Chapter 219: Strong Push
Twilight said frankly, "Yes. β
There is nothing to hide about these things, how can Zhu Di not see it.
Zhu Di bowed.
Someone happened to bring a chair and offer tea, so he sat down and took a sip of tea, and then said: "The military report I got today, the second and third are still chasing the two remaining cavalrymen of the Beijing camp who defected. β
Dusk thought about it, he didn't understand the military aspect very well, but he still had basic common sense, and said: "The cavalry that defected on the opposite side is not a broken boat, and it should be chased after it." β
The cavalry was very mobile.
Charging on the battlefield, there is a saying that it will decline again after one blow.
But in pursuit, there is one of the most important factors: supply.
Without supplies, no matter how strong the cavalry is, it is a paper tiger.
Zhu Di smiled bitterly, "One of the rebel generals who led the army is called Fang Yushan and the other is Lin Yuan, both of whom are from the southern scholar clan, are familiar with the art of war, and are well versed in the theory of war. β
Dusk was puzzled, "They have supplies to pick up?" β
Zhu Di shook his head, "No." β
Dusk became more and more puzzled, "Then they will be caught up sooner or later." β
Among the three guards of the rebellious Beijing camp, the cavalry should be three thousand, and the supply of three thousand is a big problem, and the war horses do not support the escape of these cavalry day and night.
Having said that, it is impossible for Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui to chase day and night.
The only advantage of the supply.
Zhu Di sighed: "Fang Yushan and Lin Yuan do not take the usual road, they never pass through the state capital, only pass through small counties, bypass all the garrison areas, where they pass, they will crush the local government with troops, requisition horses, snatch food, and never stay overnight, only give the war horses enough time to rest, if you look at it on the map, it is like an arrow, constantly shooting through the weak county town of my Ming defense, with a gentle arc, straight to Fujian." β
It should be a route that has been planned a long time ago.
Dusk was silent, "Can't stop, can't catch up?" β
Zhu Di hummed.
Dusk asked, "What about Mei Yin?" β
Zhu Di sighed, "I can't find it." β
Dusk understands, Mei Yin is definitely not with the big army, there are rebel cavalry over there to attract attention, Mei Yin is taking a small number of people to other places, plus his old forces cover, or some very dormant Jianwen old ministers turn a blind eye, it is indeed difficult to find.
The most important thing is that the Ming Dynasty is now vast and sparsely populated.
pondered for a while, "The establishment of the puppet dynasty is already unstoppable." β
Zhu Di nodded, "So I plan to take advantage of Mei Yin's arrival in Fujian before I can mobilize my troops and rush to Fujianβthe problem is that the guards of the Japanese slaves along the coast of Fujian should allow Mei Yin to quickly form a combat force." β
After saying that, he got up, "What else do you have to say?" β
Dusk thought about it and said shamelessly, "I want to go home." β
Zhu Di's face was black, "I'm thinking about Ling Chi or you now." β
Such a big thing happened, if you don't stay in prison for ten days and half a month, where will I put Zhu Di's face, and if I don't kill you immediately, you should be grateful to Dade.
Still looking forward to going home now?
Dream!
Dusk shivered.
Ling Chi?
Car crack?
I'm all β no, I can't afford this.
Hurriedly shouted to Zhu Di, "Your Majesty, slow down." β
Zhu Di stood still and didn't look back, "Said." β
Dusk asked earnestly: "Your Majesty, since you want to use troops against Fujian, the criminal minister wants to ask, where does the funds come from, is there really so much money in the treasury?" β
This is obviously impossible.
It has only been more than a year since he finished the Jing Martyrdom, and he is still editing the whole book, and he is still preparing to go to the West, how can he have so much money to make Zhu Di chic.
Zhu Di snorted coldly, "I have my own opinions. β
Dusk sighed, "Your Majesty wants to stop compiling books and going to the West first." β
Zhu Di: "So what? β
Dusk sighed slightly, "Your Majesty, the heartfelt words of the criminal ministers, the compilation of the whole book cannot be stopped, and the matter of going to the West cannot be wasted, and the use of troops in Fujian can be considered." β
"Oh?" An incomprehensible smile appeared on Zhu Di's face.
That's the purpose of his coming to prison today.
When he turned to look at dusk, there was no longer the slightest smile on his face, and he said gloomily: "What good plan do you have, if it works, I can consider not killing you, you should be cautious." β
Dusk slandered in my heart, your sister's Zhu Di, give Lao Tzu this hand.
Forget it, bear with it.
Who called him the Son of Heaven, he has to adapt to this situation, maybe he will have to fight with Zhu Di for the rest of his life in the future, after all, not all the courtiers are Tang Taizong and Fang Xuanling.
Said: "Mei Yin's trip to Fujian is a wonderful move, but it is also a last resort, because now in the Ming Dynasty, only Fujian has the soil for him to establish a puppet regime, but it also happens to be Fujian, which is a place where he will never be able to learn from His Majesty's success." β
Not everyone can become Zhu Di.
Not every place has the same soil as Beiping.
Although Fujian has opened the sea, the center of gravity of the sea is actually in Guangdong, and now in the Ming Dynasty, Fujian is actually one of the paradises where officials are degraded, because it is indeed remote and economically backward.
continued: "So the best strategy is that Your Majesty can transfer tens of thousands of troops and let Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng and others go-" After a pause, he glanced at his eldest brother Xu Huizu, and then said: "You can also let Xu Huizu go." β
Zhu Di bowed, "Go on." β
Dusk said: "Tens of thousands of troops, it seems that the strength of the guards in Fujian has a little advantage, or is more balanced, in fact, these forces do not need to fight at all, because once the fight starts, the loss is great, it is better to besiege but not attack, and then cut off the transportation and sea transportation to Fujian at the same time, and at the same time send people to do the work of the guards in various parts of Fujian, and plot against Mei Yin's henchmen and Jianwen's former ministers, so that they can surrender without a fight." β
Attack the heart first.
Once Fujian's transportation and shipping are cut off, even if Mei Yin owns Fujian, after the initial momentum of a tiger, people's hearts will gradually be lost, and Mei Yin's morale will become lower and lower.
Not attacking is attacking.
When Fujian is under the control of Mei Yin, because the shipping is cut off, it will be difficult for the economy to develop, and on the side of the Ming Dynasty, Yongle has created a prosperous era, and in contrast, the people's hearts and the army's hearts will completely fall to Zhu Di.
In the end, Mei Yin was trapped in Fujian.
It is impossible to say that someone will kill Mei Yin and use his head to make a nomination, so that the rebellion can be quelled without using troops, although Chen Bing tens of thousands of soldiers need to spend some money, but this money can still be obtained.
It is nothing more than adding a defense line on the border line of Fujian, which is equivalent to taking in the line of defense against Japanese slaves in Fujian, but in fact, it does not cost much more.
Zhu Di hummed, his tone a little disappointed, "I know." β
Turn around and want to leave.
Dusk belly, you listened to me, and said urgently, "This should be the strategy of many ministers in the court, but the ministers think that the Son of Heaven is untouchable, and Mei Yin touches it, and he should be angered by thunder, and he should be pressed by the army and push Fujian!" β
