Lord of the House

Vol 11 Chapter 12: Parliamentarian

On the fifth day of the eighth lunar month, Lin Fucai summoned people from various towns in Qianyuan, just as Liu Tingzhou and others had expected in advance, the discussion was about the use of troops in Jiangxi.

"Chizhou is narrow and the soldiers are thin, and the road to the west is dangerous. It is difficult to use troops in Jiangzhou after the autumn..."

Lin Fu sat high in the hall, and the civil and military officials sat in two rows. Deng Yu sat at the bottom of Liu Tingzhou, and he naturally evaded Lin Fu's urging Chizhou to use military affairs against Jiangxi.

Deng Yu took out a letter from his arms, and then said: "The embarrassment of Chizhou, Governor Yue has made it clear in the letter, please check it out..."

"Everywhere is complaining about this difficulty, that difficulty, if there is any problem, I will ask this hospital to solve it for you. What do you need everyone to do?" Lin Fu said dissatisfiedly, and asked Deng Yu to take Yue Lengqiu's letter. He handed the case to him, opened it and read it. The more he looked, the more he frowned, and finally he threw the letter aside impatiently and said, "When Mr. Yue was the governor of Jianghuai, this court exclusively ruled Chongzhou, and did not have the first county governor. Dividing money and grain, and controlling the East Sea bandits alone in the territory, is the situation in Chongzhou better than today's Chizhou?"

Liu Tingzhou and others sat down in the hall, thinking that Lin Fu did not forget the fact that Yue Lengqiu put on small shoes for him back then, and now that Feng Shui turns around, there is no need to say it so bluntly...

Deng Yu looked embarrassed, Lin Fu wanted to turn over the old account with Yue Lengqiu, how should he answer?

"Does Chizhou have any plans to use troops?" Lin Bie asked Deng Yu, leaning on the table, "Tanzhou has been fighting the Zhejiang-Fujian rebels for three months; Jinghu has also heavily armed Chen Yu in Ezhou, advancing from the west wing to Jiangjiang. State, divide the worries of Tanzhou, and Chizhou’s troops and horses are stagnant, can it be that after Jinghu and Tanzhou have taken Jiangzhou down, they will ask Chizhou to send troops to take it?”

Although Jinghu Lake and Xianghu Lake are generally separated by the Yangtze River, they are located in Jinkou, Ezhou and other places on the south bank of Yangzijiang River and at the northern foot of Luoxiao Mountains. , are attached to the North Shore. The border between Jiangxi and Xianghu Lake is mostly a passage between the middle and southern foot of Luoxiao Mountains and the northern foot of Nanling Mountains. From Yuzhang up the Ganjiang River, it is Yuanzhou. From Yuanzhou westward, passing through Luxi, it will reach Tanzhou. Eastern border.

After Shewenzhuang led the remnants to return to Jiangzhou, he ordered the traitor Huang Binghao to lead his troops westward from Yuanzhou to Xiangtan, which put great pressure on Tanzhou, which was not strong at all. The battle was evenly matched for the time being, and there was no winner or loser.

Even if the She family had Yang Xiong attached, the actual naval power was not strong. At the same time, they had to deal with the downstream water camps in Chizhou and Huaidong. Apart from guarding the mouth of Poyang Lake, they were unable to go westward and control the upper reaches of Ezhou and Jiangxia.

After Emperor Yongxing returned to Jiangning, Jiangning changed his policy toward the Cao family. In early March, he sent envoys to Guanzhong and appointed Cao Yiqu as the governor of Chuanqin. This was regarded as acquiescence to the fact that the Cao family was separated from the east of Sichuan and decided to join Cao Kangyan.

The Cao family was also overwhelmed by the Yan soldiers who were calling from the northwest. They wished to stop fighting with Jiangning. In addition to the above list of pleas, they also asked Jiangning to send the supervisory censors to station in Liangchuan and Guanzhong as a sign of Recognize Jiangning's legal system.

The urgent situation of defending eastern Sichuan on the west line of Jinghu has eased, so more troops can be used for other areas.

Although Luo Xiancheng was always the biggest threat facing Jinghu, but when the luxury family invaded Jiangningli, Luo Xiancheng did not dare to do anything. Of course, it's more likely that Luo Xiancheng didn't have time to take any action, but in the eyes of Jinghu Hu Wenmu, Luo Xiancheng's threat is much smaller than the threat of the luxury family entering Ezhou and Jiangxia from Jiangzhou.

Since March, Hu Wenmu has focused on strengthening the defenses of the east line of Ezhou and Jiangxia in Jinghu.

Today, on the periphery of Jiangxi, there are troops and horses from Huaidong Headquarters bordering Jiangxi from the direction of Shangrao at the southern foot of Yishan Mountain, Tanzhou bordering Jiangxi from the direction of Luxi at the southern foot of Luoxiaoling, and Jinghu bordering Jiangxi from the direction of Ezhou at the northern foot of Luoxiaoling. , Chizhou borders Jiangxi from the northern foot of Yishan Mountain, Jiuzi Mountain, and all three parties have to take action against Jiangxi, but Chizhou is the only one who still stands still-Lin Fu's tone is so severe and merciless.

Although Deng Yu's qualifications are old, in front of Lin Fu, who is young, powerful, powerful, and has outstanding military achievements, his face flushed with embarrassment, and he couldn't refute even a word.

Don't watch Yue Duming complaining constantly behind his back, he really came to the capital to discuss matters, shrinking there, he really didn't have the courage to stand up to help Deng Yu and openly challenge Lin Fu...

In this military meeting, people from Chizhou, Jinghu, Nanyang, and Huaixi were sent over. Lin Bing said that Jinghu was pulled over and hit Chizhou - Liu Tingzhou coughed lightly and said, "The situation in Chizhou is indeed better than that of Jinghu. It is much more embarrassing, and it is difficult to pose a threat to Jiangzhou. Hasty use of troops will actually lead to harm; if we lose, the barrier to the west of Jiangning will be blocked by Huaidong troops and horses, which is not a good thing..."

Liu Tingzhou spoke for Deng Yu, and Lin Fu would not find it strange. He said, "If you have difficulties, you can mention them, but you can't just show them and complain to Jiang Ning? There will be no difficulties in Jinghu, and there will be no difficulties in Tanzhou? Shouzhou? With Nanyang, which family has a better life? Now that the total plate of money and food that the Ministry of Household has drawn to the Privy Council is so big, and a nest of porridge is divided equally, no one will work seriously. Just a little more points, whoever does a bad job, then don't occupy the dungeon! If Huaixi can drive away the three remnants of Chen Han from the northeastern foothills of Huaishan this year, the extra 200,000 to 300,000 taels of silver is well deserved. , but the total plate is so big, and Huaixi has too much, so there must be some places to get less, so everyone can probably understand what to do?"

Hearing this, Deng Yu's face flushed like a pig's liver, and he said angrily, "This is a big injustice to Chizhou!"

"What's wrong?" Lin Bie asked.

"Jing, Tan, Shou, and Nanyang all have people under their rule, and if they lose their soldiers, they can recruit Ding Zhuang to supplement them. However, under the rule of Chizhou, the courage of the people is less than 10,000 people. No need to add, where is the lasting plan?" Deng Yu argued.

"Then if you call Peng Ze and Duchang, you won't have the turf, and you won't have the governance of the people?" Lin Fu asked.

"Before you win, you must first consider defeat, which is the right way to use troops. If you want Chizhou to send troops to fight Jiangzhou, you can also; Yicheng and Chizhou stand on the river, and they need to be placed under the rule of Chizhou. The state intercepted in Duchang and Peng Ze, and tampered with its empty space..." Deng Yu said, laying out the conditions for Chizhou to send troops.

Yicheng is the Anqing of later generations. It is located at the southern foot of Huaishan Mountain. It is connected to Luzhou in the east and Jichun, the western footpath of Huaishan Mountain from Suizhou to the west. Anqing and Chizhou are located on the river, with Jiuzi Mountain and Yishan Mountain in the south, Huaishan Mountain and Tianzhu Mountain in the north, and it is the key point to control the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Compared with Chizhou, which has many mountains and few fields, narrow terrain and steep hills and mountains, Anqing is located at the southern foot of Huaishan Mountain, with relatively open terrain and a large population.

The reason Deng Yu said does exist. The mountains of Chizhou are steep and dangerous, standing between the river, and the passage to the west is very dangerous and narrow. The She family in Pengze can block the opening out of Chizhou in the west with only a small amount of troops, and go to the north bank and go west along the southern foot of Huaishan Mountain. From Yang to Yicheng, then to Suwei and Huangmei, you can go directly to the opposite bank of Jiangzhou City, you can bypass the defense lines established by the luxury family in Pengze and Duchang, and cross the river from Huangmei to directly attack Jiangzhou...

"Yicheng may be placed under Chizhou," Lin Fu said, rubbing his chin. "As for what General Deng said, Chizhou is scarce, and even the civilians are not enough to requisition. There are more than 20,000 villages in Luzhou, and Chizhou can be moved to it. If the city is suitable, the money and grain can be raised by an additional 100,000, but Deng Yu dares to issue a military order on behalf of Chizhou, and will use troops against Jiangzhou in the autumn?"

"Chizhou is still short of iron materials. If you can pull an extra 200,000 kilograms of iron, you will wait for Chizhou to issue a military order!" Deng Yu said decisively.

"Don't lie to this hospital!" Lin Fu stared at Deng Yu.

"The last will not dare." Deng Yu said.

"Then Jing Tie and Mao Tie will each allocate 100,000 jin to Chizhou," Lin Fu said. "This court does not want you to represent Chizhou with any military orders. Everyone can testify. It will be limited to the end of October, and Chizhou has not been seen at the end of October. Action, the materials that are allocated more today will be double deducted by this hospital in the coming year!"

Yuan Jinsheng asked Liu Tingzhou in a low voice, "Why is the privy envoy willing to move the people of Luzhou to Yishiyi City?"

"When the emperor returned to Jiangning, there were people abandoned in the nest!" Liu Tingzhou whispered.

Yuan Jinsheng suddenly realized.

Emperor Yongxing abandoned Jiangning to patrol Huaixi. Although he stayed in Juchao for more than a month, the time was not long, but it caused great damage to the production around Juchao. At that time, there were more than 100,000 troops and civilians in Jiangning who followed the emperor westward to Lushan Mountain, and they had no food and grass to prepare, so they could only survive by looting the countryside. In the end, only a few of these people were able to return to Jiangning. About 30,000 imperial battalions were moved to Huaixi and Chizhou respectively at that time for digestion. In the end, nearly 40,000 soldiers and civilians, including thousands of palace servants, stayed in Luzhou. placement.

In addition to this, before and after the war in Jiangning, including the later eradication of peripheral prefectures, counties and mountainous areas, nearly 40,000 rebels, rebels, and mobs who took advantage of the chaos and riots were severely suppressed.

Suppression is not simply killing and killing everyone, it is more about servitude for hard labor.

There are so many, about 80,000 to 90,000 people.

The things that are easy to digest and that Huaidong is willing to digest are mostly people with small families. These people can generally settle down when they settle down. Whether it is farming or recruiting soldiers, they can do their best.

Those floating people, vagabonds, deserters, if they want to reform well, the time and cost are extremely high. If they are placed in the place, they will even cause a nuisance. Since Chizhou is clamoring for the lack of manpower, it will be packaged and given to them.

Chizhou is also too short of Ding Zhuang, and even the soldiers and civilians are not enough to fight the war. At this time, they are not qualified to pick fat and thin with Huaidong. Deng Yu could not help but agree to Yue Lengqiu's condition that Yicheng could be included in Chizhou, and 20,000 to 30,000 households could be relocated from Luzhou to fill Yicheng's household.

Yuan Jinsheng thought that Huaidong's abacus was really good, thinking that it was already August, and after just over two months, Chizhou would have to use troops against Jiangzhou.

After the Shejia occupied Jiangxi, although it occupied the Poyang Lake Plain, but the five roads were attacked by the enemy, and after the autumn, all five roads were fighting, can the Shejia easily survive?

What was Hu Wenmu thinking in his heart? Could it be that he really longed for the extermination of the She family to Huaidong?

Huang Binghao led his troops westward from Luxi, and Tanzhou was forced to fight; Chizhou did not have the strength to delay or not fight at this time, and the mountains on the other side of Jinghu were far away, and the situation was completely different. Furthermore, Hu Wenmu has been operating Jinghu for a long time. He controls Jingzhou, Jiangxia, Ezhou and other places. The area is vertical and horizontal, and it is half the county. Hu Wenmu is not worried that Huaidong will seize the military power in the hands of the vassals after the peace of Jiangxi and Fujian?

Yuan Jinsheng was thinking about ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ today's discussion was over, and Lin Fu didn't want to invite everyone to stay for a banquet, so he told them to go back to the inn to rest.

After everyone retreated, Lin Bing rubbed his forehead and shouted a headache, saying, "This Gui Laozi is really not good to be the secret envoy. It's better to just command Huaidong's soldiers and horses, like an arm and a finger..." Asking Cong Jiangning specially came here Gao Zongting and Song Fu, who participated in this military meeting, said, "Zongting and Song Gong, do you think Chizhou will fight Jiangzhou in the autumn, how much will there be a real fight?"

"From Yicheng to the west, Huangmei County is Wu's head, Chuwei and Jingyang's throat, and it is across the river from Jiangzhou, the old county of Xunyang," Gao Zongting said, "If Yue Lengqiu wants to control Yicheng, it must be The terrain at the southern foot of Huaishan Mountain is complete only if it is based on Huangmei in the west. In the past, the counties at the southern foot of Huaishan Mountain were beaten to pieces by bandits, and the dykes along the river were destroyed. It is difficult to settle the people. It is difficult for us to take into account the past for a while, and after the She family retreated to Jiangzhou at the beginning of the year, they were not able to reach out to the north bank. How could it be possible to give up Huangmei on the other side of Jiangzhou to Yue Lengqiu?"

"It doesn't matter how many points you can really fight," Song Fu said, "Yue Lengqiu and Hu Wenmu are on the left and right of Jiangzhou, and the She family's soldiers and horses staying in Jiangzhou to defend will not dare to be small. After the autumn, you can fight in Shangrao. The main force of the Changshan Army should also be transferred..."

As long as there are no stalemate wars in other places, a small number of troops and horses will be left in Luzhou and Yijiang, and there are 30,000 forbidden troops guarding the city in Jiangning, I am not afraid that Huaixi and Yue Lengqiu will have different opinions - we need Huaixi and Yue Lengqiu. If there is any change in Leng Qiu, it is too late to transfer troops from Xuzhou or to withdraw the main troops and horses from the southern line from western Zhejiang.

The principle of warfare boils down to one point, which is to concentrate superior forces.

Lin Bie nodded and agreed with Song Fu's suggestion. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
