The emperor's attitude and imagination of wanting to fight anywhere did not last for a few days, and the war reports from the northern frontier were sent to the telegraph room of the Forbidden City one after another.

At first, the more the emperor watched it, the happier he became, and he was so happy that he was willing to find someone to practice the most boring stabbing project on weekdays.

Wanli likes military affairs, not only personally commanding and training sergeants, but also paying close attention to personal training.

Whether it is boxing or firing guns, although sometimes he will be lazy when he is tired of running, his various military skills assessment is still better than that of the Beiyang Army, second only to the few leaders in the Jinyi Guard.

The infantry military skills training of the Beiyang Flag Army has only been one and a half years, and the sea projects such as controlling warships, climbing masts, and armed swimming have only been completed for two years.

And the emperor, the emperor was obsessed with physical training and bird shooting five years ago, and he is more precious than a veteran in various standard equipment of the Ming Dynasty.

Only, Wanli didn't like to fight with stabs - no banner army dared to stab him with spears or birds with wooden stingers.

But now, even if the emperor is asked to engage in the most boring stabbing and fighting with the banner army, he will fight with relish, because of the Wuliang Ha Sanwei, and he is served.

Along with Qi Jiguang's battle report of conquering Daning City and subduing Sanwei, it was a topographic map of Wulianghai jointly presented by Tainingwei, Duoyanwei, and Fuyuwei.

The map was surveyed and mapped by the military academy under Qi Jiguang's subordinates, covering all the land under the direct control of Sanwei and the Qi army's attack, choking the gap in the southern part of Daxianbei Mountain, separating the Guan Wei army into various cities, and leading troops westward, defeating the Tuman and Khalkha coalition forces in the hometown of Hara Yuwei, killing them in all directions and fleeing.

The Tuban army relied on the army, divided the troops and marched together, and wanted to attack the soldiers and horses of the Qi army, but the result was that the Qi army was completely broken in all three ways, and the first battle caused the majesty of the Tuban Khan Court to be swept away, and even the tribes near the Hulun River and the fishing sea that had not even seen the shadow of the Qi army competed to join them.

On the other hand, what made the emperor happy was that Li Chengliang of Liaodong was finally willing to move his nest - before that, the Qi family army had repeatedly carried out the cycle of marching, fighting, marching, and fighting again for several months, and after Li Chengliang's troops in Liaodong sent troops, it was endlessly repeated: marching, accidents, solving accidents, continuing to march, and continuing to have accidents.

It seems that it was not until he saw that the victory of the Qi army was too light, so he sent troops to the surrounding Tatar and Jurchen tribes that had not yet been annexed to subdue, attack, and surrender.

At this point, Li Chengliang has too many advantages over Qi Jiguang.

Qi Jiguang is eyes are black, after leaving the fortress, the whole world is the enemy, if you don't win a few decent battles, don't want others to surrender well, even if it is a small tribe with only a dozen herdsmen and hundreds of cattle and horses, in the face of the pressure of the army, it would rather flee than surrender directly, and this situation did not change until Qi Jiguang defeated the Tuman's Khan.

Li Chengliang is different, the territory in the northeast is clear, and the Li family can recite the genealogy of the leaders of the downstream pastoral tribes for three generations, and they have people to attach and help wherever they go.

Judging from the war report, Li Chengliang is grabbing merit - throwing Qi Jiguang on the front line to fight for life and death during the war, and he has nothing to do with it; After the battle, he was more concerned than anyone else about the territory, and the tribes that attached to Li Chengliang were more than three times more than Qi Jiguang.

On the Songnen Plain, from Sancha Hewei to the people in the northern forests, no one was unwilling to obey Li Chengliang's arrangement.

Fortunately, Qi Jiguang has a lot of achievements, otherwise it would be really difficult to set a reward for this battle.

The Qi family's army could not meet an opponent worthy of this army at all.

Compared with them, Nanyang Dongyang's excellent record of killing 3,000 enemies and losing 300 self-losses seems extremely mediocre.

However, the telegram that followed did not make the emperor so happy.

The imperial court wanted the Qi family army to return, and Qi Jiguang also thought that his troops had initially achieved their mission, and it was time to plan a retreat.

Collecting troops is a must collect troops, no army in this world has the strength to shake the Qi family's army, and the only thing that can restrain them is the cold winter of the north.

It was still spring when Qi's army came out, and there was only a small amount of cotton clothes in the army, and now winter is coming soon, Qi Jiguang can't let the soldiers sleep outside the fortress without even boots to survive the winter.

He knew very well that this elite army under his own command, the Japanese were not their enemies, the Mongols were the same, and even they themselves were not enemies, and the only threat to them was from above.

It's nothing more than the point of discussion between the DPRK and China now, should we stop this war and let the Qi family's army return to Jizhen in the south? Or let them return Daning City?

"We can't retreat now, we must consolidate the results...... Write down what I said. The emperor in the Qinghua Garden showed a blank face, and gave an order to the attendant eunuchs, saying: "There are three reasons for not retreating, one is that the imperial court needs good wood, and these are available outside the northeast; Second, there is too much time, and even if the Dache battalion retreats towards the pass now, it will not be able to retreat into the pass before the arrival of winter, which will increase unnecessary casualties. ”

"Third, the most important thing is that between the past dynasties, the strong neighbors in the north have never been able to consolidate the results of the war, and they have not been able to obtain the merits that the eternal generations rely on; My Ming Dynasty has suffered enough of such losses, Wulianghai is gone, and Sanxuan and Six Comforts are also opposed, only if there are more of my people and soldiers in a land than them, it is possible to occupy Saiwai for a long time. ”

"10,000 sets of winter clothes, I will find a way to transfer them to him, and the winter clothes will be delivered soon, so that they can be stationed in Daning City."

In fact, in Wanli's view, this battle can still be fought, as long as the Ming army is still outside the fortress, it can be continued.

In the past, there was no shortage of tactical victories, and the Ming army ploughed the court and swept the caves many times, and achieved brilliant results, but it never struck while the iron was hot to completely subdue the place, and people would rebel again at every turn.

It's not that the imperial court doesn't want to strike while the iron is hot, but in the past, it really didn't have such ability, and it was excellent to be able to go on an expedition to kick the camp for thousands of miles, and expect the Ming army with huge baggage pressure to occupy a place permanently?

There is no eternity.

What's more, the emperor knew very well that only if his people became more numerous in an area and had an overwhelming advantage, they would not be taken advantage of the fire.

There are two other reasons that drive the emperor to continue fighting, or one reason can also be said, that is, the Northeast Timber, which is clearly known at the moment.

The imperial court was relatively short of large timber capable of making ships, which would intensify in the coming years, and the price of timber would increase slightly with the large-scale use of steam engines, further increasing the cost of construction.

At this juncture, the jungle of the Northeast is particularly important.

"I'm going to issue an immigration order, and later you can send this letter to the Cabinet for discussion by the Cabinet."

The emperor crossed his arms and explained: "In the past, planting gardens was 200 acres per person...... I have many, many poor people who have no land, so let them go and reclaim the wasteland, and like in Asia, carve out a few counties first, and then go on the road next spring. ”
