Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 540: Zhu Qiyu compares himself to Cao Mengde, gritting his teeth and approving the Thousand Miles Raid
He Yi smiled and said: "I speculate that Annan's war will probably be closer to the origin of the allusion of 'soldiers are more valuable and faster'."

Zhu Qiyu curiously said to himself: "What is the origin of the allusion? After Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and killed his eldest son Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi fled north and went to Wuhuan leader Tadun Chanyu.

From Cao Cao down to the officers and advisors, no one had the will to fight and wanted to retreat and go home.

What Guo Jiafei wanted to say: Soldiers are valuable and quick, and they are attacking people thousands of miles away. The baggage is heavy and it is difficult to make a profit. And when the enemy hears about it, they must be prepared.It is better to leave the baggage behind and send out the troops with light weapons to cover up their surprise.

Then Cao Cao was forced by Guo Jia to abandon his baggage and run thousands of miles. With no food, no help, and no way out, he ran all the way to die.

It is said that this battle made Cao Cao sick, and he felt more miserable than me. "

He Yi nodded: "Cao Cao led his army through the barren mountains and ridges, marched thousands of miles, fell into desperate situations several times, and went through hardships, but in the end he succeeded in the battle and completely destroyed the Yuan family.

Even after the war, the army returned to the court, Cao Cao still did not agree with Guo Jia's strategy, and generously rewarded the officials who advised him at the time.

It was not until Chibi was defeated and Cao Cao led the remaining defeated troops back to the north that he felt Guo Jiafei's painstaking efforts to destroy the Yuan family and consolidate the north.

Now the Holy Spirit's mentality is similar to that of Cao Cao, and he feels that Jing Yuanbo is too risky.However, Zhang Liao broke the formation and beheaded Tadun, and the combined forces of Wuhuan and Yuan were defeated miserably. They collapsed completely in one battle and were all wiped out. "

Zhu Qiyu was thoughtful.

He Yi added: "I can only say this behind closed doors. In fact, the combat effectiveness of Annan's army is far worse than that of Luchuan.

Luchuan has a military system, where all the people are soldiers, and there are abundant open-pit copper and iron mines, so the armor is extremely sophisticated.Annan has slightly more people, but its combat power is actually far behind.

Jing Yuanbo had been fighting in the south for many years and had a very clear grasp of the military strength of the southern countries, so he dared to act like this.

The reason why the Holy One thought Annan was very powerful, and the reason why the ministers in the DPRK were afraid of Annan, was because the traitor who had brought disaster to the country was so unbearable that he had completely lost the national prestige and face of the Ming Dynasty. "

He Yi didn't dare to talk about Xuan Miao directly, so he could only use San Yang and other traitors who had brought harm to the country as a cover, but Zhu Qiyu understood everything.

Zhu Qiyu was convinced that Wang Ji was indeed very powerful, fighting the Tatars in the north and Luchuan in the south, winning battles wherever he went.

"If we defeat Annan's main force within three or four months, Taizong still fought for seven months. My prestige by then, oh, I can't even imagine it."

Gao Yao praised from the side: "After the victory, the Holy Emperor will reward Uncle Jingyuan, Marquis Ningyang and others, and the people in the court will become more stable. By then, the monarch and his ministers will be harmonious, and the Ming Dynasty will have a new atmosphere."

Zhu Qiyu nodded. This is a good thing. Even Wang Ji and Chen Mao, the commanders whom Emperor Gongrang most relied on, were reused and generously rewarded. The other close associates of Emperor Gongrang did not have to worry about being liquidated.

Of course, the premise is that you have to fight well and make meritorious service.

Zhu Qiyu asked the last question: "If Wang Ji chooses to make a surprise attack, can the armies of those vassal states and Xuanwei Division respond to him?"

He Yi replied: "Of course it can. Hasn't the Holy One already reached an agreement with the special envoys of Champa, Lancang and other countries? Especially the Champa State, their former king is still a prisoner in Annan.

It's such a shame and humiliation, and others are much more anxious than us.

Not to mention the local officials who announced the war, Jing Yuanbo's prestige among the barbarians in the south was far beyond imagination.

If someone else were to be the commander-in-chief, he might not be able to command the barbarians.But Uncle Jingyuan was almost feared by them like a god. "

"Okay, then I will wait for Uncle Jing Yuan's army to win.

Cao Cao used his troops and his speed to unify the north. I also used my troops and my speed to unify the south.

When the time comes, Jing Yuanbo will be sealed in his hometown of Luchuan, and we can safely mine copper mines and carry out nationwide currency conversion. "

After the discussion, Zhu Qiyu no longer had any worries.

After instructing General He Yi to send the report to the Ministry of War, Zhu Qiyu went home happily.

As soon as he entered the Hehuan Hall, Lin Xiangyu greeted him.Zhu Qiyu hugged the beautiful lady and got on the soft couch with a smile.Lin Xiangyu asked curiously: "How come my husband was so worried when he went out, and then he was so happy when he came back? He Yi loves to fool around, what kind of ecstasy soup did he fill you with?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "What else can you do to fool me? It's just that I have ten victories, and I respectfully allow the emperor to have ten defeats. Where did Ningxiang and the others go?"

"Xue'er and Xi'er went to deal with the general affairs of the palace. Ningxiang felt very distressed when she saw you being ridden hundreds of times. She took Linglong to make ginseng soup for you."

Zhu Qiyu teased: "She wants me to eat and drink enough so that I can continue to be ridden."

"You just need to understand in your heart, but don't say it so directly. I'm sorry, my dear husband. Once you become a slave girl, you will never be able to get ahead."

Zhu Qiyu pretended to be stubborn and said: "I enjoy it as if it were sweet cakes, and enjoy it. I am not a fish, but I know how happy it is to be a fish."

Lin Xiangyu replied: "My husband's words don't make sense. I am treated like a horse every day, so why don't I know the joy of fish?"

Zhu Qiyu was speechless, so he followed Lao Tzu's teachings and started rolling up his sleeves.

……

A few more days passed.

The ninth day of April, Siming Mansion, Guangxi.

The [-] Beijing troops under Xu Youzhen and Wang Tong were finally assembled and all stationed on the border.

In the large tent of the Chinese army, native officials from Guangdong and Guangxi gathered together.

Not only that, there are many copycat leaders who have no regard for the region.

Even the traitor Huang Xiaoyang appeared in the Chinese army's tent.

Previously, Zhu Qiyu sent Wang Ao as governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, responsible for annihilating Huang Xiaoyang.

This Huang Xiaoyang pretended to be King Shuntian and once led more than [-] pirate ships to attack Guangzhou Fucheng. He can be regarded as a big pirate.

At that time, the Tumubao Incident had just happened, and the court had no intention of taking care of it.

Later, Wang Ao was appointed as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, but he could not destroy it. Instead, Huang Xiaoyang gradually became powerful.

There are quite a few civil servants like this. Let them govern the local area and they can achieve some political achievements.But letting them fight is like taking their lives.

How long has it been since Wang Ao still wanted to play Kou Zijing? This has already touched Zhu Qiyu's bottom line.So Wang Ao was transferred to Nanjing to sit on the bench, and Xu Youzhen, who was willing to make contributions, came up.

Xu Youzhen ordered people to invite the leaders of the large and small forces in Guangdong and Guangxi, and made a clear promise not to harm each other.Not only will it not harm each other, but it will also give everyone a great opportunity to make contributions.

Huang Xiaoyang didn't want to be a pirate all his life. The Ming Dynasty was so powerful that it would be easy to annihilate him as long as he was serious about it.Therefore, with Xu Youzhen's guarantee of the emperor's credit, Huang Xiaoyang came despite being uneasy.

Before Xu Youzhen left Beijing, she pestered Zhu Qiyu and insisted on a handwritten letter persuading Huang Xiaoyang to surrender.Xu Youzhen wanted to use Huang Xiaoyang as an example and play a role in establishing trust.

Huang Xiaoyang can be spared, so the others don't have to worry about being settled by the imperial court.

In the main tent of the Chinese army, Xu Youzhen set up an incense table, placed the imperial edict on it, and said to everyone: "I, Xu Youzhen, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, have full authority to handle all military and political affairs in Guangdong and Guangxi and lead troops to recover Annan in accordance with the imperial decree.

There is a sacred object here, you can take a closer look.The imperial edict clearly promised that as long as you are willing to serve in the army, I have the right to forgive past crimes.

If you have achieved military merit, the court will not hesitate to reward you generously. "
