I'm really not the carpenter emperor

"The current Ming army is not the Ming army of Sarhu back then. It is said that their suppressing cannons are as powerful as the red cannons, but they are very light."

"The Ming army also has the latest line tactics and handheld firecrackers, which are extremely powerful."

What Fan Wencheng said was indeed true. Huang Taiji knew in his heart what the fighting power of the Ming army was like now, but when he asked Fan Wencheng, he didn't ask him to say this to dampen morale.

When Fan Wencheng saw that everyone was discussing, he smiled slightly and changed the topic.

"However, you don't need to worry too much. The only ones that the Ming army can really fight are the Liaodong and Nine Sides. They still have to guard against the north, and it is impossible for them all to go out."

"So the 30 army cannot be true. According to my understanding of the Han people in the pass, it is probably an imaginary number, just like Cao Mengde's false claim of 83 troops in the Battle of Chibi."

The last example of the Three Kingdoms made all the princes and ministers present understand at once.

If there is anything else, they may not know it yet, but they are very familiar with the Three Kingdoms. Which Jurchen general does not have a copy of the Three Kingdoms in his house now?

Leading the army to deploy and lead troops to fight, but also rely on the Three Kingdoms to make military books!

When Huang Taiji heard the back, his complexion gradually turned better, he raised his hand and pressed down, signaling the princes and princes to be quiet, and asked calmly:

"How can Mr. Fan see that the Ming army's 30 naval and land troops are an imaginary number?"

Fan Wencheng already knew that Huang Taiji wanted to ask him what he said, and he had already thought of a universal template in his heart, and he opened his mouth and said with a smile:

"Khan, you Baylors, the 30 troops of the Ming court are said to include the two towns of Xuanda, the guards in Shandong and the Central Plains, and the Denglai Navy to cooperate at sea. The scope of troop deployment covers at least the mountains, Shaanxi and Shandong provinces."

"Let's not talk about how much money there is, but these three provinces are thousands of miles away from Liaodong. How can we mobilize them all at once?"

"Besides, for such an important operation, before leaving the customs, the Ming army must gather in the capital, hold a swearing-in meeting, and Apocalypse will also speak. As for the salary and where to go along the way, it will take a long time to discuss."

"In my opinion, the Ming court said that it will immediately mobilize the army to leave the customs. At least they will not be able to leave the division within this year. In addition, the generals of the Ming army are all corrupt, and it has become commonplace to suck the blood of soldiers from them."

"Currently, the winter is about to enter. Liao will not be civilized until at least June next year, and Jianzhou will only get warmer later. I am afraid that it will be difficult to provide cotton-padded clothes and trousers for the expeditionary army!"

After saying this, everyone's doubts were almost completely gone.

Fan Wencheng's words not only made them attach a little importance to the current Ming army's combat effectiveness, but also did not affect the morale of the victory, Huang Taiji kept nodding his head.

This dog slave is comfortable to use.

Daishan looked down at the inside of his red armor, which was covered with light and warm fur and leather. He imagined that the Ming army was fighting him shivering in the cold, and couldn't help laughing.

The princes and princes of the Eight Banners, Baylor, were the same, all of them relaxed at once.

Fan Wencheng laughed and continued:

"Of course, there are some of them who are not afraid of the cold, that is, the elite frontier troops in Liaodong and Xuanda, but I estimate that, excluding those stationed in the city, the number of frontier troops that can be transferred to Liaodong will not exceed [-]."

Daishan laughed loudly: "That is to say, my Dajin warriors only need to repel the [-] frontier troops, and the rest of the guards are just lambs waiting to be slaughtered?"

Fan Wencheng nodded, and was about to speak, but Amin rushed to the side: "Hahaha, be careful to burst your belly, that is a 20 Han people with two legs!"

Huang Taiji raised his hand again to press down, and then said:

"Everyone don't need to worry. Mr. Fan has already made it very clear that the Ming army will not be able to leave the customs within this year. We can slowly prepare for the battle."

"What's more, Xiong Tingbi made a lot of noise, but now he is still huddled in the big city of Liaodong, which also confirms Mr. Fan's words."

Chapter 899

"What did Xiong Tingbi say!"

In Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao raised his head and asked, "We won't be able to leave the customs within this year, at least we won't be able to leave the customs until next year's enlightenment?"

"What the hell does he want to do?"

The news that Xiong Tingbi sent to Huang Taiji was true and false.

The scale of this troop transfer was second only to the Yongle Five Expeditions to Mongolia and the Wanli Three Expeditions in the Ming Dynasty, not only the three provinces of Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Shandong estimated by Fan Wencheng.

It even included most of the south of the Yangtze River, as well as Huguang, Henan and other places. This was a large-scale troop deployment.

Zhu Youxiao originally planned to deal with Jiannu directly in one go, so he sorted out all the guards in various places. Jiangnan does not need to send troops. The main purpose of this troop transfer is to rotate the defense.

As for the Central Plains Guards Army brought out by Zhu Xieyuan, they are the stabbing generals from all over the country. Zhu Youxiao intends to send them out of customs, and it would be a disaster to keep them.

The current situation is not the same as it was eight years ago when he just succeeded to the throne, and the whole world is looking forward to such a big victory.

But what Xiong Tingbi said, he directly reported that he suggested that the army should be launched and leave the customs in July next year!

What kind of concept is this? What Zhu Youxiao wanted to do right away will have to wait another year. Who knows what the situation will be then!

"My lord, since Governor Xiong said so, it means that Liao affairs still cannot be done. If you know that you can't do it, you can't do it like this."

Wang Chaofu said carefully while grinding.

Zhu Youxiao leaned on the Kowloon throne, snorted coldly and said, "What is this Xiong Tingbi up to, the noise is as loud as thunder, and he will play it to me in a blink of an eye, saying that he will leave the customs in July next year."

"What he wants to do specifically, he didn't mention a single word in this memorandum. I can understand what he concealed from those generals, but can't he even trust me?"

"What plan can't you tell me, how can I continue to trust him?"

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao was furious from the bottom of his heart, and threw Xiong Tingbi's memorial directly to the ground.

Wang Chaofu bent down to build it, and put it back respectfully, "Master, you can't say that. Governor Xiong has been in the Liao Dynasty for more than [-] years, and the Liao affairs have reached the current situation. He has contributed a lot."

"I know, I know, I know it all." Zhu Youxiao replied impatiently, he actually understood the truth, but he couldn't get angry, and he couldn't let it go.

This Xiong Tingbi has such a low EQ!

I trust him so much that in the past eight years, I have almost never asked about Liao affairs, and when encountering difficulties, he is also the first to help solve them.

But what about him?There is a plan, and even the emperor himself does not tell the whole story!

Is he still afraid that there will be secret works of Huang Taiji in the palace?

"Forget it, forget it, let him do whatever he wants, leave a mess behind, and I have to take it for him."

Zhu Youxiao suddenly figured it out, and smiled helplessly.

That is to say, we have passed through, if Zhu Youjian is the cutie, Xiong Tingbi will be suspected of this matter, and it will be a matter of time before he is forced to die.

This kind of character is nothing more than that this guy can have the miserable ending in history.

If Zhu Youxiao hadn't known that he was absolutely loyal and capable, this matter really couldn't have passed easily. After all, what plan can't even be told by the current emperor?

Now what Zhu Youxiao wants to think about is that Xiong Tingbi completely ignores the mess that Xiong Tingbi has left for himself due to the mobilization of soldiers and horses from other places.

"Xiong Tingbi, Xiong Tingbi, why haven't you made any progress? When will I be relieved?" Zhu Youxiao leaned down, picked up a bunch of memorials, shook his head and said to himself:

"Look, these are all to impeach you. Without me, ten of you would all be dead."

The next day, at the Emperor's Palace.

Facing several cabinet ministers, Zhu Youxiao asked: "Today, I called several cabinet elders here to inquire about something important. How are you preparing?"

Wen Tiren said: "It is already October, and the border areas are getting bitterly cold. If you want to go out, you must prepare at least 40 sets of cotton clothes and bedding."

"I asked the Secretary. 40 sets of cotton clothes are still too tight. Even if Kaihua is next year, it will not be finished."

"So difficult?" Zhu Youxiao tilted his head, thinking about it and said:

"If the imperial court can't finish it, let the folks do it. Find businessmen from the folks to cooperate with the imperial bureau to make the cotton-padded clothes and quilts needed for customs clearance. The color must be new and keep warm."

"Distribute these 40 sets to four garment shops. The quality is better. The delivery will be in May next year. The imperial court will buy them with silver. I will trouble Wen Ge to inform the Ministry of Household Affairs about this matter."

Wen Tiren nodded, "This matter is within the responsibility of the minister. Your Majesty's method is really very clever. Using the power of the people, 40 sets of cotton-padded clothes and bedding are indeed not many."

After he finished speaking, Hu Shiguang said:

"In addition to cotton clothes and bedding, there are also the expenses of the army."

"Currently, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Huguang and Henan regions have begun to switch. In some places, the imperial court has not reissued the military salary, which has caused a lot of dissatisfaction."

"Hmph, dissatisfied, they have the right to be dissatisfied!" Zhu Youxiao raised his legs and thought about it:

"Drop the two towns of Xuanda, and Shandong soldiers and horses will enter Beijing first. As for the soldiers and horses from Shanxi and Shaanxi, let Zhu Xieyuan draw up a list and present it."

"The same goes for the soldiers and horses of the guards from various places in the south of the Yangtze River. Prepare a list and present it to me."

"Several, is there anything else I need to decide?"

Several cabinet ministers looked at each other, and Wei Guangwei, the chief assistant of the cabinet, said: "Your Majesty, He Shijin has been beheaded by Huang Degong. This matter should be explained to the world."

"The dignified governor, the great official of the frontier, can't die in an unclear way."

Zhu Youxiao frowned, and said after a long time: "Since we have to make an explanation, let Wei Zhongxian do it. Isn't he the best at making up crimes?"

"This..." Several cabinet ministers, you look at me, I look at you, they are all in trouble.

"Why, is there something wrong?" Zhu Youxiao sneered, leaned on the chair, glanced at the empty Huangji Hall, and said:

"I wanted to rectify the guard at the beginning, didn't you all agree?"

"The governors and ministers of the eight provinces jointly filed a petition to cancel the decree that has been made. If you don't support it, then I have to do it myself."

"He Shijin is dead, are you going to fight me for a dead man?"

It was the first time for the emperor to speak so bluntly. The elders in the pavilion were secretly startled, and they couldn't fix it anymore. In the past, their conversations were always obscure.

It's good now, it was directly put on the table by the emperor.

"The ministers obey the order..."

Zhu Youxiao continued: "It's good if you don't have any. Regarding the transfer of troops to leave the customs, everything should be done according to Xiong Tingbi's instructions. No matter how loud the movement is, the news will go out of the customs, but don't transfer troops yet."

"Ask all the provincial guards to give me a list. The people on the list will lead their troops out of the customs next year to conquer Jianlu."

All those present are already extremely human ministers, and they are active in their hearts when they are court assistants. They have long understood what the emperor means.

This is to take advantage of this dispatch of troops to transfer the thorns who oppose the reorganization of the guards out of the pass. It is best to die directly outside the pass. Even if they come back alive, they can be transferred from the original guards in the name of meritorious service.

In this way, the power of the local guards will be greatly weakened, and the reform will be carried out smoothly throughout the country.

The reorganization of the guards has become unstoppable at this point, and it is the common wish of all the people in the world to conquer Jianlu.

But once he went out, he would be in Xiong Tingbi's territory, accompanied by many elites who were loyal to the king's affairs, so it was uncertain whether he would come back or not.

Chapter 900 Out of the old and in with the new

In November, Shaanxi.

"I handed you here today because I have received the imperial court's order." Zhu Xieyuan sat in the lobby, beside the more powerful civil servants and generals in Shaanxi.

The head of the generals is Chen Yanzuo, Marquis of Taining, who is in charge of the post-military governor's mansion.

The head of civil servants is Li Qiyuan, the current governor of Shaanxi.

The two of them are both in positions after the imperial reorganization, Chen Yanzuo represents the new Wuxun power of Tianqi Dynasty, and Li Qiyuan is a member of the Zhejiang Party.

To put it bluntly, as the first governor of the Zhejiang Party, Li Qiyuan was able to sit in this position thanks to Wen Tiren after joining the cabinet.

Naturally, prior to this, there was an inevitable period of open and secret fighting between the court and the central government.

These are all internal struggles among officials. Zhu Youxiao knew it clearly through the Jiaoshifu, but he didn't intervene. If the officials fight, the throne will be stable, right?

It was Zhu Xieyuan, governor of Shanxi Province who spoke.

He tapped the seat with his fingers, and after a long time, he winked to the side. The commander of the Shanxi Town West Guard wearing a basalt helmet strode forward like a tiger, and said in a deep voice:

"The imperial court has decided that in a few days a large army will leave the customs to conquer Jianzhou. This campaign will surely destroy Jianzhou, and Xue Salhu will be ashamed!"

Just hearing this, many people were quite happy.

It's going to war, isn't that a good thing?

Go out and make military achievements, and come back to talk, especially now that the court is in a hurry to rectify the guards, military commanders should make more contributions in order to keep their official status.

Afterwards, he said fiercely like a tiger: "The following is the list of the guards in Shanxi and Shanxi this time. It has been confirmed today, and I will report it to Your Majesty immediately!"

"Shaanxi, Jiang Rang, General Soldier of Yulin, Wu Lie, General Soldier of Ganquan, Yan'an Prefecture, Song Li, Chief Soldier of Jingyang, Xi'an Prefecture, He Yong, General Soldier of Lintao..."

"In Shanxi, Gao Ye, the commander-in-chief of Taiyuan, the commander-in-chief of Hequ is as fierce as a tiger, the commander-in-chief of Daning, Li Ziyang, the commander-in-chief of Yueyang, Chen Guowei, the commander-in-chief of Pingyang Prefecture..."

The scale of soldiers and horses dispatched from Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces this time, judging from the list alone, was even larger than that dispatched in the last Saarhu battle.

Among them, there is one commander-in-chief of the nine sides and twelve commander-in-chief of miscellaneous numbers.

In addition, there are countless generals, guerrilla generals, and generals from all over the country, which are enough to make people aware of the great movement of the court this time.

What is even more surprising is that this time the troops were mobilized by roll call. The imperial court did not give you a chance to object. If you were told to go, you had to go.

If you look carefully, you will know that this time Zhu Xieyuan's selection is not random, there are really a lot of things to say here.

But in general, it is to act according to the order, to transfer the thorny heads who occupy the latrines in the mainland out of the customs, and unify them to clean up outside the customs.
