"Now that the water in the Yangtze River is dry and water wars cannot be fought, the Chu State will probably just do it. Since everyone is waiting for us to take action, let's take action!"
The current saint, Wang Shouren, the new prince of the Ming Dynasty, threw away the long pole in his hand, "Some people don't want us to have a good end of the year, so everyone doesn't have to celebrate the new year!"
"Celebrate the New Year? Celebrate the New Year!"
Zhu Fu, the Duke of Mingcheng, curled his lips and said, "After we take action, even if there is no covenant, given the character of the Great Sima of the Wu Dynasty, the Wu Dynasty will still take action in Taishan County. Now our two families will fight against one. The people of Song Dynasty still want to celebrate the New Year, so don't do it this year I didn’t get my annual gift, and ended up losing Xuzhou!”
"Fight after fight, there can be no problem with food. Jiaozhou has to press again. Borrowing food from Wu Dynasty is a stroke of genius, but Wu Dynasty has no food. Don't ruin the whole situation because of food!" Xu Guangzuo, Duke of Dingguo, looked slightly worried. .
Promises are easy to keep, but facts are difficult to keep.
He has not forgotten what kind of chaos Jiaozhou is now?
Jiaozhou is not the Huaihe River, and the Ming Dynasty court is really beyond its reach. With the Chu State causing trouble on the side, anything can happen.
In times of peace, half a month is fine, but in times of chaos and half a month of jet lag, the day lilies are cold.
"No, the food should be shipped out from Xujiagang first. Nothing can cut off the Wu Dynasty's food supply!" Zhengde suggested in a deep voice.
The Wu Dynasty's aid to the Ming Dynasty turned out to be even more absurd than the mouse in the drama giving New Year's greetings to the cat. If the Ming Dynasty did not repay the money afterwards, Wu Dynasty would be laughed at, but the Ming Dynasty would really have no friends.
"The Wu Dynasty may be short of food, which will be around June or July of the coming year. If the autumn harvest goes well, it will improve. If the autumn harvest does not go well..." Wang Shouren finally figured out the purpose of the Wu Dynasty taking the initiative to sign the alliance.
grain!
Everything about shipbuilding, the reconciliation between the two families, and Jeju Island are all just superficial.
What the Wu Dynasty wanted was food, and the warriors saw that there was a potential risk of severe drought in the Huaihe River. They predicted that in the next few years, the price of food in Kyushu, controlled by the Song people, would rise sharply, and as a result, the warriors would eventually foot the bill, so there was This inexplicable and strange visit came without any warning.
"So what can we do if we see it? There is no need to remind each other among the six countries. People do not take advantage of the fire to rob. This sincerity is enough. Besides, people who want food do not have to pay. Compared with other countries, how the warriors do is considered Very authentic!" Zhu Fu shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Cooperation will benefit both parties, and failure will lead to defeat for both parties. Regardless of whether there is a covenant or not, the Ming Dynasty will not be able to go back on it.
"Martial men have always been like this. They have their own intentions, but people are not considered human beings. If not for this, we would not have been able to keep the Wu Dynasty 40 years ago!"
Xu Guangzuo, the oldest person present, had experienced the war forty years ago, "Back then, the warriors fought very fiercely, and their blood was fully aroused. We were the last to arrive on the scene, and the losses were not big. We can continue to fight against the warriors, not to mention If there are too many, it is absolutely a problem to break up the three battalions of the Wu Dynasty. Once the three battalions are dispersed, the Wu Dynasty is not finished. Xuzhou Langxie, Bingzhou Hexi, and the entire territory of Qingzhou will be divided between us and the Song Dynasty!"
"This plan has received support from all parties, including the Song people who were the first to be defeated, and a 600,000-strong army was organized for this purpose!"
The Kyushu Conquest War forty years ago was the war with the largest number of participants, the largest scale, and the heaviest casualties since the end of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
The bloody spirit of warriors is completely useless in the face of the absolute gap in strength.
If you fight for one life and take one with you, all the forces can send three more to the front line. Moreover, the home field of the war is in the territory of Wu Dynasty. The longer the time goes by, the greater the gap in logistics will become.
"In the end, we didn't follow this plan. First, the warriors went completely crazy, and second, what the Song people did was too unreasonable!"
Hearing this, Wang Shouren nodded, "In that war forty years ago, I would have chosen to let go of the Wu Dynasty in the end. As long as the Wu Dynasty was around, the northern border would be at peace. If the Song people had succeeded, the alien races on the grassland would have been destroyed by now." Going south, cowards and cowards cannot control our Han territory!"
Song people are not only cowardly, but also useless.
The alliance to defeat Wu was formed by the Song people. Among all the forces, the first to be eliminated was also the Song people. They contributed the least and made the most fools of themselves. They also wanted to take a bite of fat. What good things were they thinking about?
"Forty years ago, the Wu Dynasty was jointly targeted. This is what I am most afraid of now!" Zhengde stared at the sand table with a hint of sadness between his brows.
"There is a riot in the Huaihe River. I am not afraid that the Song people will cause trouble behind them, but I am afraid that there will be people other than Song and Chu. The situation has changed in the past forty years. Except for the Wu Dynasty, every family has come out of that war!"
"The wealth on the sea is too eye-catching. A Ming Dynasty that is suffering from a hidden illness can make people feel fearful at best. But what I have done and accomplished over the years..."
People's hearts are unpredictable, and the ones who don't want you the best are often your enemies.
Forty years ago, the Song Dynasty held a Six-Kingdoms Theory, which brought down the Wu Dynasty, which had first shown its dominance over the Nine Provinces. At that time, the Wu Dynasty was strong, but it was only strong in military affairs, and its human strategy was also to start in the grasslands and then go south. It was far from To harm the interests of all countries, they can be joined together.
Today's Ming Dynasty is far more powerful than the Wu Dynasty back then, and it is also stronger in all aspects. It would be really crazy if someone didn't plot this.
"The Wu Dynasty was defeated because it had no allies. It was the Wu Dynasty's luck that the Liao Kingdom did not take action. But if the Liao Kingdom had reversed its attack, the outcome would have been completely different!"
Wang Shouren did not mention the alliance this time, but he mentioned the Liao Kingdom, which was the second strongest country and the greatest threat to military force in the war forty years ago.
The Liao Kingdom had a strong army and a superior geographical location. If he wanted to take action first, he could directly penetrate the Wu Dynasty's defense line at that time, unlike other countries.
There are many surprises in war, but the decisive thing is just that.
Specious allies can save the Wu Dynasty from a disaster. Now, real allies will bring many benefits to the Ming Dynasty.
"After the spring comes, the Wu Dynasty's envoys will come in again, and we can talk about other things then!" Zhengde agreed.
The military people need food from the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty needs the support of the Wu Dynasty. In order to comfort the overall strategy, the existing alliance must be further upgraded, both to reassure the military people and themselves.
…
boom!
Four days later, in the early morning, the Ming army's artillery fire and the rising sun lit up the eastern horizon together. Before the defenders could get any direction, the fireball with the tail of flames crashed down. The next moment, the solid iron balls fell and scattered into the Inside the city.
Some smashed into the city wall, and after the kinetic energy failed, they were deeply embedded in the city wall.
Some fell into the city, and several houses collapsed.
More went directly towards the city gate...
If one round fails, then two rounds, if two rounds fail, then three rounds, artillery fire and the sound of horse hooves coexist.
What kind of city is being besieged? Wouldn't it be better to rush in directly through the city gate?
The attack is just a surprise, the attack is intentional and unintentional, confrontation, the food and grass in the rear have been replenished, who is still confronting you?
If your illness kills you and you fail to take precautions, then you deserve to lose the city. Of course, people in the Song Dynasty can also engage in street fighting, but can they afford it?
Less than half a stick of incense, the heavy cavalry of the Ming Dynasty had already rushed into the city. The heavy cavalry and heavy armor came out from the city gate and quickly occupied every direction near the city gate. At the same time, the infantry quickly entered, and the artillery fire above their heads was fired towards the city. exhibition.
The artillery fire was like a signal, and without waiting for the Song people to organize themselves, a city defense battle was directly brought into street fighting by the Ming people.
