Tianjin is already close enough to Beijing, only two hundred miles, how can you use the sea route?

The climate in spring was mild, the wind was light, the sea was relatively stable, and there was no fear of hurricanes, which was a perfect jihua for Zhou Huchen's spring offensive.

In other words, Zhou Huchen is going to make a very big move, and this big move is not something he wants to say, but he has to say it, because he has to ask for the consent of several people present. As overseers, Zhu Dadian and Shi Kefa can influence the formulation of the war, and at the same time can veto Zhou Huchen's combat jihua, so Zhou Huchen said it immediately after he had his appetite.

It wasn't that Zhu Dadian and Shi Kefa didn't want to exercise their right to supervise the army, but that the two thought that Zhou Huchen would make the most correct decision, Zhou Huchen's reputation for victory was not blown, he would solve everything, and this time to solve the battle of the Jiannu cavalry shows the correctness of this decision. I believe Zhou Huchen is right! Although these decisions were made by Zhou Huchen, in the subsequent recitals presented to the court, it was actually Zhu Dadian, Shi Kefa and Ye Yinzhi who were strategizing. In fact, after the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, civil officials were always the biggest beneficiaries of both the war and the court.

"Closed? Shanhaiguan? Zhu Dadian made a neck-pinching gesture.

Zhou Huchen smiled: "The sea journey is only four or five hundred miles!" How about we go shut down and beat the dogs? ”

This battle jihua is too grandiose! He exceeded Zhu Dadian's imagination, and Zhu Dadian shook his head slightly: "What about the troops?" Xiaohu's idea is good, but how can he have so many troops? The battle near the Jingshi is the most important thing, Xiaohu must be cautious! ”

"Master Overseer, we have a lot of sailors! Fujian, Zhejiang, and the naval forces near Nanjing add up to nearly 80,000, and I still have 30,000 naval troops under my command, and the total number of these naval troops has exceeded 100,000. In addition, tens of thousands of foot soldiers in Zhenjiang will join the Northern Expedition again in the spring of tomorrow, and the 20,000 dragoons of Bixia will also be trained, and the time will come. How many troops will we have? ”

Zhu Dadian still shook his head: "These sailors know what it looks like, it's okay to wave the flag and shout, I'm afraid that in addition to your subordinates, there are only those sailors in Fujian who can really fight, and Shanhaiguan may be difficult to use these sailors to fight against Jiannu's soldiers!" ”

"Who said to use these trolls as the main force? How many Jiannu garrisons were there in Shanhaiguan? Zhou Huchen continued to laugh, and his smile was a little sinister.

"Let the main force go to Shanhaiguan along the coastal road, this can't be done! Where is Jiannu easy to deal with, isn't the army tight between Tianjin and Hejian, once Jiannu counterattacks, the consequences are unimaginable! Never! Shi Kefa finally couldn't help it, the transfer of soldiers from the river was undoubtedly very dangerous for the entire battle situation, and Zhou Huchen was undoubtedly in danger. Shi Kefa was the first to disagree.

Zhou Huchen calmly continued to smile and explained: "Zhenjiang's 50,000 steps plus 20,000 dragoons are enough, and these 100,000 water army, what does the combat strength of the water army generally have?" Wave the flag and shout always! Our army only needs 20,000 or 30,000 elite soldiers to reach Shanhaiguan, and this elite soldier also includes some cavalry, as long as there is a ship, my army can go directly to Shanhaiguan by sea. When the general offensive begins, what other counteroffensive capabilities does Jiannu have? Their only way to survive is to withdraw from the customs, the northern capital belongs to us, and since these people who have entered the customs have dared to enter the customs. I don't want to go back to my hometown! I'm going to drive them to the Mongolian steppe, as for the steppe."

This strategic deployment is too grand! The grandeur was unimaginable, leaving the other four people dumbfounded.

It didn't seem to be over yet, Zhou Huchen continued to sensationalize: "How many years? How many years have the nomads been the enemies of my China? Dynasties and dynasties. These barbarians threaten the safety of our China all the time, and the shame of the past dynasties and dynasties, I, Zhou Huchen, want to use soldiers to get it back! I want to let Jiannu never turn over, I want to level the entire prairie, and let these horses kneel in front of China! The kid knows it's hard! But even if I, Zhou Huchen, are buried in the prairie. I, the soldiers under him, will also fulfill this wish for my Huaxia, a thousand-year-old opportunity! Since I have this opportunity, I, Zhou Huchen, deserve it! ”

Zhou Huchen is really Zhou Huchen! Jiannu was defeated and retreated. It's crazy that he wants to enter the prairie, and he wants to solve the problems of China for thousands of years!

This is no longer so simple as grandeur, Zhou Huchen wants to plunge the entire grassland into war, Zhou Huchen wants to solve the threat of the grassland people for thousands of years, as long as the goal is achieved, a hundred years of peace is not a problem. But at the same time, I am afraid that this is a long-lasting war, although Zhou Huchen is strong, how can it be so simple to conquer the boundless grassland!

Is Zhou Huchen exaggerating?

Absolutely not, Zhou Huchen, who can do what Jiannu can do, can also do it, although Jiannu relied on the Mongol alliance Liliang to conquer the entire Mongolian steppe. But Zhou Huchen's Jihua is a boundless mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, Zhou Huchen is ready, he wants to let the war continue, and let the inheritance of China continue, this is his ideal. The interests of the country and the nation always come first, and Zhou Huchen's words and expressions have shown that he is ready.

There was silence.

Because the scene designed by Zhou Huchen was too big, the big ones didn't know how to respond

"Once the spring offensive begins, Jiannu has no power to fight back, and the old man agrees to send troops to block Shanhaiguan, so that Jiannu will die without a place to be buried!" Or Zhu Dadian, Zhu Dadian is a more radical person, and this radicalism is also full of the wisdom of civil officials, because this is equivalent to indirectly agreeing with Zhou Huchen's overall jihua - finding an excuse to chase into the grassland, and at the same time indirectly avoiding the court.

Shi Kefa hesitated, excited, hesitated and excited at the same time, the temptation to conquer the entire prairie and bring long-term peace to the land of China attracted him so much.

This is no longer a question of merit, it is a matter of the orthodox rule of the entire Central Plains. After a long time, Shi Kefa finally nodded slightly: "Yes!" The only way to take Shanhaiguan and build slaves is to borrow Mongolia, Xiaohu can go to Mongolia to chase the slave chieftains, and use his own troops! ”

Shi Kefa agreed, but in order to prevent leaving a false excuse for others, he also gave a reason.

Ye Yinzhi, the superintendent, actually had no say in front of Zhu Dadian and Shi Kefa, but he had to make an appearance: "Uncle Dongchang's plan is very good!" My heart yearns for it! ”

Ye Yinzhi also agreed, and Huang Degong had no objection, this Jihua who conquered the prairie was undoubtedly his dream. This has nothing to do with what kind of merit is obtained, it is related to the future of the whole of China, and what kind of heavy stroke he will leave in the history books in the future.

Zhou Huchen's appetite was over, and the result was satisfactory, and Zhou Huchen successfully persuaded Zhu Dadian and Shi Kefa. But he still didn't reveal the whole thing, because his loyal ally Weng Zhiqi had already started to act. There is no other reason, that is, Zhu Dadian and Shi Kefa do not agree that Zhou Huchen will also act, and this sea trip is the most important item in Zhou Huchen's overall jihua, and it is an action that must be carried out.

Weng Zhiqi returned to Huai'an, and his navy was conducting a new training with Yu Dahu, which was much stricter than before. In addition to the new way of training the soldiers, Zhou Huchen equipped all the naval forces with new weapons, and what is even more exciting is that the new shipboard guns have begun to be gradually equipped on the warships, and a new era in Zhou Huchen's mind has actually begun.
