Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 644 My husband, you still say you don't understand the art of emperors?

Nanjing, Forbidden City.

"Your Majesty, Li Guo, Admiral of Gansu Province, sent a telegram stating that the Wala Heshuote Troops invaded Zhenyi, but before they crossed the side wall, they were defeated by Zhang Neng, a member of the No. 16 Town No. [-] Battalion of the Frontier Defense Army. The detailed battle report is attached to the telegram .”

Liu Shuying came over, talked, and handed a telegram to Liu Zhu, who put it on the imperial case.

Aimee Zhu opened the telegram file and looked.

A few days ago, Li Dingguo sent a report saying that Wala and Shuote's troops invaded and broke through multiple piers outside the side wall of Zhenyi Station. He had ordered the general Zhang Neng to go out of the side wall to meet the enemy.

Although the Wala Heshuote tribe is now one of the overlord tribes in Moxi, the equipment and quality of the border guards are sufficient to deal with it.

After all, the Ming Dynasty Frontier Army is not a unit that has not fought for many years, but an elite soldier selected from the former Ming Dynasty official army and peasant army.

Therefore, Auntie Zhu is not surprised by the good news from Gansu.

Seeing that the battle report mentioned that more than 100 soldiers of the Gansu Garrison Army died in battle on the piers where they were stationed because the Heshuote troops invaded in the sandstorm and it was too late to retreat, Zhu Wei couldn't help sighing.

Although she didn't go to Gansu, she could also imagine how much determination and courage it took for the soldiers of the garrison to stand firm and survive with the pier in the face of an enemy ten times or even dozens of times her own.

After reading it, she immediately wrote an edict, asking the Military Affairs Council to award the soldiers of the garrison who died in the battle against barbarians as second-class meritorious service, and enter the Garden of Heroes as martyrs, where they can enjoy incense and sacrifices from the Ming Dynasty.

In Daming, martyrs were not divided into ranks - this is the concept that Aimee Zhu borrowed from later generations.

For those who died fighting for Ming Dynasty, if their deaths were measured by rank, it would actually be disrespectful to them.

However, their merits during their lifetime can be counted separately.

For example, if the garrison soldiers who died outside the wall of the Zhenyi Institute in Gansu Province were all given a second-class merit, the pension would be more generous and their families would be honored.

The next day, Zhu Yuxi held a military meeting.

"Wala Heshuote's troops invaded Gansu. Although they were repulsed before they entered the side wall, the pier outside the side wall is located in the territory of our Ming Dynasty, so the Heshuote troops can also be regarded as invading our Ming Dynasty's territory. Killed hundreds of soldiers of my Daming garrison, so this matter can't just be left alone."

As soon as the meeting started, Auntie Zhu spoke first, setting the tone for the matters to be discussed today.

She got up and stood on the imperial steps, and said with her hands behind her back: "Everyone, let's talk about how to deal with this matter."

It wasn't surprising that all the ministers of military and aircraft heard what Aimee Zhu said.

Aimee Zhu had intended to open up the northern frontier, but now the Heshuote Department of Oara has invaded the border of Ming Dynasty, isn't that a reason for Aimee Zhu to send troops?

What's more, Heshuo's special department should have been punished for infringing on the territory of Ming Dynasty.

Huang Daozhou, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, said first: "The minister thought that the ceremony should be preceded by the soldiers, and sent envoys to Oala to question Oqiertu Khan, the Heshuo special department, and order him to apologize to the Ming Dynasty."

The so-called apology is actually asking Pegatron to compensate for the losses, and the compensation must be doubled, or even several times.It's just that Huang Dao Zhougui is the Minister of Rites, a great contemporary Confucian, and his words are more tactful.

"I think what Huang Shangshu said is reasonable." Yuan Jixian stood up and expressed his support to Huang Daozhou.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Xuelong and Lu Zhenfei also expressed such opinions.

However, Ye Tinggui, who has always had similar ideas to Yuan Jixian and others, did not express his opinion.

After these people finished speaking, Li Yan didn't intend to express his opinion for a while, Ye Tinggui said: "Your Majesty, the Tartars are afraid of power and do not cherish morality, so it may be useless to send envoys to question them.

In addition, according to the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Department and Beizhen Fusi, Wala has been growing continuously for nearly a hundred years, and the strength of the Heshuo Special Department has expanded the fastest.

It should be known that when Gushi Khan went to Qinghai-Tibet to establish the Heshuote Khanate, he took away some of the Heshuote cavalry.

Even so, the current leader of the Heshuo Special Forces, Oqiertu, still dared to send troops to invade our Ming Dynasty, which shows his strength and ambition. "

At this time, Li Yan, who had been silent all this time, also said: "Your Majesty, Gushi Khan is Oqiertu's uncle after all, and the Heshuote Khanate and the Wara Heshuote Division have only been separated for more than ten years.

Although Oqiltu's invasion of Gansu was defeated this time, he may not be reconciled, and he may contact other tribes in Oara, and even the Heshuot Khanate, to retaliate together.

Therefore, the minister thought that while sending envoys to question the Heshuote Ministry, he should also send envoys to the Heshuote Khanate and the Zhungeer Ministry, another ally of Wala, to try to prevent them from jointly attacking our Ming Dynasty. "

As soon as Li Yan's words came out, the expressions of the other military ministers suddenly changed.

Before, they did not consider the situation of the joint attack of Oara and Hoshut Khanate.

Thinking about it now, if this is the case, Da Ming will be in some trouble.

Because the Heshuo Special Department now occupies the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and even parts of southwestern Sichuan, and its influence is not small.

The fourth division of Wala is located in the northwest of Ming Dynasty, and they are also strong and strong, so they should not be underestimated.

Yuan Jixian immediately said: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, we can't send someone to question the Heshuo Special Department.

If Na Oqiertu didn't hate my Ming Dynasty to the point of uniting with the other three tribes of Wala and Gushri Khan, but because of my Ming's questioning, he had such thoughts, wouldn't we be inviting disaster? "

This time Ye Tinggui is a firm main fighter, or a hardliner.Because he had served in Shaanxi and Gansu, and had fought against the Qing and Northern captives, he knew very well the nature of the nomadic forces to bully the weak and fear the hard.

Hearing Yuan Jixian's words, he immediately retorted: "Yuan Fu's words are wrong. If my Ming Dynasty does not send envoys to question, Oqiertu will definitely not think of uniting with the other three Oirat tribes and Gushi Khan to take revenge?
Doesn't Yuanfu find it ridiculous to entrust peace on the enemy? "

"That's not what I meant..." Yuan Jixian was a little annoyed by Ye Tinggui.

I thought to myself: Didn't you disagree with sending an envoy earlier?Now I also ask you not to send envoys to question the Heshuo Special Department, so why don't you refute me?

Of course, he also knew that Ye Tinggui was the main battle, and he was the main peace, or he wanted to temporarily avoid triggering a big war between Ming Dynasty and its western neighbors.

So he then cupped his hands and said in a sincere tone: "Your Majesty, there are Qing captives in the northeast of my Ming Dynasty that have not been quelled, and Shading Island in the southwest that has not been quelled. months, I don't know when it will come again.

If it fights with Oala and Heshuote Khanate again, it will be fighting on all sides.

Although the national treasury has abundant annual income, the annual military expenditure is as high as about [-] million taels. Is it normal?

Before my Ming Dynasty, there were 30 to [-] years of internal strife and foreign troubles, and now it is finally peaceful. We should try our best to develop the people's livelihood and economy, which is the way to govern the country! "

Although Yuan Jixian is a traditional civil servant, he has always handled state affairs relatively conservatively.

However, after serving as the chief assistant of the cabinet for three years, he has not changed a little, and he has also learned some concepts and vocabulary for governing the country in later generations.

What he said was not entirely true, but it was not without reason.

Seeing that no one refuted Yuan Jixian's words for a while, Zhu Wei knew that other military ministers were also touched by these words.

This made her frown, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while—it was not that Ming could not defeat the Wara and Heshuote Khanates, but the high military expenditure and the impact on the people's livelihood and economy were indeed problems.After all, fighting nomads does not have so many war dividends.

At this time, Hao Guangming on the other side said: "Heshuo's special troops are attacking, if you Daming just repel them without counterattacking, it will definitely not work.

Not to mention other things, the border guards and garrison troops in Gansu, and even the border guards in various parts of Ming Dynasty, would probably lose their morale because of this, and I am afraid that they will not be so active in defending their homes and the country in the future against foreign enemies.

But it's really not good to fight with Gushi Khan and the four major tribes of Wala now.Our Ming Dynasty may be able to win, but it will inevitably seriously affect the development of the people's livelihood and economy.

My suggestion is closer to Li Yan's, to send someone to question the Heshuo Special Department and demand a certain amount of compensation.At the same time, send envoys to the Heshuote Khanate and the Zhungeer Ministry to try to prevent these two parties from uniting with the Heshuote Ministry.

Then, in your Ming Dynasty, you used newspapers to give a detailed introduction to the Heshuote Division’s invasion of Gansu, as well as the four major divisions of Oara and the Heshuote Khanate, and made a lot of reports.

Let the common people understand that there are powerful enemies to the west of Daming that may attack at any time.And this time when the Heshuo Special Forces attacked, it wasn't that Da Ming didn't want to send troops to fight back immediately, but that he couldn't, because the time hadn't come yet.

We have a saying here, "Crisis is also an opportunity", so, as the emperor of Ming Dynasty, you can use the invasion of the Heshuote Ministry, as well as the strength of the Wara and Heshuote Khanates, to arouse the common hatred of the Ming people. .

Encourage the common people to work hard on production, all armies to train hard, and civil and military officials to perform their duties, and all work hard to prepare for revenge.

In this way, the development of Daming in all aspects can be accelerated again.Maybe after two or three years, troops can be sent to solve the Wara and Heshuot Khanates in one fell swoop. "

After hearing Hao Guangming's words, Zhu Yu, who is very talented in politics, couldn't help her phoenix eyes shine.

All the military ministers were in front of her, and she couldn't talk to Hao Guangming, so she sat on the dragon chair and took out another mobile phone, and sent Hao Guangming a message——

"Sanggong, you still say you don't understand the art of the emperor?"

　Second more.

　　Good night~
