Chapter 130 War Strategy
Relying on his youth, Zhu Xiongying felt that he was in pretty good shape now, full of energy and not stressed at all. He also went to Shenji Camp to have a look and found that the recovery of the soldiers was pretty good, but not at their best.
, but not far behind.
This is a good thing, but everyone also understands that these Shenji Camp soldiers who have come from afar still need some time to adapt to the environment here and adjust their body functions to the best state.
Although Zhu Xiongying knew that it would take some time, there were some things that he simply couldn't afford to wait for.
His banner has been erected at this time. This is not just a military or ceremonial flag. Because Zhu Xiongying's banner is a dragon banner, and it also has an eye-catching dragon flag. This is what makes many people feel
Unexpected.
This is not even an ordinary royal family. Those princes are now not qualified to use such a dragon seal. In addition to the emperor, the prince and the emperor's grandson can use such a dragon seal. And now, it is obvious that the emperor's grandson can use it.
Conscripted in person.
This probably greatly inspired the military morale of the Busan Guards. They certainly did not expect that Zhu Xiongying would come here. They did not expect that when the Goryeo rebels invaded, the Emperor Taisun would personally lead the army here!
The movement of the Pusan Guards naturally attracted the attention of the Korean soldiers, and the spies at the outpost also relayed the news immediately.
In this era, places like Goryeo did not have their own writing. They were accustomed to using Chinese characters. Of course, in order to please the Yuan Dynasty, they were very accepting of the writing and customs of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, and worked hard to integrate them. The so-called Korean, these
Man has not been created at all now.
Li Bangyuan was a little shocked at this moment, because his father had successfully usurped the throne and became the king of Joseon. And Li Bangyuan also contributed a lot in this process. For example, he assassinated Goryeo great sage Zheng Mongzhou, and the last obstacle to Li Chenggui's usurpation of the country was eradicated.
"General, please report back. The grandson of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is in Busan." Li Fangyuan looked at Wu Mengyi who walked into the tent and said worriedly, "In this way, the morale of the Ming army in the Busan area will inevitably increase sharply. They will
There will definitely be more reinforcements."
Wu Mengyi couldn't help but become worried and said, "Busan must be taken back, otherwise it will have a huge impact on the king's prestige. The fact that the Ming emperor's grandson came here also shows that the Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to the land of Busan. This battle, I'm afraid
It’s a tough battle.”
Wu Mengyi's worry is not unreasonable. Meng Yuan was invincible in the eyes of Goryeo monarchs and ministers, but they were beaten by the Ming Dynasty army. If he had confidence, Li Chenggui would not come back to Waihua Island.
Army. He was not only trying to usurp the throne, but also because he was worried about starting a direct war with the Ming Dynasty.
Li Fangyuan stood up and walked around uneasily, "We still have to fight this time. The Ming Dynasty is a strong enemy, but North Korea is not weak either! If those people gain a firm foothold in Busan, they may try to do it slowly, and they will definitely
It poses a threat to other parts of North Korea."
If nothing is said, it is naturally that his father has just succeeded in usurping the throne, and some domestic conflicts are still relatively large. If the Ming army is defeated at this time, it will definitely boost morale, and it will also make Li Chenggui's usurpation look like
The name is justifiable and can greatly enhance Li Chenggui's prestige.
Sometimes fighting is really not everything. Sometimes fighting is also about politics and strategy.
While Li Fangyuan and others were distressed, Feng Sheng and others arrived at the Chinese army's tent and were about to start the next strategic arrangement.
Feng Sheng seemed very happy to hear that the Liaodong region might have sent troops at this time. The Liaodong region sent troops to put pressure, which would definitely increase the pressure on Goryeo's subjects, and those people would definitely worry about being attacked from both sides.
It doesn't necessarily mean a big victory in Liaodong, it doesn't necessarily mean overwhelming power. The Ming army only needs to exert continuous pressure.
These things are what Zhu Xiongying is looking forward to, and he also thinks these things are more interesting. In the final analysis, he knows very well that such a battle must be fought, and he also knows that such a battle must be fought.
Even though the Ming Dynasty was a behemoth, it still needed all its strength to fight a lion against a rabbit. What's more, the Ming Dynasty now occupies Busan. The kings and people of Goryeo will definitely be very uneasy, and they will fight back with all their strength for their own land.
This is not a matter of national strength at all. Sometimes, if we don’t fight a war, many things will not be clear at this time.
Zhu Xiongying knows these things, and other people also understand this truth at this time. Everyone knows that the current Ming Dynasty needs to take a closer look. To use a head-to-head battle, the real truth is to have a big fist.
.
The Pusan Guards are constantly preparing for war, sorting out their ordnance, studying personnel allocation, and while raising their vigilance, Xu Yungong also led a thousand vanguards to attack on their own initiative.
At this time, something happened that made Zhu Xiongying laugh and cry. Sure enough, he received a letter.
Li Chenggui's son Li Bangyuan sent a memorial, or a letter in Li Chenggui's name. He claimed that the king of Goryeo was ignorant because of his "power to know the state affairs of Goryeo". Li Chenggui had to ascend the throne because of his popularity.
This seems to have found some interface for Li Chenggui to usurp the throne. It seems that Li Chenggui had no choice but to establish himself as king.
But what is indispensable at this time is to denounce the Ming Dynasty, saying that the entire North Korean people are respectful to the Ming Dynasty and have always wanted to claim tributary status and pay tribute. However, the Ming Dynasty provoked unjust troops to seize the land of Korea, which made them feel humiliated, angry, and helpless.
Do not raise troops to fight back.
The above table sent by Li Fangyuan made Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but laugh. He felt that there was no problem with what Li Fangyuan said. Because the truth seemed to be such a truth, and it was indeed true that Busan was conquered by the Ming Dynasty.
Occupied.
But no one should laugh at anyone. Since Li Chenggui can usurp the throne, the Ming Dynasty can naturally attack him. Li Chenggui wants to regain Busan and increase his momentum. Of course, Zhu Xiongying can consider giving Li Chenggui some blows to make these people in Goryeo old.
Be honest.
Naturally, Zhu Xiongying immediately started to find fault. This "power to know state affairs" is not good because Ming Dynasty has not allowed it. What does this mean? It means that Li Chenggui is clearly ambitious enough!
Furthermore, even Zhu Xiongying also severely scolded the people of Goryeo for allowing the Japanese pirates to stay here and invade the borders of the Ming Dynasty over the years. Since the people of Goryeo did not do business, the Ming Dynasty would naturally raise troops to attack them.
No one is bad at matters such as principles. Not only Li Fangyuan can say that, Zhu Xiongying is also good at these things. No one is afraid of anyone, and no one should be proud of anything.
He is shameless and only thinks of some favorable arguments for himself.
We can’t talk about ‘credentials’, because neither Zhu Xiongying nor Li Fangyuan is qualified to say that they are credentials at this time. But one thing is certain, their dialogue can be regarded as semi-official.
This is actually enough. Everyone knows in their hearts that it is just a matter of courtesy first and then fighting. Since the truth does not make sense now, what is indispensable is to speak on the next battlefield. At that time, maybe someone will speak out.
opportunity.
But at that time, everyone may be able to see who is stronger. At that time, the conversation will basically be that the winner can express his attitude condescendingly, which is not so polite.
’, or there is just a hint of thorn in the words.
Zhu Xiongying felt pretty good. His Ming army was now fully prepared for war. Everyone was ready to teach this little barbarian a harsh lesson.
Feng Sheng, wearing armor, came to the Chinese army's tent again and said, "Your Highness, the general is determined to win. If I, the Ming Dynasty King, attack with all my strength, I will definitely be able to decide the world in one fell swoop."
"If we kill the enemy with all our strength, how much damage will our Ming soldiers suffer?" Zhu Xiongying became serious and asked straight to the point.
Feng Sheng was silent for a moment, then clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and I can't guarantee that I will be the last general. These Koreans are quite ferocious. If we want to completely annihilate the bandits, I am afraid that the casualties of our king's division will not be small."
Zhu Xiongying nodded and asked, "If that's the case, just beat them up. The Japanese side is also a ferocious person, and the shogunate on both sides has just been unified. These things are not what I want to see. Those big names,
Samurai, the more chaotic the better.”
Feng Sheng frowned and said to Zhu Xiongying, "But Your Highness, if we can't take Goryeo, it will be difficult for our Ming Dynasty king to make arrangements."
"We can also consider the strategy of destroying Guo in a false way." Zhu Xiongying thought about it carefully and said, "Goryeo and Japan have two different personalities. Japanese people are ruthless in nature and have a gambling spirit. They are a group of nurturing people.
Unfamiliar wolf cubs. Although Korea is not good, it’s just that these people now seem to know that the situation is serious."
The so-called "big thing" is actually a Confucian diplomatic concept, which is based on the strategy of small countries serving big countries to preserve themselves under the balance of strength.
Feng Sheng seemed to understand and said, "Your Highness, you mean to inflict pain on Goryeo and use Goryeo as the vanguard to attack Japan?"
If this is the case, it would be great, and Zhu Xiongying is also looking forward to such a thing. Japan is now in a weak stage, and if we can take the opportunity to attack Japan at this time, that would be the best thing.
Zhu Xiongying was not just interested in silver mines in Japan.
In fact, the Korean dynasty in history was quite powerful, especially in the early days of the founding of the country. Li Chenggui also conquered the Jurchen tribe in the northeastern part of the Korean Peninsula by force, further strengthening the jurisdiction of the area and extending its territory to the Tumen River. Japanese pirates were active in
When Li Chenggui was in power, he basically did not dare to harass North Korea.
Historically, the Korean Dynasty actually had a tense relationship with the Ming Dynasty at the beginning. This also has historical reasons, because the two countries were founded at the same time. In the previous Goryeo period, the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Goryeo was tense.
.
Even though Goryeo was destroyed, there are still many remnants in Korea who are close to the Yuan Dynasty. And because of issues such as the Tielingwei and other issues, the relationship between the two countries has not been fundamentally improved after Li Chenggui established the Joseon Dynasty.
Although the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea was relatively good in history, this was also because of Zhu Yunwen's unlucky child's preferential treatment of North Korea. Including Zhu Di's generosity enough to allocate some areas where the Jurchens lived to the Joseon Dynasty.
I don’t know what to say about these things, but Zhu Xiongying feels that he must work hard. Otherwise, many good places will be given away, giving some people the capital to survive and develop.
.What’s more, some things really cannot be generous.
This can be regarded as Zhu Xiongying's attitude. He needs the current Joseon Dynasty to be his dog. He needs this vicious dog to bite Japan. Zhu Xiongying also knows that the Korean nation has extreme self-esteem, self-esteem to the point of inferiority and arrogance.
To the extent that these two Japanese devils are also completely cruel.
If you go to fight Japan, this vicious dog is still very effective. At least the soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty can suffer less damage.
Zhu Xiongying and Feng Sheng discussed some things carefully. It was necessary to use war to promote peace. To what extent this war should be fought, and how this war should be fought, Zhu Xiongying did not have a complete idea now.
We still need to look at the timing, and we still need to see how much initiative Ming can take in this battle this time. As long as the initiative is in hand, everything is easy to say.
Feng Sheng went back in high spirits, and Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but laugh, "For overseas enfeoffment, fourth uncle and fifth uncle, you must be grateful to me. But having said that, there must not be two vassal kings here in Japan.
It takes four."
No, that's not a vassal king, that's a king who can pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty. That's a different level than a prince!
We need to discuss this matter when we go back. This is not about sending the emperor's uncles to this barbaric land. It is about conquering the foreign land so that the emperor's uncles can found a country and become kings. They will be a famous vassal king!
It was only a generous nephew like Zhu Xiongying who was willing to give such treatment to the imperial uncles!
It’s better not to be narcissistic. Zhu Xiongying felt that such things must be considered before going back. These matters also need to be carefully discussed. After all, some imperial uncles are definitely not willing to come to such a wild place like Japan.
Being a king in Japan is really not as good as being a prince in the Ming Dynasty. Being a king in Japan is even a kind of betrothal in the eyes of some people. It is simply a life worse than death.
The Ming Dynasty's royal division began the final preparations for the battle. The banners were fluttering and the troops and horses were strong. Zhu Xiongying was dressed in golden armor and sat astride a horse with a solemn expression.
"Your Highness, this time the bandit army is attacking, this hill is easy to defend but difficult to attack!" Feng Sheng looked at Zhu Xiongying and said, "Your Highness is the key to this battle."
Zhu Xiongying laughed loudly and said to Feng Sheng, "General, don't say anything more. The rebel army can't kill here. I am just here to build up my momentum! But if the rebel army tries its best to kill me,
General, don’t miss this opportunity!”
Feng Sheng's heart trembled. He did not dare to harm the emperor's grandson, but Feng Sheng did not expect that the emperor's grandson had such murderous intent!
Chapter completed!
