Zhu Yijun was a little embarrassed by Shen Shixing's words. ,
Originally, it was not a problem that the strategic plan was too big. This was what Gao Pragmatic and Zhu Yijun had agreed to when they stated the strategy before the war.
There is nothing to criticize for mobilizing the elites of Xuanda University. If we don't mobilize the elites in such a war that is related to the national power, is it embarrassing to send some useless trash?
Besides, it would be a big shame to lose the battle.
However, Zhu Yijun also couldn't understand the fact that Gao Pragmatic "almost rebuilt the old Yuan Zhongdu" before the Battle of Shacheng.
In his opinion, the Battle of Shacheng was certainly a very important turning point. Without this battle, it would have been an almost impossible task to deal a heavy blow to the 60,000 to 70,000 Mongolian cavalry gathered in Tumen. .
However, this does not mean that we will help the Mongols rebuild the Central Capital, right? After all, the Tumen really don't seem to have any ability to attack fortresses. Maybe they just reinforced the sand city a little before, and that's enough?
However, even though Zhu Yijun thought so, he would not think that Gao Jingjing's approach was a failure. After all, he knew that Gao Jingjing had never seen Tumen Khan's ability to attack difficulties with his own eyes before, so naturally he could only have a high opinion and not underestimate it. This is also a sign of caution and stability.
To seek stability in a war, as long as the opportunity is not missed, it is certainly not a mistake.
However, it was difficult for him to answer Shen Shixing's words. He pondered and planned to find an excuse for Gao Pragmatic to pass on.
At this time, Elder Xu Guo, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke and said with a smile: "I have to disagree with this."
Shen Shixing didn't seem displeased, but instead smiled slightly: "May I ask why?"
Xu Guodao: "Soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival. We must pay attention to the battle of Monan. The battle in Monan is, at the most serious level, for the purpose of stabilizing the northern border of our country. At the least level, it is for the purpose of continuing Implementing the policy of Gao Wenzhenggong in the past to control the west and control the east. No matter how you look at it, Gao Qiuzhen's victory has perfectly achieved the purpose of this war, that is to say, stabilized the country's power."
When he said this, he smiled slightly and asked: "I would like to ask, isn't the stability of our country's power more important than a million taels of silver? What's more, after stabilizing the country's power, more than half of the Western Huai East System has been completed. Tumut has been completely embraced by me, and Chahar has been severely injured. Tumen's actions in Jiliao this time are just to prove that they still have the strength to fight. I hope that the Mongolian tribes will not suffer because of the failure of the Battle of Monan. And just abandoning him, in the final analysis, this is just the aftermath of the Battle of Monan, so it doesn’t make any sense!”
Zhang Siwei was relieved that although Xu Guo was from the south and was born in Huizhou, a place where spiritual learning is extremely popular, he still sat upright and always followed the teacher's high-gone footsteps.
And what he said just now is also very good. Is it because you are so worried about the little money that you can't see the mountain, or do you simply have ulterior motives? Obviously after this battle is won, the overall situation of our country has undergone fundamental changes. From now on, as long as we slowly tighten the rope, Tumen will be strangled to death!
Faced with such a great achievement, you actually care about whether he spent more money than ordinary wars?
Even if those battles were fought a hundred times, would they have the same effect as the battle in Monan?
This is simply unreasonable!
Not only did Zhang Siwei immediately agree after hearing this, but even Pan Sheng, who had always been neutral, also gave a rare nod and said: "The Battle of Monan has indeed completed most of the control of Western Huaidong. Next, we, the Ming Dynasty, only need to continue to push forward. strategy, Tumen is like a rabbit’s tail, it won’t grow.”
Seeing that the situation was not good, Shen Shixing calmed down and took retreat as the way forward: "Hey, you guys have misunderstood. Shi Xing has always said that Gao Qiuzhen's battle was a good one. It's just the current problem that lies with the court." The treasury can no longer support it, and it is really difficult to use another sum of money to reward Tumut."
It was Yu Youding's initiative to talk things over with money. Of course, he couldn't watch Shen Shixing fight alone, so he had no choice but to support Shen Shixing's statement and stood up and said: "Yes, Ci Kui and I are not questioning this battle. The outcome of the war is to be considered based on the actual situation, so as to prevent the imperial court from bearing too heavy a burden, causing the state affairs to not run smoothly and causing changes."
Zhang Siwei snorted softly and suddenly turned to Zhu Yijun and asked: "Your Majesty, I would like to verify that Qiuzhen and King Shunyi agreed on the specific conditions for sending troops? For example, how many of Tuotuo's troops will be stationed in Daning? Nan, how much reward is required from me, the Ming Dynasty, and even the cost of stationing in the south of Daning City, is Tumut responsible for it himself, or will I, the Ming Dynasty, provide it?"
Zhu Yijun breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that you were finally tired of waffling and started talking about business?
He stretched out a finger and said with a smile: "The reward Tumut asked for is very simple, and it doesn't cost my Ming Dynasty a penny."
This sentence is so amazing. If it doesn’t cost money, what’s a reward? Could it be that Han Naji felt that the title of King of Shunyi was not prestigious enough and wanted to be crowned a one-word king? I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, right?
But Zhu Yijun didn't give them a chance to ask questions, he already said with a smile: "When it comes to doing business, negotiating, etc., you are still good at seeking truth. The reward he negotiated with King Shunyi is a package of aid to Tumut from my Ming Dynasty. .”
"Assistance?" Shen Shixing frowned and said, "King Shunyi has already shocked Mongolia after the Battle of Monan. Where does he need any assistance now?"
In fact, Zhang Siwei and others also thought so, but it was difficult to ask.
But Zhu Yijun smiled mysteriously: "This assistance does not mean military assistance. To put it in truth-seeking terms, it is cultural, educational and economic assistance."
"Oh?" Several pavilion elders reacted surprisingly unanimously this time.
Zhu Yijun laughed, feeling very happy in his heart, and said loudly: "To tell the truth, King Shunyi hopes that I, the Ming Dynasty, can send some teachers to Mongolia to help the Mongolians, especially the Mongolian nobles, with their writing. Don't just know how to fight and kill, you must You have to know the principles of being a human being. In addition, King Shunyi also hopes that we can help them continue to cultivate fields in the Tumochuan area. Of course, we are not asking us to cultivate them, but to sell them some good seeds and agricultural tools."
After saying this, he immediately added: "They will pay for it."
Shen Shixing was in disbelief and asked subconsciously: "Is there anything else?"
Yu Youding also stared at the emperor with wide eyes, waiting for him to say, "Of course."
However, Zhu Yijun obviously disappointed them. He shook his head decisively and said: "No, that's all. Qiu Zhen said that this matter is easy to handle. We have failed scholars from the Ming Dynasty all over the street. We can just collect a hundred and ten for them and send them over. That's enough." They learned what they learned, and they also told the truth that the salaries of the scholars they sent there were extremely high, and they were at least five times as much as those in the Ming Dynasty."
Shen Shixing and Yu Youding looked at each other, exhaled a sigh of relief, and were too lazy to speak anymore.
Things are really unpredictable. What else can I say? Not only did they not ask for money, but they also gave me fucking money! 11
