Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 348 What is inserted is the heart's nest

As a child of Xu Guangqi, Sun Yuanhua treated Western learning very openly, and was even baptized into the religion under Xu Guangqi's recommendation.

A group of talents active in the late Ming Dynasty, especially proficient in the development of firearms, have a common characteristic.

That is to be very open-minded towards Western learning and willing to accept knowledge other than Ming Dynasty.

Not a few people were even baptized into the religion.

It's just that such a behavior is unacceptable to the conservative scholars of the Ming Dynasty, and even the official circles of the Ming Dynasty.

"Meet General Liu!"

Liu Xingzuo was a little surprised by Wallace's correct accent, including the posture of bowing and saluting. He didn't expect this Western barbarian in front of him to know so much.

"Liu Shuai, let me introduce you."

Sun Yuanhua stretched out his hand and said: "Wallace Guides is a native of Portugal, and his Guides family is a family of knights in this country."

Hearing the awkward name, Liu Xingzuo frowned slightly, what Wallace, what Gides, what is the first and last name.

Influenced by the Age of Discovery, the countries of Europe at that time crossed the sea by boat, went to all affluent regions, and opened up overseas colonies.

It's a pity that in the private trade with Daming, the three items of tea, silk, and porcelain, the silver they plundered, most of them were remitted to Daming territory.

To be honest, Zheng He made seven voyages to the West in the Ming Dynasty, the farthest being Africa. Unfortunately, due to the influence of old ideas, the Ming Dynasty failed to set off a wave of great voyages.

If the dividends of the great voyage can be distributed well, maybe at this moment, there are Ming people all over the distant European countries.

"General Liu, I clearly know that you have all kinds of doubts and doubts about the Western Musketeer Battalion that I lead in your heart at this moment."

Wallace bowed slightly, and said, "But I will prove to you that on the battlefield, the Western Musket Battalion will definitely live up to the commission paid by Governor Sun.

However, this time I am going to fight Liaodong, against what you call the Jianlu Eight Banners. I hope to participate in the planning, so that I can be sure that the Western Musketeer Battalion will play its biggest role. "

Liu Xingzuo: "..."

Looking at Sun Yuanhua who kept smiling, although Liu Xingzuo had various doubts about the Western Musketeer Battalion led by Wallace in his heart.

But considering that Dongjiang Town still needs support and supplies from Denglai and Denglai, Sun Yuanhua should not be offended by these things anyway.

"So, I'll wait and see for the commander." Nodding slightly to Sun Yuanhua, Liu Xingzuo looked at Wallace and said, "Vice General Liu, lead Wallace and the others to station at the General Military Mansion."

"Here!"

When Liu Xingpei heard the words, he immediately responded, and then endured his doubts, he stretched out his hand to Wallace, ready to lead them to the General Military Mansion in Dongjiang Town.

Influenced by Emperor Chongzhen, Sun Yuanhua went to serve as governor of Denglai ahead of schedule, and because of the strategic planning of Liaodong, after Sun Yuanhua took office in Denglai, the scale of the Western Army recruited increased a lot.

If it weren't for the fact that the previous court was in a turbulent situation, Sun Yuanhua's behavior like this would inevitably be impeached by the court official Yushi.

"Liu Shuai, this time Dongjiang Town is planning a sea raid, why did you choose Jinzhou Guard? Instead of landing from Shicheng Island and launching an offensive against Xiuyan City?"

Seeing Wallace and the others leave, Sun Yuanhua expressed his doubts, "According to what I know, Jianlu has a large-scale navy under the Jinzhou Guard.

If this raid at sea causes the Jianlu navy to notice the change, will it be..."

Since the reign of Tianqi, he has followed Sun Chengzong, went out of the town of Liaoqian, and fought against Jianlu, and before that, he followed Yuan Chonghuan out of the town of Liaodong, which made Sun Yuanhua have a better understanding of the entire situation in Liaodong.

Regarding Liu Xingzuo's sea raid, Sun Yuanhua was still a little worried, but considering that this was Dongjiang Town and it was the first time to implement the will of the emperor, he didn't want to interfere too much.

"Governor Sun, it is precisely because Jianlu has a naval force under the rule of Jinzhouwei that Dongjiang Town wants to catch him by surprise and go straight to Jianlu's so-called heartland in southern Liaoning."

Liu Xingzuo said with a serious expression: "Last year, Jianlu detoured through Mongolia and invaded our Daming Pass, and was defeated by His Majesty's personal conquest. The Eight Banners under his command must have suffered a lot of losses.

Although the Jianlu Eight Banners are very strong on the battlefield, there are many internal constraints, and there are even many hidden contradictions.

According to my understanding of Huang Taiji, I am afraid that if he invades Ming Dynasty first, he will definitely withdraw a lot of soldiers from southern Liaoning.

Counting the previous construction of the Eight Banners, it took a lot of trouble to move all the Liao people from Jinzhouwei, Fuzhouwei, and Gaizhouwei to Liaoyang and other places.

In fact, southern Liaoning at this moment is more like an empty shell, strong on the outside but capable on the inside.

If this campaign can capture the Jinzhou Guard, kill the Jianlu Eight Banners stationed there, and destroy the Jianlu Navy in one fell swoop, then the strategy after the encirclement will be extremely beneficial to our Ming Dynasty. "

Compared with Mao Wenlong who was executed by Yuan Chonghuan without permission.

Liu Xingzuo knew Jianlu far better than Mao Wenlong. After all, before Liu Xingzuo returned to the Ming Dynasty, his status in Jianlu's Eight Banners was extremely high.

It's a pity that Liu Xingzuo, who returned to the Ming Dynasty, was not reused, but was suppressed by Mao Wenlong. This is called Liu Xingzuo who bears a blood feud, and he is very depressed and irritable deep in his heart.

Until Emperor Chongzhen's imperial decree was spread from the capital to Pidao thousands of miles away, Liu Xingzuo was promoted to be the general officer in charge of Dongjiang town affairs, and even given corresponding responsibilities and burdens. This is called Liu Xingzuo's heart, full of fighting spirit again.

"Liu Shuai, I'm on your territory, congratulations on your victory in advance!"

Seeing Liu Xingzuo's firm eyes and explaining why he chose Jinzhouwei, Sun Yuanhua didn't say anything else, and clasped his fists at Liu Xingzuo.

"Borrow Governor Sun's auspicious words!"

Liu Xingzuo clasped his fists and said: "In this battle, Dongjiang's calmness will not disappoint the emperor's high hopes, and Jianlu will definitely be dealt a heavy blow in the Jinzhouwei area.

As long as the Jianlu navy is destroyed by our Ming Dynasty, in the next few years, our Ming Dynasty will have an active advantage in all kinds of sea raids launched around the entire southern Liaoning.

Tomorrow, my Dongjiang army will go to battle! "

Seeing Liu Xingzuo with high fighting spirit and Sun Yuanhua standing with his hands down, he felt sorry and sighed in his heart, the Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven after all.

Since you choose to trust Liu Xingzuo, you should really give him the corresponding privileges. This time, the Dongjiang Army can successfully attack the Jinzhou Guard and achieve the predetermined results, which will have a considerable impact on the entire situation before the Liao Dynasty.

Deep down in Sun Yuanhua's heart, he was looking forward to what kind of results Liu Xingzuo would achieve in the battle against Liaonan led by his troops.
