After Jin Xianmin stood up again, Jiajing's gaze turned back to Xu Jin, and said with interest: "Xu Qing just said that to eliminate the hidden danger of Tatars, it is not necessary to completely eliminate them, so what can Xu Qing do to eliminate the hidden danger of Tatars?" ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but mourn for Jin Shoufu for two seconds, the prestige was insufficient, it was difficult to lead the ministers, but he still had to work against the emperor, after this court meeting, it is estimated that the position of the first assistant could not sit down, and he coughed lightly and said: "Back to the emperor, the physical elimination is only the next strategy, and the real clever elimination is the spiritual elimination." ”

Jiajing's heart moved: "What does Xu Qing mean to educate? Just like the Nanyang Prefecture and the Oriental Prefecture, colonizing the Tatars? ”

Xu Jin nodded and said, "The emperor is wise." ”

Liao Ji snorted coldly: "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, and it is whimsical and ridiculous to think that the Southern Barbarian Yi clan of my Ming Dynasty is still not convinced by Wang Hua and tries to educate the more ferocious Tatars." ”

Xu Jin said lightly: "Whimsical is actually not ridiculous, the ridiculous thing is that I don't even dare to think about it, people who eat the ancients and rest on their laurels will only be abandoned by the torrent of history in the end, the Tatars are not impossible to be naturalized, I think that the three thousand battalions under the command of Emperor Taizong were naturalized Mongolians, they are also loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and they are brave in battle, strong in battle, and have made countless contributions." ”

Liao Ge was secretly ridiculed for eating the ancients, and he couldn't help but be so angry that his beard trembled again, but this son was too good to distinguish.

Jin Xianmin retorted coldly: "That's just 3,000 people, but it's easy to control, it's just tempting them to benefit, and deterring them to deter, but although the population of Tatar is far inferior to my Ming Dynasty, there are millions of people, and the territory is vast, how can you control it?" Since you can't control it, how can you talk about education? ”

Xu Jin said calmly: "Then find a way to control it!" ”

Jin Xianmin said abruptly: "Dare to ask if the Yasukuni public plan will be released?" ”

Xu Jin didn't seem to hear the mockery in Jin Xianmin's tone, and said calmly: "Actually, it's not difficult to say, just recruit 200,000 troops in Tatar and transfer them to Tuntian in the south!" ”

Jin Xianmin was stunned for a moment, and his brows suddenly wrinkled, although Xu Jin's so-called method sounded stupid, but because this method was unbelievably stupid, Jin Xianmin was cautious and didn't dare to answer casually, lest he fall into Xu Jin's trap, this kid can speak well, so he has to guard against it!

It's just that Dai Wei obviously didn't think so in the engineering department, he was a firm lord and faction, and he was one of the thirteen officials who followed Jin Xianmin to kneel down and ask the emperor to think twice about it, at this time, he only thought that he had caught Xu Jin's flaw, so he laughed loudly: "Hey, this official still thinks that the Yasukuni Gong came up with a clever method, it turns out that it is just to lure the wolf into the room, and sure enough, it is seven tricks and six tricks - no clue, haha!" ”

There was a burst of low laughter in the hall for a moment, it was really Xu Jin's method was too ridiculous, and he recruited 200,000 troops in Tatar and transferred them to the south, didn't he add chaos to himself, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was luring wolves into the house, if it weren't for the fact that the Duke of Yasukuni had made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty over the years, everyone still thought that he harbored evil intentions.

Jiajing Jian's eyebrows furrowed, he didn't believe that such a bad idea would be thought up by Xu Jin, unless...... I don't think I've figured out the brilliance. Jiajing glanced at Xu Jin, who was complacent, and couldn't help but show a deep thought, and many ministers in the palace fell into deep thought, obviously thinking like Jiajing.

At this time, Fang Xianfu, the secretary of the ministry, suddenly coughed lightly and stood up and said, "Lord Xu's method does sound ridiculous at first, but if you think about it carefully, it is actually extremely clever. ”

The ministers couldn't help but be slightly taken aback, but Jin Xianmin and Liao Ji's faces sank, and there was still a hint of anger.

It turned out that Jin Xianmin and Liao Ji were angry with Fang Xianfu a few days ago, although the latter did not clearly express his support for them, but also hinted that he would not support the Northern Expedition, but at this time, he jumped out and praised Xu Jin, it was clear that his ass was sitting crookedly, how could it be reasonable, this old fox who saw the wind and steered the rudder was all the way to Cai Peng.

The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the assessment and promotion of hundreds of officials, known as the Heavenly Officials, which is actually the heaviest department among the six departments, and there is also a trump card in the hands of the Ministry of Officials, that is, the six-year Jingcha. The so-called Jingcha is the assessment and rating of all officials by the Ministry of Officials, and the unqualified officials of Jingcha will be demoted or dismissed, so every year of Jingcha, 100 officials are equivalent to a catastrophe, and the officials in charge of Jingcha are still in power, saying that you can do it, if you can't do it, you can't do it.

Because of this, even the emperor dared to spray the officials of the Ministry of Science and Technology, but they didn't dare to spray the Ministry of Shangshu, without him, worried that they would be wearing small shoes when they were in Jingcha. Now Shang Shufang Xianfu has come out to support Xu Jin, which is not small, and it can be said that the wind direction has completely changed.

Jiajing couldn't help but be overjoyed, and asked happily: "Fang Qing's family, where is Xu Qing's clever method?" ”

Fang Xianfu cleared his throat and said: "Conscripting 200,000 troops in Tatar and transferring them to Tuntian in the south, this method sounds ridiculous at first glance, and there is a suspicion of luring wolves into the house, but if you think about it carefully, 200,000 people seem to be a lot, but if you disperse to various states and counties, it is just a stream flowing into the sea, as long as you strengthen supervision and management, you will definitely not make trouble. ”

Jiajing's eyes lit up and said, "Fang Qingjia continues to speak." ”

Fang Xianfu stroked his beard and said proudly: "The above are all secondary, and the most clever thing about this plan is to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle." The Tatars originally had a population of only about 1 million, and 200,000 soldiers were conscripted, and basically all the young and strong people who were the most capable of making trouble were removed, and the remaining women and children, the old and weak, were easy to manage, and it was much easier to control and educate. ”

As soon as these words came out, it was like an enlightenment, and most of the officials couldn't help but suddenly realize, and at the same time gasped coldly, this is really a "poisonous plan" to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle, if this law can really be implemented, then the northern problem that has plagued the Ming Dynasty for more than 150 years is really likely to be completely solved.

Jiajing's face was bloodshot with excitement, and he looked at Xu Jin and asked, "Xu Qing, is it as Fang Qing's family said?" ”

Xu Jin glanced at Fang Xianfu with some surprise, this plan to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle was not something he came up with, but summed up from the Qing Dynasty in later generations. As we all know, the Ming Dynasty has never tried to completely conquer the Mongols in the north for more than 270 years, but the Qing Dynasty did it easily, on the one hand, because the Jurchens are also a people on horseback and have the same origin as the Mongols, but the most important point is conscription.

That's right, it's conscription!

After the Qing soldiers entered the Central Plains, in order to fight against the remnants of the Ming Dynasty and control the vast territory, they recruited a large number of troops from Mongolia, you must know that the Tatars at that time were also millions of people, and almost all the young and middle-aged people were requisitioned by the Manchu government, and the remaining old and weak women and children could not make trouble if they wanted to, since the Qing Dynasty could do this, the Ming Dynasty could naturally do it, of course, one of the prerequisites was to temporarily suppress the Tatars by force, otherwise there would be no way to talk about conscription.

Xu Jin nodded and said indifferently: "Back to the emperor, it is basically as Fang Shangshu said, but in terms of specific operation, it is necessary to cooperate with other measures, such as encouraging Han people to settle down and farm, intermarrying with Tatars, etc., cultivating the Tatars' sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty from an early age, and over time, this nation will be completely integrated into my Ming Dynasty." ”

Qin Jin, the head of the household, frowned and said: "These are simple to say, but it is not easy to do, for example, the outside of the fortress is bitter and poor, I am afraid that not many people are willing to settle out of the fortress, I am very good at working and mobilizing the people, spending countless money and grain, even if I finally conquer Tatar and get a vast barren land, it is not cost-effective." ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but be speechless, Qin Caishen really didn't leave the bank for three sentences, in addition to money and silver in his eyes, it was still money and silver, but with such a dutiful finance minister, it was difficult for the treasury to think without silver.

Xu Jin organized the language in his heart before he said: "Lord Qin's words are wrong, first of all, as the national government said before, stability is the cornerstone of development, without a stable environment, everything else is in vain, Tatar is the biggest threat to the north of my Ming Dynasty, more serious than the harm of the Japanese, as long as this hidden danger can be solved, it is worth spending more money and food; Secondly, the outside of the Saiwai is not all bitter cold and barren land, such as the Hetao Plain, Fengzhou River, Hulunbuir, etc., these are fertile fields with abundant water and grass, suitable for farming and grazing, I believe that the people of my Ming Dynasty will be happy to settle there. In addition, the mineral resources outside the Cyprus ...... Ahem, it is coal, copper, iron, silver, uranium, germanium, rare earths...... Anyway, it is very rich, and Daming not only does not lose, but also earns. ”

The officials in the hall couldn't help but look at each other, but Qin Jin's eyes lit up, although he didn't know what uranium, germanium, and rare earth were, but he knew coal, copper, iron, and silver, especially silver and copper, weren't they silver money!

Qin Caishen is a real person, and it is easy to do anything with silver, so I saw him say with dignity and awe: "If it is really as Yasukuni Gong said, this official agrees to send troops to the Northern Expedition, but how much silver is spent on the war, at least it must be balanced, otherwise this official will definitely participate in Yasukuni Gong in the future." ”

Xu Jin couldn't help crying and laughing, this is really a master who recognizes money and doesn't recognize people, fortunately, he Xu Jin is a traverser, and he still knows a little about how many minerals have been found in Mongolia in the future, at least the reserves of coal are very huge, and the country's largest rare earth mine is in Inner Mongolia, of course, rare earths should be useless in Daming for the time being.

"Lord Qin, it's not my country's boasting of Haikou, if I can occupy Tatar, I will be able to repay the principal within three years, and I can make several times the profit within ten years, of course, I still need some investment in the early stage!" Xu Jin is kind and seductive.

Qin Jin's eyes became even hotter when he heard this, and he nodded and said, "That's very good!" ”

Jin Xianmin couldn't listen to it anymore, and scolded: "Hugh has to bewitch the public no matter how much he beliefs, what Yasukuni Gong said is based on the premise of conquering Tatar by force, if you can't do it, no matter how much you say, it's in vain!" ”

Xu Jinjian's eyebrows raised slightly, and he said lightly: "Then what does the Golden Pavilion mean not to do anything, just waiting for nothing?" ”

Jin Xianmin snorted coldly: "Sun Tzu said: Go to the army to fight and plan, and then attack the enemy, and then attack the city." To solve the Tatar problem, it is not necessary to send troops. Do not send troops, fortify the city and defend it, and live with the people, this is the meaning of this official. ”

Xu Jin said lightly: "What this official means is to send troops to the Northern Expedition, once and for all. Since we disagree, why don't we hear what our colleagues here have to say? ”

Jin Xianmin glared angrily, and reprimanded loudly: "Xu Ziqian, for your own selfishness, you bewitch the public, and confuse the monarch with reckless force, and the history will not allow you." After speaking, he knelt down and cried bitterly to Jiajing on the throne: "Your Majesty, Xu Jin is so happy with his achievements, and he tried his best to encourage the emperor to send troops to the Northern Expedition. As the so-called good medicine is good for the disease, and the good word is good for the ear. The old minister Tian is the head of the cabinet, if he can't guide the king to be good (good), it is a dereliction of duty on the part of the minister. If the emperor insists on sending troops to the Northern Expedition, the old minister can only beg the bones to return to his hometown to recuperate. ”

Obviously, Jin Xianmin found that the wind direction had changed at this moment, and the main battle faction accounted for the majority, even if he asked everyone to express his position, he would eventually be defeated, so he simply sprinkled it, anyway, this time to prevent the failure of sending troops, he, the first assistant of the cabinet, could not be the first assistant, it was better to let it go.

Jin Xianmin is nearly seventy years old this year, as the head of the cabinet, kneeling there at the moment and crying bitterly, the power is really not small, at least it is very sympathetic, so he has successively knelt down a group of officials to support him, this time the number is significantly more, reaching twenty.

Looking at the old man crying in front of the throne, Jiajing was also a little panicked, but he quickly calmed down, after all, he had been in the royal pole for six years, and he had never seen any wind and waves, but he saw this kid stand up, and actually went around to the throne to personally help Jin Xianmin up, and comforted: "Jin Qing's family, please get up quickly." ”

Jin Xianmin was flattered and stood up tremblingly, but he was still crying, as if he would fall down at any time.

Jiajing said with a sincere face: "The Jin Qing family is sincere, I know, hey, the Jin Qing family is emotional, trembling all over, come on, send the Jin Qing family to the side hall to rest, and call the imperial doctor for treatment!" ”

Jin Xianmin instantly felt like he had been hit on the head, his expression froze, and he didn't tremble, but the two little eunuchs didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and helped him to walk outside the hall.

Jin Xianmin rolled his eyes, almost fainted, and was carried by two little eunuchs and left the Wenhua Hall tremblingly, unable to say a word from beginning to end. If Jin Xianmin trembled just now and had the element of acting, then now he is really trembling and angry! When you meet an emperor who doesn't follow common sense, the old Jin Pavilion is also a cup!

Jiajing, who finished "cordial care" for Jin Shoufu, sat back on the throne and said casually: "Everyone, the Qing family is calm, the Jin Qing family is just emotional, and it is expected that there will be no big problem, and the court discussion will continue." ”

The Wenhua Hall was silent, and the twenty ministers kneeling on the ground had wonderful expressions, and they stood up one after another as if they were constipated.

Jiajing's eyes swept a glance at the ministers present, and all the ministers bowed their heads in awe.

Jiajing said in a deep voice: "As the so-called simultaneous listening is clear, partial listening is dark." Since I ascended the throne, I have been open to the opinions of my ministers, and this Northern Expedition is no exception, you don't have to worry about it, although you don't have to worry about it, if the majority of the people support sending troops, then send troops, in one fell swoop to eliminate the hidden danger of Tatars, if the majority of people are peaceful, then negotiate with Meda. ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers support the dispatch of troops, and with the policy of the Yasukuni Gong, they will definitely be able to pacify Tatar in one fell swoop!" The official department Shangshu Fang Xianfu took the lead in coming out.

Jiajing nodded approvingly, Fang Xianfu happily retreated, and then Xia Yan, Qin Jin, Wu Wending, Xu Jie, Cai Peng, etc. also expressed their support for sending troops, and the generals naturally raised their hands in praise, and soon, more than two-thirds of the officials present expressed their support, and the overall situation was decided!

The lords and factions could only shake their heads and sigh, before the Ming court meeting, the lords and factions still accounted for the majority, but the situation turned out to be sharply reversed, the emperor's attitude was of course the main reason, but the sharp teeth of Xu Jin, the Duke of Yasukuni, also played a great role, this son really did everything, but what to do!

Jiajing excitedly announced: "Since most of the Qing family supports sending troops to fight against Meda, then I will be as good as a stream, and I will choose the day to send troops to the Northern Expedition to Dada, and I will be ashamed before the snow, and raise the prestige of my Ming Dynasty." ”

"The emperor is wise, long live, long live, long live!" The ministers fell to their knees and shouted in unison.
