776 Learning the Lessons of Xu Da's Northern Expedition The emperor conservatively refused to divide his troops

Zhu Qiyu hurriedly opened the map and took a look, the map around the Beijing Division was relatively accurate.

Zhu Qiyu has not been idle in these years, urging the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Engineering to redraw the map around the Beijing Division according to his own requirements.

Answer: Haizi, about 250 miles north of Kaiping City.

Agabarzi is really a bit tricky, and it is really a bit difficult to deal with 30,000 cavalry here.

You send a few thousand people over, and the cavalry will directly annihilate you. You send an army of 100,000 people up, and they will run away as soon as they smoke.

Guerrilla warfare, ah, yes.

Zhu Qiyu pretended to be heroic and angry: "Xue'er, go and bring the notes I made a few days ago." ”

"Which note?"

"It's about the record of our Zhongshan King Xu Da's second Northern Expedition and being beaten hard."

Hearing this, Qianxue realized that she glanced at her husband thoughtfully, and then went over to the bookshelf to find the notes.

Zhu Qiyu took the note and didn't care about the eyes of the women. Anyway, I'm thick-skinned, and through Xu Da's experience of being flattened, I can reduce psychological pressure for myself.

Even the first hero of the Ming Dynasty, Taifu, the right prime minister of Zhongshu Province, the Duke of Wei, and the general of the conquest were all deflated, and it was normal for me to lose.

Lin Xiangyu asked in Zhu Qiyu's arms: "I heard that in the Second Northern Expedition, the Ming army was defeated very badly?" ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Well, there is Wang Baobao on the opposite side who is called a strange man by our Taizu." Moreover, at that time, the Ming Dynasty was divided into three routes, Xu Da in the middle road was personally led, Li Wenzhong in the east road, and Feng Sheng in the west road.

The targets of the middle and east roads are both the capital of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Hara and Lin.

I thought about it well in advance, and went straight to Hala and Lin in the middle lane, assisted by the east road, and doubted soldiers on the west road.

Once the Yuan army blocked the middle route army, the eastern route army cut off its rear road and attacked from both sides.

But when the army really went out, the three roads lacked cooperation and went their own way.

Wang Baobao was defeated many times and used a trick to lure the enemy deeper. Xu Da may have floated, but he was really alone and was hit hard by Wang Baobao.

After that, the partial general Tang He was defeated by the Yuan army. The Central Route Army lost tens of thousands of dollars in total.

Therefore, the arrogant army will be defeated. As long as they float, anyone can lose the battle. ”

Lin Xiangyu asked again: "What about the husband, is this battle assured?" ”

Zhu Qiyu shook his head very honestly: "No, if you go to fight on the grassland, even Wei Qing and Xu Da are not sure that they will win."

In this kind of movement warfare, anything can happen.

It's not like fighting Japan, it's all mountains. Ashikaga Yoshimasa refused to drill into the mountains, and our Ming army refused to drill into the mountains. Just tossing back and forth in those two small plains, the battle was much easier.

But the boundless plains of Mongolia are completely different, and Taizu and Taizong have been fighting for many years, and they are still like this. ”

After complaining, Zhu Qiyu pulled out a large shrimp from the hot pot and put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

After eating, Zhu Qiyu continued to chatter: "So I deliberately left a hole in Ningxia, wanting to lure the main Mongolian force south and rush into the Hetao."

Then I mobilized more than 100,000 heavy troops in Dongsheng, pretending to catch turtles in an urn.

Actually, I put aside the main Mongol force and went to the base camp of Agabarzi.

Now the question is whether Agabarzi values Hala and Lin more or Hulunbuir steppe.

Hala and Lin have been the capital since the time of Genghis Khan. The steppe north of Hala and Lin is rich in water and grass, and hundreds of rivers flow into Lake Baikal.

Both places are very important, but I will not divide the troops into three ways like Xu Da's second Northern Expedition, and let the enemy break through them one by one.

I only go all the way, and that's my strategy. ”

Unconsciously, Zhu Qiyu had already learned from Nurhachi. No matter how many roads you have, I will concentrate the main force and attack all the way.

The only thing that is uncertain now is that his main force is to learn from Xu Da's Northern Expedition and attack Hala and Lin; Or pioneered the seizure of Hulunbuir.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu instructed: "Write a letter to Wang Yue and ask him what he thinks." ”

After that, Zhu Qiyu ate again, and recently because he had to sow seeds in the princess's body frequently, he was a little weak, and he had to take a lot of supplements.

Qian Xue was stunned and waited there, and Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "Concubine Ai, write a letter now, and send it out immediately in a hurry of six hundred miles." ”

"No, the husband has already finished speaking? The concubine thought that you had something else to tell Wang Yue. ”

"Anything else?"

"Don't you mobilize the three guards of Duoyan to attack and disturb the 30,000 Mongolian cavalry stationed in Da'er Haizi?"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Forget it, I'm instigated." A'er Haizi was originally Mongolia's territory, and the 30,000 Mongolian cavalry did whatever they liked.

Before figuring out the true level of Agabarzi, try to do as little as possible and see more.

Whether Agabarji is Wang Baobao or Wang Baobao, I have to observe and observe to determine.

The government and the opposition are looking at it, I don't want to follow in Xu Da's footsteps.

The capture of Japan, Korea, Annam, Burma and other places was not very difficult for both the government and the opposition.

But if you can capture Hala and Lin, and then completely occupy him, then it will be more convincing.

Although Taizu and Taizong were able to fight, they did not occupy the capital of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

It was easy to occupy the capital of Yuanshang, set up Kaiping Guard, and let our Emperor of the Wise Shenwu Xuanmiao abandon it.

Kaipingwei is gone, Dongshengwei is gone, and the court is like a blind and deaf man.

He also led the army into Shanxi first, setting up ambushes everywhere, and the Ming army was stunned and crashed into the encirclement, and it was distressing to think about it. ”

Qianxue prepared the pen and ink, and then asked, "Do you want to write by hand, husband?" ”

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "You write, Wang Yue should be my protΓ©gΓ©, the little master wrote to him, and it was too late for him to be happy." ”

On the ninth day of February, early in the morning.

Kaiping City.

Wang Yue had just finished breakfast and sat there worried. The soldiers came to report, and the Mongol Khan Mandulu, who had just been canonized by the imperial court, arrived with thousands of people.

Wang Yue had already received news that the imperial court had supported another Mongol Great Khan. Originally, the Great Khan would fall on the head of Ma Erghis, and the young master was easy to control, but it was quite surprising that he suddenly killed a half-brother who couldn't get rid of it.

Now the Mongol Great Khan elected by the Kuritai Congress is the younger brother of Tokhtar Buhua, and the Great Khan supported by the imperial court is also the younger brother of Tokhtobuhua.

Wang Yue greeted him in person and only chatted with Mandu Luluo. Mandulu did not stay long, but took up Ma'er Gurgis and the young grandson of Ara, and led his army to continue north.

Since there were already Mongol cavalry garrisons in the north of Da'er Haizi, Mandulu led his army westward, first to Daning, then through the Duoyan Sanwei Defense Zone, and then turned north, towards the direction of the Xing'an Mountains.

Seeing off Mandulu and his entourage, Wang Yue said to himself thoughtfully: "Mandulu is here, and it is okay to recruit the old department without spending money, but even the Haixi Jurchens and savage Jurchens have to be recruited, and they are not afraid of raising tigers." ”

Before the king could think about it, another soldier sent the emperor's secret letter.

Wang Yue retreated from everyone, opened the secret letter, and a very delicate and neat official letter came into view. As for the content, it is concise, just ask about the idea of attacking Mongolia.
