Chapter 742 Everything is ready

For such an important matter, Zhong Jinwei had already considered it, so he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I think the sooner the better. It would be better to launch the Liaodong War when the sea thaws next year."

"Oh." Emperor Chongzhen responded, and then asked curiously: "Why is this?"

The decisive battle with Jianlu is obviously the most important event next year. Wen Tiren has great confidence in this report based on Zhongxinghou's past achievements. He listened to Zhong Jinwei's explanation of the Liaodong war and listened with great interest.

Speaking of things on the battlefield, Zhong Jinwei seemed a little serious, and did not smile as he discussed other issues: "According to the information provided by the Horqin tribe years ago, Jianlu's successive defeats led to major internal conflicts. Horqin

This is an example of the clan taking the initiative to seek refuge with the Ming Dynasty."

"Previously, the death camp had severely dealt with them once, and the Horqin tribe suffered heavy casualties. Generally speaking, with such great hatred, it is impossible to surrender to the enemy unless it is a matter of life and death, let alone unconditional surrender.

"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Daming was actually the father-killing enemy of the current leader of the Horqin tribe, and many tribesmen also died in the revenge of the death camp. Unless he was extremely unoptimistic about their future, he would definitely not do this. But right now

Because of this, Emperor Chongzhen reminded him with some worry: "Master Zhong, what if the Horqin tribe really surrendered on the orders of the slave chief? After all, the blood feud between the two sides is very deep."

When Wen Tiren heard Emperor Chongzhen's question, he interrupted and said: "Your Majesty, the grassland people respect the strong. Those who are not grudges can be abandoned in the face of absolute power."

Zhong Jinwei glanced at Wen Tiren and thought that the advantage of being older is rich experience, which was especially obvious in ancient times when transportation was inconvenient.

He followed Wen Tiren's words and agreed: "Many customs in the grasslands are unbelievable, but that's how they exist."

Then Zhong Jinwei answered Emperor Chongzhen's question from another perspective: "The Horqin tribe's reaction to the internal conflicts among the Jianbu is in line with the character of several slave chiefs known to me in my hometown."

When Wen Tiren heard this, he was a little unimpressed by this reason. He frowned and reminded Zhong Jinwei again: "Zhongxing Hou, the most deceptive lie is that 90% of it is true and 10% of it is false. You have to be careful!"

After hearing this, Zhong Jinwei smiled gratefully at Wen Tiren, and then said: "Don't worry, Mr. Wen, what you just said is only one aspect. In addition, the military information coming from Liaodong can also confirm it. I also sent a special force to verify it. Even so.

It's a fake surrender, and I'm prepared for it."

When Wen Tiren heard this, he nodded with confidence.

Seeing his action, Zhong Jinwei turned back to face Emperor Chongzhen and continued the previous topic: "Slave Chief Taiji is a capable man. If Ming Dynasty does not attack for a long time, I am afraid it will give him enough time to solve the problem.

There are internal conflicts among Jianlu. Therefore, taking advantage of his illness and killing him is a good way."

Emperor Chongzhen laughed when he heard this. He liked hearing this. But if he knew that in the original history, this was how Jianlu dealt with the Ming Dynasty, he probably wouldn't laugh.

Zhong Jinwei continued to explain: "In addition, the main force of our Ming Dynasty is composed of the New Army, Guanning and Denglai, among which the firearms force is the main force. What affects the firearms force the most is logistics, and the preparation of this logistics

, I have verified it with the Military and War Bureau, and it is enough to support this war."

Listening to Zhongxing Hou's comprehensive explanation, Wen Tiren knew that he had put a lot of thought into it. For Zhongxing Hou, the decisive battle with Jianlu had probably already begun. He was very pleased when he thought of this.

"The new fusiliers in Guan Ning and Denglai have been basically trained through small-scale scout battles under the leadership of veterans of the new army. I have been supervising the newly trained new army in the capital, and now they are also

They can meet my requirements for them. Before setting off for the expedition, your Majesty may wish to go on an inspection and see with your own eyes the situation of the newly formed army."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was quite happy and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay, I must go and see it."

Emperor Chongzhen really wanted to take this opportunity to leave the political affairs that he dealt with day after day and change places to get some fresh air.

"The final reason is naturally the vassal feudal affairs in North America and the domestic disasters. The earlier the Liaodong war needs to be carried out, the better." After Zhong Jinwei said this, he stopped talking and looked at Emperor Chongzhen, waiting for him to speak.

"Okay, Master Zhong has thought it through, I have no objection." Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied and agreed happily.

Wen Tiren was also unconsciously stroking his long beard under his forehead and looking at Hou Zhongxing with a smile.

When Zhong Jinwei saw that Emperor Chongzhen did not continue to speak, he raised his head and looked at the sky. He was thinking about his home and wanted to go back as soon as possible. He was the pillar of the Marquis's house, and he had to go back by himself for the whole family to be truly happy.

Suddenly, Zhong Jinwei thought of something, patted his head and said, "I almost forgot something."

Emperor Chongzhen originally wanted to let his right-hand man go back, but he didn't expect Zhong Jinwei to come suddenly. He couldn't help but asked curiously: "Master Zhong, did you almost forget something?"

"Your Majesty, if this war goes well, at least Shenyang will be captured. Then a large area of ​​land in Liaodong will be returned to the Ming Dynasty. This requires the imperial court to make arrangements early and send people to rebuild Liaodong."

Logically speaking, Wen Tiren should be the one to worry about this kind of civil affairs. But in their subconscious, they never thought that Liaodong would return to the Ming Dynasty so soon, so they did not think about it in this regard.

Now that Zhong Jinwei was reminding him, Emperor Chongzhen and Wen Tiren looked at each other, feeling a little ashamed that they had asked Marquis Zhongxing, who was focused on military affairs, to remind them.

Emperor Chongzhen immediately asked his chamberlain to bring a map of Liaodong, hung it on the screen, and then walked down and looked at the map with his two courtiers.

Zhong Jinwei drew a line on the map with his hand and signaled to them: "If the predetermined strategic goal is achieved, there will be no prisoners below this part."

Emperor Chongzhen and Wen Tiren took a look and found that the area was quite large, and they were filled with joy.

However, in this case, it is necessary to send officials to manage such a large area.

Emperor Chongzhen watched for a while and asked his two ministers: "Liaodong has just been recovered, and everything is in ruins waiting to be revitalized. Who do you think it would be better to send?"

The task of governing the newly recovered Liaodong is quite heavy. Most people do not have this ability.

But Zhong Jinwei happened to know that there was such a person, so he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I know a person, maybe it can be done."

Wen Tiren had already thought of someone at this time, and almost at the same time he reported to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I also have someone to recommend."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he looked at Zhong Jinwei, then at Wen Tiren, and suddenly said with great interest: "Don't talk about it yet, write it down on paper, and then show it to me."

Zhong Jinwei was speechless after hearing this. Could it be that Emperor Chongzhen recently watched "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?

He and Wen Tiren looked at each other and smiled, then they just wanted to play with Emperor Chongzhen for a while.
