Chapter 223: The Situation in Liaodong
Since the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty agreed that the Liaodong Peninsula south of Haizhou Wei would all belong to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao planned to establish a sufficiently solid forward strategic position based on the Liaodong Peninsula and Denglai in the east of Shan, and to play a role in pinning and pinching Wu Xiangbu and the Manchu Qing in the future.

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao wanted Yuan Chonghuan to lead the military and political power of the Liaodong Peninsula and Denglai area, and Mao Wenlong to be responsible for the implementation of military operations, so that the strategic situation of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong would not be just a simple guerrilla, but a strategy that could be attacked and defended and encroached on step by step by combining guerrilla and fortress blockade.
But now, Yuan Chonghuan was executed by himself because of his pride and arrogance, and although Mao Wenlong said that he had the talent of a general who opened the town and blocked one side alone, he did have the suspicion of being unruly and supporting the army too much, and he was also deficient in personal morality and discipline, and many ministers in the DPRK and China made a lot of remarks about a military attache to build a government, so Zhu Youxiao did not let Mao Wenlong directly manage the military and political affairs of the Liaodong Peninsula and Denglai.
In the end, Zhu Youxiao had to let Lu Xiang, the secretary of the military department, take off to Haizhou Wei and begin to manage the Liaodong Peninsula and Denglai Prefecture.
The affairs of Jizhou were handed over to Yang Sichang to manage, and now the training of the new army in various parts of the Praetorian Guard has been fruitful, and the training of the early officer cadets of the Royal Military Academy has also been on the right track.
Lu Xiang rose in the locality, not only good at commanding troops but also good at civil affairs, so letting Lu Xiangsheng go to govern Liaodong and Denglai is actually much more suitable than letting Yuan Chonghuan, and according to Jinyiwei, the first thing Lu Xiangsheng did after going to Liaodong was to meet Mao Wenlong, and he also came to Taoyuan with Mao Wenlong.
It is a taboo for the military department to be a monk and a feudal general, but it has to be viewed according to the actual situation, in this era of emphasizing literature and suppressing military force, Lu Xiangsheng, the secretary of the military department, dared to bend his waist and marry Mao Wenlong as a brother, and the more political meaning is that Lu Xiangsheng understands Mao Wenlong's status and strategic value in Liaodong, so he expresses himself and Mao Wenlong in this way to make Mao Wenlong believe in his own meaning.
Zhu Youxiao didn't have any opinion after hearing this, this kind of alliance is just a personal relationship, in this era, even the emperor can't stop the mutual dependence of civil officials and military attachΓ©s, but what he can do is to try not to let one side become bigger, whether it is solidarity or sabre-rattling, it doesn't matter, don't unite to deal with yourself as an emperor.
Lu Xiangsheng did not take the slightest bit of Shangshu shelf, and he also convinced Mao Wenlong to do everything, so the military arrangement in the Liaodong Peninsula was much smoother, and now the imperial court has abundant money and food, so in less than a month or two, more than 30 new castles were added to the entire Liaodong Peninsula, tens of thousands of acres of wasteland were reclaimed, and tens of thousands of acres of agricultural and pastoral land were restored.
In fact, the above achievements are also related to the reason why a large number of people have recently migrated to enrich Liaodong, and the population is recruited from Qin and Jin and other places, as well as the family members and servants of some prisoners, many of whom have some cultural level.
After receiving Zhu Youxiao's opinion that he wanted to take revenge against Wu Xiangbu, Lu Xiangsheng summoned Mao Wenlong and other generals overnight and a group of grassroots magistrates from Xiucai to Jinshi brought by him to discuss how to take revenge on Wu Xiangbu.
"Outside this pass, it has always been the reason for us to bully others, but now we have been stabbed by others, it is really embarrassing, it is a trivial matter for thousands of stones of grain to be robbed, but the key is that we have been bullied like this, thirty-four lives and twenty-seven people were injured, this is not a trivial matter, and His Majesty has issued a strict decree, it is necessary to take revenge on Wu Xiangbu, you can not forget the fate of Yuan Chonghuan, so everyone here today put forward their opinions, and they must come up with a way to retaliate against Wu Xiangbu as soon as possible."
As soon as Lu Xiangsheng said this, Mao Wenlong took the initiative to come and kneel on one knee: "The killing of my Ming people this time is really caused by the last general's negligence in his duties, and the last general is guilty, please punish the big Sima!" β
"General Mao doesn't have to be like this, I don't blame you for this matter, and now is not the time to hold anyone responsible, but how to take revenge back", Zhu Youxiao said, Mao Wenlong stood up again and arched his hand towards Lu Xiangsheng and said: "In the end of the general, it is better for us to dig up the ancestors of his Wu family, and now because of the great war between Wu Xiang and the Manchu Qing in Jinzhou, Wu Xiang has also transferred a large number of elites who guard his tomb to Jinzhou, and now is the best time for us to retaliate against Wu Xiang." β
Lu Xiangsheng listened to what Mao Wenlong said, so he stroked his beard and nodded: "This plan is good, General Mao, you tell us the general idea of how to dig the grave and how to attract the attention of Wu Xiangbu, we must come up with a set of plans as soon as possible, so that Wu Xiangbu can taste the power of my Ming court, and at the same time dispel the concerns of the people who immigrate here in the future." β
Wu Sangui was happily sitting with his father in the spacious and bright mansion drinking wine at this time, and there was a beauty in their arms, both father and son were up and down, but they did not care about the influence, among them, Wu Sangui even personally poured a cup of sake into the mouth of a beauty, and then pushed the beauty in front of his father: "Father, please drink this tea." β
"My son's filial piety is commendable", Wu Xiang took a sip of wine mixed with saliva with his black old mouth and sucked a sip of wine mixed with saliva, and then said to Wu Sangui: "This battle of Jinzhou can repel Huang Taiji, my son has made great contributions, and the court wants to use the hands of the Tartars to destroy us, it is really wishful thinking." β
"Zhu Youxiao promised the Manchus not to interfere in any of our military and political affairs as a condition so that Huang Taiji could attack us without any worries, although we kept Jinzhou, but lost the important land of Dalinghe Fort, the loss is not small, Zhu Youxiao's move can not be described as not poisonous, in order to let him taste the lesson, kill his dozens of people and rob him of a thousand stones of grain, see how he responds."
Wu Sangui also drank a glass himself, and then put the wine glass heavily on the table.
Wu Xiang couldn't help but ask worriedly: "You said that the imperial court will take advantage of this to raise troops and exterminate us after knowing about it, you must know that this Zhu Youxiao has never forgotten our hatred of Tu Yongping back then, and now we have just finished a battle with the Tartars, and our vitality is greatly damaged, I am afraid that it will be difficult to withstand the thunder of the imperial court." β
"Father can rest assured, now Zhu Youxiao is busy implementing the new policy, and eradicating the Confucian Confucian sect, but also reducing the status of the Confucian Confucian family, it can be said that it angered the anger of the world's soldiers, and now relying on his Praetorian Guard and royalists to suppress the anger of these scholars, if he is good at starting a war, he must be prepared for a fire in the backyard, even if there is no fire, we have to help him start a fire, but in the eyes of the sons, Zhu Youxiao will not be so reckless, and now the elite of the Praetorian Guards are still scattered all over the Guannei, and there is no concentration of the elephant, What we have to guard against now is whether Lu Xiangsheng and Mao Wenlong will retaliate, but Erchen has strictly ordered the generals everywhere to be strictly careful, and it is best to reduce acting alone. β
Wu Sangui said.
