I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

In the Palace of Qianqing, Zhu Youxiao was sitting on the throne, and Wei Zhongxian and others were lined up on the left and right
Your Majesty, the ministers of the Cabinet, the Military Aircraft Department, and the ministers of the six ministries were all present, and they were all listening attentively to the report read by Ye Xianggao, the chief minister of the cabinet.

"The governor of the Beijing camp first gathered hundreds of Krupp cannons to bombard the west gate of Sarhu. The Krupp cannons fired all, and the city wall of Sarhu fell. Then the four major battalions of Haixi and Haidong entered first, and Sichuan soldiers and Shizhu chieftain soldiers Followed closely. The sound of killing was loud for a while. Hersheli Sony, the commander of the Haixi Battalion, took the lead and killed Dudu, the leader of the white flag..."

"Nurhaci led two yellow flag elites to suddenly arrive. Sun Yingyuan's troops of Yaowu Army fought to the death and suffered more than half of the casualties. Then He Shun, the commander of Haixi Battalion, He Xiong, the commander of Jiading Battalion, and Cao Bianjiao, the sentry of Yaowu Army, led the rescue. Among them, Cao Bianjiao fought bravely. , broke through the three lines of defense of Jianlu, and no one could resist it for a while, and the morale of our army was greatly boosted..."

"Cao Bianjiao, He Xiong, and Heshun led their troops to attack and chase Nurhaci to Jiudaoling. Cao Bianjiao arrived first, He Xiong, and Heshun came later, and captured Nurhachi. The enemy army was defeated..."

"In the city of Sarhu, Daishan heard that Nurhachi was captured and wanted to give it a try. He first faked surrender to He Shixian's troops, and then wanted to wait for an opportunity to cause trouble. After being discovered by He Shixian, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, he killed him on the spot..."

"In this battle, our Ming Dynasty suffered more than [-] casualties, and annihilated all [-] elite soldiers of the Eight Banners of Jianlu. We captured the bandit leader Nurhaci alive, and beheaded the leader of the Xianghong Banner, Dabeile Daishan, Xiangbai Banner, and Erbeile Dudu.

The remaining 42 people from Fu, Beizi, and Jia Lazhen of each banner, and the remaining 40 people with Niu Luzhen; a total of 480 stones of grain and grass were seized from Saarhu and Jiefan City, more than [-] million taels of silver, and no armor or weapons. ·······”

"After this battle, the main force of Jianlu was wiped out. Our army took advantage of the victory and pursued it, and captured Jiefan City, Erdaoguan and other fortresses in one fell swoop. Now Jianlu has a city of Hetuala, and the defenders in the city are all old and weak. We will wait for the army to take a rest. Send your troops eastward and defeat Hetuala in one fell swoop..."

"Now the minister has ordered He Shixian to escort Nurhaci to Liaoyang. However, his son Huang Taiji fled to Horqin and still conspired to cause trouble. The other descendants, except Mang Gurtai and others, all fled to Hetuala. After the army attacks Hetuala, a decision will be made All of them were escorted to Beijing and awaited the imperial court's decision..."

"This battle is all due to His Majesty's providence, the internal funds, the training of new troops, the casting of cannons, the soldiers' lives, and the rewards and punishments. As a result, the situation in Liaodong was turned around, the built captives were wiped out, and the courts were plowed and the holes were cleared. From then on, the situation in Liaodong was stabilized, Your Majesty There is no need to worry about Liaodong!"

Ye Xianggao's voice was so resounding that everyone present felt as if they were immersed in the scene, and everyone was moved.

Especially Zhu Youxiao, when he heard the words "Worry-free Liaodong" behind him, a huge stone finally fell from his heart, and his whole body felt much lighter.

After reading out the victory report, Ye Xianggao, the chief minister of the cabinet, was also very emotional. The Liaodong problem was finally solved, and the imperial court's serious enemy Jianlu was finally put down.

Thinking of this, he solemnly put away the good news.Holding the good news in both hands, he knelt down to Zhu Youxiao with great respect and said:

"Your Majesty's grace, the soldiers used their lives to wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop and stabilize Liaodong. I congratulate your Majesty!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was moved, and then they all knelt down to Zhu Youxiao and said:

"I congratulate Your Majesty!"

The heavy burden that was weighing on him was finally lifted. Zhu Youxiao was now happier and happier than ever before.Seeing everyone congratulating him, he stood up immediately.

"Okay, okay, okay, this is all the result of the joint efforts of the monarch and his ministers. I will reward the soldiers well this time. Don't be stingy."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Ye Xianggao and Wang Yingjiao, the Minister of Household Affairs. "Ye Aiqing and Wang Aiqing must pay close attention to the rewards for the soldiers. The silver, land, official status, etc. promised before the war must be allocated in full, and there must be no omissions. The soldiers gave their lives to the court in exchange for the stability of the court. The imperial court must not let them down.”

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that the Ministry of Revenue has already allocated the salary to Liaodong in advance. In addition, the good news said that the Jianlu silver captured in Saerhu and other cities is completely enough to reward the soldiers. As for the land matter, the Ministry of Revenue has already known about Liaodong before. Dusi.

Now north of Shenyang, Jianlu slaughtered the Liao people, leaving thousands of miles uninhabited, so there is no need to worry about the land.Yang Lian even wrote several times about this matter, saying that the current immigration rate is too slow, and asked the court to speed up the pace, so that Kaitie, Sarhu, Hetuala and other places will be filled in the future. "

Wang Yingjiao, the Minister of Household Affairs on the side, heard the words and immediately echoed his words. He was relieved now.The problem of building captives had not been resolved before, and the annual Liao salary was urgent. The Ministry of Household Affairs was very busy every year in order to raise Liao salary.

But now this problem is finally gone. After the Jianlu are eliminated, Liao's salary can be used for his use. The work of the Ministry of Revenue will definitely be much easier in the future.

"Well, that's fine."

Zhu Youxiao nodded slowly after hearing this. After pacifying Liaodong, the next step is to govern Liaodong.

Liaodong is now in a state of complete waste. After years of war, infrastructure and population are lacking.In addition, it is now in the Little Ice Age and Liaodong is much colder than before, so the cost of construction is also much higher.

But in Zhu Youxiao's view, this is not a problem. Although Liaodong has all kinds of bad things, there is only one good thing, and that is the vast land, sparsely populated land and fertile land.

The temptation of land was too great for the people of the Ming Dynasty. If they had land, they would have a way to survive. If they had a way to survive, the people would not rebel.

Therefore, in Zhu Youxiao's plan, the next step in Liaodong's plan is to do a good job in development, fill the population, develop farmland, develop water conservancy, and establish prefectures and counties, so as to serve as a flood outlet for the population pressure of the Ming Dynasty and alleviate conflicts.

But this is all a long-term effort, Zhu You is not in a hurry.

The rewards of the soldiers cannot be delayed, and the rewards of the generals who won the great victory in Liaodong cannot be delayed either.Since the beginning of the Liaodong War, many guest armies from the Nine Borders have gone to Liaodong, and many have contributed, not to mention those from Jingying and others.

Therefore, it would be a bit simple to simply reward officials as usual.

So when Zhu Youxiao thought of this, he looked at Zhang Weixian, Minister of Military Aircraft Department, and Sun Shenxing, Minister of Civil Affairs.

"Sun Aiqing, Zhang Aiqing, the great victory in Liaodong all depended on the soldiers. Therefore, not only the soldiers must be rewarded, but the generals must also be rewarded. Otherwise, it will not be enough to show the importance of talents in the court. But as for how to reward, it is up to you two to decide."

"I will obey your orders!"

Although the emperor's words sounded light and gentle, everyone present immediately understood what he meant, and it seemed that he wanted to confer a new noble title. (End of chapter)
