Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

"Your Majesty! In fact, many problems in Liao Qian have been exposed through the defeat of Liuhe. If the imperial court does not pay attention to it and try to solve these problems, I am afraid that Liao Qian will definitely make mistakes."

While some people in the outer dynasty were plotting for their own benefit, at that time in the Wuying Hall, the Military Aircraft Department was conducting a discussion on the Battle of Liuhe.

The words of the Minister of Military and Aircraft Wang Zaijin caused a sudden change in the atmosphere in the palace. Liu Hongxun, Li Banghua and other military ministers also had serious expressions.

"Then let's talk."

Zhu Youxiao, who stood with his hands behind his hands, stared at the war sand table in front of him and said without changing his expression: "There are indeed many long-term disadvantages in Liaodong that need to be solved, but how to solve them specifically is not enough to rely on guesswork, we must come up with practical strategies. That’s all.”

Previously, the military officials were summoned to discuss the Liao affairs. Afterwards, Wang Zaijin, Liu Hongxun, and Li Banghua wrote down their views on the situation before the Liao Dynasty. Zhu Youxiao read them one by one.

The mistake was due to something happening. Zhu Youxiao had already summoned Wang Zaijin and the others to continue playing.

In today's Ming Dynasty, if you really want to do some practical things, it doesn't mean that your planning and deployment are excellent and your ideas are novel, so that they can be effectively implemented.

Before absolutely doing these things, or during the implementation process, it is necessary to compete with some people. After all, interests are involved, and calculations and constraints are inevitable. Therefore, the prerequisite for doing practical things is to compete with others first. To fight, in this process, you have to spare your energy to implement things, otherwise everything will be just talk.

"Actually, the memorial I submitted earlier involves what I want to say." Wang Zaijin's expression was serious, his eyes were fixed on the war sand table in front of him, and his tone was low.

"First, the generals who commanded the troops in Liao were seriously divided. They were either the main war faction or the peace faction. However, the troops they commanded in Liao were different and they were stationed in different places. This led to any changes before Liao. , or if there is a war, there will be no guarantee that there will be constraints."

"Secondly, the existing guard posts in Liao have been completely corrupted. Especially those hereditary guard officials have long given up any hope of regaining Liaodong. They just want to hold on to their one-third of an acre and ensure that there are no problems in their guard posts. That’s it, they never care about anything else.”

"Thirdly, around the above two points, there may be factions among the Liao military commanders. I feel that what Xiong Tingbi said at the beginning about the Liao people is not credible. This is by no means empty talk. There are even many things that the imperial court Didn’t notice it!”

"Fourth, from the front line of Shanhaiguan Town to the main line of Jinlingqian, the connections between them are intricate. Some are subordinate to the Liaodong Economic Strategy Office, and some are subordinate to the Liaodong Governor's Office. The connection with the maritime garrison is even weaker. It is a taboo for military strategists to send orders to many places!"

When talking about this, Wang Zaijin paused deliberately to observe the emperor's expression. If what he said were spread, it would definitely cause an uproar.

If someone really picks up the words, then someone will definitely point out that what Wang Zaijin said is clearly meant to say that the current Liaoqian front line is a lawless land independent of the Ming Dynasty.

"In addition to the above-mentioned problems, I have also discovered many thorny issues."

Seeing Wang Zaijin stop, Liu Hongxun frowned and stepped forward and said: "The imperial court established the two important positions of Liaodong Manager and Liaodong Governor in order to stabilize the situation in Liaodong. However, judging from the actual situation, even if the two governments cooperate tacitly, there are still some problems. In things, there are inevitably deviations. This may not be what the people above think, but maybe the problem lies below!!”

"It's more than just that."

Li Banghua followed closely and said: "What makes me even more worried is that there is no valuable military information about the actual situation of Jianlu before Liao Dynasty."

"On the other hand, Jianlu has a very clear grasp of our various ministries guarding the Liao. I have to doubt the fact that in many areas before the Liao, it is very likely that there are a large number of infiltration secrets, and even officials who served in the Liao There may be some among the generals who are secretly maintaining illicit dealings with Jianlu!!"

As soon as Li Banghua said these words, the expressions of many of the military ministers changed. These words were too heart-wrenching! !

"...The imperial court spent so much money, food, and energy before. It seems like a big joke now!!"

Zhu Youxiao smiled and shook his head at this moment, "What I can't understand the most is that the cavalry guarding Guanning did not react at all. This has to make me suspicious. Some people are interested in Ma Shilong's appointment as the chief military officer of Shanhaiguan. There is strong dissatisfaction!!!”

Looking at the essence through phenomena, in fact, there are too many things that cannot withstand scrutiny at all, especially when it comes to war. If you really study some things carefully, you will find that there are too many problems.

"Supporting soldiers to respect themselves, eating empty pay and drinking soldiers' blood, military equipment is lax, and guard posts are rotten..." Under the different thoughts of the ministers in the palace, Zhu Youxiao continued: "These have become established facts, how to change them, how to Rectification, that’s what we need to consider now.”

"As long as some things involve interests, say Ming Dynasty's ministers, Ming Dynasty generals, and Ming Dynasty soldiers, then they can also take the lead in resisting the court and resisting Ming Dynasty!!"

Wang Zaijin, Liu Hongxun, and Li Banghua all lowered their heads.

If there had not been this Liuhe defeat, perhaps they would still have had a glimmer of hope in Liaodong, feeling that it could be properly resolved with the intervention of the imperial court.

But it was precisely this defeat that made Wang Zaijin and others have no hope for Liaodong deep in their hearts. It was like a useless thing. It was a pity to leave it useless. How to choose was the biggest test for the court.

If you really want to stay, you will have to solve these long-standing disadvantages and cancers. But if you really want to touch these, as the emperor said, there will definitely be a big chaos in Liaoqian, and then the Jianlu will be able to take advantage of it.

But if you choose to give up, all the previous efforts will be in vain, and even the entire Liaodong will be handed over to the Jianlu. And the most critical point is that the Jianlu can harass Shanhaiguan anytime and anywhere, and even bypass the Liaoxi Corridor and join forces with the Mongolian Tatars Bandits from various tribes raided and harassed the borders within the pass!

No matter which situation it is, it is not good for Daming.

It seems that there is no retreat for the Liao strategy.

There is no other choice but to fight this battle.

Zhu Youxiao's eyes narrowed slightly, but he was thinking secretly in his heart. Originally, Zhu Youxiao wanted to fight this battle to build a strong army and raise the imperial power to a new level, but what happened during this period All kinds of things gave Zhu Youxiao more issues to consider.

This feeling of being stuck in the mire and unable to breathe is too uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty~"

At this moment, Liu Ruoyu, who was waiting outside the hall, bravely walked into the hall, holding a thick memorial in his hand, which attracted the attention of many people in the hall.

Is there another trouble in the outer court?

After Wang Zaijin, Liu Hongxun, and Li Banghua saw this, they all had an idea in their hearts.

And this is something they want to say but dare not mention.

If we want to properly solve the problem in Liaodong, we must not only consider Liaodong, but also the central government. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get things done.

"If each one of them doesn't find something to do for me, they will feel uncomfortable, right?"

While the ministers were thinking a lot, Zhu Youxiao, who took over the memorial and read it, snorted coldly and said: "I won't listen to their advice. Go and send someone to the cabinet." Go, I don’t want what they think, what I think is the key!!”

"The slaves obey the order."

Liu Ruoyu immediately bowed in response.

Just watching Liu Ruoyu's leaving figure, deep in Zhu Youxiao's heart, he had a strong idea that the cabinet must be replaced, otherwise it would be difficult to accomplish many things!

Since the short-lived Taichang Dynasty, the cabinet seems to have lost its responsibility. If anything happens in the government, the cabinet will be at the forefront. Is this the meaning of the permanent cabinet?

no! !

The cabinet assists the emperor in dealing with important affairs and solves problems for the country and the country. However, the current cabinet has gradually evolved into a weak party.

This weakness is not a dispute between imperial power and ministerial power, but among the civil servants. Under some special circumstances, the cabinet simply cannot deter foreign ministers.

In Zhu Youxiao's opinion, this is simply a joke! !

"Continue to talk about Liaodong." Although Zhu Youxiao said this, deep down in his heart, he had already made up his mind. Some things can be solved slowly, but some things must be cut quickly, otherwise It will only aggravate the chaos within the Ming Dynasty, which is definitely not what Zhu Youxiao wants to see! !
