Zhu Yunwen picked up the tea bowl and waited for everyone's analysis and strategies. That's right, the Ming Dynasty sent a large number of troops to fight a group of nomads with the advantage of firearms. It was very exciting and exciting.
But the reality is more than that. War is not a child's play. Looking through the history books, even if the troops are superior and the situation is advantageous, clever generals will be in awe, plan carefully, and act with caution.
Zhu Yuanzhang was like this when he beat Zhang Shicheng, and Xu Da was like this when he beat Dadu. The first is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, and the third is to attack the city.
There is no need to consider siege. There are not even shabby houses in Mahamu and Arutai now, and they still live in mobile tents all day long.
This group of people does not need to buy a house, nor does it have a fortified city. The war between the Ming Dynasty and them can only be decided on the grassland.
Conquering the army is the last thing that needs to be considered. What needs to be considered now is matters of conspiracy and friendship. Zhu Yunwen knew that today's Daming firearms did have the power to destroy cavalry legions, but this advantage could not form a real dimensionality reduction strike due to the discontinuity of the firearms. If he wanted to completely crush and have zero casualties, he would directly destroy Mahamu and Ah Mu. Lu Tai and others were shocked, but it was still impossible.
What's more, cavalry is the main force in marching on the grasslands. Although the number of cavalry in the Ming Dynasty has increased year by year over the years, the long border needs to be guarded, and various guard posts need to be supplemented by cavalry. As a result, the increase in cavalry is very limited in a specific place.
There are also logistical issues, which are really a big problem. Xie Jin, Yang Shiqi, Tie Xuan, Xu Huizu, Li Jian and others planned countermeasures, and Xuan Qingshu, Yuan Yue, Yang Pu and others made supplements. After an hour of discussion, a basic consensus was formed.
Tie Xuan looked at Zhu Yunwen who was walking over, pointed at the sand table with a bamboo stick in his hand, and introduced carefully: "Your Majesty, although it seems that the Ming Dynasty is going to fight a multi-front war, after everyone's discussion, the three fronts have been eliminated."
"Oh, which third line?" Zhu Yunwen asked. Tie Xuan looked at Li Jian, and Li Jian pointed to the three islands in the East China Sea: "Your Majesty, the issue of the three islands in the East China Sea has been handed over to the Donghai Navy and the Southeast Navy. They have gathered the elite of the Ming Dynasty Navy and have elite troops and generals. I thought that this place has been There is nothing to worry about. The Ashikaga Shogunate on this front line can be removed without consideration." Xu Huizu agreed: "The Japanese army cannot resist the two main forces of the navy. Although the geographical advantage may delay the progress of the war, victory will definitely belong to the navy. What's more, this The logistics of the two naval forces are basically in place, and there is no need to arrange troops and ships to cooperate." Zhu Yunwen said with a smile: "With Zheng He, Zhu Neng, Luo Guanying, Yang Rong and others here, the three islands in the East China Sea really do not need much attention. "All the elites of the Ming Dynasty Navy have been gathered along this route. They are completely renovated new steam engine ships and are also equipped with pure iron ships. Not to mention the equipment of ships and firearms, they are captain-level people, with more than 6,000 people. Having experienced the test of life and death, he has a strong will and strict discipline.
It would be a joke if they could not defeat the Ashikaga Shogunate, which used all its main forces and was weak at home. Tie Xuan continued: "There is another road, which is the Japanese army's road in North Korea. According to the established plan, it has been handed over to Zhang Fu to lead the battle. According to time, Li Bao, Li Chen and others have returned to North Korea. Li Fangyuan It is very likely that he has surrendered to Li Chen, and the time will be ripe for Zhang Fu to lead troops into the DPRK to fight against the Japanese."
"Zhang Fu was well versed in mountain warfare during the Guangxi and Annan wars, and was good at commanding large armies. North Korea is mountainous, and the Liaodong and Northeast Guard Posts have 100,000 troops, enough for Zhang Fu. And the advance preparations for this journey have been well prepared, especially It was the Navy that sent a large amount of food and firearms supplies to Zhang Fu. At present, Zhang Fu does not need to consider this journey." Yang Shiqi agreed very much, and Xu Huizu nodded slightly.
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said nothing. When people ordered Zhang Fu to be slaughtered and stationed by the Yalu River in Liaodong, the name he ordered was not Zhang Fu's, but Zhang Fu's.
In the name of "human massacre", wherever he goes, there will be massacres. Worrying about Zhang Fu is not as good as worrying about whether Zhang Fu has enough knives in his army.
What's more, among the 100,000 soldiers in Zhang Fu's hands, 30,000 were transferred from the Beijing army and were the real elite of the Beijing army.
"Where's the other way?" Zhu Yunwen asked. Tie Xuan pointed to the southwest and said solemnly: "Uzang!" Zhu Yunwen stared at Uzang on the sand table. The high mounds of soil, sprinkled with lime, represented the snowfield.
Yuan Yue came out and said seriously: "Your Majesty, Uzang is opposed to the imperial garrison, which seems to be a sign of rebellion. However, because Uzang is located in the southwest and is on a plateau, the imperial court only needs to block the mountain road and prevent it from going down the mountain. , there is no need to divide the troops and attack at this time, wasting the troops in vain. After the Yunnan chieftains and other enemies are dealt with, the court will deal with Wu Zang, which is just a matter of raising hands." Zhu Yunwen smiled and looked at Yuan Yue: "It seems that these Over the years, your strategy is still good. Wu Zang opposed the garrison. The only ones who made a noise were the local lords. These small forces were extremely scattered. Not to mention outsiders, even Wu Zang’s master and disciples could not fully control them. Let them If you object, let them make a fuss. The most we can do is shout on the plateau and take the initiative to send people down to the plateau to attack the Ming Dynasty. Oh, look down on them." Yuan Yuedunhou smiled: "What the emperor means is that after they get tired of shouting, we Go up and deal with them again?" Zhu Yunwen looked at Tie Xuan, Yang Shiqi, Xu Huizu and others. Seeing that there were no objections, he nodded and said: "Except these three lines, the remaining four lines are Wu Liangha, Tatar, Oara and Yunnan Tusi. "Xuan Qingshu came out and pointed in the direction of Yunnan: "Maybe we don't consider the Yunnan Tusi line. The only ones worth noting are the Uuliangha, Tatar and Wala lines." Tie Xuan looked in the direction of Yunnan. , somewhat unsure.
At this time, Yunnan was guarded by Mu Sheng, and Mu Sheng's raids on Tusi were no longer once or twice. It was considered an old project and would be held basically every few years.
With rich experience and a batch of squatting cannons in hand, Yunnan really does not need to worry too much. However, no one can be sure how big the Yunnan chieftain rebellion will be, how many people will be involved, or whether it will trigger rebellion among the chieftains in Guizhou, Guangxi, and Guangdong.
Yang Pu looked calm and said easily: "There are Mu Sheng and Yunnan Dusi in Yunnan. No matter how many chieftains join forces, they can deal with it. Because Guangdong has gained a lot from overseas trade, it has implemented a new army strategy. If Guangdong is in chaos, it will definitely It can be handled. There is no need to worry about the Guangxi direction. Although Zhang Fu has left Guangxi, most of the Guangxi commanders are generals who have experienced the Battle of Annan, and their sergeants have rich combat experience, so there is no big problem."
"Ten thousand steps back, if the chieftains in Guangxi and Guangdong are in rebellion, you can mobilize Han Guan to lead troops north from Jiaozhi, and stabilize Guangxi under the attack from the north and the south. If you mobilize the Nanyang Navy to go north, you can put an end to the rebellion in Guangdong. From this perspective, the chieftain issue It seems difficult, but in fact, there is no need to mobilize the Beijing army, and the local guards are enough to deal with it." Xie Jin clapped his hands and praised: "Your Majesty, what the two of them said is absolutely true. Even though the rebellion caused by the chieftains in many provinces seemed to be powerful and affected a wide range of areas, the chieftains After all, they are barbarians who do not understand strategy and can only plunder arbitrarily. Although their methods are cruel, they will eventually fall at the feet of the guardsmen. If the issue of chieftains is not considered, the so-called world-wide attack is nothing more than the Uliangha, Tatar and Oara , In this way, the response will be more relaxed." Yang Shiqi, Xu Huizu and others nodded repeatedly.
Wu Liangha, Tatar and Wala seem to be three groups, but in fact they are the result of the dead Yuan Ting being divided into three. In a sense, this time the storm is coming, but in fact it is the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the dead Yuan Ting. Another collision is another confrontation between the civilization of the Central Plains and the nomads!
During the Hongwu period, the Taizu period was especially able to attack the Yuan Dynasty in three ways. Now in the Jianwen Dynasty, the national power is booming, so why can't we attack in three ways?
Seeing that the situation was gradually becoming clearer, Zhu Yunwen looked at Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi and other places on the sand table: "The next order is for the chieftains of Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Guangdong, and Jiaozhi. If the chieftains rebel and the beacon fire is ignited, the chieftains will pursue them and fight across the border. , strive to eliminate the rebels and bandits. In addition, order the local government offices to appease the local chieftains, declare their strong relations, and clarify the court's policy. Those who obey the court will survive, and those who rebel against the court will perish!" Xu Huizu and Tie Xuan took the order.
Cross-border fighting is indeed required by this decree. Dusi's combat area is limited to the province, and cannot be pursued outside the country without authorization.
If the chieftain from Yunnan went to Guangxi, Mu Sheng had no intention and could not directly enter Guangxi to fight. He could only watch the chieftain rest in Guangxi.
With the intention to fight across the border, it means that wherever the chieftain goes, he will fight! Yuan Yue, who was looking at the sand table, looked from Yunnan to Bogu, Canglan, Dacheng Kingdom and other places in the south. He swallowed and asked: "Your Majesty, which border are you referring to when fighting across borders?" Zhu Yunwen looked at it. He glanced at Yuan Yue and smiled calmly: "You don't know which realm, as long as Mu Sheng and the others do." Yuan Yue shuddered.
Everyone in the world knows that our emperor is not only thinking about dealing with the enemy, but also wants to take advantage of the situation. While pacifying the chieftains, he can also expand his territory... Does he take this group of people at heart? How do you feel? Is this sudden war situation moving in the direction that the emperor desires?
Could this be the overall situation arranged by the emperor? Yuan Yue shook his head repeatedly. Impossible, absolutely impossible. The emperor never fights unprepared battles. The current situation has exceeded the court's preparation.
If it was really arranged by the emperor, then he should stay in Xijiang Province at this time and dig a hole for Mahamu with a shovel.
Zhu Yunwen sat down and everyone stood in two rows. Tie Xuan came out of the squad and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, fighting on three fronts does not put much pressure on the Ming Dynasty anymore. Whether it is to engage in distant and close attacks and defeat each one one by one, or to attack on three fronts and fight with all our strength, it is up to the emperor's arrangement." Zhu Yunwen looked at everyone and said majestically. Asked: "Which strategy do you prefer?" Tie Xuan looked at Xu Huizu and others, and said: "Strike far and near, and defeat them one by one!" Zhu Yunwen knocked on the table, thinking about the feasibility.
Tie Xuan said in a deep voice: "Being far away with Wala can delay Wala. Although Mahamu has always been ambitious, Tu Boluo is well aware of the power of the Ming Dynasty and knows that once a war breaks out, the consequences will be difficult. I think that we can win over Tu Boluo , divided the country, used both soft and hard tactics, so that Mahamu and Taiping were hesitant and unable to go south with all their strength!" - Thanks to Ni Xiaozhu Education and Mo Rabbit Jing for their radish. The article borrowed their comments. Jingxue thanks them.
