Chapter 460: Preparation

Huang Taiji closed his eyes, held a string of Buddhist beads given by the Yellow Sect Lama in his hand, rubbed it, and said: "That Sun Chuanting heard that he had fought with Kong Youde and Geng Jingzhong, and he used his troops well?" ”

"That's right. Hearing the report from the spies, this Sun Chuanting was promoted by Yang Fan, and the war in Liaodi was supervised, and there was a great improvement immediately. Kong Youde and others fought with him several times in southern Liaoning, and they all said that this Sun Chuanting's methods were extraordinary, and he basically couldn't please anything. ”

"Yang Fan, it's Yang Fan again." Huang Taiji opened his eyes, "What is the situation in the Ming Dynasty now?" "Zhu Youzhen died violently, Huang Taiji originally saw the hope of going south to the Central Plains, thinking that it was just around the corner, but he has not heard any exciting news, Yang Fan's reuse, Shangzhu State, presided over the reform of the government, and eliminated the old system. At this point, not to mention Huang Taiji, even Fan Wencheng felt a little bad. A person like him who gives advice and makes moves with his opponents can best see the level.

"The new emperor ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty should have been chaotic, but I didn't expect Sizong to make the wisest choice in his life before he died, bringing Donglin Qunchen into the soil, paving the way for Yang Fan, and now it seems that things are developing in the direction we don't want to see."

Huang Taiji's string of beads stopped, "We can't wait any longer. ”

"This alliance will definitely bring everyone together in Liaodong, and we will make the little emperor pay a heavy price." Fan Wencheng said: "How is the emperor going to plan this meeting?" ”

"Don't cover it up, let's talk about the strategy quickly." Huang Taiji smiled at the corner of his mouth.

"Then the minister had the courage to make a suggestion." Fan Wencheng has long been thinking about this series of measures of the Ming Dynasty, "The minister believes that the alliance still has to be carried out. If Yang Fan comes. That's for the best. When the time comes, we will wait for the first salute and then the soldiers, if it does not surrender. Then get rid of it quickly. If such a talent cannot be used by my Qing Dynasty. When the time comes to settle the Central Plains in the south, there will certainly be a lot of obstacles. ”

"And what if he doesn't come?"

"Not coming? If you don't come, the emperor can order the king of Pingnan and Prince Su who are still in southern Liaoning and Jianzhou to come to the Daling River, and the situation in the Ming Dynasty has just shown signs of improvement, but I have been running Liaodong in the Qing Dynasty for decades, and now Manchu and Mongolia are about to be unified, and the use of troops for a while is naturally what the Manchu Dynasty civil and military do not want to see, if Yang Fan does not come to the appointment. Then the consequences will definitely make the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military attack on him have different intentions, which can be regarded as a discordant move. Fan Wencheng saluted and continued: "Alliance or non-alliance, Liaodong will be the place where all parties pay attention in this golden autumn. ”

Huang Taiji smiled knowingly and said: "If you have to fight alone, you can be safe in the world, haha." ”

"The emperor has won the award, and he met the wise lord. This is the honor of Wechen. Fan Wencheng bowed.

"Okay, you and I have worked together for many years, so there is no need to compliment, this alliance is imperative. I'm going to have a good gamble. ”

Fan Wencheng smiled and said, "The minister retired." ”

Every time Yang Fan entered the palace, Zhu Qi would let the little emperor sit in the center. Every major decision will also be very respectfully solicited from the little emperor's approval. The purpose of this is not to let the little emperor think that he is controlling the government. After the new emperor came into power, he ended up in a sad old age.

There are many such endings in history. So Zhu Cihuan still enjoyed the dignity of being an emperor. Now that he is still young, he also understands that his imperial grandfather and the auxiliary ministers appointed by his father are for his own good, and he does not reveal his temperament too much, and everything follows the advice of Zhu Qi and Yang Fan. At this point, when Zhu Youzhen was not deeply poisoned and could still speak, he warned him that before the crown, all major national affairs were assisted by Yang Fan, the protector of the country, and Zhu Qilai, the king of Zonglingxiao, and eunuchs were not allowed to participate in politics.

"Holy." Although the little emperor was only six years old, Yang Fan still maintained due etiquette and saluted him.

"Protecting the country is exempt."

Zhu Qi stood aside and said, "The Holy Lord's summons this time is about that meeting, how are you prepared?" ”

Yang Fan said: "It's almost." Although you can go to Liaodi. It just so happens that now that the government is stable, it is good to go to Liaodi to have a look, after Sun Chuanting became the governor of Jiliao, it is said that Kong Youde in southern Liaoning also suffered a lot of losses. ”

Zhu Qi nodded and said: "It's okay, I have to remind you that there are still many master lamas in this Jiannu Yellow Sect, although you are now the strength of the acquired realm, but you are still not enough to see in front of those old antiques, so, this time to Liaodong, the one who guards the tomb and Cao Huachun will go with you to protect your safety, is there any problem?" ”

Yang Fan nodded and said, "No problem." It's just that the dispatch of the Sichuan and Zhejiang armies, I don't know if they can keep up? "The most taboo thing in a war is the slow transmission, this is the reason why the Song Dynasty has repeatedly suffered defeats, every time you send troops, you have to ask for the folding of the Beijing in advance, and then wait for the holy decree to come, come and go, delay the fighter plane, not to mention, it is easy to be caught by the enemy spies, so the soldiers are fast, Yang Fan is most afraid of this raid, that is, this raid is delayed, and then the backup is insufficient, then it will be troublesome.

"You can rest assured about this, the secret edict will go down, now the left general Qin Liangyu and the general general of eastern Zhejiang Kuang Fangyi, a total of 30,000 elite soldiers, are stationed in Qingzhou, once the battle situation changes, they can cross the river at any time."

Garrison Qingzhou, which is also suggested by Yang Fan. It is relatively close to Jingshi and Shanhaiguan, and you can also cross the river to southern Liaoning. If it is out of the customs, the momentum will inevitably be huge, so as to avoid startling the snake, Yang Fan still let these 30,000 elite soldiers be stationed in Qingzhou as a mobile backup.

The first batch of food and salary has also been in place, and it depends on how Yang Fan fights this battle.

"But the Holy One still has to prepare for the worst." Yang Fan said suddenly. Zhu Cihuan, who was sitting on the side and listening carefully to the words of the two auxiliary ministers, was taken aback, and hurriedly asked weakly: "Does the protector have something to say...... If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. ”

"Even if a surprise attack can be made, attacking Shenyang is still unpredictable, and the Holy Lord must make adequate preparations."

Zhu Qidao: "Also, now that the Ming Dynasty has just had some of its complexion, if the military salary of Du Liao can be saved as a treasury for disaster relief, it will be able to survive the difficulties." This time, I, Daming, will take the initiative to attack and raise the prestige of my Daming army! After the first battle of Linghe City, I suggested recovering Shenyang at that time, but I was forced to run out of food and delays, and I didn't have that opportunity. ”

Yang Fan nodded and said, "It's up to people to make things happen, do your best." ”

Coming out of the palace, the originally clear sky was suddenly overcast, and the sound of muffled thunder rumbled. Many of the returnees unconsciously quickened their pace, so as not to be hit by the thunderstorm later. Yang Fan looked at the sky, the dark clouds had already hung to the horizon, and he was ready to go to Dashanghui. Ge Nie and Shen Chong are now the richest people in Beijing, of course, this silver, said to be from the Great Shanghui, is actually from the imperial court. If the red ticket is not recognized by the imperial court, those businessmen who search will not change it. (To be continued.) )
