Chapter 181: The Supreme Decision-making Meeting Makes a Decision on Liaodong

Tu Yimo's pupils contracted rapidly, and he looked incredulous.

Burst!

The long knife cut off Toyimo's head like a streamer, and a stream of blood splattered high, and Toyimo's head rolled to the ground.

No one thought that Tu Yimo was a very powerful leader in Jianzhou Jurchen, and he was beheaded by the generals of the Ming army with just one face.

"The leader is dead!"

Tu Yimo's subordinates looked at this scene in disbelief, and suddenly the whole person muttered incredulously as if his soul had been drained.

"It's too weak!"

Tie Xiangshan's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, but he found that the strength of the other party was far lower than expected, but after thinking about it, this was just a nobody of the insignificant Jianzhou Jurchen tribe after all.

Tu Yimo's eyes widened, as if he heard Tie Xiangshan's heart, and at this moment he wanted to shout out his surname of Aixin Jueluo, he was Dong Shan's second son!

Kill!

Seeing Tiexiang Mountain beheading off Tu Yimo's head, the soldiers on the Ming army's side increased greatly, and they slaughtered these Jianzhou in this narrow valley.

Burst! Burst! Burst!

Although the power of the big long knife was amazing, in terms of killing efficiency, it was not as efficient as the light Xuefeng knife, and the three hundred S.H.I.E.L.D. BATTALION HOLDING THE SNOW MAPLE KNIFE DIRECTLY POUNCED ON THE JIANZHOU JURCHEN CAVALRY, FRANTICALLY HARVESTING THE LIVES OF THESE PEOPLE.

How so?

The Jianzhou Jurchen dared to provoke Da Ming naturally had two brushes, but after the blade slashed at the heavy armor on the soldiers of the S.H.I.E.L.D. battalion, they suddenly muttered in shock.

Affected by the Ming Dynasty's ban on iron, the quality of their knives has declined significantly, and now they find that their knives are all failing, and even some knives are directly broken.

Burst! Burst! Burst!

Before they could recover from the shock, the soldiers of the S.H.I.E.L.D. battalion had already launched a frantic counterattack, and the big long knives or snow maple knives in their hands slashed over one after another.

For a while, blood splattered up, and soon it stained the narrow valley with only some weeds, and a strong smell of blood permeated.

Five hundred heavy armor against two hundred Jianzhou Jurchens in the war zone, plus the A.H.I.E.L.D. battalion has the best equipment, not only firmly occupies the upper hand, but can even be said to be a one-sided slaughter.

If the soldiers of the S.H.I.E.L.D. battalion would have had lingering fears about blood earlier, but after nearly half a year of training, coupled with this battle, they have also transformed into Predators.

If you want to keep the peace of the Ming Dynasty and let the people on the border of Liaodong live and work in peace and contentment, only killing can make these Jianzhou Jurchens frightened, and only killing can pay tribute to the souls of those in China.

"Spare your life, we surrender!"

"Spare your life, please spare your life, we surrender!"

"As long as you let us go, we promise that we will never commit another crime in the future!"

……

The remaining thirty or so Jianzhou Jurchens saw that most of the dead and wounded on their side knew that there was no way to escape now, so they threw down their weapons and begged for mercy.

Shout!

Iron Elephant Mountain bent his bow and arrows and shot directly, but he showed his attitude with his actions.

Burst! Burst! Burst!

The Jianzhou Jurchens, who have now dropped their weapons, and the soldiers of the S.H.I.E.L.D. battalion followed Tiexiang Mountain with bows and shots.

Before they set out on the expedition, they clearly knew that they did not need to be taken prisoner this time, and in the face of these Jianzhou Jurchens who wanted to surrender, they immediately killed all of them mercilessly.

Rebellion and rebellion, history has long proven this.

Now spare these people, once these people are given a chance, it will be the people of the eastern border of Daming and Liao who will suffer. Only by following the instructions of Emperor Chenghua and eliminating its species can this problem be solved forever.

With the death of Tu Yimo, the team led by Tu Yimo was completely annihilated, and his subordinates were even wrapped in dumplings, and this operation against Huluyuan was declared a victory.

Zhang Yong looked at this peculiar grassland and looked at the corpse of the Jianzhou Jurchen who was killed by his side, and he also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally lived up to His Majesty's love.

The news of Tu Yimo's death, and his tribe being almost wiped out by the Ming army, soon spread throughout Jianzhou.

No one thought that the Ming army would suddenly appear on their territory, and even slaughtered all the Tuoyi Mo troops with lightning speed.

It's just that who is to blame for this matter, not to mention their ungrateful behavior back then, and now someone from the Tuyi Mo Department has gone to harass the Liaodong border of the Ming Dynasty, which undoubtedly found a legitimate reason for the Ming army to send troops.

Jianzhou Left Guard, General Ledger.

Although the people of Jianzhou Wei are scattered, they have always maintained close information exchanges, and the news of the total annihilation of the Tuyi Mo Department has reached here.

Tarro was a sturdy little old man, of medium stature, with piercing eyes, long braids coiled behind his head, and dressed in traditional Jurchen attire.

When he heard the news, his whole brain was buzzing.

He is the eldest son of Dong Shan, although his father Dong Shan was killed by the Ming army, but he is very aware of the times and continues to call Ming Court father. Although the official position granted by the Ming court was demoted from the commander of the Jianzhou Left Guard to the commander of the Jianzhou Left Guard, he was still the leader of the Jianzhou Left Guard after all.

Due to his hard work that year, his official position was later promoted from the commander of the Jianzhou Left Guard to the commander of the Jianzhou Left Guard, but because they frequently plundered Liaodong, he was once again conscripted by Emperor Chenghua.

Tuo Luo is not young, so he doesn't have much ambition, plus he has experienced the two crossings of the Ming court's army, but he knows that their tribe does not have the strength to confront the Ming court at all.

Fortunately, the civil official group within the Ming court has always longed for the blessing of peace in Gongheng, and has sent some silver taels to Liaodong to make points over the years, and the governor of Liaodong, Ma Wensheng and Liu Xiao, have taken good care of their Jianzhou Jurchens, even if the people under their command go to Liaodong to loot, they will turn a blind eye.

It was thought that after the new emperor ascended the throne, the relationship between the two sides would be restored to normal.

The change in things was unexpected, last year's Chaohe and this year's tribute were beaten back, and the new emperor obviously had an attitude of disgust towards their Jianzhou Nuzhen.

Now, almost without warning, the Ming court sent a large army to suddenly go out to fight, encircling and suppressing his brother's tribe in one fell swoop.

"What does Ming Ting mean by this?"

"It seems to be because our people looted Liaodong!"

"It's all the people below who are robbing it, what does it have to do with us?"

……

The leaders of several tribes gathered under the general ledger, and they were very angry at the sudden attack of the Ming court.

Although some people explained that the people below did it, many people knew very well in their hearts that this matter was inseparable from them, and the reason for the Ming court to send the army was very legitimate.

Of course, if they were called over to reprimand them like the former Liaodong Governor Ma Wensheng or Liu Xiao, that would be the result they were most happy to see.

"The looting of Liaodong is not actually about who did it, but about beating us today!"

"We still have the threat of Haixi Jurchen and Savage Jurchen in the north now, so what should we do?"

"What else can I do? If the Ming army dares to kill our general account, let's retreat east to see if they can afford it! ”

……

Although there are also two factions here, the main battle and the main peace, everyone knows that they can't collide head-on with Daming, even if they are ready to evacuate the tunnel.

Combined with previous experience, their greatest advantage is their ability to maneuver. An army like Emperor Chenghua is naturally invincible, but they can evacuate, so as to allow as many people as possible to escape the encirclement and suppression.

The Ming Dynasty army this time is obviously smaller than the previous two times, and it only needs to avoid the edge for the time being, and then you can escape.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the war in Liaodong has been transmitted back to the capital, and the capital suddenly exploded like a pot.

"Isn't this nonsense? Why is there another war? ”

"yes, why did you fight again?"

"If you fight well, you should give those robbers a little color!"

……

The sudden disappearance of the S.H.I.E.L.D. camp attracted the attention of people with a heart, and after learning that the S.H.I.E.L.D. camp was sent to Liaodong to fight the Jurchens, the scholars and people in the capital expressed their opinions one after another.

It's just that this is the world of scholars after all, and the concept of scholars has always been the blessing of peace and prosperity, and it is enough to have a wife and concubine and good food and wine, so the wind direction of the capital is still more vocal against the war.

West Garden, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

Sixteen chairs have been placed here in order, and sixteen important ministers are here to participate in the discussion of the war in Liaodong, and the person presiding over the meeting is naturally Zhu Youji.

"The Jianzhou Jurchen did not stick to a corner, and it is not easy to eliminate its species!"

"If you want Liaodong to be truly peaceful, there is one thing that is easy, but we have to find a way to do it after all!"

"The preparation for this expedition is insufficient, and the grain and grass in Liaodong are indeed limited, so we have to think long-term to exterminate the left guard of Jianzhou!"

……

Unlike the endless debates in the outside world, now officials such as Ma Wensheng, Xu Pu and Ye Qi who yearn for the blessings of peace have been cleared out of the court, and the current important ministers are here to seriously give advice.

This war against the left guard of Jianzhou, not to mention that it is not a big battle, and now it is for the sake of the stability of the Liaodong border, naturally no one will dare to jump out to oppose it.

"If we want to solve the problem of stability in Liaodong forever, then we must ensure that Liaodong has the strength to conquer the Jurchen tribe at any time. In addition to the strong soldiers and horses, when we start to solve the problem of grain and grass reserves in Liaodong, only when there is enough grain and grass can we have both offense and defense! Bai Ang, the new left attendant of the military department, seemed very positive, and immediately threw out his own opinions.

He was a jinshi in the first year of Tianshun, and when he first served as a like minister, he was promoted to the right attendant of the Nanjing Military Department by quelling Liu Tong's rebellion, and now he was promoted to the left attendant of the military department by Zhu Youji.

From a nursing home to the center of the imperial court, this is undoubtedly a big promotion.

Whether it is his loyalty to the monarch all the time, or his gratitude to Zhu Youzhi for his promotion, he is now thinking hard about the war in Liaodong very carefully.

"Bai Shilang is right, the grain and grass in Liaodong is indeed the biggest problem at present! This time, we went out of the war to prevent the war, and we were subject to the lack of military rations, even if we were strong and strong, it would not be good to continue to go deeper! Li Yu, the secretary of the ministry, agreed with Bai Ang's point of view, and even echoed the authenticity.

Jia Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, knows that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and he also said with emotion: "This time, our army is trapped in military rations and cannot surround the left guard of Jianzhou, which is really unwilling!" ”

Many people don't understand that soldiers in peacetime also need to eat and drink, why the military rations needed for fighting wars in ancient times increased sharply, and even an astronomical amount.

In fact, there are many reasons involved here, but the main one is the quality of the combatants and horses.

In peacetime, it is self-sufficient to raise soldiers in the locality, even if the soldier is hungry for a day, it does not matter. It's just that when you go out on an expedition, you need to trek through mountains and rivers, and even have to march in a hurry, if you are still on an empty stomach, then it is no different from giving people heads.

In normal times, horses can live a day by eating some hay, but war horses need to be fed with a mixture of forage and grain, so as to ensure their physical strength during battle.

The most important thing is that the army is engaged in long-distance operations, and except for a few days of surprise attacks, it is impossible to carry a large amount of military rations with them, and these grains need to be transported by logistics personnel.

In this era of underdeveloped transportation, grain transportation has always been the biggest problem in warfare, so it is recorded: Hantong Southwest Yidao, tens of thousands of authors, thousands of miles to bear the burden of grain, the rate of more than ten minutes to a stone.

It is precisely like this, although Liaodong has a grain transportation route that has been set up earlier, but Liaodong is short of grain.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the top priority is to solve the Liao salt and fill the Guangning warehouse! Today's Huai salt has achieved very good results, if Liao salt can be efficient Huai salt, grain merchants will definitely rush to it! "The head of the household, Li Si, realized that it was still the problem of the household department itself, and even offered advice.

The Guangning warehouse in Liaodong also solved the problem of military rations by opening China and France, but the attraction of Liaodong salt was not as good as Huai salt, and it was still insufficient in the orthodox years, and it began to decay in the later period of Chenghua.

Taking the 22nd year of Chenghua as an example, Liaodong needed 960,000 stone of military rations, and the total amount of grain allocated by the garrison and household department was 530,000 stone, and there was still a shortage of more than 400,000 stones.

The household department repeatedly solicited investment in the middle of the bank, but because there was no response, they had to compromise with the salt merchants, sell them salt for silver, and finally use the silver to buy grain.

As for whether there is a cat here, there is no way to verify it now, and it is not a problem to be solved at present. It's just that the opening of China and France was sabotaged by officials and businessmen earlier, resulting in a sharp decrease in the grain stock in Quang Ninh Cang, and it is no longer able to support the army to fight in the fortress.

"This strategy is very good, so that the military rations of Liaodong can be guaranteed!"

"If Liaodong's army has enough food, then you can use troops once and for all!"

"Our Daming border tends to be on the defensive, and it will be trapped by military rations, and the minister seconded this policy!"

……

After hearing Li Si's proposal, Du Ming, the secretary of the Criminal Department, knew that it was a crucial move to ensure the food problem in Liaodong, and immediately expressed his attitude.

Zhu Youzhu originally wanted to hand over Wang Yue to rectify Liaoyan, but now it seems that it is not good to wait any longer, so he looked at the important ministers here and said: "In this case, let's set up the governor of Liaodong and take charge of the salt administration." If Liaodong can't solve the problem of salt, you can increase the Huai salt introduction to ensure that Guangning is full of salt and grain, but this relationship is related to the stability of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, and you can't go unless you can do it! ”

This......

The officials present couldn't help but look at each other, but they knew that the emperor wanted to appoint the governor of Liaodong from among them, not local officials.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to share the worries for Your Majesty for the Governor of Liaodong, and I ask Your Majesty for your permission!" It was at this moment that a loud voice petitioned on the spot.
