When Jin Xianmin stood up again, Jiajing's eyes turned back to Xu Jin and said with interest: "Xu Qing just said that he would not have to completely eliminate them. So what can Xu Qing do to eliminate the hidden danger of Tatar?"

Xu Jin couldn't help but observe a two-second silence for the Prime Minister Jin. He was not prestige enough and could not lead the ministers, but he had to fight against the emperor. After this court discussion, he probably couldn't sit still. He coughed lightly and said, "Back to the emperor, physical elimination is only a inferior strategy. A truly brilliant elimination is a spiritual elimination."

Jiajing said in his heart: "Xu Qing means education? Just like the Nanyang Protectorate and the Eastern Protectorate, colonize the Tatars?"

Xu Jin nodded and said, "The emperor is wise."

Liao Ji snorted coldly: "If you are not my race, your heart will be different. I think that the Southern Barbarians of the Ming Dynasty are not convinced by the king's transformation and trying to educate the more fierce Tatars is simply fantastic and ridiculous."

Xu Jin said calmly: "It is actually not ridiculous to be whimsical. What is ridiculous is that you don't even dare to think about it. Those who are complacent in ancient times will eventually be abandoned by the torrent of history. The Tatars are not unconventional. The three thousand camps under Emperor Taizong were naturalized Mongols. They are also loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and they are brave in combat and have strong combat power, and have made countless contributions."

Master Liao was implicitly mocked by Gu Buhua, and he couldn't help but be so angry that his beard trembled again, but this guy was so good at distinguishing.

Jin Xianmin retorted coldly: "That's only three thousand people, and it's easy to control it. It's enough to lure it for profit and intimidate it with power. Although the population of Tatars is far inferior to that of our Ming Dynasty, it also has a million people, and its territory is vast. How can it be controlled? Since it can't be controlled, how can it be taught?"

Xu Jin said calmly: "Then find a way to control it!"

Jin Xianmin laughed and said, "Dare you ask if the plan of the Jingguo Duke will be released?"

Xu Jin didn't seem to hear the sarcastic meaning in Jin Xianmin's tone, and said calmly: "In fact, it's not difficult. Just recruit 200,000 Tatars to transfer farmland to the south!"

Jin Xianmin was stunned and frowned. Although Xu Jin's so-called method sounded stupid, it was because of the unbelievable stupidity that Jin Xianmin became cautious and did not dare to respond casually, so as not to fall into Xu Jin's trap. This kid is good at speaking and has to be careful!

However, Dai Wei, the engineering department’s staff, obviously did not think so. He was a firm peacemaker. He was one of the thirteen officials who had just followed Jin Xianmin to kneel down and ask the emperor to think twice. At this time, he only thought he had grasped Xu Jin’s flaw, so he laughed loudly: “Hey, I thought that Duke Jingguo had come up with some clever method. It turned out that he was just to lead a wolf into the house. It turned out that he had seven orifices and had no idea, haha!”

A low laughter suddenly sounded in the hall. It was really absurd that Xu Jin's method was too ridiculous. Isn't this causing trouble for himself when the Tatars conscripted 200,000 soldiers to be transferred to the south? It would be no exaggeration to say that it was to lead a wolf into the house. If Duke Jingguo had not made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty over the years, everyone would have thought that he had a ill-intention.

Jiajing frowned, and he didn't believe that such a bad idea would have been thought of by Xu Jin, unless... he didn't understand the cleverness of it. Jiajing glanced at Xu Jin with a calm expression and couldn't help but show a deep thought. Many ministers in the hall fell into deep thought, obviously their thoughts were the same as Jiajing.

At this time, Fang Xianfu, the Minister of Personnel, suddenly coughed lightly and stood up and said, "Mr. Xu's method really sounds ridiculous at first, but when you think about it carefully, it is actually extremely clever."

The ministers were slightly surprised, but Jin Xianmin and Liao Ji's expressions were sunk and there was still anger.

It turned out that Jin Xianmin and Liao Ji were angry with Fang Xianfu a few days ago. Although the latter did not clearly express their support for them, they also hinted that they would not support the Northern Expedition. At this time, they jumped out and praised Xu Jin very much. It was obvious that his butt was sitting in a crooked manner. This old fox was like Cai Peng.

The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the assessment and promotion of all officials, and is called the Heavenly Official. It is actually the most important department among the six ministries. Moreover, the Minister of Personnel also has a trump card in his hand, which is the six-year Beijing inspection. The so-called Beijing inspection is the assessment and rating of all officials by the Ministry of Personnel. Mediocre officials who fail the Beijing inspection will be demoted or dismissed. Therefore, every year when the Beijing inspection year, all officials will be equivalent to tragedy. The Minister of Personnel responsible for the Beijing inspection is in power. He says you can do it, it is okay if you can't, it is okay if you can't.

Because of this, even the emperor dared to criticize the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, they did not dare to criticize the minister of the Ministry of Personnel. They were worried that they would be worn when inspecting the capital. Now the minister Fang Xianfu stood up to support Xu Jin, which is a big deal. It can be said that the direction of the wind has completely changed.

Jiajing couldn't help but be overjoyed and asked happily: "Fang Qing's family, where is Xu Qing's method sophisticated?"

Fang Xianfu cleared his throat and said, "The Tatar recruitment of 200,000 troops was transferred to the south to farm. This method sounds ridiculous at first glance, and it is also suspected of attracting wolves into the house. However, if you think about it carefully, 200,000 people seem to be a lot, but if you scattered to various prefectures and counties, you will only flow into the sea. As long as you strengthen supervision and management, you will definitely not cause trouble. Besides, the area of ​​Guangdong and Guangxi in Ming and Guangdong is vast and sparsely populated, and the mountains and rivers are heavy. It is simply a killing of two birds with one stone."

Jiajing's eyes lit up and said, "Fang Qing's family continues to talk."

Fang Xianfu stroked his beard and said proudly: "The above are all secondary. The most clever thing about this plan is to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot. The Tatars originally had a population of only one million and recruited 200,000 soldiers, and basically removed all the young and strong who could cause trouble. The remaining women, children, the elderly and the weak were easier to deal with, whether it was control or education."

As soon as this statement was said, it was like a sudden enlightenment. Most officials couldn't help but suddenly realize it, and at the same time took a breath of air. This was indeed a "poisonous plan" to remove firewood from the cauldron. If this method could be implemented, then the problem in the north that had troubled the Ming Dynasty for more than 150 years would really be completely solved.

Jiajing was so excited that his handsome face was congested. He looked at Xu Jin and asked, "Xu Qing, is it as Fang Qing's family said?"

Xu Jin looked at Fang Xianfu unexpectedly. This plan to remove firewood from the cauldron was not thought out of nothing, but was summarized from the Qing Dynasty in later generations. As we all know, the Ming Dynasty had a life of more than 270 years and had never tried to completely conquer the Mongols in the north, but the Qing Dynasty easily did it. On the one hand, although it was because the Jurchens were also a nation on the back of horses and had the same clan and origin as the Mongols, the most important point was the conscription.

That's right, it's recruitment!

After the Qing soldiers entered the Central Plains, in order to attack the remnant Ming forces and control the vast territory, they recruited soldiers from Mongolia in large numbers. You should know that the Tatars at that time were only one million people, and almost all the young and middle-aged people were conscripted by the Qing government. The remaining old, weak, women and children could not make trouble even if they wanted to make trouble. Since the Qing Dynasty could do this, the Ming Dynasty could naturally do it. Of course, one of the premises was to temporarily suppress the Tatars with force first, otherwise there would be no way to discuss the recruitment of the troops.

Xu Jin nodded and said calmly: "Returning to the emperor, it is basically as Shangshu Fang said, but in specific operations, other measures need to be coordinated, such as encouraging the Han people to settle down and farm, intermarry with the Tatars, etc., to cultivate the Tatars' sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty since childhood. In time, this nation will be completely integrated into our Ming Dynasty."

Qin Jin, the Minister of Revenue, frowned and said, "These are simple to say, but it is not easy to do it. For example, if there are bitter, cold and poor outside the border, I am afraid that not many people are willing to go out to settle down. My Ming Dynasty mobilized many troops and consumed countless money and food. Even if I finally conquered the Tatars and obtained a vast barren land, it is actually not cost-effective."

Xu Jin couldn't help but speechless. Qin's God of Wealth did not leave his business. In his eyes, he was also money. However, with such a dedicated and responsible Minister of Finance, it would be difficult for the treasury to have no money.

Xu Jin organized a speech in his heart and said, "Mr. Qin is a bad word. First of all, as my Duke said before, stability is the cornerstone of development. Without a stable environment, everything else is futile. Tatars are the biggest threat to the north of our Ming Dynasty. They are more serious than the Japanese pirates. As long as this hidden danger can be solved, no matter how much money and food is consumed, it is worth it. Secondly, outside the border is not all bitter and cold barren land, such as the Hetao Plain, Fengzhou Sichuan, Hulunbuir, etc. These are all fertile fields with abundant water and grass, suitable for farming and peasantry. I believe that the people of our Ming Dynasty will be happy to settle there. In addition, the mineral resources outside the border...akeep, coal, copper, iron, silver, uranium, germanium, rare earths... Anyway, it is very rich. The Ming Dynasty not only did not lose money, but also made a lot of money."

The officials in the hall couldn't help but look at each other, but Qin Jin's eyes shone. Although he didn't know what uranium, germanium, and rare earths were, he knew coal, copper, iron, and silver, especially silver and copper, which were just silver and money!

Qin Caishen is a real person, and everything is easy to deal with with money. He said righteously: "If it is true as Duke Jingguo said, I agree to send troops to the north, but how much money I spent in the war, at least I have to balance income and expenditure. Otherwise, I will definitely participate in Duke Jingguo's first copy in the future."

Xu Jin couldn't help but laugh and cry. This person is really the one who recognizes money but not people. Fortunately, Xu Jin is a time traveler and still has some knowledge of how many minerals were found in Mongolia in later generations. At least the amount of coal is very huge. The largest rare earth mine in the country is in Inner Mongolia. Of course, rare earths should be useless in the Ming Dynasty for the time being.

"Mr. Qin, it's not my country's lord. If our Ming Dynasty can occupy the Tatars, we can repay the capital within three years and make several times the profit within ten years. Of course, we still need some investment in the early stage!" Xu Jin said in a straightforward manner.

Qin Jin's eyes became even hotter when he heard this, and he nodded and said, "It's so good!"

Jin Xianmin could no longer listen and scolded coldly: "Don't be too sarcastic to deceive the public. What Duke Jingguo said was based on the premise of conquering the Tatars by force. If it could not be done, no matter how much it was said, it would be futile!"

Xu Jin raised his sword eyebrows slightly and said indifferently: "The Jin Pavilion means to do nothing, just wait for a job to get something for nothing?"

Jin Xianmin snorted coldly: "Sun Tzu said: The superior army attacks the plan, and the second is the second is the enemy. The subordinate army attacks the troops, and the subordinate attacks the cities. Solving the Tatar problem is not a must-send troops. If you don't send troops, you will defend the city and live in peace with the people. This is what I mean."

Xu Jin said calmly: "I mean to send troops to the north and make a move once and for all. Since we have different opinions, why not listen to the opinions of all colleagues present?"

Jin Xianmin looked angry and shouted loudly: "Xu Ziqian, for your own selfishness, you are confused about the public, and you are tempted by the emperor and the army is powerful and powerful. History will not allow you." After that, he knelt down and cried to Jiajing on the imperial throne: "Your Majesty, Xu Jin is so happy with me and strongly encourages the emperor to send troops to fight the north. If the army is defeated, it will trap our Ming Dynasty in a land of no return. The old minister here begs the emperor to think twice before he can do it. As the saying goes, good medicine is good for illness, and loyal words are bad for action. The old minister is the chief minister of the cabinet. If he cannot advise the king to be kind (good), it is a dereliction of duty. If the emperor insists on sending troops to fight the north, then the old minister can only beg his bones to return home and take care of his old age."

It is obvious that Jin Xianmin found that the trend had changed at this moment, and the main war faction accounted for the majority. Even if everyone was asked to express his opinion, he would eventually be defeated, so he simply started to storm. Anyway, he failed to stop the troops from being sent, and he, the chief minister of the cabinet, could not be regarded as the chief minister of the cabinet, so it would be better to let go.

Jin Xianmin is nearly seventy years old this year. As the chief minister of the cabinet, he is kneeling in tears and crying and admonishing at this moment. It is really powerful, at least it is very sympathetic, so he knelt down one after another and a group of officials to support him. This time the number of people was obviously a little higher, reaching twenty.

Looking at the old man who was crying in front of the imperial throne, Jiajing was also a little panicked, but he quickly calmed down. After all, he had been in the imperial throne for six years and had never seen any storm before. He saw the boy standing up and actually walked around the imperial throne to help Jin Xianmin up, comforting him, "Jinqing's family, please get up quickly."

Jin Xianmin was flattered and stood up tremblingly, but she was still crying, as if she would fall down at any time.

Jiajing said sincerely: "I know the sincere heart of Jinqing family. Hey, Jinqing family is excited and trembles all over. Come and send Jinqing family to the side hall to rest and summon the imperial physician to treat it!"

Jin Xianmin felt as if he was hit by the head, his expression froze and he stopped shaking. However, the two eunuchs didn't care about it and helped him walk out of the hall.

Jin Xianmin's eyes rolled and almost fainted. Two little eunuchs carried him away from Wenhua Palace tremblingly, and could not say a word from beginning to end. If Jin Xianmin's trembling just now had the element of acting, then he was really trembling and angry now! When he met an emperor who was sent to the public without reason, the old Master Jin Pavilion was also terrified!

"Caring with kindness" Jiajing, who had finished the Jin Dynasty's presiding, sat back on the imperial seat and said as if nothing had happened: "You are peaceful, the Jin Dynasty's family is just emotionally excited, and it is not a big deal. The court will continue."

The Wenhua Hall was silent, and the twenty ministers kneeling on the ground had a wonderful expression. They stood up one after another as if they were constipated.

Jiajing glanced at the ministers present with a bright look, and all the ministers bowed their heads in awe.

Jiajing said in a deep voice: "As the saying goes, you will be clear, and listen to the partial will be dark. Since I ascended the throne, I have opened up a wide range of speeches and listened humbly to the opinions of my ministers. This Northern Expedition is no exception. You all don't have to worry about it. Even if you speak freely, if most people support the sending of troops, you will send troops to eliminate the hidden danger of Tatars in one fell swoop. If most people are in harmony, then negotiate with Altan."

"Your Majesty, I support sending troops. If you use the strategy of Duke Jingguo, you will surely pacify the Tatars in one fell swoop!" Fang Xianfu, the Minister of Personnel, took the lead in speaking out.

Jiajing nodded with praise, Fang Xianfu retreated happily, and then Xia Yan, Qin Jin, Wu Wending, Xu Jie, Cai Peng and others also expressed their support for the dispatch of troops. The generals naturally praised him. Soon, more than two-thirds of the officials present expressed their support, and the overall situation was settled!

The peacekeepers could only shake their heads and sigh. Even though the peacekeepers accounted for the majority before the court discussed, the situation turned sharply. Although the emperor's attitude was the main reason, the eloquence of Duke Jingguo Xu Jin also played a great role. As expected, everything was accomplished. What can you do!

Jiajing announced excitedly: "Since most of the ministers support the sending of troops to attack Altan, then I will do my best and choose a day to send troops to attack Altan in the north, so as to avenge the shame of the past and promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty."
Chapter completed!
