Chapter 28 Nanjing Reaction
Jin Shengyu's letter arrived in Ye Chen's hands.
Ye Chen also had a headache after reading it.
Without him, the problem of Jin Shengyu is not just a problem of Jin Shengyu, but also a problem of many senior generals of the Northern Army. Many people are not used to the new command model, including Ye Chen.
After the military reform, command became more refined. When he reached Ye Chen's position, he had almost no intervention on the front line. He is more responsible for strategic issues. Specific battle command lies with the commanders of each army.
Unless there is a decisive battle like Hejian. Otherwise, it is unlikely that Ye Chen will take action.
He Xi had a special chat with Ye Chen about this issue.
Ye Chen is now more than just a general in the army. His future status in the court will be similar to Xu Da's current position. He must consider the construction of the army. Sooner or later, the position of Privy Councilor will belong to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen can no longer just think about winning the battle.
We should also consider cultivating some talents who can stand alone as generals.
It's just that some people use it and some people don't.
Jin Shengyu's future is not promising, and at most he will be a hereditary earl. Not even him, but probably the Tartar generals as well. It's not that the court intended to restrict, but that the Tatar generals might not be able to adapt to future wars, just like in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. It's not that the Ming court intended to be partial, but that some of the Tatar generals who surrendered were better than some of the generals in the defense.
Naturally, reuse is the same.
Ye Shensi thought about it and invited Wu Li, a veteran, to come over and ask him what he thought about the front line.
Wu Li read Jin Shengyu's report, pondered for a moment, and said, "Actually, the purpose of this battle is not to show virtue. In the opinion of the last general, there is nothing better than to send out another army and march westward directly along the Yellow River to show off virtue and Wei Hui." The government will take care of it, but how to deal with it is another matter."
Ye Chen said, "What do you think of Sheng Yong?"
Wu Li pondered for a moment, seeming to remember the bloody battle of Fuhe, and said: "Sheng Yong is a strong enemy, but he is just a strong enemy, and he is not invincible."
Ye Chen said: "In that case, I will do as you say. The third army will also be under your command. I don't ask much, just take Zhangde Weihui. As for the west of Taihang Mountain, I won't care about it for the time being."
Wu Li said: "I will obey your orders."
--------
Just as Ye Chen was preparing to increase his troops, Nanjing was also reacting to the Battle of Zhangde.
Zhu Yunwen paid special attention to the Battle of Zhangde. Without him, this represents the direct result of his coaching change. The result he wants is naturally a big victory, which can eventually be pushed back to Hebei. Of course, Zhu Yunwen also knows that this is impossible.
If a big victory doesn't work, then win small and let the Northern Army return without success.
it is also fine. It proved that the imperial court had recovered from the defeat in the Battle of Hejian, and it also proved that the defeat in Hejian was just a fluke.
However, when the war reached this point, Zhu Yunwen read one memorial after another.
Various intelligence came from all sides, and every move of Sheng Yong and Jin Shengyu was under Zhu Yunwen's attention. Although many generals around Zhu Yunwen spoke highly of Sheng Yong. But Zhu Yunwen didn't really believe it.
Without him, Zhu Yunwen also knew that he was not very knowledgeable in military matters and could be easily fooled.
He doesn't understand military affairs, but he understands maps. He watched Jin Shengyu go south step by step and hit the gate of Zhangde Mansion, and also watched Sheng Yong retreat step by step. Anything you say may be false. But the map can't be fake.
How could Zhu Yunwen believe in such a step-by-step victory?
In this case, when Zhu Yunwen said how powerful Sheng Yong was, his first reaction was whether this person had received money from others.
However, Zhu Yunwen did not have an attack immediately.
Because Zhu Yunwen also knew that having an attack was of no use. It's just a psychological penalty for the people here. It will be just as if it gradually becomes desolate in the future.
But he was eager to save the situation. After much thought, he decided that the only way was to ask Wei Guogong to immediately go on an expedition and go north to take charge. You don’t even need to go to the front line to command
In the golden autumn of October, the breeze is slightly cool, and the air is filled with the light fragrance of orange.
In front of a two-story brick house in Konoha Town, the scene was in full swing.
A middle-aged woman wearing a floral top and a woolen vest was sitting on a bamboo chair. She casually placed the enamel cup on the bench beside her and took a haze blue ticket handed to her. The ticket, his fingers skillfully picked up the collar of the big man on the ticket, and he looked at the sun. When he saw the head in the blank space that appeared in the light, he put the ticket at the bottom of the pile of change in his hand. Count out a few zero tickets and hand them to the person in front of you.
The man took it, counted it, carefully put the change in his trouser pocket, took out a pack of cigarettes from his coat pocket, took out one, took out a match and lit it, put it in his mouth, blew out a cloud of smoke, and squinted. He closed his eyes and smiled, "It's easy for you. Just collect the money. Look at your second sister's clothes being soaked with sweat from exhaustion."
The woman glanced to the right and saw a bloated woman in dark blue clothes shoveling coal into a basket with a shovel in front of a pile of coal that looked like a dark hill. There were streaks of tears on her face. Black, mixed with sweat, like ink smeared on inferior rice paper.
He snorted from his nose, "Why, you can't see it? Then go and help."
The man was immediately stunned and curled his lips, "That's your second sister, what does it have to do with me." After eating, are you in a hurry?
"Then why are you still looking for a sense of presence here?"
That person: "..."
ask for contempt.
Smoking cigarettes and carrying a load of coal, he left.
The woman snorted coldly.
The world is like this. When they see you in despair, everyone will want to step on you. If she hadn't been tougher, she would have been eaten to the bone by the people on this street.
Um.
Su Cuiyu was almost chewed until there was only a handful of bones left.
That's right.
This woman is Pei Yuhuan.
She has arrived in Konoha Town.
Su Cuiyu's femoral head necrosis has not yet become serious in the later stages, and she can barely walk with a limp, but not for too long. She nourishes it with her soul power, and combines it with some acupuncture techniques, and even goes to the shop to catch it herself. Taking the medicine internally and externally, a three-pronged approach, it won’t take long for you to be able to walk normally.
at the same time.
I paid a very "polite" visit to the three sisters-in-law.
The three of them are very reasonable.
Not only did he let her have a meal, but he also "stuffed" money into her before leaving. Although he said that it was not easy for the family to run out of money, ho
I guess it doesn't look good when the three aunts punch the two nephews. No, there is no concept of style at all. Why would you choose something that costs nothing?
Everyone is happy.
Later she started selling coal.
Every household in the countryside raised pigs and had to cook pig food. Coal was cheap and a load of coal could be used for a long time. It was a necessity of life in those days.
Made a lot of money.
Many people on the streets of Konoha Town said that it was the scumbag Zheng Hongkang who drove outside that gave her a good life and allowed her to have money to support her parents' family.
But she knew it.
Good days are her own creation.
The dog has a lot of friends to treat him to, and even if he has some money left over, it will only be enough for the family.
Speaking of which.
Pei Yuhuan couldn't help but sneer.
It was said that Su Cuiyu subsidized her mother's family, as if she had done something that was not allowed by God. The scumbag also subsidized his three sisters.
It's approaching noon.
The people on the street slowly dispersed.
Zheng Hongfang put down the shovel, wiped the sweat from his face, rubbed his sore arms, and walked to Pei Yuhuan, "No one is coming to buy coal. I'm going back first."
My mouth felt bitter and I didn't dare ask for a bowl of water.
If the fourth wife made a splash in the street, she wouldn't be able to handle it. It would be better to do less than to do more.
Thinking that the fourth child is also indifferent.
I've been gone for two years and I really don't care about my family at all.
, as long as we go north and take control, the situation in the north will immediately improve.
But his idea was repeatedly frustrated.
Zhu Yunwen once again sent Ding Xian to the Duke of Wei to supervise. And Ding Xian came back soon.
Zhu Yunwen said: "What did Wei Guogong say?"
Ding Xian said: "What Wei Guogong said, the current battle of Zhang De has nothing to do with the overall situation. If you really want to start a war, the army will go northward in the spring next year. Then it will be the time to fight. Now the battle of Zhang De, whether you win or lose, , are of no importance. Just let His Majesty sit back and watch, and Wei Guogong also said that Sheng Yong fought well, and the Northern Bandits may increase their troops. Even if he reaches the front line, it will be nothing more than that. "
"Please don't be anxious, Your Majesty. Keep it calm."
What Duke Guo Wei said is right.
Although Xu Da was forced to take the position, Xu Da has also been doing things during this period of time.
He knew one thing very clearly, that is, the biggest problem between the Southern Army and the Northern Army was not on the front line, but on the rear, the new army establishment and the new supply system.
If the reforms at the rear are not carried out well, even if things at the front are successful once or twice, they will definitely be defeated in the end.
Xu Da adhered to this idea and carried out drastic reforms in the rear. The system of the Jiangjing camp placed the five armies. The governor's office organized and trained five armies. These five armies were different from the military level organization in Beijing.
The five armies of the Five Armed Forces Governor's Mansion actually have their own jurisdictions. The Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army was originally the Privy Council. The five armies were divided by Zhu Yuanzhang to check and balance each other so that the army could not form a collective.
Each of the following capital divisions is affiliated with one of the five armies.
Now it is impossible for Xu Da to change the Governor's Office of the Five Armies into the Privy Council. This will make everyone in the world oppose it, whether they are civil servants or military generals.
The civilian officials objected because the military generals would become more powerful and it was difficult for the civilian officials to check and balance them. The military generals opposed it because there were too many interests. The five armies had been separated for such a long time, and each army had its own circle. Now Xu Da said If so, let the armies merge together.
Many people are not opposed to it, but the question is who will go up and who will go down?
Who annexes whom?
Even for Xu Da, this kind of reform that touches the soul and interests is not so easy to do.
Not to mention, there is Zhu Yunwen. He also didn't want to see the rise of a powerful military force. He wanted to continue Zhu Yuanzhang's idea of dividing and controlling.
As a result, Xu Da could only manage a small staff department under the commander-in-chief of the five armies, and each army had a small staff department. So as to experiment with Beijing’s approach. Not to mention that even in this case, everything is going crazy.
If it wasn't for Xu Da, it would have been overturned long ago.
But even Xu Da dissatisfied many people. It's just that they didn't dare to target Xu Da directly. Many people said to Zhu Yunwen that Xu Da was asked to take charge in the north due to the crisis on the front line.
Zhu Yunwen himself had this intention, and with the support of so many people, he immediately strengthened his inner thoughts and wanted Xu Da to go to the north to take charge.
This is also the drawback of the emperor. The emperor is also a human being, and people only want to hear what they want to hear, not what is correct.
In fact, Xu Da is right. Even in the current situation, there is no difference between Xu Da in the north and Nanjing.
Just as Ye Chen was not allowed to command the Zhangde Campaign on the first night, Xu Da's status in Nanjing was the same. After Xu Da went to the north, could he let Xu Da replace Sheng Yong to command the Zhangde Campaign? It was a joke.
Xu Da went to take command. What were Xu Da's group of generals going to do?
Not to mention, Xu Da has actually been idle for many years. Xu Da himself also knows that he has not commanded the battle for many years, and the current war has changed a lot from the war he commanded before. It is no longer the same. He temporarily took over the specific command,
If one is not done well, problems will arise.
He was famous all his life, but it was nothing if he paid it down. He is valued by many people and his reputation is too great. The problem is that he gave his reputation to Beijing all at once.
It will be even more detrimental to Nanjing.
Of course, Xu Da is also confident that he will never deviate from his roots. No matter how he changes, the essence of war will not change. He still has the confidence to command the generals.
The army won the victory, but Xu Da didn't pay attention to specific battles, such as the Battle of Zhangde.
He Hexi, like Ye Chen, thinks about problems from a larger and broader perspective and makes strategic decisions. Rather than intervening in a war.
Not to mention, in Xu Da's opinion, Sheng Yong played well, but if it had been anyone else, it would have been the same.
