Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Rich Ming and the Poor Warat
Zhu Qizhen then actually folded his fingers and calculated: "This war, I heard those veterans say, it is nothing more than how many soldiers there are and how much food there is."
Let's talk about soldiers first, Warat is to use all the soldiers that can be used, and it can only kill more than 100,000 people and horses.
What about my Daming, in the battle of Tumubao, nearly 100,000 main forces in Beijing broke through.
These soldiers are the elite of my Ming Dynasty, and the soldiers and horses who can fight with you in the field and not lose the upper hand, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the army of a hundred battles.
Moreover, in addition to the 100,000 horses and horses who accompanied me to personally march, there were still more than 80,000 people and horses left behind in Beijing, although most of them were auxiliary craftsmen, although their combat strength was not as good as that of the regular soldiers, it was more than enough to defend the city.
The hundreds of thousands of troops in Beijing alone are afraid that they can give you a headache.
But I'm Ming, how can I stop this army of hundreds of thousands?
Not to mention anything else, my Ming Dynasty is in Nanjing, and there are three major battalions in Nanjing, with an army of more than 100,000 people.
Oh, by the way, over there in Nanjing, in addition to the army, there are also stocks of armor and weapons, more than two million pieces of firearms, hundreds of thousands of pounds of gunpowder, and thousands of artillery.
That's it, I haven't counted the 100,000 reserve troops in Henan, the 200,000 reserve Japanese troops in Shandong and Nanjing, and the 80,000 grain troops in Jiangbei and Beijing.
That's it, I haven't counted the guards and the squad troops in various places. ”
Boyan can be counted, and this has reached an astonishing more than 500,000 horses.
Boyan knew that the number of Ming troops was far more than what Zhu Qizhen said.
Xuanfu, Datong, Shaanxi, Liaodong, there are no less than two or three hundred thousand in a few places alone, Rao is in accordance with the idea of Yexian, let the Tatar, Wuliangha, Shazhou, Jurchen and other tribes contain, but the Ming army can easily draw out more than 100,000 people.
Moreover, Boyan, who was familiar with the Han people, knew that once the situation in the Ming Kingdom was endangered, he issued an edict from King Qin and recruited soldiers from all over the country......
I'm afraid that the Ming army that Wara will face at that time will more than double the 500,000.
Zhu Qizhen did not brag this time, after the change of Tumubao in history, the Ming Dynasty collected hundreds of thousands of troops in a short period of time, and transported 1.2 million pieces of weapons from the Nanjing arsenal.
Compared with the poor Huazi in Wara, Daming can be said to be very rich.
"After talking about the soldiers, let's talk about the food."
Zhu Qizhen got up and fiddled with the bowl on the table: "This is Nantong Prefecture, this is Beitong Prefecture, and this is Jingshi."
Since Taizong, nine out of nine of the north-south transportation is a canal line, to tell you the truth, Beitongzhou has millions of stones of grain, this amount, a lot.
I believe that once the Vara Pass is breached, the imperial court will immediately transport grain from Beitongzhou to Jingshi to defend the city in case of emergency.
Beitongzhou is only dozens of miles away from Beijing, and the imperial court built a gallop road, which will arrive in two hours at most.
At that time, the imperial court will spend more money and will be able to transport grain to the capital in a few days.
At that time, even if your soldiers are in Beijing, the soldiers in Beijing are well-fed, and it is the largest city in the world, will you be able to take it?
Do you still need to ask this question?
I didn't even take a Bauhinia Pass for four days, and I copied the trail under the leadership of a traitor, and I barely broke through the detour.
Even in history, he first fought all the way to the city of Beijing, but he didn't take a single big city along the way, and finally he had no choice but to withdraw from the pass.
Zhu Qizhen then continued to put a few bowls: "This is Xuanfu, the inner three passes, Datong, these three soldiers and horses follow closely, once you are frustrated in the pass, it will be a lone army to go deep, as for the end, I don't need to say more."
To put it mildly, even if I were to be wiped out at Tumu Fort, you wouldn't have much of an advantage.
Even if he was resurrected, he didn't dare to boast of staying in Haikou in the Central Plains.
He also had some skills at first, but according to Wang Baobao, he was ...... More than 108,000 miles. ”
Wang Baobao, the king of Dayuan Qi, a ruthless man who can defeat Xu Da, many founding fathers have been defeated at his hands, and even Ming Taizu called Qi "strange man".
But this is such a person, and he has never been able to help Dayuan return to Guannai again in his life.
Boyan felt a chill to his bones.
He knew very well that every step Zhu Qizhen guessed was right.
Boyan is a rare pro-Ming faction within Wara, advocating trade and friendship with the Ming Kingdom, so he has not caused much dissatisfaction with others in Warat, saying that those who read the books of the Han people have forgotten their ancestors.
But Boyan didn't care, not because of anything else, but because he understood that Warat and the Ming Dynasty were not opponents of the same level at all.
As Zhu Qizhen just said, in terms of manpower and financial resources, Warat is not even a fraction of the Ming Dynasty.
One arsenal can easily make up millions of weapons. A Tongzhou can store millions of stone of grain casually.
An edict can simply recruit hundreds of thousands of people.
These things alone will not be able to make up one-twelfth of the Mongolian effort, even if they exhaust all their strength.
Such a gap in strength is by no means something that can be made up by manpower.
Wang Baobao was not good at the time, and he is not good at it now.
The Ming Dynasty was like a wealthy merchant with a high-walled compound and a large family with thousands of dollars in his pocket, and Wara was like a skinny and vicious beggar.
It's nothing to grab something in the past, but if you really want to take away other people's wealth, it's not a fool's dream.
When capturing Zhu Qizhen, Boyan put forward his own idea, taking the opportunity to blackmail the Ming State, reconcile with the Ming State, and reopen the Shang tribute, and even took the opportunity to force the Ming State to recognize the status of the Great Yuan and get rid of the identity of the Ming Dynasty.
But first, he came up with a crazy plan, and kept telling Boyan about the feasibility of this plan.
Boyan was really moved for a while.
He thought that even if it really backfired, as long as Zhu Qizhen was in hand, he would always have the capital to maneuver with the Ming Dynasty.
But today's words from Zhu Qizhen completely shattered his confidence.
Once you enter the customs, it is very likely that there is no return, and there will be heavy losses.
At that time, if Zhu Qizhen really becomes the emperor, then the weight of this hole card will be greatly reduced.
After a long time, Bo Yan spoke: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, in fact, the minister has also persuaded the Taishi, the matter of going south is really too risky, but the Taishi said that now that Your Majesty is in hand, it is a once-in-a-lifetime good time, and the restoration of the glory of Dayuan is just around the corner......"
"Fart", Zhu Qizhen scolded with a smile, "It's really laughing to death, restore the glory of Dayuan?" I'm afraid this kind of nonsense can only be used to deceive people's minds.
What did he want first? Sima Zhao's heart, passers-by know, isn't it the position of the Great Yuan Great Khan.
You and I both know in our hearts that the Great Yuan in your hearts died long ago on the day of the Northern Expedition in the Hongwu years, and Emperor Yuan Shun abandoned the capital.
It is not you who inherit the orthodoxy of the Great Yuan, but my emperor. ”
