After Li Hongbi sat down,
All the distinguished disciples have arrived.
Qiu Fu immediately ordered the soldiers to get pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and distributed them one by one.
"You all listen to me!"
"This literary test is about policy theory and your own talents!"
"To be a general, one cannot only know martial arts, nor can he only use brute force. Such a person is not worthy of being a general!"
"A military general is not only good at martial arts but also good at literature. Only those who are good at literature and martial arts are the pillars of the country, and only then can they gain the respect and trust of His Majesty the Emperor!"
Qiu Fu's words can be said to express his own feelings.
In this life, the only thing he is inferior to Zhu Neng is his age and culture.
Qiu Fu is a whole round older than Zhu Neng, which means that if nothing unexpected happens, Zhu Neng will succeed him as the first general of the Ming Dynasty military.
What is even more deadly is culture.
Qiu Fu will never have the chance to study again in his life, and he is destined to have no hope of leading an expedition in this life.
Therefore, with the intention of supporting the younger generation, Qiu Fu directly spoke out what was in his heart, hoping that these distinguished children would wake up as soon as possible and work hard to inherit the mantle of their father and brother.
"Your Majesty has already set the question!"
"Come here, bring me the question!"
As soon as Qiu Fu finished speaking, a eunuch walked up to the crowd holding a sign.
There were several large gold-lacquered characters on the sign, which read "Why Ping Beilu"!
When Li Hongbi saw this topic, he immediately laughed.
Not surprisingly, this is very Zhu Di.
In history, Emperor Yongle flew six times and made five crossings, fighting against Tatars and Oaras. He hoped that he could completely solve the problem of the Northern captives for the Ming Dynasty and create eternal peace for future generations!
Emperor Yongle, also known as "General Zhengbei".
But unfortunately, his ambition did not come true.
Shortly after his death, his son, the great saint grandson, became the second generation of the Ming God of War.
The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty went on a personal expedition and led his army to the northern expedition to Oara. Not only did he kill 200,000 elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, he was even captured alive by the Oara, becoming the most typical representative of the loss of a teacher and humiliation of the country.
The second generation of the Ming Dynasty God of War, a foreign student from Wala, was called the emperor... single-handedly brought down the foundation of the third generation of the Ming Dynasty!
When he thought of this, Li Hongbi couldn't stop sneering on his face.
It is estimated that Li Jinglong will not live that long, and the two "Ming Gods of War" will probably have no chance of meeting each other.
But he, Li Hongbi, can!
Keep in good health, dance, and wait until this bastard comes to this world, and then find a way to beat him up!
No, it's the father's fault that the son doesn't teach him. It's not a good thing to call his father Zhu Zhanji the Son of Heaven. He's only five or six years old now, so we can start beating him up!
You have to spank your children sooner or later, otherwise you won't dare to spank them when they grow up.
Li Hongbi was smiling happily when someone suddenly slapped him on the forehead.
"You bastard, why are you smiling so obscenely?"
"Why don't you answer the question quickly!"
Qiu Fu retracted his hand and shouted: "Someone, bring me my chair!"
The next moment, Qiu Fu sat majestically opposite Li Hongbi. The two stared at each other, neither of them convinced of the other!
Seeing Qiu Fu slap his hand again, Li Hongbi immediately gave in and obediently lowered his head and began to answer the questions.
To put it simply, this policy discussion means that the emperor asks for advice, and the candidates offer suggestions and solutions.
If the strategy wins the approval of the emperor and important civil and military ministers, then the candidate will not be far away from becoming famous.
When the noble disciples saw this title, their eyes really lit up.
After all, they are all sons of meritorious deeds, and the troubles of the Northern Captives are a commonplace. They have always been a border security danger from the Hongwu Dynasty to the present. Even the fathers and brothers of most of these sons had gone to the fortress to fight and purge in the past. Mobei’s experience.
Therefore, for them, this question is simply a score-giving question!
How to beat the Mongolian Tatars, does this...need to think about?
I can write hundreds of different postures for you...
So all the distinguished disciples looked happy, immediately picked up their pens, polished them, and started answering questions excitedly.
However, Zhang Fu kept frowning and fell into deep thought.
This question is indeed very simple.
But just because it is too simple, it has greatly increased the difficulty!
You have to know that the person who asked this question is His Majesty the Emperor!
Is there anyone who knows the troubles of the Northern captives better than His Majesty the Emperor?
Before His Majesty ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he had been guarding Peking and guarding the borders. He also led his troops out to clear the desert many times!
If we really talk about it, there are really few people who know Beilu better than Your Majesty!
Therefore, those commonplace methods cannot be used here at all!
What His Majesty the Emperor wants is not to defeat the Mongolian Tatars once or twice. What he wants is to eliminate the troubles of the Northern Barbarians forever!
I have to admit that Zhang Fu is indeed a natural-born general, and he quickly figured out the deep meaning of Emperor Yongle's question.
But the difficulty lies in this place. How can we permanently eliminate the troubles of the Northern Barbarians?
Even with Zhang Fu's military strategic vision, it would be difficult for him to find the answer to this question.
Because there is no answer to this question!
Why?
Because it is not only the Ming Dynasty that suffers from the Northern Qin!
All the Central Plains dynasties have faced the same problem!
The Qin Dynasty, the powerful Han Dynasty, the prosperous Tang Dynasty... all the Central Plains dynasties could not completely solve the threat from the nomadic tribes!
And the only thing Zhang Fu can think of now is that based on the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty, the first thing to do is not to launch a war, but to recast the northern Xinjiang defense line!
Around this core idea, Zhang Fu also began to write.
Qiu Fu looked around the audience and was surprised to find that only Li Hongbi in front of him was still deep in thought and had not yet written.
This bastard boy, what does he want to do?
Did he really want to hand in a blank test?
This is a question set by His Majesty the Emperor himself!
If you dare to hand in a blank test, you are disrespecting and despising the Emperor, and you will die without knowing why!
When he thought of this, Qiu Fu couldn't help but cough twice, wanting to remind Li Hongbi not to be stupid and answer the questions honestly and quickly.
However, Qiu Fu coughed several times in succession, but Li Hongbi ignored him.
He even noticed that Li Hongbi's expression was very strange at the moment.
There is no such frivolity and laziness as usual, and there is no mean smile in the past.
He seemed to be making a very difficult decision and was caught in a painful struggle and entanglement!
In fact, Qiu Fu guessed right. Li Hongbi was indeed very confused now, or hesitating whether to answer seriously.
Just write casually and fool around a bit, you don’t need to be in the limelight, and you won’t steal Zhang Fu’s first place. It can be said to be the best of both worlds.
But the problem is that Li Hongbi wants to do this, but his conscience doesn’t seem to agree!
The troubles of the Northern captives have always been with the Ming Dynasty.
Putting aside the previous eight Northern Expeditions of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and setting aside the fact that Zhu Qizhen, the war god of the Ming Dynasty, humiliated the country by losing his army, during the Yongle period alone, the dog emperor Zhu Di personally went on five expeditions to the north of Mongolia.
As the Ming Dog Emperor, Zhu Di was the supreme leader of a country and was able to personally conduct military campaigns. In order to eliminate border troubles, he went on personal expeditions five times, which was rare in history.
His five Northern Expeditions also achieved good results, further weakening the Mongolian power, but that was all.
Because the Dog Emperor did not capture and kill the leader of the thieves, such as Arutai of Tatar and Mahamu of Oara.
In other words, even if he captured and killed these two people, it would not mean much. Even if he slaughtered all the Tatar tribe and Oara tribe, it would not mean much.
Now that you have beaten away a group of barbarians, another group of barbarians will appear soon and occupy the Mobei grassland.
And throughout the Yongle period, history was like this.
Zhu Di first attacked the Tatars. After crippling the Tatars, Oara took advantage of the situation and rose up. He sent troops to attack Oara again. After Oara gave up, the Tatars jumped up again... This cycle continued for more than 20 years.
So much so that Zhu Di also had a nickname - General Zhengbei!
You must know that the Ming army's Northern Expedition was essentially a labor-intensive expedition. Each time, a huge amount of money, food and equipment were spent, and hundreds of thousands or even millions of young people were mobilized.
Paying such a heavy price just to conquer the Tatars and Oaras, just to gain temporary peace, Li Hongbi thought it was not worth it!
The gain outweighs the loss!
At least, as far as the current situation in the Ming Dynasty is concerned, there must be no further expedition to the north!
There are still many things that the Dog Emperor needs to do right now!
Li Hongbi sighed, and under Qiu Fu's gaze, he finally started writing!
Qiu Fu's eyes widened as he wrote several long words in one swipe.
Finally, Li Hongbi put his pen on the case, stood up and left gracefully.
All that needs to be said has been said.
I hope the Dog Emperor can listen!
