Chapter 316: The Ruler of the World (Page 1/1)

"At the beginning, our army used superior forces to suppress the enemy, and often used the terrain to affect the mobility of the cavalry, so the battle went smoothly. This was a good thing, but it formed a wrong perception among the officers and soldiers that the fire gun was also easy to deal with cavalry. If Sun Fumin had set up the artillery first and attacked the first wave of Cossacks with artillery, he would not have suffered so much damage, all because he was too complacent. This is not only the case for officers and soldiers, but also for the General Staff, and there are also many staff officers who believe that as long as our guns are there, no one will be able to defeat our Ming army. Sun Fumin's defeat this time came just right, and it can become the negative example that His Majesty said, so that the whole army can wake up. ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "This is the purpose of my coming here. To carry out a major rectification of military regions throughout the country, Sun Fumin's defeat must be known to the whole army, otherwise it will not work. Sun Fumin hoped that I could belittle him as much as possible, so I was ready to listen to him once, demote him to a staff officer in the name of his own request, and temporarily follow the division headquarters. ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "There is a problem with being demoted to a staff officer, that is, it is not easy to make meritorious contributions, how can he be promoted when the time comes?" Sun Fumin can be regarded as a tiger general, and his strategy is also outstanding. ”

Zhu Youxiao muttered: "Then let's be demoted to battalion commander, it should be easy to rise up two levels in this way, and the most important thing is to alert the whole army and prepare for future battles." ”

Xiong Tingbi saw that the emperor was not in a good mood, so he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there is good news from Cao Bianjiao, the capital of the Kazakh Khanate has been besieged, and it will be captured soon." ”

Zhu Youxiao's face was really happy when he heard this, and he smiled: "This nephew of Wen Zhao is not bad, but the combat effectiveness of the Dzungar people is also very good, and Cao Bianjiao's division alone can't beat Almaty." ”

Lu Xiangsheng also smiled: "The Kazakh Khanate has a close relationship with the Rakshasas, so they have artillery and muskets, although they are a little behind ours, but they are always better than the bows and spears of the Dzungars. Now that Cao Bianjiao has joined forces with the Dzungar Ministry, he has just made up for the shortcomings of the Dzungar people, and of course he will be invincible. ”

Zhu Youxiao thought deeply when he heard this, and Lu Xiangsheng continued: "Cao Wenzhao put forward an idea, which was first proposed by Xue Boling. They thought that if we could subdue the Cossacks, then we, in cooperation with the Cossacks, would be able to call ourselves no opponents. ”

Zhu Youxiao felt that an idea had slipped through his mind, and he only knew that it was a brilliant idea, but he couldn't grasp it, so he patted his head in frustration.

Lu Xiangsheng continued: "The minister has an idea because of this, why don't we integrate the Watts or Mongols into the army and form a wing of cavalry and firecrackers, isn't this the same? ”

Only then did Zhu Youxiao understand that this was the idea he was thinking, and when he saw Lu Xiangsheng's calm appearance, a large group of alpacas suddenly ran over in his heart. Although he has insight beyond this era, he is afraid that it may not be smart when it comes to being smart, at least Lu Xiangsheng's keen insight is what he does not have.

He nodded and said, "Didn't all the Mongolian tribes send troops to join the Western Expedition and the Northern Expedition?" I think the generals of the Guards are only afraid to look down on them, and they are not willing to use them at all. Sun Fumin did not have the Mongolian army with him at that time, and now he is afraid and does not pay attention to it, this matter must be fundamentally changed, and the formation of the Han-Mongolian coalition army, although the small structure does not need to be changed, but the large structure must be changed. ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "The minister has already formulated a plan and discussed it with the Xiong Division, and each Guards Division must add two Mongolian cavalry battalions. This will play a tremendous role in strengthening our army's means of attack and enhancing our army's combat effectiveness. ”

Zhu Youxiao naturally understood that the biggest shortcoming of the Ming army was that it was not strong in maneuverability, and it was not effective in pursuing after defeating the enemy, which was not conducive to expanding the results of the battle. And if the Mongol cavalry was added to the Guards, this disadvantage no longer existed. And even better, this is extremely important for the hearts of the Mongolian tribes and the real integration of the Mongols into the Ming Dynasty.

He said: "Then Xiaotian thinks that he should directly integrate the forces of the current Mongolian tribes, or recruit troops from among the Mongols again?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng replied: "If the existing Mongol troops are integrated, the advantage is convenience, there is no need to make a big move, and the Mongols will be more satisfied, but this will make the Mongol ministries have a certain degree of control over the Mongol soldiers." If we re-recruit troops, it will be more troublesome, and some Mongols will have to go back, which will cause dissatisfaction among the Mongols, but the advantage is that we have absolute control over these Mongol soldiers. There are pros and cons to both methods, and it depends on how His Majesty weighs them. ”

Zhu Youxiao groaned: "Convene a court meeting, let's discuss it." One person counts the short, the other counts the long, so many smart people can always take into account all aspects of the problem. ”

At the next day's small court meeting, Zhu Youxiao raised this issue. Sun Chengzong said: "The minister thought that he should re-recruit troops. If it is not my race, its heart will be different, and it will not suffer a loss in any case for the defense of foreign races, and it is an intolerable thing for the leader of Mongolia to have influence on the top of the coalition army. ”

Sun Chuanting nodded again and again, what he wanted to say let Sun Chengzong say, he had no other way but to nod.

Xu Guangqi said: "Re-recruiting troops can effectively divide the Mongols, and the Mongols who participate in the coalition can give them some treatment similar to that of the Han people, so that they are no longer dependent on their tribal leaders, similar to the previous Duoyan Sanwei, so that it is a good way for us to control the Mongols and prevent them from causing trouble to the Ming Dynasty." ”

Yang Lian said: "The Mongols are no better than Jiannu, and Jiannu is just a disaster, and the Mongols have been making my border unstable for hundreds of years." It would be a great thing if we could divide them and make some of them turn their hearts towards the Great Ming. ”

Sun Chuanting said: "In fact, to make the Mongols or other foreign races turn their hearts to the Ming Dynasty, the most important point lies in ourselves, as long as our Ming is strong, then they have to turn their hearts to the Ming Dynasty." Your Majesty's majestic talent and strategy, the Ming national strength in more than ten years greatly enhanced, from the south to the north, my Ming territory has more than doubled, as long as this situation is maintained, why fear foreign races? ”

Bi Ziyan nodded and said: "More than twenty years ago, the three major expeditions exhausted all the treasury, and by the time of the Ming-Burma War and the Battle of Salhu, they couldn't even get the soldiers' money. And now that my Ming Dynasty is at war on all sides, the treasury is still full, and this is all the work of Your Majesty. ”

This head opened well, and the ministers began to praise His Majesty the Emperor for his wisdom, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "If there is no assistance from all the ministers, how can I let the Ming Dynasty rise?" All the kings have merit, and together we will make the Ming Dynasty more brilliant and let the Han people become the masters of the world. ”

The ministers said together: "Let the Han people become the masters of this world." ”
