162 Viewing the Politics (two-in-one)(2/2)
"Since Yesen's father Tuhuan started to unify the various tribes of Mongolian Weila. Now not only has the Wassai tribe completed the unification, but even the Tatar tribe is under Yesian's control."
"I went to Yansui, Ningxia and Gansu to inspect the borders last year and found that the army of the first troops were constantly attacking the east, and may be suspected of annexing the three guards of Urianha. If the Northern Frontier Tartars were allowed to become bigger, they would restore the strength of the Northern Yuan Dynasty that year!"
If Zhu Qizhen, the "Ming Dynasty God of War" was called a joke in later generations, then Wang Ji can be regarded as the true Ming Dynasty God of War during the Orthodox dynasty.
From north to south, from Mongolian Tatars to Burmese chieftains, it can be said that Wang Ji was a civil servant, but he fought endlessly throughout his life.
In terms of military war experience, I am afraid that in the court, there are only a few military generals, Xunqi, such as Zhu Yong, Duke of Chengguo, and Duke of Britain, who can compare with him.
His original intention was to remind the emperor and his ministers to pay attention to Washiyesen, but he did not expect that it would become an alarmist in everyone's ears!
"So what about the Northern Yuan Dynasty? It was not a battle with the late emperors of all dynasties. Now our Ming Dynasty is strong and our troops are strong, and it is not worth fearing that the only Wasan tribe is!"
Ma Ang, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, stood up and refuted Wang Ji's words.
This Ma Ang was not a pure civil official. He started his career in the Honglu Temple and later became the censor of the Censor to go to the Governor of Xuanda to prepare military preparations.
Later, he was transferred to the right deputy chief censor and counseled military affairs in Gansu. He then joined the left chief censor and served as the governor of Shaanxi, in charge of military affairs and fought with Mongolian ministries.
He believed that all the Mongolian tribes were all croakers, and they were just small-scale play. If the Ming Dynasty became serious and crushed them casually, Wang Ji had fought for so many years, so why did he become less and less courageous?
"What Mr. Ma said is reasonable, and the Wasan tribe was very respectful to our Ming Dynasty and came to pay tribute on time every year. If we conquer the Wasan tribe because of the family affairs of Hami, we would conquer the Wasan tribe, which would cause trouble for the people and money."
"I believe that sanctification should be promoted so that it can be appreciated by Yu Shun's virtue!"
Zhang Rui, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, also stood up, believing that we should not make a big move, but should educate the barbarians as the main force.
As soon as these words were spoken, the civil officials present nodded in agreement.
Because the previous two Luchuan battles almost wiped out the national treasury, and the labor force went to the border areas, and the benefits were very small.
In the war, a group of civil officials opposed it. Now, the battle between Luchuan has been fought twice, and it has not been fought yet, and the anti-war has become the mainstream.
The reasons for refuting these two ministers actually represent the two most mainstream views of the Ming Dynasty today.
First, I think that the barbarians on the border are not afraid of it, and I can take care of it whenever I want it, and there is no need to pay too much attention.
Another type is to follow the kingly teachings, and to follow the ancient and ancient ancestors, thinking about influencing the other party. It is believed that as long as the barbarians on the border know culture and education, they will naturally understand the reason and will not have any disputes again.
Wang Ji was full of helplessness when he listened to the rebuttals of the ministers. These people were all civil officials in the inner court of the court. They had never served on the frontier and had no idea what was going on in the frontier.
If you follow the script and do not offer advice according to the actual situation, if you continue to appease this way, the Wasan tribe may become a big problem!
Of course, there were also officials who had worked in the frontier who stood up to help Wang Ji speak. However, the number of people was too small, and the voice was completely overwhelmed by the Beijing officials.
Chen Yichen listened to the defense of both sides. He knew what the direction of history was, and he would eventually become a big problem.
But at this moment, the Ming Dynasty was at its peak, and the officials all had the mentality of "the country of heaven and the country" in their hearts, and they did not take the Mongolian tribes seriously at all.
Even when the Tumu Fort Incident, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen, dared to do such a random war, and he also had this mentality. He was also worth fighting with himself. The 200,000 troops were tied and won without losing.
It turned out to be a mess...
Chen Yichen is currently only an intern and has no qualifications to speak in politics. Even if he can speak, what can a person's slightest words change?
Thinking of this, Chen Yichen couldn't help but sigh. The only lesson that mankind has learned from history is that he has not learned any lessons from history.
After experiencing powerful enemies from the north such as the Huns, Turks, Mongolia, etc., I still can't figure out the signs of unification of the grassland tribe. What will happen later?
Maybe Chen Yichen's sigh was a little obvious, or maybe Zhu Qizhen happened to pay attention to him.
After seeing this scene, Zhu Qizhen asked, "Aiqing Chen, what do you think of the Wastu Tribe?"
When the emperor actually asked about a chick in the officialdom, the expressions on the ministers' faces were not envious or shocked, but showed a kind of contempt.
Even the government office has not officially entered, what opinions can be expressed on major affairs of the court?
The emperor loved Chen Yichen so much, and he might have cultivated a powerful minister like Wang Zhen, which would even harm more than Wang Zhen!
What do I think?
Chen Yichen also had troubles when facing Zhu Qizhen's problems. On the premise that the court officials were about to reach a consensus, what opinions could they express and who would support them after they made a statement?
Moreover, in the eyes of court officials, he may not even know where the Watanabe tribe is, so he is also worthy of making a big fuss?
Zhu Yong, Duke Cheng Guo, who was standing in the front row, turned around and looked at Chen Yichen, shook his head gently at him, and signaled not to say much.
Whether it is support or opposition, it is not something he can participate in at the moment of his current identity and qualifications. If you are smart, just use the excuse of "I dare not speak nonsense."
Shut up and protect yourself?
For some reason, Chen Yichen felt a little sighed in his heart.
I had such a lofty ambition that I had ever wanted to take the peak of power in the court, and then protect the people of the world and create a peaceful and prosperous era.
As a result, on the first day of court, I didn’t even dare to say anything. I integrated into the officialdom very quickly...
This posture also wants to become an evil dragon, but it is not even worthy of the start of a dragon slaying boy.
Seeing Chen Yichen not speaking, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen also understood that such important matters of the government were not something that the new top scholar could participate in. It was really a bit too hasty to train his loyal ministers.
Just when Zhu Qizhen thought Chen Yichen would not express his opinions directly, Chen Yichen bowed and said, "Reporting to the emperor, I agree with Jingyuan Bo's opinion. The Wasat tribe also had the intention of being unofficial. If you don't take any precautions in advance, it may become a disaster!"
In his position, he should do his own affairs, and he should fulfill his responsibilities!
It is easy to protect yourself, but it is easier to pretend to be deaf and dumb, but it is precisely because of too many such officials in the Ming Dynasty that the land of China eventually fell.
Chen Yichen understands that changing the giant ship of history is not something that can happen overnight, and it may even be impossible to change anything in the end.
But for the 200,000 soldiers and millions of soldiers and civilians in the Ming Dynasty’s Tumu Fortress, if I dare not even say anything with Wang Ji today, then I will definitely forget my original intention in the future.
