Chapter 198: Stone Island Night Talk

"Father, most of Beihua Island will be developed in about two years, and the Liao people will be settled, so that my Zhao family will establish territory in Jeju and Beihua, and my Zhao family will be invincible," Zhao Lie and Zhao Meng talked with Zhao Haiming this night.

"It's just that Jeju and Beihua are few and narrow after all, and they are neighbors of the Wa Kingdom, so there will be a big war in the future, and if this war is won, my Zhao family will be able to build a country overseas."

"Your brothers have finally succeeded after years of hard work, and it is not a loss to my descendants of the Zhao family," Zhao Haiming's eyes were also hard to hide his excitement, the Zhao family can also be regarded as a prestige overseas, Denglai is not the only hope, and his worries for several years can be put down.

Thinking of this, Zhao Haiming, who had been up and down in the sea for many years, couldn't help pacing back and forth on the ground, and his spirits were greatly lifted.

"Father, the spies under the child have found out about a Jiannu army," Zhao Lie's face was heavy, "The Jiannu Chieftain Taiji is planning to attack the Ming Dynasty, and the purpose is to rob the Ming Dynasty of money and food. ”

"Hey," Zhao Haiming was taken aback, "The Guanning army in western Liaoning repelled Jiannu twice, and Huang Taiji may not be able to defeat Ning Jin." ”

"You don't need to attack Ningjin, as long as you cross the northern captivity and attack the Jizhen Pass to the south, tens of thousands of Jiannu won't be able to defeat a few dilapidated passes." Zhao Lie said dryly, this is all proved by later generations.

"The main force has run thousands of miles, and Huang Taiji is not afraid that the Guan Ning army will take his lair." Zhao Meng asked suspiciously.

"Huang Taiji must have thought about this question left and right," Zhao Lie turned to Zhao Haiming, "Father, how will the imperial court decide in this way." ”

"Jiannu breaks through Jizhen Town, and can coerce the Jingshi in an instant, and the Son of Heaven and the cabinet must urgently recruit the kings of Qin from all over the country. Especially Liaozhen, Xuanda, Shanxi, Ganshan and other nine-sided important towns. The elite of Guan Ningjun bore the brunt. Zhao Haiming pondered for a moment and said. If the imperial court loses the Beijing Division, it will be a national turmoil, and at this time, even Yuan Manzi will have to return to the army to rescue, unless he does not want the life of the Yuan family. ”

"Then if I am Huang Taiji, I must besiege the Beijing Division, force reinforcements from all over the country to fight in the field, win the battle, relieve my worries, and then go all out to loot." Zhao Lie said. This is not only the history of the previous life, but also Zhao Lie's consideration as a military general.

"Lie'er, my father believes that Jiannu can win the field battle, but it must be a heavy loss, why should Huang Taiji take this risk." Zhao Haiming looked at Zhao Lie and said, let's not discuss how to fight first, let's talk about why Huang Taiji took the risk of running thousands of miles.

"You must know that tens of thousands of soldiers have traveled thousands of miles long distances and penetrated deep into the enemy country for several months, why did Huang Taiji take this risk."

"Wild boar skins captured Liaodong. In the past few years, he has killed countless Han people and taken away his wife. Han people either rebel en masse, or flee into the pass, Liaodong Han people do not survive one in ten, most of the acres are barren, taxes are sharply reduced, the first few years of the old slaves have robbed the money and grain of Liao Town can still be supported, since Huang Taiji ascended the throne, the money and grain are exhausted, the acres of fields are withered, and in the past two years, the drought and flood in Liaodong have continued, and the acres of fields have failed, and the slaves may not be able to support if they do not loot again. ”

Zhao Lie came one by one, "The reason why Huang Taiji is willing to take this risk is that he is invincible in the field, even if he can't capture too many cities, he can retreat with his whole body, why don't you dare to attack Daming." ”

Zhao Haiming was speechless for a long time, a few years ago Zhao Lie said that Jiannu can take a detour into the Kou, he is thinking left and right, although he believes most of it, but he still has a thought in his heart, who knows that today Jiannu is really in the Kou, Daming is really a disaster.

Zhao Meng also felt extremely angry, such a big country as the Ming Dynasty was beaten by the small Liaodong Jiannu one after another, and there was almost no power to fight back, it was really aggrieved.

"Lie'er, this time Jiannu really entered the prison, thinking about Denglai for his father, he will definitely send troops to King Qin, and you, as a thousand households, will definitely be called to send troops, so it is extremely dangerous."

Zhao Haiming has been in the army for many years, and knows that Denglai is an important town close to Beijing outside of Liao Town and Xuanda, and he will definitely receive the will of King Qin, and Zhao Lie, as the head of a thousand households, will also be among the conscripts. "At that time, the soldiers were fierce and urgent, and they planned for a rainy day, so it was better to report the illness first."

"Don't worry, father, the child Jeju is enough to recreate slaves, which is proof in Iron Mountain." Zhao Lie first comforted his father, "Now I have to think about whether my Zhao family should go all out to participate in the war, and how to participate in the war." ”

Zhao Haiming and Zhao Meng were right, and they all wanted to hear what Zhao Lie said.

"If the Ming Dynasty wants to make every effort to repel the Jiannu, the country will be stable, the so-called outside must first be settled inside, the internal affairs are not repaired, the Ming Dynasty has no money and food to prepare for the war, you must know that there is no excellent armor and elite cavalry can not defeat the Jiannu. It's just that now the civil strife in Shanxi and Shaanxi in Daming is not stopped, in order to exterminate the rebellious people who were refused to build slaves, Daming only has to levy more salaries, suppress salaries, and practice salaries, plus the big and small officials and gentry are up and down, and the child asserts that there will be more people in the north of Daming who will die for this family and join the chaos, "Zhao Lie's tone is firm, full of confidence, and convincing. "With such endless internal and external troubles, the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty will definitely collapse,"

"Lie'er asserts that the Ming Dynasty will lose the country, so who can make a revolution?" Zhao Haiming asked.

"The war has lasted for so many years, the northern part of the Ming Dynasty is dilapidated, and Jiannu will be able to leap into the Yangtze River, as for whether it can occupy the south, it depends on whether the Ming Dynasty south of the Yangtze River is prepared for war, and whether it can be ruled by rowing the river with Jiannu." Zhao Lie said.

"Jiannu only has hundreds of thousands of people, how to determine the Central Plains," Zhao Meng shook his head and said, he thought that his younger brother was optimistic about what Jiannu said too much.

"Jiannu plundered the Ming Dynasty every two or three years, so that the Ming Dynasty bled more than once, but its hinterland in Liaodong was safe and sound, robbing the population from the Ming Dynasty to open up wasteland and resume farming, so that the national strength increased greatly in the past few years, and the Ming Dynasty was more and more embarrassed by internal and external difficulties, and the outcome was self-evident." Zhao Lie sighed.

This is the truth of history, almost all people in the Ming Dynasty are as Zhao Meng thinks, but they think that Jiannu is just constantly plundering in the north, but it is impossible to enter the Central Plains, but the result is that Jiannu seized the Han family, which makes people sigh.

"Vulgar and barbaric, not good at repairing politics, what Nurhachi did is proof that millions of Liao people were forced to abandon their homes and flee, and entered the customs one after another, you must know that Dingkou is the guarantee of national strength." Zhao Haiming still has doubts, some of Jiannu's actions don't seem to be able to succeed.

"My father probably didn't know, Huang Taiji ordered the Han officials to lead the Han people to open up the wasteland and farm, and the Han officials managed the Han people's tuntian, and the Han people paid fifty percent of the rent, and many Han people who stayed behind joined them, and even the Dongjiang Han people fled to Liaodong Tuntian, this is what happened last year. Huang Taiji's accession to the throne of the Khan King is a blessing for Jiannu. Zhao Lie said.

This is the news that Du Li found out from the Jin merchants through various channels, and this is no longer Zhao Lie's speculation.

"Is that true?" Zhao Haiming asked in surprise.

"It's true, the Dongjiang River was starved to death by Yuan Manzi, many people fled back to Liaodong to open up wasteland, Yuan Chenghuan is a disguised enemy, Yuan Chenghuan dared to face the saint and said that he would return to Liao in five years, I am afraid he also saw the weakness of Jiannu not repairing internal affairs, but now Yuan Chenghuan is cocooned and self-bound, what will happen in the future." Zhao Lie sneered.

Yuan Chenghuan dared to enlarge the cannon, Chongzhen dared to delegate power, he really dared to think and dare to do, he was not a seventeen or eighteen-year-old emperor, full of spirit.

It's a pity that Yuan Chenghuan's dictatorship caused the Dongjiang River to fall apart, and Jiannu was a bullet crown, which proved to be a big joke in five years. Only a young man who has never been in the world can believe in an open-mouthed minister so much.

"So the Ming Dynasty is in danger, when Mengyuan Kublai Khan reused Hanchen and Liaochen to destroy Song Dingyuan, and now Huang Taiji reuses Hanchen and Hanmin so much, and when the national strength increases greatly, it is the time of the Ming disaster." Of course, Zhao Haiming understands that it is very different for Huang Taiji to take this step to build a slave.

In the past, Jiannu was just similar to the Northern Captivity, only cared about plundering the Ming Dynasty, limited vision, staring at the Ding ration in front of him, grabbing the spoils, at most causing the erosion of the border land for the Central Plains There is no big threat, from now on, Jiannu can use the robbed Ding ration grain for a long time layout, pioneer farming, and gradually increase the national strength, while waiting for the Ming Dynasty to change. It's like a sword hanging on the top.

"Such a situation is clear, Shandong and Beizhili are adjacent to each other, once Jiannu looted Gyeonggi, sooner or later there will be a day south to sweep Shandong, Denglai is the foundation of my family in Daming, must not be lost, after all, my family's income in Daming accounts for most of it, such as the loss of Denglai, the money and grain Dingkou are greatly reduced, the strength of my Zhao family is greatly damaged, I am afraid that the Japanese slaves will take the opportunity to attack, Jeju and Beihua will be chaotic."

Zhao Lie did not exaggerate, now private salt and other income accounted for most of the income, based on Denglai is also convenient to introduce the huge number of displaced people in the Ming Dynasty, in the final analysis, the population of nearly 300,000 in Beihua and Jeju is still too small to be used.

"Lie'er is reasonable, without a few years of development, Beihua will not become a big tool, so not only can you not give up here, but Lie'er can be promoted to an important position to facilitate the Zhao family's actions." Zhao Haiming understood what Zhao Lie meant.

Now the small Qianhu is still too small, the power in his hands is limited, and he is not able to use it, if he wants to be promoted, at Zhao Lie's young age, unless he has made great contributions, where does the great merit come from, the generals can only kill the generals and capture the flag.

"The invasion of Jiannu is a good opportunity, but the sword and gun have no eyes, as a father, I still hope that you are safe, don't cling to the mud in front of you." Zhao Haiming sighed, he still hoped that his family would be safe, but he also knew that as a martial artist in troubled times, it was inevitable to experience a battle array.

"Thank you father, as long as the Jeju army acts with the child, the child can be safe, after all, Jiannu is only for money and food, if you eat our army and let it suffer heavy casualties, Jiannu only has less than 100,000 Chengding and can't afford to lose, but this is very troublesome." Zhao Lie said.

"There is no need to worry about this, when the time comes, your father can pretend to send more family members to accompany you on the expedition, and you can have 1,000 soldiers in your 1,000 households, and help you with 2,000 soldiers in the name of your father, and others will do the same."

The Ming generals have this benefit, as long as you have the financial resources to support the family, others can't say anything, such as Li Chengliang raised six or seven thousand families at most, and the court also pinched his nose and recognized it.

It is not uncommon for other high-ranking military generals to raise one or two thousand families, as long as you can afford it, when the court points you to go on the expedition, you will have combat power, otherwise you will only rely on beggars and military households, and you will definitely be defeated and returned, either let the enemy cut off his head, or be held accountable and beheaded by the court afterwards.

Therefore, the family of the military general at the end of the Ming Dynasty was his last support, and the Wenchen of the overseer army also followed suit, acquiescing to what the military general did, who made the guards unbearable.

"After my father returns, I will recruit family members and create momentum, and this name will not be there, but there are some unsightly Wenchen imperial histories that have been involved in several books, and there will be no big things."

Zhao Haiming agreed with Zhao Lie's actions, there is no way, wealth and wealth are in danger, and the Zhao family is now sailing against the current and retreating without advancing. (To be continued.) )
