In fact, Wang Chongzu did have the intention of going south in his heart.

"I will unify the northern lands, end the chaos, and protect the people, isn't it the Holy Monarch of the Ming Lord?" After he sat on the throne, he drifted a little, and said to his subordinates, and at the same time expressed his intention to take advantage of the situation to dominate the world:

"Why don't you take this opportunity to go south and west, and take the world in your arms?"

The ministers were very supportive, and the general Liu Zongmin even laughed and asked for his life: "Your Majesty, I am willing to raise 200,000 troops to conquer the south and sweep the west for Your Majesty and dominate the world." ”

The atmosphere was even more enthusiastic, and seeing this, Gu Junen couldn't help frowning.

"Your Majesty, although our army has won consecutive battles, it is still not to be underestimated." He said.

"Zhang Xianzhong's Western Army is not concerned for the time being, but the strict Chinese army is fierce, and the firearms are even sharper, and the Ming army has been defeated repeatedly. And now that the north is newly determined, it is not suitable to use swords. ”

"Didn't Prime Minister Zuo forget that when my army marched north, the Ming army was like ice and snow on fire, and it was easily eliminated invisibly? Wherever my army goes, there is no one to do! And what is there to be afraid of! "Some courtiers stood up and patted Liu Zongmin and Wang Chongzu's ass.

Seeing this, Gu Junen's brows became more and more furrowed.

In fact, he didn't think that the Dashun army must be weaker than the Chinese army, after all, the two sides have never fought directly, and everything can only be based on the Ming army.

In comparison, he admits that Dahua is an opponent, but he does not feel that they are stronger than Dashun.

But he knew that arrogance must not be long, and must be suppressed. So he still retorted loudly, but Liu Zongmin was not to be outdone and quarreled with him for a few words.

"Alright." Wang Chongzu sat on the throne and finally spoke. Looking at the scene below, a glimmer of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Liu Zongmin has become more and more arrogant in recent times because of his military exploits, and although Gu Junen looks very humble in plain life, his contribution is also very great, and he has a high reputation among the courtiers.

And what Gu Junen said also has some truth.

"All localities have just been pacified, and they also need to rectify and stabilize the people, although my Dashun is strong, but also not to underestimate the enemy, and temporarily stop the army."

It was a lot of work to send garrisons, reorganize local governments, and stabilize the people, and he decided not to do it for the time being.

After speaking, he didn't forget to say to Liu Zongmin:

What Jie Xuan said is also reasonable. Taking advantage of the great momentum of our army, it is also a good policy to send troops to dominate the world. I appointed you as the general of Zhennan, to train the troops of the frontier, build firearms, armor and other things, and prepare for the southern expedition. ”

"Those scholars and doctors in Jiangnan can also contact them and tell them that my Great Shun Heavenly Soldiers are coming to save them from fire and water."

"Yes."

Several people responded in unison.

……

After that earth-shattering event, the world was once again briefly restored to peace, even in the southwest.

Zhang Xianzhong put a large number of troops into the Huguang border, when he was a rogue in the past, he dropped a city not long ago, he directly abandoned it, and never hesitated. Now that he has a fixed territory and is officially called the emperor, he cherishes his territory very much.

At this time, some other rogues have also been officially included in his command. For example, Luo Rucai was made a marquis and went to the front line in Guizhou to confront Mu Tianyang, and the old enemy Zuo Liangyu first took refuge in Wang Chongzu after turning into a rogue, and then followed Luo Rucai and they threw themselves into Zhang Xianzhong's command, Zhang Xianzhong did not embarrass him, and also gave him a position as a government guard.

There are also some hole cards.

Zhang Xianzhong transferred the main force back from the south.

He waited for Wang Chongzu to go south.

At the same time, he prayed silently, hoping that Wang Chong's ancestors would fight the southeast, and it would be best to lose both.

He still hasn't given up his inner ambitions, even if his strength is a little different from the other two.

Although the Dahua court did not attach so much importance to Wang Chongzu when facing Zhang Xianzhong's envoys, in fact, they still regarded Wang Chongzu as an important opponent when formulating strategies.

The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, not to mention that Wang Chongzu is also a leopard with a certain threatening ability compared to the lion of the Dahua Imperial Court.

To counter them, Dahua's army has also recently strengthened its cavalry.

Because after leaving the Jiangnan Water Town, the role of cavalry will be greatly increased.

Running thousands of miles to cut off the grain route, following the army to harass and the like, are all commonly used tactics.

And Wang Chongzu of the Northland is also very good at this area, and his cavalry of tens of thousands of people, composed of elite soldiers from the old battalion, is extremely powerful, and can play an extraordinary role in that thousands of miles of wilderness.

It must be strengthened, Yan Ling has purchased a large number of horses from all over the world, especially some excellent horse breeds, and even more in large quantities, on the basis of one cavalry division of one army, two additional cavalry divisions have been formed, but the training time of cavalry is longer than that of infantry, and it is still not possible to go to the battlefield at this time.

Moreover, there are still too few garrisons on the border.

After some deliberation, Yan Ling decided to send the defenders of the central area to the border to strengthen the defenses.

"With the railway, our army has a natural advantage in military affairs. It can be said that in the southeast, our army is invincible. Yan Shishu said confidently.

Everyone bowed their heads, obviously agreeing with his words.

Although the army of the Hua Dynasty may be smaller than that of Dashun, the Chinese army can be called crushing in terms of both the elite level and the speed of transporting troops.

Over the past few years, the railways have been rolled out on a large scale, and they have achieved excellent results in transporting troops and materials, which has been tested in practice. The rapid support capability is simply not comparable to mules and horses, and it can be called an epoch-making invention. These people also often secretly lament the insightfulness of Shousuke-sama in private.

Even if the troops in the central area go to the border, if there is a problem behind them, they can use the railway to quickly turn around, and they are extremely mobile.

The Dahua Dynasty had less troops than Zhang Xianzhong and Wang Chongzu, but it had an unprecedentedly stable rule in the territory, and this railway has to be said to be an important link.

"Don't take it lightly." Yan Ling only gave an instruction, and then let the military department start formulating the battle plan.
