Chapter 499: Fengyang, the central capital

After Li Laiheng's disposition, Li Dingguo, chief of the general staff, and seven or eight governors gathered in front of the map, and Zhu Jun sat on the chair with his eyes half-closed, and began to discuss the current battle situation.

Li Dingguo finally pointed to the location of Hubei with his finger: "Your Majesty, according to the minister, if a decisive battle is launched in Hubei, the terrain is favorable to our army, if you go north to Henan, although the terrain of Henan has mountains, but there is also a plain, which is suitable for cavalry mobility, and the Manchurians are mainly cavalry, plus if our army goes north, it will be a lone army to go deep, so the unanimous decision of the staff is to lure the Qing army south for a decisive battle as much as possible." ”

Li Dingguo paused here: "It's just that the Manchurians seem to have seen this, I'm afraid they won't go south easily, but the ministers and colleagues have thought of a compromise method." Li Dingguo's finger moved to the position of Fengyang Mansion in the central capital: "Your Majesty, if you transfer the battlefield here, Fengyang in the central capital is the land of Longxing, located in the north of Hui, which is also a mountainous place, if our army goes to the central capital, not to mention that it is only a hundred miles away from the Yangtze River, and you can transport grain from Shuntianfu to the north at any time." ”

Zhu Jun's eyes lit up: "Zhongdu is the land of Taizu Longxing, and the people's hearts are available, not to mention that it is only three hundred miles away from the East Ocean and the North Ocean. ”

Li Dingguo nodded, and the governors of the other armies also bowed their heads in agreement, what they thought was that they could have a decisive battle in the place where the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty arose, no matter how good it was, according to legend, the dragon vein of the Ming Dynasty was in Fengyang, and with the blessing of the ancestors, it was naturally a favorable condition.

Zhu Jun doesn't have so many gods and monsters in this person's mind, even if it is really an ancestor who has a spirit, if classmate Zhu knows that he, the emperor, is a fake, he is afraid that he will crawl out of the ground and go crazy, Zhu Jun frowned: "It's just how to attract the Qing army into Anhui?" ”

Li Dingguo looked determined: "Zhongdu is the foundation of my Ming Dynasty, and its strategic significance can be comparable to that of the Manchurian Shengjing, if it can be drummed down, its significance is extremely significant, and the morale of the army and the people can naturally rise to a higher level. ”

Zhu Jun nodded: "Where is Mu Jianming?" ”

Mu Jianming saw that the emperor nodded his words, and immediately stood up: "The emperor doesn't have to order, the last general will immediately lead the army east to the east, if you can't take Fengyang within a month, I am willing to come and see you." ”

The general couldn't help laughing, and even Xu Dachang, the chief soldier who led the 50,000 colonial legions to the north, couldn't help but laugh, Xu Dachang has been in the Ming Dynasty for three years, these days, he has not been discriminated against, especially the emperor treats the generals and colonels of all armies equally, and he doesn't necessarily have any contempt for him in front of the emperor, occasionally someone makes a joke or two, and some are like this, usually always thinking about their own self-interest is a smile from the superior to him, a joke or a heartfelt word can make people moved, Xu Dachang is now desperately following Zhu Jun, not to mention those nationalist night school teachings, just the sentence that the death of a confidant is enough to make Xu Dachang willing to die generously for the Ming Dynasty.

And the cabinet has long been out of the news. The emperor intended to elevate the colonial legion to the rank of governor. If so. Then he, Xu Dachang, naturally became the governor of the colonial legion. It's just a level increase. But Xu Dachang, who is very concerned about fame and fortune, is also excited. Isn't it true that people live just to save face?

"Li Qing. You immediately give the order to the sailors in the name of the General Staff Division. Let them go north and cruise along the coast of Tianjin. Zhu Jun pondered for a moment. Xu Xu said: "Then see the right time." Once the campaign begins. The sailors should immediately go south and land in Xuzhou and other places in northern Jiangsu. I gave them two days. It is necessary to rush to the Fengyang battlefield. ”

"The emperor means that the Marines of the Navy will be used as a surprise army. Suddenly inserted into the abdomen of the Qing army during the decisive battle? Li Dingguo pondered the feasibility of this strategic place.

Zhu Jun nodded. He had been thinking about this plan for a few days. First of all, let the sailor make a false impression of going north to Tianjin to occupy the city of Beijing. Take advantage of the decisive battle and suddenly go south. It quickly landed on the coast of northern Jiangsu and Shandong. From the back of the abdomen, the Qing army ground front was attacked.

As for the use of the sailors to capture the city of Beijing. For Zhu Jun, there is no need for much land. The most crucial thing now is to eliminate the main Manchurian and Mongolian forces. As long as the main force of Manmeng is destroyed. Then it was only a matter of time before all the lands in the Kannai were recovered. A city of Beijing, though, was a heavy blow to the Manchurians. But for now, the priority is urgent. It is to destroy the main force of the Manchurian land first.

After Li Dingguo thought about it: "Your Majesty." This plan is available. The minister immediately arranged.

Zhu Jun smiled, then turned his head and asked Hu Yan, the commander of the Beizhen Fusi: "How is Wang Fuchen?" ”

Hu Yan is a person with an introverted personality, who has been silent on the side, and when he saw Zhu Jun asking, he immediately said: "Wang Fuchen has accepted the emperor's edict, and now he has led the Pingliang soldiers to guard Pingliang, and the Longyou cavalry can't pass, it is said that the Longyou cavalry is about to attack the city, and Wang Fuchen asks the emperor to transfer some artillery to strengthen the city."

Zhu Jun nodded: "These are not problems, immediately arrange for someone from the Ministry of Industry to do it." Wang Fuchen's rebellion is equivalent to eliminating 60,000 or 70,000 enemies for me, and his contribution is indispensable. ”

After discussing the military, the atmosphere became relaxed, Zhu Jun said a few words to the generals, and then everyone went their own way, but he read the recent Di Bao leisurely without mentioning it.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Fengyang was originally known as the state, and in the second year of Emperor Wen of Sui, Zhongli County was renamed Haozhou because of Zhongli's pillow on Haoshui. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang led the people to rise up and seize the world, this originally not famous small city suddenly became hot, Zhu Yuanzhang changed Zhongli County to a neutral county in the second year of Hongwu, and at the same time built the central capital at the southern foot of Phoenix Mountain in the southwest of the state. In the sixth year of Hongwu, Linhao Mansion was changed to a neutral house, and in the seventh year of Hongwu, the neutral house was renamed Fengyang Mansion, and the government moved to the new city, and at the same time cut the Taiping, Qingluo, Guangde, and Yongfeng townships of Linhuai County to set up Fengyang County, and Hongwu 19 years merged Hongxian County 8 into Fengyang County.

The imperial city of the Ming Dynasty is located in the northwest of Fengyang County, according to the idea of the ancient capital city planning "Examination of the Gongji", the basic characteristics of symmetry, follow the tradition of "left ancestor and right society", inherit the Song and Yuan dynasties, the Ming and Qing dynasties, the three cities in the middle capital, the middle and the outside, there are more than 9,000 palaces, towers, gates, altar temples, first houses, pavilions and other buildings, the southwest of the middle capital city, is where the imperial mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty is located, and the bones of Zhu Yuanzhang's parents and brothers-in-law and nephews are buried in the mausoleum. Zhu Yuanzhang was born in poverty, and his parents, brother and sister-in-law died one after another. Zhu Yuanzhang is only 1c ~ more than 1 years old, and he can't afford to hold a funeral, so he only uses the gift of "being dressed in evil clothes and covering up three feet", An) relatives. More than 20 years later, Zhu Yuanzhang was named King of Wu and ordered his late minister Wang Wen and others to go to Haozhou to repair his parents' mausoleum. In the second year of Hongwu, he issued an edict to build the middle capital city in his hometown, and at the same time issued an edict to seal the soil because of the old mausoleum. In the eighth year of Hongwu, he rebuilt the central capital, and used the surplus materials of the central capital to build the mausoleum of his parents again. In the twelfth year of Hongwu, the general pattern of the imperial tomb was in the basic form, with a city wall outside, a protective place and sacrificial facilities inside; In front of the mausoleum, the tall imperial mausoleum monument and pairs of stone statues were erected, and the momentum was magnificent.

And now, this was once one of the three capitals of the Ming Dynasty, after the Manchurian people entered the customs, the Fengyang Mansion was changed to Jiangnan Province in the second year of Shunzhi, and the first year of Kangxi was changed to Anhui Province, in addition, the high and broad city wall in the city was also ordered to be demolished by Shunzhi, and only the outer city wall was left for guarding.

Fengyang County's county order is named Xu Deyou, he has been in office for two years, but it is very noisy compared to the officials of other prefectures and counties, this was originally a poor county, although the Ming Dynasty has built countless attic Yuyu here, but after all, it is now the world of the Qing Dynasty, these old buildings can not create much value, on the contrary, because the land here is barren, arable land is less, since the Manchu people enter the customs is a poor county, this is nothing, the so-called three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, although he is a poor county order, But after all, I can still scrape a little.

What toss Xu Deyou is actually the security of the county, you know, here is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the people in the county are exempt from taxes, for hundreds of years. Diao Min's people don't know what is called taxation at all, not only do they not pay taxes, every few days, the imperial court will send a messenger to worship the imperial mausoleum, worship the imperial mausoleum is not only to go to the imperial mausoleum to turn around, the imperial mission will also bring a large number of rewards, the object of the reward is naturally the old Zhu's fellow villagers, therefore, when the surname Zhu sits in the world, the people of Fengyang County can live a small life like a fish in water, but now it is not done, want to be exempted? Today's emperor doesn't believe in Zhu, the family is Nurhachi, and no one can afford to pay this tax. Fengyang since ancient times is Diao Min, majestic martial spirit, lack of literary atmosphere, brave and aggressive, but also in response to the truth of the poor mountains and bad waters out of the Diao people, coupled with the fact that the life gap between the Manchurians in the past few years is too big, the territory is naturally full of bandits, or it is a good man who fights against the Qing Dynasty and restores the Ming Dynasty, or it is a group of thieves who kill officials and slaughter rich households, the court has suppressed it several times, but after a few months, it will be resurrected, Xu Deyou just took office, but he still wanted to reform with the mentality of Huairou Yuanren, but people don't eat you at all, The heroes are relatives of the former Ming Emperor, and after hundreds of years of good life, you dare to ask us to pay taxes, not to mention, white knives in, red knives out.

The county town is better, the county government officials are most afraid of going to the countryside to collect grain, maybe after going down, don't think about having a life back, especially after Nanming hit Jiangnan, the anti-Qing and Ming restoration movement is in full swing, in Xu Deyou's words, as long as it is from Fengyang County, there is no need to pick among 10,000 people, all of them are anti-thieves, and people are not only anti-minded, but also the kind that they want to do.
