Chapter 2328 Take what you need
After all, Altan is not the invincible Xiaoqiang, nor is it Genghis Khan, but a hero in the Mongolian grassland. Under the double suppression of Lin Yeran's several heavy damage and economic blockade, Altan's regime has long become in danger.
Although Altan is planning to go south, it is actually at the end of his strength.
If Longqing gave enough support, then he would not only continue to severely damage Altan, who led the army to invade, but might even fight back directly.
Since Chengzu, the Ming Dynasty talked more about how to defend, and had long lost the glory of the Ming army during the founding of the People's Republic of China. Even the plan to recover Hetao, which was considered far-sighted by later generations, was still a defensive strategic thinking.
However, Lin Xuran did not want China to continue to fall like this, nor did he want to follow the people in power to immerse themselves in a life of luxury by exploiting their own people. Instead, he hoped to embark on a path that led China to rise.
That's why, when Longqing was under unprecedented pressure from the government and the government, especially when he was attacked by the government and the government and the government, he knew that the time he had been waiting for might have come.
Longqing needed the reputation of the hero to save his image as an emperor, and he also wanted to strengthen the military's combat power through the Northern Expedition, thereby leading China to the top of the world.
"Lin Aiqing, how confident are you in this matter?" Long Qing swallowed secretly. This was already the best option for his current situation, so he asked seriously with some enthusiasm.
Lin Junran's eyes firmly looked up at Longqing, and he assured with confidence: "If the emperor does not listen to slander, he will not be as swaying as the previous emperor's regaining Hetao, and he will not be less suspicious of the appointment of generals. At most, he will plan.
In the past year, the Tartars dare not raise troops to the Ming Dynasty again, and our Ming Dynasty can go out of the pass to recover the Mongolian tribes and restore the Ming Dynasty to the great power of the ancestors!"
this……
When Zhang Fu heard that Lin Junran had such confidence and ambition, he couldn't help but be stunned and found that he still underestimated the courage of the leader of the war faction.
In the past, officials always aimed at guarding the side walls, and could be promoted like Yang Bo, but this Grand Secretary, who was also the Minister of War, wanted to step on the grassland.
But Lin Weiran passed the battles such as the Marutang Victory, the Shanxi Victory and the Badaling Victory, but it has long proved that he was not a fantasy.
Zhang Fu knew in his heart that there were other meanings behind this matter, so he couldn't help but turn his head to observe Longqing's reaction.
However, no matter how beautiful the blueprint Lin Qingran created, it was actually asking Longqing for military power and personnel autonomy. This move could easily touch the emperor's sensitive nerves.
The Ming Dynasty followed many systems of the Song Dynasty, and also reduced the possibility of ministers' rebellion through strong literature and weak military methods, so it was always wary of the ministers' possession of more military power.
Although Lin Qingran is undoubtedly capable of helping Longqing become a hero of a generation, Longqing gave Lin Qingran greater personnel autonomy to the Ministry of War, which would endanger the rule of the imperial power.
Of course, Lin Qingran was born as a scholar after all, and this approach was actually to relieve Longqing's worries, so it depends on how Longqing made a choice.
"Okay, I agree to you, I will definitely not be influenced by villains!" Long Qing did not suspect that Lin Qiran had ulterior motives and nodded happily and agreed.
He knew that the reason why Lin Weiran made such a request was probably just because he did not want to follow Xia Yan's footsteps. After all, the lessons of the recovery of Hetao are right in front of him.
The same is true! If he was as thoughtful as his father, he would not only waste a lot of manpower and financial resources from Daming, but he would probably have all his plans to be ruined.
However, Lin Junran's military talent has long been proven, and Lin Junran's technique of making money is even more amazing, so they are indeed capable of stepping on the grassland.
As long as he does not change his position easily, Lin Xunran will definitely be able to completely solve the stubborn disease of the North, and the emperor can enjoy his achievements, and even become a hero in history.
The most important thing is that once this matter is achieved, even if all officials argue that they are unwilling to reduce the vassal and the rice, stepping on the grassland is a feat that remains famous in history. Who can match the previous generations of emperors?
Lin Xuran actually knew that Longqing was not as suspicious and independent as Jiajing, but now he still received Longqing's verbal promise, and he bowed seriously: "Emperor, I will not let down the emperor's trust, and I will definitely solve Mongolia for the emperor.
This great trouble makes the emperor become the heroic lord who is comparable to Chengzu!"
If China wants to achieve true prosperity, it cannot pay too much attention to the economy and also develop a strong military force. Only when the army is strong can it not follow the footsteps of the Song Dynasty, but it can create a prosperous era of this era.
Now that Longqing has this promise and permission, he will no longer force Longqing to reduce the vassal of the clan, and the focus will be on military affairs and use all his energy to solve the problem of Mongolia in the north.
Once the threat from northern Mongolia is cleared, China will lose the constraints from the north, and thus stand at the top of the world with the opportunity of the ocean era.
"Okay... cough cough!" Long Qing felt happy, but as soon as he finished speaking, his throat suddenly became itchy and he couldn't help but bend down and cough.
Zhang Fu knew that Longqing's condition had worsened, so he immediately asked someone to bring a spittoon. At the same time, he went forward to help stroking Longqing's back to calm his breath, and a look of worry appeared on his face.
"Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon's body!" Lin Qingran looked at Long Qing who was coughing continuously, and also expressed his loyalty.
According to the original historical trajectory, Longqing should have one year of life. However, with his appearance, it quietly had a butterfly effect on many things, especially during this period, Longqing was far richer than Longqing in the original history.
Being rich is a good thing, but it can also turn into a bad thing.
The cause of Longqing was caused by excessive indulgence, but Longqing had money and did whatever he wanted, which invisibly aggravated the worsening process of the disease.
That's why Longqing's current condition is probably more serious than the original historical trajectory. He is already closer to the deadline and he can't even survive the sixth year of Longqing.
Cough cough cough...
Longqing let out a dry cough, and finally he even coughed out tears, but he couldn't even spit out a word, and raised his hand to Lin Qingran in pain.
Zhang Fu knew that Longqing was an emperor who cared about decently, so he turned his head and looked at Lin Yueran.
"Take care, I will leave, long live my emperor!" Lin Qingran did not need Zhang Fu to refresh himself, so he took the leave with understanding.
Ahem...
When Lin Qingran left, Longqing's coughing continued, and finally he coughed out bile from the spittoon, making his whole face look even more pale.
In this feudal era, the emperor's personal safety not only concerns the direction of the entire court, but also directly determines the final direction of the country.
In the following days, Longqing's health did not deteriorate as Lin Xuran expected.
Faced with Longqing's condition, the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital took turns to consult. After seeing Longqing's health on a daily basis, they finally realized that Longqing was not caused by insufficient rest and excessive licentiousness, but had already suffered from lust. Tuberculosis and stroke.
Healing the emperor is undoubtedly a very troublesome thing. No one dares to take risks with his whole family's lives, so he has always used mild medicine for treatment.
After more than two months of conservative treatment, although the Imperial Hospital did not treat Longqing to death, Longqing's health not only showed no sign of improvement, but instead became more and more serious.
Now, it is not that Long Qing is unwilling to go to the morning court, but that his body can no longer support such exhausting activities, and he stays in the Ganqing Palace to recuperate every day.
If you don’t commit suicide, you won’t die. This is just right for Long Qing to put it on.
Longqing's condition was actually intermittent. After careful treatment from the Imperial Hospital and the palace's great tonics, it also improved occasionally.
However, Longqing is a big erotic embryo. If his body allows him, he ignores the imperial physician's advice to abstain from sex and will favor the beauties in the palace.
But the women in the palace were not stupid, and everyone could see that Longqing's life was not long.
Everyone wants to lay a dragon seed before Longqing dies, so as to win a lot of support and guarantee for their future. Therefore, they try every means to squeeze Longqing, and even persuade Longqing to take aphrodisiacs.
In this kind of physical condition, Long Qing even issued an edict to enthrone two concubines, and the other palace concubines who were promoted and rewarded were ignored, which shows how many romantic things he had secretly done in the harem.
It was Longqing's own uncontrollably, coupled with the beauties who were for their respective futures, that ruined the hard-won results of the Imperial Hospital, which caused Longqing's body to fall into the abyss step by step.
Even in the sunny summer, the coughing sounds of the Ganqing Palace kept ringing, and Longqing lost more than ten pounds in just two months.
"The emperor is not pretending to be sick and avoiding the appointment of the crown prince, but he is really sick!"
"I have also heard of this. If we really suffer from tuberculosis, our emperor may..."
"Although our ministers should not argue about the dragon body, the emperor is so uncontrollable, which really makes me and other ministers angry!"
...
There is no airtight wall in the world, and Longqing's condition is a semi-public secret. Officials expressed their dissatisfaction with Emperor Longqing who was so "nonsense", especially during this period when he even enthroned two noble concubines.
However, they are helpless against Longqing now. Although they have been attacking Longqing constantly, Longqing has been staying in the imperial city, and each punch seems to hit the cotton.
But when it comes to perseverance, many people are not as good as these officials who have been born in ten years. Although they cannot get feedback from Longqing, they are still happy with advice.
But no matter which period, noisy is the main rhythm of the court.
Lin Weiran is undoubtedly an exception. He is neither worried about Longqing's illness nor participates in condemning Longqing, but is concentrating on doing his own duties.
Because Long Qing completely ignored the government affairs and Li Chunfang left office in anger, all the affairs of the Ming Dynasty now fell on the new cabinet formed by him and Guo Pu.
After all, they are already old people in the cabinet. Although the affairs of the past two months have been complicated, the four of them seem to be orderly handling the government affairs of the two capitals and thirteen provinces.
From deepening the work of opening up the sea to the outside world, to the implementation of the transformation of land and return to the southwest of the inner and southwest, to the light taxes and heavy commercial taxes throughout the Ming Dynasty, various measures have made the Ming Dynasty become better and better.
While enjoying low taxes, the Chinese people actually received the benefits brought by opening the sea, which led them to praise the court headed by Guo Pu and Lin Qingran.
This is the case. Although Longqing still did not shoulder the responsibility of the emperor, and all officials were still happy to attack Longqing, the lives of the people were getting better and better.
In addition, after Longqing's permission, Lin Weiran's military reforms were quietly launched, not only strengthening the training of military officers, but also directly exempting many incompetent generals from hereditary.
If it were in the past, Lin Xuran's action would have faced a counterattack from the hereditary officer group, but now Lin Xuran has already taken control of the situation.
Not to mention that these incompetent generals knew that they were guilty, and they were not able to challenge Lin Junran, so they also silently accepted demotion or transferred to idle department.
When time comes June, what should come will come after all.
Altan suddenly summoned many tribes and then led a 100,000 army to gallop south in a mighty manner. In just two days, he appeared in front of Badaling Pass.
As the situation changed, Mongolia also had to adjust the strategy of the Ming Dynasty accordingly.
Faced with the increasingly powerful Ming army, they also hoped to carry out a raid, rather than facing the four famous main legions of the Ming Dynasty at the same time.
It is precisely because their journey south not only did a lot of confidentiality work in advance, but also came to the bottom of Badaling before the Shijia Army, Ma Family Army and the Cavalry Regiment responded.
As Lin Junran expected, Altan mobilized a large number of troops this time, but instead raised the banner of invading the Ming Dynasty, he was under the banner of asking the Ming Dynasty for his grandson, Khannaji.
"Zhan Naji has surrendered to my Ming Dynasty. If Khan Naji is willing to go back with you, I will release him on the spot!" Qi Jiguang also stood on the top of the city and said, "When he was asking for Khan Naji, he also stood on the top of the city and said lightly."
Responded.
The reason why they made this promise was naturally not because they were afraid of Altan, but because it was a manifestation of the confidence of the Ming army. Their Ming army would not look at anyone's face, nor would they force Khan Naji to be a bargaining chip.
Judging from the current situation, it has nothing to do with the situation of war. Qi Jiguang's response method can undoubtedly demonstrate the compatibility and confidence of the Ming Dynasty.
"I have joined the Ming Dynasty. We will be enemies from now on. I will not follow you back!" After Chau Naji came to the city, he responded clearly.
Although he is Altan's grandson, this blood relationship is not very reliable in Mongolia. If he really chooses to go back, perhaps his wife will still have to give it to others, and he himself will not be able to escape death.
Now, he has received preferential treatment in the Ming Dynasty and his wife is pregnant, but he only wants to live this simple but happy farming life, but it is impossible for him to choose to return to the prairie.
After hearing the response from Khan Naji, the Mongolian army under the city exchanged glances silently, which was both shocking the Ming Dynasty and surprised Khan Naji's position.
