"The fifth brother of the emperor led the Wanping camp, escorted the 400,000 taels of silver horse price camp of Taifu Temple to the Yanshan camp, and bought 30,000 military horses"

"The Minister's Decree ......"

Ye Xianggao's work efficiency is very high, early in the morning, Zhu Youzhen, who was still sleeping, received the holy order of the Taifu Temple to adjust the price of horses.

got 400,000 taels of silver for no reason, Zhu Youzhen was still a little happy, but then he turned his head to Lu Wenzhao with peace of mind and said:

"Ask the generals of the Wanping camp to lead the troops to the Taifu Temple to raise the price of the horse silver, and after sending it to the Yanshan camp, they will exchange the honeycomb coal for the horse, and the war horse will be regarded as the horse price silver."

"Humble and ......" Lu Wenzhao was embarrassed, he never thought that His Royal Highness's left hand and right hand were very skillful.

But think about it, too, buy horses with silver taels, and the Beiyu will only use silver taels to buy iron pots and grain, and will not buy their honeycomb coal at all.

However, it is more cost-effective to exchange honeycomb coal directly and then leave the silver taels.

Lu Wenzhao asked someone to go to do errands, while Zhu Youzhen sat in the palace and continued to write his Yanshan textbook.

With the passage of time, the Thirteenth Guards and the Twelfth Battalion, which have been fully staffed, have all been on the right track, and this is even more true on the Yanshan side.

After the division of the land of the guard, the Yanshan station was also tripled, and all the children of military families who were willing to study were recruited.

At this time, the number of Yanshan students has exceeded 30,000, and there are only seven months left before the first phase of Yanshan students go to school.

There was not much time left for Zhu Youzhen, he needed to complete the compilation of the textbook in seven months, and then expand it into the vernacular by the officials, and then re-compile the material for him to see.

After deciding on the teaching materials, he didn't have to worry too much about the rest.

At present, "Yanshan Thought" and "Yanshan Arithmetic" have been written, and Zhu Youjian has determined the teaching materials for the next five years.

It's just a pity that Zhu Youzhen's math is really not very good, and he can barely remember the math of junior high school, and he can't remember it in the future, and he won't do the questions.

However, it is not necessary to use advanced mathematics to train officials and officials.

At present, he is compiling two books, "Yanshan Wuzhi" and "Yanshan Tiangong".

The first book is about the basic knowledge of leading soldiers to fight, especially in the logistics area.

At present, the three books of "Yanshan Thought", "Yanshan Arithmetic", "Yanshan Wuzhi" and "Yanshan Civil Engineering" compiled by craftsmen and officials are compulsory courses for Yanshan students.

As for "Yanshan Tiangong", as well as "Yanshan Medical Equipment" and "Yanshan Economy" that may appear in the future, they are all extended disciplines.

At the beginning of the fourth year of enrollment, officials need to study four compulsory courses: civil engineering, arithmetic, ideology, and economics, as well as a basic copy of "Yanshan Wuzhi", a total of five subjects.

As for the officers, they need to learn various military methods such as ideology, civil engineering, arithmetic, martial arts, and practical exercises.

If you are really not interested in being an official or joining the army, then you can go to study medicine and heavenly work, which are other disciplines of people's livelihood and military studies.

Zhu Youzhen thought about it, he couldn't throw the right and unsuitable people to the local government as officials and join the army.

There are always some people who are not interested in these things, and can even be said to have no ambitions.

When this kind of person is in an emergency, Zhu Youzhen may pull them to be honest officials to fight fires, but they can still conduct academic research normally.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the development of traditional Chinese medicine actually had a complete set of surgical instruments and means, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs to interrupt this process.

What Zhu Youzhen has to do is to let this process continue.

"That's right, Wen Zhao ......"

After writing a paragraph, Zhu Youzhen looked up at Lu Wenzhao and then said to him: "I asked you to check the crude drug storehouse, Anle Hall, pharmacy and good medicine institute of Tai Hospital before, how did the people below check it?" ”

Seeing that His Royal Highness asked about this, Lu Wenzhao also replied:

"Your Highness, it is true that as you said, most of the medical officers in the Tai Hospital are deceitful and famous, and Nanzhen Fusi has already searched for famous doctors in the world, and I believe that they will soon be able to take them to Yanshan Institute, and then improve the "Medical Equipment"."

"Well......" Hearing this, Zhu Youzhen was not surprised.

The imperial physician of the Ming Dynasty was originally hereditary, and things like tiger fathers and dogs and sons happened in all walks of life, and the same was true for the Tai Hospital.

Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao did not use the medical officer of the Tai Hospital, but a medical officer he found in the people.

It's a pity that when Zhu Houzhao went to Jiangnan, he didn't listen to the words of the medical officer and left him in the capital, which led to the deterioration of his condition.

Although Zhu Youzhen is confident in his body, he remains skeptical about Zhu Youxiao's body.

Therefore, he is ready to rectify the Tai Hospital, even if he can't replace all of them, but he must let capable people take the position.

The reason why Jiajing and Wanli lived for a long time was that the former rarely saw a doctor, and the latter found the right person.

I have to say that Wanli's luck was very good, and he found Gong Tingxian and Yang Jishi, who were the four famous doctors of the late Ming Dynasty, to be his imperial doctors, so he ranked among the top in the life of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

But again, Taichang and Apocalypse are a bit unlucky.

Because the two people Wanli said died of illness before he died, one died at the age of ninety-eight and the other at the age of ninety-seven.

Judging by their age, these two people have a hand.

It's just that Zhu Youzhen didn't have such good luck, as soon as these two people died, the rest of the hospital became wine bags and rice bags, so Zhu Youzhen wanted to search for famous doctors in the world.

This kind of famous doctor must not be the kind of fame and reputation, it must have a brush.

Zhu Youzhen didn't want to be like Emperor Hongzhi and die of a cold.

Therefore, he specially explained to Lu Wenzhao: "We must make sure that this person has real medical skills, not a person who sells fame." ”

"Your Highness, please rest assured, I have always been careful that after these famous doctors are selected, they need to cure hundreds of patients before they can enter the Yanshan Institute." Lu Wenzhao responded, making Zhu Youzhen very satisfied.

However, while he was satisfied, he also remembered the matter of the military newspaper, so he got up and walked outside the courtyard, and asked as he walked:

"What happened to the southwest and Liaodong? The old slave is still besieging Shenyang? Does Yu Chongming have any other moves besides making armor? ”

Lu Wenzhao followed Zhu Youzhen's footsteps, walked out of the Qingong Palace, and replied in the East Palace:

"The old slave has been besieging Shenyang these days, but he has transferred troops and horses from Tieling, Kaiyuan, Puhesuo, Fushun and other places, and now there are 70,000 regular soldiers and 30,000 auxiliary soldiers entrenched around Shenyang."

"70,000 regular soldiers, 30,000 auxiliary soldiers......" Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao muttered, and his mind kept calculating.

After a moment, he had an answer in his heart, because such a crazy act of Nurhachi had only happened during the battle of Sarhu.

Such a desperate approach obviously means that there is a huge problem in the logistics within the Houjin, and it is impossible to do nothing after the transfer of troops, if it is to do, then it is to attack the stone fort between Shenyang and Liaoyang.

"How much grain is stored in the four stone forts of Weining Battalion, Wujing Battalion, Wang Dadatun, and Fengji Fort?"

Zhu Youzhen opened his mouth to ask Lu Wenzhao, and Lu Wenzhao memorized all kinds of things in Liaodong every day, so he could naturally write them down, and he responded:

"The Weining Battalion and the Wujing Battalion should have 100,000 stone and 80,000 stone military rations respectively, and the people's grain is not known, but Wang Datun and Fengji Fort have 170,000 stone and 150,000 stone of grain."

"So, all of them add up, it's about 500,000 stones?" Zhu Youzhen asked rhetorically, while Lu Wenzhao nodded.

After he nodded, Zhu Youzhen's brows did not stretch, but asked Lu Wenzhao:

"The above four forts, plus the captured Shendan Stone Fort, and the cultivated fields outside Shenyang City, how many acres of land are there in these places?"

"Let's say there are two or three million acres ......," Lu Wenzhao replied subconsciously, and then realized that something was wrong, and suddenly realized:

"Could it be that His Highness thinks that Nurhachi is preparing to harvest grain during the autumn harvest and return to New Sarhu City?"

"Not necessarily!" Zhu Youzhen turned back and returned to the Qingong Palace.

Lu Wenzhao and the other Jinyi guards followed, and even trotted back, hanging the map of Liaodong behind their desks.

When Zhu Youzhen walked into the study and looked at the map of Liaodong, he replied to Lu Wenzhao's question:

"With the grain output of Liaodong, three million mu can probably produce about 2.3 million stone of grain, even if the auxiliary soldiers under the command of Nurhachi do not take care of the fields, the output can be 15.6 million stone."

"Even if you don't produce grain, you can cut the grass for the military horses to eat."

"With this batch of grain and grass, Nurhachi will be able to besiege Shenyang for one more year!"

"At the moment, Nurhachi is deploying 30,000 auxiliary troops, obviously to prepare for harvesting grain, and it is impossible for 70,000 regular soldiers to storm Shenyang, so they will target those four stone forts."

"Five or six hundred thousand stone grain, enough for the army of old slaves to eat for eight or nine months."

Speaking of which, Zhu Youzhen knew the danger of the matter, and also knew one thing.

Houjin's food is insufficient, so at this time it is inevitable to buy food from foreign aid, and at present, Houjin's foreign aid is only the Engdal Department of Inner Khalkha!

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen looked sideways at Lu Wenzhao and instructed him:

"Tell Li Ruolian to send people to the barbarians to do business, especially the tribes of Engdel, and the old slaves may trade cattle and sheep with them."

"As soon as there is news, inform me immediately, and you can't let this batch of cattle and sheep go into Nurhachi's hands."

"In addition, adjust Shenwu, Lu Long's two guards, Tiance, and Yulinwei to change their guards, and you send someone to tell the imperial brother...... No, you go in person. ”

"By the way, I asked Cheng En to bring all the military horses and horses that the Imperial Horse Supervisor had exchanged during this time to Yulinkou in Yongping, and then ordered him to transport 6,000 buckets of military rations, 1,000 catties of military salt, 100 catties of coarse cloth and 3,000 catties of dried vegetables, and send them to Yulinkou together."

"Bring all the horsemen of the Imperial Horse Guard, and bring the gunpowder and bullets as well, so that the artillery will not be necessary."

"This battle is inevitable, Li Ruolian's people must be fast, and I will get news from Engdel within five days."

"Humble command!" Hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, Lu Wenzhao's mood became heavy.

He wasn't worried about whether Yulin and Tiancewei could fight, after all, Yulinwei and Tiancewei had 6,000 veterans, which was the most compatible among the current armies.

And now, Lu Longwei and Shenwu are stationed in Lulong and Yulinkou respectively, and replacing them is equivalent to ambushing more than 10,000 cavalry in Yongping Mansion.

As long as the situation is not right, the army can get out of the pass in two hours, and in the case of one man and three horses, it can be killed in front of Engdel in seven days.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen didn't care about seeing Zhu Youxiao's wedding, so he could only explain one sentence to Lu Wenzhao:

"Go and spread the word, remember to send a fast horse again, hurry up and let Man Gui prepare 30,000 stone beans and 120,000 grass bundles in Yongping, let Shenwuwei and Lu Longwei wait, once I lead Tiancewei and Yulinwei to arrive, he will immediately lead the troops to set off."

"Are you in such a hurry?" Lu Wenzhao didn't expect His Royal Highness to be in such a hurry, you must know that when tens of thousands of cavalry were transferred out of the fortress, a big battle of this scale had not occurred for a long time.

Even if the Yanshan battalion had prepared military rations in advance, which could meet the needs of tens of thousands of people at any time, such a speed was still somewhat unheard of.

"It's urgent!" Zhu Youzhen frowned, and said to a eunuch next to him: "Pack your bags, notify Tiance and Yulin two guards, and set off in two hours." ”

"The slave and maid took the order...... "The eunuch immediately went to call someone to pass the word, and went to help Zhu Youzhen pack his things.

Lu Wenzhao also went to the Qianqing Palace in person, only Zhu Youzhen stood in the study, frowning and looking at the map.

After a while, there was a sound of hurried footsteps behind him, and then the eunuch at the door immediately sang: "Long live......

Hearing these two words, Zhu Youjian turned around, and sure enough, he saw Zhu Youxiao who walked into the Qingong Palace.

"Get out of here, all of you."

"Obey ......"

As soon as Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, all the eunuchs and palace maids retreated, and only he and Zhu Youzhen were left in the entire Miaoqin Palace.

There was no way, seeing this situation, Zhu Youzhen could only move the chair by himself, and Zhu Youxiao also sat in the main seat, waving his hand and grabbing his sleeves, leaning on the armrest of the chair with his elbow, and said with a frowning expression:

"Let's talk about it, what is the big deal, so that you don't even participate in my wedding."

"This ......" Zhu Youzhen smiled bitterly, then sat on the chair he brought and said:

"The old slave probably wants to continue the siege for now......"

After that, Zhu Youzhen told all his analysis, including Nurhachi's troops, as well as harvesting grain outside the city, preparing to besiege the city for a year, and so on.

Eventually, he said that Nurhachi might have sent people to Nekharkha to buy cattle and sheep to ensure that they would survive until the grain harvest.

"That's why the younger brother is ready to go to Yongping Mansion, and prepare to let the two cavalry armies of Mangui Lingtian Cewei and Yulinwei go out of the fortress, bypass the Liaoxi Corridor, and directly attack Engdel, who is a thousand miles away."

When he said this, Zhu Youzhen also said helplessly:

"If the old slaves get the cattle and sheep of Nekhalkha, I am afraid they will be able to harvest the grain and grass outside the city with peace of mind."

"And another reason why the younger brother sent troops out of the fortress is that, according to the time, when the old slave knows that the army has exterminated the Engdel Department, Sun Yingyuan should also lead the troops to land in Zhenjiang and prepare to go north to Kuandian."

"This will create an illusion for the old slave that the strength of the Seven Guards is the same as that of the two guards who exterminated Engdel, thinking that our Korean Preparatory Army will divide the troops into three ways to exterminate the Jianyu."

When Zhu Youzhen said this, he stood up, pointed to the map with a thin wooden stick, and explained to Zhu Youxiao:

"The tribe of Engdal was in the lower reaches of the Laoha River in the north of Yizhou Station in the Yongle period, close to Horqin in the north, fried flowers in the south, Zaisai and several others in the southeast."

"At present, Zaisai's tribe was defeated by the old slave and he was also arrested, so the troops moved to Liaoze in the south, so as long as Engeder was defeated, he could raise troops to the east and go straight to Kaiyuan!"

"At the same time, the imperial brother can issue an order to order Xiong Tingbi and Qi Jin to make a sheep attack and prepare military rations, so that the Jianyu spies in Guangning and Liaoyang mistakenly think that the soldiers and horses in the two places are going to support Shenyang."

"At this time, Sun Yingyuan's Seven Guards and 20,000 auxiliaries will also go north, so it will create the illusion that 110,000 soldiers and horses are about to go north to aid Liao."

"This time it is not as good as Salhu, the battlefield has become larger, and the strategic depth has also become larger, except for Sun Yingyuan's troops who need to march in the mountains, the other troops will march on the plains and hills at that time, and each division will be hundreds of miles away, and there will be no chance for the old slave to be defeated one by one."

"Once these illusions are formed, the old slave will definitely not dare to harvest the grain of Shenyang, and will immediately return to the three cities of Kaiyuan, Tieling and Hetuala!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Youzhen breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly:

"The subordinate brother estimates that Jianyu's men and horses are about to arrive at the pastures of Engdel, but it may take them ten days and half a month to raise cattle and sheep, so there is still time to send troops."

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

"If you delay any longer, you really won't be able to send troops......"

As soon as Zhu Youzhen said this, Zhu Youxiao's frowning brows relaxed.

Even if he didn't understand the words of strategic depth, he knew that from Kaiyuan to Hetuala, there were more than three hundred miles in total.

From Kaiyuan to Kuandian, more than 600 li, it is impossible for Nurhachi to defeat several troops in a row like last time.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao sighed: "Since that's the case, let's go, it's a pity that my younger brother can't see my wedding with his own eyes." ”

"Maybe Man Gui will be able to capture Engdel alive." Zhu Youzhen also laughed.

"Man Gui can go, but you can't go, brother." Zhu Youxiao suddenly said with a face:

"Brother, don't be angry for a while, and lead the troops out of the fortress by yourself."

"I'm like this, I'm afraid it's a burden to go to the battlefield......" Zhu Youzhen gestured to himself with a wry smile.

It is true that although Zhu Youzhen has grown a lot taller in the past four months because of exercise and good food, it is only five feet and one inch, which is equivalent to one meter and six three in later generations.

With such a height, coupled with the strength that he can barely pull the three-force bow for a full moon, it is indeed a bit cumbersome to go to the battlefield.

He knew very well that he would naturally not do anything like leading a soldier at the age of eleven.

"That's fine...... Zhu Youxiao sighed, then waved his hand and said:

"Since that's the case, let's go, it's nearly four hundred miles from here to Lulong County, and I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up without three days."

"Brother, don't worry, you can rush to Lulong County in two days at most!" Zhu Youzhen was stunned, and then said with a smile:

"Then I wish my brother a happy wedding in advance!"

"What's the use of Hexi at this time?" Zhu Youxiao looked disgusted, and walked towards the outside of the palace.

Zhu Youzhen also followed, ready to send Zhu Youxiao out of the East Palace, but as soon as the two walked to the door, Zhu Youxiao said to Wei Zhongxian, who was standing at the door:

"Draft the decree and canonize the fifth brother of the emperor from the inspection as the king of Qi, Fengjing as a vassal, acting as the governor of the imperial horse superintendent, the sixteen guards of the Shangzhi, and the twelve arch guard camps of the Shangzhi."

"King Qi Chitose!" Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian was the first to react and congratulated Zhu Youzhen, and Lu Wenzhao and others also sang congratulatory gifts.

Zhu Youzhen didn't react yet, so he could only look at Zhu Youxiao, and Zhu Youxiao also said helplessly:

"Many princes, the King of Han, the King of Wei, and the King of Liang have a bad meaning in our dynasty, and Xinyang is too small, so thinking about it, it seems that it is really the King of Qi who is more in line with his younger brother, and the ancient soldier is only the King of Qi Han Xin."

"How can the subordinate brother He De be compared with the soldiers......" Zhu Youzhen was embarrassed, as far as his three-legged cat's kung fu was not as good as Dong Fei and Sima Xin, who were defeated by Han Xin, it is estimated that the generals under Han Xin can beat him.

But even though he said that, Zhu Youzhen was still a little unconvinced.

He is only eleven years old, give him a few years of experience, he will also catch up with those ancient famous generals step by step, the so-called famous generals are not more battles, more wins, right? Then you will lay down a big territory yourself!

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but sigh secretly, this year is really an eventful autumn.

I only hope that after surviving this year, I can give him a stable few years to change the law to Daming.

"Let's go......"

When Zhu Youxiao's voice sounded again, and when Zhu Youzhen came back to his senses, he had already sat on the chariot, and the eight eunuchs also raised their chariots.

"Brother cherishes, don't get too close to the frontier."

Before leaving, Zhu Youxiao was still very worried about explaining, and even said to Lu Wenzhao because he was not at ease:

"Lu Wenzhao, you follow King Qi to Lulong County, remember to protect King Qi."

"The minister swears to protect the safety of His Royal Highness King Qi!" Lu Wenzhao knelt down on one knee and sang loudly.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao wanted to speak and stopped, afraid that he would talk too much and delay the hour, so he held back a thousand words in his heart, and finally sighed before waving his hand to return to the Qianqing Palace.

Looking at the back of Zhu Youxiao's departure, Zhu Youzhen was also a little reluctant, but finally turned to look at Lu Wenzhao.

At this moment, he was unspeakably expensive, and he took out the momentum of being a prince, and said to Lu Wenzhao:

"Set off in two hours, you personally go to Tiance and Yulinwei, let them feed the military horses, and then transfer Long Xiangwei's military horses to them, so that you should be able to have one person and two horses."

"Five days later, the army will leave the fortress and go to Lulong first."

"Humble command!" Lu Wenzhao returned the salute, and Zhu Youzhen also walked back to his study.

After Lu Wenzhao left, he personally went to the celebrant and got Zhu Youzhen as the king of Qi, and after Tiance and Yu Linwei's holy decree on the transfer of troops, he hurriedly rushed to Tiance and Yu Linwei outside the city to announce the decree.

For the veterans who have been training for more than half a year, they are waiting to cut off a few northern captives, and for some new soldiers who have been in the army for less than three months, they are very dazed and even uneasy.

Immediately afterward, each of them was given 30 catties of dried beans, and then they were arranged to feed the horses.

At the same time, some veterans also came to do psychological work for them, mainly to make it clear that their own armor and stomach are excellent, and most of the northern captives are leather armor, and they are vulnerable.

Subsequently, Long Xiangwei in the north brought their 6,000 military horses to Tiance and Yulinwei, making them barely reach the level of one person and two horses.

Two hours later, Zhu Youzhen rode his horse out of the city, and in the afternoon, ten miles outside the Anding Gate, he saw the two guards and soldiers who put their armor on the back of the horse and led the two military horses, as well as the commander and the thousand households standing in front of them.

Before riding the horse, Zhu Youzhen was wearing a round-necked robe and said to the soldiers in the front row:

"The battle situation is urgent, and there is not enough time to issue silver to the soldiers, but in this battle, as long as you behead the northern captives at the first level, you will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver!"

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”

After receiving the promise of the reward, the soldiers in the front row shouted one after another, although the soldiers in the back did not understand what their "Fifth Highness" said, but they also shouted.

Looking at the tens of thousands of cavalry in front of him, Zhu Youzhen had countless feelings in his heart that he wanted to express for a while, but in the end he chose two simple words:

"Let's go!"
