Chapter 2093 Objection to Zhengguoben (Xu [-])
Rarely, Liu Xin questioned Gao Pragmatic's strategic planning opinion.While looking at the map, she thought about it: "Why do we have to take steps to take Bangladesh and the ports in the South Asian subcontinent? I don't think these two things will interfere with each other, they can be done at the same time, and from the time point Looking at it from above, it is also necessary to start planning ahead for the port now.”

Although in the past few years, the objections that Gao Yushi has been able to get, whether from the court or the Jinghua system, have become less and less, but it does not mean that he is used to arbitrariness.

The thinking developed in the previous life is like a steel seal, which is deeply imprinted in his subconscious mind. He knows that he is far from perfect, and he will definitely make mistakes, so he will not use a kind of "you" on any occasion. What do you know” to treat different opinions with arrogance.

On the contrary, just because he can get fewer and fewer objections now, he is more cautious. Once there are objections, he will seriously reflect on whether he has really missed something.

"Zhuge is cautious all his life, Lu Duan is not confused about major matters."

Gao Yushi has a clear understanding of himself. He is not a genius. What he is stronger than the princes of the dynasty is nothing more than hundreds of years of historical insight and some principles proved by countless predecessors, such as 'dichotomy', 'criticism and self-criticism', etc., so the more outstanding he is, the more he reminds himself: don't be conceited, don't be complacent, it's not that you are so pragmatic and awesome, you are just standing on the shoulders of giants, don't let yourself fall off the shoulders of giants !
Zhuge Liang is such a great talent. With the land of Shu, Cao Wei sent Sima Yi to be passively defensive, but he is the most cautious in doing things.Even letting Ma Di guard the street pavilion was originally an extremely simple task. Zhuge Liang had clearly told Ma Di what to do every step of the way. went?
It is precisely because there have been such lessons learned in history, so the various highly pragmatic strategic layouts often strive for stability and eliminate radicalization.

His thinking is not out of thin air, and it can even be said to have a theoretical basis, that is, what is said in "Sun Tzu's Art of War: Xing Pian": "The good fighters of the past were invincible first, and waited for the enemy to be victorious." .Invincibility depends on oneself, and victory depends on the enemy. Therefore, a good fighter can become invincible, and cannot make the enemy invincible."

To put it simply: what is good at war?It is to put myself in an invincible position first, and then wait for the enemy to show his flaws, and then I will break through the enemy's flaws, so we have won.

The key to being undefeated is to not reveal one's flaws, but the key to victory is to see whether the opponent reveals one's flaws.Therefore, the so-called good fighting, in fact, mainly lies in being able to show one's own flaws, not in ensuring that the enemy will definitely show flaws-how do you know that the opponent is not a master?

In fact, Gao Yushi is very familiar with the truth described in this passage of the Art of War by Sun Tzu, and I am afraid that everyone in China has heard it: bottom-line thinking.

You can't expect the enemy to do everything according to your expectations or expectations, so your best response is to stick to doing your own thing.

This is like Zhang Wuji, the great master of Nine Suns, if you allow Master Miejue to slap me with one, two, or three palms, so what?My inner strength is deep and I can continuously repair myself. Therefore, the characteristic of Nine Suns Divine Art is "He will let others be strong, and the breeze will blow the hills; he will let him pass, and the bright moon will shine on the river."

On the national level, the Nine Suns Divine Art is actually a method of defeating the enemy specially customized for big countries: as long as I can be myself, no matter how tyrannical you are, no matter how slanted your sword is, I can bear it, and in the end I will be able to bear it. It will definitely kill you.

In fact, this truth is not difficult to understand, nor is it difficult to comprehend. It does not even require too advanced strategic thinking, as long as you can persist in a realistic attitude.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, from Xiong Tingbi to Sun Chengzong, their strategies were actually "Nine Suns": relying on the national power of the Ming Dynasty to crush the Houjin, not seeking a one-shot kill, but seeking a day's death, because time stands On Daming's side.

However, they overlooked one point. Although the comprehensive national strength of Ming Dynasty was far stronger than that of Hou Jin, the structural problems of Ming Dynasty were too serious, so that the overall efficiency was so low that it was unbearable to look directly at it.Therefore, once there is a slight internal problem, the enemy will find a loophole in a corner of the front line, which violates the taboo of what Sun Tzu called "the invincibility lies in oneself".

It is precisely because of this that Gao Yushi has always regarded internal reform as a top priority, devoting far more energy than fighting externally.In his opinion, what is there to worry about in combat?Use the Nine Suns Magic Art, just crush it with internal force and you're done.When have you ever seen him take risks in a highly pragmatic manner, insisting on using three thousand elite soldiers to defeat the enemy's one hundred and eighty thousand troops?Almost all the army pressed up and flattened them.

What, do you think I didn't fight this battle well enough?You are wonderful, you are wonderful and come out to fight me with such a strong army, can you do it?You can't take it out, but I can take it out, this is my ability!

What is a big country?The big country is that I don’t need to play so many tactics with you, I just push all the way, every aspect is the main force along the way, and you can’t beat any of them!This is called one force to drop ten meetings, and this is called a big country!

However, although this style of play does not seem to be particular during the war, all the attention is paid before the battle, that is, the situation of comprehensive crushing has been achieved before the battle.

When it comes to dealing with the Mughal Empire specifically, Gao Pragmatism's previous strategy was to wait for the internal conflicts of the Mughals to intensify after Akbar's death, and at the same time the kinetic energy of its military expansion has been exhausted, and then suddenly send out heavy troops to counterattack along the Ganges River Basin. Pushing, forcibly defeating its main force - this is the "justification" of the art of war.

Then another navy was sent all the way, leading the elite marines to bypass the Indian peninsula and land on the west coast of India, from the Gujarat area, and go northeast to Delhi, Agra and other cores of the Mughal Empire.At this time, the Mughal Empire's army gathered on the eastern front, and it may have been defeated, and it was heard that the back road was copied, and it would inevitably collapse-this is the "surprise victory" of the art of war.

As a regime established by a foreign military group, the Mughal Empire’s ruling legitimacy was almost entirely derived from its military violence, so once this violence was destroyed by Jinghua, its ruling foundation would collapse instantly.

At that time, Gao Yushi can use various political means to quickly fill the power vacuum after the collapse of the Mughal Empire-on this point, Gao Yushi has complete confidence.

However, the problem is that Jinghua’s expansion in Nanjiang, Nanyang and other places is too smooth, and because the benefits brought by the expansion far exceed expectations, so that Jinghua’s internal Nanjiang Group has generated an endogenous expansion momentum, and it has now Difficult to suppress, Gao Yushi was forced to agree to temporarily release some of this expansion momentum.

Therefore, the plan that had already been planned in his mind could only be revised temporarily, and the temporary revision of a large plan is obviously prone to various problems.For example, once a behemoth like Jinghua is ready to move, the various small forces around it will definitely not be able to sit still, and will definitely actively seek...cooperation or confrontation.

Judging from the current situation, these small forces represented by Assam have chosen to cooperate.This may be attributed to certain characteristics of farming civilization in the Ming Dynasty and even the entire Chinese dynasties-self-limitation of expansion.

Although this kind of self-limitation itself stems from the correct understanding of the "government cost", knowing that as an agricultural civilization, it is neither capable nor necessary to expand indefinitely, so as not to exceed its own ruling ability, so that the cost of governance will increase rapidly to the point where it cannot make ends meet .

However, just because China itself knows it does not mean that the surrounding countries or tribes with relatively backward cultures also know it.Most of them don't know why the Chinese dynasties have no interest in their territory. It can only be attributed to the Chinese people's pride and conceit. They look down on their backcountry and don't care about the three melons and two dates they produce.

But in any case, this kind of thinking is now having a positive effect.Neither Assamese nor Bangladeshi rebels, and perhaps even Prince Salim, did not seem to think that the introduction of the Jinghua support army would lead to the invasion of the house.

In their view, this is a simple plan to drive away tigers and wolfs, as long as they pay some economic benefits or other benefits in exchange.

It is precisely because Gao Yushi has such a judgment that he decided not to consider launching a simultaneous scramble for ports in various parts of India before winning Bangladesh, so as not to alert the current "partners".

"The reason?" Gao Wushi asked.

Liu Xin didn't know Gao Pragmatically's considerations. She pointed to the entire map of the South Asian subcontinent and said, "You just said that Akbar, the great emperor, fought all his life. Rajput, Gujarat, Malwa, and Gundwa He has conquered such a huge piece of territory in the past few decades. Moreover, until these few years, he has been continuously invading the Deccan Peninsula, that is, central and southern India, right? "

Gao Wushi nodded and said: "This is a fact, and it is exactly what I said. He has almost exhausted the momentum of the Mughal Empire's military expansion."

"Okay, then I have a question." Liu Xin didn't care about the second half of the sentence, but pointed to the countries in the central and southern parts of the Indian Peninsula, and said: "Facing the decades-long problems of Emperor Akbar What do these countries think about the continuous invasion of the south? In other words, are they afraid or not?"

The answer is obvious, Gao Yushi nodded and said: "Akbar has been almost invincible these years. Although these countries on the Deccan Peninsula are big and small, they are obviously not as good as the Mughal Empire. It's scary."

"Since they are afraid, is there any way for them to deal with it?" Liu Xin raised her eyebrows and asked, "For example, Ahmed Negal, Golconda, Surya Vadra, and even the second-line Bijapur, Bidar, Vijayanagar and the like, have they ever thought of some means such as combining vertical and horizontal, and everyone joins hands to fight against the Mughals?"

"I must have thought about it, but...hehe." Gao Wushi shook his head and said: "The six countries can have Su Qin and Zhang Yi Lianheng. As long as the Mughals do not border all countries at the same time, Then the degree of threat faced by each country will naturally be different.

Therefore, even if they form a coalition, they must have different ideas in their hearts, but if one or two people in charge in the Mughal country can be divided and disintegrated, what can the coalition accomplish?But the Suanzao League, the Eighteenth Route princes have their own ghosts.If I were the one in power in the Mughal Empire, I would be able to make it self-defeating without a single soldier. "

"Amazing, amazing." Liu Xin clapped her palms and smiled, "But that's it? Now that the Deccan kingdoms feel threatened and have their own ghosts, what do they need?
I would say that since the local neighbors are unreliable, it is better to bring in external forces to help.At least it seems that what external forces covet them is nothing more than economic interests. Compared with maintaining their own rule, what is the transfer of some economic interests? "

Gao Wushi smiled and said, "I know that."

"I also think you should know." Liu Xin did not doubt the authenticity of Gao Yushi's words. After all, this is a political issue. As her teacher Gao, it is definitely not difficult to see this.

"That is to say, you are worried about the implementation level?" Liu Xin tentatively said: "I don't think the implementation level is a problem, we have enough strength to complete the two goals of Bangladesh and South India ports at the same time.

For Bangladesh, the main force we need is an army.Even if the rivers in the Bengal Delta are crisscrossed, we need at most some shallow water gunboats.Considering that our military equipment has obvious technical advantages over them - whether it is the Mughals or the Bengals, it does not need to be too large.Well, this point is not difficult to deal with, and it will not even affect the maritime strength of the Nanyang Fleet.

As for the Deccan states, we are only going to ask for ports. As for how to 'take', I think we can refer to the Portuguese - as long as the port is needed, the inland is ignored.At this time, what they need is to use our power to deter the Mughal Empire, and you just said that the Mughal Empire is actually very worried about its waterway to the west.

Well, as long as our Nanyang Fleet goes to the west coast of India to show our strength and let the Mughal Empire know that we are even far stronger than the Portuguese navy and are fully capable of cutting off its western waterway at any time, then all this can be done without much effort. achieved. "

"Your ideas can indeed be realized, but I also have two questions to ask." Gao Wushi said: "The first question is that we intervene in the Deccan countries and ask them for ports. Will this arouse their vigilance? Will it hinder our actions on the entire South Asian subcontinent in the future?

The second question is, according to the original agreement reached between Zhiting and the Spanish Portuguese Empire, Nanyang belongs to me, and India belongs to him. If we now directly intervene in Indian affairs and start occupying the port, will the Spanish Portuguese Empire think that we have crossed the border, and therefore have a relationship with us? We are hostile?

Of course, I am not afraid of being hostile to them, but I am worried that after they intervene, the problems in the Indian Ocean will become more complicated. What about the nations—joining hands against us? "
