Chapter 156: Sheng Yong's face is sage
"And what do you want to do?" Zhu Yunwen said sharply. immediately threw the music in his hand in front of Sheng Yong. He said, "Look at it."
Sheng Yong dared to raise his head and pick up these notes. Take a look at the past one by one.
Nothing else. It's all a note to impeach Fu Youde.
I don't know when the impeachment of the leading general has become a matter that many people take for granted. Whether it's true or not. Just pile up the accusations on the leading general.
Again, it doesn't matter if it's true or not. These charges will become a means in the hands of the king to balance the generals. If it is necessary to use the general's affairs, these charges are a piece of waste paper to show the magnanimity of the monarch. If there is a need for punishment, it is enough to destroy the whole house.
The same is true for Fu Youde at this moment.
The impeachment of Fu Youde is like a mountain and a sea. What Fu Youde did on the front line was never blameless.
It just depends on whether Zhu Yunwen needs it or not.
Sheng Yong doesn't have this mentality. Sheng Yong has seen these tricks, what Fu Youde conspiracy to rebel, Fu Youde secretly communicated with Beijing, etc., one is heavier than the other. Immediately panicked.
He fell to the ground again and said, "The minister dares to guarantee with his life, and the Duke of Yingguo has no such intention. The Duke of Yingguo was wronged."
Zhu Yunwen suddenly sighed and said, "Get up and talk."
Sheng Yong slowly got up at this time.
Zhu Yunwen sighed and said, "How can I not know the loyalty of the Duke of Yingguo, who is my father-in-law, and who is the Duke of Yingguo loyal to me?"
Sheng Yong immediately said, "Your Majesty is wise."
"But," Zhu Yunwen said, "you also have to think about me, and there are some things that you have to think about for me. The previous Guogong said that there was a shortage of firearms, but well, I gave firearms, and the Taiping Iron Works had more than three times more manpower, and all the ordnance produced in Nanjing was transported to Jiangbei. It can be said that Nanjing has done its best to meet the needs of the national government. As for these noises, don't bother with them. I can afford it. It's just that Guogong can't do this. Last year was a change, this year is a change, and the matter of the past year is only to appease these old ministers. You're giving me a problem again."
"You don't look at what you're going to do. Will Fang Shoufu agree to the introduction of He Xi's disciples and grandchildren into the army? For so many generals. Did the Korean guild agree? Isn't that embarrassing? I can't do that."
"Today, you tell me the truth. Could it be that I can't do such a thing, and there will be no war in the north. The thieves are about to go south."
Zhu Yunwen's words were soft and hard, and there was room for improvement.
In fact, when he knew Sheng Yong's purpose, he was already extremely angry. I really want to remove Fu Youde's military power and find someone else to replace him. But he thought about it, but he couldn't find someone who could replace Fu Youde. Immediately, he carefully studied Fu Youde's reforms and the information from the Northern Army.
He also believes that this kind of reform will certainly play a great role in enhancing combat effectiveness. Otherwise, Beijing would not have spent such a big deal doing such a thing.
However, what the Northern Army does, do they have to follow suit?
As far as Zhu Yunwen is concerned, he doesn't want to.
Zhu Yunwen felt that it should be normal for Nanjing to surpass the Northern Army in all aspects. And not as a follow-up appearance.
In this way, Zhu Yunwen was naturally disgusted by Fu Youde's copying of the Northern Army's homework.
Of course, this kind of disgust did not affect Zhu Yunwen's decision.
But out of the instinct of consolidating power, Zhu Yunwen did not allow the Northern Expeditionary Army to become an independent kingdom, and the Northern Expeditionary Army of hundreds of thousands became Fu Youde's private soldiers. Now these troops are naturally not Fu Youde's private soldiers. But the problem is that with Fu Youde's reform one at a time. What does it look like in the end?
Zhu Yunwen felt that he couldn't follow Fu Youde's beat.
Fu Youde does whatever he says? In the future, after Fu Youde pacifies Beijing, he will raise troops to the south with a newly victorious army, will he not be able to capture it?
Of course. Zhu Yunwen was worried about the opinions of the ministers. This is also true.
From political benefits
Speaking of benefits, Zhu Yunwen can't see that these people have the possibility of supporting this plan. Zhu Yunwen didn't want to damage his shallow political prestige and promote a change that would make Fu Youde benefit and other political forces in the Ming Dynasty would lose.
Similarly, Zhu Yunwen didn't want to tear his face with Fu Youde yet.
Also leave some leeway for both sides.
That's why these words appeared.
Zhu Yunwen talked about it all. What else can Sheng Yong say? He could not say that otherwise, the Northern Army would not have fought. There can be no war. That's the real coercion. Sheng Yong, who is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, can't do such a thing.
Sheng Yong said, "The minister never dared to have such thoughts. It's just that Yingguo Gong is also loyal, and now the northern army is pressing the border. The momentum is violent, there are millions of people, and they are the soldiers of the whole country. Ying Guogong is worried, and it is natural for him to be worried."
Zhu Yunwen said, "That's good. I then ordered the transfer of 130,000 troops from Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jingjiang, and 70,000 troops from Huguang. The soldiers of Jiangbei listened to the temperance of the Yingguo Gong. Ying Guogong has no worries. For me to break the thief."
The most elite army of more than 200,000 Beijing camps in the hands of Zhu Yunwen. There is no intention of going north.
Sheng Yong couldn't say anything else.
------
Sheng Yong's fast horse went from Nanjing to Hebei without getting off the horse all the way. When he came to Fu Youde's barracks, he couldn't even walk steadily after getting off the horse. After telling Fu Youde everything about Jingshi, Fu Youde arranged for Sheng Yong to go down to rest.
Fu Youde sent all the people around him out.
It took a long time before he sighed.
Fu Youde knows very well that there are more than 100,000 in Zhejiang and Fujian, 70,000 in Huguang, adding up to 200,000. But no matter how it is deployed, within two months, it will not be able to reach the front line. Two months later, the war was already over.
Sheng Yong returned to Beijing and came back, and a month had passed.
Beijing is rapidly consolidating, and the army is rapidly training. Cangzhou, Tianjin and other places, joint operation Baili. Millions of people, although there are imaginary numbers, but there will not be too much moisture.
The cavalry of the Northern Army has already moved south. The cavalry of both sides fought each other in units of 1,000 horsemen. Cover the battlefield. Even the two sides called friends and supported each other, and there was already a cavalry battle of 10,000 people. Win or lose.
This also made Fu Youde feel that the Southern Army was another point compared to the Northern Army. That's the war horse.
It's not that the Yugoslav army didn't have war horses.
The war horse pastures of the Southern Army were all in the northwest. In Gansu, in Ningxia, in Lintao, in Qinghai. The war horses here are no worse than the Monan horses and the Liaodong horses. However, the ranch of the Northern Army is not far from Beijing and can be deployed at any time. It's too expensive. It is also possible to do business with Yanwang.
Buy quickly.
It can be said that in terms of war horse resources alone, the northern army is far superior to the southern army. In addition, it also depends on the route of the deployment of the war horses of the Southern Army.
Fu Youde is short of horses here, so he must apply to Nanjing first. After Nanjing's approval, he ordered the northwest to prepare horses. The war horses of the northwest reached the front. On this way, it is much farther than Beijing.
This raises a problem. The same cavalry war horse losses. The replenishment speed of the northern army is twice as fast as that of the southern army. This is not just a matter of distance, but He Xi's logistics of the army are more commercialized, and there are caravans to purchase horses and sell them to the imperial army nearby.
And all the actions on the side of the Yugoslav army along the way were officially active. It's no wonder that the official speed can be faster.
Even the front line is dying. It doesn't hinder the rear slowly.
This made Fu Youde even more anxious.
There is no other reason, Fu Youde has thought of many ways to face the new formation of the Northern Army during this period of time. He thought about it for a while, and finally came up with a way, which was to charge the cavalry.
Yes, the situation is different.
In the face of the infantry phalanx before, the cavalry charged the formation, which was looking for death. But now, the infantry phalanx has become a very shallow three-row. Firepower is sufficient. But against cavalry. It's too thin.
In other words, it is possible for the cavalry to break through the horizontal column. More likely, break through a corner and form a sweeping trend.
That is, in the face of such a formation, the cavalry
Power is resurrected again.
To the current infantry tactics, there are more threats. It is also a good way for Fu Youde to think for a long time to fight against the infantry formation of the Northern Army. It's just that the cavalry is not as good as the Northern Army. One can imagine Fu Youde's disappointment.
