"Yes, to feed the war with war, to strengthen yourself with war, to accumulate strength for the next war, the war can be done at all, of course, there is a premise for this, that is, it must be against the enemy country, not a civil war," Lu Hanqiang walked on the simple dock, watching the bags of supplies loaded onto the cargo ships that came with the fleet, and at the southern merchant ships of Huludao Port, which were urgently recruited and hired, were loading groups of refugees, although still ragged and skinny, but already with vitality on their faces, onto the ship, Transported back to Liaoxi, Lu Hanqiang said this to his entourage.

After easily taking Niuzhuang, Lu Hanqiang immediately instructed Xu Mingli, who was sitting in Huludao, to hire all the merchant ships in the south that had just arrived at the port to unload their cargo, and rushed to Niuzhuang to transfer the massive booty he had captured, as well as the nearly 100,000 refugees.

This time, Lu Hanqiang was completely red-eyed, if the city wall of Niuzhuang was valuable, he wanted to move her back to Liaoxi directly.

Seeing that a large amount of materials were being continuously transported onto the ship, and then pulled up the sails and transported back to Huludao, Lu Hanqiang said with satisfaction, "In fact, foreign wars don't matter whether they are just or unjust, all these things involve interests, and if you lose my interests, then I will use the method of war to find my interests, and at the same time, for the sake of interests, I can also find various excuses to go to war to fight for the benefits I deserve and want to get." There is no need to cover up anything with the words of a saint and a gentleman in this thing, for example, if we recover Liaodong, to put it bluntly, it is not for profit, otherwise why would we subdue him? ”

Zhang Dake disagreed with Lu Hanqiang's fallacy and heresy, and immediately refuted Lu Hanqiang: "Liaodong was originally the homeland of the Ming Dynasty, and a group of Jiannu were not disciplined by the Ming Dynasty and betrayed our Ming court. ”

Lu Hanqiang glanced at this person who was still able to talk to himself in this group of people, shook his head indifferently and said: "Actually, what you said is not right, this war for more than ten or twenty years, no matter what the reason for its beginning, but then it was actually a war for face and interests, at the beginning it was for interests, and then it was only for the sake of the domestic situation, and in the end it was only for the sake of face." ”

Seeing that Zhang Dake didn't think so, Lu Hanqiang patiently explained to him: "This is a poor mountain and bad water, with a sparse population, what do we want him to do?" If we rebel, we will betray him, why do we try our best to subdue him? In fact, to put it bluntly, it was to collect taxes, and he took a fancy to the abundant properties that were not available in the Guannai, and as a result, he was oppressed layer by layer, and finally the Jurchen Jiannu, who was already poor outside the Guan, had to rise up to rebel, and then what? With the concept that the face of the Celestial Empire cannot be lost, therefore, our Ming Dynasty smashes millions or even tens of millions of military expenses every year to fight for this face, and the result is that it is also the luck of his two large and small wild boar skins, and our Ming Dynasty has natural and man-made disasters that have made them the climate, and you look at me. ”

Lu Hanyang pointed to his nose and said proudly: "I used interests to drive the border army to loot the grassland, as a result, hundreds of thousands of years have not been realized, so that the dream of the grassland is completely incorporated into the territory of the Central Plains, it has been realized under my guidance, now those Mongolians who do not obey the king, should survive in Mobei, if the court sends a team of envoys at this time, it can completely let them call the ministers and pay tribute, of course, I don't want to see such a result, I once made a poem, one of which is called Yi Jiang Yu Yong chasing the poor Kou, to put it bluntlyMy favorite thing is to beat the dog to prevent the dog from coming ashore and biting me. ”

This point cannot be refuted by all the people around him, it is precisely because Lu Hanqiang rushed into the grassland with thousands of men and horses, and encouraged those border troops who had no food and clothing, as he rushed into the grassland to loot, as a result, the border army actually survived in order to loot enough wealth, and it actually exploded the jaw-dropping ability to stack latent potential, and realized what several dynasties had to do but failed to do, which led to the stability of the north of the Ming Dynasty today, and the territory of the Ming Dynasty, extending thousands of miles to the north. Completed the long-cherished wish that Taizu did not complete at the beginning, even Lin Dan Khan, who was still struggling in the northeast, everyone knew that it was just a means left by Lu Hanqiang for the whole strategy, and once the Manchu Qing Dynasty perished, then Lin Dan's mission would be over, and his fate could only be two, either completely integrated into the Ming Dynasty, or wiped out.

"And every year, the war of recovering Liao, which costs tens of millions of dollars and grain, is fought, but the more it is fought, the more it advances to Shanhaiguan, which completely drags down the finances of the Ming Dynasty, deepens the burden of the people in the northwest, and creates a vicious circle, and this matter is handed over to me! Not only did I not spend a penny of money on the court, but I kept moving the battle line eastward and achieved successive victories, but I also had a good income, which is the benefit, what is the debt of 20 million taels? Will it take another ten years? As long as I continue to fight like this, and turn all that I have plundered into silver, I think I will pay it off in three or five years. As soon as he talked about silver, Lu Hanqiang was excited, and at this time he showed off to you even more proudly: "Actually, all of you, take a look, what is the most basic thing for me to win the war before and after?" "Everyone shook their heads blankly.

"It was economic warfare, and it was I who used skillful economic warfare to finally defeat Huang Taiji." Then he raised his fingers and counted them one by one: "First, I used economic methods to buy the heads of Huang Taiji's subordinates, Lin Dan Khan gave me nearly 70,000 heads a year ago, and what did I pay?" It's just 3o thousand taels of silver, which in our Ming Dynasty, is a drop in the bucket of the military expenses for dealing with wild boar skins, and at that time, the exchange of tens of millions of silver dollars was only 1,800 Jiannu heads per year. ”

Everyone was shocked and had to admit that it was this account.

"And I used this 3o thousand taels of silver, not only harvested the population of Huang Taiji, weakened his war potential, but also caused countless troubles to Huang Taiji, so that he took care of one and the other, and at the same time, I used the salt of Shangdu to squeeze out the financial pillar of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, that is, the salt of Niuzhuang now, out of the Mongolian market, so that his annual losses are incalculable, so that the Manchu finances began to collapse, in the case of not being able to rob, what war do you have to fight without money?"

Yes, war is a thing that burns money, if you can't loot to make up for the war losses, you really can't fight without money, the lessons of the Ming Dynasty are there, and the years of war almost made the country completely collapse and perish.

"And my ****** plan was successfully realized, this is another huge economic victory, not only caused a famine in the Manchus, but also caused a riot in the whole of the Manchu Dynasty, and now Huang Taiji is really in internal and external trouble, otherwise, if we capture Niuzhuang this time, he will definitely not give us ten precious days to empty one of its richest cities."

Although Huang Taiji expected that Lu Hanqiang was going to attack Niuzhuang in advance, but he couldn't react in time, everyone expressed considerable relief, to put it bluntly, this is still a good result and sequelae left by that ******.

The land at home is finally planted, and the ones who owe everyone should make up for it, five watches a day from today, so stay tuned, give a ticket to a ticket, reward a ticket without a ticket, come on, let's fly together.
