Qiming 1158

Chapter 1146 Quanzhou and Guangzhou

As a senior officer, Lu Yongyan is an expert in military affairs.

Having been in contact with the army for many years and training the army, he naturally knows how much effort it takes to train this beautiful-looking army formation.

So when he heard that some civilian officials actually thought that this was the result of the Ming army's assault training, the purpose was to deter Lin'an City to strengthen the army, he couldn't stand it anymore.

Is this the result of assault training?

So he tried to explain the mystery to the laymen Shen Gai, Zhou Linzhi and Zhang Shi who were not very familiar with the military.

"This pace formation looks beautiful and seems to be quite easy to train, but it can be said to be even more difficult to train. It is not easy to make everyone listen to the slogan and act according to the order.

Not to mention the need to walk out of such a uniform pace, this is by no means three or five days of work, and even two or three months of training every day may not be able to be achieved, this must be the work of years of hard work.

Don't dare to say anything else. If this group of soldiers is placed in the Song Dynasty army, it will definitely be one of the best soldiers. I just don't know what level of elite soldiers such an army is in the Ming Dynasty. "

Zhou Linzhi was quite disdainful about this.

"It's so difficult to walk in a neater line? What's the point of it? Isn't the most important thing for the army? What about walking in a beautiful line? It's just a pretense, and it's broken when you poke it!"

What the layman Zhou Linzhi said immediately made Lu Yongyan wonder whether to laugh or cry.

"Zhou Xianggong doesn't know that, on the actual battlefield, a neat and uniform queue represents combat effectiveness. According to the slogan, the prohibition is the combat effectiveness. They can even walk in such a neat queue, and they can execute the order according to the slogan without leakage, so on the battlefield , their army will be unbreakable."

Lu Yongyan sighed: "The military formation requires uniformity, order and prohibition, and a state carved out of a mold like this, once on the battlefield, it will be an army. Iron Army, no wonder the Ming Army is so good at fighting..."

Shen Kai was silent, Zhang Shi's eyes were full of brilliance, and Zhou Linzhi was full of dissatisfaction.

"If the Ming Kingdom can be trained, can Da Song not be trained? I don't believe it. As long as there is enough military spending, an army can't be trained like this? The people of the Ming Kingdom are all heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals!"

"It can be possible, but it is too difficult."

Lu Yongyan gave a more reliable analysis from a professional point of view: "First of all, it will take at least half a year... No, it is better to have nine months, or ten months, and you need enough military spending, you need to supplement enough food, you can't be hungry, and then you need to …”

"Don't say it, that's it."

Shen Gai interrupted Lu Yongyan's speech and sighed: "These are not important anymore, let's think about what to do next, training troops or something, let's not talk about it for the time being... Have you taken the official medicine?"

Shen Gai looked at Zhou Linzhi.

Zhou Linzhi's expression froze for a moment, and then the expression on his face turned into a deep sense of helplessness.

"I've eaten it, the same amount, the same number of times. The imperial doctor also said that it's fine for a few days or ten days. If the number of times is too much and the time is too long, the human limbs will really be abolished."

Shen Qi's eyes moved.

"That's it, we have no way out."

Zhou Linzhi lowered his head and reluctantly admitted that everything Shen Gai said was right.

They, indeed, have no way out. They can only go all the way to the dark, and see if it will be another village after the darkness, or a dead end.

On the evening of September 24th in the fifth year of Hongwu, Su Yonglin received a battle report from Zhang Yuejing in Zhongdu.

At first glance, he was overjoyed at first, and then, as if he had seen some interesting story, he stared at the battle report for a while before announcing a central meeting and making the matter public.

Knowing that the Southern Song Dynasty gave up resistance and surrendered, and announced that they had accepted all the demands put forward by the Ming Kingdom, the central decision-makers who participated in the meeting were very happy and cheered each other.

Then Su Yonglin announced the news of the coup d'etat in the Southern Song Dynasty. The coup d'etat handed over most of the royal family of the Southern Song Dynasty, including Emperor Zhao Tan, to the Ming army.

When they heard the news, the officials who attended the meeting were very surprised.

"Is there such a thing?"

Xin Qiji was greatly shocked: "The Southern Song Dynasty has always advertised orthodoxy and the righteousness of monarchs and ministers, but now such a coup has taken place?"

"It's really surprising."

Kong Maojie sneered: "But if you think about it, you don't find it strange, anyway, this is what they always say and do. They are all about the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, and they are all conspiracies in private. It’s really incredible to do it.”

"It's not that incredible. This is one of the many possibilities I imagined, but I didn't expect them to do it so absolutely."

Su Yonglin shook the battle report in his hand: "Except for the new emperor, Zhao Tan's third son Zhao Dun and his family, as well as the Supreme Empress Wu, the entire imperial clan in the Southern Song Dynasty has been wiped out for them, and all are handed over to them. Given to us, this has to remind me of the city of Kaifeng back then, like, really like."

"It does look like it, it was then, and it is now."

Xin Qiji sneered: "It can only be said that after so many years, that group of people has not changed at all, and they have not grown at all."

"What's more interesting is that they even sent out the Kaifeng clan that we rescued and sent back... I spent the boss's efforts to save them back, are they returning it to me now?"

Su Yonglin laughed helplessly, and then said sternly: "Since the battle is over, and they have shown sincerity, then it is obvious what we should do next, take this opportunity to ask them to agree to some more conditions, and directly Lock them up."

At the following meeting, Su Yonglin mobilized everyone to brainstorm, and finally concluded some existences that could be regarded as additional terms, so that the Southern Song Dynasty would accept them all, and they would do it all in one go, so that they would not have any confidence to jump around in the future.

The first one is to cede the land again. This time, the two prefectures, Zhenjiang and Jiankang, are to be ceded. In this way, the possibility of rebuilding the Yangtze River defense line in the Southern Song Dynasty is blocked. The Ming army will have to cross the river again. necessary.

Then there is the garrison.

In order to further deter the Southern Song Dynasty from carrying out various tasks, and to prepare for the actual extermination of the Song Dynasty, Su Yonglin decided to set up some garrison points in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The stationing of the Ma Infantry seems to be a little too focused on deterrence by force, so Su Yonglin prefers to station the navy at the port for deterrence.

For example, the Ming army navy stationed in the port near Suzhou Ocean, and the navy stationed in the Fujian and Guangzhou areas to show the military presence of the Ming Dynasty, etc., this should be a very meaningful thing.

And thinking about it like this, Su Yonglin suddenly thought of a more important matter.

Su Yonglin decided to ask the Southern Song Dynasty to cede the two states of Quanzhou and Guangzhou.

"Zhenjiang House and Jiankang House are related to the army going south. Quanzhou and Guangzhou are so far away from Daming, why is it necessary?"

Kong Maojie, who did not know much about economic affairs, raised doubts: "One is on Fujian Road, and the other is in Lingnan. Is it important to us? It is so far away that it can only be controlled by the navy, which is equivalent to an enclave. It's very unsafe."

Kong Maojie's words made Lin Jingchun who was sitting on the side very dissatisfied.

"How is it important? That's very important! Do you know how long I have been eyeing these two big ports?!"

Kong Maojie felt very depressed about being suddenly attacked by Lin Jingchun.

"Old Lintou, why are you mad at me? I haven't asked you for money recently."

"It's not that I'm angry with you, it's that I'm very dissatisfied with your speech!"

Lin Jingchun said seriously: "Do you know how much tax the two ports of Quanzhou and Guangzhou can provide to the Southern Song Dynasty every year? More than 200 million guan! The two ports can have more than 200 million guan!

Do you know what more than 200 million yuan can do?Don't look at Daming's current financial income, but basically the money can't be kept. Every year, if there is a surplus, you have to burn incense. Now there are 200 million more, what a great thing! "

Kong Maojie was a little surprised.

"so many."

"Otherwise? Why do you think I'm keeping my eyes on the two ports? The chairman has been talking about opening up and reducing expenditure over the years. We have already achieved the ultimate in cost-saving. How should we open up open source? business, but the world's commerce is basically in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty can't compete in the Southern Song Dynasty, do you know?"

Lin Jingchun frowned, knocking on the table and saying, "It is very important to win these two states, we must do something to grab the business of the Southern Song Dynasty!"
