Chapter 439: Comprehensive Layout

"These people claim to be from the primeval forests of Changbai Mountain and Heilongjiang, hehe," Chen Cao smiled, slightly mocking: "They are used to enjoying happiness, I'm afraid they won't be able to go." ”

Chen Cao said again: "So, there is only one way for them, the desert..."

Huang Chunyao thought about it, raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a bold assumption. ”

"Speak..."

"The Tartars used a dark Chen Cang's strategy to deliberately send the Eight Banners back to Liaodong, but the minister knew that there were many places in Liaodong where they could enter the territory of Duoyan Sanwei, at least there were more than ten places in Guangning, since Huang Taiji fought a decisive battle with us in Beijing and won everything, once they failed, they could retreat to Mongolia, and then the army and Qiding entered the desert in batches and converged in one place."

Huang Chunyao's words directly reminded Chen Cao, Chen Cao nodded thoughtfully: "Yun Sheng's words reminded me that there are many in the Liaodong Plain, and the cavalry can play freely, but the Mongolian steppe is obviously more suitable for cavalry combat, and our army's infantry and cavalry are easy to be led by the Qing army in the past;

If Chahar's Ezhe can be obedient, it is not impossible to make him a hereditary Mongolian county king in the future, but it also depends on his choice, after all, now we and the Qing army still belong to the north and south across the Yellow River, but this situation must not last long, at the end of this year do not do anything for the time being, after the beginning of next year, the war will be carried out simultaneously, and strive to end the situation of the Qing army ruling Beijing before the 3rd year of Shengwu and take back the national capital. ”

"Hong Chengchou's army should have entered Shanxi by now if it was according to His Majesty's orders, but His Majesty's previous order was to let the Shence army enter the Bauhinia Pass."

Chen Cao looked at Zou Weilian and said with a smile: "If we don't let the Shence army enter the Bauhinia Pass, but go directly to Mongolia, doesn't this directly expose our strategic intentions to Huang Taiji?" Instead, let him prepare early? ”

Zou Weilian suddenly realized: "Your Majesty, your Majesty's far-sighted views are available in Xuzhou, and the ministers are ashamed. ”

"Foresight is not counted, paralyzing the enemy is necessary, half of the Tianxiong army is divided into the Bauhinia Pass, and the rest of the troops follow the Chahar department, which can be regarded as a coordinated operation, but this premise is that the kid Ezhe is completely obedient;

In addition, as long as Chahar and Hong Chengchou act together, the direction of Bauhinia Pass can also be moved, and after the action on the Xuzhou side, attack from three sides, and cut off its back road, it is difficult for Huang Taiji not to die. ”

"Your Majesty..."

Chen Cao didn't get up, his wound was a little painful, so he said, "Everyone is in peace, retreat..."

Zhao Xin didn't leave, and after everyone left, Chen Cao asked: "Important matter, there must be traitors and spies in Nanjing City in the north, otherwise it is impossible for the Zhou family to assassinate me." ”

Zhao Xin arched his hand: "What does the emperor mean that the Zhou family may know?" ”

Chen Cao first nodded, then shook his head: "After the failure of the coup, she was guarded, unless there is a mole in your Jinyi Guard, otherwise she will not be able to get any news in the Qingyuan Palace." ”

Zhao Xin found that Chen Cao's eyes were staring at him when he said this, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed down: "After the minister goes back, he will check it out." ”

"Take a good look at the Jinyi guards who fled from the north and south, they are the focus, this incident reminds me not to be careless, if Nanjing City is closed for arrest, I am worried that these people will take advantage of the chaos to escape."

Zhao Xin raised his head: "The emperor wants to be captured alive?" ”

Chen Cao nodded: "If you can catch one alive, I will be of great use, and besides, I need you to do something." ”

"Please instruct the emperor that Zhou Kui, these surrendered people must not stay."

Zhao Xin paused for a long time to react, took a deep breath and clenched his fists: "For the sake of the emperor, the minister must handle this matter, but he needs the assistance of the East Factory." ”

"I won't ask what Gao Chong has to do with you, but you have to get things done."

"Yes..."

Chen Cao recuperated in the harem for fifteen days, during which he did not appear in the Qianqing Palace once except for some important things, and stayed in the palace of Empress Li Xiang to recuperate, until the military doctor personally removed the sutures for Chen Cao, Chen Cao gritted his teeth and inhaled deeply, so frightened that Li Xiang hurriedly grabbed his hand.

The thread was removed, Chen Cao felt the tightness in his abdomen disappear, stood up and moved, and immediately felt that he was already alive, and then regardless of Li Xiang's opposition, he ripped off her clothes in front of Li Xiang's cronies and grandmothers, and scared this grandmother who was only in her thirties ran out of the palace with a red face.

After a rain with the queen, Chen Cao immediately summoned Zhao Xin, changed into a dark yellow trolling suit, turned straight into West Chang'an Street, and stepped towards the gate where the 'Nanjing Garrison Headquarters' was hung.

Zhang Fengnian didn't know that Chen Cao was coming, and he was still checking the documents in the commander's office at the moment, until Chen Cao and Zhao Xin stepped in one after another, and then they looked up and found that the emperor was coming.

"Your Majesty..."

Zhang Fengnian got up and stood straight in his position, and then did not forget to salute.

After Chen Cao's lazy return salute, he sat on the main seat, and Zhang Fengnian stepped back and stood with Zhao Xin: "Your Majesty came with a slight suit, which made the ministers a little at a loss. ”

Chen Cao looked at the documents he had disposed of, and only looked up for a long time: "From the perspective of justice, what do you think of Liu Yucheng?" ”

After Zhang Fengnian listened, he still stood straight: "Since the establishment of the garrison headquarters, Liu Yucheng has made many achievements, and he has made fair promises in the management and training of sergeants, and no one in the 1st Division of the headquarters has reported it. ”

"What do you think about private morality?"

Zhang Fengnian looked at Chen Cao and found that he was asking seriously, so he raised his head and said: "Liu Yucheng didn't know too much before Xiaolinwei was adapted, but there are many rumors, the minister is from His Majesty's personal guard, and he has been influenced by His Majesty a lot, plus after studying in Huangpu, he feels that he is not a party and never says speculation. ”

Chen Cao looked at Zhao Xin, and then laughed and said, "You kid, it's a little interesting, but you have a precautionary mind thinking that I'm messing around with you?" Feng Nian, don't put up a narrative shelf, relax. ”

When Zhang Fengnian heard this, he immediately relaxed, and he didn't stand up straight, and said with a smile: "Liu Yucheng knew what happened back then, but since he went to the Qingpu training ground for training, he is quite honest in the garrison sequence, besides, the current sergeant's salary is directly issued by the logistics department, and he will not go to the army commander at all, he can't find a way even if he wants to be greedy." ”

Zhang Fengnian said something that was not useful, but Chen Cao heard it clearly, and he meant that Liu Yucheng was still feasible now.

Chen Cao figured it out, then nodded matter-of-factly, and then asked, "What about the subordinates, it's better for me to be more straightforward, can this person be used again?" ”

Zhang Fengnian said: "Your Majesty must have already had a slander in his heart about this matter, and what the minister said should give His Majesty a reference at most, but from a fair point of view, Nanjing is the national capital at the moment, and there is such a big thing in the garrison, and it is not a too appropriate arrangement for him to stay here." ”

Chen Cao laughed, and then nodded: "Zhao Xin, have you seen it, Feng Nian's degree of smoothness is not lower than yours." ”

Zhao Xin smiled: "I can't learn Lao Zhang's skills." ”

After turning the topic and joking, Chen Cao's face became serious, and after Zhang Fengnian checked it, he immediately stood straight again.

"The Governor's Office of the Five Armies of the Military Region of Qiongzhou Province has just submitted the project list for the establishment, and I also recognized Liu Yucheng standing in line back then, I am not the kind of person who is Lao Zhu, after the world is settled, he will kill the heroes, besides, he is also for Zhu Yunwen's sake, but I am not here;

Qiongzhou is newly built, and there are many natives, and these ethnic minorities have to be well disciplined and disciplined, and it is not bad there, and it will be vigorously developed, and it will be regarded as a good place for leisure and retirement in the future..."

Liu Yucheng's mansion is not far from the water bridge outside the Tongji Gate, and it covers an area that is not small, which can be regarded as a good place, when a large number of brocade guards appeared outside the mansion gate, the housekeeper was already scared and urinated, knowing that his master must not be able to escape this catastrophe, and immediately knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise his head.

Chen Cao stopped in front of the housekeeper when he passed by, and then said to Zhao Xin in a cold voice: "Go and inform the people of Ying Tianfu, arrest this person who violates my 'kneeling ceremony', and deal with it as you like." ”

"Your Majesty..."

The butler cried, he really couldn't imagine that kneeling here before would become a disaster.

Liu Yucheng had already learned the news, and at the moment he was in the back hall decadently explaining the aftermath to his daughter's children: "After I die, remember to transport my body back to my hometown for burial." ”

"Why, Nanjing, a treasure of feng shui, can't bury you Liu Yucheng?"

Chen Cao strode into the back hall, glanced at Liu Yucheng's family circle, and then sat down on the main seat.

Liu Yucheng and his family were about to kneel, when Zhao Xin, who was passing by, stopped and said, "Why, just now I notified the people from Ying Tianfu to come to your mansion to arrest the guy who violated His Majesty's 'kneeling salute', Master Liu, you also have to be guilty of one more degree?" ”

Liu Yucheng only remembered the matter when he heard this, and then asked his family members to bow and salute, and after he was done, he took a deep breath, strode in front of Chen Cao, and saluted: "See Your Majesty..."

Chen Cao laughed and said, "Liu Yucheng, what did you do?" Didn't you embezzle military salaries? It's not right, Bei Tianhua doesn't have the courage to dare to collude with you. ”

Liu Yucheng didn't know what to do, but after all, he was born in old fritters, and when he heard Chen Cao not follow his words, but asked like this, he knew that he was okay at the moment, so he was overjoyed and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the ministers dare not embezzle military salaries." ”

"It's good if you don't dare..."Chen Cao picked up the teacup: "Why, you really participated in the coup d'état?" ”

Liu Yucheng said sternly: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is indeed wronged, and he doesn't know about this matter at all." ”

Chen Cao was silent for a long time, but he kept staring at Liu Yucheng with his head held high, and when he saw the righteousness on his face, he smiled and nodded: "It seems that those people's words are false, and I don't believe it, you dared to follow me for the sake of the future, but I don't believe that you will do these stupid things." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."
