Chapter 454: The War in the Coming Year

Since meeting Liu Xingzuo, Yang Gai has felt comfortable again. Of course, compared with the golden finger of the "prophet of history", this eye and channel may not be as reliable as the prophet of history, but it is not a smear.

Recently, some governors who are relatively close to the capital have arrived in Beijing one after another, and they have to meet with others and talk about work, achievements, and problems with the governors, so Yang Reform has been busy again.

Yang Reform took the newspaper and asked the eunuch to dress himself while reading it, which warmed up the atmosphere of political affairs, and Yang Reform liked it very much.

"......" Yang Gai glanced at the newspaper a few times, but did not speak, the whole article was applauding the running of the school, and the whole article was boasting about the running of the school, not to say how good the school is, or to quote the remarks of a certain Confucian, from the side to explain how many people support this matter, but to make this thing that has no shadow into eight mature.

Platform.

"Master Sun has been a lot better in the past two days!" Yang Gai said with a smile, after tidying up his clothes, he came directly to this platform, there are more and more people who need to see recently, and today, I want to summon some people to discuss things.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, the old minister has only been able to sleep peacefully in the past two days!" Sun Chengzong's frowning brows a few days ago were finally loosened, and the ignorance of the future war was the most tormenting, and now, the emperor gave him a book, talking about a person, he was relaxed, in this book, he wrote in detail about the high-level affairs of Dongyu, that person, that person, is Liu Xingzuo, which made Sun Chengzong overjoyed, with this eyeliner, Sun Chengzong's grasp of the war next year has improved by several percent.

"Your Majesty, Governor Máo, Lord Yuan, they have all arrived." As he was talking, Wang Chengen reported.

"Oh, is it there? Okay, let them all come in. Yang Reform immediately said, recently, there have been more and more governors to the Beijing Division, Máo Wenlong, Yuan Chonghuan and they have all arrived, Yang Reform is thinking of meeting with them and discussing the issue of opening the Chūn war next year.

Máo Wenlong, Yuan Chonghuan, Man Gui, Qin Liang yù, Zhao Shujiao, five people entered the platform through the fish. Yang Gai was happy to see it, these are all famous figures in history, but they rely on him.

"Bow to your majesty!" Several people saluted at the same time.

"In the platform, it's free, a few people believe that they should also know each other, I won't be wordy......" Yang Gai said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long." A few of them agreed. These people, except for Máo Wenlong, who is a little bit more remote in Dongjiang Town, the other people, speaking of which, are all familiar with each other.

"Several of you are here today, I want to say, everyone has worked hard......" Yang Reform first came to thank him.

"Don't dare to be a minister!" Several people hurriedly excused themselves.

This is the first time he has seen the emperor, seeing this young emperor, máo Wenlong is full of curiosity, this emperor is really too young, seeing the emperor looking at him, he lowered his head again.

"I know that Máo has just arrived in the capital, and he shouldn't have summoned the platform to discuss today, but the matter is urgent, so I have to do this, can Máo be able to bear it?" Yang Reform asked with concern, Máo Wenlong was the last of these people to reach the capital, as soon as he arrived in the capital, Yang Reform couldn't wait to discuss the war in the north, because time waited for no one.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is fine, he can afford to eat, he is a little tired, and the minister doesn't care." Máo Wenlong hurriedly replied movingly, the tone of this emperor was almost exactly the same as the person shown in the letter, and Máo Wenlong couldn't help but sigh at the emperor's true feelings.

"That's good! A few of them are the Great Wall of me to resist the Dongyu, and summoning a few of them must have something to do with the Dongyu, so let's all come here in the sand table. Yang Reform said directly.

Several people followed the emperor to the edge of the sand table.

The place where Sun Chengzong stood was closest to the emperor, and the rest were also standing around the sand table.

"This year's war with Donglu has been very good, especially the Máo Marshal, I am here, I still have to praise Máo Marshal, without the Máo Marshal sacrificing his life in Zhenjiang Fort, it will not be easy to win against the Donglu this year." Yang Reform once again admired Máo Wenlong.

"Your Majesty should not praise you, this is what a minister should do." Máo Wenlong resigned again and again, and his heart was happy.

Yang Gai looked at Máo Wenlong and was very satisfied, and he was able to sacrifice himself to be a yòu bait in the lonely city, which was enough to prove Máo Wenlong's courage and loyalty. ,

"Ziru also did a good job this time, restraining a large number of Dongyu troops, so that Donglu no longer has the ability to go west, creating conditions for the victory of Marshal Máo and Mangui." Yang Reform also praised it, this Yuan Chonghuan has a lot of energy, and his ability is still lacking, don't let him call the shots, but tell him what to do.

"The minister is ashamed, he is ashamed to be a ......" Yuan Chonghuan is not saying modest words, he is really ashamed, confronting twenty or thirty thousand Tartars, it is all his credit for this northern war, compared with the two sides, his credit is really shabby.

"You don't need to be like this, if you win, you win, that's enough, and the rest doesn't matter...... Yang Gai encouraged again.

"The minister understands!" Yuan Chonghuan responded.

"Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao, you won't talk about it......" Yang Gai said playfully.

"...... minister, hehehe...... "Man Gui hehe laughed a few times, mōmō head, their war, it is simply leading people to rob, this kind of work, there is really no need to say it. Zhao Shujiao has nothing to say, he hasn't even been on the battlefield yet, and now he is angry with Man Gui.

"Old Madam Qin, you should know each other, but today, I still want to solemnly introduce my Ming Dynasty heroes, heroines." Yang Gengai turned his words to Qin Liang again.

"Your Majesty, the minister didn't even go to the battlefield this year, so I don't dare to compare with you......" Qin Liang said with some embarrassment.

"Old Madam Qin doesn't need to be modest, I am very optimistic about Old Madam Qin." Yang Gai said.

……

After commenting on this year's achievements and battles, Yang Gengai turned to talk about this year's events.

"I summoned you here today to discuss the war next year and see how to deal with it. Yang Gai said the most important thing today.

máo Wenlong looked at the emperor, and then looked at the back of himself, he was in the position of the first person, sorted out his words, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that with His Majesty's entanglement strategy, it will be enough to consume the empty Dongyu, as long as the Dongyu can't go back to production with peace of mind, this Dongyu will be tired, thin, and finally dragged to death......"

"Not bad......" Seeing that Máo Wenlong finished speaking, Yang Reform turned to Yuan Chonghuan and said, "What about freedom?" What do you think? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that next year's war should still be carried out in accordance with His Majesty's entanglement strategy, there is no need to fight to the death with Donglu, just to the death with Donglu, just to the death of Donglu, this is to consume, Donglu will definitely collapse, however, Donglu can't stand it, it is likely to be desperate, besiege a certain city as a breakthrough, to besiege the city to send reinforcements, bī I Daming field battle or decisive battle, Your Majesty, the minister thinks, perhaps, next year should strengthen the defense of some Xiǎo cities, fortresses......" Yuan Chonghuan has been under great pressure since the war in the north, without him, no record! Therefore, on the issue of how to deal with and prevent the Eastern Prisoners, he put some effort into it, and made countless deductions, in order to hope that he would be able to turn around in the future, otherwise, his face really couldn't hold it, and this time the emperor asked, and immediately said some of his new views.

Yang Reform looked at Yuan Chonghuan with a hint of surprise, and then looked at Sun Chengzong, and saw that Sun Chengzong also looked at himself with some surprise, this Yuan Chonghuan, I haven't seen him for a few days, but he has grown a lot, and he has seen a lot of mén Dao, which actually coincides with his own plan, this strategy level has risen fast enough, Yang Reform wondered how fast Yuan Chonghuan's strategy level has grown, but he doesn't know how much pressure Yuan Chonghuan is under, and people will break through their original limits under major pressure.

"Yes, the General Staff also thinks so, the General Staff believes that after knowing my Ming Dynasty's combat strategy, Donglu will definitely not sit still, and will definitely find a place as a breakthrough, that is to say, it is very likely that as soon as the chūn opens next year, Donglu will choose a certain city as a breakthrough, and Bī I must not go to the rescue, so that we must fight with Donglu in the field, in this way, the opportunity for Dongyu will come, the General Staff believes that the combat power of our dynasty depends on the defense of the city, no problem, but it is still a step worse to fight with Donglu in the field, Therefore, the General Staff believes that field combat should not be avoided as much as possible,...... Now it is the lunar month, less than a month before the New Year, leaving the chūn, that is, more than a month later, it is very likely that there will be a big move in the east, which is also the reason why I am in a hurry to summon you, the front-line commanders, to discuss today......" Yang Reform said the speculation of the General Staff, and after speaking, look at Máo Wenlong, Máo Wenlong suddenly realized, no wonder, he entered Beijing with his front foot, and entered the palace with his back foot, it turned out that the matter was already quite urgent. ,

"Your Majesty, judging from the experience of the minister in Zhenjiang Fort, as long as there are enough grenades, some big Buddha Lang machines, plus a small number of thousand catties of Buddha Lang machine cannons, even if it is a xiǎo city, Dongyu wants to capture it, but it is also very difficult, to capture, there will be a large number of dead and wounded, and there are few people in Dongyu, it may not be a death battle, the minister looks at the east and west, the front city, the east is only Zhenjiang Fort, Phoenix City, these cities, the west is just Jinzhou, Songshan, Xingshan and other cities,...... The cities of Phoenix in the east, the minister thought that he could give up when necessary, and there was no need to defend it, so as not to fall into the situation of being besieged, and Zhenjiang Fort, the minister thought that the Dongyu may not have the courage to go again, this time the Dongyu had enough of the suffering of no warship, and should not find trouble with Zhenjiang Fort again, so the minister thought that the goal of the Dongyu this time should be in this section of Jinning, nothing more than Jinzhou, Songshan, Xingshan, one of these these, and Jinzhou is a big city, heavily guarded, and many cannons, it should not be the first choice of the Dongyu, the minister thought, It should mainly strengthen the defense of Songshan and Xingshan, and in addition, some xiǎo weizi that are too far ahead, the minister thinks that they should also give up, so as not to give Dongyu an opportunity to take advantage of...... "Máo Wenlong has also been in correspondence with the emperor for a while, and he also has a considerable understanding of the emperor's temper, and he has said everything he thinks, and he has nothing to hide or scruples.

"Well, yes, the idea of the General Staff is also to strengthen these top xiǎo castles, but it is not easy to strengthen them!" Yang Gengai smiled bitterly.

Seeing that the emperor smiled bitterly, Sun Chengzong stopped talking, so he said: "Your Majesty means, even if it is strengthened, there are just as many problems, send more grenades into these xiǎo cities, there is no problem, the key is that if the Dongyu besieges the city from the beginning of the city, it can be besieged until it snows, and it may not leave, in this way, it will be a year-long siege!" Ladies and gentlemen, even if you are fully prepared, you have to prepare more than a year's worth of grain, grass and armaments for each city, this ......" Sun Chengzong said the difficulty for the emperor, the difficulty is here, as soon as the chūn is opened, the city will be besieged, if it is besieged until the end of the year, it will be a year's time, and a Xiǎo castle may not be much, but the sum of a few is the cost of not Xiǎo, and if you count these big cities in Jinzhou, the cost is even greater.

"I am still sure of the expenses, but there are not many days left, it will only be a month to open next year, such a short day, even if I transfer grain from the capital division, I dare not say how sure I am!" Yang Gai smiled bitterly and shook his head, the difficulty is here, even if there is something, it is too difficult to supply a large number of materials to every city in Jinning in a short period of time, especially in this winter snowy day, this is not the future, there are railways and highways.

A few people on the platform looked at each other, and it was really troublesome.

"What I'm most worried about is that the city is besieged, I have to save it, if I save it, I must fight in the field, this is my weakness, what can you do?" Yang Reform worried.

"Your Majesty, if Jinning is attacked, the minister is in the east, and he will be contained, and as soon as he opens next year, the minister will not matter if the Dongyu will attack there, the minister will scatter jīng sharp, so that the Dongyu will not dare to go west with all his might......" Máo Wenlong had completely fallen to the emperor, and when he saw the emperor's sad face, he immediately expressed his determination.

"Good!" Yang Gengai shouted hello.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to take the Imperial Alliance Army to borrow the territory of Lin Dan Khan and fight the Eastern Capture from behind." Seeing that the emperor was worried, Man Gui also came out to express his determination.

"Hehe, Man Gui, you don't have to go out, next year's task is still to strangle those tribes with two hearts......" Yang Reform also has a good impression of this somewhat straightforward man, however, Man Gui obviously can't take a detour to sāo disturb, this side of the wall still has to be guarded, the Imperial Association Army that has just settled down, no one is in charge, isn't it going to be reversed again?

Man Gui saw that the emperor was not allowed and was ready to fight again, but the emperor spoke again.

"......, in addition to strangling those tribes, you must also be ready to assemble, you are there, but the reserves, perhaps, may go to the battlefield, next year's war, now it is uncertain, rest assured, when the time comes, I will definitely let you go to the battlefield." Yang reformed.

"Obey the order!" Man Gui was satisfied.

"Do you have a way to crack it?" Yang Gai appeased Man Gui and asked again.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a strategy, I don't know if it's useful." Yuan Chonghuan was not to be outdone, máo Wenlong was the first to express his determination, claiming to support Jinning, even Man Gui said that he was going to use the road to fight, if he Yuan Chonghuan didn't say a word, wouldn't he say that he was a waste? Isn't it in vain that he has consulted the strategy for so long? ,

"Speak!" Yang reformed and said, I didn't expect that this has changed a lot in Yuan Chonghuan, this strategic vision has increased a lot, and when he talks and comes up with ideas, he is also a set, and he finally has something in his heart.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that according to Your Majesty's expectations, next year the Dongyu is very likely to open a chūn after the siege of a certain city, as a bait to lure yòu I Daming to the rescue, the minister feels that this is very possible, and previously there was a máo marshal said that he would scatter jīng Rui to drag the Dongyu, so that the Dongyu did not dare to go westward with all his strength, and the minister's strategy was also to drag down part of the Dongyu's troops, so that the Donglu did not dare to go westward with all his strength, so as to reduce the pressure of the siege, or rather, let the Dongyu have to attack, in order to achieve the purpose of besieging Wei and saving Zhao, The minister's idea is that if the Donglu besieges any city in the east and west, I can build a city in Gaizhou and Yaozhou along the coast, with the help ......of sea ships, to reach the belly of the Dongyu, so that the Donglu has to give up the siege and attack here to attack, if the Donglu dares to keep besieging the city, I can always build this castle on the top of the Dongyu Xiōng belly, the minister thinks that once this is the case, the siege will be relieved, maybe there is no need to build a city, make a long-term garrison, the minister estimates, the Donglu will definitely come back to attack, when the time comes, Whether it is to defend according to the geographical advantage, or to retreat by sea ship, the initiative is in the hands of my Daming, then the siege on both sides of the east and west will not be saved and solved......" Yuan Chonghuan confidently said his countermeasures.

Yang Reform said from Yuan Chonghuan, just find a position on the sand table, this Yuan Chonghuan doesn't know how, it seems that he has suddenly become smarter, I haven't seen him have such a far-sighted strategic vision before! This time, this guy wants to build a castle between Jinning and Dongjiang Town to attract Donglu's attention, regardless of whether this city is built or not, this strategic dynamic alone is enough to make Donglu have a reverie...... Yang Reform only said that Yuan Chonghuan has become smarter, but he doesn't know that Yuan Chonghuan is under pressure. If you can feel Yuan Chonghuan's pressure, then it is understandable that Yuan Chonghuan is smarter.

"To say, at the mouth of the Sancha River, looking for a place to settle down? Bī Dongyu withdraws troops? According to the topography on the sand table, between Jinzhou and Dongjiang Town, the estuary of the Sancha River is the closest to the nest of Dongyu, and it is possible to go up to Shenyang along the Sancha River, and with the convenience of the river, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a dagger on the mouth of Dongyu.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is exactly what the minister meant, I want to besiege the city, it's just for the sake of my Ming to go to the rescue, so as to fight in the field, but if I Ming take the opportunity to settle in this place, and even use warships to raid upstream, then the Donglu will definitely panic, and will definitely attack, and the forces of the Donglu have been scattered, to defend against the marshal of Máo, to defend Lin Dan Khan, but also to besiege the city, to attack, can only withdraw the siege, otherwise, there is not enough troops, it is impossible to pose a threat to me, the minister is in this place, there is no need to build a city, It only needs to have enough fortifications to consume the eastern captives, taking advantage of the sea ships, attacking and retreating, and it is precisely in line with His Majesty's entanglement strategy...... If it can be supplemented with more cannons, it will be better......" Yuan Chonghuan said confidently, and added more cannons at the end.

"Good!" When Yang Gai heard this, he also felt that it was a good way to withdraw his troops from the Donglu, and it could avoid a field battle and a decisive battle with the Dongyu.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead the water battalion to raid along the Sancha River, drag the Tartars, and let the Tartars come back to save ......" Seeing that Yuan Chonghuan was applauded by the emperor, he was not ambiguous, and expressed his willingness to participate in the attack.

"Hmm......" Yang Gai nodded, didn't speak, still looking at the sand table and thinking deeply.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the water camp to raid ......" Yuan Chonghuan said immediately, he finally figured out these things and found a place for himself to turn over, if you let Máo Wenlong snatch it again, will he still be alive?

Yang Reform just took a moment, when did the competition between Yuan Chonghuan and Máo Wenlong become so fierce?
