Chapter 787:

Marshal Wang is one of those who eat food, but can't bring any benefits to Daming Country, but Niu Ben is different. It has been on the battlefield and has never failed.
If it wasn't for the sake of saving some face for Marshal Wang, I am afraid that he would be asked directly at the beginning of the exchange, but who knows, this Marshal Wang is too useless, and he doesn't even know such a little question!
The ghost knew where he had the courage to stand here. When Niu Ben heard Jiang Ning’s question, where would he hesitate?
Hurriedly said: "My Majesty, the countries sending troops to our country are Turkic, Khitan, Mongolia, and the Kingdom of Jin."
"Among them, the Turks dispatched 100,000 troops, but they are not to be afraid of, because the Turks are all cavalry, and they don't know how to attack cities, or they are not used to attacking cities at all!
Listening to Niu Ben's introduction, Jiang Ning couldn't help thinking.
Indeed, as Niu Ben said, the Turks have always been like a gust of wind, swept over gold and silver treasures, and then left.
Attacking the city, this is not their specialty.
"In addition, Mongolia sent 80,000 troops, but they were all people who didn't know how to attack the city."
"The ones that need attention are the Khitan and the Golden State."
"Khitan, the Kingdom of Jin sent 50,000 troops each, how to decide on it, please show your majesty."
Niu Ben is very clever. He did not advise Jiang Ning or express his own opinions. He just listed the advantages and shortcomings of each country and let Jiang Ning make his own choice.
This Niu Ben is much more useful than the old marshal.
Jiang Ning glanced at Niu Ben approvingly, reminding himself to pay more attention to this person.
Such talents cannot be put on hold at will.
Find an opportunity to drag Marshal Wang down and let him make up.
Thinking in his heart, on the surface, Jiang Ning didn't show anything.
I saw him resting his chin with one hand, and muttered: "Between the Qidan and the Golden State, it is obvious that the Qidan is stronger..."
What Jiang Ning said did not refer to national power, but the combat capability of a single soldier.
All the civil and military officials all looked closely at Jiang Ning who was sitting on the dragon chair.
They all knew that Jiangning was probably going to choose between Khitan and Jin Guo.
As for Mongolia and Turks, although the soldiers have strong personal combat capabilities, when it comes to siege, they are still a mob.
Therefore, as early as the beginning, Jiang Ning was ruled out.
The remaining two countries, Khitan and Jin, are also easy to guess.
The quality of Khitan soldiers is relatively stronger, so Jiang Ning will definitely choose the latter!
Persimmons still have to be soft, right?
All the civil and military officials have replaced themselves as Jiang Ning, thinking about this issue.
They have long been used to doing this kind of thing, and it can even be said to be easy.
Because as a courtier, it is necessary to figure out your heart.
Sometimes a word from the Lord is enough to make you think about it all night.
Of course, this is not to say how clever the king is, how mysterious his words are.
The fact is that the two are in different positions. As long as the courtier guesses wrong, his head may fall.
Over time, they all developed this habit.
"Well, in that case, it's decided!"
Just as all the civil and military officials were thinking about it, Jiang Ning slapped the table, stood up, and said loudly.
Although he didn't have enough time to think, he was not a mother-in-law. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to make a decision.
"Your Majesty has decided to attack the Kingdom of Jin?"
"This time, your Majesty's private conquest will surely be unimpeded!!"
Jiang Ning hadn't said his decision yet, and these ministers had already begun to speak for themselves.
Some are flattering Jiangning, some express their own opinions.
All in all, almost everyone has concluded that Jiang Ning's goal is Jin Guo.
"Jin Country? When did I say that I would attack Jin Country?" Jiang Ning was dazed, somewhat puzzled.
Where did these guys hear that they are going to attack Jin Kingdom?
"..."
There was silence all around, and all the civil and military ministers were dumbfounded.
"Your Majesty is not going to attack the Kingdom of Jin?"
"Isn't it Khitan?"
"Yes, I just want to attack the Qidan, what's the matter?" Jiang Ning nodded, taking it for granted: "Since the Qidan is stronger than the Kingdom of Jin, then the problem of the Qidan should be solved first, otherwise when the Qidan invades our country, Still a lot of trouble."
Afterwards, Jiang Ning began to state its pros and cons for the ministers.
According to Jiang Ning's words, that is to kill the strongest enemy first, and then the weaker will be counseled.
However, according to the fixed thinking of the ministers, it is best to get rid of the weak. First, get rid of the weak as fast as possible, and then turn around to deal with the powerful enemy.
Of course, different ideas belong to ideas, and they are just ideas.
You can think about it, but do you have the courage to fight Jiang Ning?
Therefore, the final decision was to attack the Qidan first.
At the time when the Ming Dynasty was in danger, people in the martial arts also surfaced and went to the border to support.
Although they always fight against the government on weekdays, they still know that they are from Daming country.
When the Ming Dynasty was rare, the first batch of people who stood up were the passionate people who were usually suppressed by the government.
Although this phenomenon has been much weaker after Jiangning ascended the throne, it still exists.
This can make many officers and soldiers feel guilty.
But for people in the rivers and lakes, it doesn't matter.
They help resist foreign enemies and return to resist foreign enemies. These are two completely different things.
When this is over, what should be done right is still done right.
Of course, not all people in the rivers and lakes have this idea, and even some plan to take this opportunity to strengthen the martial arts.
There are not many people like this, but they are actually quite a lot.
Among them, the Songshan School is the most.
In this regard, although people in the arena all complained, they did not stop their efforts to serve the motherland.
This account will be calculated later.
Presumably, even the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, that is, Jiang Ning himself, would not agree to let the Songshan School easily go.
With the help of people from all walks of life, the battle situation at the border became much better immediately. ,, ..
