Anyway, about Liu Aita, although Zhu Youxiao has a memory, he is not very sure. In order not to affect the normal actions of the Ming army as much as possible, he did not notify Liaozhen except for the relevant troops.

However, Liaozhen mainly advanced eastward on land, and it was faster and more convenient to respond to Liu Aita's anyway and contain the attack on Jiannu, so it was better to rely more on the three towns of Deng, Tianjin, and Dongjiang by sea.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, it is enough to have these three towns, and there is no need to be too excited.

Therefore, Xiong Tingbi didn't know these inside information, but just moved forward steadily according to the previous plan, striving to recover Guangning this year.

Guangning and other places were abandoned last year, although it was the emperor's arrangement, but the executor was Xiong Tingbi, which was equivalent to losing his teacher and land, which could not help but make him angry.

What is lost from one's own hands, of course, must be recovered by oneself. The sooner you recover, the sooner you can solve the entanglements in your heart.

But Xiong Tingbi's steady and spicy old man did not rush forward because he was in a hurry, the more he advanced, the longer the supply line stretched, and the more he had to prevent Jiannu's attack and interception, or encircle the point to send reinforcements.

Because of the new artillery and the fortifications of the chest wall of the trenches, Dalinghe City and Jinzhou were not afraid of Jiannu coming to besiege them.

However, the supply of artillery will be tilted towards Dongjiang Town in the next few months, and if Liao Town moves forward and relies on the stronghold to hold on, it will lack a sharp weapon, which cannot completely reassure Xiong Tingbi.

After the strategic contraction, the Ming army only needed a total of about 30,000 men and horses, and it could hold Ningyuan and Juehua with the help of the fortified city and the sea.

And to advance a few hundred miles, the key points along the way must be garrisoned to protect the safety of the supply line, and 30,000 troops will definitely not be enough.

According to the plan of the Ministry of War, 15,000 people will be drawn from the defenders of Shanhaiguan to enter Liaodong to participate in the war.

According to Xiong Tingbi's adjusted arrangement, the garrison of Ningyuan was set at 8,000 people, Juehua 3,000, Jinzhou 4,000, and the two cities of Linghe and Linghe were 3,000 and 2,000 respectively.

In this way, Liaozhen plus the cavalry will still have nearly 30,000 troops, and it is also somewhat certain to advance to Youweitun and even Guangning.

Of course, this is only a little certain, and in Xiong Tingbi's opinion, it is still not enough. Mainly after advancing forward, the area to the north is the Mongol tribes, which is very unreassuring to him.

For example, if Yixian County cannot hold on firmly, Jiannu may go south from this gap and go straight to Jinzhou and Xiaoling River, which is equivalent to stabbing the Ming army in the waist along the long front.

Counting on the Mongol tribes, mainly the Khalkha tribes, to block the construction of the serfs? Not only Xiong Tingbi, but even Zhu Youxiao, who was far away in Beijing, felt that it was too unreliable.

Therefore, Xiong Tingbi was not in a hurry to move forward for the time being, and the emperor also agreed with his concerns in his secret reply.

But this was only temporary, and the emperor told Xiong Tingbi that at most by autumn, the Beijing camp would send at least 20,000 cavalry into Liao to participate in the battle.

The 20,000 cavalry will not only be equipped with some artillery, but also be able to compete with Jiannu in field battles. The confident tone made Xiong Tingbi a little suspicious.

Of course, he didn't know what kind of cavalry the emperor was training, and it would only be more than a year in the autumn, and he could face the Jiannu who was born in fishing and hunting?

But judging from the emperor's consistent words and deeds, there are almost no things to brag about, but he does what he says, and what he says is basically realized.

Moreover, the emperor is obviously moving his real character. Many officers who are proficient in cavalry warfare have been successively transferred from various military towns, and there are Yang Guozhu, Huang Degong, Ma Wu and others in Liao Town alone.

Not only that, Xiong Tingbi also saw the emperor's hidden scheming.

Only trained in the Beijing Division, not promoted to the military town, this is to suddenly make a move, and beat Jiannu to a rhythm of falling flowers!

The Emperor - it's sinister!

As soon as he thought of these two words, Xiong Tingbi quickly closed his mouth. Great disrespect, slander the king.

……………………

Am I insidious? Well, Zhu Youxiao shook his head, just a little bad water.

Luo Si bowed solemnly, waiting for the emperor's decision.

This plan was proposed by the emperor and was perfected and implemented by the Department of Suppression.

Luo Sigong felt that the plan would not have much impact on Jiannu, but it was only from the current situation, who knows if it would play a big role in the future?

Since the emperor wants to play, this is not a big deal, so it is good to make the emperor happy!

After a long time, Zhu Youxiao put down the plan and smiled on his face, "Okay, Luo Qing has done a good job." Then send someone to send Nala Zhongming to Phi Island, and those few Zhenyi who surrendered, so come with him! ”

It doesn't matter who Nala's original surname is. As long as you know his current identity, he is the commander of the Jianzhou Guard of the Ming Dynasty.

Speaking of the Jurchens, according to the "Dongyi Kaolu", there should be three kinds: from the east of the Tang Station, to the Kaiyuan, and those who live in the west of the sea are the women of the west of the Haixi; Those who live in Jianzhou and are merciful are Jianzhou women; The extreme east is a savage woman.

Although the Nala clan is a Jurchen surname, during the Ming Dynasty, the clan was scattered in Yehe, Ula, Hada, Huifa and other places. Historical records of the surname Nala are: "Although they are one surname, each is a clan".

Now I understand, Nala Tadashi's full name should be added to the clan, which is Yehenala Tadashi. Isn't it quite familiar, and the "Lafayette" who ended the Qing Dynasty is the same surname!

Not only that, but the surname Yehenara, or the tribe of Yehe, and the Jianzhou Jurchens can be said to have a deep enmity like the sea, and there is a legend of "Yehe's curse".

At that time, after Nurhachi attacked and destroyed the Yeh tribe and completed the great cause of unifying the Jurchen tribes, he broke his promise and killed the Yeh leaders Jintaiji and Buyangu.

It is said that before he died, Jin Taiji cursed, saying, "Even if my descendants have a woman, they will also overthrow Manchuria!" ”。

Regardless of whether "Lafayette" is the revenge messenger of Yehebu, Zhu Youxiao made up the remnants of Yehe, who is loyal to Nala, in order to divide and disintegrate the Jurchens.

In addition to the legend of "Yehe's curse", Zhu Youxiao's choice of this surname and clan is also related to Huang Taiji. Because his mother's name was Yehnara Menggu Zhezhe, who was the younger sister of Kim Tae-gil.

If you want to say that the old slave is ruthless enough, he shows no mercy to his eldest brother, and kills him when he surrenders.

At that time, after the Yehe Department was destroyed, Mingshenzong ordered Yao Zongwen to go to the outside of the Saiwai to find the descendants of Yehe. Tsadaji's son, Delgrad, had two daughters married to Mongolia, and each was given 2,000 platinums.

The ministers of the Ming Dynasty also invited Jintaishi and Buyanggu to build temples, and Wang Shizhong, the remnant of Hada, was the wife and nephew of Jintaiji, and was awarded the post of guerrilla.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao's fabrication of Ye Hebu's descendants also has some basis. Even if it is unfounded, it is just a fig leaf for disintegrating and dividing the Jurchens and finding a fig leaf for Zhenyi to surrender.

Luo Sigong knew some information, and Zhu Youxiao mentioned it to him. He didn't understand why Banzai attached so much importance to the old slave's son.

In terms of performance and strength, except for being a literate barbarian, there is nothing special about it!

But long live just look at Huang Taiji's eyes are blue, he has already done several tricks, and the pit is not finished, what kind of hatred does this have to be?

Luo Sigong bowed down to receive the order, and asked for instructions: "After Weichen sent people to the Dongjiang River, he spread the news everywhere, causing civil strife in the Dongyu. ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "It's certain to spread the news, but it's not easy to build a slave civil strife. When people's minds change, it is not when the situation is exhausted. These are all small means, to exterminate Jiannu, or to see the truth on the battlefield. ”

"Long live the wise." Luo Sigong gave it a sycophant, but it was not all a compliment, at least the emperor's cognition was correct, and he didn't want to rely on these little tricks to level Liao.

Zhu Youxiao smiled calmly and said slowly: "Although it is not a short-term achievement to level Liao now, the personnel resources of the Suppression Division should also be appropriately tilted, mainly because of the situation of the Nanyang countries. In this regard, I will tell the General Chamber of Commerce to provide convenience to the Pacification Division. ”

Although he didn't understand why the emperor wanted to distract himself and start spying on overseas countries and places, Luo Sigong still bowed down to receive the order.

"It's almost all set up in Shanxi, right?" Zhu Youxiao opened his mouth and asked: "If you can, let Luo Yangxing come back, and I have another envoy to hand it over to him." ”

Luo Sigong hurriedly said: "Shanxi has its own elite soldiers and strong generals of the Zhenfu Division, and Luo Yangxing can return to Beijing immediately and wait for the dispatch of Long Live." ”

Jinyiwei is the exclusive military intelligence collection agency of the Ming Dynasty, first the "Gongwei Division" set up by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and later changed to the "Pro-Army Governor's Mansion", which is responsible for protecting a special agency of the emperor.

Due to its particularity, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei began to implement the hereditary system.

After each generation of Jinyiwei leaves office, his son succeeds him, and if the son is too young, he can wait until he is an adult to take office, or he can let a brother who is old enough to take over.

If there are really no candidates, they will be recruited and selected from the private sector. Of course, the screening and assessment are quite complicated and strict, so as to become a brocade guard.

Zhu Youxiao trusts the factory guard, and he does not plan to make fundamental changes to the hereditary Jinyiwei. For those who did not want to inherit and succeed, he also instructed the Suppression Division to relax the control.

It is precisely because Jinyiwei can be hereditary that Luo Sigong has the heart to cultivate his son, hoping that he can take over the position of commander. Even if you are not a commander, you can be satisfied with the commander.

Zhu Youxiao knew that Luo Sigong was old and would not be able to work for a few years, and he had been observing who could take over this important position.

According to his qualifications, Liu Qiao, the commander and acquaintance, ranked first, but he was not good at intrigues. Because of his upright relationship, Zhu Youxiao set him in the post of internal discipline management of the Suppression Division.

As for the others, Yang Jie is good, Luo Yangxing is also very hard-working, and Du Huaimin, who is responsible for investigating the intelligence of the Mongolian departments, has also made some achievements.

So, if nothing else, a new commander will be elected among the three.

Before Zhu Youxiao made a decision, he wanted to investigate it again. summoned Luo Yang to return to Beijing to send, and also told Luo Sigong that Xiao Luo was the candidate in his mind. If you do a good job, there is a lot of hope for lifting Xiao Luo.

Luo Sigong was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and he listened to the emperor's instructions before bowing down and retiring.

Jinyi guards the outside of the main house, and the east factory is the main inside, this is the big principle. Sometimes there are crossovers, which is normal.

Fortunately, Luo Sigong is old and qualified, and Zhu Youxiao specially expressed his favor, so Uncle Wei didn't dare to bully the Zhenfu Division.

But if you want to change to Xiao Luo, can Uncle Wei discuss with him kindly, and can he be willing to sit on an equal footing with Xiao Luo?

Zhu Youxiao was a little worried, but it didn't matter now, he took Uncle Wei's secret music and began to read it.

The envoys sent by the DPRK, such as Han Pingjun Li Qingquan, Tongzhi Central Prefecture Secretary Yin Xuan, and Secretary of the Ruling Committee Li Minchen, have already come to Beijing and are carrying out activities on a large scale.

At that time, according to the etiquette regulations and procedures of the Ming Dynasty, after the envoys of the vassal states arrived in Beijing, they could go to the Qing Officials Division of the Ministry of Rites the next day to present the documents they had received.

After the document is reviewed by the Ministry of Rites, it is forwarded to the cabinet for drafting, and then submitted to the emperor's imperial review, which is approved by the emperor and sent to the relevant departments for processing.

Therefore, the Ministry of Rites plays a pivotal role in when the documents are reviewed, whether they are reviewed, and when they are transferred to the cabinet after the review. Therefore, the officials of the Ministry of Rites seem to be idle, but corruption and corruption are not uncommon than in other departments.

And Zhu Youxiao has rectified the three departments of soldiers, households, and officials, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is also under the management of the iron-faced Bi Zisu, which is gradually recognized by the emperor.

There are no major changes in the Ministry of Rites for the time being, firstly, it is not very important, and secondly, the emperor has to come one by one, and he has not yet vacated the time!

Taking advantage of this invitation for the DPRK envoys to enter Beijing, Zhu Youxiao deliberately pretended not to know and let them go through the normal procedures. At the same time, he ordered Uncle Wei's Dongchang to send people to closely monitor.

In Uncle Wei's secret recital, Zhu Youxiao saw the faces of these officials clearly. Well, it's completely shameless, and it's even more embarrassing to lose the face of the Celestial Empire.

“…… Engrave for silver and ginseng, one is said to be money, and the other is said to be happy money. The one who tolerates is the first to introduce the clouds of things; Those who rejoice, the clouds of good news are also ......"

“…… Every day, I go to the hall to ask for 'money for things', and 'the official of the Ming Dynasty should copy the book, but the money is very small, and it is difficult and easy to do it'. ”

For the sake of money, asking for bribes has reached such a brazen level, Zhu Youxiao felt a fever on his face, and anger rose in his heart.

Zhu Youxiao also wanted to reap benefits from North Korea, and asked North Korea to agree to the conditions under the pretext of asking for canonization, so that it could impose a tighter blockade and siege on Jiannu.

But I didn't have the cheekiness to reach out and ask for it, let alone for a person, like you bastards who read the books of sages but are sanctimonious, and you have thrown your face away from foreign countries.

Zhu Youxiao suppressed his anger and wrote a reply to Uncle Wei, asking him to continue to monitor and play truthfully.

What is the use of such a bastard official raised by the imperial court? I gave you a salary increase for nothing, and I also formulated a pension after retirement, but I didn't even understand the gratitude of the people.

Exile yourself to the horizon as soon as possible and contribute to the development of Hainan Island, Dongfan, and even new overseas enclaves!

Zhu Youxiao feels that he hasn't done anything this year, well, cracking down on officials and businessmen is a thing! But this doesn't seem to be enough, there are still so many shameless officials under the nose of the Beijing Division, which can be regarded as a dereliction of duty.

The mediocre and greedy are deposed and exiled, and the capable and incorruptible are reused.

Zhu Youxiao's principles are simple and practical. There are many people in the world who can be officials and want to be officials, and there is no one to take over. Do you really think that without you bastards, the court won't be able to function?
