Chapter 791 prepares to knight Wu Songkou, and the whole clan Daming garrisons the brigade headquarters.Today's Wusongkou garrison brigade bears the same responsibility as the customs of later generations, all merchant ships entering or exporting the Yangtze River port, must be registered and inspected, tax collection is their main responsibility, in order to better enforce the law, hold the entrance to the sea of the Jiangnan gentry.The Wusongkou Garrison Brigade is a special composite brigade.It has two shore artillery defense regiments, 36 Exocet-class gunboats, and 63 bird boats captured from Zheng's family, plus auxiliary transport ships, a dock repair yard, three Yangtze River patrol and waterproof divisions, a base training regiment, and a garrison regiment.The Wusongkou Garrison Brigade also has more than 1,300 civilian staff, and although the total number of the entire brigade exceeds 10,000, its real land combat effectiveness is far weaker than that of ordinary field brigades.Despite this, this is the closest unit of the Ming Dynasty to Nanjing, and Yan Yingyuan chose to report to the General Staff as soon as he received the news of the Nanjing Incident.However, the message sent by the radio station has not been responded to for a long time.At this time, the seven major regimental commanders, the seven captains' deputy regiments, and the major regimental chief of staff of Wusongkou all arrived at the brigade headquarters headquarters.Yan Yingyuan looked at Chen Mingyu, who was in charge of logistics, and said, "Gongchen!
The General Staff has not yet issued an order, let's first prepare to send troops, food, grass, ammunition, vehicles and ships!
”Chen Mingyu groaned: "It's ready, forty-three transport ships, fifteen civilian ships, temporarily enough, food, grass and ammunition, we are ready-made, ready to load at any time!"
”"Supposedly, it's time for the order of the General Staff!"
Yan Yingyuan looked puzzled, when Quan Xu left Wusongkou, he left Yan Yingyuan a military-level radio station, and he could contact Quan Xu or the General Staff at any time.Under normal circumstances, the General Staff Headquarters was always on the radio, and the other party also made it clear that they had received the news of the shocking changes in Nanjing.Although Chen Mingyu's official position and fame are far greater than Yan Yingyuan's, he lacks military command ability, and when Yan Yingyuan recommended Chen Mingyu to Quan Xu, Chen Mingyu's official was the head of Wusongkou.This official position is equivalent to that of a local mayor, and in addition to the military, civil affairs, tax collection, and even civil disputes in the jurisdiction of the garrison brigade are also handled by him.Although Chen Mingyu does not understand military affairs, he is definitely a capable official in dealing with civil affairs and government affairs.Just when Yan Yingyuan was a little confused, Chen Mingyu considered the Nanjing Incident from a political aspect.Both the state and the court have a distinctly personal temperament.Especially Quan Xu, he is not a particularly generous person.See what happened to those people?
Quan Xu hated traitors very much, especially Fan Wencheng, not only the whole clan was killed, but he was also Ling Chi, in order to make him suffer great pain, Quan Xu let people hang their lives with new drugs, and when Ling Chi was executed, there were more than a dozen medical staff guarding outside, ready to rescue at any time, just not to let Fan Wencheng die happily.Except for Fan Wencheng, no one like Jiannu can die well, just like Mang Gurtai in Jiannu, this person is a very cruel person who likes to torture people to death.He often let the Han people let dogs and bite them to death.Quan Xu asked people to execute him in the same way, and Quan Xu asked people to find more than a dozen fierce dogs, put Mang Gurtai into the dog cage, and bite him to death.It can be said that the most disgusting people and the most annoying people in Quanxu are all in Nanjing City.Quan Xu probably doesn't want to solve the Nanjing problem so smoothly.For those who make the emperor uncomfortable, there will certainly be no good end."
Brigade commander......"
Yan Yingyuan said impatiently: "I have something to say!"
”"I'm afraid it's ......"
Chen Mingyu lowered his voice and said: "I'm afraid that the imperial court is not ready to let the brigade commander send troops!"
”"No troops?"
Yan Yingyuan said: "Once the city of Nanjing is broken, there will definitely be corpses all over the field, and countless injuries will be inflicted!"
”Chen Mingyu smiled bitterly in his heart, Quan Xu already hated the Jiangnan gentry, he was just afraid of bearing the notoriety of torture and killing, otherwise with the strength of the Royal Army, he only needed to transfer a division commander casually and lead six brigades to the south, and he could easily take Nanjing.But the problem is that Quan Xu has never dispatched the army.This is very abnormal, since the Battle of Tianjin, the 16th Division has completely annihilated Abatai's division, in fact, the losses of the 16th Division are almost negligible, which means that the 16th Division has the strength to move south quickly.If Quan Xu had ordered at that time, the 16th Division would have taken Nanjing long ago.Even if you don't use the 16th Division, you can also use the 7th Division stationed in Henan, this 7th Division is different from the 16th Division, the 7th Division is the descendant of Quan Xu's lineage, formed by the Zhuang households of Quanjiazhuang Town, with strong soldiers and horses, and the strength is quite strong.Whether it is the seventh division or the sixteenth division, it has enough strength to sweep away the more than 200,000 troops under the command of Hong Chengchou.Just when Yan Yingyuan was about to ask Quan Xu for battle, the order of the General Staff was finally issued, but this order was only four words: "Act cheaply!"
”Acting cheaply is a phrase that often appears in ancient holy decrees, which is specially given to the feudal officials, or the marshals of one party, which means that there is no need to ask for instructions, and they can make their own decisions.In other words, the Quan's court gave Yan Yingyuan the decision to send troops or not.Yan Yingyuan almost didn't hesitate, and directly ordered: "Shen Qicong!
”"Humble duty!""
You stay to defend Wusongkou, and the other departments will send troops with the brigade commander!"
Chen Mingyu looked at Yan Yingyuan and said, "Brigade Commander, please think twice!"
”"Your Majesty, naturally give Yan the right to act cheaply, and Yan will live up to Your Majesty's trust!"
Chen Mingyu wanted to say, Lao Yan, are you really stupid, or are you fake stupid?
Giving you power, that's not how it works!
This matter is already obvious, Quan Xu just doesn't want to send troops to occupy Nanjing, and he doesn't want to interfere in Nanjing's affairs, he is killing people with a knife, and he has dealt with the problem of Nanjing with Zhang Xianzhong's hand.In fact, Chen Mingyu really guessed wrong.Quan Xu is not a person who is afraid of taking on notoriety, on the contrary, he knows his own family's affairs, and the Jiangnan gentry and the world's scholars have arranged him a lot.It is also rumored in many countryside that Quan Xu is the reincarnation of the Demon King, who eats a baby at every meal and drinks human blood......
For these arrangements, Quan Xu really doesn't care.If a feudal official only considers his own interests, then he will definitely not adhere to his principles, and he will not have the state in his heart.This is an exam question that has been placed as Yan Yingyuan, if Yan Yingyuan can hand in the answer sheet of Quan Xu's ideal again, then it will be limitless for his future.Quan Xu needs a minister who can handle emergencies independently, especially the Central and Southern Governor's Office, which has neither established nor a governor, and Quan Xu is still considering this candidate.In the Governor's Mansion, although the cabinet can recommend it, the power is in the hands of Quan Xu, Yan Yingyuan is in the system of the whole family army, and his qualifications are not high, but his ability is limited.If he can win the first credit for counterinsurgency in Nanjing, Quan Xu can promote him to major general, and use the major general to be responsible for the reorganization of the southbound army and the formation of the Central and Southern Governor's Office.The opportunity was given to Yan Yingyuan, as for whether he could grasp it, that was Yan Yingyuan's problem.Yan Yingyuan said lightly: "Gongchen, as a minister, I hope that this is a taboo, remember, remember!"
”This is a matter of principle, a minister who is good at figuring out what he wants, once he gives people the label of flattery, it will be over in the future.Chen Mingyu had no choice but to give up.After Yan Yingyuan assembled the three naval divisions of the garrison brigade, plus the teaching regiment and the garrison regiment, as well as all the troops, he mobilized the people in the area under the jurisdiction of the garrison brigade, united with some of the men of the whole caravan, temporarily requisitioned more than 2,000 people, gathered more than 5,000 horses, and took the naval division's warship and rushed straight to Nanjing.Beijing, Forbidden City.After the General Staff reported Yan Yingyuan's reaction to Quan Xu, Quan Xu smiled faintly: "I finally lived up to my expectations!"
”In fact, Quan Xu once thought of letting Li Xin serve as the governor of the Central and Southern Governor's Mansion, and he had this ability, but Li Xin dared to force the palace, and his courage was boundless, which made Quan Xu very unrestrained.At this moment, Shen Mingze asked Quan Xu urgently: "Your Majesty, although the Nile Delta is rich, the problem is that it is easy to fight, and it is too difficult to govern!"
”"It's not that difficult!"
Quan Xu smiled faintly: "The imperial army is the most powerful guarantee!"
”"But it's too far from the Empire!"
Shen Mingze smiled bitterly: "The Ottoman Empire is too large, and the size of the garrison is too small to guarantee security, but maintaining a large-scale garrison for a long time is also a heavy burden for the empire!"
”"You're right!"
Quan Xu said with a smile: "After the empire solves the Jiangnan problem, it is ready to reward meritorious heroes, civil and military officials can have knighthoods, and the Ming Dynasty itself will no longer be knighted, and all the nobles will be sealed overseas, I am ready, the earl's fief is a thousand fair kilometers."
The fief of the marquis is 5,000 square kilometers, and the duke is 10,000 square kilometers!
”Shen Mingze already understood the area of square kilometers at this time, and he still habitually converted it into acres, and the earl's fief was 1.5 million mu.It's almost equivalent to a large upscale county.The marquis is 7.5 million acres, and the duke is 15 million acres.Shen Mingze didn't quite know how big the world really was, so he tried to ask, "Your Majesty, is it much too big?"
Otherwise, the earl's fief is 150,000 acres, the marquis is 750,000 acres, and the duke is 1.5 million acres!
”Quan Xu nodded: "That's okay!"
”"A prince is set up above the duke!"
Quan Xu waved his hand and said, "The prince can establish an independent state overseas. ”The clan and meritorious officials were all sealed overseas, the nobles were in their own fiefdoms and had the power to collect taxes and rule, and the imperial court only retained diplomatic and military powers.Entering the wax moon, it is not far from the Spring Festival.The people in the north have begun to prepare for the Spring Festival, and the shops on the big streets have begun to be full of New Year's goods."
Your Majesty is ready to be knighted!"
