"Well, Li Dingguo has already arrived at Wuzhangyuan...Wu Sangui still dares to say that he is Cao Zhen? He is obviously Sima Yi!"
Emperor Zhu, who had just returned to Laoshan Palace in Yingtian Mansion from Tianjin, was sitting high in the Huangji Hall, holding a memorial from Wu Sangui, the governor of Gansu and Shaanxi, and smilingly saying words that made the ministers below him excited.
How did Wu Sangui offend Emperor Zhu? Why is he always called Sima Yi by Emperor Zhu? How scary these words are! Sima Yi is the rebel who started the Cao family rebellion! Could it be that Emperor Zhu suspected that the old Wu family wanted to imitate the Sima family? No way... How can the old Wu family have such ability? Wu Xiang is now sick and recovering at home. Wu Sanfeng was kicked to Heilongjiang. Although Wu Sanfu is a military advisor, everyone knows that he has no real power in his hands. Only Wu Sangui is leading the troops, but his troops are far away in the northwest, and their combat effectiveness is mediocre. He was sweating profusely when he beat Li Dingguo. How can he still be Sima Yi? Is it possible that the emperor also dealt with the number one relative of the old Wu family? Are you going to abolish Queen Wu Sanmei and let Zheng Chagu take over?
impossible? Isn’t the emperor’s national policy to govern the north and the south? In the past two years, as the wealth in the Southeast has increased, the political and military power of the Southerners has become stronger and stronger. How could Emperor Zhu replace Wu with Zheng at this time?
Compared with the stupid old Wu family, the Zheng family is more like Sima Yi...
Thinking of this, many northern officials began to look at the richest man Zheng from the corner of their eyes. The richest man is still the same, with a smile on his face and congratulations on getting rich. There is no surprise or surprise. As if he noticed the strange look in others' eyes, the richest man coughed, stood up from his seat, and began to speak: "Your Majesty, I think Liang Guogong followed Sima Yi's example of stationing troops to resist Zhuge's tactics, which hit the target of the rogue bandits. .”
"Really?" Zhu Cixi smiled, "Tell me about it."
Zheng Zhilong said: "Although I don't know about the military affairs on land, I have been in charge of the household department for many years and I am familiar with the money and grain household registration in the world. Moreover, I also learned about the money and grain household registration and financial system of the rogue and puppet dynasty from Jin Yiwei.
Although the rogue and puppet dynasty was poor and poor, they used the strength of the whole country to raise troops, and they had only one hole to gain, and they only wanted to fight. This is a country of tigers and wolves, stronger than Qin. But now the world is no longer the time for the seven heroes to compete for hegemony. The world is not divided into seven points, but nine out of ten belong to the Celestial Dynasty, and the rogue bandits are only Bashu and not related to China. Therefore, there is only the violence of Qin, but not the wealth of Qin.
Secondly, the world today is no longer the only continent of China. There is the West, Tianzhu, and the New World! Sea ships can sail thousands of miles and travel around the world. A powerful country can sail far away and expand its territory thousands of miles away. However, the rogue bandits were trapped in the mountainous areas of the southwest, without a good seaport, making it difficult to expand overseas and absorb the wealth of the world. Therefore, there is no room for the violence of Qin, but there is nowhere to extend it.
Therefore, rogue bandits are violent but not strong and cannot last long. If I attack quickly, the other party will fight with all their strength. Even if I can win, I will lose my vitality greatly and the gain will not be worth the loss.
Our dynasty's wealth is ten times that of theirs, and we can expand our territory overseas and take wealth from all over the world. What is inferior to that is that it is sharp but porous, strong but not violent. Therefore, it is conducive to durability and not conducive to rapidity.
The minister suggested that the imperial court should fight the rogue bandits for a long time, besiege them on all sides, and advance the fortress. They do not seek victory, but only a long time, hurting people with their own strength, and wearing out the enemy with a long time! "
Zheng Zhilong is a businessman, and he gave Zhu Cihong a trick using the idea of business-making a loss-making business, hurting others with capital, and bringing down the gangsters who made small profits at a loss!
"Sanfu, what do you think?" Zhu Cixiang is very familiar with the trick of hurting others, and the "fathers" of later generations like to play this trick the most! The two "dads" competed for money and burned all other competitors to death...
But now Zhu Cihong himself is "Papa Zhu", and the richest man in the Ming Dynasty and the second richest man in the Ming Dynasty are still in the same group with him - there is plenty of money to burn! Burn those pauper gangsters to death!
"Your Majesty, if you want to besiege on all sides, you can raise five armies!" Wu Sanfu breathed a sigh of relief. Emperor Zhu did not seem to doubt Wu Sangui's disobedience. "Now my brother Sangui is stationing troops in Baoji and Xi County. It is the first route; the two armies of Shang and Kong are stationed in Qishan, which is the second route; the first army is sent out of Xiangyang and invades Yunyang, which is the third route; the name Sichuan Town is used to leave Zunyi and threaten Chongqing, which is the fourth route; the Guizhou army is ordered to go out Pu'an and attacking Qujing are the fifth route.
The five-pronged army with half a million trumpets, all bluffing, building up a base step by step, slowly approaching, slowing down but not retreating, and persevering. This will definitely allow the rogue bandits and puppet dynasty to waste national power, and within five years, the land of Sichuan and Yunnan will be restored. "
You must not make any mistakes in this level! Therefore, Wu Sangui gave up the battle of Xihe long ago and ran back to Guanzhong with three infantry divisions and his Hexi cavalry for a decisive battle with Li Dingguo.
And Li Dingguo is not a fool, and he will not foolishly fight with Wu Sangui in the Guanzhong Plain. Wu Sangui's army was a mixture of horse, infantry and artillery. It couldn't move in the ravines and ravines, so of course it couldn't be used. If it really reached the level ground, why not lift up Li Dingguo's mountain soldiers and beat them?
If the Ming Dynasty's Pingliao War was still going on, Li Dingguo might consider fighting hard. But now that the Ming Dynasty has defeated Duni, only the Dashun country is left to resist the Celestial Dynasty in Jiuzhou.
So Li Dingguo didn't dare to fight any more, so he grabbed some food in Baoji County and Yi County before Wu Sangui arrived, and then retreated back to Monkshangyuan, Wuzhangyuan, Dashan Pass and Jinya Pass to defend - what kind of plains are they? It's not a plain, but a high platform, often dozens of meters above the ground. The top of the high platform is gentle, but the way up is very steep. It is easy to drive down from the Qinling Mountains, but it is difficult to push up from the Guanzhong Plain. Otherwise, Zhuge Liang would not be interested in it as a place to farm in front of the battle.
Li Dingguo climbed to the high platform, and Wu Sangui certainly would not attack immediately, so he could only build forts and dig trenches near Monkshangyuan, Wuzhangyuan, Dashanguan and Jinyaguan. Be invincible first, then strive for progress... He really looks a bit like Sima Yi. However, it was Wu Sangui who took the initiative to challenge, not Zhuge Li Dingguo of Dashun.
Li Dingguo originally wanted to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty's main force being used in Pingliao and gain a fortune in Guanzhong. Now the situation in the world has suddenly changed, and Dashun is fighting against the world with only one corner. The disadvantage is too great, and it is impossible to take advantage of it. But he can't retreat... As soon as he retreats, Dashun's decline will be complete. Wu Sangui must be chasing his ass into Hanzhong. Wu Sangui is not easy to mess with!
Therefore, the situation on the northwest battlefield has now changed from attacking and defending to a confrontation between the two armies.
Wu Sanfu was experienced in military affairs, and of course he knew that it would not be easy for Wu Sangui to attack Dashan Pass, Wuzhangyuan, Monk Plains and Jinya Pass. So Wu Sangui came up with this five-pronged strategy... to open three more battlefields in Huguang, Sichuan, and Yunnan to disperse the power of the rogue bandits. The rogue bandits claim to have 250,000 soldiers. There are about 100,000 soldiers on the Qishan and Guanzhong battlefields. There are about 50,000 soldiers on the Burmese side, and there should be another 100,000 soldiers in the country.
If Huguang, Sichuan, and Yunnan are attacked again, the rogue bandit forces will be tightened, and Li Dingguo may be forced to retreat. At that time, Wu Sangui might be able to take advantage of the situation and advance into Hanzhong.
Zhu Cixiang glanced at Wei Zaode, who had returned to the position of chief minister. The chief minister of Wei said: "Your Majesty can travel to Wuhan in the west and call it a personal expedition. In addition, you can also order the king of Rinan County to move troops to Siam to attack Burma and Lanna. This will be a crusade against the rogue bandits." The sixth way."
"Grand Duke Luo!" Zhu Cixiang named Grand Duke Luo, Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Grand Duke Luo said: "I think it is feasible for the Prince of Rinan to move to Siam, but we should not rush to send troops from Siam to Burma and Lanna. We still need to negotiate terms with Siam to avoid wasting troops."
"What conditions?" Zhu Cixiang asked.
"Burma is difficult to conquer, but Lanna is easy to capture." Luo Dagong said, "But who does Lanna belong to? What is the benefit of the Celestial Empire? I suggest that Lanna be transferred to Pattani, Songkhla, and Yuluo in the south of Siam. Land. Then move Jinghaijun into it, and then merge the current jurisdiction of Jinghaijun into Jinou Army."
