Zhu Gaojie had to admit that he was annoyed after being stabbed in the back by Southwest, and he became somewhat unscrupulous in doing things, even bringing out humanoid nuclear weapons like Bai Qi.
When he first traveled to this world, he was actually not that versatile. He knew nothing about marching, fighting or forming military formations. Many people have overestimated him. He is indeed a talented person, but he is not a monster. It is obviously ridiculous to expect that he can command tens of thousands of people to strategize for the first time.
Zhu Gao was a politician in his previous life, not a soldier.
But he was a wall hanging. Although he didn't know how to fight, someone taught him how to fight.
Whether it is Huo Qubing, Li Shimin, or Boss Cao, they are all the most accomplished military strategists in history. Zhu Gaojie has been constantly integrating with these personalities and inherited the combat experience of these accomplished military strategists.
Only Bai Qi and Zhu Gaojie have been resisting the integration with Wu Anjun. Although he has inherited some of the experience of Bai Qi's personality, he does not have the perfect integration with other personalities.
Because he is worried. After worry merges too deeply with Bai Qi, his inertial thinking will be distorted by Bai Qi. When fighting, he will fall into the same thinking as Bai Qi, using slaughter as his fighting style.
Not any era can withstand the coming of Bai Qi.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the total population was only 10 to 20 million. Bai Qi slaughtered more than 1 million by himself, almost killing the entire population of that era.
…
"Hey, why did you let Lao Bai out?"
In the world in his mind, everyone in Cao Cao was shocked, "With Lao Bai's appetite, he will not take action in a battle with less than 100,000 people. Once he takes action, he will rush to annihilate all the enemy troops. No young or old will be spared. All prisoners will be killed. Annan Province is not yours." Aren’t you afraid that Lao Bai will kill them all in your own territory?”
Even Ying Zheng couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Based on my understanding of Bai Qi, Lord Wu An usually doesn't take action. If he does, he won't come back unless he is killed to death. You let him out now, Have you ever thought about the consequences?"
Zhu Gaojie said calmly: "Southwest people have a rebellious nature in their hearts. They will not surrender unless they are taught a profound lesson. Compared with Lord Wu An, we are all too kind. What we think about when we fight is How to maximize profits, Mr. Wu An is different, he just rushes to kill people."
The strong wind started at the end of Qingping's life, and the historical situation is unpredictable. Bai Qi is not a person whose mind is controlled by killing. He must kill every time there is a war, and it is not because of his murderous nature.
He fought consecutive battles, and captured so many prisoners. How to deal with so many captives? With so many mouths open, King Qin couldn't afford to support him even if he sold his pants at a low price!
What's more, it's not as simple as food being unsustainable. Even if Qin had enough food, he couldn't take it all.
Thousands of captives can also be dispersed and collected because they are small and easy to digest. But how can tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of prisoners be digested in a short time?
Collect them and let them be good citizens? Isn’t this just nonsense?
How do hundreds of thousands of people move to the mainland? Where can we find such a large piece of land to house hundreds of thousands of young men? Scattered into dozens of regions?
This is simply impossible! Such a large number of high-risk livelihood projects could not be accomplished by the system of the Qin State at that time, and even the current Ming Dynasty could not accomplish it!
Even if it can be completed, what will happen if these people run away? These brothers have families. They have parents, wives and children in their own country. How can they be willing to start over in a different place?
Once these brothers run back and the dragon returns to the sea, within two months, the enemy will be able to organize hundreds of thousands of troops to fight Qin! And the battle that Qin State spent countless national resources to win finally fell short!
This time I tried my best to win, but what about next time?
How powerful a country can withstand such a torment?
The reason why the Qin State was able to win consecutive battles was not only because they had strong soldiers and horses, but more importantly, they had strong morale. The soldiers were all eager to fight. They fought because they could kill people, kill people, and get merit.
The first four levels of the twenty-level nobility system implemented by the Qin State can be said to be "life-threatening levels".
First level: sergeant.
Level 2: Superior.
Level 3: Hairpin Owl.
Level 4: No updates.
These four levels can indeed be promoted by killing enemies and obtaining their heads. Moreover, killing a few can lead to a level up. The speed of upgrading can be described as taking off on the spot. The soldiers of Qin became happier as they killed more. If he works harder, he can go to Luoyang to have dinner with Emperor Zhou.
Hundreds of thousands of Qin troops have come out to fight for so long, and seeing so many heads ready to lead the army, how can Bai Qi face these hundreds of thousands of Qin guys outside the tent who are like wolves and tigers!
In addition to these, there is another reason.
——People at that time did not have the concept of killing and surrendering!
Killing and surrendering unknown is a rule that later generations have perfected by learning from their ancestors.
Who are the ancestors?
Bai Qi is the ancestor!
He is the first top negative example of killing and surrendering in history!
Perhaps Bai Qi was not willing to kill at first, but under the inducement of various factors, he only had this way to go. The first time led to the second, and the third time... He was surprised to find that killing was really How wonderful, it turns out that many unsolvable problems can be solved so easily just by killing all the people.
It was like planting the seeds of massacre in Bai Qi's heart. War after war provided the seeds with rich nutrition, allowing the seeds to take root and sprout in Bai Qi's heart, and finally grew into a towering tree. , the branches and leaves are flourishing!
After he got used to using killing to solve problems, he became the biggest butcher in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. As long as he led troops, he would habitually use killing to solve problems.
After the Changping Battle, Bai Qi was no longer Lord Wu An, he was a human butcher!
This is also the reason why Zhu Gaojie is somewhat resistant to integrating with Bai Qi. He is worried that he will become a person like Bai Qi and use killing to solve problems.
…
Zhu Yuanzhang said leisurely: "I will drink from the golden cup together, but I will not spare you the sword."
This is what he said when he gave wine to Ru Taisu in the eighteenth year of Hongwu. Ru Taisu was the Minister of Household Affairs during the Hongwu period. Ru Taisu's answer at that time was: Dan sincerely seeks to serve the country and does not avoid the anxiety of the Holy Heart.
Soon after, the man died due to the incident.
Lao Zhu's reluctance was not a joke. When he gave wine to Ru Taisu, he might have grasped the handle. When Ru Taisu took the golden cup handed by Lao Zhu, the householder The minister is already dead.
Zhu Gaojie heard this and smiled slightly: "Grandpa knows me."
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Gaojie for a long time and sighed: "You look like a girl from the Xu family, and you are like me. It's a pity that you were born too late. In the thirty-first year of Hongwu, you were still a three or four-year-old baby."
We drink from the golden cup together, but we will not spare each other with the white sword.
Zhu Gaojie wants to declare to the world in the most cruel way that what I give to you, I can also take back. I give it to you to live, and I give it to you to die.
Now that I'm not happy, you can't be happy anymore.
…
Bai Qi just sat on the chair and glanced at everyone with calm eyes.
Wherever his eyes passed, he bowed his head.
They lowered their heads not because of the disparity in status, but because they did not dare to look directly at each other.
The look in his eyes was like a scene full of devastation after a tragic war, with broken limbs and broken weapons scattered on the blood and mud. The smoke symbolized the smoke of gunfire surrounding countless mountains made of corpses, towering into the sky. Clouds, blood and energy soar into the sky.
It's hell, it's deathly silence, it's the death that stalks the incubus and harvests the straw-like undead.
The eyes were calm, as calm as looking at a dead person.
Duke Mu Cheng of Guizhou was a little uneasy. There were many people present who were uneasy under the pressure of this deathly silence. No one was more uneasy than him.
Mucheng thought that His Highness was blaming him for his improper deployment and being dissatisfied with him.
In fact, Bai Qi didn't mean this at all. He had already restrained himself at this time. If he unleashed his murderous intent on these people present without any concealment, then these people would not just bow their heads.
"Yunnan Army, how many troops can be mobilized?
"
Bai Qi asked slowly.
Mu Cheng thought for a while: "Fifteen thousand..."
Bai Qi glanced at him: "Huh?"
Mu Li immediately changed his words and said: "Twenty thousand!"
Bai Qi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you sure?"
Mu Cheng gritted his teeth and squeezed out from between his teeth: "Twenty-five thousand Yunnan troops is already the limit. If there are any more, there will be problems in Yunnan."
His heart is bleeding now.
As Zhu Di expected when he was in Shuntian Mansion, the pressure on the Duke of Qian's Mansion from the last southern expedition was already great.
In the southwest, the climate is extremely complex, and armies from other places can exert very little combat power. Only the armies of Yunnan and Guangxi can still retain their complete strength. But in the last southern expedition, the Yunnan Army and the Guangxi Army served as the main forces, and it was these two provinces that suffered the greatest losses.
Guangxi's damaged troops will not be able to send troops again for another seven or eight years. As for Yunnan, although it is better, they still have to guard the local chieftains. This southern expedition will mobilize troops from them. If more troops are mobilized, let alone whether Annan Province can be taken back, Yunnan will definitely not be saved.
Bai Qi was not an unreasonable person. He calculated the number given by Mu Cheng in his mind and felt that it was not far behind: "Okay, then this is the number."
Before the stone in Mu Cheng's heart could fall, Bai Qi'er spoke with a hint of meaning, lifting the stone in his heart.
"You have practiced so that your body resembles the shape of a crane, and two scriptures are written under a thousand pine trees."
"I came to ask Wu Yu said, the clouds are in the blue sky and the water is in the bottle."
Not only Mu Cheng, but everyone present straightened their backs when they heard Bai Qi's words, not daring to take a breath.
It was clearly a monastic poem, but it sounded sonorous and powerful under this low voice, especially when he read "Water in a bottle" at the end. Although Bai Qi suppressed his voice, it lifted everyone's hearts. Come up.
…
Bai Qi is not a Taoist priest, let alone a literati. He does not know how to write poetry or cultivate immortality.
This poem is "Giving Medicine to Shan Yan Zen Master" by Li Ao of the Tang Dynasty. Bai Qi was from the Warring States Period. Of course he didn't know this poem, and he never learned about it in his mind.
[In view of the general environment,
This poem was asked by Zhu Gaojie.
Bai Qi asked with some confusion: "Why do you want me to say this poem to them? Does it have any deep meaning?"
Although he is not a literati, he is not illiterate either. He is a representative figure of military strategists among hundreds of schools of thought. However, it is obvious that Bai Qi has no academic research on poetry and does not understand it.
Zhu Gaojie said leisurely: "This poem has two meanings. From the perspective of Taoism, it is that there is no shortcut to Taoism. It is just that Taoism follows nature and comes naturally. The truth is on the clouds in the blue sky and in the water in the bottle. The Tao is in the grass. A tree, a mountain and a valley, and the Tao is in everything in the universe."
"What about the other meaning?"
"The other meaning was figured out by an old Taoist priest."
"Old Taoist priest?"
"An extremely smart but indifferent old Taoist priest."
Zhu Gaojie said slowly, "The second meaning is that if you want to be a tumbler under me, you have to do your job well under my roof. I don't have high requirements for you. Everyone should perform their duties and be safe." As long as you don't have any other evil thoughts, everyone can live in peace."
Bai Qi asked with great interest: "Is it that simple?"
"It's that simple."
"But when I look at them, they seem to be quite frightened. How can such a simple poem frighten them so much?"
"Because if they are disobedient, they will have to drink from the golden cup together, and they will not be spared."
The meaning of this poem is not that obscure, and the people who can sit in front of Zhu Gaojie in reality are also very powerful people, so they can naturally understand this truth.
The person who really puts pressure on them is the person who said the poem.
The person who says this now is
Bai Qi, and that old Taoist priest, was the wisest Emperor Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty.
…
"I still remember the slogan we often shouted when we rebelled against Qin, princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have their own kind."
Han Xin, who rarely spoke, looked at Zhu Gaojie and couldn't help but sigh, "Now it seems that this prince, general and minister is really talented."
After he got to know Zhu Gaojie, he finally understood how he died.
Those who know how to use power and tactics will make those who use soldiers like gods die in confusion without losing a single soldier.
When Ying Zheng heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "You said you were against Qin in front of me?"
A certain Qin Prime Minister Li Si, who did not want to be named, saw the aura of the First Emperor and quietly retreated behind everyone.
Han Xin coughed lightly, knowing that what he said had offended the wrong person, so he decisively disappeared and continued to pretend to be dead.
…
Bai Qi looked around at everyone and thought: "You all have decided on the general matters. The most important thing now is how to fight this battle."
He turned his attention to Pan Liao, "Do you know where the 19th Route Rebels in Annan Province plan to deploy their defense line?"
Pan Liao said with some embarrassment: "This... I left the meeting held by Li Bin halfway and didn't know much about it..."
Bai Qi's expression remained unchanged and he said, "I can give you a chance to reorganize your remarks."
Pan Liao, who had a strong desire to survive, immediately changed his words: "According to my speculation, they should deploy the main battlefield in... Dongdu!"
"Indeed, I think it should be the same."
Zhang Fu, who has a good understanding of the southwest, explained, "Dongdu is the old capital of Jiaozhi. It was formerly known as Purple City and Thanglong. Its land is wide and flat, and its land is high and refreshing. The Yuan Dynasty once invaded Thanglong and attacked Thanglong." He wreaked havoc and once set up the official position of Daru Hua Chi in Thang Long. Later, under the control of the traitor and powerful minister Hu Ji Yao, Jiaozhi moved the capital from Thang Long to Thanh Hoa, and called Thanh Hoa the Western Capital. The dragon is called the Eastern Capital."
But my Ming Dynasty attack... Well, after recovering the southwest, we changed the western capital to Qinghua Prefecture and the eastern capital to Jiaozhou Prefecture. Originally, it was planned to set the provincial capital of Annam Province in Dongdu, but in the end it was settled in Thanh Hoa. "
Using Dongdu as the main battlefield should be the best choice for the Southwest Route 19 rebels. However, I think it is unlikely that they will fight in the city. They should want to fight us in the Huanggao Forest north of Dongdu. "
