Three Kingdoms: A marriage certificate, the father-in-law is actually Lu Bu

Chapter 55 On the possibility of conquering the north from the south in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty!
"Is it impossible to conquer the north from the south?"

Zhuge Liang thought that Chuck might not agree with part of his three-point world strategy, and it is considerable that Chuck's current situation...

It is no longer a partial disapproval, but a total opposition.

What he planned with painstaking efforts was denied by others, no matter how polite Zhuge Liang was, he was still young and had not experienced outside tempering, at this time he felt a little dissatisfied in his heart.

"Of course it's impossible!" Chuck said decisively, giving Zhuge Liang no hope at all.

"Even if it's possible..."

"Not now, but thousands of years later."

When saying these words to Zhuge Liang, a name appeared in Chuck's mind.

Ming dynasty.

Emperor Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang.

In the 2000-year history of China, he is the only emperor who has gone against the general trend of the world since ancient times.

If Chuck is allowed to rank many emperors in China in history...

There are only two or three emperors who can win the Ming Dynasty Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang in history.

It can even be said arbitrarily.

The only ones who can win against Zhu Yuanzhang are the eternal Emperor Yingzheng and the unspeakable Zulong.

It's like Yingzheng defined what China is, what is the unification of the world; the unspeakable ancestor dragon drove out the great powers when the nation was in peril, and let the people of Yanhuang stand up and be the masters of their own country...

Zhu Yuanzhang rebuilt China when China fell.

It continues the national backbone that was broken by the foreign Hulu, and picks up the national dignity that has been trampled by foreign cavalry for hundreds of years.

In front of Zhu Yuanzhang, who started with a bowl, Hanwu Liu Che, who inherited the foundation, and Tang Zong Li Shimin seemed to be a little bit behind.

However, the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang was able to conquer the north from the south and establish the Ming Dynasty, is it really a trick?
In fact, it is not always the case.

Zhu Yuanzhang's talent and military strategy is one aspect.

on the other hand……

It is the inevitability of historical development.

After the development of the Sui, Tang, and Northern and Southern Song dynasties, the southern region was not weaker than the north in terms of social productivity, commercial economy, population size, and grain production at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. It is the foundation of a king and hegemony that can support heroes to compete in the world.

Because of this.

At every critical moment when Zhu Yuanzhang implemented the hegemony strategy of "accumulating grain widely, building walls high, and becoming king slowly", the troops in the south of the Yangtze River were directed at the capital of Yuan Dynasty, and at every critical moment when he swung his troops to fight against Mobei, the land in the south of the Yangtze River never lost its chain.

He has always been able to provide Zhu Yuanzhang with absolute support in terms of material and objective conditions.

There is a steady stream of food and soldiers.

however.

Before that, did no one try to carry out the Northern Expedition from south to north like Zhu Yuanzhang?
Have!
After the Jin Dynasty, Liu Jinu, who swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger, also carried out the Northern Expedition, but...

He failed!

Some people say that the failure of Liu Yu's Northern Expedition in the Southern Dynasty was due to strategic decisions and improper employment, and also because of the unfavorable northern rangers belonging to Qin after the confrontation between the elite naval forces of the Southern Dynasty and so on.

For these, Chuck does not deny.

but.

In his opinion, there is another fundamental objective reason: the manpower and material resources of the undeveloped Southern Dynasty at that time were simply not enough to support Liu Yu's army to carry out large-scale and long-term expeditionary operations.

Fighting in this situation will lead to an extremely embarrassing situation after Liu Yu leads an army of nearly [-] to occupy Chang'an and Guanzhong:
There are not enough rules for dividing troops, and there is no food for gathering troops.

It is impossible for him to transfer all his family property in the south to the north. After all, the land in the south of the Yangtze River is Liu Yu's basic base, even though he knows that its development potential is not as good as that in the north.

Liu Yu also has no extra food and troops to continue to reinforce Chang'an, maintaining the advantage of foreign wars.

One hundred thousand soldiers conquered Chang'an in Guanzhong. Before the south of the Yangtze River was fully developed, the daily loss of horse chews and food transportation alone had already nearly collapsed the logistics of the Southern Dynasty.

What is fought in war is logistics. This sentence is applicable to any dynasty.

In a dilemma, how did Liu Yu's Northern Expedition remain undefeated?
It is inevitable that Chang'an gains and loses.

Under the same circumstances, let’s look at the Northern Expedition during the establishment of the Ming Dynasty and the initial period.

Xu Da and Chang Yuchun were ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang to lead an army of 25 in the Northern Expedition to Yuandadu.

Sapphire led 15 Ming troops to the north into the desert and fought a decisive battle in Xiaoyuerhai.

The two Northern Expeditions lasted for more than a year each. Later generations have never seen records about the expedition of the army and the lack of food and logistics in the history books of the Ming Dynasty.

Give another example.

During the period of Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, the Ming army raised hundreds of thousands of troops five times to conquer Mongolia in the north, and still created the prosperous age of Yongle.

Han Dynasty period.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made several northern expeditions to the Xiongnu, not only wiped out the family fortunes of the two emperors Han Xiaowen and Han Xiaojing, which made the common people miserable, but also forced Liu Che to commit crimes in his later years.

Get to the bottom of it.

The big reason is that during the Han Dynasty during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and the period of the Southern Dynasty under Liu Yu, the land in the south of the Yangtze River had not been fully developed and could not support a large stall.

Especially in the Han Dynasty and Western Han Dynasty, not only could it not be supported, but it was also suspected of being hindered.

in the courtyard.

Zhuge Liang looked at Chuck...

"It is impossible to conquer the north from the south now, but it will be possible after thousands of years?"

Zhuge Liang frowned and whispered, somewhat unacceptable to Chuck's remarks.

Who can say what will happen thousands of years later!
Zhuge Liang can't afford to wait!

You can't let him leave his words in the grave, waiting to tell future generations about a person whose wisdom is comparable to his, and let that person help verify the possibility of three-point world, and then conquer the north with the south!

Who would come to his Zhuge Liang's grave without any problems?

Looking at Zhuge Liang who was in entanglement, Chuck chuckled for a while, and picked up the three stones at his feet and placed them in front of him, laying them out in a three-legged posture.

Then, he picked up a branch and drew a simple map of the big man on the ground.

"Kong Ming, dare to deduce the north-south conquest with me here!"

"it is good!"

Without hesitation, Zhuge Liang returned to Chuck and sat down.

Chuck pointed to the three stones and the map on the ground and said: "As you said, the southeast is one foot, representing Jiangdong Sun Ce."

"Jingzhou, Yizhou, and the southwest are one foot, representing you and your future Ming Lord!"

"The big river in the middle represents the Yangtze River!"

"I am facing each other across the river, sitting in the north, either representing Yuan Shao, or representing Cao Cao...or..."

Chuck smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Forget it, Ce is not used to representing others, I should represent myself, what does Kong Ming think?"

"Yes!" Zhuge Liang couldn't find any faults, and nodded in agreement.

"Just agree!" Looking at Zhuge Liang who was getting into the urn, Chuck continued to count: "It's not good to have a lottery because it's a deduction."

"How about this... If you, Kong Ming, win me, I will leave tomorrow morning and I will not bother you anymore. If you lose, Kong Ming..."

Chuck said finally, smiling without saying a word.

Zhuge Liang understood what Chuck meant.

He smiled confidently: "If Liang loses, he should worship the young master as the master, and go down the mountain with the young master."

As soon as Zhuge Liang said this, Chuck was determined.

Afterwards, Chuck grabbed a handful of dead grass and casually placed it on the side representing the horizontal line of the Yangtze River.

"Kong Ming, I use grass and trees as my soldiers. Chen Zhongyuan has 80 soldiers in the north of the great river. If you want to drink horses south of the Yangtze River, how do you break them?"

As soon as Chuck came up to stud's behavior directly, Zhuge Liang was dumbfounded.

Just when he subconsciously wanted to unite Jingzhou, Yizhou, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Jiangdong to fight against him, Zhuge Liang was suddenly stunned.

the reason is simple.

The soldiers of Yizhou are far away in Sichuan and Shu, and it is impossible to dispatch them from thousands of miles away.

In fact, the two-legged soldiers and horses represented by him and Sun Ce that can be mobilized add up to 20 and it has come to an end.

It's not that I don't want to gather more.

But Jingzhou and Jiangdong can only recruit and raise so many soldiers and horses, and any more will hurt the foundation.

Noticing Zhuge Liang's expression, Chuck chuckled softly: "Kong Ming, it seems that you have noticed it too!"

　Haha, this one is really not water. I am afraid that everyone will not understand the idea of ​​conquering the north from the south at the end of the Han Dynasty, so I said more!
