A 07
Yang Hao really didn't expect that the strategy he planned was flawed everywhere in Yue Xiang's opinion, and it was refuted one by one, but what Yue Xiang said still made some sense. What is hateful is that Zou Chuxian's group of Qinghe generals actually deceived themselves into a sturdy one, I thought it was a soldier who was loyal and brave, but I didn't expect it to be so filthy. There is a way to be a soldier, a nest of bears, led by this gang of people, this ordinary lower-level soldiers have long been ruined by them.
He had a good plan, but in the end it was ruined in the hands of this ** incompetent guy, Yang Hao felt like he had carefully prepared a dish, but in the end he found that there was a fly parked on it, and he felt frustrated and angry, but he was helpless.
Could it be that it is easy for me to make a comeback, and I have to be at the mercy of this group of guys when I come to Liaodong? Can you only count on this group of incompetent rice buckets? Should this be allowed to go on? Could it be that without their rotten eggs, Lao Tzu wouldn't be a ** cake?! Could it be that my dignified minister of economic strategy can't cure such a group of people?
"Humph! Ben Shuai didn't believe it, could they have to kill him? Could it be that if you kill them, this Qinghe City will be reversed? I don't know how thick the sky is, even outside this pass, it is also the land of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the national law of the Ming Dynasty! ”
Yang Ho was so excited that he slapped the table and stood up, but the tea bowl on the table fell and smashed on the ground with a crisp sound. The brocade guards standing guard outside the door heard the sound, and immediately two people jumped into the house, seeing that there was nothing wrong, they bowed down and asked Yang Hao what he commanded, Yang Hao waved his hand impatiently to send them out, and also felt that he was out of shape, so he sat back on the chair again.
"My lord is angry, this kind of thing has been around for a long time, and it has become a malpractice in the army, and it can never be solved by killing one or two people. In all dynasties, there are no various drawbacks in the army......"
"Hmph, can Ben Shuai turn a blind eye? What is the army? It is the pillar on which the nation rests! Now that the army has become like this, if it is not rectified, will it be watched to rot to death?! Ben Shuai didn't know it before, but now he knows, and if he doesn't care, it will be a dereliction of duty. This matter must be done sooner or later, and it is better to make up for it sooner than to regret it after fighting! Moreover, Liaodong is the Jingshi Ping Domain, the east refuses to build captives, the west rejects Mongolia, and the status is critical. ”
"What the lord said is very true, but the timing is not quite right, at this moment, the construction of the prisoners is advancing again and again, it is precisely when these generals use their lives, before the fight starts, they will behead their own generals, and the army's heart will be chaotic. These people have been in Liaodong for a long time, and the soldiers are like private soldiers, and their wives and children are all around, so it is not impossible to defect with their belongings in a hurry. The soldiers of Liaodong have been in arrears for a long time, and making ends meet has become a problem, which person has the heart to really go into battle to fight desperately? If something happens to the officials, it's no wonder that they don't break up. What my lord said appropriately, I can answer very clearly, the officialdom in Liaodong is already a self-contained system, and if you want to talk about rebellion, maybe there will really be a rebellion. Liaodong is the place where we have the most mutinies in the Ming Dynasty, Gao Huai was the whole stage of the mutiny, and the adults were too anxious, so maybe someone would really take a risk. ”
"It's really lawless, this soldier is a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, but the army of the country, how did he become their private soldier? With this official in charge, I don't believe that anyone dares to commit a rebellion! ”
"My lord, to put it mildly, we generals know you, and the soldiers below don't know a single word, so do they know who you are? When soldiers eat food, eat food and become soldiers, these soldiers come to be soldiers themselves to make a living, they only know who pays them food and pay them, they will listen to whom, although the adults are important ministers of the court, if there is no way to give them a full bite to eat, only scoop the military order to force them to go hungry and desperate, who will serve? If one or two people do not obey the order, the adult may be punished with a heavy punishment; If everyone in the army doesn't listen to orders, can the adults still kill them all? ”
"How can everyone in the whole army not listen to orders? Don't the soldiers know that the law of the country is not successful? The military order in the army is like a mountain, and when the military order is given, even the sword mountain and the sea of fire must move forward! That allows them to bargain. It's really unheard of, could it be that the army in Liaodong is so trained on weekdays? Is this how the generals and the soldiers can be brought together? ”
The more Yang Hao listened, the more he felt speechless, and his eyes couldn't help but widen. And Yue Xiang is face is as usual, the people in the current world, including Yang Hao, are all fans of the authorities, and they are still intoxicated with the pride of a great Chinese country, and they don't know about some things or know them but subconsciously don't want to believe it. And he knows the history of later generations, belongs to a bystander, and of course knows what the situation of the army was at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
It was a real hopeless feeling of the end of the road, somewhat similar to the feeling that later Chinese fans had about the Chinese national football team.
"That's right, adults may think it's appalling, but outside this Liaodong Pass, the army is all like this. These soldiers were originally ordinary people or scoundrels and idlers from all over the country, and they went to the army to mingle around, where did they know how to serve the court? And Liaodong is located at the border, wars are frequent, if you are not careful, your life will be guaranteed, only let them see where the interests are, will they willingly follow you to work, otherwise they would have been deserters. ”
Yue Xiang didn't know what Yang Hao said, eating empty salaries in the army was the only way to make money as an official, even among the Li family army that shocked Liaodong back then, this phenomenon was quite common. The phenomenon of desertion occurs in all places, let alone in a dangerous place like Liaodong.
He used to think that he was also a person who knew the army, and he thought that he also knew what was in the army, so there was nothing surprising. But after listening to Yue Xiang's words today, I actually felt like I was empowered.
He suddenly felt that the military didn't want to be as simple as he thought, and there were so many ways under the table that he didn't know anything. And these "unspoken rules" usually don't matter much, but at the critical moment, they can have such a big impact, and the impact is so obvious.
But Yue Xiang didn't finish yet.
"Besides, the court is in arrears, they have no food and clothing, and they can only rely on the officials above to give them some work, send some miscellaneous labor, and earn a mouthful of coarse grain to barely survive. To put it mildly, they only know that there is a governor, but they don't know that there is a court of the Son of Heaven. The words of the commander are like a holy decree to them, the adults have just arrived, they can't control the situation without soldiers in their hands, they can't restrain people's hearts without food in their bags, and they only rely on one mouth, do you think the old rough soldiers below who can't read big words will listen to you? ”
Yang Hao's face was blue and white, but fortunately, he had seen the formation before, and his courage was different from that of ordinary civil officials after all, and he had a gloomy face and did not admit defeat.
"If you don't listen, you have to listen! If the law and discipline in the army are so difficult to restrict, what kind of battle will they fight!? Just waiting to deal with these messy things from it will be too busy, what is the prohibition of orders, and what is the ruthlessness of military law? If you expect such a rabble, how can you sweep away the captives? To deal with this kind of thing, it is necessary to cut through the mess quickly, there is a way that people do not leave without a head, and clean up the leader, I don't believe that the people below can still make trouble. ”
"Cutting through the mess with a quick knife? Your Excellency said it well, but it's too late. If it was before the army was built, the adults naturally had no such concerns. Now that the Jurchen Tartars are advancing westward at any time, it is the time when the people are panicking, and these soldiers are stationed in this place of civil customs all the year round, even if it is not good, then it is used to cutting people and killing people, can you really kill one or two people to scare them? The habits formed for a long time cannot be changed overnight, these people are lawless, and the killing of their commander by the adults is equivalent to cutting off their way of life in the army, and it is strange not to have two hearts. If it provokes civil strife, wouldn't it be a bad thing for Jianyu to take advantage of the situation and enter. ”
"So, I still can't move him? Am I just going to sit back and watch these people continue to go on like this, and blindly tolerate it? Could it be that my dignified minister of economic strategy can't scoop up these people? I don't believe in it! ”
"My lord, with all due respect, you really can't touch them now. The army in the pass does not go out of the pass for a day, and you have to rely on the local soldiers and horses in Liaodong for a day. Moreover, almost all the cities in Liaodong are in this situation, and there will be soldiers. From top to bottom, from soldiers to officials, it has become an interdependent community of destiny, and if you turn your face for idle things, it will do more harm than good. To put it bluntly, Liaodong here, including Qinghe, is a group of warlords who guard the border for the imperial court here. They are suffering that the officers and soldiers in the interior have never endured, and the imperial court will naturally accommodate them. This kind of thing has been going on for decades, and if you suddenly attack this matter, I am afraid that the results will be undesirable to adults. ”
Yang Hao is a veteran of officialdom, who has been up and down for decades and knows what compromise is. Now that he wants no one and no money, he has no money, and the real situation in Liaodong has only only learned from Yue Xiang's mouth, if he thinks about it carefully, if he insists on doing things his own way, he will really lose a big loss because of a small one.
But he himself didn't know how long the reinforcements in the Guannai would have to grind, the official documents of the Ministry of War had already been sent out like snowflakes, and the provinces and provinces where the troops were scheduled to be transferred were still grinding, and the ministers in the court also had their own opinions on the conquest of Liao, and the war and peace had not yet been understood. Yang Hao even felt that if he had to follow this speed, he wouldn't be able to wait until next year to assemble the army.
This battle of conquest of Liao is the capital of his own turnover, and it is a springboard for himself to re-enter the center of the imperial court, for his own future and reputation, this battle must be fought. He even thought that if he could make the court aware of the crisis of the situation, it would be acceptable for Jianyu to launch another attack and capture a city, at least so that those lords and fellows could see the true face of Nurhachi.
But the current situation is really not optimistic, there are strong enemies outside, and there are so many problems inside his own people, he really feels that he is in the midst of internal and external troubles, and he is suffering day by day.
Is it true that I can only deal with such a rabble? Even if I give 100,000 soldiers, what can I do?
"Then in your opinion, are there any available soldiers in Qinghe City? Is it all such a rabble? When Yang Ho said this, he seemed to be talking to himself.
"If you go back to the big handsome, that's not necessarily. There are no unusable soldiers in the world, only unusable generals, and there is no absolute in everything. These soldiers seem to be hanging out, but in fact, everyone has a blood hidden in their hearts. If this blood can be channeled out, even lazy soldiers can be brave and fearless of death. When the Northern Song Dynasty crossed to the south, the Song army was able to change its previous weak appearance, and resisted the Jin and Yuan Dynasty for a hundred years, but why? It's just because they've found a battlefield that suits them. However, the northern iron cavalry that crisscrossed the Central Plains repeatedly ran into walls in the south of the Yangtze River, and the influence of the environment weakened their courage. ”
"Hmph, speaking of which, you've gotten around the same old routine. You're saying that these soldiers can only show their courage if they defend the city, right? As soon as they arrived outside the city, they turned from big insects to sheep? After all, you yourself don't approve of Ben Shuai's plan, do you? ”
"Back to the marshal, the lower officials feel that this plan is inappropriate, the team of Liaodong Good Field has been exhausted by Jianyu, and now the only thing left is to make the best use of them to hold the existing city. They are still more courageous in the city, and their wives are all in the city, and they are willing to work hard if they have this layer of involvement. Sent to the Raven Pass, but their hearts are still in Qinghe City, once there is something to do, what are they waiting for if they don't run? ”
"I heard that the families of all the big families in the city are quite brave, and your three hundred families also died in the Goatyu Fort with you, which shows their loyalty. Can't this force be used? ”
"My lord still doesn't fight these people's ideas, and the family members of each family say that it is good to serve the country, but in fact, they are all here to speculate and want to take advantage of loopholes. Although each was given an official position, each family belonged to its own family, and they all listened to the words of the original head of the family. If you want them to contribute, it is simply impossible without benefit. Moreover, their homes are also in the city, and it is impossible for them to leave the city for a long time. They are called real private soldiers, and they put the interests of each family first in everything. It seems that people like Xiaguan who are willing to scoop up their old books to fight are really rare. ”
"Neither can the officers and soldiers, nor can the private soldiers, do they just do nothing? Ben Shuai has scruples, I don't believe they don't have scruples. I don't believe they really dare to tear their faces with Ben Shuai, as you said, their net worth and lives are on my side of the Ming Dynasty, if they want to do anything, they have to think about it later. ”
"If it was before, it would have been as the adults said. But now, with ready-made examples in front of them, it's hard to guarantee that no one has anything else in mind. Fushun has already produced a Li Yongfang, and I heard that it is quite reused by Jianyu, and even his granddaughter married him, and the official was promoted to a deputy general. If other people feel cornered, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not learn from them. ”
"Li Yongfang......" Yang Hao's face sank when he heard this name, "Such a traitor who is greedy for life and afraid of death, Ben Shuai will capture him sooner or later and punish him in a canonical manner." ”
"My lord, Jianyu is a stubborn bandit, and the means of waiting for leisure will not be able to balance him. As long as the reinforcements enter Liaodong, the adults can control the situation in how they want to rectify the officialdom, and how to arrange the troops and how to attack and defend can also be arranged freely. ”
After talking for a long time, Yue Xiang felt that what he wanted to say was finished. To be honest, he felt that it was good for him to keep Qinghe City. He was thinking about how to get rid of Yang Hao's control all the time, he had now recognized the reality, he was alone, it was impossible to fight Yang Hao at all, and the balance of power was not at the same level at all. As for the treasure that was sacrificed, he could not accept his fate.
But he wants to prevent Yang Hao from unloading and killing the donkey, although there is the eunuch of the prison army, but who knows if there is any secret transaction between him and Yang Hao, these people turn their faces as fast as turning a book, and bet the treasure on them, then they really have no place to die.
In this situation, everything is on its own.
"Hmph, that's a good point, it's not appropriate to act rashly. I have only now figured out that if my plan succeeds, it will be very disadvantageous to you, no wonder you are so desperately opposed. Yang Hao pondered for a while, and suddenly sneered.
"Where did you start with this, the lower officials have to be promoted by the adults, and they have entered the scriptures to do errands, and such a great favor has long been engraved in the heart. Everything that Xia Guan said was out of the intention of putting himself in the shoes of adults. But I don't know what the lower officials have to do with it? Please forgive the officials for their ignorance, but I really don't understand what the adults said. ”
Yue Xiang changed his rebellious image just now, called himself a subordinate official, and behaved like a well-behaved subordinate, but he sighed in his heart, thinking that Yang Hao was Yang Hao in the end, and there were some things he could really think of.
"Hugh has to pretend here, you don't know when you are the marshal, you are afraid that the marshal will unload the mill and kill the donkey. For you, I'm afraid it's best to just hope that the imperial army will never get out. If this commander's plan is successful, he will inevitably take people to Anle Prefecture to open the treasure, if not, he will naturally scoop you up and sacrifice the flag. If there is, but you are afraid that Ben Shuai will break his word and enrich himself, yes or no? ”
Yue Xiang stood there still in a pretentious posture and did not speak, but looking at the expression on his face, it was obvious that he had acquiesced.
"So you naturally hope that the Qinghe garrison will not take the initiative to cause trouble, so that Ben Shuai will never have a chance to find the location of the treasure you said. If there is no chance of finding it, the army will have no money and food, and the movement will only be slower. If there are no reinforcements, the commander will definitely not be able to spread his hands and feet, and you will still have use value. This is back to square one, and it's really a good calculation. ”
"If you want to think like this, you can't help it. Since the adult has spoken, the lower official will also open the skylight and say bright words, yes, the lower official is really afraid that the adult will backtrack. With the power of an adult, it was easy to clean me up, and Ben and I didn't even have a chance to parry. ”
"Didn't you hold the prison army to support you?"
"Those Hongyang Sect people are unreliable, and my words to them are just vain and wronged. I don't believe in their round ancestors, why do they really help me, they are just using me. ”
"Hmph, you can see it clearly. It seems that Ben Shuai underestimated you after all, but since you said so, it seems that you will have to wait a while if you want to get rid of Ben Shuai's control. ”
"What the adults are worried about is just Qinghe and treasures, which does not conflict with the purpose of the lower officials, if the adults are relieved, the lower officials have a plan, which can make both worlds perfect. The soldiers of Qinghe can still contain Jianyu according to the plan, so that they will not be able to go north to Yehe, and the adults can also go to dig for treasures without worrying about danger. ”
"Oh, what's the plan?"
"Appoint me as the chief general of Qinghe." Yue Xiang clasped his hands into fists and bowed down.
