Virtue Pavilion.
Wu Nian was wearing purple robes and sitting on the throne. On the left and right are two Goguryeo eunuchs with fair faces and no beards, standing with whisks in their hands.
In front of him were the three cabinet ministers Liu Zhixing, Li Yong, and Zhang Haiping, as well as the imperial city chief Chen Jiagui, generals Zhang Sheng, Wang Gui, Zhao Mancheng, Li Yunchong and other military generals.
Everyone stood in civil and military positions, and the scene was solemn.
"Gentlemen, the purpose of coming to you today is very simple. I want to take back Huanglong Mansion, fulfill my long-cherished wish to expel the Tartars and regain Liaodong."
Wu Nian raised his head, his eyes bright, scanned the crowd, and said in a deep voice.
Expelled the Tartars and recovered Liaodong.
Because of these eight words, countless people responded to Wu Nian's call and joined the army. After more than ten years of hard work, the Han Dynasty was finally established.
These eight words seem to have magic power.
Except for Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng, almost everyone present was excited.
Immediately, Wu Nian turned his attention to Liu Zhixing, the chief assistant.
Liu Zhixing cupped his hands, and then said in a deep voice to everyone: "According to the news from the Imperial City Division, Chunyuan has already replenished one ten thousand households. His name is Jin Xuanyun. He is a relative of the Jin clan. He is very young, brave and good at fighting."
"We took the time to attack Goguryeo and swallowed up a land twice the size of Liaodong. We became fat in one bite. But the Mongolian people are not standing still."
Zhang Sheng pinched his chin and said.
"In total, we have developed faster. Let's not talk about the money, food and supplies from Goguryeo. Just talking about soldiers, we have two more Goguryeo households, General Zhao and General Li."
While Wang Gui was speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng.
Li Yunchong is also a talented general, and Zhao Mancheng is even more like a snow unicorn. With ten thousand enemies, he will definitely not be worse than Meng Yuan ten thousand households in a fight.
When Li Yunchong and Zhao Mancheng heard this, they immediately clasped their fists and saluted Wu Nian: "Your Majesty, after this period of training, our army has become elite enough. It is ready to go to war at any time."
Wu Nian smiled and nodded and said, "Okay. The morale of the two generals is high, which is very good. But there is no need to worry. Now we are just discussing the battle, not sending troops."
"We'll have to wait a little longer."
Zhao Mancheng and Li Yunchong selected the strongest among Goguryeo's surrendered troops and obtained two soldiers of ten thousand households. Although the two of them had outstanding abilities, Wu Nian still felt uneasy.
The longer a soldier trains, the more elite he becomes.
"Just now we talked about the military accounts. Meng Yuan has one more 10,000 households, and we have 20,000 more households. Let's talk about the economic accounts."
Wu Nian said this, with a smile on his face and eyes, and said: "Before, the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty united with Goguryeo, Fusang, and Chu to ban our maritime trade."
"Now that we have obtained the land of Goguryeo, let alone maritime trade, we have directly organized the commerce of the Jiufu land into a large circle and integrated it."
"Currently, Navy Admiral Li Tianbao and others are also in conflict with the Fuso Navy, and both sides are winning or losing. Now our maritime trade with Chu is gradually recovering. Various specialties from Liaodong and Goguryeo can be sold at good prices. "
"On the contrary. The Mongolian people are having a hard time. There are powerful enemies to the west, and the southern land route is blocked by us. The valuables such as Haidongqing, Dongzhu, and Changbai Mountain ginseng in their hands are either sold to us at low prices. Or Keep it in your hands."
Having said this, Wu Nian finally laughed and said, "Now we are blocking them."
Meng Yuan does not have an outlet to the sea, but it does not have a freeze-free port. It's a long winter and there's no icebreaker, so we need to close down.
and. The Mongolian Yuan Dynasty did not have a navy, and now it was blocked by the Han Dynasty.
This is completely different from the Liaodong Jiangmen period.
At that time, for example, Ban Bian Zhang resold military supplies and food to the Mongolian Yuan. The generals in Liaodong were troubled by raising tigers.
Now.
Hedong in thirty years, Hexi in thirty years.
Wu Nian grabbed Meng Yuan's neck with his backhand. The biggest advantage of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty now is their military capabilities.
Economic ability is not worth mentioning.
"Hahaha."
Zhang Sheng was so happy that he burst into laughter.
Liu Zhixing glanced at him and he immediately shut up.
"I have lost my decency." Zhang Sheng bowed and saluted.
"Okay, they are all brothers." Wu Nian also smiled.
Although he keeps saying that he cannot be a grassroots team, brothers are still brothers.
Liu Zhixing looked at the monarch and his ministers, but said nothing more. Of course Zhang Haiping and Li Yong would not say anything.
After laughing, Wu Nian looked at everyone again and asked: "How is it? Now they have tens of thousands of households guarding Huanglong Mansion. Guard. They still have an advantage. How can we eat this hard nut?" Your Majesty, you can speak freely. I forgive you."
This question stumped everyone.
Ten thousand households guard six cities, and on average they can be divided into almost two thousand households. The combat effectiveness of the Meng Yuan Wanhu generals is self-evident.
What's more, defending the city?
On weekdays, they also thought about how to attack Huanglong Mansion. But we came to the conclusion that there was only one way to attack by force. And if we attack by force, everyone can think of it, and it certainly doesn't count as a strategy.
Li Yunchong showed hesitation.
Wu Nian's eyes were burning, and he immediately looked at Li Yunchong, and said with a smile: "Uncle Li. Don't hide and be clingy, just say what you have to say."
Both Wen and Wu turned their heads to look at Li Yunchong.
Li Yunchong did not hesitate anymore and said: "The king and the Meng Yuan people are hostile, and they are at odds with each other. They are like water and fire. To attack the Meng Yuan city is to massacre the city."
"There are no Mongolian prisoners left on the battlefield."
"I think this is a mixed bag of good and bad."
"The good thing is that it can strengthen the determination of both the government and the opposition to fight the Mongolian people to the end."
"But the disadvantage is that apart from battlefield tactics, other strategies are not easy to use. For example, alienation and inducement to surrender. And the war is all together. The Mongolian people know that there will be a dead end after defeat, and they will persist in the war that should have been abandoned."
"The art of war. Surround three and one is missing. The besieged city must be given a way out, and the defenders will be shaken."
After finishing speaking, Li Yunchong hugged Wu Nian and bowed his head deeply.
Although Wu Nian just said that you can speak freely and be forgiven. But he knew he had hit a bottom line.
The Mongolian, Yuan and Han dynasties were at odds with each other.
But since he became Wu Nian's general, he had to try his best. In his opinion, Wu Nian's actions of killing prisoners and slaughtering cities and genocide were very irrational.
This drives everyone to a dead end.
Turned all the Mongolian people into poor bandits.
Poor bandits are not easy to deal with.
It is better to treat the prisoners preferentially and leave a way for the enemy to survive.
In this way, the means of war can be ever-changing.
The smile on Wu Nian's face disappeared, and so did the smiles on the faces of the Han civil and military people present. Everyone else took a breath and looked at Li Yunchong.
This General Li is so brave.
It actually touched the king's bottom line.
