Chapter 133: Wa Ci is on the edge

Let’s go south first, and have another idea.

That is water chasing grass.

Generally speaking, although the drought on the grasslands is still relatively serious, the situation in Monan Mongolia is much better than that in Mobei Mongolia.

However, Monan Mongolia and the Northeast Plains are all Uliangha's territory.

Therefore, when the army went south, the main force of Wasi left Monan and went to eat in Monan, which suppressed Wu Liangha's living space. That is, with this move, whether it was a real fight or a fake fight, the main force of Wasi was It can be saved, and the loss will not be caused by the Waqi headquarters.

Such a big movement cannot be hidden from anyone.

The army of Wasi has not yet crossed the desert, and countless news has reached the Qianqing Palace from various places and channels.

Zhu Qizhen looked at the news from all directions and saw everything.

For a moment, he hesitated.

Do you want to start a war with Waqi now?

The main force of Wasi's army has already stationed in the Kaiping and Daning areas, and the Mongolians grazing herds have arrived within a hundred miles north of the Great Wall.

It's not that they don't want to go south.

But there is no need to go south.

Because of the Ming Dynasty's border army's habit of burning wasteland, the area more than a hundred miles north of the Ming Dynasty's border wall was all white, with almost no grass growing.

The thorns cannot be allowed to recuperate.

But even so, in order to prepare for the sudden attack of the Ming Dynasty, Wa Ci also sent a large number of scouts and scouts to cover the thousands of miles of border walls.

In order to prevent Wac's sudden attack, the four towns of Xuanfu, Datong, Liaodong and Haixi were all in a state of tension.

In the Wuying Palace.

Zhu Qizhen looked at Cao Nai and Zhang Fu and said, "The situation is already like this. What can the chief assistant and the Duke teach me?"

Cao Nai said: "Your Majesty, this is not the time to start a war with Waci. The severe drought in various places is getting worse day by day. I think it is time to restart your Majesty's policy of waiting for work to provide relief. Build water conservancy in Henan and Huaihe River. Wang Yonghe, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, can take on this important responsibility.”

This is not the first time Cao Nai has said this.

The opinion of the civil servants is very clear and clear, that is, if you cultivate virtue, others will obey you. As long as you do your best, foreign enemies will naturally not dare to invade you.

Faced with Qian Dingyou's temporary absence from the court, Cao Nai also introduced his favorite flood control minister, Wang Yonghe. Wang Yonghe also assisted Yu Qian in flood control, and was later transferred to the Ministry of Works to coordinate Jiangnan. Water control projects in Shaanxi and other places.

Now he is the Minister of Industry.

He is even a popular candidate to be the next Minister of Industry.

It was just right for Cao Nai to let him take charge of the Yellow River management project.

Nowadays, the severe drought is certainly a big problem, but when it comes to regulating the Yellow River, it is

This may not necessarily be a good thing. At least the Yellow River water has not reached the point where it has stopped flowing, but the reduction in water volume has also brought great benefits to the construction.

Sometimes Zhu Qizhen also felt Cao Nai's persistence.

Cao Nai never refuted Zhu Qizhen. Whenever Zhu Qizhen made a decision, Cao Nai never dared to say anything, but his persistence was to say what he thought was right once, twice, three times, four times and five times. come out.

They all look for when Zhu Qizhen is in a good mood and state it repeatedly.

It can be said to be a persistent fight, a tough fight.

If there are some matters that are not a matter of principle, Zhu Qizhen will be fine. After all, he does not want to have too much trouble with the cabinet, and he still needs the cabinet to handle the matter.

But river management is a big deal.

With Hebei's water conservancy consumption at the forefront, Zhu Qizhen had some estimates of the size of the Yellow River. Seeing that the tiles were becoming more and more excessive, Zhu Qizhen did not hesitate to do two major things at the same time.

The king of Zhu Qizhen looked around and said: "This matter can be discussed later. Let's talk about the Washi incident first. What do you think, Mr. British?"

The British Duke Zhang Fu said: "Whether to fight or not to fight is a national matter. I dare not say anything unreasonable. I can only say that if there are 100,000 elite cavalry deployed from Beijing Camp, Xuanfu and Datong Town, it will be enough to fight.

, Even though Wa Ci has 200,000 horsemen, I think that as long as we are cautious and do not advance rashly or pursue pursuit, we can defeat Wa Ci's army."

"Whether you want to fight or not is up to your Majesty. I can only say that the Ming Dynasty's soldiers can fight."

After hearing these words, Zhu Qizhen finally breathed a sigh of relief. With Zhang Fu's military endorsement, Zhu Qizhen felt more at ease even if the Waci army pressed on the border.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Okay, let's call Chengguo Duke Zhu Yong to see him."

Needless to say, Zhu Qizhen knew that there was only one general in the Ming Dynasty who had the ability and qualifications to command an army of 100,000, and that was Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong.

After all, Cheng Guo Gong Zhu Yong has been active in the Xuanda area since the battle of Wuliangha. This is Cheng Guo Gong's basic territory, except for Liaodong and Haixi, which were gradually brought under the direct jurisdiction of Zhu Qi Town.

Fu, Datong, Ningxia, Gansu, and other places are all the territory of Jingnan Xungui.

It also included most of the soldiers in the Beijing camp.

In the past few years, Zhu Qizhen had mixed sand into the army piecemeal, but it still did not shake the foundation of Jingnan Xungui.

Therefore, before the war, in order to reduce internal friction, Zhu Qizhen would not use his direct descendants. He could only use Cheng Guogong. Even this situation would not be changed within a few years.

After all, for Zhu Qizhen, victory is the greatest benefit, and everything else can be put aside first.

Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, has not yet reached the stage where his achievements are so great that he can overwhelm his master. Even if he does, Zhu Qizhen is confident that he can suppress him. Compared with Wasi, this is just a small step.

Duke Cheng Guo was outside Wuying Hall.

After receiving the summons, he immediately went to the temple and asked Zhu

Qi Zhen saluted and said, "I, the Duke of Cheng, Zhu Yong, pay homage to Your Majesty."

Zhu Qizhen saw that Zhu Yong was wearing a suit of armor with a chilling air. This armor did not look very new, and there were many traces of battlefield battles on it. Zhu Yong's temples were already gray, but he still had the spirit of a tiger.

Especially heroic.

Zhu Qizhen had never seen Cheng Guogong before, but he had never seen Cheng Guogong dressed up like this.

Zhu Qizhen understood in his heart that this was Duke Cheng's silent statement of attitude.

Zhu Qizhen was about to use Cheng Guogong at this moment. How could he not agree with Cheng Guogong and said: "You are really a good general. This armor was worn by Cheng Guogong when he followed Emperor Taizong in the Northern Expedition."

Duke Cheng Guo said: "Exactly." Then he pointed to the marks on it one by one. Although they had been repaired, the marks of swords and arrows were still there.

Point out one by one, when, where and with whom this battle was fought, when, where and with whom this battle was fought, from the cavalry in Peking to fighting in the world, the Battle of Jiahe, the Battle of Jinan, the Battle of Crossing the River, and the several Northern Expeditions

The battle is clear one by one.,

Zhu Qizhen looked overjoyed and said, "Come, let's serve some wine."

Immediately, a eunuch brought a jug of wine. Seeing this, Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "Bring a jug of wine."

Immediately, an eunuch brought two jars of wine. Zhu Qizhen patted the seal and handed one jar to Cheng Guogong. He carried the other jar himself and said: "The general is the pillar of the country and an old minister of Taizong. At this moment, Wa Ci is going south to peek at the imperial court. The world

There was a severe drought, and the people were eager for a spark. I was young and ignorant of military affairs, so I entrusted my family, my country, and my country to the general."

"The general is full of drinks."

Zhu Qizhen immediately drank from the jar. Zhu Qizhen was not a big drinker. He knew that he would not be able to drink the whole jar. Although he relaxed his hand lightly, the wine flowed down his clothes.

For a moment the aroma of wine filled my nostrils.

But Cheng Guogong Zhu Yong is really massive.

At this time, generals who could fight seemed to be able to drink. And they drank heavily. So Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, drank most of the jar of wine into his stomach.

Within a moment, his face was red and smelled of alcohol.

Zhu Qizhen took out another long sword and handed it to Zhu Yong, Duke of Chengguo himself, and said: "This is the sword assigned by Emperor Taizong. Now I give it to the general. I worship the general as the general who conquers the captives and commands the capital."

Camp, declare all the armies to be strong, and prepare for prisoners. If Wa Ci is safe, there is no need to mobilize troops. After all, there is a severe drought today, and I don’t want to block the beacon fire. But if Wa Ci is ignorant and does not recognize the good intentions of the court, General

The decision can be made without waiting for an order from the capital."

Although Zhu Qizhen didn't want to fight, he also knew that Wa Ci was coming in a menacing manner. Whenever there was a hint of weakness, Wa Ci would send troops. Wa Ci was essentially a beast.
