Volume Two, Chapter 92, Pride Soldiers Will Fail

The name Hui'an Hou is indeed good, but Yang Cong couldn't get better after seeing the memorial.

Jiajing was indeed very interesting this time, so he rewarded him as a marquis. Moreover, other meritorious ministers were promoted as rewards, but the other contents in the imperial edict were a bit fucked.

The strategy of recapturing the Western Talks was actually rejected. Jiajing meant that the court could not afford such a protracted war. Moreover, the war in the Northwest had already made the court's finances tight. Jiajing also asked him to immediately disarmament and dismiss the Northwest border to 60,000, and each border town would be 10,000!

Yang Cong was sure that this was not Jiajing's meaning, but Yan Song's meaning!

What's wrong with the court's finances?

This is normal.

What's wrong with everyone tightening their belts to live?

This is also normal.

Sometimes, this is how war is. It is normal to use the whole country's strength to support it and cause temporary difficulties.

However, after the war, it will be better, and it will even be better than before the war.

Just like this time, if the Western Talks are regained, the Tartars will have no place to reproduce and survive, and there will be no place to reproduce and survive. The Tartars will inevitably slowly decline. When the Tartars decline, the northwest border troubles of the Ming Dynasty will be completely solved. There is no need to spend a lot of money to maintain a huge border army in the future.

This account is easy to calculate. If you are a little cruel, tighten your belt and wait for a few years, you will be able to rest assured in the future. It is not a problem to save hundreds of thousands or even millions of taels a year. It is obvious whether you lose or make a profit.

Will Jiajing not understand this?

If he can't figure this out, he will be a fool.

The key problem is that some people don’t let him think so, or some people deliberately mislead him to think in another direction.

This fool is too easy to fool, what should I do?

Will you really stop and lay off the border troops?

Yang Cong really doesn't want to miss this opportunity. As the saying goes, "One moves, one more time, another less time, and three more time," at this time, morale is in full swing. If you don't take the opportunity to recover the Western tactics and waste a few more years, who knows what will happen then?

He thought about it, but he still wrote a memorial and fought for it.

Of course, he did not say that he wanted to resist the order but did not obey it. He just analyzed the situation in the northwest in detail and discussed the benefits of sending troops now.

In this memorial, he also used some exaggerated techniques to fool Jiajing.

For example, this time the main force of the Tartars actually suffered no losses, but he exaggeratedly said that the Tartars suffered heavy casualties and were unable to recover in just a few years.

For example, the Tatar tribe had actually been thriving in the Xitaku region for many years, but he said that the Tatars fled in a panic, with strange people and land, and they could not settle down in just a few years.

In short, what he meant was that this was the best time to send troops. If you missed this opportunity, you didn’t know when you would have to wait.

Yan Song couldn't help but sneer when he received the memorial.

No matter what Tartars or when the timing, he just cares whether it is beneficial to himself or not.

Yang Cong continued to rule the northwest, which was obviously extremely unfavorable to him. If Yang Cong recovered the Western tactics in one fell swoop and beat the Tartars to the point of urination, that would be another great achievement. Not to mention what rewards Yang Cong would receive, the confidants under Yang Cong would be extremely awesome.

This time, the people who Yang Cong deliberately promoted were all promoted. If they were allowed to make great contributions, they would all jump to the high positions of the Six Ministers and even the Six Ministers. If they were really allowed to jump up, that would be fine. The court would not be the world of Yang Cong!

So, no matter what, Yang Cong can no longer make contributions.

So, how can you fool Jiajing and prevent him from agreeing to Yang Cong to recover the Western Talk?

This is actually not difficult. He thought about it, and then picked up the pen and left four words on the ticket plan, "A arrogant soldier will be defeated"!

Sometimes, curiosity can not only kill cats, but also make people fall into other people's traps inadvertently.

When Jiajing saw the memorial, he was indeed curious.

Yang Cong said that the timing is so good, it is so good that it cannot be better. Why did Yan Song "a arrogant soldier lose"?

He couldn't figure out where Yang Cong was proud. Yang Cong was not that kind of person. What was going on?

He could only ask Yan Song to find out what was going on.

Yan Song was so proud of himself, Jiajing, it was so easy to fool.

He responded to the call, respectfully performed the rituals of the king and the ministers, and did not rush to speak, and just stood there, as if he knew nothing.

Jiajing was indeed even more curious. What does Yan Song mean?

He couldn't help asking, "Which, what does it mean to write about your vote that arrogance will definitely be defeated? Qingfeng is not the kind of person who underestimates the enemy and advances rashly, right?"

Of course Yang Cong is not that kind of person, but you are too easy to fool!

Yan Song said calmly: "Your Majesty, I'm brave enough to ask, after reading Lord Yang's memorial, what do you think? Do you feel that the Tartars are vulnerable?"

Jiajing looked at the memorial and nodded slowly and said, "Yes, they were killed and injured and fled to the Western Talk in a panic, which should be vulnerable."

Yan Song still said calmly: "Your Majesty, I will ask again, is the strength shown by the Tartars over the past hundred years really vulnerable? If the Tartars are really vulnerable, wouldn't they have been destroyed by our Ming Dynasty long ago!"

When Jiajing heard this, he was stunned.

Yes, if the Tartars are really vulnerable, how could they be rampant for so long?

He was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "What do you mean, this time, Qingfeng really underestimated the enemy?"

Unexpectedly, Yan Song shook his head and said, "I dare not slander Lord Yang like this. Although I am not in the northwest, I can still imagine that Lord Yang cannot underestimate the enemy. What he said should be true."

ah!

When Jiajing heard this, he was stunned again. What does this Yan Song mean?

He was stunned for a while, and then he said curiously: "Then why do you say that a arrogant soldier will be defeated?"

Yan Song explained calmly: "Your Majesty, this arrogant soldier is not necessarily arrogance. Many times, the enemy uses fraud, which makes you have an illusion that the enemy is vulnerable. This is the commonly used strategy of arrogance. Lord Yang is a confusing person in the authorities because he did fight with the Tartars, and the Tartars are indeed vulnerable. The Wei minister is a bystander, because he sees it as the previous performance of the Tartars. Judging from the previous performance of the Tartars, it is impossible for the Tartars to be so vulnerable. So, why did Lord Yang think that the Tartars are vulnerable? I think there is only one reason, that is, the Tartars are using the strategy of arrogance of the Tartars to deliberately attract Lord Yang to the bait."

This foolish look very reasonable, and Jiajing was stunned by the fooling.

He thought for a while, then curiously said, "Will the Tartar give up all the Hetao for the sake of arrogance?"

You guys, are you smart?

Yan Song thought about it and shook his head and said, "This should be the trade-off of the Tartars. Because the Hetao area is too small, it is not conducive to cavalry raids. They can't defeat our nearly 200,000 troops in Hetao. But the Xitao is different. Xitao is connected to the south of the desert. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as vast and boundless. It is extremely conducive to the cavalry's performance. Lord Yang covered his head and rushed in. The Tartars wanted to raid him. Perhaps, this is the reason why the Tartars withdrew from Hetao. They want to lead Lord Yang to Xitao, defeat or even annihilate our main force in one fell swoop, so that they can do whatever they want. Emperor, think about it, what will happen if the more than 100,000 elite border troops under Lord Yang lost in? At that time, let alone Hetao, I'm afraid, even if the Tartars rushed to the capital, we will have no choice but to do anything to them!"

When Jiajing heard this, he was shocked.

If the more than 100,000 elite troops led by Yang Cong were dragged into the Western Tabernacle and destroyed by the Tartars, the Ming Dynasty would probably be in danger of destruction!

Forget it, don't take risks and stop when you see it is better.
