Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

Guo Yunhou hesitated, wanting to ask His Majesty to cough up another 1000 million taels.

But looking at Zhu Youjian's expression that I'll chop you if you dare to open your mouth, I finally gave it up.

That's all. With these 1000 million taels, we can last until the autumn harvest.

When the military pay is distributed at the end of the year, I will ask His Majesty for it.

Leeks need to be cut slowly.

After the dynasty dispersed, Zhang Weixian brought Governor Yuan to the front of the side hall a few days later.

Hearing that Yuan Chonghuan had arrived, Zhu Youjian immediately had someone make tea to receive him.

Li Chen also floated out of the portrait and watched quietly.

Regarding Yuan Chonghuan, Li Chen never knew what to say about him.

This person has some abilities, but not much.

In history, if he dared to kill Mao Wenlong, it would be obvious that his strategic vision was not good at all.

Moreover, there are signs of party struggle and a strong desire to control power.

In addition, this guy also resells private grain, and Li Chen suspects that he has a lot to do with the Donglin Party.

"The last general, Yuan Chonghuan, comes to see His Majesty!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Yuan Chonghuan entered the side hall and saluted Zhu Youjian without saying a word.

There's no choice in terms of attitude.

Zhu Youjian nodded and asked him to stand up and sit down.

"Yuan Aiqing, you must already know what the Ministry of War is thinking."

"The [-] garrison of the Southern District Captain's Mansion needs someone to organize and train."

"Zhang Guogong means that he wants you to go."

"I don't know what General Yuan wants."

South?

Yuan Chonghuan frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then cupped his hands.

"Your Majesty, I hope to go to Liaodong to kill the enemy and serve the country."

"Please allow your Majesty."

What can I do in the south?

Yuan Chenghuan had already thought about it from the first moment he was called in.

With his achievements, His Majesty will definitely respond if he wants to go to Liaodong!

As long as he makes some achievements, he can easily take down Sun Chengzong.

"Liaodong?"

"Now Liaodong is in charge of Sun Chengzong, Sun Guozhen and Sun Chuanting."

"Plus Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Army."

"There are not many positions available for Yuan Aiqing to choose from at this time."

"It's better to go to the south and integrate the garrison there. I'll remember your work."

Hearing that Yuan Chenghuan wanted to go to Liaodong, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but persuade him.

The framework of Liaodong was built by Taizu.

The three grandsons plus Mao Wenlong are enough to make the Liaodong defense line look like an iron barrel.

If Yuan Chenghuan is allowed to go at this time, there may be trouble.

"Your Majesty, the Liaodong defense line was managed by General Mo and Sun."

"The general will also play a greater role when he goes to Liaodong."

"In less than five years, the general will surely be able to pacify Liaodong!"

Seeing that Zhu Youjian still disagreed, Yuan Chenghuan was a little anxious.

He didn't want to go south.

What's the point of being in front of a mere boss of the garrison?

Only the Liaodong Cavalry was worthy of Yuan Chenghuan.

Five years?

Zhu Youjian's face twitched when he heard these words, and he looked carefully at Taizu next to him.

Sure enough, Taizu's face instantly darkened a lot.

Finally came...

"Five years of Ping Liao?"

"Is Yuan Aiqing joking?"

"Although the Tatars have experienced two major defeats now, they are still able to protect themselves."

"In addition, many tribes in Eastern Mongolia have taken refuge in Houjin. If there is a war, they will definitely come to help."

Zhu Youjian touched his nose and did not refuse in a hurry. Instead, he curiously chatted with Yuan Chenghuan.

He also wanted to know how this man was deceived in history.

However, his words changed in Yuan Chenghuan's eyes.

Have the opportunity!

I’m not afraid you’ll ask, I’m just afraid you won’t be interested!

In order to regain control of Liaodong, he carefully prepared this strategy.

I believe that I can definitely impress Zhu Youjian in one fell swoop.

"Your Majesty, the first step of this strategy is to use Liao people to defend Liao territory. Your Majesty has already started to do this."

"I have to say that His Majesty's vision is truly unique."

"As long as this step is taken, the logistical pressure on Liaodong's defense will be drastically reduced."

"But this is not enough. The next step is to cultivate self-sufficiency in the fields and reduce the cost of transporting materials."

"If you want to pacify Liaodong, sometimes you don't need to fight. You just need to hold off and you can win."

"The general thought that all we needed to do was form an army with local people in Liaodong and add farming methods."

"With the advantage of the border, if we delay it for three years, Houjin will inevitably be in chaos if we can't attack it for a long time."

"By then, we will have enough food at the border by relying on farming methods."

"With only one hundred thousand troops, Liaodong can be pacified!"

Yuan Chenghuan was still observing Zhu Youjian's expression as he spoke.

Although his method is a bit timid, it is very stable.

And it can also save the court a lot of food and grass expenses.

It can be regarded as exchange for Liaodong at the minimum price.

It's just that Zhu Youjian didn't speak after listening, and his face was paralyzed, showing no emotion or anger.

Yuan Chenghuan had no choice but to continue talking.

"In addition, Your Majesty can sell grain to the Mongolian tribes from the border."

"Using grain and grass as bait to lure those grassland people to give up their gold and switch to the Ming Dynasty."

"As long as Mongolia can be won over, Houjin will not be able to stay idle for a few more days."

At this point, his five-year plan has been fully revealed.

Zhu Youjian thought seriously for a while after listening.

One thing to say is indeed quite inflammatory.

If the court did not have enough money and food, he might really use this method.

but now...

Huh, defense?

After that, all the Jin Tatars were beaten back to their hometown. Do I need to defend?

When business taxes come up this year, Huang Taiji will die next year!

"Taizu, what do you think?"

However, Zhu Youjian did not rush to reply, but first asked Taizu from his heart.

"How to see? See with your eyes."

"It sounds good, but there are a lot of problems."

"And now the focus of the Ming Dynasty is no longer on Ping Liao, but on training troops."

"If he can't get out, does he want to scare the soldiers of the Liaoning Cavalry to death?"

After listening to Yuan Chenghuan's Five Years of Pingliao, Li Chen only had four words to comment.

A castle in the air.

The so-called Liaodong raises Liao people. If there are no potatoes and sweet potatoes in that land, how can we raise them?

In the end, the court will still have to allocate money and food.

And that’s not counting weapons or anything like that.

Historically, Zhu Youjian simply believed this nonsense and ended up filling in all the Ming Dynasty's family assets.

In the end, I didn't save much.

"Then we should arrange for him to go south?"

Zhu Youjian also felt that what Taizu said was right.

He is no longer the same person he was a few months ago.

After following Taizu for so long, his abilities are constantly improving.

Now the Ming Dynasty has set off a wave of enthusiasm for joining the army!

Countless people were sharpening their knives, eager to chop off Huang Taiji's head.

If you don't fight at this time, wouldn't it be like pouring cold water on yourself?

"No, since he wants to go so much, let him go to Liaodong to cooperate with Sun Chengzong."

"Just be responsible for the defense of Xifengkou and other places."

"Didn't he offer to sell grain to Eastern Mongolia?"

"Also agreed."

"Let Jin Yiwei follow him secretly to see if there is anyone from the Donglin Party behind this person."

"We don't believe that he, a border general, doesn't know that once this food flows into Eastern Mongolia, it will inevitably transfer to Hou Jin."

"It sounds nice to say that he is trying to lure Eastern Mongolia to switch to the Ming Dynasty, but we always feel that his purpose is to help some bastards open channels."

"Put a piece of bait down, maybe you can hook a big fish!"

Li Chen touched his chin and sneered and shook his head.

Seeing that Yuan Chenghuan wanted to go to Liaodong so much, Li Chen always felt that there was something wrong with it.

There are many records in history saying that this person smuggled a large amount of grain and grass in Liaodong area.

Just in time, let’s take this opportunity to check it out.
