For Xu Jie, this was the first time he heard someone tell him that the Japanese country was about to decide the final winner and form a new political power. This was a very scary signal. Ming Dynasty, which was suffering from internal and external troubles, might have another terrible enemy watching. snoop.
Seeing Xu Jie's silence, Xu Wei continued: "According to Chen Keyuan, who went to Japan a few years ago, the new ruler of Japan is thirty years old, ambitious and enterprising, and his generals are all around thirty years old." Chen Ke Yuan has been avoiding political affairs since he returned to the Central Plains. Xu Wei and Chen Ke Yuan worked together and had a good personal relationship with him, so they naturally had contact with him.
Xu Wei emphasized age. For the ruler of a regime, age determines the stability of the new regime and the aggressiveness of the new regime. He used two thirty-year-olds to point out the relationship between Japan and neighboring countries. threatening.
If the ruler is over the age of sixty, then he will need more than ten years to recuperate and recuperate if he wants to stabilize the internal affairs and help his successors stabilize the situation. What the Ming Dynasty lacks now is time. However, the upper class of the new Japanese regime are all around thirty years old. This is an energetic age and a strong threat to neighboring countries.
Xu Wei once held an important position and served as chief staff member under Hu Zongxian, so he naturally had a correct grasp of the situation in the southeast. Later, the imperial court unjustly killed Hu Zongxian. Xu Wei ventured out of danger and traveled around the southeast. His understanding of the situation in the southeast was extraordinary. He is pessimistic about the future situation of Ming Dynasty.
There are still intrigues within the Ming Dynasty, and the southeast is already in conflict. A war between the north and the south is inevitable. If the Ming Dynasty could unite with one heart and one mind, forge ahead with determination, and train a strong army, perhaps the Northern and Southern Dynasties would be possible.
But just when the North and the South were in confrontation, the situation in the Japanese country suddenly changed. This was even worse for the Ming Dynasty, which was suffering from internal and external troubles. Once the Japanese country and the Southern Alliance attacked from the north and the South, the Ming Dynasty would immediately fall apart. Xu Wei, who was originally idle in the clouds and wild cranes, could not sit still. He worked hard and met Mr. Xu Ge through Zhang Juzheng, selling his theory to Mr. Xu Ge to preserve the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.
Mr. Xu Ge¡¯s name is Second Assistant, and he actually does the work of the First Assistant. Every Beijinger knows that Mr. Yan Song is more of a mascot. No one dares to touch him, and no one lets him take charge.
Yan Song is getting older, frail and mentally exhausted. Coupled with the death of his old wife, he has no experience in handling government affairs. Originally, Yan Shifan could still rely on this son to decide matters.
Now Yan Shifan is in charge of the two lakes, with a total of 120,000 soldiers and horses under his command. Nearly half of these 150,000 horses are his regiment training private soldiers who raised food and grass, and he only listens to Yan Shifan.
Yan Shifan built cities and forts on the border between the two lakes. On the surface, it seemed to be to defend against invasion. In fact, it was to store weapons and food to defend the two lakes. In fact, everyone knew Sima Zhao's intentions.
However, now the Ming court occupies the righteousness, and the southeast Jinling is occupied by money and food. Naturally, Yan Shifan will not do the stupid things that the relatives and the avengers are fast. The court is also afraid. If Yan Song is allowed to serve as director again, who knows whether Yan Song, Yan Shifan and his son will do evil things such as internal and external collusion to usurp Zhu Ming's kingdom.
Xu Jie certainly would not question Xu Wei's remarks. After listening carefully to Xu Wei's remarks, he already believed the authenticity of Xu Wei's narrative, and the Ming court could no longer afford to gamble.
Zhang Juzheng suddenly asked: "The current situation is characterized by internal and external troubles, the southeast has fallen, the northern Tatars frequently cross the border, the border troops are decayed, and the leading generals have become warlords. I wonder what you have in mind?"
Xu Wei was silent for a moment, then raised his head and glanced at Xu Jie, and saw that Xu Jie had no objection. Obviously Xu Jie also wanted to hear his opinion, and he listened and understood, so he said: "Borrow troops, borrow troops from Japan!"
Before Xu Wei finished speaking, Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng were both shocked. However, they were both elites who could only meet once in a century. After thinking for a moment, they suddenly realized. The rampant thieves in the Ming Dynasty are directly related to the fact that the Ming Dynasty court no longer has a strong army. If the court can be given two or three years, it may be able to develop a strong army, but the court's time is running out.
At the moment of life and death, even if they knew that borrowing troops from Japan was poisonous to quench their thirst, they still had to drink it. The only way to survive the crisis at hand, and as long as the imperial court was there, their glory would be there.
Xu Wei has always been committed to the cause of fighting against Japan. He never thought that today he would propose the idea of ??borrowing troops from Japan. It is enough to say that the Ming Dynasty court has reached the point where it will use all possible means.
Mentioning the Japanese country has already violated political correctness, and now it is necessary to lend troops to the Japanese country, which has always been regarded as an enemy. Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng both know that once they bring it up, they will inevitably attract countless slanders. But can Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng come up with a better way?
The answer is self-evident, but the key to the question is that both Xu Jie and Zhang JuzhengCunning foxes, they will not tell the world what they think. They will secretly push out the strict party members to propose this opinion, and then they can reluctantly agree. Afterwards, the responsibility can be put on the head of Party Yan, but how can we get the people of Party Yan to bring it forward?
Xu Jie glanced at Xu Wei, Zhang Juzheng shook his head slightly, Xu Wei, who had escaped the disaster, remained silent, as if he didn't know, but he was so smart that he didn't know the danger of this suggestion.
Xu Wei made a suggestion and then left through the back door accompanied by Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Juzheng hurried back, Xu Jie banged on the table, and after a while he said: "Uncle, will you return to the Prince's Mansion first, and then introduce Xu Wenchang to the Prince and listen to the Prince's thoughts?"
Zhang Juzheng kowtowed and said: "The prince has a gentle personality, I'm afraid he won't stand out." A gentle personality actually means cowardice and incompetence.
Xu Jie shook his head slightly and said: "You are not the only one in the Prince's Mansion. As long as it appears in the Prince's Mansion, it will definitely be known to the world. I want to see what the world really thinks."
Zhang Juzheng was stunned for a moment, didn't he know that he was pushing the prince to roast on the fire.
Zhang Juzheng was horrified and looked at Xu Jie with wide eyes. He never thought that the teacher had already planned to force Jiajing to abdicate. Now that the court was experiencing internal and external troubles, someone would eventually take the blame. He replied: "Yes, teacher!"
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ It is said that when dealing with the matter in front of the court, both Yang Bo and the Prince's Mansion petitioned Zhang Juzheng for the best, and the senile Yan Song also spoke up. Emperor Jiajing agreed, and Elder Xu Jie and Xu Ge had to eat Coptis chinensis in silence.
