Chapter 461

When it comes to how to reward Liu Bu, everyone doesn't speak actively, because they have limited affection for the Liu family. They don't want to reward the Liu family, they just want him to contribute. In the eyes of the imperial court, the Liu family still needs pressure, not support.

But to their embarrassment, if the current Liu family did not support them, no one would be willing to work for the imperial court in the future.

After hesitating and chatting privately for a long time, they only agreed to give Liu bu the title of common knowledge of the rear military governor, and would no longer give him other actual rights. This coincides with the emperor. You know, giving the Liu family more power is not in line with their idea of suppressing the Liu family.

For Liu Jia, they are deeply worried that the family is so powerful that they can only remove their claws and teeth to make the imperial court feel at ease. Now his claws and teeth are not removed, but more sharp. While the imperial court is gratified, they are also vaguely worried that they will be a great disaster in the future.

As a result, it became the same thing about Keng father. Liu Bu of the Liu family made amazing achievements, which can be said to be the biggest and best achievements made by the imperial court in Eastern Liaoning since the first year of Chongzhen, but the imperial court did not receive any rewards.

As for the reward and silver, they can't take it out, but they really don't have money. They can give Liu Bu titles and official positions, but they are afraid that Liu Bu will take the opportunity to become bigger, so they don't dare to give it. This leads to such a situation. Liu Bu has made such great contributions, but has won the title of a common knowledge of the post military governor and the governor of the post military governor's office, All his generals have also won some empty titles, asking for money, food and all kinds of equipment.

Fortunately, Liu Bu didn't even think about asking the imperial court for a reward. If he wanted to do this, he would be so angry that he would lead the soldiers to mutiny.

Liu Bu is very accurate about this. He thinks that the imperial court is afraid of them, will not rest assured of them and will not connive at their growth, but they need them to deal with JianNu, so he can only adopt such a pattern of killing the dead.

Liu Bu is lucky that he doesn't rely on the imperial court. If he relies on the imperial court, it is estimated that his generals will leave him one after another. Seriously, if a general like Liu Bu makes such a great contribution smoothly, the imperial court will not reward him at all. The people under him should know that the imperial court is dissatisfied with him and unhappy, so they should know that there is no confusion with him, It's impossible to get promoted and get rich. No one will mix with him and leave him one after another.

But Liu Bu is different from him. He has the support of the whole Liu family and Denglai Town, and the massive silver he got from the silver hatching battle. Now he can seal the reward in advance. If the imperial court doesn't seal the reward, he does it himself.

For example, he appointed himself as the marching marshal and promoted his official position to the level of governor and governor of the court. He didn't want the court to send a governor and governor at random to take over his military power. In addition, he also granted all his generals their due official positions, so that those who want official positions have official positions and those who want gold and silver have gold and silver, They all got what they deserved, so that the soldiers would work for him.

For example, there are already seven people under Liu Bu at the level of commander in chief. He divided Liu Zhongyong, Xiao Ning, Liu Kang, bu rigude, Mao Shunli, Zhou Hui and Liu Yu into commander in chief. He guarded one side, paid heavy soldiers in the palm and defended one side, and also rewarded gold, silver and beautiful women to varying degrees.

Liu Jiajun's gold and silver were mainly taken from the south of the Yangtze River in the battle of incubating silver. Now they are really good money. They can spend as much as they want. Just like the imperial court, they can build several Ningjin defense lines, and there is no pressure. As for the beauty, after they captured the three guards in southern Liaoning, they controlled so many sites and obtained a large number of JianNu captives from JianNu, So they rewarded the prisoners of JianNu to his meritorious officials as their booty.

Although Liu Bu doesn't like this practice, he must do so to keep the soldiers morale and work for their Liu family. Otherwise, he will be suppressed by the imperial court. I'm afraid his men will leave him and turn to the imperial court or other mountains.

In addition, since the imperial court taboos the Liu family so much, relying on the Liu family makes the Liu family become another general in western Liaoning, and Liu Bu has to push the door out of western Liaoning to block the knife.

Liaoxi generals mainly refer to this group of generals of Ningjin defense line.

Ningjin defense line is built to resist JianNu. It is a defense line from Shan customs to Jinzhou through Ningyuan. With Shan customs as the backing, Ningyuan as the backbone and Jinzhou as the pioneer, many fortresses are built as joint defense strongholds.

The guanningjin defense line is divided into North and South sections. The south section is the guanningjin defense line, about 100 kilometers long, from SHANGUAN customs to Ningyuan. The northern section is the Ningjin defense line, about 100 kilometers long. It passes through Songshan and Jinzhou from Ningyuan to Daling River.

When JianNu defeated Liaoyang and Shenyang guards, he took advantage of his great victory to capture Guangning at one fell swoop. The main force of Daming outside the pass was destroyed, and the whole court was in panic. At this critical juncture, the court appointed emperor sun Chengqin as the Jiliao supervisor in charge of the Ning Jinxian line.

After four years in Liaodong, sun Chengzong took training troops and repairing the city as his own responsibility, and gradually promoted it step by step. He sent generals to Jinzhou, Songshan, Xingshan, Shitun and Linghe cities. In the fifth year of the apocalypse, yuan Chonghuan pushed forward 200 miles from Ningyuan, thus forming a Ningyuan Jinzhou defense line centered on Ningyuan.

The significance of Ningyuan and Jinzhou lies in controlling hundreds of miles of land so that JianNu could not use these land to produce food. Although this greatly increased the economic and military burden of the Ming Dynasty, it also greatly reduced the scope of JianNu's influence and reduced its food production. At the same time, it also effectively restrained JianNu, so that it could not calmly attack North Korea, maowenlong and Mongolia.

There is a good side, but naturally there is a bad side. The bad side is that yuan Chonghuan spent a lot of money to build Jinzhou twice, building Jinzhou into a huge pit like a Zheng canal. He was good at killing Mao Wenlong, which led to the fact that JianNu was not restrained. In this way, the Ningjin defense line lost its function. JianNu had been in the second year of Suozhen and bypassed Mongolia. The large-scale entry into Serbia and the flexible application of the other party turned this line of defense, which cost countless gold and silver repair in the Ming Dynasty, into a useless line of defense.

Liu Bu called him the Maginot line of defense in the East. As for what others think is the Maginot line of defense, Liu Bu just smiled without further explanation.

However, there is no doubt that after the imperial court repaired this line of defense here, it did make the imperial court's already tight financial expenditure more tense, but it did not play its due role. JianNu knew that if he attacked this series of defense lines, he would rather go a long way and bypass it, This can also be achieved.

Moreover, as far as JianNu was concerned, when the Ningjin defense line was repaired, they had other important things to deal with.

The city you keep is the place of faith, and you are responsible for its success. In war, a city helps a city, and the code is one section at a time. Stick to it and live and die together. " The guanningjin defense line tightly blocked JianNu's plundering of strategic materials in the pass, which once plunged JianNu into the dilemma of food shortage.

In order to break the deadlock, Huang Taiji, who had just inherited the Khan throne, resolutely decided to launch military action against North Korea and achieved an absolute victory.

The reason why Huang Taiji was able to become the second leader of JianNu after the death of the old slave was not the deliberate arrangement of the old slave, but with the absolute support of Daishan, Amin and manggutai of the three Baylor! Of course, the three Baylor's support for Huang Taiji is not unconditional, but to continue the political system of the four Baylor's participation in state affairs in the old slave period.

Therefore, at the beginning of Huang Taiji's accession to the throne, in order to stabilize the political situation and Khan power, he had to implement the political system of the three Baylor sitting facing the South and managing the state affairs together.

However, the ambitious Huang Taiji wanted to realize the concentration of Khan power and eliminate the challenge and influence of the three Baylor on his own authority, so he decided to take the opportunity of military action to check the loyalty of the three Baylor to himself, or take the opportunity to cut off hostile forces through military action.

In addition, because Huang Taiji inherited the particularity of the Khan position, his mastery of JianNu was not stable, and under the blockade of guanningjin defense line, there had been instability and disharmony within JianNu. Therefore, Huang Taiji urgently needed a large-scale war to increase the cohesion and unity centripetal force within the regime. Considering his own strength, Huang Taiji had to aim at the weaker Korean and Mongolian ministries.

When the Ningjin defense line was established, it did block JianNu's front, but at the same time, it also made JianNu free up his hands to do something they had no time to do before, such as subduing Mongolia, cleaning up North Korea, and standing in the direction of Ningjin for more than ten years, which also meant that Daming gave up the strategic initiative outside the pass and allowed JianNu to roam across the land outside the pass, Dominate one side and subdue North Korea. Conquered Mongolia and became a well deserved overlord.

The new jiannunu Dahan Huang Taiji also used this time to consolidate his internal and external power, making himself in power and becoming unprecedentedly powerful. Therefore, in this regard, what he did in the Ningjin defense line was not as big as he boasted, and it consumed the silver of the Daming national treasury, and the expenditure it needed was close to 70% of that of Jiubian, This has led to a shortage of funds in other places. Due to the shortage of funds in other places, soldiers in other places are not enough to eat, often mutiny and have no intention to fight.
