Yongxing Emperor Zhu Cihong was a great feudal minister, and the government and the opposition were sensational, but no one raised any objections, because the extermination of the rebels, the defeat of Jiannu, and the recovery of Liaodong, including the previous expulsion of Hongmaofan, the defeat of Dongying and other wars combined exceeded the Yongle Dynasty's Jingyan Battle in terms of scale and number of participants.

However, sour words are inevitable, Lord Zhang, you can, you have stepped down the first emperor, and married your daughter to the emperor, you are the prince and the prince of the country, you dominate the court alone, cover the sky with one hand, you can't do it, see what good things you can do after taking power.

Zhang Bin is in power, but it doesn't mean that no one dares to oppose him, it's useless for him to cover the sky with one hand, if he is really like Wei Zhongxian, he will do anything wrong as soon as he is in power, make all his relatives marquis, treat the treasury as his own inner treasury, and take all the credit of others as his own, there will always be those who are not afraid of death who jump out and fight with him!

Zhang Bin did not desperately seek personal interests for himself once he was in power like Wei Zhongxian, but he also did a rather crazy thing, Zhu Cihong's canonization edict was just a few days after it was issued, and the government and the opposition were still discussing this unprecedented feat in nearly two hundred years, and the cabinet and the military department suddenly issued a notice to the yamen in the capital and local officials in Nanzhili, Shandong, Fujian, etc.: Make every effort to prepare for war.

Is the grandfather of this country crazy or what's wrong, the world is too peaceful, Jiannu has surrendered, and he is still preparing for war, what kind of war are he preparing for?

Zhang Bin didn't say who he was going to fight, because he wanted to hit the enemy by surprise.

Songjiang Mansion, the military port on the island to the east, Zhang Bin stood with his hands in his hands, standing on the newly expanded pier and looking northeast from afar, silent for a long time.

Countless warships were shuttling back and forth on the sea in front of him, constantly transporting the Ming army soldiers and grain and grass here, and behind him were dense Ming army generals.

This time, his target is Dongying.

Dongying's neighbor is not a good neighbor, when you are stronger than him, he will pretend to be gentle and obedient, be friends with you, and when he is stronger than you, he will rush up and snatch everything!

He has been planning for a long time to clean up this evil neighbor, and now, it's time to do it.

He looked at it for a while before retracting his gaze, turned to the messenger and said, "Are you ready?" ”

Zhang Cha hurriedly arched his hand and said, "It's all ready, Grandpa Guo." ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he turned around and waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go and discuss it." ”

The generals responded with a bang and followed him to the barracks next to the port.

This is not a large military base, but a large transit station, so the scale of the barracks is not very large, but the warehouses are scary, and the whole port is surrounded by warehouses nearly two feet high, row after row I don't know how much grain, grass and baggage can be stored.

The barracks are built according to the model of the standard barracks of the East, with a canteen, a dormitory and a large conference room, and the chairs in the conference room have been emptied, leaving a large conference table in the middle, and the conference table is placed with a sand table model of Dongying.

This sand table model was made by Chen Hao, the commander of Zhang Bin's personal guards, for more than ten years, and it was made little by little.

Zhang Bin led the generals to stand around the conference table, and then pointed to the sand table above and said, "This is our goal this time, Dongying." ”

Although the generals have already seen a little clue, but as soon as Zhang Bin said this, they still couldn't help but show a little surprise, Dongying is not a good stubble, the previous dynasty Mengyuan was the strongest and did not conquer it, this Ming Dynasty, can it be done?

Zhang Bin then said heavily: "Everyone knows that the ambition of the wolf son of Dongying, the intention to get involved in the Ming Dynasty, the twenty-fifth year of Wanli, the twenty-fifth year of Wanli, the Dongying Pass Bai Toyotomi Hideyoshi invaded the Ming subject country Korea twice, and mobilized more than 300,000 troops before and after, intending to use North Korea as a springboard to attack the Ming Dynasty. ”

When the generals heard this, they all showed a heavy look of grief, in the past few decades, Daming has indeed experienced a lot of catastrophes, and it is sad to think about it.

Zhang Bin then said impassionedly: "Those who offend my Ming Dynasty, although they are far more than punishment, now, my Ming Dynasty has been prosperous, and the strength of the army is far beyond that of the Wanli Dynasty, it is time to clean up this group of Dongying Wokou." The emperor is determined to raise an army of land and water, cover the sea and go on an expedition, and level the East in one fell swoop! ”

Of course, this is not Zhu Cihong's meaning, but Zhang Bin's own meaning, Zhu Cihong was taken aback by his plan, but at this time, the Ming Dynasty is indeed strong, and its combat power even exceeds that at the beginning of the dynasty.

The generals no longer have the shock just now, just fight, just a bunch of robbers, can they resist the power of tomorrow!

Zhang Bin then ordered: "Marquis of Liaoyang, order you to lead the Tianxiong Army, the Dongjiang Army, the Sichuan Army, and a total of 90,000 horses as the vanguard, and prepare to set off tomorrow and march to Dongying Kyushu Island." ”

At this time, Jiannu has surrendered, all weapons have been confiscated, and all the nobles of the Eight Banners have been placed under house arrest in the capital, so there will be no waves in a short period of time, so Lu Xiangsheng does not have to sit in Liaodong.

When he heard Zhang Bin appoint him as the main striker, he immediately excitedly said, "The lower official obeys the order." ”

Zhang Bin then ordered: "Marquis of Haizhou, order you to lead the Qin army and the Shanxi army, with a total of 110,000 horses as the rear guard, responsible for transporting grain and grass and baggage, and guarding the occupied area. ”

Sun Chuanting's position as the secretary of the ministry has been given to Ni Yuanlu, and now he has the title of a cabinet scholar, and the reason why Zhang Bin arranged it this way is naturally to bring this strategizing Confucian general out to fight in the Quartet.

Alas, it was postponed again, and the howling bunnies of the Qin army probably should be in mood again.

He couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, but on the surface, he still resolutely bowed his hand and said, "The lower official obeys the order." ”

Zhang Bin then ordered: "Marquis of Jinjiang, order you to lead all the Weiyuan battleships and Zhenyuan cruisers of the Fuguang Naval Division to transfer the army officers and soldiers, grain, grass, baggage, and ammunition. ”

At this time, the Weiyuan battleships of the Fujian Navy Division were close to 200, and the Zhenyuan cruisers were close to 300, which could transfer nearly 200,000 troops at one time!

Yu Chenglong was not as meritorious as the soldiers of the Qin army, and he did not hesitate to give his hand and said: "The last general will obey the order." ”

Zhang Bin then ordered: "Nanyang Hou, order all the light warships of your Fujian Navy Division to support the army in combat. ”

This Dongying is surrounded by seas, and there are many inland seas, if there is no support from the navy, the battle will be extremely unfavorable, which is also the reason why Meng Yuan was helpless to take Dongying when he was at its strongest.

Zheng Zhilong already knew that Zhang Bin had the intention to take Dongying, and he had lived in Dongying for many years, and he was quite familiar with Dongying, so it was indeed appropriate for him to lead the naval army to support, and he did not hesitate to give his hand and said: "The last general will obey the order." ”

Next, Zhang Bin broke down the battle plan against the sand table model, and he made detailed arrangements for which army would attack which force at what time, and a major expedition to Dongying quietly began.
