In fact, it is almost impossible for the Jianlu who retreated to the bitter cold land in the north to make a comeback. Unless the Dongjiang Army declines rapidly or falls apart, the Jianlu will have a small chance.

As for development and growth, Jianlu could not have such luck or illusions. Of course, they may not have realized that defeat would be the end of the road.

Historically speaking, the period from the seventh year of Tianqi to the second year of Chongzhen was the most difficult and dangerous period for the Jianlu Empire. Great famine and population dispersion put the Later Jin Dynasty on the verge of collapse.

Jiji's change was a turning point. Through plunder, the Jianlu obtained abundant money and materials, and also plundered a large number of people, thus overcoming the crisis.

Subsequently, the Jianlu invaders entered the pass every few years to plunder, constantly replenishing their material and manpower base, and reviving the Ming Dynasty's peasant uprising army, giving them a chance to breathe.

In other words, if the Jianqi did not rely on looting, they would not have the capital to confront the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and would even face the danger of financial collapse.

This is the true situation of the Jianlu who are still entrenched in Liaoshen. They are crushed to death by the Dongjiang Army. How can they still have the strength and opportunity to plunder?

As they retreated further north, the Jianlu's situation became even worse. The cold and barren land had to be cultivated and cultivated, and there was no way to purchase supplies. It would not take them more than a few years to degrade to the point where they could cover themselves with grass skirts and animal skins, even if they had the skills.

Of course, they can still place their hope in the Dongjiang Army's sudden death. I am afraid that this is the only chance of survival when Dorgon and his troops were defeated.

The more Jianlu were annihilated in the Liaoshen area, the safer the Liaodong region would be in the future, and the fewer troops needed to kill the Jianru would be smaller and the cost would be smaller.

Similarly, Dongjiang Town will continue to expand northward, and conflicts with Jianlu are inevitable. If we can kill and injure its effective forces in Liaoshen as much as possible, the resistance in the future will be smaller.

"I believe that all generals have understood the standards and purposes of Pingliao." Guo Dajing looked around the generals and said in a deep voice: "Annihilate as many of their effective forces as possible so that the captives will no longer be in trouble. Attacking the city and building the stronghold should be placed first.

Two."

Kong Youde took the lead and said: "Guo Shuai has repeatedly emphasized that the general has kept it in mind and dare not or forget it."

Feng Xijian also gave a guarantee, saying: "The general will be spared. Only heavy losses or annihilating blows can make Jianlu completely defeated and there will be no chance of rising again."

Guo Dajing smiled and nodded, and said: "If we, Dongjiang Town, want to continue to develop and grow, we can't just limit ourselves to Liaodong. Expanding northward on land has become the only option. If we eliminate one more Jianlu now, we will have one less enemy in the future."

"To rebuild and recover after Pingliao, we also need a relatively stable environment. Only by greatly weakening Jianlu will we not have to invest too much energy in the future."

When Guo Dajing said this, a sly sneer appeared on his face, and he said: "The more serious the Jianlu's strength losses are, the greater the possibility of being attacked by rebels when they flee. Not only the attached Mongolian tribes, but also the Jurchens

Ministries."

Install the latest version.]

When a tree falls and the hozens scatter, they fly away when disaster strikes. This is the ugliness of human nature, but it is also an endless historical phenomenon.

The more embarrassed the defeated Jianlu captives are and the more they lose their troops and generals, the more likely they are to arouse internal rebellion.

You must know that Guo Dajing, on behalf of the Dongjiang Army, has already given conditions for forgiveness. Those Mongolian and Jurchen tribes who want to make a living for themselves and do not want to perish with the Jianlu must seize this rare opportunity.

I am usually afraid of Jianlu, but Jianlu has become a lost dog. If I don't risk my life to beat him with a few sticks, I will have no choice but to run away to the bitter cold land in the north with Jianlu and suffer misfortune.

The most likely ones to retaliate should be the Mongolian tribes. After all, they are a loose alliance without national identity or blood ties.

The most unexpected rebellion was that of the Jurchen tribes. Precisely because it was unpredictable, the damage caused to Jianlu was likely to be huge and have a sensational effect.

It would be perfect if Dorgon could be captured alive or decapitated. I wonder which lucky guy could accomplish this great feat?

Guo Dajing is not envious, just a sense of pleasure for the winner when facing the defeat of the loser.

The generals were also well aware of Guo Dajing's judgment, and they all smiled knowingly or full of malicious speculations about Jianlu.

"The reason why we need to determine what is different about the uprising is to induce the enemy to make a counterattack. After all, the benefits will be greater that way."

"If you surrender after being defeated, you won't have any merit, and your treatment will be very different. It turns out that this is out of consideration to speed up the internal disintegration of Houjin."

The various thoughts and considerations show that the generals have a deeper understanding of the policy of recruiting surrender and accepting rebels. I believe they will have better responses when encountering actual situations.

After the military meeting, Guo Dajing left the generals of the Korean rebel army alone and had an in-depth conversation with them.

Under the advice of Mao Wenlong and Guo Dajing, the imperial court finally issued an edict to the Korean royal family, requiring them to abolish the fraternal alliance with Hou Jin.

To put it bluntly, at this point, North Korea has no choice but to choose sides.

Fortunately, the situation has changed drastically. The Dongjiang Army has firmly gained the upper hand, but the Jianlu troops are like a candle in the wind. I am afraid that even if the Ming court does not impose any pressure, the Korean royal family will make a wiser decision due to the change in the direction of the court.

With the efforts of the Shen family and other pro-Ming Qiulu faction, Lin Qingye was entrusted with the important task of taking the title of General Zhenglu, and was in charge of sending troops to assist in the war.

Cui Xiaoyi, Jin Zhongguo and other generals were finally able to legitimately lead their troops into Liaodong and participate in the decisive battle with Jianlu.

It was precisely these 12,000 North Korean troops assisting in the battle in Liaodong that enabled Guo Dajing to take a two-pronged approach and launch two annihilation battles at the same time.

"Guo Shuai is really too polite." Cui Xiaoyi politely declined Guo Dajing's thanks and said sincerely: "It is us who have to thank. It is Guo Shuai who gave me the gift to repay the kindness of rebuilding the Ming Dynasty and repay Jianlu."

An opportunity for deep hatred."

For Lin Qingye and Cui Xiaoyi, this is indeed not a fake relationship, but a true relationship.

Historically, Lin Qingye fought for the Ming Dynasty until the Southern Ming Dynasty, when he was captured and died. I don’t know how many Han army surrendered generals died in shame.

Cui Xiaoyi committed suicide in front of the Chongzhen Mausoleum, which made the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty feel ashamed.

There is another sentence that Cui Xiaoyi is embarrassed to say. That is, with the help of the Dongjiang Army, North Korea finally has an army that dares to challenge the Jianlu. This is a blessing for the country and a blessing for the people.

Guo Dajing smiled and nodded, and said: "Guo greatly admires the sincerity and loyalty of General Cui and other generals. When Ding Mao was in chaos, Guo had the honor to fight side by side with you; this time when Liao was defeated and the captives were annihilated, he fought with you all.

On the battlefield, it is an honor to defeat the most ferocious enemy faced by China and North Korea."

A few years ago, Guo Dajing was still a small flag officer, who came to prominence during Ding Mao's chaos. Now, he has reached a high position below one person in the Dongjiang Army and above ten thousand people, which makes people sigh.

"It is said that times make heroes, but from Jin's point of view, it is heroes that make times." Jin Zhongguo was not speaking sincerely as a compliment, "Guo Shuai is such a hero."

All the generals agreed, and they were friends and familiar with Guo Dajing. Most of them had witnessed Guo Dajing's rise from a small flag officer to a commander.

Guo Dajing said a few words of humility, and then asked about the situation of the North Korean army, what weapons and equipment it needed, and other supplies.

The less than 20,000 troops trained and armed by Lin Qingye have already merged with the Dongjiang Army in terms of weapons, equipment and tactics. There is only a gap in the number of artillery.

This is not a big problem. More than a hundred mortars are provided and relevant ammunition and materials are provided. The Korean rebels are fighting together with the special operations battalion, so they are even more confident.

"The Ming Dynasty had high hopes for Dongjiang Town, and also provided extremely generous and generous conditions." Cui Xiaoyi said with envy: "After the Ping Liao Dynasty, the five years of governance in Liaodong allowed the policy to be continued, and the military and civilians had no worries."

For the imperial court, or more accurately from the perspective of Emperor Chongzhen, Pingliao was Pingliao, and the goal was achieved by recovering the original land of Liaodong.

The emperor who was eager for quick success and the princes in the court who had no strategic vision and long-term planning had no plan to rebuild Liaodong. They were just the same old ones, and the effect can be imagined.

Even if there is a plan, the court cannot come up with the funds and materials needed for reconstruction.

Therefore, rather than saying that the imperial court gave Dongjiang Town loose governance rights, it was better to say that it was getting rid of a heavy burden.

The burden that was thrown off was not only the reconstruction of Liaodong and appeasing the people, but also the huge amount of Liao salary. This was the key factor that pushed the finances to collapse.

As for whether the court will continue to accept Liao's salary after the Liao Dynasty was defeated, or whether it will change its name and continue to squeeze the people, it all depends on the conscience of the court.

Guo Dajing could not criticize the Ming Dynasty too much in front of the Korean righteous men. They were both raised in feudal ethics, and their understanding of loyalty was completely different from Guo Dajing's.

"The reconstruction of Liaodong has a long way to go, requiring huge amounts of money and materials, as well as a huge population." Guo Dajing said solemnly: "Five years may not be enough, and we may not be able to see much effect."

Although Guo Dajing had great ambitions, he also had a clear understanding. Before turning Liaodong into a reliable material base, he did not have the capital to take over the Central Plains.

Although he advocated force, he did not want to kill his compatriots in a sea of ​​blood, or to try to cause as little harm to the Chinese people as possible.

Before the rise of the army, there were millions of Han people in Liaodong. Now even the number of rescued immigrants is less than one million, which has not yet reached Guo Dajing's goal.

Sufficient manpower and sufficient output, whether in production or farming, must be enough to support Guo Dajing to conquer the world. This will be a longer-term process, and even five or ten years may not be enough.

Cui Xiaoyi was very confident in Guo Dajing and said: "Guo Shuai's management ability is unparalleled. Five years is not enough to rebuild Liaodong, but it is not far away!"

After a pause, he said with a smile: "Not to mention anything else, the treatment of the Dongjiang Army soldiers makes our soldiers envious. A large area of ​​potatoes was cultivated this spring, and the people of Ping'an North Road will also have to cultivate it after autumn.

Thank you Guo Shuai for your suggestion."

North Pyongan Province in North Korea has planted a large number of potatoes this year, and it is hoped that the food shortage will be alleviated after the autumn harvest.

No matter who is the king of North Korea, it has not changed the poor situation of the people in North Korea. The lives of ordinary people are still poor and hungry.

The feudal dynasties were all the same. They had no worries about food and clothing, and even enjoyed luxury. There were only ruling classes such as aristocrats, bureaucrats, and powerful landlords.

Guo Dajing chuckled and said: "The soldiers of your army fought in blood and fought with our army to destroy the rebels, so they should enjoy the same treatment. If they are willing, I can make arrangements here. For example, according to the number of people in your army participating in the war, they will be given the same treatment."

The merit coupons will be cashed by Dongjiang Town after the war."

Dongjiang Town's preferential treatment for soldiers is mainly reflected in land and taxes. This is not only unique in China, but North Korean soldiers and civilians also dare not have such extravagant expectations.

Guo Dajing gave generously, firstly to boost the morale of the Korean army, and secondly to obtain labor force for the reconstruction of Liaodong.

In later generations, there was a kind of labor export, which was to provide fields and borrow foreign labor for farming and development.

Or it can be seen as the North Koreans contracting the land. Although the taxes they paid were small, they were not nothing. The fields were fully utilized and did not become deserted.

The reason why Guo Dajing dared to do this was that he used the current Liaodong as his base to continuously expand territory. The increase in the amount of land prevented him from worrying about insufficient allocation and use.

However, when Cui Xiaoyi and others heard Guo Dajing's promise, they all looked surprised. First, they didn't expect him to be so generous. Second, North Korean soldiers were farming in a foreign country, which seemed a bit nondescript.

In fact, there was no nationality law at that time. On both sides of the Yalu River, it was not a serious matter for Liao people and Koreans to live across the border.

Land annexation in North Korea is also serious. It is very difficult for ordinary people to own their own fields, or to pay less rent and taxes as tenants.

Cui Xiaoyi thought about it and realized that there was a lot of room for flexibility in this, and it would also be welcomed by the Korean soldiers participating in the war.

The so-called merit coupons are obviously not for the person but the coupon. North Korean soldiers can let their family members, relatives and friends use the coupons to farm the land; and the soldiers who were disabled or killed in the battle can also use it as a pension for Dongjiang Town.

"Thank you Guo Shuailong for your kindness." Cui Xiaoyi thought about it, handed over his hands in thanks, and said: "Cui will definitely inform the entire army of this good news as soon as possible. Our soldiers will also be happy and their morale will be boosted."

Guo Dajing smiled and said, "It's just a little bit of gratitude that I can do, but it's not worth mentioning."

After a pause, he reminded: "This commander will write a letter to General Lin to explain his intention. This will prevent some officials in your country from not understanding his intention and causing trouble to General Lin and General Cui."

"Shuai Guo is thoughtful." Cui Xiaoyi cupped his hand and said, "Cui would like to thank you."

Guo Dajing revealed the matter and discussed other war matters with the North Korean generals before ending the meeting.

The issue of reward coupons opened up Guo Dajing's thinking. Regarding the number of rewards issued, he will give 20,000 coupons to the North Korean army.

In other words, generals such as Lin Qingye and Cui Xiaoyi will have seven to eight thousand more reward coupons in their hands. Whether they are given to relatives and friends or used by themselves, it is Guo Dajing's gratitude to them.

Abusing power for personal gain, taking kickbacks, no matter how he calls it or defines it. Guo Dajing still believes that it is of great help in making good friends with these North Korean generals.
