So although Liu Haojia doesn't want to get involved, he must help Shen Shixing stabilize the front. Because if he can't stabilize it, it is easy to form a party struggle and completely destroy the situation he just created! So he has been secretly stabilizing the court situation with the tacit understanding between him and Shen Shixing! At the same time, the two of them staged a drama of competition in the court from time to time, but they concealed most of the civil officials.
However, Emperor Wanli refused to accept Liu Haojia's opinion, and was eager to gather a group of courtiers for his own use! But what I didn't expect was that those officials were quite consistent in their attitude towards Emperor Wanli! Although they showed signs of differentiation, they refused to throw themselves at Emperor Wanli, so he touched his nose in vain!
After the incident, Liu Haojia also had to comfort Emperor Wanli who lost his temper. When he calmed down and could listen to the words, Liu Haojia told him that now was not the time to engage in party fighting! Moreover, there are not enough officials who support the opening of the sea, and if you rashly start fighting, you will only consume these forces in vain!
And now is the time when the civil official power is the strongest, and the civil official as an individual will not betray the entire class, which will make the entire family die! So Emperor Wanli, who had touched his nose with a gray nose, finally accepted the reality and began to calm down. And Liu Haojia also began to train the new army of the Fengtai battalion wholeheartedly.
However, in order not to provoke a backlash from all sides, the number of the new army has never changed, and has always remained around 100,000. But their equipment has changed greatly from the earliest beginning, and their combat effectiveness is not the same!
First of all, the number of cavalry has been increased to a certain extent, which gives the new army a greater ability to maneuver and strike. The second is that the proportion of mules and horses in the army has increased! This has given a powerful boost to the army's baggage transport.
At the same time, Liu Haojia also arranged for people to develop a number of artillery trucks. It is the combination of small artillery into the vehicle. When marching in peacetime, it is mixed with the baggage vehicles, and once something happens, it can be directly organized with the baggage vehicles to form a defense line and become a support point on the defense line!
In addition, the number of artillery pieces has increased dramatically, which has further increased the density of firepower. Of course, the cost of the whole army has also become greater! Therefore, after Liu Haojia returned to Beijing, except for the occasional appearance to quarrel with Shen Shixing, he was almost invisible in the court! However, he has been secretly influencing the situation of the court through Jinyiwei, because he knows that the three major campaigns that are about to bring down the Wanli Dynasty are coming soon!
The three major expeditions of Wanli pointed out that during the Wanli period of Shenzong, three large-scale military operations were carried out in the northwest and southwest frontiers of the Ming Dynasty and Korea, namely the Battle of Ningxia in which Li Rusong pacified the Mongol rebellion, and the Korean Battle in which Li Rusong and Magui resisted the invasion of the Japanese Toyotomi Hideyoshi regime. Li Hualong pacified the Battle of Banzhou, where Yang Yinglong, the Tusi of Miao Territory, rebelled.
These three major expeditions completely emptied the treasury of the Wanli Dynasty, so many historians in later generations said that they died in Wanli! But in this era with Liu Haojia, things have changed a little!
Under the dual role of Liu Haojia's life to make money and crack down on civil officials, the annual income of the Wanli Dynasty is much more abundant than when Zhang Juzheng was located! But Liu Haojia also clearly understands that the treasury will still be overwhelmed after these three major battles!
If you want to describe it, it can only be said that it has changed from being unclothed to only a long shirt cover! It's just that the face looks a little better, but it's still cold to death when the cold wind blows! Therefore, in his opinion, the top priority is to defeat them quickly at the beginning of the matter, and not let the war drag on for a long time! So, he's made a lot of plans for this situation!
For the Banzhou Yang family, he just said one word, kill! This hereditary toast is simply a cancer of the daimyo! They don't pay taxes to the Ming Dynasty, and they continue to oppress their own people. At the same time, it is very united in the internal cohesion! It's cruel to the outside!
Only when they are scared and hurt will these toasts be honest. By the way, implement the strategy of changing the land and returning to the stream, and take the opportunity to build a road in the southwest to lead to Myanmar! If a road to the Indian Ocean can be obtained in Myanmar, the entire southwest region will be easily revitalized!
As for the worship in the northwest, Liu Haojia hates it deeply! This kind of person completely belongs to the local military head, and what he thinks about all day long is to dominate one side and not say anything, and he also listens to the propaganda of the central government! And those civil officials have no way to deal with such people, they can only raise tigers!
In particular, these people have a severing connection with Muslims, so if they are allowed to make it bigger, it will be even more detrimental to the rule of the Northwest Territories! Especially in the northwest, the Hui and Han are fighting fiercely, so they can't let them make trouble!
As for North Korea, Liu Haojia has never made up his mind how to deal with it? His original idea was to take the opportunity to erase North Korea and completely incorporate it into the territory of the Ming Dynasty! You must know that at that time, the king of North Korea had already taken his ministers to the territory of Daming to kneel and beg for annexation, and they already felt that there was no hope of recovering Korea!
It's just that I don't know what Emperor Wanli and the hundred officials thought at that time, and they actually sent troops and money to help Korea restore the country, without the benefit of taking a penny! What an admirable spirit of internationalism!
However, Liu Haojia also knows that this method is definitely facing a lot of opposition! First of all, we have to face the pressure within the Ming court! Many officials will definitely hold on to the tablet of Confucius and talk about what ethics and morals to show their existence! As for whether what they do is good for the country or not, they don't care!
The second is the counterattack of the North Koreans! Although their king's decision was attached, their ministers and citizens did not necessarily agree! Some of them are patriots who truly love North Korea, and they most likely want North Korea to be a permanently independent country!
There are also some people who are just nobles who are unwilling to give up their power! You must know that North Korea is just a small land, and once it is integrated into the Ming Dynasty, it will be a province, and their status will plummet! Therefore, they will resolutely oppose it, and even use the power in their hands to induce the Korean people to rise up and oppose it!
Then there is the question of how the Ming and the North Koreans get along. In the eyes of the Ming people, the internal attachment of North Korea is equivalent to poor relatives to take refuge, and it is inevitable that they will look at the North Koreans with a sense of superiority. And the North Koreans naturally don't want to be looked down upon, so the contradictions between the two sides will definitely be very big!
As for the last issue, it is the problem of cultural integration, and this problem is precisely the problem that Liu Haojia is least worried about. Because North Korea imitates China in everything, known as Little China!
