"Long live!" Queen Zhang Yan carefully handed the little doll sleeping on her to the palace servant, calling softly, thinking that she wanted to say goodbye.

Zhu Youxiao looked at his daughter's chubby and tender little face, and somehow thought of Chenyang Shipping and Miannu Pingliao.

"Pearl is free, I'll stay for a while." Zhu Youxiao came to his senses and nodded with a smile.

Zhang Yan's belly bulged slightly, but she couldn't see it if she didn't look close to her. She often came to Changchun Palace to see children, one was because she liked it, and the other was because she wanted to learn parenting experience.

Since she became pregnant, the emperor's favor was not important. She was afraid that the emperor would stay overnight in Kunning Palace. She said it well and just went to bed, but she always tried to touch her feet and was not honest!

"I will leave first." Zhang Yan stood up and gave a slight salute, and with the diligent support of the palace servant, she left the palace.

Zhang Yu'er sent her to the door, bid farewell to her before returning to the hall, standing obediently beside the emperor.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and reached out, pulled over the little girl's mother, and sat next to him. He hugged Yu'er's waist and pinched the soft flesh between his waist and hips.

Yu'er, who became a mother, exudes a mature smell. She can take a bath after the confinement period, which also makes her return to the fragrance of a woman. Well, there is also a frankincense on her body, which smells pleasant.

"Emperor." Yu'er still likes the name of being a slave. She leans her head gently on the emperor's shoulder and whispers: "I don't want to eat greasy all the time. It's too unpalatable to eat salt."

The nurse must have invited her. The two little girls are getting bigger and bigger. Just Yuer feeding her, I am afraid that she will suck her dry.

Zhu Youxiao nodded, hugged Yu'er and lay down on the bed, and smiled and said, "Two little girls, it's hard for your beloved concubine. The nanny has been invited, so you will be more relaxed in the future."

Zhang Yuer giggled and came over to kiss the emperor.

If you kiss me, I can't suffer this loss. I can kiss you twice as much. Zhu Youxiao also tried his best, which made Zhang Yuer's face beat enthusiastically and panting.

Yu'er suddenly reached out to stop the emperor's impulse, covered the spring light's clothes, and gestured to the emperor with her eyes.

Zhu Youxiao turned around and saw a little girl woke up, ate her fingers, opened her eyes wide, and looked at her parents who were booming and rolling around.

What a child who is only forty days knows is useless to see. This is how a person's mind is, and it feels strange when he is looked at. If someone visits private matters, few people should be calm and calm when they are not surprised.

Zhu Youxiao rolled his eyes, reached out to pull out his daughter's face, and said angrily: "If you don't sleep well, why are you looking at so wide?"

Grizzly, the little doll laughed crisply, and then ate his fingers more fragrantly.

Zhu Youxiao smiled helplessly, not angry at all. Such a cute daughter looked happy.

"Your Majesty, you--" Zhang Yuer tidied up her clothes and looked at Long Live tentatively.

Zhu Youxiao touched his beloved concubine's face and said, "Well, I'll come to Changchun Palace to have a meal and bedtime tonight."

"Yes, I'm waiting for the emperor." Zhang Yu'er gave a greeting happily, and the blush on her face had not yet subsided. She was both shy and excited.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

When he returned to the Ganqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao saw the urgent military newspaper sent from Liaonan.

Due to the time difference, this military newspaper wrote about the news that the Three Liaoning Associations used elite troops as temptations to launch a fierce battle with Daishan's troops in the hilly areas and won.

There is no doubt about victory, but the casualties of the Three Liaoning Associations are not small, especially the 1,800 elite soldiers who serve as bait. In the end, including those who were dug out of the dead, only 623 people survived.

Among these 623 people, only more than 400 people were able to continue serving in the army. The number of wounded soldiers may be reduced.

It is not enough to describe it as losing more than half. This is still the elite soldiers and the bravest warriors. Without their bravery and their restraint and attraction, it would be difficult for the Ming army to win.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the not-long description in the battle report and could think of the fierceness and cruelty of the bloody battle between the enemy and us.

The battles of that era were not astonishing carpet bombing, and there was no machine gun shooting like a rain of bullets, but blood and cruelty were not inferior to modern wars at all.

Blood splashed, flesh and blood flew across, broken limbs and arms, corpses were buried, soldiers of the two armies waved weapons to make instant choices. The faces stained with blood were staring out of their eyes...

Zhu Youxiao held this short military newspaper and did not let it go for a long time.

Victory is gratifying and what he wants the most. But if it is just a bounty and a thick pension, Zhu Youxiao believes that it is far from enough.

Heroes should not be treated like this. Even if not every martyr who sacrifices his life for the country can leave his name in history, this is definitely a heroic deed worthy of writing with great ink and heavy colors.

In modern times, there is a saying that "the power of role models is infinite."

The praises and publicity of heroes in war are commonplace and not uncommon.

A role model is a vivid textbook that makes abstract thoughts and behaviors concrete and vivid, visible, and touchable, making people trustworthy, respectable, acquainted, enviable, and learnable.

Raising a high flag is to establish a direction for thought and behavior in people's minds.

Zhu Youxiao is not only familiar with the methods of public opinion propaganda and education, but also has a deep memory. For example, heroic deeds such as ***, ***, ***, and *** can never be forgotten.

Thinking about this, Zhu Youxiao put the military newspaper on the table and ordered in a deep voice: "Come on, call Ni Wenhuan to come."

Ni Wenhuan, the imperial pen, has become the first pen since Wei Guangwei was promoted. However, the emperor was still a little dissatisfied with him and put forward new requirements. He has also been studying hard recently to make Long Live pay more attention.

It was not long, so Ni Wenhuan came to meet. The editorial department of the "Ming Dynasty Forum" was in the room on the east side of the Qianqing Palace Gate. The emperor didn't know when he had inspiration, so he came to summon him.

When he entered the hall to pay homage, the emperor did not say much and asked the palace servant to pass the military newspaper to Ni Wenhuan.

Ni Wenhuan read it once and understood the emperor's intentions, but was not very sure yet, so she tentatively exclaimed: "Such a heroic battle is heart-wrenching to read, and she wished she could fly to Liaodong and fight with Jiannu in a bloody battle..."

Zhu Youxiao rolled his eyes and said to himself: Where can I see the heart-wrenching? Just like you, you are still fighting with Jiannu in blood, and you are scared to death.

However, Ni Wenhuan is really good at guessing the meaning of the holy, and Zhu Youxiao means that.

"Ni Qing asked someone to polish it, so she must write it to the heart and make her bloody blood thriller." Zhu Youxiao said, "I have gained something recently when I listen to books. I have to write it like that. I can understand it if I have read or not."

Ni Wenhuan hurriedly bowed and replied, "Long live the advice, I dare not obey it. I heard of the storytelling books recently, which is quite beneficial. The people of the Ming Dynasty like to hear the storytelling books, regardless of the wise or the foolish. It turns out that it is not unreasonable, but it is indeed appreciated by both the elite and the common people, and it is suitable for both the young and the young."

"Where is the Propaganda Department, how are you preparing?" Zhu Youxiao nodded and asked afterwards.

Ni Wenhuan replied respectfully again: "Long live back, I have found several candidates in the capital, including Liu Mazi and Zhao Tiezui..."

Liu Mazi is good. When Zhu Youxiao heard this familiar name, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Hurry up and do it, I will send you a mission."

Ni Wenhuan was overjoyed, but said humbly: "I don't want to let go, I just want to be by my side and serve the work of a dog or a horse."

Flattery ministers, flattery. However, I still want to use you and believe that you will implement the court's policies without fail.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "I know what you think, you don't have to say right or wrong."

After pausing, Zhu Youxiao warned again: "You know what kind of official I hate. Don't knowingly break it and lose your head."

Ni Wenhuan felt a stern heart, and hurriedly bowed to agree, and expressed his firm belief.

"There is nothing else, Ni Qing will leave!" Zhu Youxiao retreated Ni Wenhuan, thought for a while, called Wang Tiqian, and ordered him to go and order the royal weaving workshop to make a flag.

In addition to praising heroes, giving the hero’s team an honor is also essential. Zhu Youxiao can come up with several things like Tiger Heroes Group, this and that Hero Company, just by slapping his head.

Since it has not yet been defeated and fled under the crazy siege of Jiannu, it should be appropriate to name "Stone".

Zhu Youxiao was not satisfied with giving a flag and name. He also expanded it into a hybrid association based on the surviving warriors. All infantry riding horses must be equipped with a considerable number of artillery and a certain number of flying cavalry.

In this way, a mixed cooperation with complete scholastic, cavalry, cannon and baggage can be used as independent combat units to carry out various military operations.

Liu Aita succeeded anyway, and Liaonan defeated Daishan, and the Korqin tribe was probably unable to escape the collapse. It is certain that Jiannu's strategic situation is even worse.

But the more this happens, the more Zhu Youxiao has to suppress his inner urgency, not be arrogant, and carry out the minu Pingliao to the end.

You should know that Jiannu’s mobile force is about 60,000, but it is not the real total force of Jiannu. If a mobilization is carried out, Jiannu can still do it.

Therefore, Jiannu, who has been repeatedly consumed by casualties, has been weakened a lot, but it is still a relatively difficult task to eliminate it in one fell swoop.

The key is that the Ming army in all directions, including the Ming army in western Liaoning, does not have an advantage in terms of military strength. If you advance rashly, you may be attacked by Jiannu.

This year's war is almost over. If it is to be launched, it should be a good time before the spring next year.

The factors that restrict the Ming army from continuing to launch large-scale battles include weapons, equipment and materials. Continuous construction and transportation are limited for the Ming army in Liaodong, which is more than 100,000 yuan.

The consumption of hot weapons was indeed huge, Zhu Youxiao grinned. He roughly estimated in his mind that it was time for the Ming army in Liaodong to end the military operations, concentrate on training troops, speed up equipment, and stockpile ammunition and food.

Modern warfare has the concept of ammunition base. There was no professional term in this regard in ancient times, but there were also methods for calculating ammunition and drug resources.

It is obvious that the Ming army in Liaodong did not have the logistics supply and material hoarding for the continuous war. However, if the stockpiling was prepared for about half a year, it was exactly the period of Zhu Youxiao's planned counterattack.

Continuous combat and continuous consumption require a large amount of material reserves, which is inevitable. Although it is incomparable to the massive ammunition consumed by wars in later generations, we must also see the huge gap in manufacturing and transportation at that time.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao could not act too hasty. Although the Later Jin Dynasty had been weakened and had fallen into a passive position in the strategic situation, it was not so easy to completely eliminate it.

Now, the two major problems left for Zhu Youxiao are to ensure logistics and supply of grain and ammunition; the second is to strive to drive Jiannu out of Liaochen, or to sweep the periphery first and finally annihilate Jiannu in Liaochen.

The first problem is easier to solve. We will vigorously develop maritime transportation and resettle Liao people in western Liaoning to obtain food and supplies on the spot.

Zhu Youxiao also made a preliminary judgment and had two choices for the second problem, which also needed to be adjusted according to Jiannu's actions.

If Jiannu died and occupied Liao Shen, and even wanted to do so, the so-called "land of dragon prosperity", then he would surround him and annihilate him;

If Jiannu gave up Liaochen and retreated to his old nest Jianzhou, then there would be nothing to say. Just abandon me and continue to oppress and attack.

Even without attacking, just blockade will put Jiannu in a dilemma of shortage of supplies. In addition, the disasters of the Little Ice Age can starve Jiannu to death.

But that was not Zhu Youxiao's standard, and once and for all was the solution to the problem. When the disaster came, the internal problems of the Ming Dynasty and the restlessness of the northern nomadic peoples would be a big problem.

Life is spent in the process of constantly arising and solving problems.

Zhu Youxiao had already walked to the sand table and began to think hard, looking for the fastest and best solution to the problem.

…………………………………………………………

The emperor was still thinking hard in the palace thousands of miles away, but the battle situation in Liaodong had gradually calmed down.

The Ming army in southern Liaoning used the Shahe River and Bili River as barriers to build fortifications between the two rivers and took Fuzhou into his pocket.

He defeated Daishan's troops, forced him to flee north in a panic, and successfully responded to Liu Aita's actions, and captured Fuzhou and Gaizhou. Although he abandoned the Gaizhou Guard, Jiannu's guard was useless and would most likely give up voluntarily.

The two guards in southern Liaoning can be said to have a stable foundation and posed a more powerful threat to Liao Shen. At the same time, Dengzhou, as an important part of the arrangement of all directions, appears a little farther away.

All the construction buildings were moved and tens of thousands of Liao people in the two states were restored, which gave the Ming army a supplementary source of troops and the land and farming labor. The strength could not only be restored quickly, but also be better than before.

At Zhenjiang Fort, Huang Taiji retreated in a setback. The Ming army took advantage of the situation to occupy Danshan Fort and Tangzhan Fort, which gave Zhenjiang Fort a warning and barrier and further reversed the situation against the enemy.

With Gou Zhenhuai, Chen Jisheng and Mao Chenglu, the battle at Dongjiang headquarters was not very expensive, and they firmly restrained Huang Taiji and Du Du's two banners.

Because the Yalu River is available for defense and transport troops, the attack on the Later Jin ruling region was difficult for Huang Taiji and Du Du to prevent.

What they fear most was that the Ming army went up along the Yalu River and attacked the "Land of Dragons", and had to move the troops northward to protect them nearby or to rescue them as soon as possible.
