Chapter 416 Reclamation

The emperor's attitude and imagination that he wanted to fight anywhere did not last for a few days, and the battle reports from northern Xinjiang were sent to the telegram room of the Forbidden City one after another.

At first, the emperor became more and more happy as he watched it. He was so happy that he was most annoying in his daily life that he was willing to find someone to practice.

Wanli likes military affairs, not only takes charge of the training of soldiers himself, but also carries out personal training very strictly.

Whether it is boxing or firing guns and cannons, although sometimes he will be lazy when he runs tired, his military skills assessments are still better than those of the Beiyang Army, second only to the few best among the Jinyiwei.

The Beiyang Banner Army's infantry military skills training has only been one and a half years, and it has only been a full two years of maritime events such as controlling warships, climbing masts, and armed swimming. The Jinyiwei is not rotated. They have been practicing the same military skills for nearly four years.

The emperor, the emperor, was obsessed with physical training five years ago, and had been shooting bird guns for four years. He was well aware of the various standard equipment of the Ming Dynasty than the veterans.

Only, Wanli didn't like to fight for thorns - no flag army dared to stab him with a spear or a bird gun equipped with wooden guns.

But now even if the emperor is asked to fight with the flag army, he will fight with relish, because the three guards of Urianha are convinced.

Following Qi Jiguang to capture the Daning City and send the battle report of the three guards to the death, the Wulianghai topographic map presented by Taining Guard, Duoyan Guard and Fuyu Guard.

The map was surveyed and mapped by the military academy under Qi Jiguang's troops, covering the direct control of the three guards and all the land that the Qi family army could attack. It strangled the gap in the southern part of the Daxianbei Mountains, divided the guards and entered the cities, and led troops to the west. The old place of Yuhalahawei defeated the Tumans and the Khalkha coalition forces, and killed them in scattered and fled.

The Tuman Army relied on the army and divided its troops to advance together, trying to attack the Qi family's army, but the Qi family's army was completely destroyed. The battle caused the Tuman Khan's house to be majestic. Even the Hulun River and the Huyuerhai tribes that had never seen the Qi family's army before competed to join us.

On the other hand, what made the emperor happy was that Li Chengliang from Liaodong was finally willing to move his nest. Previously, the Qi family army had been repeatedly marching, fighting, marching, and fighting for several months. After Li Chengliang's troops from Liaodong sent troops, they repeated endlessly: march, accidents occur, accidents resolve, and marching continue, and accidents continue.

It seemed that it was not until they saw that the Qi family army had won too easily that they sent troops to intimidate the Tatars and Jurchen tribes that had not yet surrendered.

In this regard, Li Chengliang has too many advantages over Qi Jiguang.

Qi Jiguang's eyes were dark. After going out to the frontier, he would be enemies all over the world. If he didn't win a few decent battles, he would not want others to surrender well. Even a small tribe with only a dozen herders and hundreds of cattle and horses would rather escape than surrender directly in the face of a large army. This situation did not change slightly until Qi Jiguang defeated Tuman Khan.

Li Chengliang is different. The territory of the northeast is clear, and the leader of the nomadic tribe under his command can recite the genealogy of three generations. People will follow them wherever they go, and people will help them wherever they go.

According to the war report, Li Chengliang was trying to win the merits - when fighting, he threw Qi Jiguang on the front line to fight to death without any burden; after fighting, he was concerned about collecting territory, and he was more than anyone else's, and the tribes who submitted to Li Chengliang to Li Chengliang were more than three times more than Qi Jiguang.

On the Songnen Plain, from Sancha River to the northern forest, no one was unwilling to obey Li Chengliang's arrangements.

Fortunately, Qi Jiguang has many military achievements, otherwise it would be difficult to set a reward for this battle.

The Qi family army could not meet an opponent worthy of this army.

Compared with them, the Nanyang and Dongyang's excellent record of killing 3,000 enemies and losing 300 by themselves seems extremely mediocre.

However, the telegrams behind did not make the emperor so happy.

The court wanted to get the Qi family army back, but Qi Jiguang also believed that his troops had reached a preliminary mission and it was time to plan a retreat.

To withdraw troops, you must withdraw troops. No unit in this world has the strength to defeat the Qi family's army. The only thing that can control them is the cold winter month in the north.

It was still spring when the Qi family went out of the frontier. There were only a small amount of cotton coats in the army. Now winter is coming soon. Qi Jiguang cannot let the soldiers sleep outside the frontier without even boots and survive the winter.

He knew very well that this elite unit belonged to him was not their enemy, and the same was true for the Mongols, and even they were not enemies themselves. Only God could pose a threat to them.

It’s just that the current argument in the court is that it should be stopped and the Qi family’s army returned to Jizhen in the south? Or should they be returned to Daning City?

"We cannot retreat now, we must consolidate the results of the battle... record what I said." The emperor in Tsinghua Park showed surprise and ordered the eunuchs, saying: "There are three reasons for not retreating. First, the court needs good wood, which are outside the northeast border; second, it is too late to go up. Even if the Dache Camp retreats to the pass now, it will not be able to retreat into the pass before the winter comes, which will increase unnecessary casualties."

"The third most important thing is that over the years, I have never consolidated the results of the northern neighbors and cannot obtain the achievements that will be supported by the forever; my Ming Dynasty has suffered enough of such losses, and the Wulianghai is gone, and the three proclamations and six comforts are reversed. Only when my people and more soldiers on the land can I occupy the outer border for a long time."

"I will find a way to adjust the winter clothes for him. The winter clothes will be delivered soon, so that they can station them in Daning City."

In fact, in Wanli's view, this battle can be continued, and as long as the Ming army is still outside the frontier, it can be continued.

There were many tactical victories in the past. The Ming army plowed the courtyard and swept the caves many times and achieved brilliant results, but never struck the iron while it was hot and completely intimidated the place. People would rebel again at any time.

It’s not that the court did not want to strike while the iron is hot, but that there was no such ability in the past. It was great to be able to go to the camp for thousands of miles. I hope that the Ming army, which was under huge pressure from the baggage, would occupy a certain place forever?

There is no eternal in the world.

More importantly, the emperor knew very well that only when his people became more and had overwhelming advantages in one area, they would not be robbed.

There are two other reasons that drive the emperor to continue fighting, or one reason is, the Northeast wood that is clearly known at the moment.

The imperial court was relatively short of large wood that could make boats, which would become more and more intense in the next few years. The price of wood will increase slightly with the large-scale application of steam engines, further increasing construction costs.

At this critical moment, the jungle in the northeast is particularly important.

"I want to issue an immigration order. You can send this letter to the cabinet later and let the cabinet discuss it."

The emperor held his arm and explained: "In the past, planting gardens, one person had 200 acres... I still have many poor people without land. Let them reclaim wasteland. Like Asia, they will first set a few counties and set off next spring."
