Zhu Cijiong slowly glanced at the generals present, familiar faces appeared in his eyes, scenes of movies and TV plots flashed in his mind, most of the people present were famous generals who went down in history, but in history, in the Chongzhen Dynasty, their endings were almost all tragic.

Like Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Cao Wenzhao, Man Gui, Ma Xianglin, Qin Gongming, etc., they all died in battle and died in battle;

Sun Chengzong led his family to resist the Qing army at the age of 75, and hanged himself after the city was broken, and died unyieldingly;

Qin Liangyu, who regrets that she is old at the end of her life, may be the luckiest among them, but with so many relatives sacrificing their lives for the country, the grief in her heart may be worse than death;

As for Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui and Zuo Liangyu, their reputation is not as good as dying in battle!

Of course, history has been rewritten by him, these people are now high-ranking generals with heavy armies, and their tragic fate has left them, and today is to discuss how to clean up Huang Taiji, the fateful enemy who brought them pain, humiliation and even shame in history.

Thinking of Huang Taiji, Zhu Cijiong only felt a wave of anger rushing to his mind, he couldn't help but press his hands on the table, stood up with a rub, and said loudly: "Everyone, ......." “

As soon as he spoke, there was a 'swish', all the generals stood upright, and the emperor stood up, who would dare to sit!

Zhu Cijiong nodded, and continued to say loudly: "Everyone knows that Jiannu has always been a confidant of the Ming Dynasty, and last time they let them run away in Liaodong, Huang Taiji cultivated in the Mongolian steppe for a few years and began to frequently raid the Ming border, wanting to lead me to the grassland to fight a decisive battle. I knew that he wanted to reproduce the miracle of the Battle of Sarhu and the Tumubao Change, before the Battle of Salhu and the Tumubao Change, the Houjin of Jiannu and the Mongol Waspur were far from the Ming Dynasty, but in the end they both took advantage of the Ming Dynasty's command mistakes to win, I naturally would not make such a mistake, this time I recruited everyone to discuss a detailed strategy to ensure that nothing goes wrong. “

The generals present all showed praise on their faces, if they were stimulated, blindly sending troops would lead to defeat, and planning and then moving was the way to win.

Zhu Cijiong then took out a long ash rod, pointed to the sand table model in the middle of the table and introduced: "This is the topographic map of Southern Mongolia that I asked Jinyi Wei to explore, now the Jiannu and Mongolian tribes are mainly concentrated in Chahar, Horqin and Hailar, the Chahar grassland is where the Manchu Khan's court is located, there are about 100,000 Jiannu cavalry and 100,000 Mongolian cavalry, and Horqin and Hailar are dominated by Mongolian tribes, about 50,000 Jiannu cavalry and 100,000 Mongolian cavalry, that is to say, Jiannu now has 500,000 cavalry!" “

Before seeing the sand table model, Zhu Cijiong always thought that the Mongolian grassland was a large plain, a horse and a flat river, endless, after seeing the sand table model, he knew that he was wrong, and the mistake was outrageous, most of the desert in southern Mongolia are undulating deserts, and only a few basins have grasslands. The three largest grasslands, Chahar, Horqin and Hailar, all cover an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers, and there are a dozen or so medium-sized grasslands of thousands of square kilometers, while the rest of the country is basically desert and Gobi.

He already had his own ideas about how to attack Zhu Cijiong, he pointed to the sand table model and continued: "I now have a preliminary strategy, that is, the troops are divided into three ways, directly attack the three prairies, and destroy the Jiannu in one fell swoop.

A total of 400,000 horses and horses of the First Legion of the Praetorian Guard, the Second Army of the Praetorian Guard, the Qin Army and the Dingliao Army were led by me to attack the Chahar steppe from the capital;

Lu Xiangsheng led a total of 300,000 horses and horses from the Tianxiong Army, the First Army of the Frontier Army and the Wuwei Army to the east, moved from Beidaying to Haizhou City and attacked the Horqin grassland;

A total of 300,000 horses and horses led by Sun Chengzong led by Sun Chengzong to the north route set out from Guanning City to attack the Hailar grassland;

Huang Taiji wanted to play all the breaks, but I let him not break any of them, with the combat power of the regular army of the Ming Dynasty, 300,000 horses marched in groups, and he just gathered all the 500,000 cavalry to attack all the way, which was useless.

As for the defense, Hong Chengchou still led the Shaanxi Reserve Corps to guard the front line of Yulin, Gansu, and Ningxia;

Zuo Liangyu still led the Shanxi Reserve Corps to guard Shanxi, Xuanfu, and Datong;

In addition, 50,000 elite soldiers of the Beiyang Naval Division were transferred to cooperate with the Jinyi Guard to guard the capital;

50,000 elite soldiers of the North Sea Fleet were transferred to guard the East Battalion;

transferred Wu Sangui's Henan Reserve Corps and Zu Dashou's Dongying First Corps to guard the northern camp;

Liaodong, as for it, was guarded by Ma Xianglin's Second Frontier Army Corps and You Shiwei's Korean Legion;

That's about it, okay, let's all sit down, think about it, and see if there's anything wrong with my strategy. “

After saying so much in one breath, Zhu Cijiong's mouth was dry, he directly put the ash rod on the table, sat down, picked up the teacup and poured it a few times.

All the generals stared at the sand table model and sat down slowly, frowning solemnly and thinking hard.

You must know that the Ming Army has a total of thirteen legions, except for the first legion of the expeditionary force and the second legion of the expeditionary force that went to Nanyang, there are eleven legions left in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Cijiong saw that everyone's expressions were so solemn, and knew that they were all frightened by his actions of raising the strength of the whole country to fight with Huang Taiji, and he couldn't help but explain: "I have carefully studied the battles of the northern expedition of the grassland nomadic tribes of the Central Plains Dynasty in the past dynasties, and the most successful of them are Hou Huo, the champion of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who went to the north to conquer the Xiongnu, Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo during the period of Li Shimin of Tang Taizong, to pacify the Turks, and the Northern Expedition to Mengyuan during the Taizu period of this dynasty.

It's a pity that the Han army is limited, and Huo Qubing can only rely on his personal bravery to chase the Huns far away, but he can't do his best;

Although the Tang Dynasty exterminated the Eastern Turks, it did not exercise effective control over the Monan region, so that it later rose and occupied an even larger territory than the Tang Dynasty;

Emperor Taizu was eloquent and strategic, and after eight Northern Expeditions, he finally subdued the Mengyuan Tribes, but I didn't have as much time as Taizu, you must know that Taizu's Northern Expedition took more than 20 years.

At that time, the European continent countries had not yet risen, and the Ming Dynasty was the only heavenly kingdom, so they didn't have to care about that time, but now the European continent countries have begun to colonize all over the world, if they are left unchecked, they will inevitably be so strong that the Ming Dynasty cannot confront it, if it really comes to that time, the Ming Dynasty is in danger.

Therefore, I want to concentrate all my forces, destroy Jiannu in one fell swoop, and include the Monan region in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, garrison troops to relieve worries, and go all out to face the European powers! “
