Although they were in front of the army, the etiquette of welcoming the Holy Emperor could not be reduced. In addition, Li Jinzhong led people to the Xuan Mansion to take Concubine Chen and Concubine Zhuang back to the palace, and the whole welcoming process became even more cumbersome!
It took nearly two hours for all the ceremonies to be completed before Zhu Youxiao was welcomed into the Xuan Mansion. The two concubines did not stop at the Xuan Mansion, but were sent back to Beijing by Li Jinzhong without stopping!
Zhu Youxiao entered the Xuan Mansion and immediately raised his account to summon the generals without saying a word!
In the general military office of Xuan Mansion, Xiong Tingbi, Li Rubai, Qi Jin, Qin Liangyu, Cao Ling, Cao Wenzhao, He Shicheng, He Renlong and other generals gathered together!
Looking at so many generals under his command, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but secretly thought: "All of these people are strong men, but in the end, they destroyed the Ming Dynasty when they got into Chongzhen's hands. It is really the incompetence of one general that exhausted the three armies!"
Although he slandered his brother, Zhu Youxiao didn't feel any guilt. After all, the Chongzhen he thought of was not the same person as the current fifth brother Zhu Youjian!
After the generals saw the ceremony, Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "I don't like those red tapes, but if you don't follow those rules, those censors will probably have to pay for it again, but now I am the leader of the three armies, and those censors will Shi can no longer control me, so I won¡¯t be polite to you anymore. Commander Xiong, please tell me about our army¡¯s current preparations!¡±
Xiong Tingbi immediately said: "Your Majesty, our army has gathered a total of 250,000 soldiers and horses from the four towns of Datong, Xuanfu, Liaodong, and Yulin, plus 100,000 Guards, 240,000 Imperial Association Army, and another 250,000 soldiers and horses. The three guards of Duoyan and the attached Mongolian tribes have also gathered 30,000 cavalry to assist in the battle. Now our total military strength has exceeded 600,000, and we have sufficient food, grass and soldiers. Your Majesty can order the army to set off at any time!"
Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly when he heard that there were 30,000 Mongolian cavalry assisting the battle, and then said: "Tell the three guards of Duoyan and those Mongolian tribes that I am the lord of the world, and I am not asking them to help in the battle. If they are willing to be loyal, , then move the troops and horses into the Imperial Alliance Army, otherwise they can leave now, and I will never stop them!"
Xiong Tingbi was stunned and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, when our Ming Dynasty went to the grassland, there was always a precedent for the Mongolian tribes to assist in the war. If your Majesty takes this thunderbolt method now, I am afraid that it will hurt the hearts of the Mongolian tribes inside. If they let them Betraying my Ming Dynasty will probably affect our army¡¯s next battle plan, so I ask your Majesty to think twice!¡±
Zhu Youxiao said proudly: "Since Taizu and Chengzu, our Ming Dynasty has assembled an army of more than 500,000 to attack the grassland. This is the second time. The last time Yingzong suffered the Tumubao Incident, this time I will work with you to attack the grassland. The grassland has been completely wiped out. As for how many enemies we have to face, I don¡¯t care, because I know that no matter how many enemies appear in front of me, there is only one result waiting for them, and that is destruction!¡±
When all the generals heard this, they were all filled with pride and shouted in unison: "I am willing to die for your majesty!"
Zhu Youxiao smiled smartly and said: "Don't risk your life or death at every turn. We now have sufficient troops, well-equipped equipment, and the morale to conquer mountains and rivers. This battle will definitely crush the Mongolian tribes and make them surrender under our Ming army." , when the time comes, it will be a matter of course for you all to be promoted to official positions!¡±
The generals had long known that Zhu Youxiao, the emperor, had always been generous. Now that he had said this, he would naturally not be vague after the battle. So all their faces showed joy, and they said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty for the reward!"
Xiong Tingbi knew that Zhu Youxiao was determined, so he stopped persuading him. When the generals' voices fell, he asked respectfully: "Your Majesty, our army is fully prepared. I wonder when your Majesty plans to march?"
Zhu Youxiao stood up and walked to the map and said: "The Jin Yiwei has reported back. After Lin Dan Khan was defeated at the gate of Gelergen, he took the remaining troops to Kulun. In Kulun, he summoned the Mongolians who had not yet annexed him in the name of the Mongol Khan. The various tribes intend to compete with our army, but not many Mongolian tribes have listened to his call. Until now, less than 50,000 people have gathered around Kulun!"
Xiong Tingbi's eyes shot out with a bright light, and he said happily: "The enemy has 50,000 troops, and our army has 600,000. We are outnumbered in this battle. As long as we hold on to Xing Huanghuang's army, our chances of victory are certain!"
Zhu Youxiao showed a playful smile on his face and said: "Shuai Xiong's words are correct, but our army is 600,000. If we really press forward grandly, will Lin Danhan wait for us in Culun?"
Xiong Tingbi's eyes narrowed and he secretly thought that he was careless. The Mongolian cavalry has always been known for its strong maneuverability. If they win, they will bite you to death. If they can't win, they will run away. Facing such an enemy, if 600,000 people are really killed, When people press on it, it's really a cannon to swat mosquitoes. Not only is it overkill, but it also becomes a cat-and-mouse game!
Before Xiong Tingbi could speak, Zhu Youxiao pointed at the map and said, "I have already said that the purpose of this battle is not to destroy Lin Dan Khan.Instead, I completely control the entire grassland. I have conquered the Horqin tribe and ordered the Ministry of Industry to mobilize 100,000 slaves to build cities and roads within the Horqin tribe¡¯s sphere of influence. I really want to use the cities and roads to weave a large network to cover the entire grassland. in! "
Xiong Tingbi and the generals did not expect that Zhu Youxiao would have such an idea, and they were all stunned. Xiong Tingbi was a handsome man after all. After the initial shock, he immediately figured out Zhu Youxiao's plan and couldn't help but said: " Your Majesty wants to use cement to build castles and roads. In this way, it will not be difficult to cover the entire grassland with the city as the point and the road as the line. However, the project will be huge. Needless to say, it will also be the soldiers needed to guard those castles in the future. Food and grass are also a huge burden, and the court may not be able to bear it, right?"
Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied that Xiong Tingbi could think of this in such a short period of time, but he said confidently: "I have already thought of this. I plan to implement farming in Liaodong and the grassland. The land in Liaodong is vast and fertile, and can grow corn in large quantities. Potatoes and sweet potatoes are enough to ensure the food supply of the entire Liaodong and the grasslands, which will greatly reduce the burden on the court. The military villages on the grassland are mainly livestock raising, and crops can also be grown in small quantities. The war horses, cattle and sheep produced by the military villages are the imperial court We can be responsible for the acquisition, so that the source of the army¡¯s war horses is guaranteed, the military garrison can also reap benefits, and the horse administration in Shanxi and Shaanxi can also be abolished, which is a good thing for the army, the people, and the court!"
Seeing that Zhu Youxiao had thought of everything he could think of, Xiong Tingbi stopped saying more about the matter and continued to ask: "Your Majesty, if you want to play this game well, the most important thing is the current battle. I don't know what your Majesty wants." how to spell?"
Zhu Youxiao returned to the desk, sat down and said: "My plan is very simple, that is to divide the troops!"
After hearing what Zhu Youxiao said just now, Xiong Tingbi already guessed Zhu Youxiao's plan to divide the troops again, so he asked: "May I ask how your Majesty plans to divide the troops?"
Zhu Youxiao glanced at the generals and said: "I plan to divide the troops into five groups. The first group will be mainly infantry with a small amount of cavalry to march towards Culun, forcing Lin Danhan to make a choice with a crushing force. The remaining four groups will all be light cavalry. , attack from all sides, wipe out all the Mongolian tribes that are unwilling to join in, or force them to gather towards Kulun!"
Those present were all veterans on the battlefield, and they immediately understood Zhu Youxiao's intention, which was to use the threat of a large army to suppress Lin Dan Khan, and at the same time use cavalry to clear the grassland, either wiping out the tribes at the two ends of the river or forcing them to fight with them. Lin Danhan will join forces. The purpose of doing this is to completely clean the entire grassland!
As for whether Lin Danhan will run away after gathering a large number of soldiers and horses around him, Zhu Youxiao doesn't care, because as long as the grassland is cleared, it doesn't matter whether Lin Danhan runs away or not!
Taking a step back, Lin Danhan really fled without a fight. As long as he takes away those tribes and frees up the grassland, allowing Zhu Youxiao to complete his layout on the grassland, your grassland will no longer belong to the nomadic people. It is the ultimate strategic purpose!
Xiong Tingbi squinted his eyes slightly and twisted his beard. After thinking for a long time, he respectfully saluted and said: "Use a large army to suppress the territory, use rangers to attack and harass, and force the Mongolian tribes to give up the grassland. This is the way to win by miracle. Your Majesty is so talented. With a great strategy, nothing can be better than taking a chance!" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
