Chapter 149: Ye Shen's decision
Zhu Yunwen said, "Feng Sheng has no heirs in Beijing."
As soon as these words came out, none of the people below could say anything else.
In the final analysis, now Zhu Yunwen doesn't trust anyone anymore.
Even if the few people in front of him are supposed to be his henchmen, he doesn't believe it.
This creates a paradox.
The more critical the moment, the more extraordinary people are needed to turn the tide. Such a person must have extraordinary powers. After all, if the past could be used to save the situation, things would not have developed to this point.
But because of the previous incident, Zhu Yunwen doesn't have much trust in anyone.
Song Sheng is good, Li Jinglong is good. Zhu Yunwen felt that he could not distrust these people, but what was the result in the end?
But you can't just don't use people because you don't believe in them.
All aspects are as anxious as sparks, no matter whether they are good or bad, they must be placed.
Zhu Yunwen thought about it, but there were only two choices, the first choice was to arrange people who were absolutely loyal to him. If you have the ability, it's okay, but if you don't have the ability, it's okay. It's nothing more than a little more to worry about yourself. Ding Xian is a typical example of this.
The second option is someone who can hold it.
Although it is said that many people do big things without regard to their small families. But it's always better to have a small family to contain than not to have a small family. And Feng Sheng's son-in-law is not an ordinary person.
It's the king of Zhou.
Once Feng Sheng was on the front line, what thoughts did he have?
Zhu Yunwen has no choice.
Zhu Yunwen's reason here is simply impeccable.
Who are you just sending?
Zhu Yunwen thought about it and said, "Just Han Gong."
South Korean Gong Li Qi has a lot of weight in the DPRK and China, supported by a group of veterans, and as an opposition in the army, he is a pawn used by Zhu Yunwen to balance Fu Youde. It's just that this chess piece was useless for a while. But Li Qi's status still cannot be denied.
The reason why Li Qi was used was, on the one hand, because the chief military officer of Hanzhong was Li Jinglong and Han Gong's lineage, and then he was taken down. Li Jinglong has done such a good thing. Naturally, it proved that the Korean Gongyi line was correct at the beginning.
It needs to be appeased.
In addition, the rise of the Korean Gong Yi line was after Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne. He was not part of the original political structure of the Hongwu Dynasty. In other words, they are completely favored by Zhu Yunwen.
And if Beijing wins, it will definitely purge Nanjing's forces.
A lot of people are going to leave the center of power, or even go to liquidation. But when the liquidation comes to that point, everyone has their own ideas, if Feng Sheng, even after Beijing fights, Feng Sheng will still be the Duke of the Ming Dynasty. Maybe the real power will be cut a lot. But the status of the Feng family will definitely be retained.
After all, Feng Sheng has hardly participated in court politics for so many years, and sent the children of his family to Yunnan early. has proven its position.
This is also the reason why Zhu Yunwen doesn't want to use Feng Sheng.
And Li Qi is different.
Li Qi and the generals behind him are outdated.
It's pathetic.
These generals cannot say that they cannot fight, and if they cannot fight, they will not be the founding heroes. However, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court had different requirements for the army and generals. The kind of chaos before knew that it was fighting and killing, and it was not good to know the laws of the imperial court.
So these people were driven out of the center of power.
In history, Zhu Yuanzhang killed all these people in order to prevent future troubles.
But now, their fate is no better than letting Zhu Yuanzhang kill them.
In their most proud military, they are also outdated. Several generals were killed on the front line and humiliated by unknown people. Rub their founding warriors into the mud.
It is estimated that this is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang let them go in the end, some people are still alive, but they are dead in the eyes of many people.
Otherwise, until now, these generals are still in Beijing. At the beginning it was
Excluded. Later, many people found out that these people were only left with their original false names.
But what's the use of a mere name?
However, Sichuan is mountainous, not to mention the withdrawal of the Yunnan army from Yunnan, perhaps these generals can still be of some use.
Moreover, once Beijing dominates the world, it is foreseeable that the military reforms that have already been carried out will be carried out. Even deeper. These people have no status to speak of. The so-called influence of South Korea's public line has no meaning to Beijing.
In other words, after the fall of the Nanjing regime, these people could not have any future at all.
This is also the reason why Zhu Yunwen trusts them.
-------
Just when Nanjing made adjustments for the Northwest Shock. The battle of the Yellow River has reached its final moment.
From Mengjin to Guangwu Mountain, Ye Shen has already figured out the hundreds of miles of river.
It can even be said that fire reconnaissance, where the river can be crossed, people have been sent to attack.
The last place to choose, not somewhere else. It is the first line of Guangwu Mountain.
This was Ye Shen's final decision.
The reason why I chose this place.
There are many reasons for this, firstly, this is the place where the water flows into the Yellow River. Ye Shen built a large number of boats in the water, of course, they were all small boats. But size is relative. If these ships are at sea, they are not even small sampans. But the Yellow River could not accommodate large ships.
In any case, attacking here, the materials in the rear will continue to enter the front line through water transportation, which is conducive to the fierce battle on the front line.
Second, there is the struggle for the right to control water.
In fact, when the Yellow River reaches the east of Guangwu Mountain, it becomes a hanging river on the ground. Moreover, the Yellow River is west of Guangwu Mountain, and the channel is not too wide. Especially in Mengjin and other places, during the dry season, the river channel is only one or two miles wide, and there are a large number of tidal flats and sandbars.
In other words, as long as Guangwu Mountain is taken, the Yellow River west of Guangwu Mountain can be brought under control. The materials of the Northern Army can be transferred from Qinshui to the front line of the Yellow River.
That is, the waterway of the Luoyang section of the Yellow River is owned by the Northern Army, which has too great a strategic advantage.
Third, it is also the geographical factor of the Yellow River.
From the east of Guangwu Mountain, as a hanging river on the ground, Ye Shen did not dare to use troops here. After all, as soon as the Yellow River is opened, there are no more fruits of victory.
This is the idea of the later generations when they built the railway, and the first railway bridge built by the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway in the later generations was near Guangwu Mountain. That's how it was considered. Moreover, although Ye Shen attacked Luoyang. But Ye Shen's intentions are actually not in Luoyang.
What was the purpose of attacking Luoyang?
In order to meet the two armies, the heart of Shanxi.
But in Ye Shen's opinion, it is a fart to take off his pants and fart, which is an extra move.
The number of victories and defeats is not at all in one city or one place, but in the main force of the Southern Army, as long as the main force of the Southern Army is taken, the world can be decided. Well, even if you can't pass it on, the rest of the corners are much easier.
Therefore, the use of troops in Luoyang is Beijing's decision.
Is it good-looking after all?
The two armies met and went on a pincer offensive. Superiority in troops, this is all fooling the people above. But Ye Shen's mind is very simple, one son and two signs. If you don't come to the rescue, then I will honestly fight Luoyang, anyway, Luoyang, Tongguan is not guarded, and Shanxi is lonely. The situation is in my favor.
But he has been pondering Fu Youde all these years. He didn't think Fu Youde could afford such a situation.
Fu Youde will definitely think of turning the tide.
Fu Youde had several options, the first to surround Wei to save Zhao. The idea of attacking Beijing in the north, breaking the army and killing generals all the way, and hitting the city of Beijing, is very good. But it is unlikely. After all, it was not possible when the Southern Army was in its heyday. Is that all it for now?
The second is to participate in the battle of Luoyang.
Rescue Luoyang and stabilize their Yellow River defenses.
But how to come to the rescue?
It is impossible to take the Yellow River water transport.
After all, the Yellow River is too unstable. It's quite a hidden danger. Don't say anything else, Ye Shen is ruthless
Come down, when Fu Youde's army was in the Yellow River, the river was broken and the water was released, and Fu Youde's army was stranded in the Yellow River with people and boats, which was much more ugly.
As for other directions to rescue Luoyang, there is no need to say more.
After all, Luoyang has fought too many wars in history, and the route to rescue Luoyang from the east, or the route to attack Luoyang, is needless to say. It's nothing more than a tiger prison.
There are so many famous scenes here.
And Guangwu Mountain is not far from the Tiger Pass. As long as Guangwu Mountain is in hand, can Ye Shen let Fu Youde come over?
