Chapter 50 Transportation
The same news, Ye Mengding, the head coach of the Hai Division in Qingyuan Mansion, received it earlier than Jin Ming, and like the latter, the small paper scroll only wrote the words 'life and death unknown', what is the inside story? Even Li Shiyi, who sent the news, didn't dare to make any guarantees, because he hadn't seen it in person, of course, from the bottom of their hearts, they definitely believed that the service system would survive, which had nothing to do with reason, it was just a belief.
But all the news that came back was only described in these four words, Jiankang, Jingshi, Quanzhou, and further away, whether others would believe it or not, it would be up to them, such as Ye Mengding, who was reading at the moment.
"State affairs are unbearable." After reading it, Ye Mengding handed it to Senator Hu Sansheng on the side and sighed.
Things finally slipped in the worst direction, Ye Mengding didn't doubt the qiē described above, because the qiē was too much like that kid to do, can Liu Yu be blamed for such a result? Of course not, when the imperial court asked him to go, he should have thought that he would not do anything without a lower limit for the sake of a peace agreement.
Hu Sanxing didn't have a surprised expression, as early as after the matter was decided, he expected that this would be the result, life and death are always better than being in a different place, that means that there is still hope for life, for the young man who has repeatedly created zào miracles, he has a strong confidence, this confidence is not reasonable, but it does exist.
"Why did Shao Bao say this, the Yuan people are so frustrated, it just shows that whether the war is still between the two sides, otherwise how can they send an envoy to ask for guilt? Doesn't that give me a flaw in coping? This is one of them. Hu Sanxing's words made Ye Mengding impressed,
"Second, Ziqing is not an ordinary person, he must have his intentions in doing this, Shao Bao think about it, from the beginning of inviting you out of the mountain, which thing is not like this? Anyway, I don't know what others think, according to his subordinates, he will never do anything to kill himself, there must be a mystery in this. ”
From his words, it can be concluded that Hu Sanxing's judgment has no basis? But his friendship with Liu Yu can be traced back to the beginning of the crossing, in addition to Wang Lixin, he is the second person to be fooled by Liu Yu, and witnessed how the latter stepped into a high position step by step from a white body, and ran to the enemy country to die? Others may be possible, but this kid will definitely not, this is the source of Hu Sanxing's confidence.
"The old man is in love, and he is right, the more this is the case, the more you and I should rise up, otherwise wouldn't it be a shame for him to live up to his hard work?" Ye Mengding laughed self-deprecatingly, as a father-in-law of others, he was not even as good as a scribe,
In the water village in the camp of Wengzhou, there are nearly 100 large and small ships moored, the reason why the number is so scarce is because most of the people have gone to sea, one-third of the fleet took the wealth in Lin'an City to Qiongzhou, and the rest went to Jiankang Mansion to load all the Yuan prisoners there, and the destination was also Qiongzhou!
When the fleet turned, Ye Mengding unexpectedly received a handwritten letter from Li Tingzhi, despite the black technology such as a microphone, old ministers like them are still used to this way of communication, and how many military affairs, disputes and compromises are hidden in these seemingly ordinary sentences.
This is also the reason why he came to the camp of the Navy Division today, what Li Tingzhi wants to do, he can guess part of it, whether to agree to his request or not, Ye Mengding has not yet made up his mind, after all, his first task is to ensure the sea retreat of the Jingshi Lin'an Mansion, and the border marshal has already committed the taboo of the court without unauthorized traffic through the cardinal mansion, according to him before, let alone agree, the lowest Cheng Dù also sent a letter to reprimand him, and if he didn't do it, he would go to the court to point out his traitor!
So the question is, Li Tingzhi doesn't know his temperament, why did he do it so obviously and threw a huge handle into his hands? Are the two friends? Not to mention, Jia seems to be in the era, although there are such and such difficulties, but his position of Lianghuai is basically sitting firmly, and he was transferred out for a while halfway, and then he didn't move, no wonder some people pointed out that he was also Jia Dang, and Ye Mengding just swore to Jia someone, of course, aside from these, he also had to admit that in the position of the side marshal, Li Tingzhi still did a very good job, at least in the previous war, the defense line of Lianghuai was almost never shaken.
A general acquaintance, how can he trust his confidants? This is what Ye Mengding can't figure out, sometimes people will inevitably be confused by the authorities, even if he is an old fox, he often thinks about things more complicated, and he may miss the real reason, and more often than not, Hu Sanxing, who is like a scholar, is obviously the bystander.
"Shao Bao himself knows that if he goes to the imperial court, will the princes of the political hall agree?" Hu Sanxing only said one sentence, and the essence of the problem was revealed.
Hai Si's purpose is to ensure the Jingshi, and in the same way, the preservation of the Jiankang Mansion is also to shield the Jingshi, and now Li Tingzhi wants to make a fuss on the border of Huaidong and transfer the only mobile force there, or the water and land at the same time, and the princes of the Political Affairs Hall have broken their brains, so they agreed to him this whimsical approach!
This question is not difficult to figure out, but what is puzzling is why Li Tingzhi thinks he will agree? Ye Mengding looked at the patrol boats coming in and out of the water village, calculating the time, the boats that went out would not return in a month, he was not worried that the Yuan people would suddenly hit the Jingshi, it was impossible, unless the divine soldiers descended from the sky, how could Li Tingzhi think of such a plan, this is not like his style at all.
He has been in power for a long time, so he naturally knows that only Huaidong can be regarded as stable along the border roads, not only referring to the fortified cities of Chuzhou and Xuyi, but also the good wartime system there, and almost every common person knows what they should do when the war comes.
This is not the case elsewhere, whether it is Huaixi, which is in turmoil, or Jinghu, which has lost its natural dangers, shouldn't the main force be placed over there? Ye Mengding can only be regarded as rough in military affairs, and his thoughts are also the common habits of Wenchen in this era, so once there is an unexpected situation, it will make them confused.
"If the subordinates didn't guess wrong, there should be a head and tail for Ziqing in this matter." Hu Sanxing didn't want to interject, he thought that with such a long time of governing experience, Shaobao should be able to imagine it, who knew that the time of a pillar of incense had passed, and the latter was still frowning, so he had to remind him.
No wonder! Ye Mengding suddenly realized, he has always had a faint feeling that behind this unexpected plan is more like the shadow of someone, and only in this way can it be explained, because he himself is Liu Yu's father-in-law, and that Li Xianggong has a half-friendship with his son-in-law, so he will not shy away from telling him bluntly.
To name a few, Ye Mengding even felt that kid had a comprehensive plan when he fooled himself into taking charge of Haisi, otherwise how could he spare no effort to promote chaos in Quanzhou? It is an old force that has been in business for more than 30 years, and the chain of interests behind it is from the Queen Mother and the Prince to the businessman's pawn, which is intricately intertwined and complex and tenacious, and it can actually make him tear apart step by step, and finally break it in one move.
"I remember Ziqing once said that there is only one kind of victory he wants, and that is a complete victory."
It's better to cut off one of its fingers than to hurt its five fingers! Ye Mengding still understands this truth, that kid is indeed that kind of character, doing war is like this, and doing things is the same, this is what Ye Mengding appreciated him at that time, young and passionate, which makes people feel hope at a glance, and it is this hope that Da Song lacks.
Of course, things are not so simple, where the Yuan people's offensive came from, when it will come is still unknown, and there are many disadvantages for sea ships to enter the river, the depth of the channel, the distance of the land, and the hydrological weather must be considered.
Ye Mengding is a cautious person, he was able to send troops to participate in the Quanzhou incident before, because it was a civil strife, but now the situation is different, it has become a national war, in the face of the aggressive Yuan people, no one has the certainty of victory, when defeat becomes the norm, victory is precious, which is also the fundamental reason why Liu Yu can rise so fast.
Li Tingzhi wants a complete victory, why don't he want to, he can only make peace after winning, he is not a traverser, of course he will not do sweet dreams such as flattening the European continent and conquering the stars, a decent, slightly long-lasting peace is the greatest wish of these ruling ministers, and Ye Mengding is no exception.
Thinking about it like this, he suddenly found that what he was thinking about now was not a question of whether to say yes or not, but a question of how to do it, that stinky boy! He scolded in his heart, but he shook his head with a wry smile on his face, and inadvertently, he was affected by this person again, even if he was not around at the moment.
In any case, it was a month later, Li Tingzhi only tested his attitude in the letter, and did not explain the whole plan and discuss, which was of course out of caution, and even had a faint meaning in it, that is, even if Ye Mengding did not agree, it would not affect his determination.
"Body, the old man can't run, this trip, it's hard for you, when you get to Beijing, you will present this letter to the court, what does Li Xiangfu say, you can deal with it on behalf of the old man."
Receiving the big envelope handed over by Ye Mengding, Hu Sanxing was overjoyed, since he was asked to run, it was impossible to refuse, that is, to discuss the details of cooperation, there are not many things in Haisi at the moment, but he can make time.
"Okay, my subordinates will leave today, and if there is anything else to bring to Ling Lang and Ling Ai, give it to someone."
Ye Mengding waved his hand wordlessly, it wasn't Hu Sansheng who mentioned it, he almost forgot that he still had a daughter in Beijing, he must have been in pain when he heard such news, what could he bring her? False comfort, bad fate, that is also a hard-working child.
