Chapter 118: Next year's decisive battle

Beijing.

"Decisive battle!" He Xi frowned and said, "Isn't it too early?"

Yao Guangxiao said, "My lord, it's not early. Now the situation could not be more appropriate. I estimate that next year, the Yugoslav Army will organize and train a new army, and there will be nearly 300,000 troops, and in a few years, there will be even more numbers. If we fight again at that time, the casualties will only be greater for us."

He Xi was silent.

This reason was not enough to convince him.

The end of a life, that's a tragedy, the end of a hundred thousand lives, that's a number.

It's not that He Xi has no way to empathize with ordinary soldiers. But no matter what choice He Xi makes, tens of thousands of soldiers will die in battle. Is there an essential difference between tens of thousands of people killed in battle and hundreds of thousands of people killed in battle?

No.

In the national plan, tens of thousands of lives are nothing at all.

Without this mentality, without such determination, He Xi is not worthy of controlling the situation in the world at all.

After paying so many sacrifices, He Xi didn't care about sacrificing tens of thousands of more soldiers. What he wanted was for the post-war situation to change to what he had in mind. Victory is not the goal.

Even the situation has come step by step to the present, He Xi dares to be sure, the number of winners and losers has been determined.

All that is uncertain is how to win.

Now, it's like a game of chess, chess to the middle game, just looking at the situation, He Xi has already won. It's just that the world is competing for deer, not a game of chess, and it is impossible to abandon the child halfway. He Xi has to think about how to end it.

It is to press the number of eyes and end cautiously. Or listen to Yao Guangxiao's slaughter of the dragon.

Yao Guangxiao saw He Xi's thoughts, and Yao Guangxiao said, "Your Majesty, and today's situation is known to all wise people. I have already heard that Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, has sought the position of the commander-in-chief of Hanzhong, and I believe that my lordship also knows what it means. Cao Guogong is not the first, nor is he the last. And the further the situation goes today, I am afraid that there will be more such people. When the time comes, there will be many descendants, and I don't know what to do with it."

He Xi was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you mean?"

"That's right." Yao Guangxiao said: "Many people have surrendered, can the imperial court not accept it? If there are too many generals in the court, the situation in the court will also be affected."

He Xi was silent for a while and said, "I understand. Yes, it's time for a decisive battle. And it's Armageddon."

Yao Guangxiao's meaning is very clear. The shuffle is not thorough enough.

If many people in the Ming Dynasty Founding Heroes Group are not cleansed, there will be no status as the heroes of the North-South War. The war between the North and the South, after all, was a civil war. When the situation is really bad, it will be very difficult for Nanjing to hold on.

It's like Zhu Di, the king of Yan, hit the city of Nanjing, and someone naturally opened the city gate for him.

When Beijing's superiority is particularly obvious, it is difficult to say how long Nanjing's resistance can resist.

This civil war itself is going to shuffle the cards. As long as the cards are shuffled, the new law can be promoted without scruples. It is precisely because of this that if the descender is like a cloud, this thing will not be easy to do.

After all, Beijing claims to inherit Hongwu's orthodoxy, so it can't kill the heroes of Hongwu's founding of the country.

In fact, even if they surrendered, there would be no way to get them. But the problem is inside Beijing.

He Xi and Zhu Xiongying seem to be very harmonious, but the problems between the two are well known to each other.

That is to say, if the surrenderers are like clouds, these surrendered people are more willing to defect to Zhu Xiongying. And Zhu Xiongying, for the sake of power in the court, he doesn't mind making certain compromises on certain things. That's the problem.

If so many people surrender. He Xi wanted to purge after the war, which was likely to be the fuse of the conflict between He Xi and Zhu Xiongying.

In He Xi's heart, changing the law is the first. Everything else is secondary. And Zhu Xiongying is in the position of emperor, he must be sure that his throne is the first, because as an emperor, he can have everything in the position of emperor, and if he loses the position of emperor, he will also lose everything, including the lives of himself and his family.

Now Zhu Xiongying has reined in his minions and will be in the sky

Put the power into your own hands.

Do you really believe that He Xi can calm the world, and also believe that He Xi will uphold his commitment and retire?

He Xi believes that although there are such reasons, the more important reason is that above the imperial court, Zhu Xiongying's strength can only protect itself. Look at the book

But if a large number of subordinates defect to Zhu Xiongying, the balance of power between the two sides will change. Even Zhu Xiongying, in order to ensure his own power, is very likely to stand on the opposite side of the change. After all, when Nanjing. After pacifying the world. It seems that all the pressure between the world has passed.

Can we go back to the traditional quiet years, what changes can be made, and what scientific and technological development can be carried out?

I can't help but say that Confucianism has been inherited for thousands of years, and it is too comfortable. There is a strong path dependence. When faced with a crisis, it is possible to react by any means. But once the world is peaceful again, many people are still willing to return to the original path.

Of course, perhaps Zhu Xiongying will stick to the position of changing the law. But He Xi doesn't want to test human nature, he will naturally retire successfully, and he must retire successfully. The reason is not that He Xi likes power or not. And He Xi must see if the system he left behind can defend their positions by these interest groups.

If He Xi retreated, it would be restored within a few years. Everything He Xi brought was put into a separate book. Then everything is a failure.

He Xi is about to prepare Plan "B".

And if he had been on stage, he would not have seen these changes. At the same time, He Xi also has to take care of his reputation. Without him, He Xi didn't care much about Confucian morality. But we have to admit that these ideas have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for hundreds of years.

He Xi must consider the implications. If he becomes Sima Yi. In the future, his set of things is likely to be abandoned. And if he becomes Zhuge Liang, he will have no moral flaws. Even if there are twists and turns in the future. There are also descendants who re-change the law in his name.

After all, in the world, are all the people who are crowned Zhuge Peerless learned by Zhuge Liang handed down?

For the sake of the post-war situation, He Xi had to deal a heavy blow to the strength of the Southern Army, at least the new army of the Southern Army, and He Xi did not need them to surrender as a formation. It must be annihilated, or defeated. Otherwise, these armies will be transformed into a certain army of the Ming army, and it will be too difficult for He Xi to destroy them.

Yao Guangxiao said, "My lord, in my opinion. It should be chosen for a decisive battle in Luoyang. The first battle will be settled in Luoyang."

He Xi pondered for a while and said, "The General Staff has too many plans. This is a matter that must bring all the front-line generals together to discuss."

He Xi is not dissatisfied with Luoyang's choice.

After all, in He Xi's view, the place that can be used for a decisive battle is nothing more than Jinan, Shandong, Luoyang, Henan, and the middle reaches of the Yellow River. Let's see if they break the levee.

Luoyang this place is good.

But He Xi is very self-aware.

In the matter of fighting, his command ability is limited to fighting a dumb battle, and other things are difficult to say. So he had to consult with the generals and finally come up with a unified plan. It's a big war after all. Just coordinate everyone. Only then can there be a possibility of victory.

It's just that He Xi is secretly bitter in his heart.

Without him, money.

So far this year, the financial money has almost been spent. A new batch of treasury bonds is in the pipeline, and He Xi was originally preparing to issue about 300 million yuan. And because of the victory on the front line, He Xi easily found the coal sea in Ordos.

After all, Ordos is just north of Yulin, and now it is connected to the railway.

Although it is uncertain today, the cost of mining and transporting coal from Ordos to Beijing is enough. But one thing is certain, and that is the value of coal. He Xi prepared to use these coal mines as collateral. Issuance of government bonds. 300 million can still be obtained.

After all, victory on the battlefield is the greatest confidence and confidence in the issuance of treasury bonds.

It's just that now that there is a decisive battle, the money is not enough.

He Xi thought about it, he first approved a note and asked the bank to spend five million first. Replenish the treasury. The date of issuance of government bonds will be delayed for one or two. Wait for the generals to return

After coming to the meeting, after deciding on the plan for the decisive battle, make an overall plan and see how much money you want to borrow.
