Yongle Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yuanzhang with cheats, Zhu Di went crazy

Chapter 243 The number one poison master is indeed worthy of his reputation.

"This is the current situation in the Second World. The Russians may send people over to negotiate and delay the process."

After leading Wang Xuance back to the space, Zhu Zhanjun explained to the two their next tasks.

Xu Shou and others also helped to supplement the situation of the second world.

After the two had a general understanding, Zhu Zhanjun began to assign work to them.

"What does the lord think?" Wang Xuance pondered for a while, but did not express his thoughts. He asked Zhu Zhanjun first.

Zhu Zhanjun laughed and said, "What can you think of this? The Russians will definitely not accept this. There will definitely be a winter battle next. This is what they are best at, and it is also the only way for them to repel us."

"Your negotiations with them are, to put it bluntly, just a waste of time."

Jia Xu nodded, then shook his head and said, "Even though it's a waste of time, we still have to ask for a high price. Let them be mentally prepared first. When we defeat them, they will have an idea of ​​how to negotiate."

"Before they come, they will definitely discuss the requirements for negotiations, and the standards will be the conditions we put forward this time."

Zhu Zhanjun laughed and said, "That's right, just let them have an idea in mind first."

"But I have to make it clear here that we will never give up the land we have taken. Not only that, we will make them continue to spit out more land."

"My lord, I have a plan."

After Zhu Zhanjun finished speaking, Jia Xu suddenly bowed and clasped his hands.

Zhu Zhanjun's eyebrows suddenly jumped.

"What do you mean?"

Jia Xu smiled, gently waving a palm leaf fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "Treat others in their own way."

"They want to use winter to defeat us, but they are not invincible in winter. The winter there will not stop them just because they are their own people."

"And according to what you said, my lord, they don't seem to be indigenous people either."

Zhu Zhanjun seemed to be thinking about something and motioned for the other party to continue.

Jia Xu waved the round fan in his hand again and said slowly: "Warfare in winter is nothing more than people's lives, for food, clothing, shelter and transportation."

"Anyone will have difficulty moving in the cold winter, and even these Russians are no different. The only difference is that they have adapted better."

"They chose to fight in winter, hoping to use this to defeat us."

"But they don't realize that we have a cavalry team and we don't care about these things."

Zhu Zhanjun looked at Wu Sangui.

Zhu suddenly realized, "Jia Wenhe, you mean to let Wu Sangui lead the Guanning Iron Cavalry to attack them by surprise."

"No, no." Jia Xu shook his head. "A sneak attack is the worst strategy, and it is too slow."

"Food, barracks, logistics."

Zhu Biao's eyes lit up and he expressed his guess.

Jia Xu smiled and gently waved the palm-leaf fan in his hand.

"Without adequate food, warm barracks, and sufficient logistics, even the most powerful army will inevitably be defeated, especially in the extremely cold winter."

"The Guanning Iron Cavalry is not affected by winter. My lord, get some winter-resistant animals and have them assist Wu Sangui and his men in their reconnaissance."

"With the two complementing each other, no matter how many troops they send, without food, barracks and logistics, they will only be defeated in this desolate ice field."

"We, the Ming Dynasty, don't even need to take action. They will be defeated by the winter they rely on."

"In addition, my lord, you can use the characteristics of space to raise more carnivores in this area. I suggest raising wolves."

Jia Xu's expression was calm, and he said calmly, "The wolf's sense of smell and alertness are the highest among all creatures, and we chose wolves from this area, so they have a natural adaptation to this area."

"We can expand these wolf populations very quickly."

"A pack of dozens of wolves won't pose a threat to the army, but what about hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of them?"

"hiss!"

Hearing such a suggestion, Old Zhu, who considered himself to be ruthless, couldn't help but take a breath.

Tens of thousands of snow wolves, what a terrifying scene it would be.

One soldier can easily deal with one wolf, and it would be even easier for ten soldiers working together to deal with a pack of ten small wolves.

But once the number reached thousands or even tens of thousands, in the dark jungle on a snowy night, countless dark shadows, under the command of the Wolf King, launched a silent raid on the army.

Zhu Yuanzhang had no idea what would happen to others, but if the army he led during the rebellion encountered such a situation, it would be inevitable that it would collapse.

Looking at Jia Xu, who had a calm expression and was expressing his inner thoughts, Old Zhu felt a surge of emotion.

"The Three Kingdoms' No. 1 Poison Master is indeed worthy of his reputation."

This gentleman didn't care at all about how much damage tens of thousands of wolves would bring to the jungle.

When the enemy is defeated in the future, the other party has not even considered how to deal with this wolf. The only thought in his mind is how to resolve the war in the simplest and most profitable way.

It has to be said that Zhu Zhanjun was moved after hearing the suggestion.

He wasn't worried about dealing with the wolves.

The creatures in the space that feed him have a natural obedience to his commands.

After the war is over in the future, he can order the wolf pack to disperse throughout Siberia.

In this way, the survival of the wolf pack is not only guaranteed, but also countless spies are added invisibly.

No matter who sneaks in, once discovered by the wolf pack, they will be surrounded and killed by the vicious wolves.

Zhu Zhanjun looked at Wu Sangui and said, "Go and do this. I don't care what method you use. I want no less than 100 pairs of wolf cubs."

Wu Sangui scratched his head when he heard this, feeling very worried.

It's okay to catch chickens and ducks, but where is he going to catch 100 pairs of wolf cubs and 200 wolves?

But looking at Zhu Zhanjun's expression, there was no room for negotiation, so he could only agree reluctantly. He stood up and left the space, while looking at the troops and giving orders to capture the wolf cub.

However, before Wu Sangui left, Jia Xu gave him some additional instructions, asking him not to focus solely on it, but to also consider other animals that could survive the cold winter.

If possible, rats can also be considered. Instead of burning the enemy's food and putting soldiers at risk, it is better to simply send rats to eat it.

Zhu Zhanjun, Old Zhu, and Zhu Biao were all scratching their heads after listening to Jia Xu's explanations.

Each of these plans is extremely sinister, or to put it bluntly, they are rogue tactics.

However, Zhu Zhanjun had to admit that this method did maximize benefits.

"You must not abuse this kind of plan in the future. It is too detrimental to the harmony of nature."

After Jia Xu and Wang Xuance followed Wu Sangui to the army, Liu Bowen grabbed Zhu Zhanjun and gave him stern instructions.

Zhu Zhanjun nodded.

The saying "harming the harmony of nature" is just a superstitious one. The real reason is that it breaks a certain balance, which will cause backlash in the future.

For example, if there are too many wolves, the number of herbivores will naturally decrease rapidly. Without herbivores, these wolves will become starving and will naturally shift their targets to humans.

And using rats is not a wise idea, to be honest.

Rats carry viruses, and their reproductive capacity is very strong, coupled with their voracious appetite.

If it cannot be controlled, not only will the stored food at home be destroyed, but fresh seedlings will not grow in the fields.

Thinking of the scene in the future where wolves and rats could not be controlled and were everywhere in Siberia, Zhu Zhanjun could not help but shudder.

"Your Majesty, I just received news that the Guangzhou general actually colluded with the British and French forces and allowed those foreign devils to land in Guangzhou."

Zhu Zhanjun was just about to return to reality and rest for a while when Zheng Zilong, who did not attend the meeting tonight, rushed in hurriedly.

"When was the news?"

Zhu Zhanjun frowned, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Zheng Zilong quickly reported: "The news was received half an hour ago."

"According to our plan, I have made preparations for war in Fujian and other areas."

"As a result, the enemy didn't come, so I sent someone to get information. I received a reply half an hour ago that the Western coalition forces landed in the morning."

"According to the interrogation of the captured suspects, the enemy's coalition commander heard from somewhere that we had many ironclad steam warships, so he changed his tactics and gave up the idea of ​​a naval battle."

"They plan to attack us from the land, and then force you, Your Majesty, to compromise directly."

"In addition to these foreign devils, the Guangzhou general has assembled 30,000 troops and plans to attack together with these foreign devils."

After listening to Zheng Zilong's story, Zhu Zhanjun pondered for a moment and said, "First, find a way to destroy their ship so that they have no room to retreat."

"As for the time of action, it's up to you to decide. I only have one request for you, which is to cooperate with Zeng Guofan's Southern Army to capture the Guangdong and Guangxi regions and eliminate the invaders who have set foot on our territory."

"Also, I want to keep that Guangzhou general alive. He betrayed his country. I want to make him into a specimen so that everyone will know that this is the result of betraying the nation."

"Everyone in the family, regardless of gender, age or even a dog, must shake the worm egg and split it in half."

"Yes."

Zheng Zilong responded loudly, saluted, and turned to leave.

Zhu Zhanjun hated these traitors and would kill any of them without letting them go.

Second World, dusk of August 17th.

The Guangzhou Pearl River Wharf is bustling with people.

This is a distribution center for marine goods. Since the north was occupied by the Ming Dynasty, it has also become a paradise for smugglers.

Countless items are sold here every day, and countless people are abducted to other places to work as laborers.

Since the foreigners came, this place has become more lively.

There are peddlers selling snacks, dock workers carrying goods, and pimps who bring business to their own homes.

Shouts, lively laughter, and conflicts and quarrels could be heard from time to time at the dock.

“This is truly a paradise on earth.”

A group of British sailors who came down from the ship could not help but sigh as they looked at the bustling crowd and the pimps who were soliciting business by holding up portraits of their own girls.

"Yes, it's a paradise on earth, but it's not our territory yet."

A big nose echoed, shrugging casually.

"Okay, guys, we sneaked off the ship and we only have two hours. Otherwise, when the captain and his men come back and find that we are not at our posts, we will be finished. Let's hurry up."

After saying that, he walked towards a turtle man impatiently.

The other sailors had no objection and smiled in a way that all men understood, and each went to look for his own desired target.

A small vendor selling candied haws at the dock saw this scene, pulled his felt hat, carried the candied haws stand, and slowly moved towards the boat.

Besides him, there were various other people slowly approaching the foreign ships docked at the pier or the defensive batteries on the pier.

Five nautical miles away from the dock, nine warships and a dozen transport ships were waiting quietly.

On the boat, Zheng Zilong held a new pair of binoculars and looked quietly at the dock area.

Zheng Zilong adopted the sneak attack not because he was cowardly, but because he wanted to capture these ships.

Although he had nine steel warships, these nine ships were of no use in the face of the vast coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty.

Just when he was worrying about how to get a boat, these foreign devils delivered the boat to him.

Zheng Zilong was so touched, what a good person.

He borrowed four battalions of troops from Zeng Guofan and also got a spearhead team.

This spearhead team is good at assassination. Their mission is to kill the personnel remaining on the ship's turret and preserve the integrity of the ship as much as possible.

Half an hour later, a firework rose straight into the sky and exploded into a beautiful flower.

Zheng Zilong put away the telescope, smiled and waved.

The ship that had been on standby for a long time was running at full speed, dragging the transport ship towards the dock at the fastest speed.
