The Cabinet and the Ministry of War quickly drew up a battle plan, and Zhu Youzhen used the seal after examination and approval, and then sent it to Liaodong and Dongjiang Town in an expedited manner of 800 li.

"Your Majesty, this military salary?"

Bi Ziyan held the battle plan, and his hands trembled a little.

This time, Zhu Youzhen planned to dispatch 50,000 troops, including 10,000 from Mao Wenlong's department, 10,000 from Guanning's iron cavalry, and 30,000 from Mangui's department.

The duration of the operation was a month.

People eat horses and chew, plus people, 400,000 taels of silver a month is already very saved, and this is still without fierce battles.

"400,000 taels of silver, don't you have any households? Didn't Qiu Fu just come out? ”

The household department had no money all day, and Zhu Youzhen became angry when he thought of it.

"Yes, there is, but if the military salary is filled, the silver for next year's Spring Festival will be stretched."

Compared with Guo Yunhou, Bi Ziyan's financial management ability is indeed much stronger, at least there is less time when the household department can't get 500,000 taels of silver.

"Let's take care of the present, let's talk about next year next year, Lao Bi, the matter of grain, grass and military salaries, you hurry up and mobilize it, and send it to Shanhaiguan and Dongjiang Islands as soon as possible.

With a stroke of his pen, Zhu Youzhen finalized the matter of military salaries.

But then another bombshell was released.

Zhu Youzhen wants to drive in person.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers are in danger, think twice, think twice."

Yuan Keli looked terrified.

"Your Majesty, the son of the daughter, your Majesty, don't forget the matter of the Civil Fort."

Sun Chengzong, Han Yi, Xu Guangqi, and Bi Ziyan are all like great enemies, and there is still only the old god Huang Liji standing by his side.

"You guys, it's just not as calm as Lord Yuanfu."

But before Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, Huang Liji immediately knelt down.

"Your Majesty, you can't go, the old minister can't let you put yourself in danger."

Huang Liji just habitually supported Zhu Youzhen just now, but at this time, he figured out what was going on, and suddenly a cold sweat came down.

If Zhu Youzhen has three longs and two shorts, the first one to be pulled out to worship the sky is the first assistant of his cabinet.

"Ugh."

Zhu Youchang sighed, and then said.

"I have made up my mind, I have to persuade again, and not only I want to go, Lord Yuan will go with me, but also the civil officials of the military department and the Governor's Mansion of the five armies who are sitting and drinking tea, and they have not even seen the battle array, so they dare to talk about it in the court, and I will take them to see the blood today."

When the ministers heard this, they were even more surprised.

"Get up, you also said just now, the probability of sending troops to fight head-on with the Houjin army this time is not large, if I don't even dare to take such a risk, then how can I win his Emperor Taiji."

Zhu Youzhen did not wait for the ministers to advise, and then issued an order.

"The military department selected ten officials above the seventh rank to go to the front line of Guangning to watch the battle with Man Gui, and the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army selected ten officials above the seventh rank to go to Yizhou and Tieshan Pass with Mao Wenlong to watch the battle."

"All civil officials only have the right to observe the battlefield, and must not interfere with the command of the generals, and if there is any violation, the generals can be beheaded."

Subsequently, Zhu Youzhen was not at ease, and instructed Yuan Keli again, telling those civil officials to go with only their eyes and ears, and their mouths should remain in the court.

Then, Zhu Youzhen brushed his sleeves away.

"Lord Yuanfu, why don't you persuade the emperor."

Sun Chengzong looked indignant.

"Childish, don't you understand Your Majesty's temper, can the emperor persuade me to stop?"

Huang Liji knows too much about Zhu Youzhen, and no one can persuade him to do what he recognizes.

"Don't worry too much, Your Majesty is young and vigorous, you should just go to Shanhaiguan to have a look, and then Yuan Butang can persuade Your Majesty."

Compared with other ministers, Xu Guangqi was influenced by Catholicism and had a more open view of the emperor's personal conquest.

When the ministers heard this, although they were still uneasy, if Zhu Youzhen went to Shanhaiguan, the situation would be within the controllable range.

"Alas, I look at Your Majesty, not the first emperor, but Xiao Wuzong more, our auxiliary ministers should serve the former dynasty Sanyang, and keep this foundation for the first emperor."

Han Yi sighed and said his opinion, and the ministers were silent when they heard this.

Early the next morning, Zhu Youzhen took Yuan Keli, under the escort of 500 brocade guards and 2,000 Jinwuwei, one person and two horses, and went to Shanhaiguan.

They were accompanied by civilian officials from the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies.

At the same time, the heavy men who escorted the grain and grass also set off.

------

Three days later, Dongjiang Town, Phi Dao.

Mao Wenlong had just returned from collecting grain from North Korea at this time, and he saw two groups of envoys.

The previous wave of envoys was sent by Zhu Youzhen to reward the officers and soldiers of Dongjiang Town, and the eunuch had been on the island for more than a month with military salaries and grass worth 200,000 taels of silver.

But Mao Wenlong went to North Korea to collect grain and never returned, so the eunuch has been waiting until now.

After receiving Zhu Youzhen's mighty decree, Mao Wenlong was already in tears, and immediately packed his luggage and went to Beijing with the angel to thank him.

But then another holy decree to send troops immediately made Mao Wenlong stand in place.

"General Mao, Your Majesty said, let you send troops immediately, and on the day of victory, Your Majesty will celebrate your achievements in the Jianji Palace."

The Jinyi Wei messenger paused, handed over the sealed battle plan of the Eastern Route Army to Mao Wenlong, and then said to Mao Wenlong.

"Your Majesty also went out with the army this time, and he should have arrived at Shanhaiguan a few days ago."

Mao Wenlong was stunned when he heard this, but when he saw that the brocade guard put his finger on his mouth, he immediately shut up, and then opened the secret cylinder.

In the secret tube, in addition to the detailed combat plan of the East Route Army formulated by the Ministry of War, Zhu Youzhen also attached a 16-character proverb of the Dongjiang Army.

'The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I pursue. ’

After reading Zhu Youzhen's gift, and combined with the combat plan formulated by the Ministry of War, Mao Wenlong's heart suddenly saw the sun, so he bowed in the direction of Shanhaiguan and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Subsequently, Mao Wenlong used Zhu Youzhen's order to convey his holy decree to the officers and soldiers of Dongjiang Town to the islands.

With the grain and silver sent by Zhu Youzhen, plus the grain and grass that Mao Wenlong requisitioned from North Korea, the morale of the officers and soldiers in Dongjiang Town was high.

Two days later, Zhu Youzhen's field observation team arrived at Dongjiang Phi Dao, accompanied by a group of Jinyi Guard sergeants with two large suitcases, but these sergeants were not there to protect these civilian officials.

They're here on a secret mission.

Although Mao Wenlong was curious, Mao Wenlong didn't dare to ask too much about Jinyiwei.

In the early morning of the next day, Mao Wenlong ordered 10,000 soldiers and 50,000 strong men, shouted "Fight the grass valley", and headed towards Tieshan and Yizhou.

Then he fired the first shot of the seventh winter of the apocalypse, after the surprise attack.
