Chapter 254
After some comparisons, Yang Reform finally selected Lin Danhan as his teammate and spent a lot of money to support Lin Danhan.

"Okay... Now that we've finished talking about who we form an alliance with, now let's talk about cleaning up Mongolia. Everyone has heard about it just now. The Mongolian right wing, that is, the Mongolian tribes outside my border wall, this, is It must be cleaned up. Anyone who has taken refuge in Donglu and disobeyed my court will be cleaned up. That tribe should be cleaned up, and that tribe should be taken refuge in. This is the responsibility of the Military Intelligence Bureau. Reorganize into the Imperial Association Army, obey our army's orders, and assist our court to fight. Our court is responsible for distributing a certain amount of food and salaries. Those who refuse to accept our court will organize the Imperial Association Army to attack tribes that do not accept our court. The Royal Association Army will be rewarded for fighting well , Not good, punishment, the person responsible for suppressing the Imperial Association Army is Man Gui, Man Gui is more familiar with Mongolia, how to deal with it, don’t ask me to teach you?” After Yang Reform settled the biggest unknown, the rest, There is nothing to discuss, and I am ready to go directly to my own strategy.

"I understand that on the grassland, the voice with big fists is the loudest, and I will definitely make those tribes obey." Man Gui stood up and answered happily. Since the beginning of the discussion until now, he has been holding back his words. Now that he finally had a chance to speak, he shouted out immediately, Man Gui's favorite thing is to fight, and fighting makes money.

Yang Reform walked to the front of the sand table, pointed at the sand table with a stick and said, "Man Gui, your 6000 troops are divided into six teams of [-] people, and each team is responsible for an area, and is responsible for cleaning the front of Ji, Xuan, and the big side walls." The Mongolian tribes that are not willing to be incorporated, the thousand-man team, are generally only responsible for suppressing the Mongolian Imperial Association Army, and the battle is generally in charge of the Imperial Association Army. The Mongols fight the Mongols, you know? Don’t fight easily. The certainty of victory, without the certainty of victory, it is strictly forbidden to fight, understand?" Yang Reform said.

"Return to Your Majesty, I understand that if you win the battle, let the Imperial Association Army fight. If you are not sure, you are not sure, so as not to hurt morale." Man Gui replied loudly. The emperor really gave him a good job. When others go to war, the credit belongs to themselves. Where can we find such a thing?
"Very good, you can understand what I mean. Of course, if a thousand-man team is not enough to suppress or eliminate the tribes that do not obey our dynasty, you can gather several thousand-man teams. Now most of the Mongolian right wing has been killed by Lin Danhan It's almost there, you have 6000 people in your hands, if it's good, you can also have tens of thousands of Imperial Army to cooperate with you in fighting, cleaning up Mongolia should not be a big problem, if you are encountering difficulties, don't be head-on, hehe, this The drought has been very dry for a few years, let him be proud for a while, and then he will have no food, so he will naturally have to give in..." Yang Reform gave another order.

"I understand, if you can't fight, don't fight hard. If you don't have food to eat, he will naturally surrender." Man Gui shouted loudly again.

"Okay, it's good that you understand. In addition, I have found a backup for you, that is, Zhao led to teach General Zhao. When you encounter difficulties, General Zhao will be your backup, support you, and let you have no worries." Yang Reform put another insurance on Man Gui,
This time Man Gui was not happy, and said: "Your Majesty, I don't want Zhao's assistance."

"Oh, why is that?" Yang Reform asked in puzzlement. Seeing Man Gui like this, he was very dissatisfied with Zhao Ledjiao.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I don't want to be with that person surnamed Zhao. This person is dirty, greedy for life and afraid of death, and not worthy of association. I disdain to be with this person. If I want him to help me, I'm afraid I won't know how he will die when the time comes." Man Gui was very angry with Zhao Ratejiao. If it wasn't on the platform or in front of the emperor, he probably wouldn't have stayed in the same room with him, or would have started a fight long ago.

Seeing Man Gui yelling in front of the emperor that he would not be with him, Zhao Lijiao was not only not angry, but blushed all the time, as if he had done something wrong, and did not argue with Man Gui, but just lowered his head and asked Man Gui to say, Dare not argue.

"...Hehe..." Yang Huaihe looked at the expressions of the two people and felt a little interesting. It seems that Man Gui has a deep grievance with Zhao Ratejiao!This Zhao rate teacher, would not really do anything shameful, and now, Man Gui humiliated him in front of his face, and he didn't make a sound.

"Hehe, Man Gui, do you hate Zhao Liaojiao very much? Tell me why." Yang Reform decided to find out.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, back then, the man surnamed Zhao was in trouble and was besieged. I personally led a bloody battle to rescue him and relieve him of the siege. Last year, I was besieged by the Eastern Captives and needed someone to rescue him. As a result, this guy was greedy for life and afraid of death. Come by yourself and send a garrison here. Your Majesty, tell me, is this person not worthy of association? Is he greedy for life and afraid of death? Therefore, the minister dare not wait for him to rescue him now. At that time, he is afraid of being killed by him .” What Man Gui said was straightforward.

Man Gui said proudly that Zhao Lijiao listened, but just lowered his head, blushed and remained silent.

Hearing this, Yang Reform thought it was funny, this man Gui was indeed very straightforward, such a person, with clear grievances and grievances, was easy to untie his knots, unlike some people who reconciled on face, but were jealous and resentful in their hearts. After thinking about it, I came up with an idea.

Yang Reform left Sun Chengzong behind and gave Sun Chengzong a wink. Seeing the emperor winking at him, Sun Chengzong understood, so he stood up and scolded Man Gui. As soon as the boss showed his power, Man Gui turned from a tiger with teeth and claws into a sick cat.

"Man Gui, you can see clearly, this is the capital, and this is His Majesty's platform. Your Majesty invited you here to ask for advice, and General Zhao, just like you, to discuss state affairs, not for you to lose your temper. If you lose your temper, first look at where this is. This is the place where you lost your temper? You fought bloody for the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty has not forgotten it. His Majesty also remembers your kindness, and appointed you an official and noble title. Has His Majesty ever treated you badly? You are fine. At the critical moment that concerns me, Ming Guozuo, when His Majesty needs you, you will lose your temper. Is it possible that without you Mangui, the Ming Dynasty will not survive? It looks like, Your Majesty is treating you in vain..." Sun Chengzong scolded Man Gui, and turned Man Gui from the aggressive look just now into a deaf head and dared not speak out.

Man Gui was promoted by Sun Chengzong back then. He had the kindness of promotion and the kindness of knowing him. He directly served under Sun Chengzong. Sun Chengzong was his old boss. The boss taught me a lesson, now that the old boss is showing off his power, Man Gui immediately deflated like a deflated ball.

Yang Reform laughed secretly in his heart, this Sun Chengzong is still very powerful, as expected, he can hold his ground, but Man Gui didn't even have the courage to reply.After Sun Chengzong finished singing the bad face, Yang Reform was ready to sing the red face.

"Hehe... Man Gui, I know that you have been wronged and dissatisfied in your heart, but now that state affairs are the most important thing, you and General Zhao are the pillars of my Ming Dynasty. If you don't get along, it is not my Ming Dynasty's loss. I can't bear such a loss. Now, I will be a peacemaker, and I will mediate for you. Tell him about the grievances between you, and correct your mistakes. You also give General Zhao a chance, what do you think? "Yang Reform is going to be a peacemaker. This general disagreement will definitely cause bad things in the future. We have to make up for it while we still have time.

Man Gui was scolded by Sun Chengzong, and he was so deaf that he didn't dare to say anything. Seeing the emperor talking to him kindly, he felt that the emperor treated him very well, and remembering how many times the emperor had given him money, he felt that the emperor was a good person. The emperor, seeing that the emperor wants to reconcile the grievances between himself and Zhao Shujiao, there is no such big resentment in his heart. In fact, what Man Gui resents is that Zhao Shujiao didn't come to rescue him personally, but Zhao Shujiao sent him to save him anyway. It's not that he didn't save him because of the deployment. Thinking of this, Man Gui's resentment disappeared a little.

Seeing that Man Gui kept his head down and did not speak, Yang Reform asked again: "General Zhao, is it true that General Man said that you will not rescue him yourself?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing. I used to be very good with General Man. General Man saved my life. Back then, I was besieged by the Eastern captives for several months. I thought that my defeat was imminent. It was General Man's bloody battle, so I solved it." The siege of the minister is like the reborn parents of the minister. The minister is grateful to the general, but he is timid and fearful. Last year, when the general was surrounded by the Eastern captives, the minister was greedy for life and afraid of death. He did not dare to go to the rescue, so he only sent his subordinates Rescue, I am really sorry for General Man, I am ashamed, I have always wanted to find a chance to make amends, but why..." When Zhao Rate taught, his head was lowered, and when he finished speaking, his head was even lowered into his crotch. Zhao Ratejiao is much older than Man Gui, and it takes courage for an elderly person to apologize to a young one.

"Okay, just dare to admit it. Hehe, General Zhao regretted this matter. Don't worry about it too much, give General Zhao a chance to admit his mistakes, and give General Zhao a chance to correct his mistakes, how about it? Look at General Zhao, he is older than you, and you are younger. Don't worry too much about young people. You should be more magnanimous, right?" Yang Reformed.

Man Gui slammed his head, seeing the emperor's good words, and mediating from it, the resentment in his heart had already been eliminated, and said: "I listen to your majesty."

"Okay, General Zhao, now that General Man has agreed, then you should admit your mistake to General Man. If you admit your mistake, this matter will be exposed."

So, Zhao Ratejiao lowered his head and confessed his mistake to Man Gui, who was deaf and deaf.Man Gui didn't respond, and continued to lower his head, waiting for Zhao Ratejiao to admit his mistake, "Mmmm" a few times, it was accepted.

"Okay, I've admitted my mistake, but, General Zhao, you still lack the favor of General Man, the favor of going to rescue General Man personally. Now you are the backup of General Man, and when he is in danger that day, When rescue is needed, you will personally lead the troops to the rescue, which is considered to be full of Gui's favor, how about it, General Zhao?"

"Your Majesty understands, I obey your orders. If General Man is in danger in the future, I will go forward to rescue the siege without hesitation. You will never be greedy for life or fear of death. Your Majesty will take care of you." Zhao Liaojiao said confidently, his eyes were red, I just cried out, we went to the battlefield together, that kind of relationship is the strongest, it can be regarded as crawling out of the dead, but because of my own reasons, I lost this kind of friendship, and Zhao Lijiao hated himself for being cowardly back then and hesitate.

"Okay, since the two are reconciled now, I will continue to talk about the next thing." After mediating the conflict between the two subordinates, Yang Reform began to arrange his own strategy. Man Gui and Zhao led There is no need to doubt Jiao's loyalty to himself. Others died in the matter of King Qin, so Yang Reform naturally does not want to see the two of them turn against each other.

"Mangui's six thousand-man teams are responsible for suppressing the Mongolian Imperial Association Army and cleaning up the disobedient tribes on the Mongolian right wing. Zhao led the teaching to station in the capital, received new equipment and new training, and was ready to go out to support General Man at any time. After the training was completed, Then replace General Mangui's men and horses back to Beijing to receive new equipment and new training. It is necessary to ensure that the entire army has unified training and unified equipment. In this way, when commanding operations in the future, they can use their fingers like a finger... The information is provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau. Support, the Military Intelligence Bureau is responsible for contacting and contacting matters, and I will send ministers to supervise..." Yang Reform arranged.

"Your Majesty, why do you still need to receive new training?" Man Gui was extremely reluctant. He was confident that his soldiers were all the best of the best and had survived the battlefield, so there was no need for any new training.As for the equipment, he coveted it. He regarded the telescope that the emperor gave him last time as a treasure, and the pistol was also a treasure.

"Hehe, Man Gui, I ask you, do you want to command more people? Could it be that you can only command 6000 people?" Yang Reform asked with a smile. It was inexplicably kind.

"Yes, of course I want to..." Man Gui blurted out, as a general, who doesn't want to have as many subordinates as possible.

"Hehe, since you want to, let me ask you, do you have to be an experienced veteran or a novice who doesn't know anything?" Yang Reform asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, of course veterans are the best. Ten recruits are not as good as one veteran. On the battlefield, recruits are the easiest to die." Man Gui also said it casually.

"Hehe, this is over. You all know that veterans are good, but the question is, where can I find veterans for you? Today's veterans have all survived the battlefield. Where can I find you ten middle-aged soldiers?" Go to the next veteran? I will add a thousand veterans to you. Doesn’t it mean that I will lose [-] recruits in the future? Do you think this is good? So, if your troops suffer losses in the future, the only thing you can replenish is to suffer. A quasi-veteran who has undergone long-term training can become a qualified veteran after seeing a little blood, understand? Therefore, I want you to train, and I want you to be familiar with the content of the training and the way of commanding. In case of loss, I can replenish you with quasi-veterans who have completed training in time, and you can directly command them to continue fighting, which is not better than once you lose the battle, you will never get back up?" Yang Reform explained with a smile.

After some explanations from the emperor, Man Gui suddenly realized that the emperor was doing it for our own good!You are right, today's elites, one dies and one less. If you want to become an elite capable of fighting, it doesn't count if you don't crawl out of the dead. Therefore, there are many soldiers, but very few elite veterans. If, as the emperor said, there are trained quasi-veterans to replenish in time, and everyone has been trained in the same training method and have the same equipment, then he can indeed persist in fighting for a long time, lose a batch, and replenish One group, as long as the arrogance is still there, it will never be the same as it is now. Once one's own veterans lose too much, their combat effectiveness will drop sharply, and they will not be able to get back up for a long time.

"Your Majesty is holy..." Several people raised their eyebrows and praised the emperor one after another. Sun Chengzong had known the emperor's plan for a long time, so he also smiled slightly.

……

"His Majesty, I would like to ask something." Sun Chengzong said.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Yang Reform asked.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask Your Majesty, how are the areas in charge of General Man's thousand-man team divided?" Sun Chengzong asked.

"Oh, this? Each thousand-man team is responsible for a certain area. From the map, the straight-line distance from Shanhaiguan to Datong Pass is only more than 1000 miles. Each thousand-man team is responsible for two to three hundred miles, two to three hundred miles. , at the speed of cavalry, it can be reached within a day or two, and it can be regarded as mutual response." Yang Reform explained that this is completely working on the map and on the sand table, dividing more than 200 miles for each thousand-man team Calculated, each thousand-man team is only more than 200 miles away. This is really nothing to the cavalry on the grassland, and it can be effectively maneuvered and managed.

"My Majesty, I believe that the herdsmen on the grassland live by water and grass, not to mention the severe drought in the next few years. Therefore, they cannot do without water and rivers. I believe that Your Majesty can use the river to transport grain and food. For the disaster victims outside the customs, why not focus on the river, and each team of thousands of people is responsible for a river, and they can get twice the result with half the effort." Sun Chengzong suggested.

"Well, Master Xu is right. It really makes sense. Nomads also need water, they need rivers! Indeed, it is much easier to just follow the river to clear them up. Well, just follow Master Sun's advice." If you want to do it, then Master Sun, tell me how to arrange it specifically?" Yang Reform immediately accepted Sun Chengzong's suggestion, indeed, dividing each team of thousands of people into a certain distance is not as good as cleaning along the river, there is no water , without rivers, in the dry season, what else can nomadic tribes do except wait to die?As long as I just sit and wait in a place with water, this is much simpler and feasible.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I looked at the sand table. Outside the side wall, there are Qinglong River, Luanhe River, Chaohe River, Dongyang River, Little Yellow River, Yellow River and other major rivers marked. The Yellow River is not counted. Among them, the Luanhe River is the largest and has branches. The most and the widest river basin, so more people can be sent here. For other rivers, a thousand-man team is enough. When you go out to clean up the Mongolian tribes, you can set up camp on the spot, just like the Mongolians. If you need to repair, you can enter the side wall Inside, you can rest assured that Qinglong River has Lengkou or Jielingkou for stationing and repairing, Luanhe River has Xifengkou, Hanerzhuang can be stationed, Chaohe River has Chaohe Station, Dongyang River has Chaigou Fort,... In this way, it is much more convenient to advance or retreat during the suppression, what does your majesty think?" Sun Chengzong said while pointing out to the emperor on the sand table what the name of the river and the fort of that place were, and it was very easy to station there. clear.

Yang Reform looked at Sun Chengzong pointing on the sand table, and then looked at the distribution of rivers. Sure enough, every certain distance, there must be a river passing through the Great Wall and flowing into the pass. This is indeed very suitable according to what Sun Chengzong said. The existing guards and fortresses in the pass are stationed and repaired. When they go out to clean up the Mongols, they only need to go up the river to find the enemy.

"Okay, very good, Master Sun is really a great talent! In this way, the matter of clearing up and suppressing is much simpler, the supplies are much more convenient, and it is much safer when repairing! Just follow what Master Sun said." Yang Reform The original plan was to divide each thousand-man team into a fixed area. As for supplying there and repairing there, I really didn’t think much about it. Now that Sun Chengzong reminded me, I think it’s much better than my own. Do as Sun Chengzong said.

After hearing Sun Chengzong's words, Man Gui was also very happy. Sure enough, his old boss treated him well. The purge that used to have no fixed place has now become a place where you can go in and go back to the pass for repairs. This is comparable to that of the emperor. That is much stronger. The emperor has never been out before, so he doesn't know how cold it is outside the pass. In winter, there is no place to repair and avoid the severe cold. It will be deadly!So, Man Guihan smiled, nodded and bowed to Sun Chengzong.
