My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

Chapter 151 The situation in Liaodong

The Ministry of War has not yet calculated how much silver reward will be required, but Duzhisi is already calculating the amount of silver reward to be distributed based on the report.

As for the emperor of Nanhaizi, he could continue to live his life as he wished.

Soldiers must continue to be trained, coins must continue to be minted, and corrupt officials must continue to be investigated.

Although Zhu Youxiao was happy about Xiong Tingbi's victory over Jiannu, he did not get carried away.

The next Ming Dynasty will face even more severe tests.

Not to mention those natural disasters, just thinking about the war gives people a headache.

The chieftains in Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan and Guizhou, the Jiannu in the northeast, the civil unrest in the country, and the Western barbarians in the southeast must be defeated one by one.

In addition, there are still two old accounts that need to be settled properly with Myanmar in the south and the Japanese people in the east.

However, can Ming's current army win large-scale battles?
No, he doesn't have that ability, you know.

First defeat Burma, then defeat Jiannu, who will be defeated next?

If you fail, your country will be destroyed.

In the situation in Saarhu back then, let alone Yang Hao, even if you dug Han Xin out of his grave, he would take the initiative to get into Lu Pheasant's sack.

Why?If you can't win, there are no prerequisites for winning.

The strategy of the Saarhu War was copied from the work of Chenghua Liting.

To fight the slaves, you must divide your troops into N groups, encircle them in several groups, force the opponent to a position, and accomplish the victory in one battle. This requires that the quality of the troops is high enough.

And once the opponent's main force is released, there will be endless security battles, harassment, harassment, harassment, and the entire Liaoyou will not even think about living a stable life.

The reason why Chenghua Liting was successful back then was because Chenghua had an old battalion that had experienced hundreds of battles.

This army is the real Beijing camp. In the early years of Zhengtong, it fought against Mongolia and conquered Luchuan. During the Tumubao Incident, it was during the rebellion of Pingye Zongliu and Deng Maoqi in Fujian. After returning to Beijing, it infiltrated into the army to win the defense of the capital. In the war, he prepared the Japanese army and prepared the Cao army. During the Jingtai and Tianshun years, he also participated in Pingmiao, Guizhou.

Such an army that was fighting in the south and in the north could defeat the Liaodong Jiannu who had just emerged. Isn't it easy to capture them?

And what does the Ming Dynasty have at this time?After the guard system was ruined, there were not many useful soldiers left.

The five major campaigns of Wanli were Ningxia, Bozhou, Japan, Burma, and Jiannu.

But the problem is that all the battles won were before 1600, and after 1600, the Ming Dynasty never won a large-scale battle.

Why did Yang Hao try to negotiate peace with Nurhachi and say we won’t fight?

Because at this time, the Ming army, especially the Liao army, really had no ability to fight.

But it's a pity that Nurhachi is not stupid. He can't wait for Yang Hao to train in Liaodong for a few years before coming to take him.

Moreover, Wanli and the court officials, one was reluctant to part with the money, and the other was unable to get the money, so they desperately pushed Yang Hao to send troops.

In this case, there are neither strong soldiers nor time to train them, so it is useless for anyone to come.

In order to ensure that the following days will be easy, Zhu Youxiao must have a fighting force in his hands.

However, Zhu Youxiao was slightly disappointed when he inspected the Longxiang Guards led by Zhao and looked at the soldiers practicing equestrian skills.

What's going on with the donkey and mule?

"Your Majesty, apart from the breeders, there are not many horses in Shuntian Mansion that can be used as war horses. In order to let the soldiers practice equestrian skills first, I ordered some donkeys and mules to be brought."

Standing behind the emperor and carefully looking at the emperor's face, Zhao Shujiao said cautiously.

"However, there are only more than 5000 horses available now."

"..."

Hearing Zhao Zhao's words, Zhu Youxiao fell into a strange silence.

"I will send people to find the Mongols to buy horses."

He waved his hand helplessly, Zhu Youxiao said.

The Ming Dynasty's horse administration has long been abolished in recent years.

Suddenly, Zhu Youxiao saw a soldier being kicked in the chest by a mule and flying far away.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao shrank his neck, turned around and asked.

In this hoof, the ribs were 100% broken. "Do soldiers get injured a lot on weekdays?"

"A lot these days."

Zhao Zhijiao also felt the same way when he saw the soldier being kicked out.

"Send people to the imperial hospital, select some young imperial doctors, transfer them to military positions, and serve as military doctors. They will be incorporated into each guard of Nanhaizi and let the soldiers of the guards look at injuries."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao turned to the little eunuch and said.

"The slaves obey the order."

Imperial physician, or doctor, was originally a military position.

However, during the Zhao and Song Dynasties, driven by literati, medicine developed vigorously. There was a saying that good doctors should not be appointed for good ministers. Kou Zhun, Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi and others basically had good medical skills.

By the time of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, imperial doctors officially changed from military positions to civilian positions.

While the emperor was wandering around Nanhaizi, Xiong Tingbi was supervising the soldiers to carry out civil engineering works at Fushun Pass.

Who said that civil engineering was called corvee in ancient times? This is clearly called building a city.

"Nurhaci, if you're brave enough, just fight with me head-on."

Standing on top of the burned-out Fushun City, Xiong Tingbi looked northeast with a smile on his face.

Fushun has been recovered. As long as the city is rebuilt and heavy troops are stationed here, there will be one less leaky hole in Liaodong.

At least it would be difficult for the Jiannu to achieve large-scale invasion through this route.

He saw through the weaknesses of Jian Nu or Lao Nu.

Jiannu did not dare or was unwilling to fight a tough battle.

You can only use the strategy of encircling points to support or using more to attack less.

Once he joins forces, Jiannu will not dare to come forward and fight head-on.

"The emperor's method is good."

After getting down from the city, the troops were carrying out civil engineering work around the barracks.

Holding the pamphlet that the emperor asked him to give to him, Xiong Tingbi could not find his eyes when he was smiling as he looked at the soldiers digging the soil.

The last time Fushun Pass was breached, it was that son of a bitch Li Yongfang who surrendered to Kaicheng as a slave.

Then the slaves looted the place for three days, and the surrounding land was stripped down three feet.

However, now, as long as he pays attention to his employment and has the new method of building a city given by the emperor, he will bring some Ming surprises to Jiannu.

After staying in Fushun for more than [-] days, Xiong Tingbi did not withdraw his troops until he reported that the slaves had retreated to Jiefan at night, leaving [-] soldiers behind. After guarding the Fushun Pass with the commander-in-chief You Shigong, he led his people back to Shenyang City.

The army camped outside Shenyang City, and Xiong Tingbi led the generals to the top of Shenyang City in a big basket.

After seeing Xiong Tingbi, Qi Jin handed over his hands and congratulated him.

"Congratulations to the generals, for annihilating the two white flags of Jiannu and forcing Jiannu back."

"Happy together."

Hearing this, Xiong Tingbi and his generals bowed their hands and returned the greeting.

"General Qi and General Zhang have done a great job in defending Shenyang."

"Thank you Jinglue."

After hearing Xiong Tingbi's words, Qi Jin and Zhang Mingshi quickly returned the gift.

"Open the city gates and welcome the army into the city."

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Zhang Mingshi handed over his hand and asked people to dig open the city gate that was blocked with rubble.

The soldiers outside were digging the city gate, while Xiong Tingbi led the generals back to the Jinglue Mansion.
