The deliberations in the yamen of the three governors continued until the beginning of the lanterns in Huamachi Town.

With the support of Li Banghua, the Minister of Military Aircraft, Dongshenghou and other important figures in the northwest trilateral region, they reached an agreement on the strategy of the official army in the northwest.

Among the several official armies and Mongols who followed Li Banghua to recover the Hetao, the newly promoted Wuchuan Bozu Dashou had been ordered to lead the cavalry of the border army of Datong Town back to the east.

Although Lin Dan Khan had already gone to Qinghai with the men and horses of the Chahar tribe, some small tribes in the Mongol tribes of Monan who had previously annexed Jianyu were still panicked and undecided about the arrival of the Ming army.

Some of the upper echelons of the larger tribes of the Mongol tribes fled to Qinghai with Lin Dan Khan, and some of them joined the Jurchens after Lin Dan Khan's escape.

This time, the Ming army defended and counterattacked in the hinterland of Xuanda in the Guannei, fought a victory, caused the Jianjiao people to lose their troops and generals, and finally retreated in a hurry.

This result surprised many of the nobles of the upper class of southern Mongolia.

The surviving Mongolian tribal leaders, with seriously attrition of men and horses, followed Jianyu to retreat to Monan, and soon there was a division, some people were afraid of the Ming army's retaliation, and followed the Jianyu Jurchens to continue to retreat to the north, but there were also some small tribes, unwilling to leave the Monan grassland, stayed.

It's just that with the stationing and naturalization of the Ming official army, most of these small tribes could not figure out the intentions of the Ming official army, and avoided the important towns of Naturalization and Jining far away, and also avoided the sentinel horse team sent by the Ming official army to the surrounding areas of naturalization.

But they did not leave Monan.

After Li Banghua left with the vast majority of the cavalry and horses that had gathered in Naturalization at that time, Wang Guoliang, the chief military officer of Shanxi Town, who stayed in Naturalized City, would receive information from various sentinels sent out every once in a while.

In the vast grassland of Monan, there are still one Mongolian tribe after another, ranging from 3,500 to 3,500 people, and they are neither attached nor migrated north.

Wang Guoliang got these news, naturally one after another, they were forwarded to Li Banghua's army, and then passed through Li Banghua's hands, and then continued to be sent to Jingshi.

For Emperor Chongzhen, who was in Beijing, although it was very important to quickly quell the rebellion of Taomin and Musuman in Hexi, Monan Mongolia after Lin Dan Khan and Huang Taiji left one after another, but it also needed to be permanently annexed to the territory.

In such a situation, a relatively strong cavalry must return to the town and naturalize the city.

After all, the three major Khans of Mobei Mongolia still have good strength, once these people suddenly went south after learning that Lin Dan Khan had fled to Qinghai and Huang Taiji had also withdrawn with the Jurchens, then the Ming Dynasty would be very happy and sad.

In this way, it has become an inevitable choice for Zu Dashou, the chief military officer of Datong Town, who was named Wuchuan Bo this time, to lead the army back to the division and naturalize the city.

Cao Wenzhao needed to stay in the northwest corner of the Hetao to open up the Shuofang Town Guard, so naturally he could not return to the east.

As for Zhao Shujiao, the chief military officer of Jingyuan Bo Shanhai Town, and the cavalry of the Shanhai Town under his command, there is no need to return to the east for the time being.

Because the foot soldiers of Shanhaiguan have a strong city to hold onto, and there is an impregnable Ningjin defense line in Liaodong Town, which is hundreds of miles away from Shanhaiguan.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen did not have to worry about the safety of Shanhaiguan at all.

And it is really a waste for a figure like Zhao Shujiao, a first-class commander of the border army, to be in today's Shanhaiguan.

In addition, Zhao Shujiao himself, who was originally a Wujinshi who was born in Jingyuwei under the jurisdiction of Gansu Town, was familiar with the mountains and rivers in Hexi, the geography of soldiers, etc., so he stayed in the northwest and participated in the pacification of the northwest, which was also the best use of his talents.

On the morning of March 19 in the third year of Chongzhen, that is, on the morning of the second day after the trilateral governor's palace meeting ended, Li Banghua, the minister of military aircraft, led more than 6,000 cavalry officers and cavalry of Shanhai Town, led by Jingyuan Bozhao, and more than 4,000 Mongolian cavalry of the two Mongolian tribesmen, Orke Chuhuer and Jirentai, the leaders of the Mongolian tribes.

Yan'an Mansion in northern Shaanxi is very important in the overall strategic situation of the northwest, perhaps only Emperor Chongzhen, who is far away in the Ming Dynasty, knows best.

On this issue, including Li Banghua, who has always had a relatively good view of the overall situation, he actually disagreed with it in his heart.

After all, Yan'an is now a place that is neither a thoroughfare nor a wealthy place.

Especially under the repeated destruction of a series of natural and man-made disasters, the Yan'an Mansion in the spring of the third year of Chongzhen has long been barren and dilapidated, except for the narrow and long mansion built along the Yanhe River is still a little popular, and the surrounding places of Yan'an Mansion have long lost the dense population of the past.

If it weren't for the foundation laid by the previous supervisor of Yansui Town, Yu Shi Ma Mao, who had been cultivating in Ganquanyu for more than two years, then Li Banghua would have come with a cavalry army of a certain size, and I am afraid that he would not even be able to supply the grain and grass that people need to eat and chew.

However, because a series of previous facts seem to have proved that His Majesty the Emperor, who is far away in Beijing, seems to have an extraordinary ability of foresight and insight, Li Banghua, the Minister of Military Aircraft after being crowned the Marquis of Dongsheng, has developed the habit of obeying Emperor Chongzhen's will.

As long as the emperor's ideas are not too unbelievable or too contrary to common sense, he will try his best to persuade himself to accept them, and then follow the emperor's ideas to make various specific arrangements, and try his best to do some work to check and fill in the gaps, so as to turn the emperor's ideas into reality.

And this is exactly what the Chongzhen Emperor is looking forward to seeing now.

Since he is well versed in the general trend of history, there is no need for him to always engage in any tricks such as court discussions, promotions, or wide range of opinions.

Because to do that, for him, it was just a waste of time.

After Li Banghua came to Yan'an Mansion with a large army, Ma Mao naturally rushed to visit.

And Li Banghua also announced that he would be ordered to sit in Yan'an Mansion for a period of time in the future, and brought a will from the imperial court to Ma Maocai:

Ma Maocai was immediately dismissed from the post of supervising the army of Yansui Town, and the officer was immediately transferred to the post of Shaanxi Chengxuan Political Envoy to participate in politics, and concurrently served as the military preparation road in northern Shaanxi with the post of Shaanxi Right Participation in Politics, specializing in the recruitment of people in Ganquanyu and other places in Yan'an Prefecture and the affairs of military preparation supervision.

Although Ma Maocai had been the supervisor of Yansui Town, because Yansui Town was not a large place, and the main troops had been taken by the governor Sun Chuanting and the chief soldier He Shiyu to fight outside, in addition to being responsible for transporting ordnance and distributing military salaries from Luoyang, Xi'an and other places, he had no way to fulfill many specific military supervision affairs.

And the several secret decrees given to him by Emperor Chongzhen were also to let him focus on the reclamation of Ganquanyu, the exploitation of fierce fire oil and the production of fierce fire oil bombs, and other matters directly related to preparing for war and famine.

Therefore, although Ma Maocai was a little surprised by the sudden news that he was removed from the post of the supervisor of Yansui Town, he quickly figured out the reason.

Sun Chuanting, the governor of Yansui, was transferred to the governor of Hezhong, and He Shiyu, the chief military officer of Yansui Town, was also transferred to the chief military officer of Hezhong Town.

It's just that Ganquanyu's reclamation and armament production affairs were created by him, and now it is in a critical period of further expanding the scale and providing grain and grass armaments for the northwest to quell the rebellion.

On the contrary, when the town of Yansui was divided into two, Yulinwei and Suidezhou were merged into the river, and Yan'an returned to the governor of Shaanxi, Ma Maocai also knew that only by taking up the post of political secretary of Shaanxi Chengxuan could he ensure that the reclamation and armament production in the Ganquanyu area continued to proceed rapidly.

This truth was not only understood by Ma Mao after a little thought, but also the leaders and brains of the northwest frontier areas, including Li Banghua, Minister of Military Aircraft, Yuan Chonghuan, Governor of the Trilateral Territory, Sun Chuanting, Governor of Yansui, and Hong Chengchou, Governor of Shaanxi, all understood the truth, and therefore had no objections.

However, for Emperor Chongzhen's decision, after Ma Maocai faced the east to bow to the edict and thank him, he couldn't help but ask Li Banghua:

"Dare to ask the Pavilion Boss! After Xia Guan was transferred to Shaanxi Right to participate in politics, who did the imperial court send to replace Xia Guan as the supervisor of the army in Hezhong Town? ”

"Liu Kexun! The candidate who was ordered to take over the imperial history of the Hezhong Prison Army was Liu Kexun, the commander of the Eastern Sichuan Prison Army, who participated in the pacification of the Lu'an Rebellion! ”
