Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu was startled, there were too many things, he almost forgot about this person, he couldn't help touching his chin, and said: "I almost forgot about him, what official position is he now?"

Cao Huachun would stare at the people Zhu Xu paid attention to, and he knew it well, "A chief editor of Chaobao, from the sixth rank."

Chaobao is one of the agencies directly under the cabinet, and the officials in it are generally not of high rank. Naturally, a small editor-in-chief will not have a big official. From the sixth rank, it is also special care under Zhu Xu's attention.

Gu Yanwu is still young and needs to be cultivated slowly, Zhu Xu is not in a hurry, and asked with interest: "What did he say?"

Cao Huachun recalled, and said: "I am impressed by the fact that he wrote an article about business tax, which made a great Confucian angrily hit the door. I was so angry that I couldn’t get up for three months, and I almost didn’t make it through. Gu Yanwu’s general meaning is to gradually open up business and encourage development in an orderly manner. Replenish……"

Zhu Xu frowned slightly. Gu Yanwu was still young after all, not as mature as he thought, seeing problems thoroughly, looking ahead, and now he seemed a little immature. He actually regarded business as a supplement to agriculture. It is seen that the commodity economy is the future development trend.

"It's just a budding beginning..."

Zhu Xu roughly understood Gu Yanwu's thoughts, pinched his chin and murmured, and said, "Write it down, when the fleet from the sea comes back, the economics department will be taught in the Political Academy, and Gu Yanwu will be transferred to be an associate professor."

The fleet going to Europe is actually a round-the-world voyage. The "scientists" and "scholars" who went with them must bring back different things. Enlightenment, prompting certain things to happen in advance.

"Yes." Cao Huachun responded.

Zhu Xu didn't say any more, and continued to immerse himself in reviewing his memorial.He doesn't remember how many "little things" like this have been arranged. These people and things may not have much in the future, but they may bring him a huge surprise one day!

All in all, these are all "foreshadowings" that he made conveniently, and he waited quietly with a peaceful mind.

Up and down the Ming Dynasty, it was in full swing. The high-level officials were united and passionate like never before, and they fell into a kind of frenzied busyness. Almost no one in the yamen was idle. The powerful "New Deal" storm swept all the military and government agencies of the Ming Dynasty, and various policies were overwhelmed. The mountainous pressure drives waves of reforms, bringing new changes constantly. Every day, even every moment, different changes and stories are staged.

Outside the Great Wall, Guihua City.

Lin Dan sweats his teeth.

Lin Danhan sat facing south, looking at the national teacher Nikru and thousands of households, with a strange expression on his face.

Lin Danhan was full of weirdness, and his expression didn't know what to do. He looked at a group of people and said, "Is what Andashan said true?"

Nick Lu sat there with a motionless expression, rather unfathomable. Lin Danhan's voice fell, and everyone was habitually looking at him.

Niklu looked at everyone calmly, and said in a slow tone: "A message from Anda Shan Taiji, the Ming Dynasty is in internal strife, and has no time to take care of my Mongolia. The plan to attack my Chahar may be delayed again, or even cancelled. I After a detailed analysis, if the Ming Dynasty is really postponed this time, then they may really retreat without a fight, and they will not come back in a short time."

"Tell me in detail." Lin Danhan looked at Nikru with an excited and eager tone.Chahar's strength was really too weak, he had been crippled by Houjin a long time ago, and he couldn't recover much in just two or three years. Facing Ming's army of more than [-], Lin Danhan was not sure of winning from beginning to end.That being the case, he naturally hoped that the Ming Dynasty would retreat without a fight, so that he would have time to recuperate and keep a low profile.

Qianqianhu's expression remained unchanged, all of them were also looking at Nikolu.

Nick Lu said: "First, the Ming people said, 'If you work hard at once, then you will decline, and then you will be exhausted'. The Ming Dynasty kept delaying the start of war, and the three armies would inevitably lose their morale. The army consumes immeasurable food and grass every day, and it is bound to be difficult to sustain if it is delayed for a long time. Third, there are constant internal disputes in the Ming Dynasty. Find an excuse and back away quietly..."

Lin Danhan nodded straightly, and said: "Then, should we chase all the way, force the Ming Dynasty to negotiate a peace, and give the old coins again, or exchange market?"

Nick Lu groaned, and said: "Khan, whether it is Shenyang or the civil fort, it is not an easy place to attack. I suggest that we should wait and see what happens, strike later, seize the critical moment when they withdraw their troops, and make a surprise attack!"

Lin Danhan immediately understood, and said with burning eyes: "Okay, I'll listen to you! You listen carefully, let Ben Khan keep an eye on the three-way army of the Ming Dynasty. Ben Khan wants to feast on it, and kill those Nanmans well." son!"

Chapter 1026 The First Meeting

Seeing that Lin Dan Khan was flustered all the time, and his sluggish momentum swelled up, Nicklu gradually relaxed in his heart.

The Ming Dynasty had the most civil strife, and nothing was bigger than their struggle for power and profit, and intrigues.

Suddenly, Nicklu looked up at Lin Danhan and said, "Khan, has anyone from the Ming Dynasty been here recently?"

Lin Danhan was very happy, he was taken aback for a moment, and said, "No, what's the matter?"

With a confident smile on his face, Nick Lu said: "Ming people have always been at odds. If they fight with us here, some people may object and want to negotiate peace with us. This kind of thing has not happened once or twice."

The joy on Lin Danhan's face increased wildly, and he said, "You mean, the Ming people will initiate a peace proposal?"

Nick Lu only needed a feather fan in his hand, otherwise Zhuge Liang would be alive, he said with a smile: "Looking at the current situation, the morale of another group of people in the Ming court must have been greatly boosted. People will arrive soon, sweat, let’s wait patiently.”

Lin Danhan has always trusted Niklu, so he didn't think about it, stood up, turned his head to look to the south, suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and said solemnly: "Okay! As long as the envoy of the Ming Dynasty comes, treat him with good food and drink, and then , wait for Ben Khan to win a big game, and then have a good talk with the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

As soon as Lin Danhan's words fell, a guard rushed in and reported loudly: "I report to you, the spies have come to report that the Ming army in Tumu Fort has retreated to the Great Wall. The Great Wall is full of artillery. They are about to withdraw their troops."

Nicklu immediately raised his eyelids, looked at Lin Danhan and said: "It seems that the internal strife among the Ming people is more intense than we expected. It doesn't have to wait until April 25, and it will take a few days before the slave cavalry in Shenyang will also withdraw. Entering Shenyang City, Horqin's coalition forces will disband, sweat profusely, the opportunity is in these few days!"

Lin Danhan's chest rose and fell, his eyes were blazing with hatred, and he said, "Okay, this time is to teach the Ming people a lesson. It won't be long before this Khan can break through the Great Wall, recover Dayuan, and repeat the great achievements of Genghis Khan!"

Niklu looked at Lin Dan Khan's wild expression, fearing that he would be impulsive, he quickly said: "Khan, the soldiers are too tense these days and don't have much rest. What we need to do now is to let the soldiers relax and take a good rest for a few days. When the peace negotiators from the Ming army arrive, let’s play tricks first, take advantage of the unpreparedness, and have another big victory in the civil fortress! Maybe, we can encircle their imperial city again!”

Lin Danhan was not a fool, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said: "Just listen to the national teacher, order all the thousands of households to dismount their horses and armor, rest for three days, eat enough wine and meat, tell them, after ten days, we will have everything we want! "

"Yes!" A guard excitedly turned and went out to deliver the order.

Not long after, the entire Guihua City suddenly became noisy, and strange shouts resounded throughout the city, and they were transmitted in all directions at the same time, roaring like thunder.

When Chahar cheered thunderously, like a big victory, the Ming Dynasty was also in full swing.

In Wucheng Pavilion, the meeting hall.

The basic framework of the Grand Marshal's Mansion has been organized, and the rest is to be filled and perfected step by step.

Marshal Sun Chengzong sat at the top, and on both sides were three major generals of the Ming Dynasty, Cao Wenzhao, Qin Liangyu, Lu Xiangsheng, Shangshu Shen Yongmao of the Ministry of War, British Duke Zhang Weixian, and several heads of the Intelligence Department, the Operations Department, and the Staff Office. There are a dozen of them in total.

The members of the Second Bureau of the Ninth Office are basically newcomers. They used to be school lieutenants and generals from various places, and then "advanced studies" in the military academy, and made a lot of military achievements in various places. They are both civil and military. The Ministry of War took a fancy to him and promoted him.

Sun Chengzong glanced at a group of people, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.In the past, the Ming army was not only controlled by the Ministry of War, but also controlled by the cabinet, the six ministries and the entire imperial court. They were constrained in all aspects, and all kinds of open and secret battles made the army a mess, and its combat power declined sharply.It can be said that in the more than 200 years of Ming Dynasty's wars, especially the wars in recent decades, most of the failures were related to court party struggles.

With the Grand Marshal's Mansion and the strong support of the Qianqing Palace, the influence of the government and the opposition on the army will be greatly reduced!

Sun Chengzong took a deep breath, looked at everyone, and said: "The Grand Marshal's Mansion was first built, and there are many complicated things, but there is one important task that cannot be delayed at all, and that is Chahar. Recently, Chahar has been disobedient. 'It's at a critical time again, so Chahar is a fishbone stuck in my throat and must be pulled out as soon as possible!"

Extermination of Chahar is now the consensus of the Ming Dynasty. Everyone listened and had no opinion. They looked at Sun Chengzong and waited for his arrangement.

Sun Chengzong looked around and said directly: "Information Department."

The chief officer of the Intelligence Department is He Xilian, a Confucian general from Liaodong. He wore a new-style military uniform, which was concise and capable. All the intelligence agencies and manpower of Jinyiwei in Liaodong, according to the information collected from various places, Chahar's military strength is about [-], and they are currently concentrated in Guihua City, with [-] horses and a population of about [-]. Three Tens of thousands of cavalry were assigned to nine commanders of one thousand households. For the past month, no one has taken off their armor and their horses have not unsaddled their saddles. All the big baskets on the Great Wall from Shanhaiguan to Gansu Town in the westernmost section have been lifted into the air to monitor every move in the north. , if there is a message to be transmitted, it can be passed through the semaphore of the big basket, and it can basically spread to both ends of the east and west in half an hour..."

Everyone nodded silently. The large basket combined with the telescope is indeed an extraordinary weapon.

Of course, this is also useful on the Great Wall, and other places are basically better than nothing.

After Sun Chengzong listened to the report from the intelligence office, he looked at the staff office again.

The head of the staff office was born in the south of the Yangtze River. He was from Hangzhou. His name was Qian Jinxiao. He made great contributions in dealing with the Hangzhou mutiny back then.

Qian Jinxiao stood up and said: "Marshal, my lords, based on the deduction of the staff office, I have made a feasible battle plan. Using Dorgon's cavalry as the main force to raid Guihua City overnight, it would be the best if it succeeds in the first battle. Can't win in one battle, encircle three gaps and one to encircle, the Chijin Guards will respond on the outer periphery, waiting for the armored cavalry and cannons to arrive. "

There is no map or sand table here, and this is the first time the staff office has made such a report. Even though Qian Jinxiao is calm, he still feels dry.

Sun Chengzong listened and nodded, his eyes turned to the combat department.

The head of the combat department is Yao Zhengtao, who was originally a professor in the military academy. He has never experienced any battles before, but his tactical deduction, military arrangements, and arrangements have repeatedly made Sun Chengzong, Shen Yongmao, Cao Wenzhao, and even Qin Liangyu and others were amazed that his destination was originally arranged to be the staff office, but in the end he was transferred to the combat office.
