[No one opposes the crusade against the southwest, but who is in charge, this has become another problem. 】

[The elite of the military generals and horsemen are all buried in the civil fort, and they have not been able to catch their breath so far, and now the imperial court is strong and weak, and you can't find a general who can come forward. Wuxun has two pillars, one is the British Gong Zhang, and the other is the Dingguo Gong Xu, and the British Gong has no need to think about it, and this line has a very good relationship with King Qi. So, you can only set your sights on the Dingguo Gong line. 】

[On the twenty-third day of June of the tenth year of Jiajing, you ordered Xu Yande, the prince of the country, to hang the seal of General Pingnan as the commander, lead an army of 300,000, and go south to defeat the king of Qi. He ordered Mu Shaoxun, the Duke of Qianguo in Yunnan, to send troops from the East Road, join forces with Xu Yande, the Duke of Dingguo, and merge to defeat King Qi. 】

[You stand on the wall of the capital city, looking to the south, you believe that you will not lose. 】

[Before this battle, you scattered the eagle dogs to go deep into the southwest to investigate the enemy's situation, the southwest prince Zhu Houxuan inherited, the new king ascended the throne, the military heart was uncertain, and now the Qi Wangfu is the weakest moment in decades. And it is this year, the tenth year of Jiajing, you have to announce to the world that since the Ming Dynasty, there will be no Qi Wangfu that has torn the soil for the country! 】

Zhu Di: "I'm Nima!"

This battle, whether it is won by the imperial army or by the southwest army, is something that Zhu Di does not want to see.

If the imperial army wins, the Ming Dynasty will lose the barrier to defend the southwest, and will inevitably be troubled by the invasion of foreign races in the south in the future, and the imperial court will continue to throw money into the southern region of the treasury.

The Jiajing dynasty may not have realized this problem, because for so many years, there has always been the Qi Wangfu in the Subian Imperial Base, and there is no need for the court to worry about it at all.

But Zhu Di understood that because of the Yongle Dynasty, there was no King Qi who commanded 100,000 southwest troops to guard the border, and now King Qi is still in Jinling City to supervise the country.

The Ming Dynasty needs to invest a huge amount of military spending in the Annan region every year, and those bastards and aliens will admit it if they can't beat it, and when the Ming army is gone, they will continue to be arrogant and arrogant and jump out to harass, and the cycle repeats itself, like a fish bone in the throat of the Ming Dynasty.

This is still because of the prosperity of Yongle and the strong national strength of the Ming Dynasty, which is not so prominent.

But the day when Da Ming will be weakened, at that time, what should Da Ming do?

But if the Southwest Army won the imperial army, it would make Zhu Di's heart even more congested.

What's next?

King Qi led the Southwest Army, sent troops from Annam, conquered Jinling City, first stabilized the seven provinces south of the Yangtze River, and then continued to go north and usurp the throne?

Although there is only one example of achieving great unification from the south to the north throughout the ages, it is not for nothing, and this person is ...... Emperor Taizu Gao, Zhu Yuanzhang!

It's not too much for future generations to learn from their ancestors, right?

If King Qi didn't replicate the achievements of his ancestors, it would be even more terrifying.

Because if that's the case, the situation will be ...... King Qi ascended the throne as the emperor in Jinling City, and the emperor of Shuntianfu was Jiajing, one country and two emperors, and the Ming Dynasty was divided and ruled!

This is the situation that Zhu Di doesn't want to see the most!

[After the army sent troops, the Qi Wangfu guarding the southwest seemed to be sitting firmly on Mount Tai without the slightest response. 】

[In July, the imperial army occupied the Aizijiang River and captured more than ten soldiers of the southwest army, and on the twenty-fourth, the imperial army and the southwest army occupied a small-scale battle, and the two sides invested thousands of troops, and the imperial army won a great victory in this battle, and the southwest army retreated more than ten miles. In September, the imperial army went all out to attack the eastern capital of Annan, a great victory, after this battle, the Ming army has recovered the northern part of Annan, and it is close to victory, and only needs to capture the Qiwang Mansion in the western capital of Annan, and the imperial army can return to the court. 】

[The imperial court was jubilant, they didn't expect that the prestigious Qi Wangfu was so vulnerable, and the offensive of the imperial court army was retreating one after another. Some people say that hundreds of years have passed, and there is no longer the style of King Qi Wu in the southwest, and the current Qi Wangfu is a mess. 】

[And you don't agree with this sentence, as the imperial army advances, you feel more and more uneasy. 】

[Today's King Qi is the great-great-grandson of Zhu Houxuan, the fifth King of Qi, and Zhu Gaoxian, King of Qiwu. You still remember that when he was in the tenth year of Zhengde, Zhu Houxuan, who was still the son of King Qi, led 8,000 southwest troops to quell the coastal troubles that troubled the imperial court with a snap of his fingers

Famous man! 】

[You secretly believe in Xu Yande, the commander of the imperial court army, Dingguo Gong: "I have heard that there are people in the army who say that the southwest is easy to take, be careful not to believe it, you will lose if you believe it, you don't see the former Qi Guogong Qiu Fu 100,000 troops buried in Mobei. The lion fights the rabbit and should also do his best, Qi Shi is not a rabbit but a tiger, and he should be more cautious, so that he can win a hundred battles. King Gayin Qi is cunning, and this expedition to the southwest is thousands of miles away, how can he be careless? The monarch is the commander-in-chief, if you are cautious, you will win, and if you are not careful, you will lose, so it is advisable to clean up the team, observe the movements of the soldiers, and plan widely to win a complete victory." 】

[You want to use this to remind Xu Yande that you must not underestimate King Qi, and you should be cautious in using troops. 】

[Xu Yande listened to your words and began to slow down the march, act carefully, and advance the army step by step. It was not until November that the army marched to a few dozen miles north of the Western Capital Qi Wangfu, and Xu Yande laughed and said, "This is a victory!" 】

[And you also put your mind at ease, thinking about whether you have any military talent, even the powerful Qi Wangfu was beaten to the doorstep so easily. 】

Zhu Di, who has been on the battlefield for a long time and has experience as a top general, has a solemn face: "There is a problem."

This scene is very similar to the strategy used by Ma Hamu when Zhu Di was in the north to conquer Wara!

Give somebody a dose of his own medicine!

Zhu Di's intuition told him that the front of the imperial army was not the helpless Qi Wangfu, but a trap that had already been ambushed!

"What's the problem?"

Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhu Di suspiciously.

"It's fine." Zhu Di waved his hand, "I'm complimenting you on how well you combed your hair today."

Yao Guangxiao touched his shiny bald head and fell into deep thought.

You're deliberately finding fault with your horse, right?

Zhu Di didn't have the heart to chat with the old monk, he was watching the plot simulation intently.

[At the end of November, you who were studying the art of immortality in the Qianqing Palace suddenly received a message - the imperial army was wiped out in the Battle of the Western Capital! 】

[You were stunned for a long time, and you couldn't believe the facts: Obviously, the imperial court army had the upper hand, why would the entire army suddenly be wiped out! ] 】

[You are furious and ask what is going on, whether someone is lying about the military situation!] 】

[They tell you that Mu Shaoxun, the Duke of Qianguo, suddenly led his army to mutiniate from the rear, and the Southwest Army and the Western Capital came out, attacking from both sides, and the fire dragon was criss-crossed. 】

[You're a little confused, Fire Dragon, what is it?] 】

[They tell you that at the beginning of the war, there was a soaring flame burning in the camp of the imperial army, the sound was like thunder, and the southwest army held a kind of fire gun with a burst of fire, and killed into the camp of the court army. 】

[Although you don't understand what that cone-shaped copper pill is, but you now understand what a fire dragon is, isn't this the artillery of the Shenji Battalion!] It's just that why the iron ball fired by the artillery of the Southwestern Army...... Will it explode? 】

[No one knows what these strange weapons of the Southwest Army are, only that they easily took the handsome camp of the imperial army and captured Xu Yande, the prince of Dingguo, and 300,000 imperial troops. The handsome camp was served by Lian Pot, and the 300,000 imperial army was leaderless, and all of them surrendered and were captured. 】

[You don't believe it, the Duke of Qianguo has been conscientiously guarding the southwest border for the country for generations, and he is loyal to the imperial court. And the Qianguo Mansion has been guarding Yunnan for generations, which is also a restriction on the Southwest Qi Palace, how can it be possible to rebel and surrender to Qi! 】

[And the cabinet tells you that this matter is completely possible! ] 】

[It is not the world that is loyal to the Qianguo Gong, but the Zhu family. At the beginning, the imperial court did use the Qianguo Mansion to balance the Qi Wangfu, but they seemed to forget that the Qianguo Mansion and the Qi Wangfu had been adjacent for a hundred years, guarding the southwest side by side, and had already subtly formed an ally, and they trusted their old neighbor King Qi more than the Jiajing Emperor who had never met. 】

[You suddenly realize that perhaps from a hundred years ago, the Qianguo Mansion has become an ally with the Qi Wangfu! 】

[After the Tumubao Change, Zhu Gaoxian, King of Qiwu, led the Southwest Army to go out of Gongwei Beijing and expedition to Mobei. And when Zhu Gaoxian, the king of Qiwu, left the southwest, the heavy responsibility of guarding the border was handed over to Mu Bin, the second generation of Qianguo Gong, what a trust! 】

[Just.]

Because of the chaos at that time, few people noticed this incident, and after the country was peaceful, Zhu Gaoxian, the king of Qiwu, was like the sun and the sky was shining, and the matter was vaguely inconspicuous. 】

[After decades, this hidden relationship that sank under the water has only surfaced, but it is too late to regret it at this time! 】

[I was unwilling to crusade against the imperial army in the southwest, thinking that this was a battle that should not be fought, and after being defeated, most of them chose to surrender to the Qi Wangfu, which had hundreds of thousands of troops, to attack and defend the aliens! 】

Zhu Di calculated that the imperial army might lose, but he didn't expect to lose so badly!

In just the blink of an eye, the 300,000 troops of the imperial court were all wiped out!

What's worse is that the Southwest Army seems to have no intention of killing, but is focused on absorbing these troops. The defeated imperial army has no dislike for the Qi Wangfu, which is also a royal family, and the big guys have grown up listening to the story of King Qi Wu's efforts to save the sky, and they are unwilling to attack the southwest, but now they are simply ...... after being defeated Dropped?

Where is this to crusade against the southwest, this is obviously to send warmth to King Qi!

The Southwest Army, which was not full of troops, had no suspense in this battle after receiving hundreds of thousands of troops sent by Emperor Jiajing.

Emperor Jiajing made Zhu Di amazed in terms of playing with power and scheming, and he monopolized power in the clouds and rain, and obeyed the ministers and ministers. But militarily...... Don't mention it.

Mixing power tactics with military operations is the biggest mistake of Emperor Jiajing!

In addition, Zhu Di also keenly noticed one thing - weapons.

Weapons of the Southwest Army!
