Chapter 997: Sun Yuan's Vision



The time has come to April 2 of the year of Hongguang, and a bad news can not be worse with an urgent situation of 800 miles, Duoduo's army at the end of March from Henan Guide sent troops south, all the way to sweep 'sweep', has occupied Suzhou, Fengyang, Xuzhou and other places, now, their target is Sizhou. [Marshmallow wants to read almost all the books.,It's much more stable and faster than the general station.,There's no ads in the whole text.] ]。 The update is so fast.

With the footsteps of the Qing army, it will be possible to reach Sizhou in ten days at most.

The importance of this place in Sizhou, Sun Yuan naturally knows. Gao Yingxiang was designed and captured by him here.

If the Qing army takes Sizhou, it will only take two days to be able to kill from Sizhou to Yangzhou City. This line is also the shortest straight-line distance for Jiannu to enter Nanjing.

Not only did Sun Yuan know the importance of Sizhou, but even Shi Kefa, a military 'door' layman, also knew how powerful it was.

As soon as the news came, Shi Kefa's heart was also as flustered as in real history.

Hurriedly invited Sun Yuan and Gao Jie to enter the city together to discuss countermeasures, and the meeting was attended by Liu Zhaoji, the chief soldier, and others.

Sun Yuan was a marquis, so naturally he sat down with Shi Kefa and presided over this military meeting.

Looking at Shi Ge Lao beside him, remembering that when he first arrived in Yangzhou Town and entered Nanjing to meet Shi Shangshu, he loved to ignore him, and Sun Yuan felt a burst of emotion in his heart.

As soon as Shi Kefa saw Sun Yuan and Gao Jie, he urgently asked how to deal with it next, and asked the two to organize soldiers and horses to go to Sizhou as soon as possible to resist the war.

Gao Jie was angry with Kefa's blind command, and only said: "Prime minister, my Qin army has just returned from Henan, the troops have suffered heavy losses, and the army is depressed, and now it is 'chaotic'. It can be said that the soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers, and they will not be able to recover in ten days and a half months. txt download / At this time, it will not be useful at all. ”

Shi Kefa said to Sun Yuan again: "Most of the Ningxiang Army is stationed in Gaoyou and Taizhou, and it can immediately move westward. ”

Sun Yuan smiled bitterly: "Cabinet Department, if our army moves, Yangzhou Town will be completely empty, if the Jiannu Quasi-Tower Department goes south and Huai'an is lost, the Quasi-Tower can support Nantong, and the entire defense line will collapse."

。 Moreover, the Grand Canal is extremely important. The first duty of the defenders of Gaoyou and Taizhou was to defend this waterway so that it could not be used by Jiannu. If the Grand Canal falls into the hands of the enemy, the enemy can move by boat, and in a few days he can cross Yangzhou and directly kill the Nanjing wharf. 'Pumping' troops from that side to Sizhou is too risky. Sun Yuan disagreed. ”

It is that the soldiers and horses in these two places need to be moved in the future Armageddon, but that will have to wait until Liu 'Chun' really controls the Shandong army and holds Huai'an. Otherwise, once Huai'an is lost, if Gaoyou and Taizhou have no soldiers to defend, the nest in Yangzhou Town will be copied by the Zhun Tower.

This matter cannot be done, and it cannot be said to Shi Kefa.

Gao Jie also nodded: "The Ningxiang army can't move for the time being, otherwise I, Yangzhou, may be surrounded by Jiannu." If the canal is lost, not to mention that Nanjing is directly under the threat of the Jiannu army, even my Yangzhou will have to suffer from the enemy. The mobilization of the Ningxiang Army is not in accordance with the art of war. ”

Sun Yuan: "Sun Yuan over there in Sizhou also knows that the city walls have collapsed after years of war and chaos, and they can't hold it at all. Moreover, the rivers and lakes in that place are 'intertwined', which is not conducive to the movement of the army, and it is useless to go to more and stronger soldiers and horses. ”

Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, since the financial collapse, from the early years of Chongzhen to the present, the country has been extremely poor, and the annual income is used to cope with the war at home and abroad and the various expenditures of the government organs. As for local infrastructure construction, it has not been done for more than 10 years.

For example, river defense and water transportation, and then the maintenance of city walls in various places.

Sizhou since Chongzhen was occupied by Gao Yingxiang in the ninth year, after the war, the city wall has already collapsed, the bridges and official roads in the territory have been seriously damaged, and they have not been repaired for more than ten years. With such a basic setting, if you want to resist the attack of Jiannu, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

Shi Kefa was very unhappy in his heart, frowned, and said: "Could it be that according to the meaning of the Marquis of Yingchuan, he watched Sizhou fall, and the people became the souls of Jiannu's swords?" If there are really people who die under the enemy's butcher's knife, can Yingchuan Hou rest assured? ”

This is already a moral judgment, and Sun Yuan can't stand it at the same time, he is also annoyed in his heart.

The Ming Dynasty is now so bad, half of the country has fallen, tens of millions of people have died in military disasters and famine, if everything has to be questioned conscience, it is estimated that all the officials in the world will commit suicide to atone for their sins.

The most annoying thing about the Donglin Party is that when they encounter someone who disagrees with them, they will treat them as enemies and go online to have a judgment that touches the soul.

Now that the situation has become so bad, Sun Yuan is not interested in arguing with Shi Kefa, so he only said lightly: "Cabinet Department, the soldiers and horses at hand cannot be moved for the time being, and I still have confidence in holding Yangzhou and repelling the Jianduoduo Department."

。 Duoduo, a certain subordinate defeated, is not worth mentioning. However, after defeating him, Duoduo retreated to the south of Gyeonggi, and after a year, he went south again, and the people of Jiangbei did not have to suffer again. Perhaps, there are many people in the government and the opposition who fantasize about the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu dividing the river and ruling and reproducing the old events in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty. It's a pity, the result of not wanting to make progress is the shame of Jingkang in the end. ”

"But I don't think so, according to Sun Yuan's view, it is a good thing that the main force of Jiannu came together this time, and it can be gathered and annihilated, and in one fell swoop to eliminate the external troubles that have plagued my Ming Dynasty for decades. During the Battle of Jinan that year, a certain had this idea, but unfortunately the Guanning army did not contribute, so Jiannu returned from Tianjin Weibei and calmly returned to the northeast. ”

Sun Yuan stood up, walked to the huge map hanging on the wall, pointed at Yangzhou with his finger, and said, "I have an idea, but I don't know what the cabinet and the generals think." Our army abandoned Sizhou, attracted the main force of Duoduo to attack Yangzhou, and nailed Jiannu firmly under the city of Yangzhou. Then, our Ningxiang army moved from east to west from Taizhou and Gaoyou; The Qin army moved from the south to the north; Huang Degong's Feng army moved from west to east, and the three-way army formed a trend of great encirclement, wrapping Duoduo's dumplings. As for Sizhou in the north, it is a water town and Zeguo, although Jiannu can easily take Sizhou and go south, but it is not so easy to escape north. ”

The idea of gathering and annihilating the main force of Jiannu Duoduo is very amazing, with the Ningxiang army here, with the combat effectiveness of Sun Yuan's subordinates, which is not inferior to Jiannu's, it may really be possible, this 'temptation' and 'confusion' are so huge that people can't refuse.

Indeed, there are not many Jiannu people, and one less dies. Duoduo brought 80,000 horses over this time, and after deducting the Han army and auxiliary soldiers, the real Eight Banners soldiers were only 10,000 or 20,000. If they could keep all of them in Yangzhou, they would wipe out more than 30% of the Manchu Qing forces at once, which would be an unbearable loss for the enemy.

If it really happens, the significance can be compared with the Warring States Changping War, Bai Qi killed all the 500,000 soldiers of Zhao State, wiped out all the young and strong people of Zhao State, so that Zhao State can no longer pose a threat to the unification of Qin State.

For the Ming Dynasty, which had a large population and was like a behemoth, the loss of tens of thousands of young men was nothing at all, and the number of strong men who starved to death due to natural disasters every year in these years was ten times that number. But the Manchu population was so small that tens of thousands of people were enough to weaken them from excessive blood loss.

Wars, especially stalemate national wars, are often fought in terms of comprehensive national strength, and population is the first element in comprehensive national strength. Everyone is consuming this until one side has wiped out a generation of young people.

The crowd below suddenly made a small noise.
