Chapter 546: The Importance of the Three Forks
The same as the liveliness of Beijing, the war report of Liaodong outside the Guanxi also suddenly became "lively", every day there will be an urgent war report to the capital, and the war outside the Guanxi has finally gradually entered people's sight, and many people remember that it turned out that there was still a war outside the Guan, these people, most of them were courtiers, and ordinary people were still discussing the rare process of transporting silver, and why the emperor piled so much silver there.
May 15.
In the Qianqing Palace, Yang Reform has already risen, and it is still the same as every day, served and dressed by the eunuchs.
"Big companion, Lei Dayong, are they all in Tianjin?" Yang asked Gengai.
"Back to Your Majesty, I arrived the day before yesterday." Wang Chengen replied immediately.
"Oh, that's good, does Master Sun know about this?" Yang Gengai once again confirmed that the fleet has finally arrived, and the time has come to collect sea power, and the big war outside the customs has been warmed up, and it will soon enter a white heat, and who wins and who loses is related to the strategic turning point, which is a very important matter, and the matter of sea power has to sing back with the imperial party.
"Back to Your Majesty, Elder Sun Ge knows." Wang Chengen replied affirmatively.
"Oh, that's good, are the ministers all on the platform?" Yang asked again.
"Back to Your Majesty, you are already waiting for Your Majesty on the platform." Wang Chengen replied affirmatively.
"Oh, that's good, then hurry up and pack up and go to the platform." Yang Reform looked at the sky, it was estimated that it was already more than nine o'clock, the sun was already high, and when he got up at this time, Yang Reform had almost formed a habit.
Platform.
gathered the bigwigs of the dynasty.
"Your Majesty has arrived" A eunuch's shout stopped the ministers who were talking.
Yang Gai went straight to the platform. The ministers saluted again verbally.
As soon as the "courtesy" Yang reform entered the platform, he spoke.
The ministers thanked him, and then they got up.
Yang reformed on the throne before he said: "I summoned you to the platform today, do you know what it is?" ”。 Yang asked Gengai.
The ministers took a look, and the people who came here were nothing more than some cabinets, scholars, all of whom were important ministers in the court, and they were all on the platform, and they all estimated what was going on, and it was inevitably related to the war.
"Returning to Your Majesty, could it be that it is for the war in Liaodong outside the Guan?" Shi Fenglai immediately cooperated.
"Yes, in the past few days, the urgent reports outside the gate are one after another, looking at the war, very anxious, therefore, I summoned you, is to discuss this matter, save or remedy, how to save, what do you think, just talk about it......" Yang Reform is very democratic to let everyone express their opinions, double reed is double reed, but the participation of extras is also very important, if these people are deprived of the right to participate, I am afraid that they will be said to be **, not to mention how much impact it has on themselves, if these people are passive and slack off, it is also a headache, Therefore, Yang's reform is a good way to carry forward democracy.
The ministers looked at each other, and saw that the emperor let everyone discuss, and the ministers also discussed, for this, these ministers liked it very much, no matter what, everyone has the right to speak, as for what is good and bad, as for whether it is used in the end, that is another matter, at least everyone has the right to express their opinions, at least, the emperor still "values" everyone's opinions.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since Songshan Fort is in danger, then troops should be sent to rescue." One of the ministers was the first to speak.
Now all the ministers also understand, in fact, the military is handled by Sun Chengzong, the cabinet minister, Sun Chengzong seems to have become a cabinet minister in charge of the military, other things are not very careful, to be honest, when it comes to wars, especially the war outside the Guan, these ministers, have a lot of strangeness, and the mess of things they manage, seems to be very far away, all of a sudden when it comes to the war outside the Guan, it seems to be very strange, it seems that it can't get used to it all of a sudden, after such a long run-in, everyone also has a feeling, The emperor's division of labor among the ministers seems to be getting stricter and stricter, and it seems that he intends to let the ministers take care of their own affairs. In particular, several cabinet ministers felt this even more obviously. …,
"Returning to Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that it should be saved, and it must be saved, and it must not chill the hearts of the officials and soldiers in the world, even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers, it must be saved ......," another minister agreed.
Everyone also knows that salvation must be saved. To deal with Dongyu, the emperor must have already planned, now let everyone discuss, but it is just a formality, since it is a formality, then, at this time, it does not matter what you say, you can rest assured and boldly say, only when it comes to the critical moment, how to say is the most important, therefore, as soon as the emperor spoke, many people spoke enthusiastically.
"Well, yes, it is indeed time to save ......" Yang Gai affirmed the words of these ministers.
“…… Previously, the General Staff deduced the purpose of the Eastern Capture, which was nothing more than to encircle the point and send reinforcements, and to force me to send troops to rescue by besieging the city, so as to sit back and wait for our dynasty to attack him, and he was so easy to wait for his work, forcing our dynasty to fight a field ...... with him, and field warfare is the strength of the Eastern Prisoners, and the shortcomings of our dynasty ......" Yang Gai said.
When the ministers heard this, they nodded one after another, this is not wrong, Daming and Dongyu fought a field war, then it was called a miserable, that is, relying on the city and Zhou Xuan of Donglu, fighting a field war, it was basically a place to go and no return.
“…… I originally wanted to force the East Captives back, but now it seems that it can't be done, since Songshan Fort is a must-save again, then you can talk about how to save it. "Yang Reform still promotes democracy and allows everyone to express their opinions, to be honest, although this is a boring process, it is also a very important thing. After discussing the question of whether to save or not, we began to discuss how to save it.
As soon as the emperor's words came out, the ministers below began to talk again. Many people had different faces and expressions that they were not used to.
Many ministers, especially cabinet ministers, feel more and more that the emperor intends to let everyone take care of their own affairs, perhaps for a purpose, although it is clear that everyone's "territory" seems to be beneficial to everyone, but when it comes to talking about other people's "plates", there is actually a sense of strangeness, many ministers suddenly found that they have many officers and soldiers outside the border, how many elites, there are those generals, the situation of all parties, do not understand very much, the emperor wants everyone to say these things, but I don't know how to speak, if it was before, You can still talk a few nonsense, but how can you talk nonsense now? The emperor is not so easy to fool, he doesn't talk to the point, or he is too outrageous, and he makes the emperor laugh in vain.
Many ministers have strange thoughts in their hearts, how can this be done unconsciously? How does this feel so weird? Many people are staring at Sun Chengzong.
Han Yi looked at the emperor, then looked at the ministers who were talking, looked at many suspicious people, and sighed in his heart, the emperor is indeed powerful, this unconsciously, a lot of things have changed, and now they are all in charge of their own affairs, it seems that they have delegated power, the emperor believes in everyone, in fact, it is more convenient for the emperor to control, for example, today, the military is in charge of Sun Chengzong, the emperor asked everyone to speak, but how did everyone speak? Without understanding the situation, who dares to talk nonsense? It's not full of the emperor's frame. But then again, this is not bad, at least from the current situation, the previous five-year cabinet promise, I am afraid that it is still valid......
"Your Majesty, I think that since Songshan Fort is in an emergency, it must be saved, how can it, presumably Your Majesty also has a strategy." Han Yi saw that no one came out to reply, and everyone also stared at Sun Chengzong, so Han Yi also came out to say something.
"Master Sun." Yang Gengai listened to Han Yi's words, looked at Sun Chengzong again, and asked.
"The minister is here." Sun Chengzong immediately agreed.
"Let's talk about the staff's countermeasures." Yang Gai asked, since democracy has come, then next, it is time to double the reed. …,
"Yes," Sun replied.
"......, according to His Majesty's will, the General Staff formulated corresponding countermeasures as early as the beginning of the year, that is, to delay the Dongyu as much as possible, so that the Dongyu could not live in peace, as long as there is a draw with the Dongyu, it will be the victory of our dynasty, so the General Staff is based on this point to formulate countermeasures......"
“…… According to the deduction of the General Staff, the Donglu wants to force me to go to Songshan Fort, and then fight a decisive battle with our dynasty in Jinning, and the idea of the General Staff Department, the Donglu fights the Dongyu, and I fight the DPRK, he wants to force me to go to Jinning, and our dynasty is not to gather a large army to go to Jinning, but to gather a large army to land on the Sancha River, and lead the Dongyu to fight in the Sancha River, so that the assumption of the Dongyu is broken. Turning passive rescue into active rescue, the time and place are on our side, which is conducive to our initiative to wait for work and wait for the long-distance journey from the east to attack ......" Sun Chengzong said simply.
This matter, many people know, now listen to Sun Chengzong once again confirmed, but also determined the emperor's plan, to be honest, this plan is indeed not bad, than being forced to go to Songshan Fort by the East is much stronger, anyway, in the Sancha River is to sit and wait for the East to attack, and go to Songshan Fort, but the East is waiting for the Ming to attack, this difference, but big, to wait for the work is not in vain.
"This is my basic strategy, you can ask any questions." Yang's reform also promotes democracy.
"Your Majesty, it is understandable to land on the Sancha River, but how can you guarantee that Dongyu will definitely go to the Sancha River? This is not very clear to the minister. One of the ministers immediately asked.
"Master Sun, you can answer." Yang Gai said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Sun Chengzong agreed, and then began to answer.
“…… Landing at the Sancha River, the Dongyu will come, from the perspective of the purpose of the Dongyu, the purpose of the Dongyu is nothing more than to encircle the point to send reinforcements, the purpose of the encirclement point reinforcement, is nothing more than to annihilate the army of our dynasty in one fell swoop, so as to destroy the encirclement strategy of our dynasty, and then affect the government of our dynasty, if we can force me to change people outside the pass, change generals, or even change the strategy, or take a few stupid moves, this is the ultimate goal of the Dongyu, then, according to this, since our dynasty has sent reinforcements, then, the Dongju will definitely come, Is the attack on Songshan Fort just for the sake of a Matsuyama Fort? Even if Songshan Fort is captured, how many things can be grabbed? How many people have to die? Such a loss-making deal will not be done by the Dongyu, so once we know that our dynasty will send troops, the Dongyu will definitely come back......" Sun Chengzong analyzed.
"Your Majesty, what if Dongyu really doesn't come? So what? The minister asked, still in hot pursuit.
"It doesn't matter, if the Donglu insists on not coming, it can be said that the Donglu are afraid of our dynasty, dare not face our dynasty, and dare not fight with our dynasty, which is a considerable encouragement for the morale of our dynasty......
“…… If Dongyu doesn't come, you can take the estuary of the Sancha River as the base point, build a fortress, or go north along the Sancha River to threaten Dongyu's hometown, Sancha River to Dongyu's hometown, but three hundred miles, fast horses, you can get to Dongyu's hometown in a few days, if Dongyu doesn't come, I will send an elite Qiyu to fight Dongyu's hometown, and pull out all the fences of Dongyu's hometown outside the city......"
“…… Once our dynasty has gained a firm foothold in the Sancha River, the large area of Gaizhouwei will be controlled by our dynasty, and it can be regarded as being able to connect with Mao Wenlong's side, so that the room for maneuver in the east will be smaller, and in general, strategically, it is still a ...... in favor of our dynasty."
“…… Once I gain a firm foothold in the Sancha River, I can threaten the grain route of Dongyu, and if Donglu wants to transport grain to Jinning, I am afraid that it will be difficult, so Dongyu will definitely come......"...,
“…… These months are the season when the Sancha River is rising, if possible, there will be warships going upstream, if you can control the east bank of the Sancha River, Donglu wants to cross the river, it is also a problem, if the Donglu brigade does not come, then I can rest assured to clear Dongcha's hometown, rest assured, even if Huang Taiji does not go to the Sancha River, the people of Dongjia's hometown will definitely go back to Sancha River, as long as the first batch of Tartars go to Sancha River, then Huang Taiji will have to go to Sancha River......"
“…… The Sancha River, there are sea ships, there are warships, even if they can't be defeated on land, the officers and soldiers can still rely on the might of the battleship artillery to resist the Dongjiao, and the wounded officers and soldiers can be withdrawn and reinforced by warships, and they can also be reached by sea at any time, therefore, the Sancha River is extremely beneficial to our dynasty, but not to the Dongchu, and once our dynasty lands on a large scale in the Sancha River, the Dongyu is bound to come......"
Yang Reform said a lot of explanations, the Sancha River is indeed a sharp knife on the throat of Dongyu, here to Dongyu's nest is only 300 miles, from Dongyu's grain road is only more than 100 miles, once you land in this place, you can attack the Donglu grain road, you can hit Dongyu's nest, you can consult the surrounding fence of Dongyu, harass Dongyu production, and Mao Wenlong can also be connected to a piece, it is a strategic place, once a large-scale landing here, then Huang Taiji can't come, even if Huang Taiji can not bear it, There must be other people who can't help but come, Houjin has never been bullied by the Ming Dynasty to this point, once the first batch of Tartars can't help but go to the Sancha River, Huang Taiji can't fight in Songshan Fort, and he must go to the Sancha River.
"The minister understands, Your Majesty Shengming" The minister thought about it, and then didn't ask.
The ministers listened to the emperor's arrangement and explanation, and they all understood that the location of this Sancha River is indeed quite good. The east can be connected with Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town, and the west can be connected with Yuan Chonghuan's Jinning into a phase, and the sword is also held at a place three hundred miles away from Dongyu, whether it is eastward or westward, as soon as there is a move, Sancha River is a problem that has to be considered, Sancha River is too close to Dongyu's hometown, the Ming Dynasty can use sea ships to increase troops on a large scale at any time, and can send troops to force at any time, Donglu has to go back to defense, want to go east or west, that is almost delusional, and Donglu has no sea ships, It is almost impossible to completely defeat the power of the Ming Dynasty at the Sancha River.
The ministers listened to the emperor's analysis and nodded one by one.
"Your Majesty, I don't know who to send as the commander?" Someone asked.
"I plan to use Old Madam Qin's white pole soldiers against the enemy, so I should be the old Madam Qin as the main commander." Yang reformed.
"Your Majesty, this seems to be ......" Seeing that how to save it, someone began to discuss the question of who would save it.
"It doesn't matter, the previous achievements of the white pole soldiers, you are also obvious to all, now, everything should be based on the premise of winning the Dongyu, I know what the Qing family is going to say, however, these are not what I care about, I care about how to win, not who wins, if you can recommend a person who can win, or can bear the consequences of defeat, I might as well reconsider." Yang Gai said.
When the ministers heard this, they talked about it again, a woman as the commander of the East Prisoner, this is indeed a little, what, yin and yang are declining
"Your Majesty, I'm not unmanned, and I haven't reached the point where I want a woman to go to the battlefield, right? Quite a few words "In any case, machismo was still very marketable in ancient times."
"Let's put it this way, the silver I have spent on side matters has reached more than 10 million taels, and I will continue to spend it, do you think my life is good? If there is a recurrence of the war, this silver will be spent more, if you have any opinions, you can guarantee a person who can bear the consequences, I am not not considering the replacement of people, as far as the results of my current selection, I am interested in Mrs. Qin, state affairs, should focus on talent, not men and women or others, this matter of life and death, can not be joked. Yang Reform said that the silver that Yang Reform is spending on side matters is indeed as high as more than 10 million taels, which is not a lie.
As soon as the ministers heard this, some people didn't want to say it, and some people were even more fierce and ready to refute.
"Your Majesty, the minister will raise the old Sun Pavilion to take command of the expedition...... a minister said, pushing Sun Chengzong out.
"Your Majesty, the minister also elected Sun Ge Lao to be in charge...... "In addition, there are also ministers who come out and let a woman be handsome, do you think this is the Yang general?" Among the ministers, there were many people who came out to support Sun Chengzong.
"Hehe......" Yang Reform said with a smile......
