I'm a big dick

Chapter 326
The disabled are supported, and the dead are compensated.It also makes your family members not suffer from cold and hunger, and can live without worry because of your loyalty and bravery for the country.

For a country, no matter whether it is rich or poor, it is wise to allocate limited resources to soldiers.That is a solid pillar to ensure resistance to foreign aggression, domestic stability, and governance.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't understand why the Ming army was treated so poorly in history, even worse than ordinary people, and not much better than beggars.

The soldiers of the Ming army couldn't even eat enough to eat, let alone support their families. How could they be required to fight bravely?How can they be forced to shroud their bodies in horse leather and be loyal to the country?
For the emperors in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao can only use the word "stupid" to describe them.This "stupid" does not mean really stupid, but short-sighted, and there is no long-term vision for the country and the people.

As far as engaging in political conspiracy, even Chongzhen, the king of subjugation, has a few tricks.But it was this power that murdered Daming, pulling one to suppress that, picking out officials to fight among themselves, and the emperor balanced it out, isn't it very clever?

Eyelids just stared at the court, content to maintain the emperor's power.But the army is finished, what power does the emperor still have?
It is not very accurate to say that Zhu Youxiao is engaged in the politics of the first army.But at least he knows that the army is the foundation of a strong and stable country.Neiping rebellion, um, we still have to put down the rebellion, and the founding of slaves and rebellion is obviously a civil rebellion.

Zhu Youxiao didn't always hold that "under a heavy reward, there must be a brave man", but if you want the horse to run fast, you have to feed the horse. Isn't it difficult to understand this truth?
Wu Yougui was just one of the many Ming soldiers who were disabled due to injuries, but it was the treatment that many ordinary soldiers received that was seen by thousands of Ming soldiers.

As the imperial court said, it must be true that the original preferential treatment standards were not only firmly followed, but even continued to improve the standards.

To put it bluntly, these special care policies are to allow soldiers to work hard with peace of mind.

But since he became a soldier, disability and death are inevitable.The usual military salary has never been short of you, right? The preferential treatment policy can make you feel at ease?

If you are greedy for life and afraid of death on the battlefield, you deserve to be chopped off by the military judge on the spot.If you are lucky enough to survive, you will be punished by military law. As for special care and family members, all of them will be ruined, which one do you think is suitable?
In fact, it is very simple to make soldiers work hard, just two words of "reward and punishment".

Zhu Youxiao has never treated military rewards badly, and has never been in arrears.It is not ambiguous to withdraw money, and it is not polite to steal money from the family. The emperor's actions are not only to make the soldiers grateful, but also a kind of deterrence.

Don't try to fool the emperor, Long Live is smart and ruthless.Of course, it is the cruelty and ruthlessness in punishing lawless officials.The emperor was very generous to good officials who obeyed the law and served the country and the people.

Officials, both civil and military, who can feel the grace of the emperor, are actually mostly generals. Who makes the country's focus now be on fighting!
Kong Youde touched the small pipe, then withdrew his hand, took out a small iron box that could be opened and closed from his pocket, opened it, took out a cigarette from it, and handed it to Yang Jie.

Yang Jie still smiled, waved his hands, and said, "General Kong, please go ahead, a certain family doesn't like this."

The tin box of cigarettes has been on sale in Luda for less than ten days, and the price is quite expensive.A high-ranking officer like Kong Youde could afford it, but he didn't dare to spend all his money, and usually smoked more pipes.

Seeing Yang Jie's refusal, Kong Youde couldn't take back his pipe, so he put on the cigarette holder, lit it, took a puff, and asked politely: "Yang Qianhu, you suddenly suggested that we wait for the troops to rectify, is there any major action to be taken?"

Yang Jie pondered for a moment, didn't speak, but nodded vigorously.

Kong Youde was smoking a cigarette, and looked at Zhang Pan and Dengzhen General Zhang Bang who was in charge of guarding Lushun.

In his opinion, Yang Jie is just a suggestion, not an order, and what will happen depends on whether the three of them agree.

And his tendency is to follow the advice, Yang Jie must have a big secret that he can't reveal clearly, big actions are very tempting to him.

Zhang Pan pondered for a while, and said, "It's just a small-scale harassment at the moment, it doesn't matter if it stops."

Zhang Bang is responsible for supporting the battle in southern Liaoning. He has been staying at Luda, and he can be regarded as a guest general.Therefore, he felt that it was not his turn to express his opinion on this matter, so he looked at Kong Youde.

Kong Youde nodded and said: "I agree with General Zhang and listen to Yang Qianhu."

Only then did Zhang Bang say: "Someone is a guest general, so naturally the guest does as he pleases."

Yang Jie chuckled, got up and cupped his hands, and said: "Then please prepare for the generals, both water and land are possible. I will take my leave first."

The three of them got up and saw each other off. After a short time, they went back to sit down and discuss.

"Yang Jie's suggestion this time is a bit abnormal." Zhang Pan first expressed doubts, "According to his authority, he should not interfere with military command."

Kong Youde took out a small pipe, filled another pot, and said slowly: "Because of this, a certain person feels that this operation is very important. He didn't say it clearly, and it's also because he has the difficulty of not interfering with military command."

Zhang Bang didn't know Yang Jie very well, so he said, "Anyway, it's no fun to make small troubles. Stop for a while and come up with a big one. Someone thinks it's good."

Kong Youde laughed, and said: "What you said has reached my heart, you just want to do something big to enjoy yourself!"

Zhang Pan smiled, stroked his chin and lost himself in thought.

If it is a large-scale operation, it is likely that the Liaonan Sanwei will involve the brigade Daming Army.If so, Zhang Pan is also very excited.

.........................
At this time, Yang Jie's secret memorial was rushed to the capital and submitted to Zhu Youxiao's imperial case.

Seeing Yang Jie's name on the secret memorial, Zhu Youxiao had a premonition.After reading it, Principal Zhu let out a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, it is still here, the best time to recover the three guards in southern Liaoning.In history, because Liu Aita was suspected of treason, Nurhachi slaughtered more than [-] Liao people in the three guards, and abandoned the three guards.

Although this has a similar result to the restoration of Sanwei, Zhu Youxiao has already grasped the opportunity, so how can he be satisfied with this?
Even if you are not very familiar with history, a sensible person will feel that it is too risky to read Liu Aita's letters.

From Liu Aita's point of view, it is natural to hope that the greater the credit, the better.Because, only great merit can be valued by the Ming court, and can be more secure for yourself and your family.

It was precisely because Liu Aita's appetite was so great that he wanted to surrender with three guards, and Zhu Youxiao knew immediately that it was not feasible.

If only Fuzhou, where Liu Aita is in charge, comes to surrender, this is of course the minimum requirement.Because there are fewer people involved, the possibility of leaking secrets is also small, and the hope of success is great.

How many people will be involved if there are three guards in series, who can guarantee that there will be no traitors and scum to inform?

It is no wonder that the failure in history anyway caused the death of 10,000+ Liao people in vain.

Zhu Youxiao tapped his fingers lightly. Although he understood Liu Aita's worry, he didn't feel greedy.Fuzhou Wei is good, the other two guards, let the Ming army recover!
Perhaps, if the various military towns act in concert, they can deal a heavy blow to Jiannu and speed up their defeat.

But now the key is how to make Liu Aita feel at ease. This has to be controlled to a certain degree, coldness is not enough, but being too enthusiastic will scare people.

And, anyway, the sooner the better.Zhu Youxiao agrees with the idiom "Night Chang Meng Duo".

The proof Liu Aita wanted was not too much, and the person who directly contacted Yuan Keli, the governor of Dengzhen, was just to avoid death and get a ticket.

But Liu Aita never dreamed that his letter would be submitted to the emperor anyway, and the decision would be made directly by the emperor.

Zhu Youxiao thought for a long time, and wrote a reply to Yang Jie.Of course, it was also for Liu Aita's emissary Jin Shengkui to see.

"...If you can return to the Ming Dynasty after death, you will not lose the style of Li Xianzhong in the Song Dynasty. The current situation is obedient and obedient, and good or bad can be judged. Liu Aita is not a schemer. I hope he should be carefully scrutinized. Cause blood to stain the head of the blade..."

After writing the reply, Zhu Youxiao reviewed it again and again, and felt that there was hope but not too much, and threats were appropriate, so he wrote a death-free ticket by hand, but did not give a ticket for title.

The death-free ticket was written by the emperor himself, and Yuan Keli paid it himself, the weight is quite different, and of course it is more trustworthy.

As for the title ticket, Zhu Youxiao did not make Liu Aita happy.To be precise, he left an introduction in his reply, and made a decision based on Liu Aita's contribution and ability.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, this has already reassured Liu Aita.Grace is too great, but it is easy to make people doubt, so generous, is it not a lie?
If it is Yuan Keli, the governor of Dengzhou, he can give both the death-free ticket and the title card ticket, but the combined weight is not as good as the emperor's words.

If a major event is to be achieved, a person who can coordinate the overall situation and make decisions on the fly is needed to direct it nearby.

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a long time, and then wrote a letter to Teacher Yuan.

Yuan Keli sits in Dengzhou, controls Dengzhen and Dongjiang Town, and has power. He can not only directly command the two towns, but also has a long-term vision and great strategy. He is most suitable for completing this task.

Zhu Youxiao explained the whole story clearly, and was afraid that Yuan Keli would not believe Liu Aita's anyway, so he made up a senior undercover agent in Houjin, knowing that Liu Aita's heart was very strong anyway, so he could trust him.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao also informed him of all his plans, and asked Teacher Yuan to act as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams and miss good opportunities.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao introduced Yang Jie to Yuan Keli, recommended Yang Jie to be in charge of directly contacting Liu Aita, and established a one-line connection with Yuan Keli.

After such an arrangement, Zhu Youxiao felt that great things could be accomplished.When he put down the pen, he couldn't help letting out a long breath.

Restoring the three or two guards in southern Liaodong brought the most affluent areas in eastern Liaodong back to the control of the Ming Dynasty, and cut off most of the food supply of the Later Jin Dynasty.

Hmph, Houjin's famine is coming sooner.As for Daming, the worst period has not yet come.

In comparison between the two, Zhu Youxiao has already firmly believed that the five-year flat Liao Dynasty is not a dream.

……………….Divider…………………

Daling River City.

Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong, stood on a high slope outside the city, watching the city defense.After a long time, he put down the binoculars and nodded slightly to express his approval.

Although Jiannu took forbearance and did not send troops to destroy the plan of the Ming army to advance to the city, this also disappointed Xiong Tingbi and the generals.

The new type of artillery has arrived, and the criss-cross trenches have been completed in a hurry, just waiting for Jiannu to hit him and beat him to death!

If Jiannu is defeated again, Xiong Tingbi is ready to take advantage of the victory and advance again. He will establish a base in Youtunwei and even Guangning to advance the battle line to Liaohe.

Now, the old bear thinks that it is not too hasty.

Jiannu's strength is still there, and his intention to wait and see is also obvious. The Ming army's supply line is stretched, creating more opportunities for counterattacks.

"You Tunwei—" Xiong Tingbi pondered for a while, glanced at the generals, and said: "Only send cavalry forward, and don't send infantry to guard for now."

He Kegang, Jin Guofeng and the others were a little surprised. Dalinghe City and Jinzhou had already been stabilized. Could it be that they were passively waiting for Jiannu to attack like Ning Yuan?

The cavalry marching forward would of course put some pressure on Jiannu.But Jiannu, who relied on riding and shooting, probably wouldn't care too much.In fact, the cavalry of the Ming army does not have the strength to challenge Jiannu head-on.

Zhu Mei thought for a moment, then cupped her hands and said, "My lord, are you worried about the supply of supplies? The general thought that it would be easier to transport supplies if you guard the sea near the sea. If the defense speed of the Daling River is used, three to five thousand troops will be enough in ten days at most." Completed, Jiannu may not have time to activate."

Seeing the look in the eyes of the generals, Xiong Tingbi knew that they almost agreed with Zhu Mei's statement, so he shook his head slightly.

Moving forward requires not only food and supplies, but also weapons and artillery.And in the secret memorial, Xiong Tingbi already knew that within at least two months, weapons and equipment would be tilted towards Dongjiang Town, and not many could take over Liao Town.

In this regard, Xiong Tingbi didn't have much complaints.If you want to say that a bowl of water is flat, what about the emperor giving priority to supplying Liaozhen?
The supply of weapons and artillery is determined according to the actions to be taken by each military town. Liao Town has to advance to Jinzhou and Daling River to obtain the largest supply.

Now, it's time for Dongjiang Town to launch a military operation to harass Jiannu. Naturally, more and more powerful weapons and equipment are needed.

After waving his hand, Xiong Tingbi didn't dare to tell the generals all the things in the secret report, and said slowly: "The supply of materials is not the main problem, and it is inconvenient to tell you the details at the moment, you just need to carry out."

The generals bowed to their orders, knowing that there were some things that should not be asked, nor should they be known.

"Just don't move forward for the time being." Xiong Tingbi didn't want to dampen the enthusiasm of the generals, and added with a smile: "Strengthen your troops and step up your training. Maybe in three to five months, Liaozhen will directly recover Guangning!"

The recovery of Guangning means that the retreat strategy of more than a year has come to an end, and it has returned to the point of direct confrontation with Jiannu.

Only across the Liaohe River, the enemy and us can contact each other at any time. Such a situation is the real test.

"It's a pity that Guangning City was demolished by Jianshou." He Kegang knew the information sent by the sentry, and said with some regret: "Besides, the city is very large, and the construction of fortifications may not be completed in a short time."

Zhu Mei smiled and said: "Could it be that our army can only rely on the city or fortifications, and dare not confront Jiannu head-on?"

Jin Guofeng hurriedly explained for He Kegang: "I am not afraid of building slaves in a head-on confrontation, but the casualties will be great. And building fortifications can ensure the safety of materials."

Xiong Tingbi pursed his lips slightly, resisting the fact that the emperor will send flying cavalry from the Beijing camp to aid Liaodong in a few months, and he wants to fight Jiannu head-on!
