In addition to Gu San Mazi, the other two of the three princes of Jiangyin's resistance to the Qing Dynasty, although their abilities are not as good as Yan Yingyuan's, if they are by Yan Yingyuan's side, they will definitely be able to help him.

Sure enough, Yan Yingyuan saw that Xingguo Gong agreed to him to recommend Gu San Mazi, and with this encouragement, he recommended Feng Houdun and Chen Mingyu again.

In this regard, Zhang Mingwei naturally agreed. The reason why he didn't recommend those two before was that he still wanted the most capable to come out and do things. But that doesn't mean he doesn't approve of those two.

Then, he asked Yan Yingyuan again, "If you have any other requirements, before I leave, I can put them forward." If I can solve it, I will solve it for you, so that you can deal with Jianyu with more peace of mind and guard Shanhaiguan! ”

Hearing this, don't say it, Yan Yingyuan really had other ideas, so he immediately said to Zhang Mingwei, "The last general has counted, and after the Battle of Songjin, at least tens of thousands of war horses were lost. Of the only horses left today, there are only a few thousand emaciated horses, and only 3,000 horsemen can be warned. Some were divided by the five guerrillas, and there were only about 1,000 left on the Shanhaiguan side. Aside from garrison scouting, there are even fewer cavalry that can be used for maneuvering. ”

Speaking of this, there was a hint of longing in his eyes, and he said, "If it is possible, I still hope that there will be more cavalry, so that the last general will be more sure that he will be able to disturb the peace of Jianyu!" ”

If the infantry army landed to harass Jianjiao, in order to retreat with the whole body, it would definitely not be able to go deep into the hinterland, but the coastal harassment would have limited effect after all. Of course, Zhang Mingwei also knows this.

On the side of Shanhaiguan, there is no shortage of knights for the military and civilians in Liaodong, but there is a shortage of war horses. However, there must be no horses in the imperial court! The only thing that can be there is the grassland!

However, at this time, the grassland was already the sphere of influence of Jianyu, and it was not easy to obtain war horses.

Thinking so, Zhang Mingwei replied to Yan Yingyuan, "I'll figure out a way about the war horse." But for a while, it's impossible. The initial harassment on your side, you have to take advantage of Jianyu's surprise, be quick and ruthless, and make a fortune from him first! ”

Yan Yingyuan heard this, knowing that this matter was indeed difficult, so he hurriedly replied, "Don't worry, Guogong, the last general will not miss the initial fighter!" ”

Other than that, he had nothing to do and retired.

Subsequently, Zhang Mingwei withdrew the others, and asked Princess Kunxing to write a chapter, saying that Yan Yingyuan's ability to recommend those people, as well as the deeds of later generations, and the benefits of arranging for them to come to Shanhaiguan, and then sent it to Jingshi.

In any case, he only has the right to suggest this kind of employment, but Emperor Chongzhen will definitely listen.

After watching a brocade guard send off the music, Zhu Yujiao asked a little curiously, "Sir, isn't the sailor going to use Zheng Chenggong?" ”

The name Zheng Chenggong was impossible to bypass at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, his deeds are all in the documentaries that were broadcast before. Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Yujiao and others naturally knew him.

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he said with a smile, "Now he is just a scholar, and the most powerful sailor in our Ming Dynasty is still in the hands of Zheng Zhilong, an old fox." I'm not sure that if the court decrees it, he will lead the fleet north. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and said with a sneer on his face, "But I guess Zheng Zhilong at this time no longer has the sharpness of his early years." His affairs will be decided after returning to Beijing and discussing with His Majesty. ”

In the lobby, there happened to be a map of Liaodong, Zhang Mingwei walked over, patted the Lushun and Yalu estuaries with his hand, and said in an affirmative tone, "His sailor is strong enough, my idea is to arrange to be here, rebuild Dongjiang Town, and contain Jianyu from the side, so that Jianyu will no longer dare to casually detour through the grassland to attack my Daming!" ”

This trick, later generations like to look at the history of the late Ming Dynasty, and almost all know the necessity of this move. If someone crosses, they will definitely deal with Jianyu in the same way.

In fact, people in this era are not unthinking. However, the rebellion of Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi made the Ming Dynasty unable to rebuild Dongjiang Town.

After they rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, it was under their leadership that Jianlu suppressed the resistance on the coast of Liaodong. All the facilities on the islands were destroyed, and the population of the islands was either killed or plundered to the hinterland of Liaodong.

In the last years of Chongzhen, it was already very difficult to rebuild Dongjiang Town. Not only does it need a strong water division, but it also needs enough materials to support the reconstruction of Dongjiang Town.

At this time, the imperial court couldn't even pay the military salary, so where did the financial resources come from to rebuild. Therefore, after the destruction of Dongjiang Town, there was no more Dongjiang Town.

At this time, Zhang Mingwei turned around and left the map, and continued to say to Zhu Yujiao, "There is Yan Yingyuan's example, and he recommended it, so Gu San Mazi will definitely not have any doubts. As long as the imperial edict arrives, he will definitely be able to lead the fleet north. Although his scale is not large, if he gathers the remaining ships on the Denglai line, it should be enough for the Shanhaiguan side to use to mobilize troops and disrupt the construction of the captivity. ”

"Oh!" Zhu Yujiao listened, nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, she has obviously been studying.

A day later, Zhang Luofu and Jin Zhensun led the expanded Yongwei Battalion, which was actually the Beijing Battalion, to return to Beijing first.

Zhang Mingwei and Zhu Yujiao did not follow back to Beijing, but under the escort of Zhou Yuji and his wife, they inspected the resettlement of the Liao people and the combat readiness of the Great Wall defense line along the Great Wall.

This matter related to dealing with Jianyu must be done in all aspects, otherwise, if one thing is not done well, it will be easy to fail. Therefore, Zhang Mingwei had to inspect the defense line of the Great Wall before he could return to Beijing with peace of mind and then focus on dealing with the thieves.

The defense line of the Great Wall does not rely only on the Great Wall, but a complete set of defense systems inside and outside the Great Wall. Including pier early warning, beacon transmission, military town army garrison and so on.

I have to say that Zuo Ying's choice to do defensive things also has his own set. Various matters include garrisoning, building fortifications, clearing wasteland, building garrison quarters, etc., and there are busy figures everywhere, a vibrant scene.

During Zhang Mingwei's inspection, he also found that the military and civilians in Liaodong were full of enthusiasm. In this regard, he said with satisfaction to Zuo Yingxuan, who rushed to hear the news, "Good job!" ”

Who knew that Zuo Yingxuan heard it, but he shook his head and said, "This is all the credit of the Guogong, and the lower officials don't care about the credit!" ”

"......" Zhang Mingwei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then pointed to Zuo Yingxuan, and said with a smile, "How did you learn to pat on the back?" I don't like this! ”

Zuo Yingxuan listened, his expression was very serious, and he said solemnly, "What the lower official said is just telling the truth. If it weren't for the fact that the government had made up for their arrears, and had paid in compensation for the loss of their fields outside the Guan, and had given them land to plant, they would have known that they would have lived better here. No matter how capable the lower officials are, it will never be possible for them to be so motivated! ”

The implication is that it is still the kind of meaning that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice! Without Zhang Mingwei preparing rice oil for him, even if he can, he can't make something to eat.

This is the truth, Zhang Mingwei heard it, and his heart was also happy.

Zuo Yingxuan was still over there and continued, "Also, if it weren't for the prestige of the country, it would be difficult to cooperate in these places, and under the disobedience of the yang and the yin, it would never be so easy for the lower officials to do things!" ”

"Oh?" When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he was a little surprised.

"The will of the imperial court, half of the tax reduction and exemption will be left for the prevention of thieves and prisoners." Zuo Yingxuan hurriedly explained, "Xia Guan has been a magistrate for many years, so he knows the place even more. As far as the lower officials know, the magistrate really wants to implement this will and ask the squire for money and food, and I am afraid that few people have the courage to do so. The reason is very simple, now the squire of the Ming Dynasty, who is not behind him, if it is not a strong order, who would dare to ask for money and food? ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and continued with deep feelings, "Although they are acting in accordance with the order, those squires cannot resist on the surface, but they often turn their faces and go to activities, and the court does not distinguish between right and wrong, and it is easy to punish the magistrate for another crime!" In this case, under the protection of the self, this will is likely to be just a will! ”

After saying this, Zuo Yingxuan looked at Zhang Mingwei's eyes, which seemed to become a little brighter, and his voice was a little louder, "However, Guogong punished the county order of Fangshan County with a thunderous force, and now, Guogong has won the trust of His Majesty, after these news spread, those squires knew that the people behind them were not good. In this way, the will can be carried out. The lower officials have also benefited a lot, and it has been much easier to do things! ”

Zhang Mingwei was very satisfied when he heard it, when Fangshan County ordered it, he was dealing with it harshly with the purpose of killing chickens and monkeys, and directly used the power in his hands to make a decision. I just want to tell other local officials, don't go against the good and don't play tricks.

Of course, he also knew that the biggest reason for deterring the place was not actually killing a Fangshan County Commander. It's the power of his rejuvenation of the country, which no one can reach now. No matter how the hundred officials impeach, in the end it is those who are unlucky to impeach him. In this way, it can be regarded as truly suppressing those reluctant squires.

Thinking of this, Zhang Mingwei still praised Zuo Yingxuan with a smile and said, "Hehe, even if the imperial court has a good idea, if it is not a capable official to implement it, it will be a flower in the mirror after all." Your ability, the princess and I are all in the eyes, and the emperor will definitely be very happy! ”

Zuo Ying chose to listen to it, and his heart was naturally happy.

This atmosphere, under the mutual "touting", is also very harmonious.

However, at this moment, a noise was heard from ahead. And a lot of people stopped working, all of them were watching.

This situation made Zuo Yingxuan's old face blush, and he immediately went over to check the situation.

Zhang Mingwei saw it and walked over too, wanting to see what was going on?
