Moreover, Ma Chengfei believed that he could attack the reinforcements first, ambush the enemy coming to support from Shenyang at Panhe south of Tieling Wei, and then attack Tieling Wei with confidence.
The old slave really took a gamble. The large-scale mobilization led to a sharp reduction in the military strength in the ruled area, and the more remote Liaobei was even more empty.
Unexpectedly, a coalition army of over 10,000 could actually dominate the territory ruled by the Jianlu. Ma Chengfei sneered and concluded: the pacification of Liao is just around the corner, and the destruction of the Jianlu is just around the corner.

Money was spent like water on weapons, ammunition, food supplies, horses purchased from various Mongolian tribes, etc.
They say "a cannon shot is worth a fortune," and the emperor truly experienced this. War is so expensive that it's not surprising that the Ming Dynasty's economy collapsed because of it.
Of course, the greed of corrupt officials, powerful princes, gentry and profiteers was the main reason for the financial collapse of the court.
Despite the immense cost of war, the emperor's plans for future wars would be numerous. The Ming Dynasty would bar its fangs and conquer all corners of the land, securing more land and a vaster, more boundless living space for its people.
The emperor understood the law of the jungle better than anyone else, the law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest.
Moreover, war can cost money but also make money. It all depends on how you plan and how you convert victory into tangible results and gains.
The emperor knew all this because he had hundreds of years of historical knowledge, but that doesn't mean that the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty were all useless or stupid.
"fool--"
"Egg--"
The two little princesses sat in their respective cars, blurted out two words to the parrot, and then giggled happily.
The two little girls cooperated very well, one word each, grinning happily.
The scene that the emperor imagined, where the parrot bullied the little princess and made her cry, did not happen at all. It was not that the parrot spoke little, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was eloquent, but the little princess could not understand it.
This is interesting. The parrot talked a lot, but the little princess was not anxious or angry. She just treated it as an entertaining game and even learned the word "stupid" from the parrot.
You said "stupid" and I said "egg", and then laughed happily. The innocent laughter, like a tape recorder, finally defeated the eloquent parrot.
Even if you master a thousand tricks, they are not as good as my one mastery. A wise man can be defeated by a fool, and parents can go crazy trying to tutor their children. The ancients were right.
The emperor looked at the wilted parrot, then at the two carefree, innocent and lively girls, and a relaxed and happy smile appeared on his face.
Zhang Yuer peeled the orange segments cleanly and fed them to the emperor. It was obvious that the emperor really loved his two daughters. This was also her honor and grace, and her joy was self-evident.
"Your Majesty," Zhang Yu'er said with a smile, "Let's put the matter of raising a cat aside for now. I'm afraid the two maids are ignorant and might irritate the cats and start scratching them."
The emperor nodded and said, "Yu'er is very thoughtful. Let's wait until the child grows up."
Zhang Yu'er hugged the emperor's arm, pressing her plump breasts against his, and smiled happily and contentedly as she watched her two daughters still happily playing the "Stupid!" chain game.
"I'm trying to teach them to call me Father." Yu'er pursed her lips, saying with a mixture of anger and amusement, "But they just can't learn."
The emperor chuckled twice, deliberately rubbed it with his arm, and said jokingly: "Each person has a word, and when the two of them are put together, they will be able to call it."
Zhang Yu'er also smiled and said, "As long as the emperor likes it, let the two girls always be together and talk to each other."
"Being able to cooperate well is also a skill." The emperor sighed thoughtfully, "I don't have to work so hard anymore."
The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the supreme ruler, was always worried about this and that, and no one understood his mental fatigue.
The ministers thought they were very capable, and probably did not realize how important the emperor's guidance was or how urgent the policies to be implemented were.
Only the women in the harem know that they are tired, so they are always gentle and try to find ways to make themselves relaxed and happy.
Zhang Yu'er hugged him tighter, leaning her head on the emperor's shoulder and speaking softly, "Your Majesty, if you're tired, just take a rest and let me serve you. The Ming Dynasty has vast territories and billions of people. There are always areas that cannot be taken care of, and there is no need to pursue perfection."
The emperor reached out and caressed Yu'er's face, slid his hand across her smooth neck, and slipped into her clothes. He smiled and said, "The child is old enough to sleep on his own. Well, I will sleep in Changchun Palace tonight."
"Hmm," Zhang Yuer's face flushed slightly, and she murmured in agreement under the rubbing of the dragon claw hand.

"What an idiot!" Bumbutai looked at the report card and grabbed her hair in frustration.
Hailanzhu looked at her own, not very satisfied, but she had to comfort her sister, "We have only a short time to study, so it is normal that the results are not ideal."
Bumbutai snorted, crumpled up her report card and threw it to the ground, saying angrily, "It's okay if my grades are bad. At most, the bad emperor will laugh at me a few times. I don't care!"
Don't care and still be so angry? Hailanzhu shook her head helplessly and said, "Don't think about it. Let's go to the playground and see if there is a demonstration."
Bumbutai was a little reluctant, but her sister still took her hand and led her away. She muttered, "They said it's faster than a horse when they call it a bicycle. What a boast!"
Hailanzhu laughed and said, "Just treat it as bragging, let's make a few jokes and have some fun."
When the two sisters arrived at the playground, many students were already there. Some were sitting on the long wooden benches on the steps next to the track, chatting and laughing; some were running, jumping and playing on the steps and the edge of the playground.
