Chapter 39: Dimensionality Reduction Strike
The drama of Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaochi's two brothers was staged, but it was less intense than that of Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunwen back then.
After all, Zhu Gaochi is already the crown prince.
Wenchen and military generals show their magical powers, you have me, I have you.
Among the generals, Zhang Fu and Guo Ming are die-hard supporters of Zhu Gaochi, after all, they are the prince's father-in-law.
Among the ministers, there are also many who are under the command of King Han, and the magic of golden beans is still very strong, not everyone is like Li Qing, who takes money and does not do anything.
Moreover, Zhu Di's love for the second child is too obvious, which makes some of the wall-riding factions in Wenchen see an opportunity.
From the dragon's work, everyone wants to stand.
But most of the ministers still support the boss.
The two sides are constantly fighting, but they have always been controlled in a controllable range, and they are all fighting in the rules formulated by Zhu Di.
After all, the genius of the Ming Dynasty, the chief editor of the Yongle Canon, is still in prison.
No one wants to follow in their footsteps.
The brothers, or rather, the supporters of the brothers fought openly and secretly, and Zhu Di profited, while transferring troops to prepare for war, while supervising the construction of the canal and the construction of Kyoto.
Everyone is busy with their own work, and no one can take care of anyone.
Li Qing, a celebrity in front of the emperor, is naturally the object of competition between the two sides, and the two parties often come to the Hou Mansion as guests.
He doesn't refuse to come, he accepts gifts when he gives them, he just doesn't do anything, and he doesn't even have a promise.
After a long time, no one came.
……
Yongle eight years, spring.
Zhu Di gathered the elite of the three battalions and prepared to begin the conquest of the Tatars.
At the same time, the affairs of the state were handed over to the crown prince.
Chubby officially began to supervise the country!
"Gao Chi, as the crown prince and the future prince of the Ming Dynasty, you must not slack off." Zhu Di said solemnly, "You must have your own opinions in political affairs, don't just listen to the trumpets of Wenchen, think twice before acting, and look at the essence of problems." ”
"Son, remember." Chubby said yes.
Zhu Di pondered for a moment and asked: "After I leave Beijing, there must be people who intercede for Xie Jin, if that's the case, will you let him go?" ”
"Xie Jin is not a big crime, and the compilation of the canon is meritorious, why should my father ......"
"Lao Tzu knows!" Zhu Di was furious, "Your way is too shallow, the problem is not Xie Jin at all, but if you do this, Wenchen will see your weakness, remember, this person can't be released." ”
"Erchen remembered." Xiaopang sighed, "Father, the world needs great governance, and it is not a way to keep pressing it like this." ”
Zhu Di said lightly: "If you think so, one day it will be planted on them, the world needs Wenchen, but it doesn't mean that Wenchen can rise;
You can let the horses run, but you can't let the horses graze! ”
Chubby: "......"
Zhu Di saw that he didn't think so, and snorted: "They eat grass today, and tomorrow they want to eat meat, in short, Wenchen wants to use it, but it has to be suppressed." ”
"Erchen...... I see. ”
"Well, you go get busy." Zhu Di waved his hand, waited for his eldest son to retreat, and then raised his voice, "Come on, King Xuanhan has come to see you." ”
Half an hour later, Zhu Gaoxu hurried in, "Long live the son's visit to my father." ”
"Get up." Zhu Di smiled, "Sit down, my father has something to explain to you." ”
"Is it an expedition?" Zhu Gaoxu's eyes lit up, "Father, my sons are willing to join you in the campaign against Tatar." ”
"No, you have to stay." Zhu Di shook his head, "If you don't stay in Jingshi, my father is not at ease, and my father only trusts you." ”
Zhu Gaoxu's expression darkened at first, and then he was overjoyed, and his eyes were red with emotion, "Father, the emperor ......"
After collecting his emotions, Zhu Gaoxu said: "What does my father want me to do?" ”
"Show me the boss!"
If you say that whoever has the most opinions about the boss, it must be the second one.
Zhu Di arranged it like this, in addition to preventing Wenchen from taking the opportunity to become bigger during his personal expedition, there was another layer of worry.
- Afraid of the boss usurping power!
Although this possibility is very small, he is still not at ease because of his suspicious nature.
He snatched the throne, and he was afraid that his son would do the same.
Moreover, as long as the eldest child has this heart, Wenchen will definitely support it.
Zhu Di himself knew that Wenchen hated him in his heart, so he had to guard against it.
"Father, rest assured, his son must watch him closely, and any disturbances will be recorded truthfully." Zhu Gaoxu said seriously.
"Okay, with you, my father will be relieved." Zhu Di smiled with satisfaction.
Then, Barabala drew a cake again.
When the second child left the Qianqing Palace, he was full of smirks.
……
Five days later, the army set out.
Although Li Qing was unwilling, he was still forced to become a prisoner.
This time, a total of 180,000 troops were sent to fight, and if you count the supply troops, there are more than 500,000.
The supply line is very perfect, just the temporary granary in the early stage, the donkeys and carts in the back, and the marching speed of the army is super fast, which is simply described as terrifying.
In less than fifty days, the army arrived at the predetermined battlefield.
The speed caught the Tatars off guard, especially the supply soldiers, hundreds of thousands of troops went to the steppe to stop, and without fighting, the Tatars' fighting spirit was gone.
The Tartars were terrified, and Mu Zhuoer's ambitions were shattered, and he knew the outcome with his toes.
"Withdraw~!"
Mu Zhuoer did not hesitate and immediately ordered the move.
Can't fight, can't fight at all.
The Yuan people's home is a tent, and it stands to reason that they only need to put away the tent and run away, but this is not the case.
Because, they have to bring what they need to survive.
- Cattle and sheep!
~
Zhu Di received the news that the Tatars were going to run away, and without saying a word, he led his troops to chase after him.
He didn't have any worries, the supply line was quite complete, and there were too many soldiers in charge of supply, so he didn't have to worry about being robbed.
Moreover, inspired by Li Qing, he also installed wheels on the cannon, and the one that chased was called a fast.
Zhu Di is different from Lan Yu, he is the emperor, and the emperor is personally recruited, and his encouragement to morale is incomparable.
The soldiers are all using their lives, and there are too many soldiers going out to fight, as the so-called people are so brave, they are not afraid at all, they are chasing after them!
Li Qing has also supervised the army several times, but this is the first time he has encountered such a rich battle.
It can be said that as long as Zhu Di doesn't use stupid moves, there is absolutely no possibility of defeat.
Zhu Di's style of playing in Dubai, even if the Tatar leader is the reincarnation of the soldiers, there is no possibility of winning.
The Ming army pursued fiercely all the way, and finally on the fifth day, they caught up with the fleeing Tatar army.
Mu Zhuo'er was stunned, and immediately ordered 50,000 elites to block the pace of the Ming army and buy time for the tribe to escape.
"Don't run away, next, it's my turn." Zhu Di smiled coldly, "The Shenji Battalion is moving forward, the three thousand battalions are attacking on the flank, and the five military battalions are advancing head-on......"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
"Click......
"Kill ......!"
The three battalions worked together to kill the Tatar army, and the Tatars had to play with the Ming army in order to buy time for the tribe.
But in this battle, whether it was numbers, morale, or combat power, the Ming army was completely crushed.
This time, unlike any previous Northern Expedition.
In this battle, Daming truly interprets what dimensionality reduction strikes are!
Zhu Di created a tactical innovation and brought the combat power of the Ming army to the extreme.
First of all, the artillery bombardment, the enemy formation was in chaos, then the cavalry charged, the enemy army rushed with meat and eight vegetables, and finally the front of the five army camps was tough.
After a set of combos, the Tatars had no power to parry at all.
The Ming army was too strong, and the strong Tatars even collapsed in their will to fight.
As a last resort, they had no choice but to flee.
The Tatars fled, and the Ming army pursued ......
If you catch up, you will be beaten!
In the end, the Tatars were forced to abandon a large number of cattle and sheep and die in the world.
The chase lasted for more than ten days before Zhu Di stopped, allowing people to count the results.
In this battle, a total of nearly 17,000 enemies were annihilated, and more than 8,000 cattle and sheep were harvested, while the Ming army was only a little more than 2,000 killed and more than 5,000 wounded.
But on the whole, the results were not great.
The Ming army's dispatch of troops this time cost a lot of money, and in comparison, these results were completely insufficient to make up for it.
However, the significance of this battle was extraordinary, and after this battle, the Tatars were completely frightened and terrified.
……
After the army rested for a few days, Zhu Di found a map and prepared to go to Huihui Warat again, wanting to subdue these two tribes at once.
But Warat was too fine, knowing that the Ming army might beat him, so he moved his nest early.
However, Wara did not dare to offend Zhu Di, so he sent someone to send 3,000 sheep and 5,000 horses to congratulate Zhu Di on his victory.
Ma Hamu is so knowledgeable, if he fights again, it will be equivalent to forcing him to resist the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Di happily accepted it, praised him verbally, and let him continue to keep it.
At the beginning of August, the army returned to see the Beijing Division.
From sending troops, to fighting, and finally squad, it took a total of five months, which is really fast.
In the second month after returning to Beijing, Uliangha came to pay tribute, and the tribute was very large.
Then, the Tatar Taishi Arutai came to Beijing to face the saint, expressing his willingness to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and the tribe was preparing tribute, and he would come to pay tribute in winter at the latest.
In Zhu Di's battle, all the Mongolian tribes were terrified.
They have a new understanding of Daming, and they are all terrified.
