- Zhong Chang, who was next to him, also knew a lot about military affairs. He shook his head after hearing this: "If Shiwei fights desperately, I'm afraid Ningyuan won't be able to support it for two months. Compared to Jinzhou, they are still weaker."
"There is no other way but to ask them to persist." Zhou Zhixiao here also agreed with Ge Songdao: "If they can't persist, then there is nothing we can do to save them. After all, the situation in the world is so urgent. We can't just because of one place. And let the whole line collapse!¡±
"It seems that the key to success or failure this time is whether Jinzhou City and Ningyuan City can be defended?" Emperor Jinghe said in a deep voice.
"yes."
Zhou Zhixiao first said.
"Then can it be defended?" Emperor Jinghe asked again.
No one answered.
After a while, Prime Minister Cao Yi opened his somewhat cloudy eyes and nodded slowly: "Yes!"
"Why?"
"Because I believe in Liao Shicong. Liao Shicong is fair and honest. He has been an official in the three northeastern provinces for the past twenty years. He has shared the joys and sorrows with his subordinates and is deeply loved." Cao Yi said slowly, "I also believe in Zhang Tie, unless it is Jinzhou City. No one can stand up, otherwise Jinzhou City cannot be taken away from Zhang Tie's hands.
I still believe in Li Nanyuan. Although many people criticized Li Nanyuan for being arrogant and overbearing, but Li Nanyuan knew rewards and punishments clearly. He always took the lead in marching and fighting, and dared to attack. He was the best general of Xiong Quwei in the past twenty years.
With him coordinating at Shanhaiguan, even Ningyuan City, which is the weakest link, should be able to receive the best care and ensure that it will not fall. Even in the worst possible outcome, we can still maintain the Shanhaiguan line of defense. This is the bottom line we can still adhere to. "
Although Cao Yi is so old and has suffered many blows recently, his knowledge, insight, and understanding of people are at the peak of his powers.
He did not dare to know all the ministers in the court, but he definitely knew them very well and knew their characteristics.
At the critical moment of Dakang's life and death, Cao Yi naturally had to stand up and give confidence to the emperor, his colleagues, and everyone.
Even if he lost almost half of his land, what was left was still his capital to pass on to future generations!
How could it be possible to give it to those barbarians cheaply?
When Emperor Jinghe and the ministers heard Cao Yi's words, their expressions became slightly more relaxed.
But the next moment, Ge Songdao added: "If possible, we should mobilize as many troops as possible to Shanhaiguan. Li Nanyuan only has 50,000 people in his hands, and his defensive capabilities are sufficient, but if he wants to attack, he may have some scruples. .¡±
Emperor Jinghe asked: "Where can I get it?"
"Let's mobilize 10,000 people from the Forbidden Army reserves." Ge Song said, "Aren't there still 10,000 people left? Let them go to support the most tense places!"
"How can this be done?" Ma Haoqiu shook his head and said: "Now there is only 40,000 troops stationed in the Imperial Palace led by Jin Wuwei General Jun Kaiyue, 20,000 of whom are reserves. If you transfer 10,000, wouldn't it mean that there are only 30,000?"
"There are still 4,000 Niu Guards, 8,000 Yulin Guards, and hundreds of thousands of strong men who can be summoned at any time, which is enough." Ge Songdao said lightly, "I will be responsible for guarding the city when the time comes. Your Majesty and everyone can I will leave first under the escort of the Yulin Guards, I will never let them occupy the capital easily."
"That's not what I meant." Ma Haoqiu shook his head, "Are you, Ge Honglian, the only one who can die for his country? I won't leave then! It's just that this Gyeonggi area is the symbol of our empire and the most prosperous area. There can be no mistakes!"
"Prime Minister Ma, don't worry too much." Ge Songdao said, "The safety of the capital is very stable. The key is Shiwei's side This is just the first step. After two months, I hope to mobilize another 100,000 troops from various places. Fight to the death with the Shiwei people, thus completely giving up their idea of ??annexing our territory! If you are not willing to kill these wolves, they will only get worse."
Ge Songdao¡¯s last words made Emperor Jinghe¡¯s blood boil.
The emperor stood up and said, "Okay! Then let's deploy another five thousand Yulin Guards as preparations!"
"Your Majesty!?"
This time even Cao Yi was stunned.
There are only 6,000 official Yulin Guards, and half of them, 3,000, are on duty at the northwest, north, and northeast border gates. Now they are also there, unable to move.
Then there are only 3,000 Yulin Guards left to protect Emperor Jinghe, and the remaining 5,000 Yulin Guards in reserve have doubled their training and preparations in the recent period.
They are preparing to open a bloody path for the emperor, the royal family, and ministers as a last resort.Grain production in the Ji region is also rising. Nangong Ji said another piece of good news: "After two years of unremitting efforts by Shuang Yatou and the others, the water conservancy and irrigation in the Gyeonggi area has reached the best level since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Last year's grain output increased by 30%, and this year it is expected to increase by another 50%." The success rate is almost double that of previous normal years! "
"real?"
Emperor Jinghe was surprised and surprised, "How come there are so many? Our cultivated land has not increased much, has it?"
"It's mainly the victims who have made use of all the available land." Nangong Ji said, "In addition, Your Majesty allowed them to settle down and establish a business here. They are also very energetic. Not only are they planting wheat and rice in the fields, they are also very energetic. In addition, many vegetables, fruits, and poultry are grown, which not only does not place a serious burden on us, but also makes the Gyeonggi region full of vitality!"
"Thank God!" Cao Yi next to him couldn't help but say.
Because of the locust disaster in the past two years, as many as one million people have fled to the Gyeonggi region.
These people have all been absorbed by the Gyeonggi area, and 300,000 of them are around the Imperial Capital.
The population of the Gyeonggi region originally numbered more than nine million. With the addition of one million people, it has exceeded ten million.
Originally, it was a lot of pressure. I felt that as long as the disaster stopped, these people would leave.
But who knew that due to various water conservancy repairs, city defense engineering repairs, road construction repairs, etc., all the young people have been busy in the Gyeonggi land in the past two years, and their families also participated in the "briquette workshop of Prince Yu's Mansion" ", plus opening up wasteland for planting In the end, he actually didn't want to return to his hometown and wanted to stay in the Gyeonggi area.
If it weren¡¯t for the fact that they couldn¡¯t spare any money in the past two years, Cao Yi and the other prime ministers would have been prepared to force them to return to their hometown.
But now after hearing what Nangong Ji said, Cao Yi suddenly felt that it might not be a bad thing for these people to stay in the Gyeonggi area.
After sighing, he mused: "They have hundreds of thousands of young men, are they still working now?"
"exist!"
Vice Prime Minister Ge Songdao also served as the governor of the Imperial Palace. He said: "Since the Spring Festival, half of them have been repairing and expanding the roads to Shanxi. Even those roads are official roads and are in disrepair. The remaining half are due to With the current possibility of military disaster, we are actively repairing the prefectures and county towns around the Gyeonggi area!"
"Then let those who are building roads in Shanxi come back!" Cao Yi said: "Let them continue to repair the surrounding cities. If the enemy comes, they can enter the city nearby as a defense With their families here, they want to come I won¡¯t stop working hard.¡±
Ma Haoqiu nodded and said: "Yes, they have worked for so many years, and Shuang Yatou has given them good treatment. They have fish and meat for every meal, and they are as strong as calves, used for defense." No problem at all.¡±
Everyone, including the emperor, couldn't help but smile.
In order to ensure that the young people who fled here could have enough to eat while working, Wu Yeshuang often arranged tables with people from the Ministry of Revenue, and even went to Miao Yan's place to make trouble.
In this world, there are almost no people who dare to make unreasonable troubles with Miao Yan, but when Wu Yeshuang made such a fuss, Miao Yan really had no choice but to admit defeat and allocated a lot of extra food and money for Wu Yeshuang to use.
And this group of young and strong labor force receives a high salary of one hundred cash per day.
So even if they are very tired and hard, and they are not at home for only one or two months a year, they may be able to feed themselves and their families, but these men do not find it unbearable to do anything.
After two years, they were well-nourished and naturally became the strongest young men. It would be a waste for such men to defend the city. A few months of direct training would be more than enough to make them sergeants.
Sure enough, Ge Songdao spoke next, "Not only do we need to enter the city defense, but we also need to strengthen their training. These people can be used as our reserves. Once the northwest is in a tight spot, they can be filled in immediately!"
"Okay! Xi Guang, you will be responsible for this."
Emperor Jinghe thought for a while and agreed.
"Compared to the tens of millions of lives lost in the Gyeonggi region, the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of people is still helplessly meaningful.
Zhou Zhixiao also understood this and nodded in agreement.
