Perhaps because Zhao Junchen sheltered Fang Zhenshan, Fang Zhenshan also reciprocated at this time and expressed his sincerity.
The questions he raised were all extremely sensitive and critical, and he did not hide or evade them without any concealment, showing that he was sincerely considering Zhao Junchen.
After hearing Fang Zhenshan's inquiry, a sigh flashed in Zhao Junchen's eyes.
In fact, Zhao Junchen certainly sheltered Fang Zhenshan out of various considerations this time, but he only had a deep disgust for Fang Zhenshan's various practices in his heart, but I have to say that Fang Zhenshan's ability to command operations is indeed average, but his political sense and meticulous thinking are far superior to He Zhang.
A gentleman pays attention to loyalty and righteousness, and only has good and evil right and wrong in his heart, but the villain attaches importance to practical benefits and will only weigh risks and benefits in his heart; Perhaps it is precisely because of this that a despicable villain like Fang Zhenshan is often more profound, comprehensive, and sensitive than a righteous gentleman like He Zhang when considering problems.
After Zhao Junchen put forward the declaration of "recovering the Hetao", He Zhang's heart was only excited and excited, thinking that recovering the Hetao was a good thing, not only to make himself famous in history, but also to allow the imperial court to expand its territory, so he should try his best to do it, but Fang Zhenshan considered all the hidden worries and pros and cons of this matter at the first time.
A genius like Zhao Shancai who can have the different strengths of a gentleman and a villain is really too rare.
Therefore, although Zhao Junchen admires a righteous gentleman like He Zhang even more in his heart, he usually has more common language with a despicable villain like Fang Zhenshan.
Perhaps, this is like like gathering things.
Thinking of this, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but laugh at himself a little in his heart.
However, when he was laughing at himself in his heart, Zhao Junchen's expression was still calm, and he said slowly: "General Fang's concerns are very reasonable!" It is true that the imperial court will not support the move of this official to recover the Hetao, and the princes in the temple do not want the frontier to be troublesome, and our majesty back then is also a lord of stability, and their reasons are the same as the concerns of Fang Zongbing, thinking that the Ordos tribe has been operating the Hetao for many years, and is the leader of the Mongolian right-wing tribes, if the imperial court recovers the Hetao, not only will it lose countless money, food and troops, but also the hope of success is slim......"
Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen suddenly looked disdainful, and said: "But in Ben Qincha's view, the imperial court and the general army of Fang overestimated the strength of the Ordos tribe and the Mongolian right wing, and the world always thinks that the nomads on the grassland are a big problem for the imperial court's border defense, but after reading the history books, this official found a truth...... That is, since the Qin Dynasty, as long as the Central Plains Dynasty formed a unity, the nomads have always been insignificant, and they are also at a disadvantage when they fight, and many prominent tribes are directly destroyed and exterminated...... Only after the unification of the border herdsmen and the internal decline of the Han nationality can they pose a threat to the Central Plains Dynasty! And now, my Ming Dynasty has unified the Central Plains for hundreds of years, Mongolia is fragmented, self-attacking, the northwest border army has been a little erosive over the years, but the situation of the Mongolian tribes is not much better, why should we fear the enemy like a tiger? ”
glanced at Fang Zhenshan, who wanted to speak and stopped, and continued: "Of course, since the Song Dynasty, all dynasties have respected literature and suppressed martial arts, which made the Han army erosive and cowardly, and the military attaches could not display their skills, so that the nomads became a big problem for border defense!" But these situations can be changed, as long as we can completely annihilate the invading Mongol coalition army, and reward the meritorious soldiers, the morale of the soldiers can be guaranteed, with Ben Qincha sitting in the rear, the military attaches can also rest assured to display their skills, as long as the time is appropriate, it is not difficult to recover the Hetao! ”
Zhao Junchen's tirade made Fang Zhenshan a little dumbfounded.
These arguments are indeed reasonable, but they are inevitably suspected of being exaggerated and talked about on paper, and there is no consideration of any actual situation.
Just when Fang Zhenshan was hesitating in his heart whether to point out this, Zhao Junchen suddenly smiled again and said: "Don't worry, Ben Qincha is not just a person who only knows how to talk on paper, he just wants to tell Fang Zongbing not to think about this matter too difficult!" From the actual situation, the Mongolian tribes have been weakened in recent years due to natural disasters, and the internal friction is also extremely serious...... In addition, this official has already buried a chess piece, as long as we defeat the main Mongolian force in Jiezhou City next, we can accelerate the attack and internal friction within the Mongolian tribes, and when we enter the Hetao area, I am afraid that the Ordos tribe and the Mongolian right wing have already taken care of themselves, and there is no chance to resist at all! ”
Hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Fang Zhenshan couldn't help but be shocked.
If Zhao Junchen had a way to make the Mongol tribes kill each other, it would indeed be a great opportunity for the Ming army to recover the Hetao.
For a while, Fang Zhenshan couldn't help but be very curious about what the "chess piece" Zhao Junchen was talking about, but looking at Zhao Junchen's attitude at this time, it was obvious that he would not disclose it in advance, so Fang Zhenshan didn't ask in the interest.
After Fang Zhenshan hesitated for a moment, he just asked, "But the attitude of the imperial court ......"
Zhao Junchen said: "Ben Qincha has just said that the imperial court does not support the recovery of the Hetao is just worried about wasting money, food, and troops, but if we send troops to the Hetao before the imperial court reacts, and we reap considerable results before the imperial court stops it, will the imperial court still insist that we throw away the fat that we have eaten in our mouths?" Don't forget, although our current majesty is bent on seeking stability in ordinary times, he is also the master of great joy, and he will never let go of such an opportunity to leave a name in history! …… Well, the reason for sending troops to Hetao is also easy to find, let's just say that we are chasing the fleeing enemy, and the court can't find anything wrong. ”
Fang Zhenshan was silent for a moment, and then asked: "If your plan goes well, Lord Qincha will personally preside over the overall situation, this matter may be real, but please forgive me for being blunt, Your Majesty I am afraid he will never allow Lord Qincha to stay in Shaanxi and Gansu for too long, just like what the humble official just said, Your Majesty's edict to summon you back to Beijing is probably already on the way!" What's more, even if you recover the Hetao area against all odds, the subsequent border relocation, garrisoning, reclamation and so on will require a lot of energy and money......"
Hearing Fang Zhenshan's questioning, Zhao Junchen was still full of confidence, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have a score in my heart about this matter...... Even if the imperial court recalls Ben Qincha, isn't there still Liang Fuchen Liang Ge Lao? With his ability and means, he is enough to deal with all kinds of things in the future! ”
Fang Zhenshan was taken aback again, and subconsciously asked, "Wasn't Elder Liang Ge kidnapped by bandits on the road?" He's been rescued? ”
Liang Fuchen, as the plenipotentiary of the imperial court, was kidnapped by bandits on the way to Huamachi Camp, and originally only a few high-level officials in Huamachi Camp knew the news, but where in the world is there an impermeable wall? Fang Zhenshan, as the chief soldier of Guyuan, naturally had news channels in Huamachi Camp, and of course he quickly learned about it.
It's just that this matter is too sensitive, and everyone is taboo and never talks about it easily!
Zhao Junchen was not surprised that Fang Zhenshan knew about this, nodded and said: "Well, according to the news, now that the nest of the bandits who kidnapped Liang Ge Lao has been found, if nothing else, Liang Ge Lao will soon come here to preside over the situation in place of Ben Qincha...... It's just that I'm afraid that Elder Liang Ge is not in good health after this incident, in that case, Ben Qincha will probably have to reluctantly continue to stay for a while! ”
Hearing Zhao Junchen's words, Fang Zhenshan's eyes flickered slightly, but he stopped talking.
*
In fact, after imprisoning Liang Fuchen for so long, Zhao Junchen really planned to let Liang Fuchen go.
Liang Fuchen's identity is extremely important, and if he is detained for too long, it will inevitably cause a big mess.
In addition, now is also the best time for Zhao Junchen to release Liang Fuchen!
The Mongol coalition army that invaded the territory of the Ming Dynasty, under the leadership of Zhao Junchen himself, has lost more than half of the troops, and when Liang Fuchen regains his freedom and rushes here, I am afraid that the entire battle situation has been settled, not only the Mongol coalition army is very likely to be wiped out, if everything goes well, Zhao Junchen's plan to recover the Hetao will also be initially launched!
At that time, Zhao Junchen's reputation is already in full swing, even if Liang Fuchen has the status of a plenipotentiary envoy, it will be difficult to compete with Zhao Junchen, and the great achievement of destroying Mongolia will not be taken away by Liang Fuchen!
In addition, under Zhao Junchen's calculations, Liang Fuchen's physical condition is not good now, and even if he rushes here, it will be difficult to preside over the overall situation immediately, and Zhao Junchen will still be the actual controller of the Shaanxi and Gansu sides at that time.
The most important thing is that with Liang Fuchen's character, once he finds out that Zhao Junchen's plan to recover the Hetao is going well, he will also fully support Zhao Junchen, and he will never look ahead! In this way, Zhao Junchen also has Liang Fuchen to bear the pressure from the imperial court with himself!
And once the plan to recover the Hetao is successfully realized, the follow-up border move, garrison, reclamation and a series of other things will drag Liang Fuchen on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu, I am afraid that he will not be able to return to the capital for many years, for Emperor Deqing to recall Liang Fuchen's intention to meddle in the cabinet, Zhao Junchen has always been vigilant in his heart, and this will also destroy Emperor Deqing's plan to meddle in the cabinet in disguise, and also weaken the influence of the imperial party!
Of course, after recovering the Hetao, the imperial court must need to consume a large amount of money and grain to stabilize its control over the Hetao area, so that the importance of Zhao Junchen, the head of the household who controls the money and grain, can be reminded again!
All in all, the recovery of the Hetao is not Zhao Junchen's painting, since he found that he may be able to annihilate the Mongol coalition army, Zhao Junchen has been seriously thinking about it for a long time, the layout has already been quietly unfolded, and a series of plans have been formulated, whether it is public or private, it is a good thing, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is three birds with one stone!
However, Fang Zhenshan has just taken refuge in Zhao Junchen, and his loyalty has not yet been guaranteed, of course Zhao Junchen will not tell all his thoughts, but Fang Zhenshan's political sense is indeed very keen, and looking at his expression and reaction at this time, it seems that he has guessed something.
