Borrow the day to change the day

Zhong Jinwei took a look at Sun Chengzong's memorial, and found that Sun Chengzong's strategy was to build the city and gradually compress the space for building prisoners.

The memorial states that the first step is to rebuild the Daling River City, and it states that as long as the Daling River City is built, Ning Jin will be more secure, and the fertile land in the wild can be reclaimed and the burden on the court can be reduced.

In the memorial, it is also specifically mentioned that using cement to build is not only strong, but also faster.

Zhong Jinwei thinks this idea is also possible, and now the treasury should be able to support this plan with its own efforts.Even the money originally used for Tianjin Wei can be used for this plan first. After all, Tianjin Wei has no plans for large-scale construction for the time being, and at most a port will be built.

But why was Emperor Chongzhen dissatisfied, and even suppressed it for many days?

He closed the memorial and wanted to give it to Wen Tiren, but he shook his head as a signal, obviously he already knew the content of the memorial.

So, he returned it to Wang Cheng'en on the side, and then asked Emperor Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, Mr. Sun's method is considered safe. I don't know why Your Majesty wants to suppress it?"

Emperor Chongzhen saw that Zhong Jinwei didn't understand, so he explained to him: "The front line of Guanning has never won a battle with Jianlu in the field, and even dare not leave the city unless forced to do so. In this way, if the construction of Dalinghe City is completed, Afterwards, Jianlu besieged but did not attack, and then sent troops into the Ningjin line, or to Shanhaiguan, so wouldn’t the reclaimed fertile land be in vain for Jianlu?”

Zhong Jinwei thought, Emperor Chongzhen's words were not unreasonable.In history, it seems that after the Daling River was rebuilt, it was besieged to death.

But he thought again, history has already been changed by himself, and this result may not necessarily happen again.

Historically, when Jianlu captured Dalinghe City, he also mobilized the power of the whole country and surrounded it for many months, until the city ran out of food.

At that time, they didn't have to worry about the front line of Denglai, or the emptiness behind.

But it's different now. It can even be said that Jianlu is more worried about Denglai Ming's army than he is about Ningjin's first-line Ming army.

Because Ning Jinming's army hid in the tortoise shell, only defending but not attacking; while Denglaiming's army attacked frequently, causing Jianlu not only to lose a lot of personnel, but also food.

Thinking of this, Zhong Jinwei said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty's words are reasonable, why don't you let Lord Sun prove that they have the power to fight in the field, at least send troops out to harass the Jian captives from time to time, and you can't just rely on the city to hold on, then you can agree to him The city is used as a springboard to gradually compress the space for Jianlu."

After hearing Zhong Jinwei's suggestion, Emperor Chongzhen fell silent for a while, thinking about gains and losses.

After resting for a while, Wen Tiren felt much better. He also said, "Marquis Zhongxing, although the progressive method of building the city is safe, it will cost a lot, so we must consider it?"

When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he turned to Wen Tiren and said, "Lord Wen, the fee is indeed high, but as long as it can effectively prevent Jianlu from going south again, it is still worth it. Besides, the money is at most used in advance."

Although Emperor Chongzhen was thinking, he was also listening to the words of the two courtiers.

At this time, upon hearing Zhong Jinwei's words, he asked curiously: "Why did Master Zhong say that the money for building the city was just used in advance?"

As soon as Zhong Jinwei heard the question from Emperor Chongzhen, he turned his head and explained: "Your Majesty, there has been a plan before, and the North American route needs a large supply station. And it is best to start from Vladivostok, saving the large section of the sea route on the Korean Peninsula. Then land On the way up, supply points are also needed, and cities need to be built. Therefore, Daling River City can also be built as a supply point along the way."

Although Zhong Jinwei's explanation is not very convincing, but considering all the factors, it will be acceptable.

Emperor Chongzhen thought of this, turned his head to look at Wen Tiren, and asked, "What does Wen Qing mean?"

Wen Tiren had also been thinking about it just now, and when Emperor Chongzhen asked, he replied: "Your Majesty, I agree to let Ning Jin front line prove that he has the ability to rely on the city and build the field force, and then he can agree to his request."

Seeing that Wen Tiren said the same thing, Emperor Chongzhen agreed, "So, I will reply to Master Sun according to this meaning."

That is to say, Guan Ning's front line has to prove it to the imperial court, and then they will get military expenses. The imperial court will no longer support Guan Ning's front line unconditionally.

After discussing this matter, Wen Tiren and Zhong Jinwei can finally go home and rest.

However, when Zhong Jinwei walked out of the Forbidden City and just arrived at the Wumen Gate, Gu Baichuan presented him with a letter: "This is a letter from Denglai's messenger to Lord Hou."

Zhong Jinwei was a little strange when he heard it, but after thinking about it, he thought it was a letter from Yan Yingyuan's family, so he accepted it with a smile.When I opened it, I found that it was a letter from Zhang Xianzhong to the fourth elementary school.

He immediately smiled and called Li Dingguo and Li Wenxiu who were following behind him and said, "Your adoptive father has sent you a letter."

After finishing speaking, he handed the letter to the two children who looked surprised.

After studying for a period of time, the two primary schools were able to understand the letter written by Zhang Xianzhong.

After reading it, Li Dingguo praised with surprise, joy and envy: "The father-in-law is amazing, he killed so many Jian captives! I will be like my father-in-law sometime, and I can go to the battlefield and contribute to the country."

Zhong Jinwei smiled when he heard this, and said to them, "Go to Beijing Camp and call the other two back. Everyone will write a letter tonight and send it to your adoptive father, and also report your income."

Seeing the two children riding away happily, Zhong Jinwei nodded slightly in his heart.They are nephews of the marquis, with a bright future, but they still sincerely show their joy for the bottom-level adoptive father. These children are not bad!

Zhong Jinwei thought about writing a letter to Yan Yingyuan, telling him about the precautions of the Southeast Navy, and asking him to pay more attention to Zheng Zhilong.

Besides, under the harassment of Lu Xiangsheng, the Liaodong Jianlu had already revealed a food gap, and began to restrict the Han slaves on the basis of the original small amount of food.

At this time, in the lobby of the traitor Fan Wencheng's house, he was sitting in the upper seat looking at the three people kneeling on the ground and said, "You must know that my master has a kind heart so that you can eat and dress warmly."

"The master is kind, and the slave is grateful." One of the three kneeling on the ground responded immediately.

The other two were obsequious, and seemed to be talking, but they couldn't really hear it.

Fan Wencheng nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "Master, I am also quite satisfied with your performance. Therefore, I don't need you to do the work in the house for the time being. I have a task for you, master."

It was the same person who looked up at Fan Wencheng just now, and asked for instructions: "If you have something to do, just ask the master, and the slave will try his best to do it."

"Fan Daxuan, you are the most clever person, master, I will give you a task, help master to find out if there are any Han slaves who can forge cannons near Shengjing."

Fan Daxuan, no, it was actually Tang Daxuan who asked with surprise when he heard it: "Can you move around?"

He, Gu Mancang, and Monkey just happened to be rewarded to Fan Wencheng by the slave chieftain Huang Taiji as compensation, to comfort Fan Wencheng for losing his mother and taking his wife.

Their surnames were changed at Fan Wencheng's request, and he asked them to call themselves slaves, while he himself was a master.

It seems that he has been called a slave in front of Jianlu for a long time, so he comforts his vanity at home.
