"Zhenwu Hou, Wuliang Ha Sanwei is now entrenched outside the Shanhai Pass, there are 40,000 or 50,000 troops, including nearly 20,000 cavalry, in the customs diplomatic war Wuliang Ha Sanwei already occupies a geographical advantage, and now there are many cavalry, once the cavalry array launches a charge, it is difficult for our army to frustrate its edge."

Zhang Fu was the first to recover from the shock, and warned Li Yuntian in a serious tone, in his opinion, even if the Xiaowu army was brave, how could the flesh and blood be able to compete with the cavalry, and the Mongols relied on cavalry to sweep the world back then.

Although it is difficult to reproduce the glorious scene of the Mongols in the past, the combat effectiveness of its cavalry is still very strong, and it is difficult for the Ming cavalry to resist if it charges head-on.

The reason why Liang Kun's 120,000-strong army was defeated was that the Mongol cavalry was scattered by the surprise attack, and then the army was defeated.

Therefore, Li Yuntian wanted to use 10,000 Xiaowu troops to defeat the 40,000 or 50,000 troops of Wuliang Ha Sanwei, which was an impossible task in Zhang Fu's opinion.

Emperor Xuande's eyes showed a puzzled look, and he looked at Li Yuntian with some puzzlement, he knew that Li Yuntian was a person, and he would not say such amazing words for no reason.

"Taishi, it is precisely because the Wuliang Ha Sanwei controls the main road from Shanhaiguan to Liaodong, so the lower officials decided to take the sea route, through Tianjin Wei Port to resist the Liaokou Port of Gaizhou Wei on the Liaodong Peninsula, and then avoid the Wuliang Ha Sanwei."

Li Yuntian knew the doubts in everyone's hearts, so he bowed slightly to Zhang Fu and said in an orderly manner, "Several sea ships from the Jiangwutang are parked in Tianjin Port, which is enough to transport 10,000 Xiaowu troops to the city. ”

Because he was worried that the situation in Liaodong would change, Li Yuntian had already given an order to Jiangwutang when he left Beijing with Emperor Xuande, and asked Jiangwutang to quietly send the three-masted sailing ship that had been built from the base in Nanzhili to Tianjin Port to standby.

Now that Li Yuntian's worries have become a reality, and the Ming army's war in Liaodong has fallen into passivity, those three-masted sailing ships have undoubtedly come in handy and have become an important way to connect the capital of Liaodong with the capital.

"I see!" Zhang Fu couldn't help but nod when he heard this, and the look on his face softened, he almost forgot that Li Yuntian still had Daming's sea ship in his hand.

To tell the truth, if it were not for the last resort, Li Yuntian was unwilling to send sea ships, the risk of sea transportation was much higher than that on land, and once it encountered a storm, there was a danger of annihilation of the entire army.

Moreover, before the defeat of Liang Kun, no one would have thought that the Ming army would be forced by the Wuliang Ha Sanwei to bypass the Shanhai Pass and reach Liaodong by water.

The faces of everyone at the scene also showed thoughtful looks, and I have to say that Li Yuntian's waterway is a shortcut to reach Liaodong.

"Marquis Zhenwu, I appointed you as the general of Zhengdong, the general of Liaodong military affairs." Emperor Xuande saw that Li Yuntian had already planned the route of sending troops to Liaodong, and he was even more relieved, so he issued an edict in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, the righteous prince has a very high prestige in the army and has rich experience in fighting with the enemy, and the minister thinks that the military affairs of Liaodong must not be in the hands of the righteous prince, and he is willing to assist the righteous country to fairly determine the rebellion in Liaodong."

Li Yuntian saw that Emperor Xuande was going to hand over the military and political power of Liaodong to him, and hurriedly resigned when he heard the words, the Ming Dynasty was very particular about seniority, Zhang Hao was not only more senior than Li Yuntian but also his elder, how could he be above Zhang Hao?

"Okay, I ordered you to be the deputy chief soldier of Liaodong to assist the Duke of Yiguo in conquering the three guards of Wuliang Ha!" Emperor Xuande naturally knew this, what he said before was just a favor for Zhang Hao to lead Li Yuntian, and then changed the edict.

"Obey the order!" Li Yuntian bowed to Emperor Xuande when he heard this, and replied in a deep voice.

Due to the urgency of the situation, Li Yuntian did not delay at all, and immediately began to arrange for the 10,000 soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Legion under the command of the Xiaowu Army to rush back to the capital after leaving Emperor Xuande's imperial tent.

Thanks to the perfect logistics system of the Xiaowu Army, Li Yuntian actually had nothing to prepare, and as soon as the order was conveyed to the Vermilion Bird Legion, the soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Legion packed up and set off in an orderly manner.

Emperor Xuande personally saw Li Yuntian off, and before leaving, he repeatedly told Li Yuntian to pay attention to safety, he would rather Liaodong be defeated than let Li Yuntian live, as long as Li Yuntian is alive, he will definitely be able to take Liaodong back.

Zhang Fu and Yang Rong and other accompanying court officials also advised Li Yuntian, after all, Zhang Hao and Liang Kun had been planted in Liaodong one after another, and they didn't want Li Yuntian to repeat the mistakes of the two, let alone Li Yuntian in danger.

Li Yuntian nodded again and again for everyone's entrustment, in fact, compared to the battle situation in Liaodong, he was more worried about Emperor Xuande's northern expedition, in his opinion, the enemy army fighting with Niu Shihao was obviously preserving its strength, and did not fight hard with the Ming army.

Therefore, before leading the army to leave, Li Yuntian specially summoned the military attachés at or above the regimental level among the 30,000 Xiaowu troops who remained behind for a brief meeting, and strictly ordered everyone not to relax, otherwise military law would be involved.

After Li Yuntian left, the command of the Xiaowu army fell on the body of the Xiaoyong Marquis Wang Jian, Li Yuntian instructed him and Wuping Boliang Shaojie not to underestimate the enemy, this time the Tatars fought and retreated again and again It seems that they are luring the enemy, so let the two not ask for a battle to attack, they must firmly guard the side of Emperor Xuande, and protect the thoughtfulness of Emperor Xuande and the ministers of civil and military affairs, otherwise he will engage in military law even if he has made military achievements.

If it were someone else, Wang Jian and Liang Shaojie would definitely disdain the military order prohibiting war, but the Ming army relied on military merit to be promoted, and now the Tatars are weak, and the merits of leading the army to gallop to Monan to conquer the defeated Tatar army are simply captured, and these merits are enough to make people increase their officials and enter the knighthood.

However, the military orders of the Xiaowu Army are strict, and Li Yuntian is an absolute authority, plus Li Yuntian has never been defeated on the battlefield, so Wang Jian and Liang Shaojie and other military attaches of the Xiaowu Army are deeply convinced by Li Yuntian's special ban on war, and no one dares to violate the law.

It is precisely because of this that the Xiaowu Army led by Wang Jian, Liang Shaojie and others shined in Emperor Xuande's Northern Expedition, echoing Li Yuntian's battle situation in Liaodong, and then established the elite status of the Xiaowu Army in one fell swoop.

After separating from the army led by Emperor Xuande, Li Yuntian led the army to march all the way and arrived at Juyong Pass in only seven days.

Of course, Li Yuntian asked Guo Zi to solve the grain and grass matter of this reinforcement of Liaodong, although Li Yuntian could find a way to raise troops on the spot, but he could not do anything about the military resources needed, so he could only find the household department to withdraw them.

Because of the collection of the Daming Taxation Bureau and the handling of the property confiscated from the Lianghuai Yandao corruption case, Guo Zi did not go out with Emperor Xuande.

At this time, the confiscated property in the two Huai Yandao corruption cases has already been counted, and Emperor Xuande's inner treasury has already obtained forty percent of it.

In the eyes of many civil officials in the capital, even if the martial arts hall only gets one percent of the property, it is as high as more than 10 million taels, and it has already earned a lot of money, so it should be content, after all, in addition to Jiaozhi, the Ming Dynasty also has two capitals and thirteen provinces that need to allocate money.

The officials of the household department will never dare to snub Emperor Xuande's inner treasury, and the slightest carelessness is the crime of bullying the king, but it is different to talk about Wutang, which belongs to the military attache yamen, and they are naturally not afraid of talking about Wutang to find trouble, and it is their specialty to shirk prevarication.

In fact, the officials of the household department did not want to rely on the one-and-a-half of the silver in the Wutang, after all, this was approved by Emperor Xuande before Li Yuntian went to Yangzhou, they just wanted to make a fortune from it, like this kind of flowing water of tens of millions of taels is very rare, if you don't get some benefits, you will not have this point in this village.

Moreover, with the establishment of the Daming Taxation Bureau, there are fewer and fewer ways for the household to get oil and water, so many officials want to do a big job in the batch of materials allocated to the lecture hall.

Anyway, Li Yuntian went with Emperor Xuande's northern expedition, and he didn't know what he could come back to, and before that, the household department would naturally drag it back, and wanted to let the people in the martial arts hall take some benefits with interest, and both parties were very happy.

The officials of the household department can wait, but the people who speak the Wutang government hall can't, and the political envoys of Jiaozhi are waiting for them to allocate money and goods to pay for the various construction projects in Jiaozhi.

In addition, the lecture hall has a strict financial system, and the people of the lecture hall have no way to start even if they want to give benefits to those household officials, so the two sides are deadlocked.

Therefore, when Li Yuntian entered the capital, the people who spoke about the Wutang government affairs hall finally broke out a conflict with the officials of the household department, and a military attache of the administrative office blocked a lang Zhong of the household department who was responsible for the allocation of materials in a green building the night before Li Yuntian arrived in the capital, and the two sides disagreed and a conflict broke out in the green building, and a big fight broke out in the green building, resulting in both injuries.

After the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division arrived at the scene, they sent the two to the medical hall, and notified the Jiangwutang and the Hubu, and when Li Yuntian entered the city, the Jiangwutang and the Hubu each sent personnel to negotiate in the Wucheng Terracotta Division.

For the Five Cities Terracotta Division, neither the Wutang nor the Hubu were the yamen they could afford to provoke, so they hoped that the two sides would settle the matter privately on their own.

As soon as Li Yuntian entered the city, he heard about the dispute between the Jiangwutang and the Hubu, and suddenly felt extremely helpless in his heart, how could he not know the psychology of those officials in the Hubu, could those people forget why those officials in the Lianghuai Salt Road were transferred to Jiaozhi?

Due to the urgency of the situation in Liaodong, Li Yuntian was not in the mood to entangle the one-and-a-half money with the household department, so he first entered the palace to meet the prince, and met with Yang Shiqi, Jian Yi and Zhou Zheng, who assisted the prince, and then waited for night to fall and went straight to the house of the household department Shangshu Guo Zi, and came to the back door of the Shangshu Mansion.

"What for? Do you know where this is? He knocked on the back door, and a doorman pushed the door open, and saw several unsightly and ordinarily dressed men standing outside the door, so he asked with an arrogant face, looking rather impatient.

Behind the doorman stood a dozen or so sturdy guards, holding clubs and other weapons in their hands, and with a Pu knife hanging from their waists. looked at Li Yuntian and the others with a vigilant expression, and it was obvious that going through the back door at night was quite abnormal.

As the saying goes, the prime minister has seven officials in front of the door, although Shangshu is not as good as the prime minister, but he is also a first-class court member, so the doorman guarding the door also looks arrogant when facing outsiders.

"Sue your family Shangshu, I have something important to tell you." Standing behind Li Yuntian, a guard who looked a little thin and petite, took out a waist card of the brocade-clothed Weibei Town Fusi Baihu from his arms, shook it at the doorman expressionlessly, lowered his voice and whispered.
