Today, Wang Jun forcibly demanded that Guo Wei remove Prime Minister Fan Zhen and Li Gu, and replace them with Yan Jin, a scholar of Duanming Palace, and Chen Guan, a privy direct scholar. This imperial power is monopolized, how can others be allowed to touch it.

But Guo Wei said to Wang Jun for the sake of face, this matter is big, let me think about it.

But Wang Jun didn't give up, his mouth was not inferior, and he scolded Guo Wei a few words. At this time, Guo Wei was about to have lunch, Wang Jun was still nagging on the side, Guo Wei was really helpless, so he had to reluctantly agree.

As the saying goes, those who make the world with their merits often have strong ministers; Those who make the world with their strength often have arrogant soldiers.

Being forced by Wang Jun step by step, Guo Wei couldn't bear it anymore, and this situation couldn't continue anymore, so he decided to fight back.

……。

On the first day of the first month of the third year of liberation.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty climbed the Chongguang Hall to accept the congratulations of hundreds of civil and military officials, and the honor guards were neatly arranged according to etiquette.

After that, Baili Wuji rewarded the hundred officials, and brought the second queen and the second concubine to worship the temple.

The national power of the Ming Kingdom has become more and more prosperous, and the people have basically forgotten the days when they were hungry.

Last year, the annual income of the Ming Kingdom exceeded 10,000 taels, and the number of gold and silver tickets issued reached 20 million taels and 30,000 taels respectively. After the victory of the Northern Expedition, Baili Wuji completely canceled the circulation of metal currency in the Ming Dynasty, and used the stock of gold and silver as a reserve to circulate paper money throughout the country.

Since the inclusion of Shudi, the annual steel output of the Ming Kingdom has exceeded six million catties.

More than 50,000 students have successfully graduated from Tanzhou and Jinling.

These students are filled with all levels of government and various industries in the Ming Kingdom, which makes the Ming Kingdom full of vitality.

The production capacity of muskets is also constantly increasing. More than five hundred muskets entered the ordnance warehouses every month.

The shipyard began to build two improved warships and a trial steam merchant ship.

……。

When Baili Wuji was intoxicated with a beautiful vision, the uninteresting Baili Kang came at this time and poured a basin of cold water on Baili Wuji's head.

Forty percent of the horses of the cavalry of the special operations army are old. A new horse needs to be replaced.

Baili Wuji was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and he still wanted to lead the special operations army to the north, but he didn't want to leave the division yet, and half of the cavalry was disabled.

This war horse doesn't mean that there is one, and it can be changed when it is changed.

You can't buy it even if you have money, Baili Wuji regretted returning more than 10,000 war horses to Guo Wei.

Baili Wuji naturally couldn't find a way to get war horses, this was not one or two hundred. It's 5,000 horses, buy them from Guo Wei? Unlikely. Baili Wuji shook his head.

In this way, the army establishment in the north needs to be reorganized.

Baili Wuji ordered Baili Kang to temporarily garrison the cavalry in Jinling. Concentrate on expanding the musketeers, since the cavalry can't count on them, then they can only use the musketeers as a killer weapon.

The stock of muskets has reached more than 13,000, and Baili Wuji ordered Bailikang to select soldiers with good eyesight among the 200,000 recruits who have completed training. Expanded to 20,000 people. And gathered for shooting training. When Bailikang took the order and left, Baili Wuji remembered that he forgot to ask him about the progress of his marriage.

Baili Wuji shook his head, thinking, it was really not enough to attack Liao in the north with a musket charged only by relying on the breech charge. Although the technology of gunpowder production has matured in recent years, and musket ammunition has also been prefabricated columnar, before the manufacture of back-charged rifled guns. The cavalry is still the king of the battlefield, and the cavalry of the Liao army is even more terrifying.

Baili Wuji was proud of the fighting spirit of the soldiers of the Black Flag Army. But the spirit of the war will army can only win one or several battles, can not win a war, in history, no matter how strong the Central Plains is, but in any duel with the northern barbarian cavalry, there has never been a case of annihilation of the other party, there has to be defeated, scattered, defeated, but never annihilated, not the Central Plains soldiers do not contribute, nor the Central Plains soldiers are afraid of death, the cavalry is the real reason, no one can outrun the cavalry, and no one can block the cavalry with flesh and blood.

Therefore, Baili Wuji had to recruit 200,000 new soldiers to enlist, although the combat power of the Ming Black Flag Army was invincible in the Central Plains and Jiangnan, but this does not mean that it can be rampant in the north of the Yellow River, just like a trial battle with Guo Wei, musketeers, Baili Wuji took it as a fist of the special warfare army, and lost nearly thirty percent in this battle, this is still the cavalry of the Central Plains, and the cavalry of the Liao army in the north is not comparable at all, the Liao people are born to be riders, good at controlling war horses, after the collection, there is no need to train at all, it is a cavalry.

Therefore, Baili Wuji has to be on guard, as soon as the war starts, once the veterans of the Black Flag Army are exhausted, it will be a disaster for the Central Plains and Jiangnan, whether it is internal or external troubles, it will shake the foundation of the Ming Kingdom.

Baili Wuji could only pray, hoping that Sun Shixu and the others could weaken the Liao army as much as possible and reduce the pressure on the Ming army.

At this time, Toyotomi Shixu was meeting with the envoy of Yelu Jing who came out of Liaoyang City.

When the war is fought, the peace talks are useless, and the hatred between the two countries has become deep-rooted, and it needs to be cleansed with blood to alleviate it, but the new blood will thicken the newly diluted hatred, and in this way, this is an insoluble situation.

Yelu Jing also did not have the intention of peace talks, he just wanted to temporarily cease the war, buy time for the Liao army in Liaoyang City, and strive for the time for the arrival of reinforcements, and he thought that after dozens of sieges, the Fusang army had lost no less than 50,000 people, and the enemy also needed to rest, which was a truce that the two armies needed together, so Yelu Jing sent a messenger to negotiate, but Yelu Jing knew that he needed a truce more than the Fusang army, because the 40,000 cavalry in the city was indeed not good at defending the city, although relying on the strong city wall of Liaoyang, but now the defenders are less than 20,000 people, And the Fusang military camp tent outside the city was so dense that it was impossible to see how many people there were.

Toyotomi Shixu has never forgotten his mission, although his heart has been filled with unbearable meaning, but the mission is in his body, he will never let go of Liaoyang City in order to cherish the life of the Fusang Army, lose this strong Liaoyang City, the south of the Yalu River is no longer unstoppable Liao Army, and it is no longer realistic to want to come to Yuancheng again, because Liao has entered a state of full conscription.

When a country enters a full-scale war, its mobilization ability cannot be underestimated, and the Liao State is even more so, every man, even including women, is a soldier, which can only be described in four words, all the people are soldiers.

The attack on Liaoyang City cost the lives of no less than 50,000 soldiers of the Fusang Army, and when it came to this, Toyotomi Shixu naturally would not stop easily, the most important thing was that Toyotomi Shixu already knew that there was an emperor of Liao in Liaoyang City surrounded by himself.

When Toyotomi Shixu first learned the news, he was as excited as if he had picked up a treasure, and he knew that if Yelu Jing was captured alive, then the task that he had been carrying for nearly ten years was likely to be completed. (To be continued......)
