Chapter 26: Planning (II)
Zhejiang Governor Wang Chen's staff is actually quite a lot, some are responsible for money and food, some are responsible for criminal names, and some are responsible for military planning, but it is Xingshi who is in charge, so Wang Chen went to the front line in person, and Xingshi stayed in Hangzhou.
Fortunately, I always felt that my position was secure, but now ......
looked at the simple map that had just been drawn on the table, and then listened to Qian Yuan's endless narration beside him, and then looked at Dong Weng, who was fascinated by it...... Fortunately, I felt threatened, and my previous thoughts were simply simple, let this goods come in, where will I still have a place in the future?
Not to mention the rest, just Qian Yuan quickly drew a map of the southeast coast, in which the direction of the main rivers, cities, and regions is basically not deviated, this is not something that ordinary people can do, fortunately, I am very skeptical, what kind of books does this eighteen-year-old Xiucai usually read? !
"The origin of the Japanese rebellion was very early, but it was not until the Jiajing period that there was a big disturbance, and the reasons are very complicated, but it is certain that this is directly related to the prosperity of maritime trade." Qian Yuan was too lazy to explain that the Age of Discovery, which was the root cause of the Maritime Rebellion in the southeast, and only explained it in the most simple and understandable words, "One of the important points is that the port cities that trade with the United States often do not become the hardest hit areas of the Maritime Rebellion, and in the final analysis, what the maritime merchants want is to make money, not to conquer the city." ”
"So in fact, Ningbo and Shaoxing have rarely been plundered by a large number of Japanese pirates in recent years." Wang Chen nodded repeatedly.
"Although there are no statistics......," Qian Yuan turned his head to look at Xingshi, "but in the past five years, there should be two places where the most Japanese invaders have invaded, one is Taizhou and the other is Jiaxing." ”
Fortunately, he hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement, he was as insensitive to data as the bureaucrats of his time, but these two place names did appear a lot.
"That is, starting from Ningbo, a part of the Japanese invaded Taizhou in the south, and once they were strangled by the army, they fled to the neighboring province of Fujian, and the Ming army did not dare to pursue across the border." Qian Yuan carefully analyzed: "The other part went north to plunder Jiaxing, this is because it is easier to land there and the harvest is greater, such as the robbery of Haiyan by Xu Weixue's subordinates in February this year. ”
Glancing at Wang Chen, who was concentrating, Qian Yuan accentuated his tone, "Now that Ligang has fallen, Wang Zhi is only spared, and there is a large army stationed in Ningbo and Shaoxing, so the next raids will not leave Taizhou and Jiaxing." ”
"Ahem." Xingshi couldn't help but complain: "Qian Gongzi means that the Japanese will either go south or go north......"
This sentence is full of irony, if people don't go south and north, can they still go west and retreat east?
Qian Yuan held a brush and drew a few more strokes on the top of Jiaxing on the map, writing the words "Songjiang Mansion" and "Huating".
Wang Chen's expression moved slightly, and the corner of his eye glanced at Xingshi, who shrunk his neck and regretted the taunt just now.
"Taizhou Mansion is already the southernmost part of Zhejiang Province, once it flows to neighboring provinces, it has nothing to do with Lord Zhongcheng, but once the Japanese in Jiaxing Mansion continue to go north...... "Qian Yuan nodded a little Songjiang," the consequences are unimaginable. ”
Fortunately, I thought about it and thought about it, and after enduring it, I still said: "But Jiaxing Mansion belongs to Zhejiang, and Songjiang Mansion belongs to Nanzhili......"
"Smack!"
A loud bang sounded in the study, and Qian Yuan was so frightened that he saw Wang Chen, who was still sitting firmly in the chair just now, rise up and burst into anger, "The reason why it is difficult to exterminate the Japanese invaders is that the flow is the most important thing, this official is ordered to patrol Zhejiang, how can he see the Japanese invaders invading the neighboring provinces!" ”
Fortunately, I was still stunned, and I was still saying that I didn't care about you when I went to Fujian.
But Qian Yuan had already complimented him: "Lord Zhongcheng is noble and righteous, and he sees thousands of miles. ”
Fortunately, he also came back to his senses, nodded vigorously in agreement, Fujian Province doesn't need to care, but how can Songjiang Mansion not care about it, now the court and the central government are fighting with Xu Huating in full swing, in case the Japanese rob Huating County to the bottom, the Xu family will die again, Dong Weng is impartial in the court, then the life will not be bad in the future, it will simply not be able to live!
Besides, Fujian Province was killed by the scourge of the Japanese invaders, and there were also Fujian governors who took the blame, but Songjiang Mansion was plagued...... A mere governor of Yingtian can't afford to carry this black cauldron, and he can't count on those bigwigs in Nanjing to carry it, although Dong Weng is only the governor of Zhejiang, but this pot has to be detained on him.
"This dynasty has always been a martial artist, which is really reasonable." Qian Yuan continued to praise: "I heard that Lord Zhongcheng was famous for "Rites" and ranked first among the five top candidates in the Zhejiang Township Test, but I didn't expect the Art of War to be so good. ”
Wang Chen sat down and raised the teacup, fortunately he was confused, why did he get involved in the art of war again?
"Once the Japanese robbers have succeeded in plundering Songjiang a few times, it is likely that a large number of Japanese will not go north from Jiaxing, but will land directly on the coast of Songjiang." Qian Yuan quickly drew two arrows, one from the coast of Songjiang to the west, and the other from Jiaxing Mansion to the north......"
Xingshi's scream blurted out, "Suzhou Mansion!" ”
"Yes, Suzhou is likely to become the hardest hit area." Qian Yuan nodded at Suzhou and looked up at Wang Chen, "Although there are beacons everywhere along the southeast coast, Suzhou Mansion is actually the most dangerous. ”
"The reason is very simple, Zhejiang is mountainous, it is easy for the Japanese to invade the coastal cities, but it is difficult to continue to move westward, but there is basically no obstacle from Songjiang to Suzhou, once the Japanese invaders land from Songjiang, it is easy to attack the territory of Suzhou along the Wusong River to the west."
"Once Suzhou, Jiaxing, and Songjiang are connected, not to mention the rest, the pressure on Hangzhou will be great...... And there are canals! "Fortunately, I was a little panicked, if someone else said this, it would be fine, but now the signs of the Japanese Kou wandering around have appeared, and the current situation is exactly the same as what Qian Yuan said half a month ago.
Wang Chen's face became more and more ugly, and he unconsciously stretched out his right hand to draw on the map, "Transfer troops to the north......
"As it should be." Qian Yuan solemnly said, "If there are no famous generals with heavy troops, the erosion of Jiaxing Mansion and Songjiang Mansion is inevitable, and then Suzhou Mansion will ......."
Although Qian Yuan has other intentions today, but these words are sincere, he roughly remembers the future of several major battles against the Japanese, except for Qi Jiguang in Taizhou, most of the rest are in Suzhou and Songjiang, for example, the victory of Wangjiangjing is in Suzhou, and the reason is that the Japanese will use the Songjiang coast as the main landing point.
If it can be suppressed in advance, it will be a relief for the residents of the southeast coast, although Qian Yuan is a businessman in his bones, but he is not stingy with these words.
Besides, if you move by yourself, in case you are robbed by the Japanese along the way, where to cry, if you mobilize heavy troops to garrison Jiaxing and Songjiang in advance, the road will be much safer.
"The troops may not be enough...... Xingshi smiled bitterly: "The Japanese bandits in Taizhou are becoming more and more rampant......
"Taizhou prefect Tan Zili, Jiajing 23 years jinshi, once served as the military department of the Langzhong, skilled in the art of war, wisdom and bravery." Qian Yuan interrupted loudly, "With him, Taizhou will not lose." ”
"Tan Lun Tan Zili ......" Wang Chen sighed faintly, looked up at Qian Yuan again, and finally nodded slightly.
Everyone is a fox, no one can hide from anyone, Taizhou is the hardest hit area, Wang Chen's mobilization of heavy troops in the past may not have any effect, but once Songjiang is lost, Wang Chen will definitely be regarded as incompetent by some people in the imperial court.
Anyway, the Japanese rarely attack the city, so if you grab it, you will grab it, so it will trouble Tan Zili for you to hold on to it again.
Qian Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead, you Tan Lun and Qi Jiguang later called "Qi Tan", there should be two brushes, it is not so easy to be killed by me.
