Chapter 1090 Before the war is more like years ago
In the original time and space where there was no Wang Tong, the so-called Wanli Three Great Levies exhausted the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, and Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng tried their best to reverse the Ming Dynasty's finances turned into a vicious circle of swaying in the two states of bankruptcy and imminent bankruptcy, but this time, whether it was Banzhou or Ningxia, there was no big mess, and even the assessment of these two chaos also added new tax sources to the Ming Dynasty.

And the military expenses of the nine sides, which originally caused a great burden on the finances of the Ming Dynasty, can be reduced a lot because the military households have become civilian households, and several regiments of the forbidden army have been stationed.
Not to mention, the opening of Tianjin Wei, the opening of Songjiang Mansion, and the commercial tax revenue brought about by the commercial prosperity everywhere, although the field is still declining year after year, but the Ming Dynasty's finances are an extremely generous situation at this time.
After several calculations, it will be found that the current financial situation of the Ming Dynasty is very relaxed, and it can fully support the mobilization and operation of this army.
In fact, the real difficulty is not in military spending and troop transfer, but in the Ming Dynasty from the center to the locality, basically no one is good at how to arrange such a large-scale mobilization and support of soldiers and horses, but also Wang Tong to offer advice, let the businessmen participate extensively, and let more advanced private business groups join in, which can be solved.
Of course, nearly 200,000 people, almost throughout the transfer of the entire northern Ming Dynasty, grain, grass, people, horses, and equipment are huge, military salaries and various expenses, and silver is really flowing in and out, according to the usual rules of the Ming Dynasty, from the household department, the military department, to all kinds of people who operate below, etc., do not know what kind of wealth to make.
Wang Tong also understood very well in his heart, so he also made it clear in the recital that since he still has the official title of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he must use the Jinyi Guard system to monitor the operation of the logistics and munitions system in this war into Korea, and the palace also supports this, and the East Factory is also ready to follow up.
It is impossible not to let people make money, but there can be no negligence in such a major event of the war, and Wang Tong is also worried that some people are too ruthless and too black, and as a result, the major event is delayed.
The palace is also very in favor of this opinion, even if Tian Yi, the eunuch in charge of the inner court, has such and such opinions on this, and he can send people to monitor the income and expenditure of civilian officials in military logistics, but it will do no harm to all parts of the palace.
There is a separate channel for Wang Tong and Emperor Wanli's reply and correspondence, and many people in the outer court and even the inner court have no way to understand it.
I don't know if the two of them have corresponding communication, but this time the civilian control of the army in North Korea was actually entrusted to Liaoning Governor Xu Guangguo.
In fact, when it was determined that Wang Tong was about to serve as the commander of the army entering the DPRK, all the civil servants who were qualified to serve as the commander of the army in the DPRK were all working hard in the open and in secret, and the officialdom was up and down, regardless of whether they understood military affairs or not, but one thing was unified, that is, he was very confident in Wang Tong, and Wang Tong led the army to fight, and he would inevitably win a big victory and make a meritorious deed.
That is to say, as long as you follow into the court, then there must be meritorious service and profit, which is very beneficial to your own status and power, then Wang Xijue went with him, and the position of this first assistant seems to be taken for granted, because the merit has reached this point, if you go to your own family, at least it can continue to be prosperous and rich for more than ten years.
However, this arrangement of the imperial court made the upper and lower very stunned, it is rumored that Wang Xijue had admonished in front of the Wanli Emperor, since the court is assured to let Wang Tong lead the army into the court to fight, then it should be given full trust, in the past, Wang Tong did not have any civil and military control around him, the same big victory, the same is not abnormal, he Wang Xijue went to Jianzhou together, and they were all fully delegated, and did not play any role, and this time to Liaoning, the most important thing is the cooperation of Liaoning as the rear, Xu Guangguo, the governor of Liaoning, has proved that he has responded in a timely manner and done a decent job, so it is also appropriate for him to be in this position and cooperate with Wang Tong.
There is nothing wrong with Wang Xijue's theory, but the bigwigs in the DPRK and China are all scolding, this is the cabinet chief assistant blocking the way for others to advance!
Everyone knows that after entering the court, there will be a great meritorious profit sharing, after getting this profit, the meritorious work has accumulated to a certain point, and it is inevitable to go up, but what position do the six Shangshu, the imperial envoys of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the cabinet scholars go up, it is nothing more than the first and second assistant of the cabinet, so isn't it a threat to him Wang Xijue, and Xu Guangguo, the governor of Liaoning, is different, with shallow qualifications and low position, even if he shares the profit, he has to stay in Liaoning for a long time, or he can only go up in a large province or six ministries for a few years, and there is no threat at all.
Scolding and scolding, the DPRK and China have also made a decision, and everyone is not sure whether this matter was instigated by Wang Tong himself, if Wang Tong is doing it himself, then rashly opposing it is afraid that it will offend many people.
Regarding the matter of the internal officials and supervising the army, the inner court has no competition for this position, there are so many people who are qualified to go, and these qualified roles may not be rare for this meritorious accumulation, with this time, it is right to stay in the palace to flatter and flatter the Wanli Emperor and the empress.
As a result, the eunuch Chen Ju was appointed as the supervisor of the army, but there are special exceptions to the appointment of the supervisor this time, Cai Nan was appointed as the deputy supervisor of the army, and everyone understands this personnel appointment, Chen Ju went to North Korea this time, I am afraid it is also a decoration, after all, this Cai Nan is the real practice.
In November of the twentieth year of Wanli, the guards led by Wang Tong of Liao went north, his guard was only five hundred, but the cavalry that followed him was almost a thousand, these cavalry were not with him, but as a messenger to deliver news, every day there were letterheads sent to various border towns, Beijing and Liaoning, Songjiang Mansion also had letterheads.
The 1st, 5th, and 7th regiments of the Huwei Army, the Huwei Army, and the Huwei Army Artillery Corps led by Li Hutou were all stationed near the Beijing Division.
In the southeast direction of the right guard of Dingliao, the area of Jiuliancheng and Yizhou is the base camp of the army that entered the DPRK this time, and now Li Rusong, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, has arrived in Haizhou, Liaoning.
In fact, there are a few troops who do not take the route in the Ming Dynasty, because of the grassland merchant group, as long as they have enough silver to give, they can set up military stations and camps for them on the grassland, and there are city cavalry who are familiar with the road to guide the way, all the way to Liaoning.
It's just that the sailor division is more troublesome, and the Mai guerrilla department stationed in Tianjin Wei also has to meet with Chen Lan and go to North Korea together, but not to mention how long it takes to get from Guangdong to Tianjin Wei, whether it is Tianjin Wei or the Liaodong Peninsula in winter, as well as the various ports on the Yellow Sea side of North Korea, there is almost all sea ice frozen, this is a big trouble for the ships, and it cannot be ignored, the sea ice on the Busan side is relatively light, but even if the fleet led by Chen Lan adds the thousands of Mai guerrillas, the overall strength of the Daming Navy Division is average, It is necessary to wait to join up with the other "Volunteer Fleet".
Therefore, the Daming Navy Division will wait in Laizhou Port in Shandong until the spring of the twenty-first year of Wanli before setting off.
Along this route, these officials have more or less a relationship with the "Tianjin-Songjiang" economic system, holding banquets and banquets, and sending gifts are indispensable.
There was no surprise in the news from the North Korean side, and the Korean Badao was not so willing to be controlled by the Japanese invaders, and the riots and uprisings organized by the landlords and those fugitive officials broke out one after another, but they were quickly suppressed, and it can be seen from the intelligence that the scale of the riots became smaller and smaller as time went by, and the duration of the riots became shorter and shorter.
However, there is one thing Wang Tong did not expect, the battle between the Korean navy and the Japanese navy did not fall very closely, and it can even be said to be an advantage, but after all, the whole territory is about to be occupied by Japan, and there is no port and supply, and the combat effectiveness of the naval ships will be greatly reduced, and I don't know how long this advantage can last.
North Korea was invaded by the Japanese invaders, what is the matter with my Ming Dynasty, this is the attitude of the Ming Dynasty, the North Korea arranged in the Ming Dynasty to cry and complain every day, Li Rusong led thousands of cavalry into Liao, and when he was in Yongping Mansion, there were officials of the Korean Licao to follow, first thanking Dade, and then begging every day to urge Li Rusong to go to North Korea as soon as possible.
You live or die in North Korea, what does it matter to my Li family, Li Rusong did not go south to the camp on the bank of the Yalu River after arriving in Haizhou, the soldiers and horses he led went to the Yizhou area, Li Rusong led the guards to Liaoyang, as for the court said that the attack on North Korea, can not calmly gather troops for the Japanese to deploy the statement was also taken by the North Korean envoys, Li Rusong simply replied with a sentence of "prudence first", and then ignored it again.
Liaoyang City is the foundation of the Li family's generals, and it is also the richest and most prosperous city in Liaoning, in the past, at this time, everyone was busy with the New Year, and the city and outside were jubilant, a scene of celebration, but this time the ancestors trained thousands of cavalry were lost in Pyongyang, and the whole Liaoning was wartime, and the backbone of the general army of Liaoxi led the army to Yizhou, and the city was deserted, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
Li Rusong returned to Liaoyang but not for the New Year, he originally wanted to go back to Liaoyang after the war to see, who would have thought that just after the Shanhaiguan, the messenger sent by Li Chengliang greeted him, saying that the old lady had given a death order, and the young master must be handed over to Shenyang, and there are very important matters to discuss. ro! ~!
