readx; Hearing that Yuan Chonghuan went to Phi Island to meet Mao Wenlong, Gao Di couldn't help but say worriedly: "Governor Yuan really worked hard for the Guanningjin defense line, and he was so tired that he was dark and thin, which the minister admired. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoIt's just that he's too quick to tolerate people. Mao Wenlong was unruly and unruly, and even his ministers did not pay attention to it. The two of them have long been dirty because of the problem of food and salary, and I hope that the two of them will not affect the overall situation of resisting the capture because of the conflict of will. ”

Sun Chengzong also shook his head and sighed: "Yuan Chonghuan was picked up by his ministers, he has the ability, but the problem of narrow-mindedness and unscrupulous means to achieve the end is also very serious. The minister warned him back then, and it seems that he didn't listen! Although our dynasty uses literature to control the military, but Dongjiang Town is not under the control of the governor of Liaodong, and Mao Wenlong, who is more official than Yuan Chonghuan, rushes to go, what results can be discussed? Alas, I hope there won't be any mess! ”

The green tendons on Zhu Youzhen's forehead also jumped a few times, but he could barely hold back the anger in his chest, and turned to Wu Sangui and said, "You said that Lord Yuan asked you to change Mangui?" Why do you want to change guards? ”

Wu Sangui hurriedly smiled and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the General Army of the Ancestors has recently built a city on the Daling River, occupying a large number of border troops. Lord Yuan thought that the peace proposal was not sincere, and it was still necessary to hurry up and build the city, so he transferred 10,000 troops from Jinzhou and Ningyuan to the Daling River. Now there are only 5,000 border troops in Ningyuan and Juehua Island, only 10,000 in Jinzhou, and the rest are all in the Daling River, and the rear is empty. Therefore, Lord Yuan ordered the junior general to lead 500 troops to replace General Man Gui, and asked General Man Gui to lead half of the troops of Shanhaiguan to move to Ningyuan. ”

When Man Gui heard this, he immediately said dissatisfiedly: "What's the point of going to Ningyuan, if you want to go, go to Daling River to kill yourself!" ”

Sun Chengzong sank his face and said: "Man Gui, you must not be presumptuous in front of the king!" ”

Man Gui is not afraid of the sky and the earth, but he is most afraid of Sun Chengzong, the old man, so he shrunk his neck in fright, and quickly kept silent, but looked at Zhu Youzhen with expectant eyes, hoping that the emperor would send him to the front line.

Sun Chengzong muttered: "Your Majesty, now that we have killed the puppet envoy of Jianyu, Jianyu will come to retaliate after learning the news, and the construction of the city of Daling River is even more important." We originally planned to transfer General Zhao to Jizhou, but now it seems that it will not be possible. If both Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao left Shanhaiguan, wouldn't Shanhaiguan become an empty city? It is better to temporarily leave General Zhao to guard the Shanhaiguan and transfer Gui to Ningyuan according to Yuan Chonghuan's opinion. After the situation in eastern Liaodong is consolidated, it is not too late to consider Jizhou. ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't say a word, and when he caught a glimpse of Gao Di's desire to speak, he said in his heart: "Rong Zhen think about it again." Lord Shangshu, the hour is not early, you are old and have a hard time, go back to your room to rest first. ”

Sun Chengzong actually hoped that Zhu Youzhen would make a decision immediately, but it can be seen that the emperor hesitated and couldn't say too much, so he had to take the order and retreat.

Gao Di hurriedly prepared dinner and a place to stay for the emperor, and was busy with his work, when he suddenly received an order from Zhu Youzhen: Immediately go to the east gate of the town to discuss matters!

Gao Di did not dare to slack off, and hurried to the east gate of the town. By this time it was completely dark, and even though the torches were lit at the head of the city, it was not enough to dispel the darkness.

Zhu Youzhen was waiting for him at the head of the city, and Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao were also there, only Sun Chengzong and Wu Sangui were missing. Seeing Gao Di coming, Zhu Youzhen said kindly: "Lord Gao, Master Fang Cai Shangshu agrees with Yuan Chonghuan's proposal, I see that you want to speak and stop, and there seems to be a different opinion." Now that Master Shangshu is gone, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it to me. ”

Gao Di was moved in his heart, forgot his situation for a while, and rarely said bluntly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Daling River is really difficult to hold!" ”

"Oh?" Zhu Youzhen said with interest, "How can you see it?" ”

"Your Majesty, please see," Gao Di immediately took out the sketch of Liaodong that he carried with him, and pointed out to Zhu Youzhen, "Ningyuan is two hundred miles northeast of Shanhaiguan, Jinzhou is one hundred and thirty miles northeast of Ningyuan, and Daling River is thirty-five miles northeast of Jinzhou, and the distance from Guangning is only more than one hundred miles. The Jianyu army was stationed in Quang Ninh, and it was all cavalry, and if you wanted to attack the Daling River, you could besiege the city in one day at most.

"And our army is not good at field warfare, so we can only hold on to the city and wait for reinforcements. Moreover, our army is mainly an infantry army, whether it is from Shanhaiguan or from Ningyuan to send reinforcements, they all need to trek for several days, and the Jianyu can wait for labor to attack our division. Therefore, the Daling River is really not a good battlefield, not to mention that the city has not yet been built! ”

"Then, in the opinion of the High Master, where should the city be defended?" Zhu Youzhen asked.

Gao Di hesitated again and again before he sighed and said: "In the humble opinion of the minister, in fact, it is best to garrison Shanhaiguan. It's just that Governor Yuan has already spent so much energy to build the two cities of Ningyuan and Jinzhou, and it's a pity to give up. The soldiers and soldiers of the border army have all their children here, and they will never give it up. ”

"Then why didn't you just say that?"

"The Guanning Jin defense line is the proud work of Sun Ge Lao, how dare the minister make a mistake!" Gao Di snorted, "Besides, Your Majesty has also said that the land of the ancestors will not be abandoned, how dare the minister..."

Zhu Youzhen was also silent, looking at the narrow corridor outside the east gate of the town that extended to the northeast and gradually disappeared into the night, and suddenly said for a long time: "If Jianyu bypasses Jinzhou and Ningyuan and suddenly attacks Shanhaiguan, of course, I just said if." Are you sure you'll be able to hold on? ”

Gao Di was excited in his heart, and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the minister has also thought about this question. The minister doesn't dare to bully the king, he is really not sure! I heard that Jianlu already has artillery, even if there is no artillery, Your Majesty, please see, outside this city is Jiao Mountain, the top of the hill is higher than the city wall, if Jianlu condescends to use a strong bow to release arrows, will the soldiers at the head of the city not suffer a big loss? If you build another city wall on the top of the mountain, or even build it to the north of the horn mountain, and encompass the entire mountain, it is a foolproof strategy! However, it has cost tens of millions of silver to build cities in Ningyuan and other places, and the imperial court really can't take out so much silver to build cities..."

"You don't care about the silver, if I give you enough food and salary, and a part of Mangui, if it is not enough, you can increase the army by 30,000, can you hold Shanhaiguan?" Zhu Youzhen did not give up.

Gao Di trembled, and hurriedly knelt down and touched his head to the ground and said: "If this is the case, the minister dares to protect the Shanhaiguan without fail!" ”

"Okay, what I want is foolproof!" Zhu Youzhen said word by word, "Li Laiheng, declare the decree!" ”

Li Laiheng immediately took a step forward, unfolded the holy decree that had been written long ago, and preached loudly: "The Liaodong Economic Strategy is similar to the authority of the governor of Liaodong, and it is not necessary to hinder and postpone it. From now on, the Liaodong Economic Strategy will be abolished! ”

Gao Di listened to it and suddenly thundered, and said in his heart, didn't he remove himself?

Unexpectedly, the next content made him even more dumbfounded: "Yuan Chonghuan was removed from the post of governor of Liaodong, and Gao Di took over." With Zhao Shujiao as the chief military officer of Jizhou, he led an army of 10,000 to move to Jizhen Town; Man Gui is the chief military officer of Shanhaiguan and is still stationed in Shanhaiguan! ”

Seeing that several people were stunned on the spot, Zhu Youzhen said anxiously: "If there is anything you don't understand, hurry up and ask, I am still in a hurry to go to Phi Dao!" ”
