Liuxian County was once the territory of the Song Dynasty. After a sneak attack in the first month of the year, it was occupied by the Ming Dynasty.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of enemy territory should not and cannot be the base of the main camp, but it is not good to hold up the position?
Moreover, the Jin Yiwei of the Ming Dynasty were not vegetarians.
"Come in!"
In the Liuxian County Government Office, the British Duke had long heard the noise outside. When he heard the footsteps, he shouted directly without waiting for anyone to report.
"In humble position, Lu Tao, a member of the Royal Guards, pays homage to the British Duke!"
The visitor walked through the door and knelt down half-kneeling ten steps away from the British father. His eyes were never level during the whole process, always staring at the ground, lest he make any mistakes.
"I didn't expect a hundred households to come. Tell me, what happened?" The British Duke leaned on the Taishi chair with his arms folded.
The ninth year of gold and the tenth year of silver were the harvest season. Even if they achieved shocking results in August, the Ming Dynasty could not stop and wait for the autumn harvests in various places, and then make calculations after the autumn taxes were completed.
"Every household in the Song Dynasty reported...Li Gang blocked the Yellow River ferry...Han Shizhong stationed at Zuo Fengyi...Yue Fei's troops entered Hedong...According to this, it is expected that the Song Dynasty will launch a full-scale offensive in late September!"
Dishes, spies are hated by everyone, and anyone who is exposed will die, but today, no matter which company is a master of using saucers, it has truly achieved the beginning of the secret being known to the world if only three people know it.
"Not bad. Choosing this time to do it is quite different from the time we expected to do it, but this time is still a good choice. After all, winter is coming!"
"Of all the strategies, evil schemes are the most difficult to solve. Among all the weather conditions, the harsh winter is the most difficult for people. Even if we want to help, we can't help!"
"A million troops are pressing down on the country. No matter what, the Song Dynasty has no intention of delaying it. If it succeeds, it will not succeed!"
All the military officers in the Yamen spoke one after another.
Over the two hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of military-registered scholars were selected from among the nobles and local guards. This resulted in the Ming Dynasty's military not needing the help of scholar-officials at all, and even these military-registered scholars were doing things for their own benefit. He would also help the nobles suppress the nobles.
Listening to the analysis of the counselor below, the British public nodded frequently, "So, the question now is, should we help out when the cold winter comes?"
The territory of the Song Dynasty and the Wu Dynasty were all north of the Qinling Mountains, and there were severe cold weather in winter. It was just a matter of the length of time. Choosing this time to take action must be fully prepared.
But the Ming Dynasty was located southeast of the Qinling Mountains, and most maritime trade went south. Without preparation, the severe winter in the north was enough to stop the Ming Dynasty army.
In a sense, from the day when the domestic autumn harvest begins and the imperial edict stops the march, the Ming Dynasty's 300,000 troops who went abroad to fight will not take action this year.
"help!"
Liu Tao, the sincere uncle, said, "Not only do I want to help, but I also want to help a lot!"
"reason?"
The British public also wanted to help in his heart.
"Emotionally speaking, debts of gratitude are hard to repay, and our alliance with the Wu Dynasty will continue. Not to help will not only lose the truth, but also lose the reputation. Even if the Wu Dynasty has not spoken, most likely it will not speak, but we cannot care. !" Liu Tao laughed.
After a pause, Liu Tao continued, "Besides, realistically speaking, we can't help much even if we want to!"
"In that case, why don't you do something to show off? You don't have to do things, just show your attitude. Of course, in my opinion, this is just a bad idea!"
The British Duke nodded.
Indeed, it was September. Even if Ming Chao wanted to help, how much could he help?
Containing the Song Army, isn't this holding back?
Do the Yue family troops led by Xiao Yue on the opposite side still dare to run to Hedong?
If they dare to run, even if winter is about to come, the Ming army will definitely advance directly into Jingzhou and completely ignite the war in Jingzhou.
beat?
It's impossible to fight. There is no preparation and no effort.
The confrontation lasted for ten months. Let’s not talk about the casualties for the time being. People’s hearts have long been tired. No matter how elite the troops are, they cannot withstand the pressure of the war for ten months. Calculating the time, it is time to rotate.
"Just tell me the best solution!"
"The best strategy is simple. Send the supplies northward and send all the gunpowder, wound medicine, and leather armor that we don't need at the moment to the Wu Dynasty's troops stationed in Qinghe and Wei County!"
"It's not that Wu Dynasty cannot fight. The main thing it lacks is supplies, but the ability to carry out a protracted war. Through our many years of observation and the changes in the structure of the nearby Wu Dynasty, Wu Dynasty will most likely implement the ancient quick victory mode when facing this battle!"
Liu Tao talked eloquently, but caused several people to frown.
"Wait a minute, do you think Wu Dynasty will implement a quick victory strategy? What's the reason?" A general interrupted Liu Tao's words.
It's not that I don't believe Liu Tao, but I don't believe how Wu Chao dares to play.
The Wu Dynasty, which pursues quick victory, is invincible, but after victory, reciprocal backlash will come. Not to mention the Wu Dynasty, even the Ming Dynasty cannot bear that kind of price.
"It's very simple. The Wu Dynasty wants to develop and they want to innovate. I think everyone has seen the changes in the Wu Dynasty in the past year. Even if they haven't seen it, they should have heard the report from the family manager. It's hard to imagine fighting on two fronts. At the pass, the construction within the Wu Dynasty is not only continuing, but also expanding, as if the war does not exist at all!"
"Have you ever wondered why?"
Liu Tao knocked on the table, "The reason is very simple. The leaders of this generation of the Wu Dynasty no longer focus on one moment, but begin to make long-term plans, plan for the future, and form a consensus among the top and bottom. This kind of environment is very important for anyone." Dynasties are all good opportunities that can be sought but not met. If you miss it, you can do it again, but it is difficult to reunite the hearts of people who have been separated. This is just like when we opened the sea!"
"The goal is clear, everything that stands in the way will be kicked out and killed!"
"Just like when we went to war with Chu!"
The opening of ports to the sea was a major change in Kyushu over the course of thousands of years. From opposition at the beginning, to full participation in the mid-term, to everyone going to the sea in the later stages, the Ming Dynasty encountered many challenges during the process, but in the face of the pace of opening up the sea, it could face all challenges , everyone in the Ming Dynasty burst out with shocking resilience.
For the future, why future generations, for a better life?
They went on a military rampage, fighting Xuzhou in the north, Jiaozhi in the south, and rejecting Chu in the west. They did not hesitate to beat every family to death and burn yellow paper in the streets.
Those thirty years were the time when the Ming Dynasty had the most wars and the most brutal wars since the founding of the country. However, it was also those thirty years that led to the strong Ming Dynasty today.
"You mean, Wu Chao found his own way!"
Recalling that period of history, the British public naturally understands what Akito has paid for and what choices he will make when the warrior finds an opportunity.
"You are different from me. You have to face the people of the Song Dynasty, but I only need to receive the warriors. I have clearly felt the changes in the warriors in the past ten months, especially in terms of spirit, energy and spirit. Combined with the Jinyiwei report, this year, various places in the Wu Dynasty Everything has changed, everything is starting to turn for the better, and even the Wu Dynasty’s household department, which has always been stingy with money and food, has increased rewards twice in a row this year, which was unprecedented in the past!" Liu Tao explained.
