Chapter 53 Nanjing sees the move

Eight hundred miles of urgent messengers rushed to Nanjing from all over the country to report the Beijing army westward to Nanjing.

It's just that they don't need to report it, Zhu Yunwen already knows.

Jinyiwei is just internal chaos, and many things don't go well. And not completely paralyzed. This kind of simplest intelligence work can still be done well.

After Zhu Yunwen heard the news, he immediately convened the ministers to discuss. And specially sent someone to ask Fu Youde on the front line to express his opinion.

It's just that the reason why Yangmou is Yangmou is that even if many things can be understood, there is no way to crack them.

Although it is said that because of military reform, the southern army may not be able to defeat the northern army, but there is no shortage of people who understand the top-level generals. Who doesn't know, Guanzhong is in the eastern part of the country, there is a tendency to build a high-rise position, and if Guanzhong is not guaranteed, it will be difficult for Shanxi to be owned by me.

As soon as Shanxi goes, the Yellow River is only a small area, and it is difficult to be a northern soldier.

The strategic shape is extremely bad.

At that point, don't think about counterattacking. It would be nice to be able to go north and south.

However, the separation of the North and the South is not only unacceptable to Zhu Yunwen. Even any of these ministers are unacceptable.

It's just that in the face of such a situation, no one can say a good way.

If you want to use troops in the northwest, you must transfer troops to the northwest, but the northwest is withered, and the local output is not much. Shaanxi has withered for a long time, not a year or two, when you are not welcome, during the Northern Song Dynasty, the northwest used troops, and the local output of Shaanxi was used, and it was never possible to supply the army. Food must be transferred from the field.

The same is true today. At the beginning, the Northern Expedition collected all the people from the northwest and settled in Guanzhong. But two million old and weak. Even if you add the people of Guanzhong, there are only a few million. How can you support the conquest of the army.

That is, the use of troops in the northwest. Not only must troops be sent to transport baggage, but even the people who carry baggage must be called elsewhere. And the rations of these heavy men must also be transported from other places, so the expenses are huge, you can imagine.

It is estimated that millions of people will be used to supply hundreds of thousands of people on the front line. In this way, not only is Shaanxi's civil power used for the war, but even the people's power in neighboring provinces is overdrawn. Not to mention collecting taxes.

It would be nice not to cause a civil uprising.

But don't do that? It is even more impossible to abandon Shaanxi.

"Your Majesty," said Han Gong, "Shaanxi cannot afford to lose, and what it needs to do now is to send troops to the northwest. Just in case."

"Your Majesty," Fang Xiaoru said, "What thief has sinister intentions, what he has to do now is to keep the northwest, and wait for the future to make a plan, the minister asks His Majesty to give an order to transfer the troops and horses of the Sichuan Metropolitan Division to the north, and order that the grain from Shuzhong will not be transported to Jingshi, but directly transported to Guanzhong, and send the Minister of the Household Department to deploy the people of the southwest to support Guanzhong." Look at the book

Zhu Yunwen's breathing was a little short. He also knew that the methods of Han Gong Li Qi and Fang Xiaoru were actually just tricks to see and dismantle.

I know that if I follow He Xi's rhythm, there must be a problem in this, but unfortunately, it is even more problematic not to accept it.

If it does not accept the offer, the front will be pushed directly to the front line of the Qinling Mountains, which will be even more unacceptable to Nanjing.

Zhu Yunwen said, "Accurate."

Li Qi, the Duke of Korea, said, "Your Majesty, Song Sheng, the commander of the Northwest Military and now Shaanxi, presides over it. Song Sheng's veteran can be entrusted with a big responsibility, but the northwest army is thin, divided into Xining, Gansu, Ningxia, and Shaanxi, and another one follows Geng Bingwen into Shanxi.

"Han Gong," said Zide, "the thieves have been going west for more than half a year this time, and after the beginning of spring, they will make a big fanfare and declare the world, which is not in line with the way of using soldiers, and there must be deception in it. The lower officials thought that the plank road was dark and Chencang. Intended in Shanxi. It is to lure Chang Xinghou to send troops."

"South Korea's public statement is exactly the plan of the thieves."

Han Gong said, "So what?"

Qi De was stunned, not knowing what Han Gong said. Han Gong said: "Lord Qi, after all, he is a literati, and he doesn't know that the victory or defeat on the battlefield is always fought with a knife and a gun. Changxinghou has been in Shanxi for such a long time, isn't it to fight thieves. now

Isn't it a fighter, and even if the Marquis of Changxing is defeated, it can delay time, and Shanxi can't lose it. It can also give Shaanxi more time to prepare."

"The situation in the imperial court is critical, and we have to make a choice."

"Your Majesty, please."

Zhu Yunwen was a little irritable, before he came, he had also seen the military situation in Shaanxi, and it can be said that since the start of the war, the Shaanxi Metropolitan Division has transferred troops to Shanxi many times. I don't dare to say that I have time. But the land of Guanlong is indeed empty of troops. In the entire northwest, there are sufficient troops in Gansu, Ningxia, Yulin and other border fortresses.

Other than that, the number of troops is very small.

Even if there are plenty of troops on the border, it is still relative. After all, this is a border that stretches for thousands of miles. It's not too much to put hundreds of thousands of horses on the table. Now it would be nice to have hundreds of thousands.

It's hard to fend off the opponent's attack.

Zhu Yunwen said, "Yes. That's all for today. Mr. Ding stayed."

Everyone else goes. Only Ding Xian stayed.

Zhu Yunwen said, "Why didn't Ding Xian speak today?"

Ding Xian said, "Your Majesty, the minister is thinking about something."

Zhu Yunwen said, "What's the matter?"

Ding Xian said: "The journey from Beijing to the northwest is also long, is there a problem? Before Shanxi is resolved, what confidence does Beijing have in fighting in Shaanxi for a long time and fighting with us?"

Zhu Yunwen was stunned, he thought about it carefully, he had never thought about this problem. Or maybe what he got directly from the minister was the conclusion. Think about it, from Sichuan to Shaanxi, from Henan to Shaanxi, there are mature official roads, many of these official roads are not repaired by the Ming Dynasty, but by the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the roads repaired from generation to generation.

This road is no different from ordinary country roads in later generations, but in this era, it is already quite good.

And attacking Shaanxi from Beijing, many places along the way are simply no man's land. If the logistics logic of Nanjing's side is followed, it is estimated that Beijing will also recruit millions of people, step by step. Maintaining the logistics line is the only way to supply the army to fight on the front line.

Just like Ming Chengzu's Northern Expedition, nearly a million people were in charge of logistics, and there was only one camp for dozens of miles to support tens of thousands of cavalry to fight in the depths of the grassland.

The consumption is too great.

Zhu Yunwen said, "How dare the Northern Thief do this?"

Ding Xian said, "It's the railway."

Zhu Yunwen said, "Railway?"

As the emperor, Zhu Yunwen's work is very full. Although he is not as diligent as Zhu Yuanzhang, he is not bad. But there are many things in the world, I don't know how many, and it is impossible for one person to deal with them, so there must be a focus.

That's the problem.

It is also a common technique used by ministers to fool the emperor.

The emperor faced the sea of songs, and many times, he could see what the people below wanted him to see.

Don't forget what Fang Xiaoru's background is. Even if Fang Xiaoru doesn't do anything, the people under Fang Xiaoru won't do anything.

Is the railway good?

The effect of the railway, where to put it. Anyone with a discerning eye knows the benefits of railroads. The railway can even be said to be the signboard of He Xi's new school and new policy. Many people don't understand what the benefits of the New Deal are and what their connotations are. But when it comes to railways, you naturally know what they are.

Fang Xiaoru was also speechless about the railway.

In the face of the railway, all the slander of the New Deal cannot be spoken.

But if you can't say it, there's no way to deal with it? That's naïve. If politics is only black and white, it will be a peaceful world.

Many times, only look at the position, only look at the interests, not at right and wrong.

So, with the acquiescence of Fang Xiaoru, the railway and even many other things were blocked.

Unless there is a certain level of people, they don't know that there is this thing in the north. Even in the recital to Zhu Yunwen, he avoided the important and trivial, was vague, and manipulated the words, turning the important into unimportant.

The Beijing-Ying Railway has become a straight road in Nanjing.

There is a difference between Qin Straight and Chi. Chidao is similar to a railway, but there are no rails

, but wood. The straights are not. But underneath the pen of these people, a little vague, that's it.

I have to admit that language is an art.

Zhu Yunwen didn't think much about this matter at all. After all, in his opinion, repairing roads is also a normal thing.
