Zhu Youxiao said: "Master, let me tell you a little bit. This palace examination mainly tests policy theory. As for the content of the palace examination, it all depends on the emperor's wishes!"

Zhang Haogu calmed down slightly.

Wait, what does this mean?

Could it be that Zhu Youxiao wanted to tell him the test questions?

At that moment, he calmed down, glanced at Zhu Youxiao, smiled and said, "What do you want me to teach you?"

Zhu Youxiao continued: "Master, I have some connections here. The topic of tomorrow's palace examination is-Government of Liao Dynasty!"

kindness?

Zhang Haogu was a little lucky at first. It was Zhu Youxiao who took the initiative to leak the test questions to him. If he hadn't met Comrade Xiao Zhu and really followed the path of the cross talk universe, wouldn't he really have been doomed?

I will definitely not be able to pass the imperial examination, and I will consider running away when the time comes.

The palace examination only tests policy questions. Candidates come in at dawn and go through etiquette such as roll call, dismissal of papers, praises and salutes, and then the policy questions are given out.

For policy making questions, one should use current affairs policy, and the title should be two to three hundred words long.

Just to see what you think of the country's policies.

From this, you can judge whether you are a nerd or not and whether it is worth using.

The imperial court naturally has its own views on selecting talents.

Looking at Zhu Youxiao again, Zhang Haogu smiled and said slowly: "Government of the Liao Dynasty is also true. The Jurchens are also a serious concern of my Ming Dynasty and are difficult to deal with!"

"I guess the master has some prejudices in his mind, so I won't bother you!" Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "My disciple is going back first!"

Zhang Haogu yawned.

But in his heart he was planning to govern Liao.

I'm talking about Jurchens.

After the Battle of Saarhu, the Jurchens had actually risen from the dead. They repeatedly launched tug-of-wars with the Ming army in the Northeast. Basically, the Jurchens had the overwhelming advantage. It was not until the end of the Tianqi Dynasty that they won the great victory of Ningyuan.

The victory over Ningjin, however, is of little significance overall. The Ming Dynasty's failure was caused by the root cause.

The taxation of the imperial court itself was a big problem.

The second is party struggle and mutual criticism. As long as you do not belong to my party, I will do my best to kill you.

To govern the Liao Dynasty is to govern the Liao Dynasty.

In Zhang Haogu's opinion, there is nothing easy to cure. As long as you pay enough money to the soldiers at the border, you can definitely take advantage of Liaodong.

Isn’t this a lack of money?

The so-called treatment is actually to deal with the internal problems of the Ming Dynasty.

Party disputes and tax issues.

If these series of issues are not handled well, governing Liao will be an empty talk.

The strategy of the imperial examination was to govern Liao.

Zhang Haogu thought secretly, although Zhu Youxiao was said to be a faint king, he was not indifferent to government affairs. He still had basic abilities.

Later, after the great victory in Ningyuan, Yuan Chonghuan was so satisfied that he suggested to Emperor Tianqi that he build a large number of cities in Liaodong for farming and use this method to trap the slaves in Liaodong.

The content of the memorial can be described as rich in sound and emotion, and a large number of examples are listed.

He also flattered Wei Zhongxian: "If you do this, if you don't surrender, you will be captured by me. Wei Zhongxian, the minister of Kuangchang, and the ministers of the cabinet are all selected by Kuilong for Shi Ji, so what happened to me is no coincidence, so

If you dare to predict things, they will definitely come true!

The excerpts from Emperor Tianqi’s reply to Yuan Chonghuan’s memorial are as follows:

"Get the decree:

We are defending Fang Yin from the front, so we can discuss and proceed calmly. But what instructions should be given to the back so that the army and the people do not interfere with each other?

How should we allocate resources so that the agricultural war is not partial?

What kind of drill can be done to make the peasants become soldiers?

What kind of changes should be made so that all the troops in the camp are farmers?

What kind of boundary management is enough to limit the army and horses?

How to collect guarantees so as not to steal money?

All matters should be handled with care and attention.

This book says that if the slave does not surrender, he will definitely be captured, and the ministers will not be happy to hear about it. According to my calculation, the slave may not surrender, and surrender is not trustworthy. The battle will be won, and victory is not easy to talk about. Do it based on reality.

It takes time to act. It is right and strange in it. It should be done with care and mercy, and it should be done well."

Emperor Tianqi issued six parallel questions one after another, directly cutting into professional issues, and scratched the surface of Yuan Chonghuan's reputation.

And in the end, he clearly warned Governor Yuan: "According to my plan, the slave may not surrender, and surrender is not trustworthy; the battle will be won, and victory cannot be taken lightly."

It can only be said that Governor Yuan may be a very good master of tactical execution, but not at the strategic level.

Zhang Haogu suddenly felt that Zhu Youxiao was not as fatuous as the history books said. At least, his abilities were quite good.

Well, tomorrow's test questions will be quite interesting.

It can be regarded as a unique exam.

It was also Zhu Youpiao who took the test of himself as a teacher to see how good he was.

Zhang Haogu thought about it for a while, but in his mind he was thinking about how to answer the question.

First of all, the Jurchens should not be said to be too strong, and secondly, the Jurchens should not be taken too seriously.

To put it simply, it means to pay attention to the enemy tactically and despise the enemy strategically.

So how to answer this requires careful consideration.

First of all, we must admit that the Jurchens have strong soldiers and horses. This is true, but what do the Jurchens lack? Materials. The most powerful thing about the Ming Dynasty is that it has rich materials and thick blood. It can persist. The Ming Dynasty can fail once, twice, three times, or four times.

, However, the Jurchens cannot persist for long. As long as they lose a few times, the Jurchens cannot stand it anymore.

Anyway, Ming Dynasty persisted for more than 20 years.

Later, they watched the peasant uprising and the Jurchens join forces to carry it out for seventeen years.

Needless to say, the blood is thick.

The Jurchens cannot bear the same battle loss ratio.

However, the problem of Ming Dynasty lies here, party struggle.

The Donglin Party is not a good thing, so the Eunuch Party is a good thing?

Obviously, it's not.

So much so that the party struggle is so fierce that we don’t look at your military exploits or your abilities, but only whether you belong to my party.

If Ming Dynasty cannot form a joint force and is slowly consumed to death, it will be sooner or later.

As for how to answer.

Zhang Haogu already had a plan in mind.

Use both offense and defense

Once a war begins, the enemy will inevitably be on the move and the rear will be empty. Our army can use small-scale raids to carry out long-distance raids, directly attack the lair in the rear of Jian Nu, and draw Jian Nu back to assist. Jian Nu will be impatient to retreat.

Then the defenders in the city can take the opportunity to come out.

To put it simply, it is a small-scale battle. As long as the Jurchens come out in full force, they will harass him from behind.

When their large army came back, they ran away if they couldn't defeat them.

When they go out to fight in the city again, they will harass them again.

It is impossible to fight defensively.

Focus on defense and harassment as a supplement.

When the enemy advances, we defend it; when the enemy garrisones, we harass it; when the enemy fatigues, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue it.

In short, to make the Jurchens exhausted, they must learn to destroy their rear areas.

During the movement, look for opportunities, seize the enemy, and hit them hard!

It's not enough to have an idea, you still have to translate it into ancient Chinese.

The second thing is, is this a set of tactics?

Zhang Haogu is actually talking nonsense. It is just talk on paper. Whether it is true or not depends on the specific situation and specific treatment. This depends on the actual situation. To put it simply, does the Ming Dynasty still have an army that can go deep behind enemy lines?

However, if you use it to fool the emperor, it won't be a big problem.
Chapter completed!
