But the emperor still has a view of the overall situation, and the emperor also thinks that this war can no longer be fought, firstly, the treasury is not very abundant, and it takes a lot of military expenditure to support a war, and the current treasury cannot support such a huge military expenditure at all.

Second, the elimination of the Warat and Tatars is of no great strategic and economic significance.

The essence of war is, to put it bluntly, plunder. Plunder land, population, wealth.

Since ancient times, the main reason why the nomadic people in the north often invaded the Central Plains was because the Central Plains were richer than the grasslands.

The main reason why the Chinese dynasties and generations have never been able to completely eliminate them is that in addition to their characteristics of living in pursuit of water and grass, they do not have the significance of strategy.

Because the steppe has nothing but grass. And even if these nomads are wiped out, what can they have?

They only have grassy land, some cattle and sheep and a small population.

Even if he has accumulated some wealth because of perennial plunder, then those riches are a drop in the bucket compared to the huge military and material expenses he needs to attack him.

And it's not a good thing that the territory is too large. The grasslands and plains in the north are vast and undefendable, and have no value for construction.

And it is easy to deal with attacks from all directions. It's more than worth the cost.

Zhu Di understood this, so he tried his best to dismiss all the generals' performances, and then canonized the two tribes of Warat and Tatar.

As an emperor, he has too much to think about.

The Hu people in the north can't be destroyed, but they can't be raised, so this time Zhu Di brushed a careful eye on the canonization, the canonization level of the two tribes of Warat and Tatar is uneven, in order to create contradictions to divide them.

And these Hu people still have to stay, if these Hu people are destroyed, then the Ming Dynasty is the real danger.

The reason for the enemy to remain is to be vigilant at all times, and even when the domestic contradictions reach the point where they cannot be quelled, war can be used to transform the domestic contradictions.

And if there were no Warat and Tatar, then Zhu Yunchang would have no external threat. There are Taihang Mountain and Xiongguan Mountain Customs as a barrier in the capital area. And Zhu Yunchang is there except for the Great Wall outside, the rest are the plains and Gobi, and there is no danger to defend at all. Moreover, the strategic location of the northwest is forward, and it is more vulnerable to attacks from different directions, if the emperor eliminates all these that can be attacked, then Zhu Yunchang can free his hands and threaten the imperial court.

This is not conducive to the stability of the world.

In the face of the emperor's strength, the generals lost their temper, but the emperor naturally couldn't take the blame, and the emperor threw all the responsibility for this matter to the civil servants and officials.

Sometimes the emperor should be appropriately mediocre, and should be bewitched by the "slanderous ministers" to be a "faint king".

This is just like the original Song Gaozong Zhao Gou.

It is said that Zhao Gou listened to slander and killed loyal ministers who destroyed the Great Wall.

But in fact, it is not, Zhu Di, as an emperor, can understand Zhao Gou's approach, although Zhao Gou's approach is irresponsible to the people, but as an emperor, he can be said to have used the emperor's technique to the extreme.

If it were him, Zhu Di would do the same.

Zhao Gou didn't want Yue Fei to recover the old mountains and rivers, but he didn't want the main battle faction in the court to become bigger. He didn't object to Yue Fei's Northern Expedition to attack Jin, but Yue Fei's ability was too strong, and the Jin people were like paper in front of him.

As the emperor, Zhao Gou considered a problem that threatened his position, that is, the ownership of the throne.

If Yue Fei really fought back, Jin Ren would sue for peace. So what are the conditions for summing?

Of course, it was returned to the two emperors of Qin and Hui.

As the current emperor, Zhao Gou naturally did not want to see his father and eldest brother come back. Because this will threaten his throne, if the second emperor of Qin and Hui is still in power, then who will sit on this throne?

There can only be one emperor in the world, and when they come back, there are three. As a person in power, this is absolutely not tolerated.

And Yue Fei is an extremely loyal person, if he really rescues Song Huizong, then he will definitely support him as emperor again.

Therefore, Zhao Gou could only kill Ma Jian with tears, kill Yue Fei, a loyal minister, and finally let his successor be Yue Fei Zhaoxue, and then kill the Qin Party.

In this way, it can not only redress unjust cases for loyal ministers, but also get rid of dissidents, and establish prestige and appease the people.

This reminded Zhu Di of his father Zhu Yuanzhang, his father did the same thing for his eldest brother Zhu Biao back then, Li Shanchang, Lan Yu, Hu Weiyong, and Liu Bowen got rid of these people, all in order to lay the foundation for Zhu Biao's ascension to the throne in the future.

It's just that Zhu Biao died in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yunwen was too benevolent and weak. That's what gave him an opportunity.

Lou Yun said: "The eldest brother said enough, the Tatars are not to be afraid, and the Warats are a big problem. Moreover, the position of the Jingshi is too protruding, and it is easy to face the iron hooves of Wara. ”

The prince nodded silently, and the prince said: "Yes, the generals in the court also have such an opinion, especially the important members of the military department dominated by the king of Han are even more strongly advocating the elimination of Warat, and the Tatars will be in danger of their henchmen." ”

Lou Yun shook his head, he said: "I don't think so, Warat, although the Tatars are strong, but after all, they are just barbarians, although they are very strong, but they are nomadic for generations. I'm worried about Liaodong. ”

The prince was surprised by this point of view, and the prince asked, "Why Liaodong?"

Lou Yun said seriously: "I think my real confidant of the Ming Dynasty is not Warat, nor Tatar, nor Northern Yuan. It's Jurchen!"

The prince said: "Is it just because the Jurchens once eliminated the Northern Song Dynasty and entered the Central Plains?"

Lou Yun shook his head and said: "The Jurchens are much more threatening than the Mongols, the Mongols are just a group of reckless men, barbarians, they are good at hunting on horseback, I once read in the history books of the Ghost Valley, the original Meng Yuan once divided the Han people into the lowest four classes, and even the women of the Han people had to be given to the Mongolian chief on the first night of their marriage, and the land of the Han people was deprived and abandoned into grassland for them to raise cattle and horses. In some places, Han Chinese were forced to demolish their houses to live in their yurts. This is very stupid behavior. Such a dynasty is not destined to last. ”

After hearing this, the prince nodded again and again, Lou Yun was right, that is, because of the excessive oppression of the Han people, the Yuan Dynasty was always in the resistance of the local Han government from its establishment to its fall.

The prince asked, "What is the difference between the Jurchens and the Mongols? ”

Lou Yun shook his head again and again after hearing this, and he said: "No, the Jurchens are different, I have read that the living habits of the Jurchens are almost no different from those of the Han people, and they have the strong physique and courage of these nomads, and they also have the wisdom and wisdom of the Han people, except for the difference in writing, language, and dress, the others are almost the same as us. ”

"The most important thing is that they are willing to humbly learn the advanced culture of other races, and they have the cultural foundation of the Han Dynasty, once their ancestors conquered half of China and entered the Central Plains. Such an ethnic group is the real henchman of our Ming Dynasty. ”
