"Dad, this time I, the son, should have gone north to open up a new battlefield. But there are too many things in the south and I really can't leave. I can only trouble you..."
"Old man? As a father, you are not old. I am only over forty years old. How can I be old? But as a father, I know that I can't take care of your affairs. Now you have to take care of the court and the training and fighting of the troops. How can you still be free? When you have the energy to study, you still have to take care of that bunch of royal merchants, oh, and you have to weave and embroider..."
"Father!" When Zhu Heji heard the old man saying that he could embroider, he looked at his joking father angrily, "How can I do embroidery? I am printing on white cloth!"
He recently made some water-soluble sulfur black, so he tried to print a pattern on white cloth to see if this sulfur black would work? This sulfur dye was not easy to make, and it was not his previous specialty, so it had to be tried and tested.
And when the news of "Mingwang Printing" reached Tianwang Mansion, it somehow became "Mingwang Embroidery"...
King Zhu Tian smiled faintly: "Prints and embroideries are all the same. As long as you can manage the country well and train the army well, you can do whatever you want... Third brother, Wu Sangui is afraid that this Northern Expedition is serious! One hundred thousand Army! If he takes Beijing, our family’s momentum will be gone!"
Zhu Heji originally had two older brothers who had died in infancy, so King Zhu Tian sometimes called him "Lao San" or "Sanlang".
"Wu Sangui probably won't be able to take Beijing... If he could lead the troops himself, he might be able to do so, but now it's Wu Yingqi who's leading the troops. I think it's very uncertain.
After all, some people in Wuzhou Kingdom do not want Wu Yingqi to get this great contribution to rebuilding the world! Moreover, Wu Zhou's national and military strength was still weak compared to Qing Yao. The weak bullies the strong, there are brothers fighting in the country, and Wu Sangui is old. "
"The selection of Wu Sangui's successor is indeed a problem... Then Wu Yingxiong might as well die in Beijing!"
"It's useless even if you die!" Zhu Heji sneered, "This Wu Sangui has no successor... Wu Yingqi's talent is also limited, Wu Shicong is slightly stronger, but he is a grandson, and it is impossible to skip Wu Yingqi and ascend to the throne.
And Wu Sangui himself is not a heaven-defying hero, he is just a tycoon with limited vision. "
Zhu Heji paused, and said to King Zhu Tian, who also had limited vision and insufficient intelligence: "Father, Yang Qilong spent a lot of money on Burni in Chahar... Maybe he can bring Beijing to the throne." The city was stolen!
If Burni succeeds in Beijing, then you can land in Tianjin, use the banner of Prince Zhu San, and then negotiate with Burni. Even if you make him a Mongol Khan and give him a million yuan in annual gifts, you will still find a way to conquer Beijing. Buy it.
If Burney loses his hand in Beijing, then you can land at Lushunkou in Liaodong... We will open up a second battlefield to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. From now on, we will slowly fight from Liaodong to Liaoxi, and then to Shanhaiguan! "
This idea of opening up the second battlefield in Liaodong to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty is actually very consistent with the national conditions of the new Ming Dynasty.
The new Ming Dynasty had a strong navy but weak cavalry!
The new Ming Dynasty's navy is "invincible in riding and shooting" and is already second to none in the world! Even if the British Royal Navy's HMS Sovereign comes to the coast of China and encounters a bunch of assault boats, it will not end well.
But the cavalry of the new Ming Dynasty was really weak, and they only numbered three thousand... The reason for this was because Zhu Heji didn't have enough big mares in his hands!
The war horses in his hands were mainly captured, and the captured war horses were either geldings or stallions, and almost no mares.
Without a mare, of course there would be no way to give birth to a foal...Zhu Heji didn't have the golden finger to let the stallion give birth!
Although it is not difficult to get some Yunnan-bred dwarf mares on his territory, anyone who has raised horses knows that it is very dangerous for a small mare to be paired with a big stallion, and it may lead to a big baby. Fetal horses are prone to dystocia.
Therefore, when horses are crossbred, they usually try their best to select big mares.
Therefore, it is impossible for Zhu Heji to build a strong cavalry in Jiangnan... He can outsource some high-quality stallions. In fact, he has some Lusitano stallions in his hands.
But he did not have enough large mares to quickly expand his herd of thoroughbreds.
And opening up the second battlefield in Liaodong is a good way to get Malaysia!
"Qingyao has built a Dalinghe ranch near Jinzhou in western Liaoning," Zhu Heji said to King Zhu Tian again, "If possible, steal one...if you can't steal it, spend money to buy it. Just buy a big mare!”
"I know, I know," King Zhu Tian smiled, "Go steal! Go rob! Go cheat! Go smuggle... It's all my father's job! I'm better than you at doing these things!
In Lushun, Liaodong, Dagu, Tianjin, and along the coast of Shandong, anyone who can steal, rob, or deceive, your father will not let go! Your father and I will definitely make Kang Mazi’s scalp go numb when he hears the name of Third Prince Zhu! "
Zhu Heji held his sword, looked at King Zhu Tian, and finally looked up to the sky and laughed: "Okay, father, from now on, one of us will be in the south and the other in the north, and together we will kill Kang Mazi's Qingyao court!"
...
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...it's done, it's done!"
Kaifeng Mansion was in the south study room. Kang Mazi, who was immersed in reading the memorial, suddenly heard Tu Hai's voice. He immediately put down the memorial in his hand and looked up at the door of the south study room. He saw that he was wearing a blue mandarin jacket and was covered in dust. Tuhai was already standing outside the door.
"Come in, come in and talk!"
Kangxi knew that Tuhai came directly from the battlefield of Zhuxian Town, and quickly greeted him into the south study room.
After Tuhai came in, he knelt down to Emperor Kang Mazi and said, "Your Majesty, it's done... The four major chariot formations besieging Zhuxian Town have been completed. Wu Ni's 100,000 troops have now been defeated by Prince An. The army is surrounding!"
"Ancestors bless you!" Emperor Kangxi almost cried with joy after hearing Tu Hai's words, but then he asked, "Can Wu Yingqi be surrounded by a four-car formation?"
The four-seater formation is not four fortresses. It is possible for Wu Yingqi to break them.
Tu Hai shook his head, "We can't surround him... But as long as Wu Yingqi is not determined to break all four car formations, but thinks about withdrawing to Xuzhou, then we can win a great victory! In the hands of Prince An He also has tens of thousands of cavalry, enough to chase down Wu Yingqi’s army of 100,000!"
I have to say that the advantages of the Qing cavalry are still very useful on the battlefield in the Central Plains!
The reason why Yue Le's 150,000 troops can hide near Zhuxian Town is because his cavalry is powerful and can block the reconnaissance cavalry sent by Wu Yingqi.
Once Wu Yingqi breaks through the encirclement and leaves, Yue Le's cavalry will be able to pursue him all the way, leaving Wu Yingqi struggling to survive!
Kangxi nodded: "Even if I am exhausted after breaking the four-seater formation and unable to march north, I will still win..." As he spoke, he patted a memorial on the table, "Prince Gong's memorial said that Boer Ni's 50,000-strong army has already entered the customs! King Erdeni of Horqin County has also summoned tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry and is heading to Shanhaiguan. As long as these two armies arrive in Henan, my army will reach more than 200,000. It was enough to push back Wu Yingqi's army and force Wu Sangui to negotiate peace.
As long as the alliance between Wu and Zhu can be reached, the Qing Dynasty will win! "
It has to be said that Emperor Kangxi's strategy is still very clever. He has now given up the idea of defeating Wu Sangui and Zhu Heji at the same time, and instead seeks to unite Wu to destroy Zhu.
In his opinion, Wu Sangui and his son, who were languid in their youth, were not his opponents after all, and Wu Zhou's future was also quite limited... This country was just a group of "two, three, four, five" people who jumped back and forth between the Ming and Qing dynasties. What the "Six Ministers" established is just an unreliable community of interests.
Perhaps once Wu Sangui dies, his prosperity will turn into decline.
The New Ming Dynasty founded by Zhu Heji was different. Although the New Ming Dynasty still used the name of the Ming Dynasty, this country actually had something new with the Ming Dynasty, and it also packaged the matter of conquering the world and seizing the country in a very sacred way. It hurts my hands just to look at it!
