Chapter 70: Zhu Xiongying's uneasiness

Zhu Xiongying said, "Then have you told him about science, the industrial revolution, and capitalism?"

He Xi said, "Yes or no." Without waiting for Zhu Xiongying to ask, He Xi made it clear to him. He said, "I have never spoken to anyone about these things, but I have crumpled them into all my learning. A little bit of leakage came out, I didn't specifically talk to Ding Xian, when Ding Xian was under my door, he only listened to some practical theories, logic, and so on. I didn't talk about this specifically. Yes and no. However, I have never had a limit on the number of people I can give a lecture, so as long as I have a heart, the manuscripts of my lectures will be available all over the world. As long as Ding Xian has the heart and wants to find out some, there is no problem at all."

Zhu Xiongying's brows furrowed slightly. Want to talk. But I don't know how to speak.

Seeing this, He Xi couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, just say it directly."

Zhu Xiongying said, "Then I'll say it. Now Nanjing seems to be about to change the law. With the heritage of Nanjing, if we change the law, can we still lay down Nanjing?"

This is the uneasiness in Zhu Xiongying's heart.

Just the matter of raising troops, if it weren't for the fact that Nanjing was too ruthless. Zhu Xiongying may not be determined. An important reliance that made Zhu Xiongying decide on cavalry was nothing else. It is He Xi's reform, and Zhu Xiongying's reform of He Xi is also a green light.

In fact, he did not agree with all of He Xi's reforms. But he still had no objection.

The reason is also very simple.

No matter how He Xi reformed, he left a place for Zhu Xiongying. But once Nanjing captured Beijing, he would die without a place to bury. Comparing the two, one wants money and power, the other wants money, power and more importantly, life.

In this way, it is normal to choose between the two.

This is also the basis for Zhu Xiongying to be so tolerant of He Xi.

Now things have changed.

He saw that Nanjing made a lot of determination to kill Fang Xiaoru, this incident certainly had a negative effect. But within a year or two, all the military officials in the world, one counts as one, and they don't dare to speak loudly around Ding Xian. It is also a fact.

Ding Xian can do a lot of things by taking advantage of the aftermath of killing chickens and setting an example to monkeys.

Once Ding Xianzhen has done these things. With Nanjing's size, Beijing's strategic advantage will be lost little by little. At that point, it's not going to be easy.

He Xi smiled when he heard this, and said, "Your Majesty, you have a high opinion of Ding Xian. Ding Xian is too selfish to do big things. At most, he learns some fur. It is impossible to copy our testimonies exactly, otherwise it would be no one else who would not spare him. It's the one in Nanjing."

Zhu Xiongying said: "Even if there is a little bit of fur, it is not easy to do. Now Huaiqing Mansion is fighting very hard."

That's right, and now the Battle of Huaiqing is underway. Ye Shen personally sat in Weihui Mansion, Fu Youde sat in Kaifeng Mansion, and the army confronted each other across the river. It is said that it is across the river, but in fact, both sides are a little far from the Yellow River.

After all, winter turns to spring, and the Yellow River has entered the flood season.

The northern army was afraid that the southern army would replace the army with water. The southern army was not afraid of the northern army coming to this hand. Even if the Yellow River embankment was in his own hands, except for the manpower on the Yellow River embankment, the army did not dare to deploy on both sides of the Yellow River.

Yes. The Northern Army may not be able to reach the Yellow River embankment, but the problem is that the Yellow River itself will burst its embankment, and he will not listen to anyone's greetings.

During the Hongwu period, the Yellow River was repaired. But during the Hongwu period, there were too many expenses in various places. It is impossible to have so much money to repair the Yellow River. The Yellow River embankment is only a simple repair. If you really want to say that the last large-scale repair of the Yellow River was presided over by Jia Lu.

That is, the time when Mo Dao Shiren had one eye and provoked the Yellow River to rebel against the world, how was the Yellow River repaired that time? Everyone knows that it was not finished anyway.

This is also the basis for the construction of the Yellow River in the future.

Everyone knows that the Yellow River is barely making ends meet, and naturally refuses to send the army to the Yellow River, and one is not good, not defeated by the enemy, but is washed away by the flood. That's what makes you cry and laugh.

So, everyone's eyes widened. Where the real hands are met,

It is Huaiqing Mansion, or the veteran Wu Li, and the Southern Army Sheng Yong.

It's just that the battle of Huaiqing Mansion has a significant difference. That was the Battle of Qinyang.

It's a field battle.

The Southern Army and the Northern Army met on a narrow road. Expand your formation. Immediately the soldiers and horses of the two sides arrived, and the northern armies of the two warring sides had four regiments here, as well as miscellaneous arms, more than 20,000, and the establishment of the opposite side was not clear. About 20,000.

The battle is in full swing.

It was completely a firearms tactic, artillery bombardment, after the cavalry charge, bayonet charge. There were relatively few artillery on the opposite side, but the number of grenades was extremely large, and the position was maintained under the onslaught of the cavalry. And shoot at the infantry of the Northern Army, fighting bayonets.

In the Battle of Qinyang, the Northern Army lost more than 3,000 people. The losses of the Southern Army should be higher than that of the Northern Army. But at nightfall. Both sides evacuated separately.

Naturally, there are different reasons.

The Northern Army feared that it would rush too fast and be disconnected from the rear. And the Southern army fought too tenaciously. I am more worried that there are ambushes of the Southern Army in other directions, after all, this is the territory of the Southern Army, not the Northern Army.

However, three days later, when the rear army arrived, they reoccupied the battlefield.

Therefore, the Northern Army declared to the outside world that it had won.

Naturally, the Southern Army also claimed that it had won.

After all, before this, the southern army and the northern army started a battle, and the northern army could use three times the strength of the other party. But now it's different, with the same number of troops, it can be tied, and it is enough for the Southern Army.

This battle is to verify combat effectiveness. It's not about necessarily winning.

The consequences of this battle made some people in the court have some criticism of He Xi's strategy. Last year, we should have taken advantage of the victory to pursue the attack, instead of waiting for the Yugoslav army to pass over, as we are now, not to mention all the difficulties in the world and the problems of military spending.

However, this battle also shook Zhu Xiongying's confidence.

Today's battle of Huaiqing is not over. The battle of Qinyang is just the beginning.

But this kind of sign is very bad for Zhu Xiongying.

He Xi smiled indifferently and said, "Your Majesty, you also saw it in Liaodong at the beginning, how did I make this foundation little by little. Do you think it's so easy for Ding Xian to copy our set in Nanjing? Do you think too highly of him, or do you underestimate me?"

Zhu Xiongying didn't know what to say for a while. But the uneasiness in his heart did not disappear. It's just hard to say.

He Xi said: "Your Majesty, in fact, we should adapt to this situation, many times we have this advantage in Nanjing is very special. It's not easy to build this advantage, and most of the time it's normal for both sides to be on the same level. It doesn't mean that we don't do things if we don't have this advantage."

"Hold your breath."

Zhu Xiongying let out a long sigh and said, "I know what my uncle said is right. However, I still have some worries. Shaanxi strategy, can it be carried out in advance? Now I have suffered the people, and I will compensate them in the future."

He Xi knew that what Zhu Xiongying was talking about was to send Mongolian cavalry and let them go into Shaanxi, and finally kill them in Guanzhong. Directly pushed the battle line to Guanzhong, even if there was countless blood and fire behind him, he didn't care.

He Xi said, "Your Majesty, we are the imperial court. Not bandits. And Your Majesty, if we want to borrow Shaanxi to advance into the Central Plains after taking Shaanxi, then we must preserve the vitality of Shaanxi, otherwise we will be killed in a blank field in the future, and we will not be able to do anything."

"It even fits Nanjing's idea."

He Xi doesn't mind using the greatest malice to scrutinize the people of this era. If we say, the whole of Shaanxi has become a no-man's land. So as to block the offensive of the Northern Army, will Nanjing do it?

He Xi thought it would.

After all, Zhu Xiongying did not have much resistance to the matter of killing the people.

At this point, the only thing He Xi can resonate with Zhu Yuanzhang is that it is really difficult for any dignitaries in this era to have the same idea.

Seeing people as human beings, this thing seems simple, but many people can't do it. And He Xi was actually gradually infected a lot by these people. It's just that he doesn't know it yet.

He Xi

Seeing that Zhu Xiongying was still worried. said, "Don't worry, I have a way to deal with Ding."
