With Yin Jian in his previous life, he didn't want Yu Qian to take on so many things.
Trying to save the world sounds nice, but in fact it is not a good thing for the ministers.
In today's court, there are not many ministers with seniority and high status, but there are some.
Wang Zhi, the Minister of Personnel, and Hu Miao, the Minister of Rites, are veterans of several dynasties.
Faced with this situation, none of them stood up and pushed out Yu Qian, who had just been promoted from the position of Minister. Is it really because of their lack of ability?
The reason is, on the one hand, the fear of improper command and ruin of reputation, and on the other hand, the fear of overachieving and overpowering the master.
In his previous life, the reason why Zhu Qiyu was so trusting and humble.
In addition to trusting his character and ability, it was actually a bit of a last resort.
After all, the situation at that time made the officials in the capital panic and bewildered. Only Yu Qian stood up, advocated a fight to the death, and took the lead in proposing the establishment of a new king.
After that, he oversaw the internal and external defense of the capital, reorganized the regiments and camps, and decided on border policies. With a written order, the generals in various places, no matter how big or small, followed them.
With the help of less than 100,000 old and weak officers and soldiers in the capital, they repelled Yexian's army and saved the capital.
This merit is known to everyone in the world. If it is not reused, it will be unjustifiable.
As the saying goes, the fire cooks the oil, and the flowers bloom the brocade.
Taking too much credit is not a good thing.
So after the restoration of Nangong, when Zhu Qizhen wanted to kill people, the first person he chose was Yu Qian.
For no other reason than because he was too far ahead, Zhu Qizhen would not be able to sit on the throne without killing him.
On the contrary, Wang Zhi and others, who have always been unknown, are enjoying their official career in a peaceful and stable manner.
When in court, the only way to stay safe is to act wisely and protect yourself.
Of course, Zhu Qiyu knew in his heart that Yu Qian was not unaware of his situation.
With his resourcefulness, when he stands up to take charge of the overall situation, he will definitely be aware of the situations he may encounter in the future.
Even if there was no Nangong restoration to kill him, it is very likely that he would not have a good death. After all, since ancient times, those with high achievements shake the master.
But having said that, a person like him, who has a single thought in mind and is not afraid of life or death, will still stand up even if he knows.
In this life, Zhu Qiyu still used Yu Qian in order to win the battle to defend Beijing, but he did not want Yu Qian to be too prominent.
only……
This group of honorable relatives are too incompetent!
Zhao Rong's suggestion is a joke.
In his previous life, Zhu Qiyu handed over the defense of the capital to Yu Qian, but he also felt that at least his relatives were better at fighting, so he listened to them and divided his troops into various passes.
As a result, as soon as they were dispersed, it didn't take long for the army to press forward immediately. The main direction of attack was Zijin, Longmen, Aries and other important passes.
Those small passes were secured, but they were attacked by a large army first, making it difficult to quickly integrate the troops.
These critical passes collapsed one after another under the strong attack, and the army marched straight in, reaching the capital!
So dividing your troops at this time is the real way to seek death!
Frowning his brows, Zhu Qiyu did not comment on their opinions, but opened his mouth to ask Chen Mao beside him.
"Ningyang Marquis, you have guarded the border for many years and know Oala very well. I think Marquis Chen would have a different opinion on the border defense strategy?"
The old Marquis can no longer listen anymore!
The first thing he did when he came back was to read through all the military reports after the Civil War Incident. Naturally, he could realize that Ye Xian had a big plan.
In terms of judgment direction, he and Yu Qian are the same.
Compassion does not command troops!
It would be unwise to send out rangers to harass first, which would certainly make the life of the defender very difficult, but it would be unwise to disrupt one's own border defense arrangements.
Wala doesn't really need these small passes.
There are too many passes in the pass and they are too dense. If one is defeated, it will not be long before Sun An's reinforcements arrive and they will be taken back immediately.
Except for those critical passes, there is no point in conquering other tiles.
So they continued to harass, burned, killed, looted, and then retreated every time they captured, forcing the Ming Dynasty to divide its troops and garrison them.
But dividing the troops at this time is tantamount to tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall.
The old marquis dared to bet that as long as the Ming Dynasty divided its troops on the front foot and the main force on the back foot, they would immediately pounce on them.
When the time comes to retreat and defend, the troops at a single pass will be unable to withstand Ye Xian's main force attack, and several important places such as Zijin and Juyong will be captured, which will be the real disaster.
In the final analysis, it was still the consequence of the Civil War. Without the Civil War, the Ming Dynasty would have had more than 200,000 troops to mobilize, so how could it have encountered this dilemma.
Having Guo Sheng in front of him who didn't understand anything was enough to make the old Marquis feel depressed.
This Zhao Rong looks useful, but in fact he is still a fool!
With a dark face, Chen Mao stood up and bowed, saying.
"Your Majesty, it is definitely not feasible to divide the troops, but the inability of the border generals to defend the city will inevitably destabilize people's hearts, and it is not a long-term solution. What our army needs at this moment is not only more troops to garrison, but more importantly, a great victory.
!”
"Therefore, in my opinion, the 30,000 troops led by Sun An do not need to be divided. Instead, they can choose brave generals and lead 5,000 partial troops to attack the Oara tribe, plunder their cattle and sheep, and destroy their tribes, tooth for tooth, eye for eye.
Killing its people can also boost the morale of the army, and it can also destabilize the Oara army and make them unprepared!"
"At the same time, in order to stabilize the hearts of the generals, we can strengthen the walls and clear the fields at each pass, abandon some unimportant passes, and merge defenses at every two or three passes. In this way, the shortage of troops can be solved, and the bandits will mainly focus on plundering. If they encounter an empty city,
We can only return in despair. If we take advantage of this opportunity to dispatch the army first, we can order Sun An to lead the army to quickly reinforce us."
The old Marquis said with such murderous intent that all the officials in the palace were speechless.
It should be said that before this battle, the relationship between Wala and Daming was still good.
Although there are constant small-scale frictions, as a Mongolian tribe that officially paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty, the overall relationship is still good.
On the contrary, there were frequent fights among Walas themselves over water sources, pastures, and other reasons.
For this reason, there are many small tribes in Oara who are constantly migrating into the Ming Dynasty.
For these small tribes, there are many benefits to moving inward.
First of all, near the border of the Ming Dynasty, there are many places with abundant water and grass, which are good pastures for the nomadic people.
Secondly, although the Ming Dynasty has not opened up mutual markets, there are still many merchants who are willing to take risks and trade across the border. However, they have to cross hundreds of miles of borders, and the Ming army will patrol irregularly, so they often do not go too deep.
.
Relocating tribes near the border will make it much easier to trade secretly.
In addition, every autumn and winter, or when tribes lose in wars with each other and are short of resources, these tribes will organize their young men to secretly cross the border and plunder the villages and towns of the Ming Dynasty.
Since the Ming Dynasty and Wala were still in a period of peace, both sides tacitly ignored this small-scale robbery.
Of course, this works both ways, that is, Ming Dynasty will not go to Wala for theory because of being robbed, but if it encounters patrolling officers and soldiers during the robbery, they are killed on the spot, or they are beaten on the spot by the militia organized by the local people.
Death, Wala also admits his defeat.
Over time, there were actually many small Oara tribes thriving on the borders of the Ming Dynasty.
The meaning of the old marquis is very simple. If they rob the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will rob them. Not only will they rob them, but they will also directly destroy their tribe and teach Wala a lesson.
Of course, this approach was contrary to the ideals of the saints, so some ministers immediately stood up to oppose it.
"What Marquis Chen said is wrong. How can we, a country of great Ming etiquette, behave the same as the thieves?"
The speaker was cabinet minister Chen Xun. He was from the Hanlin Academy and was very sensitive to this kind of thing.
Facing Chen Xun's questioning, Mr. Chen Laohou remained very calm and said.
"You might as well tell the people on the border who have been plundered all year round. This method was not invented by me. The government and the army have already used it."
"What's more, our country, the Ming Dynasty, is now in a state of hostility. When the two armies are fighting, naturally we will use whatever method is effective. Etiquette, law, and justice have no application on the battlefield!"
This is true. The Ming Dynasty has not completely lost its bravery.
The common people at the border gates, Minzhuang, after being robbed, would ask for the location of the tribe if they were caught alive, go there at night, and beat, smash, burn, and loot the same.
Not only the common people, but also many border generals often took off their military uniforms to do this kind of thing.
It's just that at most they just plundered some things, they didn't show it to the public, and they weren't as ruthless as the old marquis said.
However, when one end is pressed down, the other end floats up again.
Chen Yi, the censor of Zuodu, stepped forward and said.
"Of course there is some truth to what Chen Hou said. If our passes are combined for defense, there will inevitably be loopholes in the original defense network."
"What's more, the situation is extremely critical now. We, the Ming Dynasty, do not have the upper hand. Even if a war eventually breaks out, as long as we can start the war one day later, we will be more prepared."
"If you rush to do this dangerous thing and plunder the tribes, if you are angry, firstly, it will damage the etiquette of our country. Secondly, if we immediately raise troops because of this, it will not be a good thing for our Ming Dynasty."
