readx; "Sir, please sit down, this is not the Qianqing Palace, you can feel free. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Zhu Youzhen gave Yang Sichang a seat in the main hall of the Yangxin Palace, and asked Lan Jian to serve hot tea, and then said with a little emotion, "I sometimes really miss the days in Qinwangzhuang, although there is only a square inch of land, but everyone can work together to achieve many things." Now that I am the Son of Heaven, many times I have to compromise and retreat, alas..."

Yang Sichang hurriedly said earnestly: "Your Majesty doesn't need to be discouraged, the minister's night visit is precisely for this. The first rebellion Zhu Yousong escaped, and Nanyang and other places fell, although the counterinsurgency suffered a temporary setback. But the ministers couldn't see Mount Tai, whether it was a thief or a rebel, their momentum had been seriously setback. Especially the thieves, who used to be known as the 'Thirteen Families', are now dead and surrendered, and the only ones who really threaten the imperial court are Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. As long as the imperial court continues to adhere to the policy of four positive and six corners..."

As soon as he said this, Zhu Youzhen shook his head and interrupted: "Mr.'s strategy of 'four positive and six corners, ten sides of the net', I have always been very respectful, and I generally do the same. This strategy has indeed achieved very good results, as evidenced by Gao Yingxiang's award, and Ma Shouying's death. But now I and Mr. I are wrong! It's not that Mr.'s strategy is bad, it's that the thieves are stubborn, and the court can't catch it! ”

Yang Sichang was taken aback, and at the same time, he was naturally not convinced, and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, not to mention that the official army has not really failed, and the places captured by the thieves are all weak in defense of the official army, and there is even no place for the official army at all..."

"That's the crux of the matter." Zhu Youzhen said sadly, "Four of the four corners are the north and south of the Huguang River in Shaanxi, which is the area with the most frequent activities of thieves, and it is also the place where I am the heart of the Ming Dynasty. This place is no less than 2,000 miles in circumference, with mountains and mountains, and there is plenty of room for thieves to move. Mr. said that the governor of the Four Righteous Divisions was divided and defended, but the actual situation is that you are also, the Nanjing Guard Army is not less than 100,000, but Wang Zaijin can only keep Nanjing, if it is not for Lu Xiangsheng's whole army to help, I am afraid that even Chuzhou and Yangzhou will not be able to keep it. In Henan, the Weisuo army has been lost, Zuo Liangyu is useless, and the Ming army has just been formed, and it can only keep Luoyang Kaifeng.

"Shaanxi is similar, the thieves will never dare to attack Xi'an Tongguan, but in other places, especially in southern Shaanxi, the official army is powerless to defend unless Sun Chuanting is stationed there. Huguang is even worse. The governors of the four places are still too busy to take care of themselves, how can they have the ability to divide and suppress? ”

Yang Sichang knew that what Zhu Youzhen said was the truth, but he still retorted: "But there are still six corners." ”

"The six corners are divided into defenses and assisted, and the idea is good." Zhu Youzhen continued, "But Yansui and Shanxi in the six corners are also among the nine sides, and the burden of defending against foreign enemies is heavier, so there is no way to divide troops. Sichuan is a place of deep concern, and once the thieves enter Sichuan, it will be even more uncontrollable. As for Shandong, Jiangnan, Jiangxi, count on the guards there, sir, do you dare? Even if troops can be transferred from these provinces, the situation will be even worse if the thieves sneak into the province. ”

"But the saint, isn't there still Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, the main forces of the official army, who follow the thief's direction?" Yang Sichang was already sweating on his forehead, but he still argued, "This second-way official army is far superior to the thieves, and they have won successive battles, as long as they persevere, they will definitely be able to completely extinguish the thieves!" ”

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What Mr. said is right, Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting are indeed the most elite people in my Ming official army, and it is not an exaggeration to treat thieves with one enemy and one hundred." But this is conditional!

"First of all, the real source of the combat effectiveness of these two officers and armies lies in firearms. However, firearms depend on logistics and transportation, and now that the supply of crossbows is at its end, the thieves are still mostly active in the plains. Once the thieves move into the mountains, the baggage transportation is inconvenient, and they can't catch up with others, how can the battle be fought?

"Moreover, of course, the official army also has cavalry, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry of the Tianxiong Army in Beijing is very strong in combat. But sir, how many battles have these cavalry units fought since I ascended the throne? Especially Li Dingguo, the second general Li Laiheng, has been fighting in the north and south for a year, non-stop, the troops have not been replenished, and Li Dingguo is still seriously ill, I am worried when I think about it! The other ministries are no better. These cavalry troops are not many, but they are the capital of the Ming Dynasty against the Tartars, and they must not be lost!

"What's more, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other thieves are cunning with soldiers, even if Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting lead the main force to chase hard, the thieves can drill into the mountains and mountains and play a game of cat and mouse with the official army, at that time the official cavalry did not have much advantage, but the consumption was increasing. I can't catch up with Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng here, and a horse Xianzhong Niu Zicheng has popped up elsewhere, what should I do? Alas! I was wrong, I thought of the thief too simply! ...”

"This..."

This time Yang Sichang was finally speechless, and he only realized now that the strategy of "four positive and six corners, ten sides of the net" that he was proud of was not much better than talking on paper!

After being silent for a long time, Yang Sichang still couldn't help but say: "The saint's responsibility is that the minister is stupid!" But now the thieves are attacking the city, Sichuan and Shaanxi are shaking, and the imperial court has to try to suppress it. The strategy of four positive and six corners is not feasible, but there are other strategies? ”

Yang Sichang thought that since the emperor denied his strategy, he must have a better strategy, so he asked. Unexpectedly, Zhu Youzhen fell into a long silence, and stopped talking several times, his face became pale, which showed that his heart was in extreme torment. Yang Sichang didn't dare to ask for some reason.

The enemy does not learn from the lonely master

After a long time, Zhu Youzhen said gloomily: "I have no strategy. It's late at night, and the gentleman will retreat, and Rong Zhen and the courtiers will discuss a foolproof plan again..."

Yang Sichang's heart was tingling, and he secretly thought that the emperor had been hit too deeply, where was this still the King of Qin who was familiar to him! Just as he was about to give him a hard advice, Zhu Youzhen got up and said, "I'm tired, Lan Jian, send Mr." ”

Looking at the unwilling Yang Sichang gradually moving away, Prosecutor Zhu You let out a long sigh. He didn't tell the truth just now, in fact, he had been thinking hard for the past few days, and he already had a new strategy to deal with the thieves. But this strategy is too deviant and too "vicious" for him to speak! I almost couldn't hold back and said it to Yang Sichang just now, but thinking of the overwhelming saliva in the court, Zhu Youzhen still forcibly suppressed these words in his heart. It can't be said that even Yang Sichang, who is deeply trusted by him, can't!

At this time, Zhu Youzhen finally deeply realized how lonely the king was.
