Chapter 446: King Qin
"Oh? Why do you mention those noble princes again, is there still a general among them who can lead the army to fight? After listening to Xiao Mu's words, Lin Yi understood and asked, "If there really is such a figure, we shouldn't know about it in the history of the future generations." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"It hasn't reached the point where he can leave a name in history with his military talents, but this person should be a lot stronger than other nobles." Xiao Mu replied.
"Who the hell?" Naturally, Ringo's problems followed.
Of course, in fact, Xiao Mu was about to open his mouth, but his speed was not as fast as Lin Yi's question, "It's the British Gong Zhang Weixian, I only learned today that he was in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, and the soldiers and horses in the capital were all controlled by him, think about it, if it is really a character with wine bags and rice bags, how can he have the ability to control the entire Beijing camp?" ”
"I think he is just a Chinese asset, and the memory of Empress Zhou in my mind tells me that for example, the official position in the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, and the position of being in charge of the Beijing camp are generally set up for a super prince like Zhang Weixian, so it can be said that as long as he has no special exaggerated incompetence, he can basically get this position hereditarily."
"And what's going on?" Xiao Mu also didn't think of Lin Ye's "popular science" just now - it is obvious that Lin Ye's "popular science" just now may not be nothing to the original residents of the Ming Dynasty, but for Xiao Mu, who has almost no knowledge of the ancient official system, even Lin Ye, who has just given him "popular science", relies on the original memory of the body of Queen Zhou that she occupies.
"But this Zhang Weixian's age is not young, he can be a national prince for so many years, and he has been in charge of the Beijing camp for so long, even if he is not good, he should not be a rice bucket." Xiao Mu continued, "All in all, the current situation is that the Jingying must first consolidate the city defenses in order to prevent Yuan Chonghuan and them from being unable to intercept Huang Taiji's army. ”
"You really don't plan to issue an edict to order the soldiers and horses of the whole country to come to King Qin?" Lin Yi was still a little uneasy about Xiao Mu's decision to temporarily give up the edict to the army of the world for the sake of saving money and food, so he opened his mouth to confirm it again.
"At least now is not the time when the national army is needed to Qin Wang, if Yuan Chonghuan and Hou Shilu really can't intercept Huang Taiji's Houjin army, then it will not be too late to issue an edict to Qin Wang, no matter how unbearable the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp is, it should not be a problem to hold on until the reinforcements arrive, right? And this is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, in this era can almost be said to be the world's tallest and strongest city, we defend the city, Huang Taiji's army is also mortal, how can it be easy to break through the walls of the capital? ”
Xiao Mu continued to add, "Taking a step back, even if the army led by Yuan Chonghuan, Hou Shilu and Man Gui is not in a good position to fight with Huang Taiji, and they can't say that Houjin's army is intercepted outside the capital, they can eventually bring a lot of troops to the capital, right?" When the time comes, with their border troops as the mainstay, supplemented by the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp, it may not be possible to hold the capital, at least they can wait for the arrival of other Qinwang troops. ”
The more Xiao Mu spoke, the more confident he became, as if Huang Taiji had led his troops to fight under the capital, and then hit a nail on the tall and solid city wall of the capital, and lost his front teeth.
"Hopefully things will go the way you analyzed." Seeing that Xiao Mu looked confident, Lin Yi had no choice but to express her good expectations, and then reminded him in the end, "It's naturally a good thing to save money and food, but the money you save also has to be spent on life. ”
"I have my own measure, if it really comes to the time when I need to edict King Qin, I will definitely not hesitate." Xiao Mu nodded, and he also agreed with Lin Yi's view that "you can only spend money if you save your life", "You may not believe it, in fact, during today's discussion, there are still people who hold the idea that Huang Taiji is just planning to loot some property at the border pass this time, and will withdraw his troops soon." ”
"How is that possible? Huang Taiji ran so far and finally broke through the pass, how could he be satisfied with just looting at the border pass and withdrawing his troops? Lin Yi couldn't believe Xiao Mu's words just now, "Huang Taiji is not a fool, even if it were me, I would try to march in the direction of the capital, even if it was with the mentality of winning the jackpot, it would be good to try to attack." ”
Lin Yi's statement is indeed very vivid, if he can really capture the capital, it will really be worthy of the name for Huang Taiji and Houjin - whether it is from a very low probability or a huge return.
"In a sense, I can understand that." Xiao Mu replied, "You and I have decided that Huang Taiji will definitely march in the direction of the capital and try to attack the capital, but this is also a judgment we made when we have some knowledge of history and preconceived ideas. And other people other than you and me must have no way of knowing this, in their opinion, Huang Taiji has just suffered a great defeat on the grassland, and his vitality has been greatly damaged, and this time he has to take the risky action because of the heavy losses before, in order to be able to take advantage of the autumn harvest season to grab the supplies for the winter. ”
"So, according to this logic, if Hou Shilu hadn't led the troops to rob the camp with the cooperation of Yang Tao and them and defeated Huang Taiji, then Huang Taiji would not have entered the pass and looted this time? Could it be that Hou Shilu and Yang Tao not only did not take credit, but also did they have crimes? Ringo still couldn't understand this outrageous statement and opinion.
Of course, Xiao Mu also very much agreed with Lin Yi's statement, in fact, the reason why he mentioned this was just to show that there were many courtiers who were a little too optimistic about the current situation. And for Xiao Mu, who originally knew some history, those views that were blindly optimistic about the current situation were more like a kind of wake-up, in such a situation, he would undoubtedly not joke with the capital and his life, if necessary, he would definitely not hesitate to order the whole army to come to Qinwang, but the time is not now, that's all.
"Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and plans can't always change quickly, maybe you'll find out early tomorrow morning that it's time to order King Qin." Lin Yi finally said, "Maybe Yuan Chonghuan and the others have successfully repelled Huang Taiji's army, and the capital can rest easy." ”
Obviously, the sentence added by Lin Yi later has some meaning of adding for the sake of supplementing, and her Xiao Mu is very clear that the possibility of her first half of the sentence is undoubtedly much greater than the second half of the sentence.
