In the public office in the Daning Acropolis, which has begun to take shape but is still far from completed, a group of civilian and military generals who followed Zhu Youjian on the expedition, as well as Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou, and others who came from the neighboring Ji Town in western Liaoning, and

Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shuntian who came from Zunhua (Hong Chengchou moved to Shuntian after Zhu Youjian went out to conquer Yanshan), all gathered together and were arranged on the left and right.

These are officials who are more capable and more responsible. Many of them were tricked to death by Zhu Youjian or turned into traitors in their previous lives. However, now that Zhu Youjian knows his own business, of course he will not be tricked by these bureaucrats.

It's a trap, and you won't trick people to death in a daze.

There is a map table in the center of the lobby of the office. There are two maps spread out on the table, one is the situation map of Yanshan and the other is the situation map of Shaanxi.

The situation on the two situation maps is not very satisfactory. The Ming Dynasty has not yet established a stable foothold in Yanshan, occupying a lot of territory, but the population is insufficient, the strongholds are sparse, and the main cities are still under construction. Moreover, due to the unexpected defeat of Lin Dan Batur, the Ming Dynasty

The left-wing Mongolian units around Yanshan were once again firmly controlled by Hou Jin. Therefore, Zhu Youjian's army was unable to leave Yanshan for the time being.

The situation in Shaanxi is also worrying. Although Zhu Youjian adopted some policies to ease the situation in Shaanxi after coming to power, such as recruiting thousands of knights from Shaanxi and exempting Shaanxi from the Liaoning salary increase.

However, the biggest problems facing Shaanxi, continuous drought and long-term agricultural failure, have not been and cannot be solved.

Therefore, the situation in Shaanxi can be said to be more critical than that in Yanshan.

The latter is nothing more than a foreign invasion, and in the Battle of the Old Hamulin River, the cavalry and artillery coordination of the Zhangqian Army has already demonstrated great power. As long as the Zhangqian Army's more than 10,000 cavalry and 36 3-pound cannons remain in Daning,

Huang Taiji should not dare to invade on a large scale. At most, he would send the Mongols to harass Daning, Yingzhou and other places.

What Shaanxi is facing is a comprehensive oscillation caused by drought and long-term poor harvests!

Since senior officials in Shaanxi have long been responsible for transporting grain for the people's movement in the five towns of Yulin, Ningxia, Gansu, Guyuan, and Lintao, in fact, one province in Shaanxi supports the five towns! If one province runs out of food, the five towns will also be without food.

If the army has no food, it will be in chaos!

And if military rebellion is combined with civil unrest, the trouble will be huge.

Why did the rogue Western thieves in the previous life rise again and again? And if they couldn't pounce with their front feet, they could start a prairie fire with their back feet? Are they really relying on a group of hungry people carrying hoes and dung forks to rebel? This is impossible, you have to learn how to fight.

Gotta practice!

Even if you don’t have enough to eat, you can still practice martial arts? These rogue bandits came out of nowhere. Isn’t it obvious?

Zhu Youjian, who had already circled the map table twice, suddenly stood still and waved to the left and right, "Come here, everyone. Today is a military meeting. How can we discuss it without looking at the map? Come here, everyone!"

This was not the first time that the civil and military officials in the hall gathered around the map to discuss military affairs with Zhu Youjian, so when Zhu Youjian told him, they all gathered around to look at the map.

At first glance, they all found that the map was "wrongly drawn". The two military towns of Miyun and Changping were no longer there. Xuanfu Town expanded, swallowing up the territory of Kaiping Guard and Kaiping Qiantun Guard. And to the east of Yanshan Town

Another Daning Town was added. The territory under the jurisdiction of Daning Town was roughly Daning, Xincheng, Fuyu, Huizhou, Kuancheng and other five areas.

In addition, Liaoxi Town included the Ningyuan Guard and subtracted the Yingzhou Front Tunnel. The Yingzhou Back Tunnel temporarily only captured half of the Daling Valley area.

Zhu Youjian tapped the map and said with a smile: "That's it for the time being, do you think it's feasible?"

"Your Majesty," Yuan Chonghuan, Governor of Jiliao, asked, looking at the Ningyuan guards on the picture, "Are we not going to give up on Ningyuan?"

The Ji Liao Army led by Yuan Chonghuan has always been opposed to abandoning Ningyuan. Due to their deliberate delay, Ningyuan Acropolis has not been abandoned yet, but some people have been moved from nearby areas to guard Yingzhou in the Daling Valley. Yingzhou

The territory of Youtunwei is tuntian.

"I'm not giving up!" Zhu Youjian shook his head, "But there is no need to station heavy troops in Ningyuan. Five or six thousand people are enough."

"Are five or six thousand people less?" Yuan Chonghuan frowned and said, "Now the slave thieves have been farming in Jinzhou. According to spies, their farming is very large. They have sown more than 500,000 acres this spring. I am afraid they will be able to harvest in the autumn.

Hundreds of thousands of stones. With these hundreds of thousands of stones, the slave thieves can send a large army to surround Ningyuan."

The Jin army cannot defeat Ningyuan Castle, and will not fight again. Nurhaci and Huang Taiji have fought twice, and both are full of troubles, which already shows the problem.

But Houjin can still surround the points and provide reinforcements!

Zhu Youjian's previous insistence on abandoning Ningyuan was not to save five or six thousand defenders. The strength of the Jiliao army had not yet reached this level. He was mainly worried about Ningyuan being surrounded. In the last battle of Ningyuan, Ningyuan was

They were surrounded for more than twenty days.

Although Huang Taiji finally withdrew his troops empty-handed, Huang Taiji still had hundreds of thousands more dans of food on hand, and Ning Yuan would most likely be surrounded and killed!

When the time comes, will Zhu You rescue him or not?

"I'm not afraid anymore!" Zhu Youjian waved his hand, then pointed to Sun Yuanhua, and said half-jokingly, "I have Sun Dapao, why should I be afraid of Huang Taiji?"

Yes, Sun Dapao is the nemesis of Manchuria!

Zhu Youjian said: "I will keep the main force of the cavalry and artillery in front of the tent in Daning. If the slave thieves besiege Ningyuan, the cavalry and artillery in front of the tent will be able to come to relieve the siege in 20 days at most."

Although the cavalry in front of the tent adopted some Western-style cavalry shock tactics and training methods, they still couldn't defeat the Manchu cavalry. This was because the cavalry in front of the tent only learned other people's shock tactics, but they didn't have Ocean horses to ride. Their Mongolian dwarf horses

With limited physical strength, they cannot charge fast or far. Moreover, the Eight Banners soldiers of the slave thieves will also dismount and form a formation. As long as they form a formation, even if they hold Bao Yi and form a spear formation with the Han army, the cavalry in front of the tent will not be able to charge.

.

But with Sun Dapao's 36 "black cannons", there is no need to worry about the slave thieves forming an array. Wouldn't it be convenient to bombard them if they form an array?

Moreover, with the coordination of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, the cavalry and artillerymen in front of the tent can just pull in some capable infantry to form a strong formation that cannot be broken down by slaves and thieves.

After Zhu Youjian finished explaining the arrangements for western Liaoning, he turned to Hong Chengchou and said: "Hong Futai, I am going to establish a new Daning town to govern Daning, Xincheng, Fuyu, Huizhou, Kuancheng and other five areas.

However, I do not plan to appoint the commander-in-chief of Daning Town. Instead, I will send a governor and commander-in-chief. Hong Chengchou, you are a civil servant, a former soldier in the army, and my teacher. It is most suitable for you to be the governor of Daning and to command the troops in the town.

.”

"Your Majesty, Hong Chengchou, accepts the order." Hong Chengchou said nothing and immediately saluted and accepted the order.

Zhu Youjian said to Gao Hongtu again: "Gao Hongtu, you are now the governor of Yanyun, but Miyun is no longer a border area. Yunzhen will also be abolished, and the military strength will be transferred to Yan and Ning towns, so I want you to take up the post.

Governor of Yanning's military affairs, grain storage, and patrol of Yanshan. He also used Jehol City as his base, and together with Hong Chengchou, guarded the land of Yanning for me."

Gao Hongtu did not accept the order immediately, but asked: "Your Majesty, do you want the teacher to return to the court?"

Zhu Youjian smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "It's time for me to leave Daning, but I can't return to the court yet!"

Not going back yet?

Gao Hongtu said to himself: Isn't this little emperor too wild? He is out all year round, rarely returns to Beijing, and has never been to the palace. What is in the palace? Are you so unwilling to go back?

Zhu Youjian gave another wry smile and continued: "I also want to go back to the palace and have a good rest, but the national situation is difficult and I cannot rest for these days. The chaos in the northwest has arisen again. I have to go to the northwest to catch the thieves!"

Catch a thief?

Hong Chengchou disagreed after hearing this, and quickly added: "Your Majesty, the northwest has been hit by disasters in recent years. The people are in dire straits, and the army is also in poverty and is suffering from thieves and bandits. It's all because God doesn't provide food. God doesn't provide food.

Eat, what will the court do to them? I thought that these thieves from the northwest should still be killed!"

Well, Hong Chengchou, you are still so vicious!

Zhu Youjian shook his head and said: "I am a benevolent king, how can I bear to commit more crimes? So when I go to the northwest, I am going to catch some Western thieves and come to Yanshan and Daning to farm! I will catch the Western thieves to ward off the Eastern captives. You and others think
