Chapter 841: A big game of chess
Returning to the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Jie sat firmly on the dragon chair, and the civil and military ministers stood on both sides one by one.
As for Ma Shiying, he and his henchmen have already been sent to the prison, and what awaits them must be to raid their homes and destroy their families, commit rebellions, and exterminate the nine clans, even if Zhu Jie wants to open the net, he is afraid that the ministers in the court will not agree, and it can only be said that he deserves it.
Of course, Zhang Xianzhong was imprisoned in the prison one step earlier than Ma Shiying, and last night, Zhang Xianzhong was taken to Nanjing City and directly put into the prison, but I am afraid that the two of them will go to Huangquan Road together.
"Your Majesty, now Zuo Liangyu, Zhang Xianzhong, and Ma Shiying have been exterminated by us one after another, and only Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu in Huguang are left.
Cha Bolt said in a deep voice.
Zhu Jie nodded, what he said was that Zhang Xianzhong had been captured alive, just relying on Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu, he was indeed a grasshopper after the autumn, and he couldn't beat it for a few days.
"Your Majesty, now that the overall situation in Jiangnan has been decided, do you think you need to send troops to reinforce the Central Plains?"
Li Yan asked, "Now there is news ahead, Azig led tens of thousands of elite reinforcements from Manchuria and has entered the territory of Shandong, and now all the state capitals in central and northern Shandong have fallen into the hands of the Manchurian Tartars again, and the soldiers are directly pointing at Caozhou and Yanzhou, and the ministers are afraid that Xu Yifan, Qin Mufeng, and Li Dingguo will not be able to support it......"
"It's just the end of the crossbow, don't worry!"
Zhu Jie sneered, "Forget about reinforcing the Central Plains, I want to give Manchuria a big game of chess, pass the decree to Qin Mufeng in Xuzhou, lead a thousand elites under his command to march north, and even Yuan Zongdi's Liu Fangliang's army is also in his hands, and Song Jiaxing's troops will defend the line of Caozhou and Yanzhou, as long as Caozhou and Yanzhou are held, it will be a miracle; The edict to Xu Yifan must ensure that the Yellow River defense line is in our hands, three months, no matter what, we must insist on three months! ”
Three months later, it's the height of summer, and three months later, it's autumn.
Zhu Jie stood up and said in a deep voice: "After half a year of war, the Manchurian Tatars suffered heavy casualties, and it is not easy for them to replenish the troops, even if they can quickly replenish the troops, with the economic strength of the Central Plains and Gyeonggi now, they do not have enough money and food to support more than 200,000 troops for a long time to fight, the longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it will be for us, wait, at the latest at the turn of spring and summer next year, we can clean up all the Manchurian Tatars!" ”
Li Yan and a few others glanced at each other, next spring, they can clean up the Manchurian Tartar? How can it be? Now the strength of the Manchurian Tartars is not much worse than that of the imperial court, especially the Manchurian Eight Banners, the combat power is strong, and the Tianwei Army can match the right town of Nanjing, and the Manchurian Tartars can be defeated in just a few months?
"Your Majesty, why is there a big chess game?"
Li Yan asked.
Zhu Jie pulled the map over and said: "You see, now the main force of the Qing army has been blocked in the Central Plains by our Tianwei Army and the two towns of Nanjing, making it difficult for them to cross the Lei Chi step; With the sea to the east and Shaanxi and Shanxi to the west, our next step is to make a detour from Shanxi to Shanxi and outflank the Manchurian Tartars! ”
"Outflanking the Manchurian Tartars?"
Li Yan smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, the current Li Dingguo only has one fourth town of the Tianwei Army, with a strength of only 20,000, and the north bank of the Yellow River is the West Route Army of Jierharang, although there are heavy casualties, but there are still 50,000 troops, Li Dingguo holds the Mengjin Ferry, there is no problem, but it is almost impossible to kill the Yellow River to surround the flank of the Qing army from Shaanxi or Shanxi, and the fourth town definitely does not have the strength to defeat the West Route Army of Jierharang......"
Zhu Jie said with a smile: "Li Dingguo can't do it, it doesn't mean that Sun Chuanting can't do it, now Baigu is in Jiujiang, defeating Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu is a matter of one or two months, now Zhang Xianzhong has been arrested, the news will soon spread to Huguang, when the time comes, the Great Western Army will have no leader, and the army will be in turmoil, how can it be Sun Chuanting's opponent?" What's more, Gao Jie and Zhong Yue are both fierce generals who have been enemies for a long time, and Huang Degong's Luzhou Town is known as the strongest military town in the south of the Yangtze River. Immediately sent a decree to Sun Chuanting, ordering him to attack Liu Wenxiu and Sun Kewang with all his might, and after seeing the rebels of the Great Western Army, the army did not have to return to the DPRK, and went straight into Shaanxi from Xiangyang, preparing to recover the entire territory of Shanxi! ”
Cha Xuan and the others were taken aback, and entered Shaanxi from the territory of Huguang to attack the back of the Jierharang West Route Army? This distance is not close, more than 1,000 miles, or even more than 2,000 miles, such a long distance, thousands of miles of attack, how to guarantee logistics? Gunpowder and ammunition can't be guaranteed in time......
"Your Majesty, this, if you enter Shaanxi, it's too risky, Inspector Sun will become a lone army, once you encounter a strong enemy in Shaanxi, how is it good, without any logistics supply, it may collapse at any time!"
Li Yan said urgently.
"Who says there is no logistical supply?"
Zhu Jie asked rhetorically: "Although Shaanxi is chaotic now, it is still in the hands of the imperial court after all, and others may be at a loss when they arrive in Shaanxi, but for Sun Chuantinglai, it is like a fish in water, don't forget, Sun Chuanting has served as the governor of Shaanxi in Shaanxi, the governor of the three sides, and for several years, he has outstanding prestige in Shaanxi, except for the late Hong Chengchou, no one can compare with him, the grain and grass are heavy, Sun Chuanting can be solved with a word!" ”
Everyone suddenly realized that they had forgotten about this stubble, Sun Chuanting was the governor of the three sides that year, and the elite under his command was called the Qin Army, which started from Shaanxi.
"Also, check the bolt, Zhenghang, the two of you will go all out to rectify the Beijing camp, there are still important tasks to be handed over to you in the future, and it is not an ordinary heavy task, give you two months, 20,000 new troops must have strong enough combat power, as for how to train is your business, in addition to the 20,000 new army, recruit 30,000 new troops again, strengthen training, even if this group of recruits even vomit blood for me, you have to grind out their combat power!"
"Heavy duty? What's the heavy lift? ”
Cha Zhu and Zhao Zhenghang were shocked and asked urgently.
"Are you interested, take our imperial sailors, go to sea from Songjiang Mansion, go straight to Bohai Bay, and dig out the Manchurian Tartars' nest for me?"
Zhu Jie laughed darkly.
Hiss......
Above the court, almost all the ministers gasped, this emperor really dared to think that he would directly attack the nest of the Manchurian Tatars!
