I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

"Good good!"

"Xiong Tingbi did not live up to my expectations. The victory report said that Chen Ce, the commander-in-chief of the aid force to Liao, fought a decisive battle with the Jianlu army on the south bank of the Hun River. He used the cooperation of the chieftain soldiers with the Zhejiang camp and He Shixian to attack from front to back and defeated the Jianlu army."

"Our army lost 620 people, and 110 and 210 people were injured. We killed 54 and [-] Jian captives, including [-] Niulu'ezhen and six Jia La'ezhen, and captured more than [-] people. .”

"The old slave has seen that the situation is not right and has now withdrawn his troops. Xiong Tingbi is currently considering taking advantage of the power of victory to march to Fushun Guards Station to eliminate the threat of Jianlu to Shenyang."

Zhu Youxiao became more and more excited as he talked.

He finally won a big victory, and a stone fell from his heart.Regardless of whether Liu Yishen and others had opinions about Xiong Tingbi, they were all delighted with the news of the imperial court's victory and knelt down to congratulate him.

"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty. Such a great victory in Liaodong is the result of your majesty's deliberate and virtuous efforts after taking the throne. This battle can ensure that Liaodong will be peaceful for at least two years. I thank you on behalf of the people of Liaodong."

Ye Xianggao was the first to react and attributed this achievement to the emperor. When everyone heard this, they secretly thought that he was really cunning and knew how to save face.

"Your Majesty's hardworking servants have seen it with their eyes. In the past few months, they have allocated funds from internal funds, allocated artillery and firearms to Liaodong, and sent Yang Lian and others there. Your Majesty really deserves the first credit for this battle. "

When Wei Zhongxian saw Ye Xianggao taking the lead, he was not to be outdone and started to flatter him crazily.

Although Zhu Youxiao felt really good listening to everyone's flattery, he was not so stupid that he took the credit for himself.

"Okay, okay, let's discuss the matter. The soldiers of Liaodong bravely killed the enemy, and they deserve the most credit. Xiong Tingbi, Chen Ce, He Shixian and others, I will reward them well. No one will be left out. They all have merit! Hahaha."

As Zhu Youxiao spoke, he looked at the list of credits at the back. As expected, there were many familiar people in history who had contributed to this battle.

"Let's go, follow us back."

With that said, he took Liu Yishui, Wei Zhongxian and others back to Nuange.Now that I heard about the great victory for the first time, the atmosphere in Nuan Pavilion was no longer as serious as before, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the merit list sent by Xiong Tingbi, and then handed it to the cabinet.

"In the past, the imperial court had never won a field battle against Jianlu. This time, Chen Ce and others actually defeated Jianlu in a field battle, which shows that the imperial court now has the ability to attack Jianlu. It really makes me happy. What you just said is this It’s all my fault, I think you are telling lies.”

"If Xiong Tingbi hadn't gone to Liao alone to reorganize Liao affairs, the Liao affairs would have been ruined long ago. If it weren't for Chen Ce, Qin Bangping, Qi Jin and other guest troops who braved the bitter cold in Liaodong, came thousands of miles to help, and defended for years, this battle would have been defeated. If not Yang Lian fought against corruption in Liaodong Leiting, cooperated with Jin Yiwei to pick out spies, and then went to Shenyang alone, Shenyang would have been gone."

"So this is all the result of the efforts of the ministers and the courtiers here. Youdao is the emperor and he does not need hungry soldiers. With such a great victory, the court's rewards cannot be left behind. Those who deserve to be promoted will be rewarded. Don’t be stingy with rewards and titles that deserve titles. Have you ever understood?”

Liu Yishen, Ye Xianggao and others couldn't help but be moved when they heard that the emperor was so humble and never forgot the contributions of Liaodong ministers.

Just like a company, as long as an employee completes an order, the boss clearly rewards and punishes him, and he is not stingy with rewards and rewards. This also makes other employees praise the boss for his generosity and his efforts to do good things.

Liu Yishui and others also had the same mentality. From Xu Guangqi, to Yang Lian, and now to Xiong Tingbi, they have indeed made achievements, and the emperor's rewards have not been missed, which has further stimulated everyone's motivation.

"I understand that the cabinet will consider it carefully and then submit it to His Majesty for review."

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you first." After saying that, Zhu Youxiao also sat down, took a few sips of the new tea that Zhang Chang had just replaced, and immediately felt very relaxed.

Since taking the throne, this year's Battle of Liaoshen has been his tightest concern. Once defeated, Liaodong will be completely lost, and he can only defend the Guangning-Liaoxi Corridor.

Although many people in later generations said that it was enough to defend the Liaoxi Corridor, it cost less and was easier to defend.

The problem is that in history, Liaodong was lost, and the Ming Dynasty also exclusively defended the Liaoxi Corridor, but the cost of Liao's salary did not decrease, or even increased.At the same time, it gave the Jianlu the initiative. Especially after Huang Taiji attacked Mongolia, the Jianlu could bypass the Liaoxi Corridor and sneak attack on the capital area through Xuanda, and continuously plunder the population and food to provide blood transfusions to the Jianlu.

Even the bloody bull Daming, after being bled like this five times, finally couldn't stand it anymore and was destroyed by internal and external attacks.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao had set his goal since the beginning of his accession to the throne, which was to lock the Jianqi to the north of Shenyang and prevent them from gaining any land or food. At the same time, he would learn from Mao Wenlong's method in history and station troops in Liaonan, Zhenjiang and other places. Contain Jianlu.

When Jianlu went south to attack the Ming Dynasty or west to Mongolia, he followed Mao Wenlong's example and restrained and attacked the rear in Zhenjiang and North Korea.

Jianlu attacked North Korea and Zhenjiang in the east, and then led troops from Mongolia and Shenyang to attack Sarhu City to contain Hou Jin.

Anyway, it is to make it impossible to take care of the head and tail at the same time. If you pay attention to the head, you will not take care of the bottom, and it will be difficult to control the left and right sides.

With such a large population, the Jianlu people cannot grow enough food to eat. They only need to wait a few years and encounter a severe drought and natural disaster, and they will be self-defeating.

And this plan can also be adjusted. If it is strong, it can also encroach on Jianlu from the north to the south bit by bit.

But the premise of all this is to win this battle. Only if he wins, can he make arrangements calmly and have more suppression on the Jianlu. Also, as a supporter of Xiong Tingbi, his prestige will be greatly improved, and he will be able to do things better in the future. much easier.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao is quite satisfied with the result now, and he can make arrangements calmly next.

"Now look at these memorials to impeach Xiong Tingbi. Some people actually say that Xiong Tingbi collaborates with the enemy, while others say that Xiong Tingbi is extremely corrupt. If Xiong Tingbi really collaborates with the enemy, then the price for Nurhaci will be a bit high.

Therefore, these people must be carefully investigated and no one should be let go. It is also stipulated that in the future, when officials impeach others, they must have real evidence. If they just listen to the wind and rain, they will be slandered at will, and they will be fined at least, dismissed and never hired. "

Such a punishment was too severe, and everyone felt that something was wrong when they heard the words. However, it was indeed too much for these censors to fabricate information indiscriminately in order to criticize Xiong Tingbi.

It would be okay if Xiong Tingbi was defeated. Now that Xiong Tingbi had defeated Jianlu, if the emperor used this reason again, they would have nothing to say.

"I will obey your orders!"

"That's good. The rewards for the people in Liaodong must be carefully considered and not taken lightly. The handling of Yan Guan will be as I said. Let them go to more places to inspect, and the impeachment must be well-founded. Liu Yishen, are you Chief Minister of the Cabinet, please take charge of this matter."

After saying that, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and let them go about their business.
