Chapter 15 Xie Jin to Beijing

He Xi explained all the mysteries to Zhu Xiongying.

Fortunately, Zhu Xiongying has studied with He Xi since he was a child, otherwise he really can't understand many of these things.

Zhu Xiongying said: "In this way, as long as we hold the first line of Hejian Mansion and have enough time to complete the change, we will be in an invincible position."

He Xi said, "Exactly. Please rest assured, Your Highness."

Where it's so easy, a lot of things are easy to say. But it's not easy to do. Although He Xi has been preparing for this matter for three years, three years of accumulation, in exchange for today's first-mover advantage, He Xi is sure to catch Nanjing off guard. and even advanced the front to the line of the Yellow River.

But He Xi knows better that none of Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, Xu Da, these three people are vegetarians, not to mention, there are many second- and third-tier Hou Bo.

That's the biggest variable of our time.

The Lan Yu case, although it involves a lot of people. However, it is not as many as the number of people killed by Zhu Yuanzhang in his later years in history. The Nanjing side is definitely not without generals available. On the contrary, experienced veterans and celebrities can't be called the volume of the car, but they also catch a lot of them.

In this case, He Xi doesn't know how long the first-mover advantage can be maintained.

Not to mention, many people can't ignore it. For example, the local feudal officials, and the vassal kings in various places. The reactions of many people in these places directly determined the direction of the Ming War. Even if He Xi has been preparing for three years, he is not completely sure of the real end at this moment.

The only thing He Xi is sure of is that if he continues to fight, his advantage will become bigger and bigger.

Although the steam engine has not been perfected to the point that He Xi is satisfied, it can be directly used as an industrial power source. It is foreseeable that during the war, Beijing Liaodong will be in a situation of lack of personnel, labor costs will increase, and the promotion of steam engines will remove an important obstacle.

As long as the steam engine is used on a large scale, the cost will be lower and lower. The machine will have an advantage for the low labor cost of Daming.

Without a price advantage, it is difficult for the steam engine to be popularized in Daming, and it cannot be used on a large scale, and it is difficult to have a price advantage. That's a paradox.

Without large-scale use, the various supporting facilities promoted by the steam engine will be very expensive, and the cost of use will be very high. Today's low labor costs in China are also an important reason why the industrial revolution cannot happen in China.

Now this difficulty has been overcome.

No matter how sure He Xi is in his heart, in front of Zhu Xiongying, he always has to show confidence.

Now He Xi is the backbone of Zhu Xiongying, not the other way around.

Zhu Xiongying said, "Then go for it."

He Xi stood up and saluted, and said, "Your Majesty is welcome to the throne of the country."

Zhu Xiongying took a deep breath and said, "Flat."

At this moment, the war really began.

------

"Woo ------" Xie Jin came from Nanjing, did not change horses all the way, and his legs were bloody. In fact, from Nanjing to Beijing, it is most convenient to use a boat, whether it is a sea boat or a canal. But Xie Jin pursues speed. Non-stop all the way.

At this moment, I finally saw the city of Beijing.

It's just that the majesty of Beijing City still surprised Xie Jin.

The wharf outside the south gate of Beijing has the same feeling as the wharf outside the Jubaomen of Nanjing.

Countless ships gathered, and the sails covered almost all the water. Because of the topography of Nanjing, the city is not square. Beijing, on the other hand, is a square city, surrounded by plains, and when you look at it from a distance, the solemn feeling is far above the city of Nanjing.

Xie Jin has been in the city of Nanjing, although he has heard about how the city of Beijing is. But it's better to see than to hear. In his heart, he always felt that Nanjing City was much stronger than Beijing City. But now I feel that the prosperity and momentum of Beijing City is no longer inferior to Nanjing City.

I have a deeper understanding of He Xi's ability.

It's just that Xie Jin always feels that there is a faint smell of fireworks in the air in Beijing, which makes him a little uncomfortable. That's because the city of Beijing uses almost entirely coal

There are many steam engines in the city, and there are boiler rooms, and there are no standards for their emissions.

This made Xie Jin, who came from the south, a little uncomfortable, but it was also natural.

However, Xie Jin didn't have the heart to think much about this. He secretly said in his heart, "I must go to see His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, otherwise the big thing will be gone."

Xie Jin understands very well that his political life has long been tied to the new law and Zhu Xiongying. If he can't save the situation, the best end of his life is exile.

This can be regarded as He Xi's credit.

Before He Xi, even if he couldn't stay in Daming, he wouldn't go overseas to make a living. But now, after Lu Zhongheng gained a firm foothold in Nanyang, he felt that the biggest problem was the population problem, and the number of Han people was too small.

Therefore, as long as you are not a heinous person, you will be treated well when you arrive in Nanyang.

So, before you know it, after everyone really commits a crime, there is a new place to go, that is, Nanyang, overseas.

After all, now that maritime trade is developed, it is not difficult to take a ship to go overseas.

Xie Jin went directly to see Zhu Xiongying.

Xie Jin had Zhu Xiongying's token and met Zhu Xiongying unhindered. When Zhu Xiongying saw Xie Jin, he immediately said, "Brother Xie, you are finally here."

Xie Jin said, "Your Highness, you already know about Nanjing, right?"

Zhu Xiongying's expression was a little gloomy and said, "I already know."

Xie Jin said, "What is Your Highness going to do?"

Zhu Xiongying said, "Please also teach me Brother Xie."

Xie Jin said, "Please Your Highness woo Shen Guogong at all costs and immediately raise troops. Strike first. Tell the world that Zhu Yunwen killed the king. The whole world condemned it, and His Royal Highness personally led the army south, advancing without retreating. Only when we reach the city of Nanjing can we have a chance to win."

Zhu Xiongying listened and frowned slightly.

Xie Jin's plan is even more unreliable than He Xi's plan.

Not to mention that Shen Guogong has become a prisoner. Don't say it, pour dirty water on Zhu Yuanzhang's name, right. Just to say, the army has advanced and retreated in the south, and Zhu Xiongying does not feel that his military talent can be compared with King Yan.

Even if King Yan was in his position, listening to who was on the other side, he didn't have the courage to go south alone.

Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, Xu Da.

These three are here, borrowing the three courage of King Yan, he doesn't dare to fight so boldly.

But the reason why Xie Jin proposed this way is not that he doesn't know the difficulty, and now there is no other way. Because the current situation is essentially an expansion of the battle for succession. To tell the truth, Zhu Yuanzhang chose the echelon arrangement when arranging the guards, the first line of defense is on the ninth side, and the second line of defense is on the two Huai. The third line of defense is just north of the Yangtze River.

It's just that Chengping has been in peace for so many years, and no one has fought the Great Wall for many, many years.

These guards in the belly dare not say that they have forgotten how to fight, after all, the veterans of the year have not yet died. But they were by no means prepared for the sudden appearance of the enemy from the north.

It's easy.

The important thing in the battle for succession is never one city and one place, but the battle for the center.

As long as the soldiers are under the city of Nanjing, Zhu Xiongying will have a chance to win back a game and regain the supreme throne.

It's also the only chance.

Zhu Xiongying said, "Shen Guogong has been taken down?"

"What?" Xie Jin was taken aback.

So, Zhu Xiongying told everything that had happened in the past few days. also told Xie Jin's plan about He Xi's plan.

Xie Jin fell into deep thought.

Zhu Xiongying couldn't wait any longer, and asked, "Brother Xie, what do you think of your uncle's thoughts?"

If Zhu Xiongying is allowed to choose, between Xie Jin and He Xi, who he believes more will naturally be Xie Jin. On the one hand, He Xi is a group behind him, not He Xi alone. Zhu Xiongying was very jealous of He Xi. Xie Jin is different. Although Xie Jin has some reputation in Nanjing, and can even be said to be a celebrity, although Xie Jin is not a single person, there are not many available people around him. On the other hand, He Xi

For Zhu Xiongying, he is an elder. There are some things that are not easy to talk to He Xi. And the relationship between Xie Jin and Zhu Xiongying is not like this.

Xie Jin and Zhu Xiongying have been in the secretarial superintendent, and the common concept of the two sides has brought them closer to each other. At least it is closer than the relationship between Zhu Xiongying and He Xi.
