Chapter 1296 - Fighting for the Country!
Hurry up and get rich? Is it to take advantage of the rest of the Ming army in southern Shaanxi to let the Ming army under the governor of Yunchuan Gui finish the battle in one go? The armies under the Governor of Yunnan, Guichuan are all southern armies, and they are not the same system as the northern armies of the Ming Dynasty......
Zhu Cihong thought to himself: Can't you, the first assistant of ZTE, take a good look at the accounts of the household department and the Ministry of Industry? Let the two groups of profiteers become like this, how can they leave their names in history as Ming Zhuge Liang in the future? Can it be written in the history books, and Zhuge Liang can't even read the account book?
"When it comes to war, you can't covet a quick word!" Zhu Cihong pondered, "Now that all the armies in southern Shaanxi are exhausted, they continue to make up for rest, and the new governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi has not yet been decided...... I'm afraid that before the summer, there is no way to fight again. β
"Your Majesty," Wei Zaode reminded in a low voice, "the rebellious people of Huya Mountain are now advancing west along Jingmen Mountain, and may be able to use them. If they can reach Chungju and Shizhu through Shizhouwei's territory, and then take Chungju or Shizhu by surprise, then the elite soldiers under the Governor of Yunguichuan will have a chance. As long as Zhongzhou, Shizhu, Fengdu, and Fuzhou can be taken, the Yangtze River waterway can be cut off, and the communication between Kuizhou and Chongqing can be cut off, the hole from the East Road to Sichuan will be completely opened. When the time comes, the army will attack from the northeast, and the Liukou will have no choice but to abandon Sichuan and leave! β
Wei Zaode is the first assistant, of course he knows the inside story of the Huya Mountain riot...... However, he should not have thought of the idea of a surprise attack on Chungju or the stone pillar. Zhu Cihong knows this Wei Shoufu's way too well, he is an abacus bead, he has nothing to advocate if he moves it.
Today's idea must have been Ma Shiying's idea!
As soon as Wu Sangui died, the momentum of the Wu family plummeted, and among the Northerners, there were no enough people to suppress the formation, and everyone's minds were alive......
"Okay," Emperor Zhu smiled and nodded, "This method is very good!" I turned around and discussed with Li Yan, Feng Sizhong, Zhu Chunjie, and Pan Yuchen to see if it could work. By the way, you and Ma Shiying should also discuss together! β
Although he understands it in his heart, the current Zhu Cihong will not participate in the party struggle - although the party struggle is not good, there is no way to avoid it, and it can only be guided and controlled.
At present, the two parties in the north and the south are fighting for the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to the country, and they both have the ability to make meritorious contributions, so they are not fighting blindly. So such partisanship is still tolerable...... So there's no need to stop it.
Of course, the Nanren Party cannot be allowed to swell too much through the battles of Sichuan and Yunnan.
The balance between the DPRK and China still has to be maintained!
The afternoon of the second day was originally a "military meeting," a military meeting attended by the generalissimo's office, the military department, and the navy. The location is also in the Qinzheng Hall, but not in the main hall, but in the west hall of the Qinzheng Hall, also known as the annex building of the Map Hall.
Because of Wu Sangui's illness and death before the army, the generalissimo's mansion and the military attachΓ©s in the northerners in the military department all looked a little depressed.
Emperor Zhu did not mention the battle of Sichuan as soon as he came up, but talked about Wu Sangui's funeral.
Of course, it was a beautiful burial, buried next to the imperial mausoleum of Wolong Mountain in Chuzhou - the so-called Wolong Mountain is actually the general name of a series of hills in Chuzhou. It is the feng shui treasure found by Emperor Zhu's feng shui master in the first year of Hongxing, and it is said that it can protect the national Zuo for up to 300 years of the Ming Dynasty (excluding the first year of Hongxing).
Before Wu Sangui's tomb is completed, Wu Sangui's coffin will stop at the Wusheng Temple in Wuhan, which is not for Guan Erye, but for the Confucian martial saints. Although Wu Sangui was not killed in battle, his death was still related to the war for the country, so he also had the qualifications to be canonized, and he would be a little saint of Confucianism in the future, and he had to be placed in the Wusheng Temple to enjoy the incense.
Of course, a grand funeral will be held for Wu Sangui! None of the high-ranking officials and nobles in Wuhan can escape, they all have to follow them!
Zhu Cihong himself has to take a copy, no matter what, he has to take a hundred thousand taels of silver!
In addition, the person who presided over Wu Sangui's funeral must be Kong Yinzheng, the Holy Duke of Yan, and he had to let him handle it for Wu Sangui, and don't follow the specifications of the Duke of Guo, and then raise it to the next level, just follow the specifications of the county king. Presumably, Lao Wu Quanxia will be very happy if he knows about it.
And then there's the nickname!
"How to decide on Wu Sangui's nickname?" Zhu Cihong asked, "The first word must be Wu, let's decide the second word now, all the secretaries will talk about it." β
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Wu Sangui won a big victory first, opened the door to Sichuan for the imperial court, and then died of illness, which can be called a Ning."
The answer to this question is the military advisor Feng Sizhong, this Wu Ning is the first in the name of the military generals of the Ming Dynasty, and in the history of the Ming Dynasty, only Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan County, got the name of Wu Ning.
"Wu Ning is not suitable," Zhu Cihong rejected Feng Sizhong's proposal, "Although Sangui has worked hard and made great achievements, he cannot rank first in the Wu family. β
Feng Sizhong understood that the first hero of the Wu family that Emperor Zhu said was Wu Sanfu - Wu Sangui was a third minister in the end, and his merits really could not be compared with Wu Sanfu. So Wu Wuning can only be Wu Sanfu......
"Wu Yi is not suitable, there is already a Wu Wuyi (Wu Xiang)," Feng Sizhong said again, "There is only Wu Min or Wu Hui left." β
"Just use Wu Min!" Zhu Cihong said, "Those who are sensitive, they are sick!" Sangui is quick to use troops, no matter whether he advances or retreats, the speed is fast, and he doesn't want to move slowly in the battle of Luoyang, so he will die of illness in front of the army......"
Emperor Zhu opened Chrysostom, and Wu Sangui will be Wu Wumin in the future, and Wu Min is also a beautiful man!
"Let's talk about Irikawa again!" Zhu Cihong said, "What do you think of the Generalissimo's Mansion? Is it now an opportunity to defraud Chungju and Seokjo? β
"Your Majesty," Feng Sizhong said, "the minister thinks that it is feasible to defraud Zhongzhou and Shizhu. However, relying on the troops under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Yunnan-Guichuan alone is still not enough to take the whole Sichuan. After all, the northern capital of the Liukou is in Chongqing Prefecture, where heavy troops are stationed, and Chongqing has been built into an iron wall.
The most that was done by taking Chungju and Seokzhu was to attract the attention of the Liukou army from the northern front to the eastern front, and to create conditions for the success of the surprise attack on the northern front. β
A surprise attack on the northern front has been being prepared, and the specific plan is to attack the Sichuan basin through Songpanwei. A division of the Guards has already gone to the plateau and is adapting to the highland climate while waiting for the weather to warm up.
Zhu Cihong looked at Ma Shiying again, "Ma Qing, you are the old minister of the two governors of Yunnan, Guichuan, what do you think?" β
Ma Shiying said with a smile: "If the Kuizhou Mansion changes hands, the Liukou will definitely gather heavy troops in Chongqing." However, it will not be possible to exhaust Chengdu's troops, and the risk of going south on the Songpan Plateau is still not small. If you want to ensure the success of the surprise attack, you have to send another army from Guizhou to fight Qujing and threaten the Yunnan nest of the Liukou. β
"Is the strength of the Governor of Yunguichuan enough?" Zhu Cihong asked.
The troops under the Governor of Yunnan, Guichuan and Sichuan are relatively small, and there are only three armies, including the Yunnan Army, the Sichuan Army, and the Guizhou Army. The Sichuan Army is the army of Xichuan Town, and it is the main force under the Governor of Yunnan, Guichuan. The Guizhou Army is the army made up of the local military households and Tusi Haoqiang in Guizhou.
The total strength of the three armies was only 70,000 or 80,000. Moreover, the combat effectiveness is weak, and the Dashun army can only take a defensive position.
"It's not enough," the military advisor Feng Sizhong said, "The three armies of Yunnan, Guichuan and Sichuan only have a maximum of 80,000 people, and it is not easy to take Zhongzhou, Shizhu, and Fuzhou, and it is not enough to attack Yunnan at the same time." However, the battle of Yunnan cannot be fought for a while, and there is still time to transfer troops to Guizhou, and two new army divisions entering should pose a threat to Qujing! β
Zhu Cihong nodded with a smile and said with a smile: "Then the Generalissimo's Mansion and the Ministry of War will formulate a strategy!" β
He did not ask Ma Shiying's opinion again, and now the military affairs of the Ming Dynasty do not need to be interrogated by the ministers of the cabinet, and he has his own plan for the generalissimo's office, the military department, and the navy department. The reason why Ma Shiying was invited to come over was just because there were undercover agents of the Criminal Department among the "righteous army" who were flowing westward along Jingmen Mountain, so Ma Shiying, the secretary of the Criminal Department, had to be followed.
