444 On the Northern Defense
The final decision was made, and the Right Army continued to move forward slowly. The telegram ended and began to calculate. It would be enough to arrive at Erennur in seven days, and give enough time to persuade him to surrender.
Yu Qian passed his worries to the capital.
Yesen was there. Since he asked his best son to threaten the three guards of Duoyan and the Jurchen tribe to send troops, it means that he is likely to take the way of attacking the east and the west. This is likely to be difficult to understand! Of course, it is not ruled out that he will fight back to the east and the route.
"This year, the Watshu people will definitely go south."
Yu Qian analyzed the current information and believed that since the main force of Watshu did not know where to go, it means that there must be a big move. Bai Minghe said at this time: "Will they go directly to Shaanxi and Gansu Guard?"
"The caravan is OK, but it is not easy to leave if that desert army is not easy. I have also considered that they will attack Hami Guards, but this is unlikely. Hami Guards have no value worth taking action, and there are heavy troops there, so it is a tough bone to dare to go."
Yu Qian was not worried about Hami Guard, and the guard general chosen there was definitely a god-killing level.
If we compare a general at the moment, Mao Wenhu is student-level compared to this person.
None of the people who can guard the important areas of the border are not cruel enough.
"Where is Yinchuan? Just walk from Helan Mountain!" Bai Minghe asked again.
Yu Qian nodded: "This is possible, but it is likely to be a feint. I have been studying the Watts for more than ten years. Why did their army go out to spend the winter food and the wealth of our Ming Dynasty." Yu Qian stopped here and looked back at the telegraph machine over there.
The telegram has stopped and the final order has been confirmed.
Yu Qian signaled to go back to the small account, the Central Army tent here is not a place for chatting.
After leaving the central army's tent, Yu Qiancai continued to preach: "The troops dispatched at one time, plus the logistics consumption of Watts is huge. If you return without success, the Watts will make the most helpless choice just like the Huns back then, which is to solve the problem by the old and weak and disabled, and leave the hope of life to the living."
These white-famous cranes have learned in the history of later generations, and nodded after hearing Yu Qian's speech.
Yu Qian asked Bai Minghe: "You said that you can completely solve the problem of thorns in ten years. What do you think?"
Yu Qian's question was not asked out of thin air.
Since Chinese history, the agricultural civilization has not truly completely destroyed the nomadic civilization. This is not a confrontation between the two kingdoms, but a collision between the two civilizations.
The history of Baiminghe is not well learned, or it can be said to be very poor. However, he has read this part and sorted out the language and said: "Nomadic peoples are wolves. If they can beat them, they will go up and run away. Once they are defeated, they will be like refugees. They will quickly escape with horses, and it is almost impossible to wipe out the entire body."
Yu Qian nodded and agreed with Bai Minghe's statement.
"Starting from a very ancient point, our Chinese civilization first started to be active in Shanxi, Henan, and Shaanxi. The Chiyou, who defeated the Dongyi, only expanded his survival. But after the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and after the Xia Dynasty, I remember that the Shang Dynasty was established by the Dongyi tribe and ruled China. It really made the Dongyi tribe disappear. It took Qi to destroy a small country called it. It took thousands of years."
Yu Qian added to Bai Minghe: "It was Qi who destroyed Ju. You have really studied a lot."
Yu Qian is not ridiculing, but really praising. This kind of ancient history is carefully studied and not many people read it. There are even fewer people of the age of Baiminghe.
Bai Minghe smiled: "For thousands of years, the territory of our Han people has increased to Hebei, Shandong, northern Jiangsu and other places. It has been hundreds of years since Bashu, and the Han Dynasty was only nominal rule. Three times of clothing and transiting south, then there were Han people in Jiangnan, but there was not enough land. There was still no way to survive with enough output."
"You really know a lot."
"To the north, nomadic peoples come to grab food when the autumn is high and the horses are fat. Time and time again, from the Huns to now, more than a thousand years, why do we say we can't do anything to them? Because the desert and the desert are forbidden areas for farming, and there is no living space for the people, even if we kill in a few times, we can't shake the foundation."
Bai Minghe's words made Yu Qian very recognized.
"They are playing mobile warfare, we are playing position warfare. This..." Bai Minghe shook his head with a wry smile.
"Good words!" Yu Qian praised loudly. Then he asked, "So, what about your solution?"
"The one who grows rice is the field, and the one who grows gold is also the field. This is my method!" Bai Minghe's words may not be able to understand them, but Yu Qian also understood them a little, such as the salt field economy in Hamiwei, where various minerals such as saltpeter are produced, which can be regarded as fields, which can make people live for a long time and slowly form cities.
So, can the white crane make the desert form a city?
When Yu Qian mentioned this question, Bai Minghe said: "From the north, there are still fertile fields. If you wrap the desert, can they still make a big splash?"
"The consumption is huge, I'm afraid there will be objections in the court!"
"Master Yu, defending the country is not about doing business, so it is not worth it. If they are calculating such small accounts, a group of corrupt scholars should go overseas to harm the Japanese. Don't be embarrassed in the Ming Dynasty."
Bai Minghe's words made Yu Qian frown. This was too radical, but I couldn't find out where Bai Minghe's mistake was.
Finally, Yu Qian changed the topic: "Tomorrow, let the vanguard move south 200 miles, and the left vanguard approaches the Helan Mountains to see. The opponent's detailed attack should not be too much. The same old saying goes, they did not get enough food and supplies for one time, and this time they sent troops was a failure, so they would not choose a poor place, and the capital was the first choice.
Seeing that Bai Minghe was still confused, Yu Qian explained: "The small amount of the twatts may raid other places outside the capital. The combat power of the border town has been strengthened. If you can't defend against the small amount of the twatts, you will be engaged in military law!"
As the commander of the central army, Yu Qian was a must-have style.
But the others were not like this. The three vanguard battalions of the front army were already a little impatient, and the Wassar people went there. Luo Tong was bold and went forward fifty miles further than Yu Qian's request for the march error. The scout's spread range increased by another thirty miles, and at least the tail of the Wassar people had to touch.
The commander of the Right Army was not impatient. He thought of taking possession and then talking about it. Every time he arrived at a land of abundant water and plants, he left half of the soldiers in the battalion, and then left a Tianyin Camp team every four hundred miles, taking steps forward, just seeking stability. At least if the tile sects really encountered it, he would just fight.
In the capital, the old generals continued to analyze various information in the Palace of Yingwu, trying to find the possible location of the Watshu people.
This must not be a waste of time for the Ming Dynasty.
If only a few hundred thorns were killed, and no one could explain it to the world when they came back, would a million troops be published and returned to nothing? This is probably a huge joke. What is the significance of the crime of the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen?
In the cabinet, Jin Lian made a ruthless move: "Everyone, isn't it just one million stones of grain a month? I heard from Bai Minghe that Siam had agreed to give five million stones of rice and transport it back enough for half a year. Let the merchants increase production and prepare 100,000 sets of cotton coats. Even if they reach the ice field, they will catch them first."
"Not that pessimistic!" Hu Yi responded slowly.
Here, several of them are old ministers of all dynasties, and they have enough experience in dealing with the Wassai people.
The theory that people would die if they didn’t have enough food that winter was moved out again. Hu Yi said again: “Last year, Baiminghe encouraged the three towns to take ruthless measures and set the Hetao. He forced the Watao people to go south last year. It is estimated that there will be no fewer people who died, so it is impossible not to remain unmoved this year.”
"Dear seniors." Shang Lu was young, so he naturally called the rest of the people.
"Getting the common sense of long live, I became the last member of the cabinet. When it comes to Watshu, I think that Watshu may have some major actions. If there is no war, there is no need to make the eastern grassland empty, and there is no possibility of giving up the high-powered son Yesheng to threaten and lure the three guards of Duoyan, and the Jurchen troops will attack first."
"It's reasonable, and I'll treat these people as pawns first."
Wang Wen’s meaning can be understood in modern terms, which is cannon fodder.
"So, where are the thorns?" Takaya also asked.
"The Wuying Palace is a pillar of the country. There are several people who even have more qualifications than you and me. They are constantly calculating. We are not familiar with the military and believe they will find the one who can find the one who can be stabbed. On the contrary, I want to suggest that the imperial hospital send someone to take care of him. Don't hurt a senior for state affairs, but it is not good." Hu Yi said it reasonably.
But how the people in the Imperial Hospital take care of this details are not what they worry about.
Whether it is the East Factory or the Internal Officer, there are ways to verify whether an imperial physician is reliable and whether it will leak secrets.
The cabinet jointly wrote a proposal, which was not a formal document, but an ordinary suggestion. When we were about to send it in, Shang Lu asked: "Would you like to ask if you have read this memorial?"
When it comes to this memorial, all the cabinet members have almost the same expression and are bitter.
As a result, the ministers of the cabinet unanimously decided to only mention the suggestions of taking care of the old general this time, and not mention the memorial, and do not urge them. This memorial has already made the thirteen ministers of the cabinet have nightmares that are difficult for the thirteen ministers of the cabinet. Now, if you have any opinions on urging the Ming Dynasty, you are not happy at all.
In fact, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was really a little crazy in his study.
Because he encountered a troublesome thing, the cabinet could not even give his opinion. He had read the memorial for more than ten times. The more he read it, the more he felt extremely embarrassed.
With reason, law, and emotion. This memorial is full of contradictions and conflicts, because this impeachment document from the Hanzhong Prefecture and the people of Jinzhou. This people are not ordinary people, including old ministers who have retired, as well as local gentry. They are not ordinary poor ordinary people.
One prefecture and one prefecture impeached a prefect, one prefect, and two governors! It’s amazing. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
