Storm VI

In the combat staff room, everyone looked at Wen Tianxiang.

If Wen Tianxiang let Chen Hangyan and the 7,000 brothers under his command go to death in order not to conflict with the old forces, and in order to create a glorious image of loyalty and righteousness for the Dadu Governor's Mansion, all the soldiers of the Broken Army would feel cold. But if Wen Tianxiang withdrew Chen Bu to Jiangnan because of the danger of the Northern Expedition, the heroes of the whole world would feel cold.

"Order the advance brigade of the Northern Expedition to move eastward, along the coast of Yancheng and Chuzhou to the north, into the Shandong East Road, if the Yuan army still uses blockade tactics, continue to the north along the coast, all the way to Haizhou (the opposite bank of Lianyungang)! Let the brothers Zhang Xuan of the Huangshui Foreign Business Group meet along the coast, that is their old nest, and the terrain they are most familiar with. Wen Tianxiang looked at the map and ordered in a deep voice. (Drinker's note: Yancheng, Haizhou, and Rizhao in the Song Dynasty were all by the sea.) Lianyungang is still an isolated island)

Hear this. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This may be the most appropriate solution, the Metropolitan Governor's Office does not have more troops to send to Lianghuai to support the Chen Division, but if the Chen Subordinate always moves along the coast, it will not be difficult for the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to find any landing site on the coast to bring the Chen Subordinate back by virtue of the superiority of the naval division.

Chen Hangyan's supply line must be guaranteed, otherwise, the Northern Expedition Advance Brigade will repeat the mistake of Lin Fengxiang, the Taiping Army general in Wenzhong's memory. Wen Tianxiang knew that he was not on the same level as Bo Yan at the strategic and tactical levels, but with the hundreds of years of memories that followed Wen Zhong's memory, he thought of a way to not only allow Chen Hangyan to return safely, but also make the Northern Yuan monarchs and ministers scramble.

"Ordered Du Hu to abandon the blockade of the river around the mouth of Leizhou, and all the sailors withdrew eastward, and quickly went north after Jiankang was replenished, and went straight to Dengzhou. Take down Donghai Island (Lianyungang) and pick up General Chen Hangyan there. If possible, the two of them will join forces and attack Dengzhou and Ninghai! Wen Tianxiang leaned over the map and continued to order.

The staff officers planted the red flag representing the Broken Army to Dengzhou in accordance with Wen Tianxiang's order, and everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. Dengzhou and Ninghai are located on the corner of the Shandong East Road, close to the sea on three sides, as long as they hold the northeast side, the Yuan army cannot recapture. More importantly, Dengzhou overlooks the Bohai Bay, not far from Fuzhou in eastern Liaodong and Zhigukou near Dadu. If the captive army completes this strategic move as scheduled, the safety of Kublai Khan and Zhenjin father and son will be threatened. Even if he can't force Boyan to retreat north, he can still make Kublai Khan dare not go south before retaking Dengzhou!

"It's just that General Chen Hangyan has too few troops!" There was a staff officer who reminded him in a whisper.

"The remnants of the Red Jacket Army in Shandong have been wandering around, with no fixed place to stay. The last general suggested that General Chen hand over the defeated territory and captured weapons to a part of the Red Jacket Army......." Chief of Staff Zeng Huan added loudly.

"Yes, you can arrange it immediately!" Wen Tianxiang excitedly agreed.

If Shandong and the Red Jacket Army and the Bazi Army in Taihang Mountain are armed, it will be equivalent to stabbing Beiyuan in the heart. Taihang Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, from the east and west roads of Shandong, the north and south roads of the southeast of Henan (now Henan, Shanxi) to the east and west roads of Hebei. The Northern Yuan Dynasty has already lost the important grain producing area of Liangzhejiang, and if the six prefectures near the Taihang Mountain are messed up again, I am afraid that next year Kublai Khan's million-strong army will have to survive by drinking the northwest wind.

"The Tartar wants to release our blood, let's stab it twice to see whose blood is cleaned first!" Staff officer Song Qingxun commented with a smile. The atmosphere in the operations staff room immediately relaxed, and several young staff officers laughed and deduced the risks and solutions that Chen Hangyan might encounter when heading north along the coast, and the more he deduced, the wider the road ahead.

"I think that Boyan thinks more about waiting for an opportunity to fight with us, rather than fighting for consumption. He is the prime minister of the Great Yuan, and his vision is much higher than that of ordinary Mongolian generals. Staff Officer Zeng Huan pondered for a moment and added.

"Now the national strength of our Great Song Dynasty is gradually recovering, and the national strength of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is declining. If you fight each other, the longer it takes, the more beneficial it will be to my Great Song. He used sabotage tactics to destroy the Jiangnan West Road, and my Great Song Dynasty is not currently rich in Jiangxi. Besides, the prime minister's tactics of the black tiger were used to dig out the heart, and the north was in chaos, even if Boyan's initial goal was not a decisive battle, he had to wait with us to win or lose. ”

"Therefore, General Chen Hangyan's offensive can only be regarded as a miracle move, and the real decisive battle is still on Jiangnan West Road, to be specific, in Ji and Jiangxi Prefectures!" Zeng Huan used a pen to draw a circle in the hinterland of Jiangnan West Road, encompassing Jizhou, Taihe, Xingguo, Ganzhou and other places. "From the map, this area is almost the heart of the entire Gangnam. A large army is stationed here, and attacks can be launched in the east, west, and south directions......"

The atmosphere was solemn again, and when everyone withdrew their eyes from the periphery and put them on the main battlefield, they had to admit that no matter how lively Chen Hangyan fought in Shandong, the pressure of the First Division in the face of nearly 200,000 troops under Boyan had not diminished in the slightest. This is a true portrayal of the current difference in national strength between the Great Yuan and the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty won one victory after another on different battlefields, which was not enough to threaten the survival and security of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. And as long as the Northern Yuan Dynasty won a big victory, it was enough to make the Great Song Dynasty doomed.

"If I were Boyan, I would try my best to put the battlefield in Jizhou. Ganzhou is too close to Fujian and Guangnan East and West, and our reinforcements can be received at any time. And in Jizhou, even to the north, the supply lines on both sides are almost the same length! Staff officer Song Qingxun volunteered to play the opposite role, calculating the best route for Boyan to send troops.

Several staff officers tried to deduce it, and generally agreed with his judgment. It is not difficult to judge the strategic purpose of Boyan, but the most difficult thing at present is to judge the time when Boyan launched an offensive, and with the current strength and combat capability of the Broken Army, there is no possibility of taking the initiative to attack Ezhou at all. As long as Boyan does not move for a day, more than 100,000 Mongolian troops will hang like sharp swords above everyone's heads for a day.

"Boyan is waiting for an opportunity, waiting for our flaws. Maybe it's in the military, maybe it's something else! Wen Tianxiang looked at the calculation results of Song Qingxun, Zeng Huan and others again, and said his judgment.

Chen Longfu, Liu Zijun and others looked at each other and smiled bitterly. It's rare for them to be unified. In their eyes, there are too many omissions in the current Metropolitan Governor's Office, and the consequences of the rapid expansion of the previous stage have begun to appear. With the disorganized army, the reduced training of soldiers, and the lack of supplies, the little emperor is restless behind him, and no matter which part he starts, the enemy can poke a big hole. (Please support alcoholics to 17k, support genuine guidebook)

"I'm afraid Da Yuan's omission is not smaller than ours, since Boyan wants to find an opportunity, let's find a way to stab him first, so that he can't wait for the time to be ripe, so he has to do it first!" Just when everyone felt embarrassed, Du Gui squinted his little eyes and walked in front of everyone.

In terms of military affairs, he should not have interfered. However, in such a pre-war meeting, the household department in charge of supply was eligible to attend. Listening to Du Gui's words, everyone was stunned, Chief of Staff Zeng Huan thought about it, and took the lead in asking: "Master Du, if there is any way, you might as well say it directly, everyone can refer to it together, maybe you can find a way to break the enemy!" ”

"We don't understand the war. But this is like doing business, he is bent on asking for a price, and we have to pay it back. Since you adults think that Boyan's wishful thinking is to find our flaws. Let's give him a guy first, so that he can take care of himself. Therefore, my solution is to let Kublai Khan's court chaos first, Boyan's ass is on fire, and his heart must be confused! Du Gui said with a smile. He was born with a smile, and he was calm with joy, as if he could retreat hundreds of thousands of troops with a raise of his hand.

Everyone was confused by him, compared with the Great Song Dynasty, the biggest advantage of the Northern Yuan was that they had a strong sense of the overall situation, a brutal but wise and heroic leader, Kublai Khan. As for the Great Song Dynasty, the royal family has been sparing no effort to drag everyone back from the beginning to the present. If Du Gui can really make Kublai Khan make mistakes at a critical moment, then, no matter how strange Boyan moves, the two sides will be considered a draw outside the battlefield.

"Ziju, tell me your method!" Wen Tianxiang asked in an encouraging tone.

"Actually, it's simple, don't we have a lot of money in our hands, and we can distribute tens of millions of dollars in various ways around the capital. Then let Kublai Khan know that Lu Shirong has been embezzling his money, I think, no matter how wise Kublai Khan is, he can't stand the embarrassment of handing over money like paper! Du Gui slowly said a clever plan.

At the beginning of the Broken Army, in order to obtain material supplies, a lot of large yuan bills were forged. Later, due to the excessive depreciation of the banknotes, the southern people refused to accept it, so the scope of its use was gradually reduced. Today, in the north, especially near the capital, Kublai Khan's court still uses force to maintain the passage of money. However, its face value has been depreciated by more than 30 times, and in order to maintain the expenses of the northern imperial court, Lu Shirong and others, who are in charge of the household department, even printed huge banknotes with a face value of 100 guan and 500 guan to plunder the wealth of the people.

If at this moment, tens of millions of calculated banknotes suddenly appeared in the hands of the people near Dadu, even if they didn't know how to pay the branches, the staff officers also knew that the Northern Yuan Imperial Court would immediately fall into the embarrassing situation of handing over money like paper. When Kublai Khan's ministers had no money to spend, they would naturally blame Lu Shirong, who was in charge of the household department, and Lu Shirong was a "capable member" personally recommended by Hanchen Ye Li to replace Ahma. At that time, as long as someone sends the evidence of Lu Shirong's corruption to a few Mongolian ministers who are known for their "incorruptibility," the Han, Mongolian, and Semu ministers will certainly take the opportunity to start a new round of dumping.

"Immediately hand over all the sealed banknotes to the Salt Gang and transport them to the north. Notify the Academy of Sciences to seize the time to rebuild a batch, and the face value is mainly consistent and two-through. Zijing, you inform the Northern Intelligence Commander and start an operation around this plan! Wen Tianxiang ordered decisively.

Attacking cities and plundering land is the strength of the Yuan army, but economic affairs are the strength of the metropolitan governor's office. The outcome of the war may not only depend on the battlefield, since Boyan has the intention to find the flaws of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, why didn't the Dadu Governor's Mansion rush to the Northern Yuan Dynasty first?

Half an hour later, the staff officers who had received the tasks left one after another and went separately to refine the tasks. Wen Tianxiang, Liu Zijun, Chen Zijing, Chen Longfu and other core figures of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion followed each other out and came to Wen Tianxiang's daily study where he handled official business. (Please support alcoholics to 17k, support genuine guidebook)

"I think Boyan has the idea of making our Great Song Dynasty civil strife!" Liu Zijun looked at everyone and took out an important piece of information from his underwear pocket. "According to the Inspectorate's eyeliner, Banzai has recently followed the pretext of reducing the use of the Imperial Palace, and has returned most of the guards assigned to him by General Miao Chun to the Teaching Brigade. The remaining dozen or so were also sent to the periphery of the palace wall to serve as guards, and they were no longer allowed to approach important places such as his study and dormitory! ”

"Long live growing up!" Chen Longfu let out a long sigh and said. This is a situation he has always been unwilling to see, the smart Zhao Yu grows up day by day, and day by day he discovers the gap between the current emperor and the previous emperors in power. As a "Ming Jun" who has been pinned on by ministers since he was a child, it is impossible for him to endure the situation of losing power.

"Long live growing up, but some people are almost sixty years old, and they still haven't grown up. How many times have you suffered losses, and you still pin the country's expectations on children! Liu Zijun sneered a few times and took out another piece of information.

Chen Yizhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has been moving frequently recently, and in the name of appeasing the emperor, he has visited almost all the old ministers who were evacuated from Yashan back then. On the list that Liu Zijun obtained, Lu Xiufu, Deng Guangjian, Zhuo Ke and several other influential ministers in the local area were impressively listed. (Please support alcoholics to 17k, support genuine guidebook)

At the bottom of the list, there are several characters that Wen Tianxiang has never seen. Liu Zijun used a red pen to draw a horizontal line under their names.

"Who are these sacred?" Wen Tianxiang pointed to the red line and asked.

"Tang Ying and Yue Qingyang are both ministers and apprentices. When Tang Ying retreated from Yashan, he and a dozen ministers fled in a small boat with a batch of property, lost their way on the water, and later started a shipping business with that money. Recently, I returned to Quanzhou and donated 100,000 taels of silver to the Inner Palace. Yue Qingyang is His Majesty's personal eunuch and is responsible for serving food and living. According to careful observation, this person has an extremely close relationship with Chen Yizhong. ”

"There is also this Zheng Huchen, who was the official who killed Jia Rudao on the road to exile back then, and is known as chivalrous among the people. This Wu Yulin is the chief writer of a newspaper, specializing in picking thorns in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. In his pen, the adult is today's Cao Mengde! Liu Zijun pointed to the names of the last few people and said coldly.

The Supervision Department did not have the power to arrest people, otherwise, with his temperament, he would have thrown these people into the Shaowu mine to dig peat.

"Recently, there has been a folk rumor that adults have a ninety-five appearance. And the spy Si Shunteng touched the melon, and actually found that this word was first passed from the mouth of the Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain! Chen Zijing then added a new piece of information.

"The guys in Longhu Mountain who pretend to be ghosts have already been offended by us, in my opinion, I'm afraid they don't have any good intentions!" Chen Longfu's brows furrowed. At the time when the young emperor was eager to regain power, Longhu Mountain suddenly created such a rumor, which could only add fuel to the fire.

"Will Boyan send Longhu Mountain to do this, and will the emperor ......" Zeng Huan asked hesitantly, and he didn't need to say the remaining half, everyone could understand the meaning.

"His grandmother's!" Chen Zijing scolded in a low voice and smashed his fist on the list. Since the defeat of the first Battle of Ganzhou, he has completely lost hope in the Great Song Dynasty. If Wen Tianxiang ordered him to lead people to arrest Zhao Yu and Chen Yi and others at this moment, he would never hesitate to accept this order. (Please support alcoholics to 17k, support genuine guidebook)

"The emperor is very smart, he will not be stupid enough to collude with the Mongols." Wen Tianxiang shook his head lightly, vetoing everyone's speculation. Although greatly influenced by Wen Zhong, deep down, he still firmly adhered to his moral limit.

Zhao Yu is a smart emperor, and with teachers like Lu Xiufu and Deng Guangjian to teach, he will not be stupid enough to collude with Boyan. But what about Chen Yizhong? What about the old ministers and Confucians who have always regarded the New Deal as their revenge? Will they sell a country for the sake of their ideals?

"The Metropolitan Governor is not as good as .......," Zeng Huan said tentatively. He was only halfway through his sentence when his words were interrupted by Wen Tianxiang with a gesture.

Wen Tianxiang knew what everyone meant, with the current prestige and strength of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, he could indeed push the boat down the river and stand on behalf of the Song Dynasty. This is probably something that many generals and ministers are looking forward to. Knowing that they are nine times out of ten, who doesn't expect them to have the merit of supporting? The glory and exploits of the founding heroes are enough for several generations of a family to share!

But what about after becoming an emperor? Does the Covenant Congress still retain it? Do you still keep the systems that have been created with all the effort of people?? In the position of Grand Governor, Wen Tianxiang was willing to follow the patterns in Wen Zhong's memory to limit imperial power. But once he sat in Zhao Hao's position, Wen Tianxiang didn't dare to guarantee that he was still willing to put himself in the cage of the system.

"Your Majesty is very smart, he should know the difference in strength between each other!" After thinking for a long time, Wen Tianxiang said in a voice that couldn't be smaller. At this moment, his face was very pale, with sweat on his forehead, as weak as if he had just been born with a serious illness.

What answered him was Liu Zijun's sneer, "Your Majesty is indeed very smart and knows the difference in strength between each other. But others may not know. In the eyes of many people, the prime minister is just a Jin Er, and right now, there are people who want to be the king of Xinling! ”

In an instant, Wen Tianxiang felt that the world was spinning.

If you take decisive action based on Liu Zijun's information, it is obviously impossible to convince the world. But the delay is not decided, and no one can guess what Chen Yi and others will do next. For the people of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, they respected the laws and institutions they had created. For those who pay attention to power and scheming in everything, the law and system are just a piece of waste paper!

At present, the decisive battle is present, and there can be no turmoil within the Great Song Dynasty. Whether it is the Metropolitan Governor's Office that took the initiative to attack and completely purge the royalist forces. It was Chen Yi and others who took the initiative to attack the Dadu Governor's Mansion, I am afraid that it is the result that Boyan is most willing to see. It's also his best chance to make a shot!

It was this opportunity that Boyan was waiting for, and in an instant, everyone understood.

Even the sound of breathing could be heard in the quiet of the study, and Chen Longfu straightened his waist, finding that his back was soaked with sweat. The most stressful thing in the world is not that you find yourself in a conspiracy, but that you find yourself in a conspiracy and you can't crack the enemy's conspiracy.

After a few minutes, Wen Tianxiang let out a long sigh.

In just a few minutes, for Liu Zijun, Chen Longfu and others, it is as long as hundreds of years.
