I'm a big dick

Chapter 378 Untitled
The food and salary are adjusted by the court on time and according to the amount. Officers can no longer serve without martial arts background. From soldiers to generals, I am grateful for the kindness of the court and the emperor, not by you Mao Wenlong.

Although Zhu Youxiao didn't like this sentence very much, he also knew that without money and food, he couldn't afford to support the army.If you hold money and food, you can firmly control the army.

Take Zuo Liangyu in the late Ming Dynasty as an example, because he condoned the soldiers' looting, and even dared to take away all the money from the treasury government when the court could not pay the soldiers.

In the chaotic period at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zuo Liangyu could have an army of hundreds of thousands because of the money he had robbed to feed the soldiers.

Therefore, Mao Wenlong knew very well that Dongjiang Town's current scale and combat power were all built by the court and emperor with money, food, weapons and equipment, and he was not an indispensable figure in Dongjiang Town.

Not only Mao Wenlong understands the truth, but also the generals of other military towns.The emperor and the court don't give you the chance to act wildly, and there is no domineering environment.

Supervision is interlocking, firmly grasping the two key points of food and military law, neither interfering with the military command of the top general, but not giving him the power to act arbitrarily.

As for promotion and rewards, the emperor was not stingy.With a bright future ahead, who's head was kicked by a donkey and dared to seek death?

Besides, this is the feudal era, this is the feudal era where imperial power is supreme.Not to mention Zhu Youxiao, it was the Chongzhen period at the end of the dynasty, how many domineering generals who resisted the order and did not obey?
Of course, Zhu Youxiao thought he did it right.I will not betray you, and you should not betray me either.Otherwise, my Shangfang sword will show no mercy.

Mao Wenlong's official promotion was rewarded, and he felt happy in his heart.The emperor's trust is something he can be sure of, and this can be shown in the usual secret music.But the emperor also gave warnings from time to time to keep him from being presumptuous.

Although it was just a taste, but there were so many people, he drank it one sip at a time, and when the wine was over, Mao Wenlong also felt a little bit drunk.

Back at the residence, Mao Wenlong just wanted to rest for a while, so he wrote the secret performance in his own hand.In addition to Shane, there is also his battle plan.

Huang Taiji was taken down as the banner owner, and Azige was in charge of the Zhengbai Banner. This information had already been found out, even the emperor knew about it.

Among Nurhachi's nephews, the one with real power second only to the Big Four is the Fourth Younger Baylor.

According to the ranking, they are the big beile Azig, the second beile Dorgon, and the third beile duo, all of whom are concubines Abahai; the fourth beile is Jierharang, the sixth son of Nurhachi's younger brother Shuerhaqi .

From the point of view of closeness, sons are obviously closer than nephews, and the three Azig brothers are very popular with Nurhachi, and they naturally overwhelm Jierhalang.

As for the original four major Baylors, Mang Gurtai became disabled, Dai Shan suffered a coughing injury, Huang Taiji was seized from power, and Amin was even worse.

It can be seen that the four big Baylors are either dead or disabled, or deprived of power, and the four small Baylors tend to replace them.The only obstacle is their age.

Jierhalang is the oldest, 25 years old; Azig is next, 19 years old; Dorgon is [-] years old, and Duoduo is only [-] years old.

From this point of view, among the four young Baylors, only Jierharang and Azig can barely provoke the leader.And only Azig led the white flag, and he was truly entrusted with a heavy responsibility.

For Nurhachi, this is an opportunity to train his son; for Dongjiang Headquarters, it is an opportunity to rebuild slaves.

It is true that Azig is brave and good at fighting, but according to the analysis of various intelligences, he is a simple-minded, rude and reckless guy.

There is also a bordered white flag in Jianzhou, led by Du Du.It may be because Du Du was the son of Chu Ying who was executed, and the inlaid white flag he led was the weakest, with only fifteen Niulu.

After such an analysis, Mao Wenlong and the generals believed that Azig must be the main enemy of the two banners in Jianzhou.Although Du Du is old, he is only a nephew, and he has already fallen behind psychologically.

According to Azig's character, it is easier to fall for it.Whether to lure or provoke, it is still very possible to find a chance to severely injure Zhengbai Qi.

The plan made by Mao Wenlong and the generals is for this purpose, to seize Azig's character flaws and deal with him like Amin.

Liaozhen captured Baylor alive, and defeated Jiannu Jingqi in the field. Such achievements are very impressive.Mao Wenlong and other Dongjiang generals were envious, but also held their breath to save face, and Azig was a good target.

Mao Wenlong drank tea to sober up, thinking about the wording of the melody and whether the battle plan was perfect.At this time, the soldiers came to report, and Mr. Shen came to congratulate him.

This old father-in-law - Mao Wenlong shook his head helplessly, guessing that he was urged to send troops to occupy more territory, especially Kuandian, where ginseng is produced.

Helpless is helpless, hindering the relationship between Weng and his son-in-law, Mao Wenlong still got up and made a gesture of greeting.

"Congratulations, Marshal, congratulations to Marshal." Shen Shikui entered the house, and bowed his hands in salute, showing no airs of being a father-in-law.

After Mao Wenlong returned the gift, he asked the old father-in-law to sit down, and said with emotion: "It's all due to my dedication to my duty and my daring not to go too far. Long live a wise minister, I must work hard and serve you faithfully."

The words are quite clear, your son-in-law has a great future, don't be ruined by your messy things.

After a pause, Mao Wenlong went on to say: "A certain salary is not too small. After Ping Liao, the imperial court will also distribute merits. There is absolutely no problem in life. Money is something outside of the body, and it is useless to have too much."

We have enough money to spend, compared with the official title, you still can't tell the importance?Don't get into the eyes of money and make trouble for your son-in-law.

Shen Shikui understood what he heard, nodded vigorously, and said: "What the commander said is absolutely true. The victory of Ping Liao is already in sight, and the commander-in-chief's appointment as a marquis and general is also close at hand."

Mao Wenlong hurriedly waved his hand. He talked too much, as if Pingliao was only in the middle of the day and was about to be completed.

"The shortest is one year." Mao Wenlong stretched out a finger and emphasized: "Two years is fine, three years is okay, four or five years is not satisfactory."

The emperor's five-year flat Liao thoughts were reflected in the secret memorial, how could Mao Wenlong not know.

Therefore, being able to complete the task ahead of time is naturally Longyan Joy, and that is called credit.If it is delayed, or just meets expectations, the effect will naturally be greatly reduced.

In Mao Wenlong's vision, one and a half years should be able to achieve the goal.It may not be very complete, that is, the Jiannu cannot be completely wiped out, but it will also turn the disabled into a small tribe without any threat.

And from now until next year's winter and spring counterattack, it will take almost half a year.On the one hand, it is necessary to attack piecemeal and see the opportunity to severely damage Azig and his Zhengbai flag; on the other hand, it is to hoard supplies and train soldiers.

When they come back from the interview with Sheng Sheng in Beijing, they will prepare for a big counterattack in full swing.Before that, don't let the emperor be dissatisfied. If you change generals just before the battle, Ping Liao's great contribution will not be his share.

Mao Wenlong's pursuit of being a marquis and general is to increase his official rank and promote him to a noble rank. Money has already been ranked behind, and it may even become an obstacle to his bright future.After all, everyone can see clearly how much the emperor hates corrupt people.

Shen Shikui also knew what this son-in-law wanted most. The imperial court was cracking down on collusion between officials and businessmen. He resold Liaodong treasures such as ginseng and mink fur.

Hearing what his son-in-law said, Shen Shikui nodded again and again, and said: "The commander-in-chief is loyal to the court and the country, I know that. This time when I return to the island, it is just in time for the court to reward me, so I am here to congratulate you."

After a pause, Shen Shikui immediately added: "In addition, a certain has set up a shop in Qingdao, and I am afraid that he will stay for a long time in the future, and he will not be able to return to the island often."

Mao Wenlong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the old father-in-law to say goodbye.

Shen Shikui smiled and said: "It's not that Liaodong is not good, and Pidao is not good, but compared with Qingdao, it is indeed far inferior. I even went to Shanghai and Nanjing for a walk, which opened my eyes, really opened my eyes."

Mao Wenlong felt relieved, nodded with a smile, and said, "Shanghai is the base of maritime merchants, Nanjing is the capital of the capital, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and the remote Phi Island can't compare."

Shen Shikui said: "Someone visited Boss Li and Boss Yan of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce, and took a road of shipping. Ship goods from Shanghai to Tianjin, and then sell goods from Liaodong to Qingdao or Shanghai. If you don't run away twice, even There is a profit."

Mao Wenlong blinked his eyes, thinking that his father-in-law must have borrowed his name, and the Maritime Chamber of Commerce gave him face and gave up a business route.

What he didn't know was that the Maritime Chamber of Commerce had already set the direction of development for the next stage, mainly to the south. The first overseas base was the Mekong Delta where the emperor would send navy to occupy.

Li Dan and Yan Siqi's sense of smell is extremely sensitive. While dispatching sea ships to help the navy transport troops and food, they are also aware of the emperor's intention to expand to Southeast Asia.

The trade routes of Japan, North Korea, and Ryukyu have been well established, but Nanyang is somewhat weak.As for the short-sea transportation in the north, they don't pay much attention to it.

The current chai stick is just a small fishing village called "Puliango", surrounded by swamps.Because of the dense water network, this area is also called "Water Chenla".

And Chenla is the Angkor dynasty that emerged from the 9th century to the 15th century, also known as the Khmer Empire, but it is now weakened, and Angkor was captured by Siam, and the capital was forced to move to Phnom Penh.Since then, it has been called Cambodia in Chinese history books.

Not only was he bullied by Siam, but the little Champa also beat Chenla from time to time.

In the third year of Apocalypse, the King of Cambodia reluctantly allowed Vietnamese refugees to enter Priango to escape the civil war between the Northern Zheng Dynasty and the Southern Nguyen Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties of Vietnam.

Why do you say it is helpless, because the weakened Kingdom of Cambodia simply cannot withstand the increasing wave of refugees.

In another five or sixty years, there will be more and more Vietnamese refugees, and the king of Cambodia will not be able to control it, and Priango will become a part of Vietnam.Nam Nguyen sent an aristocrat to rule, and Priango has since been called Saigon.

See, even refugees can occupy, let alone the navy army of the Ming Dynasty?

Li Dan and Yan Siqi are optimistic about the important location of this place, coupled with the good relationship between the Ming court and Siam, wouldn't it be worrying about the ports of call along the coast of Nanyang?

If the Ming court could send naval divisions, the Nanyang sea route would be safer, the development of commerce would be greatly promoted, and maritime merchants would also make a lot of money.

Li Dan and Yan Siqi admired the emperor's vision.If you don't make a move, it's enough, and if you make a move, it's the right time.

As far as they know, Priango is north of Champa, which is suppressed by Nan Ruan.If the Ming army occupied Chaigun, nine out of ten they would seek the support of the suzerain to resist Nanruan's invasion and invasion.

In other words, it should be an excellent opportunity to send troops to occupy now, with the least resistance, and great benefits can be obtained without a large battle.

As for the Chenla and Vietnamese refugees, without too many troops, 3000 people are enough to keep them honest.

Of course, Shen Shikui was unaware of these calculations.He just contracted a sea transportation, buying and selling.

Hearing that the father-in-law will live in Qingdao permanently, Mao Wenlong felt relieved.Although Liaodong's ginseng mink fur still has to be purchased and resold, it has little to do with him, so he is not too worried about affecting his future.

After inquiring and chatting for a while, Mao Wenlong asked someone to fetch two hundred silver coins and gave them to the old man as a farewell gift.

Using Mao Wenlong's name, Shen Shikui has opened up a business route with North Korea. It is not easy to use Phi Island as a transit point.

I have made a lot of money, and going to Qingdao, a big place, to enjoy the blessings is much better than Phi Island.Even, Shen Shikui still wants to go to Shanghai, Nanjing, Suzhou and Hangzhou, and become a giant like Li and Yan!

"Minjue?" Mao Wenlong couldn't help grinning when he heard the words when sending the old man out, "Long Live personally asked about this. If Lao Taishan is interested, it will be more convenient than XX through the Maritime Chamber of Commerce."

Shen Shikui laughed, and said: "I know, this Lord is not easy to get. Let's just wait and see, don't worry about it."

After seeing off his father-in-law, Mao Wenlong went back to his study, sorted out his thoughts, and began to write the secret performance.

He still doesn't know everything about Long Live's strategic deployment, because Zhu Youxiao hasn't finalized it yet.

At this stage, Mao Wenlong naturally wants to fight for Dongjiang Town. In the Battle of Ping-Liao, try to get as many missions as possible and make more military achievements.

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

The surging Liao River blocked the way of a group of Ming troops.

"If the river is frozen, go directly eastward from here and cross the Great Wall of Liaohetao, you will be Huangniwa." Zu Dashou, as a veteran general in Guangning, is quite familiar with geography.

After a pause, he added: "In the battle of Guangning, Jiannu attacked along this route."

Xiong Tingbi stroked his beard and nodded slightly. Although there were some navy ships on the river, it was very difficult to cross the large army and the huge amount of food and supplies.

In winter and spring, the river is frozen, which can indeed relieve a lot of burden.Once upon a time, winter was Jiannu's favorite time to launch.Now, it is the Ming army that is going to take the initiative to attack.

Xiong Tingbi has not yet made a final decision whether to use this road to attack Liaoyang directly, or to join forces with the Liaonan Corps and advance steadily northward.

Liaoyang was the seat of the Commander and Envoy of the Liaodong Capital of the Ming Dynasty, which governed the entire territory of Liaoning.After Nurhachi captured Liaoyang, he moved his capital here and built a new city, Tokyo City, on the east bank of the Taizi River in Liaoyang City.

Whether it is military significance or political significance, capturing Liaoyang is no small matter.It's impossible that Xiong Tingbi didn't want to make such a great contribution, and the Liao town general behind him even wanted to monopolize this contribution.
