Wanli 1592

Chapter 798 Vulnerable

Li Rusong, Chai Guozhu.

They are indeed fierce generals, but so what?
Li Rusong and Chai Guozhu were not stupid, no one knew what decision they would make at that delicate moment.

Xiao Ruxun looked at the map and thought for a while.

"If I cut off the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, Shen Yiguan will definitely send the main force to the south to seek a decisive battle. At this moment, the defense of the capital will not be so tight, will it? If I use a navy to attack Tianjin Wei at this time, I can directly threaten the capital, even if I can't If you take it down, you will also be able to cut off the retreat of the old thief's troops going south!"

Yuan Huang and Mei Guozhen were taken aback for a moment, then looked at the map and found that it was indeed the case.

"Navy's skillful use has reached such a level, I've even underestimated the Navy!"

Yuan Huang sighed a little.

"Then what if Shen Yiguan is prepared? He sees my navy attacking the land from the southeast, will he be prepared for my navy to attack him again from Tianjin Wei? If he is prepared, wouldn't it be bad? "

Xiao Ruxun shook his head.

"There is no general in the world who can win battles only by sneak attacks."

Mei Guozhen blinked, and suddenly realized that Xiao Ruxun himself was the most capable general in Ming Dynasty.

"So what if Shen Yiguan is prepared? How many troops can he deploy to deal with our land and sea attacks at the same time? He doesn't have a navy. Except for the Guangdong navy that can pose some threats to me, how can there be any established formations along the coast of Daming?" Can the navy be compared with my Zhennan navy? He can't stop me at sea, let alone stop me on land!"

Xiao Ruxun punched Tianjin Wei's position, and said viciously.

Mei Guozhen and Yuan Huang had no objections.

It just feels like this, Shen Yiguan is quite vulnerable.

Indeed, compared to Myanmar, Daming is very large and strong, but this is also the Achilles heel of Ming. The grassroots government of Ming is too weak to mobilize its huge human, material and financial resources into national power.

The mobilization power of the ancient Chinese government was the strongest in Qin and the early and mid-Western Han Dynasty. Qin’s mobilization ability can be regarded as the best in ancient China. It swept the six Shandong countries with the power of one country, which is enough to prove that Qin’s war mobilization ability was at its peak.

In order to fight against the Xiongnu, the Western Han Dynasty mobilized the whole country to make the Northern Expedition. The high-intensity war for more than ten years led to the halving of the domestic household registration. Even so, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to launch the decisive battle in Mobei at the end, so we can imagine the war mobilization ability of the Western Han government. is how strong.

On the other hand, Daming has a population of over [-] million and the special skills of a silver black hole. It has such a solid foundation, but it can't have the corresponding national strength to deal with a group of rogues and the Man Qing with a population of one million.

And this is precisely the dead end that Shen Yiguan and the others created for themselves.

They overthrew Ming's grassroots regime in the local area, regarded the local area as their own independent small kingdom, and became local tyrants and wealthy landlords in the local area. In Yurou Township, they resisted taxes from the Ming government and opposed any decision made by the imperial court to increase the grassroots government for decades. , from the central government to the localities, there is no objection.

Only the central government can mobilize the power of the whole country, and when the power of the central government is weakened, can the country mobilize?
The Ming Dynasty has come to the present, and the local gentry has been controlled by the gentry. They are the real local government, but can they mobilize for war?Can they do census and manpower organization?Can they protect the environment and the people against foreign humiliation?
They just want people to work for them like livestock and make a profit for them.

War mobilization requires the cooperation of various departments of the state and local governments, and the gentry class, who control local land, property and human resources, empties the Ming government at this level, so the huge human, financial and material resources are their private property. It is destined not to be turned into their combat power.

To fight is to ask them to bleed, will they agree?
The butcher's knives of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties are all around their necks, how many of them have put them into action?
Yan Yingyuan is one of them.

So they played themselves to death.

This is the fundamental reason why Xiao Ruxun is not afraid of the gentry class. In terms of combat power, they are not Xiao Ruxun's opponents at all.

Although their manpower, material and financial resources are a hundred times that of Xiao Ruxun's, I don't know if there is even one percent of the resources that can be used to fight against Xiao Ruxun, just like the ridiculous things they will do under the threat of Li Zicheng and Man Qing in the future as stupid as it is.

Xiao Ruxun's intensive arrangement and the joint action of Deng Zilong and Liu Ting, and in Guangdong and Guangxi, the Heishui sent by Xiao Ruxun also successfully connected with Chen Lin and Cen Dalu.

Chen Lin and Xiao Ruxun fought side by side, and made great contributions in the water battle against the Japanese pirates. After the war, they continued to lead the Guangdong Navy, but in fact they commanded the Guangdong Navy to act as the national navy of Ming Dynasty.

After the war ended, the Ming government had no intention of rebuilding the navy at all, so they handed over hundreds of warships stripped from Xiao Ruxun to Chen Lin, and asked Chen Lin to command them. Because there was no war, the navy had no tasks, and gradually It was wasted.

Chen Lin was also quite helpless.

Generals are only useful in times of war, other times they are useless in the eyes of the civilian government.

Obviously, Chen Lin is idle now, and the navy has no place to play. If this situation continues, General Chen will really die of depression.

After a long time, not only him, but the entire navy was bullied in Guangdong, and it was common for them to be deducted from their salaries.

At that time, Xiao Ruxun was very prosperous in Burma, and he was also a celebrity in front of the emperor. Chen Lin used to fight side by side at his age, so he asked Xiao Ruxun for help, and Xiao Ruxun also agreed to help him clear it up.

Dredging is naturally effective. The situation of the navy has improved significantly, but without war, the navy will continue to decline, and there is no future in sight. Chen Lin even plans to find another job, and wants to find another job through Xiao Ruxun's relationship. The Minister of the Ministry of War will take care of it, and he is about to write a letter!

But at this time, the situation changed suddenly. News came from the capital that Xiao Ruxun rebelled and conspired to usurp the throne. Fortunately, Shen, the deputy assistant of the cabinet at the time, stopped him. , became the Supreme Emperor.

The news hit Chen Lin's head like a bolt from the blue.

Like almost everyone else, it took him a long time to realize that this really happened.

The emperor changed, and Xiao Ruxun died.

Chen Lin's situation is obviously about to undergo a drastic change.

Chen Lin is not only good at water warfare, but also good at analyzing the current situation. He knows that after Shen Yiguan takes power, he will inevitably clean up Xiao Ruxun's remnants. They will all become Shen's consistent targets, and it is almost impossible for anyone to escape.

Jiubian might be a little bit better. After all, it is an important town. As a naval admiral and he doesn't fight, he must be the first to be killed.

Chen Lin began to panic all day long.

Until he was contacted by the emissary sent by Xiao Ruxun.
