In Emperor Chongzhen's Chinese army tent, the civil and military ministers are on both sides, and people like Ta Long already wish that he was a transparent person, so that Emperor Chongzhen could not see it.

Xu Xianchun was even more eager to strangle the Jinyiwei who stayed in Daming - isn't this kind of information better for Dongchang to pass over than from Jinyiwei?

Now that His Majesty the Emperor is furious, Lao Tzu is standing in front of his old man alive, what should I do? Waiting online, people's lives are at stake, it's urgent!

Emperor Chongzhen pinched the letter in his hand and shook it: "What about people? Teenage children can't stand it, what are you Jinyiwei and Dongchang doing to eat! ”

Xu Xianchun just bowed down and said, "The minister should die!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen threw a handful of letters in his hand to Xu Xianchun: "Tell me to go down and send someone to me to find it!" If I can't find it, I want their heads! ”

Emperor Chongzhen, who was so angry that he was a little dazed, paced back and forth, and ordered: "Send someone to find it, and order someone to block all ports and borders, especially the southeast and Yunnan areas."

Also, the Duke of Qianguo led the troops back to Yunnan to inspect the front line, look for it carefully, and be sure to find this bastard thing for me! ”

After stopping, Emperor Chongzhen picked up the tea on the table and drank it all, and then continued: "After you find it, don't send it back to the palace, just tie it up to me." I'm going to hang him up and smoke him! I can't kill this little bastard, I have his surname! ”

Lai Zongdao, who accompanied the expedition, couldn't help it when he heard this, and bowed down and said: "Your Majesty is angry, take care of the dragon's body." As long as the eldest prince has not left the border of my Ming Dynasty, he will definitely be able to find it. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Lai Zongdao continued: "Even if you go out of the Ming border, the eldest prince will definitely come in this direction, Your Majesty and relax." ”

After snorting coldly, Emperor Chongzhen sat back on the chair.

The eldest prince ran away, found an excuse to sneak out of the palace, and ran away after getting rid of the little eunuch who accompanied him, leaving only one letter in the palace, which said that he was going to find his father and share his worries for his father.

Oh his mother!

Concubine Wan had already cried like a tearful person, and Empress Zhou was so angry that she simply doubled the manpower around each prince and forbade everyone to leave the palace.

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen then ordered: "Send an order to Wan Yancheng and let him take three thousand iron horsemen to search for the eldest prince after the army." ”

Only then did Emperor Chongzhen realize that his son had grown up - a teenager, and he was still busy with early love and skipping school in the next generation.

It is said that the people are hurt by the eldest grandson and the youngest son, but in fact, how is it not the case in the royal family?

Moreover, the eldest son of the emperor naturally has no possibility of inheriting the throne, so Emperor Chongzhen vaguely wants to compensate for this child in his heart.

As a result, I got used to something wrong - just at the age of ten, I learned to run away from home!

……

After shaking his head and putting these worries aside, Emperor Chongzhen turned his gaze to the civil and military ministers in the tent again.

In the original plan, it is a good thing that Myanmar is attached, but it will not be so eager to take it all in, at least there must be a time to slowly transition, so that Myanmar can be completely integrated into the Ming Dynasty.

However, Cromwell's words completely disrupted Talong's plan, and also completely disrupted Emperor Chongzhen's plan, causing Daming and Mughal to fight in advance - Emperor Chongzhen would not admit that he had been looking forward to this day for a long time!

After calming down his anger, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "Let's talk about it now, what should we do next?" ”

Nan Juyi bowed directly and said, "Your Majesty, Wechen, together with Admiral Zheng of the South China Sea Fleet, have attacked all the coastal defenses in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Goa.

Now that the coastal defense of these places has become useless, I can send guards to land in these places and take these places in one fell swoop.

After that, they could rely on these states as a springboard to advance northward step by step, and then join forces with the Burmese army, and then attack the entire Mughals. ”

Zheng Zhilong also spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Admiral Nan said is true. As long as you capture this piece of land, you can form a horn with Burma, and if you take Orissa, you can divide the army into three routes, divide into a joint attack, and go straight to Agra. ”

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen heard the word "split and combine", he felt a burst of sadness.

How did Salhu fail? The most fundamental reason is that it lies in the four words of division and combination!

In these days, not to mention satellites, there was not even a radio, and there were no wired telephones, and it was basically a matter of to want a proportionally distributed army to convey military orders.

It is precisely because of this that there is a saying that the generals are outside and the monarch's orders are not subject to - not on the front line, without access to the latest military intelligence, any order may be chaotic.

As for the clever tricks written in the literati's books, it is purely an attack of literary youth and can be cured!

In the fictional and real chapter of "The Art of War", it has been clearly pointed out that soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and those who win due to changes in the enemy are called gods.

A large number of literati who didn't even know the terrain of the battlefield were obscene, so they worked out this formation and that formation, and then told the generals how to fight - why don't you go on if you are so awesome?

Now the routine proposed by Zheng Zhilong is actually the same.

There is no problem with the soldiers being divided into three routes, and this time there are 500,000 people who came to the Mughal to make military achievements, and basically a quarter of the Ming troops were transferred, even if the soldiers were divided into three routes, each road could reach 170,000 people.

If purely from the point of view of the strength and firepower of 170,000 people per road, Emperor Chongzhen has enough confidence to anger the Mughals.

After all, the 500,000 people brought firearms, artillery and other equipment were basically enough to cover every inch of Mughal land.

However, the unreliability of the division and joint attack lies in the fact that these three armies have no way to support each other at all, and even if they do not need support, these three armies have no way to coordinate and divide labor among each other.

For example, according to Zheng Zhilong, the western route army is the one that takes Tamil Nadu and Kerala, the southernmost Mughal army, the middle route army is the one that takes Odisha, and the eastern route is the way from Burma.

The question is, where is Tamil Nadu located? Where is Odisha located? Where is Myanmar located?

Let's not talk about him on the Assam side, even if they are not honest, there is no need to worry, they can survive the attack of the army for a month without destroying the country, even if their ancestors' graves are well buried!

However, from the map to the south, from Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh to Tamil Nadu, these places are like a large island sticking out, and Odisha is just northeast of Andhra Pradesh.

In this case, the consequence of the division of troops in three ways is that Orissa will be the first region to be taken, and by the time the western army advances to Andhra Pradesh, the central army may have advanced to the Mughal hinterland, probably to the vicinity of Garingir, and finally to the princely states on the side of Gundwana.

And if all goes well, the army of the eastern route will probably advance to Bihar and probably reach Hajipur.

So the question is, the distance between the Middle Route Army and the East Route Army is not too far, and it is easier to deal with each other, what should the West Route Army do?

If you push forward all the way regardless of casualties and supplies, you can actually do it, at least it is not a big problem to advance to Sarangepur or Raison, and you can also deal with the middle army.

However, the key problem is that it is difficult to say how many hidden dangers will be left behind by pushing all the way forward.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen directly denied this strategy of dividing and attacking - it is okay to divide and attack, but it does not need to be combined.

In other words, it's okay for the soldiers to be divided into three ways, but each fights its own way, just take care of yourself, as long as you bury your head in the forward flat push, sooner or later you can flatten the entire Mughal.

After pondering for a while, Emperor Chongzhen said: "The South China Sea Fleet, in addition to the Southern Imperial Forest Guard, another 50,000 Beijing battalions, and the Qianguo Gong's side will transfer ten more guards who are good at mountain warfare, plus those pirates, under the command of Zheng Aiqing, to take Kerala and Karnataka for me."

The East China Sea Fleet was transferred to the north of the Imperial Forest Guard, and then 50,000 Beijing battalions were transferred, and the white pole soldiers were transferred in together, and they were dispatched by Nan Aiqing, and the proportion of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh was taken.

After these places were taken, the two Aiqing guarded these sea frontiers for me, and the land operations were handed over to the northern and southern royal forest guards to lead respectively.

The Southern Imperial Guards and their headquarters continued to the north, taking Bijapur, and the Northern Imperial Guards and their headquarters advanced to the northeast, taking Gaokangda, and finally joined the army at Bidar, and then continued to advance to the northwest of the entire Mughals. ”

After Zheng Zhilong and Nan Juyi bowed down together to receive the order, Emperor Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

In the whole Mughal battle, the most troublesome thing was the situation in the west.

Because of the northwestward direction from Kashqibang, you can slowly enter a place name that Emperor Chongzhen often hears - the Imperial Cemetery, where the hairy bear who suppressed the first generation was folded here.

Of course, there are many reasons why the woolly bear is broken, such as the eagle sauce out of silver, the rabbit out of small arms, and the cemetery out of people, and finally joined forces to bury the woolly bear.

However, Emperor Chongzhen, who was timid and afraid of death, was also extremely worried about whether this would become a Ming cemetery - after all, those existences that would boom at every turn were too fucking scary.

It's just that after thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen slowly put his mind at ease.

I want to boom this year! The cost is very high, first of all, it is the problem of gunpowder, and secondly, unlike the human rights of later generations, all rights are now the final say of Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen said that you are a person, then congratulations, you can have a Ming household registration and can arbitrarily bully the barbarians who do not have a Ming household registration.

If Emperor Chongzhen said that you are a barbarian, then I'm sorry, no one on the dead street will care, at least the Ming government will not care.

Therefore, the pirates like Li Qizi came in handy.

The pirates could capture these people at will, and then sell them to the imperial court for five taels of silver, and then the imperial court would arrange these "laborers" to work on the railway road and work on the construction of the railway.

No one will accuse Li Qizi and them, if someone accuses and is stronger than Li Qizi and other pirates, then go and talk to the South China Sea Fleet, their strength is higher.

After pondering the map for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen was about to study how to arrange the middle route army, when the little eunuch who had been guarding the door pushed open the tent door and knelt down and said: "Emperor Qi, Chengguo Gong and the British Bulletin." ”

Emperor Chongzhen snorted, looked up but didn't see the shadow of the messenger, his heart settled down, and casually ordered: "Bring the messenger in, just listen to any good news." ”

Only when the good news is good news will the messenger wait to be heard outside the tent.

If it was bad news that the battle situation was unfavorable, it would be just that the messenger sent by Zhu Chunchen would also be an urgent report from Hongling, and it would have come in directly without the need for the little eunuch to pass it through.

It's just that after the messenger came in, he gave a military salute, and then played: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Cheng Guo and the Duke of England have a secret report to hand over their duties to Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Chongzhen snorted, motioned for Wang Chengen to take the secret report, and asked while unpacking: "Is this trip to Assam going well?" ”

The messenger said: "Back to Your Majesty, everything went well on this trip, the lord of the Assam Shan State is weak, and he has led the army to Manipur without any army, and has found the remnants of the former Tang Dynasty. ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and asked, "Did the Duke of Chengguo and the Duke of England agree on the return date?" Have all the food and accommodation for those people been arranged along the way? ”

It's just that as soon as he finished asking, Emperor Chongzhen snorted and laughed, shook his head and said, "That's it, don't ask." Let's take a look at this letter. ”

After finishing speaking, Emperor Chongzhen said: "Come on, first bring the messenger down to have a good rest, and prepare food and wine." ”

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen was smiling a little without eyebrows, the civil and military officials in the big tent suddenly became curious.

Emperor Chongzhen's joy and anger, the civil and military officials have no way to guess, and they don't dare to guess, as long as they honestly do what they should do - I don't know how many fools who have died in vain about the heart of heaven, and the civil and military officials don't want to take the initiative to jump out and die.

After Wang Chengen handed over the letter to Lai Zongdao and the others to read, Lai Zongdao bowed down first and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty." Your Majesty's heavenly prestige is far and wide, and the Shan country surrenders without a fight, all thanks to Your Majesty's blessings! ”

Compared with Wen Tiren, who has always been "dedicated to his deeds and everyone thinks he is a good man", the reputation of Lai Zongdao is a little stronger, but now he is blowing the conch, and the others are also curious, and they have squeezed over, intending to see what is written in this letter.

After everyone else had read it, the civil and military ministers bowed down together and said, "Ministers, congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”
