"Yang Zhan?" Zhu Linmiao patted his forehead, "Oh, he's Wang Yingxiong's lieutenant." This time, Wang Dutang dispatched many soldiers and horses into Huguang? ”
"Back to His Royal Highness, due to the tight affairs of the Northern Sichuan Imperial Palace, only more than 4,000 people can be drawn." Gu Yanwu hurriedly added, "But they are all strong in Shu, and they have to be assigned by the loyal marquis, and their combat power is beyond Huguang and there are many soldiers." ”
The main task of the Western Route Army attacking Huguang was to deploy defenses west of Yuezhou in order to cut off the westward route of the Huguang Army. However, at that time, even if He Tengjiao really fled in the direction of Sichuan, most of them would have been routed, and Yang Zhan's 4,000 men and horses should be enough to deal with it. Zhu Linmiao then ordered: "Let him temporarily garrison Wushan and wait for my order." Be careful not to let Huguang notice. ”
"My subordinates understand." Gu Yanwu replied and continued, "Your Highness, according to the news found in Beizhen, He Tengjiao has dozens of warships in the gathering, and if Yang Zhan's troops go straight down the river, they will be very vulnerable to attack. Subordinates suggested or sent water divisions to help. ”
"Well, you're right. Luo Ming's sailor division was transferred to guard the front line of Nanjing, and there must be a shortage of warships on the side of Jiangxi Wanji. The Galesse warship at the Longjiang Shipyard will soon be able to enter the water, which is suitable for this purpose. ”
After that, he looked at Gu Yanwu again and said, "By the way, is there any news from Sichuan Xiankou or Haoge?" ”
"Back to Your Highness, I haven't heard any movement."
Why is this "too cold" action so slow? Zhu Linmiao frowned and ordered, "The situation in Sichuan should be reported to me at any time." ”
"Subordinates obey."
Before dawn the next day, all the officials of Yingtianfu who were above the fifth rank gathered outside the political envoy in Nanjing, waiting for the start of the court meeting.
Not long ago, the Beijing examination papers have been completed, and there are more than 360 tribute students on the list, and nearly 100 of them have been immediately awarded official positions, which makes the former officials who waited for more than 10 years to take office drool with envy. In particular, the top three in the first class of the palace examination did not follow the convention to give the Hanlin Academy the positions of revision and editing, but directly entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Rites, which is simply a step to the sky.
There was no way, the previous Fujian courtiers formed a party to resist the relocation of the capital, which was resolved by Zhu Linmiao with a trick of "pinching the head and removing the tail", so that more than seventy percent of the people were left in Tianxing Mansion, and there was a lot of shortage in the court. And the batch of jinshi ordered by Zhu Linmiao himself, as his protégé, happened to "pick up the cheap".
In addition to the local officials from Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi, Zhejiang, Guizhou, and Guizhou who have been transferred to Beijing one after another, there are now basically candidates for important posts in the DPRK and China, and the operation of the imperial court is becoming more and more stable. Accordingly, the court meeting began to be held as usual.
Soon, the gate of the political envoy's yamen was pushed open, drums sounded all around, and the ministers rushed in, fighting in two rows in the open space outside the newly renovated Yimen according to their ranks.
After Zhu Linmiao and other courtiers finished their salutes, they immediately began to explain the matter, first summoned Yu Xin and Yang Tinglin, and took out a piece of music to signal, "Guangxi has a lot of soldiers and horses, and now Zhai Shiyun shows that there are not enough guards in Guidi, so we must do it as soon as possible." The Ministry of War will increase the salaries of 5,000 garrisons in Guangxi, and it must ensure the quality of the troops. Subsequently, the military department should also strictly follow up on the distribution of weapons and drills.
"The household department will arrange for the allocation of food and salary as soon as possible. With only 5,000 people, there isn't much pressure on the treasury, right? ”
Yang Tinglin hurriedly said: "Go back to Your Highness, it's enough to deal with it." ”
Yu Xin arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, this morning, Jiangxi Wandu Hall, please transfer back to Chen Bangyan's Ganzhou soldiers." The lower officials thought that after the restoration of Wuhu, Chen Bangyan's troops had no military affairs in Nanzhili, and they could be allocated to Guangxi, so Guangxi could recruit 3,000 new soldiers. ”
"Okay, just do as you say, and you can also transfer some Cantonese soldiers to Zhai Shiyun."
Yu Xin saved the imperial court some military expenses. Zhu Linmiao sighed secretly in his heart, so far, Zhai Shiqi and Wan Yuan Ji have each led their troops in place, and formed a joint encirclement of Huguang with Yang Zhan's Shu army and the loyal battalion. The "old and difficult" problem in Huguang has finally dawned on a complete solution.
According to the established Huguang strategy, the loyal battalion will use the identity of He Tengjiao's command to quickly insert the line between Yuezhou and Tongcheng and cut off the connection between Wuchang and Changsha. Later, Zhai Shiyun led his troops to converge with the loyal battalion, and the two had a total of 23,400 troops, which was enough to prevent the more than 60,000 Huguang troops stationed in Changsha from going north to reinforce He Tengjiao.
At the same time, Yang Zhanbu blocked the west side of Wuchang, and the 10,000 Yuan Ji Department adhered to the east side of Wuchang, and then sealed the Yangtze River on the north side with water divisions, and Wuchang became a lonely city.
Judging from the historical record of He Tengjiao's department, Wuchang still has 40,000 horses, and its combat effectiveness basically has no possibility of breaking through. At that time, Zhu Linmiao will carry out a follow-up strategy, and Huguang will have a great chance of returning to the rule of the imperial court peacefully. Even in the worst-case scenario, He Tengjiao stubbornly resisted, and his impact could be minimized. When the Dragon Guard Army is redeployed to attack, the damage to the Ming Dynasty as a whole will also be minimized.
Zhu Linmiao couldn't help but feel a little worried when he thought of this, Jiangxi, Guangxi, and Sichuan had several troops and horses mobilized, and he didn't know how much military pay would be spent to take Huguang, hoping that He Tengjiao could understand current affairs and not become a sinner in history.
After instructing Huguang related matters, he said to Xu Erlu, the newly promoted waiter of the Ministry of Rites: "The matter of building an embassy with Israel and Israel must be paid attention to, and the ambassador must be agreed on as soon as possible......
Before he finished speaking, he saw Lu Zhenfei coming out of class, and said in a loud voice: "Your Highness, all departments of Nanzhi have been actively fighting and fighting bravely. There were also many people in the coastal areas who asked to build more city walls and hoard military rations, and the Chinese and military forces of the DPRK all submitted their orders one after another, asking the imperial court to cross the river and go north as soon as possible. ”
He glanced at Zhu Linmiao and said earnestly: "And all these concertans are left behind......
"As the minister of the first emperor, he is always worried about the society. At present, our army has won a new victory, morale is soaring, and the government and the opposition are united to destroy the thieves. The minister thought that at this time, he would wave his army to the north to restore the great cause of the rivers and mountains with Jingguang! ”
A courtier on the side immediately stood up and echoed, "What the Lu Pavilion Department said is extremely true, the restoration of the country is at this time!" ”
"Your Highness, the hearts of the people are available, and the hearts of the army are available......"
"Your Highness, our army has won successive battles before, and the Jiangbei thieves are terrified, and they can be killed in one battle!"
"The minister seconded the ......"
Zhu Linmiao sighed secretly, and said in his heart that these civil officials don't know anything about military affairs, but they love to point fingers at wars, and how many times in the past Daming has been delayed by the indiscriminate command of civil ministers - anyway, it is not himself who loses the battle, and if he wins, it is a meritorious admonition. Now you want to do this again?
Others don't know the background of the Ming family, but he, the head of the family, knows best. Before the Northern Expedition to Nanjing, Yang Tinglin said that the military expenditure was insufficient, and at that time, all kinds of things were scraped together, and the taxes and silver owed by the salt sellers were recovered, so that the army could barely pay for the combat expenses.
At present, in order to deal with Zheng Zhilong's fleet, the money invested in the shipyard is more than six or seven hundred thousand taels, and the silver in the treasury is simply not enough to support the entire line to cross the river and advance north.
