Responsibility can indeed be judged like this.

Compared to Chongzhen, who did not dare to "discuss peace" explicitly, and feared others' words but did not "moved the capital", and suffered from face and suffering, Zhu Youxiao was indeed responsible.

Abandoning land and losing land and retreating without fighting will definitely become a stain on the historical books written by some literati.

But Zhu Youxiao bravely issued an imperial edict, not seeking scapegoats or taking the blame. That's what I mean, if you have any words, you will come to me.

Just for this, Xiong Tingbi was extremely grateful.

Not afraid of the storm, he blocked all the verbal and verbal guns that might have shot at him, which was no different from Wanli's protection for him.

Xing Shenyan and Han Chuming both nodded in agreement. It is probably rare among the monarchs in history to have the responsibility of slandering themselves.

"As for whether Jinzhou is abandoned or guarded, the emperor still has doubts." Xiong Tingbi stroked his beard under his jaw and asked, "You don't know this, it's not too late to say it's about you now."

It is certain to retreat to Ningyuan, but Zhu Youxiao is not sure whether to defend Jinzhou or not.

Although the lessons in history were profound and the Ming Dynasty paid too much for Jinzhou, some people in later generations even said that a city dragged down an empire.

But Zhu Youxiao also felt that Jinzhou is very important in its geographical location. Wouldn't it be better if it could defend the throat that guards the western Liaoning Corridor?

Xing Shenyan thought for a while and said, "Since the heavy troops were stationed in Ningyuan, if there is any war, Jinzhou will probably be difficult to rescue."

Jinzhou is between the big and small rivers. From Ningyuan to Jinzhou, you have to pass Tashan, Songshan, Xingshan and other places.

Once war begins, how could the Later Jin Dynasty not cut off the road to reinforcements? Any fortress is occupied, Jinzhou will become an isolated city.

Han Chuming nodded in agreement and said, "There is too far ahead of Jinzhou. If you want to stick to it, you will have to build a fortress to serve as a horn and store grain for siege. It is a huge cost and not a concise place."

Xiong Tingbi pondered for a while, smiled slightly, and said, "I am also worried about this, but I still want to comfort the emperor. I didn't expect that I would report the truth."

Han Chuming and Xing Shenyan looked at each other, but shook their heads helplessly. Fortunately, the emperor was humble and asked Xiong Tingbi for his opinion. Otherwise, if the imperial edict was issued, Jinzhou would become the second Guangning again.

In history, many people have seen the dangers of sticking to Jinzhou.

"Jinzhou is a remote and mysterious area, which is not a concise place. It was a mistake to discuss the revision that day. I was so angry that half of the world was shattered by a mere projectile. Although I was lucky enough to have nothing to do, I was still in danger."

Yan Mingtai, the governor of Ji Liao, had a bad reputation, but his analysis was correct in his advocacy of abandoning Jinzhou.

Xiong Tingbi did not say that Zhu Youxiao wanted to defend Jinzhou to see if he could block the connection between the Later Jin and Mongolia.

But in Xiong Tingbi's view, Jinzhou's position was not far from the north, and it would not be able to achieve the goal of blocking the Later Jin and Mongolia if it was held. In other words, Jinzhou was a waste of money.

He reached out to pat the battlement, and Xiong Tingbi showed a look of emotion.

It was once an important town in Liaodong. When the spring is warm and the ice melts, I will give up. I don’t know when I will meet again.

No, I will definitely recover Liaodong in my lifetime and stand on this majestic city wall again to look around.

………………………………

In three years, Xiong Tingbi should be able to train a powerful iron cavalry, as long as it is not like Guanning Iron Cavalry.

When Zhu Youxiao heard Liu Ruoyu reciting the memorial, he couldn't help but think about it.

"Yuan Chonghuan, the head of the Ministry of War, reported..."

Hum? Zhu Youxiao frowned and looked at him, attracted by the name.

According to historical records, the war broke out in Guangning, and Chonghuan rode alone out of the pass. The ministry lost Yuan’s affairs and was surprised that his family had no idea where he went. After that, he returned to the court and said, “I will give my army horse and money valley, and I will guard this alone.”

To put it bluntly, Yuan Chonghuan left his post without authorization and lost contact with the unit. Even his family didn't know where he went.

It turned out that someone went to Shanhaiguan and outside the pass, and after he came back, he reported: I can guard Shanhaiguan alone, give me money and food quickly, don’t moji!

Haha, the young emperor laughed unidentifiedly, and Liu Ruoyu couldn't help but stop and turned his eyes to the emperor.

"Talent!" Zhu Youxiao sighed, touched his chin and thought for a while, and said, "Go to the Ministry of Rites to serve as a member of the Qing official department!"

The host and guest Qingguan Department is mainly in charge of guest ceremonies and reception of foreign guests. It is very leisurely and has no power.

Isn't it a talent, so I've arranged it here? Liu Ruoyu responded, wondering.

Let's fool the foreigner, well, it seems that there is nothing foreigner wants him to fool.

Zhu Youxiao pursed his lips and quickly put this matter aside.

The spy of the Later Jin Dynasty betrayed the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Youxiao believed that it was impossible.

But Yuan's talent was only enough to be a general defending the city. He was just ashamed and had great courage, and was valued by some court officials.

"Shaanxi Governor Zuo Guangdou reported that after preliminary investigation, the quality of local officials was very low..."

Shaanxi is not a wealthy province, and officials are unwilling to go, resulting in few people coming from Jinshi. This is the disadvantage that Zuo Guangdou thought of as soon as he took office.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and decided to send more Jinshis in the current subject. Anyway, Jinshis in the current subject must be sent to local areas for training, rather than to Hanlin Academy or other department colleges.

As for the newly promoted martial arts, they are advanced in martial arts, learn "Official Enlightenment", familiar with the operation of weapons such as muskets, etc.

"Official Encyclopedia" was extracted and combined from "The Records of Military Training", "Ji Xiaoxin Book" and "Wu Bei Zhi". It was compiled by Sun Chengzong, Sun Yuanhua, Mao Yuanyi and others. Emperor Zhu Youxiao personally reviewed and revised and wrote the title of the book.

The martial arts professors were selected by Mao Yuanyi, Sun Yuanhua, and several musket coaches selected from the Beijing camp.

When the shelves are set up, the staffing is equipped, and if there are any shortcomings, the right people are added, Zhu Youxiao also knows that this will take a process.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao ordered the Ministry of War to conduct the Wenjing Camp and the garrisons of various border towns to select generals to study in Beijing, further expand the scale and influence of martial arts, and also prepare for the next step of military system reform.

In addition to normal admissions, Zhu Youzhai has designated several students, which are considered special admissions or selected students, and are transferred through the Ministry of War.

Among them were He Kegang of the Liaodong Army, Zu Dashou, Cao Wenzhao of the Liaodong Army, Kong Youde, Zhang Pan, Mao Chenglu of the Dongjiang Town, Sun Yingyuan of the Jingying, Zhou Yuji and others.

When the war in Guangning ended, Zhu Youxiao issued a special order to ask each department to offer prisoners and designated five hundred soldiers from each town to transport the first-level flags and other spoils.

There are 2,000 soldiers from Liaodong, Jinzhen, Dengzhen and Dongjiang Town, and will come to the capital to report together with the generals and officials from all departments who come to study martial arts.
