Chapter 260: Polemic Korean Strategy
Everyone was surprised by the emperor's ambition, and he actually wanted to aid the dynasty for the second time, Liu Yanyuan even spoke out to stop it, Yang Reform made him a little patient, and let Sun Chengzong finish speaking, it is not too late to oppose it.
"Master Sun, you can explain it in detail for your family, and if you have any questions, you can also ask Master Sun directly." Yang Gai said to Sun Chengzong.
"Your Ministers obey." Sun Chengzong agreed.
Sun Chengzong also picked up a stick, pointed to the Korean Peninsula and said: "Everyone, this is North Korea, this is Seoul, now, North Korea was forced to surrender by the Eastern Captives, it is said that this Seoul, only a few hundred soldiers are stationed there, so Sun thought that he could send thousands of elites to take sea ships across the sea to Seoul, North Korea, and directly attack the Donglu entrenched in Seoul...... Speaking of which, Sun Chengzong's stick went all the way east from the Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty, crossed the sea from Tianjin Wei, and arrived at Dongjiang Town, and drew a few circles on the top of Dongjiang Town, Then the stick head went along the coast of Korea to Seoul, which can be described as a genius idea, a cross-sea attack in the seventeenth century...... A few people on the side were stunned, this kind of thought, such a long distance, was really unexpected to them, walking over on land, afraid of it for several months, they also thought that the emperor was going to open up the land passage between Jinning and North Korea, where they knew, the emperor directly used the boat! In this way, it is indeed interesting to aid North Korea.
“…… Cross-sea attack, about five or six thousand people, first use a boat to transport people from Tianjin Wei to Phi Island, rest on Phi Island for a few days, and then concentrate the ship, transport people to Seoul at a time, thousands of elites, carry artillery, besiege the city on all sides, hundreds of soldiers from the east, how to defend? Therefore, North Korea will definitely be able to go down in one go......" Sun Chengzong explained his strategy with a smile.
Everyone looked at Sun Chengzong in surprise, and their eyes kept following Sun Chengzong's stick head, what a genius idea! Why did I never think that the sea could go straight to Seoul, North Korea? Looking at Sun Chengzong's time, in less than a month, he went from the capital of the Ming Dynasty to the capital of North Korea, and rested on Phi Island for a few days in the middle.
Liu Yanyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, has done a lot of homework recently, and he has a little impression of North Korea, although Sun Chengzong said it very wonderfully, but he still has a problem with the matter of aiding North Korea, mainly because of the last aid to Korea, the loss of the Ming Dynasty is too great, so he is ready to fight with Sun Chengzong. He asked: "Lord Sun, I want to ask, it is no problem for a few thousand people to fight a few hundred people, but if the Dongyu gets the news and sends tens of thousands of people back to attack Korea, won't these thousands of people be sent to death?" Liu Yanyuan was puzzled. After listening to Liu Yanyuan's words, everyone also felt that it was a problem, there was really no suspense about thousands of elite people fighting hundreds of people, but as soon as this Dongyu came to his senses, he sent troops to attack North Korea, isn't it in vain?
“…… Hehe, Lord Liu, this matter is also simple, this attack, Sun planned to set off in early October, stay in Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town for a few days, and then suddenly attack Seoul, North Korea in early November, how to prevent this Dongyu? At this time, it has reached the cold winter wax moon, and the road between North Korea and Dongyu has long been blocked by heavy snow, if it is done well, by next year, Donglu knows that he doesn't know the news, and even if he knows the news, he can't rush to North Korea immediately......" Sun Chengzong still said with a smile.
A few people on the side changed their puzzled expressions just now to their admiration for Sun Chengzong.
Liu Yanyuan didn't expect Sun Chengzong to use the bad weather in winter to block the Dongyu, if so, then it was really possible, but, after thinking about it, he said: "Lord Sun, even if you can capture Korea, but in the second year, won't the Dongyu come back?" Thousands of people, still dangerous! If you don't come, you will come, and if you come, it must be tens of thousands! How can a few thousand people fend off? Isn't it a sheep in the mouth of a tiger? Sacrifice me for thousands of elites in vain? "Liu Yanyuan is ready to fight with Sun Chengzong, in his impression, fighting in North Korea is burning money! However, where is the money in the imperial court now? Even if you have money, you might as well go to disaster relief.
After listening to Liu Yanyuan's words, everyone felt that Liu Yanyuan was right, even if he didn't come this year, it didn't mean that he wouldn't come next year, this news would always leak, and when the time came, it would be tens of thousands. looked at Sun Chengzong suspiciously, to see how he explained.
“…… Lord Liu, if the Dongyu want to come to the DPRK, it will be better, if they come to the DPRK, that is to say, the Dongyu want to go west, it is basically impossible, this is exactly the goal of our DPRK, to drag the Dongyu in Korea, hehe...... As for those thousands of people, the Dongyu is coming, if the situation is great, they can be loaded away in a boat immediately, so why be afraid of the Dongyu? There is no boat in the east, can the horse still be able to get into the water? Sun Chengzong has long been confident about this plan, and now, no matter what others say, they can refute the other party to the point that they have nothing to say.
"Lord Sun, in this way, won't this North Korea fall into the hands of the East again? Haven't I been busy in vain? What's more, if the East captives re-enter North Korea, won't the DPRK be poisoned by the East captives again? Devastation? Liu Yanyuan had doubts again.
Everyone also thinks that Liu Yanyuan is asking on their behalf, and this North Korea is not going to be beaten down again, isn't it a blind toss? The admiration for Sun Chengzong just now turned into doubts again.
"Hehe, Lord Liu, don't you think this is a good way to hold off Dongyu? Next year, Dongyu will send troops to North Korea, and other places will definitely not have the energy to send troops, isn't this exactly what our DPRK wants? By the end of next year, if there are few people stationed in Korea, our DPRK can learn from it for the first time and attack Seoul across the sea again, and in the third year, won't the Dongyu send troops to Korea again? This simple battle can make Dongyu want to stop, and he can only run back and forth, exhausted...... As for the issue of the DPRK being poisoned, our DPRK did not do it on purpose, and how many people did our DPRK die for the sake of the DPRK? Whether the DPRK suffers or is destroyed, anyway, it is better than the disaster of our DPRK. "Sun Chengzong has changed now, it is different from before, before, there would never be this kind of thought, it may be influenced by Yang reform, and I also feel that the battlefield is in Korea, and it is better for North Korea to suffer than to suffer from his own family, as soon as he passes the border wall, it is Gyeonggi, the emperor is here, and the impact of letting Dongyu enter the customs is really bad.
In this regard, Liu Yanyuan has nothing to say, this Dongyu has entered the customs, and he, the secretary of the military department, will never be pleased, and it is still good to step down, so he can only be speechless.
After listening to Sun Chengzong's explanation, everyone looked like this, this Sun Chengzong is really a veteran! Doing things is beautiful. He was full of admiration for Sun Chengzong.
Liu Yanyuan still didn't give up, thought about it, and said: "Lord Sun, Liu thinks that there is a loophole in the strategy of using North Korea to drag the Dongyu. I think that if no one stops the Eastern Captives, wouldn't it be easy for the Eastern Captives to go down to Seoul again? In this way, it may be that he will enter the court in February and go back in May, so he still has the ability to go west! According to Liu, if we want to drag the Donglu in Korea, our DPRK will inevitably fight directly with the Dongyu, and if we directly engage the Dongyu, the loss will definitely be not small! ”
Liu Yanyuan's words made some sense, and everyone stood on Liu Yanyuan's side to see what Sun Chengzong said.
“…… Lord Liu is also reasonable, Sun Mou means that we try not to directly participate in the war, but we sell grenades to North Korea, and by the way, help the North Koreans train how to use grenades to resist the East Captives, so that North Korea can use the advantages of the city wall to continuously consume the East Captives with grenades, Sun thinks that it may not be realistic for the North Koreans to fight the East Captives in the field, but the people who stand on the city wall, rely on the city wall, throw grenades down, kill and injure the East Captives, this point, even women and children, can still do it, Lord Liu, I don't know what you think about this? Sun Chengzong continued to talk about his strategy.
“…… This ......, this, it really seems to be okay...... "Liu Yanyuan, as the secretary of the Ministry of War, still knows grenades, and has also seen how grenades fight, and when he thinks of the bloody scene, he thinks of the scene of pigs and lamb legs flying around, and his heart is sick.
"In this case, if there are 30,000 Dongyu who invaded Korea, to the maximum, ten grenades to eliminate one Dongyu, it is only 300,000 grenades can wipe out the Dongyu who invaded Korea, where can I find this kind of cheap thing? What do you think? Sun Chengzong looked at the few people present with a smile.
It was the first time that a few people knew that the account could be calculated like this. Hearing that Sun Chengzong was going to use grenades to consume Dongyu, and that he was using ten grenades to eliminate a soldier, everyone was stupid! I was even more surprised than I had just heard that the Emperor was going to reopen the Korean battlefield! This Sun Chengzong is really not ordinary! The old boss is amazing! ruthless, they all cast admiring glances at Sun Chengzong.
Liu Yanyuan's whole person is a little stupid now, it turns out that Sun Chengzong is fighting this idea, this idea is more damaging than his idea of exchanging food for human heads! You also kill a person with ten grenades, what does it look like when ten grenades fly down, you think I haven't seen it! Liu Yanyuan remembered the scene at that time again, and he was about to vomit again.
"Your Majesty, I think that this strategy is very good, to say that the combat effectiveness of the Koreans and the Dongyu is indeed not on the same level, even if it is the elite of our dynasty, it is only a draw with the Dongyu, but to say that standing on the head of the city and throwing a grenade down, this is really a woman and children, and it can kill the elite of the Dongyu without effort, so that North Korea wants to defend against the Dongyu, it is really much simpler! If Dongju goes to Korea again, to attack Seoul, then each city will be gradually taken down, when Donglu arrives in Seoul, I am afraid that the casualties have been heavy, the wall of Seoul is much taller than the general city, and the use of grenades in Seoul to further consume Donglu, I am afraid of this Dongyu, and I am eager to capture Seoul, it is impossible! If the casualties are too heavy, Dongyu himself will have to retreat! Yuan Chonghuan was also surprised by Sun Chengzong's idea, admired Sun Chengzong's mind, and applauded this strategy, this strategy is really wonderful, he said that he was in Liaodong in the future, and he was also ready to use grenades to help defend the city, so he was very concerned about this use of grenades to defend, and was ready to find a time to ask the emperor for grenades in the future.
This time, everyone is on Sun Chengzong's side, if this plan really wants to be done according to Sun Chengzong's words, sell grenades to North Korea, and then teach the North Koreans to use them, Dong Yu wants to capture North Korea cheaply, I'm afraid it's really not that easy! This Dongyu lost a lot in Korea, and the Ming Dynasty didn't have time to laugh.
Liu Yanyuan is ready to pick some thorns, he is not unconvinced Sun Chengzong, no matter what, Sun Chengzong's idea is really good, it gives people a refreshing feeling, Liu Yanyuan feels that since he is already this thorny person, then pick a little more thorns.
"Liu thought that Lord Sun may have overestimated the resistance of the Koreans, once the Dongyu was blown up by the grenade and became angry and ashamed, and threatened to slaughter the city, he was afraid that the Koreans would not last long, and they would surrender one after another, and, I heard, the walls of North Korea are quite short, and Seoul is slightly taller, and some of the walls can even be climbed with bare hands." Liu Yanyuan picked another thorn.
Everyone felt that Liu Yanyuan was reasonable, according to many veterans of the Korean battlefield, the North Koreans were indeed soft bones, and the city wall really couldn't be compared with the Ming Dynasty, and they all set their eyes on Sun Chengzong.
Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said: "This matter, Sun Mou also thought about it, Sun Mou thought that this Dongyu from the nest to North Korea, this road is far away, you can send troops to disturb the grain road along the way, you can also send elite to attack the back road of the Dongyu, I have a sea ship in the DPRK, you can log in anywhere along the coast of Korea, the Dongyu attack Seoul south, along the way, will definitely send troops to protect the retreat, protect the grain route, so, the elite of our dynasty, can take advantage of the time when the Dongyu go south, constantly disturb the back road of the Dongyu, the grain road, if the Dongyu send a small unit to rescue, it can be eaten, If the Donglu sends a large number of men and horses to rescue, we will retreat, we have the advantage of sea ships, and can retreat to the sea at any time, the Dongyu has no ship, so they can only stare dryly, if they dare to get close to the coast, the ships and artillery will bombard the ......, and when the Dongyu leaves, I will go ashore again, continue to disturb his back road, and the grain road will ......" Sun Chengzong told about his guerrilla warfare.
Everyone was really stunned this time! The dignified emperor Sun Chengzong also used this kind of indiscriminate means, is this still Sun Chengzong?
Liu Yanyuan was speechless, this Sun Chengzong also learned to play tricks, thought about it, and said with an angry smile: "Hehe, Master Sun, as an emperor, how can you learn this kind of scoundrel tactics?" This kind of tactic seems to be commonly used by Mao Wenlong and Master Mao, when did Lord Sun fall to the same virtue as Mao Wenlong? Hehe, this is not what Lord Sun did! ”
Sun Chengzong said with an indifferent face: "So what? As long as we can win the war, reduce the casualties of our Korean soldiers, and drag the Dongyu in North Korea, Sun will be satisfied. Are you willing to enter the customs and knock on the east? ”
Liu Yanyuan was suffocated by Sun Chengzong's words, the Ming Dynasty was the Son of Heaven guarding the border, as soon as he entered the border wall, it was Jinggi, which was the Beijing Division, once the enemy defeated the Beijing Division, it would be the world that would shake, and the consequences would be ......, Liu Yanyuan was completely defeated in the ring.
In the face of Sun Chengzong's indifference, everyone has nothing to say, since even Sun Chengzong himself doesn't matter, what are we outsiders talking about? Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao are even more grateful to Sun Chengzong, they have always been inferior to these martial artists, but now that someone looks up, they are naturally grateful.
Liu Yanyuan is now completely speechless, using this kind of indiscriminate tricks plus grenades to smash Dongyu, this Dongyu will shed its skin if it does not die in North Korea, even if the Ming Dynasty loses on the Korean battlefield this year, it will continue next year, it will be enough for Dongyu to drink a pot, Liu Yanyuan also sighed, now this good person has also begun to learn badly! Sun Chengzong, who was originally a good person, now that he is doing things, he has learned that Mao Wenlong, what kind of virtue is Mao Wenlong?
Yang Gengai stood aside alone, watching Sun Chengzong and everyone discuss the North Korean strategy, he felt interesting, and seeing that everyone seemed to have discussed a result, he said with a smile: "Hehe, you Aiqing, what do you think?" ”
"Your Majesty, the minister has nothing to say." Liu Yanyuan was the first to stand up, he really had nothing to say, this matter, in his opinion, although it was not done above board, but he couldn't criticize Sun Chengzong, if he really entered the customs and knocked on the pass, he, the secretary of the military department, would be the first to be unlucky.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this policy is very good, and the minister also has some inspiration from it, and the minister thinks that the Korean battlefield will contain the eastern captives, and the eastern captives will definitely be distracted, and the pace of the eastern captives advancing westward will definitely slow down, which is a great thing." Yuan Chonghuan especially admires this kind of thing, and the direct consequence of this matter is that the pressure on his Jinning defense line has been greatly reduced.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this method is very good, if it weren't for His Majesty asking the minister to clean up the Mongols, the minister would want to do this......" Man Gui looked envious, this kind of teasing Dongyu's way of playing, Man Gui felt that it must be very interesting, and he could also try the feeling of crossing the sea and attacking, Man Gui never thought of it, it turned out to be a battle, and it could be like this, and he was very curious about this unfamiliar method of warfare.
"Hehe, don't think about this matter, let's do your cleanup of Mongolia in advance." Yang Gai rejected Man Gui with a smile, this kind of thing is actually just a trivial matter, and the importance is far less important than cleaning up Mongolia and organizing the Imperial Army.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this strategy is the best way to delay the time for the easterners to advance westward, and it is also the only choice to wear down the strength of the easterners." Zhao Shujiao told the truth, he liked this kind of thing, because they were soldiers, and they all liked to do this kind of thing with few casualties and heavy casualties among the enemy.
Yang Reform was very satisfied, and looked at Sun Chengzong again.
Sun Chengzong said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that when this policy is implemented, it should also be noted that the Dongyu can't stop, can't make the Dongyu feel hopeless and give up North Korea all of a sudden, and can't let the Dongyu progress too fast, the mastery of the strength of this is very crucial, and an experienced person is ......needed to sit in charge."
Yang Reform was curious, this Sun Chengzong said such a thing, didn't he want to go to the Korean battlefield by himself? If Sun Chengzong also leaves, then his right hand is gone, which is obviously not good.
"Hehe, Master Sun, it's still early to do this, let's talk about it later......"
