When the news came that Geldan was leading his troops to the east, Gao Yiming immediately discussed countermeasures with Qin Liangyu and others.

Shi Kefa said: "I didn't say it, we should send troops to help."

"Assist whom?"

"Of course it's Geerdan, Your Majesty."

"No, none of us will help."

"And what should we do if Gerdan asks us to send troops to help?"

"This is easy to do, if Geldan asks us to send troops, we will let Zhang Tongyi take advantage of the situation to lead the troops north into the Khalkha steppe, as for the grassland, it depends on the situation of the battle between Geerdan and the Qing army."

"Please also ask the emperor to make it clear!"

"If the Qing army wins, let Li Dingguo, Gao Jie, and Huang Degong send troops to attack the Qing army in three ways, so that the Qing army will not destroy the Geldan family; Of course, if Geerdan wins, then we will also have to send troops, so let Zhang Tongyi secretly cut off Geerdan's connection with the west and force him to return to the west, so that we can take the opportunity to restore the territory of Nuer Gandusi. ”

"You mean that no matter who wins or loses, we're going to send troops?" Shi Kefa didn't understand very much, hasn't the emperor been playing a balanced strategy, why did he suddenly change it.

The reason why Gao Yiming changed his strategy was because he shifted his vision from the land to the sea, since the Dutch were not invincible, then the protagonist of the Age of Discovery, the Ming Dynasty should also be one, and in order to compete for maritime supremacy, things on land must be solved quickly, because Britain at this time is also undergoing the industrial revolution, and in another twenty or thirty years, Britain will rise, and the Ming Dynasty cannot lag behind.

If you want to focus on development, it is important to have a stable internal and external environment. In the final analysis, after several years of development, the strength of the Ming army has risen, and Gao Yiming has the confidence.

"Yes, no matter who wins, it will be our target of attack, of course, before Geerdan and the Qing army have not divided the victory or defeat, we cannot reveal our intentions, so as not to attract the two of them to join forces to attack us, so as long as Geerdan comes to ask us to send troops, we will send troops, once Geldan is defeated, Li Dingguo must send troops to Shengjing, the Qing army's old nest, Gao Jie and Huang Degong send troops to meet the Qing army, and Zhang Tongyi is responsible for expelling the remnants of Geerdan's army to the west."

"What if Goldan doesn't want to go west?"

Gao Yiming said lightly: "Extinguish!"

"We're allies." Zu Dashou said.

Gao Yiming glanced at Zu Dashou: "Allies will also be enemies, especially powerful allies, it is expedient to form an alliance when our strength does not allow it, we are now in strength, and the old account is also settled, of course, this kind of game can only be played now when we have the strength, I will not agree to let me do this in the early years." Now that our strength has come up, then we are not allowed to have disobedient neighbors around us, otherwise sooner or later he will have to give you a blow, understand? ”

"Obey your orders!" Although Shi Kefa and others agree with Gao Yiming's point of view, they all sweat for his black belly, there is an emperor with a black belly, and it is not easy to be a courtier, so he can only be loyal. Looking through history, there is no Ming Jun who is not black.

In September, it is the season when the grass grows and the eagle flies on the grassland, which is the most ideal war season for the grassland people.

"Great Khan, my 600,000 army has been assembled, and the 650,000 horses of the Qing army are also led by Dai Shan, Qi Erharang, Sony, Ao Bai and others, and they are coming towards us." Jae-sang reported to Geldan who was standing on the platform.

"Is there any movement in the Ming army?"

"Back to the Great Khan, after receiving our request to send troops, the Ming Dynasty has ordered Zhang Tongyi to lead 100,000 cavalry to come, and now we are still far away."

"What about Huang Degong, Gao Jie, Wu Sangui and Li Dingguo in Wanquan?"

"No movement yet."

"This is strange, how could the Ming Dynasty be willing to seek the near and far."

"Are they trying to reap the benefits?"

"Sitting on the reaps? Who's to receive, ours? Ha ha! You think too much of the courage of the Ming Dynasty. Gerdan laughed, thinking that Zaisang's words were a joke, and even Zaisan himself thought it was impossible.

Don't you know that Huang Degong, Gao Jie, Li Dingguo and others have all received Gao Yiming's order to send troops, and as for the timing of the troops, let them agree on their own.

A few people who received the order went to Wu Sangui in the capital to discuss, and a few people had a further understanding of the emperor's belly, but with the strength of the Ming army, but they were not afraid, and the people who were at the border all the year round would understand that there were no immutable allies in front of interests, and some were just the mercy of the strong to the weak, and the Ming army would definitely not accept this mercy, so they could only make themselves strong.

"Judging from the emperor's secret order, it is inevitable to send troops, but when to send troops is a problem."

"This is also easy to do, isn't Zhang Tongyi already sending troops at the request of Geerdan, we will send a scout horse to investigate the situation on the one hand, and contact Zhang Tongyi on the other hand, so as to accurately grasp the timing of sending troops."

"This time, the Qing army and Geldan are both pressed on their old roots, and they should not stop if they don't decide the winner."

"It's not good to say, if the heavens are not beautiful, I'm afraid that the decisive battle will be delayed until next year, and once it is delayed until next year, the variables will be big, so for the sake of the imperial court, we have to think of a decisive battle before the heavy snow is blocked."

"Oh? I don't know what General Wu's clever plan is. ”

"The key to this depends on Zhang Tongyi."

"Zhang Tongyi? His dispatch of troops was just a suspicious plan arranged by the emperor, what could he do? ”

"If he can add fire to the confrontation between the two armies, I think, it will work wonders."

Looking at Wu Sangui's inexplicable expression, the other three secretly said in their hearts: "This is also a black belly."
