Comparing the secret reports of the Jinyiwei, Mei Guozhen's memorials and Ye Mengxiong's military newspaper, Zhu Yijun found that the contents of the three reports were the highest in line with Xiao Ruxun being the well-deserved hero in this battle. He fought against the Lucheng City and defeated 9,000 enemies. There was also a long-distance raid that caused the enemy's backyard to catch fire, which made Wei Xuezeng's rapid advance to surround Ningxia Town and an invincible position.

In addition, he repeatedly defeated the raids of Cavalry and the final blasting of the city wall with gunpowder, which prompted the end of the rebellion. If it were not for Xiao Ruxun, as Ye Mengxiong himself said, he would use the method of diverting water to flood the city and flood Ningxia City. At that time, not only will Ningxia City be destroyed, but it will also cause more murder.

The appearance of Xiao Ruxun not only caused a bloody battle of tens of thousands of people to only lose more than 10,000 households, but also only a loss of the West City Wall and a loss of one-third of the buildings in the city. Coupled with the death of the six thousand Ming troops, such data is far lower than the expected loss data of water diversion and flooding the city. It can be said that Xiao Ruxun's existence helped Daming save two-thirds of the money for the battle and rebuilding and comforting the money.

It is also reported that after the war, Xiao Ruxun was committed to maintaining the order of the city, beheading twenty-four criminal soldiers, restoring the order as quickly as possible, and then starting the reconstruction of Ningxia. Such means and abilities are by no means possible for a warrior.

Ye Mengxiong's evaluation of Xiao Ruxun is "both civil and military, the talents of a general, and the abilities of a herdsman."

Mei Guozhen's evaluation is "a talented man who is difficult to produce in the nine borders for fifty years, and has the style of a Confucian general of ancient times."

The Jinyiwei's evaluation is "has the ability to manage the army on horseback and dismount the horseback and the people on horseback. He has a reputation for literature, read more, has a rigorous military management, and has a good attitude to herdsmen. He can lead the army to fight and achieve the greatest results by making the smallest loss. He is actually a good general who has never been born in the world."

In fact, if you don’t look at the evaluation of the Jinyiwei, just by looking at the evaluation of the two civil officials of this military general, you can know how much Xiao Ruxun is about them. Nowadays, civil officials’ evaluations of the nine-sided military generals are either pigs or dogs, and they are quite contemptuous.

As a child of a family of nine-sided generals, Xiao Ruxun could first marry the daughter of the former Minister of War, which is enough to show how Yang Zhao, a typical literary general appreciates Xiao Ruxun. Now the comments of Ye Mengxiong and Mei Guozhen further reflect this.

In addition, according to the Jinyi Guardian News, Wei Xue, who was taken back to the capital to convict, also appreciated Xiao Ruxun very much and was one of the first people to support Xiao Ruxun using gunpowder to break the city.

As the saying goes, it is easy to get a thousand troops, but hard to find a general. In this era, when literary and nobles and martial arts are low, how precious is the birth of a good general who is not born in the world? Zhu Yijun himself also knows that there are always disadvantages for literati to command military forces. For example, the power of literati is too strong, and the group of generals who could have competed with him became lackeys.

A good example is that when he ascended the throne, the strongest military generals, such as Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang, had to rely on his breath, and the emperor was severely suppressed by him. Such things have already made Zhu Yijun extremely dissatisfied with the civil servant group. He was already working to support the eunuch group to confront it, such as trying to send out eunuchs to get money and disgusting civil servants.

But as soon as this battle was fought, a talented man suddenly appeared, which made Zhu Yijun's mind start to come alive.

Although supporting eunuchs is one of the necessary means for the emperor, because this is a double-edged sword, hurting others and oneself, it is extremely easy to be scolded by historians controlled by the civil servant group, leaving a bad reputation and being ridiculed by future generations. Emperor Zhengde is the lesson of the past. If Zhu Yijun is unwilling to do so unless it is necessary, then for the sake of his reputation, he must fight against civil servants and ensure his authority. It is not enough to split and support civil servants!

These guys have seen through the skill of Grandpa Jiajing supporting Yan Song. His brain is not as smart as Grandpa Jiajing. This trick is not easy to use, so we must find another way.

You can't split the civil servants, you can't grab the pen, you can't use the eunuch's ultimate move that disgusting others and disgusting yourself. The money bag is not that easy to grab, so the rest is to support the warrior to grab the gun back.

Moreover, at this time, there are special benefits to supporting military officials, because the civil servants have been inferior to the military for more than a hundred years, and civil servants have become accustomed to being arrogant. Suddenly, a great military general appears to share power with them. Just like how Di Qing disgusted those civil servants when he was the Privy Councilor, Zhu Yijun, who is familiar with history books, remembers it very clearly.

However, what is even better is that the Song Dynasty was a ancestral system of civil servants and nobles, and civil servants were truly humiliating military officers who stood above the commanding heights. However, the Ming Dynasty's ancestral system was just the opposite. Five of the founding six dukes were all military generals, and the only one Li Shanchang also obtained the title because of his military merits, which was extremely important to the Ming Dynasty.

As for the current situation of civil and nobles and military despicable people, it is due to history, not the ancestral system. The "ancestral system technique" that is one of the moral tricks of civil officials cannot be used. If you want to use it, you are shooting yourself in the foot. Zhu Yijun will use the ancestral system to talk to them well, which is disgusting them.

Zhu Yijun was extremely disgusted and disgusted with these civil servants.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun would never blindly trust civil officials like Song Renzong and indulge civil officials to force Di Qing to death. Zhu Yijun, who has seen through these guys, will try every means to support and protect his spokespersons for interests with civil officials in the court.

After the civil servants attacked, the military officers could only rely closely on the emperor and fought with the civil servants with the emperor's prestige and power. The civil servants would definitely counterattack. The military generals finally saw the hope of rising and would inevitably resist desperately. Once the two groups fought against each other, who would be the final winner?

Own.

With the help of Jinyiwei Dong Factory, the Jinyiwei Dong Factory can fight a front-line battle for the rise of military generals at the beginning. The military generals and Jinyiwei Dong Factory teamed up to defeat the civil service group's arrogance. In the end, the one who gets the greatest benefit is himself.

As an emperor, if the ministers below were single, it would be equivalent to the emperor being undermined. Although Sun Quan, a stubborn person who split his ministers, had a bad reputation in history, he at least guaranteed his power, and the same was true for Zhu Yijun's idea.

You asked me to take the blame and be scolded by the people of the world because you were so troubled by the Ming Dynasty. How could this be the reason?

This is the so-called emperor's mind. This is the biggest limitation of a country with one surname. At this time, it is the only hope to break the deadlock.

As the saying goes, there are no tricks, only tricks from the wrong place. Even if you are reversing history, it can play a huge positive role at some point.

Zhu Yijun would never accept the current situation! A series of strategies began to take shape in his mind.

While Zhu Yijun was planning his overall situation for generations, a report from the Liaodong Metropolitan Department was passed to the Ministry of War, which was seen by Shi Xing, the new Minister of War, and attracted Shi Xing's attention.

Shi Xing was an old minister of the three dynasties of Jiajing, Longqing and Wanli. He was honest by nature, so his career was quite bumpy. He first wrote a letter to persuade Emperor Longqing, but he was almost beaten to death because he offended the eunuch Tengxiang.

After Wanli ascended the throne, Shi Xing finally reincarnated, but he had a good time with Zhang Juzheng and broke up with Zhang Juzheng. At that time, Zhang Juzheng was at its peak and had power. Shi Xing had to give up his post and go home. Until Zhang Juzheng died, he returned to the center of the court.

Shi Xing knew very well that as the most important vassal state of the Ming Dynasty in the East, there were several sets of intelligence systems belonging to the Ming Dynasty in North Korea. First of all, there must be the Jinyiwei, the exclusive emperor's Jinyiwei, and then the local areas in Liaodong, the Ministry of War, and so on.

Even some businessmen who do business in North Korea and other private systems have their own intelligence stations, and they will provide intelligence to the court from time to time. North Korea thinks that the Ming Dynasty does not understand it, but in fact, the Ming Dynasty’s understanding of North Korea is not a solid understanding, but also a clear understanding.

Therefore, this report from the Liaodong garrison commander Yang Shaoxun made Shi Xing feel excited. The report was issued at the end of April, when the North Korean capital was in a hurry. Shi Xing received it in mid-May. In order to make up for the time difference, Yang Shaoxun specially added a sentence that the situation in North Korea is corrupt and may no longer be cured. He also asked the court to prepare early.

Shi Xing suspected that North Korea was barely considered a great power, with a natural danger of three thousand miles and hundreds of thousands of armors. Why was it beaten to the capital in just ten days? According to the information, the Japanese army began to attack on April 13th. In just over ten days, Wangjing and Seoul were in a hurry - are the North Korean soldiers all scarecrows? If you resist a little, you will not be defeated so quickly, right?

At this moment, Shi Xing suddenly remembered that last year, in the second half of the 19th year of Wanli, a rumor that was rampant in the capital was rumored that North Korea joined forces with Japan to plot against the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, the rumor was successfully falsely accused by the cabinet master Xu Guo’s defense, which proved to be false, but is it possible? This is really because the North Koreans deliberately showed weakness, but in fact they were deliberately giving way to the Japanese? Otherwise, why have they never received a letter from North Korea to seek help so far?

Shi Xing suddenly felt a little chill when he thought of this, but remembering that the Ningxia Battle had been pacified and the Ming Dynasty had freed up his hands, he felt a little more confident. While instructing Baoding General Ni Shangzhong to move to Tianjin to strengthen the combat preparations on Jizhou and Shandong coastal areas, he moved to the Liaodong Metropolitan Office and asked them to send personnel to North Korea to conduct a detailed investigation.

It was early June when Yang Shaoxun received Shi Xing's instructions. While arranging two investigators, Cui Shichen and Lin Shilu, were preparing to enter the North Korean side, while sending Tong Yangzheng, deputy general of Kuan Dienbao, to Yishun Pavilion in North Korea, to establish an emergency contact channel during wartime, and to install several scouts and messengers from the Ming army.
