"No! This is absolutely not okay! Dong'er, grandpa can rely on you for anything, but I will never agree to this!"

"Grandpa Huang, didn't you just say that the slave slaves were nothing more than clowns, and that once the Ming army arrived, they would be wiped out? With such a weak enemy, my grandson is just going to follow him in order to increase his knowledge. Where could there be any danger?

My grandson promises that he will stay far away from the battlefield, just look from the rear."

"No! Absolutely not! Dong'er, you are the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty and the future emperor. Grandpa has something bad to say to you, that is, your father is going to go to war. Grandpa may be able to do it, but you, grandpa are

Absolutely not agree to that.”

In August 1611, the news that Nurhachi raised an army and openly annihilated the Tieling Guard Ming army reached Beijing, and the entire Ming officialdom was shocked.

What's going on? Wasn't this Jianzhou Jurchen extremely respectful to me, the Ming Dynasty? Any little guerrilla, small Dusi went to Jianzhou, and was respectfully called "Master". How could such a humble Jianzhou dare to attack the Ming Dynasty?

?

Moreover, if these guys didn't take action, they would directly destroy the entire Tieling Guard's 2,000 soldiers and horses. When did the Jianzhou Jurchens become so capable of fighting?

However, no matter what, since Jianzhou has taken action, there is no reason why the Ming Dynasty should not fight back. Therefore, without the need for various officials to write letters, the Ministry of War itself submitted a report to the cabinet, requesting the mobilization of troops to exterminate the Jianzhou Jurchens.

Zhu Youdong, who has always paid close attention to this, actually got the news earlier than the Ministry of War in Beijing of the Ming Dynasty. After receiving the news that Nurhaci finally raised the flag, Zhu Youdong was happy but also felt great pressure in his heart.

Although he took the initiative to provoke others at first, they did not accept the challenge at all. Unexpectedly, the Japanese time traveler gave him a divine assist unintentionally.

However, now that Nurhaci has raised the flag in advance according to his plan, Zhu Youdong is still a little scared to face this military genius who, in the historical standard, as a backward tribal chief, conquered the entire Ming Dynasty and Liaodong!

This is of course normal. After all, I was just a diaosi before time travel. Before time travel, I made all kinds of complaints in front of the keyboard without any psychological pressure. But now...

However, Zhu Youdong quickly made up his mind: I am a little scared, but I still have to face you in person!

After receiving the news of the erection of the flag in Jianzhou, Zhu Youdong first asked Liu Zhaosun to lead a group of people on a river warship sent by Li Ruzhang to escort 200,000 taels of silver to the west coast of the Yangtze River: Liu Wei and Ma Qiancheng, you should prepare in advance.

Then he immediately requested an order from Beijing: Grandfather, the matter of establishing the state involves Kuandian, so my grandson wants to discuss it with you in person. Moreover, if there is a war, a lot of money will definitely be spent, and my grandson still has some money here.

, I want to send it to Beijing.

Of course, Wanli would not refuse such an initiative to send money: the Ministry of Household Affairs in Beijing is so clean that it can starve a mouse to death, and the money for the war must come from the internal treasury. This makes Wanli feel heartache. This will

If someone is willing to offer money, that would be great.

After Zhu Youdong arrived in Beijing, the first thing he proposed was: I will contribute the money, and I can contribute more. But the emperor must not underestimate Nurhaci's flag this time. Jianzhou Jurchen's own strength is not weak. This time

They have also colluded with the Japanese, which should not be underestimated. Therefore, the dispatch of troops this time cannot be a matter of the Liaodong Town family. Elite soldiers and generals must be mobilized from all over the world to eliminate them in one fell swoop.

Wanli agreed to this request: as long as someone was willing to pay.

But Zhu Youdong's second request was that he should participate in the expedition against the Jianzhou Jurchens!

"Grandpa Emperor, I personally went on many expeditions with Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu. When Emperor Xuanzong was the grandson of the Emperor, he accompanied Chengzu on many expeditions. Later, the King of Han rebelled, and Emperor Xuanzong personally went on military expeditions and forced the King of Han to surrender without a fight. I

The ancestors of the Zhu family were all so heroic and heroic. As a descendant of the Zhu family, my grandson should imitate the sages and go to battle in person so as not to fall short of the glory of his ancestors!"

Seeing that Wanli was still hesitant, Zhu Youdong took another step forward and said close to Wanli's ear: "Grandpa Huang, although using culture to suppress military force can indeed prevent the country from avoiding the separatist rule of vassal towns like the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. But now I, the Ming Dynasty, have no problem suppressing military personnel.

Is it too much? When a general of the second-level military rank sees a prefect of the fifth-level civil servant, he has to call himself a junior general and pay his respects. If the military men are destroyed like this, how can our future soldiers of the Ming Dynasty still have the strength to protect their families and the country? Moreover, the civil servants are completely suppressed.

After passing over the warriors, they also posed a hidden danger to the imperial power. Although they will not raise troops to rebel like the warriors, they are now constantly hollowing out the foundation of our Ming Dynasty. By then, our Ming Dynasty will also be subjugated! And what about these civil servants? Change their masters.

You can also be an official... Grandpa Huang, your grandson must take this opportunity to establish contact with the military people. We don't want to return to the situation where civil and military forces were equal to the founding of the Ming Dynasty, but at least we must be able to use military people to counter the civil servants when necessary!

"

This passage really moved Wanli.

"Dong'er, promise, you'll just stay in the back?"

"My grandson can guarantee it! Grandpa Huang, Nurhachi is a hero, and such a person is not stupid. In any case, when my Ming army arrives in Liaodong, he will never enter the border wall. So, if my grandson can go this time,

, I will never step out of Crow Falcon Pass."

"In this case, grandpa can promise you."

"Grandson, thank you, Grandpa Huang!"

"Hehehe, don't be too quick to thank me. Since you are the nominal commander-in-chief this time, what are the expenses for this expedition?"

"Grandpa Huang, don't worry. My grandson has ordered Nanjing to ship two million taels of silver. If it's not enough, there are still three million taels ready for shipment."

"Why do you need so much money to conquer Jianzhou? Grandpa Huang's campaign against Bozhou lasted for so many years, but it only cost more than two million taels. This Jianzhou? Huh, the army is everywhere, wiping it all out in one fell swoop!"

Uh... forget it, the entire Ming Dynasty does not take Jianzhou seriously at this moment. The thought of underestimating the enemy is common, and Zhu Youdong is too lazy to distinguish and emphasize it.

In September 1611, the Ming Dynasty court issued an order to mobilize guardsmen and military soldiers from all over the country to gather in Liaodong.

Liaodong Town itself is responsible for sending 30,000 troops (including 5,000 Shanhaiguan garrison).

The three major military towns of Datong, Xuanfu and Jizhen each sent 10,000 troops.

The three towns of Yansui, Ningxia and Taiyuan each sent 5,000 troops.

The Beijing camp sent three thousand troops.

The Henghai Guard in the south dispatched all 5,600 soldiers, Sichuan Town dispatched 5,000 troops, and Chongqing Guard Shizhu Thousand Households sent out 1,000 troops.

In addition, the imperial edict ordered the tributary Korea to send 10,000 troops, and the Kuandian Guard outside the border wall prepared a guard station of 5,000 troops, ready to attack Jianzhou from behind at any time.

The total strength of the above-mentioned troops totals more than 105,000 combat troops. The supporting auxiliary troops are provided by each town and garrison station where the troops are sent. Rough statistics show that the auxiliary troops cannot be less than 30,000. In short, there are about 135,000 troops in total.

The army is said to be 400,000 to the outside world.

The Ming Dynasty requested that, except for Liaodong Zhenbing and Kuandian Guards, all troops drawn from all over the country should arrive at the front line of Shanhaiguan within the thirty-ninth year of Wanli (1611). The Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Works should be prepared before this

Food, people, and the road from Beijing to Guanwai were renovated in advance.

At the same time, the imperial court issued an imperial edict to first disburse one million taels of internal funds and repay the military expenses owed to Jiubian important towns over the years. After receiving the edict, the military towns must quickly assemble their armies and set off to gather at Shanhaiguan as soon as possible.

In the same month, Yang Gao, the former governor of Liaodong who had just resigned and returned home, was appointed as Minister of War and Liaodong Manager. He was responsible for commanding the Ming army that was about to gather and go out to fight.

There was no objection from the Ming Dynasty to all the matters mentioned above. Even regarding the appointment of Yang Hao, although there were objections from the imperial censor, there was not much response.
