Zu Dale's attitude is more radical than Zu Dashou, after seeing Yan Yingyuan, Zu Dale's attitude is very respectful, about the Ming Dynasty, Zu Dale did not mention it at all, but talked about the situation of the Liaodong border army, what morale is low, what life difficulties, etc., and directly said, if Lord Su is still here, it will never say that such a situation occurs, and Zu Dale is very clear about the military salary of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, according to the calculation of the military salary allocated by the imperial court, Zu Dale is also the general soldier of Shanhaiguan, The position is equivalent to the commander of the Jiangning battalion guard, the commander of the Jiangning battalion guard earns as much as 8,000 taels of silver every year, and he, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, is less than 200 taels of silver allocated by the imperial court.

If it weren't for Zu Dashou's dissuasion, Zu Dale wouldn't know what ugly words Lu Dao was going to say, in fact, what Zu Dale meant, Yan Yingyuan completely understood, that is, Zu Dale completely wanted to return to the Great Jin Dynasty, as long as Yan Yingyuan issued a task, even if it was to kill Shi Kefa, I am afraid Zu Dale would not care.

The military salary allocated by the Ming Dynasty is indeed a small pitiful, to say that it increased later, this is also thanks to Su Tiancheng, when Su Tiancheng was in Liaodong, he vigorously rectified the Liaodong border army, and the mutual market between Jingbian and Anning Fort also gave a certain subsidy to the Liaodong border army while supplying the military salary of the Jiangning battalion, as for the military salary allocated by the imperial court, Su Tiancheng did not move a penny, and all the money was distributed to the sergeant, but unfortunately this situation, with the expansion of the Liaodong border army, there have been great changes. With so many sergeants suddenly increased, it was impossible for the imperial court to fully bear the military salary.

The income of officers will not be less, no matter what channel, you can get a lot of income, deducting military salaries and falsely reporting sergeants, this is a very common situation, if you serve as a valuable officer in the Ming army, do not do these things, you will not be able to maintain your life at all, let alone use silver to pay for your superiors. But inside the Jiangning camp. There is no such situation, Su Tiancheng's control over the military salary of the Jiangning battalion is very strict, and the false reporting of military salaries and the embezzlement of non-commissioned officers and officers is very demoralizing. The sergeant sees it in his eyes and remembers it in his heart. It's time for battle. will be greedy for life and afraid of death, and will not be willing to charge into battle, so if such a thing happens in the Jiangning camp. Officers can't keep their heads.

Of course, the Jiangning battalion can do this, thanks to the guarantee of sufficient military salaries, the officers above the commander of the guard, the usual salaries and combat rewards, more than 10,000 taels of silver every year, with such a high income, and still want to be greedy for ink, isn't it water in the mind, even if it is the most ordinary sergeant, the silver in his hand every year, most of them are about 300 taels of silver, these silver to maintain the family's expenses are more than enough, can live a very comfortable life, and after the Jiangning battalion soldiers are killed, The care of the family is very in place, the annual subsidy of each family, almost one hundred taels of silver, can also live, with sufficient military salary guarantee, coupled with the glory of the soldiers respected by the Jiangning battalion, if the soldiers do not fight hard, there is no heavenly reason.

It took more than an hour to talk about these things, don't underestimate such chatter, through these words, Yan Yingyuan completely grasped the thoughts of Zu Dashou and Zu Dale, and felt that there was no big problem in stabilizing Liaodong, even if the imperial court wanted to transfer the Liaodong border army, Zu Dashou and Zu Dale would lead the backbone of the Liaodong border army to hold the Guanningjin defense line.

Feeling that the small talk was almost over, Yan Yingyuan turned to the topic, what he needed to care about was how to hold the Guanningjin defense line, which was also something that Su Tiancheng particularly emphasized.

The map of Liaodong is spread out on the table, the white area is the place controlled by the Ming army, and the blue area is the place controlled by the Houjin Tartars, this map is compared with a few years ago, and has undergone great changes, the white area has expanded a lot, although most of the area of Liaodong is still occupied by the Houjin Tartars, but the south of the Liaohe River is basically white, indicating that these places are directly controlled by the Ming army.

Yan Yingyuan pointed in the direction of the Liao River and spoke.

"The two adults, Dai Shan and Ji Erharang led the Houjin Tartars, have crossed the Liao River, yesterday when discussing with the ancestors, talked about the situation in Guangning, Xipingbao and Yizhou and other places, from the current fighting spirit and deployment of the Liaodong border army, it is very difficult to hold these places, according to the estimation below, the Houjin Tartars may launch an offensive in the near future, and the specific attack day, thinking about it, is the time for the Jiangning battalion to march towards the Beijing Division."

Zu Dashou and Zu Dale raised their heads and looked at Yan Yingyuan, for two days, Yan Yingyuan had not talked about the matter of returning to Shun, the two of them had long felt that it was a matter of course to return to the Great Jin Court, and if they wanted to completely exterminate the Houjin Tartars in the future, I am afraid that the Great Jin Court would be able to do it, and now Yan Yingyuan did not hide it at all, and said that the Jiangning Battalion army was about to attack the capital, and he completely believed them.

"The Jiangning battalion attacked the capital, presumably the Ming Dynasty will definitely transfer the Liaodong border army, at this time, the defense of Liaodong will definitely be affected, this impact is not small, the emperor has analyzed several situations, and said it below, please refer to the two adults."

"In the first case, Daishan and Jilharang took advantage of the situation to take the places of Quang Ninh, Yizhou and Xipingbao, and coveted the Black Mountain, Dalinghe City and even the Guanning Jin defense line, but after taking these places, they will not launch a large-scale attack for the time being."

"In the second case, Daishan and Jierharang bypassed Guangning, Montenegro, Dalinghe City, Jinzhou and Ningyuan, and went straight to Shanhaiguan, threatening the foundation of the Guanning Jin defense line, and Dolgon, who was stationed in the direction of Datong, would also coordinate an attack on Shanhaiguan at this time, reinforcing Daishan and Jierharang, once the Houjin Tatars occupied Shanhaiguan, the entire Guanning Jin defense line collapsed, and Liaodong fell into the hands of the Houjin Tatars, it was only a matter of time."

"In the third case, Daishan and Jierharang bypassed Shanhaiguan and directly attacked the capital, in this case, the capital was attacked from both sides, and the Ming court would definitely mobilize all the Liaodong border troops to reinforce the capital, and take advantage of this opportunity to kill Daishan and Jierharang to kill back the horse pistol and seize Shanhaiguan, in addition to Dolgon, who was stationed in Datong, would also take advantage of the situation to attack Shanhaiguan, as for the situation that appeared later, the outcome was the same as the analysis of the second situation, but the people near the capital were afraid to suffer......"

When Yan Yingyuan analyzed the situation, Zu Dashou and Zu Dale didn't listen very carefully, maybe they thought that such considerations were a bit too much, as long as they were loyal to the Great Jin Dynasty and led the Liaodong border army to hold the Guanningjin defense line, the problem would not be too big, as for the Liaodong border army to shrink the defense line and take the initiative to abandon Guangning and Xipingbao and other places, this is also understandable.

Yan Yingyuan didn't fully notice Zu Dashou and Zu Dale's emotions.

After Yan Yingyuan finished speaking, Zu Dashou spoke first.

"Lord Yan, these situations, Yan thinks that they can be prevented, except for the first situation, Guangning and Xiping Fort, including the military deployment of Yizhou, is already very weak, if you want to resist the attack of Daishan and Jierharang, I am afraid that you are powerless, but even if such a situation occurs, as long as the Guanningjin defense line is still strong, there is not much of a problem, as for the second and third situations, the possibility of occurrence is not large, after all, there are nearly 300,000 troops in Liaodong, Daishan and Jierharang also have to think about it, What is the outcome of the lonely army, especially the matter of bypassing the Shanhaiguan Pass and entering the Guannei, the possibility is even more unlikely, if you want to cross the Great Wall, the Houjin Tartar will need to consume great energy, and there is a Jiangning camp in the pass, if you really meet the Jiangning Camp, presumably Daishan and Jierharang know that it is a disaster for the Houjin Tartar......"

Yan Yingyuan thought about it for a while, and felt that what Zu Dashou said also had some truth, so he didn't continue to discuss this issue, this small mistake was really fulfilled later.

Next, we have to talk about Shi Kefa, the governor of Liaodong.

Zu Dashou and Zu Dale don't know Shi Kefa very well, after all, Shi Kefa has not been in Liaodong for a long time, and it is not the time when the situation in Liaodong is particularly tense, in other words, the two do not know Shi Kefa's ability very well, and if they want to show their ability in Liaodong, it can only be reflected in the fight with the Houjin Tartars.

It is also because of this that Zu Dashou and Zu Dale are not particularly worried about Shi Kefa, Zu Dashou told Yan Yingyuan that in the past two days, he will find a way to let Yan Yingyuan and Shi Kefa meet to see what Shi Kefa's attitude is, whether he wants to resist desperately according to the requirements of the imperial court, or focus on keeping Liaodong, once Shi Kefa's attitude is too intense, Zu Dashou and Zu Dale must find a way to stop it, after all, Liaodong must not let the Houjin Tartars completely occupy, and the Guanningjin defense line can not have any mistakes.

At this point, Yan Yingyuan was basically relieved, in fact, when he came to Liaodong, the focus was to ensure that Houjin Tartar could not break through the Guanningjin defense line, as long as the Guanningjin defense line was still in the hands of the Liaodong border army, the problem was not very big, everything could be dealt with, the emperor also said that when attacking the capital, he would not be particularly anxious, the focus was to ensure the stability around the capital, and there could be no large-scale riots, let alone devastating destruction of the capital.

After most of the day's discussion, Yan Yingyuan's mood is very good, he is not an authentic scholar, and he also has a bold atmosphere, so when he drinks at night, he also picks up the wine bowl, and Zu Dashou, Zu Dale and others fight together, which makes Zu Dale's interest greatly high, when Zu Dale followed He Renlong to fight, the two often hold a wine bowl to fight wine, but unfortunately Zu Dale is not He Renlong's opponent, he is often drunk, this time drinking, Yan Yingyuan can't drink Zu Dale, and he is also drunk.
