Chapter 624: Analyze the overall situation

Li Chengliang was a little disappointed in the end, he thought that Li Mi would be more mature than others, with a more long-term vision and a broad pattern, but he didn't expect that Li Mi's opinion was the same as Li Rumei's, and he thought that it was not a good idea to give up Kuandian Six Forts.

Li Mi even vaguely ridiculed him for being honest and old, and he no longer had the courage to fight, which also aroused his anger.

Although he is almost eighty years old, Li Chengliang has been fighting all his life, in exchange for the supreme dignity of the military world, no matter how openly and secretly he fights in the court, and encounters real trouble, in the end, it is not the same to invite his old man to go out of the mountain and sit in Liaodong?

He has fought too many battles in his life, and he knows that it is the people who suffer in the end of the war, after all, he is not a human slaughter, he is happy to know the destiny of heaven, and after looking down on the world, he is also like an ordinary old man, thinking about accumulating some yin virtue.

Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored, and the soldiers, the murder weapons, the saints have to use them, how can they start the war lightly?

Moreover, this Kuandian Six Forts was developed by him Li Chengliang, and it was also for the Ming Dynasty at that time, and now he has given up the Kuandian Six Forts, isn't it also for the Ming Dynasty?

If you only know how to plunder and do not know how to give up, you will lose a big because of a small one.

At present, the civil strife of the daimyo continues, the party in the court is endless, the physical condition of the Wanli Emperor is deteriorating day by day, the officials only know how to fight for power and profit, and the people are miserable.

Such a Ming national condition is really not suitable for launching a major expedition, and Li Chengliang has been dealing with the Jurchen tribe for twenty or thirty years, and no one knows better than him that if these people can't be beaten to death with a stick, they will inevitably have endless troubles!

If you really want to keep the six forts of Kuandian, it will inevitably lead to a big war, at this time the Ming Dynasty can be said to be a strong foreign force, and if you really want to start a war, you will be dragged into the quagmire by the Jurchens, and you can only loot the people, gather the people's wealth, and throw it into the bone pit in Liaodong.

Liaodong finally had the prosperity and liveliness it has today, and all this war, all of which has been painstakingly managed for 30 years, was all destroyed in the flames of war.

So he looked at Li Mi, and also shook his head and said: "It turns out that you are also a child's knowledge, and the old man has never talked about this matter......

Li Mi could also hear Li Chengliang's disappointment, but he didn't intend to give up, in the end, he said to Li Chengliang.

"Nuer Hachi is a person with great ambitions, otherwise it would not have been in just these years, he would have unified Haixi and other departments, now he is indeed strong and strong, and the Eight Banners Army is also full of morale, and the younger generation knows the near and far worries of the old marshal, but only six forts, how can they not feed Nuer Hachi's ambitions!"

"The reason why Nuer Hachi is so aggressive and wants to encroach on the six forts of Kuandian is because his army has run rampant in the world? Is it because his scheming strategy is enough to look at the four fields? ”

"No, although the Jurchen tribe has risen very quickly, they don't have too deep a background, and if they really want to fight, they can only flee back to the white mountains and black waters."

"So where does Nuer Hachi's confidence come from?"

Li Mi analyzed step by step, his thoughts were also very clear, looked at Li Chengliang, and continued.

"His confidence comes from Lao Shuai's thoughts, he knows that Da Ming has internal and external troubles, and he has no power or intention to take care of Liaodong, so he is so unscrupulous, because he knows that Da Ming will never passively accept a war that does not need to happen at such a time!"

"If you don't like it, don't blame the old handsome, it is the old handsome's forbearance that fuels the ambition of Nuer Hachi, if you retreat and retreat, even the six forts of Kuandian will be lost, after the Jurchens occupy the six forts of Kuandian, they will have to advance inch by inch again, ask for the territory of the mainland, dare to ask the old marshal, will you let it go when the time comes?"

"If you don't let it, you will have to fight in the end, since sooner or later there will be a war, why do you have to lose the six forts of Kuandian first?"

"It's not a question of whether to fight or not, it's a position and posture, as long as Nuer Hachi knows that I won't let me go at all, and I'm not afraid of war, how dare he play tricks again?"

"Only when the tiger is dozing off, the monkey in the mountains has just been tossing around, and Nuer Hachi is the monkey, and the reason why he jumps up and down is because he thinks that China is a sleeping tiger at this time!"

"I am deceitful in the court, fighting openly and secretly, I can ignore these, and I don't want to choose a side, but I am Ming in the face of foreign captives, how can I ever give in half a step?"

"Old Shuai, you have been guarding Liaodong for decades, and you have never been soft on these barbarians, why do you want to lose the six forts of Kuandian that you have worked so hard to manage?"

"To put it mildly, as Ziqing said, this will make the old handsome late season unsafe, and it will completely break the situation that has been established in Liaodong for decades, and open this opening, these Northeast barbarians will go straight in!"

Li Chengliang has devoted his whole life to Liaodong, how can he not consider these, I have to admit that Li Mi is to the point, and he is comprehensive, and it is really not easy to think about these details.

"You say it upside down, but the six forts are lonely and difficult to defend, as you said, if you don't give up the six forts of Kuandian, and don't want to get involved in the war, how can you do it?"

"Could it be that just your words can scare off the slave Hachi?"

Hearing Li Chengliang's words, Li Mi also pondered for a moment, and then said to Li Chengliang: "If the so-called name is not right, it will not be good, and if it is not good, it will not be done. ”

"I'm going to the Jurchen Ministry, although I have a knighthood, but I don't have an errand, the old man might as well send me a duty to proclaim and let me go to inspect the tribe, so that it will be justified, and I don't dare to do anything to me if I want to come to Nuer Hachi."

"It's not difficult to send you a poor title of Xuanfu, but in this way, you are a person with a bright face, and you can't act in secret, but I'm afraid of inconvenience, if Nuer Hachi wants to do it, the first unlucky one is you......"

Although Li Chengliang said so, judging from his expression, he still had a lot of expectations for Li Mi's proposal.

Li Mi said to Li Chengliang: "Old Shuai, you also underestimate me too much, although I, Li Mi, am not as strategizing as Lao Shuai and winning thousands of miles, but I am not a stunned young man who has not been deeply involved in the world, I don't know how many years of birth and death, don't I Li Mi also live well......

This is not Li Mi's mother-in-law selling melons and boasting, Li Chengliang knew in his heart that Li Mi was indeed not lying, so he nodded and said.

"Since this is the case, I will send you a messenger to Xuanfu, and match you with three or five hundred people, if you can really scare Nuer Hachi and make him give up the six forts of Kuandian, the old man will personally play and ask the emperor for a reward!"

Li Mi waved his hand and said to Li Chengliang: "You don't have to worry about the old handsome, I brought back two or three hundred people from North Korea, all of them are elite soldiers, and they are bitter and bitter, and they are bound to kill Zhang Jiao and Zhou Yu's ruthless characters, but they are nameless and pointless by my side......

Li Chengliang is an old fox, and immediately understood the meaning of Li Mi's words, so he said to Li Mi: "This is simple, the old man is in Liaodong, and he has the authority to recruit soldiers and recruit brave, so I will give you the establishment of a battalion." ”

When Li Miyan heard this, he was also overjoyed: "This is really justified, after all, this time I went to work hard, and the younger generation was not welcome, but in terms of scouts and detailed guides, I still need the support of the old marshal." ”

Li Chengliang also waved his hand generously: "You don't have to worry about this, the old man has been in Liaodong for decades, it's hard to say anything else, the Jurchen Department is still clear, and it will definitely find you a familiar one." ”

Saying this, without waiting for Li Mi to respond, Li Chengliang continued to ask: "This battalion is full of five hundred, and later you report all the details such as the number of people and names, and you don't have to worry about the rest." ”

"Five hundred?" Li Mi inevitably wondered in his heart, two hundred mausoleum guards plus thirty-nine ghost soldier pills, and the full count was less than three hundred, why did Li Chengliang give a quota of five hundred?

However, after thinking about it, Li Mi came to his senses, the actual number of people was less than three hundred, but the reported number was five hundred, that is to say, Liaodong could eat two hundred people again!

At this juncture, Li Chengliang still has such careful thoughts, which shows that others' evaluation of him is really unreasonable.

Li Chengliang did not hide it at all, and when he saw Li Mi's expression, he said to Li Mi: "You don't know the price of firewood and rice, the money of the court should be taken from the people and used for the people, if the people want to live, someone must protect their families and defend the country, if even these soldiers can't be fed, everyone is greedy for life and afraid of death, what justice is there to talk about?" ”

"The old man has not lived for a few years, thousands of acres of fertile land, but three meals a day, thousands of mansions, but a sleep, those who say that the old man has accumulated money, I do not deny it, say that I am extravagant, I also admit it, but without this money, there is no Liaodong today, I am a bad old man, no matter how extravagant I can be wine pond meat forest, build a palace for myself?"

Li Mi is not a person who drills the horns of the bull, if the water is clear, there is no fish, if the person is observed, there is no disciple, no one is perfect, no gold is not enough, Li Chengliang can vomit bitter water so much, it is not bad.

As for this kind of thing, it is not strange that the army has long been accustomed to it, if he can do some practical things, Li Mi does not need to be hateful, and he does not have the ability to change this status quo.

Li Chengliang is an arrogant person, and he is also feeling the right thing to complain about, and he is a little embarrassed in front of the juniors, so he doesn't mention it anymore, but says to Li Mi.

"Since this battalion is set up for you, the name is up to you, what do you think should be called?"

The names of the battalions in the army are also varied, and Li Mi is no stranger to them, since these more than 200 people are composed of the tomb guards and the thirty-nine ghost soldiers, Li Mi also has an idea in his heart.

"Let's call it the Big Spotted Pomfret Camp."

"Big spotted pomfret camp? It's a strange name...... However, the horizontal and vertical are miscellaneous numbers, so I don't care about these lots. ”

How did Li Chengliang know that the mausoleum keeper was once praised by the old man as a big spotted pomfret without a tongue, and he didn't know the specific origin of the mausoleum keeper, so he thought that it was the miscellaneous fish and shrimp that Li Mi had brought together from somewhere, so he didn't ask any more.

It wasn't until the day of his departure that he saw this team with his own eyes that he knew that these people were even more terrifying than the most elite personal guards under his command!

Of course, that's all for later.

After making up the plan, Li Chengliang was finally in poor spirits, with exhaustion, and asked Li Mi and Li Rumei to leave, Li Mi asked Zhao Sima to count the number of people and names, etc., and changed the equipment of the Ming Army, and many matters were arranged, and I would not repeat them.

After a few days of delay in Liaodong City, the preparations were ready, Li Chengliang set up a feast, Li Rumei also said goodbye to his family, Li Mi and the brothers, finally went to the Jurchen Ministry!

This trip went deep into the hinterland, facing the ambitious Nuer Hachi, as well as the newly rising Eight Banners Army, and Zhang Jiao Zhou Yu, who had reached the end of the road, and was also in a worrying situation.
