Chapter 44 President Li Zicheng

'Drop~~~'

Fingerprint locks are printed on your fingers, and the thick safe opens in response.

Li Yunze took out a thick stack from the inside, with information about Houjin.

Some of these materials were collected by him from the modern world network, but more of them were sent by the latent brocade guards from Houjin.

Houjin rose very quickly, and basically occupied Liaodi in just a few decades.

But the two hundred years of hard work of the Ming Dynasty is even more profound.

An old institution like Jinyiwei, even in the case of the complete defeat of the Ming army, still left many hidden piles.

These dark piles, which have been passed down for many generations, are still fulfilling their mission.

The information they send out is very detailed, military strength, external exchanges, internal attrition, and so on.

Li Yunze picked out the part about the grain stored and consumed by Houjin, sat on the imperial table and carefully checked it, and also made numerical statistics on his mobile phone computer from time to time.

After that, he consulted the data on the North Korean tribute and came to a conclusion.

"Houjin is short of food."

Big data shows that in the future, Jin's current population consumption, as well as the calculation of grain storage plus field harvest, will have to eat soil when the harvest is not harvested next year.

As for the grain smuggled by the Jin merchants, unless they can increase the amount of grain out of the customs by more than five times, it will definitely not be enough.

If this is really the case, then the whole town of Datong will simply put up an anti-flag.

The drought during the Xiaoice River did not only affect Daming. The whole world has been severely affected.

Europa, on its part, was able to rely on plundering the world to maintain supplies.

Daming's volume is large enough, and he can also grit his teeth and hold on.

But on Houjin's side, there is no choice but to rob.

In the era of old slaves, it is very likely that the consumption was reduced by slaughtering the Han Chinese.

Millions of Han people in Liaodong died under the Tartar knife in this way.

But Huang Taiji has great ambitions, and he will not do such a self-destructive thing.

In other words, he will inevitably send troops to plunder.

There are indeed records in history books, but Li Yunze will not rely on all history books, he believes in accurate intelligence and data analysis.

"Where can you go to grab it?"

He got up and took back the information about Houjin's foreign affairs activities, and Li Yunze checked it one by one.

Houjin is in the land of four wars, and the strategic situation is actually very poor.

The wild maidens in the north are really poor, and they have nothing to gain except for grabbing some people who can consume food.

North Korea in the east has just grabbed it, and Huang Taiji really wants to win over North Korea as a junior brother, so it is impossible to grab it again so soon.

To the south is the Ming Dynasty, and the most suitable passage is the Liaodong Corridor, but unfortunately it has been operated like an iron cylinder, and there are strong walled fortresses everywhere.

It's okay to pull it slowly, but it's too much time to lose.

Kong Youde had not yet defected to Houjin with the firearms soldiers trained by Sun Yuanhua, and it was extremely difficult to attack the city without artillery.

In the end, the only choice was Lin Dan Khan in the west.

"Fight Lin Dan Khan first, integrate and win over the forces of the various tribes in the grassland, bypass the Ningjin defense line and go south to enter the pass and plunder." Putting down the lot of information in his hand, Li Yunze breathed a long sigh of relief, "Since we have won over the Mongols, we can grab the population and materials to survive the famine, and we can also attack the Ming Dynasty and enhance our prestige." Sure enough, Huang Taiji, as in history, has no other choice. ”

"The strategy of the opponent is clear." Li Yunze smiled: "This is the first move." ”

When Daming faced Houjin, there was basically no strategy at all, it was a strong defense, and when people came over, they would go to the decisive battle of the head iron.

All the strategic initiative is given to each other.

For these, it can only be said that the Wenchen of the Ming Dynasty has no strategic vision.

Especially the sand sculpture like Yuan Chonghuan actually killed Mao Wenlong, who was held back behind the enemy. Compared with Huang Taiji, it is really not worthy of lifting shoes.

Even Sun Chengzong is dedicated to defense.

They did counterattack once, but every time they counterattacked, the whole army collapsed, and after that, they gradually did not dare to do so.

Their counteroffensive was not to seize the strategic initiative, because when they counterattacked, they all went straight to Shenyang City, seeking a direct decisive battle.

The strategic initiative is to mobilize the enemy, and I can hit wherever I want, striking at weak links, not at the head.

"You can't do it, I'll have to do it myself." Li Yunze, who put all the information back in the safe, stretched his waist, "You can prepare now." ”

With Li Yunze's series of operations, Daming's internal environment at this time can be said to be unprecedentedly good.

The rogues were suppressed, the natural disasters were alleviated to a certain extent, and the local tyrants, gentry, and civil officials suffered a heavy blow and were unable to hold him back. The people were also given a chance to breathe.

This is the best window of time for the decisive battle with Houjin.

If it drags on any longer, it should be Houjin who takes the initiative to come over and put the battlefield in the hinterland of Daming.

Shenji camp village on the outskirts of Beijing.

Cao Bianjiao appreciated that when the Longxiang Army and the Shenji Battalion were reorganized and expanded, Li Zicheng, who was promoted to the rank of Qianzong, was drinking with his nephew Li Guo.

Li Zicheng, who picked up the wine glass and drained it in one gulp, asked in a deep voice, "You know the notice issued by the army, right?" ”

"I know, it's been spread all over the army." With Li Zicheng taking care of him, he has already done the total Li Guo nodded vigorously, "Long live to send troops to fight against the Tartars." ”

"That's not what you're talking about!" Li Zicheng's eyes widened, "I am asking you, what do you think about the matter of Long Live Decree to move the town to Liaodi." ”

Before the war with the Tartars, Li Yunze had already begun to think about the aftermath of the war.

He ordered to select a group of generals to serve as the garrison of Liaodi after the war.

"If you sign up voluntarily, your success will be promoted." Picking up a piece of pig's head meat and throwing it in his mouth, Li Zicheng chewed it, "At the time of the war, if there is another meritorious service." It is not impossible to find a guard and be an official of a thousand households. ”

"No, no."

Li Guo refused without hesitation, "Don't say it's a thousand households, even if you are the commander of the guard, you won't be trapped in that bitter cold place for the rest of your life." How can there be a bustling and lively capital. ”

"The capital is big, it's not easy to live." Li Zicheng, who stopped his chopsticks, sighed with emotion: "It's okay to say in the army, you have food, clothing, housing and transportation." But as soon as he left the camp and entered the city, there was not enough silver in his pocket. ”

Han Jin'er, who came over with a plate of dishes, put the dishes on the table and sat down directly on the side, "Don't be nonsense here, if you want to go to Liaodi to be a commander, then you can go by yourself." I will never go with you to drink wind and eat snow. ”

"You know a lot about women." Li Zicheng does have this thought, he is now President Qian, and if he takes the initiative to sign up, he will almost certainly become the commander of a certain health station.

Commander of the guard, this is a beautiful thing he couldn't have imagined when he was a postman before.

"It's a woman's family, and it's better than you can see."

Han Jin'er poured herself a glass of wine with a big grin: "This Jingying is a place where no number of people in the world can get in. If you really have the ability, after going into battle, you will kill the prince of Baylor, and be a chief soldier and be awarded a knighthood, then you will be the glory of the ancestors. ”

The upset Li Zicheng was too lazy to quarrel with the woman's family, and the Tatar Lord Baylor was not a cat or dog on the side of the road, how could it be so easy to cut.

While speaking, a sergeant on leave from the same village knocked on the door and shouted, "The camp has been rewarded!" ”

The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then they all got up with joy on their faces.

Han Jin'er went straight to the corner of the courtyard, "Take the cart with you." ”

Although the training in the new army is strict, and they practice almost every day, the treatment is really good.

The full amount of money is never given to waste paper, not to mention, and the rewards of the New Year's holidays have never been broken.

At this time, the army is about to be sent to Liaodi, and the reward for opening is naturally indispensable.

In order to be able to solve the Tartars in one battle, Li Yunze was ruthless, and after the reorganization of the three major battalions of the Beijing camp, among the nearly 80,000 troops, even the recruits had a reward of 20 taels of silver.

When the whole army came down, the little two million taels of silver went out.

The amount of silver that the Ming court can receive in a year is only four million taels.

In addition, there are cloth, salt, grain, meat, wine and other materials.

Li Zicheng and Li Guo's rewards were piled up with carts.

Han Jin'er, who came over, picked up a piece of cloth and smiled from ear to ear, "This cloth is really strong, and the pattern is beautiful." Knitting such a dense cloth, when you get it to the shops in the city, you can collect as much as you want. ”

The quality of the cloth produced by the modern textile factory is of course far superior to that of the Ming Dynasty.

"It's still this kind of white salt, and the price is about to catch up with green salt."

"I haven't finished eating the rice that I sent a while ago, and I sent so much."

"This half of the pork is really fat, and I don't know whose pig can raise it so big."

"If you don't drink this wine, I'll take it to a restaurant in the city and sell it."

Listening to Han Jin'er chattering there, Li Guo smiled and pointed to the outside of the camp, "Auntie, don't be so troublesome." Out of the camp, there are many people waiting to buy those restaurants and cloth villages. ”

The quality of the cloth in the modern world is good, and the quality of the salt is far superior to that of the long reed, not to mention the rice, which is all polished rice.

As for pork or something, it is all frozen meat purchased by Li Yunze, and the price is not expensive.

Needless to say, the sake is a high-quality sake ordered from a distillery, and it is very popular here in Daming.

The Ming businessmen who know how to look for business opportunities, every time they come to Beijing to give rewards, they will gather outside the camp to shout for purchases.

"You can do it." Li Zicheng waved his hand magnificently: "Use it yourself or sell it, it's up to you." ”

Han Jin'er stretched out her hand with horizontal eyes, "Take it." ”

"What?"

"Silver!" She sneered again and again, "Don't think that you don't know that when you are resting, you will go to the city to play with silver, bring it." ”

"It's a banquet, how can I not go if my colleagues invite me."

Impatiently took out twenty taels of silver and stuffed it into Han Jin'er's hand, and without waiting for her to ask for it again, he instructed Li Guo, "Accompany your aunt to send things home, and leave first with military affairs." ”

"Twenty taels? You're a thousand, at least a hundred taels! ”

Han Jin'er wanted to chase after him, but Li Zicheng had worked as a postman after all, and his steps were extremely fast, and he had already run through the school field and entered the barracks.

Even military dependents are not allowed to enter the territory over there.

Han Jin'er stomped her feet angrily, "You wait!" Don't even think about going to the kang this month! ”

Li Zicheng met Gao Yigong on his side, and the two looked at each other.

"Drunken Moon Tower? Little pink? ”

"Let's go!"

The soldiers of the Beijing camp, who have been practicing daily drills for a long time and bathing twice for ten days, have been given a period of vacation for taking turns to repair, at least five days per person.

Wait until the end of the holiday, and the sergeant returns to the camp.

Li Yunze went to the Taimiao Temple here to pray for blessings, and then on September 29, the second year of Chongzhen, he personally led the soldiers and horses to the north and drove the expedition in person.
