Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 150 A Possibility

There is silence.

Zhu Youxiao spoke in a low tone, but it was enough for everyone to hear. Chen Ce, Tong Zhongkui, Qi Jin, Qin Bangping and other generals all showed different expressions.

Yes, Ming Dynasty can no longer afford to lose on the battlefield.

"This map of the entire Liao Dynasty must be familiar to all the ministers, right?"

Zhu Youxiao walked forward, raised his riding whip, pointed at the map ahead, and said to the generals behind him: "The simple war sand table in front of us is based on the map of the whole Liao Dynasty, and also refers to some memorials and documents. Presented for construction.

It not only shows the Ming Dynasty's military garrison in various parts of Liaodong, but also the jurisdiction of various military preparation roads, the distribution of garrison posts, cities, mountains, rivers, etc.

The Mongolian tribes such as Karaqin, Inner Khalkha, Horqin, and Chahar adjacent to western Liaoning are also marked. However, the size of the army and the scope of influence of this part are all estimated.

And here is part of the Liao territory invaded by Jianlu.

As for this area, it is the area of ​​influence occupied by the Jianlu. The Ming Dynasty repeatedly said that it would suppress the Jianlu rebellion and restore peace to the Liao region.

However, there is too little information about the true military situation of this convict domestic slave, and even other forces around Liao. "

At this moment, the following generals gathered around the war sand table, which occupied a large area. They looked at the parameters clearly marked on it, and they all showed different expressions.

They were all very familiar with the hanging map of the entire Liao Dynasty.

When they were in the Xishan and Fengtai camps, someone from the inner court gave this map, which was compiled and drawn by Zhou Yongchun, the former governor of Liaodong. They used this map as the standard and were ordered to review the Battle of Sarhu again and again, and then Find the root cause of defeat.

It was through such war reviews again and again that many points that had been ignored in the past were unearthed bit by bit, and a very clear war model was clarified.

It is not terrible to lose a battle, but it is terrible to fail to learn lessons.

Eunuchs such as Liu Ruoyu and Han Zanzhou had already retreated to far away places at that time, and important matters such as the meeting with Liao Dynasty were not something they could listen to.

However, seeing the different expressions of the generals gathered around the war sand table made Liu Ruoyu and Han Zanzhou ponder in their hearts.

"How do you feel when you see this war sandbox in front of you?"

Zhu Youxiao put down his riding whip, held his hands on the edge of the wooden desk, and looked around the generals with firm eyes, "In the past, the country used to smash millions of taels, millions of taels, on this black land over a long period of time." Yin Zi, but what about the Liao Dynasty? Not only has there not been much change or improvement, but on the contrary, the situation has become increasingly bad and tense."

"I often think in my heart, why is so much money thrown away? How can the country default on so much military pay? Could it be that it goes into the pockets of some people?"

"There is a big fish hidden in Liaodong! This is what I say to you all from the bottom of my heart. If I don't talk about some things and explain them thoroughly, I can't make you all alert. I won't send you to lead my troops to help. Liao’s.”

"Do you know why?"

"You are all the fierce generals and tiger generals recognized by me, the pillars of the Ming Dynasty's army, and the pillars in my eyes. I don't want to see you lead the Ming Dynasty athletes to aid the Liao Dynasty with passion, only to be defeated by some guys in the end. Tricked to death!!”

Zhu Youxiao's words made all the generals present have different expressions. They did not expect that the emperor would say so straightforwardly.Although they all knew some facts, they did not dare to tell them.

Among the generals of the Ming Dynasty, there were a group of people who were not afraid of war or the establishment of captives, but they also had some fear in their hearts.

Afraid of being cheated.

Zhu Youxiao knows this better than anyone else. If he wants to win the battle of Liaozuo, some things must be discussed and some things must be said thoroughly. At least he must unify the thoughts of the generals in Xishan and Fengtai camps and let them know in their hearts that it is what happened.

Otherwise, it would be like a meat bun beating a dog, and there will be no return!
"Before talking about aiding the Liao Dynasty, I want to conduct a war game with the ministers."

Zhu Youxiao knocked on the wooden table, walked towards one place, picked up a long stick, and said to the generals in front of him: "I am here to be a prisoner, and you will be the commander of Liaodong. Xiong Tingbi will see if he is there." I condemn your ministers for leading their troops to aid the Liao Dynasty. If a war really breaks out on the Liaozuo front line, what kind of situation will the Ming Dynasty face on the Liaozuo front line? Your ministers must not have any scruples, let alone show mercy, because on the battlefield, Ming Dynasty can no longer afford to lose."

The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and fighter planes are fleeting. Things like talking about war on paper are not real wars in the final analysis.

However, things like war chess deductions can deduce countless possibilities before the war actually comes, and then initially formulate corresponding war predictions based on these possibilities. This is very necessary!
"The Ming army lost control of Kaiyuan, Tieling, Fushun Pass and other places, and the fortress of Shenyang in the left Liao Dynasty was exposed to the powerful forces of the Eight Banners. The Ming army turned to the defensive in Liao to preserve the stability of southern Liao. Liaoyang must be stable, and the stability of Liaoyang requires the stability of Shenyang. Such strategically defended important places, such as Fengji Fort, Hupiyi, Hunhe River, etc., must be important places for the Ming army to gather, and then form an interaction with Shenyang. For the power of the horns..."

"The army of Jianlu is strong, but our army is by no means without advantages. In Fengjibao, Hupiyi and other places, we have stationed various strong troops to aid the Liao Dynasty. Secondly, we dug trenches and built native soldiers according to the terrain. Fortress, if you want to encircle Shenyang City, the rebels must first remove key areas on the front line, otherwise the flanks will be unstable and the supply of food routes cannot be guaranteed..."

"It is indeed difficult to gain an advantage with ordinary tactics. Then, if we combine false and true tactics with uncertain exchanges, we can find out the true and false status of the Ming army, paralyze the Ming army, and bypass the key passes in front of the defense of Shenyang City, forming a pincer attack on Shenyang City... "

"This is unrealistic and impossible. The city of Shenyang has high walls and thick walls. Not only are there a large number of elites stationed there, but also Liaodong Economic Strategy is in charge. Even if the main force of Jianlu invades Shenyang by land and water, as long as it can withstand Jianlu's offensive, another The cavalry dispatched various ministries, relying on the advantages of Shenyang City, and then formed an internal and external pincer attack on the invading prisoners..."

"Don't forget, the Eight Banners' strong jaws are by no means a decoration. At the same time, there are hidden hidden stakes planted in Shenyang City. Your Ming army is indeed very strong, relying on the advantages of Shenyang Chongqing, but..."

In the internal teaching field, various voices kept ringing out. The opinions put forward by Zhu Youxiao gradually frightened the generals present. The virtual and real attacks were carried out simultaneously by land and water. They attacked Shenyang in a flash, instigated rebellion, and the espionage war was a This series of measures allowed the Ming army to ruthlessly remove the fig leaf from the so-called advantage it still had in Liaozuo.

Even during the battle on the Liaozuo front line, Zhu Youxiao exposed various hidden dangers of the Ming army in various parts of Liaodong one by one, which made the generals present feel even heavier.

War game deductions were being carried out time and time again on the war sandbox in front of them, and an extremely clear and cruel fact was placed in front of the generals.

Chen Ce, Tong Zhongkui, Qi Jin, Qin Bangping, He Kegang, Man Gui, Cao Wenzhao, Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji and other generals all found it difficult to believe that if the Ming Dynasty really fought against Jianlu on the Liaozuo front, the odds of winning would be extremely low. So outrageous.

No one accepts this cruel fact!
Seeing the reaction of the generals, Zhu Youxiao didn't show anything. Although it was difficult to accept this fact, the reality was so cruel.

This is how Ming Dynasty was defeated.

Not only did the civil servants of Liao give blind orders and interfere randomly, but there were also those who were afraid of war among the generals of Liao. Not to mention that during the turmoil of the Liao Dynasty, there were already signs that the Liao people were afraid of building captives.

Xiong Tingbi's military literacy is very strong, and he has a relatively full understanding and understanding of the overall situation in Liao Dynasty, but he is still a person after all.

Although there are great differences and contradictions within the Jianlu, it is undeniable that the personal charm of the slave chief Nurhaci is extremely strong.

Especially when the war started, the Jianlu internal conflicts and differences could be temporarily put aside and participate in the war with one heart and one mind.

What about inside the Ming army?
It’s not just as simple as factions, but also hidden differences in interests and ideas. If fists collide with palms, fists will definitely win!
