To kill a hundred military attachés of the sixth grade, it is also necessary to report, verify, and finally execute, the process is quite complicated, and there must be very legitimate and high-sounding reasons. And Hou Jiawei doesn't care about you, just send someone to kill!

What are the conventions? It's all!

Dong Ce privately deduced that Liu Ruozai summoned himself like this because he was afraid of Hou Jiawei in his heart.

This Hou Jiawei is really amazing!

Immediately afterwards, a thought suddenly and irrepressibly rose from Dong Ce's heart: "If I act like Hou Jiawei, the official is getting bigger and bigger, and I have soldiers in my hands, then will others not dare to offend me easily?" ”

Be a spoiler that everyone fears!

After Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he listened to the words of the Donglin Party and dismissed the Jinyi Guard, and now the Jinyi Guard is not out of the Beijing Division, even if I do something, I am afraid that others will not be so easy to know!

As soon as this thought came out, it was immediately uncontrollable, Dong Ce carefully thought about the pros and cons of gains and losses, how to behave in detail, and when he had about an eyebrow, he raised his eyes and saw that he had already arrived at Zhenhe Fort.

The rain was heavy again, and the iron armor on Dong Ce and the others was washed clean and dusty, and the cold and hard cold air of the steel came out, which made people feel a chill in their hearts when they saw it.

There is Liu Ruozai with the warrant document brought by someone, all the way down, the same unimpeded, very = one = this = read = novel xstxt soon arrived at the military preparation mansion, not long after the transmission, was invited in.

Dong Ce entered the study, as usual, he didn't dare to raise his head, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying that he would meet the adult.

The rain of the iron armor on his body dripped down, and soon formed a puddle of water stains on the ground, Liu Ruozai saw it, and was very unhappy in his heart, and secretly scolded a vulgar martial artist. But after all, Dong Ce was needed now, until he frowned slightly, and then stretched out: "Get up!" ”

"Master Xie." Dong Ce thanked him, stood up, and cautiously observed Liu Ruozai, and found that this Lord Liu still had a smile on his face, and he seemed to be in a good mood, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Look!" Liu Ruozai pointed to a wooden pier next to the door.

Dong Ce hurriedly thanked him, and did it next to half of his ass, so it was better to stand. I want to die of embarrassment in my heart, but nothing else - to be honest, Liu Ruozai's attitude towards him, as a high-ranking civil servant to a low-level military minister, is already very good. You must know that Sun Chuanting later led the military generals in Shanxi, Henan and other places. Those generals of the same rank as him, if they want to meet and talk, they have to kneel outside the big tent to roll call, and then kneel and tend to enter, after entering, they are not allowed to say a word, they are not allowed to raise their heads, they are not allowed to get up, they can only hold up the paper in their hands.

It was the pinnacle of the military general's contempt for civilian officials.

But no matter what, in front of these civil officials, Dong Ce always has a feeling of not being looked down upon.

Liu Ruozai didn't rush to ask Hou Jiawei about it, but said with a smile: "How do you think about the training in Tuntian?" ”

Dong Ce owed a debt and said: "Last time, my lord, you asked the last general to go back and think about it carefully, but the last general didn't dare or hope, so he made a special trip to write a notebook, and the last general thought about it, among them!" ”

As he spoke, he took out an oilcloth bag from his arms, opened it layer by layer, revealing a booklet inside, got up and handed it to Liu Ruozai.

Liu Ruozai took it, flipped it open and took a look, and immediately became a little stunned, and looked up and said, "You wrote the words?" ”

"Exactly." Dong Ce said.

"Not bad! Yan muscles and willow bones, a little thin and hard, not like a martial artist. Liu Ruozai smiled slightly and praised twice.

Dong Ce didn't even dare to say it, but he smiled bitterly in his heart, 'not like a martial artist' For the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, perhaps this undisguised contempt is the greatest compliment to a military general.

Liu Ruozai looked closely, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became.

Dong Ce's notebook was written by him in the past three days, but how much did it take a month to think about it? Dong Ce wrote all his general ideas into it, how to recruit displaced people, how to distribute arable land, how to formulate rules and regulations, and even how to collect grain, how to train troops, and how to restrain them. The meticulousness of his thinking made Liu Ruozai secretly admire, and as for some novel ideas, he was also a little surprised.

It's just that Liu Ruozai didn't show it on his face at all. He has always pursued a principle, for military generals, not too hypocritical.

After a long time, he put down the paperwork, knocked lightly on the table, and suddenly asked, "What do you think about choosing Dashigu?" ”

Dong Ce cleared his throat and repeated the advantages of Da Shigu that he had told his subordinates earlier, and then said: "Another thing to think about is for the long term. ”

"Oh?" Liu Ruozai raised his eyebrows: "Tell me!" ”

That is, he now has a high opinion of Dong Ce, if an ordinary officer said such a thing, Liu Ruozai would have scoffed a long time ago.

Dong Ce said in a deep voice: "This year's Jiannu entry into the Kou is not the first time, and it will not be the last, as long as the Jiannu is not destroyed, there will be in the future." This time, they ate the sweetness, but they came more diligently. There are only a few armies that can supply Tartars into the Kou, and the ones in the east are like Huyukou and Gubeikou, which are too far away, and they are not our jurisdiction, so you don't need to think about it. And the pass suitable for a large number of Tartars to enter the Koukou, we have one here - the Victory Fort. ”

Liu Ruozai's face had become solemn.

Dong Ce paused and continued: "On June 30 of this year, the Nu chieftains Daishan, Sakhalian, Shuoto, Raidarhan, Ombdar, Handzhurektu, Genggar, etc., led a large army from Karaobao to enter the Victory Fort and go to Datong. Victory Fort was originally the place where the northern Hebei branch patrol road was stationed, and it was only thirty-seven miles away from Zhenhe Fort. Fortunately, the place where he was stationed had already been moved to Zhenhe Fort, otherwise, I am afraid that something unbearable would happen. Jiannu is familiar with the road, and most of them will break the edge from here in the future. As long as you enter the edge, you can sweep in all directions. ”

"And Dashigu, the north controls the side wall, and the south is connected to Shilipu, but that area happens to be the only place for Jiannu to go south. Jiannu is either reduced to a small force, if so, naturally there is no threat to the major fortresses. And if you want the army to pass, you must take the big stone valley! Second, if the thief army fights hard, you can attract the attention of the thief army, so that you can concentrate your forces and surround it in all directions, then it is impossible to say, it is a great victory to the hands of adults! ”

These words made Liu Ruozai even more surprised.

In the Ming Dynasty, especially after the orthodox years, whenever there was a big war, it was the civilian officials or the ministers who supervised the army, and how to fight, where to fight, why to fight, and other strategic decisions were all controlled by the civil ministers. As for the generals, as long as they are guaranteed to win this battle, they don't need to care about anything else. Strategy, military generals' tactical tactics.

It is precisely because of this policy of extremely encroaching on the authority of military generals that the Ming Dynasty has not produced a few geniuses from the orthodox year to the first half of the Chongzhen period. Even Qi Jiguang and other figures, the new book written by Ji Xiao is only about the method of marching exercises, and rarely involves the issue of grand strategic height.

The one with the highest strategic vision may be Li Chengliang, the chief soldier of Liaozhen who has been raising bandits for 40 years.

In the second half of the second year of Chongzhen, due to the successive wars, the power of military generals has risen, but there are several famous generals like Li Dingguo and Lu Xiangsheng.

The long-term vision embodied in Dong Ce's remarks can be said to have reached a strategic height.

Liu Ruozai seemed a little uncomfortable, his body twisted on the chair, adjusted his sitting posture, but his fingers were gently tapping on the armrest.

Although he is a soldier, he doesn't know much about soldiers - how many civilian officials do they understand? The few people who understand are mostly people who talk on paper. Therefore, what Dong Ce said was so tempting, he was already excited.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "If you say so, wouldn't there be a fortified city?" More than 1,000 elite soldiers? A year, is it possible? ”

"It's done!" Dong Ce breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, he was right, but it was slightly exaggerated, in order to highlight the importance of this big stone, and the deeper purpose was to try to win the strong support of Liu Ruozai in all aspects!

I was happy in my heart, but I smiled bitterly on my face: "It's difficult!" ”

Liu Ruozai's face did not change at all, and he said lightly: "Tell me!" ”

Dong Ce continued: "To build a large side pier, it still requires at least 58,000 large blue bricks, nearly 100 stones of white ash, and more than 500 taels of silver plus labor. A side pier is only 30 zhang around, the big stone Gu there is a reclamation training, although the city is small, it also has to be surrounded by three or four miles, but also to build tall and heavy to resist the attack of the slaves, even if it is to remove the artificial, not to mention that it is also a silver ten thousand taels. It's money. ”

"The second is the salary, now that the agricultural time has passed, we can only wait for the spring of the next year to grow grain, to recruit displaced people, naturally we have to give them food. Not to mention training soldiers from it, such a large physical exertion requires doubling the amount of food. Even if you don't pay the army, you must be full of food, otherwise you will definitely not be able to support it. ”

"In addition, you also need farm tools, ploughing cattle, seeds, clothing, weapons, armor, etc., all of which are urgently needed and indispensable."

Dong Ce put forward these requests because Liu Ruozai was a Qing official - the North Hebei Province was responsible for the supply and distribution of food and salaries for so many castles and more than 10,000 border troops, and it was impossible to say that there was no money, and the key was whether Liu Ruozai was willing to give it, and felt that it was worth it. If it were a black-eyed person like Hou Jiawei who couldn't see white flowers and money, he would definitely not pull out a dime, and he wouldn't give half of it. But Liu Ruozai is not greedy for money, he has his own style and bones, as long as he is convinced, he will definitely be able to support a lot. As for the last time Liu Ruozai said that it was not so much, but because he didn't see whether it was worth it or not, Dong Ce didn't take it to heart, I'm afraid that Liu Ruozai himself forgot about it!
