Daming: I was exposed by Zhu Di's Sims life!

Chapter 274 Zhu Gaoxuan: It Doesn't Matter, I Will Shot
After thinking deeply, Zhu Gaoxuan said, "I have three strategies for the southwestern affairs."

Zhu Di asked, "Which three strategies?"

"Bad policy, bad policy, bad policy."

"you die."

Everyone in Zhu Di was shocked. None of the three strategies you co-authored is a good strategy, right?

Zhu Gaoyi sighed: "The Southwest is out of our control now, what's more, our army is still stationed in the Southwest, we don't know whether this army has rebelled, all in all, it's a black eye, such a battle, It is harder to fight than when we go to expand the territory."

"In such a situation, what is the best policy?"

Zhu Di was also a little discouraged: "Then what are your three strategies?"

Zhu Gaoxuan said: "Just like what I said just now, the quick knife cuts the mess, these three strategies all pursue a quick word, calm down the situation with lightning speed, and prevent it from spreading. In the case of rebellion, the sooner the better, It can be resolved as soon as possible, and must not be delayed until the next day."

"Let's talk about the worst policy first. The worst policy is to remove Li Bin from his position in the name of the imperial court and order Li Bin to return to Beijing to question his crimes. At the same time, mobilize the southern army from Jinling and send troops immediately to suppress the southwest rebellion!"

Zhu Di frowned: "Li Bin is afraid of being punished by the court. He knows that he has lost the battle because of his misdeeds, and returning to Beijing is a death sentence. How can he return to Beijing willingly?"

Zhu Gaoxuan shook his head and said: "I know, he will definitely not return to Beijing, and he may even mutiny. It doesn't matter, we don't need him to return to Beijing, it's just a process in name, after the army is summoned, we will directly bring Li Bin together kill!"

Zhang Fu pointed out the crux of the problem: "If this is the case, no matter how chaotic the situation is, it will not hurt us. Anyway, if we hit one, it is still a fight, and if we hit two, it is a fight. If we kill them all, we are done. But the disadvantage is that if this is the case, it is tantamount to giving up completely. The advantage we had gained in the Southwest before fell short, so we started all over again."

Zhu Gaoxuan nodded slightly: "So, this is the worst policy, not the best policy."

Southwest was in such a mess under Li Bin's hands, and the court couldn't see anything like a blind man. No matter how hard we thought about this situation, no effective strategy could be figured out.

The worst strategy is also the most stable way. First remove Li Bin from all positions on the stage to stabilize the people's hearts, and then mobilize the southern army to suppress the rebellion.The only disadvantage is that the Southwest Army under Li Bin may choose to mutiny because the court abandoned them, but now that the Southwest Army has already mutinied, it is better to send troops immediately and start another Southern Expedition than to sort everything out. .

Zhu Di asked, "Then what's the next move?"

Zhu Gaoyi sighed and said: "The next best thing to do is to send Jin Yiwei to the southwest to check the situation, and after finding out all the affairs in the southwest, then decide whether to prepare troops from the southern provinces to fight against the southwest rebels, or send envoys to negotiate with Li Bin. Fool while coping to stabilize the situation."

"inappropriate."

Zhang Fu shook his head when he heard the words, "This strategy is not as safe as the one just now. When everything is clear and the day lily is cold, since it is said to cut the mess quickly, how can it be so persistent?"

Zhu Di nodded: "I think so too."

"Since the bad policy and the bad policy can't work, then the only thing to do is to make the bad policy."

Zhu Gaoxuan's eyes flickered, "Did not mobilize troops from the southern provinces. Directly summoned the Yunnan Army of Guizhou Duke's Mansion from Yunnan, which is closest to the southwest. With the Thunder method, this mess will be shredded!"

Zhu Di was a little hesitant: "The Duke of Guizhou should not be able to take on this important task."

Mu Sheng, Duke of the State of Qian, once joined forces with the Southwest Army led by Zhang Fu in Baihe, conquered the important town of Duobang, and made great achievements in the battle to capture Li Jiyao, and was named Duke of the State.

The Duke of Qian has guarded Yunnan for generations, and his father is Muying, king of Qianning, the adopted son of the Taizu. The Zhu family all trusted him.

The Mu family lives up to the Zhu family, and the Zhu family lives up to the Mu family.

It's not that Zhu Di doesn't believe in the Mu family's strength, but because the Mu family is too weak now.

The [-] Southwest Army guards Annan Province, half of which are drawn from the Mu Family Army. Today's Yunnan is still in turmoil, and the local chieftains frequently rebel. Only the Mu Family Army can hold it down.

Today's Mu's family is already a mud bodhisattva who can't protect himself when crossing the river. It is not easy for him to be able to take care of Yunnan. If he draws more troops from the Guizhou government, how much can he draw?
Twenty thousand?

Thirty thousand?

If there were more transfers, the Duke of Guizhou would not be able to stand it anymore. By then, Annan would not be pacified, and Yunnan would start to make trouble again.

This amount of troops wants to suppress the turmoil in Annan Province, I'm afraid it's not even enough to squeeze the teeth.

Zhu Gaoxuan said with a slight smile: "It doesn't matter, I will make a move."

……

In the Wenhua Palace, Yang Rong approved the memorial on the table, and took a sip from the teacup beside him.

An old official in scarlet robe came to the side, Mr. Yang Ge took a closer look, it turned out to be Xia Yuanji, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

"Why did Xia Laoshangshu come to me in person? If there is anything in the household department, just ask someone to come over and say no to me." Yang Rong hurriedly got up to greet him.

Xia Yuanji waved his hand: "Mr. Yang Ge, don't greet me, I'm here to discuss something important."

"Old Shangshu Xia, please sit down, let's talk slowly after sitting down."

Xia Yuanji sat on the chair and asked seriously: "Mr. Yang Ge, tell me the truth, is the country going to war again?"

Yang Rong said with a smile: "Who did you hear that, in today's prosperous age, His Highness has already finished the battle, so what about the war?"

Xia Yuanji shook his head: "Your cabinet knows more than I do. Mr. Yang Ge refuses to tell me the truth, and I have no other place to inquire. But let me tell you first, you and my colleagues, you manage the cabinet, I am in charge of the household department, and they all say that I am the money bag of the Ming Dynasty, and they also call me "Xia Laogou" in private. I came out here."

The smile on Yang Rong's face subsided: "Old Shangshu Xia was joking, we are all doing things for His Highness, so there is nothing we can't say, I really don't know."

He could tell that Old Shangshu Xia's words were full of thorns.

The two are circling here, neither of them is willing to get to the bottom of it first, they are trying to test each other's bottom with vague words.

Xia Yuanji frowned slightly: "Yang Rong, don't follow me. Can your cabinet see the military newspaper in the Southwest?"

Yang Rong was startled: "How do you know..."

Xia Yuanji said coldly: "The old man has been in charge of the household department for more than ten years. You have been through the ups and downs. You are still too immature to play this kind of trick in front of me. You think that hiding the military newspaper, no one but your cabinet Does anyone know? The Southwest’s military expenditures have been handed over from my household department, and I can tell the difference. I can guess what’s going on there now. The military expenditures of the Nine Sides of the Ming Dynasty are all handled by me every year. You Come with me?"

Yang Rong was silent.

He did know that there was trouble in the southwest, but he suppressed it for the time being.

The memorial about Southwest China will not be released. After all, regarding the rebellion, His Highness and His Majesty above have not given an answer. As a minister, he should be sympathetic to his superiors.Yang Rong didn't have any bad intentions to suppress the matter, he was just worried that this matter would cause turmoil in the court.

The country has just moved its capital, and there is such a chaotic situation in the southwest. Wouldn't it be criticized if it was spread?

Xia Yuanji said in a deep voice: "Yang Rong, I'm not talking about personal affairs with you now, but state affairs!"

"It is precisely because it is a national matter that I cannot tell you."

Yang Rong painstakingly persuaded, "You should probably have guessed it in your heart. The current situation is critical. This matter is now a muddy water. I am already in muddy water. The deeper the matter involved, the deeper the sinking. Xia Old Shangshu, listen to my advice, and don’t ask. I’m greeting you on the shore in the water. When His Highness and His Majesty decide on the regulations, you will know without asking. Why are you in such a hurry? You are a civil servant , why are you more anxious about fighting than the military attache?"

Xia Yuanji and Yang Rong looked at each other, their old eyes were already cloudy, and the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes were the vicissitudes left by the years, but the spirit in the eyes was still as tenacious as a young man.

In the end, it was Yang Rong who was the first to lose the battle, and took out two confidential letters from under the table: "These two letters were sent by the Southwest Capital Division and the Southwest Jinyiwei respectively. I will pass them first, and then submit them to Your Majesty. I will leave them to you." I have made a record, you can read it yourself, I have agreed in advance that I will not be responsible for any problems, you found it yourself."

Old Shangshu Xia took the secret letter and read it. After reading it, he got up and left without hesitation.

Yang Rong asked: "Where are you going?"

Xia Yuanji said lightly: "Miansheng."

……

"You want to fight this battle yourself?"

Zhu Di's brows were locked into the word Chuan, "Boy, don't make trouble. You are now the supervisor of the country, and the lifeblood of the country is on your shoulders. How can you fight this battle yourself?"

Zhu Gaoyi asked back: "Who else can fight this battle except me?"

Zhu Di blurted out: "Zhang Fu, Zhang Fu has served as the chief general in Southwest China for many years. In terms of qualifications, experience and strength, he is competent."

Zhu Gaoxuan set his sights on Zhang Fu: "Mr. Ying, can you lead 2 people to quell the southwest rebellion?"

Zhang Fu was embarrassed, he hesitated, and replied: "No."

He is not being humble now, nor is he giving Zhu Gaoxuan face, he really can't do it.

Zhang Fu is the best soldier in this dynasty besides Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxuan. What's more, the Southwest is still his home field. To be fair, he should be no less good general in the Southwest than Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, but that depends. How many troops do you have?

In the current situation in the Southwest, we don't know how much of the original [-] Southwest Army is still available and how many mutinies there are. In addition to the local rebel rebels, there must be at least a hundred thousand enemies.

If he, Zhang Fu, had 5 horses, he would dare to swear that "the one who goes to the southwest to be in command, who else can I?" But it would be a bit embarrassing for him to take 2 horses to quell the southwest rebellion.

Zhu Gaoxuan looked at Zhu Di again: "That's it, let's not talk about how many troops the Ming Dynasty can mobilize, and how many troops can be mobilized from the southern provinces. The only one we can use right now, and the fastest we can mobilize, is Qianguo The 800 troops under the government. Winning more with less is my best way of fighting. Back in Mobei, I used 2 men to subdue Mahamu's tens of thousands of cavalry. Now there are [-]. How can I Can't win?"

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "You have to know that fighting in Mobei and fighting in the southwest are two different concepts. One is the desert grassland, and the other is deep mountains and old forests..."

Zhu Gaoxuan said firmly: "I have fought in the southwest, I have fought in the southwest, and I have never lost."

Zhu Di has a toothache, he really doesn't want to let Zhu Gaoxuan leave now.

Putting it more than ten years ago, Zhu Di, who was the emperor on horseback, would definitely want his son to be an emperor on horseback.

But now that he is old, he wants his heir to stay in the capital safely, in the deep palace and vermilion walls, and let the heir take over the huge empire from him after his death .

Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang in his later years, Zhu Di in his later years is more like an indecisive elder.

Who is Zhu Yuanzhang?

He lost his father and mother when he was young, lost his wife in middle age, and lost his sons one after another in his later years, robbing the world of good fortune. How heroic Hongwu was when he founded the country, Ming and Jianyuan, and how lonely he was in his later years.

Zhu Yuanzhang is a real emperor, cruel, cruel, heroic, and wise. In his later years, he had everything but lost everything. A lonely old man guarded the empire he built with his own hands. His indifferent eyes looked down at the world, and his heart There is no emotion at all.

Zhu Di is different from Zhu Yuanzhang. His heart is more complicated and his emotions are more enthusiastic.

The emperor who advocated war the most, in his later years, he didn't want his son to go to the battlefield again.

……

Zhu Gaoyi didn't notice the complicated eyes of the old man, he was still focusing on analyzing his strategy: "In the southwest land, the biggest obstacle to my Ming Dynasty is actually the acclimatization of the soil and water."

"Even if our army in the south, it is difficult to adapt to the rainforest in the southwest. This problem was already obvious during the last southern expedition. Neither the northern army nor the southern army were responsible for the southern expedition. It is not the main force, but it plays an auxiliary role. There is actually no way for the local army in the southwest to do the main attack."

"So, since we have drawn troops from the southern provinces, there is no great advantage, but it will delay our army's offensive. Sometimes, too many troops is not a good thing, especially in the southwestern rainforest. Too many will make us bloated, and it will be extremely inconvenient in terms of combat command and marching. With a small number of people, we can fight with ease. In this kind of terrain, the tactics of winning more with less can be brought to the extreme."

"Uh... Dad, are you listening?"

Zhu Di came back to his senses and nodded: "Well, you continue."

Zhu Gaoxuan was a little surprised, he had never seen Zhu Di lost his mind when discussing the battle.

At this time, Tang Cheng walked quickly to report to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xia from the Department of Hubu is asking to see you."

Zhu Di frowned slightly: "What is he doing here? Tell him, I'm discussing important military affairs with the crown prince and the British government. If I don't see you, let him come back another day."

Tang Cheng reminded: "Old Shangshu Xia said that he came here for the southwest."

When Zhu Di heard this, his face sank like water.
