Zhao Lie looked at the expressions of his subordinates around him, and smiled slightly, it was time to tell the whole story, this is also to unify the idea of breaking the military and political system of the army, and work together to overcome difficulties. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hang up the map of the Ming Dynasty." Zhao Lie commanded.

Bai Shidi stepped forward to hang up the map of the Ming Dynasty, these are all things that must be in the government affairs hall and county governance, between the urgency of discussing the issue at this time, there are no other people in the room, Bai Shidi can only do it himself.

Zhao Lie pointed to Shanxi, "Since the outbreak of the Shanshan civil rebellion during the Apocalypse, although the imperial court has continuously sent troops and horses to encircle and suppress, and even mobilized heavy troops from other border towns to encircle and suppress, but the Shanshan people are in turmoil, why?"

Zhao Lie looked at everyone, and everyone also looked at him intently,

"If the civil unrest in Shanxi is just a few counties, it can be said that it is an occasional corner, but the civil unrest has been going on for ten years and is getting more and more intense, then it is not a simple civil unrest, but a military and political erosion, and the survival of the entire people has become a problem, and there is no way to survive without rebellion."

Zhao Lie looked around at everyone,

"In the early years, I told you and so on, the land annexation of the Ming Dynasty is too cruel, especially the small people in the north are pressed out of breath, as long as there is a great famine year, if the imperial court can not provide large-scale relief, there will be a great chaos, but the court because of the Korean affairs and the successive defeats of the encirclement and suppression of Jiannu, the treasury is extremely empty, and the mountain and Shaanxi have been famine for many years, and the imperial court can only take out 200,000 taels of silver for disaster relief, and the car and water are paid."

Zhao Lie drew a circle downward with his hand,

"Now that the civil unrest has spread to Henan and Gansu, and to Huguang, it can also be said that this area has been eroded."

Zhao Lie suddenly pointed to the northeast,

"Since the end of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty has lost millions of acres of fertile land in Liaoshen and Liaodong, more than 100,000 Dingkou, after the Daling River, and now several cities in Jinzhou and Ningyuan are already in danger."

Zhao Lie wrapped his left and right hands together. Everyone understood what he meant, the people on the left were in turmoil, and the right was a slave, just sandwiching Daming in it, which was the rhythm of two-sided combat.

"Since last year, for the first time, the salaries, salaries, and salaries that have been continuously collected for more than ten years have begun to decline. Do you know what that means? ”

"My lord, this means that the imperial court no longer has enough money and food to continue to resist slaves and suppress the rebellion." Wan Ji understands this too well, how to settle the people without money in his hand, how to strengthen the armor and purge the army, and the example of Beihua is in front of him.

"If that's all there is, Da Ming can also barely maintain it, after all, as long as he is trapped in Shanhaiguan, he can keep Jiannu out of the pass, and then go all out to deal with the civil unrest. It's not impossible to exterminate the people's rebellion, but if you think about it, if you wait in the position of Huang Taiji, Chongzhen entered Kou Daming in the second and third years, plundered hundreds of thousands of Dingkou, and millions of gold and silver, such a big harvest, plus the Northwest Mongolian tribes have surrendered. North Korea is cowardly and incompetent, and there is no opponent behind it. How can Daming, the fat sheep, let go. ”

Zhao Lie sighed.

"My lord means that Jiannu will also enter Kou Daming Gyeonggi." Gu Wuyue asked.

"Of course, if Jiannu is invincible in the field, he dares to enter the pass and make a windfall, so that the northern part of the Ming Dynasty can be completely corrupted, why not. Ben will assert that next year Jiannu will be in the prison. After all, this year's Lushun War, its losses are not light, and it has to be raised. ”

Zhao Lie began to pretend to be a god stick and make assertions.

If someone else said it, there might still be a lot of controversy, but Zhao Lie used his usual correctness to subdue everyone. Since the adults said that Jiannu would still enter the Kou, then it must be so, everyone seems to have seen the raging fire enveloping the north of the Ming Dynasty, one side in the west and one side in the east.

Everyone's faces are not good-looking, although they are not from a scholarly family, and they don't have much concept of the Four Books and Five Classics, but after all, they have been trained under Zhao Lie for many years, and they know that if internal and external troubles make the people of the Ming Dynasty unable to cultivate with peace of mind, it will make the Ming rule collapse, that is to say, the Ming Dynasty will not be long in life, and the Central Plains will experience a Ding Revolution again.

"Looking at the current situation in the Ming Dynasty, only the general can save the people from fire and water and turn the tide." Wanji got up and said with plastic surgery.

"Subordinates seconded." Gu Wuyue and Bai Shidi also got up and echoed.

"It's not just Ben Jiang, it's us who want to do this kind of turnaround, but it can be said that Ben Jiang has been waiting for ten years for this day, and you have been busy for ten years, without you waiting, Ben would not have been able to do anything." Zhao Lie replied with a warm hand.

"We are all adults who are simply pulling out the grass, if there is no adult, now I can't wait but still walk in the water division, and the ministers are grateful." Gu Wuyue bowed and saluted respectfully.

Wanji Baishidi also hurriedly bowed and thanked him, but he scolded secretly in his heart, okay, see that you are silent on weekdays, but you can speak well in front of adults, and you have been deceived by you on weekdays, it turns out that the most clever here is your old Gu.

Of course, it was laughing and scolding, and after that, it was indispensable to squeeze Lao Gu, so I had to go to the restaurant a few times.

"Okay, let's not talk about this," Zhao Lie waved his hand, "Now you wait to tell me, if the internal and external troubles are urgent, which one our army needs to solve first." ”

Zhao Lie was determined to study them, and when he was discussing in Shidao, he had already argued with Zhao Meng, Xu Hong, and Tang Xianwen, and today Zhao Lie wanted to see the opinions of these subordinates.

The three of them thought hard for a long time, and one of them opened his mouth first,

"My lord, for my captive army, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight is the best move." Bai Shidi said leisurely.

"Well, what Bai Shidi said is very reasonable," Zhao Lie looked at Bai Shidi and nodded, well, this kid has passed the test, "It's just that there are a few things that determine that our army can't wait forever." ”

The three of them hurriedly held their breath and stared, because the adults were about to get to the most important point.

"First of all, due to the corruption and incompetence of the Ming officials and the extreme greed of the gentry, the Shanshan civil unrest may be able to burn all over the country, and then I will be left with a large mess, which may not be able to restore the old view for decades,"

Thinking that it took almost fifty years for the Central Plains to relieve this breath in later generations, Zhao Lie couldn't help but sigh at the tragedy of this Ding Revolution.

"Then there is the extreme expansion of the power of Liaodong Jiannu, and now the number of new Ming people who defect to the wasteland every year is 10,000, at most there are 100,000, which not only provides a lot of money and food for Jiannu to build armor, but also provides a large number of soldiers for the Jiannu Han military banner, and then I am afraid that there will be nearly 100,000 people in the Han army banner later, and although the Ming Dynasty will die, but these two enemies have also become behemoths, and then our army may not be able to go down, but it is just a tragic victory."

Zhao Lie is not talking about his speculation, but the truth of history, although the Manchu Qing defeated Li Zicheng in Beijing, but in the following decades, the mess in the Central Plains was enough to make them anxious.

Li Zicheng's remnants, the Southern Ming Dynasty, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty fought against each other, China was full of smoke and blood, and Dingkou was sharply reduced by 10 million, until Kangxi was middle-aged, and the entire national strength slowly improved, and the rice grain per mu of Dingkou Tian slowly returned to its previous heyday, when a full 50 years have passed.

"In this way, only to defeat Jiannu first, after all, Jiannu is close to our left, and our army is also connected, and the civil unrest is far away from our army, our army can not engage with it without the permission of the imperial court, that is, the imperial court allows, and our army has become the knife in the hands of the imperial court, it is better to keep this chaos to give the court a headache, so that our army can concentrate on dealing with the great enemy of Jiannu."

Wan Ji didn't hesitate.

"What Wan Ji said is what Ben Jiang thinks, you must know that the root of the civil unrest is the combination of grace and power, it is easy to defeat a large group of thieves, it is not easy to appease the people, and you need to get a lot of money and food, so you know why Ben will take money and food so seriously."

Zhao Lie nodded.

Wan Ji, Gu Wuyue, and Bai Shidi responded with a smile.

"Of course, it is not a good thing to concentrate on dealing with Jiannu, the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu will fight, losing hundreds of thousands of soldiers and thousands of generals, needless to say that most of them are wine bags and rice bags, but there are still a lot of elite soldiers and strong generals, the reason why the final defeat is not in the way is that the field battle of Jiannu is not defeated, so it is impossible to fight a decisive battle with Jiannu without cavalry."

Zhao Lie pointed to Gyeonggi and Shandong on the map,

"Once Jiannu enters the Kou, a large area of plains here can gallop across its iron cavalry, and if our army wants to annihilate its main force, it is necessary to fight in the field, do you agree or not."

Zhao Lie asked the three of them, and all three of them nodded, they were not the first brothers of the battle formation, they all knew.

If you defend the city, of course, you can use the strong city to severely damage the attacking enemy, but the foundation of Jiannu will not be damaged, after all, the cavalry of the brigade is destined to have a strong mobility ability, and you can retreat if defeated, do you dare to chase, the pursuit is too deep, Jiannu only needs to come back to the carbine, cut off the grain and grass of the infantry team, and force you to fight a decisive battle, and then you will want to cry without tears.

"In this way, I have to wait, this time I will go to Jeju, where I learned that there will be 4,000 war horses slaughtered in Jeju Ranch this year, and more than 6,000 war horses will be slaughtered next year.

Zhao Lie pointed to Gyeonggi and Shandong,

"At that time, use Jiannu to divide the army into two ways to enter the Ming Dynasty, and when the five fingers cannot be brought together, annihilate the army that entered the Kou, and then attack Liaodong, smash the Yellow Dragon, and level the great disaster of Jiannu in one fell swoop."

"Is it to reinforce Liaodong this time, is it to involve the Jiannu forces, so that they can only leave heavy troops in the southeast of Liaoning, and cannot go all out to attack Ming, which is conducive to our army gathering and annihilating it." Gu Wuyue immediately saw Zhao Lie's purpose of personally reinforcing Lushun.

"That's right, we must not let Jiannu form a joint force, otherwise our army will win, and it will be a tragic victory, and the ten years of life will be ruined in one fell swoop, and what will be used to march into the Central Plains and Jiangnan."

Zhao Lie nodded in approval.

"Before that, this year we will solve the Japanese once and for all, and then, I want you to settle the big rear of Beihua, and try your best to provide soldiers and rice for Denglai.

Zhao Lie has very high expectations for Beihua, if he can provide him with more than 10,000 elite soldiers here, plus the abundant money and grain in this land, it will be a great help to the Broken Army.

"Don't worry, my lord, my lord will die." For the first time, the three of them agreed as subordinates. (To be continued.) )
