Chapter 439 Comprehensive layout
"These people claim to be from the primeval forests of Changbai Mountain and Heilongjiang, hehe," Chen Cao smiled, slightly mockingly: "They are used to enjoying good things, so I'm afraid they won't be able to go."
Chen Cao said again: "So, there is only one road for them, the desert..."
Huang Chunyao thought about it, raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have a bold hypothesis."
"speak..."
"The Tatars used a secret plan to trick Chen Cang and deliberately sent the Eight Banners bannermen back to Liaodong. However, I knew that there were many places in Liaodong that could enter the territory of Duoyan Sanwei. There were at least ten places in Guangning. Since Huang Taiji was in Beijing with us If they win the decisive battle, everything will be fine. Once they fail, they can retreat to Mongolia. At that time, the army and bannermen will enter the desert in batches and meet at one location."
Huang Chunyao's words directly reminded Chen Cao. Chen Cao nodded thoughtfully and said: "Yunsheng's words reminded me that there are many plains in Liaodong and cavalry can use them freely, but the Mongolian grassland is obviously more suitable for cavalry operations. I The coordination of infantry and cavalry used to be easily led by the Qing army;
If Ezhe of Chahar can obey, it is not impossible to make him a hereditary Mongolian prince Dangdang in the future, but it also depends on his choice. After all, we and the Qing army are still governed across the Yellow River from the north to the south, but this This situation cannot last forever. No action will be taken at the end of this year. After the beginning of next year, the war will be carried out simultaneously, striving to end the Qing army's rule of Beijing before the third year of Shengwu and take back the capital. "
"Hong Chengchou's army would have entered Shanxi by now if he had followed His Majesty's orders, but His Majesty's previous order was for the Shence Army to advance towards Zijingguan."
Chen Cao looked at Zou Weilian and said with a smile: "If the Shence Army is not allowed to advance to Zijingguan, but goes directly to Mongolia, won't this directly expose our strategic intentions to Huang Taiji? Instead, let him prepare in advance?"
Zou Weilian suddenly realized: "Your majesty is wise and has far-sighted ideas in Xuzhou. I am ashamed of myself."
"Forsightedness does not count, paralyzing the enemy is necessary. The Tianxiong Army allocated half of its troops to attack Zijingguan, and the remaining troops followed the Chahar Division. It can be considered a coordinated operation, but the premise is that E Zhe This boy completely surrendered;
In addition, as long as Chahar and Hong Chengchou act together, they can also take action in the direction of Zijingguan. After the action in Xuzhou, they will attack from three sides and cut off their retreat. It will be difficult for Huang Taiji not to die. "
"Your Majesty the Holy Ming..."
Chen Cao did not get up, and his wound was a little painful, so he said: "Everyone please do your own thing and retreat..."
Xin Zhao did not leave. After everyone left, Chen Cao asked: "For important matters, there must be spies in Nanjing in the north, otherwise the Zhou family would not be able to assassinate me."
Xin Zhao held up his hands: "Your Majesty, what news does the Zhou Family possibly know?"
Chen Cao nodded first, then shook his head: "She has been under guard since the coup failed. Unless there is a traitor in your Jinyi Guards, there is no way she can get any news in Qingyuan Palace."
Zhao Xin noticed that Chen Cao was staring at him when he said this. He was so frightened that he quickly bowed and said, "I will conduct an inventory after I get back."
"Take a good look at the Jin Yiwei personnel who fled from the north to the south. They are the focus. This incident reminds me not to be careless. If Nanjing City is closed for arrest, I am worried that these people will take advantage of the chaos and escape."
Xin Zhao raised his head: "Your Majesty, do you want to capture him alive?"
Chen Cao nodded: "If you can catch anyone alive, I will be of great use. In addition, I need you to do something."
"Your Majesty, please tell me that those who surrendered, such as Zhou Kui, are not allowed to stay."
Xin Zhao paused for a long time to react, took a deep breath and clasped his fists: "For the sake of the emperor, I will definitely handle this matter, but I need assistance from Dongchang."
"I don't care about Gao Chong's relationship with you, but you have to handle things well."
"yes..."
Chen Cao was recuperating in the harem for fifteen days. During this period, except for some important matters, he did not appear in the Qianqing Palace once. He stayed in the Queen Li Xiang Palace to recuperate until the military doctor personally removed the sutures for Chen Cao. Chen Cao gritted his teeth deeply. Inhaling, Li Xiang was so scared that he quickly grabbed his hand.
After the stitches were removed, Chen Cao felt that the tightness in his abdomen disappeared. He stood up and moved around. He immediately felt that he was alive and well. Then, regardless of Li Xiang's objection, he tore off her clothes in front of Li Xiang's confidant, which scared this person. The grandma, who was only in her thirties, ran out of the palace with a red face.
Feeling refreshed after having a chat with the Queen, Chen Cao immediately summoned Zhao Xin, put on a dark yellow drag suit, turned straight into West Chang'an Street, and faced the sign with the name 'Nanjing Garrison Headquarters' hanging on it. Step through the door.
Zhang Fengnian didn't know about Chen Cao's arrival and was still checking documents in the commander's office. It wasn't until Chen Cao and Zhao Xin stepped in one after another that he looked up and discovered that the emperor had arrived.
"His Majesty..."
Zhang Fengnian stood up and stood upright in his position, and then did not forget to salute.
After Chen Cao responded lazily, he sat down on the main seat. Zhang Fengnian stepped back and stood with Zhao Xin: "Your Majesty came incognito, I am a little at a loss."
Chen Cao looked at the documents he was dealing with and raised his head after a long time: "From a fair perspective, Liu Yucheng, what do you think?"
After Zhang Fengnian heard this, he still stood upright: "Since the establishment of the garrison headquarters, Liu Yucheng has made many achievements, and he has made fair commitments in the management and training of sergeants. No one in the 1st Division reported him."
"What do you think about personal ethics?"
Zhang Fengnian looked at Chen Cao and found that he was asking seriously, so he raised his head and said: "I didn't know much about Liu Yucheng before Xiaolin Wei adapted it, but there are many rumors. I was born in your Majesty's personal guard and was influenced by your Majesty a lot. In addition, after studying in Huangpu, I deeply feel that it is not the parties involved who never make speculations."
Chen Cao looked at Xin Zhao, then chuckled and said: "You kid, you are interesting, but you are cautious and think that I am messing with you? Fengnian, stop pretending to be a narrative and relax."
When Zhang Fengnian heard this, he immediately relaxed and did not stand up straight. He said with a smile: "I know what Liu Yucheng did back then, but since he went to the Qingpu training ground for training, he has become quite prominent among the garrison troops. To be honest, besides, the current salary of sergeants is directly distributed by the Logistics Department and will never go to the hands of the army commander. Even if he wants to be greedy, he can't find a way."
Zhang Fengnian said some useless words, but Chen Cao heard clearly. What he meant was that Liu Yucheng was still feasible now.
Chen Cao thought about it, then nodded as if it was serious, and then asked: "Where are my subordinates? Why don't I put it more bluntly, can this person be used again?"
Zhang Fengnian said: "Your Majesty must have complained about this matter in his heart for a long time. What I can say will at most give His Majesty a reference. But from a fair point of view, Nanjing is the capital of the country at the moment, and such a big thing has happened in the garrison. If he stays here any longer, It’s no longer an appropriate arrangement here.”
Chen Cao laughed and then nodded: "Zhao Xin, did you see that Feng Nian is no less slick than you?"
Xin Zhao chuckled: "I can't learn what Lao Zhang is capable of."
After changing the subject, Chen Cao turned serious after making a joke. After Zhang Fengnian checked, he immediately stood at attention and held his head high.
"The Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Military Region of Qiongzhou Province has just submitted a list of projects to be established. I also recognized Liu Yucheng's side at that time. I am not the kind of person like Lao Zhu. After the world is settled, he is good at killing heroes. Besides, he is also For Zhu Yunwen's sake, I am not here;
Qiongzhou is newly built and has a lot of native people. These ethnic minority people need to be well disciplined. It’s not a bad place. If it is developed vigorously, it will be a good place for leisure and retirement in the future..."
Liu Yucheng's mansion is not far from the water bridge outside Tongji Gate. It occupies a large area and is considered a good place. When a large number of royal guards appeared outside the mansion, the housekeeper was scared to death, knowing that his family's The master must have been unable to escape this disaster. He immediately knelt on the ground with his face on the ground and did not dare to raise his head.
When Chen Cao passed by, he stopped in front of the housekeeper, and then said to Zhao Xin in a cold voice: "Go and inform the people in Yingtian Mansion to arrest the person who violated my 'kneeling ceremony' and deal with him as you please."
"It's Your Majesty..."
The housekeeper cried loudly. He really didn't expect that kneeling before would actually become a disaster here.
Liu Yucheng had known the news a long time ago and was currently in the back hall dejectedly explaining the funeral arrangements to his family members: "After I die, remember to transport my body back to my hometown for burial."
"Why, Nanjing, a geomantic treasure land, still can't bury you, Liu Yucheng?"
Chen Cao strode into the back hall, glanced at Liu Yucheng's family circle, and then sat down directly on the main seat.
Liu Yucheng and his family were about to kneel down when Zhao Xin, who was passing by, stopped and said, "Why, we just notified the people from Yingtian Mansion to come to your house to arrest the guy who violated His Majesty's 'kneeling ceremony'. Mr. Liu, you will also be punished." Can’t we add one more?”
After hearing this, Liu Yucheng remembered what had happened, and then asked his family members to bow and salute. After he finished, he took a deep breath, strode to Chen Cao, stood at attention and saluted: "The guilty minister is here to see your majesty..."
Chen Cao said with a smile: "Liu Yucheng, what did you commit? Could it be that you embezzled military pay? That's not right. Bei Tianhua doesn't have the courage to collude with you."
Liu Yucheng didn't know what was going on, but he was a veteran after all. When he heard that Chen Cao did not follow his words, but asked him this way, he immediately knew that he was fine, so he raised his head with great joy and said: "Go back to your majesty, I dare not Embezzling military pay.”
"Just don't dare..." Chen Cao picked up the teacup: "Why, are you really involved in the coup?"
Liu Yucheng said sternly: "Your Majesty, I am indeed unjust. I don't know anything about this matter."
Chen Cao was silent for a long time, just staring at Liu Yucheng who held his head high. Seeing the righteousness on his face, he smiled and nodded: "It seems that those people's words are false, and I don't believe them. Back then, you dared to follow me for the sake of your future." Damn it, I don’t believe you would do such stupid things.”
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."
