If the army does not move, how can the Kong Youde Rebellion that will occur in the future be resolved?

Faced with this problem, Army Commander Han Xiaobo gave a categorical answer: make arrangements in advance, control the development of the situation, and nip the crisis in the bud!

There is no doubt that Han Xiaobo's answer is not a passing grade, because it is too general to convince the participants.

Then Han Xiaobo can only explain in detail.

"I found that everyone has a misunderstanding: as long as the army is dispatched, it can solve the problem by reducing ten forces with one force. However, Kong Youde's rebellion was not something that could be solved by the army. ”

"There is a key link in this: Kong Youde rebelled, and which department is responsible for certification?"

After scanning left and right, and after waiting for a while, Han Xiaobo found that only a few people seemed to understand, so he said with a smile: "Dengzhou is not Yizhou, it is not a place where we can go if we want to, and we can open a film if we want to." That's right, Kong Youde is the opposite, but without the investigation and certification of the imperial court, and then explicitly order the transfer of troops, our side suddenly descended from heaven and ran to Shandong to fight with the 'friendly army', which is also a rebellion, and the nature is even worse! ”

As soon as Han Xiaobo said this, more people saw the problems in operation.

The seventeenth century was slow in the transmission of information.

For the crossing forces, Kong Youde's rebellion is also difficult to operate: even if the army is sent to the north in advance, it will not work if it is sent less, if it is sent too much, will the army go all the way through the state and county, run to Wuqiao Town to ambush it, and wait for Kong Youde's soldiers to steal the chicken?

After crossing the crowd, how to explain to the imperial court that there was no order to send a large army to Shandong to land and ambush Kong Youde?

Caught up in a hurry to meet a thief?

Is there a letter from the imperial court?

At that time, in the eyes of the imperial court, it was none other than your surname Cao who really came to rebel with ill intentions! ”

"Therefore, foresight is not a panacea, at least it must be used in the right place to be effective."

After Han Xiaobo summed up, he saw that some people were still not convinced, so he had to sigh and continue to deduce: "Even if we send a telegram to go through the formalities now and send the troops to Dengzhou with an excuse, then at least we will have to wait until Kong Youde rebels and the soldiers come to Dengzhou before we can make a move, right?" ”

"But at that time, what's the point of working together?"

"In history, after Kong Youde's rebellion, he defected from Beizhili and returned to the Shandong Peninsula, first capturing Linyi, Lingxian, Shanghe, and Qingcheng cities, and coercing the natives all the way to grow their momentum, and finally led the troops to Dengzhou."

"Immediately afterwards, Chen Shishi, the deputy general of Lushun in Dongjiang Town, who was good friends with Kong Youde, and Mao Chenglu (Mao Wenlong's son), the deputy general of Guangludao, immediately responded after hearing the news, and once divided half of Dongjiang Town, echoing the north and south of the Shandong rebels."

Han Xiaobo looked helpless: "Our highest interest in the north is social stability and the orderly flow of population. All our actions must be centered around this purpose. ”

"That is to say, the moment Kong Youde raised the anti-flag, our sending troops lost its meaning. Because the place is bound to erode, the social order is broken, and the bad influence has been spread. And these are not things that a single force can stop. ”

Hearing Han Xiaobo say this, Mu Longcheng on the side immediately added: "At that time, Kong Youde has changed from 800 cavalry to tens of thousands of miscellaneous troops, and our troops will defeat the other party at most, and the consequences will be even worse, because Shandong will be completely ruined by the rout." ”

In the end, Mu Longcheng asked rhetorically: "Can't you disarm Kong Youde's troops as soon as the army lands, because this guy is about to rebel because of a chicken?" ”

After a simple deduction by Han Mu and the others, everyone present finally realized that the so-called sending troops to the north to solve the twist of Kong Youde's department: thankless, and many of the links could not be explained to the imperial court.

At this time, Xia Xianze, the CEO of the company, who lives alone and has a lot of opportunities, probably to save time, also made a clear statement.

He first pushed away the stack of materials about the Dengzhou Rebellion in front of him, and after a deep sigh, he said, "I don't approve of sending troops either. Aside from the secondary factors such as excuses and finances, have you ever thought that this will give the imperial court to pull us to be cannon fodder outside the customs to justify it? ”。

"yes, here's the problem!" Han Xiaobo slapped his thigh, and the person with thick eyebrows and big eyes actually patted the horse extremely silky: "If you don't say it, Mr. Xia will see it clearly!" Didn't you say it before, let's watch the fire from the other side in the overall situation! At this juncture, what our Cao Zongbing should do is to find an excuse to disappear, instead of sending troops to the north to slap himself in the face! ”

——————————————————————————————

Now that the Lord Zhongtang has set the tone, the participants will no longer be concerned about sending troops to the north. Besides, Han Xiaobo's opinion is correct after all, and everyone now sees the unreliability of sending troops.

However, the question remains unsolved: what to do with Kong Youde's rebellion?

The next moment, Han Xiaobo opened the folder in front of him and took out a few pieces of office paper: "This is my recent communication message with Yao Jianshe of Tianjin Station and Xue Haiyuan of Beijing Station. ”

"In fact, as early as half a year ago, the General Staff had a close exchange of intelligence and situation deduction with the northern trio on the matter of Dengzhou. Therefore, there is a specialization in the art industry, and everything I say today has a basis. ”

After glancing at someone, Han Xiaobo handed Xia Xianze a copy of the document and threw the rest on the long table: "The northern trio, especially the construction of the Tianjin Station Yao in charge of the Dengzhou area, have agreed to the special plan of the General Staff for the Dengzhou matter, and have entered the preliminary preparation stage. ”

"The name of this project is 'Sandwich Rice.'"

As soon as Han Xiaobo's voice fell, someone immediately said: "What kind of plan are you, why did you come up with such a strange name?" ”

"There are two sides to everything." Han Xiaobo did not answer directly, and seemed to analyze the situation again: "The remnants of Dongjiang Town, represented by Kong Youde, are the victims of the collapse of the DPRK situation, which is regrettable; He was also an out-and-out feudal warlord and a representative of the backward armed forces. ”

"And our goal is not only to ensure a stable and peaceful situation in Shandong, but also to devour and digest that group of Dongjiang warlords...... Rat-throwing taboo, isn't this a sandwich rice what? ”

Xia Xianze did not touch the document.

As the head of government, he had actually heard the military's special reports on the Battle of Dalinghe and even Dengzhou, so he knew very well what was written on that document.

Seeing Han Xiaobotu's dagger, he didn't express his position lightly, but asked slowly: "Where is your plan?" ”

"Since it has not yet been approved, then at present, in terms of Jingshi, we can only prepare in advance. If everything goes well, when the war is over, our ally will know that General Cao is not willing to take the army to the troubled waters outside the pass this time. ”

"About Kong Youde." Han Xiaobo's eyes flashed at this time, and he finally said the core of the plan: "According to our plan, in this plane, he will not receive an order to go to Liaodong to rescue Zu Dashou." Because Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, received an order from the military department this time, he would ask him to prepare troops in order to join the 'reinforcements' from the sea, land from Liaodong, attack the flank of Jiannu, and encircle Wei to rescue Zhao. ”

"In this way, it's a draw from the bottom of the kettle." Han Xiaobo leaned back in the chair and said with a smile: "This is the use of prophetic awareness." Do you know that everything is hard and rigid, or is it a traverser? ”

Seeing Han Xiaobo's smug ridicule, someone immediately asked: "You are nothing more than transforming the pressure from the military to the political aspect, can it work?" Besides, didn't you say that you won't send troops, and what about the reinforcements on the sea? ”

Han Xiaobo no longer paid attention to irrelevant people at this time. He stared at Xia Xianze tightly and said solemnly: "Our ally, Lord Lord, has won all the way, now it's time to do something, right?" Ordering the Dengzhou army to take the sea route and take our ship, this is not a high requirement, right? ”

Speaking of which, Xia Xianze actually agreed to the plan, so he finally asked: "Your so-called sea reinforcements?" ”

"That's the merchant fleet. According to the plan of Tianjin Station, it was filled with grain garments, which were used to summon those named Huazi in Dongjiang Town. ”

Han Xiaobo finally summed it up clearly: "Let's do this, in fact, the troops are just pretending to shout a few words, and the real operation is the northern trio." The military set up the stage, and the politics and economy sang the opera. ”

Hearing this, Xia Xianze finally nodded and agreed with the "Sandwich Rice" plan: "Take your time, Sandwich Rice, I think it's just a water mill, don't worry." ”

With Xia Xianze's final decision, so far, a series of follow-up situations related to the future Ming Northern War, on the side of the crossing forces, a due strategic response plan has been made.

——————————————————————————————

And the day after the meeting, the pillar of the southern heavens, the pillar of the imperial court, the loyal and brave uncle Cao Chuan, officially announced an important news: in view of the fact that the Samoyed Kingdom of Haidong blocked the trade route today and robbed the Cao fleet, his old man had to urgently lead a large army to fight against the ministers.

Less than 10 days later, Cao Zongbing gathered an army at Baietan, outside Guangzhou, and swore an oath with Governor Xiong. After that, the Samoyed raiding fleet, consisting of two giant ships and dozens of large ships, sailed out of the harbor and headed straight for the South Seas, where he was nowhere to be found.

At the same time, in the distant north, Zu Dashou, the chief officer of the Guanning Army, was on the ruins of Dalinghe Fort north of Jinzhou, looking at the north with a solemn face. And at his feet were a large number of auxiliaries and civilians desperately building the fort wall.

At the same time, at the west gate of Liaoyang City, Emperor Taiji, the Great Khan of the Later Jin Dynasty, was taking turns with a group of Mongolian Taiji in leather robes to hold a waist hugging ceremony when the Manchus met the distinguished guests. And behind the distinguished guests was the rolling Mongol army.

Also at the same time, in a military camp in Hebei, a young man in a big red and fat jacket opened the door curtain and entered the house, holding a telegram in his hand: "My lord, there is a telegram." ”

"Bring it up!" Sitting on the top, the middle-aged man who was eating immediately put down his chopsticks and took the telegram.
