The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

At this time, although emperor Chongzhen's words were very respectful and his posture was very low, which seemed to have given Li Yuanqing enough face, Li Yuanqing clearly noticed that in the depth of emperor Chongzhen's eyes There was an irrepressible frivolity.

If you think in other places.

There are many seemingly difficult things, think about it, in fact ~ ~, it is not so difficult to understand.

Emperor Chongzhen was originally the blood of the dragon. He was the richest and noblest second generation and dragon breed in the world. Although he was not trained according to the etiquette system of the crown prince, he was not prevented. His life was a little too good.

Inexplicably, a big pie suddenly hit his head.

In particular, within a few days of his accession to the throne, he used powerful means to kill the old dog Wei Zhongxian. At the age of 17-8, he had already taken over the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Although he lost his father when he was young, his love and care by the tolerant and benevolent emperor was more direct and effective than that of Guangzong.

Growing up in this environment, a beautiful little flower, can you expect him to meet the storm, the mountains and the tsunami?

If you don't have hair on your mouth, you can't handle things well.

Although this is a bit of a generalization, but it is used in the present

After pondering for a moment, Li Yuanqing respectfully bowed his hand and said, "the emperor, in the opinion of his ministers, for three years, the situation in the Liao area should be mainly stable, and the primary task is to protect the spring ploughing. In recent years, there has been some drought, so it is necessary to intensify efforts to maintain the smooth progress of spring ploughing. When the weather warms up, all affairs are on track and enter a stable state. I, Daming, can push forward step by step according to the existing conditions and recover some lost land occupied by Tartars. We should try to harass as many lines as possible, but we should try our best to avoid frontal combat, preserve our active strength, and not easily conflict with the main force of the later Jin army. "

Li Yuanqing's speech speed is very slow, but also full of simple and crude clarity. Emperor Chongzhen nodded slowly but forcefully and motioned Li Yuanqing to continue.

Li Yuanqing's mentality at this time is very gentle, with his experience, true or false to coax a child, that is not easy to catch?

For a moment, he said: "emperor, in the first year of the former Emperor, Liao Shen and Guangning were lost. Our Dongjiang, southern Liaoning, and Western Liaoning provinces have become armies one after another. In a flash, it has been more than eight years. After years of hard work in construction and management, the three lines of Liaoxi, southern Liaoning and Dongjiang, including Denglai and Tianjin, have been connected. Although the time for a decisive battle with Houjin is not mature, in the overall strategic situation, I Daming has gradually moved back to some initiative. "

Emperor Chongzhen nodded deeply.

Li Yuanqing's words, well founded, let him listen to very comfortable. Since his accession to the throne, the situation of Daming against Houjin has obviously improved.

Isn't all his achievements and achievements?

Li Yuanqing had noticed emperor Chongzhen's slightly upturned mouth. Obviously, his words had scratched the itch of emperor Chongzhen just now.

A moment later, after giving emperor Chongzhen some time to digest, Li Yuanqing said: "the emperor, especially at the beginning of this year, during the defensive war of the capital, the main force of the later Jin Dynasty entered the pass. On the western line, Mao Wenlong and Mao Shuai led the elite of Dongjiang army to the city of Liaoyang at the speed of light car. Although they failed to conquer Liaoyang City in the end, in recent years, it was the first time for me to attack the core hinterland of Houjin. It's a rare bonus to the military heart of our Liao area and Ming Dynasty! Also let the children in the army understand that these Tartars are human beings, not invincible! "

Li Yuanqing finished and carefully observed emperor Chongzhen's face.

In fact, as soon as Li Yuanqing mentioned Mao Wenlong, Emperor Chongzhen's small face was wrinkled. However, Li Yuanqing deliberately did not stop and went on to talk in accordance with his ideas.

As expected, Emperor Chongzhen's face was still a little tense, but it was not the kind of tension that could not be relaxed, rigid and could not be loosened.

Li Yuanqing suddenly remembered that yuan Manzi was playing Fu on the platform at that time, was it Is it the same mentality as Li Yuanqing

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen took a long breath of sullen anger. He shook his head with some pity and some chagrin, and said in a low voice: "General Li, I am very sorry about Mao Wenlong and Mao Shuai. However, for the sake of the overall situation... "

For a moment, he seemed to suddenly realize his mistake. He shook his head with a smile, looked into Li Yuanqing's eyes, and said with a smile: "General Li, in the three years, can you have a specific plan to enter the army?"

With a smile, Li Yuanqing did not continue to tangle with Mao Wenlong, but said with a smile: "emperor, in recent years, although the headquarters of our Changsheng camp has gradually stabilized, it has already had a certain amount of spare power to enter the army. However, as the minister said before, the emperor, this year's natural success is not very good, the prime minister's task is to ensure spring ploughing, protect this year's long-term camp, the headquarters can have surplus grain. "

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help nodding with a smile, "Li junmen is mature and prudent, which is the pillar of the country."

Hearing that the laughing fart boy actually flattered himself, Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, but he knew that it was not enough just at this time.In order to win the trust of emperor Chongzhen, to occupy more initiative, and to obtain more demand value, he had to learn from governor yuan, prescribe fierce medicine, draw big cakes, scratch emperor Chongzhen's itch, smooth his temperament and satisfy his vanity.

"The emperor praised it. I'm afraid. "

Li Yuanqing, smiling, arched his hand and said, "the emperor, in terms of military affairs, I also have some new considerations about three years."

"Oh?"

At that time, Emperor Chongzhen was very happy: "what good ideas does general Li have? Come on and let me hear it. "

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "the emperor praised it. There is no good idea. There are only some simple thoughts, and the emperor is needed to help the minister solve his doubts. "

Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "General Li, you are the general of all battles. I don't dare to deal with your tactics. However, I think it is OK to give advice. "

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "the emperor's words make me feel at ease. That's it, Emperor. By the way, emperor, do you have a map of Liao

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen had already been completely restrained by Li Yuanqing. He was busy with the little eunuch and said, "go and get the map of Liao."

"Eh? Yes, yes

How dare a little eunuch neglect him? Go to the imperial court and look for it.

A moment later, he took the map and placed it in front of Li Yuanqing and Emperor Chongzhen.

Obviously, Emperor Chongzhen has been paying close attention to the war in Liao Dynasty, and this map is on his desk.

Li Yuanqing carefully spread out the map, got up from the small round pier, squatted down, smoothed the map, and said with a smile: "emperor, the year before last, last year, because of the favorable weather and location, his humble position had to take defensive and contraction defense, and once withdrew from the Gaizhou war zone. But this year, before the autumn harvest, humble officials want to win Gaizhou again. After the autumn harvest, we should strive to advance to the front line of Haizhou. "

"Emperor, at this time, although it was very difficult for us to fight against the army of the Late Jin Dynasty in Changsheng camp and other southern Liaoning provinces, we were sure that we could have a good place to defend the city. However, as you can see from the emperor, it is not easy to win Haizhou. I also need the support of the emperor and the brothers from Liaoxi and Dongjiang

Speaking with maps makes it clearer and more intuitive.

It was Emperor Chongzhen who was a "half baked" in military affairs, but he could see clearly Li Yuanqing's strategic intention at a glance.

At this time, looking at Haizhou under Li Yuanqing's finger, Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed: "General Li, if the Changsheng camp can take Haizhou, isn't this the bridgehead of the war on the back of the later Jin Dynasty? If this is the case, will the pressure on both sides of Liaoxi and Dongjiang be greatly reduced? "

At last, Emperor Chongzhen's voice trembled with excitement.

At this time, Liao's salary had reached tens of millions of taels a year, which almost brought down the whole Ming Dynasty's economy. However, on the side of governor yuan in the west of Liaoning Province, it was only thunder and no rain. The bull force of "five years' peace of Liao" was really good. However, Emperor Chongzhen witnessed the "weakness" of the guanning army in the early years of the year.

As the son of heaven, Emperor Chongzhen really had many complicated considerations to support governor yuan, but this does not mean that he would be stupid enough to support all of governor yuan unconditionally.

However, in the absence of substitutes, he could only be like a "cooked duck with a stiff mouth". He insisted on his stubbornness and tried to keep his "correctness".

But at this time, the idea put forward by Li Yuanqing was just like opening a big window on the top of Chongzhen emperor's brain, which broadened his whole vision and thinking several times.

After all, Emperor Chongzhen had seen how much damage and damage the Tartars had caused when they came to the capital.

At this time, once Li Yuanqing pushed the front line of the Ming army directly to Haizhou, it was equivalent to using a sharp knife to put it on the waist of the Jin army.

At that time, Liaoxi, which had spent a lot of money and material resources, was pushed to the back. Naturally, there was no need to consume so much silver.

What's more, Li Yuanqing, who is powerful and powerful in the world, is more reliable than yuan Manzi who has not been on the battlefield for a few days

But when he thought of silver, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly got smart and said, "General Li, if our Ming army conquers Haizhou and sets up defense in Haizhou, how much silver will it take?"

Looking at emperor Chongzhen's small appearance like a miser, Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, but he pretended to concentrate on thinking for a while, and then he said: "emperor, this matter is not very good at the moment. However, if Haizhou is to be pushed to the front line, the manpower and material resources needed are by no means a fraction. I'm afraid ~, it has to be two million taels a year. "

"Two million and two?"

Emperor Chongzhen was obviously relieved, but he was still a little worried. He looked into Li Yuanqing's eyes and said, "General Li, are you sure you only need two million taels?"Li Yuanqing quickly bowed his hand and said, "emperor, this matter is only the preliminary estimation of the minister. If the situation is smooth, maybe it only needs 150 Liang a year."

"1.5 million taels?"

Emperor Chongzhen felt that he was about to be knocked unconscious by Li Yuanqing's pie.

If only one hundred and fifty taels can be used to deal with Liao affairs and push the main battlefield of Liao affairs down to the hinterland of the later Jin Dynasty, he will wake up laughing even though he is dreaming.

However, after experiencing the defensive war in the capital at the beginning of this year, Emperor Chongzhen was not a pure "white striped chicken" to a large extent.

Of course, he understood that it was easy to say, but I'm afraid it would never be so easy to do it.

Busy way: "General Li, this matter ~ ~, how sure are you about this matter. How long will it take to achieve this

Li Yuanqing said with a faint smile: "emperor, this matter ~ ~, according to the minister's prediction, if the spring ploughing next year is smooth and the summer offensive can ensure a stable autumn harvest, the time for the decisive battle at the end of next autumn will be mature. If things go further smoothly, this time next year at the latest, humble position can guarantee to win Haizhou. It's just that... "

Li Yuanqing suddenly looked at emperor Chongzhen with a feigned hesitation.
