Chapter 120 The strategy of the Imperial Liao, the heart is the first

After defeating the Liaodong Army, Zhu Huan went on a non-stop expedition to the east.

The Liaodong Army collapsed on all fronts, and Yang Wen was captured, which also pushed the Qi Wangfu to its peak.

Now the Qi Wangfu, after the incorporation of the Liaodong Army, there are 150,000 warriors.

This is a terrifying number, in the face of the Qi Wangfu in full swing, the entire territory of Liaodong after the rout, there is no decent army that can stop Zhu Huan's pace.

Zhu Huan directly bulldozed, captured Liaoyang, the capital of Liaodong, and sent troops to cover the entire territory of Liaodong with Liaoyang as the core.

Liaoyang in the middle road, Guangning in the west, Shenyang in the north, Gaizhou in the south, and Kaizhou in the east. The 150,000 army, like a sky full of stars, spread like a sky full of stars, completely controlling Liaodong in the hands of King Qi's mansion.

And Zhu Huan himself is moving to a new house at this time.

The original vassal king of Liaodong was Zhu Zhi, the king of Liao, and Zhu Zhi took care of his own territory. He may not be too good at leading troops to fight, but for the way of keeping the success, it is really a rare god-man.

After Zhu Zhi became a vassal, in the case of lack of money and food, he insisted on supporting Liaodong, and built the Liaowang Mansion in Guangning to recuperate. Liaodong, which is obviously a land of food shortage, can not only be self-sufficient, but even give back to the imperial court under his care. If it weren't for this, it would be impossible for Yang Wen to stabilize the overall situation after the army was stopped several times. This also cheapens Zhu Huan, and he no longer has to worry about food and grass.

There is a saying in the future, called "The Jurchen is less than 10,000, and the 10,000 are invincible", but in front of the Liaodong Army in the early Ming Dynasty, the Jurchen was a dog.

In the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, the governor Song Cheng led the guards in the palace of the king of Liao, and the governor Liu Zhen led the guards in the palace of the king of Ning, and commanded Zhuang De to lead 30,000 guards to the north of Heilongjiang, and attacked Xiyangha, the Jurchen chief of the Haixi vultures who had returned and rebelled.

The Ming army advanced to the Kura River, and then divided the troops into three routes. The guards of the Liao Wangfu led by Song Cheng marched from the northwest Tonghe to Ayang Hazhai in an attempt to encircle Xiyang Hazhai. It's a pity that the Jurchens who got the news did not dare to respond to the battle and fled, and finally only captured more than 650 men and women and more than 400 horses in Nuzhi Town.

Zhu Zhi has been recuperating for many years, pushing the Liaodong Army to the peak, the soldiers are strong and strong, and the silver and grain are abundant, this is the most glorious period of his life, he is like a tiger patrolling the entire Liaodong.

According to Lao Zhu's layout, at that time, there was an Andong guard of King Han in the important town of Liaodong, and Shenyang was guarded by King Shenyang, and in the future, King Zhu Song of Han and King Shen Zhu Mo became adults, and the three kings of Liaodong were sealed. The Liaodong Ming army can go north at any time to the north to deter the Jurchen tribes, or to carry out a roundabout attack on the Mongol tribes!

If there is a police in the pass, the Liaodong Ming army can also be reinforced immediately. As for the Goryeo Kingdom to the south, or later the Korean Kingdom, it was not a problem.

It's a pity that with the death of Zhu Yuanzhang, the newly enthroned Zhu Yunwen cut the domain, Zhu Di was forced to return to Beijing, and Lao Zhu's careful layout in Liaodong came to naught, which is a pity.

Although the King of Liao, who was pinned on by Lao Zhu, collapsed, this did not affect Zhu Huan's inheritance of the family business that Zhu Zhi had worked so hard to accumulate.

The Liaodong army was defeated, although there were countless soldiers, but there were still 20,000 prisoners who did not surrender, Zhu Huan did not let these people be idle, and directly threw them to Liaoyang to build the Qi Wangfu for him.

In Zhu Huan's future layout, Liaoyang is the real heart of Liaodong.

These captives were unwilling to give Zhu Huan their lives, and he did not force it. But if you want to eat food for nothing and not work, it will be too grassy.

In line with the principle of "no waste", these captives became the largest labor force in Liaodong, but Zhu Huan preferred to call them "brick-moving troops". These brick-moving armies don't want to fight for him, so it's okay, then go and move bricks!

20,000 people built the new Qi Palace, and the efficiency was still very fast.

Before the construction of the new Qi Palace, Zhu Huan unceremoniously lived in the former Liao Palace, located in Guangning.

In the short term, Guangning's geographical location is more suitable for overall planning than Liaoyang, because at this time, Zhu Huan's focus is not on the Mongol tribes in the north, the Jurchen tribes, and the Goryeo Kingdom in the east, but to deal with Zhu Di's Yan division.

If you can't resist Zhu Di, then the rest of the talk will be nonsense.

……

"The number of Liaodong troops that have been incorporated is a bit beyond the budget of this king."

Located in Guangning's Liao Wangfu, Zhu Huan set up a mahogany table in the courtyard, and looked at the military report presented by Wu Qi while scalding the hot pot: "A total of more than 78,900 Liaodong troops have been recruited, which is nearly 80,000 more than the army of Qi Wangfu." ”

After the first battle of Shanhaiguan, the total number of Liaodong troops incorporated before and after was nearly 80,000, and the soldiers and horses under the command of Qi Sihu in the Qi Wangfu plus the army that fought all the way from Jinling to Yongping were only more than 70,000, of which Qi Sihu's army was only in the early 50,000s.

"Although the incorporated Liaodong Army has already stated that it belongs to the Qi Wangfu, if there is a big war, I am afraid that there will be problems." Wu Qi frowned and said.

"The big problem can't be solved, now that the southern army is gone, if they want to betray the Qi Palace, they will either establish themselves as kings or surrender to the Yan Palace." Zhu Huan shook his head and said: "If they set themselves up as kings, they don't have the courage, because no matter how deep the contradiction between this king and the fourth brother is, if someone dares to be crowned king with a different surname, Yan Wangfu and Qi Wangfu will unite to cut off this sprout." ”

No matter how much trouble there is between Zhu Huan and Zhu Di, it is also a problem of their own brothers, no matter who belongs to this world, it is surnamed Zhu, the son of the first emperor. But if someone comes out independently and wants to get a piece of the pie in this world, it is to force the Qi Wangfu and the Yan Wangfu to join forces.

If you really let the Qi Wangfu and the Yan Wangfu join forces, it will be a small rebel army, even if the Mongolian tribes and the Jurchen tribes are tied together, it will not be enough to fight.

If the two kings are united, they can sweep the world.

"As for the second option, it's even more unlikely. Betraying the Qi Wangfu and joining the Yan Wangfu is essentially the same for them, and this king now controls Liaodong, for them, the Qi Wangfu is on the right track. Zhu Huan thought for a while and said: "But this must not be guarded against, if there is a war, the army is not united, it is not a trivial matter." The largest number of troops in the Qi Wangfu is still Wei Wushu, and at this time, you have to be ruthless. ”

Wu Qi raised his eyebrows: "The prince wants to merge Wei Wushu and the Liaodong Army into one?" ”

"Yes, put Wei Wushu and the Liaodong Army into a formation, you have me, I have you, not more than half a year, and I will work together." Zhu Huan bowed his head and said: "However, after the merger of the army, the establishment of Wei Wushu is higher than that of the Liaodong Army, especially the high-level generals, and it is still necessary to take Wei Wushu as the core." ”

The Liaodong Army surrendered to his Qi Palace, so it is impossible for him Zhu Huan not to reuse it because of suspicion, otherwise how is it different from Yang Wen's move?

So Zhu Huan thought of a compromise method, that is, to integrate Wei Wushu, the largest army in the Qi Palace, with the Liaodong Army.

In this way, it is the best policy.

The strategy of Yuliao is to attack the heart.
