Chapter 132: Du Ruhui's analysis

"Exactly." Li Shimin's brows relaxed a little, he knew that Du Ruhui had never said anything without words, and since he said so at this time, it naturally made sense.

"Your Majesty, Emperor. In fact, the minister's reason is very simple. Du Ruhui first asked Li Shimin a question: "Dare to ask the emperor, if you give me a ranking in the ten combat power of the Tang Dynasty, how many soldiers and horses in Jiangnan Province should be ranked?" ”

"Naturally, it is ......" Li Shimin suddenly stuck, Jiangnan and Shannan and Huainan are located in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, and they do not have the same borders with foreign countries as Longyou Dao, Hebei Dao, Hedong Dao, Lingnan Dao, and Jiannan Dao, and they have the heavy responsibility of guarding against foreign enemies, and they are not as responsible for defending Gyeonggi as Henan Dao and Guannai Dao, these three Dao are purely local defense troops, and their combat effectiveness can be imagined, among which Jiangnan Dao will never go beyond the eighth place even if it does not rank last.

It's just that after all, they are all their own courtiers, and Li Shimin is really hard to say this, so he can only be silent.

"That's it, Jiangnan Province's military strength ranks third from the bottom at most, even if such an army reaches Lingnan, what can it do except waste food and grass?" Li Shimin is not easy to say, Du Ruhui has no one who has this taboo, and said bluntly: "Now the army of Lingnan Province can't beat the Baitou defense of Yuzhou, even if you add a 100,000 army of Jiangnan Province, what's the use?" Could it be that the emperor thinks that the combat power of the army of Jiangnan Province can be stronger than that of Lingnan Province? ”

Li Shimin defended in a low voice: "But one more person, there is always one more force, right?" After all, this is an army of 100,000, even if it is used to support the field, at least it can overpower Baitou and Lin Yi in terms of momentum, right? ”

"I don't need it at all." Du Ruhui picked up the Lingnan emergency report, pointed to one of the pages and said: "Your Majesty, please see, what is said here is very clear, the reason why the Lingnan Dao army could not break through the Baitou army stationed in Suizhou is purely because there is an army called the death battalion in Baitou, this elite force has 5,000 people, and the combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and it is precisely at this time that a small-scale plague broke out in our army, and the combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, so it did not recapture the city." ”

"So what?"

"Your Majesty, please continue to look here." Du Ruhui flipped forward again, and said: "Your Majesty, please see, the similarity with the Baitou Army is that there was also an army called the Jumping Battalion in the Linyi Army, and its combat effectiveness was no less than that of the White Head, but this army was wiped out against the Shenji Battalion of His Royal Highness the King of Shangyue, and the whole army was wiped out - the Shenji Battalion dispatched only a hundred people in that battle, and the wolf who was killed in the 1,000 Jumping Battalion rushed forward, and in the end only more than 100 people escaped, but they were chased and killed by the rank of Jiaozhou Army, and the whole army was wiped out. ”

"Aiqing means ......" Li Shimin somewhat understood what Li Zhen meant.

"The minister's meaning is very simple, there are 30,000 young soldiers, and each battalion is no worse than the Shenji battalion. With the protection of the young army, His Royal Highness King Yue is not in danger at all. If His Royal Highness King Yue wants to retreat, at least Lin Yi and Baitou's army will not be able to stop His Royal Highness King Yue's footsteps. He didn't come back purely because he didn't want to come back. Du Ruhui said: "So our support for the soldiers and horses now is simply icing on the cake, and it is just a waste of money and food." Now His Royal Highness the King of Yue needs more logistical support, especially the support of medicine and doctors, Nanyang is full of miasma, mosquitoes are everywhere, and there is a plague rampant, and the consumption of medicine is particularly huge, not to mention the outbreak of plague in Jiaozhou, which prevented our army from recovering Yuzhou, and also needs medicine support. ”

"It makes sense, thanks to Aiqing's order, I almost went astray." Li Shimin laughed and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Aiqing once." The order went down, and ordered the three governors of Jiangnan Province, Jiannan Province, Lingnan Province, and Lingnan Province to do their best to collect medicinal materials, recruit famous doctors, and send all of them to Jiaozhou, and try their best to treat the plague, and there must be no mistakes. ”

"The emperor is wise."

"Hahaha......"

There are no secrets in the palace, and after half a day, what happened in the palace has been spread all over Chang'an City, and everything is said, but on the whole, it is developing on the good side, and the previous rumors are also self-defeating.

"Hahaha...... What am I talking about? His Royal Highness King Yue doesn't have to rebel at all, this world will be his sooner or later. ”

"Admiral Tiance, the emperor really cultivated His Royal Highness King Yue as a prince, right? I'll just say it. ”

"Who said that His Royal Highness King Yue was going to rebel? Stand up and show me one? ”

"This is already Admiral Tiance, and he is still qualified to open a mansion on his own, what is the difference between this and the prince? Do you still use rebellion? ”

"By the way, since they are all admirals of Tiance, why don't you just canonize the crown prince?"

"Isn't that clear? His Royal Highness King Yue is not in Chang'an, and besides, the former prince has just been deposed, so it is not appropriate to canonize the prince at this time. ”

“……”

This is neutral, and if there is neutrality, there will naturally be those who support Li Zhen.

"Oh, King Yue has been named the general of Tiance, and the next step is the crown prince, right?"

"If King Yue really becomes the emperor, then our good days will come."

"I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Yue has gone to attack Nanyang, and it is said that although the environment there is bad, the land is fertile."

"What is the value of land fertilizer? The problem is that there will never be a famine. ”

"Oh? How so? ”

"The best thing in that place is that the grain is high-yielding, do you know the rice? It's three crops a year. ”

"What? Three ripe? If we were to farm, it wouldn't ......."

"If the locals are industrious, the fertile land and the three-cropping rice will be poured for them, but the real excesses are that the people there are all a bunch of lazy people."

"I've also heard that even if you don't work for a year, you can't starve to death just by eating wild fruits, and even if you plant crops, you just throw them in the field, and there is no one to weed and fertilize them at all, just like that, the rice can have a high yield."

"Oh my God, how can there be such a person? If this land is good to me, if I serve it well, then the grain yield will not be turned upside down......"

"Didn't His Royal Highness King Yue go to fight? The monkeys of the South Seas don't deserve such a good place, and that place must be ours. ”

"God bless, His Royal Highness King Yue must be victorious and return with a full load, even if he doesn't defeat Nanyang, he must return safely."

"Yes, old guys, let's go to Wuzhuang Temple together and pray to Zhenyuan Daxian for His Royal Highness King Yue."

"Yes, Zhenyuan Daxian will definitely protect His Royal Highness King Yue, and I will also go to pray for blessings."

"Add me one."

"I'll go too."

“……”

Of course, some people support and some people oppose it, Li Zhen is not silver, it is impossible for everyone to like it, and a considerable number of people who hate Li Zhen are Confucian scholars, as well as some children of the family.

"The emperor is really confused, he is too good to his son, what is wrong with Lord Tang Jian? just expressed a different opinion, and was dismissed from his official position by the emperor. ”

"You know what? King Yue had already invaded Linyi, but as soon as he entered Linyi, Baitou broke the city of Yuzhou behind him, and King Yue's retreat was broken. ”

"Hmph, the back road has been cut off, even if he doesn't die this time, at least he will have to suffer a big defeat, I want to see how he comes back to face the Tang Father after the defeat?"

"Hmph, anyway, I can't get used to him, as a prince, I don't cultivate Wende, but I like strange tricks and tricks, battlefield conquest, if he succeeds to the throne, my Tang Dynasty will be over."

"It is said that now the enemies on all sides of the Tang Dynasty have moved, and the emperor doesn't even dare to mobilize a soldier to support King Yue, I want to see how long he can support without help?"

"But this guy still has the ability, if he wasn't too deviant, then maybe I would appreciate him."

"Hmph, my Confucianism has been inherited for thousands of years, and since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools, I have always dominated the world, how can I subvert it if I want to?"

“……”

I'm sorry, I want to decorate my home, I ran for a day today, and I was late, I'm sorry.
