"Minister Liaodong Jingluo Yuan Chonghuan see Your Majesty, long live long live long live."

Yuan Chonghuan, who was dressed in a red official uniform, knelt in the Spring Pavilion.

"Let's go flat".

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and motioned for Yuan Chonghuan to get up, and then took a closer look.

A pair of eyes that are bright, and seem to be able to see through what others are thinking. Speaking is neither humble nor arrogant, with a military and literati atmosphere, although elegant, but not losing the edge.

"I remember that the governor of Liaodong is Gao Di, why didn't Gao Di come to the rescue, but sent you over."

Zhu Youxiao's tone was very flat, and he didn't seem to have any other deep meaning, but this was indeed a little worried in Yuan Chonghuan's ears.

Some people react more indifferently when they are extremely angry, but for such people, it is indeed like a poisonous snake that is about to deliver its own fatal blow.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the Governor was shocked when he heard that Huang Taiji led the army into the customs, and he wanted to personally lead the troops to come to the rescue, but Liaodong should not be careless, so the Inspector sent Weichen to lead the army to come to the rescue.

As for the Governor, he was preparing to send a large army to attack Houjin in Liaodong, so as to force Huang Taiji to come back to help."

Yuan Chonghuan first reduced Gao Di's crime, after all, if he really counted the accounts in the future, he would be able to reduce his guilt more or less. Since the supreme officials have been relieved of their sins, as for the subordinates below, their sins will naturally be smaller.

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little angry, but he didn't dare to come out. After all, now that the enemy is present, punishing one's own generals will damage the morale of the army.

I can only turn to care about the military situation in Liaodong and make plans for the future.

When talking about the military situation in Liaodong, Yuan Chonghuan's mouth was like a machine gun, and he kept talking.

"......, if Your Majesty can give me enough military salary, I can pacify Liaodong in 5 years."

When Yuan Chonghuan finally said the grand idea in his heart, Han Yi and the others also looked at Yuan Chonghuan dumbfounded, as if they were shocked by Yuan Chonghuan's great idea.

Of course, this does not include Guo Yunhou, the head of the household department, as the finance minister of the Ming Dynasty, he naturally knows how difficult the finances of the Ming Dynasty are now, and he is eager to break a penny in half to spend, if he really agrees with Yuan Chonghuan's idea, then the treasury of the Ming Dynasty should be able to dig up the land and sell it.

"Your Majesty ......".

Guo Yunhou just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Zhu Youxiao. After doing this, I was even more frightened, so I could only stand aside cautiously.

It's just that Zhu Youxiao is indeed a little frowned, five years of Pingliao, if you don't know the final result of history, I believe that anyone will be shocked by this great plan.

Since the start of the army against Nurhachi, he has fought with the Ming Dynasty for decades, and I don't know how much military salary, grain and grass have been consumed, and how many generals have been killed in the battle. If it really takes 5 years to pacify Liaodong, I believe that anyone will support this idea.

"Yuan Aiqing's idea is very good, but I still don't understand something, I want to ask Yuan Aiqing.

In Yuan Aiqing's vision, how many silver taels will be consumed to build the Ningyuan defense line? Even after the cultivation is completed, five or six million taels of grain will be sent to Liaodong every year in the future.

It's just that this is like today's disasters, my daimyo has a tax revenue of only 6 million taels a year, but now all of them have to be transported to Liaodong, and in the future, when natural disasters and man-made disasters will occur in the rest of my Ming Dynasty, how to provide disaster relief?

Besides, if Huang Taiji takes a detour like this time again, do you think the Ningyuan defense line he repaired is useful?"

For Yuan Chonghuan's idea, Zhu Youxiao is really interested, if Daming is really so good, the treasury is sufficient, the troops are strong, and the Ningyuan defense line is built, and the trapped can indeed trap Houjin alive, after all, the two parties are not in the same size.

It's just that now there are many disasters and man-made disasters in the big tomorrow, and the treasury is running deficit every year, where is the money to build the Ningyuan defense line. Isn't it because Chongzhen in history believed in Yuan Chonghuan's plan to level Liao in the 5th Lian that most of the silver taels in the treasury were sent to Liaodong, so that when natural and man-made disasters occurred in the country, the silver taels could not be used for disaster relief, and Li Zicheng and others were able to make a comeback several times.

Yuan Chonghuan was also made a little stammered by Zhu Youxiao's question, so he could only stand aside, his face flushed.

"Although there are great talents, they are still a little too young, and they are not very thoughtful, they can be generals, not handsome."

Zhu Youxiao gave Yuan Chonghuan his own evaluation in his heart, which can only be said to be a mixed bag. Butterfly

As a general, leading troops to fight only needs to consider what is in front of you. Those who are in command need to combine the country's own strength to make plans.

This is the difference between a general and a handsome.

The ancients often said that a thousand armies are easy to obtain, and a general who is difficult to find is a commander who can take charge of the army alone, rather than a general who charges into battle.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Jingluo led the army to rescue the driver for thousands of miles, the road is far away, and he has been discussing with His Majesty here for a long time, it is better to let Yuan Jingluo go down to rest first."

Han Yi looked at Yuan Chonghuan, who was a little cramped and uneasy, and could only speak first to let Yuan Chonghuan go down to rest, so as not to be embarrassed here.

"The head of the household is still in the book, and some grain and grass will be allocated in advance, and the military salary will be handed over to Yuan Aiqing."

Zhu Youxiao also nodded helplessly.

"Yuan Aiqing, this idea of yours is indeed very good, and I agree with it very much. It's just one thing, you have to think about it and combine it with the national conditions, not a wishful thinking, and you should study with an open mind in the future, so that I can rest assured that you can guard one side."

Zhu Youxiao felt that he could no longer fight Yuan Chonghuan, who was already on the verge of collapse, so he could only make a tone of encouragement.

As for whether you listen to it or not, it doesn't matter to Zhu Youxiao, if you listen to it, you can reuse it in the future, if you can't listen to it, then put it in a position, don't rise or fall, after all, once a person's character is cultivated, it will not be easily changed.

"Your Majesty's words made Weichen suddenly, because Weichen thought that it was too idealistic, and he would study humbly in the future and report to His Majesty."

After making the big salute, Yuan Chonghuan walked out of the Warm Spring Pavilion with some despair.

"Your Majesty, there is a matter for Your Majesty to decide."

Han Yi stood up with a solemn face, as if he had made a lot of determination.

"Say it".

Zhu Youxiao was also a little hesitant, not knowing what kind of form Han Yi was.

"Your Majesty, now that the world's soldiers and horses are summoned to Beijing, the edict of the King of Qin has been issued, and in the future, the world's soldiers and horses will gather in the capital, and there must be a commander to integrate forces against Jiannu.

If there is no qualified commander, his troops and horses will inevitably be scattered, and it is very easy to be defeated by Jiannu one by one, and His Majesty needs to appoint a commander in command of the army as soon as possible."

Regarding this question raised by Han Yi, Zhu Youxiao really hasn't thought about it yet. After all, he is just a suitable poor dick, where does he know how to march and fight.

However, as Han Yi said, if there is no qualified commander, the army will be like a plate of scattered sand without a leader. It's just that I just came to Daming, and I haven't been in Daming for a few months, and the people under my hands haven't recognized all of them, so where are there any so-called candidates. As for some of the awesome characters I know in my memory, either my official position is too small now and I can't suppress it at all, or I have been dismissed from my post at home.

"Is there a candidate for Han Aiqing"?

Since Han Yi raised this question, he naturally has a candidate in his heart, and it is certain that he is a member of the Donglin Party. This will definitely be a huge trouble for me to fight the Donglin Party in the future, although I don't want to ask, but there is no way now.

Han Yi looked apologetic, "Wechen has no candidate for the time being."

Zhu Youxiao was very surprised, according to Zhu Youxiao's idea, it should be Han Yi's candidate. Now he is proposing a position of commanding the world's soldiers and horses in vain, and he doesn't fight for it, you must know that it is very likely to be obtained by Wei Zhongxian's people, which is not in line with Han Yi's character.

Wei Zhongxian, who was standing on the side, showed a cold light in his eyes, and thought of a few candidates in his heart, but he denied it in his heart.

Cui Chengxiu is very jealous of the command of the world's soldiers and horses, especially since he is still the secretary of the military department, and he also has this qualification. It's just that now he is guilty, and if he really competes for this qualification, it will make His Majesty a little disgusted, and he can only look at Wei Zhongxian who is standing aside.

And Wei Zhongxian also seemed to see Cui Chengxiu's gaze and shook his head gently. Choi Sung-so, who got the news, stood aside and didn't say a word.

For a while, there was some silence in the Warm Spring Pavilion.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has a candidate, but it's just ......."

Liu Yixie, who is also a cabinet minister, showed a thoughtful expression, and even a little entangled, not knowing whether to say it or not.
