Rule over Ming Dynasty

Chapter 3 Wen Chen disagrees
In the afternoon, the sky was still overcast.

Liu Jian seemed satisfied and left. After Xie Qian gave a supplementary teaching, it was the turn of Zuo Shuzi Zhang Sheng to come to serve as the daily lecturer.

Zhang Sheng was the No. [-] scholar in the fifth year of Chenghua. He was from Nancheng, Jiangxi.

Unlike Liu Jian, who is already in an important position and powerful, Zhang Sheng is a low-key official who is not too ambitious, and his teaching attitude is obviously much more modest.

"Attack is the opportunity to defend, and defense is the strategy for attack. The same result is victory. If you do not know how to attack, and you do not know how to attack after defending, it is not only two things, but also two officials."

Zhang Sheng did not talk a lot about the way of governing the country, but explained to Zhu Youtang step by step the "Questions and Answers of Li Weigong" in the "Seven Books of Wu Jing", explaining the relationship between offense and defense in the military.

According to legend, "Li Weigong's Questions and Answers" was written by Li Jing, a famous military strategist in the early Tang Dynasty.

Zhu Youtang is somewhat interested in military affairs, especially the ancient military affairs, so he listens very seriously.

Whether it is to face Dayan Khan, who is about to complete the unification of Mongolia, or to deal with a brand-new naval battle situation, this requires him to have certain military talents.

Zhu Youtang suddenly felt something was wrong when he heard this, he didn't know if Zhang Sheng's military level was not good, or Zhang Sheng thought his military level was bad, so he kept repeating the scriptures in front of him.

"His Royal Highness, do you think the minister's explanation is detailed enough?" Zhang Sheng keenly noticed that today's prince is a little different, and Dang even asked curiously.

Zhu Youtang knew that the other party was worried that he could not understand, so he simply asked directly: "Master Zhang, who do you think is the best at commanding the army in Ming Dynasty today?"

Although this period of my own was designated as Hongzhi Zhongxing, the military was actually very hip, and it was also one of the periods when the entire Ming Dynasty suffered the most from Mongolia.

Just take the first year of Hongzhi as an example. Miyun urgently reported in the first month, Liaodong was attacked in April, and Yongning City was looted in May. In the same month, Dayan Khan, the little prince of the Tatar tribe, led his troops to Datong and began to provoke Ming Dynasty.

The courts controlled by the civil official group usually regard peace as the most important thing. Facing the threat and looting of Dayan Khan, they choose to turn a blind eye and close one eye, sacrificing the stability of the frontier in exchange for the poetic beauty of Jiangnan.

Naturally, Zhu Youtang did not intend to sacrifice the frontiers for peace, and it was even more impossible to occupy the Hetao area, which has important military value, by Mongolia. Instead, he wanted to make Ming a military power.

Just to build a military power, in addition to having a sufficient economic foundation, it also needs to cultivate corresponding talents, especially excellent generals.

However, the long distance cannot quench the near thirst. Now the Whampoa Military Academy, which trains military talents, can be postponed, but now it is necessary to start looking for some handsome talents with immediate combat capabilities.

"His Royal Highness, I don't know what you want to do?" Zhang Sheng was a champion man in his 40s after all, and Dang even said very vigilantly.

Knowing that Zhang Sheng is a bloody official, Zhu Youtang said calmly, "A strong country must have a strong army, and a strong army can ensure national security!"

"Your Highness, who told you this?" Zhang Sheng stared in disbelief.

Zhu Youtang deliberately smiled and did not answer, but raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "Master Zhang thinks something is wrong?"

"That's a brilliant statement! If His Highness values ​​a strong army, it will be a blessing to the people of Ming Dynasty!" Zhang Sheng immediately expressed his opinion excitedly, his bladder soaring.

Zhu Youtang didn't want to discuss with Zhang Sheng the strategy of strengthening the army, but asked seriously: "According to Master Zhang, who in this court can entrust him with important tasks?"

"Wang Yue, who is now relegated to Anlu, is a great military commander of the Ming Dynasty! As long as he is reused, the border of the Ming Dynasty can be kept stable!" Zhang Sheng hesitated for a moment, then bowed his hands solemnly.

Zhu Youtang took a deep look at Zhang Sheng, knowing that Zhang Sheng did not stick to the interests of the civil society, so he nodded calmly.

Wang Yue was born in an ordinary peasant family in Junxian County, Henan Province. Although he came from a humble background, he showed the attributes of a child prodigy at an early age, so he was trained by the county school.

At only 25 years old, he was named on the gold list, but during his official career, he gradually drifted away from the civil society.First, he openly opposed the cabinet's dismissal of Xichang, and then he was criticized and excluded by civil officials for making friends with eunuchs.

In the 16th year of Chenghua, Yisi Mayin of the Tatar tribe violated the frontier. Emperor Chenghua appointed Zhu Yong as the general and commander-in-chief of Pinglu, and Wang Zhi supervised the army.

After arriving in Datong, Wang Yue got a piece of information. The royal court of Dayan Khan Batu Munch of the Tatar Ministry was located in Weininghai. Wang Yue and Wang Zhi personally led 28 elite soldiers to leave the customs. They arrived at Weininghai on the [-]th. , Dayan Khan Batu Mengke escaped with only his body.

After the First World War in Weininghai, Wang Yue was awarded the title of Weining Bo, hereditary, with a yearly salary of one thousand two hundred stones.

It's just that both Wang Yue and Wang Zhi were targeted, and civil servants are best at picking words. "Qingfeng is illiterate, so why flip books randomly" was not unique to the Qing Dynasty.

In the 19th year of Chenghua, Wang Yue was expelled from the imperial edict and exiled to Anlu because of "resentment for writing poems".

Although Wang Yue went up to express his grievances, none of the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty stood up to speak for him, so that he has stayed in Anlu for nearly four years now.

"His Royal Highness, my subordinates have read Wang Yue's poems. In fact, Wang Yue's poems are quite a lot, but most of them are written with emotion, and there is no resentment or allusion to His Majesty!" Zhang Sheng looked at Zhu Youtang's reaction, and said He chose to stand up and speak for Wang Yue.

Knowing that Zhang Sheng and Wang Yue had nothing to do with each other, Zhu Youtang asked with a half-smile, "Master Zhang, are you going to recommend Wang Yue to Gu?"

"Yes! Although Wang Yue has an aloof personality, he never forms a clique for personal gain. He is also loyal to Daming, and he has made great contributions to the country! If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends to the Great Treasure in the future, he can recover this person, and the nine sides can be safe and secure!" Zhang Sheng greeted Zhu With Youtang's gaze, Dang even chose to speak out what was in his heart.

Not only does Wang Shouren regard Wang Yue as an idol, Zhang Sheng in front of him also admires Wang Yue very much, otherwise he would not respect Wang Yue so much in front of him.

Zhu Youtang still doesn't know why Zhu Jianshen abandoned Wang Yue, but Wang Yue's military talent has been recognized by later generations. As long as this person can be used by himself, he is indeed the best candidate to rule the three sides.

Anlu, under the rock of Jiewu Mountain.

There used to be a small village surrounded by bamboo forests. Since a family moved here, there have been more scholars who came here admiringly in the past few years.

If you want to ask the yellow flowers to borrow the fallen flowers, you always hide from the false name under the fence.

It's a pity that the state of the world is changing like a cloud, and the hearts of the people are so peaceful.

All day long, he only fights for wine, and he never talks about military affairs for several years.

Xishan is only outside the Hengmen, and Yingde spends his life at ease.

……

A tall and handsome old man was lying on a bamboo chair with a pot of tea in his hand, watching a group of wild geese flying across the blue sky in autumn, and he seemed to write a poem with emotion.

This person is none other than the famous Weiningbo Wang Yue, who has been exiled here for four years because he was impeached for "resentment for writing poems".

"Grandpa, I had a dream last night. I dreamed that the new king would restore your official position and our family's Weiningbo title!" Wang Yu patted his horse over, looking very excited and authentic.

Wang Yue's face darkened, and he said earnestly: "Don't talk nonsense, the current sage is in his prime, so how can you talk about the new king in vain!"

"Isn't this dream that my grandson dared to tell you without other people?" Wang Yu once again confirmed that there was no one around, and continued to speak seriously: "Grandpa, you once told your grandson: Your Majesty didn't do it because of the poems. It is your Majesty who is worried that His Highness the Crown Prince will not be able to control you, so he followed the example of the Taizu and helped the Taisun get rid of the threatening warlords! If the new king really succeeds, will the new king restore you?"

"Your grandfather can't get back up! Not to mention that His Royal Highness is far from the ambition of the current emperor, and the civil servants in the court will not let your grandfather go back, at most pardon your grandfather's crimes!" Wang Yue took a sip of tea, looking The world is sober and authentic.

Wang Yu believed in his grandfather's judgment on the current situation, so he left in disappointment.

Wang Yue looked at Wang Yu patted his horse and left, his face gradually became serious.

Not only did my grandson Wang Yu have such a dream, but I also had a similar dream last night, which really seemed to indicate that something unexpected was about to happen.
