"The battlefield in the north is also over!"
In the Qinghe camp, Wang Jing casually threw aside the military report sent by the partial division, his expression was calm, without any surprise or joy.
Because it's the right thing to do.
If Zhang Guiba was defeated by the enemy, this would shock Wang Jing.
Bu Zhi said with a smile: "It seems that Zhang Guiba already knows the purpose of sending people to supervise the king! If Zhang Guiba no longer holds back, he may be able to take control in the future!"
At this time in the camp.
In addition to Wang Jing and Bu Zhi, there were also Zhu Wu and Fan Yin.
As for Zhang Lin, Yang Kan, Fei Ju and others, they were all busy outside, either taking prisoners into custody or cleaning up the defeated troops in the surrounding wilderness.
"It's too early to be in charge! If Zhang Guiba doesn't change his mind, the one in charge will definitely interfere in political affairs in the future and regard himself as the governor of the late Tang Dynasty!
Wang Jing shook his head slightly.
Being a monarch is not easy. Many times it requires constant thinking, guarding against mistakes, and reservations while using ministers.
Bu Zhi smiled and did not answer.
This kind of thing is something that the monarch needs to consider. At most, he will remind him once or twice, but he cannot help the monarch make a decision.
After talking to everyone for a while.
Wang Jing suddenly said: "Do you think this king wants to move the base of the army to Qinghe?"
Bu Zhi and Zhu Wu's expressions changed slightly.
Bu Zhi immediately said: "Does your Majesty want to expand southward with Qinghe as the center?"
"That's right! The Qinghe River is the intersection of the Huaihe River and the Canal. It connects to Hongze in the west, Xuhuai in the north, the sea in the east, and the Yangtze River in the south. Based on this, we can rely on the navy to expand in all directions!"
"Especially to the south, you can go down the river, which will have a great advantage in capturing Gaoyou and Yangzhou!"
Wang Jing did not show off and directly expressed his thoughts.
The original strategy of the Huai Army was to regard Yang Xingmi as the imaginary enemy, and prepare to consolidate the foundation and sort out the internal affairs first. After accumulating sufficient strength, they would then advance by land and water and move eastwards.
But Wang Jing and the many civil and military personnel of the Huai Army did not expect that Yang Wu would be defeated so quickly.
can only say.
Yang Xingmi maintained his tradition and faced repeated defeats against the cavalry. In terms of military strategy, it is too far-reaching.
After Yang Wu, Hou Jing, and Pang Shigu were destroyed, a large area north of the Huaihe River and east of the canal became Wang Jing's bag.
This area belonged to Huai'an Prefecture during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The territory Wang Jing obtained was comparable to a province in the source world, equivalent to the entire area of Southern Zhili during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
With such a vast territory, it is naturally impossible for there to be only four million people under Wang Jing's command. At this time, Wang Jing only controlled Sihong, and there were still a large number of hidden people in the large territory of Huai'an.
Hundreds of millions of beings have descended in history, and there are at least tens of millions of people in Huai'an Prefecture. It may be because Hou Jing, Pang Shigu and Yang Xingmi have a bad reputation.
The three forces only gathered less than two million people.
There are also a large area east of Shuyang where most of the people live.
If this territory is managed well and all the people are registered, the potential will even exceed Sihong.
With such potential, Wang Jing will naturally not let it go.
When the development of this territory is completed, it will continuously provide Wang Jing with a large amount of food, grass, soldiers, and a large amount of sea salt...
Of course this is all for the future.
These matters can be left to the civilian officials under his command. The main point that Wang Jing is concerned about is the strategic situation that the Huai army will face after defeating Yang Xingmi.
After the sudden expansion of the territory, the Huai army was surrounded by Nanyan in Pizhou and large and small forces near Suqian to the north. This area was relatively chaotic and was still an important peripheral area of Xuzhou.
Wang Jing has no intention of going north to Xuzhou to compete with the heroes of the Central Plains.
The Central Plains has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. At this time, there are countless powerful overlords fighting here. Even in the land of Qingxu, there must be countless battles.
It is a quagmire that is difficult to get out of.
Directly west of the Huai Army is Lingbi, the Xiang Family Army with many elite soldiers and generals. To the southwest, in the upper reaches of the Huai River, is Fengyang, which was also Zhongli during the Southern and Northern Dynasties...
There have been many wars in the history of this place, which means there are also many military forces nearby...
The north and west sides are both difficult to deal with.
As for the east side of the Huai Army, according to the intelligence gathered by Yang Wu's army, there are all large and small forces east of the Qinghe River. It requires patient cleaning and compilation before it can be brought under control.
After capturing Qinghe, the large and small forces and people in the east have automatically become food for the Huai army, and they only need to be suppressed and digested.
They are not worthy of Wang Jingyan's preparation.
Only the south, Yangzhou Mansion south of the Huaihe River, is the important place that Wang Jing wants to focus on.
A long time ago, Wang Jing had discussed with Bu Zhi and Zhu Wu that they should continue to develop eastward, defeat Yang Xingmi, and then occupy Yangzhou.
Now Wang Jing is just bringing up old things again.
"It's okay to move to Qinghe! But Qinghe is not the best place to serve as a capital..."
Bu Zhao said.
Wang Jing's eyes flashed, he knew the unfinished meaning of Bu Zhi's words. There were only a few places in history that qualified as capitals.
Needless to say about the Central Plains and the North.
Those in the south that were once called capitals include Jiangling of the Chu State, Suzhou of the Wu State... and Jinling, which is known as the imperial state where dragons, pans, and tigers dominate!
Since Sun Quan established the capital in Jinling, Jinling has been an important place in the south, including the Eastern Wu, Eastern Jin, Song, Qi, Liang and Chen in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Yang and Wu in the Five Dynasties, Southern Tang, and the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
They all took Jinling as their capital.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty occupied Jinling. The monarch was Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao, and the generals included Li Wenzhong, Geng Bingwen, etc. The Ming Dynasty was founded nearly three hundred years ago.
In the past three hundred years, there have been countless famous ministers and generals. These are the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.
Although many of the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty may not necessarily join the Ming army again after their arrival, in addition to the founding heroes, there are also top famous officials and generals such as Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang.
Zhang Juzheng has the talent of a prime minister, and Qi Jiguang is excellent in training and fighting.
Although they are not ranked in the Confucian Temple and the Wu Temple, their reputation and ability are no worse than the famous officials and generals in the Confucian Temple and the Wu Temple.
Wang Jing's capture of Yangzhou meant that he was preparing to expand to the south.
Jinling is a city that must be captured!
Fortunately, Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang have not yet appeared in Jinling. At this time, the Ming army has not yet fully developed its terrifying potential.
There are also forces such as Chen Baxian, Xiao Daocheng, Huan Wen, and the Sun family of Soochow around Jinling.
Wang Jing still has a chance to capture Jinling.
"Well, we can build cities in Qingjiang and Shanyang opposite. As a temporary royal capital, the terrain here is pretty good..."
Zhu Wu said.
The capital city is the foundation of the dynasty, and Wang Jing is still far from becoming emperor at this time.
As a vassal king, you can temporarily build a city on Qingjiang River and use it as a royal city.
In China mainland, which has expanded its territory ten times, the Qingjiang River south of the Huaihe River is actually similar to Jinling. Jinling can radiate to the south of the Yangtze River, and the Qingjiang River can also radiate and influence the Jianghuai area.
