The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 347 The King's Blood Is Cold

Jiang Chuan doesn't care about the life and death of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, since the Ming Dynasty is about to perish, the death of the subjugated emperor is almost as good as death.

But now standing in his position, many times, when considering issues, one cannot simply consider them from a personal likes and dislikes or a military perspective, but from a political perspective.

In other words, the starting point for considering problems is often the perspective of interests, and how to do it to earn the most benefits is the correct approach.

Of course, this greatest benefit also has a certain scope, generally speaking, it refers to long-term benefits, rather than immediate petty profits.

Letting the emperor continue to live is more in Jiang Chuan's interest in the long run.

Before, Jiang Chuan was worried that if he held the emperor in his hands, he would use the banner of the emperor to win people's hearts and compete for fame.But when he needs to get rid of the worthless card of the emperor in the future, will his reputation be damaged and he will be scolded as a usurper.

But then Jiang Chuan figured it out, so let's just scold him. Since he has followed this principle, a little infamy is nothing.

History is always written by the victors.Winners and losers, as long as you become the one standing on top of the world, those curses will disappear, and the rest will be hymns.

There is a very Chinese saying: If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

Although the words are secondary, they also have some truth.

The road to the top is not only accompanied by blood and bones, but also countless slander and gossip will strike like arrows at any time.

I remember that there is a very pertinent sentence in the Great Qin Empire: "The blood of the royal family is cold."

If you want to climb to the top, you have to bear much more pressure than ordinary people.

To withstand these tremendous pressures, the heart must be hard, the blood must be cold, and the sword must be sharp. Only in this way can one possess the basic qualities of a climber.

The road of the king is not only a bumpy road accompanied by killings and intrigues, but also a road of self-cultivation and experience.

The road is long and long, and these are all things that must be experienced.

Therefore, from the perspective of maximizing benefits, the advantages of keeping the emperor alive outweigh the disadvantages.

As for whether tigers will be raised in the future, Jiang Chuan is actually not worried.The vast majority of people in this world are followers of power.

At that time, as long as the emperor is in his own hands, he will be a real puppet emperor.With the power in their own hands, those ministers would only know about Qin Wang Jiangchuan, and completely forget about the emperor.

After the world is stable, his subordinates will gather a large number of people who are attached to him.At that time, even if Jiang Chuan didn't want to go up, these people would hug him and go up.

Interest is always the longest and most terrifying thing.At that time, even if Jiang Chuan wanted the emperor to live, the people around him would not want the emperor to live.

When Jiang Chuan came back to his senses, he had already made a decision.

"The emperor has to live, and it is in our best interest for him to live."

Both Hu Zongxian and Di Qing showed a look of relief and admiration in their eyes.Seeing the rapid growth of this young protagonist, they are also very relieved in their hearts.

"My lord is wise. Now that my lord has made a decision, it will be easy. Now Li Zicheng's South Army has occupied Tianjin Wei. It is only three days from Tianjin Wei to the capital. And it is said that Li Zicheng's West Route Army has also moved from Hejian The government approached the capital.

At that time, two armies will besiege the capital.If our army set off overnight, the cavalry should be able to reach the capital before Li Zicheng's army besieged the capital, and fight against the rogue army together with the defenders of the capital.However, along the way, there will definitely be resistance from rogues. There are many variables, and no one can be sure whether they can arrive in time.So this is the worst policy. "

Hu Zongxian said slowly in a deep voice, and looked at Jiang Chuan with burning eyes after he finished speaking.

Without even thinking about it, Jiang Chuan said, "Say the right strategy."

Hu Zongxian smiled, and continued: "The middle strategy is also simple, that is, we first defeat Hao Yaoqi's 5 horses, and then wait for Li Zicheng to surround the capital, and then slowly force them over. When we are in the middle of the night, we attack the bandits from the outside, and cooperate with the defenders of the capital to break the siege of the capital. But then there will be a big battle, and our army of 13 horses will face Li Zicheng's army of more than 50. I am afraid it will not be too easy. "

Jiang Chuan pondered for a while and said, "Then what is the best policy?"

Hu Zongxian was not surprised, and continued: "The best strategy is to copy the rear and cut off its food and grass. Li Zicheng's army was copied and the food and grass were robbed. He must rush back to the division to rescue. At that time, the pressure on the capital will definitely decrease, and our army will be able to take the opportunity to relieve the siege. gone."

Jiang Chuan was silent after listening, got up and walked to the map to look at it.

Hu Zongxian also got up and walked over, picked up the baton next to him and said to the map: "Look, my lord, now that Li Zicheng's army of 50 is attacking the capital, the food and grass needed must be an extremely huge number.

If the minister's guess is not bad, Li Zicheng's food and grass must be in Jinan or Tianjin Wei.The fastest and most effective way to supply so much food and grass to the needs of 50 troops in a timely manner is to transport it by water.

From Jinan to the capital, the most convenient waterway is the Grand Canal.And Tianjin Wei is also on the key node of the canal, and it is only three days away from Beijing.

Therefore, I think that these two places are most likely where Li Zicheng's grain and grass are located, Jinan should be the big warehouse, and Tianjinwei should be the place of transshipment.

Therefore, if we can attack these two granaries, Li Zicheng's army must be in a panic. Then our army can take the opportunity to defeat them and break the siege of the capital. "

Jiang Chuan looked at the map and fell silent.He also thinks that Hu Zongxian's analysis is very reasonable.When the army goes out to fight, the place where the grain and grass are stored should not be too far away, nor should it be too close.

Too far and the supply may not be in time.Too close and vulnerable to enemy attacks.But also have to consider the issue of transportation and transportation convenience.Therefore, the two places Hu Zongxian mentioned are the most likely places.

However, in order to successfully attack Li Zicheng's food and grass, there are still two problems to be solved: first, it is necessary to confirm that Li Zicheng's food and grass are really in Jinan and Tianjin Wei.

The second is how to transport the army to these two places quickly and without anyone noticing.

The first problem is easy to solve, as long as Hao Yaoqi is defeated and a few prisoners are captured, he can be sure.

The second problem is more difficult, and the land route is obviously not feasible.Going this way, even if Li Zicheng's men were not attacked, it would take a lot of time, and their whereabouts would be exposed, so the so-called sneak attack would not be possible.

Since the land route is impassable, only the water route remains.

But if you want to go by water, you must have a navy, and you need a huge navy to meet the needs of transporting an army of tens of thousands.

But the reality is that I don't have a boat in my hand, not even a sampan.

It seems that it is really time to build a navy.

Jiang Chuan thought about it, and looked at the sea next to the Shanghai Customs on the map. There happened to be a small harbor here, which was very suitable for building a wharf.

　The third one arrives.Everyone give a few recommendation tickets, rewards, etc., which makes me feel that I am not writing stand-alone anymore.In addition, I would like to thank the brother who "crushes everything syq" and is also the first brother who came in from the book club.Three consecutive thousand rewards yesterday, thank you old cat!Tomorrow, we will continue to walk at three o'clock.
