After plowing the courtyard in Chenghua, the Tatars became much more peaceful.

But after Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, the border still continued to be friction.

Moreover, because Emperor Hongzhi always focused on resting and recuperation, border wars were mainly defense.

When the Tartars came, they fought back.

But at most, there will be no major military operations.

Emperor Hongzhi was actually very frustrated.

But there is no way, the reality is that it is frustrating and has to endure it.

It's different now.

Rich now!

Nowadays, there are many internal conflicts between the country and the dynasty, and fighting a war can actually transfer some of the conflicts.

To fight, we naturally have to listen to the Minister of War.

Liu Daxia sat in his original position and heard Emperor Hongzhi's words, and wanted to persuade him a few words.

"Your Majesty, it is better not to be too hasty in the matter of sending troops to fight, according to my opinion."

"It should be discussed in the long run."

"If the troops are sent, the military pay cannot be cut off."

"These two million taels will definitely be exhausted."

Although he has been actively rectifying the ills of the frontiers and has done a lot of things for the soldiers at the bottom.

But Liu Daxia has always opposed the imperial court's dispatch of troops to fight.

In his opinion, the best strategy for the frontier is now defense.

If you can avoid fighting, it is best not to fight.

Liu Jian also nodded and said, "What Lord Liu said is very true."

"Now the frontier soldiers are sleepy and exhausted, and the situation of the Border General is still rectifying. I think I have to wait for the right opportunity."

"There are many places available to the court in this money, and if you fight, it will be in vain."

Of course Emperor Hongzhi knew about this.

But at this time, he was eager to be peaceful and felt that the time was almost done.

No matter what this time, he will send troops once.

At the beginning, the government bonds sold in the face were for war.

I have money, but I still don't take action.

When will you have to wait?

Just when Liu Daxia and others wanted to say more.

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and said directly: "Your dear friends, don't talk about it."

"I have decided on the matter of sending troops."

"Qin Aiqing has been in the border for many years and has been fortunate to protect the peace of the border."

"But after he retired, the Tartars have been plundering on the frontier for more than a year."

"Although my generals are not as good as Taizu and Taizong, I can never tolerate foreign tribes continuing to plunder our Ming territory."

Before, Qin Hong guarded the border, rectified military discipline, and led the soldiers of the border to build border castles, and also made "winning cars" to defend the enemy.

He has been in the frontier for three years and has a good management position.

There has been no great friction on the frontier.

But after he retired last year, the little prince had led various tribes to invade several large-scale times.

Emperor Hongzhi now has money and has a lot of confidence.

So he made up his mind to send troops this time.

Seeing that the advice was ineffective, Liu Daxia and others looked at each other, but it was hard to say anything else.

Although the military power is in the Ministry of War.

But if the emperor insisted on doing this, the Ministry of War could only obey.

The two million taels of silver in front of me are enough to fight.

I am afraid that the war will be delayed, and the cost will probably be difficult to calculate.

Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi was full of spirit, several people did not speak out for a moment to persuade him.

After so many years of monarch and ministers, they have actually had a good deal with the emperor.

When the emperor was in a hot mind, his constant persuasion would only backfire.

I have to wait until he calms down, analyze the pros and cons, and slowly plan it.

Everyone had different thoughts and left Fengtian Palace first.

Zhu Houzhao, who was standing beside him, saw that the ministers did not persuade him and left one after another.

I suddenly felt spirited.

In this way, isn’t war imperative?

He quickly expressed his demands and begged: "Father, my son is willing to send baggage with the army."

Zhu Houzhao proposed it only after all the ministers left.

Otherwise, they would definitely say a lot of bad things without saying anything.

At that time, the father would definitely be convinced by them and stand on the same needle and thread as them.

Now I will say it alone, as long as his father agrees, everything will be easy.

After hearing Zhu Houzhao's request, Emperor Hongzhi frowned and looked at his son.

The crown prince of a country, just like this golden ball, how can he run to the frontier?

Zhu Houzhao didn't wait for Emperor Hongzhi to speak, and directly expressed his thoughts.

"Father, think about it."

"If the materials exchanged for two million silver are transported by others, there will be not much left after layers of exploitation and the soldiers of the border."

"Previously, Shangshu Liu also said that if the generals deduct more than half of the soldiers on the border will be so poor."

"With a son-in-law's military supervision, he will definitely avoid layer by layer of exploitation just like issuing national debts."

Moreover, the soldiers on the frontier saw that the princes of the Ming Dynasty rushed to the frontier.

It is like the emperor personally commanding the army.

While encouraging the morale of the army, it can also win people's hearts.

It's just killing two birds with one stone!

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but jumped his forehead as he listened to Zhu Houzhao's analysis.

I have to say that it makes a lot of sense!

It's indeed.

With so much military pay, it must have been exploited heavily when it reaches the border.

If the people at the bottom are exploited, they will be used very little on soldiers.

Liu Daxia had already explained this kind of thing to Emperor Hongzhi a few years ago.

To avoid exploitation, you can only find someone to follow the army to supervise.

If Zhu Houzhao was not the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongzhi would definitely be moved by him.

However.

He still couldn't help but scold him: "Nonsense!"

"As the crown prince of a country, do you actually have such an idea?"

"Why are you as naive as you think?"

Zhu Houzhao was waiting for the answer just now, but Emperor Hongzhi rejected his suggestion without saying a word.

He said unhappily: "Why are you just making a fuss?"

"Father, this is a serious matter!"

"Now there are fathers and princes in the court, so there is no need for children."

"My son is willing to go on a patrol on behalf of the heavens and inspect the border."

"Why is this not good?"
