Borrow the day to change the day

Zhong Jinwei stayed in Haizhou City for less than three days before returning to the capital.This time, on the way back to Niuzhuang post, there was no Jianlu escort, and he seemed a little "lonely", but the speed was much faster.

But before Zhong Jinwei returned to the capital, he went to Jinzhou to visit Yuan Keli, the governor of Liaodong.

At this time, Yuan Keli's wind and cold were cured under the care of the imperial doctor.Seeing Hou Zhongxing coming to visit, he hurried out of the mansion to greet him.

For Marquis Zhongxing, he has been friends with him for a long time.Not only because Hou Zhongxing was rumored to be a god who descended to earth, he was very attractive to the believer, but also Yuan Keli admired Zhong Jinwei's record against Shang Jianlu.

However, when he saw Zhong Jinwei, he was a little disappointed.Without seeing Zhong Jinwei's immortal demeanor, he feels like an ordinary person.

However, he soon discovered many different things about Zhong Jinwei, such as his address to others, his attitude to his subordinates, and his views on some things, which surprised Yuan Keli.

But Zhong Jinwei came to Yuan Keli, not to chat with him.After he explained his purpose, Yuan Keli was taken aback.

But after Zhong Jinwei gave him a detailed analysis, he supported Zhongxinghou's decision.

After Zhong Jinwei was confirmed by Yuan Keli, he bid farewell to the extremely enthusiastic governor of Liaodong, and hurried back to the capital.

As soon as he arrived in the capital, he handed over the decree to Emperor Chongzhen, and at the same time reported the process of his trip.

Emperor Chongzhen was very happy to hear that the trip to Liaodong went smoothly and that Jianlu had escaped from Haizhou. He said to Zhong Jinwei with emotion: "Master Zhong, now Jianlu is finally afraid."

Zhong Jinwei smiled, and then played to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the current situation in Ming Dynasty must speed up the feudalism of the vassal kings in North America. To speed up this pace, it is best to solve the Jianlu as soon as possible and restore the peace of Liaodong. In this way, the road in Liaodong can be If it is repaired as soon as possible, Vladivostok can also be built as soon as possible.”

"I know, but isn't the number of the new army not enough? It will expand to 2 people to fight Liaoyang." After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen became a little anxious again, complaining a little bit.

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen's restless look, Zhong Jinwei immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan to spend a year preparing for a decisive battle with Jianlu next year, at least to capture Shenyang, the puppet capital of Jianlu."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately sat up straight and asked energetically, "Master Zhong, can you really do it?"

After the words were asked, he immediately remembered the previous events, and couldn't help asking a little discouraged: "But the imperial court can't spend so much money to reorganize enough new troops!"

Zhong Jinwei shook his hands with a smile, and said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, I know that you don't need so much money, and the planned [-] yuan for the new army will be enough."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately asked: "Really? There are a lot of Jianlu!"

Zhong Jinwei stopped playing around with Emperor Chongzhen, and explained directly: "Your Majesty, this is what I think. The reorganization of the [-] new troops will be changed to [-], and the cost of the remaining [-] new troops will be used to equip the frontier troops."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he frowned, and he asked a little suspiciously: "Master Zhong, the reorganization of the frontier army is not in line with the original plan?"

When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he was a little speechless, so he had to emphasize his tone: "Your Majesty, what I'm talking about is equipping the frontier army, not reorganizing the frontier army."

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed, he looked at Zhong Jinwei and asked: "Master Zhong, I have heard you finish your plan."

It should have been like this earlier, Zhong Jinwei said something secretly in his heart, and then explained his plan to Emperor Chongzhen: "The cost of the new army is mainly in two aspects, one is treatment, and the other is equipment. In order to have enough numbers to deal with the construction The captive, the idea that I came up with was to send the flintlock guns to the frontier soldiers."

"It's mainly for the Denglaiming Army and the Guanning Army, so that they can each choose brave fighters in the army, about 1 each, equipped with flintlock guns, but do not increase their treatment to save costs. In this way, Adding in the 5000 people who completed the reorganization of Beijing Camp, the number is almost the same.”

"The new army will send old soldiers to Guanning and Denglai to train the frontier army. One year of training should be enough to form a strong army. That is, after next year, the main force of the new army will start from Haizhou. Denglaiming's army set out from Dandong, while Guanning's army set out from Jinzhou. The three-way army, with firearms as the main force and cold weaponry as the supplement, directly attacked Jianlu's puppet capital, forcing Jianlu to fight our Ming dynasty."

Emperor Chongzhen listened to Zhong Jinwei's explanation, while imagining in his mind the situation where the three armies divided the left, middle and right to attack Jianlu.

After Zhong Jinwei finished speaking, Emperor Chongzhen asked with a hint of doubt: "Master Zhong, why don't you gather the three forces to attack together, so as to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Saarhu battle?"

When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he shook his head with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, this will be the same as the battle of Sarhu! In the battle back then, not only did Jianlu be informed in advance, so that Jianlu was prepared, but also the food and wages were insufficient. The soldiers are not dedicated, too much speechless."

"But now, under His Majesty's wise leadership. This, Your Majesty, this minister really thinks so. The food and salaries are complete, the armaments are excellent, the soldiers are single-minded, and there are many victories against the captives. It is bound to rebuild the captives." .”

After hearing Zhong Jinwei's words, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help sighing inwardly: Anyone with a little discernment would be able to see that such a benign situation in Ming Dynasty was entirely due to Zhong Jinwei's key role here.

If Zhong Jinwei didn't come here out of thin air, it would be impossible for Da Ming to have such a situation.

"Okay, Master Zhong, as you say. I will also send an order to the border troops of Guanning and Denglai. As long as the sergeants can make great contributions in this battle, they will be transferred to the Beijing camp and enjoy the treatment of the Beijing camp. .” Emperor Chongzhen did not hesitate, and agreed to Zhong Jinwei’s proposal on the spot.

Of course, the soldiers he said were those who were equipped with flintlock guns, but were still treated as frontier soldiers.

Now regarding the matter of captive soldiers, with Zhong Jinwei's suggestion and Emperor Chongzhen's approval, other people will basically not sing against it.Moreover, this time Zhong Jinwei made adjustments based on the money and food allocated to the new army for reorganization, leaving the cabinet, the Minister of the Household Department and others speechless.

So Zhong Jinwei quickly began to implement this idea.He sent Cao Bianjiao to lead a thousand veterans of the new army to Denglai to train the ten thousand Denglaiming army selected by Lu Xiangsheng.

Zuo Liangyu was also sent to lead [-] veterans of the new army to report to Sun Chengzong, the governor of Jiliao, to train the [-] Guanning army selected by Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli.

Cao Wenzhao was in charge of the reorganization of the new army in the Beijing camp, but Zhong Jinwei himself threw himself into the matter of feudal North America.
