On the second day of the third month of the 11th year of Wanli, Liaodong Jiebao entered Beijing:

In the past, there were Liaodong Yehe Department Qing Yang Er Nu who provoked the army, and together with the Mongolian Rabbit and Trance Tai and other chiefs to attack the Hada Department, Fu Chen's text forbade it, and the two slaves were proclaimed, and they did not obey. Liaodong Fuchen Gao Pragmatic is to lure the two slaves to Kaiyuan with the city circle, and the inside and outside should be combined, and the two slaves and their sons Wusun Polo, Har Hama and the general Bai Huchi and other slaves were killed, and the first rank was 3111.

Waiying Liaoyang's deputy commander-in-chief Cao Yan and the Tashan Left Guard's commander made Meng Gebulu and other ambushes in all directions, completely annihilated the captives outside the city, and obtained 1,682 first-class soldiers, and obtained horses, weapons, clothing and armor and other things.

Liaodong Fuchen is pragmatic, and Shandong is based on the nine regions of Chen'an.

Evacuated into the cabinet, the cabinet ministers agreed, and as usual, the votes were sent to the celebrant supervisor.

Shang Guan, Zhu Pi: Meritorious officials should be preferential, officers and soldiers who died in battle should be preferential, and the second slave left the Yi Department, that is, as the town council, all under the constraints of Mengebulu. According to the original few horses in Liaodi, the price of horses is not enough, in addition to the original amount of 40,000, the amount is added to 10,000 taels as an annual example, and then 20,000 taels are issued to make up for the lack of this levy, all of which are paid in the Taifu Temple.

Shangqi Liaodong even won the battle, and then edicted: Liang Menglong and the prince Shaobao, Yin Yizi Jinyi Wei thousands of hereditary households, rewarded with fifty taels of silver, and four tables of silk.

Gao pragmatic promotion of the right squire of the military department and the right of the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, as usual, the governor of the old one, the son of Yin Jinyi Wei thousand hereditary households, the reward of forty taels of silver, four tables of silk, and Menglong each gave a due order.

Li Chengliang was promoted to the first level, and 200 stones of rice were added; Cao Yan was promoted to the first level, and Lu rice was added to 100 stones; Cao Jiansheng Tieling guerrilla, rewarded 20 taels of silver, and 2 silk tables.

Wang Mian (Kaiyuan Bingbei Dao) was promoted to the first level, and the silk was two tables, and the reward was thirty taels of silver, and fifty stones of rice were added; Yang Yuan (Kaiyuan Staff General) was promoted to the first level, and added 30 stones of rice.

Each of them will be promoted to one level, and ten taels of silver will be rewarded, and they will be used in case of shortage. The rest is up to you.

The sergeant fought hard in a bloody battle, and the price of the horse was 20,000 taels of silver, and a member of the branch minister was rewarded, and the official was rewarded, and the officer was surveyed separately.

The dispatch of this soldier is meritorious, Wu is rewarded with fifty taels of silver, and four silk are in the table; The left and right waiters each rewarded twenty taels of silver, and two silk tables; The priest was rewarded with ten taels of silver; The remaining eight taels each.

……

This time, Gao Pragmatic's credit was not only himself and the subordinates who commanded and transferred at that time, but not only Liang Menglong, the governor of Jiliao, followed him, but also led the military department from Shangshu, Shilang to Langzhong.

Li Chengliang, who was "at the same level", was the commander of Liaodong and Cao Yan's boss who actually fought this time, and he also received the same reward as Cao Yan.

Among the generals, the most "lucky" this time is Cao Jian, the younger brother of Cao Yan, this guy did not get much benefit in the last battle of southern Liaoning, but this time it was the first merit of "conscription", and he was promoted to a real position as a Tieling guerrilla general from the commander of the guard.

However, I don't know what Zhu Yijun thinks, so he set him up as a Tieling guerrilla, which at first glance looks like he was mocking Li Chengliang.

Of course, Zhu Yijun, as the emperor, has no need to ridicule his courtiers, he has a basis for doing so - the last time the Tieling Wei was broken by the Tumen, and the ancestral tomb of Li Chengliang's family was insulted by the Tumen, the responsibility of the Tieling guerrilla at that time had not yet been liquidated, and now it is just a matter of a rod, so it can be taken care of together, as for what Li Chengliang thinks...... Anyway, he was rewarded, and it was certainly hard to say anything.

Gao Pragmatic continued to play his consistent style of being a favored minister of the Son of Heaven, and he was still rewarded for his merits, and he won the title of the right attendant of the military department.

It stands to reason that it is not a miracle in itself that the frontier ministers have obtained important military merits and are added to the rank of the right attendant of the military department, and it is even a common practice to some extent, but the problem is that Gao Shishi's original position was the right servant of the Imperial Palace, and now he has become the right attendant of the military department.

The biggest difference between this is not that he has changed the yamen, but that the right hand of the Imperial Court of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is only the fourth grade, while the right attendant of the military department is an upright third-grade member!

To put it simply, this position is the real so-called imperial court member.

Although the system of the Ming Dynasty is more peculiar, sometimes the grade is not so reliable - just like the second-rank political envoy even calls himself a "lower official" in front of the seven-rank patrol imperial history.

However, the right squire of the military department and the right servant of the imperial history are not ordinary positions, and both positions have their particularities.

For example, after the reform of the high arch (the military department was originally a squire on the left and right, and the high arch was changed to two on the left and right, this is a historical fact), there are a total of two in Beijing, one of whom is serious in the military department, called the hall official, so that one is very likely to concurrently serve as the "assistant Beijing camp Rong Zheng".

These two right attendants of the military department are actually serious right attendants of the military department, and the rest of the foreign governors and governors, although they often add the rank of left and right attendants of the military department, but they are all considered from the "level", and in fact cannot participate in the affairs of the military department.

However, it is not uncommon for a governor to add a military attendant, but it is rare for a governor to add a military attendant. The governor and the squire of the military department mean that there is a more critical issue, that is, the governor will have a great say in the military affairs of the town.

Generally speaking, the governor is biased towards military affairs, and the governor is biased towards government affairs, once the governor also adds a military minister, it is very likely that the governor's military power will be violated, and it is easy to cause the power of affairs to be inconsistent at some times, resulting in some inconvenient troubles, so the imperial court is still more cautious about adding the rank of military department to the governor of various places.

But Zhu Yijun may have considered that the current Jiliao Governor Liang Menglong has a special relationship with Gao Shishi, and Liang Menglong himself is also very shrewd, and after Gao Shizheng pacified Liao, he almost never asked about the military affairs of Liaodong, so Zhu Yijun simply hinted more obviously - in fact, this is almost explicit for a character like Liang Menglong.

What is explicit?

What is clearly indicated is that you can leave the military affairs of Liaodong and Liang Zhijun alone, and hand it over to Gao Fujun.

It's hard to say what Liang Menglong himself will think of this matter, but Zhu Yijun is not in a hurry, he has other arrangements, and he thinks that it should be difficult to deal with the relationship with Liang Menglong.

Moreover, Liang Menglong also has an important matter to do now, and he will not seem to be idle because he does not ask about the affairs of Liaodong - he is now in charge of rebuilding the Daning Military Town.

The importance of this matter, as long as you think about the importance of Daning City before Yongle at the beginning, you can know that if Chengzu didn't get King Ning's Wuliangha Three Guards Cavalry, it would be difficult to say whether he would be able to successfully appease - of course, no one dared to say this sentence.

Qi Jiguang of Daning's city now has a very heavy task, first, to defend this lonely city hanging outside the Ming Dynasty, and second, to start training a new army, and these two things are directly related to Liang Menglong, the governor.

To defend Daning City, with Qi Jiguang here, as long as the materials continue, the problem is not big, and the material problem has basically been solved after Chataiji was stationed in the south of Daning City. Liang Menglong's main task is to do a good job of connecting Qi Jiguang and Toto, so as to avoid conflicts between the two top generals of Ming and Meng.

The difficulty lies in the formation and training of the new army.

Qi Jiguang was originally a "military training minister", after taking office in Jizhen, he has been responsible for the rotation training of the nine-sided border army for a long time, and after the battle of Monan, he began to guard Daning (his position has not changed, he is still the chief soldier of Jizhen), his rotation training border army task was temporarily put aside, and began to train the new Jizhen cavalry, as well as continue to strengthen the car battalion.

This incident shows that the imperial court is still very entangled in whether to engage in "riding by foot" or "riding by riding".

The performance of Qi Jiguang's car battalion in the Battle of Monan illustrates two problems: first, under the condition that the strength is basically equal, the car battalion that integrates the tactical idea of the hollow phalanx can completely beat the Mongolian cavalry; Second, if the Mongolian cavalry chooses to avoid the battle, the car battalion can only follow behind and eat fart, and the initiative of the war is still in the hands of the more mobile cavalry.

In this way, the center of the court is still trapped in the strange circle of the public saying that the public is justified and the mother-in-law saying that the mother-in-law is justified and cannot get out.

On the one hand, it is useless to develop the car battalion, because what the car battalion can do, Gao Pragmatic also did it with infantry in the Battle of Monan - Zhang Bingzhong, Zhang Wanbang and his son's famous battle is proof, and Zhang Wanbang even repeated it again in the Battle of Southern Liaoning, and resisted the breakthrough blow of the fried flower with the infantry, and made a great contribution to the capture of the fried flower.

But the Cheying faction also has a saying: Although the hollow phalanx tactics are powerful, Zhang Wanbang can't achieve zero casualties after all, and Qi Jiguang's Che Battalion's performance in the last battle is almost zero casualties, so the Che Battalion is still a strengthened version of the pure infantry hollow phalanx, and theoretically speaking, it should even be able to defeat the attacking Mongolian cavalry with inferior forces.

At the same time, although the car camp sounds like it costs a lot of money, in fact, it is not necessarily, because there is no shortage of carpenters in the Ming Dynasty, although the chariots such as the car camp also cost some iron, but the iron parts are generally not much lost, most of them can be recycled, and the only relatively large spending item is the "spring" that only Jinghua can produce on the new tank, but Jinghua has also made it clear that after accumulating enough experience in long-term and mass production, the cost of the spring is expected to be reduced.

Don't look at the Ming Dynasty has always been known for its "many soldiers", in fact, the Ming army's patience with casualties is not high - one of the main reasons why the Ming army is prone to collapse in the later period in history is that the tolerance for injuries is poor, and even casualties can lead to the collapse of the whole army. Of course, this refers to the general troops, not counting the Jiading troops, especially not Qi Jiguang's "legacy", the last battle of the 3,000 Zhejiang army was directly defeated.

Of course, the center of the imperial court was aware of this situation, so the main advantages of the chariot battalion were emphasized: it could defeat the Mongol cavalry and its own battle losses were very low, and the cost was not particularly large, at least much cheaper than the cavalry.

But the cavalry faction also has the rhetoric of the cavalry faction: what really determines the outcome of the battle of Monan is the cavalry duel in the final analysis. And the embarrassment that made Daming hide it with great brag was that the actual main force of this battle was still the Mongolian cavalry against the Mongolian cavalry.

The victory of the Ming Dynasty was mainly due to Gao Shishi's control of Hannaji, Zhongjin Hatun and Chataiji, which enabled the Ming Dynasty to complete a perfect "razing to raze".

That is to say, although winning is winning, but the main battle is not fought by oneself, when no one asks themselves, everyone is inevitably a little suspicious about whether this battle is the victory of the Ming Dynasty or the victory of Tumut.

Therefore, in the eyes of the cavalry faction, Ma Fang's insistence on riding back then was what the Ming Dynasty really needed to put effort into implementing.

Especially after the recovery of Daning, the Ming army had a land for raising horses to some extent, and the cavalry faction strongly recommended the establishment of a new Yuanma Temple in Daning to raise horses and supply cavalry.

Of course, this matter is not something that can be achieved overnight, not to mention that Daning City has just arrived, and how to use the surrounding horse breeding land is also a big problem - that place has almost become a no-man's land after Changang gave up, and if you want to raise horses, you have to migrate the population first, and this kind of thing may not be effective for three or five years.

It's just that if it's slow, it doesn't mean that it shouldn't be done, and what should be fought for, the cavalry faction still fights for it strongly, as for where to find someone to raise horses, isn't this an errand for the cabinet, the Sixth Ministry and the governor of Jiliao?

In the end, there was a stalemate within the court on this matter, and Zhu Yijun couldn't decide, so he simply took a two-pronged approach, both of which were done first, and then decided after seeing the actual results.

At this time, it can be seen that the wisdom of the high-arch sea opening policy has come, if it weren't for the tariffs of those ports rising year by year, Zhu Yijun could spend money so generously? Daming is not Spain, if you want to spend money, you have to have it, the emperor goes to take out a loan, there is no such thing in Daming, Gao Pragmatic took the initiative to lend money to Zhu Yijun, Zhu Yijun directly refused.

So Liang Menglong is not worried about having nothing to do now, he can put aside the affairs of Liaodong and do a good job on Daning's side with peace of mind, which is Zhu Yijun's expectation, Zhu Yijun thinks that Liang Menglong should be able to understand it.

When the edict was sent to Liaodong, Gao Shishi had already gone south from Kaiyuan, but he had not yet arrived in Liaoyang, but was temporarily resting in Shenyang, and by the way inspected the armaments of various guards in Shenyang.

Specifically, he went to Fushun Pass, which was managed by the Fushun Thousand Households under the jurisdiction of Shenyang Zhongwei.

The reason why the dignified governor actually went to a pass to check it in person was mainly because he wanted to see Fushun Pass, the important pass closest to Salhu, with his own eyes.

You know, in the original history, Nurhachi rebelled against the Ming Dynasty in the 46th year of Wanli, and the first shot was to Fushun Pass, and the traitor Li Yongfang was the defender of Fushun City at that time (Fushun City Reserve), he surrendered directly after Fushun Pass was broken and the Jurchen soldiers had surrounded Fushun City, resulting in the Jurchen soldiers taking this important town in Liaodong without much effort.

At that time, Nurhachi took a three-day truce in Fushun City, plundered more than 300,000 people and animals, and set fire to Fushun City before leaving. Since then, until the twenty-first year of the Kangxi reign of the Taqing Dynasty, Fushun City was still a scene of ruins, with only a dozen families scattered.

Gao Pragmatic just wants to see if Fushun City and Fushun Pass are not good at city defense, or Li Yongfang is a traitor.

However, he had just arrived in Fushun, and the holy will of adding him to the right attendant of the military department had arrived. Gao pragmatically and calmly accepted the order, secretly pondering Zhu Yijun's intentions in his heart.

On the surface, this is just "adding officials according to the rules", after all, a previous holy decree first said the principle, the first one is that "meritorious officials should be preferential", but Gao Shishi knew that Zhu Yijun was reminding him.

When you go to Liaodong, the fundamental purpose is not just to fight, but to help me sort out the military affairs of Liaodong - how is Li Chengliang's affairs handled? Is it because there is one east and one west, and Li Chengliang is Ning Yuanbo, so you don't have enough power to control it? Okay, I'll give you another rank of right squire in the military department, do a good job.

It is not surprising that Emperor Wanli often did in the original history to help select his subordinates to eliminate interference and strengthen his authority, and it is not surprising that he is pragmatic, but the Wanli Emperor in history must also require "achievements" after giving his subordinates the right to appoint, so Gao pragmatic has to turn his attention back from other things and consider Li Chengliang's problem first.
