The letter was sent by Li Jingyun. The content of the letter is not much, that is, he told Zhu Guoqiang a piece of news in the letter.

He's a father.

A son is born!

"I'm a dad......"

Zhu Guoqiang was stunned for a while, and he even had only one thought in his heart at this time, which was to go to Li Jingyun's side, see her, and see his son.

Otherwise...... Despite the great desire in his heart, he tried to restrain himself from this thought.

However, this letter made Zhu Guoqiang's heart somewhat dissatisfied. I'm afraid that he, as a father, does not have the right to name his son - this right belongs to the imperial court and the Ministry of Rites. If there is no name from the Ministry of Rites, the clan relatives are "nameless", and they will not be able to receive Zonglu, and even many clans have not asked for a name until they die, even if it is Jiajing himself, it is a name that only exists ten years after he was born to ask for a name, and before that, he only had a milk name.

Seeing that Jingyun mentioned in the letter that he had already written to the court to ask for the child's name, and was worried that the court would be stuck, Zhu Guoqiang said bluntly.

"What name do you want someone else to name your own child?"

As he spoke, Zhu Guoqiang casually put the word "domain" in his hand, the name of the Ming Dynasty clan is very different, and the words on the other side are simple. It's a periodic table.

This is every founder has a common will, that is, to pass on the world they have beaten down to the second, third, tenth, hundred, and thousands of generations, Boss Zhu also has this grand idea, so he made a rule: when the descendants take the name, the five elements are used to restrain each other, wood is fire, fire is earth, earth is gold, gold is water, water is wood, meaning that the five elements give birth to all things, and the cycle is repeated, and it will be prosperous for a long time, hoping that his Daming company can survive so long.

According to the generation set by Boss Zhu, his son is a generation with characters, and his name should be next to "gold, wood, water, fire and earth", so his name should be "soil".

"Let's use the domain. 土, which means territory. "Domain" is originally written as "or", which is synonymous with "country". That's the word......"

Zhu Guoqiang once violated the rules of the Ming Dynasty, which is simply - anyway, for the outside world, he is domineering, not bad for such a thing.

In fact, if he wasn't so domineering, I'm afraid those civil officials in the capital would be a little uncomfortable. After all, in their eyes, domineering is synonymous with that master.

In the blink of an eye, it's summer.

Although he became a father, Zhu Guoqiang didn't even return to Shandong once, not because he didn't miss his wife and children, but because there was something more important - the final battle of the accurate recovery of Liao.

Just like the information provided by Huang Taiji and Dolgon's inner line, Dolgon still sent troops in the spring, which was the weakest time for the Mongols, and the horses and livestock that had been hungry for a winter were extremely weak, and this was the best season to attack the steppe.

Of course, in order to facilitate all this, in the past few months, Zhu Guoqiang has repeatedly asked for troops to be sent into the customs in the name of General Pinglu, especially after Zhang Xianzhong conquered Xiangyang, the killing of King Xiang gave him a reason to enter the customs.

In the face of his successive requests, the attitude of the imperial court was resolute - General Pingyu was not allowed to enter the customs, and even forbade him to return to Shandong privately.

All right!

On the one hand, there was the refusal of the imperial court, and on the other hand, his constant requests.

For several months, this incident was known to the whole world, and it seemed that everyone saw the "ambition" of the general Pingyu, but this also contributed to Dorgon's conquest.

From the initial 30,000, to 60,000, and now, Dolgon has once again mobilized reinforcements!

“…… Since Dolgon's attack on the steppe, Tushetu Khan's Gunbu has taken advantage of the special geography of Mongolia to deal with Jiannu, and when Jiannu attacked, they took advantage of the width of the steppe to flee everywhere, and when Jiannu did not have enough food, they would automatically withdraw. ”

When Chen Wudi introduced the map, Zhu Guoqiang just stared at the map without saying anything.

In the Manchu Dynasty, Mongol was annexed, and Huang Taiji inherited the title of Great Khan of the Mongols. Although this is not unprecedented in the history of Mongolia, one thing must be admitted: Huang Taiji created a new rule. Because according to the rules of Mongolia: in the Mongolian tribes, only the descendants of Temujin can become the Great Khan of Mongolia, and there are also people who are not from the Temujin family and still have the title of Great Khan, he is the first in Mongolian history. However, he was first assassinated because of breaking the rules. And Huang Taiji is the second person who is not a descendant of Temujin, but dares to be the Great Khan of the Mongols.

Moreover, Huang Taiji's title of Mongolian Great Khan was indeed recognized by Monan Mongolia. However, in the Huangtaiji era, the title of the Mongolian Great Khan of the Manchu Emperor was only recognized by Monan Mongolia, and the rest of the Mongolian tribes did not recognize this situation, such as Mobei Mongolia. In the fifth year of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's entry into the customs, they inevitably clashed with the Mobei Mongols. At that time, Mobei Mongolia constantly sent people to Monan Mongolia to lobby and persuade the Mongol tribes to sever ties with the Manchus and return to the Mongol circle.

This led Dolgon to personally lead his troops to attack Mobei Mongolia. The reason why he was so active when the Southern Ming Dynasty was still resisting was because if he could not make an example of him, it was likely to lead to the betrayal of the Manchu Qing Dynasty by the Southern Mongols, and if the Southern Mongols chose to betray, the Ming Dynasty warlords would betray, and the Southern Ming would also counterattack on a large scale. Therefore, the conquest of Mobei Mongolia is even related to their survival.

Jiannu entered Mobei Mongolia twice before and after, and both gave Mobei Mongolia a certain blow, after all, militarily, Mobei Mongolia was indeed unable to resist the attack of the Qing army. However, Mobei Mongolia, as in the past, fought the tactics of the enemy coming and retreating, and the enemy retreating and advancing to avoid battle. After all, the Manchus would not be in love with war, because the Southern Ming in the south were still at war with the Qing Dynasty, and if the Manchus fought at both ends, they were likely to collapse under the attack of the Northern Mongols and the Southern Ming.

In the end, how did Dorgon choose?

No trade!

This was the best tool of the Central Plains dynasties, and the reason why Dolgon did so was because he did not have enough troops to spend in the Mongols. That's why he's constantly adding troops.

“…… Thanks to the support of Mongols in southern Mongols, Dolgon has been attacking along the water and grass since he led his troops to attack the grasslands, so although the Mongols kept retreating and trying to avoid the decisive battle, in fact, their losses are increasing, and they have lost a large number of herdsmen and livestock, after all, people and livestock need water and pasture, so as long as Jiannu continues to attack the pastures in Mobei and make them graze without pastures, then the collapse of Mobei Mongolia is only a matter of time......

Looking at the prince of the world, Chen Taiji pointed to the location of the later Kulun on the grassland and said.

"Lord Shizi, now Dolgon has led his troops into the hinterland of Mobei, but Mongolia is too big, he wants to attack the water and grass and force the Mongols to surrender to it, he must invest more troops, at present his troops in Mongolia are as many as 60,000 people, and this time he transferred 30,000 horses to reinforce Mongolia, not because his losses are very large, in fact, our intelligence shows that their losses are extremely light, mainly because Mongolia is too big, he must invest enough men and horses to achieve the goal, Otherwise it will not be possible to deal a fatal blow to the Mongols at all......"

"So now, how many troops does Dolgon have in the Shenyang area?"

Shi Lei replied.

"Hui Shiziye, at most 50,000 people, including more than 30,000 Han troops!"

Han Army.

In the sequence of Jiannu, it is a very special existence, in the past, his main source was the surrendered Ming army generals led by the officers and soldiers of the past, but now whether it is Dolgon or Huang Taiji, they all use the way of recruiting Han people to coat them, thinking that Han people are soldiers.

When the army was insufficient, even the slaves became their supplementary resources.

"How many Mongols have submitted to them so far?"

"At present, it is 70,000 households ......"

"Seventy thousand households, almost seventy thousand soldiers and horses, so that is about 200,000 Dolgon's troops......

Nodding slightly, Zhu Guoqiang's mood was quite complicated.

Although they inflicted heavy losses on the Manchus, their forces were further strengthened, Huang Taiji trained the new army and the Eight Banners of Goryeo, and even plundered Japan, as for Dolgon, he went all the way to the north to the mouth of the Heilongjiang River and surrendered tens of thousands of Jurchens. Then he conquered Mongolia all the way and surrendered 780,000 Mongol households. In addition, he organized Han slaves into the Han army, and now he has nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses.

This butterfly's wings are so powerful!

"It's time to deal with him, or I'm afraid the tail will really be too big!"

"Lord Shizi, summer is coming, and at this time, it is not suitable for war!"

Qian Degong reminded.

Ancient wars were generally fought after the autumn harvest. One is the easy conscription of agricultural slack, which does not affect production; Second, the food is sufficient, the army's materials are easy to mobilize and collect, and after entering the enemy country, it is very convenient to grab grain and forage from the enemy country. Third, the weather is cool, the soldiers will not be war-weary, and the hot weather is easy to breed bacteria, and the crowding of a large number of people in the barracks will inevitably lead to a plague epidemic.

So summer, definitely not a good time to fight, but ...... That's in the past. After all, a considerable part of the so-called plague epidemics in the summer are due to poor sanitation in the wilderness, as long as you do a good job of hygiene, after all, the vast majority of infectious diseases are caused by poor sanitary conditions in the barracks.

"That's the past, but not now, we are now conducting exercises in the summer every day, and we don't see any epidemics of disease, giving up the summer is just not suitable for war, not that we can't fight! Seize this opportunity to try to end the battle before winter comes, take out Dolgon, and let the big guys go home for the Chinese New Year! ”

After a pause, Zhu Guoqiang said.

"Kill Dolgon, go home for the New Year."

Okay, that's the slogan for this troop trip.
