Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

Nothing in the world can be accomplished in a hurry. If Zhu Youxiao wants to turn the tide to avoid the overthrow of the Ming Dynasty and prevent the Jianyu from causing trouble in China, he must closely plan his strategy with guns, money bags, and pens, and then break through numerous barriers. , to achieve the planning and deployment you want to do.

If there is no absolute confidence, no matter how many people are killed to take away the power they hold, the foundation will still be unstable.

If you don't solve some of the internal problems and lead the well-organized Beijing camp to the Liao Dynasty, you will most likely end up with another emperor. That is definitely not what Zhu Youxiao wants! !

Zhu Youxiao knows what he wants, so he is very clear in everything he does. Impatience will not solve the problem.

"That's right!"

Seeing Lu Xiangsheng's serious expression, Zhu Youxiao suppressed his smile and said loudly: "I just want to personally lead the Ming Dynasty Tiger Ben to the Liao Dynasty to rebuild the captives to show the power of our Ming Dynasty army!"

If others asked about this matter, Zhu Youxiao would never mention it. This involves his conception of the strategy against Liao, using coordinated sea and land operations to launch attacks around western Liaoning, southern Liaoning and other places, making it clear that Dongjiang Town , Denglai Town, Tianjin, Ningqian and other military positions, adopt a regional joint operations model, strive to continue to harass the areas stolen by the captives, create favorable opportunities for the frontal battlefield, and then try to rebuild the main force of the captives, thus reversing the Ming Dynasty The offensive and defensive situation with Jianlu in Liaodong! !

This overall strategy involves too many secrets. If there is any flaw in any link during this period, it may lead to the collapse of the whole line. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao must be fully prepared and gather a group of people who are good at fighting. We should use civil and military measures to avoid the recurrence of the bad luck caused by the Tumubao Incident.

But Lu Xiangsheng is worth it! !

He is absolutely loyal to Ming Dynasty, his ability is beyond mention, and he is versatile in both civil and military affairs. If such outstanding people don't trust him, then Zhu Youxiao doesn't know who to trust.

"May I ask how Your Majesty will suppress the rebellion?"

Lu Xiangsheng followed closely and said: "Since Governor Sun left Zhenning, he built cities and guarded them around Jinzhou, Xiaolinghe Fort, Songshan Fort and other places. During this period, he fought with Jianqi to no avail, and most of them were harassed by Jianqi, while the imperial court A large amount of food and salary is allocated every year to support Ning Qian..."

It seems that I have been thinking about it in private.

Listening to what Lu Xiangsheng said, Zhu Youxiao showed an expression of approval. He was not afraid that the people below would think about Liao affairs, but he was afraid that those who could use them would not think about it. War in the era of cold weapons and war in the era of hot weapons are completely different. a concept.

If Zhu Youxiao really wants to lead a personal expedition, strive to break out the Battle of Ningyuan next year, lead his troops to intervene in this meaningful battle, and then try to severely damage the invading Jianqi, he must select a group of reliable civil and military forces.

Xiong Tingbi is one.

Lu Xiangsheng is one.

"Actually, what the Qing family has said so much, what they really want to express to me is that the Western Liaoning Corridor is long and narrow."

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said: "The armies guarding Ningqian are already overcrowded. If I really plan to lead the Ming Dynasty Tiger Ben to Liao, if I don't try to solve these practical problems, I am afraid that most of them will end up... It must have been the Jianlu who took advantage of the chaos and entered."

"Chen~"

Lu Xiangsheng didn't know what to say for a while.

This is indeed what worries him.

What's more, he was worried about much more than that.

Zhu Youxiao seemed to have seen through it and continued: "Besides, if I really want to lead the expedition in person, then if there is any delay in the central court or other situations, which will delay the supply of the front line, an army of this size will gather in Ningqian. However, the battle situation on the frontline has been unable to open up. If there is a shortage of food and grass, the consequences will be disastrous. Is this what the Qing family is thinking about?"

"Your Majesty is wise."

Lu Xiangsheng pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and bowed in front of the emperor and said: "These are exactly what I am worried about. Your Majesty wants to rectify the army and suppress the rebellion. This is the blessing of our Ming Dynasty and the blessing of the country. However, some realities have to be considered. Ming Dynasty really can’t afford a big defeat!”

Lu Xiangsheng was afraid that the emperor was acting on a whim, so he decided to use Xiong Tingbi to rectify the capital camp. He was even more worried that the emperor would underestimate Jianlu, and then think too simple about the imperial conquest in person.

The original intention was to make the emperor give up his thoughts.

"The Qing family said it well, the Ming Dynasty cannot withstand a major defeat."

Zhu Youxiao stood up from the throne, walked quickly to the side, stretched out his hand and said to Lu Xiangsheng: "Then I will come and tell the Qing family what I think about the matters involving the central court, and I will not give any more information to the Qing family."

"I will tell the Qing family about the strategy for the Liao Dynasty. If the Qing family agrees, then they will go to the capital camp to help arrange food and wages for Xiong Tingbi. If they don't agree, then just pretend that nothing happened."

Seeing the emperor walking to a certain place, he picked up a long stick and pointed at the hanging map. Lu Xiangsheng walked quickly towards the imperial court. At that time, they were the only ones in the Dongnuan Pavilion.

"We must adhere to one concept when dealing with the Jianlu, that is, strategically despise them, but tactically we must pay attention to them."

Zhu Youxiao pointed to the map in front of him and said in a sonorous tone: "Jianlu is good at field battles. In the past few years, I have been thinking about their battles. They used their dead soldiers to open the way, and the infantry archers organized arrow rain to cover. During this period, bagaras, cavalry soldiers, infantry soldiers, infantry soldiers and other arms, including the Mongolian Tatar rangers who accompanied them to the battle, would actively look for flaws in the line under the command of Jianlu generals at all levels, striving to hit them with one blow. potential."

Lu Xiangsheng nodded in approval.

"So it is not difficult for the Qing family to discover that Jianlu is deficient in the use of firecrackers and artillery, as well as in naval warfare."

However, Zhu Youxiao changed the subject and pointed to several places one after another, "So while we are actively preparing for war, I will re-promote a group of frontier officials who know the military to support Dongjiang Town, Denglai Town, Tianjin and other places, and continue to If they cross the sea to harass the Liaonan guards, can Jianlu have any way to deal with it?"

"Does Your Majesty want the above-mentioned towns to go deep alone?"

Lu Xiangsheng frowned.

"No, it's a sea attack!!"

Zhu Youxiao replied: "It is different from Mao Wenlong who led his troops many times in the past. He accumulated small victories into big victories, and carried out cross-sea raids continuously and irregularly. If there was a battle, we would fight. When there was no battle, we would disturb us. If the enemy entered us, we would fight." Then retreat. If the enemy retreats, I will advance. If the enemy is stationed, I will disturb them. If the enemy is tired, I will attack. In short, in one sentence, Jianlu will lose his foothold in the Liaonan guards!"

This……

Lu Xiangsheng opened his eyes slightly, showing an expression of disbelief. What kind of strategy is this? He has never done it before. If he really wants to do this, it will cost a lot of money.

"The battle with Jianlu is all about consumption. Let's see who can survive until the end."

Zhu Youxiao raised his long stick, surrounded the map and said: "Before I decided to go on a personal expedition, I and Jianlu were at odds. No matter how much money we spent, we could do it. As long as we could continue to consume them, I could lead my troops to station in Ning." Now, as for the congestion in the Western Liaoning Corridor, I have my own way to solve it."

"The reason why I decided to go on a personal expedition is that I want to solve the problem of self-respect of the Liao generals. If this matter cannot be solved, it will be impossible for the Ming Dynasty to suppress the rebellion. Does the Qing family still think that I am acting on a whim?"

It turns out that the emperor had already seen through it?

After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng felt calm in his heart at this moment.

In fact, Xiong Tingbi was not the only one to see the Liao general's self-respect, but also some knowledgeable people.

But the reason why this matter has not been completely exposed lies in the abnormal transfer of interests between Liaoqian and the capital!

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Beijing to help with food and salary arrangements!"

Lu Xiangsheng did not hesitate any longer. Under Zhu Youxiao's gaze, he bowed with a serious expression.
