Yang Hao looked particularly majestic today. His official robe, replenishment, jade belt on his waist, and black hat on his head all showed his superior identity. He was a special supervisor. Even the governor of Ji Liao who came from afar could only surrender to him. After Yang Hao appeared, Wang Keshou took the lead, and various governors, inspectors, military supervision roads, grain storage roads, grain management and other civil servants, generals, deputy generals, generals, and guerrillas were the other squads. The civil servants entered one after another and signed up for Yang Hao to worship. Because of his noble status, Yang Hao did not ask him to worship. He invited Wang Keshou to wait at his lower left head. After all the civil servants visited, everyone stood up and waited for Yang Hao's instructions.

Yang Hao deliberately glanced at the generals present with majestic eyes. Standing in front were Du Song, General of Shanhaiguan, General of Baoding, General of Baoding, General of Zhao Menglin, General of Ma Lin, General of Liaodong, General of Liaodong, General of Liu Ying, General of Bingzheng, General of General of Liaodong, General of Liaodong, General of Liaoning, General of Liaoning, General of Liaoning, General of Liaoning, General of Liaoning, General of Liaoning, General of Liaoning, General of Liaoning, and Zhang Chengyin. These generals and command-level military officers stood at the forefront of military generals. There were eight serious generals alone, and there were dozens of senior military generals, including dozens of deputy generals, generals, guerrillas and other senior military generals. There were nearly 400 military positions above the Dushi Division, and more than 100 people were summoned to Shenyang. However, they were not qualified to attend today's meeting and would only appear when the oath-taking meeting was in a while.

After a moment of silence, when people were nervous and raised again and again, the whole hall was very quiet, Yang Hao read out the edict that Emperor Wanli had just drafted in public. The edict was obtained by the chief assistant Fang Chengzhe from the palace and sent someone to send him a speed of 400 miles to Liaodong. The edict was verbally stern, and he pointed out the names of several general officers. Everyone was kneeling down to listen to the order, but the person who heard the name quickly laid his head on the ground again to express his fear and fear. While listening to the order, everyone understood that the emperor was very concerned about the Liao incident and felt excited and nervous.

In recent years, it may be because of poor health. Wanli has been fat for many years and is not good at doing things. The senior civil and military officials all know that the emperor has been lame for a long time and rarely walks in the palace. Not to mention places like Nanyuan to relax. The emperor has hardly left the palace for more than 20 years since the 20th year of Wanli. He is fat but not good at doing things. The difference in his physical condition is naturally not to be said.

The emperor had long ignored ordinary national affairs. In recent years, even the lack of officials from various departments was not very careful. Even Fang Congzhe, the cabinet had only one grand sir, who had requested to add Wanli many times. In Wanli's mind, he could rest assured as long as he found a qualified housekeeper in the outside court. Ten years later, Wanli was very satisfied with the Shen Shixing. Later, the chief minister was also carefully selected. Fang Congzhe was the most satisfying one he had selected in the past ten years. Fang Congzhe's efforts made Wanli even more negligent, but there was only one thing. When it comes to military and national affairs, such as the matter of military and national development, Wanli must do it himself. In the Liao affairs, he issued the orders, including raising funds, dispatching troops, gathering generals, and commanding commanders. These things were handled by Wanli. However, the selection of Yang Hao was not entirely decided by Wanli himself, but the suggestion of Fang Congzhe and other court officials. In the end, Wanli agreed.

When reading the edict, Yang Hao looked very serious. After reading it, he ordered everyone to stand up, and then said sternly: "This supervisor was trusted by the emperor and gave him a heavy responsibility to destroy the Chou Cap. All of you are deeply grateful to the country. Now you should work together to kill the Chou Cap to repay Your Majesty. Jiannu is just a clown who jumps off the beam. As long as my heavenly soldiers arrive, you will definitely be defeated. As long as you declare military discipline, you will be rewarded for your mistakes, and you will be punished for your mistakes. You will be prohibited. Beat the drum and advance, and you will be sounded and retreat. With the general's cannon in front, the muskets and arrows behind, you will be defeated, and then you will be forced to fight the enemy's spirit. Then you will be forced to burn the village, destroy the fields, and cut off the roots. Then you will be peaceful in the east. There will be peace in the next few decades!"

Yang Hao's words were also a fundamental siege of the Jianzhou ministry, the so-called Jiannu or the Donglu.

The four routes were combined, and the main use of heavy firearms was also a feature of the Ming army's war in the late Ming Dynasty.

Hand-to-hand combat is the specialty of cavalry and servants. They neglect management and training of battalions. The court often owes wages and military supplies are far from enough. They are clear about this situation. The role of battalions is to arrange battle formations, attack firearms, and slam the enemy's edge. It is best to block Jiannu's charge, and then the generals gather the servants and cavalry to chase and kill, and use this method to win.

The general's artillery or the second general's artillery, the crow-mouth cannon, the tiger-squat cannon, and the Folang aircraft. This time, the northern and western routes of the army were the most firearms, and the southern routes were mainly Liaozhen soldiers. There were a few cavalry and there were not many firearms, with the fewest firearms, and the most difficult and farthest road was the Eastern route. From Kuandian all the way north, there were deep mountains and dense forests. The Jurchen roads were more familiar, the terrain was more favorable, and it was difficult to carry large firearms, and the number would be very small.

As long as you block the front with battalions, then the elite cavalry rushed, then burned down the villages and cities along the way, flattened the core area of ​​Jurchen rule, and defeated its main force, it did not necessarily have to be annihilated. The core of this strategic goal is not to annihilate the enemy, but to conquer Hetura and destroy the vitality of the entire Jurchen tribe.

This is also the way the Ming army conquered the Jurchens in the third year of Chenghua. With the famous "Chenghua Conquest", the Jurchens' vitality gradually recovered after a hundred years. Of course, this time it was also planned to do the same as during the Chenghua period.

This is also the reason why four-way attacks must be launched. Only in this way can the Jurchens prevent the Jurchens from leading the main force away and dragging the battle into a bad battle, which will eventually make the Ming army unable to find an opponent in the deep mountains and forests, and will be futile and be in vain.

Liu Ying was not tall, but his body was amazingly strong. He was not young anymore. As early as decades ago, he went to war with his father. In his early years, he mainly fought against the southwest razor. Later, during the 20th year of Wanli, Liu Ying also entered the Korean War during the Japanese invasion in the 20th year of Wanli. By this time, he was already a veteran, but his waist and back were still straight and his spirit was strong. When he heard Yang Hao's words, he confirmed his previous rumors and speculations. His copper-colored face was full of helplessness. He knew that the tragic and dangerous situation of the Eastern Army must be his own.

After Yang Hao gave a general instruction, an aide stepped forward and began to explain in detail.

Like the wind that was released in advance, the army dispatched more than 90,000 main combat soldiers, and there were also 30,000 to 40,000 civilians, with a total force of about 130,000, divided into four routes of attack.

In addition to the Ming army, Ye He soldiers were expected to send two thousand troops, which made many people dissatisfied with this number. Ye He troops and Jianzhou troops were already dying enemies. This time, Ye He troops refused to do their best. The two ends of the head and rats made the Northern Army not very strong. If Ye He was willing to do his best, the Northern Army could also stand alone.

The Eastern Army had already informed the King of Korea, the King of Korea, and the Korean side agreed to the Marshal Jiang Hongli and Deputy Marshal Jin Jingrui to lead 13,000 troops to fight. If the Korean soldiers were willing to fight, the strength of the journey would be quite good, but everyone present knew that the North and South Korea were not very interested in this war, and they were mainly assisted in sending troops. It was almost impossible to expect them to be wearing strong and holding sharp edges.

The Ming army's fourth route was dominated by the West Route Army, and the commander was not surprised by Du Song.

When he received the order, Du Song looked arrogant and arrogant.

The Western Route Army sent 30,000 troops. Baoding General Wang Xuan and former general Zhao Menglin were also on the way. They followed Du Song's orders. The generals led their commanders to go to war. The Du Shi was in charge of guerrilla affairs, Liu Yujie, the general Gong Niansui, the general Chai Guodong, the guerrilla warrior Wang Hao, Zhang Da, Ji, Yang Qin, Wang Hailong, the guerrilla warriors, Yang Ruda, etc., and the military supervisor was Zhang Quan.

The northern route, that is, Kaiyuan Road, General Ma Lin, Deputy General of Guan, Georgia, Guan Tieling Guerrilla, Zheng Guoliang, Guan Haizhou Governor General of Guan Xinseng Central Camp, Li Yingxuan, Guerrilla Ge Shifeng, Zhao Qizhen, Guardian Jiang Wanchun, etc., and Pan Zongyan, the deputy commander of the military preparation, served as the military supervisor.

On the southern road, that is, Qinghe Road, General Li Rubai is the main general, Deputy General He Shixian is the deputy, guerrillas Zhang Qingchang and Li Huaizhong, General Taichang guerrillas Dai Guangyu, guerrillas Feng Yingkui, guerrillas You Shigong, Beiyu Xu Chengming, Dushi Li Ketai and others are subordinates, and they are divided into guards and guards Yan Mingtai as the military supervisor.

On the east road, General Liu Ying was the main general, Zu Tianding, Yao Guofu, Zhou Wen, Guard Xu Jiusi, Zhou Yiming and others were subordinates, Supervisor Kang Yinggan, and the Chief of the Haigai Army was the deputy envoy, Huang Zongzhou was the Zanli, and there were also the Chaozhou Marshal of the Xiandu, Jiang Hongli, and Deputy Marshal Jin Jingrui cooperated with friendly forces.

Judging from the list, the Ming army in the East is indeed the weakest. One is mostly the Southern Army, the other is mostly the Dusi, the garrison, and the imperial guards. It is completely different from the situation where there are a large number of deputy generals and generals from other roads. This means that there are very few servants. The literal number only represents the number of camp soldiers. The combat effectiveness of the Eastern Army is undoubtedly the weakest.

When reading the order, the general named Chang Nuo bowed to the military order. After reading the list, Yang Hao glanced around everyone with a powerful look, and then prepared to retreat to the back hall where he would summon the commanders of various armies alone, give face-to-face advice, and say something more confidential, such as the expected specific date of expedition, detailed routes, dates of meetings of various armies, etc.

At this time, the West Road Army Supervisor Zhang Quan, deputy envoy of the military preparation, stepped forward and bowed with his fists, and said in a deep voice: "Sir, the subordinate has something to say."

Zhang Quan was famous for his integrity as an official. Not only was he good in moral integrity, but he was also outstanding among the civil servants in Liaodong. However, Yang Hao was not happy with this person. He thought that Zhang Quan was good at speaking. He often wrote memorials and did not take him as the supervisor seriously. However, Zhang Quan was a civil servant in Jinshi, and was not as good as a military general. He had to endure it. At this time, Zhang Quan came out to make trouble again. Yang Hao was displeased and said with a stern face: "What do you mean by Deputy Envoy Zhang?"

Zhang Quan said calmly: "The officials think it is inappropriate to advance at this time?"

Yang Hao said with a calm face: "How can I see it?"
