Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

Li Huan's face suddenly collapsed.

"It's okay, I heard from my mother that I will leave the palace in a few days and go back to the mansion. When the time comes, I will follow and let my grandfather get it for us."

The youngest was in high spirits, looking at the surprised brothers and younger brothers, his face was full of excitement, this was a rare highlight moment for him.

"Really!"

Li Huan rushed over and hugged Li Jin: "Sir, are you leaving the palace?"

The other two princes also looked at the third child with envy.

The little kids were messing around without any scruples, and the Wu Xun civil servant who was walking at the end couldn't help but take a look. When they saw the kid playing around, they couldn't help it. He glanced at the emperor, then silently followed the emperor into the Qianqing Palace.

Different from the layout of Qianqing Palace in the past, today's Qianqing Palace has completely changed its appearance.

The map of military situation hangs high, and the military situation sand tables below clearly reveal the topography of various strategic locations. In the hall, military planes and staff officers move around, inserting battle flags representing Daheng and the enemy on each sand table.

Looking around, the entire Qianqing Palace hall has completely changed its appearance.

Chapter 543

In such a scene, the generals of martial arts were obviously used to it, and they went to each sand table map without waiting for the emperor's order.

It was the first time for a group of ministers to participate in Daheng's military council, and they didn't know if there would be any taboos due to the experience of the former Ming Dynasty, so none of them moved arbitrarily.

"This military meeting is mainly to discuss the suppression of hypocrisy."

"The General Staff has prepared a strategic plan. Let's take a look at it first. If you have any objections, you can raise them at any time."

The emperor waved his hand, and a first-class military staff officer walked up to the map, first bowed to the emperor, and then bowed to the civil servants and generals present.

"According to His Majesty's instructions, the fundamental principle of this battle to put down hypocrisy in the south is to attack from the south and defend from the north."

"That is to say, the major border towns in northern Xinjiang are shrinking their defenses, focusing on stability..."

"According to His Majesty's instructions, the General Staff..."

This military aircraft staff officer talked eloquently, using the most popular language, as well as extremely detailed data and intelligence in all aspects, and slowly and orderly told each strategic plan.

Although there are multiple sub-plans, each plan is based on the strategy of attacking south and defending north set by the emperor. The only difference lies in the changes in the details of the tactics.

All the martial arts generals put aside their usual laziness and listened intently.

To be able to stand in this Qianqing Palace, which general is not experienced in hundreds of battles, has experienced countless life and death, soldiers are not normal, and any negligence may lead to fatal consequences.

Every plan mentioned today may be the final implementation strategy, and they, generals who have fought many battles, naturally dare not slack off.

As for the civil servants, although this military meeting is different from the military meetings they presided over in the past, the general direction is similar. The only difference may be the small details.

But with the in-depth explanation of the military staff's report, the civil servants really discovered the difference between professional and non-professional.

The military staff officers who were gradually promoted from the bottom of the various ministries clearly knew more about the army than the civil servants sitting in court. All the civil servants who listened to the extremely detailed data couldn't help but feel a little startled.

Details down to single-digit troop strength, rations, and ordnance, as well as predictions of various battle situations, defenses, and even marching speeds, etc., and even false troop deployments, who is the commander of the army, what are the factions behind them, troop data, rations, etc. wait……

Everything is clear!

Several ministers who are familiar with military matters seem to have their eyes brightened. With such extremely detailed data and an almost one-way transparent intelligence system, it doesn't matter who the commander-in-chief is in such a war. , advancing step by step with a majestic momentum, with such sufficient preparation, they really can't imagine where they might lose!

"To sum up, the General Staff believes that the navy must occupy the dominance of the sea at the beginning of the war. Otherwise, the false rebels may flee overseas and cause serious trouble!"

When the last sentence of the military staff officer fell, the civil servants who had never asked a question, finally someone said: "Then what if the fake Ming fled in the direction of Yunnan and Guizhou?"

The Son of Heaven got up, and without waiting for the military staff officer to answer, he said, "It's okay, all the vassal states in the direction of Yunnan and Guizhou are duplicitous, and Burma and other countries bordering Yunnan and Guizhou have already sent secret envoys to Beijing..."

After finishing speaking, the emperor looked at the ministers and said, "The battle of Pingnan focuses on maintaining stability and governance."

"Every time the army regains a place, it must ensure the peace of the place!"

"The reform policy must also be implemented as soon as possible!"

"In this regard, the cabinet must prepare in advance!"

"The recovered land will be under military control first, and after it is stabilized, it will be handed over to county officials in various places..."

Speaking of this, the emperor didn't wait for the cabinet's response, so he said in a deep voice: "This time to put down hypocrisy, the overall strategy is like this. If you have any objections, this military discussion, speak freely!"

"But once the military council makes a resolution, it will be implemented unconditionally, and no objection will be allowed!"

"Wei Chen understands!"

"I will understand at the end!"

All the generals and ministers responded quickly, and immediately, one by one was picking on the problem around the strategic plan prepared by the General Staff.

The emperor did not participate in it, but just listened silently.

Up to now, Daheng's military administration has already formed factions, and there are some intricate connections between each faction.

Although these interest relations have not spread to the people on a large scale at present, it is doomed only by the complexity of the rights system. Anything will involve the interests of all parties, and the interests of all parties must be considered in order to maintain overall stability.

And a war, still such a large-scale war, and the long "security war" after the war, involved hundreds of thousands of troops, and indirectly involved officials and civilians, it is even more difficult to count, and each faction will have its own demands .

For example, the most basic... military exploits, where is it easy to get military exploits, who will go, each item is enough to make all the martial arts quarrel!

He is not willing to ask his emperor to participate in such a thankless thing.

As for the process in the middle, as long as it doesn't exceed the bottom line, then he only cares about the final result.

In the midst of the turmoil, at the beginning, the civil servants could still get in the conversation, but as time went by, it completely became the home field of the martial arts. One by one rolled up their sleeves and argued with foul language. If the emperor was not still there, I am afraid It has long been staged into a full martial arts.

The civil servants could only barely speak a word or two on matters involving themselves and the court, and then they were soon marginalized again.

In such a scene, all the ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing whether to be sad or happy.

But no matter what, this time, they at least participated in the military discussion, understood the entire strategic arrangement, and had the right to speak. Compared with the past, this seemed to be a huge improvement.

Amidst such debates, this military discussion lasted for a whole day. From the first sunrise of the morning sun to the sunset on the western mountain, all the civil servants and generals still had a meal in the palace at noon, satiated and continued to fight. .

But fortunately, this strategic decision was barely finalized in the end.

"Damn, a bunch of bastards, they only know how to eat fat!"

"Bullshit, there's fat everywhere, it's all fucking tough!"

"Fart, why don't you give Fujian to me to beat you!"

"Damn, if you get cheap, you'll still be good!"

Compared with when they came, the martial arts were happy and harmonious, but when they left, the martial arts seemed to be divided into several teams, with clear divisions, and they looked like they were incompatible, and they scolded each other as they walked.

All the civil servants, but Shi Shiran walked behind, and it was a scene of joy and harmony, especially when seeing all the military officials cursing and a few ministers, they couldn't hide their smiles.

The Son of Heaven, on the other hand, looked relieved, and after a day of quarreling, his ears were almost deaf.

……

Chapter 544 is much better than life and death!

April 21st in the fourth year of Zhaowu.

Following the will of the emperor, the Daheng military system, which had been silent for nearly two years, started to function again.

The three armies have not moved, food and grass go first, no matter what era it is, this sentence is the most logical of military strategists.

Although this battle, in the eyes of the emperor, is an inevitable battle, but the preparations made in advance will naturally happen.

Bullock carts loaded with military equipment, food and grass traveled from the North Canal to Tongzhou, and were escorted down the canal by naval warships.

Finally, they stopped along the wharf, and the fully loaded military equipment, food and grass were also transported around the canal to various places along the river, making early preparations.

Or, go out to the north and transport a large amount of military equipment, food and grass to the major border towns.

At the same time, the car team led by the two princes has already patrolled the northern and southern borders, making the most basic preparations for the war.

Even though the Son of Heaven had never made a big move, it was naturally impossible to completely hide such a formation.

The news that Daheng was going to send troops was quickly detected by the North and South agents. This news also swept north and south at an unprecedented speed.

This kind of action made Lin Danhan, who had been swearing so much, a little uncertain. Although it seemed that Daheng was planning to put down Nanming, who knew whether Daheng would make a sudden attack, and when he rushed to the gun, Come on a horse stepping on the grassland!

Under such hesitation, Lin Danhan, who was originally planning to gather all the Mongolian ministries to go south, hesitated again and became entangled.

In this way, it was hard for Dorgon and Azig who were holding all kinds of small thoughts. The main force of Mongolia did not move, and they couldn't escape if they wanted to.

But in the northern border of Daheng, what we are facing is the encirclement and suppression of iron cavalry in various towns. Although the strategy of attacking from the south and accepting from the north has been implemented, facing this solitary post-gold remnant army, the border towns obviously have nothing to do. psychological pressure.

Under such circumstances, the living environment of this post-gold remnant army in the gap between Daheng and Mongolia is not bad!

In Nanming, it seems that because of the confrontation between Northern Xinjiang and Houjin, in the Nanming court, there were even remarks asserting that Daheng would not go south, saying that Daheng would not be able to go south if he did not solve the great trouble in Mongolia...

Such remarks have actually attracted many people to agree with them, making the already chaotic Nanming Dynasty Hall even more chaotic and incomprehensible.

In Penghu, Zheng Zhilong stood on the fort, holding a telescope and looking around the vast sea area. Finally, through the telescope, Zheng Zhilong fixed on the faint warships in the sky.

In this sea area, apart from Zheng Zhilong's ship, there are only Nanming court ships and Daheng's Jiangnan navy.

With just a cursory glance, Zheng Zhilong made a judgment. Obviously, it was another sentinel ship of the Daheng Jiangnan Navy.

"The imperial court is arguing again. At this time, some people say that Daheng will not go south..."

"What time is it? It's still noisy. I really have to wait until the Daheng Iron Cavalry breaks through Quanzhou and kills them all, then I will know that I was wrong!"

Holding the information from Quanzhou, Zheng Zhihu couldn't help but curse.

"The Denglai navy has joined the Jiangnan navy. According to our spies, the Ningbo shipyard has been expanded. The Denglai shipyard is still building warships day and night..."

Zheng Zhilong put down the binoculars, and said solemnly: "Now the two naval forces of Daheng have converged, and the overall strength is already stronger than ours and the imperial navy combined!"

"In another year or so, there may be no place for us to survive on this sea!"

Zheng Zhihu's expression also became serious, and after a while, he said: "At that time, we will not have many choices!"

"Or, just follow the Ming court to the end, but Nan Juyi has been eyeing us all the time, and Li Dingguo is not a vegetarian..."

"Or, go back to Taiwan, but if Daheng pacifies Jiangnan, with the current financial and taxation of Ningbo Port, Daheng will definitely set foot overseas. Taiwan is so close to Penghu, we..."

Zheng Zhihu analyzed it carefully, but Zheng Zhilong's expression became more serious. These things, these days, he has thought about them countless times, and they are almost unsolvable problems!

To keep the sea area, Daming must keep the one-third of an acre of land in the south of the Yangtze River, and if Daming can have such strength, then his Zheng family, either, will completely submit to Daming and let those officials fiddle with it, or, I am afraid it will face Daming. crusade.

Judging from the current situation, Da Ming obviously does not have such strength. After the Daheng Iron Cavalry goes south and breaks through Nanming, they will definitely look at him, the remnant of the Ming Dynasty...

Besides, it's not that Daheng doesn't have a navy, and it's not that it can't control the sea!

In the past few years, he has almost watched the Daheng Navy grow by leaps and bounds!

Today's Ningbo Port is home to the two major naval divisions of Daheng. There are hundreds of large warships, and there are countless small and medium-sized warships!

Li Dingguo, who is in command of these two naval divisions, is also an extremely difficult opponent. He has repeatedly beaten him with weakness, and took the opportunity to divide him again and again. Not to mention, the trend of strength and weakness has changed now!

Not to mention the threat on land, even the threat on the sea made him stabbed like a light, and he couldn't sleep or eat!

As for retreating to Taiwan...

When the navy cannot win, retreating to Taiwan is just waiting for death!

With all kinds of thoughts flowing, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help sighing. He shouldn't have been involved in this mess at the beginning. This kind of national trend is not something that a small role like him can participate in.

Honestly, it is operating in Taiwan, no matter who it is, it is always necessary to win him over, why is it so difficult now!

This time, it was really a miscalculation. Maybe the whole Zheng family will get involved!

"My lord, they are coming!"

Before Zheng Zhilong could think clearly, the shout of the lookout sentry came to Zheng Zhilong's ears clearly.

Subconsciously, Zheng Zhilong picked up the binoculars, and through the binoculars, he could clearly see a small warship flying the Daheng battle flag, sailing towards them quickly, and the semaphore of the soldiers on the warship's observation post was also clearly visible.

"My lord, they said they want to see you!"

The soldiers at the lookout post shouted again.

Zheng Zhihu immediately warned: "Brother, I'm afraid this is Li Dingguo's plan to alienate again. We can not only be stationed here in Penghu, we can't let them come over!"

At this moment, Zheng Zhilong rarely made a decision, but became silent.

Did he follow Daming to overthrow, or...

The battle between heaven and man is only a moment away, and Zheng Zhilong has made a decision. After so many years of hard work overseas, it is his instinct to seek good fortune and avoid evil!

"You arrange it yourself, let them come here, don't let Nan Juyi notice!"

Zheng Zhihu couldn't believe it: "Brother!"

Zheng Zhilong looked at Zheng Zhilong without any fluctuation: "Do you want the foundation we have worked so hard to be buried with Daming?"

"Can……"
