Li Jingxin said, fight, of course you have to fight, as soon as the cannon goes off, the gold is ten thousand taels, and you don't fight the master to make money. Small fights are better than big fights, short-term fights are better than long-term fights. It's best to fight every day. Anyway, the money has been taken away by the civilian officials, and they can't change these facts, and now their own strength can't change any reality, rather than sending them to the Qinhuai River, it's better to let yourself take it out and use it to engage in industry.

"So the war with Jiannu is long-term, this time you are to practice first, get to know each other first, the coming day is long, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, don't fold the book at once, but you will be out. You have to know what you can and can't do when you get there, and what you have to be careful about. Beware of the local northern soldiers finding fault, Aunt Qin, you must restrain your subordinates and do not contact the northern soldiers, lest they pick quarrels and provoke trouble. ”

Qin Liangyu smiled bitterly and looked at the half-grown child in front of him, he treated him as a child, but it was his own people who seemed to be naïve. This made his people almost lame, so he stretched out his hand to grab Li Jing's ear, and scolded with a smile: "You little erection, you messed up the hearts of our army in the middle of the night, and you still can't recruit any intentions." ”

"Oh, it hurts, Aunt Qin, it hurts" Li Jing hurriedly begged for mercy, "Aunt Qin, I just think that you can't rush to win, and this time Liaodong will inevitably be lost, don't be used as cannon fodder"

"You little bastard, the battle hasn't been fought yet, you dare to say that Liaodong is going to lose."

"Aunt Qin, you let go first, oops, it hurts, don't you smell it, the wind starts at the end of Qingping, the moon is dizzy and the wind, the foundation is moist and rainy, although the personnel are different, the reason is the same. But he who is good at seeing can see and know. When everything happens, I don't know that such people who are late to realize it are not enough to make a living. ”

"Well said, a good sentence starts at the end of Qingping." Qin Liangyu let go of his hand. "You fool your Aunt Qin so much, what do you want to do?"

"Aunt Qin, you have to establish an advanced concept, that is, every time you send troops, you must have a profit, you can't lose money, and there is no contradiction between being loyal to the monarch and patriotism and seeking some benefits for the Shizhu soldiers. You have to treat this dispatch as a deal, and you don't think of yourself as a commander."

"Don't be a handsome, shopkeeper"

"This time the little nephew will ship you to Liaodong, the cost is not low, the little nephew can also ship grain to you, you don't have to go in vain to Liaodong this time, the goods that Mongolia and Jurchen have entered the market are all kinds of livestock: horses, mules, donkeys, cattle, sheep. Various skins: mink, tiger, leopard, bear, deer, fat, fox, otter, etc. All kinds of mountain goods: ginseng, fungus, pine nuts, honey, etc. ”

"You won't let me trade with Jiannu, right," Qin Liangyu looked at Li Jing with an unkind look in his eyes

"Aunt Qin's Liaodong is not just Jiannu, there is communication with other Mongolian and Jurchen tribes, it is not a bad thing to help them become strong, especially the Yehe people, they must not be annexed by Jianzhou, if Jianzhou unifies the Mongol and Jurchen tribes, do you say it is a good thing or a bad thing."

Qin Liangyu was silent, obviously Li Jing was right. However, this is also the cheese of the wealthy families and Jiangmen in Liaodong, but it has its own benefits, and it is necessary to weigh the pros and cons. I am a toast, and I am afraid that they will not be impeached, so it is a big deal to bring the troops back to the stone pillar, and I am not afraid that they will come hard with 10,000 soldiers in hand.

"According to the weather in Liaodong, I estimate that the war will break out in March (the third month of the lunar calendar, which is equivalent to the fourth month of the solar calendar), when the Liao River has been opened, and the ice and snow in Liaodong will melt and the Liao water will rise sharply in spring. It can be navigated to the city of Yehe. If they want to trap you and the rest of the Qi family's army to death, the little nephew will prepare boats to transport you to retreat in the Liao River and the Hunhe River (small boats can be navigated during the flood season and spring snowmelt season of the Hunhe River, and most of them are shoals in normal times).

"There is a big silver mine near Yehe, developed out, a million taels of silver a year is not a problem, if you can negotiate, the two sides will cooperate, Shizhu and Yehe will cooperate to build a fort in the silver mine, and the little nephew will transport materials to you by water to keep Yehe. It is the greatest contribution to the Ming Dynasty. ”

As he spoke, Li Jing pointed out the location of the silver mine on the map. It is located in a small hill near Yehe and near the main stream of the Liao River. "Except for the four months of winter, when it is not navigable, the rest of the time the garrison can be transported locally by ships and stone pillars. Shizhu has a population of more than 3 million, and there are at least 300,000 soldiers of appropriate age, Aunt Qin, who can have 20,000 people at a time, for half a year, rotate and station, open mines and guard, and the Yehe people will not be able to refine silver. As long as the three agree on the proportion. That's a lot of money. Coupled with the purchase of local products, especially horses, the mainland is very valuable. Then communicate with the savage Jurchens in the north, all kinds of eastern pearls, leather goods, ginseng, and medicinal materials. After a year, the stone pillar can have an income of 500,000 taels. ”

As soon as they heard that 500,000 taels of silver were a year, the eyes of the stone pillar generals were red, and they all looked at the handsome with burning eyes. They are really poor. These generals could not come up with ten taels of silver in their families.

"Aunt Qin doesn't believe in the little nephew, seeing that the little nephew is young, he can't believe it" looked at Qin Liangyu and groaned. Li Jing said with a smile.

"What you said must be true, Aunt Qin has been fighting for half her life, I haven't seen any big storms, this time you are willing to borrow tens of thousands of taels of silver, which is the biggest guarantee, what do I not believe. It's just that in this way, I was originally going to King Qin, but how did it turn into going to Liaodong to grab territory. ”

"My Aunt Qin, public and private, public and private, only things that are beneficial can last for a long time, as a toast, how can you think about the people below, the stone pillar is barren and the people are poor, and there is no silver in the soil. Besides, those savage Jurchens have benefits, and if they can survive by trade, they will not allow Jianzhou to destroy our business, and whoever dares to stop them from trading with us will fight with whomever they want. They can be more savage and capable of fighting than the Jianzhou people. The little nephew is not afraid of making you angry, you can fight, you are really not an opponent of the princes of the court, and now the only thing that can save the Ming Dynasty is to curb the Jiannu, and they must not be allowed to unify Liaodong. It is necessary to use interests to divide and disintegrate the Mongols and Jurchens, firmly hold them in, and isolate them to establish states. Stabilize the situation first, and then talk about other things. ”
