Chapter Forty-Nine: Spring Trip I
readx;?? After the port was far from the frozen period due to the gradual warming of the weather, Zhang Jiashi began to plan to attack the Japanese island of Kyushu. Pen % fun % ge: www.biquge.info.vd.m[εδΈζ―^^ε₯^^δΈ^^ζ^^η½]
Although even the current Jeju Island is still speeding up the construction of the port can be completed suddenly, Zhang Jiashi will have to prepare the corresponding materials at the earliest in the spring and dispatch troops for corresponding coordinated training.
Perhaps, for example, some warmer inland river areas, such as the Han River valley in North Korea, still seem to be able to meet some requirements, such as familiarizing the corresponding troops with the ships and their own resistance to seasickness on board, but in the case of cold weather, to prevent large-scale accidental casualties, attrition, or even death, Zhang Jiashi at most ordered the corresponding personnel to train the seaborne resistance of livestock mounts.
......
On March 8, 208 B.C., less than three or four months after Zhang Jiashi's roughly judged Chen Sheng and Wu Guangjiegan uprising, more than 20,000 Qin troops and the main force of Lou Chuanshi under Qin Min gathered on the southeast coast of Korea and Jeju Island, and the islands around the Tsushima Islands for corresponding training and material mobilization.
Zhang Jiashi had in mind that he hoped to be able to formally send troops to the Korean region by May, and then formally end the combat mission on Kyushu Island by July.
Time seemed to be abundant, but after thinking about it for a few days, Zhang Jiashi revised the operation time again, and even directly revised the battle plan in a big way.
After all, Zhang Jiashi didn't want his operations to give him an "unexpected surprise" because of the typhoons that frequently landed on the four islands of Japan.
Zhang Jiashi did not intend that his battle would be like the Mongol army he knew, falling under the blow of a typhoon.
Zhang Jiashi's revised battle plan was to have a group of troops of more than 5,000 or less than 10,000 people launch a landing attack first, and seize the Hakata area of Japan's Kyushu Island or a certain place on the west coast of Kyushu.
The follow-up troops and corresponding materials are the main force of the fleet that will be transported again and will be launched in the second phase.
For the strategists who are basically blind to the situation in Japan, there is no reason why this plan is true.
However, after Chen Ping and Sun Po glanced at each other, they said a doubt in their hearts to Zhang Jiashi: "My lord, which captain do you want to lead the troops in this battle?"
"Huh?" Zhang Jiashi was stunned, because he really ignored the question.
............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................
It was not the first time that a 20,000-strong (in fact, more) force had been carried out for the entire Zuo General's Mansion, not to mention the scale of the attack on the Korean region, which reached about 25,000 men in the medium-term operation, and this was only counting the number of the main forces under Zhang Jiashi's command.
Even in the Battle of the Great Wall, which was fought from May to early July of the previous year, the troops under Zhang Jiashi's command almost poured out.
However, who should be responsible for Zhang Jiashi's operation, but Zhang Jiashi couldn't get the result after thinking about it for a whole night.
This is not to say that Zhang Jiashi is reluctant to divide a senior military attache at the level of a county commander again, but that many of the personnel under his command are not suitable for the command of this operation.
Excluding Su Jiao and the two county commanders who need to sit in the Liaodong region and the Korean region respectively, there are more than 40 commanders and lieutenants at all levels under Zhang Jiashi, and there are not many people who can be qualified for promotion. And there are very few people who really reassure Zhang Jiashi.
After a night of detailed thinking, Zhang Jiashi thought of five most suitable candidates.
Han Xin, Zhang Jiashi's most reassuring person is him, but out of fear that the troubled times are coming, Zhang Jiashi can't let his subordinates have the strongest comprehensive ability to do this kind of "stupid thing", of course, if Zhang Jiashi plans to occupy Japan and become the "monkey king" of a group of Japanese monkeys, it is appropriate to do so. But, Zhang Jiashi wouldn't think so.
Su Teng, as the commander with the most combat experience under Zhang Jiashi, participated in the three most important foreign operations in General Zuo's Mansion. But Su Teng is not the most ideal candidate, if it weren't for his prestige and actual combat experience, Zhang Jiashi would not have included him in the object of thought.
After all, Su Teng, who was born in cavalry, coordinated and commanded a mixed combat unit dominated by light infantry, which was more of an overkill. Zhang Jiashi believed that the other party could play a greater role by staying in this place and then participating in the troubled times at the end of the Qin Dynasty.
Li Cang, as one of the six captains under Zhang Jiashi (Han Xin, Su Teng, Ruan Weng Shao, Huan Suo, Li Cang, Qin Min), Zhang Jiashi did not think about letting the other party be in charge of this operation.
However, Li Cang's background is too special, and in terms of the topography of Kyushu Island and the nature of the main force of the convict army under Li Cang, Zhang Jiashi knows very well that once he makes such an arrangement, there will be some problems.
Even if Zhang Jiashi trusted Li Cang again, what could he do? Once Li Cang was really "added to the yellow robe" by those prisoners, he really had no place to cry.
Huan Su seems to be the most suitable candidate, and Huan Suo, who is now in charge of dealing with the defense of Liaoxi County in the west, is also one of the captains under Zhang Jiashi who has been in charge of heavy troops for the longest time.
He is also one of the most suitable candidates, but Zhang Jiashi can't easily mobilize a general who has been sitting in the "border" for a long time during this sensitive period, if He Huai of Liaoxi County takes advantage of the new commander's unstable foothold and launches an attack, he will really cry without tears.
The most suitable candidate next is Nguyen Weng Shao.
From the name of the six lieutenants, it seems to explain this point. But Zhang Jiashi can't rest assured of Ruan Weng Shao's internal political ability, because you don't complain to him once or twice when you take the car, saying that Ruan Weng Shao's internal affairs are a mess, and the internal affairs of the military camp can still be passed, but where Li Zuoche complains is that Ruan Weng Shao's civil affairs handling ability really makes him unbearable.
In order to solve the problems caused by Nguyen Ong Thao, Li Zuoche even had to buy a house in the regional center in the west of the Korean region.
Well, Zhang Jiashi can imagine now that if Ruan Weng Shao is allowed to take charge alone, once he really lets the other party handle the internal affairs of Kyushu Island...... That was a really catastrophic situation.
After passing the five candidates in his heart one by one, Zhang Jiashi had to count the other personnel.
Qin Min and Zhang Jiashi thought of it, and he directly vetoed his idea. After all, Qin Min is now the commander of the Lou Chuanshi troops, and it is not impossible to let the other party command this operation, but who should he find to command the hundreds of ships of the Lou Chuanshi troops under his hands???
This time, it is not just the army unit that has become the protagonist, the Lou Chuanshi who is responsible for the transportation of logistics and materials has to bear a heavier responsibility than the matter of fighting in the Korean region, once Zhang Jiashi himself is not familiar with the selection of the Lou Chuanshi to command the Lou Chuanshi troops, once there is something that could have been avoided, Zhang Jiashi should really slap tofu on his head.
The six lieutenants have all failed to be elected because of Zhang Jiashi's various calculations......
As for some other lieutenants, Zhang Jiashi, after careful consideration, found that many people either failed in some aspects, or were simply "shot" by Zhang Jiashi without thinking about it.
If Gonggong Xi knew about Zhang Jiashi's distress, maybe he would have said a hint: "My lord, you will transfer Captain Huan, Xi is willing to use his head as a guarantee, and there will definitely be no accidents in the direction of Liaoxi County." β
It's a pity that although Father-in-law Xi lives not far from Zhang Jiashi, he rarely directly asks about this kind of military and political issues, and naturally he will not do something that he will not die without doing anything before Zhang Jiashi takes the initiative to consult him.
After all, the eunuchs intervened in foreign affairs, and such a situation was a matter of strict precautions in the hearts of the successive monarchs of the Qin State. Besides, in terms of the character of his father-in-law, he also doesn't like this kind of role change when he appears directly on the stage from behind the scenes.
In the end, Zhang Jiashi, who didn't know how he should really choose, glanced at the sky outside the window, and he found that he hadn't slept well last night.
And he still has a task today, that is, a few days ago, he promised to go to Yingxi, who has always wanted to go to Qingqing, and other wives and concubines, to take a trip to the Liao River today.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
Under the spearhead of Zhang Jiashi, a team of more than 100 people set off from Zhang Jiashi's mansion and then passed through the south gate of Dingxiang City and went directly to the Liao River.
Of course, Zhang Jiashi would not choose the Liaohe River beach area, which is less than two or three kilometers away, as the location for his outing, but chose a small hill located in the southeast of Dingxiang City as a place to relax.
And for this trip, Zhang Jiashi didn't want to do such a "labor campaign". But for safety reasons and to avoid some things that he likes to see, Zhang Jiashi naturally will not be found in trouble in the end for the sake of convenience.
The heavily armed guards who make up half of the team can clearly understand one thing for those who are not long-sighted without holding up signs: if you don't want to die, don't come and look for trouble.
Zhang Jiashi, who was riding the red cloud and walking in front of the team under the escort of several knights, held the Lulu sword in his hand, looked at the dozen or so carriages in the team from time to time, and observed the situation at all times.
As for why a dozen wagons?
These carriages were naturally used to load Zhang Jiashi's wives and concubines, as well as some personnel and materials.
Zhang Jiashi, who was not too much in pursuit of anything in these aspects, had to allocate a sum of money after the arrival of his father-in-law, and built a set of honor guards that were actually humble in his heart.
To be honest, Zhang Jiashi, who didn't think he had any chance to use the carriage for a year now, naturally couldn't understand the somewhat strange look from his father-in-law,
He can't always dress up the red cloud beautifully, and when he rides on the red cloud, he is incarnated as the champion of the street, what are you kidding???
Therefore, Zhang Jiashi finally couldn't resist the Xi Gonggong, who was very persistent in this regard, and asked the Liaodong soldiers to make a box car with a very high cost.
Seeing the cost of materials and the corresponding miscellaneous expenses, Zhang Jiashi's hand trembled inadvertently.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Jiashi had clearly understood a situation, that is, Father-in-law Xi was indeed one of the top masters who was hidden as if he were fake, Zhang Jiashi couldn't help but mutter: "This is too loser." β
And the current situation, as Zhang Jiashi thought, that large van that needs to be pulled by four horses, Zhang Jiashi doesn't need it yet.
......
It seems that because he knew that Zhang Jiashi's family was traveling on such a day, Tiangong also gave Zhang Jiashi enough face, and there were no bad weather conditions.
And Zhang Jiashi and his team, under the gaze of many people coming and going, arrived at the small hill as the destination.
As a place near Dingxiang City, which is not considered a commanding height, it is quite difficult to see the situation of Dingxiang City clearly with this small hill. Relative to the Shenyang City of later generations, there is nothing too high near the current Dingxiang City.
The southern city wall of Dingxiang City is being demolished and expanded, and according to Zhang Jiashi's plan, he does not want to expand Dingxiang City at this time. However, Chen Ping believes that because of the rapid development in recent years, the pattern of Dingxiang City will inevitably need to be expanded to meet the corresponding needs.
Therefore, when the team began to spread out on the top of the small hill, Zhang Jiashi rode the red cloud to the highest place and watched the construction of Nancheng.
What he didn't notice was that there were many women in the team who had their eyes on him.
......
Qi Ji, Wang Yan and Sima Ya, as Zhang Jiashi's concubines, have all kinds of envy and jealousy for the two sisters Yingxi and Yinglian to have children with Zhang Jiashi, and they dare not have anything to hate.
They also want to have a child, after all, for many reasons, although their children can't be doted on by Zhang Jiashi like Yingxi and Yinglian's hands and wrapped in a splendid body, but in any case, once they have a child, isn't it very important for them?
However, they have no way to complain about anything, Yingxi and Yinglian are not jealous, and Zhang Jiashi is not the kind of character who favors one person. But in such a year, and Qi Ji is two or three years, they don't even have a sign, what kind of feeling should this make them feel in their hearts?
Especially Qi Ji, when she eats with Zhang Jiashi and them on weekdays, she sees that Zhang Jiashi's eyes are on her own children many times, how can she be willing?
After all, if she really cares about anything, she is the first person to follow Zhang Jiashi's side.
However, Qi Ji knew very well in her heart that she was not the first person to receive Zhang Jiashi's favor, even if she was in the room that day......
Qi Ji knew very well about this secret, and she would most likely take it to the grave, if everything went so smoothly......
Wang Yan and Sima Ya don't have such a big obsession as Qi Ji, after all, they know very well that as long as Zhang Jiashi really loves them, and their stomachs are also angry, there will always be such things, and they can't force anything.
As for the youngest concubine of the Zhang family, Yu Miaoyi has no thoughts about this for the time being, on the contrary, the husband who is now wearing a black silk robe and a hard cowhide crown hat always asks her to do something that she is very shy about.
Of course, in the private communication with several sisters, it turned out that Zhang Jiashi did not just do this to her.
And she has also heard rumors that her husband, on the night of her wedding to the two princess sisters, her husband directly pried the door latch with a sword.
Yu Miaoyi's pretty face, who thought of this, couldn't help but blush slightly......
(Zhang Jiashi's current age of wife and concubine: Yingxi is 21 years old, slightly younger than Zhang Jiashi; Wang Yan is 19 years old; Sima Ya is 18 years old; Ying Lian is 18 years old, slightly younger than Sima Ya; Yu Miaoyi is 16 years old.) The age of the others is: Chun Yuqiu is 28 years old, Yingqin is 25 years old, Zhao Qian is 21 years old, Jing Wuji is 19 years old, Mo Yaner is 17 years old, a certain Sanwu Loli is 14 years old, Xu Mo is 12 years old, Qi Huaner is 9 years old, Yingshu is 8 years old, and Wei Yinger is 6 years old. Ahem, there is also a certain Liu, 29 years old. οΌ
Opposite to Zhang Jiashi's wife and concubine, as the eldest princess of Great Qin who lived in Zhang Jiashi's mansion, she looked at Zhang Jiashi on a horse on the hill and looked into the distance, with a trace of resentment in her eyes.
Of course, she knew very well that few people knew what she was thinking.
Perhaps, the old eunuch who is now directing the team to arrange something, knows her thoughts, perhaps, her two sisters also know her thoughts, and maybe even her own daughter knows her own thoughts.
After all, Wei Ying'er once said something that made many people laugh: "Mother, what's the difference between uncle and father?"
After hearing such a sentence, Zhang Jiashi hurriedly turned her head, and when she coughed suddenly, she could see her two half-sisters, Yingxi's eyes flashed with a look that was like this, and Yinglian's eyes were a kind of looking funny.
She didn't know what the little man who was so embarrassed at the end that he didn't know what to say had in mind.
In contrast to Yingqin, who was a guest, the four women who had now become the leaders of the four female guards in Zhang Jiashi's backyard were taking their own personnel and were responsible for patrolling the safety of the female dependents in Zhang Jiashi's mansion.
The four of them, for various reasons, also live in Zhang Jiashi's backyard now.
And Zhang Jiashi looked at Dingxiang City from the hill, and they could naturally see it quite clearly.
But at this time, they felt more and more their feelings for Zhang Jiashi...... Quite complicated.
......
Zhang Jiashi, who had been observing for a while, did not notice the various stares or scrutinizing glances coming from behind him. For him, it seemed that he should enjoy himself, especially with a relaxed mind to spend the leisure that will become less and less in the future.
He gently patted the side of Hongyun's neck: "Let's go, I'll feed you something delicious when we go down." β
Hongyun, who could understand what Zhang Jiashi was saying, seemed to be very dissatisfied with Zhang Jiashi's hissing protest that seemed to be treating him as a foodie.
But Zhang Jiashi saw that Hongyun's eyes seemed to show a hint of happiness.
Zhang Jiashi shook his head and smiled, and then grabbed the reins of Hongyun.
Under the light of the morning sun, Zhang Jiashi rode on the tall red cloud, like a hero dressed in the glow, walking towards them step by step.
I don't know when, a sturdy figure appeared beside Zhang Jiashi and a horse, accompanied by him......
