Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 562 Summoned
It was another sunny day, and the Forbidden City was very quiet. There was no outside noise, no right and wrong outside. Teams of guardsmen in armor and holding knives were guarding everywhere, and the flags they planted moved with the wind.

Qianqing Palace.

"This Liu Xingzuo is really a bold man with high skills."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled while holding the memorial, and said to Wang Cheng'en, "No wonder there has been no news about them before. It turns out that they were the Jian captives who robbed the forts of Kuandian. This kind of desperate plan is far more powerful than seizing Zhenjiang Fort and Kuandian. Zhubao, the effect brought about is great."

Wang Chengen smiled, but didn't say anything.

It is not for him to express his opinion on such important military affairs.

Previously, the Dongjiang Army led by Liu Xingzuo did not send any military reports to the capital after recovering Zhenjiang Fort.

Even after corresponding news came from western Liaoning and southern Liaoning, the Dongjiang army did not send back any news.

This also made Emperor Chongzhen always worry about the Dongjiang Army led by Liu Xingzuo.

As an important place adjacent to Liaodong and North Korea, Phi Island is a sea hub. Although it covers a small area, its location is too special.

Want to contain the orderly expansion of Jianlu, whether it is Jianlu moving westward to threaten Liaoqian, or moving eastward to threaten North Korea.

If the Dongjiang army stationed in Pidao can perform its due effects well, the role it will play is beyond imagination.

When Yuan Chonghuan was in the front of Liao Dynasty, he pretended to kill Mao Wenlong without much judgment.

Yuan Chonghuan has his problems, and Mao Wenlong has his problems.

Contradictions are not formed overnight.

However, there is one thing Yuan Chonghuan did absolutely wrong, which no one can get rid of.

That is, after killing Mao Wenlong, he failed to choose a suitable successor to deter the Dongjiang Army stationed in Phi Island, causing its internal chaos to be complete.

Precisely because of this core.

This made Jianlu no longer afraid of Pidao, ensured the stability of southern Liao, and then threatened the stability of Liao, and even threatened the vassal state of Ming Dynasty, North Korea.

The containment at the strategic level has tilted, making Daming more passive in the Liao land, and making Jianlu more rampant and crazy!
"Wang Banban, there are a few things that you need to go to the Supervisor of Ceremonies immediately."

Emperor Chongzhen closed the memorial, stretched out his hand and said to Wang Chengen: "First, convey an oral order to Xishan, ordering them to raise a batch of ordnance, firearms, gunpowder, etc. for the Dongjiang Army in the shortest possible time.

Second, a batch of food and salaries was allocated from internal funds, and Fang Zhenghua was ordered to lead a team to Phi Island urgently, and asked the supervisor of ceremonies to draw up a reward decree, and after I read it, I took them to Phi Island together.

Thirdly, a group of people were dispatched from the inner factory to go to Pidao with Fang Zhenghua, and all the captured young adults and young children were brought back to Gyeonggi and restrained by shackles. The Beijing camp, let the three major battalions perform martial arts with it, and as for the gathering of those young children..."

In response to Liu Xingzuo's achievements in battle, Emperor Chongzhen made corresponding arrangements, rewarding for meritorious deeds and punishing for demerits. This is the criterion of Emperor Chongzhen.

The Dongjiang Army did not seem to stick to Zhenjiang Fort this time, which caused some deviations in the deployment planned by Emperor Chongzhen.

However, the conquests launched in Zhenjiang Fort, Kuandian Forts and other places, including the group of conscripts who fought in the battle, were enough to cause the Eight Banners with insufficient population to suffer considerable losses.

War potential will always determine the trend of regional wars.

As long as Emperor Chongzhen can increase Ming's war potential and reduce Jianlu's war potential, even in the early battles, Ming will not have an absolute advantage.

But if the timeline is extended, then Daming can gradually gain the upper hand until the Jianlu Eight Banners are completely dragged down.

Wang Chengen left Qianqing Palace, and with the will of Emperor Chongzhen, began to deal with these aftermath matters. If these matters can be implemented one by one, it will bring many benefits to Daming.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was in a good mood, came to the place where the map was hung, stared at the map of Liaodong that he had seen countless times, and thought about the current situation in Liaodong.

At present, the entire territory of Western Liao is taken over by Ming Dynasty, most of the three guards in southern Liaoning are occupied by Li Zicheng's troops, Jinzhou Guard is occupied by Ming Dynasty, and Pidao, which hangs alone, can also effectively threaten Jianlu.

Around the black land of Liaodong, Emperor Chongzhen's strategy of containment is gradually stabilizing, and North Korea, which was once conquered by Jianlu, has also begun to change its attitude in private.

time!

As long as Emperor Chongzhen can be given more time, he can find ways to gradually drag down Jianlu and drain Jianlu's vitality on the Liao land.

Support for western Liaoning should be strengthened.

The arms sale to Li Zicheng should be expanded.

Support for Dongjiang should be strengthened.

Trade with North Korea is about to start!
As long as the plans are gradually launched in the Liao region around these core points, then Emperor Chongzhen has reason to believe that while constantly pulling with Jianlu, he can also promote the changes of Ming Dynasty.

"My lord, Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu and other scholars from the Disaster Relief Administration, please see me outside the hall."

Outside the Qianqing palace, an eunuch on duty walked in and bowed to Emperor Chongzhen.

"Xuan!"

Emperor Chongzhen said concisely.

As soon as the aftermath of the Dongjiang Army was resolved, Yan Yingyuan and the others came. Emperor Chongzhen was in a better mood, and he had to take a steady step forward with regard to the reform plan of Western Liaoning.

"I am waiting to meet your Majesty."

"Excuse me."

Looking at Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, Li Yan, Song Xiance, Niu Jinxing, Gu Junen, Du Yinxi and other scholars from the Disaster Relief Administration, Emperor Chongzhen smiled. These scholars in front of him have all turned black compared to before, and they have all changed. Strong, through their eyes, what Emperor Chongzhen saw most was perseverance and calmness.

It was Emperor Chongzhen's decision to use the most complicated places for disaster relief and let these potential scholars go to the most basic level to be honed and beaten.

Compared with talents selected through imperial examinations, what Emperor Chongzhen needed were talents who could truly govern the region and do more practical things for his rule.

Perhaps the reform of the imperial examination cannot be touched, but Emperor Chongzhen can still cultivate a group of talents through other channels and use various methods to recruit them.

"You are all scholars under the jurisdiction of the Zhili Disaster Relief Office. In the secret memorials submitted to me by Lu Qing, I often see your names, including everything you have done."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled, looked at Yan Yingyuan and said: "It seems that the decision to let you stay away from the capital and go deep into the local area to do some practical things is undoubtedly correct. I am very pleased with what you have done. Looking at your actions I'm even happier with the change.

Lu Qing can bear the pain to part with you and recommend you to Beijing, I can think of Lu Qing's reluctance.

However, considering the current situation, I need you talented people to take on heavier responsibilities for me, for the country, and for the court, so as to share my worries and worry about the country. "
