Zhu Yuanzhang did everything vigorously and resolutely.
Either don’t do it, or do your best if you do it.
If you want to achieve complete victory, it will not happen overnight. You must be prepared for the long term.
Destruction is ten thousand times faster than construction.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's long-term plan, the victory of the uprising is no longer the most important thing.
If he develops according to his plan, he will definitely be the winner in the competition among the heroes.
He was planning what would happen in at least ten years, and he faced it in advance.
Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste.
This time, Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to his education plan. Otherwise, he would not let Zhu Sheng be responsible for this matter.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, Zhu Sheng's status was second only to Liu Bowen and higher than Li Shanchang.
Zhu Yuanzhang was reviewing his experiences since joining the army.
It has been more than four years since he took refuge with his adoptive father, Marshal Guo Zixing, in March of the 12th year of Zhizheng. He is already twenty-nine years old this year!
Now it is the sixteenth year of Zhizheng, and the general trend of the world is that there is Dayuan in the north, Li Siqi, Ming Yuzhen in the west, Zhang Shicheng in the east, Chen Youliang, Chen Youding, and Fang Guozhen in the south.
These are all treasures of Zhu Yuanzhang's family.
Now Zhu Yuanzhang has no plans to start a direct war with Chen Youliang. What he wants to do is to consolidate and expand his territory.
Looking at the map of China in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang drew a series of place names.
Guangde, Changzhou, Ningguo, Jiangyin, Changshu, Huizhou, these are all he wants to capture.
Although Chen Youliang is the strongest whetstone, what he needs now is to increase his strength step by step and play steadily.
It is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt ten of them.
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to plan the battle of Guangde.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang has made the commander-in-chief of the four major battle areas, he cannot ignore it.
After all, this is to conquer the world for himself.
There is another worry. He has joined the rebel army for a shorter time than Xu Da, Tang and them. If he wants them to be completely convinced of him, he needs some real achievements to prove himself.
The current territory of Jinling was obtained through wisdom.
Not enough to convince the generals.
We have to fight, fight hard, and win the series in order to get Yunyun's mouth.
In fact, if Zhu Yuanzhang thinks this way, he is overthinking it.
In fact, Zhu Jianhua in later generations was about the same age as Zhu Yuanzhang.
To be precise, Zhu Yuanzhang was less than thirty, more than twenty-nine years old!
There is a huge difference between people.
When Zhu Yuanzhang was young, he played as an emperor, and other friends were also very convinced.
His leadership qualities can be said to be innate.
Zhu Jianhua is just a college student, and it is impossible to be the same as him.
But now Zhu Yuanzhang is also changing.
But sometimes he is still suspicious, always feeling that others will see through him.
He needs victory to feel at ease.
This is understandable.
Now all Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts are on planning the battle of Guangde.
Not to mention, Zhu Yuanzhang is now more and more interested in looking at maps.
He had heard about Guangde. Yue Fei became famous after the Battle of Guangde.
It can be seen from the place names. Place names such as Yuefigou still exist today.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang remembered the conversation between Han Emperor Liu Bang and Han Xin. Han Xin had more troops, the better. The king is not good at generals, but he is good at generals!
Only those who know their own strengths and weaknesses and use their strengths to avoid weaknesses are called heroes.
This time Zhu Yuanzhang prepared a three-pronged attack. He planned to send Deng Yu, Shao Cheng, and Tang Chang to attack Guangde, and then take a short rest and continue to move forward to open up the passage to eastern Zhejiang.
Xiaobao was sent to enter Guangde in advance in the name of a caravan to prepare internal responses.
Erhe was sent to secretly command the monk soldiers at the Huangjue Temple branch near Guangde to prepare for any eventuality.
Xiaobao and Erhe are all direct descendants of Zhu Yuanzhang. They grew up with him, and their loyalty goes without saying.
Deng Yu, whose real name is Deng Youde, led more than 10,000 people to defect to him last year, which shows his sincerity.
Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and personally named him Deng Yu, now Marshal Guangxingyi.
Regarding the generals under his command, Zhu Yuanzhang knew them well and appointed them well.
This time Deng Yu is the commander-in-chief of the army, and Shao Cheng and Tang Chang are his deputy generals. In fact, his combination is already very powerful.
However, in order to be foolproof, Zhu Yuanzhang arranged two other groups of surprise troops. However, he controlled the situation of the other two groups himself to prevent Deng Yu and others from misunderstanding his intentions and causing the army to lose morale.
People are like this. Once they rely on something, they will become lazy.
In order to motivate Deng Yu, Zhu Yuanzhang invited Deng Yu to his home and asked his wife to cook for Deng Yu in person.
Deng Yu was really moved at this time.
"Deng Yu, I am going to let you lead the troops to attack Guangde this time. Are you confident?"
Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the wine glass and looked at Deng Yu.
"Commander, of course I have confidence. Commander, please don't worry. If you can't defeat Guangde, I'll show you my head!"
"Okay! Be ambitious! What I want is your words, come on! Do it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang ran the army in his own unique way, especially his wife, who was even more concerned about the families of his generals.
In their own unique way, the two men united these generals and made them return to their original mission. They sacrificed their lives and repeatedly accomplished extraordinary feats.
Zhu Yuanzhang's wife warmed the general's heart with her boundless love. In some respects, she played a greater role than Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that it was impossible to accomplish all his achievements in one battle.
You have to eat the meal one bite at a time and do the things one by one.
And he will continue to accumulate strength to gradually become stronger, and then wait for the decline of others.
Zhu Yuanzhang still regards King Xiao Ming as his leader. He does not call himself king and is quietly developing his own strength. Although he does not say it in words, he is actually implementing things step by step.
Deng Yu took the order and left.
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to lead troops to conquer these places personally, but he later decided to let other generals go.
His specialty is not leading troops to fight, but leading generals to attack various places. He leads the overall situation from behind because he sees far and knows more. There is no doubt about this.
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang was a layman in the military, but now with the deepening of his study, especially the accumulation of actual combat experience and lessons, Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more fond of commanding troops to fight.
To be precise, Zhu Yuanzhang commanded these generals to realize his strategic intentions.
He set specific goals for these generals and how to fight them, allowing the generals to decide on their own on the battlefield.
After all, the current communication conditions are very poor, and it is impossible for him to pay attention to the development of the battle situation all the time.
However, under the premise of making comprehensive preparations and allowing these generals to conduct detailed analysis based on the specific situation, victory can be predicted.
