Chapter 418: The War Has Not Stopped

The ink has been polished, the paper has been spread, this time it is really going to write a war report, with Huang Tingjian's talent, this should have been a one-stroke thing, but he has been difficult to write for a long time, and his heart has risen and fallen, and it is difficult to calm down.

He still does not understand why Nguyen Zhishun's 70,000-strong army suddenly gave up the defensive and rushed to Pennsylvania, as if he had deliberately come to die. And how did Yang Yi predict Ruan Zhishun's thoughts, make a lot of preparations in advance, and also sent Liu Wu thousands of miles to intersperse and snatch Kunlun Pass, so that Ruan Zhishun's 70,000 army became a turtle in the urn.

The battle is over, and for an outsider like Huang Tingjian, the whole process is still like a fog, difficult to see clearly.

Huang Tingjian felt a trace of bitterness inexplicably in his heart, Yang Yi said that he had always been lucky, so he had risen more than ten steps in a few years, ranking high in the position of a third-grade scholar, was this really Yang Yi's luck?

Huang Tingjian let out a long breath of depression in his chest, he used to think very highly of himself, and looked down on Yang Yi who suddenly got a high position, according to the habits of the past dynasties, this kind of person who suddenly got a high position is almost all flattering and sloppy people.

Starting from Guizhou, except for hearing Yang Yi give two reckless orders, he didn't see Yang Yi make any arrangements, in his mind, leading troops to fight, the handsome tent should be a list of generals, the heralds frequently enter and exit, all kinds of general orders are issued like water, the army keeps moving, and keeps advancing......

But what Huang Tingjian saw was not like this, Yang Yi almost did not mobilize any troops, and after arriving in Pennsylvania, he did not move except for a feint attack at Kunlun Pass, and since the Southern Expedition, there have been less than five military orders officially signed, and there are no food and grass logistics matters. He rarely asked, and left it all to his generals to deal with.

Every day, he was busy entertaining the heads of various departments, and he also accepted an eight-hole Miao girl as a girl, and everything Yang Yi had was far from the image of the commander of the army in Huang Tingjian's opinion.

But the soldiers admired him very much, and no matter how arrogant the generals were, they were as good as cats in his hands, and even Ruan Zhishun took the initiative to send him to death. Yang Yi didn't do anything, but in the blink of an eye, he wiped out the 100,000 army of Jiaozhi......

Huang Tingjian suddenly felt extremely ridiculous, and Yang Yi was desolate. Yourself is ridiculous, the world is all ridiculous.

In the hall of the state office, Yang Yi looked at Ruan Zhishun under the hall. His face was pale, but his expression was calm, and there were stains of blood on the placket of his clothes.

"Untie!"

Yang Yi gave a faint order, and the guards immediately loosened the rope on Ruan Zhishun's body, in general, Ruan Zhishun was a respectable opponent, although he was defeated, but Yang Yi thought that if he stood in his position, he might not be able to do better.

Ruan Zhishun was unmoved, still looking at him calmly. Yang Yi is young, he already knows this, he even knows Yang Yi's birthday, but he didn't expect him to be so elegant and dressed in a Confucian shirt. Elegant and extraordinary, there is a pretty Miao girl standing next to her, not like the commander of the three armies, but like a rich boy who travels.

"I heard you wanted to see me?" Yang Yi asked.

"Because I don't know enough about you." Nguyen Chi Soon seemed to answer the question.

"All you can understand is always the past me."

"But everybody always has some habits to keep."

"That's what I've been trying to overcome, and that's what everyone who leads the troops has to overcome."

"Actually. Your habits haven't changed. ”

"But the right time and place are different, and the same habits will also take different forms."

"So I lost!"

Yang Yi smiled and didn't continue, in fact, his moves are not too clever, they are nothing more than setting up a bureau to dig a pit, anti-rape and lure, diverting the tiger from the mountain, and the mixed use of these strategies to wait for work and close the door to catch thieves, to put it bluntly, it is worthless.

But until the fog is lifted, it's a nirvana. Because Yang Yi's plans were formulated according to the battlefield situation and Ruan Zhishun's character. …,

The battlefield situation forced Ruan Zhishun to take a big gamble, and his character also determined that he would take a risky gamble.

Ruan Zhishun was quickly taken down to be guarded by a special person, Yang Yi didn't have much time to rub his tongue with him, and he didn't have the habit of shaking his prestige in front of the loser, which was not only unnecessary, but would make people feel shallow and boring.

Everyone's opponent is always in front, and if you defeat one, there will be more powerful ones for you to face. If you want to keep moving forward in your life, you must always keep your eyes on the front, not the opponent who has been stepped on by you, otherwise you are destined to become a stepping stone for others.

These truths are very simple, but they are the easiest to forget, countless heroes and heroes are folded on this point, not that they don't understand this truth, but once people are successful, it is often difficult to control themselves.

Xian Lingzhu looked at him sideways, the Miao family didn't have so many men and women to avoid, and the girls usually went to the song to sing to the mountain song in the song polder, which meant a little free love.

But in general, she is much more honest in front of Yang Yi now, at least she doesn't dare to brag that she can defeat Yang Yi's army in eight holes.

When 20,000 grenades blew up the Vietnamese troops under the city, she also watched from the top of the city, and she still has palpitations. Of course, she was not the only one who was frightened, at that time, Yang Yi deliberately let the twenty-six leaders go to the city to watch together, and the intention was self-evident.

Yang Yi was about to recruit Bao Yi and other generals to discuss the matter, Huang Tingjian transferred out of the second hall, Yang Yi took the victory document he handed over and read it carefully, Huang Tingjian was brilliant in writing, and it was not a problem to write a good news.

But when Yang Yi saw the number of enemies destroyed, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Huang Tong didn't think he had written a good news, right?" You have to report more of the number of enemies annihilated, this is not a false report of war achievements, because when the imperial court receives the report, it will usually be reduced, if you report it truthfully, the imperial court will still think that you have a false report, and it will be reduced according to the usual practice, I Yang Yi doesn't care, but I am afraid that the soldiers of the southern expedition will be dissatisfied when they arrive. ”

Interlaced like a mountain, Huang Tingjian used to be engaged in education and history revision work, and he really didn't know these military conventions, he glanced at Yang Yi, and felt that Yang Yi didn't criticize him, and then asked: "I also hope that General Manager Yang will show me, how much should be reported to be appropriate, and the next official will revise it." ”

"Just report 10,000 more!"

"The subordinate officer takes the order."

In fact, it is common for every dynasty and generation to falsely report their military exploits, and some border generals have annihilated 500 enemies. even dared to report 10,000, precisely because this phenomenon is widespread, the imperial court will often cut some amounts according to the good news of the border generals. Yang Yi now has a total of 100,000 enemies annihilated, and 10,000 more is reasonable, Huang Tingjian did not resist anymore after hearing this, and honestly rewrote the good news.

Since joining the army. Yang Yi has always treated him well, Huang Tingjian pondered carefully, and vaguely guessed why Yang Yi recruited him to the army.

Yang Yi will soon be Bao Yi. Cheng Jie and the others were summoned together, and now there is a problem that is really a headache, that is, the supply of grain and grass.

This rain rained for several days on end. Until now, the water level of the Xijiang River has risen sharply, the water flow is turbulent, and the grain and grass in Guangzhou have not yet arrived.

In Yang Yi's message to Ruan Zhishun, the lack of food in the army is not false. Before Nguyen Zhishun was set up, Pennsylvania's rations had already been halved.

Now that the supply problem cannot be solved, the army will not be able to advance southward, and a total of more than 60,000 Vietnamese troops have been captured, and they also have to open their mouths to eat, which is a rare human resource. You can't let them starve to death.

This matter has become imminent and has become the first thing to solve.

Cheng Jie and the others frowned and thought about countermeasures, and Liu Fengming spoke first: "Chief, this time our army has captured more than a thousand elephants, and these elephants can be used for combat in addition to them. I heard that Cochin is usually more commonly used to transport grain and grass, so why don't we make use of it too! ”…,

"Not bad, not bad." Yang Yi listened to it again and again, these big guys are used for logistics transportation, which is much more practical than chariots and horses, if an elephant can transport a ton of grain and grass. A thousand heads is a thousand tons, and if they are transported by manpower, often when the grain and grass arrive, half of it has already been eaten by the people who transported it.

The use of elephants is not only suitable for the terrain of Lingnan, but also can greatly reduce this consumption, Yang Yi can't help but be a little annoyed, but at that time, three or four hundred elephants were killed, it is a pity.

"Liu Fengming, you don't have to worry about anything else, just take these elephants east to transport grain, you must be fast, the supply of grain and grass in Pennsylvania is only enough for a few days, and in a few days, I am afraid that the soldiers will not be able to guarantee that they will be half-full."

"Well, that's what I'm going to do."

Liu Fengming withdrew, and Cheng Jie, the envoy of Guangxi Economic Strategy, asked: "Chief Manager Yang, this time the Jiaozhi lost 100,000 soldiers, and there are not many troops in his country to compete with Wang Shi, I don't know what General Manager Yang plans next, and the lower officials should try to cooperate." ”

Yang Yi knocked lightly on the table and said: "There is no need to worry about Cheng Jingliu militarily, presumably Cheng Jingliu has also learned that the imperial court intends to completely pacify Jiaozhi this time, and incorporate Jiaozhi into the territory of my Great Song Dynasty, and the total number of soldiers who can fight in Jiaozhi is only 1120,000, and most of this time is folded in Guangnan, and the problem of pacifying Jiaozhi militarily is not big, but after these lands and people are recovered, how to maintain peace and stability for a long time is a tricky matter." ”

"What Chief Yang said is extremely true, I don't know what arrangements the imperial court has for this, and the lower officials will definitely do their best to share the worries of the country."

"There are indeed a lot of things to be done by Lord Cheng, and the reason why the dynasties lack control over Lingnan is actually not the main reason, mainly because of the narrow roads and inconvenient transportation in Lingnan Mountain. In order to ensure the long-term stability of Lingnan and make the people's livelihood prosperous, the imperial court planned to build two straight roads in Lingnan this time, one vertical and one horizontal, from Changsha through Guizhou, Liuzhou, Binzhou, Yongzhou, and directly to Qinzhou, and then build a large port in Qinzhou, set up a city shipping department, and allow foreign merchants to come to Qinzhou for trade. From Yizhou through Pennzhou, Guizhou, Xunzhou, Tengzhou, Wuzhou, Duanzhou, to Guangzhou. ”

Yang Yi said this, the civil officials and military generals sitting there were all dumbfounded, these two straight roads add up to no less than 3,000 li, and they are built in the mountainous terrain of Lingnan, and the amount of work is not less than the current Yellow River project, if two huge projects are carried out at the same time, can the imperial court afford it?

Yang Yi smiled and said: "From this year onwards, the annual income of the imperial court is expected to exceed 250 million yuan, and it is not a problem to invest 20 million or 30 million yuan in Lingnan every year. What's more, explosives can now be used to open mountains and stones, which greatly reduces the difficulty of building roads. The imperial court did not plan to repair it in a year, all the projects will be done according to their capabilities, the more the annual income, the more money, the less the annual income, the less investment, there is no need to make a fuss. In the future, the imperial court can firmly control the land of Lingnan, and the people's livelihood here will also be greatly developed, and there will be great benefits for the country and the people, but if you want to complete this project, you must work hard and fulfill your duties. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
