[Red Mansions] The Road to Empress Dowager

Xing Cheng only left the camp in the evening. It is said that the military camp is difficult to enter, but he has a badge of Jin Yiwei on his body, and naturally everyone at the checkpoint will let him through.

Tu Chang couldn't help being attached to this little uncle, but it seemed that other people in the camp seemed to have developed some friendship with his little uncle, which made Tu Chang dumbfounded.

My brother-in-law went to the place where the elementary school was a top class, and he did very well. If he joined the army, he would probably do the same. He is much more reserved in this regard.

The endless training and ideological work started again, and Tu Chang had to endure it.

……

However, on this day, the emperor and empress finally ended their relatively relaxing time and set sail in Jinzhou.

After the construction of "Liaozhong Jinglue" Tan Qian, the ruins after being attacked by Houjin the year before last have been completely restored, and it is in a state of harmony.

"Liaozhong Jinglue" is a temporary official position, "Jinglue" is the first rank, which is also on the same level as the governor, but in order to allow him to coordinate the government affairs of border defense, he is given the title of Minister of the Ministry of War.Therefore, Tan Qian spent 15 years becoming an extremely human minister, which is really a great grace of the emperor.

There are no details about government affairs, big or small, and they are handled with great care.

Also stationed in Jinzhou is Xing Xiuyan's old friend, the Red Shirt Army, commanded by Zhao Wenlong, who once played a major role in pacifying the White Lotus Rebellion, and is now the Marquis of Jing'an.

While Zhou Xianchuan's White Shirt Army was stationed in Chaoyang, the Shuofang Army led by the Prince of Xining was stationed in Datong at this time.

The Black Shirts are stationed in Beiping. Although Beiping is not the capital at this time, it is also an important border defense town, especially where there are a large number of treacherous officials.

So the North Defense is really like an iron barrel.

On the second day after Shengjia arrived, the Empress inspected the city defense, logistics and inspected the Red Shirt Army.

The next day, in Jinzhou, a secret military meeting was held with only Tan Qian, Zhao Wenlong, and Xiao Jingyun, Lu Kun, and Zhou Xianchuan who came secretly.

The emperor plans to launch an attack in late spring and early summer, but he also needs to listen to their opinions.

Zhao Wenlong said: "Our army should attack Panshan first. This place is adjacent to the southeast of Jinzhou. Later Jin has been operating here for a long time, and [-] elite soldiers with red flags are stationed here. If there is a northern expedition, some of these troops will harass the rear of the army at any time. Our army is really at a disadvantage."

Lu Kun said: "Master Zhao is justified, and this minister also means the same."

Everyone agrees on this point, and it is wrong not to eat the meat that is right in front of you.

Tu Yuanyi asked: "Then how to deploy the army after taking Panshan?"

Zhou Xianchuan said: "At this time, the Zhou army is strong and strong, and our army can take their capital Shenyang in one fell swoop, and the Jin Dynasty will surely perish."

Beat them back to their original form, dismantle their court skeleton, and the country will be destroyed.

If you have this merit, you must be named a marquis.

Zhou Xianchuan was originally a Marquis, but for the sake of the old lord's plea, the emperor actually lowered him to a noble. There is a price for everything.

Tu Yuanyi has the "hatred of subjugation" and "vengeance of smearing" towards Hou Jin from his previous life. At this time, there are 20 troops, and a joint attack may not be impossible, so it would be deceiving not to be moved.He just wanted to crush and flatten the Houjin, so as to eliminate the hatred in his heart for a hundred years.

Tu Yuanyi thought for a while, but neither agreed nor objected, and asked other people.

Xiao Jingyun said: "I think that Liaoyang should be attacked. Liaoyang is the old capital of Jianshou. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the head of the Jianshou chief moved the capital to Shenyang. But Liaoyang has always been an important town in the southeast of Liaoyang. After the minister heard about it, The Jin and puppet imperial courts vigorously developed southern Liaoning. It has been in operation for a long time, with tens of thousands of fertile land, and close contacts with North Korea and Japan. Later Jin will inevitably lack food and grass, and the army will be in chaos."

Zhao Wenlong said: "Wonderful! I also have the same idea."

In fact, Tu Yuanyi is actually the same method. Hou Jin has refused to surrender so far, which shows that the strength of luck is still there.When Zhu Yuanzhang made the Northern Expedition to the Yuan Dynasty, because the Yuan Dynasty still had strength, he did not attack Dadu first, but also occupied Shandong and Henan.Tu Yuanyi read history books thoroughly, of course he would have ideas for reference.

Tu Yuanyi asked, "What's the queen thinking?" He also asked Xing Xiuyan recently, but she was still thinking about it.

In fact, Xing Xiuyan is having a hard time making up his mind now. The lesson of warlike death and ignorance of war is dangerous is entangled with the two thoughts that started the era of imperialism.

She let out a long sigh and said: "Although it is of great strategic significance to attack Liaoyang, I think that the important town of Liaoyang is easily aided by the Zhenghuang and Xianghuang banners of the three upper banners of Shenyang in the north, Anshan in the south, and Benxi in the west. Geographically, it is not good for our army. The Jurchens are dissatisfied with ten thousand, and they will not fight when they are full. After capturing Panshan, they still have strength. Jin Hongli is quite capable. I am afraid that you can think of it. He may not have imagined that Liaonan is indeed the queen The essence of the Golden Dynasty."

Xing Xiuyan walked up to the map and said: "After Panshan is captured, to deter Shenyang and Liaoyang, Jin Hongli must defend here with heavy troops. Our army should attack it unpreparedly, take Zhangwu in lightning, and then go north to occupy Siping and Faku, and suppress Gongzhuling. Siping is the only way for business exchanges between Hou Jin and the traitor smuggling groups in the Guan, and many Mongolian tribes at both ends of the snake and mouse. The area around Gongzhuling is also an important granary in the Guandong. Although it will be a bitter battle with heavy troops guarding it, its strategic significance is much higher than that of taking Liaoyang. As long as Siping is firmly occupied, China will change geographically the state of being overwhelmed by the northern nation Taishan for hundreds of years. At this time, the enemy's strategic defeat is already determined, and if they don't even attack Shenyang, just withdraw their troops, and our Dazhou will remain invincible for the next 50 years." The materials and food of Houjin did not only come from southern Liaoning, and the trade was not only from North Korea and Japan.

Zhao Wenlong said: "But to capture Siping, the battle line will be much longer. I don't know what is the intention of Mongolia in the west. Just in case... we can't take Shenyang, and our army's Northern Expedition will come to naught?"

Xing Xiuyan said: "So we must do our best to win Siping and become one with our big Zhou. After our army occupies Siping, Hou Jin will either lead his army to the Northern Expedition to fight for important areas; or counterattack Jinzhou and Panshan to encircle Wei and save Zhao; or stick to Shenyang and Liaoyang. .But the three situations are all beneficial to our army, they are just fighting trapped beasts. When the summer is green and yellow, they will starve to death, and their strength is not enough to see."

Zhou Xianchuan said, "Attacking Shenyang wiped out Houjin in one fell swoop. They don't even have a chance to fight trapped beasts."

Xing Xiuyan said: "Why not? If they retreat northward to Jilin to preserve their strength, if our army continues to fight, the front line will be different and stretched? On the other hand, our army has successfully occupied the entire territory of Liaoning. How can we not demand it everywhere?" Divide the troops for guarding, and the troops that can be deployed for combat must be stretched. Second, the management of the newly seized land is complicated, manpower and material resources are consumed, and it is very likely that they will fall into a quagmire and find it difficult to fight. When they retreat to Jilin, they will strive to hold on to the Siping economic hub , our army is already a tired army, and it will be even more difficult to attack Siping and cut off its vitality. At that time, Jurchen will be like the Southern Song Dynasty. Although there is the shame of subjugation, there will still be half of the country in the north. In China, firstly, if you can’t kill a snake, you will make a comeback in about 20 years, and secondly, the result of this battle is only half behind Jinjiangshan in Liaoning. But on the contrary, our army won Siping first, and we are not in a hurry to occupy the land of Guangbao in Liaoning, Shenyang , Liaoyang has not yet fallen, why is Jin Hongli willing to retreat to Jilin? He is bound to fight with our army, and when the time comes, the situation of our army divided into guards is not serious. If he shows any supernatural powers, our army can relax When the two countries are at war, one should not be eager to covet the results of one city and one place for a while, and the result is limited to the crisis of dividing troops and garrisoning, with their hands tied. Our army is like picking something out of a bag, who will fight for the front?"

Although it is said that the five ethnic groups are a republic, from this standpoint, when she seeks the greatest benefit for the current country, she will not care about it even if she is ruthless.History is like this, born at the time, with different positions, it is hard to say who is right and who is wrong.

Tu Yuanyi couldn't help but his eyes lit up, he had comprehended its essence, and his heart was full of enthusiasm.

Xiao Jingyun couldn't help clapping his hands in admiration: Aunt Queen, you are so ruthless!

Tan Qian suddenly said: "After occupying Siping, will Jin Hongli send troops to retake Siping, or capture Jinzhou?"

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said: "It is reasonable to take back Siping. After all, our army has newly occupied Siping and its foundation is still shallow. It is easier to fight than Jinzhou, and Siping is too important."

Lu Kun said: "At this time, our army still has a lot of troops that can be adjusted. If we attack Shenyang again, Jin Hongli will definitely return to help, and we can surround the points for reinforcements."

Xiao Jingyun said: "Even if Liaoyang is attacked again, Jin Hongli will have to save him. If the north loses its breath, if the south is broken again, it will still be caught in a pincer attack from the north and the south. Afterwards, Jin's power is over."

"Wonderful!" Tu Yuanyi clapped his hands, "It's really not luck that Zitong took down Beiyue!"

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said: "It's not because His Majesty supports it, the soldiers serve their orders, I didn't rush into battle."

At present, Tu Yuanyi ordered to keep it secret, and the people present should not reveal the secret to anyone.The task of attacking Panshan was handed over to the Hubei New Army, which made the eyes of several generals reddened.

At this time, the logistics of the Sichuan army's food, grass and ordnance were changed from south to north. Before there was Chen Yi in Pingnan to support five armies, but now it should be no problem to support two armies in the north.The First Army of the Sichuan Army reassembled at the Beijing camp to adapt to training, and was also waiting for the logistics to be in place. At this time, it was also on the way north.

……

"You want to conquer Siping yourself?" Tu Yuanyi was taken aback, "I don't agree."

Xing Xiuyan looked at Tu Yuanyi and said, "Then can you pick someone more suitable than me?"

Tu Yuanyi worked hard, but among the available people he cultivated and promoted, there were many generals but not handsome ones. The former general Xiao Lang was actually the last handsome talent in this dynasty.

As a queen, Xing Xiuyan can balance the relationship between the various armies, and she has rich experience and eyes for future generations.

Tu Yuanyi himself has accumulated for more than a hundred years, so he has this talent, but as the emperor, so many troops directly obey him, and he can't leave.

If it is Tan Qian who adjusts civilian officials to control military generals, that also has shortcomings.

Tu Yuanyi was stumped by the question, perhaps because his strength was originally on Houjin's side, and Da Zhou had no one to resist the Jurchen iron cavalry.Although we can rely on firearms to win now, we don't have the handsome talent to grasp the overall situation.

He should really think about cultivating handsome talents in the future, but it's too late now.

Xing Xiuyan said: "I will transfer the First Army to go north, and transfer the Yellow Shirt Army to me. After we work together to win Siping, it will be up to you to fight and cover the Kanto."

"It's only been a month since our husband and wife reunion, I really can't bear it."

Xing Xiuyan said: "Our sons and daughters love each other, so we can't lose our heroism."

Tu Yuanyi suddenly said: "Then Weiguo is still in the Yellow Shirt Army. If he marches north to Siping, won't he want to attack thousands of miles? What if there is danger?"

Xing Xiuyan also felt sorry for her son, but said: "Back then, I could suffer, but why couldn't he? He is a dragon, a bug, a tiger, or a cat, just to see."

Tu Yuanyi seemed to be cut off, and said: "How can you be so cruel? What if something happens to you, what will you do?"

Xing Xiuyan frowned, and said: "This is his fate, Your Majesty, you love him so much, and you want to train him, but you often can't help but discount it. Although it is a loving father's heart, it can't be done like this. In the future, he will To take up his mission, it is his turn to protect others from the wind and rain. No one else does it for him like you. Or, do you think he is just an emperor who sits high and skillfully balances honors and civil servants? ?”

Tu Yuanyi, as a generation of Mingjun, his wife and children are his weakness, which is really a joke of fate.
