Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 437 Strategic Plan for the Next Year

This year.

It turned out that in the past year, Zhu Min had made countless achievements, countless.

There are also large areas of open territory and split soil.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy and did not hesitate to recall the kings and princesses to celebrate the whole country.

As a result, the news of the destruction of the Goryeo Kingdom cast a layer of gloom on many people's minds.

Originally, this incident had nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty. In the final analysis, it was just a vassal country that was destroyed.

But the problem is that the King of Dian actually planned to use troops to attack the Goryeo rebel Li Chenggui, and even prepared to use troops against the three Jurchen tribes.

It seems that next year will also be eventful.

By the way, won’t the Dian King be tired?

As if being held hostage by two old men, Zhu Ming was taken all the way to Wei Guogong Xu's Mansion.

Just kidding, that’s not how you use a cannon to kill mosquitoes.

Sending hundreds of thousands of people into battle at every turn? Think you're going on a trip?

Xu Da glanced at Zhu Xi, "Is the emperor going to conquer it himself?"
Originally, Zhu Zhen had his own carriage, but in the end he was summoned by Xu Da.

"I have to call my seventeenth brother," Zhu Zhen also became serious and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to personally control this battle, so I can only use my fourth brother and seventeenth brother as the commanders."

Although Goryeo was only a small country, civil strife had just occurred, and even the country's title was in name only.

Isn't he afraid at all?

Zhu Chu looked at Mu Qiu and said, "Look, my father-in-law is so domineering."

For some, war is dangerous and deadly.

It would be better to let him take the throne directly.

But for the Korean Peninsula, even Li Shimin of the Sui and Tang Dynasties suffered heavy losses.

After receiving the news, Xu Miaojin and Tang Xin greeted him at the door in advance, but instead of welcoming Zhu Xi, they took Mu Qiu to Xu Miaojin's small courtyard.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang said so.

But for others, is war not an opportunity?

Even Tang He and Xu Da waited outside the palace gate, waiting for Zhu Chu to finally get rid of his father Zhu Yuanzhang and come out of the palace with Mu Qiu.

Zhu Ming looked at the three women's leaving figures, hoping very much that he could go with them.

What military generals worry about most is that there will be no battles to fight. In that case, they will have no place to fight.

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, pointed at Zhu Li, smiled and shook his head.

War kills people.

"Old Shiba, are you too anxious? Sooner or later, my father will officiate your wedding, don't worry," Zhu Di joked, standing aside at some point.

On the way, Tang He also got in.

Alas, why isn't their daughter accompanying him?
Of course Xu Miaojin and Tang Xin also went to the palace to attend the dinner, but they just took a step ahead and returned home early.

Then it moved to the Mongolian grassland battlefield, and an even more terrifying battle broke out, involving two million people.

In the past year, he entered Tibet from Yunnan. The entire Western Region was in chaos and was beaten by him.

"Don't be such a talker," Xu Da scolded angrily: "Your fourth brother should have gone to the house in advance. Along with your Uncle Tang. This matter cannot be taken lightly."

Before the carriage could stop, Zhu Quan jumped out of the carriage.

Looking at the two old men in front of him, Zhu Ming felt helpless.

Precisely because Goryeo is not a big place, it is impossible to prepare an army of 500,000 troops like this time when entering the grassland.

You know, how many people have fought in ancient times.

Zhu Chu had no choice but to let Mu Qiu follow him in his own carriage.

He had just finished dealing with his old man, but he was targeted by two more father-in-laws.

How much manpower and material resources will be wasted?

After a while, another carriage came over. It was none other than Ning Wang Zhu Quan.

Zhu Ming smiled bitterly and said: "Fourth brother, you are so full that you don't know how hungry you are. You already have three eldest sons, but I don't have one yet."

In fact, everyone knows that once Zhu Yuanzhang issues the decree again, it will be a formal wedding, instead of just conferring the title of a partial concubine to Mu Qiu like before, but not yet getting married.

So Xu Da felt that he and Tang He had to keep this kid in check.

This is not the first time that Zhu Chu has come. He is already familiar with him, so there is no need to greet him.

But Zhu Yuanzhang also said that if he wanted to grant a marriage, he should give Zhu Yu a reward for his merits.

If Zhu Chu also capsizes in this gutter, it will be a huge blow to his reputation.

It is impossible for them to be together with Zhu Zhen now.

"Get in the car," Xu Da reached out to open the curtains and greeted casually.

In fact, he is only a seventeen-year-old young man, only one year older than Zhu Chu.

"Fourth brother, Lao Shiba," Zhu Quan greeted the two brothers first, and then nodded to Xu Da and Tang He.

After all, he is not the second husband's son-in-law, so he must be polite, and there is no need to be too polite or unfamiliar with him.

Xu Da also had two sons-in-law, one was King Zhu Gui and the other was King An Zhu Ying.

The latter is still young and has not yet been married to the third sister of the Xu family, but is only engaged.

As for the former, he plans to return home with his concubine Xu Erjie again on New Year's Day.

"Speaking of which, do you want to call Lao Fifteen?" Zhu Di thought for a while and said.

"Who?" Zhu Zhen was stunned for a moment at first.

Zhu Di said with a black line on his head: "Your fifteenth brother, King Zhu Zhi of Liao."

Zhu Zhi was originally named King of Wei in the 11th year of Hongwu, and later changed to King of Liao. He was one of the original nine Great Sai Kings.

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted Zhu Zhi to rule Liao.

But later, Zhu Quan was named King Ning and sent to Daning, where he commanded the three Duoyan guards.

It is equivalent to saying that the Liao land currently occupied by the three guards of Duoyan is guarded by the king of Liao and the king of Ning.

Just because the palace of the King of Liao has not been completed yet, it is temporarily stationed in Daling Hebei instead of in the feudal country.

Zhu Ming thought for a while and said: "No need. If it is time to send out troops, it will be enough to have two soldiers and horses, the fourth brother and the seventeenth brother. At most, it is enough to remind the fifteenth brother and let him station in the rear. Many times it is not human. The more, the better. Three kings lead three armies, but it is easy to make mistakes. "

For example, before, after Zhu Zhen divided his troops, he did not care about the operations of other troops.

He doesn't want to be a micromanager.

Don’t be suspicious of people you use. Don’t be suspicious of others.

The commander-in-chief of an army must have absolute power. Otherwise, how can we fight if we cannot take care of both the beginning and the end?
What's more, Zhu Zhen is also worried that once the army guarding the border takes the initiative to attack, what if people from outside take advantage of this opportunity and sneak in?
Once Shanhaiguan is broken, they can drive straight into the hinterland of the Central Plains, even Yanjing is in danger.

Zhu Di thought for a while, nodded, and admitted that Zhu Xi was right. When the time comes, he really needs a trustworthy person to guard the rear.

Then everyone entered the house, came to the lobby, and started talking about how to use troops against Goryeo and Jurchen.

Zhu Ming had previously seen the strength of Zhu Di and Zhu Quan, as well as the combat capabilities of the two armies.

Not to mention Zhu Quan's three guards of Duoyan, those Jurchens are all brave cavalry who are good at conquering and fighting. The Jurchens once established the Jin Kingdom, even wiped out the Liao Kingdom, and conquered the entire Mongolian grassland.

If the Jin State had not oppressed the Mongols too hard at that time, leading to the rise of Genghis Khan, I am afraid that the Jin State would have been glorious for a while.

After the rise of the Mongols, the only ones who can threaten the Mongols are probably these Jurchens.

After all, in history, the Jurchens conquered Mongolia again during the Nurhaci period and even established the Eight Mongolian Banners.

This is evident from the fact that the Jin people conquered Mongolia twice in history.

Therefore, there is no doubt about the combat effectiveness of Duoyan Sanwei.

The Yanjing subordinates led by Zhu Di were trained and equipped by Xu Da back then. After so many years, they are also experienced soldiers and strong generals in the battlefield.

In addition, Zhu Chu could bring back millions of horses from the Mongolian grassland this time, which was enough to convert all Zhu Di's troops into cavalry.

"Fourth brother, I want you to preside over the expedition against the Jurchen Trilogy. What do you think?" Zhu Zhen asked without raising his head while spreading the map on the table.

Zhu Di's heart moved and he was overjoyed to agree. "Old Shiba, are you afraid that our Duoyan Sanwei might rebel?" Zhu Quanpi looked at Zhu Xi with a smile, and reminded: "Don't forget, it was my brother who reminded you in the first place. Those who are not of my race must have different intentions. Do you believe that I can control the Three Guards of Duoyan? They dare to rebel?"

"You misunderstood," Zhu Zhen looked at Zhu Quan and said calmly and seriously: "You two are commanders of the army, but the fourth brother is responsible for the task of conquering the Jurchens, and the seventeenth brother, what you say, I I want you to lead your troops straight into the heart of Korea Island, and I want you to completely conquer Korea Island.”

Zhu Quan's expression softened slightly.

What he cared about was nothing else but fear that Zhu Ming wouldn't trust him.

After all, Lao Shiba is the future emperor. Once he is jealous of the emperor, what will happen?
What's more, Zhu Quan thought he could talk to Lao Shiba very well and was relatively close, so he was a little dissatisfied.

Then Zhu Min continued: "And once the Seventeenth Brother sets off and prepares to lead his army deep into the Korean Peninsula, the Jurchen Tribe will definitely get the news. As long as they dare to make a move, the Fourth Brother will set up some ambushes at this time, and they will be able to catch them off guard. ”

If the two armies are fighting and do not kill the envoy, I am afraid that Li Chenggui's envoy will not be detained for too long.

What's more, money can make people go around, say ugly words, news is like fire, and paper cannot contain the fire.

Unless he sends troops now, Li Chenggui will get the news sooner or later.

When the time comes, Li Chenggui will definitely form an alliance with the Jurchen Tribe in the face of the threat from the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that neither Li Chenggui nor the three Jurchens would have thought that Zhu Zhen had not taken them seriously from the beginning.

Therefore, Zhu Chu actually planned to conduct two fronts at the same time. One force penetrated into the heart of the Korean Peninsula, and the other force was to conquer the Jurchens.

If the three Jurchen tribes rush to rescue Li Chenggui, or if they want to take the opportunity to plunder the three tribes of Duoyan Guards, that is, Liao Di.

Then they are waiting to suffer big losses.

"You only have your own subordinates, but don't worry, I have a big treasure for you." Zhu Xi did not plan to add more troops to Zhu Di and Zhu Quan, but he could give each of them one hundred of the two hundred artillery pieces.

In addition, Zhu Zhen will write a letter to Yunnan when he returns, trying to transport enough firepower equipment from Simodian within a month.

If it really doesn't work, he has to use his huge resources at all costs.

Therefore, this battle was not taken seriously by Zhu Zhen at all.

Zhu Chu raised his head and glanced at Zhu Quan.

"What? Are you afraid that we won't be able to defeat Li Chenggui?" Zhu Quan raised his eyebrows.

"Brother, did you drink too much tonight, or did you take gunpowder? Why are you so angry?" Zhu Ming rolled his eyes angrily.

Zhu Quan immediately said: "Who is to blame? You will be the emperor in the future. Can I not be afraid that you will wear small shoes for me in the future?"

"It's all my fault for co-writing?" Zhu Zhen was speechless. Since you know you are afraid that I will put your shoes on, why don't you just talk to me?

Xu Da and Tang He looked at each other and were shocked.

In fact, they had a tacit understanding with Zhu Yuanzhang for a long time, and understood that Zhu Yuanzhang secretly planned to support Zhu Zhen.

But now seeing Zhu Quan blurting out that Zhu Ming would be the emperor in the future, Zhu Di also acquiesced.

Could it be that something happened at their royal family banquet the day before yesterday that the outside world didn't know about?
At the same time, the two princes, who were also veteran generals, saw with their own eyes that the three brothers of the Zhu family finalized the strategic plan on how to conquer the Korean Peninsula and the three Jurchen tribes, seemingly in an understatement. They always felt old.

"Is it that simple?"

The Second Duke was deeply confused. This was a war to destroy a country. Is it that simple?

"What's so difficult about this?" Zhu Ming smiled confidently and said, "The trophies I brought back from the Mongolian grasslands are still on the way. In addition to one million good horses and horses, there are also one million cattle and one million sheep. These can be taken by the two brothers at will."

"Furthermore, the three Hulunbuir units did not participate in the previous grassland war. This time we can let them participate in the war together."

"They are just a group of savages (Jurchens), nothing to mention."

"Brother Four, Brother Seventeen, come and see," Zhu Cheng tapped on the map again with his hand.

With the current Jurchens' sphere of influence, in addition to the Liao Dynasty forces of Duoyan Sanwei and the entire Northeast, it even covers the entire map to the seaside.

For example, the later Amur Region, Khabarovsk, even Sakhalin Island, and the entire Primorsky Krai are now the territories of the three Jurchen tribes.

There is even a sea area between Sakhalin and Sakhalin called the Tatar Strait.

This area was once conquered by the Mongols and later belonged to the Jurchens.

Zhu Ming looked at Zhu Di and Zhu Quan and said, "Do you see the next goal?"

"Japanese country."

The two brothers said what Zhu Zhen wanted to say together.

That's right.

Except for Li Chenggui of Korea Island and the Three Jurchen Parts.

Zhu Li actually planned to eat the Japanese island in one go.

"Fourth Brother, after you set foot on this small island (Sakhalin Island), Seventeenth Brother should also be able to go to sea from Korea Island. By then, you will go to the island at the same time, one from the south and the other from the north."

"Mere Japanese people dare to repeatedly invade the border and kill the people of Ming Dynasty. I want them to pay a hundred times the price. This race is inherently guilty, and they will be killed when they should be killed, and they must not be tolerated."

"The same is true for these Jurchens and Koreans. Now that we are strong, we will crush the past with overwhelming force. Those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish. When our Central Plains dynasty was weak, whether it was the Jin people or the Mongols, Have you ever shown mercy to us?"

"If anyone resists and wants to test the sharpness of our knives, then as they wish, try and die."

Zhu Ming's understatement made Xu Da, Tang and Ergong shudder.

God knows how many people will die in this battle.

Last year, the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, Zhu Ji received one million force points, which also meant that one million enemies died alone.

That's a million lives.

And wait until next year, once the war breaks out, how many casualties will there be?

Zhu Zhen even wanted to spend one million force points so that he could open the bloodline of the Dao Holy Body or the Human Race Holy Body.

The Holy Body of the Great Dao can be favored by the Great Dao, which not only makes cultivation more effective with half the effort, but also makes it easier to overcome tribulations.

The human holy body can obtain the blessings of human luck, practice quickly, and have constant good luck, and is favored and admired by all people.

It's equivalent to maxing out your personality charm.

The force value store also has many abilities that can enhance personal force, and there are even countless super powers.

But the two bloodlines that Zhu Ming valued the most were those of two bloodlines. One was favored by the Great Dao, and the other was blessed with the luck of the human race.

Zhu Chu's current force value totals 1,361,000. You can imagine how many enemies he and his troops have killed in the past year.

The foundation-building mental technique only requires 200,000 force points, and there are no signs of breakthrough yet, so Zhu Chu can afford a luxury.

What's more, when the war resumes next year, there will be countless military force values ​​recorded.

No, wait.

Zhu Ming suddenly remembered that he was not the Emperor of Ming Dynasty yet, but a prince like Zhu Di and Zhu Quan.

Next year, he will not be able to lead a personal expedition. In that case, whether it is an expedition to Korea, the Three Jurchens, or preparations for a massacre on the Japanese island, it will have nothing to do with him.

How much does this cost?

Zhu Xi looked at the map and began to fall into deep thought.

The goals for the coming year are mainly the northeast and southeast fronts, but he has never forgotten the southwest and Southeast Asian countries.

And after the collapse of the Timur Empire, it will directly border the Golden Horde and the Arab tribes, and may even have a fight with the Ottoman Empire. Even further away, there is Byzantium, which is the Eastern Roman Empire.

If the war continues, even the Holy Roman Empire will start a war. Once it leaves Asia, it will either reach the Middle East, the African continent, or head to the European continent.

Thinking that the Hundred Years War between England and France is still going on, Joan of Arc may not even be born yet.

Thinking of the future Tsarist Empire, it is still just the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

And now the whole world has not started to speed up. Even the so-called Age of Discovery will not come until a century or even two centuries later.

Zhu Zhen became more and more excited.

The whole world is like an undefended beauty, waiting for his luck and conquest.

As a man, how can you not be excited? How could it wither?

"We don't want to witness an era, we want to create an era. Two brothers, this is just the beginning," Zhu Zhen finally pressed his hand on the map. This is the world map, and it is also his huge ambition.

"As a man, if you don't be ambitious once in your life, wouldn't it be a waste?"

"You go out and break up the territory. My brother, I will give you my absolute support later. And the territory we conquer will be divided between us brothers from now on."

"We are all a family. We can talk about anything and talk about anything."
