When he said this, everyone came to their senses, and Liang Xing said sincerely: "We can't resist the temptation of fame and wealth, but at this time, adults are the most sober, rare, and it is really a gift from Yingming." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Stop talking nonsense." Zhang Han scolded happily and said, "Everyone will go into the palace with me to have a look." ”

More than 300 years later, Yuanzhong has almost only left the ruins of the broken wall, at this time there are still quite a lot of palaces in the palace area are well preserved, of course, what lacquer painting decoration is definitely gone, the beams and columns are also eroded greatly, many beams and pillars are about to decay. Most of the Chinese-style palaces are mainly made of wood, the advantage is that they are magnificent and beautiful, saving labor and labor, and the disadvantage is that they cannot withstand the invasion of time, which is not like the ancient castles or palaces built of stone in the West, which have been fine for hundreds of years.

Walking along the long road, the thousand-step corridor on both sides has decayed into shape, and then climb the stairs, it is the platform of the first layer, the place is very wide, every few steps is a drainage hole, carved into the head of the beast with good stones, and the rainwater can be discharged from here in case of rain.

If you don't have an intuitive feeling of the main hall of Yuanzhongdu, just think about the three major halls in Beijing...... The scale here is a little more brilliant than the three major halls that were rebuilt several times after the lightning was burned down.

"Not bad, good place......" Zhang Han entered the hall and took a look, because the materials were the best, the backbone of the three halls was well preserved, although there was a smell of mold, but the main structure was generally intact.

"Well, I can really make use of ......it" Li Shenming still didn't give up his previous plan, but he also knew that now was not the time, and after muttering a word, he turned his head to look at Tian Jitang and said, "Lao Tian, when will the silver be available?" ”

Tian Jitang said: "Taiwan guarantees to send another 400,000 yuan at the end of the year, and we also have new business to carry out in the layout of the north, so we can earn an extra 200,000 or 300,000 yuan a year, and if the promotion in the south goes well, we will make a lot more." Coupled with the fact that the cloth will be able to produce millions of horses next year, and the extra income from the copper mine, if the army is not expanded, next year will still be very good...... However, this hall and the outer city of the palace city and the imperial city need to be repaired, but it is not 108,000 to repair, at least 350,000 people and soldiers must be mobilized, all kinds of materials are prepared, and it will only look like a year for half a year, how much silver do you calculate. ”

Li Shenming kept his face silent, repairing this kind of big city and palace is the energy and financial resources that the dynasty only had when the country was in its prime, like Zhu Di repaired Beijing City, hundreds of thousands of people and craftsmen repaired for 19 years to be roughly completed, and then spent many years of hard work to slowly repair, to Renzong during the imperial court also considered moving back to Nanjing, you can imagine how much effort and financial resources it will take to build a capital city of this scale.

Zhang Han and Li Shenming returned it, but Liang Xing and the others squeezed their eyebrows, and they seemed to be very interested in Tian Jitang's words.

This year, the military department's income has reached more than 5 million even from the sale of captive cattle and sheep, and after adding various unexpected income increases, the income has reached about 6.5 million, so that the deficit is less than 500,000 yuan. By next year, the cattle and sheep are almost sold, but due to the substantial increase in income from Taiwan, the income from maritime trade is also growing, mainly because of the lack of Yan Siqi such a competitor, the annual income is definitely no problem with hundreds of thousands, Taiwan's income is expected to be more than one million next year, this amount of silver is regarded as an increase in the income of the military department, all transported to the north, plus the income from copper mines, the increase in cloth income is also more than one million, and there are other open source income, next year's income is expected to be 6.5 million or moreIn this way, there will be almost no shortfall, and next year the big project of buying and selling the city can be completed, and it will save hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, so it can be said that next year, as long as there is no longer a large-scale expansion of the army by leaps and bounds, and there is no big war, there may be a small deficit, and there will even be a surplus.

Liang Xing and the others were just excited and happy when they thought of this, but Tian Jitang felt a little like tears...... It has been several years, and the war has not stopped since the beginning of the great expansion of the army the year before last, and the war is profitable, and it is a great benefit, but after the big expansion of the army, the silver can really flow away like water, and he is in charge of finances, according to the accounting method taught by Zhang Han to keep accounts, and at the end of the year there is a large red deficit, and only he understands the taste of this heart.

"But don't expand the army, don't fight......" Tian Jitang said fiercely in his heart: "I'd rather repair this middle capital, anyway, if the soldiers and civilians have nothing to do next year, they have to find something to do." ”

"Next year, we will build the defense line to the line from the mouth of the monolith to the Wild Fox Ridge," as if hearing Tian Jitang's heart, Zhang Han stood at the door of the hall, looking forward to the endless grassland, and said with a big smile on his face: "I haven't been to the Wild Fox Ridge yet, it is also a famous place, 500,000 golden soldiers were wiped out by the Mongols here, I heard that after a hundred years, you can still hear people's cries in rainy and thunderstorm weather, it's too miserable." ”

Li Shenming said indifferently: "Most of them are wild fox talks in the countryside, and they should not be allowed." However, from a geographical point of view, Qingcheng to Zhongdu, then to Yehuling, then to Chahanhot and Baicheng, and then to Horqinbu, as long as we occupy the important points, the grassland will have the face of this game of chess, what is the point, it is nothing more than those important places. ”

Zhang Han turned his head to Li Gui and said, "Test you, tell me where are the most important places to control the grassland except for Mobei?" ”

Li Gui said with a smile: "This subordinate really knows that not to mention the forces of Oirat and Qiang-Tibet, to control Mongolia, the most important thing is nothing more than three places, in fact, it is also the arrangement of Emperor Taizu Gao in the Hongwu period, which is the most exquisite." In the east of Beijing, the current Jingshi is in the north direction, it is mainly based on Kaiping Wei, Kaiping is also the old Yuan Shangdu, the four capitals of the Northern Yuan, and Lin, Zhongdu, Shangdu, Dadu, are all important places, Kaipingwei is set up, the old Dadu, the current Beijing division of Beiping at that time was guarded up, including Zhangjiakou Bauhinia Pass was protected, and the west was built in the Yellow River terrain to build Dongshengwei, and the Dongsheng Acropolis was built in the key places, It is enough to control the Hetao and limit the northern captives such as Tumut and the Taobu, but from the time of Emperor Taizong's Jingnan, first move the king of Ning and the king of Liao, abandon the slave and Gandu Division, and then abandon Daning and Ling Duoyan Sanwei to stand on their own, and then abandon the Pingwei, and finally abandon the Dongshengwei, so that the line along the Great Wall has really become the front line, and the Jingshi is actually the front line, and in the past two hundred years, the Jingshi has been besieged several times? From one of the rear bases to the front line, it has become an embarrassing situation for the Son of Heaven to guard the country, to be honest, although Emperor Taizongwen is also a generation of heroes, but in terms of real strategy, it is far worse than Emperor Taizu Gao. ”

Zhang Han glanced at Li Gui with appreciation, nodded and praised: "That's right, you have already got three of them, it seems that you can catch up with Xia Xiping." ”

Li Gui said embarrassedly: "In fact, half of these things are for subordinates to think about by themselves reading history books and maps, and half of them are also tips for chatting with Xiping. ”

Xia Xiping is good at thinking and considering, and has repeatedly made suggestions on big strategies, Zhang Han is also extremely satisfied with Xia Xiping, compared with Li Shenming and Sun Jingting, who are already in their thirties, Xia Xiping, who is in his twenties, is a small generation, with a difference of more than ten years, which is the most satisfactory one for Zhang Han in the second echelon.

"Tell me about it." Zhang Han asked someone to bring a chair, and the military bosses and attachés lined up on both sides, Zhang Han smiled at Li Gui and said, "Since you have discussed a lot of things with Xia Xiping, today I simply asked you to sell enough at one time." Let's talk about it, Lin Dan Khan moved westward, and we have also moved with Dongyu, how should the grand strategy be taken. Don't be nervous, don't worry about making a mistake. ”

"Yes......" Li Gui swallowed his saliva, in front of so many bigwigs to call him eloquent, it is also false to say that he is not nervous, the errand of the military attendant officer is really not easy to do, but it is also good to have a good future, Zhang Shixiong, the battalion commander, has also been the commander of the brigade, and then the regiment commander, how many officers can be promoted so quickly? There are more than 100,000 people in the military academy system and the military academy system, and the real strength and strength are comparable to several military towns on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, and they are emerging groups.

Holding back all kinds of thoughts at the moment, Li Guikan said: "Since the military secretary has made it clear that Lin Dan Khan will definitely move westward, and the Chahar Department is weak and not enough to be troubled, I think we should take a few steps below." ”

"Oh, that's a good start." Zhang Han smiled and said, "You guys also listen carefully. ”

Liang Xing smiled and didn't say anything, anyway, he just thought it was fun, Duo'er bit it with a cheek, but he also made a very interested expression on his face...... He still had thunder on his head, but he didn't dare to make Zhang Han unhappy at this time, even if he felt that Li Gui was just talking on paper, he had a contemplative expression on his face.

"The first step is to stabilize and determine where our border defense line is, determine the bottom line, how to determine this bottom line, it depends on the logistics ability and financial and material support of the military division, if the financial resources are sufficient and the material resources are sufficient, you might as well push forward, otherwise, the north to Angu Linao, the middle to Yehuling, the south to Kaipingwei, Dushikou, this line is used for defense, can be used as our defense line on the eastern front of the grassland in two to three years."

This time, Lian Duo'er nodded lightly, no matter what, Li Gui is indeed a senior talent among the staff officers, and the location determined on this eastern front is still very correct, from logistics to the determination of defense points.

"Determining the Eastern Front is just to stabilize our footsteps, and the next step is to determine, what kind of charter do we have for Chahar?"

Ren Jing said: "Do you still want to think about this? For Lin Dan Khan, a hungry wolf, there is one way: fight! ”

"The regiment commander is right...... Li Gui is just a battalion-level staff officer and a military attaché, many layers different from a military boss like Ren Jing, and he is not in a hurry to refute at the moment, he first responded with a smile, and did not have the arrogance of speaking by name because of Zhang Han.

Ren Jing nodded and said, "I didn't interject correctly, you continue." ”

Li Gui smiled and said: "What the commander said is good, fighting is the only option, but how to fight, whether it is a small fight or a big fight, whether it is a garrison-based attack, or take the initiative to attack, directly swing the army to the east, and directly destroy the left-wing Mongolia?" ”

Everyone was thoughtful at this time, and Zhang Han scolded with a smile: "Li Gui, don't sell it, hurry up." ”
