Lord of the House

Vol 9 Chapter 107: sea ​​attack

(Wake up late at night to code, just ask for the red ticket in the hands of the brothers!)

In the first ten days of December, it was snowing heavily for several days in a row, and the city of Yanjing was icy and snowy.

When the Hu people first entered the city, the city of Yanjing was in chaos. Almost every day, hundreds of people chopped off the Hu people's machetes, and their **** heads hung on the saddles and swaggered across the city. Nowadays, even the jinshi masters in Qianxiang have become the Hanlin of the Hu people, and the little people who make a living can still gamble on whether they can do it with the Hu people?

A large number of refugees were expelled from Yanjing City, the Hu people wanted to keep horses in captivity, and the Jingying army moved south with their families and moved to the Hejian and Zhending areas for resettlement. Tens of thousands of palace maids and eunuchs were also expelled from Yanjing City.

After tossing this place twice, although tens of thousands of Hu people have moved in since September, Yanjing City is still much more empty than before. Compared with the empty city, the price of food in Yanjing has also dropped suddenly.

Some people don't know what to do, and when they talk in teahouses, they think that the emperors of the Hu people are no worse than the emperors of the Han people; since the Hu people entered the city, the things of bullying their children and bullying their daughters, invading fields and occupying houses are not so conspicuous.

There is a furnace under the base of the North Pole Pavilion in the Imperial City, and it is extremely cold outside. Wearing a half jacket with a golden silk embroidered dragon, Ye Zier's cheeks were thin and sunken, but he was flushed with the heat. He sat in front of the long carved dragon table made of golden silk nanmu and calmly reviewed the memorial.

Zhang Xie gave him a seat and sat on the corner of the sandalwood chair with half of his buttocks. Sitting in this posture is laborious, and the waist is still straight, and when he came in, he thought he could leave because he had done something wrong, and he didn't take off the fur in the official robe. Besides, He Xiongqi, who was sitting opposite him, stared at him with strange eyes. Zhang Xie was as uncomfortable as ants crawling all over his body when he sat in the pavilion.

"Zhang Xie," Ye Ji'er raised his head and asked Zhang Xie, "The Southern Dynasty entered Yanjing, except for Gyeonggi, Datong, Xuanfu, and Jizhou, which each had military colonies, and in the inner government circles of Gyeonggi and eastern Hebei, they occupied Huangzhuang. There are more than one million mu, and grain can be collected from Gyeonggi, Yannan, Jidong and other places, and about three million stone grains are transferred from Jianghuai and other places to Beijing every year. The army of more than 300,000 soldiers still found it difficult. When my generals and officials were in Liaoyang, I was quite puzzled. I felt that the people of the Southern Dynasty had enough food, and I didn’t think that the throne of the emperor could be my day Yan. Said, even if the throne of the emperor is the turn of the big swallow, don't do it. Just thinking about raising three or five million stone rice grains every year to maintain Yanjing, I feel that the throne of the emperor is a very hard job. Even now, there are still many people falling into the clouds and dreams, I ask Zhang Qing, what is the reason for this?"

"The emperor is frugal and loves the people, and his ministers are one with one heart, and the emperor is far away from filial piety," Zhang Xie sat upright, with his arms folded, Jiangning gave Emperor Chongguan a posthumous posthumous title, Zhang Xie naturally called the old master by the posthumous title, and said, "The former In addition to the imperial court, there are more than 31,200 servants and palace maids, including nearly 1,000 court officials of high rank - only these people are converted into rice grains. It needs millions of stones. In addition, there are more than a thousand clan children who need the support of the imperial court in Yanjing City alone, and this cost is countless. Although there are military colonies in Gyeonggi and the three sides, they exist in name only. The military colonies are given to generals. Officials and generals were occupied by wealthy households, and military households became tenant households who were dispatched at will, even far worse than tenant households. It can't make up for the waste of the army. This kind of thing makes Yanjing have a huge amount of grain and silver every year, but it is still not enough..."

Ye Zier pondered while listening, and seeing that Zhang Xie didn't speak anymore, he said, "The various drawbacks you mentioned, at least three things have been missed..."

"Old slave listens to the holy will..." Zhang Xie called himself a slave and patted his sleeves and walked to the front of the hall to kneel respectfully.

Liaoyang didn't break the rules. When He Xiongqi saw Zhang Xie pretend that his grandson ran to the front of the hall and knelt down, he couldn't continue to sit still, and got up to kneel in front of the hall to listen to the training. Yezier waved his hand and said, "Let's all sit down and talk... Zhang Xie, you missed three things. First, you need to support officials and their families when you enter the Beijing Caoliang, often dozens or even hundreds of people rely on one person's salary. Silver is full of food and drink..."

"Your Majesty is very careful, the old slave really didn't think of this..." Zhang Xie replied.

Yezier glanced at Zhang Xie. In Zhang Xie's mansion, together with the military guards of the Huyuan, there were more than 400 servants. These people can be supported by the salary of Zhang Xie and Zhang Xitong's father and son.

"Secondly, Gyeonggi, Yannan, Jidong and other places have been heavily merged with fields, and officials, scholars, and children of meritorious deeds and clans who are well-known and famous have evaded and exempted the tax. There are tens of millions of acres of fertile land, but the amount of grain that can be obtained is not even as much as that of a county in the south of the Yangtze River..."

"Your Majesty is very careful..." Zhang Xie resisted the urge to kneel in front of the hall and kowtow, but just nodded, the beads of sweat on his forehead were about to hang.

"As far as the counties in Gyeonggi are concerned, the shortage of food and grass is not as bad as I imagined. Before entering the city, I heard that a bucket of rice and grain in Yanjing would be sold for six or seven dollars, and I led an army in and chopped up several unscrupulous food. Shang, the price of grain has suddenly dropped to two or three cents of silver—speaking of which, it is still a profiteering business. This political hand can't be soft! If you let go of some things, I will support you behind your back..." After disturbing some trivial political affairs, Ye Jier asked Zhang Xie to leave.

"Zhang Xie is capricious, but Jiang Ning kept Zhang Xitong unkilled, and the king of Khan gave him authority again..." After Zhang Xie left, Na Hexiong remonstrated that Ye Jier changed his khan after entering Yanjing. Although he and many veterans are still used to calling Yezier the "Khan King".

"..." Ye Zier waved his hand, preventing He Xiongqi from continuing, and said with a smile, "I know that many people have opinions on me reusing Hanchen, but when it comes to political directors, how many people in my family can Can you get the Han officials? Let’s talk about the soldiers and horses, the Southern Dynasty still has 200,000 to 300,000 soldiers and horses on defense in Hehuai, and there are many cities. If you don’t need the Han army, how can you fight with only our people?”

That He Xiongqi sighed in his heart, even if he gathered all the adult males of the Yandong tribes, there were less than 300,000 people, and without Han ministers and Han troops, they were simply not enough to control the vast territory. An empire of thousands of miles.

"I didn't call you into the palace for anything else," Yezier said, turning to the topic, "Luo Rong and Duo Di have a big difference in their views on Nanzheng, you must have heard of it, I'm looking for you to come here. , I want to ask your opinion."

The Southern Dynasty was actually divided into four towns on the first line of defense in Hehuai, Hezhongfu Liang Chengyi, Daliang Taochun, Luxi Liang Xi Liang Chengchong and his son, Qingzhou Gu Wuchen Gu Siyuan and his son, and they deployed tit-for-tat troops from east and west: Jinnan, led by Ye Jiluorong, gradually increased its troops to 80,000 cavalry; Yannan, led by Ye Jiduodi, also increased its troops to more than 70,000 cavalry.

Although the troops are divided into two groups, troops and horses can also be dispatched from Yanjing to support the front, but when a large-scale offensive is really going to tear apart the Hehuai line of defense in the Southern Dynasties, it is necessary to maintain a quiet, a move, a positive supplement, and an attack. The principle of containment, so as not to be frustrated at the same time and helpless.

Which route is the main route between the east and west routes, and the four towns at the front of the Hehuai line of defense in the Southern Dynasties, which town should be attacked first, there are eight main attack plans in a row, and it is normal to have differences.

The plan with more concentrated opinions is to fight Lu Xi first.

The Pingyuan Mansion and Jinan Mansion guarded by Liang Xi and Liang Chengchong's father and son were relatively advanced, except that Ye Jiduodi was able to attack the front of Luxi, and after the west road successfully captured Qinyang, he could go out to the south of Taihang Mountain and attack Luxi's flank.

To talk about the shortcomings, Liang Xi and Liang Chengchong and their sons had 60,000 soldiers and horses in King Lu, which is the road with the most soldiers and horses in the four towns. I have been with Luxi for about three years and have been in business for a long time.

Of course, in addition to the minor setbacks in the hands of the Huaidong Army in recent years, Dayan has been invincible and invincible. The Liang family was defeated and fled in the battle of Chentangyi. They were all successfully captured in four years, but the generals in the army did not pay much attention to the 60,000 soldiers and horses of Liang Xi, Liang Chengchong and their sons guarding Luxi.

He Xiongqi thought to himself that if King Khan agreed to this plan, he probably wouldn't call himself into the palace to ask for advice.

That Hexiong rationalized his thoughts and said, "The old slave thought that we should attack Qingzhou first..."

"Oh," Yezier's eyes lit up, leaning forward slightly, and asked, "What's the reason?"

"It's not because the old slave is scared, but I think Huaidong is likely to be the most vicious obstacle for me to conquer the world," Na Hexiongqi said, "Our army surrounds Jinhai, and Huaidong can still be in four months. In the time of the 300,000 to 400,000 soldiers and civilians of Jinhai being evacuated from the sea by sea, this matter cannot be seen clearly. In the future, as long as Huaidong is willing, they can even transport 30,000 to 40,000 elites by sea at one time, from Cangnan to Songshan. He landed at any location on the coastline of more than 1,000 miles and threatened Yanjing. The king of Khan ordered the king of Baishan County to lead 20,000 cavalry to garrison Jinhai, perhaps to guard against sea troubles that might come from Huaidong. Liaodong belongs to Dayan. Basically, both sides of Liaodong are deep ditches and ravines, and it is easy for large ships to park along the coast. I, Dayan, can still deploy heavy troops to defend the sea between Cangnan and Songshan, but Huaidong is determined to attack Liaodong by sea. How should I prepare for it? ?"

"In the past few years, my troops and horses in Great Yan have reached them, but few of them have failed. So far, I have occupied Yanji, and my troops and horses have doubled, and I am more confident, and have the potential to sweep the world. Except for the princes and ministers, most of the generals in the army. They also thought that Cruxi should be the first, and then enter Henan. After that, they would divide their troops or enter Keqin County from Wuguan and Tongguan; or go down from Shouzhou, swept Jinghu, Huaixi, and advanced to Jiangning, from then on, the world will be settled," Ye Ji said. Er said, "If it can destroy the dead and destroy it in one fell swoop, that's fine, I'm afraid I'm afraid of being trapped between the two Huaihuai and pulling back and forth - this is very possible. There are many overlapping cities between the two Huaihuai, rivers and lakes are densely covered, It is a place where the navy is competing for the supremacy and the horse army is weak, and the Southern Dynasties are already making preparations in the two Huaihe Rivers at this time. Whether it is the Huaidong navy or the Jiangning battalion transferred to the Zhunhe River, my troops and horses want to cross Huainan. The chance is slim. The only way to go to Xiangyang is to conquer Jinghu first, and then to enter Jiangning in the east. However, the front will inevitably be drawn very long. At this time, Huaidong sent troops from the sea to attack the coast of the Bohai Sea and the east coast of Liaodong. If you launch an attack, you will have a great headache! There are not so many things in this world..."

"Khan Wang Mingjian, Huaidong is bound to become my strong enemy of Dayan, so we have to take precautions," Na Hexiongqi said, "The luxury family occupies Zhejiang and Fujian, and it is possible to sweep Jiangnan. An attack on the shore~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Although the She family lost a lot of soldiers in the battle of eastern Zhejiang, they showed fatigue in the first battle. What is the reason? In fact, they punched Huaidong **** the waist and eye. Internal injury! The Han people said that the lessons learned from the past must be observed, and I, Dayan, will also learn the lessons of others..."

Yezier motioned for Na Hexiongqi to continue speaking.

Na Hexiongqi said: "...Attack Qingzhou first. Qingzhou's army is weak, easy to conquer, and after falling into Qingzhou, he will take advantage of the situation and go east to take Dengzhou. Although King Khan built a naval army in Jinzhou early, he built ships and fetched water. Fighting is not the strength of Dayan's man, the strength of the Jinzhou navy is really limited. If you have Dengzhou, you can capture the Dengzhou navy, water villages, docks, shipyards, shipbuilding craftsmen, etc. are also readily available, and I, Dayan, can take the lead. At the beginning, the navy in Huaidong was strong and the navy in Dengzhou was weak, but from Dengzhou to Jinzhou, the tip of southeastern Liaoning, there was only a two-hundred-mile sea route, and there were countless islands in the middle forming a chain. The island is dangerous and a water village is built, and the Koryo Navy is ordered to help nearby, so as to resist the Huaidong Navy, and protect the Bohai Sea on the inside... After that, you can use Shandong as the foundation to attack Henan in the west and Jianghuai in the south. Convenience."

"Two things are convenient?" Ye Jier frowned and pondered the words of He Xiongqi, and asked again, "Among the generals, you are the most diligent in reading Han, but today, what are you talking about? reason?"

"It's not that the old slave deceived the king of Khan," said Na Hexiongqi, "Qin Zitan, an aide of She Feihu, the governor of southern Zhejiang, has occasional correspondence with the old slave. What Qin Zitan talks about most in his letters is the situation in Jianghuai. There is some truth to what he said, Huaidong's sea attack tactics must be guarded against. The old slave unknowingly borrowed the words in the letter directly..."

"It seems that after the war in eastern Zhejiang, the She family really hit the nail on the head." Ye Jier said with a light smile. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
