Chapter 1154 Decisive Deployment

Eunuchs don't all eat dry food, Qin Sande is making careful preparations.Just when Su Tian became the empire that was about to be established and began to build a comprehensive structure, Qin Sande was also faithfully performing his duties. To Qin Sande's satisfaction, Zhu Yousong fully supported all his measures and did not raise any embarrassments. opinions, and did not demonstrate their own command.

Qin Sande's conception has undergone some changes. After arriving in Nanjing, he quickly discovered that it is very difficult to carry out relevant transformations even for the Beijing camp stationed in Nanjing, let alone face There are hundreds of thousands of troops. According to Qin Sande, the quality of the Nanjing Jingying is still good. At least for so many years, the military salary has been guaranteed. The sergeants of the Jingying also support and support the court, at least they will not fight In the process, there is a large-scale surrender.

Effective reform of Nanjing's Beijing Capital Law, let alone facing other armies, and Zuo Liangyu, Ma Shiying, Huang Degong and others can be regarded as princes of one side, leading the army for a long time must be difficult. There are some rebellious ones, and after the real battle, it is very likely that they will have to preserve their own strength.

When Qin Sande and Zhu Yousong came to Nanjing, they did not bring any food and payment, but only the imperial decree and monk Fang Baojian.

After careful consideration, Qin Sande decided not to make any arrangements for the time being, so as not to disturb Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying in Zhejiang. What needs to be done at present is to be done in a secret and low-key manner, and do not cause any outside disturbance. If Su Tiancheng can't wait, he will launch an attack immediately. First, Nanzhili still has some strength and can carry out corresponding resistance, especially Nanjing City, which has a thick city wall. It is not easy to attack, and secondly, Su Tiancheng led the Jiangning battalion into Nanzhili to fight.Qin Sande can ask Zuo Liangyu and others to lead the army directly into Zhejiang and Fujian and other places, copying Su Tiancheng's retreat.

So Qin Sande is not in a hurry.

After arriving in Nanjing, Qin Sande did not live in the palace, but chose to live in the official post. This is a very rare situation. The guarding eunuch in Nanjing is direct from Qin Sande.They are all Qin Sande's people, of course they are received cautiously, for fear that there is something that may not be done well. As for Sun Tai, Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, he has not been in office for a long time, and it is impossible to have any airs.What's more, it was Zhu Yousong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War and Qin Sande, the eunuch of Bingbi, who came to Nanjing. It was very clear which one was more important to Sun Tai, otherwise it would have been impossible to get promoted.

After Qin Sande came to Nanjing, he quickly made a rule that when Mr. Zhu and himself had nothing to do to summon you, they should not come to the official post to disturb them, and they should still be busy with other things.Don't act different.

It was precisely because of Qin Sande's arrangement that Qu Qingze and Su Jun failed to obtain any valuable information. [

After serious thinking, Qin Sande discussed with Zhu Yousong. In any case, the opinions between the two of them must be unified, and there should be no differences. Otherwise, it will be difficult to implement the following, especially in the face of such a major event. matter.

After Zhu Yousong entered the room.Qin Sande cut to the chase.

"Master Zhu, our family has an idea and wants to discuss it with Master Zhu."

"Your father-in-law is being polite. If you think of anything, just say it."

"Then our family is not welcome. Master Zhu knows that Zuo Liangyu who is stationed in Huguang leads an army of 20, which is the most powerful force. In addition, Huang Degong who is stationed in Luzhou leads five There are 33 troops under the leadership of Governor Ma of Fengyang, and [-] troops in the Nanjing Jingying Camp. The total is [-] troops, which are strong enough."

"But that's exactly the case. Our family is very worried. The 33 troops don't usually act together. This time, they rashly gather together to attack Su Tiancheng. The coordination and command matters are all troublesome. As for the matter, look at Su Tiancheng's situation is different, Jiang Ning Ying can enforce orders and prohibit, and in this regard, he has a great advantage."

"Our family used to think that we could reform the army well. The Jiangning Battalion has something to learn, but the time is too tight, and I'm afraid it's too late. But no matter what, the military order must be unified. If the army is required to attack, it must attack. , we can’t be perfunctory, to deceive adults and our family, to deceive the court.”

Zhu Yousong nodded. He understood Qin Sande's meaning, that is, the meaning of unifying command power. It is easy to say this sentence, but it is not that simple to really do it. You must know that the generals who command the army , has long regarded the army as his own reliance, and that Liu Zeqing who was wiped out by Su Tiancheng and "suicided" did not choose the path of "suicide" because he lost the army and felt that there was no hope.

Seeing that Zhu Yousong didn't speak, Qin Sande continued.

"Master Zhu and our family have great responsibilities. The emperor and the imperial court have entrusted us with great trust. Master Zhu and our family will not dare to live up to them. But if the orders of the army cannot be unified, so that they lose the battle and cannot keep Nanzhili, I am afraid our family will His fate is exactly the same as that of Liu Zeqing."

Zhu Yousong's body trembled slightly. If such a situation really happened, his ending might be even worse than that of Qin Sande. He still has support in the court, and there are people to help him speak, but he has no support at all. If you really want to say that you have failed, you may not be able to keep your head, and your family will also suffer.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yousong no longer hesitates, he needs to make a clear statement.

"What my father-in-law said is right. The command power must be unified. My father-in-law and I have taken on the heavy responsibility of guarding Nanzhili. We must unify the command of the 33 armies. My father-in-law has a heavy responsibility. No matter what suggestions I make, I agree .”

Qin Sande glanced at Zhu Yousong. Judging from the situation he had, Zhu Yousong was actually very good, with sufficient wisdom, and knew how to deal with things. But this time the situation may be different. Zhu Yousong has always been very Be cautious, rarely express any substantive opinions, and everything is based on your own arrangements.

It was too late to investigate the deeper things, Qin Sande continued to speak. [

"Our family sees that the army will not be mobilized for the time being. Please invite Zuo Liangyu, Huang Degong and Master Ma to come to Nanjing. First, discuss how to deal with Su Tiancheng and defend Nanzhili, and then consider the matter of attacking. I don't know Master Zhu. What do you think."

"My father-in-law is very considerate, I think this is the way to do it."

Of course, Zhu Yousong is clear about the meaning of this. Inviting Zuo Liangyu and others to come to Nanjing is to ask for their command right, and the army must obey the unified dispatch. If there is any wavering at this critical moment, Qin Sande It is possible to use Shang Fang's sword, even if it kills you, you have nothing to say.

It is not the best arrangement for things to be done in a hurry. Zhu Yousong also understands it. Unfortunately, he can't come up with a good solution. If he doesn't take any action, he always suppresses Zuo Liangyu and others in the name of the court. It's not a big deal. It might work. As for Zuo Liangyu and others, they dare not come to Nanjing, otherwise they will anger the imperial court, and their positions can be adjusted.

Zhu Yousong doesn't want to be a villain. The task sent by the emperor is obviously hard work. No one is willing to do it. Everyone knows the bravery of the Jiangning camp. They also have an army of 10,000+, more than 30 people, in Su Tiancheng and Jiangning camp. , It's not data that is fearful, people can always think of ways to deal with it.

But when the matter came to this point, Qin Sande took the initiative to propose it. At this time, Zhu Yousong could not protect himself wisely, and there was no room for further concessions. He could only follow the route designed by Qin Sande and walk step by step.And showing full support is actually taking part of the responsibility for Qin Sande. You must know that in the court, although the eunuchs are in charge of power, civil and military officials still look down on eunuchs because of Wei Zhongxian's affairs.

After Zhu Yousong left, Qin Sande was also very satisfied. His arrangement was very bold. Depriving Zuo Liangyu and others of the command power was no small matter, but the 33 army could not achieve unified orders, and the consequences would be It's terrible, once there is a situation where everyone sings their own tunes, there is no need for Su Tiancheng to step up the attack. These large armies flood into Nanzhili, which heralds the beginning of failure. Qin Sande still knows the many bad habits in the army , An out-of-control army is like a scourge that can swallow everything.

As for why Su Tiancheng did not attack Nanzhili for so long, Qin Sande also has some guesses. He and Su Tiancheng have done things together, and he knows that Su Tiancheng has a certain temper. When Su Tiancheng does things, he values ​​things in his bones. , what needs to be obtained is the actual effect, and does not care about the glamor of the appearance. I am afraid that it is also because of this reason that Su Tiancheng has not launched an attack for a long time. There are more than 30 troops.

Qin Sande also went all out, which is closely related to his wealth and life. If the court is overthrown by Su Tiancheng, eunuchs like them will have no way out. It is possible to exist only by being attached to the emperor. How could Su Tiancheng take him in? These people, fighting Su Tiancheng at this time, are also protecting themselves.As for Zhu Yousong, the situation is similar. After all, there is a big difference between Zhu Yousong and Zhu Shenxun. If Su Tiancheng takes over the world, those vassal kings will also die. Speaking of the vassal kings of Shandong, their status is the same as that of ordinary people, without any privileges, and even the land has to be handed over.This is probably one of the reasons for Zhu Yousong's firm attitude.
