Qian Longxi nodded and said: "Duoyan is a very important place. It is not just rich in products. We also have to consider something more profound."
Li Biao nodded. Such a good opportunity cannot be as simple as getting some benefits. The benefits must be maximized.
"What do you mean?" Li Biao asked.
"Yuan Chonghuan has already mastered the military power of Ji Liao Town, and there are still two areas left in Jiubian Town." Qian Longxi said in a low voice.
The nine-border town in the north is generally divided into three parts.
One is the Jiliao area, which is now managed by Yuandudu, the governor of Jiliao.
In addition, Xuanfu Town and Datong Town are the second area, where there is the Governor of Xuanda, who uniformly manages the subordinate Datong General Soldiers, Xuanfu Town General Soldiers, and Shanxi Town General Soldiers.
Everyone may not be familiar with Shanxi Town because it is located behind Xuanda University in the central region of Shanxi Province. It plays a role in providing strategic depth and support for Xuanda University.
In the Ming Dynasty, Shanxi Town was also known as Taiyuan Town and Sanguan Town, which is also known as Wai Sanguan.
The border wall defended by Shanxi Town starts from the bank of the Yellow River in Baode County, Shanxi Province in the west, passes through the meander, Pianguan, and Laoniu Bay in Qingshuihe County, Inner Mongolia to the north, and then turns eastward.
When it reaches Yajiao Mountain, it turns to the southeast, turns to the northeast at Lishenchi, Ningwuguan and other places, passes through Daixian, Fanzhi and other counties to the north, and arrives at Pingxingguan in Lingqiu County.
Then it turned south from the beginning, passed Longquan Pass (now west of Fuping County, Hebei Province), consolidated the pass and reached Huangyuling (east of Heshun County, Shanxi Province), which was more than 1,600 miles long.
The administrative office first set up Pianguan, and moved to Ningwu in the 19th year of Jiajing's reign in the Ming Dynasty. It borders Datong Town and Xuanfu Town and is known as the "middle three borders" of the nine northern defense borders in the Ming Dynasty.
Xuanfu, Datong, and the three towns of Shanxi are all under the control of Governor Xuanda.
In terms of logistical supply, these three towns are divided into Beijing transportation materials and democratic movement materials.
The materials transported from Beijing to the three towns all come from the Ministry of Household Affairs. They are transported upstream from the Yongding River to the lower garden of Zhangjiakou, and then transported to various places by land.
In terms of democratic movement materials, Shanxi Town received all supplies from the Chief Secretary of Shanxi Province. Datong Town received supplies from Henan and Shanxi. Xuanfu Town received supplies from Beizhili, Henan, and Shandong.
Among them, the Xuanfu Democracy Movement was registered and forwarded by the Ministry of Household Affairs (the original part of the Taicang Bank of the Ministry of Revenue also came from the Democracy Movement Bank), and the other two were local to local. Their situation is relatively poor. They need unified deployment and coordination by the Governor of Xuanda.
The third part is the four towns of Yulin Town, Ningxia Town, Gansu Town and Guyuan Town. Ningxia Town is located in Yinchuan. Both Ningxia Town and Guyuan Town are in today's Ningxia. Yulin Town is in northern Shaanxi. Gansu Town's military headquarters is located in Zhangye, Gansu Province.
The border wall under the jurisdiction of Gansu Town starts from the bank of the Yellow River in Jingtai County in the east, and another branch starts from the north bank of Lanzhou City in the north to the northwest border of Jingtai County to form a line, diagonally to the northwest, passing through Minqin, Yongchang, Shandan, Zhangye, Gaotai,
It extends from the borders of Jiuquan counties to the south, bypassing Jiayuguan City, and ends at the northern foot of the Qilian Mountains, a length of more than 1,600 miles.
These four towns also have civilian officials for unified management. This official position is called the Governor of the Three Sides.
The governors of the three sides have great power and their jurisdiction is extremely broad.
The tripartite general system controls the governor of Hexi, the governor of Hedong, the governor of Shaanxi, and the nine general soldiers of Gansu, Liang, Su, Xi, Ningxia, Yansui, Shendaoling, Xing'an, and Guyuan.
The Governor of Ji Liao, the Governor of Xuanda, and the Governor of the Three Borders were the three elders who controlled the local military power in the entire Ming Dynasty. All the border troops on the front line of the Northern Great Wall were in the hands of these three people.
Now, Donglin has obtained the military power of Jiliao Town.
If the human heart is not as strong as the snake swallowing the elephant, it can be said that it is like looking at Shu from Long.
Li Biao and Qian Longxi came up with the idea of announcing the university.
Governor Xuanda mainly defended Haraqin in the north, Ordos in the west, and Tumut in the northwest. Now that Yang Fan has defeated the Haraqin people, the threat in the north has been lifted.
And Donglin planned Yang Fan as his main enemy. He was now the most capable person in the emperor's hands, and he also had military power, so they couldn't help but ignore him.
Based on their understanding of Yang Fan based on the intelligence they have collected over a long period of time, after Yang Fan's victory, he will definitely make an effort to eliminate the Tumuts and Ordos people.
If he can really accomplish this, all Mongolian forces north of the Great Wall, to the Hexi Corridor in the west, and to the Liaoxi Corridor in the east will be wiped out.
In this way, the situation in the north will change dramatically. The power of the Mongols will become the three major forces north of the Great Gobi: the Khalkha Mongols, the Eastern Mongols, and the Jiannu. (We don't need to consider Mongolia in the desert for the time being.)
In this way, the governors of the Three Sides and Xuanda, as well as the general troops under their command, can be abolished. Because there are no enemies in the north, there is no need for the court to spend money to support them.
And for such a large area as Monan, the imperial court was bound to establish a new province.
The cabinet can take this opportunity to propose reorganizing the troops on the nine sides, eliminating the weak and retaining the strong, and moving them to various newly established military formations in Monan.
The Donglin Party can take the opportunity to control the military power of the entire north. After all, the most capable army is the northern frontier army.
Li Biao's eyes flashed, obviously he was thinking about something.
Smart people don't need to speak clearly, as long as they reveal their meaning, both parties will understand.
Li Biao asked: "Did Yue Yuan send you a letter?"
Qian Longxi nodded. It was impossible for Yuan Chonghuan not to pay attention to such a big matter. He was originally worried about how to implement the restoration of Liaoning in five years. Now, a big pie fell from the sky. How could he not pay attention.
"The meaning of the element is that the east of Duoyan is connected to Chahar to the north, Jinzhou to the south, and Jiannu to the east. It is a battleground for military strategists. It is also flanked by the Guanningjin defense line across the Nuruerhu Mountain.
The location is extremely important. He hopes that this place will be managed by him and included in the Liaodong Town area." Qian Longxi said.
Li Biao nodded and said: "If several fortified cities are built there, along the same line as Jinzhou City, and connected to Chahar in the north, then the Jiannu will be sealed to the east of the Liao River. The considerations of the elements are correct. Yes.
Restoring Liao in five years will indeed be of great help."
To the north of Jinzhou is Guangning City, which is the North Town City. It was built in the Liao Dynasty. Guangning Mansion was established in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, and Guangning Guard was established in the Ming Dynasty. It is the general garrison of Liaodong Town, one of the nine important towns. Liaodong
In the town, the general troops were first stationed in Guangning (now Beizhen City, Liaoning Province), and in the winter after Longqing, they were stationed in Dongning Guards Station in today's Liaoyang City, Liaoning Province.
The position of Guangning is extremely important. If it can be restored, it can become a corner with Jinzhou, greatly enhancing the security of the Guanning-Jin defense line. This is equivalent to continuing to push the front to the north.
Even if Guangning cannot be restored, building two fortified cities in Chaoyang and Chifeng in the northwest of Jinzhou can greatly relieve the pressure on Jinzhou. And the security along the Great Wall can also be completely guaranteed.
Yuan Chonghuan wanted the eastern region of Duoyan. Donglin considered taking over the entire Monan area and transferring the nine border troops to Monan for reorganization. Thus, he controlled all the most important field corps of the Ming Dynasty in his own hands.
All we need to do is mobilize the Nine General Soldiers from the three sides and the Four General Soldiers from Xuanda. In this way, the Governors of the Three Sides and the Governor of Xuanda will become empty.
