Chapter 1160: Necessary Soberness

Su Jun's biggest credit is the development of several key inside lines.

The development of the inner line of this kind of thing, in fact, is the most difficult, high status is generally unable to develop, do not do well but expose their identity, low status development more, not much effect, only those in the middle class, can grasp the information of the high-level, that is the best development goal, but unfortunately these middle-level personnel, the future has too much uncertainty, maybe when to operate, promotion up, so people have a lot of concerns.

Su Jun put aside this kind of fixed thinking, his goal is to focus on the practical aspect, that is, in key places, no matter what the identity of the other party is, even if it is a very inconspicuous character, he must find a way to develop into an insider.

For example, this time, Su Jun left a great credit, and he set his sights on the official post.

Don't underestimate a place like the official post, a place to receive officials, what kind of news, it is difficult to hide from the people in the official post, the status of these people is very inconspicuous, and no one pays attention to it, just they can know a lot of information, even those officials in the official post will not think of guarding against these post guards who serve them.

Su Jun has developed an inside line in many official posts in Nanzhili, and it is a hardcore inner line, Su Jun, who has come up from the bottom, knows very well what these people think inside, and it can be said that he does what he likes, so that these people are willing to provide information, and it is very safe, and there will be no real danger.

This time, the post guards in the official post played an important role.

Although it is said that Zhu Youxiang and Qin Sande held several meetings in the official post, the post guards are not qualified to know, but from the actions and words on weekdays, they can analyze one or two, plus some times. For example, generals such as Zuo Liangyu and Huang Degong didn't pay much attention to what they said, and they inadvertently revealed the news.

The news continued to flow to Zhejiang and Shandong.

That is, relying on this information, Qu Qingze, Su Jun and others conducted a serious analysis, combined with a lot of information, and made a lot of judgments. Provide it to Su Tiancheng to make a decision.

Zuo Liangyu suddenly disappeared from the official post, and a large number of Zuo Liangyu's subordinate officers entered Nanjing City, and immediately disappeared, and there were many generals who rushed to Nanjing City from the capital. Unified command.

This is extremely important information, and it is information that must not be ignored.

Zhu Xianxuan, Yang Sichang, Fan Jingwen, Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting and others were concentrated in the wing room of the governor's yamen.

Everyone was very serious, and the sudden information made them feel shocked, they couldn't imagine that Qu Qingze and Su Jun would be able to obtain such important information, for everyone who had just studied the establishment of the official government, the official situation and other matters. The next conquest is the most important thing.

Everyone looked at Su Tiancheng, and they said everything they should have said. Just waiting for Su Tiancheng to make a decision.

The opinion of the people is very clear, since the intelligence is accurate, it means that the sergeants stationed in Huizhou Mansion and other places have an unstable military spirit, and launching an attack at this time will definitely achieve the best results. Taking advantage of the fact that the officers and sergeants still need to run in, they can wipe out the army stationed in Nanzhili in one fell swoop, and they will be able to rule the entire south as quickly as possible.

Su Tiancheng has already considered this problem, Zhu Youxiang and Qin Sande, the two opponents. He has been analyzing why Zhu Youzhen sent these two people to Nanzhili to lead this extraordinary decisive battle, whether it was an unintentional move or an intentional one, but it is a pity that Su Tiancheng, like everyone, was not able to fully understand the reason for this.

To say that the imperial court can't send very good commanders, from the current situation in the dark miasma of the capital, Su Tiancheng feels anxious for Zhu Youzhen, isn't this self-destructive foundation and doesn't want to continue the country.

Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, Su Tiancheng spoke calmly.

"Your opinions this time are very unified, that is, to ask for an immediate attack, there are many reasonable factors in this, after all, there is a need to run in between officers and sergeants, and it is the biggest taboo to change generals at all times, and the combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened.

"But I don't think so, there are three reasons for this."

"The reason for the first aspect is in our own body, the battle to exterminate Liu Zeqing was too smooth, 100,000 troops, a few days of ashes, which made many soldiers in the Jiangning battalion, a little proud and complacent, thinking that it is not a difficult thing to take Nanzhili, so that it is not a difficult thing to take the capital, this kind of thinking is unacceptable, if you don't get it right, you will break into a big disaster, I have long said that strategically we can despise the opponent, but tactically we must attach great importance to the opponent, and we must use the mentality of the lion to fight the rabbit to fight every battle, In this regard, I hope that Lord Hong, Lord Lu, and Lord Sun will worry a lot, and they will never let such emotions spread. ”

"The second reason lies in the timing, you all know the road, there are less than two months to go, it is the autumn harvest season, once the war starts, it will inevitably be a disaster, which no one can control, the people can not be harmed, if we launch an attack now, no one knows how long the battle will last, more than 300,000 troops, as well as the solid city of Nanjing, take it is not between words, if it is because of this attack, delay the autumn harvest of the people, how should the people live, I can even predict that next year will be a year of famine, and all these problems need to be solved by us, that is, this year we have started the war ahead of schedule, that is, it will bring great trouble to our governance next year and even in the second half of the year. ”

When Su Tiancheng said the second reason, Zhu Xianxuan, Yang Sichang and others nodded again and again, they really didn't expect this, the war was happy, but the trouble left behind was huge, to relieve the people, I don't know how much silver it costs to relieve the people, you must know that Nanzhili is a rich land, and the population is also very concentrated, far more than Beizhili, and you can't watch the people starve to death.

"The third reason is that we must be clear about the strength of the opponent, Zhu Youxiang and Qin Sande are not Liu Zeqing, judging from what they have done, they are fully prepared, and they want to fight with us, although the army in their hands may not be strong, there is such and such a gap, but the advantage in numbers exists, and we must not ignore this."

"The Jiangning battalion soldiers who can participate in the conquest of Nanzhili, the total number is 140,000, including the 40,000 people who have just entered the army, in terms of the number of people, we are less than half of the opponent, the importance of Nanzhili is self-evident, we occupy Nanzhili, it is equivalent to ruling the entire south, enough to shake the stability of the imperial court, presumably after the start of this battle, it will become a battle of great concern to the imperial court, maybe in the process of the battle, the imperial court will ignore everything, It is even possible to draw troops stationed in Datong and Liaodong to join the battle. ”

"The situation we are facing is generally good, but there are also problems, the situation in the grassland has fluctuated, the Houjin Tartars seized this opportunity, activities in the grassland, what happened in the imperial court, the grassland also knows the way, they are facing a choice, I have sent people to contact the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe, and clearly warned them, no matter what happens in the imperial court, their position cannot be shaken, and they must not fall to the Houjin Tartars, otherwise the next Jiangning camp will not be polite to them, Fortunately, the leaders of the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe knew the strength of the Jiangning battalion, and they also fought with the Jiangning battalion, and they would not waver in a short time. ”

"Houjin Tartars are ready to move, we can't control it, the whip is beyond reach, maybe after the battle of Nanzhili begins, the battle in Liaodong will also start, do not do well, Houjin Tartars may even take advantage of the emptiness of the capital, occupy the capital, such a situation exists, and we can't avoid it, but we must be prepared, I will give the Houjin Tartars a warning when the battle of Nanzhili begins, if they dare to destroy the capital, just like they did with Dengzhou Laizhou, so that the capital becomes a ruin, Then I will chase to the ends of the earth, and I will destroy everything in the Golden Tartars after him, including the tombs of their ancestors, including their heirs, and leave no one behind, I will tell them, and I will do what I say. ”

"In the face of so many problems, whether we are ready, whether we have a clear understanding, these are all questions that we need to think about, so I think that our plan should not change, or start the expedition after the autumn harvest, although in this way, Zhu Youxiang and Qin Sande have more time to prepare, and their combat effectiveness will be stronger, so it doesn't matter." ……

Su Tiancheng's decision has been unanimously approved by everyone, and what everyone admires the most is that Su Tiancheng does not ignore everything when considering every battle, but thinks very far-reaching, including how to govern these places in the future, how to do a good job in the relief matters after the battle, all of which are considered comprehensively, this is actually an attitude, an attitude that reminds everyone that we must consider the consequences when doing things, think about everything clearly, treat it as a matter of our own family, and choose the best effect.

As long as Su Tiancheng thinks like this, everyone has full confidence, and it is absolutely impossible to follow Su Tiancheng to do things, who doesn't want to build a strong and prosperous country, which will be able to leave a name in history in the future and be admired by thousands of people.
