Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

It is not so easy to return to the chieftain who has been rooted in the southwest for hundreds of thousands of years, and this is not a problem that can be solved by war.

If the balance is not well grasped, an opportunity will appear, and the emperor has no doubt that even if the current Southwest War is over, even if the land reform is successful, there will be chaos, and there will still be chaos.

It took a long time for the emperor to put down these melodies, and after taking a long breath, he also slumped on the back of the chair, his eyes still lingering on the map of Daheng.

Once the battle is determined to be fought, the next thing to consider is how to fight this battle.

Since we want to fight, it is natural not only to fight against Mongolia, but also the three major tribes of Zhungeer.

This is no longer a question of whether Daheng wants to fight, everyone understands the reason why his lips are dead and his teeth are cold.

This time, Lin Danhan dared to put on a Hongmen banquet brazenly, which caused a great change in the grassland. Among them, he must have reached a tacit agreement with the three major ministries of Jungar.

The speed of light truce between the two after that also clearly illustrates this point.

There is no doubt about Daheng's northern expedition. The two are very likely to join forces, or even form an alliance to fight against Daheng.

This seems to be impossible, it will be inevitable!

With the war together, the entire northern border will be full of flames of war.

The three parts of Tibet, the vast Mongolia.

In the later generations of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, only Zhun Geer's rebellion went through three dynasties and fought for decades, and it was still in the "prosperous age" of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. One can imagine how difficult it was.

Even though the Son of Heaven has confidence in the Daheng he created, no matter how confident he is, he cannot be blind.

The vastness of the grassland, the hardships of the northwest, the rejection of foreign lands... There are too many hardships in foreign wars.

Looking at this map, the emperor's mind seemed to have a more detailed map of the military situation than the map in front of him.

Grassland conquest, the most important thing is geography.

The nomads migrated and the grasslands were vast and deserted. These two points have been the biggest problems for the Central Plains dynasties to conquer the grasslands since ancient times.

The vast and open terrain is doomed to the army of the Central Plains Dynasty. It is difficult to substitute the experience of the Central Plains Conquest into the terrain of the grassland. In history, the Central Plains Dynasty conquered the grassland, and many people lost their way.

And the custom of migrating around, coupled with the vast and open terrain, doomed that if the grassland tribes avoided the war, it would be almost impossible to find their traces.

It is impossible for the army of the Central Plains Dynasty to be wasted in the grasslands, and the huge logistical pressure is firmly placed on the history and even the current Daheng.

The topography of the grassland is well known to the emperor. The general distribution of the various tribes in the grassland, the strength of the army and the people, and the leaders and dignitaries are also the focus of the duties of the Intelligence Department of the General Staff in these years.

Although the Son of Heaven has not been to the grassland for a long time, he is familiar with it by heart.

The same is true of Northwest Tibet.

But war is not something that can be done just by understanding it.

With the war, it is changing rapidly.

Whether it is Mongolia or Zhungeer, they are not underdogs.

Thoughts flashed away, and then, another problem, which was also followed by the conception of the war, came to the emperor's mind.

There are battles to be fought, but who can be the commander in chief?

In the northwest, on the grassland, there are at least two armies, and the two armies must be in the tens of thousands.

Hundreds of thousands of troops, who can be in charge?

"Duke Yasukuni?"

Subconsciously, the name of Erwazi appeared in Tianzi's mind, but only for a moment, this idea was suppressed by Tianzi.

Duke Liao has been in charge of northern Xinjiang for many years, and Duke Ding has supervised the Northwest military in Shaanxi for many years.

Let them do their best on weekdays, but leave them aside after the war, and live under others in the same state, this is really a chilling act, not the way to employ people.

But if it is determined, it is obviously not the best policy to choose between the Liao and Liao princes.

Ding, Liao and Liao, who is the commander-in-chief and who is the deputy commander-in-chief?

Among them, the primary and secondary are also difficult to distinguish.

While thinking, the emperor suddenly shook his head and smiled, but he was still confused.

It was arranged like this at the beginning, so I had an idea a long time ago!

The Son of Heaven got up, and his gaze was fixed on a pair of dragon armor stomachs beside the screen.

The emperor remembered clearly that this armored stomach was built by the Imperial City Ordnance Department at the beginning of his accession to the throne, when the royal conquest was in person.

Back then, he was wearing this armored stomach to defend against foreign enemies and win the battle for the founding of the country.

And after that battle, nearly ten years later, this armored stomach has been with him all the time, but it has never played its role again.

At this moment, the emperor also trembled suddenly.

Dispatch troops on the battlefield, and the royal driver will personally conquer.

He... has been away for too long...

7Chapter 17 Civil and Military Reaction

"Drive...drive..."

Horses were supposed to be forbidden to ride on the main street of the capital, and with the sound of hurried hooves, soldiers carrying dragon flags rode their horses and galloped.

Such a scene is already familiar to most of the people on the streets of the capital.

Who doesn't know that today's son has been away from Beijing for a long time to inspect, and this messenger carrying the dragon flag is the embodiment of the will of the emperor, but if there are delays and obstacles, it will be a matter of losing his head.

The war horse galloped through the streets of the capital, and finally, it reached the Liubu Street at the foot of the imperial palace. The will of the emperor also arrived at the center of the court.

This time, it was obviously different from usual.

The great changes in the grassland have been the center of gravity of the government and the public, and the intentions of all parties have rarely been unified so far.

As far as the emperor's place, the emperor's instructions have been pending for a long time, which seems to make the government and the public even more noisy.

Under each holding a word, there is no emperor's decision. One can imagine what the court scene was like during this period of time.

In the imperial palace, Wenyuan Pavilion and Wuyuan Pavilion stood almost opposite each other, respectively representing the central cabinet of the civil service system, and the general staff of the military system. Amid the hustle and bustle, the duties of the two departments were mostly the same.

As the center of civil and military affairs, it is naturally impossible to neglect national affairs because of personal opinions.

For the changes in the grassland, it is one thing to fight or not to fight, but it is another thing to prepare for it.

Under the deployment of the General Staff and Cabinet, the civil and military systems performed their duties. A large number of food, grass and military equipment were transported out of Beijing and escorted to northern Xinjiang. Officials and generals in northern Xinjiang were changed. Everything was carried out in an orderly manner amidst the hustle and bustle.

"Your Majesty has not decided yet, but I don't know what it means?"

In the cabinet, Zhao Bin, Minister of the Ministry of War, suddenly sighed amidst the clamor.

From the perspective of the cabinet ministers, their expressions were also different, but none of them said a word.

The court had different opinions, but how could they have no doubts about these important ministers who had followed the emperor for a long time.

Regardless of the pros and cons of fighting or not fighting, one thing is very clear.

That is, will the emperor take it for granted that the long-running northwest and grasslands will lose control?

Obviously, the emperor will never sit idly by.

The Son of Heaven will not just sit by and watch, then things will be simple.

There seems to be a tacit understanding in everyone's heart, and even a bold guess, but no one will break it.

"Your Majesty's will!"

Amidst the strange atmosphere, there was a sudden shout, and immediately after that, an official came in a hurry.

The sudden sound also made the hearts of all the cabinet ministers jump, and they all understood clearly when they looked at each other.

Immediately, Liu Qiyuan, the chief assistant of the cabinet, got up slowly, and stepped forward to take the emperor's will from the official. Although he had not read it, Liu Qiyuan was already sure of the emperor's will.

From the Marquis of Zhenbei in the Ming Dynasty, to the Duke of Qin who assisted the country in governing the country, to the emperor today.

After so many years, how could he not be clear about the emperor's temperament.

If this battle is not fought, it will be unprecedented.

His thoughts were only for a moment, Liu Qiyuan flipped through it, and what caught his eyes was the familiar handwriting of the Son of Heaven, vigorous and powerful.

Its content is also in sight.

as predicted!

Liu Qiyuan slowly put down the emperor's book, and all the cabinet ministers around him had already watched over.

"beat!"

Liu Qiyuan spit out a word slowly.

Following this word, the hall fell silent for an instant.

After a while, Hong Chengchou stepped forward quickly, and a group of cabinet ministers also stepped forward, and took the emperor's book one after another. After reading it in turn, the atmosphere in the hall could no longer freeze.

"This battle is not easy to fight."

After a long time, Hong Chengchou was the first to speak out, saying with emotion.

"It's not easy to fight!"

All the cabinet ministers nodded one after another. At this moment, they didn't say any more advice or words of refrainment.

The emperor has made a decision, and it is obviously a foregone conclusion. Besides, it is to disturb the morale of the army. They still have this overall situation.

"The Southwest War is not over yet, and Bai Lian is still hiding in secret. There will be another big war..."

"The scale of this battle is unprecedented, and the consumption of financial and material resources is probably also..."

Every word you say to me, all the cabinet ministers, is also expressing your worries about this battle.

But as he spoke, following Liu Qiyuan's words, the hall fell into deathly silence again.

"Your Majesty has never said who will lead the army as the commander-in-chief!"

In a word, it also made the cabinet ministers who were still worried about the war react.

You know, Son of Heaven, after the great change in the grassland, he stayed in Hetao and never left half a step.

Together with the war, Hetao is an important place in northern Xinjiang, and it is the place where the army goes out.

Whether it is a war against the northwest or against the grassland, the place that cannot be separated is the Hetao!

Under such circumstances, the emperor decided to go to war and stayed in Hetao, the meaning of which is undoubtedly clear.

"Royal drive and personal expedition!"

In an instant, this idea appeared in the minds of the cabinet ministers.

All of a sudden, all the cabinet ministers looked at each other again, not knowing what to say.

Compared to the silent atmosphere in Wenyuan Pavilion, the adjacent Wuyuan Pavilion seemed to be boiling!

Fighting bravely, eager for war, under Daheng's unique heavy military order, it seems to have become the normal state.

As the central headquarters of Daheng's million-strong army, the place where talents in the army gather, the general staff is naturally also a place where all war madness gathers.

Among the general staff, there are already countless plans for the war against the northwest and the grasslands. The general staff, dozens of military aircraft staff, and hundreds of counselors gather their wisdom on the war every day and night.

The grassland has undergone great changes, and those who advocate war are the most vicious, and they are the military staff members of the General Staff Headquarters.

Under the separation of civil and military, the general staff and the military staff obviously don't care about civil affairs.

In fact, the same is true. If you look at Daheng today from the perspective of a pure general, it has sufficient financial and material resources, elite armaments, foreign intelligence, and a mature layout, which have already met all the needs of the war.

As for the war, it will affect the country and bring disadvantages. Obviously, this is not an issue that the General Staff needs to consider.

Victory is what the general staff needs to consider.

Pros and cons, that is the emperor, the civil service system, to maintain consideration.

It is also in such a state of thirst for war that Daheng has forged a continuous expansion of the outside world. The southwest, northwest, and northern borders have continued to move big and small over the years. Neither should be underestimated.

But at the moment, the grassland has undergone major changes, and the northern expedition is on the way!

The scale of the battle is probably comparable to that of no other war except for the battle for the founding of the country back then.

A battle for the founding of the country has created hundreds of martial arts, and it has completely transformed the former brave martial arts into a Daheng martial arts capable of suppressing the world.

And now...

The great war is about to start, and in the Wuyuan Pavilion, the emperor's will has arrived, and it is already boiling!
