Chapter 45: The Two Metropolitan Divisions

"Chen Li Yutian took the order."

"Minister Wu Sangui took the order."

On the third day after the night battle in Jinzhou, Wang Chengen brought the newly formed 10,000 Yulin Right Guard New Army, which was divided into the middle of the camp and was announcing the decree.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: Liaodong Governor Li Yutian, Ningyuan General Wu Sangui Ping thief, broken the capture of meritorious, Feng Li Yutian as the commander of the Western Liaoxi Commander and the Governor of Jiliao, in charge of the people of Liaoxi and Gyeonggi. The jurisdiction of the capital division starts from Shanhaiguan in the south, reaches the Daling River in the north, reaches the Bohai Sea in the east, and reaches the upper reaches of the Daling River and Daning City in the west. ”

Li Yutian was extremely nervous in his heart, he didn't care about what Liaoxi commanded the envoys, nor did he care about the governor of Jiliao, he had been waiting for his title.

"Feng Wu Sangui is the commander of Liaodong, in charge of Liaodong, and the jurisdiction of the capital is from the Daling River in the south, to Kaiyuan City in the north, to the Yalu River in the east, and to the Liaodong Peninsula in the south."

Li Yutian heard the holy decree talk about Wu Sangui, but he still didn't mention his title, and his heart suddenly felt cold.

Wu Sangui suddenly felt nervous when he heard that Li Yutian had been promoted to the commander of the Western Liaoning Metropolitan and concurrently served as the governor of Jiliao.

Now that the Ming Dynasty's foreign war is concentrated in Ningyuan and Jinzhou, and Li Yutian is arranged in the Ningjin defense line, will he be dismissed?

"Does the Holy One not trust me in his heart?"

Wu Sangui's heart was desolate, and he suddenly heard his name, and heard that he had been promoted to the commander of the Liaodong Metropolitan Mission. The five-flavor bottle in my heart was even more overturned.

Li Yutian's Liaoxi Prefecture, although most of the area was not in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, at least controlled Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan, and Jinzhou was also taken immediately.

The western side, including Daning, is the territory of the Karaqin Mongols, and with the current armament, it should not be difficult to defeat it in three or five years.

If it is consolidated, the capital of Liaoxi is the northern part of the Ming Dynasty! Especially as a barrier on the north side of Jingshi, the importance of Li Yutian is self-evident.

However, Wu Sangui's own Liaodong Prefecture has nothing to do with today's Ming Dynasty, and it is all the territory of Jianyu.

This reward is to be won by yourself.

“…… Before appointing the political envoy and the probationary envoy, the capital commander will perform his duties on his behalf! Chin this! ”

After the holy decree was read, Li Yutian, who was wow-wah-cool, and Wu Sangui, who was bitter, received the edict and thanked him.

After completing the ceremony, Wang Chengen smiled and walked over to say hello to the two capitals.

Li Yutian and Wu Sangui flattered each other with a smile on their faces, and then set up a banquet to thank the new Dongchang factory governor.

After the meal, all the military attaches and guards went away with their duties, and only the three of them were left in the military tent.

Wang Chengen is right, and the saint still has an oracle.

Li Yutian and Wu Sangui quickly knelt down when they heard this.

"In the letter, the eldest uncle, I know the hardships of the expedition. originally wanted to reward the two as marquises, but he was suffering from the fact that Qing did not have the merit to expand the territory. I had to wait for Aiqing to conquer the jurisdiction of the capital, and then seal it, so as to avoid criticism from the world. ”

Li Yutian was overjoyed when he heard it, the emperor still thinks about me, it's really a saint! pulled Wu Sangui and kowtowed again.

"Rise up, both of you. We're going to introduce one of the two adults. ”

"Oh? Who wants the factory supervisor to introduce in person. ”

"Hehe, dog, it's a dog!" Wang Chengen replied with a smile.

Li Yutian looked confused. Dogs? Can you have a baby as a eunuch? Think about it, but you can't say it.

"Hehe, my cousin has five sons in the family, and he will pass on the little five Wang Defa to our knees."

Li Yutian listened with an epiphany on his face.

Wang Chengen still smiled, "The saint cherishes his ministers, and personally named the dog as the deputy general of the Yulin Right Guard." This child thanks to the emperor's grace, although he is enthusiastic, but he is young and ignorant, how can he go into battle to kill the enemy, in the future, please also ask the two of them to carry out! ”

"The saint has sealed it, there must be great talents, and we should use it for ourselves, right, Ping Xibo." Li Yutian patted his chest and promised.

"Exactly. Precisely. Wu Sangui replied curtly. In his mind, there was no emperor who was personally appointed as a deputy general, and it was all full of Liaodong Metropolitan Division.

"It's hard to destroy Jianyu! The emperor opened his mouth, and I, Wu Sangui, broke my leg! ”

On the same day, Yulin's right guard was arranged in various parts of the camp to enrich the encirclement.

These are newly recruited soldiers who have little combat experience, so they can only practice and run errands at the same time.

Although Yulin Right Guard had its own system, Wu Sangui temporarily disrupted its system, and the difference was everywhere.

At the same time, each recruit was assigned a master, one-on-one teaching and training.

In order to quickly grow into a warrior in his own right.

In the barracks, everyone heard that 10,000 new soldiers had been reinforced, which boosted morale considerably.

After all, in this era of warfare, the number of soldiers is an extremely important factor.

The soldiers who had been holding on for more than half a month saw the recruits coming in the dust, and there was still excitement and novelty on their faces, and they had an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

The one who came to work as a coolie was kind.

As cannon fodder, it is even more kind.

The siege is about to begin, and if the recruits don't come, who will rush to the front line in the end!

……

The three Mongolian soldiers and horses, after the night battle, lost nearly half of the horses, afraid of the strange crossbow arrows of the Ming army, did not dare to force the attack, but just wandered around, looking for fighters.

Today, the scouts found out that the Ming army had a new army, with 10,000 people, and the prince of the three tribes was even more frightened, and he no longer dared to stay near Jinzhou.

On the one hand, he sent people back to the tribe to ask for reinforcements, and on the other hand, he sent people to Shengjing to report the situation in Jinzhou City and ask for support for grain and grass.

Due to the large strength of the Ming army, at the suggestion of Prince Duanluobu, 40,000 Mongol troops bypassed Jinzhou and went north.

In the northeast of Jinzhou, on the west bank of the Daling River at the southern end of Yiwu Lu Mountain, he was stationed.

Backed by the river, the water and grass are abundant, and it is a good place to recuperate. What's more, the north, west, and south sides are smooth, which is most suitable for cavalry galloping.

In particular, the battle in Jinzhou can be monitored here at all times, and once Wu Sangui has a change, they can take corresponding actions without worrying too much about the attack of the Ming reinforcements.

It can be said that the enemy moves and I move, the enemy comes and I fight, and the enemy runs away.

The three princes expected that Wu Sangui would not attack the city for the time being, and they would not act until reinforcements from the grassland or Shengjing arrived.

……

After Zhu Youjian arranged the top-level design, he entrusted the military and political affairs of the Huanghuaihai region to Li Banghua and Gao Yiwu, the first general manager of Wen Yiwu, and he went to the Northern Expedition despite public opinion.

Before the expedition, he personally promoted more than a dozen civil and military officials to assist Li and Gao, and it was also a kind of checks and balances.

There is no way, when you reach the position of the emperor, you can't distrust your ministers, and you can't trust them all.

If it weren't for the officialdom novels and TV series that later generations watched, Zhu Youjian might not be able to effectively deal with the deceit and interest disputes in the officialdom.

At the local level, there were more than 100,000 peasant soldiers who enthusiastically joined the army because of the land allocation, but they had little combat strength.

At present, most of them are arranged in local cities, and while enriching the local armed forces, they are also practicing diligently.

For the sake of their whole family and their fields, the recruits did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and they all studied hard and practiced hard.

The people of the Ming Dynasty, who had been distributed cultivated land and seeds through the agrarian revolution, smiled happily and began to sow seeds one after another. In the past few months, there has been a lot of fighting, and many places have missed the planting of spring wheat. But crops such as sorghum, millet, soybeans and more can be sown in May.

The land of North China is busy.

Zhu Youjian led the army all the way north, and he was very pleased to see the busy farming scene along the way, the Chinese nation is always so optimistic and hardworking.
