Chapter 80 Denglai in hand

Especially these people from Shandong Sailors.

These people have been dealing with the Liaodong Navy all year round, and they can be said to be the ones who know the most about what the situation is in the north.

Even many envy the situation in the north, especially the importance that the north attaches to sailors, whether it is ships and artillery. It's all first-class.

In the case that the southern army had a clear advantage before, the southern army in various places may fight to the death. But now many people are understanding that Beijing has the upper hand. Despite this advantage, it is difficult to say that Beijing is the final victor.

But it also made many people's hearts shake.

It can be said that one surrender, almost everywhere surrendered.

Tang Yan was covered in blood, holding a long knife in his hand, and above the long knife, there were gaps everywhere, so he naturally experienced a very tragic battle. Here he was the last to end the battle. Without him, it was those rounds of artillery fired in the water city that killed too many people. It's too hateful.

It can even be said that many people don't care whether the Southern Army or the Northern Army is there. All they care about is revenge. It is the one who besieges this ship and the last to lay down his arms.

As they attacked, the ship's artillery was silenced one by one, and finally everyone was caught in hand-to-hand combat.

Tang Yan naturally took the lead and fought to the end.

Fortunately, we are waiting for reinforcements.

It's just that Tang Yan and others were immediately sent back to Liaodong for treatment.

On the one hand, Tang Yan and Tang Yan's subordinates offended Denglai up and down. Even now, these people are forced to surrender. It doesn't mean that these people don't have hatred for Tang Yan and his party.

Therefore, sending Tang Yan back is naturally a good thing for you and me, otherwise if there is any revenge incident in the future, it will be difficult for both sides.

On the other hand, Tang Yan's department has suffered too many casualties and has lost its combat effectiveness, so why stay here, it's useless to stay.

For Tang Yan, the war is over, but for Ha Yan Buhua, the war has just begun.

Harbour didn't think that he would be able to take down Dengzhou in one fell swoop, let alone others. Therefore, the fall of Dengzhou was very surprising to Beijing and Nanjing, and even to others.

Like some generals in Nanjing, he is no longer very good at specific tactics and does not adapt to the times, but he has a very deep understanding of the war itself. Naturally, we should take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.

He did three things.

At all costs, recruit the Zhang family, the marquis of navigation.

As for the fact that Harbour does not spend money, it is difficult to say whether it is a condition. Anyway, in the end, the navigation marquis Zhang family was in the line, and finally surrendered to the Northern Dynasty. After the surrender of the Nautical Zhangjia, the coastal ports of Shandong were within the attack range of the Shandong Naval Division.

Moreover, with the Zhang family of the Navigation Marquis as an internal response, he did not encounter any obstacles along the way, and quickly took these places.

This is one of them.

The second thing is to attack westward, directly attack along the Yellow River, and join the southern army near the mouth of the Yellow River. Since then, the Yellow River defense line has been broken.

The Yellow River flows north to the sea, and unlike the Yangtze River, it is an endless tidal flat. Every year, the coastline of Lixu is extended into the Bohai Sea. It is difficult to dock on the ship. In this case, it is unlikely that the army wants to cross the Yellow River. The only way to attack is to go upstream, looking for a reliable ferry port upstream. But in any case, in this way, all the Yellow River defense lines of the Southern Army have been broken.

This is also the second.

The last thing is to transfer troops from Liaodong, Goryeo, Japan.

As mentioned above, in terms of army placement, there are not many troops deployed in the direction of Goryeo in Liaodong, and there are only more than 10,000 foot soldiers, two regiments, and military headquarters in addition to the military department. Now, under the rapid march, it is inevitable that it will not be able to make ends meet.

Strength is important. Of course, it is possible to transfer manpower from the southern army. But in the end it is inconvenient.

There is also a struggle for power.

If there are too many people on the side of the Zhengnan Army, the territory he has beaten down will not be spent on his thorns, or on the side of General Zhengnan.

In the war, it is not possible to do it. But in the struggle for power, he is still very sharp.

------

Harbour didn't spend it, but I guessed it right.

Denglai was in hand, after the Yellow River defense line broke through from downstream. The southern army soon had an idea, and Ye Shen hoped that the army would immediately move eastward, cross the Yellow River, and sweep the area north of Mount Tai. Unplug Jinan.

The idea of not attacking Jinan first, but sweeping the coastal areas and capturing Haizhou.

Haizhou, that is, Lianyungang, at this time Lianyungang is still the last port in the north, and the Huai River is navigable. Along the coast of Shandong, after taking all the two prefectures of Denglai, and after taking Haizhou, you can attack the canal through the Huai River.

Cut off the rear road of the Southern Army.

As a result, the army of the Southern Army on the front line could not be maintained.

More importantly, break into Nanzhili.

This is a very important political signal.

Although it is said that there is still a long distance between Nanzhili and the foot of Nanjing. But the problem is that the original intention of Nanzhili is not to set up a province and to be under the direct jurisdiction of Nanjing. In terms of political territory, the connection with Jingshi here far exceeds that of other provinces.

Beijing's entry into Nanzhili, no matter how far there is between Haizhou and Nanjing, and whether there is any other role. This alone is enough to shock the world.

Of course, the two strategies are inseparable.

After all, Jinan is also important. If Jinan is taken, even if Shandong is not all in the hands of Beijing, Beijing can even set up Shandong Province. That is, Beijing seized a province from Nanjing.

This is also of great significance.

After all, even when the Southern Army was powerful, it did not take a single provincial capital from Beijing.

It's just that many things don't just look at the external impact.

It also depends on the impact on the interior.

Ye Shen is already a national prince.

What will happen in the future? And to attack Jinan, needless to say, Nanjing will definitely resist desperately. It is foreseeable that a large-scale Jinan campaign will break out. This battle was close to the decisive battle with the Battle of the River.

Nanjing will not retreat.

Moreover, it was a battle to defend the city, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses on both sides gathered together, and it could not be used by Ye Shen.

After all, among all the generals in Beijing, only Ye Shen had the experience of commanding large-scale battles. But once Ye Shen wins again, three wins, there is a big problem here.

But if you follow the plan of Ha Zhu Buhua, that is, divide an army, it can probably be the Eastern Army, led by Ha Zhu Buhua. And failure is unlikely. And if it can really achieve what Ha Thorn does not say, attack the canal from the Huai River, and achieve the role of cutting off the canal.

Then the general retreat of the Southern army along the canal is just around the corner.

At that time, it will be a good time to start a decisive battle.

In short, if things reach the point where there is no choice, that is, Ye Shen must be used, He Xi will also use it. But for the sake of political balance, when there are alternatives, He Xi is still willing to press Ye Shen.

This is not only for the government, but also for Ye Shen.

Ye Shen has learned a lesson for so many years. But he still has a shallow understanding of many things in politics. Ye Shen will be the first person in the army in the future, it is almost certain.

But if there are some generals whose qualifications are not as good as Ye Shen and are not much different from Ye Shen, it will be possible for Ye Shen to be preserved in the future, otherwise, Ye Shen's temperament. I don't know how I died.

This has nothing to do with whether the emperor has real power or not.

Many times, it is not the emperor who wants to kill him, but the civil officials.

However, in order to worry that Ye Shen would come up with other moths, he wrote a letter to Ye Shen alone, and asked him to press the whole army and put pressure on the southern army on the entire Yellow River defense line, so that Fu Youde could not rashly support Denglai.

In addition, he had to exert his strength in the Huaiqing Campaign, and the Huaiqing Campaign could not continue any longer.

This battle must be won. To the Yellow River, look at Luoyang.

He Xi gave Ye Shen another direction and let him exert his strength. It's also balanced.

------

After Ye Shen received the order from the imperial court, he received a private message from He Xi, but he didn't think much about it. However, many people around Ye Shen were a little indignant.

That's a very realistic thing.

There is a party within a party, and there is a faction within a faction.

The Ye family was originally the head of the small army in the Hongwu Dynasty, the so-called remnants of the spear army. Later, he defected to He Xi to be considered developed. Over the years, Ye Shen has certainly been He Xi's most loyal horse. But the Ye family faction also has its own system in the army.

And Ye Shen is also a very complicated person.

On the political spectrum, he was the first to reform the army. From the Beijing Military Academy, or from various colleges to enter the army, the junior general, Ye Shen is a pioneer teacher. And some of the guards in the army also saw him as the leader of the Liaodong faction.

Only Ye Shen can unite the complete Liaodong faction, and Ye Shen can suppress the conflict between the military academy officers and the veterans of the guard.

Many people followed Ye Shen to make contributions, or the connections left by Ye Shen's father, also gathered around Ye Shen, and there was no He Xi in their eyes, some were just Ye Shen. Ye Shen has learned well over the years.

And Ye Shen himself is also a simple person after all. He was very passionate about fighting the war itself. This love is not to gain anything through war, but simply to like war. Likes to study the military.

So Ye Shen wanted to fight a battle of Jinan, because he trembled with excitement at the thought of being able to fight Fu Youde again on the battlefield. In his opinion, in the battle between the rivers, he actually lost to Fu Youde, and he wanted to win back this battle.

But if he doesn't let him, then wait for the next time.

Because Ye Shen is confident. It's just a matter of dealing with others, if you play against the Southern Army, if the other party's coach is Fu Youde, it must be yourself. If he doesn't want to, he can't. But others don't think so.

They just want to follow Ye Shen to fight and make contributions.

After all, Ye Shen is already a national prince, and in the future, it will be nothing more than an additional title. Shade the offspring. Or reward some money, which is not important to Ye Shen. But these people under Ye Shen's command are not like this. They also want more fame and fortune.

Many people are like this, they may be satisfied with themselves, but the people around them will never be satisfied.
