Zhu Youxiao looked at the report on the money and grain collected by the Ministry of Revenue and the data on Qingtun, and thought about the income from the house search, and couldn't help but scold him.

Realizing the strength of the court, the emperor's iron fist, and the self-inspection and self-correction of civil officials and military generals also went smoothly.

Of course, there are those who are lucky enough to continue to deceive. But what is waiting for them is the next severe punishment.

I have given you a chance. If you don’t cherish it, don’t blame me for being ruthless.

Zhu Youxiao put down the tea bowl and said, "Wu Yongxian, the governor of Ji Liao, was responsible for his duties, and gave him jade gui, rhinoceros belt, and rewarded him with a hundred taels of silver."

Zhu Youxiao was not very satisfied with the appointment of Wu Yongxian at first, but it turned out that he also had times when he misunderstood.

Since Wu Yongxian took office, he has led the army to repair border defense fortresses, which has achieved great results. He also organized military and civilians to mine and generate income, solved the shortage of food and salary in Ji Liao, and saved a lot of expenses for the court.

Zhu Youxiao was merciless to corrupt officials and officials who had no practical ability to work. However, he was also stingy to reward promotions for those who worked hard.

In addition to Wu Yongxian, Dong Yingju, who was engaged in military farming and restoring the people from Tianjin to Shanhai, was also commended by Zhu Youxiao for his dedication and willingness to work hard. He was promoted to the right censor and was still in charge of military farming.

With both kindness and power, Zhu Youxiao did not want to bear the bad reputation of being ruthless and merciless.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao knew that he was scolding himself more behind his back now. But with the change of the official atmosphere and the increase in the number of officials promoted and appointed by himself, this trend will also be reversed.

Well, the most important thing is that you have to work hard and work hard to live a long-term life.

It’s so good to be young. Not only can you kill the old slave, but you also have to kill Huang Taiji.

When all the guys who hate them die, they are still alive and they don’t even have the chance to write books and scold them.

Haha, you said, this is so annoying!

Shenyang.

Since Guangning's failure and retreated, the haze has been shrouded on Jiannu's head for a long time.

Originally, victory or defeat of military strategists was common, but for Jiannu, they did not have much capital to bear such failure.

After the main force of Jiannu retreated, he made another defense. Although it stopped the attacks of the Ming army, it was difficult to assemble and attack for a long time.

The most important thing is that Jiannu still couldn't figure out the situation and did not understand why this battle was frustrated.

Of course, it is not easy to say that you are good at fighting in the field but are not too clumsy to attack the city. But the final defeat seems to be not because of this. At least, the main reason for the defeat cannot be attributed to the tactical level.

"The Ming army in Guangning reacted too quickly." Although the old slave had never mentioned it in front of most Beile and the generals, he was always confused in his mind.

Another doubt of Lao Nu was: "The Ming army in Dengzhen, Jinzhen, and Mao Wenlong's remnants of defeated soldiers were beyond expectations-"

But no one can answer Lao Nu’s doubts. The success of the war at the beginning, the sudden decline of the sudden setbacks, and the huge contrast made Lao Nu still difficult to let go.

The old slave shook his head again, looking at the map hanging on the wall, eager to know if the secret spies sent could spy on useful information.

"Father Khan." Huang Taiji entered the house to salute, looking dusty.

The old slave nodded slightly, pointed to the chair, and asked, "I heard that the enemy retreated to Ningyuan, Juehua, what are you doing now?"

Huang Taiji waited for his father to sit down before he sat down respectfully and said, "The enemy is in Jinzhou and the Daling River has a small number of outpost troops, and the children cannot approach the close reconnaissance."

After pausing, Huang Taiji added: "However, through some scattered Mongolians, the child learned that the main force of the Ming army was indeed stationed in Ningyuan and Juehua. Some time ago, there were also large-scale constructions there to strengthen the city."

The old slave turned his eyes to the map on the wall, and said to himself: "What is the purpose of the Ming army giving up Guangning and other places? Could it be that they are afraid of our army, or abandoning western Liaoning, so as to change their peace and stability?"

Before Huang Taiji could answer, the old slave shook his head and said, "There are fears, but it is impossible to trade land for peace."

Huang Taiji pondered for a moment and said, "According to the child's opinion, the Ming army won but retreated. It was really cunning and insidious, and had the intention to seduce our army."

The old slave nodded, agreeing more with this statement.

If the Ming army was still stationed in Guangning, only across the Liaohe area, and with the mobility of the Later Jin army, they could still find opportunities to attack quickly.

But the Ming army retreated to Ningyuan, leaving a large blank area, which made the Later Jin feel very awkward and lost the suddenness of the attack.

If the Later Jin army advanced forward to occupy the city and shortened the distance between the two armies, not only would the troops be dispersed, but the food, grass and materials needed to garrison the city, as well as land transportation, were not easily affordable.

You said that it would be enough to drive out the Liao people in the occupied areas to farm. What should I do if I do this from planting to harvesting in the past few months? Can I drink the northwest wind?

It is precisely because of this difficulty that the Later Jin Dynasty has never occupied the blank areas from Guangning to Jinzhou in history.

They waited for the Ming army to "recover" the lost land, build a city to defend, and then put out a sudden and rapid strike. They grabbed one, killed one again, and then retreated across the Liaohe River.

The old slave now has the same idea. He has no desire to send troops to occupy this large area that the Ming army took the initiative to give up.

The Battle of Guangning was defeated, which made the Later Jin insufficient supplies; the Liaohe River, Dalinghe River, Sancha River and other rivers also encountered many difficulties in the operations of the Later Jin army.

Therefore, by winter and when the river freezes, the old slave has decided to send troops to start the war again.

There is no way, if you cannot plunder food, supplies, money, silk, and the survival of the Later Jin Dynasty will be a problem, let alone win over the Mongolian tribes.

No one is a fool, there is no benefit, who will follow the pauper to hang out?

But the old slave still had concerns, but he couldn't understand the reason for Guangning's frustration, and he couldn't figure out whose arrangements and planning were the ones that made him taste the bitter fruit of the first failure.

If you don’t figure out this matter, you will unhappy the knot and will always hesitate and hesitate to send troops to start a war.

"The Ming army retreated and left a large area of ​​unmanned areas, which made it difficult for our spies to conduct further reconnaissance." Huang Taiji frowned slightly and said, "There are no people left in Ningyuan City. If you want to get involved in spies or internal agents, you can't."

The old slave narrowed his eyes and felt very difficult. He said helplessly: "Attacking the city is not the director of our army. There are still several months left in winter. If you need to train the city to attack, you may have some improvement."

Huang Taiji bowed and said, "Father Khan, let me leave the training of siege to the child!"

The old slave looked at the eight son with great satisfaction and praised: "Among all the bells, you are the most wise and insightful. You can do the training of the siege troops!"

Huang Taiji hurriedly stood up and bowed, and said, "Don't worry, father Khan, the child will definitely train a force that is good at siege and build sharp siege weapons."

The old slave smiled and pressed his hands down, signaling his eighth son to sit down. Just as he was about to speak and explain a few more words, the personal soldiers outside came inside to report that the Fushun prince and two secret spies were waiting for him to see him.

"Let them come in quickly." Lao Nu was so energetic that he turned to Huang Taiji and said, "You can listen together."

Huang Taiji said, and he also wanted to hear the latest information about the Ming army and the Ming Kingdom.

Since the Ming army retreated and moved all the people in western Liaoning. Coupled with the coastal blockade, the intelligence channels of the Later Jin Dynasty almost completely blocked, making Lao Nu and Huang Taiji feel blind and deaf.
