When they arrived in Zunhua, Zhou Zheng and his party stopped to rest, and Zhou Zheng also received Governor Jizhou and others.
The Jianluo attacked again, and Jizhou was also relatively nervous. At the beginning, Jianluo entered the block at Xifeng. Governor Jizhou was the first to be convicted after the war and beheaded and abandoned the city.
Zhou stayed in Zunhua for a day, briefly chatted with a group of people, and under the escort of Cao Bianjiao, he continued to rush to Shanhaiguan.
Chongzhen continued to write letters, urging Zhou Zheng to go to Liaodong as soon as possible, and to raise troops to go north to Pingliao.
After arriving at Shanhaiguan, Zhou Zheng, accompanied by Cao Bianjiao, patrolled the army, inspected various equipment and city defenses.
Cao Bianjiao thought that more than ten years ago, he was also ordered to accompany Zhou Zheng to wander around. In a daze, more than ten years passed.
Zhou Zheng is now the Minister of War, Ji Liao Supervisor, and he has also become the General Soldier of Shanhaiguan, with countless military exploits.
'Everything comes from adults! '
Cao Bianjiao saluted the encounter with emotion, and said without moving his face: "My lord, there are currently 15,000 people in Shanhaiguan and 5,000 cavalry. The final plan is to expand to 15,000 in the next two years..."
To build a cavalry of 15,000 people, the investment is not a little bit.
Zhou Zheng didn't care, and said, "This time I have captured countless numbers of seizures in the Northwest, I have already sent people to deal with them. Before the end of the year, I will allocate one hundred thousand taels to you. Here you are, don't let me down."
Cao Bianjiao was overjoyed, and hurriedly apologized, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, my lord, for up to three years, I will definitely build a cavalry for adults that can fight hard against Jianluo!"
Zhou Zheng smiled and nodded, and said, "I believe you, you stay in Shanhaiguan, and I will go to Ningyuan."
Cao Bianjiao was startled and said, "My lord, the emperor, does the court ask the adults to send troops to Ping Liao as soon as possible?"
Zhou Zheng looked up at the north and said: "In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the imperial court is confused and the official is still awake."
Cao Bianjiao suddenly woke up, nodded slightly, and said with some worry: "My lord, what should the emperor say to the court?"
Zhou Zheng carried his hands on his back and sneered: "Huang Taiji can use up to 50,000 soldiers and horses. He can surround Youtun, but he can't do much else. I have moved Pidao and Lushun. "
Cao Bianjiao understood, and said, "My lord, please be careful."
Cao Bianjiao said to be careful, whether he was careful to build captives or to be careful of the court, which is hard to say.
Zhou Zheng is no longer the same, he smiled softly and said, "Yeah."
Zhou was in Shanhaiguan for a short rest and set off for Ningyuan.
At this time, Sun Chuanting chased him up, sitting in Zhou Zheng's carriage, analyzing the current situation.
Sun Chuanting grilled the small carbon stove in the carriage, and said: "The battle of the adults in the northwest has alarmed Daming, and the prestige is unprecedented. The court should not be chaotic. However, the emperor and the court have forced the adults to enter Pingliao and need to be cautious."
Zhou Zheng looked at the carbon stove, flipped his hands, and said lightly: "There is a saying in the capital that there is'cunning rabbit and dead dog cooking'. This sentence is correct. But this cunning rabbit is not a gangster in the northwest."
Sun Chuanting raised his head to look at Zhou Zheng, and said in a condensed manner: "My lord is planning to raise Jian to protect himself?"
Zhou Zheng looked up at him and said with a smile: "Do you think Jianlu needs me to raise it? Or do you think that Da Ming really has the strength of Ping Liao?"
Sun Chuanting listened to his speech, unable to answer for a while, and fell into deep thought.
With Zhou Zheng's suppression of the Northwest Rebellion, an unprecedented "confidence" appeared in the court. The army was millions, the generals were like clouds, and the army was hit hard. It was time to quell the Liao Dynasty and recover the Northeast.
But in fact, the current national power of the Ming Dynasty is far inferior to that of the Wanli period, and the Jiankui is stronger than the Wanli period. The comparison between the Ming Dynasty and the Jiankui, from top to bottom, is almost always our weak and the strong. Where is Chongzhen's phrase "ping" Liao' is really Ping Liao.
Sun Chuanting thought for a while and said, "What is your plan?"
Zhou Zheng just took his time and said: "Liaodong, Tianjin Wei governs Yongping Mansion, Hejian Mansion, and Shandong. These are already connected together. It is the emperor’s will and I govern it. It can be a legitimate innovation. In two or three years, I will have it. Confidence is calm."
Sun Chuanting understood, and said, "If this is the case, it would be great. The official will be worried that the court will change again."
Daming bad things are in the court, and those who want to do things may not have the opportunity.
Zhou Zheng glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, take your time."
Sun Chuanting felt that Zhou Zheng had other plans, so he didn't ask much, and said, "My lord, King Lu was dismissed because of Wen Tiren and was ordered not to leave his government. Shandong's innovation was basically not hindered. There is no problem with commercial taxation, military reform, etc., the biggest problem. It’s still a field. Governor Ma... a little frustrated."
Ma Shiying was never a competent minister. Before, he turned to Cui Chengxiu and later to Zhou Zheng. Although he did something, he was speculative and lacked the desire to do things.
Zhou Zheng caught fire and said: "Look for my eldest brother, next year I will find a way to recommend Ma Shiying to Beijing, Shandong, and give it to our own people."
Zhou Fang is now the Shandong Senate. According to the current personnel turnover rate, Zhou Fang will serve as a provincial chief ambassador for up to two years.
Sun Chuanting was stunned, and nodded immediately, saying: "What the lord said is that the other is money and food. The money and food provided by Zhou's Chamber of Commerce are already somewhat insufficient."
Zhou Zheng’s innovation is almost all-round, including the army, more than 200,000 soldiers, and disaster relief. Three million per year is unstoppable. Zhou’s Chamber of Commerce itself also needs to operate. The annual profit is no longer sufficient to support Zhou Zheng. A growing reform plan.
Zhou Zheng pondered for a while and said, "The sea trade has expanded."
Naturally, Sun Chuanting knew about Haimao's affairs, thought for a while, and said: "Now the Northeast is basically our site. It should be a little more concealed, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
Zhou Zheng nodded, looked at Sun Chuanting, and said with a smile: "You must have a lot of questions in your heart, don't you plan to ask?"
Many people around Zhou Zheng have thoughts about Zhou Zheng's things. Zhou Zheng has done so many things, far more than what a minister should do. But they didn't ask, because they were tied to Zhou Zheng, so there was no need to ask more.
It is Sun Chuanting, such a smart man, who has never asked.
Sun Chuanting also smiled on his face, and said, "My lord, do you need to ask the next official? What if you ask?"
Zhou Zheng looked at Sun Chuanting with a deep smile hidden in his eyes.
Looking at Zhou Zheng, Sun Chuanting also smiled without saying a word, and smiled in his heart.
…
Sun Chuanting got off the bus halfway and returned to Tianjin Wei. Zhou Zheng continued on his way and came to Ningyuan.
Jin Guoqi was nervous and entered the mansion welcoming Zhou Zheng. At the same time, he said: "My lord, Jianlu has been besieging Youtun for more than half a month, and he doesn't attack. It seems that he still wants to besieged for help."
Zhou Zheng directly denied, saying: "Jianlu doesn't have the strength to continue the attack. They should still negotiate."
Jin Guoqi was puzzled and said, "My lord, haven't the peace talks been broken?"
The peace talks with Jianluo presided over by Yang Sichang, with Yang Sichang being imprisoned, have broken down, and the Ming Dynasty will never have any'peace talks' with Jianluo in the case of the ruling and opposition parties. (End of this chapter)
