Chapter 30 Silent River Flow

If this war is seen as a counterinsurgency war from one perspective, it is another perspective to see this war as a war between two countries.

Maybe others are used to the former perspective, but Xu Da is adapted to the latter perspective.

Although between the north and the south, there have only been a few battles in Hebei. It seems to be a small defeat in Nanjing, but Xu Da knows that this is not right, and it is even a prelude to a big collapse. It seems that the victory or defeat between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang seems to have been decided in Poyang Lake, but in fact, after Chen Youliang won the peace, it was already determined before he captured Nanjing.

Without him, Zhu Yuanzhang is a farming stream, and Chen Youliang is a wave. If the two sides continue to hold each other, Zhu Yuanzhang has more potential. Everywhere Zhu Yuanzhang went, he was in the valley. And when Chen Youliang fought Poyang Lake, Hubei was empty. So the savings are gone.

In other words, Chen Youliang will die if he does not win in Poyang Lake. And Zhu Yuanzhang's defeat at Poyang Lake is certainly dangerous, but it is not without strength. In the end, it is possible to hold on to Poyang Lake. Until Chen Youliang couldn't support it.

In fact, the battle of Poyang Lake was not a battle, but fought for many days, Chen Youliang's troops could not hold on, Chen Youliang personally assaulted, and then died in battle.

Even if he doesn't die in battle, he won't be able to consume Nanjing.

Xu Da felt that the situation between Beijing and Nanjing was just the same as at the beginning, and the battle of Poyang Lake was just a coffin board for Chen Youliang, and before that, Chen Youliang's situation was no longer good.

In Xu Da's view, as long as Nanjing carries out military reform, even if the Yellow River is lost and the front line is pushed to the front line of the Huai River, it is acceptable.

Not solved in the field, defeated by the Northern Army. The army of the same size cannot defeat the problem of the Northern Army, and all other problems are in vain.

These two problems correspond to two different directions, in the face of the defeat of the Northern Army in the field battle, this is a problem of organization and scheduling, because of the General Staff, the Northern Army is better than the Southern Army in the efficiency of coordinating several dozens of combat units, and there are not so many factions in the Northern Army, or these factions dare not mess around under He Xi's hands. Coupled with the supervision of the General Staff, I did not dare not carry out the order when I encountered it.

The faction problem, Xu Da can't solve it, he can only suppress it. After all, if Zhu Yuanzhang solves this problem, he can only kill. There is no other way.

He could only build a staff following the example of Beijing. So as to improve the organization, but this is already difficult because there are not so many professionals and there are other problems. Needless to say. Just talk about the staff officer.

A staff officer will measure drawings and understand mathematics. Tactical doctrine. Wait, there are such people under Xu Da's command. But a few thousand. Such talents are the problem.

The fact that the southern army was inferior to the northern army in equal numbers was a problem of grassroots officers, weapons and equipment, and non-commissioned officer training.

On this issue, Xu Da decided to establish a military academy to train talents, select talents from the bottom, and a series of decisions to rebuild the Nanjing Beijing camp. But it all takes time.

In Xu Da's opinion, Sheng Yong played very well, and in the area of Zhangde Weihui, it was winter after a few months. You'll be able to survive a year. In this half a year, the training in Beijing will be better. Even if it is not as good as the 12th Army of the Northern Army, there are at least a few armies that can match it.

At that time, it was time to fight back.

After all, even if Xu Da has countless clever plans, he can't use them. Fu Youde's defeat, is Fu Youde not as good as Ye Shen? No. Ye Shen certainly has the appearance of a famous general, but he is still much more tender than Fu Youde. As long as there are a few teams in Fu Youde's hands that can fight tough battles, they don't have to beat the main force of the Northern Army, as long as they can maintain the stalemate situation, Fu Youde may not have a chance to turn the tables.

However, none of his subordinates are useful. What can Fu Youde do?

It seems that some people fell off the chain at a critical time, which was accidental, but in fact it was inevitable. If we do not make reforms, such things will inevitably happen in the future. It has even become a common phenomenon.

Xu Huizu looked at Xu Da's sad appearance, and Xu Huizu said, "Father, don't complain. Anyway, Father, your health has been really bad lately."

Xu Da smiled slightly and said, "Silly boy, do you think that if you want to sue for illness at this time, you can sue for illness? surname

Ye Chen's eyes shrank, he hadn't heard of Sword Ancestor, but the name of the Sword Heavenly Emperor was like thunder, and he had also been in contact with the Sword Heavenly Emperor.

His Ten Thousand Sword God Star is from the Sword Heavenly Emperor.

If that Sword Ancestor was really the division commander of the Sword Heavenly Emperor, it would definitely be very powerful.

Han Yan said, "The primordial world was the first world of the heavens, but later, for some reason, that world was destroyed, and the Sword Ancestor also fell, and his bones were buried in the ruins of the world."

"But the Sword Ancestor cultivates against the sky, he won't die so easily."

"I calculated that the Sword Ancestor was about to be resurrected, and half a giant sword fell from the sky, which was a sign of the Sword Ancestor's recovery."

"That half of the giant sword contains the sword path perception of the Sword Ancestor during his lifetime, as well as the incomparably mysterious primordial law, killing the monstrous."

[I have known an old book friend for ten years to recommend to me to chase books,

Zhu's people will bully honest people, and I can be regarded as being pinched. As soon as I get sick, you will immediately go to Zhangde, and it is very likely that you will not be able to come back, not only will you not be able to come back, but the second and third children will also be imprisoned for all kinds of crimes."

Xu Huizu was stunned, he actually knew that the emperor sent him to Zhangde, which had a meaning.

It's just that he never thought that the meaning behind this was so vicious, Xu Huizu said, "How dare he?"

Xu Da said, "Why don't you dare? Now it's not the Hongwu period, I'm an old man, what skills do you have to fight against the imperial court?"

Xu Huizu's face was flushed, and there were countless changes in his eyes, and at this moment, let him say to himself, he didn't know what he thought. Probably disillusionment.

Xu Huizu is considered a peer of the Ming Dynasty. When he remembered, although there was no Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was already the king of Wu, he grew up in the victory of the Ming Dynasty, and was the most loyal generation to the Ming Dynasty. This kind of loyalty, in Xu Huizu's view, is naturally loyalty to Zhu Yuanzhang and loyalty to the Zhu family.

Although he knew that Zhu Yunwen had some thoughts about Xu Da, Xu Huizu felt deep down that his father should actually serve the Nanjing Imperial Court.

Now these are broken. Xu Da is already working for the imperial court, why should he force the Xu family to death.

When he was in the palace and got along well with Zhu Yuanzhang, Prince Ma and Queen Ma, it was like a family's affection was completely different.

Xu Da saw Xu Huizu like this, and he was a little satisfied.

In fact, the matter is not as serious as Xu Da said, at least not as serious. Zhu Yunwen wants to destroy the Xu family, after all, Zhu Yunwen can't bear the backlash of this kind of thing.

Xu Da just wanted to make Xu Huizu less loyal to the imperial court.

Although Xu Da has had a lot of thoughts with Zhu Yuanzhang in private in his life, he has maintained a loyal situation on the surface.

Xu Da has long estimated that he will die early and die late for a while, and he doesn't care. I only care about my son. Xu Huizu's wrist ability and temperament are good, enough for him to mix in the court, the only problem is that he is too loyal.

Loyalty is poison to the top elites.

Because between monarchs and ministers, they are always in a state of game, and a certain amount of loyalty is naturally necessary, after all, no one can stand it if they can't lift the plate at every turn. Because if you can lift the plate, someone else can lift the plate too. Cao Cao was the first year of junior high school, and Sima Yi was the fifteenth. But I really don't think about my own family at all, that kind of loyalty will kill my own people.

Zhu Yunwen's actions are actually based on Xu Da's inability to lift the plate, which is what Xu Da said about bullying honest people.

As long as his son understands this truth, Xu Da doesn't care about other things.

Xu Da waved his hand and said, "You go down, you don't have to go to Zhangde. I'm going to go on the march. By the way, my illness should be kept strictly confidential. Don't affect the morale of the soldiers."

Xu Huizu said, "Yes."

After Xu Da waited for Xu Huizu to leave, he was silent for a long time, and said to his side: "Cut off all my medicines, bring the wine, I haven't drunk for a long time."

"Guogong, before Doctor Dai left, I instructed that you can't eat any hair when you're sick, and you can't drink alcohol." The maid beside her said.

Xu Da didn't say anything, just raised his eyebrows, and the maid suddenly trembled, knelt on the ground, and said, "The slave is going, this is going."

When Xu Da saw this maid leaving, he suddenly felt a terrible pain in his back, gasped, and said secretly in his heart: "Xu Da, you are out of breath, and now you can only scare the little girl."

Don't look at Xu Da and now he is kind-eyed, but he is also a master who has killed countless people on the battlefield, thousands of troops and horses died in front of him, and he didn't even blink his eyes, let out this momentum, without a maid, even a battlefield general, and he didn't dare to gasp.

Xu Da smiled bitterly, but also secretly said in his heart: "Zhu Chongba, what kind of situation are you making, I must ask clearly."

The more Xu Da thought about it, the more he felt that many things were in Zhu Yuanzhang's calculations, but they just hurt his old man.
