It's the end of the year again, and the capital is becoming more and more prosperous and lively.
The noisy solar terms are not only due to the upcoming Spring Festival and the good news reaching the capital, but also add a lot of joy to this year's New Year.
In the streets, alleys, teahouses and restaurants, there was lively discussion everywhere.
"One hundred thousand Tatars were wiped out in one battle. Do they still dare to come and run wild in our Ming Dynasty?"
"Hey, speaking of which, this is also a battle that our Ming Dynasty must win, and we don't care who fights it?"
"Tsk, tsk, the imperial court sent two princes and three princes, they really think highly of the Tatars!"
"An army of 200,000 people swept across thousands of troops. This military power is truly rare in ancient times!"
"The Song Dynasty in the previous dynasty was simply incomparable to our Ming Dynasty, and could not come to the forefront. Our Ming Dynasty's martial arts can now be considered as majestic as those of the Han and Tang Dynasties, right?"
The emperor's feet have always been the most virtuous place. When the people of Beijing talk about these things, they always make comments and comments out of pride.
Moreover, over the years, the Ming Dynasty has rarely suffered defeats in its external military operations, which makes people feel that such a victory is deserved.
However, when the good news came to the palace, Zhu Yunxi didn't see it that way.
~~~~
"Too many people died!"
In Le Zhi Zhai beside the Imperial Garden, Zhu Yunxi put down his hand and received the good news, with a somewhat gloomy expression on his face.
"Cao Guogong Li Jinglong's tribe actually lost 40%!"
“The former King of Liao’s Guangning Guard is disabled!”
"The troops of King Yan Zhu Di also suffered injuries!"
Zhu Yunxi was sitting on the throne, with several round stools wrapped in brocade in front of him. Dozens of people including Xu Huizu, Chang Mao, Geng Bing and others from the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army, Ling Han, the Minister of Personnel, Fu You, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, etc.
Asshole, respond respectfully.
Xu Huizu thought about it and said seriously, "The Tatars came suddenly, and Liaodong was not prepared, so they suffered heavy losses first. However, in this battle, the Ming Dynasty annihilated the Ulliangha tribe in one fell swoop and eliminated the threat from Liaodong, not to mention that it was settled once and for all.
, it also eliminates a serious trouble!"
As he said that, he continued in deep thought, "Actually, the battle-loss ratio is quite bearable. I may say something inappropriate, but there are no undead people in a war. One battle will ensure peace in Liaodong for decades. This account is still worth it!"
Not to mention that we had to guard against them for years in the past, and the amount of money and food we gave to the military in Liaodong every year was an astronomical amount!"
It may sound a little uncomfortable, but this is what happens in military affairs. Not to mention tens of millions of people, even the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. In fact, in the eyes of the rulers, it is just a number. If the death of these people,
In exchange for eternal prosperity and peace, they would not hesitate at all.
History books will only record emperors and generals, when will they record small soldiers?
Besides, so many people have died, and continuing to mourn the dead is putting the cart before the horse. The top priority is how to deal with the aftermath, as well as other issues after the war.
Zhu Yunxi thought for a moment, but he actually heard something different from Xu Huizu's words.
First, the Uuliangha tribe has ceased to exist in name only, so what is the next step for the imperial court?
Second, since the Ulliangha tribe poses no threat to Liaodong at all, can the huge military expenditures the imperial court spends on the military guards of the various vassals in Liaodong every year be allowed to...?
It was even said that the Huining Guards of the Liao King, who had been crippled, should be replenished and rebuilt?
And King Zhu Di of Yan...?
"Uncle Fifteen took the lead in this battle. After reading the battle report of Duke Ying, I was moved!" Zhu Yunxi habitually tapped the table with his fingers and said slowly, "When the crisis was most critical, Uncle Fifteen even said that the princess would be sent to
The capital will die on the frontier!"
"With such a virtuous king in the Ming Dynasty, why worry about unstable frontiers and unjust barbarians?" Zhu Yunxi continued, "The fifteenth uncle's Huining Guards must be rebuilt as soon as possible to replenish their troops."
As he spoke, he paused his fingers and continued, "According to the decree of Chuangu, the emperor's fifteenth son, King Zhi of Liao, will be in charge of military affairs in Liaodong and in charge of Liaodong Dusi. The number of troops under his command can be from Liaodong Dusi, Tieling Guard, Beiping Guard,
He was even transferred from Kaiyuanwei and other places!"
After the words fell, the ministers didn't think anything, but the military ministers had already understood the signal sent by the Emperor Taisun of the East Palace.
After this battle, King Zhu Zhi of Liao will replace King Zhu Di of Yan in his position on the northern border.
"Although Wu Liangha is provoking my Ming Dynasty in this battle, but I heard that there are some Tatars fanning the flames?" Zhu Yunxi's tone suddenly became unkind, his eyes were cold, "Humph, I am a big Ming tiger.
You took a nap and thought we were house cats?"
"Earlier, when the second uncle of the King of Qin was here, he would unite the soldiers and horses of the kings of the border fortresses every autumn to inspect the fortresses to frighten the grassland tribes and make them dare not act rashly. However, after only one or two years without giving them a look, they became so rampant!" said
As he read, Zhu Yunxi looked around at the ministers and said, "It is conveyed that King Fan of Jin is the eldest among the princes and princes, and is Gu's biological uncle. He is responsible for the former King of Qin, commanding the troops of each vassal, and patrolling the fortress year after year without any mistakes. King of Liao
Follow up!"
"In addition, I ordered Ning Wangquan to prepare his army and prepare his horses to attack the Tatar tribe in the next spring. Those who offend our Ming Dynasty will pay with blood!"
"Here!" All the generals of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, starting from Xu Huizu, responded one after another.
At this time, the ministers also heard some implicit meanings. After this battle, Jin King Zhu Fan and Liao King Zhu Zhi would become the most powerful and powerful frontier kings.
The ministers were very much in agreement and even satisfied with this result. King Zhu Zhi of the Liao Dynasty had always been deferential to the imperial court, not to mention the King of Jin, who was the uncle of the emperor's grandson.
"There is one more thing!" Zhu Yunxi looked at the minister and said to Fu You, the Minister of Household Affairs, "Not a penny should be lost for the pensions for the soldiers who died in battle."
Fu You smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, if it were anything else, I would definitely say that I have no money, and that there is still a hole in the Ministry of Household Affairs. But when it comes to the pensions of the soldiers, the Ministry of Household Affairs will have to scrape the floor three feet apart to make up for it!"
As he spoke, he looked at Xu Huizu and others, "However, ministers and other officials are only responsible for distributing money. The specific distribution depends on the adults of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. Whether it can all reach the hands of the soldiers...
....”
These words have no meaning.
And being caught off guard, Xu Huizu and other warriors were stunned.
"What does Fu Shangshu mean?" Geng Bing, the Marquis of Changxing who was sitting behind the military minister, said unhappily, "What do you mean, we drink the blood of soldiers!" After that, he said to Zhu Yunxi, "Your Highness, the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army
The historical accounts are all well-documented, and every kilogram of rice and piece of cloth are recorded in the records. Although we warriors are not very polite, we are not like some evil officials who dare to hand out any money."
At this moment, the warriors all reacted and glared at the officials.
Ling Han, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, said, "Please be patient, Mr. Fu is not saying that you drink the blood of soldiers. What he is saying is that the Ministry of Finance is just a passing god of wealth. It is up to you to decide how much money you want. Others can only
I look speechless!"
As he spoke, he smiled and said, "Logically speaking, this matter should be handled by the Ministry of War in conjunction with the Ministry of Household Affairs, to count the casualties and issue pensions."
"The plagued scholar is attacking us!"
The warriors immediately understood the intentions of these officials. The officials were no longer satisfied with being subordinate to the warriors, and began to point fingers at the warriors' power.
Zhu Yunxi, who was sitting on the throne, was drinking tea as if nothing had happened and seemed to have heard nothing.
This was not his instruction. Since he came to power, the official group's voice has greatly increased. However, because of their close relationship with him and his support, the Wuren Group has become more and more wanton. They have become less and less concerned about the official group. Fu You and Ling
The reason why Han made insinuations on the spot was precisely because of their dissatisfaction with the martial arts group.
The founding fathers of the country were getting old, and the officials thought that the mountain weighing on their heads could finally get out, but they were shocked to find that these second-generation warriors who came to the forefront were more difficult to deal with and even more radical than their predecessors.
There is always a fight with Wu, there is no doubt about this.
"The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies was decided in the early years of the dynasty. If you are dissatisfied, why don't you tell the emperor!" Changxing Marquis Geng Bing said coldly, "If you don't dare to tell the emperor, then I will send those old military princes to the throne.
They are all called here, can you talk to them?"
