Shout!

An arrow broke through the breeze and landed on a hare with precision.

A man in the distance was riding on a horse and laughed: "Okay! Shot! ”

"Division Commander .. Sure enough, it's a good archery! ”

On top of the several war horses behind him, a group of staff officers of the Heavenly Tiger Army hurriedly stepped forward and said, and the man who had just shot the arrow was Meng Tu.

"Not bad, yes, tell the cooking class of the division headquarters, we can have more food at noon today!"

"Drive!"

"Divisional commander! Slow down, slow down! ”

...

The discussion in the court was not over yet, and Zhu Youzhen asked people to put away the Ming territory map and said again to the ministers.

"I think that there is only one way to solve the Mongolian problem, and that is to annex the entire Mongolia into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and give the Mongolians on the steppe the same rights as the people of the Ming Dynasty!"

The ministers did not understand very much.

Zhu Youzhen's approach is not something that no one has done, but it is often difficult for the monarchs of the past dynasties to dare to do so.

On the other hand, it is really difficult for those peoples on horseback to return to the fields.

If they can't make a living from farming, it means that sooner or later they will have to return to a nomadic life.

"Your Majesty . . . The minister thought that this move was too hasty, and it would be difficult to achieve results for a while, but it would make the people of Daming arouse public anger! After all, how can you forget the deep feud in the sea of blood? ”

Unexpectedly, Zhu Youzhen stood above the court, but instead said to the minister who raised the question with a smile on his face.

"I want to build a city on the grassland, I want to allow the Mongols to enter the city to do business, allow them to cultivate farmland on the grassland, and even allow their children to study in the school set up by the Ming Dynasty, and allow them to participate in the new imperial examination!"

"But ministers, who knows what my ultimate goal is in doing this?" Before Zhu Youzhen's voice fell, Wei Zhongxian on the side bowed down and stood up at the right time.

I saw him open his mouth and say: "The emperor's strategy, the old slave is extremely admired, this move can be called a clear strategy, not more than three generations.. There will be no soldiers in the grasslands who are good at riding and archery, no people who are good at herding, and no people who dare to disobey the court! ”

"Hahahaha! Still Grandpa Wei understands me! ”

"Your Majesty.. If this is the case, the imperial court will invest a lot of money in the grassland to build cities and open schools, and so many Mongols will pour into the city at the same time to seek a livelihood. On the contrary, it is easy to cause a catastrophe! ”

On the other side, there was another imperial historian who couldn't convince himself, and said bitterly in the main hall...

But Zhu Youzhen's eyes locked slightly, shrugged his shoulders as if he didn't care, and said casually: "Then it's good to let the Mongols have less..." Isn't that what I'm doing right now? ”

As soon as this statement came out.

Zhu Youzhen's ruthless scheming can be said to be unobstructed, and it is vividly displayed to all the princes and ministers in the court.

All the ministers gasped instantly!

Everything seems to follow the trend...

On the grassland, the movement of the Heavenly Tiger Army's army can be said to be still slow.

Inside the big tent.

Mont was clutching a roasted and temptingly fragrant hare in one hand and eating it with a mouthful of oil, while the other hand was pointing at the marching map hanging from the tent.

"It's almost time... I won't hide some things anymore, so I'll just take the opportunity to tell all the teachers at once..."

"Do you know why the imperial court sent a full 150,000 troops into the grassland this time? And they are well-equipped, and most of them are still our troops who have fought from Liaodong."

When the other division commander heard this, he didn't care about the food in his hand, and hurriedly answered: "Ah! Master Meng really has something to hide from us... To be honest, this question has been bothering me for a long time... Could it be that the emperor is trying to be more sure? ”

"! Hutuketu's tens of thousands of cavalry didn't have such a big face, so the emperor sent tens of thousands of troops to the grassland to encircle and suppress him! What the emperor wants is to swallow the grassland in one go! Swallow Mongolia! ”

"Shhhhh

After saying that, Meng Tu put down the roast rabbit in his hand, stood up and said to everyone: "Next, what I want to say is how this battle should be fought this time!" ”

"Today, the total strength of our army is as high as 150,000, and to tell the truth, it seems to me that if we draw two or three divisions, we can beat Hutuketu all over the ground like a rabbit on the grassland."

Subsequently, Meng Tuo talked about how to win this war against Mongolia in detail!

"It's just one word! Let Hutuketu vigorously attack the steppe tribes above Tatar Mongolia, and my Tiger Army can watch the fire from the other side, and there is no need to attack either side in person! ”

"And when Hutuketu scattered all the tens of thousands of cavalry in his hands in the territory of Tatar, the Tianhu Army will be divided into two places, and there will be about five infantry divisions and extremely coordinated artillery divisions and logistics support brigades directly interspersed with Moxi Mongolia! Cut off the back road of Hutuketu! ”

"And the others, as for the rest of the people, will continue to chase Hutuketu with the official, so that he will not dare to stop for a moment, and continue to go deeper into the Tatars! They can't go to the south, and the guard post that stretches for thousands of miles has now been completely taken over by the border division, and the artillery in the guard post can make him Hutu Ketu drink a good pot! ”

"Then you can only go to the east, and to the east."

The corners of Meng Tu's mouth curled slightly, and he said: "There are still five infantry divisions of the Heavenly Tiger Army stationed in Liaodong!" ”

"This battle! Solve Mongolia in one fell swoop! ”

"Yes!"

...

In the palace, Zhu Youzhen strolled in the small garden of the harem, and as early as last year, Zhu Youzhen, who had eradicated all the delicate flowers such as peonies in the harem garden, planted bamboo.

Although the summer breeze is a little hot and dry, in the small bamboo forest in the palace, Zhu Youzhen, who is sitting in the gazebo, is holding a small glass bowl with the ice cream that has just been delivered...

The thoughts in his mind kept flowing, this time Zhu Youzhen actually invested a lot of money in Mongolian affairs, not as outside officials seemed, as if he was just going to war to pacify Mongolia.

It is not to intervene in order to coordinate the so-called forces of the two sides of Mongolia.

What Zhu Youzhen wants is a war! Completely let the Mongols who had not been available for decades be young and strong, and let all the Mongols on the steppe who could jump on horseback to resist the Ming Dynasty be buried in this battle.

This is what Zhu Youzhen wants!

The territory will not be too big, originally Zhu Youzhen coveted the Hetao Plain and the surrounding rich oil, coal and iron ore resources.

wanted to fool into his hands, and couldn't find a suitable reason for a while, but who knew that Hutuketu actually dared to take chestnuts in the fire and wanted to pick such a big peach from Tatar Mongolia under Zhu Youzhen.

And for this reason, even normal trade is not even taken into account.

"All I can say is .. This year's Mongolians are really stupid! ”
