Chapter 200: I'm Different from Other Emperors
You must know that one of the important reasons for the repeated defeats of the Ming army in history is that the coordination is not effective and the coordination is poor. He even fled before he was defeated, and deliberately harmed his allies.
The more coordinated operations in which many troops participate, the more unbearable the performance becomes.
The most famous example of the battle is the Battle of Sarhu, where the unbearable performance of the Ming army also ruined the situation in Liaodong and made the rise of Jiannu difficult to control.
Many people may think that it was the Ming army's split attack that made a strategic mistake, which allowed Nurhachi to break through one by one and become famous in one battle.
Although this conclusion is not wrong, it is not comprehensive, inthorough, and does not give a detailed account of the entire war.
Zhu Youxiao's understanding was not very detailed, until he asked many courtiers and consulted relevant information, he knew it clearly, and he was angry enough.
Originally, the four-way army cooperated with each other, supported each other, divided into joint attacks, and also mobilized the North Korean army and the Yeh tribe.
However, at the beginning of the battle, Juniper's troops moved too quickly, isolated and prominent, and were defeated by the concentrated and fierce attack of the Houjin army; When Marin's troops learned of the defeat of Juniper's army, they did not dare to advance, so in order to preserve their strength, they set up camp and dug trenches and took a defensive position.
Not surprisingly, Ma Lin's troops were defeated and fled under the onslaught of the superior Jiannu, and the general soldier Ma Lin was only spared.
Due to the rugged mountain roads and the difficulty of movement, the Eastern Route Army led by Liu Wei failed to advance to Hetuara on schedule, and did not know that the western and northern routes had been defeated, but still marched north according to the original plan. He was ambushed at Abu Daligang, defeated and killed, and the whole army was scattered.
Li Rubai's troops were slow to act, and only when they reached Hubangang (east of Qinghe Fort), they received the news of the three-way rout, and also received Yang Hao's retreat order.
Then, when the officers and men of the Li Department heard the signal of the Houjin whistle sounding the snail, they shouted loudly, and they fled in terror, trampling on each other, killing and wounding thousands.
There is also the commander-in-chief, Yang Hao, who is in Shenyang and has a mobile force, but he has no response to the three-way Ming army.
There is no blocking, containment, it is completely to see who comes quickly and hit whom, so that there is no technical content of each break, Zhu Youxiao feels that even rookies will make decisions like this.
However, the various departments of the Ming army not only acted inconsistently, but also had the big problem of the generals being constrained and the morale of the army being discouraged.
In the battle of Salhu, the Ming army was defeated unjustly, but the defeat was so hasty and such a child's play, Zhu Youxiao could not accept it.
In order to avoid such a result, even if the generals would not be so selfish and self-respecting, so fearful of the enemy like a tiger, and so reckless and underestimating the enemy, Zhu Youxiao was not prepared to adopt similar tactics again.
The speed of communication is too slow, and the road conditions have a great influence on the movement, and these two factors alone make it very difficult for the split attack to achieve the desired goal.
And launching in turn may not make Jiannu face huge pressure all of a sudden, but if you have to divide the troops, the subsequent battles will reveal more flaws.
The key is that the Ming army launched by various departments can act flexibly, and there is no rigidity to arrive within a time limit. Fight if you can, retreat if you can, and grasp it according to the specific enemy situation.
In this way, it will not be easy to give Jiannu the opportunity to quickly concentrate forces, act quickly, and strike quickly.
Of course, when launching in turn, all Ming armies should be ready to act, and act according to the changes in the enemy in front of them.
To put it bluntly, whether it is launched at the same time or sequentially, the difference is only in time. It seems to give Jiannu more choices, but it also gives him a chance to expose his flaws.
As for the merit, Liaoshen gave Liaozhen and the Ming army in southern Liaoning, and Jianzhou Wei and Hetuala, which were left to the Dongjiang headquarters, all of which were places of great political significance, and they were not favoritism.
Besides, this is assigned based on strength, and if you want to monopolize all the credit, you have to have a matching force.
And what Zhu Youxiao is worried about is actually Mao Wenlong, as well as Kong Youde and several other guys who have bad deeds and notoriety in history.
But in retrospect, the worry is a bit too much. This cannot but be said to be the credit of Zhu Youxiao. The measures taken from the outset to monitor the decentralization have had an effect and have been fully logistically ensured.
I will not live up to you, and you will not be ungrateful and have a grudge against the court. After all, it is only a very small number of people who are disheartened. There is no love for no reason, and there is no hate for no reason, everything has a cause and effect.
And this is the biggest difference between Zhu Youxiao and other emperors in history, knowing reciprocity, knowing returns, and knowing that rewards and punishments are clear.
Thunder, rain and dew are all graces, and this sentence alone can explain the principles of all emperors and the virtues of feudal emperors.
Rewarding you is a favor, killing you is also a grace, there can be no complaints, kowtow and lead.
No matter how the monarch's father is not, the courtiers must also be loyal and serve, and they can't have the heart of rebellion and rebellion, they can't even think about it.
Zhu Youxiao once imagined that if he did not cross into the emperor, he would be an official who suffered from injustice and frequent suppression. Or a hungry person who just wants to eat and hope that the court will have mercy on the tax cut. Will there be rebellion in the troubled times at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and will there be a struggle for the sake of undue peace and hunger.
The answer is yes, the nature of the traverser, there is no obedience to death, only the struggle to keep moving forward.
Because of this, Zhu Youxiao, as the emperor, can empathize, think more for his loyal courtiers, and try to make them feel the value of their efforts.
If you want people to be grateful, is it just in the name of a feudal monarch and minister, Zhu Youxiao doesn't agree with all of them, at least if he is a courtier, he won't think so simple.
This psychology of the emperor manifested itself in many places, not only in courtiers, but also in his women. If you are careful, you can feel it.
Zhang Yan, Concubine Wang Liang, Concubine Duan Chun, Concubine Zhang Yu, and Li Chengcheng all realized that the emperor was not a merciless person. As long as you are good and don't do wrong things that the emperor can't tolerate, the emperor won't treat you kindly. Even if it is not particularly favored, it will not be ignored, and it will be like being beaten into the cold palace.
After two or three years, what is the difference between being a widow and a widow? The palace is magnificent, what is the difference between it and the golden silk birdcage?
Even if you eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, wear silk and satin, live in a gorgeous palace room, and serve a lot of palace maids beside you, it is estimated that there is not much happiness.
Zhu Youxiao doesn't care about other emperors, and he can't care about it. But your own women, you must make them happy. Although it will be very tiring, it is still far from the tired cow!
Besides, it's not a daily effort. It's just sleeping, and it's really not a lot when it's pure sleeping.
wanted to sleep and rest, Zhu Youxiao went to find the queen and Concubine Wang Liang. With pregnancy, he cares more than he does, just right.
If you want to relax, Zhu Youxiao went to Changchun Palace. The two little princesses have just passed the 100th day, and they are getting more and more cute. When you see them, you can get rid of any worries temporarily.
If you want to be surrounded by fiery enthusiasm, go to Concubine Duan Chun and sleep. Her stomach didn't move, and her usual demure was gradually replaced by urgency.
and Li Chengcheng, because his good friend Fan Xiaohui is here, he must pay more attention. And the sneaky feeling, Zhu Youxiao likes it the most.
In the morning, it is easy to be impulsive, and I heard that this is a normal physiological reaction, which can prove that a man is a sign of health.
Li Chengcheng was under the emperor's tart, his brows were furrowed, his head was constantly swinging from side to side, his eyes were blurred, but he still tried to maintain a trace of sobriety, and he bit the silk handkerchief tightly to minimize the moaning sound he made.
Zhu Youxiao likes this, Wen can be anbang, and Wu can kill seven in and seven out in the fat powder array.
Finally, the rain dissipated, and the two snuggled together softly. I got up early to change my clothes, and my clothes were gone.
"Emperor-" After a long time, Li Chengcheng stroked the emperor's chest with one hand, and whispered in the emperor's ear: "Don't be good in the morning in the future, sometimes there are people outside." ”
I don't know anyone yet?
"Fan Xiaohui, if you tell her it's over, aren't you two very good?" Zhu Youxiao smiled evilly and patted Li Chengcheng's face lightly, but did not say yes.
are not outsiders, you are Concubine Li Cheng, she is Concubine Fan Hui, all of them are my women, there is nothing to be embarrassed about.
In the future, let's have a dragon and two phoenixes. Aren't you two good friends, and I'm not partial, it's only fair that the rain and dew are evenly wet.
Li Chengcheng was also very helpless, she knew that if the emperor didn't agree, and he still looked so bad, then it would be the same as before. You say yours, he just won't change.
Although he likes the favor of the emperor, the status of a concubine can basically be determined in the future. But he was a little afraid of Fan Xiaohui, and then asked what punishment he had received and whether it was painful.
Zhu Youxiao rested for a moment before getting up and changing his clothes under Li Chengcheng's service. Inevitably, he stretched out his salty pig hand again, making the future Concubine Li Cheng blush and heartbeat.
After changing clothes and washing, Zhu Youxiao walked out seriously, with a dignified face and the majesty of the emperor, a well-dressed beast.
Li Chengcheng's acting skills are much worse, he was already weak-hearted, but when he saw Fan Xiaohui's doubtful gaze, he lowered his eyes and pretended not to see it.
Zhu Youxiao also wanted Li Chengcheng to rest, so he passed down the message, accompanied by Fan Xiaohui, to the Academy of Sciences, and Li Chengcheng stayed to take care of the cats.
The little milk cat has grown into a teenager, energetic, and plays non-stop inside and outside the temple. But they don't need to take care of it anymore, let Li Chengcheng stay, just let her rest.
I haven't been to the Academy of Sciences for a long time, and although Zhu Youxiao has been guiding through letters, the effect is always a little worse.
Soap and cement are now the main topics of the Academy of Sciences. These are all inventions that require a lot of chemical knowledge and repeated experiments.
By answering relevant questions, Zhu Youxiao has estimated that it will not take too long for the two inventions to come out successfully. Next is the issue of mass production, and it is an industry that can make a lot of money.
The fastest way to get out is naturally cement, the effect of road hardening, improve the speed of transportation, and promote the development of industry and commerce. Of course, there may also be three halls of reinforced concrete.
The simplest and easiest cement to make is, of course, Portland cement, originally made from limestone and clay calcined. Of course, the adhesive fired in this way is not called cement.
It wasn't until someone borrowed from the Romans who added volcanic ash to lime to increase the cohesion of lime, and ground pottery, bricks and tiles into fine powder, or used cinder and slag to replace the unobtainable volcanic ash, that the name "cement" came to be born.
In fact, the manufacture of cement does not surpass the current scientific and technological level of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Youxiao has already proposed the method and the raw materials used, as long as repeated experiments are carried out to find the ratio between various raw materials such as lime, clay, slag, etc., as well as the method of producing this mixture, it will be considered complete.
As for the performance, of course, it cannot meet the standards of later generations, but the cost is not high, and it can be widely used to improve the architectural level of the entire Ming Dynasty.
Where can I afford to use glutinous rice juice as one of the raw materials to make a sticking agent? After a few years, it will be difficult to even eat, and Zhu Youxiao will not dare to waste it so much.
However, it is certain that we should build infrastructure on a large scale, especially the construction of roads and the hardening of road surfaces, and the use of traditional three-way soil or rammed earth to build roads, which obviously does not meet Zhu Youxiao's standards.
Soap, even soap, is used for export to earn foreign exchange. Foreigners like to play with fresh things, and some of them engage in colonial plunder, and some of them are silver, which is taken out of their pockets and used for the Ming Dynasty, which is justified.
Secretly out of the palace, Zhu Youxiao sat in a modified "insurance car" lined with iron plates on the outside and more comfortable inside.
Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case. Zhu Youxiao is very sorry for his life. The revolution has not yet succeeded, and his efforts are to live a long time and not be harmed.
Fan Xiaohui was going out with the emperor for the first time, it was very novel, she wanted to lift the curtain to look out, but she didn't dare.
"Do you remember everything?" Zhu Youxiao told again: "When you arrive at the Academy of Sciences, if you want to call me Shen Gongzi, or call me Gongzi, don't call it wrong." ”
"The slave remembers." Fan Xiaohui hurriedly nodded, "When the emperor arrives at the Academy of Sciences, he is Shen Lang Shen Gongzi, and the slave maid is a maid, and she is also called Xiaohui." ”
Zhu Youxiao bowed slightly, and said with a serious face: "If the call is wrong, I will be punished heavily." ”
After a pause, the emperor stared at Fan Xiaohui and added, "Hmph, it's like punishing Li Chengcheng." ”
Fan Xiaohui lowered her eyes, bowed slightly and said, "The slave can save it." ”
"Do you know how I punished Li Chengcheng?" Zhu Youxiao's tone was still very stern, "Did Li Chengcheng tell you?" ”
Fan Xiaohui hurriedly shook her head and said, "She didn't tell the slave maid, but the slave maid knows that she is powerful and will never make a mistake." ”
If you don't make mistakes, how can I punish you?
Zhu Youxiao blinked his eyes and said in a deep voice: "You don't know how to punish, how can you know that it is powerful?" When I have punished you, you will remember to be reliable and will not make mistakes again. ”
Fan Xiaohui opened her mouth, but she still didn't say anything, and hung her head.
It's not a word that the emperor wants to punish, whether you make a mistake or not. It's just that I don't know how powerful this punishment is, which makes Li Chengcheng's demeanor so weird, and he doesn't dare to look at her squarely.
After I have punished you, you don't have to guess and ask indiscriminately, which will embarrass Li Chengcheng. The eldest brother and the second brother are the same, no one should laugh at anyone.
Zhu Youxiao looked at the girl with her head down, pursed the corners of her mouth slightly, and a wicked smile appeared again.
The two girls stared at each other with big eyes, and then they were both red-faced, and no one was embarrassed to say it, and it was funny to think about it.
"Emperor-" Wang Tiqian reminded softly outside the car, "The Academy of Sciences is almost here." ”
Zhu Youxiao turned his mind around, thinking about what it would be like to meet Xu Fuyuan, Zhang Yitai and others for so long?
Don't make any "why did you come" this kind of talk, I don't mean cross talk.
