Chapter one hundred and forty-eight
Anyway, although Zhu Youxiao had memories of Liu Aita, he did not dare to be very sure. In order not to affect the normal operations of the Ming army, he did not notify Liao Town except for the relevant troops.
Liao Town mainly advances eastward on land, supporting Liu Aita's actions and restraining the attack on Jiannu, it is better to rely more on the sea routes of Deng, Tianjin and Dongjiang towns to make it faster and more convenient.
In Zhu Youxiao's view, these three towns are enough to support each other, and there is no need to mobilize the masses too much.
Therefore, Xiong Tingbi didn't know these inside stories, but just followed the previous plan and moved forward steadily to strive for the restoration of Guangning this year.
Guangning and other places were abandoned last year. Although it was arranged by the emperor, the executor was Xiong Tingbi, which was equivalent to losing his troops and land, which made him feel uneasy.
Of course, what you lose from your own hands must be restored by yourself. The sooner you recover, the sooner you will be relieved of the entanglement in your heart.
However, Xiong Tingbi's steady and experienced work is not rash because of his urgency. The more he pushes forward, the longer the supply line will be, and the more he needs to prevent Jiannu's attacks and cut off, or surround the points to attack and attack support.
Because of the new artillery and the fortifications of the trench chest walls, Dalinghe City and Jinzhou are not afraid of Jiannu coming to siege.
However, the supply of artillery will tilt towards Dongjiang Town in the next few months. Liao Town will rely on its stronghold to stick to it, and it will lack a sharp weapon, which will not reassure Xiong Tingbi.
What's more important is the military force factor. After the strategic contraction, the Ming army only needed about 30,000 troops to defend Ningyuan and Juehua with the strong city and the sea.
If you move forward for hundreds of miles, the key points along the way must be stationed to defend the supply line to protect the safety of the supply line. It is definitely not enough to spread 30,000 troops.
According to the plan of the Ministry of War, 15,000 people will be drawn from the Shanhaiguan Guards to enter Liaodong to participate in the war.
According to Xiong Tingbi's adjustment of troops, Ningyuan's defenders were set at 8,000, Juehua, 4,000 Jinzhou, and 3,000 Linghe, respectively.
In this case, Liao Town and the cavalry would have nearly 30,000 troops, and they would be somewhat sure to advance to the Right Guard and even Guangning.
Of course, this is just a little bit sure, which is not enough in Xiong Tingbi's opinion. The main reason is that after moving forward, the northern area is the Mongolian tribes, which makes him feel very worried.
For example, if Yixian cannot stand firmly, Jiannu may go south through this gap and head straight to Jinzhou and Linghe, which is equivalent to stabbing the Ming army in the waist along the long front line.
Relying on the Mongolian tribes, mainly the Khalkha tribes, to block the Jiannu? Not only Xiong Tingbi, but even Zhu Youxiao, who was far away in the capital, also felt that it was too unreliable.
Therefore, Xiong Tingbi is not in a hurry to move forward for the time being, and the emperor agreed with his concerns in his secret reply.
But this is only temporary. The emperor told Xiong Tingbi that by the autumn, the Jingying would send at least 20,000 cavalry into Liao to participate in the war.
These 20,000 cavalry will not only be equipped with some artillery, but also be able to fight against Jiannu in field battles. The confident tone made Xiong Tingbi a little suspicious.
Of course he didn't know what cavalry the emperor was practicing. In autumn, he could fight against Jiannu, who was a fisherman and hunting family, in just over a year?
But judging from the emperor's usual words and deeds, there is almost nothing bragging about, but it is done with all the words, and basically everything that is said is realized.
Moreover, the emperor was obviously taking action. He had successively drawn many officers who were skilled in cavalry from various military towns. There were Yang Guozhu, Huang Degong, Ma Wu and others in Guangliao Town.
Not only that, Xiong Tingbi also saw the emperor's hidden scheming.
Only train in the capital, not promote it to the military town. This is a sudden move and beat Jiannu to a rhythm of falling flowers and falling!
Emperor - quite insidious!
Just as he thought of these two words, Xiong Tingbi quickly closed his mouth. He was very disrespectful and slandered the emperor.
………………………………………
Is I insidious? Well, Zhu Youxiao shook his head, just a little bad thing.
Luo Sigong bowed and stood solemnly, waiting for the emperor's decision.
This plan was proposed by the emperor and was carried out by the Pacification Department.
Luo Sigong felt that the plan would not have much impact on Jiannu, but it was just judging from the current situation. Who knows whether it will play a big role in the future?
Since the emperor wants to play, this is not a big deal. It would be great to make the emperor happy!
After a while, Zhu Youxiao put down his plan and smiled, "Okay, Luo Qing did a good job. Then he sent someone to send Nara Zhongming to Pi Island, and the surrendered Zhenyi, let him go!"
It is not important at all if Nara Zhongming’s original surname and name. As long as he knows his current identity, he is the commander of the Jianzhou Guard of the Xinfeng of the Ming Dynasty.
Speaking of the Jurchens, according to the "Looking of the East Yi", there should be three types: from Tang Station to Kaiyuan, the one who lives in Haixi is the girl in Haixi; when living in Jianzhou, the one who lives in Jianzhou is the girl in Jianzhou; when living in the extreme east is the girl in savage.
Although the Nara family was a Jurchen family, during the Ming Dynasty, the clans lived in Yehe, Ula, Hada, Huifa and various places. Historical records of the Nara family name are: "Although they are one surname, they each have their own clans."
Now I understand. Nara Zhongming's full name should be added to the clan, which is Yehennala Zhongming. Are you quite familiar? It is the same surname as "Lao Buddha" who ended the Qing Dynasty!
Not only that, the surname Yehennara, or the tribe of Yehe, is as close as the sea with the Jianzhou Jurchens, and there is a legend of "Yehe Curse".
At that time, Nurhaci attacked and destroyed the Yehe tribe and completed the great cause of unifying the various Jurchen tribes, and broke his promise to kill the Yehe tribe leaders Jin Taiji and Buyanggu.
It is said that before his death, Jin Taiji cursed, saying, "Even if my descendants have a woman, they will also cover Manchu!"
Regardless of whether "Laofu" was the revenge envoy of Yehe's tribe or not, Zhu Youxiao compiled the Yehe remnants of Nara Zhongming's Yehe vein, with the purpose of dividing and disintegrating the Jurchens.
In addition to the legend of "Yehe Curse", Zhu Youxiao's choice of this surname and tribe was also related to Huang Taiji. Because his mother was Yehenara Mengguzhezhe, who was the sister of Jin Taiji.
If I say that the old slave is cruel enough, he is merciless to his brother-in-law and is still killed after surrendering.
After Ye He's tribe was destroyed, Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty ordered his minister Yao Zongwen to go outside the border to find Ye He's descendants. It was found that Delgale, the son of Jintaiji, had two daughters married to Mongolia and each gave him 2,000 platinum.
Ministers of the Ming Dynasty also submitted a request to build a temple for Jintaishi and Buyang Gu. He also appointed King Shizhong of Hada as his wife and nephew of Jintaiji, and was appointed as the guerrilla position.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao also had some basis for fabricating the descendants of Ye He's tribe. Even if there is no basis, it was just a fig leaf for the disintegration of the Jurchens and the surrender of Zhenyi.
Luo Sigong knew some of the situations, which Zhu Youxiao mentioned to him. He didn't understand why Long Live attaches so much importance to Lao Nu's son.
In terms of performance and strength, except for being a barbarian who reads and reads, there is nothing special about it!
But Long Live looked at Huang Taiji's eyes turning blue. He had already done several tricks and had never finished scoundrels. What do you hate?
Luo Sigong bowed to receive the order and asked for instructions: "After I sent someone to Dongjiang, I spread news everywhere, causing civil strife in the East."
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "It is certain to spread the news, but it is not easy to make the Jiannu civil turmoil. People's minds change, and it is not time to lose their power. These are small means. To eliminate Jiannu, we must still see the truth on the battlefield."
"Long live the wisdom." Luo Sigong gave him a flattery, but it was not all a compliment. At least the emperor had a correct understanding and did not want to rely on these little tricks to pacify Liao.
Zhu Youxiao accepted it with a smile and said slowly: "Although it is not a short-term contribution to pacifying Liao now, the personnel and resources of the Fufu Division should also be appropriately tilted, mainly due to the situation of the various countries and tribes in the Southeast Asian countries. In this regard, I will tell the Maritime Commerce Federation to provide convenience to the Fufu Division."
Although he did not understand why the emperor had to distract himself and began to spy on overseas countries and places, Luo Sigong still bowed to accept the order.
"There has been almost all arranged in Shanxi?" Zhu Youxiao asked, "If possible, let Luo Yangxing come back. I have another mission to hand it over to him."
Luo Sigong hurriedly said, "There are elite soldiers and generals from the Shanxi Pacification Department. Luo Yangxing can return to Beijing immediately and wait for the order to be sent."
The Jinyiwei was an exclusive military intelligence collection agency in the Ming Dynasty. It was first the "Gongwei Department" established by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and later changed to the "Personal Military Commander's Office", which was responsible for protecting a spy agency in the emperor.
Due to its particularity, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the Jinyiwei began to implement the hereditary system.
After each generation of Jinyiwei leaves office, his son will be inherited and replaced. If the son is too young, he can wait until he becomes an adult before taking office, and his older brothers can also be taken over.
If there is really no candidate, you will recruit and select from the private sector. Of course, screening and assessment are quite complicated and strict, so that you can become the Jinyiwei.
Zhu You proofreaded the factory and guards with trust, and did not intend to make fundamental changes to the Jinyiwei hereditary hereditary. For those who did not want to inherit and replace, he also instructed the custody department to relax the control.
It is precisely because the Jinyiwei can be hereditary that Luo Sigong is determined to cultivate his son, hoping that he can take over as the commander. Even if he is not the commander, the commander Tongzhi can be satisfied.
Zhu Youxiao knew that Luo Sigong was old and could not work for a few years, so he was observing who could take over this important position.
According to his qualifications, Liu Qiao, commander, ranked first, but he was not good at conspiracy and tricks. Because of his serious integrity, Zhu Youxiao set him in the position of internal discipline management of the Pacification Department.
As for the others, Yang Jie is good, Luo Yangxing is also very hardworking, and Du Huaimin, who is responsible for inquiring about information from various Mongolian ministries, has done some results.
Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens, the new commander will be born among these three.
Before Zhu Youxiao made a decision, he wanted to take a look. He summoned Luo Yangxing back to Beijing to send an appointment and told Luo Sigong that Xiao Luo was the candidate in his mind. If he did a good job, there would be great hope to praise Xiao Luo.
Luo Sigong was secretly happy, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He heard some things from the emperor's orders before bowing back.
The Jinyiwei is in charge of the outside and the east factory is in charge of the inside. This is a major principle. Sometimes there are crossings, which is normal.
Fortunately, Luo Sigong is old and has a high qualification, and Zhu Youxiao has expressed his favor, so Mr. Wei did not dare to bully the Fufu Department.
But if it is changed to Xiao Luo, can Mr. Wei discuss with him kindly and be willing to be on par with Xiao Luo?
Zhu Youxiao had some concerns, but it was not important now. He took Mr. Wei's secret memorial and started reading.
Han Pingjun Li Qingquan, sent by North Korea, co-magistrate Yin Xuan, the Central Government Officer, and Li Min-seok, the clerk, requested envoys. They have already arrived in the capital and are doing a lot of activities.
At that time, in accordance with the etiquette regulations and procedures of the Ming Dynasty, after the envoys of the vassal state arrived in the capital, they could go to the Qing Lishu Department of the Ministry of Rites to submit documents (memorials or consultations) to the Qing Lishu Department of the Ministry of Rites the next day.
The documents must be submitted to the cabinet ticket after being approved by the Ministry of Rites, and then submitted to the emperor for reading. After the emperor's redemption, they will be sent to the relevant departments for processing.
Therefore, when to discuss the documents submitted, whether to discuss the reply, and when to transfer the cabinet after the reply, the Ministry of Rites plays an important role. Therefore, officials of the Ministry of Rites seem to be idle, but corruption is not rare than other departments.
Zhu Youxiao has rectified the three ministries of soldiers, households and officials, and the Censorate has gradually gained recognition from the emperor under the management of Bi Zisu.
There is no major change in the Ministry of Rites for the time being. First, it is not very important, and second, the emperor has to come one by one, and there has not been any time left yet!
Taking advantage of the request of the North Korean envoys to Beijing, Zhu Youxiao deliberately pretended not to know and asked them to go through normal procedures. At the same time, he ordered Mr. Wei's Dongchang to send people to monitor him closely.
In Uncle Wei’s secret memorial, Zhu Youxiao saw the faces of these officials clearly. Well, he was completely shameless and even more embarrassed.
"... I ask for silver and ginseng. One is called accepting money, and the other is called happy money. The favor is to introduce the purpose of the matter first; the joy is to report the good news and the end of the matter..."
"... Every day, I went to the Huitong Pavilion to ask for money to ask for money to do things and to threaten them with the threat of "the current Ming Dynasty officials should copy the memorial, but the money is very small, and it is easy to do it."
For money, the bribes were so shameless that Zhu Youxiao felt a fever on his face and his anger rose.
Zhu Youxiao also wanted to gain benefits from North Korea and asked North Korea to agree to the conditions so that it could impose a more stringent blockade and siege on Jiannu.
But I am not shameless and ask for it, nor is it for the sake of individuals. It is not like you bastards who read the books of sages but are hypocritical, throwing their faces to foreign countries.
Zhu Youxiao suppressed his anger and wrote a reply to Mr. Wei, asking him to continue monitoring and report the truth.
What is the use of such a bastard official? I can raise your salary for free and formulate pensions after retirement, but I don’t even understand how to repay you for your kindness.
Exiled to the horizon as soon as possible to contribute to the development of Hainan Island, Dongban, and even new overseas enclaves!
Zhu Youxiao felt that he hadn't done anything this year. Well, it's a matter of cracking down on officials and businessmen! But this seems not enough. There are so many shameless officials in the capital, which is also considered his dereliction of duty.
The mediocre are greedy, the exile is exiled, the capable are the honest, and the noble are reused.
