Chapter 576 The latest situation

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Since March, the capital has been enveloped in a solemn atmosphere.

    And it is getting stronger and stronger, even ordinary people are feeling it.

    Those folk elders were a little worried when they talked about the various changes and wars in the border areas.

    In the eyes of most of their people, the capital city is definitely safe, but many places in Dakang have become unsafe.

    As the proud people of heaven, the people in the capital care about the whole world.

    If the surrounding borders are no longer peaceful, won¡¯t the entire Dakang become fragmented?

    How can it still be regarded as the number one Central Plains Empire in the world?

    Even the common people were panicked, let alone the officials in the DPRK.

    Recently, the six ministries, major yamen in Beijing, and even the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army have been in a state of tension.

    They can clearly understand how bad the situation is and how severe the situation will be in the future from the intelligence and data collection from all aspects.

    The four prime ministers and deputy prime ministers of Wenyuan Pavilion, including Nangong Ji, the former deputy prime minister who is now guilty of meritorious service, have been working hard in the palace for many days and even slept in the palace, in order to solve various current difficulties.

    Emperor Jinghe, who already had two concubines pregnant with dragon seeds and was very happy, lost interest in continuing to sow seeds during this period. He was either reading various documents and reports every day, or chatting with the prime ministers, the generals of the Forbidden Army, and the six ministers.  We discuss matters.

    Today¡¯s imperial study room also has a solemn atmosphere.

    General Xiuyiwei Gao Jing stood in front of a huge hung map, holding a small bamboo braid, and was explaining the latest situation to everyone.

    ¡°On the Northern Defense Line, so far, Qiyan has harassed the Datong Defense Line three times, the Zhangjiakou Defense Line twice, the Shuozhou Defense Line twice, and the Yulin Defense Line once.

    Except for the first time, the scale of each attack was not large, about 3,000 to 5,000 people, and the fighting was not resolute. The casualties on both sides were not large. The total losses for the next seven times did not exceed 3,000.  people.

    The Northeastern defense line is in a lot of trouble. So far, Shiwei has launched multiple attacks on our Western Liaoning Corridor. A total of forty-five forts have been captured, and more than 50,000 border troops have been killed or injured.

    At present, there are only 60,000 people in Jinzhou City and Jinzhou Left Acropolis, 50,000 people in Ningyuan City and the surrounding acropolis, and 50,000 people in Shanhaiguan.

    At first glance, it seems that these people exceed 160,000, but in fact, there is no way to compare with Shiwei's 200,000, because if we give up holding on and attack them, I am afraid we can only fight a war with heavy losses.  In the end, after the entire army was wiped out, there were still 120,000 to 30,000 people left.

    Moreover, according to our intelligence, although Shiwei lost more than 60,000 people, they have recruited new people from affiliated tribes, which may reach 300,000!

    If we don¡¯t make changes, I¡¯m afraid that except for Shanhaiguan, the rest of the territory east of Shanhaiguan will all fall into the hands of Shiwei!  "

    Having said this, Gao Jing stopped.

    He left time for the emperor to discuss with the elders and ministers.

    Sure enough, Emperor Jinghe frowned and said, "Xiang Cao, do you have any countermeasures? This can't continue like this!"

    Cao Yi nodded, "This won't work. We still have more than one million people in the Liaoxi Corridor! If Shiwei gets these people and fertile land, I'm afraid it won't take 20 or 30 years for us to  Increase the pressure of millions of enemies!¡±

    "Didn't they kill our people like they did before?" Feng Yuqiang, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, said: "Now they have crossed Jinzhou City and reached the hinterland of Ningyuan City, and even reached many villages and towns below Shanhaiguan.  Didn¡¯t the people dodge in time?¡±

    Gao Jin said, "It's strange to say that neither Ningyuan City nor Jinzhou City sent such a report. They said that these Shiwei people and vassal tribes did not kill people on a large scale, or even rob supplies on a large scale."

    The emperor breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good!"

    "not good!"

    The wily Nangong Ji shook his head: "Your Majesty, if they fight and kill, they are still barbarians and pose little threat to us! But now they are neither killing nor robbing. Isn't this their plan to rule this land for a long time?  ?¡±

    Several people gasped in unison.

    indeed!

    As Nangong Ji thought, the Shiwei people were trying to win people's hearts by doing this.

    For ordinary people, the most important thing is to survive.

    like?Pan Hongmao, the governor of Sichuan, was on top, and Zhang Zizhe could only temporarily succumb to him.

    Now that there may be changes in the southwest, Ge Songdao suggested that Zhang Zizhe take over the defense of the three southwest provinces as soon as Shiwei launched his attack on Jinzhou Qianwei.

    The emperor and the other prime ministers agreed.

    Therefore, at this time, Zhang Zizhe had already arrived at the front line adjacent to Nanzhao and was actively preparing for war.

    Everyone knows that Ge Songdao never makes wild claims. Since he dared to guarantee this, Emperor Jinghe, Cao Yi and others were relieved.

    Then Ge Songdao continued: "I asked Pan Caimao to keep an eye on the Jianmen Pass strategic road with Shaanxi, and I asked Zhuang Haipeng to go to the front line of Xikang Fortress and told him that if the Xikang defense line was broken through by Tibet, he would not have to come back Zhuang Haipeng  He is not very courageous, but he is very cautious. As long as he holds on desperately, with the momentum Xikang has gathered in the past two years and the increasingly better conditions, nothing will happen."

    Pan Hongmao, the governor of the southwest, only focused on the Jianmenguan area to prevent the Western Qiang or Uighurs from coming to Sichuan along the Shaanxi side.

    "If he can't do this, he can only be called an idiot.

    Although Pan Hongmao is not a first-rate general, he can become the governor of three provinces. Such things as stupidity have nothing to do with him.

    Zhuang Haipeng was Zhuang Haoda, the former governor of Chengdu. After Zhang Zizhe was promoted to governor of Sichuan, he also took the opportunity to replace the old and sick governor of Xikang and became a new frontier official.

    Zhuang Haoda may not be so afraid of what other people say, but Zhuang Haoda must be afraid of Ge Songdao threatening him like this.

    Because he looked at Ge Shashen who had fought all the way, he only respected and obeyed Ge Songdao and didn't dare to have the slightest thought.

    As for the conditions in Xikang, this is also thanks to Liu Mingqi and Ge Songdao.

    The terrain of Xikang is relatively high and the climate is relatively cold. The fortresses in the west are covered with heavy snow for at least half of the year. Even in the half of Xikang that is closer to Sichuan, the weather temperature is more than ten degrees colder than Sichuan.

    In this climate, heating is one of the most important things.

    It just so happened that Liu Mingqi invented briquettes two years ago, and Ge Songdao also asked Sichuan to set up a briquette workshop. From then on, a large amount of briquettes could be continuously sent to Xikang.

    For the sergeants of Xikang Fortress.

    For the families of the sergeants of Xikang Fortress.

    Let them all survive the extremely cold winter safely.

    In this way, morale will naturally rise.

    Even though it is April now and the weather has gradually warmed up, the morale of Xikang Fortress is still very high.

    Facing the Tibetans who had never broken through the Xikang Fortress in the past 20 to 30 years, they were also very angry.

    This is one of the reasons why Ge Songdao asked Zhuang Haoda to pass.

    After all, if you are too arrogant, you will suffer a loss.

    Only the cautious Zhuang Haoda kept urging them and spurring them on, so they would not make the big mistake of underestimating the enemy.

    Hearing this, a smile appeared on Emperor Jinghe's face: "If the southwest can be stable, we can feel at ease at least."

    "right!"

    Ge Songdao said sternly: "This is exactly what Weichen is considering. If the hidden dangers of Nanzhao and Tubo are solved in the southwest, then we can be free to make other plans."

    "Oh?" Feng Yuqiang said with great interest: "I would like to hear the details!"

    "The Southeast Governor Jia Xiaode has 200,000 troops scattered in three provinces. Among them, Guangxi has 60,000, Guangdong has 80,000, and Fujian has 60,000." Ge Song said, "We are now able to protect the southwest, so Guangxi's  The 60,000 people can be transferred directly to Fujian to temporarily help Fujian defend. And the 60,000 people in Fujian can go north to Zhejiang to help Zhejiang defend.

    Based on their national strength and transportation level, the number of Japanese visitors would be around 200,000 at most.  As long as our army has enough people to withstand their first wave of attacks, then in two months at most, we can confidently and boldly transfer Wanyanyi's Tiger Army to Shanhaiguan, and together with Li Nanyuan, we can attack the room  Wei Jun.

    No matter how powerful Shiwei's army is, it is impossible to capture Jinzhou and Ningyuan within two months, right?  Both towns have 7,000 to 10,000 elite imperial troops, 30,000 to 40,000 frontier troops, and 20,000 to 30,000 strong family members of the border troops who can be used!  Moreover, we have all kinds of food and ordnance supplies, so it should be easy to defend for three months.  "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
