Chapter 1140

Most of the people who can come here are civil servants. They either rely on articles, family shadow, or some shady means. But no matter how they enter the court, most of them have a common characteristic, that is, they can speak but not do.

It is undeniable that Confucianism can indeed teach people to be good, change the wildness in one's heart, and have such and such benefits. But the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, some things are too obedient to the rules, and over time will only make them complacent.

It's like moving a mouth to say that they dare to comment on everything. Even some upright people dare to criticize the emperor. But once it comes to practicing, they really can't.

This is not to say that they have no ability, but because the two sides are at war, and the other party will not listen to you. If you don't agree with each other, you can draw a sword at each other. This is not comparable to these literati who are good at writing Confucianism.

If you have self-knowledge, know that one aspect is not good, and still insist on standing up, it is not a responsibility, but a show of ability. What you say is a little ugly, it is no different from looking for death. Just like the change of the civil castle in those years, how many literary ministers died in the northern Ming Dynasty. There are many real talents and learning, but in the face of the fierce Warsaw cavalry, did their eloquent mouths really play any role?

No,

With the last thing, this time the hall became much quieter. For a time, Zhu Qiyu, who was originally full of hope, suddenly became very ugly.

Just now I saw what everyone said was so lively. I thought I had already thought of countermeasures, but now it seems that this is not the case at all. Glancing over from Wenchen group, he naturally fell to one side, the military general group with a small number of people.

When it comes to specific things, especially when leading soldiers to fight, it still depends on the generals.

To Zhu Qiyu's disappointment, none of the generals who were born in martial arts took the initiative to stand up at this moment. They were all thinking with their heads down, as if there were something good to attract under their feet.

The Ming Dynasty has a long history of emphasizing literature and neglecting martial arts, which can not be changed in a moment. Although the identity and status of military generals have been improved due to changes in the current situation, there is still a big gap between the two sides.

Let's make a simple analogy. What is the most important thing in war?

Some people may say about the morale of the army, some people may say about the military courage of the general, others may say whether it is a just war, and some people will talk about the weather, geography, people and so on. But what really matters is logistics.

That is, the supply of grain, grass, weapons and baggage.

Think about it, in an army that can fight, if you can't eat and have a stick in your hand, how can you fight your opponent and bite your teeth? Are you good at tearing it?

There is a saying that war is money.

The logistics supply of the army has the final say of those civil servants. This is equivalent to being held down by someone. If you want to play alone, how can you win the war?

It's like 70000 Liaodong iron cavalry. Why do they develop so rapidly and why are they so elite that they are afraid of even the five-star army in Shicheng? It's just that they have sufficient autonomy. They can beat grain and grass on the grassland like Mongolian cavalry. They can grab good things when they see them, which makes them stronger and stronger.

It is impossible to send troops to Liaodong without taboos. It is conceivable that whoever leads the troops will be robbed of the head of logistics supply, which involves great interests. Whoever has an advantage will get countless benefits.

Once the war is won, these people will get credit in addition to the benefits of their hands. If the war is defeated, it has nothing to do with them, and the responsibility will fall on the leaders and generals.

After such a comparison, it is no wonder that the generals are unwilling to stand up and bear the responsibilities that originally belong to them. Not to mention, the opponent of this war is the king of Wunan. He has the title of military God. Isn't it so easy to deal with?

The generals were silent, and Zhu Qiyu was angry. Without waiting for him to say something, the civilian group on one side has launched an attack first. Perhaps they also feel that the contrast between the past and the present is too big. They are afraid that the emperor will be angry with himself. Therefore, they will speak mercilessly this moment. It will be as ugly as it is.

"What's the matter? Aren't you military generals? Your duty is to fight and kill the enemy, even if it's to wrap up your body. This is your destiny."

"Yes, isn't it your duty to send troops to war? Why are you afraid of death now?"

"It's really disappointing that none of you dare to fight. No wonder King Wunan is so arrogant. It's all caused by you useless guys."

"You guys who don't have eggs really don't do anything in their position. It's really looked down upon."

"Yes, yes, it's disappointing... The imperial court spent so much money to support you."

The sound of accusations was one after another. It seemed that if you didn't step on two feet, you couldn't show your justice. In just a short time, the faces of those generals were red, like monkey butts. Some of them were thin skinned. Now they want to find a ground seam to drill in.

This really corresponds to that sentence. Those who watch the excitement are not afraid of big things.

Facing the accusations of the whole civil service group, one of the generals, Li Tong, finally couldn't help it. As a second-class military general in the court, he naturally has his personal pride. In particular, the status of the current military general is improving step by step, which makes him very optimistic about the future.

He has also told other generals in private more than once that the spring of the military general is coming.

But now, the goal has not been achieved. He is really angry to be so slandered. He also saw that other generals and colleagues were dodging. In the face of those masters of civil servants, they didn't even dare to fart. In his anger, he stepped forward, "emperor, I'd like to lead the troops, but I have a request."

Finally someone was willing to take the initiative to stand up. Zhu Qiyu was naturally very happy in his heart. When he looked at him, his eyes became a lot kinder. "Oh, General Li, I don't know what you want. You might as well tell me."

"Minister, I hope the officials I identified will take charge of the food and grass, so..."

Li Tong boldly made a request. When he was about to continue, he didn't think that he had just started, and the civil service group had already exploded, "how is this possible?"

"It's against the rules."

"So is it not all your military has the final say? Once you have a heart of disease, how can you control it?"

"It's absolutely impossible. Something really happened. It's a big event. It's much more dangerous than that in Liaodong."

"Yes, yes, absolutely not."

The voice of discussion rose again, followed by a group attack. Li Tong, who was not good at words, was immediately submerged in the ocean of language attacks.

This time, not only the civil servants did not agree, but also the Emperor Zhu Qiyu would not agree.

As an emperor, a monarch, how to control the troops below is not shown from eating, drinking and Lazar? If the generals are given too much power, who knows if they will promote some people's ambition and do something unfavorable to themselves?

If so, he will lose a lot. No emperor would agree to such a dangerous thing, let alone Zhu Qiyu, who was originally a strong superior. Perhaps it was because he was not on the right path, so he was very afraid that someone would threaten him, and it was even more impossible for Li Tong to agree to his request.

Shaking his head, Zhu Qiyu said in an unquestionable tone, "General Li, you have heard everyone's reaction. I can't promise this."

Zhu Qiyu said this, which was tantamount to setting the tone for the situation. Li Tong knew that it was useless to say more. But he had stood up, and now it was impossible to return, so he had to hug his fist and say, "that's it. Everything is decided by the emperor, and the minister is only responsible for leading the army to fight."

Li Tong was forced to fight. When no other generals took the initiative, Zhu Qiyu finally appointed him as the leader general and pulled out 200000 troops, including 50000 veterans and 150000 recruits. He ordered him to be ready within seven days and send troops to support Liaodong.

It seems that it is for the sake of reassuring Li Tong. At the court meeting, Zhu Qiyu specially told the ministers that no matter who is in charge of logistics, General Li should not be embarrassed and should do his best to cooperate.

The ministers naturally agreed, but no one can know what the facts will be.

Xu Youzhen, the crown prince's young Fu, the great scholar and the Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment, did not say anything from beginning to end. Instead, she kept looking on coldly and laughing in her heart. Before sending troops, General Li Tong has already aroused the dissatisfaction of the civil service group. Li can even imagine that it would be strange if he was not targeted.

If we do not do so, how will the tone of distrust of the civil service group come out? It seems that the outcome of this battle has come out before the war. Alas, is Daming really going to run out?

......

Hu Fu.

Hu Zhen, the Minister of rites, has not been in court for a while, although he still has the title of minister. Everything is because the relationship between Beiming and Wunan Wang has changed greatly, which makes his status and situation as Yang Chendong's father-in-law very embarrassing.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble and less targeted, Hu Zhen complained that he was ill at home. Not only that, other Hu family members were also ordered not to go out at home and keep a low profile as much as possible.
