"I have officially issued a secret edict, ordering you Sichuan soldiers and generals to continue investigating the situation of the She'an family."
"I obey the decree."
Wanli briefly explained to eunuch Bingbi and asked him to take people to the Sichuan Army Camp to arrange the matter.
The most important matter had been solved, and Wanli was ill again. He looked at the sun setting in the west and said a few words to Prince Fu who was also looking forward to catching the assassin.
He was about to let Wang Hongyu leave.
But I saw this young man's eyes were firm, as if he had something to say.
Wanli smiled and said helplessly: "You still have something to say~ Family origin matters are the will of Emperor Taizu. Your family will pass it on well, and don't be anxious about anything."
A few hours after beating the drum, Wanli found out Wang Hongyu's origin and his relationship with the eunuch Liu Shimin.
This was one of the reasons why Wanli decided to summon him.
"Your Majesty, I am most concerned about state affairs. Both Liaodong and Southwest are currently in crisis."
Wanli said: "I already know these."
Wang Hongyu knew that he had just known that Wanli wanted to rest, so it was a bit risky to continue negotiating the matter.
but!
Wanli has two months left to live, and he doesn't have much time left for himself.
Several goals have been achieved one after another, but there are still a few that are best set when Wanli is around.
What has been achieved is: stopping internal strife, making strong military connections, and accumulating connections such as Xu Guangqi's.
However, the economy and land in the late Ming Dynasty, the war situation in Liaodong and the Donglin Party in the court were what he was more concerned about.
Especially since a war will break out in Liaodong next year, it is far from enough to unite the Sichuan, Zhejiang, and Baigan soldiers. Changes must be made in terms of the nine sides and the appointment of officials.
In particular, we must prevent Yuan Yingtai of the Donglin Party from taking up the post of Liaodong Economic Strategy.
Because as long as he is here, no matter how strong the Southern Army is, they will be tricked to death.
"I believe that the war preparations in Liaodong are still insufficient. Although our Sichuan army generals can investigate the affairs of the She family, their core task is to go to Liaodong to fight against Jiannu."
"oh?"
Wanli thought this guy was interesting. He reported that there was a risk of rebellion in She'an, and he agreed with the Sichuan soldiers who were most familiar with them to continue the investigation.
But he changed the topic and said that he must go to Liaodong. What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd?
Wang Hongyu took a deep breath and said confidently: "The Ming Dynasty's elite field warriors have already lost many in Saarhu, and the remaining main field warriors on the nine sides are insufficient. Therefore, we, the Sichuan soldiers and other elite southern troops, must go to Liaodong for a decisive battle."
When it came to military matters, Wanli also became serious and said in a majestic tone:
"We, the Ming Dynasty's nine elites, have a stronger foundation than your Sichuan soldiers. Just now, you, the Sichuan soldiers and the Southern Army, had to go to Liaodong. Did you take yourself too seriously?"
"Returning to Your Majesty, I thought that after three major defeats in Fushun Pass, Sarhu, and Kaiyuan Tieling, Liao Town lost the elites who dared to fight, leaving many soldiers. And Ji Town has long been transformed from the strongest on the nine sides.
The weakest today."
Next, examples will be discussed.
Previously, a group of battalion soldiers from Ji Town and Baoding suffered heavy losses along the way with Jun Song in Saarhu. This did not only refer to soldiers and horses, but also hundreds of grassroots generals and officers.
That's why demoted generals like Zhou Dunji and Qi Jin were used to recruit and train troops in Jizhen.
For example, the Tongzhou martial arts contest this time shows that the strength of the Sichuan troops is still there, but Ji Town is left with a bunch of showpieces.
Thinking of this, Wang Hongyu couldn't help but feel a little sad.
He thought to himself that Jizhen was originally the strongest existence in Jiubian after Qi Jiguang took office.
But the liquidation of Zhang Juzheng and the expulsion of Qi Jiguang was the first blow. The Korean war against the Japanese army and the northern army's suppression of the Qi family army and other southern armies were the second blow. In 1595, the massacre of the Qi family army who was forced to beg for wages was the third blow. Sal
Some of the main forces in Huji Town were wiped out along with Jun Song. This was the fourth blow.
Besides Ji Liao, it should be Xuanda.
The two towns of Xuanfu and Datong are poor and good at fighting hard. They have rich experience in dealing with the enemy Mongolian army. However, it will definitely be difficult to deal with Nurhaci, who mainly uses heavy armor and has better equipment than them. For example, in Sarhu, there are some Xuan army
Following Marin on the north route, he suffered heavy losses despite being outnumbered.
The three sides in the northwest, namely Yansui Town, Guyuan Town, and Gansu Town, have large forces but are poorer. Yansui Town is especially capable of fighting, but they were still defeated by Juniper.
Now, Xiong Tingbi is selecting the three northwest sides among the nine elite sides as the main force.
The last two towns of Shanxi and Shaanxi among the nine sides are Xuanda, and the supporting force of the three sides is naturally slightly less elite than the above.
Therefore, at this moment, the top field forces of the Ming Dynasty must include the elite of the Southern Army.
The famous white pole soldiers, although they are poorly equipped, are loyal, brave and good at fighting. In terms of hand-to-hand combat strength and courage, they are better than the Later Jin Army.
Qi Jiguang's nephew Qi Jin and the gunnery expert Zhang Mingshi's newly trained Zhejiang soldiers according to the "New Book of Jixiao" were equal in number to Jiubian.
There are also a group of Liu Ting's old Sichuan troops such as Zhou Dunji, Zhang Shenwu and others. They were not weaker than Jiubian. Now that they have been trained by Wang Hongyu and others, they will only become stronger and stronger.
Wanli was silent for a moment after hearing this, his energy and energy were slightly less than before, as if he had aged a few years in an instant.
"As expected of a descendant of Wu Xun, he indeed has accurate vision and dares to speak."
He stood up and walked around, obviously thinking about something.
After a moment, he said: "You Sichuan soldiers, Shizhu, and Youyang's elite have all gone north. Mu Qiyuan of the Mu family in Yunnan is a very incompetent guy... You have to trace the clues, and you also have to go north with the main force of the southern army. Nine sides
It is no longer possible to divide our troops to deter She'an's 100,000-strong army."
Then he suddenly stared at Wang Hongyu and said, "You're not just here to talk about problems, right? If you have any ideas, just tell me."
He is worthy of being an emperor.
Sure enough, he still saw through my mind.
But he must not have seen through that he wanted to take away Yuan Yingtai of the Donglin Party, or he would have done it even if he had seen through it.
Because the elites of the nine sides and the main force of the southern army can defeat Nurhachi's Eight Banners.
The premise is that you don't use Yuan Yingtai, a war novice, as your manager.
Yuan Yingtai was in charge of the Yongping Military Preparation Department at this time and was a logistics expert. His official position was not large at this time. Historically, as soon as the Donglin Party came to power, he was promoted to governor of Liaodong. As soon as Xiong Tingbi was driven out, he took over as the manager of Liaodong.
In the end, the Battle of Liaoyang and Shenyang was a disastrous defeat, ruining the last batch of elite field warriors of the Ming Dynasty during the Wanli period.
Wang Hongyu expressed his thoughts directly:
"I believe that we should send a prestigious and important minister to governor Yunnan and Guizhou in name, but in fact we will cut off the extravagance and secure the connection between the two families and Yunnan, so as to create a deterrent situation that cuts off the enemy's retreat."
Wan Li thought for a while and smiled: "Haha, it's like Wang Yangming cutting off Queen Ning's path, wonderful~
However, there are no capable ministers in Yunnan and Guizhou who are not qualified for the job. Who do you think can do the job?"
"I think there are four people who are quite prestigious and capable, who can restrain the chieftain who is about to make a move."
"Which four people?"
"Wang Dewan, Zou Yuanbiao, Yuan Keli, Yuan Yingtai." This chapter has been completed!
