Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a subscription

When Zhu Jishi rushed to his imperial study. Peng Yulin has been waiting at the door for a long time, his appearance looks a little tired, his eyes are full of bloodshots, I don't know whether Lu Dao is driving a night train to formulate a Pingliao strategy or painting plum blossoms - everyone in the Ming court knows that this Peng secretary Ling has a habit of painting plum blossoms, it is said that because of a love tragedy oppressed by feudal etiquette, he can't be with his childhood sweetheart Mei Gu, he can only place his affection on painting Mei.

Compared with him, Zhu Datianzi, who came from 150 years later, has no etiquette in his head, since it is a concubine, what reason is there not to be together?

Seeing Zhu Jishi coming in a hurry, Peng Yulin hurriedly got up and bowed. Zhu Jishi smiled: "Calm down, come in and talk." ”

Peng Yulin answered, and followed Zhu Jishi into the imperial study with a package of files, which were the detailed Pingliao plan he had drawn up - the tripartite arrangement strategy. As the name suggests, it is to dig the foundation of the Qing Dynasty from three aspects.

Zhu Jishi sat opposite Peng Yulin, his face looked impassive: "Peng Qing, your proposal Gu Wang has already read it, and the idea is very good." Do you have any specific solutions? The Eight Banners of Liaodong still have some strength. ”

Peng Yulin nodded, put the package of files on the desk in front of Zhu Jishi, and said in a very confident tone: "This is the tripartite arrangement strategy that His Majesty has just drawn up, and it is to follow the old wisdom of Xiong Feibai in Liaodong in the past, and raise a three-way army to level Liaodong. All the way, he used naval warships to transport land divisions from the sea to Ningjin and kill his people. and take away their cities and their lands. Then recruit the people of Liangjiang who have no food and clothing. Implement tuntian, soldiers and peasants and one, and fight and plough, and build fortresses; The second way is to send troops from North Korea, which can make the governor of Lujiang County, the governor of North Korea, cross the Yalu River, also kill people and seize land, and then colonize Tuntian, step by step; The third route is based on Vladivostok. On the one hand, Tuntian built forts and expanded ports; On the one hand, he made good friends with the local fishing and hunting people, and spared no money to buy the head of Jianyi. In this way, the three parties will advance together, for a long time, more than five years, and as little as three years, and the land of Liaodong will definitely belong to my Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Jishi nodded, and from his expression, he couldn't tell whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied, but asked lightly: "How to carry out the matter of recruiting the poor?" How much does it cost? ”

Peng Yulin said with a smile: "The poor are ready-made, and the two Huai salt merchants have tens of thousands of salt under their hands. The Cao Gang has hundreds of thousands of disciples. The king could edict the salt merchants and the Cao gang to organize the poor to cooperate with the imperial court to pacify Liao. Other than that. Shandong and Henan continued to fight, and many refugees went south, and the imperial court could also recruit young people to go to Tunliaodong. As for the cost of the tripartite arrangement, His Majesty has not yet calculated it, but if I can plunder the ripe land of Liaodong, I can greatly save the cost. ”

Zhu Jishi asked lightly: "How many troops do you need to send?" ”

Peng Yulin said: "If you only deal with the Manchu Qing, one army is enough to pacify Liao, and if Tsarist Russia sends troops to intervene, it will need two armies." ”

At present, Zhu Ming's army has a total of 8 army numbers. In addition, plans were made to expand the four armies, namely the 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th armies, and to expand the field strength to 12 armies with a total of 432,000 troops. Therefore, dispatching 2 armies to level Liao is not considered to use the main force.

According to Zhu Jishi's current grand strategy, now is not the time to dispatch the main force to level Liao. On the one hand, the main force of the Ming army had to confront the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

On the other hand, although the Northern Qing Dynasty was expelled from the Central Plains, it still had vast land, which was even larger than Zhu Ming's territory in terms of land area alone, and it was still vast and sparsely populated, and most of the land was in an undeveloped state. If the main force of the Northern Qing Dynasty avoided the battle and went north, Zhu Ming's army would be empty, and the army would be suspended for a long time, and logistics supply alone would be an unsolvable problem.

It doesn't take one or two armies to recover Liao, it's still a bit little.

Peng Yulin said: "Your Majesty, the key to recovering Liao is the integration of soldiers and peasants, if there are 100,000 Ding Zhuang, there will be 100,000 soldiers, and if there are 1 million Ding Zhuang, there will be 1 million soldiers. All the peasant families were organized into regimental camps, issued with guns, and made them build castles to live in dangerous places. ”

"That's a good idea!" Zhu Jishi thought for a moment and nodded, "This method of both soldiers and civilians can not only be used to restore Liao ......"

In addition to recovering Liao, when Zhu Ming expanded and colonized abroad in the future, he could use this method of resettlement in Tuntian and the integration of soldiers and peasants.

Zhu Jishi smiled and waved his hand: "Peng Qing, your method is very good, this Liaodong Town will be entrusted to Peng Qing, Peng Qing is not from the army, and the battle with troops can be entrusted to Liu Jiong, the commander of the Third Army." Well...... Dongjiang Town is also under your control. However, the troops of the DPRK and Vladivostok are under the control of Li Lujiang, and you must cooperate well with him and work with one heart and one mind in order to complete the great cause of recovering Liao at an early date. ”

Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Tianjing Luoyang.

This almost forgotten ancient city of the Central Plains is now the theoretical capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which occupies most of the Central Plains. Unlike the large and empty Beijing or the large and prosperous Yingtian, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom presented a deformed and crowded scene.

It used to be the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties of Luoyang, which was the same as the whole world, and there was no parallel in the four seas, since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, it was no longer Beijing, and it was reduced to Henan Fuzhi, and the original generation of Xiongcheng was constantly abandoned, and it was no longer the grand occasion of the year. The current ancient city of Luoyang was built in the Peasant War period at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and the scale is less than one-fifth of Luoyang City in the Sui and Tang dynasties. After hundreds of thousands of Taiping military dependents and people from Lianghu and Guangxi flocked in, this small Luoyang city became crowded. In the city, except for a few princely palaces, all the houses were crowded with people. The system of separate camps for men and women was not abolished in Luoyang, and in order to facilitate management, the whole city was divided into "male city" and "female city", and the residents of Tianjing City still lived a life where husband and wife could not see each other. But what pains the residents of Tianjing Luoyang the most is the extreme shortage of food. Although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had already imposed the "Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System" in western Henan, the land was divided equally, and the peasants were organized into armies and placed under the strict management of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. However, grain production was still declining, and this spring the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had to buy a large amount of rice from the Huguang area, barely ensuring that Tianjing Luoyang did not run out of grain.

In addition to the lack of food, the labor for the construction of the mansion for the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, the Southern King Feng Yunshan and several marquis also made the people of the Heavenly Kingdom seem to see the shattering of the dream of heaven on earth.

Li Hongzhang's carriage stopped at the gate of the palace of Feng Yunshan, the prime minister of the Heavenly Kingdom, the 7,000-year-old mansion of the southern king of the prime minister of the Heavenly Kingdom, located in the north of Luoyang City, is the second largest palace in the entire Luoyang City, only in the Tianwang Mansion, just a door occupies half a street. The construction of the palace was not over, when Li Hongzhang got out of the car, the first thing he saw was a group of yellow-faced and thin-skinned women carrying a large log and struggling into the gate of the palace. Seeing this scene, Li Hongzhang could only let out a long sigh in his heart, claiming that "there is food to eat, clothes to wear, money to work together, and land to plough together." Some Westerners in Hong Kong and Shanghai regard it as the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which is ahead of Zhu Ming in various systems, and it is actually such a hell on earth.

In Feng Yunshan's palatial palace, people come and go, and they are all heavenly officials who come to the palace to do business. Li Hongzhang already knew that the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan didn't care about anything, and soaked in the fat powder pile all day long. All the great affairs of the Kingdom of Heaven were in charge of Feng Yunshan, the king of the south.

Under the guidance of a female official in the south hall, Li Hongzhang lowered his head and walked towards the palace hall. Just after passing through a corridor, he saw the figure of Hong Xuanjiao, who had changed into the clothes of a female official of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, appear in front of him. Hong Xuanjiao and Hong Xiuquan's brother and sister relationship seems to be good, and they were connected to the Tianwang Mansion when they arrived in Luoyang, and they appeared in front of Li Hongzhang again today.

"I've seen the princess." Li Hongzhang hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Hong Xiuquan frowned all the time, and glanced at the female official who led Li Hongzhang in: "You step down, I will take Agent Li to see King Nan." ”

"Your Royal Highness, what did Your Majesty the Heavenly King say?" Li Hongzhang followed behind Hong Xuanjiao, and asked in a low voice while walking. (To be continued......)
