Chapter 40: The-Stirring Stick and the Great Fool

Although the Liaoxi Military Group was already terminally ill, Zhu Youzhen felt that it was still necessary to rescue them, and even if they couldn't be rescued, they would have to be disgusted and disgusted, so that the pace of their feudal towns should not go so smoothly.

So Zhu Youzhen sent two-stirring sticks to Liaoxi.

Yuan Chonghuan, male, 43 years old, from Dongguan, Guangdong, nicknamed Nanbanzi.

In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, this duke ran a train with his mouth full, blowing a rout of 200 enemies into a great victory for Ning Yuan, and also threatened to seriously injure the old slave chief with one shot.

Emperor Tianqi was very happy, so he promoted the military group of Liaoxi, and it is said that on the day of the good news, he personally went to the temple to pay tribute to his grandfather Emperor Wanli.

But the old slave chieftain who was shot by Yuan Chonghuan not only did not fall ill, but then went to fight the Khalkha Department of Mongolia, and won the war.

So, the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who learned the truth, suddenly felt bad, and quickly withdrew Yuan Chonghuan, and then directly returned to his hometown in Guangdong.

In addition, in order to negotiate the money, Yuan Chonghuan in history also killed Mao Wenlong without authorization, gave Dongjiang Town to Houjin, and then casually gave Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and other three Manchu ****.

Although Yuan Chonghuan may not have intended it, he did make immortal contributions to the Manchu Qing Dynasty's entry into the Central Plains, no wonder the Qing Dynasty later cleared him.

However, Zhu Youzhen believes that there is no unusable person in the world, but it must be put in the right place, and mediocre talents may become talents.

And the great victory of Ningyuan in history is not useless, at least Yuan Chonghuan dares to fight to the death in Ningyuan City, and this alone is better than most civil officials in Liaoxi.

But despite this, Zhu Youzhen's reinstatement of Yuan Chonghuan this time is very different from history.

This time, Yuan Chonghuan not only did not have the title of the secretary of the military department and the right deputy imperial envoy, but also did not have the actual positions of supervising Ji Liao, concurrently supervising Denglai, Tianjin military affairs, etc., and did not have a python robe and jade belt monk Fang Baojian.

Yuan Chonghuan's recovery this time is only a small seven-rank patrol, and his actual job is only to supervise Guan Ningjun.

Although the official position is small, Zhu Youzhen feels that with Yuan Chonghuan's courage, he can be qualified for this seven-rank patrol, and he may be able to collide with Guan Ningjun to create a fierce spark.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen instantly burst into a burst of Zhu laughter.

And the second-stirring stick that Zhu Youzhen sent to Liaodong was a person who had been in prison for eight years and vowed to sit in prison.

Yang Hao, male, 69 years old, from Shangqiu, Henan, is the culprit and the first person to bear the blame for the defeat of Salhu in history.

This duke is the eighth year of Wanli Jinshi, since the fifteenth year of Wanli, he has been an official in the Liaodong area, and the military general Dong Yiyuan planned a battle to attack the Mongolian fried flower department on a snowy night, and won a great victory.

Later, he participated in two wars to resist Japanese aggression and aid Korea, and is still deeply loved by the Korean people.

The Korean people set up a separate shrine in Pyongyang to worship him, and in order to make the portrait of his worship realistic, the DPRK once sent envoys to Yang Hao's hometown of Henan to copy it on the spot.

However, after the Battle of Salhu under his command was completely annihilated, Yang Hao was imprisoned by Emperor Wanli, and this pass was eight years.

For the beginning and end of the battle of Salhu, Zhu Youzhen once reviewed with Luo Sigong.

During this period, Luo Sigong, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard at that time, provided an extremely important detail, that is, Yang Hao's strategic deployment had been intercepted by Houjin long before the army.

That's why Nurhachi said, 'I will only go all the way'.

The deployment of troops and the route of the march were all touched by Nurhachi, and it is no wonder that such a battle can be won.

Therefore, after the defeat of Sarhu, Emperor Wanli did not kill Yang Hao, Emperor Taichang did not kill Yang Hao after he ascended the throne, and the subsequent Emperor of the Apocalypse did not kill Yang Hao.

Because the high-level leaders of the Ming Dynasty generally believe that Yang Hao does need to bear the main responsibility for this battle, but if all the responsibility is put on Yang Hao, it is a bit too much.

That's why Yang Ho has been in prison for eight years.

And after reviewing the large and small battles that Yang Hao fought with the Mongols, the Japanese and the Jurchens, Zhu Youzhen had an intuitive understanding of Yang Hao's overall ability.

Yang Hao has been in battle for a long time and has a certain quality of leading troops in battle, but he lacks the ability to command a large corps of joint operations.

However, this person also has advantages, his performance in small-scale battles and logistical organization and support is very eye-catching, and he is extremely suitable for organizing and coordinating all parties to defend the city and deal with small-scale raids and disturbances.

Based on these two points alone, Yang Hao is a relatively knowledgeable person in the civilian group, and this is also the reason why Zhu Youzhen used him.

Because in Zhu Youzhen's strategic plan for eastern Liaodong in the next few years, the task of the western Liaoxi military group is to hold the Ningyuan defense line, and as for the restoration of the land, Zhu Youzhen pinned his hopes on the new army.

In addition, Zhu Youzhen looked at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, except for Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli, Zhu Youzhen could not find a more suitable candidate than Yang Hao to serve as the governor of Liaodong.

Yang Hao has been in Liaodong for more than 40 years, has a certain amount of experience in leading troops, and is very familiar with the forces of various factions in Liaodong, and even many generals are promoted by him.

Although he is a general of the defeated army, Yang Hao's military literacy is much stronger than those civilian officials who have never even held a knife.

In addition, Zhu Youzhen's parting words to him were also very brief and clear.

Don't seek to advance, but to keep it.

So, one afternoon in December, Zhu Youzhen summoned Yang Hao and Yuan Chonghuan on the east platform of the Qianqing Palace, accompanied by Sun Chengzong, a scholar of the Cabinet University, and Yuan Keli, a scholar of the Ministry of War.

During this period, Yang Hao was silent, but he attached great importance to the current situation of the Houjin Group, and asked Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli several times for experience in resisting the Houjin.

Yuan Chonghuan, on the other hand, was much more active, not only proposing to Zhu Youzhen a lot of experience in fighting against the Houjin, especially the experience of manipulating artillery, but also throwing out the famous five-year plan for leveling Liao in history.

In this regard, Zhu Youzhen smiled and said nothing.

Under the sunset, looking at the backs of the two of them walking out of the Qianqing Gate one after the other, Zhu Youzhen suddenly asked.

"What do you think of the two of you?"

Sun Chengzong was stunned when he heard this, then bowed and replied.

"Weichen thinks that Yang Gong will definitely follow His Majesty's teachings here, and Ningyuan's defense line is safe, but as for Yuan Xun, Weichen is a little bad."

"Haha, the old superintendent will also sell the guanzi, tell me if it's good or not, just talk to me about it."

When Sun Chengzong heard this, he didn't dare to slack off.

"Weichen feels that Yuan Xun is indeed eloquent according to this person, and if it is timed to be capable, but his personality is so amazing, it is inevitable that he is suspected of exaggeration."

"What about Yuan Butang?"

When Yuan Keli heard this, he bowed slightly.

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Your Majesty should eliminate Yang Gongdai's heart of meritorious service, so as not to be greedy for merit and ruin a big thing, as for Yuan Xun, Weichen and Sun Ge Lao agree with each other."

"Well, what Yuan Butang said is very true, and the military department should also tell Yang Gong a lot, warning him that it is a great achievement, and as for the matter of recovering the land, I have my own decision."

After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli glanced at each other quickly, then bowed to Zhu Youzhen's back and asked.

"Weichen has the courage to ask Your Majesty what he thinks of Yuan Xun's five-year Pingliao?"

Zhu Youzhen was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't stop, but threw out a three-word comment that has been passed down through the ages.

"Big flicker!"
