Chapter 26: Houjin's Secret Agent

Yang Hao had already looked down on life and death, and continued without any disguise.

"The minister is in prison, and he has long heard that the war in Liaodong has been eroded and cannot be controlled."

Zhu Youzhen also did not shy away from it, nodded and said: "Alas! That's right, now Jiannu is strong, and it has even made me not experience a victory in the Ming Dynasty for several years. ”

"Nurhachi is originally a border army of the Ming Dynasty, and he knows our army's tactics well, after the decline of the Li family in Tieling, no one will be able to defeat the Jurchens in the field battle." Yang Hao said with a sigh.

Zhu Youzhen's face was displeased, he came to Yang Hao to find a way, but not to listen to him say frustrating words.

"Now that I have ascended the throne, I want to get rid of the old and innovate and train an elite new army, but it will take a year or two, what can you do to make the Jurchen unable to take advantage of the opportunity to sit big?" Zhu Youzhen asked.

The real strength of the Houjin Nu is that she will become stronger after attacking Mongolia from now on.

The Ming knew that the Jurchens could not defeat the Mongols, but they were powerless to stop it.

Because, the Ming army has become a head-giving existence in the field.

"Your Majesty, the Jurchens are in Liaodong, no matter how strong they are, I'm afraid they won't be able to conquer the Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan lines, right?" Yang Hao asked with some confusion.

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and took out a sketch map of the border defense that he drew by himself.

"Look at it, the current Jurchens have united the Horqin and Khalkha Mongolian tribes, and Lin Dan Khan's territory will be eaten by the Jurchens sooner or later, and I am Ming in these places, but there are many gaps, and it is extremely easy for the Jurchens to break through." Zhu Youzhen pointed to the map and said.

After Yang Hao looked at it, he stroked his beard and thought for a while, and then continued: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is no difficulty in this matter. ”

"Then tell me quickly, how to curb the Jurchen? Now the armies of western Liaoning are useless except for cowering in the city. Zhu Youzhen said.

In history, Zhu Youzhen, as the No. 1 major grievance, threw countless military salaries, grain and grass and reinforcements to the battlefield in eastern Liaodong, so that the warlords in western Liaoning were all eaten and wiped clean one by one.

In this life, Zhu Youzhen will not invest more money in Liaoxi Jiangmen if he is killed.

Wu Sangui and Zu Dashou have countless friends one by one, and they belong to wolf cubs who can't be fed.

"Your Majesty, if you want the Jurchens not to dare to go deeper, then work the North Korean side, I don't know what happened to Mao Wenlong there." Yang Ho said.

Yang Ho, who is in prison, although he can find out a lot of military and political news, is not first-hand after all.

"That's right, Mao Wenlong!"

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but clap his hands and said happily.

Mao Wenlong, the chief military officer of Pingliao in Dongjiang Town, although he also left a lot of black material, no one can deny that Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town has caused great trouble to the Jurchens.

At the very least, the existence of the Ming army in Dongjiang Town made the Later Jin not dare to go deep in western Liaoning on a large scale, nor did they dare to annex Korea.

"Your Majesty, if you can let the Dongjiang Army attack Houjin, you can contain the Jurchens!" Yang Hao nodded and said.

"However, I heard that Dongjiang Town lives far away on the island, and Mao Wenlong has been impeached repeatedly, I am afraid that he is already at odds with the imperial court, even if he is given military salaries, grain and grass, can it really be implemented?" Zhu Youzhen asked.

The border army generals of the Ming Dynasty basically regarded raising soldiers as a business, and they ate empty salaries if they could.

"Your Majesty, this matter can be handed over to one person, and he will supervise the teacher, Mao Wenlong will definitely bow down and obey orders, and he will not mess around!" Yang Ho said.

"Who?"

"Yuan Keli!"

Yuan Keli was a well-known incorruptible official in the Ming Dynasty, and he was a capable person.

Mao Wenlong was picked up by Yuan Keli, and Yuan Keli has always regarded himself as a nephew.

If Yuan Keli is the governor of Liaodong, then Mao Wenlong must be working hard with his heart.

"Okay, that's him!" Zhu Youzhen said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for trusting the guilty minister!" Yang Hao hurriedly said.

Zhu Youzhen understands that Yang Hao is reminding himself.

"Yang Hao, the defeat of Salhu back then, you are the main general, naturally you should bear the responsibility, so many years in prison, it should be enough." Zhu Youzhen thought for a moment, and then said: "It's better to be like this, I will give you amnesty, appoint you to join the army for the Governor's Mansion of the New Army of the Ming Guards, and train an elite for me!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yang Ho immediately thanked excitedly.

For him, he was finally free at the age of 60, and it didn't matter what official position he held.

As long as he can get out of prison, it is Yang Hao's great luck.

In the following days, the holy decree of the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty was issued to the whole country one by one.

Whether it was about conscription or inspecting the disaster, it all made Daming feel a different atmosphere.

This new Ming Emperor seems to be very capable, and all he cares about is practical affairs.

In addition, Daming Jinyiwei and East Factory also ushered in a renovation.

There had been rumors among the people before that Jinyiwei and Dongchang were causing disaster to the country and the people, and the Qingliu gentlemen hoped that the new emperor would cancel the matter of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, which was also instantly proved to be false.

These pieces of information about the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty caused an uproar in the entire Ming Dynasty for a while.

The identity of the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty was also familiar to the public all of a sudden.

Your Majesty, now that our family has collected a lot of information, do you want to take a look first! Wang Chengen reported respectfully in Zhu Youzhen's imperial study.

Zhu Youzhen raised his eyelids and looked at Wang Chengen, and said: Well, you can say it first!

Yes, Your Majesty. Wang Chengen replied respectfully.

Wang Chengen held a stack of thick materials in his hands, all of which were the people and officials of the Ming Dynasty, and they all had detailed explanations of the reactions of Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

These people are the most ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty, maybe they won't believe that this is a big traitor. Wang Chengen said.

Zhu Youzhen frowned slightly, he also felt that the people of the Ming Dynasty might not believe it.

However, the current situation does not allow them not to believe it, so they are holding a wait-and-see attitude. Wang Chengen continued to explain.

Wang Chengen means that the Ming government will either ignore it, but will manage it to the end.

The people of the Ming Dynasty cannot be left to ignore it, and such a result will have a bad impact on the people of the Ming Dynasty.

So what are you going to do? Zhu Youzhen asked.

Wang Chengen said: Weichen plans to investigate some Dongying matters first, and if there is a suspicious person, he will be arrested.

Not bad. Zhu Youzhen nodded.

Wang Chengen continued: However, Weichen has a doubt, why did those Japanese devils come to North Korea? It stands to reason that they will not easily leave the territory of the Ming Dynasty and come to the Central Plains.

When the Japanese came to the Central Plains, it was definitely not for tourism, but it was the hometown of the Central Plains people, and it was certainly not as simple as tourism when these Japanese came here.

Moreover, Wang Chengen suspected that this was a conspiracy against the Central Plains court.
