Chongzhen Chat Group

When King Tang saw it, he was a little anxious. For him, this matter weighed on the future of the Tang Palace and the savings of the Tang Palace for hundreds of years. If he failed, he would lose all his money. In other words, the imperial court can afford failure, but he cannot afford failure!

Seeing Min Hongxue take a sip and put the tea cup on the table, he couldn't help but said with a bit of anxiety again: "Mr. Min Ge, we have to guard against this!"

Min Hongxue listened and saw that he was very anxious. He understood his impatience and said with a smile: "Your Highness, some of those chieftains are colluding with Dong Wu. This is a sure thing..."

Hearing that he was so sure, King Tang was so impatient that he couldn't wait for him to finish what he said, so he couldn't help but interrupt, frowning, and said anxiously: "Then what should we do? What should we do?"

"Your Highness, there is no need to panic about this!" Min Hongxue had to comfort him and said, "The Emperor has a decree, and His Highness can only succeed in laying down Dongwu and enfeoffing it. No failure is allowed! Regarding this, Your Highness, feel free to rest assured. Got it!"

At this point, he saw that King Tang's face looked better, so he continued: "Whether it is the news from the emperor or the news from the agents we sent, now this Dongwu's Long The king is a figure, not so easy to deal with. Now he is trying to recuperate and consolidate his rule. Regarding this, the longer the time is delayed, the more favorable his rule will be! It is also because of this that the emperor will agree to His Highness's request. In the follow-up Before the training of the army is completed, you are allowed to lead the troops to go on an expedition!"

The soldiers of this army, as well as ordnance and supplies, etc., were all paid by the King of Tang. They belonged to the army that the King of Tang later founded in Dongwu. Therefore, the supreme commander of this army is the King of Tang. This is why the King of Tang can arm this army as much as possible and ration enough supplies. Therefore, the king of Tang had a great say in this army. It is precisely because he has a great say and it can prove that the emperor and the court are true to their word and really want to help him establish the country in Dongwu and complete the feudal overseas move.

Min Hongxue was actually a little optimistic about King Tang's ability. After all, not every young man had the ability of the Emperor. From the more than a year of contact with the King of Tang, Min Hongxue felt that the King of Tang was a little eager for quick success and not calm enough in temperament. Of course, this also has something to do with his age and experience.

At this time, I heard Min Hongxue say slowly: "Dongwu's strength should not be underestimated. From the fact that they were able to unify the entire Dongwu and drive the Xiyi army out of their country, all circumstances indicate that Dongwu will be defeated this time." In the war to destroy the country, we must be cautious! "

"Yes, yes, Mr. Ge is so right!" Upon hearing this, King Tang quickly nodded in agreement. Min Hongxue's attitude made him very satisfied. But he was worried about what happened before, so he wanted to ask if there was any solution?

But before he could ask, Min Hongxue was already saying: "Therefore, our first stage goal of this war is to occupy Mengyang, Mengmi and Mubang with lightning speed, and then defend them." Waiting for the attack, consuming Togo's strength, waiting until the follow-up troop training is completed, and the flintlocks and other military equipment are equipped, and then looking for opportunities to decisively fight with Togo's main force, with the goal of occupying the grain-producing area of ​​Ava. The third stage is to occupy the entire Donggo. Your Highness has no objection to this plan, right?"

This is the result that the emperor just got after discussing with several parties in the chat group. The King of Tang also participated, so he naturally knew it. He knew that he didn't know much about these things, so if this was the case after discussion, it would definitely be possible. When he heard Min Hongxue mention it again, he quickly nodded and responded: "Of course I have no objection! It's just that Mr. Ge, you have to pay attention to what you are worried about!"

When Min Hongxue heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, shook his head and said, "Your Highness, I just told you the solution!"

When King Tang heard this, he was very surprised. After thinking for a while, he suddenly came back to his senses and couldn't help but said in surprise: "You mean with lightning speed?"

"Yes!" Min Hongxue listened and nodded. "I have already made it clear in the military meeting just now that the chieftains will obey orders within half a month without delay. This does not mean that we will send out troops in half a month! Tomorrow morning , His Highness’s army was divided into two armies, one army took Mubang directly, and then attacked Mengmi, while the other army captured Mengyang, so they were united first. Then let the chieftain’s army assist from the beginning and end."

Having said this, he explained to the King of Tang: "Although these chieftains may collude with Dong Wu, they are mostly worried that Dong Wu will invade their territory, and are not sincerely towards Dong Wu. As long as His Highness's army can be in time By capturing these places, even if these chieftains had collusion with Dongwu before, it is unlikely that they will do so in the future."

King Tang's brows relaxed unconsciously when he heard this, and he was a little overjoyed. He didn't expect that Mr. Min Ge could solve the problem in an understatement. He rubbed his hands vigorously and said repeatedly: "Not bad, not bad, it should be like this!"

Seeing him like this, Min Hongxue reminded him again: "Your Highness, during this expedition, we should be suspicious of the soldiers and let Dongwu know how many troops we have sent to Ming Dynasty. After occupying Mubang and other places, even if the stalemate continues, if King Thalong feels that if the imperial army is large in number, he will have to mobilize a large army to deal with it. This will help consume Donggo's national power and reduce resistance to His Highness's next plan!"

Hearing another practical strategy, King Tang was even more happy and nodded repeatedly. After discussing for a while, he couldn't help but leave and ran to the military camp to check the food and supplies.

Min Hongxue sent King Tang out of the palace and looked at his leaving figure, feeling a little worried.

In the past, the emperor's strategy for Dong Wu was not like this. Instead, after preparations are made, the imperial court will announce the vassal's national policy of feudal overseas affairs, then list Tougo's crimes and swear to go to war.

But later, when news came from various sources, I found that I couldn't delay it, so I had to move forward. Since it could not affect the lord's feudal overseas national policy, it was simply carried out secretly. When the fight was certain, it was not too late to announce it in a high-profile manner.

Of course, the fact that the King of Tang led the army on an expedition does not mean that the King of Tang went to command the war. Many of his generals were drawn from various garrison stations. The leadership abilities of several important generals were at least recognized by Min Hongxue. They, the local people who are familiar with Dongwu, will direct the battle, at least at the tactical level, so there is no need to worry too much.

As planned, early the next morning, the Tang army quietly set off and began the first phase of the operation.

A few days later, in Hanlong Pass, the king of Tang stood on the top of the city, looking down at the five thousand soldiers standing below, feeling quite excited. The vassal king led the troops, and after so many years, the Ming Dynasty was finally realized again in his own hands!

How can it be the wish of Taizu's descendants to eat and wait for death? A man who is a real man should travel across the world, learn from Taizu, and establish a country. This is the true nature of a man, and he is worthy of being a descendant of Taizu. King Tang thought to himself, feeling that there was a suffocating feeling in his heart. He really wanted to look up to the sky and roar. I, Zhu Yujian, will definitely live up to this opportunity and defeat Dongwu!

Thinking like this, he said loudly: "You were mostly victims of disasters and refugees before. It was Gu who gave you the opportunity to survive and support your family. Now, it is your time to repay Gu. It’s time to take revenge!”

The victims and refugees in Yunnan, especially in the southwest, were mostly caused by the military disasters invaded by Dongwu, so the king of Tang made this statement. Hearing what he said, although they already knew that their army was going to attack Dongwu, these soldiers were still very excited. Most of them are people near the Yunnan border, so they naturally know about Dong Wu. In the past, a single general in the imperial court with five hundred soldiers could defeat tens of thousands of Dongwu troops. Now there are five thousand troops, so there is great hope of winning!

Thinking like this, some people who knew the details turned their attention to the general at the front. He was Fu Yuman, the son of General Fu Guochun, who defeated tens of thousands of Dongwu troops with only 500 soldiers. I believe that with him here, he will definitely win this time.

The king of Tang Dynasty watched the movements of the soldiers below from the top of the city, and naturally took a look at the middle-aged general. He wanted to defeat Dongwu, so he naturally knew about Dongwu's previous affairs. When he knew about the court's previous achievements, he immediately wanted to invite the generals who had defeated Dongwu before to come out. Anyway, with the emperor's support, he has enough glory and wealth in his hands, and I believe he can invite people to come out.

However, he did not expect that the Ming generals who had made the Dongwu army flee in embarrassment were either transferred to northern Xinjiang and died in the battle with Jianlu, or they had died of old age. Fu Guochun is still there, but he is just an old man with limited mobility. Fortunately, they all have children and grandchildren, and I believe that these children and grandchildren should be able to do it under the guidance of their elders.

After thinking this for a while, King Tang immediately took his mind back and shouted loudly to the soldiers below: "I will give you this opportunity for revenge. As long as we don't surrender, all the men will be killed, and the women will be yours. The property we captured belongs to you too! Your wealth is all in your own hands, and how you want to live your life in the future depends on your own performance!"

Hearing this, the soldiers at the top of the city immediately shouted loudly: "Kill...kill...kill..."

Seeing that the morale was usable, King Tang felt a little proud. The war against Donggo must not fail. Those women's money doesn't matter, as long as they can defeat Dongwu, they will have plenty in the future!

With this thought in mind, he looked at the sky and gave an order, and the army set out to attack Mubang. And of course he himself would not set off with the army. Even if he was willing, Emperor Chongzhen would not be willing. If the war fails and the King of Tang dies on the battlefield, it will definitely be a blow to the vassal king's feudal overseas affairs. Emperor Chongzhen will not allow this to happen.

Therefore, the Jinyi Guards beside King Tang have been closely guarding King Tang. At the same time, they can be regarded as controlling King Tang and preventing him from doing things he shouldn't do.

"Your Highness, my subordinates are leaving too!" Next to Prince Tang, a thin and dark man bowed and said with a fist in his hand.

After hearing this, King Tang nodded to him and said: "You are from Mubang, and you are most familiar with the terrain of Mubang. If you work hard for Gu, Gu will still leave Mubang to you to manage in the future."

The person in front of me is also a member of the chat group, Mubang Renbaden. He was overjoyed when he heard the sound, thanked him quickly, and then turned around to follow the army down the city.

"Remember, if you tell me more news, Elder Guhege and Your Majesty will be paying attention." King Tang was excited and warned again.

After hearing this, Badending had to turn around, made another promise, and then left in a hurry.

King Tang walked to the outer city wall of Hanlong Pass and looked at the meandering armies filing out. He looked up at the mountains and forests in the distance and was speechless for a long time.

At this time, Mubang was originally a sparsely populated area with mostly mountains and forests. After the back and forth battles between Dongwu and Mingguo, the people's livelihood in this place even declined. In many places, no human habitation can be seen, but a few abandoned villages can be seen. Most of the population is concentrated in several cities, with Mubang being the largest. It is also for this reason that the headquarters of Dongwu's garrison general is in Mubang City.

"Sir, there is a lot of commotion over there in the Ming Dynasty. I'm afraid they may have plans for us, so we have to be careful!" A middle-aged man dressed as a scholar earnestly advised a bearded man who was drinking and having fun with his beautiful concubine. .

The bearded man listened and ignored him, happily drinking the wine from the mouth of the woman in his arms. When the middle-aged man saw it, there was a hint of worry on his brow, and he had to increase his voice and remind him again.

After a sip of wine, the bearded man finally became a little impatient. He turned to look at the middle-aged man and shouted loudly: "You Han people like to fight among themselves. You spend all day either guarding against this or plotting against that. Are you done with it? I will let you." You come to help me so that you can implement His Highness’s will and achieve good results so that I can speak to His Highness, do you understand?”

King Talong's new policy had already begun to be implemented at this time, changing the previous dynasty's militaristic approach. Therefore, the assessment in various places was also changed from military affairs to civil affairs. The Mubang guard general was not good at governing, so he chose a scholar from among the Han captives to be his master, and he was able to use it smoothly.

When the middle-aged man heard this, his face was slightly embarrassed, but it immediately disappeared, replaced by worry, and he continued to persuade him earnestly: "Sir, the news from the Ming Dynasty is really worrying. . All right, what kind of troops are you training? The adults may not know, but the villain knows very well that the Ming Dynasty has no money. If there is nothing wrong, it will definitely not waste money and food to train troops. Now that we are training troops, and it has been almost a year Come on, it was trained by the former governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. This combat power should not be underestimated! Besides, in this area, besides me, Dongwu, I can’t think of anyone I would use my troops against?"

"Haha, the Ming Dynasty has long since died!" Upon hearing this, the bearded man couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Mubang has been occupied by Dongwu for so long. Did he ever fart? I just sent an envoy at the beginning. , I want to take Mubang back just by talking, but have you made any other moves over the years?"
