I am the king of the dead

Zhu Qiyu stretched out his hand and said, "The Ming army is mighty, sit down."

The generals' meeting style was completely different from that of the Salt and Iron Conference. There was no noise or opposition. They all sat upright, waiting for the emperor's instructions.

The way of survival of generals is completely different from that of ministers.

Of course, if Zhu Qiyu was stupid and wanted to fight a decisive battle, and insisted on stationing in a place like Tumubao for a decisive battle, the generals would also object, but the way they opposed it was very explosive.

Zhu Qiyu also sat in the middle seat, pondered for a while and said: "When I was not enthroned, more than [-] soldiers of the Ming Dynasty's capital camp were buried in the civil fortress, and everyone in the capital was plain. This is the shame of the people of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Our robed Ze died in battle, and his blood feud has not been avenged. This is a disgrace to the Ming Army!"

"When I first came to the throne, the Oirats gave me a great gift. They broke through the pass, besieged the capital, and tried to force me to make an alliance under the city. This is my shame!"

"Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, for more than [-] years, there has never been a shame like this!"

Zhu Qiyu was very calm, but anyone could feel the anger in his voice.

"The Ming army has been on the alert for twenty months. It has been training day and night. I can see the growth of the Ming army every day. I can also see your growth."

"In this battle, I have only one request, to fight with the demeanor of Daming! To fight with the military might of Daming! To fight with the bravery of the Ming army! To fight for the victory of Daming!"

"Beat the enemy like a rat and run away, no matter where you meet the enemy, you will kill them all!"

"Blood feud can only be paid with blood! The blood feud between Daming and the Oirats is irreconcilable!"

"I have prepared the medals for meritorious service, the rewards for silver, and the good wine and food to reward the army. I am waiting for the triumphant return of the army! Let's drink together!"

Zhu Qiyu stood up and said, "Next, Yang Hong, Marquis of Changping, will preside over the battle meeting."

"Farewell to Your Majesty!" The general stood up and shouted loudly.

Zhu Qiyu's words are very simple, he wants victory, and he wants a huge victory!

The 20 troops of the Ming Dynasty came out of the capital, and with the cooperation of the Datong and Xuanfu troops, there were nearly 30 people, and the 3 people who fought against the Wala people. If they can't win a big victory, they will be defeated!

It is a general axiom that the victor is impunity.

Only when the Ming army wins one victory after another, can Da Ming embark on one glory after another!

Zhu Qiyu returned to his study of the head of the mountain, took out the joss stick, and turned over the spirit card of the transformation of the heroic spirit in the battle of Tumu Fort. In the battle of Tumu Fort, all those who died were Hao Erlang of Daming.

But their blood feud never avenged.

Zhu Qiyu lit the joss stick, and the evil spirits of Tumubao roamed around Zhu Qiyu again, they whispered, they roared, their faces were hideous, but Zhu Qiyu's expression was very calm.

"The [-]th Regiment Battalion of the Ming Dynasty has gone out of the fortress again. The army of the Ming Dynasty has not lost their courage, let alone the glory of their ancestors. Wait a minute, I will take Yexian's head and sacrifice it to you." Zhu Qiyu looked at the stick of incense quietly Burn out.

Xing'an stood beside His Majesty without saying a word. He knew this spiritual card, he knew His Majesty's inner obsession, and he knew that His Majesty killed King Jili in Taimiao not only for the throne, but also to comfort the dead .

He knows it all.

When the incense burned out, Zhu Qiyu reached out and turned the spirit card back, and the wandering undead disappeared.

Xing'an silently opened the window to dissipate the smoke.

Zhu Qiyu stood in front of the window, silently waiting for the end of the military meeting. During this time, he would not do anything.

What is war?

To render the enemy powerless is the real aim of the conduct of war.

Violence that compels the enemy to obey Ming's will is war.

Some well-meaning minds may readily think that there is an ingenious way of disarming or overpowering an opponent without inflicting too many casualties, and that this is the true direction in which the art of war develops.

Prospering Wen and Wu is also such a beautiful vision.

Zhu Qiyu never criticized courtiers for their aversion to the cruelty of war, which is the pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty by human nature.

However, the Wala people killed nearly 50 Chengding in Daming in Tumubao, which forced Zhu Qiyu to implement the farm law in Daming to restore the population of Beizhili and Kyushu outside the mountains.

Therefore, it can be proved that it is not stable to use ingenious methods to disarm the opponent or to defeat the opponent mentally.

No matter how wonderful this idea is, economic warfare, financial warfare, and public opinion warfare are all such wonderful ideas, and they are not reliable.

This wonderful but stupid idea is a mistake that must be eradicated.

For in such a dangerous business as war between two nations, these errors of kindness are precisely the worst.

Numerous times in history to prosper civil and military affairs have brought great evil results.

Whether it is the Han Dynasty after the siege of Bai Dengshan, the Jin Dynasty after the Eight Kings Rebellion, or the Tang Dynasty in the prosperous Kaiyuan Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty who was swayed by the military leaders and mafia politics and chose to emphasize literature over military affairs, all of them have proved this. Such a beautiful idea will inevitably lead to evil results.

Daming once embarked on this kind of beautiful and very stupid idea, and went all the way downhill in the principle of promoting culture and martial arts.

So Daming lost in a mess, and Daming used 50 strong men to explain a truth.

That is to give up illusions, and dignity is only above the edge of the sword.

Why is this wonderful idea wrong?

Because war is inevitable.

War has never been about pawns pushing the chessboard. The purpose of his birth was to make the opponent powerless to resist, and eventually one side completely surrendered to the will of the other.

No war is possible if one side absolutely endures it.

But will one party be able to endure it absolutely for a long time?

It must be impossible.

In the past [-] years of Daming alone, the Wala people who directly broke through the customs, the Tatars who chose to follow and jump repeatedly, and the Jurchens who saw the weakening of Ming Dynasty and took advantage of the fire, all explain a reason.

As long as Da Ming has not completely defeated the enemy and has not completely won, he has to worry about the enemy defeating Da Ming.

Therefore, before complete victory is achieved, war must exist, so no matter how wonderful the idea is, how perfect it is, it can only weaken the opponent, and even lead to the recovery of the opponent's strength.

Abandoning force is a stupid idea.

So how should we fight?

From ancient times to the present, war has nothing more than two factors, the means of war and the strength of will.

The means of war can be predicted, but the will to war cannot be judged by strength or weakness.

Yexian is not a stupid person, he was sharpened from the war, but he underestimated the resistance methods and will of the Ming army.

When the emperor leaves, the prisoner enters, the relocation, and the party's disasters all come together, it is not stupid to say that it is too impatient to enter the customs first.

In war, the enemy's will to resist is immeasurable.

Just like on the chessboard, the Prince's Mansion in the Battle of Jingnan, and the Chen Youliang Han Army in the Battle of Poyang Lake, their strength on the chessboard is crushing, but they suffered a crushing defeat.

For example, in the battle of the Kingdom of Jin to destroy the Northern Song Dynasty, in the small city of Taiyuan (Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi destroyed the 400-year-old city of Jinyang and built Taiyuan, which was surrounded by ten miles) less than ten miles away, the army of 250 troops followed Wang Zhi's three thousand victorious troops , played for a full [-] days.

Then in a war, the enemy's will to resist is immeasurable, so the enemy's strength is also immeasurable.

Since the strength of the enemy is immeasurable, in order to form an advantage, he will do his best.

The purpose of war is to destroy the enemy's resistance, the idea of ​​beauty and kindness is unrealistic, the existence of war is inevitable, the enemy's will to fight is immeasurable, so that the enemy's strength is immeasurable, etc. The nature of war itself determines: war is An act of extreme, all-out violence.

At this point, it is easy to conclude that war requires both sides to use each other's strength to the maximum extent.

Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath, it was after he and Yu Qian had played the chessboard so many times, he had some preliminary understanding of war.

This may be his biggest advantage. The books he reads are many and complicated. Those books that he read in the past have become subconsciously buried in the deep sea of ​​memory. When encountering them, they will jump out by themselves.

"Your Majesty, the six ministers and the Wenyuan Pavilion bachelors have also arrived." Xing'an reminded His Majesty in a low voice, and it was also Zhu Qiyu's decision to call the six ministers and the Wenyuan Pavilion bachelors to Juxian Pavilion in the martial arts hall.

The last time Chen Xun ran to the martial arts hall like a madman when he fought the Kou last time, and Zhu Qiyu still remembered the big ceremony and the question about the intention of the war.

"Then go." Zhu Qiyu nodded and said.

Zhu Qiyu came to another Yantie meeting room, he was not holding a Yantie meeting this time, so naturally he didn't need so many people, only Liubu Shangshu and Chen Xun were present.

The courtiers of the Ming Dynasty knew clearly that war was never an isolated act, so when His Majesty the Great Emperor turned around to suppress the bandits, they would have such a big battle and be scared out of their wits.

I thought that the Tumu Fortress Change would repeat itself, and it would be a terrible military adventure to abandon the six parts of Ming Dynasty to fight alone.

A perfect organizational structure can make strategy and tactics almost perfect, and Ming has the most complete war organizational structure in the world.

Daming has the most sophisticated government organization in the world at this time, which is not available to grassland people.

The Oirats, Tatars, and Wuliangha people used to have not-so-sophisticated government agencies, but their military failures led to political failures, and they lost this auxiliary ability.

This is Daming's advantage.

But when Zhu Qizhen took the Ming army out to fight, it only took five days from the personal conquest of the imperial edict to the personal conquest of the army. It really is not a stupid word to describe it.

"See Your Majesty, is Your Majesty blessed?" All the ministers saluted.

Zhu Qiyu stretched out his hand and said, "An, sit down."

Yu Qian was a little restless, he looked around, and finally decided to let himself, the most trusted subject of His Majesty, explore the will of the Great Emperor.

He leaned forward and asked, "Your Majesty, the subject is overbearing. Is Your Majesty planning to personally conquer this time?"

This is a question that must be determined.

Daming can't afford to have the emperor captured for the second time now. If Zhu Zhanqian is really invited to come to Beijing to be the emperor, the vassal kings from all over the country will rise up immediately, and then Daming will once again face the four disasters of subjugation.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said: "I still want to take the abbot's palace examination. Is it right to let Shilin go to the stage to perform the personal conquest? Or is the palace examination not held?"

Yu Qian breathed a sigh of relief. If the emperor was captured, he would have nothing to do for His Majesty.

Yu Qian had already expected the worst outcome.

If, of course, it was only if, the Wala people invited the heavenly soldiers and generals to defeat the Ming army in Jining, and he could also mobilize the volunteers in Gyeonggi to train and fight the battle of the capital again.

After all, he has already played once, with rich experience and proficiency.

After the Battle of the Capital, His Majesty pushed him out and cut him off, saying that the fight against Jining was caused by Yu Qian's bewitching, Yu Qian was in power, Yu Qian was the one who encouraged the troops, Yu Qian was the one who made the decisions, and even the governor of the military affairs was Yu Qian, so he cut it off He can also be regarded as an explanation to the world.

Peace in the world.

Hasn't it been this way since ancient times?

Yu Qian had psychological expectations, but once His Majesty personally conscripted and was captured, he would be completely helpless.

It will take three or four months to invite Zhu Zhanqian to Beijing from Xiangyang Mansion, and then King Xiang is willing to come.

Will King Xiang come?Then you must refuse, will you die when you come to Beijing?

King Xiang is very understanding, not a fool.

His Majesty did not conscript himself, but the Beijing camp went out to fight and train troops. This result made the six ministers look at each other a few times, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

If the emperor is not captured, Daming has plenty of ways to deal with the Oirats slowly. Daming has this background, as long as the Oirats are dragged into the abyss of national power competition, the Oirats will undoubtedly die.

"Your Majesty, the minister is terrified. Wala is an opponent from the Tianshan Mountains in the west to the Daxianbei Mountains in the east."

"Although their population is not prosperous enough, they are very deep. I think that the elimination of Oirats, especially those who have fled to Mobei Helin, will not be accomplished overnight, but will require a long-term attack." Yu Qian continued.

First of all, he wants to confirm another basic fact with His Majesty.

That is war. It is never short, nor is it the only blow that can completely wipe out the enemy.

The Han eradicated the Xiongnu, the Tang eradicated the Turks, and the Ming Dynasty attacked the Northern Yuan several times to destroy its royal court. They did not fight once or twice, but lasted countless times and lasted for countless years.

The former Mongol Empire and later the Northern Yuan Dynasty were all extremely powerful opponents. Emperor Taizu Gao's pioneering feats of martial arts, and Emperor Taizong Wen's bravery in personally fighting the enemy, had never defeated the enemy in one battle. He did not want His Majesty to commit a fatal error.

Yu Qian can cover the whole story for His Majesty and give an explanation to the world, but what about after that?How to talk about the road to revival of the Ming Dynasty?

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "This time I'm just attacking Jining to restore the old military settlements in the Hongwu and Yongle years, and strengthen the control of the Hetao area."

Zhu Qiyu thought about it seriously, and he also understood Yu Qian's worries, and said with a smile: "I invested 500 million silver coins in rice beams, military equipment, rewards, and military expenses, just because I don't want to lose, and it's not because I want to destroy Wala."

Yu Qian breathed a sigh of relief again, His Majesty has been sitting in the martial arts hall for more than a year, and it is not in vain.

At least the current Majesty does not have the immature feeling of the past.

At that time, Oala besieged the capital, and when the four disasters of national subjugation came together, His Majesty still wanted to go out to pursue them. The mentality of eager for quick success made Yu Qian quite worried that His Majesty would make mistakes.

But from beginning to end, His Majesty did not make any mistakes.

His Majesty the Great Ming Emperor, you are getting more and more stable!

Numerous facts have proved that His Majesty the Emperor of Ming is invincible, and Daming is naturally invincible in the world!

This is also the general axiom of Ming Dynasty.

"Then what do I want? Are you ready? Has no one scolded me for being the king of subjugation?" Zhu Qiyu asked back.
