The news of the reward here in Shenyang spread.

Hong Chengchou, who was dispatching manpower and materials in Jinzhou, heard the voice, and couldn't help but be speechless, and after a long time, he muttered to himself and sighed: "Jiandou This is what the sage said, Wen can govern the country, Wu can Anbang, and both civil and military can be knighted, and it is indeed not surprising, I, it is better to also!" ”

However, he also came back to his senses later, remembering that the emperor had said openly and honestly before that the extermination of captives was only the beginning of the benefit of future generations, and there would be meritorious deeds in the future. Far from it, just the upcoming war against the Japanese has a lot to offer.

The emperor had already led the army to fight, but at the beginning, he didn't expect to fight with the Japanese state immediately, so the grain and grass were definitely not enough to fight the Japanese army in a decisive battle. If you want to say that you can use a knife and a gun to kill the enemy on the battlefield, you are really not as good as Jiandou. However, the dispatch of money and food behind this and the coordination of the rear, I believe that Jiandou is not as good as himself. If you do these things well, with the wisdom of the emperor, you must know where your merits lie, even if you can't be knighted, he will enter the cabinet one day, it will be sooner or later!

Thinking like this, Hong Chengchou cheered up again, and decided to squeeze it again on Guan Ning's side, and try to free up some grain and grass for the emperor, and send it over at this time, I believe that the emperor will be happy!

…………

On the Zhenjiang Fort side of the Yalu River, Lu Xiangsheng is leading the army to arrange defenses, and the worst plan is to use the Yalu River as the boundary, anyway, he can't let the Japanese army fight to Liaodong again. It's not that I really think that the Japanese army has such a strong military strength, but on the side of the Ming Dynasty, there are not so many grain and grass materials.

He was busy with the dispatch of the night to investigate the movements in various parts of the Korean province, check the places where the river was crossed, and so on, when he received a messenger to report that the emperor had come to Zhenjiang Fort in person. Of course, inevitably, along with the news of the reward, it also came.

According to Li Laiheng, who was next to Lu Xiangsheng, later recalled, when the Governor heard that the emperor had named him Liaodong Bo, he dared to swear to the sky, and the Governor's eyes were obviously red and wanted to cry, not sand in his eyes!

Of course, the other soldiers were also happy, because they could also get grain fields on the outskirts of Shenyang.

As a result, when Emperor Chongzhen arrived at Zhenjiang Fort, Lu Xiangsheng had already rushed back from other places and led the whole army to welcome the holy car. The atmosphere of welcome is unprecedentedly high!

However, Lu Xiangsheng himself was rather disappointed, after seeing the emperor, in addition to thanking him, he immediately advised Emperor Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty, the food stored now is not enough for so many troops, Weichen suggests, Your Majesty can go back to Beijing to rest, here Weichen is watching, and he will definitely not let the Japanese army attack Liaodong!" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "I believe that with Lu Qing's ability, he can indeed do it." But I thought about going back and forth to North Korea, it was too far, and it was too much toss, so I wouldn't go, as for the food ......."

Speaking of this, after he paused, he pretended to be a hypocrisy: "Qing sent a carriage to the north and walked along the Tumen River, and he will definitely be able to gain something!" ”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly confirmed: "Your Majesty, but Li Dingguo took the grain from the Japanese State to Jianyu?" ”

Li Dingguo was sent out by him, so he naturally knew. However, at the beginning, he did not have enough understanding of the situation that the attack on Jianguo would be so smooth, so the military order given to Li Dingguo was to let him destroy the grain.

Later, after the situation was very smooth, Lu Xiangsheng actually thought about this batch of grain, but it was too far away, even if he sent someone to give the order, it would definitely be too late. Therefore, he did not think about the grain anymore. When I heard it at this time, it was naturally a surprise.

Emperor Chongzhen listened, nodded and smiled: "Yes, Li Dingguo, this kid, can adapt to changes and make the most favorable decisions, and in the future, he will be a talent who is in charge of himself." ”

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng immediately nodded. Not to mention anything else, this time of improvisation alone has provided very favorable conditions for the army, which is far greater than Li Dingguo's killing of thousands of his prisoners!

He was thinking about it, but he heard Emperor Chongzhen continue: "In addition, Zheng Zhilong's general army has already led the sailor to Lushun. He also brought a batch of grain with the army from Denglai. I have calculated, plus the food saved by the construction captives, it is almost enough. ”

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he was overjoyed again. The emperor is always like this, silently, and suddenly he is surprised, this situation is probably from the beginning of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, it seems to be the dream of Taizu.

At this time, he has deeply realized that a good official, or the emperor, whether it is on the battlefield or something else, is often handy to do, and often has the feeling of getting twice the result with half the effort, which is really a blessing for the minister!

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng was happy, Emperor Chongzhen said to him again: "Now, wait for our army to advance from the south to the north and disperse their forces. In addition, we will also wait for Zheng Zhilong's general army to lead the water division to defeat the Japanese water division and cut off the connection between the Korean Japanese army and the Japanese state, and then it will not be too late for our army to make a move! ”

At this time, if he directly entered Korea to take the initiative to seek a decisive battle against the Japanese army, it would not only increase the logistical pressure on the imperial court's officers and soldiers, but also the morale of the Japanese army when it first arrived in Korea, and a wise commander would definitely not increase the unfavorable factors for himself.

And as the emperor said, then the Japanese army must be very panicked after learning the news, which will definitely affect morale. Coupled with the continuous advance to the north, its military strength will definitely be dispersed, which is equivalent to increasing the chances of victory for its own side, which is the way to win!

"Your Majesty Shengming!" These thoughts flashed through Lu Xiangsheng's heart, and he immediately responded from the bottom of his heart.

As a result, the army began to rest on the side of Zhenjiang Fort, while receiving the grain from Li Dingguo's department, and waiting for the decisive battle of the naval division and the progress of the Japanese army through the eavesdropping system. On the Korean Peninsula, it was quiet for the time being.

…………

At this time, in the north of the Mongolian Daqing Mountain, there was a group of Ming troops, only 500 horsemen, continuing to advance north. Among the people at the head, one is dressed as a civil official, and the other is a serious Mongolian, but at this time he is wearing the official robe of the Earl of the Ming Kingdom, he is the first Mongolian tribe to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, the head of the Karaqin tribe Gulu Siqibu.

"My lord, if you go forward for half a day, you will reach the sphere of influence of the Khalkha Mongol tribes, and you should be able to meet their rangers." I saw Gulu Siqibu respectfully introduce to the Ming civil official.

This civil official is also famous in later generations, called Fang Yizhi. He was a Jinshi in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, and was elected as a Shujishi, if he followed the original historical trajectory, he would be in Beijing to serve as the official of the Ministry of Industry Guanzheng, the Hanlin Yuan Review, the Emperor Dingwang and the Yongwang. And after the destruction of the city of Beijing, he continued to engage in the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty.

However, in this plane, because Emperor Chongzhen attaches great importance to the study of nature, and this study of nature is precisely Fang Yizhi who is very interested in the influence of the elders of the family, so when he served as the reviewer of the Hanlin Academy, he devoted himself to the study of nature, and he did not become a lecturer.

The more you study this science of nature, the more mysterious it will be.

In the original history, he had already begun to write "Tongya" and "Physics Knowledge" in the fourteenth and sixteenth years of Chongzhen, respectively. But on this plane, he felt that his knowledge was far from enough.

In addition, Emperor Chongzhen advocated practice to produce true knowledge, and the emperor's favorite minister Song Yingxing was a model, and he traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, and finally won the book "Heavenly Creation". Therefore, Fang Yizhi also hid an idea that he wanted to continue to increase his knowledge and write a satisfactory book.

And a few years ago, he happened to hear that the imperial court was going to send an envoy to Mobei to announce the decree, after the emperor had pacified the grassland, he felt that it should not be a big problem to send an envoy to Mobei, so he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to take a look at the scenery of the north. So, I thought of a way to get this errand in my hands.

And the imperial court sent an envoy to Mobei, so it was natural for a familiar person to lead the way, and Gulu Siqibu, who was retired in Beijing, was the best candidate.

At this time, Gulu Siqibu really saw the strength of the Ming Dynasty, and he was very glad in his heart, how wise and martial he was in his original decision, and because of this, there were so many grassland tribes, but only he was knighted by the Ming Emperor.

However, although he has a knighthood, after all, he was born in a Mongolian tribe, and his waist has never dared to be too hard, not to mention, the current envoy is the Ming Jinshi, who was selected as the Shu Jishi, and may become the civil official of the Ming Dynasty in the future, so Gulu Siqibu is very careful to serve Fang Yizhi.

However, Fang Yizhi was a more pragmatic official after all, and he did not take the opportunity to put on an official show, but took advantage of this opportunity to go north, and constantly asked Gulu Siqibu about various experiences in the Mongolian steppe along the way, so as to increase his experience.

At this time, when he heard Gulu Siqibu's reminder, he knew that it was about to arrive, so he collected his thoughts and prepared to complete the errand assigned by the imperial court first.

Sure enough, just as Gulu Siqibu said, they soon encountered the rangers of the three tribes of Mobei, so before the people arrived, the news was transmitted back first.

These three tribes in the north of the desert have the most thoughts about the Chechen Khan. They lived in the power of the previous Jianlu and surrendered, but Shuolei also secretly traded with the Ming side, and finally was discovered by the Jianlu in the ninth year of Chongzhen and was threatened again, so he completely cut off contact with the Ming side.

In the original history, this fortress in 1646 would have induced the Mongols of the Horqin Sunit to betray the Manchus and send 30,000 troops to help them resist the Manchu army, trying to gain independence from the Manchu rule. However, he was defeated by the Manchu army, and finally had to rest his thoughts and had to resume paying tribute to the Manchus.

At this time, when he heard the news that an envoy from the Ming Kingdom was coming, he couldn't help frowning and said: "Isn't this just asking Ben Khan to surrender, it's just that in the past half a year, he actually sent another envoy, what does it mean?" ”

What he was referring to was that when the Ao Han Bandi Department went north to preach the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, he notified the three tribes of Mobei to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. This happened last year.
