Chapter 777: The West Wind (Medium)

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

"Negotiation is open, this is all a matter for the Ministry of Rites." After listening to Zhang Juzheng's words, Xu Jie looked at Shen Mo and said, "What kind of attitude do you have as a scholar of the Ministry of Rites?" ”

"The teacher also talked about his past experience, so with all due respect, the student is not prepared enough to be literate, and if you can't fight on the battlefield, you can't win at the negotiation table." Shen Mo swept away his usual Piri Yangqiu's style, and clearly expressed his opinion: "Now the Tartars are coming, destroying my city, slaughtering my people, and humiliating our country. If we are weak at this time and blindly seek peace, we will only make them think that they have a plan, and even if we retreat this time, if we are a little unsatisfactory in the future, we will come back again and again, again and again, and will never be polite to us. There are no well-fed jackals in this world, only loaded shotguns, and I would rather not do this book of rites than to negotiate without a fight."

"Well said" Zhang Juzheng shouted on the side: "I also see it this way, I must fight a battle, even if I can't win it, I must let the Tartars know that I am a man of the Han family, and I am determined to repay if I am humiliated."

Seeing that the two students were enthusiastic together, Xu Jie could only smile bitterly and said: "You two are very light, if you lose, I, the first assistant, will have no face at most, but you pioneers, you have to ......lose your career."

"Teacher, sometimes you can't spare yourself too much" Zhang Juzheng blocked it with a sentence, which made people vaguely see the enthusiastic little Zhang more than ten years ago: "No matter what the consequences are, I am willing to go to the book to ask for war"

"Me too." Shen Mo stood up and walked to Zhang Juzheng's side, but his attitude was more softened and said: "Teacher, it's just a big battle, and if you win, you will have a lot of benefits, even if you lose, it won't hurt, it won't be so serious." ”

Xu Jie fell into a deep groan, in his impression, every time Shen Mo was so resolute, he was sure of victory...... If this time is no exception, of course it would be good. After all, Xu Jie also wanted to use a victory to distinguish himself from Yan Song and take off the hat of 'Licorice Country Elder'.

Of course, he must consider what to do if he fails, or the same sentence, when the official is in this position, he does not seek merit but no fault. It's not so easy to make that decision.

In the end, Xu Jie didn't nod, but he didn't say anything to death, he just said that he wanted to 'think about it', and let the two go back first.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Coming out of the Forbidden City and walking on Chang'an Street, Zhang Juzheng asked Shen Mo: "Do you say that it is possible for the teacher to agree?" ”

"It's all 'considered.'" Shen Mo shook his head and said, "What hope is there?" ”

"Not necessarily." Zhang Juzheng said: "With my understanding of the teacher, he is really moved this time. After a pause, he said: "However, with the teacher's character, most of the time after hesitation, everything is business as usual." ”

Doesn't that mean you didn't say it? Shen Mo rolled his eyes and didn't say anything.

"I mean, at this point, it's time for us to help the teacher make up his mind." Zhang Juzheng said with a smile.

"You have a great idea?" Shen Mo glanced at him.

"Come here with your ears." Zhang Juzheng smiled mysteriously. Shen Mo had no choice but to lean his head over, and when he heard him say this, his face changed: "You ...... Not quite authentic, right? ”

"Don't worry, if the teacher is to blame, I will take all the responsibility." Zhang Juzheng patted his chest and said, "But you have to tell me the truth, how sure are you that you will win this battle?" As he spoke, his eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "You Shen Jiangnan are not seventy percent sure, and you will never say those words." ”

"Hehe......" Shen Mo will fight again now, and it will be a little **, so he shook his head and said: "Who can say clearly about such a thing as a war." ”

"That's the five-five opening?" Zhang Juzheng slapped his palms and smiled: "The five-five in your Shen Jiangnan's eyes is much more reliable than others." He didn't ask him what he was going to do, so he arched his hand and said: "It's so decided, don't forget to read the book tomorrow, the wording should be exciting, and it can't be done without making people's hearts surge." After speaking, he got into the sedan chair first and walked away.

Watching his sedan chair walk away, Shen Moxin said that compared to courage, this Taiyue is really much stronger than me. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook my head, flicked my sleeves, got into the sedan chair, and went home.

When he returned home, he silently changed into civilian clothes, and went to the front yard, where he saw a tall figure, standing at the door of the hanging flowers, looking in from time to time.

"Yincheng, is there something wrong?" Shen Mo walked over and asked with a smile.

It turned out to be his son's teacher, Li Chengliang, who bowed down and saluted when he heard this: "Ministry, I've been waiting for a long time." ”

"What's the matter?" Silence stood still.

"I heard that there are Tartar soldiers coming to ......the city," Li Chengliang said: "I went to the military department today to inquire, and said that the army lacks officers, no matter whether they pass the examination or not, as long as they are willing to enlist now, they will be allowed to inherit the military post immediately." ”

"Hmm." Shen Mo nodded and said, "But this is an exchange for life, and I want to go to the battlefield." ”

"Yes, the sword has no eyes, maybe he hasn't even received it once, and he will pass on the position to his son." Shen Mingchen came over from the front, he came to take a look, did Shen Mo come back, and when he heard the conversation between the two, he couldn't help but interject.

"Mr. Juzhang's words are bad," Li Chengliang said calmly: "Isn't the duty of being a soldier to protect the family and defend the country?" What kind of soldier should you be if you are afraid of war? ”

made Shen Mingchen so faceless, and said: "Count me too much, count me too much." As he spoke, he looked at Shen Mo and said, "My lord, they asked me to come and see, have you come back?" ”

"I'll go over here." Shen Mo nodded, turned his face to Li Chengliang and said, "Since Yincheng intends to serve the country, let's come together." ”

"Yes" Li Chengliang's tiger body was shocked, and his domineering spirit was exposed, and the original sour talent disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The three of them came to the study, where Wang Yin and Yu Yin were already waiting. As soon as he entered, Li Chengliang was attracted by several maps hanging on the wall, and seeing that he could see it, Shen Mingchen quipped: "Can you understand?" ”

"Of course." Li Chengliang pointed one by one: "This is the map of Gyeonggi, this is Shanxi, this is Zhili, and this is the whole map." ”

"There are two hits...... Shen Mingchen said with a grin.

"Don't be poor." Wang Yin said lightly: "There are flying generals in Yincheng, but you usually have no eyes." ”

"Thank you Shiyue Gong for your compliment, I'm panicking." Hearing Wang Yin compare himself to Li Guang, Li Chengliang suddenly felt greatly promoted, at least so far, he had not imagined that his achievements could be compared to the famous flying general.

Shen Mo sat down on the main seat, holding the hot tea that Yu Yin had just served, and said with a smile: "Feng Tang is easy to be old, Li Guang is difficult to seal, I see that you Li Chengliang are much luckier than them." ”

Li Chengliang's heart trembled when he heard this, and he nodded heavily towards Shen Mo and said, "I won't let my adults down." ”

"Okay, okay." Shen Mo nodded with a smile and said, "You sit here first and listen to the speeches of the Ten Princes." ”

Li Chengliang sat with his back to the door like a student.

"Let's get started." Shen Mo leaned back in the chair and said to a few friends, "Tell me the conclusion first." Last night, he told the three of them that he wanted to pick up this hot potato. Let them do their research and see if they are sure. Now they have brought themselves in, apparently with a conclusion.

Yu Yin stood up, first saluted silently respectfully, and then said in a deep voice: "Respect the life of Lord Zun, the three of us deduced the entire situation, and agreed that we can fight. ”

"Oh?" Shen Mo couldn't help but sit up straight, his expression listening intently.

Yu Yin then said eloquently: "The Art of War says that we should analyze and study from five aspects and compare the various conditions of the enemy and us to predict the outcome of the war. One is the Tao, the second is the heavens, the third is the earth, the fourth is the general, and the fifth is the law. The so-called 'Tao' is the morality of war, and only by standing on the side of morality can the army be born and die without being safe. In this Tartar invasion, we defend our home and country, so morality is on our side; And the so-called 'day' is the time of the day, and it must be adapted to the time to follow the time. Recently, the autumn rain has been continuous, the war horses are prone to illness, the bowstring will lose its elasticity, and the road will be even more muddy, and the riding and archery that the Mongols are proud of will inevitably be greatly reduced, so the time is also ...... with us."

"The so-called 'land' refers to the distance of the distance, and whether the terrain is conducive to attacking and defending. The Tartar division went on an expedition and penetrated hundreds of miles into our country's borders, which had already violated the taboo of the art of war, and our army was fighting at home, and if it knew the terrain well, it could calmly spread out, choose favorable terrain, and fight a decisive battle with the enemy. Yu Yin walked to the edge of the map, pointed to the crosses and forks with red pens and said: "These are all decisive battle locations that we think are beneficial to our side, there are as many as eighteen places, I believe that as long as the front-line commander is fickle, he will definitely be able to start a battle in a suitable place." ”

"The above three articles, together are the right time, place and people," Shen Mingchen continued: "Our side resists aggression and takes advantage of the right time, place and people, if this cannot be won, then what battle can be won?" ”

Shen Mo nodded, and said in his heart, tomorrow's recital is here. Yu Guang saw that Li Chengliang's face was a little disapproving, so he said quietly: "Yincheng, what do you think?" ”

"Mr. Junfang and Mr. Juzhang are very good." Li Chengliang has the straightforwardness of a Northeast man, and said bluntly: "But fighting a war, in the final analysis, depends on the soldiers and generals." With all due respect, the generals of the Ming Dynasty ate empty salaries, ran away from the door, and bullied the common people, all of them were good hands, but if they really wanted to fight, they would all be blind. With a strange smile on his face, he said, "There is a joke that has been circulating for a long time, I don't know if the ministry has heard it."

Shen Mo coughed lightly and motioned for him to continue. Li Chengliang said: "It is said that the Yellow River is broken, and Long live the Lord ordered the first assistant Xu Jie, to lead six Shangshu to plug the leak." Xu Ge first ordered the Ministry of Industry Shangshu to jump down and plug the mouth, but the Ministry of Industry Shangshu didn't say a word, jumped into the break, and was rushed away without a trace, and the other five Shangshu also went down one after another, all like this; The emperor ordered Xu to go down, and Xu Ge Lao had to tie himself with a rope, tentatively jump down slowly, and after inspecting the water situation, he slowly climbed up again, saying that with the observation of the old ministers, the only way to send a few generals down was to do so; The emperor found a few general soldiers and ordered them to jump, but who knew that the break was really blocked......"

"Why?" Shen Mingchen had better make this kind of fun.

"The emperor also asked Xu Ge Lao." Li Chengliang said: "Just listen to Xu Ge's slow and leisurely words, because the old minister heard that the generals of the Ming Dynasty are all big straw bales."

"Hahaha......" Shen Mingchen took the lead in laughing, leaning forward and back, and the rest of the people also laughed, even Shen Mo couldn't help laughing, shook his head again and again, and said: "Who is so narrow-minded, who actually arranged the civil and military affairs of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"It's a joke though." Li Chengliang couldn't laugh and said: "But it also shows the current situation of the Ming leading officers, one by one, they may pull out the hard bow, do you know what kind of character Sun Wubai Qi is?" What is it if it's not a straw bale? Humanity is a soldier, a nest of bears, now in my Ming army, there are all such generals, even if the time, place and people are all occupied, pull out is still people's food, there is no reason to win. ”

"Hey......" Shen Mingchen shook his head and said: "Don't lead the city to grow other people's ambition and destroy your own prestige, and the generals of the Ming Dynasty are not all like you said." ”

"Yes, that's exactly the fourth point I'm going to make, 'will.'" Yu Yin took over the conversation and said: "The so-called "general" refers to the general's resourcefulness and ability, the reward and punishment are trustworthy, the caress of the soldiers, the courage and decisiveness, and the military discipline is strict. Only the soldiers brought out by such generals are reliable troops, and only the battles commanded by such generals have the hope of victory. As he spoke, he glanced at Li Chengliang and said, "Such generals do not exist, but there are more than ever before." ”

"Oh?" Li Chengliang didn't believe it: "I want to hear about it." ”

"There are at least three of them in front of you." Yu Yin said: "Listen to me break it down for you." ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After Yu Yin's explanation, Li Chengliang's face looked much better, but he was still worried: "I don't have any doubts about the first person, but for the second and third people, although they are famous, they are all small rabble in the south. ”

......As soon as this remark came out, Shen Mingchen and the three of them were a little displeased, and Li Chengliang realized that all of them were southerners, and all of them had participated in the anti-Japanese war, so he hurriedly remedied: "I didn't mean that, I'm just worried that they will not adapt to the water and soil......"

"Hearing is false, seeing is believing," Shen Mo said lightly: "One of them is in Jingying, just follow me to have a look." ”

"Yes." Li Chengliang swallowed and foamed, not daring to say more.

"The fifth is 'law.'" Yu Yin continued: "The so-called 'law' refers to the organization and establishment of the army, the management and division of responsibilities of generals, and the supply and management of military materials. Saying that, he looked at Shen Mo and said, "This one, we have full confidence in adults." ”

Shen Mo couldn't help but shake his head and smiled: "Okay, this is also a reason?" I have to deduct your wages. ”

"Don't, my lord," Shen Mingchen shouted: "You are the commander of the six southeastern provinces, and now you are invited to sit in the Chinese army, isn't it a piece of cake?" The crowd laughed again.

After laughing, Wang Yin, who had not spoken, made a concluding statement: "Of course, we also have disadvantages, such as too few available generals, internal constraints, and so on, but we can conclude that it is impossible to completely annihilate the enemy army, and it is still conditional to fight with elite troops and win on the battlefield, so we unanimously support the proposition of the adults." As he spoke, he suddenly exposed his fist, waved it in the air, gritted his teeth and said: "Let's teach those Tartars a good lesson, so that they don't think I have no one in China."

"Yes, let it go," Yu Yin also nodded heavily.

Shen Mingchen slapped the table and said, "Yes, lead the city." ”

"Oh, yes, yes." Li Chengliang came back to his senses and said loudly: "** mother's"

Shen Mo couldn't cry or laugh at them, so he had to nod and say, "I'll do my best." Before the strategists had time to cheer, they heard him worrying: "But in this case, it is against Yang Bo......

"My lord, how can you be afraid of wolves before you do big things, and you are afraid of tigers later" Shen Mingchen bared his teeth and said: "He is a Shangshu and you are also a Shangshu, what if you do it, does he have three heads and six arms or what?" ”

"It's not rough to say." Wang Yin nodded and said: "My lord, at the moment of national disaster, forgive them and don't dare to draw salaries, as long as we win this battle, we really don't have to be afraid of him Yang Bo, everyone is equal, what is there to be afraid of?" ”

"Even if you can't win...... Yu Yin whispered: "It doesn't matter, let's try to ensure that we don't lose." What he said really hurt morale, but it also made a clear truth...... If you are silent, you can be strong, but you can't afford to win, you can't afford to lose, and you can't take risks.

The burden returned to Shen Mo, no matter how lively he spoke, he had to be willing.

Shen Mo is really not used to the word adventure, behind him is the southeast, is the Huilian, is countless protégés of the same year, there are too many people and things, need his power to shelter, once it falls, everything he has worked so hard to build will be in danger of collapsing.

There is a saying that 'the son of a thousand daughters, sitting in the hall can't sit down', don't talk about a thousand gold now, even tens of millions of gold are worth it, and you must stay away from risks.

"In terms of national righteousness, there is nothing to say" But this time, he was surprisingly resolute: "Those who offend my Chinese will be punished even if they are far away, let alone close at hand?" ”

Seeing that the Lord had finally made up his mind, the advisors couldn't help cheering, and then, with a hundred times more enthusiasm, began to give him advice, how to take each step next......

Partition -

Maybe this chapter is a little discordant, but the answer in the book, whether it's barbarism, is different from the current Mongolian brothers, and now we are all Chinese nations, and we are a family that loves each other. Spoiler alert, the book will be like this at the end.
