Chapter 237: Seizure of power
"That's your plan?" Zhu Youxiao looked at the thick stack of paper in front of him, opened it and looked at it, the plan was written in great detail, analyzing the current situation of his own scattered recruitment of new soldiers, analyzing the advantages and combat effectiveness of the other party, and finally came to the conclusion that he could win, and the method was to fight steadily and steadily, step by step. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Of course, this is only a theory, and there are more specific details later, how to advance the troops, where to break through, where to attack, what to guard against, where to pay attention, with the concerted efforts of more than 20 staff officers, all aspects have been taken into account.
"Very good, very good." Zhu Youxiao put down the plan with satisfaction, crossed his fingers, and looked at Xu Wen who was standing in front of him with his head propped up, "However, I am more concerned about the process of making this plan, I don't know if it has been recorded?" ”
"Process?" Xu Wen was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know why, "It's all recorded, there are meeting minutes." ”
"That's good, sort out and summarize the minutes of this meeting, and then send them to the internal government for printing, and the staff departments at all levels will send out more than a dozen copies, so that they can study hard." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile, which made Xu Wen suddenly surprised.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll go back and sort it out." Xu Wen only felt that a large piece of pie fell from the sky, who in the entire army didn't know, the only teaching material was the infantry drill code compiled by His Majesty, but he didn't expect that today's little experience could also enjoy this kind of treatment.
"Go ahead!" Zhu Youxiao smiled and nodded, and after Xu Wen went out, he picked up the plan again and looked at it carefully.
"Sooner rather than later, we can send troops." After a long time, Zhu Youxiao put down the plan and left here.
Subsequently, one after another official documents stamped with the seal of the Metropolitan Governor's Office were issued and conveyed to the hands of officers at all levels. The officer, who received the order, immediately began to act according to the command.
Under the order of Zhu Youxiao, the Yulin army was divided into three, with Li Yuyu as the main general, leading 10,000 people, going through Heluoguanzhong, and entering Shu through Hanzhong to quell the rebellion. Another 10,000 people, led by Li Tao, traveled from Hebei, went to Shandong, and went south along the canal to quell the rebellion.
As for the remaining less than 10,000 people, all of them served as instructors, and opened a huge training base for recruits, and conducted unified training for the recruited soldiers, with the General Training Department presiding over the training, and it was time for the four headquarters to start accumulating work experience, and this rebellion happened to be a good opportunity.
The composition of the two troops of Li Tao and Li Yuyu was about the same, 4,000 cuirassiers, 3,000 musketeers, 1,000 cavalry, 1,000 artillerymen, and 1,000 logistics troops, totaling 10,000 men. The difference between the two is only in the weapons in the hands of the musketeers, Li Yuyu still uses the old Apocalypse rifle with hoops, while Li Tao uses the refreshing forged boring Apocalypse II rifle, which is not only lighter, but also has a longer range.
As for the others, there is no difference, they are all the same, they are divided into two and taken away, and the excess is left behind and served as an instructor for Li Tao. However, coincidentally, neither of them brought three-pound guns, and the artillery weapons were all six-pound guns.
On May 25, after the oath was completed, Li Tao and Li Yuyu marched separately and marched towards their respective goals.
At this time, a conference was also going on in Nanjing City, and the venue of the conference was the Wei State Mansion. The presiding officers of the meeting were the two chief and deputy commanders-in-chief of the rebel coalition forces, and the participants were local forces from all over the country who rushed to join the rebel coalition forces.
The theme of the conference is to announce to the world that the rebel coalition army was established, and the next step is to rely on the Yangtze River to temporarily hold Nanjing, and then organize soldiers and horses, go north to rebel, overthrow the rule of the puppet emperor Zhu Youxiao, and support the first emperor to appoint the heir, and the fifth son of the emperor Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne.
Obviously, this is a very reliable military program, the empire's fleet has just been destroyed, it is difficult to gather a fleet in a short time, and without a fleet, the wide river is Wang Siyuan's world, Zhu Youxiao can only sigh across the river, there is no way to take Nanjing City.
Then, after organizing and training the army, after being well-trained, he first destroyed Yu Shigao, who was stationed in Ningbo, captured the whole of Zhejiang, and then used this anointed land as the foundation to cross the river and go on a northern expedition.
In general, this is a very feasible plan, and if the rebel coalition forces, which temporarily occupy the advantage of sea power, can give full play to their own advantages, there may be even the slightest possibility that Zhu Youxiao will be overthrown.
However, unfortunately, many times, it is not necessary to be able to go along with the right one, and sometimes there are factors of interest to consider.
No, as soon as Wang Siyuan finished reading out the program, some people in the combined army directly stood up to oppose it.
"You can't defend Nanjing, you should intercept the puppet emperor's army in the north of the Yangtze River, defeat it in one fell swoop, and then go on a northern expedition." The Xu family in Huating was the first to stand up and oppose it, for no other reason, because a lot of his family's land was in Jiangbei, if they didn't snipe in Jiangbei, but all of them hid in Jiangnan, their family's property would inevitably fall into the hands of the emperor, and whether it would be nationalized or turned into an imperial village would be unacceptable to the Xu family.
Therefore, after the outline was read out, they were the first to take the lead in opposing it.
"Yes, yes, there are so many of us, all of them add up to almost 100,000, and they will be killed in heaps." One of them stood up and chimed in, not knowing which family it belonged to.
"Yes, there are so many of us, what are we afraid of, the Yulin Army only has a total of 30,000 people, and we have fought with the Jurchens once before, and the number of people on our side is three or four times that of the other party, how can we lose." A chubby guy stood up and was huge, looking at the silk and satin all kinds of jade accessories all over his body, he was obviously rich.
A few consistent voices made the corners of Wang Siyuan's mouth twitch, he really wanted to pull the ears of this group of guys and yell, this is a war, it is a battle between the two armies, not Nima's business, and the result can be obtained by a simple quantitative comparison.
"100,000 people, drown them with spit, why are you still cowering in Nanjing." Such remarks are rampant, and they continue to erupt from the mouths of representatives of different families.
But it's no wonder, although Wang Siyuan's plan is the best choice at present, but who let most of the chassis of Nanzhili be in Jiangbei, and only a small part of Zhejiang is within the scope of Nanzhili, his plan, fundamentally speaking, is to give up the interests of the vast majority of the family gentry in exchange for a glimmer of success.
And this is obviously not acceptable to those local clans in Jiangbei, the reason why he is so blatant, and does not hesitate to risk the crime of rebellion, is not to prevent the reform of the Emperor of the Apocalypse and protect his own interests. It's good now, the hand of the Emperor of the Apocalypse hasn't reached out yet, and the coalition forces have to give up first, how can this be, how can this be accepted!
"According to the old man, Wang Xiaoyou's plan is indeed a bit inappropriate, Jiangbei has such a large hole card to lose to the puppet emperor, isn't this a purple enemy, and after losing so much territory, we will have a lot less room for maneuver." An old man in Confucian clothes stood up and said slowly.
As he spoke, the whole assembly scene fell silent, but then a small discussion erupted.
"Look, Mr. Zou has spoken."
"It's Er Zhangong, it turns out that he is here too."
"Look, it's Mr. Nangao, I didn't expect him to participate in this rebellion event."
The appearance of Zou Yuanbiao caused a discussion in the venue, and the whole venue was held in the back garden of the Wei State Mansion, the place was quite large, except for the people around Zou Yuanbiao, no one else knew that he was also here, so when he appeared to speak, it caused a great sensation.
He returned home to lecture for 30 years, and accumulated a huge number of people, almost everyone in the Jiangnan area knows about it, and no one knows it.
"Ahem, everyone is quiet, it's not too late to discuss after listening to Er Zhangong's speech." Suddenly, in the midst of this noisy discussion, a middle-aged man stood up and shouted loudly, but he found that Zou Yuanbiao was affected by this discussion, and reluctantly stopped his speech.
"Yes, yes, don't make any noise, listen to what Master Zou has to say, he is a prodigy who has read through the Five Classics since he was a child, and he must have studied military strategy."
Someone agreed, and then it was agreed by others, and gradually, the silence of the venue returned.
"I don't dare to be a high opinion, but I just put it forward for everyone's reference." Zou Yuanbiao smiled very modestly, he was a lot older, he didn't hold it up at all, and his personable appearance once again impressed the people present.
"The old man said just now that it is a great mistake to give such a vast land in Jiangbei to the puppet emperor, not only to send land, but also to the other party, the loss of being a colleague is too great, and the road to hold the Yangtze River will not work." Zou Yuanbiao twisted his beard and said with a high-ranking appearance.
"According to the news that the old man got it, the puppet emperor's Yulin army is recruiting soldiers, which involves a considerable part of the troops. In the southwest, there are two Tusi of luxury and An who are rebelling, and the puppet emperor will definitely shoot troops to suppress it. In this way, it is doubtful how much of the 30,000 Yulin army can be drawn out to quell the rebellion, and the old man estimates that it will not exceed 15,000 at most.
"We have 100,000 people, and the opponent is only in the early 10,000s, almost ten times the difference, how can we lose." After saying this, Zou Yuanbiao began to cough fiercely.
"What the boss said makes sense, we will defend against the enemy army in Jiangbei."
"That's right, we're definitely going to win, 100,000 against 10,000, even pigs can win."
There are still many people who support Zou Yuanbiao, full of pits and valleys. However, at this time, the middle-aged man just now suggested again, "Since the boss is so proficient in military strategy, the head of the inference is the Tao, and this is the time of crisis, and he must play the role of a virtuous person. ”
"Yes, Strategist, the boss's mind can't be wasted."
"Yes, the military advisor's sacrificial wine must be the boss's, who fights for me and scolds him to death."
In this way, Zou Yuanbiao became a military advisor who rebelled against the coalition army. And Wang Siyuan, who had been silently watching from the sidelines, finally saw something at this time, it turned out that they wanted to seize power.
Next, the development of the conference was completely out of Wang Siyuan's control, and under Zou Yuanbiao's proposal, all military strategies were overturned and reformulated, and Wang Siyuan's position was lost in the middle.
Subsequently, the fresh list of commanders of the coalition forces came out, and the commander-in-chief was still Wei Guogong, which was still the other party's high morality and highest status, and they also needed this signboard, so they had to be set on their heads, but in addition, the rest of the positions were all local gentry, and Wang Siyuan's name was completely absent.
