Chapter 967: Single-mindedness


Sun Chengzong, Zhao Shujiao, and Man Gui were all stunned when they heard Zhu Xu's words, but they didn't expect the topic to jump so quickly, and they didn't react for a while.

Sun Chengzong looked at Zhu Xu, his expression was silent, and he pondered for a long time.

Zhao led the teaching, Man Gui was moved, his eyes were hot, and just about to speak, he looked at Sun Chengzong.

In this matter, they don't have much qualifications to speak, and it depends on Sun Ge's elders.

Zhu Xu leaned on the bib of the carriage and looked at Sun Chengzong quietly.

The test is coming.

The conquest of the desert is an extremely important psychological challenge for the Ming Dynasty and the opposition.

I don't know how many people will be able to walk through.

Zhu Xu said secretly in his heart.

After a long time, Sun Chengzong raised his head, looked at Zhu Xu and said slowly, "Your Majesty, I am now in the Ming Dynasty, and the internal affairs have reached the point where they need to be recuperated, and there is no time to delay, and the current treasury is not able to support a big war."

In particular, if this battle cannot be fully achieved, it will be tantamount to a major defeat, and from then on, the nine border towns and Liaodong will be in danger, and there will be no peace.

The Cabinet can no longer focus on the 'New Deal'......

Your Majesty, between these gains and losses, it is related to the two hundred years of my Ming Dynasty, please think twice. ” "What do you think?"

Zhu Xu didn't seem to hear it, and looked at Zhao Shujiao, Man Gui.

Man Gui is in charge of the Chijin Guard, has been stationed in Tumu Fort, directly against the Chahar Great Khan's tooth tent, has been training desperately all these years, it can be said that 30,000 cavalry has begun to take shape, worthy of a battle.

Therefore, he is actually ready to move in his heart and wants to fight.

But Sun Chengzong is not only his current boss, but also his boss in Liaodong, for so many years, Man Gui has almost always been regarded as Sun Chengzong's direct line, descendant, and deeply influenced by him.

Man Gui pondered Sun Chengzong's words, although he couldn't fully understand, he still clenched his fists and said to Zhu Xu: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Sun Ge's words are reasonable. ” Zhu Xu saw Man Gui's mind clearly, and turned his gaze calmly to Zhao Shujiao.

Although Zhao Shujiao is not in agreement with Man Gui, he is also Sun Chengzong's old general, and he is more 'shrewd' than Man Gui, he can understand Sun Chengzong's words, and his tone is quite euphemistic: "Your Majesty, although Chahar is not as good as Jiannu, but the northern region is too wide, if you can't fight and destroy it, the consequences will be unimaginable, please think twice." ” These worries are normal, Zhu Xu looked at the three of them, and said: "You have scruples about me, but you should understand better, in the next few years, the disaster of my Ming Dynasty will be heavier, there will be more affairs, and the national strength will be weaker. ” Sun Chengzong and the three of them frowned suddenly, all three of them had been in Liaodong for many years, how could they be unfamiliar with this scene.

Since the defeat of Salhu, Liaodong has fallen into a situation of being passively beaten by one strong and one weak, and has been guarding hard.

If you zoom in on this scene, when Yingzong was defeated in Tumubao, the entire Ming Dynasty became on the defensive, which is exactly the same!

Sun Chengzong knew that what Zhu Xu said was right, pondered for a while, and still insisted: "Your Majesty, after last year, the 'New Deal' has already had a preliminary foundation, if there are two or three more years, not only can the 'New Deal' be stabilized, but the treasury can also be relieved.

If the war starts now, once it fails, there will be no more power to fight back, and Liaodong will inevitably fester, and the impact will be unimaginable......"

Sun Chengzong is not a person who does not have a sense of the overall situation, but he lacks the understanding of this natural and man-made disaster.

The next few years will be the most drastic period of 'Xiaoice River', and Daming will be weaker than ever.

After that, it will take a long time to recover, and it may not be until ten years later that the Ming Dynasty will have the strength to fight.

If we can't eradicate the increasingly powerful Chahar before this, then the trouble in the future will be even greater, and the Ming Dynasty simply can't withstand the long border war of attrition that lasts for ten years!

It may be perished!

Zhu Xu clapped his palms on his knees, looked at the three of them, and said, "I have made up my mind about this matter, and I must completely exterminate Chahar within this year!"

Horqin's Badali is in the capital, waiting for the big discussion, the 'military reform' is completed, I decided to sit in the civil fort, a shame!

” Sun Chengzong, Zhao Shujiao, and Man Gui's faces changed greatly, and their eyes were horrified.

The three words of Tumubao were a taboo in the Ming Dynasty and a pain point, and no matter who mentioned it, it would make people recall that unbearable war.

At the same time, this is also the reverse scale of the Ming Dynasty, anyone who touches it will hurt, drill the heart!

The emperor in front of him mentioned that there is another reason why everyone changes color, that is, 'sitting in Tumu Fort' is equivalent to the imperial conquest, which is almost exactly the same as the old things of Yingzong back then!

The current Ming Dynasty is different from the original Yingzong period, at that time the Ming Dynasty was strong, and there were many Wenchen generals left over from the Yongle period, the key is that there is an adult Jingtai Emperor, the capital, the world is stable, so it can also win the battle to defend the capital.

If there is another change in the civil fort today, I am afraid that the death of the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner!

Sun Chengzong didn't expect Zhu Xu's determination to be so firm, his brows were furrowed, his eyes were solemn, he pondered for a long time, looked at Zhu Xu and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is too important, and there are a lot of things to deal with right now."

The minister suggested that he put it aside for the time being, and when these matters were dealt with in the next few years, he would convene the courtiers to discuss, and he must come up with a proper way to completely eliminate the threat of Chahar. ” Sun Chengzong's words not only have the meaning of 'complying', but also have the purpose of delaying time to wait for changes, Zhu Xu disagreed, and said: "I have ordered Dolgon to order 20,000 cavalry of Jiannu to go north, plus Ryukyu, Korea, Annam, Wa and other miscellaneous soldiers, gather 30,000 people, as a vanguard, from Shen.

Yang out, full of Gui's Chijin Wei 30,000 full formation, carrying 180 cannons, from the civil fort.

Zu Dashou's Tainingwei, and Horqin and other coalition troops, a total of 40,000 people, from the west, surrounded on three sides, must be completely wiped out in a battle, the date of the crusade is set in the big discussion, after the end of the military reform, the first day of April!

” Sun Chengzong, Man Gui, and Zhao Shujiao were dumbfounded, and looked at Zhu Xu with shocked expressions.

They didn't expect that Zhu Xu had not only made up his mind, but also set a date so early.

You know, it's only the tenth day of February, and it's only a little more than a month since the first day of April.

There is not even enough time for the whole army!

Zhu Xu didn't care about their faces, and looked at the three of them: "This matter, Sun Ge is in the middle of the dispatch, waiting for my edict to send troops, Man Gui, immediately rush back to the civil fort, wait for it, Zhao Shujiao, your ironclad cavalry can't relax, ready to rush to the aid of the civil fort at any time."

In addition, I will issue an edict to Zu Dashou, ordering him to command the combined forces of Tainingwei and Horqin, and be ready to advance eastward at any time.

I will send an order to Shanhaiguan later, ordering Xiong Tingbi to move to Shen.

Yang, commanding all military affairs in Liaodong, ready to move westward at any time!

” Sun Chengzong was extremely surprised, in this way, the army mobilized by the Ming Dynasty was nearly 200,000, not to mention the consumption of grain and grass in this move, the reaction of Chahar, just talking about the influence of the government and the opposition, I am afraid that it is tantamount to an earthquake!

Sun Chengzong's mind is chaotic, such a big move, at this time, I don't know how much change it will cause, and how much impact it will have on the current cabinet plan, which has already begun the 'New Deal'!

Zhu Xu didn't give them a chance to speak at all, looked at the three of them coldly, and said, "This matter should be kept confidential and not spread outside."

Okay, stop, you guys go down, you still have to get ready for a big show of martial arts for now. ” The carriage stopped quickly, and Sun Chengzong and the three of them had something to say to Zhu Xu, but Zhu Xu didn't want to hear it at all, so he waved his hand directly and said, "Man Gui, go back to Tumu Fort immediately, and the rest, what to do, what to do, get off." ” Sun Chengzong wanted to speak and stopped, but he didn't know how to persuade for a while, so he had to get out of the carriage.

The three of them got out of the carriage and watched as the carriage sped away, looking at each other in a cloud of dust.

Man Gui looked at the horse team of the guards, still did not wake up from the shock, turned his head to look at Sun Chengzong, and said, "My lord, the emperor, is there something ......

Arrogant?

” In fact, according to Man Gui's temper, if someone else is replaced, it is 'whether he is dizzy', but Zhu Xu has the grace of knowing him, and he does not dare to be so presumptuous.

Sun Chengzong always frowned, and he also had such doubts in his heart.

Today's emperor is young, and he has the immortal martial arts to pacify Liaodong, plus the two provinces of Ryukyu, Annam, and overseas, this territory has expanded I don't know how much, far beyond Taizu Taizong, if he gets carried away and wantonly comes, it is completely reasonable.

However, isn't this the same as the old story of Yingzong?

Sun Chengzong's heart was like a big stone, and he was uneasy.

His face was dark, and he was silent in his heart for a long time, but Sun Chengzong still said: "Man Gui, rush back to Tumu Fort immediately, be ready for battle, and don't let go."

As for us, we are still looking at the present and preparing for a big show of martial arts. ” Before Man Gui could speak, Zhao was stunned and said, "My lord, don't you need to discuss this matter with the cabinet lords?"

” Sun Chengzong shook his head and said, "You didn't understand the emperor's hints.

In addition, the cabinet now knows that it will only add to the trouble, and it is better to do all these things for now. ” Zhao led the church and said, "The lower officials obey the order." ” Sun Chengzong raised his head and looked at Zhu Xu's convoy, the carriage was no longer visible, but he still seemed to be able to see it, and the worry in his eyes was even deeper.

In Zhu Xu's carriage, Cao Huachun was also deeply shocked, but his face was always calm, for a while, he looked at Zhu Xu who closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you want to draft a decree and pass it to Zu Dashou of Tainingwei and Xiong Tingbi of Shanhaiguan?"

” "What are you wearing?"

Zhu Xu closed his eyes and said lightly.

Cao Huachun was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't the emperor just say ......"

Zhu Xu took a deep breath, still closed his eyes, and said, "Dolgon's army wants to go from Annan to Shen.

Yang, it will take several months, if he doesn't come, how can I start a war?

” Cao Huachun's shock turned into puzzlement, and he leaned closer and whispered, "Your Majesty, what was the conversation with Sun Ge and them just now?"

” Zhu Xu's eyebrows moved, and he said, "Don't remember, just assume that I haven't seen them today." ” Cao Huachun was full of doubts, looked at Zhu Xu's unmoving expression, and had to nod and say, "Yes." ”
