Facing the upcoming world war, the aggressive Ming Dynasty Alliance approached 1.5 million troops. After frightening the officials, Lu Mou showed them the confidence of his army and what it means to be confident.

"The weakest enemy we face now is Zhang Xianzhong. According to his mission of forming an alliance with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he will leave the pass and capture Shaanxi."

Zhang Maochen, commander of the Second Army defending Shaanxi, stood up: "If we face Zhang Xianzhong alone, Weichen is confident that we only need one division to block him in Sichuan. And I will use another division to rely on the natural dangers of Tongguan , to ensure that Li Chuang cannot step into Shaanxi."

Lu Mou smiled and nodded: "I firmly believe in this."

Then he pointed to Jiangnan: "The second mortal enemy is Li Chuang. Because he formed an alliance with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty promised him not to occupy Shaanxi again. Then Li Chuang will definitely send troops to Shaanxi to regain his home base."

Zhang Huangyan assured with confidence: "Without carrying out an annihilating attack on Li Chuang, my Jiangnan Group Army only needs half of it, 50,000 men, and with the support of the Jiangnan Navy, we can stop Li Chuang from taking an inch." Gu. If the troops are not transferred back, Wei Chen can guarantee that Li Chuang will be trapped in Huguang and unable to move within half a year."

Lu Mou nodded again: "I have no doubt about this. However, the Manchu troops are too large this time, so I'd better mobilize 50,000 of your group army to serve as the general reserve."

Don't be impulsive. Impulsiveness will cause bad things.

"Then there is North Korea. This time North Korea dispatched a total of 20 troops to join the Manchu and Qing groups. Now North Korea's domestic military strength is extremely empty. It can be described as undefended."

Yu Minzhong immediately stood up and asked for orders: "My navy has been replenished and can take advantage of North Korea's emptiness to destroy him in one fell swoop."

Lu Mou looked at Chongzhen.

Why are you looking at him? Because there is an ancestral shackle that restrains the Ming Dynasty from attacking North Korea. That is the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang said that North Korea and Japan are countries that cannot be conquered.

To destroy North Korea this time, Chongzhen needed to break this shackles.

Chongzhen said with a cold face: "The capricious child has failed our ancestors' love for him. In this case, if we can destroy him, we will destroy him, or at least cripple him."

Lu Mou nodded: "That's how it is. I ordered the Jiangbei Navy to send troops to North Korea. Don't destroy him for the time being. As long as you mobilize the 20 troops he sent to rescue the mainland, I will remember your first contribution."

"Wei Chen obeys your orders."

"What's left is for Shandong and Henan to guard against Li Chuang."

Zheng Hongkui stood up and pledged: "The humble Jiangnan Navy will fully support Gao Jie and will never allow a rogue bandit to cross the Yangtze River and Huaihe River to threaten Shandong."

"I firmly believe that."

Lu Yixing, commander of the First Army, stood up: "Wei Chen will rely on the natural dangers of Huoshan Mountain to use one division to ensure the safety of Henan, and use one division to cooperate with Gao Jie to defend Shandong. I will allocate one division to the prince for deployment."

"Very good, but I order you, if Li Chuang passes through western Henan and attacks Shaanxi, you let him pass and let him go to Tongguan. If you touch him, he will be bloody."

Then facing Zu Dashou: "Can the Duke ensure that our Ming Dynasty and the northwest border of Xuanda will not be harassed by the Manchu lackeys?"

Zu Dashou stood up confidently: "Not only can I ensure the security of the northern border, I can also organize another 300,000 Inner Mongolian troops to join the war at any time."

Lu Mou nodded: "I am very satisfied with your responsibility." Lu Mou then arranged for Zu Dashou: "Assemble the army, I will equip you with swords, guns and armor, quietly open the Black Mountain Pass that I originally sealed, and be ready to attack the Manchus outside the Great Wall at any time. The main camp.”

Now the entire Ming army is lightly armed with firearms, and the bulky armor has restricted the movement of the soldiers. Therefore, except for the steel helmet, the armor that was taken off could only be piled up in the warehouse to get moldy. It was better to give it to Zu Dashou at this critical moment, which could be regarded as a compensatory favor for going to war. This was not bribery, because Lu Mou firmly believed in Zu Dashou's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.

Zu Dashou was overjoyed when he heard this. He stood up again and patted his chest and promised that he would not delay when he received the order to attack.

Wu Xiang also stood up: "Veteran, I will fully supply the army of the father of the motherland, and there is no need for the imperial court to consume any materials except weapons."

After several years of development, Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang almost controlled the entire central Mongolia in Monan, and now they are very strong.

"I thank the Duke of Wu for sharing the burden for the country. However, King Turgut, the Manchu lackey, will definitely participate in the war this time and harass my northern defense line. Therefore, the Duke of the motherland must contain him and absolutely ensure the safety of our northern Shanxi Province. "

Zu Dashou sneered: "I will send 50,000 Mongolian elites from the Zukfa County Prince to keep an eye on him. If he dares to go south to harass, I will seize his royal court."

Ying Shoushan, the commander of the Eighth Army stationed in Shanxi, said with confidence: "Since the father of the motherland can guarantee the safety of my back, I will immediately lead the Eighth Army back to Beijing to listen to the prince's dispatch."

This is the current situation of the Ming Dynasty's army. In the face of war, no one complains, they are all willing to take responsibility for the country and actively seek war.

Lu Mou nodded, and then faced Zhao Youhu, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan: "Your army has been recuperating for many years. This time I order you. Your 2 cavalry will take the initiative to attack and cross the Liao River at all costs. Do not fight. To lead the city, it is best to approach Shengjing, which is already empty of troops, so that Dorgon has to return troops to rescue him. Can you do it?

Zhao Youhu stood up and replied loudly: "I can't guarantee that we will capture the little emperor directly, but if you torment him like crazy and frighten him three times in a day, the general will definitely be able to do it."

Then he handed the baton to Li Yan.

Li Yan interfaced: "This time our strategy is to defend first and then attack. According to the battle reports of the generals, after calculations by the Ministry of War and the General Staff, the number of troops we have in hand to defend the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the north is now 5 Eighth, six army armies were mobilized from Jiangnan, with troops led by Yang Songshan and headed north. The First Army, a division with troops, Wu Sangui and Qi Fei's mobile corps joined the main battlefield. The army will not be on guard against Shaanxi, and the First Army will not be on guard against Henan and Shandong. The Inner Mongolia Army of the Fatherland will be on alert at all times and will immediately go into battle once the military order is received.

In this way, if we include the Inner Mongolia Army of the Fatherland, we will have 770,000 troops. "

Upon hearing this number, all the monarchs and ministers were surprised. When did the Ming Dynasty have so many soldiers under the operation of our regent, and they were all elite and strong troops who dared to fight, were able to fight, and were sure to win.

There are so many soldiers, the so-called Five Kingdoms Allied Forces to Destroy the Ming Dynasty, why am I still afraid of your kidneys? Kill you clown.

"As for the so-called 20 Manchu troops, as long as General Yu's navy succeeds, North Korea will definitely withdraw these servants.

And if General Zhao invades Manchu Liaodong again, Dorgon will inevitably withdraw the Xianghuang Banner to defend Shengjing. Although General Zhao may pay a huge price for this, as long as you mobilize them back, you will be the greatest contributor to the Ming Dynasty. "

Of course Zhao Youhu knew his role, and he promised with a fluttering and Yi Shuihan spirit: "Even if I have only one soldier left, I will resolutely hold back the Manchu Qing's returning troops until the entire battle is won."

Li Yan nodded affirmatively: "After calculating this, the Qing Dynasty's 700,000-strong army only has 450,000 left. We are 750,000, and against 450,000, the advantage is mine."

This reasonable and powerful analysis and arrangement immediately made all the ministers breathe a sigh of relief again.

Lu Mou declared loudly and confidently: "Your Manchu army is twice as large as mine, and I am worried about my Ming army. But you and I have the same military strength, and I am confident to defeat his invasion. I can still defeat you, then I I’m still afraid of you. See if I can’t kill you.”

For a time, all the ministers in the palace were filled with confidence. They are even more convinced that as long as the regent is here, the sky will not fall, and it will become even broader. (End of chapter)
