In fact, the reason why Zhu Youxiao had such a bold and even crazy strategy was obtained from the book in his mind - those things in the Ming Dynasty. From his point of view, this book is a little ambiguous, but the general error is not big, and it is still very valuable.

In the original history, Xiong Tingbi was arrested and sent to Beijing, and the governor Yuan Yingtai took over the Liaodong Economic Strategy, and then accepted the Mongolian victims in the same way. When the Jurchens attacked, the Mongols rebelled in the city, creating chaos, and cooperating with the Jurchens in the outside world, and the two great cities of Shenyang and Liaoyang fell one by one.

Subsequently, the situation in eastern Liaodong collapsed, and all the east of the Liaohe River fell and was owned by the Jurchens, and to the west of the Liaohe River, the army and civilians fled, and the land was more than 200 miles away. At this point, Xiong Tingbi rose again and served as the governor of Liaodong, and the governor of Liaodong at this time became Wang Huazhen.

Wang Huazhen is the Donglin Party, Xiong Tingbi is the Chu Party, due to various reasons, Jingfu once again discorded, after that, Wang Huazhen fell into the Jurchen scheme, and listened to the traitor Sun Degong's words, resulting in a mistake in the military strategy and an empty defense. Sun Degong turned back in front of the battle, and in one fell swoop, the Ming army supported the reinforcements on the front line and the city of Guangning was sent to the Jurchens.

After the fall of Guanning, it stands to reason that it should retreat into the western Liaoxi corridor and hold Ningyuan, but Xiong Tingbi gave up all of them in order to vent a bad breath, and all the soldiers and civilians retreated into Shanhaiguan, and Liaodong was completely abandoned.

Ningyuan is surrounded by mountains on three sides, one side is the sea, it is definitely the important place to hold the western Liaoxi corridor, from the back Sun Chengzong to build the Guanning Jin defense line can be seen that the terrain here is dangerous and its importance, after the loss of Guangning, the Ming army still has seventy or eighty thousand people, absolutely able to repel the Jurchen attack here, but Xiong Tingbi is not, after Wang Huazhen failed, he ordered hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, retreated into Shanhaiguan, and he burned the materials hoarded in Liaodong, the entire Liaodong fell, and finally, the Jurchens were too deep, there was no food and grass, so they retreated on their ownIf not, it will definitely knock on the mountains and seas and shake the world.

In history, it is not unreasonable for the Apocalypse to kill Xiong Tingbi and spread the head of the nine sides. If it weren't for Sun Chengzong, who slowly tried to regain the lost territory, Nuer Hachi's own internal affairs ability was also a scumbag, and he slaughtered the Han people in the territory, I am afraid that Liaodong would be out of control at that time, and the Jurchens would have made a detour through Mongolia and invaded through the pass.

Of course, these are all things that happened in the original history, and they have not happened for the time being when Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne as emperor. Of course, to say the same, it was also the governor Yuan Yingtai who accepted the Mongolian victims and lost Shenyang. But it is precisely because of this similarity that Zhu Youxiao's brain is open.

What if I take the initiative to enter the Western Liaoning Corridor?

Pretending to take the opportunity of the rout, losing Liaoxi and Liaodong, and then arresting Xiong Tingbi with a holy decree, abandoning the land, and retreating into Shanhaiguan, the Jurchens will chase all the way into the Liaoxi Corridor as they did in history. If he used the Tianjin Navy to carry the Yulin Army and cut it off halfway, would he be able to encircle and annihilate the Jurchens?

When this brain hole was thought out by him, Zhu Youxiao suddenly breathed rapidly, and could no longer help but confide in the cabinet scholars, as he thought, almost everyone fiercely opposed his strategic plan, except for Sun Chengzong.

Everyone else went out, only Zhu Youxiao and Sun Chengzong were left in the main hall, looking at the deep and quiet old man, Zhu Youxiao suddenly sighed leisurely, "Why didn't the teacher stop it?" ”

"Because this plan is very successful, and once it is successful, it can be solved once and for all to solve the Liaodong Jurchen." Sun Chengzong replied calmly, he also saw the benefits of this strategic plan.

There are few Jurchens, and every battle is an attack by the whole army, and Hetuala's lair only leaves a small number of troops to defend, and all the young and combat-ready people join the army and plunder. At this moment, the 60,000 troops who captured Shenyang were already the entire strength of the Jurchens. Once the damage is severe, the Jurchens will face the danger of ethnic annihilation.

Even if Zhu Youxiao's strategy did not completely annihilate the Jurchens, as long as it could cause a large number of casualties, it would be excellent, and it would be helpful to recover the whole of Liao in the future, as long as 20,000 people were killed, it would be enough to cover the losses of abandoning the defense all the way. Sun Chengzong thought a little indifferently.

There is only one problem to worry about today.

"Can Your Majesty's Feather Forest Army take on this heavy responsibility?" Sun Chengzong asked with some concern. This is the only problem that needs to be faced in this strategy, and the rest can progress according to the plan as long as it is planned properly, but the positive and tough things are not planned to work.

When the Jurchen return road is blocked, the lack of logistics, there will definitely be a great combat effectiveness, and this is a great test of the combat effectiveness of the intercepting army, whether it can resist the Jurchen cavalry attack, is the core of the entire strategic planning, all kinds of tactics and lure the enemy into the depths in the early stage, are prepared for this station.

Zhu Youxiao did not answer immediately, but silently recalled the equipment of the Yulin Army and the Navy in his mind.

The Yulin Army has been equipped with 5,000 Apocalypse rifles, and the training is almost complete, basically reaching the level of three rounds a minute, but the key to this war is not in the musket, but the artillery △ The artillery of the god of war is the protagonist of this time.

Due to the use of iron cast cannons, the cost of manufacturing cannons has dropped sharply, and the materials are much stronger, the new type of 12 catties of cannons recast, using the classic shape of the red cannon with a thin front and thick back, the firing range can reach three kilometers, but the weight is only 2,000 catties, 16 taels in the Ming Dynasty, which is equivalent to the weight of 1.6 tons in modern weights and measures.

Of course, this weight is still too heavy for the Army, but for the Navy, it is just right. The twelve-pound cannon is the main cannon designed for the navy. The six-jin cannon is used as the main force of the artillery unit and is used in a centralized manner, and the three-jin cannon is a portable fire support weapon issued to the regimental battalion when the operation is dispersed.

Thinking back on the range data of the three types of artillery, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but increase his confidence, and replied to Sun Chengzong very affirmatively, "The Yulin Army will definitely be able to take on this important task, and it will definitely be able to annihilate the Jurchens in one fell swoop, teacher, please rest assured." ”

A sentence of teacher made Sun Chengzong's heart tremble, and he couldn't help but recall the scene when he first saw Zhu Youxiao, and in the blink of an eye, ten years had passed, and the original child had grown up and ascended the throne as the emperor.

Seeing Zhu Youxiao's confident and ambitious appearance, Sun Chengzong was also infected, and said very sincerely, "Your Majesty is so ambitious, and the old minister dares not to do his best." ”

"I always want to help, and this battle is done." Zhu Youxiao was overjoyed.

Next, the two began to discuss the strategic details of the plan, and kept discussing and perfecting, how to withdraw the army, which can not only lure the enemy into depth, but also reduce losses, how to lose Liaoyang without a trace, and how to use some spies to transmit wrong information.

It took a whole morning of deliberations to finalize the preliminary strategic details.

"It's noon, so let's stay and eat together." Zhu Youxiao stretched his waist and said with a big prick that the determination of the plan made him feel very happy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Sun Chengzong was as respectful as ever, and he turned a blind eye to the emperor's rude actions, and did not react at all.

It wasn't just Sun Chengzong who stayed for the meal, but also several other cabinet scholars, including the panting Li Ruhua. Unlike ordinary family meals, eating with the emperor uses the ancient system of separate meals, one table per person, on which several dishes and white rice are placed.

"Your Majesty usually uses it like this?" Looking at the few dishes in front of him, Li Ruhua asked in amazement. He was still angry and couldn't calm down at all, but when he saw the noon dishes, it seemed that the anger in his chest disappeared all of a sudden.

"How humble is it?" Huang Kezhang also sighed in a low voice.

Although the others did not speak, the expressions on their faces were the same, and some people even secretly slandered themselves in their hearts, they wouldn't have done it on purpose to show us. But this idea is just a thought, the emperor will deliberately act? Who is it for? This is not the afterlife, and the president needs to set an example.

After the possibility of sending a show, there is only one truth, and the emperor uses it on weekdays, and even the magnetic banquet of the ministers has not changed in the slightest.

"What's wrong? Isn't this food simple? Zhu Youxiao looked at the chickens and fish in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little strange. Shabby? No, roast fish and chicken, a green vegetable and a soup, how can it be simple if you eat these alone? So many things, it is a waste to eat alone.

In a trance, Zhu Youxiao seemed to reminisce that as an emperor, eating these dishes is indeed too much in the eyes of ordinary people, but it does not match his identity as an emperor, not only the quantity, but also the dishes, these dishes are too ordinary.

"You don't have to look at the food so simple, but it tastes really good. I have been like this since I was a child, ordinary chicken, duck and fish meat are enough, and there is no need to pay attention to rare and delicious. Zhu Youxiao explained, and then began to use chopsticks to eat.

The other people glanced at each other, and sighed in their hearts, "He is indeed a good emperor", and then began to eat. Everyone eats very elegantly, eating in small bites, without making a sound, and the movements are not too big, there is a feeling of caution, and even their eyes will glance at Zhu Youxiao, who is in the main position.

Unlike several ministers, Zhu Youxiao's movements are much more unrestrained, eating vegetables and eating in large gulps, eating extremely sweet, as if these are not ordinary chickens, ducks and fish, but delicacies like dragon liver and phoenix gall.

The emperor's unrestrained movements also seemed to be contagious to several ministers, who didn't know if they were really hungry or if they had let go of their attitudes, and their movements became bigger. Perhaps it was because the imperial chef was very good, and several ministers ate two bowls of rice, and half of the dishes were also eaten.

"Sins and sins, I hope Your Majesty didn't see the action of eating." After eating, several people suddenly prayed in their hearts, and the messy table in front of them looked like they usually ate by themselves. But when they turned their heads, they were relieved.

The Emperor was much more disaptune than they were on the table, the bones he spit out were piled up like a small mountain, and the dishes on several plates were all eaten cleanly, except for a little soup left.

"A few Aiqing have such a small amount of food, I can't give you so much next time, it's a bit of a waste." Looking at the leftover dishes of several people, Zhu Youxiao frowned. Although Zhu Youxiao lived in a materially developed place in later generations, the high price of vegetables made him develop a thrifty habit, and the vegetables would be eaten up and there would be no leftovers.

The emperor's words made several people stunned again, I don't know what it tastes like? Delight or disdain? A few people didn't know, but they suddenly realized that Zhu Youxiao, the emperor, was completely different from the previous emperors of the Ming Dynasty, whether it was his ability or life style.
