Chapter 123 Killing three birds with one stone
"Li Dingguo, you led 15,000 soldiers and thought you would go to Meiyusuo and Dongjiazhuang on the left, and then go straight to Bao'anzhou City."
"I led 15,000 people to take the right side to capture the right guard of Yanqing and Yulin Fort, and then seize the Tumu Fort."
As soon as the army left the border town, Zhu Youxiao called Li Dingguo and ordered him.
There is no way, because these border towns have too low combat power, and the army is divided into two, so that precious time and efficiency can be saved.
The most common military forts and garrisons in this kind of border town are only more than a thousand soldiers. How can we stop the army from attacking?
If it weren't for the fact that Mount Tai was pressing down on the top, and to intimidate the enemy and let them collapse without fighting, Zhu Youxiao even wanted to divide the 30,000 guard soldiers into more than five brigades and attack separately to collect the northwest territory of the empire as soon as possible.
"Li Dingguo, remember, you must be ruthless, just one word, hurry!"
When Zhu Youxiao saw Li Dingguo accepting the order, he was splitting the army and continued to emphasize it to him.
The main reason is that time is too urgent, so Zhu Youxiao is not impatient.
The one who was born in the third month of March, the rebels ascended the throne and became emperor, and the one who swore to fight against Wudao was getting closer and closer.
Before that, Zhu Youxiao had to take all the northwest of the empire into full control and control it.
The biggest purpose of this is to completely cut off all connections between the Ming Empire and the northern grasslands.
Only after fully controlling the Northwest of Lin Kingdom can we do it.
A deeper purpose is that Zhu Youxiao knew that the ice age of this era had just arrived and would become more and more intense in the future.
The Ice Age is an irreversible disaster, which is extremely destructive to the original climate and environment of the earth.
Zhu Youxiao was very interested in studying what the Ice Age is.
It turned out that this was the reason for the changes in the earth's orbit.
Under the inexplicable gravitational changes, the earth's autobiographical orbit shifted, and the original magnetic field of Linqiu was greatly changed, which led to the arrival of the so-called "Ice Age".
This ice age has happened several times in history, and has caused extremely serious disasters.
However, the Ice Age will pass quickly, and at most decades, the earth will turn back to its original orbit and rotate, thus ending this mysterious disaster.
In this ice age and an increasingly intense era, as long as the connection between the Ming Empire and the grassland is completely blocked, it is a peerless chess move.
The increasingly surging disaster will cause the grassland peoples in the north of the empire to fail to obtain the material output from the Ming Empire, which will make them collapse without fighting!
This is not a whim.
In fact, this mysterious climate impact of the Ice Age will cause greater harm to the grasslands in the north of the empire.
Most grassland peoples are nomadic peoples, they cannot farm and do not have the ability to produce their own food resources.
They are not farmers and have no resistance to harsh climates when the climate environment is getting worse and worse.
The winter is getting colder and the summer is getting hotter and hotter, which is the obvious characteristic of the Ice Age.
In this extreme natural environment, livestock on the grassland will inevitably die in large quantities, and the rainfall will decrease sharply. On some grasslands, it will become very difficult for people and animals to drink water.
At this time, the grassland people could not even dig wells, and there were not enough tools and materials to dig wells.
From this point of view, if you cannot get the material transactions from the Ming Empire, you will definitely collapse on your own quickly.
Then, they only have two ways to go: one is to attack other tribes and plunder the survival materials and territory of other tribes to meet the survival needs of their own tribes.
Second, launch a large-scale attack on the Ming Empire in the south, in order to invade the Central Plains and occupy the territory of Han Rao, so that they can obtain enough survival supplies and support their tribal population and livestock.
With the strength of the Ming Empire today, I have no choice for the second choice of the grassland tribe.
Because what Zhu Youxiao wanted was that they gathered together and launched an attack on the Ming Empire, so as not to find them even if they wanted to find them.
Because the grasslands in the north of the empire were too large and vast, even if the empire's millions of troops were put in, it would be just a drop in the ocean and could not make any waves.
The grassland nation is a nation on horseback. Almost all of them are elite cavalry. If you can beat you, they will fight.
If they find out they can't beat you, they will run away.
When they were determined to run away, in the vast grassland, you would never catch up with them.
Zhu Youxiao was not worried that they would fight, but was afraid that they would not gather to attack the northern border defense line of the Ming Empire.
As long as they come, Zhu Youxiao is absolutely sure, beat them up, happily collect their cattle, sheep and horses, and smile at the war horses they deliver to their door, and get a large number of free miners. That would be a pleasure.
After destroying the large number of cavalry from these grassland tribes, just build the super official road onto the grassland and build a large farmhouse, and build another city every one or two hundred miles or so.
In this way, the prairie in the north of the empire can be easily incorporated into the empire's territory and turned these prairie into part of the Ming Empire.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao, who had already planned it, is now so eager to send troops to collect and control the northwest of the Ming Empire, which has a variety of plans.
It is not an exaggeration to describe it as three goals in one fell swoop.
First, we eliminated corrupt officials, unscrupulous merchants, local tyrants and evil gentry in the northwest of Linguo, and obtained large tracts of land and a large amount of money and grain.
Second, to resolve the northwest crisis of Lin Kingdom, a large amount of territory can be obtained, which can further promote the implementation and promotion of the two basic national policies of the Ming Dynasty court, and significantly increase the capital and population of the Ming Empire.
The third is the most important thing, which is to kill the northern grassland nations of the Scale Kingdom, continue to develop and grow, and always plan the ambition and sustainable development of the Ming Empire.
Whether they fight to death or annex each other, without the material export of the Ming Empire, these grassland peoples will become increasingly severe as the disasters during the Ice Age will decline very quickly.
In the future, they will no longer pose any threat to the Ming Empire.
"Your Majesty! Take care of yourself! I will meet with Your Majesty on the front lines of Magukou Fort and Chang'anling Fort, and you will not be able to meet with Your Majesty for more than three."
Li Dingguo had divided the soldiers of the 101st Division into two, and before leaving, he guaranteed the road to Zhu Youxiao.
He is now a figure at the level of the absolute core general of the Ming Empire and has the right to check a large amount of military intelligence. He knows how relaxed the military towns, garrisons and military equipment in the northwest of the Ming Empire are now.
It is appropriate to describe it as vulnerable.
If he doesn't want to have three, even if he takes control of the entire Baoanzhou in two seconds, he will be confident that he can do it.
The reason why it takes three times is that Li Dingguo is very reliable in doing things and will not brag deliberately. He will leave a way out and some room for himself in everything.
Otherwise, once some unexpected situations occur, it will be extremely bad if you delay some time and cause you to slap yourself in the face.
At that time, I just didn't know how to step down, and I thought it would inevitably make me embarrassed.
"Um."
Zhu Youxiao jumped onto the back of the snow-trapping horse and said with great enthusiasm, "Just do your best."
The big sword in his hand raised towards the front and said with great courage, "Li Dingguo, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Those traitors are really nothing. They are all native people, vulnerable!"
"Let's go out immediately!"
Zhu Youxiao began to urge the war horses, "I'll try this time, climb the city first, are you happy? How happy is it?"
"Hahaha!"
Chapter completed!
