Chapter 286: Huge Hidden Danger and Mountain Legions
"Your Majesty, Sun Chuanting and the little noble son ask to see you."
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and early in the morning of this day, Zhu Youxiao had just finished washing up and had breakfast, when a female official came to report.
Sun Chuanting and Xiao Guizi came together?
This is a rare occurrence.
But in any case, it is bound to be a military problem.
Moreover, this matter is not small.
Otherwise, there would be no way for the two of them to come together.
"Xuan."
Zhu You said to the female official, and then strode to the bright room of the Qianqing Palace, sitting and waiting.
On this hot day, the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace was basically closed, and Zhu Youxiao received the ministers, usually in the bright room in front of him.
This bright room is very tall, and there are several huge ice basins placed in all directions at all times, which is very cool, and it is much more comfortable than the small warm pavilion.
didn't let Zhu Youxiao wait long, that is, half a cup of tea, Sun Chuanting and Xiao Guizi walked into the Qianqing Palace together.
After the courtesy, Zhu Youxiao gave the two of them a seat and looked at Sun Chuanting quietly.
Although Xiao Guizi is the emperor's absolute confidant and has great power, he is far inferior to Sun Chuanting in terms of official position and importance.
Therefore, he also sat quietly on the wooden chair with great interest, waiting for Sun Chuanting to speak first.
As a eunuch, knowing interest and etiquette is the most basic operation, and of course he will not go to the scene to make His Majesty the Emperor disgusted.
"Your Majesty, the Liang State in the southwest originally wanted to march towards Sichuan, which attracted the attention of Qin Liangyu and Hong'er, and led the army to confront each other on the border between the two places."
"However, the evening before yesterday, hundreds of thousands of native soldiers of the Liang State suddenly withdrew their troops."
"Early yesterday morning, hundreds of thousands of troops turned around and advanced towards Myanmar in the southwest, and in the early hours of this morning, a big battle had started with the Burmese side!"
Sun Chuanting's face was not shocked, and he continued, "According to the intelligence bureau's intelligence, it was the mysterious person who stood behind Liang Wang Chongming and An Bangyan and made a move. ”
"This mysterious guy, I don't know what means to use, persuaded the Western Liang State to give up the expansion to Sichuan and Huguang, and turned around to attack many small countries in the southwest, including Burma."
"Your Majesty."
Xiao Guizi took over the conversation at Sun Chuanting's signal, "A lot of intelligence shows that the target of Xiliang State's operation this time is not just Myanmar. ”
"After they turned around and moved in, their troops were divided into three routes, with an army of 200,000 all the way, led by Hao Chongming himself, and directly killed Burma."
"One route is An Bangyan leading an army of 150,000 to pounce on the coastal areas of the south and the northern country."
"On the last road, Fan Hu, the brother-in-law of Hao Chongming, led an army of 150,000 to attack Laos."
"It seems that they want to come out with the main force and take down the ...... of these three small southern countries in one fell swoop"
"Your Majesty."
After the little noble son finished reporting the situation, Sun Chuanting's face suddenly became solemn, "These two countries, North Vietnam and Laos, were taken by Xiliang for a few months, and there is nothing to take." ”
"It's just that when the time comes, I'm afraid that they will continue to advance towards Vietnam, and then we will be in trouble."
"The country of Vietnam is now basically occupied by the Dutch, and the king of Vietnam is just a puppet on the surface." Sogou Library
"And today's Dutch are really in the prime of life, and they can be called the world's number one maritime power."
"King Naxi Liang and An Bangyan, who don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick to challenge the Dutch, will inevitably fail, and then the two sides have a great possibility of meeting and peace."
"With the greedy urine nature of those Westerners, the two sides will inevitably make a big deal, so that a large amount of money will fall into the hands of the Dutch, and a large number of firearms will flow into the hands of the Western Liang Kingdom."
"With the methods of those behind the scenes of Chongming and An Bangyan, it is inevitable that a firearms unit will be formed on a large scale."
"In this way, at most half a year later, this situation will basically happen as scheduled, and we will have one more strong rival!"
"And if the channel between the south and the Westerners is opened, the Southern Ming puppet dynasty will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and it will become inevitable to trade arms with the Westerners on a large scale by colluding with extravagant Chongming."
"Therefore, after three months at most, we can no longer let the two of them continue to expand their power unscrupulously."
"In three months, we must send one or two large armies south to destroy this so-called Western Liang Kingdom in a short time!"
"When the vast southern coastal area is in your pocket, it is best to beat the rabbits with grass, destroy the Dutch entrenched in Vietnam, and control the long southern coastal area in your hands!"
After listening to Sun Chuanting's analysis report, Zhu Youxiao knew that in this inconspicuous series of actions in the Western Liang Kingdom, there was so much information and many hidden dangers.
He also lost the lightness he had at the beginning.
Frowning slightly, Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said, "Spread my will, the imperial court will immediately allocate enough money and food to enter Sichuan!" ”
"Edict Qin Liangyu, I give her three months, the money, food, and soldiers are enough, and we must form a mountain group army with three legions for me within three months!"
"This mountain group army is named the "Sichuan Army"! There are three corps, under the jurisdiction of nine divisions and regiments, with a total establishment of 270,000 people, which is exactly the same as the establishment and armament of the Yongwei Army. ”
"Three months later, the Sichuan army marched south in one fell swoop and wiped out the so-called Great Liang Kingdom of Yu Chongming and An Bangyan!"
"Little nobleman, with my will, you personally escort enough money, food and armor into Sichuan!"
"Ask that Qin Liangyu, do you dare to take on this heavy responsibility! If she can't do it, she will hand over the formation of the Sichuan Army to Hong'er's Broken Army Corps. ”
Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment, and then said, "Let the eight of Heiyunlong's father and son, Mangui and them, and those generals of the old dynasty who have passed the recruit officer assessment, go together!" ”
"Let's just say, I give them a chance to serve the Ming Empire again, and join the Sichuan army, whether they can make a difference depends on their own."
"I will give them this chance, as for whether they will get ahead again, I will not care anymore, it is all up to their own efforts, and they will not wait."
Indeed, it is not a matter to leave those talented generals of the old dynasty idle in the capital all the time.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to form a large-scale Sichuan army, and let them out in one fell swoop, with Qin Liangyu in charge, whether they can rise again, Zhu Youxiao can be regarded as doing his part.
As for why reorganize such a large Sichuan army as a group army?
It is impossible for Zhu Youxiao, who came from later generations, not to know the difficulties of mountain warfare.
It is necessary to form a professional mountain army in order to successfully destroy the Western Liang Kingdom of Xuan Chongming and An Bangyan.
Fighting in the dense forests in the southwest of the Ming Empire, the average corps could not bear it at all.
If you are not careful, even if the Ming Empire has a great military advantage, it will still be defeated.
The Stars and Stripes Banner Country, which did not see the future generations, had such powerful equipment, but it was still caught in the quagmire of the southwest region.
In the end, they were not able to conquer the southwest, but retreated with heavy losses.
Even the Stars and Stripes Banner Country in later generations fell into that kind of fate, and of course Zhu Youxiao would not use ordinary legions to attack the Western Liang Kingdom of Yu Chongming and An Bangyan.
Professional things should be done by professional people, so that they can get twice the result with half the effort.
