Chapter 119: A Strategy to Destroy the Country
Fan Zhuoyuan came to the capital of Yuan and asked to make a pilgrimage to see the emperor as soon as possible.
However, he was directly refused, and after receiving the order, the military department ordered him to stand by in Dadu, waiting for the Japanese army to return to the Central Plains and then go south.
Fan Zhuoyuan didn't expect that the emperor would give him a chance to enter the court, so he could only go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Boyan first.
Boyan met Fan Zhuoyuan very happily, but the first sentence he said was accusation.
"Your Majesty ordered you to exterminate the Ming Sect and deal with the martial arts bandits, but you have made no achievements in the past two years, which has greatly disappointed Your Majesty, so I don't want to see you.
By the way, didn't you say that you had found the Dragon Slayer Knife, the knife?"
Fan Zhuoyuan was silent for a moment, and said bluntly: "The affairs of the rivers and lakes are just a small road, and the dragon slaying knife is naturally impossible to carry with you, and there is something else hidden, if Your Majesty needs it, you can present it at any time. However, His Majesty's desire to attack Annam is a major military event.
I once wrote to the court and suggested that there was no need to mobilize the 100,000-strong Japanese army, after all, the whole army had only just been reunited with their families, and the initial cantonment had been completed in Japan, and it was the time when the people's hearts were at peace.
If they are suddenly transferred back to Middle-earth at this time, I am afraid that their morale will be shaken, and the morale of the army will be unstable, and it will be difficult to carry out the attack."
Boyan is quite knowledgeable, of course he knows that what Fan Zhuoyuan said is reasonable, but this matter is the emperor's intention to consume the combat power of the Southern Army, even if the measures are mediocre, they must be implemented.
"The DPRK has already made up its mind on this matter, and it is useless for you to give any more opinions."
Fan Zhuoyuan's face changed, and he said loudly: "I only need to transfer 1,000 personal soldiers back to Middle-earth, and I can integrate 50,000 troops in a year and a half with 1,000 elite soldiers as the backbone, and the soldiers can be selected from both the northern and southern armies.
Attacking Annam with 50,000 troops, the money, money, and food consumed are small, and Fan can set up a military order to destroy Annam, capture the chieftain and enter the capital, why does the imperial court not agree!"
Boyan looked at Fan Zhuoyuan for a long time, and said in a cold tone: "You are a southerner general, how can you believe that the army of 50,000 is safe in the south!" Joke! Do you know how many soldiers the imperial court used before?
500,000! Do you know how many troops Annan has? 300,000! And the military and the civilian one! It should be said, how can you have the courage to speak out! Do you really think that there is no one in the DPRK and China?"
Boyan asked repeatedly, but Fan Zhuoyuan was unmoved.
He said suddenly, "Attacking Annam with an army of 500,000 is the most stupid move. If there are people in the court, hmph, how can the court let me be a southerner general?"
Bo Yan's expression changed drastically, "General Fan, the center is not a place for you to be arrogant and wild."
Fan Zhuoyuan didn't want to sit anymore, and from Boyan's attitude, it was enough to get a glimpse of the emperor's true thoughts.
The four attacks on Annam that he thought of were not aimed at destroying the country at all, but towards destroying the elite of the Southern Army.
It seems that the 500,000-strong army conquered Annam, sent another 300,000 troops after the defeat, and finally returned to China with only 100,000.
If so, then what do you have to fear?
He got up and said, "Prime Minister, Fan can't meet His Majesty in person, but the idea has already been brought. I have taught His Majesty the method of using troops before, but I don't know if it has been intercepted by the villain.
There is also an article written by New Yu, the prime minister can take a closer look, and then hand it over to His Majesty for Fan, if the prime minister is unwilling, Fan has no choice, then he will be on standby in the military department."
After finishing speaking, he left a letter with more than 10,000 words written on the table for the policy of recruiting Annan, ignored Boyan's face, and left angrily.
Boyan sneered, and took the strategy left by Fan Zhuoyuan to use troops, but he watched it carefully.
There are not only texts on it, but also a map of Annam, with major military points and key routes.
Fan Zhuoyuan wrote in a very detailed way how to select troops, how to train troops, how to enter the army, how to fight, how to support logistics, and how to use both military and political measures to resolve the enemy's will to fight, and at the same time how to ensure non-war attrition and the next immigration to Tuntian, and even concisely stated that the time of the war was set in autumn and winter, which was the time when Vietnam's grain was ripe, and the grain could be used to the enemy.
At the same time, it explains the way Annam's army and civilians fought, as well as their weaknesses, which are similar to those expressed in the military reports of previous defeats.
The overall combat effectiveness of the Annan army is not strong, and the strongest type of army is the elephant soldier, but the elephant soldier is never difficult to break, and there are a large number of methods to defeat the elephant soldier from the Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty for reference.
The only thing is that the will of the Annam army is very tenacious, and in the event of a strong massacre, they will avoid the jungle and mountains to fight guerrillas, which is very difficult to prevent.
But in the occupied area, the thumbs of the people's feet are widely chopped off, which is for the toe, and without two fingers on the feet, it is difficult to climb the mountains and mountains, and they can only obey the orders of Tuntian. Compared with the threat of slaughtering the city at every turn, although this method is cruel, it does not kill, which is enough to give the local soldiers and civilians the hope of exchanging their lives, thus breaking the enemy's will to fight to a certain extent.
In terms of overall strategy, because Vietnam's territory presents a long pattern along the coast, troops were sent from Dali and Guangxi to oppress, so that its main force went north to defend.
In a frontal decisive battle, 20,000 elite soldiers are enough to break through more than 100,000 of its soldiers.
Then he ordered the navy to set out from Qiongzhou, constantly harassing the coast, and when the time was right, the navy would land ashore, because of the narrow terrain of Annam, it could easily cut off its retreat and prevent its main force from escaping to Zhancheng, so as to attack from the north and south, gather and annihilate it.
If the enemy does not fight a decisive battle, it will extensively march to occupy the main grain-producing areas of the Red River Delta Plain and the Mekong River Plain, and move the people of Guangzhou, Fujian, and Guangdong to defend themselves and build forts to train troops.
Then the enemy army can only wait for the arrival of the summer heat in the mountains and forests, and at this time, it is necessary to recruit Langzhong in the army, to prevent the heatstroke, and strictly defend it, as long as it can survive the summer heat, it is considered a victory.
If the enemy army takes advantage of the situation to harvest grain and grass, it is better to destroy the grain than to fight the enemy. In the autumn and winter, the counteroffensive and encirclement strategy will be carried out again.
Such a war will last for three years at most, and with the current national strength of Annam, it will be difficult to fight for a long time under the condition of long-term food shortage, so that the country can be destroyed according to its national unity.
Later, after the occupation of Annam, how to govern, how to naturalize its people, how to carry out class differentiation, so that its internal contradictions overshadow external contradictions, coupled with the strategy of Jiaozhi, even if the people in the mountains and forests are strong, it is difficult to become a climate.
The more Boyan looked at it, the more frightened he became, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Fan Zhuoyuan's policy was very executable, and it seemed that Fan Zhuoyuan's understanding of Annan was really the most profound in the entire court.
The above method of using soldiers, as if every move is aimed at Annan's weakness, if it is really implemented according to this method, there is indeed a lot to be done to destroy Annan.
He put away the military policy and couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity, you are a southern general, if not......
After Fan Zhuoyuan left the Prime Minister's Mansion, he turned on the system and chose the task without hesitation!
"Mission 3: Slay the Dragon!
The rest of the tasks are all canceled, no remorse, and after the mission is successful, karma will be rewarded with the remaining life of the Son of Heaven, and the Shattered Void can be activated at any time to enter the next world."
In the evening, Fan Zhuoyuan didn't eat very much, he came to a wonton stall on the side of the street with a dragon slaying knife on his back and ordered a bowl of wontons.
Behind him sat a nun, and a raunchy Taoist priest.
