Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Nanjing Reaction

Jin Shengyu's letter arrived in Ye Shen's hands.

After Ye Shen saw it, he also had a headache.

Without him, Jin Shengyu's problem is not only Jin Shengyu's problem, but the problem of many high-ranking generals of the Northern Army. Many people are not used to the new command mode, even including Ye Shen.

After the military reform, the command became more refined. In Ye Shen's position, there is almost no interference in the front line. It's more about taking care of strategic issues. The specific command of the campaign is on the commanders of the various armies.

Unless you meet a great battle like the river. Otherwise, it is unlikely that Ye Shen will come out.

On this issue, He Xi specifically talked to Ye Shen.

Ye Shen is now not just a general in the army, his status in the court in the future is similar to Xu Da's current position, and the construction of the army must be considered, and the Privy Council will make this position Ye Shen sooner or later.

Ye Shen couldn't just think about winning the battle.

It is also necessary to consider cultivating some talents who can stand alone as generals.

It's just that some people use it, and some people don't.

Jin Shengyu's future is not very big, at most there is a hereditary earl. Not even him, along with the Tartar generals, is probably like this. It's not that the imperial court deliberately restricts, but that the Tartar generals may not be able to adapt to the future war, just like in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, it is not that the Ming court is intentionally favoritic, but some surrendered Tartar generals are better than some of the generals of the guard.

Naturally, it's the same to be reused.

Ye Shen thought about it, and invited Wu Li, a veteran, to come over and ask him what he thought about the front line.

Wu Li looked at Jin Shengyu's recital, pondered for a moment, and said; "Actually, the purpose of this battle is not in Zhangde, in the opinion of the last general, it is better to send another army, directly along the Yellow River to the west, and give Zhangde Weihui Mansion to Baoyuan, as for how to fight, it is another matter."

Ye Shen said, "What do you think of Sheng Yong?"

Wu Li pondered for a moment, as if remembering the bloodshed of the Battle of Fuhe, and said, "Sheng Yong is a strong opponent, but it is just a strong opponent, and it is not impossible to defeat."

Ye Shen said, "In this case, do as you say. The Third Army is also under your command. I don't have high requirements, just take Zhangde Weihui, as for the west of Taihang Mountain, I don't care for the time being."

Wu Li said, "The last general will obey."

--------

Just as Ye Shen was preparing to increase his troops, Nanjing was also reacting to the Battle of Zhangde.

Zhu Yunwen paid special attention to the Battle of Zhangdeok. Without him, this represents the direct result of his change of coach, the result he wants is naturally a big victory, and he can finally push back to Hebei, of course, Zhu Yunwen also knows that this is impossible.

If a big victory is not enough, then a small victory, so that the northern army will return in vain.

Yes, too. It proves that the imperial court has recovered from the defeat in the Battle of Hejian, and it also proves that the defeat of Hejian is just a fluke of the other party.

However, when the war came to this point, Zhu Yunwen read one after another.

All kinds of information came from all sides, and Sheng Yong and Jin Shengyu's every move was in Zhu Yunwen's attention. Although many generals around Zhu Yunwen have a high opinion of Sheng Yong. But Zhu Yunwen didn't believe it very much.

Without him, Zhu Yunwen also knew that he didn't understand too much in military affairs, and he was too easy to be fooled.

He doesn't know about military affairs, but he knows about maps. He watched Jin Shengyu go south step by step, hit the city of Zhangde Mansion, and also watched Sheng Yong retreat step by step. Anything can be false. But the map can't be fake.

How could Zhu Yunwen believe in this kind of victory that retreated step by step?

In this case, saying how powerful Sheng Yong is, Zhu Yunwen's first reaction is whether this person has accepted money from others.

However, Zhu Yunwen did not have an immediate seizure.

Because Zhu Yunwen also knows that seizures are useless. It's just that the people here are minus points psychologically. In the future, it will gradually be neglected.

It's just that he desperately wants to save the day. He thought about it, and the only way was for Wei Guogong to go out immediately and go north to take the town. You don't even have to go to the front to command

In the golden autumn of October, the breeze is slightly cool, and the air is full of light orange fragrance.

In front of a two-story brick house in Konoha Town, it was in full swing at this time.

A middle-aged woman wearing a floral blouse and a woolen vest was sitting on a bamboo chair, casually putting the enamel cup on the side of the stool, taking a haze blue ticket handed in front of her, her fingers skillfully touched the collar of the big man on the ticket, and she shone on the sun, and when she saw the avatar that appeared in the light in the blank space, she put the ticket at the bottom of a stack of change in her hand, counted out a few zero tickets, and handed them to the person in front of her.

The man took it, counted it, and then carefully put the change in his trouser pocket, took out a pack of paper cigarettes from his coat pocket, took out one, took out a match and lit it, put it in his mouth, spit out a cloud of smoke, squinted his eyes and smiled, "You are comfortable, just collect the money, you see that your second sister is so tired that her clothes are sweaty."

The woman glanced to her right, and saw a bloated woman in dark blue clothes shoveling coal into a basket with a shovel in front of a pile of black and black coals, her face black and mixed with sweat, like ink on inferior rice paper.

Snorted through his nose, "What, can't you look past it? Then you can help."

The man was immediately stunned and pursed his lips, "That's your second sister, what does it have to do with me." Are you panicked when you're full?

"Then what kind of presence are you still looking for here?"

Man: "......"

It's not fun to talk to yourself.

Carrying a load of coal with a cigarette and left.

The woman snorted coldly.

The world is like this, seeing that you are down, everyone wants to come and step on it, if she is not tough, she will have been eaten by the people on this street and there are no bones left.

Well.

Su Cuiyu was almost gnawed to the point that only a handful of bones remained.

That's right.

This woman is Pei Yuhuan.

She's in Konoha Town.

Su Cuiyu's femoral head necrosis is not as serious as in the later stage, and she can barely walk with a limp, but the time can't be too long, she nourishes it with soul power, and with some techniques of acupuncture points, she also went to the shop to grab the medicine, take it internally and apply it externally, and it won't be long before she can walk normally.

Meanwhile.

Very "politely" visited the three sisters-in-law.

The three of them are still very reasonable.

Not only did he leave her to eat, but he also gave her "stuffed" money before leaving, although he said that it was not easy for the family to have little money, but, ho

The right is that the three aunts don't look good at the fist pain of the two nephews, no, there is no concept of style at all, what else do you pick if you don't want money.

Everyone was happy.

Later she started selling coal.

In the countryside, every family has pigs, they have to cook pig food, and coal is cheap, and a load of coal can be used for a long time, which was a necessity of life in those days.

Earned a lot.

Many people on the streets of Konoha Town said that it was Zheng Hongkang's scumbag who drove outside to give her a good life, and it also allowed her to have money to subsidize her mother's family.

But she knows it herself.

The good days are her own creation.

There are a lot of dog things to eat outside, and even if there is some money left, it is only enough for the family to spend.

Speaking of which.

Pei Yuhuan couldn't help but sneer.

It is said that Su Cuiyu subsidizes her mother's family, as if she has done something that is not tolerated, and the dead scumbag has not made up for his three sisters.

It's close to noon.

The people on the street slowly dispersed.

Zheng Hongfang put down the shovel, wiped the sweat on his face, rubbed his sore arms, and walked to Pei Yuhuan, "No one has come to buy coal, I'll go back first."

His mouth was bitter, and he didn't dare to ask for a bowl of water to drink.

In case the fourth wife splashes on the street, she can't resist it, and more is better than less.

Thinking about the fourth child, he doesn't do personnel.

After two years of walking, I really don't care about my family at all

As long as you go north, the situation in the north will immediately improve.

It's just that his idea has been repeatedly frustrated.

Zhu Yunwen sent Ding Xian to the Wei Mansion again to supervise. And Ding Xian soon returned.

Zhu Yunwen said, "What did Wei Guogong say?"

Ding Xian said: "Wei Guogong said, now the battle of Zhangde has nothing to do with the overall situation, if you really want to start a war, you will have to go north in the spring next year, and then it will be the time to fight, and now the Zhangde Chapter, whether you win or lose, it is insignificant. Just let His Majesty sit and watch, and Wei Guogong also said that Sheng Yong fought well, and the Northern Thieves may increase their troops. Even if he goes to the front, that's it."

"Let Your Majesty not be in a hurry. Calm down."

Wei Guogong's words are good.

Although Xu Da was forced to take the position, Xu Da has also done things for a period of time.

He knew one thing very well, that is, the biggest problem between the Southern Army and the Northern Army was not on the front line, but in the rear, the new army formation, the new supply system.

If the reform of the rear is not done well, even if the things of the front are won once or twice, they will definitely be defeated in the end.

Xu Da adhered to this idea and carried out drastic reforms in the rear. The system of the Beijing camp was placed in the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and five armies were organized and trained, and these five armies were not quite the same as the military level in Beijing.

The five armies of the Governor's Mansion actually have their own jurisdictions. The Governor's Office of the Five Armies was originally the Privy Council. was divided into the five armies by Zhu Yuanzhang, which was to check and balance each other, so that the army could not form a collective.

Each of the following divisions is part of one of the five armies.

Now it is impossible for Xu Da to change the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies into a Privy Council, which will make the whole world oppose it, whether it is a civilian official or a military general.

The civilian officials oppose it because the military generals are powerful and it is difficult for the civilian officials to check and balance, and the military generals oppose it because there are too many interests in it, the five armies have been separated for so long, and each army has its own circle within it.

Many people are not against it, but the question is who is up and who is down?

Who annexes whom?

Even for Xu Da, this kind of reform that touches the soul and interests is not so easy to do.

Not to mention, there is also Zhu Yunwen. He also didn't want to see the rise of a powerful military power. He wants to continue Zhu Yuanzhang's idea of dividing and substituting.

In this way, Xu Da can only be under the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and each army has a small staff under it. Thus experimenting with Beijing's approach. Not to mention that even if this is the case, it is a chicken flying dog jumping in one place.

If it weren't for Xu Da, it would have been overturned a long time ago.

But even Xu Da made many people very dissatisfied. It's just that they don't dare to directly target Xu Da, many people say here in Zhu Yunwen that the front-line crisis is in the north, please sit in the north.

Zhu Yunwen himself has this meaning, and with so many people supporting him, he also strengthened his inner thoughts for a while, and wanted Xu Da to go to the north to take charge.

This is also an emperor disadvantage. Emperors are also human beings, and people only want to listen to what they want to hear, not what they are right.

In fact, Xu Da is very right, even in the current situation, there is no difference between Xu Da in the north and in Nanjing.

Just like how he didn't allow Ye Shen to command the Battle of Zhangde, Xu Da's status in Nanjing was the same, after Xu Da went to the north, did he let Xu Da replace Sheng Yong to command the Battle of Zhangde, just kidding.

Xu Da went to command, what did a group of generals under Xu Da do?

Not to mention, Xu Da has actually been idle for many years, and Xu Da himself knows that he has not commanded battles for many years, and now the war has not changed a lot from the war he commanded before, and it is no longer the same. He temporarily took over the specific command,

If you don't get one right, there will be problems.

He is famous all his life, and it is nothing. He is valued by many people, and his reputation is too great, and it is the problem that he gave his reputation to Beijing all at once.

It will be even more unfavorable to Nanjing.

Of course, Xu Da also has self-confidence, no matter how it changes, the essence of fighting will not change, and he still has the confidence to command

The army was victorious, but specific battles, such as the Battle of Zhangde, Xu Da didn't care at all.

Like Ye Shen, he thinks about problems from a larger and broader perspective and makes strategic decisions. Instead of interfering in a war.

Not to mention, in Xu Da's opinion, Sheng Yong played well, and if he changed to someone else, it would be like that.
