Chapter 270 Get rid of the army

The army of Huainan Jiangbei Province besieged Gaoyoufu and suffered a fiasco. In this battle, more than 100,000 people were killed or injured. The strength of the whole province was extremely empty.

Yu Que knew that it was difficult to stop Zhang Shicheng's army with the strength of the province alone, and this army was too powerful to report to the court and send a large army. Gaoyou Mansion is on the Caoyun Line. Now, Zhang Shicheng occupies Gaoyou Mansion, and the court will definitely attach great importance to it.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in the west, knew that the provincial army had returned from the defeat of Gaoyou Prefecture, and also began to move from Chuzhou to the south and captured Jiangpu. It is already across the river from Jiqing.

Zhang Yang is also secretly preparing. Although the battle has been won, he has also paid a certain amount of casualties. Lead bullets and gunpowder have been consumed in large quantities, and the base is stepping up production.

Since he has torn his face with Xingsheng, Zhang Yang no longer covered it up. He recruited troops again and doubled the team. The news of the victory of Gaoyoufu has spread all over the province. The people in many places are waiting for Zhang Yang to rescue them, fight the local tycoons, divide the fields, and live a better life. There are also many people who come to join the army.

Yangzhou City was trembling and waiting for Zhang Yang's army to attack.

Zhang Yang doesn't want to fight Yangzhou City. Now the most important thing is to grab the land and fight to the south of the Yangtze River. The first strategic place is Pingjiang.

The Pingjiang River is the granary of the whole Central Plains. After the Pingjiang River is laid, there can be a stable source of grain. With a large population, Pingjiang has a stable mass base.

However, there is a premise for everything, that is, the court will not send new troops here, otherwise, it will have to be under great pressure from the north. Liu Futong's Red Turban Army, under the siege of Li Siqi and Chahan Timur, has lost most of its combat effectiveness. If the court is willing, it can free up its hands to solve itself at any time.

At this time, the intelligence personnel deployed within the capital had received Zhang Yang's task through the carrier pigeon: to find out whether the tars showed signs of using troops.

If you want to find out the details of the imperial court, those intelligence personnel are not good at all. They can't contact the upper-level figures of the imperial court. However, there must be some preludes to the dispatch of the army, such as grain and fodder dispatch, the transfer of soldiers and horses, and they can also look at some clues.

If you want to get more valuable information, you don't have this ability for the time being. Although you can get close to the Princess Minmin, after all, she is a daughter's family. It is impossible to reveal the major events of the court to a woman, even his precious daughter. Besides, Minmin must be on her father's side.

Therefore, Zhang Yang sent people to secretly protect He Zhaoyi. Although she has done a good job in Dadu, once the news of her contact with her is known by the court, I'm afraid it will still be dangerous. At that time, if she knew that she had a connection with her, I'm afraid she wouldn't protect her. After all, she was a big trouble for the court.

Zhang Yang was right. The matter of Gaoyou Mansion spread to the court, which caused an uproar and led to a series of changes. The vast and huge thing of the Yuan Dynasty finally collapsed from prosperity to decline.

In the Jinluan Hall, there are already two rows of people standing at this moment. They are stiff and don't say a word.

Emperor Yuanshun sat on a high dragon chair, looked at the people below, and said, "After the Taishi pacify Xuzhou Sesame Li, the world is at peace. Why did such a big thing happen in Huainan Jiangbei Province?"

The ministers below are speechless, and the world is peaceful? Since the flood of the Yellow River, when has the world been peaceful? They didn't know how to answer the high-ranking emperor, as if the life of the four directions was very peaceful and not at all.

Before, I had to recruit An Zhang Shicheng and instructed the province to deal with it by myself. The court did not pay attention to the little Gangsi tooth of the Baiju Salt Farm at all. There were dozens of disturbances like that every year, and the court would not pay too much attention to it at all. However, I didn't expect that the other party had become the climate and occupied the Gaoyou Mansion!

Gaoyou Prefecture doesn't matter. Now, the Red Turban Army has occupied many cities, such as Yingzhou, Haozhou, Xuzhou, etc., but those places do not have much strategic value. And Gaoyou Mansion itself does not have much value. The key is that Gaoyou Mansion is next to Caoyun!

In this era, the transportation of goods depends on horse-drawn carriages, and the loss in the middle is very large. Once it rains and snows, it is impossible to walk, and the water transportation is obviously unlimited. The number of water transportation is large and the cost is very low. Therefore, the transportation is related to the foundation of the imperial court.

Especially in the north, and the grain production in the north is not enough to maintain its own consumption at all. The south is rich in grain production. The grain in the south has always been transported to the north by water. Otherwise, it goes without saying that the people, more than 200,000 defenders in most of the capital will have to starve in less than a month.

Occupying Gaoyou Mansion is equivalent to choked the neck of the court. Zhang Shicheng can cut off the transportation at any time and starve most of them to death.

This is absolutely intolerable to the court.

"Your Majesty," Hama, the envoy of the Xuanzheng Yuan, said, "If such a major mistake has been made in Huainan Jiangbei Province, Yu Que, the right prime minister of the province, should be immediately dismissed and investigated and new officials should be sent to take office."

Yu Que is an official who took office again after the implementation of the New Deal. As soon as Hama has a chance, he wants to replace these people and replace them with his confidants. The struggle between the two has been like water and fire. And this time, it is even more righteous.

When Emperor Yuanshun heard this, it was true. He saved such a big mistake and buried nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses there. He must treat Yu Que's crime!

"Your Majesty, you can't do it." Zuo Chengwu's ancient Sun Liangzhen hurriedly said, "Lord Yu Que has been doing his best in the province for the past few years. If it weren't for him, Guo Zixing's Red Turban Army would have been uncontrollable like Liu Futong. Lord Yu Que has made contributions to the court. Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Youcheng Wuliang also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it is too early for us to investigate the responsibility of the province. After the rebellion is eliminated, we will trace the responsibility of Lord Yu Que. Now, let's discuss how to solve the problem of Gaoyou Mansion. Gaoyou Mansion threatens the safety of Caoyun and must be solved as soon as possible. "

Wugu Sun Liangzhen and Wuliang Hatai were both promoted by Tuo Tuo Tuo. They knew that Yu Que was a capable person. Hama is now falling into the well, and the government was messed up by villains like Hama. When they heard Hama say that they wanted to treat Yu Que's crime, the two immediately stopped him.

Hearing the words of the two people, Emperor Shun's face softened a little, "Then let him make contributions. So, how can we solve the matter of Gaoyou Mansion?"

Now Hama doesn't say anything. It's okay to harm people in the court. If you really want to lead the army to fight, Hama is not so capable. Moreover, Hama is still waiting for the opportunity. He estimated that he would definitely go on an expedition.

Sure enough, he got out and said, "Your Majesty, Xiao Zhang Shicheng, I don't know the power of the imperial court. How dare to rebel in Gaoyou Mansion, detain the court officials, and be the enemy of the imperial court. His crime can be punished. The minister is willing to lead a million troops to personally conquer the Gaoyou Mansion!"

Taishi's detachment can be regarded as the highest official position among all people. He is a good product, a silver seal, with Taoist yin and yang, through the country, and commands all officials.

As the pillar of the imperial court, over the years, Tuo Tuo has worked hard to govern, repair the Yellow River, and change money to attract money. Not only in terms of civil rule, but also in terms of force, it has completely calmed the Red Turban Army. In the imperial court, Tuo is regarded as the red man of Emperor Shun.

Of course, compared with Hama, it is a little worse. It will not be as shameless as Hama. In order to please the emperor, he actually used the method of the silver palace to please the harem and disgusted the officials.

Hearing that Tuo Silang was going to make a personal expedition, Zuo Silang Zhongru Zhongbai immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, now the master has a lot of affairs in the court. For the sake of the small Gaoyou Mansion, it is not worth letting the master personally conquer. Otherwise, doesn't it show that there is no one in my court?"

Both Zuo Cheng and You Cheng hurriedly dissuaded them.

When he heard Ru Zhongbai's words, he was stunned. Ru Zhongbai was his best friend. He was afraid that he would have some worries if he opposed his own conscription.

Hama said, "Your Excellency can fight well, and this expedition will definitely return triumphantly."

He was in favor of getting out of the army, but he was against the head. The officials looked at each other in cons. Did the two make up? How is this possible?

"Dear you, although the detachment is busy now, it is more important to eliminate Zhang Shicheng, the traitor of Gaoyoufu. Autumn grain is coming down soon. If you can't destroy Zhang Shicheng before that and cut off the transportation by him, most of them will fall into the crisis of food shortage. With the afterglow power of sweeping the sesame Li, Master Tuo Tuo will definitely completely wipe out Zhang Shicheng!"

Hearing this sentence, Ru Zhongbai's face has turned white. Since the emperor has made a decree, he can't change it again. The only thing he can do is how to remedy it.

"I and the imperial teacher share the same care of the world. There are many reasons in the world. I worry about it and work at my own, and I will go to you." Although he came out of the Jinluan Hall, the emperor's words were still ringing in his ears.

Although there is turmoil everywhere, it is a firm belief that people will win! I will definitely be able to work hard to make the four parties peaceful.

Out of the hall, Ru Zhongbai followed him until he was outside the Meridian Gate, and whispered, "Master, please stay."

Looking back, seeing that it was Ru Zhongbai, he said with some displeasure, "Just now, why did you object to my personal expedition to Gaoyou Mansion? Are you afraid that I can't resurre Zhang Shicheng?

"Master, what the subordinates are worried about is not the outside, but the disaster of the wall!" Ru Zhongbai said earnestly.

Tuo Tuo heard that there was something in Ru Zhongbai's words. Ru Zhongbai pulled it out with one hand and was loyal to him. If he said so, there must be his reason.

"Where is this?" He asked. He said.

"Master, now, the whole dynasty is supported by the master alone. If the master leaves, who will handle all the government affairs?" You Zhongbai asked.

The so-called three princes and six ministers, the power of the imperial division is the greatest. Today's court, if it hadn't been for the detachment, the imperial court would have been depressed long ago.

What Ru Zhongbai is most worried about is to get rid of it. Hama will definitely jump out. When it comes to conspiracy and tricks, I'm afraid no one can beat Hama.

"This is simple. If I'm not here, I'll let you act as an agent first and deal with government affairs." Take it off and say it.

Also first Timur, who is Tou Timur's younger brother, the so-called war brothers, father and son soldiers, Dutou has made a plan, let him perform official duties on his behalf first.

However, compared with to get rid of it, it is simply a mediocre. Compared with the detachment, there is neither the concept of the overall situation nor the ability to lead the army.

When the Red Turban Army first revolted, the court sent several people to suppress it. On the contrary, they were all exterminated. They were very bold. They hit all the elite soldiers of the court and were ready to destroy all the Red Turban Army. However, they chose the wrong generals and let them lead the army first.

The incompetent one is the first, and he doesn't have the ability to lead the army, let alone command the battle. The 300,000 troops refused to leave when they walked to the Shahe River, but begged God to worship Buddha. Buddha did not bless him. One bombing camp only brought back 10,000 troops, and the rest were trampled on each other. It has become a miracle in the history of Chinese war. Such a "Hech Kung" is "created" by the strange general of Muer.

From then on, uprisings everywhere were out of control. Moreover, the more far-reaching impact is that the troops that were taken away first were all direct troops of the imperial court. Since then, the central government has fallen, and the suppression of bandits needs to raise its own troops and horses, and also focuses on the armed forces of landowners, such as Li Siqi, Chahan Timur, etc. In the end, the court lost its real power.

Later, Totout personally led the army, killed the sesame Li in Xuzhou, and severely hit the Red Turban Army, and the situation settled down.

is not bad at first, but it has no ability. Generally speaking, such a general is enough to shoot a hundred times. However, with the power of detachment, it was not punished at first, and it was also heavily used.

Compared with outsiders, he still believes in his own brother. However, this decision completely broke off, and also completely destroyed the Yuan Dynasty.

Hearing that Rang Ye acted as the agent of government affairs first, Ru Zhongbai made up his mind that even if he offended the master, he had to say something: "Master, do you think you can suppress Hama by relying on your master?"

"So you're worried about Hama?" Only then did he understand what Ru Zhongbai meant and said, "Although Hama has a little grudge against me, he won't make trouble at this juncture, will he? You think too much, don't you?

There is a grudge between Detach and Hama. It can be said that there is a great kindness and a great resentment. At the beginning, Hama resolutely walked in the Detachment camp. Detachment was exiled. Hama tried his best to get rid of the detachment. The detachment can be reused, and Hama also has a certain credit.

However, after resuming the phase, although he was deeply grateful to the Hama brothers, he promoted Hama to Zhongshu Youcheng. However, he was more dependent on Zuo Silang and Ru Zhongbai, which caused Hama's unhappiness. For other reasons, Tuo Tuo changed Hama as the envoy of the Xuanzheng House and ranked third, so Hama held a grudge against Tuo. In order to climb up, Hama began to bade to the queen Qi and the prince Ai You to know Li Da La, and by inducing Tuo Huan and Yin Le, he completely became the red man of Emperor Shun, which was vaguely opposed to Tuo Tuo.

However, Tou always stubbornly believes that although Hama is unscrupulous, he can still grasp this kind of big problem, right?

Ru Zhongbai doesn't think so. Now, Hama has regarded the escape as a thorn in his side. In the court, Hama is still afraid of three points. If Totoku leads the army to go on an expedition, Hama will definitely blow the wind in Emperor Shun's ear every day. If there are many times, Emperor Shun will definitely be suspicious. At that time, a piece of imperial edict will come down, and it will be troublesome. Although the army is in hand, Toutoku is a loyal minister. He will definitely not violate the imperial edict and can only end up miserable.

Stay away from the center of power, absolutely not.

Although Ru Zhongbai thinks so, it is not easy to persuade Tuo Tuo, because Tuo is the one who insists on going on an expedition. Extermination of Zhang Shicheng and restoring the safety of Caoyun is the issue that Tuo Tuo is more concerned about.

"Master, if you leave like this, Hama will definitely slander in the emperor's ear, and Hama is also slandering the queen and the prince. If you leave, something big will definitely happen!" Ru Zhongbai also risked his life and directly said the stake with Totout.

"In your opinion, what should I do?" Totou asked, although your Zhongbai's words are a little unpleasant, but since you are a Zhongbai, you naturally know that his knowledge is extraordinary.

"If the master insists on going, he must get rid of the Hama group before leaving." Ru Zhongbai said.

"Go and discuss this matter with me first!" He said, " I will appoint you as the governor and the imperial historian, and assist you first to deal with the things I have been doing these days.

Although he hates what Hama does, Tuo Tuo has not thought of getting rid of Hama. What the court needs most now is stability and unity. He doesn't want to make any disturbance before he leave.

Looking at the back of the detachment, there is a trace of chill from the bottom of your heart, the benevolence of the woman! No matter from what point of view, he is a person in the camp and the only one who is more sober. If you take it off, no one will be able to resist Hama. Hama, a grasshopper, will definitely make a big move!

Only when Hama is solved can the master leave at ease. However, Ru Zhongbai had no other way. He had to go and discuss it first. However, he didn't have any hope. Even the master didn't see the danger in it. How could he know it first?

Sure enough, I also read that Hama once had kindness to myself, and never let go of the problem of treating Hama.

There is no time to talk to Ru Zhongbai. The most important thing for him at present is to prepare troops.

The province gathered 150,000 troops and went to fight against Zhang Shicheng. As a result, the whole army was destroyed. Tuo Tuo learned about the process in detail and knew that the other party's firearms were sharp. Therefore, if you want to defeat the other party, you must start with weapons.

Return gun, crossbow bed, these equipment must be available. In addition, most of the firearms of the imperial court have also been transferred. The other party has a firearm, and he also has a firearm. The firearm is a firearm. If you don't believe it, you can't kill Zhang Shicheng.

In addition to weapons, it is personnel. If you get rid of your determination to encircle Zhang Shicheng, you must have a certain number of soldiers and horses. Tens of thousands of horses are transferred from most of them, and then some of the troops from each princes. Some of the provincial garrisons have also been transferred, and even some of the people and horses in the Western Regions of the Western Regions have been seconded to collect hundreds of thousands of troops. The army is known as one million.

Zhang Shicheng's army, but tens of thousands, millions of troops, must crush Zhang Shicheng to pieces!
