My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

Chapter 134 The new year begins with temptation

In the Ming Dynasty, as long as the first lunar month is not out, the year is not over.

However, the people's New Year is not over, but the official's New Year is.

After the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, all ministries opened their offices, but the officials found that this day was really sad.

Under the leadership of Bi Ziyan, the Du Branch had not passed the inspection for several consecutive years. They checked the accounts all night long and asked the Jin Yiwei to arrest people while doing so.

Any officials who did not surrender were caught by the Jin Yiwei and sent to jail while their families were having a reunion dinner.

The accounting clerks of the Duzhi Division are all elites scavenged from all over the capital. Any false accounts cannot escape their scrutiny as long as they can enter the treasury for search.

Since the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Caishikou in Beijing has been busy.

Four or five a day, high-ranking officials were beheaded every day, and low-level officials had their homes confiscated every day.

This round of audits in the capital also made the officials in the capital understand.

When the emperor's power can go out of the palace, when the emperor has people who can use it, the officials in the capital are like bugs in the emperor's hands, and they can be crushed to death easily.

However, Zhu Youxiao's thoughts were obviously not on Beijing at this time.

His attention was always focused on the Liaodong intelligence sent back by Jin Yiwei.

Putting the small flag in his hand at Fengji Fort, Zhu Youxiao touched his chin.

"Jiannu is in action."

"Small attempts to establish slaves have appeared in Puhesuo and Fushun."

Touching the map with his fingers, Xiong Tingbi put down the heater in his other hand, and the wrinkles on his face deepened.

"Is this an attack in the east, an attack in the west, an encirclement and reinforcements, or a tentative attack?"

Thinking about the news, Xiong Tingbi considered the meaning behind Jiannu's move.

The news came back overnight that the slave-building army that robbed North Korea had withdrawn to Kuandian Fort for repairs, and a large amount of supplies were being transported to Sarhu through the mountain roads in the ravines.

It is a pity that after several battles, Ye Bushou suffered heavy losses and has never recovered. It is still not possible to figure out where the main force of establishing slaves is gathered.

Only a vague conclusion was reached: a large number of people gathered in Saarhu.

But Xiong Tingbi is a man who knows soldiers well and knows that the main force of the enemy's army cannot be calculated based on the number of people.

Especially nomadic people like the Jiannu could survive for a period of time without logistics.

Today, there are only three ways for Jiannu to go.

The first one is to take Tieling and hit Shenyang from the plain along the Pu River.

The second option is to go to Fushun, out of the mountainous area, and hit Shenyang along the Hun River.

The third method is to take Magendan Fort, leave the mountainous area, and attack Fengji Fort. It can cut off the retreat from Shenyang from the top and enter Shenyang from the bottom.

Fighting Quang Ninh?
Haha, if Jiannu chooses this way, he, Xiong Tingbi, will laugh to death in Liaodong.

Guangning, also known as Liaozuo, is to the west of the Liaohe River, but Liaoshen is to the east of the Liaohe River.

When today's Northeast is the Northeast of later generations, without large-scale road construction and clearing of deep forests, he can travel fifty miles a day, which is considered a fast runner.

If Jiannu dared to do this, Xiong Tingbi would wait for work and push Jiannu down on the road and starve him to death.

To have such an idea, I can only say that I didn’t even look at the map when I wrote it.

Large-scale battles cannot be attacked with just A click of the mouse.

Terrain, army size, servants, and food routes are all things to consider.

"The 1 Leopard Tao Guards are going to Guangning. There is no need to worry about being cut off by the Mongolian tribes."

The relationship between the Ming army in Liaodong and the Mongolian tribes cannot be said to be harmonious, but they are in harmony at times of war.

If these people accept the benefits of establishing slaves and send troops to stab Guangning, his frontline military morale will also be affected.

"Ten thousand new troops are guarding Guangning. Yang Hao has gone to Dingliao as the right guard. I am here to withstand the main force of the slave builders, and I will kill all the old slaves."

Xiong Tingbi nodded with satisfaction as he placed his finger firmly on Sal Hu's position.

Yang Hao didn't fight enough, but he still had the ability to defend the city.

"Sir, there is news from Beijing that your Majesty's newly appointed Liaodong transshipment envoy Yang Sichang will transport [-] stones of grain and grass to the mouth of the Liaohe River via sea and land. It is expected to arrive in five days, and our people will go to pick it up." Just before Xiong Tingbi. When he was thinking excitedly, the messenger came in and reported.

"understood."

Hearing this, Xiong Tingbi put away the map in front of him, picked up a pen and wrote a note.

"Send an order to Liaoyang and ask Sun Chengzong, the governor of Liaodong, to arrange for people to pick him up."

"Yes!"

Since the war in Saarhu, the Shandong prefectures have been transporting grain to Liaodong by sea. Now they have set up a Liaodong Transshipment Department to take charge of this matter.

Now that a new batch of grain and grass has been transported to Liaodong, the burden on his shoulders can be lighter.

North Korea asked the Ming Dynasty to send troops. The credentials to protect North Korea were flapping in his hands, and Zhu Youxiao leaned back in his chair.

He doesn't want to pay attention to North Korea or anything right now.

The current leader of North Korea is the later deposed King Gwanghae Li Hui. This bitch, after the Ming Dynasty devoted all his power to help North Korea fight against the Japanese slaves, he actually dared to be a fence-sitter during the decline of the Ming Dynasty's national power. , Bunujin’s “neutral diplomacy”.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't spare any time, Zhu Youxiao would have wanted to bring Li Hui to the capital and kill him.

Damn, when Salhu was defeated, he sent out [-] troops, but they were useless and ran away when they saw the enemy.

"Your Majesty, how should I reply to this letter of credence?"

Seeing the emperor with a bad look on his face, Sun Ruyou asked carefully.

He was not involved in the recent anti-corruption campaign in Beijing, but there were many people seeking his help.

However, Sun Ruyou ignored it.

As his name suggests, Sun Ruyou is like a swimming fish and will not be easily manipulated.

Historically, Sun Ruyou's resignation was due to Tianqi personally promoting Sun Ruyou to the cabinet, but he was opposed by the ministers on the grounds that he was not recommended by the court. As a result, Sun Ruyou wrote seventeen resignation memorials to become an official while Donglin was gaining momentum.

But now Zhu Youxiao cannot listen to foreign ministers when doing things.

For officials above the fourth rank of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor has the final say.

Dare to beep too much, Jin Yiwei warned.

"How to reply? No reply."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao threw his credentials to Sun Ruyou and said angrily.

"North Korea was asked to send troops to exterminate the slaves, and they gave away 1 people without asking. I heard that these [-] people were sent back intact to the slaves?"

"Too good to be intact."

Hearing this, Sun Ruyou was obviously very dissatisfied with this disobedient younger brother.

"But according to Yang Hao's report, North Korea's losses were probably less than 500 people. At most, the food and grass were stolen by the Jiannu slaves."

"Since they have plenty of food, let the slaves grab it."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao stood up with a sneer and looked at the sand table in the lobby.

"The Yi people are afraid of power but not moral. When the Japanese invaded Korea, how much food was spent on food, how many soldiers and horses were dispatched during the Ming Dynasty, and how many good men died in a foreign land."

"Once it is useful, let them send troops and food, but what will happen to them? They will cry about poverty all day long."

"Since the Jiannu want to plunder North Korea, let them plunder."

"Otherwise, these people won't know who their father is."

"Your Majesty, I'll see you soon."

Hearing this, Sun Ruyou held up his hands and flattered him.

Since the Ming Dynasty's national power declined, it has fallen into a state of indifference to surrounding affairs.

Otherwise, the Korean War would not have happened, and someone would have negotiated a peace in private.

There's nothing we can do, the landlord's family doesn't have much food left.
