Emperor Wanli encountered a problem. In the letter to Chen Mu, the court officials attributed the reason for this problem to Chen Mu, so they unanimously believed that he needed to solve the problem.

This problem is that after the Ming army occupied the Nanyang, even the Wanli ship had sailed to the East Ocean. Only then did the civil and military officials of the court finally realize it and believed that the Ming Dynasty could successfully expand.

The war that took place on the ocean is not a miracle, and it is not an opportunity to recover the Wulianghai. The deep reason is that the generation who was born in the late period of the southern Japanese and northern barbarians, grew up and experienced the reopening of the sea ban and fought bloody battles in Manila. The youngest one had passed the palace examination and passed the Jinshi exam, entered the Hanlin Academy as an editor, went to the local magistrate, and became a censor in the judiciary.

The Ming Dynasty in their eyes was completely different from the Ming Dynasty in their eyes.

The older generation said that the war should not be started lightly. The flag army was exhausted and was not good at field battles. However, they said that the Ming flag army was invincible and cited the achievements of sealing the martial arts hall. The older generation said that the imperial court should not fight in multiple ways. The empty treasury of the imperial court could not withstand consumption. However, they said that the imperial court transported silver in Beijing for 8 million taels of silver in Beijing, and the Beijing for 8 million stones of grain in Beijing. The Qinglong of the Jintong Railway traveled 320 miles a day. As long as the construction continues, the sea transported grain and grass can be transported from the Beiyang Port to Xiningwei, Gansu in half a month.

The completely opposite ideas collided with each other in the court and have been going on for a long time.

From the beginning of both sides to the extreme rational analysis of both sides, and finally, they even came up with the strategic purpose of asking the generals to hand over to the capital, the combat plan began to analyze, and the group of people at the top of the Ming Dynasty's food chain - the Cabinet, the Six Ministry, and the Hanlin Academy, divided the strategic goals into priorities.

For example, Zhang Chen, the deputy general of Ningxia who was re-activated by the emperor for submitting a letter of war, had a very close strategic goal, which was to first recover the Hami Guard and then remove Ma Heima, the governor of Turpan of the Yarkand Khanate.

Although the Yarkand Khanate is seen as the greatest tragedy in ancient times in the grassland in the long river of history, the third generation of Khan Abduharin destroyed the Eastern Chagatai Khanate. In a short period of time, the Yarkand Khanate was at its peak. If it weren't for the first generation of Khan Sayed, they were killed by the Dharma Kings with altitude sickness on the way to attack Uszang, the extremely inflated Khanate would be very likely to be with Damingliangliang again.

The reason why they were targeted by Zhang Chen was that they had many tricks and had mines at home.

Nitr ore.

In fact, the Yarkand Khanate was very terrifying. They had both nitro and sulfonium, and the output was huge. The city-state nobles could also make muskets. When fighting, they used infantry muskets and shields to resist the offensive of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate. They were connected to the Mughals in the west and adjacent to the Ming Dynasty in the east, and had great potential.

The potential is unbearable and people cannot learn well. As descendants of the Chagatai Khanate and Turpan Khanate, they perfectly inherited the legacy of the Mongol Empire.

The rough Mongolian political system has.

The rough Mongolian-style financial system has.

The rough Mongolian military system has.

Of course, there are also election laws for Khan's heirs, Curry Conference.

The political system determines that the Khanate is a loose alliance of tribal chiefs, the fiscal system determines that the Khanate is poor, the military system determines that the warriors will not live a good life without fighting or robbing the warriors, and the Curry Conference... determines that every heir election will cause the Khanate to fall into a separatist war.

This is a big problem on the grassland where there is no city, but the land occupied by the Yarkand Khanate has now had cities and city-states since the Han Dynasty, and nomadic tribes and city-states coexist. The Khans saw that this would not work. Nomads could not make money, and they could not equip elite soldiers. They could not equip elite soldiers at the next time the Curry National Congress will be annexed by others.

And this place is very close to the traditional Central Asia region, so how would the smart khans choose? Of course, they were asked to find good neighbors in the west to learn from the scriptures. Once they had no money, they robbed their city-state.

In Zhang Chen's view, the city lords of the Yarkand Khanate, who were called "Burke", were all natural allies of the Ming Dynasty.

His strategic step was to recover Hamiwei, make a big battle with the Yarkand Khanate on the battlefield and win, so that the city lords who had suffered in the vast world who had been suffering in the Yarkand Khanate for a long time could see the power of the Ming Dynasty, and they all had to happily thank the chieftain's appointment letter of the Emperor of Ming.

Wars like this have a foundation for rule for the people, with familiar terrain and good roads, with cities and retreats, and easy to obtain internal support, and expected returns are also considerable. If they don’t fight, they will find it difficult to get back one day in the future... The best choice.

For example, the strategy of the Shaanxi general Wei Shi was not very interested in the court officials. He wanted to attack the Oirat because he was so angry.

Who cares whether you are angry or not? Tumu Fort has happened many years ago, let alone Bu Yanbo, who has succeeded the throne after Tuman, ran to Oirat. Just wait for them to mess with the matters behind them. There is neither roads nor strategic returns. Although Wei Shi made a serious plan, basically no one approves of this plan.

However, although many plans set a distinction between advantages and disadvantages, the court did not rush to see the war.

Because not only the military officials, but all the civil and military officials in the court were mobilized, and some serious governors even wanted to be transferred to the frontier as governors.

If everyone wants to achieve merits in opening up territory, then the question is - if you make merits, what will you be granted?

The lowly soldiers are easy to talk about, but these people in the group are at the level of governor and governor, and the military people are at the level of general. They have extremely good and meritorious positions. In the past, there were few people, and the problem of the royal family's wealth and rice was too great. The court was very restrained in titles, and few people made great contributions.

Now the barriers to restraint have disappeared, Jing Haibo and Krupp have all been sealed off, and the current situation has made the cabinet and the emperor a little scared.

If the Hami Guards were successfully conquered, would Zhang Chen be granted a title? If Zhang Chen was granted a title because of the Hami Guards, then what title should Qi Jiguang regained the three Guards of Uryanha? Then, Li Chengliang drilled through the old land of the Nurgandus and reset seven or eight guards, so what would he granted?

If you continue to expand in the future, how can those generals be awarded the title?

What's more, there are two older brothers in the world.

Yin Zhengmao from the West, he had the final say on how many guards to set up in the West.

Chen Mu from the East, holding the Shangfang Sword and Wanli gold medal, let alone the ward, he had the final say on how many kings he created.

The emperor could only discuss this with Chen Mu. As long as he was unified with Chen Mu, he could use him as an example in the future. No matter how great his achievements were, he would not be even greater than his.

In recent years, the emperor didn't know how to confer him, and only the title of marquis was left. As for the title of king, Wanli felt that Chen Mu, who was in charge of 180 kings, looked down on the title of king.

Chen Mu thought it was very difficult, but he did not agree with expanding the title of title... Nowadays, many powerful ministers and generals of the Ming Dynasty emerged. As long as the gap was opened, the title would be everywhere within three years.

Having a title is a good thing and can inspire people's desire to make meritorious contributions, but if the title is hereditary, the title will be cut off, and the heroes will be slaughtered after they are not dealt with.

The best way is to make the title not hereditary, but the descendants cannot be given no preferential treatment, otherwise the title will not be a title.

"Then, get some medals."

It is economical and affordable, and can also enhance the sense of honor of a meritorious person.
