Gui Zi Scroll Chapter 618: Unscrupulous and ambitious
"Your Majesty, do you want to go south first and then north?" Yang Yuan pondered.
"That's what I think, but the Mongols may not let me get what I want. Nurhachi finally provoked this war. He just saw the chaos in Beizhi as an opportunity and deliberately provoked the Mongols.
, I can’t even imagine how much price Nurhaci paid to convince both Bushitu and the people of Neikalkha.”
Feng Ziying said with emotion, "Based on Nurhachi's hard work alone, I don't think they will let me get my wish easily."
Yang Yuan and You Shigong both felt their hearts sink.
This means that I am afraid that the intensity of the Mongolian invasion this time will not be less than the previous invasion of the border areas.
That invasion had a great impact on the entire Shuntian Prefecture and even the Yongping Prefecture, especially the disastrous defeat of the Santun Camp in the First Battle of Jingying Camp. Tens of thousands of people were captured and robbed. It cost a lot of money to redeem these people.
, also caused quite tragic losses in Huairou, Shunyi Ping Valley and other areas in the northern part of Shuntian Prefecture.
If all the Mongolian ministries are to join in this time, the pressure on the north will be great, especially in Jizhen, Xuan Prefecture, which will have to mobilize troops to deal with the rebellion in the south.
"That's what I'm thinking about. I'll try not to use the main forces of Xuanfu and Jizhen for the war in the south, but each of your two towns will draw an elite force as a reserve force for me to use. I'm temporarily considering putting them in
Zhuozhou." Feng Ziying introduced her idea, "The distance between Zhuozhou is moderate, not too far from the east and west side walls, and it is closer to Baoding Prefecture. If necessary, we can join the battle at any time."
Yang Yuan and You Shigong were relieved when they heard that Feng Ziying did not plan to mobilize the main force of the Second Town. As for deploying some elites, that was much simpler. After all, the Second Town was a border town with nearly 100,000 troops. It really needed to be mobilized.
We can afford it even if we send out 10,000 to 20,000 elite troops.
"Then how many elites do you mean to be mobilized as a reserve team?" You Shigong pondered.
"Xuanfu Town has just been adjusted. There is only one battalion. Although Ji Town wants to support Liaodong, the assistant from Denglai Town is coming. Brother Shigong, prepare two battalions."
As soon as Feng Ziying said these words, both Yang Yuan and You Shigong were shocked. It was not too much, but too little!
A battalion of three thousand people is a drop in the bucket for a border town. These are large border towns with thirty battalions. It is normal for a border town to deploy three or five battalions. Unexpectedly, there are only three battalions in total.
"Sir..." Yang Yuan and You Shigong were both a little embarrassed and confused.
"I said that although there are three battalions, I only want cavalry, and they are all elite. One man and three horses. Can we do it?" Feng Ziying said every word.
The two men immediately understood that they were going to use the Assault Cavalry as their trump card to deliver a fatal blow, and their mobility must be fully guaranteed.
But in any case, this also relieves a huge pressure on the two border towns. Before, they were determined to send three to five battalions of troops to each town. Now they only need such a small number of troops, which is a huge advantage, even if one person and three
Horses, but Jiubian border town, that border town will not be short of ten thousand or twenty thousand mules and horses, it doesn't matter.
"How dare you disobey your orders, sir?" Yang Yuan and You Shigong replied in unison.
"Okay, although I have fewer troops to draw from you, and my focus is on the south, trying to solve the chaos in the south as soon as possible, but the north is related to whether I can devote myself fully to the war in the south. Once the Mongols really invade
In a situation like the last time, I'm afraid I can't move from south to north, but can only shift my focus to the north. Then the offensive in the south may fall short. I don't want to see that scene, so north, you two
We must work together and help me stabilize the situation. My principle is to stick to it first, but pay attention to strategy. You can lose or retreat, but you can't be chaotic. You can't retreat blindly. You must have a hierarchy and a plan.
Before retreating, we must prepare counterattacks at the next level to avoid retreat turning into collapse, and we must draw a bottom line and fight to the end when we push to the bottom line.”
Feng Ziying expected that the Mongols would not give up easily in this war.
Even Fengzhou Bailian, who had retreated, was re-armed and wanted to launch another attack, which shows how determined Nurhaci and the people on the grassland were this time.
But now I can't focus on the north first. I must solve the south first. Otherwise, if the south is destroyed and delayed until the end of the year, it will be a drought in itself. Then there will be a military disaster, and the relief will not be able to keep up. The flood of refugees will turn into the most loyal of the White Lotus Sect.
Believers, then it will really lead to a vicious cycle like that in the late Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, he would rather draw as few troops as possible from Jizhen, Xuan Prefecture, so that they can maintain a relatively intact structure so that they can organize a defense system and win as much time and opportunities for themselves as possible.
The bottom line Feng Ziying drew for the two of them was a line along the north side of the capital city, starting from Zhenbian Town in the west, and along Baiyangkou - Changping - Shunyi - Sanhe - Baodi. It should be said that this line is quite loose. This is why Feng Ziying
Hope to gain more time to think about it.
After hearing Feng Ziying's introduction, Yang Yuan and You Shigong both patted their chests and expressed their willingness to guarantee the completion of the task.
Naturally, Feng Ziying would not kill them, but he still warned the two of them to be prepared to fight a tough battle and not to underestimate the Mongolians' courage and determination this time. They knew very well that they might not succeed in this battle.
I'm afraid there won't be much chance in the future, and they will be beaten passively.
Starting from Yang Yuan and You Shigong, Feng Ziying's main job in the past few days is to meet with military officers and officers from all sides, many of whom are his old generals. Naturally, he also encourages and encourages them, so that they can prepare with peace of mind and make great achievements.
Be sure to mark the rewards accordingly.
This naturally made this group of people smile, and everyone was preparing for a good fight.
Contacts with the Ministry of Justice are also in full swing.
Naturally, the person who came to contact the Ministry of Justice was Han Xu, an old acquaintance. He brought the secretary of the Department of Affairs and four Yuanwailang from the Department of Cleaning and Civil Affairs to contact him.
Obviously, this round of White Lotus Storm has greatly affected the Ministry of Punishment. Otherwise, as the Minister of Finance, he, Zuo Shilang, would also be under a lot of pressure. Although he mentioned it to Liu Yishen several times, he failed to attract enough attention in the end.
, has evolved into what it is now.
"Master Yu, you are my commander. Hebei needs the full support of the Ministry of Justice in order to understand the war situation in Hebei as soon as possible." Feng Ziying said sincerely, "You know that in Hebei, except for Shuntian Prefecture, I am relatively familiar with other prefectures.
It's a bit unfamiliar, especially the three prefectures in Nannan and Henan. I haven't had much contact with them. From officials to gentry and merchants, they are all too unfamiliar. However, the riots of the White Lotus Sect this time are concentrated on the lowest level gentry.
The powerful people, clan leaders, rangers, and salt owls are the leaders. To quickly open up the situation, I plan to take military action on the one hand, and use special means to solve it on the other."
Feng Ziying's frankness also shocked Han Xu.
This guy is becoming more and more heroic now. He will do anything to achieve his goals. What is the special method? It is nothing more than figuring out the rules, killing with one strike, and then supplementing it with military attacks to completely defeat the White Lotus Sect, but he has to
It is said that this method may be the most effective in achieving miraculous results quickly.
Of course, as the governor of Hebei, his only goal is to bring chaos to the White Lotus Sect in Hebei as soon as possible, and other issues are not his consideration.
Han Xu nodded: "Ziying, Ru Jun has already told me that the Ministry of Justice will go all out to cooperate with the Governor's Yamen. Whatever is needed, we will provide support without reservation. Today, considering the complexity of Beizhi and Henan, I
We brought here all the people involved from the Cleaning Department and the General Affairs Department."
Beizhi is a very complex area. To be precise, it is a regional concept that only belongs to the central government, not an administrative region. Therefore, the affairs related to the Beizhi area have continued in the central ministries according to the pre-Ming system, and are represented by a certain department in each ministry.
Tube.
For example, the affairs of the three prefectures of Shuntian, Yongping, and Guangping in the Beizhi area are handled by the Yunnan Qingli Department of the Ministry of Punishment, and the affairs of the five prefectures of Baoding, Hejian, Zhending, Shunde, and Baoan are handled by the Guizhou Qingli Department of the Ministry of Punishment.
The affairs of the Daming Prefecture were under the jurisdiction of the Sichuan Officials Department of the Ministry of Punishment, and Yanqing Prefecture was under the jurisdiction of the Guangdong Officials Department. In addition, the three prefectures in Henan were under the jurisdiction of the Henan Officials Department, so this area was divided into several jurisdictions.
When Han Xu left Yanqing Prefecture, the situation there was stable and no one from the Guangdong Cleaning Bureau was allowed to come out. People from several other Cleaning Bureaus and the General Affairs Department also brought him, so it was not ignored.
Feng Ziying was also roughly aware of this situation, so he was not surprised and directly made his request: "..., the situation is like this. Although many of these people have gathered into chaos, most of them are still active in the area, and the size of the rebellion varies.
, ranging from one or two thousand people to tens of thousands, they all have close contact with family members, relatives, friends, old friends, and some interested parties, and I don’t think they can imagine that we will take action from this angle, so I request
You must immediately mobilize your informant network. No matter which level, as long as it can play a role, you must use them to grasp the activity tracks and whereabouts of these rebel leaders, think tanks and others, so as to be fully prepared for our next move.
,…”
Several members of the Qing Dynasty Department looked at each other, and it was the member of the Guizhou Department who answered first: "Master Feng, we will naturally obey the arrangements made by Shangfeng, but the place is in chaos now, and it will take time for our people to communicate."
, Secondly, these people have probably never experienced such a task before, and there may be a process. Thirdly, you need to give us a general list so that we can follow the picture. In addition, please be a little more patient. I am afraid that this kind of thing does not happen overnight.
of,……"
Seeing the cautious manner in which the other party spoke, Feng Ziying also smiled.
