Emperor Tianqi asked: "In order to suppress the Donglin Party, let the Marquis of Dingyuan be wronged in Zhao Prison, and I heard that he was also treated by the jailers?" ”

Wang Hongyu felt that this grievance was much lighter than that of Baoding death row: "In order to weaken the reputation of the Donglin Party and reduce the harm of the Donglin Party to the country, it is nothing to suffer a little grievance." ”

"What does Dingyuan Hou think of the current situation in Liaodong? How should Daming respond? ”

Wang Hongyu knew that Zhu Youxiao had expected him to stay and train the Teng Ti Siwei in case Jiannu raided Guangning in the coming year. I also hope to go to Liaodong and deal with Jiannu as the core of the generals.

He is still hesitant to go to the southwest to recruit and train troops, as well as to deal with the possible rebellion of Lu'an.

Wang Hongyu knew that Tianqi would hesitate, but his choice had already been clear.

He expressed his opinion without reservation: "Jiannu has been severely damaged by the Southern Army, and now there are only 30,000 soldiers who can fight, and the troops are not enough to attack Quang Ninh. ”

"20,000 soldiers and horses in Guangning are still there, because Li Guangrong broke the bridge to prevent the Ming army from crossing the river, and did not participate in the bloody battle of the Hunhe River. Later, General Liu Qu and General Luo Yicheng led 9,000 soldiers and horses to rescue Liaoyang, but the loss was not large. ”

You Shigong's 5,000 soldiers under the general army have been transformed into a strong army after the battle of Shenyang, the battle of the Liaohe River, and the battle to rescue Liaoyang. Although General You is disabled, he is experienced and strong-willed, and he is a rare general. ”

Moreover, the emperor has asked Governor Wang Huazhen to recruit troops in Guangning, and this person has a very strong ability to recruit troops, which can be compared with Yuan Yingtai's logistics. But "

Wang Hongyu is outside, but he has always behaved friendly with Wang Huazhen, and now he has to tell the truth.

"Dingyuan Hou has something to say, don't worry." Apocalypse encouraged Wang Hongyu to continue.

"The minister said bravely: Governor Wang has a strong ability to recruit troops, but his ability to command troops is slightly stronger than Yuan Yingtai. The Donglin Party has been eager for military power for a long time, and Wang Huazhen is a disciple of Shoufu Ye Xianggao, the backbone of the Donglin Party. ”

Tianqi sighed: "It's a pity that Zhang Quan's patrol press sacrificed to save the people of Liaoyang, if he is the governor of Liaodong, he will have no worries." In this way, Liaodong is even more worried, Dingyuan Hou does not support the overall situation, I am not at ease. ”

Wang Hongyu knew that he had beaten Jiannu painfully.

The current situation is that Jiannu can't fight with heavy losses, and the field elites that the Ming army can mobilize are all themselves, so they can't fight it.

"General Jiang Bi, You Shilu General Soldier, and Youyang Turan Jiaolong sent the Henan Army to fight the bloody battle of the Hunhe River, and in the future battles, the army was almost gone, and those who survived were the essence.

There are a large number of refugees from Kaiyuan, Shenyang and Liaoyang in Quang Ninh, who have a bitter hatred for Jiannu and have sufficient soldiers.

The minister suggested that priority should be given to reorganizing these three strong armies, training refugees to defend the city, and those who were willing to stay in Liaodong after the wounded and sick of the southern army had healed, and forming a left-behind army. ”

At this moment, I remembered the time when I said goodbye to Xiong Tingbi and Qin Liangyu from Shanhaiguan.

"The minister thought that these four elite non-Liaodong armies could not be handed over to Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, to be under the jurisdiction of Wang Huazhen, so as not to appear the next Yuan Yingtai. It should be handed over to the jurisdiction of Liaodong Jingluo Xiong Tingbi! ”

"Good!"

Tianqi also felt that Xiong Tingbi was available, and if this army could be under his control, it would naturally not be completely overridden by Wang Huazhen.

"It will take two years to recover to the strength before the war, and the minister should have solved the problem of Lu'an and other toasts by that time."

Wang Hongyu is very confident, but Zhu Youxiao is worried about another thing.

"The Ming Dynasty has no money to recruit soldiers, and raising taxes will cause civil unrest. How is it good? ”

Wang Hongyu pointed to Wei Zhongxian next to him: "Father-in-law Wei's ability to make money is far above that of his ministers, His Majesty gives him privileges, and he doesn't have to worry about having no way to make money." ”

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly flattered: "Hey, young and young, the old slave is stupid, or the Marquis of Dingyuan has great talents, and the old slave is willing to cooperate with the Marquis of Dingyuan to open more industries." ”

"Hahaha, I've approved it."

Tianqi is basically clear about Wang Hongyu and Wei Zhongxian's work on clocks and honeycomb coal, and although he doesn't understand the expansion of the industry later, he is willing to let them do it.

"There is one more thing, it must be Gonggong Wei, but it must be a little notorious"

The three of them whispered earnestly, underestimating the old man for a long time, and an organization known to later generations appeared, that is, "Dongchang". Wei Zhongxian endured a great infamy, which made the nobles and corrupt officials of the Ming Dynasty fall into bad luck, and slowly spit out all the money.

Especially the second contemporary martial artist Zhu Chunchen.

This person is in a hurry, so don't blame me.

In history, he tied up Zhu Cihong, the prince of Chongzhen, took the lead in welcoming King Chuang, and finally welcomed King Chuang's "leather whip, clamping stick, guillotine" gift package ~

Just rush this performance, what are you hesitating about.

"The hearts of some Xun relatives have long been out of His Majesty and Daming, and there are millions of taels at home, which is not enough."

At this time, Zhu Chunchen was given eye medicine, and the evidence of Zhu Chunchen's collusion with Gao Panlong and the attempt to kill Wang Hongyu in Zhao Prison was handed over to Tianqi.

After taking the eye medicine, Wei Zhongxian will secretly investigate.

However, Wuxun has a deep foundation and must investigate quietly. The influence of Chengguo Gong in the capital is not something that can be started by heaven at all. If it were to move, the Apocalypse might mysteriously fall into the water and die, or someone might say, 'Why did Your Majesty rebel?' ’

Therefore, check it out first, and then Wang Hongyu or others will come forward to pay.

As for Gao Panlong, who had already killed himself, Wang Hongyu suggested that Tianqi relax the punishment of most of the Donglin Party and severely punish this person alone.

In addition to removing him from office, it is also necessary to discredit him.

Then came the trip to Yunyang and the southwest.

In addition to recruiting troops on the surface, in fact, it is to engage in its own force, which will become the foundation of the apocalypse.

Many things can't be said full, can't not be said, and can't be said too deeply, otherwise the ultimate intention will be exposed, and if you say too shallow, it will be considered to conceal the truth, so you can only point to the end, and you can only use the plan to be imperfect, and slowly explore while doing it to leave a way out.

He, a staff general, recruited elites in Yunyang, Chongqing and other places to establish several reinforcement battalions, and the higher establishment could not be exposed too early, otherwise it would cause scruples among the civil ministers and military heroes.

When it is expanded, it will be reported to His Majesty, and the number of troops must be linked to the economy, otherwise how can an army be formed without equipment and money?

He also said that the army and the people are engaged in industry, raising soldiers by war, and raising troops by the principle of self-sufficiency, and they must not rely on exploiting the people, nor can they rely on the imperial court, and the outer court and Wuxun do not want to see Wang Hongyu dominate the side.

After the summons, everything moved forward steadily.

Wang Hongyu was ordered to send the body of his eldest brother Zhou Dunji back to his hometown.

Of course, Uncle Liu Ruoyu still reuses.

But the play still has to be played.

Let the world think that Wei Zhongxian and Liu Ruoyu are not in harmony.

Therefore, the uncle did not stay in the palace, but according to Wang Hongyu's suggestion, he served as the eunuch of the Seal of the War Bureau, preparing for the manufacture and upgrading of ordnance in advance, and laying the foundation for the new strong army in the future.

Liu Ruoyu will also improve his technical skills from now on, not only as a literary eunuch, but also on the road to familiarity with military affairs.
