The court meeting was over, and it was open to outsiders. Naturally, no confidential and important matters were discussed. The ministers retired and only the cabinet officials, Ma Bao and other senior generals were left, and then they began to discuss confidential matters.
"The Hetao area looks south to Guanzhong and the Central Plains. It is located at a commanding height. It is actually an important area for military strategists. If we want to ensure the security of the Guanzhong and Central Plains areas, our army must occupy it."
"The Hetao area is thousands of miles apart. Its soil is fertile and can be cultivated. It is difficult for enemies to enter from three sides, but it can be defended in a face-to-face battle."
"Shaanxi is the one who controls the upper reaches of the world and controls the destiny of the world. Shaanxi is in the world. It is the first thing in the world. If the trouble is in the first place, it will lead to death."
"The Hetao looks south to Guanzhong, and is the leader of the world. Those who gain the Hetao will travel all over the world, and those who lose the Hetao will lose the world. If the Hetao is safe, the world will be safe. If the Hetao is chaotic, the world will be chaotic."
"The Tartars have not been destroyed. Our army is fighting on two fronts, and I am afraid that we are not strong enough to stop them."
"The Chahar tribe rebelled against the Qing Dynasty. There is little pressure on the border walls such as Datong, Zhangjiakou, and Zunhua. They can mobilize their troops at the right time and capture the Hetao first. Or they can concentrate their forces and wipe out the Tartars in one fell swoop."
"Money and food are not enough, so the northwest offensive can be postponed. Since the captive envoys are sincere about asking for pot and cloth, they can first allow for market changes and make peace for the time being. This will benefit both China and Yi."
Everyone expressed their opinions, and the cabinet ministers and generals such as Ma Bao expressed their opinions one after another from their respective perspectives and departments.
As far as the current situation is concerned, even if there is no increase in troops, the Northwest Military Region has a good chance of winning if it only attacks the Urad tribe. Zhu Yongxing does not have to eliminate the Urad tribe, as long as the Daning (Inner Mongolia) region of the early Ming Dynasty is restored
Ningcheng County, Chifeng City), Dongsheng (Ordos Region, Inner Mongolia), Kaiping (Duolun, Inner Mongolia) and other guard posts control part of the defense of the Hetao. He can be temporarily satisfied.
Daning and Kaiping are not suitable for occupation at the moment, because they are the nomadic areas of the Chahar tribe. There is no threat, and Zhu Yongxing does not want to lose this anti-Qing ally.
In this way, only Dongsheng is left. The northwest Ming army has regained Yulin and is very close to Dongsheng (Ordos region of Inner Mongolia). But looking at the overall situation, if the war starts again in the northwest because of this, it will be very long.
If the decision is delayed, fighting on two fronts will indeed put great pressure on the finances.
Thinking more deeply, although the Urad tribe is not strong, it is one of the members of the Ulanqab League. If they take action against it, the Siziwang tribe, Maoming'an tribe, and Kagome tribe of the Ulanqab League will
How did members of the Erkha Right Tribe (i.e. Darhan Banner) react?
"The original strategy was to use money and grain from Sichuan and Hunan to supply Gansu and Shaanxi. Before this year's harvest, the Northwest Military Region did not have the conditions to fight a big war or a protracted war." After listening to the opinions of the ministers, Zhu Yongxing said thoughtfully: "Maybe
The attack is a bit reluctant, but the defense should be no problem. Almost all Mongolian tribes require market exchanges, can we make an issue based on this? If we open a border city in Dongsheng, can our army take it without a fight? "
Zhu Yongxing's meaning was very clear. He did not want a large-scale war in the northwest, but victory in the east was the cornerstone of entering the Hetao. If the Ural tribe could be lured out through mutual trade, it would naturally be the best thing.
"Long live, the imperial court can send out eloquent lobbyists to divide and disintegrate the Ulanqab League. The Ural tribe will be difficult to support alone." When it comes to strategic issues, Ma Bao has obviously studied the situation of the Mongolian tribes, so
The suggestion made Zhu Yongxing frown.
"As a lobbyist, I think it is more appropriate to call him a diplomat." Zhu Yongxing smiled and said: "The Ulanqab League is just one of them. The Mongolian tribes in Monan, Mobei, and Moxi all have to contact, win over, or select.
, either support it, or suppress it, or use the market to lure it, or use the military to suppress it, it is best to make Northern Xinjiang peaceful and try its best to use it for me." As he said, he turned his inquiring gaze to Ye, the Minister of the Ministry of National Security.
Tiger.
"Long live the Qiuzou." Ye Hu bowed and replied: "The Beijing Intelligence Station has been in the North for the longest time. It has also built Datong, Zhangjiakou and other substations. Wu Laodao, Yang Qilong and others are all smart people and can use it."
Zhu Yongxing pondered for a moment and said: "Walking in the desert of Mongolia is quite inconvenient for Han people. It seems more suitable for a lama."
"Long live this, it's not that difficult." Ye Hu said with a smile: "It's not just a day for the Ministry of State to select and train Mongolian prisoners from previous battles and send them to lurk. At this time, they can send out all of them. In addition, Han people disguised as lamas are also
OK."
"Well, the reward must be generous, and it must make them admire our Ming Dynasty and be proud of being a citizen of the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Yongxing warned and said: "Draw up a complete plan and submit it to me."
"Yes, I obey the order."
"Give Annan a heavier reward to make them feel that nothing will happen for the time being." Zhu Yongxing turned to Chen Shaoyu, the Minister of Rites, "The officials below don't need to know this, you just need to know."
"Yes, I will definitely not leak the news here."
The noisy march north to Dingdu was a smoke screen for the Annan Zheng family. With the strategic center of gravity moving northward, the Annan Zheng family probably didn't expect that the Ming army would attack him soon.
"Well, there doesn't seem to be any decent cities outside the Great Wall, right?" Zhu Yongxing stroked his chin thoughtfully, and all the ministers were stunned by his leaping thinking, "I want to help them build a few big cities, what do you think?
, is this necessary?”
"The state's finances are tight, and large-scale construction projects should be given to foreigners. I'm afraid--" Yicheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, hurriedly remonstrated.
Ma Bao, Ye Hu and a few others were thoughtful, knowing that this idea was not simple and difficult to think through, so they did not speak easily.
"Haha, it's not like we're going to build it right away." Zhu Yongxing smiled, waved his hand, and said meaningfully: "The city looks majestic, and it's comfortable to live in. If Donglu is a wolf, it's hard to fight when he's running around.
.It would be easier if it were circled. As for attacking the city, our army still has enough means. If the city is repaired and attacked, our army can gather and annihilate it; conversely, if it is defended, it will be a strong barrier. Hmm
, not only are we building it for them, but we are also building it for ourselves.”
"Your Majesty is wise." Ye Hu's eyes lit up and he was the first to compliment: "The difficulty in defeating the nomads is wandering. If they settle down permanently, how can they stand a chance against our army?"
"This is a great plan." Ma Bao nodded with a smile and said: "There was Guihua City before the decent city outside the Great Wall, but it has been destroyed by the war. If the imperial court helps rebuild it, Donglu will be grateful. If there is a war,
This city is not only the place where the Eastern captives were defeated, but it is also a solid base for me to store food and gather troops. It is really the best of both worlds."
"This is just a suggestion. Just let some news out first." Zhu Yongxing was very proud. If Guihua City (now Hohhot) is built, it will be occupied by the Ming army sooner or later. Helping them build it is essentially building it for yourself.
No loss at all.
This is the difference in the length of vision, and the difference in opinions based on whether the ideal is lofty or not. Many people will be satisfied with the current territory. But Zhu Yongxing is different. I want to take back what I have, and I want to take back what's yours.
Of course, this is a relatively long-term plan. Zhu Yongxing will not tighten his belt now and will immediately go to help Donglu build the city. Moreover, building the city is not just a matter for the Ming Dynasty. The Mongolian tribes must have the manpower.
Provide some material resources, it seems that you can get a big city at a small cost, but in the end it helps the Ming Dynasty build a base for advancement.
"Long Live the Forbidden City, I think that the Forbidden City is majestic, majestic, and solemn. Long Live the Emperor is the true Dragon Emperor. He should live in the Purple Palace. If he governs with virtue, he will be naturalized from all directions and will come to court from all directions. The country will be consolidated forever." Dali Temple
Zhengqing Guo Zhiqi bowed and played.
Oh, Zhu Yongxing was stunned. It was already confirmed that he would temporarily live in Zhongnanhai. Why did old Guo Tou change his mind again?
"Long live." Guo Zhiqi saw that Zhu Yongxing was deep in thought and hurriedly added: "The Forbidden City in Da Nei has been the place where emperors feasted and lived for hundreds of years. There are indeed people who were killed unjustly. However, the ancient houses and palaces that have been built for hundreds of years have no negative energy.
?Invite monks and Taoists to build water and land dojos, and there will be no hindrance to transcendence and transcendence."
"I'm not afraid of any negative energy or hostility." Zhu Yongxing smiled, patted the Xumi throne, and said: "It's too big to live in comfortably. The current financial situation is tight. How many palace people are needed to live here? It's too wasteful.
Yes. Well, let’s keep things as they are for now, and we’ll talk about it later. Well, I’m a little tired. If there’s nothing else to do, I’ll leave the court.”
Guo Zhiqi reluctantly bowed and left together with the other ministers.

Zhongnanhai is the collective name of Zhonghai and Nanhai. It is located on the west side of the Forbidden City and south of Aoyu Bridge. It covers an area of about 1,500 acres, of which 700 acres are water surface. Formerly known as Xiyuan, in ancient times, Zhongnanhai has been the property of feudal emperors of all dynasties.
A place for palaces and banquets.
The final shape of the building complexes in Zhongnanhai and Beihai began in the Ming Dynasty. After Ming Dynasty Emperor Chengzu established his capital in Beijing, the Ming Dynasty palaces moved southward based on the location of the Yuan Dynasty palaces, so the imperial city walls also moved southward to enrich the imperial city gardens.
For the landscape, the Nanhai was excavated, and the excavated earth and the earth excavated from the Tongzi River were piled up to form Long Live Mountain (i.e. Jingshan).
There are many buildings in Zhongnanhai, the most famous one is Ziguang Pavilion: located in the north of the west bank of Zhonghai, the pavilion is two stories high, seven bays wide, with a single eaves verandah roof, yellow-trimmed green glazed tiles, and five rolling sheds in front to rest on the top of the building.
There is Wucheng Hall behind Ziguang Pavilion; there is Wanshan Hall on the east bank of Zhonghai, which was called Jiaoyuan in the Ming Dynasty and was originally called Chongzhi Hall; behind Wanshan Hall there is Qiansheng Hall, and Shuiyun Pavilion is located to the west of Wanshan Hall and is a pavilion on the water.
Nanhai is located to the south of Zhonghai, with Centipede Bridge as the boundary. Most of the main buildings are concentrated in Yingtai. Yingtai was called "Nantai" in the Ming Dynasty. There was a stone bridge to the north connected to the shore. To the south of the bridge was Renyao Gate and to the south of the gate was Xiangluan. There are seven pavilions in the main hall and nineteen rooms in the left and right extension buildings; further south is the Hanyuan Gate, and inside is the Hanyuan Hall, the main building of Yingtai. There are two auxiliary halls in the north of the Hanyuan Hall, the Qingyun Hall in the east and the Jingxing Hall in the west. The buildings on both sides of the south side of the hall are Zaoyun Tower in the east, Qisi Tower in the west, and Taiyue Xuan and Jingguang Pavilion in the northeast.
It is both a residence and a garden, with mountains and water, and a broad view. Zhu Yongxing liked this architectural style. Although the Forbidden City is majestic and grand, it has many palaces and towers, which lacks a fresh and relaxed feeling.
