Chapter 144: The Imperial Expedition

"I can't believe Ye Shen." Zhu Xiongying said.

He Xi said: "How about the ministers who serve His Majesty to drive the expedition in person?" ”

Zhu Xiongying hesitated. said: "Royal driving pro-campaign? ”

He Xi said: "Exactly. ”

From the moment He Xi got off the bus, he thought about what to do in the current situation? But think about it. He Xi still felt that only the royal driver was recruited.

It's not that He Xi thinks Zhu Xiongying has any command ability. But this big war, to raise the strength of the whole country, is a decisive battle, win, save the situation, if you lose again. Don't talk about Tianjin. Beijing is under the threat of the Southern Army, and I am afraid that it is impossible for Zhu Xiongying to retreat outside the Guan.

The royal expedition does not require Zhu Xiongying to have any command ability, after all, He Xi himself also has to go.

Rather, it is necessary to integrate national strength.

If He Xi goes south and Zhu Xiongying does not go, He Xi will not be able to dispatch many troops in Beijing. And to the front, in commanding the army, there are also some problems. After all, the political basis of Beijing today is the alliance between He Xi and Zhu Xiongying.

The same is true in the military.

He Xi was reluctant to undermine such a foundation. Causing estrangement between the two sides. But on the battlefield, many things are not factional, but they are not explained in hindsight.

In the face of a famous player like Fu Youde, He Xi is not only confident, but also very pressured.

He Xicai doesn't feel that he is a genius who wins more with less. What he wants is actually very simple, that is, to use more manpower and material resources, Liaodong Army, Jingying, Hebei Army, Monan Cavalry, Datong Cavalry, and even Hebei Minzhuang. All available forces were used.

All the manpower and material resources that can be mobilized are mobilized.

If you can't win Fu Youde in the first battle, you will fight a few more battles. can't beat him, and Fu Youde will be killed.

In this way, it is necessary that the whole of Beijing enter the military system. Two centers are not allowed. The best way is for Zhu Xiongying to drive the expedition in person, where the royal drive is located, which is both a political center and a military center, so that it can communicate better and make decisions faster.

Zhu Xiongying didn't understand this, he said: "Uncle, I don't know about military affairs. The Imperial Driver's Expedition ------"

He Xi said: "Your Majesty, how can Song Zhenzong know about military affairs? And today, people are panicking, and if they want to save the situation, they must defeat Fu Youde. And who is Fu Youde? You don't need to mobilize the whole country's troops, how can you win. The survival of the world, in this battle, the minister will naturally be on the front line, but is Your Majesty willing to wait for news in the rear? ”

Zhu Xiongying took a deep breath and said, "I understand. In a few days, he will drive in person. ”

Zhu Xiongying was naturally unwilling to wait for news in the rear. It's just that he still had some luck before. I think Beijing still has some capital. After all, He Xi just talked about the subduing of Goryeo and Japan. He also recruited many soldiers from Goryeo and Japan.

I don't want to think about it, and I don't want to admit it. The next battle will be the battle for Beijing's survival.

And now He Xi has made this clear. Zhu Xiongying's character, he would rather die on the front line than wait for others to judge his fate.

He Xi said: "Your Majesty, please order General Ping'an to go south and rescue Zhending." There is no need to do anything else, just contain Geng Bingwen's department. In addition, the minister asked His Majesty to write a letter to the King of Jin. As for what to write. I think Your Majesty knows that. ”

Zhu Xiongying said with a smile: "I can just let my uncle be a true Jin king." ”

He Xi said: "Without further ado, the minister will go and prepare." Within three to five days, the ministers will go south. Your Majesty, too, prepare. ”

At this time, He Xi couldn't help but show a trace of his thoughts.

In fact, he was also in a hurry.

------

After leaving the palace, He Xi sat on the carriage and often breathed a sigh. Suddenly said angrily: "Ye Shen." Hello. ”

The voice was low, not daring to be heard by outsiders.

After He Xi heard that Ye Shen was defeated, his head was clouded at that moment. But even if he reacted instinctively, he didn't show the slightest hint of wrongness. Because he knows that everyone from top to bottom regards him as the backbone of their hearts. He can't panic.

If he panics, the people below panic even more.

A lot of things can't be done because you've already lost.

It's just that now after He Xi came to Daming, he is facing the biggest crisis.

Before that, if there was any problem, he had Zhu Yuanzhang in charge. Now in this position, he is the confidence of everyone, and his confidence is only himself.

It's just that as long as it's human, there will be mood swings. When He Xi was alone, he couldn't help but lose his temper, and secretly said in his heart: "Am I destined to wipe your ass for you?" Ye Shen. ”

In fact, He Xi understood Ye Shen.

What kind of person is Fu Youde? Almost the top handsome talent of this era. Ye Shen can fight like this when he is less than Fu Youde's troops, which is actually good. Even if you really want to talk about the reason, the biggest question is where he is. He Xi Crusade. As a result, Beijing was empty of troops and could not support in time.

Let Ye Shen's main force be less than Fu Youde.

This point may be one of the reasons why Ye Shen is tied up many times.

After all, Ye Shen may have the self-confidence to win more with less. But He Xi never had this idea. He hadn't thought of any clever ideas. He just wants to overwhelm people with force. In this battle, Fu Youde has 500,000, so Beijing has 600,000.

If the force cannot exceed too much, then the firepower must exceed the opponent by much, much.

After Ye Shen vented his temper, he didn't go home at all and went directly to the cabinet.

When I arrived at the cabinet, I immediately reviewed the relevant documents. Give a lot of orders.

Ordered the bank to pack all the gold and silver totaling more than 3 million taels and ship them to Tianjin. Use it as a reward for the army.

To fight a war, you must first fight money, and you can't do anything without money.

Ordered the Puzhou Society, as well as all the state-owned construction companies, to stop work and assemble in Tianjin.

These construction workers numbered at least tens of thousands. He Xi didn't know that they were on the battlefield. But after all, they are workers, they have a certain cooperative inheritance, and after training, they can easily become soldiers. Let them take the place of logistics people. You will be able to draw more soldiers into battle.

All factories under the Ministry of Industry were ordered to stop all other types of production and convert them into military products.

And the list of army procurement was issued, which was procured from all private enterprises.

This procurement includes finished products and accessories. The finished products are artillery, guns, grenades, handguns, revolvers. Gun carriages, transporters, kettles, military uniforms, etc. There are also parts, such as the wooden handle of a grenade. Iron shell.

Previously, He Xi tried his best to ensure that the war did not affect the industrial development of Beijing and Liaodong.

From last year to now, although there have been several battles in the south, the war has not had any impact on Beijing. Even from last year to now, Beijing's industrial output has been increasing. Among them, military products certainly have a certain share. But the share is not large.

Nowadays, almost all factories that can manufacture military products must produce military products.

Beijing and Liaodong turned to a wartime economy.

He Xi even gave Yang Shiqi the authorization to print unlimited money.

In order to meet the logistics, after the imperial treasury was spent, Yang Shiqi could directly open the print.

He Xi did this. On the one hand, He Xi knocked a hard stroke from Japan, and in the future, Japan will become Beijing's raw material source and colony. The banknotes have some more hard currency to support. It's also very simple.

is exactly what he said to Zhu Xiongying.

The regime in Beijing has reached a life-and-death point.

Winning the war is nothing more than dealing with the sequelae. He Xi has a way.

Lost the fight. Don't worry about it. The sequelae were left to Nanjing to deal with. Why worry about them.

What's more, He Xi didn't expect it at all. Nanjing has been extremely slow to respond to financial policies, and to this day, the banknotes printed in Beijing can still be used unimpeded in all parts of the Ming Dynasty. He Xi printed a lot before. But I still want to maintain the price of banknotes.

But that's not the most important principle anymore.

However, He Xi also assured Yang Shiqi. Yang Shiqi is a cautious person. He knows what is important. As a last resort, he will not open a massive amount of money printing. As a matter of fact, Beijing's finances are still relatively healthy. There is a balance of tens of millions of dollars.

There should be no problem in fighting this battle.

He Xi confirmed that Yang Shiqi and Yang Zhen would stay in Beijing by He Xi, and the two of them worked together to maintain the situation in Beijing. After dealing with the affairs of Beijing, he had already gone south without waiting for Zhu Xiongying to drive in person, and he wanted to see Ye Shen first.

Some people died, but not completely......
