Chapter 652 Hanging up and pumping
In the central tent of Emperor Chongzhen, civil and military ministers stood on both sides. Those like Talong could already wish that he was a transparent person, so he would not be seen by Emperor Chongzhen.
Xu Xianchun even wanted to strangle the Jinyiwei who stayed in the Ming Dynasty to death. This kind of information was not better than that of the Jinyiwei who was sent to the East Factory?
Now that the Emperor is furious, I am standing in front of him alive. What should I do? Wait online, life is at stake, it’s very urgent!
Emperor Chongzhen held the letter in his hand and rustled: "Where are people? Children in their teens can't bear to see them. What are your Jinyiwei and Dongchang doing for food!"
Xu Xianchun just bowed and said, "Damn it!"
Emperor Chongzhen threw a letter from his hand at Xu Xianchun: "Give me instructions and send someone to me to find it! If I can't find it, I will want their heads!"
Emperor Chongzhen, who was so angry that he was a little dizzy, paced back and forth, and ordered: "Send people to find them and order people to block all ports and borders, especially the southeast and Yunnan areas.
Also, the Duke of Qian led his troops back to Yunnan for inspection and searching carefully. We must find this bastard for me!"
After stopping, Emperor Chongzhen picked up the tea on the table and drank it all, and then continued: "After finding it, don't send it back to the palace, tie it directly to me. I want to hang him up and smoke it! I can't kill this little bastard, I will take his surname!"
Lai Zongdao, who was on the expedition, couldn't help but hear this and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it's important to take care of the dragon's body. As long as the eldest prince has not yet left the borders of our Ming Dynasty, he will probably be able to find it."
After hesitating for a moment, Lai Zongdao continued: "Even if you leave the borders of the Ming Dynasty, the eldest prince must be coming in this direction. Your Majesty, please relax."
After a cold snorting, Emperor Chongzhen sat back on the chair.
The eldest prince ran away, found an excuse to sneak out of the palace, and then ran away after leaving the eunuch who was accompanying him. He stayed in the palace with only one letter saying that he was going to find his father and to share his worries for him.
That's his mother!
Concubine Wan was already crying like a cry. In a frightened and angry, Empress Zhou simply sent twice the number of people to each prince and forbidden everyone from leaving the palace.
After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen continued to instruct: "Tell Wanyan Cheng the order and ask him to lead three thousand iron cavalry to search for the eldest prince after the army."
Emperor Chongzhen then realized that his son had grown up in his teens and was still busy quitting school in his later generations.
It is said that the people love the eldest grandson and the youngest son, but in fact, why is this not the case in the royal family?
Moreover, the eldest son naturally had no possibility of inheriting the throne, which made Emperor Chongzhen vaguely want to compensate the child more.
As a result, I became a habit and learned to run away from home at the age of ten!
...
After shook his head and putting these worries aside, Emperor Chongzhen turned his attention to the civil and military ministers in the tent again.
In the original plan, Myanmar was a good thing, but it would not be so rush to accept it in full. At least there would be time to slowly transition and allow Myanmar to completely integrate into the Ming Dynasty.
However, Cromwell's words completely disrupted Thron's plan and the plan of Emperor Chongzhen, which led to the Ming and Mughal's fight against Emperor Chongzhen in advance so that they would not admit that they had been looking forward to this day long!
After calming down his anger, Emperor Chongzhen said, "Let's talk about it now, what should we do next?"
Nan Juyi bowed directly and said, "I will report to Your Majesty, and I will join the South China Sea Fleet Admiral Zheng to attack all the shore defenses in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Goa.
Now the shore defense of these places is ineffective, and I, the Ming Dynasty, can send a garrison to land in these places and take these places into my pocket.
Afterwards, we can rely on these states as springboards to advance north step by step, and then join forces with the army on Myanmar and then attack the entire Mughal."
Zheng Zhilong also spoke, "I think what Admiral Nan said is. As long as you capture this land, you can form a horn with Myanmar. If you take down Odisha, you can divide the troops into three groups, advance and attack directly, and take Agra."
When Emperor Chongzhen heard the word "Split and Joint Attack", he felt a burst of sadness.
How did Sarhu fail? The most fundamental reason lies in the four words "dividing, entering and attacking"!
In the past, not to mention satellites, there is not even a radio or cable phones in this era, it is basically a nonsense to want the army to spread out the military orders in proportion.
It is precisely because of this that the general is outside and the king is unacceptable to it. It is not on the front line and cannot access the latest military intelligence. Any order may be a life-threatening accident.
As for the tips and tricks written in literary books, it is purely a teenager who has an attack on the disease and needs to be cured!
The "Sun Tzu's Art of War" clearly pointed out that the war has no constant momentum and the water has no constant shape. Those who win due to the changes of the enemy are called gods.
A large number of literati who didn't even know the terrain of the battlefield had fantasized and developed such a formation, and then told the generals how to fight. Why don't you go to such awesomeness?
The routine proposed by Zheng Zhilong is actually the same now.
There is no problem with the division of troops in three groups. This time, the killing talents who came to Mughal to earn military merits were 500,000, and basically one quarter of the Ming Dynasty's troops were drawn. Even if the division of troops in three groups, each of them could reach 170,000.
If we simply look at the strength and firepower of 170,000 people per route, Emperor Chongzhen had enough confidence to angrily criticize Mughal.
After all, the muskets, cannons and other equipment brought by these 500,000 people were basically enough to cover every inch of Mughal land.
However, the unreliability of the division and joint attack is that these three armies have no way to support each other. Even if they do not need support, these three armies have no way to coordinate and divide the labor with each other.
For example, according to Zheng Zhilong, the western army was the army that was the southernmost Mughals in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, the middle army was the army that took Odisha, and the eastern army was the army that was the army that was sent by Myanmar.
The question is, where is Tamil Nadu? Where is Odisha? Where is Myanmar?
Assam won’t talk about him for now. Even if they are not honest, it is not worth worrying. If they can survive the attack of the army for a month and never destroy the country, even if their ancestors’ graves are buried well!
However, from the map, from Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh to the south, until Tamil Nadu, these places are like a large island that stretches out, and Odisha is in the northeast of Andhra Pradesh.
In this case, the consequence of the division of troops in three groups is that Odisha will become the first area to be taken down. By the time the western army advances to Andhra Pradesh, the middle army may have already advanced to the hinterland of the Mughals, probably near Galinger, and the most timely they have to take down the countryside of Gundvana.
If everything goes well in the east, the army will probably advance to Bihar and will probably reach Hajipur.
So the question is, the distance between the Central Army and the Eastern Army is not too far, and it is easier to support each other. What should we do with the Western Army?
If you push forward in a straight way regardless of casualties and supplies, it is actually OK. At least it will be a problem to advance to Salangupl or Raisen, and you can also support each other with the Central Army.
However, the key problem is that it is hard to say how many hidden dangers will be left along the way.
Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen directly denied that the strategy of splitting and attacking can be divided, but there is no need for a combined attack.
In other words, it is okay to divide the troops into three groups, but you can only take care of yourself. As long as you bury your head and push forward, you can quickly and evening the entire Mughal can be piled up.
After pondering for a while, Emperor Chongzhen said: "In addition to the Southern Imperial Guard, another 50,000 Beijing camps were transferred, and the Duke of Qian selected ten more guards who were good at mountain warfare. In addition, those pirates were under the command of Zheng Aiqing, and they took Kerala and Karnataka for me.
The East China Sea Fleet transferred the Northern Imperial Guards to the past, and then dispatched another 50,000 Beijing camps, and the Baigang soldiers were transferred in together. They obeyed the orders of the Southern Aiqing. In proportion, I took over Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh.
After all these places were taken down, the two beloved ministers guarded these sea borders for me, and the land operations were led by the North and South Imperial Guards respectively.
The Southern Imperial Guard and his troops continued to head north, taking Bijapur, and the Northern Imperial Guard and his troops advanced northeastward, and directly taking Gaokangda. Finally, they met at Bidal and continued to advance towards the northwest of the entire Mughal."
After Zheng Zhilong and Nan Juyi bowed together to accept the order, Emperor Chongzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The most troublesome thing in the entire Mughal battle is the situation that depends on the west side.
Because we moved northwest from Kaschibang, we could slowly enter a place name empire cemetery that Emperor Chongzhen often heard. The bear that suppressed for a lifetime was broken here.
Of course, there are many reasons why the hairy bears are broken, such as the hawk sauce produces silver, the rabbit produces light weapons, and the people appear on the cemetery, and finally join forces to bury the hairy bears.
However, Emperor Chongzhen, who was timid and afraid of death, was also extremely worried. Will this place become a cemetery in the Ming Dynasty? After all, those who always do it are so fucking scary.
However, after thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen slowly felt relieved.
The cost of wanting bo! is very high these days. First of all, it is the problem of gunpowder. Secondly, unlike later generations who always talk about human rights, now all rights are decided by Emperor Chongzhen.
Emperor Chongzhen said you are an individual, so congratulations, you can have a Ming household registration and can arbitrarily oppress the barbarians who do not have a Ming household registration.
If Emperor Chongzhen said you were a barbarian, then I’m sorry, no one would care about it on the streets, at least the Ming government would not care about it.
So, pirates like Li Azi came in handy.
Pirates can arrest these people at will and then sell them to the court for five taels of silver. Then the court will arrange these "laborers" into railways to engage in railway construction.
No one will accuse Li Azi and the others. If someone accuses and has a higher strength than pirates like Li Azi and the others, then go and talk to the South China Sea Fleet, their strength is higher.
After gesturing the map for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen was about to study how to arrange the Central Army. The little eunuch who had been guarding outside the door pushed open the tent and knelt down and said, "Report to the Emperor, Duke Cheng and Duke of England to report urgently."
Emperor Chongzhen nodded, looked up and saw no sign of the messenger. He calmed down and casually ordered: "Come in, just listen to any good news."
Only when it is good news can the messenger wait for the interview outside the big tent to be passed on.
If it is bad news about the unfavorable situation of the war, it is just that the messenger sent by Zhu Chunchen would be Hong Ling urgently reported, and he could not use the eunuch's communication and came in directly.
But after the messenger came in, he saluted and said, "I will report to Your Majesty, and Duke Cheng and the British Duke will report to you to your Majesty."
Emperor Chongzhen nodded, signaling Wang Chengen to take the secret report, and asked while unpacking it, "Is this trip going smoothly on Assam?"
The messenger said: "Go back to your Majesty, everything goes well for this trip. The king of Shan Kingdom of Assamur was secretly weak. He led his army to find Manipur without fighting troops, and he had already found the remnants of the former Tang Dynasty."
Emperor Chongzhen nodded and asked, "Did Duke Cheng and Duke of Britain agree that they will return? Have the food and accommodation of the people all arranged along the way?"
Just as he finished asking, Emperor Chongzhen burst into laughter and shook his head and said, "Forget it, I won't ask anymore. Let's take a look at this letter together."
After saying that, Emperor Chongzhen said again: "Come, take the messenger down and have a good rest, prepare meals and drinks."
Seeing Emperor Chongzhen laughing a little, all the civil and military officials in the big tent suddenly became curious.
The civil and military officials had no way to guess the joys and angers of Emperor Chongzhen, and they dared not guess. As long as they do what they should do, they would not know how many idiots who died in a vain way of calculating the mind of heaven. The civil and military officials no longer wanted to jump out and die.
After Wang Chengen handed the letter to Lai Zongdao and others, Lai Zongdao bowed first and said, "I congratulate Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty. Your Majesty's power is spreading, and you surrender without fighting is all due to your great blessing!"
Compared with Wen Tiren, who has always been "working with the king but everyone thinks it's wrong", Lai Zongdao's reputation is at least a little stronger, but now he is playing the magic snail. Others are also curious and squeezed over, intending to see how the letter is written.
After all the others had read it, the civil and military ministers bowed together and said, "I, congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!"
