Although the call is over, Zhu Yijun still takes Shen Shixing's words to heart. Shen Shixing's views are mainly two: on the one hand, he does not advocate launching a counterattack against the Tumen in Liaodong, insisting that as long as the territory is firmly defended; On the other hand, there are criticisms of the household department, saying that the performance of the household department is unsatisfactory, that it is too rigid in its management of affairs, that it does not know how to be flexible, and that it is at a loss to deal with the sudden need to spend a lot of money.

In addition, Shen Shixing also had a sentence that impressed Zhu Yijun deeply, that is, he mentioned that "the fault is not determined by Ningxia Danyue, what should the household department do now?" ”

Zhu Yijun didn't know what to do, but he knew that judging from this year's situation, if the battle of pacifying Ningxia was fought for three months, the household department would probably be able to starve to death; In case it takes half a year, one of the households will be counted as one, and it will not be unjust to kill them all.

But according to normal speaking, the rebels are as high as 60,000, and the scene is called 200,000, and it is really not unusual for the counterinsurgency war to last for half a year. This time, it was basically decided after only one month of fighting, and there is really no other reason to talk about, it is completely unparalleled by high pragmatism.

Although Zhu Yijun doesn't know how to fight, he has been an emperor for more than ten years and has been in power for five years, so he can see where the two most critical points in this battle are.

He did not choose to lead the army straight to Ningxia and come to a common counterinsurgency method of gathering large armies and encircling them in several ways, but on the one hand ordered Li Rusong to strengthen the defense of Shaanxi, so as not to spread more widely in Ningxia, and at the same time personally led the troops to solve the problem of Ordos.

As an afterthought, Zhu Yijun can now see that Gao Shishi's style of play is a bit like what he told himself when he was a child, "encircling points for reinforcements", and as soon as he made a move, it was like the classic battle of "encirclement points and reinforcements" - the battle of Tang Zhenghu's prison pass, defeating the Ordos Department, which was regarded as Ningxia's backhand, and making the rebels in Ningxia City realize Wang Shichong's despair back then.

And in Zhu Yijun's view, Gao Pragmatic was even more effective than the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass this time, because he not only defeated "Dou Jiande", but also took the power of Hetao for his own use. After this battle, in addition to the 30,000 detachment troops sent by King Shunyi, Gao Pragmatic also obtained more than 40,000 cavalry from Taihu Hantong and Yile Duqi out of thin air, laying the foundation for defeating the Huoluochi brothers with razing.

"Razing and razing" is a trick played by all Chinese dynasties, but there are really not many good games, such as the early Tang Dynasty, which was still good, but it was played in the later period. Not only was the Anshi Rebellion launched by "Hu'er", but also the Qarluq people in the Battle of Talas, the Hui people in the recovery of Chang'an, etc., all of which were manifestations of getting rid of it.

According to Gao Pragmatic's statement back then, this is a manifestation of the decline of the Tang Dynasty itself, which leads to the inability to effectively deter the vassal army, but he also said that the control of the Tang Dynasty is different from the control of Tumut in this dynasty, the Tang Dynasty basically relies solely on military strength to control, while the Ming Dynasty's control of Tumut relies more on economic means - of course, there is still a military premise, that is, Tumut can neither fight in, nor grab what he wants.

These words were said by Gao Shishi to Zhu Yijun when he explained the feasibility of controlling Mongolia, and Zhu Yijun always remembered it very clearly, so as soon as Gao Shishi used this method this time, Zhu Yijun was even more happy. This shows that the truth that Gao Pragmatism said before is true, when Tumut could not obtain enough living materials in Daming by military means, he had to rely on Daming, and over time, when this dependence became stronger and stronger, and more and more habits were formed, they even had to use their own military strength for Daming.

After the battle of Monan, Gao Pragmatic said that he helped Daming guard the back road of Daning City, and Tokhtar only brought 10,000 or 20,000 cavalry out of the horse, and even received a thank you gift from Hannaji. A few years later, Ningxia put down the rebellion, and when Tokhtar went out again, he directly led 30,000 troops, not only helped to get Ordos, but also was willing to send troops to Gansu, and did not put forward other requirements, which is the proof of the success of "Xihuai".

Gao Shishi's first handling of the Ordos Department was the first reason why the battle of Ningxia was able to succeed so quickly, not only destroying the retreat and confidence of Bibai and others, but also directly adding more than 70,000 cavalry to himself, forming a huge military advantage over the Huoluochi brothers.

The second key point is the strategy used by Gao Pragmatic in the battle to capture Ningxia.

This strategy can also be divided into two parts, the first part is to surround but not fight, and the second part is to divide the strategy.

Defeated the main force of Bosoktu in one battle and won Lingzhou within one day. After World War II, the Ningxia rebels had a strong fear of the officers and troops led by Gao Shishi, so they had to retreat in the fortified city of Ningxia and resist stubbornly. At this time, Gao Pragmatic led 70,000 troops to the periphery of Ningxia City without fighting, what would it lead to? Of course, the people in the city were panicking, and no one knew how fierce the next thunder blow would be.

The reason is very simple: Xiao Li's flying knife that did not make a move is the most deterrent, because no one knows whether he will die under this knife next.

Under this ever-strengthening psychological deterrence, there will of course be different voices in Ningxia City, which is the meaning of surrounding but not fighting.

But this is not enough, Gao pragmatic did not have time to sit back and wait for them to "change over time", so the second plan appeared, discord - to add fuel to these different voices.

After Zhu Yijun received the battle report, he was really amazed by Gao Shipra's combination boxing. The victory in this battle is not that Gao pragmatic has exhausted the heavenly opportunity, but he has exhausted the hearts of the people.

Although this battle still put a few rounds of artillery in the end, it can be regarded as "not spending a single soldier" to take Ningxia Jiancheng, if this is not called the world's famous handsome, then what is a famous handsome?

So Shen Shixing's words actually make sense, if it weren't for Gao Shixing's battle being fought so quickly and smoothly, the household department would not have to run around every day and cry and say that there is really no money? Not to mention that if it is fought according to the ordinary counterinsurgency war, it is estimated that Ningxia will be almost useless after this war, and it may not be able to recover in ten years.

Zhu Yijun didn't know that after the Battle of Ningxia in the original history, Ningxia was really scrapped. In that war, the siege of the city alone lasted six months, during which the officials and soldiers used various tactics, and finally even the method of flooding Ningxia was sacrificed. After the fight, Ningxia City is basically not far from being scrapped, and I don't know how long it will take to relieve my breath.

When Zhu Yijun thought of this, he couldn't help but be dissatisfied with the household, and he was also a little skeptical about the talent of Shen Li, his former husband. Zhu Yijun knew that Shen Li's character was good, but in terms of his recent performance as a big Situ, Zhu Yijun thought that Shen Li was not suitable. He can manage money in terms of conduct, but managing money is not the same as managing money, and his performance as a household secretary is unqualified.

Shen Shixing's soft nail was very clever, and Zhu Yijun had already had the idea of adjusting the household book.

However, Zhu Yijun is not only concerned about this stubble now, he is also very worried about the situation in Liaodong.

Gao pragmatic vision has been proven again and again, so the "Songnen Plain" in his mouth must really be a treasure land. Such a treasure land, if it is mastered by the Chahar Ministry that has begun to farm, it will definitely not be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yijun had heard that a big reason why the Mongols were not prosperous was that food was limited. Although the nomadic life does not require much capital, disasters such as white and black disasters have too much impact on them, and a bad luck will freeze to death and die of a large number of cattle and sheep.

Of course, frozen cattle and sheep can be eaten, but you must know that eating meat itself is only a few people's enjoyment, the vast majority of herdsmen usually eat a variety of dairy products to live, frozen cattle and sheep can not provide this, so the total amount of food is greatly limited. If you can't be satisfied with food, of course the population can't go up, and no matter how powerful the Mongols are, they can't live by drinking wind and pulling cigarettes.

As a result, when Tumut began farming, there were fears that the future Tumut would become uncontrollable, but Gao Pragmatism dispelled their concerns at that time. Gao pragmatically said that the territory suitable for farming in Tumut was too close to the Ming Dynasty, and if they were really uncontrolled in the future, it would lead to a situation where "the monks who could run away from the temple could not run away" - the Ming could easily go out of the jam and sweep their fields.

The Tumuts either chose to keep the land or choose the guarantor. Defend the land, then they will not be able to give full play to the advantage of cavalry, and will be forced to fight a positional battle with the Ming Dynasty, which is absolutely the strength of attacking the other with their own shortcomings; Baoren, then the crops they planted will be given to the Ming Dynasty, and after they are accustomed to food supply, they will definitely suffer a serious blow because of this, and large-scale non-combat attrition is predictable.

However, there is a key element in Gao Pragmatic's statement, that is, the farmland of Tumut is too close to the Ming Dynasty, and the "Songnen Plain" mentioned by Gao Pragmatic is not only very large, but also has a certain distance from the Ming Dynasty, at least much farther than the farmland on the side of Tumut. What's more, the Haixi Jurchens are colder than Monan, and the greater the difficulties that the Ming army needs to overcome if they want to send troops.

"Emperor?"

Chen Ju's soft call woke Zhu Yijun up, he looked at Chen Ju and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Kaiyuan staff general Ma Chengxun and Shenyang guerrilla Qi Jin have both presented a new note, can the emperor want to see it?"

Not every emperor is a workaholic like Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yijun usually rarely looks at the generals and guerrillas, and the civil officials of the same level can only be seen, so he shook his head slightly and said, "You say, what did they say." ”

Chen Ju agreed, opened Ma Chengxun's recital, looked at it, and said: "Ma Chengxun said that the Tumen brought about forty or fifty thousand horsemen this time, but Ye He's detective horse seems to have rushed ahead to find out the news, Ye He's department has concentrated a large number of clansmen and materials in the east and west two cities, and is currently defending the city. ”

Zhu Yijun pursed his lips and said, "Ye He is still vigilant, and he has not been attacked by a sneak attack. But he said in his heart: Isn't this the last time I was scared by seeking truth, so I was so vigilant?

Then he asked, "Ma Chengxun just reported this situation?" ”

"Back to the emperor, no." Chen Ju took another look and continued: "Ma Chengxun said that Ye Hebu sent someone to Kaiyuan, and asked Daming to send troops to defeat the Mongols and save their lives as a border general of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Yijun snorted lightly: "Yo, after being beaten, you remember that you are a courtier of the Ming Dynasty?" But this is just to say, he paused and asked, "What does Ma Chengxun think of himself?" Can the governor, Fu and others express it? ”

Chen Ju said: "The governor's opinion has not yet been submitted to Beijing, and Ma Chengxun's opinion is that troops should be sent, but he said that the troops he has at hand are definitely not enough to defeat the Tumen, and if he wants to send troops, he must be ordered by the imperial court to mobilize the army." ”

Zhu Yijun thought for a while, but didn't answer, but asked, "What did Qi Jin's song say?" Is this also the case? ”

Although Chen Ju is the second-in-command of the celebrant eunuch, in fact, the celebrant can't take the initiative to express his views without the emperor's inquiry, so he can only open Qi Jin's recital and look at it, and replied: "Qi Jin is talking about Nurhachi, he said that Nurhachi went out to Hada this time, almost poured out, and now Jianzhou Wei and Jianzhou Zuowei are extremely empty, and he asked for permission to send troops to Jianzhou Wei to help Nikan Wailan recover the old land." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment: "He wants to help Nikan Wailan recover the old land?" ”

Chen Ju thought for a while and replied: "The slave maid looks at what he means, it seems that he is adhering to the previous proposition of Gao Shutai when he was in Liao, to balance the strength of Jianzhou, and not to let Nurhachi's family dominate. ”

"I know what he means comes from truth-seeking." Zhu Yijun frowned and said, "But I very much suspect that Nikan Wailan may not be Nurhachi's opponent even if he reoccupies Jianzhou Wei with the help of my Ming Dynasty now. When the battle between Nurhachi and Hada is over, when he turns south, he may defeat Nikan Wailan in one fell swoop. He was able to run away the previous time, and this time he may not have that kind of luck. It's not a pity for him to die, but when the time comes, I will be embarrassed. ”

That's quite embarrassing, the person who supports it can't hold on to the wall, but if he is slashed by Nurhachi, should Daming send troops, or should he endure this breath? Gao pragmatic was the original principle, but the Ming should rely on political and economic means to balance the internal strength of the Jurchens, and try to avoid taking the initiative to help the war.

Chen Ju shook his head and said, "This ...... Qi Jin didn't say that, judging from his recital, he should mainly feel that he shouldn't miss this opportunity. ”

Zhu Yijun shook his head: "This move is meaningless, firstly, even if he helps Nikan Wailan to fight back Jianzhouwei, he may not be able to defend it, and secondly, Jianzhouwei has just been ravaged by Nurhachi, what do you want, and it can't cause much damage to Nurhachi." If you really want to fight, it is better to directly hit Jianzhou Zuowei. There is no need to mention this matter, no. ”

Chen Ju nodded, put Qi Jin's recital into his right sleeve, and asked, "What about Ma Chengxun's recital......

Zhu Yijun frowned and hesitated, and only asked after a while: "You send someone to ask for the truth in private, how long will it take for the northwest to finish." In addition, ask him again, does Huoluochi need him to go in person, and if he can, when can he return to Beijing? ”
