Chapter Seventy-Five: Ye Liuzong's Ambition

For Ye Liuzong, the experience of this half year is more wonderful than the first half of his life.

Victory after victory stimulated Ye Liuzong to have a greater desire.

If you are still unwilling to start the army just now, Ye Liuzong at this moment already wants to launch a wave of impact on the Ninety-Five Emperor.

But how to impact?

Ye Liuzong also developed confidence in one victory after another.

Although the arrival of Guo Deng's subordinates gave Ye Liuzong a lot of pressure, Ye Liuzong himself did not feel that he would definitely lose, and the victory or defeat would have to be asked.

But the logistical problems made Ye Liuzong embarrassed to death.

He never had more than three months of grain and grass in his army, firstly, he could not bring it, and secondly, because these counties were not rich counties, after all, the large army was in the ravine, and it was strange that they could be rich.

Therefore, if the things on the battlefield are to be put aside, the problem that he must first solve and must solve, that is, the logistics problem.

He thought about this problem and how to solve it, and he also had a draft.

He summoned Ye Xiba and Chen Shangong. The three brothers had a secret discussion in the hall of the government in Leadshan County.

Ye Liuzong said: "How long can the materials in the army last? ”

Chen Shangong said: "We have been in Leadshan for half a month, and I have already swept the government's inventory and grainmakers from all over the country, which is enough for the army to eat for more than three months, and I have also sent a batch of grain up the mountain. ”

Ye Liuzong said: "In the future, there is no need to send food to the mountains. ”

Ye Xiba was suddenly a little strange, and asked: "The eldest brother, sister-in-law and nephews are all in the mountains, what do they eat and drink if they don't send food?" ”

Ye Liuzong said: "Naturally, I don't care if they live or die, but we can't go on like this." ”

"In the past few months, we have played the official army around, but we only have more than 20,000 people, and now how many officers and troops there are, the three provinces combined, plus the border army, there are as many as 60,000 or 70,000, as for the people and archers recruited from all over the country, there are countless people. We only have 20,000 people. There are only 20,000 people. ”

"In this way, we can't escape a knife in the neck."

This is where Ye Liuzong feels helpless, what is the number of great Ming qi, this is the number of great Ming qi.

Although the entire system of the Ming Dynasty has various places that can be criticized, such as the treatment of stove households, such as the opportunities of miners, but on the whole, the entire system of the Ming Dynasty can still allow most people to live.

Even if there are some natural disasters, there is also relief from the imperial court.

Therefore, when Ye Liuzong captured the mining area, he attracted some people, but other than that, few people joined the rebel army.

When they saw this, they fled far away.

Or take the village as a unit and form a village to protect itself.

If this continues, he will only fight less and less, which is also another concern of Ye Liuzong.

Chen Shangong said: "Big brother, what are you going to do?" We all listen to you. ”

Ye Liuzong said: "Since we have rebelled, there is no other way, either kill all the way to Beijing City, sit in the Jinluan Palace, or laugh and talk to others in a different place." ”

"Therefore, I am ready to re-enter Fujian, take all Fujian, block all the passes in Fujian, and become a place in Fujian, so that I can compete with the imperial court for a long time."

"Otherwise, we will fight everywhere like this, and there will be no good end to the decision."

Ye Xiba was excited when he heard this, and said, "Big brother, I will listen to you and ensure that you are an emperor." ”

Ye Xiba is like this, but Chen Gongshan will not be like this, he said: "Big brother, now we have to contain the nose of the official army all the way, so that we can win this way, if we transfer to Fujian, and compete with the official army for various places, I am afraid the odds of winning ------"

Ye Liuzong said: "I know that it is very dangerous to do this, but if we don't do this, will we have a way to live, although this road is trapped." But it's the only way to live. We have to give it a go. ”

"However, it will not be as tough as the official army, you must first find a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and then talk about other things."

"And this kind of place is only found in Fujian."

How many times has Ye Liuzong thought about this idea.

All sorts of ideas have been considered.

Fujian has many mountains, especially in western Fujian. Zhejiang and Jiangxi cannot be said to have no mountains, but compared with the mountains of Fujian, they are much worse.

Ye Liuzong did not think that he could win the battle against the superior officers and troops in the battle on the plains.

You can only enter the mountainous area of western Fujian, and with the help of the mountain, there is the possibility of separating one side.

Chen Shangong said: "Big brother, since you said so, life and death, the younger brother and the eldest brother will go through it." ”

Ye Liuzong said: "Okay. The three of us brothers do a great job. ”

Deep down in Ye Liuzong's heart, he has actually been preparing for this overseas escape route, but at this time, he can't say it, after all, his anger can be puffed up but not vented.

In this way, Ye Liuzong discussed the idea of how to transfer to Fujian.

It is not known whether Ye Liuzong can be the king of Fujian, but the decisive battle between the two sides is in the rain, slowly brewing, and it seems that the rain god has pressed the pause button on their battle.

Beijing, in the Forbidden City.

Zhu Qizhen was a little bored when he saw the rain outside.

There has been too much rain this year.

Yu Qian has already reported that the water situation in the Zhanghe River and Weihe River basins this year is very unusual, and it is precisely because of the water conservancy project that has just been established that it has encountered a test.

Fortunately, it passed.

Even the water conservancy projects in Zhili have also affected the water situation in Zhangde Mansion and Weihui Mansion in Henan.

These two prefectures are the Zhanghe River, the upper reaches of the Wei River, if it is convenient to manage according to the river, in fact, when Yu Qian was qualified for the Wei River and the Zhanghe River, these two prefectures should be included in the unified planning.

But there is a reason for such a division of provincial borders, and it cannot be redrawn because it is convenient for a while, and even now, Henan still has a piece of land north of the Yellow River, which can be seen that many politicians have the same opinion.

But Yu Qian is not out of the question.

Yu Qian was the governor of Henan. The local government also thought of Yu Qian's goodness, so Yu Qian asked the local gentry to find a way to use Yu Qian's large-scale integration of water conservancy to repair their own rivers through personal relationships.

The financial resources of the private sector, plus the expenditure of the prefectures and counties, are naturally not as good as the massive investment of the state, but they still play a little role. At least this year, Zhangde Mansion, Weihui Mansion, and the two mansions are infinitely shocked.

No, about the Wei River, the Zhanghe River is infinitely shocking, but the Weihui Mansion is different for the Yellow River.

The roaring Yellow River, with its tremendous destructive power, slammed into the dikes on both sides of the Yellow River with a posture that almost destroyed everything, and everyone who stood on the dikes of the Yellow River had a feeling.

I feel like I'm not standing on the ground, but on a boat, and the embankment under my feet will rise and fall with the waves of the Yellow River.

It seems that the next second can be destroyed.

Zhu Qizhen's concern about the water situation of the Yellow River is already a higher level than the military situation. After all, the war that the slaves did, even if they were defeated, was only 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers.

But once the Yellow River bursts, it will not be a matter of hundreds of thousands of people, at least a million.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen looked at the endless rain, how could he rest assured.

Zhu Qizhen was not interested in the reward of the Battle of Sandaoguan, but he just took Shi Hengguan in his original position and served as the deputy general of Haixi Town, which is also the characteristic of military generals, most of the generals are promoted quickly and descended quickly, as long as they can win the battle, it is a brush to promote upwards, once something happens, it is also very powerful when the official is demoted

Although Shi Heng became the deputy general of Haixi Town, his deputy general and the deputy general of Datong Town are still incomparable. Therefore, how many soldiers are there in Datong Town, and how many soldiers and horses there are in Haixi Town.

For the specific rewards below, let the Governor's Office of the Fifth and Fifth Armies of the Ministry of War discuss it. His mind is on one person's name, and that is Zhao Xin.

Zhao Xin is the new governor of Henan.

In fact, he moved from the governor of Jiangxi to the governor of Henan.

As mentioned above, this time the governor was actually regularized, from a temporary dispatch to the highest chief executive of each province, and some provinces also had governors before that.

And Zhao Xin is a relatively good local official. Zhu Qizhen remembered the impression of summoning Zhao Xin at the beginning, and felt a little relieved.

Without him, Zhao Xin is an image of a follower in Zhu Qizhen's heart.
