Li Chengliang even wanted to take the test for Li Mi, and the latter was also a little puzzled, but he didn't dare to be contemptuous, so he immediately stood and listened quietly.

Li Chengliang looked at Li Mi and Li Rusong, and then said calmly.

"In the early years of Wanli, the old man and Zhang Shoufu were also proud, in addition to continuing to build the border wall in eastern Liaodong, the old man also suggested the construction of the six forts of Kuandian, and with the support of the first assistant, he made a great contribution."

"According to the old man's meaning, the imperial court moved to build the Huanshan Fort in Zhangqiha, and built the dangerous mountain fort in Kuandian, and the four forts of Xin'an along the river were placed in Changdian and Changling, which is the prototype of the six forts in Kuandian."

"The topography of this Kuandian Liubao is critical, adjacent to the Jianzhou Jurchen Department, and west of the Yalu River, the strategic position cannot be ignored, and the old man's eyes at that time were poisonous."

"After the six forts were completed, the old man opened a border market with this, and traded with those natives, and many chiefs also inherited the old man's affection because of this, and they have been obedient for decades, and they also helped the old man to fight when necessary."

"As for the soldiers of the army, it goes without saying, in addition to Tuntian, these border trade businesses have enough oil and water to fish, compared with the Qi family's army, my Li Jiajun is better or worse than the Qi family's army, but it is definitely richer than the Qi family's army."

When Li Chengliang said this, he also raised his head slightly, looking quite proud, which means that Li Mi also knows.

Li Chengliang and Qi Jiguang are contemporaries, when Zhang Juzheng was in power, he used Li Chengliang to town Liaodong and Qi Jiguang to town Jimen, which was praised.

It's just that Qi Jiguang has already become famous because of his fight against the Japanese invaders, and then he repaired the side wall in Jizhen, invented the enemy platform, etc., and many people compare Qi Jiguang with him Li Chengliang.

However, Qi Jiguang has been an ancient man for more than ten years, but he Li Chengliang is still alive and well, at first many people thought that Li Chengliang was going to be like Qi Jiguang, was dismissed and died.

But Li Chengliang, who is in his seventies, has recovered again, and he is also an official reinstated and controls Liaodong again, which is much more beautiful than Qi Jiguang!

There is a saying that is true, the winner is the one who laughs at the end, and life is already a win if you live a long time.

Li Mi naturally also knows how great the significance of the six forts of Kuandian is, although the Ming Dynasty is extremely strong in foreign wars, but the expansion of territory is not satisfactory, Li Chengliang can open up the border, it is a great achievement.

What's more, the construction of this Kuandian six forts, in addition to the strategic significance, but also brought tangible benefits, the six forts began to be tuntian, the people began to settle down, the twenty or thirty years of development, Kuandian six treasures gathered day by day, has reached more than 64,000 families!

It is not difficult to occupy a place, but it is the most difficult to truly turn that place into one's own territory.

After all, people are not beasts, it is not like lions and tigers, peeing around and pulling a few pieces of, that place is your territory, and it is not just a random flag and it is said to be yours.

Declaring sovereignty is one thing, actual control is the key, so after Li Chengliang built the fortress, he still gave birth to tens of thousands of households there, which is a large population of more than 100,000!

These people will be protected by the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, they can settle fields and do business there, they can live well, they are grateful to Li Chengliang, and they are even more loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

After these twenty or thirty years of efforts, Kuandian Liubao naturally became the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Mi has already done his homework, and the origin is still relatively clear, but he doesn't know what Li Chengliang means when he suddenly mentions this.

Li Chengliang was really in poor spirits when he thought about it, and he was about to doze off at the point, for fear that his brain would be confused, and he was not verbose, so he continued to Li Mi.

"The old man doesn't hide it from you, Nuer Hachi is becoming more and more disobedient, and he is trying to win over the chiefs in the tribe, and whoever is disobedient will be beaten on the ass, and he will no longer listen to the old man......"

"Nuer Hachi?" Li Mizi knows who this person is, that is the founding ancestor of the Qing Dynasty, later generations think that Nurhachi is the meaning of wild boar skin, some people say that it is actually the meaning of wild boar, originated from places like West Asia, wild boars and lions and tigers are general, are fierce things, to give the child a name, but also hope that the child can be brave and fearless.

It is also believed that the Jianzhou Jurchens used the Mongolian language, which came from the Uighur language, and that Nurhachi was actually a "descendant of light."

Li Mi didn't want to study this in depth, when he had a name, the Ming people usually called him Nuer Hachi, that is, Nuer Hachi, and the wild boar skin didn't care about him.

"Kuandian Liubao and Qinghe are the middle boundary between the Jianzhou Jurchen and my Liaodong, Nuer Hachi has been eyeing and coveting for a long time, especially in the past two years, large and small conflicts, have reached a situation where they cannot sit idly by......"

"So...... So the old man thought about it, give up the six forts of Kuandian......"

"What ?!!!"

Hearing this, Li Mi and Li Rumei were stunned, and Li Rumei took the lead in jumping up and said.

"Father must not do this! This is your immortal achievement, if you give up the six forts, it will be a late festival, and this history book is not sure how to write it! ”

Li Chengliang glanced at Li Rumei coldly: "The old man is not dead yet, the trouble in front of him has not been solved, how to pay attention to the posthumous comments!" ”

"Just because this is the foundation established by the old man, it must not be destroyed in the hands of Nuer Hachi!"

"I only said to give up Liubao, but I didn't say that I would give it up, I would let all the people of Liubao move to Liaodong, and the population will all move back, leaving only an empty shell for him, but it can be exchanged for ten or even twenty years of stability, why not?"

Li Mi finally understood what Li Chengliang's so-called exam was.

Li Mi had not read this history, he had not studied much about this incident, and he was not a military expert to make the best assessment.

As Li Chengliang said, it is also worth giving up Liubao and moving all the people of Liubao to the mainland, only using an empty shell in exchange for ten years of stability.

From this point of view, Li Chengliang does have a lofty place, because if he gives up the six forts, he will bear the infamy of Qianfu, but being able to exchange for peace is a selfless merit for the border people and the army.

However, Li Mi knows very well that Nuer Hachi is by no means able to satisfy his appetite with one Kuandian Six Forts, and today you can give up the Kuandian Six Forts in exchange for peace, and next time they will be even more aggressive!

Some historians in later generations blamed the entry of the Later Jin Dynasty on the rebellion of Wu Sangui and others against the Ming Dynasty, and some people said that if it were not for the Ming Dynasty's persecution too urgently, Nuer Hachi would not have sued the world with the "Seven Great Hatreds" and conquered the Ming Dynasty.

It's just a fart!

The Jurchen tribe is like the Mongol tribe, their ambition can never be satisfied, because this is their nature, no matter how they can't be extinguished, no matter how high-sounding words they use, they can't hide it!

Some people say that Li Chengliang has a false reputation, and it is precisely because of Li Chengliang that he raised the wolf Houjin.

Li Chengliang had been suppressing the Jurchen tribe and killed Nuer Hachi's people, but he sent the land and men left by the Takshi to Nuer Hachi, and gave him the edict of the governor, giving him the title of hereditary commander.

However, with these things left by his father, Nuer Hachi gradually grew stronger, unified the Jurchen tribes, and later established Houjin, revenge for his father and ancestors is one of the "seven hatreds", all of which are due to Li Chengliang!

If Li Chengliang hadn't sent all the land, people and horses to Nuer Hachi at that time, where would there be a later Houjin?

Therefore, many people think that Li Chengliang will only deal perfunctorily in side affairs, just to seek personal interests, as long as Nurhachi shows loyalty, Li Chengliang will give him a guarantee to the official, and the Jianzhou Jurchen can rise in Liaodong, which must be attributed to Li Chengliang's protection of Nurhachi.

Some people also say that Li Chengliang had close contacts with Nuer Hachi in his later years, and even wanted to use Nurhachi's troops to invade and occupy Korea to stand on his own.

Li Chengliang is now eighty years old, even if Nurhachi is willing to give him his life and defeat North Korea to make Li Chengliang king, how many years can he still be in power?

What's more, Li Chengliang is a general of the Ming Dynasty, so he naturally knows very well how dependent North Korea is on the Ming Dynasty, even if he becomes the king of Korea, doesn't he have to bow down to the Ming Dynasty? So why bother?

Therefore, one or two of the historical researchers of later generations seem to be very lofty, digging historical materials, analyzing data, and studying antiquities, but they ignore the most ordinary thing, that is, the human heart.

From ancient times to the present, the most fickle is the human heart, but the most eternal is also the truth of the human heart.

In any case, if you think about it with common sense, it is impossible to give birth to these things, so why study this and that.

In such a situation, Li Chengliang wants to give up the six forts of Kuandian and move the people inward, which will undoubtedly bring him infamy that has been stinking for thousands of years.

Li Rusong immediately objected, but was suppressed by Li Chengliang, who looked at the silent Li Mi, and then asked.

"What do you think of this?"

Li Mi can also see that Li Chengliang is indeed old and has too many worries, and he doesn't want to fight anymore, for fear that because of the Kuandian Six Forts, he will not have enough life to fight this battle.

But Li Mi also knows that the reason why Li Chengliang has such worries is because there is no successor in the military circles of the Ming Dynasty, if there is really something to create and can take his place, this battle can be fought, so why exchange land for peace?

If it was the previous Ming Dynasty, Li Mi might have felt that Li Chengliang was also well-intentioned, but now the Ming Dynasty is different, Li Rusong and others don't talk about it for the time being, just Xiong Tingbi and Zhao Guangling and others, plus the new battalion of Shenji, etc., Li Mi's many reforms in the military have achieved initial results and formed enough combat effectiveness!

In such a comparison, if he makes concessions to Nuer Hachi, it will make the Manchurians even more inch-inch, could it be that Li Mi wants to enter the Jurchen Ministry, isn't it just to prevent this from happening!

Li Mi raised his head, looked at Li Chengliang, and then said: "Old handsome, the snake eats elephants, and comes out of his bones at the age of three, people's hearts will never be satisfied, and the land will never be able to exchange for peace, like the Song Dynasty, it can only gradually wither......"

"The old handsome man was also a golden iron horse back then, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger, and now I want to ask the juniors, Lian Po is old, can he still eat?"

Li Mi said vaguely, but he hit the key to Li Chengliang's greatest worry, listening to Li Mi's words, Li Chengliang was also silent for a long time, and he was also torturing in his heart, is he really old and doesn't dare to fight anymore?
