Chapter 49 Feasibility of the Autumn Offensive
He Xi smiled bitterly and said, "It's easy to say that. Where are the soldiers now? The guards in Liaodong have been running around all the time this year. Even the grain production in Liaodong this year has been reduced. Now I only hope to harvest this crop of grain well. As for the other , I don’t even think about it anymore. Anyway, none of the Liaodong guards can move."
Lan Yu smiled slightly and said: "I can deploy one or two guards here. There is no need to deploy soldiers in Liaodong. There are still eight thousand manpower. Don't tell me what the quality of Shenyang's three guards is without Ye Wang. I still know."
He Xi also knew.
The Shenyang Three Guards are the army stationed in Shenyang and are the closest army to Ye Wang. He is a direct descendant of Ye Wang.
Perhaps a general who has experienced ups and downs has the habit of placing a capable army within his reach. An army that can fight. This is probably during the war, when generals usually keep a reserve team by their side. It is the most elite army.
This is true even in peacetime.
Coupled with the special situation of Liaodong.
We have to face a Tatar attack at any time. Ye Wang also immediately sent troops to respond.
When sending troops, you have to use the troops around you. That is, Shenyang Sanwei. Shenyang's three guards are Liaodong's top main force. Can't survive a tough battle. Not to mention, this year is just for garrisoning and deployment, there is no serious battle. Even if there is, this army cannot be said to be unable to be dispatched at this time.
However, this is also because the resources that Ming Dynasty invested in Liaodong were limited before. In addition, Liaodong itself is poor. Such an army can only afford three guards in Shenyang.
If the other guards are forced to transfer, the combat effectiveness cannot be guaranteed.
He Xi said: "After all, Goryeo is a country of ten thousand vehicles, with a population of millions. I am already worried about Ye Chen's dangerous plan. It is not appropriate for a mere 20,000 people to attack a country of ten thousand vehicles. Don't steal the chicken." If you lose a lot of rice, it is better to wait until next spring, and then take action before you are ready."
Lan Yu smiled slightly and said: "There is still an army that can be mobilized? There are many people, and we will take action and put them in Liaodong. Don't worry, I am not. Moreover, this army, use them now. They will definitely He stepped forward bravely and wanted to show off.”
He Xi secretly thought, "Where can there be such an army in Liaodong?" However, then his mind moved and what came to mind? Leaning forward, he said: "You are talking about -----"
Lan Yu said: "That's right, the five elite troops produced by Naha are the music divisions passed down by the Muhuali family from generation to generation. It is the right time to use them now."
He Xi stood up suddenly and said, "Not bad."
Lan Yu is right, Naha's core members are indeed difficult to arrange. Historically, the Naha Exodus Department was placed in Yunnan and became a part of the Yunnan Ming Army. It is conceivable why it was arranged so far away.
He Xi was also worried about this matter.
Now that I think about it, it is indeed a good idea.
Although there are more than 20,000 people. It has now been disarmed, but there is no shortage of ordnance in Liaodong. There are even surplus war horses due to the capture of previous battles. Can be re-armed immediately. Naha Chu and his son already had a residence in Nanjing. Naha Chu was the Marquis of Haixi, and Chahan was the son of the Marquis of Haixi, and became an attendant of the East Palace. That is to say, becoming the prince's team.
It can be said that Nahachu has already integrated into the Ming Dynasty, or he has tried hard to integrate into the Ming Dynasty. At this time, he definitely didn't want his old department to cause trouble.
As for the third son of Nahachu, his elder brother is the prince of Haixihou, and what about his future future? It’s hard to say. After all, it is a new environment in Daming. If in the Yuan Dynasty, just relying on the heel of their Muhuali family, they would become high officials in the future without doing anything.
After all, the most important thing in employing people in the Yuan Dynasty was a person's background and background. No matter what happens to the Han people, it is difficult for them to ascend to high positions. As long as the Mongolians are born well, they can rise to the top.
Therefore, Ha Cibuhua is also worried about his future.
He Xi felt that it would be difficult to handle Naha's core music department. And Naha brought out these people from the old department. Being in a place of suspicion, wouldn't it be worrying, not to mention that Naha has a family. They are not worried. Some people below cannot figure it out. If something happens and they are involved, wouldn't it be an unreasonable disaster?
It was just the right time to attack Korea.
These people may have some problems with fighting the Mongols, but there is no problem at all when fighting Goryeo. After all, for the Ming Dynasty, Goryeo was repeated, and for the Yuan Dynasty, how could Goryeo not be repeated? Goryeo swayed up and down, and neither did well in Ming Dynasty or Dayuan Dynasty.
Naha came out of the base, whether it was because of the Mongolian mentality or the mentality of the Ming Dynasty, there was no problem in attacking Goryeo.
There is even a psychological advantage. I feel that their beating Goryeo is like me beating my son. It’s not like Dayuan has never beaten him before.
Moreover, they felt at ease after fighting for the Ming Dynasty, and the court also transferred them away from the front line. The court was also relieved.
Count them all in one fell swoop. He Xi was really moved.
Before winter, it seemed that Korea could really be given a hard blow.
He Xi pondered for a while and said: "Two questions. The first question is, will Ha Ci Bu Hua agree? The second question is, is there really any progress in attacking Goryeo at this moment?"
Lan Yu said: "The first question is that you need to convince Ha Cibuhua, but I think it is not difficult." When Lan Yu said this, he paused slightly, and looking at He Xi's reaction, He Xi did not refute. After all, He Xi also felt that this matter was not difficult. Lan Yu continued, "As for the second thing, it's easier. Autumn is a good time to send troops. As long as you send troops quickly, many steps can be omitted. You can give the enemy food and supplies, with Ye Chen leading the way." , there will be no problem. Today's battle will also open the way for next year's war. It will weaken Goryeo. After all, Goryeo is also a country of ten thousand chariots, and Nanjing is also going to destroy the country. It is normal to fight for two or three years."
"Ye Chen is in Goryeo. Although the situation is unclear, there is no bad news yet. It shows how unbearable Goryeo's military power is. Under such circumstances, are you still worried about any problems? Furthermore, even if there are any problems , isn’t it true that we don’t have to spend money in front of you?”
He Xi could only say that Lan Yu was very cruel most of the time. As long as it is appropriate, he will not hesitate to use Ha Ci Buhua and other surrendered troops as cannon fodder.
However, He Xi was really moved by Lan Yu's suggestion.
Without further ado. He Xi immediately sent someone to invite Ha Ci Buhua.
He Xi originally wanted to take a detour, but Lan Yu didn't have such a hobby. He went straight to the point, explained the situation in front of him clearly, and finally said: "Ha Cibuhua, you don't have an official position in the Ming Dynasty yet, right? If you can do it well this time, I can't guarantee anything else. I will give you a commander immediately, There is no problem at all. What happens in the future depends on you."
"Think about it."
Ha Ci Buhua said without hesitation: "It is my blessing to be valued by Marquis Yongchang. I am willing to die for the Ming Dynasty and Marquis Yongchang."
He Xi and Lan Yu looked at each other and knew that the matter was half done.
Ha Cibuhua was thinking about how to gain a foothold in the Ming Dynasty at the moment, so he was naturally willing to have a chance to express himself. Although the Yuan Dynasty was now in decline, in the eyes of the people of the Yuan Dynasty, no one except the Ming Dynasty was worthy of a war. Goryeo was even more of a defeated general and a lackey in those days. This time, I almost grabbed the credit.
He Xi said: "In this case, without further delay, you go back immediately to select your troops. All arsenals here in Shenyang are open to you. On the first day of September, your troops must go to the west bank of the Yalu River. All arrangements will be coordinated by Ye Wang and Huang Zicheng .go quickly."
Ha Cibuhua went happily.
Lan Yu said: "It is essential to be on guard against others. I will leave some people to serve as supervisors under Ha Ci Buhua. I will leave the affairs in Liaodong to you. Lan Chixin and others who have arrived at Ding Liao Guard will meet I follow your orders. This time, I don’t need to do anything. I just need to defend the Uiju City opposite, and go south to give a little shock. When the ice and snow melt next year, you can lead the troops eastward. I will go straight to Ganghwa Island and fight. But it determines the universe."
After He Xi heard this, he suddenly felt that Lan Yu should not be underestimated. Lan Yu must ask He Xi to send troops this year. It was a false move to attract Goryeo's attention and ask Goryeo to put his troops on the northern land defense line so that he could directly attack Huanglong from the sea.
However, He Xi doesn't care about these achievements. Just finish this matter quickly. He immediately said: "Okay. I'll wait for next year to win."
