I'm a big dick

Chapter 549 Raiders of the North
For Mao Wenlong, the emperor's previous feelings were somewhat complicated.

In his analysis and judgment, Mao Wenlong was killed by Yuan Chonghuan in history, which was indeed wronged.

But Mao Wenlong's domineering self-importance is not a random fabrication.Although there are various complicated reasons, the emperor still has some concerns about this.

Therefore, since Dongjiang opened the town, the emperor has adopted a new model, which not only gave Mao Wenlong military command, but also controlled military discipline and food and payment, and also supervised by the secret music system.

Now, the emperor has enough self-confidence to be able to firmly control Daming's army, including Daming's generals, and Mao Wenlong is no exception.

After a while of silence, the emperor spoke slowly and said, "Mao Qing, don't be cautious, you can look up."

Mao Wenlong trembled, and quickly bowed to thank him, then slowly raised his head and looked at the emperor.

The emperor is very young, even though he has a beard, but in Mao Wenlong's eyes, he is young in his 20s.

The emperor's smile and Xi, if you don't know how many corrupt officials and evil gentry have been killed and how many criminals have been exiled in the past few years, no one will think that the emperor is very violent.

The emperor looked healthy, but not strong.But Mao Wenlong knew that the frontline soldiers contributed a lot to being able to pacify the Liao Dynasty in a few years, but the emperor was an indispensable and strong backing for victory.

Mao Wenlong has been in Liaodong since the establishment of slaves and rebellion against the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that he has witnessed the entire Liaodong war.From the disastrous defeat of Saerhu to the fall of Liaoshen, the rise of Jiannu sweeping over half of Liaodong, he saw everything in his eyes.

After three dynasties, Jiannu was finally suppressed and fled north in embarrassment.Although Emperor Tianqi was young, he showed decisiveness in killing and attacking, and even more amazing foresight and strategy.

Even Mao Wenlong admires and even frightens every time he thinks about it.

Starting from the Battle of Guangning, the emperor's every step of strategy was almost correct, and the generals he appointed were all loyal and brave.

The upgrading of weapons and equipment, the innovation of tactics, the raising and transportation of food and supplies...all of these are the reasons for the disastrous failure of the establishment of slaves, but without the strong support of the emperor, it is unimaginable.

"Long live!" Mao Wenlong only took one look, then bowed and bowed again.

The emperor waved his hands with a smile, and said: "Mao Aiqing has contributed a lot to the victory of Pingliao. Gou Aiqing has lived up to my expectations, and all of them can be commended."

"The remnants of Jiannu fled to the north. They are dying and dying. I summoned the two lovers to meet with you. I just want to hear your strategy. It is not only about exterminating slaves, but rebuilding and stabilizing Liaodong is also my concern."

"In the Tang, Song, and even this dynasty, the north is the great enemy of the Central Plains dynasty, and Liaodong can also be called the source of war. In the Song Dynasty, there was Liao first, and then there was Jin..."

The histories are different, but also similar.Liao, Jin, and the Qing Dynasty all rose from the northeast and dealt a devastating blow to the Central Plains Dynasty.

Therefore, the emperor not only defeated the confidant of Jiannu, but also built a stable base in Liaodong, expanding the territory of Ming Dynasty to the north, and forming a more powerful defense.

After more than a decade or a few decades, the current Liaodong will no longer be the front line, but the rear.

"Long live." Mao Wenlong bowed and played: "I think that although Liaodong is called bitter cold, it is a fertile land. If it is well managed, it can also become a prosperous place. As long as the population increases and the cultivated land increases..."

The emperor listened, smiled, and didn't think there was anything new.

To develop the Great Northern Wilderness and build the Great Northern Wilderness, the emperor understands various policies and measures better than anyone else, and he also thinks far-reaching than anyone else.

Population is indeed the most important thing. Without millions of educated youths going to the Northeast, it would still be called the Great Northern Wilderness.

However, relying on the current productivity, transportation capacity and other factors, as well as the impact of the catastrophe, it will be a slow process to develop the immigration to Liaodong.

Even if it was slow, the emperor didn't care very much. As long as the development plan was carried out resolutely without stopping, things like Yaksa and Nerchinsk in history would not happen.

Because, according to the emperor's plan, it will not take many years to advance northward for a hundred miles every year to reach Heilongjiang.

And Heilongjiang and Daxinganling were not the emperor's ultimate goal. The black gold buried underground in Siberia, the emperor also wanted to include it in the hands of the Ming Empire.

The cold of the Little Ice Age could not destroy Tsarist Russia in the north, nor the Mongolian tribes in Mobei, let alone stop the emperor's will and the Ming army's march to the north.

Confidence in the system of supervision and restriction designed by himself, the emperor no longer has to think too much about the history of which courtiers.Use it if you can, and withdraw if you can't use it. No one can be domineering, or even support troops to cause chaos.

"Building a fort within ten miles, connected by roads, occupying the frontiers and garrisoning the frontiers, every step of the way, a hundred miles a year is not the limit, and two hundred miles is also possible..."

The emperor pursed his lips slightly, and while agreeing with Mao Wenlong's suggestion, he also thought that his courage and structure were not as great as his own.

How stingy a fortress is, it is better to build a city.He has already thought of the names, such as Changchun, Siping, Harbin, Qiqihar, Jiamusi...

The strategy of building cities and building roads is not only applicable to the expansion of borders from Liaodong to the north, but also to Mongolia. Hohhot, Baotou, Ulanqab... are just the goals that the emperor wants to achieve in more than ten years.

It is almost impossible for Jiannu to make a comeback. How can Lin Dan Khan, who is trying to unify the tribes of Mongolia and repeat the glory of his ancestors, be the opponent of the Ming army?
The entire north of Ming Dynasty is a game of chess, and the northward advance is also the only strategic plan.This point, by repeating Horqin and setting Zasak, Mao Wenlong also understands it very clearly.

In this regard, Mao Wenlong supported the emperor and had great confidence.

Through the war in Liaodong, the imperial court used huge resources to train and build an army capable of sweeping away all enemies.Crushed by weapons and equipment, and pushed horizontally by the cavalry wall, can this force still silence it?

"Nu'er Gandusi's old place was restored, and brought it under the direct jurisdiction of our Ming Dynasty. I thought it would not be difficult to repeat the glory of Taizu and Chengzu under the command of His Majesty's wise and mighty..."

Mao Wenlong praised the emperor, paused for a while, and looked up slightly.

Hahahaha, the emperor laughed heartily, at least Mao Wenlong thought so, and couldn't help feeling relieved.

"Not only to expand the territory, but also to occupy it firmly and actively manage it." The emperor stopped laughing and said, "If the occupied land becomes a burden on the imperial court, it will be fine for one or two years, and no matter how long it takes, What's the point?"

The emperor pondered for a while, and said: "Mao Aiqing, I want to know how many troops Liaodong needs to complete the task of exterminating slaves and expanding the frontier?"

Mao Wenlong hurriedly bowed and replied: "Long live back, after repeated calculations, I think [-] is enough."

This is the figure obtained by Mao Wenlong after repeated compression, and discussed with Gou Zhenhuai and others.It can not only complete the task, but also enable the court to guarantee food and payment.
