the dynasty on the fifth year of Longqing to negotiate peace with Altan Khan of the Mongolian right, and united Altan Khan's Mongolian right wing to restrict the left wing of the Mongolian left. This is a big strategy."
"In the ninth year of Wanli, Altan Khan died of illness, and now he has defeated Altan Khan's position. If he rashly sent troops to the West Sea, it would be possible that the entire Mongolian right wing would fight. The agreement with the Mongolian right wing that year would undoubtedly turn out to nothing. The families had no clothes or silk, and all depended on Gongshi. Once the dynasty stopped, there would be no means to restrict Mongolia. However, the dynasty had been in the past few years, and the rice beatings of the west of Datong were worth two or three cents of silver for many years, but now it was only valuable, and this dynasty also benefited a lot from it."
"Although Huoluo Chi launched troops to invade, the tribes of the West Sea were still obedient to our Ming Dynasty. However, Huoluo Chi raised troops for no reason and killed our border generals must be punished. However, one department could not do evil, but abandon the throne of each department, and not harass the one side, causing the nine border break. If it breaks the agreement, it should be punished. If it loses, it will be pursued continuously. This is the general strategy of control."
After hearing Shen Shixing's words, Zeng Tonghengshen felt that he was too despised by the other party. His words made him lose all his prestige in front of the emperor.
The emperor behind the curtain said, "Mr. Shen said very well, so I wonder what Mr. Shen has to say?"
Shen Shixingdao: "In the Hetao Incident, the three-sided governor Mei Yousong was dereliction of duty. I beg to appoint a new three-sided governor to manage the Xihai."
The emperor asked, "Mr. Shen, the last time I asked you to recommend saplings, who do you think can be competent for the position of governor of the three sides?"
Hearing this, Zeng Tongheng's lips moved.
Shen Shixing's class did not look at Zeng Tongheng, but said, "Report to Your Majesty, I recommend Zheng Luo, the Minister of Rong Zheng."
Zeng Tongheng was so angry that his ears and neck were thick when he heard this. The emperor immediately said, "Mr. Shen, in May this year, King Shunyi made a speech to me and wanted to go to Xihai to ease the shores of those who were polite to take over his tribe. At that time, Zheng Luo submitted a memorial to me and let me go to Gansu to Xihai."
"How could this be used to defeat Zheng Luoluochi as soon as he reached the West Sea, and Huo Luochi launched an army to cause trouble. In the Hetao Incident today, the court has not yet pursued Zheng Luo's faults. How could it be of great use?"
Zeng Tongheng went out to work and said, "Yes, Your Majesty's Hetao incident will not be a day or two. I and the censors have repeatedly advised you. If you made a solution to this problem early, you would not have happened today's Hetao incident."
Zeng Tongheng's move was a counterattack.
But Shen Shixing did not respond, but the second assistant Xu Guo went out to work and said, "Sima, the severe drought last year caused the disaster in various provinces. The court just took a breath. As a result, the country improved slightly and border affairs started again. What can we do? The officials above said it is easy, but if we want to make a decision, the officials below ran away. The court is like a human being, with limited energy, and it is impossible to take care of this and that, and everything is thorough.
Zeng Tongheng immediately lost his speech when he heard this. He was a minister of War and could not match two cabinet ministers.
Shen Shixing said: "No need to say anything about Xu Cifu. All of this is my fault. Please forgive me."
After the curtains, the emperor said, "No need to say anything more to Zeng Qing."
Zeng Tongheng took a step back and said that he was.
The emperor said, "I have no intention of blaming Mr. Shen, but I don't understand what strategy Zheng Luo can do, can he... he still have a daughter?"
After hearing the emperor's words, the eunuch who served on the side almost burst out laughing.
When Zheng Luo was the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, for the position of governor of Datong, he asked Jiang Zunzhen, the doctor of the Wenxuan Department. Jiang Zunzhen heard that Zheng Luo had a beautiful daughter, so he told Zheng Luo that if he married me with a daughter, he would definitely get the strategy. Then, despite the huge age gap between the two sides and the relationship between the two people, Zheng Luo took the initiative to marry far away and finally got what he wanted and became the governor of Datong.
This matter is always mentioned by the court and the public, criticized and ridiculed. Even though Zheng Luo is now the governor of the three sides, he is still mentioned as his dark history and has been repeatedly mentioned. The censor used as an example of criticism in the memorial. If a person with ordinary shamelessness has definitely not been able to resist resigning, but Zheng Luo is very thick-skinned and deeply understands the essence of "he laughs and scolds him, and I will take good officials as my own." The more you take the office, the bigger the officials.
Shen Shixing said: "When Huang Taiji and the two kings of Shunyi were granted titles, Zheng Luo made great efforts. He often dealt with Mrs. Zhongshun and Mongolian tribes. No one knows Mongolian right."
The third lady is Mrs. Shunyi and Altan Khan's wife.
According to the marriage system of the Mongolian grassland, he married three Altan Khans, nominally, he was the current wife of Tsark. The Mongolian tribes had a habit that when the Khan was not around, his wife could command the entire tribe and mobilize troops, which had great power.
The third lady is also a legendary figure. During the Longqing period, the third lady led his army to Yanghe and saw an official named Cai Kexian who was very handsome. He was moved. So the third lady lured Cai Kexian to the city with the reputation of the alliance, and then took dozens of elite cavalry to kidnap the other party. The two of them had been hesitating for several days.
Cai Kexian was a military officer and a fourth-rank official. He was abducted by the Ming Dynasty and was shocked.
When Yanghe was not sure what to do, Cai Kexian returned safely after a few days. That's right, Yanghe has been in trouble again and the two families have succeeded in "marriage".
Every time the third lady arrived at the border, she would ask them, "How is Xiao Cai now?"
Shen Shixing said: "I think the court can select elite soldiers and powerful generals to camp between Zhahetao and Xihai, close down and shut down the market, and at the same time appease the monks, divide and disintegrate, so that the Huoluo Chi tribes can be isolated and destroyed with the last blow."
The emperor said: "What Mr. Shen said is exactly my heart. Since this is the case, use Zheng Luo as the governor of the three sides. But even if the suppression and tutoring are used together, the Huoluo Chi tribe should not be spared easily. The rest are all inferior. The most important thing is to let Salike return to the grassland from the West Sea to the east, otherwise I will not recognize him, the loyal and righteous king, and establish others."
Shen Shixing said from the heart: "Your Majesty, as long as King Shunyi returns from the West Sea to the east, then the West Sea Mongolia is like a pile of loose sand, and Huo Luochi does not have the name of summoning the West Sea Mongolia. I think this matter should be brought to Mrs. Shunyi to summon King Shunyi to the east."
The emperor said happily: "This is also because my dear friend recommended Zheng Luo! He is really a complacent country!"
The author's note.
There are three major battles in history books, but in fact, after five battles, the Ming Dynasty won all the victory. One of the battles and the war between the Huoluo Chi tribes was the later Three Victories in Hehuang.
Although this battle was not among the three major battles and its fame was not as good as the war of aiding Korea, the Ming Dynasty fought the most beautifully in this battle.
First of all, the situation in the Ming Dynasty began to be unfavorable. The Huoluo Chi tribe was inspired to attack the Ming Dynasty. The Huoluo Chi tribe was not a problem, and the most important thing was the Huoluo Chi tribe. This person inherited Altan Khan, the common ruler of the right wing tribes in Mongolia.
After Altan granted tribute, although the Mongolian right wing negotiated peace with the Ming Dynasty, its tribes were to annex the tribes of Haixi and Mongolia to the west and finally achieve a large siege of Ming Dynasty. This time, the purpose behind the storm of Haixi and Mongolian was to unify Haixi and Mongolian tribes was to unify Haixi and Mongolian tribes.
As long as the Ming Dynasty sent troops to Qinghai, the neutral Haixi Zhufans would likely turn to him. Then the Ming Dynasty would face an enemy that was stronger than when Altan was originally awarded the tribute.
At that time, Shen Shi was the chief assistant, and in the face of this move, he adopted a strategy of using suppression and pacification. Not to mention the victory or defeat of the Huoluo Chi tribe, the diplomatic strategy of the Ming Dynasty was necessary, that was, to let Salik Donggui return to his original territory. Therefore, Shen Shixing proposed to ask Zheng Luo to contact Mrs. Shunyi.
Salike ran to Qinghai to cause trouble, so the most respected Mongolian right wing who stayed on the grassland was this Lady Shunyi.
Later, the Ming Dynasty contacted Zun San Niangzi and made his son the King of Xin Shunyi. If the third lady did not do it, she would stop tribute to the market.
Shulike had to run back from Qinghai. After Shulike left, the Mongolian tribes who had originally entered Qinghai also ran back. Finally, Huo Luochi, who invaded the Ming Dynasty, turned the Ministry of Revenue into a lonely family.
Finally, there were the three victories of Hehuang. In this battle, the Ming Dynasty recovered the long-lost Da, Xiao Songshan. This large and small Songshan was a strategic location second only to Hetao in the Ming Dynasty, and both of them were lost one after another.
However, the recovery of Songshan, the big and small battles not only meant expanding territory, but also completely blocking Qinghai Mongolia and Hetao Mongolia. As long as Songshan is in hand, the Mongolian right wing will not be able to connect with Haixi Mongolia.
After the court discussion, Shen Shixing and the other two retreated.
Zhang Cheng and Chen Ju opened the curtain together.
