For Mao Wenlong, the emperor's previous feelings were a little complicated.

In his analysis and judgment, Mao Wenlong in history was killed by Yuan Chonghuan, which was indeed very wronged.

But Mao Wenlong's arrogance is not made up. Despite all the complicated reasons, the emperor still had some concerns.

Therefore, since the opening of the town in Dongjiang, the emperor has adopted a new model, which not only gives Mao Wenlong military command, but also controls military discipline and salary, and has more supervision of the secret music system.

Now, the emperor has enough confidence to firmly control the Ming army, including the generals of the Ming Dynasty, and Mao Wenlong is no exception.

After a long silence, the emperor slowly spoke and said, "Mao Qing, don't be restrained, you can look up. ”

Mao Wenlong's body trembled, and he hurriedly bowed down to thank him, and then slowly raised his head and looked at the emperor.

The emperor is very young, although he already has a beard, but at the age of more than twenty, in Mao Wenlong's eyes, he is young.

The emperor's smile and Xi, if you don't know how many corrupt officials and bad gentry have been killed in the past few years, and how many criminals have been exiled, I'm afraid no one will think that the emperor is very violent.

The emperor looked healthy, but he was not strong. But Mao Wenlong knew that the front-line soldiers could be leveled in a few years, but the emperor was an indispensable strong backing for victory.

Since Jiannu's rebellion against the Ming Dynasty, Mao Wenlong has been in Liaodong, and it can be said that he has witnessed the whole process of the entire Liaodong war. From the fiasco of Sarhu to the fall of Liaoshen, he saw the rise of Jiannu sweeping most of Liaodong.

After three dynasties, Jiannu was finally suppressed and fled north in embarrassment. Although the Emperor of the Apocalypse was young, he showed his decisiveness in killing, and he had amazing foresight and strategy.

Even Mao Wenlong admires and even frightens whenever he thinks about it.

From the beginning of the Battle of Quang Ninh, the emperor's strategy was almost error-free, and the generals appointed were all loyal and brave.

The upgrading of weapons and equipment, the innovation of tactical methods, and the procurement and transportation of grain, grass and materials...... All this was the reason for the fiasco of Jiannu, and it was unthinkable without the strong support of the emperor.

"Hooray!" Mao Wenlong only glanced at it, then bowed down and bowed again.

The emperor smiled and waved his hand, and said: "The great victory of Pingliao is due to Mao Aiqing's great contribution. Gou Aiqing also lives up to my expectations, and they can all be commendable. ”

"The remnants of Jiannu have fled north, and they are already struggling to survive, and they will die in no time. I summoned the two Aiqing to meet me, and I just want to hear your strategy. Not only to destroy slaves, but also to rebuild and stabilize Liaodong is my concern. ”

"The Tang, Song, and even the present dynasty, the north is the great enemy of the Central Plains Dynasty, and Liaodong can also be called the source of war. In the Song Dynasty, there was Liao first, and then there was Jin ......"

History is different, but there are similarities. The Liao, Jin, and Qing dynasties all rose from the northeast and dealt a devastating blow to the Central Plains Dynasty.

Therefore, the emperor not only defeated the great danger of Jiannu, but also built Liaodong into a stable base, expanded the territory of the Ming Dynasty to the north, and formed a more powerful defense.

In a dozen or decades, the current Liaodong will no longer be the front line, but the big rear.

"Hooray." Mao Wenlong bowed down and said: "Weichen thinks that although Liaodong is called bitter cold, it is a fertile land, and if you manage it well, you can also become a prosperous place." As long as the population grows, the cultivated land increases......"

The Emperor listened, smiled, and did not feel anything new.

To develop the Great Northern Wilderness and build the Great Northern Wilderness, the emperor understands all kinds of policies and measures more clearly than anyone else, and thinks more deeply than anyone else.

Population is indeed the most important, if there are no millions of educated youths going to the Northeast, it will still be called the Great Northern Wilderness.

However, relying on factors such as current productivity and transportation capacity, as well as the impact of major disasters, it will be a slow process to migrate to Liaodong and develop.

Even if it is slow, the emperor does not care very much, as long as the pace does not stop and the development plan is resolutely implemented, there will be no such thing as Yaksa and Nebuchu in history.

Because, according to the emperor's plan, it will not take many years to reach Heilongjiang by advancing north for 100 miles every year.

And Heilongjiang and Daxinganling are not the emperor's ultimate goal, and the black gold buried in Siberia is also included in the hands of the Ming Empire.

The cold of the Xiaoice River could not destroy Tsarist Russia further north, nor could it destroy the Mongol tribes in Mobei, let alone stop the emperor's will and the Ming army's footsteps to expand north.

As for the confidence in the system of supervision and restraint he designed, the emperor did not have to think too much about which courtier's history contained it. If it can be used, it will be used, and if it cannot be used, it will be withdrawn, and no one can be arrogant, or even support the army to make chaos.

"Ten miles to build a fort, there are roads to connect, occupy the side of the tun, step by step, 100 miles a year is not the limit, 200 miles may also be ......"

The emperor pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, and while agreeing with Mao Wenlong's suggestion, he also thought that his courage and pattern were not as big as his own.

How stingy it is to build a fort, it is good to build a city. He has all the names in mind, what Changchun, Siping, Harbin, Qiqihar, Jiamusi......

The strategy of building cities and roads is not only applicable to the expansion of territory from Liaodong to the north, but also Mongolia, what Hohhot, Baotou, Ulanqab...... It is only a goal that the emperor wants to achieve in more than ten years.

Jiannu has basically no possibility of making a comeback, and Lin Dan Khan, who is unifying the Mongolian tribes and repeating the glory of his ancestors, how can he be the opponent of the Ming army?

The entire north of the Ming Dynasty is a game of chess, and the northward expansion is also the only strategic plan. This point, by repeating Horqin and setting up Zasak, Mao Wenlong also clearly understood.

In this regard, Mao Wenlong supported the emperor and had great confidence.

Through the war in Liaodong, the imperial court used huge resources to train and build a heroic army capable of sweeping all enemies. The weapons and equipment are crushed, the cavalry wall is pushed horizontally, and this force can still silence it?

"The restoration of the hometown of Nuer Gandusi and the inclusion of it under the direct jurisdiction of my Ming Dynasty, Weichen thinks that it is not difficult to repeat the glory of Taizu and Chengzu under the command of His Majesty ...... Wise and Martial Majesty."

Mao Wenlong praised the emperor, paused slightly, and looked up slightly to observe.

Hahahaha, the emperor smiled heartily, at least Mao Wenlong thought so, and couldn't help but feel relieved.

"It's not just about expanding the territory, it's about firmly occupying it and actively operating it." The emperor suppressed his laughter and said, "If the occupied land becomes a burden on the imperial court, it will be okay for a year or two, but no matter how long it is, what is the point?" ”

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Mao Aiqing, I want to know, how many troops are needed in Liaodong to complete the task of destroying slaves and expanding the territory?" ”

Mao Wenlong hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Long live, after repeated calculations, Weichen feels that thirty-six thousand is enough. ”

This is the figure that Mao Wenlong came up with after repeated compression, and discussed it with Gou Zhenhuai and others. It can not only complete the task, but also enable the imperial court to guarantee food and salary.
