Chapter Eighty-Seven: Not Afraid of a Battle

"Withdraw the ...... of the world's supervising army" Zhu Youzhen said abruptly: "Add officials to Sun Chuanting, supervise Shaanxi, Jin, and Gan, and encircle and suppress Li Zicheng." I take care of this matter! ”

"What can you say about this one?" Sun Chuanting put away the holy decree in his hand and was speechless for a long time.

At this moment, he was no longer in Xinye, Henan, but fled to Xi'an, Shaanxi with the defeated army.

Back in Xi'an, he waited tremblingly for Zhu Youzhen's wrath. In fact, in about the same time, Sun Chuanting was also defeated by Li Zicheng because of a heavy rain.

After that, Chongzhen was furious, but he couldn't clean up the broken mountains and rivers.

At present, compared with the very different things in history, Chongzhen still chooses to look forward to Sun Chuanting helplessly. On the holy decree, the handwriting of the officials and the knights came one by one, and the eunuchs who passed the decree spoke sonorously and forcefully, but Sun Chuanting, who had regained the name of moderation in the three provinces, lost his confidence: "In Shaanxi at the moment, where is the power of a blow?" I don't even know if Tongguan can be defended, so why continue?"

"General ......" Zhao Dayin looked at Sun Chuanting like this, and couldn't help but call softly.

Seeing this, Sun Chuanting cheered up, looked at Zhao Dayin and said, "There are still some backbones of the old Qin army, if you give me one more year...... Just a year ......"

As long as it takes one year, Sun Chuanting can take advantage of Nanjing's abundant supplies to train a new army that has always had good morale and appearance. But right now, neither Bai Guangen's department nor Gao Jie's department has no intention of fighting, they are a group of walking corpses who have lost their bones and souls. Relying on these surrendered thieves who have suffered repeated defeats and are lax in discipline, where does Sun Chuanting have the confidence to continue fighting?

Zhao Dayin said in a deep voice: "No matter what." Your Majesty believes in us so much, and your subordinates can only bow down and die. The general system. Cheer up! ”

Sun Chuanting nodded and said, "I know...... As long as Tongguan is not lost. We also had the opportunity to ......"

"I just hope that this time, no one will drop the chain again, especially the salary!" Zhao Dayin said silently.

On the canal, a fleet of ships silently headed west. Zhang Pu was full of spirits, and said in his heart: "The Holy God ordered me to enter Qin, which means that this time is the time for me Zhang Pu to establish military merits." Yes, and now, military merit comes first. Didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince achieve such a status by virtue of his military exploits? I'm the same, I can do this! ”

……

Nanking. Zhu Cihong convened an enlarged meeting of the State Cabinet and the Military Aircraft Division at the Military Aircraft Division.

Except for Huang Daozhou, the minister of education and culture who was sent to Suzhou to supervise the construction of the normal school, and Shi Kefa, the minister of clean government, who went to Anqing to inspect, all the cabinet and military ministers in Nanjing were present.

Yang Wenyue and Huang Daozhou of the Military Aircraft Department. The State Cabinet Li Banghua, Fu Shuxun, Gao Mingheng and XX were all solemn.

In the military aircraft department, Zhu Cihong did not sit on the platform, but found a craftsman to create a common long table in later generations, he sat facing south and north away, and the left and right sides of the text were opposite, and everyone sat solemnly and looked at Zhu Cihong.

Some people are very unaccustomed to it, and some people are secretly grateful to Zhu Cihong for such a novel way of meeting that allows everyone to have a seat.

"Everyone already knows about Shaanxi." Zhu Cihong said in a deep voice: "We will take care of the logistics. Do your best to support friendly forces. This time, Hu Dawei's department left his hand to open the seal. ”

The military aircraft department wrote in an uproar, and Hu Dawei in the seat got up and gave a military salute: "Yes!" ”

"As for what we're going to do next, you've probably guessed it. Expedition across the sea to Korea! Zhu Cihong said these words. The atmosphere on the field was on one side.

In particular, several old-fashioned ministers in the State Cabinet, such as Li Banghua and Gao Mingheng, all looked worried.

As the head of the state cabinet, Li Banghua couldn't help but speak: "Your Majesty, the expedition across the sea is extremely expensive. The possibility of the teacher's work being fruitless is too great, and please ask His Royal Highness the three divisions. At present, the domestic situation is thriving. The mountains and seas are in the ranks, and it is difficult to cross the Jiannu. Why not develop domestically first? ”

The rest did not speak. But except for the two people in the military aircraft department, everyone had an expression of approval.

"Quite the opposite." Zhu Cihong threw a look at the military aircraft, and then, a few people behind Yang Wenyue began to distribute a document: "After the calculation of the military aircraft department, crossing the sea and attacking far away is a more advantageous choice. And the reason is as simple. Production in the north of the Ming Dynasty has been destroyed by wars, disasters, and diseases. Even in Shandong and Henan, recovery and vitality exist only in a few places. Large quantities of military supplies would inevitably need to be transported north, and this would make the cost increase unbearable. In contrast, the loss at sea is obviously more slight, and a large ship carrying thousands of materials is comparable to more than a dozen ships. The risks at sea may seem enormous, but such risks can be gradually reduced through the increase of navigation technology and the continuous enrichment of experience. ”

Yang Wenyue took over the conversation and said, "This time, His Highness only invested 5,000 troops in the first batch. Experienced sailors have been recruited everywhere, and sailors in Dengzhou, Mingzhou and other places have been reorganized. I have to say that the depth of my Ming heritage is not comparable to that of a mere Jiannu, even though the water masters everywhere are erosive, but it is enough to select useful talents. The establishment of a supply line through the water channel was enough to save 20,000 people. This cost is more economical than transporting to Tongzhou and going to western Liaoning by land. ”

There is another layer that Zhu Cihong did not say, that is, it was rerouted to Tianjin by sea. Cao Yun consumes tens of millions of taels every year, countless manpower, and 200,000 soldiers. However, the benefits can only barely support the daily use of Beijing, which can be changed to sea transportation, but it can quickly reduce costs. However, this article is obviously not suitable for the current situation.

Everyone looked carefully at Zhu Cihong's recital, and they were somewhat convinced.

At this time, Zhu Cihong said again: "The most important point is that this battle has an innate moral advantage. The Joseon king Yi Liang, who surrendered to Jiannu, was not the legitimate successor of the Joseon king, but ascended to the throne through rebellion, for which Yuan Keli, the governor of Shandong, wrote a letter to criticize. ”

When Zhu Cihong mentioned this, everyone bowed their heads one after another, obviously thinking about it.

"Therefore, this time to attack Korea across the sea, the tactical goal is to control the royal city of Korea and boost the prestige of our Ming Dynasty, while the strategic goal will be limited to forcing North Korea to re-submit to the throne, admit the mistake of legitimacy on the throne, and completely turn back to the system of the Ming vassal state." Zhu Cihong said leisurely: "If North Korea does not obey, it will naturally be beaten until he obeys." However, according to the current intelligence, it only takes one war for the capitulation faction in North Korea to lose ground. ”

"Your Highness, now Korea is a vassal of Jiannu, and Jiannu has always been cunning and will not ignore it." Gao Mingheng said worriedly.

When Zhu Cihong heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "Good question!" Then I tell you, I'm afraid he won't come! ”
