Chapter 349: The Sword Pointed at the Hole Thief
"Why, are you scared? Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Zhao Lie looked at the expressionless face, and everyone smiled.
"My lord, it seems that our army still needs to increase its military strength to compete with Jiannu." Wanji replied with a grin.
"Alas, it's really not easy, the people under the rule of our army are limited, even if we can gather some of the displaced people in Denglai from this turmoil, can we reach the more than 100,000 Liao people in Jiannu," Zhao Lie shook his head, "Even if there are so many displaced people, we can't afford to resettle them, and we can't afford to operate this work." ”
"What my lord said is extremely true," Zhao Meng said with a wry smile, "The money and grain spent on relocating the Liao people in the past few years can hollow out a treasure fleet. ”
Zhao Meng now calls Zhao Lie an adult in front of everyone, and the humility must be observed, so Zhao Lie did not stop it.
Everyone was silent, and the two million dollars of silver in a treasure fleet were not enough, which showed how appalling the cost was.
"Therefore, we must expand the number of the broken army, but we can't start with all the displaced people, after all, we don't have that kind of money and food, fortunately, the thieves have given us a chance," Zhao Lie pointed to the north,
"What will happen if our army defeats the Confucian thieves, recovers Denglai, and brings Denglai Dusi under his command."
"Why don't you take the Denglai general army into your pocket, this is nearly 10,000 soldiers." Huang Han suggested that in his opinion, the soldiers were important.
Li Lu echoed casually, and he also looked at Denglai's seven or eight thousand soldiers.
"Nearly 10,000 soldiers, hehe, how did the Son of Heaven sleep." Zhao Lie smiled bitterly.
Everyone also laughed twice, and the Son of Heaven's suspicion of Zhao Lie was well known.
"In this way, our army must defeat Kong Youde and seize Denglai. Let the court have to worship the lord as the capital secretary. Tang Xianwen said in one sentence.
Zhao Lie nodded. "If you can control Denlaidus. It is nine guards, each guard has 3,000 troops, and there are nearly 30,000 soldiers. In addition to the army headquarters, there are also sixty or seventy thousand people, although they cannot speak the same day as Jiannu, but they are enough to break the enemy. ”
Everyone talked about it, although the combat power of the Broken Army was stronger, but it was really not enough compared with the more than 200,000 Jiannu. It's really a decisive battle, and it's still a lack of troops.
Zhao Lie smiled and listened to everyone's discussion silently.
Everyone discussed for a long time, but there was no definite result.
"My lord, I have to tell me how you can defeat the enemy with one blow." Huang Han looked at Zhao Lie hopefully.
The crowd looked to the leader who had led them through victory after victory.
"Jiannu's army is strong, but he has his fatal weakness," Zhao Lie's powerful voice echoed in the hall, and everyone immediately raised their spirits to listen.
"In order to weaken the Ming Dynasty and rob the Ming Dynasty's Dingkou and wealth, Jiannu will frequently enter the Ming Dynasty. In this way, Jiannu will divide his army, that is, divide his own army in two. Some of the guards and nurses, most of them entered Kou Daming to loot, which left a fighter plane for my broken army, and our army can concentrate the main force of the broken army to defeat the main force of Kou Daming in one fell swoop, so the overall situation is determined. Zhao Lie categorically stated his strategy.
"What the adults say is very true, what they say is extremely true." Li Lu patted the case.
"My lord, Jiannu has only entered the Kou once, and there has been no movement in the past two years, so it is really impossible to enter the Kou Ming Dynasty frequently." Xu Hong wondered.
"Haha, Lao Xu, Jiannu robbed gold and silver last time, you tell me if they will come, if you want me to say, it depends on the Ming army losing to Kong Youde one after another, Jiannu also has to come back to loot, even Kong Youde can't beat the Ming army, Jiannu is very afraid." Huang Han said disdainfully.
Everyone nodded one after another, this sweetness Jiannu tasted, how can he be willing to give up, as long as the time comes, he will have to come once, this is for sure, it depends on how long it takes.
"In that case, my lord, it is a top priority to defeat Kong Youde as soon as possible and recover Dengzhou." Zhao Meng looked at Zhao Lie.
"In this way, Jinghaiwei's 2,000 garrisons and 1,000 cavalry are not enough." Huang Han thought about it.
"Therefore, I ordered Jeju Town to send a total of 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry to Shidao to prepare for battle." Zhao Lie said.
"Yes." Li Lu stood up and replied loudly.
Li Lu peeked at Zhao Lie and gritted his teeth, "My lord, you see that the war is approaching, is it that I also came from Jeju to help in the war." ”
"Okay, it's the first credit to put the Beihua garrison in Jeju in order." Zhao Lie shook his head, this Li Lu was indeed crazy in Jeju.
"My lord, the Beihua Reserve Army has completed its training now, and I don't have any major events in Jeju." Li Lu wilted his head and said.
"Li Lu, Ben will know you, Jeju is on the important ground to support Beihua, Shidao, and Seomi Island, and Ben will tell you that you will suffer in the future." Zhao Lie nodded at him.
Li Lu sat down at the promise, still a little unhappy.
Huang Han smiled gloatingly.
Li Lu glanced at him a few times, hating him very much, his mother's good things were all caught by Huang Han.
"Okay, it's good that Wanji came back this time, if you don't turn back, I will also call you back and tell you about the situation in Beihua." Zhao Lie ordered Wanji to talk.
"Yes." Wan Ji got up and saluted Zhao Lie, and then turned to everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, there is no major famine in Beihua this year, it can be regarded as a bumper harvest year, this year's commercial taxes and land taxes totaled 170,000 silver dollars, excluding military and political expenses, and the balance can be more than 108,000." ”
Wanji's voice is loud, Beihua is finally completed, and more than 1 million acres of land will be taxed next year, which means that the land will be doubled, and at the same time, there will be more than 100,000 people with surplus money in their hands, and the commercial tax will also increase greatly.
"According to your lordship's instructions, the Beihua Government Affairs Department has purchased more than 1 million stone grain, one is to supply Shidao for backup, and the other is to reserve Fangmao Port and Huadu in Beihua, just to welcome the displaced people in Denglai."
Wanji looked at everyone with blazing eyes.
"In addition, more than 4,000 Beihua Reserve Army has completed training in Jeju, and they are acting according to the orders of the adults, and the Beihua Fleet is now also established, with three Tang-class warships, ten patrol ships, and ten clippers, and our Beihua coast has also entered the fleet inspection."
"Well, yes, three years ago, Ben will hand over Beihua to you, and now you will return a self-sufficient Beihua to Ben General, and Ben will remember your first credit." Zhao Lie stroked his palms and praised.
"Thank you for your compliment, firstly, these are handled according to the instructions of the adults, and secondly, Gu Wuyue, Bai Shidi, Ma Quanfu and others are also indispensable, and their subordinates dare not take credit." Wanji bowed.
"Well, don't worry, you and others have done their jobs, and they have all made great contributions, and they will be remembered in their hearts." Zhao Lie said with a smile.
Other people congratulated Zhao Lie and Wan Ji, but it can be said that in the past few years, in addition to fighting with Jiannu, Shidao Jeju has tilted all its resources to Beihua, which is the giant garrison of Shidao.
Zhao Lie raised his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet, "Wanji, let's talk about the Anui and the Japanese people on Beihua Island." ”
"Yes, the Japanese and the Anui people on Beihua Island are now deeply connected, in the past, the Anui people and their prevention of the invasion of the Japanese people on Shisheng, for this many battles, each other won and lost, but in the past two years, the Anui people let the Japanese people enter, a large number of Japanese people purchased a large number of Japanese iron, weapons, and even hired Japanese warriors to train their troops." Speaking of this, Wanji's face became solemn.
"In the final analysis, in order to resist our army, we will take precautions, and my subordinates will discuss with Ma Zongzhen that if our army marches ten victories, the Japanese and the Anui will definitely form an alliance to confront them, and in addition, the Japanese will probably also send troops to help."
"Can you control the sea surface of Beihua and the main state of the Japanese Kingdom, so that the reinforcements of the Japanese Kingdom cannot arrive." Zhao Meng asked.
"Jeju's fleet has too few ships to come for inspection." Wanji shook his head.
Now the Beihua Fleet is just enough to patrol the waters of northern Beihua.
Zhao Meng looked at Li Hu.
"Unless all the patrol boats and clippers are relocated, it will never be possible." Li Hu shook his head.
As soon as Li Hu's words came out, others knew that it was impossible, and now Jeju is facing pressure from the Japanese sailors to protect the trade routes of Macau, which is also a 100,000 yuan a year.
There is also the collection of sea taxes, and now this kind of work can bring nearly 100,000 yuan of income to the Broken Army every month, and it is also a major item of the income of the Broken Army, how can it be stopped.
"Regardless of whether he increases his troops or not, he must win ten victories this year, otherwise the land needed by a large number of Denglai refugees will not be settled, tell Ma Quanfu, I only need ten victories." Zhao Lie showed his domineering side, as the leader, he only had to issue orders, and how to complete it was the business of his subordinates.
This is the same as the operation of the company, the CEO of the company is in control of the overall situation, and other specific implementation is of course completed by subordinates.
"Yes." Wanji respectfully accepted the order.
"My lord, how about the southern Hokkaido clan in the southwest?" Wanji asked.
"Let's keep it for now, the military strength is still insufficient, Shidao needs to be used here, the Jeju army is transferred, and the Beihua reserve army can't all return to Beihua, so we have to stay some." Save it for the next year. Zhao Lie was also helpless.
Now that the two fronts are attacking, the troops are stretched.
"Xu Hong, how is the Denglai refugees accommodating?" Zhao Lie turned to Xu Hong.
"My lord, it's inconvenient for me to come forward in Shidao, now they are all handled by Luo Pang and other businessmen, and they are recruited under the pretext that their business fleet needs to be used, and now there are only seventy or eighty thousand refugees in Shidao, and there are still twenty or thirty thousand on the way." Xu Hong replied.
He is also helpless, since Shidao wants to act secretly, he can't show his face too much, he can only let the merchants of the Shidao department go out, and the obstruction of officials at all levels is enough for these people to take care of, so this process is really not very fast, plus the transportation from central Shandong to deal with the rebels and the official army, which not only consumes money and food, but also does not speed up.
"This is not in a hurry, after defeating Kong Youde, there will not be many obstacles." Zhao Lie waved his hand.
In his opinion, the day is approaching.
"Li Hu, this time the army is mobilized and the refugees are transported, and the water division needs to transport them, and I will not listen to other problems, I just want you to do your best to protect it, can you." Zhao Lie looked at Li Hu.
Li Hu smiled bitterly, to be honest, it is very difficult, but it has to be hard topped, how much money did the adults spend on the sailor's boat, this matter is not good, it is really unreasonable. (To be continued.) )
