Chapter 716 Stubbornness

Chapter 716 Stubbornness
The ministers who participated in this discussion more or less came with a secret case.Regardless of whether it is practical or not, whether the effect is good or not, it must be there.

Otherwise, if you are asked by the emperor, and then ask three things you don't know, you don't want an official position.

Even Yan Song, who didn't want to take risks to do things, put forward the "five evils of border towns" in a decent way, and mobilized the Xuanfu army to march westward to Datong and intercept the return of the northern captives.

Xia Yan, on the other hand, came up with an extremely offensive proposal of "duplication", which could even be considered a military adventure.

In fact, Emperor Jiajing was still tempted by the "recovery", and this offensive plan was more in line with his character of wanting to fight back strongly after being slapped in the face.

It's a pity that Qin Dewei poured basin after basin of cold water, and Xia Yan currently only has a preliminary draft, without too many detailed ideas, and he can't be called "omniscient" Qin Dewei.

The enthusiasm of Emperor Jiajing just got up was extinguished, and the "recovery" didn't look so delicious.

So the two court elders were slapped by Qin Dewei and had nothing to say. Guo Xun was afraid of being "investigated for the remaining poison" and decisively persuaded him. Only the 25-year-old Cheng Guogong Zhu Xizhong was left trembling.

Emperor Jiajing could see that Qin Dewei's intrusion into this discussion today was to raise an argument on purpose.

So Emperor Jiajing yelled: "Qin Dewei! If you don't have any suggestions, you will retreat!"

Qin Dewei said: "I heard that the cabinet has many doubts about the ministers, so I dare not cross the line and talk too much, lest the cabinet will be dissatisfied again."

Emperor Jiajing said impatiently: "I will allow you to talk too much!"

Qin Dewei said again: "Actually, it's useless for me to say it. The cabinet must be a hindrance, and it still can't be done in the end. It's better to set up a military aircraft department in Wenyuan Pavilion."

Emperor Jiajing was in a bad mood, and Qin Dewei seemed to be frantically probing on the verge of death, which immediately made Emperor Jiajing furious.

When is this, still thinking about internal struggle?Emperor Jiajing issued an order to the left and right eunuchs: "Push Qin Dewei out of the imperial staff for twenty!"

Scholar Qin who was dragged to the gate of the hall shouted loudly: "Your Majesty! The Chief Chief I asked why he was able to go deep into the hinterland for hundreds of miles. I thought that all the princes in the court knew about it, so I didn't think I needed to talk too much!
It's just that I didn't expect that His Majesty is really a wise king, and all the ministers are mediocre ministers! "

Emperor Jiajing: "."

With just one sentence, Emperor Jiajing was moved!
"Your Majesty is really a Ming emperor, and all the ministers are mediocre ministers." This sentence really touched the heart of Emperor Jiajing.

This must be the reason why the emperor has worked hard for more than ten years, but the national situation has not recovered!
So Emperor Jiajing stopped the court staff, and asked Qin Dewei: "Er, why did the enemy invade the hinterland this time?"

Qin Dewei said: "In recent years, after the enemy chieftain Ida gained power, his attitude towards the Han people was quite different from that of the other chieftains.

In the past, when Han people entered the Northland, they were regarded as slaves and driven, but I answered that the old rules will be changed and Han people will be recruited!
All Han Chinese who can hear and read can be promoted and used, and all Han Chinese who have fame and fame can be reused!In addition, for the Han people living in the north, I will allocate land for farming! "

What Qin Dewei said are all new measures that I answered in recent years. With the current efficiency of information transmission and Daming's backwardness in intelligence work in the north, I don't know much about these situations.

So the monarchs and ministers were surprised when they heard what Qin Dewei said.Everyone is a smart person, and they can immediately understand that such a barbarian is definitely more difficult to deal with!
Qin Dewei continued: "Since these Han people are willing to accept the chief's recruitment, they will naturally tell them all about the geography of the mountains and rivers inside the side wall, and even act as guides!
What's more, if there are Han people serving under my command, how can I not send them as secret agents and promise to reward them heavily, maybe pretending to be beggars, maybe pretending to be businessmen, sneaking into the Ming Dynasty's side wall, spying on the military situation in various places?
So in the past, most of the northern captives were bandits on the side walls, and they didn't dare to go deep into the belly, but this time the chieftain, I Da, dared to drive hundreds of miles into the hinterland of Shanxi to loot! "

When Emperor Jiajing heard this, he felt that the doubts in his heart had been truly answered.

What the other ministers said just now was a bit false, only Qin Dewei hit the point.

Qin Dewei suddenly looked at Yan Song again and said: "The law of war says that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. Now that the bandits know me, and I don't know the bandits, the bandits can go deep.

Just now, Elder Yan Ge arbitrarily said that it was a coincidence, so what is it if it is not a mediocre minister?
If we don't deal with it, I'm afraid something like this will happen again next year or the year after that. What will Elder Yan Ge say at that time?Is there a chance every year? "

Yan Song: "."

The term "accidentally" was just casually said to comfort the emperor!Are you, Qin Dewei, guilty of picking words and chasing after him fiercely?

Emperor Jiajing became irritable again, and said bitterly: "How come I have encountered such an unprecedented situation in the past!"

No matter what the previous generations of emperors were, the situation was generally smooth and stable!But why did all kinds of new situations emerge one after another from the north to the East China Sea when it was Zhu Houcong's turn to be emperor?
Qin Dewei persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't worry about it! Misfortune is where fortune rests, and fortune is where misfortune lies. It seems that all kinds of troubles may turn out to be turning points.

In order to deal with the new situation, the imperial court should not stick to the old ways, and I suggest setting up a military aircraft department in Wenyuan Pavilion."

Emperor Jiajing interrupted Qin Dewei, "You first talk about how to deal with the northern captives!"

Qin Dewei replied: "The pacification of the northern captives is by no means a one-time event, but a long-term process, which is possible in five, ten, or twenty years.

Moreover, this is an all-round and comprehensive process, and it is by no means a one or two risky action that can be done once and for all.

Xia Yan's proposal to repeat the game is a military adventure at this stage, just like a gambler who goes to the gambling table and loses nine out of ten bets. "

Xia Shoufu: "."

It was Yan Song just now, now it's my turn again?

Emperor Jiajing only wanted quick results and solved the problem quickly, so he didn't like Qin Dewei's tone very much.

But for the time being, I still have to be patient. After all, it seems that only Qin Dewei seems to be reliable, and I can only listen to Qin Dewei beeping.

"If you want to put down the northern captives, you are actually fighting not only military battles, but also political and economic battles, and even the current political and economic battles are given higher priority."

When Qin Dewei said this, he intentionally paused.

But it is a pity that among the people present, no one asked him what is political warfare or economic warfare, and they all stared at him.

Qin Dewei could only continue to speak aloud, "Political warfare is a struggle for popular support, and I think there are several measures that can be taken.

First, as long as the Han people living in the north are willing to return, they will be pardoned.

In any case, the Central Plains is more comfortable than the desert. As long as there are conditions, most Han people are naturally willing to come back.

Second, recruit the northern captives and Hu people at the border, distribute living expenses, and give local horses.But only the poor and poor Hu who had fled, not the leaders and nobles of the northern captives.

Those generations had a difficult life in Saibei, and were oppressed by the Master, so they were precarious.But after arriving in Daming, the food and clothing are stable, and he must be loyal to Daming, and a little use can be of great use.

Third, boost the morale of the soldiers and civilians in border towns and strengthen their will to defend the land! "

Qin Dewei mentioned the so-called "political battle", and everyone present felt that the third point was the most important, but Qin Dewei said it the simplest, just one sentence.

Emperor Jiajing finally couldn't help but asked: "How to improve the morale of the soldiers and people in the border town?"

"Back then, our ancestors established the Weisuo Tuntian System, which was originally intended to allow military households to have land to grow. As the saying goes, those with permanent property have perseverance, but this is far from the case.

The military households themselves not only have to hand over their grain, but also bear a lot of power, so they may not be willing to regard the farmland as a permanent property!

What's especially abominable is that these taxation and service systems have gradually become a tool for the officials of the guards to occupy the farmland and expel military households for their own profit!
If things go on like this, the military households in the border town are overwhelmed, how can they not flee, and where is the morale to defend the border and resist the captives? "

Xia Shoufu said: "The imperial court will send officials to check the fields regularly."

Without even thinking about it, Qin Dewei said, "That's treating the symptoms but not the root cause. The morale of the army and people in the border town is low, and they don't have the enthusiasm to fight the northern captives to the end."

Xia Shoufu responded, "How can that boost morale?"

Qin Dewei didn't speak to Xia Yan any more, and said to Emperor Jiajing: "I wonder if Your Majesty has the courage to do a kind of good governance that has never been seen in the ages?"

The words "unprecedented through the ages" aroused Emperor Jiajing's interest.

Qin Dewei replied: "Permanently exempt all the burdens of the military households in the border town, including money, food and taxes! All the income of the military households from the farmland belongs to themselves!"

This proposal shocked all the monarchs and ministers, and countless questions flooded into their minds.

If you don't pay taxes and don't serve in the army, are you still a subject of Ming Dynasty?

If the money and food handed in by military households are lost, where will the money and food to make up for the gap come from?

If they don't serve in the army, where will the source of soldiers for the frontier army come from?

With such a simple sentence, I don't know how many aspects will be involved. I am afraid that the border town will be reorganized in an all-round way.

Everyone has a lot of things they don't understand, and Qin Dewei needs to explain in depth.

Qin Dewei took the opportunity to stuff his private goods and said: "If your Majesty wants to implement it, why not set up a military aircraft office in Wenyuan Pavilion?"

Emperor Jiajing shouted: "Enough, let's not mention these, what are the other measures?"

Anyone who has been in power knows that this kind of restructuring must be a difficult and troublesome thing, and it is unknown what effect it will have.

But Emperor Jiajing didn't care much about state affairs now, and hated troublesome things very much, so he simply put them aside and didn't want to listen to Qin Dewei's in-depth explanation.

Qin Dewei persuaded: "Your Majesty! Consolidating the frontier defense is first of all to stabilize people's hearts. This is the fundamental strategy!"

Emperor Jiajing snorted coldly and said, "It's just barbarians and Di invaders. How can you confuse yourself and change the law at will? Let's talk about economic and military battles first!"

Qin Dewei still wanted to continue persuading: "If your Majesty is worried about unexpected events, you can choose a place to try it out first, Datong is fine!"

Emperor Jiajing became impatient again, and warned: "I say no!"

Qin Dewei sighed secretly, and said again: "As for the economic war, we must first start with the thoughts of the chieftain.

First, this person is the uncle of the little prince, the Suzerain of the North, but he is so powerful that he has forced the little prince's tribe to the east of Liaoning Town.

And I answered that I had a lot of disagreements with the little prince.So I want to accept the canonization of Daming, use Daming's title to strengthen the momentum, and suppress the little prince. "

Many years ago, the people of the time called Dayan Khan the "Little Prince", and later Ming Dynasty used "Little Prince" to refer to the Suzerain Khan of the North.

An "omniscient" time traveler like Qin Dewei doesn't know what the name of the little prince was during the Jiajing Dynasty, because there is no relevant record in history.

It can also be seen from this that how much Ming Dynasty ignored the intelligence work of the Beilu, and even the name of the Beilu's nominal suzerain, the Great Khan, was not known.

"Secondly, the chief of the chieftain, I Da, has repeatedly invaded the border, but in fact he is just trying to force Daming to pay tribute.

For the northern captive chiefs, those who benefited from the invasion and plunder were all at the grassroots level.

But if it is possible to pay tribute to Daming, then the beneficiaries must be the upper class of the northern captives like Alta, the chieftain. They can control the tribute market, monopolize the operation, and grab huge profits.

Therefore, for the northern captive chiefs, it is not cost-effective to enter the bandits, and it is far inferior to tribute and trade. "

The other people in the palace couldn't get in the way at all, they were all dumbfounded at Qin Dewei, why do you, Qin Dewei, know me so well?

Of course Qin Dewei understood. In history, Al Da was also one of the most famous leaders of the northern captives. He dreamed of doing business with Daming to open a border market.

He fought back and forth for decades, and spent almost his entire life, just for one purpose, to do business with Daming.

But Emperor Jiajing had a stubborn personality, no matter how he was beaten, he refused to agree with me to pay the tribute.Even after the Gengxu Incident was forced to agree to open a border market, the contract was broken a year later.

In the original historical time and space, it was after the death of Emperor Jiajing that I finally realized my wish.

Hearing Qin Dewei's mention of tribute, Emperor Jiajing said angrily, "This is impossible! How could the Ming Dynasty be forced to pay tribute to the barbarians? How is this different from the alliance under the city?"

Qin Dewei could only explain again: "Your Majesty! The tribute is just a means, and there are many things that can be used. First, it can be a tactic to delay the army. In the name of the tribute, prepare the border defense and win a respite.

Second, it can cover some of our actions, just like repairing the plank road and hiding the old warehouse!For example, the other complexes mentioned by Xia Yan can let Tonggong Bianshi open in the east to cover.

Third, regarding the location of Tonggong Border City, it can be designed very subtlely to provoke internal fighting among the northern captives.

Fourth, through the border market, I can buy North Koreans for my use, otherwise I don't even have a guide! "

Emperor Jiajing didn't want to hear this at all, and said angrily, "In the eyes of the people of the world, it is the northern captives who invaded the country. My Ming emperor and ministers are afraid and forced to pay tribute! The matter of paying tribute is absolutely undiscussed!"

Qin Dewei had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty! Any war must have a clear political purpose, and you cannot fight blindly without a goal!

I don't know if you have ever thought about it, what is the goal of my Ming Dynasty's war against the northern captives?
As the saying goes, the wild fire is endless, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates. The killing of the northern captives is endless. Even if Ming wins a big victory, it is impossible to completely eradicate the northern captives.

Therefore, according to Chen's vision, in the end of the war, military victory must be transformed into political victory and economic victory as soon as possible.

Especially economic victory, this is the longest-term idea, and tribute and trade are actually a means of control! "

Emperor Jiajing stubbornly refused and said: "Even if the tribute is won, it will be a matter of winning, and it will never be considered now!"

Qin Dewei was speechless, Emperor Jiajing was too stubborn and difficult to deal with!

 This paragraph is too difficult to write. . .I have revised it repeatedly, but I don't know how to write it to be satisfied.Continue to ask for monthly tickets!
