Chapter five hundred and sixtieth plan to grab food
When Zhong Jinwei heard that Emperor Chongzhen had misunderstood, he quickly explained: "No, I thought that those bow ships will set off next year, so I thought about requisitioning them when the new army is training. The sailors on those bow ships are good, and the ships
Driving fast and steady.”
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately laughed. It turned out that he was being sensitive.
Wen Tiren also smiled and explained to Zhong Jinwei: "Time waits for no one, so we decided to let them go first. As long as they don't go to the extreme north, there won't be a big problem."
Zhong Jinwei nodded. He had confidence in the people on the three-bow ship. They were all experienced at sea all year round. If they were careful, there should be no problem.
However, he also thought of a problem and reported to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, you have decided to recruit the new army to carry out sabotage before the grain harvest in Liaodong, exacerbating the shortage of money and food for the captives, and training the new army at the same time. I just thought of it
There is a problem, the plan may need to change."
As soon as he got down to business, Emperor Chongzhen straightened up immediately, looked at Zhong Jinwei and asked: "How to change?"
"The coastline of Denglai is long enough, and the Jianlu cannot be defended no matter what. As long as the new army is used as the main force of the attack, and with the cooperation of Denglai's friendly forces, it should be no problem to teach the Jianlu a heavy lesson. But before that,
We need intelligence support to decide when and where to strike."
After listening to Zhong Jinwei's words, Emperor Chongzhen was a little confused about what the problem Zhong Jinwei was talking about. His brows were slightly wrinkled as usual, and his nose was slightly flared, and he asked Zhong Jinwei: "Master Zhong has asked Governor Denglai to do this."
Is it done?”
Zhong Jinwei immediately replied with a smile: "Your Majesty has a good memory! However, Jiutai passed the news to the capital. If the New Army sets out again, some of the news may be invalid. After all, there is a sea route to the coast of Liaodong, and the New Army has expanded and the team is larger.
, the action will be slower than before.”
Emperor Chongzhen thought it made sense after hearing this. He immediately asked: "Master Zhong wants to go there in advance?"
Zhong Jinwei nodded and replied: "Yes, go there in advance so that you can respond in time if there is any situation. In addition, you can also run in with friendly troops to avoid accidents on the battlefield."
Emperor Chongzhen already agreed in his heart, but he still habitually asked the Minister of War who was present: "Yang Qing, what do you think?"
Yang He had already made up his mind. As long as Marquis Zhongxing didn't say something that was obviously a bad idea, he would not oppose it. Now when Emperor Chongzhen asked him, he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I think Marquis Zhongxing is such a bad idea."
You have mastered the art of war!"
Zhong Jinwei listened on the side and felt a little embarrassed. He was so impressed by the art of war that he could even become a military strategist!
Emperor Chongzhen nodded there, because with the endorsement of Zhong Jinwei's past achievements, he deeply agreed with Yang He's words.
He never thought that Zhong Jinwei had never fought in a war in later generations. After coming to the Ming Dynasty, he won a few battles based on his knowledge of history and his understanding of the enemies and characters of this period, relying on famous generals, and luck.
However, there is no denying that Zhong Jinwei himself is studying very hard. He usually studies military books, consults Sun Chengzong and others, plus some experience from later generations, and now has actual combat experience. He does have a good command of the military.
.
"In this case, Master Zhong will go to Denglai first. I hope Master Zhong can give me a surprise!" Emperor Chongzhen looked at Zhong Jinwei and said hopefully.
At this time, Wen Tiren reminded from the side: "Your Majesty, it is inconvenient to contact you, so it is better to grant Marquis Zhongxing the power to make arbitrary decisions when the situation arises."
Emperor Chongzhen smiled after hearing this and said: "Wen Qing is right." Then he told Zhong Jinwei: "Master Zhong, it is best to go here to make great contributions, otherwise you will put your own safety first. Even if I don't think about the Ming Dynasty, I will do it for you.
For the sake of your unborn child, you must not take any risks."
When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he was moved in his heart. At this time, Emperor Chongzhen made him feel that he was not a superior emperor, but more like a deeply affectionate gay friend. Oh, that was wrong, a friend.
"I will definitely come back safely. I haven't become a father yet!"
Zhong Jinwei's words made several people in the Wenhua Hall laugh out loud, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
Therefore, in the next few days, Zhong Jinwei began to arrange for the new army to go to Denglai. He secretly thought that this time he passed unexpectedly, he must give a severe blow to the Jianlu during the autumn harvest, at least to
Recover the cost of training.
At this time, the slave chief Huang Taiji also had a plan with Zhong Jinwei and was beginning to plan to steal grain from the Ming Dynasty.
Because the land in Liaodong is still as dry as before, the harvest is not very good. But even if the harvest is good, Huang Taiji will still go to the Ming Dynasty to rob.
At this time, he did not know that the envoy Ma Guangyuan sent to Japan happened to be bumped into by the Ming Dynasty envoy Sun Chuanting and was killed.
Huang Taiji didn't worry about the alliance with Japan. It was just a casual move on his part. It would be best if it worked, but if it didn't, he didn't really care because the possibility of success was very small.
At present, what he is most concerned about is how to make a fortune in the Ming Dynasty by taking advantage of the heavy losses suffered by the Ming army in Denglai.
Huang Taiji sat alone in Chongzheng Hall, thought for a long time, and suddenly sighed.
He found that the destruction of Shanxi merchants had a huge impact on him, or in other words, on Daikin. In the past, if he had any plans, he would just ask Shanxi merchants directly and get relevant information.
But now, Huang Taiji still wants to take a detour to Mongolia to rob the Ming Dynasty, but he has a dark eye on the situation in the Ming Dynasty. Dajin has already broken through the Ming Dynasty's Zunhua line once, and the Ming Dynasty should be on guard. If Dajin
If we take a detour again, whether we can break through is a question.
If those Shanxi merchants were still there, Huang Taiji would know that even if the Ming Dynasty was on guard, he would know the extent of the defense, so as to measure the cost of breaking through the Ming defense line.
Even if the front line of Zunhua cannot be attacked again, is it possible to go around a little further? This also requires the support of intelligence, otherwise it is impossible to hit it first with a blind eye.
Huang Taiji became irritable as he thought about it. Regardless of his fat body, he stood up and started pacing in the hall.
As a result, although the sweat was rolling down, it did not help him come up with any good ideas.
Huang Taiji had no choice but to send an order for Fan Wencheng to come see him.
But he didn't expect that before his decree came out of the palace, he heard the announcement that Fan Wencheng had come to ask for an audience.
Feeling puzzled, Huang Taiji sent an order to summon him.
I saw Fan Wencheng entering the palace with great joy. As soon as he entered the palace, he clapped his two horse-hoove sleeves, knelt down on the ground with a "plop" and said with a charming smile: "Congratulations, master, congratulations, master, what a joy!"
When Huang Taiji saw it, Fan Wencheng aroused his curiosity. He quickly asked: "You slave, you have no stability at all. Where does your happiness come from?"
