Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 162 Choices
In the huge Hall of Martial Arts, Zhu Qiyu slowly paced back and forth in the hall with a military report.

The thing he was most worried about finally happened!
After the Civil War, the biggest difficulty for the imperial court was the lack of troops.

Not only the Beijing camp, but also the various border towns on the border are also very empty of troops.

This time, the plan that Zhu Qiyu, Yu Qian, Chen Mao and others repeatedly deduced was actually just a redistribution of soldiers on the border.

On the one hand, they strengthened the walls and cleared the wilderness, abandoned most of the unimportant passes, moved the people to the strong city, reduced the troops, and freed up part of the soldiers.

On the other hand, through peace talks and proactive attacks, a two-pronged approach will allow Tuotuobuhua to retreat, reduce the pressure on the border, and release some soldiers again.

In the end, they used these two evacuated troops to cut off Yexian's logistics transfer route, and strangled him to death outside the Bauhinia Pass.

The general direction of the whole plan is actually very simple to say, but there are countless dangers in it.

For example, once Xuanfu Yang Hong failed to repel the Ara Zhiyuan, he would definitely not retreat even with Tuotuobuhua.

After all, negotiations can only take place when strengths are equal.

Another example, Liaodong!

In this plan, the biggest risk is Liaodong.

Since you want to negotiate, you must first prove that you have the ability to negotiate with the other party.

Simply put, kill the chicken and show it to the monkey!

Ara Zhiyuan is the chicken.

If Wang Wen wants to negotiate with Tuotuobuhua, he must first deal a heavy blow to the Prefect of Ara.

This proves that even though it may be difficult for Da Ming to support the tens of thousands of main forces, it is not too difficult to deal with them, who have more than ten thousand people.

However, the Xuanfu's troops were insufficient. To attack the Ara Zhiyuan at night, it was necessary to have the support of troops from Liaodong.

So Wang Wen had to play an empty city trick in front of Tuotuobuhua.

Relying on Tuotuo's unsuspecting and not good at taking risks, he cheated him once, and then used various means to persuade him to agree to withdraw.

During this process, Wang Wen naturally also made some concessions on behalf of the emperor, but this was all explained in advance.

So in fact, in the whole plan, Liaodong Army Town is the weakest link.

Because until now, the [-] troops that originally belonged to Liaodong were still stationed in Xuanfu.

This is also the reason why Yang Hong was able to divide his troops and attack Fan Guang from east to west after the surprise attack on the Ara Zhiyuan to capture Yanghe.

Originally, the biggest threat to Liaodong was the Tatar army.

After Tuotuobuhua withdrew his troops, Liaodong could enjoy peace temporarily.

But no one thought that King Saikan, who was in charge of monitoring Tuotuobuhua, did not follow Tuotuobuhua, but went in the opposite direction to Tuotuobuhua.

In this way, his goal must be Liaodong Town!
Zhu Qiyu couldn't be sure whether this was the king's own decision, or a strategy that had been made in advance.

In short, because of his intervention, the current battle situation and the one he was familiar with in the previous life have undergone earth-shaking changes.

The situation he is facing now is actually a dilemma.

If King Saikan is allowed to aggressively attack Liaodong, the thousands of people in Liaodong alone will not be able to resist it at all.

But if support is required, the troops on the border will fall into tension again.

At this time, Yu Qian sighed and stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, you have already lost peace, and the army's logistics has been cut off. It is doomed to fall, but Liaodong Town is an important military town for Ming to contain Wuliangha and other troops."

"Once something happens in Liaodong, Wuliangha and other ministries will definitely take advantage of the situation. When the time comes, the imperial court will have to raise its troops to clean up the chaos in Liaodong. Please think twice."

Zhu Qiyu stopped, frowned and did not speak.

He understood what Yu Qian said.

At that time, the reason why he took Liaodong to take risks was because compared with Liaodong, the status of the capital was obviously more important.

But now that the victory is decided, it is not appropriate to take Liaodong to take risks.

As Yu Qian said, Liaodong Town was set up to deter and resist the Wuliangha Tribe and other small tribes such as Jurchen.

Once there is a loss in Liaodong, these tribes will inevitably take the opportunity to cause chaos.

Of course, with the presence of Shanhaiguan, it will not threaten the capital for a while, but after all, it will take a lot of effort for the imperial court to clean up.

In this way, there will be the emperor's personal conquest first, and then there will be an invasion first, and the Huguang Miao people will cause chaos in the interior. If the army is reorganized to clean up the chaos in Liaodong, the court will really be dragged down.

Not only that, but Zhu Qiyu knows more than Yu Qian.

For example, just next year, the first year of Jingtai, there will be a large-scale flood.

Then, there will be a drought in Jingtai in the second year, and an earthquake will be added.

In the third year of Jingtai, there will be continuous rain for several months, and the crops will be soaked in water, causing large-scale rot and failure.

In the four years of Jingtai, there were several major snow disasters.

In the fifth year of Jingtai, there was a plague of locusts...

In short, there will be no smooth and smooth years in the next few years.

Under such circumstances, what the imperial court and the common people obviously need is to recuperate and recover, rather than to fight again and fight year after year.

So at least in the last few years, this war with Yexian is the last war.

For a long time to come, Zhu Qiyu will focus on internal affairs.

Sitting down on the throne again, Zhu Qiyu had made up his mind and said.

"Order Yang Hong to send [-] troops, and another [-] troops from Juyongguan to help Liaodong. We must protect Liaodong Town."

"In addition, a message was sent to the general guarding the Bauhinia Pass, ordering Wang Wen and Ren Li to take the initiative to attack, and strive to severely injure the Oirat army. As for the enemy chiefs, they will wait first, regardless of life or death!"

At this point, he had to make a choice.

Liaodong can't lose, so it can only fight quickly, and strive to cause the greatest casualties to Ye Ye first in this battle.

Yu Qian and others took orders.

However, before leaving, Yu Qian stood there and looked at him, as if expecting Zhu Qiyu to say something else.

But in the end, Zhu Qiyu still didn't say anything.

Zhu Qiyu is naturally clear about Yu Qian's thoughts.

What he wanted to ask was nothing more than the Supreme Emperor who was still in Ye Xian's hands.

For his elder brother, Zhu Qiyu naturally hated him, but after watching the ups and downs for a hundred years, it is not true that hatred really occupies such an important position in his heart.

From Zhu Qiyu's point of view now, he certainly hoped that he would die in the chaos of war.

But this kind of thing depends on luck.

Faced with such a situation first, he will definitely take Zhu Qizhen as the last straw and grasp it firmly.

Unless Yexian's army can be completely wiped out, otherwise, it will be difficult to kill Zhu Qizhen under heavy protection.

But it's impossible for Zhu Qiyu to take the initiative to welcome him back.

At least for now, he won't let the Supreme Emperor return to Daming.

As for later...

After reliving a lifetime, if he falls twice in the same place, his life will be in vain!
