Chapter 62: Pressure

And with the strengthening of the power of firearms, the military formation gradually became looser. For example, when the artillery can fight for two or three miles, at least when the troops are arranged, these distances must be abandoned, and the power of the fire salvo makes the casualties in the dense formation too great.

I am afraid that in the future, the formation will become larger and larger, and the density will become lower and lower.

The battle of Qin, Zhao and Changping, a decisive battle of nearly one million people, was in the era of cold weapons, and the battlefield of the decisive battle of millions of people in the anti-Japanese period could not be plugged by the party at all.

And so on.

Now there are more than 1,000 cannons on the entire defense line, and if you add the artillery in the army, the number will only increase. Although the southern army was more than three times larger than the northern army in terms of numbers, it was not much different from the two sides in terms of firepower.

In addition to the Beijing garrison, there were nearly 100,000 infantry soldiers who brought 100,000 cavalry from Monan Datong and merged with Beijing from Liaodong. Feel free to go south.

Although this is the last force to press the bottom of the box too. But no matter how you look at it, this level in front of you is not difficult to pass.

It's just that even if you know that you can do a lot of things, this kind of pressure is still overwhelming.

Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but think crankily in his heart.

For example, Fu Youde is a famous general in the world, who has been famous for many years, and in the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, first from Sesame Li, then from Li Xixi, and then from Ming Yuzhen, Xu Shouhui, and Chen Youliang. Then surrender Zhu Yuanzhang. This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't like Fu Youde. Although he was adrift in troubled times, he couldn't help himself, but he really cared about it, saying that his three surnames were less slaves.

But Fu Youde can have today, making people forget all about him in the troubled times. It is both wisdom and bravery, and there are few rivals in the world.

What if Ye Shen can't resist it?

Yes, Zhu Xiongying also knew that Ye Shen's ability was good. But in the end, young people. Even Ye Shen's father, in front of Fu Youde, did not dare to be presumptuous. Not to mention Ye Shen. Can he do it?

And firearms will be the master of the world in the future, but is this future the present?

And so on and so forth.

In short, the countless thoughts in Zhu Xiongying's heart are like thousands of horses galloping. repeatedly ravaged Zhu Xiongying's confidence.

In fact, Zhu Xiongying also understands that today's choice is probably the safest. But he just couldn't hold his breath. The reason is also very simple, he can't afford to lose. The gap between Nanjing and Beijing is too great. The biggest gap is actually people's hearts.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor in Nanjing, and Beijing was just accompanying the capital.

People in the world naturally think that Zhu Xiongying is just a rebellion. And what keeps Beijing's morale alive is victory. Once a big defeat comes down. Zhu Xiongying didn't know what the people below would do.

After all, on the Nanjing side, no one is loyal to Zhu Yunwen. And on Beijing's side, can everyone be loyal to Zhu Xiongying? After all, he is not the king of Yan, the king of Yan in history has been operating in Beiping for many years, and he can fight with the southern army to defend the city. He is more similar to Zhu Yunwen in history, when King Yan's soldiers came to the city, the people below sold him.

And where is Beijing's confidence to compete with Nanjing? Soon it was an industrial zone outside Beijing, with the Liaodong Industrial Zone. These two places.

Once the flames of war reached the city of Beijing, he lost a lot.

It can be said that as soon as the war passes Tianjin, it is estimated that the small imperial court in Beijing will not be able to sustain it.

Because of this, Zhu Xiongying couldn't bear it at all in his heart, he knew that now was the best choice, but he couldn't help but think, this may be better, that may be better. He even wanted to go into battle in person, command the army, and break Fu Youde.

Fortunately, Zhu Xiongying was taught by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the only remaining reason told him that he couldn't do this.

Zhu Yuanzhang commanded the generals to fight, and he only formulated the major principles and played them concretely, and he didn't care much about it. At most, it will be punished after the fact.

Zhu Xiongying didn't dare even more.

Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but ask, "Deng Qing, in this situation, if you are Ye Shen, can you defeat Fu Youde."

Deng Zhen is now by Zhu Xiongying's side, but he is just a guest.

Deng Zhen was cultivated by Deng Yu, and he didn't dare to say that he had the posture of a famous general, but he still had the basic qualities. He looked at the big sand table, was silent for a while, and said, "Your Majesty

I don't dare to say anything, I really don't know if I can survive this situation."

He is not Deng Yu in the end, in the face of Fu Youde, it is strange that he has confidence.

Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but say, "Is Ye Shen okay?"

Deng Zhen said, "Your Majesty, you should ask Shoufu about this matter."

Zhu Xiongying wanted to see He Xi, but he knew that He Xi was very busy during this period of time, very busy. Without him, He Xi wants to re-establish the Ming Center. Although it was based on the left-behind government, it was almost completely disrupted. Beijing Guozijian, plus several batches of graduates from the three schools in Liaodong, almost all filled the center.

Without him, these people have received the most advanced education in mathematics, physics and chemistry, and can understand He Xi's thoughts. At least not chickens and ducks.

He Xi is not only forming a hub, but also finalizing the administrative process day and night.

This may seem simple, but it's actually quite difficult. It is almost a re-compilation of the "Daming Huidian", that is, the "Daming Administrative Regulations". Stipulate which department, what affairs are responsible, what is the relationship between the departments, what kind of official correspondence between each other, and what kind of rules are upheld.

It may seem tedious, but it is very important.

Fortunately, I have worked for a long time in the Ming Dynasty secretary and supervisor, and the secretary is the center of the Ming Dynasty, directly connected to the following departments. The various internal workflows of Daming, He Xi is very clear. He used this as a blueprint and sorted it out. Form a complete set of processes.

However, whether what is on paper will work or not depends on the implementation.

Once you run away, you know that there are many loopholes.

He Xi has to seize the people below to discuss and revise the loopholes. Adjustments have been made.

He Xi knew that time was limited. He Xi doesn't have so many things to do, sitting in Beijing. Even in the case of a critical war, He Xi must go to Hejian to sit in the town, and when the time comes, this system must quickly and efficiently support the war in the south.

He had to do it quickly.

Second, He Xi also knows that there is the least resistance to doing this now.

He Xi's set almost split and reorganized the original Ming court. If such a thing is done in Nanjing, it will not be finished if it does not kill a dozen ministers in front of the emperor. Or even just the beginning.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang supports it, this is true.

Otherwise, He Xi changed the law in the center at the beginning, why did he make a half-pull. There is no mention of the administrative system at all. Without the support of the administrative system and the judicial system, all of He Xi's ideas are in the air.

But now it's different.

The war is imminent, and Zhu Xiongying doesn't care about changing the law at all. He only cares about victory, and if changing the law can bring him victory, he can change it however he wants. Some people under Zhu Xiongying's command may not support the change, but at this time of life and death crisis, no one has come out to oppose it.

What affects He Xi is only the speed of the creation and adjustment of the entire system, and there is no resistance in it. In this case, He Xi, who has been suppressed for so long, how can he not hurry up to work.

Zhu Xiongying also has eyeliner in the cabinet, knowing that He Xi has been sleeping on a log for a while, this is learning Sima Guang, the so-called police wood is also. Prevent yourself from sleeping for a long time.

Zhu Xiongying also sent someone to ask He Xi. And He Xi couldn't find time to see him at all.

This made Zhu Xiongying very helpless. He didn't even know if this was a means He Xi used to calm people's hearts.

Zhu Xiongying also had to admit one thing, the backbone of the whole Beijing was not him Zhu Xiongying, but He Xi. Everyone looked at He Xi, He Xi was not worried about the war in the south at all, and many people were not so worried.

If He Xi panics, it is estimated that the entire city of Beijing will panic by half.

It's just that Zhu Xiongying is still hairy in his heart.

He thought for a moment and said, "Someone, go and ask Xie Xiang to come over."

The phase is solved, and it is naturally solved.

In Nanjing, it is estimated that there is no such name, but there is already one in Beijing. Anyone who has a seat in the cabinet is called a certain person, such as Xie Jin, which is a solution.

Zhu Xiongying originally thought that he sent Xie Jin to the cabinet to supervise He Xi. But I never thought that

He Xi was busy, and no one in the cabinet was idle. Xie Jin is also one of them, and he is also very, very busy.

However, Xie Jin didn't dare to refuse to come to see Zhu Xiongying like He Xi.
