"Jiannu has retired?" Chongzhen asked in surprise.

"Report to Your Majesty, according to the investigation of my subordinate Yiding, the entire army of Jianzhou has indeed fled to the Luanzhou-Zunhua line in the northeast."

"Going to Zunhua?" Chongzhen assessed in his heart that it was said that after going for so many days (the number of days of siege plus the distance to Beijing in the early stage of Jianzhou), Yuan Chonghuan was grinding foreign workers again, and it was time to take Zunhua.

He looked at Man Gui, pondered for a moment, and said, "Man Jingluo, there is something I still need to let you know. ”

"Inspector Yuan did not die, but was arranged by me to lead Zu Dashou and He Kegang to attack Zunhua and cut off the back road of Jianzhou."

"I've read your transcript, and I know that you have a long-standing relationship with Yuan Chonghuan and Liao Zhen. However, what about the future..."

Chongzhen was organizing the language, but was surprised to see tears flowing from the corners of Man Gui's eyes.

"Your Majesty Shengming, in this way, it is really a blessing for Liaodong, a blessing for the Ming Dynasty!"

"I was originally born in Liaozhen. When Ning Yuan built the city, it was also recommended by Inspector Yuan. ”

Man Gui explained why he, as Sun Chengzong's Chinese army, grew all the way from Liaodong to a senior officer, but he couldn't get along with Liaozhen and the others.

It turned out that Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao were originally close friends, but during the Battle of Ningyuan, Zhao Shujiao, who was stationed in Qiantun, did not personally support Man Gui and only sent more than 1,000 reinforcements.

Therefore, when reporting the credit, Man Gui resolutely did not give credit to Zhao Shujiao, but Yuan Chonghuan disagreed. Because he knew that Jianzhou was good at encircling points and sending reinforcements, he specially asked Jingluo Gaodi not to send reinforcements, so he didn't feel that Zhao Shujiao was wrong.

Originally, it was a battle of will, but later the status of the three people rose, and they couldn't wipe off their faces, and this matter was always a dead knot until Zhao led the whole army to be wiped out.

And Man Gui's complaint to Yuan Chonghuan was actually to take a breath, not really to kill him.

What Man Gui didn't show was that although the Yiding under his command had strong combat effectiveness, the military discipline was poor, so if he really had to take care of it, maybe it was Liaozhen that Yiding provoked first.

After listening to this, Chongzhen also had a little understanding of their confused account.

"Your Majesty, Lao Zhao is gone, people can't be resurrected after death, no matter how big the grievance is, in the face of the hatred of the country and the family, what is it?"

I only heard Man Gui pleaded again, "Your Majesty, there must be many dangers for Jiannu to go to Zunhua, please lead the city to rescue the king army and fight side by side with Inspector Yuan!" ”

Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "Let's delay the support for the time being, Jianzhou has been attacking the city for several days, and the city is full of tired soldiers." Hurry to save Zunhua again, I'm afraid I won't be wrapped in dumplings first. ”

He also reminded Man Guidao, "Man Jingluo, the past has been revealed. Lately, however, some people have been whispering in my ears that your Yiding is quite a nuisance. ”

Chongzhen handed a book to Man Gui, pointed to one of the pages and said, "Recently, your military burden has not been so heavy, you can take a good look at this allusion." ”

It is in the "Qualification Tongjian" that "the right is Lu Meng said, Qing should be in charge of things, and he must learn".

Man Gui's face was red-eared and equatored, "Report to Your Majesty, the minister is illiterate." ”

Chongzhen said, "It's okay, you can let the literate soldiers under your account read it to you." ”

waved away Man Gui, Chongzhen called Wang Chengen to tell some things, looked at the map in front of him and fell into thought.

After so many simulations, Chongzhen's strongest opponent was Huang Taiji.

He also fought countless battles with Huang Taiji, and even had the opportunity to have a long talk with him.

It's just that Chongzhen at that time, the imperial driver's personal expedition failed, and he just talked to Huang Taiji as a prisoner.

The so-called Hulu has no 100-year fortune refers to the fact that after the rapid expansion of the primitive clan system like Jianzhou, the original system is difficult to control the rapidly expanding strength, so it is extremely easy to collapse from within.

After Nurhachi's death, the four major beylers took turns to govern on a monthly basis, and the lord of the eight banners had to discuss the government of the eight kings on major matters.

Huang Taiji was elected as the Great Khan because he was not the strongest and seemed to pose the least threat to the other Great Beylers, but he seized the opportunity and became the undisputed Emperor of the Qing Dynasty step by step.

Let the original harmonious Eight Banners clan system evolve into an absolute monarchy,

Chongzhen realized from then on that the struggle between the Ming Dynasty and Jianzhou and even the peasant army was not only a military struggle, but also a political struggle.

Military struggle can promote political struggle, but it cannot replace it.

Now it seems that his biggest results have begun to appear.

That is, Huang Taiji's status has been suppressed!

According to Chongzhen's knowledge of him, Huang Taiji is a very adventurous person and is very good at taking the initiative.

If he is in charge, he will not conservatively retreat from the original path to Guanwai, but from an unexpected angle, regain the initiative on the battlefield.

Now that he is willing to lead tens of thousands of troops to retreat, it must be that there are changes within Jianzhou.

It's just that Daming doesn't have spies in Jianzhou, and it's difficult for Chongzhen to figure out what happened specifically.

In any case, in the first battle of this simulation, I am on the right path.

In the next war against Jianzhou, it is necessary to focus on striking at Huang Taiji's position.

Whatever Huang Taiji wants to do, he must not be able to do it.

For example, the reason why Chongzhen wanted to bombard Horqin was to make Korqin, a close ally of Jianzhou, realize that Huang Taiji was cheating on himself, and he was dissatisfied and estranged from Huang Taiji.

This is far more meaningful than killing a few soldiers with two yellow flags.

For example, next, Huang Taiji is about to launch a annexation war against the Inner Gurkha and Chahar Ministries, and Chongzhen will inevitably intervene in it.

Chongzhen must make the other three Baylors and each little Baylor feel:

Our sweat, how can we do nothing!

The struggle between the two forces, like the counterpoint in a MOBA game, is always greater than the part.

If your own jungler cooperates well, and would rather sacrifice a little economy to blow up the opponent's carry position, then it is likely that the opposite auxiliary top list will have their own thoughts, such as grabbing C-position resources, and not outputting meat loading piles.

In this way, even if the opposite jungler grabs one or two more buffs, it seems to be up on the surface, but in fact, when it comes to team battles, it will always be vulnerable.

The key to Daming's defeat of Jianzhou was to make Huang Taiji stunted.

However, now he has no cards to play, so he can only wait for the battle report of Zunhua.

Chongzhen sat slumped on the table, barely closing his eyes in the past few days, and he was busy and leisurely, and at the same time he was thinking about the next domestic affairs move.

War is not only a military fight, but also a logistical fight.

Of course, the first priority in internal affairs is finance, commonly known as making money.

But Chongzhen is not in a hurry to make money now, because he has a more important thing to do.

That is to rectify the rule of officials.

The real world is not an online novel, and the protagonist's head can be 100% implemented by civil officials from the center to the locality, and then to the grassroots level, and there will inevitably be deviations and losses, that is, official corruption and dereliction of duty.

If the rule of officials is always as corrupt as in the Wanli and Tianqi years, even if Chongzhen gets 10 million taels of silver and prepares to go to northern Shaanxi for disaster relief, the value of this silver may only be 6 million taels after buying grain, and there are still 3 million taels left in northern Shaanxi, and there are still 1 million taels in the prefecture and county, and 200,000 taels in the state and county to set up porridge factories.

The porridge that the victims of the disaster can drink is still clear enough to see the shadow of the people, and at most they will drink it for half a year, and they will rise up to rebel again.

Therefore, if you don't improve the rule of officials, you can't dig out the roots of the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

If you want to completely control this phenomenon, you must first start with the subordinates.

Chongzhen was still closing his eyes and recuperating, only listening to Wang Chengen's preaching, "Wang Yongguang, the secretary of the ministry, has arrived!" ”
