Chapter 213 Thunderstorm (4)

When talking about this, the military officials became energetic and changed their words one after another, changing their depression just now.

"Silence!"

Wuding Hou Guo Ying angrily rebuked, "What kind of morality does the noise in front of you have?"

Among all the martial officials, he was of high age, so after he spoke, the palace was silent again.

"Duke Cao!" Zhu Yunsheng spoke.

"I'm here!"

"Send them Timur's letter of state and the Jinyiwei's report on the Western Regions!" Zhu Yunyu picked up the tea bowl and his eyes lowered.

One by one, the letters about the Timur Empire was about to send tribute to the military officials, as well as the recent movements of the Timur Empire, were sent to all the military officials.

"Is this a waste of my life? I can't read?"

"God, look at these things, your head hurts!"

The military officials complained in their hearts, but they had to cheer up and stared at the documents in their hands with wide eyes and revenge.

Gradually, as they looked, their eyes became bigger and bigger.

Many people were very unbelievable. They did not believe that there were such powerful foreign countries outside the Ming Dynasty, and they could not even believe that there were other people in addition to the Ming Emperor who had such martial arts.

The one who looked the most carefully was General Ping'an. He looked over and over again several times and fell into deep thought.

"Yesterday, Grandpa of the Emperor said that he would be either a traitor or a thief if he had nothing to do!" Zhu Yunxiu put down the tea bowl, "What do you think?"

"The Emperor's words still leave room. I think he is a wolf-like ambition is obvious!" Ping'an said, "This minister has also heard of it. He is another ambitious and heroic among the Mongols. In the Western Regions, there are many horses and irons, and the tribes are brave. Hundreds of thousands of troops are not exaggerated."

"This time I sent an envoy to my Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that it is just to draw a map in secret and survey the terrain."

Xu Huizu also said, "A person has no intention of hurting the tiger, and tigers are harmful to the hearts of the people. As the general said, Timur is a tiger and wolf. Just last year's Jiayuguan war report, Timur led his army to plunder in Yarkand, forcing Yarkand to surrender, and looted Baicheng and Kuche."

"It seems that he is demonstrating to me, Daming. Now that he is a Timur, he is tributed. If I am careless and fall into his delayed plan, he will suddenly raise troops and cross the Tianshan Mountains and go straight to the Yili River, he will threaten my Daming border!"

"This thief must not be underestimated!"

After Xu Huizu finished speaking, Wuding Marquis Guo Ying said, "It's a pity that he is too far away from us, and it's beyond the reach. Otherwise, he would never have to fight everywhere over the years, and he would not have to integrate the population and tribes of the Western Regions." As he said, he sighed, "If he really comes, his military force will definitely be huge."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunqiu nodded secretly.

Although these military officials of the Ming Dynasty were unable to help in the civil administration, their strategic vision was extraordinary. Not only did they not have arrogance, they could also recognize the strength of the enemy.

However, some people disagree. General Zhou Xing said, "Your Majesty, there is only a thousand days to be a thief but not a thousand days to defend against thieves. You can't defend yourself!" As he said that, he paused, "I think this wolfish boy is ambition to covet my Ming Dynasty. Then he will have to retaliate and knock off his dog's paws directly to let him know he is afraid!"

"I think it can prevent the Lanzhou cavalry from going out of the frontier in Gansu Town and heading straight into the frontier. If he dares to chase him, we will drive away and let them chase him. Set a big pocket for him on the border of my Daming, so that he can die as many people as he can!"

General Liu Zhen also smiled and said, "We may not be able to fight for the expedition to the Ming Dynasty, but when we arrive at our doorstep, we can't help them!"

The words of the two attracted the approval of the young and strong generals.

Defense is always passive, and only by attacking can you gain initiative. And everyone understands one truth: defense can never bring true peace.

"It's right in tactical terms, but strategic... it's a little bit worse!" Zhu Yunsheng nodded in his face and thought in his heart.

Today, we summoned these military officials to see who are truly strategic talents among them.

"I think if I guard against this thief, in addition to swords and weapons, there is also the prestige of our Ming Dynasty!" The Ministry of War wrote to Ruhua, "This thief has been conquering the Yarkand Khanate, the remaining troops of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and the Golden Horde, etc. have been deeply harmed by it. I heard that wherever the Timur army passes, they are all white bones on the ground, and their cruel people and gods are angry."

"In the name of China, our Ming Dynasty united all parties to form an alliance, and Timur would not dare to act rashly."

"This diplomatic trick is very useful!"

Zhu Yunxiu praised him in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.

This kind of diplomatic trick is considered strategically. Timur is too strong and poses a threat to everyone, so let him bring a few more allies. In terms of economic sanctions, in public opinion, demons, and beautiful countries in future generations often do this?

"The Lord Shangshu thought it was pretty good. Those barbarians were all birds of a feather. Maybe both ends of snakes and rats." Changxing Hou Geng Bingwen sarcastically said, "This one takes the benefits of our Ming Dynasty, and then turns around and sells us!"

"You..." Ru Wei glared.

"Okay, don't argue!" Zhu Yunsheng spoke.

In fact, no matter how strong Timur is, it will not cause any substantial harm to the Ming Dynasty, because the old man was just about to attack the Ming Dynasty, and he was retribution and died.

But the reason why Zhu Yunyu summoned the military officials so much and described Timur as a danger to the Ming Dynasty was because he wanted to create a fierce tiger for the generals of the Ming Dynasty.

The world is peaceful and civil servants are corrupt, and the military system will inevitably be corrupt and degenerate and lose its combat effectiveness.

Then, with the vain and powerful enemy of Timur, Zhu Yunqiu could have done his best to rectify military affairs, eliminate bad policies in the military, and even give him an excuse to convince his ministers in personnel transfer.

Besides, even if Timur is not dead, such external troubles are just bluffing and looking scary.

Although the Timur Empire was strong, he had a fatal problem, that is, his rule was far less vital than the Han dynasty. Just as Genghis Khan was such a hero, his descendants fell into endless civil war as soon as he died.

If the Hu people did not become sinic and did not learn from the ruling structure of the Han dynasty, they would never be able to maintain long-term stability. They were as strong as the Yuan Dynasty, and they would not have a century of national destiny.

The Western Regions are so brilliant in history, and all kinds of civilizations emerge one after another, but what will happen later?

It is precisely because they do not have stable internal affairs and have not formed a country in the true sense.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes circled on the ministers and finally fell on Duke Cao Li Jinglong, "Li Aiqing, what do you have to say?"

"I have nothing to say?" Li Jinglong complained, but he couldn't help but speak and pondered, "If the emperor is worried, it's reasonable. The so-called guardianship must be avoided. But he doesn't let his hands smile. Since Timur sent a delegation to come, we will treat it with all our hearts. However, we must also take strict supervision while we are in the hospitality, so that we cannot know the truth and reality of our great wisdom..."

As he said that, he looked at Zhu Yunxiu, and the emperor's eyes were a little unhappy.

Because what he said was what Zhu Yunxiu said to him yesterday.

"As for whether to use troops, it seems too early!" Li Jinglong smiled, "One is that he has not yet noticed that Timur has acted unfavorable to me in the Ming Dynasty, and the other is that there is no news of the opponent combining his troops!" As he said, he looked at everyone and pondered, "But that's still the same thing, and he must be careful of others."

"How can my Ming Dynasty snore? Therefore, the most important thing is to be a confidant. The so-called confidant is to know whether my border troops in the Ming Dynasty can fight. For example, in Gansu Town, we rectify the number of troops and horses, train day and night, dispatch scouts to collect information, stockpile food and grass to build passes."

"In addition, as Ru Shangshu said, make more allies to prevent accidents."

"Yeah!" Zhu Yunsheng nodded for a moment, "Is there any?"

"I don't want to say it!"

Li Jinglong shouted in his heart, but he slowly said seriously, "Not only Gansu Town, but the other towns cannot be ignored. Just now, Wu Dinghou said that 80% of the soldiers can fight in Gansu Town, and it seems to me..."

As he said that, he lowered his head and was afraid to look at the cannibalistic gazes around him. "This number has been very impressive in the Taiping periods of all dynasties, but now my Ming Dynasty is in a strong foreign enemy, so we must not do this."

"The registered soldiers of the Governor's Office of the Ministry of War should be made up for it. If the shortcomings are really made up, they must be given real numbers. Otherwise, if this continues, how many people in the border town will become a confusing account!"

He said, looking at Zhu Yunxiu again, whose eyes were threatening.

Li Jinglong could only grit his teeth and said, "The most important thing about the war between the two armies is food and grass. In addition to the number of soldiers, how long can the food in the border town be eaten? It is necessary to clarify the details. In addition, the fields and farming conditions under the garrison must be unclear. Because this involves the food for the soldiers!"

"Li Jinglong, my grandma..."

Many military officials cursed in their hearts, "What are you going to do? Isn't this cutting off everyone's wealth?"

"Yeah!" Zhu Yunxiu nodded frequently, "What Li Aiqing said is mature and steadfast." As he said, he said to the Duke of Wei, Xu Huizu, "You can polish it later and issue it to various towns in the name of the Governor's Office. Then, he sent the inspectors to investigate, and the Qing elected officials to go down to inspect." As he said that, he looked at the military officials, "Who has different opinions?"

Who dares to have it?

No one speaks.

"Jiangyin Marquis Wu Gao!" Zhu Yunxiu said again.

"I'm here!"

"Take a firearm camp to Gansu Town. After practicing for so long, you will experience the wind and snow outside the border!" Zhu Yunxiu said.

"I obey the order!"

"Changxing Hou Geng Bingwen!"

"I'm here!"

"I heard that you are good at guarding and sent you to Gansu Town to inspect the defense of the garrison!"
