An hour ago.

"I officially issued a secret edict ordering you Sichuan soldiers and generals to continue to investigate the situation of the two families."

"Obey."

Wanli explained a little to the eunuch Bingbi, and asked him to take someone to the Sichuan barracks to arrange this matter.

The most important thing has been solved, Wanli is sick again, looking at the sun setting in the west, and saying a few words, King Fu is also very much looking forward to catching the assassin.

He was about to let Wang Hongyu leave.

saw that the young man's eyes were firm, as if he had something to say.

Wanli smiled and said a little helplessly: "You still have something to say~ The matter of family origin is the will of Emperor Taizu." Your family will pass it on well, don't be anxious about everything. ”

A few hours after beating the drum, Wanli found out Wang Hongyu's background and his relationship with the eunuch Liu Shimin.

This is also one of the reasons why Wanli decided to summon him.

"Your Majesty, the minister's primary concern is state affairs. Both eastern and southwestern Liaodong are currently in crisis. ”

Wanli said: "I already know this. ”

Wang Hongyu knew that he knew that Wanli wanted to rest just now, and it was a bit risky to continue to negotiate this matter.

But!

Wanli has two months left to live, and there is not much time left for himself.

Several goals have been achieved successively, but there are still a few, and it is best to set them when Wanli is there.

What has been achieved is: stopping infighting, making friends with a strong army, and accumulating Xu Guangqi and other connections.

However, the economy and land at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the war situation in Liaodong and the Donglin Party in the court were the things he was more concerned about.

In particular, a major war will break out in Liaodong next year, and it is far from enough to unite the Sichuan soldiers, Zhejiang soldiers, and white pole soldiers, and it is necessary to make changes in the nine sides and the appointment of officials.

In particular, it is necessary to stop Yuan Yingtai of the Donglin Party from serving as the economic strategy of Liaodong.

Because as long as he is there, no matter how strong the Southern Army is, it will be pitted to death.

"The minister thinks that Liaodong's war preparedness is still insufficient, and although the generals of our Sichuan soldiers can check the affairs of the luxury family, the core task is to go to Liaodong to fight against Jiannu."

"Oh?"

Wanli felt that this kid was a little interesting, and he reported that Lu'an was at risk of rebellion, and he agreed that the Sichuan soldiers who were most familiar with them would continue to investigate.

But as soon as he changed his words, he said that he had to go to Liaodong. What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?

Wang Hongyu took a deep breath and said confidently: "The elite of the Daming field has lost a lot in Salhu, and the remaining field forces on the nine sides are insufficient. Therefore, the elite of the southern army such as our Sichuan soldiers must go to Liaodong for a decisive battle. ”

When it came to military matters, Wanli also became serious, and said in a majestic tone:

"I am the elite of the Ming Dynasty, and I have a thicker foundation than your Sichuan soldiers, you just now have to go to Liaodong for the southern army such as the Sichuan soldiers, do you take yourself too seriously."

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thought that after the three major defeats of Liaozhen in Fushun Pass, Sarhu, and Kaiyuan Tieling, it had lost the elite who dared to fight, and there were many soldiers left. And Jizhen has long since changed from the strongest in the nine sides to the weakest today. ”

Here are some examples.

Previously, a group of battalions in Jizhen and Baoding suffered heavy losses along the way with Juniper in Salhu. This is not only about soldiers and horses, but also about hundreds of grassroots generals and leading officials.

That's why there are degraded generals such as Zhou Dunji and Qi Jin, who are used to recruit and train troops in Jizhen.

For example, the example of this Tongzhou martial arts competition shows that the strength of the Sichuan soldiers is still there, but there are a bunch of showmanships left in Jizhen.

Thinking of this, Wang Hongyu couldn't help but sigh a little.

He thought to himself that after Qi Jiguang took office, Jizhen was the strongest existence in the Nine Sides.

But liquidating Zhang Juzheng and driving away Qi Jiguang was the first blow. North Korea fought against the Japanese army, and the northern army suppressed the Qijia army and other southern armies was the second strike. In 1595, the massacre of the Qi family army, which was forced to ask for wages, was the third blow. Part of the main force of Salhu Ji Town, following Juniper all the way to annihilation is the fourth blow.

Outside of Jiliao, it should be Xuanda.

The two towns of Xuanfu and Datong are poor and good at hard fighting, and they have rich experience in dealing with the enemy Mongol army in front of them, but it will definitely be a little difficult to deal with Nurhachi, who is mainly heavily armored and better equipped than them. For example, in Salhu, there were some Xuan troops who followed Marin on the northern road, and suffered heavy losses in the case of numerical inferiority.

The three sides of the northwest, namely Yansui Town, Guyuan Town, and Gansu Town, have a large number of troops but are even poorer, especially Yansui Town, which is very capable of fighting, but it was still sent away by Juniper.

Now, Xiong Tingbi is to transfer the northwest three sides of the elite of the nine sides as the main force.

The last two towns of Shanxi and Shaanxi on the nine sides are the supporting forces of Xuanda and the three sides, and the degree of elite is naturally slightly lower than the above.

Therefore, if you really want to say that at this moment, the top field forces of the Ming Dynasty must include the elite of the Southern Army.

The famous white pole soldiers, although they and their equipment are poor, but they are loyal, brave and good at fighting, and their strength and courage in hand-to-hand combat are better than those of the Houjin army.

Qi Jiguang's nephew Qi Jin, and the new Zhejiang soldiers trained by gun expert Zhang Mingshi in accordance with the "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" are not inferior to Jiubian in the same number.

There are also a group of Liu Ting's old Sichuan army troops such as Zhou Dunji and Zhang Shenwu, which are not weaker than Jiubian, and now after training by Wang Hongyu and others, they will only get stronger and stronger.

Wanli was silent for a moment after hearing this, and his spirit was slightly less than just now, as if he was a few years older in an instant.

"It is worthy of being a descendant of Wuxun, and he is indeed very accurate and dares to say it."

He got up and paced, clearly struggling with something.

After a while, he said: "Your Sichuan soldiers, Shizhu, and Youyang elites have all gone north, and Mu Qiyuan of the Mu family in Yunnan is a very unsuccessful guy...... You have to follow the clues, and you also have to go north with the main force of the Southern Army, and the nine sides can no longer divide troops to deter the 100,000 army of Hao'an. ”

Then he suddenly stared at Wang Hongyu and said; "You're not just here to talk about problems, are you? If you have any ideas, just tell me. ”

He is worthy of the emperor.

Sure enough, he still saw through my thoughts.

But he must not have seen through it, he wanted to take away the real goal of Yuan Yingtai of the Donglin Party, or even if he saw it, he would do it.

Because, the main force of the nine-sided elite Canaan Army can defeat Nurhachi's Eight Banners.

The premise is not to use Yuan Yingtai, a novice in war, as a strategy.

Yuan Yingtai was a logistics expert at this time. At this time, the official position was not large, and as soon as the Donglin Party came to power in history, he was promoted to the governor of Liaodong, and as soon as Xiong Tingbi was driven away, he took over as the Liaodong Economic Strategy.

In the end, the battle of Liaoyang and Shenyang was defeated, burying the last batch of field elites of the Ming Dynasty during the Wanli period.

Wang Hongyu directly said his thoughts:

"The minister thought that he should send a prestigious minister, nominally the governor Yungui, but in fact cut off the connection between the two families of luxury and An and Yunnan, so as to form a deterrent posture of cutting off the enemy's rear route."

Wanli thought for a while and smiled: "Haha, it's like Wang Yangming cutting off the queen's road, wonderful~."

However, Yungui's non-capable ministers are not competent, do you think anyone can be competent. ”

"The minister thinks that there are four people who are quite prestigious, and they are capable people, who can suppress the toast who is about to move."

"Which four?"

"Wang Dewan, Zou Yuanbiao, Yuan Keli, Yuan Yingtai."
