In order to gather supplies, the Jurchens attacked the grain and grass in the Dalian area. It took nearly two years to prepare. The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first. Without sufficient food and grass, why fight?
The area around Jinzhou City had long been stripped bare by the Jurchens, who had threshed the grassy valleys. It is simply impossible for the Jurchens to eat locally. The amount of food and grass needed to attack Jinzhou City is not a small amount.
In addition, Jinzhou City is a huge city. There is no shortage of food and grass in the city. Commander-in-Chief Tian Yonggang and more than 60,000 soldiers guarding the city are willing to live or die with Jinzhou City.
Even if the Jurchens can capture Jinzhou City, they still have to shed their skin. The defenders of Jinzhou City were prepared for the worst. Even if the Jurchens captured Jinzhou City. The price paid is also staggering.
No matter what, you have to be prepared to fill it with 200,000 lives. The two hundred thousand people here are not ordinary people. At the very least, they must have the quality to attack the Liaodong Bureau's mausoleum infantry.
When attacking a huge city like Jinzhou City, a battle loss ratio of one to three is the minimum. Therefore, if the Jurchens want to capture Jinzhou City, attacking by force is not the best strategy.
The best way is, of course, to defeat the enemy without fighting. The use of powerful force and force deterrence caused the will of the Jinzhou City defenders to collapse.
Now the Jurchens have just suffered a defeat in the Dalian area. Obviously such conditions are not met.
When Wanyan Yushu returns home, the morale of the Jurchens will definitely be low. Obviously this is not the best time to attack Jinzhou City. Therefore, the Jurchens will not and do not have the conditions to attack Jinzhou City this year.
Therefore, the Dazheng Dynasty had the opportunity to build a mausoleum around Jinzhou City this year. This required the court to seize the time to build the mausoleum. This not only requires a lot of labor, but also requires a lot of money.
Li Miao analyzed that it should be difficult for the Zheng Dynasty court to accomplish this. However, Li Miao did not dare to jump to conclusions. After all, it is of great significance to accomplish this. The success lies in the present, and the benefit lies in the future.
It is a great temptation for any important minister. Once this is done, it will be remembered forever. Ministers of this era make choices about fame and fortune. Reputation is often more important.
His reputation will last through the ages, and he deserves to enjoy the Imperial Ancestral Temple. It is the ultimate pursuit of many ministers. It’s all about gaining fame and fortune! It's a pity that only the ministers of all dynasties can do this. Almost all of them are rare, very few.
People of this era firmly believe it. After death, people go to another world. But it requires earthly incense offerings. Ordinary people enjoy the incense of future generations. That's why there is "There are three types of unfilial piety. The greatest is not having children."
This shows the importance of continuing the family line. The loss of heirs means that the incense will be cut off in the other world. That's why Li Yuanwai, Jia Zhen, Lin Ruhai and others care so much about their heirs.
Of course, the top incense must be the incense from Ancestral Temple. So Li Miao couldn't tell. The possibility of the imperial court building a mausoleum around Jinzhou City. With such a huge temptation of benefits, anything is possible.
Jinzhou City is now an isolated city. Tian Yonggang and his 60,000 soldiers fought with bloody courage. But how long can it be sustained with just a burst of blood? It can be said that the successor is powerless and in danger.
If the imperial court does not want to find a way to completely solve the problem of Jinzhou City. The fall of Jinzhou City was a matter of time. Maybe it won't be long. It may only last for two or three years at most.
Therefore, only by building a mausoleum can the hidden dangers of Jinzhou City be completely solved. Building a mausoleum is not just a strategic success. In fact, it is not a disadvantage economically.
Building a mausoleum can be said to be a one-time investment with long-term benefits. It may take less than a few years for the court to recover its investment.
Just build mausoleums around Jinzhou City. This makes Jinzhou City self-sufficient in food. From now on, food from Jinzhou City will no longer need to be transported from within the pass. It saves huge amounts of money every year.
The key is that the people in the surrounding mausoleums are the solid foundation of Jinzhou City. Not only does it provide cheap food and grass for Jinzhou City, but more importantly, it also provides protection for Jinzhou City's soldiers. Otherwise, Jinzhou City would be an isolated city.
The camp is made of iron and the soldiers are flowing water. There are not enough troops to replenish. No matter how powerful the general is, he can't recruit him. Make bricks without straw! This is also Tian Yonggang's most helpless question.
Outside Jinzhou City now. A few years ago, the Jurchens had beaten grass and grain into a barren land. Food needs to be purchased from within the pass and then transported to Jinzhou City. The price is naturally surprisingly expensive.
In addition, the problem of soldiers cannot be solved. Jinzhou City has not had new soldiers for many years. Obviously, the best way to solve both problems. It is to build a mausoleum.
Besides, with the current financial resources of the imperial court, money is really not a problem. Even if the court is still short of money, it can still borrow it from Shunfeng Bank! Now it depends on the courage of the court.
The key depends on whether the opinions of the cabinet and the emperor are consistent. This is the crux of the matter. If the cabinet and the emperor have different opinions. That's all out of the question.
Building a mausoleum is definitely a systematic project. There are still many issues involving all aspects. Building the mausoleum requires materials, a large number of craftsmen, and a large number of immigrants around Jinzhou City.
This requires a high degree of unity among the senior officials of the imperial court. There must be no internal friction. Otherwise, it would be better not to repair the mausoleum. Otherwise, it will definitely waste people and money, and the gain outweighs the loss.
Once the mausoleums around Jinzhou City are completed. Arrange a certain amount of guard force in the mausoleum. If the Jurchens come to thresh grass and grain again, there will be nothing to gain. It will definitely make the Jurchens unable to catch chickens and lose a lot of rice.
Of course, the mausoleum in Jinzhou City wants to achieve the effectiveness of the Liaodong Bureau. There is definitely still a long way to go. It is easy to build a mausoleum. The combat effectiveness of the guards in the mausoleum is much lower.
The combat strength of the guards in the mausoleum is expected to reach the level of the guards of the Liaodong Bureau. Even more impossible. This is only one aspect of the problem. The key is still the system of the mausoleum. Can it inspire the fighting spirit of the guards?
In fact, it’s just watching. Are the rights and obligations of the guards in the mausoleum equal? Can the enthusiasm of the guards be fully mobilized? All the bustle in the world is for benefit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit.
If the Zheng Dynasty does not give the guards very generous treatment. Look beyond the surface. Jinzhou City was eventually built into a mausoleum. They can only form a confrontation with the Jurchens.
It should not be possible to form an absolute advantage like the Liaodong Bureau. Jinzhou City can only imitate the shape of Liaodong Bureau, but cannot imitate the spirit of Liaodong Bureau.
The key depends on the senior officials of the Great Zheng Dynasty. How to weigh the stakes? Although the Zheng Dynasty never lacked smart people. There are even more capable and wise people emerging in endlessly.
But they don't know much about the situation in the Liaodong Bureau. Unlike Li Miao, who knows the Liaodong Bureau well. The essence can be seen at a glance.
Li Miao estimated that after Jinzhou City built the mausoleum, it would only send troops to garrison it. The army of the Great Zheng Dynasty is currently composed of Tian Yonggang and Wang Ziteng. Not too bad.
From now on, all the troops in the mausoleum will be handed over to Tian Yonggang. Wouldn’t the imperial court send someone to contain and balance it?
Obviously, it is impossible for the imperial court not to pay attention to balance. Otherwise, it would not be fun to keep Tian Yong's tail from falling off.
Thinking of this, Li Miao felt his head hurt. Count on such a corrupt court to succeed. It's obviously a bit whimsical. Painting a tiger cannot be compared to a dog. As long as the Dazheng court does not cause chaos, it will be fine.
Ever since there was a way to deal with Da Zheng Chao's dragon energy. Li Miao's expectations for the Dazheng Dynasty were much higher. I hope that the Dazheng Dynasty can last for a few more years and play a greater role.
Now it seems that Li Miao is still too naive. Many things will not go according to his ideas. Now Li Miao can only take one step at a time. Let’s see and do it!
Fortunately, Li Miao actually didn't expect the court to do anything from beginning to end. As for dealing with the Jurchens, Li Miao had already started planning.
First of all, there is the containment of the Liaodong Bureau. The Jurchens may not have the courage to make a desperate move. Even if the Jurchens take Jinzhou City and conquer Shanhaiguan.
Doesn't Li Miao still have Huludao and 300,000 immigrants on the line with Chengde Prefecture? Coupled with the support of the Northern Bureau. The strength is only stronger than that of the Liaodong Bureau. And it's not even a little stronger.
The Jurchens will definitely be given a huge surprise at that time. However, the Jurchens are the fastest and it will take two years. Only then can you enter the customs! Will Li Miao's northern forces still be afraid of the Jurchens?
Although they may not be able to defeat the Jurchens in the field. But if you use the farm defense, you will definitely not be afraid of the Jurchens. However, Li Miao still hopes that the Jurchens will enter the customs as late as possible.
By then the Jurchens may not even have the courage to fight. He who subdues the enemy's troops without fighting is a good person. In a few years, the Jurchens may not even have the courage to fight the Northern Bureau.
In the past few years, Li Miao's defense of the entire Zheng Dynasty has been completely completed. There are arrangements targeting the steppe Tatars, some targeting the Jurchens, and even those targeting the Western powers.
Now Li Miao's power is developing very well. All that's missing is time. Just give Li Miao a few years. Not only could Li Miao easily resist foreign enemies, but he could also peacefully take over the Zheng Dynasty without any problems.
In the face of absolute strength, everything is just a cloud. Li Miao now has a way to quickly transform it into dragon energy. Just wait for your power to grow rapidly.
Wait until the power grows to a certain extent. When Li Miao arrives, he only needs to climb up and shout! Looking at the world, who dares to disobey. Only then can we successfully take over the Great Zheng Dynasty without losing any blood.
The study room of Li Mansion returned to its previous state. Li Shi, Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan and others began to study hard again. The time for the imperial examination is getting closer and closer. Everyone is making the final push.
Li Miao suddenly discovered. Waiting in the guest room, Jia Baoyu's maid changed again. She is no longer the original Qingwen, she has been replaced by She Yue.
Li Miao knew several of the maids around Jia Baoyu. Li Miao did not see joy on She Yue's face. It was obvious that She Yue was not happy and looked worried.
There were only four maids around Jia Baoyu. In just a few months, She Yue has become the third attendant. Thinking of my ex and the ending of my ex. Is it strange that Musk Moon can be happy?
Li Miao guessed that something had happened to Qingwen. She Yue is one of the maids beside Jia Baoyu. In fact, he has always been Xiren's most important assistant. When the attacker is not in the yard, he is actually the head of the family.
Therefore, Musk Moon's ability is quite outstanding. These years have also been deeply influenced by Xiren. Now that Xiren is with Old Mrs. Shi, he is living quite well. It's not as miserable as outsiders imagine.
The goal of the attacker is to leave the house. But because of Jia Baoyu's wedding a year ago. This year, no maids were released from the Rongguo Mansion. So we have to wait until the end of this year.
Fortunately, during the Spring Festival, Xiren was comforted by Li Miao several times. Xiren thought it would be good to stay in Rongguo Mansion. At least it's not difficult to see Li Miao.
Although Xiren is not the chief maid beside Mrs. Shi now. But the status is not low, where is the monthly chart?
Xiren usually does some errands, which is also Xiren's favorite. Xiren especially likes to run errands in Li's house. Li Miao would always find one reason or another to stay with Xi Ren for a while longer.
Xiren naturally enjoys this. So these days, Xiren is living a relatively comfortable life.
