Chapter 413: The Storm is Coming

The next morning, Xu Changqing was just about to attend the regular meeting of the Political Affairs Bureau, which was held every 10 days, when news came from the northwest about Wang Pu's victory.

Just yesterday morning, before dawn, Wang Pu's elite cavalry spared a long way and raided Li Guo's troops who were being held by the exile army in the east of Lintong.

Li Guo is actually very clever, and the camp defense is not bad.

But the general led by Wang Pu was a veteran Lin Leopard who had participated in Songjin with Xu Changqing and participated in the battle to exterminate Huang Taiji.

Immediately set up an ambush on the way to the west of Li Guo and others, if it weren't for Li Guo's godson Li Laiheng who was really brave and desperately protected, Li Guo and Li Shuangxi would have to confess.

Xu Changqing was not a little happy after reading the news, but his brows were twisted into the word 'Sichuan'.

Wang Pu, this guy Xu Changqing knows too well.

Including the Wandering Army, even if the contact is not deep enough, Xu Changqing already knows their temperament very well, or their behavior patterns.

Wang Pu's battle seems to be a big victory, saving the building from collapse, like a lonely hero, but in fact, it is a living face of Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin......

According to the momentum of these two masters at this time, how could they give up easily?

In "The Godfather", a generation of Corleone famously said: "The best threat is not to do it!" Because once you do it, there is a risk of failure and it will not be effective. ”

At this time, although Wang Pu won the battle, I am afraid that instead of solving any practical problems, this probably aroused the anger of the exile army, especially let the exile army touch his hole cards!

For a long time before, why did the elite of the Nine Sides fight the exile army, just like Lao Tzu beats his son?

No wonder the cavalry is sharp!

But at this time, the Wandering People's Army gathered the official army and various channels, and their cavalry system also had a certain scale, and Wang Pu exposed his hole cards so early......

Even Xu Changqing couldn't predict the consequences for a while.

Xu Changqing vaguely remembered that in history, the Battle of Tongguan was probably around September and October, but judging from the current situation, it is very likely that this battle that will decide the fate of the northwest and the Ming Dynasty will break out in advance......

"Uncle Dingbei is really brave, now, the thief is dumbfounded, right? Haha, a bunch of mud legs, it's not fucking going to make trouble! ”

"I heard that it was the hand of the leopard master, and the majesty of the leopard master really did not diminish back then."

"See you next time, you must let the leopard master put on a good show, please eat for a long time......"

"Haha, that's right, I have to slaughter the leopard master......"

After thinking about it, I walked to the conference room of the Political Affairs Bureau, and there were excited discussions from many generals such as Zhao Zengjin, Ergou, and Wang Hongyang, and the news seemed to have reached this side.

Of course, they are all lifelong friends in Songjin, and these backbone generals are also very familiar with Lin Bao.

At this time, although it was a regular meeting of the Political Affairs Bureau, because it was necessary to decide to write the pen, the remaining military personnel still had to participate, and they did not have the right to vote, but they had the right to witness.

This is also a system that Xu Changqing established early on in order to be stable.

The bigwigs of the Political Affairs Bureau were already familiar with the military, and when they watched them talk excitedly about the war, they didn't say much, they all looked at it with a smile.

Now, everyone understands that the army is the core of the core, and only if the army is good, can everyone keep the good life now.

"It's handsomeβ€”"

"Whoa!"

As the loud voices of the soldiers around him sounded, the originally noisy room suddenly fell silent, and immediately, everyone subconsciously got up.

This is Xu Changqing's simplified ceremony, and the future world. The army is very similar.

Xu Changqing walked into the room in a hurry, sat on his throne with a golden sword, and looked around: "The battle of Lintong East, you all know about it, right?" ”

There was a slight agitation in the room.

Zhao Zengjin said: "Dashuai, this battle of Dingbei Bo is really beautiful." Although it did not hurt the main force of the thieves, it suppressed the arrogance of the thieves. Come to think of it, as long as we wait a little longer, the northwest side may not need us to send troops at all. ”

Wang Hongyang also smiled and said: "Dashuai, although the thieves are strong, but whether they are strong outside and middle-class, they really want to play with their lives, they are definitely not the opponents of our nine-sided elite." ”

"That's right......"

Everyone in the military has expressed their stance that they are all in the direction of the wind and are not optimistic about the displaced army.

Even the Red Lady is the same.

has been in the Wandering Army for a long time, she knows the Wandering Army too well, and the momentum is up, it is really invincible, but once the momentum is suppressed, it is a rabble.

In terms of the Political Affairs Department, several bigwigs are smiling with their beards, and they are obviously very optimistic.

Only Li Yan frowned slightly, thinking about something.

This made Xu Changqing's brows furrow.

Even now, the Exile Army has conquered Xijing and almost settled in the northwest of the country, everyone's mainstream concept still doesn't take it seriously.

But Xu Changqing was not in a hurry to show it, and looked at Li Yan and said, "Strategist, what do you think?" ”

Although Xu Changqing was as calm as water at this time, Li Yan also knew Xu Changqing very well, just looking at Xu Changqing's deep eyes, he understood what he should do.

Hurriedly cleared his throat, bowed his hand respectfully to Xu Changqing and said: "Lord, although Uncle Dingbei has won a big victory in this battle, but in the eyes of his subordinates, the victory in this battle has some disadvantages more than advantages......

"Ridiculous!"

"Obviously winning the battle, how can it do more harm than good? Strategist, you don't scare people here?! ”

Before Li Yan finished speaking, Zhao Zengjin was interrupted by pulling his neck.

Everyone in the military was obviously dissatisfied with Li Yan's attitude, and they were all a little blushing and thick-necked.

This is also the atmosphere deliberately created by Xu Changqing, the confrontation between the military and the government.

Li Yan was suddenly a little embarrassed.

In previous meetings, even if the military people were unhappy with him, they rarely scolded him like this, but at this time, Zhao Zengjin's attitude seemed to represent that the military wanted to raise their heads and suppress their political affairs office.

"Shut up!"

"Why did you interrupt when the military advisor spoke? After the meeting was dismissed, I went to get twenty military sticks myself! ”

Zhao Zengjin was still a little proud, and he wanted to suppress Li Yan again, but he was directly stopped by Xu Changqing coldly.

"Well, it's ......"

Zhao Zengjin's excited face suddenly froze on the spot, and he didn't dare to say more than half a word, so he hurriedly lowered his head.

In Shandong Left Association, Xu Changqing's majesty is unquestionable!

Everyone in the military also felt Xu Changqing's attitude, and they were all honest and well-behaved one by one.

"Strategist, you go on."

"Yes."

Li Yan breathed a long sigh of relief, although there was a faint smile on his face, but there was a bitter smile in his heart.

The majesty and wrist of the lord are becoming more and more proficient......

But at this time, he didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly continued: "Everyone, if you say that the former thieves were suffering from scabies, I have no objection. However, this time is different, the thieves have been fighting continuously in recent years, and the old battalion has risen up, and its combat effectiveness is not weak. Uncle Dingbei seemed to have won a big victory this time, but in fact, he only defeated a tiger and Li Guo's thousands of people. And among these thousands of people, the old battalion soldiers are probably only a thousand, and they may not have suffered much damage.

The key is that the main force of our official army has not eased up at this time, if it is good to give up the Huayin line and retreat to Tongguan, but if it does not give up, the two sides will definitely start a showdown around Huayin......"

With Li Yan's narration, everyone's faces began to condense.

At this time, even if Zhao Zengjin and others still lack political experience, they have extremely rich military experience, especially the understanding of the Ming system, which is also more thorough.

Needless to say, Wang Pu bypassed Huayin, and he definitely didn't want to give up Huayin, according to the duty of defending the territory, most of the battles would start around Huayin.

But the official army did not have the capital to fight the main force of the exile army at this time......

……

In the whole meeting, except for stopping Zhao Zengjin's rudeness to Li Yan, Xu Changqing did not say a word the rest of the time, leaving time and space to the bigwigs on both the military and political sides.

But the more Xu Changqing was like this, the more they were not calm, and as soon as the meeting ended, they quickly began to plan a response plan for the model army.

Back in the inner study, Xu Changqing couldn't help but let out a long breath of turbidity.

How difficult is it to resist the torrent of history?

Even if Xu Changqing is a traverser, he is trembling at this time, walking on thin ice.

No way.

Military affairs are by no means child's play, and if you are not careful, it is very likely that you will lose everything!

And the current state of affairs, Xu Changqing really can't be optimistic about Sun Chuanting......

However, even if the situation was collapsing, Xu Changqing couldn't let it affect his rhythm.

In the afternoon, Xu Changqing took Li Yan, Li Hongyun, Uncle Zhong and others to inspect several large canneries in the southeast of Haicheng.

The dispatch of troops can be delayed, but the necessary preparations must be made, as the so-called 'preparedness'.

"Uncle, our several canneries combined, and now the number of large clay pots and cans that can be produced every day has exceeded a thousand. This is mainly due to the lack of supply on the side of the ceramic factory, if they can supply enough clay pots, two, three thousand, or even five thousand, it will not be a big problem......"

In the factory, several stewards diligently and eagerly reported to Xu Changqing the situation of the canning factory.

Because of Xu Changqing's painstaking management, Haicheng's fishing industry has been quite developed.

Especially after Xu Changqing won the ownership of many islands in Denglai, the fishing team often went deep into the Denglai area and even the southern Liaoning region many times, which also further increased the amount of fishing.

Especially in southern Liaoning, the fishing industry has been abandoned for more than ten years, and it is simply a super treasure trove.

And Haicheng itself has a strong location advantage.

Nearby, Zibo, Laiwu, Xintai and other places are rich in strategic resources such as coal and iron, and because of the depression of the general situation, the prices are not high, or even too low.

Now, the fire in the cannery is all about burning coal, and in the yards behind it, the coal is almost as high as a hill.

If it weren't for the lack of transportation capacity, the gang would have filled up several yards long ago.

Even, there are many people around who have inadvertently tasted the delicious taste of Haicheng's specialty canned fish through various channels, and have found various ways to buy it.

For this reason, some time ago, many canneries opened up some private trading, which can be regarded as creating a lot of income.

After inspecting several canneries one after another, and seeing that the output was guaranteed, Xu Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to look at Li Yan: "Strategist, what do you think?" ”

Li Yan sighed: "Lord, to be honest, there are some lowly positions, and I am not optimistic about Sun Butang......"

"Oh?"

"How?"

Xu Changqing handed Li Yan a cigar.

Li Yan took it with a smile, put it to his nose and sniffed it, and just wanted to speak, suddenly a pro-soldier hurriedly came to report: "Dashuai, the prince is here again, and he has brought a holy decree!" ”

Xu Changqing looked at Li Yan.

Li Yan also looked at Xu Changqing at the same time.

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile a little wryly.

The emperor can't sit still again!
