Fan Wencheng, Bao Chengxian and other generals in Zhenyucheng arrived.

They arrived with Zu Tianshou and others.

Yang Chengying met with them, and just like last time, he asked some about the recent situation of Zhenyu City.

But Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan met me for the first time in the real sense.

Two Wenchen strategists with very different styles looked at each other with a perspective eye.

Since Zhenyu City is an important place in Jinzhou Town, staying in Zhenyu City is almost the strongest general in Jinzhou Town.

Peng Haigu, Shang Kexi, Kong Youde, Zhou Wenyu, Huang Long and other military generals, whether they surrendered to Houjin in history, or generals who died for the loyalty of the Ming Dynasty came.

The small General Military Mansion suddenly became lively.

In the evening, a banquet is held here, and the generals are staggered with cups and drinks, and they are drunk before resting.

After the dismissal, Yang Chengying only left Luo Sanjie, Fan Wencheng, Bao Chengxian, Zu Tianshou and Ning Wanmei.

Of course, instead of continuing to drink and eat, I first blow the wind with them and ventilate.

Several people sat around the charcoal basin.

"According to reliable sources in Beijing, due to the defeat of Liuhe, a large number of officials and ministers impeached Jiliao Sun Jingluo, saying that his loss of his teacher and humiliation of the country was comparable to Yang Hao."

Yang Chengying sighed and said: "Sun Jingluo wrote a confession, and it is estimated that it is enough." ”

Bao Chengxian said: "In fact, the defeat of Liuhe lost only a few hundred people, how to say that there were tens of thousands. If it weren't for someone deliberately stirring up trouble, it would be difficult to explain. ”

"Mainly because of the foil of the battle of Gaizhou, it seems that Sun Jingluo has lost a lot."

Fan Wencheng said objectively.

In fact, the losses are really not as serious as Yanguan Kechen said.

According to the report of the sentinels, Ma Shilong lost a total of more than 400, and Houjin captured 670 war horses and hundreds of armor.

"I'm afraid this has something to do with the situation in the imperial court."

Ning Wan's eyes were like torches: "The group of people led by Wei Zhongxian has fought to the point of life and death with a group of people led by Ye Xianggao. ”

Historically, the Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party began in the first year of the Apocalypse and were separated until the fourth year of the Apocalypse.

The eunuchs won a big victory and the Donglin party was defeated.

The elite of the Donglin Party was swept away, and the real Donglin Party disappeared in the long river of history.

Since then, both Daming and Nanming have used the shell of the Donglin Party to engage in party unity and dissension, and compete for power and profit.

The two parties are in a white-hot stage at the moment, and Sun Chengzong, who has a heavy army and is very close to the Donglin Party, has naturally become a thorn in Wei Zhongxian's eyes and a thorn in his flesh!

"Dashuai, this is a bad sign."

Fan Wencheng advised: "At this moment, you must not get involved, it is easy to be involuntarily and even shattered." ”

Yang Chengying nodded: "I only focus on building Jinzhou Town and marrying the princess, and other things have nothing to do with me." ”

What's more, even if you want to, you can't manage it.

Don't look at the population of Jinzhou Town, compared with other places in Daming, it is not enough to see at all.

Coupled with the remote location, Yang Chengying thinks that he does not have that influence.

It's better to do your own thing honestly and wait for things to change.

After talking about the defeat of Liuhe, I began to get to the point.

Yang Chengying got up and walked to the wall where the map was hung, and pointed to the line on the map: "Next year, I plan to do a few things. The first is to build a road, a road that runs from east to west and from north to south. ”

As early as when they entered the study, the five of them saw the map hanging on the wall.

At the time, they were all wondering what the lines on the map meant, and now they finally got the answer.

Zu Tianshou was the first to agree: "Jinzhou used to be very poor, and the roads were not smooth. Although I repaired some of them, I still felt inconvenient when I actually used them, and now it is better to rebuild them.

No matter what happens in the future, you can provide timely support in a short time, and the message transmission is smoother than before. ”

"That's right." Yang Chengying said, "We have formed Zhenyu City, Jinzhou City, Lushun Port, Guifubao, and Dachangshan Island into a whole through water and land transportation, which is conducive to commercial development and material allocation. ”

"The marshal still plans to build a port?" Ning finished me asked.

"Yes."

Yang Chengying got up again and pointed to the locations marked with red circles, indicating that these were ports.

Pikou Port, Xingshutun Port, Caojiatun Port, Jinzhou City Port.

Coupled with the Mandarin Duck Port on Dachangshan Island, a maritime trade network in the northeast of Jinzhou Town will be built.

Through this trade network, ginseng, deer antler velvet and other mountain delicacies were transported to Beijing, and python satin and self-woven cloth were transported to the Li Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom.

What's more, it has become easier to deploy troops and move supplies.

"It seems that next year's marshal will not be counted as a foreign soldier."

Fan Wencheng stroked his beard lightly and said with a smile.

Yang Chengying smiled mysteriously: "Not necessarily, but it is impossible to go north for the time being." Amin and a big group of people are waiting for me to take the bait, so I won't go. ”

His sentence "not necessarily" aroused the curiosity of Zu Tianshou and others.

"Dashuai, who are you going to fight if you don't go to Jianyu?" Zu Tianshou asked curiously.

"Well, I'll know better about this, let him tell you."

Yang Chengying felt that what he was going to do was not very authentic, and it was not easy to say it in front of his subordinates.

Ning Wan, I have no scruples about this at all.

He said: "The marshal is ready to raise troops again and go to the Li Dynasty to help the Li Dynasty quell the war." ”

War? I didn't hear that Li Chao made any big noise.

Zu Tianshou was even more puzzled.

Because Port Arthur was the shipping hub of the Ming Dynasty and the Li Dynasty, there were many ships passing by, and I didn't hear the merchants of the Li Dynasty mention anything big.

"No, we can let him have it."

Ning Wan showed a kind smile: "Only by letting the Li Dynasty firmly rely on the marshal will it be beneficial to go north to attack Jianyu." ”

No wind and waves is my consistent ability.

However, all the generals turned their attention to Yang Chengying at this time.

Because if you talk about a master without wind and waves, you have to be handsome.

Yang Chengying smiled and said, "Don't look at me, everyone, I am also thinking about the long-term development of Jinzhou Town." It's a fool not to make money, but Ben Shuai is not stupid. ”

Except for Ning Wan and me, the other four people all had black lines on their faces, and they estimated that Li Chao was going to be unlucky.

"Dashuai, what's the second thing?"

Seeing that the atmosphere of the scene was a little strange, I would rather finish delivering the message in time.

"Oh, and the second thing is to expand the army."

Yang Chengying said: "I already plan to select the strong from the Thirteen Mountains Righteous Army and form a new army of 10,000 people. ”

10,000 people!

Many people gasped, in the past two years, Jinzhou Town had only a few thousand troops, and at the most it was only about 15,000.

This direct expansion of 10,000 is not only surprising, but also a little more unexpected.

Luo Sanjie asked, "Why did you suddenly increase so many soldiers and horses?" And are they all picked from the Thirteen Mountains Righteous Army? ”

"After half a year of polishing, the Thirteen Mountains Righteous Army has developed courage and willpower."

Yang Chengying explained: "This is a good soldier, and it is a pity not to recruit." In addition, the situation outside has changed. If you want to make new achievements, you have to train a sizable team. ”

Several people nodded their heads in agreement.

Because the reality has been placed in front of him, Houjin has made great efforts this time to build a new city in the Gaizhou area and build piers.

They were like chains, trying to stop Yang Chengying's pace north.
