In addition to Gu Sanmazi, although the other two Jiangyin Anti-Qing Dukes are not as capable as Yan Yingyuan, they can definitely help him if they are by Yan Yingyuan's side.
Sure enough, Yan Yingyuan saw that Duke Xingguo agreed to recommend Gu Sanmazi. Encouraged by this, he recommended Feng Houdun and Chen Mingyu.
Zhang Mingwei naturally agreed to this. The reason why he didn't recommend those two people before was because he wanted the most capable ones to do the work. But this does not mean that he does not recognize those two people.
Later, he asked Yan Yingyuan again, "If you have any other requests, put them forward before I leave. If I can solve them, I will solve them for you, so that you can deal with Jianlu with more peace of mind and guard Shanhaiguan!" "
After hearing this, Yan Yingyuan really had other ideas. He immediately said to Zhang Mingwei, "The general has counted that at least tens of thousands of horses were lost after the Battle of Songjin. The only horses left today are Among them, there were only thousands of thin horses and only 3,000 horsemen capable of fighting. Some were divided by the five guerrillas, and there were only about 1,000 left at Shanhaiguan. In addition to guard exploration, there were even more cavalry that could be used for maneuvers. few."
Speaking of this, there was a trace of desire in his eyes and he said, "If possible, I still hope to have more cavalry. In this way, the general will be more confident and can disturb Jianlu's peace!"
If the infantry landed to harass Jianlu, in order to escape intact, they would definitely not be able to go deep into the hinterland. Just harassing along the coast would have limited effect after all. Of course Zhang Mingwei also knew this.
Here at Shanhaiguan, the soldiers and civilians of Liaodong do not lack knights, but war horses. However, there must be no horses in the court! The only thing that can be found is the grassland!
However, the grassland at this time was already within Jianlu's sphere of influence, and it was not easy to obtain war horses.
Thinking like this, Zhang Mingwei replied to Yan Yingyuan, "I will think of a solution regarding the war horses. But it won't be possible for a while. The initial harassment on your side should be done before Jianlu can think of it, be quick, accurate and ruthless, and make money first." He’ll say it later!”
After hearing this, Yan Yingyuan knew that this matter was indeed difficult, so he quickly replied, "Don't worry, Lord, I will not miss the initial opportunity!"
Apart from that, he had nothing else to do and resigned.
Afterwards, Zhang Mingwei rejected the others and asked Princess Kunxing to write a memorial, describing the ability of those people recommended by Yan Yingyuan, their deeds in later generations, and the benefits of arranging for them to come to Shanhaiguan, and then sent it to the capital.
No matter what, he only has the right to make suggestions for this kind of employment, but Emperor Chongzhen will definitely listen.
After Zhu Yuyao watched a royal guard send the memorial away, she asked curiously, "Sir, isn't the navy planning to use Zheng Chenggong?"
The name Zheng Chenggong was impossible to get around in the late Ming Dynasty. Therefore, his deeds have been included in previously broadcast documentaries. Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Aona and others naturally knew him.
After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei said with a smile, "Now he is just a scholar. Our Ming Dynasty's most powerful navy is still in the hands of the old fox Zheng Zhilong. I am not sure that if the imperial court orders it, he will lead the fleet." Go north."
Having said this, he paused, with a sneer on his face and said, "But I guess Zheng Zhilong at this time no longer has the vigor he had in his early years. His affairs will be decided after returning to the capital to discuss with His Majesty."
In the lobby, there happened to be a map of Liaodong. Zhang Mingwei walked over, patted the area between Lushun and the Yalu River Estuary with his hand, and said in a positive tone, "His navy is strong enough. My idea is to arrange it here to rebuild the Dongjiang River." Town, contain the Jianlu from the side, so that the Jianlu will no longer dare to take a detour through the grassland to attack our Ming Dynasty!"
This trick is almost universally understood by future generations who like to read the history of the late Ming Dynasty. If someone traveled through time, they would definitely deal with Jianlu like this.
In fact, people in this era have not thought about it. However, the rebellions of Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi left Ming Dynasty without the strength to rebuild Dongjiang Town.
After they rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, it was under their leadership that the Jianlu suppressed the rebels along the Liaodong coast. All facilities on the islands were destroyed, and the island's population was either killed or plundered to the hinterland of Liaodong.
In the last years of Chongzhen, it was already very difficult to rebuild Dongjiang Town. Not only is a strong navy needed, but also enough supplies to support the reconstruction of Dongjiang Town.
At this time, the imperial court could not even pay military salaries, so how could it find the financial resources to rebuild. Therefore, after Dongjiang Town was destroyed, there was no more Dongjiang Town.
At this time, before Zhang Mingwei turned and left the map, he continued to say to Zhu Yuyao, "With the example of Yan Yingyuan and his recommendation, Gu Sanmazi will definitely not have any doubts. As soon as the imperial edict arrives, he will definitely be able to lead the fleet north." Although its scale is not large, with the remaining ships on the Denglai front line, it should be enough for Shanhaiguan to use to maneuver its troops and disrupt the establishment of captives."
"Oh!" After hearing this, Zhu Ainao nodded thoughtfully with a look of enlightenment.
At this time, it was obvious that she had been studying.
One day later, Zhang Luofu and Jin Zhensun led the expanded Yongwei Camp, which was actually the Beijing Camp, back to the capital first.
However, Zhang Mingwei and Zhu Yuluo did not follow them back to Beijing. Instead, under the escort of Zhou Yuji and his wife, they inspected the resettlement of Liao people and the combat readiness of the Great Wall defense line along the Great Wall.
Regarding the matter of dealing with the Jianlu, we must do everything well, otherwise, if one part is not done well, the success will easily fail. Therefore, Zhang Mingwei had to inspect the Great Wall defense line before he could return to the capital with peace of mind and focus on dealing with the bandits.
The Great Wall defense line does not rely solely on the Great Wall, but a complete defense system inside and outside the Great Wall. Including pier warning, beacon tower communication, military town military garrison, etc.
It has to be said that Zuo Ying has his own way of doing defensive things. Various matters include garrisoning troops, building fortifications, clearing wasteland for farming, building garrison accommodation, etc. Busy figures can be seen everywhere, and the scene is full of vitality.
During Zhang Mingwei's inspection, he also found that the soldiers and civilians of Liaodong were full of energy. In response, he said with satisfaction to Zuo Yingxuan, who came after hearing the news, "Well done!"
Unexpectedly, after Zuo Yingxuan heard this, he shook his head and said, "This is all the credit of the Duke, and the lower officials do not take the credit!"
"..." Zhang Mingwei was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Then he pointed at Zuo Yingxuan and said with a smile, "How come you have learned to suck up? I don't like this!"
Zuo Yingxuan listened with a very serious expression and said solemnly, "What the official said is just the truth. If the Duke of the country hadn't paid them back wages and cashed in the compensation for the loss of their fields outside the customs, they would have also shared the money." We will give them fields to plant and let them know that they will live better here. No matter how talented the official is, he will never be able to let them be so motivated!"
The implication is that it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw! Without Zhang Mingwei preparing rice oil for him, no matter how good he was, he wouldn't be able to make anything to eat.
This was true. Zhang Mingwei felt happy after hearing it.
But Zuo Yingxuan continued to say, "Also, if it weren't for the power of the Duke of the country, it would be difficult for these places to cooperate. Even if they are acting in a positive and negative way, it would never be so easy for the lower officials to do their jobs!"
"Oh?" Zhang Mingwei was a little surprised when he heard this.
"The imperial court's decree is that half of the tax exemptions and half of the tax exemptions will be used to prevent thieves and captives." Zuo Yingxuan quickly explained, "Xiaguan has been a local official for many years, so he knows the place even better. As far as Xiaguan knows Yes, if the local officials really want to implement this decree and ask for money and food from the squires, I am afraid that few people have the courage. The reason is very simple. Nowadays, among the squires in the Ming Dynasty, there is someone behind the scenes. If it is not a strong order, who dares to ask for it? Money and food?”
Having said this, he paused and continued as if he was deeply moved, "Although they were following the order, those squires could not resist on the surface, but they often turned their backs and went about their activities. The court did not distinguish between right and wrong, and took a The local magistrate can easily be punished for other crimes! In this case, with Mingzhe protecting his body, this decree is probably just a decree!"
After saying this, Zuo Yingxuan looked at Zhang Mingwei, his eyes seemed to become brighter, and his voice became louder and said, "However, the Duke punished the magistrate of Fangshan County with thunderous force, and now, the Duke And won the trust of His Majesty. After the news spread, the squires knew that the people behind them were not easy to deal with. In this way, this decree can be implemented. The lower officials also benefited a lot, and everything they did was easy. A lot!"
Zhang Mingwei was very satisfied after hearing this. In the case of Fangshan County Magistrate, he dealt with it severely with the purpose of killing chickens and frightening monkeys, and directly used his power to make a killing. I just want to tell other local officials not to be submissive and not to play tricks.
Of course, he also knew that the biggest reason for shocking the place was not actually killing a Fangshan County Magistrate. But the power of his Xingguogong is now unmatched by anyone. No matter how many officials try to impeach him, in the end it will be those who impeach him who will be unlucky. In this way, the unwilling squires were truly suppressed.
Thinking of this, Zhang Mingwei still smiled and praised Zuo Yingxuan and said, "Haha, no matter how good the idea is in the court, if it doesn't have capable officials to implement it, it will be nothing more than a mirror image. The princess and I both admire your ability." If you see it, the emperor will definitely be very happy!"
Zuo Yingxuan was naturally happy when he heard it.
This atmosphere, with each other "complimenting" each other, is actually very harmonious.
However, at this moment, a noise was heard from the front. Moreover, a large number of people stopped working and were all watching.
This situation made Zuo Yingxuan blush, and he immediately went over to check the situation.
Zhang Mingwei saw it and walked over, wanting to see what happened?
