Chapter 434: Sending Troops
The more Li Shenghe listened, the more surprised he became, it had only been less than a year since he went to sea, and he had developed to a thousand miles of sound transmission? Fish
The dispatcher raised his head and said, "Sent over, Haixiwei Station has received!" ”
Cao Shuren nodded and said, "Wait for the news!" ”
Turning his head, he said to Li Shenghe: "The main reason why Li mentioned the problem of the shortness of the song is mainly because when the report is sent, the document needs to be translated into a code first, and then transmitted, and the other party uses the code book to reverse translate it into a document after receiving it. ”
Hearing him say this, Li Shenghe understood that the greatest strategic significance of this kind of telegram was the front-line war.
If there is a fight ahead, the emperor and the great masters in the capital only care about how the battle is going, who still has the heart to listen to your flattering polite words.
If you win, it's all a king's air if you fart.
If you lose, no matter how beautiful your writing is, it won't help. Fish
The telegram sent from Mohewei was transmitted by various stations along the way, and it lasted two hours before arriving in Beijing.
Zhu Qizhen immediately convened the cabinet and the military department to discuss the transfer of troops.
Although the grass was not cut and eradicated, the Ming army had completely occupied the south of the Troubled River, and it was not interesting to chase it down, it would only cost money and food, and the gains outweighed the losses.
In the end, the imperial court deployed Beihaiwei, Duoyan Sanwei and Mohewei on the line from Beihai to Sakhalin Island in turn, as a barrier to the north of the Ming Dynasty and defended the line of the difficult river.
Over the years, small units of the Tatar department have occasionally come to attack and harass, but they have never taken any advantage, and they have not shown up for many years, so they have changed their positions and gone to the Yaksha country.
Zhu Qizhen ordered someone to put the map on a table in the center of the hall, and Cao Nai and others gathered around, pointing and pointing.
Yu Qian's face was solemn, and he took the lead in saying: "This Ghost Country and Yaksha Country have only been seen in historical materials, but I didn't expect that the territory would be so big?" "Fish
The rest of the people also sighed, thinking that the Ming Dynasty had been fertile for thousands of miles, but they didn't expect that the world was so big that it had already exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.
This ghost country and the yaksha country occupy the entire Kamchatka Peninsula, which is roughly equivalent to the sum of Southern Zhili and Northern Zhili, which is already quite small.
Zhu Qizhen shook his head lightly and said: "It's just a range, in fact, whether it is the Wandering Ghost Country or the Yaksha Country, they are all in a relatively primitive slash-and-burn era, nominally calling it a country, but in fact they are just some ethnic groups and tribes, scattered on this peninsula." ”
After listening to this, Yu Qian peeked at Zhu Qizhen, and said secretly in his heart, saying that these two countries are so unbearable, is it for you to send someone to occupy the territory to find a reason?
Who doesn't know, you sent your concubine over.
At the beginning, he said that he was exiled, but in fact, he supplied soldiers and horses to other people, and went overseas to grab territory.
But it doesn't matter, as long as you can open up territory for the Ming Dynasty, it is already worth the merits, and everyone will not say anything. Fish
At this time, Peng Qing pointed to the map and asked, "The north of the Yaksha country...... Where is it? ”
The rest of the people came forward and expressed their interest in these borderlands.
Zhu Qizhen said: "There is a barren ice field wilderness, maybe there are some blood-drinking tribes to survive, which Qing family is interested in bringing this land into the Ming Dynasty territory for me?" ”
Hearing that there was nothing in that place, people were freezing to death in the snow and ice, and everyone suddenly lost interest.
It is true that the scenery of expanding the territory is infinite, but what kind of territory must be divided, go to the bitter cold land of the extreme north to starve and freeze, unless there is a hole in the brain.
Seeing this, Zhu Qizhen continued: "According to Juluhou's message, the question now is how to completely annihilate the Tatar Department, Yu Qian, you can talk about it!" ”
"Yes!" Fish
Yu Qian bowed his head, then nodded in a few places on the map, and said: "If you send troops easily, you will flee to the barren land in the extreme north at any time. ”
Peng Qing frowned and clenched his fists, and said, "Just let the remnants of the Tatar sway under his nose and not beat him?" ”
"Of course you have to fight, but not now!"
Yu Qian and Peng Qing are also old acquaintances, and knowing his violent temper, he explained: "On the surface, they are holding their troops and confusing their opponents, but in fact, they are secretly mobilizing troops, and when the time is ripe, they can be surrounded and annihilated." ”
Peng Qing nodded and said, "Understood, close the door and beat the dog!" ”
The rest of the people also nodded their heads in approval.
Jin Lian, the current head of the household department, asked: "The railway of the Beijing division only leads to Shenyang, and there are still more than 3,000 miles away from Mohewei. "Fish
Yu Qian looked at him and said, "Who said that you are going to send troops from Beijing?" ”
Jin Lian was puzzled: "Don't you transfer the Beijing camp?" ”
Since the abolition of the hukou system, the status of military households has ceased to exist, and a large number of tuntian fields have been distributed to the common people, or used as industrial land, and the number of military personnel has plummeted.
Once, Zhu Yuanzhang proudly said that I raised millions of soldiers, and it didn't cost the people a grain of rice.
Nowadays, the military household Tuntian has been changed to a conscription system, and it really responds to the proverb of the ancients, and the soldiers are not too expensive.
The technology of muskets and artillery has been continuously improved, and the combat capability of the army has been greatly improved, and a squad of 100 people equipped with new firearms can crush the once 10,000-strong army.
Therefore, the local guards were repeatedly dismantled, and in the vicinity of Mohewei, it was impossible to assemble enough troops, unless the Beijing camp was dispatched, but they could only take the train to Shenyang, and then march to Mohe. Fish
Jin Lian is the secretary of the household department, and he is most concerned about money and food, and as soon as he heard that there was going to be a large-scale battle of troops and horses, he immediately became cautious.
Even though the treasury is abundant, you can't spend it blindly!
What's more, this is a war, what to fight?
It's all about money!
Not to mention rations and military salaries, just say that as soon as this cannon sounds, it is ten thousand taels of gold.
The cost of a flying tiger cannon is three thousand taels, and one shell is fifty taels.
The latest orthodox nineteen style, a gun costs two hundred taels, and a bullet costs two taels of silver. Fish
It's not cannonballs and bullets that can't be hit, it's white silver!
I don't know how long this battle will drag on, the soldiers stay out for one more day, and the more one day they consume, don't beat people up, but they eat themselves empty.
Yu Qian nodded to the west of Mohewei and said, "Isn't this a Duoyan Sanwei, why do you want to send troops from the Beijing Division?" ”
Jin Lian shook his head and said: "The three guards of Duoyan are stationed on the front line of the Trouble River, in order to prevent the Tatar troops from going south, if their soldiers and horses move, the defense is empty, and the Tatar troops re-enter Mobei, what should we do?" ”
Yu Qian waved his hand and said, "Now the Tatar Ministry is in the Yaksha Country, and it is still far from the station of Duoyan Sanwei!" ”
Jin Lian asked rhetorically: "What if the news of Beishanwei is wrong?" ”
"This ......" fish
Yu Qian was suddenly stunned, yes, he didn't seem to have thought about this problem.
Jin Lian said again: "If the information obtained by Beishanwei is deliberately obtained by the Tatar Ministry, it is ......"
Yu Qian had already frowned tightly, as if he hadn't thought about it.
Because...... Everyone knows that the commander of Beishanwei is the emperor's concubine, and this woman is very scheming, and she has suffered a lot for the emperor, so she should not be mistaken.
But what if it's wrong?
If it is really as Jin Lian said, it is a trick to get rid of it......
Yu Qian looked at Zhu Qizhen and asked, "Your Majesty, do you call back first and order him to continue to inquire about the information and make a decision based on the verified information?" "Fish
Zhu Qizhen frowned and pondered, and after a while, he said: "Call back, agree with Mohewei to cooperate with Beishanwei's action, remember not to act rashly, and wait for the net to be laid down, and then wipe it out!" ”
Yu Qian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are worried about ......"
"I understand!"
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand to stop it, and said, "Between me and Toktobu, sooner or later I have to make a decision." Beishanwei's intelligence is very credible, and what they have to do now is to wait for Duoyan Sanwei's soldiers and horses to be dispatched, and during this time, they can completely verify the accuracy of the information, find problems, and report them immediately, it's still too late. ”
Everyone whispered for a moment, and Yu Qian said: "The ministers think it's feasible." ”
Jin Lian then said: "This matter of money and food ......"
Zhu Qizhen said: "Duoyan Sanwei is rich, why do you need my silver?" "Fish
In the past, Warat and Tatar were powerful, and Duoyan Sanwei was just a gas bag, set up between the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan, seeing the wind and making the rudder, and eating together.
However, since the fall of the Warat tribe and the escape of the Tatar tribe to the far north, Duoyan Sanwei returned to the bank of the Tribulation River, and became the only successor of Mongolian orthodoxy, the only inheritor of Changshengtian, and of course, the most loyal eagle dog of the Ming Dynasty.
There is no threat from foreign enemies, and the imperial court vigorously supports it, so it is difficult not to develop.
In general, Duoyan Sanwei has had a good life over the years.
Moreover, they are happy to follow Da Ming to get rid of it.
Because according to the Mongolian tradition, only the golden blood is the only one who takes off the flowers.
Although Duoyan Sanwei occupies the sacred river of tribulation, as long as the detachment is not there, even if these people engrave the word orthodoxy on their heads, they are just deceiving themselves. Fish
So, more than anyone else, they want to kill Tokto.
Jin Lian didn't know this, he was just worried about money and food.
Yu Qian patted him on the shoulder and said, "The emperor said that there is no need to move the silver from the treasury, what are you worried about?" ”
Jin Lian asked again: "What about Beishanwei and Mohewei?" ”
Zhu Qizhen said: "They are all self-sufficient, and they don't need to allocate money to them. ”
Jin Lian nodded, and said secretly in his heart, what are you looking for me for?
Didn't you say that you need money to fight a war, and you don't need it now, so what's the point of me coming here to participate? Fish
Cao Nai, the first assistant of the cabinet, said: "In this case, the old minister will arrange for someone to draw up a telegram and send it back to Mohewei. ”
Zhu Qizhen said: "Draw up another will and send a fast horse to Duoyan Sanwei." ”
"Yes!"
Duoyan Sanwei did not have a telegraph station, so he could only use fast horses to expedite it.
After all, the telegram is not a holy decree, if it is sent to Jing Yuan and asked him to pass the message on his behalf, how can Duoyan Sanwei distinguish the truth from the fake when he sees a telegram?
Cao Nai said yes, turned around and returned to the cabinet, drawing up the telegram and the holy decree.
The rest of the people continued to discuss the next tactics, how to lay out the Beishan Guard, Mohewei, and Duoyan Three Guards, and how to send troops to completely encircle and suppress the remnants of the Tatars. Fish
In fact, the Tatars did not have many troops at the moment, and they were only barely surviving, and it was not difficult to annihilate them, as long as the route of the march was specified and his retreat was blocked, what remained was a one-sided massacre.
The weapons and equipment of the Ming army are changing with each passing day, and it is easy to take out a cold-weapon army of thousands of people.
After everyone agreed, because Qian wrote a battle book.
After Zhu Qizhen saw it, he nodded yes again and again, and then said: "There is still a lack of a boss in this battle, Yu Qian, you can go to Mohewei in person!" ”
Yu Qian comprehended and said, "The minister obeys the order!" ”
Zhu Qizhen said again: "I give you the right to act cheaply, during the war, you don't need to ask for instructions, you can decide." ”
Yu Qian's expression was a little excited, the emperor gave power so unscrupulously, which showed that he trusted himself. Fish
"The minister will leave tomorrow!"
When the deliberations were finished, the ministers dispersed, each busy with his own business.
Zhu Qizhen returned to the imperial study and immediately summoned Yang Zhicong, the commander of the Absolute Voiceguard.
The time when Yang Zhicong entered the palace was just right, the sun was setting, the sky was dark, and no one could see clearly.
Zhu Qizhen was also not polite, and asked straight to the point: "What news has there been in Mobei recently?" ”
Although Yang Zhicong is deaf and mute, he is proficient in lip language, so it is not difficult for Zhu Qizhen to communicate with him.
I saw him pick up the pen on the table and write four small characters. Fish
Zhu Qizhen picked it up and took a look: "The wind is blowing." ”
"Just the wind and the grass? What is the specific situation, haven't you inquired clearly? ”
Yang Zhicong shook his head, his face was a little regretful, and he was a little unwilling.
Zhu Qizhen also said: "I received a telegram from Mohewei today, and the Tatar Ministry is currently stationed in the ...... north of the Yaksha Kingdom."
As he spoke, he took out a map and pointed to the northernmost point of Kamchatka.
“…… That's it! ”
Yang Zhicong stared at it for a while, then pointed at Mohewei and then at Duoyan Sanwei. Fish
Then, pick up the pen and write down the word "wai".
Zhu Qizhen asked: "You mean, you can use the soldiers and horses of Mohewei and Duoyan Sanwei to surround and annihilate them?" ”
Yang Zhicong nodded, there was no expression on his face, as if everything in this world had nothing to do with him.
"It's been discussed today, and that's roughly how it was arranged, I just suddenly remembered the secret report you sent some time ago, and I was worried about what connection there was between the two things."
Yang Zhicong's expression changed, as if he thought of something, and wrote down two more words.
"There is fraud!"
When Zhu Qizhen saw it, he smiled instead. Fish
"It would be nice if there was really a fraud, I was worried, I was already scared and didn't dare to come!"
Yang Zhicong wrote: "Three days. ”
Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your news." ”
Yang Zhicong clasped his fists and saluted, exited the imperial study, and walked away.
