Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Ma Shiying was very surprised and said, "The prince wants to go out in person?" ”
"Not bad" Zhai Zhe played with the white porcelain cup lid in his hand.
Ma Shiying hesitated and said, "The strong generals under the command of the prince are like clouds, why do you need to take risks yourself?" ”
He had hidden worries that Zhai Zhe left Nanjing City, and the contradictions that were now covered up were easily revealed. He is the person who relies on Zhai Zhe the most, whether it is the Donglin Party or the north, he can't be relied on.
Although Chen Zilong is very kind, they are natural enemies. Zong Mao's domineering appearance, except for him taking the initiative to get close to others, it is difficult for others to have a relationship with him.
"Because this is a big battle, I can't catch up with the recovery of Jiangnan, but it's far away from the battle of Huguang" Zhai Zhe was a little sad in his eyebrows, he didn't know how determined Dolgon would be.
If it was a war between the Qing court and the Ming Dynasty, it would be a bit early for the Ming Dynasty.
However, the Qing court had the difficulties of the Qing court.
There were many internal contradictions in the Qing court, and Dolgon's position as regent was not justified, and the quagmire of battlefields was forcing the contradictions of the Eight Banners to be exposed
The court decided the battlefield, for the Qing court, and the same for the Ming Dynasty.
He made concessions to the Donglin Party and put pressure on the Donglin Party in order to ensure the maximum stability of the Ming court. Fan Yongdou didn't understand why he would give in to Plug Yinxi, and although the businessman was shrewd, how could he understand his long-term vision.
The Donglin Party has an unshirkable responsibility for the death of the Ming Dynasty, but how can it put all the blame on the Donglin Party. The scholars in Jiangnan are like children who are used to being spoiled, but they are their own children after all.
For example, Chen Zilong revised Xu Guangqi's "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration", such as the life of several societies would rather die than shave, such as blocking Yinxi to accept the loyalty camp in Huguang, how could he kill all those people for his own benefit. He can forgive Zhu Dadian, and of course he can forgive more people, except for Zhang Mingzhen, who can't be resurrected after death.
Ma Shiying arched his hand and said: "Since the prince has made up his mind, I can only wish the prince a victory and recover the Central Plains as soon as possible."
"The war is likely to be protracted"
Ma Shiying stood up, bowed deeply, and said, "Please rest assured, with me in Nanjing, I will never let the court go into chaos."
"Okay" Zhai Zhe nodded slightly, and said, "If there is an emergency, you can find Jin Xiaoding"
He entrusted the Nanjing cabinet to a man who had plotted to assassinate him, rather than to his in-laws, Chen Zilong. It surprised Ma Shiying and surprised everyone.
Chen Zilong is a gentleman, and Ma Shiying is a flexible minister.
Ma Shiying had a complicated expression on his face, sighed, and said, "I am really ashamed that the prince treats me so kindly."
He is not a mediocre official, although he is somewhat unscrupulous.
Zhai Zhe asked, "Does the Ma Ge Department know what I'm most worried about?" ”
"Zheng of Fujian and Guangdong"
Zhai Zhe nodded and said, "Yes, Zheng Zhilong makes me feel like a man."
He expressed his opinion of Zheng Zhilong to others again, and he was an outsider. Ma Shiying was flattered and said: "Zheng Zhilong is known to advance and retreat, I will find a way to stabilize him"
Zhai Zhe said goodbye and returned to the Jin Palace, and issued several military orders in a row, Li Zhi'an, Zheng Zunqian, Sun Zhijing and others each led a large army to cross the river, and the Ming army was elite.
At the end of March, the smoke and rain were hazy, and the Yangtze River could not be seen more than a few dozen steps away. Zhai Zhe led 2,000 guards across the river to the north, accompanied by his fourteen-year-old son Zhai Tianjian
Fourteen years old is very young, and it was a little early to go to war.
In front of the Jin Palace, Fan Yi had tears in his eyes.
Zhai Zhe specially ordered the craftsman to create a small set of armor for his son, but Zhai Tianjian was growing his body, and he was afraid that he would not be able to wear this armor for long.
Fan Yi stroked Zhai Tianjian's cold iron armor and instructed: "Don't run around when you go to the army, follow your father, don't go to the battlefield to be strong" The woman's nagging continued.
Zhai Tianxing also came out, grabbing the corner of Zhai Tianjian's clothes with envy on his face.
"Brother, I'm going to the battlefield too" He was much shorter than Zhai Tianjian, clenching his fists to show his strength.
"When you're my age, I'll talk to my father."
Zhai Tianxing nodded heavily, seeing that Zhai Zhe was not far away, he didn't dare to approach.
Zhai Tianjian was assigned to Fang Jin's guard team and was on duty with the other guards. Nominally, of course, in fact, it can't be so harsh, Zhai Zhe just wants him to feel the battlefield.
Books are always shallow, and if you can't experience them personally, it's hard to understand the true meaning of the words in the book.
Zhai Tianjian was initially curious about everything in the army, and he didn't feel bored at all. However, he had never been in the army, he was not familiar with military drills, and he suffered a lot with Fang Jin.
The warships kept carrying heavy artillery across the river, and it was not a field gun used on duty, but a direct-fire gun weighing a thousand pounds.
Zhai Zhe personally sat in Taixing, Li Zhi'an was the commander of the front battalion, Yan Yingyuan was the guide, and Zheng Zunqian and Sun Zhijing, a total of 50,000 troops, approached the city of Yangzhou.
There were 30,000 defenders in the city of Yangzhou, and Bolo had already received the news of the defeat of Aobai at this moment.
The fog can hide a lot of information, but the Ming army has too many people to cross the river, and it can't hide the scouts in Yangzhou City.
At the end of March, the spies who had fled from Nanjing brought back the astonishing information that the king of the Ming court and Jin had personally led his army north.
Bolo did not dare to go out of the city, and ordered the messenger to report to Beijing urgently.
The messenger left the city, and the Ming army tested the cannon outside the city of Yangzhou, and the roar woke up the city in the fog.
Gangnam.
The government soldiers of Nanzhili and Zhejiang were constantly transferred across the river and concentrated in Taixing City.
In the city of Nanjing, the first dispute broke out in the cabinet.
"This is the spring ploughing season, and the spring ploughing season" Plug Yinxi particularly emphasized. He thought Zhai Zhe was too hasty. The rest of the people were silent, and Chen Zilong and Zhang Guowei also had the same opinion.
In the spring ploughing season, 100,000 government soldiers were dispatched to cross the river, and the impact on the people in the south of the Yangtze River was self-evident.
The Donglin Party has always advocated cherishing the people's power.
Ma Shiying said: "Now that the general has made a decision, and all the regular soldiers and government soldiers are crossing the river, we should no longer quarrel over the timing of sending troops, and the cabinet must work together to prepare food, grass and weapons for the army." ”
Du Yinxi sighed: "Of course I support the general, but there are rumors in various parts of the Jiangnan that the squires are unwilling to donate money, and the young men are unwilling to go north, I am just worried about the prospects of the Northern Expedition." ”
The south of the Yangtze River is rich, but the north of the Yangtze River is barren. Whenever the Northern Expedition is made, this problem will be encountered.
When he was protecting his family, everyone in Jiangnan could work hard, but the Northern Expedition was not everyone's will. The common people and squires did not have so much foresight, they only wanted to live an ordinary life.
Chen Zilong frowned and said, "As long as a few of us can work together to help the general, I believe we can get through the difficulties."
In the cabinet, Qian Sule and Zhang Guowei are from eastern Zhejiang, Du Yinxi is from Huguang, Chen Zilong is the former governor of Nanzhili, and Ma Shiying represents the eunuch forces.
This is exactly Zhai Zhe's layout.
The victory or defeat of the Northern Expedition has been closely related to several scholars here.
