Six hundred and ninetieth IX three-way attack Jianlu
Zhong Jinwei stayed in Haizhou City for less than three days before returning to the capital. This time, there was no Jianlu escort on the way back to Niuzhuangyi, so it seemed a bit "lonely" and the speed was much faster.
However, before Zhong Jinwei returned to the capital, he made a trip to Jinzhou to visit Yuan Keli, the governor of Liaodong.
At this time, Yuan Keli's cold was cured under the care of the imperial doctor. When he saw Marquis Zhongxing coming to visit, he hurriedly left the house to greet him.
He has been a close friend of Zhongxing Hou for a long time. Not only because Zhongxing Hou was rumored to be a god descended to earth, he was very attractive to those who believed in him, but Zhong Jinwei's record against Jianlu also made Yuan Keli admire him.
However, when he saw Zhong Jinwei, he was a little disappointed. He didn't see Zhong Jinwei's immortal spirit, and he felt like an ordinary person.
However, he soon discovered many differences in Zhong Jinwei, such as the names he addressed others, his attitude towards his subordinates, and his opinions on some things, which surprised Yuan Keli.
But Zhong Jinwei came to Yuan Keli not to chat with him. After he explained his purpose, Yuan Keli was shocked.
But after Zhong Jinwei gave him a detailed analysis, he supported Zhongxing Hou's decision.
After Zhong Jinwei received confirmation from Yuan Keli, he said goodbye to the extremely enthusiastic governor of Liaodong and hurried back to the capital.
As soon as he arrived in the capital, he handed over the order to Emperor Chongzhen and reported on his journey.
Emperor Chongzhen was very happy to hear that the trip to Liaodong went smoothly and that Jianlu had fled Haizhou. He sighed to Zhong Jinwei: "Master Zhong, now Jianlu is finally afraid."
Zhong Jinwei smiled, and then reported to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the current situation in the Ming Dynasty must speed up the feudal kings' feudal North America. And to speed up this pace, it is best to deal with the Jianqi as soon as possible and return peace to Liaodong. In this way, the road to Liaodong can be
If it is built as soon as possible, Vladivostok can be built as soon as possible.”
"I know, but the new army doesn't have enough numbers. We have to expand it to 20,000 people to attack Liaoyang." After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen became a little anxious and said with a slight complaint.
When Zhong Jinwei saw Emperor Chongzhen's uneasy look, he immediately smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I have a plan. I will spend one year preparing for a decisive battle with Jianlu next year, and at least seize Jianlu's puppet capital Shenyang."
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately sat up straight and asked energetically: "Master Zhong, are you really able to do this?"
After he asked the question, he immediately remembered what happened before and couldn't help but asked a little discouraged: "But the imperial court can't spend so much money to recruit enough new troops!"
Zhong Jinwei smiled and waved his hand, and said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, I know that we don't need so much money, but the planned 20,000 yuan for the reorganization of the new army will be enough."
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his eyes lit up and he immediately asked: "Really? There are a lot of prisoners!"
Zhong Jinwei stopped talking in circles with Emperor Chongzhen and explained directly: "Your Majesty, this is my idea. The 20,000 new troops will be reorganized into 10,000, and the remaining cost of 10,000 new troops will be used to equip the border troops."
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he frowned. He asked with some confusion: "Master Zhong, before the reorganization of the capital camp has been completed, you are going to reorganize the border army. Is this inconsistent with the original plan?"
When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he was a little speechless. He had to emphasize his tone and said: "Your Majesty, I am talking about equipping the frontier army, not reorganizing the frontier army."
Emperor Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed. He looked at Zhong Jinwei and asked: "Master Zhong, let me hear you finish your plan."
It should have been like this a long time ago, Zhong Jinwei said secretly in his heart, and then explained his plan to Emperor Chongzhen: "The cost of the new army mainly consists of two aspects, one is treatment, and the other is equipment. In order to have enough numbers to deal with Jian
The idea I came up with is to send the flintlock muskets to the border troops."
"The main purpose is to give it to the Denglai Ming Army and the Guan Ning Army, allowing them to select warriors who dare to fight, each with about 10,000 people, and equip them with flintlock rifles, but their salaries will not be increased to save costs. In this way,
Add in the 15,000 people who have been reorganized in the Beijing camp, and the number is almost the same."
"The New Army will then send veterans to Guanning and Denglai to train the border troops. After one year of training, it should be enough to form a strong army. That is to say, after next year, the main force of the New Army will set off from Haizhou.
The Denglai Ming Army set out from the Dandong area, while the Guanning Army set out from Jinzhou. The three armies, with firearms troops as the main force and cold weapon troops as the supplement, directly attacked the Jianlu puppet capital, forcing the Jianlu troops to fight a decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty."
Emperor Chongzhen listened to Zhong Jinwei's explanation while imagining in his mind the situation of three armies attacking Jianlu on the left, center and right.
After Zhong Jinwei finished speaking, Emperor Chongzhen asked with a hint of doubt: "Master Zhong, why don't you assemble the three groups to attack together to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Battle of Sarhu?"
When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he smiled and shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, this will be the same as the Battle of Sarhu! In that battle, not only did Jianlu be notified in advance so that Jianlu could be on guard, but he also had insufficient food and pay.
The soldiers are not doing their best and are too speechless."
"But now, under your Majesty's wise leadership. Your Majesty, I really think so. With complete food and pay, excellent weapons, single-minded soldiers, and the foundation for victory in many battles against the captives, the captives will surely be re-established."
.”
After hearing what Zhong Jinwei said, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart: Anyone with a little discernment can see that such a benign situation can occur in the Ming Dynasty, and it is entirely Zhong Jinwei who played a key role here.
If Zhong Jinwei hadn't traveled through thin air, it would have been more impossible than a dream for Ming Dynasty to have such a situation.
"Okay, Master Zhong, I will follow what you said. I will also pass the decree to Guan Ning and the Denglai border troops. As long as the sergeants can make great contributions in this battle, they will be transferred to the Beijing camp and enjoy the treatment of the Beijing camp.
." Emperor Chongzhen did not hesitate and agreed to Zhong Jinwei's proposal on the spot.
Of course, the soldiers he was referring to were those who were equipped with flintlock rifles but were treated like border troops.
Now, with Zhong Jinwei's suggestion and Emperor Chongzhen's approval, others will basically not speak against the enemy. Moreover, this time Zhong Jinwei made adjustments based on the money and food allocated to the new army to reorganize, and asked the cabinet and the Minister of Household Affairs to make adjustments.
No one else has anything to say.
Therefore, Zhong Jinwei quickly began to implement this idea. He sent Cao Bianjiao to lead a thousand new army veterans to Denglai to train the 10,000 Denglai Ming army selected by Lu Xiangsheng.
Zuo Liangyu was also sent to lead a thousand veterans of the new army to report to Sun Chengzong, the governor of Jiliao, and train the 10,000 Guanning Army selected by Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli.
As for the reorganization of the new army in the Beijing camp, Cao Wenzhao was responsible for it, while Zhong Jinwei himself focused on the feudal king's feudal North America.
