Chapter 19 The Three Bureaus (II)
This is already related to Chen Wen's next strategic direction, at least before that, whether it is to go west to Jiangxi to obtain the right to enter the Yangtze River waterway on Poyang Lake, or to go north to Anhua Town and Hangzhou garrison Eight Banners decisive battle, or to attack Wenzhou to obtain access to the sea, it is a very good choice. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoBut if you integrate into the three rounds of the catalpa, the direction and strength are afraid that you can't help yourself.
Chen Wen's hesitation also infected Sun Yu, who was sitting under him, although the ice cube face melted a little, but the IQ was not converted into liquid and excreted from the body. This plan sounds like a very successful plan for him, who is not familiar with military affairs, but once he reaches an alliance with Qian Qianyi, then he will be strategically involuntary, and he can still understand this reason.
"Mu Weng, this matter is very important, and besides, the army is still in Quzhou. Why don't you wait a few days before we deliberate? ā
Seeing that Sun Yu had inserted a lever, Qian Qianyi also knew that such a major event could not be decided in one breath, but Deng Qixi and Yao Zhizhuo, who came with him, were displeased. After all, Qian Qianyi's identity is there, and he came to ask for advice from a junior who can be his grandson at an age, and he is still a martial artist, so he just hesitates, and even asks others to speak on his behalf, which is really rude.
But at this moment, I saw that Chen Wen's lowered eyelids suddenly rose, and his gaze became aggressive, not only Deng Qixi, but even Yao Zhizhuo, who had been fighting against the Qing Dynasty for many years, couldn't help but be surprised, but Qian Qianyi, who had been in the sea for a long time, was unmoved, and even added some joy.
What Mu Weng said is very true, if you can promote the confluence of the southwest and southeast Wang Shi to cut off the Yangtze River, it will take a few years at most, or a year or two at least, and you can complete the northern expedition of the army. And once the Tartars lose the southeast, they will not be able to support the bannermen who do not work and the officials and green battalions of the northern provinces......"
Whether it is to refute the elders as a junior, or to refute the civilian officials as a military general, this is something that cannot be recognized in this era. For the sake of His Holiness, there is no need to deny Qian Qianyi's strategic layout and do such thankless things for the sake of his tongue.
As Governor Sun said, the army of the last general is still besieging Quzhou, and this time he vows to take Chen Jin, a traitor. But Chen Jin is also the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian of the Tartars, if he dies, the Tartar court will definitely send another one, although the last general now holds the initiative, but the Tartars' strength is still far superior to me, and the strategic direction is bound to be affected to a certain extent......"
If you don't refute, you don't refute, but you have to leave yourself a space to turn around. Although even if he doesn't say it, once the Qing army is dispatched, he will definitely need to respond, and Qian Qianyi will not be able to say a word when it goes against the plan, but in fact, there is no need for this at all.
Because, in fact, there are two most important problems in this, two problems that have been ignored by Qian Qianyi and others.
The first one is time!
"It's thousands of miles long. Brother Ziqiu arrived in Guiyang, and I think it will be next summer. What does Mu Weng mean, is he going to let the last general go west to Jiangxi to meet the southwest king, or something else? ā
Hearing this, Qian Qianyi and the others were stunned, there were thousands of miles between Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the southeast and Guiyang in the southwest, and it was also thousands of miles of heavily defended by the Manchu Qing Dynasty along the way. After they left Jinhua, they had to discuss with some anti-Qing people in Jiangbei, and then set off, it was extremely difficult to arrive in Guiyang next summer, and when they completed the contact, they would return, and they might spend the whole year next year.
For a year-long period, the southeast is a matter of great importance, and the Qing army will inevitably take action. Moreover, it is unknown whether Sun Kewang, the leader of the Southwest Ming Army, agrees with this plan, and it is obviously unrealistic to rush to refine the strategic plan now.
Through history, Chen Wen knew that Sun Kewang was a supporter of this strategy, but Qian Qianyi and others did not. At this moment, Chen Wen didn't even point to the map, but just unfolded a point that they had inadvertently ignored, which directly made everyone present stunned. Yao Zhizhuo and Deng Qixi are not fools, and Qian Qianyi is a person with superior IQ, Chen Wen made a little move, and they immediately understood that there was actually no point in discussing strategic issues immediately.
For a while, the people who needed time to consider changed from Chen Wendeng to Qian Qianyi and others. It wasn't until a long time later, when Chen Wen had already begun to ponder whether to invite Qian Qianyi and others to taste the ham dishes of Jinhua Mansion in the evening, that Qian Qianyi gave up his plan to continue to guide the country.
"After a year, what are the chances of Furen winning?"
"Muweng, as far as the last general knows, the Tartars in Jiangxi are mainly concentrated in Jiujiang, Nanchang and Nanjiang, and most of the other provinces have only a few hundred people. The last general has already sent scouts to the Guangxin Mansion in western Zhejiang, southern Zhejiang, northern Fujian and Jiangxi, and there will be actions after recovering Quzhou. As for a year later, if the southwest royal division breaks through the defense line of Huguang Tartar and enters the Yangtze River valley, the last general will send a large army to the west to open up the waterways of Poyang Lake and the Yangtze River. ā
In history, although the Southwest Ming Army repeatedly went north, it never broke through the defense line of the Huguang Qing Army, and although the Huguang Qing Army was heavily gathered, there was nothing to do with the Southwest Ming Army. Whether it is Sun Kewang or Liu Wenxiu, they are much different from Li Dingguo in terms of ability and luck, and this gap just bridges the gap between the two armies on the Huguang battlefield. Therefore, for several years, the two sides were in a stalemate, until the three kings fought among themselves, and Sun Kewang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty to break the balance. ć
Qian Qianyi may have had the confidence to play the third game again in advance through Li Dingguo's killing of Kong Youde and his continuous battle with Zheng Chenggong in the southeast, but he didn't know that soon Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo would have a bad relationship, and although the southeast battlefield had deviated from the track, Chen Wen did not believe that Zheng Chenggong had the ability to bypass half of China to attack Huguang from behind and take the southwest Ming army to the southeast.
And this is the second question, the ability of these Ming armies in the southeast and southwest!
Since Qian Qianyi didn't ask where he planned to march, Chen Wen naturally handed over the black cauldron to Sun Kewang to carry. Because Chen Wen had no way to tell Qian Qianyi about this, even if he did, he couldn't believe it.
The plan, of course, is bound to fail, at least it is impossible to change it before his fan reaches the southwest battlefield, but at this moment, there is no need to give up Qian Qianyi's support, and there is no need to tie himself to that plan in order to gain support. The best of both worlds may be impossible for ordinary people, but Chen Wen suddenly found that he had the opportunity to achieve this impossibility.
Since this is the case, then I have to temporarily wronged Qian Qianyi, it's a big deal to help him recover his reputation after recovering Nanjing, this old gentleman is doing things so hard, isn't this the biggest inducement?
After the matter was negotiated, it can be said that the guests and hosts were happy, and in the next dinner, Chen Wen specially found a cook to make some famous local dishes in Jinhua for Qian Qianyi and the three of them to try. Deng Qixi and Yao Zhizhuo are obviously the first time, but it seems that Qian Qianyi is not new to the dishes on the table.
Thinking about it again, it's normal, Qian Qianyi has been to Jinhua many times in order to rebel against Ma Jinbao, and as far as Chen Wen knows, Ma Jinbao seems to be very proud of being able to intersect with Qian Qianyi.
After dinner, Qian Qianyi talked with Chen Wen about the prospects for cooperation between Chen Wen and his disciple Zheng Chenggong, the possibility of plotting against the Qing army, and his views on the situation in the southeast.
The cooperation with Zheng Chenggong, Qian Qianyi naturally protected, after all, he was his student, and Chen Wen did not go against his plan, but he doubted in his heart whether the joke that Zheng Damu had hooked up with his teacher in the movie describing Liu Ruye in later generations had really happened.
As for plotting against the Qing army, although Qian Qianyi did not explicitly mention those targets of the rebellion because of Ma Jinbao, but only hinted at them, through the analysis of later generations, Chen Wen still knew some - Zhang Tianlu, the governor of Susong, Tian Xiong, the governor of Zhejiang, Ma Jinbao, the chief soldier of Jinhua, and Cai Shiying, the governor of Jiangxi.
Chen Wen has an impression of these four people, and judging from the official titles above, Qian Qianyi is also more inclined to catch a big fish in a net to instantly change the situation of the enemy and the enemy in the southeast battlefield. It's a pity that the probability of these four positions is not very high anyway.
Susong Admiral Zhang Tianlu, Chongzhen years to accumulate merit to the general officer, Hongguang and his brother Zhang Tianfu with Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong descended to the Qing Dynasty, into the Han army inlaid with yellow flags, the biggest achievement is the capture of Longwu Dynasty scholar Huang Daozhou. This person is the commander of Su Song, and he has a heavy army, which is indeed worth working on, but his younger brother Zhang Tianfu is far away in Shaanxi to serve as the chief military officer of Hanqiang, which means killing his younger brother anyway. And the most speechless thing is that this person's resume was mentioned by Qian Qianyi himself while hinting.
Tian Xiong, the governor of Zhejiang, is already Chen Wen's old opponent, not to mention Tian Xiong's subordinate Li Rong was killed by Chen Wen, this person used Emperor Hongguang as a vote when he descended to the Qing Dynasty, if these people dare to do it, it will be fresh.
And Cai Shiying, the governor of Zhejiang, although he is a civil official, his family is quite powerful in the Han military banner. But this powerful person has reached the point of "one of the eight major families of the Han Army Banner", so why bother to go to the Ming army to be an outlier anyway.
In contrast, it was Ma Jinbao, a rogue, who had no psychological burden of loyalty, and the actions of this rat-headed man also proved that Qian Qianyi's efforts were not in vain. However, this person is dead, and even if he does not die, he will only sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight in the Battle of Nanjing, rather than directly anyway.
Looking at it from the perspective of hindsight, instead of wasting time with these people, it is better to put effort on the Taizhou general Ma Xin, the Zhoushan deputy general Ba Chenggong and the later Ningbo deputy general Zhang Hongde, at least they are really anyway in history, even if they are mostly forced to do it anyway.
But the current history is different, whether these will happen, or whether there will be any stubble, Chen Wen is not easy to predict. So, he had to euphemistically express his hope that Qian Qianyi should still take the principle of preserving himself as the priority, and at the same time reiterated his opinion on the green camp generals - just a bunch of wall grass, and if the wind is stronger over there, they will run with that side.
In this regard, Qian Qianyi was still relatively satisfied, but when it came to the war situation in the southeast, Qian Qianyi's bunch of instructions mentioned a rumor that surprised Chen Wen, that is, the Manchu Qing Dynasty intended to appoint Hong Chengchou to pass through the four southeastern provinces of Jiangnan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Fujian!
