Wu Xuexia knew that the more relaxed Wei Bao said, the more he valued it, how could her husband not care about what the North Koreans thought? The husband attaches so much importance to the Korean market, and regards the Koreans as vassals of the Ming Dynasty, almost as his own people.

Wu Xuexia sighed slightly, smiled reluctantly, and did not continue the topic.

The next day, Wei Bao ended his short newlywed life and went to the Jiliao Governor's Mansion to find Sun Chengzong, asking Sun Chengzong to convene all the generals and officials of Jiliao and Liaodong to discuss matters!

"Xiaobao, you have just gotten married, don't you want to rest for a few more days? Don't snub your newlywed daughter-in-law. Sun Chengzong said with a smile.

"Teacher, my life is very long, I don't care about these few days, I can't be cold!" Wei Bao said: "Please give the order from the teacher!" ”

Sun Chengzong knew that if he didn't convene, Wei Bao would also let Gao Di send someone to convene, Wei Bao was now a prisoner, and the convener could do it.

But what if you just have someone to talk to?

Can you disarm, or can you persuade these people to go to war with you?

Don't say it's you, even the old man, the Jiliao Inspector, doesn't have such a great ability!

Such a large-scale and high-level discussion, Jiliao and Liaodong do not often do it, but they do it at least once or twice a year.

"Okay, since you have thought about Xiaobao, it's not easy to stop you as a teacher, otherwise you still think that you don't care about being a teacher. But can you tell me what you're trying to do when you're convening the meeting, and tell you about disarmament? Or let everyone go to war? Sun Chengzong asked.

"Let's delay the disarmament first, raise troops for a thousand days and use troops for a while, and now Jiannu is committing North Korea, North Korea is my Ming vassal state, we can't ignore it! It is supposed to send troops to contain it. Wei Bao said.

"What about military pay? What about the opening fee? The practice of the Ming Dynasty makes people work hard, and there is always a must-open fee, right? Also, you can't make everyone desperate, right? If you send troops, it will either be the Liaodong Border Army in Jinzhou, or the Jiliao soldiers and horses in Ningyuan, any way, you have to make up for the arrears of military salaries, food and wages, and you have to have sufficient promotion fees, how about it? These silvers, Xiaobao, do you plan to give them out yourself? Sun Chengzong got up and didn't care whether he fought or not.

Sun Chengzong values defending the land, as long as the city and land are in his hands, he will be at ease.

As for the dead, as long as Wei Bao can call someone to go to Jiannu to die, and he can replenish it after he dies, it is nothing.

However, now that everyone knows that the imperial court wants to disarm, it is estimated that there will be no replenishment if there are dead people at this time, which will also increase the difficulty of Wei Bao to send troops.

In short, Sun Chengzong has the mentality of watching the excitement and watching the jokes, and there is no fluctuation in his heart, and he is happy to see it.

"Teacher, don't hide it, if you send out an army of 10,000 people, this silver, I will come out by myself as soon as I grit my teeth, but the military is a major event in the court, if I personally give this silver, I am afraid it will attract criticism!" Wei Bao Road.

Sun Chengzong nodded, "Do you still know this?" The old man thought you didn't know. So what are you going to do? ”

"Speaking of which, no matter which soldier or horse strikes, the military salary and food should be repaid, and a certain amount of promotion fee should be given, which is a reasonable request. Can't the teacher squeeze out a little silver from the Jiliao Governor's Mansion? Wei Bao asked.

"Hahahaha, you can dismiss this idea as soon as possible." Sun Chengzong smiled very happily, and when he saw Wei Bao's sad face, he thought how capable Wei Bao was. Anyway, Ji Liao and Liaodong, to put it bluntly, it is a matter of money, if there is enough money and food, in fact, there is no problem who is the governor of Ji Liao!

In ancient times, fighting a war was a crowd of people.

Han Xin said that he was the god of war, but if Han Xin and Xiang Yu were to switch positions, Xiang Yu would have an army of five or six hundred thousand, and Han Xin would have one or two thousand soldiers and horses.

Xiang Yu didn't have to play the strategy of ambush on all sides, he could kill Han Xin thousands of times.

Outside the pass, the Ming army has always been passively beaten, don't say anything about the cavalry and infantry, to put it bluntly, the relationship with the arms is not big, or the relationship of money, the entire well-equipped million infantry to try, 300,000 Jiannu iron cavalry, or even 400,000 Jiannu iron cavalry, still have to be driven to the deep mountains and old forests.

To put it bluntly, fighting a war is always fighting the economy and money.

"It's not that the teacher doesn't support you, where is there a little silver in the Jiliao Governor's Mansion? How long has it been since the teacher's servant, the secretary's office, and these close officials have not been paid? Even if the division can get a little silver, hundreds of thousands of troops, which one is not in arrears of military expenses? To whom? If the teacher is given to you, neither of us will think about peace. So, you don't want to order which way to send troops first, you have to get enough silver first! We have to pay everyone first! Then think about which way to fight! Sun Chengzong said happily: "If Jiannu takes the initiative to attack, then we are the border army, and it is our duty to defend the land and protect the family. Whoever dares to disobey is afraid of war and the enemy! But in order for people to take the initiative, shouldn't you prepare enough money and food? How many years has we not taken the initiative to fight a big victory, why don't you want to win a battle in your own hands, which will improve the morale of the Ming soldiers and the people? It can also let the ministers of the DPRK and China see that the soldiers of the border army still have such a brave combat power when they lack food and clothing! ”

"Then let's not call a meeting!" Wei Bao frowned and said.

Wei Bao didn't want to come out one by one, nor was he persuaded by Sun Chengzong, in fact, what Sun Chengzong said, Wei Bao had already thought about it before!

If Sun Chengzong happily agreed to help him send troops, the problem would be very simple.

If Sun Chengzong resists perfunctorily like now, Wei Bao also has his own set of methods.

In fact, the original Battle of Liuhe was born in this historical background!

In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Sun Chengzong and Ma Shilong were attacked from all sides, mainly Wei Zhongxian attacked Sun Chengzong, and Ma Shilong was an appendage.

In this context, it was Sun Chengzong who recommended Ma Shilong to serve as the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan and lead the military horses inside and outside the customs.

In the autumn of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Sun Chengzong and Ma Shilong were forced to fail, and Ma Shilong decided to take the initiative to attack once!

At that time, Ma Shilong mistakenly believed the words of Liu Boqiao, a student, and said that the Emperor Taiji of Houjin Sibeile was stationed in Yaozhou, and the number of soldiers in hand was less than 300.

Shilong was overjoyed, sent troops to cross the Sancha River from Niangniang Palace, intending to attack Yaozhou, and first left Lu Zhijia and Li Chengxian two generals to lead the way, at this time, because the water division stationed on Juehua Island guerrilla Jin Guan, Yao and Xian did not come to respond, until the 25th, the boat still did not arrive, Li and Lu led 800 people to force the Sancha River through seven fishing boats, resulting in the leakage of traces, resulting in the rout of the battle of Liuhe, more than 400 dead and wounded.

Lu Zhijia and Li Chengxian were both killed in battle, and Qian Yingke of the Chinese army fell into the water and died.

Judging from the failure of the Battle of Liuhe, Yuan Keli's departure was also unfavorable to Sun Chengzong's military operations, and it can be seen that Sun Inspector's actual combat ability was not as good as Yuan Keli's.

Yuan Keli's Denglai could not be compared with the strength of the Guanning army in terms of soldiers and food and equipment, but it could surprise the combined superior forces and raid the Jin, Fu, and Gai Sanwei Lushun, Hongzui, Wanghai, Yongning and other forts occupied by the Houjin, so that the Houjin curled up in a corner without a peep to the west.

Governor Yuan Keli sent the chief soldier Shen Yourong to the island with a boat division and responded with Mao Wenlong.

The four guards of Gaizhou have been emptied, and the land of 400 miles along the coast has been exhausted, and only 1,000 people have been captured.

Obviously, Yuan Keli attaches more importance to the combination of the naval division and the army.

See the strengths of Da Ming more clearly.

Sun Chengzong did not pay attention to the water master, and did not see it clearly, Jiannu did not have a water master at all, which must be made a fuss.

But Wei Bao realized, and Wei Bao has always focused on the development of the naval division, and paid more attention to the construction of the navy than the construction of the army.

"Xiaobao, are you talking angry?" Sun Chengzong was stunned, in his impression, Wei Bao is a very thoughtful person, since he proposed to send troops, he must have a fight, the scale is large, the scale is small, this can be said in two ways.

But don't you just say a few words and stop fighting, right?

"Teacher! You are the Jiliao Governor, I am just the prison army, originally these are your affairs, you said yourself, Jiannu committed North Korea, should we fight? Wei Bao said coldly. Originally, Wei Bao could unite with several big eunuchs to coerce Sun Chengzong, and kept impeaching Sun Chengzong to the imperial court and driving Sun Chengzong into the wilderness.

Wei Bao jumped up to send troops, but his name was not right, and no one listened to him.

"I know, I understand all these truths, didn't I just say it? Send troops, get silver and food first! Make up for the military salaries and food salaries of the Jiliao and Liaodong armies, and then give sufficient promotion fees, send troops for the division immediately, and personally go into battle to fight the vanguard! Listening to what you said, it seems that I don't want to fight Jiannu! Sun Chengzong's face also turned cold, feeling that Wei Bao was a little annoyed and angry, and he was about to turn his face with himself.

Sun Chengzong is naturally not afraid of Wei Bao, Sun Chengzong's big deal is to go home, he is not afraid of anyone, not even the emperor and Wei Zhongxian!

"Teacher! The court is in temporary difficulty, and whether there is money or not, you have to build slaves! I have now temporarily taken the defense of Shanhaiguan, and Ma Shilong's soldiers and horses are all in my hands, so I can't say it, I can only mobilize the soldiers and horses of Shanhaiguan to fight Jiannu! Wei Bao threw out the central idea of finding Sun Chengzong.

In fact, Wei Bao didn't plan to convene a meeting, and the discussion was nothing more than what Sun Chengzong had just said to himself, and he would say it again to those generals.

And the generals don't have any ink, and they speak in a rough voice like a quarrel, just another quarrel, which has no effect.

"No!" Sun Chengzong immediately denied Wei Bao's idea: "I am the Jiliao Governor!" Although Ma Shilong was demoted temporarily, the court did not drive him home, the soldiers and horses of Shanhaiguan have always been led by Ma Shilong, and he hastily changed people, and he had to send troops, which would cause a big mess and cause a mutiny, I don't allow this kind of thing to happen! ”

"That's the teacher's business! You don't have the ability to lead the troops, it's better to give way as soon as possible, it's good for the court, and it's good for you personally! Wei Bao said coldly: "I just want the teacher to take a look, I don't need to allocate military salaries, I don't need to allocate food and salaries, I don't need to pay a promotion fee, I can still fight Jiannu, and I also want to fight Jiannu's nest Shenyang!" ”

Sun Chengzong was almost had a heart attack by Wei Bao, and his facial muscles twitched, "You, you!" Good! Good! ”

Sun Chengzong couldn't say the whole thing if he wanted to.

Wei Bao felt that his tone was heavy, no matter how much he had feelings with Sun Chengzong, no matter whether Sun Chengzong helped him before, whether it was for the sake of interests, whether he helped Sun Chengzong for the sake of interests, after all, it was a teacher-student relationship, and in ancient times, when the morality of teachers and students was extremely important, it was very wrong for him to do this.

"Teacher, I was in a hurry for a while, and I said something wrong, please forgive my teacher." Wei Bao Road.

Sun Chengzong snorted angrily, which was a little calmer, otherwise his heart was beating too fast, and he was almost out of breath by Wei Bao.

"Wei Bao! You've got what it takes! As long as the court allows it, I can give way to you at any time, and I wish you could mobilize soldiers and horses to fight Jiannu without money and food! That is a good thing for the Ming court and the people of the Ming Dynasty! Sun Chengzong said angrily: "But if you want to use the soldiers and horses of Shanhaiguan without authorization, I don't agree!" I can't watch the soldiers mutiny, even if there are more than 30,000 troops, you have the ability to take 3,000 people over and escape 27,000, you are a big crime! Besides, I don't think you have what it takes to take 3,000 people to their deaths! If you go, you don't have the ability to hit Jiannu, and you will be sent to death in vain! ”

Sun Chengzong was a little incoherent by Wei Bao.

Wei Bao said with a smile: "Don't worry, I don't need 30,000 troops, I only need more than 1,000 people from Shanhaiwei!" ”

"The guards of Shanhaiwei? More than a thousand people? Shenyang City, which built slaves? Sun Chengzong looked at Wei Bao like a ghost, smiled, and immediately understood Wei Bao's thoughts, "Wei Bao, Wei Bao, people say that you are the most slippery person in the world, every time I listen to it, I feel that this is scolding you, and even the old man is humiliated." Now even the old man thinks so, you are really the most slippery person in the world! ”

"Why did I slip my head?" Wei Baoqi said.

"Don't you just want to pretend, your father-in-law is from Shanhaiwei, you just give credit to your father-in-law, and then let your father-in-law Wu Xiang take Ma Shilong's position, who doesn't know? But Wu Xiang, is he a general? Does he have what it takes to lead his troops into battle? Not to mention the important land of Shanhaiguan, tens of thousands of troops are the elite of my Ming Dynasty! Also, what can you do if you bring a thousand people there? It's not enough to build a hundred cavalry to fill in the gaps! When the time comes, you will get some heads from nowhere, shave their heads, and pretend to be the head of Jiannu! Sun Chengzong smiled: "It's useless, the generals and soldiers of the border army are not stupid, whether they are real slaves or not, you can see at a glance!" Even if you are a court supervisor and you have the ability to let the eunuchs and officials speak to you, you can't stop the mouths of Jiliao and everyone in Liaodong! Killing good and risking merit is a capital crime! I advise you not to play this trick. ”

Wei Bao smiled: "Thank you for thinking so much about me!" My teacher looks at me like I'm so stupid, do you want to kill the good and take the risk? ”

Sun Chengzong's eyes rolled, "I almost forgot, you are very capable now, you have a lot of people, and you have been fighting with Jiannu!" ”
