Wei Bao's idea was not to cripple Jiannu.

Although in this era, Jiannu and Daming are mortal enemies.

But Wei Bao is more reborn in the 21st century, and his ideas have been integrated into the Han ideology.

These minority tribes are also part of China and are compatriots.

Wei Bao did not regard Jiannu as a mortal enemy.

If they can let them put down the butcher knife without blood, even the two sides will be repaired.

It not only changed the policy of the Ming Dynasty towards Jiannu, but also changed the attitude of the Jiannu towards the Ming Dynasty.

That's for the best.

Although this is almost a fantasy, Wei Bao really thinks so.

Therefore, all along, Wei Bao asked the Bao army to fight guerrillas in the rear of Jiannu, not to kill and injure many Jiannu, but to curb Jiannu's offensive ideas.

Now it seems that the fight is still not hard enough.

It is estimated that the people below are afraid of aggravating the number of casualties, and the numbers are not good-looking.

I am also afraid that sending more soldiers and horses to the rear of Jiannu will cause huge pressure on logistics and supplies.

Although Wei Bao was a little dissatisfied, he had no reason to blame his subordinates.

After all, this degree is difficult to grasp.

What if Jiannu didn't plan to invade Korea this time?

When he Wei Bao looked at the digital report, he found that the military expenditure for attacking Jiannu every year was so high, and so many people died, maybe he would be just as unhappy.

What's more, no one can figure out what Jiannu thinks, even if you take a step back and say that you fought Jiannu very well and killed a lot of Jiannu, then Jiannu won't send troops to attack North Korea?

After all, Mao Wenlong and North Korea are both the troubles of Jiannu, including southern Liaoning, these are all the constraints of Jiannu, and Jiannu must be eliminated one by one to feel at ease.

Even if Nurhachi did not have the idea of entering the Central Plains at this time, the goal of eliminating the huge threat around him and unifying the entire north was set by Nurhachi a long time ago.

And if it weren't for the fact that he killed a Wei Bao halfway, captured Liaonan, and helped North Korea, he sent troops and horses to control the two provinces of North Korea.

The process of unifying the whole of the North will certainly be better and faster than it is now.

"Send someone to check again, keep an eye on Jiannu's movements, and report at any time! And be prepared to dispatch 50,000 troops to fight with Kennu in Pyongan Province or Hamgyong Province! Wei Bao ordered decisively.

He had been hesitating before, whether to take care of North Korea or not, after thinking about it, now that he has made a decision, no matter how difficult life is, he can't ignore the stick.

Now when they are in trouble, regardless of them, how to raise the prestige of the treasure army and the Heaven and Earth Society,

Do you want to wait for Jiannu to completely collapse the economy of North Korea before you take care of it?

Wei Bao knew that according to the original history, Jiannu should have fought Korea on a large scale in 1627, but it was only focused on seizing wealth and population, and after plundering and paralyzing the Korean economy, he would have withdrawn.

It seems that Nurhachi has a son who wants to occupy North Korea, refuses to leave in North Korea, and wants to establish himself as a king, and he is still disposed of by Nurhachi.

Wei Bao is not very clear about this history, and he is too lazy to pay attention to it now.

"Yes, President!" After Lin Wenbiao agreed, he immediately turned around and trotted down to give the order.

The president's directive is the supreme directive, which is a military order that has a great impact on the preparation of the front.

Otherwise, the presidential secretariat has not given clear instructions, and the people below have not been able to figure out whether to care about the DPRK or not, and there has been no unity of thought.

"President, you won't do this for Princess Zhenming, will you?" Wu Xuexia asked.

Wei Bao smiled, he was quite amorous, but he wouldn't affect such a big decision for the sake of a woman.

"You're thinking too much." Wei Bao smiled: "I thought about it carefully, we don't spend much resources when we send troops, but the benefits outweigh the disadvantages." If we send troops, there is hope for the North Koreans, they themselves have a certain defense capability, right? Our officers will be improvised. If we ignore it now and watch the North Korean economy collapse, not only will we be in trouble to control North Korea in the future, but when we fight against Jiannu again, the North Koreans will be depressed, and we will become alone. ”

"Well, it's similar to what I thought, I also support the president's sending troops!" Wu Xuexia said: "Actually, it doesn't cost much silver, right?" The army is trained to be sent out to fight. ”

"I'm not worried about spending money, I'm worried that the momentum will be too big, and I will be stabbed out by these people in Liaodong, and then the whole world will know that I have a strong army, and the main force of Jiannu will be attracted to the side of North Korea. Wei Bao Road.

"Don't worry, president," Wu Xuexia said with a smile: "With my understanding of the big families in Liaodong and Liaoxi, it is impossible for them to say it, not only will they not exaggerate our military situation, but they will even try to cover it up, they are afraid that the imperial court will know that they are not the only force to resist Jiannu, and it will affect their supplies!" When the time comes, where will I get so much military pay and food every year?"

When Wei Bao heard Wu Xuexia say this, he suddenly had a feeling of being sudden, "Yes, we should have talked about it a long time ago, it's what you said!" ”

"Originally, the president thinks about it, you have taken such a big thing in southern Liaoning, in fact, the imperial court and the Guannai have only heard about it, and no one has talked about it for a short time, and no one takes it seriously, why? Because the big families in Liaoxi and Liaodong spent money and suppressed public opinion! Wu Xuexia said.

It can also be like this,

Spend money to suppress public opinion,

Wei Bao didn't even think of this.

Were the ancient people so advanced?

Nowadays, the media is underdeveloped, and the only channel is the official newspaper.

"How do you press it down?" Wei Bao asked.

"Isn't this simple, the people who buy the high-ranking officials and the celebrant are not allowed to appear in the hall newspapers that comment on Liaonan, no one mentions it, and it will be suppressed in a few days." Wu Xuexia said with a smile.

"That's right." Wei Bao shook his head, "My head is getting worse and worse, I can't even think of it." ”

"It's not that the president can't think of it, it's that the president has too many things, and he doesn't pay attention, it doesn't matter, whatever I think of, I will remind the president." Wu Xuexia said with a smile.

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier? You should have encouraged me to give an order not to allow Kion-nu to break through Pyongan Province and Hamgyong Province in North Korea. Wei Bao questioned.

"I don't understand what the president thinks, the president can't blame me casually, I thought the president deliberately wanted Jiannu to exert his power, let the North Koreans see, without our protection, they will be swallowed by Jiannu sooner or later." Wu Xuexia said innocently.

Wei Bao gently pinched Wu Xuexia's nose funny, "You, you just have too many ideas, and you always speculate on my thoughts." Am I that insidious? ”

If it is in modern times, when the common people have a certain level of civilization, Wei Bao may do this.

But now Wei Bao felt that it was completely unnecessary, because he found that he sent people directly to North Korea, and North Korea was quite obedient.

And not much exclusive.

First of all, Korea was originally a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

Secondly, the economic dominance of the Heaven and Earth Society is very strong.

Secondly, there is no cultural barrier between the two sides, and everything in North Korea is to imitate the Ming Dynasty, and even the culture is of the same root.

Cultural consistency is paramount, more than anything else.

With the same culture, it's easy to merge two teams together.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea began to assist the Ming Dynasty in the military encirclement and suppression of the Later Jin Dynasty and the economic blockade, and later because of the brain-dead Emperor Chongzhen, he abandoned Korea and Chahar Mongolia, which led to the invasion of Korea by the Later Jin, so he surrendered to the Later Jin.

The grass on the wall first helped the Ming to clear the clear, and then helped the Qing to extinguish the Ming.

Therefore, Wei Bao's subconscious feelings for these sticks are also quite complicated, no matter what, no, if you care, I also feel a little bad.

But now that he has figured it out, his pattern is still not big enough.

The same culture, and the big brother with strong power, how can the younger brother be disobedient?

There's no need to worry too much about the younger brother.

However, speaking of this trip to North Korea, Wei Bao was very angry with Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong borrowed North Korea's Phi Island to create Donggang Town to harass Houjin.

If you want to station a large army in North Korea and attack North Korea with Liaoxi.

First of all, the combat effectiveness of the North Korean army, except for the musketeers, was basically negative.

Secondly, in terms of the field capability of the Ming army at that time, if there were more than 50,000 nine-sided elites stationed in North Korea, I am afraid that this goal would not be achieved, but these 50,000 nine-sided elites could be taken out so casually.

In the end, North Korea is an extremely barren and backward land, more than ten years before the Jiannu rebellion, the Ming army that sent troops to Korea to fight against Toyotomi Hideyoshi was only 40,000, and the soldiers were only 20,000, so they were dragged by the logistics of backward Korea in Wangjing and could not fill in more than 5,000 soldiers, and now you enter 50,000 people, unless a large part of these 50,000 people become tuntian soldiers or organize large-scale sea supplies, otherwise the elite of more than 50,000 people will not be able to stay in Korea for a few months.

Moreover, the mobility of these tens of thousands of troops will also be greatly reduced.

In terms of technical level, of course, Ming Ting can flank Houjin with the North Korean garrison, but North Korea can only harass and cannot be the main force along the way.

To completely defeat Houjin, you need to win a big victory on the battlefield of Liaoxi that kills more than 10,000 Houjin.

Mao Wenlong has a problem, and so do the North Koreans, who never knew how to take the initiative to express themselves, but they knew that they were begging for the army, asking for food and military salaries, and they didn't want to take out anything, which was purely similar to begging for food.

If he is willing to give Mao Wenlong some benefits in advance, even if Mao Wenlong is pretending, he will send people out to attack Jiannu, and he will be able to have some diversion effect.

After all, Mao Wenlong's men and horses are all good guerrillas, and those who have been fighting guerrilla warfare for a long time are from the deep mountains and old forests in the northeast, and they are all good at drilling.

In the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming court did not have the spare strength to garrison troops in Korea.

At most, it can be contained like Mao Wenlong.

The North Korean side also helped Mao Wenlong to a certain extent, but Wei Bao felt that the help was too small.

Give Mao Wenlong silver, no matter how much you give, you won't lose.

Because of this, Jiannu actually beat the Koreans, and the Ming Dynasty was powerless to save them.

As a result, Korea became a vassal of the Later Jin, and the Ming Dynasty was no longer able to take care of Korea.

The key is also that the North Koreans are constantly vacillating in assessing the contrast between the strength and weakness of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Ming Qiang can unite with North Korea to flank Houjin, for example, North Korea participated in two military operations against Houjin by the Chenghua Dynasty.

If it is weak, North Korea will inevitably become the strategic rear of the post-Jin. Regardless of whether you garrison troops or not, Houjin will definitely settle North Korea first.

Tomorrow I will leave for Yongping Mansion and take those people to Shanhaiguan, today is the last day in Weijiazhuang.

On this day, Wei Bao was very busy, visiting everywhere, and finally visited Gunship Bay.

Wei Bao is most interested in the progress of the military industry.

"If you're tired, go back and rest. That's also our president's mansion, you go there and rest first. Wei Bao said to Zhang Meiyuan, who had been by his side.

Zhang Meiyuan smiled, she didn't seem to be tired, but also seemed to be very energetic, "I'm very energetic, I usually practice some martial arts at home, husband, you don't think I'm really Miss Jiao who embroiders every day." ”

Wei Bao knew that Zhang Meiyuan knew a little martial arts, but the level was very low, far inferior to Wu Xuexia, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that you will feel bored." ”

"No, I'm very interested in everything in Weijiazhuang, so it's good to live here forever in the future." Zhang Meiyuan said.

"You want to stay long? Are you reluctant not to go back to Beijing? Wei Bao hopes that Zhang Meiyuan will live in Weijiazhuang for a long time, after all, Zhang Meiyuan is now his wife, no matter how good the British government is, but the political situation is changing rapidly, and it will be the sixth year of the apocalypse.

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, when the Emperor of the Apocalypse Zhu Youxiao returned to heaven, there would be a fierce struggle immediately, who knows what will happen?

The general trend of history is not easy to change, but the life of an individual like Zhang Meiyuan is still very variable, and Wei Bao is not at ease.

"Yes, my father is not very old, and if I want to go back, I will go back to visit my father in a few days, and I can let my father come to Weijiazhuang to see me often." Zhang Meiyuan said: "However, if my husband doesn't live here for a long time, I don't want to stay, I still hope to be by my husband's side from time to time." ”

Wei Bao smiled slightly, secretly wondering if you are really more coquettish than the other, what's so good about being by my side? It's okay to help, otherwise I'll be grinding my ears and temples every day, and I can only get drunk and lie in the gentle township, and I can't do anything.

"Then you should go back to the capital, you are in the capital, others will not criticize me, how to look at the face of the British government, otherwise I will be in the field for a long time, and if I encounter something, I will be talked about." Wei Bao laughed.

"Husband, listen to you, you don't treat me as a hostage, do you?" Zhang Meiyuan joked.

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that, I haven't heard of taking my wife out as a hostage." Wei Bao laughed.

"I'm joking, if I can help my husband as a hostage, I'm happy to be a hostage. At least, when someone criticizes her husband, they will say that even Mrs. Wei is still in the capital, and she can't run away, how can Lord Wei have two hearts? Zhang Meiyuan is telling the truth.

After seeing the situation in the area ruled by the Heaven and Earth Society, Zhang Meiyuan really felt that Wei Bao was capable of having two hearts!

"Fool, don't think too much, no matter what happens, I'm sure to put your safety first! How willing to take your risk! Wei Bao smiled slightly, took Zhang Meiyuan's hand and walked towards the dock in Weijiazhuang.

Wei Bao wants to see the torpedo boats and Krupp cannons being developed!

Of course, it is no longer possible to use the name Krupp cannon in this era.

Rather, it is called the President Type 1625 gun.

There was no prototype of the torpedo boat.

Because what I brought was a replica ironclad for play, and there was nothing else.

There are also several rescue air cushion kayaks and petrol engine-powered dinghys.

But there is a small model of a torpedo boat on the Zhenyuan ship, which is quite realistic.

At least in terms of construction, it is completely imitated in the style of torpedo boats purchased by the navy in the late Qing Dynasty at the beginning of the 20th century.

It has a certain reference role and can avoid many detours.

As for the Krupp cannon, it was developed mainly for iron-hulled ships powered by steam engines.

Compared to a rifle, the imitation of a cannon is actually a little simpler.

At least the accuracy requirements will not be so high.

These cannons were either used on fortifications or on ships.

It is not intended to equip the army.

Because of traffic restrictions, it was enough for the Bao army to be armed with grenadiers and uh small mortars at best.

These two items have not yet been cooked.

It can be said that whether it is armament or logistics, the treasure army is still only in its infancy and is immature.

Therefore, Wei Baocai often has difficulty deciding between fighting and not fighting.

If you know that you can win, then what do you want, just fight, and Jiannu is not a relative.
