Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Northern Expedition is Resolved

In addition to Lin Fengxiang and Lai Hanying's lack of personal ability, Wang Feng also found a very strict problem, that is, although Xiang Rong was repeatedly defeated by the Taiping Army, the Taiping Army not only failed to get any benefits from Xiang Rong's hands, but had several experiences of near-death and survival, Lin Lai and the two of them unconsciously revealed a trace of fear of Xiang Rong in their words, perhaps the whole army, there are far more than the two of them who have this kind of feeling.

Wang Feng frowned, treating phobia, except for a big victory, he had no better solution, so he could only put it aside for the time being, and patiently persuaded: "What the two generals said is reasonable, but at present, my Taiping Heavenly Kingdom only has Tianjing, a place with a big palm, whether in terms of manpower or financial resources, it is far from the Qing court, if you don't take Jiangnan, he can't afford to consume it, not to mention that Xiang Rong has already set up a village, presumably Qishan is not far from Tianjing, if you don't break Xiang Rong first, our army will be besieged by two large camps, The shape shì is even more bad! ”

As he was talking, Wang Feng bowed his hand to Yang Xiuqing: "My subordinates are willing to be a death squad, and tonight I will lead my troops to attack the Rong camp, and ask the king of the east to arrange the soldiers and horses to respond and open up the situation for my Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!" ”

"This" Yang Xiuqing did not take into account the master-slave relationship between tactics and strategy, he just felt that Lin Lai and Wang Feng's mention of one was safe, one was adventurous, each had its own reason, but also had its own risks and pros and cons, more importantly, he was the direct commander of the Taiping Army, and he had a deeper understanding of Xiang Rong, an old enemy, than anyone else, he didn't think that a sneak attack was useful in his selfish heart, but should he sacrifice Wang Feng to give it a try? For a moment, it was difficult to make a decision.

Unlike Yang Xiuqing's complicated thoughts, Shi Dakai and the others really made comparisons, and the city was temporarily quiet.

"Hahahaha~~" Wei Changhui suddenly burst out with a long laugh: "The Qing demon forces are scattered, and the armaments are relaxed, why should our army be in Jiangnan with Xiang Rong?" This king recognizes General Lin's construction, and is not in a hurry to take the initiative to attack for the time being, but we can't sit still, we should send a surprise army to take Beijing, the Qing demon will inevitably be caught off guard, and the people will panic, or they will learn from Emperor Yuan Shun to flee, so that the world will not be calm in the daytime? ”

Wang Feng was stunned, Wei Changhui's mention was completely based on speculation, is this buying lottery tickets or competing for the world?

"Good! North King is right! Lin Fengxiang praised it: "The Qing court has 800,000 troops, at first glance the strength is amazing, but it needs to be stationed in various city passes, but in fact, the strength is weak, although the army has been mobilized to gradually concentrate in the south of the Yangtze River, but our army does not need to fight hard with it, it should jump out of the south of the Yangtze River to fight on the outside line, not to mention the Qing demon is rotten, the people are complaining, if our army waves the Northern Expedition, it will be like a broken bamboo, Fengxiang is not material, I am willing to ask for my life!" ”

Li Kaifang also took it over and said: "I heard that Huaibei's twisters have revolted and responded, and they can rely on each other with our Northern Expeditionary Army, Kaifang is also willing to fight, and cooperate with General Lin to smash the demon's lair!" ”

"General Lin, General Li, the Northern Expedition must not be hasty!" Wang Feng hurriedly stopped!

Wei Changhui showed obvious displeasure, and snorted coldly: "Why not?" ”

Wang Feng hugged his fists and said: "Beijing is the foundation of the Qing court, it must be fortified with heavy troops, as far as I know, there are 100,000 soldiers in the Eight Banners alone, and our army's hasty northern expedition is tantamount to a sheep entering the tiger's mouth. ”

"Eh~~" Li Kaifang waved his hand disappreciably: "Brother Wang, today's China is ruled by Tatars, and the people are miserable, how similar is it to Yuan Wei?" When Zhu Hongwu's Northern Expedition was successful, why did our Taiping Army's Northern Expedition become a sheep into the tiger's mouth? ”

Wang Feng thought to himself, can you compare with Zhu Yuanzhang in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? Zhu Yuanzhang's ministers are like rain, fierce generals are like clouds, and he has won the hearts of the people, but what is there in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? The separate camp for men and women and the holy treasury system alone have chilled people's hearts, and other things such as the exclusion of intellectuals, personal vision and ability, not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang, and even Li Zicheng are not as good as them.

But this can't be said clearly, if you say it, you are looking for death, Wang Feng groaned slightly, and picked up a more pertinent reason: "General Li, Zhu Hongwu Cai bachelor Zhu Gao built a wall, accumulated grain, and slowly called the king's opinion, after occupying Nanjing, he devoted himself to business for many years, accumulated rich manpower and material resources, and successively extinguished Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng and other righteous armies, unified Jiangnan, and then waved the Northern Expedition, and I Taiping Heavenly Kingdom fixed the capital of Tianjing for less than a month, and there were Xiang Rong and Qi Shan, and Su Xichang Zhenyang was still in the hands of the Qing Demon, There are also Zhejiang soldiers behind who can cross the Qiantang River at any time, and it is necessary to mobilize the people, develop production, and provide sufficient material support for the extinguishment of the Qing demons, so Wang Feng believes that the Northern Expedition should be slow rather than urgent. ”

"Wang Feng, what do you mean?" Huang Weijiang took it over, and said in a strange manner: "Could it be that you are insinuating that the Heavenly King and the Eastern King are short-sighted, so happy?" ”

Suddenly, a wave of anger immediately exploded, Wang Feng glared at Huang Weijiang angrily, he really couldn't figure out how Yang Xiuqing could have such a traitorous villain around him, in fact, not only him, Su Sanniang and Yang Shuijiao's phoenix eyes also shot a cold light, only Hong Xuanjiao looked at Wang Feng with a smile.

Huang Weijiang's heart was cold, he couldn't help but take two steps back, and said with a change of color: "Could it be that this official has wronged you?" Today, who doesn't know that the general trend of the Qing Demon has gone? If you don't go on the Northern Expedition, why don't you give him a chance to breathe? This official looks at you, not only do you mess with our army's heart with your evil words, but you may surrender, but you also have other plans! ”

"Enough!" Shi Dakai waved his hand and said unhappily: "It's just a matter of facts, Brother Wang is just putting forward his own opinions, don't buckle your hat indiscriminately." ”

Wei Changhui was still watching the show, because Wang Feng and Huang Weijiang were both subordinates of the East Palace, he wanted to see how Yang Xiuqing dealt with it, but with Shi Dakai inserting a bar, he had no choice but to stop it.

Secretly saying a pity, Wei Changhui said to Yang Xiuqing: "Dongwang, Wang Feng's opinion sounds good, but there is an uncertain factor of foreigners today, and the shape is slightly different from the end of the Yuan Dynasty. ”

Yang Xiuqing looked at the Xiangrong camp under the city, and said, "General Lin, General Li, give you two months to prepare, and the Northern Expedition will be two months later!" ”

"Thank you, King Dong!" Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang both gave up!

Lai Hanying followed Shi Yili: "King Dong, it's not that I'm unlucky, but the Northern Expedition is a lone army that is deep and full of variables, and it may take a long time to attack the city of Beijing, and now Xiang Rong has set up a large camp, if the upstream Qing army goes down the river and cooperates with Xiang Rong to attack the city, I am afraid that our army will fall into the situation of being attacked on the back of the enemy, so the last general is willing to lead the water army to reoccupy the two important towns of Jiujiang and Anqing in the upper reaches to ensure that I have no worries in Tianjing." ”

Wang Feng shook his head when he heard this, divided his troops to fight, and stretched the battle line, which is really a taboo for soldiers, in fact, it is necessary to protect Nanjing, and it is enough to guard the upstream Dangtu, if in order to expand the territory, he should immediately stop the Northern Expedition, concentrate his forces to take Wuchang, completely control the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and then slowly open up the situation, but he will not be bored with himself, but it is a pity that tens of thousands of Taiping soldiers may return to the battlefield!
