Sun Chuanting didn't expect the emperor to give him so much autonomy, and his heart was suddenly extremely moved.

You know, this kind of autonomy is not easy to come by. , which is in the military aspect.

Sun Chuanting hurriedly said: "Your Majesty rest assured, the minister will not let Your Majesty down." ”

Zhu Youxiao is still confident that Sun Chuanting will not let him down. After all, Sun Chuanting is still very strong in military training, but in his previous life, he collected a bunch of rags, and as a result, he also trained as a strong soldier.

If it weren't for the fact that the situation was too erosive, and Emperor Chongzhen was too eager and didn't trust people, things wouldn't have turned out to be the way they were.

Zhu Youxiao said: "Work hard, don't be afraid of making mistakes." You're still young, it's normal to make mistakes, and it's not normal not to make mistakes. Don't be too cautious, you have to dare to fight when you're young. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Sun Chuanting hurriedly bowed down and agreed.

His Majesty can even consider this, and Sun Chuanting's heart is suddenly even more moved.

"Go ahead, call your friends together to have a good discussion." Zhu Youxiao looked at Sun Chuanting and said with a smile: "There is not much time left for us, so you have to be extra careful." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Sun Chuanting agreed again.

Looking at the back of Sun Chuanting leaving, Zhu Youxiao's face showed a thoughtful expression.

Walking to the table on the side, Zhu Youxiao reached out and picked up a question book, looked at it and put it aside, and sighed helplessly.

This question book was submitted by Xu Guangqi, and it is also a question book about military affairs.

Since entering the imperial court, Xu Guangqi has rarely taken this topic. Because he seemed to realize that the emperor's new army was so good that he was not needed at all, he interfered very little.

But this time is different, obviously, Xu Guangqi also feels that this matter is very important.

Xu Guangqi proposed a strategy to resist Jin: guardianship of North Korea.

In fact, this is not the first time Xu Guangqi has proposed this idea. In the Wanli period, Xu Guangqi had already proposed this anti-gold strategy, but it was not adopted.

This time, Xu Guangqi is nothing more than turning this idea out again. Xu Guangqi's very subtle suggestion: "Send an envoy to proclaim the edict, so as to take custody of his country" in order to "train 20,000 fresh soldiers", in short, to abolish the direct jurisdiction of the domain.

To put it bluntly, this is the prototype of the colony in later generations, just like the American troops stationed in Japan in later generations. This time, Xu Guangqi mentioned it again, hoping that the imperial court could send someone to North Korea. The first is to garrison the army, and the second is to help the DPRK train troops.

In addition, Xu Guangqi also put forward another suggestion, that is, to recruit some foreigners.

Recruit some Portuguese from Macao and other places, let them contribute to the Ming Dynasty, help the army cast artillery, and help train artillery, engineers and other troops.

These things may be very advanced if they were put in normal times, or in the past. But now Zhu Youxiao doesn't look down on it.

This kind of thing can be done in the future by uniting Portugal, but I don't have the energy to do it now. As for sending people to North Korea, Zhu Youxiao did not consider it.

North Korea is indeed very obedient now, but it is simply unrealistic to expect the North Korean army to defeat Nurhachi. If you waste money and energy in North Korea, it is better to improve the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

As for establishing Korea as a colony, Zhu Youxiao didn't have that mind. It's not time yet, many problems haven't been solved, and you can't take too big a step, otherwise it's easy to get an egg.

Zhu Youxiao put down the question book, turned his head to Chen Hong and said, "Go and tell Xu Guangqi that in his question book, the North Korean matter will be forgotten." As for him wanting to recruit some foreigners, let him do it himself. ”

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed, turned around and walked outside.

Zhu Youxiao sighed and walked to the map not far away with an expressionless face.

Looking at the map of the Ming Dynasty in front of him, Zhu Youxiao felt a little helpless in his heart.

I don't know how Liaodong is now, I'm afraid this year is a difficult year. If we can get through this year, the days ahead will be much better.

When Zhu Youxiao was worried about Liaodong, Liaodong at this time was full of war.

The war horses that delivered the news kept shuttling back and forth, countless armies began to move, and grain and grass began to gather, looking ready for war.

Shenyang City.

The horses rushed into the city.

Xiong Tingbi was sitting in the handsome tent, also looking at the map, with a serious expression on his face.

For Xiong Tingbi, his current life is much stronger than in his original history.

Xiong Tingbi now has the trust of the emperor in the court, and his prestige can be said to be very high. Because of the emperor's trust, he can get the support of the court in everything he does, so he dares to do more.

"Dashuai, someone came to report that the wild boar skin came out of Tieling and came to Shenyang!" Li Guangrong walked in from outside and said with a serious face.

After listening to Li Guangrong's words, the expression on Xiong Tingbi's face also became serious.

He turned his head to look at the map, and soon found the place of the march on the map, and then said: "It seems that they are restless again, this is to fight Shenyang!" ”

After saying this, Xiong Tingbi's brows furrowed. Cool Record Literature

Shenyang is really a terrible place.

Once this place in Shenyang is lost, then the next step for wild boar skin is to capture Liaoyang.

Once Shenyang is lost, Liaoyang will not be able to keep it. Therefore, this place in Shenyang must not be lost.

The wild boar skin was just an attack before, but this time it was a large army attacking, obviously prepared.

This made Xiong Tingbi hesitate a little, what did the other party want to do?

Looking at Xiong Tingbi, Li Guangrong said with some hesitation: "Dashuai, are we going to attack?" ”

In fact, starting from Xiong Tingbi to Liaodong, the entire Liaodong line took a defensive position, and what they did was to build bunkers and build a chain of work, which echoed each other before and after; All the policies were all on defense, plus a lot of money from the imperial court, a lot of military equipment, armor, swords and guns, and the military strength of the entire Liaodong was greatly improved.

Xiong Tingbi also recruited a lot of people, fired a lot of people, and punished a lot of people. The training of the army has also been raised, and the combat effectiveness of the entire army in Liaodong has improved a lot, so now some people feel that they can fight with the wild boar skin.

For example, Li Guangrong in front of him, that's what he thinks.

Xiong Tingbi glanced at Li Guangrong, and the expression on his face was a little hesitant. As for what he came to Liaodong for, Xiong Tingbi knew very well in his heart.

His Majesty let himself come to Liaodong for the purpose of defending Liaodong. To put it bluntly, it is to defend Liaoyang and Shenyang, and these two places cannot be lost.

Now Tieling, Kaiyuan, Lushun and other places have been lost, and even wild boar skins have begun to infiltrate southern Liaoning, and they are also resigned.

Now, if you send troops, you can't do everything you did before in vain, and then you will betray Your Majesty's trust.

This is definitely not what His Majesty wants, nor is it what Xiong Tingbi wants.

"Dashuai, if you only defend and don't attack, it will really affect morale." Li Guangrong said a little anxiously.

These words reminded Xiong Tingbi of Wang Zaijin again.

When Wang Zaijin arrived in Liaodong, Xiong Tingbi and him once met. Wang Zaijin once analyzed the situation with Xiong Tingbi.

At that time, Wang Zaijin said:

"The east is bad, one is worse than Qing and Fu, then it is worse than Kai and Tie, three is bad for Liao and Shen, and four is bad for Guangning.

"The initial bad is a crisis, the second bad is a defeat, the three bad is the endgame, and as for the four bad - donating the whole Liao, there is no situation to be deployed. Gradually retreat to the mountains and seas, and there is no step back after that. ”

According to Wang Zaijin, now Qingfu is gone, Kaiyuan and Tieling are gone, and the rest are Liaoyang and Shenyang. If Liaoyang and Shenyang are lost, then only Guangning will be left, and the entire Liaodong will have no land to defend. If Guangning loses it again, it can only retreat to the front line of Shanhaiguan.

Therefore, Xiong Tingbi also knows the importance of Shenyang and Liaoyang. Going out and fighting with wild boar skins is really a bit out of line with the established strategy.

However, what Li Guangrong said also made sense, and not fighting really had some impact on morale.

After pondering for a moment, Xiong Tingbi said, "Send out the scout horse, ready to meet the battle at any time." ”

Anyway, Xiong Tingbi thinks it's better to see the situation first, if you can fight, you can fight, if you can't fight, it's still the same as before, let's just hold on and see what he can do Nurhachi?

At the same time, Nurhachi led a large army straight to Shenyang.

In the army, Nurhachi's face was also very serious.

All around him were his sons and his generals. Everyone had a look of anger on their faces, and they looked like they were ready to kill at any moment.

"This time you remember, if Xiong Tingbi can be allowed to go out of the city to fight us, then we will fight; If he doesn't leave the city, we'll retreat. Nurhachi instructed.

The people below have some resentment.

Mang Gurtai stood up and said: "Father Khan, my son is willing to lead people to attack Shenyang, and he will definitely defeat Shenyang!" ”

Glancing at Manggultai, Nurhachi said, "Don't talk nonsense. Now go back and unify the army, and if anyone dares not listen to me, they will be dealt with by military law. ”

Although there was some dissatisfaction, the people below didn't dare to say anything, so they retreated.

For the emotions of the people below, Nurhachi also understands it in his heart. However, this time, Nurhachi did not think about defeating Shenyang.

The reason is also very simple, it can't be beaten at all, Xiong Tingbi is too difficult to fight. He was not like other Ming Dynasty officers at all, who shrank up all day long and did not show his head at all.

In this way, if you want to annihilate him, you can only attack. But the kind of city in Shenyang can be stormed casually?

Even if you can storm it yourself, how many people will you have to lose?

As for his own attack this time, it was mainly to boost morale. On the other hand, it is also a kind of temptation to see if Xiong Tingbi really won't come out of Shenyang.

If he really doesn't leave Shenyang City, then he can consider doing something else.

Now that the Ming army in Liaodong is getting stronger and stronger, he needs more manpower, and at the same time, he must take Shenyang as soon as possible, and then take Guangning, and sweep away the Ming army's army in Liaodong.
