Since the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty agreed that the Liaodong Peninsula south of Haizhou Wei was all returned to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao planned to establish a strong enough frontier strategic position based on the Liaodong Peninsula and Shandong Denglai as the base, and to clamp and attack Wu Xiang's troops and the Qing Dynasty in the future.

Moreover, what Zhu Youxiao wanted to let Yuan Chonghuan lead the military and political power in the Liaodong Peninsula and Denglai area, and Mao Wenlong was responsible for the execution of military operations. In this way, the Ming Dynasty's strategic situation in Liaodong would not be just guerrilla, but a strategy of attacking, defense and eroding step by step, combining guerrilla and fortress blockade.

But now, Yuan Chonghuan was executed because of his pride and domineering. Although Mao Wenlong had the talent of a general who had set up a terror and had the only one side to stand on the other, he did have the suspicion of being unrestrained and over-held, and had some shortcomings in private morals and discipline. In addition, many ministers in the court made many remarks about a military officer, opening the government, so Zhu Youxiao did not let Mao Wenlong directly manage the military affairs of the Liaodong Peninsula and Denglai.

Finally, Zhu Youxiao had to let the Minister of War Lu Xiang take the air to the Haizhou Guard and begin to coordinate the management of the Liaodong Peninsula and Denglai Prefectures.

The affairs of Jizhou were handed over to Yang Sichang to manage. Now the training of new troops in various parts of the Imperial Guard has been effective, and the preliminary training of officers in the Royal Military Academy has also been on the right track. Before the next enrollment work begins, Lu Xiangsheng was able to escape and take charge of the Liaodong Peninsula and Denglai.

Lu Xiang rose from the local area, not only good at commanding troops but also civil affairs. Therefore, letting Lu Xiangsheng go to command Liaodong and Denglai was actually much more suitable than let Yuan Chonghuan. According to the Jinyiwei report, Lu Xiangsheng's first thing after going to Liaodong was to pay a visit to Mao Wenlong and also had a Taoyuan charity with Mao Wenlong.

It is a taboo to join the Minister of War and the General of the Frontier, but according to reality, in this era of emphasis on literature and suppressing martial arts, the Minister of War Lu Xiangsheng dared to bow his waist to become brothers with Mao Wenlong. More political meaning is that Lu Xiangsheng understands Mao Wenlong's status and strategic value in Liaodong, so he expressed his relationship with Mao Wenlong in this way to make Mao Wenlong believe in his meaning.

Zhu Youxiao had no objection after hearing this. This kind of feud was just a personal relationship. In this era, even the emperor could not stop the mutual dependence between civil servants and military officers. But what he could do was try not to make one party bigger. It was not important whether it was a shared relationship or a tense person. Don't unite to deal with his emperor.

Lu Xiangsheng did not take any of the preacher's airs, and he impressed Mao Wenlong with all his actions. Therefore, the military arrangements on the Liaodong Peninsula were much smoother. In addition, the court is rich in money and food, so within a month or two, more than 30 new castles were added to the entire Liaodong Peninsula, tens of thousands of acres of wasteland were reclaimed, and the agricultural and pasture land was restored to resume production to tens of thousands of acres.

In fact, the above achievements are also related to the reason why a large number of people have recently been relocated to enrich Liaodong. The population is refugees recruited from Qin and Jin and other places and some of the family members of criminals. Some of them have some cultural level. Lu Xiangsheng simply set up a school to popularize knowledge of the Dongjiang soldiers first (mainly brainwashing content that praises merits).

The more than 30 Ming people who have been killed are now the people who are newly incorporated into Liaodong households. After receiving the advice of Zhu Youxiao to take revenge against Wu Xiang's tribe, Lu Xiangsheng summoned Mao Wenlong and other generals overnight to a group of grassroots local officials from scholars to Jinshi who brought him to discuss how to take revenge against Wu Xiang's tribe.

"Outside this hurdle, we have always bullied others, but now we are stabbed by others. It's really embarrassing. Thousands of stones of food are robbed is a trivial matter, but the key is that our Ming Dynasty has never been bullied like this. Thirty-four lives and twenty-seven people were injured are not trivial matters. Moreover, Your Majesty issued a strict order and must take revenge on Wu Xiang's tribe. Don't forget Yuan Chonghuan's fate. Therefore, everyone here has made suggestions today and must come up with a revenge on Wu Xiang's tribe as soon as possible."

After Lu Xiangsheng said this, Mao Wenlong took the initiative to come and kneel on the ground: "This time, my Daming people were killed, which was caused by the death of the Mo General's neglect of his duties. The Mo General is guilty, so please punish the Grand Sima!"

"General Mao doesn't have to do this. You don't blame you for this matter. And now it's not the time to hold anyone responsible, but how to revenge this hatred." Zhu Youxiao said this, and Mao Wenlong stood up and bowed to Lu Xiangsheng and said, "From the last general, we might as well dig the ancestral tomb of his Wu clan directly. Now, because the Wu Xiang tribe and the Qing Dynasty fought in Jinzhou, Wu Xiang transferred a large number of elite troops who guarded his tomb to Jinzhou. Now is the best time for us to retaliate against the Wu Xiang tribe."

After hearing what Mao Wenlong said, Lu Xiangsheng stroked his beard and nodded: "This plan is good. General Mao, tell us the general idea of ​​how to dig a grave and how to attract the attention of Wu Xiang's tribe. We must come up with a plan as soon as possible to let Wu Xiang's tribe taste the power of our Ming court, and at the same time dispel the concerns of the people who immigrate here in the future."

At this time, Wu Sangui was sitting happily in the spacious and bright Guangsha with his father drinking wine. He was also snuggling a beauty in his arms. Both father and son were both working together, but they did not care about the influence. Among them, Wu Sangui even poured a glass of sake into a beauty's mouth and pushed the beauty to his father: "Father, please drink this tea."

"My son is filial to him." Wu Xiang put his black old mouth in his mouth and sucked a mouthful of wine mixed with saliva. He enjoyed it and tasted it very much. Then he said to Wu Sangui: "This battle of Jinzhou can defeat Huang Taiji. My son has made great contributions. It is really a delusion to the court want to destroy us with the hands of the Tartars."

"Zhu Youxiao promised that the Qing Dynasty would not interfere with any of our military and political affairs, so that Huang Taiji could attack us without any worries. Although we saved Jinzhou, we lost the important land of Daling Hebao, and the losses were huge. Zhu Youxiao's move was not poisonous. In order to let him learn a lesson, he killed dozens of his people and robbed him of thousands of stones of food. Let him see how he dealt with it."

Wu Sangui also drank a glass himself and placed the wine glass heavily on the table.

But Wu Xiang couldn't help but ask worriedly: "You said that if the court knew about it, it would use this to launch a large number of troops to wipe out us. You know, Zhu Youxiao has never forgotten the hatred of Tu Yongping back then. Now that we have just finished the battle with the Tartars, our vitality is severely damaged. I am afraid it will be difficult to withstand the thunderous momentum of the court."

"Father, please rest assured. Now Zhu Youxiao is busy implementing the new policy, eradicating the Confucius Sect in the Northern Sect, and reducing the status of the Confucian Confucius clan. It can be said that it angers the anger of the scholars in the world. Now, relying on his Imperial Guards and the royalists, suppressing the anger of these scholars. If he starts a war, he must prepare for a fire in the backyard. Even if it does not catch a fire, we will still help him catch a fire. However, according to Erchen, Zhu Youxiao will not be so reckless. Now the elite of the Imperial Guards in various places are still scattered in the pass, without any sign of concentration. What we need to guard against now is whether Lu Xiangsheng and Mao Wenlong will take revenge. However, Erchen has strictly ordered officials from all over the place to be careful, strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and it is best to reduce the action alone."

Wu Sangui said.
