On the 22nd day of the first lunar month of the second year of Xuande, Lu Xi and Zhu Yong's central army tent sounded loudly, and dozens of armored generals lined up to enter the tent one by one.
Zhu Yong had completed the preliminary preparations for the war against the Miao people. Nearly 6,000 soldiers sharpened their knives and rode their horses, preparing to advance eastward.
Zhu Yong is bound to win this battle.
His 6,000 people in Luxi, plus more than 2,000 defenders in Chenzhou Prefecture City and Longtou Temple, actually invested nearly 10,000 people in this battle, and the number of troops was no less than that of the Miao rebels.
However, the official army has a high armor and equipment rate, excellent weapons, equipped with a large number of heavy weapons and firearms, and its combat effectiveness is significantly higher than the young civil rebels who had just emerged from remote mountains and regions. The equipment and complete organizational system of the official army basically make up for the insufficient training of the garrison and the high escape rate has led to the reduction of the number of troops that can be mobilized in various places.
Zhu Yong asked someone to hang a large picture in the center. Although the drawing was relatively rough, such a picture was enough for his way of deploying troops.
After many days of discussions between his staff and generals, he had formulated a combat plan, and today he summoned the generals to start mobilizing troops; and he had written the plan into a document and submitted it to the Ministry of War.
Basically, the troops were divided into six groups and spread out from north to south, approaching east to drive away the Miao people.
If the Miao people gathered various troops in Chenzhou, the official army would also gather six groups of troops to fight head-on with the Miao people. On the relatively flat battlefield of Chenzhou, Zhu Yong was 100% sure to defeat the Miao army head-on; if the Miao people were unwilling to fight to the decisive battle, they would be divided and dispersed and constantly squeezed eastward. The east was the Dongting Lake area, with the Han people densely packed towns, and the more the Miao army ran there, the more they would run westward. Perhaps they would have to lose most of their troops on the way, and this result was exactly Zhu Yong's expectation.
The drums stopped, and dozens of military generals were already standing on both sides of the tent. When Zhu Yong walked up to the top in a grand manner, the generals knelt down on one knee and bowed to Cheng Guogong with fists.
Zhu Yong said, "Disclaimer," and sat upright in the seat of the general with his head held high. His face was red and he was in good spirits.
The generals all felt the belief that the main general Zhu Yong would win, and everyone was very angry.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the eunuch Cao Shan hurried in, followed by a eunuch he had never seen before.
The new eunuch had an ugly face, sharp mouth, monkey cheeks, and different sizes on both sides of the left and right eyes, which was very ugly.
Zhu Yong felt badly in his heart when he saw this. This eunuch seemed to be the person next to Wang Gou'er, the chief of the Sili Supervisor. Why did he come to Huguang?
Cao Shan bowed his hands and bowed his head and whispered a few words next to him.Zhu Yong's face was unwilling, but he still stood up and said: All the generals will come after a moment.
Then he stood with his confidant staff and two eunuchs, who were standing on one side, went to the back.The generals looked at each other and had to wait.
Behind the big tent, Cao Shan introduced the new ugly eunuch to Zhu Yong: This is the eunuch Wang Zhen, who is in charge of the Silijian.Wang Zhen had an ugly face, and his etiquette was not bad.
It turned out to be Eunuch Wang, I should have seen him when I was in the capital.Zhu Yong's words are not all polite words. They have seen ugly people, but it is indeed easy to leave an impression if they are so ugly.
Wang Zhen said: Duke Cheng raised his tent. Are you planning to send troops to fight the Miao people?Fortunately, I came quickly. If it was one or two days late, and when Duke Cheng’s clear code was dispatched, wouldn’t it be a big deal?
Zhu Yong frowned and asked: How do you say this?How to be bad?
Wang Zhen said: Didn’t the emperor send Eunuch Cao to accompany the army?When Duke Cheng fought in Huguang this time, he mainly dealt with the Jianwen Rebellion, followed by the Miao people's rebellion. Isn't it easy to have clear primary and secondary?Why is it like this now? The Jianwen Rebellion occupied three prefectures and counties, and was swaggering in the prefectures and county governments; and the large-scale member of Duke Cheng Guo was actually among the Miao people. Why is this?
Although Zhu Yong did not want to shout at the eunuch, he looked down on him from the bottom of his heart. When he heard Wang Zhen questioning himself, he felt unhappy. However, considering that he might be speaking for the emperor, Zhu Yong swallowed his breath and explained with a kind word: There are only a few hundred soldiers in the rebellion. I have sent deputy general Qin Yousheng to transfer the guards of Yuezhou Prefecture to attack; and Chenzhou Prefecture is surrounded by the Miao army, and as the general officer, I have to save the entire planning details. Besides, I have asked someone to write a document to submit it to the Governor's Office of the Five Army and the Ministry of War.
When did you report it?If Eunuch Cao had not reported this matter in time, the emperor would not know the situation in Huguang.If Duke Cheng and the Miao people fight, when will this battle be fought?Should we sit down and watch the riots grow?
Wang Zhen’s tone was not good at speaking.
When Zhu Yong heard this, he knew that Cao Shan had already reported it and looked at this guy with annoyance.
I thought Cao Shan, a fat and fat eunuch, was more pleasing to the eyes than other castrated people, but I didn't expect that he was like a crow in the world.
Cao Shan was glared at him without defending him, but instead looked apologetic...
For a moment, Duke Cheng felt a little relieved.
Duke Cheng's feelings towards Wang Zhen were getting worse and worse. He was usually very polite to the civil servants and eunuchs of the dynasty, but it did not mean that the people who were Duke were inferior to those.
He immediately asked: What is the emperor's will? Eunuch Wang and Eunuch have an imperial edict?
After hearing this, Wang Zhen sneered and said in a low voice: Duke Cheng Guo also said just now that Chenzhou Prefecture was surrounded and could not be rescued. If the troops were withdrawn from Luxi, the officials and civilians of Chenzhou Prefecture would have to scold someone to vent their anger... Could it be that Duke Cheng Guo's intention? This infamy must be borne by the emperor?
Zhu Yong suddenly said something, but unexpectedly, the ugly eunuch opened his mouth very well, and he was stunned and speechless.
He didn't know that Wang Zhen was originally a student before he entered the palace. He was very particular about the essays and was perhaps more experienced than Duke Cheng, who had been through many battles, and he specialized in his profession.
After Wang Zhen said this, Zhu Yong could no longer ask him for the imperial edict.People don’t even have oral orders to pass on, that’s what it means, you can do it.
Not only did Zhu Yong have no choice, but even the literati and aides beside him were helpless for a while. To put it bluntly, this is what it means: Duke Cheng must give up the fat meat he has to mouth and go north to beat mosquitoes; and he must bear the reputation of not being able to save him when he is dead, or find someone else to take the blame. Anyway, it cannot be the emperor's intention...
The question is, if the military power is in the hands of Zhu Yong, where can we find someone to take the blame?
Wang Zhendao: When Duke Cheng took over the position of General General of Wuling, he already knew what the main and secondary were. Now that this is the case, you can do it.You are the pillar of the country that the emperor trusts and uses. You should have understood the importance of it for a long time... Since you are a sensible person, we don’t want to say it if there are too many.
Zhu Yong didn’t understand the emperor’s thoughts: the Miao people came out of the mountainous areas in western Huguang. What can they do to conquer Chenzhou?
But there are countless Chenzhou in the world; and the Jianwen Rebellion's purpose of launching a military rebellion was obvious, which was to seize the country.
So the severity of Wang Zhen’s suggestion is nothing more than this.
well.
Zhu Yong sighed inadvertently with a slight disappointment. Anyone who fights the war to this point will have to waste all his efforts, you can imagine how depressed you feel.
He said casually, although wars in the world have been everywhere, there have not been any major chaos. There are only a few hundred riots. In the blink of an eye, we may look down on them too much.
Wang Zhen's tone was a little sarcastic: In the eyes of famous generals like you, fighting is like playing chess, is it more interesting to meet opponents?But national affairs are not a game of chess. Why wait until others grow strong enough to meet the opponent before they can compete with each other?
……
Zhu Yong had already prepared the war in Huguang, but had to stop it; while the main force of the imperial court in Xuzhou was also prepared for the war. The difference is that no one has the power to stop the war here.
According to the suggestion of British Duke Zhang Fu, the strategy of the imperial government army was to take Huaian Prefecture first and then Yangzhou.
Many people used the elite combat effectiveness and military strength of the Beijing camp as a basis for the suggestion of the battles in the two places to save time.
But Emperor Zhu Zhanji denied the suggestions of most people and insisted on issuing orders to attack Huai'an Prefecture.
Zhu Zhanji is good at following advice, but he is definitely not a person who follows others and has no opinion.
When he was handling memorials in the army, he found that someone had written a letter to suggest the strategy of taking two places, believing that this was a waste of his office time and asked him to spend a lot of time on meaningless nonsense. He immediately approved on a memorial: The official was demoted to three levels.
He only wants to implement his intentions in this way, but does not want to clearly explain his ideas: it would be bad if the emperor's mind was seen through.
He made two considerations for making such a decision: First, the King of Han occupied Nanjing, and this war was no longer able to be decided quickly, and it was not very meaningful to divide the troops to attack to save time; Second, the Battle of Huai'an was the first large-scale confrontation between the court army and the King of Han army. He not only demanded victory, but also wanted to show off his momentum and gain an advantage and initiative in public opinion.
War itself is not an end, it is another high need.
When famous generals Zhang Fuzhi proposed a pertinent war strategy, Zhu Zhanji needed to have his own greater considerations and let those wise combat strategies serve him, rather than just following the advice of famous generals, just how to win a battle.
Zhu Zhanji read the reports sent by officials from various departments, and his attention was almost all about the upcoming Battle of Huai'an.
But during the break of drinking tea, I felt relaxed and my attention was distracted, and some chaotic thoughts flashed through my mind, including the quelling rebellion in Huguang.
At the beginning, he planned to ask the Ministry of War to send people to supervise, but Wang Gou'er suggested that Chenzhou was besieged and suddenly issued an order to withdraw troops and recruit local officials and people.
Zhu Zhanji immediately thought that Wang Gou'er was right, so he asked him what to do. Wang Gou'er proposed to send eunuchs to secretly see him, and he could achieve the effect without being too clear, and recommended him.
A slave like Wang Gou'er is becoming more and more popular.
But Zhu Zhanji didn't trust this eunuch very much. If this continues, Wang Gou'er's power among eunuchs will become more and more powerful...
Haitao, who is guarding the tomb of Fengyang, might have found an opportunity to let him come out to play; this slave is indeed hated, but his qualifications are indeed the one who checks and balances Wang Gou'er's.
Haitao was defeated so much that he was extremely guilty, but the emperor did not kill him.
This is something that Wang Gou'er has never figured out, and he doesn't understand how this person who is extremely guilty and evil can have a chance to recover...
