Chapter 107: Sea Attack

(Wake up in the middle of the night to code words, just ask for the red ticket in the hands of the brothers!) οΌ‰

In early December, the heavy snow weather for several days in a row, Yanjing City was covered in ice and snow, plain and silver, covering up a few sins and ugliness.

When the Hu people first entered the city, there was chaos in Yanjing City, and almost every day hundreds of people cut off the scimitars of the Hu people, and the bloody heads were hung on the saddle to swagger through the market. Now, even the Jinshi master in the front alley has become the Hanlin of the Hu people, and the little people who make ends meet, can they still gamble and do it with the Hu people?

A large number of displaced people were expelled from Yanjing City, the Hu people wanted to raise horses in captivity, and the Beijing camp surrendered to move south with their families and moved south, and settled in the Hejian and Zhending areas, and tens of thousands of palace maids and eunuchs were also expelled from Yanjing City.

After tossing this side twice, although tens of thousands of Hu people have moved in since September, Yanjing City is still much more empty than before. Compared with the empty city, the price of grain in Yanjing has also dropped sharply.

Some people don't know what to do, and they talk about it in the tea shop restaurant, but they think that the Hu emperor is no worse than the Han emperor; Since the Hu people entered the city, the things that have happened every day to bully children and daughters, invade fields and occupy houses are not very conspicuous.

There is a hearth burning under the base of the Arctic Pavilion of the Imperial City, and it is already extremely cold outside. Yezier wore a half-cut jacket of a golden silk embroidered dragon, his cheeks were thin and sunken, but he was flushed with steam, and sat in front of the carved dragon case made of golden silk nanmu, calmly reviewing the recital.

Zhang Xie gave him a seat, and sat on a corner of the sandalwood chair with half of his buttocks. This posture is struggling to sit, and the waist has to be straight, and when I came in, I thought I could leave, and I didn't take off the fur in the official robe, and my forehead was so hot that fine sweat was oozing at this moment. Besides, Na He Xiongqi, who was sitting opposite, stared at him with strange eyes, and Zhang Xie sat in the pavilion and felt as uncomfortable as an ant crawling.

"Zhang Xie," Ye Zier raised his head and asked Zhang Xie, "When the Southern Dynasty entered Yanjing, in addition to Jinggi, Datong, Xuanfu, and Jizhou, which each had military camps, there were more than one million mu of Huangzhuang in the inner prefecture of Jinggi and eastern Hebei, and they were able to collect grain from Jinggi, Yannan, and eastern Hebei, and they also transferred about 3 million stone of grain from Jianghuai and other places into Beijing every year. When my generals were in Liaoyang, they were quite puzzled by this, and felt that the Southern Dynasty had a lot of food, and they didn't think that the throne of the Son of Heaven could be my turn to sit on Dayan. Some people also say that even if the throne of the Son of Heaven is the turn of Dayan, don't do it. Just thinking that he had to raise three to five million stone rice grains every year to maintain Yanjing, he felt that this throne of the Son of Heaven was an extremely difficult errand. Even now, there are still many people who are in a dream, and I asked Zhang Qing, what is the reason for this? ”

"The emperor is thrifty and loves the people, the ministers are attentive, and the filial piety of the emperor is thousands of miles away," Zhang Xie sat up straight, bowed his hands and arched, Jiang Ning gave Emperor Chongguan a posthumous call, Zhang Xie naturally called the old lord with the title of the emperor, and said, "In the previous dynasty, according to the system, the province of internal servants was under the jurisdiction of the ban, in addition to the palace ban, the internal servants, palace maids, where there are more than 31,200 people, including nearly 1,000 ministers with grades - only this part of the people need millions of stones to convert rice and grain." In addition, there are more than 1,000 children of the clan who need to be supported by the imperial court in Yanjing City alone, and there are countless money and grains in this case. Although there are military camps in Gyeonggi and the three sides, they also exist in name only. The military tun was invaded by the generals and the wealthy families, and the military households became tenants sent at will, even far worse than the tenants. Most of the grain and grass collected by the military tun went into the granaries of the wealthy families, and only a small amount was used for military purposes, and it could not even make up for the military tun expenses. This kind of thing makes Yanjing not enough to meet the needs of the ...... even though a huge amount of grain and silver money is transported in Yanjing every year."

Ye Zier listened and pondered, and when he saw that Zhang Xie was no longer talking, he opened his mouth and said: "The various disadvantages you mentioned, at least three things were omitted......

"The old slave listens to the holy will ......" Zhang Xie called himself a slave and maid, flicked his sleeves and walked to the front of the hall and knelt down respectfully.

Liaoyang does not have these broken rules, and when He Xiongqi saw Zhang Xie's grandson running to the front of the hall and kneeling, he couldn't continue to sit still, and got up to kneel in front of the hall to listen to the training. Yezir waved his hand and said, "Let's all sit and talk...... Zhang Xie, you missed three things, one is that when you enter Beijing, you have to support officials and their families, and often dozens or even hundreds of people expect one person's money to be full of food and drink......"

"The emperor is aware of everything, and the old slave really didn't think of this......" Zhang Xie replied.

Ye Zier glanced at Zhang Xie. Zhang Xie's mansion, plus the military guards of the courtyard, there were more than 400 servants, and when his son Zhang Xitong went to Jiangning with King Ning, there were nearly 100 servants. These people can be supported by Zhang Xie, Zhang Xitong's father and son.

"Second, the land annexation in Gyeonggi, Yannan, and eastern Hebei is serious, and the meritorious officials, scholars, and meritorious and clan children have wantonly evaded the Ding tax, so that although dozens of counties in the land of Yan and Hebei have tens of millions of acres of fertile land, they can collect grain, which is not even as much as that of one county in the south of the Yangtze River......

"The emperor is aware of everything......" Zhang Xie resisted the urge to kneel in front of the hall and kowtow, but he just nodded yes, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were about to hang up.

"Before entering the city, I heard that a bucket of rice and grain in Yanjing would be sold for six or seven dollars of silver, and I led a large army to come in and beheaded a few unscrupulous grain merchants, and the price of this grain dropped sharply to two or three cents of silverβ€”it is still a profiteer to cheat the market. Zhang Xie, you are the right of me to inherit the government today, among the Hanchens, with you the most respectful, how many people are staring at you, this hand of governance can not be soft! There are some things, you let go and do it, and I will support you behind your back......" and disturbed some trivial political affairs, and Ye Zier asked Zhang Xie to kneel and leave.

"Zhang Xie is capricious, and Jiang Ning kept Zhang Xitong without killing, and the King of Khan gave him authority...... "After Zhang Xie left, Na Hexiong Qi admonished that after Yezier entered Yanjing, he changed his name to Khan and called him emperor, but he and many veterans are still used to calling Yezier "King Khan".

"......" Ye Zier waved his hand, not letting Na He Xiongqi continue, and said with a smile, "I know that many people have opinions about my reuse of Hanchen, but when it comes to governing councils, how many people in my clan can match Hanchen?" Speaking of soldiers and horses, the Southern Dynasty still has two or three hundred thousand soldiers and horses in Hehuai, and there are many cities. ”

Na He Xiongqi sighed lightly in his heart, that is, he gathered all the adult males of the Yandong tribes, which was less than 300,000 people, and without Han Chen and Han army, it was simply not enough to control the empire with a vast territory of thousands of miles.

"I didn't summon you to the palace for anything else," Ye Zier turned to the topic and said, "Luo Rong and Duo Di have a big difference of opinion on the Southern Expedition, I guess you have heard of it, I came to you to ask for your opinion." ”

The Southern Dynasty was actually divided into four towns on the first line of defense of Hehuai, Liang Chengyi of Hezhong Prefecture, Liang Taochun of Daliang, Liang Chengchong and his son of Luxi Liang Xi, Gu Wuchen and Gu Siyuan of Qingzhou, and they deployed two roads of soldiers and horses in the east and west: in the south of Jin, led by Ye Ji Luorong, the strength gradually increased to 80,000 foot cavalry; Yannan was led by Ye Ji Duodi, and the increase in troops also exceeded 70,000 foot cavalry.

Although the troops are divided into two routes, and troops and horses can be transferred from the Yanjing side to support the front, when it is really necessary to launch a large-scale offensive to tear apart the Hehuai defense line of the Southern Dynasties, it is necessary to maintain the principle of one static and one moving, one positive and one assisting, and one attack and one containment, so as to avoid the two fronts being frustrated at the same time and helpless.

Which of the two roads is the main one in the east and west, and the four towns at the front of the Hehuai defense line in the south of the country, which town to hit first, there are eight main attack plans in a careful row, and it is normal to have disagreements.

The plan with more concentrated opinions is to hit Luxi first.

Liang Xi, Liang Chengchong's father and son guarded the Plains Mansion and Jinan Mansion are more prominent, except for Ye Ji Duodi can Zhengda attack the front of Luxi, after the West Road successfully captures Qinyang, you can go out of the southeast foot of Taihang Mountain and attack Luxi's flank.

If you want to talk about the shortcomings, it is that Liang Xi, Liang Chengchong and his son have 60,000 soldiers and horses in Lu Wangbu, which is the road with the most soldiers and horses in the four towns, and the combat readiness of the soldiers is better than that of the other three towns; Liang Xi, Liang Chengchong and his son occupied Luxi for about three years, and they also operated for a long time.

Of course, in recent years, in addition to a small setback in the hands of the Huaidong Army, the Dayan soldiers and horses were invincible and invincible, and the Liang family was defeated and fled in the battle of Chentangyi, and the plains and Jinan were also successfully captured in four years, and the generals in the army did not care much about the 60,000 soldiers and horses of Liang Xi and Liang Chengchong and his son guarding Luxi.

Nahe Xiongqi thought to himself that if the Khan King agreed to this plan, he probably would not summon himself to the palace to ask for advice.

Na Hexiong Qi straightened out his thoughts and said, "The old slave thinks that Qingzhou should be attacked first......"

"Oh," Yezier's eyes lit up, leaning forward slightly, and asked, "What reason?" ”

"It's not that the old slave is frightened, but I feel that Huaidong is likely to be the most vicious obstacle to my Dayan's conquest of the world," Nahe Xiongqi said, "My army is besieging Jinhai, and Huaidong can still withdraw three or four hundred thousand soldiers and civilians from Jinhai by sea in four months, and this matter cannot be seen clearly with open eyes." In the future, as long as Huaidong is willing, they can even transport thirty or forty thousand elites by sea at a time and land at any location of their choice on the coastline of more than 1,000 miles from Cangnan to Songshan, threatening Yanjing. The king of Khan ordered the king of Baishan to lead 20,000 cavalry to garrison Jinhai, perhaps to guard against a possible sea disaster from Huaidong. Liaodong is the foundation of my Dayan, and there are deep ravines and ravines on both sides of Liaodong, and it is easy for big ships to berth along the coast. My Dayan is still able to deploy heavy troops between Cangnan and Songshan to defend against the sea, but Huaidong is determined to raid Liaodong by sea, how can my Dayan be prepared? ”

"Over the years, I have been in the Yan Army, and there are few of them, so far they have occupied Yan Ji, and the soldiers and horses have multiplied, and they are full of confidence, and they have the potential to sweep the world. In addition to the princes and ministers, most of the generals in the army also thought that it was the first time to Crushy and then enter Henan. After that, the troops were divided or entered into Keqin County from Wuguan and Tongguan; Or from Shouzhou down, swept Jinghu, Huaixi, into Jiangning, from then on the world is determined," Ye Zier said, "If it can be destroyed, broken in one fell swoop, it is okay, I am afraid of being trapped between the two Huai and repeatedly - this is very likely, the two Huai cities overlap a lot, the rivers and lakes are dense, it is a place where the navy is fighting for power and the horse army is weak, and the Southern Dynasty is already preparing in the two Huai at this time." Whether it is the Huaidong Water Army or the Jiangning Water Battalion transferred to the Zhun River, our Dayan soldiers and horses want to cross the Huai River to the south, and the chance is slim. The only way to go to Xiangyang, first conquer Jinghu, and seek to enter Jiangning in the east. However, the battle line will inevitably be extremely long. At this time, Huaidong will send troops by sea to launch an attack on the coast of the Bohai Sea and the east coast of Liaodong, which will be an extremely headache! There's no such thing in this world......"

"King Khan Mingjian, Huaidong is bound to become my great opponent of Dayan, and I can't help but be on guard," Nahe Xiongqi said, "The luxury family occupies Zhejiang and Fujian, and there is a possibility of sweeping Jiangnan." In March, Huaidong landed and attacked from eastern Zhejiang, although the luxury family lost not many soldiers in the battle of eastern Zhejiang, but they showed fatigue in the first battle, what is the reason? In fact, he punched Huaidong the waist and eyes, and suffered internal injuries! The Han people say that we must learn from the lessons of the past, and I Dayan must also learn from the lessons of others......"

Yezir motioned for Nakh Xiongqi to continue.

Nahe Xiongqi said: "...... Attack Qingzhou first. The Qingzhou army was weak, easy to ke, and after falling into Qingzhou, it took advantage of the situation to take Dengzhou. Although King Khan said that he had built a naval army in Jinzhou as early as possible, shipbuilding and fighting water battles were not the strengths of Dayan Nan'er, and the strength of the Jinzhou naval army was really limited. Dedeng Prefecture, capture Dengzhou Naval Army, water village, dock, shipyard, shipbuilding craftsmen, etc. are also readily available, and I Dayan can build a large-scale naval army according to Dengzhou. At the beginning, the Huaidong naval army was strong, and the Dengzhou naval army was weak, but from Dengzhou to the Jinzhou corner of the southeast tip of Liaoning, only two hundred miles of sea route, and countless large and small islands in the middle formed a chain...... After that, Shandong can be used as the foundation, westward to fight Henan, south to fight Jianghuai, the two are convenient. ”

"It's a good idea of both ways?" Ye Zier frowned and pondered Na He Xiongqi's words, and then asked, "Among the generals, you are the most diligent in reading Hanshu, but what is the reason for speaking today, especially Wen Xuan?" ”

"It's not that the old slave deceived the Khan King," Nahe Xiongqi said, "Qin Zitan, a staff member under the command of the governor of southern Zhejiang, had occasional correspondence with the old slave, and what Qin Zitan said most in his letters was the situation in Jianghuai. Some of the words are indeed true, and Huaidong's naval offensive tactics must be guarded against. Unknowingly, the old slave borrowed the words in the letter directly......"

"It seems that after the war in eastern Zhejiang, the luxury family has really hit the nail on the head." Yezier smiled lightly.
