I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 381: Strategic Conception of Jianlu
"Third is the troops. The Eight Banners of Jianlu have only more than [-] men at full strength. This is the strength that has been expanded after this year's defeat.

Many of them are new soldiers, or savage Jurchens plundered from the north, and their combat power is far inferior to that before.When the time comes, North Korea and Inner Khalkha will use troops on both sides, and they will also have to defend Kaiyuan, Fushun and other places. How can it be possible with this small amount of troops? "

Xiong Tingbi's analysis made Yang Lian secretly admire him.It seems that Xiong Tingbi knows the situation of Jianlu very well.

"This analysis is in-depth, and according to this analysis, we only need to prepare the army for war and wait for Jianlu to send troops."

Xiong Tingbi nodded, then shook his head.

"Having said that, our Ming Dynasty also has many disadvantages. For example, the troops such as He Shixian and Chen Ce who went north are not afraid of building captives despite their strong combat power.

But if we want to conquer Kaiyuan, Fushun and other places and fight Jianlu head-on, we are not fully prepared yet.

Furthermore, North Korea is weak. Currently, it only has Cao Wenzhao's [-] elite troops, which means they have more than enough defense but not enough offensive power.

If we really want to use troops, we still need to gather troops and horses here. Please ask your Majesty to issue an order to mobilize guest troops from all nine sides to increase the strength of the troops and send troops to Shenyang and North Korea to wait for opportunities. "

After Xiong Tingbi said this, he stopped talking and picked up the teacup to drink tea.Yang Lian also frowned, looking at the map of Liaodong on the table, and slowly thinking about Xiong Tingbi's strategy just now.

His intention was very obvious. He still followed the original plan, waited for work, stayed calm, did not take the initiative to attack, and waited for Jianlu to make a mistake.

Now that Jianlu has experienced successive defeats, he will definitely think twice about attacking Shenyang as recklessly as before.Because in the face of the Ming Dynasty's pursuit and interception, we can only hope to open up a new situation in Inner Khalkha or North Korea.

But in this case, they will fall into another trap of the Ming Dynasty. In the direction of Inner Khalkha, Kaiyuan Fushun, and North Korea, as long as the Jianlu move, the Ming Dynasty will attack from the other two directions.

With Jianlu's strength and breadth of territory, there is no way he could withstand such an attack. That might be the best time to deal with Jianlu at that time, that is, take advantage of his illness and kill him.

"This is a good idea, to stop with silence. However, there is no need to worry about the strength of the troops. Your Majesty is currently training the new army in the Beijing Camp. When the time comes, you can request Your Majesty to dispatch the Beijing Camp to come for reinforcements. In this way, there will be sufficient troops."

Xiong Tingbi nodded and said yes, he knew the establishment of the Beijing camp. The emperor spent a lot of money to build the most powerful elite soldiers. They were equipped with a large number of Krupp cannons, which made him very envious, but he just didn't know how to fight. How's your strength?

"This is feasible. I have long heard that the Sixth Army of the Beijing Camp is equipped with close to a hundred Kru cannons. With the help of such artillery, how can the Jianlu body withstand this rain of bullets and artillery?"

So Xiong Tingbi immediately made a plan. On the one hand, Xiong Tingbi discussed with the Taijis of the Ongji Tribe whether they could seek support; at the same time, he wrote a letter to Wang Huazhen, the governor of Guangning, asking him to contact Lin Dan Khan to see if he could persuade him to send troops to Neikha. Erkha.

And Yang Lian was not idle either. Apart from explaining Xiong Tingbi's ideas to the emperor in secret, he continued to implement work-for-relief for the rest of the time, and at the same time sent people to the mouth of the Liaohe River to prepare for the establishment of a government.
-
Following the actions of Xiong Tingbi and others, news about North Korea and Liaodong quickly fermented.

The good news from North Korea and the report from Liaodong arrived in front of Zhu Youxiao's court very quickly, which surprised Zhu Youxiao.

I didn't expect that things in North Korea would be so clean and settled without any big disturbances. It seems that Lord Gwanghae is indeed unpopular.

Moreover, there is another important piece of information in the victory report between Cao Wenzhao and Mangui, which is because Li Erzhan and others fled to Jianlu.

North Korean general Li Shu and others were worried that Jianlu would help Li Erzhan take revenge. At the same time, in order to repay Li Erzhan's favor, Shixiang asked the Ming Dynasty to station troops in North Korea to resist Jianlu's intrusion.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel overjoyed when he saw this. As long as troops could be stationed, it would be easier to control North Korea.

However, the imperial court should not agree to Li Shu's request at once. He should not be too hasty or his intentions were too obvious. It would be better to make some excuses.

Therefore, he told Li Shu and others that our country was willing to help them garrison troops in North Korea.However, considering that the transportation of grain and grass is very troublesome, if it is really sincere, it will have to supply grain and grass to the army in North Korea. This is the first condition.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pick up a red pen and write red marks on the title book, and ordered the cabinet to discuss with the Ministry of Rites to quickly canonize the crown prince of Lord Ayang, Li Hao, as the leader of Korea. The General Soldier of North Korea, in charge of North Korean officers and soldiers.

The second condition requires Li Shu and others to open the sea and port to Ming Dynasty ships, allow free trade without obstruction, and rent Jeju Island if possible.

"He Ning, send this to Wang Boyu and ask him to submit it to the cabinet and discuss it with Liu Yishen and others quickly."

He Ning is not surprised by this. Now the emperor is spending the summer in Xiyuan, accompanied by the two supervisors, Wang Boyu and Wei Zhongxian.However, the emperor attached great importance to Wang Boyu, and many memorials were handed over to Wang Boyu for criticism, which made Wei Zhongxian very jealous of Wang Boyu.

But Zhu Youxiao didn't care about this, and even said that he was very willing to see this scene. This was exactly the purpose of promoting Wang Boyu, to contain Wei Zhongxian.

After he finished approving the red papers, he casually opened Yang Lian and Xiong Tingbi's question book, which contained detailed records of Jianlu's intention to release Zai Sai and return home, as well as the countermeasures discussed by Xiong Tingbi and Yang Lian.After reading it, Zhu Youxiao felt that it was very feasible. The ideas of these two people coincided with his plan.

Although the Korean War has been calmed down, there is still a war in the southwest that needs to be dealt with. The southwest provinces have gathered in Guizhou and are about to start a war.It would be extremely inappropriate to start the Liaodong War again at this time.Therefore, in Zhu Youxiao's plan, stability is still the main priority in Liaodong. As Xiong Tingbi said, the initiative now lies with the Ming Dynasty. It is not the Ming Dynasty that should be anxious, but Jianlu.

As for the dispatch of troops they mentioned, Zhu Youxiao also thinks it is feasible. Now that the Beijing camp is organized and trained, it will happen to be sent to Liaodong next year. Once the southwest war is over, we can start operations in Liaodong.

It was just that Zhu You had a problem with Yang Lian's request. Yang Lian asked the court to quickly send people to establish a new county at the mouth of the Liaohe River and dispatch county magistrates.

Setting up a county at the mouth of the Liaohe River has always been Zhu Youxiao's idea for the Bohai Economic Zone. As long as a port is set up again, since it is located in the center of Liaodong, it will be of great help to southern Liaoning, eastern Liaoning and western Liaoning. The Liaohe River can also be used to carry out maritime transportation. .

By then, sea trade, land trade, and grain and grass transportation will be extremely convenient, and they will be an important part of the Bohai Economic Circle he envisioned. Therefore, the candidates must be chosen carefully.

This person must be courageous, capable, and responsible.After all, there is a new county there, and things are complicated and full of waste. Going there will definitely not be a blessing, but a suffering.

He originally wanted to send Sun Yuanhua. After all, he had made great efforts both in Licaolan Field and in the development of the Krug Cannon. Now it was actually acceptable to go out to serve.

But after Zhu Youxiao thought about it again and again, he still felt that it was inappropriate. Although this person was very accomplished in Western learning, his ability was not necessarily outstanding, and he was not good at controlling him. Otherwise, there would not have been the Dengzhou Mutiny in history, which caused the Ming Dynasty to suffer hardships. All the artillery units returned to Jianlu.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao twisted the beads in his hands and began to think about who was more suitable. Suddenly, he thought of a candidate.

"Zhang Chang, go to the Supervisor of Ceremonies and call Lu Xiangsheng over."

Zhang Chang was ordered to go out immediately. Today was a double day, so Lu Xiangsheng was on duty at the military aircraft office, so it was convenient to call him over.

The candidate Zhu Youxiao considered was Lu Xiangsheng. As the top scholar in Enke, Lu Xiangsheng naturally attracted Zhu Youxiao's attention. He had been working in the Military Aircraft Department and the Hanlin Academy for three months since joining the job.

Sun Chengzong and Shen Guan also praised Lu Xiangsheng to Zhu Youxiao many times, saying that he was quick in thinking and knowledgeable. Since they came to the Military Aircraft Department, the efficiency of the Military Aircraft Department's paperwork has become much more efficient.

After Zhu Youxiao heard these words, although he did not believe them all, he also knew that Lu Xiangsheng's ability was indeed outstanding, otherwise he would not have been selected as the top pick.

"Your Majesty, Lu Xiangsheng is here."

After a while, Zhu Youxiao, who was leisurely reading "Tongjian", saw Zhang Chang and Lu Xiangsheng walking in.

"Lu Xiangsheng, compiled by Weichen Hanlin Academy, comes to see His Majesty, Your Majesty, His Majesty's greetings."

"Get up."

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao put down the "Tongjian" in his hand and looked at Lu Xiangsheng who was standing with interest.

"Lu Aiqing, how have you been doing in the military aircraft department during this time? Mr. Sun Ge always praises you in front of me."

Lu Xiangsheng still doesn't know what the emperor meant by calling him.Now when I saw the emperor suddenly talking about his work, I felt confused, but I still bowed and said:

"Old Sun Ge is so ridiculous. The military aircraft department is an important place for the military and the country. The humble ministers are stupid. When they were first on duty there, they were afraid of betraying the trust of His Majesty and the elders. Fortunately, the other colleagues saw that the humble minister was new and showed their support. Help, so I can get started quickly."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Lu Xiangsheng's frightened look, waved his hands and said:
"You are just too humble. I have always known that Teacher Sun is strict and there are not many people who can praise him. This shows that you still have some real talents.

The Military Aircraft Department is the place where the imperial court conducts military discussions, and there are many textbooks on it. I asked you to go to the Military Aircraft Department in the hope that you can learn about government affairs and get started quickly.But no matter how powerful your talents are, they must govern the people. If they cannot benefit the people, all this is empty talk. This is also the purpose of calling you here. "

Lu Xiangsheng was stunned when he heard this, and then he immediately reacted.

The emperor said that he was ready to reuse himself. When he thought of this, he immediately bowed and said:

"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness. Mr. Sun Ge also often gives me instructions to do my best to repay Your Majesty's kindness. I will always keep this in mind."

"Okay, okay, let's forget about the compliments and let's take a look at this question book."

Zhu Youxiao immediately interrupted Lu Xiangsheng's compliments, and instead signaled Zhang Chang to hand Lu Xiangsheng the inscription on Yang Lian's request for the imperial court to dispatch a new county at the mouth of the Liaohe River to Lu Xiangsheng.
