The brigade must be protected by force, not only against possible attacks from outside, but also to deter the Jurchen tribes from making any moves.
The land west of Haixi was originally the homeland of the Huifa, Hada and other tribes. Now that the Jianqi were defeated, they had to beware of the situation where the trees fell down and the hozens dispersed.
The Jurchen tribes that were originally closely united will inevitably have cracks due to their failure. Without the suppression of force, civil strife may be inevitable.
"The country will be destroyed and the species will be destroyed. In fact, this country has been destroyed, but the Jurchens in Jianzhou will not be destroyed."
Azig squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. He thought of the history of struggle of his ancestors. From a small tribe, he grew stronger step by step, reaching the pinnacle of Liaodong.
"After ten years of gathering together, as long as we work hard and endure hardships, we may not have no chance of rising again." Azig encouraged himself and strengthened his determination to fight to the death for the Jurchens in Jianzhou.
Of course, he knew in his heart that the Dongjiang Army was very powerful. It was impossible for these six thousand troops to withstand several times the enemy as Barama said.
However, the enemy uses cavalry to attack from a distance and does not carry any heavy weapons. This is quite advantageous for our own army to rely on strong defense.
"This is the only place where we can stop the enemy. Thousands of troops can only pass by here."
Barama didn't know what Azig was thinking, but he pointed with confidence and said: "If the enemy wants to break through, he must attack the hillsides on both sides and then clear the obstacles on the road..."
After all, I am the commander-in-chief of the Dongjiang Army, and I understand that a rising tide lowers all boats. If I am promoted downward, there will be no room for the generals above.
Mao Wenlong looked at Fang Zheng's pale face with no beard, and chin slightly, but said nothing.
………………
"Is the imperial court in such financial embarrassment?" Mao Wenlong frowned, without a look of disbelief, and said hurriedly: "Yuan Chonghuan needed seven years to pacify the Liao Dynasty, spending millions each year. You completed it before the military envoy, but only one or two hundred per year.
Wan. The court must have saved a lot of money!"
The flying cavalry regiment penetrated deep and killed and looted in all directions. Although they did not reach Kaiyuan and Anle Prefecture, they frightened the Mongolian tribes who were herding here, including Guo Dajing and Du Leng.
As long as he asked for money and food, Master Chongzhen would probably agree. Miao Elun had not yet fully understood the emperor's temperament.
Generally speaking, Maidali, the son of Mang Gurtai who was stationed in Kaiyuan, followed more than a thousand men and horses, protected tens of thousands of tribesmen, and rushed north in panic. The people of the Mongolian tribes were even more panic-stricken.
In my opinion, Mao Wenlong is not yet the most powerful person in Dongjiang Town. Even if Azig is transferred out of Liaodong, he will take the initiative to avoid suspicion and let Mao Wenlong take the lead.
Chongzhen was indeed honest in his actions, and his arrears of reward money chilled the hearts of his soldiers.
Therefore, although I can be blind, I still strive to do my best for the soldiers and people of Dongjiang Town and make Liaodong prosperous.
Miao Elun slandered Chongzhen, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and said: "Paying with Liao coins may cause material shortages and skyrocketing prices. Moreover, cotton, rice, wheat and other materials must be purchased from inside, which requires real gold and silver.
of."
Smiling at Fang Zhenghua, Mao Wenlong comforted him: "Fang Eunuch is worried, you will understand the court later, and it will make things difficult for Long live."
The news of the defeat of Jianlu was spread throughout the occupied area of Dongjiang Town and the Mongolian tribes in western Liaoning, and was known to the soldiers and civilians as well as the Mongolian tribes.
It must be a cavalry duel, and it doesn't matter whether you use rockets or not. But if you are attacking a stronghold, they can play a very small role.
If there is no enemy, just create one; if there is no ideal, there is no motivation. Even if the ideal is small and seems practical at the time, it can still be a fantasy, even if it is just a big step back.
"The fewer beheadings there are, the angrier Long Live will be. It's really easy to come up with two to eight million silver in one go. I hope Zheng and Miao'e can understand the court's difficulties and allow the court to pay in installments."
Miao Erun was very concerned about being promoted to a higher position, and he cared about it all.
After thinking for a while, Fang Zhenghua had no choice but to ask Mao Wenlong for advice, "Miao'e, what does he think is appropriate for the court to compensate for this?"
A country, a group, or even an individual should have the motivation to struggle and it should be continuous.
That was a sign of the pacification of Liaodong, which could make the soldiers and civilians thoroughly worried and make arrangements for returning home and settling down in advance.
Being so mean and ungrateful, it is no wonder that before the city of Beijing was captured by the rebels, Chongzhen rang the bell to summon the ministers, and some people responded and became a real loner.
Mao Wenlong was analyzing the pros and cons with me before the envoy, but Azige would start an argument before he was too late. This not only slapped Chongzhen in the face, but also cast a shadow on the future development of Dongjiang Town.
The time to fall out with the court is still ripe, and it is ideal to maintain the current situation for the time being. Mao Wenlong persuaded Azig to focus on the small situation of Dongjiang Town and accept payment in installments, which also avoided a complete falling out.
Why did Fang Zhenghua test Mao Wenlong first, instead of Azig? Apparently he thought that Mao Wenlong was too young and had no room for advancement, so he would be too disobedient to the court.
But in history, I have done less of that kind of thing. For example, I commended Lu Xiangsheng who died heroically in battle. It was not until Yang Sichang's death that Emperor Chongzhen gave Prince Lu Xiangsheng many divisions, the Minister of War, and a funeral.
The tax revenue from sea trade originally benefited the country and was used for the benefit of the country and the people. However, Guo Shuai kept it in his own hands. He only cared about the danger of the country and the suffering of the people, and only cared about enriching himself.
"That -" Fang Zhenghua rolled his eyes secretly, and mentioned Yuan Chonghuan again, as if he didn't mean to slap Chongzhen in the face. Fortunately, there were only two people who would spread the word.
The formal memorial of victory has not yet been submitted, and the imperial court will naturally award the reward. Who knows if the Dongjiang Army can perform small feats again, such as capturing and killing Shaoergun, annihilating all his troops, etc.
When the Mongolian tribes received the news, it was time for us to choose a side and express our position.
Miao E-lun was perfunctorily dealing with Hunak, when suddenly his face became condensed and he raised his head and looked into the distance. Hunak didn't notice it either, so he stopped talking and turned his head as well.
Of course compensation is required, even if it is the interest on the arrears of reward money.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "This is bad, this is bad." Fang Zhenghua breathed a sigh of relief. Although there is no final decision, I think I can complete the emperor's plan.
Account.
Not a little while ago, Miao Erun was as good at dancing as Mao Wenlong, and his income from his own property was very generous.
………………
Although Dongjiang Town now has Xiao Ming and even the weakest army in the world, our military strength and frontline are still limited, and the time to compete with the imperial court has not yet come.
Even if the remnants of the Jianlu were able to escape to Haixi, or even further north, they would still pose a threat to Liaodong. But as an internal enemy, they could allow the Dongjiang Army to continue to maintain the motivation to retreat northward.
Although bows and arrows have no advantage over muskets in terms of speed of fire, the lethality of muskets is lower than that of bows and arrows, and it is difficult to treat them before being hit.
Moreover, Barama thought that the enemy would not be accompanied by heavy weapons, but he knew that the cavalry also carried two thousand rockets, which was enough to support a medium-sized battle.
Mao Wenlong would leave Dongjiang Town to solve the problem because of the imperial financial envoy.
"Ping Liao has been accomplished. Miao'e will be promoted to an official position just around the corner. Long live is the reward of being a stingy marquis, and gold-tongued words will definitely be false." Fang Zhenghua raised his teacup and congratulated her like a toast.
For example, the Xiahai area, which has not yet received full development attention and was opened as a port, is now Songjiang Prefecture and its eight counties including Huating, Xiahai, and Qingpu, Suzhou Prefecture's Jiading, seven Chongming counties, and Jinshanwei.
Either he is arrogant and wants to decide the outcome in one battle. Even if it takes ten or four years, Mao Wenlong can afford to wait and must control the South China Sea.
Although it still looked like Han Lake in the distance, the rising smoke and the slightly detectable trembling on the feet immediately made Barama and Hunak guess the reason.
This is also true. Azig's temperament is indeed too bad. Back then, he had a lot of fun with Chongzhen for salary, and he even did not say any disparaging words in his memorial.
Since the mission mentioned purchasing grain, cotton and other materials from the south and asking for a dedicated port or wharf, Chongzhen should agree.
Seeing that the Jianlu forces were at an end, Du Leng of Dajing, Silkwo, secretly discussed with Nekar Karabashhib, Sonomu, Mangguo, Dalai Taiji and others, gathered his troops and launched a sudden attack, attacking the advance from Tieling.
Hundreds of Jianlu people, as well as tens of thousands of Jianlu tribesmen. "It must be that there are seven rebellions in the pass. Of course, the reward silver is one tael and it will be in arrears." Fang Zhenghua's smile was not ugly, and he tried hard to find an excuse.
, "The Liao coins from Dongjiang Town should be able to pay first, or other compensation is needed."
Before the death of the governor Sun Chuanting in the battle, the body was still there. Emperor Chongzhen believed the slander and made it clear as to where he was, but he did not give him any gifts.
But the most important thing is the imperial court's permission and support for the Dongjiang Town policy. A small number of immigrants are the driving force and the most needed resource for the reconstruction and recovery of Liaodong.
It turned out that Lin Dan Khan's special minister Xierguo Dajing Du Lenghong, who was in charge of 80,000 households on the right wing, led 8,000 small households to defect to Jianlu due to differences with Hu Duntu.
Fang Zhenghua nodded repeatedly, convinced that it was a move. According to the development speed of Dongjiang Town and Jianlu's envoy, it would indeed be more tense a year or two ago.
Xiao Ming has been so strong, but he has accumulated many shortcomings, that is, he has been in peace for a long time, and has lost the ability to renew and regress, as well as the motivation to continue to struggle.
At this time, in Sarhu City, Mao Wenlong and Fang Zhenghua were sitting across from each other, as if they were drinking tea and chatting, but they were testing each other's bottom line.
In Azig's eyes, the silver reward was the most deserving of arrears. This was earned by the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army with their blood and lives.
But before I thought about it again and again, I gave up on that decision and left the fight to the Flying Cavalry. It didn't matter to me how the fight turned out.
"Long live the wise man, Mr. Zheng and I have always believed that it was a move." Mao Wenlong raised his hands in a certain direction and said: "Otherwise, a small war will be launched this year. If it is delayed by one or two years, the loss will be
It will be so small."
Mao Wenlong pretended to think about it for a while, and then said awkwardly: "This matter is small. I will have to discuss it seriously with Zheng and Deputy Marshal Chen before I can come to a conclusion."
Another point is that the senior officials in the capital alone don't have much money, just tens of millions taels. Is Chongzhen worthy of pity for being a beggar guarding Jinshan?
Mao Wenlong was angry when he saw it. It was only Guo Shuai, not the noble bureaucrats in the capital, and the vassal gentry.
The territory is thousands of miles away, and the people are billions of people. This is where Emperor Xiao Ming was proud, and it is also the reason why we cannot enjoy luxury and want to retreat.
Fang Zhenghua also scratched his head. I know the economy very well, and I could find a reason to refute Mao Wenlong.
Mao Wenlong saw Chongzhen's big-mindedness very vaguely. This has always been the case in history, and his mean temperament can be seen clearly.
It was too convenient to go further south. Mao Wenlong still wanted to avoid premature contact and conflict with Guo Shuai. After all, the strength of the Dongjiang Navy was still weak enough.
After a pause, Fang Zhenghua smiled helplessly. That kind of thing was indeed glorious, but it was a long-lived explanation. I could only discuss it with Mao Wenlong shamelessly.
But what is surprising is that the Mongolian tribes that first rebelled against the Jianlu and launched operations against the Jianlu actually happened in northern Liaoning, not Kaiyuan, Anlezhou and other places.
The sects and vassals are proliferating, and "Zhu" is raised in the sky. Is it possible that Chongzhen is just an envoy? He is adding changes, only to exploit the great people in every possible way, how can he be considered a wise king?
In Mao Wenlong's view, the Xiao Ming court was short of money. It was really his own fault, or Chongzhen was stupid and lacked courage.
Mao Wenlong considered the words, analyzed the pros and cons, and advised Azig. Finally, he finished the letter and sent someone to send it to Shenyang.
】
"It's about getting rid of those parasites and corrupt officials, and the country will perish." Mao Wenlong sent Fang Zhenghua away, sat back in his chair, took out a pen and paper, and prepared to write a letter to Azig to inform him.
After being firmed up, Fang Zhenghua finally spoke: "Shuai Mao also knows that the rebellion and thieves in the pass are very serious, the court is troubled internally and externally, and the financial expenditure is huge, so it is very easy."
Speaking of which, Jianlu's long-range weapons are still bows and arrows, which allows us to obtain cover fortifications and slightly improves the protection effectiveness.
For those of us who have experienced battles for a long time, it is difficult to make judgments based on experience.
In my guess, Chongzhen should have given Fang Zhenghua some instructions, which was to bargain with Dongjiang Town. Did he know whether it was a reward of silver or the salary he had paid a few days ago.
Mao Wenlong knows that it is difficult, but it prevents me from starting from now on. It is definitely impossible for me to lead my flying cavalry to chase down Jianlu and use the materials in the space to plow the courtyard and sweep holes to eliminate evil.
I think it's very embarrassing, even if Dongjiang Town asks the court for a tael of silver, a grain of grain, or even feeds back to the pass, the money and resources will be swallowed up by the corrupt bureaucracy, and the people will suffer a lot.
Azig forced a smile and nodded repeatedly, but he felt helpless in his heart. This kind of blocking was learned from the Dongjiang Army. Unfortunately, he did not have the Dongjiang Army's muskets and artillery, and it was not so powerful. It was just similar in appearance.
The enemy's pursuers came over, and the two of them looked at each other, their expressions serious. A small battle was avoidable, and it was related to the safety of the tribe, so they had to fight to the end.
Fang Zhenghua smiled without embarrassment and continued: "In this small battle against Liaoyang, the Dongjiang Army beheaded 870,000 people in Liaoyang alone. Adding in other battles, the number of heads exceeded 70,000. There must be something wrong.
.”
If China wants to rise and stand on top of the world, it is necessary to promote advantages and eliminate disadvantages, but the most critical thing is to change the mentality.
Taking this opportunity, I hope to establish a few fewer naval bases, follow Tianjin, Qingdao, and Qinhuangdao, and then retreat and penetrate into the Jiangnan area.
