Liu Mingqi's reaction was so strong that it was beyond everyone's expectations.

Originally, even Miao Yan felt that Liu Mingqi had done enough in Jiangnan.

Although I will definitely be scolded when I go back, Miao Yan's memorial went up a few days ago, and greatly praised Liu Mingqi for standing up for the people of Dakang and asked the court to commend him.

With Miao Yan's status and his achievements at this time and his unsuccessful achievements, the civil and military ministers in the capital would sell him face, let alone the emperor.

Therefore, after Liu Mingqi returned to Beijing, he had no other consequences except for normal reprimands and going to the clan mansion to be scolded and beaten.

Maybe King Su, who was the same as Miao Yan, would only lift the board high and then gently fall down.

After all, Liu Mingqi is a rare talent in the royal family and is willing to kill the enemy regardless of his life in danger. Such a good man from the Liu family is admired by King Su!

The same goes for the emperor.

King De now violated the orders of his ancestors and even participated in the war. He would never become the crown prince or the emperor in his life.

Eliminated such a biggest and most troublesome obstacle. The emperor who had just successfully made his concubine pregnant with a dragon seed was too late to be happy. How could he scold King De for being alienated?

He won't even have time to win over King De!

After all, King De was only eighteen years old and could assist his son for fifty years!

It has to be said that as an important official of the Legalists, Miao Yan's analysis of the emperor and the court was very correct in his thinking.

But he didn't think about Liu Mingqi's thoughts.

No one has any.

I don’t know what Liu Mingqi has to think.

However, what Liu Mingqi said just now, "The battle has not been finished yet", must have profound meaning.

Liu Renhuai frowned and asked, "Your Highness, you are not going to go back to the capital, so the war in the west has nothing to do with you... Do you want to go north to meet Prince Yi and the others?"

Smart people are smart people, and they suddenly think of the key points.

Liu Mingqi didn't hide it, "Yes, the situation in the west and north is still stable now, at least there is no major crisis, but the northeast is in danger. This time, Mingjing and the others went to harass Shi Wei's rear, but it only eased a little.

As long as the Shiwei people recover, even if they do not capture Jinzhou City and Ningyuan City in August, it will be possible in September. By then, all the barriers to Northeast China in our Dakang will be lost, leaving only the lonely Great Wall and Shanhaiguan defense line. How can it last for a long time?"

"Since September, the temperature of Shiwei began to get colder. They still have the strength to fight for another month?" Wanyan Yi frowned, "When we were on the northwest, north and northeast, they would have to end the battle at the latest in August and return to their territory in September. Otherwise, it would delay time. If we go back in winter, they would freeze them to death!"

"The Liaoxi Corridor is not too cold." Liu Mingqi said leisurely, "As long as these two cities can be captured, they can rest on the spot. Who dares to attack at this time to retake the Liaoxi Corridor?"

Everyone fell silent.

They found that their thinking had entered a misunderstanding.

If it were nomadic people like Qiyan, they would definitely run away after fighting. Even if they occupied the city, they would only burn, kill, loot and return with a full load.

Because they don’t know how to manage a city at all, nor do they have the habit of living in it.

For them, the city is a kind of constraint, resolving all their advantages.

But Shi Wei is different!

Shiwei already has four large capitals and has become a semi-nova and semi-settled tribe.

The farming culture in the Central Plains is still far away, but the farmers around their city have also begun to plant wheat, raise livestock, etc., which are slowly approaching the Central Plains culture.

Therefore, if they set up the Liaoxi Corridor and occupied Ningyuan City and Jinzhou City, the next step would definitely not be to leave, but would summon many farmers to come and make this place their own land.

At that time, their strength will become stronger and stronger, and the threat to Dakang will become greater and greater.

In fact, the reason why Liu Mingqi said this is because he saw actual examples.

That is my Ming Dynasty and my Qing Dynasty.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the border troops threw away their armor and lost all of Liaoning. The most important of them were the big towns such as Tieling, Chenyang, Anshan, Panjin, Jinzhou and Ningyuan, as well as all the surrounding people.

Although the Ming Dynasty was a little panicked at that time, it did not lose its composure.

Because there is Shanhaiguan!

Shanhaiguan has never been conquered!

Even if one million troops attack, they will be forced to retreat by natural danger.

However, I, the Qing Dynasty, was not that stupid. Since Nurhaci failed at Shanhaiguan, Huang Taiji, who succeeded to the throne, used another method.

He bypassed Shanhaiguan, set out from the mountains outside Ningyuan City or Jinzhou City, and attacked the Ming Dynasty from the weak point of the Great Wall defense line. He burned and killed Shandong, Shanxi, Hebei and other places in total and robbed countless money, grain and population.

After several times, the northern convenience of the Ming Dynasty was completely deteriorated, which forced Chongzhen to become more embarrassed and the taxes on the southern farmers became more and more violent.

In the end, the farmers could not survive, so they naturally "eat their mother, use their mother, and don't pay any food when they come to the King of Breaking", and overthrew my Ming Dynasty in a vigorous manner - just as Zhu Chongba did back then.

So look!

Now you still think that without the Liaoxi Corridor as a barrier, will Dakang be safe?

Absolutely not!

Jia Xiaode didn't understand these things, but he still admired Liu Mingqi very much.

Whether it is actual combat or control of the strategic situation, Liu Mingqi is more powerful than any official today.

Not to mention anything else, no one else could come up with the one who asked Liu Mingjing and the others to lead 5,000 Yulin Guards to attack the rear of the battle situation in the western Liaoning Corridor and burned countless enemies' food and weapons to support this surprise soldier.

Looking back now, although Liu Mingjing and the others were very dangerous, they finally completed the task perfectly, greatly alleviating the crisis in Ningyuan City and Jinzhou City.

If before that, Jinzhou City and Ningyuan City were the chopping boards, then at least they still have a chance to breathe, and the Shiwei coalition forces dared not attack them day and night anymore.

At least they dared not do this until new military supplies and food came.

Otherwise, there would be no more food and drink, and a group of soft-legged shrimps could still attack the city tower?

The Dakang army eats and drinks well every day!

Therefore, Jia Xiaode simply asked directly: "Your Highness, what are you going to do? Taking advantage of the rescue of Jiangnan now, will you go there again, and lead the Cao soldiers and the Yulin Guard?"

Miao Yan frowned.

After more than a month, nearly 7,000 soldiers from the canal were left.

The loss exceeded half.

Although they killed many Japanese pirates along the way, their own losses were really great.

After all, these canal soldiers are not considered elite soldiers at all, and they are much worse than the kind of situation that Liu Mingqi told about.

But!

As long as these more than 7,000 people have been cultivated for a while, absorb all the combat experiences and lessons learned in more than a month, and continue to train in a targeted manner, they will definitely be a completely different super strong soldier at this time next year.

Miao Yan dared to bet that even the Nine Guards of the Imperial Guards and their own canals were at most comparable.

Of course, this is not fair, because the canal soldiers have wooden grenades, hell cocktails and other god-level weapons, which is a great bonus.

But there is no fairness in war?

Winning is the bottom line.

This is what Liu Mingqi told him.

Miao Yan felt it was right, so he didn't want his elite seeds to fight to the Northeast.

After all, in that serious situation, they may not be able to play a big role even if they go there.

The Shiwei coalition forces are not 100,000, nor 200,000, but a total of 400,000!

Li Nanyuan led more than 50,000 elite imperial guards, but he didn't even see the shadow of Ningyuan City. What's the use of just over 7,000 cannon soldiers?

As a result, Liu Mingqi said: "They went without any use, and they were wasting the seeds I cultivated... Governor Liu, this group of people is actually a waste in your hands. I think they should be asked to advise the imperial guards, so that they will have an advantage!"

The boy had good intentions, but Wanyan Yi shook his head: "No matter how powerful these infantry are, they are not good at dealing with the cavalry on the grassland, right? It is better for them to be able to show their strengths and play in the south."

Miao Yan also said, "Why can our Qi Jiguang array succeed this time? The reason is that the water towns in Jiangnan cannot be used, most of them are infantry! If the cavalry is scattered on the grassland, no matter how powerful the military array is, it will not be able to stop the cavalry!"

"hehe!"

Liu Mingqi smiled disdainfully.

Of course, this group of uninformed guys cannot know what the large hollow array is, what the Spanish square array is, and what the real Qi Jiguang array is!

Not to mention the large hollow formation of the Eight-Nation Alliance directly defeated the tens of thousands of elite cavalry of Senggelinqin, which of course had the power of gunpowder guns and artillery shells.

Just talking about Qi Jiguang formation can destroy the cavalry.

Why?

After Grandpa Qi pacified the Japanese pirates, he went to the Nine Borders of Datong City. Then, the descendant of the Mongols, Wasairen, was beaten to the point of being beaten without any temper.

The Mongols are all cavalrymen!

How is the result?

Nine Borders have not had any war for more than ten years!

This is what my grandson said, "Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements."

In comparison, the Li family in Northeast China reported more than 40 major disasters, and was promoted all the way, and was extremely wealthy. In the end, they developed wild boar skins into a major problem. They should have been cut into pieces.

Of course, this is also because after Grandpa Qi arrived at Jiubian, he changed the Qi Jiguang array for a while, and did not follow Jiangnan's approach in a rigid way.
