"I heard from the captives of the Horqin tribe that Uziyet sent to the capital this time that during the battle of the Suwen River, Oba and Budaqi often argued."

"Budaqi has always had a rift with Kul Chan, the grandson of the slave chief, and this may be of use to our dynasty."

After Cui Chengxiu finished speaking, the British public Zhang Weixian also nodded and said:

"Oba is newly defeated, and the people will definitely be at odds. Your Majesty can call Budaqi to Beijing and make him Khan King of Horqin to win people's hearts."

"Korqin is a major part of the Nenjiang River Basin. At first, he participated in the coalition forces of the nine Yehe anti-Jianzhou forces. The slave chieftains used the strategy of marriage to win over Horqin. After this battle, we can't let it go."

"Oba is loyal to Jiannu. Although Budaqi is not loyal to our dynasty, he has the same enemy. Your Majesty should use both kindness and power to make him use by Daming."

"If Horqin belongs to our dynasty, the four tribes of Inner Kalkha should be separated from it. With the addition of the Duoyan Mongolians and the Taining Mongolians, the life of building slaves will be difficult."

Zhu Youxiao nodded secretly, knowing it in his heart.

Compared with the early days of the apocalypse, this new batch of important ministers did have a lot of their own ideas, not only to support themselves, but also to put forward many useful suggestions.

Although they can't stay out of the party struggle between the DPRK and China, such a cabinet and military computer room are already what Zhu Youxiao needs.

Zhu Youxiao had nothing to say, so he made a decision directly:

"According to what the ministers said, I will issue an edict to let Bu Daqi enter the capital, and I want to meet him personally."

"Your Majesty is wise—!" After hearing this, the ministers hurriedly bowed and blew a wave, and then quietly waited for the emperor's next words.

Zhu Youxiao sat quietly for a while, picked up a cup of Biluochun, took a sip, and asked lightly:

"In this campaign, Uziyet's various tribes took the initiative to attack Horqin on the Suwen River. They were called loyal and brave. Do you have anything to say?"

Everyone looked at each other and discussed a few words with each other. Wei Guangwei, a scholar of Dongge University, stood up and said firmly:

"Your Majesty, they should be rewarded heavily!"

The chief assistant of the cabinet, Han Yu, is mature and prudent, and this time he also expressed his opinion:

"The battle of Suwen River greatly increased our court's prestige. Your Majesty should issue an order to commend him, pass it on to the Nine Sides, and issue an edict to deter Jiannu."

Zhu Youxiao ignored Han Yu, just looked at Wei Guangwei, and asked with interest:

"Oh?"

"Then tell me, what should be the reward method?"

For the first time, the emperor's words contained the sound of "er". Wei Guangwei frowned, realizing that the matter would not be simple, he quickly sorted out his thoughts in his heart, then thought for a while, and said respectfully:

"Returning to Your Majesty, I feel that before the Battle of Fuyuwei, many Mongolian tribes were either subordinate to Lindan Batur, or were forced to surrender to Houjin."

"As for Taining and Duoyan's guards, they are also scumbags. As long as the wind direction changes slightly, they will fall with the wind."

"The battle of Zaisai is a battle for the survival of the tribe. After defeating Horqin, reporting victory to us is to express his heart and surrender."

"I feel that at this time, the imperial court should not be stingy with last time. Not only should they reward Zaisai, but also the tribes that participated in this battle, such as the speculators."

"It can not only win the hearts of the people from all parts of the grassland, but also demonstrate the benevolence of His Majesty."

With that said, Wei Guang paused for a moment, then said:

"I heard that Meng Zhe, the son of Haritu, the lord of the speculators department, died in battle. The court can give Meng Zhe a posthumous gift to win over Haritu."

"If Fuyuwei changes in the future, it's a reserve."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao laughed and asked:

"By doing so, wouldn't it make Lin Dan Batur feel that I was prying his corner?"

Hearing this, Wei Guangwei said with disdain:

"Your Majesty, Zaisai originally belonged to the Chahar tribe in Monan. Lindanbatur didn't even care that his tribe was annexed by Horqin, so where did he come from?"

Zhu Youxiao just said it casually, but in fact he didn't take Lin Danhan seriously at all.

As a direct tribe of the Khans of the Mongolian Empire, the Chahar tribe is not weak at all, and the golden blood is the purest. Coupled with the continuous mergers and growth since Lindan Batur succeeded to the throne, the strength is several times stronger than the Horqin tribe .

Zhu Youxiao formed an alliance with Lindan Batur just to raise the flag of an alliance with Mongolia, but in fact he did not regard him as a real ally at all.

When Wang Huazhen was in Guangning, he believed in Lin Dan Batur's so-called "Lord of the 40 Mongolian Kingdom" very much, thinking that the Chahar Department would definitely send hundreds of thousands of cavalry.

As a result, as soon as the war started, Lin Danbatur just sent a letter to Nurha, and sold Wang Huazhen without even sending out a single person or horse.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile:

"Wei Aiqing, if I remember correctly, you joined the cabinet in the first year of Tianqi, right? After all, you have been in the cabinet for more than two years. You have contributed a lot to me by making suggestions and suggestions."

"Since Gu Bingqian resigned, the seat of the second assistant is still vacant. In my opinion, you can sit here."

Wei Guangwei didn't expect that such a day would happen to him. He thought that the ministers of the cabinet were his apex. He was so excited that he hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground and shouted:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

3 Chapter Fifty

"As for the matter of awarding rewards, I already have a lot of calculations in my mind, so please listen and discuss together."

"The merits reported by the various ministries of Uziyet all come from the Great Victory in the Southwest. The head of the Horqin people will be inspected by the Ministry of Military Affairs."

"Fengfu Yuwei Commander Bo'er Jijin Zaisai is the king of Fuyu, and his descendants will inherit hereditary succession, and will forever guard the land of Fuyuwei."

"Harry Tu, who sealed off the speculator's department, is the commander of Fuyuwei. His descendants all inherit this position and assist King Fuyu in governing Fuyuwei."

"As for the ministries that participated in the war, I also have rewards for animal husbandry."

This reward is indeed a bit too big.

Originally, Zaisai's family was the hereditary commander of Daming Fuyuwei. After this battle, he was promoted to the king of the county outside the Great Wall.

Is it a bit too much for the descendants to inherit heredity?

As soon as the words fell to the ground, there was a lot of discussion in Xinuang Pavilion.

Some people hold conservative opinions, thinking that rewarding some silver and then conferring tribute and trade is almost the same, and it is completely unnecessary to seal the king outside the fortress, that's what Han Yu thinks.

Some people also think that since they want to win people's hearts, the first award must make a big noise, such as Wei Guangwei and Cui Chengxiu, both have this kind of thinking.

In fact, being crowned king or not, to Zhu Youxiao, it was just a title. If it was said that King Fuyu, Zaisai, could be used to win over more Mongolian tribes to submit to Daming.

Then, this royal seal is worth it!

"Since all the ministers have no objections, Wei Zhongxian, let's draw up an order!"

Zhu Youxiao looked at the old eunuch standing beside him, thought for a while and added: "Order the Ministry of Household Affairs to prepare silver taels, and reward Uziyet's ministries with 50 taels of silver to comfort people's hearts."

While speaking, Zhu Youxiao's heart was bleeding.

Zhu Xieyuan asked for an order some time ago, and first rewarded Tainingwei's Yier Deng with 20 taels, and then distributed 30 taels to Duoyan Zhuwei, and this time rewarded Fuyu Zhuwei with 50 taels.

This battle has just started, and I spent 100 million taels...

It's all white money, collected from others, and before it's warmed up, it's about to be sent to the Mongols.

But there is no way, this battle must be won, which is good for the situation in Liaodong as a whole, and this is the time to compete for national strength and heritage.

At this time, the peasant uprising is still a few years away. Although the money hurts, Zhu Youxiao is still willing to spend it.

Hearing this, all the ministers in Xinuange were overjoyed.

They were not overjoyed at the 50 taels of silver, but they were overjoyed that when they returned home this time, countless people would surely come to their door.

These important ministers, all of them are the targets of the factory guards and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, they can't be greedy for money, can't they accept gift money?

Although money cannot be greedy, gift money is received softly. No matter what happens in this world, there are always many people who ask them to do things.

……

The issue of rewards is still one of them. The most important thing is that many people present understand that once the news gets out, the situation in Liaodong will change.

Knowing that he had been tricked, Nurhachi would definitely become furious, and then stormed Liaoshen. After all, Xiong Tingbi's military strength was not as good as Houjin's.

Maybe when the time comes, the courtiers' attacks will come again.

Since the 47th year of Wanli, the trend of impeachment against Xiong Tingbi in the court has not weakened much. If the Emperor Tianqi hadn't suppressed it, a hundred Xiong Tingbi would have died.

Daming really didn't have any soldiers to send out to support Liaoshen, the ministers discussed for a while, and there were still a few ways.

The situation in Liaodong has been deteriorating since the end of Wanli. Xiong Tingbi had been in Liao Dynasty for three years, and only then did he show signs of stability.

Nurhachi even contacted the five departments of Horqin, either to get through Fuyuwei and threaten Ningjin Road, or to take down Liaoshen directly.

To save Xiong Tingbi, he can only rely on Mao Wenlong.

But Dongjiang Town is located on Xuandao, backed by the sea, isolated and helpless, even surrounded by light, it can't resist Jiannu's full attack.

Not to mention Jiannu's tried-and-tested strategy of encircling the dots and fighting for aid, but just encircling the Dongjiang army and annexing the islands one by one is also worrying.

None of the important ministers in Xinuange had ever been in Liaodong. Most of them had only read about the poverty of that place in books, and they didn't understand Mao Wenlong's difficult situation.

Here comes the problem. Zhu Youxiao has never been to Liaodong in person. At this time, before deciding on a war strategy, he needs to find someone who has been to Liaodong to give some advice.

Soon, Zhu Youxiao thought of someone.

That is Wang Tigan, the Zuo Bingjian of the Dujian Mansion. He not only went to Liaodong, but also lived in Pidao with Mao Wenlong and other generals for a while.

Soon, Wang Tiqian was called to Xinuang Pavilion, saluted and said:

"Your Majesty, Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, there is no danger to defend, and Jiannu cavalry come and go like the wind. This is a big reason why Liaodong fell."

"I feel that this disadvantage is also applicable to Jiannu."

"Most of the various units of the Dongjiang Army are scattered in the islands. Every time there is an attack, it can always make the Jiannu exhausted, and there are many surprises."

No one wanted to hear an eunuch comment on the reasons for the fall of Liaodong, but Wang Tiqian's words also made everyone in Xinuange think of a way.

Soon, Cui Chengxiu said:

"Your Majesty can order Mao Wenlong to harass Jiannu everywhere, and send another Minister of Military Aircraft to Denglai and Tianjin to supervise the two places to assist the Dongjiang Army from the sea."

"The greater the momentum created by the Dongjiang Army in Liaodong, the more support it will have for Xiong Tingbi's Liaoshen battle. Your Majesty, at this time, we must not hesitate any longer!"

Zhu Youxiao was dumbfounded. Isn't this the famous guerrilla warfare in later generations?

In fact, this is also the reason. Now that Houjin has become bigger, it is difficult to defeat them in the frontal battlefield of Liaodong.

But if you can't beat it, it doesn't mean that there is no way.

Xiong Tingbi's ultimate goal is not to repel Jiannu, but to hold on until Zhu Xieyuan defeats the five coalition forces. Now Horqin, the most powerful of the five, has been defeated, and the remaining four will sooner or later.

The goal of the Dongjiang Army is also very clear, which is to make Nurhachi difficult, and to steal his ass while he is leading the main force of the Eight Banners to march northward.

No matter how strong Houjin is, the weakly defended hinterland can hardly stop the Dongjiang army.

Just as Wang Tiqian said just now, the terrain of Liaodong is dominated by plains, and the slave cavalry are like wind and clouds, coming and going freely, and standing in an invincible position.

But Nurhachi's strategy has created a situation in which he is now beset by enemies.

The current post-Jin army is still not used to living in towns and cities. Every time a city or town, or a village or fort is conquered, they are often burned and looted.

This also created a situation. The Eight Banners cavalry came and went like the wind, and their combat effectiveness made them invincible, but the Dongjiang Army was also elusive in Liaodong.

On the wide and soft plain, from Phi Island to Hetuala, there are not even a few critical passes. The terrain with many mountains, many forests, and many rivers also makes it impossible for Houjin to see all of them.

Once Nurhachi leads the main force of the Eight Banners to march northward, the hinterland of Houjin will only be leaking everywhere...

If Mao Wenlong wanted to, he could take advantage of the time when Nurhachi was marching northward to stop his banners and drums, and bring some soldiers to suddenly appear in Houjin's old village.

This is guerrilla warfare.

Can't beat, can't we harass?

The more painful they are, the more comfortable we are!

This tactic is the most shameless, but it is the most effective tactic in today's Liaodong. Nurhachi has no third choice except to divide or retreat.

Of course, he can forcefully attack Liaoshen, and Mao Wenlong can also join forces with Tianjin and Denglai Navy, or even North Korea, to burn fire all the way behind their backs.

Now that Nurhachi knew that Zhu Xieyuan was going to Fuyuwei, it was a foregone conclusion, and he could no longer hide it, so Zhu Youxiao had nothing to pretend.

Under the edict, the naval forces of Tianjin and Denglai will fully cooperate with Mao Wenlong to harass Houjin in Liaodong. As for Xiong Tingbi, he can only rely on himself.

All Zhu Youxiao can do is non-interference, complete decentralization, let him play freely, and go one-on-one with the so-called undefeated Nurhachi.

Chapter 351 Intimidating Liaoshen

On this day, Nurhachi was closing his eyes and resting his mind in his King Khan's camp, thinking that after the Fuyuwei war was over, he would attack Shenyang in an all-round way, and then take Liaoyang to show his grand plans.

After retreating for [-] miles, the defenders in Shenyang City really stopped a lot. Although Man Gui patrolled the city wall every day, he never stepped out of the city gate.
