Chapter 257
Yang Reform thought about it for a long time, and said: "Yuan Aiqing, in this way, outside the customs, you are responsible for the arrangements. For training, I will send you a group of personnel to assist you. First, try to train a small group outside the customs, and expand while experimenting. Like Mao Wenlong, the army can be divided into three classes. The first class is elite soldiers who fight to the death. They are required to fight against Donglu without retreating. They are garrison soldiers, who are only required to defend the city, and generally do not require field battles. They only cooperate with the first-class combat, and the treatment is second; the third class is the militia and township soldiers. What do you think?"

It's not good for Yang Reform to completely reject Yuan Chonghuan. This unified supplement, unified training, and unified configuration are also the future development direction of the army and the goal of Yang Reform in the future. In some people's minds, they are still a baby who doesn't understand the military. If they reform the military rashly, something will go wrong at that time, and it will only make the wild boar skin cheaper. The past two years are the key. There are battles every year, so it's still not a problem. good.Yang Reform still decided to press this matter for the time being, and wait for the training of the few troops at hand to achieve results and record, and then slowly adapt, the risk is much smaller.

Yuan Chonghuan was very disappointed. The emperor didn't push away such a good idea, and he didn't promote it. He didn't know what the emperor was afraid of or what he thought.If it was in the past, Yuan Chonghuan might have argued with the emperor, but now, Yuan Chonghuan feels that there is no need to argue. The emperor should know much better than himself what to do. Since the emperor wants to do this by himself, then he should do it by himself.

"I obey." Yuan Chonghuan replied expressionlessly.

Man Gui and Zhao Ratejiao looked at the emperor strangely, and also looked at Yuan Chonghuan strangely. Sure enough, the army entering Beijing was different from other armies. It turned out that the rumor that this army entered Beijing was the emperor's pro-army was true. .Otherwise, why couldn't Yuan Chonghuan ask for unified training, unified configuration, and unified supplementation?
Man Gui and Zhao Lijiao were secretly delighted, while Yuan Chonghuan remained calm.

"Okay, now you have all heard Fang Hongzan talk about Donglu's combat characteristics, and I will add a few more words. When fighting a war, you must first figure out who your opponent is, whether it is an elite, a slave, or a vassal. The Mongols of Donglu, this one, all scored clearly, don’t make Tian Ji’s horse racing problem, understand?” Yang Reform also asked, for fear that his subordinates would be confused in the future, and they would be exhausted when encountering slave soldiers. Go all out, catch the elite when you meet them.

"The ministers are taking orders." Everyone replied together again.

……

Yang Reform sees that he has finished talking about Liaodong outside the customs, and now it is time to talk about Dongjiang, but now that Mao Wenlong is not here, Yang Reform is going to talk about it himself.

"Just now, I talked about the Mongolian right wing and the Jinning line of defense. Now, let me talk about Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town..." Yang Reform thought for a while, and began to organize his words.This Mao Wenlong is a problem, my hand is still not long enough, Mao Wenlong is the weakest part of my control, although Mao Wenlong said it is very good from the letter, but the actual situation is that I have to control Dongjiang through Mao Wenlong, Yang Reform even suspected that in Dongjiang Town, his imperial decree was not as effective as Mao Wenlong's words, but there was no way to do it. Dongjiang Town was established by Mao Wenlong, and when many generals outside the pass were in a mess, such a wonderful flower came out. , is also a character, Yang Reform thinks he can't control Mao Wenlong well now, so he hesitates again and again when he speaks.

"On the Dongjiang side, I have asked Mao Wenlong to re-divide according to the three-level military system. He will send troops to contain the Donglu from time to time, preventing the Donglu from advancing westward with all his strength. This can relieve the pressure on the Jinning line of defense and Lin Danhan..." Said At this point, Yang Reform felt that he had nothing to say. This Dongjiang Town was indeed his weakness. His understanding of Dongjiang Town was really limited, and his control over Dongjiang Town was really limited.

Glancing at Fang Hongzan, Yang Reform didn't say anything.

"Speaking of Dongjiang, I have one more thing to say. In the next two years, there will be a severe drought outside the customs. Food, ammunition, and supplies will definitely become the top priorities. I will send personnel in a unified manner to form a unified yamen to manage the entry and exit of the customs. Matters, including personnel, goods, taxation, etc., especially food and arms, will be strictly controlled. Those who leave the customs without permission can be killed on the spot as surrendering to the enemy. Those who sell goods outside the customs without permission, It is also considered as an enemy and killed on the spot. If you want to go outside the pass, you must get the permission of my yamen. , once investigated, the goods will be confiscated, and people can kill them on the spot. Even if they are allowed, they can only sell the goods stipulated by me. Anyone who brings in unauthorized goods will also be treated according to the theory of belonging to the enemy..." Yang Reform is determined to establish a customs. , This siege of Donglu means an all-round siege.Especially the most important thing in the next two years-food, this is not only to trap wild boar skins, but also to trap all Mongolian tribes, including Lin Danhan.Although Yang Reform has united with Lin Danhan, it does not mean that Yang Reform is not wary of Lin Danhan. This guy, a [-]-year-old guy with no brains, once he is too powerful, he will turn his face like a book.

Everyone was silent and obeyed the emperor's orders. Naturally, Man Gui and Zhao Lijiao had nothing to say. Now they are the emperor's "pro-army" anyway, so they probably won't worry about food and salary. Things, it doesn't matter much.Yuan Chonghuan pursed his lips, but did not speak.

"My department, I have tentatively decided that the sea is called customs, and the inland is called land customs. My sea and land customs yamen are responsible for verifying imports and exports, entry and exit matters, and verifying which goods can leave the customs and which goods cannot be sold outside the customs. Go, and we will set up some anti-smuggling teams to be responsible for cracking down on smugglers. You are responsible for assisting those who dare to resist and do not follow the rules. According to what I said, they will be killed on the spot and the goods will be confiscated..." Yang Reform said tirelessly .

"...The purpose of my doing this is one thing. I want to completely starve Donglu to death, starve and thin, and starve to the ground. Every time Donglu gets thinner, in the future, you will grow a little bigger when you have a decisive battle with Donglu. It’s for your own good, and I don’t want your corpses to become part of the Donglu army’s merit list, do you understand?”

"I understand." Everyone replied unanimously, and they were deeply moved by the emperor's heart.

"It's good for you to understand. In the future, this yamen will still rely on you. I hope you will cooperate a lot to control the Donglu..."

"I will obey your orders." Everyone replied together again.

"Very well, this yamen is not only your two places, Dongjiang Town where Mao Wenlong is, I will also send Hailuguan to organize a sea anti-smuggling team at sea, strictly investigate smuggling, and make sure to trap Donglu to death in the deep mountains and old forests... "

Liu Yanyuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, my court and the Mongolian right wing have always had a tradition of setting up a horse market. It seems that there is a conflict between the sea and land customs and the horse market. This... I am afraid that there will be trouble at that time. The Mongolian tribe is making trouble." Liu Yanyuan decided to ask clearly, this sea and land customs seems to be another form of the horse market, and it is much stricter than the horse market. This horse market is also owned by the Ming Dynasty and the Mongolian tribes outside the border wall. In the trading center, the emperor's sea and land customs seem to have a big conflict with the horse market. If something happens because of the conflict in the horse market, it will be bad. Thinking back, the change of the civil fort was caused by the horse market. city ​​conflict.

Yang Reform said with a smile: "If this matter had happened before, I would have thought twice and weighed it. Now that the Mongolian right wing has been almost killed by Lin Dan Khan, how many Mongolians are left outside the side wall? Could it be that you are still afraid that they will cause trouble?" ? This is the time to establish stricter sea and land customs. If the Mongols have any opinions, they either submit to our dynasty and serve as our dynasty’s imperial alliance army, or wait to be swept away by our dynasty. There are only two ways, and now Mongolia The right wing is no longer the right wing of Mongolia. Speaking of it, I have to thank Lin Danhan, this fool, although he has caused me a lot of trouble, but it is not without some benefits. Now, I want to strictly control people who enter Mongolia. Mongols just don’t have the power to make troubles for materials and goods. If I let Mongols live, they will live. If they want Mongols to die, they will die. He, I want the Mongolian tribes on this grassland to gradually integrate into our dynasty, and I want my Great Wall to be built on the flesh and blood of the Mongolians... Hehehe, I will be divided into several ranks for the Imperial Alliance Army that has taken refuge in me. Those who are willing to work for our dynasty, and those who are willing to work hard for our dynasty, in addition to giving military pay and food, I will also give them different trade levels, different trade levels, different levels of goods can be bought and sold, and goods of different quantities can be bought and sold ,... Hehe, I want to use the invisible hand of the economy to control the entire Mongolia, let the Mongols work for me and the Ming Dynasty, let the Mongols fight the Mongols now, and let the Mongols fight the Eastern Captives in the future , In the future, beating the Japanese, or even the barbarians, can make the Mongols bleed, I said this, do you understand?"

Speaking of which, Yang Reform is still very happy. Speaking of the establishment of the Customs, I really thank Lin Danhan. This weak man has killed most of the Mongolian right wing. As a result, the entire Mongolian right wing now has no strength to fight against him. It is possible to establish customs, strengthen the management of materials entering and leaving Mongolia, and use the hand of the economy to control the Mongolian tribes. If it was before, you really have to think twice. If the management is too strict, it is impossible for the Mongolian right-wing tribes to unite with themselves. If you make trouble, I still have some concerns, but now, most of the Mongols have been killed by Lin Danhan, a fool, and the rest, if they want to make trouble with themselves, there is no way.Whoever doesn't listen to his own words, doesn't sell him anything, and doesn't let him sell things to the Ming Dynasty. In this way, his tribe's strength will definitely decline rapidly, and he will be besieged by the Mongol Imperial Army. Divide the Imperial Association Army into several grades, and stipulate the types and quantities of goods they can sell and buy according to their ranks. In this way, the Mongols can no longer do anything except hold their own thighs. Cannibalism" and the like are imported into Mongolia, and this Mongolia is considered to be completely abolished.

At the beginning, Liu Yanyuan was worried that the Mongolian tribes would make troubles because of the horse market issue, and they would make something that could not be dealt with. Now after hearing what the emperor said, he felt that the emperor was right. Today, the Mongolian right wing probably has [-]-[-]% left People, this kind of people, if they want to pose any threat to the Ming Dynasty, it is really a daydream, not to mention the drought in the next few years, these Mongolian tribes, I am afraid that they really have no way to go except to join the Ming Dynasty , Even dripping with cold sweat, the emperor's mind is really careful, one after another, if this plan is strictly implemented, seriously, and it works, it can directly nail Mongolia to the ground, and there is no possibility of turning over.

Everyone was startled by the emperor's plan and kept silent. Yuan Chonghuan came out and said, "Your Majesty, what about Lin Danhan? How should we deal with it? What if he wants to open a horse market with me and make a deal? How should we deal with it?" What if he can't stand our strict border trade management and something happens, how should he deal with it?" Yuan Chonghuan will have direct contact with Lin Danhan in the future, and this can be regarded as an early response.

"Lin Danhan? Well, don't worry, just say that I also welcome him to come to our court for trade, but he must abide by our court's laws and regulations, pay taxes for those who should pay taxes,... In order to show my sincerity and generosity, I will give Lin Danhan Open an opening, an extra quota, allowing him to buy a certain amount of special items, beyond this quota, he is not allowed to buy,... Hehehe, I believe he will not have any objections, who said that in the future, only my food What about one family? If he is unwilling, then the assistance, food, trade, alliance, and even rewards will be gone. Now he has offended the Mongolian right wing and fought to the death with Donglu. The grassland is full of his enemies , If there is no help from my Ming Dynasty, and I am still an enemy of my Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that it will fall apart in a few years. Although Lin Danhan is a bit stupid, it does not mean that he does not know what he can do and what he cannot do..."

Although Yang Reform said that he was not afraid of Lin Danhan causing trouble, he was still gambling in his heart that Lin Danhan would not dare to offend himself after offending the Mongolian right-wingers and Eastern captives. If he turned against him because of the horse market, then he would But it is really stupid to the extreme, the world is so big, there are enemies everywhere, there is no other way but to retreat from this stage.After thinking for a while, he said again: "Of course, it is not ruled out that Lin Danhan's sudden betrayal is not ruled out. Therefore, you need to be hardworking yourself, and you must work hard to train your soldiers so that you can calmly deal with Lin Danhan's betrayal. Rebellion, how do you deal with it, how to guard against it, you must have a plan, once the incident happens, deal with it immediately according to the plan..." Yang Reform continued to explain.

"The minister obeys the order, and the minister understands." Yuan Chonghuan agreed.However, Yuan Chonghuan said again: "His Majesty, I heard that many places outside the border wall and the customs are relying on selling goods with Mongolia and Eastern captives for profit, and even raising troops..."

"... As I said, I need your cooperation. In addition to setting up the sea and land customs anti-smuggling team, I also need you to send elites to patrol the border. Firstly, it is to guard against the enemy, and secondly, to assist in the arrest of smugglers. Yes, no matter who they are, those who resist will be killed on the spot, and those who involve local generals and soldiers will be strictly investigated and dealt with by the enemy, and a part of the confiscated goods can be given to you to assist in the inspection." Yang Reform knew what Yuan Chonghuan was talking about. Many of the generals and soldiers at the border were sneakily exchanging things from the eastern captives and Mongolia, such as iron pots for horses!Trade food for ginseng or something.These are indeed difficult to prevent, Yang Reform sighed in his heart, he could only try his best to prevent the big aspects, small things, this is really a bit difficult.

"I obey." Yuan Chonghuan agreed.

Yang Reform sighed in his heart, establishing strict customs is difficult!It seems that a large number of anti-smuggling fleets must be established at sea as soon as possible. First of all, we should try our best to control the Bohai Bay, especially the possibility of large-scale smuggling along the coast of Liaodong, and establish a strict customs inspection system in these places. Just kidding, I can only say that I did my best.

Regarding the customs matter, Yang Reform's mood is mixed. He is happy that Mongolia is easy to control, and he is more worried that Liaodong is a difficult problem.

"... Sigh... Forget it, I will talk about this matter in the future. For now, let's just leave it at this. Let me tell you one more thing. Listen to me. It has something to do with you, and it doesn't have much to do with you..." Yang Reform decided Skip this question, this can be adjusted slowly in the future, let's talk about the overall strategy outside the customs first.

Everyone fell silent again, listening to what the emperor had to say.

Yang Reform looked at Sun Chengzong, and said: "This matter is related to North Korea. I have decided to open up a new battlefield in North Korea in order to hold back the eastern captives from advancing westward. Let Master Sun talk about this matter. Master Sun He is the planner of this strategy." Yang Reform dropped a blockbuster, preparing to open up the Korean battlefield.

To be honest, everyone was already surprised a lot today, but when they heard this, they were even more surprised from ear to ear. The second aid to North Korea?You know, the last time he assisted the dynasty, it cost millions of taels of silver. Now the emperor is aiding the dynasty for the second time, how much silver will it cost?Coupled with the Mongolian right wing and many military operations outside the pass, the emperor's expenses can only be said to be astonishing!Everyone is beating drums in their hearts, this emperor is a bit too ambitious.

Liu Yanyuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, became anxious. The emperor looked smart, but now he was messing around. How expensive it was to aid the dynasty!Now that the court is doing all it can to relieve the disaster, how can there be money to aid the court?If the emperor paid for the first few military operations, that would make sense. After all, the money needed is limited, and many things were decided before, but now this aid to the dynasty... Liu Yanyuan became anxious.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Liu Yanyuan was very impatient and interrupted in disregard of the rules.

Yang Reform took a look and said, "Oh, Liu Aiqing, what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, we must not open up the Korean battlefield! At this time, our dynasty is doing its best to relieve the disaster, where is there any money left to help the dynasty? Your Majesty, this expenditure can be described as huge. When I went to the gods, I spent a lot Several million taels of silver! Your Majesty, with these silvers, it is better to go to disaster relief..., but more disaster victims can be rescued..." Liu Yanyuan was frightened by the emperor's ambition. According to the emperor's method, the Golden Temple must be demolished, otherwise Where is there silver to aid North Korea for the second time?
Yang Reform looked at it, and said with a smile: "Hehe, Liu Aiqing, don't worry about this matter first, listen to what Master Sun has to say, and then you can express your opinion, how about it?" However, I can use guerrilla warfare, drag wild boar skins to North Korea with grenades, and pour the blood of wild boar skins. At least, the battlefield is in North Korea, not in the Ming Dynasty. How many North Korean people die has nothing to do with me.
