Chapter 117 Deduction and Judgment
"What's wrong with the general?"
Seeing that Li Xiu wanted to speak but stopped, Li Zhi finally couldn't help asking.
"I have an idea, but I'm not very mature yet. Let's think about it carefully when Li."
"The young one won't bother the general. If the general has something to do, send someone to notify the young one."
After saying that, Li Zhi bowed and left the handsome account.
At this time, Li Xiu frowned and stood in the tent. What he was thinking about was whether to report his guess. If it was reported, what arguments should he use to support his predictions or guesses.
After all, even if it is just a guess, although Zhu Youjian can pay attention to it, the major affairs in the court are not decided by Zhu Youjian. Since he chose Zhu Youjian, he naturally has to consider Zhu Youjian a little.
Otherwise, it would be a joke to ask Zhu Youjian to take him to the court for the public to discuss with him!
It is not a good thing for Zhu Youjian and himself.
After thinking for a while, Li Xiuxing went to the table, bent down and took out a rolled-up map from under the table, and then spread it out carefully on the table.
The map of the universe of the Ming Dynasty!
When the map is spread out, these five big words are clearly reflected in your eyes.
There is no doubt that just by looking at these five words, you can see the importance of this map.
Not to mention the garrisons and checkpoints in various places in the Ming Dynasty that were clearly marked on the map.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the Later Jin Dynasty had this map, the entire Ming Dynasty would have almost become one-way transparency for them!
If any rebel gets it, as long as there is a little military knowledge, the road to rebellion will definitely be like a tiger. If you can't make a name for it, you will be sorry for the existence of this map.
This map could appear here, of course, because Li Xiu reviewed Zhu You. The palace painter who was responsible for replicating this map was probably turned into bones.
Although the map is called the Ming Dynasty Qiankun Map, it is naturally not the only territory map currently controlled by the Ming Dynasty.
After all, the ideas of this era are completely different from those of the later generations, and the struggle for an inch of land is completely different.
In this era, the central empire paid attention to the kingly land under the world, and the kingly ministers under the shores of the earth!
It is about the world no matter where it is, it is all about land! For example, the rampant Jin Dynasty in the future has long become a confidant, but in the eyes of the literati and officials of the Ming Dynasty, they are still uncivilized barbarians.
This idea has been like this since ancient times!
Therefore, above this map, there are naturally not only the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Wherever the Ming Dynasty once went, it is reflected in this map, and it may even be called a world map, which may be more suitable.
"If this map is passed down to future generations, it will probably be a well-deserved national treasure!"
Looking at the map in front of him, this idea suddenly popped up in Li Xiu's mind.
Thinking of this, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile. Speaking of which, many of the things he came into contact with can be said to be priceless treasures in later generations, such as the Yongle Ceremony in the inner palace arsenal, such as the letters of Wang Yangming, and the picture of the Ming Dynasty...
Not too much!
I put this idea behind my mind and looked around the map, and finally frozen it at the junction of the Mongolian grassland and the Ming Dynasty on the map.
Place names circulate in my mind, and at this moment, a brainstorm started.
War deduction!
He wanted to find the facts that could be supported for his guess, or to find enough facts that made the court worry about.
It was unknown how long it took for Li Xiu's almost frozen body to move. Finally, the playbook was presented, and the brush and ink were splashed, and the strong and powerful fonts also appeared on the playbook.
"Sage Gong'an, the last general Li Xiu dared to report, and the Later Jin Dynasty sent troops..."
When the last word was finished, Li Xiu let out a long sigh, glanced at the memoir, and then looked outside the tent: "Come!"
As the sound fell, the curtain was immediately lifted, and two guards walked in quickly and half knelt on the ground.
"General!"
"You two, hurry back to the capital and send this memorial to His Majesty for review!"
"Abide by the order!"
The soldiers received the order and took the sealed memorial book and quickly withdrew from the commander's tent.
However, Li Xiu couldn't help looking at the map again, and the urgency in his heart became stronger and stronger.
The so-called factual support is simply too much for the border defense system that has been full of loopholes in the Ming Dynasty.
Even in Li Xiu's view, if he led tens of thousands of cavalry to break through the pass, not to mention directly subverting the Ming Dynasty's rule in the north, at least the results of the war can far exceed the results of the Later Jin Dynasty's first horse-trapping the Central Plains in history!
Even if he only led the more than 10,000 soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion, he would definitely give the Ming Dynasty a ruthless move!
Of course, things cannot be compared in this way. After all, his understanding of the Ming Dynasty is beyond the reach of the Later Jin Dynasty.
Just this map of the Ming Dynasty is definitely not something that the Later Jin Dynasty can obtain.
The most important point in war is to control the situation of our enemy and us.
At present, Li Xiu was not sure whether the Later Jin Dynasty sent troops to Mongolia this time to create conditions for detours to the Mongolian horses to step on the Central Plains, but the only thing that is certain is that once the guess comes true, a scene in history will definitely be repeated.
With the current defense system with many loopholes in the Ming Dynasty, it will definitely not stop the tens of thousands of Later Jin Iron Cavalry from the way in!
Of course, this system that has been deteriorated from the inside out cannot be improved by changing a few generals or sending a few battalions of troops.
When Li Xiu wrote that memorial, he just wanted to take a chance.
As the saying goes, it is better to seek oneself than to seek others. Li Xiu naturally would not put his hope in the court. This brave guarding camp is the foundation of his life!
If he really reaches that point, he naturally doesn't want to do anything mediocrely, and confirm that history will be staged again!
And if he wants to change, the only thing he can rely on is the Yongwei Camp!
"Cabinet training, auxiliary training..."
"This war also needs to end as soon as possible..."
His eyes were frozen on this map of the Ming Dynasty, and thoughts were also flashing in his mind.
The deduction of the war has been completed long ago. Li Xiu knew that if the guess came true, he would not have much time.
You should know that so far, there has not been any news of Nurhaci's death from illness in the Later Jin Dynasty. Obviously, history has been forked again.
This means that Huang Taiji led his troops to conquer Mongolia was definitely under the instructions of Nurhaci.
However, Nurhaci is still there, which means that the Later Jin Dynasty has temporarily no turbulent power of the alternation of old and new in history, and can do its best to the outside world under the control of Nurhaci.
Whether it is Nurhaci's prestige in the Later Jin Dynasty or his control over the Later Jin Dynasty, it is by no means comparable to Huang Taiji in history. Under such circumstances, breaking through the pass is definitely much more difficult than Huang Taiji led his army to break through the pass and his troops to the capital in history!
The most favorable time for the Later Jin army is the autumn harvest, where food and grass are everywhere. Under the surprise attack, it can be said that it is the request of the Later Jin army. This can greatly reduce the logistical pressure of the Later Jin army. If you simply plunder, you can also gain more results!
Now, it is still the end of the sixth year of the Tianqi period, and it is only half a year before the autumn harvest in the first year of Chongzhen!
Chapter completed!
