Chapter 661

Since the siege of Nanjing City, Liu Buhe has carried out piecemeal contracting, and let several generals lead their troops to launch fierce attacks on Nanjing City day and night. Now for their Liu family army, they are also in a very critical situation.

If they could take this place, it would be equivalent to Zhu Yuanzhang, who took advantage of the chaos in the world and the chaos in the Central Plains, took Jiqing, and then took it as a base to conquer the four directions and dominate the world.

His Liu family's taking this place also has great strategic significance. The greatest significance of taking this place is that they can cut off the food and grass supply of the imperial court. This is the change of one situation and the other, which means that the imperial court is weaker and the Liu family is stronger, and the balance of victory will tend to them.

Now Daming is in the period of war and chaos. What's more, it is in the era of little ice age. The climate in the north is very poor, either drought or flood. Basically, it is a poor harvest every year.

The situation in the south is a little better, but it is also barely enough to eat and wear.

However, after they controlled the South and the grain producing area, they could meet their needs. In the Ming Dynasty, Su Song has always been ripe. It is enough to say that Su Song is now Suzhou and Songjiang, which is under the front of Liu Jun.

However, Liu bu also heard that Huguang is ripe and the world is full. The newly developed Huguang province is also a famous land of fish and rice. As long as the revenue here is guaranteed, it can meet the needs of the world. Therefore, after Liu Bu took control of the south of the Yangtze River, he went south to Huguang and conquered these places. As long as they have these places, they will become the basis of their hegemony.

Since his rebirth, he has been racing against time almost every day. He has always had a feeling that time is not with me. Once he can't prepare enough strength before the demise of the Ming Dynasty, it's really hard to say whether the world belongs to the Liu family or to JianNu and exile bandits.

Whether it was JianNu or the exiled bandits, it was a disaster for the Liu family, so he would try his best to race against time and hope to seize the opportunity.

If they can control Jiangnan and Huguang, it will be tantamount to seizing the first opportunity, standing in the upper hand and watching the world's heroes compete for the best.

Liu Bu was not the director of the attack on the battlefield, so he gave it to several generals under his command to take charge of the attack. After he set his own strategy, he was still responsible for the Quartermaster affairs with all his strength to ensure that his huge army had enough weapons and ammunition, could eat and wear warm clothes, It can be said that logistics supply is the key to winning the war.

Whether it's today or tomorrow, fighting or comprehensive national strength, fighting or logistics, you can't eat enough and wear warm clothes. How to fight with the enemy's tiger and wolf division?

Therefore, after encircling Nanjing City, Liu Bu began to delegate power and let several of his senior generals take charge of the siege. He himself went all out to supervise the logistics to ensure that there were enough food, salaries and ammunition to support the front line.

In order to support the besieged army, they mobilized nearly 5.6 million people to transport materials and grain for them. There are a sea of people outside the city. Every day, they transport a large amount of grain everywhere by manpower or canoe to ensure military supplies.

Therefore, it is indeed the key for the Liu family to lay down Nanjing. If they do, they can reduce the consumption in this regard. Now millions of people are here, and the consumption of horse chewing every day is very amazing. The Liu family also does everything they can to maintain this war.

Moreover, the Liu family is now using the army and has reached the limit. Almost all his mobile forces have been mobilized. If they can't fight here, they can only withdraw and take back. They also face terrible retaliation from the imperial court. At this stage, they can't retreat.

Beijing City

The current Beijing city can only be described as a mess. Since I heard that the rebels left the south of the Yangtze River and besieged Nanjing, it has become a mess. The imperial court has become a mess, and the capital has become a mess, because everyone knows what it means to them if they lose the South of the Yangtze River, which means that they have lost all their granaries.

Daming was able to maintain millions of armaments in the north and stationed millions of troops on the nine sides. It was all supported by artifacts and food in the south of the Yangtze River. If there was no food, could the capital, which did not produce food, continue to support, and ensure the needs of the nine sides.

If none of the nine important towns can support it, the defense system of the Ming Dynasty in the north will collapse, and the nomadic people will go south on a large scale and sweep the Central Plains. Where should they go?

Since I heard that Nanjing was besieged, the whole capital has been bombed. The ministers in the court talked about it one after another and had all kinds of opinions. Some suggested moving the capital immediately.

Because they realized that Liu Jun's siege of Nanjing was the key to the attack on Daming. Once here, the south of the Yangtze River fell and Huguang fell, Daming would not have enough food supply. There was no food supply in the capital. It was unsustainable. We must rely on the place where food was produced, otherwise we would collapse.

However, since emperor Chengzu, the practice of the Ming Dynasty has been that the son of heaven guards the country and the king dies. They must stay here to comply with the ancestral family law. If they leave without authorization, it is no different from losing territory and abandoning the ancestral family law.

Everyone knows that moving the capital decisively is a very good suggestion. On the one hand, it can get rid of the current dilemma.

His current capital is in a very embarrassing situation. It is equivalent to being attacked by JianNu and the Liu family. If the two sides squeeze it, it will crush them.

Moreover, the capital does not produce grain locally, but only a small amount of grain. It can not meet the needs of the capital and the important towns on the nine sides at all, so it must rely on external input. Now there is a lack of canal input, the capital is short of grain, and the shortage of materials in all aspects is extremely unreasonable, which is difficult to maintain.

So now, whether in military or civil affairs, it is in a very dangerous situation. If this situation is not changed, Daming is afraid to perish. Therefore, even if it is a very taboo and will be very annoying, the ministers in the court still put forward a proposal to temporarily move the capital to Luoyang.

Moving the capital to Luoyang can get rid of the dilemma of being attacked by JianNu and the Liu family. At the same time, the region is also a grain producing area, which can ensure the needs of the capital and allow them to deploy calmly and make a comeback.

As for another imperial Town, Xi'an, they will not consider it. After more than ten years of war, the Northwest has been very barren and very poor. It is impossible to maintain the huge situation of the imperial court. So many people eat, drink and Lhasa, which can not be maintained locally and need external input, which is no different from Beijing.

It can be said that Daming has now reached the critical juncture of life and death. If it is not considered, it will be doomed.

At this point, all the people in the court blamed all this on the weak leadership of the head Fu Wen Tiren. Wen Tiren is a traitor, which is recognized by the government and the public. Many people believe that if there was no such traitor here, so many things would not have happened.

Therefore, Wen Tiren returned home after the early morning of that day and received a decree, which was a few words. It said that the emperor agreed to his request to resign and granted him permission to return to his hometown.

Wen Tiren is very angry and sad. When did I write to ask for a return to my hometown?

For these clean officials, their morality is flawless and their integrity is very noble. As long as someone dares to impeach them, they dare to hang the crown on behalf of them to show that they have a clear conscience and are not afraid of the shadow. Such a style is the practice of a gentleman and the style of a minister in the court.

However, Wen Ti Ren has never been like this. If others impeach him, he dares to come back, which is against the gentle wind of leaders and ministers.

Wen Tiren was so obsessed with fame that he wanted to be old and die in the capital. Therefore, unlike those old ministers, he always wrote to resign and wanted to return home. In fact, this was only a means of threatening the emperor, or taking advance as retreat and retreat as defense.

Now the emperor actually approved him to return to his hometown, which made him very angry and angry. I never wrote a letter. Why should I say that?

But Wen Tiren also knows that the general situation is over now. All his scenery and honors are given by the emperor, which is out of grace. If the emperor no longer trusts him and doesn't use him, it's useless for him to struggle and jump. Now the emperor is impatient with him. If he wants to drive him away, he has to go if he doesn't go.

When he thought of this, Wen Tiren was very worried. He had been the first auxiliary for so many years, but he offended many people. Many people hated him. He thought it would not be so fast until he stepped down for liquidation. He had to do it for at least ten or eight years, and he would step down only after he had been deployed in a tolerant manner.

Who knows that all this came so fast and caught people off guard. He didn't have any measures and no backhand. The emperor directly dismissed him.

According to his position, if such a high-ranking official retires, the emperor will give high-ranking officials and rewards, and will give him a title. Generally, he will be anxious for three public officials, and then let the officials of the Ministry of rites send him back to his hometown, so as to complete the last dignity of an old minister.

But the Emperor didn't even talk about the last bit of dignity. He directly asked him to go away without promoting his official, adding his title, or any reward. As for the pedestrian official who sent him back with the wind and scenery, it's even less. It can be seen that he has become a useless garbage and useless waste in the eyes of the emperor, The Emperor didn't want to leave the last dignity with him.
