Chapter 684 Countermeasures
The emperor is really, he is discussing the important matter of fighting against the captives, but he himself is fine, and he doesn't know what he is thinking, so he deserted.

This is the common aspiration of the courtiers in the Wenhua Palace. As for those who are far away, they naturally don't know. Wang Chengen and Liu Xingzuo who conveyed the voice would not tell them that the emperor is in a daze.Those few of them were a little strange at best, why no information came over.

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at the faces of his courtiers, and guessed a little bit of their thoughts.It is estimated that I have been meditating for too long!Hehe, who said that I am the emperor, what's wrong with being in a daze, not to mention that I'm not in a daze!

Thinking about it casually, he suddenly smiled and said, "I have decided, no matter what plots and tricks Jianlu has, our Daming only needs to follow the way that is most beneficial to Daming and least beneficial to Jianlu!"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help being stunned. They didn't expect the emperor to say such a thing after being in a daze, which meant that he had been thinking about this matter.In that case, the emperor was wrongly blamed!

Wen Tiren thought about this, and asked first: "Your Majesty, what is the most unfavorable way to build a prisoner and the most beneficial way to Ming Dynasty?"

The other courtiers also paid attention, wondering what good idea did the emperor come up with?

So, Emperor Chongzhen said his thoughts again, and then emphasized: "My dear friends, don't forget that what Jianlu lacks most at present is food. Bi Qing should know how much food and grass will be consumed when the army moves... "

Bi Ziyan nodded, thinking in his heart, Jianlu will consume food, but I, Daming, will also consume food!But fortunately, a lot of food was snatched from Jianlu this time. It can be regarded as using Jianlu's food to consume Jianlu's food, which is okay!
"...Therefore, no matter what is going on in Jinzhou, we must fight the battle of Gaizhou. The new army is a strong army of our Ming Dynasty, so we must use it here. And after Jianlu is restored to Gaizhou by our Ming Dynasty, it is inevitable that we will fight. I have to fight back, otherwise when I, Daming, gain a firm foothold, the consequences will not be acceptable to Jianlu!" Emperor Chongzhen said firmly, "As for Jinzhou, since it is delivered to the mouth, then eat it Alright. I don’t believe it anymore, but how can Jianlu’s little family property support it to fight on two fronts!”

After he finished speaking, Cao Huachun immediately played: "Lu Zhongcheng thinks that your majesty's strategy is very clever, and it is closely linked with the previous strategy. He can guarantee that Jianlu's attack on Gaizhou is already unbearable, let alone Said to send troops to attack Jinzhou again!"

Lu Xiangsheng was the executor of the previous series of wars against the captives, so he knew how hard those wars would be to the Jian captives.It was also for this reason that he was the first to express his approval.

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng finished speaking, Cao Bianjiao also immediately expressed his intentions, expressing his firm support for the emperor's decision, so why not just defend Gaizhou, no problem!
After hearing this, the officials in the hall immediately imagined that according to what the emperor said, maybe next year, not only Jinzhou would be recovered, but they became excited when they thought about it.For them, the recovery of Liaodong seems to be more hopeful than imagined, and it will be realized sooner!

Ning Yuan, Sun Chengzong and others were listening to Liu Wang's recitation of the content of the imperial meeting, and Cao Wenzhao couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.He remembered that before, he didn't want Cao Bianjiao to give up his official position in the Guanning Army, leave his protection, and participate in the selection of some new army.It was Cao Bianjiao who had to go, insisted on his own opinion, and finally forced himself to agree.

From the looks of it now, it's still my nephew who has vision!Although he was already the commander-in-chief of one side, he didn't dare to say anything in this imperial meeting.But my nephew kept talking, so in comparison, the Cao family is better than blue!
During the time he was distracted, several consensuses had been reached at the imperial meeting.

[-]. According to the original plan, the Gaizhou campaign was initiated and defended by the new army as usual.

Second, the Jinzhou side is stationed by the Dongjiang Army.This winter, the Dongjiang Army no longer stays on the island for the winter, but puts its main force in Jinzhou.

[-]. If Jianlu encircles Gaizhou but does not attack it, and uses his main force to attack Jinzhou, then the Guanning Army will dispatch to cooperate with the Gaizhou new army to attack from inside and outside, and defeat the enemy who besieged Gaizhou in one fell swoop. The captives must return to rescue, and the siege of Jinzhou will be broken.

Fourth, if Jianlu left Jinzhou alone and just concentrated his main force to attack Gaizhou, if necessary, Lu Xiangsheng could lead the hussar battalion to support Jinzhou.The Guanning army can also be dispatched to support Gaizhou and prevent Jianlu from attacking the city with all his strength.

If this response plan is replaced by the previous one, it may not be easy to implement, and it is very likely that it will become a theory on paper.But now there are sky-level agents who can communicate in real time between the three places, and the three places can cooperate closely with each other. This solution has the possibility of being truly implemented!

The imperial meeting in the Wenhua Palace was the main venue, and finally ended with the plan of making a decision.When the ministers dispersed, everyone was excited.Anyone can see that as long as the purpose of this campaign can be achieved, the strength of Jianlu will be effectively consumed. Next year's war against the captives will be of great benefit to Ming. The recovery of Liaodong is no longer just lip service!
Emperor Chongzhen watched them all withdraw from the palace, but he still had a hole in his hand.Qian Fugui's side can also find out some of the movements on Jianlu's side.If the battle really doesn't go well, they can use means to force Horqin to stab Jianlu in the back.

But this is the last resort, and he doesn't want to do it unless it happens.After all, Hai Lanzhu was mainly close to Daming on Horqin's side, and Buhe's attitude was still a bit vacillating, and he didn't really fall for Daming, and could be used by Daming.

With a plan in place, the new army also arrived in Lushun to rest and reorganize, while the Dongjiang Army, which arrived earlier, all drove to Jinzhou and began to consolidate the city defense.Yebushou dispatched around to erase Jianlu's traces in Jinzhou, and shield Jianlu Tanma from spying on Jinzhou.

From the strength of the Ming army’s night-time refusal, Jianlu can infer some military information. After it was reported to Shenyang, Huang Taiji was naturally secretly proud, thinking that the Ming army had fallen into his calculations, so he sent an order to Xiao Hei Jianlu on the other side of the mountain should not provoke the Ming army.

And the Ming army is preparing for the battle before attacking Gaizhou. This will be a large-scale battle. The preparations must be sufficient, the personnel must be in place, the supplies must be in place, and so on.During this period, there was no doubt that there were many conflicts with Jianlu.

For a while, Liaodong seemed to calm down.It's just that both parties know that this is just the calm before the storm!In this confrontation, Huang Taiji concealed his purpose of dealing with domestic political enemies, while Emperor Chongzhen also concealed his intention to improve the status of generals.

The wheel of history rolls forward!
