Chapter 477: Royal Driving Shanhaiguan

If you want to attack Chen Yang, no one dares to decide if Zhu Xu nodded in such a thing.

Shen Yongmao, Xiong Tingbi, He Hucheng and others were all excited by this idea, and even Zhang Wenda, the civil servant, could not suppress his excitement.

The problem of Liaodong almost ran through the Wanli dynasty and has been a major concern of the Ming Dynasty until now. I don’t know how much manpower and material resources are invested every year. I was killed for this and there were countless civil and military officials who were dismissed.

If they can solve it, what kind of great achievements will it be?

Not to mention the promotion of the current officials, great achievements and great reputations all over the world, it will also have a strong mark in history, and it is not impossible to become a famous general in history!

As the governor of Liaodong, Zhang Wenda has a lot of say in civil affairs. He said: "Mr. Shen, Liaodong has reclaimed 3,000 hectares this year, mainly because there are few people. If there are enough young and strong, it is possible to open 20,000 to 30,000 hectares a year. In the next few years, Liaodong will accommodate one or two million people, and there is no problem."

Zhang Wenda’s meaning is very simple, which means that Liaodong can accept this wave of people coming from Chen Yang.

This is already a naked, naked person who is trying to win the credit.

Xiong Tingbi was unwilling to fall behind and said to Shen Yongmao: "Mr. Shen, we not only need to accept the people who surrendered in Liaodong, but also have to plan in detail how to safely capture Shen Yang!"

It is obviously not a matter of one or two words to capture Chen Yang.

Mao Wenlong pondered and said, "Mr. Shen, 20,000 cavalry, Dongjiang Town can still stop it. Even if you fight hard, you are sure to defeat half of them!"

If Jiannu only had 10,000 cavalry left, even if it came and went like the wind, it would not be a big threat to the Ming Dynasty, even in the vast Liaodong!

He Hucheng stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Shen, we should find a way to completely annihilate Jiannu!"

Shen Yongmao's expression was slightly shocked, and then he said in a deep voice: "Yes, Shen. Yang is small, Jiannu is big, and you need to plan a comprehensive response! I set off for Beijing immediately. Before I come back, no one is allowed to leave Shanhai. Pass, those who violate the order will be killed!"

Everyone can understand the determination in Shen Yongmao's tone, and they are more aware of the murderous aura contained in it.

"Abide by the order!"

This matter is too important, and they cannot be careless.

Shanhai. Pass was not far from the capital, and Shen used Mao to whip the horse and returned to the capital after more than an hour.

In the imperial study room.

Sun Chengzong was reporting to Zhu Xu about the new warship and said in a concise manner: "Your Majesty, the new warship is larger than the Red Haired Man's, and it may be worse than the sturdy ones. However, our cannon has a long range, and if we cooperate with other fleets, we should be able to fight the Red Haired Man!"

The battle Sun Chengzong mentioned actually refers to the near-shore and relies on geographical advantages.

But this is obviously not what Zhu Xu wanted. In the offshore, the Netherlands and the Chinese won several games except for winning a few games when the Ming Dynasty was extremely weak, and they had never won any other victory. In history, Zheng Chenggong was finally driven away from Taiwan. It can be seen that in the offshore, the Netherlands and the Chinese did not have much threat to the current Ming Dynasty.

What Zhu Xu really needs is to control the sea, not only the South China Sea, but even the Pacific Ocean!

However, after all, I have to eat the rice bite at a time, and I cannot expect the Ming navy to become the ocean-going navy at once.

Zhu Xu looked at Sun Chengzong and smiled, and still had a thought in his heart, saying, "Well, the warships cannot stop, training cannot stop. A powerful navy is crucial to our Ming Dynasty!"

Sun Chengzong actually didn't know Zhu Xu's idea very well. What's the point of building so many warships? The Ming Dynasty is now suffering from internal and external troubles, so it should no longer waste manpower and material resources to build warships and navy.

He also knew that this was something the emperor attached great importance to and had detailed plans, and responded: "Yes, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Works, and the Council of Ministers are all specialized people watching, don't worry, the emperor."

Zhu Xu didn't know what Sun Chengzong was thinking, and looked at Sun Chengzong, tapping his fingers on the table, and said slowly in a tone: "Well. Next year... I plan to find a chance to go to Jiangnan in person."

Sun Chengzong's face changed slightly. Emperor Ming Dynasty rarely left the palace since Xuanzong. It was no good for them to leave the palace.

For example, Zhengde, and Yingzong.

Sun Chengzong's expression moved slightly and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to see the atmosphere of the Jiangnan Shilin?"

Zhu Xuheshou said, "This is one, the second is that I plan to check the preparations for colleges everywhere. Third, I also want to go to Fujian, see the navy, and see the red-haired people."

Sun Chengzong lowered his head and thought slightly, and said for a while: "Emperor, it is a turbulent autumn now, and the capital cannot be without the emperor. The reform of the new policy requires time, so it can be carried out slowly. Regarding the academy, I believe that the strength of the court is still not enough. There should be rewards and punishments, and the six ministries can be ordered to discuss and come up with the charter. As for the Red Haired People, I believe that it is not enough. The Southern Navy is enough to deal with it, so the emperor does not need to worry too much."

Sun Chengzong opposed Zhu Xu's southward movement. In addition to the reasons he mentioned, the emperor also said that he would go south. I don't know how much it would cost, not to mention that there are risks.

Zhu Xu could understand Sun Chengzong's concerns. He deliberately tried it first, and made a sound, without any intention of decisiveness. He changed the topic: "I know what you said, how are the new army preparing?"

The so-called new army is the group that has just graduated from the Military Academy. Zhu Xu and the Ministry of War plan to directly train the first army to see the results. These students who graduated from the Military Academy are different from the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty before. Zhu Xu hopes that they can bring different thinking and atmosphere to the Ming army.

Seeing that Zhu Xu did not insist, Sun Chengzong knew that there was room for persuasion and did not chase him. He followed Zhu Xu's words and said, "The Ministry of War is already preparing, and the soldiers are all from the southwest. I will discuss and place them in the mountains and west and hand them over to General Cao."

"Cao Wenzhao?"

Zhu Xu nodded thoughtfully, and the Ministry of War was also avoiding suspicion and handing over the new army to his confidants to control it.

"By the way," Zhu Xu suddenly said: "The new army, Wang Wensheng and Cai Xiao, were transferred over, and Li Guo, were sent in."

Regarding the surrendered soldiers, the Ming Dynasty's strategy was to kill the main evil, and the rest were placed under the supervision. Li Guo was not the main evil and was always imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice.

Wang Wensheng is the emperor's cousin, so it is appropriate for him to take charge. Sun Chengzong is meaningless. Just as he was about to continue, Liu Shimin hurriedly ran in and said, "Emperor, Shangshu Shen is back, I have something urgent to ask for a meeting."

Zhu Xu frowned. How long has he been gone?

"pass."

Sun Chengzong also had a slightly moved look. Could something happened in Liaodong?

Shen Yongmao walked in quickly, not caring about the full tribute, and said excitedly: "Emperor, Dorgon contacted Jiannu's confidants. His younger brother Duoduo, Shuotou of the Great Beile Mansion and others could bring in 12,000 cavalry. In addition to the others, Jiannu could only have 20,000 cavalry. If the arrangement was properly, he could completely eliminate Jiannu in one fell swoop! Even if it was only a heavy blow, he could easily recover Shen Yang and Jiannu, and there was no need to worry about it!"

Zhu Xu and Sun Chengzong both opened their eyes. Before, they only wanted to focus on creating slaves, but they did not expect that Dorgon could take away nearly half of Jiannu's cavalry!

Sun Chengzong was so moved that he quickly raised his hand to Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, if this is true, this is almost worth taking a chance!"

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, his eyes flashed. The sound of a small horse hooves sounded again on the table, and his heart also turned rapidly.

If Huang Taiji only had 20,000 cavalry, if he was surprised, even if he only killed 5,000, it would be enough to make Huang Taiji hurt and would never have the ability to compete with the Ming Dynasty again!

Zhu Xu was also extremely excited and stood up suddenly, turned to Cao Huachun and said, "I will secretly leave the palace immediately and go to Shanhai and Guan! If there is any urgent matter, I will hand over to Wenzhao Pavilion for the rest!"

This is not the first time Zhu Xu has gone to Liaodong, and Cao Huachun is not surprised, let alone this time he only went to Shanhaiguan. There was no danger. He responded: "Abide by the order."

Cao Bianjiao was still in Shaanxi. Zhu Xu directly ordered two thousand imperial guards, quietly took Sun Chengzong and Shen Yongmao to leave Beijing and head straight to Shanhai and Pass.

Xiong Tingbi has been in the mountains and seas for several years. He seems to have done nothing, but in fact he has not done anything he should have done. During the period when Shen Yongmao returned to Beijing, he has been taking He Hucheng, Zu Dashou, Yang Lin and others to carefully deduce and calculate every possibility.

He Hucheng had just arrived in Liaodong and had no contribution yet. How could he miss such an opportunity? He said to Xiong Tingbi directly, "Master Xiong, if you don't take the officials to take people to Dalinghe Castle in person and accept the returned people, you can resettle them as soon as possible, and you can also prevent any abnormal movements of Jiannu."

Zu Dashou was anxious when he heard this. It was clearly a robbery. He hurriedly said, "Mr. Xiong, Jinzhou City can accommodate 50,000 people, and the officials personally dispatched it to ensure that there is no accident."

Yang Lin was not willing to let the enemy down and said directly: "Mr. Xiong, why not lead troops across the Daling River and ambush in Guangning. Advance can attack and retreat or defend." This is to be the vanguard of attacking Shen Yang.

Xiong Tingbi could see that the public was in high spirits, but he had no right to make decisions and could only make plans for the court to choose.

Zhang Wenda and Mao Wenlong rarely talked, and they both knew each other's identities. Zhang Wenda was just a governor and had no right to interfere in the military. Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town, this time, he accepted more "scattered people" and made a hindrance. The real main force was the group of people from Liaodong.

Zhu Xu sat in the carriage and ran towards the mountains and seas.

His mood was also unable to calm down for a long time, and he was still discussing with Shen Yongmao and Sun Chengzong in the carriage.

Sun Chengzong said, "The cavalry is still in Shaanxi and West, so there is no time to transfer it back, but the tiger and wolf guard can be used. Liaodong, plus Dongjiang Town has 120,000 troops. If you are surprised, you should be able to make great achievements!"

Zhu Xu was in a state of great excitement, and eliminating the Later Jin Dynasty was always his first goal. He was about to achieve it, and his heart was beating violently, as if he was about to jump out.

Listening to Sun Chengzong's words, he gently said, "Well, let's mobilize troops, the two camps must also be strictly guarded, and there must be no loopholes!"

Although Zhu Xu said this, he was still worried that Huang Taiji was not so easy to deal with, and how could he hide such a big disturbance from him!
