Xue Guoguan wanted to praise his son-in-law-to-be, but Wu Di said all the words, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart. Whether the second assistant was unintentional or intentional, this compliment was recognized by his colleagues.
"To fight foreign affairs, we must first settle the domestic affairs" embodies the imperial court's policy of dealing with internal and external troubles. It is the essence of adhering to the established decrees for a long time in the future. As long as the priorities of border affairs and internal affairs are sorted out first, they can be properly handled later.
Like Emperor Chongzhen, when he frequently dispatched officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress rogue bandits, he also tried to resist the Eastern captive army. This overestimating strategy itself is a self-contradictory proposition.
The imperial court's military strength was limited, and the food and wages were even less than the troops needed. When the Donglu were unable to shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, it was undoubtedly a wise move to take the lead in annihilating the rogue bandits.
Only when most of the main bandits in various places are eliminated can the imperial court mobilize the officers and troops fighting in the south to go north to resist the plundering of the Eastern invaders. Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty will always be in a situation of being attacked from both sides.
As for the issue of dealing with the Donglu, the emperor's attitude was also wavering. Especially when the Donglu army went south again last winter, the emperor wanted to fight but also wanted to make peace.
Lu Xiangsheng faced the emperor and made an impassioned speech. The emperor's blood boiled and his heart palpitated when he heard it, and he agreed to mobilize the available troops in Jifu area to fight to the death with the Donglu.
After that, Yang Sichang suggested that it would be better to negotiate a peace, which would allow the Donglu troops to retreat outside the pass without losing their troops. The emperor then ordered Gao Qiqian to control Lu Xiangsheng, and secretly restrained him.
Such orders were changed day by day, and eventually, instead of negotiating a peace, various parts of the north were massacred and plundered by the Eastern captives. In the Beizhili area, the Ming army also lost tens of thousands of elite troops.
It would be fine if this was an emperor who had just ascended the throne and was not familiar with the world. However, it is completely incomprehensible for an emperor who has been on the throne for twelve years to make such a low-level mistake. Not only the civil and military officials cannot understand it, but also the history of later generations. No one can understand it.
Judging from the judgments he has made since he ascended the throne, his ability to make correct judgments on important matters is almost negligible. Many times, he has no opinion at all and is deceived by those around him to the point where his brain is deprived of oxygen. .
When he ascended the throne for seventeen years, he even gave up the opportunity to move the capital out of anger with his ministers. Until the enemy made dumplings for him, he still did not give up the last chance to blame him and scolded his ministers as the ministers of the country's subjugation.
He also didn’t want to think about who promoted and appointed these treacherous ministers, and who tricked those loyal ministers to death...
Originally, Cao Wenzhao would not die in defeat because a certain emperor urged him to die!
Lu Xiangsheng will not fight alone, or because a certain emperor decomposed his military power on his own!
Sun Chuanting, who had just been released from prison, would not lose to his former defeated general Li Zicheng, for exactly the same reason.
Every time a good general of the Ming Dynasty led his troops into battle, a certain emperor wanted to personally command the front-line troops.
However, my intuition is terrible, my talent is close to zero, and my luck is not as strong as athlete's foot.
In this way, a certain emperor continued to urge his life tirelessly until all the good generals were urged to death.
When a certain emperor saw the crooked-necked tree in his destiny, he still didn't want to repent and still believed that the responsibility belonged to his subordinates.
The Ming Dynasty was ruined alive by this kind of brain-dead emperor. It didn't even last for twenty years before it collapsed!
Yaoji just wants to ask a certain stupid emperor: These generals are not timid on the front line, and they are not rebelling. Why don't you urge MLGB~!
It's like you're driving on the highway and your parents are calling you like crazy, but you still have to answer the phone. After answering once, they call again immediately, and you still have to answer. The cycle starts over and over again, and you finally don't answer the phone. Even destroying people is no longer enough...
You will be outside, and your orders will not be accepted.
As long as they can win, it doesn't matter what the process is.
If you really lose the fight, it won't be too late to punish you later.
But a certain emperor didn't understand this truth until his death. He urged the first one to die, and then the second one.
It seemed that urging him to die was an indispensable part of his life. If he didn't urge him for a day, he would feel uncomfortable all over.
Regarding this suppression of bandits, a certain prince only made plans for the two commanders-in-chief on the tactical objectives, marching route, required time and other issues.
How to implement it is their business. A certain prince is only responsible for raising food, wages and ordnance, and then he can wait for good news.
If you don't have the ability to go on a personal expedition, just wait patiently in the capital, otherwise it will only become a big joke in the history books of later generations.
There are students in every class who are never late but have poor grades. The so-called diligent emperor is just such a thing. Compared with those poor students, this guy has no self-awareness. This is the most fatal flaw.
If a person does not know his own strengths, he can at least survive.
But if you don't know your shortcomings, you are not far from death.
I can’t drive, but I like to drive at high speeds.
I can’t swim, but I want to take a dip in the sea.
I don’t know how to drink, but I drink from a bottle with my friends.
If this kind of person doesn't die, who will?
The team lost the first game because a coach thought the grass was too slippery.
The team lost the second game and a certain coach thought the lights were too dark.
The team lost its third game because a coach decided it was too hot.
The team lost the fourth game, and a certain coach thought the referee was too bad.
The team lost the fifth game, and a certain coach thought the fans were too noisy...
When it comes to a certain emperor, the reasons for defeat will be the cowardice of generals, slander by civil servants, raids by Eastern captives, cunning bandits, frequent natural disasters, raging plagues, in short, excuses that you can think of and can't think of will appear.
I never know how to find the reason within myself. It’s true that crows hate coal!
The most deceiving thing is that once an emperor wakes up and sees that the situation has greatly improved, he will instinctively think that everything was a fluke.
The prince just has little luck, and his ability to govern is far inferior to himself. If he had not fainted, the same great situation would have happened now.
Yao Ji can now guess that after the blame dumper opens his eyes, not only will he not appreciate it, but he will firmly hold the power in his hands again.
As long as he resists even a little bit, the dumper will immediately glare at him and scold him harshly: What do you know, little kid with a yellow mouth?
Being self-indulgent, being unkind, being unfaithful, and overachieving are the three major character traits of a scapegoat. If you have to add a fourth trait, that would be retarded!
Optimistically speaking, his IQ is only ten percentage points higher than that of Emperor Hui of Jin who loved minced meat!
There are two types of mentally retarded people. Some of them can be seen at a glance. Everyone will understand what is going on and will not care about it.
The other type is someone who can't be seen from the outside, but the things he does are all done by a mentally retarded person, and everyone is secretly scolding him.
For a certain emperor, mentally handicapped is definitely not an adjective, but a tailor-made noun!
If any readers are dissatisfied, Qingming Festival is here, you can go and ask Cao Wenzhao, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, and Hong Chengchou!
The feelings and conclusions of these four people must be surprisingly consistent. If they hadn't been tricked by a mentally retarded emperor, how could they have ended up like this?
After 20 years of shirking the blame, 1639 was the last time the Ming Dynasty came back to its glory.
Only the fifth battalion of Gezuo was still looting in the Dabie Mountains. Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others had surrendered to the imperial court, while Li Zicheng was hiding in Shangluo Mountain to recuperate.
After that, they directly entered the "most advanced stage of cancer". Henan was swept away by Li Zicheng, half of Huguang was captured by Zhang and Luo, and the total strength of the rogue bandits suddenly increased by nearly ten times.
No good medicine or surgery can cure it. Unless the time traveler drives over a "Gundam" or a truck of AK and unlimited ammunition, he can crush the army of couriers all over the mountains and plains.
Of course, there is also the most "realistic" operational technique, which is to turn on the aura of victory and ensure victory in every battle, regardless of the strength of one's own troops, the equipment, the enemy's generals, and combat power.
This kind of skill, let alone at the end of the Ming Dynasty or any other dynasty in history, even if you challenge Thanos single-handedly, you can beat the purple potato spirit to the point of losing his armor and peeing.
Then he made his Infinity Gauntlet into his own Infinity Pants, because he boasted too much and couldn't cover it without making Pants!
"It's getting late, and I will soon be keeping you dear friends. I have a rest tomorrow. You can rest at home and don't worry about government affairs. Especially you can't tell the truth after drinking. The matters discussed just now are not allowed to be disclosed to others except Liu Zeqing's head. . I believe that if we want to buy enough time for Hong Chengchou and his troops to march secretly, they must keep it secret for a long time and only announce it to the government and the opposition after two weeks."
Since it has been kept secret for such a long time, it is not bad to postpone it for another half month. By around April 20, even if it is published directly in the newspaper, it may be too late for the spies hired by Zhang Xianzhong to see the information.
By that time, the two armies of Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou had arrived at the scheduled assembly point, and they would launch a full-line attack in a few days.
If the rogue bandits entrenched in northern Huguang want to revolt collectively, they can only choose to break out to other places instead of attacking the city locally. Otherwise, they risk being surrounded by the government troops or even being annihilated.
Therefore, Yaoji does not plan to announce the military action plan next Monday. This should not be regarded as a change of orders overnight. Anyway, it has not been officially issued yet. Even if an order is issued, it can be withdrawn before execution.
A certain prince believed that the minimum confidentiality period should be April 20th. Since the courtiers had been misled by the Fifth Battalion of Gezuo, he would not correct it. This was good, as it would save some people from really disclosing it in private. What a lie.
"Your Highness, how do the government and the public explain Liu Zeqing's incident?"
Wang Jiayan already knew the prince's instructions, but the head he sent had to be explained. After all, Hong Chengchou killed a general when he arrived in Jining. There was no reasonable explanation.
"It's very simple, collude with Liu Liangzuo and plot a rebellion!"
The pot is ready, and the person taking the pot has already been in place. All Yaoji has to do is to dump the pot.
If anyone dares to question, just ask Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing. They will definitely give you a very unsatisfactory answer.
"...I obey!"
After knowing the truth, this reason is too far-fetched, but for people who don't know the truth, it is very likely that it is the case. Guys who know Liu Zeqing's personal character can strongly agree.
As long as the content is published in the "Jingshi Daily", most people will believe it. Now the power of the media has gradually emerged. Not to mention the news about the imperial court, everyone has no doubts about the content of the advertisements.
Wang Jiayan didn't want his hard-earned rest day to be messed up by himself, so he acquiesced to this reason and sent his head. Now that everything is said is a thing for the future, there is no need to dwell on it.
Besides, in this matter, the prince was the mastermind and Hong Chengchou was the executor. They had nothing to do with the Ministry of War or himself. All the Ministry of War had to do was record and file it.
The murder of the commander-in-chief is a big deal, but if the commander-in-chief is suspected of treason, then he deserves to die. The government and the public will soon forget about this matter, because there are too many governors who have been killed these days, let alone the commander-in-chief. .
The prince will not kill innocent people. This is what the ministers have realized these days. Except for the main culprit who must be punished, most of the family members will be exempted from the death penalty. Being sent to the mountain to mine is considered a punishment measure.
Having said that, if Liu Zeqing is not killed and what he does in the future is really unfortunately revealed by Military Master Liu of the Immortal Realm, then the guilt will be too great and ordinary people cannot bear it. Anyone who has excused him before will be imprisoned.
Who can guarantee that Liu Zeqing, who is both obedient and treacherous, will not become the second Kong Youde in the future? Launch a rebellion similar to Dengzhou?
If this is the case, even half of the mountain along the canal will be endangered.
"Externally, it is still claimed that Hong Chengchou's troops are pursuing the remnants of Liu Liangzuo, and there has been no latest report on relevant matters."
Yaoji wants to squeeze out the last bit of Liu Liangzuo's value before he gives up. If he hasn't caught this guy yet, he will only have this little use value left. Otherwise, Hong Chengchou's army will not return for a long time, and both the government and the public will be confused.
By the time he leads his troops to the southern area of Henan and announces his purpose widely, it will be a done deal and it will be too late for some people in the government and the opposition to be dissatisfied. They can go as they please.
There were only a few hundred men and horses who fled following Liu Liangzuo, which was still relatively small, and their combat power was not high. They could not cause much trouble for the time being, and troops could be deployed along the way to pursue them.
Don't let Hong Chengchou's energy be tied up by "Hua Ma Liu" because of the small gain. The top priority of the department at the moment is still to eliminate "Zhang Da Zongzi".
Making rice dumplings for Zhang Xianzhong during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zha Ming's top priority this year. Unless this demon king dies, the entire Yangtze River Basin will not be at peace.
Even if Hong Chengchou cannot lead his army to wipe out all his troops, he will still have to severely damage his troops so that he will not dare to cause harm to all parties in a short period of time. It is best to be similar to Li Zicheng's current situation.
This can be regarded as the bet with the largest amount of chips that a certain prince has made since he was in charge of the country, but he is not the trader himself, so he has to rely on two old players.
Fortunately, the two experienced subordinates also had considerable experience in suppressing bandits. With sufficient food and salary and an advantage in military strength, the possibility of defeat was not high.
Although Yao Ji also hopes to win as soon as possible, he knows that it is useless to rush and interfering will be counterproductive. If Yongzheng can tolerate Nian Gengyao, he does not need to worry about the war in Huguang area.
With the good news, when Yang Jinchao saw such a happy event, he would definitely start shouting outside the hospital.
Otherwise, it is better to seize the time and write some bound volumes. Bo Jue and others will point to this thing as spiritual food.
Yaoji also specifically told Bo Dacaizi that it was okay to read the sulfa bound book, but it was absolutely not advisable to arrange it privately.
Making this kind of thing involves strong acid. If you are not careful, you will be disabled. In the past, subordinates had injuries to that extent.
Chemical reactions are far more dangerous than physical experiments. Losing a scientist because of secretly refining sulfonamide is obviously not a worthwhile business.
Bo Jue wanted to see it on site accompanied by relevant personnel. Now that the personnel at the factory have gradually become familiar with the process, the possibility of accidents has been greatly reduced.
Everything is fine except that the output is still not high.
