All along, it has been limited by strength, as well as the singleness of the combat target.

Yang Chengying rarely divided his troops into several routes, and the number of troops was limited each time.

Last year's battle with Huang Taiji in Anshan was the biggest stroke in the whole army.

This time, Yang Chengying divided into two roads with 60,000 soldiers, which can be regarded as doing his best.

If nothing else, this exit will be an active strategic offensive by the Ming army since it became its ancestor.

And this year, the third year of Chongzhen, the second year of Chongzhen in the original history, there was also a big war that changed the fate of the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty - the change of Jisi.

The wheel of history changed in advance under the fate of fate, but the weak border defense line in the north of the Ming Dynasty has never changed.

Although Yang Chengying could not send troops to defend Jizhen, he also had to stabilize the situation in the north by recovering Daningwei.

This victory is directly related to the fate of the Ming Dynasty......

It's just that Yang Chengying didn't expect that the changes in things were far more complicated than he thought.

The army to leave the fortress has long been determined, but the road map has only been released today.

"Difficulties have been said a lot and practiced a lot. Being so well prepared, I just wanted to do one thing, reduce casualties within the scope of manpower. ”

Yang Chengying's gaze slowly swept over everyone in the hall, "The princess funded the renovation of the Shigu Temple in Jinzhou, but what was enshrined in it was not the Buddha or the Taoist ancestor, but the soldiers who sacrificed their lives and sacrificed their lives for righteousness since the first year of the Apocalypse.

For every person who dies, his name is inscribed. Let them accept the incense of the world, and at the same time remind the world that peace is not easy to come by.

When I die, I will have my name engraved in it, with my comrades and with the people. ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Admission to the shrine is the highest reward for a person's life, and it means that it will last forever.

It is even more glorious to be able to enter the shrine with the coach.

"Since ancient times, no one has died, leaving Dan to take care of the sweat." Yang Chengying clenched his fists and said, "Rank, either the Xian Liang Temple of Shigu Temple, or Daning City." ”

"For the Ming Dynasty, for Your Majesty, for the strategy, we are willing to do our best!"

Everyone greeted Yang Chengying and responded in unison.

"Out of the stopper!"

Yang Chengying clenched his fists and raised them.

"Out of the ......!"

The voice of the arrogant dry clouds echoed in the hall.

In the evening of the same day, Yang Cheng should set up a practice banquet in Jingluo Mansion.

At the banquet, Yang Chengying personally toasted every general in the army who was about to leave the fortress.

On the first day of the fifth month of the third year of Chongzhen, the Liaodong army was divided into two routes, all the way from Dakang Fort and all the way from Gaotai Fort.

But the princess did not see her off, she had already returned to the Golden State.

Going back is a more important thing to do.

After the repair of the Stone Drum Temple was completed, the soldiers who died on the battlefield and in training, and the people who sacrificed to save others, were engraved on wooden plaques.

All the government officials of Jinzhou Prefecture held this wooden plaque engraved with their names and walked into the Stone Drum Temple along the winding mountain road.

In the midst of chanting, they placed the tablets in the shrine and received the incense of the world.

Due to the presence of the princess, the people could not enter the Shigu Temple to mourn.

They were all waiting outside the Stone Drum Temple, and many of them burst into tears.

To be able to enter the Virtuous Ancestral Hall, accept the incense of the world and the sacrifices of future generations, and live a life in vain.

In the temple, Zhu Huixian added oil to the oil lamp in front of the tablet.

Her face was solemn, and the swaying light and shadow of the oil lamp reflected on her face.

For her, who came from a wealthy background, her husband's behavior was really incomprehensible to her. But the thoughts of her husband and the worry about the journey gave birth to a trace of thought in her heart:

O heroic souls who have died bravely, please bless your commander with a victorious start and a safe return.

In the sound of chanting and wooden fish, Zhu Huixian remembered her husband who was marching on horseback.

She silently lit a stick of incense, closed her eyes, and prayed with her heart.

Shenyang, Khan Palace.

Huang Taiji was listening carefully as the merchant from Quang Ninh talked about the information of Liaodong Town.

In fact, neither Huang Taiji nor Yang Chengying, out of their own needs, did not cut off trade between the two sides.

The nobles wanted python satin to show luxury, and the people needed grain and pig iron.

Yang Chengying needed a large sum of silver.

"In this way, Yang Chengying has already stolen the beams and formed his own team."

Huang Taiji gently rubbed his temples with a faint pain, and there was a hint of exhaustion in his low tone.

Rao is the eloquence of Huang Taiji, and in the face of a series of personnel changes, he can't help but feel extremely weak.

"Not only that, but he also came up with a set of rank separation."

The merchant said, "It is to separate the position from the rank, and to pay the salary according to the position and the rank." ”

"I know that, but how did he do it?" Huang Taiji asked.

"At present, we are still soliciting opinions from all parties, and it is tentatively set at 27 levels, starting from the lowest clerk and going all the way to the highest political court, capping at the eighth level.

In other words, the rank is not tied to the position, but the relevant position can only be held at that level. If it is not your turn, you can also enjoy the corresponding level of treatment.

Rewards and punishments are also related to levels, such as adding half a level, or subtracting one level, etc.

The gentlemen in the school, the leaders of the factories under the name of Liaodong Town all enjoy the rank treatment. ”

Hearing this, Huang Taiji figured out that Yang Chengying no longer learned from the Ming Dynasty to separate officials and officials, but put them together to make a level of treatment.

In addition, the grassroots level has also reached the township, and resources such as salt and iron are controlled in their own hands.

This is different from the system of all dynasties, but there are similarities.

"How many people are there?" Huang Taiji asked curiously.

"The pure government position is about 4,383, but counting the management personnel such as Mr. and the salt works, there are at least 5,000 people."

The merchant frowned and thought for a moment, then gave an approximate number.

"Where did he get so many people?" Huang Taiji was taken aback.

"Since he entered Jinzhou, he has opened a school of knowledge, personally compiled teaching materials, spent a lot of money to invite Mr., and later invited foreigners, as well as female foreigners!

And both men and women have to learn, and continue to devote themselves to it. ”

The merchant replied with a smile.

Huang Taiji listened and thought thoughtfully.

Liu Xingzhi on the side looked at it and said with a smile: "Great Khan, don't inquire, you can't learn those things." ”

Since Huang Taiji led the army into Jizhen for the second time, the Liu family brothers have stayed by Huang Taiji's side.

Among them, Liu Xingzhi has the best relationship with Huang Taiji, and he dares to say anything.

"Why do you say that?"

Huang Taiji cheered up and asked in a deep voice.

"Great Khan, the foundation of the Dajin State is the Eight Banners. The purpose of the Eight Banners' participation in the battle was to seize supplies and people to cultivate the land. ”

Liu Xingzhi said bluntly: "Can you ruin the position of the hereditary banner lord and engage in Yang Chengying's set?" Also, do you have that many of them? ”

Huang Taiji was stunned.

It takes a long time to cultivate talents, and even if Huang Taiji is willing, he has to worry about the Eight Banners.

I have just made a decision, so don't cause any more big things.

At this time, Hauge came in a hurry:

"Father Khan, something is wrong! Yang Chengying is out of the ......"
