"The most important thing is to let Dorgon go to war with peace of mind."

Zhu Guoqiang said seriously:

"So, I took advantage of the fall of Luoyang and the murder of King Fu to write to the court, requesting that I personally lead the army to suppress the invaders south."

It’s as simple as giving me a pillow to sleep on!

King Fu was killed... It was just right. There was just a reason for Dorgon and Huang Taiji to march westward and to the east with peace of mind.

They marched westward and crossed eastward, so that they could have the opportunity to regain Liaodong without any bloodshed!

"Going south to suppress the invaders?"

Everyone was stunned.

"What if the court agrees?"

"The court can't possibly agree!"

Fang Yizhi said casually:

"As far as the imperial court is concerned, once the Crown Prince leads troops into the customs, many variables may arise. These are not acceptable to the imperial court!"

The success of the trip to Japan allowed Fang Yizhi to actually enter the shogunate and become the prince's staff, not just a soldier. After all, there were hundreds of soldiers like him.

"Yes, what if the prince takes the opportunity to seize the power of the place?"

Wan Shouqi sneered:

"So, no matter what, the imperial court cannot allow the Crown Prince to lead his troops south."

"Since we can figure it out, how come Huang Taiji, Dorgon and the others can't figure it out?"

"So, after rejecting the request, the Crown Prince can ask for an order again! It is tempting to attract people. In the eyes of Huang Taiji and Dorgon, the Crown Prince must find ways to go south! In this way, they will naturally feel relieved."

Fang Yizhi's words made Zhu Guoqiang laugh.

"Haha, they are judging a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart. If I wanted to... why should I wait until now?"

Zhu Guoqiang's tone was full of sarcasm. Indeed, he really wanted that position and that world...but it was definitely not now!

Even entering the customs is not now.

What does Guan Nei look like now?

Not only were refugees everywhere, but at the same time, the plague was rampant. Millions of people died of famine or plague. Entering the border at this time? Zhu Guoqiang didn't think he could handle it all.

Just wait a little longer!

As long as we wait three more days, until Li Zicheng captures the capital, and until Chongzhen dies for his country, then we can legitimately restore the Ming Dynasty.

This is the advantage of God's perspective, but in the eyes of Dorgon and Huang Taiji, they all take it for granted that they will take the opportunity to enter the border, occupy the territory, and seize the throne. However, they know that the real opportunity will be in three years.

back.

Three years, just wait three more years!

As for these three years, we must first eliminate the Jiannu and eliminate the possibility of being attacked from both sides, and then we can fully deal with the rogue bandits. Of course, there is also the need to train a group of officers and hone these officers and soldiers in the war, and wait until they enter the customs

At that time, the Pinglu army with rich practical experience outside the Pass must be a real tiger and wolf army!

Only such a tiger and wolf army can quickly end the war and let the people live in peace again. It is worth spending three years in exchange for a quick victory within one or two years!

Only in this way can people live in peace earlier!

Zhu Guoqiang then asked about the training of the troops. After all, there was going to be a war. In fact, since arriving in Liaodong, except for Dongjiang Town, the Pinglu Army had basically never fought any major battles. As for the hundreds of thousands of military households, they were regularly

It was just a training exercise. But even so, as reserve troops, according to the standards of this era, they were still elites worthy of fighting.

However, in this era, the policy of elite troops is obviously out of date. Even if there are hundreds of thousands of military households as reserves, it is impossible for all of them to be mobilized. After all, there is still... insufficient troops!

While Chen Wudi and the others were reporting, Zhu Guoqiang kept writing on the paper. Finally, he casually wrote two words on the paper, and then drew a circle.

“How many workers do we have in Shandong who are doing work-for-relief work now?”

In order to relieve the refugees from all over the country who are constantly pouring into Shandong, Shandong has been implementing "relief for work". The refugees are building construction sites and water conservancy projects in various parts of Shandong. Millions of refugees work on the construction sites in exchange for meager food.

Originally, according to Zhu Guoqiang's plan, these people were supposed to be sent overseas, immigrate overseas, and contribute a small amount to the great cause of the second expansion of the Chinese nation.

Even Zhu Guoqiang has made a plan to immigrate 500,000 people to Taiwan in the next three years, 1.5 million people to the Mekong Delta, 200,000 people to Singapore and the Malay Peninsula, and even Borneo.

There is Luzon. After all, the Spaniards now occupy Manila and the surrounding areas. As for northern Luzon, it is also a place "since ancient times".

In the end, through such dissemination, two to three million people were immigrated within three years. This is of course a very ideal number, but one thing that is certain is that if the Ming Dynasty's ships can be mobilized to transport these people out and

It’s not a problem. By then, the two to three million immigrants will be like dandelion seeds, spreading Chinese civilization in Southeast Asia and completing China’s third expansion. Just like in history, the Han people crossed the Yangtze River from the Central Plains and immigrated to the Yangtze River on a large scale.

To the south, even the Lingnan area, it may seem that those places are full of "indigenous barbarians" now, but in just two hundred years, it will become an inland that is not much different from the Ming Dynasty. Mu Ying's hundreds of thousands of field soldiers will

Yunnan has become a part of "since ancient times", and the local natives have changed to speak Mandarin, making Yunnan a province that is not much different from the mainland, not to mention the millions of immigrants!

As long as there are two hundred years, Southeast Asia will no longer be Southeast Asia, but the third great expansion of the Chinese nation after the Yellow River and the Yangtze River! Even when he thinks of that scene, Zhu Guoqiang's mind will always come up with the phrase "Everyday"

Wherever the sun and moon shine, and where the rivers reach, they are all bright lands.”

That is the real empire!

But now, the plan can be changed slightly. After all, right now, we need to expand our military strength. With only 100,000 troops, it is obvious that we cannot complete the mission three years later.

Compared with ordinary people, this group of workers is the easiest group of people to train into an army. It is even easier to train than the rural soldiers in Shandong, because they have nothing!

People who have nothing know how to cherish!

"According to the official document sent by the Shandong governor's office, there are currently about 760,000 workers in Shandong. These workers are currently distributed in official roads and water conservancy project construction sites in various places."

"Seven hundred and sixty thousand! That's a lot!"

After thinking about it, Zhu Guoqiang said.

"An order was sent to the governor of Shandong, taking into account the current raging bandits, in order to prevent workers from being incited and to facilitate management, implement militarized management of workers, organize all workers into formations, and use their free time to conduct drills..."

There are 760,000 workers, even if not all of them are real strong men, but even if there are only 200,000 to 300,000 strong men, even if they are well trained, then there are 200,000 to 300,000 reserve forces. With these hundreds of thousands of reserve forces, we can

Then, plus the rural soldiers from Shandong, he has almost a million troops under his command.

Of course, this is a theoretical number. After all, most of the rural soldiers in Shandong are just a group of civilians. Strictly speaking, their combat effectiveness is not much better than that of the bandits. At most, they have certain advantages in weapons and equipment.

There are a large number of waist knives and spears, but that's it. Well, they also have some armor, especially the elite rural soldiers in Jinan, who have tens of thousands of various pieces of armor.

However, even so, they turned out to be reserve forces who lacked training. Perhaps these people were not able to fight against the elites of the Qing Dynasty. But there was still no problem in fighting against the rogue bandits.

Last year, it was not only refugees who flowed into Shandong, there were also rogue bandits. However, they were already suppressed by the rural soldiers before they became powerful.

It is those rural soldiers who maintain the borders of Shandong. However, it is not difficult to recruit them all to fight out of the province, as long as they have enough military pay. However, they also need training after recruitment.

Let's do it step by step. First lay a good foundation. With such a million reserves as backup, at least we no longer need to worry about rogue bandits flooding the army like a flood.

Everyone discussed some other things, and just as the meeting was ending, someone came over to report.
Chapter completed!
