Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 225
Wang Shi went to the north, vowing to destroy Jiannu, and the land of Liaodong was once again surging.

Taichang led [-] Shenwu battalion iron cavalry and [-] forbidden troops out of Shanhaiguan, passed Ningyuan and Jinzhou, and headed north all the way to Shenyang.

The scene he saw along the way was completely different from the last time.

The last time he led an army over, Liaodong was newly defeated. Shenyang, Liaoyang, Haizhouwei, Gaizhouwei, Jinzhouwei, and Fuzhouwei were lost one after another.

Although Sun Chengzong stabilized the situation after he came, there was only a narrow corridor from Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou left in Liaodong at that time.

At that time, the tragic situation of more than two million Liao people gathered outside Ningyuan City to eat and sleep in the open air made people feel sad!

It's different now. More than two million Liao people have spread out on the fertile soil between Jinzhou and Haizhouwei. There are neat and good fields all the way, and the laughter and laughter of the common people when they are working in the fields All over the Daliaohe Plain.

They are really happy, because every family has been allocated enough fertile land, and the imperial court also exempted them from this year's land tax.

In other words, not only do they have more land than before, but they also own all the harvest this year, and there is no need to pay land taxes at all, and there will be no corrupt officials to beat the autumn wind.

You must know that they were still shivering outside Ningyuan City in the autumn of the previous year. Although the imperial court had been giving out porridge for relief, they hadn't had a full meal for several months or even half a year.

At that time, it was really cold and hungry, people were in panic, and the days felt like years, and every moment was suffering!

Who would have imagined that in just over a year, they lived a life of adequate food and clothing.

This little life is better than before Jiannu invaded Liaodong!

All of this is just like a dream!

Seeing the people in Liaodong living and working in peace and contentment, Taichang couldn't help but feel a lot more comfortable.

Originally, he was still annoyed by the rebels who were raging everywhere in the Central Plains and those iron cock-like vassal kings, but now he has completely thought about it.

This time, as long as they took down Jiannu's lair, they could concentrate on dealing with the rebels. After the rebels were dealt with, they would be free to deal with those feudal lords. Why should he be in such a hurry.

His strategy at the moment is completely different from that of Chongzhen in history.

In history, Chongzhen transferred the army to the northwest for a while, and then transferred the army to Liaodong for a while, just like putting out a fire, where it was burning, it rushed there.

As a result, Chongzhen was played around by Jiannu and rebels. Liaodong was still rampant with rebels, and rebels were still rampant in the northwest.

Moreover, Jiannu became stronger and stronger, and even rushed to the capital to wreak havoc several times. The rebels also suppressed more and more, and the suppression became more and more prosperous. In the end, Daming was played to death like this.

His strategy is to catch Jiannu and go all the way to death, clean up Jiannu first, and then concentrate his forces to encircle and suppress the rebels!

At this moment, more than [-] troops have gathered inside and outside Shenyang City. Sun Chengzong and a group of civil servants and generals are already looking forward to the emperor's arrival. If the emperor does not allow them to welcome them from afar, they may all go to Shanhaiguan. .

Of course, not being able to welcome them from afar does not mean that they cannot welcome them. When Sun Chengzong heard that the emperor was coming, he immediately ordered more than [-] troops to line up in the south of the city. The neat formation lined up from the south gate of Shenyang City to the south bank of the Hun River. , the banner waving in the wind is almost like a forest.

Seeing the battle, Taichang couldn't help smiling at Sun Chengzong, who bowed to meet him, and said, "Children, didn't you say that you don't need to spend a lot of trouble to come here to welcome me?"

Sun Chengzong hurriedly cupped his hands and explained: "Your Majesty, I just let the army line up here instead of drills. It doesn't take much effort. The army is about to go out. Daily drills are essential. Stand here for a few minutes. An hour is considered practice, Your Majesty, don't you think so?"

Taichang nodded and said with a smile: "Well, there is a little truth in this statement. How about it, is there still enough food and grass?"

Sun Chengzong nodded repeatedly and said: "Enough, enough, there are tens of millions of acres of fertile land in Shenyang and Liaoyang, and the 20 troops can't eat so much even if they let their families go. There are still tens of millions of shi in stock at this moment." Well, it will be enough to eat until next year, not to mention, we can harvest another season in autumn. Your Majesty, if there is not enough food in other places, you can just say that we can support a few million stones, and it will not be a problem."

I'm not short of money right now.

Taichang shook his head again and again and said: "No, no, you'd better ask the military households to store more food to prepare for the famine. The weather can change as soon as it is said, and it is very abnormal."

Sun Chengzong hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

Taichang then said to Xu Ji who was on the side: "Qianli, how is it? How many sweet potatoes and potato seedlings are there? What is the harvest per mu now?"

Xu Ji hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Now the sweet potato and potato seedlings have reached thousands of acres. As for the harvest, the harvest last season has already exceeded [-] catties. This season, it is estimated that there should be [-] catties."

Taichang nodded slightly and said: "Well, that's right, prepare well. Once Jiannu is defeated and the rebels are wiped out, the imperial court will start to solve the famine in the northwest. Your sweet potatoes and potatoes are the reliance on solving the famine."

Xu Ji repeatedly nodded and said, "I understand."

The group walked and chatted like this, and soon came to the Dazheng Hall in the city.

As soon as the civil servants and military generals stood on both sides, Qi Taichang said without hesitation: "Map."

The two Jin Yiwei quickly unfolded the map from Shenyang to Jianzhou Acropolis in front of him.

The terrain of this line is indeed complicated, but the road leading to Jianzhou Acropolis is simple and clear. After exiting Fushun Pass, walk along the Hun River for a while until you reach the confluence of the Hun River and its tributary Suzi River. It is right to advance the Suzi River to the southeast. As long as you take down the Saerhu, Jiefan, Gule, and Maerdun villages along the coast, you will arrive at the Jianzhou Acropolis.

Taichang looked at the map carefully, and then said loudly: "Zhisheng, did Saerhu go to the Jianzhou Weicheng line to investigate clearly?"

Sun Chengzong cupped his hands without hesitation and said: "Wei Chen has sent scouts to investigate. Saerhu went to the Jianzhou Acropolis. There are four cottages, each of which is guarded by about [-] infantry. As for the Jiannu cavalry and Jianzhou The situation in the Weicheng City, I really can't detect it, and I ask the emperor to forgive me."

Thousands of infantry are nothing, Jianu's only hope is to rely on the mobility of the cavalry to win by surprise.

Taichang thought for a while, and then asked, "Have you tried driving the wheel to Suzihe, how is it?"

Sun Chengzong still cupped his hands without hesitation and said: "This humble minister has also tried it. If the wheel can only carry a few people, it can still drive to the vicinity of Jianzhou Weicheng, but it will not work if it is used to transport grain. The draft is too deep. , it is easy to bottom out.”

Well, that's it.

Taichang said decisively: "If Jiannu can't play any tricks, this battle will be lost. Let's gather a large army and push forward slowly. No matter how many tricks Jiannu has, it will be useless."

When the strength has reached a certain level, it is enough to run over it in a group. There is no need for any tactics at all, and it is easy to cause accidents when playing tactics.

Back then, Yang Gao deliberately played the tactic of dividing the army into four groups to avenge his personal revenge. As a result, a battle that must be won was played by this beast into an unprecedented fiasco!
Of course, Sun Chengzong understood this truth, what kind of tactics should he play when his strength has reached the level of crushing?
Just run over it!
Without hesitation, he cupped his hands and said, "The emperor is wise."

Taichang nodded slightly, and then said loudly: "That's it, gather [-] elite infantry, prepare well, and go out with me in three days, you can stay behind and guard."

This one.

Sun Chengzong thought for a while, then carefully cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, why don't I go with you, Liaodong can be guarded by elements."

Yuan Chonghuan?

This guy is really good at defending the city, and it is okay to be a governor in charge of logistics and so on, but once this guy becomes the governor of Ji Liao, it will not work, this guy will be so crazy that he doesn't know who he is.

Well, after this battle, let's transfer this guy back to the imperial court to serve as a servant of the Six Departments, so as to save this guy from messing around in Liaodong.

Taichang pondered for a while in his heart, then slowly nodded and said: "Okay, you go out with me, element, you stay and guard Liaodong."

When Yuan Chonghuan heard the words, he quickly cupped his hands and said, "My minister obeys the order."

Now he is indeed more honest, because there is Sun Chengzong on the top, and he can't be arrogant even if he wants to.
