(Thank you Alin 2013 for voting your valuable monthly ticket, thank you for not choosing the middle route and zz11117 for your reward, thank you.) )
Su Tiancheng led the army of the Jiangning battalion, and indeed slowed down the pace of the attack, this is because Qu Qingze and Su Jun have obtained too much important information, needless to say, the messy things in the capital needless to say, the key is that many things that happened in Nanjing City have aroused his great attention.
Su Tiancheng and Zhu Youxiang are still relatively familiar, and they know that Zhu Youxiang has a good ability, and can mobilize a large army to be stationed in Nanjing City in the shortest possible time, focusing on guarding Nanjing City, which is a wise move, according to the strong city walls of Nanjing City, there are more than 100,000 troops guarding, if you want to take it, it is not as simple as the front, and as long as the soldiers in the city have the same hatred and hatred for the enemy, desperately defending, the Jiangning battalion will have to pay huge sacrifices, it is possible to take Nanjing City, and it may even not be able to take it for a long time. As a result, other abnormal situations occurred in various parts of the Ming Dynasty.
Asking the army to slow down the pace of the offensive, of course, because of the measures of the imperial court, the news of Zhu Youxiang's suicide, Su Tiancheng laughed after hearing it, this is an impossible thing, he knows Zhu Youxiang, Zhu Youxiang is not a person who will commit suicide casually, there must be something greasy in this, and after analyzing Qu Qingze, Lu Xiangsheng and others, Su Tiancheng believes that Zhu Youxiang was framed by someone, took all the responsibility for failure, and then was wiped out, this possibility is completely existent, and Qin Sande, the supervising army, is safe and sound, it can be expected, Everything in this is operated by Qin Sande, after all, the force behind Qin Sande is powerful.
Zhu Youxiang died. Su Tiancheng's heart is still a little fluctuating, to say that Zhu Youxiang was also influenced by Zhu Xianxuan and him, lost Zhu Youzhen's trust, and died a tragic death.
These actions of the imperial court are tantamount to suicide.
In view of this, Su Tiancheng had other ideas, maybe he didn't need to attack strongly, and he could take Nanzhili.
The actions of the new marshal Qian Qianyi and the supervisor Cao Huachun in Nanjing made Su Tiancheng feel amused, although Qu Qingze and the others were angry. thinks that those good-for-nothing scholars and students in Nanjing are too much. dared to publicly insult His Royal Highness King De, after taking Nanjing City, he must severely punish these scholars, but Su Tiancheng didn't care. Scholars have been able to scold since ancient times. Those who are in high positions need to have grace. Just ignore these funny moves.
Su Tiancheng quickly summoned Zhu Xianxuan, Hong Chengchou and others to come to discuss.
Hong Chengchou, who had already occupied Zhenjiang Mansion with a large army, hurried to Liyang, to which Yingtianfu belonged.
Liyang County Yafang Room.
Qu Qingze carefully reported on what was happening in Nanjing, including some things in the capital. When it comes to key places, Su Tiancheng will interject and add a few words, everyone listens very seriously, in fact, when Qu Qingze reported the information, everyone understood the meaning, it seems that Su Tiancheng is going to take advantage of these opportunities, after all, the chaotic actions of the imperial court will break the hearts of many people, and will also make many people make other choices.
After Qu Qingze reported the situation, Su Tiancheng did not ask everyone to discuss, he had already made up his mind, these decisions did not need to be discussed, and he could directly ask everyone to implement them.
"There are so many things happening in Nanjing City and Beijing City, just now Qu Qingze said in detail, the place that should be supplemented and analyzed, I also said, in the face of such a situation, what kind of choice should we make, is it to continue to storm Nanjing and Fengyang Fucheng, you know the way, Nanjing is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the degree of prosperity is not ordinary, but if it encounters a battle, it will definitely cause huge damage, some things will not be transferred by our will, the soldiers are divided, and the lives are ruined, If we can take the city of Nanjing peacefully, it will be the best thing, and we can protect the city of Nanjing, which will be of great benefit to the administration of Japan in the future. ”
"I guess Master Zhu must have the same feeling for this."
Zhu Xianxuan nodded again and again, and took a complete Nanjing city that was not subjected to artillery fire, which was a good thing for him who presided over the government.
"If we want to take Nanjing and Fengyang Mansion peacefully, it is not so simple, the so-called good things are grinding, but we must grind, so our combat deployment has to be adjusted accordingly."
"Hong Chengchou led the army and occupied Yangzhou Mansion and Huai'an Mansion, don't be in a hurry to attack Fengyang Mansion City and form an encirclement posture of Fengyang Mansion, as for the army led by Lu Xiangsheng and me, after occupying Lishui, march in the direction of Jurong, but don't directly attack Nanjing City, which will also form an oppressive situation for Nanjing City."
"There are two people we need to fight for, Sun Tai, the governor of Nanjing and Zhejiang, and Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, tomorrow I will send a special person to contact Sun Tai and Ma Shiying, and tell them that choosing to surrender is the best way, as long as we win these two people, we can completely achieve the goal of taking Nanjing City and Fengyang Mansion peacefully."
"As for Qian Qianyi and Cao Huachun, we don't need to ignore them and let them behave in Nanjing, which will be of great benefit to us, and we will be able to take Nanjing City and Fengyang Mansion peacefully in the future, and we will be able to thank them. Of course, the first thing we need to thank is Qin Sande, this Qin Sande, and I are actually very familiar with it, he used to be the supervisor of the Jiangning battalion, he didn't learn any skills, and made some unbelievable deployments, and after the failure, he shifted all the responsibility to Zhu Youxiang, saved himself, but destroyed the court and Zhu Youzhen. ”
"You may think that it is very difficult to fight for Sun Tai and Ma Shiying, especially Sun Tai, who has not been promoted for a long time, and is very grateful to the imperial court, and will definitely do his best, and will not think of rebellion, it may have been like this before, but this happened to Zhu Youxiang, I think Sun Tai should also think about himself, is it Buzhu Youxiang's back road, or make other choices, at least Sun Tai will have such thoughts, we just want to use this opportunity to promote Sun Tai's surrender."
"Ma Shiying's idea is probably more urgent, Fengyang Mansion City is different from Nanjing City, there is no city wall to protect it, we want to take Fengyang Mansion City, it is much simpler, so Ma Shiying's pressure must be huge, Huang Dequan's sergeant is very brave, Ma Shiying is also clear, but Huang Degong was also exterminated by us, in this case, Ma Shiying already has other ideas, and it is even possible to test Sun Tai's idea."
"We have to take advantage of this opportunity."
"There are two more things, I can inform you, the leaders of the Xibe tribe and the Dauria tribe have expressed their support for us in private, if the imperial court wants to transfer troops, they will find other reasons to refuse, as for the fluctuations on the grassland, the problem is not too big, the leaders of the two tribes, knowing the courage of the Jiangning battalion, dare not make any changes, and at the same time they also sent people, there are many battles here, they are also clear, more than 100,000 Ming troops were wiped out by the Jiangning battalion, They must have known what the outcome of the rebellion would be, so they did their best to maintain the stability of the steppe. ”
"Houjin's Huang Taiji is also preparing, the Manchu Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners have added a lot of troops, but the combat effectiveness is not as good as the past, in addition, because of the mutual market in Liaodong, Houjin's grain and grass are not very tight, in recent times, especially after the autumn harvest, Houjin has bought a large amount of grain, this is thinking about what to do, it goes without saying, Liaodong Governor Shi Kefa found a problem, reported to the imperial court, did not get a response, did not want to decisively stop, but was indecisive, let the Houjin Tartars buy food, it is certain, It won't be long before they will have to pay a huge price for this indecision. ”
"The cruelty of the Houjin Tartars is well known, and the Houjin Tartars must not be allowed to break through the Guanningjin defense line, or even occupy the city of Beijing, in that case, the north will suffer heavy losses, which is extremely unfavorable to us, and there is also a problem of the influence of public opinion."
"Lost Nanzhili, the imperial court is anxious, maybe it will be desperate to draw troops from Liaodong and Datong to deal with us, so that Liaodong and Datong are empty, it is the opportunity of the Houjin Tartars, the direction of Datong is slightly better, the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe can resist, but Liaodong is different, if the Houjin Tartars really take Liaodong, and even attack the city of Beijing, the gentry and common people of the Ming Dynasty will think that it is I Su Tiancheng who rebelled and introduced the Houjin Tartars into the Central Plains, causing the people of the Central Plains to be ravaged, Even if we completely exterminate the Houjin Tartars in the future, we will find it difficult for us to bear such public opinion. ”
"So after taking Nanzhili, we must rely on Shandong, quickly march into the north, and take the capital as quickly as possible, so that the plot of the Houjin Tartars cannot succeed, in addition, we also need to remind Shi Kefa of Liaodong and Wang Daozhi of Datong, if they don't want to become sinners through the ages, they will try their best to defend the Houjin Tartars, don't take care of one or the other." ……
The room was very quiet, everyone listened very carefully, Su Tiancheng's plans, in their opinion, are completely feasible, in fact, the determination shown by this plan is exactly what everyone is looking forward to, after taking Nanzhili, the sword pointed at the capital, just thinking about overthrowing the court as soon as possible and establishing a new dynasty.
Su Tiancheng is still arranging, to do all this, a lot of preparations are needed, including sufficient preparation of grain and grass in the rear, because this battle must be New Year's Eve, and now it is August, maybe during the Spring Festival, it will not be able to rest.
Of course, the most important ones are Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng and others, who will be the commanders who directly carry out the order.
Because of Lu Xiangsheng's excellent performance, he basically commanded the army to fight, Su Tiancheng just made decisions, and Lu Xiangsheng was responsible for implementing the specific combat plan, and only Liu Tiehan was left by Su Tiancheng's side, because the scout battalion needed to reconnoiter a lot of intelligence, and some information Su Tiancheng needed to grasp as soon as possible, but this was only a temporary situation, once the battle began, Liu Tiehan would return to the barracks.
