Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Officialdom has always been the most well-informed place, and the palace is not deep in Jiuzhong, but it leaks from all sides, and nothing can be hidden. Those guards who usually stand like wooden carved clay sculptures and the little eunuchs who sprinkle sweeps are not necessarily whose eyeliner is.
Ruan Dacheng supervised Jiangbei as an auxiliary scholar, and as soon as the news came out, the officialdom exploded. Everyone knows that with Gu Zhenhua's means and strength, will he care about a Ruan Dacheng!
Some time ago, another superintendent Shi Kefa died in Yanzhou, although there were countless people who sang praises of virtue, saying that Shi Kefa's command was determined, he was not afraid of danger, and he fought in a bloody battle, and finally his body was severely injured, he drew his sword and killed himself, and his body stood still.
Azig personally kowtowed and promised to protect the people of Yanzhou, and the body of the Shi Pavilion Department fell to the ground and died for the country!
Hearing these rumors, the common people wept bitterly, and some people even paid for Shi Kefa to build an ancestral hall to worship this heroic martyr.
But the really discerning people have an account in their hearts, and the tens of thousands of troops in Yanzhou all retreated calmly, with almost no losses, but they died of Shi Kefa. How many problems there are in this, you can figure it out with your toes.
If Ruan Dacheng arrives at the former enemy, it won't be good, and it won't take a few days for this to become holy and enjoy the four o'clock incense sacrifice!
In a word, leaving the capital and leaving the center of power, Ruan Dacheng is a waste.
These bureaucrats in the court, all who understand a little bit of things are rushing to meet Su Quanhe, the second assistant, and those who usually don't look down on this old coffin are all vying to kowtow, which is faster than a chameleon.
Ruan Dacheng is not a fool, after he returned to the mansion, he couldn't get sick directly, and the news of being bedridden came out within a few days. The overseer struggled to write a long letter to Gu Zhenhua during his illness, crying blood word by word, saying that he had the heart to serve the country, but God did not have mercy. The expulsion of the Tartars and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty also asked the Duke of Ji to shoulder the clouds......
There is no doubt that Ruan Dacheng has completely recognized it. Gu Zhenhua has already faked Su Quanhe, as well as Dai Ying, and completely controlled the power of the imperial court, the army, and the inner court. Gu Zhenhua's authority is so great that it is countless times stronger than Zhang Juzheng in the past!
Of course, as the saying goes, it's not cold in high places. Gu Zhenhua is also clear that if he wants to sit firmly in his current position, he must show his ability to the people of the world.
Driving the Tartars out of Lianghuai is the first answer sheet that Gu Zhenhua is ready to hand in!
"Admiral Shen, Ben Jue hopes that the sailor can ascend from Haizhou to 6, and then go straight to Huai'an. After taking Huai'an, he cut off Bolo's way to retreat, and then caught the turtle in the urn and solved Bolo's department! ”
Shen Tingyang heard Gu Zhenhua's plan, and hurriedly looked at the map, and said with a smile: "This method is so good, it is simply tailor-made for us." The Tartars lack the defense against the sea route, and it is no problem to attack Liaodong Nengcheng and Haizhou! ”
"Admiral Shen, how long do you estimate it will take Huai'an?"
Shen Tingyang said with a smile: "Seven days at most, according to the calculation of the distance, you can reach Haizhou within four days, and you can definitely reach Huai'an in two days from Haizhou to 6." The Tartars are lax in defense, and they are sure to take Huai'an on the backhand! ”
Gu Zhenhua thought for a while and said: "You can't underestimate the Tartars, the elite soldiers of Zhao Tian's regiment will be handed over to you, Huai'an is related to the overall situation, only victory is allowed, not defeat!" ”
Zhao Tian was the first batch of recruits recruited by Gu Zhenhua, all of whom were trained by Gu Zhenhua. Now they have become the backbone of An**.
Gu Zhenhua is brewing the next wave of military expansion, and at the same time, he must also implement the new military system and official system, and some of the original old brothers have gradually become generals in charge of the party. As for the new generation of generals who are really leading the troops on the front line. Their minds are completely new, and they have also been cultivated by Gu Zhenhua, and there is no problem with loyalty.
Now that he is also interested in promoting them, Shen Tingyang said with a smile: "I heard that these horses are all guards, the elite of the country's grandfather's sleeve!" ”
"Hahaha, Admiral Shen, since it has been handed over to you, I have to obey your command, you can use it boldly and boldly!"
Shen Tingyang nodded: "Grandpa Guo, since this is the case, the lowly post will go to rectify the people now, and immediately prepare to send troops." ”
After beating Shen Tingyang away, Gu Zhenhua called Ma Jinzhong, Jin Shengheng, and Liu Zhaoji to the front of the sand table, Ma Jinzhong and Jin Shengheng were quite familiar, but Liu Zhaoji was the first time he saw it, and he couldn't help but be amazed.
"This is Yangzhou, this is the canal, this is the Tartar barracks, it is really clear at a glance, it is ingenious!" Liu Zhaoji was surprised again and again.
Ma Jinzhong said with a smile: "Brother Liu, the role of this sand table is not small, in the past, it was said that it was on paper, but when it is placed on the sand table, it is not as good as the battlefield, but it can also be an eye-opener!" ”
Jin Shengheng also said: "Grandpa Guo, now Boluo has 7,000 True Tartars under his command, and there are more than 20,000 surrendered troops, mainly Liu Liangzuo's subordinates. Liu Liangzuo is dead, the Tatars treat these people extremely cruelly, and the morale of the army has been shaken, if our army can defeat the Tatars, it will inevitably cause them to collapse, and it will not be difficult to win! ”
Liu Zhaoji frowned, obviously not so optimistic.
"Even if there are only seven thousand True Tartars, it will be very difficult to defeat them in the wilderness. If I hold on to the city, I am not afraid of the Tartars, but when it comes to the field, their iron cavalry is indeed not to be underestimated! ”
Gu Zhenhua said with a smile: "What General Soldier Liu said is reasonable, but please rest assured, Benjue has transferred one hundred and twenty artillery pieces from Nanyang, which can be transported to Yangzhou within three days, and with the help of these artillery, how many Tartars can be shattered!" ”
"Grandpa Guo, I heard that you sent more than 100 guns to Huang Chuangzi, and now there are more than 100 guns, how many artillery pieces does An ** have?" Yan Yingyuan asked with a smile.
At the mention of artillery, Gu Zhenhua couldn't stop being proud.
To be honest, the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty are not worse than those of the West at the same time, and there are many of them. In addition, China has an unrivaled advantage that many people overlook.
Before the industrial age, the standing armies of the Western countries were pitifully small, and they simply could not understand how large-scale battles of hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, could occur in the land of the East!
Of course, it was this scale that made the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty accustomed to large-scale production. The ability to organize and coordinate has completely exploded the West.
Coupled with a slight mention by a prophet like Gu Zhenhua, these craftsmen quickly learned the detailed industrial division of labor, and also figured out the process of casting iron mold guns.
The Nanyang factory alone is estimated to be able to cast 500 artillery pieces of various types within a year, and by next year, it can be doubled, which is also where Gu Zhenhua's confidence lies.
"Lord Yan, it's hard to say how much you can make, but in another five years, the artillery alone will be able to bombard the Tartars back to Liaodong and the northwest wind!"
Everyone present showed a hearty smile, when everyone in the world was miserable, only Gu Zhenhua was full of confidence, and in a short period of time, it brought earth-shaking changes, and the hearts of the big guys were also lit with hope of victory.
The soldiers in Yangzhou were all fighting hard, waiting for the arrival of the counterattack.
At this time, Shen Tingyang had already taken his men and horses, set sail to the sea, and rode the monsoon north.
"Brother Zhao, are you still used to sitting on the boat every day?"
Zhao Tian said with a smile: "Lord Shen, I have been playing on the beach since I was a child, and when I am happy to be able to swim ten miles, it will not be difficult for me to take a boat." ”
"It seems that I think too much, there are many people in An**, and there must be a lot of people who are familiar with the sea."
Zhao Tian greeted the sea breeze and laughed: "My home is in Tianjin Wei, and when Ji Guogong went south, I followed Guogong." He promised us at the beginning that he would fight back to Tianjin, and this time he attacked Haizhou, which is not far from Tianjin! ”
Shen Tingyang also said: "Brother Zhao, although I am not from the north, but this pain, empathize, I wish you, and I also wish our big guys, can get rid of the Tartars as soon as possible and recover their homeland!" ”
They moved north along the coast quite quickly, and the original plan was to reach Haizhou in four days, but in fact it took only three and a half days.
However, to their surprise, the Tartars left quite a considerable defender in Haizhou. When the news came from the general in charge of the investigation, Shen Tingyang was also a little anxious. It wasn't that he was afraid of war, but if he alarmed the Tartars, it would affect their raid.
Zhao Tian suddenly smiled and said: "Lord Shen, I think it's better to outwit by attacking, let's just send some ships, disguise yourself as merchants, and deceive the Tartars!" ”
"What a great idea!"
Shen Tingyang nodded immediately, and they immediately selected twenty small and medium-sized ships, formed a fleet, and sailed towards Haizhou generously.
As they approached the port, they suddenly rushed past several small boats, all of which were covered with Tartars.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
"Returning to the military master, our fleet of Fan Yongdou Fan is full of salt, as well as silk and porcelain from the south of the Yangtze River!"
As soon as the Tartar who checked heard this, he came to his senses, this is all a good thing, he deliberately calmed his face, and said coldly: "Don't you know, there is a war right now, idle items and people, etc., are not allowed to go ashore!" ”
"My lord, we are not idle people, we are all a family, a small gift is not a tribute, please buy a bag of tea to drink"
As he spoke, the man on the boat took out a box and unfolded it to look at it, shining with gold and dazzling eyes.
When the Tartar saw Chijin, he grinned and said, "It's better for you to understand things, follow the master to the shore." ”
There were Tartars opening the way in front, and the ships behind easily passed through the customs and went directly into the port.
"Sir, why are the officials of the Tartars and the officials of the Ming Dynasty almost the same, the same greed!"
Zhao Tian said with a smile: "Why aren't the Tartars greedy, if they are greedy, they will be more ruthless than the officials of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
As they spoke, they arrived at the port, and the soldiers on board pretended to tie the ropes and carry the goods. At this time, the Tartars rushed over, and they were all smiling and grinning.
"You only gave the tea money, but you didn't have the money for snacks, so you can't let the brothers fill up with water, right?"
Zhao Tian suddenly laughed: "Everyone, don't worry, not only a little money, but also the girl's money, you can see it!" ”
As he spoke, his hand reached into his bosom, and several Tartars poked out their necks, their eyes flashing with silver.
Suddenly, Zhao Tian smiled contemptuously, and a handcuff was held in his hand.
"Go to Lord Yama and enjoy it!"
