The second lady is also a great honor.

Wu Xuexia gratefully thanked Zhang Meiyuan and thanked other women.

Wei Bao saw that the women were getting along well, and liked it in his heart, "Okay, I'll go find Gaodi." ”

A group of women stopped chattering and sent President Wei out.

When Wei Bao arrived at Gao Di's mansion, he first thanked him for his kindness: "Lord Gao, you gave me a very valuable gift, how can I repay this kindness?" ”

"Lord Wei came over so soon? What else did you come over and do in person? When you got married, although I congratulated you, but there were too many people at that time, and I didn't congratulate you, no, I thought of this treasure after drinking today, and I don't have anything valuable at home, and I'm a person who can't save money, so I simply gave Master Wei, a rich man, this time, the owner of the thing. Gaudi laughed.

Wei Bao couldn't help nodding again and again, secretly thinking that the old rivers and lakes are the old rivers and lakes, look at the level of people's high and tall people?

Obviously, he gave such a valuable thing to himself, but it was as if he had taken advantage of himself.

"How can I repay such a heavy gift?" Wei Bao said sincerely.

"If you can't talk about it, you're all good friends." Gao Di said enthusiastically: "Lord Wei, please come into the main hall and drink tea." ”

Gao Di said, and said loudly to the housekeeper, "Didn't you see Master Wei coming?" Don't let people serve tea, serve the best tea. ”

The housekeeper hurriedly answered and went to Zhang Luo.

"Lord Gao is too polite." Wei Bao smiled embarrassedly.

"Master Wei is polite, it's just an object, do you still need to run this trip in person?" Gaudi laughed.

Wei Bao made a gesture of please.

Gaudi also made a gesture of please.

After a period of greetings, Wei Bao got straight to the point and said: "Lord Gao, don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, since the imperial court has appointed Lord Gao as the strategy of Liaodong, in fact, the meaning is very clear, I want to get rid of my mentor Sun Chengzong, but my mentor Sun Chengzong is the emperor, with high prestige, and he took the initiative to join the outside of Liaodong, sleeping in the open air, and fighting against Jiannu regardless of fame and fortune!" Whether it is among the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People, or among the common people, they are all well-known. Therefore, it was difficult for the imperial court to order the dismissal of Inspector Sun from his position. In my opinion, with the Liaodong Economic Strategy, such as the Jiliao Governor and the Liaodong Governor, these positions are all overlapping, and it is even more difficult to do things when there are many people. ”

Gao Di saw that Wei Bao spoke directly and took the initiative to bring this up, and he was secretly happy in his heart, but he saved a lot of tongues, older people are not as energetic as young people, and they can speak a sentence for a long time.

In fact, the elderly are verbose, that is to see that the other party does not accept their own meaning, want to stubbornly persuade repeatedly, if the other party has accepted their opinions, the old people are easy to be sleepy, so there is no idle time to be long-winded.

Gao Di smiled and nodded, agreeing with Wei Bao's meaning, but did not wipe his lips and motioned for Wei Bao to continue.

"Lord Gao, since I went to Liaodong with Lord Gao, I should be in the same boat. Although I can't squeeze out my mentor on the surface, so I will bear the serious charge of disrespecting my teacher and will be despised by the world, but if I have the opportunity, I will secretly persuade my mentor to return to his hometown and take the initiative to return to his hometown. Wei Bao said directly.

Gao Di's eyes lit up, if he could really do what Wei Bao said, his valuable object would not be spent in vain.

"If this is the case, I don't know if it is a blessing or a misfortune?" Gao Di was happy to be happy, still pretending to be a gesture, and said deeply: "After all, Inspector Sun is a rare outstanding handsome talent since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. I'm just afraid that the Overseer won't have such a plan. Moreover, even if the Overseer is gone, we may not be able to serve the public like the Overseer! ”

Wei Bao said with a smile: "Lord Gao's words made two layers of concerns, are you worried that I can't persuade the teacher, but also worried that the teacher is really gone, the influence is still there, we can't convince the public, and the Jiliao generals and Liaodong generals below won't listen to us, right?" ”

"Exactly, Master Wei has a good solution?" Gao Di's eyes lit up and said, talking to a smart person like Wei Bao is comfortable.

"This is actually not difficult, or what the tall adults have said at the dinner table before, as long as the actual number of these troops can be checked, and they can be assigned to fight with Jiannu, not only can the number of soldiers and horses be reduced, if a battle is won, it will be difficult for Jiannu to launch a major offensive against Liaodong in a year or two! Doesn't that solve all the problems? Wei Bao laughed.

Poof.

Gao Di endured it, but he really couldn't hold back, and finally laughed, "Don't be surprised by Lord Wei, the old man didn't laugh on purpose, according to me, Lord Wei is a good hand as an official, and he is also righteous and outspoken, brave in doing things, dare to act, but I still don't know enough about the war, I can't wait to win the battle, but who can be sure, that is, Inspector Sun himself, if he has the opportunity to win the battle, will he not fight, and still use the turtle to shrink in the city all day long, Jiannu came, and the Ming army hid in Tibet?" Inspector Sun's greatest credit, in fact, is in the hands of Inspector Sun, Liaodong did not lose any more land, in fact, when it comes to winning battles, there is no way to count them. ”

"Lord Gao, I don't dare to say that I know about military affairs, but I have really been in contact with war, haven't you heard anyone say it? I'm in southern Liaoning, and I took the people to drive away the Jiannu thing? Now Liaonan is still in the hands of the Liaomin. Wei Bao said.

Wei Bao didn't want to show off in front of Gao Di, but felt that sooner or later he would have to go to Liaodong with Gao Di, and Gao Di would take office as a new official at that time, especially after Sun Chengzong really left, he would be eager to make meritorious contributions, and then there would be the defeat of Liuhe in the original history.

In the original history, in the fifth year of the Apocalypse, in 1625, when Sun Chengzong went out of Liaodong, he recommended Ma Shilong to serve as the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan and lead the military horses inside and outside the Guan.

In August of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Gao Di and Ma Shilong mistakenly believed the words of Liu Boqiao, a member of the Sheng, saying that the Emperor Taiji of the Later Jin Sibeile was stationed in Yaozhou, and the number of soldiers on hand was less than 300 people.

Shilong was overjoyed, sent troops to cross the Sancha River from Niangniang Palace, intending to attack Yaozhou, and first left Lu Zhijia and Li Chengxian two generals to lead the way, at this time, due to the guerrilla Jin Guan, Yao and Xian stationed on Juehua Island did not come to respond, until the 25th the boat still did not arrive, Li and Lu led 800 people to force the Sancha River through seven fishing boats, resulting in the leakage of traces, resulting in the rout of the Battle of Liuhe, more than 400 people were killed and wounded, Lu Zhijia and Li Chengxian were killed in battle, and Qian Yingke of the Chinese army fell into the water and died.

Sun Chengzong went out to supervise Liaodong, and the arrangement of Yuan Keli, the commander of Denglai Water, cooperated very well, judging from the failure of the Battle of Liuhe, Yuan Keli's departure was also unfavorable to the military operations of Jiliao and Liaodong.

At the same time, it can be seen that Inspector Sun's actual combat ability is not very powerful.

Yuan Keli's Denglai could not be compared with the strength of the Guanning army in terms of soldiers and food and equipment, but it could surprise the combined superior forces and raid the Jin, Fu, and Gai Sanwei Lushun, Hongzui, Wanghai, Yongning and other forts occupied by the Houjin, so that the Houjin curled up in a corner without a peep to the west.

"Governor Yuan Keli sent the chief soldier Shen Yourong to the island with a boat division to respond with Mao Wenlong's troops."

"The four guards of Gaizhou have been emptied, and the land of 400 miles along the coast has been exhausted, and only a thousand people have been captured."

Of course, now that Yaozhou, as a part of southern Liaoning, is already under the control of Wei Bao, it is impossible for Huang Taiji to take people to Yaozhou, and it is impossible for Sun Chengzong, Gao Di and Ma Shilong to have the defeat of Liuhe in history.

But Wei Bao has not forgotten this matter, because of his appearance, Wei Bao knows that the general trend of history will not change much, but many small historical events just happen at a different time, in a different place, and in a different form, and will not be erased.

It's like Wei Bao wanted to rescue Yang Lian, Xiong Tingbi and others, but these people were half killed by Jinyiwei and Dongchang's people in the prison, so what if they were rescued, they would still die of illness in a few days.

Therefore, in order to guard against Gao Di's mentality of being eager to make meritorious contributions, Wei Baocai deliberately emphasized that he was also an expert in military affairs.

It doesn't matter how many military talents there are, President Wei can indeed be said to be a person who has commanded large-scale corps-level operations, and there are not even a few such people in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Wei Bao used a lot of resource consumption and casualties to defeat the offensive of Jiannu, the harvest and loss of the output will not be discussed, anyway, in such a series of processes, Wei Bao has grown personally, mainly manifested in the pre-war preparation of a big battle, the scheduling during the war, and the arrangements before the end of the war and the arrangements after the war.

Gao Di's eyes lit up when he heard this, he had some research on Wei Bao, but mainly focused on how Wei Bao made his fortune after Wei Bao arrived in the capital.

Gao Di came to the conclusion that Wei Bao did well left and right, mainly because he was appreciated by the emperor by chance! It is precisely because of this that Gao Di will desperately tie up Wei Bao.

Now that I know that Wei Bao also participated in the battle against Jiannu and won the war, I think even more highly of Wei Bao, "Forgive me for being lonely and unheard, although I have heard of it slightly, but I really didn't think that Lord Wei was so powerful, and he actually beat Jiannu?" ”

"Not only did they beat Jiannu away, but they also killed tens of thousands of them!" Wei Bao said with a smile: "It can be said that since Nurhachi raised his army, the number of people killed and injured by Jiannu in the Ming Dynasty over the years is not as large as the number of people I killed in the first battle!" ”

Wei Bao said and took a sip of tea proudly and grinned at Gao Di.

"No wonder, no wonder, I said, how can Master Wei have the courage to go to Liaodong, and how can Your Majesty be willing to do it? It turns out that Master Wei is so capable of military affairs. Gaudi laughed.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, knowing that Gao Di might not have fully believed that he had indeed commanded the war, and explained the Ming army to the clothes map in Gao Di's living room.

This map was hung up not long after Gao Di was appointed by the imperial court, and he pretended to be like it, but in fact, Gao Di did not really understand the situation in Liaodong.

These people are very happy to be able to be the Liaodong Economic Strategy, because if they can be the Liaodong Economic Strategy, they can hang the official title of the left squire of the Ministry of War, and even the official title of the Secretary of the Ministry of War, which is an important springboard to enter the cabinet.

For the officials, this life has not been in vain.

It is enough to go home to comfort the ancestors, enough to show off the achievements of a lifetime in front of the parents in the hometown, and it can also be famous for future generations.

"Lord Gao, my military research on Liaodong is not a one-day and two-day strategy, I grew up in Liaoxi, so to speak, I have been thinking about how to break Jiannu since I was a child, not to mention hitting Jiannu's lair, anyway, it is not difficult to recover one or two cities close to us and exterminate thousands of enemy soldiers and horses!" Wei Bao Road.

Gao Di nodded and said: "Don't say thousands, if you can kill thousands of Jiannu's cavalry, it will be enough for the party to make a big deal!" ”

Wei Bao smiled slightly, secretly looking at your little bit of talent, what kind of victory is it called killing a thousand people? You, a person who is about to become the boss of Jiliao, are so small, it's no wonder that the army can have morale.

However, Wei Bao didn't say anything about Gao Di, but continued to the map: "There are also many excellent generals after Li Chengliang. But why can't you control Liaodong? In fact, the core reason is one point, there is no money. Whether it is Sun Chengzong or other overseers, they have all encountered mutinies due to lack of pay for soldiers. As for Xiong Tingbi before, the party struggle in the court was fierce at that time, how could he have time to take care of such a remote place in Liaodong. Why Li Chengliang is in charge of Liaodong is the same as an iron bucket, the Mongols come to beat the Mongols with a full head, and the Jurchens dare to kill indiscriminately to exterminate the Jurchen tribe, it is because there is an elite army. How the elite troops come, it has to be fed by money. Moreover, Li Chengliang himself will also make trouble, he rewarded a lot of land and the land he fought in Liaodong to the soldiers, and he also held a large amount of land and commerce, almost self-sufficient, which is equivalent to becoming a local warlord in Liaodong. Why was Li Rusong able to kill and wound more than 6,000 enemies under the siege of 40,000 elite Japanese robbers in the Battle of Bihuoguan, and finally insisted on retreating calmly until the arrival of reinforcements, because most of these more than 3,000 people were the families of these Liaodong Army generals and the Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Li family, and they didn't know how high they were compared to the conscripted guards and infantry. This is also why Li Rusong cried all night after returning to the camp, although there were more than 200 people reported, those who were organized, and the loss of those who were not organized was really heart-wrenching to him. If there is such an elite force, let alone Sun Chengzong, even any Liaodong general can sweep Liaodong. ”

Gao Di's blood boiled when he heard Wei Bao eating cows, this kind of person who doesn't understand anything is easy to get excited, and he will burn when he doesn't understand it.

"Lord Wei said well, it's really good, but where does the money come from? Could it be that Lord Feiwei wants to scatter his wealth to nourish the army? Gaudi asked.

If this is really the case, he knows that Wei Bao's Heaven and Earth business is very rich, and with Wei Bao's financial resources, there is no problem in winning a battle!

"Huh." Wei Bao smiled: "Lord Gao, let's not talk about going to Liaodong to get money, why can't we put money in it ourselves?" Who knows if it will be able to take it back later? Loyalty to Daming is loyalty, but Daming is not the Daming of the two of us. ”

In fact, in Wei Bao's view, money is one thing, the main thing is a system problem, or a human problem, if you take out a million taels of silver and send it down, you don't have to worry about anything, the Liaodong Army can guarantee to win Jiannu once, Wei Bao in order to make meritorious service, for a temporary victory, gritted his teeth, and it is not that he can't pull out a million taels of silver.

With the current huge power of the Heaven and Earth Society, not to mention one million taels of silver, Wei Bao can also pull out ten million taels of silver, the key is that Wei Bao does not believe in the system of the Ming Dynasty.

The system of the Ming Dynasty has rotted!

This can be seen in the Republic of China. With the same soldiers and equipment, the Americans can beat the Japanese army by directly interfering in logistics, and if they are replaced by our Chinese military organization, they can beat the Americans.

In the hands of Lao Jiang, there is a group of idle fish. This is called "political ecology".

The state serves the bureaucracy, and the bureaucracy is full of selfish interests and intrigue, does not care about the national disaster, and feels that it is the same for everyone to change the top.

Therefore, what Wei Bao distrusts the most is people, it is Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou, as well as Ma Shilong, etc., etc., anyway, the generals of Jiliao and Liaodong, Wei Bao does not trust.

Although Wei Bao didn't say this meaning explicitly, Gao Di could also understand it.

Gao Di said happily and sincerely: "Master Wei not only understands military affairs, but also has strong financial resources, and it is really a blessing for the Ming Dynasty to be appointed by you as the supervisor, this time, I am much more relieved." ”
