With a sweep of his eyes, Chu Yi glanced at Fang Li and Tang Bohu, and after a little thought, he said: "Fang Li, this governor ordered you to stay in Nanjing, take charge of Nanjing's government affairs, and cooperate with Wang Li's command to ensure the peace of Nanjing." ”

Fang Li was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and his face couldn't help but show a little surprise, he chose to take refuge in Chu Yi in order to be able to hug Chu Yi's thigh.

Obviously, his choice was not wrong, his classmates and friends at the beginning are now three feet tall one by one, but he is reused by Chu Yi, and now he is even named by Chu Yi to stay in Nanjing.

The position left behind in Nanjing is not big, but it is not small, the key depends on how powerful Chu Yi allows him to be.

This is also Chu Yi handed over the military power to Wang Li, the commander, otherwise, as long as Fang Li is willing, he, the Nanjing guard, can control even the military power.

However, even if he could only master the government affairs of Nanjing City, this was a step to the sky for Fang Li.

Nanjing is not better than other places, but the southern capital of the Ming Dynasty, as long as he can take care of Nanjing City in an orderly manner, this is his qualifications, in the future, enter the house, return to the court, may not be able to enter the cabinet, as a cabinet minister.

For scholars, being able to enter the cabinet is already the pinnacle of their lives, and Fang Li's biggest dream is nothing more than that.

Holding back the excitement in his heart, Fang Li said respectfully to Chu Yi: "Although the chief manager can rest assured, his subordinates will definitely appease the people, develop the people's livelihood, and take care of Nanjing City in an orderly manner!" ”

Glancing at Fang Li lightly, Chu Yi nodded slowly and said: "How to clean up the situation in Nanjing City, I think you should know in your heart, there will be great governance after the chaos, I hope you don't disappoint this governor." ”

While speaking, Chu Yi looked at Tang Bohu and said, "Tang Yin! ”

Tang Bohu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Boss! ”

Chu Yi looked at Tang Bohu and said: "Originally, the governor was going to let you stay in Nanjing City and be a partner with Fang Li, but then I thought about it, the governor is going to shoot you to Yangzhou and be the prefect of Yangzhou, I don't know if you are willing?" ”

Yangzhou has now been broken by Wang Shouren, after the destruction of more than a dozen gentry such as the Xie family, Yangzhou City can be said to be a lot dilapidated, and it is in need of a cadre to sit in the town.

In particular, Yangzhou City is an extremely important node on the Grand Canal, and it is one of the largest cities in the south of the Yangtze River, which can be said to be very important in the south of the Yangtze River.

So Chu Yi thought about it, and finally thought of Tang Bohu.

Although Tang Bohu is not from Yangzhou, Tang Bohu was born in Suzhou and grew up in Jiangnan, and Tang Bohu is very familiar with the land of Jiangnan.

As for Tang Bohu's talent, to be honest, from Chu Yi's point of view, maybe Tang Bohu is not the kind of great sage like Xiang Zaifu, but his life has been bumpy, his vision and knowledge are not bad, and in the past two years by his side, if Chu Yi can't even see how much ability Tang Bohu has, it will be too incapable of knowing people.

If Tang Bohu is really in charge of a province, it will definitely be difficult for Tang Bohu, but a place like Yangzhou Mansion is just within Tang Bohu's ability.

Tang Bohu has been with him for a while, and it is not good to keep the other party by his side as a scribe, so taking advantage of this opportunity, Chu Yi arranged Tang Bohu in Yangzhou Mansion, which can be regarded as giving Tang Bohu a future, as for how much Tang Bohu can do in the future, it depends on Tang Bohu's own ability.

After arranging Fang Li and Tang Bohu, Chu Yi's gaze swept over Xu Tianzuo, Sun Qiu and other generals, and these generals puffed up their chests when they saw Chu Yi looking at them one by one.

I only heard Xu Tianzuo say to Chu Yi: "Chief Administrator, take us back to the Jingshi, I will wait for the bloody battle battlefield to let those Tatars know that it is powerful." ”

Chu Yi's eyes flashed with a strange look, he looked at Xu Tianzuo, Sun Qiu and the others, and said with a slight smile: "Tomorrow, the whole army will be organized, and the army will be pulled out!" ”

When the generals heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up, and their faces showed excitement.

As soldiers, merit and rewards naturally have to be obtained from the battlefield, if there is no war, they will have no chance of meritorious service, and it is naturally impossible to talk about what rewards they want.

Everyone knows that this battle against Tatar is definitely an opportunity for meritorious service, and if you miss it, I am afraid that there may not be such a good time in the future.

If it is said that like Wang Li, he was named by Chu Yi to stay in Jiangnan, but it was not the wish of Xu Tianzuo, Sun Qiu and others, they can be said to be newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, and they are not afraid of the Tatar invasion at all, but they are eager to fight.

Compared with Xu Tianzuo and Sun Qiu, who are in the prime of life, Wang Li is already over forty years old, and he can be regarded as an old qualification in the Beijing camp. Compared with Sun Qiu and Xu Tianzuo, they naturally had a little less momentum, and it was precisely because of this that they were named by Chu Yi to stay in the land south of the Yangtze River this time.

There were more than 50,000 troops, and the number of ships mobilized for the operation of the army alone reached hundreds.

These more than 50,000 troops can be described as carefully selected elites, after all, these days, the reinforcements sent from several surrounding provinces have also arrived in twos and threes, after Chu Yi's rectification, plus the captured Ning Wang rebels, it can be said that there are nearly 200,000 soldiers in the entire Nanjing City.

Fifty thousand elites were selected from them, and then some of the soldiers and horses from the provinces were sent back by Chu Yi, and the old, weak, sick and disabled who were eliminated at the same time were simply ordered by Chu Yi to take out as much as three million taels of silver and order them to be disarmed and returned to the field.

After all, King Ning raised troops and wantonly looted the young and strong people, causing the people around Nanchang to wither, and it just so happened that these old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers were placed by Chu Yi in the vicinity of Nanchang, which was plagued by King Ning.

The confiscated acres of land reached millions of acres, and with the confiscated gold and silver, Chu Yi easily completed the dismissal of nearly 100,000 soldiers.

After some rectification, nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses, including prisoners of war and soldiers from surrounding provinces and localities, shrank by nearly half at once.

It seems that the strength has been greatly reduced, but after Chu Yi's streamlining, the real elite and young and strong have been selected, and the strength of the reorganized army is far beyond the previous one.

Among them, 100,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people were resettled around Nanchang, with land and money, but these soldiers who were disarmed and returned to the fields could not have been settled more smoothly.

As for the rest of the men and horses, about 40,000 of them returned to the provinces, but one thing is certain, after these soldiers return, I am afraid that they will also be sent to King Qin, the capital of the capital as soon as possible.

Of the 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses left, 10,000 were left to Wang Li to sit in Nanjing, while the remaining 50,000 horses got on big boats and went straight down the Grand Canal to the north.

At a glance, the big boats that cover the sky and rivers are really more than ten miles away, and it can be said that the entire river is full of big boats.

On a huge flagship, Xu Tianzuo and Sun Qiu stood aside, facing the wind, watching the rolling river flow downstream, and their eyes involuntarily fell on Chu Yi, who was standing on the bow of the boat, with a big coat swaying slightly, and his eyes couldn't help but show awe.

Chu Yi looked at the scene on both sides of the strait, and said slowly: "How many days can we arrive in Tianjin?" ”

Xu Tianzuo, Sun Qiu and the others glanced at each other, only to hear Xu Tianzuo take a step forward and say: "Back to the general manager, if there is no accident, at most two days of effort, you can arrive in Tianjin City, and if you hurry up, you can arrive in Beijing from Tianjin in two days at most." ”

Chu Yi bowed slightly, at this time, Sun Qiu's face had a look of wanting to speak and stopping, as if he had made some decision, and saw Sun Qiu take a step forward and said to Chu Yi: "Overseer, there will be something to say in the end, I don't know whether to say it or not!" ”

Chu Yi turned around, looked at Sun Qiu with interest, and said with a slight smile: "Oh, I don't know what General Sun has to say, although what he said!" ”

Sun Qiu took a deep breath, looked at Chu Yi and said slowly: "Lord, the last general thinks that the Tatars have besieged the Beijing Division for nearly ten days, and now the city of Beijing is as stable as Mount Tai, in fact, even if I rush back to the Beijing Division at this time, I can't change the current situation." ”

The terrain around the Beijing division is flat, and this terrain is most suitable for the cavalry of the Tatar army, so even if there is a stalemate with the Tatar army at the moment, the Ming side has no intention of going out of the city to fight the Tatars.

Everyone knows that in the vast and flat land, the infantry is extremely difficult to deal with cavalry, and the Tatars are almost a water of cavalry, if you really want to fight the Tatars in the field, to be honest, even the most confident generals will not make such a choice.

As Sun Qiu said, when they returned to the Beijing Division at this time, it was actually difficult to change the current situation in the Beijing Division, which was nothing more than tens of thousands of troops, making the Beijing Division more stable.

As for wanting to annihilate the Tatar army, there is no hope.

Chu Yi smiled slightly, glanced at Sun Qiu and said, "Oh, then in your opinion, don't we have to go back to the Jingshi?" ”

Sun Qiu couldn't help frowning, he didn't dare to say if he didn't go back to help Jingshi, this was a matter of attitude, as a courtier, Jingshi was in trouble, if he didn't come back, no matter what the reason was, it would be a crime.

Seeing Sun Qiu's reaction in his eyes, Chu Yi slowly said with his hands behind his back: "Do you want to persuade this governor to rush thousands of miles to attack the rear of the Tatars?" ”

Sun Qiu suddenly raised his head and looked at Chu Yi with a surprised expression, just as Chu Yi said, he really wanted to persuade Chu Yi to do this.

In fact, including Xu Tianzuo, several generals did not have such thoughts in their hearts, they are also generals of the new generation in the army, and their military literacy is not so bad.

They can see the current situation in the land of Jingshi, whether they return to Beijing or not, it will not affect the overall situation, there are not many tens of thousands of them, and there are not many of them.

Therefore, the greatest significance of returning to Beijing at this time is nothing more than to boost the morale of the capital.

But if, as Sun Qiu said, thousands of miles to attack the rear of the Tatar people, it will be a merit of sealing the wolf, and once it succeeds, it will inevitably be remembered in history and through the ages.

Chu Yi swept over the crowd and said slowly: "You can think of it, how can this governor not think of it, but you don't want to think about it, how can it be so easy to run thousands of miles to attack the Tatar nest on the grassland?" ”

Sun Qiu and Xu Tianzuo showed a little disbelief on their faces, and Chu Yi said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Have you considered the problem of grain and grass, if you want to go deep into the prairie, even if you start from Beijing, it will be a long journey, tens of thousands of troops will go thousands of miles, thinking that at the beginning, Emperor Chengzu's five expeditions to Mobei, which time was not done by the strength of the whole country, I really want to come out like you, I am afraid that before I enter the grassland, I will collapse because of lack of food." ”

Running thousands of miles to the rear of the Tatars, this is naturally impossible if Chu Yi can't think of this, it seems to be very wonderful, once it succeeds, it will definitely go down in history.

But Chu Yi knows one thing better, that is, the probability of success of this move is almost remote.

First, now that the Tatar army has entered the Central Plains, the strength of the Ming Dynasty cannot support tens of thousands of troops to the north, and the head of the Tatars is now not on the prairie, but in Datong and Xuanfu to confront Yang Yiqing.

In other words, even if someone can lead an army to the steppe, it will not play the role of beheading to disturb the Tatar army, after all, as the Great Khan of the Tatars, Dayan Khan and other Tatar high-ranking people are all in the army.

I'm afraid that Dayan Khan will not take it to heart when he receives the news that the grassland was attacked by the Ming soldiers.

When Chu Yi said this, Sun Qiu and Xu Tianzuo showed shame on their faces.

After all, in the past few days on the big ship, they had secretly discussed, and this time Sun Qiu opened his mouth, it was not their common wish.

Obviously, because of the limitations of their position, Sun Qiu and Xu Tianzuo put themselves more in the position of a general, while Chu Yi is the master of an army, so they naturally have more issues to consider than them, and they naturally look more comprehensively than them.

Sun Qiu said with a look of disappointment: "What the chief manager said is very true, it is his subordinates who have not considered it!" ”

Chu Yi smiled slightly, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Although it is said that we can't run thousands of miles to attack the rear of the Tatars, we can contain the Tatar army in another way. ”

For Chu Yi, Xu Tianzuo and the others were convinced, and when they heard Chu Yi say this, they looked at Chu Yi with a bright light in their eyes.

Chu Yi said with a solemn face: "I will wait to go ashore from Tianjin, and then enter the land of Shanxi in a roundabout way, recapture the important town of Taiyuan, and give the Tatars a closed door to beat the dogs!" ”

The generals were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then their faces showed excitement.

Compared with the plan of a thousand-mile attack that was difficult to implement as they thought, the strategy that Chu Yi proposed at the moment was more suitable for the current situation.

The Tatar army went deep into the Central Plains, and if you really want to talk about it, it is also a great risk, once the retreat is blocked, it is possible that the 100,000 army will all be trapped in the Central Plains.
