Chapter 104: Three-way March into AP.
Wu Gao is sitting in Japan, which seems useless. But in fact, Beijing has almost no troops in Goryeo and Japan at this moment. Therefore, it is not force that maintains these places, but Wu Gao's personal connections.
Moreover, Japan is an important source of raw materials for gunpowder and the source of gold and silver in Beijing. Both are particularly important.
Ping An is the general Zhu Xiongying keeps by his side.
It seemed useless, but in fact, Zhu Xiongying couldn't let Ping An leave. This will make them feel insecure.
This is also different from He Xi.
Now He Xi is almost not afraid of Zhu Xiongying's evil intentions, because He Xi knows very well that at this moment, He Xi is where the overall situation of Beijing lies.
He Xi is the core of the Communist Party. Without him, the current situation will fall apart. He Xi's status as the Dinghai Shenzhen in the world is unshakable.
Being shaken does no one any good.
It wasn't that Zhu Xiongying didn't want to seize power, but after weighing the pros and cons, he gave up after thinking about it. Because without He Xi, it would be difficult for anyone to sustain such a complicated situation.
However, Zhu Xiongying also had his mind set on paying attention to the young generals under Ha Ci Buhua.
He Xi had careful arrangements for Shandong, had naval superiority, and had several strong ports and cities. Fu Youde had no choice but to pull out the hard nails. It is difficult for Nanjing to have as strong a firepower advantage as Yulin.
Therefore, Fu Youde has a great plan, and it is difficult to find a solution when encountering these hard nails.
------
After He Xi and Zhu Xiongying came to an agreement, they immediately set off on the train and headed west.
It took about ten days to go over mountains and ridges from Beijing to Dongshengwei.
But when He Xi arrived at the frontline camp, Qu Neng was no longer in the camp. Because the war has begun.
He Xi understood one thing very well, that is, although there were three groups of troops sent out, in fact due to the message transmission, it was almost impossible to do it together, and it was useless to do it together.
Therefore, the order he gave Qu Neng was to let him choose the time to attack.
If Qu Neng feels like taking action, do it quickly. Let’s go to Ningxia first. Sweeping the Hetao area, and then moving westward, the troops were divided into two groups, starting from the north bank of the Yellow River and heading straight to Ningxia. The other way is from Yulin to the west, attacking Huamachi, and finally joining forces with Ningxia Wei.
It can be said to move like thunder.
Although Ningxia Wei has improved its preparations after the fall of Yulin. But in the face of a sudden offensive, some people can't resist it.
After all, many people think that the Northern Army should go south next.
Even before receiving the order, Qu Neng had this idea in mind, and all his preparations were brewing to go south and attack Guanzhong.
If it weren't for King Yan's strong request, this might be the next direction of the battle, but unfortunately, plans often fail to keep up with changes. Not only could the Northern Army fail to keep up with this change, but so could the Ningxia Guard.
Not to mention, the battle in Yulin shocked many people, including the people of Ningxia Wei. When many generals of the Ningxia Guard saw the Battle of Yulin, they were no less shocked than the soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty who saw the power of the returning artillery for the first time.
It was not that the Ming Dynasty did not have firearms before. But those firearms were nothing compared to today's artillery.
For these soldiers in Ningxia, there is not much difference between Nanjing and Beijing.
Facing the offensive of the Northern Army, one can imagine the fighting spirit of Ningxia soldiers. Therefore, Qu Neng's bold attack encountered little resistance.

The gate of Jiayu Gate burst open, King Yan took the lead, and the guard of Jiayu Gate knelt in the dust. King Yan galloped past without looking back.
Kung fu lies beyond poetry.
The same is true for King Yan. King Yan decided to capture Ganzhou and Suzhou. This effort also involved soldiers and horses. Very early on, King Yan ambush the chess pieces here. From the beginning, King Yan never thought of playing. So big. But the development of the situation was unexpectedly smooth. Only then did King Yan have other thoughts in his mind.
There are probably three reasons for this.
First, of course it was the influence of the Yulin Battle.
The Battle of Yulin shook the northwest greatly. It can be said that people's hearts are extremely fluctuating. That's why King Yan can easily activate it.
Second, it is the impact of logistics.
Since Nanjing understood Beijing's northwest strategy last year, it has increased investment in the northwest. But in detail, the investment in northwest China will be increased, but this investment will not be evenly distributed.
Instead, it focuses on Guanzhong, or the Shaanxi region.
Shaanxi is a top priority. But it did not reduce Gansu's material logistics. But there is a difference between reality and what is on paper. The biggest difference is that many transportation tasks cannot be completed in full.
What should I do if there is a vacancy when I arrive in Guanzhong?
Naturally, we have to find a way to make up for it. The most convenient thing is to misappropriate supplies from Gansu. After all, Gansu is the northwestmost part of the Ming Dynasty. The grain transported to Gansu has to be transported more than a thousand miles out of Guanzhong.
It consumes a lot of money and can be manipulated.
In addition, Guanzhong is so valued, I don’t know how many people are watching it. Once something goes wrong, pull out the carrot and bring out the mud. But in the remote areas of Gansu, if something goes wrong, who would know?
Therefore, Gansu's logistics supplies have actually been decreasing since the beginning of the war.
In fact, Gansu is not too short of these materials.
Although Gansu is arid and all cultivated land depends on snow water, compared with the Central Plains, agricultural conditions are too poor. But the family fortune Hongwu left behind was too solid. The Gansu local government is determined not to run out of food immediately just because military supplies in the rear are not in place.
But this situation also gave people at the top and bottom of the Gansu Guards Station more ideas. The war was about money and food, and the rear area could not even supply money and food.
The number of winners and losers is even more obvious.
Finally, there is the identity of King Yan.
In the dispute between the North and the South, many people cannot clearly see who wins and who loses. But one thing, many people have understood clearly, that is, the Yan Kingdom has become a general trend, and the Yan Kingdom can no longer be regarded as a mere vassal state.
With the current strength of Yan State, even if Nanjing pacifies the north, it will not do anything to Yan State.
After all, the Yan State can now be regarded as a powerful grassland regime. Maintaining patriarchal relations and living in harmony is the best option for the Ming Dynasty. No one understands the strength of Yan State better than these people in Gansu.
Therefore, when it is unclear who wins and who loses between the two sides, Yan State seems to be a place where it can protect itself, at least not willing to resist resolutely.
That’s how King Yan is doing today.

In Xining city.
Princess Ningguo dressed up Mei Yin again.
At this moment, Mei Yin did not wear a wide robe and long sleeves. But a suit of armor. Although Mei Yin's figure has gained some weight. But now that he is wearing armor, he does not look bulky, but naturally feels majestic.
Mei Yin sighed: "I never thought that I would one day wear armor again."
Mei Yin is also a disciple of the general. Naturally, the opportunity to wear armor has been indispensable since childhood. But later when the world was at peace, Zhu Yuanzhang trained his son-in-law more to let Mei Yin do some civil affairs rather than military affairs.
It seems that Mei Yin has not worn armor in such a formal way for a long time.
Princess Ning Guo paused her hands and said, "Is it necessary? Do you have to organize this excitement? If something happens to you, what will my family do?"
Originally, Mei Yin was hiding the secret from Princess Ning Guo, but now that it was time to launch the plan, it was no longer possible to hide it. Naturally, I told Princess Ningguo. Princess Ningguo could not understand Mei Yin's actions.
Mei Yin sighed, but did not analyze it carefully for Princess Ning Guo. She was no longer the emperor's daughter, but the emperor's aunt. It's the eldest princess.
The distance between them and the emperor made a big difference in the future status of the Mei family.
He did nothing, and the Mei family was naturally a member of the Ming Dynasty. What will happen to his son and grandson from then on?
People like Mei Yin don't like to take risks, but once they make up their mind, they are very decisive. Not transferable.
Mei Yin said: "Don't worry, this matter is very simple. Wait for three or five days.
In a few months, you can go to Beijing. By then at least my home will not be in a remote place like Xining. "
The few years of idle living in Xining have almost worn away Mei Yin's patience.
Or, when he loses power, he stays in Xining until he dies of old age. This is a situation that Mei Yin is determined not to accept.
The fear is greater than death itself.
What else did Princess Ning Guo want to say? Mei Yin Zhenjia put on her cloak. Then he strode away.
There is no review.
