Chapter 60: The Wind Will Rise

Fu Youde is inspecting the construction site at the moment.

This site is nothing else. It is a river.

At this moment, the canal of the Ming Dynasty is actually the canal of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty did not put much effort into the canal. In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, a big flood made a section of the Huitong River have been scrapped. And the development of sea transportation. The role of the canal declined. Coupled with the great construction of Beijing, and later the succession. This section of the canal has not been cleaned.

At this moment, Fu Youde ordered to clean up the Huitong River, that is, the canal from Linqing to Xuzhou.

The reason why Fu Youde is like this is also has his own ideas.

After he came to Jinan, he told Tang Shengzong about the previous war, and although Fu Youde was not as keen as Xu Da, he already felt the difference. Fu Youde even mobilized his intelligence capabilities and quickly figured out the situation in various places south of Hejian Province.

It can be said that from the north of the Daqing River of the Yellow River. When I went to Hejian Province, a local prefecture and county, I frantically connected the north and the south, and it was clear that it was a wall-to-wall grass.

In the north, there are only a few people in the county town to urge the magistrates to improve the supplies, and there is nothing to disturb the people.

Although between the rivers, and Jinan, has been gathered by large soldiers. But in between, the prefectures and counties still seem to be living peacefully.

Fu Youde even sent people to figure out the defense of Hejian Mansion.

Not quite figured out though. But with such a big move as Tie Hyun, it is impossible to keep it completely secret.

The general situation is already understood by Fu Youde.

Fu Youde suddenly felt a little tricky.

Tie Xuan worked very hard, and the defense line between the rivers was basically formed. If you want to bypass, there are only two ways, the first way is to take Shanxi, after defeating the enemy. But Fu Youde also knows the logistical disaster brought about by this.

Plus the existence of King Jin. This strategy cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary. Then there is the cross-sea direct attack on Tianjin.

But Fu Youde also felt unreliable.

Fu Youde fought a Japanese landing battle, and it was really because he fought it that he knew that the landing battle was difficult to fight. Moreover, Tianjin, Yingkou, Lushun, these ports have perfect forts. And there are sailors in Liaodong. The Daming Water Division is in the southeast at the moment, fighting against the King of Jingjiang.

Well, the poor King of Jingjiang is already defending Jingjiang City at the moment.

But if you want to completely quell the rebellion of King Jingjiang and transfer the Daming Water Division back from the south, there will still be a period of time.

So there is only one way to give Fu Youde, and that is to attack.

How many battles Fu Youde has fought in his life, and this kind of offensive war, Fu Youde has not never fought. Fu Youde was not afraid. But he knows that this kind of war without fancy tricks, and many things are fought for logistics.

So Fu Youde wanted to wait and wait for the rear canal to be repaired. When autumn comes, Shandong and Henan wheat will ripen, and then they will be pressed on a large scale to have a big war.

Straight to the river house.

As for these prefectures and counties from Hejian Mansion to the Yellow River, they are just in the hands of the Northern Army, and if Fu Youde wants to take them, he can take them with his backhand. But Fu Youde felt that once these prefectures and counties were taken down and attacked Hejian Province, the suddenness would be lost.

After all, with these prefectures and counties in the south, there will be a fluke mentality in the defense line of Hejian Prefecture. Fu Youde can quietly send troops and come to the city overnight. It is best to capture the city in one fell swoop, break through the defense line between the rivers, and hit the city of Beijing in one go.

This is Guo Ying's Fu Youde, who has an unforgiving style.

It's just that Fu Youde never expected that the holy decree of Nanjing had arrived at this time.

Fu Youde read the holy decree, although he didn't say it directly. But the implication is already obvious.

Fu Youde thought for a long time, suddenly sighed, and said, "Summon the main general and prepare to send troops."

Fu Youde is an ambitious person. But Fu Youde's ambition is very limited, his biggest ambition is just to surpass Xu Da to become the first in the army, and now Xu Da is really recuperating and has faded out of the army. Even Zhu Yunwen asked Xu Da about the military several times, but Xu Da didn't give any opinions, and even did something to Xu Da's old department, Xu Da didn't see it.

Fu Youde understands very well that with this situation, Xu Da is in the army

status, can not be maintained for a few years.

He Fu Youde only needs to pacify Beijing and become the first person in the army. Just take it for granted.

It's just that after getting a lot of things, Fu Youde suddenly realized that there were still so many things that needed attention, and it was not easy to be the first person in the army.

In the Hongwu Dynasty, Xu Da has always been this character, and in some cases, it is the protection of Fu Youde, Feng Sheng and others. Now when Fu Youde was about to take over this scepter, he suddenly became a little timid. Fu Youde, who never knew what fear was on the battlefield, was not afraid of things on the battlefield, but things outside the battlefield.

For example, how to maintain a relationship with the emperor.

As the first person in the army, Fu Youde must have the trust of the emperor, and without the trust of the emperor, this position will not last long. In addition, Fu Youde must also have his own authority, if there is no authority, completely listen to the emperor's echo worm. What else does Fu Youde's position mean?

Not to mention, the emperor's decisions are not always correct.

If Zhu Yuanzhang is still there, there is no need for Fu Youde to explain, as long as Zhu Yuanzhang looks at Fu Youde's arrangement, he knows what Fu Youde wants to do. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang had any ideas, Fu Youde dared to go back. After all, if you talk about things by facts, even if you have any opinions, Zhu Yuanzhang is still reasonable.

But not anymore.

Because Fu Youde knew, he couldn't tell Zhu Yunwen very clearly.

Prince Zhu Yunwen's education is very perfect. Naturally, there will be no shortage of military education, but at this point, Zhu Yunwen failed. The reason is very simple, what Fang Xiaoru and other scholars like to see is Renjun. And not the emperor who was close to his lords.

And military affairs, even if there are many famous people who will teach it, sometimes it is difficult to learn and understand. It's good to be able to talk on paper.

Not to mention, there is no excellent teacher, Zhu Yunwen's knowledge of military affairs is almost none, Zhu Yuanzhang has the heart to teach some, but Zhu Yunwen is not very attentive, after all, in Zhu Yunwen's view, in troubled times, military force is used in prosperous times, and literature is used in prosperous times, and now it is a prosperous era. There is no need for this knowledge.

Of course, Zhu Xiongying is a little better than Zhu Yunwen in this regard, but it is also quite limited. He Xi had personally led the troops to fight, and Zhu Xiongying had only felt the atmosphere of war. There are some things that you can't figure out without doing them yourself.

In this case, Fu Youde's book arguing about military issues is likely to be understood by Zhu Yunwen as a political issue. In other words, Fu Youde had other ideas about the emperor's disobedience.

Therefore, even if Fu Youde knows, it is actually not a good way to do it now. But he could only order to prepare and set off immediately, and at the same time find a way to tell Zhu Yunwen euphemistically that there was actually a better way.

There is no way not to be tactful, Fu Youde doesn't like it, Zhu Yunwen does the same thing again.

Other people may swing between the north and the south, or have other ideas, but Fu Youde is completely from Zhu Yunwen's side, after all, Fu Youde's daughter is now going to be the queen. In this case, how could Fu Youde not do his best..z.

It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that Fu Youde wants to do a good job in all aspects, and he thinks about it a little more.

I didn't want some of my practices to cause the emperor to be dissatisfied with the Fu family. Thus influencing the big picture.

Compared with these problems, it is not too important that there are some unfavorable factors caused by the current war.

So, Fu Youde immediately sent troops. The Shandong Metropolitan Division and the Henan Metropolitan Division sent troops separately, with the purpose of recovering the prefectures and counties south of Hejian Prefecture, which was not a difficult matter. And Fu Youde's army, along the canal, slowly went north, with a large number of baggage, artillery, gunpowder, grain and grass, and so on.

Slowly but surely along the canal towards the river.

There is only one purpose, which is to smash the copper wall of Hejian Mansion with a hard iron hammer.

It's just that the Hejian Mansion has not yet started fighting, and there are good news, flying to Nanjing, without him, it is to recover a certain county and recover a certain mansion. Although this was all given up by the Northern Army on its own initiative, it did not prevent Nanjing from making a big noise.

It can even be said that this situation is what Nanjing needs.

What Nanjing needed was a win to recoup the impact of the two defeats.

to stabilize Zhu Yunwen's position, as for whether these victories are real victories, it is not too important.
