Chapter 416: Musk Moon's Melancholy
In order to get together, the Jurchens attacked the grain and grass in the Dalian area. It took nearly two years to prepare. The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. If there is no sufficient food and grass, what kind of war will there be?
The surrounding area of Jinzhou City has long been beaten bare by the Jurchens and the grass valley. If the Jurchens want to eat food on the spot, it is simply impossible. The amount of grain and grass needed to attack Jinzhou City is not a small amount.
In addition, Jinzhou City is a giant city. There is no shortage of food and grass in the city, and the general soldier Tian Yonggang and more than 60,000 soldiers defending the city are willing to live and die with Jinzhou City.
Even if the Jurchens can take Jinzhou City, they have to shed their skin. The defenders of Jinzhou City were prepared for the worst. Even if the Jurchens took Jinzhou City. The price paid is also staggering.
I have to prepare, and 200,000 lives will be filled. The 200,000 people here are not ordinary people. At the very least, they must have the quality of the infantry attacking the Lingbao of the Liaodong Bureau.
To attack a giant city like Jinzhou City, a battle loss ratio of one to three is the least. Therefore, if the Jurchens want to take Jinzhou City, it is not the best strategy to attack it.
The best way, of course, is to surrender without a fight. Use strong force and force deterrence to break the will of the defenders of Jinzhou City.
Now the Jurchens have just suffered defeat in the Dalian area. Apparently there are no such conditions.
When Yan Yushu returns, the Jurchens will definitely have low morale. It is obviously not the best time to attack Jinzhou City. So this year, the Jurchens will not and have no conditions to attack Jinzhou City.
Therefore, the Great Zheng Dynasty had the opportunity to build a mausoleum around Jinzhou City this year. This required the imperial court to hurry up and build a mausoleum. This requires not only a lot of labor, but also a lot of silver.
Li Miao analyzed the court of the Great Zheng Dynasty, it should be difficult to do this. However, Li Miao did not dare to draw conclusions. After all, it means a lot to do this. The merit is in the present, and the benefit is in the future.
It is a great temptation for any important minister. Once this is done, it will definitely last forever. The ministers of this era, in the choice of fame and fortune. Reputation is often more important.
Famous through the ages, worthy of enjoying the temple. It is the ultimate pursuit of many ministers. Fame and fortune! It's a pity that those who can do this are among the ministers of the dynasties. Almost all of them are rare, and there are very few of them.
People of this era firmly believe. When people die, they go to another world. But it needs to be offered with the incense of this world. Ordinary people enjoy the incense for future generations. That's why there are "three unfilial pieties." No queen is greater".
This shows the importance of succession. Breaking the heir also means that when you go to the other world, you will lose the incense. That's why Li Yuanwai, Jia Zhen, Lin Ruhai and others care so much about their heirs.
Of course, the top incense must be the incense of the Taimiao. So Li Miao couldn't decide. The possibility of the imperial court building a mausoleum fort around Jinzhou City. With such a huge lure of interest, anything is possible.
The current Jinzhou City is already an isolated city. Tian Yonggang and 60,000 soldiers were brave with blood. But how long can it last on just a breath of blood? It can be said that the successor is weak and precarious.
If the imperial court does not want to find a way, it will completely solve the problem of Jinzhou City. The fall of Jinzhou City is a matter of time. Maybe it won't be long. It may only last for two or three years at most.
Therefore, only by building a mausoleum can the hidden dangers of Jinzhou City be completely solved. The construction of the mausoleum is not just a strategic success. Financially, it is not a loss.
The construction of the mausoleum can be said to be a one-time investment that will benefit in the long run. It may not be a few years before the imperial court will be able to recoup its investment.
As long as the mausoleum fort is built around Jinzhou City. So that Jinzhou City's food can achieve self-sufficiency. In the future, there will be no need to transport the grain from Jinzhou City through the Guannei. This can save a lot of money every year.
The key is that the people in the surrounding mausoleums are the solid foundation of Jinzhou City. It not only provides cheap grain and grass for Jinzhou City, but more importantly, it is the guarantee of Jinzhou City's soldiers. Otherwise, Jinzhou City is a lonely city.
Iron battalions, flowing soldiers. There is not enough to replenish the troops. No matter how powerful the general is, he can't recruit it. It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice! This is also Tian Yonggang's most helpless question.
Outside the current Jinzhou City. A few years ago, the Jurchens hit the grass valley and hit a barren land. Grain needs to be purchased from the customs and then transported to Jinzhou City. Naturally, the price is surprisingly expensive.
In addition, there is the problem of soldiers, which cannot be solved. Jinzhou City has been in the city for many years, and there are no new soldiers to replenish. Obviously, the best way to solve these two problems. It is to build a mausoleum.
Besides, with the current financial resources of the imperial court, silver is really not a problem. Even if the court is still short of silver, you can borrow it from the Shunfeng ticket number! Now it depends on the courage of the imperial court.
The key depends on whether the opinions of the cabinet and the emperor are consistent. That's the crux of the matter. If the cabinet and the emperor's opinion are different. None of that is to be discussed.
The construction of the mausoleum is definitely a systematic project. There are still many problems involving various aspects. The construction of the mausoleum required materials, a large number of craftsmen, and a large number of immigrants around Jinzhou City.
This requires the opinions of the top level of the imperial court, with a high degree of unity. There must be no internal friction. Otherwise, the mausoleum might as well not be repaired. Otherwise, it will definitely be a loss of labor and money, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Once the mausoleum fort around Jinzhou City was completed. Arrange a certain number of escorts in the mausoleum. If the Jurchens come to fight the grass valley again, there will be nothing cheap to make. It is definitely impossible for the Jurchens to catch chickens and eat rice.
Of course, the mausoleum fort in Jinzhou City wants to achieve the effect of the Liaodong Bureau. There is definitely still a long way to go. It's easy to build a mausoleum. The combat power of the guards in the mausoleum is much worse.
The combat power of the guards in the mausoleum wants to reach the level of the guards of the Liaodong Bureau. Even more unlikely. And that's just one aspect of the story. The key is the system of the mausoleum. Can it motivate the fighting spirit of the guards?
Actually, it's just watching. Whether the rights and obligations of the guards in the mausoleum are equal. Whether the enthusiasm of the guards can be fully mobilized. The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.
If the Great Zheng Dynasty does not give the guards, it will be very generous. See the essence through the phenomenon. Jinzhou City was eventually built into a mausoleum. can only form a confrontation with the Jurchens.
It should not be able to form an absolute advantage like the Liaodong Bureau. Jinzhou City can only imitate the shape of the Liaodong Bureau, but cannot imitate the god of the Liaodong Bureau.
The key depends on the high-level leaders of the Great Zheng Dynasty. How to weigh the stakes, although the Great Zheng Dynasty has never lacked smart people. Capable and wise people are endless.
But they don't know much about the situation in the Liaodong Bureau. Unlike Li Miao, who knows everything about the Liaodong Bureau. You can see through the essence at a glance.
Li Miao estimated that after Jinzhou City was built as a mausoleum, it would only send troops to garrison it. The army of the Great Zheng Dynasty is currently the army of Tian Yonggang and Wang Ziteng. It's passable.
In the future, even if the troops in the mausoleum are all handed over to Tian Yonggang, they will all be under the command of Tian Yonggang. Wouldn't the imperial court send someone to contain and balance!
Obviously, it is impossible for the imperial court not to pay attention to balance. Otherwise, it will not be fun to let Tian Yonggang's tail not fall.
Thinking of this, Li Miao felt that her head hurt. Counting on such a corrupt imperial court to succeed. Apparently somewhat whimsical. Make a poor imitation. As long as the court of the Great Zheng Dynasty does not add to the chaos, it will be fine.
Since there is a way to deal with the dragon qi of the Great Zheng Dynasty. Li Miao's expectations for the Great Zheng Dynasty are much higher. It is hoped that the Great Zheng Dynasty will be able to hold out for a few more years and play a greater role.
Now it seems that Li Miao is still too naïve. A lot of things don't go the way he thinks. Now Li Miao can only take one step at a time. Let's see!
Fortunately, Li Miao actually didn't expect the imperial court to do anything from beginning to end. As for dealing with the Jurchens, Li Miao had already begun to plan.
First of all, there is the containment of the Liaodong Bureau. The Jurchens may not have the courage to make a desperate bet. Even if the Jurchens take Jinzhou City and conquer Shanhaiguan.
Isn't Li Miao still in Huludao, and the 300,000 immigrants on the front line of Chengde Mansion? Plus the support of the Northern Bureau. The strength is only stronger than the Liaodong Bureau, not weaker. And it's not a little bit stronger.
At that time, it will definitely give the Jurchens a huge surprise. However, the Jurchens are the fastest, and it will take two years. to enter! At that time, will Li Miao's northern forces still be afraid of the Jurchens?
Although the field war may not be able to defeat the Jurchens. But with the Grange defense, you are definitely not afraid of the Jurchens. However, Li Miao still hopes that the later the Jurchens enter the customs, the better.
At that time, the Jurchens may not even have the courage to fight. The soldiers who surrender without a fight, and the good ones are also good. In a few years, the Jurchens may not even have the courage to fight with the Northern Bureau.
In the past few years, Li Miao's deployment of the entire Great Zheng Dynasty has been completely completed. There were arrangements for the steppe Tatars, for the Jurchens, and even for the Western powers.
Now Li Miao's forces are developing very well. All that's missing is time. Just give Li Miao a few years. Li Miao was not only able to easily resist foreign enemies and peacefully receive the Great Zheng Dynasty, but also had no problems.
In the face of absolute strength, everything is a floating cloud. Li Miao now has a way to quickly transform into dragon qi. Just wait for your own power to grow quickly.
and other forces have grown to a certain extent. Li Miao only needs to climb up and shout! Looking at the world, who dares not to obey. At that time, the soldiers will be able to take over the Great Zheng Dynasty smoothly.
The study of the Li Mansion is back to the past. Li Shi, Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan and others began to study hard again. The time for the start of the imperial examination is getting closer and closer. Everyone is making the final sprint.
Li Miao suddenly discovered. Waiting in the guest room, Jia Baoyu's maid was replaced again. It's no longer the original Qingwen, it's replaced by Musk Moon.
Li Miao still knows several big girls around Jia Baoyu. Li Miao didn't see joy on Musk Yue's face. Apparently Musk Moon was not happy, and looked preoccupied.
Jia Baoyu is beside him, there are a total of four big girls. In just a few months, Musk Moon is already the third attendant. Thinking of the end of his predecessor and his predecessor. Is it strange that the musk moon can be happy?
Li Miao estimated that Qingwen should have had an accident. Musk Yue is one of the big girls by Jia Baoyu's side. In fact, he has always been the most important assistant to attack people. When the attacker is not in the yard, he is actually a family member.
So the musk moon ability is still quite outstanding. Over the years, it has also been deeply affected by the attack. Now that the attacker is following Shi Lao Taijun, he is doing well. It's not as miserable as outsiders think.
The target of the attack is to leave the house. But because Jia Baoyu got married a few years ago. This year, no maids were released in Rongguo Mansion. So we have to wait until the end of the year.
Fortunately, during the Spring Festival, the attacker was comforted by Li Miao several times. The raiders thought it would be good to stay in Rongguo Mansion. At least it's not difficult to meet Li Miao.
Although the attacker is not now, the chief maid beside Shi Taijun. But the status is not low, what about the monthly case here?
Raiders usually do some errands, which is also the favorite of raiders. Raiders especially like to go to the Li Mansion to run errands. Li Miao will always find such and such reasons to stay for a while.
Naturally, people are happy to do it. So these days, the raiders are quite nourishing.
