The common problem of time travelers is that they can use technology to crush them, and they will never use brute force to win; who can take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity?

The failure of Jiannu to attack Ningyuan this time should have been expected. However, Jiannu brought artillery, made trenches, and burned wooden stakes, which also aroused Zhu Youxiao's vigilance.

In terms of learning ability and enthusiasm, if you were not strongly guiding and promoting yourself, as an emerging force, Jiannu would obviously surpass the old empire that was plagued by serious and inefficient.

The reason why the Red Barbarians and Cannons mentioned in the "Ming Ming Forum" that Zhu Youxiao also made more people realize the power of science and technology.

As for the leak, it has been no secret since the Battle of Ningyuan. Moreover, Zhu Youxiao also instructed the imperial pen to exaggerate the power of the Red Barbarian cannon, which is very useful to scare Jiannu.

What should Jiannu do if he wants to imitate it? Zhu Youxiao was not too worried. According to his estimate, with the reference of ready-made samples, it would take at least two or three years for Jiannu to succeed.

And in two or three years, if Jiannu could not be destroyed and wiped out, Zhu Youxiao felt that he would be the emperor for nothing.

He wrote a reply to Xiong Tingbi in a secret memorial, and Zhu Youxiao agreed to the plan to advance to Jinzhou and Dalinghe City at the beginning of spring. Even if it was a broken city, the foundation of the city was still there, and it would not be difficult to build a trench and chest wall. According to Jiannu's current ability to attack, it would be at least one to two battles.

This is not the main point. Only defending but not attacking does not conform to the psychology of Xiong Tingbi and Zhu Youxiao.

According to Lao Xiong's idea, if Jiannu came to attack Jinzhou or Dalinghe City, the Ming army would take advantage of the navy to carry out the battle, relying on the Daling River as a barrier to cut off Jiannu's retreat.

Zhu Youxiao agreed with this. The strength of the Ming army's naval division has far surpassed history, so naturally there is no need to send reinforcements from Ningyuan.

Dengzhen, Jinzhen, Dongjiang Town, and even Liaozhen through Juehua Island can carry out such actions.

Moreover, when Jiannu was defeated, Zhu Youxiao judged that he would not have half a year to rest and recover and did not have the ability to take the initiative to attack. There were many rivers in western Liaoning, which would also become the difficulties faced by Jiannu.

Zhu Youxiao stopped writing, thought for a while, and wrote an important reminder. If you want to guard Dalinghe City and Jinzhou, you must ensure that you have stored grain for more than two months.

This is considered in case of the situation, if Jiannu sieges and does not attack and traps the city with a wealth, he has to be careful.

After two months, Zhu Youxiao felt that no matter how slow the reaction was, the Ming army of various departments should take action, either support or restrain, and launched a counterattack against Jiannu.

Moreover, in two months, can Jiannu's food and supplies be able to support it? With their transportation capacity, can they be supplied?

He let out a long breath, and Zhu Youxiao put away his pen and read it again before he replied to the secret message.

Moving forward to Jinzhou and Dalinghe is a very important step in the strategic counterattack, and it was also a very cautious decision by Zhu Youxiao.

Unlike Ningyuan, it is located in the narrow terrain of the western Liaoning Corridor. Due to the lack of room for maneuver, the Later Jin cavalry could not be used.

But when you arrive in Jinzhou and Daling River, you will leave the western Liaoning Corridor and the Northeast Plain. Jiannu's roundabout attack and other tricks will be used.

Once Songshan, Xingshan, Tashan and other places were attacked and occupied by Jiannu, Jinzhou and Dalinghe City were cut off from ties with Ningyuan and became cities that were defended by the lonely army.

Historical experience has clearly taught Zhu Youjiao a lesson, but now it is not as good as last year. The Ming army, which has stable morale, sufficient food and salary, and excellent weapons, has already had the ability to fight Jiannu to the death.

"Sun Yuanhua, director of the Xuangang Gunpowder Bureau, saw Sun Yuanhua, Jin." Zhu Youxiao turned his head and ordered the palace servants to prepare to put the work of producing and manufacturing heavy mortars in the Ming Dynasty.

Although the Red Barbarian Cannon was very powerful, Zhu Youxiao felt that the limitations of land combat were too strong, so it would be better to give it to the navy.

It should be a relatively flexible and correct decision to reduce production and concentrate manpower and material resources to create field artillery and heavy mortars to increase combat effectiveness for the Ming army.

After two setbacks, Jiannu's strength has decreased. It is the time to step up the pressure and we must not give them a chance to breathe.

Dongjiang Town should be able to directly attack Jiannu’s military forces. How can they make their performance better? Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly and fell into long-term contemplation.

Tianjin.

When the war in Ningyuan ended, the envoy who reported the victory took the sea route to Tianjin and headed straight to the capital.

Jinfu Bi Ziyan knew that he was about to step down and would soon rush to Beijing to accept the position of President of Imperial Bank.

As expected, within a few days, an imperial decree was announced in the capital, summoned Bi Ziyan to hand over the work, and went to Jin to meet the emperor. At the same time, he also read out the imperial decree to Li Banghua and officially took over the position of Jinfu.

Others do not know the importance of the president of the Imperial Bank, but Bi Ziyan learned a lot from his secret correspondence with the emperor, and understood that this would be an important position no less than that of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Since he already knew his future appointment, Bi Ziyan has also stepped up his learning of a lot of knowledge and has his own plans and ideas for the development of the bank.

There were already bill numbers, money houses or private financial institutions similar to this in the Ming Dynasty, and people could still find questions about this operational skills.

In other words, Imperial Bank will be the Ming Dynasty's money bag in the future. It will issue, control currency, provide loans, exchanges and other businesses to the outside world, and will also have the function of supervising the financial industry in the future.

Bi Ziyan was a famous economic talent in the late Ming Dynasty, and was particularly good at comprehensive and complex economic affairs.

He served as the Minister of the Jinfu and the Minister of Supervision and the Minister of Supervision and Finance. Not only did he support Yuan Ke, he formed a support force with him, and used Qi Jiguang's legacy to greatly enhance Tianjin's military equipment. Moreover, he did a good job in urging the supervisor of Liaofu.

It is precisely because of the ability of financial management that Bi Ziyan realized the importance of the Imperial Bank to the country and the emperor's long-term vision, and admired the emperor's means of making money.

The interest on coins in minted was already a considerable income, and as the silver coins were issued increased, it was completely replaced by silver liang. Bi Ziyan's rough calculations were afraid that it would be less than one or two million liang.

Of course, this is not something that can be made at once. It takes about three or five years to abolish the two and change the country, and on average it seems less than that.

But Imperial Bank is about to carry out foreign exchange and loan business, which is a large amount of income and is stable in the long term.

What others saw was that the emperor wanted to attack merchants, but Bi Ziyan knew that the emperor was only targeting officials and businessmen and illegal merchants.

However, the emperor encouraged and supported commercial activities. The reason is very simple. The more prosperous the business, the faster the money on the market, the more money the bank can make.

Li Banghua has been in Tianjin for several months, saying that he was observing politics and had been appointed as the Right Censor to commend him for his achievements in rectifying the Beijing camp. It was a foregone conclusion that he took over as the Tianjin and Fufu.

Therefore, the delivery and unloading work went very smoothly. We were prepared and the situation was almost understood, so it was naturally very fast.

"Brother Jinghui will definitely be in the Ministry of Revenue when he comes to Beijing this time." Li Banghua didn't know about the Imperial Bank and thought that with Bi Ziyan's ability to manage finances, he must be the reserve for Li Qiyuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Because Li Qiyuan is old and his health is not very good.

Bi Ziyan didn't say it out loud, and he didn't dare to say what happened in the secret memorial.

"Meng An is speculating privately, but I don't know where to go to work!" Bi Ziyan pondered for a moment, changed the topic, and said, "Meng An takes office as a Jinfu, which shows that Your Majesty has a strong trust. But Your Majesty's most evil party disputes are the worst. Meng An should be careful and not be used by villains."

Li Banghua and Zou Yuanbiao are fellow townsmen, and they are still in the relationship between teachers and friends. They also said good things for Gu Xiancheng and were regarded as the Donglin faction.

Bi Ziyan kindly reminded him that he hoped that he would not interact with certain people, so as not to be slandered and disliked by the emperor.

After being an official for so many years, Bi Ziyan's sense of political smell could not be slow. As soon as the articles about officials and businessmen in the newspaper were published, he realized that a large number of officials would be implicated, and there were even more Donglin Party members.

Li Banghua's temper likes to distinguish right from wrong, but it is not pedantic. Moreover, the emperor did not charge arbitrarily, arrears taxes, embezzle military farms, and evade taxes. He should be punished, but the means are a little more ruthless.

Regarding Bi Ziyan's kindness, Li Banghua smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Jinghui, for the reminder. I took over Jinfu, which was both the rear of Liaodong and the barrier of the capital. I will follow Brother Jinghui and Yuanfu and live up to the hope of long live."

Bi Ziyan and Yuan Keli are very similar, knowing the overall situation and taking care of the country. Although they tend to be the Donglin Party in terms of thought, they have a neutral attitude in the party struggles.

Li Banghua said that he would follow Yuan and Bi acted tactfully, so he made it tactfully that he would not participate in party struggles and only did practical things.

Bi Ziyan smiled and stroked his beard and sighed: "When we are at our age, what kind of conflict should we have? Be loyal to the country and do something practical for the people. This is comforting!"

Li Banghua agreed and said, "The Eastern Barbarians suffered consecutive setbacks and their decline has been achieved. At this time, it is not the time to relax. They are about to continue to attack, so that they will not recover until they are finally destroyed. The party struggles will ruin the country and will ruin the overall situation of Liao. How can you not know?"

Seeing that Li Banghua made a clear statement, Bi Ziyan felt relieved and explained: "There are 150,000 soldiers in Jin Town, although the smallest among the four towns, there is also a gap in combat power. However, as the support from the rear, he cannot slackew."

Li Banghua said: "Don't worry, Brother Jinghui. A certain meeting strives to send more troops to help the battle and enhance the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers of Jin Town. When the battle with the Donglu is final, Jin Town will also perform and will not be inferior to other military towns."

Bi Ziyan raised the teacup and said, "If the Eastern Captains are destroyed, the country will be stable and all people will live in peace. If we are lucky enough to make achievements, we will not be worthy of our lives. We congratulate the Ming Dynasty and the Emperor."

Li Banghua smiled and raised his glass, saying loudly: "Congratulations to the Ming Dynasty and to the Emperor."

Dengzhou.

"Let me give me a resignation forever, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"It is good to be sincere."

After the mountain shouted, he climbed to the tutelage and completed the entire process of receiving the order. The father-in-law who announced the order also put away the imperial edict and held the imperial edict in front of Yuan Keli, and said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to Lord Yuan."

Yuan Keli took the imperial edict with both hands, made a few polite words with his father-in-law before sending him out.

"Congratulations, sir." Zhang Keda, the general of Deng Town, bowed and congratulated Yuan Keli who was turning around.

In Ningyuan's great victory, coupled with the constraining of southern Liao, the emperor specially added Yuan Ke's title of Minister of War and was given a Baili Wenpye to demonstrate his achievements in scheduling.

Yuan Keli smiled and said seriously: "The emperor is too deep, I am ashamed of accepting it!" As he said that, he waved his hand and signaled Zhang Keda to sit down and ordered his servants to serve tea.

Zhang Keda knew that he had to discuss important matters, so he sat upright and waited for Shangguan to speak.

Yuan Keli took a sip of tea, stroked his beard for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Dengzhen is not only a logistics transfer base for the Liaohai Front, but also has the important task of restoring Liaodong. It has been training for nearly a year, and there have been several assists in the war. Guanfu, if there are major actions this year, what are the shortcomings of the officers and soldiers of Dengzhen?"

The imperial edict is open, and the secret edict should be reported one or two days soon. The emperor should increase the harassment and blockade of Jiannu to support Liao Town to advance eastward.

Although Yuan Keli was restrained by Dongjiang and Dengzhen, he focused more on material transfer and recruitment and training. Regarding Dengzhen's actual combat capabilities, he still had to ask the chief general Zhang Keda.

Zhang Ke pondered for a while and replied, "More than half of the officers and soldiers of Deng Town took turns to fight, and they have practical experience. But compared with Dongjiang Town, it is still worse. But if you want to defend, Deng Town has 15,000 soldiers available."

Yuan Keli thought about it and felt that this 5,000 combat soldiers could also play a great role. Since he could defend, he could naturally liberate the troops of Dongjiang Town and let them serve as the main attacker.

"There are 5,000 combat soldiers defending in the large area, so it should be safe?" Yuan Keli looked at Zhang Keda and asked again.

Zhang Keda was somewhat confident about this. After all, the officers and soldiers of Dengzhen assisted in the battle several times, and were all in the Luda area in southern Liaoning.

After receiving a positive answer, Yuan Keli smiled and said, "Guanfu, we must speed up the training of troops. When the spring is warm and the ice is on, the officers and soldiers of the town will take a big move."

Zhang Keda hurriedly bowed and said, "Don't worry, the people in the town are strong, and the navy is even more powerful. He will definitely be able to make achievements and return."

"It's so good." Yuan Keli smiled and said, "Water battles should be the focus of training, remember."

"I will understand it."

Liaoning University of Tourism.

Since sending troops to contain the Later Jin army and withdrew after the small victory in Shiheyi, the Ming army did not all retract back to its original territory.

A group of 3,000 officers and soldiers stationed in Jinzhou City and formed a horn with the Ming army of Lu. It is both an early warning and a forward exit, and it is also an outpost for Lu Da.

Kong Youde led his army to station in Nanguan as a reserve and support for the garrison in Jinzhou City. Zhang Pan was stationed in Muchangyi and Qingniwa in the occupied area of ​​Luda, and was also the support of Kong Youde's troops.

The original bridgehead, Lushun, became a base for military supplies, and was stationed by 3,000 troops from Dengzhen.

Although he almost returned to his pre-war state, after this small victory, Zhang Pan and Kong Youde's troops had a very different mental state, with the desire to take the initiative and the confidence to fight Jiannu.

The chariots were so useful. As soon as the army retreated, they started cutting down and building chariots, preparing for the next attack.
