Chapter 304 Major Events in Liaodong (Please subscribe)

"His Majesty Saint Ann!"

In Dongnuan Pavilion, everyone from the Military Aircraft Department and the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet Liu Yishen and others have gathered here, waiting for Zhu Youxiao's arrival.

"Get up, you should have read the good news about Liaodong."

"I have all read the title book one by one. I have won another battle in Liaodong before it has been four months. Now that the Jianlu have suffered heavy losses one after another, they will not dare to invade our frontier easily again in the future. I congratulate your Majesty!"

After Liu Yishen and others finished speaking in unison, they stood up again and congratulated Zhu Youxiao.

"Haha, this is also the credit of the frontline soldiers who fought bravely to kill the enemy. The cabinet must carefully formulate rewards. Those who deserve to be given official titles and those who deserve to be promoted to knights. Don't let the soldiers feel cold!"

Liu Yishen immediately nodded when he heard this. After the last victory at Hunhe, they naturally knew that the emperor was very concerned about rewards.They also specifically asked Yang Lian and others to preside over the distribution, because they were afraid that some people below would enrich their own pockets, so they would definitely treat this kind of thing with caution.

"I understand, Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Zhu Youxiao was naturally very happy about this great victory, but just because it was such a great victory, he would not have called so many people here to discuss the matter.

"I have called you here today because there are actually two things. As for what they are, I believe you also know. Let's talk about the problem of Nekalkha first. Now Yue Tuo and Horqin actually raided Bayue in Nekalkha. Special Department.

According to a report from Liaodong, Lindan Khan of Chahar had sent troops to support, and the Zalut tribe of Nekalka promised to prepare to join forces with them to deal with the Jianlu.This will be another fierce battle. No matter who wins, it will not be very good for our Ming Dynasty. "

As a time traveler, Zhu Youxiao naturally knew how Huang Taiji, who was a captive in history, detoured through Mongolia and repeatedly raided and plundered the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, he is unwilling to allow the Jianlu to attack Inner Khalkha. However, the situation in Liaodong has just improved, and he has more than enough to defend and not enough to attack.

With the current strength, there is nothing that can be done to help Inner Khalkha. They can only send a message now to persuade the most powerful Jishit tribe to take refuge south.

Then he sent people to raid Yilushi. It would be great to be able to win a battle in such a situation. Zhu Youxiao would naturally not criticize anything.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. As the saying goes when two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. I think the Jianlu attacked Nekalka first, and they lost the hearts of the people. And Nekalkha, with the help of Lindan Khan's elite cavalry, has a good position in the hearts of the people. I think it's better to come here." Jianlu will definitely be defeated.

As long as Yue Tuo is defeated and Jianlu loses the main force of the two banners, his vitality will be severely damaged. When the time comes, he will definitely send envoys to sue for peace and obey our court again, and the crisis in Liaodong will naturally be resolved. "

Seeing that the emperor was full of worries, Ye Xianggao took the lead to stand up and analyze the situation for Zhu Youxiao.

His student Wang Huazhen was the governor of Guangning, with Chahar to the north. He had previously bribed Lin Dan Khan with a large amount of money, and successfully attracted Lin Dan Khan to follow Jin Bu.Therefore, Wang Huazhen has great trust in Mongolia's strength and will praise Lin Dan Khan every time he writes to Ye Xianggao.

He said that he had strong soldiers and horses. As long as he had his support and sent troops, there was no need to worry about building captives. This made Ye Xianggao have a much better impression of Lin Dan Khan. He felt that with the help of Lin Dan Khan this time, Nei Khalkha could not lose at all. .

"Ye Ge Lao's words are wrong. Now Yue Tuo has taken the lead. According to the report from Liaodong, Lin Dan Khan had said as early as the first month that he would send troops to assist Inner Khalkha, but he has delayed sending troops now.

The Art of War says: Soldiers are valuable and quick. It seems that he does not want to help Nekalkha by delaying like this.Lin Dan Khan's elite troops have not yet arrived, but Yue Tuo's troops have already begun to take action.

Your Majesty, I think the court should have made plans early. If Yue Tuo defeats Inner Khalkha, then Jianlu will be in a great position in the northwest and will be connected with Horqin. At that time, Jianlu's actions can be It is not limited to Shenyang. "

As soon as Ye Xianggao finished speaking, Sun Chengzong immediately stood up and refuted.

He scorned Wang Huazhen's heavy bribery of Lin Dan Khan. Mongolia was as untrustworthy as Jianlu. At the same time, he also had great doubts about his strength. He simply did not believe that he would really save Inner Khalkha.

Zhu Youxiao was silent for a long time after listening. He put his hand on the throne and tapped the handle lightly, still thinking about their words in his mind.

Now when two tigers compete, one of them will be injured. For Zhu Youxiao, he hopes that Inner Khalkha can win. The question is, even with the help of Lin Dan Khan, can Inner Khalkha win?
His attitude is very pessimistic about this. History has proven that none of the current Mongolian tribes can fight.Lin Dan Khan now seems to be a talented and strategist, but in the end he was beaten by Huang Taiji and died in Qinghai. He had never won against Jianlu.

Therefore, Yue Tuo, who has seized the opportunity, is likely to win a decisive victory over the Nekarka Zatru tribe in the next battle.

But Daming was helpless in the face of this situation, with no solution at all.Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help feeling helpless. In the final analysis, his strength was not enough.He didn't have enough strength to intervene in this battle, so he could only watch from a distance and secretly report the news.

"No matter who wins this battle, it will not be very good for the Ming Dynasty. If Mongolia wins, it will definitely stimulate the ambition of Lin Dan Khan, and the court's demand for tribute will be even more prosperous. If Jianlu wins, as Sun Aiqing said, I am afraid that not only It’s just that Shenyang is facing the enemy.”

After hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, everyone nodded and felt that it made sense. Only the British Duke Zhang Weixian felt that everyone's consideration was still lacking. Seeing this, he quickly expressed his suggestions:
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. So what if the Jianlu capture Inner Khalkha. There are hundreds of thousands of people in Inner Khalkha. Even if they are all swallowed up by the Jianlu, it will not be a benefit to the Jianlu now, but a trouble.

Even if there were many cattle and sheep in Inner Khalkha, it would not be enough for Jianlu to eat.According to the advance report, Jianlu's food plan will last until June or July. If Yue Tuo wins a great victory with the support of cattle and sheep, it will not last until August or September at most. By then, Jianlu's food and grass will be in short supply.When the time comes, it’s not time for us to be anxious, but it’s time to be anxious. "

As soon as the British Duke said these words, Sun Chengzong immediately stood up and responded:
"The British thought too simply. When the autumn harvest comes in September, the food problem of Jianlu will be alleviated."

"So what about the harvest? This year there is a bad harvest in Liaodong. Liaodong has repeatedly reported to the court asking for relief. Liaodong is not having a good time, and the life of Jianlu is even more difficult. Even if the grain is harvested in September, it will not be able to sustain the whole winter. The so-called greed is not enough. Xiang, when the time comes, the Jianlu will definitely become ill and resort to medical treatment in order to survive, and they will take the initiative to plunder. We can just wait for work and slowly weaken them."

Hearing Zhang Weixian's words, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

What Zhang Weixian said makes sense. The current Jianlu were not the ones who conquered Liaoshen in history. In history, the Jianlu conquered Liaoshen and occupied Liaodong, allowing them to rapidly expand their territory. They also massacred the Han people and plundered food, allowing them to The food crisis has been alleviated.

But now, their territory has not expanded much, but a lot of people have died.If the Inner Khalkha is swallowed, the pressure on food and grass will increase sharply. Even if they only want food and grass without people, it will not be enough to support them through the winter. By then, the old slaves will also worry about their livelihood.

"In this case, we have to prevent the rebels from plundering North Korea."

Everyone present was extremely smart, and they immediately understood the key when Zhang Weixian explained it.Regardless of whether Jianlu wins or loses, the food problem can only be said to be suspended but not solved.Now there are only two ways to plunder food, one is the Ming Dynasty, and the other is North Korea.

Needless to say, the Ming Dynasty, not to mention Nurhachi's successive defeats, whether he dared to try again.Even if they come to fight, as long as they are prepared, they will not be afraid of Jianlu coming to attack. I believe Lao Nu has also considered this.

So for Jianlu, North Korea was a suitable place.So after hearing what Zhang Weixian said, everyone immediately figured it out.

"Yes, if the old slave still coveted Liaodong after the Battle of Puhe, but after He Shixian's great victory, at least the old slave has some concerns. If he doesn't dare to attack, then he will definitely turn The idea is to attack North Korea first."

After saying this, everyone looked at Zhu Youxiao, seemingly listening to his opinion.

"I remember that Xiong Tingbi also said that he would unite North Korea to deal with Jianlu, and the cabinet also supported this matter. Now it seems that Jianlu's intention to attack North Korea is obvious, so I should remind you in advance, after all, he is a vassal of the imperial court , cannot be ignored.”

Everyone had different expressions after hearing this. Although it was reasonable for the emperor to do this, what was the use of reminding North Korea? Even if North Korea knew about it, could they still stop Jianlu with their strength?
"Your Majesty, Xiong Tingbi once suggested garrisoning troops in Zhenjiang (Dandong) in order to prevent Jianlu from invading North Korea. It has been more than five months now, and the garrison has grown in size. Yi Chen is considering whether to continue garrisoning troops in Zhenjiang in case Jianlu attacks. Once they enter North Korea, the imperial court can send troops from Zhenjiang to cut off their retreat, making it impossible for them to return."

Zhang Weixian felt that the emperor's approach was a bit inappropriate. After thinking for a while, he gave it up and expressed the hope that the imperial court would send troops from Zhenjiang when the time came.

But Zhu Youxiao shook his head after hearing this.

"Why sacrifice the near and seek the far away? If Jianlu attacks North Korea from the east, we will take the initiative to attack Fushun and Tieling and suppress Jianlu so that he can't care about each other. As for North Korea, we should consider the long term. After all, it is a vassal within the imperial court. We cannot send troops at will. We must It is not too late to wait until North Korea asks for help before planning."

"Your Majesty, if Korea is to be ravaged by the rebels, its lives will be ruined. I'm afraid that it will be forced to turn to the rebels by then, and it will be too late to send troops by then."

Zhang Weixian and others immediately became anxious upon hearing this. Originally, Xiong Tingbi suggested stationing troops in Zhenjiang just to build a captive army to attack North Korea. Now why does the emperor have to wait until North Korea asks for help after building a captive army to attack North Korea before sending troops? What's the point of garrisoning troops in Zhenjiang?

This made them puzzled. Sun Chengzong and others also felt that it was unreasonable and prepared to persuade the emperor to think twice.

But Zhu Youxiao didn't take it seriously and directly waved his hand to tell them to stop talking.

"Okay, this matter has been settled. Let's discuss Yang Lian's proposal."
