Chapter 631: Before
The situation in the city of Jingshi was in full swing at this time, not to prepare for the war to arrest the Ding apportionment, but the ministers of the court set off a liquidation movement, to investigate the people responsible for the current decadent situation, and the spearhead was directly aimed at the eunuchs in the city, and the name of the traitorous party was the simplest to buckle on the eunuch party.
Pity these eunuchs, after ten years of Jiajing, when they didn't have any power at all, they did treacherous things there, but these charges all fell on them.
To tell the truth, the eunuchs of the Ming court, who have been operating as the center over the years, have done everything in a decent manner, they are all administrators who have been trained since childhood, and they are professional and professional in doing government work, at least there will be no mistakes, but many civil officials and imperial examinations have come up.
I only know how to read and don't know practice, and I often rely on my master and little officials to do things, but whoever has the right to speak in this world will master the truth.
Emperor Jiajing still knows what's going on in his heart, but in the current situation, he must be obedient to the civil officials, although the situation in Jiangnan has been cut off, it is obviously already collapsed, Luanzhou Zhou Lin was martyred, and hundreds of thousands of Ming troops were scattered, which had already shocked and frightened the Jingshi.
That is, the emperor and the ministers of the Western Party had a blind superstition and belief in the newly trained army of the mighty battalion, believing that this army was already a strong army in the world, with a rare degree of elite in the world, and that such an army would not have any opponents.
At present, the center of the Beijing division has been ignored, and the border armies of Shaanxi and Shanxi have not left the slightest defensive strength, and a large number of them have been transferred to the side of the Beijing division.
The hundreds of officials in the court were impassioned, and the officials of the six Lang Guantang wrote a number of articles, one was to reprimand the eunuchs for misleading the country, the second was to say that the demons of Huazhou would be angry and resentful, and the third was that they were willing to sacrifice their lives for the country and go to the front line to supervise the army and participate in the war.
For most of the ministers and officials in the center of the Ming Dynasty, Huazhou, this inexplicable political system, is like popping out of a stone, it is unreasonable, and it is unusually powerful.
The eunuchs misled the country, and Emperor Jiajing also agreed with this attitude, and the imperial horse prison battalion led by Deng Hua attacked everywhere in the city, copying the eunuchs' properties everywhere, and the confiscated money was escorted to the front line as military funds, but this measure was also a quick applause for the civilian officials.
In recent years, the industry and commerce have flourished, the eunuchs have opened many shops and workshops in the city, and many civilians in the city are living by working in it, although because of the war outside the city, these industries are not enough, but this copy, the common people feel that their future life is so broken, everyone is resentful, but they dare not say anything, because the Jinyi Guard, Dongchang, the Criminal Department, and the various yamen of Shuntianfu are all under martial law in the whole city, who has any criticism of the government, or is talking about the war, Immediately they were captured and taken to prison, or sent to the front as cannon fodder.
During the war in the south of the Yangtze River, the supply of Cao Yun relied on in the north was intermittent, and by the end of November it was almost completely cut off, and the supply of Lu Bing's army made the officials of the household department very troubled, but the number of Huazhou military horses that did not cover their movements at all was still increasing.
Lu Bing built a defensive line in the area of Jingshi and Jixian, and the Huazhou military horses who confronted him were not in a hurry to attack, but were gathering and mobilizing. Lu Bing also thought about taking the initiative to attack, but every time he sorted, his head was broken in front of the Huazhou army, and he didn't dare to move later.
I just hope that the border armies of Shanxi and Shaanxi will come over and strengthen their own strength, and at least they will not start a decisive battle until they have the advantage, or the situation in which they think they have the advantage.
The logistics system of the Huazhou Army is still very good in theory, but it is also limited by the transportation conditions of this era, so Huazhou used a stupid method, and the army led by Liu 13 broke through Luanzhou all the way and cleared the remnants of the Ming army before and after Shanhaiguan and Luanzhou.
Then, through various means of sea and land transportation, before the Bohai Sea was frozen, the grain and livestock accumulated in the various agricultural reclamation areas and pastoral areas outside the customs were concentrated in the customs area, with Luanzhou as the center, it has become a large warehouse group, and a huge amount of logistics materials are stored here.
Jiang Feng, as the commander of the Chinese army, did the work of Captain Si Su, that is, the work of the logistics chief, after the army he led arrived in Luanzhou, until everything here was complete, he continued to advance south.
This is also why although the Huazhou army has been winning, but there is no speed of advancement, the soldiers have to eat, the war horses have to eat grass, the army is not a machine, later generations of military experts said, the war depends on logistics, to the Ming Dynasty can also be said, the war depends on grain and grass.
It is precisely because of such a logistical supply that Liu Shisan's troops are fighting without any worries, even so. The pace of this army's advance is not called rapid.
There are some almost miraculous armies in history, which travel hundreds of miles a day, march at great speed, sweeping across the north and south of the river, but the supply of these armies is maintained by relying on local looting.
If the Huazhou army entered the customs, they were all in the Han family, and their own clans were fighting, if they were too ruthless and left no room for error, I am afraid that the future rule would also encounter such and such troubles, so Sima engaged in the and pro-military camp was also racking his brains, to weaken the rule of the Ming Dynasty, but not to let the local chaos be too chaotic.
Originally, in the process of such a war of large armies, in the process of rising everywhere, it was easy to have the kind of scorched earth in the world like the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, like hell. But now, there is chaos in various places, but everywhere is a big clan and the government are fighting openly and secretly, and the people of Li on the ground are at most having a sad life and are just a little more worried.
For example, at the beginning, except for some places along the coast and outside the Guan, people all scolded Huazhou as a chaotic minister and thief, destroying this hard-won peaceful and prosperous era.
With the continuous victories of the Huazhou army, occupying a large area of territory in the north and south of the Yangtze River, the people began to have what Jiajing was not the direct descendant of Chengzu Zhu Di, and the position was not correct, and the heavenly soldiers would be supported in the future, and so on, among them, there is a rumor that is the most reliable, that is, the king of Jing who disappeared in Linyi is the king of Huazhou, he is the biological descendant of Emperor Hongzhi, and he is coming to take back the throne this time.
If this news is seen by the Jing Wang family, who is a small landowner on the island of Huazhou, they will be scared half to death, King Jing seems to be very fond of this kind of life that is not rich in the past, but much freer than before, and once entrusted the civil officials of the 33rd Wei to bring a letter to Liu Shunhua and Jiang Feng, saying that he just wants to live here for the rest of his life, and does not want to have anything to do with the Zhu family, this letter reached Liu Fangrui's hands, at that time, Su Guanyue's child was sick, and the whole family was worried, Liu Fangrui was also moved by compassion, Let Sima engage in the peace camp and no longer pay attention to the old and young of the King of Jing's family.
In addition to the part of Shaanxi that is responsible for the defense on the three sides of the grassland, there is no trace of the barbarian cavalry, so the border armies in various places can be mobilized, only the border armies of Shaanxi and Shanxi cannot move, if they move, the Mongols in the west will take advantage of these passes to enter the void is a disaster.
The officials and soldiers in Shanxi and Shaanxi, although they also hate Huazhou, but they also know one thing in their hearts, the other party is a Han people, no matter how they fight, they have to leave some way for the people of Li to live, if these beasts on the grassland come in, what they do is to kill them all and lose their conscience.
Therefore, after receiving the order of the imperial court to transfer the military horses at the border of Shanxi and Shaanxi, the people who were transferred away before were not considered to be injured, but they had to be transferred next, but the most basic defense was evacuated, what should the Mongols do when they came in, it was better for the Huazhou army to win?
Of course, this can not be said nonsense, the envoy from the Beijing division is armed with the sword of the Son of Heaven and a full set of runes, with a brocade guard, the slightest doubt about the order to transfer troops will be imprisoned for the crime of rebellion and collusion with the thieves, at this time, the provinces still have a deep sense of awe for the center, although it is full of reluctance, or transfer troops towards the Beijing division.
Shaanxi Shanxi army is empty, a little knowledgeable people are worried, for fear that the Mongols will come in, although the west of the Yilibari is not stronger than the Tatars and the Tile, but in the Western Regions has been entrenched for nearly a hundred years, there is also a strong force, that is, relying on the Shaanxi border army to resist to the death did not let them enter Shanxi, at this time, the main force of the border army was transferred to the area of Beijing and North Zhili, is not the other party seized the opportunity.
However, their fears never came true, and the Mongol tribe of Yilibari was in the midst of a catastrophe, and this tribe was able to mobilize about 20,000 horsemen and horses, but was now in danger of being wiped out, and the terrible Huazhou army came, which is said to be the army that destroyed the Tatars and the Tile Thorns.
This army consisted of only 5,000 men, including about 3,000 non-Han Chinese, but the Yilibari tribe did not have the slightest ability to resist, and the firearms, armored cavalry, high morale, and well-trained troops were enough to sweep away the armed herdsmen of Yilibari.
After a long time of calm on the grassland, chickens and dogs jumped again......
