Chapter 682 Lianmeng Kangming
As the dust of the land sale in the north has settled, the land sale in Liaodong is a foregone conclusion.

The household department is also involved, and can share [-]% of the income. This matter is considered to be the first of its kind, and it has an extremely strong color of rhetoric.After all, the household department can get [-]%, which is not a small amount of income. The attitude of the officials towards this matter is more of acquiescence, and there is no big disturbance.

Just as the emperor said, "Use the land of Liao to support the people of Liao, and the people of Liao to protect the land of Liao". People on the border protect the land of Liaodong. In fact, the principle is still the same as before, and there is no essential change. In the past, it was a mainstream view in the imperial court that "use the Liao soil to support the Liao people, and use the Liao people to protect the Liao soil". A little change is okay.

This news was announced along with the announcement of the imminent drought in the world, and it became known to everyone in the world to buy land in Liaodong.

A severe drought is imminent, and this year may be even more difficult, and life may not be able to survive. How to survive has become a worry for many ordinary people...Go to the capital, emigrate, follow the emperor, there is always a way to survive, the emperor will not watch everyone starve to death, the emperor said that he will not abandon everyone, will not abandon everyone, this is what the people of the world talk about the most, in their hearts With the backbone and faith, we are much more optimistic.

……

The new year has already begun, and the war has begun. Although Yang Reform still devotes a lot of energy to the war every day, it has to be said that standing at the level of the emperor has a very big difference with what the actual commander of the war has to do. The difference is that for an emperor, war is more about dispatching troops before the war, preparing food, weapons and equipment, and preparing appropriate strategies. These are what the emperor should do in the war. It depends more on the people who are dispatched by themselves and selected.The requirement for an emperor who has barely left the capital to actually command the battle is not generally high.

Therefore, at this time of Yang Reform, he paid more attention to the news of the war, waited for the result, and coordinated with all parties, instead of pointing fingers and directing.

After reading the reports from all parties, Yang Reform did not give any instructions. Since Sun Chengzong is the actual commander, Yang Reform trusts Sun Chengzong more. Except for necessary coordination, Yang Reform does not intend to interfere with Sun Chengzong too much.

After reading the report on the battle, Yang Reform remembered something and asked, "Big Companion, how are the officers and soldiers who are going to be retired and resettled?" Yang Reform suddenly thought of this. And it is sold aboveboard.Then, as a link to extend the tentacles of outward expansion and investment to the rural corners of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Reform felt that it was time to enter the market, and now it has been prepared for a long time. Now the land sale in Liaodong is booming. People just took the opportunity to settle down.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, everything is fine, and I am currently undergoing training..." Wang Chengen agreed.

"How's the training going? Will it come in handy?" Yang Reform asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it's just someone who can learn etiquette for the first time..." Wang Chengen replied, the emperor has been telling him to pay more attention to this matter, pay more attention, and he has indeed paid more attention, but I have to say that this group of people He is an old man, and it is impossible to teach them to be well-educated and polite.

"Oh? Hehehe,...Really?...Do they know how to brag? Do they know how much property they own? Do they know how much they can harvest every year?" Yang Reform said with a smile.Looking at Wang Chengen's helpless expression, Yang Reform could also guess how good this group of people are, so he naturally didn't expect these people to be able to change jobs to become literati.Yang Reform doesn't have high demands on them. It's good to be able to brag about their own expansion, and it's enough to know that they have benefited from the expansion. If they can figure this out, Yang Reform thinks that they have met their requirements. Can't be too demanding.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this is not a problem." Wang Chengen said.It goes without saying that the soldiers brag, Shenkan. The soldiers are used to the lonely life, and they rely on this to get by. Those who have been soldiers for a few years are not good at bragging.As for calculating accounts, there is no need to teach them much. Even if they are illiterate, they can still calculate accounts. They can't call their hard-earned money a trap.

"That's enough. If you find a suitable opportunity, let's put these people there. At present, it's not advisable to spread them too far. Let's put them in a reliable place..." Yang Reform said with a smile.Reliable places naturally refer to the territory controlled by the imperial party, such as Shaanxi, Shanghai, Tianjin, Ryukyu, etc., and people who have the imperial party to take care of them will not suffer.

"The servant obeys the order, so let's do it." Wang Chengen replied.

"Wait a minute, companion, for this batch of retired officers and soldiers, select a batch of excellent ones in all aspects to stay..." Yang Reform thought for a while and said.

"Your Majesty, why is this?" Wang Chengen asked.

"Now the Northern War is about to start. After this battle, I don't know how many people have meritorious service and need to be resettled. The place for retiring and training needs to be expanded!" Yang Reform said.

"So that's the case, the slave girl understands, so let's do it now." Wang Chengen agreed.

Wang Chengen went out to do errands, and Yang Reform picked up another memorial to read.

This memorandum was sent by Sun Chengzong. Yang Reform read it once, but he didn't reply immediately, but prepared to think carefully before replying.What it says is about the frontier army.In this war, the frontier troops will actually play a big role. They are not useless waste, but their usefulness must be handled carefully before they can play their role. Just like ingredients, there are many ingredients that must be After a lot of processing, the ideal taste can be made, and the same is true for the frontier army. The frontier army must go through many procedures and many more processes before it can play a role in this nine-sided battle, not just randomly. Casually pulling the frontier army into the battlefield is simply looking for death. In doing so, the frontier army will not be able to play any role except for bad things.

As for how to deal with the "ingredients" of the frontier army, Yang Reform has dealt with it many times before, and now it is the last process.

When Sun Chengzong took office as the Nine Frontier Supervisor, the first place he went to was not Liaodong or Datong, but Xuanji. In fact, going to this place was to do the last process of dealing with the frontier army.

According to the strategy, the border of the Ming Dynasty in the future will not be the front line of the Great Wall. That is to say, the current frontier army also needs to be reformed, or eliminated, or merged. In short, it is impossible to maintain the current Great Wall defense line with huge military expenditures. Yes, changes must be made. With the same amount of money to maintain the Great Wall defense line, it is better to put the defense line in Xinjiang, and in Siberia, which is farther away.

Therefore, how to eliminate and merge these frontier troops is actually a long-standing problem. At any rate, there are tens of thousands of people, including their families, and the number is even larger.Although this is only a number on paper.In any case, we must treat it with caution and seek suitable opportunities to do this.

So how to change the current pattern of the frontier army?To change the current status quo, in fact, this ten-thousand-mile war in the north is a good time. After such a war, there must be countless credits. If you have credits, you can be promoted.As for the frontier army, it is very difficult to be promoted, because there is not so much credit to take, and there is not so much territory to divide.It is different now. If the war is won, the Ming Dynasty will obtain a large area of ​​land in Liaodong, and even a large area of ​​​​Mongolia. There will be quite a lot of land to accommodate the promotion of the frontier army, and the credit for the promotion is also in this northern war. .

The previous Yang Reform has dealt with the "ingredients" of the frontier army several times, such as making up for the military salary, such as distributing cotton clothes, such as letting them go to the grassland to play the autumn wind, etc., and now it is close to the state of being able to cook, and now Sun Chengzong Going to Xuanji is to do the last treatment, linking the military exploits and promotion, and the land. After doing this last treatment, the frontier army can become a qualified "ingredient" and can play its role in this war. Playing their own role, the role of hundreds of thousands of frontier troops is the key to this nine-sided, ten-thousand-mile war.

"Huh..." Yang Reform let out a long sigh of relief.Yang Reform knew that Sun Chengzong had succeeded in dealing with the "ingredients" of the frontier army.As soon as Sun Chengzong came out of Beijing, the frontier soldiers couldn't hold back and challenged Sun Chengzong one after another. It was not because of how loyal they were to the emperor and patriotism, nor how much ability they had, but because they were used to the autumn wind and knew that following the new army would be beneficial.Furthermore, this war was also seen as an opportunity by many thoughtful frontier soldiers.

In the eyes of most people in this nine-sided battle, the Ming Dynasty has a greater chance of winning. Since the Ming Dynasty has a greater chance of winning, it is natural to place a bet here. How to place a bet?There are also some officers and soldiers who are not satisfied with the status quo in the frontier army. Some of them have hundreds of households, and some have thousands of households. Thousands of households are destined to be thousands of households.It is too difficult to change, but now, there is such an opportunity in front of them, a hundred households may become a thousand households, and a thousand households are even more likely to become generals and general soldiers.This opportunity is this nine-sided ten-thousand-mile battle, and they bet on the Ming Dynasty, which has a great chance of winning. It is their chance to change their own destiny. Change your own destiny in the face of the extremely likely to win the Nine Fronts Thousand Miles War.

Ordinary military households are the most miserable, there are not as many as officers, the treatment of the general banner is not as good as that of hundreds of households, and the treatment of hundreds of households is not as much as that of thousands of households. One level represents a kind of world. If you want to change your destiny, this is an opportunity .

What Sun Chengzong has to do is nothing more than a promise. In this war, those who contributed and made merit will change the general banner into hundreds of households, hundreds of households into thousands of households, and thousands of households into generals. There are large areas of Liaodong that need someone to guard them. , naturally a large number of people were rewarded.It depends on whether you have this ability.

Therefore, as soon as Sun Chengzong left Beijing, he was immediately flattered by the frontier soldiers, and they all tried their best to ask for a fight to "fight the autumn wind".

Yang Reform read Sun Chengzong's memorabilia, personally approved a "ke" with a Chinese ink brush, and then drew a circle on the word "ke", which was regarded as his consent.

After Yang Reform approved Zhu Hong, he closed the notebook and thought to himself that the frontier army is not without any combat power, as long as it does not exceed their endurance limit.How to not exceed the tolerance limit of these frontier troops depends on Sun Chengzong's grasp of this point, and Yang Reform secretly prays that things will be smooth sailing.

……

It is different from the joy of the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Taiji outside the Liaodong Pass was helpless.

He didn't know the latest developments in the capital of the Ming Dynasty until the Lantern Festival.

What Huang Taiji held in his hand was the latest news sent by the spies placed inside the Ming Dynasty.Since the Ming Dynasty blocked the south very tightly, if he wanted to know the movements of the Ming Dynasty, he had to pass through Lin Danhan's territory. Therefore, the news was seriously delayed. This news was sent on the second day of the first lunar month, but it was delivered to him. At the time, it was already the Lantern Festival, and it was almost half a month late. This was the result of the spies in the capital risking to send the news regardless of the cost. If it wasn't for the spies in the capital sending the news regardless of the consequences, he might not know This news.

Huang Taiji's hands trembled slightly. The news sent by the spies in the capital was really not good news.

Huang Taiji's hand holding the letter was so stiff that he couldn't let go after holding it for a long time, and the letter paper had been squeezed through.

"Let's take a look at Xiandou." Huang Taiji tried hard to calm himself down, and gave the letter to his counselor.

Fan Wencheng took the letter and unfolded it.Seeing the end of the letter, a finger print is particularly eye-catching...

"Khan, this is not good news..." After reading the letter, Fan Wencheng was also silent for a while, and finally said something.

"Xiandou! This is really not good news. Emperor Ming really has means. Gongfu said that he is completely helpless. It was a good opportunity, but the rumors have already taken effect, but Emperor Ming wiped it out with thunder. , the means cannot be used at all, now that the Ming Dynasty has been integrated, it will be difficult to destroy it and separate it from it, the Emperor Ming is using my Dajin land for a costless transaction..." Huang Taiji smiled bitterly .The spies sent to the Ming Dynasty were not without spies, nor were they inactive, nor were they ineffective, but it was still the end, Huang Taiji had nothing but depression besides a wry smile.

"..." Fan Wencheng didn't know what to say. This is definitely not good news. The spies placed inside the Ming Dynasty did not have the effect that Da Khan wanted, and the Ming Dynasty seemed to have been integrated by the Ming Emperor. Facing the Ming Dynasty with one mind and one mind, Fan Wencheng felt afraid in the face of this huge monster.

There is silence in the sweat tent, and apart from silence, there are also some permeating things in it.

"Look at the Xiandou, what should Ben Khan do now? Now the Ming Dynasty obviously wants to take advantage of Ben Khan's lack of a firm foothold on the grasslands to force Ben Khan to fight decisively. Although many places have been won on the grasslands, these places have just been acquired. I haven't raised a cow or a sheep..." Huang Taiji said unwillingly.He beat Lin Danhan, and indeed he got a lot of livestock, people, and pastures, but these pastures were only a few days old, and he never raised a cow or a sheep. Although they are in his hands now, they are far from quenching their thirst.

There was another dead silence in the sweat tent.

"Great Khan, since the Ming Dynasty set up nine supervisors, it is necessary to attack all the nine sides. The Ming Dynasty is going to deal with me, Dajin, and in fact, it is also going to deal with Lin Danhan...Khan, this Do you really miss the situation in the Three Kingdoms? Now that the Ming Dynasty is strong, Dajin and Lin Danhan are weak, so we should unite to deal with the strong Ming Dynasty..." Fan Wencheng thought for a long time, and finally thought of something , said.

"Lianmeng against Ming Dynasty?" Huang Taiji said.

"Back to the Great Khan, yes, unite Mongolia to fight against the Ming Dynasty, and the tribes of Tumot and Waldus are the allies of the Great Khan. Of course, it goes without saying that if the Great Khan can unite Lin Danhan again, in this way, we can deal with the Ming Dynasty. , the chances of winning will be greatly increased..." Fan Wencheng said, with a lot of confidence in his words.

"Lianmeng Kangming is good or bad, I'm afraid Ben Khan thinks so, but Lin Danhan doesn't necessarily think so!" Fan Wencheng compared the situation of the Three Kingdoms, and Huang Taiji immediately understood Fan Wencheng's intention.The Three Kingdoms is in Dajin, which is a textbook of war, and everyone understands it.

"Khan, you might as well try it. If Lin Danhan is smart enough, and if Khan understands emotion and reason, he will definitely unite. I believe Lin Danhan will understand the truth..." Fan Wenchen added road.Although Fan Wencheng said this, he also knew that this was just a psychological comfort. He Da Jin and Lin Danhan had already had blood feuds. How could they give up their previous suspicions and join forces?This difficulty is not ordinary.What's more, the Ming Dynasty formed an alliance with Lin Danhan and gave Lin Danhan a lot of things. If Lin Danhan was asked to give up the alliance with the Ming Dynasty and form an alliance with Dajin, Lin Danhan was either a fool or a great talent.

"Well, what Xiandou said makes sense. We can give this matter a try, and we'll see if it works..." Huang Taiji also knew that he and Lin Danhan had had too much grievances. He was defeated by the Ming Dynasty and injured. The vitality depends entirely on Lin Danhan to restore the vitality. It is conceivable how deep the resentment with Lin Danhan is. It is just a whimsical idea for the two to form an alliance. Huang Taiji does not expect this to come true. With a try and see attitude.

"Khan, it's best to discuss this matter with Tumet and Waldus, tell them about Emperor Ming's ambitions, and tell them to be wary of the Ming Dynasty. Get closer to me, Da Jin, so that we can hold together to keep warm and fight against the Ming Dynasty together." Fan Wencheng said again, giving Huang Taiji another idea.

"Xiandou is right. For this matter, we really should contact Tumote and Woerdusi... that's all we need to do..." Huang Taiji said.The Mongolian right-wing tribes moved closer to him, that is to say, he and the Mongolian right-wing squeezed Lin Danhan together. If Lin Danhan disagreed with the alliance, he would just take the opportunity to eat Lin Danhan or drive him away, and completely occupy the grassland .It would be even better if Lin Danhan agreed to form an alliance, and he, Dajin, could hide in the grassland without fear of the Ming Dynasty's advance.On the contrary, he can pass through the grassland and harass the Ming Dynasty at will. In this way, he can change the decline and reverse the situation between him and the Ming Dynasty.
