Although the emperor did not easily summon ministers after Chenghua, the operations of the Ming Dynasty were still as meticulous and orderly as machines, relying on the system. In addition to the cabinet's votes, the lower department often discussed the peace talks between the court. As for whether the cabinet ministers participated, it depends on the actual situation. On this day, because the little prince and his tribes fell into the Qingshui Camp in Ningxia and continued to plunder the troops, the Minister of War Liu Daxia finally convened the Ministry of War. In addition to the head of the headquarters, the head of the headquarters and the military department were in charge, Li Dongyang and the Minister of Revenue Han Wen also attended the meeting due to Liu Daxia's request.

The focus of this discussion is only one thing, whether to send generals to fight, or to hold on with the original team. You should know that from the early years of Hongzhi, from the young prince tribes to the Huosie tribes, and then to the Tulupan, it has never stopped over and over again. To put it bluntly, this so-called peace and power is almost uneven indignation, and the Tartars are rampant every year. Therefore, when it comes to those Tartars who are not fed, the mature officials have no mood of righteous indignation.

"War, the little prince and his tribes are attacking every year, and the Tartars are good at cavalry and shooting, coming and going like the wind, and the army gathers slowly and slowly. Often, I advance and retreat to the enemy. If there is any bad thing, I will hit their ambush! Now, the plan is to order each side to stick to it and not send troops easily. Once the army moves, the food and grass will go first, and the treasury does not have so much money and food to waste!"

The person who spoke was Han Wen, the Minister of Revenue. He was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue for many years. As early as when he was a minister during the Chenghua period, he became famous for his bold style. Even Wang Yue and Ma Wensheng were beaten by his bricks. He even suffered from the court stick of Emperor Chenghua because of his strong words. Even today, he is still very old.

When Han Wen opened his mouth, Liu Daxia was sure. The reason for inviting the Minister of Revenue was that he said something alone was a one-man show, and the firepower could be shared better with one person. So he looked around and exchanged glances with Li Dongyang, and then said in a deep voice: "Han Shangshu's intention is to take steady steps, and to strengthen defense and garrison in Yansui and other places in Ningxia, and to stop sending troops. Do you have any other opinions?"

After a few words of ease, a different opinion finally came from the corner: "It's good not to send troops rashly, but if you just want the nine borders to defend, the Tartars come and go like the wind, after this year, next year, next year, and after the years, it will still be a major frontier."

Although he was scolded and scolded by his father after he went back that day, Wang Shouren was originally going to endure it today, but after hearing what Han Wen said and the mature and polite doctors agreed with Han Wen's advice, he finally couldn't help it anymore.

At this moment, seeing a series of eyes focused on him, he said word by word: "Justice Han said just now that the army was gathering slowly, but why is that? It is because every time the court wants to increase troops to wipe out these Tartars, it will take ten days and half a month to gather troops alone, and such a large number of troops will be allocated to the corresponding place for at least ten days and half a month. When the army consumes huge amounts of money and food to arrive at the location, the Tartars have already robbed them all!"

The more he said the louder he was, he completely put what others thought of himself: "So, there is nothing wrong with ordering the defense now, but in addition, how to draw elite troops from the defenders on each side, let them practice cavalry and shoot, and give them special responsibility to eliminate small groups of Tartars. This is the most important thing, so that the army can be simple to save money. Our army goes deep into the grassland, which is the territory of the Tartars. If you are not careful, it will be easy to be trapped. However, the Tartars are familiar with the terrain. It is our army that fights fast and blocks quickly, and blocks the enemy. This is to give up the short and use the long. And to pay for the death and injury, reward the enemy with heavy rewards, and strictly control the hard work. This is to give up kindness and anger..."

Speaking of the rise, Wang Shouren couldn't help but unfold his former border affairs. However, before he could finish his words, Liu Daxia's voice came from the other side: "Talking about military affairs on paper! If this border affairs are as easy and simple as you said, it will give the Tartars in the north a chance to take advantage of it? It is good for young people to have ambitions, but they also have to think about whether it is realistic! Don't think that you have been practicing military forces in Xiyuan for three months, and you really know what the marching and war is going on!"

After saying something, Wang Shouren choked back, and Liu Daxia looked at the others and said, "Who else has something to say?"

Although Wang Shouren is a family member of the family and has a few friends in the capital, he was not popular in the Ministry of War, especially this time he spent three months in Xiyuan, and was praised by the emperor for training military affairs, so others looked down on his style even more. At this moment, Liu Daxia refuted him, and the rest of them secretly praised him. Even if they were originally planning to make different opinions, they stopped and said some mature and steadfast views. When it was Li Dongyang, the cabinet master who came to Guanshi, he took a sip of tea, but only said a few words.

"When I came here, Yuan Fu and Mu Zhai said that we should not repeat the mistakes we had in the past, but we should not just stop eating because of the choke. As for what Wang Shouren said, there are some unrealistic aspects, but they are not completely useless. Please consider it more."

The so-called consideration is just to give Wang Shouren a step, and everyone will not continue to criticize him for a while. When it dispersed, Liu Daxia knew that Wang Shouren and his son had a good relationship with Li Dongyang, so he ordered Wang Shouren to send Li Dongyang away, so he would not be disgusted in front of him. Li Dongyang went out of the Ministry of War and saw that Wang Shouren, who was one step behind, was not very good, so he turned around.

"Boan, you have to understand that everything needs to be progressive step by step and not to be too hasty. What you said is not something that no one has mentioned, but you know why it cannot be accomplished? It is very simple. Although people are despised by others, everything in this world depends on people to do. For example, what you call choosing elites, how to choose, who will take over to lead, should there be more food and salary compared to other military horses, how to calculate rewards and punishments, if those who are not elites are to be eliminated, how to resettle them, how to save military expenditure... These are all problems. As for pensions, deaths, injuries, etc., it is still the same sentence, where does the money come from?"

Seeing that Wang Shouren was about to speak several times but stopped, Li Dongyang said earnestly: "Don't hang out with those soldiers who only work hard in everything for a long time, and they will get involved in their impatient habits. As for Xu Xun, this son is still good, but he is too smart, and he can't help but like to take shortcuts. Don't learn from him. March is the exam period, so don't keep burying his head in military affairs. Go and see what kind of like-minded people are serious in the current subject.

Well, the Nanjian Priest Zhang Demao is said to have left a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam to study in Nanjian, and he was only allowed to come to Beijing before. This subject seems to be a candidate. I remember that he was Chen Baisha's disciple, called... By the way, it is Zhan Ruoshui. I will give you a lecture tomorrow. "

"Yes, thank you Mr. Li for giving me some advice!"

Although he agreed, Wang Shouren was actually absent-minded. After sending Li Dongyang into the car, he was not busy returning to the Ministry of War. Instead, he followed the street to Dongjiang Mi Lane and then headed west. After passing Qipan Street, he went up Jiangmi Lane and before he could reach the Jinyiwei Yamen, he heard a burst of noise from inside. Thinking of the letter Xu Xun brought, he asked for help and walked in.

"The Jinyiwei is in great importance, and idle people are not allowed to enter without any chance!"

"That's right, Lord Xu, the avant-garde of the government army, is doing important things inside. Lord Ye is not seeing the outsiders!"

Although Xu Xun only picked six people yesterday, and today he had four more prisoners in front of the Jinyiwei gate were also very curious about the screening inside, but his responsibilities were that as soon as he saw the young man who looked like a civil servant in front of him stopped here, one of them shouted, and the other added kindly. It would be fine if the latter didn't talk much, but Wang Shouren was depressed and walked around here casually. He couldn't help it when he heard this. He walked up and said, "I'll report it to Wang Shouren, the head of the Ministry of War, is here."

"Wang Shouren?"

One of the lieutenants saw that the head of the Ministry of War was so awesome, and at some point the other immediately pulled him aside and smiled and said, "It turns out to be the head of the king! Huh, Lord Xu has told me before. If you come, please come in immediately without reporting. Everyone inside is intact!"

Wang Shouren was a real person to rest at home for two days, read a few books carefully to calm down, but he didn't know that Xu Xun had not been idle these two days. As soon as he entered the Jinyiwei Yamen, he walked around the large screen wall with lotus carved in front and entered another door. He saw that several young men of similar age were surrounded by Xu Xun, and six or seven young men were listing one side. Not far away in front of them, about twenty or thirty people were listening to Maqiao's command for a while, and then left and right. It was obviously Xu Xun who sacrificed the move in the training queue before.

"Brother Wang is here?" Xu Xun didn't notice Wang Shouren coming in at first, but was reminded by Qian Ning beside him. He looked over and immediately left the others and smiled and greeted him. "You should be back to the department for the first day of your vacation today. Is the official business of Wuxuan Department so free?"

"Don't mention the Ministry of War!" Wang Shouren felt depressed when he thought about what happened today. He sighed and looked at the group of small officers who turned left and right there. Then he turned to the teenagers who were obviously noble men of famous families. "I didn't expect that you are so decisive and so quick that you will be almost complete. But who are those four?"

"Those four? One is the Prince of Shouning Hou. Of course, this time it's a fake one." Seeing Wang Shouren's mouth twitching slightly, he obviously remembered the three months he had been fooled by Zhu Houzhao, Xu Xun smiled again, "The rest are the second son of Duke Ding, Duke Wei's brother-in-law, and the son of Renhe and the eldest princess."

Seeing Wang Shouren being shocked, he added with a smile: "Of course, they are going to be a hundred households in the army."
