Chapter 1187: Can You Feed So Many People?



Zhou Zhongying is a person who has no skills, but he knows how to make fun, so he interjected: "I don't know why Master Hou sighed, and why did he know that Jiannu would not succeed?" ”

Sun Yuan: "In the twelfth year of Chongzhen's southern invasion of Jiannu, during the Battle of Jinan, a certain defeated Dorgon's Left Route Army, do you know how much was captured?" ”

Zhou Zhongying smiled flatteringly: "Xiaosheng was still in Yangzhou at that time, how do you know?" couldn't see the heroic posture of Hou Ye on the battlefield with his own eyes, Xiaosheng was very regretful. Marshmallow"

Sun Yuan: "In that year, Dolgon's Left Route Army alone captured a population of 257,000, more than 4,000 taels of gold, and more than 1 million taels of silver. This is one of them, and the other is about the same capture. How many years have passed, from Beijing to Shanxi, to Shaanxi, across Henan, into Jianghuai, how can it be only 400,000 taels of silver, and the captured population is only more than 1,100. After this war, the balance of power between the Ming and Qing dynasties is likely to be completely reversed. ”

Zhou Zhongying: "Master Hou sees the subtlety, sees thousands of miles, and Xiaosheng admires." ”

Xingtai also interjected: "Master Hou, when Jiannu was in Liaodong in the past, the territory was so big, and it didn't cost much to manage the place. When he encountered Huai Nianjing, he couldn't support it, so he sent troops into the customs to grab a handful. For Jianzhou, Daming is a cornucopia, as long as you stretch out your hand, you can touch three melons and two dates on the left and right. But now that he is in the Central Plains, he doesn't know how many times the territory has expanded. Relying on the few men and horses of the Eight Banners alone, let alone management, they can't defend it if they want to defend it. Therefore, if you want to manage a huge North China, you have to rely on the Han people. ”

"This has invisibly increased the expenditure tenfold, coupled with the surging of rebel armies everywhere, and it is necessary to suppress it

。 It was necessary to assemble more Han troops, and as soon as the next time came, the Manchu finances began to be tight. In the past, Jiannu had no money, so he could go south to rob. But now, the whole cornucopia is in their arms. But at this time, Jiannu suddenly found that there was no money in this pot at all. ”

"Haha, that's right." Sun Yuan laughed.

"The point is, the north is too poor, and Duoduo can't grab anything at all, especially Shaanxi and Henan." Fu Shan also nodded and said: "Since the early years of Chongzhen, Shaanxi and Henan have been in drought almost every year. In the first year of Chongzhen, drought and frost plague were eaten; In the second year, there was another great drought in the north, and people were cannibalistic. [Marshmallow wants to read almost all the books.,It's much more stable and faster than the general station.,There's no ads in the whole text.] For three years, and there was a great drought in Shaanxi, there was no harvest of rice fat in summer and autumn. In the past five years, there has been a great drought in Shaanxi, cannibalism and zombies everywhere. In the past six years, there was a severe drought in Henan, and more than half of the people in western Henan died...... In the sixteenth year, the locust plague in western Henan was lost, and the harvest was lost in summer and autumn...... This was really the route of the Duoduo army's march south to attack Nanjing, and there were no decent supplies along the way. All the grain and straw had to be transported all the way from Gyeonggi and Shanxi, and it is understandable that they are poor as they are now. ”

As if he was endorsing, he told the natural disasters from the first year of Chongzhen to the first year of Hongguang in a complete way, and everyone sighed for a while. At this time, everyone seemed to understand a little. The Ming Dynasty became what it is now, not because the thieves and Jiannu were too fierce, but because the climate in the north was too bad. To put it mildly, God is not on the side of Emperor Chongzhen.

Fu Shan continued: "The reason why the Ming Dynasty became what it is now, so that Beijing fell and Chongzhen was martyred, is because the north is too broken, dragging the whole country into a bottomless abyss. Jiannu's bullying of the weakened Ming Dynasty is not a great martial art. Now, they have entered the Central Plains, and they know that firewood and rice are expensive when they become families. As long as he can't take the land of wealth in the southeast, Jiannu will not be able to hold on to the burden of North China for a few years. Yingchuan Hou, you are right, one is going to go and the other is rising, after this war, the balance of power between the Ming and Qing dynasties is about to be completely reversed. ”

Sun Yuan thought of the suffering suffered by the people of the northern country in the past ten years, and his heart was also sad: "That's it, let's not talk about this." One wanted to ask how this battle should be fought, and how to solve the problem of Duoduo perfectly. Dafang has already killed Azig, and the main force of our Ningxiang Army is lagging behind the navy. Also, don't forget, Liu Chun from Huai'an is still waiting for us. ”

There has been news from Huai'an, Liu Chun, this kid is really a ruthless character, he and Hao Xiaoren together have captured the military power of the entire Shandong Army, and even Liu Zeqing died inexplicably. Although Liu Chun didn't say how Liu Hezhou died, Sun Yuan had already guessed that Liu Chun had really committed the crime of killing his father, and this kid was a bad wolf. Although he is a bastard, he is my Sun Yuan's bastard.

After mastering the entire Shandong army, Liu Chun pulled his troops into Huai'an City, relying on the strong city walls to defend them

。 From time to time, small groups of troops were sent to counterattack along the waterways crisscrossing Huai'an Province, making Jiannu embarrassed.

Until now, the fighting over there is still fierce, and I don't know what the specific situation is. However, according to the letter, Liu and Hao both patted their chests and promised to be able to defend Huai'an for at least two to three months, and asked the main force of the Ningxiang Army to eliminate Duoduo as soon as possible and go north to rescue.

Liu Chun and Hao Xiaoren were anxious, and Sun Yuan was also anxious. If Huai'an is lost, the north gate of Yangzhou will not be guaranteed, and there will be great trouble in the future. As the saying goes, guarding the river must guard the Huai, and Liu Chun can't make any mistakes.

Now he just wanted to immediately mobilize a large army and rush directly into the old camp of Duoduo to completely solve the enemy along the way.

Fu Shan shook his head and smiled: "If you can fight without blood, why bother with that spirit, Yingchuan Hou, you have always been a calm person, why are you so impulsive now." The enemy has run out of food, and we don't have to waste our troops to fight, so we surrounded it from a distance, and after ten days and a half months, we told the enemy to come out and surrender one by one. Also, the weather is already very hot, and the rain is like this, even if the slaves don't fall and don't starve to death, aren't they afraid of the plague? It only takes a wind chill to make Jiannu fall down one by one like a plagued duck. ”

Zhou Zhongying continued to make fun: "Yes, Master Hou, what kind of fighting, according to the lower officials, only the enemy who starved to death of the epidemic was happy!" ”

Sun Yuan: "That's the truth, I'm concerned, I'm anxious, I'm anxious, I'm anxious, according to the words of the green lord, I will surround Duoduo for ten days and a half months." ”

After speaking, he whipped his war horse and ran out first: "Let's go, look at the enemy's camp." ”

The people behind were shocked and hurriedly followed: "Master Hou, wait, wait!" "In the sound of the horse's hooves, muddy water splashed in all directions, like an oolong.

"This Sun Taichu......" Fu Shan shook his head disappreciatively: "I always like to rush to the forefront, and he still thinks that he is the former general of the Bohai Sea?" ”

Fu Shan is a literati, afraid of dirty, unwilling to run away, and deliberately falls to the last. There is another person beside him, it is Xingtai.

Xingtai looked at Sun Yuan, who was rushing forward in high spirits, his face was full of fanaticism, and he muttered: "The dragon qi is rising, the dragon qi is majestic!" ”

Fu Shan is an old fox without any principles, and he has no nostalgia for the Ming Dynasty that he has repeatedly tried and failed, and even has a trace of hatred

。 Hearing Xingtai's words, not only did he not interrupt, but he stroked his beard and smiled: "Sun Taichu, the real generation of heroes!" ”

Xingtai: "Mr. Qingzhu, I heard that Zhu Yuanzhang and Chengzu, the founding emperors of your Han people, were all about to win the world immediately, and it seems that the founding kings of the country are all going to be killed on the battlefield." ”

"It is inappropriate to compare Taichu to Taizu Chengzu." Fu Shan shook his head: "Those two emperors are ruthless, iron-blooded and ruthless, and they are not good monarchs." On the surface, the Marquis of Yingchuan seems to be a decisive person with thousands of troops and horses, but in fact, his heart is very soft, and he also misses the old feelings. If you really want to compare, maybe it is Zhao Da in the Song Dynasty. With him, there will definitely be no end, and it is also your blessing. This time, it is impossible to fight a big battle. Depending on the situation, it is more about recruiting the Qing army. You are from Jianzhou, and it is time to show your talents. ”

"Sir, as a Jianzhou person, no one knows the enemy's nature better than me, and it is very difficult to recruit them." Xingtai's face was depressed: "You have also seen that up to now, the entire Ningxiang Army is full of people." The affairs of the Military Coordination Office have not been able to carry out smoothly so far. ”

Fu Shan: "Things are done by people, work hard to do it, and there will be good results." Even if there are no achievements, your efforts, Ying Chuanhou will not turn a blind eye, many times, all he wants is an attitude. Regarding employing people, I remember that Yingchuan Hou said a sentence to me, which is very reasonable: if people are deficient, it doesn't matter, everything is done more, practice makes perfect. The so-called, virtuous and talented, promoted and reused; Talent without virtue, limited use; If you have no talent, you can cultivate and use it. There is no virtue and no talent, and it is resolutely not used. ”

Xingtai nodded thoughtfully: "Sir, I still have something to ask." ”

Fu Shan: "You say." ”

Xingtai: "Previously, Mr. Hou Yehe talked about the current situation and reviewed the financial difficulties encountered by the Qing Dynasty after entering the customs, saying that now the north is ruined, and Jianzhou will not stay in Beijing for long. Moreover, after the battle of my Yangzhou Town, there will be a Northern Expedition next year. In fact, all the lords and generals in the town know in their hearts that once our army occupies the north, it will definitely discharge its own officials to manage the place, and will not hand over the chassis that was beaten down with the blood of the brothers. No matter who he is, even the small court of Nanjing. Moreover, the Hou Ye also ordered the field to be awarded with military merits, and this field house naturally had to fall in the borderless land in the north. ”

Fu Shan: "That's about what you think, you go on." ”

Xingtai stretched out his hand and touched his shiny forehead, and the stubble of his hair rustled under his hands: "Now that the north has been ruined, let's go over, can we feed so many troops?" If the last general guessed correctly, after this battle, Hou Ye will expand the army. Today, our army has only more than 20,000 horses, how to operate this? ”
