"What?" Emperor Chongzhen heard the news and said in surprise, "Li Dingguo has solved the three tribes in Mobei?"
In the original countermeasure, the cavalry led by Li Dingguo was to march westward to prevent Waci and Tsarist Russia from colluding together and posing a threat to the northwest of the Ming Dynasty. Unexpectedly, Li Dingguo not only sent back the news from the Western Regions, but also adapted to the situation and led the army
The soldiers raided the Khalkha Mongolia, which had already formed an alliance with Wasi, which was equivalent to solving the hidden danger in the north for the imperial court.
This was an unexpected surprise for Emperor Chongzhen!
The second assistant, Sun Chuanting, also had a rare smile on his face. He handed the memorial to Fang Zhenghua, the eunuch on duty, and at the same time replied to Emperor Chongzhen: "Although the leaders of the three tribes in Mobei escaped, they have lost their foundation, so there is nothing to worry about!
"
After a pause, he added: "And by moving the three tribes of Mobei to Guihua City, the imperial court will develop the Hetao Plain and have enough population. In addition, the imperial court will have at least 50,000 or 60,000 more cavalry. For next year
There will be enough troops available to sweep through eastern Mongolia or attack Liaodong!"
To form a cavalry army of 50,000 to 60,000 people, if you only rely on the pass, the price paid is definitely a huge number. However, for the cavalry army composed of Mongolian herdsmen, as long as the court pays military salaries and ordnance, it is similar to the court just paying
The cost of an infantry army can really be said to be a huge profit!
Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but burst out laughing, and immediately commented: "Yes, yes, we sent out more than 10,000 cavalry troops. Not only did we fight more and more, but we also gained the herds and population of the three Mobei tribes.
He is truly worthy of being a capable person who is known as the king of both worlds!"
"???" Sun Chuanting looked puzzled when he heard this, and asked with a question mark on his head, "Your Majesty, what is the famous king of the two tribes?"
"..." When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was immediately speechless. He was so happy that he made a mistake!
After coming back to his senses, he immediately asked seriously: "What I mean is that he beat away several big sweats in Mobei in one breath. That's pretty impressive."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head to read the memorial.
Sun Chuanting still couldn't understand Emperor Chongzhen's explanation.
His intuition told him that this explanation was nonsense.
However, the emperor is talking nonsense. As a minister, it is not a critical issue, and he has no way or in other words, no need to pursue the emperor and ask questions.
However, he had a feeling that Li Dingguo was indeed highly appreciated in the emperor's heart.
After Emperor Chongzhen read the memorial, he immediately raised his head and said: "The city of Guihua will be resettled first. If it can't be resettled anymore, it will be moved south to northern Shaanxi. Then it will be resettled along the Xuanda line. After this winter, it will be moved back to the Hetao Plain."
After a pause, he added: "Send a decree to Governor Xuanda and Governor Yansui, asking the local cement factory to speed up the construction of houses with coal-heated kangs. As for the rewards for military achievements, they will wait until Li Dingguo returns.
Let’s formally report victory!”
Naturally, Sun Chuanting had no objection to this. He sent this memorial because he still had something to do with Emperor Chongzhen.
No, I heard him report to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the governor of Yunnan is reporting again, saying that Dongwu is asking for surrender, and is willing to sacrifice Li Zicheng and other bandits, so that the Ming Dynasty will be respected forever!"
On Dongwu's side, the Ming border troops were hoarded at the border, showing off their arms at every turn, forcing Dongwu to mobilize the entire country's forces to contend. After a long time, even if there was no fighting, it would still be too much.
King Talong of Dongwu had been recuperating and recuperating for many years, and the food and supplies he had accumulated were quickly consumed. This made King Talong realize that he could not go on like this, so he asked for surrender again.
After Sun Chuanting finished speaking, he saw that Emperor Chongzhen did not speak immediately, so he spoke again: "Next year, the focus of the imperial court will still be on eastern Mongolia, Liaodong and North Korea. As for the southwest, Dongwu has been convinced, so it is better to settle Dongwu's matter.
, deploying troops to Guangxi, which can be used to recover Annan."
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately shook his head and said: "Send a message to Yunnan. Unless King Long is willing to accept the title of the imperial court and move to the capital to enjoy the glory and wealth, and Dongwu returns to Daming Dongwu Province, there is no need to discuss anything!"
The implication is that I still don’t agree and I must capture Togo.
After hearing this, Sun Chuanting frowned slightly and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Long will definitely not accept these conditions."
"If you don't accept it, you won't accept it. Anyway, I have to decide Dongwu!" Emperor Chongzhen heard this and said nonchalantly, "As for Annan, I have other arrangements. Maybe I can take it back without fighting!"
Sun Chuanting was a little curious after hearing this, and when he was about to ask for more information, he heard Emperor Chongzhen say to him first: "Sun Qing, please prepare to rectify the newly attached prairie cavalry first!"
This time it is estimated that 50,000 to 60,000 Mongolian cavalry will join us. They need to be registered, troops allocated, equipped, and trained. There are indeed many things to do.
After hearing this, Sun Chuanting had no choice but to at least ignore everything else and agreed.
After he left, Emperor Chongzhen contacted Liu Weichao and told Li Dingguo about the Battle of Mobei, and then said with emotion: "It is gold, and it will shine after all. I originally thought that changing history would also change him."
.Unexpectedly, he proved himself in another way."
Li Dingguo's title was partly due to luck. He picked up Aixinjuero Azige. The other half was granted by Emperor Chongzhen for Li Dingguo's historical loyalty to the Ming Dynasty. After all, this title was given with emotion.
points, rather than truly showing Li Dingguo's ability.
Unexpectedly, Li Dingguo's performance on the grassland gave Emperor Chongzhen an unexpected surprise.
In the Battle of Mobei, there was no bitter or hard battle. There was not much loss, but the profits were so huge. Such a war was definitely not something that ordinary generals could do.
Assessing the situation and adapting to circumstances are indispensable!
After hearing this, Liu Weichao also smiled and said: "In the final analysis, he can achieve such a miracle because of your support. If it weren't for the grassland strategy you gave, and if you weren't able to settle so many herdsmen, he would be
It’s impossible to behave like this.”
Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was very pleased and said to Liu Weichao: "To put it this way, this credit is also yours. If you hadn't helped me click on the technology tree, my productivity has been greatly improved.
It would be impossible to have so much supplies, and we would not have the confidence to come up with this grassland strategy. By the way, even this strategy of converting livestock to rural areas was actually your suggestion."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh: "You have really helped me a lot!"
Liu Weichao also laughed after hearing this.
After a while, he said: "Okay, we don't need to praise each other anymore! That's right!"
Having said this, Liu Weichao paused and said: "I thought about it, I will get married during the Chinese New Year, what gift would you give me the best!"
"What gift?" Emperor Chongzhen had been struggling with this matter and was very troubled. When he heard his words, he was overjoyed and asked quickly, "Hurry up and see if I can do it.
?”
After hearing this, Liu Weichao smiled and said to him: "I hope that when I get married, I can get the blessings of you and all your celebrities in the late Ming Dynasty."
At this point, he realized that he had made a mistake, so he quickly changed his words and said: "I just hope to get the blessings of famous people of your era. As for the list, I will give you one, what do you think?"
Liu Weichao thought about it. When he got married, Emperor Chongzhen, Empress Zhou, Concubine Tian Guifei, Chen Yuanyuan, Qin Liangyu, Sun Chuanting, Zhou Yuji, etc., if he could get their blessings, then this gift would definitely be unique!
Emperor Chongzhen was a little surprised when he heard this. After he came to his senses, he was very excited and said immediately: "Okay, this is no problem. If you give me a list, if you are far away, I will send a fast horse, eight hundred
Riga urgently summons them back!"
"..." Liu Weichao was a little speechless upon hearing this, and immediately said a little embarrassedly, "It's not necessary to use eight hundred miles to rush! It's too exaggerated!"
Eight Hundred Miles Express is the highest level of communication method. Unless the matter is really urgent, Eight Hundred Miles Express will be used.
According to Liu Weichao's knowledge, in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen's reign, Emperor Chongzhen used 800 miles to rush to deliver an order to those celebrities to save the nation.
But now, it's just that he got married, so he rushed eight hundred miles, and then those famous celebrities in the late Ming Dynasty rushed to the capital as hard as they could, just to give themselves a wedding blessing?
Just thinking about it, I feel a little embarrassed!
But who would have thought that Emperor Chongzhen said very seriously after hearing this: "Why is it not necessary? This is one of the most important things in your life! As far as your contribution to the Ming Dynasty is concerned, I will go to heaven to pick the stars.
It’s as it should be!”
If it weren't for Liu Weichao, his bones would be cold at this time, his wife and children would all be dead, and his country would be over! Everything currently would no longer exist.
Not only him, but also the famous ministers and generals have also experienced scenes of tragedies. They have either died in battle or are about to die in battle. It is unknown how many millions more people will die in the Ming Dynasty!
And all of this changed because of Liu Weichao. For such a great feat, it was just to rush them back to the capital in eight hundred miles and give Liu Weichao a wedding blessing. If you don't even do this, you would be really sorry for Liu Weichao!
When Emperor Chongzhen was thinking this, Liu Weichao was still there and said: "But some of them are in important positions, and it's not a big deal for the Mu Shou side. Why don't we let them come back?"
Emperor Chongzhen heard this and said without hesitation: "Then let their deputy take charge first! For me, and for Ming Dynasty, it is a big deal to give you a wedding blessing!"
At this point, he continued in a tone that could not be refuted: "Okay, that's it! Stop being so long and give me a list!"
