Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

"Nanyang." Seeing that Zhu Youjian did not blame herself, Zhang Yan had the courage to express her judgment:

"Since Luoyang was captured by Li Zicheng last year, more than a million people have been killed. Now it is still a white land, and this place is not an option.

Although Xi'an, the ancient capital, is known as the Four Fortresses, it has experienced severe drought for nearly 20 years. The water source here is inherently insufficient, and it has been harmed by bandits in turn. It is also the base camp of Li bandits, so this place is not good for His Majesty. "

Zhang Yan said slowly:

"My hometown is not far from Nanyang, and I passed by the pass several times when I was young to visit my relatives.

Although Nanyang is known as the Thousand Miles Plain, it is actually just a huge basin!

Qinling Mountains, Funiu Mountain, Daba Mountain and Tongbai Mountain surround Nanyang in the middle, which can also be called a miniature version of the Four Fortresses. "

It cannot be seen on the topographic map due to the scale. In fact, the Nanyang Basin is surrounded by mountains.

"And, most importantly, after Li Zicheng went north, he appointed Bai Wang to stay in Jianghan, and Zuo Liangyu was fighting with him.

Bai Wang is just a mediocre person, and Zuo Liangyu can pester him, which proves that his commanding ability is not strong.

It is much easier for Your Majesty to establish a foothold in Nanyang than anywhere else! "

"Nanyang is the place where Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty started. It has always been one of the five major capitals in the world. I understand what the emperor's wife means."

Zhu Youjian said the words to see off the guests.

"The timing is not good for us. Your Majesty will make a decision early on." Zhang Yan bowed and bowed, and exited the hall.

……

"Big companion!" He stretched out his hand to call Wang Chengen: "What do you think of Queen Yi'an's intention?"

Wang Chengen thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Nanyang is known in history as the Gate of the Central Plains. This place is the crossroads of the world and has always been a battleground for military strategists."

"Nanyang is surrounded by mountains, and the terrain in the north is particularly steep. The pass mentioned by the Empress just now was guarded by Fangcheng, one of the nine fortresses, which is now Yuzhou.

This place and Wuguan are the only two ways from the north to enter Nanyang.

In other words, if you are based in Nanyang, these two places are the key. "

"In addition, the mountains to the east and south of Nanyang are not too high, so they need to be defended by soldiers and cannot be relied on as natural dangers."

Wang Chengen tried to stabilize his mind, quickly organized some words, and continued:

"Nanyang can be a foundation, but you can't rely too much on it. Since ancient times, those who defend this place can only survive long by attacking."

"In addition, if you want to defend Nanyang, you must capture Xiangyang and close the invasion channel from the south. In other words, capture the entire geographical Nanyang Basin..."

Zhu Youjian nodded frequently.

His eyes passed through the already dark night, and he didn't know where he was drifting.

……

Attack, take the initiative...

……

On March 17, the [-]th year of Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian, a later generation, came to Ming Dynasty on his first day, and it passed slowly like this.

Not urgent!

There is still one and a half days until Li Zicheng enters the city!

According to history, the drama of courtiers forcing the palace is about to begin...

Zhu Youjian would not be reconciled if he did not witness the shamelessness of civil servants with his own eyes!

The next day.

Early in the morning, before dawn, the courtiers rushed into the palace under the guard of more than a dozen soldiers. Even ignoring the obstruction of Wang Chengen and others, they rushed into the Golden Palace.

Zhu Youjian, who was sleeping in his clothes while sitting on the dragon chair, woke up suddenly. He buttoned his eyes and looked at the ministers coming along the steps, with a sneer on his lips.

In one night, Zhu Youjian had sorted out the memory of the original owner. At this time, the first person in line was the chief assistant of the dynasty - Wenyuan Pavilion Bachelor, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Minister of the Ministry of War, Governor Hedao, and Tuntian , Wei Zaode who trains troops and does everything.

Following him were the former Chief Assistant Chen Yan, Minister of War Shangshu Qunfu Zhang Jinyan and other cabinet ministers, and the officials of the six ministries were behind them...

As for the arrogant Zhu Chunchen yesterday, he was far away from the outer circle of the circle...

The people who were guarding the core were two eunuchs, and they were Du Xun and Du Zhizhi. Between them was a young general with a Chinese character.

Who is this person?

It stands to reason that at this time when the ministers are trying to force the palace, those who can occupy the C position are all crucial figures.

Zhu Youjian frowned slightly. In ancient book records, there are many stories about Chongzhen's clear mind and quick reactions.

However, he searched through the memory of the original owner and could not find any news about this young general.

This person must be a key figure!

……

The ministers bowed slightly, gave a perfunctory salute, and said unevenly "Long live."

The noisy sounds interrupted Zhu Youjian's thoughts.

The left corner of his mouth raised, revealing a contemptuous and evil smile:

"The bell that rang yesterday morning has just reached the ears of the workers now."
