Chapter 633 Send another handwritten letter to Sun Chuanting!
The Pingqing area is both in northern Shaanxi and relatively close to the hinterland of Guanzhong. Dividing this area from Shaanxi Province can not only divide northern Shaanxi into two, but also form a check on the Guanzhong area, thus causing Shaanxi to lose its geographical location.
Advantages. In addition, after the Pingqing region was assigned to Gansu, Gansu was like a wedge inserted in the entire northwest, completely cutting off the Mongolian and Tibetan areas and becoming the key to controlling the entire northwest. This is what Zhu Youjian carefully studied
The conclusion formed after the map of later generations.
Everyone, please go and try it soon.】
So even though it doesn't look good, the Pingqing Second Prefecture still has to be assigned to Gansu. Of course, in addition to the geographical factors of keeping watch, Zhu Youjian also considered that there is oil in the Qingyang area. The oil fields in Qingyang and Yan'an are geographically connected.
The difficulty of mining is about the same. If the oil industry can be successfully developed, Gansu will be able to benefit more or less, and its fiscal revenue will be higher, which will also reduce the burden of financial subsidies from the court.
After agreeing with the cabinet members on the plan for the northwest three parts, everyone began to discuss the battle of Guanzhong.
After months of hard work, Cao Ruohai and the others finally broke through the Shaanzhou defense line and pushed the military line to Tongguan. It should be said that the Shaanzhou battle was the most difficult battle the imperial army had fought in recent years, even if it was a certain battle.
The Battle of Liao was not so troublesome. It lasted for three or four months, almost advancing one mile every day. The consumption of ammunition alone was close to the total consumption in recent years.
Fortunately, although the process was arduous, the goal was still achieved. Once you reach the foot of Tongguan City, it will become easier to enter Guanzhong.
Tongguan is of course a dangerous place, but now, Tongguan is not necessarily the only option to enter the pass. Forced crossing of the Yellow River from the direction of Chaoyi is also the direction of troops! It is really not easy to fight to the death in a place like Tongguan. The Yellow River is not wide, and the current artillery is not very wide.
The range can completely cover the other side, so it is easier to cross the river to grab the beach than to attack the target by force.
As the troops approached Tongguan City, the time for the Battle of Guanzhong was ripe. They only had to wait for northern Shaanxi to sort out the situation before the war could begin.
The Central Plains is the Central Plains after all. After more than half a year of recovery last year, the situation has been much better. This year, according to local government statistics, at least half of the abandoned fields have been re-cultivated. By the time of the summer grain harvest, not only the people have no food for themselves.
Question, some military rations will also be provided! There is still a tax holiday in the Central Plains this year, so tax rations cannot be collected, but they can be purchased with money. As long as there is food flowing into the market, the logistical pressure on the front line will be much less.
It was time for a decisive battle with Sun Chuanting, but Zhu Youjian felt a little sad. After going round and round, why did he end up in a decisive battle with this figure? From the bottom of his heart, he did not regard Sun Chuanting as an enemy. However, things in the world have changed, and in the end
The opponent is actually him.
"Ask the attendants to send two good writers over to write for me and draft a handwritten letter from me to be sent to Sun Chuanting in Chang'an City." After much tossing and turning, Zhu Youjian finally decided to make another effort to see if he could persuade Sun Chuanting to surrender.
!
The so-called autograph letter is just a letter written in the emperor's tone under Zhu Youjian's watchful eye. It does not necessarily require Zhu Youjian to write the letter with a pen and paper. Since time traveling, he has not loved himself personally.
It is really scary to write with a brush. Besides, his writing style is difficult to compare with the civil servants of this era. They have been specially trained since childhood, and they are all the best in the world. As a
If you are a half-hearted person and write an article yourself, you will really be showing off your humiliation.
The two clerks in the attendant's office quickly drafted and polished the content of the letter based on what Zhu Youjian dictated. After Zhu Youjian read it in person and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, he signed it, used his private seal and had it stamped.
After receiving Dabao, he was sent to Chang'an City by Jin Yiwei on horseback.
The two sides are currently at war, but it is still possible to send Sun Chuanting a personal letter from the emperor. Jin Yiwei's messenger arrived at the front line of Tongguan, showed his flag and stated his intention. The generals guarding Tongguan of the Shaanxi Army would not stop it unless they were mentally ill.
.
The delivery of the letter was very smooth. After the courier arrived at the Tongguan front line, as soon as he was contacted, the other party let him go and let the courier enter the customs. The reason why the efficiency was so high was that Sun Chuanting was in Tongguan city.
At the Guancheng government office, Sun Chuanting did not receive the messenger, but only had someone bring the letter to him.
Unfolding the letter paper, Sun Chuanting did not read the content first, but looked at the signature at the end of the letter. Well, it was still a familiar handwriting, the same as another letter he received back then. It seemed that it was not a frontline general who used a fake letter to deceive him.
Own.
It seems that in the entire Ming Dynasty, he was the only one who received more than one personal letter from the emperor, and other figures did not have this honor.
After reading the letter, Sun Chuanting was silent for a long time, as if he had fallen into trance.
"Lord, what did the letter from Beijing say?" After half a minute of silence, a staff member finally lost his temper and cautiously asked Sun Chuanting.
Sun Chuanting glanced at the aide who was asking the question, and then glanced at the other aides who were looking at him eagerly. After thinking for a long time, he said: "It's nothing more than words of persuasion to surrender! Don't pay attention to it."
After that, he picked up the letter, walked out of the government office, and returned to his residence.
The hopeful look shown by his subordinates made Sun Chuanting very uncomfortable. It was obvious that the hearts of these people had been shaken. They began to look forward to contacting people in Beijing and began to think of a way out.
Once Shaanzhou and northern Shaanxi were lost, Guanzhong was in danger. Many people began to have little confidence in whether they could govern themselves based on the territory. Even Sun Chuanting himself was shaken deep in his heart, let alone others.
Thinking of the current situation, Sun Chuanting felt hatred for Zuo Xiang. If this guy hadn't collapsed at the foot of Pingliang City and was defeated by three thousand people, the situation would not have developed to this point! Obviously Jiang in Yan'an City
After finally being strong-willed, who would have thought that his main force would change the chain. The scholar's mistake is indeed justified.
What's the use of resenting Zuo Xiang now? It won't help anything.
The emperor's letter to himself was sincere. The letter not only affirmed his contribution back then, analyzed the current situation, and even praised his governance achievements in Sichuan and Shaanxi in recent years. Finally, he promised to accept the reorganization.
The issue of treatment. He is still a great general of the dynasty, assisting Zhou Yanru in the Advisory Council, and his treatment is the same as that of Chen Xinjia, who has retreated to the second line. He is moved with emotion and reasoned, and he is very thorough in all aspects. In terms of the current situation,
It's already sincere enough.
Putting himself in his shoes, Sun Chuanting felt that if he and the emperor of Beijing were transferred one by one, it would be difficult for him to offer such conditions.
However, he was really unwilling to give up resistance and go to Beijing to let others control him! He still had nearly 200,000 troops available, so he gave up control of Gansu and withdrew his troops to Guanzhong. With his troops,
Maybe we can give it a try in Guanzhong. Even if Guanzhong is impossible, defending Hanzhong and Sichuan seems to be an option?
