Liu Lishun is a role model, as is Wen Anzhi, as well as Wei Guangwei and Ni Wenhuan, the governors of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Xia Zhongshi, who was promoted by Shang Jia Jian.

And the generals who are promoted quickly are even more unknown, and most of the generals of the Nine Sides are already from martial arts, or the emperor himself has promoted and reused.

From Wen to Wu, more and more Wenchen and military generals have gathered around the emperor.

Of course, many of them have real talents and learning, but there are also many who are just obedient and implement the imperial court policies and the emperor's decrees to the letter, and they are promoted.

The power of example is endless, and the road to promotion is not so difficult, which naturally attracts more people's attention, attracts more people to work hard to perform, and move closer to the emperor.

To explain this situation in the simplest words, that is, "once a son of heaven and a courtier", or "what is good at the top, what must be done at the bottom".

What kind of courtiers the emperor likes, there will be no shortage in all dynasties. Whether it is a loyal servant or a traitor; Whether it's outspoken or flattering.

If you want to mix with officialdom, you have to know the emperor's preferences and figure out the thoughts of the Son of Heaven. Otherwise, it will not be long before you become an official, and sooner or later you will be kicked out and get out.

Actually, it has nothing to do with loyalty, nor does it have anything to do with integrity and treachery. A loyal minister is good, but which traitor is not talented?

In Zhu Youxiao's view, it is more in line with his mind to be able to do a good job of the envoys he has explained, not to violate the law of the country, and to be flattering and flattering.

And like some ministers who claim to be righteous, full of benevolence and morality, and who are willing to make direct admonitions at every turn, if they do not do their jobs well, they will not be of much use.

The most obvious example is those Donglin Party officials in history. Internally, it cannot alleviate finances and improve people's livelihood, and externally, it cannot defeat Jiannu and protect the peace of the country, but it will only fight against the emperor with his neck.

What is the crown prince, what are the three major cases, staring at the royal family every day to find faults, and using this to invite the name of loyalty and straightness, but it is useless.

The emperor's family affairs, do you need to interject in and comment? Go online at every turn, quote scriptures at every turn, and do something serious when you have time.

Anyway, Zhu Youxiao has made up his mind. You are in charge of your own family affairs, and who is in charge of who is in a hurry.

As for any family affairs, the royal family naturally focuses on the heirs. Yu'er gave birth to two girls, but Concubine Wang Liang and the queen's bellies are getting bigger and bigger.

Zhu Youxiao remembered that in history, the queen Zhang Yan seemed to have given birth to a male baby, and of course she can't be manipulated now.

Thinking of the queen, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but purse the corners of his mouth, showed a smile, raised his head and ordered: "Go to Kunning Palace at noon, tell the imperial dining room, and send the food there." ”

For the child in the womb, Zhang Yan and Concubine Wang Liang care more than the emperor. In the royal palace, it is almost an immutable law that a mother is more expensive than a child. Even if you give birth to a princess, it is much stronger than nothing.

Zhu Youxiao made a temporary decision and did not notify in advance, lest Zhang Yan be busy taking over. I happened to have lunch in Kunning Palace, and then took a nap with the plump queen in my arms, and kissed and touched the little addiction, which was delicious.

But things in the world are always unexpected, and God often does beautiful things that disturb people.

Before Zhu Youxiao got up, Wang Tiqian hurriedly entered and presented the secret music box. If it was a normal performance, Zhu Youxiao could delay it, but when he saw that it was Xiong Tingbi from Liaodong, he didn't dare to delay.

After inspecting the seal, Zhu Youxiao opened the secret music and looked at it carefully.

It has been explained before that although there are still a few months to prepare for next year's winter and spring counteroffensive, the harassment of Jiannu cannot be stopped, and it is necessary to make it impossible to live in peace and constantly consume Jiannu's savings and strength.

It's just that Xiong Tingbi's battle plan exceeded the scale of the attack set by the emperor, which made Zhu Youxiao frown slightly. After thinking for a while, he got up and came to the sand table in the corner of the hall, contemplating it.

According to the number of Ming troops, it is not too risky to advance directly to the Haicheng River, or even to besiege Haizhouwei.

As Xiong Tingbi analyzed and judged, it is unlikely that Jiannu will send too many troops to fight against the river, which is a taboo for soldiers. Therefore, the Ming army is steady and steady, and there should be no problem in advancing to the Haicheng River.

And to attack the Acropolis of Haizhou, it is also feasible to rely on the artillery possessed by the Ming army.

What's more, in addition to the Hongyi cannon, the Ming army also had other means of breaking the city, such as the emperor's guidance, the pit and external blasting techniques mastered after martial arts experiments.

But the Ming army was launched too early, which was Zhu Youxiao's feeling. As soon as the battle starts, it is not something that can be taken if you want to. Jiannu just passively guarded Liaoshen and let the Ming army tighten the noose?

If Jiannu made a big move, the strength that could deal with the Ming army group in southern Liaoning would be very limited.

First of all, the flying cavalry of the Beijing battalion will not be mobilized until after the autumn, secondly, the Mongolian tribes and the naturalized flying cavalry battalion are also preparing to be dispatched at that time, and the last point is that the transportation and storage of ammunition and materials have not yet been completed.

These are two forces to be reckoned with, and they can even be said to be the key to victory. It can not only firmly contain the forces of Jiannu, but also wait for the opportunity to attack and win.

And the ammunition and materials are the reason why Zhu Youxiao doesn't want to fight a big battle, if it is consumed at high intensity, it won't last too long, and he feels that he is suspicious of being a tiger.

But Xiong Tingbi has already made a battle plan and has mobilized his men, which is of course his power. The escalation of the disturbance attack into a battle, or even a battle, is estimated to be in his expectation.

Zhu Youxiao smiled bitterly, he was only responsible for the strategic level and logistical arrangements for the Liaodong operation, and he rarely interfered in specific commands.

Now, not only Xiong Tingbi, but also Mao Wenlong have shown a relatively strong desire to fight, which makes the emperor, who has always been as stable as an old dog, very difficult.

It's not impossible to veto it directly, but it's not good. Zhu Youxiao took these into account, and it is estimated that Xiong Tingbi and Mao Wenlong also thought of it.

It is a good thing to fight and win, and Zhu Youxiao actually feels that this change is gratifying. Although the signs have long appeared, there are still not many who dare to fight at the battle level.

In particular, Xiong Tingbi is second only to the emperor in terms of calmness. Well, Zhu Youxiao thinks so. Even the old bear is about to rise up, are you the emperor's splashing cold water?

After thinking about it, Zhu Youxiao still decided to agree with Lao Xiong's battle plan. It will take a month, and it will definitely be too late to send back the secret message.

But agreeing is agreeing, Zhu Youxiao feels that it is better to be stable. It's been stable for several years, not a few months.

Advance to the Haicheng River, wide; Attack the Acropolis of Haizhou, and also wide. However, it is necessary to be prepared to abandon the Acropolis of Haizhou, use the Haicheng River as the line of defense, and confront Jiannu.

Across the Haicheng River, if you fight against Jiannu for a long time under the Haizhou Acropolis, it will be difficult to transport materials, and the risk of fighting against the water is also very large.

After all, the Ming army could not directly drive into the Haicheng River, and if the ship was built on the spot, it would be time-consuming, labor-intensive, and unsafe.
