Chapter 252: Before the Great Turmoil (Part II)
Yang Yingqi was mentioned by Zhao Ju'er, and his heart suddenly changed, and his back straightened a little and said: "Not bad!" Not bad! ”
Zhao Tanger said again: "Actually, it's not just him, the soldiers from the Central Plains, who doesn't have this mind?" Although this time it is said that the two major forces of the Northeast and the Central Plains are merged, it is the Han Department of the East China Sea that is the leader, which is still clear to everyone. In order to consolidate the current rights and interests, in order to strive for a higher status in the new court in the future, they all have to fight for this merit! If the army in the northeast is allowed to flatten Huining and then enter the customs and division, then the first skill of destroying gold will not be their turn anyway! At that time, the people and horses from the Central Plains, who have no martial arts, will bow their heads when they meet people from the Northeast. ”
Yang Yingqi heard this and said: "Even those leaders of the rebel army will be forgotten, even Zong Ying will not be able to hold his breath, but the second brother ...... Could it be that the second brother will also be bewitched by this? ”
"Maybe." Zhao Ju'er said: "But his thoughts may be different. ”
"Oh?"
Zhao Tanger said: "When I was still in Bianliang, I often heard about the deeds of the second brother, and I think he must be a person who values the distinction between Hu and Han very much." I wondered if he might be unwilling to watch the Hu people overwhelm the Han in the founding battle...... Well, the Han military horses in the northeast are actually more Hu than those in the Central Plains. Although the second brother is also a great person, no matter how powerful a person is, as long as he has paranoia in his heart, he will be blinded. ”
Yang Yingqi slapped his forehead heavily and said hatefully: "Not bad! Not bad! We didn't think of that in the first place! ”
Zhao Ju'er rubbed Yang Yingqi's forehead and said: "Don't be like this, these things, even if others can figure them out, they can only do it after the fact, if they are placed in Dengzhou, where can the parties think so far?" And he said, "Actually...... Shichiro, this matter may be very troublesome, but it may not be impossible to turn disaster into blessing. ”
Yang Yingqi's eyes were slightly surprised when he heard this: "How can you turn disaster into blessing?" ”
Zhao Tang'er said: "We will have such a problem this time, in the final analysis, it is still the inability to coordinate between the old subordinates of the Han Department and the new people of the Central Plains. If this contradiction is not eliminated, even if there is no problem in front of us, sooner or later there will be chaos. But since things have developed to this point, unless God blesses, I am afraid that there will be setbacks on the Central Plains side. ”
Yang Yingqi said: "At the beginning, we set the strategy of first the Northeast and then the Central Plains, that is, we calculated that the major theaters in the Central Plains could also hold on to their own battles. Even if the next situation is bad, at most it will lose the results in front of it and turn to defense again, Tanggu, Shandong and Hedong have been operating for a long time, and if they are only defensive, they should be able to hold on. ”
Zhao Tanger'er nodded and said, "Yes." But even if these people hold on, their power will be weakened. Not only in the face of the weakening of the Jin army, but also in the face of the weakening of the northeast army. In that case, they would have to rely more on the main forces of the Han Department...... So, Shichiro, this is also a good opportunity to integrate them further. ”
Yang Yingqi was stunned when he heard it, and muttered: "Not bad, not bad......" Suddenly, there was a sentence that was not easy to speak, but thinking that there was no one else around at the moment, only his wife, so he said in a low voice: "In this way, if the Central Plains side wins the battle, maybe it will be difficult for us to reunify." ”
"Hmm." Zhao Ju'er also said in a low voice: "If Zong Ying and those righteous soldiers succeed, then their voices will be much louder, and the general will have to consider whatever opinions they put forward." Even ......" Zhao Cheng'er hesitated for a moment, because there was only her husband by her side, so she said directly: "Even some people who don't know what to do are want to set up my father or my brother, it's not impossible - after all, the eldest brother has not yet become the emperor." Even if these people are willing to abide by their subjects, it is possible to support the army and interfere in the government, or even divide one side and divide the mountains and rivers - in short, the tail is too big. ”
Yang Yingqi groaned: "For the sake of the country's vitality, I would rather have difficulties in the future when integrating the Central Plains and the Northeast than I want them to fail." ”
Zhao Ju'er said: "What if they are defeated? ”
Yang Yingqi said: "Then we have to find a way to clean up this mess." ”
Zhao Ju'er asked, "How to clean up?" ”
Yang Yingqi said: "At least we must hold Shandong and Tanggu, the third brother is very tenacious, Tanggu is like Liaokou is a situation near the river and the sea, and we have been operating on the Shandong Peninsula for a long time, we should be able to hold these two places." As for the east side of the river, we can't reach it. However, the second brother is not someone who will be easily defeated. ”
Zhao Tang'er said: "Well, unless it is a big rout, Tanggu and Shandong should also be able to hold on." But...... Qilang, what if my ninth brother responds to the Jin people in the south and surrounds us from Shandong and Shaanxi respectively? ”
Yang Yingqi was taken aback and said, "This ...... He wouldn't be so bold, would he? ”
Zhao Ju'er sighed: "I'm just worried, but ...... But you have to guard against it. ”
Yang Yingqi let go of his wife, stood up and paced, "If that's the case...... If so...... Then whether we can hold it or not, the key is not in Yanyun, but in the southeast! ”
Zhao Tanger said: "Is the fourth brother over there?" ”
Yang Yingqi said: "Not bad. ”
——————
Yang Yingqi was worried in Liaoyang, but there was nothing he could do. Under the current technical conditions, the central government's control over the overall military and political situation thousands of miles away can only be accomplished through personnel arrangements before and after the event -- that is, to arrange as many reliable ministers as possible in advance, and to reward and punish them afterwards. Planning before the start of the war is also quite important, but after the situation unfolds and before the war ends, the center can only try to trust the important ministers and generals outside, unless there is a special opportunity, otherwise many things Yang Yingqi is difficult to change even if he knows that there are hidden worries, because whether it is a change of generals or a remote control battlefield thousands of miles away, it is also an extremely stupid thing.
"Fourth brother...... What kind of attitude would he have? ”
Until three months ago, Ouyang Shi's role was not very obvious, because the New Han regime's defensive arrangements in the Central Plains were not only enough to guard against the Jin, but also against the Southern Song Dynasty. If Ouyang Shi wants to highlight his role, unless it is a direct rebellion, but it is really unknown how many people will follow him if he really does this, so Yang Yingqi is not very worried about this, because this is unlikely.
However, after the Qilu army launched an attack in the north, the defense line in Shandong in the face of the Southern Song Dynasty was quite empty. At this time, the New Han Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty were still in the honeymoon period, at least on the surface, and the Central Plains Army raised troops to restore their homeland was a great pleasure in line with the hearts of the Chinese people, so almost no one in the Qilu Army and the Hedong Army believed that Zhao Gou would attack the back of the Han Department at this juncture!
However, can the security of the southern defense line of the Han Department rely solely on Zhao Gou's faith? Yang Yingqi was full of worries about Zhao Gou's trustworthiness, but Xiao Tienu felt that Zhao Gou would definitely do this!
In this case, Ouyang Shi's position suddenly became important, because he was the only person in the Han Department who had the power to influence the military and political affairs of the Great Song Dynasty! Yang Yingqi also had considerable influence on the Great Song Dynasty, but he was too far away after all.
In the first month of 1681, almost at the same time, Xiao Tienu and Yang Yingqi coincidentally sent envoys. Yang Yingqi sent people to Tanggu, Hedong and Zhoushan Islands. Lu Yanlun, who set out from Xiao Ziqi, went to Western Xia and the East China Sea, and another less important envoy pretended to be a merchant to pass through Hedong, but unfortunately he was caught by the Jin soldiers' Luo cavalry on the way, and this messenger committed suicide by taking poison in order to keep it secret, and Xiao Tienu's words to Hedong did not reach because of this.
However, what if Xiao Tienu's words reach him? The words he asked the messenger to tell Cao Guangbi did not include his next moves, but only reminded Cao Guangbi to watch out for the south and west. But this kind of reminder may not be effective, because the arrangement of the Hedong side is not a mistake that can be reminded in a few words, and Cao Guangbi's various arrangements have achieved the highest caution he can do, but this may not affect the change in the general trend of the chessboard!
"Rush!"
"Go!"
While Yang Yingqi was still worried, the offensive of the Qilu Army in Hebei was still continuing! Although Zhending was still not captured, Xu Wen's troops and horses had already driven to Wuqing, and the Tanggu army that was fighting out of the city was successful. Although Yanyun's battle was not as smooth as a month ago, and the resistance of the Jin soldiers was much stronger than before, the Han army still had the upper hand!
"We're going to win!" Most of the generals were confident in this.
"At least you won't lose!" Even conservatives think so.
Although it was the first month, the hellish north wind still refused to stop. Tanggu is behind it, so the supply of grain and grass is not a problem, but the warm clothes are a little insufficient because of the hasty preparation. The regular army in Tanggu, as well as the military horses of Wang Xuan and Liu Qi, can still be taken care of, but the huge number of rebels is not dressed warmly.
"! Lao Tzu has won so many battles! Not even a decent piece of clothing! "Some remote troops actually had a serious incident of freezing to death and frostbite, although the number was small, but it also hit the morale of the rebel troops.
When Yang Yingqi's warning in Liaoyang Mansion reached Zong Ying's hands, he was also worried about logistics matters, but he still thought that Yang Yingqi was a little worried. Although there are some small problems in the Han army in the Central Plains, these are only some small flaws in the context of the great victory, and they are not enough to shake the overall situation.
"It's been two months since the beginning of winter, but the Jin people have not been able to fight back so far, which shows that they are really weak!" Zong Ying said to Wang: "If the Jin people laid a trap, then they should have taken advantage of the north wind to attack!" In fact, even if the Jin people are still hiding their strength, we are not afraid, according to our current arrangement, the Tanggu Army, the Qilu Army and the Hedong Army have been connected, attacking one and the other, attacking the other and the other, even if the Jin people organize a large army to counterattack, we will definitely be able to withstand it! Now I'm worried about the northeast, because if Zong Han transfers his troops north, the general may be in trouble. ”
Wang Xuan said: "But Lord Yang is still worried in this letter that the Zhao official family will copy our back road...... In that case, we would be in danger. Qilu is our foundation, if Qilu has police, the morale of the whole army will collapse! ”
Zong Ying smiled when he heard this: "How is that possible? Although the Zhao Guanjia was quite lacking in courage to resist Huma, the Han and Song dynasties were in-laws after all, and the Jurchens were enemies. Now the two saints are still in the hands of the golden people! Our Northern Expedition, even the Shilin of Jiangnan and Huguang are very supportive, if the Zhao Guanjia is really perverse, how can he explain to the world Shilin! ”
At this time, there were 150,000 soldiers and horses outside the city of Zhending, and Zong Ying felt that it was a waste to gather too many troops in this place, so he issued a command to let Wang Xuan lead 10,000 elite soldiers to the north to join Yang Kaiyuan to attack Yanjing. Originally, the closest to Yanjing was Tanggu, but Yang Kaiyuan's deployment of troops during this period of time was extremely conservative, so Zong Ying was very dissatisfied with this. Even for Cao Guangbi's various arrangements in Hedong, Zong Ying felt that he was too complacent.
"Father......" Zong Ying pressed his hand to his chest and said silently: "We have already crossed the river, and now it is Yanyun that Emperor Taizu Taizong sighs at is just around the corner!" One step further, just one step further! We've done it! ”
