Chapter 579 The official residence meeting ([-])

If the army does not mobilize, how will the Kong Youde Rebellion that will occur in the future be resolved?
Faced with this question, Army Commander Han Xiaobo gave a decisive answer: plan ahead, control the development of the situation, and nip the crisis in the bud!
Undoubtedly, Han Xiaobo's answer is not considered a pass, because it is too general to convince the participants.

Then Han Xiaobo can only explain in detail.

"I found that everyone has a misunderstanding: as long as the army is dispatched in everything, the problem can be solved with one force. But the chaos of Kong Youde's rebellion cannot be solved by the army."

"There is a key link here: Kong Youde rebelled, which department is in charge of certification?"

Scanning left and right, and after waiting for a while, Han Xiaobo found that only a few people seemed to understand, so he said with a smile: "Dengzhou is not Yizhou, it's not a place where we can go whenever we want, and we can make movies whenever we want. That's right, Kong Youde is rebellious, but if you don’t go through the investigation and verification of the imperial court, and then you send troops by explicit order, our side will suddenly descend from heaven and run to Shandong to fight with the 'friendly army', which is also a rebellion, and the nature is even worse!"

After Han Xiaobo said this, more people noticed the operational problems.

Information transmission in the seventeenth century was slow.

For the crossing forces, Kong Youde's rebellion is also difficult to operate: even if the army is dispatched in advance to the north, it will not work if there are too few. Waiting for Kong Youde's soldiers to steal that chicken?

After going through all the incidents, how to explain to the imperial court that they sent a large army to Shandong to ambush Kong Youde's troops without orders?
Just happened to take a walk and meet a rebel?

Does the court believe it?

At that time, in the eyes of the imperial court, it was none other than your surname Cao who really came to rebel with ulterior motives! "

"So, foresight is not a panacea, at least it needs to be used in the right place to be effective."

After Han Xiaobo concluded, seeing that some people were still not convinced, he could only sigh and continue to deduce: "Even if we now send a telegram to go through the formalities to find an excuse to send the troops to Dengzhou, at least we have to wait until Kong Youde's rebellion. Only under the state city can we make a move?"

"But at that time, what's the point of working hard?"

"Historically, after Kong Youde's rebellion, he defected from North Zhili and returned to the Shandong Peninsula. He first fell into the cities of Linyi, Lingxian, Shanghe, and Qingcheng.

"Following closely behind was the Deputy General of Lvshun of Dongjiang Town, Chen Youyou, and the Deputy General of Guangludao, Mao Chenglu (Mao Wenlong's son), who had good relations with Kong Youde. They responded immediately after hearing the news, and once separated half of Dongjiang Town. echo."

Han Xiaobo looked helpless: "Our highest interest in the north is social stability and orderly flow of population. All our actions must be centered on this goal."

"That is to say, the moment Kong Youde raised the flag of rebellion, our dispatch of troops lost its meaning. Because the place is bound to be corrupted, the social order is broken, and bad influence has been spread. And these are not an army can be prevented."

Hearing what Han Xiaobo said, Mu Longcheng immediately added: "At that time, Kong Youde had changed from 800 cavalry to tens of thousands of miscellaneous troops. Our troops would at most defeat the opponent, and the consequences would be even worse, because Shandong will It was completely messed up by the rout."

In the end, Mu Longcheng asked rhetorically, "Can't disarm and take down Kong Youde's troops as soon as the army lands, the reason is that this guy is about to rebel because of a chicken?"

After a simple deduction by the two of Han and Mu, everyone here finally realized that the so-called sending troops to the north to solve the problems of Kong Youde's department: it was thankless, and many of the links could not be explained to the court.

And at this time, Xia Xianze, the CEO of Time Travel Company, who lives alone in a high position and manages a lot of things, has made it clear to save time, probably.

He first pushed away a stack of materials about the Dengzhou Rebellion in front of him, and after pondering for a while, he said: "I don't agree with sending troops either. Apart from secondary factors such as excuses and finances, have you ever thought that this will give the court Pull us outside the customs as cannon fodder?"

"That's right, that's the problem!" Han Xiaobo patted his thigh, and the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes actually patted his horse very smoothly: "Why don't you say that Mr. Xia will see you soon! Didn't you say that before?" , we have to wait and see from the other side! At this juncture, what our General Cao should do is find an excuse to play and disappear, instead of sending troops to the north to beat himself in the face!"

——————————————————————————————

Now that Master Zhongtang has set the tone, the participants will no longer boycott the sending of troops to the north.Besides, Han Xiaobo's opinion is correct after all, and everyone has now seen the unreliability of sending troops.

However, the problem remains unresolved: What happened to the Kong Youde Rebellion?
The next moment, Han Xiaobo opened the folder in front of him and took out a few pieces of office paper: "This is my recent communication message with Yao Jianshe of Tianjin Station and Xue Haiyuan of Beijing Station."

"In fact, as early as half a year ago, the General Staff had a close exchange of information and deduction of the situation with the northern trio on the matter of Dengzhou. Therefore, there is a specialization in the art industry, and everything I said today is relevant. It's justified."

After glancing at someone, Han Xiaobo handed Xia Xianze a copy of the document, and threw the rest on the long table: "The northern trio, especially Yao Jianshe, who is in charge of the Tianjin station in the Dengzhou area, have agreed to There is a special plan for Dengzhou, and it has entered the preparatory stage."

"The name of this plan is called 'cooked rice'".

As soon as Han Xiaobo finished speaking, someone immediately smiled: "What's your plan, why did you come up with such a weird name?"

"Everything has two sides." Han Xiaobo did not answer directly, and seemed to analyze the situation again: "The remnants of Dongjiang Town, represented by Kong Youde, are not only the victims of the turmoil of the court, it is regrettable; they are also out-and-out Feudal warlords, backward armed representatives."

"And our goal is not only to ensure a stable and peaceful situation in Shandong, but also to swallow and digest the group of Dongjiang warlords who are wary of rats. Is this not sandwiched rice?"

Xia Xianze did not touch the document.

As the head of the government, he had already heard the military's special report on the Dalinghe Battle and even Dengzhou, so he knew very well what was written in that document.

Seeing that Han Xiaobo was in a hurry, he didn't express his opinion lightly, but asked slowly: "How far has your plan progressed?"

"Since it hasn't been approved yet, we can only make preparations in advance for the capital. If everything goes well, our ally will know that Mr. Cao is not willing to take the army with him this time. Wade in muddy waters outside the pass."

"About Kong Youde." Han Xiaobo's eyes flickered at this moment, and finally said the core of the plan: "According to our plan, in this plane, he will not receive the order to rescue Zu Dashou in Liaodong. Once he received an order from the Ministry of War, he would be asked to prepare his troops so that he could join the 'reinforcement' from the sea, land from Liaodong, attack Jiannu's flanks, encircle Wei and rescue Zhao."

"In this way, it's a drudgery." Han Xiaobo leaned on the back of the chair and said with a smile, "This is the usage of foresight. Are you still a time traveler who knows everything and knows how to be tough?"

Seeing Han Xiaobo's complacent ridicule, someone immediately asked: "You are nothing more than shifting the pressure from the military to the political, and it works? Besides, didn't you say you won't send troops? What about the reinforcements at sea?" one thing?"

At this time, Han Xiaobo ignored people who had nothing to do with him.He stared at Xia Xianze closely, and said solemnly: "Our lord ally has won all the way, so he should do something now, right? Ordering the Dengzhou army to take our boat by sea, isn't that a high request?"

Speaking of this step, Xia Xianze actually agreed with the plan, so he finally asked, "What do you mean by sea reinforcements?"

"That's the Merchant Marine Fleet. According to Tianjin Station's plan, it will be filled with food and ready-made clothes, and it will be used to recruit those beggars in Dongjiang Town."

Han Xiaobo finally summed it up clearly: "This matter, in fact, the army is just pretending to shout a few words, and the real operation is the northern trio. The military sets up the stage, and the political and economic plays."

Hearing this, Xia Xianze finally nodded in agreement with the "cooked rice" plan: "Take your time, sandwiched raw rice, I think it's just a waste of time, don't worry."

With Xia Xianze's final decision, so far, a series of follow-up situations related to the future war in the north of the Ming Dynasty, on the side of the crossing forces, a proper strategic response plan has been made.

——————————————————————————————

And on the second day after the meeting, Cao Chuan, the pillar of the south sky, the pillar of the imperial court, and the loyal uncle Cao Chuan, officially announced an important news: In view of the fact that the Haidong Samoyed Kingdom recently blocked the trade route and robbed Cao's fleet, his old man He had to urgently lead a large army to fight against the disobedient ministers.

Less than 10 days later, under the attention of all the people, General Cao assembled an army at Baietan outside Guangzhou City, and swore wine with Governor Xiong.After that, the Samoyed Crusade Fleet, consisting of two giant ships and dozens of large ships, sailed out of Hong Kong and headed straight for Nanyang, where they disappeared.

At the same time, in the far north, Zu Dashou, the vanguard general of the Guanning Army, was looking at the north with a serious face on the ruined site of the Daling River Fort in the north of Jinzhou.And under his feet, there are a large number of auxiliary soldiers and militiamen who are desperately building the fort wall.

At the same time, at the more distant west gate of Liaoyang City, Hou Jin Da Khan Huang Taiji and a group of Mongolian Taijis in leather robes were taking turns holding the waist-hugging ceremony that Manchus used when meeting distinguished guests.And behind the honored guest, is the Mongolian army rolling in.

At the same time, in a military camp in Hebei, a young man in a fat red coat opened the curtain and entered the room, holding a telegram in his hand: "My lord, there is a telegram."

"Submit it quickly!" The middle-aged man who was sitting at the top and eating immediately put down his chopsticks and took the telegram.
