660 The Hidden Worries of the Western Front War
After Zhang Zhifa finished speaking, Xu Guangqi, the Minister of Rites, frowned slightly. Before Emperor Chongzhen could speak, he first replied: "Your Majesty, I think it is better to listen to the advice of Governor Denglai or the most appropriate one. After all, he is the party involved in the war!"
Upon hearing this, the assistant minister Xue Guoguan immediately stepped out and said, "I will discuss it!"
Other ministers also thought Xu Guangqi's suggestion was good and agreed.
Emperor Chongzhen was no exception. After asking Liu Xingzuo, he said in public: "Lu Zhongcheng thought that the new army was very strong, comparable to the army under General Qi back then. If he only defended the city, even if Jianlu attacked several times, he should be able to hold on!"
When they heard this evaluation, the important officials in the palace were surprised again. The new army, which they had always thought that the emperor was just playing, was actually praised by Governor Denglai, which was amazing!
"Your Majesty, since Lu Zhongcheng said so, I think that you can do it as planned and make it worse for Jianlu to make things worse. It is a blessing for my Ming Dynasty!" The chief assistant Wen Tiren immediately said after sighing a little.
Hearing this, other ministers agreed. Seeing that, Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Revenue, secretly complained in his heart, but there was no way.
At this moment, Liu Xingzuo said again: "Your Majesty, Lu Zhongcheng suggested that with food, in winter, the Cavalry Camp can be left on the island. Even if Jianlu attacks, it can be transferred quickly and can still seize the opportunity to support the new army in Gaizhou."
Sun Chengzong was silently listening to the words of Cao Huachun, and at this time he also passed through Cao Huachun's mouth, indicating that the Guanning Cavalry could also be prepared to attack, and if Gaizhou was in danger, he could also harass Jianlu.
If the support of these two reinforcements was in the past, it would definitely not be possible. But now with the communication of chat groups, what happened in Gaizhou can be transmitted in real time to the two peripheral cavalrymen, so that they can support Gaizhou effectively.
At this moment, even Bi Ziyan believed that the Gaizhou war should be basically no problem. He was like Wen Tiren, knowing how powerful it would be for the Ming Dynasty to do something worse than the injury to Jianlu, so he also agreed to carry out the Gaizhou war as planned.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw that all the ministers in Wenhua Hall reached an agreement, he smiled and said, "Okay, then it will be carried out according to the original plan. The rewards for the Korean War this time, all the officials can discuss it first, and when the news of the victory reaches the capital, they will be officially announced."
Such a great victory, of course, we need to reward merit and promote it well. Naturally, the ministers agreed immediately without saying a word.
When these ministers were looking at the temple, Emperor Chongzhen's smile suddenly froze on his face.
Only then did he remember this matter, but he didn't ask the person involved Cao Bianjiao. It would be fine if he forgot it, but none of the ministers below remembered it? Or maybe they didn't have this idea at all?
Emperor Chongzhen remembered that one of the plans he had set was to help both civil and military personnel and improve the status of military generals. Forget this time, I will discuss the military next time. I will ask relevant military generals, such as those from the Five Army Governor's Office, to call them, even if I don't speak, I have to show my presence. This matter must be guided by myself!
After missing an opportunity, he felt a little unhappy, so he entered the chat group and watched the chat members. Seeing that the members in Jiangnan seemed to be discussing Zhou Yanru's affairs, he was a little surprised why he had just returned to Beijing.
Haha, this is a catfish. I will ask him to find something for you first, and wait and see the situation later, and then how to deal with you!
Emperor Chongzhen thought so, so he clicked on Lu Ruipeng's icon and asked how he was preparing for the war on the grassland?
After a while, Lu Ruipeng relayed Hong Chengchou's reply: "Your Majesty, our army is currently gathering, but there is a problem. Bu Shitu's camp is not fixed. The places I discovered before have no trace. Now a large number of people are sent to investigate the west at night."
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he frowned. The Mongols were not good at this and had no place to live! If they could not find Bu Shitu’s camp in time, it would probably be in trouble for Hong Chengchou.
If the goal is not clear, the army cannot attack. If the army does not attack, the army will consume a lot of supplies every day of the additional gathering. For the current Ming Dynasty and the current Hetao area, there is no capital to consume willfully!
When Emperor Chongzhen thought of this, he immediately asked: "How long will the army be able to gather together? Is there any place for Bu Shitu?"
"Return to your Majesty, Governor Hong said that the army assembly should be completed in about six days. The location of Bu Shitu's camp, from some signs and clues, is very likely to move westward again and approach Dulbert's troops. Governor Hong speculated that it might be that Bu Shitu was afraid of being retaliated by my Ming Dynasty and fled westward, or to discuss alliances against my Ming Dynasty."
Lu Ruipeng's retelling made Emperor Chongzhen even more worried about the Western Front War. According to the current situation, he was a little worried that the original Western Front War could not be achieved, and it is very likely that one might not be done well and it would become an alliance between the Ming Dynasty against several Mongolian tribes in the west! If this is the case, it is really hard to say what kind of situation the Western Front will eventually evolve into!
After all, the focus of the Ming Dynasty is Liaodong at the moment. Whether it is the elite army or the supply of materials, the army on the enemy side will be given priority. Once the Western Front is broken into pieces, the situation where the Ming Dynasty's northern front has just improved is likely to become more severe.
Just as he was thinking, Lu Ruipeng sent another private chat message: "Your Majesty, Governor Hong thought that if Bu Shitu had the inside of my Ming Dynasty, I could provide detailed military information, and before other tribes reacted, they could give Bu Shitu a thunder strike to wipe out their troops, destroy the source of the turmoil in the west, and at the same time shock other tribes."
"..." Emperor Chongzhen was speechless. Hong Chengchou's meaning was like that of Guihua City again, right? But there is no one in Bu Shitu in my chat group at present!
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but try it out and add some people to try it. He looked at the achievement value in the lower left corner of the chat group, with 4562 points.
The capital has a population of more than one million. If each person can contribute at least five or six points, it will have more than five million achievements worth more. Now I have not even made 500,000 points. It seems that I still have to wait in the capital. When the achievements are less in the future, I have to inspect the world.
Now that the achievement value is enough, let’s add some people first! I hope this chat group system was really developed by the emperors and Han dynasties in later generations. Emperor Chongzhen thought in his mind, so he clicked the add button to start adding people.
Chapter completed!
