"What Wang Qing said is reasonable, but our recovery of Jiaozhi is to actually occupy Jiaozhi, so that Jiaozhi will become my Ming Dynasty's grain base and an important base for controlling Western shipping routes, that is to say, whether he Mo Dengyong surrenders or not, for the sake of the people of Daming, he and Ruan Gan, these indigenous lords of Jiaozhi, must be eliminated!"

Zhu Houzhao said something at this time, which can be regarded as setting the tone.

The officials who participated in the court meeting were also hawkish officials who ruled the army and the people, and only paid attention to how to maximize the interests of the country, and did not care about the so-called reputation.

Therefore, the officials of the court also understood and accepted Zhu Houzhao's meaning, knowing that the Ming Dynasty is now different from the previous dynasty, and it is impossible to be self-sufficient, and as long as the current Ming Dynasty does not want to find a way to plunder abroad, the problem of domestic wealth and poverty will be aggravated, and there will be chaos.

The military department Shangshu Gui Cao stood up at this time:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if the next Mo Dengyong is as Wang Ge Lao said, please surrender to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty can take advantage of this to ask Mo Dengyong's army to accept the reorganization of the imperial court, and the officials under his command will be trained and appointed by the imperial court, and their territories need to be governed by the imperial court to send liuguan, as for Ruan Gan's department, the imperial court can inform Ruan Gan of Mo Dengyong's surrender and force him to surrender, if Ruan Gan refuses, he will be attacked again!"

Lin Tingxun, who had been the governor of Liangguang, couldn't help but take over: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Mo Dengyong will not be willing to be my Ming idle minister as Gui Butang said. ”

"What Lin Gong said is reasonable, and the minister also thinks that swords and soldiers are inevitable, and the minister has three strategies, which can be used for the reference of His Majesty and the princes in the court", Wang Shouren also took over at this time.

Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao asked Wang Shouren to say the three strategies of the upper, middle and lower, although the Ming Dynasty's attack on Jiaozhi is basically tantamount to a tiger eating a sheep, and there is no suspense about the outcome of the victory, but it is naturally the best to recover Jiaozhi at the least cost.

In this life, Wang Shouren did not suffer serious physical damage because of being demoted to the dragon kitchen, so his physique was not like in history because he was eaten by the court staff and then by the degraded dragon, which caused a rapid decline, so that he died before he reached the sixtieth birthday.

However, in this life, Wang Shouren can still stand on top of the court and give advice to Emperor Zhu Houzhao.

Now, even when it comes to strategic matters to recover Jiaozhi, Zhu Houzhao finds that it is much easier to deal with Wang Shouren in the court.

Wang Shouren said at this time: "Obey the order, the minister thinks that the best strategy is to promise the Ruan clan on the one hand to send troops to attack the Mo clan, but ask the Ruan clan to allow our Wang Shi to land in Thanh Hoa, and attack the Mo clan from the south, and at the same time, if the Mo clan asks for surrender, he will also accept the surrender of the Mo clan, and in the name of quelling the Ruan clan, ask the Mo clan to allow the Wang Shi to borrow the territory of the Mo clan and take the opportunity to destroy the Mo clan with the northern army and the southern army to destroy the Ruan clan. ”

"The middle strategy is that the Mo clan refuses to surrender, and the imperial court still asks the Ruan clan to allow Wang Shi to land in Thanh Hoa, and from the north and south directions, first destroy the Mo clan, and then destroy the Ruan clan."

"The next strategy is that if the Ruan clan refuses to borrow the way from my Daming, whether the Mo clan descends or not, it is necessary to destroy the Ruan clan first, and then destroy the Mo clan, because the north of the land of Jiaozhi is mountainous, and the south is a plain, and it is naturally easier for the fierce to attack Jiaozhi from the south!"

After Wang Shouren said, Zhu Houzhao nodded with a smile, he couldn't help but be more convinced that Wang Shouren was a very outstanding military staff officer, who could consider all the changes very clearly, and could also foresee the future, because he was familiar with history and knew that the Mo clan would definitely surrender.

"Aiqing's summary is comprehensive, I think that the Mo clan will definitely surrender, so now I see whether the Ruan clan is willing to borrow the way from my Daming, but whether he Ruan is willing or not, my Daming army needs to land in the southern town of Jiaozhi Thanh Hoa, when the time comes, the Ruan clan agrees to borrow the road, if not, they will directly occupy the important town of Thanh Hoa, and look for an opportunity to destroy the Ruan clan!"

Zhu Houzhao made the final decision, although the courtiers present all said, "Your Majesty is wise!" "But I don't understand why Your Majesty is confident that I believe that the Mo clan will definitely invite Daming, and even Wang Shouren doesn't understand why His Majesty the Emperor is more confident than himself, but he has to admit that although His Majesty the Emperor is younger than himself, he is easy to act impulsively, and he seems to be very reckless and imprudent on the surface, but it seems that he can really know the world five hundred years earlier than his own people, and he can always anticipate the opportunity.

Therefore, Wang Shouren did not question Zhu Houzhao at this time.

The envoys sent by the Nguyen clan left the capital with the conditions that the Ming Emperor had demanded that the Nguyen agree to let the Ming army land in Thanh Hoa and destroy the Mo clan under the pretense of destroying the Mo clan.

And at the same time.

The urgent delivery soldiers of the General Staff of the Guards also went to Guangzhou Mansion with Zhu Houzhao's will to ask Hu to immediately gather troops to Qinghua.

At all costs.

The basic strategy of the Ming Dynasty for the recovery of Jiaozhi has been established, and the next step is the specific operational problem of the front-line troops.

During this period.

Zhu Houzhao also asked the Daming Stock Exchange to issue war treasury bonds in order to gather capital to wage war.

Because in order to occupy Goa before, Daming issued this kind of bonds, and it also made the people who ate crabs for the first time a lot of money, and even created many private millionaires and even multimillionaires.

And now, the Ming Dynasty once again found the treasury bonds because of the war, and the people are still scrambling to put money into the Ming military, for no other reason, everyone believes in the strength of the Ming Guards, after all, the army running on the cement road of the main road every day, they have seen it with their own eyes, and it is natural to see that the Ming Dynasty will win.

At this time, the people of the Ming Empire obviously had confidence in the Ming Empire.

The army of the Ming Dynasty has also received a lot of financial support, of course, behind these financial support is also the support of the people.

And the people are also because they have invested in the war, and they have to pay more attention to the war of the empire than ever before, and it seems that nationalism has risen a lot all of a sudden, and the effect of brainwashing and education is even better, especially some selfish middle and upper classes, they don't care about the national righteousness of the country, but now because they also believe in the strength of the imperial ** team and invest in the war, they are now more concerned about the war that the Ming Dynasty is about to launch than ordinary people.

"Reckless use of force is not a move for the benefit of the country and the people, and the killing should not happen in China!"

The great Confucian Bai Songyi was very unceremoniously criticized the martial tactics of the dynasty in Yuelu Academy, but after the speech, he would also hand over the bundle of silver he received to his servant, and said: "Immediately go to Wuchang Mansion to buy a treasury bond, there are more and more troops in the area from Changsha to fat, and everyone can see that the possibility of Annan becoming a cochin this time is not ten percent but nine percent!" ”

"Master, the family sent a letter, and the uncle invested all the 50,000 silver dollars in the house, saying that he would wait for you to recover Jiaozhi for the imperial court, let him earn more than 100,000 yuan, and compete to win the latest batch of two-rise steam mining engines produced by the Royal Industrial Company!"

Even Mao Bowen, the commander of the Northern Army of the Guards who was in charge of Wuzhou at this time, also received a letter from his family, and for a while, it also increased his pressure a lot, knowing that he could not take it lightly by leading his troops to attack Jiaozhi this time, otherwise he would not only lose the money and food of the imperial court, but also his own money.

Because of this, Mao Bowen had to put down his body and instructed his lieutenant: "Go and call the apricot surnamed Yu!" ”

Seeing this, Mao Bowen's lieutenant couldn't help but wonder: "Master, Yu Dayou's apricot has always had a bad temper, and anyone dares to contradict him, don't you hate him very much, and even transferred him out of the Chinese army, why do you want to see him again today." ”

"Then what's the way, those officials in the imperial court really deserve to be old foxes, the idea is really vicious, now this battle must be won, not only must it be won but also must be fought well, otherwise, it is not only the imperial court that will lose, but also himself, Na Xing, surnamed Yu, although his temper is stinky, but his analysis of the battle situation is stronger than that of the staff of the military department, what this apricot said the day before yesterday is no different from the Jun decree issued by the General Staff of the Guards now!"

Mao Bowen threw the paperwork in his hand on the case as he spoke: "This Yu Dayou, who is young and far away in Wuzhou, but has the same idea as His Majesty and the elders of the Wang Pavilion above, you say that he is amazing!" Next, how to fight, first ask him is naturally good! ”

Mao Bowen said and couldn't help waving his hand: "Forget it, this guy has a stubborn temper, the old man ignored the military law and forcibly beat him with a military stick, he probably still hates me as the boss now, this official will go to see him in person, and bring the good wine sent by Qin Jin, the governor of Huguang a while ago!" ”

Mao Bowen's lieutenant was very surprised, thinking that when the coach's temper was so good, and he could still tolerate Yu Dayou.

Yu Dayou still used the telescope used by the marching army to observe the terrain in Wuzhou, and confirmed the accuracy of the military map surveyed and mapped by the Yiwei guards in Jiaozhi through the actual terrain of Wuzhou and the military map chips published by the Ministry of War.

"Zhifu, you let the brokerage in the army help act as an agent for the bond investment business) to help buy coupons, this battle has not yet started, the price of the war coupons outside has increased several times, even if the court does not visit, the brothers are afraid that they will fight monkeys without their lives, you tell me when this battle will start, I really want to wait for this battle to end as soon as possible, so that I can exchange it for real silver dollars as soon as possible, and marry your sister-in-law home!"

Yu Dayou's former classmate, and now Lu Bo, a classmate who has graduated from the Fox Land War Department, participated in the war to recover Jiaozhi this time, and first experienced land warfare jungle warfare, but because of this, he was also able to fight side by side with Yu Dayou.

Yu Dayou was not angry because Lu Bo was younger than himself but deliberately pretended to be his eldest brother, he just stood up, patted the grass clippings on his body, and stomped his thick-soled military mountain leather boots on the ground, and began to untie his trouser belt, and said while shouting:

"What are you buying coupons for, I, Yu Dayou, joined the army not to make money, but this battle can't be fought in the north for a while, I estimate that our army will have to stay in Guangxi for a while, but you will be transferred away, according to Yu's opinion, it is just right for the imperial court to fight this fox land war section from the south this time."

"Then why did the imperial court send hundreds of thousands of troops to gather in the southwest, looking for the ancestors of the Zhuang nationality who were called Li Ren in the Ming Dynasty, and they were more famous for the same wolf and wolf soldiers) to sing mountain songs?"

Lu Bo said a word and pointed to a maid in the rice field in front of him who was looking this way: "Look, that maid is very smart, just right for me to be my brother and sister!" ”

Yu Dayou lifted his pants and kicked Lu Bo on the ground that he was watered by himself: "The dog can't spit out ivory from his mouth, who is the younger brother and who is the younger brother, can't you tell the difference!" ”

"Don't think that you are invincible all over the Shaolin Temple, Lao Tzu is afraid of you, look at the legs!"

Lu Boring shook his kick as he spoke, and his iron fist rushed straight to Yu Dayou's temple, Yu Dayou dodged sideways, and was about to elbow Lu Boring in the chest, when he heard a mountain song sound, Yu Dayou couldn't help but retract it, and Lu Boring, who was empty, looked at a maid who was walking towards him.

The maid pointed at Yu Dayou and said to an old servant: "Father, I want him!" ”

"A Han soldier, what's good, some of our wolf soldiers are Kuang," the old man said.

The maid of the long water spirit said coquettishly: "I want him", and then blushed: "Because he is big there!" ”

Lu Bo laughed out loud at this time.

Yu Dayou didn't know what to do, thinking that these wolf soldiers were transferred by order, so he only arched his hand and said: "Yu Dayou has seen two of them in the Fourth Infantry Division of the Third Army of the Guards, but I don't know who the two are?" ”

As soon as Yu Dayou finished speaking, a herald came on horseback: "Lu Bo, the general has an order, and you immediately lead your headquarters to Qinzhou to board a ship to Xiangshan!" ”

Lu Bo couldn't help but be shocked, thinking that Yu Dayou's words had actually come true.

And at this time, there was another sound of "the handsome man has arrived", Yu Dayou couldn't help frowning, thinking: "This guy must have bought war tickets too!" ”

After Yu Dayou came to Mao Bowen, he found that Mao Bowen really wanted to analyze the war situation by himself, and he also saw that Mao Bowen wanted to fight the war beautifully and make more money.

Yu Dayou told Mao Bowen his analysis of the battle situation, knowing that the imperial court would land in Qinghua in the south at present.

Of course.

Yu Dayou's analysis undoubtedly coincides with the decisions of Zhu Houzhao and Wang Shouren of the imperial court.

No matter in any era, a nation has outstanding talents in a certain aspect, and governing the world will naturally make the capable ministers and good generals useful, and the troubled times will often make the capable and good generals unjustly die or sink into the sand.

Yu Dayou is undoubtedly the star of the Ming Dynasty, which has been proven by history.

But.

Now, except for Zhu Houzhao and Mao Bowen, no one knows that Yu Dayou will become a general.

Even Yu Dayou himself would not know that he would become a general star in the future, and he didn't even know that His Majesty the Emperor had begun to pay attention to him.

Zhu Houzhao did set up an archive, although he did not tell others directly, but he did secretly observe these talents who had performed outstanding in the original history.

Zhu Houzhao believes that even if he, a traverser, can change history and change this society, it can't hide that these heroes can play their value in today's Ming Dynasty.

It may be that there will be no more rebellion in the Ming Dynasty in this era, but this does not mean that Yu Dayou will not become a famous general.

"After landing in the south, there will be more land field forces that need to be invested, and we can't just rely on the Fox Marines, and I'm thinking about whether we can transfer troops such as the First Division of the Third Army of the Guards Army on the northern front to the south through the Fox Transport Ships!"

Zhu Houzhao knew that Yu Dayou was in the First Division of the Guards Army, so he naturally wanted to see Yu Dayou's performance on the battlefield in advance, so he thought about increasing the army strength of the Southern Front and transferred Yu Dayou over first.

Emperor Zhu Houzhao spoke, and the Privy Council did not dare to disobey.

However, Yu Dayou did not get happy after receiving this order, and said with a bitter face: "What should I do, I'm seasick!" ”

But in any case, even Mao Bowen can't say anything about the orders of the central government, let alone Yu Dayou, who can only obey military orders.

In any case, the Southern Front Corps of the Ming Dynasty had begun to gradually assemble towards Yazhou, and regardless of whether the Jiaozhi Nguyen clan agreed to let the Ming Dynasty land in Thanh Hoa and take advantage of the mode of conquest, the Southern Front Corps would march from Yazhou to Thanh Hoa.

War is not a fight, just do it, even if the accidental war conflict wants to cause a big war, there will be a gradual change process ranging from several months to several years, and now the Ming Central Committee has proposed to recover Jiaozhi to the current formal deployment of troops to establish the strategy, and it has been almost more than ten years, even if it is now necessary to establish the strategy and transfer the troops to officially fire the first shot, after all, the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and the logistics and the tactical command of the front commander will take time.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao also did one thing, that is, the decision of the commander of the southern front corps, the northern front was the veteran Mao Bowen who was experienced in fighting in the southern mountains, and the southern line corps was good at aviation and combat, Zhu Houzhao still let Wang Hong be the commander.

After all, Wang Hong is a famous general in naval warfare who has thwarted the invasion of Western colonists several times, although it is a civilian system, but it can naturally be safer to use Wang Hong, after all, the Nanyang area is the most familiar with Wang Hong, who has been in Liangguang from the deputy envoy to the governor.

After Zhu Houzhao established himself as the commander of the corps on the southern front, and considering the issue of unification and coordination between the north and the south, he asked Wang Shouren to take up the post of privy deputy envoy to supervise Nanyang and coordinate and command the corps of the north and south to regain Jiaozhi.

This is also something that cannot be helped, because although the Ming Dynasty has made great strides into the steam age, it has not yet entered the information age, and it is not even radio waves, due to geographical isolation, it is difficult for Zhu Houzhao, the emperor, to remotely control and coordinate the north and south lines at a distance of more than 5,000 kilometers.

Under these circumstances, in order to improve the efficiency of war command, Zhu Houzhao could only delegate power.

Moreover, when Wang Shouren went to the south, he must also fully trust Wang Shouren, neither can he change commanders at will, nor can he skip the command, history proves that even if he is the god of the army, it is easy to have problems if he skips the command, and he can't learn from Chang Kaishen.

Therefore, the current Zhu Houzhao simply relaxed, didn't worry about anything, and just waited for the results of the war with peace of mind.

The so-called stealing half a day of leisure, Zhu Houzhao is in such a state now, he decided to do something he wanted to do in his heart, this era for him, the most regrettable thing is that there is no network, no movies and television, and other videos, and there are no various electrical and intelligent equipment that can make people comfortable.

Although he lived in the 21st century in his previous life, because he was poor, he did not really have the time to enjoy many so-called things, or the ability to enjoy them.

And now, he is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he is fully capable and qualified to have the best in the world, including women, but there are some things in later generations, which he can't have, which has to be a pity for Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao started from his own heart, and now he really wants to let new things appear.

Therefore, he asked the Academy of Sciences to speed up the research and application of electricity, of course, the study of electricity is not to meet Zhu Houzhao's inner appeal, Zhu Houzhao himself also knows that if electricity appears, it can undoubtedly bring more earth-shaking changes to the world.

Daming is now actually able to manufacture voltaic batteries, after all, this is simple, it is nothing more than a copper-zinc battery, as a power provider.

But in terms of electricity, the current Daming can only make electric light bulbs, and light up the light bulbs through large voltaic batteries.

In terms of light bulbs, Daming now only has arc lamps and tungsten lamps.

Because the arc lamp is the use of electric tiger light, it needs metal electrodes, and the energy consumption is high and the temperature is high, it is not suitable for household use, and it is of little significance except for the military, so Daming is now focusing on how to install the tungsten lamp into the home, and it can be energized at any time to make the tungsten lamp shine.

Because Zhu Houzhao knew that the best filament material for the electric bulb invented by Edison was a tungsten lamp, Daming now took many detours when making electric bulbs, and did not use various fiber materials to do filament experiments first.

If Daming wants to make progress in electricity now, or even at least realize the problem of lighting through electricity, what is lacking is not qualified light bulbs, but sufficient power supply.

Electricity can be used by human beings in history, because Faraday discovered electromagnetic induction, the use of magnetic induction to produce electric induction, and then produce electric current, now, the Daming Academy of Sciences has begun to re-experiment through the theory proposed by Zhu Houzhao and has been proven, so that many people believe that electricity can indeed be generated through electromagnetic induction, but it will take time to use it directly.

But Zhu Houzhao hopes that this time is best not to take too long, after all, he really hopes that the electric age can come as soon as possible, and at least enter the radio age in the end, so that the Ming Dynasty will be more convenient in communication, after all, in the future, the territory of the Ming Dynasty will be more vast, and the difficulty of ruling will be greater.

But in any case, Zhu Houzhao can now use the electric light for a short time, and sometimes even the faint light between the beds is more interesting than the blind touch of the black light.

But for Zhu Houzhao's concubines, His Majesty will not only play with the night light in the bed tent at night, but also let them wear some strange clothes, which is also called uniform temptation.

Zhu Houzhao admits that he sometimes has a bit of fun, but life is to have fun, as long as it doesn't affect others.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty could now let his young concubines dress up in nurse clothes or white-collar costumes to play various games in their spare time, but at this time, the South China Sea was baking, and the imperial fleet was gradually approaching the country of Jiaozhi.

Jiaozhi Ruan was not stupid, and he also guessed the purpose of the Ming Dynasty, and rejected the Ming Dynasty's request to land in Thanh Hoa, which was destined to make the Ming have to rely on force to take Thanh Hoa first.

At this time, Yu Dayou and his officers and soldiers had already transported the Gatling machine gun, and quietly relied on the assault boat to go ashore at night, ready to give the monkeys of the Cochin Kingdom a baptism of new firearms in the Chen era.
