Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 346
The Eight Banners Leaders, Baylor, discuss state affairs together, which is the predecessor of the Eight Kings Discussions. When military and political affairs are involved, the Eight Banners Leaders jointly preside over the convening.

The old slaves unified the state, created the Eight Banners system, and brought farming and warfare to the extreme, but at the same time they also raised a group of powerful slave owners.

For example, the core population of Jianlu is less than one million. Whenever a major battle is to start, the slave owners of all banners are often called together to unify their thinking and clarify the combat deployment to ensure that the Eight Banners will not fail in the war, which will lead to the decline of the First World War.

The battle of Saerhu in the Wanli Dynasty is the best evidence.

When Huang Taiji decided to convene Baylor, the leader of the Eight Banners, to discuss state affairs, this would inevitably make the situation before the Liao Dynasty move towards a tense atmosphere.

The Jianlu Eight Banners occupy an absolute dominant position in the entire Liaodong region. This is not something that the Ming army, which has changed its face from slavery, can always contend.

at that time.

Ningyuan City.

"Master... the lower officials are a little confused."

Mao Yuanyi frowned slightly, looked at Sun Chengzong and said: "The four battalions you have worked so hard to build have a total of more than [-] soldiers, and the elites drawn by the Tianxiong Army are the backbone.

Now that it has been prepared, why not take over the city defense of Ningyuan, and instead send them all to the front line of Jinzhou, stationed in the most advanced tunnel defense line?

You have been sitting in Liaoqian these days, and you have always wanted to weaken the influence of the Zu family and the Wu family, but now you have managed to accumulate a strong army, but you are dispatched abroad.

If there is any disturbance in Ningyuan City due to the various arrangements you have implemented before, it will make the Governor's Mansion fall into a passive position. "

"Zhisheng, the governor understands what you said."

Sun Chengzong lifted the sleeves of his robe, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said: "But if the situation on the front line of Jinzhou cannot be stabilized, then what's the use of controlling the defense of Ningyuan City?
Losing the important towns on the front line of Jinzhou, do you think that with the current strength of Liaoqian alone, Ningyuan City can be kept without losing it?

In the past, there were four military battalions formed by the governor, and later, Mangui was in charge of Shanhaiguan. Even these generals and schools in the Liao Dynasty were dissatisfied with what the governor had planned.

Do they really dare to make trouble openly? "

The Ming Dynasty has always been a big game of chess. When Emperor Chongzhen was busy making various arrangements and plans in the capital, the situation in Shanshan, Liaodong, and other places were also quietly changing.

Under the influence of Emperor Chongzhen, Sun Chengzong, who went to Liao again, no longer wanted to build strong cities and strong fortresses in front of Liao Dynasty like the Tianqi Dynasty. .

It turns out.

In an official environment where official corruption and corruption prevailed, even if the Ming dynasty poured more money into the Liaodong front, most of them would be corrupted by former Liao officials and generals.

Since this is such a situation, how could it be possible for Emperor Chongzhen to throw precious money and food into this bottomless pit in Liaoqian?

"Although it is said so."

Mao Yuanyi had a worried look on his brows, and said, "From last month to now, there have been three troubles about wages.

The soldiers and horses guarding the front of the Liao Dynasty seemed to be very dissatisfied with the system of distributing money and food every January.

If this situation is not improved, the official is really worried that there will be mutiny in Ningyuan, or even Jinzhou!

Supervisor, you must pay attention to this matter.

Once there is a mutiny, it will pose a huge threat to the entire defense line in front of Liao, and even the Jianlu Eight Banners who stole western Liaoning will take advantage of the chaos and enter Liao. "

Sun Chengzong narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "The dissatisfaction with the system of distributing money and food every January is actually some greedy generals, and even their personal guards.

The emperor made an excellent decision on this matter. To the greatest extent, the incident of greed for money and food was avoided, so that the soldiers at the bottom could get real money and military rations.

Don't worry, this governor knows how to deal with this matter.

If there is no accident, after some time, a group of elite soldiers under Mangui's command will be transferred from Shanhaiguan to Ningyuan City.

At that time, the governor's office can issue an order to order Zu Kuan and Zu Dale's troops to move to Shanhaiguan.

With Man Gui watching from Shanhaiguan, the governor expected that there would be no change in them. "

With the passage of time before leaving the town of Liaoqian, Sun Chengzong secretly investigated some situations and found that, as Emperor Chongzhen said, there were intricate generals in the Liaoqian area.

In view of this situation, how to clarify, how to suppress, how to divide, how to check and balance is a big problem facing Sun Chengzong.

Now in Sun Chengzong's heart, he has more and more respect for Emperor Chongzhen, and he also understands that Emperor Chongzhen told him that in the next few years, the country will not launch a corresponding offensive against Jianlu from the area before the Liao Dynasty.

Sun Chengzong's biggest intention before he came out of the town of Liaoqian was to completely break up the Liaodong generals in stages to maintain stability in the situation before Liaodong.

At the same time, on Juehua Island, actively plan to build a shipyard, try to produce warships, and restore the naval forces in the western Liaoning waters.

"It's good that the supervisor has a plan in mind."

Mao Yuanyi sighed softly, and said: "I didn't expect that Liaoqian would have such a complicated situation, and I really didn't think much about it before.

No wonder Guochao invested a lot of money and food in the past few years, mobilized a lot of guest troops, and organized a lot of counterattacks in the Liaoqian area.

But in the end, it was all in vain.

If the Liaodong generals headed by the Zu family and the Wu family cannot be completely suppressed, the various armies guarding the front of the Liao Dynasty must be controlled by capable generals.

In the future, if you want to regain Liaodong and suppress the rebellion and build captives, I'm afraid it will be an extremely difficult thing. "

"Zhisheng, this governor always believes in what His Majesty said, that evil never prevails!"

With a firm expression, Sun Chengzong looked at Mao Yuanyi and said, "Don't worry, the matter will be resolved eventually, the situation before the Liao Dynasty is not as difficult as you think.

At this moment, for the layout of the entire Liaodong, not only our Liaodong Governor's Office is working hard, but there are also people working hard in other places. "

Regarding the entire layout of Liaodong, apart from a few people such as Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli, Mao Yuanyi did not know about these secrets involving major layouts.

Now Sun Chengzong is full of fighting spirit, and he never feels much pressure.

After all, in Shandong, in Denglai, and in Dongjiang Town, there are people helping him to share the pressure. Many people are actively working on the overall layout of Liaodong.
