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

Under Fang Zhenghua's manipulation, he immediately chose to return to the emperor's embrace, already feeling guilty.

but!

Even though Huang Degong had prepared food and fodder to help Zhu Youjian through the most difficult pass, he still felt that he was unforgivable...

Because - he is from the emperor's personal guard!

His Majesty gave him the last of his bodyguards who were capable of conquering and fighting, but he turned his back on the emperor.

From Huang Degong's point of view, no matter how much he did, it was not enough to wash away his guilt.

"Ugh!"

Prosecutor Zhu You sighed, waved his hand and said:

"Get up!"

"The country is ruined and the family is ruined. Many nobles and nobles no longer recognize me. It is commendable that you, Huang Chuangzi, can still obey my orders."

As soon as Zhu Youjian said these words, Huang Degong was even more ashamed and couldn't help himself.

With the help of the eunuch, Huang Degong silently climbed up from the ground.

He lowered his head and stood aside, not daring to look at the emperor's face.

Zhu Youjian thought for a while and took him to the war room aside.

This is a palace that Zhu Youjian set up after the layout of the general staff of later generations.

Just to the left of Chengtian Hall.

It's called Tianji Palace.

As everyone walked into the hall, Huang Degong looked around and saw huge maps hanging on three walls.

In the middle of the room, there is a circle of oval tables and chairs. In the middle of the table, there is an oval hollow.

Inside the hollow is the map of Kun.

This map of Kun is not like the map drawn on paper, it is just a plan view.

The map in the middle of the table is a microscopic map of the world's mountains, cities, and rivers.

It is also commonly known as the sand table!

The sand table is something that Chinese generals are familiar with as long as they have studied the art of war.

As early as the Warring States Period, the prototype of the sand table had already appeared.

After Qin Shihuang unified the world, he even built a large terrain model in the mausoleum.

The model not only contains mountains, hills, cities, etc., but also uses mercury to simulate rivers and seas, and uses mechanical devices to circulate the mercury.

During the period of Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu conquered the Tianshui and Wudu areas, and the local tyrants and tyrants in the area were called Weihao.

General Ma Yuan "gathers rice to form a valley and points out the situation."

This is the earliest military sand table.

Although Huang Degong was not of high birth, he was also a hereditary military household.

He is also a capable person in reading and writing.

Huang Degong, who has been marching and fighting for many years, can see the subtlety of this map of Kun at just one glance.

As a tough general, Huang Degong thinks that his memory is still good. As long as he passes by, the local terrain is imprinted in his mind.

After a little comparison, I realized that the emperor's map of Kunming was already impeccable in terms of accuracy.

Zhu Youjian sat down on the main seat, pointed to the chair on one side and said:

"Sit down and discuss with me."

Huang Degong was feeling anxious, and how could he dare to sit down?

He sat in the corner of the chair tremblingly, not knowing how to speak.

Zhu Youjian saw his worry at a glance, glanced at him, and said in a deep voice:

"You Huang Chuangzi are naturally guilty!

However, at this time when our country is in crisis, I allow you to make meritorious deeds.

If you can achieve military honors, I will forgive your sins.

If you cannot fulfill my expectations, I will punish you even more severely! "

Zhu Youjian stretched out his hand towards Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen hurriedly handed over a short blunderbuss inlaid with silver wire.

"Clap!"

Zhu Youjian waved the short gun and threw it to Huang Degong:

"Do you, Huang Degong, dare to accept this military order?"

Seeing the emperor say this, the anxiety in Huang Degong's heart dissipated, and his heart fell back into his stomach.

He hurriedly took the blunderbuss, avoided his seat, knelt down on the ground with a pop, and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Even if I die, I will not let you down again!"

Zhu Youjian nodded and asked him to get up and study the military situation together.

Huang Degong took the reassurance and then carefully observed the map of Kun.

He looked around and saw that on the sand table map, flags of different colors were marked for Donglu, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Nanming, Daming, and the temporarily neutral areas under the jurisdiction of the original Mingchen.

Huang Degong thought carefully.

I saw that the Donglu occupied the Gyeonggi area, while Li Zicheng occupied the Shanshan area. The two sides were currently intertwined, and they were obviously fighting each other!

The Fu Dynasty Hall in the south is mainly concentrated in the southern Zhili area.

Zhang Xianzhong's forces in the west are attacking each other with the Ming ministers in Sichuan and Shu.

Judging from the sand table, His Majesty's power happens to be among all parties.

At this time, the power map of all parties

Huang Degong followed the ancient Shangyu Road where Wuguan was located and looked at the Dashun area where Li Zicheng belonged.

He was shocked!

wonderful!

No wonder His Majesty wants to join forces with Li Zicheng!

As the saying goes, the gold edge is the silver horn grass belly. Although His Majesty occupies the land of Zhongzhou, it corresponds to the old saying "The world belongs to the one who conquers the Central Plains."

However, the Central Plains is the land of the world, and it is a place of four battles.

His Majesty united with Dashun Li Zicheng. On the one hand, he held back the Tatars, and on the other hand, he won a stable rear for himself!

Huang Degong raised his head.

He already understands!

No wonder the literati in the south of the Yangtze River insist on going their own way and insist on forming an alliance with the Tatars regardless of the opposition of knowledgeable people in the government and the public!

Huang Degong felt cold all over his body.

Good luck!

Your Majesty has established a firm foothold in the Central Plains. If Your Majesty had not seized the Central Plains as the foundation...

God!

Huang Degong didn't dare to think about it anymore!

The literati in the south of the Yangtze River helped the Tatars solve their worries, allowing them to free up their hands and concentrate on dealing with Li Zicheng. Once Li Zicheng's Dashun was defeated, what awaited China would be the overthrow of the country!

"You've got it?"

Zhu Youjian had a sneer on his face.

He has realized this since he first traveled through this world and woke up.

How shameless is the Jiangnan literati group? After the Tatars entered the customs, they sent people to the north to inspect. When Zhu Yousong failed, they collectively sent people and even countless bosses to go north to inspect in person.

It was not until someone saw that the Tatars could not satisfy them that they took some actions to resist the Qing Dynasty.

With this group of shameless people holding back, even if Xiang Yu is reborn and Cunxiao is still alive, there is nothing he can do!

……

Huang Degong's face was full of bitterness.

He calmed down. Since His Majesty has seen through all this, he should have a way to break the situation.

He stood up straight and said in a deep voice:

"Degong is your Majesty's retinue and camp guard. Wherever Your Majesty lets Degong go, Degong should go where he is!"

Zhu Youjian nodded.

He picked up the baton and pointed at Shandong:

"I played a casual game here and let Zuo Guangdou and Zhao Yingyuan stay here.

However, these two people are not capable enough and may not be able to cope with the upcoming changes. Are you willing to go to Lu Di? "

The Shandong Peninsula is on the back of the Tatars' southward march.

As long as you put a partial master here, when you need it, it will have unbelievable benefits!
