That night, the Daning General Staff Headquarters was brightly lit, and large maps of Liaodong and Goryeo were hung in the halls of the General Staff. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the hall of the Daning General Staff, Guan Shanyue's fingers tapped rhythmically on the tabletop, and a doubt lingered in his heart. He turned to stare at Liu Wenxiu beside him, and asked puzzledly: "Wen Fu, Hou Jin and Wu father and son, such a big movement, why doesn't the staff know anything?" ”

Liu Wenxiu's face turned pale, and he said helplessly: "There is no fixed time for the spies to be released to contact the General Staff, and the longest time used to be once a month. This time it dragged on too long, and the people sent to investigate failed to get in touch with the spies in Houjin and Shanhaiguan. However, according to their observations, Shanhaiguan and Houjin are now only allowed to enter but not leave, probably they are trapped in the city and can't get out, and even the flying pigeons pass the book into the sea. ”

Guan Shanyue's heart immediately became heavy, and an ominous feeling arose spontaneously from the bottom of his heart, "The brother sent may be more auspicious than lucky, and Kong Long, the head of the stall sent to Shanhaiguan, is a bold and chivalrous man, I hope he will turn evil into good fortune and return safely." ”

Liu Wenxiu knew that it was superfluous to say anything now, sighed, got up and clasped his fists, and said sadly: "This is all the negligence of the humble duty, please condemn the adult." ”

Guan Shanyue waved her hand, motioned for Liu Wenxiu to sit down, and said with relief: "Wen Fu, you are not a thousand-armed Guanyin, and you have been busy collecting and sorting out information about the Rakshasa Kingdom recently, how can you do everything." It's just that now the weak balance has finally been broken, and Houjin has half of the Goryeo Peninsula, so it has strategic depth and supply bases. Especially those Goryeo sticks that have surrendered, they should not be underestimated. Hou Jin Ke doesn't care whether they are men or women, or old, weak, sick and disabled, they are soldiers when they rush to the battlefield. Huang Taiji is not simple, and Dolgon is not simple. ”

The stakes in this Liu Wenxiu were the same as Ming Jing'er in her heart, and she blamed herself: "It's all Wenxiu's slackness, otherwise we won't let them grow big under our noses." ”

Guan Shanyue shook her head with a smile and said with a smile: "Wen Fu, your personality is like Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms, you must bow down to everything, and you will have to die of exhaustion sooner or later." However, it is easy to get the egg when the step is bigger, and I predict that Jin will decline due to civil strife in the future, and we can take the opportunity to strengthen the rebellion and espionage war. It's almost time, the sand table in the war room should be piled up, let's go to the war room and have a look. ”

The vast war room was packed with people, and candles of eight arms in a special position illuminated the room as if it were daylight. More than 60 people were divided into three factions, attacking Houjin, attacking Wu's father and son, and attacking the Japanese and Kou, each insisting on their own ideas, arguing violently around the sand table in the middle of the table.

Guan Shanyue had a splitting headache, the time was already in the middle of the night, and he was now refreshing himself with strong tea, "Wen Fu, the argument is almost over, tell me your opinion." ”

Liu Wenxiu's eyebrows tightened, he walked to the sand table in front of him, pointed to the Goryeo Peninsula and said: "The northern part of Goryeo is mainly mountainous, and there are narrow plains in the south, which is their production area. Now that Houjin has been replenished by the population, it is bound to use the Goryeo people who returned to Shun as cannon fodder, and they also have their allies in the rear as backing. It is not advisable to go to war. The southern part of Goryeo, which was occupied by the Japanese state, was backed by the Houjin in the north, and it was unrealistic to jump Houjin to attack the Japanese Tokugawa Immitsu in the south. ”

Liu Wenxiu's remarks are quite in line with Guan Shanyue's appetite, and he also believes that the top priority now is to take Shanhaiguan. He got up from the chair and stood up, walked to the sand table and took a closer look, and said worriedly: "You have to take the Wu family father and son, the position of Shanhaiguan is too important." Before they can completely fall backwards, they must take Shanhaiguan. ”

Liu Wenxiu was thorough at one point, and immediately understood Guan Shanyue's intentions, "My lord knows everything, this Shanhaiguan is simply the Wu father and son, a sharp sword hanging over the head of Beijing City that will fall at any time, whether it is by land or sea, it is threatening the safety of Beijing City." As long as Shanhaiguan is not in our hands, the saint will not be allowed to return to the capital one day. ”

"Fight steadily, first take Wu Sangui and then fight Houjin, just enter the Goryeo Peninsula to fight, mountain warfare is not Daning's forte, and people are worried." The lessons of the Volunteer Army are still vivid, Guan Shanyue will not rashly enter a strange environment to fight, and he must do his homework and preparation before this.

Liu Wenxiu dragged his chin and groaned slightly, raised his head and said tentatively: "Mountain combat is not my forte, nor is it the forte of Houjin. However, there is a notorious mountain force in the Ming Dynasty - Mao Hulu soldiers, who are all outlaws such as miners and salt workers, why don't you use them for your own use? ”

Guan Shanyue has always been eclectic in employing people, and in the eyes of others it is a moat that cannot be passed, and in his eyes it is not even a trench, and he said without hesitation: "Give them a chance to wash their white, and tell them that the internal gourd soldiers are rats crossing the street, and they are national heroes externally." With such a strong educational ability of our Daning General Staff, they will inevitably be reborn. ”

Liu Wenxiu breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "The intelligence officers in the south have sent the latest piece of information, presumably the adults have not known about it. That is, King Fu has been making frequent changes recently, according to the analysis of our intelligence officers, it seems that he means that he wants to take advantage of the chaos to enter the Jingshi. ”

"King Fu wants to ascend the throne? He's really good at finding the time. Guan Shanyue smiled angrily, thought about it again and again, and decided to clean up Wu Sangui first, "Let the meat rot in the pot, King Fu of Beijing can't move it." ”

At dawn, after some careful discussion and brainstorming, a mature battle plan was finally settled.

In order not to startle the snake, the Daning army secretly entered the customs from the Jieling Pass. Guan Shanyue led the Heavenly Wolf Battalion, the Firearms Battalion and the 50,000 New Army to attack Shanhaiguan, Li Dingguo led the 50,000 New Army to attack Ninghai City, and He Wenlong led the 50,000 New Army to attack the Jiaoshan Great Wall and Weiyuan City.

Setel also led the Taining Battalion, the Divine Arrow Battalion and 20,000 cavalry to wait for the opportunity to prevent the Houjin raid.

Coming and not being rude, Sebuteng led the sailors to set out from Sakhalin, take Ezo Island, and firmly control it in his hands (at that time, Ezo Island was not in the hands of Benzi).

Guan Shanyue, whose eyes were scarlet, sent the battle plan to Emperor Chongzhen's case non-stop, he rubbed his sore eyes, and looked at Emperor Chongzhen, whose eyes were bloodshot, with a stunned face, "Saint, why are your eyes so scarlet, but what are you worried about?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't wait to read the detailed battle plan, but before he could answer, Wang Chengen, who was standing aside and yawning, waved his hand and interjected: "Since Lord Guan left, the saint has been sitting on the dragon chair for a night, and he has not slept all night. ”

"I want you to talk more." Emperor Chongzhen was quite satisfied with this battle plan, he raised his head and smiled at Guan Shanyue, and said: "If I encounter Aiqing, my country may not be like this. I think that back then, I gave Yuan Chonghuan absolute trust, and after five years of returning to Liao, it was a deception that I didn't understand military affairs back then! This battle plan, I'm right. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Before leaving, Guan Shanyue wasted a lot of effort before he explained to Emperor Chongzhen why population is also a strategic resource.

Inspired by him, on the same day, while continuing to encourage childbearing, in order to alleviate the population shortage in the four northern provinces, Emperor Chongzhen granted amnesty to political prisoners in the world. Of course, there are additional conditions, that is, all prisoners must move their families to the border areas of the four northern provinces to reclaim the land.

Emperor Chongzhen played a good hand, this move can not be described as unintelligent. These prisoners are all high-quality talents, they have cultural knowledge, and some even have one or even many skills. Relocating them to the border areas of the four northern provinces and turning the former detainees into new homes can not only reduce internal affairs expenditures, but also consolidate border defense, and promote the development of culture and education in remote areas while speeding up ethnic integration.

Migration, the detainees must be resistant, but compared to the prison in the darkness of life, the free sky of the four northern provinces is simply within reach. What's more, the snowflake-like "Daming Daily" advertised the four northern provinces as a paradise on earth, and they did not go to the legendary "wild" Hainan, they were not moved, and their families were already tempted.

It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and a funny scene appeared, and the edict issued by Emperor Chongzhen was the first to respond to the people under the rule of King Fu. They have different political views from King Fu, as if a drowning person in the ocean has grasped a life-saving straw, and he is willing to let go of this line of life. I tried all kinds of ways to get the road slip, and secretly went to report to the Daning Household Department.

At the same time, a secret decree was issued from Tianning City, and the disguised brocade guards rushed towards Mu Wangfu non-stop.

The horn of the assembly finally sounded, and the horses that were fat and strong carrying military orders started from the Daning Governor's Mansion and ran to all directions of the four northern provinces, and the military orders were all obeyed.

The entire four northern provinces moved and let out an earth-shattering roar, turning into a terrifying war machine. Overnight, all economic and productive activities in the four provinces were centered on war, and all kinds of military and strategic material resources were constantly moving down the production line, heading towards Daning and toward the front line where the war was about to begin.

The strong battle spirit turned into a tiger descending from the mountain, and swooped towards the Shanhaiguan.
