Xia Xun smiled, and his expression suddenly stabilized. Zheng He knew clearly that at this moment, Xia Xun seemed to be a different person. The hesitation, hesitation, and worry about gains and losses that he had just shown slightly were suddenly forgotten. 】Zheng He has been waiting by Zhu Di's side. He is even more familiar with Emperor Yongle than the three princes. Xia Xun's current behavior is very similar to Zhu Di's attitude during the incident. No matter what he thought privately beforehand, Once something comes to a head, he doesn't think about anything else except going all out.
Zheng He put down his tea cup, slowly sat up straight, and his expression became serious.
"The governors-general of the five provinces for the suppression of Japanese invaders will be promoted to their posts, and all the guards will be called upon to report for advancement!"
"Commander Chu Zezheng of the Songmen Guards was ordered to report for duty and pay homage to the Lord!"
"The commander of Jinxiang Guard, Cao Lei, was ordered to report for duty and pay homage to the Lord!"
"Haimen Guards Commander Yang Qiuge was ordered to report for duty and pay homage to the Lord!"
"Commander Fang Shize of Dinghaiwei was ordered to report for duty and meet with the Lord of the Ministry!"
"Ren Juying, the deputy commander of the Shuangyu Guards, has been ordered to report for duty and pay homage to the Lord!"
"Han Nuo, the deputy commander of the Taicang Guards, has been ordered to report for duty and pay homage to the Lord!"
The commander of the Sixteenth Guards had all their armors in full, and they called in one by one. They stood to the left and right. In a short time, the hall was filled with Generals Jiujiu.
After the last person reported in, Xia Xun asked calmly: "Is everyone here?"
The generals rolled their names to report for admission, and the officers marked their names one by one on the Ying Mao register. When Xia Xun asked, the officer stood up after taking the case, clasped his fists and responded: "Go back to the headquarters, Sir, Guanhaiwei Commander Chang Xiwei arrive!"
There was an immediate commotion among the generals in the hall. Everyone knew that Shuangyu Guards had been framed. Xu Hu, the commander of Shuangyu Guards, was still recovering in Beijing. The person who was ordered to report was the deputy commander Ren Juying. And Shuangyu Guards was framed. The main reason was that Shuangyu Guards was framed. The participants are Taicang Guard and Guanhai Guard. Taicang Guard Commander Ji He and Du Commander Luo Yu died on Shuangyu Island at the same time. Now the deputy commander is also in charge of Taicang Guard.
Chang Xi, the commander of Guanhaiwei, was trying to frame his colleagues under serious suspicion, but because Luo Yu and Ji He died suddenly, he insisted on claiming that he was only under the command of Luo Du and had no knowledge of his conspiracy and escaped.
Even so, this problem has been formed. Now the auxiliary Duke Yang Xu has just taken office and summoned all the generals, but he is the only one who is late. Is this intentional? In the commander's hall, the generals did not dare to whisper to each other. But the exchange of glances and the slightly heavier breathing revealed everyone's thoughts.
Xia Xun smiled faintly. Guanhaiwei commanded Chang Xi to be late. He had expected it, because Chang Xi was late. It was his fault. The commander has not yet arrived, so the governor will first deploy the strategy for suppressing the Japanese to the generals. As for Guanhaiwei, we will talk about it later!"
As soon as Xia Xun said these words, contempt suddenly appeared on the faces of the generals. The last thing a warrior should do is to be a coward. The dignified Duke of the country and the governor of the five provinces were nothing more than this. The awe-inspiring mood of the generals became lighter. point.
Xia Xun acted as if nothing had happened and said loudly: "We are all warriors. We don't need to beat around the bush like others. Let's just get straight to the point. Suppress Japanese pirates. Suppress Japanese pirates. Since the early years of Taizu, we have been suppressing Japanese pirates. The more we suppress the Japanese, the more we suppress them. Now we are still talking about suppressing the Japanese. In fact, I think that is putting money on our own faces. Is that suppressing the Japanese? That is resisting the Japanese!"
Xia Xun pressed his hands on the commander's desk and said loudly: "One resists and the other suppresses. The difference between one word and one word is huge! The majestic Ming Dynasty and the mighty master have been reduced to the point where they can only resist. You are being attacked.
A bitch who is dying to resist?"
These words shocked all the generals. It was not because they were frightened, but because they were surprised. What the Duke said... How could he be so similar to these ruffians?
Xia Xun continued: "Are the Japanese pirates difficult to deal with? Yes, they are difficult to deal with and difficult to deal with! When I say difficult, I don't mean that my Ming Dynasty's soldiers cannot defeat those pirates. Our Ming Dynasty has only been in existence for more than thirty years.
The spirit of martial bravery is still there. When fighting, don't be afraid of the Japanese. So why are they so difficult to deal with? There are three reasons: First, the Japanese come from the sea, and the sea is thousands of miles away. It is impossible to guard against them. You can only commit thieves in a thousand days, but there is no reason to guard against thieves in a thousand days;
Second, the Japanese bought many scum, acted as their eyes and ears, informed the news, and even led the way for them, so they were very familiar with our territory of the Ming Dynasty, and there were many loopholes for them to take advantage of; third, the Japanese were greedy, and once they got benefits, many people would be shocked when they went back to talk about it.
If you are jealous, you will join the ranks of Japanese pirates one after another. If we kill a hundred Japanese today, we will attract a thousand Japanese when we turn back, and we will kill them all!"
What Xia Xun said was the truth. Although there were other reasons for the failure of the Japanese suppression, these three points were indeed the main reasons at that time. After hearing this, the senior officials felt a little more at ease, but Xia Xun gave them the pick first.
Clearing up their responsibilities made them even more contemptuous. Wouldn't it be better to use some gentle methods and say some nice words to coax the old men to fight for you? The martial arts people may have read few books, but they are very thoughtful, and no one is stupid.
, in this way, the hearts of military generals can be conquered, so who can’t be a commander?
Xia Xun continued: "I have been ordered to command the five provinces and work together to suppress the Japanese. I will start from these three aspects. The Japanese have ears and eyes, so I will attack their ears and eyes. I have already mobilized the Jinyi Guards to supervise the inspection and envoys in each province.
We must severely crack down on Japanese traitors. Once caught, we will punish them severely! Once the Japanese come ashore, they will become blind and deaf. They will not know where our soldiers are. If they go deeper, they will not even know the way back.
Since I can't guard against thieves for a thousand days, I will go out, attack the Japanese's lair, and destroy their lair! As far as I know, most of the Japanese pirate's boats are not much better than a bamboo raft, and they are purely for carrying people.
Things that cross the sea have very limited naval combat capabilities. The governor has received information that once a Japanese ship pounces on our Daming coast, each Japanese pirate will only bring three days of rations and three days of clean water. Their ships will not be able to carry more.
Are you arrogant to provide such supplies? But they succeed again and again! This time, I will let them see our power. The governor has already established an ocean-going navy. Now they are training to watch the sea and will patrol the sea soon.
, once a Japanese pirate is encountered, how can the Japanese pirate's ships be a match for our Ming navy due to their crudeness and lack of supplies?
If they are not allowed to exist on the sea, they will have to retreat to their nests and wait for an opportunity. At this time, the governor will command the warships to attack the mainland and take them with them to their nests. But! Listen to me clearly.
To do all this, there must be a prerequisite, that is, they cannot get ashore, and once they get ashore, they will have nowhere to hide! And this is the responsibility of the generals!"
Xia Xun glanced coldly at the dozen generals standing in front of him and said: "I do not need you to mobilize your troops to suppress the Japanese pirates. I will follow my generals to chase the Japanese pirates. I have already followed the instructions of the generals."
The garrison has been divided into defensive areas. Within each defense area, a multi-level defense system is formed by regiments and people from villages, towns, counties, and governments. Each defends its own place, performs its duties, and only focuses on defending against the enemy.
, regardless of the enemy's movements.
And you, the officers and soldiers of the guard station, are responsible for pursuing, encircling and annihilating the Japanese pirates in your respective defense areas. Now, from villages to towns, from towns to counties, and from counties to prefectures, horizontal and vertical interweaving message transmission has been established.
Like a giant spider, if there is any disturbance in one place, the news can be quickly transmitted to your guard post. Your responsibility is to pursue and annihilate the enemy within your own defense zone.
Once the Japanese pirates escape from your defense area, I don't need you to chase them. If you continue to chase them all the way, the entire defense system will be in chaos, and eventually it will evolve into the main force chasing behind the Japanese pirates, and they will lead them by the nose.
If the Japanese pirates escape into the defense areas of other guard posts, other guard posts will be responsible for the task of annihilation.
We cannot use the fastest speed to convey the news to all defense zones, and we cannot use the fastest speed to deploy our troops to the places where the Japanese pirates appear. Then, we will move locally and stay still as a whole. Wherever the Japanese pirates escape, we will move.
Get moving, I will make sure that the Japanese pirates will not be able to get supplies or grab anything anywhere, and they will not dare to stay or spend the night!
As long as they can't take advantage on land, they can be forced back to the sea! The sea is vast, and even if the governor's fleet is ten times larger, it will not be able to contain the Japanese pirates. But the Japanese pirates have so little drinking water.
and food, as long as they are forced to flee back to the sea, there is no need for us to pursue and intercept them, they will definitely have to flee back to their nest, where our fleet will be waiting for him!"
After Xia Xun finished speaking, he ordered: "Give the generals the map of the defense area designated by me!"
The official immediately took a stack of books from the desk and distributed them one by one to the heads of the guards.
Xia Xun added: "There are clear records on the defense areas you are responsible for. I suggest you clear the sixteen kill orders recorded above before clearing your own defense areas! Fight within your defense areas.
If you are brave and inflict serious damage on the enemy, you will be rewarded by the Japanese pirates. If you do not fight well, you can drive the Japanese pirates out of your defense area and prevent them from taking advantage of your defense area. You have no merit and no blame.
Supervisors do not punish! Those who do not fight effectively, neglect their duties, and allow Japanese pirates to attack cities and plunder villages and loot the people will be killed without mercy!"
In order to deal with this troublesome Japanese pirates, Xia Xun changed the habit of other generals to control the overall command of the entire army, completely delegated power, and came to fight independently. But he fought independently by dividing detailed areas and clarifying his merits and demerits.
Everyone has their own responsibility. In fact, what he is doing is a "fragmented responsibility system."
Under the communication conditions and maneuver efficiency at that time, if he played a game of chess, he would definitely follow in Qiu Fu's footsteps and fail again. But with this method, he didn't even need to consider whether there was any personal rift between the guards in eastern Zhejiang and himself.
Grudges, powers and responsibilities are all decomposed and delegated. Unless someone has a sworn hatred against him and is willing to risk his life to drag him down, otherwise he must cheer up and fight with all his strength to fight for himself!
Xia Xun slowly glanced at the crowd and said: "As the old saying goes, God is there when people are doing it! I don't know whether God is there or not. God can't tell me even if he sees it, so... I myself! Ben
The governor has passed the chief envoys of the five provinces to inform the people of all parties that if you are in your own defense area, fear the enemy and fight timidly or have any other thoughts, which will cause disaster to the people, whether it is the state, county, or village officials,
, or the common people of the country, as long as a complaint comes to me, the accused general will please take care of the funeral affairs first, and then come to see the governor's royal command flag and Shangfang sword. I am in charge of killing and not burying!"
As soon as these murderous words were uttered, the generals felt their hearts tremble. At this moment, the military flag came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Guanhaiwei Chang Xi wants to see you!"
Hey, I built this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to pass by here, leave a ticket. If your tooth is broken, you will not say anything. I will kill you and not bury it!_
