Chapter 1201: Single-mindedness
"Envoy He, the sentry who went to explore the camp a few days ago was discovered by the Song army, and he will definitely be alert, it is not a good time for us to set out today to attack the camp of the Song army at night in Lingbi, it is better to make a decision after the expedition!" The generals of Meng Yuan in the Yazhong of Fuli Chengzhou were also deliberating, and the avant-garde commander of the Han army of the guards made Yuwa speechless.
After being ordered to prevent the Song army from going north, the Mengyuan guards and the Western Route Army quickly moved south to Guide Mansion (Ying Tianfu reduced Nanjing to Guide Mansion during the Jin Dynasty, and became the Zhili Mansion of Zhongshu Province in the north of Henan River after entering the Yuan Dynasty, continuing this name), and then took the Han army's avant-garde, left guard and some firearms guards as the front army, and went to Suzhou from Daru Hua Chihe Weixian, where they defeated the rebel general Duge and recovered Fuli, and confronted the Song army that arrived later.
After the arrival of reinforcements sent by the Song army, they felt pressured, and the spies sent the day before yesterday reported that the Song army had concealed the boats transporting grain, grass and supplies from the east bank of Lingbi Lake, and found that the camp of the emperor of the Southern Dynasty seemed to be stationed there. After learning about it, all the generals thought that this was a good opportunity to defeat the Song army and reverse the tide of the war, whether it was to destroy its baggage or capture its emperor alive was enough to force the Song army to retreat, but there were still differences on how to use the troops.
"Yu Wow, the Song army did not capture our spies, maybe they just thought that the nearby people were fishing and hunting in the lake. Even if it makes them suspicious, we should attack quickly, otherwise they will be alerted and quickly evacuate, and we will not be in vain! He Weixian stroked his beard and said. He is the 'Bijachi' in the Cowardly Xue Army, who is in charge of the documents, and is considered to be a close person of the Great Khan, and this time he was appointed as the Daru Huachi of the Western Route Yuan Army.
Daru Huachi is actually an ordinary official position in the Yuan court, and its original meaning is to guard the town, sanction, and hold the seal. At first, in addition to the original governors, there was to be a Daru Huachi at the road, prefecture, and county levels, such as the modern central commissioner, who was responsible for supervising the magistrates at all levels, and there were also deputy Daru Huachi in important places and the army, mainly held by the Mongols, who were often the real rulers. But then there was some confusion, and the royal family, the ears and the kings and horses had private households other than the people, and each had a governor's office or a promotion department to manage it.
As a rule, these prefectures and departments have Daru Huachi, and the official offices related to important financial revenues, such as the Regulation and Transportation Office, the Grain Lifting Division, the Tea Garden Lifting Division, the Cultivation and Lifting Division, and various treasure banknotes, all have this position. There are also the Imperial Medicine Institute, the Xingyu Medicine Bureau, the Huihui Medicine Hospital, the Golden Jade Treasure Officer, the Imperial Clothing Bureau, the Shangyi Bureau, the Governor's Office in charge of the finances of the Great Temple, the Camp Division, and the Lifting Division. As a result, the highest rank of Daru Huachi has reached the second grade, and the lowest rank is the record of the Lufu Governance Office, and the Daru Huachi is only the eighth grade.
The Mongol army and the Mongol Tanmachi army generally did not have Daru Huachi. Except for special circumstances, the armies of other ethnic groups have set up Daru Huachi in the Marshal's Mansion, Wanhu Mansion, and Qianhu to supervise military affairs, and their rank is the same as that of the Marshal, Wanhu, and Qianhu. Because this expedition is related to the safety of Gyeonggi, Zhenjin sent He Weixian to serve as the Western Route Army Daru Huachi to supervise military affairs, although he is a Han Chinese, and his rank is only five grades, but because he is from the cowardly Xue Army, and he is a close confidant of the Great Khan, so everyone respectfully calls him the 'internal envoy', and he is also very useful for this title.
"Internal envoy, what Yu Wa said makes sense. The emperor of the Southern Dynasty was very cunning and suspicious, and when he learned that someone was visiting the camp, he would inevitably be alert. He has led the troops for many years, so he naturally knows that the safety of his baggage is related to the victory or defeat of the war, and he will certainly take measures to take strict precautions. Seeing that the commander of the left guard of the Han army was unimpressed, Bo Da'er still reminded.
"The emperor of the Southern Dynasty is just a yellow-mouthed child, what knowledge can he have, but he exaggerated his merits in order to sit on the throne, and everyone also spread false rumors. Even if it has some ability, if you think about it, if you find someone peeping at such a small thing as the camp, the people below will also alarm it! He Weixian said with a sneer.
He is also regarded as the 'fourth generation of officials', Taizu is the Duke of Yongguo, He Ben, in the battle of the ancestor with the emperor's younger brother to collect the edict to conquer Yunnan in Liupan Mountain, Ben offered 5,000 taels of platinum, the ancestor was enthroned as the head of the Jingzhao Army, posthumously awarded the title of Yongguo Gong; grandfather He Renjie from the ancestor Kublai Khan's southern expedition to the north, outstanding achievements, deeply trusted by the ancestors, specially awarded the doctor to stay behind.
His father He Sheng is even more amazing, he tried to learn from Xu Heng and spread righteousness through the scriptures. At the age of sixteen, he entered the cowardly Xue Suwei palace ban, when Kublai Khan went on an expedition to the grassland, he was the closest cowardly Xue army officer to Kublai Khan, and when the squad returned to the dynasty and encountered a heavy snowstorm, Kublai Khan's old cold feet attacked, he also stripped like the heroine of a dog blood drama and used his body to protect Kublai Khan from the cold. Therefore, he was valued by the ancestors, and he was also Kublai Khan's most trusted secretary, and he consulted him on all kinds of military affairs, and he spent more time with Kublai Khan than his concubines.
Later, He Sheng worshiped Jixian and led the Taishi Academy. The descendants of the fathers are all left behind, and they are also the commanders of the Huben army in Kaiping Mansion. And He Weixian also succeeded his father into the cowardly Xue and served as Bi Yan Chi, trusted by real gold. Their family has been a close minister of the Great Khan for generations, and they know the things best, and as He Weixian saw, such a small thing as someone peeping into the camp is unimaginable if it is all reported to the Great Khan.
"What the envoy said is very true!" Bo Da'er listened to it and thought about it, not to mention the emperor, even he couldn't stand it, but he still felt that it was inappropriate. The Song army began the Northern Expedition last year, first captured Yangzhou, and annihilated more than 100,000 Wanhu Mansions in both capitals, and the main general Yuxi Timur died. After that, he took advantage of the situation to seize the two Huai, launched a full-line attack, crossed the Huai River into Huaibei, and entered Henan and Shandong, if the emperor of the Southern Dynasty was as unbearable as he said, and his subordinates were also assisted by good ministers and fierce generals, such matters related to the safety of the rear camp would not be ignored, and it was still where the imperial camp was.
"Internal envoy, I thought there was still something wrong!" Yu Wa said again.
"What's wrong?" He Weixian said impatiently.
"Internal envoy, our army attacked the enemy's rear camp with the intention of sudden. But now it is the twentieth day, and the night is the time of the moon, and the bright moon is as bright as day in the lake, and the boat cannot hide and hide, and I am afraid that it will be discovered before it reaches the enemy camp, and the night attack will be in vain! Yuwa said speechlessly.
"When the moon rises, our army sets sail in the evening, and approaches the enemy camp when the darkness is unclear, and when the moon is bright, we can identify the target and launch an attack, isn't it heaven helping our army!" He Weixian chuckled.
"Inside, although the lake is vast, there are many shoals and undercurrents, and there are large reeds near the river. It is difficult to distinguish the boat in the dark, and it is very easy to get lost and strayed into the river, or run aground and capsize the boat, and our soldiers are not good at water, not only difficult to meet the enemy, but easy to cause losses! Yuwa was a little speechless, he was basically a person with no military experience, but he pointed fingers at military operations, but he couldn't afford to provoke himself, so he could only try his best to persuade him.
"Yu Wa is right, it is very dangerous to sail in the dark. In addition, the naval army of the Southern Dynasties is strong and has rich combat experience, and will never relax its vigilance in the camp, and will send sentinel boats to patrol the lake, once our army shows its tracks, it will inevitably be hit hard! Although he did not fight with the New Song Army, he had heard of the Song Army's achievements, and Zhang Hongfan, Liu Shen, and Ali Hague were all famous generals of the Dynasty, but they were all defeated by the Southern Dynasty Naval Army. After entering the south of the Yangtze River, they successively defeated the Jinghu Naval Army, the Cao Army by Sea, and the Huihui Naval Army, and almost annihilated the naval army of this dynasty. The remnants of the naval army allowed the naval forces of the Southern Dynasties to travel to and from the coastline at will, and they did not dare to engage in the battle at all.
"In your words, the naval army of the Southern Dynasties can come and go on the lake day and night, but it is not contradictory to say that our army cannot cross at night. Moreover, the strength of the naval army of the Southern Dynasties is nothing more than the use of sharp firearms, and our army also has firearms by its side, so it is not possible to weaken them. I'm afraid that the two generals are afraid of the enemy! He Weixian couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when he saw that his opinion was opposed by the two main generals, and his voice became cold.
"Internal envoy, although our army is equipped with firearms, it is not as sharp as the Song army. And the firearms guards are precious, they are all elites who have been trained for a long time, and they should be used as strange soldiers at the critical time of the war, and they are not easy to consume prematurely......" Yuwa lost his mind and didn't want to persuade him anymore, but when he heard that he still had to use firearms to participate in the war, he frowned and couldn't help but speak.
"Yu Wow, what do you mean? Isn't it crucial to burn the grain and grass of the Song army and capture the emperor of the Southern Dynasty alive? I thought that if this battle could be won, a firearm guard would be nothing, and even if they all died in battle, it would be worth it. He Weixian interrupted the conversation without waiting for him to finish speaking, and said sharply. Knowing that you think I don't know anything about military affairs, I am disdainful, and I am worried that my contribution will make you and others disgraced. If we all write to the Great Khan, it will be decided by the Great Khan, but I will show you that you have delayed the warplane! ”
"I'm willing to listen to the waiter!" Yu Wa lost and Bo Da'er were helpless when they heard this, and they looked at each other and saluted in unison.
"That's the best, go down and prepare!" He Weixian snorted coldly and left his seat.
"The way of the world has really changed, the cowardly Xue army has fallen to such a point, we are also born in the cowardly Xue, the guard sweat tent, the personal guard of the Great Khan, after the battlefield nine deaths. But now he is not as good as a Han man who undressed the Great Khan! Seeing He Weixian go away from the account, Yuwa lost the wine on the case and said angrily.
"Whisper!" Hearing this, Bo Da'er hurriedly asked the guards to put down the tent curtain and said, "Although his father untied the Great Khan's clothes, he hugged the big root foot, and he knew the Great Khan's mind best. If we disobey his will, provoke his anger, say a few nonsense in the ear of the Great Khan, or even make our own internal decrees, we will ruin our family! ”
"Alas, if he insists on going his own way, he will inevitably kill the three armies. can obey orders against his will, and he is unwilling. It can do whatever it wants, and the victory or defeat is up to the fate of heaven! Yu Wa said with a gloomy face, and the more sad he felt in his heart, he was also a close confidant of the Great Khan, and he had countless achievements in dancing knives and guns, how could he not compare to a pen......
