I'm a big dick

Chapter 403 Be more stable!

There are two weeks left for the exam, continue to study hard, listen to the intensive lectures, intensive training, my head is getting bigger!

Divider.
Liu Lishun is a role model, so is Wen Anzhi, as well as Wei Guangwei and Ni Wenhuan, the governors of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Xia Zhongshi, who was raised by merchant Jian.

And the rapid promotion of military generals is even more uncommon. Most of the generals from the Nine Frontiers have a background in martial arts, or were promoted and reused by the emperor himself.

From civil to military, more and more civil servants and generals have gathered around the emperor.

Of course, many of them have real talents and real learning, but there are also many who are just obedient and implement the imperial court policies and emperor's edicts to the letter, so they get promoted.

The power of role models is infinite, and the road to promotion is not that difficult, which naturally attracts more people's attention, attracts more people to work hard, and move closer to the emperor.

To explain this situation in the simplest terms, it is "one emperor and one courtier", or "what is good at the top, must be done at the bottom".

What kind of courtiers the emperor likes, there will be no shortage in all dynasties.Whether it's a loyal minister or a treacherous sycophant; whether it's a blunt admonition or a flattery.

If you want to be in the officialdom, you have to know the emperor's preferences and figure out the emperor's mind.Otherwise, he won't be an official for long, and he will be kicked out sooner or later.

In fact, this has nothing to do with loyalty, nor integrity and treachery.Loyal and straight ministers are good, but which treacherous minister is not talented?
In Zhu Youxiao's view, it would be more in his mind to be able to handle the errands that he had assigned, without violating the laws of the country, and flattering courtiers.

And like some officials who claim to be righteous, talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and are always offended, if they can't do their jobs well, they are of no use.

The most obvious example is those Donglin Party officials in history.You can't ease the finances and improve the people's livelihood inside, you can't defeat the slaves and keep the country safe from the outside, but you will only stick your neck against the emperor.

What about setting up a crown prince, what are the three major cases, and staring at the royal family every day to find fault, so as to invite them to buy loyalty in the name of honesty, but it is useless.

Do you need to interrupt and comment on the emperor's family affairs?Go to the outline and go online at every turn, quote scriptures at every turn, and do some serious work when you have time.

Anyway, Zhu Youxiao has made up his mind.One's own housework is up to oneself, who cares and who is in a hurry.

As for any family affairs, the royal family's children are naturally the most important.Yu'er gave birth to two girls, but Concubine Wang Liang and Queen's stomachs are getting bigger and bigger.

Zhu Youxiao remembered that in history, Queen Zhang Yan seemed to have given birth to a boy, so of course she cannot be tampered with now.

Thinking of the queen, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help pursing the corners of his mouth, showing a slight smile, and raised his head to order: "Go to Kunning Palace at noon, tell the imperial dining room, and send the food there."

Zhang Yan and Concubine Wang Liang cared more about the baby in their belly than the emperor.In the imperial palace, it is almost an unchanging law that mothers are more expensive than children.Even giving birth to a princess is much better than giving birth to nothing.

Zhu Youxiao made a temporary decision and did not notify in advance, lest Zhang Yan would be too busy to pick him up.I happened to have lunch in Kunning Palace, and then took a nap with the plump queen in my arms, kissed and touched her for a little addiction, so happy.

But things in the world are always unexpected, God often does beautiful things that disturb people.

Before Zhu Youxiao got up, Wang Tiqian rushed in and presented the box of secret performances.If it was a normal memorial, Zhu Youxiao could delay it for a while, but he didn't dare to delay when he saw that it was from Xiong Tingbi of Liaodong.

After checking the seal, Zhu Youxiao opened the secret music and looked at it carefully.

It has been explained before that although there are still several months of preparation for next year's winter and spring counterattack, the harassment of Jiannu will not stop, making them unsafe and consuming Jiannu's savings and strength.

However, Xiong Tingbi's battle plan exceeded the scale of harassment set by the emperor, which made Zhu Youxiao frown slightly.After thinking about it for a while, he got up and went to the sand table in the corner of the hall, contemplating it intently.

According to the number of Ming troops dispatched, it is not too risky to directly advance to Haicheng River, or even besiege Haizhouwei.

As Xiong Tingbi analyzed and judged, Jiannu is unlikely to send too many troops to fight against the river, which is a taboo for military strategists.Therefore, it should be no problem for the Ming army to advance steadily to the Haicheng River.

It is also feasible to attack Haizhou Acropolis based on the artillery owned by the Ming army.

What's more, in addition to the Hongyi cannon, the Ming army also had other means of breaking the city, such as the emperor's instructions, the tunnels and external blasting techniques mastered after martial arts experiments.

But the Ming army launched too early, this is Zhu Youxiao's feeling.Once the battle is fought, it is not easy to accept it if you want to.Jiannu just passively guarded Liaoshen, allowing the Ming army to tighten the noose?
If Jiannu were to make a big move, there would be very limited forces to support the Ming army group in southern Liao.

First of all, the flying cavalry of the Beijing camp will not start until after autumn, and secondly, the Mongolian tribes and the naturalized flying cavalry battalion are also preparing to dispatch at that time. The last point is that the transportation and storage of ammunition and supplies have not yet been completed.

These are two forces that cannot be ignored, and can even be said to be the key to victory.It can not only firmly contain Jiannu's troops, but also wait for an opportunity to attack and win.

The ammunition supplies are the reason why Zhu Youxiao doesn't want to fight a big battle. If it is consumed intensively, it won't last for too long. He feels that it is anticlimactic.

But Xiong Tingbi has already formulated a battle plan and mobilized troops, which is of course his power.But the escalation of the harassment into a battle, or even a battle, was probably within his expectations.

Zhu Youxiao smiled wryly. He was only responsible for the strategic and logistical arrangements for the Liaodong operation, and he rarely intervened in the specific command.

Now, not only Xiong Tingbi, but also Mao Wenlong have shown a relatively strong desire to fight, making it difficult for the emperor who has always been a stable old dog.

Direct veto is not impossible, but it is not good.Zhu Youxiao thought of this, and it is estimated that Xiong Tingbi and Mao Wenlong also thought of it.

It is a good thing to seek war and win, and Zhu Youxiao actually feels that this change is gratifying.Although the signs have already appeared, there are still not many who dare to fight at the battle level.

Especially Xiong Tingbi, who is second only to the emperor in terms of calmness.Well, Zhu Youxiao thinks so.Even the old bear is about to rise up, can you be the emperor's cold water?
After much deliberation, Zhu Youxiao still decided to agree with Old Xiong's battle plan.It will take a month or so, and it will definitely be in time to send back the secret edict.

But agreeing is agreeing, Zhu Youxiao thinks it is still necessary to stabilize.It has been stable for several years, not bad for a few months.

Advancing to the Haicheng River, widening it; attacking Haizhou Acropolis, also widening it.But we must be prepared to abandon the Haizhou Acropolis and use the Haicheng River as a line of defense to confront Jiannu.

Across the Haicheng River, if you fight the Jiannu for a long time under the Haizhou Acropolis, it will be difficult to transport materials, and the risk of fighting against the water is also great.

After all, the navy of the Ming army could not sail directly into the Haicheng River. It would be time-consuming and labor-intensive to build ships on the spot, and it would not be safe.
