Chapter 120: Rushing to the North
"My opinion is that it is not yet time to rush north. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info We have recovered Liaoyang and Shenyang. Half of the elite land in eastern Liaodong has been owned by my Ming Dynasty. Such a major event of recovering thousands of miles of land is enough for us to keep busy. At the imperial military meeting, Ni Yuanlu expressed his opposition to the action of going north.
Ni Yuanlu's opposition made Zhu Cihong frown slightly.
And in the audience, there are also many people buzzing.
Obviously, Ni Yuanlu's opinion is not the mainstream.
Ning Wei of the Praetorian Guard had a cold face and didn't say a word, just quietly looked at Zhu Cihong's eyes.
On the other side, before Hu Dawei of the Jinwu Army could speak, Li Guozhen was anxious: "Conquering Liaodong is only the first step, and the annihilation of Jiannu is the final result of the Eastern Crusade." Jiannu will not be destroyed, and there will never be peace in Liaodong! Over the years, no matter what kind of battle it is in the foreign war, it is all to annihilate Jiannu and sweep away the border troubles. At present, Korea is subjugated, Mongolia is pacified, and a bridgehead in southern Liaoning is established. All the foreshadowing is completed, but it tells me to soften myself at the most critical time, what is this called? ”
"Yes, there is no such reason!" On the other side, Liu Sheng, the commander of the Flying Bear Independent Division, was also unhappy.
The Feixiong Independent Division has always been proud of being the ace of the Ming Royal Army. This time, because the Feixiong Independent Division was not in Gyeonggi, but went to Sichuan to level the thieves, so it participated in the Liaodong War the latest. Even the Jinwu Army, which had won the great merit of recovering Shenyang, was not satisfied with stopping its troops, let alone the Feixiong Independent Division, which did not get any credit?
In the face of everyone's opposition, Ni Yuanlu was not surprised. At military meetings, people have always spoken their minds freely. Personal prestige is based on one's own constant victories, and if such a major disagreement arises, it is obvious that there is indeed a confusion in the thinking of the whole army. At this time, simply using authority to oppress people can only cover up the problem, but never solve the problem.
Ni Yuanlu got up and said: "To fight, you have to fight steadily, and you must not focus on merit, let alone ignore the reality because of your eagerness to fight." The current reality is the land of Liaodong, and we are no longer familiar with human geography. Although the people are around us, there are a large number of spies who are ready to disrupt our rear. Jiannu has been in business for more than 20 years, and it is a world dominated by Han children for a long time. There are a large number of Jurchen civilians here, and even the rest of the Jurchens who do not belong to the Jiannu Eight Banners. In this case, first, it is difficult to support logistics. Second, we will shift the host and the guest and lose the geographical advantage. Third, the more you go north, once you get stuck in the quagmire and the war drags on for a long time, you will soon enter the autumn and winter days. When the time comes, the time will not be on our side. Fourth......
There was a little silence in the room, and Ni Yuanlu said: "The fourth point is also the point that worries me the most. That is, at the moment, everything is scattered. The Praetorian Guard was in Shenyang, the 3rd Division of the Jinwu Army was in Liaoyang, and the 4th Division was in Baitapu. The first section of the Janissary Zhu Di was in Fengji Fort. Once you are eager to go north, is it better to join forces together, or to divide your troops and march separately? If the troops are combined, it will not be possible to meet the requirements of moving north quickly. In particular, the situation of food and salary replenishment in various departments is different, and according to the theory of shortcomings, if we want to replenish the Jinwu army that consumes the fastest, we need to wait for a month. Of course, as the vanguard of the Jinwu Army, the problem of slowing down is not particularly big. But what about the big one...... It is a matter of coordination and command of the ministries! ”
This era is not a later generation, there are mobile phones, radios, and secret quantum communication satellites. It can achieve long-distance and short-term instant communication, so as to quickly coordinate the actions of various departments.
In those days, there was no unlimited electricity, let alone a wired telegraph.
If you want to coordinate the actions of the various ministries, you must either prepare a well-thought-out plan of action and a comprehensive plan in advance, or you must rely on the keen sense of smell of the generals of each ministry and cooperate with each other through the liaison of chariots, horses, and flying eagles.
In fact, this kind of cooperation has been so smooth for a long time.
This kind of smoothness is not the smoothness of news communication, but the kind of smoothness that all departments are willing to cooperate.
Previously, as long as you think about how Lu Xiangsheng died, you will understand that when the Ming army fought, on the surface, it was 500,000 Ming troops against 100,000 Qing troops. But many times, it was the Qing army of 100,000 people who attacked separately, and the number was only tens of thousands of generals. Previously, the ability of the various departments of the Ming Dynasty to cooperate was really poor.
Therefore, when Ni Yuanlu said these words, Hu Dawei, Li Guozhen, Liu Sheng and other generals pondered for a while, but they were not in a hurry to oppose it.
It's just that Zhu Cihong on the stage gradually became impatient with his breathing.
He fell on Ning Wei and Yang Wenyue, and after glancing at each other, he nodded, closed his eyes and pondered.
The first to speak was Ning Wei: "I think ...... Need to go north as soon as possible! And, the sooner the better! ”
"We've paused for too long." Ning Wei said again: "If the treasure knife has been in the scabbard, it will rust sooner or later. For an army that has always been strong, it is only a matter of time before something happens in the pink heap. If we continue to pause and recuperate, we must face a problem, which is to go all the way up, then to decline, and then to exhaust ourselves. Breaking through the blockage in western Liaoning, this is a blow. Jiannu retreated by himself, and we were empty in a circle, which is called declining again. Three and exhaustion...... It is said that when the morale of the soldiers is adapted to such a calm and comfortable environment, we will find that we are exhausted no matter how hard we are encouraged! ”
As soon as Ning Wei's words came out, Ni Yuanlu frowned, and stopped talking.
In the audience, everyone listened to Ning Wei's words, and their eyes lit up.
They are small enough to be the commander of the Praetorian Guard.
The Praetorian Guard did not have many troops, but they were capable and strong. But it's like there is no first martial arts. As His Majesty's personal bodyguard, everyone felt that they were more qualified to hold such a glorious position. Therefore, everyone does not attach much importance to the current ability of the Praetorian Guard.
Naturally, it is difficult for an army that has rarely experienced a major war to convince the public. As the main general, Ning Wei, who is more responsible for protecting His Majesty the Emperor, lacks the prestige of being a man of his word. At this time, Ning Wei said such thoughtful words, which made everyone feel a little impressed by each other.
"The morale of the soldiers has indeed been a little bad during this time......
"Fortunately, a group of refugee women were repatriated, otherwise the daily barracks restraint would be enough. A while ago, dozens of people were beaten, but they still couldn't stop sneaking out of the barracks. ”
"If after a while, the babies will be there, how many points will be left of the soldiers' determination to participate in the war?"
……
At this time, Yang Wenyue also coughed lightly and stood up.
Everyone understands that a decision will soon be made.
A few words whispered
In the past few days, there has been an emergency at home, and today I flew back to Shanghai to participate in the company's annual meeting, so that you have been waiting for a long time, and please Haihan one or two~
