In the palace hall of Jinling, only Zhu Yuanzhang's voice could be heard, while other civil and military officials fell into shock and silence.
Regarding the current situation of the Ming army, it would be a good idea for a strong man to cut off his wrists and abandon some unimportant things to shrink the defense line.
But Zhu Yuanzhang's behavior was no longer like cutting off a strong man's wrist, but more like cutting him in half.
Abandoning Jurong and Jinling means that the Ming army fell directly from the powerful force in the south and became a force similar to the Eastern Jin and Liu Song.
Only Zhu Yuanzhang dared to make such a determination.
"Your Majesty will go south in person, and you will definitely be able to recapture Gaochun!"
At this time, Qi Jiguang also reacted. Echoed.
He found that Zhu Yuanzhang's decision was the only way to keep the Ming Dynasty alive at the moment. If he still stationed troops in Jinling, he would divide the main force into Jurong and Dangtu.
Then the Ming Dynasty can only trap Jinling and wait for the elite of Xia army to launch another surprise attack on Dangtu or Jinling from Gaochun.
In that case, Ming Dynasty would really be in dire straits.
Now Zhu Yuanzhang has abandoned Jurong's more than 200,000 troops. Although it is a pity, in the world of China, the most important thing for a force is the ninth-level strong man.
As long as generals such as Xu Da, Yu Dayou, Guo Ying, and Geng Bingwen did not die in battle, the Ming army could accept the loss of more than 200,000 troops and horses.
It is easy to get a thousand armies but hard to find a general.
This sentence has gradually become a wise saying in the Chinese world.
Training can continue after the soldiers and horses are gone, but after a ninth-level general dies in battle, it is not that easy to recruit or train a ninth-level strong man.
After all the ninth-level famous generals in the original history arrived, such strong men became strategic weapons that could kill one by one.
After all, if the creatures born in the world of China want to transform to the ninth level, without the blessings and blessings when the world was just born, I don't know how long it will take.
No matter how vast the world of China is, and it nourishes hundreds of millions of living beings, there will not be too many living beings of the ninth level. _o_m
After abandoning Jurong, Jinling had no defense in front of the Xia army, so it had to be abandoned.
Without the encumbrances of the two places, Zhu Yuanzhang could gather his ninth rank and the remaining elites, use Gaochun as the northern line of defense, and transfer the basic core to Xuancheng.
In this case, Zhu Yuanzhang only needed to defend Dangtu, and he could use the original territory of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to seize time to recover.
As for where Ming will go after regaining some vitality...
Zhu Yuanzhang already has some ideas in his mind, but there is no need to tell everyone now.
After Qi Jiguang came to his senses, Yang Shiqi, Zhang Huangyan, Zhu Biao and others were also outstanding people, and they quickly understood the role of Zhu Yuanzhang's decision.
"It would be great if His Majesty Chongzhen could be as decisive as Taizu during the Chongzhen period of the original world... If he had given up the north in time and moved the capital to Nanjing, the power of the Ming Dynasty would not have been cut off so quickly!"
Zhang Huangyan inexplicably thought of the world before he came.
In the last years of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, the situation encountered by Emperor Chongzhen was very similar to the current situation. The capital city is under threat, the strategic situation is extremely bad, and ordinary means cannot save it.
The only way is for the strong man to cut off his arms and abandon the north directly.
After Zhu Yuanzhang made his decision, he did not give his subordinates a chance to object. Of course, they would not object after they figured it out.
Time is running out.
Guo Xing quickly left Jinling after receiving the order.
Zhu Biaoye, Yang Shiqi and others seized the time to mobilize supplies and first transported the grain and grass supplies accumulated in Jinling to Moling Pass along the waterway.
The actions of the Ming army frightened many wealthy businessmen and gentry in Jinling City, and they were trying every means to find out the news.
The spies of the Military Intelligence Department hiding in Jinling are also constantly operating secretly.
However, at this time, the Ming Army's Jin Yiwei began to act unabashedly, dispatching most of their troops to arrest anyone who made any move in the city, whether they were wealthy businessmen who wanted to find out information or spies from the Military Intelligence Department. torture.
This kind of blockade can last at least three or four days.
This made it impossible for Daxia to find out any news about Jinling during this period.
at the same time.
Wang Jing has already led tens of thousands of personal guards to the Jurong front line. .
"Your Majesty, this is Danyang!"
During the march, in addition to Gao Xi and Zhang Juzheng, Gu Yong, the chief envoy of Zhenjiang Province, also followed the army to obey orders.
He explained the current situation in Zhenjiang Province beside Wang Jing.
Zhenjiang Province was the original territory of Liu Song and Southern Qi. After the two places were merged into one, the area was the same as that of Jiangdong Province, but the population here is very dense.
After experiencing successive wars, the population density still catches up with Jiangdu Province and Huaibei Province.
With the support of sufficient manpower, the prefectures and counties east of Danyang quickly recovered their vitality. Under the arrangement of the government, they opened up farmland and repaired roads. Their popularity was visibly restored and they became lively.
Danyang is the base camp of Zhenjiang Tour Camp.
Before Fu Youde sent troops, three to four hundred thousand soldiers and horses were stationed in Danyang, which required a large amount of supplies every day.
It was not cost-effective to transport many supplies from Yangzhou, so merchants and people in Danyang were asked to provide them on their behalf.
A large amount of gold and silver coins flowed out, as well as a large amount of military supplies, allowing Danyang to regain its vitality in a very short period of time.
When Wang Jing entered Danyang, he saw that the capital of Liu Song Dynasty was as lively as Yangzhou.
As for the small towns to the west of Danyang, because they are close to the front line, various government measures cannot be implemented for the time being, so the west side is still in a state of desolation after the war.
Many people from various small towns in the west chose to go to Danyang with their families.
When Jurong is captured, the land west of Danyang will be developed.
"Not bad. Yuan Tan was able to restore Danyang's vitality in such a short period of time. It took a lot of effort!"
Wang Jing praised.
Gu Yong said quickly: "I dare not take credit. Before I performed my duties, General Fu also did a lot of things. The credit is still greater than that of me!"
After entering Danyang.
Wang Jing withdrew his observation gaze, and Zhang Juzheng, who had been waiting beside him, immediately sent important information sent from various places by the Military Intelligence Department.
Fan Yin, the head of the Military Intelligence Department, is not very strong.
But he has absorbed a lot of experience these days and has become a qualified spy leader. He can feel what information is important and what information is not important at a glance.
"He Ruobi stormed Dangtu, lost to Chang Yuchun, and only teamed up with Yang Kan to hold him back... Chang Shiwan, who is known for his bravery, is indeed the best! Based on his personal strength alone, he is considered the best!"
What Wang Jing first saw was the fighting situation in Dangtu.
After he got the news that Gao Chun had been captured, he ordered the two major camps to conduct a storm.
He Ruobi obviously did not dare to violate his military orders.
Under the forceful attack, even the elite Xia army lost a lot of soldiers and horses, but these casualties have now become a number in Wang Jing's eyes.
Sometimes, when people sit in a certain position, what they consider is no longer the individual's joys and sorrows.
Behind these soldiers are families...
But what Wang Jing is thinking about right now is the entire new Great Xia Dynasty, not each family.
What he can do is to provide pensions and rewards for these casualties. The military land given to them will allow their families to survive and continue in the world of China.
Wang Jing's attention was focused on the fight between He Ruobi and Chang Yuchun.
Chang Yuchun was not a subordinate of Zhu Yuanzhang in history, and his qualifications in the Ming army were not even as good as those of Fei Ju and others. However, after he defected to Zhu Yuanzhang, he successively made countless contributions.
During the war, he often took the lead, rushing left and right as if he was in an uninhabited country. Zhu Yuanzhang praised him as a famous general in ancient times, but he was the best.
If you were to rank the mightiest players in history.
Chang Yuchun may not be as good as non-human beings such as Xiang Yu, Lu Bu, and Li Cunxiao, and cannot be ranked in the top ten, but he is still qualified for being ranked around twenty.
And Shi Wansui, known as the most powerful general in the Sui Dynasty, could not even be ranked in the top twenty.
He Ruobi is not as brave as Shi Wansui, so it is normal that he cannot defeat Chang Yuchun.
However, although the strength of a ninth-level general on the battlefield is important, it cannot determine everything. No matter how strong Chang Yuchun is, he will eventually be unable to defeat four hands with one fist.
If you can block four hands, what about six hands?
Among the Xia troops on the Lujiang River,
In addition to He Ruobi and Yang Kan, Wang Jing also sent Zhang Hao and Lu Meng!
Zhang Hao and Lu Meng took advantage of Chang Yuchun being held back and led their men to sink most of the warships of Tu Ming's army...
Although the Dangtu Camp was not completely captured.
However, the soldiers and horses camped in Lujiang were able to detach a part of the warships to keep an eye on Dangtu, and detach another navy to go down the river and launch an attack on Dasheng Pass.
After Wang Jing read the information, he handed it to Gao Xi.
"When the navy of Tu Ming's army is almost destroyed, our army has won a great victory. In this way, it will be just around the corner to break through the Great Victory Pass and seize Jinling!"
Gao Xi looked happy.
Wang Jing nodded slightly and said: "He Ruobi did a good job, but before the Dangtu camp is breached, it is better not to divide the troops in the Lujiang camp!"
"When Tu has Chang Yuchun, Jinling and Zhu Yuanzhang are in charge, both of them are not ordinary people. If they divide their forces, they will expose their flaws and give the other party the opportunity to make a key attack!"
"Since our army is sure of victory, there is no need to take risks. Even if the chance is very small, don't do it!"
This time he attacked the Ming army, and Wang Jing won a sure victory.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun rose up from the bottom. They have experienced countless dangerous battles, and their sense of smell on the battlefield is beyond ordinary people's imagination.
When Wang Jing got Zhao Yun's battlefield sense of smell, he was able to use this sense of smell to see through some battlefield fog.
When charging into the battle, it was as if a sharp blade was tearing through tissue paper, killing generals and seizing the flag, defeating the strong with the weak, and performing the task with ease and ease.
If Zhu Yuanzhang and Chang Yuchun were replaced by Wang Jing, I believe they would only do better.
With this awareness, Wang Jing only used regular soldiers on the frontal battlefield.
It relies on powerful military generals, elite soldiers, frontal advancement and suppression, and the use of majestic formations so that Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, and Chang Yuchun, the top military commanders and generals in history, can only confront him head-on.
In a head-on confrontation, Xia Jun had the upper hand.
On the contrary, if Xia Jun takes the initiative to divide his troops and show off his operations, he may be overturned by the opponent.
"Your Majesty's wishes, I will pass them on to Manager He!" Gao Xi's mouth trembled slightly and he raised his hands to show his understanding.
Fu Youde and He Ruobi are both top famous generals in history. With them on the front line, they have a clear advantage. Even if the troops are divided, there will not be many flaws...
However, since Wang Jing gave the order, he and the generals Fu and He had no choice but to obey.
On a strategic level, Wang Jing's words are the highest order.
Actually.
Wang Jing's worries are not useless. Zhu Yuanzhang has been staying in Jinling. In addition to sitting in Jinling, he is constantly observing Xia Jun in the direction of Dangtu and Jurong. @
I want to observe two flaws and loopholes in Xia Jun. Then he personally led the troops to defeat one of the troops and weakened the morale of the Xia army.
It's a pity that Wang Jing gave the order, and the armies from the two places condensed into one, with almost no flaws.
Let Zhu Yuanzhang's plan fail immediately.
"Your Majesty, this is the memorial sent by General Wei Rui!"
At this time, a civil servant came quickly and handed a memorial to Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng took one look at it and immediately stepped forward.
Wang Jing was interrupted as he continued to read the information from the Military Intelligence Department.
"Um?"
Wang Jing immediately took over. Wei Rui was now the chief general of Changxing, with 200,000 elite Xia troops facing off against the 500,000 Southern Song army.
After fighting against the vanguard of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Song army went north to approach Changxing and launched a strong attack on Changxing.
The intensity of the siege was more intense than that of Jurong and Dangtu.
Every day, a large number of Song soldiers fell under the city wall. However, the lost soldiers were only minor losses and nothing at all to the Song army, which numbered 500,000.
Dangtu, Jurong, Gaochun, Changxing, Jiaxing... from west to east, half of Jiangnan was caught in the flames of war.
However, the place caught in the war only affected the surrounding areas and did not spread further.
The Song Army took the initiative to attack, but the country was only slightly nervous and relatively calm.
Xia Jun is the dominant side. There are some fluctuations in Danyang, Suzhou and other places, but the impact is not big.
The worst offender is naturally the Ming army!
If the Song army can no longer break out.
After Changxing was defeated and the Ming army collapsed, it would be the Southern Song Dynasty's turn to be unlucky.
Obviously, the Song Army also got the news of Gaochun's fall. The head coach of the Song Army knew the importance and began to use all his strength...
"Let me send warships and the troops left behind in Wuxi to cross Taihu Lake, penetrate the Song army's back path, and attack Huzhou?"
Wang Jing pondered slightly.
Gao Ying's eyes lit up and he said: "General Wei's grasp of the battle situation is indeed accurate! Now the Song army is impatient and is attacking Changxing with its main force. At this time, our army crosses Taihu Lake and attacks Huzhou, which can pose a great threat to the main force of the Song army. ..."
"The two groups of soldiers and horses at the front and rear are conducting a pincer offensive. The Song Army's commander certainly does not dare to be careless. Even if he cannot capture Huzhou, the Song Army will not dare to garrison all the troops and horses in Changxing... In fact, even if Changxing is lost, the Song Army will not be careless. I just don’t dare to go north!”
Wei Rui's plan is very simple, and it's not subtle when spoken.
However, the grasp of the battle situation and timing is very accurate, and he can also plan the overall strategy.
Wang Jing thought for a moment and naturally would not refuse the other party's suggestion. @·No mistake first~~
"Transmit my order to appoint Lin Renzhao as the general of Fujun, with Tan Daoji and Gan Ning as deputy generals, and lead one hundred thousand waterway troops across Taihu Lake to attack Huzhou... After Lin Renzhao's troops went south, they followed Wei Rui's orders..."
Lin Renzhao has high qualifications, but his potential can no longer be compared with more and more top players.
Even worse than Wei Rui.
As the leader of the Nanliang Clan, Wei Rui's official title was not as good as that of Lin Renzhao, but Lin Renzhao had to obey military orders.
