Chapter 67 It's a pity to be a daughter

"Your Highness, I have something to offer."

Zhu Houzhao could actually guess what it was.

Wang Yue took it out from his arms, and it was exactly what he had explained in the previous letter.

"This book was written quickly because I spent my whole life fighting against the Tatars in the northwest, and all the situations are in my mind. In accordance with His Majesty's will, this "Northwestern War Chronicle" is specially dedicated to His Majesty."

This is a good thing.

Although Wang Yue could win the battle, according to historical records, he was actually... almost the same.

But after being idle for fifteen years, this famous general had little chance of bringing out an heir. His eldest son and second son Wang Chun and Wang Shi were not particularly capable people. They did not make a name for themselves in the imperial examinations, and they mainly relied on

The old father held official positions in thousands and hundreds of households.

So once he dies, if he wants to gain these experiences again, he will have to accumulate them with blood and fire.

In fact, "reading military books" was a very powerful skill in ancient times, because nowadays there are many illiterates, and with the efficiency of information dissemination, where can I read it? It feels like suddenly getting a book

"Nine Yin Manual" is almost the same.

Zhu Houzhao naturally regarded it as a treasure when he held it in his hand, and now the teaching materials in the academy were also solved.

"This is a good thing. General Wang has made great contributions to the country!"

Wang Yue saw that the prince agreed very much, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, "The merits of the size are not worthy of such a commendation by His Highness."

I was a madman back then, but now I have learned to speak modestly.

"I just have time today. I would like to ask General Wang for a few words. What is the crux of the situation here? How can we solve it once and for all?"

Zhu Houzhao glanced at him and said, "Serve the old general tea."

Since ancient times, ministers have always wanted to have the opportunity to express their thoughts and strategies upwards.

In this way, people will know that you are a talented person and you will have the opportunity to be reused.

Now that the prince took the initiative to ask, Wang Yue certainly had no reason not to answer.

In winter, a sip of warm tea warmed his hands, and it also warmed his heart in the East Palace.

Wang Yue knew that this was an important opportunity, so he thought about it very seriously and said: "Your Highness asked for a way to solve the problem once and for all. Please forgive me for saying it bluntly. All dynasties have been invaded by the northern frontiers. The Huns in the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Turks in the Tang Dynasty, the Turks in the Song Dynasty, and the Qin Dynasty.

At that time, the Khitan... Therefore, if you want to completely eliminate the Tatars, it may be possible for a while, but it will be difficult for a lifetime."

Zhu Houzhao said in his heart, it will not be a problem after only a few hundred years.

"General, you don't have to worry about what happens after you and I die. Don't the kings and generals of future generations have their missions? Just talk about the present."

"What your Highness means...how to defeat the Tatars completely?" Wang Yue understood somewhat.

The Crown Prince does not want a few small victories, nor does he want to exterminate the Tatars, but wants to defeat them until they have no power to resist in the next few decades.

"good."

"If this is the case, there is a way. The Tatar soldiers have only three characteristics: first, these people are naturally good at riding and shooting, which is incomparable to our Mingjun soldiers; second, the Tatars fight for plunder, there is no structure, and they leave after the battle, which is not systematic

The third is that they have no fixed place, and even if the court attacks, it will be difficult to defeat the main force. In view of the above characteristics, the court has always focused on defense. However, I personally believe that if we really want to subdue the Tatars, we also need to have a hammer forged force.

Bring out the best cavalry!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded. It was not an option to defend the city. But raising cavalry was very expensive. Good horses, soldiers, food and grass... these could not be obtained by stealing Li Guang's house.

"I promise the general that given time, the Ming Dynasty must have a cavalry that is good at fighting! The army cannot be without a commander. After the general goes to Gansu, he will also recommend talents to me who know how to fight."

Wang Yue knew that he was getting older and the Ming Dynasty could not rely on him alone, "Yes!"

"Well. Other than that, do you have any other requirements?"

"I want to take someone with me."

"explain."

"Guangning Guard Commander Yang Shangyi."

Zhu Houzhao used his geographical knowledge to think, "Isn't Guangning Guard in the east?"

Wang Yue told the truth: "I have never met Yang Shangyi. However, his ancestor Yang Kun was an old friend of mine. He wrote to me three years ago, saying that his grandson Yang Shangyi was brave and good at fighting and had great strategies. I would like to ask if I have an opportunity in the future."

, I hope I can take care of one or two."

"Is it credible? Could it be that the grandfather prefers his grandson?"

"I know Yang Kun well. Besides, he has more than one heir. I think he can be trusted. Even if he is not a talented person, I am not a mediocre person. Naturally, I will not entrust him with important responsibilities."

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and decided to believe it. If it was false and could not achieve any merit, then he would not be able to be promoted to a high official here and would not delay anything.

If it is true, then it is just a talent picked for free.

Moreover, he asked Wang Yue to make a request, and finally asked the imperial court for a small command post. This was really not a big deal, and it seemed unreasonable to refuse.

"Okay. I promise you. After reporting to Emperor Ming, we will draft an order from the cabinet and transfer this person to the northwest."

"I thank you, Your Highness!"

After this,

Wang Yue left the East Palace with satisfaction.

After leaving the palace, the house his family rented in Beijing was ready, and the servants of the palace welcomed him back at the palace gate.

In fact, it was very tiring to come all the way.

But Wang Yue was in high spirits and went back happily. Not only did he not want to rest, but his two grandsons also had a drink with him!

"I'm very happy today! It happens that I can't drink alcohol after joining the army, so I drank this wine at this time!"

His two grandsons, Wang Bing and Wang Lian, did not dare to go against their grandfather's wishes, so they were naturally very obedient.

Wang Zhi also walked out of the backyard and asked slightly curiously: "What good thing happened to Grandpa? Are you so happy?"

In her memory, the day when the decree was announced was almost the same as now.

In fact, it was because the decree announced that day was similar to the matter resolved today.

It was true that the imperial court appointed him as the chief controller of the three sides, but on the way there, Wang Yue was still worried about Li Guang's death.

He is not the kind of person who talks on paper. A border general is fighting outside. Once he does not get the support of the court, the emperor will doubt you today and the censor will impeach you tomorrow. How will the battle be fought?

So this was also the reason why he wanted to go to the East Palace.

You need a backer.

"Your Majesty, is there a new reward?" Wang Zhi sat on the edge and guessed.

"No, no." Wang Yue smiled and shook his head.

"That means... Your Majesty has solved the grievances of the past ten years for grandpa?"

"Half of the answers are correct." Wang Yue asked his little granddaughter to keep guessing, "The real reason why grandpa is happy is because of the East Palace."

The old man sighed all his life, "God has eyes and sent me such a powerful person from the Ming Dynasty. Although he is still young, he seems to understand the key points of border generals, and it is not just words but no actions, but strategies.

Before Grandpa went there, he was already clearing the way for Grandpa. He also told me that from now on, I will only worry about how to deal with the enemies outside the pass. If Wang Shichang, I, can't win such an easy battle, hey, then what about that?

Weiningbo is a fake!"

Although he is old, what he says is so heroic.

Wang Zhize's eyebrows flashed slightly, "Is this prince really so magical...? Every time I come into contact with him, I always figure something out?"

Wang Yue is not a person who worships blindly. He said it with the little note in his heart.

"It's a pity, Zhi'er, you are a girl." The old man looked at his little granddaughter, "When I was about to leave, His Highness asked me to recruit talented people for the country. I think His Highness was thinking about the future. After all, I am old, but Your Highness

You are still young, how can a young monarch only have old generals? Zhi'er, if you were a man, with your intelligence, my grandpa would have the audacity to ask you to accompany the prince and assist Mingjun in the future, and my Wang family would not be able to move to a higher level."

"What a pity, what a pity!"
