Chapter 220: The Horn of War
Of course, not everyone supports Lin Fei, at least those landlords and old rich people hate Lin Fei, in their opinion, Lin Fei is simply their demon, the great savior of the poor ghosts, they actually deprived them of their land, gave them to use, and gave those poor ghosts so much work.
Moreover, the government administrators, military officers, etc., all give priority to those poor ghosts, so that these high-ranking characters have to work as hard as those poor ghosts here in Lin Fei, which is simply a great crime!
And the landlords outside the Guogong Mansion hated Lin Fei even more, and Lin Fei's existence was the biggest fault!
It's a pity that although they can influence public opinion and influence the court, the hateful thing is that the court can't beat Lin Fei's army, why didn't God open his eyes and destroy this guy who violated morality.
Of course, the curse of these people is naturally useless, this world itself is labor to create wealth, as long as Lin Fei catches the laborer, then he will have a steady stream of wealth.
As for the others, no matter how good they are, there is no use for eggs, only the icing on the cake, it may be okay to whitewash the Taiping numbers that look good, but they can't create value by themselves, and no matter how good-looking the numbers are, they are useless.
It is precisely because of this understanding, coupled with the absolute use of force, that Lin Fei does not care about the thoughts of the so-called elites, and those who seriously create the value of wealth will actually not have idle time and nonsense.
Now Lin Fei decided to launch a war against the imperial court for the sake of his subordinates to work better and work better, seize more land, seize more resources, liberate more laborers, and join his Guogong army!
An army of 100,000 has been dispatched, but there are still many troops in Lin Fei's hands, there are nearly 20,000 in the navy, 50,000 in the pro-guard army, and 230,000 soldiers and horses under the command of various generals, and the total number of soldiers and horses is almost 300,000, these 300,000 troops are enough for Lin Fei to unify Henan and Hebei and turn Beijing into a lonely city!
And Lin Fei's strategic plan is also like this, Beijing is a symbol of the Ming Dynasty, which must exist, but in other places, Lin Fei laughed.
First occupy the territory of the generals who have not yet occupied Henan and Hebei, and completely connect their territories, and then part of the troops will enter Guanzhong, and part of them will also sweep outside the plug, so that the remnants of the Manchu Tartars can not be too easy.
After the plan was drawn up, the army was quickly mobilized.
With such a large-scale mobilization of Lin Fei's army, he naturally couldn't hide it from the eyes and ears of the imperial court, and at this moment, Lu Xiangsheng, the new commander of the new army of the imperial court, was extremely ugly.
For three years, he worked hard to train the new army for the imperial court, but in three years, he had not fully trained, and there were too many problems in it, which made Lu Xiangsheng troubled.
First of all, there is the problem of army equipment, although the Ming Dynasty tried his best, but in the end, he could only grasp the equipment needed to build a 100,000 army, which was already the limit.
Second, no matter how much training you have, you can't reach the level of elite Lin Feijun.
The third is also the formation of combat effectiveness, which made Lu Xiangsheng spend a lot of effort, and finally had half the certainty of catching up with Lin Feijun.
Three years of training 100,000 troops, the combat effectiveness is only half of Lin Feijun's combat effectiveness, which makes Lu Xiangsheng, who learned that Lin Feijun has expanded his army again, is disappointed, he has the entire Ming court as the backing, and hundreds of officials are also rare to fully cooperate, but it is impossible to catch up with Lin Feijun at all, which makes Lu Xiangsheng, who has always been proud, how acceptable.
However, the new army is indeed powerful, in his opinion, the new army is enough to triple the previous Guanning iron cavalry, which is indeed amazing, but thinking of Lin Feijun, Lu Xiangsheng is worried.
And now that the worry has finally become a reality, all signs can show that the current Lin Feijun may indeed be preparing for the attack on the imperial court again!
"Aiqing, I wonder if the new army can stop that thief?"
Emperor Chongzhen asked hopefully, in order to form a new army, he has not bought new clothes for three years, even the palace has been reduced to the extreme, and the world's taxes have risen a lot, which is to meet the annual cost of a hundred taels of silver per person for the new army, and now Lin Feijun is going to use force, raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, now is the time to need a new army!
"Your Majesty!"
Lu Xiangsheng knelt on the ground in grief and shouted: "The old minister is incompetent, the old minister is incompetent!" ”
Seeing Lu Xiangsheng like this, Emperor Chongzhen plucked the cold in his heart: "Could it be that I have seen the wrong person again, and the old minister is also incompetent?" ”
At this moment, Chongzhen's heart was broken, he wanted to die, and he resented why he was the emperor, this emperor was not as good as ordinary people!
"Your Majesty!"
Lu Xiangsheng was shocked, what's wrong with the emperor? He also panicked all of a sudden, Da Ming finally had such a benevolent monarch, but there could be no mistakes!
"I'm fine!"
Chongzhen said weakly: "If the new army is useless, it is useless, it is God who makes Daming like this!" ”
"Your Majesty!"
Lu Xiangsheng knew that the emperor had misunderstood, and hurriedly said: "Although the emperor's new army did not achieve the effect expected by the old minister, it also has half the combat power of the forest thief army, and it can at least face off with three or five hundred thousand Guanning iron cavalry!" ”
"Really!?"
Chongzhen was stunned all of a sudden, and his eyes lit up and said, "The old minister doesn't play tricks on me!" ”
"How dare the old minister!"
Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly said: "It's just that Your Majesty consumes too much silver in vain, but it's still not as good as the forest thief, and now even the number has been thrown away by the forest thief, the old minister is really ashamed!" ”
"Hahahaha, not ashamed! Not ashamed! ”
With Lu Xiangsheng's guarantee, Chongzhen was full of spirits, and he was pleasantly surprised: "Although the army is still inferior to the forest thieves, but in the end it has the ability to fight a battle, and with this, then the people of the world will have confidence, and I believe that the time will come to defeat the forest thieves by gathering the power of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
Chongzhen thinks a lot, he is the lord of the world in the end, and now that he has a usable army, then he can call on the world to train new soldiers with the full strength of the lord of the Ming Dynasty, so he doesn't believe that Lin Fei really has three heads and six arms, and he can resist the counterattack of the people of the world!
And the recruits trained by Lu Xiang are the guarantee of all this, so that everyone can see that Lin Feijun is not completely unpredictable, but there is still hope for victory!
It's just that when Chongzhen was excited, Lin Fei directly started to launch a general attack with three routes of land and one navy, and the troops were divided into four routes!
The three-way army directly attacked Hebei all the way, Henan all the way, and Saiwai all the way.
And the other way of the navy, directly towards the Korean Peninsula, obviously Lin Fei attacked the country at the same time, will not let the surrounding small countries and strength idle, they must also try war!
The Second Route Army that attacked Henan and Hebei will meet after the division, and finally send troops to Guanzhong, and finally fully unify the entire northern Ming Dynasty except Beijing!
The fire has burned, and the pace of war has begun!
