I heard Zhu Di say to Zhang Yifan: "You go to Liaodong with me, I'll teach you to fight!" ”

Zhang Yifan heard this, and said speechlessly: "There are so many famous generals who can fight in our Ming Dynasty, is there one missing me?" I don't want to! ”

Fighting a war is very hard, no matter what you are doing, if you suddenly have a military situation, you must respond!

Marching to fight, maybe marching overnight, marching in rain and snow, etc., this is all possible.

Wouldn't it be more fragrant to stay in the rear and farm!

It's not that all the famous generals are gone, and they have to go to the battlefield, so there's nothing to say.

When Zhu Di heard his answer, he was not surprised at all, so he said to him again: "Then, take a step back, you go to Juehua Island to sit in town, and I will lead the troops to the expedition when you turn back, and if you feel Huadao again, I can rest assured!" ”

When Zhang Yifan heard this, he still shook his head and said, "It's useless for me to stay on Juehua Island?" There's no place for me in that place! ”

"Maybe there will be?" Zhu Di listened, and still didn't give up, "You person, suddenly you may have a wonderful idea, maybe another one suddenly pops up, right?" ”

Speaking of this, he patted his chest and said: "As for the house in Beiping, don't worry, I will let your fourth sister-in-law watch it, and everyone will be dispatched from Yanwang's Mansion to ensure that the eldest sister can live comfortably when she comes." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yifan couldn't help laughing and said: "I can hear it, the dividends of the glass factory give you the confidence to say this!" ”

During the Chinese New Year last year, the annual report of the glass factory was sent to Beiping. It's only been more than half a year, and the dividends on Zhu Di's side have been more than 1,000, which is basically a return to the capital. And it is certain that the next profit will only be more, and it will be all earned.

At that time, several companies involved in the glass factory made money!

At this time, Zhu Di listened, immediately laughed, and then said to Zhang Yifan: "That's it." My father-in-law and the Marquis of Yongchang will come back in a few days, we will discuss it, and start to do it, come to a big one, let people see, we are not only the prestige of the competition! ”

Zhang Yifan thought about it, he did a few things in the north, basically all of them were past the early stage, and the rest was waiting for the flowers to bear fruit. Of course, there may be problems in this process, but I have already given the instruction manual in advance.

Originally, I wanted to go to the iron ore area over there in Jizhen. There is an iron ore here, and a corresponding iron-making plant, to see if there is anything that needs to be improved. But Zhu Di is so enthusiastic, so he will slowly forget it first, anyway, the steelmaking plant here in Beiping is already running.

Thinking so, he agreed to Zhu Di's request, and it was good to take a break after being busy for a while.

Two days later, Xu Da and Lan Yu rushed back.

Subsequently, Lan Yu first reported the latest situation outside the customs.

In the military machine hall, Lan Yu explained on the sand table: "Our territory in Liaodong is now only Liaoyang. The Tartars went to fight a few more times, but they didn't. But now that the wilderness is their world, the guards can only shrink into the city. ”

"In the Liaoxi Corridor, after the Tatar Tanma was expelled by me a while ago, as soon as I relaxed, I rebounded violently, and even went deep into the Liaoxi Corridor. However, His Royal Highness can rest assured that Juehua Island has long been hidden, and as long as they don't go to the island, they won't be able to find out. ”

"As far as the current situation is concerned, it is only natural for us to support Yibo Haizhou Wei and Liaoyang. In previous years, there was support as well. The rotation of the guards sergeant, the delivery of supplies, etc. ”

When Lan Yu said this, he pointed to the side of the Liaoxi Corridor and said: "The last general suggested that in order to attract the Tartars to attack the city, there should be enough bait, first send out the night not to collect, vigorously shield and march quickly, and let the Tartars probe the horses to find out when they are about to reach Haizhouwei......."

When he was explaining, Zhu Di, Xu Da and others all looked at the sand table and listened carefully.

“…… As long as our army creates a sign that it is ready to take Haizhou and Liaoyang as the base and further advance in Liaodong, the Tartars will certainly not tolerate this happening, and a heavy attack will be inevitable. And the best way to use is to cut off my grain road, and the best place is where Haizhou Wei is stockpiling grain and grass. In this way, you can hit the Tartar in Haizhouwei! ”

Xu Da nodded when he heard this, from the perspective of strategy and tactics, there is no problem with what Lan Yu said, and what he said can be deployed, which can be said to be the salvation of the enemy. If Naha doesn't fight Haizhouwei, his side can also turn fiction into reality, really strengthen Liaoyang's military strength, and further recover Shenyang, which is not far from Naha's foundation. Either he gave up Liaodong, or he had to take measures to contain the attack of the imperial court.

He was thinking about it, and suddenly, he saw Zhu Di with a hint of excitement, pointed to the sand table and asked: "If Haizhou Wei can attract heavy Tartar troops here, can we send a cavalry army out of the customs from here to surprise attack the Tartar lair?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yifan silently looked up at this sixth child, you are amazing!

Sure enough, when Xu Da heard this, he categorically vetoed: "No, it's too risky." What is a Tartar Heavy Army? Do you know how much army the Tartar Lair still has and how to deploy it? In addition, on the grassland, did you know if there were other Tartars migrating over? If the Tartars return with heavy reinforcements, will they be able to escape? Not to mention the dead soldiers, the wounded soldiers, in the face of the Tartar pursuit, may survive......"

When Zhu Di heard this, his face was a little unsightly, and that excitement had long since disappeared.

Xu Da looked at him and said solemnly: "Soldiers, the way of life and death, you must know yourself and your opponent, and try to increase the chance of victory, so that you can use soldiers well." Tricks are done occasionally, and if you rely on them, one day, you will inevitably suffer a big loss! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yifan suddenly remembered that Li Rusong, a famous general in Liaodong in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, led his iron cavalry to fight and fight, and seemed to be invincible.

As far as his impression is concerned, including Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da and others actually like to bully the small with the big and use absolute superiority to fight the enemy, otherwise they will try not to fight and accumulate strength.

This method should be the way of normal use of troops, and the way of a victorious division should have.

Sure enough, even Lan Yu, who has always been brave, didn't help Zhu Di speak this time.

Suddenly, Zhu Di glanced at Zhang Yifan.

When Zhang Yifan saw it, he showed an old-fashioned attitude, and said to Zhu Di: "Jin Yu good words, don't go in with one ear and go out with one ear!" ”

"You ......" Zhu Di suddenly became angry, but he couldn't attack again, because Zhang Yifan was not wrong!

When Zhang Yifan saw it, he grinned: "You asked me to come, and I am naturally duty-bound to be loyal to the contrary." ”

Zhu Di listened, and said silently in his heart: "And let you be proud!" ”

Xu Da watched this scene from the side, didn't know what he remembered, and nodded slightly.

Subsequently, after several of them finished discussing, they formally convened the military council.

On Lan Yu's side, he led 3,000 cavalry troops and 5,000 infantry troops to march from the side of the Liaoxi Corridor and escort the grain and grass to Liaodong.

Xu Da sits in Beiping and takes precautions to avoid being stolen by the Tartars.

And Zhang Yifan accompanied Zhu Di and led the firearms unit to Juehua Island.

Before leaving, Xu Da found Zhang Yifan privately and said to him: "King Yan is young after all, and sometimes he is impulsive. And although you are young but very steady, and King Yan listens to you, in order to avoid his impulsiveness, can you stay by his side? ”

Zhang Yifan: "......"

This old man is really thoughtful about his son-in-law! Do you believe it or not, I am also young and impulsive, and I will look back and show you the whole big one with Zhu Di's sixth child?

However, although he thought so, seeing that Xu Da had been looking at him with expectations, Zhang Yifan, who was helpless, could only nod and agree: "Don't worry, when I left Nanjing, my father also explained that I would watch him." ”

……………………

In early June of the 14th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, with Fu Youde as the commander and Mu Ying as the deputy commander, led an army of 200,000 and launched the Southwest War.

At the same time, on the northern side, the Ming side also sent nearly 60,000 horses and horses to start a local war.

For Zhu Yuanzhang, of course he knew about this small-scale war in the north. However, his attention, or main energy, was still on the war in the southwest.

He inquired about the logistics of 200,000 horses, the Tusi policy, and the strategy of the remnant Yuan, and even personally explained the specific strategy for attacking Yunnan. In general, how to fight, all give guidance.

At this time, no one cared about this skirmish in the north.

However, for Nahachu in Liaodong, it is definitely not a trivial matter. After receiving the urgent report from Tanma, he convened a military meeting to discuss the intentions of the Ming army.

As soon as the situation was reported, those low-level generals shouted one after another.

"What else is there to say, the last general thinks that he should immediately send troops, intercept the reinforcements of the Ming Kingdom, and annihilate them in the wilderness!"

"Yes, that's right, the field is our world. So much grain and grass baggage, just in time to belong to us! ”

"That Ming army general surnamed Lan, maybe it was the one who attacked Gray Mountain last year, and killed him to take revenge!"

“……”

However, Nahade noticed that most of his higher-ranking subordinates were silent.

So, he turned his head to look at a man next to him: "The whole country doesn't know what to do?" ”

This is the highest position and the most powerful of Naha's subordinates, and of course opinions are very important.

When the national public view boy heard this, he replied with a serious face: "You and I should both know that the Ming army fights, and does not fight uncertain battles, and Xu Da, who sits in the north, is even more cautious. Although it seems that there are less than 10,000 people, I can escort so much grain and grass, I don't think it's right! ”

Hearing this, someone disagreed, and stood up and corrected: "I heard that now in Dadu, Xu Da also wants to listen to a vassal king, who is only in his twenties, afraid that he will be a bird?" ”

When Guan Tong heard this, he immediately looked over and said sternly: "In this way, what happened to the army that entered the customs and wiped out?" What's going on with Ash Mountain? ”

Hearing this, for a while, no one spoke.

However, Naha Chu frowned and said: "Xu Da is indeed experienced in using soldiers, and there are also surprises. However, don't forget that Xu Da has also suffered defeats. There must be a conspiracy on the Liaodong side this time. ”

He can be regarded as a staunch recalcitrant rebel, but he knows that Guan Tong is actually afraid of the Ming army, and he is a little afraid of the Ming army.

Therefore, Nahachu then said solemnly: "If we don't take action and let the Ming army strengthen the Liaoyang defense line, from Liaoyang to Gaizhou and then to the Jinzhou line in the future, it will no longer be a place where we can cross and horizontally." If the Ming army advances further, takes Liaoyang as the foundation, and recaptures Shenyang, will it be possible that we will continue to retreat? ”

When Guan Tong heard this, he also frowned and said: "Even if we want to fight, when my army rushes away, this Ming army is estimated to be able to hide in Haizhou Wei, and it is not my forte to attack the city, so what can I do?" ”

Speaking of this, he didn't wait for Naha to speak, so he took the lead and continued: "I don't believe it, the Ming army will only send such a small number of troops to escort so much grain and grass, and there will definitely be a large number of Ming troops to follow up." I just don't understand, why is it important to put grain and grass in the front army? This is not in the art of war! ”

When Naha heard this, he immediately said, "What's so difficult about this? If the Ming army can hide in Haizhou Wei, then put more probe horses on guard, and the army will attack Haizhou Wei, as long as it can be taken, so much grain and grass baggage, there is no need to worry about this winter, and we can recruit Jurchens to serve us. In case the Ming army failed to hide in Haizhou Wei in time, it would be even better! ”

Speaking of this, after a pause, he also added: "Now the armies of Gaizhou, Jinzhou and other places in the Ming Kingdom can only protect themselves, as long as we prevent Daning, the Ming army will come, and we can retreat in time." ”

When Guan Tong heard this, he was silent, and did not object again, but he did not approve either.

Naha was very dissatisfied, but he couldn't help it. He is only a nominal official of Guantong, and in fact has no binding power.

In the end, there was no result in this military discussion.

After the meeting was dismissed, Naha went out to interview Guan Tong alone, and bitterly told him about the glorious history of the Great Yuan Empire, and reiterated the dangers of the Ming army's increased strength in Liaodong.

Perhaps it was also his words that played a role, Guan Tong told Naha the truth: "To say something that the prince doesn't like to hear, the glory of our Great Yuan Empire has passed, and now the strength of the Ming Kingdom is also a fact, Liaodong here, if it is just by your and my strength, in fact, I don't think that the Ming army can be driven out of Liaodong in the end." ”

When Naha heard this, he was a little annoyed, and his face was rather ugly.

As a result, Guan Tong was still there and said: "Don't say anything else, a few years ago, you led the troops to attack Jinzhouwei, and they were almost wiped out. It can be seen from this that although our troops seem to be large, the real combat strength, needless to say, the prince himself should be clear in his heart. ”

When Naha heard this, he was immediately annoyed, and asked loudly: "Then according to your meaning, we, the descendants of Genghis Khan, can only surrender to those untouchables?" ”

According to the classification of the Mongols, the southern Han people were the lowest and belonged to the absolute untouchables. And the Ming Dynasty established by Zhu Yuanzhang slapped them in the face! This makes it most difficult for Naha, a Mongol who has always glorified his ancestors, to accept.
