I'm a big dick

Chapter 316 Huang Taiji is not simple, wait and see
Jiannu withdrew, a little suddenly.

Although the attack lasted for more than two hours, it took half a day.But it still surprised Zhang Pan, Kong Youde, and the defenders.

The first trench has been filled for more than 20 meters, and the Han soldiers also approached the wooden piles, and of course they were hit harder.

But Jiannu's main force didn't move out, and the defenders didn't use their full strength. They stopped suddenly, making people feel like they were flashed.

"What are you doing?" Kong Youde was not reconciled, he held up his binoculars to look around, and found that the enemy was really retreating, he couldn't help but cursed: "Huang Taiji is such a moron? We really overestimated him."

Zhang Pan pondered for a while, thinking for a while, but came to the opposite conclusion to Kong Youde.

"This Huang Taiji is not simple." Zhang Pan first stated his judgment, and when Kong Youde turned his eyes in surprise, he said slowly: "If you know what you can't do, don't do it, you can bend and stretch, make a decisive decision, and be more careful when you meet him in the future." .”

Kong Youde blinked his eyes, and although he didn't speak, he showed a little confusion, obviously he didn't understand Zhang Pan's conclusion.

Zhang Pan smiled and said: "Brother Kong still remembers a sentence that the professor said when he was studying martial arts, don't do what the enemy wants you to do, and work hard to do what the enemy doesn't want you to do."

Kong Youde thought for a moment, nodded vigorously, and said, "Although there is a slight discrepancy, that's what it means."

After a pause, Kong Youde seemed to have realized something, and said, "Old Zhang, you mean that Huang Taiji didn't continue to attack, but made a decision we didn't want, so he is a wise slave?"

Zhang Pan nodded, turned his eyes to the already silent battlefield, and said in a deep voice: "If Jiannu's fierce attack does not stop, it will hit us in the arms, and the result will only be more heavy casualties. But Huang Taiji did not do this, which not only surprised us , and reduced losses."

"If you retreat in a serious setback, you may be hunted down by our army." Kong Youde understood, and nodded slightly: "From this point of view, it is indeed a wise move. It is really amazing to mobilize a large number of troops to come and retreat decisively." Not an easy guy."

Zhang Pan looked into the distance, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said casually, "I heard that Huang Taiji loves reading very much, and treats the scholars who have surrendered well."

"The barbarians who love to read are better than Lao Kong!"

Kong Youde laughed, stretched out his hand to take out a small pipe, and smoked leisurely, amidst the curling smoke, said hesitantly: "If the general situation is like this, no matter how knowledgeable you are, you will be powerless."

Zhang Pan laughed and said: "If the general trend is like this, it is time for our generation to take advantage of the east wind to make achievements."

"This year we must attack the three guards in southern Liaoning." Kong Youde pointed forward and said loudly, "Liaodong counterattack should take Luda as the first."

.....................

The news of Jiannu's retreat quickly spread throughout Luda. The place wasn't too big, and in order to calm the hearts of the people, the army sent cavalry to notify.

"Ha, I'll just say there's no problem." A Tao picked up a stick, measured the cloth deftly, and showed Yingzi her foresight.

Yingzi wiped the shelves spotless, tidied them up neatly, stood on the small stool, turned her head and smiled and said, "You can tell by the transfer of the army. If none of them go up, it means it's not dangerous!"

The woman who bought the cloth looked at the two girls, she loved them very much, and said with a smile: "You two girls are the most outstanding, and they are not too young, did you say you kissed?"

A Tao chuckled, and said: "Don't bother you, we are engaged."

Yingzi smiled, knowing that A Tao disliked the woman's nagging, and talked nonsense about her engagement to gag her.

The woman did not show any disappointment, she nodded and said: "Such a good girl, she must find a husband's family. It's a pity that my second son is still in the army, so he doesn't have that blessing."

You are a soldier, no wonder you have money!

A Tao looked at the silver dollar that the woman took out, making guesses in her heart, and the smile on her face became more cordial.

The current military masters are no better than before, and they don’t dare to play tricks on the common people. There are military masters with the word "Xian" on their arms in charge!
Moreover, people shed blood and fight to keep this side safe, but it is really a credit.

As soon as A Tao finished finding the money, she heard the noise of people and horses outside, and said to the old woman quickly: "This is a new item in the store. Please sit down and wait a while to see if there is anything else suitable for you."

The old woman nodded with a smile, and sat down on the chair prepared in the store, liking this talking girl more and more in her heart.

In a short time, the goods were unloaded from the outside and moved in.The boss was directing, and Yingzi and A Tao also stepped forward to help.

They were all shipped from the mainland, and there were even goods from the south. Yingzi and A Tao were busy, and the vacant shelves were quickly filled, while the rest were moved into the warehouse.

The boss took the ledger, wrote down the price tags one by one, and ordered Yingzi and A Tao to post them.It's ready for sale.

The old lady looked at the products, and soon her eyes fell on a porcelain statue of Guanyin.

"Ma'am, do you want to buy this?" A Tao also noticed it, and hurriedly asked.

The old woman hurriedly waved her hands, "Don't dare to talk nonsense, that is Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves the suffering, if you want to say 'please'." "

Oh, A Tao quietly stuck out her tongue, she really didn't dare to talk nonsense.

After looking at the price, the old lady did not hesitate to pay and "please".Then he took it out of the store holding it preciously, and muttered, "Master Guanyin is the most effective, bless my son not to be hurt by swords and guns, and be safe."

Watching the old woman go away, A Tao couldn't help saying with some emotion: "Although being a soldier is rich, it's too dangerous."

The boss raised his head and smiled, and joked, "Then after Ping Liao, there will be no more wars, and soldiers will no longer be in danger."

How many years do you have to wait?A Tao blinked her eyes, ignoring the bad guy who had bargained with her on wages.

Yingzi stared at a sachet containing amulets on the shelf. The weaving was beautiful. I don't know where the girls are so skillful?

I should buy one, then ask for a safety talisman, and give it to him to wear.

I just don't know if as an employee, can I give it a little cheaper?Looking at the boss who picked up the abacus again, Yingzi hesitated.

Whether the employees can enjoy the internal preferential price is the mind of a rural woman.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao had just received an urgent and secret report from Mao Wenlong and Gou Zhenhuai, reporting the news of the North Korean coup d'état.

Although Mao Wenlong and Gou Zhenhuai were not sure about the orientation of the newly enthroned Korean king, they didn't even know much about the coup.

However, the two still expressed the same meaning, which is to use whether the North Korean king is "traveling slaves" as the basis and standard of action.

Zhu Youxiao also agrees with this, and understands Mao and Gou's worries.

Because, according to the feudal guidelines and righteousness, Li Zhen's coup was indeed a usurper of the throne and conspiracy of "using the minister to usurp the monarch, and using the nephew to abolish the uncle".

Lord Guanghai, Li Hun, is the legal king who has been canonized by the Ming court. Even if Li Hun is guilty, the correct procedure is for the concubine to report to the Ming court first, and then the Ming court decides to abolish him.

And Li Zhen replaced Li Hun without the permission of the Ming Dynasty. To put it bluntly, it was tantamount to challenging the authority of the Ming Dynasty.

If there is no slavery and rebellion now, Zhu Youxiao can "claim his crimes to punish the king and strengthen the king's gang" to show the authority of the suzerain state.

But Ping Liao is entering a critical period, and North Korea is a key part of the Quartet's arrangement, so it really can't be so hasty.

You must know that although North Korea's military strength is weak, it cannot pose a major threat to Jiannu.But it is very important for the success of the blockade and siege of the slaves.

After all, it is a country with millions of people, and it has a farming system that the slaves did not have.Although the food is not rich and the common people are poor, but if they really turn to the slaves, it can still alleviate the plight of the lack of materials for the slaves.

The law of the forest, as well as pragmatism, are the two major diplomatic laws that Zhu Youxiao must uphold.

Since the situation requires it, if Li Yu is close to Ming Qiunu, it is no big deal to recognize his throne.

As for the ministers in the court, there are some pedantic ones, but there are also many who can seek truth from facts and be flexible.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao ordered the palace people to call Sun Chengzong, Li Qiyuan, Bi Zisu and Tao Lang to the palace to have an audience first.

Say hello to your trusted officials first, or do some persuasion work, and wait until the news is confirmed, so you can have a response.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, this is not a big deal.Because North Korea has always been pro-Ming in history, it was not forced to surrender until it was invaded by Hou Jin twice on a large scale.

And North Korea was conquered by Hou Jin, and Daming also had to bear the unshirkable responsibility.As the boss, if he couldn't protect his younger brother, what face would he have to accuse him of being disloyal?
Now that he knew the outcome of the incident, Zhu Youxiao began to think about how to obtain greater benefits in this incident.

Zhu Youxiao has always looked down on North Korea's weak military power.But to improve the equipment and combat power of the North Korean army is another thing that makes him very entangled.

No permanent friends, only permanent interests.If Zhu Youxiao wants to say that he is completely at ease with North Korea, he can only say that his heart is too big.

But if you don't help the little brother, if the later Jin invades North Korea and plunders people and materials, it will not be so easy to rely on the Ming army to contain or resist it.

Zhu Youxiao circled the sand table several times, and finally focused on the mountains in northern North Korea.After thinking for a while, he came up with a general idea.

The North Korean army had a high rate of blunderbuss equipment, and also purchased a lot of muskets from Wa.But in terms of the output and quality of gunpowder, it is weak.

And Zhu Youxiao has no ambitions for North Korea. Since he doesn't want to annex it, he will help North Korea train a group of mountain musketeers.Taking advantage of the terrain that is not conducive to Jiannu, use guerrilla tactics to attack the invading Jiannu.

As long as Jiannu can be restrained and time is gained, the Ming armies in Liaoxi, Liaonan, and Dongjiang can be dispatched to attack Liaodong Jiannu, forcing the Jiannu who invaded North Korea to retreat without success.

It is even possible to stand still temporarily, and after the Jiannu who invaded North Korea penetrate deep, the Dongjiang Army will cut off their retreat, trap them to death and annihilate them in North Korea.

Thinking about it this way, Zhu Youxiao's thinking broadened again.For the improvement of North Korea's military power, there should be a limit to achieve the purpose of the Ming army.

For example, helping North Korea equip and train 2 people can not only restrain Jiannu, but also cannot completely resist it.

Zhu Youxiao had a plan in mind, so he was ready to submit it to martial arts research, and discussed it with Xiong Tingbi and Mao Wenlong.

But no matter what, the blacksmith has to be hard himself.

The Dongjiang Army is the closest to North Korea, whether to let Mao Wenlong lead troops into North Korea to "show righteousness", or to rescue North Korea and intercept Jiannu in the future, strength is fundamental.

Therefore, strengthening the weapons and equipment of the Dongjiang Army and enhancing the combat power of the Dongjiang Army are the prerequisites for solving all problems.

When Sun Chengzong and others arrived one after another and were called into the hall together, Zhu Youxiao told them the news of the North Korean coup and gave them a short consideration.

Combined with the situation of the Liaodong War, North Korea's internal affairs have become somewhat complicated.Sun Chengzong and others thought hard to find a good strategy.

"Long live." Li Qiyuan cupped his hands and played: "Although the finances have eased this year, it is barely enough for the two major wars between the North and the South."

Li Qiyuan didn't directly state his point of view, but his meaning was very clear, there would be unplanned military actions, such as raising troops to the DPRK, without money.

Tao Lang raised his eyebrows first, and said: "Long live, my minister thought that Li Jiruo was close to the Ming Dynasty to fight slaves. With his sect, if many subjects in the country turn to him, it is not impossible for the court to recognize him as the lord of the country."

Tao Lang is also a pragmatic approach first, let's see Li Zhen's performance.

If it is beneficial to Daming, based on Li Zhen's pedigree advantage, Daming can think that the coup d'état is not a Yi surname revolution, and not interfering will not be regarded as a breach of the suzerain's obligation.

Zhu Youxiao nodded, very satisfied with the speeches of these two cronies, he set his sights on Sun Chengzong and Su Zisu.

Sun Chengzong had made up his mind, and he cupped his hands and played: "Long live, if you want to ask the king's teacher for the crime, you will sail thousands of miles, and the victory or defeat is unpredictable; and the poor soldiers rush far away, it is beyond your power. If it is not necessary, I do not agree to send troops to ask the crime. "

After a pause, Sun Chengzong added: "Besides, there is no sign of Li Zhen's rebellion, and he has not lost the common courtesy of the king. Lightly wielding the sword, the teacher is also unknown."

Now that the land route to North Korea has been cut off, it is impossible to prevent the establishment of slaves and raise troops to the North with the Dongjiang Army alone.However, it is very risky to transport troops by sea, and the outcome is unpredictable.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and agreed.

Only Bi Zisu remained silent, and the Qingliu and Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate put the most emphasis on discipline, which is what Zhu Youxiao evaluated as pedantic.

Bi Zisu secretly sighed in his heart, if there were no slaves and rebellion, what kind of problem would the North Korean coup be?Without going through the suzerain state, abolishing the establishment without authorization, it is certain that it will be usurped, and there is no doubt that the crime will be punished and the king's gang will be revived.

But to do this now is to disregard the general situation and suspect that North Korea will be forced into the Houjin camp, which will destroy the entire plan of Ping Liao.

"My minister thinks it's better to wait and see." Bi Zisu bowed and said, "It's certainly not necessary to punish him for the crime of arbitrariness, so that he can stand up and take risks; nor can he avoid the honor of being a knight, so that he can make a fool of himself."

Zhu Youxiao let out a long breath, and the attitude of the ministers made him completely relieved.

He neither sent troops to inquire about his crimes, and forced Li Zhen to the opposite side; nor was he canonized rashly, so that he could easily gain legitimacy.It's not too late to make a decision when things are known in more detail.

Moreover, doing so can reap the greatest benefits.Not to let Li Zhen feel arrogance, but to maintain obedience to Daming.It can be sold at a high price to get more benefits from North Korea.
