Unlike Wang Chengen who focused on buying some stocks and making some money, Chongzhen would not pay attention to this matter. Even if he did, it was the queen's business.
He was thinking about how to abolish the nine general soldiers in the trilateral governor-general area after Dingyuan Bo's victory.
Chongzhen thought in his mind, looking at this situation, Zhuozi Mountain City is no longer a problem. After taking Zhuozi Mountain, it will be naturalized in just a short time. It seems that many things need to be prepared in advance.
"The Xuan Cabinet is here. I want to discuss with them the specific matters of the Qing army." Chongzhen said.
Watching Wang Chengen happily go to the Xuan Cabinet to meet with him. Chongzhen couldn't help but took out a pack of fiery red Daming Wannian brand cigarettes from the drawer, started it with a ding of gold-plated Zippo sent by Yang Fan, and lit the cigarette.
, started smoking.
He just likes the design of this cigarette box, which looks festive. Especially the brand name, which reads "Ming Dynasty Ten Thousand Years" makes him feel uplifted.
While puffing away the clouds, Chongzhen was still thinking. From this point of view, it took two days to conquer Jining. It probably took one day to conquer Zhuozishan.
Guihua City can be fought for a few days, and it probably won't be too long. Once the three cities of Guihua, Jiuyuan, and Linhe are captured, the coat will be basically pacified.
The coat mainly refers to the narrow farming and grassland area north of the Yellow River and south of the Yinshan Mountains.
Neitao refers to the Ordos Plateau within the shape of the Yellow River, south of the Yellow River and north of the Great Wall of Northern Shaanxi.
Xitao refers to a large triangular desert area west of the Helan Mountains in Ningxia, north of the Great Wall of the Hexi Corridor in Gansu, and south of the Altai Mountains in Xinjiang and the Gobi Altai Mountains. It is also called Alxa Mongolia.
Once the coat is taken, the nine general soldiers under the governors of the three sides can be mobilized immediately to cooperate with the Beijing camp to siege the Ordos department.
Once the inner sleeve is removed, the entire northwest region will be completely sealed off. Part or even most of the important towns on the nine sides can be eliminated.
Chongzhen was thinking in his mind, it seemed that he had to plan in advance to rectify the army.
He didn't think Yang Fan could capture the last remnant of Monan Mongolia.
It is only a matter of time before the three tribes of Tumut, Ordos and Alxa will be destroyed.
As for Jin Yiwei's reminder that the Mongolian tribes in the north and south of Qinghai, the Tianshan Mountains, and the northwest of the Altai Mountains had some unusual movements, he did not pay attention to them.
In his view, the Mongol Empire was already a thing of the past. The four major khanates had fought to death and survived. Now, except for Yarkand in southern Xinjiang, which is considered the successor of the Chagatai Khanate, the other major khanates have split into
There are countless small states. The hatred between them is much higher than that of the Ming Dynasty. It is strange that they can unite.
Wang Chengen left Qianqing Palace and headed towards Wenyuan Pavilion.
The cabinet of the Ming Dynasty was located in Wenyuan Pavilion. This was the center of administrative power of the Ming Dynasty.
There is a complex of buildings in the southeast of the Forbidden City called the Wenhua Palace Complex.
Wenhua Hall is laid out in the shape of "Gong" and is divided into two small halls, front and rear. The front hall is Wenhua Hall, with a yellow glazed tiled roof. The back hall is called the Lord Jing Hall, and its regulations are similar to Wenhua Hall. Wenhua Hall and the main hall
The Jing Halls are connected by corridors.
In the early Ming Dynasty, the Wenhua Hall was the place where the crown prince watched government affairs. In the mid-Ming Dynasty, it was changed to a place where Buddhist banquets were held.
At the very back of this large courtyard, there is a wooden structure with two floors and three floors. It is called Wenyuan Pavilion and is the location of the Royal Library.
During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister of the cabinet, made this most humble house in the Forbidden City become a prominent place.
The cabinet working in Wenyuan Pavilion became the de facto government decision-making team of the Ming Dynasty.
It is said that the Forbidden City has 9999.5 houses. This half of the house is in Wenyuan Pavilion. It is a stairwell and is considered half a room.
Wang Chengen left after conveying the emperor's will.
There were two people on the verandah on the third floor, holding on to the railing and smoking cigarettes, watching Wang Chengen leave.
The first assistant Li Biao looked at the second assistant Qian Longxi and said: "Uncle Dingyuan is really capable in fighting. He just came out of seclusion and captured Jining in two days. During the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols had several internal strife.
Ning has never been defeated, but it is known as a strong city."
"Why do you think His Majesty summoned us at this time?"
Qian Longxi frowned and said: "Nine times out of ten, it is a matter of the Qing army. Your Majesty wants to hide behind the scenes and let us come forward to the Qing army. However, he also wants to take this opportunity to seize Xuanda's military power. Now, Mo Mo
Nan has been basically cleared. There are no Mongols outside Ji Town, Xuanfu Town, and Datong Town. Your Majesty is more anxious than us to abolish Jiubian."
Li Biao said: "Your Majesty has taken control of the Beijing camp, and he must not continue to control the border troops on the nine sides. Otherwise, according to today's temper, he may embark on the path of militarism. The Ming Dynasty is now full-screen and hanging in one breath, but it is absolutely troublesome.
It’s amazing.”
"We want to reorganize the army in order to save the court's expenses. But if His Majesty wants to take charge of this matter, he can only capture the elite soldiers. If all nine sides are abolished, there will be a total of fifteen general soldiers. After eliminating the weak and retaining the strong, he will be transferred
After arriving at Chifeng City and Fuxin City, I'm worried that His Majesty will launch an attack on Jiannu next." Qian Longxi said worriedly.
"Alas! In the entire court, His Majesty is the only one who is obsessed with regaining Liaodong. Your Majesty does not understand that the Ming Dynasty's army is not capable of fighting against the slaves. The Ming Dynasty's finances cannot provide this military expenditure. At this time, only
The key to Lao Cheng's plan to seek a country is to first maintain a peaceful environment with Jiannu and concentrate on solving the internal problems of the Ming Dynasty."
In Li Biao's view, or in the Donglin Party's view, the fundamental reason for the mess in the Ming Dynasty is that the civil service group was torn apart due to party strife. Various factions, no matter whether they are right or wrong, on major national affairs, only the party agrees to fight against differences.
The country is half paralyzed.
If Donglin wants to change this situation, he must take back power and clean up these messy factions such as the Jin Party, the Lu Party, the Chu Party, and the Zhejiang Party, and achieve unification of political orders.
"This time, we don't want to openly oppose His Majesty. We just need to seize the leadership of the Qing army. We will work hard on the implementation. We will remove the best soldiers and leave the rest to Your Majesty. He can do whatever he likes.
He and we can also avoid conflict with His Majesty," Li Biao said.
People who do specific things should be placed there. This is the essence of Chinese-style power operation. These people who do specific things are more useful than those high-ranking officials.
If anything happens, it will be done privately without alerting the higher-ups at all.
No matter how rigorous the plan is, there is a lot of room for implementation and operation, and it can be operated privately.
"After these elite soldiers are taken away, what should we do with them? Where should we put them?" Qian Longxi asked.
"Leave it to Yuan Chonghuan first. We don't trust it if we leave it to anyone else. He can't hide it even if he has more troops. Anyway, Your Majesty also knows that Jiubian is a mess now. No one knows how many elite soldiers there really are."
