Zhangjiakou.
After only a few days, the depression in Zhangjiakou changed again.
Several Mongolian departments knocked on the border, and all the six border towns in Xuanfu were martial law. Zhangjiakou, which was under the leadership of Mongolian soldiers, was gathered in heavy troops at this moment.
Zhou Yuji took office as the general of Xuanfu for more than half a year, and the entire Xuanfu also enjoyed a wealthy life that he had not enjoyed for many years!
At the beginning of his tenure, in addition to the more than a thousand elite soldiers who took office with Zhou Yuji, he also brought up as much as 500,000 taels of silver and 100,000 stones of food and grass.
Then Li Xiu allocated more than 100,000 taels of silver and weapons one after another. With such a sufficient supply and the support of Li Xiu, Zhou Yuji, the general, actually felt quite satisfied.
At present, the sixth road of Xuanfu, the border walls of 1,116 miles, the border piers of 1,274, and the entrances of 192 have all been repaired to a certain extent.
Of course, the most important thing is the rectification of the army.
Now, after more than half a year of training, there is sufficient supply of wealth and supplies, and more than a thousand elite brave guards as the skeleton, the Xuanfu tens of thousands of troops have taken shape.
If you are aggressive, there may be shortcomings, but if you are just sticking, there will be no problem.
Zhou Yuji is naturally confident in this regard.
Therefore, there were more than 10,000 iron cavalry knocking on the edge of several Mongolian departments in front of me, and Zhou Huiji would not be worried about anything.
He also naturally knew that the current Mongolian knocking on the border was absolutely inseparable from the group of Shanxi merchants. In this case, if someone else would be afraid, but for him, Zhou Yuji, he was naturally not afraid at all.
He knew very well the nature of his general. He wanted to do something that could not stop any difficulties and obstacles. The only thing he had to pray was to never stand against him, otherwise, life would be a trivial matter and all nine tribes would be killed. He would not show any mercy.
In his opinion, no matter how happy or the serious the Shanxi merchants are, they are just making their death more ugly.
The tens of thousands of troops in Xuanfu were enough to completely wipe them out easily!
What he is worried about now is just the Mongolian cavalry in front of him.
He was a confidant of Li Xiuzhi, so he naturally knew the plans of his general. Nowadays, the situation in the border is mainly focused on guarding, and it is definitely not a time to start border affairs.
To fight against foreign countries, one must first settle the country. This sentence was once a national policy confirmed by Li Xiu and Zhu Youjian.
But this time, Mongolia knocked on the edge, but Li Xiu had a different idea.
What he needs to consider now is not only the internal and external strategic situation, but also the most important point, that is, Zhu Youjian’s physical condition!
Now that Zhu Youjian's body is unknown, he needs to stay in the capital to prevent any accidents.
But if Zhu Youjian dies, he will never be able to leave the capital for a long time.
If Li Xiu made a choice between the two, it is obvious that it is best to take advantage of Zhu Youjian's current presence and take action to clear some obstacles and make plans in advance.
"Brother Li, do you want to go out to the battle in person?"
After hearing this proposal, Zhu Youjian was also a little unconscious. This seemed to be completely beyond the scope of the two of them!
"Eliminating the Shanxi merchants is just a treatment of symptoms but not the root cause. Now the Later Jin Dynasty still has an absolute advantage in Mongolia. The uneven grasslands are also impossible to eradicate the Shanxi merchants!"
"Furthermore, the Later Jin Dynasty has always been the biggest concern. If we impose the grasslands on the tribes of the Later Jin Dynasty, we will strengthen these tribes and win over Lin Danhan..."
"Then, the Later Jin Dynasty will be locked in the bitter and cold land of Liaodong. If you want to have a way out, there will be only two ways. You either go to eat the turtle shell of Liao Town, or you can only fight with Mongolia again."
"In this case, the Ming Dynasty only needs to increase its support to Mongolia and can watch Mongolia and the Later Golden Dog bite the dog with peace of mind..."
"But if the Later Jin sent troops to support the grassland?"
Zhu Youjian was a little worried.
"If Liao Town is useful, then this battle will become a national war!"
Li Xiu looked at Zhu Youjian and said this in a deep voice.
This words came into my ears. Zhu Youjian's eyes suddenly appeared and stood up suddenly. His eyes gathered on the Daming Qiankun diagram behind him. There was an uncontrollable excitement between his eyebrows. After a while, a slightly unstable voice slowly rang out.
"Civil camp, can it be used?"
"There is more than enough defense, but there is less progress!"
Li Xiu shook his head. The training of the Beijing camp has lasted for more than half a year. Although his combat effectiveness is not an absolute elite, it is definitely much stronger than other Ming armies.
But if this battle begins, the problem is not the combat effectiveness of the Beijing Camp, but the Liao Town!
The plate of Hou Jin is so big. To support the grassland, the main force must be dispatched.
And when the main force is dispatched, the old nest of the Later Jin will definitely be empty.
If Liao Town can take advantage of the opportunity, it will naturally take advantage of the situation to start a national war!
But if Liao Town is unbearable and unwilling to do its best, or if you have the intention to hold the enemy to respect yourself, even if the main force of the Beijing camp is transferred to Liao Town, it will not be of much use. Maybe it will be a thousand miles away to send people to death and destroy elites in vain.
Therefore, whether it is now or in the future, Liaozhen is an inseparable link in order to do its best to the Later Jin Dynasty!
But Liao Town is different. From the history of Yuan Chonghuan being arrested, Zu Dashou led his army to flee back to Liao Town, but the court had no choice but to see clearly the special features of Liao Town.
Although it is not called a vassal state, it already has the reality of a vassal state!
The officials sent by the court either joined forces or excluded officials!
Only these two ends.
As for the special status of Liao Town, it is not easy to rectify Liao Town.
Even the Shanxi merchants can make such a big noise when their own interests are violated, let alone the group of warlords and vassal states in Liao Town. They are in a hurry to jump over the wall and do anything can be done!
"Liao Town..."
Zhu Youjian also sighed, how could he not know the dangers of Liao Town? It was even tacitly understood in the court and the country.
Over the years, under the policy of the Liao people defending Liao territory, a deeply rooted general group has long been formed.
The existence of the Later Jin made no one dare to touch the general group lightly, and could only sit back and watch it grow little by little!
Yuan Chonghuan was appointed as the commander of Ji Liao, and Nurhaci was in a long journey. He had to worry about Liao Town so much that he had to take the post of Ji Liao. As for the rest, no one mentioned it again. The reason was already very clear.
The only thing I am glad that Liao Town is finally no longer the only one to rely on!
"If Liao Town is not useful, then Brother Li, what are you going to do?"
"Then follow the strategic plan just now, the military strike is limited to the grassland!"
"The General of the Imperial Palace personally led 30,000 cavalry and set out secretly. After the General of the Imperial Palace arrives at Xuanfu, Your Majesty, you will order the Beijing camp to mobilize tens of thousands of troops to go to Liao Town. At the same time, you will order Liao Town and Dongjiang to be on guard and put on a decisive battle!"
"In this way, even if Liao Town is unusable, the Later Jin Dynasty would never dare to make too many moves!"
"When Mongolia is pacified, the Later Jin Dynasty will be completely trapped in internal and external troubles for a long time in the future, and it will be difficult to have too much impact on the Ming Dynasty."
"The Ming Dynasty can safely eliminate internal troubles and accumulate strength. One day, the last general will lead a large army and go out to three groups, attack the rear of Dongjiang, attack the Mongolian side troops, and attack the Liao Town!
