"The Nanjing Forbidden Army in Jiangnan is coming to our Liaodong?" Li Xiao's eyes widened, thinking that he had misheard.

Mao Wenlong came back from the capital, in addition to bringing back 60,000 displaced people. And brought back such shocking news!

"That's what the military department said, because the old man is in the capital. So the military department was directly transferred to the old man! Mao Wenlong smoked a cigarette and shook his meticulously combed beard.

"It's the middle of August, even if it's an eight-hundred-mile rush. It was almost September when I arrived in Nanjing, and the Nanjing Forbidden Army needed to prepare heavy grain. After all, it will have to go to Liaodong around November. "Sun Chengzong knows the efficiency of the imperial court very well, and even if the Nanjing Forbidden Army is coming, it is impossible to arrive in two or three months.

"I didn't say who would supply the grain, straw and silver, but there is no way to ask for us!" Ao Canghai let out a puff of smoke, and said angrily.

"It's all from the military department, and it has nothing to do with us. When you come to our territory, you still want us to keep it. There is no door, and as soon as Cui Shangshu mentioned it in the Ministry of War, the old man pushed back. Being an old man, this Jiliao Inspector, is in vain! "The official position is bigger, and Mao Wenlong's temper has also begun to rise. When he was in Phi Dao, he didn't dare to talk to Ao Ye like this.

"If it's not in vain, who knows ......!" Ao Ye didn't even glance at Mao Wenlong.

"You're ......!" Mao Wenlong almost choked to death, but he really didn't have the slightest way to take Ao Canghai. In addition to sulking, it is still sulking.

"The court has begun to guard against us, what do you say?" Sun Chengzong didn't care about Ao Canghai and Mao Wenlong's bickering, rubbing the cigarette in his hand and looking at Li Xiao.

"The imperial court does not trust military generals, and this has been a matter of many years. In fact, it's not bad to have Wei Zhongxian, at least we can develop well for a few years.

Unexpectedly, Cui Chengxiu's nose was as smart as a dog. Transfer the Nanjing Forbidden Army in the south of the Yangtze River, then let them come. When the time comes, send them to the Daling River and fight the Tartars to fuck them. I heard that the Tartars formed a Han army of eight banners composed of Han people, using firearms provided by red-haired ghosts.

They also drummed up a kind of cannonball, very similar to our flowering shell. Let them explore the truth and the truth, and the hands of the Tartars are not us. Yuan Chonghuan said lightly.

This guy is a cautious eye in his bones, and he still belongs to the kind of extremely cautious eye. Character determines fate, and to some extent, Yuan Chonghuan was ruined by this kind of careful eye.

"Humph! Do you think the Nanjing Forbidden Army is a soft persimmon? They bought a large number of guns and artillery from the Franc Robot, and heard that there were also Franc Robots to teach. You also know the commander of the army, it is the Shi Kefa who stuck to the city wall of Jinzhou last year. In addition, Wang Tiqian asked me to bring a message to Brother Xiao'er, long live. Don't make the Jiangnan Forbidden Army too ugly! Mao Wenlong has been in the capital for a few days, and it seems that he has not been idle.

"Scofa? Is it the head of the military department who will not retreat at that critical juncture? Hearing Shi Kefa's name, Yuan Chonghuan's eyes widened. Last winter, he was very impressed by this civil official with only six grades.

At that time, the southern city had almost fallen, and Shi Kefa actually led a team of soldiers to hold the city wall. If it weren't for the timely support of Li Xiu's battleship's artillery fire, it is estimated that he would have died a heroic martyr. It is really rare for a civil official to have such a hard bone, looking at the Ming Dynasty.

"Yes, it's that Scofa. His teacher is Zuo Guangdou, and he was kicked to Nanjing by Cui Chengxiu as soon as he returned from Jinzhou. I didn't expect to be reused by Ma Shiying, so I learned the use of firearms from us, and we have the financial support of the rich people in Jiangnan. It is not difficult to get an army of firearms. This is a ruthless man!

But the old man couldn't figure it out, why did they have to come to Liaodong to wade through this muddy water when they stayed well in a good place like Jiangnan. Mao Wenlong can't understand why the Nanjing Forbidden Army came to Liaodong. It stands to reason that Liaodong is a place with a great reputation. The generals are definitely staying away!

"They want to train their troops, and they want to let the newly formed Nanjing Forbidden Army see blood. See what the real battlefield is! Li Xiao extinguished the cigarette in his hand, it seems that this Shi Kefa really has a lot of ambition. Sure enough, the people who left their names in history are not simple people.

"If you see blood, let them see it. Lao Yuan was right, throw it to the Daling River and let them fight with the Tartars. I want to see how good they are. Man Gui came and said with a big grin.

"Da Ling River! Mr. Sun, what do you think? Sun Chengzong that Li Xiao looked at.

"Da Ling River can't do it, if it is really surrounded by Tartars. Still not to be wiped out? Long live since they have words, no matter what, they can't be left without a mouth. I think it's good to let them go to Xiongyue City, Xiongyue City Liguanzhen is close to the sea. Further on is the territory of the Tartars!

Let them with the Tartars, if it really doesn't work. It is feasible for us to provide artillery support at sea or to evacuate people by sea.

Besides, the 50,000 people that Lao Mao brought back, you have to settle them. For the time being, these guys should not be placed near Jinzhou, and it is better to be placed in southern Liaoning.

It was ravaged by the Tartars for many years, and many villages were abandoned when the Tartars retreated. The farmland is also barren, and most of the land there is ripe. It doesn't take much effort to reclaim it. What kind of collective farm you mentioned is a good way, you can try it out with them. ”

"Kumayue City ......!" It was Li Xiao's hometown, when Sun Chengzong said. Li Xiao thought of the three tombs on the hillside of Ivory Village!

Now Li Xiao's territory was divided into two pieces by Houjin, one was from the Yalu River to Lushun, and could stretch north to the coast of the Liao River estuary.

The other piece is the famous Guanning Jin defense line. Li Xiao's territory has a characteristic, that is, it is all close to the sea.

The Jurchen Tartar cavalry was extremely fierce, but there was no navy in their army. And what Li Xiao is powerful now is the navy equipped with advanced artillery.

The Dutch wanted to help Houjin build a ship, and after they were full-fledged, they would go to sea to fight with Li Xiao. But with Li Yongfang, a super traitor, Houjin's shipyard only needs to be established. In a few days, it will be ravaged by Li Xiu's gunboats.

Continuing with the current situation, the Jurchens wanted to have a fleet. I'm afraid I'll have to wait until the sky is old!

The two sides were in a stalemate, and Li Xiao did not have enough troops to deal with the powerful cavalry of the Jurchens. The Jurchens can't do anything about a fortified city like Jinzhou!

After all, war horses can't fly on the city wall!

As for southern Liaoning, it was given up voluntarily because of the huge losses of Zhenghongqi in the Battle of Jinzhou.

Li Xiao is not afraid of stalemate, and what restricts Li Xiao now is financial resources. As long as there is enough money, he can develop troops from division to division.

When the number of his troops is almost the same as that of Houjin, it will not be a big problem to recover Shenyang and Liaoyang. According to the current development trend, it will be almost realized in another three to five years.

Nurhachi actually can't afford it, and the grade of Houjin is too low in terms of firearms. Over time, the numerical advantage will also be lost. After all, the population of the Ming Dynasty is as large as the stars in the sky. And then Jin, the flag people are only the 200,000. plus the looted Han Chinese, it is only a few hundred thousand people.

Since time is on Li Xiao's side, Li Xiao is not in a hurry at all. Taking root and developing production is Li Xiao's top priority now.

Nurhachi and his sons will not be able to do it, if Li Xiao is not dealt with as soon as possible. In the future, he will be driven back to Changbai Mountain, and he will be used to a good life. Who wants to go to the mountains and live that kind of fishing and hunting life.

Therefore, it has always been Houjin who is attacking. Li Xiao is playing with his life's defense!

I have to say that Sun Chengzong's selection of points is very accurate, as long as Li Guanzhen is stuck. You can card the main Tartar's passage south to Lushun! If the Tartars want to cut off half of Li Xiao's arm, they must take Li Guanzhen.

Nurhachi, who had been bleeding in Jinzhou, is likely to target Liaonan, which is relatively weak and has no strong fortifications, this year.

"Hmmm! I also think that Liguan is a good place, and the place in southern Liaoning is very big now. When the Tartars were leaving, they basically moved everyone away. Not to mention 50,000 people, I think 500,000 people can be stuffed into it. "Mangui's First Cavalry Division was stationed in southern Liaoning, and he was quite familiar with the situation there.

"Then follow last year's method, first build a shack thatched house. We will provide the grain, and the firewood will go to the mountains to fetch it ourselves. Bring all those displaced people to Jinzhou, organize them to burn more bricks, and build houses in the coming year.

Merit candidates were selected from among the existing magistrates to serve in the Golden State. Master Man, your second cavalry division, is responsible for the bullet pressure place. Those homeless people are used to being loose, and now they are prone to trouble when they are controlled. If you encounter trouble, you don't have to be soft. If you don't kill a batch, it's not enough to deter. Li Xiao's last words were cold, and everyone heard them. Man Gui has received a sword from Shang Fang!

"Got it!" Man Gui didn't have much excitement. He likes the battlefield of cavalry slashing, and slaughtering those skinny homeless people in the place of bullets, but he can't arouse his killing intent.

"The court is starting to play tricks on us, but don't be afraid. If you want to stabilize the situation in Liaodong, you have to rely on our masters to support you. What is the Nanjing Forbidden Army, even if the three battalions of the Beijing Division are coming. If we can pass the Tartars, we will also give way.

Hurry up and train and keep your hands cleansed. Personnel in and out, all must have a way to lead. As long as the spy is caught, he will be killed after the interrogation. Especially the traitors who cut their eggs and gave them to the Jurchen Tartars as internal traitors and betrayed their ancestors, they must be punished canonically.

Isn't there a punishment in the imperial court? In the future, if traitors are caught, they will be taken to the outside of the city alive after interrogation, and their bodies will not be collected after they are devoured by wild dogs. ”

"No!" After Li Xiao finished speaking, the generals stood up and promised in unison.

"Brother Xiao! Long live this punishment review, you ...... The officials will be impeached. Mao Wenlong was a little uneasy when he heard Li Xiao's words.

"That's it, I'm still afraid of impeachment?"
