Chapter 146 Thirty thousand elite troops send troops to the Northeast!
Zhu Di really couldn't stand it anymore. He now felt that if the Ming Dynasty did not fall, he would not be able to live up to the "great achievements" of these good sons and grandsons of the prince's lineage.
Zhang Juzheng calmly defeated the ministers, set up the affairs of the country, and put food on the emperor's lips. But...it was ruined within a few years?
You really deserve to die!!
[Since the same year, the struggle to establish the crown prince has evolved into a protracted "country-based dispute." The feud for the royal family in the court has become increasingly fierce, and they are competing against each other. The Donglin Party, the Xuan Party, the Kun Party, the Qi Party, and the Zhejiang Party
The party has many names.]
[The dispute with the cabinet lasted for more than ten years because of the matter of establishing the crown prince. In the end, he simply did not leave the palace for thirty years, ignoring the government affairs, not going to the countryside, not to the temple, not to the court, not seeing, not criticizing, and not talking about it. ]
[In the eleventh year of Wanli, Nurhachi raised his troops with his ancestors and his father’s legacy, the Thirteenth Lieutenant, and launched a annexation war against the Jurchen tribes in Jianzhou, unifying the Jurchen tribes in Jianzhou. He successively annexed the Haixi Jurchens and the East China Sea Jurchens, and unified the Jurchen tribes in the Northeast.
.In the first year of Tianming, Nurhaci was proclaimed Khan, the country was named Jin, and the Yuan Dynasty was established.]
[The Houjin Dynasty in Liaodong rose rapidly and continuously sent troops to the south to attack the Ming army. The Liaodong War broke out. On the first day of the first lunar month in the forty-fourth year of Wanli, the Houjin regime was officially established. Since then, the situation in Liaodong has also gone from bad to worse. Especially
After the Eastern Expedition to Aid Korea and the mining tax that sent Gaohuai to chaos in the Liao Dynasty, the border defenses in eastern Liaoning were empty, the army and the people were in dire straits, supplies were difficult, and the border troops were repeatedly defeated.]
[In March of the 47th month of Wanli period, in the Battle of Sarhu, the Ming army's four armies and three armies were completely annihilated, with a loss of 90,000 troops, and the defeat was complete. 】
[The Liaodong War requires more than four million taels of silver each year. In order to cope with this huge military expenditure, starting from September of the 46th year of Wanli, you have ordered three times to distribute additional land taxes across the country, which were called "Liao rates" at the time. Three rates (
Not only did the additional dispatches of Liao's (Liao's), Suppress''s' (Liao's), and Lian's (Liao's) rates not help, it actually aroused civil unrest in various places, just like a raging fire burning in a coal mine. Once it is ignited, it can never be extinguished.】
【You are very tired, because you know that the great empire has decayed to the core and the building will collapse.】
【The Ming Dynasty is over.】
[There is no King Qi to save the world this time, because your dear grandfather, Emperor Jiajing, has already used a war against the southwest to wipe out the last bit of kindness between the Ming Dynasty and Prince Qi’s Palace.]
The prince's chair had not yet warmed up. Hearing these words, he stood up and said sternly: "This matter is of great importance. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"
On the other hand, with its strong strength, it intervened in Liaodong affairs to prevent Nurhaci from unifying the Jurchen tribes. For example, in the 41st year of Wanli, Nurhaci attacked the Yehe tribe. The imperial court sent guerrilla Ma Shinan, and Zhou Daqi led thousands of troops to station in Yehe. Nurhachi was forced to
Withdrawing troops. Another example is the forty-three years of Wanli, when Nurhachi planned to defeat Ye He in one fell swoop, but gave up again due to the interference of the Ming Dynasty.
[In his forty-eight years in office, he spent every day under the oppression of his ministers. You fought and compromised, and the final result was the Wanli Emperor who had not been in court for thirty years. The defeat of Saarhu was an overwhelming blow to you.
The last straw.]
Even if the war is won, if the domestic economy collapses because of the war, it is better not to fight at all!
If it were in the past, the emperor would have been a big-eared thunderbolt, but today he was in a good mood and did not argue too much with King Qi.
…
Zhu Di was furious and shouted to Tang Cheng, the great eunuch outside the palace, "Preach my decree! Call the prince, King Qi, the ministers of the Ministry of Hu and the Ministry of war, as well as the British Duke and Cheng Guogong to meet in the imperial study!"
However, for the current Ming Dynasty, the national power is strong, there is no need to play these empty games, just push it horizontally!
The straight line between two points is the shortest. This barbaric and crude method is the most efficient method!
I can take care of you all, so why bother engaging in "using barbarians to control barbarians" and "strategic advancement"?
Zhu Di was not used to this Xia Laoji this time, and said coldly: "What are you talking about? It's not the food fodder for an army of 300,000 people. The Ministry of Household Affairs can't come up with the food fodder for 30,000 people?"
Mr. Xia made it very clear: How long has it been since the battle in Mobei was over? Why is there another war? It’s not over?
Now that you, Emperor Yongle, have beaten up all our old neighbors in the Ming Dynasty, whoever sees the flag of the Ming army will have to run away without their armor, so why do you think you are going to fight?
Transfer internal conflicts to external outlets.
Not long after, everyone rushed to the imperial study room to discuss matters.
Zhu Gaojie thought for a moment and asked, "Father, will you take care of the food today?"
Xia Yuanji still retained his previous attitude: "No money!"
The prince's head suddenly became heavy. If King Qi takes command, King Qi's prestige will rise if he defeats him. If he loses, it will be the national strength of the Ming Dynasty. Regardless of victory or defeat, it will not be a good thing for the prince.
[You have never stepped out of the capital in your life. You were born in a deep palace and died in a deep palace. 】
"We surrounded the Northern Yuan Dynasty with Nuer Gandusi, but now the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty are already old dogs waiting to be slaughtered. In the future, the policy towards Nuergandusi will be nothing more than to use barbarians to control barbarians, in order to save national power." Zhu Gaojie said, "But
, who are not of my race, their minds must be different. If we continue to let it go like this, we will definitely create a formidable enemy of our dynasty in the northeast. Instead of waiting for the poison in the future, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the Jurchens are weak now and cut the mess with a quick knife!"
When he saw the defeat of Saarhu, he had already begun to calculate the remaining years of the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty is going to die.
First trick the donkey to finish the work, and then kill the donkey after finishing the work!
Zhu Di said angrily: "Why did you lie to me? You kid, stop messing around. I said I won't treat you badly, so I won't treat you badly."
Zhu Gaojie was amused: "Is it possible that the father is just trying to make fun of his son?"
Xia Yuanji asked in reply: "The food and fodder for these 30,000 people can be saved, so why does Your Majesty insist on sending troops to the Northeast?"
"I plan to..." His Majesty the Emperor suddenly smiled and said, "Let King Qi serve as the commander-in-chief, and Duke Yingying and Duke Cheng will assist in military affairs. He will lead 30,000 elite troops and send troops to the northeast!"
Prince Qi's Mansion led the troops in the war, and the East Palace handled the logistics, alleviating the high pressure caused by the party struggle through unanimous external war.
As Nurhachi continued to expand and his power became more and more powerful, he had actually attracted the attention of the imperial court. However, the imperial court still had no intention of directly intervening at this time, and instead continued to let them fight each other. On the one hand, the imperial court vigorously supported the Hada Tribe of the Haixi Jurchens to contain Nurhaci. Even after the death of Wang Tai, the leader of the Hada Tribe, the Hada Tribe fell into civil strife, and the Ye He Tribe took the opportunity to seize the power of the Haixi Jurchens. They still did not give up.
This established strategy continues to support the descendants of Wang Tai, the leader of the Hada tribe.
Everyone knows His Majesty the Emperor's style of doing things. Whenever something dissatisfies you, he will go to war. If you go to war, it will probably be a personal expedition by the imperial commander. Once the imperial commander personally goes to war, it will surely affect the whole body, and it can easily involve hundreds of thousands of people.
War, no matter how rich your family is, you can’t afford to spend it like this!
Zhu Di sat on the golden chair and said to Wang Zha: "Let's discuss it. I want to destroy the Jurchens. Please give me an idea."
The two seem to be quite balanced. Although small frictions continue, major conflicts have never been brought to the table. Compared with the previous party struggle with the King of Han, the party struggle between Prince Qi's Palace and the East Palace is more subtle and vicious.
The imperial court's strategy in Jianzhou and Liaodong has always been very dazzling. Even in the late Ming Dynasty, it still maintained this strategy of building fortifications and advancing.
[In the reign of my old father, Emperor Longqing, several pavilion elders thought about adding the land of the five provinces to King Qi. However, they were not trying to ease the relationship with King Qi's palace, but purely for profit. However, this plan
It was also forced to stop because your old father passed away suddenly.】
The battle is mine, and you take the benefits. Why?
Even if you are my father, you can't bully people like this.
In fact, it was the Ming Dynasty's established strategy to let the various Jurchen tribes fight fiercely. For this reason, after Nurhaci defeated Ye He's nine coalition forces in the "Battle of Gule Mountain" in the 21st year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty also used Nurhaci to protect him.
If he has made great achievements, he will be promoted to the General of Dragon and Tiger, and will be given a seal and the sword of General of Dragon and Tiger.
It's a pity that the Ming Dynasty was already terminally ill, and even good doctors could not save the country.
"What the fourth brother said is a bit exaggerated." The prince said solemnly, "Ruling a big country is like cooking small delicacies. It is governed according to the customs. It is based on the land, and the guards are divided into several. They are commanded by their chiefs and allowed to cultivate and herd.
, let them fly and hunt, so that everyone can live in peace, and they belong to the whole system."
After the conversation was over, everyone else went back to their homes, but Zhu Gaojie stayed behind.
"My minister, Zhu Yong, seconded the proposal."
He kind of missed the gentle and taciturn Zhu Gaojie when he was in Prince Yan's Mansion.
The two of them were eating and drinking at the table. Zhu Gaojiu thought that today's dish was to his liking. There was something wrong with the roasted sea cucumber with green onion, but he didn't play football, so there was nothing wrong with it.
Without Zhang Juzheng, the Ming Dynasty might not have to wait any longer and could have declared its subjugation before Wanli's death.
"Then if my son wins the battle, what reward will my father give me?" Zhu Gaojie also did not engage in loss-making business.
Boy, it was your idea to send troops to the Jurchens in the first place. Now that I have shouldered the burden for you, why don’t you come out and speak to your father?
"Nuharchi...Jianzhou Jurchen?"
"Don't worry, I'm not going to conquer it myself this time." Zhu Di said leisurely.
Not long after, the female officer of the Shangshi Bureau came forward with a yellow handkerchief and a wedding dress, saluted, and took out the food and wine carefully prepared by the Shangshi Supervisor from the lunch box.
This woman really deserves to be killed!
Zhu Di was not surprised by this result. What surprised him was the person "Zhang Juzheng".
As a rising star, Nurhaci did not originally have an advantage in the battle between the Jurchen tribes. No one expected that Nurhaci could quickly kill the Ula tribe, and the most powerful Yehe tribe was quickly defeated by Nurhachi. I am afraid that even the Ming Dynasty himself
Unexpectedly, the strategy I had been playing for two hundred years actually failed.
"King" is added with white, and it is called "Emperor".
Of course, this "emperor" cannot refer to the emperor. Zhu Di felt that he could live for a long time and there was no need to give up the throne.
Zhu Gaojie's face turned cold, "The British Dukes sitting here, Duke Cheng Guo, like me, are serving in the military. For us, no matter how good a century-old plan is, it must be implemented for a hundred years. Why not do it once and for all?
Cutting off the roots?”
Zhu Di did not give the princelings a chance to continue to refute, and directly made the decision: "I have made up my mind and ordered King Qi to select 30,000 elites from the three major battalions, the British Duke Zhang Fu, and the Chengguo Duke Zhu Yong to train military horses.
Listen to King Qi's restraint and go out to establish the state."
Who doesn't know that the old man's pie-making skills are top-notch. The pie-making never stops and the cashing never begins.
There are three side dishes on the small table, roasted sea cucumber with green onions, cold shredded bamboo shoots, roasted mutton, and a pot of fine Huadiao wine.
The two princes were the first to express their full support for Zhu Gaojie.
"My father, let me tell you everything, and I will feel at ease." Zhu Gaojie did not accept being fooled at all.
Zhu Di was confused. He thought this little beast had something important to say, but he didn't expect that he would start talking like this.
Zhu Di thought for a while, dipped his finger in the wine, and wrote "白" on the table.
"Brother, what you said is good, but how can you ensure that you can implement what you said?"
The sadness did not disappear, but was transferred from the Ming Dynasty to the Jurchens.
Since returning from the Northern Expedition, party disputes have continued in the capital and the atmosphere has been gloomy. The best solution to this problem is to transfer the conflict.
The prince felt extremely uncomfortable after hearing this.
[Zhu Yijun’s emperor’s life simulation is completed.]
…
King Qi was in command, with Zhang Fu and Zhu Yong as his deputies, and he selected 30,000 elites from the three major battalions of the capital. What a luxurious lineup this was!
His Majesty the Emperor has made up his mind to make the ancestors of "Nurhachi" disappear from this world.
King Qi was so cute when he was a child, so how did he turn into this macho model of "I'll fuck whoever I see displeased" when he grew up?
"Your Majesty Zhang Fu, second the proposal."
Jianzhou Jurchen, what King Qi said is really insightful.
The hawks headed by King Qi were supported by British Duke Zhang Fu and Cheng Guo Duke Zhu Yong.
The prince was relieved after hearing this.
Zhu Di was speechless for a moment and looked at Zhu Gaojie.
"I've taken the pressure off for you. If you can't win this battle, I'll behead you when you come back." Zhu Di said with a smile.
[On the 21st day of the seventh month in the forty-eighth year of Wanli, you died in the Hongde Hall at the age of fifty-eight. On the 22nd, the funeral was held, and on the 23rd, a posthumous edict was issued, naming the crown prince Zhu Changluo as his heir. On the 10th day of the ninth month, he was honored with a posthumous title.
Shenzong, Fan Tianhe, Daozhe, Sudun, Jianguang, Wen Wu, Anren, Zhi Xiaoxian, the emperor, the temple name Shenzong. On the third day of October, he was buried in Dingling.]
Of course, the reason why Zhu Di started the war would not be that simple.
Zhu Di filled the wine cup in front of him and said, neither salty nor light, "I will not treat you badly."
Xia Yuanji, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, said slowly: "Your Majesty just returned from a victorious battle in Mobei last year, and the shortfall in salary and silver can hardly be filled. Now that the border towns are peaceful, why send troops to the northeast? I am afraid that I cannot make ends meet."
The dove faction headed by the prince was supported by Xia Yuanji, the minister of household affairs, and Fang Bin, the minister of war.
His Majesty the Emperor summoned a total of two princes and four ministers, and their factions were clearly divided.
"Little Chengzi, prepare some side dishes." Zhu Di waved to Tang Cheng.
"If you win the battle, I will give you a white hat."
This "emperor" refers to the future "emperor", that is, the "Crown Prince"!
Zhu Gaojie's movements suddenly froze, and he forgot to cook for a while.
This cake, old man, is too big to draw, isn't it?
Or are you serious about Zhu Di not drawing cakes this time?
Zhu Di picked up the wine glass, but his eyes stayed on King Qi's face, trying to find out King Qi's ambition.
Zhu Di couldn't resist the temptation of the white hat twenty years ago, and he didn't think King Qi could resist it.
