Chapter Twenty-Six: Blossoms in the Trees

Xie Jin's thoughts, He Xi also knows some of them. Xie Jin's active activity is to see the delicate relationship between He Xi and Zhu Xiongying, and to express his existence to Zhu Xiongying.

wants Zhu Xiongying to use him to contain He Xi.

So that he can get a chance to be promoted.

The traditional monarch's dissenting theories are just a ploy.

He Xi didn't care much about it. After all, He Xi also needs someone like Xie Jin to give Zhu Xiongying some sense of security. He Xi didn't want to be too outrageous with Zhu Xiongying.

It's just that Xie Jin is too active, which affects normal government affairs. He Xi naturally wanted to knock one or two.

Organize your finances and even promote financial discipline. And reduce some financial loopholes, which is what He Xi wants to do.

During this period of time, not only the economy of the Ming Dynasty was developing savagely, but also the bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty were also developing savagely.

There are dozens of departments under the Beijing cabinet, and there are tens of thousands of people, and it takes one or two million yuan a year to feed these people. That's more than an army spends. Not to mention some of these hidden overheads.

He Xi himself didn't dare to say that he was completely honest and honest. After all, when it comes to his status, many things are difficult to measure with integrity.

What's more, He Xi is doing a new business, and many things are unprecedented. There is also no precedent for many financial crimes. How much money the court has, how can it be comprehensive, some small officials in charge of money, up and down, can make a lot of money, it is not unhappenable.

There are some things that cannot be punished yet, because there is no provision on it.

Even if He Xi was prescient in many things. But with so many things, He Xi can't stare at them all. It's normal for something to go wrong.

It's strange if there is no problem.

He Xi was originally prepared to find many cases from these smart people who broke the law and taboos, and revised and supplemented the current administrative regulations, after all, everything is new now.

Something has to be revised from scratch.

Since Xie Jin has emerged, He Xi naturally let him do it.

However, in this way, this major rectification, it is impossible for the imperial court to do anything big this year. As for the war in the south, it is estimated that the battle of Weihui has been fought, and it will have to wait for next year.

Of course, the kind of small wars and small frictions along the line, I don't know how much every month, I don't care about He Xi's heart at all.

-------

Jin Shengyu and the headquarters of the Third Army had already entered Zhangde Mansion from Hejian Mansion at this moment, and came to the city of Zhangde Mansion.

The city wall of Zhangde Mansion is very new, and it was built by Tang He in the eighth year of Hongwu.

There are four gates in total and there is a complete moat.

It's just that he was born at the wrong time. In the past, it must have been a fortified city, but in the new era, the walls of Zhangdeokfu have become obsolete. Although the entire city wall is more than 30 meters thick, rammed earth in the middle and breaded bricks outside. But it still could not withstand the bombardment of artillery.

Sheng Yong himself didn't think about sticking to Zhangde Mansion.

He fought a great battle with Jin Shengyu along the outskirts of Zhangde Mansion.

This battle made Jin Shengyu very uncomfortable.

On key roads, Sheng Yong fortified layer by layer. It's all the kind of situation where the Northern Army has to attack. When Jin Shengyu encounters such a situation, he generally draws a battle line based on the experience of the battle between the rivers and makes a detour left and right.

Attack the enemy's flank and rear.

Once encountering such an attack, the southern army could not resist it. The reason is simple, the southern army did not dare to form a field battle with the northern army. Once the battle is engaged, the Northern Army does not have to win, as long as there is a stalemate, the Northern Army from other places will quickly gather in this place. If the southern army wants to be saved, it can only be assembled. Okay, it's time for a battle.

At that time, the superiority of firepower, organization, and training of the Northern Army could be fully brought into play.

A great defeat of the Southern Army was also caused.

This situation is also the same as the situation at the beginning of the anti-Japanese war, the situation of the Japanese army, a small part of the encounter, some elite *** may not be afraid of the Japanese army, but the scale is large, the bigger the war, the more obvious the advantage of the Japanese army, and the more problems there are.

And Sheng Yongzi

However, he would not do such a thing, and his method was to fight and retreat.

Stop you, he detoured left and right, and I ran away.

It takes time for the army to unfold and close. If the march was carried out according to the original plan, it would take a certain amount of time to recover the troops on the left and right flanks. But the path chosen by the army to the south is the best way to go. Take the road on both sides, it's not that you can't walk, who calls this the North China Plain, even if you don't follow the road, you may not be able to walk.

So, Jin Shengyu decided to divide the troops.

He encountered a problem when he divided his troops, and he divided his troops into Sheng Yong's troops.

As a result, the two armies of Jin Shengyu and Sheng Yong were scattered in the area south of the Zhanghe River. Jin Shengyu found that in addition to the personnel directly under the other army, there was also a regiment, about seven or eight thousand people in the headquarters. The rest of the regiments were almost all met by the enemy.

Jin Shengyu suddenly didn't know what to do.

He originally wanted to replicate the practice of the Battle of the River, and march in several ways. After encountering an enemy. Move closer to one place. But he never expected it. That's what happens.

Jin Shengyu suddenly felt confused.

Don't know what's going on?

In his mind, the enemy must be outnumbered, far superior to his own.

Jin Shengyu thought about it and finally gave the order to retreat.

Jin Shengyu is ready to make a steady move. After waiting for the army to assemble, continue south. I'm worried about the fate of being broken separately.

didn't know that as Jin Shengyu took the initiative to retreat, many people on Sheng Yong's side also breathed a sigh of relief.

There are no more people in Sheng Yong's hands than in Jin Shengyu's hands. Even structurally speaking, the people in Jin Shengyu's hands are much more reasonable than those in Sheng Yong's hands. After all, there are certain rules for the establishment of an army here in the Northern Army, and there are certain rules for any army to be partially strengthened when it goes south.

But Sheng Yong is different here.

Since Fu Youde left office, Xu Da became a general, but Xu Da did not go out of Nanjing City, let alone come to the north to take office, the Yellow River is divided into two parts, one part is under the management of Shandong, where there is a new candidate, and the other part is in the direction of Henan, naturally Sheng Yong is in charge.

And Sheng Yong had a problem as soon as he took office. That is the problem of two or three prefectures on the north bank of the Yellow River. If you don't fight, it is the crime of abandoning the land, and many people are trying to dig a piece of meat from Fu Youde's old department.

How can you show mercy to Sheng Yong?

However, Xu Da did not mean to fall into the ground, and arranged all Fu Youde's old troops under Sheng Yong, and did not treat them differently in terms of various material supplies. But for the north of the Yellow River, Zhangde, Weihui, and Huaiqing, Xu Da did not make a move. It's just that people tell Sheng Yong that if he loses in battle, he can intercede for him in the imperial court, but if he gives up, he will not be blamed for military law.

It's also very simple here in Xu Da, as a soldier, you can't beat it, you can only know if you fight. Nanjing is not afraid of defeating the war, and it is important to say that it is important, and it is not important to say that it is not important. Look at the book

It has nothing to do with the overall situation of the world.

But if the southern army does not dare to fight the northern army, this is much more important than the gains and losses of the three prefectures.

It's about the morale of the military. Many people in the government and the opposition are watching.

Therefore, Sheng Yong's battle must be fought.

Sheng Yong was not polite, and asked for a lot of things from the back. Xu Da was satisfied with everything he could. The rest can only depend on Sheng Yong himself.

Xu Da trusts Sheng Yong so much, not because he trusts Sheng Yong, but because he trusts his old buddy Fu Youde. Although Xu Da took Fu Youde's handsome position, the relationship between the two was much better.

After all, Fu Youde also knew that if he could, Xu Dacai was unwilling to participate in this matter.

He was also helpless.

Moreover, Fu Youde served under Xu Da a long time ago, and he was not convinced by others, Xu Da, he must be convinced. So although Fu Youde left his post. However, he discussed the front-line military with Xu Da in the Wei State Mansion. I recommend Sheng Yong in every way.

Xu Da had little contact with Sheng Yong, but he believed in Fu Youde's vision, and naturally gave Sheng Yong all the support he could.

Can

To win, Xu Da doesn't care very much. He just hoped that the front line would fight more with the Northern Army, so that he could learn more about the details of the Northern Army's operations. So as to make more accurate judgments.

Sheng Yong did not live up to the trust of Xu Da and Fu Youde, and at the beginning of the war between the two sides, he played such a trick. Jin Shengyu was deflated.
