Seven Five Six Coping Strategies

    Another layer of concern lies in the people's hearts - the streets are relatively quiet now, and with their relationship with the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty, it is not difficult to get a permit to leave the city.  But precisely because most people can't leave the city right now, if they evacuate first, they will become particularly conspicuous.

    Once concrete actions are taken, the talk of "Short-haired abandoning the court and running away" will inevitably become popular. No matter how they explain that they are only evacuating some of the female family members, those who spread gossip or even create rumors will not care.

    ——The more sensational and provoking a topic is, the more attention it will attract. Modern people who have experienced the Internet age know this very well.  It is of course conceivable how the entire Ming court, including Emperor Chongzhen and high-ranking officials and dignitaries, would feel about this - it would definitely not be positive.

    "Our friendship with the Ming Dynasty will be greatly reduced, and it will be difficult to make up for it in the future."

    During the internal discussion meeting, Guo Yi used a game term to explain the consequences of retreat, which everyone could understand.  After banging on the table and pondering for a long time, Lin Hanlong asked again:

    "Does the rear base camp have any suggestions on this?"

    ——The ticking sound in their telegraph room has not stopped in the past few days, and they have always maintained high-intensity contact with the rear.  Chen Tao, who was in charge of this area, shook his head:

    "The base camp made it very clear: whether to leave or stay, the decision is in our own hands. In any case, they will give their full support, and the collective will bear the consequences."

    Lin Hanlong nodded and said nothing. It was not surprising that the base camp would say this.  This is related to the life and death of more than ten core personnel of the Qiong Navy, as well as a large number of close subordinates. Even the committee does not dare to give random orders, lest it bear the consequences of misjudgment, leading to tragedy.

    So they can only let their front-line personnel make their own decisions, and the rear-line personnel can only provide full assistance.

    After looking at the recording paper, Chen Tao added:

    "In addition, Pang Yu has led the main force of the third regiment to board the ship from Weihai and plans to dock in Tianjin. If we want to withdraw, we will go to Tianjin to meet them."

    "Wang Pu agrees to our troops landing in Tianjin?"

    "Not yet. In the name of merchant ship escort, Pang Yu will arrange for the troops to temporarily stay at our exclusive dock. After landing in person, he will go to interview Wang Pu. Wang Pu has been hanging around with them in Qiongzhou Mansion for so long, and it is with his own eyes that  Those who have seen their 'Qiongzhou Thirteen Taibao' way of doing things will not refuse."

    Everyone nodded secretly. The people on their side had a good impression of Wang Jieshan and believed in Pang Yu's methods. They felt that landing the troops should not be a big problem.  However, Wang Chen next to him suddenly interrupted:

    "But Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, is also in Tianjin during this time. Wang Pu may not be able to make the decision. Zhang Fengyi has no great friendship with us. It would be troublesome to use bureaucratic means to shirk it."

    Chen Tao nodded:

    "That's right, so Pang Yu sent a telegram, saying that it would be best if we could help get a name from the Ming Central Committee. Even if a powerful person in the court just said a word, it would be easy for him to convince the other party.  Much more.”

    "Hiss, it will be hard to talk about the retreat"

    Lin Hanlong frowned and said, human feelings are limited.  Now you go and say you want to evacuate and give us permission to leave the city.  Because of their past friendship, even if they feel unhappy, they still have to give him face.  But then you said that we also want to send an army to the Ming Dynasty capital to protect our property?  That is an act of overreaching and ignorance.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: There are very few so-called "powerful people" in the entire Ming Dynasty who can be used to convince the Minister of War.  Qian Qianyi may not be qualified, that is, Zhou Yanru, the first assistant, and Emperor Chongzhen himself have such face.  But these two people are not easy to deal with. The former is cunning and cunning. If you owe him a favor, you will be able to repay it easily in the future.  The latter was a fool who was easy to fool, but the emperor had a noble status and never dealt with them directly.  If you want to contact him, you must go through Qian Qianyi, Wang Chengen and other close ministers and chamberlains - and those people are not simple roles either.

    When everyone was at a loss what to do, a hand was placed on the table and tapped twice. It was not just a subconscious action like Lin Hanlong's, but a deliberate sound to attract everyone's attention.

    So everyone looked up and looked at each other - Old Jack, who rarely spoke in such discussions, made an exception this time.

    "Everyone, I think our discussion may have fallen into a misunderstanding."

    Old Jack didn’t show off, he went straight to the core when he opened his mouth:

    "We only considered the issue from our own standpoint, but we never thought that we are not actually the protagonists in this current turmoil."

      He pointed to his feet:

    "This is the capital of the Ming Empire, where their emperor, senior officials, and most important figures are located. For them, the life and death of us outsiders is actually irrelevant. Their own safety is the core issue."

    "Based on past examples, when those people encounter military threats, they will definitely mobilize all surrounding military forces to protect themselves. According to your custom, what is it called"

    "——King Qin."

    Chen Tao reminded from the side, and Old Jack nodded:

    "That's right, King Qin - that's what they did five years ago. So this time, I think they have no reason to refuse an army that flies the flag of the Ming Empire and has proven its combat effectiveness to come and provide assistance."

    Regarding Old Jack’s analysis, Lin Hanlong just shook his head slightly:

    "The truth is correct, but Jack, I think you may have overlooked one point - the Ming Dynasty has never really trusted us, just as we do not trust them. We both know this. Occupy Qiongzhou and send troops  Shandong, fighting in Liaodong they can tolerate these, and are even happy to see the results. But allowing the Qiong Navy to enter the Gyeonggi area I think they may not be able to accept it."

    "It depends on the development of the situation. If those uninvited northern barbarians do invade this core area, it will be meaningless for the Ming Empire to keep us out. Their reserved and conservative attitude will naturally change when the time comes.  Changes will be made.”

    "That means we shouldwait patiently at this stage?"

    Guo Yi folded his arms and muttered, and Old Jack nodded:

    "Yes, there is no need for us to jump out in a hurry at the moment. After all, it is just a rumor, and judging from historical records, the capital of the Ming Empire was not really threatened this time. Becoming actors on the stage too early is not good for us.  It’s no good—the last person to appear is the finale.”

    Everyone couldn’t help but laugh. Old Jack often accompanied his wife to the theater to listen to music during this period. It seemed that he really learned a lot.

    "In this case, our response strategy at this stage is to remain unchanged in response to all changes and remain unchanged for the time being. What do you think?"

    Lin Hanlong suggested, everyone thought for a moment and agreed to this idea.  The retreat plan was temporarily put aside.

    …………

    So in the next few days, Qiongshi Square was quiet and silent, with no movement.  Including Tianjin, after Pang Yu led his army to land, he met with Wang Pu, Zhang Fengyi and others. I don't know how he negotiated. Anyway, nearly 2,000 people from the third regiment were allowed to go ashore.  But they did not move forward, but just stayed in Xingang District.

    Originally, the agreement signed between Qionghai Trading Company and Tianjin Government included the provision of assistance in building military ports, barracks, forts and other military facilities.  The engineering department has a ready-made construction team working there.  Originally, construction of the military port area had not yet started because we had to focus on profitable civilian facilities first, but the land had already been planned.  After Pang Yu brought people over, he temporarily adjusted the construction sequence. With more than 2,000 strong laborers, and with the help of a professional construction team, a simple camp was quickly established to settle people, and a permanent camp was established.  Posture.

    Qiong Haijun can calm down here, but the Ming court cannot - just as old Jack said: They are the protagonists.  Although the chaos on the surface has been suppressed, the chaos in people's hearts cannot be achieved by martial law.

    Although the streets have been quiet these past few days, there are endless rumors.  Military intelligence reports are sent from the front every day, but the news coming is all kinds of things.  Some say that the Tatar army is still besieging Datong Prefecture, while others say that it has moved to Xuanhua. The most exaggerated statement is that Tatar reconnaissance cavalry were seen near Huailai, Yanqing, and Juyongguan In the capital, it can be said that there are three surprises in one day.  .

    The reaction of the Ming Dynasty court was like a headless fly. Every newspaper was required to be sent directly to the palace, where the emperor, chief minister and others would personally read it.  However, the content of these frontline newspapers was written by many different people, from the governor to the garrison, and was also mixed with secret reports from the local guard eunuchs Each of the frontline newspapers was only based on the partial information they came into contact with.  It's accurate, but it's also mixed with various exaggerations and inaccuracies due to timidity or selfishness. In short, it's a mess.

    "I now know what the fog of war is. This is simply a blind man trying to fathom an elephant!"

    ——Lin Hanlong, Guo Yi and others have not been idle these days and have been trying to find out the news.  Based on their current relationship with the high-ranking officials and nobles of the Ming Dynasty, as long as they do not make some difficult demands, such as a large-scale evacuation of Qiongshifang, or allowing Qiongzhen soldiers and horses to be stationed in the capital basically the Ming court can getAs for the first-hand information, they will soon be able to see the second-hand copy.

    "It's just that the more I read, the more confused I become - the content of these military intelligence reports is confusing and self-contradictory, far beyond the limits that normal people can imagine."  With the logical reasoning ability of a bunch of modern people, even Old Jack, a former professional soldier, used accurate maps from later generations to combine the contents of the reports, but they couldn't deduce the current situation.

    “Now we only know that the Hou Jin soldiers did invade the Datong area of ??Xuan Mansion, but the details of where they hit and where they are attacking are completely unclear, and it is impossible to outline an overview of the battle situation.
