Chapter 112: How Are We Staying in the City?
Anyone with a little common sense knows how stupid it is to use the army's small artillery to resist the navy's naval guns, and naturally, Xu Xing, as a noble commander of the orthodox academy sect who came out of the military academy - uh, what a tongue twister, if you understand what I mean - he can't be unaware of this. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Maybe we should try to abandon Jiaxing and retreat to the north." A staff officer sent him the most correct advice in military affairs, "If we don't want to be bombed into scum." ”
"Hmm...... But Your Majesty has sent us here to encircle and suppress the bandits, how can we retreat easily? It's too ugly in public opinion. Xu Xing shook his head decisively.
As I expected. Xu Xing, this guy, looks like a fledgling orthodox soldier on the outside, but in fact, he is still a politician-like guy on the inside, and he is militarily correct, but he will never do anything that is politically unfavorable to him. Don't you see that the military aristocracy in Europe has almost all degenerated into politician families in the end? For example, Churchill, Churchill, and Churchill...... Well, it's actually this guy's example that's just too typical. Obviously, their ancestors were generals, and they had also served as the Minister of the Admiralty, but they really couldn't say that he was a soldier, and he exuded the rancid smell of politicians all over his body...... Well, the word reasonable politician is too ugly, it's better to call a politician.
"But it's almost impossible for us to hold here! There are tigers and wolves in front of us and there are no reinforcements in the back, and we still lose the guest army in our hometown. Other staff officers also objected.
In other words, almost all the staff officers are against continuing to stay here, although occupying Jiaxing is equivalent to choking Kaishengong's neck, so that he cannot advance or retreat, but it seems that we have only a dead end if we stay here. No matter how much the Zhejiang army cooks, it can't stand up to the support of the Navy and Air Force and the local bonus, and we have been debuffed by the Soviets, and the organization and morale are very problematic...... Ahem, I really played a lot of games.
But it is definitely not possible to go back, for the sake of my resume and Xu Xing's consideration. Now we young people, to be honest, are in the inspection period, if you perform well during this period, you will naturally get the support and promotion of the upper-level bosses, and the resources will also be tilted, and it will not be a problem for the official fortune to go straight to the cabinet in the future, but if you can't show your ability, it will be much more troublesome to climb up in the future. Well, I'm definitely not insinuating anything, you must believe me, it's not only about my political life, it's about my own life!
Ahem, don't hide it from you, sometimes, you can really eat indiscriminately but you can't talk nonsense, this Ming has a kind of "check the water meter" movement is really powerful, and recently added new tricks such as "sending express delivery" and "repairing heating", and there are no longer a few guys who have been convicted for their words - although the Ming court will have freedom of speech on the surface, but just listen to it as a joke, don't really believe it.
Counting three hundred years, isn't there a guy named Li Zhen who is also like this? Just because he wrote two books criticizing the Confucian saints, his life was extremely miserable, and he still hasn't turned over -- Lai Yuejing hasn't overturned the case for this unlucky thinker. Confucianism is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, Buddhism is a useful supplement to Confucianism, and the three religions are the state religion of the Ming Dynasty...... Well, he didn't say it himself, he motioned to his wife to say it. This traverser, as soon as he takes power, he is like a different person, and he can't wait to live in the Confucian Temple.
And today, three hundred years later, the situation has not changed much, the Ming cabinet has been very tight on the people's remarks, and will never allow remarks that may be in danger to the royal rule, nor will it allow slanderous remarks against the bosses, look at Sun Wen, who advocates the republic, was really miserable by the royal suppression, and fled to London to be forcibly arrested by Jinyiwei rushing into his house, if it weren't for the fact that Faying and Daming didn't deal with Mr. Sun, he could only go to prison for the rest of his life, no, maybe he wouldn't have the rest of his life...... Well, so I can only be cautious about what I say and do all the time.
But that's fine, at least Daming won't be as messy as France, Britain and Burgundy, what the central boss says, just listen obediently below. Recently, Ottoman Turkey suppressed the separatist forces at home, and then secretly encouraged green refugees from the Middle East and North Africa to run to Europe, and France suffered greatly...... Well? Ladies and gentlemen, do you say that you have a sense of immediacy? Where have you ever seen this scene? Oh, so many years have passed, and the past has been forgotten a lot......
Straight to the point. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to encourage Xu Xing to stay here, because the political future was important enough for me to take the risk and die.
"It's okay, let's just stay here." I proposed to Xu Xing, "Deploy all the troops in the urban area, mainly in the prosperous stage, and build more barricades, can the Zhou Rao fleet withstand the pressure of public opinion and fire here?" Moreover, Kai Shengong would never dare to command Zhou Rao's fleet to fire on this city, which was his hometown in Zhejiang. If he dared to do so, his reputation would be ruined, and he would not have any popular support for the civil war, and he would not have dug his own grave. ”
Hawkers, this is a common problem in some countries, political correctness is above all else, all military operations have to suffer from moral kidnapping, and if the front-line army does anything that does not conform to the morality of the domestic people, it will be bombarded and killed to the scum, and the future of the commander will also be affected. Not only the military, but even individuals, a volunteer from the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the Holy Roman Empire who went to the Middle East to fight against extremist religious groups was even charged with murder by a court of law...... Oh, did I tell you, that Burgundy's European properness had long since been divided between Holy Rome and Gugru-France according to language, and now Burgundy generally refers to the northern part of the New World.
Xu Xing thought for a while, nodded and agreed with my opinion: "Not bad." Military operations cannot be considered in terms of military aspects alone. Thinking about it from another angle, our defense in the urban area is equivalent to the complete paralysis of Chang Kaishen's air force and navy. But with the army, even if there are several times more people, they will not be the opponents of elite border troops such as ours......"
Thinking of this, the situation suddenly became clearer, we don't even have to attack, as long as we continue to camp in this city on the edge of Hangzhou, Kaishen Gong will become more and more uncomfortable, and he can't even remove a nail pierced in his heart, and his people will gradually drift away from morality. He couldn't use a big killer to clear it, but he didn't dare to use a big killer to clear it......
