Yuan Keli's words can be regarded as representing a kind of spirit, that is, when your strength is insufficient, you must have the courage to fight, with courage, the gap between the enemy and us will be much smaller, and without courage, even if the strength of both sides is about the same, you will feel inferior everywhere. Of course, courage is needed, but we must also face up to the gap between us and the enemy and find a way to make up for it.

After listening to Wang Zaijin and Yuan Keli's words, Ni Yuanlu nodded again and again, and Sun Chengzong asked strangely: "Yuanlu, you started to say that you had an idea and just wanted to get help from Lord Wang, but listening to their words, it seems that there is nothing to help you, what do you mean by nodding again and again?" ”

Wang Zaijin also said: "Yes, Lord Ni is a little clever, do you get any inspiration from it?" ”

Ni Yuanlu nodded and said, "Lord Wang is right, Xia Guan did get some inspiration from the words of the two of you, but this is not a little clever. ”

Wang Zaijin said: "Then you come and listen." ”

Ni Yuanlu said: "I got two inspirations from the words of the two, one is to continue to train and increase the courage of soldiers, and the other is to find a way to use the new type of artillery as soon as possible. If I could miniature the cannon and disguise it on the car and fight while running, the Jurchen cavalry would be like that. ”

Sun Chengzong's eyes lit up when he heard this, his original purpose of forming the car battalion was to use it as a mobile city wall plus a transport vehicle, and later renamed the car artillery battalion to prepare for a tiger squat cannon, thinking that this thing was more lethal than throwing guns and bows and arrows. Now Ni Yuanlu said that the cannon was miniaturized and mounted on the cart of the car camp, and the creativity was placed on his head, which made Sun Chengzong overjoyed.

At this time, Wang Zaijin also nodded and said: "It seems that Lord Ni is not only smart, but his brain is still very flexible, but the miniaturization of the new cannon is only a matter of saying that it has not been successful, and it is difficult to train more to increase the courage of soldiers." ”

Sun Chengzong thought that he had calculated that Wang Zaijin was a little embarrassed, usually as long as Wang Zaijin didn't do too much, even if he was a little offended, he would put up with it, but now when he was happy, he couldn't help it anymore when he heard Wang Zaijin pouring cold water next to him, and turned his head and asked Wang Zaijin: "Listen to Lord Wang, do you mean that you have an opinion on the soldiers in Jizhou?" Why is it that the sailors of the Southeast Military Region can increase their courage by training in Heduo, but the soldiers of Jizhou cannot increase their courage through training on the grassland? ”

Wang Zaijin smiled bitterly: "Lord Sun misunderstood, it is a fact that the Ming army lacks training now, compared to the Jurchens and Mongols who grew up on horseback since childhood, as for why the sailors in the sea can increase their courage through training, I think there is no way to put them to death." Let's think about it, when the timid side encounters danger during the war, the first thing is to run for their lives, and the one who is wrong and ignores everyone and turns around and runs, and there are many people who only care about their own lives when they are fighting in the war. It's impossible to be without cowards, the problem is that you can't run alone, so even if you don't have the courage, you have to have it at that time. ”

When Sun Chengzong heard this, it was really true, even if the soldiers on the ship wanted to run, they had no way to run privately, they either ran together or jumped into the sea to feed the fish by themselves. He nodded and said, "After Yuan Lu goes back, think about how to train and miniaturize the artillery, and now let Lu Xiangsheng Lu General Soldier say your opinion." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Lord Ni began to talk about how to defend by attacking on the grassland, and I want to talk about the idea of resettlement of the Karaqin people. I remember that the emperor once said that after pacifying the Tusi, they would not be allowed to control both the military and the people, and only allowed the Tusi to manage the same, so that they could not become independent small kingdoms, only his territory could not appear self-sufficient, and he had no idea of rebellion, because under the premise of separating the military and the people, they could not do without the dispatch of the imperial court. I think it's best to use this trick for these Karaqin people as well, the Mongolian soldiers who came over are with the original Ming army, and the people who are grazing and farming are with the Ming people. ”

Sun Chengzong said: "General Lu meant to let the young Mongols defend the city with the Ming soldiers, and the old and weak women and children would farm or graze with the ordinary people, which did have a certain amount of truth and was in line with the emperor's will." However, the Mongols were accustomed to horse warfare, so they were probably not used to defend the city, and there was not so much land within the border walls for them to graze and cultivate. ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Didn't a few adults say at the beginning, the best defense on the grassland is to attack, and we can put some of the original cavalry of the Ming army together with the Mongolian cavalry, and treat them equally." As for the fact that there is not so much land for grazing, a part of the western Liaoning region east of Shanhaiguan, west of Ningyuan, and south of the Daling River can be divided to settle people. I know that this is the emperor's imperial village, and it is the land where the imperial court promised the emperor to collect taxes for 30 years when he was short of money, but this land must be planted and grazing by someone and does not need to be divided into who farms and who grazes, and only needs to hand over the taxes that should be paid to the emperor at that time. ”

Gao Di said: "The imperial court has an agreement with Lin Dan Khan, if the Karaqin people go out of the border wall, Lin Dan Khan can be exterminated at will, our 30,000 cavalry has been brought to the Northwest Military Region, if the Mongolian cavalry team is set up alone, I am afraid that it will not be able to hide from Lin Dan Khan, and there will be trouble at that time." Lord Lu said that let our cavalry mix with the Karaqin cavalry, should we transfer Cao Wenzhao back or re-recruit people? ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "I heard that Yuan Chonghuan and Lord Yuan of the Northeast Military Region were organizing cavalry last year, and he put forward a slogan called 'Raising Liao people with Liao soil'. ”

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng said this, everyone turned their heads to look at Xiong Tingbi, the overseer of the Northeast Military Region, Xiong Tingbi coughed lightly and said: "According to the requirements of the Military Affairs Yuan, the defense affairs should be slowly handed over to the local governor or governor, and the Northeast Military Region has been handed over to Lord Yuan in front." Lord Yuan's idea and the best defense was to attack, and he gathered more than 7,000 horsemen from the defending troops and immigrants under the slogan of 'defend the Liao people to defend the Liao land and raise the Liao people with the Liao land', ready to launch an attack on the Jurchens at any time. Our field troops of the Northeast Military Region are trying to find a way to capture Jinzhou, and we have only reported to the Military Affairs Yuan about Lord Yuan and have not asked too much. ”

Sun Chengzong nodded and said: "I know about this, Cao Wenzhao just left Yuan Chonghuan with 30,000 cavalry, and he was starting to prepare, at that time, you all went to the military region to report to the emperor, and the emperor also agreed with Yuan Chonghuan's approach." Of course, Lord Yuan did not dare to be bold enough to take out the emperor's imperial village and divide the people, he promised his subordinates that after capturing the area east of Ningyuan and occupying it, he could divide the occupied land to them, and the emperor also added an article after knowing it, that is, five years of tax exemption, ten years halved and the right to inherit, the soldiers were very happy after hearing it. ”

Wang Yongguang asked: "Lord Sun, the Northeast Military Region can indeed improve the morale of the officers and men by doing this, I wonder if the Northwest Military Region can do the same?" The lower officers are also struggling with how to improve the morale of the soldiers of the Northwest Military Region. ”

Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said, "It should be possible, but you have to ask the emperor for instructions first, and you must also pay attention to the direction and region." The land that Yuan Chonghuan proposed to divide was occupied by the Jurchens east of Ningyuan, and the Jurchens were our enemies, so we would occupy them. Outside the Northwest Military Region, there is a 2 cuo shu 3 duke sun twist 9 uh? Hiss Shaped Grave 6?Trick?? 14 fangs of ash? Mei Zi is small! Package br>

As soon as Wang Yongguang heard that he needed to pay attention to so much, he immediately began to retreat, and even said that he wanted to think about it, and everyone said some other things, and Sun Chengzong wrote down everyone's opinions and asked people to present them to the apocalypse.

It is now the end of June, and Tianqi held a banquet in the palace to celebrate Feng Siqin's twentieth birthday, and at the same time named her a concubine. According to the original regulations of the Apocalypse, the twenty-year-old is a five-grade servant, the twenty-year-old is a fourth-grade beauty, a nobleman and the like, a thirty-year-old concubine is the third grade, and a forty-year-old concubine is the second grade. This is done in order to avoid competing for a position in the harem, everyone is treated according to age, and there are special contributions such as giving birth to children, Feng Siqin is twenty years old today and has a son who is just enough to be a concubine.

After Feng Siqin was crowned concubine, except for those honored old people, she was second only to the queen in the palace, although the name here in the apocalypse has no meaning except that the offering is different from before, but the upgrade is always desirable and pleasant. In fact, Feng Siqin is also happy about one thing, that is, in order to prevent her brother Feng Xianglong from being brainwashed by the Taixi people, Tianqi found Feng Xianglong an errand, that is, he set up a Nanjing office of Chishu Company in Nanjing, specializing in investing in new and valuable investment channels.

Everyone congratulated Feng Siqin and started to eat, after eating, it was naturally a routine activity to play mahjong, Tianqi was playing happily with the queen and Feng Siqin and others, and talked about it and said that Lord Sun of the Military Affairs Yuan asked him to send a copy of the book and asked if he could watch it now. Tianqi took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but be a little distracted, the queen was unfavorable to the war, so she asked, "What is the emperor thinking?" If there is a major event in the Military Affairs Yuan, the emperor should not delay the military affairs. ”

Tianqi shook his head and said: "It's not a big deal, some Mongolians came over a while ago, and there is no place to settle in the Great Wall, so if they are placed outside the Great Wall, they are afraid that they will be bullied or will not be intimate with us for a long time." After deliberation, the Military Affairs Yuan said that they would be divided into two parts, the army and the defenders of Liaodong, and those who did not want to fight would be mixed with the people in the Huangzhuang of Liaoxi∞ I wondered if there would be any problems in doing this, and if another family suddenly lived in one family, would the two families get along in harmony, if there was a fight in two days, it would be boring, do you have any good ideas? ”

The queen said: "We don't understand the war, how to let the two families live together without contradictions and no knowledge, today Feng Cairen has just been promoted to Hui Concubine, she has a lot of ideas, let her talk about it." ”

Feng Siqin was in a happy mood today, and when she heard the queen let herself, she asked unyieldingly: "I don't know if the reason for mixing the Mongols with the Ming people in the compromise, is there any follow-up method?" ”

Tianqi said: "The reason is to turn the Mongols into the people of the Ming Dynasty, that is to say, there will be no Han and Mongols in the future, and everyone will be a part of the Ming Dynasty." The follow-up measures were not said, but only that in the future, no distinction would be made between high and low, and it was specifically mentioned that Man Gui, the chief soldier of the Northeast Military Region, was a Mongol, which had a certain convincing effect on those Mongols. ”

Feng Siqin thought for a while and said: "The concubine's private opinion is that this idea is good, but if there is no effective follow-up means, there will be great hidden dangers if all this goes on. It may be a little rude for the concubine to say this, but it is true, please forgive the emperor. ”
